Delete or merge into Gaza War (2008–2009). Much of the information in this article, which began as a split from the main artile, is contained within the main Gaza War (2008–2009) article. No need for a separate article, that does not bring substantially new material or material that can't just be added to the main article (it's not much). Now that we're 15 years from the events, we have a much better idea about what is important and critical for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Longhornsg (talk) 09:20, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. I had thought to merge until I saw Gaza War (2008–2009) was far to long for that. This split was a good idea. If some other split is preferable, or if the main article can be beneficially edited down enormously, I'd support merge but not otherwise. Duplicated content in the main article should be removed. Thincat (talk) 01:14, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Much better to write a decent lead paragraph for this one, and leave it as a stand-alone list. The above suggested Gaza War (2008–2009) has in excess of 500 inline citations, and is extremely detailed. — Maile (talk) 00:47, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: The parent article, Gaza War (2008–2009), is grossly overlength, and if anything, more details would be better split out to here, not the other way around. The initial premise of the split was fine. Iskandar323 (talk) 05:57, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:SPLIT. Gaza War (2008–2009) is very large, and splitting sections off makes good sense.

This article, however, seems to be a direct translation from the user who created the Russian and Ukrainian versions. It is a SPA in English.

The sourcing for the rest of the article (which reads like a resume/CV) is referenced to a lot of primary sources, calendar listings and what looks like art sales or upload sites. It seems they are a run-of-the-mill landscape painter like hundreds of thousands of others around the world.

- I beg to differ, both to the notability criterion not being fulfilled and merging to Marsh Charitable Trust being a solution.
- 1. The Marsh Ecology Award is a prestigious award in the science of ecology, just like the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences is a prestigious award in the science of economy. Most of the recipients are notable enough outside academia to have biographic entries.
- 2. The prize is given by the Marsh Charitable Trust and the British Ecological Society in cooperation. Merging under either of the two isn't really an option.
- Surely, the entry could be improved, more sources added etc. But that's not what is discussed here, is it?
- Perhaps, it could be made a list, with links from the MCT and BES entries. Hhbruun (talk) 11:13, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Comment: Tough one, because this does seem to be a noteworthy award, but I'm having a hard time finding sources that are independent of the award or the Marsh Charitable Trust. Best I could do is this: [1]. This seems like it would be an endemic problem for awards in certain disciplines that don't attract much media attention, much like the recent debate over whether academic journals can be considered notable by being indexed.

- Delete This award is clearly not comparable in notability to a Nobel prize. The Nobel prizes receive extremely wide, independent press coverage around the globe every year. Winners of Marsh Ecology Award get a press release about it from their employer or institution, and that's about it. The sole independent coverage I could find, after looking for quite a while, is a directory entry in Gale's Awards, honors & prizes. This doesn't cut it for WP:GNG.

- The news coverage is not all interview-based. Though most of the media is Seattle based, Seattle is a major metropolitan city and the outlets, such as The Seattle Times, The Stranger, and KUOW, have reader/listenership well outside the metro area. KUOW (cited twice), for example, has broadcast continually since 1952 across the entire Puget Sound region. I've added two new citations from non-Seattle sources--from Kitsap and Pierce counties, respectively. One of the original sources I added is arguably international, since it is a news agency that started in Nairobi, Kenya in 1995 and serves an international readership of the Somali diaspora population. 1Tytonidae1 (talk) 21:56, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

This is a very poorly referenced article (many if not most of the sources are unreliable - homepages, fanpages, UFO fan sites, etc.).

