WP:BLP of a writer, with only minor claims of notability and only primary sources to support them. This leans heavily on her being nominated for mostly non-notable literary awards that don't constitute automatic notability freebies -- and while there is one award here that is notable enough to be a valid notability claim for a writer, that's still not an instant free notability pass that exempts her from actually having to have any WP:GNG-worthy coverage in reliable sources: the notability test for writers is not the things the article says, but the depth and quality of the referencing that the article uses to support the things it says. But the only references here are her self-written biographical blurbs on the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations and events, not reliable or independent or notability-supporting media coverage. None of these sources cut it as evidence of notability, and the article claims nothing about her that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sources from having to cut it as evidence of notability.

  • Keep The organisation has attracted national level coverage in mainstream media over a five year period. Mccapra (talk) 22:25, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect. Keep the title. But summarise and merge the content to sit as a section of Roscommon University Hospital. And redirect the title there. I suggest this because, per WP:MERGEREASON, there will likely always be significant overlap between this organisation and the hospital with which it is associated. And, similarly, there will be duplication of content between the two (as we already have). And/or a requirement for readers to visit both articles to gain the necessary context. These (overlap/content/context) represent three of the four merge reasons. Any one of which might suggest a merge on its own. Summarisation is also likely required because of the overly "newsy" nature of the content in the organisation's article. (We seem to have represented every news headline associated with the organisation as a line in the article. When, perhaps, this is overkill, and each of the protests, some of which were years ago and a few days apart could be covered in one line). Otherwise I would note that there are hospital action groups associated with any number of hospitals. 6 or 7 in Ireland alone that I can think of. And hundreds if not thousands worldwide. These organisations occasionally each receive some coverage. But their notability (and that coverage) doesn't really stand independent of the associated hospital. And so I don't see that such groups (like this one) are notable enough for their own independent articles... Anyway, merge and redirect would seem the most appropriate action to me.

No credible sign of notability. That problem aside. . . .
Let me quote the version of 3 February 2019, at 01:37 (and therefore before deletion at AfD):
Christopher C. Lee was born to Taiwanese parents, Jeff Lee and Ai-Ling Tracy Chuang, in San Jose, California. His parents immigrated to California from Taipei, Taiwan and lived in Fremont during his childhood.
He began to develop an interest in various forms of artistry and was heavily involved in street art and hip hop. He immersed himself into streetwear, graffiti and urban culture through exposure to underground artist exhibitions and fashion shows. He conversed with Haight Street, San Francisco artists and designers to gain more knowledge. Growing up in his teenage years, he was known for being a polymath. He excelled in many topics such as physics, mathematics, philosophy, dance, fashion design, computer science, photography, cinematography, business and marketing.
By contrast (or not), here's the current version:

Therefore yes, this qualifies for deletion as an improper re-creation or as a creation by a blocked user.

Comment Adding these two sources is the same edit that has been persistently added to the article by numerous IPs over the past few days. Neihter help with notability. The first source is a Yahoo republication of an AccessWire press release, so not RS. The Forbes source is one sentence: "Photomochi, founded by Christopher C. Lee, is one such agency that deals with the impact of how visual media today can quickly and succinctly capture an entire message within a single frame or a short film." This editor has a lot of similar interests as the other IP editors adding the same material to the page.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:33, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The only sources documenting the Interaction Styles scheme itself appear to originate with Linda V. Berens or the Temperament Research Institute. Would need citations to reliable third-party sources to demonstrate notability.

  • Delete this article looks as if it exists to promoted the author's work. It also contains a large amount of original academic-style research. A search for sources leads mostly to the Berens web site. (n.b. There is also a conflicting concept in the field of computer programming that deals with how people interact with computers. There are many more sources for that than there are for this model.) I would have to say GNG fail. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:26, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated per the suggestion of participants in the Zelda enemies AfD. The list fails WP:LISTN since it has a distinct lack of secondary sources to establish notability. It is Wikia level material that does not fit Wikipedia's current standards.

