Fails WP:NBIO. Also WP:SPAM that meets speedy criterion WP:G11. Ergo Sum 23:57, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete: fails WP:GNG, not notable as spiritual practitioner or anything else. QueerEcofeminist🌈 05:35, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Authors, Christianity, and Brazil. Spiderone 07:51, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Keep - Article has referencing included that already demonstrates sufficient in depth coverage per WP:BASIC. It is badly written and promotional but deletion is not for cleanup. It is clearly not spam. Not clear that any WP:BEFORE has been considered here. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:13, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: All the published works listed are self published, with, according to online info, the shortest being 9 pages and the longest 64. 5Q5| 12:39, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
    Yes, his publications are not notable. I don't think he meets WP:NAUTHOR. What makes him notable is the fact that people are writing about him and making documentaries about him. 13:11, 5 July 2023 (UTC) Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 13:11, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
    While he has appeared in some reality television, he largely is not the focus of the pieces. There may be other media about him out there, but the filmography listed does not constitute significant coverage. Vegantics (talk) 19:29, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
    Per WP:BASIC, the question is whether there is significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other. We can strip out the self promotion, but we are still left with significant coverage from the National Geographic (reliable), the History channel (not reliable. May suggest there is an issue of fringe here), and Vice (no consensus on reliability, but this report appears to be balanced, and is also significant - albeit that the church is opposing the practice). There are a number of news reports too, which do count towards the multiple sources required. This is just the information on the page. We have multiple sources, including an in depth radio interview. Now we may not believe in what this person is doing or the way he is going about it, and we certainly would be right to think this page needs some serious attention, but regardless of that, it is not clear to me at this stage why we are discounting these sources. No source review has been conducted nor considered of the existing sources, and already we have !votes that he fails GNG (suggesting the delete should be speedy, whilst not giving any speed deletion criterion, I might add). Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:11, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
    The only reliable sources I'm seeing in this article that actually discuss the subject are National Geographic and NBC. The problem is simply being interviewed by, quoted by, or mentioned by a reliable news outlet does not make a person notable. In each of these instances, the sources are not writing about Oliveira per se, but are writing about exorcisms and just happen to discuss his work. It's the same as if a news organization covers a story about bakery and interviews a baker about what he does. That certainly does not make the baker notable. Here, there is scant coverage and none of it is actually substantially profiling the subject directly. That makes him unnotable. Ergo Sum 23:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:TOOSOON. Try again later if more evidence of notability and lasting contribution to his field can be established. 5Q5| 13:20, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete a "reality TV personality". Article is promotional, and the references are very shallow. Walt Yoder (talk) 20:25, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete. The only WP:SIRS source appears to be a Vice article. The other cites might qualify, but they all 404 at this point, even the archival links.Kalethan (talk) 20:54, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Article relies mostly on rankings, and after doing WP:BEFORE shows nothing more. thus, failing WP:GNG. I feel Revali and even Mipha are also be not notable but a dual nomination would be "reckless action". GreenishPickle! (🔔) 23:09, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

No opinion on deletion. But I note that the name is a spelling (in Sydney, Australia) of the local tribe: for example, there was a Daruk detention centre (Offending Institution: Daruk Boys Home). So if the current article is deleted, could "Daruk" be redirected to perhaps, rather than to the game character?Rick Jelliffe (talk) 13:45, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
Yes, the article can simply be moved to Daruk (The Legend of Zelda) or something along those lines. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:03, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
• Merge. I loved Breath of the Wild as much as the next person, but none of the Champions from Breath of the Wild seem to pass WP:GNG, this one especially. NegativeMP1 (talk) 20:30, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
Merge. Like Revali. Daruk doesn't have much sourcing beyond trivial mentions, listicles, or Creating a Champion. Probably send to Characters of The Legend of Zelda. ULPS (talk) 15:36, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Lack of reputable, secondary, non-independent sources. I attempted to search for sources (I am not extended confirmed yet, so I could not access The Knowledge (XXG) Library) to no avail. Even if I could find sources, the entire episode list would need to be rebuilt using the correct template, and the writers, storyboard artists, & directors' identities would need to be verified. After further research, I can confidently say that this show fails the general notability guideline. Namethatisnotinuse Namethatisnotinuse (talk) 22:49, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

*Weak Keep: news coverage seems to be global and work with GNG. Gerblinpete (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 08:56, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Comment did you see the depth and quality of coverage? I just removed some sources, such as a video from Good Deeds Day's own YouTube. Look through contribution history and you'll see a good chunk of info added into the article is a user name that is the same as the article title. Graywalls (talk) 14:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Keep. As others mentioned before me, coverage is more than sufficient for the WP:GNG. These are just a few of the articles. Not sure how this could have been nominated. gidonb (talk) 23:26, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
Why are we not finding any English sources for supposedly globally notable thing? Graywalls (talk) 23:04, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
How does your question even START to relate to my opinion? My opinion is that this is a major community day in Israel and hence notable. There is sufficient SIGCOV to support this. I never spoke about anything international. Why would that even matter? The population of Israel is 10 million people. Is this some kind of deflection from my opinion and sources? If you have questions for other people, please ask elsewhere! gidonb (talk) 00:59, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
In addition to irrelevant, it also is untrue. Consider: . That's just SOME of the English-language coverage in just ONE fine English-language newspaper. Please check before asking and, more important, do a WP:BEFORE ahead of nominating an article! gidonb (talk) 01:22, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Keep, abundant RS coverage demonstrated. We might quibble over whether this has been adequately shown to be a global phenomenon (although a scan of Google News suggests it is), but it has certainly been shown above to have ample GNG-compliant coverage within Israel. (In the "things on AFD that make you go hmm" department, I will note that the two delete votes claiming no RS coverage came after a comment providing two facially reliable sources, and did not state any grounds for considering them unreliable.) -- Visviva (talk) 00:37, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

The result was delete‎. I am unimpressed with arguments which discuss an editor's "pass rate" at AfD, and would like not to see that happen again. An argument is evaluated on its own merits, not that of the person who makes it. That aside, the arguments which specifically evaluated the reliability and independence of the reference material used for this article showed it to be lacking in substantial coverage of this company in particular, and several "keep" arguments either did not refute this or discussed somewhat related topics rather than the company itself.

  • Keep. A first indication of significance: they have 14 billion dollars in assets. That's a pretty significant number for most people. I ran a Knowledge (XXG) Library search and came up with 150 citations. Most of these were purchases and sales of large stakes in technology companies.
--A. B. 02:12, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
I have listed the 70+ companies in which they have major investments at Talk:Accel-KKR#Portfolio as of 27 June 2023.
-- A. B. 02:56, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
Assets size don't count towards notability nor does number of investments. 14billion under managament is miniscule compared to the average high street bank. It is just another indicator of how small it is. scope_creep
Accel-KKR doesn't just hold some stock; they make substantial investments and exercise control through Accel-KKR executives they place on company boards. Companies they partially own and control include: SugarCRM, Airship, Basware, Entersekt, FastSpring, Masabi, Ontraport, etc. These are not passively managed investments spread in small chunks of stock across many publicly traded companies. For a passively managed fund, $14 billion under management is indeed a much smaller sum; those passive funds are usually much less profitable and may be managed by a handful of people.
About those high street banks: Since Accel-KKR largely makes equity investments (there are some debt investments), it's more technically accurate to think of the 14 billion as the collective market capitalization of these companies and then compare that to the market caps of big banks in Britain and Ireland (the countries with "high streets"). (Note: the following numbers fluctuate daily). Royal Bank of Scotland's is certainly bigger: 19 billion. NatWest Group's is 26 billion and Lloyds Banking Group's is still higher. Then again, Accel-KKR is worth more than Virgin Money's 2.7 billion, the Bank of Ireland's 10.8, billion, and Allied Irish Banks' 11.1 billion. Switzerland and Germany don't have "high streets" which may be why Credit Suisse's valued at just 3.6 billion and even huge Deutsche Bank is only 50% more valuable than Accel-KKR at 21 billion.
As for true "high street" (i.e, retail banks), most of these have by now been subsumed into bigger British or global banks.
So $14 billion still buys a lot, whether it's big stakes in software companies or whole banks.
As for notability, we have the plethora of reliable sources noted elsewhere.