- Meh... It's a very bad article but a very good topic for an article -- Like the Twilight Zone, Star Trek (1966), and Star Wars, the show was famous for recycling prior works. The article should aspire to be Star Wars sources and analogues, and RSes exist to get it there. The WP:TNT sentiment is understandable, but throwing out the existing 'codebase' and starting from scratch is rarely the best course of action. It's a good topic, we should have an article on that topic. Feoffer (talk) 13:16, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect and Merge. This information belongs as a section in The X-Files (franchise) article. There is nothing spectacularly unique about the background of the The X-Files. It is just The F.B.I. (TV series) (9 seasons, 1965-74) with a paranormal/horror plot. Examples of other articles with Sources sections: Beowulf#Sources and analogues, Dream of the Rood#Sources and analogues, The Canterbury Tales#Sources, The Squire (Canterbury Tales)#Sources and influences, The Taming of the Shrew#Sources, Excalibur#Connections and analogues etc. Star Wars is different because of President Reagan's usage of the term and subsequently the news media. 5Q5|✉ 11:39, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Draftify the article is notable and there is a possibility to have an article on this subject. However the article is in a poor state and so I think that it should be moved to the draftspace until it has been sufficiently improved. GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 19:21, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - The fictional and historical elements that inspired and influenced the X-Files is already covered at The X-Files#Production, which contains the same information that is present here, only its actually being supported by reliable sources over there. Much of the information here is either unsourced, or based on unreliable fansites, so there is nothing that should be merged over. I am not seeing any reason for the topic to actually be split out into a separate article when, again, it is already adequately covered at the main article on the series.

"(2014) SAEM Young Investigator Award, Society for Academic Emergency Medicine;[4]" I couldn't find this on the SAEM site. It is possible that the site doesn't go back that far, but in any case I cannot consider this a major award. Looking at other sources, none are of the 3-rd party type that we prefer.

Contested AFC submission of biography of violinist who does not appear to satisfy musical notability. A draft was submitted twice and declined twice, so then this article, which appears to be identical to the declined drafts, was copied into article space. (This is not a copy-paste because there is only one author.) The article (like the draft) has been reference-bombed, so a source analysis has not been performed, at least not now. The peacock language is strongly suggestive of conflict of interest. If the originator wants to establish notability, they can specify which three sources should be evaluated. I have spot-checked the sourced, and they are largely primary, such as mentions of his performance in concerts (and playing in concerts is what violinists do). There is already a (declined) draft, so if the article does not establish musical notability or general notability, and it does not, it should be deleted.

- Keep. Passes criteria 9 of WP:MUSICBIO as the first place winner of an international violin competition. This is a significant enough competition that there are certainly press articles in Japanese on this violinist that have not been included here. Additionally, there is enough secondary significant coverage in Iranian press already cited in the article to pass WP:GNG. While I agree with many of the copy editing criticisms made by the nominator, I don't think there is a strong argument to be made that the subject is not notable under both SNG and GNG guidelines. The issues with the article can be solved by editing in main space.4meter4 (talk) 15:56, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:00, 9 October 2023 (UTC)- Keep. I am an older Iranian user and also contribute to the English Wikipedia. I've reviewed the article about this individual and can confirm that he is recognized in Iran. He is the official winner of an international competition. However, due to the inadequacies in the article's content, many believe he isn't well-known. The article should be retained, as he is a prominent violinist in Iran, and his music is frequently played on all Iranian television channels. Please don't consider deletion based on misinformation. I kindly suggest that the administrators research this individual's name on Google, or using his Farsi name, for clarity. I recommend retaining the article and asking the original author to address the minor issues.

The result was delete. This is unsourced and sources arguably do not exist. I don't see how we can maintain an article that is not OR in these circumstances. On that basis I would accept the argument that V takes precedence over the SNG.
We have been here many times before and when faced with a core policy indicating deletion against an SNG supporting inclusion the answer is always to revisit the the SNG. On that basis the policy based argument is that this is an unsourced article that cannot be sourced. Spartaz Humbug! 05:39, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

- Delete This seems like one that needs a long explanation. @Ritchie333:'s rationale seems to be solid. The WP:GEOROAD automatic notability covers
Road networks: International road networks (such as the International E-road network), Interstate, national, state and provincial highways
- but this does not appear to one of those: our article describes it as aa short metropolitan route
and Metropolitan Routes in Durban describes it asintra-city
. In this case it appears our guide allows this article to be kept if there ismultiple published secondary sources which contain significant coverage and are reliable and independent of the subject.
. My WP:BEFORE has shown me that there is none to be found Even Google maps does not seem to recognize the road as significant. Ping me if anyone can come up with RS and I will change my ivote. Lightburst (talk) 15:17, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Metropolitan route networks predate the current municipal framework in South Africa, and were designed as intercity route networks. The fact that the municipal boundaries were expanded doesn’t change this fact (and in the cases of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni they still do cross modern municipal boundaries). So they are not, strictly “intra-city” as these municipalities are enornmous and polycentric made up of separate cities and towns (I vaguely recall that the there was a political idea mooted to abolish provinces and replace them with municipalities which are a more valid second-tier government structure). So these routes are provincial in nature. Park3r (talk) 23:58, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Most of the other keeps here come from the belief that this intra-city route has automatic notability based on our guideline, but I believe that it does not.

