Portland and Western 1853

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

Article fails GNG. There are three unique references. Two are simply lists that mention the locomotive without any SIGCOV. The third source is a SELFPUB blog that also lacks SIGCOV (part of what the source is used to verify is actually referencing a reply to the linked blog post). This is a non-notable train article by an IP who has used multiple GAMING and socking tactics across multiple drafts and AfDs. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:09, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

- Actually you probably think that way because the creator made it look like that! for example she never played for the national team, which is written in this article supposedly supported by 4 references but if you check them one by one, none of them mentions that. from what I checked she is just an assistant coach (not even the head coach) in a non-notable league.

Abington, Louisiana

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

This article has been unsourced since 2015, and I cannot find evidence of notability as it's not even listed on GNIS. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 22:29, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Delete No sources, no article. All I could find are junk SEO content farm sites, most of which probably get their content from Knowledge (XXG). WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 00:15, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
It's U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Abington, Louisiana. But that is not reliable. Plus the sock-puppet accounts including Futurewiki (talk · contribs) have quite a set of now-deleted bad Louisiana (and Texas) "unincorporated community" articles, and has made a habit of never citing a single source. This is not worth the time to even investigate. This isn't even a competent GNIS importer. Effectively this is a zero-context article. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 01:15, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Delete A quick look for sources turns up a few mentions of Abington as a place name, but nothing substantial, and there's next to nothing at the site now. If someone eventually finds sources in a place I didn't look, I wouldn't be opposed to recreation, but there's no use keeping an unsourced one-sentence article if we can't find them now. TheCatalyst31 19:13, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Delete In general, as above, found a few usages of "Abington" as a place name, but nothing substantial enough to indicate any notability as a populated place. Searching can get confused because one of the geologists, who has published research on the Red River is named Dr. Abington.

1. Google Earth - location in the middle of Red River Parish currently lacking any sign of populated place at the junction of Abbington Lane and Louisiana Hwy. 1.

2. The 1948 Coushatta 1:62,500, USGS topographic map shows loose cluster of four buildings marked "Abington" at above interesection. The 1957 Coushatta 1:62,500, USGS topographic map shows intersection still marked as "Abington" with only two buildings. The 1980 Harmon 1:24,000, USGS topographic map still has interesction marked as "Abington" and shows none of the buildings remaining.

3. Soil map, sheet 11, of the "Soil Survey of Red River Parish" by the Soil Conservation Service (1980) shows the above intersection marked as "Abington" with no buildings evident in the aerial photography. Go see Soil Survey of Allen Parish, Louisiana. and Internet Archive PDF file.

4. The 1948, 1:62,500, Red River Parish geological map in "Geology of De Soto and Red River Parishes" by the Louisiana Geological Survey also marks the junction of Abbington Lane and Louisiana Hwy. 1 as "Abington." Abington is mentioned a few times in the discussion of the geomorphology of the Red River in "Geology of De Soto and Red River Parishes" as a trivial point of reference.

5. Found, but could not access: Nichols, R.R., 1941. Locating neighborhoods and communities in Red River Parish, Louisiana.

Mount Zion, Red River Parish, Louisiana

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

This article has remained unsourced since 2013. I cannot find evidence that this is a notable place as it's not even included in GNIS. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 22:27, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Delete Even valueless sites like Hometown Locator don't have anything about this place. I can find (low-quality) references to a Mount Zion in Linn Parish, but nothing about this place. Delete, complete waste of space. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 00:21, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
I found the GNIS record: U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Mount Zion, Red River Parish, Louisiana But since (a) this is the product of a sock-puppeteer with a bad track record of (being gradually deleted) fact-free GNIS imports, and (b) the GNIS record says that this is from "The Greater Slidell Area Chamber of Commerce City Map" when Slidell, Louisiana is on the other side of the state making this look like an extreme GNIS error, or a highly erroneous map; any attempt to salvage this is an utter waste of our time. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 00:47, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Delete per Uncle G; the entries sourced to local Chamber of Commerce, real estate, etc. maps are some of the least reliable in the GNIS. TheCatalyst31 19:34, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Delete - Google Earth shows nothing. Old United States Geological Survey maps going back to 1935 show nothing other than an isolated Mount Zion Church on the highway out in the country. --A. B. 05:13, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
The coordinates pointed to the place in Winn County, but there is not much more at the Red River Parish location - a church and a cemetery, a few buildings nearby but not anything to verify this as a populated place. Peter James (talk) 17:42, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Cyanimide

