The article seems like a blatant breach of WP:OR and doesn't meet WP:NOTABILITY. It seems to have been created by User:LUCPOL, a now indefinitely blocked user, as a personal goal. I can't seem to find anything on it to verify it is notable, and there isn't adequate sources in English. There is one "source" on the Wiki article which only has 1 sentence on the topic. The Polish Wikipedia, which should have more in depth content on it, doesn't seem to have much either, and is also just as poorly sourced as the English version.
The previous decision to keep seems based off the notion discussed on the talk page and corresponding AfD post that the article was going to be improved in "at least a month", but it has been ~10 years, and I doubt anyone but User:LUCPOL had intentions of doing so, and he is now banned. I propose a near speedy delete as no new sources or content has been added to show it is notable or verifiable in the past 10 years. Wikipedia is not a dictionary and this article seems to have been created using original research. I feel it is a non-notable and non-verifiable topic.-- Wilner (Speak to me) 00:04, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

- Keep. It's no surprise that the Polish Wikipedia article is poorly sourced by our standards - it is generally accepted there that things that are common knowledge don't need sourcing. Loads of sources are found by the Google Books search linked above, and, if you prefer a source in English, I've cited an academic paper that has a few paragraphs of cover in the article. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 09:33, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep It is a problem finding English language sources, but I did find two mentions: A Fodor's Poland travel guide and in a self-published book detailing a day's ration in Auschwitz I think the WP:SELFSOURCE exception applies in this instance. I also found a German-language source from 1847 which mentions the soup. I've added the two English-language sources. And while English sources are preferred, non-English reliable sources may be used as references per WP:NOENG, so I suggest adding one or more of the many Polish sources, as well. There is enough now to support WP:GNG. Geoff | Who, me? 17:56, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

The sexual assault claims are already included in the Wikipedia Vice Media article here [1]. The Andrew Creighton article feels like a Wikipedia:SINGLEEVENT.

Non-notable, minor, for-profit college with accreditation issues. A WP:BEFORE check shows one (1) reliable source that mentions the school, failing GNG and ORG. Article was deprodded citing SCHOOLOUTCOMES, which has been deprecated as an XFD argument. James (talk/contribs) 23:38, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Withdrawn. I thank @JaconaFrere for finding sources to meet GNG. James (talk/contribs) 00:35, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- Don't Delete -- Nominator doesn't like the school. That's not a reason for deletion. It needs to be merged to redirected to tell the story of the small, for-profit university. Otherwise there will be a run on schools like Okan International University. Rhadow (talk) 23:47, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

- Question The school's website doesn't even work as of this moment. Considering the scarce sources, is this actually a school (even a for-profit one) or a diploma mill? DocumentError (talk) 01:18, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Whether the school is a "diploma mill" or not is probably a matter of perspective. James (talk/contribs) 14:59, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep and answer to above question: The school clearly exists, or at least did exist. Their athletics website is here [2]. They played sports in the USCAA, it appears the 2016 season may have been their last. They played several of NCAA Division 1 teams in sports (here's a sports illustrated box score against Utah for an example [3]. There are plenty of more in-depth sports stories, [4],[5],[6],[7]. These doesn't show that the school was a threat to the PAC-10 athletically, nor the ivy league academically, merely that it existed and competed with well-known degree-granting schools, all of which have articles. Paragons of education, probably not. Athletic powerhouse, no. But this was a degree-granting institution that at one time had 16 athletic teams. There is a longstanding tradition of keeping degree granting institutions and even high schools unless there isn't even evidence they exist.Jacona (talk) 01:53, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Press releases by competitors in guaranteed games, an article in a school paper, and a box score do not in sum meet GNG or ORG. James (talk/contribs) 14:52, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment -- The university did win its case against the accrediting agency. Federal Judge Anthony Trenga believes the school exists [8]. Sprinter Stirley Jones went to Bristol [9], according to the Orange County Register. BU is probably closed now, but I like the website [10] that announces, "The Bears men's soccer team wins the first game in school history!" Rhadow (talk) 02:02, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
*Hello James -- I don't particularly care whether this article stays or goes. It should be REDIRECTED somewhere valuable. I do observe that you have not provided a single Wikipedia reason for deletion. It's a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Losing a court case is not a reason. Topeka Public Schools has an article. Being bankrupt is not a reason. Enron has an article. Being a crummy school is not a reason. Stanford University has an article. Having a broken website is not a reason. Equifax has an article. Being for-profit is not a reason. University of Phoenix has an article. If a high school is presumed notable, then I wonder why a university with a twenty-five year history is not. Rhadow (talk) 17:57, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hello. Per my original nomination, I believe the article subject fails both WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Being a small, for-profit, unaccredited college is more likely to indicate that this institution does not have the significant coverage required to exist on Wikipedia. Per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, "secondary schools are not presumed to be notable". I never mentioned the status of this school's webpage, and I shared the status of the school's lawsuit in order to ensure editors had a complete picture of the institution, not as an inherent argument. All that being said, I would not be opposed to redirecting to For-profit higher education in the United States or similar. James (talk/contribs) 18:19, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- That is not accurate to cite that quote to WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES when what is quoted is not the text of Schooloutcomes but a quote from a disputed RfC and the quote is taken out of context in a way that changes the meaning. What WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES actually quotes from the Rfc nutshell is, "Secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist." Unscintillating (talk) 00:16, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

From WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES: Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools have historically been kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists.
It sounds to me like a university makes it into the book. In this case, however, the school should be specifically excluded because it has a bad accountant, webmaster, lawyer, and soccer team. Rhadow (talk) 18:25, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. The fact that the website is down, does not look good. I think at least wait for website to comeback and then it can be reconsidered. In addition, I saw several online reviews calling this school a scam! Expertwikiguy (talk) 2:22 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- Expertwikiguy, are you saying that an article needs an active website to be notable under wikipedia policy? So basically anything that ever existed, but is defunct should be struck from the encyclopedia? Could you point us to any Wikipedia policy that demonstrates that in any way please? Have you read WP:BEFORE and Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions?Jacona (talk) 17:48, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- No I am not saying that. What I am saying while the website does not exists, we cannot verify if this school exists and also to check website for information that may be necessary to make a decision to keep them. So what I am saying is that until the website comes back we would not be able to make a better decision, so until that time, I am voting to delete. Just my opinion. It's my vote to Delete. Expertwikiguy (talk) 7:22 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- What? -- "While the website does not exist, we cannot verify if this school exists." Are you kidding? Rhadow (talk) 19:36, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- Expertwikiguy, thanks for sharing your opinion.Jacona (talk) 19:45, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- In any case, Expertwikiguy, the website can be viewed at the archive: [11] if you would like. Jacona (talk) 23:43, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment The article has now been considerably expanded, with at least 15 sources in the article and more here. The school is shown to have existed for over 20 years, has competed against the highest level of competition athletically, has stumbled on hard times, and has been shuttered. And although it has nothing to do with policy, the archive of the school website can be accessed from the article for Expertwikiguy's viewing pleasure. The school had 280 students in 2014, and over the course of 20 years it would have totaled several thousand students.
- Keep Yes, the Orange County Register thinks Bristol University no longer exists, but that is far different than it having never existed. They played Utah Valley University (which no one in the know ever calls just "Utah"), in a game that seems to have generated little if any coverage. Nothing spectacular, and if they were in a line of business other than education, we probably would delete. However we have special rules for educational institutions, and if a place fielded even supper-sub par teams in intercollegiate play, they will pass notability, even if the difference between them and a diploma mill is hard to gauge. Considering some of the classes offered at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, they seem to have also been a diploma mill, but no one has suggested we delete that article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:14, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Inside Higher Education provided some coverage of the case. I think that makes the keep even stronger. I feel this relies too much on primary sources, but that is not a reason to delete, especially since it is clear there are secondary sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:18, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep Article has multiple reliable sources so the subject clearly passes WP:N. This will never be more than a minor, short article but that is no reason to delete it. ElKevbo (talk) 17:34, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep Article satisfies WP:V#Notability, which requires one third-party source, and this information plus WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is not circular reasoning. Unscintillating (talk) 00:31, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Since this university has several negative reviews online, what is the Wiki policy on adding Yelp as a reference and mentioning this? Expertwikiguy (talk) 02:34, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Promotional article for a non-notable company. The article has 15 references, but not one of them is independent - they're all either from the company's website (1, 2, 3), from one of their business partners' websites (4, 6, 8, 11, 14), or a press release (5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15).