Are you a paid editor? Are you paid to advocate for this. None of that is a criteria from proving notability, its all routine business operations and posting it up, is a complete waste of your time. We will go through the references this week. scope_creep 18:15, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
@User:Scope creep, "Are you a paid editor?" - do you ask that of every editor you disagree with? Are you suggesting I am?
--A. B. 21:05, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
"None of that is a criteria from proving notability,". I don't disagree, I was responding to your assertions. I asserted notability based WP:RS. You brought up "high street banks" as a point of comparison; I just responded. You asserted that 14 billion under management was no big deal and I pointed out the big difference between passive and active portfolio management. As for adding the lists of companies to the article talk page -- kinda looks like article research and building. --A. B. 21:46, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
No I'm not a paid editor. If I was a paid editor I would tell you. I've certainly thought about it in the past but gave up on the idea. The reasons I asked is due to your spurious non-arguments around investments and monies held that are completely routine line of business function and don't denote anything that is considered special or notable and are completly outside WP:NCORP, but looked like advocacy for somebody who is unconnected. Regarding the list of companies they invest in, per consensus it was decided into about 2018 they no longer suitable for wikipedia as they were considered promotional and removed around that. If they been added in by editors, then there is a problem. That is a clear sign of promotional editing or UPE. We will look at the references and compare them WP:NCORP. scope_creep 06:23, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
"Regarding the list of companies they invest in, per consensus it was decided into about 2018 they no longer suitable for wikipedia" -- is this rule in a guideline or policy somewhere? I haven't seen it but then we have a lot of guidelines.

  • Ref 15 Company link Fails WP:SIRS.
  • Ref 16 Company link Fails WP:SIRS.

A majority of these are press-releases that come from company information directly from the company website: There is not single genuine secondary source that satisfies WP:SIRS in these first two blocks. The article is typical of the type built in 2008-2009 that used any kind transitory source that happened to be there. There is even a Techchrunch source, which is dreadful.

  • Keep. Despite the nom's evident intention to personally attack anyone who finds their arguments lacking, I nonetheless find their arguments lacking. Just a quick dip into Google Scholar gives me: a Private Equity Journal article with a two-page section on the company's partnership with McKinsey; a Private Equity Analyst article about an Accel-KKR structured capital fund (which includes the note A spokeswoman for Accel-KKR declined to comment, which is at least highly suggestive of independence); and several pages from an Against the Grain article on Accel-KKR's acquisition of an equity stake in HighWire. Newspaper coverage seems to be fairly rich as well, as A. B. has noted. Beyond that, while my time for this is limited, spot-checking the nom's analysis of sources suggests a disturbingly cavalier disregard for the facts. For example, the Techcrunch article is dismissed as non-independent due to being an interview, but in fact it was another portion of the article that relied on an interview with an unrelated CEO. (And Techcrunch itself is listed as "no consensus" on WP:RSP.) As to the bizjournals.com article, I am unable to locate any indicia that this is a press release or even sourced to one; the author appears to be a journalist of decent repute, and prior consensus on RSN seems to be that bizjournals.com is generally reliable. In addition, turning to the WSJ articles that the nom rejects as "press-release(s)", I can only report that an exact-phrase web search does not turn up the sort of matches that I would expect to find for a press release. -- Visviva (talk) 03:48, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
I happen to be awake so will reply as I came up on my watchlist as I was looking for another article, although I will doubt it was make a difference. As against the "Against the grain article " Here is the press-release for that Highwire press-release. The exact same content has been copied into the article. On the closing of the fund, an entirely routine operation for a private equity group, that raises funds for investment for your ref . I think they are are on about 18th or 19th fund, but don't hold me to it. Each one gets a press-releases to inform its shareholders and interested investors. Here is a company new desk article, , and another press-release from a previous fund . Regarding the Jstor document, when you look at the references 24-28, one of them is an interview making it non-independent, two of them are lifted from the company website, two of them are press-release related. Not an academic article and certainly not the most sulubrious sources. The idea the wsj doesn't take the advertisement dollar when it states clearly in its marketing schtick " allows brands to align with our premium, paid content at scale" that is does, is egregious. The fact that reliable sources state they are reliable only works if you examine every reference. They are generally reliable, not perfectly reliable. There is only on paper like that and its AP News. The Wsj is quite far down the scale, if you care to look. scope_creep 04:36, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
For Against the Grain, it's the exact same press release, but the third segment indicates they copied it from the HighWire side of things. Bit of a stretch to call it "several pages" as well, it's one and a half tops (besides being a press release). Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:39, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
I guess that segment doesn't show up until a few pages later in the google scholar results though, it was on page 4 for me though easier to find in their archives. I totally sympathise with not wanting to spend an hour on BEFORE sifting the hundreds of results that are quite frankly appalling (or however long it takes for people who are more efficient than I am) but like, I'm not sure I understand the argument from the keep !voters? Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:55, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
The WSJ news article has been taken out the WP article for some reason , but the headline states "Goldman Takes Minority Stake in Accel-KKR ", here is the press-release it was taken from . Its on multiple sites? What gives? The company has been producing 2 press-releases a month since both Accel and KKK joined togeher in 2010. Its all from that news desk.scope_creep 04:49, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Weak Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. In plain English, this means that references cannot rely *only* on information provided by the company - such as articles that rely entirely on quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews, website information, etc - even when slightly modified. If it isn't *clearly* showing independent content then it fails ORGIND. Here, the vast majority of references are simply regurgitating company announcements and have no "Independent Content" in the form of independent analysis/fact checking/opinion/etc. There is one reference mentioned above "Multi-Partner Venture Alliances" which I believe meets NCORP criteria as it contains sufficient independent analysis on the alliance between the topic company and McKinsey. I've also seen some reference to a list produced by HEC-DowJones but I cannot ascertain whether there is any "Independent Content" as it appears to be a ranking based on information on investments provided by the company. None of the other references meet the criteria and I'm unable to find anything that does. Happy to reconsider any other references if anybody turns up something. HighKing 20:01, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment + Question I fail to understand why people are removing the "subscription" and "registration" metadata for citations. I believe this is quite important for verifiability by readers. For instance the Financial Times article by Richard Waters is clearly behind a paywall and provides no clue as to content but for the title; the author is not even exposed in the available content. Am I missing something about citation style that I should know about? Thanks for your input. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:01, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
    Added the subscription tags on the refs. That is not the main issue here, those are considered reliable sources and getting around the paywall to access the information is not hard. They should not be removed on that basis. - Indefensible (talk) 03:13, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
    • I've found that getting around the paywalls is not possible in many cases. Maybe I'm just not a skilled enough safecracker, though :-) . --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:55, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

    I am sorry but again those are just passing mentions. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 08:28, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
    See this article from Kaler Kantho. This reliable source also proves once again that he fulfills GNG Rayhan.author (talk) 13:11, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
    This source basically a interview (primary source). It's not significant coverage. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 15:23, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
    You are doing something wrong somewhere. Gov.UK (1) called the site primary, but it is an independent source according to WP:INDY, which has begun to establish his notability. Also failed to call (this news) reliable rather it was reliable from Echo News. Again, this source from ABC News called to be passing, which was not passing because it was carrying a detailed identity rather than the slightest mention of him. Rayhan.author (talk) 19:57, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
    It seems certain that your doubts will not go away. But I'll be able to help more, if you see this coverage (Muhammad (SAW):1001 Universal Appreciations and Interfaith Understanding and Peace), it's published by Muhammad A. Lais where shaykh hasan got coverage on p.104
    WP:GNG doesn't violate at all, even though it was established at first. Rayhan.author (talk) 20:18, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
    Gov.UK profile is not SIGCOV. echo-news.co.uk is not reliable and also it's a passing mention. "Prime Minister Boris Johnson visits church where British MP David Amess was stabbed to death" has nothing to do with the article. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 19:23, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
    The Gov.UK site itself states that it monitors company and individual information. It's not a profile at all, profiles are basically self-published or self-contained and Edit-worthy. But this is not it.
    In my opinion, the gov.uk is SIGCOV that is carrying in WP:INDY Can you show me which page it says is not SIGCOV? Rayhan.author (talk) 20:23, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
    REMINDED AGAIN, It seems certain that your doubts will not go away. But I'll be able to help more, if you see this coverage (Muhammad (SAW):1001 Universal Appreciations and Interfaith Understanding and Peace), it's published by Muhammad A. Lais where shaykh hasan got coverage on p.104

