WP:BLP of a musician and television producer, not reliably sourced as passing our notability criteria for musicians or television producers. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Knowledge articles just because they exist -- the notability test is the ability to verify that his work has been externally validated as significant (e.g. by winning awards for it), not just that it exists. But four of the eight footnotes here are primary sources (IMDb x2; Apple Music; a business directory) that are not support for notability at all, and the other four are glancing namechecks of his existence in media coverage that isn't about him, from a university student newspaper and specialist trade magazines of limited circulation. Which means that exactly zero of the footnotes here actually count a whit toward getting him over WP:GNG, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to get over GNG.

The result was delete. A technical nfooty pass with a single appearance in the final minutes of the final game of a season. Despite appeals that this article should be kept on the grounds that he apparently has an ongoing career, this request is not grounded in any guideline, nor has any evidence been presented that he has an ongoing career. Most importantly though, despite request, not a single source providing significant coverage has been presented, let alone sufficient sources to satisfy GNG. There is absolutely nothing I this discussion to indicate the player has received anywhere near the level of coverage to be considered a notable individual.

  • delete Current consensus in numerous other recent footballer AfDs is that BLP with 1 appearance fails WP:NFOOTY too. Search on Baidu shows limited notability of Wei, centering mostly on his sole appearance, with no further information beyond that, backing the assetion that this fails WP:GNG. I would say that this BLP, under different circumstances, may have flourished instead. 2020 was a dark year in China, especially with COVID affecting all aspects of society there. – robertsky (talk) 08:05, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment - this is a tricky one. He's only 22 so if he has an active career, I would say 'keep', however, if he's packed it all in already, then I would say 'delete' as 3 mins of football and no significant coverage would mean that a stand-alone article isn't needed.

Your ping didn't work for some reason. Do you have any sources saying he has left the club? GiantSnowman 14:06, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
@GiantSnowman: Nope. I was looking through their official website in Chinese (there are more details in there than their EN version, which makes senses since their audience is primarily China). There is no mention of him leaving in their news section. However, he is not listed in the main team, substitutes, or even as staff in the U-19 and below lists (). – robertsky (talk) 17:34, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
Have we got evidence that he passes GNG? None has been presented yet. Spiderone 11:34, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose deletion. I will not express a view about whether Wei Changsheng passes the notability guidelines. I will not express a view about whether Wei Changsheng should have a standalone article. I am only commenting to oppose deletion.

    The article notes that Wei Changsheng is a midfielder for Hebei China Fortune who was promoted to the senior team in the 2019 league season and debuted in the last game of the season. His team's 2019 season has an article at 2019 Hebei China Fortune F.C. season. Per Knowledge:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion, if Wei Changsheng is determined to be non-notable, I recommend a merge to 2019 Hebei China Fortune F.C. season. If and when Wei Changsheng plays more games and receives significant coverage in reliable sources, the redirect can be undone and a standalone article restored.

    Cunard (talk) 06:10, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

    • Comment - Wouldn't it be a redirect @Cunard: as a merge would merge all of this information into that seasonal article. HawkAussie (talk) 22:47, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
      • I would support a redirect (with the history preserved under the redirect) to give editors the option to selectively merge some of the biographical material in Wei Changsheng to 2019 Hebei China Fortune F.C. season. The selective merge would need to comply with the due weight policy so any merge would focus on Wei Changsheng's contributions to the 2019 Hebei China Fortune F.C. season but could have a few sentences about him that's not related to the season.

        (To reiterate my comment so it's clear: "I will not express a view about whether Wei Changsheng passes the notability guidelines. I will not express a view about whether Wei Changsheng should have a standalone article. I am only commenting to oppose deletion.")

  • Keep - A young player with an ongoing career. Unless evidence can be found that he has retired or moved to a much lower division with no hope of continuing a career at the top level, I see no reason for the page to be deleted yet. Davidlofgren1996 (talk) 14:44, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep passes WP:NFOOTY subject is 22 years with an ongoing career.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 22:19, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: No clear consensus, but the idea that the player passes NFOOTY but no sources indicating GNG, is not particularly satisfactory. Difficult to ignore all the keep votes, but at the same time there is little weight behind them. Can any keep voter provide a single source providing significant coverage? That would be a sensible start to this discussion? The local consensus arguments being put forward are not aligned to any guidelines. Feels difficult to close this as anything other than delete if proper sources cannot be presented following a second week of discussion.

    • The first four are regurgitated press releases with no independent information. The fifth and sixth are interviews, which do not count as independent coverage. The last two maybe count but I don't think they are enough to meet GNG on their own, since they're largely made up of quotes from him. (t · c) buidhe 14:22, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Delete I agree with buidhe here having reviewed the available sources. Currently, all four sources in the article are WP:PRIMARY either to an organisation he's involved with or to his own personal website, so it currently fails WP:PROMO. The next question is can it be cleaned up to become notable, and I agree with the press conference/interviews as found above. That leaves us with the Dutch coverage, which translates to a five-part series on community members. That's probably WP:SIGCOV, but considering there's nothing else, on its own, I don't think it establishes notability (as it appears to be less about him being notable, and more about him being profiled as a member of a community.) SportingFlyer T·C 21:03, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
  • I was asked to take another look at the article by Sorabino, who voted keep below, but I still don't see any significant coverage of him in any of the sources. Many are still primary or mere mentions, and the article seems to be written heavily about the organisation he's in charge of. SportingFlyer T·C 12:08, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
Since last additions, I notified you on improvements I made after your initial vote, and asked you to take another look at the current state of the article. Sorabino (talk) 12:29, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
Yes, I've taken another look at the article but am maintaining my vote. SportingFlyer T·C 13:00, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment. In order to be kept, this article should be improved significantly. Regarding the delete proposal itself, it seems to me that recent activities of user buidhe are somehow focused on deleting contents specifically related to Arameans and Assyrians. The same user proposed deletion of the article World Council of Arameans (Syriacs), and also deleted the entire list of works from the article Journal of Assyrian Academic Studies, not to mention previous undiscussed removal of the term "genocide" from the title of the article that is currently called Seyfo (the term genocide was in all previous versions of the title of that article from 2006 to 2020). Also, the same user is presenting itself as an "administrator" on their user′s page, but admits that they are not! Before deleting articles and contents, maybe one should bring its own user page in order? Sorabino (talk) 09:59, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep. In order to be considered for keeping, this article had to be improved, so I added some referenced contents. I also saw that there are many news articles on political activities of this politician, particularly those on international stage, including articles on meetings with various ministers and ambassadors, but that is another story. Sorabino (talk) 13:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
Additional remark: It should be noted that since 2009 (for twelve years now) this person is holding the office of the SUA/WCA president, a position that is regarded as representative within Aramean/Syriac community: "Among the Syrianska elite, especially those individuals who are personally active in the Syrianska secular organizations tend to perceive the president of SUA (Syriac Universal Alliance) as the person in charge of the 'amo Suryoyo." Quotation is taken from the work of Nuresh Atto, cited in the article on SUA/WCA. Term 'amo Suryoyo designates Syriac/Aramean nation, represented globally by the SUA/WCA, that is headed by Messo. As the long-term representative of his nation, and also as an author, this person is certainly above the threshold of notability, and therefore this article should be kept. Sorabino (talk) 02:32, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
I would not oppose a selective merge of this into the World Council of Arameans (Syriacs). As noted at Knowledge:Articles for deletion/World Council of Arameans (Syriacs), we could redirect or merge several articles into that target. Bearian (talk) 23:22, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
In that case, a redirect would be left to that target? Still, it seems to me that the best solution would be to keep the article, since that author is also the head of an umbrella organization that represents an entire Aramean community worldwide. Since this deletion proposal was initiated, I took some interest in those articles and added referenced content, but much more could be added. When it comes to minority organizations and their representatives, deletion should be the last option, only in those cases where true relevance is lacking, but that is not the case here.

  • Weak delete; I am not finding enough significant coverage to pass WP:GNG (only local golf reports/adverts, fairly trivial mentions, and directory listings), so I'm struggling to see how this is anything more than a WP:MILL facility with the curiosity of having a train station named after it. wjemather 15:03, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Delete Article does not meet GNG or ORGCRIT. Nothing with SIGCOV, addressing the subject directly and indepth. Sources in article are a link to the subject's website, a mention in a promo style list article, and a mention in a brief article about the railway station associated with the course. The keep vote above gives no help just stating "notable golf course", no sources, no guidelines, just a vote and this should be discarded by closer as a baseless opinion vote. The delete !votes did the work.  // Timothy :: talk  09:56, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Topos show a facility which is no longer there. Searching was made rather difficult by one M. F. Tarpey who spent a lot of time either in court or testifying to congress. But eventually I found this labor newsletter which identifies the facility as the Italian Swiss Colony Winery. And that is all there was to this railside location. The CDP-designated subdivision of Tarpey Village lies just north of here, and presumably got its name through this proximity, but I see no sign that Tarpey itself was ever a settlement.

Fails WP:NBASE. There is no record of him playing in any Negro league games on Seamheads or Baseball-Reference. According to a Washington Examiner article, he drove the bus for the Newark Eagles.

  • Hmm. He does pass NBASE if he played for the Newark Eagles. Contemporary newspaper articles say that he did, and as I have experienced in looking for minor league stats from that general time period, B-Ref does not have 100% complete stats, so he may well have even though he doesn't have a B-Ref page. There are some sources on Martinez Jackson, not sure if they're enough for GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:51, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Found this mention of Martinez playing for the Newark Eagles: "When Martinez played for the Newark Eagles in the Negro National League he was paid $7 a game. He shakes his head at Reggie's $600,000 per year salary." Narsk (talk) 01:07, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep - I am finding a number of reliable sources stating that he played in the Negro Leagues in the 1930s, e.g., , , , , and there are other stories about him such as this which add to his GNG case, even if he didn't play in the Negro Leagues. Rlendog (talk) 20:12, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
I just think it's odd that all the sources are from the 1980s-onward. This source from 1981 says “He joined the Newark Eagles, a highly respected Negro league baseball team in 1933. The quick, lithe, tough second baseman plated professional baseball for five years.” Well Newark, technically the Newark Dodgers at this point, was an independent team in 1933, which would explain why there are not stats available for him, if he played for them at all, since they didn't play top-level that year.
I emailed Gary Ashwill of Seamheads, and received this reply:
"No, I have never found him playing in a game for the Newark Eagles, though it's always possible he appeared in a game without a box score or a game against white semipro opponents."
So, should newspaper's decades after the fact be the sole supporter of his Negro league status, if no contemporary sources are located? I'm honestly curious. What if Jackson himself just told people he played, and everyone ran with it. Would that be enough to pass WP:NBASE, or does the mere mention of his story so many times over the years give him the WP:GNG pass, regardless of any contemporary proof of playing? Or what if sources are found of him playing, but it was against a semi-pro team? Again, I'm generally curious as to how this should be handled. Penale52 (talk) 14:00, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
1. These are all reliable sources so even if there is some disagreement that should have some weight. 2. Some articles (plus the substantial obituaries) are specifically or substantially (one barely even mentions Reggie) about Martinez Jackson so he passes GNG even if he did not play in the Negro Leagues.