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

PRODded by me after Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry#Cyanimide due to an evident lack of a consistent usage for this term in the literature, but it was dePRODded by Kvng (talk · contribs) citing WP:NOTCLEANUP. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 21:58, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Delete. The simplest compound of that type, according to the article, would be the dimethyl derivative but Chemspider calls this dimethylcyanamide, which I agree with. Chemspider has no hit for "cyanimide", although that's not definitive. Pubchem gives just one hit for "cyanimide", which is a synonym for N-cyanoformamide. The only reference previously in the article only contains the term "cyanoimide". I conclude that there is no such set of compounds as cyanimides. Mike Turnbull (talk) 22:11, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Delete. I agree with what Mike Turnbull says. However, I might be persuaded to change my mind if anyone can come up with some sources to indicate that this term is used in practice. Web of Science yields about 17 references, most of them old or very old, but there is one recent one from a respected journal: J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 142 (39) 16825–16841 (2020) Athel cb (talk) 10:03, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
That doi:10.1021/jacs.0c07726 (open access) looks like a wonderful example of citeogenesis to me. They repeatedly use cyanimide in their text but the citation #27, for example, uses cyanamide in its title. By 2020, the Knowledge (XXG) article created in 2005 would be the top search engine hit for cyanimide! Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:46, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
A Google ngram confirms that cyanamide is overwhelmingly more common than cyanimide. Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:00, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Then rather than deleting, wouldn't it better to redirect this title to cyanamide? ~Kvng (talk) 16:18, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

OK, provided {{R from misspelling}} is used and the hatnote at cyanamide is removed. The Wiktionary term (see below) is IMO also a misspelling. Mike Turnbull (talk) 14:35, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Redirect to Cyanamide. It seems cyanamide is the simplest form of cyanimide, where both R groups are a single hydrogen atom, so the two terms aren't identical, even if they are used interchangeably by some sources. Either way, what we have here right now is nothing more than a DICDEF, which already exists on Wiktionary. Owen× ☎ 22:26, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Redirect to Cyanamide as most uses in literature appear to be a mistake for this. The possible meaning as >C=NC≡N is only in one reference. I think we need to kill off the Wiktionary entry as well. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:32, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

There's not nothing, but I'm not finding coverage that would meet NARTIST. I get a lot of hits for his 2019 solo exhibition (the most complete of which is this one), a full length critical essay about his works (here, unsure about RS status: this site appears self-published, but it could easily have been lifted from a real source), and his CV. Meanwhile reference two in the article is bogus, not about the subject at all, but doesn't support any prose. And I get that deletion isn't cleanup, but this article needs a fundamental rewrite not to read like an advertisement.

Another unsourced-but-actually-from-GNIS article. GNIS's source is "The Greater Slidell Area Chamber of Commerce City Map" (1988) but old enough topos show this as "Benard".

Delete 1. Searched Google Earth and found no roads, buildings, or other infrastructure indicative of a populated place at given location of Bernard, Louisiana.

Place name absent from 1961, Oberlin, LA 1:62,500 scale USGS topographic map and 1986, Oberlin, LA 1:24,000 scale USGS topographic maps. No sign of infrastructure indicative of a populated place shown by either maps.

3. SCS soil map - Looked at soil map on sheet 37 of "Soil Survey of Allen Parish, Louisiana" by the Soil Conservation Service (1980). It lacks any text, symbology, and visible infrastructure (roads and buildings) indicative of a populated place. Go see Soil Survey of Allen Parish, Louisiana. and Internet Archive PDF file.

Bel, Louisiana

More likely it is where the Bel Oil company drilled for oil in Clear Creek in Allen Parish in the 1950s and 1960s, or some other Bel-related thing that happened to get dotted before GNIS phase 1. Ironically, we could probably have an article on J. A. Bel/John Albert Bel and his turn of the 20th century lumber business, and later Estate and Oil companies. There are at least 2 paywalled biographies out there that can be used to start such an article off. But this isn't it, or even the beginnings of it.
The article creating account is a sockpuppet of 123lilbrad (talk · contribs), by the way, who gave us quite a few "unincorporated community"s over several accounts and whose contributions were generally substandard, to put it mildly. There is quite a lot of deleted GNIS rubbish in the accounts's deleted edits already.

The 1952, 1:62,500, geologic map in "Geology of Beauregard and Allen Parishes" by Holland, W.C., Hough, L.W., and Murray, G.E. (Louisiana Geological Survey) shows a place on US 190 named "Bel" at the given coordinates west of Reeves, Louisiana. Unlike Reeves, this map does not show any streets associated with it. Bel is shown as just a name on a map. This publication also makes reference to Bel Oil Corporation and a few of their oil and gas wells.

In the historic archives of newspapers.com, there are about 3,347 matches for "Bel" in Allen Parish County, Louisiana, in the "Oakdale Journal" and "Kinder Progress."

Nezpique, Louisiana

A name added from a soil conservation map for reasons unclear, as no map or aerial shows more than some random houses and such along the road.