    I feel like I have something to do even if you don't have anything to do with the ABC News. Why are you looking at the headline only, just read the news. I have provided the link and screenshot for your convenience. Wrote and copied, ( Members of Southend's Muslim community expressed their shock and sadness at the loss of their local member of Parliament.
    Sheik Mahmudul Hasan, an imam at the Essex Jamme Masjid Trust, said Sir David was "our friend, our guardian, our very close person".
    Mr Hasan said the MP had been supportive both on an individual level and within the community.
    As part of the Metropolitan Police's investigation into the killing – which it described as terrorism – officers were searching two locations in the London area.
    Mr Hasan said Islam was a religion of peace and if that link was confirmed, "we would be ashamed and shocked as Muslims.") Rayhan.author (talk) 21:28, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Note Agreed with Rayhan.author's opinion, another reliable source was found from Kaler Kantho and added in article's Note section. Ontor22 (talk) 14:51, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Note I need to do something. I have looked at the complete sources and discuss the source categories again. Ref:1 is primary, from Dhaka Post. Ref: 2, From Kaler Kantho and independent from the subject which is reliable. Ref: 3-5 are useless and not reliable. Ref: 6 is from the official site of Essex and It's primary. In ref: 7, his name is mentioned, passing from BBC. Ref: 8, The Echo, independent and reliable source. Ref: 9-10 Primary, from Euronews. In Ref:11, he bears an identity and is doubted to be independent or passing from ABC News. Ref: 12 is Passing, from Echo News. Ref: 13, from Kaler Kantho. Does not focus on the subject and coverd him, it is also an independent and reliable source. Ref: 18, His identity from the UK Government site is reliable and independent. Ref: 15, 17 and 18 are primary. 19 is not reliable. Ref: 16 & 20-22 of British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration 100 Publications, where he got coverage. Undoubtedly, he is remarkable and notable person! Ontor22 (talk) 07:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
    I think you aggreed with me about what i said in my first comment. However i would like to also add that Ref 2 is a interview (primary). Ref 8 is a passing mentions. Ref 18 is a profile link from GOV.UK. Ref 16 & 20-22 is a two line coverage in a 100 persons list. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 19:31, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
    I have some similarities with you, but not all. I can't think like you, sorry. See my comment more carefully, I have provided some independent and reliable sources. And I see, you are selectively saying passing source over my so-called independent sources, which I disagree with. Ref:16 & 20-22, Not only him but everyone is mentioned in 2 lines in BB Power. This is the rule of publishing their publication, perhaps you are unable to understand what this publication is about. Ontor22 (talk) 21:40, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Strong delete, preferably quickly. Going in, I believed I was going to say keep due to the fact that it's referenced. However, the references are at worst fraudulent, at medium completely unrelated without a passing mention, and at best only establish his existence. Is it unreliably established that he exists? Yes. Is he notable? From my searches, from looking at the subject's work, and from the references given, definitely not. The fact that some of the sources given are probably paid (e.g., note almost exactly the same text, but different author attributions) or otherwise influenced made my opinion stronger. I have additional reasons, which I think might be obvious to other users caring to check, to believe that some editors in this discussion may not be following policy to promote their viewpoint. Chamaemelum (talk) 05:49, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
    Your comment make for a very nice question, thanks. You indicated his about section on YouTube, news sites also have this text or sentence. I will be more than happy to clarify one thing for you. First of all, Bangladeshi news sites do not directly interview a person, but search the person on online , copy the identity from social media or other media. As you must know, Bangladeshis are lazy and so are its journalists or editors. Not paid or promotional at all. Apart from Bangladeshis, do you call promotional from other country's source? If he was not notable, his name would not have been mentioned in publications or book . Ontor22 (talk) 06:30, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Comment: A user has posted "Alhamdulillah by the infinite mercy of Allah, finally I was able to successfully create Shaykh Mahmudul Hasan Uncle's Knowledge (XXG) page by adding the correct reference in the second attempt. Brother Mufti Muhammad Minhaj Uddin was always there for cooperation and encouragement" along with a link to the article. In response to this, Muhammad Minhaj Uddin said "TABARAKALLAH, Really Great job, after so long effort and dedication finally...". However, this same person is credited on the subject's YouTube about section by the subject as writing the same text that appears in this article. This article is heavily cited on the page and also used to justify not deleting this article. The creator and main editor of the present subject's Knowledge (XXG) also attempted to create a page for Muhammad Minhaj Uddin, who is the author of anoter "reference" used to argue for the inclusion of this article, here.

YouTube: Shaykh Mahmudul Hasan is a renowned British-Bangladeshi Muslim scholar and media personality. He is One of the pioneers of the Preaching of Islam in Britain. Also he is well-known as a prolific writer-researcher and analyst.

Article: Shaykh Mahmudul Hasan is a British-Bangladeshi Muslim scholar. He is a Renowned media personality and One of the pioneers of the Preaching of Islam in Britain. He is well-known as a prolific writer-researcher and analyst too.

Youtube: He is currently the Grand Imam-Khatib and Principal of The Essex Jame Masjid and Academy in Southend-on-Sea, London. He and his comrades-in-arms were caused a stir by the purchasing of United Reform Church in 2006. Later he played a major role in the formation of the Islamic Complex there.

Article: Currently he is the Grand Imam-Khatib and Principal of this complex. Needless to say, He and his comrades-in-arms caused a stir by the purchasing of this Church. Later he played a major role in the formation of the Islamic Complex there.

YouTube: He is also Director of TV One UK, a popular satellite TV channel across Europe.

Article: The Grand Imam Shaykh mahmudul Hasan who is the Director of TV One UK (a popular satellite TV channel across Europe)...

YouTube: He traveled around the world with education, theology & socio-philosophy and the glorious message of Islam. Participated in international seminars and symposiums in different countries.

Article: He traveled around the world with education, theology & socio-philosophy and the glorious message of Islam. Participated in international seminars and symposiums in different countries.

YouTube: Nowadays Shaykh Mahmudul Hasan is popular author, religious speaker & Instructor; got followers across the world.

Article: Nowadays Shaykh Mahmudul Hasan is a popular author, renowned media personality, well-known Muslim scholar, religious speaker & famous Instructor; has got followers across the world.

Another article used as a reference and to justify the inclusion is this. Again, same exact text as the above, obviously either directly influenced or directly paid by the same persons trying to create this article. Dhaka Post is known to create fake news.

The first article is attributed to a different person than the YouTube description, and we know from the FaceBook post that the attributed writer of the YouTube description has also worked on this article. So who is the author of the article? It is the author of the FaceBook post, describing how he was trying to get this page created.

This isn't even all the conflicts of interest and editing close connections, but I have to stop writing somewhere.

The sources are fake, the subject is not notable. Since this page was already deleted once, perhaps some precaution needs to be put in place so it doesn't keep being created. Chamaemelum (talk) 06:39, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

