Very short lived show. Only source cited is Time, which gives it a paragraph mention in an article about game shows as a whole. Searching on GNews, GBooks, and Newspapers.com turned up nothing. So obscure that, outside of asking the producer on Facebook, no one knows how many episodes it even had. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:17, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

- Merge/redirect to Game Show Network per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. Thank you for the ping. I found one reliable source that provide significant coverage about the subject, one likely unreliable source that provided significant coverage about the subject, and several reliable sources that provided less significant coverage about the subject. Here are the sources I found about the subject:
- Gerds, Warren (1997-12-12). "UWGB grad's new job: Teasing TV game shows". Green Bay Press-Gazette. Archived from the original on 2022-05-02. Retrieved 2022-05-02 – via Newspapers.com.
This article provides significant coverage about the subject. The article notes: "The Hollywood saga of plucky Mary Gallagher continues. ... Monday, she will report to work as co-host of a new show being made for the new Game Show Network. ... She telephoned within hours of landing the part, so she didn't have a lot of details about Faux Pause, a play on "faux pas," which is French for "blunder." ... Interestingly, the show is built along the lines of Mystery Science Theater 3000, which had its origins in creator Joel Hodgson's bent way of watching late-night TV in Green Bay. ... Faux Pause will consist of some sketch material written by a small staff of writers and lots of ad-libbing while watching game shows."

The article provides two sentences of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "Game Show's newest original development takes a humorous approach with Faux Pause. Slated to debut this month, the series is a satiric commentary—akin to Siskel & Ebert—in which comedians perched in lounge chairs criticize B-rated game shows for laughs.

The article provides several sentences of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "Premiere: Marry Gallagher's prime-time Game Show Network show, Faux Pause, starts Monday. A University of Wisconsin-Green Bay graduate, Gallagher is co-host of the show that teases old game shows. Faux Pause will run at 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The relatively new network is available only on satellite in this area. We'll hear more about the stand-up comedian and actress and her show."

- Delete, this is one of those instances when you can find a plethora of search and news hits over the years, but I don't believe any suitably assert notability. It proves this show exists and that it has broadcasted for nearly 20 years, but I can't see any WP:SIGCOV or reputable reviews (or any for that matter). The PROD was in 2006 and had it not been for this, 16 years ago, the nom's accidental prod would have been enough to delete as it went uncontested (it should be clarified by TenPoundHammer in the statement that it wasn't deleted in 2006, but was a contested PROD). Still, I don't see any merit in the article when searching. Bungle (talk • contribs) 09:28, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

- Anyone searching for "Boy Meets Grill" are probably not searching for the host of the show. His own wiki page indicates he hosted up to 2011 and isn't known exclusively for this show, so I am unsure what a redirect achieves. I did also consider suitable deletion alternatives.

I've been meaning to nominate this page for deletion for a while and never got to it. Earlier today, IAmNitpicking (talk · contribs) tried to nominate it for deletion but did not do the nomination properly so I'm re-nominating it for deletion. IAmNitpicking's original rationale is given below and my own two cents is given below theirs. Pichpich (talk) 23:10, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Language and Iran. Pichpich (talk) 23:10, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Rationale by IAmNitpicking (in italics):
- I am nominating this article for deletion for two reasons:
- 1)It lacks notability. I question whether anyone has a use for this specific list outside the very narrow field of comparative linguistics, and in that case a more scholarly venue would be appropriate. In fact ...
- 2)It is not encyclopedic in nature. This topic is too specialized to fit a general encyclopedia, as mentioned above. IAmNitpicking (talk) 20:21, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete There are multiple problems with this article but the main one is that it's original research. There's quite a bit of wiggle room with a word as fuzzy as "similar" so most of the entries are probably due to chance. The article fails to distinguish between words that are similar because they possibly have a common origin (which is of some interest) and those that just happen to be similar (which is of no interest whatsoever). The article fails to demonstrate that this is a notable topic that's been the subject of rigorous study so there are WP:GNG concerns as well. Pichpich (talk) 23:20, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

