I have carried out WP:BEFORE and added three references to this previously unfootnoted biography of a Scottish poet, but I do not think he meets WP:NPOET. Tacyarg (talk) 23:06, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Poetry, United Kingdom, and Scotland. Tacyarg (talk) 23:06, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: I found a couple more pieces of coverage in newspapers from the 1990s, including a review/small profile of his work in the Paisley Daily Express: [1], and in a review of a Scottish poem anthology, a paragraph calls him out in The Guardian: [2]. This just isn't anywhere close to enough coverage to satisfy the requirements of WP:NPOET, in my opinion. Cheers to the nominator for doing due diligence here before nominating as well.

Simply not enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable, secondary sources to meet WP:GNG. Would have redirected, but it was contested, so only option now is AfD. Onel5969 TT me 13:55, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Another reality tv bio where the only notability is due to the program. Similar to a spate of Survivor contestant articles recently. Outside her reality star coverage, does not meet WP:GNG.

- Keep: @Onel5969: This appears to be a case of Wikipedia:Overzealous deletion. The comparison of the subject to a Survivor contestant is categorically flawed and completely misleading, as the two are simply not the same. For one, the New York Times does not dedicate entire articles to the likes of a Survivor contestant, however, the publication did just that on the subject, Heather Gay, this past February. Despite your proclivity to censure this article, the subject is a notable public figure. Since March of this year the article has received 11,393 pageviews.

Contested redirect - tons of uncited material which should not have been re-added as per WP:BURDEN, and there's not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 19:09, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect as this saves history in case of sudden significant notability change. However, don't see it yet, too. Suitskvarts (talk) 10:30, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect per everybody. There's not really much case for having two separate articles about a cable television company and its digital subscription package, especially given that this article is relying entirely on the company's own self-published primary source content about itself rather than any evidence of WP:GNG-worthy media coverage about it. There might be a case for a standalone article about Club Illico the streaming service (we do, for instance, have separate articles about Crave the pay TV movie-channel bundle and Crave the streamer), but that isn't a foregone conclusion and also isn't this — as things currently stand, even Club Illico is currently just a redirect to Vidéotron rather than its own separate article.

The result was delete. While on a pure nose count this could be "no consensus", the keep arguments do not generally address the claims of lack of sourcing, or just point to web searches rather than particular in-depth references. Given this, the "delete" arguments are substantially stronger and more policy-based. Seraphimblade Talk to me 09:00, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Ambassadors are not inherently notable. No significant coverage to meet WP:BIO. Tagged for notability concerns for 10 years. LibStar (talk) 10:18, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians, Bilateral relations, Canada, Bolivia, and Peru. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 10:36, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: It is more than a little absurd to say "Ambassadors are not inherently notable" when the subject of this page has had so many significant roles, not only as an ambassador. The page should surely be tagged as needing better references, not deleted, to join the long list bizarrely celebrating the deletion of diplomatic articles on the nominator's user page.

- WP:ADHOM. Where are the sources that would make this person notable? LibStar (talk) 03:16, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete: Unsourced BLP. : BEFORE showed nothing that meets IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.
- The keep club hasn't supplied sources or arguments based in policy and guidelines, so the only response is an offer of cheese for the whine.
- BLPs need clearly IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability to avoid abuse per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk 12:52, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 20:12, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Ambassadors are certainly not automatically non-notable, as the nomination statement would seemingly have us believe. They can be notable, under GNG. The subject is also an academic and author, and notability might be achieved those ways too. But I didn't find GNG-worthy detailed independent sources about Bezanson, I didn't find published reviews of his two coauthored books, and I don't find the citation record pointed to above by Eastmain to be strong enough for WP:PROF#C1. That leaves his work as director of a Canadian government think tank and a university research center, but I don't think those are the types of major academic institutions described by WP:PROF#C6 and I didn't find GNG-worthy coverage of those roles either. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:45, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per David Eppstein. He fails GNG and NPROF, no book reviews in academia (JSTOR) and not a strong enough citation count to pass NPROF#1. --hroest 14:03, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: A retired very highly noted Development Scholar...ex-Head of IDS at Sussex (UK's leading development institute and one of the World's) and of Canada's International Development Research Centre. I think these could allow WP:PROF#C6 He has held a highest-level appointed administrative post at a major academic institution. (Msrasnw (talk) 14:32, 3 April 2023 (UTC))
- That is not the highest-level administrative post of the University of Sussex. JoelleJay (talk) 23:05, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Searches on Google books (Currie-Alder, B. (2015). Research for the Developing World: Public Funding from Australia, Canada, and the UK. United Kingdom: OUP Oxford.) confirm that he was the IDRC president, and therefore I agree with (Msrasnw CT55555(talk) 18:12, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Head of IDS is not the highest-level admin post at an academic institution, that would be the chancellor/VC of University of Sussex. The IDRC is also not a highly-regarded independent research center, it is a governmental research funding org that is a subdepartment of Global Affairs Canada. He does not meet any criteria for NPROF or GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 23:17, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Possible error: My understanding is that IDS is an independent research institute. "IDS has close links with the University, but is financially and constitutionally independent." (https://www.ids.ac.uk/about/governance/). Best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 12:00, 5 April 2023 (UTC))
- Keep per CT55555. Both of these academic books [3][4] devote a few pages each to Bezanson's time heading IDRC, so that with some of the other available sources is sufficient to meet WP:BASIC. The subject will probably never have a super long article, but that is not the bar for inclusion. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:19, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- I can't see the previews for those pages in the first source, are they covering him specifically or just covering events that occurred during his tenure? The second source is not independent as Currie-Alder is part of the IDRC. JoelleJay (talk) 05:23, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- It's about five pages, and I would say about half of that is about him and things he specifically did as IDRC head and the other half about the impact of those decisions. Currie-Adler didn't overlap with Bezanson at IDRC and the book is published by Oxford University Press, who surely would've been aware. So while, we should be slightly more careful, I don't think this disqualifies it from being a WP:RS because of WP:INDY reasons. This book [5] has 60 pages (pgs. 207-268) devoted to Bezanson's time as the IDRC head, and while I don't have full access, the previews do give several passages of things Bezanson himself did in that position. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 10:18, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Currie-Alder is definitely RS but also definitely not independent from IDRC, so cannot be used to establish notability of Bezanson. Its publication by OUP is irrelevant here. The third source is by the same authors as the first so doesn't count as a second piece of SIGCOV. I agree the Muirhead book(s) are SIGCOV, so I'll strike my !vote for now, but we still need another independent RS with SIGCOV to meet GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 16:40, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

This article is about an organisation that lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability. The article has two references which are to the organisation's web site. Much of the article has been removed as a copyright violation of material copied from the organisation's web site. That removal did also remove a reference, but that source was yet again from the organisation's own web site. My searches for sources turn up nothing that would substantiate notability.

Non-notable actor. Sources cited are all primary, and a search finds nothing better.

- Comment - there was a deletion discussion at de.wiki where several people were trying to find independent verification of his film/TV roles. In several cases, the claims about his works were faked. It was shown conclusively that he was not in Köln 50667 in 2016; S.kranich said that the 2016 date was an error, Krüger was in the show in 2018 (also unsourced), and she also said that it would be better to delete the article as nothing could be independently sourced. That was two weeks ago. It is rather peculiar that she has added the exact same unsourced and disproven claims in the article here. --bonadea contributions talk 10:19, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Article created prior to WP:NSPORTS2022 because of 6 mins of professional football back in 2013 before spending the rest of his career as an amateur. I have searched in Ukrainian but been unable to locate any significant coverage.

- Meanwhile, I attempted to formulate a vote but must declare myself unqualified due to poor knowledge of the sources in which the singer appears. She shows up online in four different searches: her stage name سارن, the anglicized Saaren, her birth name سارا خوششانس, and the anglicized Sara Khoshshans. In all cases she appears in a lot of Farsi sites, and to me they look like mostly social media and streaming services, which do not qualify as reliable sources here. However, I will defer to anyone who knows more about all those Farsi sources and their reliability. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:55, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete: I searched based on the suggestions above and found nothing that meets IS RS with SIGCOV of the subject. None of the sources in the article are IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. They are promo, interviews, primary.
- Sources above are promo [16], forum post [17], 404 [18]. After the 404 page I stopped looking at 3567b sources because it shows this is just link spamming.
- Keep votes seem to be centered on the false assumption that popularity and promotion equals notability.
- BLPs need clearly IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notabilty to avoid abuse. A BLP with no IS RS is an unsourced BLP and needs to be deleted. // Timothy :: talk 15:31, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - I commented above that I felt uncomfortable about assessing the sources from a language I do not know and called on native speakers to help the WP community. My attempt at a culturally sensitive recommendation received no thanks and I was only ordered to search harder and use Google Translate. So I did. Living in an oppressive regime, the singer appears doomed to promote herself via social media feeds, socialite appearances, and gossip sites that repeat press releases. Via Google Translate those sources do not qualify as the significant coverage that is required here. I am willing to conclude that her attempts at an honest singing career are being oppressed by her country's hardliners, but that problem is far larger than this article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:25, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

- [23] is a brief tongue in cheek mention, nothing SIGCOV;
- [24] is a grand total of 13 word, not about the subject but an opinion about a song, 13 words is not indepth and opinions do not establish Notablity;
- [25] quotes in reference show this is not SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.
- [26] is the extent of the coverage, nothing that meets SIGCOV.