  • Delete but Merge relevant content to - most likely - Mushroom Kingdom. Referencing the Zelda enemy AFD, we had Universe_of_The_Legend_of_Zelda#Creatures that would be an appropriate replacement for a list. I don't see a "Universe" article for Mario, but Mushroom Kingdom sufficiently covers it (and yes, I know there are some games that don't take place in it proper, but we're not Wikia, that's a trivial issue). That allows keeping brief one-two lines about various enemies, keep blue links to the notable ones, but cuts out the weight of in-universe descriptions. That type of list can then at least to be sourced to strategy guides or the like. --Masem (t) 17:05, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep My opinion has not changed since the same nominator put the same article up for deletion a couple of weeks ago. I'm not clear what it is about this article that the nominator thinks can't be verified. The place clearly exists and the sources referenced seem to be adequate to cover what the article contains. If there is some residual uncertainty about specific points this can be covered by adding a citation tag and there is no need at all to delete the entire thing. Mccapra (talk) 15:57, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep If we're not at WP:SKCRIT #2, we're close, since this was closed as keep very recently and nothing has changed. This is verifiable with an easy web search, though whether it's a neighborhood or a separate city is unclear and probably best searched in Farsi. SportingFlyer T·C 17:48, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Even the nominator agreed that the subject is notable in the prior AFD. The sources that I can read don't provide much in the way of detail (okay, hardly any at all), but they do establish that it exists and is populated, which is really all you need for WP:GEOLAND. If any of the content is unsourced and unverifiable, remove it, but the article itself should stay. CThomas3 (talk) 03:46, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per recent first AFD. --Doncram (talk) 06:52, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Snow keep without even assessing the article or sources, on the basis that I shouldn't have to: the article was nominated by the same user less than a month ago, and was kept. Re-nominating it in such a short space of time without any new justification is borderline disruptive, although I'm going to assume it's a genuine misunderstanding of process rather than deliberate. Hugsyrup (talk) 12:55, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think Mehrshahr is notable because there are enough secondary sources available in Persian for this subject. فرهنگ2016 (talk) 14:45, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Theinstantmatrix: I've gathered several sources below if you would like to look at them below and potentially reevaluate your vote. There are more than that, such as Rappler and The Next Web, but I kept it to 10 in my comment. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 21:09, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Those are reliable, but not significant. It's a case of WP:TOOSOON.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 01:02, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They're clearly, unequivocally significant per WP:GNG; literally every single one of those articles features yuzu as its main subject, and that's just what I found through 6 minutes of searching online. This emulator has received significant coverage in a number of articles from several reliable, independent sources since its creation, and as Dream Focus aptly notes, WP:TOOSOON makes absolutely no sense here. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 02:40, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Significant" does not mean that a prominent site mentioned it. That's a reliable source, but a decent amount has to be written on the subject that goes beyond just mentioning it and what it does. I'm not seeing that. Also, Dream Focus votes Keep on almost everything regardless of merit, so I wouldn't take his word as gospel with regards to policy and you should read it yourself.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:52, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What's with this personal insult? I clicked upon all the links posted and saw significant coverage. This isn't just announcements about it, but also mentions of when they made the bestselling game on the Switch run perfectly on it, etc. So over a period of time it still gets mentioned. Significant is context not just the number of words. Dream Focus 11:51, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's true that significance is not 100% guaranteed to be based on wordcount, but it almost always is. Usually very short articles don't indicate significant coverage, because significant coverage spends a long time talking about the subject and going in-depth.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:05, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"and you should read [the policy] yourself" I already had when I agreed with Dream Focus, so I don't understand your baseless assumption that I hadn't. Moreover, I'm aware that Dream Focus is an inclusionist (I should note that I'm usually not); that doesn't in any way detract from the merit of their argument. I'm just going to get this out of the way so I can stop arguing against these erroneous, red herring definitions of 'significant': ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." And like that, we have at least 10 different articles from reliable, independent sources featuring this emulator as their primary (and, for most of them, only) subject; regardless of their shorter-than-average length, each of them clearly exceeds a 'trivial mention' and constitutes significant coverage. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 13:36, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Significant" mean more then a couple of paragraphs that say "this is coming soon".Slatersteven (talk) 09:25, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how many of those articles you actually read or even clicked on, but half of the 10 I presented cover progress being made on the emulator. Moreover, the other five are still significant coverage of the then-upcoming emulator; that it was in its infancy doesn't somehow render its coverage insignificant. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 13:36, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
wp:crystal may also come into this. Do you have anything that indicates it is notable now?Slatersteven (talk) 18:16, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a crystal ball situation since as I have said, some of the sources given are after it was developed, it getting coverage for being able to run Super Mario Odyssey. Dream Focus 19:23, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Then there is a serious problem with our article, as it does not give any release date and implies it is in fact still largely in development. Its website however does not imply it "yuzu is an experimental open-source".Slatersteven (talk) 19:34, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is still in development (which the website explains had you read into the second paragraph: "[...] with builds actively maintained [...]"). WP:CRYSTAL – as Dream Focus once again aptly points out – in absolutely no way applies here as you speciously assert, because not a single word of the existing article is making any sort of speculation on yuzu's development, and the subject's coverage at this point extends beyond just an announcement of its development's commencement. Please actually read the policies you're citing. "Do you have anything that indicates it is notable now?" Not only do you seem to have a tenuous grasp on what constitutes "significant coverage" and what WP:CRYSTAL is, but you also seem to fail to realize that notability is not temporary, making the question "is it notable now?" entirely irrelevant (if not completely nonsensical) in the context of Wikipedia's notability policy. Moreover, the article clearly meets WP:SUSTAINED as demonstrated by the sources above. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 20:50, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is no deadline on how soon is too soon. Only that it has to be enough to get significant coverage. Significant as in: something more than "oh hey, this exists, check it out" which those articles are.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:50, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Too soon" is just an essay, not a guideline or policy. And it has ample coverage now Dream Focus 19:24, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep but heavily rework the article to be at the very least longer than a stub, otherwise Move to draftspace. TheTechnician27 has provided plenty of reliable sources proving and establishing notability but the article itself does not reflect this, since right now it's basically just "this thing exists". --letcreate123 (talk) 16:46, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete due to lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Woodroar (talk) 02:24, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Yuzu was the first emulator and is the one currently furthest along in development. Usually an emulator remains obscure until it can run full games not available on any other platform. The emulator is just now at that stage and actively being developed, I think the article right on time, not too soon. Lunamoff (talk) 04:04, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Yuzu can run Super Mario Odyssey, so that is notable. It is not perfectly running though. --Frmorrison (talk) 22:24, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep why delete it? Yuzu already exists, you can downlad a stable version of it (not alpha or beta), and it is not vaporware, its not something like 6G wireless networks, that article was deleted because we don't know if 6G is going to be a thing, specially if 5g succeeds on its mission, unlike 4g. Pancho507 (talk) 02:51, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, Yuzu has sufficient RS and stable version, really Dream Focus's comment are noteworthy for a keep vote. Meeanaya (talk) 07:32, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think that there is enough significant coverage in reliable sources, but I think the article should be expanded and reworked to make it longer than a stub. Taewangkorea (talk) 11:37, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, but not strongly. I can also see a case for a redirect to Noordin Mohammad Top because most coverage of the group appears principally to be of him. Reliable sources nonetheless tell us a fair bit about the group, and enough to get the article out of stub territory. This links it to the 2009 Jakarta bombings. This source makes the same link and then has details about the end of the group in February 2010. There is also a BBC article with a fair bit of detail from the time of the group's formation: [26]. This has details of the group's leadership after Top's death. As does this, which appears to be a reliable source. So I think there is enough. --Mkativerata (talk) 08:42, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