This one is truly ridiculous GNIS mess rubbish. It's a bayou, and we had it at Bayou Nezpique for half a decade before the GNIS importers came along. I can even guess what the map referred to in the GNIS record is. It is likely the Atlas of River Basins of the United States published by the USDA Soil Conservation Service in 1963 with a 2nd edition in 1970. That will be what "Soil Conservation Service, Bureau of Soils, Soils maps; various edition dates" is. A map of river basins had Bayou Nezpique in it, which is totally unsurprising; and thanks to a GNIS comedy of errors, here we are fixing rubbish 60 years later. Uncle G (talk) 20:20, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Delete A search for sources turns up plenty related to Bayou Nezpique and nothing related to a community by the same name. This is either a GNIS error or a barely-verifiable locale, but either way it's not notable. TheCatalyst31 19:26, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Delete. As happened in the previous comments, I searched the USGS topographic map viewer, Google Earth, JSTOR, and so forth and found nothing for "Nezpique," except the hits for "Bayou Nezpique." I looked through Geology of Acadia and Jefferson Davis Parishes, (Louisiana Geological Survey) and found nothing for a settlement called "Nezpique" either in it or on its maps and text. Paul H. (talk) 19:01, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Comment One habit by Dr. E. W. Hilgard, a geologist who published various widely read reports on the geology of Louisiana in the late 1800's that I found confusing was his habit to omit either "bayou" or "creek" when discussing Bayou Nezpique. As a result, there are places in hiss report that simply mention Bayou Nezpique as "the Nezpique" or "Nezpique" and making it ambigous as what he is refering to. Possibly someone misread one of Hilgard's references to "Nezpique" as refering to a settlement instead of a bayou. Paul H. (talk) 01:33, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Comment 2 I looked at the Soil Conservation Service soil maps on sheets no. 10 and 15 of "Soil Survey of Acadia Parish, Louisiana (1962)" Soil Conservation Service, Bureau of Soils and found a complete lack of either text or symbology for a town called "Nezpique." There is a complete absence of any significant cluster of structures shown on these maps at the given location for "Nezpique." The compelete PDF file, including soilmaps can be found at:

1. PDF file of "Soil Survey of Acadia Parish, Louisiana (1962)."

2. Internet Archive web page for "Soil Survey of Acadia Parish, Louisiana (1962)."

Finally, I looked at the historic archives of newspapers.com. I found 27 matches for "Bayou Nezpique" and none for a populated place called "Nezpique" in Acadia Parish, Louisiana. Paul H. (talk) 02:26, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Mercury vortex engine

The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn. (non-admin closure)‎ Wombat140 (talk) 01:29, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure about any of the following.

I'm not sure whether this is the right place to put this, but I don't know what to do with Mercury vortex engine, and Doug Weller suggested putting it in for AfD.

Currently, it redirects to Vaimanika Shastra, which doesn't mention mercury anywhere, so that's no good. In fact, after reading the translated text of V.S. I think the "mercury vortex engine" is probably based on Samarangana Sutradhara and not on V.S. at all, V.S. makes various mentions of mercury as a component of alloys but nothing about using it by itself or about it rotating, and from the translations I've seen S.S. does, very briefly.

It seems unfortunate not to have anything on this, as a lot of people seem to be under the impression that this is a real scientifically recognised thing and it would be useful for Knowledge (XXG) to have something on it that people could find if they searched for it. I suspect that if it's deleted, somebody will just put it up again with some shouting that Knowledge (XXG) is suppressing the truth. But I can't find good sources on it, even ones saying that it doesn't exist. The places where it's widely discussed are all non-RS-type places - ancient astronaut books from small publishers, forums, YouTube videos and so on.

A search only turns up this Grunge article https://www.grunge.com/1179379/just-how-possible-is-anti-gravity-technology/ which mentions it in passing, this https://www.skyfilabs.com/project-ideas/mercury-vortex-engines which doesn't look real, this https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/rockets/a25242578/apollo-fusion-mercury/ which I don't think is the same thing, and this https://techiescientist.com/is-mercury-magnetic/ which seems to be about a different phenomenon, along with various YouTube videos, crackpot sources and forums which aren't usable sources.

Google Books has only assorted small press stuff.

Google News and Google News Archive add this https://thewire.in/education/satya-pal-singh-ancient-vimana-shivkar-talpade-research and this https://thewire.in/education/charles-darwin-satyapal-singh-ram-madhav .

Google Scholar has a long list of articles in Indian engineering journals, but I don't have the background to know whether the authors or the journals are reliable sources or not. One article I glanced at appeared to make the rookie mistake of confusing benzoin (the chemical name) with benzoin (the plant substance, which is mainly a different compound called benzoic acid) in a recipe for an alloy, so that's not promising.

There are frequent references to NASA working on some kind of ion engine involving mercury and possibly solar power, which the authors often seem to think is the same thing, but I'm not convinced that it is.

Possible options include:

Delete the thing as a bad job.
Redirect to Vimana#Samarangana Sutradhara, which at least makes a passing mention of mercury.
Redirect to Die Glocke (conspiracy theory), which does describe something self-explanatorily similar and seems to be the other source for the "mercury vortex engine" idea.
Add something to Vimana, Vaimanika Shastra or David Hatcher Childress saying what the "mercury vortex engine" theory is and what its status is among reputable sources and redirect to that.
Write a "Mercury vortex engine" article. Somebody else will probably have to do it if so, I'm sick of the dratted thing and I don't know Sanskrit and I don't know what is or isn't a reliable Indian scientific article and I don't have access to any of David Hatcher Childress's books (he seems to be the main populariser of this theory in English) except snippets online.