- Comment I haven't done a good search for potential sources, so I'm not giving my Keep/Delete yet, but the current sources are insufficient to establish notability. We have a number of commercial galleries, cottishartpaintings.co.uk, gullaneartgallery.co.uk, panterandhall.com, and a "a unique tool that enables you to create beautiful 3D showcases of your art to impress art lovers and collectors", kunstmatrix.com. The Scotsman would have been an excellent source, if the article had been about our subject. The piece in ross-shirejournal.co.uk is the only article that approaches something like critical attention, but it is clear from the article itself that the award, despite the fact that the Ross-Shire journal calls it a "a prestigious prize", the Art Centre Kelty, Bespoke Framing Award is in fact a very minor award. WP:ARTISTS requires "significant critical attention", and I don't see that (yet). Mduvekot (talk) 02:05, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

- Delete I have spent quite some time looking for reliable sources and reviews. She has had paintings included in several exhibitions in Scotland, some of which accept works through open submission. These exhibitions have been written about in the Scotsman and there are instances where her work gets a brief mention in these reviews, along with multiple other artists. She has had a few roles within artistic organisations, but I couldn't find announcements or other material documenting this, even on sites published by these organisations. For example, a companies house listing has been relied upon to show she was registered as a director. There have been multiple references added to the article where she is not mentioned or where the source cannot be checked. The Ross-shire Journal article from 2015 is the only independent source that I could see that covers her and her work in any depth. I can't see that notability has been achieved if judged against WP:ARTIST. Worse than that, the activity around this article really smacks of undeclared paid-for editing.

Marquez's notability is attributed to his band but notability is not inherited. What perhaps is more concerning is the non-encyclopedic and at time promotional tone of this article.

- Marquez first came to international attention as a result of being an extraordinary guitar player, lead singer and songwriter. He wrote the song Dance With Me and is at least partially responsible for sales of more than 30 million records by Renegade. While notoriety is not inherited, it can flow from notoriety achieved as a result of one's own accomplishments. An example of inherited notoriety can flow from the offspring of a notable principal, whereas Marquez's notoriety results from his contribution to Renegade, being an original member of the first Latin metal band and the international sales of more than 30 million records. Marquez did not "inherit" his notoriety, he earned it as a member of a notable band. While the article could benefit from improvement, as is the case with most WP articles, it would be very arbitrary to start deleting articles because they may be lacking. A quick read of most articles concerning rock bands demonstrates weaknesses in their authorship. The answer is to solicit improvement, not to throw away the baby with the bath water. The rush to delete mentality contributes to edit wars on WP and should be avoided at all cost. We all have a duty to get along, help each other and promote a civil discourse. If I start nominating articles for deletion, it will undoubtedly anger those who spent their time and effort contributing to those articles. The next thing you know, those people are nominating my articles for deletion or vandalizing my edits. I urge everyone to take deletions very seriously and err on the side of restraint and improvement before arbitrarily deleting other's work. Finally, what's notable to you may not be notable to me, so an objective view is essential. Thank you for your consideration. Warriorboy85 (talk) 03:37, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

- Redirect to Renegade. I don't see any indication that this subject is independently notable outside of the band. Even the article's author admits above this subject's notability derives from the band. ShelbyMarion (talk) 13:55, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect to Renegade (band) for now – the only article I can find about his solo career is an interview in his local paper [14]. Doesn't appear to be notable outside the band, his solo career appearing to consist of gigs at local California vineyards and the like. I can't see any individual notability for his bandmates Tony De La Rosa (rock guitarist) and Luis Cardenas either. I'm willing to believe that Renegade themselves were notable, but at the moment their article is entirely sourced to the band's website, the record company's website and social media, and is full of peacock language and demonstrably false statements (the band never had a single hit in the UK, for example). The claim of 30 million sales made above by the article creator seems to rest on an amateur video on YouTube featuring that well known musical authority, David Hasselhoff.
- Puzzling comment by the article author, who appears to agree with the nominator that Marquez is not individually notable, that notability is an "objective view" and not bound by WP:N, and that Wikipedia editors are spiteful enough to engage in tit-for-tat AfD nominations if their article gets nominated.

- The NYT obit is quite short and lacks a byline. It includes "SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK TIMES" which sounds to me that it was likely placed there by someone close to the family. That's not an obit that would imply that the subject was notable. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:43, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

The result was keep. The first keep arguments are mite perfunctory (when discussing the notability of a term, sources discussing the concept are ideal) but later sources are mostly uncontested.

- Weak Delete or Merge to Wondermark - Apparently I'm not seeing what other people are seeing. Where is the in-depth treatment of this concept beyond just referencing that comic (which is coverage of a particular comic strip such that it should be included in an article about the comic). The sources cited are mostly personal blogs/SPS and/or brief mentions. I'm searching myself, and it's a challenging search mainly because people use the term without describing it beyond a definition (if that) based on the comic. To pass WP:NEO I would want to see more reliable sources [at least in significant part] about the term, going into more detail than just reiterating what the comic itself said. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 23:23, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

