The web series has a review in the Times of India which goes per point 1 of WP:NFO, but there is no other review made by nationally known critics. Neither of other 4 points of WP:NFO are satisfying. The major references are announcing the release of the web series, which is a part of any film distribution/promotion. No Major Film Awards either.

Comment This doesn't appear to be a film, so I am not sure WP:NFO or WP:NF applies. WP:TVSHOW might be the guidelines it should be judged as to see if notable or not. Donaldd23 (talk) 00:24, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Donaldd23 since it was a one season web series, my initial thought was it may fall under NFILM. Per TVSHOW, it says It is far less likely to be notable if it airs in only one local media market. It also says that this local criteria is subordinate to the RS policy. There are not enough RS for this web series and it has a local target audience so not notable. Dixiku (talk) 22:10, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I will be adding more PR and other staffs so then it will be more eligible.

Delete there is a one news from indiatoday.in but apart from there is nothing else. I don't consider spotboye.com, pinkvilla.com Tellychakkar.com as WP:RS.

Keep Hii @Þjarkur: this quote, specifically, from Rondoni's busts, was mentioned because it was in the possession of the family and was mentioned in the family history in another book. The disposition of the busts for sale can be accessed here and here. In all the books in the bibliography section, they are mentioned selling some object that belongs to the palaces, or that they briefly pass on to the family, so I put this pdf about Domenico's busts, as they report the moment of the sale. I recommend reading here, here, here, here and here, all of these books are for sale on the international amazon.

There is something odd going on with this article. All of the sources that mention him are sponsored coverage. Half of the sources (the latter half) don't exist and have never existed. The reliable sources that are cited (related to him being linked to Da Vinci) do not mention him. He was not nominated for a literary prize, he registered his book for an incentive award list but did not win. He has no plays on Spotify and his most popular song on YouTube has 60,000 views. I can't find a single mention of him in a reliable newspaper. – Thjarkur (talk) 18:56, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Hii @Þjarkur:, I analyzed the problems pointed out and I noticed that some links are broken because they were translated by me. I can fix my mistake and adjust the links, sorry! About the news coming out on paid portals, I don't know about that, I just picked it up on google when I typed his name. There is a credible source who mentions him associated with Da Vinci through the Grupo Record portal here. About Youtube information, you can easily check it here, which counts his channel as having 6,327,126 views, this includes Youtube Music.

Keep i fixed the links problem here. I believe that the article has good coverage by sources, it only had broken links due to my own fault, but I have already fixed the problem, so I believe that the article should be kept.

The article about Jade Jolie does not meet any of the three criteria listed WP:ENT.

Keep. The nomination rationale of "The performer's notability is only relevant in the context of RuPaul's Drag Race (season 5)" is simply not true. Jolie appeared on RPDR in 2013. In 2019, she appeared in Taylor Swift's "You Need to Calm Down" music video, as well as appearing with her at the VMAs. There's coverage for the music video, including standalone articles solely about Jolie from the Courier-Journal here and Fox19 here. There are dozens of articles from 2019 about how John Travolta (and Gigi Hadid) mistook Jolie for Taylor Swift at the VMAs (three of which are currently listed in the article, so I won't belabor that point). There's coverage from other events as well, including: a 2019 piece about a restaurant naming a drink after her here; a 2019 piece about her headlining a show here; a 2020 appearance in AJ and the Queen here; etc. There's ongoing coverage apart from her stint on RPDR over a number of years and events. I think the subject easily passes GNG. --Kbabej (talk) 23:27, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minimally sourced biography of a person notable only for having lived to be 102. To be fair, at the time this was created we did have a rule that reaching the age of 100 was "inherently" notable due to its relative rarity -- but that's long since been deprecated, and centenarians are no longer handed an automatic notability freebie in the absence of a WP:GNG-worthy volume and depth of reliable sourcing. But the only source here is a very short entry in a regional history encyclopedia, which is obviously a valid start but not enough all by itself if it's the only source he has, and I haven't been able to find anything else of value.

Quotes from him are appearing on protest signs across the world (examples 1, 2). --Majdal.cc (talk) 18:41, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Notice I believe that the article (Muhammad al-Kurd) is a temporary phenomenon or fame when a person, thing, or event becomes the focus of attention and a very wide fame without introductions and becomes the talk of the hour, and it enjoys wide media coverage or large contributions on the level of social networks, but after a certain period of time has passed the fame diminishes This thing becomes forgotten and completely disappears. This phenomenon is like a bubble that grows until it reaches a certain extent and then pops and disappears after that, and that is why some call it a "media bang." We must take care of the issues, not the personal articles! If the article of Muhammad al-Kurd remains, then this indicates that the English Wikipedia is transforming from knowledge and societal and scientific facts into a platform for publishing the names of characters who did not achieve this momentum of knowledge, I hope to re-evaluate the status of the article and delete it. Osps7 (talk) 15:24, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Osps7, the article includes references from reliable sources talking about work of the subject prior to the most recent "media bang". A better example, in my opinion, would be someone like Amanda Gorman. She was doing work well before being in the global spotlight (and had a Wikipedia article) and continues to do so. But that's neither here nor there. If you have a disagreement based around policy I would encourage you to make it. Ckoerner (talk) 18:48, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

B. Griffith

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Noticed this because this was tagged for sports notability with only a first initial, which was a red flag, but my research shows that he was not the head coach, but rather the team captain and quarterback: [7]. A Griffith was the left end in 1890 as well [8].

While we tend to keep head coaching articles for passing WP:GNG, this article both fails WP:GNG and appears to be based on an incorrect premise that he was the head coach and not the team captain. My assumption is that these were effectively the same thing at the time, but I don't think this is eligible for a stand-alone article: I'd suggest merging and/or redirecting the information, probably to the list of Franklin & Marshall coaches in the template, or to the football program generally.

Delete. In the sources given above, none so far that I can see make the connection between this B. Griffith and the Bruce Griffith from Findagrave and the Evening Eagle. Perhaps it's in the first page of the latter article, as that one isn't given above (by accident I suppose). Even so, it doesn't look as if he was a notable headcoach, just like many other head coaches from this period. Fram (talk) 15:43, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've started to expand there article. Found another 1931 feature article that solidifies the Bruce Griffith, postmaster of Wichita, as the member of the Franklin & Marshall football team circa 1890. Between Griffith's college football exploits, work as a clergyman, military service, and civil service, I think he passes GNG, much like his F&M teammate and predecessor as captain, William Mann Irvine. It's unclear exactly whether Griffith was head coach or just captain of the F&M team in 1891 and 1892. Current day records on the F&M website credit him as both captain in 1892 and coach in 1891 and 1892; see https://www.godiplomats.com/sports/m-footbl/Career_Stats/yearandcoach and https://www.godiplomats.com/sports/m-footbl/Career_Stats/captains. Jweiss11 (talk) 01:57, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This 1951 article sheds some light on F&M early captains doubling as coaches. Jweiss11 (talk) 03:28, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but not as a coach. The historical record (including this, this, this, and this) does not IMO support the assertion that Griffith was a "head coach." To the contrary, it shows that he was a student, player, and team captain during the 1891 and 1892 seasons. Many colleges (even major ones) did not have head coaches in the early 1890s, and team captains were the de facto team leaders. But captaincy is not the same as "head coach." I have encountered this situation before where college sports information departments, reporters, and Wikipedia editors, operating many decades after the fact, retroactively try to fill vacant "head coach" slots by inserting the names of the team captains. While referring to him as a head coach is not IMO historically accurate, Griffith does pass the GNG bar based on the coverage cited above and in the article (see also here and here). Cbl62 (talk) 13:30, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask what your search terms were? I only found a small number of results, and none directly listing him as "Bruce Griffith." I did only limit it to the years in which he played, though, thinking about it. Also, the article's been well improved and I no longer support deleting it, but it should be more football-orientated.

