Redirect to band's page. This particular album isn't very notable, not enough ample coverage. Citations consist of user-generated reviews and trivial mentions in articles about the band's touring, for the most part. Mooonswimmer 23:41, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Comment Could you point them out? Only two of the articles cited seems to help the album fulfill WP:ALBUM, and I can't really vouch for their reliability. Mooonswimmer 16:50, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment There are at least three reviews: Current ref theDwarf.com.au, ref FasterLouder.com.au and ref The Program. shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:53, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
Ref leads to a seemingly user-generated review by "iain69", who has about 5 reviews on "TheDwarf". How exactly is that significant, reliable coverage? Same goes for the review on FasterLouder. Written by NiteShok, a teenage "contributor" to the site, which is a status easily attained after you create an account on the platform and demonstrate some interest by submitting an application. Not sure about Ref , but it might not be independent coverage, even if it did count as significant. Mooonswimmer 03:01, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
See the user-generated content section within the guidelines for reliable sources. Reviews written by fans and consumers are not reliable, instead we need reviews written by professionals with editorial oversight. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:09, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Star Mississippi 03:16, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to be notable. Couldn't spot any significant coverage. PepperBeast (talk) 23:27, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, Colombia, and New Jersey. PepperBeast (talk) 23:27, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: according to their Facebook page, the band split up in December 2011. Their entire recorded output appears to be the 2006 self-titled debut album mentioned in the article, a second album Sistemas de Cambio in 2010, and an EP Juno in 2011. There doesn't appear to be any other reliable source apart from the AllMusic biography and album review. Note that the article is essentially a word-for-word cut-and paste from the band's biography on their website , so even if this is kept, it has WP:COPYVIO issues. Richard3120 (talk) 15:34, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete Bio on website seems to be copy-pasted from Knowledge (XXG), rather than the other way around, but this is a BLP with no inline citations and a borderline A7. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:12, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete. I A7ed it right at the beginning. Another editor (not finding it to meet A7) PRODded it instead. The author rewrote the article, removing the PROD tag, and then I guess there was no follow-up on the deletion front. But even today a web search shows no signs of notability, only social media and, apart from those, obituaries for at least three people who all had brothers named Earl and Dallas. Largoplazo (talk) 01:07, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: There's definitely more said/written about the band in third-party sources than mentioned in the discussion here. A news piece focused on the band in TV4 Jönköping, a short piece in Vetlanda-Posten ("Earl and Dallas till regionfinal") in 2013, another one in Smålands-Tidningen ("Tar ton i sångkamp") the same year, and then a number of mentions in Swedish newspapers articles which aren't focused on the band. But might still be difficult to build an article on that material. //Julle (talk) 16:42, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete This Hindu article carries a passing mention. This one doesn't even mention his name, as does the Indian Express article. The remaining Hindu article carries a paragraph, most of which is a quote. No other WP:RS readily seen from internet searches; I invite the previous voters to please link to the more than a dozen good profile pieces in reliable sources.

The result was no consensus. Numerically, the "keep" opinions are clearly in the majority, but consensus is determined also by strength of argument, based on applicable policies and guidelines.

In this respect, there are two types of argument on the "keep" side: (a) the footballer has played many international matches (I assume that is what is meant by "caps"), and (b) there is substantial coverage about him in reliable sources. The "delete" side argues that (a) is irrelevant with respect to inclusion, and that (b) is not the case.

With respect to (a), the "delete" side has clearly the stronger case: lengthy community discussions have determined, and codified in inclusion guidelines, that playing matches is an indicator of notability, but not proof of it. I must therefore discount all opinions that make only argument (a).

With respect to (b), I cannot determine consensus, because people disagree (as one may in good faith) about whether what sources we have meet the requirements of WP:GNG. I don't think that I can or should decide this disagreement by "supervote".

As a result, we do not have consensus among those contributors who make arguments based on our community-agreed rules, and accordingly the article is kept by default. A new AfD, preferably one focused only on analyzing the existing sources, remains possible.

No evidence of notability; just database entries Ficaia (talk) 12:32, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

  • He still has to pass WP:GNG regardless of how many national team games he has played in. The stuff.co.nz article is a fairly routine transfer piece that does not count as a WP:SIGCOV. I have no idea how reliable The Ultimate New Zealand Soccer Website is but if it is then that article could count go towards GNG. But more is needed, at least couple of additional significant sources. I did a little search but couldn't really find anything substantial. Alvaldi (talk) 14:10, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Ultimate NZ Soccer is a self published source; I have not been able to identify the author, as their are images of him but no name, suggesting that WP:SME is not met. I've also removed the source from the article, because even if he is a SME, we cannot use self published sources on a BLP. BilledMammal (talk) 17:15, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Ultimate NZ Soccer is the ultimate source for NZ Football and is on the list for WP:FOOTY as the most reliable souce. It is looked after by Jeremy Ruane who is the go to person for NZ football, even by New Zealand Football itself. Published in books by NZF as well as on RSSSF.— NZFC 02:47, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
    • I've removed it from that list. Even if he is a SME, and I think we need further discussion on whether he meets that criteria as I don't believe the situation is as clear as you appear to, his website primarily covers BLP's and since as a SPS it cannot be used on BLP's we should not be encouraging its use. BilledMammal (talk) 03:04, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
The first source Lugnuts cites above is promising, as it actually provides commentary on his games. But the information doesn't seem verifiable. I don't think one source of dubious reliability is good enough. Ficaia (talk) 14:56, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
reply @Alvaldi: Being selected to play for your national team will pass GNG on multiple sources, look the BBC noted him. So get off your high horse and you can perform WP:BEFORE also instead of posting silly asks like above. Govvy (talk) 11:46, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
@Govvy I did search for sources and did not find enough significant coverage for him to pass the general notability guideline, something that all athletes must pass. And despite lots of assertions of notability and claims of a bad nomination and that there WP:MUSTBESOURCES, nobody here has been able to establish any evidence that the subject has enough significant coverage to pass GNG (the BBC bit is a brief mention of him and does not go towards GNG). So it is not a silly question to ask editors to back upp their claims. Alvaldi (talk) 12:06, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep: While not all-encompassing by any means, the New Zealand Herald, a generally reliable source per WP:RSPSS, alone has 250+ results for "Jeff Campbell" on their website, search here. These include overwhelmingly soccer-related articles so we know they're regarding the subject in question. Additionally, a quick and basic Google search also finds various other sources such as this, this, this, this, etc. GauchoDude (talk) 12:43, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
    Which of those articles would you say are the three best? I clicked two of your links; the second one has the most passing of passing mentions, and the third doesn't even have prose concerning Cambell (he's just included in a list of players on the team). No number (not even 250+) of examples like that would not pass GNG. JBL (talk) 13:30, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep: as per above the title is passing notable criteria for a sports person who played in International. Jeni Wolf (talk) 13:39, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep: Surprising nomination of an All White who meets GNG. Schwede66 17:56, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep - another poor nomination; international player with significant coverage, meets GNG, is notable. GiantSnowman 21:13, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep Sorry, what? A player with 16 international caps being AfD'd? If the other nominations are this bad, then perhaps an AfD topic ban is warranted. Number 57 10:49, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete - Most of the sources provided are just passing mentions in articles about games that he played in, even among the several hundred Google results that someone linked. The Ultimate New Zealand Soccer Website might give us one good source, but that's still not enough to meet GNG. I would remind folks that there is no presumed notability for football players, even at the international level. –dlthewave ☎ 15:32, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete - fails WP:GNG as sufficient WP:SIGCOV is not available. I note this statement: A player with 16 international caps being AfD'd? If the other nominations are this bad, then perhaps an AfD topic ban is warranted. The first sentence is flawed, given the consensus to remove WP:NFOOTY, and the second sentence is inappropriate for this location - it should be discussed on the users talk page or at ANI. BilledMammal (talk) 17:08, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep - with 16 international caps, this nomination is absurd, failing WP:BEFORE and completely ignores long-standing consensus. A quick Google search yields GNG coverage such as this. Article needs improving, not deleting. Nfitz (talk) 22:32, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
    • That is one example of significant coverage from a reliable source, but given that we require multiple to keep the article, and that eleven editors before you !voted without finding it, it isn't accurate to say that WP:BEFORE was failed. BilledMammal (talk) 03:08, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
      • I stopped looking after the first - which took seconds. Common sense says that anyone with 16 caps (and 5 goals) for the All Whites is going to be notable. If before fails to find this, then it's pretty clear that the BEFORE was not done properly and that the person doing the nomination has little familiarity about the sport, and shouldn't be editing in this area. It's not like I had to hunt for long - I simply tossed Jeff Campbell "All Whites" into a search engine - and out the hits start coming - despite the very common name. As for multiple sources being required, User:BilledMammal - there's no rule about that - merely a guideline. Are you really suggesting that there won't be a second source? What about the ones that were added to the article after your comment (I haven't looked at them to be honest, or Googled any further since I found the first article in seconds). Nfitz (talk) 04:48, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
        • And yet the eleven editors before you didn't find it. If they couldn't, it's not unreasonable that the nominator did not. As for the other sources, see the source assessment table below.
        And while guidelines like WP:GNG are not policy, they are rules that we should follow outside of rare exceptions. BilledMammal (talk) 05:01, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
        • I can't for a second imagine that 11 editors actually bothered wasting their time looking after such a monumentally poor nomination. If you actually think they all did, I'm concerned about your competence to edit here.
        Guidelines are literally not rules; by definition they provide guidance. If Guidelines were rules, then the Crown would have successfully prosecuted those responsible for the Walkerton Tragedy for what they actually did, rather than for peripheral reasons. In this analogue, we must follow policies, not guidelines. Were there guidelines about football players (there aren't I note) they'd quickly tell us that those with a dozen international caps in a nation with significant reporting about national team activities, would be notable, and that people shouldn't be wasting time with such poor nominations! Nfitz (talk) 05:19, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
        Regardless of what you call them, we follow both policies and guidelines unless there is a strong reason not to - in this case, as there is no overriding policy, and no reason to apply WP:IAR, we follow them.
        And if editors are voting to keep without any reason other than an assumption that such players are notable - an assumption that was recently rejected in an RFC - then that is a larger issue than whether an editor properly followed WP:BEFORE. BilledMammal (talk) 05:41, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
        We don't have to apply IAR for this nomination. GNG is met. My point is that we all know that an All Whites player with a dozen caps is going to end up meeting GNG if we dig long enough. All this process does is wastes everyone's precious time - time that could be better spent improving the project. Nfitz (talk) 15:21, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
      • Though to be honest now I've looked, I don't find any of User:NealeWellington's new references particularly compelling after a quick browse. A simple mention in The Age might confirm a fact, but it doesn't count much to notability - or else anyone run over by a streetcar in Melbourne would have an article. What we need are articles about Campbell in particular. This one isn't the greatest, but it jumped out at me in Google without digging too deep. Nfitz (talk) 05:01, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
        • That source is better than all except the NZ Herald source, but I don't think it amounts to significant coverage by itself - although if we can find a few of that length, combined with the NZ Herald source, would be enough to switch my !vote to keep.
        I've looked into the search you mentioned, but unfortunately couldn't find any additional significant coverage - most are passing mentions, or references to people with a similar name. I did a similar search working through the rest of the teams he played for, but the result was the same. BilledMammal (talk) 05:12, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
          • I disagree, and think it does count for significant coverage. There's certainly other similar shorter articles primarily about him over the decades, such as Gale A84518769, which I'll add to the article. Nfitz (talk) 15:19, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Note enough talk - needs editing. Have started adding his international career - more than enough for notability. Might not complete tonight as many sources are not on line. NealeWellington (talk) 09:15, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep international All White with 16 caps that is clearly sourced.— NZFC 02:47, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