- Delete I’m lost by all the poorly formatted comments above but this seems like an obvious case of “Wikipedia is not a speculative etymology work” Dronebogus (talk) 20:56, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. English and Persian are both Indo-European, so of course they'll have a large number of cognates. But this list doesn't stop there, it indiscriminately includes common borrowings (say, from Arabic or Greek) as well as purely coincidental similarities. Even if the list got pared down to some rigorous subset of these and sources were added, it would still not be encyclopedic. – Uanfala (talk) 11:40, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete for the reasons @Pichpich quoted above. IAmNitpicking (talk) 18:18, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. A scholarly list based on etymology and genuine cognates (like dokhtar/daughter) might be useful in a linguistics article, but this is just a mishmash of cognates, parallel borrowings, and words that "look similar" to the author. Athel cb (talk) 12:33, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Keep There's a few Nigerian music sources like Nigerian Tribune,[1] City People Magazine and [2] BellaNaija I don't know any of these but they're apparently notable publications. This seems like enough to meet gng. The page needs some work but I've cleaned it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gusty Guy (talk • contribs) 21:06, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Anyone who looks at these can easily tell they're not reliable sources - they're silly "wiki bio" entries or outright garbage. PRAXIDICAE💕 21:32, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
Keep The nominatior's arguments are not convincing. We have two independent publications with reasonably in-depth coverage, and said sources are quality enough to have their own wikipedia pages and are independently notable media. I'm not seeing anything about the publications themselves to indicate they are unreliable, so in the absence of a cogent argument for deletion it's a keep. Just because it was used as a sitelink on wikidata recently doesn't guarantee them non-notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gusty Guy (talk • contribs) 21:42, 1 May 2022 (UTC)(You can only cast one vote, Gusty Guy, I've struck out the duplicate.

The review notes: "The most brain-dead show on cable television right now is "Yo Momma" on MTV. The show pits the best "clowners" (MTV's word, not mine) from across Los Angeles, representing their districts, battling each other for the title of best trash-talker in the city. Wilmer Valderrama, the host of the show, speaks in a phony Hispanic accent to show how hard he is. ... Wilmer also has help from several judges who rate the contestants on crucial categories such as delivery, energy and the all important sting(!)."

The review notes: "Recently, MTV debuted a new reality series entitled "Yo Momma" ostensibly inspired by the sort of braggadocio found not only in 8 Mile, but in the average hip-hop music video. Picture an unplugged version of gangsta rap, trash talk sans samples and beats, where all you hear is the loudmouth shouting. ... Though only on the air for a few weeks, the show has already shot up the charts, and presently enjoys the third highest rating among all cable programs in the coveted teen demographic. Given its sudden popularity, I decided to check out an episode and was frankly quite shocked at the offensive repartee, which struck me as almost deliberately designed to antagonize and inflame along ethnic lines, especially the insensitive barbs aimed at blacks by white participants."

The book notes: "I have attempted to overcome the problem by drawing modern data from the TV shows Yo Momma, which ran on MTV in 2006–2008, and ... Yo Momma is a reality television game show which features verbal contests of adolescent boys and girls strikingly similar to those described by Labov and other scholars of the dozens. In its advertising campaign, Yo Momma is marketed as real-life verbal battles among lower-class urban kids, conveniently shot on camera in their traditional hang-out locations in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. The show is brought into an improvised studio in a run-down depot only for the final round. Therefore, producers endow it with almost ethnographic recording-like value."

The article notes: "As the host and creator of MTV's new reality series "Yo Momma," a no-holds-barred competition that pits Southern California's toughest jokesters against one another, Mr. Valderrama has had to think a lot about such matters lately. "Yo mamma is so fat" jokes are the backbone of his new series, which celebrates put-downs once reserved for schoolyard recesses. ... "Yo Mamma," to be shown weekdays at 6 p.m., has its debut tonight. ...

