Articles on this credential were deleted at AfD in 2009 and again in 2010 (the latter discussion weighed down by a lot of puppetry), at which time it was offered by an American Academy of Financial Management. This new instance has been created in recent weeks (as has an article on a Global Academy of Finance and Management which apparently acquired various pieces of the AAFM's IPR in 2015). Given the passage of time, this probably needs another AfD to re-establish consensus, though RJC's comments in the 2010 AfD seem applicable here regarding the AAFM/GAFM credential. (A complication is that Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment offer a qualification of this name, covered briefly at Professional_certification_in_financial_services#CISI_Qualifications, but not mentioned in the present article.)

per WP:TOOSOON. All sources are based on the announcement of the green-light which revealed plot and cast, with plans to go into production. No other coverage has been presented, and no evidence that filming has begun. Per WP:NFF, this should not be in the mainspace. Relevant sourced content is already found at The_Loud_House#Television_film. Article could exist in Draft space in the prospect that it receives more coverage upon release.

- Draftify No real sources...and we don't even know the runtime, which could just be regular episode length. Removed the cast section, which is a bad attempt to make the article look larger than it actually is. Nate • (chatter) 15:40, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Second comment Not noted in the rationale, but this is a live-action film, not an animated project (confused me at first). Still removed the cast because it was a bloated section. Nate • (chatter) 17:23, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment Fan of The Loud House myself and have been adding/editing info regarding the upcoming live-action film there... just wanting to confirm that despite what the article/draft may currently say, filming/production has certainly begun- filming began around April/May (not sure how long it actually lasted, but...

There must surely be something written about this man, although it is hard to find stuff about Africa and from twenty years ago online.

- Delete and Salt until closer to the event per WP:CRYSTAL.4meter4 (talk) 01:22, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - The event is only a few months away, it's common to have an article created in advance of the event actually happening. There seems to be plenty of evidence that the event is actually going to occur. Per WP:BEFORE, I found an article published a week ago that mentions the upcoming event. The original article was deleted back in February, which is admittedly a bit too early for an article on an event in December. But we're a lot closer now. —ScottyWong— 20:23, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, and definitely do not salt. Salting is a ridiculous action for a page that is likely to be needed very soon. The page is no longer an exact duplicate of the deleted article, so the nomination is now out of date and invalid. It contains sourced information on the impact of Covid on the event. If nothing else, it will become an article on the event cancellation – this is an important event in the ice skating calendar, it will be a big story either way, cancelled or going ahead. The criticism that some of the refs return "No information available" is entirely to be expected. Those are the refs for the official results, so until there are some actual results that is going to remain the case. SpinningSpark 12:11, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Neologism failing WP:NEO. No reliable sources given for this term and the only sources I can find on the web are blogs, wikis and other non-reliable sources. It’s just not a term that anyone uses other than casually. Andyjsmith (talk) 12:56, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Astronomy-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 13:31, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: Like Andyjsmith, I've searched for information about "Astrooceanography", and found mostly, blogs, wikis, etc, many of them clearly derived from the Wikipedia article. Evidently "Astrooceanography" is not a recognised field under that name. However, there is certainly research relating to oceans on other planets, so is it recognised as a field, but under another name, or is this article merely a synthesis by Wikipedia editors of bits of information from different places into a novel unified concept?
My personal feeling is that the article contains significant content on a meaningful topic, and I would like to keep it, under whatever name. However, after the countless times I have told editors that keeping something because one personally likes it, rather than because Wikipedia policy supports keeping it is unacceptable, I can scarcely justify acting contrary to what I have preached to so many others for so long. I therefore have to say Delete unless someone can find reliable sources which treat this as a recognised scientific field in its own right, not a collection of individual examples with no source connecting them together; if anyone can find sources which do that, then it should be keep and rename to whatever name those sources use.JBW (talk) 14:18, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep and rename to Planetary oceanography. After posting my message above, I had the brainwave of searching for that title, and found multiple sources. I'll come back and post links to some of them later, but at present I'm editing on my phone, and doing the necessary checking to decide which sources are suitable would be too fiddly. JBW (talk) 14:27, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. I don’t think it matters if it’s not a proper field, as long as people are actually ‘’doing’’ planetary oceanography then it’s a thing and we should cover it. Andyjsmith (talk) 15:13, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: The term I see used is "exo-oceanography". Praemonitus (talk) 16:44, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep and rename to Exo-oceanography per Praemonitus. Googling it, it seems to be the same concept, and it looks like there's academic or at the very least reliable sources using that term. casualdejekyll (talk) 17:42, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. and rename as Praemonitus suggests. DGG ( talk ) 01:14, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. As the nominator I’m happy to close this early as Keep and Rename. But I get the impression that Planetary oceanography is in wider use than Exo-oceanography and seems to me to be a more natural term. Any thoughts? Andyjsmith (talk) 22:35, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- It's a new sub-field so it probably hasn't converged on a particular name yet. We can always change it when one becomes more common. Praemonitus (talk) 00:40, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Valid point. I'm going to rename it to Planetary oceanography because that's more self explanatory and set up a redirect page at Exo-oceanography. Andyjsmith (talk) 11:49, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV. As a Czar he has significant coverage where he is the main subject. The best of which is James Janega (June 21, 2009). "Guardian of the Great Lakes: Obama Names Cameron Davis to organize restoration effort". Chicago Tribune. p. 3a.; a substantial article on Davis. Additionally, he has been criticized in media in that role in major publications like: "Obama's Many Policy Czar's Draw Ire From Conservatives". The Washington Post. 16 September 2009. p. A6 S. The Czar position was controvercial and has gotten significant coverage. This book provides some context to his role in the Obama administration which was divisive This book analyzes Davis's contributions to an article in The New York Times. There is a profile of him in this book. Here are a few articles he was interviewed for: [15], [16], Other coverage, includes [17], [18], [19], [20], Additionally, there are a lot of primary government sources in google books, and there are many articles in Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, and The New York Times in which he is interviewed for his opinions or policy making in regards to water management/ environmental issues extending back to the mid 1990s.