@RandomCanadian:, @CommanderWaterford:: this discussion should be closed as keep. User:Cbl62 and I made substantive keep arguments that were not "vague waves" at policy. Paul McDonald and Ortizesp tersely endorsed those arguments as there really wasn't much more to say. User talk:Fram's delete vote is based largely on two false premises: 1) the "connection" (or alleged lack there off), which has been clearly demonstrated by the sources and 2) the claim that "many other head coaches from this period" are not notable—it's rather rare that we've been have been unable to show notability for a college football head coach of any time period. User:SportingFlyer, who nominated this article for deletion, has stated that he no longer supports deleting it. SportingFlyer, perhaps, you'd like to withdraw the nomination? Jweiss11 (talk) 15:24, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jweiss11: I don't understand the relist and hopefully someone will just close this as keep. My own personal preference would still be a redirect - I find WP:GNG marginal, I don't think he'd be notable if he hadn't captained F&M, which I'm not sure is notable regardless - but given the consensus, the improvement, and the fact my motivation for the AfD was being unable to clear the notability tag on my own, this should probably just be closed as keep already. My only request at this point is that we take care of the prose in the article stating he was the "head coach" as I've only seen him listed as captain, either by rewriting/explaining or citing a more contemporary article. SportingFlyer T·C 15:48, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SportingFlyer:: Griffith is listed as a head coach in this 1951 article and here on the Franklin & Marshall website. That being said, some investigation in the status of all of F&M's captains / head coaches prior to Alfred E. Bull in 1896 warrants some more investigation.

Darren Atwater

WP:BLP of a newspaper publisher and restaurateur, not properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for businesspeople. The notability claims here are that he founded some alt-weekly newspapers, a music festival and a pizza restaurant -- but none of those things are instant notability freebies that automatically entitle a person to have a Wikipedia article just because he did stuff, and rather they require a WP:GNG-worthy volume of media coverage about the stuff he did to establish that it's been externally recognized as significant. But the only sources here are a brief namecheck of his existence in a non-notable and unreliable blog and a very short blurb in a specialist trade magazine, which is not enough coverage to get him over the bar. (I also had to strip one further footnote, which failed to mention Atwater or his pizza restaurant at all, and served only to tangentially verify that London has pizza restaurants.)

Womansplace Bookstore

Ephemeral local bookstore, utterly fails both the GNG and WP:CORP. Of the "sources" given in the article, three of them turn out to be small 1" and 2" cut-and-paste ads in obscure small-press publications, two others are short ad blurb in local APA newsletters, and the mention in the only published book listed is a namedrop. One can admire the article creator for the research skills needed to dredge up these half-century old obscure mimeoed sources, but meeting notability criteria they do not.

Perhaps there are offline sources or books about Arizona history that document the subject, but, I find that hard to believe given it's lack of even internet coverage.

The main problem that strikes me, is that it has no reliable sources, and never has, since it was created in 2012 - none at all.

Delete Fails WP:NPROF, which states " Ordinary colloquia and seminar talks and invited lectures at scholarly conferences, standard research grants, named post-doctoral fellowships, visiting appointments, or internal university awards are insufficient for this purpose." They appear to have attained 'Assistant Professor' and 'Visiting Professor' status, so I think they fail that criterion. There are insufficient sources to check from the article, but I could find nothing significant on Google or in Google Books about them. Cutting through all the uncited waffle (which I was sooo tempted to excise), they appear to have written numerous books and published papers - but many academics do that, and that doesn't confer notability, per se. Have they made a significant impact on their subject area to the point of meeting WP:NBIO?

Weak keep - Perhaps the bands he's in are more notable? I'm looking at this strictly about Holland himself. He's had his music reviewed in No Depression, PopMatters twice[10], and in the Dallas Observer. I can't find much else, maybe because a Broadway musician shares his name. Those do qualify him through general notability guidelines, but, reviews can only go so far. I don't consider anything else sourced in that article qualifying for GNG, only WP:BASIC.

Some (useless) routine coverage is available, see [11], [12], [13], [14]. Looking to WP:GNG, these pieces ([15] and [16]) in industry publications could lift them over the bar. They are both independent, are written by staff writers, and rise to the level of secondary coverage by analysing the company's business model. Naturally, I've added them to the article.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:ENTERTAINER. All RS relate specifically to his 2020 hiring as a supporting cast member on the U.S. television serial "Saturday Night Live" and are BLP 1E. Other references like earnthenecklace.com and capcitycomedy.com are not RS. He was a group nominee for an Emmy; while being nominated for an Emmy might infer notability, being part of a group of 82 people nominated (and not winning) one does not. A WP:BEFORE on newspapers.com, Google News, Google Books, and JSTOR returns many results but entirely in non-RS or in RS offering only fleeting mentions such as episode credits during his handful of SNL appearances. May be WP:TOOSOON. Chetsford (talk) 06:55, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really sure BLP1E applies to someone on a recurring TV show, which is not a single event. It's not clear to me whether Dismukes meets WP:ENTERTAINER but I do think we're likely to see more coverage of him after tonight's show, e.g. [1]. I did reach out to them to see if we could get a photo donated after they pointed it out on tonight's show so I don't plan on casting a vote. Legoktm (talk) 07:26, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep I know he writes and performs on SNL, an iconic sketch comedy show, but is this nomination a joke??! The very night he complains on his national television show that his article doesn't have a photo, suddenly that article gets nominated for deletion?! Obviously, someone was watching. Or is this just an attempt to get the article mentioned on national television again next week?!! Seriously, even a cursory Google search of his name under the News, lists articles featuring his name (within the last hour at the time of this writing alone), in Paste Magazine, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly and Deadline; and within the last week on MarketWatch, Consequence, New York Post, IndieWire, Vanity Fair, Daily Mail, The Globe and Mail and OK Magazine. Others recently include Yahoo News and US Weekly. That alone passes WP:BASIC and is indeed WP:GNG. Another commenter already correctly noted that WP:BLP1E applies to a single event, not a recurring tv show. Curiously, even the nominator notes that he was nominated for a Primetime Emmy. However, he was actually nominated for 2 Primetime Emmys: in both 2018 and 2019; as well as 2 Writers Guild Award nominations in 2019 and 2020. He also won a Special Jury Award at the Florida Film Festival for the short film "Call Me Brother" in 2018. Those honors certainly qualify under WP:ANYBIO and easily pass WP:ARTIST and WP:NACTOR, as does the fact that his article had to be semi-protected immediately following his televised comments. Subject has been a writer on SNL since 2018 and been a cast member in over two dozen episodes since 2020. He also continues to perform as an actor and stand-up comic in his own right. I could go on, but in the history of AfD's this one is easily the biggest no-brainer yet. Comedy itself is harder than this! Who are we trying to cancel next, Liz Cheney?! X4n6 (talk) 07:43, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"certainly qualify under WP:ANYBIO and easily pass WP:ARTIST and WP:NACTOR" I'm sure the Florida Film Festival is a fun event, but I hardly think winning an award at it constitutes a "significant cultural monument" as prescribed by the inherent notability standards you cited. Chetsford (talk) 16:06, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep: This article needs cleanup, not deletion. And the fact that he has been nominated for four awards (two Emmys, two Writers Guild) shows that he is clearly notable. Additionally, I don’t think one can consider his casting on SNL as a single event since it is a recurring show watched by millions. It’s not like he was hired for a one-off comedy special nor is it like he only made one appearance on the show. CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 15:05, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"And the fact that he has been nominated for four awards (two Emmys, two Writers Guild) shows that he is clearly notable." At the risk of sounding redundant, this - like many of the arguments here - is not an argument based in our policy as it exists today. (Aside from the fact that saying he was "nominated for an Emmy" when he was part of an 82-person group nomination is a little disingenuous.) Chetsford (talk) 16:00, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep easily passes WP:GNG. [17] [18] [19] [20] [21]. While all of those are about him joining the cast, he continues to get coverage for being a cast member, particularly because he wasn't thrilled about the Elon Musk thing. Not the best nom. SportingFlyer T·C 13:14, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All of the articles you cited are from the same month and are coverage of his hiring, therefore, are covered by WP:BLP1E in the absence of any other in-depth coverage. I keep hearing that he's continuing to get coverage but, thus far, have seen no examples of said coverage beyond fleeting mentions in cast lists and episode summaries. When I ask for examples of all this in-depth coverage I'm met with an exasperated declaration "but he's a cast member of SNL!" Notability must be demonstrated, not simply decreed. Not the best !vote. Chetsford (talk) 16:02, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Every episode gets media coverage, so he gets discussed whenever he appears. See recaps like [22]. WP:BLP1E also has three elements, of which the second is: If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Clearly not the case here. Also, if showing GNG is a bad vote, then I'm happy if all my !votes are bad. SportingFlyer T·C 17:59, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Saturday Night Live is the crown jewel of American comedy. Any cast member becomes notable just for being a member of that elite show. I therefore think that any person chosen to be a cast member on SNL satisfies criteria #3 of WP:ENTERTAINER (a unique contribution to a field of entertainment). Banana Republic (talk) 13:33, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Saturday Night Live is the crown jewel of American comedy. Any cast member becomes notable just for being a member of that elite show." This is not an argument based in our policy. As said repeatedly, we don't currently have a policy that says cast members of SNL get Wikipedia articles for no other reason than they're a cast member on SNL. Chetsford (talk) 16:00, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nice attempt at cherrypicking. Read the entire !vote. It is the basis for why I think he satisfies criteria #3 of WP:ENTERTAINER. Banana Republic (talk) 16:11, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Criteria #3 is that the entertainer "Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment." Do you have an RS to support the idea that an actor who has appeared in a handful of minor roles on SNL in the last two months has, therefore, "made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment?" Even the inherent notability criteria require demonstration in RS, not merely declaration as a matter of personal approval of the BLP's performing ability. Chetsford (talk) 16:14, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep for all above reasons. Sure, the article looks like a stub at first sight, but deleting it isn't the answer, active upkeep of the article is. Cheers, u|RayDeeUx (contribs | talk page) 13:42, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to Closer: If the !voting were to end right now I would call this no consensus on the basis that no reasonable policy-based arguments to Keep have been advanced. For now, to avoid WP:DEADHORSEing this AfD, I'm going to unwatchlist it and stop replying as it doesn't seem likely any arguments other than "he's a cast member of SNL" or "he was part of a group that was nominated for an Emmy" are going to be proffered or are even possible. But please imagine I'm still in this AfD and am responding "this is not a policy based reason to Keep" to all subsequent iterations of this argument. Thanks - Chetsford (talk) 16:31, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I reject the notion that "no reasonable policy-based arguments to Keep have been advanced". Just because you don't agree with those arguments does not mean that they were not presented. Banana Republic (talk) 20:10, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep There's no way you're to get a delete or redirect result on this...the subject is obviously notable as a cast member and writer on a very popular TV series and a deletion review re-open wasn't needed. No amount of 'but this (WP:)!' is going to change anyone's mind at this point. Nate • (chatter) 19:35, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Dismukes is notable because he's a cast member on this venerable American show. There is no reasonable argument for Dismukes not being notable. He's a cast member and a writer on this sketch show, the amount of time he does or does not spend on screen has nothing to do with his notability. Jessamyn (talk) 20:50, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment OK I'll bite, these are RS that I think support his notability. Stubs have been written about people with less. Jessamyn (talk) 21:48, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Paste Magazine - establishes that he's been a writer on SNL for "a few years" and also goes on about his talent in the most recent show.