BilledMammal (talk) 05:01, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
I'm puzzled what issue remains, if you agree that the NZ Herald article meets GNG. If you recall WP:SPORTCRIT was revised so that biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. As SPORTCRIT is met, then NSPORTS is met. What's the issue? Nfitz (talk) 05:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
You forgot to include the second sentence of that point, which states Meeting this requirement alone does not indicate notability, but it does indicate that there are likely sufficient sources to merit a stand-alone article. Given the existence of that source, it is worth looking for more, but as a single source does not indicate notability we must delete this article if we cannot find them. BilledMammal (talk) 05:41, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
Amazing how someone who wants to delete all sports articles managed to write a table to claim that a sportsperson isn't notable... Listed things at not reliable sources because they're offline/you don't know thinks about them is bullshit. Which is what this source evaluation is- an attempt to propaganda people into delete votes. It does not accurately depict the sources at all, and should be ignored by the closing admin as pointy. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
Nfitz found an online version of the offline source; it says while budding international Jeff Campbell pipped professional apprentices Chris Killen (Manchester City) and Allan Pearce (Barnsley) to take the young player award. It is not significant coverage. BilledMammal (talk) 16:18, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Note Don't just use All Whites but New Zealand Football and Soccer (was known as soccer back in the day). Found these sources that I'd try add later but I'm on mobile. Stuff, NZ Herald and this possible offline source with the National Library. — NZFC 05:46, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
    • The Stuff source is the one that Nfitz and I were discussing above, and the New Zealand Herald source is primarily focused on his father, not on him. Further, it is the same organization as the one significant source that we have, but WP:GNG requires that the significant coverage come from multiple organizations. The offline source could have something; is anyone able to access it? BilledMammal (talk) 05:50, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
      • I disagree about your conclusion that the Stuff source isn't significant coverage; it's far more than a trivial mention. It's reliable. It's a secondary source independent of it's subject. Nfitz (talk) 15:21, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep as I consider he has sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG and I disagree with BilledMammal's assessment. There was easily enough to expand the article to outline a significant portion of his soccer career, without getting into various off-line publications. What was easy to find points towards there being considerably more information as I have not yet researched the various games he played in or his early soccer background.

  • Keep, clearly passes GNG.--Ortizesp (talk) 20:41, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep - on balance, the sources presented (excluding the usual squad lists and stats repositories) just about meet the GNG in my opinion. The point made above about him not being the main subject of one of the articles is neither here nor there since GNG states that a topic does not need to be the main topic of the source material. That being said, I'm genuinely surprised at the lack of general media coverage for a modern international footballer and I think it shows how lenient the now-defunct NFOOTY guidelines really were. I think this one just scrapes by though. BigDom (talk) 07:05, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
    • Comment to BigDom - when I first saw this AfD, about a week ago, the article was pretty devoid of references. Those that are there now are from a very brief troll through items that are currently available on the internet. Much of Campbell's career sits in the cross over period when the internet was just taking off and will need research at a library level is needed to improve them. There will be a lot more information in the newspapers of the time and books. I'm leaving that up to people with more of an interest in soccar. NealeWellington (talk) 10:45, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
      • Yeah, I've found a couple more refs myself through the Knowledge (XXG) Library which are both more than passing mentions. Have struck the "weak" part of my !vote now, I'm satisfied that he meets the GNG. BigDom (talk) 21:37, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Great, thanks— I agree this qualifies as one in-depth source. Is there a second? — JBL (talk) 16:15, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
See 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 etc. If I lived in New Zealand i am sure I could pop into a local library and search for plenty of articles around both the club and international career of this player. I don't and the i cannot use Papers Past as it only goes up to 1971. The whole 'let's try and prove GNG via internet sources' is flawed Zanoni (talk) 19:36, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
The first link is clearly not in-depth coverage of Jeff, it’s in-depth coverage of his father with a few side comments about the son. It’s clear that this person is the subject of lots of passing mentions; please read WP:THREE to understand what a good answer to my question would look like. JBL (talk) 18:47, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment it's astonishing how poor the keep votes, as a whole, are. I see a half-dozen content-free personal attacks, I see a large amount of pure WP:ILIKEIT garbage, and I see only a couple of attempts to answer the question that needs answering: are there sources that cover this person in-depth? The essay WP:THREE explains how to do this in a way that would be convincing to people who do not accept the premise that every international soccer player ever should have an article in Knowledge (XXG). --JBL (talk) 11:25, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
  • You don't have to reply and complain at everyone that votes a way you dislike- this is clear WP:HOUNDING. There are 32 sources, and seems to meet WP:GNG, no matter how much you shout at and harass people who say it passes GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:12, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Opglabbeek Formation (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

De-prodded with a rationale of "sources may exist". Well, we don't build articles on sources "maybe" existing; we build them on ones that do, and I couldn't find jack shit. Ten Pound Hammer • 21:24, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Given that using Google Scholar and the search terms listed above, I found over 30 - 40 publications potentially related to the Opglabbeek Formation, refutes the idea that this article is a case of WP:SOURCESEXIST as numerous sources do exist if a person uses the correct search terms. I do not understand why I need to compile a list citations, when it is easy enough for a person to find and compile the citations for themselves using Google Scholar and the search terms that I provided. In addition, a person, typically can obtain an usable citation for a source by clicking “ or cite in the botttom line of each entry.
One example of a source is;
Deckers, J. and Matthijs, J., 2017. Middle Paleocene uplift of the Brabant Massif from central Belgium up to the southeast coast of England. Geological Magazine, 154(5), pp.1117-1126.
There are many other papers listed by Google Scholar. However, I have better things that I need to do and can do instead of compiling a list of readily searchable citations that interested parties can accomplish just as easily.
A sigificant source of information is:
Laga, P., Louwye, S., Geets, S. (2001) Paleogene and Neogene lithostratigraphic units (Belgium). Geologica Belgica, 4/1-2:135-152.
In it, a person will find a discussion of the Opglabbeek Formation and numerous sources cited for additional information about it. Paul H. (talk) 19:38, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
Also look at Knowledge (XXG):Wikiproject Geology/Notability. Paul H. (talk) 19:45, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
Otr500 is wrong in claiming that "...Laga, P., Louwye, S., Geets, S. (2001) does not allow that other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. If a person looks at page 138 of the online PDF file of this Open Access peer-reviewed paper at the link provived, a person finds that multiple publications are cited as sources that provide information about the Opglabbeek Formation. The publications cited by Laga et al. (2001) as sources for the section about Opglabbeek Formation are De Geyter snd Laga (1988b), Felder (1975), Felder et al. (1985), Halet (1932a), Marechal (1993), Marliere (1968), Moorkens (1972a, 1972b, 1982), Schmitz and Stainier (1909), Stainier (1931), Steurbaut (1998) and Vincent (1930). Given that the full citations for these source publications are provided in the reference section of Laga et al. (2001), other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from reliable sources and determine if possible plagerism and copyrights violation occurred. The references cited by Laga et al. (2001) as sources for the section about Opglabbeek Formation refute the unnecessarily profane allegation about there being "jack----" available about this formation as being false. These sources refute the "might possibly be a source out there" notion because they demonstrate that there are indeed sources for an wikipedia article available. Unfortunately, I lack access to these publications.
I find it revealing that two of the three the editors, who vote keep have a history of editing Knowledge (XXG) pages about the Earth Sciences, while none of the the editors, who vote delete lack a history history of editing Knowledge (XXG) pages about the Earth Sciences.