      Can You Say "Yeehaw"?

      Boulder

      John Georgis isn't exactly sure why people started hollering "It's Banjo Billy!" at the top of their lungs every time they spotted his Boulder tour bus. After all, they don't yell "Hey, it's a taxi!" when a cab drives by or "Look, there's a limousine!" when a long black car with tinted windows whizzes by. But loudly acknowledging Banjo Billy's bus has become a Boulder tradition, one that Georgis's customers, twenty-eight when the tours are sold out, are required to answer with a hearty "Yeehaw!" One customer on each of the twice-daily tours even gets a megaphone and a job as "designated heckler."

      But that's just part of the fun of Banjo Billy's Bus Tour, a wacky ninety-minute ride that takes tourists past Boulder's most infamous and little-known hot spots. Guests on the Banjo Billy bus—a refitted 1994 school bus that Georgis bought off eBay and drove to Boulder from Moline, Illinois, after offering to pick up every hitchhiker along the way—have a wide choice of seats. They can choose between several colors of Lazy-Boys, one of six saddles, or the comfy, over-stuffed couch in the back. Although Georgis's dream of turning the bus into a roving log cabin didn't quite pan out (the logs were too heavy to attach to the side of the bus), he was able to add a bunch of faux log fencing (it's lighter weight and scads cheaper), cut off the original roof, and weld a pitched roof that can be removed whenever the weather cooperates. Needless to say, he also added thirteen disco balls and a horn that "moos" like a cow.

      Although the nine stops are the same (each guest, for example, hears about the false Boulder gold rush, a haunted hotel with three suicides and only one suicide note, and the obsessive forty-six-year-old Eagle Scout [see the "Man in Uniform" entry that follows] whose merit badge sash mysteriously shows up all over town), each tour is different. Sometimes incredibly different, like the time Georgis's tour included twelve drunk schoolteachers, a prim and proper elderly couple, and a Muslim family of six. But that's another story.

      I SIGN UP FOR A GUIDED CITY TOUR on day two. Banjo Billy’s Bus Tour showcases (screams, actually) Boulder’s offbeat personality. It’s an 80-minute stand-up routine/tour/historical lesson enjoyed from the seats (take your pick between a saddle or recliner) of a 1994 yellow schoolbus reincarnated as an eccentric shack-on-wheels. Cruising around Boulder, “Banjo Billy” alternates historical accounts of Boulder’s earliest inhabitants and notable buildings with ghost stories and grisly true-crime tales. I spend my last night in Boulder at The Bradley, on Pearl’s east end. It masterfully combines the homey feel of a mountain bed-and-breakfast with the upscale style and privacy of an urban boutique inn.

      Macky’s mystery is one of several stories that enticed John Georgis to launch Banjo Billy’s Bus Tours. The company offers tours that include ghost stories of Denver and Boulder year round and expanded ghost tours in October.

      Georgis took dozens of tours around the world as research before starting the company and found that people worldwide were intrigued by dark history and stories of the paranormal.

      “We like to know that what we see is not what we get,” Georgis said. “There’s a core group that’s saying ‘life is not finite,’ and these stories give us some hope that when we die there’s something more.”

      The story of Boulder’s only lynching victim makes up one of Georgis’ favorite stories on the October tours.

      As a Boulder native, I just had to check out the hillbilly bus that’s been driving around Boulder all summer, offering tours of my hometown.

      So on a recent Saturday, I put John Georgis, owner of Banjo Billy’s Bus Tours, to a test: Could he really tell me things I don’t know about a town I’ve lived in for 22 years – and could he successfully entertain me on a Saturday morning after a night of drinking?

      ...