I would say merge it to a group like Shinhwa but pretty much every artist and trainee under the label is notable. Heck even IU was a trainee there, it's hard to figure out where to put such a redirect. - K-popguardian (talk) 17:57, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- Merge to Shinhwa. A merge to the parent company could work, too, but the locus of interest is really the band, who were responsible for more or less everything that the label did. Someone with language/domain expertise may be able to find sufficient media coverage to justify a separate article despite all this, so there should be no prejudice against reconstituting the article in the future. Chubbles (talk) 02:09, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
I find this whole situation odd. Shinhwa and Battle's page both have very specific things about the company, such as Shinhwa's contract not starting with the label till 2004 and them re-signing in 2006. Older revisions of this page mention how specific members of Shinhwa left the label early, also mentioning other artists not currently listed on the page, but none of them have any sources whatsoever. Even versions of this article dating back to the 2000's, there's no sources to back any of these statements. I've tried doing as much digging as possible on Naver but I couldn't find too much there either (I know 0 Korean so there might be someone who could do an even deeper search than me.) There has to be some out there if people got all this information. Question is where? - K-popguardian (talk) 16:37, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
If it helps anyone, I found through Naver that the company went by GOOD EMG in Korea and didn't have a specific Korean name. So that might help ease the search in Korean media. - K-popguardian (talk) 16:37, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
@Spiderone: @Chubbles: Since this article appears to have traces of articles that can prove its notability but have yet to be unearthed, what if we tried moving this article to a draft space instead? It can be moved there in its current state, we can find sources to verify the info currently on it, and add new notable info as well. I think deleting it may be a bad idea cause in terms of our current research and previous drafts there's a lot of obscure info that's significant to the article, and I don't think it would be a good idea to delete this page and risk losing all that info. - K-popguardian (talk) 22:56, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. This person's career was mostly prior to the internet. He was most active from about 1966 to 2007. He appeared in a dozen West End productions, including as John Wilkes Booth in Assassins and M. Andre in Phantom of the Opera and for a year in the 3-person revue Side by Side by Sondheim. He started his career with 3 seasons in the Royal Shakespeare Company. He was later in the Royal National Theatre. He appeared extensively on TV, with recurring roles in Drummonds, Wycliffe, Doctors and Casualty. If we look back at newspaper reviews of shows that he appeared in, we would find numerous reviews. Here is a 2003 Playbill article mentioning some of his roles. See also this, this, this, and this -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:05, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Does this amount to significant coverage, though? This and this (profiles on websites of musicals he's appeared in) are not independent of the subject, I'd say. I haven't read any hard-copy reviews of musicals he's appeared in, but I'm sure such reviews are more commonly on the side of trivial mentions when it comes to individual cast members, rather than significant coverage.

- No, the nominator of an AfD is supposed to think a little bit about whether a person is of encyclopedic importance, and must anticipate being challenged, because deletion is a last resort. Sorry you're annoyed, but I think this AfD is a bad mistake. If this actor is not notable, then 4 million of our 5 million articles are not notable. Obviously, this article was poorly referenced, and some of the references that were originally there have gone dead. A much better path would have been to add some citation needed tags.

- Keep – A quick dip in the online British press archives comes up with numerous detailed mentions of this actor. In the first half-dozen pages of search results I counted 36 separate reviews and articles featuring him in The Stage. He is repeatedly discussed there and in other papers, in a large range of principal roles in the West End and with the Royal Shakespeare Company etc, from Algernon in The Importance, Eisenstein in Die Fledermaus, Sir Joseph Porter in HMS Pinafore to Orlando in As You Like It etc. The BBC's listings show him in a wide range of roles on television and radio.

- "Of course the Ukrainians are crying false flag rhetoric" This statement of yours does not follow NPOV i'm afraid. Due to fog of war there is nothing enough to prove if this is a "false flag" or not. Statements like "Ukrainians are as susceptible to lying as the Russian government" are manipulating users into a political discussion on whether if this a false flag, which is not what this nomination of deletion is entirely about. There are other reasons such as neutrality and notibility. Sgnpkd (talk) 18:23, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Yes I understand my comment seemed to have angered Volunteer Marek. I am not "manipulating" (rather accusatory?), I was attempting to rebut Viewsridge's point that the attack is just a Russian gov claim and denied by Ukraine, implying the event was nonexistent. It most certainly did happen, and it is notable because this specific attack led to the Russians publicly threatening to hit "decision-making centers" in Kiev, which to my knowledge they did a day or two afterwards, and will continue to do so. This is notable because it led to a direct reaction from Russia, it's not just a random explosion (and Russia so far isn't being shelled every day). Your point about neutrality is curious, since that would relate to the question of responsibility, which you insist is not part of this discussion. I'll go along, but considering the Russian reaction (and from pro-Russian sources there is/was a lot of chatter about this attack in particular), the article is notable. 2601:85:C101:C9D0:D454:650:1A03:EDF7 (talk) 20:38, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Wikisaurus (talk) 01:57, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete With 7 injuries, notability is low. Even if it is proven that Ukraine shelled the village, this would not be the first time it retaliate into Russian territory during this war. The scale of the shelling is very small compared to other operations of the war. Unless this is an important cassus-belli for a significant, future Russian action, otherwise not notable. There is no point for creating an article for each explosions and shelling during the war, otherwise we would have dozens articles a day. Sgnpkd (talk) 18:14, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Claims coming from both sides, as well as the supposed video evidence, received notable coverage in the media.

