Article is without a single source, that appears to be written by the lead singer of the band (and is written like an advertisement for that matter) so a clear WP:COI issue here. Survived speedy deletion because creator removed tag in 2013 with a claim that the band were signed to Darla (which there is no source for available), has somehow survived since. I can find no significant relevant coverage for this band, nor any indication they pass WP:MUSIC at all. ser! (chat to me). 22:39, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

- Delete I am the editor who added the cleanup-rewrite template last November. It is clear that the lead singer is the only person who really cares about this band, and they are also evidently only contributing to Wikipedia as a medium for self-advertisement. A speedy deletion was also declined in 2010, as Rafa had done "a great deal of work" to the article, however a quick look at the current state of the history section may tell you that the article fails to comply with the standards of Wikipedia, and that there are no sources listed anywhere. As such I support a deletion. Cilidus (talk) 23:54, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - It must be noted that they have a fairly long biography at AllMusic [1], and one album review there too. However the bio article is largely a laundry list of members joining and leaving. Usually, that would help a band reach the notability rules here, but I can find no other reliable media coverage of this band despite their long history and many albums. Perhaps they had a Spanish equivalent of their name that was used in their country, but for our purposes here they are largely invisible beyond the usual streaming and retail sites. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 04:02, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - in terms of Allmusic as a means of establishing notability, relevant discussion relating to this on WP:RSN at the moment. Acousmana (talk) 18:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
The Yellow Melodies are an active indiepop band from Spain that are releasing records nowadays on international labels such as The Beautiful Music (Canada), Old Bad Habits (Greece) or Spanish labels, and they're even releasing more records abroad than in their own country. They're releasing a new EP called "Sunshine Pop Ep3" in late March 2021, that's why I consider they should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rafaskam (talk • contribs) 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - The person above has the same name as the band's leader (see WP:DUCK), created the article back in 2010 and wrote most of the text. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

WP:POVFORK of UFO. A not-quite-coherent synthesis that emphasizes "truly unexplained" and "off world" interpretations of the concept that are based on the term being used in widely varying and unrelated contexts. LuckyLouie (talk) 22:11, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Indiscriminate melange of fairly common words that have been used to mean a variety of things. I'd call it synthesis, except that it's not really coherent enough to qualify. XOR'easter (talk) 22:36, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Core of this is a more-sympathetic POV fork of UFO. The citations are a grab bag of whatever has used the words 'Advanced Aerospace Vehicle' and are not about a singular topic. - MrOllie (talk) 22:45, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- C'mon Delete It This is the work of an over-enthusiastic editor who seems to be righting great wrongs here at the 'pedia. This is not a topic found in the literature.

- Delete or merge anything worth it in Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program that seems to be the main article about this topic. —PaleoNeonate – 07:37, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, but rewrite. A search on scholar.google.com indicates it is a legitimate mainstream aerospace term going back to at least the 1960s. The problem is that the article as written gives it usage that it does not deserve. I suggest it be cleaned up to remove the UFO stuff and the term be added to Wikipedia's Glossary of aerospace engineering. Also, tag it with {{cleanup AfD}} ("Use this tag where an AFD discussion closes with a consensus of "keep and cleanup."). Then come back in six months for another look. 5Q5|✉ 14:45, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Should the article be deleted in its current form, to the editor who created it, please read WP:RADP before republishing. 5Q5|✉ 15:26, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- None of that literature seems to indicate that the term has a specific, established meaning, though. It's just the next-generation technology, whatever that might be at the time. Making an article based on the juxtaposition of common nouns and adjectives seems like inventing a definite term when there isn't one. And even if there were some NASA glossary with a bullet point that fixed an official meaning for "Advanced Aerospace Vehicle" (more specific than "vehicle of the future!"), I think WP:TNT would apply.

- Delete Not only is the article a content fork, "Advanced Aerospace Vehicle" seems less a specific topic of study than an eye-grabbing, non-specific phrase. I have no comment about whether, as an editor claims above, the term is "legitimate" in mainstream professional literature, but I do know the adjective "advanced" is a trope in science and engineering.

They don't actually support the existence of this article.” There’s no coherent topic here, just what looks to be an attempt to justify the existence of a particular phenomenon by reference to the use of the same terminology to mean something else.

Non notable single by an obscure band. Tagged since 2010.

- Redirect to Happiness Ltd. Obscure band? Three top 40 singles and two top 40 albums in the UK, they were pretty popular there for a few years. But yes, I agree this single isn't notable... positions below 100 in the UK chart are not available to the general public, they are just for industry subscribers, and let's be honest, no. 138 isn't much of an indication of notability. Richard3120 (talk) 22:14, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect as above. BigDom (talk) 08:24, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to album. To be fair, nominator is definitely wrong to label the band as "obscure" — it's admittedly now been quite a while since their heyday, but they were literally one of the biggest and most famous rock bands around in their prime. That said, this song doesn't date from their prime, and it doesn't have any notability claim that's "inherently" notable per WP:NSONGS — just because a notable band released it is not an automatic inclusion freebie that would exempt it from having to have a lot more sourcing than this.