The matter seems interesting. I have known this man for many years, he is truly remarkable. However, maybe his fans are raising these doubts, in which Shaikh himself is being blamed. Ontor22 (talk) 07:31, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Note Articles are being truncated, with some including the BBC being called poor sources.1 Looks like I have to get involved.Ontor22 (talk) 07:37, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
    No. Poor sourcing. That is, the BBC article that mentions Hasan in passing has no relevance to the preceding text which says "he is the imam and Principal of Essex Jamme Masjid in Southend-on-Sea, London". Chamaemelum (talk) 07:46, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Note' Confusing readers with misinformation, I see Chamaemelum made a lot of changes and cuts. First of all, this article is being said that he is a Bangladeshi Imam, which is wrong information. He was born in Bangladesh but he is now a British. After this line of academic career (He also serves as a chief director of Olama kollan parishad, Chittagong.) there is a reference of qns Academy but there is no mention of Olama Kollanin qns link. Apart from the confusing source of dhaka post and Kaler Kantho, there existed a few reliable sources of the Kaler Kantho and other, which have been tactfully removed. I need to edit it soon. Looks like he was sent for the edi . Ontor22 (talk) 09:20, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
    Kaler Kantho is very unreliable. Akin to a blog post. I did not write that he is Bangladeshi, but someone can be Bangladeshi while living in Britain. Chamaemelum (talk) 09:25, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
    I think, you didn't focus. Kaler Kantho isn't a blog site. It is proven that have adopted a strategy, why did you remove the reliable sources and keep (thedailyshangu.com.,jagoronsangbad.com) them? Which are not wearing in any reliability. Are you trying to prove that this article now free from strong sources and is weak, bogus. Ontor22 (talk) 09:36, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
    I removed 1. references that are are associated with an obvious COI, and 2. references that did not support the preceding text. If I kept a source, it is because it was both not associated with a very obvious COI (still possible, though) and had at least some relevance to the preceding text. Chamaemelum (talk) 09:40, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
If anyone is not totally convinced about the COI, I have more blatant proof that I'm hesitant to post because it involves a real name. Chamaemelum (talk) 10:00, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Note Information about his YouTube match or social media, which was suspected to be promotional(COI), has been removed. He is not a Bangladeshi imam but a British imam,If he wasn't British he wouldn't be mentioned on the gov.uk site, because the site doesn't cover anyone from overseas. Strategically removed, sources, book section restored. He was not even held in recognition, which alos has been revived. Ontor22 (talk) 10:20, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete - COI aside (an issue that can be addressed at WP:COIN), subject fails WP:ANYBIO. I have looked at the references mentioned throughout this discussion and there is not enough to show how he meets notability guidelines under any criteria. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:40, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BLP and also WP:V, to wit, f no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, Knowledge (XXG) should not have an article on it. Spot checking refs reveals a very high level of nonsense here, such that I would be reluctant to trust any but the most conclusively reliable of sources. (E.g. this biographic citation to qowmipedia purports to be derived from a published book, মিম্বারের ধ্বনি (Voices of the Pulpit). Encouraging! But actually that book is authored by the article subject himself. And so on.) The problem with this level of promotional chaff is that as a practical matter, it results in even more and better sources being needed in order to be confident that we can provide a verifiably accurate article. And such sources do not seem to be on offer here. -- Visviva (talk) 00:17, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Delete per above. Okoslavia (talk) 15:16, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Intensity It has created a lot of complications. Comments are intensely hostile. Wrong idea about the person, editing or deleting without checking the source. WP:VER is very lacking. An admin is essential this time soon! Mafmes (talk) 15:39, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete I examined the 34 sources that are or were cited in the article and/or have been discussed here. Two URLs would not load for me, but there's nothing about them that suggests that the websites are reliable - that they have any reputation for accuracy or fact checking. There is a book, by a non-notable author from a non-notable and obscure publisher, not held by any WorldCat library, that appears to be a vanity publication. It has two pages about the subject, but also acknowledges him for his assistance in preparing the book, so it isn't clear how independent it is. The remaining 31 are a hopeless mishmash of passing mentions, non-independent (interviews, employer website), editorials (not reliable for facts), user-generated, indiscriminate, and don't mention him at all sources. Not a single one counts towards demonstrating notability. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:27, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
From the keep side there has been WP:BOMBARDMENT, WP:BLUDGEON, and removal of the AfD tag. When multiple editors with few contributions outside this AfD showed up to !vote keep, it was suggested that canvassing/meatpuppetry was going on, which was followed by unfounded counter accusations against experienced editors. There was also the offensive statement "Bangladeshis are lazy". Knowledge (XXG) deleted this topic under the title Shaykh Mahmudul Hasan just a year ago. Plainly there is a strong desire from some editors to push this subject into the encyclopedia. Alas, they have no grasp of Knowledge (XXG)'s sourcing or inclusion policies. The subject has been a huge time sink. So that the community doesn't go through this again, I recommend salting both titles. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:28, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm unable to find anything to substantiate the notability of this artist after an online search and an exhaustive WP Library resources/database search. The BEFORE only revealed a few auction house listings and a few works for sale from commercial galleries. (Note there is a notable water polo player with the same name, but that is a different person.) The article currently has one source for a name change he filed in 1902. There were three citations to FamilySearch which I removed as it is not considered a reliable source per WP:RSP. I have been unable to find any exhibition records, art reviews, museum collections, public art works or anything else that would contribute to an artist's notability. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST.

This article is a mess of OR and has been for some time. It consists almost entirely of a long polemical essay, with a list of political parties, all without a single citation or even a pretension to cite reliable sources. The external links are entirely to non-independent sources on Marxist websites. I tried searching for reliable sources on this subject, but couldn't find anything that wasn't from a Marxist website or magazine.

The previous AfD discussion resulted in a keep, conditional on the article being cleaned up. But 15 years have since passed and no clean up has occurred. As such I'm proposing that this article be deleted or redirected to a better-constructed article (maybe Revisionism (Marxism)?). Maybe someone can rebuild it better at a later date, but at minimum, I think this current iteration needs to be blown up and started over. Grnrchst (talk) 19:32, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Keep - this is clearly a notable phenomenon, and is by no means impossible to construe a good quality article with references. I pruned it to remove the whole essay. --Soman (talk) 11:58, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
    @Soman: Do you know of there being significant courage in independent reliable sources? Just asking because I couldn't find anything that wasn't from a Marxist publication. -- Grnrchst (talk) 11:34, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
    Yes, there is certainly material for expansion and referencing. And 'Marxist publication' is a very broad concept. As Anti-Revisionism isn't monopoly of a single organization, so 'independent' isn't really an issue. I'd have no problem using a Chinese equivalent of Great Soviet Encyclopedia to extract a definition of Anti-Revisionism, as long as the source is clearly attributed. --Soman (talk) 13:37, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
    Europe and China in the Cold War: Exchanges Beyond the Bloc Logic and the Sino-Soviet Split (pp. 93-97) has a chapter on emergence of anti-revisionism in Chinese interactions with Western Europe, but stops short of providing an encyclopedia definition of anti-revisionism. --Soman (talk) 14:08, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's a poor quality article that needs much work - not least to broaden the subject to cover Irish Republican anti-revisionism and Israeli anti-revisionism as well as "traditional" post-Khrushchev anti-revisionism, e.g. . There are plenty of WP:RS sources here, academic and otherwise. Fiachra10003 (talk) 22:27, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Keep It is an obscure political communist movement that was in vogue in the 1950's. Unfortunately the article is a mess and needs a proper rewrite. It been needing done for more than a decade but worth keeping until it can be researched and expanded. scope_creep 11:43, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Soman's edits have served to drastically improve the article from a long OR mess to a rather short but informative stub, backed by reliable sources. I'm still unconvinced that it's distinctly notable from the subject of revisionism, but that's a topic for a merge discussion, rather than an AfD. Anyways, my concerns when I raised this AfD have been addressed, so I'm no longer opposed to this article being kept. Nice work Soman. --Grnrchst (talk) 12:06, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
    • Many thanks Grnrchst. I think the anti-revisionist communist movement (encompassing CPC, PLA, their sympathizers and some others) is a distinct phenomenon, that is difficult to fit into the Revisionism (Marxism) article. Now two issues - on one hand 'revisionism' is a pejorative globally in the communist movement. No communist would admit to being a revisionist, and there have been several 'anti-revisionist campaigns' (like in early Soviet Union) that aren't exactly part of the post-Stalin anti-revisionism. I suggest drawing a hard line at 1953, including no stuff earlier than that. On the other hand, there are several other movements dubbed 'anti-revisionist' (Jewish, Irish, Balkans, etc..), which cannot be fitted in here. So at some point it might make sence to move the article to Anti-Revisionism (Marxism-Leninism) or Anti-Revisionism in the International Communist Movement after 1956 or something like that. --Soman (talk) 13:44, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

It is with a heavy heart I bring this to AfD. The whole list is not shown to be verifiable, the only citations being the viewing figures (and even then, only since 1998). The whole list is filled with original research, as shown by all of the trivial, unsourced footnotes. Everything I see goes right against core verifiability policies and I would love and hate to see it banished. If it can all be sourced then I'll be happy to withdraw this. But I simply cannot see that happening anytime soon; Dailymotion (itself virtually the same thing as WP:RSPYT in policy terms I guess) is not a source I would like to use; and yet in a quick search, that poor source appears the only thing to give the list any credence.

  • Keep The basic information of host and contestants is easily referenceable to British newspapers and TV guides. The show attracts a fair amount of press every series. Some of the content is more dubious - the scores are unlikely to be covered in reliable sources, and are more suited to a fansite. But just because some of it can't be referenced, doesn't mean the rest should go. Episode lists seem in principle to be considered important enough to keep based on repeated AfD and precedent, assuming basic info can be referenced, as here. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:37, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete per TNT and, if no additional sources exist, maybe GNG - there's no clear reason why we can't have a list of episodes (considering it is a valid article for other shows with sourcing), but the current sourcing is awful, and the format with the scores appears to violate original research.