- Rename -- I would suggest Eastern Catholic territories dependent on patriarchs. This is essentially a list article, so that it does not require sources: the sources will be within the articles listed. Part of my reason for wanting a rename is that there appear to be three patriarchs involved, Jerusalem, Antioch and Babylon (Baghdad). Peterkingiron (talk) 14:30, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Peterkingiron: This lists five patriarchs. And I do not see why the exact same information one can find on this website should be put on Wikipedia, as it would not provide any added value especially since the article does not reliably define the subject of the article. Veverve (talk) 14:39, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- That is certainly a source. However, as I read the linked articles, there are three Catholic denominations (rites), each with its own patriarch, who directly exercises jurisdiction over a non-diocesan territory. I thought this was worth ONE article. I did not find this clearly expressed on gcatholic website. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:59, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

This page was previously nominated 13 years ago: it was kept on the basis that they had toured, received national airplay (including a Peel session) and released two albums. Simply gigging and releasing albums don't meet the current criteria at WP:NBAND. While it's possible that a Peel session would fulfill criterion no. 12, I'm not convinced that this alone warrants the band having an article: over 4000 sessions were held, and I would argue that this alone doesn't get the band over the bar. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 08:33, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep the Melody Maker was one of the UK's main music publications for many years until it was merged with NME, it's certainly not a niche publication. To be covered regularly by its journalists is a strong indication of notability and there are other reliable book sources in the article. The delete vote by the editor claiming there are no sources is highly negligent in my view and one of many quick fire votes for which an editor has warned them on their talkpage.

I added refs to the article for those, and a review by critic Leonard Maltin. As such, it was not "direct to video" and with multiple independent reviews passes GNG and NFILM.

- Delete per WP:NOT. For Wikipedia's purposes, Nagarukhra is a neologism pushed by multiple editors in wiki and maybe some people in the real world. The Nagarukrah campaign has been running in Wikipedia for six years, and the only supporting references have been user-generated content. Other efforts include a walled garden of stubs (e.g. [22] and [23]) that make census-recognized villages parts of Nagarukrah. One stated rationale for deleting Ukrah in favor of Nagarukrah is to push new information into Google and Google maps.[24] This is all contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. • Gene93k (talk) 15:23, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Per Google maps (link), Ukrha and Nagarukhra are over 100 miles / 160km apart. Not sure why Nagarukhra was repeatedly redirected to Ukrha nor why the numerous attempts were made to hijack Ukrah.

- Google Maps takes some of its information from user-generated sources, including OpenStreetMap. Multiple hoax settlements have been introduced into Wikipedia this way (e.g. Midzemuthleiy, Delaware). In this case, the Ukrah found at the link is Ukra in Paschim district (no relation). Nagarukra has replaced Ukrah in Nadia district on Google Maps. There may be a real-world campaign on the ground, but there is nothing beyond user-generated content to confirm that, never mind anything official. Editors assert that Nagarukra town that has absorbed Ukrah and adjacent villages in Nadia district. There is no reliable evidence. • Gene93k (talk) 22:18, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

- Additional comment: The article's creator has updated it with content and citations. However, the verifiable content is copied from Ukrah, including the citations.

- Comment Lets examine the sources then.
- Ref 1 and 2. Can't be used to establish notability. They are red in the NPP script as unreliable.
- Ref 3. Is undefined but a web search finds О’скар which is a nano profile and is non-RS. An image and instagram links. It is junk.
- Ref 4. Translation of the artile title: An interview in the entertainment section.
- Ref 5. Non-RS is a listing of radio programs.
- Ref 6. He got beat up, report.
- Ref 7. Annoucement.
- Ref 8 is a dead link.
- Ref 9 is a Gazetta, the only real secondary source.
There some minor coverage but not sufficient for an article. 5 of the 9 references are junk, one is an interview, one is a court report of being beat up and one is a real secondary source. The article subject posits themselves as a singer. They're is no evidence been provided that the subject is a singer.

- Keep. This artist was very famous in the 90's. That's why he got the Golden Gramophone award. Due to some issues with his producer he had to stop using the artistic name Oscar and migrated to the US. Right now she's less famous under a new artistic name and gender than he used to be 20 years ago. At least the sources #17 and #22 are good enough. Dr.KBAHT (talk) 01:48, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. The allegation is that the William Stafford Jones entry fails the general notability guideline for significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV). The guideline states:
- A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject . . . ‘Significant coverage’ addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.”
- “Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage” are presumed to be notable. (Notability_(people)#Politicians_and_judges)
- The Jones entry clearly meets the “significant coverage” standard. The entry cites articles over a nine-year period, involving multiple political issues, where Jones is either the main topic or among the main topics of the coverage. These articles provide extensive information about Jones such that the entry relies on no original research and every factual claim in the entry is supported by referenced authorities.
- (Aside: The entry contains some references where Jones is not the main topic, but these references provide authority for other background statements in the entry. That reference style is consistent with the notability guidelines. WP:SIGCOV: “These guidelines only outline how suitable a topic is for its own article or list. They do not limit the content of an article or list.”)
- Significant coverage is established by (at minimum) the following references in the entry:
- Curry, Christopher (2012-09-15). "Legislator files elections complaint against Alachua County GOP chief". Gainesville Sun. The article reports about a state election complaint that was filed against Jones. Jones is featured prominently in the article’s sub-headline: “A state senator has filed an elections complaint against Stafford Jones over a political committee Jones chairs that is sending out mailers attacking Democratic legislative candidates while listing no contributions or expenditures.” Jones is the main topic of the article, mentioned or referred to in almost every paragraph of the article.
- Morgan, Watkins (2014-08-16). "Robocalls using Crist's words from 2006 defended, assailed". Gainesville Sun. The sub-headline reads: “Alachua County Republican Executive Committee Chairman Stafford Jones has drawn some recent attention this election season for a controversial robocall.” Jones is the focus of the article, and the article notes that Jones has a history of controversial campaigning tactics.
- Dixon, Matt (2015-07-16). "Depositions show Florida GOP push for favorable Senate lines". Politico. Numerous state and national outlets covered Jones’ involvement in Florida’s 2011 congressional redistricting that the Florida Supreme Court declared unconstitutional. A 2015 Politico article mentioned Jones 17 times (not including pronouns) and detailed what it described as Jones’ “starring role” in the gerrymandering process.
- Caplan, Andrew (2019-01-12). "Behind the scenes, Bainter pulls strings". Gainesville Sun. The article mentions Jones 21 times, not including numerous additional pronoun references. This longform article reports how dark money is influencing elections in Florida, and a central focus of the article is about how Jones is behind the money. A large section of the article titled, “The Money,” provides extensive background information on Jones and explains his influence in Florida politics.
- Henderson, John (2021-02-26). "Watchdog group: Nonprofits broke IRS laws, gave nearly $3 million to Republican campaigns". Gainesville Sun. The article is about how political committees headed by Jones broke IRS laws by failing to disclose millions of dollars in campaign contributions. Jones is the central figure of the story, he’s mentioned 16 times (not including pronouns), and his headshot is the only image in the article.
- User:Scope_creep claims, “None of [the entry’s references] are specific [sic] about him, many of them a [sic] bare search urls. . . In fact, not one of the 12 references is specificly [sic] about him…” ScopeCreep’s assertions are clearly and demonstrably false.