This list is very outdated, and also basically non-notable. Nobody in Australia cares much about regional subdivisions of the state education department, they have little importance. I get the feeling part of the motivation for this article is "America has school districts, other countries must have them too, let's find out what they are called in other countries and make a list of them". But other countries don't necessarily have "school districts" in the American sense. In many parts of the US, "school districts" are a special-purpose form of local government with elections and taxing powers, which makes them notable. In Australia, public schools are run by the state government and supported by state and federal taxes, and the ever-changing internal administrative structures of the state government's education department are non-notable bureaucratic trivia. That's all this article is, non-notable and outdated bureaucratic trivia, and that's why I think it should be deleted. Mr248 (talk) 20:53, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

I cannot see significant coverage of this active session musician. The two existing references are deadlinks. I have found and added two interviews but have not been able to find other coverage. The article has been tagged for notability since 2018. There appears to have been a CoI issue in 2009 - editor saying that they are the subject's PA. That person wrote 23.8% of the text in the current version, according to Who Wrote That. Of course CoI is not a reason for deletion but lack of good coverage is.

Searching is hopeless (denim pants, anyone?) but since nearly every topo labels this as an oil pumping station, I think it is safe to say that it isn't a settlement, nor a notable anything else. Mangoe (talk) 20:03, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Note Searching for hard-to-search places by including nearby settlements often helps. A search for Levis Mendota reveals it's the name assigned to a quadrangle (typically named after the most notable named place in the designated area) and a USGS survey of 1916-1918 notes here that the place was not then occupied. The soil there does seem to be of some interest. Whether the name comes from a previous settlement I'm not sure, but both Mahlon Levis and his son John Levis were well-renowned ranchers of Fresno county in the 19th century.----Pontificalibus 20:24, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Delete - Calling something "post-grunge" as early as 1994 was pretty audacious, but the album received no notice and only appears as a listing in various retail and directory sites. This article serves the exact same function, but WP is an encyclopedia and not a directory. Also note the preponderance of non-notable bands on the compilation, and the notable bands don't seem to have discussed their inclusion on it too much. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:47, 6 March 2021 (UTC) (First half-sentence stricken due to its offensiveness for the overly sensitive.)
Your "delete" description is pretty much a giant red herring. We're not here to comment on whether we like the name or not of the album and it's not relevant to the discussion. Furthermore, the article has a mention in an actual book referenced on the article which goes above and beyond it being a mere directory, but you seem to neglect that fact. The bands being discussed on the compilation is also irrelevant. Yeah the article is skimpy, but your reasoning is flawed. Leitmotiv (talk) 22:31, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
"Audacious" is a compliment, kind sir. According to dictionary.com: 1) bold, daring, fearless; 2) original, highly inventive. Consider using that site to look up "red herring", "rubbish", and "inquisition" as well, all of which you used incorrectly when stating your disagreement with my vote. The cited book (Street Style in America) is clearly visible in Google Books, and all it does is mention the album's existence in a single sentence. That does not qualify for "significant coverage" at the general notability guideline, and there is no evidence that the album passes any of the seven requirements at the album notability guidelines just because it exists. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:35, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
No, I typically look up words all the time at m-w, just to be sure. When I used these words, it was no exception, and I did not use them in error. I took your use of the word audacious as the reckless or rash version, because you also made what I feel is a derogatory statement about the artists included on the compilation. Together, it would seem you aren't praising the work. My main point is that half of the substance of your comment is a non-sequitur, or red herring. It can lead to conversations like these which are neither here nor there. If you had simply commented about NALBUM or GNG, that would have sufficed, but to me, it appeared as if you went out of your way to disparage the work in a comment period about the merit (or lack thereof) of the article. Leitmotiv (talk) 18:37, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
Yawn. All of this because of one half of a sentence in which I added some colorful language on the album's title. Ignore that "non-sequitur" of "disparagement" if it hurts your feelings, and then find that it is audaciously unworthy of your apoplexy, because 95% of everything I have said is about the album's lack of notability per WP policies already described multiple times. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:59, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
And so it continues. Leitmotiv (talk) 18:27, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep - This comp. album is cited by an actual book, which is more than many full-fledged albums by popular groups can make claim to. I think that given some interest Five Fingers of Funk could have a Knowledge article in the future and may be able to reference this article. I linked Nero's Rome to the Dandy Warhols, their followup act. Leitmotiv (talk) 22:41, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
    Are you saying that the article passes WP:GNG based on this short book mention alone? That would require a very different understanding of "significant coverage" than what the guideline says it is. Also, those full-fledged albums by popular groups you speak of, while irrelevant to this discussion, should obviously be deleted too, so I'm not sure how that's an argument for keeping. Lennart97 (talk) 23:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
    I'm mostly saying the vote by Doomsdayer520 is faulty by way of an initial rubbish inquisition and a later one too. The premise that is laid out by them is a red herring and of no use. I'm fully aware my statement looks like "whataboutism" and I'm not trying to argue along those lines. No doubt many of those albums have other good articles to keep them afloat. For what it's worth I added another reference. Leitmotiv (talk) 00:49, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Leitmotiv, I noticed your PAs on another editor above. I would strongly suggest you strike these comments; I'm certain this was just an unfortunate choice of words on your part.  // Timothy :: talk  15:35, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Alright. Would you mind quoting the relevant passage from that second reference, as it's offline? Also, I'll just ping Doomsdayer520 in case they're not watching this page, as they may want to reply to the above. Lennart97 (talk) 10:25, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
    What I edited into the article is about the extent of it. It discusses Elemental Records (the publisher of the album) along with 4 other indie labels operating on shoestring budgets. For Elemental they talk with the owner and briefly discuss Northwest Ungrunge as being their first offering and how most of those bands quickly dissolved. The first page shows the owner holding two albums in his hands (one of Floater's Sink, the other of Northwest Post-Grunge). The second page has a listing of all 5 indie label offerings, including Post-Grunge. The Register-Guard is available on Google's newspaper archive. Leitmotiv (talk) 18:43, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

My name is Monica and I work for Armstrong Teasdale. The firm was hoping to improve the page but was advised it may not qualify for one in the first place. I am not aware of any national publications with a broad audience that have published in-depth profiles on the firm to meet WP:CORP. Most of the citations are articles that mention Armstrong Teasdale, but the firm is not the primary subject.

    3. Cole, Heather (2008-01-14). "Armstrong's shrinking Kansas City office focuses on litigation". Missouri Lawyers Weekly.

      The article notes, "Armstrong Teasdale's Kansas City office is the product of a 1989 merger with the then-Dietrich, Davis, Dicus, Rowlands, Schmitt & Gorman, whose partners at that time included former Kansas City mayor Ilus Winfield Davis. ... Among the high-profile litigation cases handled by the office's attorneys in 2007 were the defense of a lawsuit filed by the family of a St. Louis firefighter who died in a fire at an industrial building in 2002. Hursh and other Armstrong attorneys represented safety gear manufacturer Survivair Respirators and its parent company, Bacou-Dalloz, which is now Sperian Protection. The plaintiffs, who claimed the firefighter's safety equipment and air mask were defective, won a $27 million verdict. ... Another of the office's attorneys, Jerry King, helped win a defense verdict for a fuel tank parts manufacturer and service company in a product liability trial brought by the family of a tanker-truck driver killed in a fuel explosion."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Armstrong Teasdale to pass Knowledge:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations is WP:NCORP and applies a stricter interpretation of requirements than for other topics. In short, WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "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. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, no echo-chamber stuff, etc. None of the references in the article or in this AfD meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing 20:57, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
  • HighKing, it's just simply not true to say that the general notability guidelines don't apply. "Organizations are considered notable if they meet one of the following sourcing requirements: ... the primary criteria for organizations, or the general notability guideline". In any event, your above analysis seriously misinterprets the notability criteria for organizations. First, you quote the criteria as requiring that a source must contain independent content. But then, you say a source must not rely on any "company information or announcements or interviews" and the like—and standard that would disqualify any article in which the diligent journalist called up the relevant companies for comment before publication. In other words, while the criteria actually say what a source must include, you are claiming the criteria say what a source must not include.
Meanwhile, you haven't addressed the thousands of sources (2,691, at last count) found via newspapers.com, let alone the examples provided above. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:21, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Hi Usernameunique, I disagree with most of what you've said. First if you go back and read what I said, I did not say that GNG don't apply. Rather, I'm pointing out an article about a company/organization *must* meet NCORP criteria. So the point I'm making is that saying this article meets GNG is irrelevant, because it must meet NCORP which is a stricter standard. If it meets NCORP, it will automatically have met GNG. Second you extract a quote from NCORP to show that it is either/or between NCORP and GNG but fail to see that the section in question is entitled "Alternate criteria for specific types of organizations" and this topic falls outside of these criteria. I would also add that this section of NCORP appears to be out-of-date with the latest changes made to WP:N policy where WP:SNG was recently updated and specifically states that SNGs can also provide examples of sources and types of coverage considered significant for the purposes of determining notability, such as the treatment of book reviews for our literature guidelines and the strict significant coverage requirements spelled out in the SNG for organizations and companies.. Third the purpose of WP:ORGIND is to ensure that the article isn't just another part of a company's PR echo-chamber - that is, the article isn't simply repeating information provided by the company or its officials. So when you say that a "diligent journalist called up the relevant companies for comment before publication", can you point to where it says that in the article? Or is that an assumption? Can you easily and clearly point to "independent opinion/analysis/investigation" *clearly* attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject, or is it just the journalist repeating the same information provided by the company or its officials? Finally Saying but there's thousands of references isn't a legitimate argument. If you've found a good reference, link it below and I'll take a look and if its good I'll change my !vote.