- Keep. I found two in-depth published reviews in unrelated journals, also establishing its earlier history back to 1984. I think it passes WP:GNG. As for the impact factor, I think that that's almost completely irrelevant. Impact factors tell you something about the spikiness of citations to recent papers in journals for fast-moving journal-based fields. They tell you almost nothing about the typical or median or long-term citations of papers in the same journals. And in this case it's a journal for book reviews in the humanities. Who cites book reviews? That's missing the point of the journal. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:43, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Agree with David Eppstein. The index factor also is different dependent on the site you use - 2 on some sites 0.149 on others.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 00:19, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep The journal has no impact factor, as it isn't indexed in any Clarivate database. However, it's indexed by Scopus and we generally take that to satisfy NJournals. The two in-depth reviews added to the article by David show that it even passes GNG (quite rare for an academic journal). The article can be expanded according to the tips given in our journal article writing guide. --Randykitty (talk) 10:39, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep thank you for the additional sources. Agreed. Basicly it passes WP:GNG. --Kemalcan (talk) 12:32, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep For a journal of this type and in this field, impact factor is a meaningless number. High, low, who cares? Here, we have scholarly sources writing about it, and it's indexed in a selective database. XOR'easter (talk) 16:16, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

- Question. Does the fellowship with the Royal College of Physicians (or any of the other fellowships listed) suffice for WP:NPROF C3? Russ Woodroofe (talk) 16:39, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- I'd say, depends. These are elected postions; its considered a prestigious position, but when I was doing the James Spence Medal series of articles, I noticed a lot physicians were getting deleted, even though they were FRCP or had some other listing. To become notable within the profession, to make it into the books, they had to have invented some surgical procedure, or advanced research in some way. I think probably, they're is a lot of fellows, but unless they advance the industry, they're not particularly notable. When you look at e.g. Plarr's Lives of the Fellows, and the other archive (the name escapes me), if each one of them had another obit, they would all be notable, but quite a number, don't have that. I think that is the reason for deletion. scope_creepTalk 17:22, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

- Unfortunately it has been only cited 8 times [2] 2nd row, which is far too low to pass the notability threshold for academics. Having looked at it over the weekend, I've came to the conclusion that he is non-notable. I suspect that there might be an article a couple of decades up the road, assuming there is a couple of obits scope_creepTalk 12:08, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Exactly. To quote from the explanatory notes in WP:PROF regarding WP:PROF#C1: The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates. If the publication had been cited 800 times, there might have been something to talk about in terms of WP:PROF#C1, but not with just 8 citations. Nsk92 (talk) 12:10, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- In some domains, papers may not be cited too many times, if it is niche. In this case what stands is the reputation of the publication. Having done some work around paper reviews, I feel #citations may not be an absolute parameter to either accept or reject WP:PROF#C1. Having said that, I dont see any other parameter to support notability and would !vote delete. Vikram 10:10, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- comment does not pass WP:NPROF based on publications but after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lisa Jones (scientist) we can hardly argue that we should keep Lisa Jones and delete this article. --hroest 14:45, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've been looking at that. It is a complete double standard being applied on the Lisa Jones article, that completely breaks WP:BIO and WP:ACADEMIC. scope_creepTalk 16:04, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Weak delete per WP:TNT at the least. I don't see a pass of WP:NPROF C1 here -- possibly WP:TOOSOON. I'm uncertain about the case for C3, but since the RCP fellowship is not supported by a reliable source (and I didn't succeed in finding one), I don't think this forms a good keep argument for the article. Meanwhile, there is little from the current text of the article that would go into an eventual article on the subject. I certainly don't think that we should take a no-consensus close on another article (with particularly tart comments from the closing admin about poor keep arguments) as forming any kind of precedent. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 16:13, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. Citation record doesn't support WP:PROF#C1 and the article is too heavily promotional and padded for me to tell whether there might be anything else of actual notability hidden in it. WP:TNT and WP:CSD#G11 are also relevant. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:58, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

- KBQS-LP (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I rarely send radio station articles to AfD, but I'm so dearly lost with this one I don't know where to start.
First, some facts:
- There is a KBQS-LP! It's licensed to Sacramento, not San Francisco, and it should be on 98.9. The technical parameters in the infobox are not real.
- It is related to San Francisco, in that the owner has tried to move it there. This real FCC exhibit reads like a rambling manifesto. Something about coverage issues.
- I cannot find information on what KBQS-LP has actually aired or indeed any coverage of this low-power station that passes the general notability guideline.
If it didn't have to do with a licensed radio station and documents that are real FCC exhibits but also not coherent, I might have tagged it for speedy deletion. As it is, even this topic editor is unsure what to make of it, but she is confident that the station fails the GNG and that this article is verging on patent nonsense.