- According to WP:NOTDICT, articles on words need to be encylopaedic - having more than a definition too. That and WP:NOPAGE, doesn't seem like this can be expanded much Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:03, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Merge to Wondermark. Yes, it passes WP:NEO. However the article must have encylopaedic information -
That is, such articles must go beyond what would be found in a dictionary entry (definition, pronunciation, etymology, use information, etc.), and include information on the social or historical significance of the term.
- WP:WORDISSUBJECT. Currently it doesn't meet that, having only the definition and etymology. I was looking for the possibility of expansion, and the extra information I can find is: that it was derived in relation to gamergate and that it has been "embraced" by the subreddit KotakuinAction sourced to this unpublished "computer science" paper - [15] (not a super RS for this I think). IMHO the possibility of expansion is a little grim based on the sources I've found so far; so it should be merged.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Zero sources cited use this term other than a self-published source, the PhD thesis. This is a non-notable neologism. I WP:PRODed this, after the associated category was deleted (twice), but the prod was removed on the basis that "WP:SCHOLARSHIP says a completed PhD dissertation that is publicly available can be used as a source". Whether the source can be used is not the issue. It, and everything else used in the article (which are about grunge lit not post-grunge lit, or about specific works that the thesis author calls post-grunge but which these sources don't), do not collectively constitute multiple instances of in-depth coverage in independent, reliable sources. This fails the general notability guideline. What I'm seeing on the Web is blogs not quality sources, and some may well have gotten the term from our own article. Others appear to be using the phrase in a French context, which has nothing to do with the subject of this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SMcCandlish (talk • contribs) 18:17, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

- Delete. A genre invented by one person in one academic paper. No significant coverage of it in independent sources. A paragraph on it is already included in the the Grunge lit article (whether it is important enough for inclusion or not is another question), and there is nothing further that could realistically be merged across. Kb.au (talk) 07:38, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's seems pretty reasonable to mention it at Grunge lit (though that should maybe be moved to Grunge literature per MOS:ABBR, unless RS overwhelmingly use only the abbreviated form). The author of the nominated-for-deletion spinoff article is correct that a PhD thesis can be used as a source for something non-controversial (and there's nothing controversial about the fact that the author of that paper is the one who came up with the post-grunge lit term in this context – it's central to this AfD); meanwhile it has been picked up by at least a handful of other writers, albeit almost entirely in the blogosphere.

- Comment on WP:POLOUTCOMES - This WP:SUPPLEMENTAL information page (not policy or even guideline) says spouses of heads of states are "
usually regarded as notable
", not that they automatically are. Notability still has to be demonstrated, and a one-liner about a spouse of a guy who was head of state for a few weeks does not, IMHO, appear to establish any notability. WP:GNG is universal, and there is no SIGCOV about this lady in the article. List of spouses of heads of state will always consist of redlinks and redirects, especially for past, short-term spouses-of-heads-of-state....

Relisting comment: WP:OUTCOMES is not a guideline and therefore not a good argument to make. Please discuss the sources.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 18:10, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment In this case, WP:POLOUTCOMES provides a shorthand for a much longer discussion (see talk page) about the notability of a First spouse, because WP:NPOL does not specifically describe this position as being afforded the presumption of notability. That said, in the case of a first spouse, the community has accepted the presumption of notability to the holder of the position of First Spouse (time and again), and that presumption is found through the discussion in previous XfDs and currently expressed in WP:POLOUTCOMES. There is also WP:NOTINHERITED: "The fact of having a famous relative is not, in and of itself, sufficient to justify an independent article. Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people (including politicians) can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship, but only if they pass WP:GNG. Newborn babies are not notable except for an heir to a throne or similar. Note, however, that this does not apply to situations where the fact of having a relationship to another person inherently defines a public position that is notable in its own right, such as a national First Lady." Note: this too is supplemental information. To summarize, the keep argument is spelled out in two different places, both in POLOUTCOMES and NOTINHERITED, both designed as guides for editors to consider when nominating an article for deletion. So, it is easier to just refer (in this circumstance) to WP:POLOUTCOMES and establish whether there information suggesting the subject was/is a first spouse is verifiable. In this case, there is. --Enos733 (talk) 21:15, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- For additional points about my argument, please see WP:Articles_for_deletion/Savita_Kovind.

- Delete - it was last deleted about a week ago. It should be a candidate for speedy deletion. The figure doesn't appear notable, aside from being a failed political candidate who runs against Paul Ryan (probably as a publicity stunt).RobertGraves (talk) 16:46, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Speedy was requested 15 minutes after creation, and rejected 13 minutes later, saying, "there are hundreds of new news articles about nehlen since the AfD, many foreign.

- Comment There actually has been a considerable amount of new press coverage of Nehlen in the past two weeks, based on outrageous things he has said or Tweeted. I am undecided about his notability at this time, and will take a "wait and see" attitude for a few days. I encourage anyone interested in this debate to take a careful look at the news coverage. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 18:20, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Nehlen has received President Trump's tweeted support and Nehlen has received close to 16% of the Republican vote in Wisconsin. His candidacy is a good example of how far support for the policies he espouses extends in the Republican party. He seems a borderline case in that he was supported by Breitbart and President Trump but has recently lost that support. In future he may be usefully cited as an example of how far the GOP party was prepared to go to support right wing policies before being forced to pull back by the electorate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kujiranoai (talk • contribs) 00:48, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Postpone. Keep. Honestly, I didn't want to comment on this request, but I concur with Cullen on this. We should really look to see what occurs in a year or so and revisit this topic then. ―Matthew J. Long -Talk-☖ 06:19, 28 December 2017 (UTC)- Edited to keep per LtNOWIS.―Matthew J. Long -Talk-☖ 02:58, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- Strong delete short of winning the congression election, Nehlen has no notability. 15% of the primary vote means he was trounced, just plain trounced. That he is even running again after such a throughout trouncing shows that at least within the Republican Party, Representative Ryan is well established in this district. Something may happen in the next few months to change that, but as of right now Nehlen is absolutely not in any way, shape, means or form notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:15, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
Postpone orKeep The recent spike in news interest and the subject's actions indicate this may be a worthwhile topic to keep track of. New article is substantially different from the prior version due to recent events and coverage, and it does no harm to keep it pending further developments. At a minimum this may be an important point in the history of U.S. political discourse to record.

- Keep significant coverage by major national media so meets GNG (WP:POLITICIAN is irrelevant). Royalbroil 17:16, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: "Postpone" is not a valid choice. Either he's notable now, in late 2017, or he isn't. If he becomes notable in a few months, then turning the article from a redirect back into a normal article is a matter of a few mouse clicks. -LtNOWIS (talk) 04:52, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

- Move to draftspace - The article should not be kept, and it sounds like multiple editors are hesitant to delete only because the subject person may become notable later. If people don't want to lose the work that's been done, the answer is simple: Move the article to draftspace. That way there will be less effort, if the subject person ever becomes notable, to restore the content already prepared. Editors who said "Postpone" should be !voting to WP:DRAFTIFY, not keep. (To be clear, if not draftified, in the alternative I would !vote strong delete per WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN.) Shelbystripes (talk) 23:43, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. We do not keep stuff on a "wait and see" basis just because the topic might become more notable in a year than he is today — we judge an article's notability and keepability entirely on the matter of whether he already clears an inclusion standard today — and non-winning candidates are not more notable than the norm just because of who's endorsed them, either. WP:SALT also needed, because this coming back so quickly after the second discussion plainly shows that people are planning to simply ignore AFD consensus about him. Bearcat (talk) 06:02, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Bearcat Nehlen might still meet WP:GNG though. Recent articles include: [18] [19] [20] [21]
- It's only clear that he does not meet WP:POLITICIAN. ―Matthew J. Long -Talk-☖ 19:31, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Media coverage never, ever fails to exist for any candidate in any election anywhere — so every candidate for any office whatsoever would always pass GNG if "some media coverage exists" were all it took. What it takes to make a non-winning candidate notable enough for a Wikipedia article on that basis is not "does media coverage exist?" — because, again, there's no candidate in any election anywhere for whom it doesn't — but "does a reason why the world will still need this article to exist ten years from now exist?"