  • Redirect to Recovery (Eminem album)--this is blatant WP:CFORK. It is completely normal for albums to have planned titles before being officially released. No point in a standalone article on an unreleased project. Also, I would suggest protect the redirect to avoid recreation. (talk) 08:05, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Recovery (Eminem album) - This isn't really an "unreleased album". Instead it was merely the speculated title of a speculated project, with the title arising when Eminem merely announced like anyone else would that he was working on new material during that period. The fact that Eminem admitted that he threw away some recordings and started over means that this was never meant to be considered an "album" in its own right. The aborted sessions can be discussed briefly at the actual album that came next, Recovery. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:38, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

But that has been a redirect to Outline of LGBT topics#Anti-LGBT topics since 2014. I interpret this as consensus to keep the article at issue here and move it to Discrimination against gay men, overwriting the redirect.

The conversion of this redirect to an article is being disputed and has been reverted several times this week. It has been cited as a content fork (from homophobia?) although there appears to be zero content related to this term anywhere in Knowledge. Until today, the word didn't exist in any place except this redirect. Now it is in two templates but not apparently wikilinked from anywhere else, so I have my doubts how notable it really is. Certainly the word exists and has been in use in some circles for a decade or so. Lithopsian (talk) 15:50, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Keep per WP:GNG. The term is well-defined within both the fields of queer theory and LGBT history. It has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources, including academic monographs, federal-level government documents, and LGBT-related terminology guides. The umbrella term homophobia in an academic sense includes lesbophobia, gayphobia, biphobia, and transphobia, as well as acephobia and other -phobias related to LGBT-identity. The creation of an article (using the litany of well-sourced materials currently available) on gayphobia is no more of a WP:CFORK than articles on these other topics. Louisianajones1978 (talk) 16:13, 5 March 2021 (UTC) Changed vote. See below.
  • Keep WP:WINARS.

1. "There is very clearly a difference in mechanisms between gayphobia and lesbophobia, and this translates into different types of aggression. Where the collective imagination over-sexualizes gay men and exerts strong verbal and physical violence against boys and men who are not considered sufficiently masculine / heterosexual; for women, on the other hand, the assertion of their lesbian identity will be further disqualified, minimized, reduced to a fad, or even sexualized as a prelude to heterosexuality." Pride march: 'Lesbians are not necessarily found in the speeches of many LGBT associations'
2. "Gayphobia is a form of homophobia that specifically affects men. Although it is primarily aimed at gay and bisexual men, it can also affect heterosexual men who are perceived as homosexual. Gay men may be targets of physical aggression or devalued by stereotypes linked to feminisation and hypersexualisation." 2020-2023 National Action Plan to Promote Equal Rights and Combat Anti-LGBT+ Hatred and Discrimination
3. "However, parallel to this semantic broadening, there has been an inverse movement of lexical differentiation operating at the heart of the concept of homophobia. Because of the specificity of attitudes towards lesbianism, the term lesbophobia has been introduced into theoretic discourses, a term which brings to light particular mechanisms that the generic concept of homophobia tends to overshadow. With one stroke, this distinction justifies the term gayphobia, since much homophobic discourse, in reality, pertains only to male homosexuality. Similarly, the concept of biphobia has also been proposed in order to highlight the singular situation of bisexuals, often stigmatized by both heterosexual and homosexual communities. Moreover, we need to take into consideration the very different issues linked to transsexual, transvestite, and transgender persons, which brings to mind the notion of transphobia."

Ok, so just to be clear. Your claim is that a term which has been in circulation for over a decade, used in federal documents from both the U.S. and French federal governments, described in peer-reviewed academic studies, defined at a semantic level by queer theorists and gender historians, and used colloquially in journalistic pieces... is a neologism? WP:NEO points clearly to WP:PSTS, which tells us: "Knowledge articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources." This article has a combination of all three. I think it's a good idea to address any potential issues regarding WP:SYNTH, but at its core, this article is an overdue companion to the other LGBT-related phobias included under the umbrella of homophobia.

  • Delete or Merge to Discrimination against gay men (per discussion below) – this is a vogue word of French origin (coined by fr:Daniel Welzer-Lang, afaict) that achieved some usage in English, mostly in translated works, but never really caught on. In google ngrams, the term does not register at all. (Compare with ngram results for some other rare terms.) In books, of the top 10 most relevant results for the term, only 3 unique results actually contain the term (1. Kirst-Ashman (2013), 2. Tin (2008)-a French article by Guillaume Huyez, quoting five footnotes, all French; and 3. "Out" mag (Jun 2005)-a quotation by Anne Roiphe). It's telling that result #6 is there because it's another "Out" volume that indexes the same Roiphe quotation as #3. (The fact that Google books includes two magazine results in the top ten, is a very strong indicator that results in actual books are almost non-existent.) Result #7 is a false positive—it does indeed contain the word, but as one of the "wrong answers" in a multiple-choice quiz question about "prejudice towards homosexuality". Three results in books is an incredibly low bar, and you can find all sorts of dreck that have three results in books but don't deserve their own article at Knowledge; pussy phobia (4 results), fagphobia (5), and so on. It's a little harder to pick out the exact count of academic articles that use the term, but looking at the top 10 results in Scholar, there seem to be less than ten results with the term, because normally you wouldn't get three "citation" results in the top ten, unless the term was practically non-existent. In the seven results that are articles containing the term, I see Italian journals or with Italian authors (two), Indonesian (two), leaving three English; #2 is by co-author D Welzer-Lang (French, the coiner), #3 is by C Fraïssé (French?), and one possibly original English article (TF Reed, 1989; 1 citation to it). This is underwhelming, as evidence for the term. On the web, the top ten results for the query gayphobia -wikipedia shows mostly definition pages and Knowledge mirrors; result #10 (indiegogo) is about Uganda. However search aficionados will know that the "20,100" hit count listed on search page one is a relevance tally that doesn't mean the pages actually contain the term; to see the actual number of pages containing it, page forward to result page #10 and you will see that there are actually about 94 pages on the web with this term. That is an incredibly small number for the internet; most misspellings have more than that (homopobia has 163). The internet is a big place, it's not hard to find a few dozen examples of your favorite word, no matter what it is. Plus, in the academic world, it's a crowded, publish-or-perish field; you can't blame somebody for trying a neologism to see if it catches on. Usually they don't, and this one clearly did not. Knowledge is not an indiscriminate collection of everything findable on the internet; that said, if this word starts to gather legitimate references in scholarly articles (in English), or in books (in English), or on the web in reliable, non-SPS sources, then it could be considered for inclusion. But it falls far short of that standard in 2021. Mathglot (talk) 19:48, 6 March 2021 (UTC) updated by Mathglot (talk) 17:28, 9 March 2021 (UTC) per discussion below
Comment: WP:NEO says instead of using a neologism, it's "preferable to use a title that is a descriptive phrase in plain English if possible, even if this makes for a somewhat long or awkward title." Seems like the original point of this article was to describe homophobic discrimination against gay men, analogous to lesbophobia for lesbians. Probably most people could agree the topic is notable (something like a third of the countries in the world which bar homosexuality singularly ban male homosexuality 1). Maybe best course of action is to WP:MOVE what is salvageable from this article to "Homophobic discrimination against gay men" or something like that, with Gayphobia as a redirect to that page? Garcia1865 (talk) 21:59, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
That's a sensible suggestion.Polyamorph (talk) 22:17, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
No objection here, either. Or just shorten to "Discrimination against gay men", as the homophobic might be redundant in that context. To the extent that the gay- prefix of gayphobia is supposed to indicate men only, then another alternative might be "Antigay sentiment", unless in that form it might be ambiguous whether it was supposed to include women or not, and just seem like a synonym for homophobia. (Then again, not sure why that same objection does not apply just as well to the term gayphobia; or maybe it does?) An advantage of that term, is that it already seems to be used quite a bit (see search results in web, books, academia). Another advantage might be, that there are quite a few articles already entitled "Anti-FOO sentiment"; usually with a country or ethnic FOO, but I think it's the same general idea. See also, List of anti-cultural, anti-national, and anti-ethnic terms, although that list doesn't include gender/orientation terms. Mathglot (talk) 22:43, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
@Mathglot: Anti-gay sentiment visually looks great and, you're right, it does provide a neat uniformity with other "Anti-FOO sentiment" articles, but to be honest, I'm concerned its general usage broadly does seem to refer to anti-LGBT sentiment. To your first point, I do agree that "Discrimination against gay men" is less redundant than "Homophobic discrimination against gay men." Garcia1865 (talk) 23:07, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Garcia1865, yes, I'm concerned about it too, for the same reason you identify. It's ironic, because the gayphobia term should be subject to the exact same objection; maybe it isn't, though, because sometimes language works in funny ways. But we shouldn't forget that English Knowledge attracts lots of foreign visitors, and even if our native competence in English might suggest that Antigay sentiment is ambiguous while some other "gay-something" is men only, we can't expect ESL speakers to figure out such subtleties. Whatever term we come up with, it should be something that is clear to someone who speaks some English but is not necessarily perfectly fluent in it. Mathglot (talk) 00:05, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
Mathglot, completely agree. It’s additionally hard because gay in Spanish and French already refer exclusively to gay men, whereas in English gay refers to both men and women, so I feel the title should either have the word "man" or "male" if the term gay is also used. We could go along the lines of "Hostile prejudice" with something like “Gay male prejudice”? It’s not quite as punchy as a term like gayphobia but not as clunky as “Discrimination against gay men.” Garcia1865 (talk) 01:43, 7 March 2021 (UTC) Perhaps not, maybe "Discrimination against gay men" makes the most sense.

Article on what is basically a television pilot for a failed TV series that aired all of once on Disney XD in 2012. There is zero reliably sourced coverage on it. The article's current "sources" are a 'dead link' ref to the Disney XD page (and so fails to verify what it is supposed to source), a primary source press release from ABC-Disney that apparently covers one of the pilot's creators (but does not mention this pilot at all), and a blog from the other pilot's creator (which fails WP:SELFPUBLISH). This is so obscure that it doesn't even have an IMDb entry. Clear WP:GNG and WP:TVSHOW fail. --IJBall (contribstalk) 15:00, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Delete per above. -Cupper52 10:00, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete A lot of mentions in books, including this book on the Equality of Men and Women in a discussion on different religions. This journal discusses it as well. Most of the other books and journals look to be tied to the religion itself, so I don't know how much those help to establish the notability.