Added comments The criteria for nomination are found at Articles for deletion#Before nominating: checks and alternatives. "D #3" list the requirements. "IF" a search does not produce evidence then an article can be nominated. Those that wish to keep need to show evidence not "many other papers listed by Google Scholar". If we didn't find them then show them. Also, even at that, an examination of sources may still give evidence that they are lacking.
We have editors !voting keep because they like it. One editor has better things to do than to attempt to actually present evidence to keep the article. Another found "30 - 40 publications potentially related". There is constantly a battle that some believe that as long as there might possibly be a source out there (somewhere in the universe) that it is alright to ignore notability and sourcing policies and guidelines.
An editor created this article, Heers Formation, Hannut Formation, Dongen Formation, and Tienen Formation (maybe others) that is sourced from the same source and in some cases two sources that include one of the same authors, and very likely future "Member" articles (see: Hannut Formation#Lithologies and Dongen Formation#Lithology and stratigraphy and possibly others), and this is fantastic. It should be noted that when contested "Responsibility for providing citations" (Burden) should be followed. Why not include sources such as with Houthem Formation even if listed in the wrong section. At the very least sourcing will prevent possible future AFD's because others "may" be concerned with notability and original research issues. -- Otr500 (talk) 13:01, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Comments: I am glad this was added to the laundry list above. I thought the long list of sources might be a horrible attempt at refbombing by Zvonko. when I see this that only has Dragan Bjelogrlic for the film "Montevideo, see you" 10 million and Milan Todorovic for "Mamula" 4,800,000 dinars. When I assume on good faith that there is "a ton of coverage in reliable sources", I am not impressed with some very passing mention of a movie receiving financing on a site that gives more prominence to the lingerie ad and cost to buy. I had no desire to dig through more junk in hopes of finding something. Since IMDb is not a reliable source and Rotten Tomatoes only provides A carefree Mediterranean vacation turns into a fight for survival when two women discover a deadly mermaid's watery lair beneath an abandoned military fortress., that is in the "External links" section, maybe someone would like to add a HEY and provide some actual sourcing. -- Otr500 (talk) 13:39, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

WP:BLP of an appointed city-level bureaucrat and former borough councillor, not reliably sourced as the subject of enough coverage to pass WP:NPOL #2.
The role she currently holds is not an "inherently" notable one that would automatically guarantee a Knowledge (XXG) article just because she exists, and neither is her prior role as a borough councillor -- at these levels of office, the rule is not "automatically notable because they exist", but "must be the subject of a significant volume of media coverage to establish that they have some nationalized significance".
But that's not what the sourcing here is: of the eleven footnotes, seven are primary sources (government or business databases, raw tables of election results, content self-published by her own employer, her own LinkedIn and Twitter, etc.) that are not support for notability at all; one is a blog; one is a community hyperlocal piece that isn't about her, but just glancingly namechecks her existence in an article whose primary subject is her predecessor; and one is a piece of her own bylined writing (and thus she isn't its subject.)
There's only one footnote (BBC) that counts as valid support for notability at all, and that's not enough. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have a lot more than just one WP:GNG-worthy source.
(Note: the first discussion was also about her, but this doesn't qualify for immediate speedy as a recreation of deleted content -- even though it isn't really a strong notability claim, "director of the violence reduction unit" is still new content that wasn't true at all yet at the time of the first discussion.)

  • Keep There are significant articles about her in The Guardian, the BBC, and other London sources. She is named in dozens of Guardian articles - many by virtue of her political position, but as London is a major city serving in a visible position there is notable. The position of Director of the Violence Reduction Unit for London is more than just a "local politician". Lamona (talk) 01:05, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
Forensics: The BBC reference is a straight-forward and simple report about filling the position of Violence Reduction Unit chief and the article's focus is on the choice of the mayor (who also gets the photo), with details about how his choice was criticized. And the Guardian articles are not about our subject. The first is about Steve Reed resigning as Lambeth council leader, accompanied by Reed's photo, the second is a report on Peck describing the new "police stop-and-search" tactic (just barely but fairly about our subject), and the third one is actually a rather old report about the PM's suggestion that Clapham fire station should be closed - the Lambeth Council leader, i.e. Peck, expresses the council's objection. And these are the best ones. -The Gnome (talk) 15:55, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
I don't see how an article that is entirely about her appointment (BBC) and that quotes her extensively is "only about the mayor". There are many guardian articles beyond those in this WP article, all about her work as a politician. None are "biographies" of her but the total adds up to a political person with accomplishments. As per NPOL: "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage." I definitely consider this significant press coverage, and that's just in the Guardian - I don't have easy access to other UK papers. Lamona (talk) 17:39, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
If you peruse in detail that "significant coverage" you'll see that it's about some other issue and not about our subject. We have been through this so many times. One thousand newspaper articles about company XYZ Ltd, all mentioning me as the financial manager of the company, do not add up to some sort of cumulative proof of my own, personal notability. -The Gnome (talk) 18:32, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Comments: Why would we want non-biographical sources for a biography of a living person? I see; if you add them all together ("all about her work as a politician. None are "biographies" of her but the total adds up..."), they equal biographical coverage. If we omit the biographical information we absolutely have a resume. There is already a "LinkedIn Profile" in the sources so an encyclopedia resume along with LinkedIn is all that is needed for a future job application. NPOL gives the presumption of notability not a guarantee. Otr500 (talk) 18:45, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Neither of those meet WP:ORGCRITE. Organizations require "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" "with a stronger emphasis on quality of the sources" than just GNG. Mvqr (talk) 10:37, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Unless blatantly obvious, I'm assuming all the sources are reliable and the publishers are corporately independent from the topic organization - but there's more requirements than just "RS" for establishing notability.
  • The topic is a company therefore we require references that discuss the *company* in detail. "Lots of product reviews" is not sufficient for establishing notability of a company.
  • As per WP:SIRS *each* reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability - the quantity of coverage is irrelevant so long as we find a minimum of two
  • 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. This is usually the criteria where most references fail. References cannot rely only on information provided by the company, quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews fail ORGIND. Whatever is left over must also meet CORPDEPTH.
An analysis of references follows:
  • This from Arab News is an announcement by the Egyptian government with four sentences in total, one of which was provided by "the companies" and two by the Egyptian Prime Minister. There is no in-depth information about the company by a person not affiliated with the company, fails ORGIND.
  • This from the State Information Service reports on a discussion between the Egyptian PM and the CEO of the topic company, fails ORGIND for the same reasons
  • This from La Opinion is a regurgitated press release/announcement by Coagronorte, a customer/partner of the topic company and therefore not unaffiliated. Its effectively a promotional customer testimonial. Also, it provides no in-depth information on the *company*, fails both ORGIND and CORPDEPTH
  • This from Newport Orthopedic Institute is a profile for an orthopedic surgeon who helped found the company. It is a primary source with a mere mention-in-passing of the topic company, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from Zawya is a Press Release. It is marked as such. Fails ORGIND.
  • This from Fast Company is a mere mention in a list of innovation-by-design companies. It is not a notable competition/prize and the topic company isn't even a finalist but an honorable mention (along with 6 other companies), fails CORPDEPTH.
  • This from dostor.org reports on a meeting between the CEO of the topic company and the Egyprian PM. It is a mention-in-passing and contains no in-depth info on the company. Fails CORPDEPTH.
None of the references meet our criteria for establishing notability. Topic therefore fails WP:NCORP. HighKing 16:27, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Reason Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 16:28, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

I can't find any independent, reliable sources for this magazine to establish notability. Though it was created in the 90's and may have had some news mentions at that time, I cannot find them online. This publication should be held to the same standard of notability as any other publication, and have mentions somewhere in reliable sources. Otherwise, I believe it should be deleted.

The result was no consensus. and I will note upfront that the clear SPA's input has been disregarded as have been claims of article popularity, which is to be expected with the canvassing. What remains though is no consensus and policy-based arguments from established editors on both sides of the debate and I don't see a relist bringing on anything settled. While the current coverage has stemmed largely from his being potentially detained, with sourcing covering him as an author, we're out of BLP1E territory.

This article has been deleted before. Lira doesn't seem notable at all. He's a dating coach and YouTuber who spent some time in Ukraine, and recently has been talked about in fringe circles because of his alleged disappearance. The sourcing is very weak. It seems to me that he doesn't even deserve a mention in any of the articles, let alone to have his own separate article. BeŻet (talk) 16:05, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Keep- He is a notable person due to the recent coverage he has presented on the Ukrainian/Russia conflict. His reach has been quite large particularly on his telegram and other channels. Even if we disagree with the perspective taken, we should be neutral and acknowledge his contribution to the media space.