- Comment A check on Google news shows that the top three links are 3 hours old, 7 hours old, and 7 hours old. I also checked on Google books, and see that the topic has coverage there. The last (second) "AfD" was a classic case of a non-deletion content discussion that spiraled out of control into a delete. Considering that the nominator was not a delete !vote and one commentor advocated keeping, seven editors !voted delete, while seven advocated to not delete. Three of the deletes there cited BLP1E, which is totally inapplicable as BLP1E only applies to low-profile individuals, and even when applicable is a merge argument. The third !vote asserts, "Multiple non-notable acts do not add to notability."...This is not helpful, since coverage of "acts" accumulates. The fifth delete !vote claims that the "keep" !votes haven't done enough to satisfy him/her, even though this was a non-deletion discussion.The WP:Deletion guidelines for administrators#Deciding whether to delete#4 states in bold, When in doubt, don't delete. Unscintillating (talk) 01:58, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep, preferably leading to a merge User:Ethanbas at the 2nd AfD provides nationally recognized sources such as newsmax and the Washington Times, which shows GNG. The topic has been attracting attention for more than one event, so BIO1E doesn't apply. GNG is only a subset of WP:N, and WP:N does not require editors to maintain this article as standalone. The forum here isn't suitable to solve the problem of where to merge. Unscintillating (talk) 01:58, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
Delete-- as a candidate, does not meet WP:NPOL. The subject is best known as an alt-right troll, but, as of yet, he does not meet WP:NFRINGE just yet. Delete is the best option here. Recent sourcing relate to his 15 min of fame due to a Twitter spate, but it's WP:TOOSOON -- the subject is not encyclopedically relevant just yet. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:36, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Draftify -- change from "delete" per discussion below. Not notable just yet. "Delete" would be my second choice. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:31, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- Strong Keep -- He clearly meets the criteria of a "local nominee or politician who has recieved significant coverage". In the last week he has had detailed profiles by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Forward, Buzzfeed, The Week, and National Review. His notablity will only further increase from here. If he was a random challenger I would agree. However, recent events have clearly shown that he is a notable figure.MichiganWoodShop (talk) 00:12, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Move to draftspace until the next backdraft. Didn't know about this option until this AfD. Otherwise, it would be a weak keep. He probably has enough notoriety… I mean notability for that. Not sure where it could be merged into. Sorry for the lack of argument. StrayBolt (talk) 03:51, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - subject has enough reliable third-party coverage to pass WP:GNG in my opinion, but I would not be opposed to it being moved to a draft space if it comes to that. Inter&anthro (talk) 01:07, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

- Released 4 songs .... 1 got to #55 on Swedishcharts.com .... I would hardly call that "chart success"!, "article needs more references" - Absolutely agree on that point however there is no sources, Them having articles on other projects is utterly irrelevant - Many socks who are blocked here go to other projects and create articles on themselves all of which are never deleted, Again 1 song at #55 on a non notable chart is hardly success, As a !keeper you need to prove how and why he's notable which so far you haven't done. –Davey2010Talk 15:25, 7 January 2018 (UTC)(23:21, 13 January 2018 (UTC))
- Delete. I have tried to find sources about him, including site:.se searches, and I have added one and corrected the link to swedishcharts.com. There is a tremendous amount of hits on his name, but it is hard to find something of substance and reliability. As such, I currently fail to see that we are near a pass of the basic notability guideline for people, and I find that having had one single peak at no. 55 is not a pass under the additional criteria for musicians. If anybody else can source him, ping me and I'll reconsider my position, but we need to be conservative with BLPs. The argument is made that
Articles on other Wikipedias also a clear notion of notability
, but no, WP:OTHERLANGS: "the existence of such articles does not indicate, by itself, that a topic is notable." It is rather more interesting that Swedish Wikipedia, that often is more lenient, deleted the article in 2016. Sam Sailor 10:00, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

- Delete - I stumbled upon this article by chance (saw an ad for this local ISP) and noticed that the title "Bravo Telecom" had been highjacked from being about a Saudi telecom (later histsplit into Bravo (Saudi Arabia)) by UPE-corp account User:BT.team and also by Meding46 (see the WP:COIN thread detailing the highjack.) I PRODed and tagged the then-unreferenced advert-like stub, to which Meding46 said "I know the company very well as they're my provider for Internet Telephone and TV since 10 years, so I'll reach to them and make them aware that their page is planned for deletion. I'm sure we can improve this page by citing sources let me manage that.", and then came along Sumon07 (who are suspected of engaging in UPE across several articles, along with their sock User:Rasel78, and who also probably logged out to use 203.78.145.244 to re-remove the tags here) to add sources to this article. Of the seven added sources, two (#1 and #5) are to Bravo's website and one (#6) is a self-published pless release, two (#2 and #4) are directory listings of businesses or internet plans, one (#3) is to a government decision unrelated to Bravo, one (#7) is a generic tech article about DSL Internet that doesn't even come within a mile of mentioning Bravo; there is not a single reliable, independent source demonstrating any significant coverage, and thus there is no argument that this topic would pass notability per WP:GNG or even WP:NCORP.

- Mege -- Almost all listed companies in the website listing Bravo Telecom (#4) among others have a Wikipedia Page : see reference page Plans by carrier, I could find at least the four preceding Bravo Telecom such as Bell Cogeco Distributel and EBOX. Because I leave in Canada, I know that both latest ones are adopting same business model than BT and are comparable in terms of employees and turn over. Additionally, when Canadian users search for Bravo Telecom they are faced to the page about Bravo (Saudi Arabia) which does no more exist and it doesn't make sense to keep them in the index. I would recommend merging both pages Bravo Telecom and Bravo (Saudi Arabia) into the same page about the Canadian internet provider which is more useful for users in Canada and in the world.

I don't know which ranks in NFL staff are considered high enough for notability, but this subject doesn't seem to rank very highly, and the deepest sourcing on him is of this level--a couple of sentences about him possibly getting a job, and a couple of lines here, on an NFL blog, as one of 13 possibilities for a position.

I do not believe this person passes the GNG or even NBAND. It is argued that he passes the latter because he was "member of 2 notable bands", but the requirement in NBAND is that he be "a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles". The best sources I can find ([39] and [40]) give him a half sentence each, so I don't see how he is reasonably prominent--he seems not to be. So, I think this should be deleted, unless someone digs up some significant discussion of this drummer. Drmies (talk) 17:06, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Merge Tokyo Dragons. Being the drummer in a hard rock band for their entire history is about as prominent a member as anyone should reasonably expect, and a bit more detail there on what he did after that band wouldn't hurt. After that he seems top have basically been a short-term member/session musician for various bands. --Michig (talk) 18:30, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

- Merge to Tokyo Dragons.