  • Delete Current sources fails WP:GNG. Hulatam (talk) 16:13, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article is poorly written and needs a name change, but it clearly has notability as the highest appointed position in the Baha'i Faith, with less than 100 people worldwide. Each person has jurisdiction over several states or countries. As individuals they probably don't deserve notability for their own articles, but the role is covered in any overview of the religion's administrative structure. For example, Peter Smith's Concise Encyclopedia of the Baha'i Faith (2000) page 112; Paula Hartz's World Religions series Baha'i Faith (2009) page 110-111; William Garlington (ex-Baha'i writing critically) Baha'i Faith in America (2008) pages 52, 66-68, 159; Scarecrow Press covered the Baha'i Faith as part of two series Historical Dictionaries of religions, Philosophies, and Movements (2007) and The A to Z guide series (2009), both have entries for Continental Boards of Counsellors on pages 110-111 and 107-108, respectively; Britannica's very brief article Baha'i Faith mentions continental counselors as a two-paragraph overview of "Organization". I challenge someone to find a source covering Baha'i administration that doesn't mention the continental counselors. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 17:17, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep There are several references in the bibliography on the page and this discussion has brought up several more. We have non-Bahai sources, but I don't think sources totally independent from the whole religion are necessary to establish notability - there are thousands of wiki articles that rely wholly or in large part on the Catholic Encyclopedia. This institution is linked to from the main page on the religion - see Baháʼí_Faith#Universal_House_of_Justice Furius (talk) 11:17, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep There are many academic sources that cover the topic, several were added to the article yesterday. Here are a few more: (72, 175, 176, 179, 183), the main article about the Baha'i faith on Iranica Encyclopedia: , and these two from the same Encyclopedia: , . Tarikhejtemai (talk) 04:49, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
All of those are either Baha'i sources or WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS.Serv181920 (talk) 06:48, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
None of Tarikhejtemai's sources are Baha'i. I don't think "trivial mentions." Nor are they trivial mentions: the Iranica Encyclopedia gives them a full paragraph; Introduction to Bahai Faith (not a Baha'i source) deals with them on multiple pages. Furius (talk) 15:15, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
As Furius said none of the sources are Baha'i sources. The main article about the Baha'i faith in Iranica Encyclopedia, which is a very credible tertiary source on topics related to Iran, defines what the institution of the counsellors is and so does the Cambridge book. The institution is such an important and integral part of the Baha'i faith that most academic works that deal with the Baha'i faith in detail cover it. Tarikhejtemai (talk) 02:24, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment. I'm not going to vote in this one, because this article doesn't use enough inline citations and instead uses a long list of books, which is very hard to verify. But in response to a comment above, I will say that one paragraph is not usually considered significant coverage. –Novem Linguae (talk) 15:49, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

  • Comment. I just finished re-writing the page. I count 8 reliable sources (there are variations from the same authors, so really 6) that independently cover the Baha'i administration and all give coverage to the Boards of Counsellors with different depth. There may be more that could be added but I think it's notability is clear anyway. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 05:42, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Thanks for your work. This looks much better. A minor point: I think it is a bit weird for the lead to start by defining "Continental Counsellors" rather than the "Institution of the Counsellors" - I don't know whether the best solution to that is re-writing the lead or moving the article to Continental Counsellors, but you're surely best-placed to make a decision on that.

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

Reason: WP:OR and bold split of Public housing estates in Ngau Tau Kok and Kowloon Bay (which itself is problematic).

Kwun Tong District is a legally defined admin-district which some department of the executive branch of the government took advise from the Kwun Tong District Council. While Ngau Tau Kok, Kowloon Bay (or Yau Tong, Lam Tin, Kwun Tong) are commonly known neighbourhoods of the district , but not Ping Shan, Kowloon. There are no legally defined boundaries of any of the aforementioned neighbourhoods, so that all aforementioned articles (Public housing estates in X (Kwun Tong District)) should be merged to Public housing estates in Kwun Tong District for the sake of not wasting time to define which housing estate belong to which neighbourhoods (as the folk / community definition of their neighbourhoods are often overlapped), as well as clean up to purge content that read like WP:DIRECTORY to fit the WP:article size guideline.

Evidence of "Ping Shan (Kowloon)" neighbourhood not even exist and the noun is more commonly refer to Ping Shan, (the New Territories) is the google search result of "Ping Shan" site:scmp.com Matthew hk (talk) 09:24, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

WP:TOOSOON. The article was draftified by me, but the creator moved it back to mainspace. The actor has played significant role in just one drama series The Catch (TV series) . She also co-starred in the film A Futile and Stupid Gesture (film) , the article doesn't mention much about her role just states that she joined the ensemble. The rest of the roles are all guest appearances. and are just interviews with the subject. So from what I see, the subject currently fails WP:NACTOR since there is no evidence of "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" and also fails WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO.

She has appeared in a significant number of TV series, and currently has a major role in Resident Alien , so keep. RGCorris (talk) 10:31, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
I would say her role in Resident Alien is "significant". RGCorris (talk) 12:46, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

She's got a significant role in which has been mentioned in the media. So that's significant roles in two tv series, and multiple interviews with the subject. I also think a good definition of significant for these purposes is whether she has a name role,and she has a name role in many more than two series; she's mentioned in a bunch of wikipedia articles, for that reason. People are likely to want to know what else she's done, and look to wikipedia for that, which seems like it's what the encyclopedia is here for. I'd add that wikipedia has a huge problem with not covering significant women, so we should maybe think about that as well before deleting articles about them. KEEP.

This school only goes through 8th grade. Schools in the US that do not go to the high school level need very good sourcing to show notability, which is entirely lacking here. In fact this article has existed for almost 13 years, and the only source is the subjects own website. I did a google search and found the usually review websites we can find on basically any school that currently exists, but since we have never held that every school that exists is notable, there is nothing about that which shows that this is a notable school.

    • The building does not make the school notable. The Banner talk 09:59, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
    • None of those sources are substantially about the school, at least one is a caption to a picture provided by this school to a very specialized publication, and the last is about students from many schools and does not specify this school at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:58, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
      • JPL, you should read the last more closely. The student leading the protest attends the school and the school is named. Given the plethora of independent sources, the building the school has built is clearly notable and should have an article. The school itself should be covered in that article as well. Note that I've added two more sources and begun cleaning up the article itself.--User:Namiba 13:43, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
        • Having someone from a particular school be a leader of some random protest march, does not make the school itself notable. Knowledge needs less presentism. Until we have articles on every elementary school that fed key children in civil rights action in the early 1960s, having this article based on such a passing presentist case is not justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:38, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
            • Presentism has nothing to do with it. There are now 2 full-length newspaper articles, sources from 4 independent non-news sites, and an academic journal article on the page.--User:Namiba 21:03, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Per SCHOOLOUTCOMES, "Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions have enough coverage to be notable, although that coverage may not be readily available online." This is an independently accredited institution.--User:Namiba 15:00, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
This is a K-6 institution, that is elementary level, it does not grant a degree. So it does not fall under that rubric. The quote you cite is refering really to tertiary institutions, although for other reasons we generally treat secondary institutions as notable. We only accept that a very, very few elementaries are notable. You are misapplying and minsinterpreting the text you are quoting. It in no way refers to this elementary school.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:47, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Leaving aside SCHOOLOUTCOMES, I agree that most elementary schools are not notable. However, most elementary schools don't have two major newspaper articles about their unique beliefs and values, nor has the building they built and occupy been discussed by a half-dozen or more sources because it is among the first of its kind. That's why this school in particular is notable.--User:Namiba 19:02, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

  • Redirect and partially merge. The school is clearly not notable. The school building is arguably marginally notable, which is the wrinkle here. I think I still support deletion, but I'm not sure the school guidelines are the best way to decide this one. A sentence in Cumberland, Maine is probably appropriate.

  • Redirect - to Cumberland, Maine per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES and WP:ATD. Sourcing does not meet GNG or ORGCRIT for the subject, sourcing above about the building does not meet NBUILD, "Buildings, including private residences and commercial developments, may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." Looks like a wonderful school with a good facility, but this is not an encyclopedic topic.  // Timothy :: talk  16:38, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
You don't think the sources are sufficient to meet NBUILD? They are numerous, independent, and in-depth.--User:Namiba 18:56, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
I don't think so, but Namiba, may I make a suggestion? Why don't you pick the three best sources, and make arguments on how they show NORG? Perhaps an organized argument might sway myself or others. 174.254.198.242 (talk) 02:56, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Sure. Here are 4 unique, independent, in-depth sources. There are more available. , , , .--User:Namiba 03:35, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
None of the above shows historic, social, economic, or architectural importance. It shows someone built an energy efficent building and it has nothing to do with the subject of the article - the school and does not have SIGCOV about the school. Namiba I suggest you write an article about the building if you think this is notable coverage.  // Timothy :: talk  17:14, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
My plan is to add several sections on the building itself. It doesn't make sense to delete the article and simply start it over. Moreover, the two full-length Press Herald articles on the school itself constitute significant coverage.--User:Namiba 17:17, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