Anyway, what matters here is across-the-board multinational coverage in a significant number of independent reliable sources including CNN and Newsweek There is enough here to pass GNG per WP:BASIC. Being covered by trustworthy independent newspapers is more than sufficient for notability. Also, I suspect it will be reported shortly what happened to him since his dissaperance - GizzyCatBella🍁 22:27, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
About CNN: you linked an archived URL. Where is the original article? Retracted articles can not be used to establish notability. About Newsweek: 1) see WP:NEWSWEEK. Post-2013 Newsweek articles are not generally reliable. So it also can not be used to establish notability. 2) The Newsweek article is a summary and translation of content from Russia's state TV Channel One. "Being covered by trustworthy independent newspapers is more than sufficient for notability." What newspapers? The deleted CNN article and WP:NEWSWEEK that translated the content from Russian state media? Renat 12:30, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Keep this person is very notable in circles which do not support the west's participation in the war taking place in Ukraine - User:BeŻet refers to that circle derisively as "fringe circles". The circle is certainly against the majority opinion in the west but that does not mean it should be ignored. Mr Lira is a notable political dissident and opinion former, along with outlets such as The Duran, Alex Christoforous, Alexander Mercouris, iEarlGrey, Patrick Lancaster, etc. all dissident voices, broadly advocating the surrender of Zelensky as the rational action for Ukraine to take, thereby saving the lives of innocent Ukrainian people. The circle - espousing political realism - views the victory of Russia (a nuclear power) as inevitable, and therefore resistance to the last Ukrainian life as irrational and inhumane. The mainstream media and mainstream press do not in general cover the viewpoints of western persons who do not support the west's participation in the war taking place in Ukraine, thus it would not be possible to quote sources from the mainstream press, which is generally acting as a cheerleader for the west's participation in the war, albeit ostensibly behind the scenes, in supplying weapons, funding, training, etc. The western press is in fact actively suppressing viewpoints such as expressed by Mr Lira, and deeming anyone who expresses support or sympathy for Putin's position as "Putin's puppets", "Pro-Putin shill", "propagandist", etc. and other derogatory appellations. (Note: the West is not at war with Russia/war has not been declared, so why should western citizens not be allowed to support Putin / Putin's position ? We should be free to argue for either side in a foreign war, as we deem fit, without suffering insults). There are few more notable voices in this political circle than Mr Lira. The article should thus be kept.212.104.155.43 (talk) 17:19, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep A deletion discussion from 8 years ago has little to no bearing on the condition of the present article. This is not an article about a dating coach, the same way Rolando Santiz is not an article about a volunteer firefighter. While the books and films from the subject's past might not necessarily have established notability in and of themselves, we now have the Daily Beast as a reliable, independent source giving us significant in-depth coverage of this subject, to the point that almost no effort is required to write a comprehensive biography. The subject's disappearance from the location of a war he was reporting on, under the foggy conditions of a conflict with worldwide implications, only adds to the notoriety. Controversial is not equal to not notable. Havradim leaf a message 17:22, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Ironically, it was the nominator who pointed to an in-depth source, and not you at all. You've pointed to exactly 1 more source since, but that in fact is, yet again, all about how things about the person are currently unknown, and does not provide in-depth biographical information about this person, explicitly using the word "desconoce" indeed. Your vague handwaves at search engines are not actual source citations, note. If you want to bring in sources, cite them. Search engine pages are not source citations. Find a 2nd source that does not document not knowing things, but that documents this person's life and work in depth, and cite it. The nominator is doing a better job of finding and actually citing sources in this discussion than you are, and the irony is that xe's the one that wants the article deleted. Uncle G (talk) 20:16, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

                • When my comment says how many sources are in this discussion, I base it on the number of sources in this discussion. Do you have a 2nd in-depth independent source to cite? The logical thing to do at this point is to cite one. Avoiding doing so indicates that in fact you do not have more than just that 1 source. Uncle G (talk) 02:45, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Hell, Knowledge (XXG) even has articles on persons whose only reason for being publicly known is having been kidnapped. Any journalist who is noteworthy enough to be kidnapped by a government is noteworthy enough to have an article about. Sarrotrkux (talk) 22:18, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
    • Given that the sources being proffered here, ironically as evidence of notability, say that this is not a known fact, and that indeed that there aren't known facts, this is clearly a fallacious rationale. Notability involves the person's life and work being documented in depth by multiple sources with good reputations for fact checking and accuracy that are independent of the subject. Ironically, the only person offering anything like such a source so far is the person who wants the article deleted. Even the people challenged on this have not yet actually risen to the challenge of citing a 2nd in-depth independent good biographical source, and not just news reports from recent days not documenting things about this person's life and work, and in fact saying little more than that facts about this person are not known. A biography, from a place other than the Daily Beast, that is on point, in depth, properly fact checked, and not autobiography. This should be easy to provide if the world has in fact considered this person notable enough to document xyr life and work in depth. No amount of argument about other articles is going to cut the mustard, nor is argument about fame and importance (a criterion that was rejected back in 2004). Sources! Sources! Sources!

  • Keep Whether we agree with his views or not, he is a known individual on the social media, especially on YouTube and other social media networks. If the article is not well sourced, the challenge is to find those "acceptable" sources, that focus on individuals who are prominent in the social media. That the Daily Beast reserves so much criticism for him, gives hint of his impact -- again, whatever one thinks of his views. Knowledge (XXG) needs to agnostic in terms of whom it covers. It's only that way that more in cyberspace would find it a useful source of information regardless of the ideological stance of who is being cover. Views critical of him can also be raised here.

The fact that half the article appears to be some sort of strange conspiracy theory (in line with his "Zelensky is a fascist cokehead" comments), and relies on basically one source, the Daily Beast, to establish notability, makes me think that this article would be better off deleted. Almost all sources appear to be in Spanish and contain little actual information or else from small, English-language outlets that operate in countries where the main language is not English. Not coincidentally, these are places where Russian misinformation often thrives. If mainstream sources either debunk or confirm Lira's "detention" - or if the Ukrainian government chooses to comment on it, for instance - than we can revisit notability.--Ermenrich (talk) 13:22, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
    • 🙂 The article drew thousands and thousands of views within 5 days of it's existence. This page alone lured over two thousand views and a heated dispute.

      • The reality is that you are asserting fame and importance and repeatedly sidestepping doing the one simple thing that would actually and easily make your case, because they always do. Fame and importance were soundly rejected by Knowledge (XXG), for very good reasons, at Knowledge (XXG):fame and importance almost two decades ago. You've been challenged to provide a second in-depth good, independent, biographical source documenting this person's life and works, necessary for notability but even were that not the case necessary because some people are of the view that the Daily Beast is not an adequate source for biographical information on its own without another good source to back it up. You keep avoiding that challenge, which keeps telling people that actually you do not have such a source, and that the idea here is to base a Knowledge (XXG) biography solely on the Daily Beast as the primary source of biographical information. That's very poor editorial standards that you are demonstrating. As I said, even the nominator managed to cite more in-depth sources than you have. Take heed of how Jahaza makes a case, it is very different to the zero-effort way that you have been, and it works, where your "But xe's famous!" one does not. Sources! Sources! Sources! Uncle G (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete the idea that page views make him notable somehow is laughable but the fact is that he has almost no meaningful coverage in mainstream sources - if we removed all of the self sourced content here, we'd be left with maybe 3 sentences, none of which are particularly compelling as a case of notability.