That's it. This is clearly WP:OR, someone trying to build the idea that a rivalry exists, but the sources do not say this, and the one that seems to lean a little that direction is directly contradicted (by its own quoted source person) in the next source. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:10, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

List of schools in Miyun District

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Education, Schools, Geography, Lists, and China. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 15:27, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Keep: The notability of this list extends from Education in Beijing. Knowledge (XXG):Notability#Stand-alone_lists states: "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines" and therefore "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been." The set (the set being all government K-12 schools in Beijing muncipality) is discussed in Education_in_Beijing#Primary_and_secondary_education. However it is impossible to list all such schools in any single article, let alone in "Education in Beijing", so such schools are subdivided by district. By this reasoning, all lists of schools by Beijing district are notable.

Additionally, consideration needs to be given to non-English speaking areas, in which Knowledge (XXG) editors usually find it harder to find sources for (so long as it is verifiable such entries exist). The Wikimedia Foundation wants to make efforts to combat Knowledge (XXG):Systemic bias, and so giving consideration to such topics in non-English speaking places is very, very important.

If this qualifies for that, we should at least split this list to have smaller lists for each school district. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 23:10, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

@PaulGamerBoy360: China doesn't have independent "school districts" the way they are in the United States. The district governments (that is, of Chaoyang District, Xicheng District, etc) operate some of their own schools, while some other schools are operated by Beijing municipality (that is, by the central government of Beijing, which is the equivalent of the provinces of China). The "List of schools in ABC district" already differentiate the former, but also include Beijing Municipality-operated and private schools located in each respective district. For example, List of schools in Chaoyang District, Beijing includes schools operated by the government of Chaoyang District, schools operated by Beijing Municipality within Chaoyang District, and private schools in Chaoyang District. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:14, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe I didn't realize they weren't set up the same, I now realize this list should be kept but I do feel it should be renamed to List of Educational Institutions in Miyun, Beijing.

I feel that a name change would better fit the content of the list. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 21:02, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm totally fine with the list including universities!

Merge I was about to boldy do it in all honesty today til I saw this was done. It's a shame too because DeDeDe's one of gaming's oldest villains and one with some actual changes to his approach over time. At most though I've found were GameRant articles discussing how often his design has been changed.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 18:35, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Merge to List of Kirby characters The sources in the short reception are just not enough to satisfy notability and sadly there seems to be nothing else of any significance. Fieryninja (talk) 18:42, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Weak Merge I'm genuinely surprised by how little Dedede has. He seems like he would have more, given he's an iconic antagonist who's gone who tons of character development over the years, but unfortunately I just can't find many sources discussing him in depth, and what's currently there is pretty weak. I will note I did find some stuff while searching that may be worth adding in the merger.

Some developmental info on the character's design in Star Allies in Return to Dream Land Deluxe, which is always a good note to have (Admittedly, the Star Allies source is weaker, but it exists)

I also found some TheGamer articles that may be useful given they do have some commentary on him. Obviously not enough to save the article, but they exist.

I also went and did a Scholar check. The sources I had access to didn't really support much, but there were some I couldn't access that did mention him. There might be something there, but I don't think it'll be enough to salvage the article.

In any case, I absolutely believe this should be recreated in the future should sources come up, and if anyone finds sources during their BEFORE, I'd be happy to change my vote, but sadly I'm going to have to go with a merge on this one. Pokelego999 (talk) 20:56, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Merge per nom with the presumption that it can be re-created if more coverage is written in the future. I had actually been looking at improving this article after Kirby showed up in the GA list, but a search about half a month ago did not turn up anything substantial enough for Reception. A check on Scholar and Gbooks did not find anything substantial, but there is a slim chance that something useful might show up in a print magazine considering this character has been around for a long time. But at the moment, it looks like there just is not enough significant coverage. The Night Watch (talk) 20:37, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Comment: The article was only created two days ago. Have you considered adding appropriate tags to the article to give editors time to fix any problems that you have identified? The notability criteria for books states that a book is notable if it "has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself". The wikipage for the book includes two peer-reviewed articles about the book and an article published by Barcelona Centre for International Affairs, so it appears to meet the notability criteria.

This article has been draftified multiple times, and moved back to the mainspace without real improvements but with a slightly different title, multiple times now. The main issue is that the sources are all press releases, none of them are independent, and the main editor seems to have a serious WP:COI and the article is far from neutral (e.g. the unsourced "pivotal moment" section). Whether the company is actually notable is hard to tell due to the proliferation of paid-for "articles" in even many of the best Indian news sources, but in that case a WP:TNT scenario would be best, where a neutral editor creates the page based on independent sources.