- Comment: @TheDreamBoat: So what if it's dinky? Complete it, don't delete it. Americanfreedom (talk) 14:48, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Delete: This does not exactly rise to the level of a hoax, but it certainly is not about an actually licensed radio station. The owner of the "station" in this article applied with the FCC for an FM Booster in San Francisco, but this application was dismissed, as were all of their other filings with the FCC. In this bizarre document, the person who applied for the booster in San Francisco said that they filed charges against the owner of the actually licensed station in Sacramento. Despite what the article and linked document claim, no assignment of license or transfer of control was ever filed with the FCC, and KBQS-LP officially remains owned by Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen, not Sky Earth Network. While this article was originally written about the actually licensed station, information about the station's status and history is so clouded that it would be impossible to write an article about the station with any degree of accuracy. Reliable sources just aren't there.--Tdl1060 (talk) 20:06, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Delete First things first, the 98.9 allocation for San Francisco is held by KSOL. It's no wonder they got rejected to cover on that frequency.
- Searching for their alleged 'sister station' KONB took me to this WIX site (WIX being a favorite haunt for TV/radio hoaxers here), which asks me to subscribe for $5/month to a TV service that doesn't exist, and somehow airs The Young & the Restless, Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray and Law & Order, which is likely news to KPIX-TV. Another link for their 'sister FM station' KONB-FM takes me to this bizarre podcast feed seemingly hosted by automated GoAnimate voices and random Fiverr'ed VOAs with commercials and audio stripped from an actual radio station. KXPD is a real station which isn't related to this in any way, of course, and then the last link I found was to the subject's YouTube channel, which is a mix of false TV promos, videos of a web browser trying to show this station is 'real', and other videos of the subject which I'm not going to comment on because I have no doctorate in anything and an overwhelming concern for their health overall. So this definitely isn't real at all, and AF, deletion is the only course here because if we tried to 'complete' this, it would be hosting a hoax here. Nate • (chatter) 23:26, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
Delete: I tried to make my way through this level of crazy and even I couldn't make sense of it. Everywhere I turn, Ms. Stein has her mitts in things and has muddied the waters so much, I can't even tell what's going on. Per Tdl1060, the station (according to FCC records), is owned by the Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen and not Sky Earth Network nor Ms. Stein. I can find no documentation where a sale has taken place between Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen and Stein. Per Sammi Brie, the station is, indeed, licensed to Sacramento and 98.9 and not San Francisco or 98.7. Now, an application was filed for the station to San Fran and to 98.7, but it was dismissed for reasons brought up by Mrschimpf (ie: KSOL). Finally, the station has been off the air since 3/19/2019, so technically, it's been silent for more than a year. While the FCC has allowed this, it is typically considered after 1 year a station is silent, the station is no longer on the air and relinquishes it's license under FCC rules.
- Given all that and the mess that page is and the lack of viable, verifiable, reliable, sourceable information, I have to !vote delete here. When something, anything, can be added that can bring this back to even sub-stub status, I am more than happy to recreate the article myself. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:59 on February 18, 2021 (UTC)
- Neutral: After hearing from RecNet (who I trust) and making changes to the page (if it was going down, it was going down without the crap on it), I am changing my !vote to Neutral. I agree with the Keeps that RevDel of Hoax Edits is HIGHLY NECESSARY AND MUCH NEEDED if this page is kept. While, I would like to see more in the article about it's past broadcasts, what it did before it went off the air and even if this hack that Recnet spoke of was covered by Sacramento or DC media. Even if it was covered by RadioInsight, Scott Fybush, or RecNet themselves. I'll take it. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:42 on February 21, 2021 (UTC)
- I've worked with Michi on some off-wiki projects and am an extremely heavy user of FCCdata (few radio articles on stations extant after 1980 start without a visit there), but I am unfortunately not convinced that the coverage exists to justify the article—otherwise, I would have withdrawn the nomination with the decision to revert back to a stub. I searched high and low and came up with nothing to say what KBQS-LP even broadcast when it was activated. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:00, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- The "hack" I speak of is nothing more than just being able to get the FRN (FCC Registration Number) password. This can be done by either (1) guessing an easy password, (2) knowing the answer to the security question - which for some FRN accounts is very easy or (3) contacting the FCC and pretending to be a board member of the station and getting the password reset. I can tell you that I have had discussions with the FCC Audio Division about "Kaylee" and the abuses they have done. I am not sure if/what the FCC has done (and if I did, I would not be at liberty to talk about it). Honestly, I don't want to see this brought up in trade publications because I don't want to give "Kaylee" any additional attention. This person has been doing this for years, even before the string of abusive filings on KBQS-LP. We have seen our share of original FM and TV CPs in the Bay Area originated from this person. The underlying non-profit, Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen has been closed due to COVID [1], but still, I am not sure of their involvement or whether they were a host organization (e.g. another group of people who approached them to license under their organization because SBK is more than 2 years old and would have qualified for the local presence preference point during the LPFM filing window. [2] I know there's not much information about the station, however, I see my share of listings on Wikipedia (LPFM and full-service) where the mere existence of the station warrants a page. KBQS-LP (and any other LPFM that is licensed or had their license cancelled) should be listed and preserved, even if only the bare technical and administrative information is available. Recnet (talk) 01:57, 22 February 2021 (UTC)recnet
- @Recnet: Please know, I am most-certainly not questioning whether you make any of this effort ot not. I was just curious if there had been media coverage. To be honest, I have never heard of such a thing and I thought it would be a little tougher (probably is now). Normally a government hack (ie: FCC) gets a TON of media coverage.
- @Sammi Brie: Trust me, I know. RecNet is heavily used by a LOT of us here too, myself included. :) RecNet is used in place of CRTC (since it can't be searched) in Canada. Anyway, my plan was, even if it was deleted, I was going to recreate it with current and correct information, some information about past broadcasts and what was aired, and some information on the hack. Because, unfortunately, Recnet, we cover it all (as long as it's sourced), good or bad. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 04:38 on February 22, 2021 (UTC)
- Neutral: After hearing from RecNet (who I trust) and making changes to the page (if it was going down, it was going down without the crap on it), I am changing my !vote to Neutral.