I say very weakly because I am not sure he made a significant body of work as an author, although he was, when published (many years ago), the subject of several independent periodical articles in Chile, and probably in the US but I cannot attest to that. If the only element to judge Lira's notability was their involvement in Ukraine, I would have surely stick to my delete vote. He certainly does not merit an article on that basis alone. --Bedivere (talk) 04:08, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Weak delete - There are some decent sources, but for edge cases when it comes to notability when WP:BLP and WP:FRINGE are in play, it becomes tricky to decide when we should have a stand-alone article. It's admittedly on the line, with articles like DB (which, right, let's not bother citing RSP, since it provides no guidance on this subject) and El Mercurio, but I think I fall just on the delete side of things. As an aside, the articles provided above from India Today and CNN Chile are surprisingly thin/questionable. From a look at RSN archives, I see India Today is best divided between magazine content and television/web content. Not sure about the various CNN editions. — Rhododendrites \\ 22:14, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep this !vote has nothing to do with recent events in Ukraine, but rather that he's achieved sufficient attention as a writer in the 90's and early 2000's. The Chilean National Library has an extensive archive of about 40 Spanish clippings on his work. In English, his novels also attracted some reviews in English in Kirkus, Publishers Weekly(as well as a short article about the aquistion of his first novel, something that was also picked up by the literary blog Grub Street and by Writer's Digest), Library Journal, Booklist, a short review in the Rocky Mountain News, and Magill's Book Reviews. The acquisition deal also got a couple of paragraphs in this LA Times column. The movie rights got the usual routine coverage in Variety and Hollywood Reporter. There's some Latin American UPI coverage of one of his films from 2005 (just an example). An entry in Guide to Literary Masters & Their Works.--Jahaza (talk) 22:40, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
    • Also, his novels, originally published in English and Spanish, were translated into French, German, and Dutch at least as can be seen from copies still available for sale. There should be at least a few reviews in those languages, but you'd need access to the right databases.Jahaza (talk) 22:43, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
    • It may or may not have clippings, but instead of citing them you've waved at a search engine result page, which comes up "No se entregaron términos de búsqueda" for other people. Uncle G (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
      See my comment below directly linking to many of them. Jahaza (talk) 07:49, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep per Jahaza. A million-dollar advance for a novel in an editor's slush pile seems like a pretty big claim to notability. The Ukraine and YouTube stuff is probably trivial (though maintaining balance on his bio is likely to be a challenge) but as a novelist he seems notable. Guettarda (talk) 22:53, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
    • Notability needs to be shown by reliable sources, not just claimed. Actually, the references Jahaza shows rather prove the lack of notability. 30 years of claiming to be a writer, and these short references, mainly (but not exclusively) from rather unknown sources. All it shows is that in the 90s he may have had some potential to become a writer, but never made it to fame. It's the equivalent of some young football player getting to do a test for a big club in his tens but never making it as a footballer. Jeppiz (talk) 23:18, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
      • Please read WP:AUTHOR #3 and look at the clip file from Chile, which contains a number of substantial articles. Furthermore, Library Journal, Booklist, Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus are hardly unknown sources. These are major American publishing institutions.--Jahaza (talk) 23:28, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
      • Yes, of course, but it's a claim to notability that's supported by RSs. As Jahaza mentioned, there's an extensive archive of clippings from the Chilean National Library. I picked a few clippings - a profile from Las Últimas Noticias, another from La Tercera. These are national newspapers, the kind of thing we regularly accept as RSs. Similarly, Kirkus Reviews and Publishers Weekly are not just reliable, but fairly important sources. I can't find anything about Guide to Literary Masters & Their Works but the Rosemary M. Canfield Reisman seems like an expert on this kind of things, and the work is archived by Ebscohost. Guettarda (talk) 23:38, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
        • Sorry Jahaza, but #3 of WP:AUTHOR is a strong argument against this individual, not for him. The point you referred to says that "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work." There is no indication of that. Your list of references shows he has written a bit, but nothing to suggest his writings are remotely close to "significant or well-known work or collective body of work". Quite the opposite; 25 years has passed since he tried to become an author, and these few notices are all that can be found. That is a very strong that it is not a "well-known" body of work. As per WP:AUTHOR, this person cannot count as a notable author. Jeppiz (talk) 00:12, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
          • When someone has made more than a million dollars as a novelist, published three novels, had them reviewed in national periodicals, and had them translated into several languages, it's kind of odd to write that they "tried to become an author". It seems that they did become an author for a time. "25 years has passed since he tried to become an author" he doesn't have to be the subject of ongoing coverage it's sufficient that he was at one time the subject of significant coverage WP:NTEMP. The Spanish language coverage in Chile is substantial. Is it odd that this is not what's drawn attention to him now? Sure, but that doesn't mean that what he did then wasn't notable. It's kind of the opposite of Knowledge (XXG):Articles_for_deletion/Boris_Maciejovsky, which is rightfully on its way to deletion, due to their being no coverage of the person's work. In both cases, the current news hook wouldn't justify an article. Your judgment about what is significant coverage is idiosyncratic when Chilean national newspaper profiles and eight national periodical reviews in English are a few mainly unknown sources. For your argument to be credible you at least need to realize that you erred about these sources being unreliable and unknown. --Jahaza (talk) 04:04, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
            • @Jeppiz those Chilean sources are as reputable as the others shown by Jahaza. That is not a claim, it is a fact that Lira was covered by multiple independent sources back in the day. I am still not sure how his work can be considered "significant", though. I think he passes WP:NAUTHOR #3 very weakly. It's obvious he didn't continue a career as an author but that doesn't mean we should forgo these details (and sources). Bedivere (talk) 04:12, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
              • People, this is easy if done right. Ignore the bloody NAUTHOR criteria. This is a biography. Do the sources document the person's life and work in depth? Are they independent of the subject, and not (say) recycled press releases? Are they from people from good reputations for fact checking and accuracy? If this is so, they can be used to write this biography in accordance with our Neutral point of view, Verifiability, and No original research content policies and the biography is possible. If not, then the 1 source with biographical information is the Daily Beast and a biography is impossible, simply because our minimum safe level of sourcing is more than 1 in-depth biographical source. I pointed out that the right thing to do is cite sources, right at the start of this discussion. No-one has yet cited any of these Chilean sources. We have an external hyperlink to a search engine that says "No se entregaron términos de búsqueda", not source citations. Uncle G (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
                • Well, the link worked for me and for Guettarda, sorry it didn't work for you. I'm not sure why you couldn't just enter the name into the catalogue yourself to find the articles? Here are direct links for 17 of them:
                • I'd also note that since these articles span 1997-2005, they should help allay some "one event" fears.-- Jahaza (talk) 07:46, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
                  • You see? I told you that it's easy when done right. Always do it that way, from the get-go. It's not other people's responsibility to follow vague handwaves at search engines. It's the responsibility of the people using the search engines to read what they turn up, evaluate it, and cite it. This is how you make a case. Not with handwaves, not with (bogus) result counts (which Google and the like just make up), not with long-rejected fame and importance arguments, not with page views. It's all about sources. Find them, read them, evaluate them, cite them. These are fundamental things for Wikipedians everywhere in the encyclopaedia, and it shouldn't be like pulling teeth to get them done. The person who wanted to delete the article did this straightaway. The people who want to keep the article should do no less, but I've had to spend a week trying to get anyone to do so. Add up how long it takes you to do the search, read the sources, find a good one and cite it. In fact, read the sources that you've cited, tell us which documents this person's life as well as xyr book release, and time how long it took you. Think about how short a time that is compared to the week that this has gone without a good counterargument, that left unchecked would have led to a strong deletion argument based upon deletion policy that we do not base biographies on only 1 article in the Daily Beast. Uncle G (talk) 08:56, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
                    • @Bedivere and @Jahaza, I really don't think that that shows what you say it shows. Yes, he has been the subject of a few articles and thanks for showing that. To take an easy example, myself, I've been the subject of more articles than that, and in somewhat more notable sources. There is not WP article on me, nor do I think there should be, because I am not notable, despite more media coverage than that. There must be thousands of people with at least that amount of media coverage who are not notable in any way. Jeppiz (talk) 09:24, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
                      • You, in turn, are missing that this is after 1 in-depth source has already been given. By the nominator. These aren't the only sources. These are the further sources, covering aspects of the person that clearly the Daily Beast does not. We now have, after a week, reviews of the early works, some things about the later works, the Daily Beast documenting (well or not, a subject for discussion) the recent part of the subject's life, and other sources documenting the earlier parts of the subject's life. And the people who want to keep the article at last get to argue based in deletion policy that there's scope for expansion to an actual biography beyond what the 1 Daily Beast article would give. The challenge to that is not "I'm equally as un-famous as this person is!". That's the rejected fame and importance criteria in action, too. The challenge to that is the provenances, separateness, independence, and depths of the sources. How much of that Elle piece is actually autobiography, for example? It was Jahaza's burden to read and cite the sources, but it's now your burden to read them, too. Uncle G (talk) 10:09, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
                        • We disagree there. I respect you think that these sources show notability, but my point is that that seems to be quite a stretch of WP's definition of notability. I did look at the sources. If we decide to keep the article, it would then need to reflect the sources. The Daily Beast, if you read, describes the subject as a "sleazy dating coach" and Putin-shill". Surely that needs to go into the article, if we think that the same article is what provides notability. Similarly, lots seem to be made here of his authorship (un-notable though I think it is), but almost the entire article is about his alleged adventures in Ukraine. So I still don't think notability is established (but of course respect you and others disagreeing), but at least we cannot argue for notability based on some sources, but then pass over those sources in the article.