Hello @Fram, I hope you are doing well! I'm new to Knowledge (XXG) article writing, and I want to ensure that I adhere to the guidelines, specifically avoiding any WP:COI with any company. I'm currently working on creating a Knowledge (XXG) page for a real estate company based in Chennai, India.

I initially encountered some challenges with the title due to confusion surrounding the company's legal name. In my attempt to gather information, I used Google as a source. I later realized that adding press releases might not be appropriate. However, I observed that many government department pages use press releases in PDF format as sources. This led me to include press release sources in my initial draft.

I want to assure you that I am committed to rectifying any issues with the article myself. If I cannot find reliable sources, I will refrain from including the content. I appreciate your guidance in this matter. Thank you! Ramesh Chattrerjee1998 (talk) 08:54, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Comment. The Today source dated 13 October 2006 says it was "a rare move in judicial history, the Court of Appeals sent a case back to the High Court for the trial to be reopened", which could make the case notable. But does it? We have the 'word' of one tabloid newspaper. Unable to access the New Paper source but note it's a tabloid. Quite a bit of the article is based on transcripts of the court cases, which are primary sources. The events immediately leading up to the killing have been presented in the article as if they were straight facts rather than what they actually are which is the accused's version. The Straits Times has a brief resume of the case as a notable example of a police stand-off, helps a little with WP:NSUSTAINED but on its own is not enough. ~~Leaning redirect to List of major crimes in Singapore (2000–2009)#2005 unless additional reliable sourcing found.~~ Rupples (talk) 00:45, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

This article was created without citations. I moved it to the draftspace for incubation. After a brief period of andditions and the draft being declined by two editors (including myself), the article's creator appended a handful of citations and moved the article back to the mainspace. I can find no indication of significant reference to the battle in any of these sources besides one blog post. Additionally, at least one of the sources appears to be a middle school-level textbook. Much of the information in this article is not cited to any reference. I don't think this is a hoax so I think deletion back to draft is probably the best option.

Good citations on Bruneian history are sadly hard to find. The current text is written with a slant, but the core details seem roughly right. This source (pp. 16-17) provides a ship number of 30 to 40, and provides a bit more political background, but devotes no time to this battle itself. It doesn't refer to "Kota Batu" but simply "Brunei", but it's clearly the same place. It gives a similar number of cannons (62, article has 64). This source (page 30) mentions Seri Lela and Seri Ratna, but otherwise skips right through this period. (Both sources are notably reasonably old at this point, reflecting the difficulty of finding information.) Given the current paucity of sources both here and at Castilian War, corresponding to a very short length in each case, I would suggest redirecting to Castilian War, merging The Battle section and the Aftermath detail. CMD (talk) 07:43, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
I've been on and writing Brunei wikipedia articles for a year now and I do agree that sources for the Bruneian Sultanate era are indeed very hard to come across, and are hardly reliable or valid with many different sources giving different informations for the same topic. This convinced me to stay away from writing articles of that era as it could be challenging to fight for. With how this article stands, I can only give my best of luck to justify its existence on Knowledge (XXG). Please do not be discouraged from writing future articles, other topics from the 1900 onwards are much easier to start from and more likely to be accepted (if done correctly).

The source said there were perhaps 62 cannons (although it notes this was not a count from during the battle). The article says 64, citing "Lloyd, Yeo (2010). Explore Social Studies...p. 39. ISBN 978-981-280-979-7" whose existence I cannot validate. CMD (talk) 01:24, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
The Battle of Kota Batu (1578) article said 62 Cannons. Syazwi Irfan (talk) 05:45, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
In the infobox, yes, but not in the text of the article: "Bruneian defenders were already outnumbered the Bruneians which had only 64 cannons". ~ Pbritti (talk) 12:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Keep - The article has at least three sources that are scholarly and directly relevant which is enough to support the article. I don't see how deleting or redirecting would improve the encyclopaedia, and draftify is for improvement when the article seems ready for mainspace as written. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:11, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
The issue is that other material cited in the article does not actually verify the content of the article, so we are partially relying on AGF under those rocky circumstances to believe there are academic SIGCOV sources on this. ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:17, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
Unless I'm misreading that, it feels like it falls under WP:DINC, or it's WP:BABY writ large. If instead you mean that the subject meets GNG only by inflating the attention that the sources pay to this event, I would still !vote to Keep. I think it would be wiser to err on the side of WP:NOTPAPER and give the benefit of the doubt. To clarify what I said above, I don't see how deleting this entire article or redirecting would improve the encyclopaedia, even though the article could certainly use improvement. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 21:25, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
@Last1in can you or @Syazwi Irfan point to a reliable source that has written in-depth about the event? I struggle to understand how, for an example, The Cambridge History of Southeast Asia, covers it as at least according to outline it begins in the 1800's but this event occurred in 1578. Some details about what the sources actually state will be helpful. Also @Chipmunkdavis states there is one source they can't find evidence it exists and @Pangalau states reliable sources largely do not exist covering the time period.