Some of the content may well be subject to POV issues, but the solution to that is to edit the disputed issues out or (at worst) to set out the rival positions.

All 114 sailors that have started the Vendee Globe have a wikipedia page why question one.
This is patently untrue. He did not start, and in fact, we do not have an article on everyone who has. [5], [6][7]. And the primary difference aside from WP:OSE for the others is that most if not all have multiple competitions where they actually placed or finished and significant coverage. Though, many of these are in fact, written by you and poorly sourced. CUPIDICAE💕 16:35, 16 April 2022 (UTC)- Look I only post really about one sport where I am an active historian together with general Olympic Work. But you can easily track on wikipedia that both the statements you made are not correct.
- 1) Here are all 114 starts and 84 unique finishers Category:Vendée_Globe_sailors (these groups validate the table on the primary vendee globe page)
- 2) He started and retired on day 29 of the 2000-2001 Vendee Globe a minimal amount of googling would have found that out. He didn't start a later edition because he sank the boat on a qualifing passage.
- This page was well sourced and referenced as there are lots of articles about him. It not my fault another editor removed all the referencing. A number of the earlier sailors are started by me this is the wikipedia way it very hard to get huge amounts of reliable sourcing about sailor from the 1980s as these are printed media. Fundamentally wiki "french" also has all these pages. Once I have created these pages they usually get expanded by those closer to the person. User:Yachty4000 18:27, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

The result was merge to Eponymous archon. Consensus is that being an archon of Athens in Roman Greece isn't enough for notability, and that the information about this officeholder should be selectively merged to the table in the target article. Sandstein 07:06, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Obscure Roman who fails WP:BASIC and WP:INVALIDBIO due to absence of any meaningful biographical information aside from family relationships. Pointlessly deprodded under the mistaken belief that a local and probably symbolic officeholder such as this is automatically notable per WP:NPOL (the guideline says the exact opposite).

- Comment I note that Hipparchus appears to have a column and a half of scholarship about him in Pauly-Wissowa. The just-deleted article about Lucius Vibullius Rufus corresponds with a shorter entry, and in all the immediate family takes up about four pages and eight columns, as well as a graphic showing the family relationships between the various relatives of Herodes Atticus that stretches across the top of two of them. Admittedly most of what I can understand without speaking German discusses the various relationships of this family of Roman aristocrats. But even proceeding from the principle that "notability is not inherited", the amount of space devoted to Hipparchus and his immediate family in the gold standard of classical encyclopedias ought to give one pause about concluding that none of these people are notable. The number of sources that mention them also suggests that they're considered notable by modern scholars, even if most of what is known about them is how they were connected. However, I once again suggest that WP:BEFORE was not followed either before the PROD or before the subsequent nomination for deletion. However, as my caution has already been dismissed as "pointless" in this and several other related nominations by the same editor—as has my insistence that "deletion" and "merger" are not the same thing—I will leave it there. P Aculeius (talk) 18:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose merger The proposed merge target is one of the worst possible choices: it's a list of people which isn't designed to hold the sort of content the current article has. This article is nothing more than a listing of relatives, which would only be worth something if the topic itself was notable, which it isn't. Wikipedia isn't a genealogical database and such information is no more appropriate in the proposed merge target than as its own separate article. I trust the closer will give less weight to these spurious votes which do not explain why merging to that proposed target is a valid ATD. Avilich (talk) 21:26, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