Emmy nomination - sure he's one of 30-ish writers but that's the nature of this show.

Texas Monthly - establishes more facts about Dismukes

Austin Statesman - numerous mentions about what he was up to in college

NBC.com - more facts about him

Fort Worth Star Telegram - short Texas-local article about when he was hired

Snow keep. Is this a joke? Ample coverage exists for GNG. This looks like we are punishing him for mentioning that he didn't have a photo on his article on SNL. gobonobo ^c 15:40, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to take this ill advised AfD nomination out of its misery, but was severely chastised for it, even though the reviewers did not necessarily approve of the wisdom of this nomination. This disruptive AfD will therefore have to stay open for an entire week.

Ironically, Wikipedia claims to not be a bureaucracy. As my experience shows, this is obviously just a motto, not reality.

Banana Republic (talk) 01:21, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep This seems silly. There is only one SNL cast member in the history of the show who doesn't have their own page, and that is featured player Dan Vitale, who was on the show for only three episodes in 1985. Dismukes has been a writer for several seasons, during which the show was nominated for an Emmy, and is now a featured player who has already been in more than three episodes. Yes, I'm partially making an argument from "What about article x?", which is not entirely professional, but the fact that a deletion page was created for this article the morning after Dismukes mentioned his Wikipedia article on Weekend Update has made the whole discussion unprofessional. JaneOstensible (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 17:26, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep I was so astonished that this page is marked for deletion that I went to the trouble to figure out how to add my comments here. Sorry if I did it wrong, but of course he deserves an article. I know the rules say to assume the person who flagged this article for deletion acted in good faith, but I'm finding it difficult to extend the benefit of the doubt here. I believe this person either is a troll or doesn't know much about U.S. television. A quick Google search turns up plenty of media coverage, for example, the article I've cited here.

In this particular case, as I mentioned earlier, among the references, 1 and 2 indicates he has some coverage in media.

Rolling the dice and taking my chances... Hugely promotional piece of peacockery (written by a paid editor, and it shows!) on a person of at best borderline notability. There are sources, yes, but lest we forget, even solid sources (and I'm not saying these are necessarily solid, even if they are many) only raise the presumption of notability; they don't guarantee it. Given that AfD is not cleanup, I did first think of cutting out all the promo fluff and trimming this down to its essence only, but TBH I'm not sure quite what if anything would remain.

Delete with impunity. I'd never heard of him before, but many of the things mentioned in the article are local and familiar. He's a successful local businessman with some local newspaper coverage. There's nothing notable here by our standards. The accomplishments are nothing spectacular. The puffery, on the other hand is spectacular. I think the very highest standard of notability has to be applied here, as he's a former PR professional, presumably with access to people who publish sources. All coverage seems to be either local or not independent, and all quite banal. --- Possibly (talk) 06:04, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I tagged this for notability having read it three times to try and identify what exactly would make the subject notable. I’m still not clear.

discussion Is it absolutely necessary to be so unpleasant ? I have copy-pasted here this traduction of the French article thinking that the admissibility was similar (at least 2 national centered sources on at least 2 differents years). La Presse and The Gazette are considered as national sources on the French Wikipedia.
I understand that each Wikipedia have their own rules and I'll accept your jugement here, but there's pillars and I am especting that you'll respect the fourth one. Simon Villeneuve (talk) 14:15, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, when you embark upon writing, for money, promo pieces on people of questionable notability, you really ought to expect some fairly robust pushback; don't you think? Best, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:56, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

promo pieces on people of questionable notability that is your PoV.
As I said, I think that there's a lot of good sources about this person. If you can't assume good faith and just want to see that I'm a paid editor writing a piece of promo, even if I have created thousands of bio and I've been paid for about 5 of them, it is your choice. Personnaly, I think that it is you who have anti-paid-editing glasses, that you can't make the difference between a promo and a bio where all informations are no more and no less than facts sourced by independant sources. Yes, it didn't put in light the failures of the personnality, but if someone want to add them with independant sources, nobody will fight it. But this is also a PoV.
The problem here is your denigration of my work. It don't respect one of the pillars of the project. It create a straw man of my work and me and divert the discussion on feelings and not on facts. We can't juge an article with things like "I've never heard of him before".
I think that the mains questions are : "do there's good sources about this person and do the article use them correctly". Simon Villeneuve (talk) 12:20, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, I would kindly ask that you do not start with personal attacks. Despite what you seem to think, the comments so far have been aimed at the article subject or the way it has been written; you are now starting to attack other editors (while pleading civility yourself), which is not acceptable.

Secondly, your assessment of the quality of the sources cited clearly differs from those of the majority here. Perhaps instead of accusing me and/or others of POV, it might help to take a look in the mirror and ask why that is?

Thirdly, whether you have written 'thousands' of bios isn't what is being considered (not yet, at least); we are discussing this particular bio. To say that you have visited a bank branch thousands of times without incident doesn't really ameliorate the fact on one of your recent visits you decided to rob the place. And for someone to point that out isn't the offence here, so appealing to one of the 'pillars' is unlikely to suffice as defence.