- Keep or Merge (Amended. Daranios (talk) 09:59, 11 October 2023 (UTC)) I am agreeing with SMcCandlish, and there is at least a limited amount of treatment in secondary sources: Game Design Deep Dive, Building Blocks of Tabletop Game Design, How to play Magic: the Gathering – A beginner’s guide. And more on individual keywords, as indicated by Jclemens in the last deletion discussion. Daranios (talk) 15:13, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- All those sources establish, IMO, is that the evergreen keywords should be listed at Magic: The Gathering rules (and, now that I think about it, oddly aren't). The sort of source that could convince me this list deserves to exist is something like this from Dicebreaker (but one source can't by itself support an article), not brief discussions of the concept of keywords, or lists or just the evergreen ones.

- keep sources meet the GNG. Yes, there is a potential merge target, but to merge even a fraction of this would be a WP:WEIGHT issue. Yes, it's geeky. Yes, it thinks about being a WP:GAMEGUIDE issue, but it's not. It lists rules (most of which have independent, reliable sources). Many of this keywords themselves meet the GNG. Yes, it feels somehow less important, than say our numerous articles on chess. But it meets our guidelines and is frankly a reasonable breakout article.

- Keep. Sutton is notable for his radio program The Tour Bus, which was in syndication in several markets and lasted from 1999 to 2017, and which isn't currently covered in the article that was started for him; I've found several articles about the show. I've been (albeit slowly) piecing together a better article in my sandbox.
- Some sources I've found about The Tour Bus include the following articles found via newspapers.com: Asbury Park Press, The Herald-News, the New Jersey Daily Record, The Courier-News, and this article from the Star-Gazette that focuses on his appearance on an episode of Queer Eye in its first season.
- As for his work in podcasting, he was featured in articles from Entrepreneur magazine, and Vice, plus there are bits and pieces I've found about him in articles about comedians Tim Dillon, Shane Gillis and Big Jay Oakerson.
- Hopefully that will suffice to keep the article from being deleted. Marchije•speak/peek 13:30, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- I initially thought the same, and on its face the references available online appear to show notability. However, when you dig deeper you will see the Entrepreneur source is an interview where he gives advice about how to start a podcast (not significant coverage of him) and the Vice article is discussing the GaS company he started and doesn't go into depth about him. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:56, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- True, the Entrepreneur article doesn't go into depth about him personally, but the fact a magazine devoted to entrepreneurs chose to speak with him about the podcasting business does at least lend some credibility to the fact that his knowledge and experience in that sphere is notable. Regardless, his radio career was covered a fair bit, and some of the newspaper articles about his radio show do go into him in some depth, particularly the Daily Record article. Marchije•speak/peek 01:09, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- The Star Gazette is the only reference that would even come close to being significant so I would not say that his radio career was "covered a fair bit." Everything else is just a mention of his name along with the show and notability is not inherent. I realize that Entrepreneur decided to reach out to him and while it may show that he is a credible source for them, saying he is notable because they decided to reach out is original thought. Notability is about what is said about the subject in the sources, not the fact a source reached out to someone for information.--CNMall41 (talk) 04:21, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- I hear you. I agree with your statement that "Notability is about what is said about the subject in the sources, not the fact a source reached out to someone for information," which is why I couched my statement with "it does at least lend some credibility..." Although, I had hoped that coverage in seven different third-party sources might fall under WP:BASIC, which states that "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." I tend to be more of an inclusionist. My edits on Wikipedia, by and large, come from trying to improve poorly sourced articles, or at times rescuing articles flagged for deletion. I had hoped to do that with the Ralph Sutton article, but I'll wait and see how this AfD pans out. Marchije•speak/peek 12:44, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Mostly quotes, based on a single secondary source (Kelly's Kant's Philosophy as Rectified by Schopenhauer). Used to be even more essay-like than now, but still seems so.