Notability Criteria
(Copied from talk page. Hopefully I'm doing this correctly.) I believe the band meets at least some of the following criteria. However, I'm new to Wikipedia so I do welcome input from others and discussion on the topic. I do realize the article has some problems as far as the actual writing goes, but that's more on me for not being an experienced writer, rather than the subject matter itself. Criteria I think are applicable:
- (1) Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, publisheed works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.
There are articles by major news outlets in Puerto Rico (Noticentro, Primera Hora), a featured segment in talk show Pégate al Medio Día, and an interview in Maximum Ink Magazine from Wisconsin. These are all in the references for the article. - (10) Has performed music for a work of media that is notable.
Their single End of Days was used for a couple of weeks as the theme song for Puerto Rican TV show WWC, which is the main wrestling show in Puerto Rico. - (11) Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
Their single Four was played regularly on major Puerto Rican radio stations. I'm trying to find out if there's a log of what was played when, since there's no Puerto Rico music charts, our music charting gets lumped in with US as a whole, I believe. However, the radio play is mentioned in some of the references included in the article. This might take a good while to corroborate, I think I'll have to email the radio stations directly and ask if they have a link to an archive of some sort like that. It was about 10 years ago, so I'm not sure exactly, but I think AlfaRock (now AZ Rock Radio, they moved to online-only) may have been the main station to give them airplay, since it was the local rock radio station at the time.

- @Moony483: You know musicbio. I know the WP:MUSICBIO. I use it almost every day. Where is the references that show the band is notable, e.g. reviews of work, WP:SECONDARY sources that can satisfy musicbio. Ref 1,2, 4,5,6 are non-RS, meaning they are non-notable. Ref 3 is an interview, but every new band gets interviewed and its a local magazine, indicating its a local band. Where is the coverage, the reviews, the secondary sources. scope_creepTalk 11:09, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

- Comment Looking at the first 13 references:
- Ref 1,2,4,5,6, 10,11,12,13 are non-RS and can't be used to establish notability.
- Ref 3: Its an interview. Looks like a blog. No editorial board. Effectively non-RS.
- Ref 7 An annoucement that they are supporting Evanescence. Really poor.
- Ref 8 Review of a Evanescence gig.
- Ref 9 Data listing. Non-RS.
The rest are similar poor. The band is completky non-notable. There is no social media coverage. There is stream on Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, Amazon and Napster. They are non-notable at this time. scope_creepTalk 15:31, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Scope creep: Okay, I see what you mean. I have two questions, though. First, for references 10 - 13, I understand YouTube itself isn't generally considered a reliable source. However, the videos (if you look at them) are reuploads of content that was televised on a national TV network. I've been unable to find those episodes online, but the show itself is notable (has its own Wikipedia page) and in the videos you can hear the song playing. Is there a better way to cite that then? Simply saying those sources don't count seems kind of strange to me. Then my second question is regarding the airplay: it's been referenced in other places, but I myself don't know of a way to obtain tracklist records from 10 years ago (and as I noted, I've been trying to contact the radio stations about it to see if they can point me anywhere). However, that also doesn't mean that it didn't happen. What then? And a third question actually: is reference 5 non-reliable because of it being on YouTube? Because same situation as the wrestling TV show: it's content that was on national TV, the show is documented in the television network's own website (and still runs today actually), but I can't find the original video on their site so as to cite it from there. I have a similar issue with some radio interviews/shows (as noted in the article's talk page) where there are links on their Facebook page to the radio station's show, but the links are dead and I haven't been able to contact the station for a live link; however, that doesn't mean the interviews/shows never aired, it just measn I personally can't find them due to link rot. Naturally I understand the band themselves saying "we were interviewed" isn't reliable, but if the dead link is a link from the radio station's website and they're just sharing that, isn't that a third party?
I appreciate you taking the time to look over this and explain more thoroughly, because honestly I'm still just trying to learn and understand how Wikipedia works. I'm not attempting to discredit your knowledge, I'm asking genuine questions, that's all.
- Delete No evidence of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. The sources presented are almost entirely social media and there is little more apparent in searching. The few other sources are mere mentions in RS, which cannot be considered to be evidence of notability.

They are NOT blogs. The topic meets Wikipedia's Notability guidelines, hence I vote to keep the page.--Ajinkyasingh (talk) 15:51, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Strong Keep An obviously notable poet and author. And the AfD saying "Refs are blogs and annoucement," that is absolutely wrong. This article has plenty of reliable sources to prove notability, including sources such as the Navbharat Times and the Hindustan Times, two of the largest and best-known papers in India.--SouthernNights (talk) 20:10, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- The first Navbharat Times is about the father, not the son, and in its 20 lines, hardly in-depth. The second Navbharat Times is an annoucement, the third is about some foundation, not the subject. The Hindustan Times is about an award, that doesn't have any article on Wikipedia. None of them are in-depth. You haven't looked at them have you. scope_creepTalk 20:35, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment It has been two weeks since the Afd was posted and no offer of any reviews of the mans work to show that he is notable. Where is the reviews that satisfy WP:POET. Two reviews in a notable journal, will define him as a poet, otherwise he is a storyteller, of which there is hundreds in India. The Hindustan Times, a great paper, is a passing mention. Quantity does not quality. Reviews count. scope_creepTalk 11:02, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Given that the nominator has mislabeled non-blog sources as blogs and misidentified the nature and content of other sources, it’s clear that a fair, accurate, and balanced source analysis was not done. As such, I am not seeing a strong argument for deletion based in a non-biased and factually accurate assessment.4meter4 (talk) 00:14, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
- @4meter4: If you keep making untrue statements, I will take you to Ani. It is a personal attack. This is the 2nd time I've had to give you a warning.