- Delete - The monument is adequately covered in the article about the man.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 17:24, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Weak keep - Certainly this is a notable park in Jhelum and seems to me to be of regional significance. Unfortunately there is not much coverage of the park in reliable sources. There is enough to know it exists, satisfying WP:V for instance. I don't have any WP:NOR or WP:NPOV concerns with the brief article as it is currently written. I agree that there isn't enough coverage for the subject to be clearly notable, but given the size and prominent location of the park, I believe that is due to the lack of Urdu language sources. Note that the article is already currently also mentioned at the page for Jhelum. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:28, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- So right way is to redirect when we don't have sources to support stand-alone article. Störm (talk) 12:08, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- I have no problem differing in opinion with you on this, but to me the point is that I believe the subject of the article is suitable for inclusion in wikipedia. In particular, I believe that multiple in-depth sources exist, I simply don't have access to them. Notability (aka WP:42) gives us the presumption of suitability for inclusion if multiple sources were presented, which we don't have in this case. But I believe there is suitability without presumption. If one doesn't believe the subject is suitable because: they disagree that the sources exist, they have a different opinion of suitability that does not apply to relatively large city parks in mid-sized cities in Pakistan, they believe in strict necessity of multiple in-depth sources, or for whatever other reason, they might go ahead and !vote delete. I think deletion would be a mediocre outcome. An alternative you suggest is WP:REDIRECT, in particular from WP:RPURPOSE: redirect is appropriate for "Sub-topics or other topics which are described or listed within a wider article." If you believe that a park or a statue is a subtopic of an individual or of a city, then a redirect is appropriate. I think redirection would be an ok outcome. I think keeping would be a fair outcome, with WP:HEY much preferred, but I've made an effort to find sources online under the English title, the Urdu (میجر محمد اکرم میموریل) or the Punjabi (میجر محمد اکرم دی یادگار) and have found none except a few English sources very similar to what I linked to above, and none in-depth.

- Merge selectively to Jhelum and Muhammad Akram would be a generous solution.

The article's primary author started and finished their involvement with the article while the game was in beta testing, and pretty much left Wikipedia after its official release.

In [Scott] Boden's own words, "The last thing I was working on was Outpost (1981), which had a cannon and a gun in the center with attackers on the periphery. I left and Jack Ritter took over. He renamed it Boxing Bugs (1981) and tried to make it cute." In my opinion and Boden's, Boxing Bugs was a travesty.

- I'm sorry, but you mean to tell me that there isn't any place you think this could be merged? I can think of at least two: the author and K-PAX itself. Both of these are miserable articles, and could stand to be expanded, but deletion is entirely the wrong solution for non-notable sequels. Per WP:PEREN AfD is not articles for discussion, it's articles for deletion. There is simply no policy-based justification for nominating a sequel to a notable book for deletion, especially when the other novels in the series are already referenced, as redlinks, in the obvious merge target. I'm sure there's a story here about how the adaptation of Brewer's work became far more successful than any of his subsequent efforts, because that's sure what it looks like... Regardless, WP:ATD-M remains policy, and if we want to start having better deletion discussions, we should really cease allowing AfD to be used to enforce a not-yet-even-attempted merge or redirection.

A figure in esotericism. The article is full of apparent WP:OR (tagged since 2009) and lacks any substantial references, making most content unverifiable. A Google Books search yields only apparently unreliable esoteric literature, i.e., primary rather than secondary sources. For the same reasons, the topic's notability per WP:GNG is dubious. We'd need a reliable secondary source that, as a minimum, defines the topic in order to even consider keeping this as a stub with all the OR cut out. Sandstein 19:47, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

- Keep The NOM started this AfD in a disingenuous fashion by first deleting the meat of the content. [43] They obviously did not do a WP:BEFORE because I was able to start adding sources before they had even created the AfD. Here in their rush to push this AfD, they reverted and thus removed my first two additions of sources. I don't know what other sources I will find to add in the future or how it will modify the content of the article, but I am already finding enough WP:GNG to justify the existence of this genre. That was the sole basis for the NOM. They have failed miserably to prove the absence of sources. I am finding the opposite. I suggest they withdraw the NOM at this time. Trackinfo (talk) 03:31, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: Trackinfo, please remember to assume good faith. It is not disingenuous to clean up an article before nominating for AfD. It helps clarify what the AfD is actually about, helps determine whether an article is suitable for AfD, and is very often done before nominating articles for AfD. The content I removed was either unsourced, poorly sourced, or was almost entirely to do with bands and band members that are associated with the genre, not the genre itself. It was a large portion of the article content, but not the "meat" of the article. Regarding my "rush to push this AfD", I reverted your first two additions because you had removed the AfD tags, as you appeared to have accidentally removed them. I did perform WP:BEFORE and found only references to the same half-dozen bands, but no discussion that was remotely comprehensive of the genre itself in reliable sources. The references you've added haven't changed that assessment. Regarding the sources offered in the article at this point:
- discogs.com - Simply a track listing from a compilation album, and discogs.com is often user-submitted content (ie: not WP:RS).
- discogs.com - Simply a track listing from another compilation album, and also not a reliable source as noted above.
- interpunk.com - Simply a track listing from a compilation album, from a site that used to sell this compilation (not WP:RS).
- The "Rock & Roll Encyclopedia" doesn't appear to have editorial control or a reputation for fact-checking. Even if it did, an "encyclopedia" is a tertiary source. We need secondary sources to establish notability.
- OC Weekly Article - Discusses the genre briefly, but only in the context of Ill Repute. I consider it a "weak" source, but has some merit.
- Last.FM - Doesn't offer comprehensive coverage, is extremely short, and is user-submitted content. Ironically, it looks like that short blurb was actually copied from Wikipedia, in fact.
- A useful RS noticeboard discussion about discogs.com can be found here, and a short discussion regarding last.fm can be found here.
- Merely proving something exists isn't not enough to meet WP:GNG. If there isn't any comprehensive coverage available to summarize about the article subject, it isn't suitable for inclusion. Frankly, if the only thing to say about the genre how it relates to a half-dozen bands and the deaths of various band members in those bands, that should make it's notability suspect in and of itself (aside from the lack of comprehensive discussion in reliable sources). If the only thing to say about Black metal was the various tales and travails of bands that have created music in this genre, then it would not be notable, either. On a related note, please see the MOS guidelines regarding listing bands in genre articles. If I've made a mistake and this genre IS truly notable, I welcome you to please provide comprehensive coverage in reliable sources to prove me wrong, but I'm seeing anything so far that changes my mind at all, so forgive me if I do not withdraw my nomination. Thank you for your contributions. Waggie (talk) 04:39, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- Update: I've looked over the new sources offered, they're all interviews of band members waxing nostalgic over their younger years, old concert promotions, more track listings, and discussion of things other than the genre itself (other genres, for instance). They all mention Nardcore, but do not discuss it comprehensively. Reading all this, I still do not know what makes Nardcore, Nardcore, other than that a half-dozen skate punk bands from Oxnard, California claim that it's their genre. Trackinfo, I appreciate the work you're putting into this, but I'm not sure actually you're helping readers understand what Nardcore actually is. Waggie (talk) 17:39, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- Please do not undervalue. First, the article identifies over a dozen bands, not including renamed bands. If you are to discount any article because it contains an interview with one of the principals, then you will negate the vast majority of sources in any subject. The concept of nardcore is mentioned in the editorial voice of most of the source articles linked. Many of those publications are from L.A., Orange County and further regions, all of which recognize the unique style of Nardcore, not that I am enough of an expert in the subject to tell you. Some sources include JFA as associated with the style, even though they were a Phoenix band, so it is not just geography. The key point here is, this is discussed in more than passing terms in a lot of different sources, including known publications like the L.A. Times. Unsourced and GNG, the issues you challenged the article on have been solved. You have no case for the destruction of this content.Trackinfo (talk) 21:44, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