Keep Was chief librarian at Turnbull (1973–1990) and that gives a high enough profile that he'll get over the GNG bar. Those chief librarians get an entry (usually, at least – haven't checked them all) in the Who's Who in New Zealand (e.g. his predecessor is included in the 10th edition), and that inclusion is generally considered enough to meet GNG. Traue is listed in the 11th edition of this work, but interestingly, he was the editor for that edition, hence this aspect isn't quite as clear cut. Either way, The Press is now online until 1989 and that'll provide some online sources for Traue. Schwede 66 02:49, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Keep. As suggested by Schwede66, I've done an initial search of the Papers Past records under both Jim Traue and James Traue. Most of the hits for Traue are him speaking on behalf of the library, e.g. to talk about library acquisitions, rather than coverage about him as the subject. However, there are some relevant sources, which I've added to the article. Chief librarian of the Turnbull is a notable position, given that it was in effect the national research library of New Zealand for many years (and still is today, as part of the National Library of New Zealand), and to have held that position from 1973 to 1990 is impressive.

I'd expect that he is covered extensively in the 1995 book Turnbull, A Library and Its World by Rachel Barrowman; although I don't have access to this source at the moment, this Evening Post review accessible via Proquest notes that Barrowman covers three phases of the library's development: "The third saw Jim Traue fight hard to transform the Turnbull into a research institution and to stave off the worst excesses of the National Library, to which the Turnbull had undergone a shotgun wedding."

I can see why it was nominated for deletion in the present state, but do think the subject is notable. I've done a little bit of work on the article and hope to do more. Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:41, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Delete. Fails as a navigational list because the only blue-linked entries are people notable only for their age, and there are only a very few of them. It is likely that readers looking for these people are interested in supercentenarians in general; such readers would be better served by an article listing supercentenarians in general. In fact we have a list at List of supercentenarians but we've chosen to stick to people notable for other reasons besides age. And navigational lists have to navigate to articles, which isn't likely to be possible for people who haven't done wiki-notable things beyond living long lives. Fails as a stand-alone list because although the press from time to time likes to write articles about people surviving to great age, implying that supercentenarians might be a an independently-notable set, (1) these articles aren't focussed on Mexico (except in Mexico), so again a global list would make more sense than a Mexican list; (2) they are often borderline, rather trivial interest articles analogous to those on particularly tall actresses, or worst seaside towns. (3) the press tends to write about old people rather than specifically supercentenarians. Elemimele (talk) 07:05, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

This appears to have been WP:REFBOMBed to make it appear more notable than it is. All publicly available references used in article do not directly address "Southern Pacific 3100" in anything more than a passing way from my analysis.

Comment: @PharyngealImplosive7: It is not obvious to me what part of WP:Notability you think supports your claim that a sound that does not constitute a phomeme in any human language is not notable. I am not arguing the opposite, just asking you to flesh out your argument a bit more explicitly. The article cites (albeit incompletely) at least one scholarly work describing the sound, suggesting that it might satisfy WP:NPOSSIBLE. Cnilep (talk) 03:46, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- Maybe it is not about WP:Notability, but it literally is not used in any language and has one source which is a book about phonetics, so of course it contains info on it. And if this article is allowed to not be deleted, we should make other drafts such as Draft:Voiced bidental fricative actual articles. PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 04:59, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Okay. There are similar reports for other Mayan languages, so Uspantek is probably not unique, but regardless it appears to be an extremely rare sound lexically. — kwami (talk) 23:49, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
Keep. (See also my comment above.) Pullum and Ladusaw (hat-tip Uncle G) suggest that the sound sometimes occurs in American English, and Bennet et al. (hat-tip — kwami) describe an occurrence in Uspanteko, and its difference from a velar ejective. The sound is apparently not phonemic in any described languages, but that does not mean that it is never used; compare Phoneme versus Phone (phonetics). In addition to Pike 1943 (hat-tip PharyngealImplosive7 for the online version), these sources should be cited. The article should also note that the phone is rare and not known to be contrastive (as opposed to the ambiguous "not used"), but AfD is not for cleanup. Cnilep (talk) 23:57, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Keep. Both the nomination and the subsequent "delete" comments are based on the premises that the sound is not used in any language, and that it is mentioned in only one source, but both of those are false. The current version of the article says, apparently correctly, "A phonemic /ɠ̊/ has not been confirmed for any language ... In Uspantek, and perhaps other Mayan languages of Guatemala, is a rare allophone of /kˀ/." (My emphasis.) Saying that a sound is used in languages as an allophone but not as a phoneme is not the same as saying that it is not used in any language, even if we ignore the further information that it has been "claimed" as a phoneme for Lendu, but disputed. The sound exists, it is used in some languages, whether as a phoneme or as an allophone, and, contrary to what has been said by those advocating deletion, it is covered in several sources, as shown by Kwamikagami and Uncle G.