PS: Incidentally, you say you have been paid for five bios. I have previously asked you on your talk page to disclose any COI, and Possibly expressly asked if you have been paid for any other articles than this. I note that you have not responded to either question. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 04:59, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Firstly, GNG is not just "count the footnotes and keep anybody who passes an arbitrary number", so he isn't automatically notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia just because the article has the words "La Presse" and "Montreal Gazette" in it — we also test the sources for things like (a) the depth of how substantively any given source is or isn't about him and (b) the context of what they're covering him for, and not every possible source is of equal GNG-building value. Glancing namechecks of his existence in sources whose core subject is something else do not help to establish his notability; "social notes" columns do not help to establish his notability; local coverage of him in local interest contexts, such as organizing local events or winning minor local awards, does not secure his notability; and on and so forth.
Secondly, please read WP:WAX if you think "it's a straight translation of an article that already exists on the French Wikipedia" is a reason why the article needs to be kept — especially since the maker of that argument was also the creator of the article on the French Wikipedia, and even the French Wikipedia's inclusion standards, while not completely identical to the English Wikipedia's inclusion standards across the board, are still much, much stricter than "anybody who's gotten their name into any newspaper twice", so the article may not necessarily have genuinely passed their inclusion standards either.
Nothing stated in the article passes any of our subject-specific inclusion criteria, and even just basic GNG is considerably more complex, and takes a lot more factors into account, than just "article has 17 footnotes in it". Bearcat (talk) 13:46, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Where did I say that GNG is to count footnotes ? That enwiki criteria are the same than frwiki ? That the article is on French Wikipedia and must be keept here because of that?
I didn't say that all the article sources are centered on him, just that there's at least 2 national sources centered on him on 2 differents years (Petrowski and the one of Campbell about BBCM) and that this is a general criteria of notability on French Wikipedia for bio. I have thought it was similar here and it seems I was wrong.
This will be my last post. I know too much that kind of discussion. Your idea is made and anything I'll say wouldn't change it. Simon Villeneuve (talk) 16:22, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Granted, it is less well know than its northern counterpart, but it is certainly used in the region to differentiate between the Michigan/Wisconsin side of the lake and the Minnesota/Ontario side. A quick internet search of "south shore lake superior" brings up numerous instances of the term which easily meets WP:GEOLAND. -- Dolotta (talk) 13:07, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  - Agree with Rusf10. The term "South Shore" is never used anywhere, and the redirect would be pointless. If someone searches for "South Shore" and is redirected to Lake Superior, it creates the illusion that the term actually exists and has meaning. —Notorious4life (talk) 05:43, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Extended content

Further Developments in Value Chain Research

More recently, the term value grid has been developed to highlight the fact that competitiion in the value chain has been shifting away from the strict linear view defined by the traditional 'value chain' model (Pil and Holweg, 2006).

The value chain in its original sense was defined as a sequence of value-enhancing activities. In its simplest form, raw materials are formed into components, which are assembled into final products, distributed, sold, and serviced. Frequently, the activities span multiple organizations. This orderly progression of activities allows managers to formulate profitable strategies and coordinate operations.

However, it can also put a stranglehold on innovation at a time when the greatest opportunities for value creation (and the most significant threats to long-term survival) often originate outside the traditional, linear view. Traditional value chains may have worked well in landline telecommunications and automobile production during the last century, but today innovation comes in many shapes and sizes—and often unexpectedly.

Pil and Holweg hence argue for seeing value creation as multidirectional rather than linear. Given the constant tension between opportunity and threat, firms need to explore opportunities for managing risks, gaining additional influence over customer demand, and generating new ways to create customer value. Nokia, for example, is legendary for having the foresight to lock in critical components that were in short supply, allowing it to achieve significant market share growth. However, a few years ago it suffered a setback when competitors used the same strategy to take advantage of shifts in the demand for LCD displays.

Protection against such fickle reversals calls for a more complex view of value—one that is based on a grid as opposed to the traditional chain. The grid approach allows firms to move beyond immediately recognizable opportunities and across industry lines. This permits managers to identify where other companies—perhaps even those engaged in entirely different value chains—obtain value, line up critical resources, or influence customer demand. The new paths can be vertical; horizontal; and even diagonal. Successful managers need to learn how to assemble multi-faceted value grids that leverage new opportunities and respond to new threats."

Bharath Gyan

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A promotionally worded article about a "research initiative" by DK Hari and Hema Hari, whose output consists of books and other media.

It doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG: the only independent source I could find was this article in the The Hindu. There are a few profiles on platforms where they publish (the most substantial one I could find was www.artofliving.org/in-en/bharathgyan – sorry, site is blacklisted) or on the web page of an unaccredited university where one of the founders is a teacher [32], a report on a presentation made by the founders [33], and another report about a book published by them [34]. The article also cites a 2007 newspaper article titled India in the eyes of Bharathgyan, but that's not available online, and even if we count it there won't be enough in-depth coverage overall.

Unless appearances are deceiving (some of the refs used in the article have it that Bhararth Gyan have determined Rama's birth to be 5114 BC, and have traced the origin of the Maya calendar to India), then we absolutely can't have an article about what looks like purveyors of pseudo-history without something reliable to say about them. – Uanfala (talk) 14:31, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first AfD was closed as no consensus, with the notation, "as many of the "keep" votes lack supporting evidence or a foundation in policy. However, some do speak to the possibility of improvement with sources not presently found in the article. The absence of consensus does not spare this article from being renominated for deletion at a future point if additional reliable sources containing sufficiently in-depth coverage of the subject are not provided." 4 months after the first AfD was opened, and 3 months after it was closed, that sourcing has not been provided.Mccapra's original rationale of "BLP of a social activist who does not seem to have in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources.

Corporation (university)

Article is a complete disaster. What the article describes is basically Fraternities and sororities in various countries. I've never heard the term "corporation" used to describe them before and not finding sources to back that up. We also have an article that is more appropriately named Student society. Finally, this article cannot stand because the members of the list oddly link to foreign language versions of Wikipedia.

Delete The article is clearly original research and as the nominator says, there's already articles that are not OR that cover the same exact thing in a non-miss leading way. Plus, a lot of the links being to foreign language articles is an issue. I'm not sure how you can remedy the issues and still have a usable, appropriate article either. --Adamant1 (talk) 13:14, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/Move The criticism here is over-done. This is a useful list, and perhaps might be recategorized as a List-class article. To justify tossing it out because the author(s) gathered names of many such "corporations" into a single list would mean that ALL lists are original research. The value of this article is in bridging awareness of non-US fraternal clubs to an English-centric audience. Rusf10, you may not have heard use of the term "Corporation" in this sense. Me too: Before I began working on the Fraternities and Sororities Project I'd only been dimly aware of German university clubs and a few Puerto Rican or Philippine fraternities. The terms "Nations" or "Corporations" in this context was unknown to me, yet I've spent a couple of decades working with these groups here in the US and Canada. This article, and others like it, have helped me see the commonality between North American student groups versus those from other countries. To Adamant1's point, it's understandable there is a lack of English press about these groups. A pointer to a global reference is allowable - again, Wikipedia articles are often the starting point for a broader search. I vote to Keep this useful list. Jax MN (talk) 16:49, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:USEFUL is not a reason to keep. We already have Student society which covers the topic internationally. I believe that's the proper term for this anyway. For Germany, we already have Studentenverbindung (which isn't exactly a great article either, although I wouldn't recommend deleting). If there is a particular group in another country that you believe is deserving of an article and can meet our WP:NORG guidelines then go ahead and create an article, but that doesn't justify keeping this disaster of a page.--Rusf10 (talk) 17:02, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I could care less about non-english references. I was pretty clear that I was talking about linking non-English Wikipedia articles. Which isn't something that is generally acceptable in Wikipedia articles. Ones that are list articles or otherwise. Especially if they are mainly (or only) the articles being linked to. The point in lists is to help someone find more information about the topic. Which, it should go without saying, they either can't do or if the articles send them to are not in their native language. Again, it has nothing to do with references. At least those would be cited in the article in English. Adamant1 (talk) 17:13, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adamant1, in an article listing or introducing international fraternal groups and their lexicon ("Corporations", "Corps", and "Nations"), it's pretty obvious that links would be used that point to non-English Wikipedia articles. I don't see a problem with this. Many English speakers have an affinity for a second or third language. They're the ones who would be investigating fraternal groups in another language. N'est-ce pas?

Rusf10, outside of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Germany, there may not be enough of these societies to justify maintaining separate articles. I've looked at this issue through the lens of the Fraternity and Sorority Project watchlist, where we keep an eye on some 1700 global fraternal groups. We've created subheaders for those three countries named plus the North American groups. We have a catch-all for student societies in other nations, which seems to work for us. I've already responded to the concern that this is WP:NORG - I don't think that claim is supportable. Nor do I think the page you are aiming to delete is a "disaster". There are so many others that ought to be dumped before this one. Again, it is a list. I'm mulling over the options here; Perhaps we could merge this content into the Student society page, but it would then dismiss the useful linkage to this valid definition of how the word "Corporation" is used in this context, globally. To delete it, because you've never heard of it, shows a bias that I don't assume you mean to display. I say we just leave it, after cleaning up the formatting. Jax MN (talk) 17:33, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's all well and good, but I'm not the only that made the complaint. On your comment that bias is why we don't think corporations are a thing in this context, the first link in the "External links" section is called "Academic corporations" in the article but then on the webpage it says "Academic Societies." From what I can tell the other external links don't call them corporations either. Even if they did, they seem to all be blogs or personal websites. So they aren't at all authorities.

