Cluster of poorly sourced articles for various categories of a regional film and television award. All but one of these are sourced exclusively to the awarding organization's own self-published content about itself, rather than any evidence that the awards get reliable source coverage in WP:GNG-worthy media, and the only one that does cite any outside sources at all just cites a small smattering of community hyperlocals and blogs, alongside what's still mostly the award's own self-published content about itself, and just one proper article in a major daily newspaper that actually verifies all of the winners (but not the nominees) that year. As always, award categories aren't automatically notable just because the presentations are technically verifiable on their own website — the notability test is the reception of third-party coverage in real media, but I've tried to source Leo Awards stuff properly in the past, and it's almost impossible because they just don't consistently get the necessary media coverage. And for added bonus, most of these have not been properly updated in years; only two of them go past 2016 at all, and even one of those stops at 2017, with only Musical Score in a Documentary having been updated all the way to 2021. These awards just aren't highly notable enough to get the comprehensive "standalone category articles" treatment that the Oscars, the Emmys or the Canadian Screen Awards get, because the depth of media coverage necessary to support that just isn't there.
(Also, I struggle to understand why technical craft categories like picture editing and production design in children's television were somehow more important for us to have articles about than topline categories like Best Picture, which nobody has ever created at all, but that's a story for another day.)

This is a page about the husband / business partner of fashion designer Orla Kiely. Rowan's input appears to be entrepreneurial rather than artistic, so WP: CREATIVE doesn't apply. The businesses with which Rowan has been involved are not notable enough to have the their own WP pages: the references are mainly focused on Kiely and her artistic work. In short, I feel the page fails WP:NOTINHERITED. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 16:38, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. While on a simple nose count this would seem a "no consensus", none of the "Keep" arguments addressed the assertion that this article fails the GNG. With such an assertion, passing "NFOOTY" is not a relevant argument, and so is discounted. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:05, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot of PR sources - some explicitly labeled so, others given away by promotional text. Couldn't find anything to pass WP:NCORP. hemantha (brief) 04:01, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – As per WP:THREE, with these sources: [2], [3], [4], extra: [5]. I had also added a few google book sources ([6], [7]) when I had made improvements to the article last week. The company's finances are also covered in an Economic Times profile: [8]. On the existing aritcle, I don't know if mentions in these market/complaint reports count: [9], [10]. I suggest stubifying it to the reliably sourced material. If the article absolutely needs to be deleted, please draftify it instead. I am happy to take up the challenge of improving it, but I won't be able to hunt for offline sources at the local library or Times of India office for the next several weeks at least.

Notability requirements for companies is much more demanding than WP:GNG. None of the links you mention (many are already in the article) pass the requirements of NCORP. For eg, ToI article on an award by a little known society is promotional and does not appear independent (it all started, the uniqueness of these products, established new standards, the most modern way). Business Line and the two Financial Express articles are routine product launch coverage. ET/BI profiles are basically just pro-forma stock pages. I encourage you to read WP:NCORP once carefully. (I also note that your sources aren't quite the ones to pass WP:THREE; none are independent) hemantha (brief) 06:37, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks for the feedback. I vote to draftify, in that case. 2405:201:1006:E03A:A573:938A:59CF:9934 (talk) 07:24, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria. I have been unable to find any references that meet NCORP criteria, topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing 08:47, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shree Rapaka (or Shri Rapaka)

  • Delete - An article should speak for itself and explain why its subject is notable, and this one does not establish either acting notability or general notability. (There is no special notability guideline for costume design, so that general notability is required.)
    • This page was already moved from article space to draft space once, and moved back by its author without even a statement that the reviewer's concerns have been addressed (because they haven't been), so that now a deletion discussion is needed.
    • A review of the references shows that there are mostly photographs of the actress, likely in clothing that she has designed for herself, with a lot of verbiage about her beauty, and no significant coverage.

Ref 1: [11] That is non-RS. It is a event listing.
Ref 2: [12] Another event listing. It is non-RS.
Ref 3: [13] Meet the performs. It is a passing mention at best, for a performance listing.
Ref 4: [14] Another event listing. A passing mention. Non-RS.
Ref 5: [15] An annoucement of a concert. Can't be used to establish notability.
Ref 6: [16] Press-release. Non-RS.
Ref 7: [17] Another annoucement. Press-release.
Ref 8: [18] Another scheduled annoucement.