- Keep. Some clarity about editing intentions here would help, i.e. whether this article will be the place in Wikipedia that the Colton House (significant historic house, site of much community activity and good programs etc.) will be covered, or whether the Colton House will be covered in a not-yet-created section of Museum of Northern Arizona article (to which Colton House currently redirects), or whether it shall be an independent article. It is the kind of place that would clearly be National Register of Historic Places eligible, but maybe there has been too much renovations going on for it to be a stable subject. (Also, as part of nonprofit museum now, there would not be the tax incentives driving many NRHP listings.)
- About the Colton House, there are substantial sources, including this from the Arizona Daily Sun, this Facebook page of the Museum of Northern Arizona on "the historic Colton House", and about some music scene there, this about a music residency program and this this about the "Colton House Sessions" (record of music sessions recorded there)
- Searches on "Colton House" also turn up that Harold Colter was an archeologist, too, and there are, perhaps confusingly, journal articles such as reported here maybe involving prehistoric pit houses (or maybe those are in different articles in the same publications). And/or maybe there are archeological sites on this property, I dunno.
- There's a lot of material, and Wikipedia's coverage of Colton House as a cultural center and architecturally significant place and historic place with important associations, is not sorted yet. I say let Wikipedia's editor(s) creating content here proceed and sort this out, and merge or split or redirect as they see fit.

To be clear, this is a slam-dunk Keep if an editor decides to make this article the location of Colton House topic coverage (temporarily until the deleters go away, or permanently) and makes a couple edits putting "Colton House" in bold and having a large section about it, with a small section for the rest of the development. I note that the previous AFD was essentially about there being nothing there, but now there's a significant development and one clear head-liner, so the arguments for deletion have to be different. Of course that's no problem to say the opposite now. The previous AFD did say something about a spring, could that information be rounded up and added to the current article. Do editors have access to the material of the previous (deleted) article? Maybe this is an obvious Keep on other grounds, in other ways, too, but overall I think this AFD is a waste of time so why not just stop it sooner rather than later. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 15:13, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- Doncram, what is the connection between the archaeological site and the article topic? The journal article you linked is about an area "six square miles adjacent to Winona Station, some seventeen miles East of Flagstaff, Arizona" which is a different location entirely and doesn't mention anything about Colton House/Coyote Springs. –dlthewave ☎ 17:03, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for accessing and reporting on that journal article. I was myself reporting that searching on "Colton House" turns up articles like that. I myself don't know if the Coyote Springs resident-archeologist did archeological digs in Coyote Springs itself; it would be nice if you could sort that out. -- Doncram (talk,contribs) 15:56, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- Well, there was no "Coyote Springs" neighborhood at the time when Colton lived there, and your article doesn't say anything about conducting digs at Colton House. I think that it would be odd for an archaeologist to be working on his own property unless he coincidentally owned some sort of historic site. Are there any other articles that you'd like me to check through the Wikipedia Library resources? –dlthewave ☎ 16:52, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - The sources for Coyote Springs are mainly the routine type of coverage we see for new housing developments; there's not really any lasting coverage beyond the first few years, and nothing discussing it as a community or the people who live there. It's unique in its connection to the Museum of Northern Arizona, but that can be covered in a few sentences at the museum article.
- The NRHP listed Colton House is a different matter. The few sources that cover it in detail mention its obvious connection to the Museum of Northern Arizona, but not the Coyote Springs development. I think that this is best covered within the museum article as part of the section about the Coltons, since its historical significance is mainly due to that family. This could eventually be slit into a standlone article for the Coltons if enough content can be written about it. –dlthewave ☎ 17:00, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

- I agree with the nominator and dlthewave that the sources present are routine coverage and nothing extraordinary for a housing development. Given the connection to the museum, the best solution IMO is merge with Museum of Northern Arizona. I have no objection to creating a separate article for the Colton House which would pass NBUILD as a NRHP-listed property. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 19:19, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- Merge into a new article on the Colton House (item 37 at National Register of Historic Places listings in Coconino County, Arizona). Faily generic housing development, and the coverage is routine stuff about new housing for sale or is associated with the museum and Colton House rather than for standalone notability. Reywas92Talk 19:21, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm glad ppl including Dlthewave figured out that Colton House is in fact already NRHP-listed (as "Coyote Range", which I had not found). It remains that the main Wikipedia coverage of the topic of "Colton House" / "Coyote Range" (which all seem to agree has plenty of RS) could be as a section in this Coyote Springs, Arizona article. There is no requirement that NRHP places get separate, standalone articles, and it is often better to include their main coverage within other articles. It remains that my personal opinion on this AFD is "Keep", leaving it to locally-interested editors to organize the material. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 16:07, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- Update: Okay, I've edited the article to do that. It is linked from the "NRHP listings in Coconino County" list-article, etc. It is started with NRHP infobox and NRHP nomination document and other sources, but is marked "under construction", and help developing would be welcome. This AFD should be closed "Keep". It will be decided by editors there whether to keep it under "Coyote Springs, Arizona" name and include section on "Colton House", or to move it to "Coyote Range" or to "Colton House" and include section on other development of the Coyote Springs community.

Perhaps you saw it after I developed it more and removed the "under construction" tag, and I have gone a bit further since. If this is closed "Keep", I am fine with anyone moving it to "Coyote Range" or "Colton House" while keeping a redirect from "Coyote Springs, Arizona", if they will please revise it to explain (and keeping or revising the hatnote like I put in, mentioning the other Coyote Springs Arizona which gets the most hits in web searching). --Doncram (talk,contribs) 19:53, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

WP:TOOSOON article about a future film, not yet demonstrated as the subject of sufficient production coverage to bypass the primary notability criteria for films at WP:NFILM.
As always, future films are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles the moment they're announced -- exceptions are granted for films that generate an unusually large volume of ongoing production coverage, to the point that even if they failed they'd likely remain notable as failed productions anyway, but the vast majority of films do not pass inclusion criteria until they're actually released and garnering reviews from professional film critics. But the only sources here are two pieces of acknowledgement that this is in the pipeline -- the latter of which indicates that even the script wasn't finished as of that time, let alone any actual shooting actually having started yet, and in fact he didn't even have producers nailed down yet for the purposes of being able to file this in any "Nationality film" categories that it needs to be filed in.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation if and when it actually gets released and starts getting reviewed, but this doesn't have nearly enough coverage to exempt it from the primary NFILM criteria as of today. Bearcat (talk) 14:03, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Cheslaw was an army officer, university lecturer, and State Department official who rose to be US Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago for two years. None of these accomplishments are inherently notable (including being ambassador). Primary sources mark each step: listing him among graduates from UCLA and among second louies commissioned, briefly noting his nomination and confirmation as ambassador, etc. There is a 125 word obituary that reads as if it was written by the family, and a passing mention in the review of a book. He may have been a fine, hard working fellow, but none of this adds up to multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage of him, so he does not meet WP:GNG and should not be the subject of a stand alone article.

- Delete per WP:No original research. There is no evidence that the season itself has been discussed in detail in any of the sources listed. It's hard to assume the many offline refs cover this topic in detail when all we have is a statistical table with no prose. To me this looks like a classic case WP:SYNTH in which coverage of individual games has been spliced together into an article on the entire season. In effect this is original research. What we need is clear evidence of in-depth significant coverage of the season as a whole to demonstrate that the season itself passes WP:SIGCOV; not just merely of coverage of individual events within the season. Until we see some textual evidence in a prose section of the article using these offline sources in a way that its clear these offline sources have in-depth coverage of the 1991–92 Kilmarnock F.C. season as a whole (ie retrospective comments/quotes/analysis about the entire season) I am not seeing a strong argument for keeping this article.4meter4 (talk) 17:42, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- The notability of season articles, from the many discussions relating to them that I've participated in, are from coverage of the year's games; articles discussing the team's season as a whole are not required. What proves notability is that each of their games have coverage (Though, actually, we do have sources covering the season overall in the books, it seems). BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:04, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- That is completely not true BeanieFan. Read WP:GNG. "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. This applies to all articles; including this one. No exceptions. We need sources which address the "1991–92 Kilmarnock F.C. season" "directly and in detail" to prove WP:SIGCOV. It's disturbing to me that this very fundamental rule is not readily apparent to you as a long time participant in AFDs and prolific writer on sports content on wikipedia. Coverage of the parts does not equate to coverage of the whole, and if we are going to write about the whole we need to use sources which contain coverage of the whole and not just the parts. Otherwise it's WP:OR. 4meter4 (talk) 19:53, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- From the many season article deletion discussions I've participated in, that's not how it works. Having tons of coverage on the parts is sufficient to pass GNG. As for your OR point, we've also got several books discussing the season as a whole, and so actually, even if your point about the part/whole was correct, we've still got enough coverage for notability. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:16, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- Well then those hypothetical decisions were made error and didn't follow our written policies. However, this is an WP:OTHERSTUFF argument and is not valid here at AFD.4meter4 (talk) 01:41, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Pointing out that the community's consensus is that such coverage is sufficient towards notability relating to seasons is not an OSE argument; it appears that you are the one who is in error. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:58, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- WP:OUTCOMESBASED arguments are also listed in arguments to avoid. Claiming past "community consensus" without evidence doesn't mean much; particularly when there is no record of a recognized consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes or in our policies on sports teams and their seasons. Even if you were to find a few past examples at AFD, cherry picking a few representative AFDs on the fly is not a guarantee that it is a representative sample of past discussions, and doing so would be an WP:OTHERSTUFF argument. Claiming a community consensus exists at AFD and is a common outcome actually requires an official organized conversation where community input occurs, a consensus is reached, and then voted on and approved before it is officially recognized at the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes list. So no I don't think you are right and I don't think you can make that claim. Best.4meter4 (talk) 02:23, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