  • It burns my mind when I think about the fact that one so not notable someone generates so much attention here... 😉 - GizzyCatBella🍁 07:56, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
    • @GizzyCatBella, you have made that point around ten times in this same discussion now. You're free to hold that voew, but to repeat it time and time again starts to come off as disruptive or trying to make a WP:POINT and it's time to stop it now. We get it, you think that page views are a sign of notability (even when a minor influencer can use social media to direct views). Lots of us disagree. Nothing wrong with your opinion, but you've stated it over and over again by now, we know what you think and you don't need to keep repeat the same point. Jeppiz (talk) 09:29, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
      Got it. I don’t have much experience with bloggers but that’s what strikes me the most. - GizzyCatBella🍁 09:36, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment, FYI the article has been created in 8 languages on Knowledge (XXG): arabic, german, spanish, italian, japanese, russian, serbian, english.--Mhorg (talk) 08:08, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
    • @Mhorg - how many views has the article generated in 7 days as of today? 58,000 and counting 🙂 ? I seriously do not understand editors disputing the notability of that fella. But well, I might be mistaken. Maybe Lira is going to be shortly forgotten after all dust settles - GizzyCatBella🍁 08:23, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
    • @Mhorg and @GizzyCatBella, the fact there appears to be off-wiki canvassing, with the subject himself referring his followers to his Knowledge (XXG) article, of course meands that there will be some interest. That doesn't mean there's notability. Any vlogger with even a very modest following (for vloggers) can of course temporarily direct his followers to a WP article. Jeppiz (talk) 09:19, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
      The ANI thread seems to be having a similar effect (though that was presumably not the intention) as well, with regular editors coming in and making comments without reading through the entire debate.--Jahaza (talk) 18:11, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete: Wade through all the canvassing and fringe hits, and this is a WP:ONEEVENT issue, nothing more ... and frankly, a spurious event, if the subject himself is whipping up a self-promotional frenzy on his behalf off-Wiki. I'm unimpressed with that his books turn up as Google hits, or that it has been found that some of them are part of a national library's collection. The same can be said of MY published works, some of which are in the collection of the Library of Congress, and I sure as hell don't qualify for a Knowledge (XXG) article. Ravenswing 10:41, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
    I'm afraid you've misunderstood the part about the Chilean National Library. It's not that his books are there (I don't even know if they are), but that they had a file of press clippings from Chilean newspapers about his work (now extensively described above).--Jahaza (talk) 18:07, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep Sources in the article already cited seem sufficient to me to pass WP:GNG. --Jayron32 12:00, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete low-quality sources, press releases, etc... At best, there's a barely-there Daily Beast cite, but then we're still at WP:ONEEVENT. ValarianB (talk) 12:04, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
    It's not the sources that are in the article that are the concern, but the sources that have been demonstrated to be available. That includes extensive coverage of him as a novelist in high quality Chilean newspapers as well as in reputable American periodicals.--Jahaza (talk) 18:09, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
    • No. It's a bit disrespectful to others to keep repeating this as if we hadn't seen the sources. We have. I think you did a good job finding them, and I respect that. I have read them. They do not show sufficient support for notability. They are mainly very old articles from a time when it was thought the subject might make it as an author. With hindsight, we can say categorigaclly that he didn't. The story seems to be that he got paid handsomely for a book contract in the 90s, and that's what much of the press articles are about, but the book flopped and he never had his breakthrough as an author. He certainly didn't produce the "significant body of work" that WP:AUTHOR requires. Let's put it this way: If he really had been a notable person, would it be necessary to rely on some media articles from the 90s? Jeppiz (talk) 19:07, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
      That you have seen the sources doesn't mean that other people have, especially when they make comments like saying that this is WP:ONEEVENT based on the Daily Beast article about his alleged kidnaping when there are clearly articles that have nothing to do with the kidnapping. He might still not be notable, but not because there's only one article about one event. Meanwhile, it's a discussion and we get to discuss. You've made plenty of posts of your own to the page.--Jahaza (talk) 20:20, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
      I echo Jeppiz; you have made your statement, and it's poor practice to seek to rebut every single Delete proponent. Like Jeppiz, I read the sources. Like Jeppiz, I find them to be casual, ephemeral mentions without any there there. Kindly accept that we, and many other editors who've made their opinions known above, do not agree with you. Ravenswing 19:14, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
      It's fine if you disagree and think that the sources don't show notability. It's confusing if someone says the only source is a Daily Beast article or when you claim that someone's argument was that his books are in the Chilean National Library, when they didn't. We write articles all the time about people who are long dead based on old articles about their work.--Jahaza (talk) 20:17, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
      @Jahaza, sorry if I was unclear, you're of course more than welcome to post (not that you need my permission). More than that, you've contributed nicely to the discussion. I merely meant that the argument of us not being aware of the sources isn't accurate. If I can correct one point above, though: we do write articles about people who are long dead, but not based on only a few very old articles. While Napoleon, Caesar, Shakespeare or Ramses are all long dead, it's no problem finding plenty of modern sources for them. The issue here is exactly that we don't find such sources for the subject. Had he been notable, there would have been at least some sources from the last five or ten years. It's exactly that absence of sources that makes me conclude he is not notable (outside his circle of followers). Jeppiz (talk) 21:12, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep. I was leaning delete due to WP:1E, but there are two Spanish language sources "Gonzalo Lira: "Escribir no es ningún misterio"" and "El Hombre del Millon de Dolares" that appear to meet WP:GNG and mean that WP:1E does not apply. I couldn't read them, so I asked Ixtal to do so and they were kind enough to help out:
The first link is most definitely significant and would indicate notability by itself in my opinion. The pdf is from an article in El Mercurio, Chile's top newspaper (see digital reference backing this up in the Chilean national digital archive of the article). Both are interviews of the ones you'd expect of major literary figures, so while the biographical information may not be entirely independent, they to me indicate notability. The Chilean national digital library has 24 articles on him which altogether confirms that. Hope this helps, BilledMammal! — Ixtal ⁂ (talk) 16:49, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
BilledMammal (talk) 21:33, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but those articles are almost all from 1998 and are about the fact that he was paid a million dollars for a book (that since flopped). I agree, an unknown writer being paid that much is unusual, not surprising it made the news. But doesn't that mean we are basically with the situation that 24 years ago there were a few articles about him as a "the million dollar man" as he tried to make it as author. He never made it, and for 24 years there was nothing about him. This month there was some very minor coverage of him as a "sleazy dating coach" as he claimed to have been detained (not verified, btw). Am I missing something, or is that all there is? Jeppiz (talk) 21:58, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
      • You are correct regarding sources, but I would disagree with your conclusions. I believe that the argument being made here is that the subject satisfies WP:NBASIC, nothing more. Pointing to a book that might have flopped seems to be missing the forest for the trees. ... an unknown writer being paid that much is unusual, not surprising it made the news. Per WP:NOTCENSORED, that is exactly what we deal in here: The unusual, the outlandish and yes, even the controversial. Havradim leaf a message 23:20, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
        • With due respect, I think you misunderstand WP:NOTCENSORED. Nobody had objected to the article as offensive or controversial, but many have objected due to the subject not being notable. That has nothing to do with censorship. Jeppiz (talk) 09:19, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete - I figured earlier last week there might be some sort of international incident due to his alleged disappearance (which really is why a large amount of random media started paying him much attention), but it did not appear to materialise in major reliable sources of note - perhaps the most notable are coverage in media like RT, Sputnik (or affiliates) and other Russian state media etc that are WP:Depreciated. He's been doing the Youtube circuit since then, appearing on random Youtuber's shows, but the coverage seems to have dried up from RS. Sources, like the Chilean interferencia, when talking about his earlier literary and film works noted that despite the high dollar amount from his book deal, sales did not materialise, and his film had received bad reviews from critics. Probably why these works did not have lasting notability - coverage of these works did not last outside of the PR articles written before they came out. His economics punditry did not seem to have much written about it in RS. So then, his incel/dating coach and war coverage vlog seem to be what is left, which is covered in the dailybeast article. Cononsense (talk) 22:43, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Despite the disclaimer, this discussion is acquiring a vote character. I would wish to make the argument that 1) notoriety does constitute notability in the sense that a user may want to seek encyclopedic knowledge on a topic, 2) keeping a page does not close the door to adequate expression of doubt or criticism, while deleting it, removes all options for expression wrt a specific topic. In consequence, I am perceiving the benefit of the doubt as pointing towards keeping, regardless of the notion of worthiness or unworthiness I might have of the subject. 79.116.93.221 (talk) 02:16, 28 April 2022 (UTC) — 79.116.93.221 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 18:22, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by "removes all options for expression wrt a specific topic". Deletion doesn't mean we don't cover a topic, it means we don't have a dedicated, stand-alone article under this title. Any information from the article can be expressed elsewhere at Knowledge (XXG), in other relevant articles as necessary. Deletion of the article doesn't mean banning of the content; just that this would not be a topic that merits its own article. (disclosure: I voted keep above). --Jayron32 12:22, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
"removes all options for expression wrt a specific topic" - that's not true. If Lira does something noteworthy, it can still be mentioned in other, appropriate articles. BeŻet (talk) 12:52, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
...and someone will remove that mention arguing that the person isn't notable and pointing to the absence of dedicated article on Knowledge (XXG). 🙂 - GizzyCatBella🍁 12:59, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

He is a published author in two languages, a film director, a notable blogger as well as YouTuber. His disappearance made international news. If that alone does not make him notable, what does?

  • Redirect to List of generation II Pokémon. I would normally say keep, based on the fact there's been coverage in IGN, Comicbook.com, Game Rant, Screen Rant, etc, but we had a giant mess before where every single Pokémon species had their own individual articles, before most of them got merged. There are about a thousand or so Pokemon species now and having an article on every single of them is just going to be a case of WP:NOTBULBAPEDIA. If we don't keep the list of articles on fictional elements under control, we're just going to turn into Fandom, and that's an issue that goes beyond just sourcing and notability.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 21:14, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete So what have we got here? The lack of an article in Hindi makes me wonder how legit this is but the article is not an orphan so you might hope that somebody would have spotted those articles linking to a bogus topic if this is bogus. That said, the subject is mentioned in Durga#Pancharatra_texts with unconvincing references so... Is it bogus? It doesn't seem to be a complete hoax because we have a passing mention in a book from 1997 here which has Durgamasur being killed by Durga, as recounted in the article. The snippet suggests that there are details in the Devi Mahatmya but I can't find the name Durgamasur in this translation. There is a brief mention of slaying an asura called Durgama though. (Speculation: Durgama + asura = Durgamasur?) There a few hits in Google Scholar but they all trace back to Knowledge (XXG) so that's no use. I'm going to say that the topic here is probably real but definitely not notable. At best, this is a very minor character in Hindu mythology who exists solely to get killed by a character that people actually care about. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:54, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a film and television director, not properly referenced as passing WP:CREATIVE. As always, our inclusion standards are not automatically passed by every person whose article says they did stuff -- the notability test isn't in what they did, it's in how much media coverage they did or didn't get for doing what they did.
But this is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all -- IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, her "staff" profiles on the self-published websites of organizations or companies that she's been directly affiliated with, and an alumni profile in the alumni magazine of her own alma mater -- without showing even one piece of reliable or notability-supporting coverage in a real media outlet at all, and even on a ProQuest search I can't find anything better (all I get is nine glancing namechecks of her existence in pieces that aren't about her, which isn't enough.)
Even the one potentially valid notability claim here (a Gemini Award nomination in an obscure category) isn't an instant notability freebie if you have to rely on her own self-published web presence to support it because it's completely unverifiable in real media coverage -- we have seen articles created that falsely claimed award nominations the subject didn't really have, so even when it comes to award nominations the notability test still vests not in the words "Gemini Award" but in the media coverage that can or can't be shown to independently verify that the award nomination actually happened.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have any real WP:GNG-worthy sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 11:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Keep There are very many reliable, independant revews of The Legend of La Llorona. Therefore, subject meets WP:CREATIVE 3 (played a major role — directed and wrote — in creating a significant work which has recieved multiple reviews). Samsmachado (talk) 10:33, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Comment - I was pinged twice, so to follow up on my !vote to delete: my interpretation of WP:CREATIVE#3 is that we need more than reviews to support notability - the reviews are in addition to the work being significant or well-known, which I think can sometimes be supported by the volume and content of the secondary coverage. For this article, the reviews are largely negative and do not seem to indicate significance or notoriety, and there is little other verifiable evidence of critical recognition for her other work. WP:GNG/WP:BASIC does not appear sufficiently supported by the reviews, and significant independent and reliable coverage about her and her career has not been found.