- Keep and semi-protect after the recent cleanup/restoration edit by Neutralhomer.[5] This edit is pretty much the same content as the pre-vandalism edit from 13 August 2020.[6] Since it is a silent station with no apparent notability beyond existence, I'm okay with soft-deletion, but I would like to see the vandalism edits revision-deleted as hoax-edits. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 01:21, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep and add semi-protection. As the national regulatory advocate for the Low Power FM radio service, I am aware of the vandalism that is taking place and the person who is involved vandalizes other systems including those operated by the FCC and REC Networks (my organization). The person responsible for the vandalization has filed many applications on this LPFM station. Somehow or another, they were able to hack into or misrepresent themselves to the FCC to get information in order to make modifications. My personal attempts to reach the actual parties involved with Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen, the true licensee of this station, have been unsuccessful. This station is currently licensed and it is my understanding that the station has been silent, but it is hard to tell because of the many fake applications that have been filed by the person vandalizing the page. [3] All LPFM stations (and organizations and individuals who support them) should be eligible for a Wikipedia page. I would ask that any information about this station reflect only the information from the FCC as well as various reliable sources for LPFM information such as REC Networks, Common Frequency and Prometheus Radio Project.

- This AfD is rather complicated, so I figured I'd restate the situation for the benefit of editors. The current article is vastly different from how it stood when I nominated it for AfD. It is a sub-stub article with accurate information that could conceivably stand in most circumstances. I still cannot shake my concern about coverage or any reliable info on what this station actually aired; if I could, this nomination would have been withdrawn nearly two weeks ago.

- Comment: Same here. I've weighed in my mind whether to strike my delete !vote, but many of my concerns do remain. As far as the FCC records are concerned, the article is accurate.

- Ok, so all the people who are cited with no sources should be deleted? And is a blog a reliable source? I don't think so. JeanPetitquitiensunbalais (talk) 20:01, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to the various Category:Lists of assassinations as appropriate and then redirect to List of assassinations. Going by the aforementioned category, nationality alone does not seem to be a standard parameter by which to list assassinations. This was of course not the intention when the article was created back in 2006, either: back then, the title was Laicist Turks who are murdered. It was moved to a variation of the current title later the same year with the comment
A more neutral title which could also help this to be developed into a broader article.
In the decade and a half that has passed since then, we have become more discerning about the scopes of the articles (including lists) we create and maintain. Back then, arbitrary scopes that had been "eyeballed" (so-to-speak) by editors without being supported by sources were tolerated/accepted to a much greater extent. We should really stop and think about which parameters we should and should not fork List of assassinations by, because the possibilities are virtually endless: there's motive, method, location (which is currently the main way we sort it, though I can't say I understand why), year, nationality of victim, nationality of perpetrator, age of victim, age of perpetrator, occupation of victim, occupation of perpetrator, time of year, and so on. So we end up with articles such as List of assassinations in Albania, List of assassinated serving ambassadors, List of assassinations by firearm, List of Israeli assassinations, and so on. We even have an article called List of Turkish diplomats assassinated by Armenian militant organisations whose scope overlaps with this list (and uses several parameters in conjunction to define the scope). So is the Turkish nationality of the victim a good and meaningful way to fork List of assassinations? Well no, I don't think so—though I am open to arguments to the contrary. So while it is true that the nominator has not presented any valid argument for deletion, this really isn't a good scope for a list article (and never has been) and we should merge the content to elsewhere. TompaDompa (talk) 15:57, 28 February 2021 (UTC) - Comment, not all categories require an article. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:19, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. The default assumption is that a category of this sort requires an article It is true that not all categories require a list artoc;e, but where a categoy is both very specific and a list can provide relevant information, they should. A list article provides context, a list provides nothing but links. anyone searching in this area, or trying to see the scope of it, would be much better served with a list like this.. The minimal context a list provides is dates, which is always helpful. In this instance., there's more, indicating the reason in terms of politics and history. The only advantage of a category over a lsit is that it's formed automatically, and this is of real value mainly for large amorphous categories. DGG ( talk ) 12:04, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, there's enough amount of information which is cited, and the category list is notable and non-trivial enough to create a list. If there's a problem, like some uncited materials, then these issues should be addressed on the article talk page and appropriate noticeboards (like portal talk pages), not in an AfD.