The editorial discussion in the sources is of the bands, or the members, or the skate punk/hardcore punk genres in general. Where is the secondary source that descriptively "recognize(s) the unique style" of Nardcore? The LA Times article you mention has precisely one and a half sentences that tangentially discusses Nardcore in (more or less) editorial voice: "...when all sorts of hard-core punk bands used to scare each other's parents. Groups such as Agression, Dr. Know, Ill Repute and Stalag 13 collectively became known as Nardcore." The rest of the article is about Oxnard's music scene in general and the little other discussion of Nardcore is WP:PRIMARY. In fact, the LA Times article is actually about a band from a completely different genre, and Nardcore is brought up only because the interviewee is a younger sibling of a Nardcore musician. That is quite explicitly a passing mention. Please remember, we're just politely discussing the merits of the sources, and the article's notability in a Wikipedia context. I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I'm just not seeing it yet. If the discussion holds that it's not notable and the article is deleted, there's always the option to WP:REFUND if/when good sourcing can be found. Thanks again for your time. Waggie (talk) 04:24, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- There are zero interviews in the 2 paragraph City of Oxnard recreation page discussing Nardcore history. It directs to another two page article discussing the publication 60 Miles North as the locally produced journalism on the subject. That links to 15 back issues of the magazine available for sale. If a scene can generate that much journalism, that is certainly not a one off mention that you dismiss. Yes 60 Miles North bears no resemblance to a professionally produced publication, the Jacob Rhodes interview discusses the DIY nature of the scene the now professional artist grew up in. Those sections you classify as one off mentions occur in multiple issues of seven existing (or better said) surviving newspapers, two of them daily papers. We also have multiple sources archived from within the punk community, plus of course the sources documenting some compilation albums of the genre and current performances of the four surviving bands from over 30 years ago.
- What you nominated was an article with a single dead link as a source. Without sources and without doing a WP:BEFORE search that would have confirmed the existence of sources (and should have averted the AfD in the first place), you deleted 9 and a half paragraphs of content before making the nomination. In the minutes of your processing the nomination, I did do the search, I saw the sources existed. I replaced the content and added two sources, which you rush reverted. Since then, the article has been built up to 27 sources backing up most of what was in the existing article. Yes some of what was there was self serving, poorly composed junk. Cleaning stuff like that is what a competent editor should be working on. Waggie, you seem to be twisting yourself into a pretzel trying to dismiss this much content in order to prove yourself right and get a win. And if you succeed, wikipedia will be the lesser for it.
- Repeating my suggestion from earlier, you should withdraw your nomination. Then improve your AfD nominating technique to first include a search for sources so you can see if what you are attacking is a legitimate subject (that you should then improve) or something worthy of wasting everybody's time with an AfD nomination. Trackinfo (talk) 16:00, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- I nominated in good faith and I stand by my nomination. As I explained prior, I did perform WP:BEFORE and found many of the sources you have added to the article, however I do not find them useful in a Wikipedia context for describing Nardcore itself. Also as I explained prior, I simply reverted your removal of the AfD tags, which you had mistakenly removed. I'm not trying to get a "win", Wikipedia isn't about that. I'm here to build a quality encyclopedia. The quality of the sources is far more important than quantity. I agree that Nardcore is a legitimate subject, but as it stands, I don't see it meeting inclusion guidelines. I appreciate the work you've done in attempting to improve the article. Unfortunately, it's still not answering the questions I've put forth. For the sources again, the "City of Oxnard recreation page" you refer to is clearly not journalistic (it's a blog). 60MN is also clearly not subject to editorial control and doesn't have a history of fact-checking - it's a local magazine written by people directly associated with the Nardcore scene (WP:PRIMARY). The Jacob Rhodes interview is ... an interview. The bottom line is that the article simply does not explain what makes Nardcore unique through use of reliable, secondary sources. Can you give me a description of what makes Nardcore unique, and point at the reliable, secondary sources that lead to that description? If you can do that, I'm happy to work with you to improve the article in that direction. Who is "We" and what are these archived sources you're referring to? Again, I welcome improvement of the article with reliable, secondary sources that actually talk about Nardcore. LA Times, OC Weekly, etc, are reliable sources as publications, but the sources offered either do not discuss Nardcore or the discussion is offered by an interviewee (WP:PRIMARY). You've got an article here that is basically about the Nardcore bands, not Nardcore itself. Genre articles are not supposed to be a list of bands, as I pointed out prior. Thank you. Waggie (talk) 17:02, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Merge
Delete. With the exception of this source, which seems to list everything, the references provided are just a bombardment of "...the genre known as Nardcore" or "...including Nardcore artists like..." I searched a dozen or so other GNews hits, and while you can definitively say that the genre exists, there's nothing in the way of significant coverage about the genre. There are no sources like "here's what you need to know about nardcore". A proliferation of interviews, primary sources, and name drops do not denote significance or notability; it just means something exists. If you can find some sources that actually talk about nardcore I'm willing to reconsider my opinion. Primefac (talk) 17:16, 4 January 2018 (UTC)- Updated opinion based on the well-reasoned reply below by Chubbles. A paragraph or two could certainly be added somewhere.

- Merge to Punk rock in California. There's some poor reasoning on both sides above. Tertiary sources are prima facie evidence of secondary source coverage; if an encyclopedia has an article about a topic, it's because it's noteworthy enough to end up in an encyclopedia (and so, in virtually all cases, most likely noteworthy enough to end up here). That said...the encyclopedia manqué discussed here does not, as far as I can tell, meet WP:RS guidelines, and I took the liberty of junking some of the other links that definitely aren't up to snuff. At least a couple of the sources proffered, especially the OC Weekly and VC Star sources, clearly establish that there was a hardcore scene around Oxnard that came to carry its own designation, and that merits mention in a paragraph within an existing article on hardcore. It also establishes the utility of having something parked at Nardcore for user convenience - if not an article, then a redirect. Deletion is not a good option on the table. What I'm not seeing from these sources is much indication that this designation referred to a distinct style or close-knit scene that engendered its own critical or rock-journalistic attention as such; it just seems to refer to hardcore from Oxnard. That deserves some mention within the context of SoCal punk, but I'm not seeing enough on which to hang a separate article here. That said, there should be no prejudice to re-creation if more robust sources materialize. Chubbles (talk) 06:37, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- I think you make some very good points, thank you. I would support a merge to Punk rock in California. I also agree that there should be no prejudice against re-creation if better sourcing becomes available. Waggie (talk) 19:44, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep What are you idiots talking about? Nardcore is the father of the other punk in California. Yeah Nardcore learned a little from England and New York, but its our own thing. The guys in LA learned from Nardcore. And its still alive today, there was a concert this weekend. You know its hard to get anybody to write about anything punk. Even against those odds, you've got bunch of "sources" a couple of daily newspapers, a bunch of weekly newspapers. What do you possibly expect from a scene that has had to be DIY for the better part of 40 years? And most of it is even correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.24.214.124 (talk) 18:21, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