The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:SINGER. She is still an up-and-coming artist who has released only two singles. None of her songs have charted on any country's official music chart or been critically reviewed. Majority of the sources cited in the article are a combination of press releases and primary sources, which aren't independent of her and cannot be used to establish notability.  Versace1608  18:06, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Has won or been nominated for a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.

  • Hi Indefensible, can you provide links to specific references (ideally pointing to para numbers too) that meet GNG/WP:NCORP criteria for establishing notability? HighKing 16:55, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
    Personally I think Bob Pattilo's article should not have been deleted, there might have been some coverage of this subject there as well. But coverage like this NextBillion article, Vox, TechCrunch, and Bloomberg. Like I said before there is some WP:PRIMARY material like quotes from the subject in the articles, but in my opinion the coverage is still independent and significant enough to support encyclopedic inclusion. For example the Vox article is not just regurgitating primary information from the subject, they are critiquing and providing their own analysis by saying things like "But I don’t think either is likely to happen." They are secondary at least from good sources which are considered reliable per WP:RSP, which should be enough. - Indefensible (talk) 17:58, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Thanks. Comments like the one you've highlighted is insufficient to meet ORGIND/CORPDEPTH in my opinion, it's only a sentence. I've assumed they're all WP:RS, etc, just looking specifically at NCORP criteria which I don't think they reach. HighKing 21:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
    Those 4 are full articles on the subject though, not just a passing sentence. I think it should be enough, the referencing still has room for improvement but my view is that Knowledge (XXG) is not going to be able to meet the goal of having available "the sum of all knowledge" if the standard is excessively high. - Indefensible (talk) 03:22, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
  • We don't look at the volume of articles or combine different articles together to form a whole. Take a look at WP:SIRS which says that *each* source must meet *all* the criteria. Can you point to a specific paragraph/section within any one of those four references where you can say that it meets NCORP? I've checked, in my opinion none do. Once you remove the information provided by the company, there's insufficient information remaining that you can say containg WP:CORPDEPTH WP:ORGIND "Independent Content". Whether the standard is "excessively high" or not is really an issue for consensus on guidelines. HighKing 10:04, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
    Disagree, as I wrote before if the standards are excessively high then Knowledge (XXG) cannot meet the goal in the vision statement. Excessive removal of information damages the encyclopedia. There is negative material like spam which should be removed, but not information like this. - Indefensible (talk) 15:04, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
  • That's fine, you're entitled to !vote however you like, just highlighting that your !vote is not in line with and goes against our guidelines. Your opinion is that this is information that enriches the encyclopedia. Consensus is that we've decided on guidelines in order to make such a decision, based on the existence of published in-depth "Independent Content" and not just regurgitated company-produced information. HighKing 15:38, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
    As I wrote above, the coverage is critiquing the subject and cannot be said to just be "regurgitating" promotional material. The articles should be considered secondary, not primary (there is additional primary stuff out there which I did not cite). I do not see this article to be advertising or promoting the subject, just providing coverage in an objective manner which is helpful to readers. If the consensus headed to deletion, then I will request the draft to continue improving on it. - Indefensible (talk) 16:00, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
You seem to wilfully ignoring consensus agreed policy, something I notice you seem to doing in several other Afd's, or more accurately willfully misunderstanding policy in a way that indicates WP:CIR, to satisfy some nebulous concept that you state in your user page. The coverage isn't critiquing the subject in any depth or in manner. All of it is PR and can't seem to recognise it. You don't seem to understand why the WP:PROMO policy exists in the first place, yet your appear in dozens of Afds stating the sames kinds of non-argument that ignore this very policy. I think it is a WP:CIR issue. scope_creep 18:18, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Article was created in 2007 and left without sources for 15 years. The only source I've been able to find that confirms the game exists at all is http://www.catsatcards.com/Games/Crossfire.html, but this anonymously curated card game site is not a reliable source, and has only existed since 2015 - it cites no sources itself, and (aside from their observation about a four player version being possible) may just be drawn from this Knowledge (XXG) article.

Whpq is correct though, notability for those in his field doesn't rest on the number of films he has worked on or the fact that he has retired. If that was true then we wouldn't have any articles on people who have died, either! It's about SIGCOV and apparently he hasn't received that yet. Liz 19:18, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Fails Knowledge (XXG):Notability (people). Based on his own Linkedin page, he received praise for Azhagu Kutti Chellam. For cinematographers to be notable, they should have sources or have worked on fifteen plus films (like other Tamil cinematographers). Furthermore, this guy retired. DareshMohan (talk) 15:35, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Delete - working on 15+ films or being retired are irrelevant to notability. What is needed is significant coverage about the person and none of the references provided represent significant coverage. Most are just providing a credit of him as cinematographer. The only refernce that provides even a smidge of coverage is this one and it is literally only one sentence. My own search for sources turns up nothing. -- Whpq (talk) 23:29, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Delete There have been so many drafts and moves and redirects in this mess that I've lost track. Which is not a reason to delete anything.

I cannot see the copy of the previous version of this article but I don't think that nothing much has changed since April, 2023. It is flooded with unreliable, music download websites thus fails the general notability guidelines. Also, be weary when reviewing the sources. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 12:13, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I hope this meets you well. In details i narrated my reason for re-creating this page to the users who nominated the previous page for deletion. Both of them gave me a go ahead saying I am free to recreate it if I'm sure the subject is notable and has been poorly represented as i claimed. The article was formerly created by a certain Hillsmedia, so I am unaware why it was deleted.
I agreed with the users on their decision to nominate the page for deletion as the subject was represented poorly and only as Mayolee, plus the article had multiple issues, from grammatical errors to non existent and repeated links. Some of the writing looked promotional as well and I related that to the users. However the subject only took just the name Mayolee last year when he released an album but has been known since 2013 by the names Oluwole/Mayo/Mayo MuziQ and now Mayolee. I am a Christian and I live in the same region as this subject, the songs Jesus (You Are Able) by Ada, Joy Overflow by Joe Praize and Way Maker by Sinach are quite popular and go to songs in churches both in Africa and around the world with sufficient evidences on Youtube. I found it inaccurate to say the record producer behind these songs is not notable as a Nigerian record producer, hence i took the time to consolidate in my article the major notable songs he's produced and every record he is being credited as producer. The afore deleted article only covered subject as Mayolee, which like i said was not enough.
In one of the comments, one of the users said the person is not notable because he only produced Way Maker, has one review on his album and tried to sue the artist, besides that nothing else. I found that kinda inaccurate because Way Maker is not just any song, all songs don't get to have a Knowledge (XXG) page.
I got to know of the subject when i was making a research on EndSars. I saw a reportage by DW News and one of the notable Nigerians interviewed is Mike Oluwole (https://www.dw.com/en/nigeria-marks-independence-in-shadow-of-endsars/video-59384511). I included the reportage on the End Sars wikipedia article and afterwards googled Mike/Michael Oluwole and the other two persons. As I searched for Mike Oluwole, my research led me to Oluwole/Mayo/Mayo MuziQ and Mayolee. This is the reason i decided to create a page for this subject as i was surprised he is behind some of the most popular christian songs out of Nigeria.
In my conclusion, the difference - i would say - between this page and the one that got deleted is that this page is able to establish that the subject didn't only produce Way Maker by Sinach, He produced Jesus (You are able) by Ada and Joy Overflow by Joe Praize which are notably popular Christian songs out of Nigeria, and to the effect i do believe qualifies him as one of Nigeria's notable record producers.
Also I am new around here on wikipedia and realised that i made a big mistake not knowing i should send this article to more experienced editors to look at it and guide. So, I am more than happy to be guided on how this works from a more 'experienced level". Thank you! Tifesheldon (talk) 19:48, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
@Tifesheldon, a thousand and one articles interviewing the subject is not independent. Reliable? Yes. Independent? No. That’s all. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 03:46, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
I see what you mean…doesn’t equal independent truly. My reason howbeit for looking for any and everything song this subject is credited on as producer was because I thought if editors could see how much he’s done alongside the notable pieces of music he’s produced, they might understand why i believe he’s notable. Not because I thought the more citations the better, definitely not. Just didn’t know better as a new wikipedia editor.
Another thing I like to bring forward is the fact that the media will not give much attention to behind the scene creatives like engineers and producers, except these creatives have a paid PR team. It’s safe to say that even most ‘notable’ artists have paid PR team who interface with news media and all. So the issue of reliability/independent source is still subjective to an extent.
Creatives like record producers, mix and mastering engineers don’t get as much media coverage as the artists they collaborate with, and truth is most of them don’t even think it’s necessary. They just focus on more work and more credit.
I think editors should consider notable works and a fair amount of reliable/independent media sources for creatives like engineers and record producers. I definitely believe this subject is notable, as one of the music he produced has gained global notability with several records to show for it, alongside that he has produced other notable songs which i tagged in my first comment. I think those with a fair reliable/independent media sources, his page should not be deleted. Tifesheldon (talk) 12:44, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
@Tifesheldon, do you firmly believe he is notable even when I’m proven those sources (save for The Guardian are interviews? Or do you wish for it to be draftified and accepted via AfC when it meets the criteria for inclusion? Best, Reading Beans (talk) 13:23, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
I just took time to read the Knowledge (XXG):Reliable sources and Knowledge (XXG):Notability and i perfectly get what you me by independent sources. Thank you @Reading Beans . I am happy for you to move it to draft. As time goes on, if i find such sources about the subject, I'll include them in the article. Thank you! Tifesheldon (talk) 16:47, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