(Click on the green bar, then copy paste the Persian name into the searchbar.) The Iranian census document linked to in the article does indeed call Bagh-e Hajji Abdol a village, but given that there are other "villages" listed in the same county with names translating to "gas station", "cement factory", and "peasant chicken slaughterhouse", it seems that the census takers were taking note of pretty much any building they came across.

- Delete - zero real world notability. Simple brief mentions, fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 15:44, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - Background: The article was first redirected in 2017 with this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ronnie_Gardocki&diff=765593563&oldid=765525569 The article was in a poor state at the time; excessive fancruft, unsourced OR, zero real-world information and the redirect proceeded undiscussed, perhaps unsurprisingly. Following some recent work I've done on Vic Mackey and Kavanagh's articles, I thought there may well be some justification for the inclusion of other prominent characters-- Shane came to mind, and to a lesser extent, Ronnie and Lem. I decided to resurrect Ronnie, trimming the fat and adding real-world info. I knew from the start some may oppose this. Reasoning: I thought his role as the most prominent breakout character in The Shield per Digital Spy https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a809365/12-minor-tv-characters-who-ended-up-stealing-the-whole-show/ (and many of the other sources provided), might meet notability. Most of the sources already provided do, admittedly, mention Ronnie only trivially. Others, however, mention him in detail, Salon in particular. Also, I had intended to add more to this article, but I'm going to wait and see what the general trend is here before doing anything. Specifically was going to use this source by Robin Abrahams http://archive.boston.com/bostonglobe/magazine/missconduct/2008/09/if_you_were_cas.html and one or two others which I can't seem to find now but will add later.VideoGamePlaya (talk) 18:51, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Weak Keep or merge I'm not sure I understand because I agree with the weak keep of VideoGamePlaya but they are also the nom for deletion.

Another user expressed concern that it contains "nothing but very brief mentions [and] zero real world notability" and restored the undiscussed redirect of 2017 I mentioned in my last reply. I knew there would be some opposition to this article, and I was undecided even myself at first in regards to its notability, so I took it upon myself to nominate for deletion, as I'd like to know what the feeling is among others before attempting any more improvements. That being said I still believe in the weak keep, for the reasons given above.VideoGamePlaya (talk) 20:30, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Comment If that is the case, you should withdraw this nomination (which will be procedurally closed as Speedy Keep by another editor), as you are not actually making a case for deletion because the topic does not meet the WP:GNG threshold in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. May I suggest that you start a discussion on the talk page. or ask for assistance from members of this Wikiproject. An AfD is not the appropriate avenue to get the attention of editors who may be interested in improving an article, especially when you don't actually believe that the article's issues are insurmountable yourself per WP:ATD.

- Sorry. Admittedly I'm new to this, and I assumed submitting one's own work for review here was an acceptable thing to do. I wasn't sure from the beginning if this article was notable enough to justify inclusion on this website. Still though I thought I'd give it a go in good faith. My nomination was simply to ascertain what others thought about the article's suitability before committing any more of time to it. I also saw the process as inevitable - indeed, another user quickly expressed concern. Apologies for any inconvenience. Edit: To add to the inconvenience I'm also unsure how to withdraw a nomination as you've asked. Is there a proper way to do this?VideoGamePlaya (talk) 05:46, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

- Keep - adding the Stylus review and Squid's Ear review to the mix as well, I think that there is probably just enough out there to show that she meets at the least bare minimum level of notability. You could argue that she meets #7 of NMUSICIAN due to being a prominent representative of a very quirky style of music, in my opinion Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 22:17, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep: Pitchfork is one of the most prominent music publications in existence (the review is somewhat early in their run, but Pitchfork fairly regularly removes old reviews they don't endorse), and Stylus was well-known while ran and employed reputable music journalists. I am less familiar with All About Jazz but its page here suggests that it appears to be considered reliable in the jazz writing field. The reviews are unambiguously in-depth and non-trivial. Thus, it passes both WP:GNG and WP:MUSICIAN criterion 1. There is also this retrospective piece (because I know someone will bring it up: one of those sites bankrolled by a brand, in this case Red Bull, but that releases actual longform music journalism that, in this case, is independent of the brand; the author, Clive Bell, is a journalist who specializes in Japanese jazz); it isn't significant coverage of the artist herself but does provide useful background of the scene she was involved in. (https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2014/10/off-site-improvised-music-from-japan). There also appears to be some academic coverage (https://www.jstor.org/action/doBasicSearch?Query="ami yoshida"), and I suspect there is probably coverage in Japanese.