- Comment An athletic season in team sports is a collection of games. In the case of particularly notable teams, each game may receive SIGCOV, but we don't allow articles on individual games unless there is something exceptional about the game (e.g., a championship game).. Instead, as a reasonable editorial judgment, we have opted to bundle the coverage into season articles. This is a sound judgment that avoids the proliferation of articles on individual games and allows us to present the information in a more coherent fashion in the context of season articles. I know nothing about the Kilmarnock F.C., and the sources cited are off-line. Accordingly, I offer no opinion on whether this particular article should be kept, but the decision should not be made on the basis that there is abundant SIGCOV, but that SIGCOV is focused on the constiutuent parts of the season (i.e., the games) rather than an overview of the season as a whole. Cbl62 (talk) 22:40, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- And what written policy are you basing that on? In any other topical area on wikipedia where there is an overview topic as the main subject of an article we require significant coverage of that named overview topic in reliable sources; and not merely sources on parts of the topic. The reason for this is to prevent WP:OR/WP:SYNTH. I would argue that editorial decision to bundle coverage of individual games into articles on seasons doesn't supersede our core policies at WP:No original research and WP:GNG. We can not have a collective article on a sports season without sources that directly cover the entire season with in-depth coverage. With no sources of that kind, we are essentially doing original research/synthesis to build an article and not just merely fleshing out gaps in the coverage of the season through the supplementary use of sources on individual games. It would be like writing an article on the human body by only using sources that address individual organs or cells but never looked at the whole body or the body in larger systems. There does need to be at least a couple sources about the season as a whole to demonstrate that this isn't original syntheses. We can't just ignore policies because its editorially convenient.4meter4 (talk) 01:57, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Not eligible for G4, so we're back here. I'm just going to quote Anachronist's comment from the last AfD, since the rationale still holds: "Subject occupies an administrative government position, not really notable per WP:NPOLITICIAN, and for WP:GNG purposes the coverage seems fairly WP:ROUTINE. Much coverage is made of her passing a civil service exam, although I have no way of knowing why that would be notable; even those who pass the world's most difficult exam don't all merit articles here."

- Oppose: WP:NSEASONS qualifies this and almost every other NRL team season article nominated or draftified by this editor.

Storm machine (talk) 00:53, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: looking around and I see a number of rugby league related articles that have suffered from a cycle of creation, redirection, recreation (often multiple times), further redirects, draftifying, and other moves, followed by an AfD process. Surely judicious use of the {{primary sources}} tag and starting relevant discussions on article talk pages, or even visiting the WikiProject Rugby league talk page to enlist editors to expand on articles, would be a better use of time.

E.g., "If there's good, eventually sourceable, content in the article, it should be developed and improved, not deleted." In your nomination statement, you say that the article "currently" fails WP:GNG, but an AfD needs to consider the existence of sources not "currently" in the article. A quick WP:BEFORE search shows that this subject does, in fact, pass GNG. Would you consider withdrawing this so everyone can move on to other issues? Cbl62 (talk) 18:43, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, no. This is the avenue I was told to pursue at ANI, and I agreed to abide by the consensus of the discussion. When an article does not pass WP:GNG, reviewers can do one of several things rather than sending to AfD or PROD, once those other choices are contested, regardless of how absurd the contention, and the article is not improved enough to pass WP:GNG, PROD or AfD are the only options left.

- The practice you are outlining (nominating for deletion without regard to whether SIGCOV exists) not only runs afoul of AFDISNOTCLEANUP, but also is contrary to WP:INTROTODELETE: "When not to use the deletion process: Articles that are in bad shape – these can be tagged for cleanup or attention, or improved through editing."

- I don't think so. There is clearly no "consensus" there that it is acceptable to nominate an article for deletion: (i) without doing a WP:BEFORE, (ii) where abundant SIGCOV is revealed by a simple BEFORE search, (iii) simply because it needs improvement (which would be contrary to both WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP and WP:INTROTODELETE). The correct solution in this case would be to tag the article for cleanup, but not to send it to AfD. Cbl62 (talk) 19:27, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Contested redirect. Single in-depth source from an independent reference.

- Hi Onel, I get the concern about the single source, but there doesn't seem to be any other publicly accessible one. I understand the consensus is in this case that it's acceptable if the source is reliable?
- In terms of reliability, from what I've found, Jeremy Mills Publishing changed its name to Riasca UK Ltd in 2014 and has since dissolved (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04323450) with the director going on to a book conservation organisation. The director states that they focused on "specialist niche titles" (https://jeremymillspublishing.blogspot.com/2007/11/visit-our-website.html) which would explain why they went for this book. I've found nothing to suggest that this source is notable for faulty fact checking, poor oversight, or conflict of interest.
- The beginning of the book contains an acknowledgements section, listing three members of the Croydon Auxiliary Fire Service (Neil Wallington, Ron Bentley, and Eric Billingham) as sources, as well as records held at the Croydon Archives Library such as annual reports, the books "Croydon and the Second World War" and "Croydon Courageous". Additionally, it mentions that many records have been lost since, explaining the lack of sources on this subject. The author, Eddie Baker, appears to be a frequent publisher of UK fire brigade books (https://www.waterstones.com/author/eddie-baker/61614), and this book was reported in local press on coming out as well as being celebrated by the local fire brigade (https://web.archive.org/web/20050103125928fw_/http://www.jeremymillspublishing.co.uk/paper2.GIF) (https://web.archive.org/web/20050310190245fw_/http://www.jeremymillspublishing.co.uk/paper1.GIF)
- It would be great to have another source, but this appears to be the only one. I believe this to be a reliable, independent, secondary source published by a respectable publishing house as required by WP:SOURCE and so I think that it meets WP:GNG.

Despite playing 134 mins of professional football over a decade ago, I'm not seeing the depth required for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Searches including this one did not yield any decent coverage. Even Nemzeti Sport had nothing useful. I found 2 Q&A articles and will explain why they are not sufficient. Felvidek is not an independent source since it's based on a press release from FC ŠTK 1914 Šamorín, his employer at the time. It also contains no independent analysis of his responses so, as per consensus at footballer AfDs, we wouldn't regard it as significant. Sportolunk is another basic Q&A with no meaningful content from anyone other than Ágh himself, so does not confer notability. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 11:06, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

- The bigger concern with the Felvidek source is that it lacks any substantial independent content. Last week, Zoltán Ágh, the newest member of STK Somorja, trained hard. He returned to Somorja after a half-year detour from Sopron is pretty much all that it says about him. Most of the rest is direct quotes from him and consensus at AfD is that Q&As with little independent content do not confer notability. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 15:35, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Private primary school with no claim to notability. Only sources I can find are ones like DIY Schools which are way short of WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:GNG. There are also several red flags in the article such as "Vignan Vidyalaya does not have its own building and runs in a rented building." and "The school has total of 5 classrooms." which are essentially admissions that the school is not a notable school. Primary schools are almost never notable and I'm not seeing this as being the rare exception. I can't even find any WP:RS that would be worth creating a section on the school in Rayagada with.

- Yes, it is true you need multiple sources. I'm suspicious of some of the reports put forward by some research agencies where it is difficult to identify the author or where they just don't look right. Also, I found reports mentioned on "Market Research Future" but this website is registered on Wikipedia's Blacklist. So while this "GLOBAL AND UNITED STATES INTRUSION DETECTION AND PREVENTION SOFTWARE MARKET SIZE, STATUS AND FORECAST 2021-2027" report by Kingpin Market Research is ... difficult ... to validate, this "Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems Software Market Analysis 2022" by Stratagem is probably OK. Once you go searching though, there appears to be sufficient reports and all in all - unless someone can point to a reason to discount these references - I think there's enough here to say that there exists sufficient sources that meet the criteria for establishing notability.

Also it showcases the design platform's history and milestones, such as being selected by Apple as "Best of 2014" and by Google as "Best of 2020." These recognitions from prominent tech companies demonstrate the platform's notability in the industry and suggest that it has had a significant impact in its field.

Contested draftify (see Draft:Keo-Oudone Souvannasangso).

Best I can find from Laotian sources are Muan, Lao Phattana and Vientiane Times, all of which are essentially just a squad announcement where he is mentioned once. The only decent Latin script source that I can find is Football 5 star, an Indonesian article about an U23 fixture which mentions him only 3 times and doesn't give anything that we can build a biography from.

Merged and redirected as failing N and unneeded CFORK, but rv. Fails GNG and NGEO as well as EVENT and LASTING.

Finally there is Belvidere North State Street Historic District which has a spot for it Belvidere North State Street Historic District#Apollo Theatre.