Solar eclipse of February 25, 1914

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

Modern eclipses are routine, predictable events of little significance; there is no special notability guideline or policy indicating that they are automatically notable enough for a Knowledge (XXG) entry. I think they should therefore be judged according to WP:NEVENT, and unfortunately most Knowledge (XXG) articles for eclipses, including this one, fails the test:

WP:LASTING: It was a routine event. No wars happened because of it, no emperor was deposed for it. It happened as predicted (prediction of solar eclipses being a nearly perfected science even by then), people noted it, and then promptly forgot about it. All coverage of it would be from around the time it occurred on, other than entries in eclipse databases. It finds its place in various databases of all solar eclipses that ever occurred.

WP:GEOSCOPE: It was probably covered internationally, in all the countries the eclipse happened in/passed through. But this is routine stuff: the local press of various countries makes note of the solar eclipses that pass through their territory.

WP:DEPTH: There is nothing much indepth to say about most eclipses unless they precipitate some other important event in history; this is specially true for eclipses in modern times, as events where people claim them to be a supernatural sign or prophecy affecting worldly matters anymore.

WP:DURATION: All coverage of it, aside from what are essentially database entries, happened around the time it occurred.

WP:DIVERSITY: It was probably covered by a variety of sources, but nearly all coverage would be of the same type.

WP:ROUTINE: Perhaps no other class of events are as certain and accurately predictable as solar eclipses; it certainly seems like "routine coverage of planned events".

I'm bringing only a single article to the AfD to not be too disruptive, but the consensus on this would be relevant for many other eclipse articles in Category:Annular solar eclipses, and possibly other categories. TryKid 00:03, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Keep due to the wealth of astronomical information available about solar eclipses it is valuable to keep them. Regarding WP:GEOSCOPE, eclipses almost always receive coverage by local news when they occur. Eclipses are not WP:ROUTINE, each one has a unique path, duration, etc. DirtyHarry991 (talk) 05:06, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Comment: Based on the map, this annular eclipse passed over Antarctica and ocean, so it wouldn't have been widely observed, if at all. I could find no evidence of a solar eclipse expedition, which might otherwise have made at least slightly notable. It could probably just be redirected to List of solar eclipses in the 20th century.

Comment For the last couple weeks I have been on a project to expand some of these stubs with additional sourcing; in fact, the reason I had this article open was because I had just finished with 1913 and was moving onto 1914. I guess we will have to see, but I am quite opposed to the sight-unseen assumption that it "received no news coverage". There are very few eclipses for which this is the case, including ones that are "stupid" or "pointless" et cetera. I will have to go check my resources; I've found sources for about thirty or forty of these eclipse articles so far, and for some it is harder than others. jp×g 🗯️ 22:10, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Keep, per the seven reports on two continents I was able to find for this expansion. The nominator mentions WP:NEVENT, but the very first bulletpoint of NEVENT is the general notability guideline. Looking at this article, I can assess it thus: is there significant coverage? Yes, since all of these seven articles are about the eclipse. Are they reliable sources? Yes, they are all reputable newspapers, and they're writing based on the observations of others. The NASA source is from 2004. Are they independent of the subject? Yes, I would be quite shocked to find out that they were writing these results as a result of payola from Big Moon.

Is the coverage "routine"? Well, in a sense, yes, but so is all coverage of anything -- it's "routine" for newspapers to write about the person who is elected president, it's "routine" for newspapers to write about when a tornado destroys a city, it's "routine" for newspapers to write about every single time two countries go to war, et cetera. Something does not have to single-handedly turn the wheel of history to be notable; there is no part of notability guidelines that says "emperors must be deposed". I don't know what the coverage being "of the same type" means. I don't think it makes sense to look at something that was covered extensively by reliable sources, is still mentioned in the context of historical eclipses, and say "well passing GNG doesn't count because the thing was stupid". jp×g 🗯️ 23:37, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