The article notes that Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School is "modeled after Nativity and Cristo Rey (Christ the King) schools founded by Jesuit priests decades ago in major cities". The article notes that Lawrence is "one of the state's poorest cities" and Cristo Rey schools depend nearly fully on charity and companies. The article notes that Notre Dame's students are in a work-study program in which they spend five days monthly at a company. Their tuition is $12,000, and the work allows them to receive wages that pay for 60% of it, or $7,000, so they only need to pay $2,900.
The article notes "Notre Dame, located in the former St. Mary parish high school on Haverhill Street, must attract more business support to grow." It says that the work-study program makes the school $1.5 million annually. This is almost 50% of its $3.3 million yearly budget. The school has partnered with 74 companies at which its students work. Law firms, technology companies, and hospitals participate in the work-study program. The school has classes from 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Volunteers help tutor students in "study halls". The school has vans that transport the students to and from work; the transportation can be 1.5 hours in one direction.

It is run by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. ... In the 2015–2016 school year stu- dents at Cristo Rey Boston earned more than $2.6 million at 125 businesses and non-profit organizations. Employers pay about $34,800 per year for a team of four students, which equates to $23 per hour, according to John O’Keeffe, director of the work study program, though the program is sold both as a way for companies to get work done and an opportunity to help urban young people pay for a college preparatory educa- tion. About 60 percent of the school’s revenue comes from the work-study program."

The article notes, "When Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School was founded in 2004, its mission was to give students from low-income families in Lawrence the opportunity to receive a solid Catholic education and win acceptance at colleges and universities. Thirteen years later, Cristo Rey is batting 1.000, according to Sister Maryalyce Gilfeather, SND, PhD, the school's president and a longtime member of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur." The article notes that Anthony Zavagnin is the principal, the tuition is $7,750, and the students can "afford" that tuition by doing a "corporate work/study" job. The students work at MITRE, Raytheon, Lawrence Catholic Academy, Lawrence General Hospital, Lowell General Hospital, Ironstone Farm, New England Biolabs. The students do jobs that involve "filing, data entry coding and serving as receptionists" as well as nursing assistants. The students wears blue uniforms. Sports offered by the school include softball and basketball. The school is located at 303 Haverhill St., which housed for numerous years the all-girls school St. Mary High School, which stopped operations in 1996. The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur took over the building and established Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School in it. In 2008, the school's inaugural class of students graduated.

- Comment.: I've tried to reorder the comments from the IP addresses so that they are more understandable. IP address 184.170.167.137 has been blocked for repeatedly removing the AFD tag on the article in question. The comments above repeatedly mention how notable the Sagamore of the Wabash award is, but it appears that the award is routinely given to all manner of people, both notable and not. This article notes that "thousands" have been awarded, that there is no centralized roll of awardees, and that the Sachem Award is more prestigious. The "Congressional Recognition" that is mentioned appears to be no more than a minor laudatory statement that was submitted into the Congressional Record (for example, the next entry in the Congressional Record is congratulating a couple on their 50th wedding anniversary). Finally, serving on a Presidential transition team is also not inherently notable; hundreds of people serve as transition team members every time there is a Presidential transition and while their work is important, it is ultimately just temporary and preparatory staff work. In fact, only one of the Department of Transportation transition team members appears to have an article (Polly Trottenberg, and she was Commissioner of Transportation in New York City and nominated to become Deputy Secretary of Transportation. I'm very sorry these IP users (who very much appear to have a close personal connection with Mr. Rodriguez) are taking offense to this AfD, but I still believe this article fails WP:NBIO and should be deleted.

- Delete - I have performed a quick source analysis and could only find two sources that came close to meeting our gold standard of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. That said, I am not particularly familiar with sourcing for airport-related articles, so an independent second opinion on some sources would be appreciated (noted in the table). All told however, I highly doubt this person meets the general notability guideline. Simply serving on a Presidential transition team is nowhere near close to being of inherent notability - hundreds of people serve on each team. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 13:06, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - the questionable items from the talk page links do not speak to notability due to lack of independence. When you have similar stories from multiple sources, all with time and geographic correlation, it's a fair bet they are all written from the same press release.

Fails WP:LISTN and WP:NOT, particularly WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. Mentioning most of these incidents also goes against the principle of WP:BLP1E, as noted on the talk page. Most of them are just covered by local news, which is not noteworthy. The whole theme of treating "gender reveal party accident" as a notable category - and not singling out any other kind of party - also seems rather WP:OR and WP:SOAPBOXy, even if some source mentioned one when reporting on another.