- The summit attendees have released their promised charter, they have styled themselves as the ADFI, so the obvious and logical thing to do is to expand the scope of this article to be about the alliance and its future political action. (Unless your goal is to undermine this Iranian opposition group, and support the existing regime, in which case you might deliberately ignore this fact and then nominate the article for deletion)
- Jaredscribe (talk) 18:43, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- I moved the article because after one week there was no response, which is presumed consensus.
- Its not a "completely" different topic, its an expansion of this same topic.
- If the AfD ignores this, then the AfD may be a disruptive process.
- Also, @ParadaJulio rolled back a citation and several other constructive contributions. If this user insists on reverting the article-move to its original name, then he should please WP:PRESERVE the other content. Jaredscribe (talk) 18:45, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Now that the proposed move has been explicitly supported by @Gharouni, who is the only other constructive contributor to this article, we have not only presumed consensus for the move, but unanimous and decisive consensus for the move as well.
- Jaredscribe (talk) 18:51, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- A few citations to the Iranian english language media, have now been provided on the article to substantiate the notable existence of the ADFI.
- Some of those citations were also on the article which you actively worked to delete, as you know.

- Remind you of our policy: Wikipedia:Guide to deletion § Considerations
- |"First do the necessary homework and look for sources yourself, and invite discussion on the talk page by using the {{notability}} template, if you are disputing the notability of an article's subject. The fact that you haven't heard of something, or don't personally consider it worthy, are not criteria for deletion. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth."
- @ParadaJulio has not even attempted to do this. I have now undertaken to do it, the AfD should be closed as "Keep", since the nominator is evidently WP:Tendentious Jaredscribe (talk) 18:49, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- The nominator was also substantially tendentious in the earlier AfD, by inaccurately alleging the NCRI's efforts to be a "hoax", and then doubling down on that false claim in a Sockpuppet investigation. And is now continuing that WP:Disruptive editing behavior here:
- Talk:National_Council_of_Resistance_of_Iran#2023_U.S._House_Resolution_100
- Since @ParadaJulio is now continuing to press these false allegations against in ANI along with his cohort @AndyTheGrump, I will ask that these users be dealt a penalty equivalent to the penalty that they are seeking to have dealt against me. Jaredscribe (talk) 19:46, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. I'm not going to participate directly in this AfD discussion, as it might be seen inappropriate in circumstances where I'm involved in a dispute with one of the participants in regard to another article, but I would like to suggest that Jaredscribe's hand-waving at talk-page discussions elsewhere is contrary to the process laid out in WP:DISCUSSAFD. It is entirely unreasonable to expect a closer to read though material elsewhere in the hope of figuring out exactly what the 'reasons stated' are. Policy-based arguments for a 'keep' are generally simple to make (e.g. through demonstrating that sufficient third-party sources exist etc), and should be stated directly in the AfD discussion, where they can be assessed by all, and responded to if appropriate. If Jaredscribe wants his arguments for keeping the article to be taken into consideration, he should state them explicitly here. And if he isn't prepared to do that, the closer will, in my opinion, be entirely justified in simply ignoring them. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:53, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi. At least his/her reasons are more reasonable in comparison to other two users that have requested to delete the article. It is even more reasonable in comparison to the reasons that the user who has nominated the article for AFD. This article is about some important current events and as it was requested the title change is now necessary. This article will need to be completed and more information added to it gradually as they happen. I requested speedy deletion as creator of this article (it was declined as there are other users involved) because I was sure this article would never be nominated for any reasons, to be deleted, except for some other reasons that I can not say. Thanks for your comment. Gharouni Talk 06:37, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- Changing the topic of the article with forbidden synthesis is not a valid argument to keep the article. Jaredscribe also tried to do this in another recent AfD with a similar topic, which obviously ended up being deleted. AndyTheGrump is correct that Jaredscribe's approach here goes against policy. ParadaJulio (talk) 09:03, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- 1. That the ADFI exists, was birthed from this "future of" meeting, and has published a manifesto, is not a synthetic statement. It is accurate reporting of the WP:Verifiable facts, and is therefore a valid argument for keeping the article.
- 2.0 This article on the ADFI is a particular article about a specific group, not a WP:Broad-concept article like the other, therefore not an apt comparison, and not as susceptible to the possibility of inadvertently admitting synthetic OR.
- 2.1 The other article is now renamed (as I had proposed) and is being incubated at User:Jaredscribe/Iranian_democracy_movements. It has been shared with WP:WikiProject Iran and eventually will be published with more sources and without the problematic name (which was the only "synthetic" claim in the article). In the AfD itself I had acknowledged this problem - I'm not unaware or insensitive to it. I agree to abide by our WP:Content policy including the prohibition on WP:Original research, and to abide by the mostly fair decision of the closing admin in that AfD case.
- Regards, Jaredscribe (talk) 19:26, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding @Gharouni and for signalling your agreement with proposed move. Since we are the only constructive contributors to this article, it seems that there is now unanimous consensus for it.

- Delete per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:SYNTH. The article currently cobbles together a subject based on a Georgetown conference titled "the future of Iran's democracy movement" plus citations to a wide range of opinion and news pieces that briefly touch on the "future" of the movement. The Georgetown conference does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NEVENT, and the other sources do not identify a separate "future" topic distinct from the current Mahsa Amini protests and historical protest movements in Iran. Maybe notability could be established for Alliance for Democracy and Freedom in Iran, but the currently cited sources do not come close to meeting WP:ORGCRITE so I would not be in favor of moving this page at this time. signed, Rosguill talk 15:56, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per Rosguill. The article strings together weak to irrelevant sources, many of which fail to assert any kind of WP:GNG for this topic ("The future of Iran's democracy movement" or "The Alliance for Democracy and Freedom in Iran"). The current Mahsa Amini protests is the notable movement here, not the Georgetown conference or its socalled "coalition of activists", for which there aren’t enough sources to justify notability. JoseJan89 (talk) 07:56, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per Rosguill and JoseJan89. This is WP:CRYSTAL in the extreme.

- Tentatively Keep: I've just done some editing on that page, adding its current website, and an "External links" item to a page there of news clippings about it (in Croatian). Unfortunately things like date and even name of newspaper aren't shown, so it will take some time to track them down and cite them properly... but at least for now you can see that there are quite a few news stories about the subject. Pending dates and publication details, it looks like they're visibly "newsworthy" in the papers' opinions, whether or not ours. If they're all one newspaper, or a house publication, I'll change my mind; hence the tentativeness of my "Keep". – •Raven .talk 02:13, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

No evidence of notability. I can see simple mentions of it in books but no discussion.

He is half-Italian, was born William Coppola, and according to a legal filing by the Texas prison authority, was not listed as Native American on at least one of his purported birth.'" Iron Thunderhorse's article was basically written by the same editor who wrote this one in 2007 IIRC. Thunderhorse is a wannabe New Ager with a lot of self-published stuff and articles in "Ancient American" which edited by Frank Collin and is the usual fraudulent archaeology stuff, everybody came to America with some right wing stuff thrown in.

The result was delete. There have been, quite frankly a plethora of points made in this discussion that do very little to advance the discussion such as the comparable notability, photos, title construction, claiming sources exist without pointing to them, pointing to primary sources, etc. All have been given very little weight.
There was a dispute as to if Film Daily sources are reliable enough to count for notability purposes. I would have preferred a discussion at RSN, but the ad hoc analysis was compelling that it is not. I suggest that editors further explore this issue.
There was a late proposal to merge the article into Roslyn Chasan. I considered a third relist, but decided against it. The discussion was already longer than the majority of AfDs and had a wide swath of editors involved. If editors would like to place a redirect on-top of the deletion and merge in some of the content, they can through normal editorial channels. Guerillero Parlez Moi 15:04, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - I've read through the sources and given there are full page newspaper spreads showing photos of this house, it is clear that it is notable. Also, it would not make sense to delete this page given the more than dozen references to the house from newspapers popular in Los Angeles at the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:A990:D300:BCE9:F105:D9DD:538A (talk) 00:32, 20 March 2023 (UTC) — 2600:4040:A990:D300:BCE9:F105:D9DD:538A (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Keep - The naming convention used by this page, The Chasan Villa is in-line with other structures both demolished and standing in Los Angeles. These follow the format [(optional) Article] [Owner] [Structure Type] [(optional) Location], and in the press (e.g. the citation to The Daily Breeze from 1982) "The" is included in the name and the structure is specifically referred to as a "villa," that would make this page follow the structure of: "The Chasan Villa".
Examples of this naming convention for other notable standing structures are The Barn (Los Angeles), Hills and Dales Estate, Sheats–Goldstein Residence and Don Abel Stearns House, and examples of demolished structures in Los Angeles are Von Sternberg House, Carrillo House, Palomar Ballroom, and Arcade Depot. Noting that the more than 10 sources used in The Chasan Villa article are more robust and directly mention the property more than the sources in any of the above, none of these pages fail WP:GNG so as the The Chasan Villa has more references than these structures and none of its references have failed the reliability and independence test, this article should not fail GNG.