  • Delete per Beccayner; a careful WP:BEFORE supports the nom's orignal argument that there is insufficient SIGCOV to warrant a standalone article. Likewise, this is a BLP, so even more care should be taken, and reviews on their own are not sufficiently independent or third-party. Per WP:BLPSOURCES, contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced should be removed immediately and without discussion. This applies whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable. SN54129 14:30, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Promotional article that was cited to a flurry of promotional links and uncheckable dead links. 2017 PROD was declined. There was one actual RS actually about the artist. A WP:BEFORE shows passing mentions, mostly in publicity materials for an NFT put out by Lamborghini. I can't find any other solid biographical sources in actual solid RSes on the artist herself. I'd be delighted to be shown wrong, with said solid biographical sources in actual solid RSes, and not promotional venues, non-RSes etc. David Gerard (talk) 18:48, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Artists, United Kingdom, and United States of America. David Gerard (talk) 18:48, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm not sure if it's the same person, but an artist with the same name sold an NFT house in March 2021 and got several hits about it in CNN, USA Today etc. I think those might make the individual notable, if this is the same person. Oaktree b (talk) 20:14, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep - there seems to be a fair bit to work with. Bylined Forbes profile has quite a lot of bio information. This installation appears to have been covered quite a lot. Her virtual house NFT project got a lot of play - here's a CNN piece - and the resulting claims of fraud (NFTs, amirite) got some too. This is not my area, but I can try to build some of these into the article later and see where I can get. I suspect there's more to work with as well. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:20, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
    • Forbes piece is a contributor blog, they aren't RSes. The CNN piece and Blogto (an RS?) is passing mentions at best. Surface piece might be usable though. I think the big problem is that the article is presently so obviously a press release that it'd need a rewrite from scratch. But if we have the sources, that's doable - David Gerard (talk) 00:27, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
      Has there been a discussion of the Forbes Contributor Program as an RS someplace? If so, I'd like to review it, because looking at the program it is an editor-reviewed offering that Forbes pays contributors for and tags with its editorial standards. If this was a marketing attempt by the artist, I'd expect to find this piece elsewhere, but there doesn't seem to be anything of the sort.
      Re the others, I think I'd argue with 'passing mentions' - they directly revolve around her project. The BlogTO article was the one I was looking at at the time, there are other options out there. I will try to do a quick rewrite this evening and see what I can manage. Tony Fox (arf!) 01:02, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
      Yes, WP:FORBESCON is the WP:RSP entry specifically distinguishing Forbes RS content (staff bylines, from the print edition) from contributor blogs (not RSes and shouldn't be used, especially on a BLP - Forbes.com contributor articles should never be used for third-party claims about living persons.), and linking the discussions to this effect. Forbes contributor blogs are blog posts, not RSes, and shouldn't be used except in limited circumstances, and not as general references on a BLP as here - David Gerard (talk) 13:59, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
      I normally am perfectly fine with consensus here, but that one I would have argued hard about. I'm sorry to have missed that discussion, because it really discounts the work of freelance writers. I used the Forbes pieces for basic background information in the rewrite, but will attempt to find replacements if possible. 15:16, 14 April 2022 (UTC) Tony Fox (arf!) 15:16, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment I've just given this a rewrite to get rid of the promotional tones, add inline citations, include multiple new sources, etc. in the process, I think I've affirmed notability - I've added sources from the NYT, USA Today, and Motor Trend (of all things). (Honestly, I feel like I need to wash my hands after working to bail out a flogger of NFTs but here we are.) Tony Fox (arf!) 04:42, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
    Stripped out a little more material based on the concerns with Forbes contributor articles. There's still plenty here to go on. I can also add mentions of her as part of the Louis Vuitton Louis 200 project currently underway, as well as a listing on a Fortune magazine 50 NFT innovators list. Tony Fox (arf!) 15:39, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep - I did some general cleanup of this article to further neturalize the tone and highlight the relative importance of the notability centered around the NFTs. I did see several articles in Google News on this artist, and as a women artist and part of the WikiProjects: Women Artists, I think there's enough reason to include the brief article in wikipedia. I agree with other editors that some more robust biographical data would be a benefit, but just because the notability established is relatively new and therefore not a lot of substantial biographical data is available, doesn't mean the topic isn't notable. It's just in its infancy and will likely grow. Anyone who can create an NFT and sell it for >$500K USD, and get written up in the NY Times, Newsweek, and other major media sources is likely to continue this lucrative work..... and more information will become available for article expansion. Just my editorial two-cents. The Real Serena Joy 23:17, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
    • I'd be wary, most NFT purchases are wash trading in cryptos, often in order to write a press release. Also, Newsweek post-2013 is also specifically marked as a bad source on RSP - WP:NEWSWEEK. That's a bit of a tell - they promoted it in questionable sources like Newsweek. This is why writing about anything even slightly crypto, one has to be super strict on sourcing, NYT should be good though - David Gerard (talk) 15:22, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST. Edwardx (talk) 09:36, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Keep On the basis of criterion 4 of WP:ARTIST. Explanation follows
  1. Criterion calls for artists work being "a substantial part of a significant exhibition"
  2. So was the "Know my Name" exhibition by the National Gallery of Australia significant? I think yes. My sources to back that up 1 2 3 I could go on, there is a ton of coverage if you search "Know My Name" in google news.
  3. And so was her work a substantial part of the exhibition? This is the weakest link in my logic chain, there are between over 250 artists in the exhibition So I think this could be argued either way, but also it was a country's national galleries most expensive exhibition ever (see above). Pwerle is mentioned and got her own page https://knowmyname.nga.gov.au/artists/jeanie-pwerle/
  4. So in summary, the national gallery of a country is specifically telling us there are the 250 artists we should know about, it's quite directly telling us there are the notable artists, and she's one of them. I think she passes WP:ARTIST CT55555 (talk) 10:17, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment If there are over 250 artists in the show, then one painting by Pwerle cannot be deemed "a substantial part". And every artist gets their own page at the exhibtion website, so that means nothing. Edwardx (talk) 10:29, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
    When the national gallery of a country puts on an exhibition that is explicitly telling us that women have been underrepresented and this is an attempt to showcase the ones we should know, they are really doing exactly what I think the people who wrote WP:ARTIST intended. All 250 are notable, as I see it. I don't see any sources for your statement that this is "one painting" so if you have more sources about her work, please share them.
    I think we need to consider scale here. If a local gallery said "here's the 250" best artists from our town, I'd accept the counter argument more easily. When the national gallery of a nation with 25 million people says "there are the 250" I think we need to accept that all 250 are probably notable.
    I also don't think that just because they created pages for the artists in the series it should diminish my point. What the gallery did or did not do for others, I think, are arguments to avoid in AfD. CT55555 (talk) 11:02, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
  • I took a look at how we represent the artists in Know my Name. We have articles on approximately 75 % of the participants. It would be interesting to look at it a bit more closely and see if there is bias in our coverage. Vexations (talk) 19:14, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment My preference would be to keep the article, but the it has some serious issues. I didn't see any significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Galleries who sell Pwerle's work have written about it, but that does not establish notability because it is not independent coverage. The collections listed appear to fail verification. A commercial art gallery that has some works by an artist in stock is not a collection. The NGA would be significant, but fails verification. I cannot confirm that they bought any work by Pwerle. Notability here hinges on whether qualified professionals (not us) find the work somehow important ot significant. I am very sympathetic to CT55555's argument that recognition by the NGA ought to suffice. I'd like to see better sources. Are there no reviews? That would really help.
Motivated by your comment, I looked into her exhibiting in the places she mentioned. I got here http://holmesacourtgallery.com.au/article/angelina-pwerle Now is "Angelina Pwerle" and "Jeannie Pwerle" both of Utopia the same person? I see she goes by at least four names and Jeanie does sound like a contraction of Angelina, so I'm saying yes. i.e. I think the claim is verifiable. But also is it a commercial gallery? I think it is, but seems like it also houses a collection, but seems maybe her art was not in it permanently. This is obviously frustrating the way we live in a world where Aboriginal women in Australia have been documented to be excluded from media, and we're applying the exact same standard to her as everyone else. This is a bigger conversation than this AfD, but I think Knowledge (XXG) also does encourage common sense and there is literally an agreed philosophy that we can "ignore all rules" if they have negative consequences. What is a worse consequence that upholding systemic bias, systems of oppression. Should we ignore that because it's a bigger, longer term problem? I hope not. I plea to anyone reading this to vote, as Knowledge (XXG) encourages, using common sense, the spirit of the rules and the spirit of "we are here to build an encyclopedia" CT55555 (talk) 12:22, 13 April 2022 (UTC) My comment was framed with a mistaken starting assumption, as corrected below, now striking out. CT55555 (talk) 14:00, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
@CT55555, Angelina Pwerle is a different artist. She was born in 1946 in Utopia. We have an article on her. Netherzone (talk) 13:48, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep Here is confirmation that the National Gallery of Australia bought one of Pwerle's works (an untitled woodcut) in 1990. I'll try and confirm this at the library tomorrow, but I believe she has a biographical entry in the book Aboriginal Artists Dictionary of Biographies by Margo Birnberg and Janusz Kreczmanski. --Canley (talk) 13:10, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment WP:ARTIST states: "The person's work (or works) has: ... (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." Several means three or more, and this being a print does not help. Edwardx (talk) 19:39, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
Switching vote to Delete based on comments by Edwardx and Netherzone. One collection is not enough to satisfty WP:NARTIST 4(d), even if it is the national gallery. Furthermore, there is no current basis for passing WP:GNG as the references are nearly all gallery sources. Curiocurio (talk)
@Curiocurio I wonder if you noted that, Netherzone, just voted to keep? CT55555 (talk) 15:51, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment NARTIST 4(d) states that these need to be "notable galleries or museums". Mbantua Gallery is a commerical gallery that sells her work. As for the Holmes à Court Collection (which in itself is at best marginally notable), all we have is a claim on a CV page from japingkaaboriginalart.com, another commercial gallery that sells her work. Sorry, but this is a clear 4d fail. Edwardx (talk) 19:59, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep NARTIST 4(d) Theredproject (talk) 18:33, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