- ANi, Really? It was an honest error on my part if that’s the case. I wasn’t being untruthful, but calling out what I believed to be true at the time. I’ll note that Southern Nights called you out for the same thing above, and that comment colored my view when looking at the article originally. I didn’t think to look at older versions of the article, so apologies if you were addressing issues that were already remedied. I do make mistakes from time to time.
- Regardless, I stand by what I said in terms of the need for a better more detailed source analysis to prove that deletion is the best choice. For example, all of the award statements are followed by inline citations. Are you claiming these sources don’t verify the content? I don’t read Hindi, do you? You are asking for evidence, but to all appearances the evidence is there in presumably the foreign language refs cited. If you are going to claim the sources don’t verify the content, do us a favor and make a source analysis chart where the issues can clearly be seen and talked about. Otherwise I’m going to assume good faith on the foreign language content I can’t read. The ball is in your court. Best.4meter4 (talk) 15:20, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

- Comment @4meter4: That is cool. It is very easy to vote keep on these Afd's. The system is naturally skewed towards keeping the article and sources analysis is great in principle, but with deletion review, it is getting and getting harder and harder to remove the junk. This is a junk article. Any author needs reviews. Where are they? Looking at the references for a BLP.
- Ref 1 in weekleyvoice.com that indicate he attended the Comedy Poetry Festival (Hasya Kavi Sammelan) at the Courtyard By Marriott Brampton.
- Ref 2 LUCKNOW Comic poet Sarvesh Asthana would be representing Lucknow at the Kavi Sammelan organized by the All-India Hindi Akademi at Lal Qila in New Delhi on January 10. The event is organized to mark Republic Day celebrations every year. A recipient of Kaka Hathrasi Award and Yash Bharti Award, Asthana has toured many other countries to popularize Hindi poetry. This an annoucement of an event.
- Ref 3 Another noted poet and Yash Bharti awardee Sarvesh Asthana said, “I will meet the chief minister with the delegation of award winners, I will speak my mind there.” A passing mention and annoucement.
- Ref 4 States he won the award. 73 people on the same time won the award.
- Ref 5 An annoucement. Eminent poet Sarvesh Asthana from Lucknow is also coming to attend this event to tickle everyone with his funny compositions in satire A passing mention.
- Ref 6 Sarvesh Asthana has been named advisor to the Indian Council for Cultural Relations A passing mention. A very short paragraph indicating he do his best for young artists. Same annoucement.
- Ref 7 Annoucement of celebration of freedom fighter and details the father of Sarvesh. A passing mention.
- Ref 8 Sarvesh Asthana of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh is a famous satirist who has participated in Kavi Sammelans and Mushairas since 1989.
- Ref 9 Sarvesh Asthana of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh is a famous satirist who has participated in Kavi Sammelans and Mushairas since 1989 Ref 8 and 9 are profiles.
- Ref 10 Sarvesh Asthana of Lucknow, a recipient of Uttar Pradesh’s highest civilian award ‘Yash Bharati’ and numerous national and international awards, is a famous satirist who has been participating in Kavi Sammelans and Mushairas since 1989.
Six of the 10 references are annoucements. Two of them are taken from the same profile. They are very poor for a BLP. The award that is seen as prestigious doesn't have an article on Wikipedia. That doesn't indicate it is non-notable, but 73 people received the same award on the same day, which makes it suspect. Where is reviews of his work. Is it case that western poets always need to have reviews of their work on here, and eastern poets don't? Two reviews in a recognised academic or poetry journal that would do it. scope_creepTalk 15:22, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
- They're is a lots of low-quality coverage on the subject with no reviews. Please read Paid news in India. I don't see secondary sources for this BLP, nor reviews. scope_creepTalk 16:03, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
Comment: You have mentioned twice that Yash Bharati has no separate Wikipedia page. I tink, you are mistaken, the prestigious award has a Wikipedia page. You can check, Yash Bharati.
About reviews, the subject is performing poet, a kind of stage artist. Such poets are popular because of their performance and popularising Hindi or folk poetry and literature through their performance. Due to his contribution in Hindi literature, he was honored with Yash Bharati by the Uttar Pradesh government. I research and found a few more reference such as Amar Ujala (1), Prabhasakshi (2), Hindustan (newspaper) (3), (4), (5) I might add it later. Seeing his media coverage, he clearly meets the Wikipedia:BASIC of Notability and as he is the recipient of prestigious Yash Bharati for his contribution in literature, he meets WP:NPEOPLE and WP:ANYBIO.--Ajinkyasingh (talk) 16:43, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for posting that up. I didn't see it. You seems to posting up lots of low-quality small paragraphs here and there. Where are the reviews of his poetry, to indicate he is not. Not annoucements, not clickbaits sites, not wee bits of PR or small paragraphs of past events. Real secondary sources, reviews of his work in a critical poetry journal. Two of them and this Afd will close immediately. scope_creepTalk 20:11, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
: there are discussions about him and his poetry in Sāhitya-bhāratī, by Uttara Pradeśa Hindī Saṃsthāna (a copy is held by at least one mighty western university (the University of Michigan), it must be notable if it's not on its own just as a western university is keeping the copy despite being foreign language book). There are references also in Ataeva, again by Uttara Pradeśa Hindī Saṃsthāna. Uttar Pradesh Chief minister Yogi Adityanath is the principal administrator of Uttara Pradeśa Hindī Saṃsthāna. Asthana's poetry has reference in discussions in Chāyānata and Vatana hai to hama haiṃ by Bhārata Buka Seṇṭara. Copy of the later text is available at eleven (11) US University libraries as per Worldcat despite its being a Hindi text. I am neither in favor of keeping this article nor deleting it - just stating the facts. Di xiku 15:46, 6 October 2021 (UTC) Blocked.