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

Article about a photograph, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for artworks. As always, every photograph is not automatically entitled to a Knowledge (XXG) article just because it exists, but has to show that it's been the subject of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about it to establish its significance -- but this literally just says that the photograph exists, and is referenced solely to a catalogue entry on the self-published website of the museum that holds it (which is not support for notability at all) and a brief glancing namecheck of its existence in an obituary of its photographer (which isn't enough coverage to single-handedly vault this over GNG all by itself if it's all this has). And the French and Spanish interlangs (both of which were also created within the past three days by the same editor who imported it here) are both also based entirely on the exact same two sources, so there's nothing else that can be pulled over to improve this with.
I'm certainly willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to archived French or Spanish media coverage than I've got can find enough to salvage this, but just existing isn't "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have considerably more and better referencing than this.

Renominating after restoring this from soft delete per WP:REFUND. In addition to the GNG/NACTOR issues brought up at the previous AFD, I'm adding that this is an AUTOB. UtherSRG (talk) 18:15, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Keep. The article includes reliable sources and meets the criteria for general notability as Raider has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, and stage performances. He's also notable for being co-artistic director of a theater with James Roday Rodriguez who himself was lead on 2 very successful TV shows that ran many seasons. Without an article it is not clear who Rodriguez partnered with for his theater company.

  • Delete The only substantial sources that I found (Ph.Inquirer and VoyageLA, both in the sources) are primarily interviews. Looking at IMDB, he's mainly done indie films, none of which have made it big, and has had non-starring parts in a few movies and TV shows, although there was one TV show in 2000 (The Trouble With Normal) where he had an ensemble role, but the show was panned and it only lasted one season. There may be movie sources I have missed, so I will check back, but this seems to a working actor but not one that meets GNG. Lamona (talk) 03:55, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NEVENT, and is unsourced. I couldn't find any sources for the article. I had previously placed a PROD, which was removed and replaced with another malformed PROD.

Delete for the reasons in my PROD: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NEVENT. During a WP:BEFORE I found absolutely no sources.

Fails WP:NEVENT. No lasting impact, was resolved very soon after the incident. All sources say the same thing, so the coverage, albeit present in various news outlets, is not in-depth or diverse. Anarchyte (talk) 04:43, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Delete, I tend to take the same view when it comes to similarly tragic news reports, however sad, that ultimately fail WP:NOTNEWS. Although being too soon to determine if there will be any lasting impact or notability, early indications wouldn't suggest anything other than present coverage only. It's usually common practice to wait a little while longer though before nominating. Bungle 06:25, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Keep: This is not just a random road accident in India that occurs every day. The accident resulted in the death of 25 people. It is one of the worst bus accidents in the Maharashtra state in the recent years making it a significant event. According to WP:EVENTCRITERIA and WP:COVERAGE, events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards. The accident was widely covered across all the major national medias. It was even analysed and discussed on the sunday special edition of some newspapers. Accidents resulting in the death toll of double digit number is considered as a significant event. Passes our WP:EVENT criteria. Thilsebatti (talk) 07:30, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Keep !voters are incorrectly counting primary sources toward coverage and incorrectly presenting the number of casualties as a factor toward notability. This fails WP:LASTING as it has yet to produce any independently notable effects, and it fails WP:GEOSCOPE as it has not had a demonstrable long-term impact on a significant region of the world or a significant widespread societal group. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 14:18, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
This passes WP:LASTING. See the latest report . The Maharashtra Motor Vehicle Department has requested the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) to conduct a thorough review of the design and safety measures implemented in sleeper coach buses. The move came after the last week's horrific tragedy on the Samruddhi Expressway where a sleeper coach bus caught fire causing the death of 25 passengers. This is a lasting effect enough to pass WP:LASTING. Also refer to . Another report published yesterday. 117.254.35.28 (talk) 08:54, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete - There are 7k results so there's certainly a lot of traction with this however as pointed out above there's been no global coverage apart from AlJazeera. It's caused a storm in India for sure but outside of India there's not been nothing. Fails NOTNEWS and to some extent WP:LASTING. –Davey2010 20:08, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
Totally disagree with you. Why are we talking about global coverage when we have more than enough national coverage. WP:EVENTCRITERIA says national or international. But to satisfy you, let me add more international coverage. What about these from Reuters and The Guardian , . Random crashes in India are often not covered by Al Jazeera, Reuters, or The Guardian because they don't generally care. This accident was well covered in major Indian newspapers such as The Hindu and The Indian Express. These newspapers even had special coverage about this accident;discussing its cause and after effects. What I feel here is that it is not possible to have article about an event in wikipedia unless it is covered in some western medias. I have already shown coverage from 3 international publications. I think it is more than enough to keep this article 117.254.35.28 (talk) 08:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Keep - Both the Guardian and Reuters didn't show at that time otherwise I would've !voted keep, I certainly agree with your points and had mentioned that above re traction. My understanding is that there should be more than just WP:LOCAL coverage however in this case as you've kindly proven there is indeed national coverage so I'm happy to keep this.

    This was broadly the view I expressed above, in that it's usually common to wait a little while before nominating these kind of articles. Typically it seems these articles are kept because the event "may" become notable in time, although we are asked to !vote on whether the subject of an article is notable right now. Bungle 17:02, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Ah, yes, indeed there is — thanks Blaylockjam10 for pointing out WP:RAPID, which I hadn't seen deployed at AfD till now.

  • The writer, Matthew Herper, is listed as "former staff" not "contributor" ("contributor" is a WP:FORBESCON red flag) but does he count as "staff" (that's a WP:FORBES flag). Presumably he's trusted like staff.
  • Herper's LinkedIn page indicates good credentials and a solid journalistic career. Nothing about doing PR type writing.
  • Herper appears on this whitelist of reliable Forbes editors at Knowledge (XXG) talk:Reliable sources/Perennial sources/Archive 2#Forbes
  • Herper articles are cited as references for at least 100 of our articles.
  • The URL does not start with "forbes.com/sites" -- a sign of Forbes.com "contributor" articles
  • The article gives in-depth profiles of multiple women so this is not a sponsored article.
  • Siefert is tied for 3rd place on the list.
    • The article says "Rankings according to Market Guide" (who or what is "Market Guide"?), although the profile is by Herper.
    • Nevertheless, whoever compiled them, the rankings appear very reasonable based on who was who in 2002.
I'm inclined to rate the Forbes article as reliable and in-depth. Combined with the Knowledge (XXG) Library stuff, I believe Siefert meets WP:BASIC and, due to her high Forbes ranking and listing on the Fortune list, also meets WP:ANYBIO.
--A. B. 04:53, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
My understanding of "former staff" is "was staff at the time he wrote the article", which means the article gets the full Forbes backing. The whole "Forbes contributor" system wasn't introduced until 2010, so it cannot be a concern for ths article. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 05:52, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Prob Delete - it is hard to find sources that meet the WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR when the person concerned is mostly known for self-publishing books. Also there appear to be several other people with the same name which complicates searching for sources. With regard to the comments above; Goodreads is not a RS. Bookseller catalogues do not count towards notability. Self published blogs are not independent, so I think we can dismiss all of those. Possibly The Skinny counts towards the GNG, but we would need to look a bit deeper into it. JMWt (talk) 11:50, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

  • Weak delete I did find some intriguing mentions of this author NY Times, Smart Cities. I only found these, however, because I searched on his name and the book title "Finitude" because there are other folks with his same name who are more well-known.