The content in this de-prodded article, is about a program launched last month by Uttar Pradesh chief minister for which there is absolutely nothing apart from the coverage of his speech. All the references are PR in nature or are extensively written based on minister's comments. (The same CM had apparently "launched" this same program in 2017; which shows the pitfalls of relying on news sources here).
The title, 'School Chalo Abhiyan' is a routine slogan - literally meaning 'Go to School Campaign' in Hindi - used widely as a local term for "Enrollment drive". See for eg, Uttarakhand govt, an NGO, Madhya Pradesh chief minister, another NGO. As an WP:ATD-R suggestion, perhaps a brief line on the usage of the slogan could be added to Education in India and the title could be redirected there. Hemantha (talk) 13:01, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Clearly passes WP:GNG. What an odd nomination. There are two major reference works already provided in the article in which Mittelmann has an entry: The Canadian Encyclopedia (see here; this source has the date of death and it was included in the article; @Ascendingrisingharmonising did you even bother to look at the sources already on the page?) and Theaterlexikon der Schweiz; both reference works notable enough to have articles on the sources themselves. Additionally, a google books search yields more sources and digging up reviews in major press doesn't appear difficult. For example, in just digging through the archives of The New York Times here are a selection of available reviews just from that one publication that could be used to expand the article: [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15] Clearly WP:BEFORE was not followed. Lastly, as a winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions (a major singing competition); he clearly passes criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO, criteria 4 of WP:CREATIVE, and criteria 9 of WP:MUSICBIO. Strongly suggest the nominator withdraw this poorly thought through nomination.4meter4 (talk) 17:46, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep − obviously. No shortage of references to him in opera reviews in The Times. In one (16 March 1965) he gets a much better notice than Pavarotti in Traviata. His Dr Miracle was praised for its sinister quality (15 March 1966) and as Don Carlo at Covent Garden he was praised for "his powerful well-focused voice" and was "rightly cheered" by the audience.(7 May 1975).

The result was redirect to List of One Piece characters#Shanks.

- Merge: I already explained myself several times about how this characters fails wp:notability though. There are little to no sources of the character to write a proper reception section. If the character were more outstanding in the narrative like say a Straw Hat it might be possible. I made a quick google search for possible reviews focusing on his appearances but dvd reviews only mention Shanks as a part of the premise. Same with the movie Red.Tintor2 (talk) 14:47, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Merge/Redirect to List of One Piece characters#Shanks and possibly even salt per nom and Tintor2.

Nothing comes close to significant coverage and a search for refs didn't yield any results. Link20XX (talk) 15:01, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep The article passes WP:GNG and uses the same critical sources as articles like Courier (Akudama Drive) or Swindler (Akudama Drive) such as Fandom Post. However those sources were not removed from those articles. Let’s also make be clear that User:Tintor2 was warned with edit warring with multiple users for repeatedly blanking the page and so now is trying to seek deletion even after they were advised to seek consensus on the Red-Haired Shanks talk page before pursuing such drastic measures. However Tintor2 is not the proposer as I originally thought, this was an error. --Plumber (talk) 20:36, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Again with other stuff arguments. ComicBook was called by another user not to be reliable in contrast to the articles. Fandompost is reliable since it's Chris Beveridge's neverending reliable usage of reviews but there is little to nothing to write about Shanks. Today I've been checking One Piece character third party sources but only found only worthy information for the leads. Shanks is not that notable when compare with the Straw Hats not due to impact but because there is no such sources when I googled today.Tintor2 (talk) 21:20, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) While the article does use the same sources as the two aforementioned articles, that doesn't mean they are significant coverage. Looking at the sources in the reception section, the reviews from The Fandom Post (which is a reliable source and I can explain why if requested) only mention the character briefly for their involvement in one specific scene in the series, definitely not significant coverage. The ComicBook articles (which is already scraping the bottom of the barrel as-is) are similar; despite mentioning the character in the title, they provide little commentary on the character and just talk about the plot of the series, which is also not significant coverage. Looking at the Swindler article, they have some sources like this, which are all about the character. I assume the Courier article is the same, but I don't feel like looking over it. While I agree that Tintor2 shouldn't have edit warred for as long as he did, he does have a good point regarding the character's notability. Link20XX (talk) 21:27, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

- The Fandom Post's reliability was discussed by WP:ANIME. In short, the website's editor-in-chief and most frequent writer, Chris Beveridge, has been interviewed by Anime News Network (link) and they have even written a few articles about his website and even cited it as a source on occasion, like here and here. Additionally, Beveridge has been a guest of honor at Anime Boston (link). The website's other writers have also written for other reliable sources, as can be seen in the linked discussion.