Not a single reference in that first block, prove that he is notable with WP:SECONDARY source. The following was added after I created the Afd.

[19] Looks like a review but is an affiliate article.
[20] This is an event schedule.
[21] Describes another violinst Edward Hardy being taught by Fulks. It is a passing mention at best in two small paragraphs.

The rest is scheduling events refs, dodgy links like IMDB and discogs. It is utterly absurd the amount of work that has went into creating an article with 27 references that is a BLP with one review, to state its a strong keep. A single review is insufficient for a BLP. An it is likely non-RS as its a free magazine and look fringe.scope_creepTalk 14:23, 15 February 2022 (UTC) *Strong Keep[reply]

  • Comment After a 2-minute Google search, I found another review and a non-dodgy music source by Classical Archives to add to this article. scope_creep's claim only proves this article is an excellent addition to the Wikipedia community and supports the claim of gathering help by adding more reliable sources about (Nathan) Jubal Fulks (i.e., violinist-stub). I'm not sure if a person/ page who has entries on WorldCat, Virtual International Authority File, and the United States Library of Congress constitutes as Non-notable. Everyone is welcome to improve the order of sources or update its references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benedict2021 (talkcontribs) 07:13, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Benedict2021: You have ready indicated at Strong Keep. You can't do it twice. If you have a review, post the url is the common method, so it can discussed. Entries on worldcat, via and entry in the congress don't cut it, on here. What does count is independent, secondary sources. Reviews count. If you have these, post them up, so they can be reviwed. Talking about sources, doesn't count. Evidence does thought. Please post it up. scope_creepTalk 10:10, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Benedict2021: I had to revert the article. Those two references you put were really low quality. One is a blog and one is a musical recording archive site, similar to discogs. Neither constitute a decent ref. scope_creepTalk 18:16, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG through lack of significant coverage; many partial mentions, but no significant coverage. All sources currently provided are primary sources.

It is possible though not certain that it meets WP:GEOLAND, but if it does that only provides a presumption of notability, and in this case that presumption appears to be false. BilledMammal (talk) 21:16, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This is surely a joke. The reasons given would apply to many small localities in Australia. I and many others have invested thousands of hours to ensure that these articles contain as much useful information as is contained in the sources available to us. For our readers they serve to flesh out their knowledge and understanding of this vast country, which is surely one of the roles of an encyclopedia. Downsize43 (talk) 23:01, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If this is all the information that exists on it, then it cannot be kept, as it violates WP:PRIMARY; Do not base an entire article on primary sources. The reader also doesn't benefit from such articles; they would be better off if redirected to a list of localities. BilledMammal (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    How can references 2 and 4 be regarded as primary sources? They are summaries of information in primary sources provided by the Tasmanian Government, therefore secondary in my book. Reference 1 is also a summary of information from the primary sources, the census forms completed by households. Downsize43 (talk) 01:20, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I think it does pass being legally recognized per GEOLAND as I don't think a place has to be a municipality or district. An official figure from a census seems to pass this and anyway it can be seen from GeoNames that there is also a settlement by this name. Also it has coverage from an independent source about its name origin which I think is also a good indicator of notability. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:51, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Kind of a reasonably common name, so web searches don't "stand out" as easily. I would encourage an enthusiastic editor to draftify and work on the content/sources to be more clear and then re-introduce the article.

All involved, I would be happy to expand the article as it is with some of the sources I and others have posted in this thread with no need to draftify.

  • Comment It looks like the elections are every four years, and the article on Elections_in_Sweden has a section on municipal elections linking to the 2002 elections for various municipalities that is marked as needing to be updated. So one of the issues with this article is that it is very much out of date, or at least it's an odd duck since there aren't articles for the subsequent years. I'd recommend to merge this info with Pajala Municipality, which has some election information already and seems to be more up-to-date. Lamona (talk) 05:08, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I prodded this five years ago with the concern "All sourcing tied to The Chess Variant Pages, which appears to be an indiscriminate collection of variant chess pieces and provides no evidence of notability. Internet searches suggest that alternative sources do not exist." It was unprodded by Double sharp, asking to "to wait a bit for Ihardlythinkso's stores of material". The subsequent five years have seen a total of three non-substantive edits to the article, and more recent internet searches do not reveal any further reliable sources.