- Comment: Reporting on such accidents from gender-reveal parties seems to be a years-long theme of news media. to the point that there are now articles on the general theme of such parties ending in misfortune, sometimes including their own lists (e.g., 1; 2; 3; 4; 5). Just the New York Times coverage alone is considerable: "Explosive devices used at gender-reveal events have been linked to at least two deaths since 2019 and two major wildfires" it noted this week, after asking "Are Gender Reveals Cursed?" last year, after saying, the year before that, that "a plane crash could be added to th[e] list" of gender-reveal parties that "have ended in calamity". While each singular event may not be considered notable, surely the concept of "gender-reveal parties as a general cause of accidents" is. Crossroads, you say that this "Fails WP:LISTN", but don't say why. Reading through it, it seems crystal clear that gender-reveal-party accidents have with extreme frequency been "discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". --Usernameunique (talk) 08:12, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. This list article is an excuse to detail every non-notable mishap at a gender reveal party, which is not discriminate: "Information should not be included in this encyclopedia solely because it is true or useful. A Wikipedia article should not be a complete exposition of all possible details, but a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject" (WP:NOT). None of these people will be notable (WP:BIO1E) and none of the individual events will be notable (WP:EVENT). Much of the reporting is low-quality sensationalism, which we should not use (WP:SENSATIONAL). There already is a section in Gender reveal party regarding incidents that can be used to appropriately summarize the problems with these events; appropriate sources for that section are pieces that discuss the general issue of gender reveal parties going wrong, not those which only cover individual incidents. With this article we are immortalising - indeed mocking, with the link to Darwin Award - a traumatic event in the lives of non-public figures. We are an encyclopedia, not a pillory. Fences&Windows 20:49, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Per WP:SENSATIONAL, gender reveal party accidents, like most other accidents, are not notable, and this article only exists as it has become a fad to sensationalize them. This kind of thing can get a mention in gender-reveal party#Incidents and injuries and that's all it needs. The keep rationale by User:Lajmmoore demonstrates this; as most gender reveal parties don't end in accidents but tabloid reporting has led to the perception they do.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:40, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

- Ajf773, that reason is explicitly rejected by the notability guidelines: "Notability of lists ... is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. ... Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable". --Usernameunique (talk) 12:50, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Reywas92Talk 19:20, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

- Delete There is no reason to have such a listing of non-notable incidents. This clearly fails not news and not indiscriminate rules.

- Delete -- I came here due to the discussion at BLPN, and this not only contains so many BLP issues and violations, but is also a magnet for many more problems and vios that I don't even know where to begin. First, we should be keeping in mind that a list is not a way to circumvent BLP1E, and that we usually try to respect the privacy of non-notable people. For example, we don't name the spouses and children of notable people, unless those people are themselves notable in their own right, nor do we name non-notable victims of crimes or accidents. (See any airline crash or bridge collapse.) Not everybody wants to be famous (and wisely so), nor does everyone appreciate having their humiliation carved in stone next to their name on Wikipedia.
- This is just a collection of accidents that someone grouped together under an arbitrary title. It's simply a way of cross-referencing info. We could just as easily have a list of people injured by cannons at a party, or accidents involving collisions between snowmachines (snowmobiles) and powerline cables. This is a perfect example of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. We're not a search engine, and I'd leave this sort of cross-referencing to google. For those who would point out a need for safety, I would point to WP:NOTMANUAL.
- What we're basically doing here is creating a category, and you have to be very careful with categories and lists when it comes to BLPs, because --even with the best of intentions-- categorization is the root of all stereotyping which in turn is the root of all prejudice. (Just check any good psychology book for sources on that.) Even with the best of intentions, it can have a terrible way of backfiring. Whenever we do this, we're creating a list of people and defining them solely by the title of that category/list, and that is extremely one-sided and stereotypical. An encyclopedia is about defining things, and a good list article has a subject it defines, but that subject simply consists of multiple elements. Basic fighter maneuvers is a good example of a list article, and so is List of fallacies. This is more a list of BLP violations just waiting to happen. Zaereth (talk) 05:50, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

BLP issues can/should be dealt with by removing names in the articlesI have gone ahead and removed all non-notable names from the list which should take care of BLP issues. Passes WP:LISTN as news outlets have covered this as a trend. As per WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE, none of the categories of articles detailed in the policy actually apply in this situation. Zoozaz1 talk 16:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC) - Delete The number of policy and guideline violations here are almost too much to get into without delving into WP:TLDR problems. This represents a trivial non-identifying characteristic for a list to be built around (WP:SALAT, WP:INDISCRIMINATE), it's entirely populated by minor embarrassing news stories about people who otherwise have done nothing to merit inclusion in Wikipedia for any reason (WP:UNDUE, WP:BLP), it's a magnet for absolutely unremarkable local news. Just, no. The defense of this article seems to consist of people asserting that it doesn't violate all of these policies, against the clear and blatant background of it doing just that. Please make it go away. --Jayron32 19:06, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Delete for failing WP:NOTTEMP. All of these incidents are one-off accidents or bone-headed decisions. While each one may be verified by local news sources the Gender-reveal common thread doesn't warrant its own stand-alone list. Had these incidents happened at company picnics would they be notable?