- Keep - I have been following The Chasan Villa and related pages (as well as making minor contributions) for the last few weeks. Looking at the examples above, I agree that this property is at least (if not more) notable than many of the other properties in its categories like Bently Nob Hill, William O. Jenkins House, Jackling House, Athenaeum at Caltech given the number of sources that mention the villa. From a naming perspective, looking to Beverly Estate as an example, The Chasan Villa's name is following the same naming convention as other existing properties even if not directly stated in its sources. 199.192.65.251 (talk) 19:29, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

- This is also not true: I added no new content to Roslyn Chasan (made cleanup changes of 91 characters in total or 0.4% of the article as can be seen by its page history) and then completed BubbaJoe123456's request for The Chasan Villa, by adding four additional sources and improving NPOV that BubbaJoe123456 had started. My edits to the article were not the addition of new content as can be seen on the page's history, rather sourcing of content that was already existing on the page. Given the Roslyn page referenced her husband Fred who was also notable, using the sources suggested by Wikipedia's find sources guidelines which directed me to Google, I researched and wrote the initial content for Fred Chasan, a page not in question, which was given a good rating by other editors as noted on its Talk page. 199.192.65.251 (talk) 00:34, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. The naming of article is fine, not an issue. FWIW i mostly edit about historic places including houses and weigh in on most AFDs about historic houses in the U.S. and worldwide. Photos and existing article are convincing of significance. About former buildings, the argument which always governs is "once notable always notable". I dunno if there's sentiment about this being a rich family's "villa", somewhat of a mansion, as opposed to the attention that might be paid for another's, but the amounts of money involved are part of the substantiveness. And the photogenicity of the house, and availability of photos for use in the article and usage of photos in past coverage are part of the substantiveness too. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 05:06, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

- Regarding claim "If this wasn't registered in the NRHP or the local equivalent, it isn't a notable structure", what does that say about all the NRHP-listed places, before they were listed? So no more places will ever be NRHP-listed, because if they were notable they would have been listed already? And certainly there are lots of notable structures that are never NRHP-listed due to owner preferences or other reasons. (I !voted "Keep" above.) --Doncram (talk,contribs) 01:07, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Just checking the first reference provided in last !vote before relisting, I see that [47] is very substantial coverage, making argument why this house is notable while others destroyed by water leaks eroding cliff are not.

- That filmdaily.co site definitely doesn't look like an RS to me, rather as a spam site dressed up to look like a news site.

- Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBUILDING. While there are reliable sources that mention the house, I am not seeing any reliable sources where the house itself is the primary subject or where the house is addressed in detail other than a few WP:PRIMARY sources like the court documents listed above (which don't count towards GNG as PRIMARY sources) or in unreliable sources. Likewise I am not seeing any evidence that the house meets any of the criteria at NBUILDING. Measurements like an official NRHP listing matter because we have to have some ways of determining notability for building that is objective and not subjective. Outside of meeting one of those criteria at NBUILDING, we are only left with GNG and that standard has not been met.4meter4 (talk) 04:11, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- I get it, the secondary sources such as the filmdaily.co article are dismissed by at least one !voter here essentially because they are secondary (i.e. written by someone who writes about a lot of things); the primary sources (thanks Editchecker123 for identifying the litigations and that 901 Paseo Del Mar is a good alternative search term to use) are to be dismissed because they are primary? Also I am not familiar with a "rule" that primary documents "don't count towards GNG", but even if that is, it remains that the primary sources make more material available for explicit development of the article and also provide depth for readers, i.e. as links which a reader can follow for more details. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 04:42, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- There's a pretty good summation at WP:PST. The gist of it is that primary documents don't analyze and interpret the material the way secondary sources do. If we engage in analysis ourselves, we run afoul of WP:SYNTH, so we use secondary sources. The rest is just an attempt to ensure the secondary sources we use are reasonably accurate.

- I am not seeing the notability here. The filmdaily.co site is definitely not a reliable source as there is no listed editorial board, no indicia of editorial control such as corrections or updates to prior articles, and the site presents me with spammy links such as "View John Wick 4 online" and "Purchase Instagram followers cheap". The others are genuine but fall into 3 basic categories: articles that deal with the landslide, and treat a number of properties as a group; articles that are primarily about the owners that mention the house; or municipal government/court records involving the house. None of these speak to notability in my opinion. In the article's favor, verifiability is not a problem, so I could support a merge to Roslyn Chasan, the former owner. She is mentioned in a couple of the articles as designing the house along with the (apparently non-notable) architect. More importantly, while I haven't done an in-depth check it appears that her article may have the sourcing to survive an AfD; I am considerably less confident that is the case for the other possible target Fred Chasan.

Violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY, which tells us Disambiguation pages (such as John Smith) are not intended to be complete listings of every person named John Smith—just the notable ones
. Cannot be converted into a redirect as there are multiple articles that mention a Charles Lott; Mount St Bernard Abbey, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, The Way Back (2020 film), James Madison Dukes men's basketball statistical leaders, New Zealand Supply Contingent Somalia, and V/H/S/99.

- Delete. The relevant guidelines here are at MOS:DABMENTION, and this dab page doesn't meet them. It has two entries, for two different fictional characters from the same series. Both entries point to the same article Between (TV series), which has no content about either of those characters apart from a mention in the cast list. The dab previously had an entry for Charles F. Lott, which linked to the now deleted List of members of the California Senate from Butte County. It doesn't seem like any of the other people with the name mentioned here and there on Wikipedia have any meaningful content about them. – Uanfala (talk) 14:50, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep it has several entries (I added more) which meet MOS:DABMENTION, they are mentioned within articles. And what gain would there be from deletion? Dabs are cheap and this is potentially WP:USEFUL. BilledMammal, Uanfala Boleyn (talk) 17:52, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

- Per WP:USEFUL:
There are some pages within Wikipedia that are supposed to be useful navigation tools and nothing more—disambiguation pages, categories, and redirects, for instance—so usefulness is the basis of their inclusion; for these types of pages, usefulness is a valid argument.
-- Tavix (talk) 18:45, 6 March 2023 (UTC)- The list, however, is not useful. Up until Boleyn added those examples it made it harder to find the majority of articles mentioning a Charles Lott, not easier - and since no one will add such mentions to the dab, as proven by the fact that no one did until I nominated it, it will soon by out of date and again make it harder to find mentions of Charles Lott. BilledMammal (talk) 18:51, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

- A disambiguation page lists the articles in which you will find subjects with that name covered by Wikipedia. It is useful if you are searching for a Charles Lott to be presented with the places in which Wikipedia covers various people with the name. I do find that policy is clear in my favor, but I digress. -- Tavix (talk) 19:51, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- If the dab page was kept updated, it would be as useful as the search function. Since it is not it is less useful and impedes readers from accessing search results on Charles Lott. But all that matters to this AfD is whether it violates NOTDIRECTORY; references to DABMENTION and arguments about usefulness aren't relevant, because we have a policy that is very clear on this question and a local consensus here is forbidden from overriding it. BilledMammal (talk) 20:36, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Have you done a search for Charles Lott? 2,422 results and the first two after the disambiguation page are irrelevant: Ronnie Lott and Trent Lott. In order to get more manageable search results, one would have to put it in quotes, which takes more time and not everyone is keen to do. Even then, the first result is Charles Edward Church, which is listed because he is
the son of Charles Lott Anthony Church and Sarah Hiltz
. Well that's also irrelevant, no one is going to be searching for someone's father's first and middle name. On the other hand, the disambiguation is helpful because these results have been curated to only include what is "helpful to the reader". So yes, it's much more useful than search results. I do find WP:DABMENTION to be very relevant because it defines notability for the purposes of inclusion in a disambiguation page. If we have guidance, we should not be dismissing it outright. The guidance is there because it is generally accepted within the community. Sure, there are times when it makes sense to ignore the guidance if it improves Wikipedia, but I do not find this to be one of those times. -- Tavix (talk) 20:55, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. This is not even useful, since it obscures search results. Compare WP:R#DELETE,
The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine. For example, if the user searches for "New Articles", and is redirected to a disambiguation page for "Articles", it would take much longer to get to the newly added articles on Wikipedia
– this is a similar situation. WP:DABMENTION says that on dab pages we may use links to articles that only mention the subject, but it does not say that we have to keep dab pages that only contain such entries.

- Delete Fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY, the only policy that has direct bearing on this. WP:DABMENTION is just a manual of style guideline, and as such it tells how, not when, to mention an entry that lacks a single matching article title. WP:D applies to potential article titles and subtopics, not every single trivial topic mentioned in passing anywhere; dab pages are not search engines. This is no more "useful" than the search function itself, and has the disadvantage of requiring maintenance every time one of the entries is updated. Avilich (talk) 02:37, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- The bit in WP:NOTDIRECTORY is a stray mention that's still there because nobody noticed when it was boldly added. It's still mostly correct though, we all agree that
Disambiguation pages (such as John Smith) are not intended to be complete listings of every person named John Smith
, but then the next bitjust the notable ones
, is false. Or at the very least, an oversimplification of the more detailed and nuanced rules in the dedicated dab guidelines. – Uanfala (talk) 11:40, 20 March 2023 (UTC)- It's also there because when editors attempted to remove that sentence, ten years later, there wasn't a consensus to do so. BilledMammal (talk) 03:58, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- And, if my recollection is correct, there was no consensus to either keep or remove it because many of the participants were unaware of the dab guidelines and believed that sentence to be the only thing standing in the way of people creating dab pages listing every Bob, Dick and Harry who ever lived. – Uanfala (talk) 14:40, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