- Merge and redirect to List of One Piece characters#Shanks. There is a dearth of coverage about the character from reliable and independent secondary sources which are preferably from an out of universe perspective. I have already expressed my opinion about Plumber's mass creations of One Piece characters here. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information about the One Piece media franchise.

So here I think we have at least two sources (I discarded a bunch of weaker similar ones), that qualify for SIGCOV, if barely.

Also, his film will aired this year on August. So most likely, many articles will published about him.

Unreferenced article. In its current condition, does not satisfy verifiability and is not ready for article space. It says nothing about the division of the company except that it exists. This page was created in article space and moved to draft space as not ready for article space, but was then recreated in article space with no improvement and no references.

A CV-type article about an actor, drafted by an IP and then moved into mainspace as an WP:AFC-acceptance the same day by a user blocked last week as a WP:SOCK. A previous article about this subject was deleted at AfD in 2018; I can't compare that previous instance, but most of the subject's work described in the present article would also have been available for consideration in that AfD. Given its creation and approval circumstances, it seems appropriate to bring this instance to AfD. The article text uses "starred in" for the subject's work activity, where she appears to have performed supporting roles. Neither these, nor several recent appearances as a cast member in a "Kei x Yaku: Dangerous Partners" series seem sufficient to demonstrate that WP:NACTOR notability has now been attained.

- Delete. There's not too much for me to add: my search didn't find anything that clearly satisfies the GNG/WP:BASIC (mostly just passing mentions, plus the occasional interview), and I agree with the nom that she doesn't meet NACTOR's requirement of multiple "significant roles".

Strongkeepfor now at least. We're going to need to wait and see what sources Johnlp can get to. I've used this sort of guide regularly to source articles and they are almost always authoritative and generally written by experts in their field. On occasion, however, they end up saying "we know nothing about this bloke". That may be the case here, although I doubt it due to his Olympic involvement.

- Even if you don't consider the coverage routine, it is not known whether the source contains WP:SIGCOV of the subject, and even if it does we need multiple examples of SIGCOV. At the moment, we cannot keep the article, per WP:SPORTCRIT #5 and WP:GNG. BilledMammal (talk) 22:25, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

- Even if you don't consider the coverage routine, it is not known whether the source contains WP:SIGCOV of the subject, and even if it does we need multiple examples of SIGCOV. At the moment, we cannot keep the article, per WP:SPORTCRIT #5 and WP:GNG. BilledMammal (talk) 22:25, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

- @Harrias: Thank you for adding those sources. I can only access four of them, but none of those include significant coverage - can you provide additional information on the coverage in "Sunshine, Sixes and Cider" and "Somerset Cricketers 1882 – 1914" and whether it is WP:SIGCOV? BilledMammal (talk) 09:01, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- @BilledMammal: Sunshine, Sixes and Cider is little more than a passing mention, while Somerset Cricketers 1882 – 1914 is a two page biography. I'm having a look through some newspaper sources today, will see what there is. Harrias (he/him) • talk 09:08, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- @BilledMammal: Added a bit more from some contemporary newspapers. The coverage makes it pretty clear that he was a prominent rugby player in Devon at the time, and he receives a lot of local coverage. Most of it is relatively trivial; mentions of his performance in games for Devon or Barnstaple, but he also receives a good length profile in the Western Evening Herald (this one (subscription required)). There is also a reasonable amount of very local coverage for his role in local politics, but nothing there that really meets SIGCOV alone. All put together though, I think there is enough for GNG.

Can't find any evidence of notability. All of the 4 foreign language Wikipedia articles on him are based on his Transfermarkt profile, an unreliable self-published source. Searches of "علي العلياني" have yielded no useful coverage even when adding 'football' (كرة القدم). Soccerway shows 106 mins of professional football and there is clear consensus at recent AfDs that such a brief career in the game is never acceptable grounds for keeping an article on its own.