I also picked a few random inter-Wiki links from the various lists. Either they didn't use the word "corporation" or when they did there wasn't a reference attached to it's usage. Except for ones that were primary and even then it was only a few times. Primary sources do not qualify as valid when it comes deciding if a term is actually thing though. So, there just isn't anything to back up your assertions. Except I guess that we are just suppose to take your word on it...Because experience or something. I'd also add it's extremely miss-leading to list things in an article about so called "corporations" that don't even refer themselves as such. Even more so if your going to claim other people are just being biased about it when they bring up the discrepancy. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:42, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Responding to your specific points, here, one must wrestle with translation and transliteration issues, and abbreviation. The use of "Nation(s)" appears to be prevalent in the Baltics and in Scandinavia, while "Corporation(s)" appear/s within the German groups, abbreviated as Korps. Substituting these words there now appears to be a host of fraternal groups throughout Europe, some quite old. Thus a useful aspect of this article, for North American readers, is to clarify that fraternities in Europe use these terms. Secondly, would you be less inclined to be a Deletionist on this matter, if we were to simply rename the article to be a list? After seeing the way the deletion vs. inclusion debate has ripped through Wikipedia for the past decade, I am convinced that keeping this content helps to encourage more writers, eventually better writing, and that the best policy when faced with an article we don't like is outlined here: Thanks for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to change it. We encourage you to be bold in updating pages, since wikis like ours develop faster when everybody edits. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. You can always preview your edits before you publish them or test them out in the sandbox. If you need additional help, check out our getting started page or ask the friendly folks at the Teahouse. . This stance makes me an Inclusionist. We're not lacking for space, nor is there risk of confusion over this article. It just needs cleanup, and more sources. The rules regarding Deletion require competence and familiarity when judging a subject, and elaborate on this, saying that "This means articles, categories or templates should not be nominated in a routine fashion, nor because one feels too lazy to check for sources, or if the content is still being built or improved." To support this point, I will add comments for those closer to these groups who may be able to provide better references. I'll insert this on the Talk page. Let me know if you'd like the page to be moved into a List. Reasonable? Jax MN (talk) 22:28, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, because despite your wall of test that only involved your personal opinion and a history of Wikipedia articles being deleted, you didn't provide a reliable source that contains and (or) explains this usage of the term corporation like I asked you to. Nor did you address my point about the references in the article and the blue links not even using the term. Sure, you can go on and on about how the term is used more in Germany Etc. Etc., but you still need to provide reliable sources saying so and the articles your linking to also have to use the word. Just changing the article into a list does not solve those things.

This isn't a thing of everyone here being a deletionist either. No more then it has anything to do with bias on our parts. It's odd that you keep deflecting to such things though instead of just providing the references that would prove this is an actual thing. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:17, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with all that. You must have sources to back up your claims. And just because Germany has a different name doesn't mean we create two articles for the same thing. This is especially true because this article is not exclusively about Germany. The logical thing to do would to be use an English term because this is English wikipedia. And while we're on the topic of language, let me just add one thing. Setting aside the fact that WP:USEFUL is not a valid reason to keep, he notion that inline links to a foreign language version of wikipeida is somehow useful is incomprehensible. People who use this wikipedia speak English, so when they click on a link they expect to be taken to another page that is also in English. How is it of any use to them to be surprisingly taken to a page that they cannot read?--Rusf10 (talk) 23:46, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - multiple reasons. First, it seems to me that if we have an article at this title, it should be about the legal structure of a university (or possibly about training programs like Hamburger University). The title violates WP:CONCISE. Since the title is so unclear, it's impossible to locate sources; and as the article is unsourced, it's a clear failure of pillar policy WP:V. Again, since the subject is unclear, I can't see how a reasonable argument for notability could possibly be made. TNT is the only solution. 174.212.211.253 (talk) 20:51, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree with this anonymous editor on the point that the title is unclear. Again, it should be moved into a name such as List of European Student Fraternities, with the word "Corporation" defined there as the European fraternal groups tend to use it (along with "Nations", "Societies", etc.), and I agree with everyone that the article needs citations, but these are easy to find. So I favor fixing it, instead of blowing it up. I've switched my vote (above) to Keep/Move. Jax MN (talk) 22:42, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the term is not used in American English. Most of the article is unsourced, I am not certain what the term is supposed to mean exactly. The article seems to suggest that it refers to Nation (university), which is already a different article. There is also synthesis in suggesting that "Nations" are the same as American-style fraternities. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 18:14, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose deletion - Kris Johnson is a video game pioneer who played a notable role in both the gaming industry and the technology/startup landscape within Utah. The article was intended to convey this information and was modeled after other biographies found on Wikipedia for similarly important industry personalities (e.g., Will Harvey). The article describes Mr. Johnson’s history and contains numerous citations, not to mention cross links to several other Wikipedia pages that mention him by name. He is a noteworthy figure in the gaming industry. Contrary to the reason cited for deletion, the article mostly contains information on his background and accomplishments, not just his game creations. The article only references the games and aside from a few high points does not describe them in detail as many have their own Wikipedia articles. According to Wikipedia’s notability (person) policy/page, the topic of a biography should be “worthy of notice” who is “significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention.” For “creative professionals” like Johnson, a person “is likely to be notable” if “the person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work” and such work has been the subject of multiple independent articles or reviews. Johnson’s body of work in the video game industry meets this criteria as can be seen in the dozens of published reviews cited in the Wikipedia articles for his games. His body of work renders him notable and deserving of an article. Thank you for your consideration. Sandpiper259 (talk) 08:40, 23 April 2021

Regards, Sandpiper259 (talk) 08:10 27 April 2021

Delete per nom. Almost all sources (reliability concerns aside) do not even mention Johnson. In most cases, there is a random source that marginally talks about a topic (e.g. Animal Jam - Play Wild! mentioned in connection to an award) that is used to make a claim about Johnson (e.g. that he directed the game and a related one) although the source says no such thing. Consider this fragment: "In 1999, Johnson founded Cobalt Interactive to focus on the confluence of advertising, gaming, and education. Cobalt produced Cap’n Crunch’s Crunchling Adventure for Quaker Oats Company, which was enthusiastically received ..." - the cited sources are a user-written gameplay overview of the game mentioned and a CD rip of another game. Neither source mentions Johnson's role, Cobalt Interactive's founding year, or any sort of reception.

The only sources that actually discuss Johnson are Dreamcast Live and Retro Gamer. The former is an interview (so it does not add not notability) with questionable reliability that is mostly about the game Red Arena. Furthermore, the article cites this interview for claims it does not contains, e.g. that Johnson was born in New Jersey and grew up in various states - the interview says nothing in this regard. I couldn't verify some elements from the Retro Gamer sources either, such as that Johnson designed a game called Junkman in 1984. The majority of the Retro Gamer-sourced content is about Beyond Games rather than Johnson.

Boiling the article down to the content that is actually about Johnson (not his company or its games) and is verifiable would, at best, leave the single-digit number of sentences that he studied at the University of Utah and founded Beyond Games in 1991. I concur with the nomination that the article fails WP:NBIO (or WP:GNG in general) and should be deleted. The author, Sandpiper259, claims above that Johnson is a significant figure in the field but did not provide any reliable sources that verify this. IceWelder [✉] 09:52, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@IceWelder: As noted above, references have been expanded to better link Johnson to his work. The article has also been redacted and revised in an attempt to address issues raised in your discussion. Sandpiper259 (talk) 08:15, 27 April 2021

@Sandpiper259: A breakdown of the new sources:

The Salt Lake Tribune (1) – Interview with Johnson about Beyond Games; no coverage about him apart from his age
GameSpy – Company-provided overview for Beyond Games (primary source by proxy); Johnson is only name-dropped once
MMORPG.com – Unreliable source; interview; Johnson is only name-dropped once
Infinitgamer – Proxy of the Beyond Games Wikipedia article (tertiary source)
AtariAge – Game manual (primary source)
beyondgames.com – Company website (primary source)
VentureBeat – Johnson is only name-dropped once
The Salt Lake Tribune (2) – Johnson is only name-dropped once (twice if you include the image caption)