- Comment: I'm astounded at the personal attacks in this discussion. When I voted a strong keep earlier, the person who posted this AfD said I must not have read the references and kept asking where the reviews are. Notability on Wikipedia for writers isn't based solely on reviews. Looking at the media sources out there it is obvious there's enough for notability. For example, this article in the Indo American News discusses his poetry and life alongside two other poets. He's also featured in multiple articles in the Times of India, the largest English language newspaper in the country, and the Hindustan Times, another large English paper (for links see 1, 2, 3). And there are more non-English source focused on this subject (check out this article on him, or this one). Or check out the 94 other media articles about him from the last few years in Google News! That's 94 news articles either about this poet or mentioning him in the last few years. Do you know how few poets in the world receive that much media attention? Finally the government of Uttar Pradesh, a state with a population of nearly 200 million people, gave him their top civilian award the Yash Bharati. If the United Kingdom, a country with a population of only 67 million, gave a poet their top civilian award, we wouldn't be debating if they were notable or not. We'd accept they were notable. The totality of the reliable coverage on this subject and the significant awards he's received support notability. It's that simple. --SouthernNights (talk) 14:07, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- They're was no personal attacks on this page, and if you repeat that again, your going straight up to AN. Reviews are the only thing that can prove the person is a poet. scope_creepTalk 14:24, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reviews are not the only thing that prove a person is a poet. As stated in the Wikipedia's notability guidelines for people under creative professionals, notability can be determined by "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." So reviews are one way to prove notability, but so are multiple independent periodical articles, which we have plenty of here. As for personal attacks, you stated "You haven't looked at them have you" in your original response to me, referring to me not reading the references. That was an attack, as is threatening to take me to AN if I repeat that. That has no place in an AfD.--SouthernNights (talk) 14:33, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- As other commentators said, it was awarded to 73 people at the same time, not only to him. So it's as if eg. he received it in Gabon. Even in that case, it would count towards notability if it was exclusive. But considering it is not, it's incomparable. The number of news articles mentioning him is not relevant, because routine coverage and significant coverage are not the same thing. There are many tabloids covering reality show participants, as well, here and there. Do they cover him or his work as the focus, for more than a small paragraph? In all the sources given, the subject is mentioned in passing or collectively. Dege31 (talk) 15:08, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- The award doesn't appear to be given out every year so yes, they give it to multiple people when it is awarded. But none of that takes away from it's significance or proof of notability. The award appears similar to the Order of the British Empire, which is also awarded to multiple people at one time yet is also strong proof of notability for a subject. And yes, some of the articles I referenced only discuss him for a paragraph or two, but others focus extensively on this work. Both of the Hindu-language newspaper articles I linked to feature in-depth video interviews with the subject, one in the Rajasthan Patrika paper and the other in the Hindustan Dainik. (Hindustan Dainik article and Rajasthan Patrika article). Both of these Hindu-language papers have circulations in the millions and ran articles exclusively about him, with video interviews. Again, the totality of the media coverage and the awards he's received support notability.--SouthernNights (talk) 15:32, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Contested draftify (which is why I am down as the 'article creator') and then contested PROD. I agree with User:Sir Sputnik's rationale "Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league." For example, Soccerway confirms no appearances yet. In my view, draftify was the best option and what we do for similar cases.
Please bear in mind that searching "علی جودکی" will bring back a lot of false positives and partial matches. Out of all of the articles that are about him, I can only find routine news. All articles are either brief announcements of call up to first team and passing mentions in a friendly match report. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 08:50, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

The result was delete. The delete arguments are far stronger in policy here. Asserting that the article has "a reasonably long list of sources" and that "some probably are" independent just will not wash. No specific sources were pointed to in the discussion that actually confirm notability despite being requested to do so. The rest of the KEEP contributors simply asserted that NCHURCH had been met, which plainly it has not unless and until the above point is addressed. SpinningSpark 13:58, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep -- As a church with 5 campuses, this is effectively a small denomination. There is a reasonably long list of sources, some of which may not be independent, but some probably are. The (unverified) church attendance of 20,000 even if the total from all campuses is probably approaching that of a mega-church. All in all, I think there is enough here for notability.

- User:4meter4, User:Dfertileplain and User:Peterkingiron; WP:NCHURCH just says that they must have met the heightened requirements of WP:NCORP, which states "[It is] notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." WP:ORGCRIT then provides an in depth definition of those words.
- My own review of the citations, and my own before search, suggests to me that we do not meet this; perhaps one of you can provide WP:THREE to prove that we do? BilledMammal (talk) 00:00, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - Peterkingiron's and subsequent keep votes aren't based in policy. As BilledAnimal states, NCHURCH explicitly sets the standard to meet which must either fulfill the requirements laid out in the WP:GNG or those in WP:ORG/WP:NONPROFIT. Nothing implies these churches operates at a national or international level, and the church has not received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization. The sources that are provided are either insignificant and merely mention the church in passing, aren't independent of the subject, or aren't reliable sources.

Neither this article, nor any translation of this article in other languages except Japanese, cites any sources (and none of translations are cited).