    Aboriginal Artists Dictionary of Biographies meets ANYBIO Theredproject (talk) 19:21, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment regarding the "collections" - Two of the "collections" are definitely not notable permanent museum collections, the article is in error (I'll correct that after this post). The Mbantua Gallery is not a museum it is a commercial sales gallery, and the item supposedly in their collection has been sold by the gallery. See: . The Holmes a Court Gallery is also a commercial sales gallery, not a museum, the citation in the article goes to a "Add to Cart, How to Buy" page.. So it appears that these galleries show her work, but that fact does not contribute to notability. The National Gallery of Australia collection can be verified, but one collection is not enough to put her over the bar of WP:NARTIST. Courtesy pings to Curiocurio, CT55555, Theredproject about the collections. I'm holding off on !voting to see if Canley was able to find her in the Aboriginal Artists Dictionary of Biographies, if so she would pass WP:ANYBIO Netherzone (talk) 19:03, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment She does have an entry in Aboriginal Artists Dictionary of Biographies, but the bio is pretty short (about 32 words). The entry does mention that Pwerle was one of 46 featured artists in the Meeting Place five-year travelling exhibition (confirmed on the back of the poster) which seems pretty significant (it was a major exhibition featured during the International Council of Museums (ICOM) conference in Melbourne). --Canley (talk) 03:39, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the ping. I remain keep for the reasons I made in my first comment (i.e. the national gallery saying she is one of their top 250). CT55555 (talk) 15:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep - based on the short entry in Aboriginal Artists Dictionary of Biographies, she meets WP:ANYBIO criterion #3. That combined with the fact she is in the National Gallery collection, I think the article should be retained. Netherzone (talk) 13:48, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete. Funny how people clutch at straws to try keep worthy pursuits like art and academia went there is no hint of passing GNG and rabidly attack less highbrow activities like sport even when there is a clear verified passing of a SNG. No that dictionary is not the "country's standard national biographical dictionary", no pass of ANYBIO #2. 32 words is not a GNG pass. ARTIST 4d is not passed by being sold in shops. duffbeerforme (talk) 22:09, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

What little there is, analysis-wise, is limited to a single poorly referenced sentence in the lead (" The sacrifice of the Spartans and the Thespians has captured the minds of many throughout the ages and has led to the creation of many cultural references as a result.", the ref is a reliable book but the page number is missing). My WP:BEFORE, however, does suggest this topic is potentially notable (sample sources: , , ) but given the state of the article, I think WP:TNT applies - if I was to rewrite this, I don't think I would use a single sentence or reference from the current mess, and as usual, keeping such a mess is likely only going to scare away any potential, serious contributors, who are not going to want to waste their time trying to rewrite this hopeless 95% ORish piece (which, btw, liberally treats its subject and contains unreferenced, of course, trivial claims such as "Asteroid 2782 Leonidas is named for the Spartan king." and "The name "Leonidas" passed into Russian as well as Ukrainian (shortened to "Leonid"), and remains a fairly common male name among the speakers of these languages. Among the prominent persons of that name are Soviet Union general secretary Leonid Brezhnev and Leonid Kuchma, president of the post-Soviet Ukraine."). So yeah, it even mixes its scope with topics such as the cultural reception of the name of the famous king who fought there, and others... Did I say this was a major mess?

This is my first time nominating an article for deletion, so apologies if I have gotten something wrong. The subject does not appear to be notable, as a quick search shows multiple news articles on her, but they all seem to be about the same event. Out of the three sources currently cited, the first is a primary source, while the third I'm pretty sure is not reliable. The article was originally moved to draftspace, but the creator moved it back. I think that it is possible that sources exist in other languages which I don't speak.

No evidence of notability found, sources (external links) are not independent but organisations he works for or with. Perhaps better sources are available in Egyptian publications, but internationally, or in Germany where he now works, he seems to be hardly known. I can't find evidence of any "Dance de Lagos" in Portugal. Fram (talk) 10:59, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Other stuff in the article is unverifiable as well, e.g. I can't find no evidence of a diploma called "Royal Danish Ballet School technique". The membership of the Unesco CID is a paid, open to all membership, not some distinction. His school in Berlin is extremely minor. Fram (talk) 11:02, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete. Despite a good deal of searching, I wasn't able to find any significant coverage either. Unless there are large numbers of sources that I'm missing due to the language barrier (and I think that's quite unlikely), he does not appear to meet either WP:NARTIST or the GNG.

  • Comment TV5 Monde as described , entirely not notable as source. The same info can be found in a WGN radio article, . Only mentioned in passing, the reliable sources as listed are token mentions, ehnce the non-notability. Not sure how "tying up the person role" helps to explain why this is notable. Zero mentions in the NYT, Jstor or GScholar, 3 "hits" in Gbooks but nothing mentioned about him. Nothing notable found. The BBC Brazil article is him being interviewed for the Olympics, nothing about him as a person. We need better sources about the subject, not just mentioning him.

The result was no consensus. The first !vote following the nomination essentially only provides a "per nom" rationale, and the second !vote provides no guideline- or policy-based rationale for deletion, with the user only stating that they "don't see" how the topic is notable, providing no other input. Sources were provided later in the discussion, along with a rationale that the trademark being non-notable is a non-issue relative to the article's content. However, nobody else who contributed earlier came back later to opine about these matters, and no other users came along afterward either, after three relistings. In light of all of this, closing with the caveat of No prejudice against speedy renomination, as this is essentially an incomplete discussion that gained no further input, when such input would have been vital.

Random, completely arbitrary grab-bag of unrelated technologies in science fiction. The sub-sections "Visitors from other planets" and "parallel worlds" have nothing whatsoever to do with technology.

    Ioma Rajapaksa is mentioned as mahinda rajapaksa wife in this talk. She is the spouse of gotabaya rajapaksa, the current president of sri lanka. Gotabaya uss the title first lady for his wife foundly.

Relisting comment: On the face of it, most of the keep arguments are not very persuasive. Notability is not inherited or inherent. It requires verifiable evidence, evidence which is pretty much lacking here. Google hits do not equate with meeting GNG. This needs more discussion.

  • Delete "Common outcomes" is a non-binding essay that sums up past outcomes, and the "common sense" special pleading is no substitute for actual sources, especially in a BLP. The actual rules (WP:INVALIDBIO) are clear that a notable person's spouse isn't automatically notable. Looking at the article, source 1 doesn't mention the subject; source 2 has no prose and is just an image caption; and 3, 4 and 5 are not secondary or independent. The Subday Observer piece posted above is a passing mention. Whoever said above that the sourcing meets BIO and GNG (both of which require sigcov in 2+ sources) hasn't seriously looked at it. On top of this one can add WP:BLP1E, or rather BLP0E since no notable events are associated with the topic. Avilich (talk) 15:15, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Newspapers.com doesn't do well for non-English sources, User:Sammi Brie. Need something else for Quebec subjects. Every regular editor has Proquest (and more) access through Knowledge (XXG) Library. Nfitz (talk) 15:39, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
ProQuest isn't always great for non-English sources either, to be honest. It does sometimes have some fairly random hits from L'actualité, but doesn't officially list that as a publication contained in its database if I check the list of publications, and I can sometimes (but not reliably) find French wire service articles from Canadian Press and transcripts of the anchor portion (but not the individual hits of reportage) from Le Téléjournal, but I have never once found a bylined staff report from any francophone Quebec newspaper in Canadian Newsstream. When I need francophone sourcing for a Quebec topic, rather, I do check ProQuest just in case, but rely much more on Érudit and/or the search function on the Le Devoir website (which is where I was actually able to retrieve the source for Boivin's Jutra nomination.) Bearcat (talk) 15:34, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep. Article does certainly need referencing improvement, but in addition to the Gémeaux he also has a Jutra Award nomination for Best Live Action Short Film (2006) under his belt for his short film Radio, and as noted by other commenters better sources do exist to fix the article with. The problem finding sourcing for his Gémeaux win may come down to the fact that he directed Phylactère Cola under the pseudonym "Psychopat" rather than as "Patrick Boivin", so try searching under "Psychopat" as well.

Update: I've added several footnotes to the article, and cleaned up any remaining advertorialism (which was actually quite limited). Bearcat (talk) 00:52, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

WP:IINFO, WP:NOTHOWTO, WP:MADEUP. Most of the sources do not verify that these names exist for these tricks; the main source has gone 404 and I could not find a backup for it. This article has been tagged for maintenance since 2009 and has gained nothing but more and more cruft. If there is a valid list here, then it needs WP:TNT.