The points from my above analysis remain valid: There is no significant coverage of Johnson himself and the sources are inappropriately used for original research/synthesis. You added more sources, including unreliable ones, but the few that are reliable (SL Tribune and VentureBeat) only mention Johnson once or twice in connection to Beyond Games/Smart Bomb/WildWorks. They do not contain any coverage about him. The absolute number of name drops is irrelevant if no coverage about Johnson comes with them. IceWelder [✉] 16:00, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@IceWelder: In the gaming landscape, the sources cited are credible, including Mobygames which was added after your review. Regardless, the point of notability here is not fame and the number of press references (though he did warrant interviews and photographs in newspaper and magazine publications). In fact, being famous or popular is “secondary” to notability according to Wikipedia policy. Rather, Johnson’s article is premised on his body of work and the relevance of his games, which include award-winners and well-know franchises. As pointed out in my entry above, notability for creative professionals derives from the attention received in the form of articles and reviews for their works, not necessarily for articles specifically focused on the professionals themselves. Please see WP:NBIO. Johnson’s gameography certainly satisfies this requirement and the content and references in his Wiki article (including the Retro Gamer and Dreamcast pieces you discussed) show that he was the vital force behind these games and worthy of attention. Please see the linked Wiki articles on the games for more information. Sandpiper259 (talk) 10:15, 27 April 2021

MobyGames is not "credible", it is a database maintained by users. Many of the sources used are not credible, as detailed above. Please see WP:VG/RS for examples of known reliable sources. You are correct that 'fame' is secondary to notability, meaning that notability weighs higher. Based on the sources provided, Johnson lacks notability as there is barely any coverage about him. The interviews with him are always based around Beyond Games – who else would you interview for this but the founder/owner?

The games are not attributed to Johnson as an individual, rather to Beyond Games/WildWorks as a company. Winning awards from one or two publications is barely enough to justify an article for the product that won it (although these are usually notable by other means). One person behind such games does not inherit that notability (please also read WP:INHERIT as an explainer). You are now referring to WP:CREATIVE (presumably #3), but the reliable sources in the article fail to show that Johnson is known as a driving force for most (if any) of the games listed. The gameography is simply the combination of those of Beyond/WildWorks and Cobalt. Some of these games even credit him in a strictly business role. IceWelder [✉] 18:32, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@IceWelder: First, Wiki policy specifically says that notability for creative professionals can result from co-creations, which by definition exists with media forms like movies and video games. That said, three of Johnson’s most noted works in the article - Battle Wheels, Animal Jam, and Crunchling Adventure - have citations that explicitly reference Johnson as the creator or programmer - a user manual, a current CEO interview, and a newspaper article. As for your dismissive reference to the awards, please check the linked game articles for more details as they’re no longer cited specifically in this article. You’ll find that the awards, like the Google Play Award in 2017, are important ones to children’s games. Moreover, an Innovation Award bestowed by the Consumer Electronics Show, arguably the most influential electronics show in the world, is important. As for the interviews, you said it best: Johnson was the founder/owner. So, I’m not sure how you can say that he could fill this role and be the one best suited for interviews but not the one who was “a driving force for most (if any) of the games listed.” This seems inconsistent and unsupportable, especially when discussing a young programmer at his startup and when the interviews themselves delve into his personal background in gaming and programming. Sandpiper259 (talk) 12:30, 27 April 2021

WP:CREATIVE #3:

The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject ... of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.

(emphasis added)

This 'major role' needs to be covered in independent, reliable, secondary sources. Interviews and game manuals are not independent, especially when the interview source is not reliable. The MMORPG source still does not refer to Johnson as the game director for Animal Jam (just as 'studio director' a/k/a CEO). Additionally, Johnson still needs to pass WP:GNG, which requires:

"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, ...

(emphasis added)

This is not the case. I remain with my above analysis; if the content improperly sourced or only relating to the company was removed, little content would actually remain. Since we're somewhat going in circles, I would rather wait for second opinions from other experienced users than discuss this further. IceWelder [✉] 20:16, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@IceWelder: Agreed regarding further community input. I believe that Johnson’s “major role” has been established given his position as CEO/Founder/Programmer in these companies and game titles. Likewise, his work has been covered by multiple independent articles and reviews. As for Studio Director, this is a title separate from CEO and akin to a film director - the pivotal creative and strategic force behind executing a production. Finally, the referenced articles/interviews are several and contain information about both Johnson’s games and background (some of which was removed pursuant to this discussion thread). I appreciate your input and hope it has resulted in a stronger article. Thank you for your comments. Sandpiper259 (talk) 14:00, 27 April 2021

Interviews from otherwise unreliable sources have no bearing on notability discussions.

Corporate Knights

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Semi-advertorialized article about a company, not reliably sourced as passing WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH. As always, companies are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- they must be the subject of sufficient media coverage to establish their significance. But this is referenced overwhelmingly to primary or unreliable sources that are not support for notability at all, such as its own self-published content about itself, the self-published websites of other affiliated organizations, media pieces that have the company's founder as a bylined author but not the subject, university student media, glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage about other things or people, and on and so forth. Out of 19 footnotes there's only one (#3, The Globe and Mail) that actually represents a mass media outlet writing and publishing third-party journalism about the company, and that's not enough. And even if it can actually be salvaged, it will have to be massively cleaned up for neutrality and structure, because a lot of the content isn't really appropriately written or formatted for an encyclopedia article.

Keep, but not strongly. While AFD isn't the place for clean-up, the promo tone is a valid concern and I'm a bit skeptical about this topic's notability. It's not quite as weak as the start of the nomination may have implied. GBooks indicates their work has been discussed in books and academic literature. A Google Scholar supports that search even more. I did find coverage of companies making their way onto a "Global 100" list Corporate Knights primarily runs, such as in The Guardian, The Fashion Law, this source, Food Business News, Monitor Daily, Fast Company, CNBC, Stockhouse, and the entire list has been discussed by The Toronto Star, the CEO magazine. Company itself also has been in Edie.net and for its other work, such as its study on the amount of Black CEOs being covered by the Toronto Star. It definitely shows the magazine has made a big name for its itself within the literature on ecological sustainability in companies, in the same Billboard has made a name for itself by being the official publisher on what is hot in popular music with its charts. However, that's not necessarily a lot of full in-depth coverage of the company itself, as a lot of the sources (although not all of it) are about the Global 100 chart. I don't know, maybe the article should be about Global 100 if most of the coverage relates the chart. 👨x🐱 (talk) 22:57, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not all of these sources are actually about Corporate Knights in any non-trivial way; several just glancingly namecheck its existence in the process of being about something else, which is not a type of source that helps to establish the notability of Corporate Knights. Bearcat (talk) 13:36, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The appropriate SNG for corporations is WP:NCORP which places a higher standard of scrutiny on sources used to establish notability. Quoting the GNG, which has a less strict standard, does not mean the references meet the appropriate standard. Looking at the references above and applying NCORP shows not a single reference meets NCORP as follows:
- 1.1 from the National Post - the article is commenting on one issue of the magazine published by the company. It provides no in-depth information on the actual company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH, the letter commenting on the article likewise fails CORPDEPTH
- 1.2 from the National Post - the article discusses an award issued by the company and in particular, heavily criticizes the methodology underpinning the award. There is one part one paragraph that comments on the company's own ideology but nowhere else is the company itself discussed, it fails to provide in-depth information on the company and fails CORPDEPTH
- 1.3 from the National Post - the article, like 1.1 above, discusses one issue of the magazine and provides no in-depth info on the company itself, fails CORPDEPTH
- 2 from the "Environmental Communication" journal uses, as the basis for a study, the list of companies appearing the the topic companies' "Global 100 Most Sustainable Companies in the World" list. Fails CORPDEPTH
- 3 from the Globe and Mail provides some discussion and information on the company but the problem for me is that it is also clear that the journalist interviewed executives from the company. In some parts the information is provided in the article by way of quotations and in others, there are statements. One paragraph in particular provides in statement for information about how the company distributes their magazine and then later reverts to quotations. WP:ORGIND states that references must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject and I am not convinced that the author didn't get the information provided in statement form from the company or as part of the interview as the data is not attributable to a third party source. Therefore fails WP:ORGIND
- 4 from the Toronto Star is a profile on the co-founder, Toby A.A. Heaps. It does not provide information on this company and fails WP:CORPDEPTH. But in my opinion, this article could be used to justify an article on Mr. Heaps (and perhaps some of the information in this article could be used in an article on Heaps)
- 5 is from Hamilton Spectator and discusses various companies that appears in the list of Canada's 50 best corporate citizens. It doesn't discuss the company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH
- 6 is from the Chronicle Herald and is an interview with Mr. Heaps with a single generic paragraph describing the company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
- 7 is from a book on Nike where is comments on Nike's inclusion in one of this company's lists and also includes quotations from Heaps and information provided by the company, fails both CORPDEPTH and ORGIND.