    • Can you explain in what way it is not neutral? What do you feel should be mentioned about corruption? You are correct that the sentence you quote is vaguely written, I wrote that because I felt I did not have good enough sources to make the statement without qualifying it. I suppose it can be changed to be more decisive. Jabbi (talk) 12:56, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment Might I begin first of all by thanking Hatchens for starting this discussion by nominating it for deletion, it is important due diligence, selfless work, and asking those users that have already contributed to this debate, User:Kbabej, User:Expertwikiguy & User:Partizan Kuzya to read my argument below and reconsider their stance. Secondly, I would suggest that this entity requires some familiarization with Belarusian politics because, as I will argue, context specific information is necessary to understand why he is WP:GNG. Third, Belarus does not enjoy freedom of speech. In my view, this means that WP:SIGCOV should not be as stringent a requirement because, in addition to the above, most sources will be written in Russian or Belarusian (of which I speak neither). These two elements combine to raise the bar, there are fewer sources of information out there because of censorship and those sources are difficult to find and fully understand by non-Russian speakers. In that vein, I urge all editors reading this to consider the issue of systemic bias in the English Knowledge.
    • Responding to WP:GNG: Zaitsev is number 10 in the "TOP 200 successful and influential businessmen of Belarus - 2019" according to the Belarusian business website Diary His rise on that list has been meteoric, nobody knows really where he's gotten his money from. Alexander, who is still a relatively young man, had an unremarkable career in public service up until the early 2000s, when it seems he went to the UAE before returning a rich man. Alexander has not made his fortune in IT unlike fellow countryman and businessman Victor Kislyi (of Wargaming computer game franchise, who fails WP:GNG) but in minerals according to his Diary profile . This is then made all the more conspicuous by the fact that before ending his career as a civil servant and leaving for UAE, Zaitsev was an aide to Viktor Lukashenko, the son of Alexander Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus since 1994, albeit illegitimately according to Western authorities, since the 2020 Belarusian presidential election. Here is a 2018 source from Belarus.by, the official website of the Belarus Republic, where the president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, is not only giving his blessing for “Bremino-Orsha”, a special economic zone but actually ordering its progress to be expedited. Who is the chairman of the group behind the project but Alexander Zaitsev. One might ask how it comes to be that a public server and aide of the presidential son, with no known business interests a decade earlier, is all of the sudden one of Belarus' top influential businessmen, clearly supported strongly by the Lukashenko family (and there are unsubstantiated rumors). In other news, Zaitsev has been busy with his pet football project, a la Abramovich but on a smaller scale, he flew Diego Maradona in to have him sign up as chairman to FC Dinamo Brest(). Vytis Jurkonis says that Zaytsev should be considered a "politically exposed person – or PEP – due to with the Lukashenko regime."
    • Responding to WP:SIGCOV: I have already made the arguments above but with summarize them here again. This is a non-English and even a non-Roman alphabet entity which brings challenges for English Knowledge consumption. There should be a less stringent requirement for the above reasons. Nonetheless, I feel there are sufficient sources gathered in the article itself and in the above discussion both by myself and User:Thjarkur.
    • Responding to WP:THREE: 1 Belarus president wants industrial, logistics hub in Orsha District sooner, Belarus.by, the official website of the Belarus Republic, 11 Jul 2018 2 Alexander Zaitsev, Diary TOP 200 successful and influential businessmen of Belarus - 2019. 3 Businessman Zaitsev left the football club Dynamo Brest, which became a state, Tut.by, January 13, 2021
    • Responding to WP:RS/WP:RSP: The fact that Belarusian web sources do not appear on the list of debated reliable sources is not surprising in the least, it would in fact be surprising if they did. The Belarusian sources cited are among the most popular Belarusian news and information sites. Is there any specific reason they should not be consider as valid per WP:RS#News organizations.
    • Finally, I encourage you to think critically about in what ways Yury Chyzh or Vladimir Peftiev meet your requirements but Zaytsev does not. Thank you, --Jabbi (talk) 01:43, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

  • Delete I am suspecting WP:COI here. I checked the articles with Google translate. A lot of the content are not supported by these articles. to Jabbi : for example: How would you know that "Alexander was born in Ruzhany in Brest Region in 1976?" none of these articles have such info. In addition, only 5 news from foreign publications that do not look credible is not enough to meet WP:GNG. If you are connected contributor, you must also declare this.

    • I take exception to your unsubstantiated accusation of COI. You do not answer specific questions about why it is not neutral. You then go on to provide a blog as a source for your claim of corruption. I am finding it hard to take your contributions here seriously. --Jabbi (talk) 15:35, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Tribuna.com is not a blog, but online media with up to 200 employees. One more soure about corruption from Belsat TV. Here is another source about corruption from AFN.by. Please read the sources that explain corruption. COI is highly plausible as none of the information about corruption is mentioned in the article. --Partizan Kuzya (talk) 16:59, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

  • Partizan Kuzya: I am still not certain about how reliable your sources are but I would be happy to include a sentence about alleged involvement in corrupt business practices citing them. I assume this assuages your concern about COI. Do you then still maintain that the article still is not notable ? Could I ask you to compare with Yury Chyzh and tell me what is the difference? --Jabbi (talk) 17:13, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: I have explained my reasoning in detail above. I request contributing editors substantiate claims they wish to make about any issues they might have with the article. To give more context on my reason for creating the article (and I am perhaps a bit inspired by Navalny's recent documentary), Zaytsev seems like a suspicious businessman involved with the Lukeshenko family. I would not be strongly against deleting it. In the event I would merge information here into the Viktor Lukashenko article. I do think though that if a deletion is carried through, the same editors in favour of that should take up the same discussion for the article Yury Chyzh, because I see the two articles as entirely compatible. --Jabbi (talk) 16:12, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Hatchens, do you want to weigh in here? I don't want this to go stale. Since you are following up with an AFD here I would expect you to apply the same to Yury Chyzh or failing that, explain the difference between these articles. --Jabbi (talk) 19:25, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

  • Keep: He seems plainly notable to me based on coverage I can find, notwithstanding the backdrop of censorship and corruption in Belarus. Tut.By, a leading news site in Belarus, published a decent piece of Zaytsev in 2018. (Title, "“Friendship with Rumas”. The businessman who brought Maradona to Brest"). And This article in By.Tribuna.com is also significant coverage of Zaytsev; (RSF (Reporters Without Borders) relays that this is a very popular Belarusian sports news website that sometimes crosses into political territory.) The Russian wikipedia has had an article on him since November 2019 with no apparent questioning of his notability (for whatever that is worth). I find it somewhat amusing that this apparently powerful person in Belarus likely would have no article if he hadn't bought the football team he rooted for as a child. In the 2018 article, he says "I have not been and do not intend to become a public person." Well, don't buy a football team, the sport that spawned WAGs for merely being around the sport.--Milowent 22:04, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

I suggest this article should not be deleted. Hatchens who has twice nominated it for deletion has not responded or participated in the debate despite me having courteously asked him to participate in what he started. He seems to be very selectively active. Other users have mainly mentioned WP:COI which is rather plainly not the case IMO (there is a Russian page with more critical information, the English version I created is not based on it, I did not know about it). Charges of WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV seem therefore wide of the mark (perhaps the reason Hatchens is busy with other random stuff). --Jabbi (talk) 20:53, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Dear Jabbi, kindly read my comment which I posted along with this AfD nomination. The reasons given by me at the time of nomination is more than enough to justify my view on an entity and then I always prefer the group to take the call. If there is a general consensus to keep this page, then I'm fine with it. But, I guess ... consensus has not been achieved at all. More than that, each Knowledge has its own standards, and the acceptance of an article's topic or of any part of its content in one language is no guarantee that it will be accepted in another. For more details, click here. Secondly, what I have also noticed that you are comparing this entity with other entities and asking why they should be also kept live (in AfD discussion). This is not good reasoning... at all. - Hatchens (talk) 04:48, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

    • @Hatchens: Thank you for responding and pinging the editors that are collaborating. Nominating a page twice for deletion and not participating in the debate about its deletion is sloppy. I suggest you limit your activities to finishing what you start. It is impolite, although I appreciate how consistently polite and civil your tone is. You will note that after repeated prodding and your pinging now a consensus is being reached about deleting it. This would not have happened had I not prodded you, it is there fore not me who needed assistance but you in concluding what you started. I know very well that requirements and norms between Wikipedias is different, I am a veteran of my native Icelandic Knowledge. Finally, comparing articles is very good reasoning, the standard for articles to be allowed to exist has to be consistent of course, if you can not explain why A is ok but B is not then your argument is arbitrary and weak. Good luck with your further work and if you need any assistance, kindly reach out. --Jabbi (talk) 14:19, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

I have spent some time in the rather small article and analysed/machine translated its sources, removing one from two areas it did not verify, and called for more sources. I have fond the gentleman to be just sufficiently notable to cross the threshold into notability. He has a certain notoriety, too, in the manner that Russian (etc) businessmen who appear suddenly on the scene do.I find the article itself to be of poor quality and lacking in useful sources.

The source you provided isn't rs coverage but I think you need to read this. Knowledge doesn't exist, especially in the context of articles on living people to serve as a takedown of authoritarian or corrupt government. We simply need in depth, independent coverage. If it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist and we cannot make special exceptions to that. BLP is a hardline policy and applies to this discussion as much as it does in the article, so please review those policies before commenting with unsourced speculation about a living persons dealings. CUPIDICAE💕 14:31, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
I am aware of those policies. They nonetheless have a flipside which I think reinforces systemic bias here. Authoritarian regimes limit free media and coverage, which shrouds power in secrecy. There are no allegations in the draft article for a reason, it only contains verifiable facts which has given rise to WP:GNG but also accusation of WP:COI because it's found to not be critical enough. A more in-depth comment by me was removed here where I discuss the possibility (supported by the Lithuanian newspaper source) that Zaytsev might be a wallet (Nick seems to think this is an allegation of criminality). --Jabbi (talk) 15:29, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
It was an allegation and was a BLP violation. That's why I pointed it out. Please read WP:RGW. Combatting bias on Knowledge does not mean ignoring core tenets. CUPIDICAE💕 15:30, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
I am aware of this. The discussion about whether a political figure is a wallet in these regimes is hardly a BLP violation as it is not an accusation of breaking any laws. I am not proposing breaking core tenets, but intepreting them in context. --Jabbi (talk) 15:33, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Speculation about criminal acts are still blp violations unless there are multiple RS reporting on it - in both of the sources you supplied in your revision deleted comment, neither mentioned the subject and even if they had, they don't even discuss what you're saying and the one from Charter97 isn't RS for such a claim in a BLP. I strongly advise you rethink your comments and strategy here because you're still inserting BLP violations after you were warned. CUPIDICAE💕 15:35, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Belarus does not have strong private property laws. Being a wallet in such a country just means you have the favour of the politician. There is no implication of wrongdoing, only lawful collusion seen as corruption in Western countries. --Jabbi (talk) 15:38, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Legality is irrelevant. Insinuating wrongdoing, which you are, repeatedly and without adequate reliable sourcing is still a BLP violation. Stop. I don't know if something is lost in translation but there is no definition in which corruption doesn't imply wrongdoing. CUPIDICAE💕 15:40, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
You should re-read what I wrote "seen as corruption in Western countries". This is a problem of WP:Systemic bias in a nutshell. You want to apply Western values to Belarusian facts. --Jabbi (talk) 15:44, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Which is negative, unsourced BLP violating information. Corruption, by definition, is negative regardless of where in the world it is. Implying someone is corrupt, unsourced in a discussion or in an article violates Knowledge's policies, drop the stick. CUPIDICAE💕 15:45, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Redirect this is clearly a reasonable topic for an article, but none of the content is good. We have one sentence and a bunch of wiki-links; the "examples" listed are arbitrary and don't aid in understanding. Digital evidence better handles the topic now. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:05, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Merge and redirect to digital evidence for now, without prejudice to splitting out into a separate article if the amount of content justifies. I agree with power~enwiki, but more wordily, which is my wont. For now, there's just not enough in this article to justify a separate article. It's just a one-sentence unreferenced definition and an arbitrary list of examples. This would be better-suited as a paragraph in digital evidence, which would help to provide additional context. I recognize that historically, not all video evidence is digital; but the reality is that the vast majority of it today is, and furthermore the most significant evidentiary challenges arise in the digital realm. I have no doubt that the subject of video evidence itself is sufficiently notable to merit its own article if and when it's developed (the Google Scholar link above turns up a lot of articles devoted to the subject), but for now, that separate treatment is not justified; the reader is better served seeing its treatment in context than a one-liner. In the absence of a merge, though, keep is my backup !vote. TJRC (talk) 17:32, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
I can see how you might read it that way, so let me put it another way. Although an article could be written on this topic, and if such an article was written, it would be sufficiently notable to be retained, at present, it is essentially a mere WP:DICDEF. The fact that sources exist that could be used in an article does not mean that dicdefs should be retained, and I don't think WP:NEXIST says otherwise. TJRC (talk) 18:59, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Jing-Jin-Ji or Bohai Economic Rim. So, if the article will be more developed, it can be forked again as a stand-alone article.