- Weak Delete, fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY, which trumps WP:DABMENTION as the former is a policy and the latter is a manual of style guideline. I've considered DABMENTION to be used only when there is a subject which does not have an article but shares its name with at least one subject who does have an article (such as the "John Smith" in Mr. & Mrs. Smith who lacks standalone notability) as the search function would be affected by the presence of the "notable" subject. In this case, no person named Charles Lott has an article so there is no purpose to have this DAB page. Frank Anchor 13:02, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- As I argued above, WP:DABMENTION also supports deletion. However, this whole policy vs. guideline angle is misleading. It's not the case that every single piece of text on any policy page would have stronger community support than anything found in a guideline. In this case, the relevant sentence of NOTDIRECTORY was only ever discussed a few months ago, and that discussion resulted in no consensus. DABMENTION, on the other hand, reflects almost two decades of good practice, and its last major discussion, again from last year, was on a proposal to make it slightly stricter (though not nearly as strict as the bit in NOTDIRECTORY). That met with almost unanimous community opposition. – Uanfala (talk) 14:40, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
However, this whole policy vs. guideline angle is misleading.
It's not; we've got a policy, WP:POLCON, which tells us how to deal with situations where policies and guidelines conflict. I also think you misunderstand the opposition removing the sentence from NOTDIRECTORY. BilledMammal (talk) 15:30, 21 March 2023 (UTC)- What matters here is that the guideline has strong consensus while the bit in that policy page has no consensus. The rest is legalistic irrelevance. – Uanfala (talk) 16:15, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- Your personal assessment of the strength of consensus behind NOTDIRECTORY and DABMENTION is not relevant; both have consensus, as evidenced by their inclusion in the relevant pages, and under policy NOTDIRECTORY overrules DABMENTION. If you disagree with that you will need to propose a change to WP:POLCON.BilledMammal (talk) 16:22, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep, as an absolutely reasonable use of disambiguation. The search function is useless here, as it will merely pull up a collection of articles that happen to use the word "Charles" one place and "Lott" another, with no refinement for finding people with the given name Charles and the surname Lott.

- ? Searching on wikipedia for "Charles Lott" gives me 12 results, all of them for people with the given name Charles and the surname Lott. JoelleJay (talk) 17:09, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- That is not even a correct reading of that search result, as one of the subjects is "Charles Lott Anthony Church" (aka, Charles Church with some middle names), while excluding any results for a person whose first name is Charles, last name is Lott, and has a middle name or initial. BD2412 T 21:26, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, so I assumed for the second issue you could just use the standard search wildcard in that case:"Charles*Lott". But when I tried that for "Charles*Anthony Church" it didn't work for some reason (maybe wildcards don't work with spaces?). So instead you can use "Charles Church"~2 which will return everything with 0 to 2 extra words between "Charles" and "Church". But anyway, if ease of searching is the main motivation, why should a subjective, manually- and inconsistently-maintained index exist only for items with the same name? Surely there are plenty of people with unique given name-surname pairs who have middle names and thus wouldn't show up with the quotation marks? JoelleJay (talk) 02:56, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:DABMENTION. DABMENTION should be used only in cases where the topic is "discussed within another article", not just merely mentioned in passing. We only should place articles in a disambiguation page when the target article will "help readers find information about the sought topic". In this case, the dab page itself contained all the information about these topics and the target articles had no more information to offer. This seems like a false promise, and misapplication of the policy. There needs to at least be a sentence of prose containing some information about the various "Charles Lott"s not on the dab page to warrant inclusion on the dab page. I'll also note that many these articles also lacked inline citations regarding the various Charles Lotts. I don't think anybody would be searching for these particular people either as I doubt any of these topics, fictional Charles Lotts included, would be likely search terms. They certainly wouldn't be independently notable.4meter4 (talk) 04:30, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

The result was consensus non habemus. There are reasonable arguments to be made for redirecting or merging (minor aspect of a notable film), as well as for keeping (the scene has coverage in reliable sources), and whether these really suffice as the basis of an article is a matter of editorial judgment not to be second-guessed by your closer.

- Keep. Individual scenes from some films take on a life of their own, and this appears to be an example. Wikipedia has at least two from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, concerning the Knights who say 'Ni!' and the Rabbit of Caerbannog. Evidently there are sources unaffiliated with the movie that discuss this scene, whether in discussions of Latin grammar or for the sheer silliness of it. Perhaps more such sources could be cited. As for the argument that it should be redirected to a list of Latin phrases, there is simply too much content necessary to explain it; and in fact this is much the same reason for not merging it with the article about the film: as a section of that article it would be too lengthy, and would probably need to be split off to produce—this article. Finally, it's harmless and people might just be looking for it, so there are good reasons to have an article, and nothing is really improved by deleting it. There may be other articles about scenes in films that can't really be justified, but this one seems good enough to stay. P Aculeius (talk) 17:51, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete (or at the very least a smerge). The discussion on the grammar is a blatant violation of WP:NOTTEXTBOOK and shouldn't be in the article regardless, and this is otherwise just a description of one scene in a movie. While it may be a well known scene, it doesn't rise anywhere near to the level of notability for a standalone article. WP:NOPAGE applies here. One single source which uses this as an example of linguistic humor is nice, but it's not enough for GNG. A couple sentences at the main article would be more than sufficient..."so-and-so has used this scene as an instructive example of linguistic humor in movies..." or something to that effect. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 03:38, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- The discussion of the grammar is exactly the point of the scene's notability and its coverage. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:06, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Even more reason that this shouldn't be an article then. Is the topic of the article the scene or is it the phrase? If it's the scene, WP doesn't include articles about individual movie scenes except maybe in very exceptional circumstances. The closest I could find is in all of WP was Poole versus HAL 9500, and that's really about the game depicted in the scene rather than the scene itself. Any well loved movie (and a lot of not-so-well loved ones too) are going to have their well known scenes dissected by critics, by cinephiles, by people writing in reliable sources. But again, WP:NOPAGE is key here. If it's particularly noteworthy, it can be mentioned in the main article on the film. Is the topic then the phrase? If so, it isn't notable except in the context of the film. Again then, at best, mention it on the film's article. Edit: oh wait, I finally did manage to find one: Han shot first. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 06:01, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- In my reading, WP:NOPAGE (which is also called WP:PAGEDECIDE), supports the existence of this article. Ignoring sources "by critics, by cinephiles, by people writing in reliable sources" is ignoring WP:RS, which works both ways. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:50, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with Michael Bednarek: a cinematic debate or discussion of grammar is not what WP:NOTTEXTBOOK is about; this article is not a "how-to", but a discussion of a movie scene that has taken on a life of its own—the possibility that a reader might actually learn something about Latin grammar is incidental. I see nothing in WP:NOPAGE that suggests this article shouldn't exist; it's just general advice about how to determine whether a topic is better as a stand-alone article or as part of another article. In this case the discussion and explanation of the scene seems to be of an appropriate length and detail for the subject, and that discussion is too long and detailed to be folded into the main article about the film; hence, a stand-alone article seems justified. Often, notable scenes can be fully discussed within other pages, but this one simply requires more context and explanation than that treatment would allow. P Aculeius (talk) 14:13, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- This scene has not "taken on a life of its own". It's one reasonably well known scene in a reasonably well known movie. You can find more written about countless others, but given the fact there's a total of one (1) other article in all of Wikipedia about a movie scene (that I could find), established precedent about how to handle this situation appears clear: individual scenes from movies do not get separate articles (at least not without some very extraordinary circumstance, like the SW one...this is where NOPAGE comes in). If you want to change this, you should write a new notability guideline on individual scenes and propose it for wider adoption. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 16:28, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- That's your opinion—if various reliable sources talk about a specific scene, then one can certainly say it's taken on a life of its own. But as this is a metaphor, I'm not going to waste time trying to "prove" it to someone whose opinion is clearly different. I pointed out two other movie scenes that have their own articles, and I might have come up with others had I bothered searching for them; they were simply the ones that I was already aware of. And your lack of awareness of others does not constitute any kind of precedent or policy concerning their general notability. If anything, the fact that such articles have been created and curated for a number of years would seem to argue that there is a general consensus in favour of such articles existing, for the very reasons stated at NOPAGE. That doesn't mean that every memorable scene in every famous film should have its own article, but it's a long way from extracting a rule, stated nowhere in the encyclopedia, that no scene in any movie should be split off into a separate article. If you want to create such a rule, it's up to you to rewrite the notability guidelines. P Aculeius (talk) 16:56, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

- Splitting hairs doesn't change the basic reality of the situation. They're really about individual scenes, even if they allude to things that happened in other scenes, and there's never been anything wrong with splitting off articles that are too detailed for a proper discussion as part of larger topics. The only argument against it seems to be, "I don't think this is important, so it shouldn't have an article." P Aculeius (talk) 21:38, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