There is not a single reference that meets the criteria for establishing notability once you apply the correct and appropriate guidelines for companies/organizations. That said, I believe that Mr. Heaps would likely meet notability guidelines for a standalone article. HighKing 15:24, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The material on the magazine can be used to show the notability of the publisher, (though of course no tthe other way around). Sometimes in situations like this we make the article primarily about the magazine, but the company does significant other things also. The National Post material taken as a whole represents continuing comprehensive coverage of the organization & its magazine. Rejecting it as a source for notability because no one part of their coverage deals with all aspects is looking at sourcing much too narrowly. A study of the lists they produce is a study of their work, and what companies as well a people are known for is their work, not their internal organization. The real problem with the article is the extreme promotional writing and name-dropping, and omission of the more negative conservative sources. (This is a classic case where an article attracts deletion because it is written in an outrageously excessive way, where a more modest article would not really be noticed). I have removed most of the excess. Adding the more critical sources and condensing further I leave to someone else. DGG ( talk ) 19:41, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Saying it is incorrect to reject a source because no one part deals with all aspects is precisely the way NCORP is written. If you want to have an article about the company, then the sourcing must be spot on. Whats really happening here is that the "Top 100" lists published by the magazine get attention - the companies mentioned love them, newspapers love them, etc. Saying that the publisher is therefore notable is a stretch and in my opinion, is precisely the type of promotional article we don't want.

I doubt whether it can be said to fail the WP:GNG The Nautilus awards are favorably referred to at Belmont University's website https://news.belmont.edu/whitehouse-awarded-nautilus-award-for-afoot-and-lighthearted/ and Belmont has a fairly good ranking among universities https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/belmont-university-3479/overall-rankings Also, the awards are favorably referred to also by Springer https://www.springer.com/about springer/media/pressreleases?SGWID=0-11002-2-1419946-0 and Springer is a respected publisher (est. 1950) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springer_Publishing And not least, the world's greatest publisher, Penguin Random House, refers to the Nautilus Awards when they promote their books, something the clearly wouldn't do if they did not consider them worthwhile: https://global.penguinrandomhouse.com/announcements/our-2016-nautilus-book-award-winners/ Cheers Cosimo d'Medici (talk) 00:11, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. To elaborate on my last point from above, that Penguin Random House, the world's biggest publisher, has actively used the Nautilus Awards for promoting their books: https://global.penguinrandomhouse.com/announcements/our-2016-nautilus-book-award-winners/ Probably they did so for financial reasons, but still, had they felt the awards to be naught they wouldn't have made a list of 'their own' Nautilus Winners and displayed it on their website. And given that Penguin Random House easily is the world leader in book-publishing, that argument carries great weight. That said, the article definitely needs improvement, but, in my opinion, clearly not deletion Cosimo d'Medici (talk) 17:07, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. For transparency's sake, Genericusername57 approached me in the past to ask about whether this award would be considered either notable or a vanity award. You can read my comments about that here. The basic gist is that the award has many of the hallmarks that the SFWA highlighted in their "Is this a vanity award?" article. However that said, whether or not this is a vanity award isn't really the important part, it's whether or not this has been covered in independent and reliable sources. The association with notable publishers doesn't really help give notability via association, as notability is WP:NOTINHERITED and TBH, most publishers and agents will encourage submission to various awards in order to increase sales. It doesn't matter what the award is, the fact is that having an award, any award, on a book cover helps sales. It's part of why vanity awards tend to have staying power, TBH. So the fact that this award has an association with a notable publisher doesn't really mean anything, nor does whether or not it's a vanity award. Neither of those will establish notability. (I'm not knocking what people have to do to get their book noticed - it's a tough market - but this association doesn't mean an award is notable.)

Now as far as coverage goes, there's very, very little out there. The coverage is either primary or it's local interest pieces. By primary I mean that they're stuff like press releases, publishers listing that their book won the award, the awards website, or the author making mention about the award on their site. Now with the local interest pieces, the issue with those is that these are typically done in the vein of "look at what someone in our area did, isn't that neat" and in some cases, are done because they were approached by the author or their publicist. Now while self-published sources are almost always unusable as sources, it's also fairly telling that the blogosphere isn't talking about this award either. There's also no sign of independent, secondary RS doing typical coverage such as listing the award winners, something that is fairly normal for notable awards. The fact that this doesn't seem to exist (outside of PR Web type deals) is pretty telling, particularly when you consider the dearth of other sourcing. To be frank, the only people that seem to be interested in covering this award are local papers and/or people/organizations with a strong COI since they stand to profit from mentioning that their product won an award.

At best this is a non-notable, relatively obscure legitimate award. At worst it's a non-notable, relatively obscure vanity award. Either way, it just doesn't pass notability guidelines at this point in time. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 13:06, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Another evidence towards it being a NN award is that when it comes to the Kingsolver win for Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, there's almost nothing out there about the award win. There is some primary coverage from her alma mater, but really not much else. (Of note, I also searched using Newspapers.com and the general search terms of "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" and "Nautilus Award".) She may not be as wildly big a name as say, Stephen King or Toni Morrison, but she's someone who would be more likely to get non-primary, non-local coverage in the news. There's not really a whisper out there about this award when it comes to non-primary or non-local sourcing. Also of note is that the official website for the book doesn't even mention this award (performing a search using "site:animalvegetablemiracle.com Nautilus"), giving more credence to this being a non-notable award if even the recipient doesn't think to include it on the website promoting the book. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 18:13, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, I also looked for the Chopra book as well. I saw that it was mentioned on PBS, however I noted that the page was written a bit like a press blurb. Sure enough, a search brought up the same text on multiple different sites. This means that it almost certainly wasn't PBS that wrote the content, rather it was most likely something written by a publicist that would have a vested interest in making Chopra look as good as possible (not that he needs it given how well known he is, mind you). So what we need are things not written by a publicist or other primary source. A search only brought up this mention in a press release or other primary sources. The lack of independent, secondary sourcing here is also fairly telling given that Chopra is even more of a well-known person than Kingsolver and there's still almost no buzz about this other than some weak coverage using press releases. Also like Kingsolver, I looked this up on Newspapers.com, using the search terms "Book of Secrets", "Chopra" and "Nautilus". For two notable authors, there was a very noticeable lack of coverage, which I see as further evidence towards the award being non-notable.

~~Keep~~. The website of the highly notable, world famous zen-master Thích Nhất Hạnh - a friend of Martin Luther King and an interviewee of Oprah Winfrey - presents Thay's book (Thích Nhất Hạnh is usually referred to by his nickname Thay) The Art of Living as being a Nautilus winner: https://plumvillage.org/articles/the-art-of-living-has-won-gold-for-the-nautilus-award/ For the notability of Thích Nhất Hạnh, check the Wikipedia article about him. So when his official website in Plum Village - Thích Nhất Hạnh both founded the Plum Village monastry and has lived there for the most of his life, but due to ill-health he is presently in Vietnam - proudly, so it clearly seems, refers to his book as a Nautilus winner as a notable thing, it should not be disregarded.

Also, the world's greatest online forum of readers, Goodreads, presents a list of the Nautilus winners on their website, e.g. here: https://www.goodreads.com/award/show/2014-nautilus-book-award. And NB Goodreads does not list every literary awards but only some of those they take to be notable. So by including the Nautilus awards in this esteemed company, Goodreads obviously consider them to be notable.

The New Yorker: Sarah Stillman, PhD in philosophy from Oxford, one of the world's top 5 universities, is staff writer at The New Yorker, one of the world's most notable literary newspapers.

Delete - Simply fails WP:GNG. What these awards rely on is that the people they give awards to talk about it. Literally none of the references to famous people or notable organizations talking about awards they've won helps satisfy notability here.

It's news to me that universities aren't assumed to rate articles here. I mean, even high schools always have.

On the other hand, I dunno. Looking for sources... there's this in the Daily Asian Age which looks like an article but is actually an ad. There is this in The Conversation which looks like an article but is actually an ad. There is this at the Daily Observer which looks like an article but is actually an ad... I mean, this does look kind of sketchy. On the other hand, here is a full article at BDNews24.com, and here is a follow-up article. True, these articles are apparently about the university is corrupt, but nobody says the article has to praise the university. If it's notable for being corrupt, let's go with that. Here's a small article in the Daily Star, granted, about an unnotable little ceremony. This is just an announcement... huh, here is an entry at "nu-edu-bd.ne" which the url looks like its kind of trying to pretend to be associated with the National University, Bangladesh but apparently isn't. At any rate, it's clearly a press release.