I noticed this article due to it being discussed on WP:FTN. This article may have originally had some merit, but regardless it has been shaped by SPAs and IP users into a frankly terrible article that presents a fringe perspective as fact by selectively cherry picking sources. I don't really see any way to resolve this other than to apply a heavy dose of WP:TNT. As mentioned at WP:FTN, I think the "In popular culture" section could be moved to a separate "Second American civil war in fiction" article, but the rest of the article is imo irredeemable. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:26, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

  • Delete: I’d concur with the separation of an “in-fiction” section, but the article as a whole seems a bit redundant and fear-mongery. PeacockShah (talk) 02:45, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment. Oh no. 964kB, most of it some form of WP:SYNTH, WP:CRYSTAL, WP:OR, WP:REFBOMB... but it seems to me that before TNT is invoked we might attempt to cut out the most unfixable sections? The entire "remarks" section should probably be tossed, to start... -- asilvering (talk) 02:54, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Leaning delete, but note: If any part of this is kept and moved, the edit history must be retained per the WP:GFDL. I don't think the entirety of the article should or can be deleted, but there is certainly a great deal of problematic content that should be cleared out. BD2412 T 02:57, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete: WP:NOT - First of all, we already have Second American Revolution. The one linked above seems more like an on-going saga of current events as they crop up. But what we have now is television spoon feeding it to us everyday. The separate events have their own articles if they're worthy of writing about. As attention-getting as the individual news outlets pull the audience one direction or another, I counter that much of the 1960's - if not the entire decade - was much more violent, with assassinations of political leaders in the United States. There were the Weather Underground and other groups bombing buildings and institutions. Second American Civil War is excess of what Knowledge (XXG) is already covering in individual articles. — Maile (talk) 03:18, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
    Add to my own concerns about how something like this could be subject to input from factions who want to manipulate the public. This article looks like it's crafted that way. When I see the evening news on any TV station, MSNBC, CNN, FOX, any of them - they pounce on anything related to this subject matter, any event that happened that day, is the sole topic of the day-week-month spoon fed to their viewers. They just twist and reword the day's events to their specific audiences. Which whips the public into a furor of their particular political stance. Anybody can vote here, anybody - or IP - can say they are anybody. The big networks are paid to keep things whipped up like that. Let's keep Knowledge (XXG) neutral ... and this article really isn't that. — Maile (talk) 18:26, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete A serious offence against WP:CRYSTAL and really, the thing reads like a rather bad version of the kind of speculative analysis published in the likes of The Atlantic. Mangoe (talk) 04:36, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete: While the idea of a Second American Civil War is notable, almost all of its article's content is a violation of our policies regarding fringe theories and news-related content. It needs to be completely destroyed so that it can be rebuilt. Considering the nature of the topic, this problem needs to be resolved quickly. Of course, the fictional depictions of the event should have their own article, as it is a reoccurring motif in fiction. ―Susmuffin  14:29, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
    I concur, as while there are some parts of the article that have merit (i.e. attempts to overturn the 2020 election or voter suppression, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and political polarization), but they have their own thorough articles. I'm not as familiar with violent far-right movements (i.e. the Groypers, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, or some far-right individuals) but they're lone wolf actors in my opinion.
    The article has lost relevance after the 2022 midterms (including Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization) and Trump's indictments not setting off mass riots or violence in the U.S. even comparable to the 2020 racial justice protests. The 2024 election and Trump's indictments have their own pages. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 01:31, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete Seems like SYNTH, trying to link many items together to push a certain narrative. Events in the post 1865 era aren't connected to Donald Trump... Oaktree b (talk) 15:12, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
And the April Fool's deletion was actually on the mark, not CRYSTAL. Oaktree b (talk) 19:09, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Keep. The concept is coherent and there is significant in-depth coverage in reliable sources. How can there possibly be reliably sourced content about an event that hasn’t happened and might never happen? Quite easily: the prospects, fears, potential causes, avoidance mechanisms and impact are all discussed in multiple mainstream sources. CRYSTAL is about editors’ own speculations. If sources and the media at large are speculating, that speculation can be notable. Compare to World War III or Kessler syndrome. The article in its current state does have NPOV issues. There’s a lot of wishful thinking(?). It needs a good prune. Many parts could be merged into Political polarization in the United States. But that’s all cleanup. Barnards.tar.gz (talk) 22:50, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Keep. I do feel that a substantial effort to remake this article is more worth it than starting all the way back from square one. Even with the egregious policy violations in mind, I highly—yet just as respectfully—disagree that this article is nearly or completely irredeemable and that it should thusly be completely destroyed, even if to rebuild it later. I have many points, but for brevity's sake I will list out only a few; even if this article does get demolished, I would at the very least like to mention the following points if it'll help to improve and enhance the existing article or for its next "life." For one, the very presence of a political science research section ("Research regarding a second civil war") in this article as it pertains to the topic at hand is a good mainstay. In my opinion, only citing mainstream news articles about this topic would leave the article half-cooked, as many of such news articles oftentimes don't go very in-depth, sometimes even those involving interviews with experts in democracy, civil war, and/or in-general political violence. As relatively rare and hard-to-find as such research on this topic still is—understandably so—I think the sourcing and in-general structure of these sections can be improved. It also doesn't help that this very topic is largely still—and could just as well indefinitely remain —in its speculative phase, but I digress.
Another point that I wanted to mention and expand upon was the article's references of right-wing radicalization within the U.S. Military, as it pertains to this topic. The section(s) about the January 6 United States Capitol attack and how it interplays with the previous point and the topic itself, should also remain. I do agree with putting at least some of those polarization-related aspects into the Political polarization in the United States article that aren't already there.
And finally, I also agree with the suggestions of a meaningful shapeup of this article as, among various other reasons: the flow is off-putting; the excessive back-and-forth of "X said '___', but then Y said '___'"; and the continuous adding of recent political events, with their various degrees of relevance, has become a bit excessive. 68.134.238.132 (talk) 02:18, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete Too much speculation (i.e., predatory publishing) and original research. There are also a lot of forced analogies, like that with the Years of Lead in Italy. As usual, it is an incomprehensible article for a general public, moreover, right-wing libertarians (and related realities: sovereign citizens, the Tenther movement, and anarcho-capitalists) always come out clean. One cannot seriously talk about the militia movement without mentioning these ideologies and positions.--93.45.229.98 (talk) 10:49, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete The whole article is mostly speculations and gossip. Obviously, Wiki is WP:NOTGOSSIP and not WP:FUTURE. Grahaml35 (talk) 19:30, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment I think there are really, functionally, three articles here. 1) There's the "reinterpretations" section, which details the use of the term "Second American Civil War" to describe or re-frame historical conflicts. Then 2) there's the speculative section, which covers speculation about either a potentially impending civil war, or an already-happening "cold civil war." Finally, there's 3) fictional depictions of America undergoing a second civil war. I think sections 1 and 3 might have some value, but 2- by some distance the largest- is worthless, as it's a big compilation of predictions and analyses from a million different angles, synthesized with more or less related information, and falls afoul of WP:SYNTH, WP:CRYSTAL, WP:OR, etc. If an actual generally-recognized civil war breaks out, maybe parts of it would be useful for a "Background to the Second American Civil War" article, but right now, it's junk. The solution I'd favor would be to purge the speculation/synthesis stuff, and then split this into two articles: one on the historical and contemporary use of the term/idea "Second American Civil War," covering the historic use of the term, and the idea and term as used by contemporary historians to reinterpret past events (the Coal Wars and Business Plot sections need better sources, though); and the other on notable fiction depicting imaginary Second American Civil Wars.

  • Keep: Anyone who thinks a Second American Civil War is less likely than the Potential breakup of the United Kingdom or Hypothetical dissolution of the Russian Federation hasn't spent very much time here since Trump was elected 7 years ago. Every morning as I commute to my office I drive past a sign in front of a veterinary hospital announcing "Eighty-one million votes, my a$$." People can tell themselves the election was stolen for only so long before they decide it is their duty to kill everyone who voted for the "wrong" candidate because those people outnumber people like them.Amyzex (talk) 16:19, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
Keep: The article for World War III, another hypothetical future conflict is well-established. The concept of a second civil war is well-established in pop culture, in recent journalism coverage, in political polling, etc.
I would suggest parts of the article being edited down (it seems excessively large and detailed for a hypothetical situation) to be more in line with World War III, but full-scale deletion is unnecessary and risks occluding the frequent coverage of the scenario in media.

