At current, they all fail GNG. If you want to improve them, by all means go for it, but if you revert simply for the sake of reverting I will waste everyone's time and send them all to AFD to formally get them redirected. 87: 772: 417:, I'd ask you to stop deleting crater articles, didn't know you were doing that. Not as much pretty pictures but encyclopedic pictures of the craters, images which define the topic and focus attention on the individual geological feature. How many have you done (I don't have more than a few on my watch list)? Thanks. 838:
Yes, I think "presumed" may be a poor word choice. One of the most common uses of this word in the US is in the phrase "presumed innocent" which means innocent unless proved otherwise. So "presumed to be notable" could be interpreted as meaning notable unless proven not notable, which suggests normal

Most of the articles on future eclipses are just stubs that will mostly remain stubs even after the event. I agree with the above comments that only notable (described in multiple sources, etc etc) eclipses should have separate articles, though I'm impressed by the enthusiastic editor(s) who created
1031:
When you say "articles passing through WP:AfD still need to satisfy GNG, so there wouldn't be any benefit" is that intended to be a repetition of your opinion that it is not an override of GNG, or as a reason why you hold that opinion? Because as a reason, it is circular: you are saying it does not
990:
Different SNGs have different purposes. Some override GNG. Some strengthen GNG. Some defer to GNG and merely provide guidance for what sorts of things might pass. Which kind is this? My reading of it is to override GNG in a limited way – to provide automatic notability for all stars up to magnitude

with the remark that, "remove misleading text in note. GNG isn't relevant in this case". The lead paragraph of this guideline says that this, "is a subject-specific supplement to the general notability guideline". Hence, it does not override the GNG. To say an article is "presumed notable" does not

If a page does not meet GNG, it should not be kept; redirection at least allows for editors to have a platform to expand should there be a future opportunity. I will (out of courtesy) temporarily stop redirecting these pages, but so far there is no indication that a sub-stub referenced to a single

A redirect is a delete of a full article, just redirected. Doing this to crater pages doesn't help the encyclopedia but in my opinion harms it. I'm not going to have you do a long term AfD series over this but will respectfully ask that you consider stopping those redirects of named craters. That

and prefer the status quo of articles on named features, such as named craters on the Moon, Mercury, and elsewhere, remaining safe and not subject to mass deletion (this change could easily be misunderstood to mean that hundreds of named crater articles would no longer be of notable topics). This

Yes I agree, but only for historical solar eclipses. Many of these eclipse articles just present paragraphs of boilerplate information. If there is no historical record or eclipse expedition published then it likely isn't notable. Future eclipses require a different criteria, such as whether the
968:
These criteria below are presented as rules of thumb for easily identifying films that Knowledge (XXG) should probably have articles about. In almost all cases, a thorough search for independent, third-party reliable sources will be successful for a film meeting one or more of these criteria.
399:
I would also argue that these pages will not necessarily be deleted; I've been slowly converting a lot of these sub-stubs into redirects to the main crater list articles; since the information is already in the table, there really isn't any information lost (other than pretty pictures).
269:, and the 'scope' section gives some examples of what does and doesn't fall into that class (the list of examples was mostly in place in 2011, with only minor revisions since). It does not specifically mention geologic features on Solar System bodies (craters, mountains etc., see 857:
I have no fundamental objection to simplifying that nutshell, but the suggested wording is duplicative, because coverage in reliable independent sources is criterion 3. And if you remove that, it becomes uselessly short. Regarding 'presumed', that word has been there

seems at first glance to be a simple change but it could end up to be a profound one, especially if someone takes it to mind to use it to delete many hundreds of named crater pages (in which case the revert seems justified and better for the encyclopedia).
1093:
At this point I'm not even sure what we're arguing about. The removed comment was just a guide concerning the likelihood of notability for very faint naked eye stars. I'm still not clear why it was necessary to have it removed.
892:"In a nutshell" means an explanation in a few words. An explanation that is basically "read the page for the information", without even trying to make a summary, is useless as a "in a nutshell" explanation and adds nothing. 188: 177: 1017:). That way editors will hopefully spend time more productively on this class of object. The word "presumed" was never meant to indicate an automatic override of GNG; it just indicates a high likelihood. 1054:
Fair enough. But I see nothing in the guide that overrides the GNG. We aren't providing any criteria about when an article shouldn't be written (beyond the GNG); only when it is likely to be notable.
207: 203: 199: 195: 191: 820:
The current statement is accurate. I'm starting to think the word 'presumed' is being abused. It just means it's likely to be notable, but it's still subject to the same requirement to satisfy

270: 930:
I've found many (fainter) stars visible to the naked to lack notability. If the warning is considered misleading, then the lowest magnitude should be changed to 5.0.
140: 63: 969:
However, meeting these criteria is not an absolute guarantee that Knowledge (XXG) should have a separate, stand-alone article entirely dedicated to the film.
875:
Yes, the same word has been used in several other topical notability guides. Some of those "nutshell" statements are quite a bit longer than this one.
1122: 1117: 952:"if your interpretation were correct, there would be no point in listing any criteria other than criterion #3, and no point in having an SNG at all" 509: 274: 548:
If you disregard the Moon, only one of the current criteria would work properly with this class of features, so there's no benefit in a merger.