In response to your comment: what is going on is that something popped up on my watchlist which caused me to look through the history of some articles I had edited 5 years ago, and to notice the circumstances described in the nominations.

Looks to be a promo piece with "journalistic" sources of dubious reliability. The first source, USAWire[24], looks to be a press release / PR piece, with the author working for a PR bureau[25]. The second source, LAProgressive[26] isn't any better. The author, "Seja Desai", doesn't seem to exist, and her picture[27] is a cropped part of a generic "Asian beauty" image[28] taken in Iran[29]. The final source, Forbes[30] is nearly identical to the first one, and has no author at all.

Looking for better sources gave me only this, yet another PRwire message. All in all, seems to be someone keen to promote themselves and savvy enough to find places which look at first legitimate but are actually just empty shells, rehashing PR messages. Fails WP:N.

Time to revisit this after 10 years! Seems to me to be a non-notable localised league/association. A google search only brings up localised sources, nothing too widespread, quite difficult to establish WP:GNG; searches of Trove appear to return WP:ROUTINE coverage, i.e. scorecards and fixture announcements. It fails WP:CRIN via WP:OFFCRIC from my interpretation, as it is not of Grade standard.

I proposed this article for deletion 5 years ago. Since then, there has been 0 substantive improvement. There is one source in the article, which appears to be an undiscerning aggregator of invented chess variant pieces, and I do not believe other sources exist. Certainly this is not the most notable thing named "Centaur" related to chess: that seems to be either a commercial chessboard computer or the notion described in our article Advanced Chess.

  • If one goes to fairy chess piece one finds that this is supposed to be a piece from H. G. Albers' 1821 chess variant named Courier-Spiel. But that piece was named the Counsellor/Councillor (Cazaud & Knowlton 2017, pp. 269–270 Verney 1885, p. 154), not the Centaur. It is no wonder that people haven't been able to expand this. It has the wrong title, the wrong description, and even the wrong symbol. Why would we want to merge this when it's wrong in almost every way?

Tenuous notability at best. Most references are opinion pieces, cursory reviews or public relations-fueled pieces. The website is written about briefly in the book Dataclysm (where the content on it is self-published), where it is noted that it was only online for a couple of months in 2010 before being shut down again. Together with the terrible sources and the unencyclopedic tone, the subject arguably falls a bit foul of WP:NOTNEWS.

      The article notes: "Called Crazy Blind Date, the recently launched Web site eliminates online profiles and sets up users on blind dates, sometimes in as quickly as a few hours. ... He launched the free site last November, and it now has 10,000 members, who he said have gone on 90,000 blind dates. ... Crazy Blind Date, on the other hand, requires no such sifting through profiles and messaging back and forth. This means users have little time to build up unreasonable expectations that may be dashed to pieces when reality bites."

      The article notes: "Kevin Hjelden, a programmer who goes by the nom de web FryGuy and blogs on a site called Burnt Popcorn, has written a program that turns the digitally scrambled headshots of Crazy Blind Date users back into recognizable portraits. ... Although "Blind" is right there in its name, it's not clear how central that aspect might be to the user experience. The primary purpose of the app, which some 130,000 people have downloaded so far, is to get people to spend less time snooping each other's profiles and more time actually going on low-investment first dates. Knowing what the person you're meeting looks like wouldn't necessarily be an obstacle to that."

      The article notes: "In truth, the most radical part of Crazy Blind Date (whose name and basic concept OK Cupid toyed with in an earlier form more than five years ago) may be the way users are asked to express their satisfaction or lack thereof. After a date's conclusion, the participants are invited to rate each other by purchasing "kudos." Spending a few dollars implies that a date was enjoyable, or at least that one's partner might be a good catch for someone else; spending nothing says you wouldn't want to be set up with someone like that again."

The idea of meeting up with a total stranger with so little information (and none of the personal verification a close friend or colleague might provide in a “real world” blind date scenario) sounds incredibly dangerous. And if not dangerous, well, then, sort of a waste of time. As any woman who’s spent any time on the site can attest, women get bombarded with messages from completely inappropriate suitors all the time. Which is to say, most women have very little faith in OKCupid’s powers of accuracy. Plus, you don’t even have to have an OKCupid profile to use the service — which means there’s even less vetting than normal."