  • I'll chime in for a strong delete. Despite the care many editors have put in, this article has grown into something that does not belong in Knowledge (XXG). It may be possible to write an article with this title or a similar one after WP:TNT. But the current state is a nightmare of WP:UNDUE, WP:FALSEBALANCE, WP:SYNTH, WP:CRYSTAL, and so on. To build upon what other editors have said, I think there are at least 5 distinct articles here. I'm not sure which of them would be worth including in the encyclopedia.
    1. A "fictional depictions" one - those have no place in this article, as they're not depictions of "this" hypothetical event.
    2. A "historical events that have been considered a second civil war". There may already be a good article on this but can't find it, but this section in this article adds a level of WP:SYNTH.
    3. A "Documented attempts at igniting a civil war" one. This may be WP:SYNTH depending on how it's been covered in reputable sources and scholarly research.
    4. A "2023 American political climate" one that might include the "cold civil war" or "Troubles-like-era" topics. This seems to be promising as there's a decent amount of sourcing for it because it can focus on secondary sources' descriptions and analysis of actual events.
    5. A "How a war might start and happen" one. Runs into WP:CRYSTAL problems but there may be reliable sources to pull from.
To reiterate, I'm not actually advocating for any specific article to be included here, just pointing out how many different topics have been squeezed into this article. —siroχo 07:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
This is a very good summary of the problem. -- asilvering (talk) 11:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
I tend to agree with your summary; there might be talk of such an event, but I don't think it's ever been serious enough. Oaktree b (talk) 15:08, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment An excellent post indeed, @Siroxo
In my opinion, perhaps the best path forward is a mix of subjects 3, 4, and 5 - of course, without yet again running afoul of said rules mentioned throughout this dicussion.
The topic as a hypothetical scenario is indeed notable enough to primarily feature those 3 subjects in its (next?) article. Some background information (this time with a not-too-lengthy discussion of only the most relevant current events (such as the 1/6/2021 insurrectionist self-coup)) as well as political science research on the United States' contemporary polarization crisis (I.E.: to help the reader to understand the "whats" and "whys" of such an article) would make for a much-improved article framework, as this topic--again, as a hypothetical future scenario--is no longer of the groundless, reality-defying variety often disseminated from the fringes of the internet. ...Depressingly enough.
I am still stumped on the potential placement of the historical claims aspect of this article; framing it as both a historical "in-hindsight" past event AND as a hypothetical future one at the same time and in the same article was/is...a bit much in my opinion.

  • Keep - I just added one source, which was pretty easy to find. A glance through, looks like there is probably sourcing for all of this, including each of the books listed. The problem is that whoever created this didn't do that, or maybe never even knew it was a requirement. The creating editor has this sub page User:Danielonthehudson/sandbox that indicates they were just a student working on this in 2019.

Not notable under WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD. Historical significance (as mentioned in the deprod edit summary by User:Necrothesp) needs to be demonstrated through significant coverage in reliable sources. The coverage that I could find on this church did not extend beyond trivial database entries. Actualcpscm (talk) 17:58, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

  • Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD. Necrothesp's contesting of a PROD without giving any evidence as to the notability of the church and with a basis of "historic church, poor article" leaves a poor impression, in my opinion. JML1148 00:01, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
    • You and the nominator clearly misunderstand the usage of WP:PROD, which is only for uncontroversial deletion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:22, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
      I don't think this is an issue of misusing PROD; I didn't reasonably expect anyone to object to deletion of this article. The fact that someone did object doesn't indicate anything wrong per se. I think JML1148 would have preferred more detailed reasoning for the objection, which is always nice. But of course PROD can be objected to for any reason or without reason, nobody is contesting that. It says that quite explicitly in multiple places. Actualcpscm (talk) 10:41, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
      I have a very similar line of reasoning. I was not expecting the PROD to be contested, and I was expecting a more detailed policy-based explaination when the PROD was removed. JML1148 07:23, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
      Prodding is increasingly overused for articles that should be taken to AfD. Only blatant rubbish should be prodded, not articles on historic buildings and the like. It's not a way to get round taking articles to a proper AfD discussion. It's for articles on topics that aren't worth our time. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:34, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

And that is precisely why one should not assume the deletion of articles about historic buildings is uncontroversial and why they should therefore never be prodded. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:14, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
    This structure is not "officially assigned the status of cultural heritage or national heritage, or of any other protected status on a national level", as set out by WP:GEOFEAT. It is a classified historic structure, just like (quote from link above): "all Colonial Churches and other Houses of Worship". This is not one of the categories listed in the guideline that Necrothesp refers to, nor is it a "protected status on a national level" for the purposes of this guideline. All this classification means is that it's recognised as a house of worship or colonial church, it does not imply significance or protection (as far as I can tell).
    There is also a second requirement of that WP:GEOFEAT criterion: "for which verifiable information beyond simple statistics is available". There doesn't seem to be any such information, neither here in the discussion nor in the current version of the article. The map Necrothesp linked to only lists its location and the legal basis of classification.
    For these two (distinct) reasons, GEOFEAT doesn't apply to this church. I agree that articles about historic buildings are important and should usually not be proposed for deletion, but nothing here establishes the historic significance of the church, and I don't think that every church has inherent historic significance.

    You've explained it better then I ever could have. In addition, if the church was to be a site of "cultural heritage or national heritage", it could be argued that it still fails WP:GEOFEAT due to a combination of the second part (I could not find anything about the church besides basic statistics) and the fact that the church only has a heritage listing because it is lumped in with all other colonial churches.

    I've added two sources to the article that provide far more than basic statistics. And it clearly meets WP:GEOFEAT, despite the efforts to claim it does not. As would most other 18th century churches in most other countries with proper heritage listing. I am frankly mystified why there is such enthusiasm from a couple of editors to delete this article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:34, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
    Thank you for the source additions. IMO the second source seems to be basic statistics. The first source has a good amount of information, however it is an official website. I think Actualcpscm has done a very good job at explaining that it is recognised as a historic structure, but is not classified as cultural or national heritage. JML1148 00:18, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

According to the spreadsheet I downloaded at the "Download the Local Inventory of Cultural Property" link, this church's description by the Philippine Registry of Cultural Property is:
"Declared as a Municipal Historical Landmark by virtue of Ordinance No. 05-2019, "Ordinance Declaring the Most Holy Rosary Parish Church as Municipal Historical Landmark and Providing Measures for its Conservation."
"The church was burned twice during the American-Fil war and Japanese occupation. Some parts of its structure, particularly the bell tower were also destroyed because of previous earthquake"
The authorizing ordnance was issued by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Padre Garcia city.
The church's "official Filipino name" is "Parokya ng Santisimo Rosaryo"
Searching for "Parokya ng Santisimo Rosaryo", I found there was an at least a mention somewhere in an August 2018 issue of The Varsitarian, a campus newspaper, but I don't understand the Tagalog language. That was all I found.

  • Delete - I can't fault A. B.'s analysis above which confirms the view expressed earlier by two editors that this fails WP:GEOFEAT, and that it also fails WP:NBUILDING. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:32, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment. While it does appear that it is not nationally protected, it is locally protected and appears to pass WP:GNG, so I maintain that it is notable. Also remember that just because the current building may not be that old doesn't mean the church itself doesn't have a long history. -- Necrothesp (talk) 07:36, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete, I think. I feel that I may be missing something, but I don't see any third-party sources in the article or in this discussion (apart from the above-referenced spreadsheet), nor am I able to locate any myself. I'm surprised that a church that has been through this much wouldn't have some nontrivial coverage (and I agree with Necrothesp that previous church structures would properly be part of the same encyclopedic topic). But we can only work with what we have, and I'm not seeing anything that would come close to clearing either the GNG or any relevant SNG. -- Visviva (talk) 01:00, 6 July 2023 (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. Liz 02:31, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Pure WP:OR article. Sure, these two entities were in conflict (more than once in fact), but scholarship does not designate it under this name. I guess WP:NHISTORY and WP:GNG applies here. HistoryofIran (talk) 00:54, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