Thank you ! In source 3, the middle school geography book,it say the three areas(Beijing-Tianjin-Shijiazhuang, Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou and the Pearl River Delta)lays in Eastern China, where near the sea, the economy is developing fast and so is the transportation condition, they have a good foundation of Industry, and both have big cities, which mains they are rich in well educated labors and first-class universities in the country, so they are developing into three Hi-tech industrial belt in China. Soure4,the government files published by Ministry of Technology in China, says Beijing-Tianjin-Shijiazhuang Industrial Belt should be the center of BER Hi-tech Industrial area, Shanghai should be the center of the Yangtze river Delta and Shenzhen leads the Pearl river Delta, other cities like Wuhan , Chengdu and Xi'an could developed into Hi-tech center in the middle and western China. As a matter of fact, both of the two sources don't say much things based on Beijing- Tianjin -Shijiazhuang only, so what I do is to make a clear and credible explanation of the phrase.Also, as an important Industrial Area in China, the notion deserves to be known by much people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seine River (talkcontribs) 08:07, 28 February 2021 (UTC) See what I found !

The first source is more interesting, because it is written in English, and related to Hi-Tech Zone Developpement in China. However, since I didn't know where to insert these references in this problematic article, I posted it in the older article, since they are good for the two at the same time.--Anas1712 (talk) 21:04, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

I could not find any signifact coverage about this politician. The subject has not been elected as a member in any legislative bodies and fails WP:GNG. The sources provided are mainly covering about the events or activities in which this person was involved with. I also doubt that the article has been written for promotional purpose on going throug the artcle in whole. Also please have a look at this edit by the creator and major contributor of this artcle .

They are mainly about something just some other events and there is only mere mentioning about this person. Also being the president of a students wing of a party does not make some someone inherenty notable. And the article is clearly written for proomotional purpose. Kichu🐘 19:00, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Upon investigation, the vast majority of them are just WP:ROUTINE coverage mentioning someone wore a design by the firm.

This book was nominated for deletion over a year ago with the argument: "The book fails WP:Notability (books). No reviews, no awards. This article's purpose seems to be a veiled attack at BLP subject Marek Jan Chodakiewicz. Most of the article focus is not even about a book but about a controversial interview/lecture by said subject". While the result of the past discussion was "keep", I note most keep votes, came from users now blocked as socks, two of which came from an editor who was indefinitely blocked for (among other transgressions) BLP violations against the book's author. This needs to be revisited due to socking in the past discussions, but besides, I fully agree with User:Piotrus who originally suggested this should be deleted - the book is simply not notable in light of the policies he cited back then.

  • Delete. All I said in my original nom still holds true (the article hasn't change since). This (pretty crappy) book fails WP:NBOOK and GNG. It had no reviews, and the little controversy it generated was about a presentation (author talk), which had the same title. The controversy lasted justs few media days and was forgotten quickly, so it also fails WP:NEVENT. A summary of this incident can and is already present in the biography of the author, there is no need for a spin-off article, which as noted, is little but an attack page created by a now-idenf banned editor (and his socks). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:28, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Fails WP:SOLDIER (SPC with no significant decorations) and lacks SIGCOV in multiple RS to satisfy WP:GNG. The first female Puerto Rican to die in Operation Iraqi Freedom (vehicle accident, not combat) is not notable. Mztourist (talk) 03:54, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

She didn't die in combat, she died in a vehicle accident. The page says "when they had an accident and the vehicle flipped over", so why did you revert my edit and restore the false claim that she died in combat? Mztourist (talk) 05:58, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

So? What is your policy-based argument for keeping this page? There is a big difference between dying in combat and dying in a combat zone. Mztourist (talk) 08:24, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep WP:SOLDIER is an unofficial essay which lacks consensus and so is not a valid reason to delete. It is easy to find sources for the subject such as this book which provides coverage prior to her untimely death, "Typical of the new recruits is Lizbeth Robles. Although not from Hartford , her story exemplifies that of many youth who are. A young Puerto Rican woman from a working-class family, Lizbeth was active in her church, did ..." This demonstrates that WP:BEFORE has not been followed, that the topic has potential per WP:NEXIST and so our policy WP:ATD applies, "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." Andrew🐉(talk) 11:59, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
As you keep making the same comment about SOLDIER I will keep making the same rebuttal, it is MilHist consensus until the discussion closes. Finding one passing reference does not prove that BEFORE hasn't been followed, I did see that in the Books search but didn't regard it as in any way significant. There isn't SIGCOV of her in multiple RS. Mztourist (talk) 15:58, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
  • WP:SOLDIER now states "The notability guidance previously provided by the WP:SOLDIER essay has been deprecated as a result of this discussion. It is no longer considered by WikiProject Military history to be useful guidance on the notability of military people, and its use in deletion discussions is actively discouraged by the project." Q.E.D. Andrew🐉(talk) 16:16, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment Marine 69-71 on Frances M. Vega (died 2 November 2003) you claim that she was "the first female soldier of Puerto Rican descent to have died in a war zone" and here you claim that Robles (died 1 March 2005) was "the first Puerto Rican female soldier to die in combat" so which is it? Vega was on a helicopter that was shot down, which sounds a lot more like combat than Robles who died in a vehicle accident. Mztourist (talk) 16:12, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
    • I assume that "Puerto Rican descent" is different as Frances M. Vega was born in San Francisco, California, went to high school in Puerto Rico, and is buried in Puerto Rico. The article does not appear to describe her family. Durindaljb (talk) 20:14, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Comment - Mztourist you want to know the difference between both female soldiers? 1. SPC Frances M. Vega was born in San Francisco, California and was the first female soldier of Puerto Rican descent to die in a combat zone. A surface-to-air missile was fired by insurgents in Al Fallujah and it hit the U.S. transport helicopter (Chinook) which Vega was in. She was one of 16 soldiers who lost their lives in the crash that followed. 2. SPC Lizbeth Robles was born in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico and was the first female soldier born in Puerto Rico to die in the War on Terrorism. Tony the Marine (talk) 23:13, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Marine 69-71 so the difference is Puerto Rican descent vs born in Puerto Rico? That is about the most tenuous basis for a claim of notability I have ever seen. I realise that you want lots of pages about Puerto Rican "heroes" but this is too much. Mztourist (talk) 02:59, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
That is your opinion. There is a difference since Puerto Ricans have a Puerto Rican citizenship and a limited American citizenship. That it is about the most tenuous basis for a claim of notability that you have ever seen, again that is your opinion. Yes, I have written about Puerto Rican heroes, because they deserve it and I for one am a proud Puerto Rican and American who wants the world to know that we, the Puerto Ricans, as a people have made positive contributions to our nation even it meant sacrificing our lives in doing so. Tony the Marine (talk) 03:12, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Which is fine if WP:GNG is met, but on too many of your pages it clearly isn't. Mztourist (talk) 03:20, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Comment - According to Jorge Mariscal, writing for CounterPunch, "The story of Lizbeth Robles teaches us much about young women in today’s “volunteer” army," including because "Although women are not technically given combat arms occupations, assignments such as that of Robles account for many of the killed and wounded," and "Despite the harsh realities for women in the military, some like Lizbeth Robles decide to make the military their career."