- SUPPORT DELETION: Aside from being about 85% direct quotes, I do not believe this article meets Wikipedia's threshold eligibility requirements. Its only secondary source is a book from 1909 by an author who does not have a PhD. If there is anything important here that is not included at Critique_of_the_Kantian_philosophy#Schemata, it could be added as a bullet to that outline/article. The argument, however, already seems to be covered there just as well in much less space (albeit with zero supporting citations of any kind). Cheers, Patrick J. Welsh (talk) 17:01, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - Appears to be a WP:POVFORK from Critique of the Kantian philosophy, and there is simply no way that I can come up with an excuse to pass WP:GNG 1 or 2 on this one. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:47, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
- Merge/redirect into Critique of the Kantian philosophy as an alternative to deletion.

- Thanks for your input @Duckmather. I'm not particularly experienced with redirects, is this really a plausible search term? I suppose obscure redirects wouldn't generally do much harm anyway. If I may ask, what content would you want to potentially merge into Critique of the Kantian philosophy?. That article has a bunch of issues, and content from this page being pasted there would not improve it, as far as I can see. It's mainly a mix of OR and lengthy quotations.

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a model, not reliably sourced as passing inclusion criteria for models. The only obvious attempt at a notability claim here is that she exists, with absolutely no documented evidence of the kind of noteworthy achievements that it takes to bridge the gap between existence and notability -- the content is primarily biographical trivia of the "hobbies and favourite travel destinations" variety rather than substantive analysis of her career, and it's referenced entirely to primary sources and blogs rather than WP:GNG-building coverage about her in real media.
Absolutely nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have a lot more coverage in reliable sources than this. Bearcat (talk) 14:56, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

This is an incendiary article title, insinuating that sexism in the London Metropolitan Police force is baked in as part of the institution, but the examples and citations cover only the last few years.

- Keep - Comment: The material in this article, along with the material in Institutional racism in the Metropolitan Police, was previously in a section Controversies in the main Metropolitan Police article. This section had become unwieldy, and from a practical point of view, the split was an improvement. There were no comments that the material in the Controversies section was biased. The only possible criticism that I can see which might be applicable to this article is the title – so instead of nominating these 2 articles for deletion, it would be better to suggest different titles. Sweet6970 (talk) 16:49, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Work better as standalone articles than a jampacked "Controversies" section, which effectively they still are, since neither article has any incoming mainspace links excepting from Metropolitan Police. They don't even link each other. I struggle to think of an equally concise, less strident title that doesn't alter the scope of the articles. The material is framed from a non-neutral basis, which makes sense given its origin and scope, but it's presented in a neutral enough manner, and is sourced appropriately.

- Keep. This article is a great example of how a subject's notability can change over the years. The article was previously deleted in 2010 after an AfD, with that deleted article being a prime example of Wikipedia:Too soon. However, today Szilvia Molnar is absolutely notable. This author has not just had reviews in many of the biggest publications in the world such as the New York Times and The Atlantic, but these are also extremely in-depth featured reviews. The article lists several of the biggest reviews but there are also reviews in Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, and dozens of other reliable media outlets. Add into this all the other media coverage I'm seeing and Molnar meets our notability guidelines per WP:Author. As a side note, I've added new information and citations to the article.--SouthernNights (talk) 20:12, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
- I would agree that her book is notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Below is an outline of each source cited in the article:
- [29] - review of her book.
- [30] - self-sourced.
- [31] - interview in "Luna Magazine".
- [32] - review of her book.
- [33] - review of her book.
- [34] - two-sentence long description in "Guernica" magazine of Molnar's works, with one of the sentences describing where she lives.
- [35] - review of her book in "Bomb" magazine.
- [36] - interview in "the 19th" magazine. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:22, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

- --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 04:36, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- Per WP:Author, a creative person is notable for multiple criteria including if "The person's work (or works) has ... (c) won significant critical attention." Notice that criteria says "work (or works)" meaning a single work can prove notability. While it's unusual for an author to become notable for a single book, it does happen and Szilvia Molnar's first novel is one of those examples, winning massive acclaim and notice for Molnar. SouthernNights (talk) 11:41, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. The novel is clearly notable. I had previously held that authors must have two reviewed books to count under WP:AUTHOR (apart from cases like Harper Lee), but SouthernNights is making me doubt my interpretation.