Balen Shah
Non-notable rapper, engineer, and would-be politician who does not satisfy general notability, political notability, or musical notability. A draft was submitted and declined twice, by different submitters and different reviewers, both of whom said it did not establish biographical notability. This article was then resubmitted by another editor and created in article space by another editor, and the subject still is not notable. Nothing in the article or the draft establishes general notability. As a candidate for Mayor of a large city, the subject does not satisfy political notability. The discography (which has been copied from the draft) does not establish musical notability. An article should speak for itself without the need to check the references, and this article does not, but the references have been checked. Seven of them are about his mayoral campaign, and are all primary coverage or passing mentions. None of them provide the coverage required for general notability.

There may be coordination between editors by his political campaign. This need not be addressed because he does not satisfy notability. Similarly, it is not necessary to inquire whether the editors have conflict of interest. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:15, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, Politicians, and Nepal. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:15, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- He is one of the well known musician/rapper from Nepal, which might be the reason other users also tried to create an article of him before. About his discography, no matter who writes about it, it will still be same because he was involved in those projects, so I don't know what different I could have done for that part. One biggest challenge I have gone through with articles related to Nepali people or films is that most of the time sources are considered unreliable. All of those sources which you have considered "probably" in terms of reliability are some of the best sources which covers Nepal related news coverage. Also regarding your comments on "would-be politician", I don't think only office or position holders are considered politician, as much as I know, person running for the office or position is also considered politician. I also do not have any coordination with any of the editors who you mentioned also tried to create this article, although I do agree that most of the references in the article only covers his political campaign, so I will work on finding more sources which covers other agenda as well. I just thought it would be helpful for Wikipedia if I create an article of someone who is well-known personality to Nepali people, any amount of time I get to improve this article would be appreciated.

- With more than 8 movies as a lead and parallel lead roles and 2 webseries and still page is being discussed to be deleted is lil strange . Many actors who have not even done even half of Amit Riyaan's work profile are already on Wikipedia . Someone called praxidicae put the point it's ' Indian churnalism ' . It itself sound RACIST and biased with half knowledge . regarding coverage in today's world
- almost everything is bought in media world and gets covered. That is real advertisement more than work profile. Someone who has niche fan following and isn't into bought media coverage is being discussed for advertisement issue is not at all logical and fair . Sandeepth2785 (talk) 08:28, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Sandeepth2785 The media in India, especially the entertainment media, has a few respected outlets. Those which are not respected rehash PR stories. This is termed churnalism. While Praxidicae might possibly have explained this in more detail it is an unfortunate fact that most entertainment media in India has a less than stellar reputation.
- Since churnalism in this class of media is a fact, and 'Indian food' is not a racially unacceptable term, it is a large leap to suggest that the deployment of the term 'Indian churnalism' is racially motivated. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:00, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Given the transclusion issue
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star Mississippi 02:48, 1 May 2022 (UTC)- The first order of notability of a living person is sourcing. The bar is raised higher than with other articles and must follow Wikipedia:policies and guidelines. There should be multiple independent and reliable sources that providing significant coverage to advance notability.
- There is no set number but at least three would be enough to "convince anybody". There is a difference in a source that supports content and one that advance notability even though the last can certainly also support content.
- The first source I checked, about a feature film titled "Zee5 Movie: Atkan Chatkan; Cast: Lydian Nadhaswaram, Yash Rane, Sachin Chaudhary, Tamanna Dipak, Ayesha Vindhara; Direction: Shiv Hare; Rating", was confusing and disappointing.
- I am not up to date on "Indian churnalism" but coud imagine this might be an appropriate discription. I do not think anyone should have to dig around to try to be convinced there is notability. If sourcing is not improvable then notability is absolutetly not proven. -- Otr500 (talk) 21:09, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Procedural note. This AfD was in fact correctly transcluded in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2022 April 23 when it was nominated, but a subsequent move confused cyberbot and XFDcloser and led to it appearing in multiple daily logs.

This is the page for a musical project. While it has had several well-known guest musicians, and has produced a prolific catalogue of music, it doesn't seem to have garnered any media coverage beyond a handful of reviews in minor publications and the occasional play on specialist music shows.