- CommentAs with most awards, having a Pulitzer Prize is notable . Being merely a finalist for one is not. The Loeb awards are specialist awards for business journalism given in multiple categories, and therefore less important than thePulitzer Prize whcih represent the peak of the entire profession of journalism in the US. Previous practice at WP confirms it: Looking at he lists of award winners, I notice that only about 1/5 of the people listed have a WP article, and in almost all cases it's for other accomplishments, such as editor in chief of a major news service.
- But I would not have noticed this article were it not almost all of the contents were long sections advocating his views, sourced to himself. It is, for example, not encyclopedic content that he supports fracking, or to give a list of the universities whose athletic policies he has criticized. This is spam, and puffery to increase the number of links. My decision whether to bother nominating borderline people for deletion is the degree of promotionalism and puffery and over-coverage in the article. There are far too many articles in WP about people who really shouldn't behere to try to remove them all. (If they are truly very notable it's another matter--then it can be enough to emove the promotionalism --unless the supporters refuse to let it get removed DGG ( talk ) 20:36, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep: I agree with Hydronium~Hydroxide in keeping the article as Nocera has notable achievements but perhaps pruning it. I think points brought up by DGG should be addressed. Tale.Spin (talk) 15:09, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete: Prune the article for superfluous content, and what of encyclopedic value is left? Doesn't seem like much at all would be left. Regardless of whether or not the man is notable, is there anything of value to readers to say about him? The article reads like a list of tangential facts about the person rather than anything that distinguishes him. If it would not be acceptable to publish an article consisting only of some notable person's name and picture with a blank article, I presume It should not be acceptable to publish an article with a notable person's name and picture followed by a lot of unimportant or fluff content. 23:00, 20 September 2021 (UTC).

Furthermore, there are reliable sources, independent of the subject that establishes notability, which includes the Pulitzer Prize nomination and the other award sources.

In addition to the nine inline cites, there is the "University of California, Irvine Guide to the Ronald H. Chilcote papers". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:30, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- The nine inline cites come entirely from a journal that he edited, while the the guide is published by his employer. Neither of these are independent sources, and one's employer collecting one's papers doesn't seem to be remarkable whatsoever, especially when Chicotle himself donated them to create the "collection". — Mikehawk10 (talk) 04:46, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- The guide is not published by his employer. He was employed by UC Riverside; the guide is published by UC Irvine, a different university. From description of the contents in the guide, it appears to be unrelated to his university work. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:01, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep as unprodder. As I wrote in my unprod, "Abu-El-Haj is enough of a reliable source to save this from BLPPROD, and the named professorship appears to pass WP:PROF#C5". The nominator appears to have completely ignored this rationale and failed to even address WP:PROF-based notability, which is not based on the "secondary reliable sources independent from the subject himself" requested in the nomination. On top of which, even the most cursory search of JSTOR for book reviews of his books finds many (starting with [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], etc) so there are many many in-depth published sources about his work and an easy pass of a second notability guideline, WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:44, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

- Obvious Keep. He holds a named chair in a reputable university (WP:PROF#C5) and he's managing editor of a journal (WP:PROF#C8) before we even start on his output of books and papers. It is a common misunderstanding that these don't count towards a person's notability. If academic papers are widely cited, or if books sell very well and are widely read, then they do contribute (because article citations, and book sales, are an indication independent of the author, and both indicate that the author has wide influence). The article is in desperate need of proper referencing, but there is no reason to believe that the subject is not notable, and referencing can be improved.

Struggling to see how this meets WP:LISTN and is quite a convoluted cross-categorisation that requires a great deal of WP:SYNTH to formulate.

Reywas92Talk 14:05, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - I would fully support the arguments for deletion made above, and also note that this list has not really been maintained and also seems a bit inconsistent about duplicating information. In general while the earliest living cabinet minister might be of note, I don't think a list is the way to do this on Wikipedia.

Non-notable singer and a case, however tragic, of WP:BLP1E. She is notable for a single performance on an American reality contest show. She gave the performance while suffering with cancer; despite having a guaranteed place on the show, had to drop out. All very sad, all very compelling reality television I'm sure, but this is a clear case of WP:BLP1E. As the reality show itself is not a reliable source, she has received no significant coverage in independent sources. I also want to draw editor's attention to the fact that many of the cited sources are NBC affiliates. Because the show is an NBC show, these are ads disguised as news; only these sources contain her basic biographical details. While we would normally treat the NBC affiliates are independent, secondary sources, I feel we are constrained to not do so in this case for the purpose of establishing notability.

The article notes: "Singer-songwriter Jane Claudio, 28, is one of Nashville's newer acts. A young woman with a rollercoaster story filled with trial and bravery, Claudio has had to overcome great lows to become who she is today. She has evolved sonically over the years into an electro-pop palette, colorizing her folky beginnings with a wave of tasteful synth and ambitious post-modern swells. It's almost like Lorde meets Daft Punk with a smidgen of Taylor Swift."

The article notes: "While "Girl In a Bubble" was written largely as an emotional response to her first remission, "IT'S OK" aims to put as much distance between her and the past year as possible—"I blow through yellow lights and don't look back at all." Letting her voice play for the first time in months, she stands by calmly as it carefully scopes out its new neon colored surroundings, teasing the sparkling synths with quick pace changes and blithe commentary."

The article notes: "If there’s anyone that exemplifies beauty both inside and out, it’s Nightbirde. The singer, born Jane Marczewski, flew onto the world’s radar when she sang about her struggle with cancer on season 16 of America’s Got Talent. ... Marczewski has certainly shown ample bravery in her life so far. The 30-year-old singer-songwriter was first diagnosed with cancer in 2017, which was treated and pronounced medically cleared. By early January 2020, however, she was told that her cancer had returned and spread to her liver, lungs and spine. Two weeks after that, her husband asked for a divorce, which pushed things to the breaking point for her."