Per WP:RSP, there is currently no consensus on if CounterPunch is a reliable source. TJMSmith (talk) 15:09, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spartaz 06:58, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment The new sources look like more namechecks to me, not unlike what we've seen with other articles recently added to AFD. Nothing that, in my view, meets GNG or establishes notability. In short, nothing that would lead me to change my !vote. Intothatdarkness 14:36, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment per Spartaz's comment in the relist, none of the new sources look to do anything other than list her name. I don't see any new WP:SIGCOV, the only SIGCOV that's been brought up in this conversation by anyone wanting to keep the article is Andrew Davidson's book source and even that is arguable. I am still a firm delete on GNG/NOTMEMORIAL grounds. SportingFlyer T·C 17:36, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment I agree with Intothatdarkness and SportingFlyer, sources are namechecks only which add nothing, page still lacks SIGCOV in multiple RS necessary to pass GNG. Mztourist (talk) 10:20, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

  • The second source profiled over sixty different fallen Puerto Rican soldiers. It's honestly very sad - I read several of them - but I don't see it lending itself to notability. The third source accepts reader submitted articles so has self publication issues. I cannot access the first source apart from the index, but we're still clearly short of WP:GNG as your table shows. SportingFlyer T·C 18:55, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Reply: SportingFlyer, its borderline on sources, the author of the third piece is a Professor of Literature and Chicano Studies at UC San Diego, so I think it carries weight. I don't see why the number of articles written by the second source impacts the source for this subject. I found the first source (can't post it), its borderline, the weakest of the three. You are right the rest are just to puff up the article.  // Timothy :: talk  20:31, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
  • @TimothyBlue: My issue with the second article is that's not discriminate about who it was covering. If she were the only person featured it'd be a very strong source, otherwise it would make ~60 people borderline notable. The third one probably isn't unreliable but it doesn't make it not self-published, especially since it looks like the author cross-posted the link on their blog. It's not enough for me to think this is worth keeping. SportingFlyer T·C 20:40, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
TimothyBlue thanks, but your table clearly shows that there isn't SIGCOV in multiple RS necessary to satisfy GNG. Mztourist (talk)
  • Switch to Delete: Mztourist and SportingFlyer are more right than wrong about the sources, I made the best argument I could (which I knew was a weak one, from my own comments) and returned to see if I had convinced anyone. I thought a rename could deal with WP:BIO1E issue but without the sources, it cannot be overcome. So based on a lack of SIGCOV and 1E, I'll switch to Delete. The keep votes haven't provided anything based in sources and guidelines to work with (other than what I have in the source table above) and don't address the 1E problem. Note to closer: let me know if you'd like me to count the words from the first source (book).
If there is a consensus on a redirect target, I would support a redirect. (comment added 13:33, 14 March 2021 (UTC))  // Timothy :: talk  13:04, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep despite the argument about sources above, cannot see why to delete ratheer than per Andrew rather than improve per wolf due to the notability of her death in combat service, her race, gender make combined case of GNG, cited in them all per The Eloquent Peasant . Alternative the article could be renamed 'the death of Lizbeth Robles' per Tony the Marine and discuss issue of accident versus combat, find sources for decorations. Kaybeesquared (talk) 23:23, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: Considering race and gender in any way as a factor to ignore notability guidelines and lack of sourcingc is by far the worst suggestion I've heard at AfD. // Timothy :: talk  00:19, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment - I voted Keep in the first round and my vote is still keep. I think it's important to keep the article as she was the first Puerto Rican woman to die in a war zone and the Connecticut General Assembly used her in the context of Hispanic-Americans fighting for the US. I added another "new" cite, that she's mentioned when considering the loss of life by Hispanic-American soldiers... "In 2007, the Connecticut General Assembly was reminded that Robles was the first Puerto Rican woman to die in a war zone because "According to the Pew Hispanic Center, while Latinos make up 9.5% of the actively enlisted forces, they are over represented in the categories that get the most dangerous assignments, infantry, gun crews, and seamanship, and make up over 17.5% of the front lines." I added sources that I thought would be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Eloquent Peasant (talkcontribs) 01:42, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
The Eloquent Peasant, IMO, it makes sense to mention Robles and possibly create a redirect to the Military history of Puerto Rico and/or Hispanic and Latino Americans#Military. I haven't seen the in-depth or sustained coverage of Robles I would expect to meet notability requirements for an independent article. I still think this looks like a case of WP:NOTMEMORIAL. TJMSmith (talk) 02:23, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Weak keep, New Zealand has a history of joke political parties in recent decades, see Category:Joke political parties in New Zealand, and this one has lasted for two general elections and increased its number of candidates.-gadfium 02:31, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Delete Clearly fails WP:GNG. KidAd talk 03:07, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Delete Keep: The test for notability (at its simplest) is that there is independent, significant coverage. Most sources in the article are non-independent (from the subject of the article) or are not significant (passing mentions only such as election results). The only two possible signs of notability are the two Stuff articles. However, these only provide scant details about the party. For example, a commenter above described them as a "joke political party", but there isn't even enough information in the articles to determine if that's true, or if the people involved actually take their beliefs seriously. Without significant coverage, this subject doesn't meet the notability requirements. (A side note: the fact that the article was created by a person with a conflict of interest isn't relevant to whether it should be deleted.) HenryCrun15 (talk) 03:59, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Editor IdiotSavant has added a number of new citations, including these three articles. One article is solely devoted to an NAP candidate. I would be comfortable considering these articles to be "significant coverage", and I would ask other editors who voted delete to say if (and why) they feel these three articles do not constitute significant coverage.

  • Comment One of the problems with articles on tiny unregistered political parties with so few references is the lack of independent analysis, which leads to us relying on the party's self-description. This is a major problem here as members of the public who have turned up to local candidate debates have witnessed NAP candidates advocating far-right policies and sounding off with barrages of racial slurs. Their website is made by people with Nazi-like usernames such as "FÜHRER", and contains calls for competing candidates to be euthanised amongst alt-right-style anti-Muslim misinformation. -- haminoon (talk) 05:36, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

  • Keep While this discussion has already had 5 delete and now 4 keep entries, that is not a concensus. This is one of those situations where we risk introducing political bias into Knowledge by omitting a legitimate and notable viewpoint. Keeping or deleting an article should be an objective process, not one that is based on ones own (perhaps unconscious) political bias. Notability is permanent and independent of noteworthy article content. These people have stood multiple candidates in 3 by-elections, a local election, 2 general elections (in 5 electorates in 2020) and their candidates have achieved over 2000 votes in the process. In the next election, voters are going to ask who are these people and what is their history, and, if we delete this one, somebody is going to write a new Knowledge article, and we will go through this process all over again. I think it is far better to keep this existing article that we know than debate about a new article that we don't. Also, given the likelihood of this article being resurrected by the next election, I don't think deletion is the best solution in any case. Retaining this article has other benefits, like providing an excuse to not to have separate biography articles for each person who stands as a candidate for office. Anybody who stands for political office is already halfway notable in any case. Because its politics, I think we need far more than 9 people to achieve a consensus that everyone can agree upon. Please remember this is a consensus debate, and that means an overall agreement, not just a majority vote should decide. As to the article's importance or quality, that is a very different story that should not be a factor in a deletion debate. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 22:27, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment NAP is not a legitimate and notable viewpoint. If you look at the talk page, we have trouble even figuring out what their beliefs are and can barely find references covering it, or find any references covering the party at all.
  • I strongly doubt this article will be revived if it is deleted. They hardly have any media coverage, most of which are trivial mentions, and likely won't in the future. They also don't appear to make any attempt to promote themselves at all.
  • The total number of votes all candidates have gotten does not demonstrate significance. The lowest votes a candidate has gotten is 5 votes (0.11% of the vote) and the highest is 112 votes (0.29% of the vote), both of which are very low. I believe barely anyone will ask themselves who NAP are, let alone know it exists. If people were asking who they were, naturally news outlets would notice and NAP would also be getting press coverage, but they aren't.
  • I don't think this is a decision on political bias. People are assessing it based on WP:GNG, as we should, which it clearly fails to meet. Nexus000 (talk) 23:47, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment in reply If NAP does not hold a legitimate and notable viewpoint then we would have 100% voter turnout in all our elections. Not holding or expressing a viewpoint is a viewpoint and it is notable because a lot of people, perhaps 20% to 50% of the electorate hold it, so don't vote. We don't know why these people don't vote but we know they hold that sort of viewpoint because their votes are missing. this is a Known Unknown. In some respects, NAP are an oxymoron, a political party that is trying not to be one and standing for election in the hope that no-one will vote for them or anybody else. The fact they have set up a website to apparently publicise their cause suggests they are not being as true to the cause as they claim. They are apparently been successful because they have such a low number of votes. Arguing that a low number of votes and lack of media engagement means these people are not notable is displaying a political assumption that you must vote and be reported in the media to be counted. Yet about a quarter of the electorate, in recent times, has not bothered to vote in elections. NAP claim success by not receiving votes, so perhaps everyone who did vote for them misunderstood their claimed lack of policies (aside from the implied one about not wanting to be elected). The fact these people stood in an election makes them halfway notable, the fact they have stood in several seals the deal, they are notable in my view. What they stand for and how many votes they get provides for interesting content as does their website and what limited media reports we have of them not participating in democracy and while that is their right, I don't see Knowledge has the right delete the article about them just because they don't play the game like other people do. While a lack of media coverage makes them harder to produce a good Knowledge article, I think these people are going to continue to stand in elections and only become more notable as a result, in the future. I am happy for this article to be redirected or merged into some other article about New Zealand politics or election results but I don't believe the stand-alone page should be simply be deleted because that would be as if the party never existed. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:13, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment in reply We're going to go in circles if we keep going, but I will say this. You used over 2000 candidate votes overall as an argument for its notability, so I demonstrated why that doesn't mean anything. If we do follow their objective of not getting votes, then we need to use significant media coverage (which is more important) to determine if they are notable, which they fail at.
  • NAP has ran in 12 elections total and as it stands fails to pass basic WP:GNG, so I'm not convinced they will become notable in the future. The possibility of a subject becoming notable in the future is also a weak argument to keep a page as it is.
  • I believe this party is so irrelevant it hardly exists, but if someone feels passionate about maintaining it on Knowledge, they are welcome to create a section on NAP on a relevant page. This page is the most relevant I could find. But as it stands, it is barely covered by reliable media, is barely known by people, has failed to reach the members needed to register as a New Zealand party, and does not meet the standards of WP:GNG for having its own page.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. Unsuccessful candidate for U.S. Senate; per NPOL, simply being an unelected candidate for political office does not automatically confer notability. None of her other roles in life—teacher, real estate investor, city councillor, attorney—have garnered significant coverage either.