- Draftify while it may be notable, it’s current state is not good and needs some work to incorporate actual sources and make the text more encyclopedic (precedent might actually lean towards deletion for this scenario, judging by another AFD I was in, for GONN but I don’t really agree with that) MRN2electricboogaloo (talk) 14:43, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- This article does not appear to meet the criteria for WP:DRAFTIFY. Whether the article "has some merit" seems to be the main subject of discussion, although currently a majority of commenters including yourself seem either convinced or willing to entertain the possibility. However, it clearly "meets the required standard", as it is 1) already more substantial than a stub, 2) has a reasonable chance of surviving AfD, 3) is not a candidate for speedy deletion, and 4) is not a recent creation (it was created in 2005, and has over 200 edits, as well as an average of over 150 daily page views over the 90 days preceding its nomination for deletion, which is far more than many perfectly good articles). To this I would add 5) several editors participating in this discussion are satisfied that it belongs in mainspace, even if it could stand to be improved (as nearly all articles can—and many articles in mainspace are in poorer shape than this one), and 6) there do not appear to be any issues regarding copyright violations, as everything is properly attributed, or conflicts of interest involving the editors (not that we would expect any, given the age of the film). The defects in this article can be met by the normal process of editing it in mainspace—and Wikipedia policy explicitly states that there is no time limit for improving articles. P Aculeius (talk) 15:07, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi. I think those parameters are only pertinent when an article is simply draftified, without discussion. DRAFTIFY clearly states, "Articles may be moved to become a draft as a result of a deletion discussion." Onel5969 TT me 01:39, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- That doesn't appear to be the case. Otherwise the very clear guideline, "2d. The page is a recent creation by an inexperienced editor. Older articles should not be draftified. As a rule of thumb, articles older than 90 days should not be draftified without prior consensus at AfD." (emphasis in original) would not make sense. And we clearly do not have consensus for that, nor do the other criteria suggest that this article would be suitable for draftification. Or to restate: this article is not a draft, nor does it resemble a draft. If every article that could stand to have more citations were draftified, half the encyclopedia would vanish overnight. This is a simple case of a short article that could be improved by adding more sources, like countless others. It is already in better shape than many other articles that would never be draftified. The only reason for doing so would be as a backdoor to deletion—which AfD clearly states is not an appropriate reason for draftifying an article. P Aculeius (talk) 04:37, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

- Something about this particular claim has been bothering me: "a coat-rack to quote a Monty Python sketch excessively." Looking at the script (the very first source cited), the scene contains forty-four lines of dialogue, excluding stage directions. The quoted section contains seven consecutive lines focusing on the incorrect identification of domum as the locative of domus, when in fact the construction is accusative. These lines contain a total of forty-two words, less than half the length for which the Chicago Manual of Style would recommend a block quotation, if they came from a single paragraph (before I checked, I was thinking of a similar standard that requires just fifty words). There must be thousands of articles on Wikipedia that contain more and longer quotations of material still under copyright than this; the length and proportion of the original dialogue quoted is clearly not "excessive".

- Nor can the article properly be described as a coat-rack to get the quoted lines into Wikipedia. The quoted lines are directly relevant to the section in which they occur, and illustrate what it is that is wrong about the dialogue; it is difficult to imagine a better way to do so. The quoted material does not contain any jokes, unless you count the description of the centurion holding his sword to Brian's throat—which while accurate and helpful, is not actually quoted from the script, and therefore occurs in square brackets. The scene is funny because of the context in which it occurs, as described by the non-quoted text and the sources cited, not because of the mistake made concerning the distinction between the accusative and the locative. There is no reason to quote these lines other than to explain the mistake.
- Because there is a legitimate purpose for quoting these specific lines where they occur, which purpose is borne out by the sources cited in that section, and because the amount of material quoted constitutes only a small portion (a bit less than 1/7) of the dialogue in the scene, with a total of less than fifty words, the claim that the entire article is merely "a coat-rack to quote a Monty Python sketch excessively" is clearly wrong. P Aculeius (talk) 13:47, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Monty Python's Life of Brian#Plot. The sourcing to establish notability for this scene as a topic of its own is weak. Of the four cited sources, one is just a transcription of the scene from the film, and another is just a definition of the Latin word domus. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:42, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- There are now seven sources, with the addition of three scholarly discussions of the scene in historical, linguistic, and social context. The subject was already too detailed to be covered adequately in the article about the film, which is why it was split off in the first place. Now it is even more so.

- Keep, per Michael Bednarek and P Aculeius. —Cote d'Azur (talk) 08:24, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I have cited three scholarly discussions of the article. One discusses the use of the classroom discourse model to produce humor from linguistics, subverting the viewer's expectations from historical context; a second discusses how the scene depicts resistance to the Roman occupation of Judaea, compared with the historical reality; a third compares the use of satirical classroom discourse as a distraction from the primary issue of the Roman occupation to modern political debate over social matters, as the author suggests a misleading focus on details such as non-binary pronouns. I've also added a source further explaining the grammatical error involving the use of the locative, and rewritten the paragraph in which it occurs.All of these sources were easily obtainable just by clicking the links above—but once again, AfD has been used as a substitute for the appropriate editorial process. Please consult WP:BEFORE; for an article to be deleted due to lack of sources, the nominator should attempt to determine whether such sources exist, not whether they have been cited. If they exist, then the nomination should fail. But here the burden was inappropriately shifted to those voting "keep", thereby inverting Wikipedia policy to say the opposite of what it actually does. AfD is intended to deal with articles that cannot be improved through reasonable effort. It is not a tool for editors who can't be bothered to improve articles themselves to force others to do it for them. P Aculeius (talk) 14:39, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

- Comment: In addition to various articles relating to the general topic of film scenes, Category:Film scenes presently contains five articles about specific movie scenes. In addition to Romani ite domum, which I just added to the category after seeing this discussion, these are Han shot first, Poole versus HAL 9500, Red pill and blue pill and Tears in rain monologue. WP also has at least one article on an individual scene from a TV episode: Kirk and Uhura's kiss. (That all of these scenes except Romani ite domum are from sci-fi productions may say something about WP's content biases.) Gildir (talk) 10:42, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I'm not convinced this warrants a stand-alone article (as opposed to being covered at Monty Python's Life of Brian), and to me Romanes eunt domus seems like a more appropriate title. TompaDompa (talk) 16:30, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- As a number of people have pointed out, this article is too big—and the topic requires too much discussion—to be folded into the main article about the film, which is already just shy of 90 Kb—well over the size at which splitting is suggested, and nearing the point where it is strongly recommended. Since the issues concerning this scene require more discussion than can be conveniently had in the article about the film, there is a good reason for splitting it off; the only argument against it seems to be an assertion of a hithertofore unwritten rule that individual scenes in a movie are never notable and therefore cannot be split off, even though in any other topic doing so would be justified by the size and detail of the subtopic alone.
- Whether the article is at the best title is a completely separate issue from deletion, and does not really belong here, particularly given that this discussion has gone on at considerable length with little or no significant discussion of the title. However, I will note a few things: first, a Google ngram and overall Google hits for each wording show very similar numbers either way; part of this is likely because most books, articles, or other references to one wording will also contain the other. "Romanes eunt domus" is nonsensical, while "Romani ite domum" makes sense, and all other things being equal, the correct wording would seem to be the better title. Lastly, over the last ninety days the article has received an average of 200 daily page views—not an inconsiderable number, as many notable topics receive far fewer views—while the redirect "Romanes eunt domus" has received an average of 1. I can't say for certain how many people arrive at the article by typing "Romani ite domum", but clearly very few people are searching for "Romanes eunt domus". P Aculeius (talk) 04:22, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- WP:SIZESPLIT refers to readable prose size, which is nowhere near 90 kB at present. It's more like 50 kB, if this is anything to go by. The film article could also do with a fair amount of trimming (somewhat amusingly, one of the things that should be trimmed is two paragraphs in the "Legacy" section that deal with "Romanes eunt domus" appearing in Fallout: New Vegas). I'm also not sure how much discussion you think this particular scene requires, but the current version is rather uneconomically written and thus way longer than it needs to be to convey the information it is meant to. For instance:
Once Brian has arrived at the correct answer, the centurion imposes a grammar-school punishment—writing lines—instead of a period-appropriate sanction for vandals or rebels. Rather than punishing Brian for writing the graffito, the centurion instructs him to repeat the act one hundred times using good grammar.
is just plain repetition of the same information twice. For these reasons, I find the argument that this needs to be covered separately unpersuasive. TompaDompa (talk) 04:54, 3 April 2023 (UTC)- The article about the film may indeed be in need of trimming, but that is not the primary issue here. If you're going by number of characters, instead of the article size—possibly a reasonable interpretation, although this is not clearly what the guideline says—folding this article back into it would not only make for an unduly lengthy section within it, but would push it back to about 60,000 characters, and into the size range where a split is suggested. Granted, it might be slightly less if trimmed, but I don't see any point in merging them merely because the combined article could be trimmed to be just under the size of a long article for which splitting is suggested. Just as the guideline does not make splitting mandatory at any size, it does not state that there is a minimum size for splitting; the choice is supposed to be based on convenience, and in this case the length of this article suggests that it is too detailed to form a section of the film's article.
- I am unpersuaded by your example of unnecessary repetition, in part because the two sentences are making separate points: the first one describes the incongruity of the centurion imposing a grammar-school punishment, which is consistent with the grammar-school grammar analysis that preceded it, but inconsistent with the roles that Brian and the centurion are playing. The second sentence points out that the centurion's punishment is also counter-productive, because instead of discouraging vandalism, he is ordering Brian to vandalize the wall one hundred more times—provided he uses good grammar. I made this distinction myself when writing/rewriting this paragraph based on the discussion in the sources that I cited.
- Could it be more succinct? Possibly, but it is difficult to make both points clearly in a single sentence, without making it unduly complex. Could the article be trimmed to remove all verbiage that isn't strictly necessary? Perhaps, but brevity is not a goal in itself, and does not necessarily make articles clearer. And Wikipedia guidelines clearly state that saving space is not a valid reason to delete (or even trim) articles; unlike a traditional print encyclopedia, we have no hard limit on the number or size of articles. Article length—and existence—should be based on utility to readers.
- The fact that this article gets an average of 200 daily page views suggests that a lot of people find it useful. It is certainly not as big as it would be if, as one editor suggested above, it were merely a coatrack to quote the article excessively (only a small portion of the scene is quoted, and that portion does not contain any jokes, being focused solely on a grammatical error that is not apparent from the dialogue). Even if the language could be streamlined slightly, it is not unduly long for covering the subject, while it is too long for a convenient merge. That is why it should stay where it is. P Aculeius (talk) 03:40, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- The entire article is an exercise in uneconomical writing. The first section describes the scene in question at length. This is done much more succinctly in the Monty Python's Life of Brian article with minimal loss of (pertinent) information. The second section quotes seven lines of dialogue and goes on for another hundred words to note that the centurion made an error. The third section, apart from having a terrible heading ("Cultural significance"), repeats a lot of information both from the first section and within itself. As an example,
The centurion is unconcerned with Brian's act of vandalism, but rather with his inept use of Latin grammar.
is just repetition of the scene description. For the two sentences I brought up above, you could for instance simply replace the second sentence with, and increasing rather than reducing the amount of vandalism.
Really, this entire article could be condensed to a single brief paragraph in the main article about the film. Here, I'll show how (parts copied from the article under discussion, see the article history for attribution):
I only took a few minutes to write this shorter version and it is obviously not perfect (still a bit of repetition with "satirical representation of classroom discourse" and "satirical use of classroom discourse", for instance), but it is a lot more succinct while still conveying all the crucial information. This is a question of WP:Writing better articles. TompaDompa (talk) 04:38, 4 April 2023 (UTC)The scene where Brian writes anti-Roman graffiti and a centurion corrects his grammar has been noted as accurately reflecting the ancientness of the practice of writing graffiti on walls as a form of political protest. The incongruity of the centurion's actions is discussed as a source of humor in Cognitive Linguistics and Humor Research, noting that the expected arrest of a vandal is replaced by a satirical representation of classroom discourse, followed by a counter-productive grammar-school punishment of writing lines that increases rather than decreases the amount of vandalism, and then reverting to the expected roles of soldier and rebel by the threat of physical harm if the punishment is not carried out on time. A number of works on Latin also note that the centurion himself makes a grammatical error, reflecting how even those well-educated in Latin occasionally err regarding grammatical details. Jack Halberstam compares the satirical use of classroom discourse as a technical exercise to distract from the realities of Roman imperialism to the contemporary political phenomenon of diverting attention from serious social issues by focusing attention on less important details.
- No, it's not. The above is an exercise in crushing an article into a dense wall-of-text paragraph for the sole purpose of justifying its deletion or merger. It removes the context and illustrative quotations (and perhaps the actual illustration). Your example of combining sentences is faulty; the clauses are not parallel, and in your version the centurion is "[concerned with] and increasing rather than decreasing". You would have to reword the sentences considerably to have them make sense. But that is a minor point—condensing all of an article into what you regard as the only essential parts, in order to make the case for deletion or merger, is not "writing a better article"; it is the opposite.