      Before the tour begins, Georgis tells me how his company came into existence. He says it began on a whim when, after traveling through Europe and going on bus tours to meet fellow Americans, he realized that Boulder could use a tour like that.

      ...

      Georgis decided to create a more entertaining version of the bus tours he took in Europe, and bought a used 1996 school bus off eBay for $6,000 in February. He purchased a one-way ticket to Moline, Ill., to pick up the bus. Georgis says that’s when reality of his decision sunk in.

You can hear their stories, and possibly even meet them, with the coolest and quirkiest tour guide this side of the afterlife, Banjo Billy.

      “You get to learn a little history, and you hear some good ghost stories,” says John Georgis, aka Banjo Billy.

      In 2005, Georgis built a bus resembling a shack on wheels and started giving historical driving tours of Boulder. He let his passengers pick what types of stories they wanted to hear, and the most requested tales were ghost stories.

      So every October, Georgis runs Banjo Billy’s Ghosts of Boulder, a two-hour tour of 13 of the city’s most notorious haunted locales, including stops at the Boulder Theater, Macky Auditorium and the Hotel Boulderado.

      The ghost tour has become so popular that this year Banjo Billy started a second tour in Denver, which goes to places like Cheesman Park and the Grant-Humphreys Mansion.

He describes his bus as “a shack on wheels,” fashioned with saddles, couches, recliners, disco balls, a sound system, and a rubber chicken.

But the third year got much easier, everyone we hired was over 40, and their maturity really helped — 2007 was great, we expanded to Denver 2008, that was difficult, but not as hard as 2006, and in 2010 it blew up.

      Overall, the experience is less Pirates of the Caribbean than Beverly Hillbillies. As we ride through Boulder's affluent downtown streets, Banjo Billy's remodeled school bus attracts plenty of stares. And what's better than cruising in a log cabin on wheels that occasionally makes barnyard sounds at pedestrians?

      One common question on the tour has to do with Georgis himself. How did he get the name Banjo Billy? In 2005, he quit his job as a data analyst and bought a school bus on eBay. Then he remodeled it, raising the roof and removing the windows.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Banjo Billy's Bus Tours to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • Keep per sources brought to light by E.M. Gregory. The editors who argue delete appear to believe that notability depends on the whims of one particular day's incidental Google search within the past X number of years, or that we're here to be a popularity contest instead of a collaborative information resource. At any rate, the excuse "I couldn't find any sources" offered by both was shown for what it really is by E.M. Gregory. While I don't have time right now to examine all the sources, the ones I saw indicate that he's been cited as an expert on energy policy for nearly half a century.

  • Keep. It's unfortunate the only detailed personal biography appears to be his own website, but I have to agree with RadioKAOS here: the source searches don't seem to have been very careful. This book on Alaskan politics (published by an imprint of University of Nebraska Press) describes Fineberg as "one of Alaska's most diligent oil industry watchdogs". This publication by Congress confirms that he has worked as a senior state and federal government advisor in various capacities. I can find half a dozen instances where he's been cited as an authority in Congress just from a cursory search—in fact the earliest citations go back to his PhD work in 1968 (p. 1442). That seems like a very long record of wide citation as an authority. @MaskedSinger: "It's been here for 12 years and it's still bad" is explicitly not a valid argument for deletion; see WP:NOEFFORT. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 14:02, 15 July 2019 (UTC) — Further research turns up an article about him in The Province from 2009, so that makes at least two independent bios (this article and the Congress one). —Nizolan (talk · c.) 14:32, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @MaskedSinger: I am not claiming to be an expert and I am not claiming NOEFFORT is a policy; I am just pointing you to an essay that explains why it is an invalid argument.

  • Delete - Renominating because the subject is only notably sourced for his relation to Wikileaks and through his father Israel Shamir, both of which have their own page. There are no independent indications of notability in terms of sources, outside the Wikileaks controversy and his relation to his father. The latter two are covered in their own articles, and it seems content forking to use them for a separate article. Otherwise, there is no indication of independent notability, relevant to his actual work. The article itself relies on archives of non-notable sources, except one English article mentioning him in relation to the Wikileaks controversy, and that is through the link to his father and to Wikileaks (both of whom have own article that can cover this issue).