- Comment. Three days ago I noted this article was prone to deletion at its talk page, and nothing was done. It might be salvageable by the usual dodge of writing "Prosecution/Trial/Arrest/etc. of Cassie Sainsbury" -- if so, though, the lengthy history of her life would be irrelevant, and only the last bit would count. But truly, alas, the pointless prosecution of the War on Drugs is nothing unusual, and it would make far more sense to lump the content in with many other such cases. According to [49], "Her case has shone a light on the hundreds of foreign drug mules in Colombian prisons." We could have an article on that, and this name could redirect to it, so we definitely should not see any admin action that would prevent creation of that redirect. But otherwise it is hard to argue a way to keep this. Wnt (talk) 23:54, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

- Weak Delete. While a tragedy, I do not think it currently justifies a Wikipedia article (although I could see that that could change eg if the investigations were to lead to new fire safety laws in Scotland). I would agree that Cameron House is almost certainly notable enough to have its own article, and that obviously should cover the fire, but as noted that is not a reason for keeping this one.

Contested PROD. This article reads like it was written by the subject himself (or someone close to him) as a means of self-promotion.

Too soon: Not sure whether is a WP:COI self-promotion or not, but I did some google search in certain past ago, and the quantity are not very meet to the WP:BIO, maybe WP:TOOSOON for now. SA 13 Bro (talk) 03:39, 14 January 2018 (UTC)- Keep. I can see that some pretty distinguished editors think that the page has not established notability. I might explain my spur for creating the paper was the UN award which I heard on the BBC and which had extensive coverage in UK media and no doubt in non-English media elsewhere. It is not quite correct to say that the award "does not even have a Wikipedia page". The young champions award is in fact part of the UN Champions of the Earth which has been running since 2005. 2017 is the first year of the young champions and Dixon is one of the six champions in this first round. This is a clearly a prestigious global award. As for "promotion", I was very careful when writing the page to adhere to Wikipedia guidelines in terms of stating facts that were sourced from one or more media sources and using a neutral tone. It was reviewed by Babymissfortune who is an experienced reviewer. Whilst I would be sorry to see my first Wikipedia page deleted, I have learned a lot in drafting it. Zosimos102 (talk) 11:54, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment @Zosimos102: When a reviewer reviews a page, it doesn't mean that the page is already acceptable for Wikipedia. When I reviewed this article, an AFD has already been created. I was supposed to place a notability tag but since there is already an AFD that questions the person's notability, there is no need to add that tag. I only reviewed the article, but that doesn't mean I support the page to be kept. Babymissfortune 12:38, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Neutral: I didn't seemed any COI issue per comment at above, so it should be either tag notability as biographies or deletion as too soon. SA 13 Bro (talk) 16:35, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Update. It appears that the Shell LiveWIRE award also has a Wikipedia page, which is another argument for notability and keeping the page.Zosimos102 (talk) 11:38, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- That award may have an article, but I don't see any reason why winning it would confer notability on a subject. Same goes for the Young Champion of the Earth award. Other people have won the Champion of the Earth award in the past, but they all have other claims to notability. Adam Dixon does not. – PeeJay 19:00, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- @PeeJay2K3: With due respect to your extensive editing of football related pages, I think you ought to think again. If you look at 1992 births (of which Dixon is one), there are many sportsmen and women, including footballers for quite minor clubs (to take one example from many, Blair Anderson who plays for Coalville Town F.C). In comparison, Dixon is an inventor whose hydroponic system is an important innovation which may affect thousands of lives. "Dixon’s cost-effective, rapidly deployable product is now being piloted by the World Food Programme in refugee camps to support the supply of fresh produce to thousands of people in what are often uncultivable, barren locations." to quote the UN citation. The UN prize is global, and winning it should be seen as equivalent to a major sporting prize. I have nothing against football or sport, but think you need to take an objective view of what counts as a notable prize.Zosimos102 (talk) 15:24, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- I have previously expressed misgivings about the notability criteria being too inclusive when it comes to football - there are too many articles on minor players such as the one you mentioned. Therefore I don't think you can use that as an argument against my objectivity in this case. Furthermore, "What about X?" isn't actually a valid argument here. Just because there are a lot of articles on minor footballers doesn't mean this article has any more right to exist. There were plenty of stories about Dixon at the time, but what about since? If this technology ends up saving the human race from extinction, fair enough, but at the minute, he's won a meaningless corporate award and a bit of grant money, that's all. – PeeJay 15:34, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- The United Nations Young Champions is not a "meaningless corporate award". Granted, there are many business awards around some of which are more dubious than others, but the UN is a major Global institution (not a corporation) which is not so easily dismissed. My argument is that this should be viewed just as important as a major sporting award (or indeed media award), which we would both agree should be included. I cannot predict the future, but another governmental body, Finance Wales certainly sees great potential in the technology reflected in its valuation of the Phytoponics company at £2m (and that was before the UN Young Champion award) and its reported funding under the accelerated growth programme. Cardiff university has also supported it (as evidenced by the news items on the subject). So, I would argue that it is not a "meaningless corporate award". Maybe it won't save us from extinction, but the technology has the support of some influential international and national institutions that to me demonstrate notability. Would you really place your judgment above the UN and the Welsh government (Finance Wales)? By the way, I was not arguing that minor football players should be deleted, since they have a lot of public interest. I was just using this as an example to get you to think again about your initial judgment about what is notable and what is not.Zosimos102 (talk) 16:58, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

- Delete all these are terms specifically created and applied to betting at the Hong Kong Jockey Club. The general names for the terms are already covered by horse racing betting articles. The terms at Parimutuel betting need to be scrubbed for general Hong Kong wagering, not ones specific to the Hong Kong Jockey Club. They are also very poor disambiguation choices (Horse Racing Terminology) had first letter of each word in caps, which is wrong. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:50, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

- Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Specific concerns with the references include:
- glasgowcityfc.co.uk - primary source, not suitable for GNG.
- soccerway.com - Stat site, no significant coverage
- falkirkherald.co.uk - dead link by the look of things, although the headline would indicate and article more focused on a team she played for not the player herself
- tartankicks.uk 1 - routine transfer talk, consensus is this should not be used to support GNG.
- bbc.co.uk - routine match report. Very brief mention of the player, but nothing approaching significant coverage
- tartankicks.uk 2 - routine transfer talk, consensus is this should not be used to support GNG.
- facebook.com - primary source, not suitable for GNG. Fenix down (talk) 13:22, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Fenix down: The page creator has just added [58] source, please also leave a comment on this source, thanks. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 14:14, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- And [59] and [60], thanks! Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 14:23, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- None of those three sources mention the player in any significant detail. They are all articles about clubs and routine match reporting with trivial mentions of the player at best. Fenix down (talk) 15:20, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Fenix down: In terms of the web there is not much coverage of women's soccer here in scotland. The player Nicole Pullar has alot of coverage for a female footballer so I believe she satisfies GNG. [[61]] is a major source of information on women's soccer here in scotland so I added that as a reference. The other references I have added (national newspapers and bbc) is to show the player is continuously a main player in matches. Being the top scorer for the last three years for a top level team in scotland (team finished in the top four for the last two seasons) should surely satisfy GNG. The player was the main forward signing for the league champions Glasgow City (they are a professional club) who play in the Champions League. The reference I added was through the Glasgow City website because the other places I initially read it (I believe daily record) could not be located. I am a woman who didn't play alot of soccer but always looked for information and found very little in newspapers etc. I added the facebook reference because I could not find the information through other media and felt it would be ultimately helpful in information terms. I created the article because I know there are alot of people like myself, especially girls who look for information. I'm just trying to help the encyclopedia and I believe this player satisfies GNG. Hope you and the other editors understand this. Thanks for contributing to the argument GlasgowBraveheart (talk) 16:20, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but if there isn't significant independent coverage of the player in reliable sources then the player doesn't pass GNG. Fenix down (talk) 23:16, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- I think it would be really interesting to explore what qualifies as significant independent coverage. As far as I'm aware female profiles on the encyclopedia account for less than 25% of total articles. I would say professionalism in sport accounts greatly toward this stat. The fact women's football in scotland gets very little media coverage is telling. Do you think this should be taken into consideration as a defining factor in GNG? GlasgowBraveheart (talk) 22:43, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- There's no need for exploration, WP:GNG is quite clear that whilst a given source does not have to be specifically about the subject it must contain more than a trivial mention. That is why none of the sources in the article support GNG. The fact that women's football in Scotland gets, as you say, very little media coverage is in direct correlation with its popularity and the less coverage a subject gets the less notable it is. Fenix down (talk) 07:49, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

- Keep - I created the article and believe the player satisfies GNG. Top scorer for a top level team SPL1 for three consecutive seasons. The Team finished in the top 4 for the last two seasons. [[62]] is a major information outlet for women's soccer here in Scotland so it is a reliable source. I'm sure the player represented the country at u-19 level but I cannot find any current evidence to support this but am working on it. I've also added a link to the page that was broken. There is not alot of coverage of women's soccer in Scotland so the player has had significant coverage in that respect.

- Speedy close. Why are you recreating an article that has been dormant for 4 years so you can nominate it for deletion? Just restore the redirect and close this AFD. SnowFire (talk) 08:56, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Not exactly sure what your rationale is for a speedy close. It should never have been made a redirect in the first place, if that's what you're saying. With an article this large it should have gone through AfD, per Wikipedia policy.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 11:27, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. Articles get merged & redirected, then unmerged, then redirected, all the time. If nobody contests it, just let it happen. Additionally, if ANY material was merged or merged-in-the-future, or if there is ANY hope to recreate the article (which, considering other articles on video game characters, definitely exists), then the revision history should be kept for GFDL compliance.

- It would be WP:UNDUE to get into game details and boxscores at Big Baller Brand, so it would only be a partial merge. It would be better to merge into 2017–18 BC Prienai season if such an article existed. However, there are no other season articles for BC Prienai, so it's possible their seasons are not notable aside for the recent inclusion of the Ball brothers. I'm currently neutral on whether this subject is worthy of a standalone article with game-by-game details, but it's likely to receive continued coverage.—Bagumba (talk) 16:36, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep this is a serious tournament with serious professional teams. As well it garners world wide attention. --H-Hurry (talk) 20:33, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep" Not only does it look to gain recognition for Lithuanian basketball in the U.S.A., but it also provides exposure on both the Ball brothers and other young talents that play in this tournament, like Rokas Jokubaitis or Regimantas Miniotas. Not to mention even if this ultimately does nothing for LiAngelo Ball's 2018 NBA Draft stock, it still provides potential support for LaMelo Ball when his draft comes up. I say let it stay! – AGreatPhoenixSunsFan (talk) 01:41, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- For the record, neither LiAngelo or LaMelo is still eligible for any future NBA drafts. Both are now considered professionals. Also, you didn't provided a policy-based rationale. We have no obligation to provide support or exposure for these athletes. Lepricavark (talk) 02:21, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- One correction: they can still be drafted; plenty of guys get drafted after playing professionally overseas. You may be confusing NBA draft eligibility with NCAA eligibility. Zagalejo^^^ 14:03, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, Zagalejo is right on that aspect. I meant to include draft stock when first mentioning LiAngelo Ball in that aspect, but I guess that slipped my mind a bit there. That's a bit of my fault there, but that doesn't stop Zagalejo's point from being true all the same. – AGreatPhoenixSunsFan (talk) 03:29, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Plus, if you want to delete this page, then you will need to delete this wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Deputy_mayors, and then delete the other 93 Wikipedia pages connected to it as they are all individual deputy mayor pages in New Zealand, Beijing and Israel (there are also other similar wiki pages that would also need to be deleted that have been approved) Wikipedia says: "These "other stuff exists" arguments can be valid or invalid". This one is valid as the page meets the same criteria that the 100s of others met and were approved on. This man is also mentioned on a bunch of other Wikipedia pages, so it gives more context and credibility to those other approved pages. If Admin want they can link this to any number of those or with the Deputy Mayor pages. Also, Lake Macquarie City is a big city in Australia. It is bigger than many high profile ones like Newcastle, Townsville and Darwin. Finally, being Deputy Mayor of a large city is notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiLuke1980 (talk • contribs) 06:36, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

- Delete. While some of the articles in the Category:Deputy mayors tree may need to be reviewed, what WikiLuke is missing is that (a) Beijing is a major international global city, which is that rare class of cities where we accept even the regular city councillors as passing WP:NPOL, which Lake Macquarie is not, and (b) in the Israel and New Zealand categories it may be true that some of the articles may need to be reviewed for whether they're actually suitable for inclusion or not, many others are people who also served in the national Parliament of New Zealand or the Knesset and thus unconditionally pass WP:NPOL #1 regardless of the notability or non-notability of deputy mayors per se. Which makes them not relevant to this article's includability or deletability, because they're not equivalent situations. At any rate, deputy mayors are not a class of people who get an automatic presumption of notability on Wikipedia just because they exist — but what we've got here for referencing is a directly affiliated primary source (his profile on the city's own website), a routine list of all of the candidates in his electoral district, and just one reference that's actually about him (as well as two circular "references" to other Wikipedia articles, which had to be stripped because we're not allowed to do that). This is not enough coverage to consider him a special case who's somehow more notable than the norm among an otherwise non-notable class of officeholders. And our conflict of interest rules preclude Luke from creating the article himself, as well. Bearcat (talk) 20:21, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