Comment Her reported impact on the general election (including the commentary), as well as the national news coverage is what makes this seem not WP:COOKIECUTTER and more than WP:ROUTINE coverage. I did look at other articles to consider whether merger might be feasible, but neither the election article nor Franken's article seem to have a place for her distinctive role. Only adding the bit about her ad being repurposed would lack key context without her article. Beccaynr (talk) 19:19, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Delete. Doesn't meet general notability guidelines. Rondolinda (talk) 23:55, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Delete Political candidates are going to get media coverage during the campaign, but that does not constitute WP:NOTEABLE in and of itself. Failed political candidates are not notable simply because they were in a campaign. There’s nothing else notable here. Go4thProsper (talk) 07:33, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Delete. People do not get Knowledge articles just for standing as candidates in elections they did not win — and Goth4prosper is correct that the existence of some campaign coverage is not in and of itself a "GNG"-based exemption from having to pass WP:NPOL, because every candidate in every election always gets some campaign coverage literally by definition. So the notability test that a candidate has to pass is not "does some campaign coverage exist": it is "does a reason exist why her candidacy should be seen as uniquely significant, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance", but that hasn't been shown here. GNG does not just count the footnotes and keep everyone who happens to surpass an arbitrary number: it tests the sources for the context of what they're covering the person for, and discounts some types of coverage as much less notability-making than some other types of coverage. Bearcat (talk) 23:52, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
Comment The reason why the national news coverage and commentary stood out to me is because the context (MPR, 2008) passes the 'ten year test', e.g. The Case of Al Franken (New Yorker, 2019), The Real Story About The Allegations Against Al Franken (HuffPo, 2019) Beccaynr (talk) 00:14, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
That's more about Franken, to be honest. SportingFlyer T·C 00:24, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
The fact that she happened to run against Al Franken, a decade before the allegations that forced him to resign, doesn't make her enduringly notable. Literally by definition, every candidate who loses every election always lost it to the person who won it — so the fact that she ran against Al Franken doesn't inherently make her more notable than the people who ran against Dianne Feinstein or Claire McCaskill or Roy Blunt or Susan Collins or Cory Booker or Jeff Flake or Thom Tillis. If she had been a key figure in the allegations that led to Franken's resignation, then she might be notable on those grounds — but these sources don't show that, since neither the New Yorker nor HuffPo sources even mention her name at all — but no, she doesn't pass the ten year test just because he resigned ten years after beating her in a primary, if she isn't directly involved in the reasons why he had to resign. Bearcat (talk) 16:06, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
From my view, the connection is that there was national and statewide commentary during the primary and general election due to her highlighting concerns about Franken that about ten years later, had a major political impact, even without her direct involvement. Her role seems more distinct than the typical losing primary candidate, not just because of her reported impact in the general election and national news coverage, but also due to what eventually happened after she made it a notable theme of her campaign. Beccaynr (talk) 16:52, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
If the post-resignation sources don't explicitly state that Priscilla Lord played a meaningful role in Al Franken's resignation (which they clearly don't, because none of them even contain the words "Priscilla Lord" at all), but instead you have to combine the sourcing for what she said about him in 2008 with the sourcing for what happened in 2018 to infer a connection between the two things that the sources haven't already placed on the record for you, then what you're doing runs afoul of our rule against synthesizing sources to reach original research conclusions. Bearcat (talk) 18:57, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
WP:10YT is described as a "thought experiment," e.g. "In ten years will this addition still appear relevant?", and there does not appear to be any requirement for Lord to be directly involved with Franken's eventual resignation - it's just that her role still appears relevant after a primary and general election campaign that also had national and statewide coverage and commentary. I don't necessarily think it is OR or synthesis to suggest that Lord still appears to be relevant due to what eventually happened to Franken's career, e.g. "Not all the people of Minnesota have been taken by surprise by the events of the past three weeks, however. During the election campaign Republicans attempted to turn his old jokes against him, but in vain. The Democrat squeaked home by 312 votes after an eight-month legal battle." (Guardian, 2017) If the thought experiment is about 'relevance,' then there appears to be a basis to suggest that there is relevant encyclopedic content available that supports keeping the article.

It is completely unnecessary for there to be a film series article just because one film got a sequel. To quote from the AfD for A Quiet Place (film series), "such articles are simply consolidations of details from individual film articles. With two films, when comparing details, a reader can go from one article to another easily. With three films, a reader can go from an individual film's article to the film series article to readily see how all three films compare. For a similar comparison, per MOS:FILM#Navigation, we don't have director navboxes if there are only two films because there's no need for that bird's-eye view if there is only one other topic." The relevance of the TV pilot is also exaggerated since it was an unsold pilot. We do not need to set a precedent for having a "film series" article for every film and its sequel.

Mis Favoritas is a Latin music compilation album series by Sony Music initiated in 2010 and issued in the US and in Colombia.

  • Delete per nom. He's not in IMDb as himself, and isn't credited in either version of The Italian Job (which each list a large number of stuntpeople) or Diamonds Are Forever, as claimed in the two obituaries (the only sources; I couldn't find anything else). This is very, very hard to do/suspicious. Heck, this Richard Shepperd got into IMDb just for being thanked in a video short. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:52, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep At Knowledge IMDB is seen as not a reliable source, so on basis of that website an article can’t be deleted. It’s about meeting WP:GNG; coverage in independent reliable sources. The death of the stuntman is in main news sources all over the world. Yes, that’s only shortly about his death, but it says a lot that it is worldwide in the news. Besides of that, there can be found coverage about him; also before his death, for example the BBC made a long interview with him, see here. So meeting GNG. Also an autobiography has been written see here. SportsOlympic (talk) 09:32, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
My point with DB is that in all the 500 films he’s purported to have done, he’s not credited in any of them and not even marked as uncredited on their pages. Rusted AutoParts 10:02, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
At least he can be found here. But still, he is in many secondary sources for being a stuntman, so meeting GNG. If there is any ambiguity, the text can always be adjusted.
Okay but that’s one credit. The sources are claiming he participated in two Bond films and the original Italian Job yet he only has one official credit. The stuntman aspect of his career doesn’t seem to be notable at all. Rusted AutoParts 12:16, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
One credit at IMDB; an unreliable source. And note the sources state he “worked on” the stunts in those films. Not “performing” the stunts. (Might be the reason he is not at IMDB). SportsOlympic (talk) 16:07, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
My point about IMDB is not squashed though. If there’s gonna be a claim he did all these movies and he wasn’t notable enough for credit, then how exactly do we claim he was a stuntman for the movies? Being in articles from regional press prior to death and then some outlets after his death does not immediately equate notability. His stuntman career isn’t that notable, not every stuntman is notable anyway. Not every Guinness record holder has a page. So I do not see the notability. Rusted AutoParts 20:32, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
IMDb gives him four whole "uncredits", three as a stunt driver. That's a far cry from the claimed 500 films (what as, a caterer or delivery boy?). Clarityfiend (talk) 23:37, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
He had several times an multiple hours BBC interview example 1, example 2. Was in an ITV television show see here. Was also in foreign television shows example here. Was named as an important person in many sources, example 3, example 4, example 5. If that is not enough for meeting WP:GNG... SportsOlympic (talk) 14:15, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Comment I've never heard of him, but I've found some some sources that imply notabilty and suggest he was a notable/well known person in the UK. For example, The Sun calls him "stunt legend" 1, The Gloucester Citizen called him a "well-known daredevil" 2 and The Daily Western Press did this article on him in 2015. 3 I think it is fair to argue he meets the GNG. GoldenAgeFan1 (talk) 15:54, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment. He may be a fake, which ironically would make him notable. He's supposedly been in The Guinness Book of World Records for a long time, but he's definitely not in the latest one, and Vic Armstrong claims, also in Guinness, to be the world's most prolific stunt double. Armstrong's credits in IMDb, as both stunt double and coordinator, number only 121, far less than Sheppard's claimed 500. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:30, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • keep The recent obituaries suggest notability. According to reports in the British Newspaper Archive in the 1960s he was a member of a Gloucester stunt motorcyclist group the Motocyclons.

  • Delete coverage is not broad enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:16, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Delete. Zwolle is not a global city for the purposes of securing the "inherent" notability of its city councillors under WP:NPOL, so the notability test he would have to pass to earn inclusion in Knowledge is not just to write that "person is a city councillor who existed and then died, the end" — it would require writing a long, very well-sourced and very substantial article about his political importance, centring on specific things he did in the job, concrete and quantifiable effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. Just having an obituary in the local newspaper upon his death is not, in and of itself, enough. Bearcat (talk) 23:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment. I'm not going to reference this one (too time-consuming) but do want to note that the discussion here concentrates on Kenkhuis's earlier position as a council member (2000–2006). His fame is clearly NOT associated with being councilor but with his 2007–2010 position of "wethouder", the equivalent of deputy mayor. With the mayor, a wethouder is a member of the city executive, not of the council. Later he was the chairman of the Zwolle Municipal Museum, among others. gidonb (talk) 00:46, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
    • An alderman is not exactly a deputy mayor (or locoburgemeester in Dutch), as there are multiple at the same time. It is more like a cabinet member of the municipality (that cabinet is led by the mayor). Zwolle might possibly be large enough for mayors to get an article, but not for aldermen with only local coverage. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 09:18, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
      • A locoburgemeester is a vice-mayor, usually the wethouder who is the regular replacement for the mayor when they are away. The translation alderman for wethouder is confusing because an alderman is most commonly an elected member of the municipal council. A wethouder is NOT a member of the municipal council and is NOT popularly elected. Wethouders are part of the same body as the mayors in NL, the College van B&W. gidonb (talk) 11:15, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
      • For example, Uithoorn. The mayor and his three deputies, ranked in the order that the deputies replace the mayor in their capacity of vice mayors. The council members belong in another body and are elected in general elections on party lists. gidonb (talk) 04:03, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Deputy mayor still isn't an "inherently" notable role that would guarantee him a spot in Knowledge. It's still a local office, which may be more important within Zwolle but doesn't make him any more important or famous to the rest of the world — so even at that level, the notability test still isn't "he existed as an officeholder", and still faces the same burden of sourcing and substance as a regular city councillor. Even actual mayor mayors aren't guaranteed inclusion in Knowledge in the absence of a genuinely substantial and well-sourced article that properly contextualizes their significance, let alone their deputies.

  • Comment The article has 53 sources. @Beland:, are you saying no combination of these sources is adequate for GNG? There are a few GBooks sources as well, for example this. He also seems to be widely recognized among his peers as a curator.--- Possibly (talk) 00:30, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
    I have no particular opinion. This article was flagged with a low readability score, but the Guild of Copy Editors won't touch it if it might be deleted. I needed folks more familiar with the guidelines to render a final decision so either it can be deleted or cleanup can start. -- Beland (talk) 09:19, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep - He is really well known, for decades, particularly in the art-and-technoscience realm...all the way back to E.A.T. as a creative maker and later as a curator. The notability tag on the article (from 2013) is in relation to music only (see tag for details) but he is not known for his music, he's known in the visual arts. Clearly meets WP:GNG Netherzone (talk) 01:26, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep I'll take Netherzone's word for it. --- Possibly (talk) 01:35, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