Comment - Reminds me of the guy from the girl with the Dragon Tattoo! MaskedSinger (talk) 17:17, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • MERGE to his father Israel Shamir. As Nom states, there's not much here. The argument for keeping, such as it is, is that he was dumped by a leftist Swedish newspaper after making up quotes to support a racist conspiracy theory article, and that he was willing to bear false witness in support of his boss Julian Assange, making slanderous accusations against two women who accused Assange of rape. I have improved the page somewhat, he has fans (among conspiracy theory fans, I suppose) but I see no evidence evidence of the kind of accomplishment that meets WP:JOURNALIST. Merge with his Dad, with whom he shares his Jew-hatred, use of fake quotations and fake facts, and boot-licking worship of Julian Assange.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:17, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Length ≠ notability. Especially when, as here, many of the claims to notability, employment history are unsourced. And the well-sourced material is about his having been fired for falsifying quotations in his writing. When a low-level journalist is fired for faking his material, it doesn't make him notable.

The article seems to be self-promotional (pehaps written by the subject) and much of its claims are self-sourced again (i.e. to IMEMC, which is the subject's website).

The result was redirect to Starbomb. Nothing very clear in the way of consensus but what is clear is that there is no significant support for keeping a standalone page.

Mburrell recently made an argument against this notability of this album, stating as follows, "The album's wiki-article citations don't appear to include any news coverage, although it does have chart rankings. [...] Web search found no news coverage of the album. (Multiple independent source requirement to show notability)." They later clarified that this was a general notability guideline (WP:GNG) issue. It was promptly removed from List of 2019 albums. If this album does fail GNG, then surely it is not viable to be an article topic. I've decided to open this up for debate since it not only concerns the future of this article, but also the future of List of 2019 albums and lists similar to it. I have decided to stay neutral in this conversation. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 08:13, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. No coverage? There's this. I'm not sure why it would be removed from a list article while we still have an article on it. Subjects don't have to satisfy the clunky GNG to have articles. The fact that this charted in so many places makes it worth covering. Whether as a standalone article or within the band article should be the question. The chart placings at least need to be in the band article. It shouldn't be at AfD. --Michig (talk) 09:03, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep and comment on prior comment. I am not arguing for the deletion of the article for Starbomb's The Tryforce although I don't think it is well supported. The question for AfD is if the article for the album is non-notable or notable. That is covered under the Wikipedia project for Notability (music), under the paragraph of Recordings WP:NALBUM and the follow-up sub-paragraph of albums. Per the album sub-paragraph, if the album meets the general notability guideline, WP:GNG, it merits a standalone article. Otherwise, per the recordings main paragraph, the album must meet any of 7 criteria. Criteria number 2 is that the album should have appeared on any country's national music chart, which The TryForce has done so. Therefore, using criteria provided by Wikipedia, the article is adequate to be kept even without significant reliable news sources.
Since PhilipTerryGraham mentions the future of List of 2019 albums, I will expand on the criteria for listing albums and why The TryForce is inadequate to be listed there. A criteria should be selected for inclusion of data on lists, specifically for large lists. The list of albums for various years from 2005 to 2019 tend to be large lists, with about five of them on the Wikipedia database for longest articles Wikipedia:Database reports/Articles by size, so in general the lists have been regulated by a criteria for notability, specifically the general notability guideline WP:GNG, which has at it's paragraph header the statement "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." The paragraph then goes on to define the key words in the sentence, such as significant coverage and reliable. Using this criteria, The TryForce fails general notability, and should not be included on the "List of 2019 albums", even if it has an Wikipedia article. There is criteria for keeping articles, and there are criteria for including items on lists, and they are not mutually inclusive. As a side-note, the List of 2017 albums and the List of 2016 albums were subject to a discussion and a mandate to reduce size of the lists, which is one reason strict enforcement of notability requirements was imposed on the other lists in the series
Geek.com mentioned by Michig does not appear to be a news website, looks like a blog or fansite. When I look it up in Wikipedia, Geek.com is described as a technology news weblog. Wikipedia has a project page for listing reliable sources, Wikipedia:Reliable sources, and it is against personal and group blogs, which leaves open to interpretation organized blogs. Mburrell (talk) 00:22, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We have an article on Geek.com. It may have started as an amateur website back in 1996, but since been sold a few times and has been a commercial website for many years, now owned by Ziff Davis and run with a professional staff. It isn't a blog. --Michig (talk) 08:28, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the feedback. I encourage you to go to the Geek.com article and edit it to reflect current information, with supportive citations. For my other comments, one good news source citation still fails the need for signficant coverage (more than one, preferably four or more in my mind. Still, that goes towards my Keep vote for The TryForce album article. Mburrell (talk) 03:20, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. OK, having lots of readers is not a reason to keep an article under notability guidelines. The question of whether GNG is met isn't so clear, as most of the sources are stated to be plot summaries rather than detailed analysis and there is the - somewhat vague - concern about non-independent sources raised. A merger was also discussed, but there does not appear to be a clear consensus either pro ("usual practice for minor characters") or con ("target is too long"). My sense is that while the keep arguments probably out-weigh the delete ones owing to several uncontested sources, the merge/redirect or no case would need a dedicated discussion.