There is a thing called the The Asian Age which is notable and legit, but the Daily Asian Age is different and I'm guessing they print press releases to look like articles, presumably for a fee. So, here is a full (short) interview in that paper with the Vice Chancellor of Canadian University of Bangladesh. I mean, it's softball questions that just give him a chance to say good things about the university ("What is the main strength of the university?" etc), so take that for what it's worth... Here is something at "eng.campuslive24.com" which I guess is legit, but it's just a routine bit about a single seminar... oh, The Independent has a (very short) article here and looks legit, and here is something from them, granted another routine announcement of a celebration. And there's some other stuff already in the article.

All these routine announcements aren't much by themselves, but taken together they show that there's some coverage of the university in the papers, enough to base an article on, particularly if we add a section about the (apparently notable) land transfer scandal (EDIT: which I have now done). Herostratus (talk) 14:58, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:HEY is in play now I contend, as I about doubled the article size with a couple of refs to extensive articles in a legit major news source. Much better article now I think. And I'm confident the University would be pleased to see that our material is now more in-depth and covers more facets of their institution, heh. And the other refs I found above can be used to flesh out the top of the article a bit more if desired. Herostratus (talk) 15:57, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Is Wikipedia usually into covering scandals or gossip? Especially in cases where they don't go anywhere and both parties involved deny any wrong doing? --Adamant1 (talk) 21:44, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For institutions, I guess, if it's described at notable length in notable sources. For scandals. For gossip, not so much, but this isn't gossip. It's a serious allegation of malfeasance by a government agency. Everybody always denies wrongdoing, and anyway we reported their denial, and the reader can look at the sources if she wants more, and RAJUK didn't deny that it happened, just that it's nitpicking to worry about it, which of course they would say that. If all this concerned an individual we'd be a lot more circumspect per WP:BLP. Herostratus (talk) 18:01, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I don't think it's OK to make unsubstituted, un-verified claims in an article about a company any more then it is to make them in biographical article. There still has to be more for something to be encyclopedic then "he said, she said." Notable sources or not. Since the notable sources are not getting the information from proven, reliable ones or from evidence due to their own research. Like we wouldn't put in an article about a company that they abuse their employees just because a few employees said so and it was printed somewhere in the absence of anything else to back it up. Like you say, at this point there is just an allegation of malfeasance. How is an allegation any different then gossip? It's still someone saying something about someone else and there being zero real world evidence to backup their claim. Sure, people can just read the sources if they want to know more, but that could go for anything and the point in articles is not to refer people to other websites to get relevant details about a topic. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:52, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, no, the sources are fine, it's just that with an individual we would ask "it it kind, or necessary, to include this?" We don't have to be as sensitive to non-living entities. So OK, we're not saying the allegations are true, we're just saying that've been made. By BDnews24 which looks to be legit major news source, and after investigation by a legit actual investigative reporter named Obaidur Masum, who seems to be a legit working reporter. And we're talking about an accusation made by a ministry, not some rando reporter. And it's notable for the reader for learning about the entity, I think.

So, by all means, if BDnews24 and/or Obaidur Masum are unreliable, show us. If the main facts in the article are not true or may not be true, show us. If the Bangladesh Ministry of Housing and Public Works did not accuse RAJUK of defying the High Court, show us. (I'm dubious that making up stuff like that out of thin air would not fit BDnews24's business model, but I'm willing to be educated.) Even it it did, maybe they article is cherry-picking facts, and show us.

We do have "Both the University and RAJUK denied malfeasance" at the end. By all means we could expand on that some (and you're welcome to do so): "Both the University and RAJUK denied malfeasance, because ______, and they also said ________ and _____." Looking at the source articles, let's see...

No RAJUK officials responded to questions on how they changed the category of the plot even after the High Court instructed otherwise. RAJUK member Abul Kalam Azad, who signed the work letter submitted to the board meeting to change the type of the plot, refused to comment when the bdnews24.com correspondent met him in his office on Mar 4. "Why are you so interested about the Canadian University? Is it a national issue? There are many other things to write news about" he said.

which doesn't really sound like much of a denial, just saying.

Abdur Rahman, whose term as Rajuk chairman ended recently, declined to comment on the issue. He presided over the board meeting that cleared the proposal to allot the plot to the university on Dec 26... Incumbent Chairman Sultan Ahmed told bdnews24.com on May 2 that he knew nothing about it.

In the beginning of the statement [from the University], the university says: ":There has been a bid to belittle Dr Chowdhury Nafeez Sarafat, the founding chairman of the Canadian University of Bangladesh"... The private university’s Acting Vice-Chancellor Nazrul Islam claimed the report is "imaginary, baseless, and intentional" in the statement. BDnews24.com, however, has failed to get the points raised in the statement despite carefully going over it.... It questions the use of Sarafat’s photo twice in the report and says: "The photos of the university and chairman have been presented very negatively in the report which is tantamount to libel." ..."The fact is, it can never constitute a change of category if a land for secondary school is given to a university because both are educational institutions"...

Which is the heart of the matter, I guess. It is particularly the heart of the matter we're talking about a not-for-profit secondary school, and/or if the Canadian University is a for-profit institution (but even if not, there's room for grift I am sure). The paper responded with:

In line with the rules of journalism, it is a matter of public interest when the Supreme Court of the country and the highest relevant level of the executive raise objection to something.

Which seems reasonable to me.

I'm sure its a fine institution and by all means, it'd be great to add more info to the article about other things about the University -- notable scholars they have employed, notable works produced under their aegis, notable things students have done, interesting programs they run, their plans for the future, info about their size and so forth, and how they are structured as a corporation, etc etc. etc. I haven't found sources for that stuff right off, but there's probably a lot in Bengali. Herostratus (talk) 14:32, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really care about the news reporter who wrote the article. Whatever their credentials are, it still doesn't negate the fact that the story is still purely based on hearsay. I'd be totally fine with it if there was something like a court case or at least a legal filing, but someone just saying a crime was committed in absence of either of those is not reliable and shouldn't be in the article.

"Someone said someone did something" in absence of anything solid is extremely run of the mill and non-encyclopedic. Otherwise almost every article for a celebrity would have a "accusations of sexual harassment" section. Wikipedia isn't a tabloid though. Just because it's a company and not a person doesn't negate that or make it OK for articles about companies to be tabloidish. Period.

Way more so in this case because disputes and problems over land deals/zoning are pretty routine events, happen all the time, and yet the article frames a pretty run of the mill land dispute as if it's a scandal, because that's how your wrote and are framing it. When it really isn't a scandal and from what I can tell the sources don't even refer to it as one. Only you have and likely only because such weasel words make the whole thing seem more notable then it actually is. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:14, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I hear you. Guess we'll agree to disagree. This can be discussed at the article talk page, when and if the article is kept; or, you could go there now and advocate to get the material removed, or reduced, and if you are successful quickly enough that could affect the article's retention chances. I don't know as it's a good look to try to remove value from an article that's at AfD though.

And if you are successful, I'm still for keeping the article on the grounds that after all proof of existence has always been sufficient for keeping articles on secondary schools let alone universities, and that beyond proof of existence there's probably sufficient ref'd material to make a short and poor, but acceptable, article which can be improved over time as they gain coverage. Herostratus (talk) 00:25, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm good. I rather discuss things that adversely effect an AfD in the AfD. That might just be me though. That said, if I want to remove content from the article that goes against the guidelines, I can just remove the content. People don't need to "advocate" for changing an article to actually reflect how the sources portray an event or to remove weasel words. Anyway, at least you don't deny the fact that you intentionally used the word "scandal" to make the land dispute seem notable then it actually is. I guess it's on the "voters" if they think calling something that's otherwise extremely trivial a "scandal" is worth keeping the article over. IMO it's not.

Let alone do I think it's worth keeping the article now in lack of it being notable as a subject so it can be "improved" later when there's actually notable coverage on it. In the meantime, advocating for keeping a "poor" article just in case it can be improved in the future is a bad look if there ever was one. Articles are extremely easy to recreate in the future when there's actually good coverage. So there's zero need, let alone valid reason, to keep it now "just because." --Adamant1 (talk) 05:15, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