- Delete per nom and WP:BLP1E. This article is about a person who had a significant role in a non-significant event, which was a single audition episode of America's Got Talent. She performed only once and did not return to the show to perform in the quarterfinals. She has a sad story, but not a unique or encyclopedically significant one. -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:02, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete: Based on reading WP:BLP1E that a few people here put forward in reasoning. I think what we have found is possibly a problem with talent show programs - people may sometimes create articles for people who come on for one appearance, without considering waiting to see if they are involved in more than just that program. Furthermore, this article is becoming a like a lightning rod, and I don't think the dispute between myself and the IP will end unless either we come to an agreement, or the cause of the issue goes away.GUtt01 (talk) 08:36, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: I might agree to a Redirect to AGT:S16 article if she should pass away - It would be suitable for coverage in that article, under a section regarding incidents. If so, there would notable coverage about how she felt regarding her withdrawal, and on Simon Cowell's opinion on the matter, prior to the possible event. If not agreeable with others, then fair enough. GUtt01 (talk) 10:55, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment on why WP:BLP1E does not apply: Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Subjects notable only for one event (WP:BLP1E) says:
Nightbirde does not meet WP:BLP1E because she does not meet the clause "reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event". She received substantial coverage in The News & Advance in 2012, 2013, and 2019, in Earmilk in 2019 and 2020. She also received coverage in the Lynchburg Living and the Liberty Journal in 2019. The articles discuss her career (including her extended play and her single) and her personal life. She was already notable before her appearance on season 16 of America's Got Talent in 2021. Her appearance led to her receiving substantial media coverage, including in the international sources the South China Morning Post and the Manila Bulletin.Wikipedia is not news, or an indiscriminate collection of information. Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met:
- If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.
- If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. ...
- If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. ...
Regarding "Furthermore, this article is becoming a like a lightning rod, and I don't think the dispute between myself and the IP will end unless either we come to an agreement, or the cause of the issue goes away." – editorial disputes over the article should have no bearing on whether the article is retained.
- Comment: Perhaps we might see whether the subject of the article fits one of the criteria of WP:MUSICBIO or WP:REALITYSINGER, if WP:BLP1E is not sufficient an argument for this AfD per Cunard's argument? GUtt01 (talk) 10:59, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

WP:REALITYSINGER says, "Singers and musicians who are only notable for participating in a reality television series may be redirected to an article about the series, until they have demonstrated that they are independently notable." The guideline does not support deletion or redirection of this article since the subject was already notable prior to her appearance on the reality television series.

- Keep. I used sources provided by Cunard to expand the article; her career received coverage for years before her appearance on the America's Got Talent audition, and together with the explosion of coverage after the audition and her withdrawal from the show, there is no doubt she meets GNG, plus there is enough material on her life, which isn't always the case with performers. In addition to Nightbirde and Jane Marczewski, she has performed as Jane Claudio, so there may be more to be found by searching under that name. Yngvadottir (talk) 10:04, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Since someone wanted to argue out this non-notable subdivision, here we are.

- Delete per WP:GEOLAND #2: "Populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG. Examples may include subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods, etc. – any of which could be considered notable on a case-by-case basis, given non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the informal place should be included in the more general article on the legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it."
- This location is not notable in accordance with the GNG.
- It has only trivial coverage.
- How does the subject of this article meet WP:GNG? Suppose that the subject was a person or a corporation. Would it be notable enough for an article? If a person was the subject of a puff piece in the paper does that make them notable? I think not. Why are we applying a different standard of notability to neighborhoods? What makes the subject of this article notable - that is different from other typical neighborhoods? How will this article be expanded in the future to be different from any other development?
- Looking at Foulk Woods specifically, GBooks has various trivial hits, a 1949 USGS bulletin lists it as a "suburban development". I found nothing in GBooks that indicates notability. Newspapers.com has trivial coverage for a typical suburban development, I found no articles that indicate notability.
- Recently, it seems that with Geography AfDs, there has been an increase of Keep votes. As a community, how will we reach consensus on these AfDs? New opinions are welcome. Should WP:GEOLAND be updated? If we can't reach consensus here, then updating the policy could be difficult. I encourage editors to review WP:GNG, WP:GEOLAND and Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Geography. Cxbrx (talk) 16:39, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Notability certainly does not require "different from" - "same as", "just like" are not standards used on Wikipedia and are simply Wikipedia:PPOV. More participation? Good thing, no? More keep !votes is irrelevant; (is that comment on it being good or bad?).

- I think we have a difference of a opinion about notability. Is every tree in a forest notable, or is the forest notable? Etc. I've found that Mangoe's WP:BEFORE to be quite good, though I believe in the past I believe I have not always agreed with them. In general, I've spent quite a bit of effort trying researching Geography AfDs, my standard is that I like to find at least one WP:RS non-trivial source about the location, two is even better. I do feel that having a post office helps indicate notability, but I'm pretty much alone in this opinion. With this article, I'm just not sure what else will be added to the article to improve it? In other articles, I've seen additions (Green Meadow, Delaware, Edenridge, Delaware) by yourself and other editors about the names of the builders etc., and though find these to be somewhat WP:MILL, at least the article has been improved. It seems that there are plenty of editors that would prefer to keep these articles, so they will stay for the time being. I don't think more keep !votes is good or bad, I think that there is a set of editors who are more inclined to !vote keep than there were in the past. What strikes me is that amount of time people put in to some of the AfDs (Landenberg Junction, Delaware), but the article remains basically unchanged. I do feel that editors like Mangoe, Hog Farm, Reywas92, Dlthewave and others have done a lot in cleaning up mass-produced GNIS junk articles, by editors like Carlossuarez46, see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive830#Carlossuarez46_mass-creating_articles. In looking at Geo AfDs in the distant past, it seems like there were more !vote keeps. I'm happy to let the pendulum swing the other way towards !vote keep for awhile. I'm happy to see all the Geo AfDs get attention even if I don't necessary agree with the results and I'm probably going to move on to other wiki tasks for the time being. I may jump in on Geo AfDs that have not gotten much attention and have been relisted. Cxbrx (talk) 00:18, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Well, I've certainly appreciated your research on these AfDs (and it's a pretty thankless task). I think the pendulum is mostly being swung by people now doing more in-depth research (specifically in old newspapers), and actual articles springing up at the site of an AfD (rather than "it's good" / "it sucks" arguments). jp×g 23:28, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Comment: Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST is not a valid argument in AFD discussions.

- comment This and the other recent AfDs on Wilmington's suburban developments are all being driven by a novel attempt at a guideline: that all neighborhoods of major cities are notable because their names appear in articles in those city's papers. People keep arguing based on articles in the main Wilmington paper(s) (and in this timeframe they were actually only a single paper with, initially, a morning and an evening edition), but looking at the articles in question, most of them are simply name drops to locate a person or an event, and the ones that look like actual coverage are either notices that something was being built, back in the days when that kind of coverage was routine, or equally routine real estate pages write-ups that every neighborhood gets in order to sell houses there. I just don't see it satisfying WP:GNG, but in any case the numerous guidelines limiting WP coverage of local politicians and the like are evidence that simplyl appearing in the papers from time to time isn't enough. Mangoe (talk) 04:59, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- comment Wikipedia:Notability (local interests) is a failed proposal. Wikipedia:5P1: Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers.