  • I do not think that those two sources alone are enough to establish enough notability for a separate article. The information on her recasting and death scene could easily be sourced and contained within her entry in the list. Further sources would need to be cited to support notability. The character's "distinctive" name is not relevant to the conversation, and page views do not support notability. Aoba47 (talk) 13:53, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(talk) 13:57, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • A unique and distinctive name is not a reason why a character should have a separate article. Neither is page views. It should boil down to is there a significant amount of coverage on the character and I personally do not believe that is not the case. I can only see a limited amount, and it would be more beneficial for you to locate more sources from third-party, reliable sources to support your keep argument.

  • Keep This article has had 165,806 views in the past 90 days. Probably far more popular before the character was killed off. Wikipedia claims to be an encyclopedia, but 99% of the people coming to it just read entertainment articles.

  • Page views is not a part of WP:GNG and not a strong argument to keep an article. I am not arguing against entertainment articles as I only work with those types of articles with my own projects. The "significant coverage" has not been met, as I can currently only see a limited coverage that justifies the character having an entry on the character list and not a separate article.

I saw the same phenomenon with my List of Man'yōshū poets article, which on April 1 had about 50 times as many page views as the previous day despite being only very peripherally related to the announcement of the Reiwa era name. We can assume that all GOT character articles are similarly enjoying high page view counts at the moment for this reason alone (not actually a valid reason to keep the article regardless of the cause) -- it doesn't change the fact that this character's lack of real-world notability means nothing has been, or can be, written about her except in-universe plot information.