      The article notes: "All you can see about the other person is one sliced up photo of them, and your OK Cupid match percentage. Hence, “Blind Date”. Unfortunately, what adds the “Crazy” is the fact that the match percentage is a somewhat blunt tool, and you know *literally nothing else* about the other person. For an example of how wrong that can go, here’s an example of conversation between two people who are (in theory) 92 per cent matches:"

      The article quotes from three experts: Sam Ewen (CEO of Interference), Gary Kremen (founder of Match.com), and Theresia Gouw Ranzetta (general partner at Accel Partners). The quote from Gary Kremen says: "A dating site can succeed only if it attracts a lot of women, and that's the problem with CrazyBlindDate. For any dating site, women, not men, are the customers. Women don't want a crazy blind date; they want safety and security, and they don't want to feel embarrassed. I would take the money they're spending on PR and put it toward affiliate marketing to women. Yagan and Coyne are clearly smart guys: They should start thinking about how to lower the cost of customer acquisition and build a differentiated audience."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Crazy Blind Date to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

    • Comment: Barely any of these sources approach serious, reliable content. Most are either conversational-style opinion pieces, literal dating reviews, or self-evident re-prints of press release materials (e.g. here, or see anything that had the word "launches" in the headline - dead give away). Not a single one of these pieces discusses the subject from a serious, analytical news perspective, so they are the weakest of the weak in terms of secondary sourcing, and quite a few are at least partially based on an interview, so primary. At least half of the platforms are also not perennial reliable sources. The Inc article, a reprint of a Bloomberg Businessweek piece, is the closest to a serious, secondary business piece on the subject, so I make that a count of precisely one halfway decent source. I agree that it should redirect to OKCupid (as per the note by Ravenswing), as the service was launched by and was always a part of OKCupid and so can quite duly sit within an article on that company (where it already is).

  • Merge and redirect any reliably-sourced content to OkCupid#History. It seems like most of the sources provided above relate to OkCupid's acquisition of and subsequent activities as the parent of Crazy Blind Date, so I don't think there is standalone notability to warrant an article. However, there is enough to add to the single sentence about it presented at the target article. Granted, some of the sources aren't the greatest, but selective use of what is presumably reliable without resorting to refbombing looks doable. --Kinu t/c 18:58, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or Merge per the evidence from Cunard. I understand users on Wikipedia have been skeptical about certain reputable publications having their credibility hijacked by PR conflicts of interest, but can someone tell me what proportion of the sources were PR? The Forbes sources, for example are editorial and written by staff, so WP:FORBESCONTRIBUTOR definitely does not apply. Also, Kinu is kind of wrong in stating the acquisition and its related activities are most of the topic's coverage. There's the reviews Cunard provided plus a Forbes piece of the vision of the site from the individual behind it (and no, it's not an WP:INTERVIEW just because it uses interview quotes, it's a fully written piece with interview quotes here and there) 👨x🐱 (Nina CortexxCoco Bandicoot) 19:27, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    100% disagree about the Forbes pieces - on is a piece that is clearly based almost solely on an interview with the founder, and the other is an editorial opinion piece referencing that same interview, using the very words "in my interview..." Iskandar323 (talk) 19:58, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That's not how it works. A piece written by an independent author, with his own prose of the site, being "based" on an interview (by the fact that it incorporates interview info even if it's paraphrasing or the quotes are interspersed) is not the same thing as a source where the transcript of the interview is the entire page (meaning with no written content from another author), which WP:INTERVIEW prohibits. This part of the essay makes that clear: "At the other end are interviews that show a depth of preparation, such as those that include a biography. An interview presented as investigative journalism of the sort we associate with 60 Minutes can be helpful. In these interviews, the interview material is often interspersed with the interviewer's own secondary analysis and thoughts." 👨x🐱 (Nina CortexxCoco Bandicoot) 02:02, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe I minced my words too much, but that entire article is quite clearly the bare minimum paraphrasing of the input from the subject and extremely primary in nature - there is barely a shred of any secondary analysis at work. Judging by the overall tone of the piece, I would not be surprised if it was paid. But no matter, we clearly just have different editorial standards.