Comment: The subject may not meet the notability criteria outlined in WP:NPOL, but it's evident that he qualifies under WP:GNG due to substantial coverage in national media. Notably, a prominent national newspaper, Hindustan Times, even using his surname in a headline, further establishing his notability and significance in public discourse. The HT reference is just one example, there is good and enough coverage that covers subject under WP:GNG. Also the past AfD is one year old.❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 04:18, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

This album article, in its current state, does not meet any of the musical notability criteria. This is a contested draftification, in that the history shows that it was created in article space, moved to draft space, and created again in article space. There is only one source, which is Allmusic, which should be used with caution, but which is not secondary coverage and so does not establish notability.

- Comment: If the the album was released in 1966 and does not pass notability now and it was not re-released, why draftify? How is it ever gonna make the news?
The artist has passed, I don't think there would be a tribute to this 1966 work. dxneo (talk) 08:35, 12 October 2023 (UTC)- If it was notable at its time, it's notable now, we just need to find the sources. Many may only be on paper or microfiche. Rick Nelson made famous transition from rock to country, and this was his first country album, so it's pretty likely that it's notable, draftifying gives time to unearth sources. —siroχo 16:03, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Lots of awards but after substantial googling all pretty unimportant. I'm still not 100% sure what a Peetadhipathi is because it's never actually defined on the page the word redirects to, but from the best I can work out it's essentially the leader of a temple. It looks like there's been some serious OR going on here, pretty much every page linked to on this page has 0 reliable citations.
The page for his organisation claims without source to have been created in the 15th century, but is itself a congregation of an occult religion of which the much better sourced article says it was founded in the US in the 19th century?

Article created last year in violation of WP:SPORTBASIC, prong 4, providing that: "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources." Here, the article is based solely on databases and lacks any SIGCOV. Article also fails WP:GNG as my searches turned up zero SIGCOV.

- We are in agreement on redirecting. If you can find some SIGCOV, a stand-alone article might be acceptable. Cbl62 (talk) 02:46, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
- Honestly couldn’t even prove to you this guy was even real other than the fact that the NFL says he was and that there is a gravestone with his name on it in Baltimore. From what limited access I have from newspapers.com I couldn’t even find as much as an obituary page, not to mention a full-blown article. Thetreesarespeakingtome (talk) 03:12, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
- FWIW, I have full access to Newspapers.com, did a search, and came up empty. Cbl62 (talk) 14:53, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

- Obit here - looking up "Pong Unitas" gives a mere one mention of him in a game preview (which says he's from Iowa?) - I'd bet there's a name he's better known by... BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:09, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- The first is a paid death notice rather than an independent obituary. The second is a simple roster listing. Neither of them counts toward GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 22:20, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- I know that - that's why I haven't voted "keep". BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:25, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of Washington Senators (NFL) players as of now. I'm more than happy to change my !vote if SIGCOV is found. On a sidenote, I'm don't know if he is related to Johnny Unitas but in Johnny's article it says
his surname was a result of a phonetic transliteration of a common Lithuanian last name Jonaitis
. Alvaldi (talk) 08:36, 14 October 2023 (UTC)- I did take a crack at finding some sources on Newspapers.com and Proquest but other than the above mentioned sources, the best I could find are mentions of a player with the second name Unitas playing for the Washington Professionals in 1921. Alvaldi (talk) 09:01, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
- The Washington Professionals player is the same guy - the team (per our article) was also known as the "Washington Pros" in its one year in the NFL. BeanieFan11 (talk) 13:03, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

I think it fails WP:GNG, I was unable to find SIGCOV from multiple reliable sources to justify notability, doesn't seem to have significant achievements as well. Tehonk (talk) 01:03, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Liz Read! Talk! 06:18, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Appeared on a reality show, acted in a few films, but nothing big and has a few mentions in Nigerian publications but nothing that meets RS or GNG. Doesn't meet notability. Nswix (talk) 00:42, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