The fact of the views will still exist. That you don't like them is just your opinion. Your WP:Crystal Ball argument is without evidence. The timing here was due to the date the AFD was started. Claiming that there was manipulation of data or a conspiracy is unsupportable. And indeed, y8our invoking WP:ANI is aNOTHER hollow threat. And the beat goes on. 7&6=thirteen () 17:33, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The fact of the views will still exist. WP:CRYSTAL. Are you claiming that Myrcella will somehow be resurrected and get her own spinoff? That's the only way I can imagine her article not going the way of all the other GOT articles and leaking viewers over the coming months once the current Internet explosion dies down. And again, page views aren't a valid reason to keep the article, and neither you nor anyone else has addressed the lack of any third-party sources that allow us to discuss this topic in a real-world, non-plot-summary fashion. Hijiri 88 (やや) 00:33, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the comment. I agree that the matter of page views is not really relevant to whether or not the subject is notable enough for its own article. The discussion should be kept entirely on whether or not the subject has received enough coverage from third-party, reliable sources to justify an independent article. I did a before search before nominating the article, and I was uncertain if the sources that I had found were enough to warrant an article outside of the character's entry in the list so I wanted further feedback on it. I will respect whatever the consensus turns out to be, and thank you to everyone for their participation. Aoba47 (talk) 17:17, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I have done a copy-edit to the article, and did two major changes. I removed the "Character description" section completely as it was just repeating plot summary already present in the "Storylines" section. I have also moved the sources from the lead and tried to show what information they represent. I am still uncertain on whether or not these sources are enough to establish notability for a completely separate article as opposed to the list entry. However, I wanted to try and make a more fair representation to anyone interested in participating in the discussion. I will of course respect whatever the consensus is. Aoba47 (talk) 18:14, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Aoba47 It is not appropriate for the nominator of an article to make wholesale changes (References and sections removed) while the AfD is in place. It is a demonstrable COI based on the fact that the nominator has proposed the article for deletion. Other editors are working to improve the article, it is best to let this process continue without making reductions based on your opinion. Lightburst (talk) 18:22, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I edited the article to better integrate the sources into the actual article and represent their information for editors who would like to get involved in this discussion. Before, they were all just clumped together in the lead for no apparent reason. I did not remove any references as you erroneously claim, and I fail to see how it is a conflict of interest when I am genuinely trying to make information clearer for this discussion and editors to form their own opinion on whether or not said information is enough to form notability for a separate article. Aoba47 (talk) 18:59, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the message and the links. I personally believe the links in the article and the ones you have provided above are enough to satisfy WP:GNG. @Victoriaearle: Should I request for the AfD to be withdrawn to the change in my personal opinion or should it be left open until a consensus has been reached has there are several redirect/merge votes? Aoba47 (talk) 20:21, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • My advice would be to just let it run its course. I literally spent five minutes on this, didn't look in the g-news archives where there might be more to be found, so I'd say wait and see what other people come up with and let the closing admin make a determination. Personally I'd oppose a merge to List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters, which is overly long and does seem to lack reliable sourcing. In my view this character, Jaime & Cersei's daughter, who does get quite a lot of ink in the books, has reliable sourcing, is able to stand on its own. Victoria (tk) 20:28, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. We are all fallible. WP:AGF mistakes happen. That's why they put Delete keys on computers.
It is one of the beauties of the WP:Article rescue squad, which mobilizes other sets of eyes, including diverse backgrounds, and their research skills. I know there are detractors, but in my experience the focus is on article improvement, not mobilizing !votes. 7&6=thirteen () 20:52, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of ASoIaF characters - Probably resulting from being a minor character in both the books and TV series, I can't find any independent sources about the character, apart from a ScreenRant article about why Myrcella was recast (and failed to provide an answer) and a few articles about why her death wasn't that violent. This shows to me that the subject of this article does not meet WP:GNG by a long shot. --TedEdwards 17:38, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the character list per above, per usual practice for minor characters. Everything about GoT gets coverage, this doesn't mean we need to become a fan wiki. We still select topics according to theid significance in the real world. Sandstein 05:43, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of notability is provided. The references are all primary research articles coauthored by the technique's inventors Renato Zenobi and Paweł Urban, at least one of whom (or someone close to them) appears to have been involved in coauthoring this article. This article appears to be part of a citation farm or self-promotional circle jerk attempting to establish notability for Paweł Urban. The scientific paper that originally described this technique has been cited only 82 times since it was published in 2010 [38], and Google Scholar is known to be very generous in what it counts as a citation. This is not a highly cited article. There is no evidence (e.g., reliable second-party sources) that this is a notable technique deserving of a Wiki article.