JPxG, GNG requires that the sources be secondary. News reports published near the time of the eclipse do not constitute "secondary sources", they are primary sources reporting on how to best view the eclipse or what others saw during the eclipse and so on. The NASA source is essentially a database entry, the database includes a chart of every eclipse that ever occurred within some time period. It is not significant coverage. Nearly every eclipse article on Knowledge (XXG) relies on this type of sourcing, recounting what various news papers said about an eclipse around the it occurred. None pass the GNG bar of "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources". regards, TryKid 10:03, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
It's circular logic to say that sources can't be significant coverage, because the event wasn't significant, because there was no significant coverage, et cetera. The "significant" in WP:SIGCOV does not mean "important and grandiose", it means "devoted primarily to the subject". That is to say, it's meant to exclude an article about the Tsar's ulcer that says "the surgery, which happened on the same day as an annular eclipse, went off just as elegantly as the moon across the sun." It's not meant to exclude an article about the eclipse that says "People went out to see the eclipse and here is what they said about it". jp×g 🗯️ 17:56, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
JPxG, I think you misunderstood me: my contention was that the NASA entries are not significant coverage; the newspaper reports, on the other hand do constitute significant coverage, but they're not secondary sources. cf. WP:PRIMARYNEWS. I don't see any kind of "retrospective" coverage, it's the same type of report one would see any other routine event. regards, TryKid 13:09, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
I just don't really see the utility in reinterpreting the guidelines this way. There have been thousands of AfDs voted, judged and closed on the basis that verifiability, news coverage and inclusion in secondary sources suggests something is notable. But with this nomination you're explicitly setting out to go through about a hundred eclipse articles, so first of all there is a mountain to be moved: and second, why? You think they are "of little significance", okay, but there is tons of stuff on Knowledge (XXG) that is dumb and lame. The standard you seem to want to apply here, that things should be deleted unless they have some kind of perpetual worldwide relevance, is at odds with a lot of consensus and a lot of content. jp×g 🗯️ 06:38, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Keep. WP:5P1 suggests Knowledge (XXG) has features of almanacs. Eclipses have long been a feature of almanacs. (In fact here's an almanac listing this very eclipse ). Additionally, (relatedly), in response to the above, news reports about upcoming eclipses are indeed relying on scientific predictions and thus are secondary. And of course, the NASA source is indeed a strong one. Personally, I can't see how the encyclopedia is improved by deleting such articles, though I could see a compelling argument for WP:NOPAGE merges-in-full of these articles in some way that improves the way these are presented to the reader. A delete or even redirect to a table row leaves the encyclopedia weaker. —siro χ o 10:59, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Redirect to List of solar eclipses in the 20th century. Just the routine coverage during the short news cycle, lacking WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. It didn't produce any secondary coverage (in contrast with the solar eclipse in August 1914) and being mentioned in a NASA's database doesn't mean it is notable. --C messier (talk) 17:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Delete per the excellent nomination statement (really a redirect is fine too, but meh). Except for the recent additions by jpxg (I'll get to those in a second), this is a pure cookie-cutter article of statistics that could essentially be auto-generated from a database, every single eclipse article would be virtually identical with only the particular details of that eclipse differing. Not only that, but the vast majority of this article isn't even about this eclipse, but is just tables of other eclipses and an explanation of the basics of eclipses that has no business being in an article as specific as this. The basics of the stats can and should be in summary list-type articles; that much is perfectly fine.But none of the keep !votes address the lack of any sustained coverage or lasting impact of this event. Adding in a couple blurbs from routine (yes, it's routine) coverage in the press of the day does nothing but confirm that yes, people knew when and where this eclipse would occur, even over 100 years ago. There's nothing even remotely in-depth about any of the coverage. The first one I checked, for example, was all of three sentences long. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 04:53, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Keep. The sources are sufficient to support an article. In particular WP:V is clearly met. WP:GNG is debatable, but not really key, IMO. Since most contemporary eclipses are highly notable it makes more sense to organize our coverage so that each 20th century eclipse has its own article rather than spending time debating exactly how much news coverage is necessary to support notability. This is really just about the organization of content since the basic facts will be included in list articles about this series of eclipses either way. Removing the article leaves a gap in our eclipse coverage that is annoying to some editors bust doesn't really help readers in any way that I can see. Eluchil404 (talk) 00:10, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
Keep based on contemporaneous news reports, some of which note where it would have been visible, even if only a few people would be there to see it (e.g., "Two Eclipses of Moon in 1914", The Kansas Evening Star (February 28, 1914), p. 3):

Four eclipses, two solar and two lunar, will occur in 1914. The first one of these has already performed and left the stage. Maybe you didn't notice it, but it occurred February 24. This was what is known as an annular eclipse; the moon finally seems to cover up the center of the sun, leaving a ring-like fiery border all around the former. Our moon at her distance from us cannot apparently conceal the sun's disk from sight and what is seen of his disk appears like a complete blazing circle. The eclipse of February 24 was not particularly interesting from a popular standpoint and was not to be seen in North America. The moon not only crosses the fiery disk of the sun, but also intercepts some of the solar light from the earth. Wherever this lunar shadow falls is called the "path of eclipse," and the inhabitants of that region see the moon partially or totally cover for a while the face of the sun. Our earth and moon are both in motion, particularly our earth. The widest shadow cast by the moon is only 167 miles, and accordingly, a solar eclipse can be seen only from a limited part of the world. On February 24 this lunar shadow did not fall upon North America, for the path of the annulus remained entirely within the Antarctic and South Pacific oceans. Therefore it was witnessed by the inhabitants in the southern part of Patagonia and the eastern coast of New Zealand. But though the citizens of Independence were not able to see the solar eclipse of February 24th, they will be able to see some of the solar eclipse of August 24. On that day the moon will wholly hide the face of the sun; but unfortunately this eclipse will appear to the citizens of this city only as a partial eclipse.