Database links like these[30][31][32][33] do not go towards GNG per WP:NOTDATABASE. Of the other three, none is WP:SIGCOV as they don't address the subject in much detail, they just state that he was signed and then fired 24 hours later.

I have been following this subject since 2015 on his journey. He is listed on Wikipedia under "Foreign players played in India" scrol down to "Gambia"and you see his name under the club name "Prayag United SC".
- However, one of the reason I created this article for the subject is because Wikipedia have not created one for him back then when he was eligible for it.

- I have work in football industry for the past 19 years but I have never seen this type of temperament from public. I often came across with a lot of wikipedia pages with only one or two sources outdated and they have never been deleted. Is it because the subject "Alpha Jallow" does not have an updated sources which makes him ineligible for wikipedia page? It is unfair judgement.
- Simply because their not notable in your eyes does not mean where they came from they are not. As an African player abroad, everybody in your native country and environment probably have heard about about you. Is very sad to see this judgements. Alphaj97 (talk) 14:06, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- This isn't complicated. To qualify for an article, it needs to be demonstrated that the subject (Jarrow in this case) has had significant coverage in independent sources. 'Significant' as understood from the relevant policies, as interpreted by contributors with experience of how they apply. Not 'significant' because someone connected with the subject says it isn't fair otherwise. Not 'significant' because someone connected with the subject makes unverifiable claims about 'everybody' knows. This is an entirely routine procedure on Wikipedia. People with conflicts of interest routinely get their attempts at promotion deleted. If you have contributed to Wikipedia before, but have yet to become aware of this, that is unfortunate, but that is how it works. I suggest you stop badgering people here, and let the discussion run its course. AndyTheGrump (talk) 14:30, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per source analysis below, fails WP:GNG, WP:NBASIC. Not even a case of WP:ONEEVENT as the one event itself that provided routine coverage (him signing for an amateur Turkish club then being swiftly dismissed) is not notable enough for a Wikipedia article.

- The subject only had three years of his career from 2016-2019. He has a brighter future ahead of him, to achieve his dreams. Injury is every athlete's nightmare. I would continue to help him achieve his dream with or without wikipedia page. As soon as he recovers he will get back to the pitch.
- You are the wikipedia administrator, whatever you decide I will take it in good faith but I will suggest keeping his page until he gets back on his feet. Thank you! Alphaj97 (talk) 14:36, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

"Reality legal programming" does not seem to be an actual defined term. This list has been completely unsourced since 2010 and has not improved; in fact, until earlier today, "list of" was not part of the article's name due to an against-consensus move. Prod declined without comment. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:13, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television and Lists. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:13, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Neutral(changed vote) I did too give a reason when I removed your prod. [35] I clearly said (valid list article). There was no "against-consensus move", that not making any sense at all. There was no discussion for it, nor needed one, it just a common sense thing. This is a list article, so "list of" should be in the name. Valid navigational list, it linking to Wikipedia articles logically grouped together. Reality television is well known, the article defines its purpose as listing those with "reality-based subjects having to do with law, such as police, crime, litigation". So clear inclusion criteria. Dream Focus 01:58, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- How is it valid if "legal reality programming" is not a thing that exists? Lists still need to be sourced, and about a topic that actually exists. You could easily make a verifiable list of "list of TV shows whose titles begin with the letter W", "list of TV shows whose first episode aired on a Thursday", or "list of sitcoms that still use a laugh track in 2022", but that's not an encyclopedic topic. By whose standards is any given show about litigation or crime and a reality series? Both halves of that statement would need to be verified, and sources would need to prove that this is a noteworthy intersection of genres. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 02:03, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- This article is in the categories of category:Legal television series and category:Reality television. Both of these things exist, the page is dedicated to listing things in both of these categories. Can rename it to List of reality television programs involving the law.
- Reality_television#Court_shows has a link to this page. Category:Reality television series by genre has Category:Court_shows in it. A page with just the many court shows in it would be a valid one. Just having similar themed things all in one list makes sense though. Whoops, I just noticed List of court shows already exist.
- So does List of reality television programs. It seems everything is already listed elsewhere so perhaps this article is not needed. Dream Focus 17:47, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