) or something along those lines. Mea culpa. The current article is poorly written, and reducing those roughly 700 words of sprawling text into roughly 200 words by summarizing (i.e. omitting extraneous details and needless redundancy) would be an improvement. The article only has the appearance of needing to be a stand-alone article because it badly needs copyediting. TompaDompa (talk) 11:44, 4 April 2023 (UTC)- I think you will find that most editors would regard the kind of editing you propose to be non-constructive. It seems that we are back in "IDONTLIKEIT" territory, where whatever content you don't like is unnecessary, thus clearing the way for deletion of an article you don't like. Further discussion would appear to be pointless. P Aculeius (talk) 12:12, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- You say that this needs to be a stand-alone article due to length. I say that neither this article nor the parent article need to be as long as they are. If this had been done the way it usually is, with the scene covered in the article on the film in WP:PROPORTION to its coverage in reliable sources, the way it is treated here would be seen as obviously WP:UNDUE in the main article. We wouldn't split it off into a separate article due to length, we would edit it down to the appropriate length. From that perspective, why not fold it into the main article (in proportion to its coverage in the sources) as would usually have been done from the start? TompaDompa (talk) 12:45, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- You're entitled to your opinion, but other people are also entitled to theirs. At this point we only have contradiction repeating the same arguments that have already been made. P Aculeius (talk) 16:49, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- We can definitely get somewhere useful with this conversation if there exists some good reason to have this as a separate article that would apply even if (1) this article did not already exist and (2) the Life of Brian article were already high-quality. That is, if there would be a strong reason to create this article in addition to the Life of Brian article assuming we had to start over from scratch. One such good reason might for example be if there is a significant body of reliable sources with discussion of this scene both in particular (i.e. not discussing the rest of the film) and in general (i.e. not just one aspect of the scene but the scene as a whole). Do such sources exist? Do sources that discuss the film as a whole devote significantly more time to this particular scene than to the other scenes in the film? Do sources that discuss certain aspects of this scene in depth tend to additionally discuss other aspects of the same scene or do they tend to discuss related aspects that appear elsewhere? In other words, is there a strong reason to discuss the film scene by scene, rather than topic by topic? If the sources predominantly do so, then yes, absolutely! Is that the case? If not, it would make more sense to discuss the different aspects of this scene alongside related aspects of different scenes in the main Life of Brian article. Whether this should exist as a stand-alone article is a WP:PAGEDECIDE issue. We have various different possibilities to consider—is forking off this scene the best way to reduce the overall length of the Monty Python's Life of Brian article, assuming we should even do the latter in the first place? It seems to me we might have stronger reasons to create sub-articles along the lines of Religion in Monty Python's Life of Brian and Politics in Monty Python's Life of Brian than to create sub-articles like this.

You can of course have more than one consensus, although in this instance it wouldn't make any sense.

- Keep. The book mentioned in the nomination is Two Charlestonians at War, The Civil War Odysseys of a Lowcountry Aristocrat and a Black Abolitionist by Barbara L. Bellows, 2018, https://www.google.com/books/edition/Two_Charlestonians_at_War/xZdIDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0. This is clearly an in-depth, reliable source, so I won’t belabor that it’s clear evidence of notability, but what I will point out is that it received fairly significant review coverage, with quite a few journals running reviews (see for example https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/285/article/724906/summary, https://www.jstor.org/stable/26973703, https://academic.oup.com/jah/article-abstract/105/4/1026/5352864, https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE|A593432004&sid=googleScholar&v=2.1&it=r&linkaccess=abs&issn=00182370&p=AONE&sw=w&userGroupName=anon~51c5e84d, etc). While he doesn’t inherit notability from the coverage book, much of the coverage mentions him in at least some degree of detail.
- He is also discussed in-depth in the book OF TIME AND THE CITY: CHARLESTON IN 1860, https://www-jstor-org.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/stable/41698073 pages 160-172, which recount his birth and family ties up on through to his military service.
- He also had an in-depth piece in a 1916 article of Confederate Veteran. It’s not on our list of reliable sources, but it’s also not disclaimed as a reliable source. Regardless: https://books.google.com/books/about/Confederate_Veteran.html?id=ZEEOAAAAYAAJ
- Apparently, his papers were significant enough to be in a special collection at UVA: https://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaxtf/view?docId=uva-sc/viu00739.xml And other materials of his are also preserved there, including his 1864 diary and “reminiscences of Thomas Pinckney of South Carolina who was captured, May 28, 1864, and was prisoner at Point Lookout, Maryland, and Fort Delaware, Delaware. The diary records interesting observations on Fort Delaware life, the experiences of the “Six Hundred,” and the falsification of war news. After August 13, the narrative is continuous with no daily entries. The last date recorded is December 14, 1864.” https://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/guides/civil-war/Record-Archives.htm Immortal Six Hundred being the group referenced. (Further sourcing confirming his inclusion in this group: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Minutes_of_the_Immortal_Six_Hundred_Society_1910).
- Also, while notability is not inherited, his biographical information can be confirmed in a another book about the family of his relative Thomas Pinckney, https://www-jstor-org.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/stable/27571522.
- I see at least three in-depth coverages, significant additional coverage of the book (half) about him suggesting some degree of buzz about it in academia, various additional corroborating sources, etc. Accordingly, what I’m seeing suggests satisfaction of Wikipedia:GNG and Wikipedia:BIO and I’m for keeping the article.

- Weak keep: This subject does have the one book which directly details, but I'm not seeing much else applied or linked here which puts this past GNG. Reviews of the book don't normally count towards notability. The Bellows article linked is more than just bare mention; the subject and his brother are directly detailed for portions of four pages. Confederate Veteran fails independence. Obviously there's little exclusivity in being part of the "immortal" 600 Confederate prisoners, a bare mention in the the source listed (not independent, being a screed from an era in which the Lost Cause was strongly promoted). Unpublished material like papers and diaries don't normally confer any notability. So my source evaluation of User:Jo7hs2's list gives two sources directly detailing, and other stuff which contributes some detail. It's rare that an ACW junior officer gets their own article, and I came to this process with that preconception. It seems likely with all the available archives this subject will get later biographical development, but we don't do synthesis ourselves. BusterD (talk) 22:00, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

In addition, NSINGLE states, "Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album."

- There's a handful of single announcement pieces available but I don't see anything beyond that, and even those aren't worth much. Redirect to the artist page since it's at least mentioned on there in a couple places, including a maybe-notable award it won. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 17:07, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Costa Titch. The song does not appear to have the coverage necessary to support an independent page, but since a viable redirect target does exist, I think that is always preferrable over outright deletion. Aoba47 (talk) 20:52, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