Keep(New !vote update below): As SFX and SciFiNow are print magazines that have been around for a decent period of time. They should be considered reliable as they both had editorial oversight (SFX staff, SciFiNow staff). Worst-case, we should WP:AGF for print-only coverage remembering that WP:OFFLINE sources are as valid as online ones in order to not introduce WP:RECENTISM. If the significance of the referenced coverage is in question, the history of the page, before this significant trim, at this version Special:PermanentLink/648031973, you can at least see that there was once quoted material with some substance, though more than was necessary. (It may have been over-trimmed a bit, though.) --2pou (talk) 18:41, 2 March 2021 (UTC)- 2pou, Could you link to that coverage by SFX / SciFi now so we can judge whether it is non-trivial? All that the article says is that some episodes were 'rated'. This reminds me of videogames, where IIRC we require more substantial reviews and just passing ratings here and there would not be enough. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:07, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Piotrus: Unfortunately, I cannot, and I never subscribed to either print magazine. I am assuming good faith myself that the editor that added the referenced coverage from the print magazines used good judgement in determining it to be worthwhile and significant. Seems like a leap of faith, but I think it becomes more of a hop than a leap after looking at the old version of the article here: Special:PermanentLink/648031973. In that version, there are lengthy quotes from the reviews that give me a comfortable indication that the pieces were significant coverage. Several quotes themselves are over WP:100W—definitely more than just a rating. Now, it is possible that the entirety of the coverage is the quoted material, but I would hope that is not the case and that the editor followed WP:NOFULLTEXT. Again, I'm AGF, but there's enough to make an informed decision (for me at least). -2pou (talk) 17:56, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- FYI, as I mentioned in my vote above, at least one of the referenced reviews is actually available to view on the Doctor Who Online website, here. And, unfortunately, it seems that the quote from that issue that was in the previous version of this article was the entirety of the review. So, if that is also the case with the others, then that's really not a whole lot. Just based on that section of the website, there was substantially more coverage on the Doctor Who Online site as a whole, rather than just the specific podcast portion of it, which is why I recommended the podcast be redirected/merged to the overall article on the site. Rorshacma (talk) 01:24, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

- Oof. Thanks for pointing out that link. I was definitely not searching the site for the images. I'm now swayed the other way, though a merge is probably more appropriate since only a sentence is at the proposed target. All aren't just a single sentence, and some are on par with Kirkus and Publishers Weekly non-plot review points--almost the foundation of WP:NBOOK--but given that the final quote was much less than the arbitrary 100 words yardstick, and that was required to reach multiple, taking out the assumption that it's only a snippet, it falls short of GNG. -2pou (talk) 05:55, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

For the record, I don't believe I have ever heard one note of Taylor Swift's music, so the FANCRUFT accusations honestly can't be levelled at me. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:59, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- The problem is that the "Track 5" concept is made up by fans--Swift has only confirmed this concept for her most recent albums. She has not elaborated on it as part of her career overall. No indication of its significance in her discography/songs. And this is not a fan-wiki to begin with. HĐ (talk) 13:12, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- To note, even if this concept is verifiable, I earnestly think an article on this matter could constitute WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I do not believe a concept that is "a mythology she's built up with her fan base" is worth an encyclopedic entry. Even in the quote Swift said herself--she admitted she never had such a thing called "Track 5" in mind until it was started among her fans. Why an article on something so delicate that comes off as WP:FORUM or even WP:NOTGOSSIP? HĐ (talk) 13:25, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- An indiscriminate collection of information would be something more like List of Taylor Swift's shoe collection. I think the real test (and something I touch on in User:Ritchie333/Plain and simple guide to A7) is "can a neutral bystander improve the article", and the fact that I, very much a non-fan, have done so suggests that we can. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:30, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Merge into Taylor Swift. I think the concept is worthy of mention given that it has garnered independent coverage, but I don't think it deserves its own article (yet). It could be merged into the 'Songwriting' section, or perhaps get its own. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 13:28, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

This article concerns a grandchild of Franklin Delano Roosevelt who was a psychologist at Sarah Lawrence until recently. The article relies on essentially four sources: (1) bio pages at Sarah Lawrence, (2) a page from the FDR Presidential Library identifying her as one of his many descendants, (3) a directory of academics, and (4) a brief mention in an NYT obituary for her husband. IMHO, this does not qualify as significant media coverage given that, aside from the Sarah Lawrence pages, none of the other sources discuss her in any meaningful capacity. Likewise, BEFORE searches did not return any meaningful results.
So, I'm nominating this because I do not believe it passes WP:GNG or WP:NACADEMIC. If others can find sources meeting those criteria, I'm happy to withdraw the nomination. DocFreeman24 (talk) 00:05, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

- Keep: WP:NACADEMIC #5 pass by virtue of holding a named chair at a major institution (Roy E Larsen Chair of Psychology at Sarah Lawrence). Directing a large university center on education for twenty years and earning tons of awards for her research about teaching, both from her institution and externally, gives her a strong argument for NACADEMIC #7 also, and some of her awards could be passes of #2. And her books are widely reviewed; there is an WP:NEXIST pass of GNG here. - Astrophobe (talk) 03:59, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Astrophobe, Ah, thank you for spotting the named chair appointment. I didn't see that and I agree that it satisfies NACADEMIC #5. I don't agree with the NEXISTS assertion but the point is moot so we don't need to debate it. I'll withdraw the nomination. Thanks much. DocFreeman24 (talk) 04:11, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