- Keep, although I see the merit of arguments made to delete. The nominated revision and the current revision are miles apart; there's now a whopping fourteen references, many of which articles specifically about this place.

An uncited stub since its creation in 2006. For the most part the term "x-y-z matrix" only appears on mirrors of Wikipedia or in unrelated uses such as XYZ color space or usual 2d matrices transforming a vector whose entries are x, y, z. I found two exceptions,1, 2, which are very brief and confusing. My best guess is that this article is intending to describe an Array data type with 3 indices, but there's no evidence that the term is in common use in that sense.

- Delete. The usual names for this object are hypermatrix or tensor (both of which admit higher-dimensional analogues). Unfortunately the most concrete discussion of such things on Wikipedia seems to be at Tensor#As_multidimensional_arrays, which is damn near incomprehensible. (Multilinear_map and Array data type are also relevant, I guess.) There's no substance in this article to merge. The figure is a nice idea but basically unreadable (at least by me). So we have, basically, a made-up term with no citations and no usable content. --JBL (talk) 00:42, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment this is the classical maths dilemma of Wikipedia. We have an article on tensors that no one can understand unless they already know the subject matter (which seriously undermines the point of having the article). But so far as I know, as a non-mathematician, a tensor doesn't have to be a multi-dimensional matrix, and not all multi-dimensional matrices are tensors?? We have hyper-matrix redirecting to tensor, but another article altogether, Array_data_structure talking about matrices with more than two dimensions. It seems a bit of a mess. It would be lovely if someone could write a comprehensible overview-article on 3-dimensional matrices and their uses.

The band seem to have an extensive discography which is why I thought they would satisfy WP:NBAND, but during WP:BEFORE, I could find no WP:RS discussing their career in detail. I thought I'd bring it to AfD to see if there is anything I'm missing. – DarkGlow • 14:32, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment An extensive discography is not a sign of notability. Many underground punk/grindcore bands have lots of releases, but that doesn't make them notable since most of the time, nobody wrote a review of said albums; they are available in stores and on streaming media, they have some database entries, they can be downloaded from somewhere, you can buy the merch...however, none of those are reliable sites and they cannot be used in WP articles. So an extensive discography does not make a band/musician notable. On the case of this band, they don't seem very notable, but I might be wrong. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 20:02, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment reply Thanks for the clarification for anyone that's unsure, but I'm aware of that. I wouldn't be arguing for someone's notability in an AfD nomination lol, I was just stating that I expected them to pass NBAND with RS but they don't, hence the nom. – DarkGlow • 20:31, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete Looking at the references, the last one is routine coverage which could just as well be a press release (looks like it, although it is not identified as such); the one before is largely based on an interview; and the first one is also based on statements from the promoter of the launch of the groups ultimate album. So none of these are enough to meet GNG. It might be possible that this group got coverage from local off-line sources which could amount to actual GNG, but given that the band has released multiple albums in the past twenty years (so, yeah, right in the middle of the Internet era, in Spain, a European country...), it does not bode well that nothing convincing has so far been found.

- Delete - They've stuck it out for many years but it appears that they simply haven't received any reliable coverage. As the last voter said, the recently-added sources are a nice try but they're just minor promo announcements. Unless the sources are really deep in hardcopy books and newspapers, I can find no in-depth analytical articles on the band or reliable reviews of any of their albums.

The result was speedy delete. G12 copyvio per HighKing. Both the English and the original Italian articles were created in one hit rather than slowly evolving. Additiionally, this may well be a purely promotional creation. The product is for sale at the farinabono.ch website and the earliest version of the English article gives that as the Official Site. For the record, I was inclined to keep this had it not been for the copyvio, so there is no obstacle to its recreation as a properly written article. SpinningSpark 14:44, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

In looking at google books I got a lot of hits with cookbook recipes using it (mainly in Italian and Swiss but also French and Russian), farina bona ice cream, medieval recipes, etc. Even Hippocrates mentioned it briefly.

- Keep based (1) on the feeling that a lot of half-decent sources writing at least a bit on the subject adds up to the same sort of weight as two sources in depth (I know this is bad arithmetic); (2) on the sheer quantity of Google hits; and (3) on the text: the text refers to historical sources and testimonies, and is either a stupendously good bit of Original Research, or more likely, an article pieced together from decent sources which unfortunately the writer failed to cite. We should delete the incorrigibly non-notable, not the uncontroversial-probably-true-but-not-properly-cited; this latter should be tagged as needing references.

- Comment: Farina bona is a corn (maize) flour, so any use in the context of Hippocrates or before the 1500s is probably unrelated, and Swiss cuisine suggests corn might not have become a staple before the 1800s -- which is consistent with [47]. Happy with redirection and brief coverage as proposed. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 05:49, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - this was nominated for deletion less than 6 minutes after the nomination of another article. Both nominations used the automated Twinkle suite. The suggestion that the intervening 5 minutes was enough time to conduct WP:BEFORE for topic with a history "that extends back into antiquity", is laughable. So keep and close as out of process, or keep because it meets our inclusion criteria. St★lwart111 06:09, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete as per G12 WP:COPYVIO. This article was created in December 2009 and is based on this website's contents also in English language which predate this article. Everything in the article originates from that website and the timing suggests this article was created to promote that business. HighKing++ 13:21, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- @HighKing: how do we know that the contents of that site predate the addition of our article? Note that the Italian is an almost verbatim copy of Italian Wikipedia's version as of 2008, while the web archives of the other page date to 2010 only, which means they could well have copied it-wiki. It would be good to know for sure, though. — Amakuru (talk) 16:47, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Amakuru good point but the 2008 Italian wiki page shows a link to this web site which is of the same name but ".ch" and which was in existence in 2007. Although the "Curiosita" page hasn't been archived from 2007, it existed and given the lack of updates to the website in general, my opinion is that this article is a clear copyvio.

Much as I'd like to see an article here, we are shy at least one further good source before notability can be asserted. The only solid coverage I can find is the given BBC article; the second current ref is an in-house press release that can be found reprinted, unmodified, in a dozen aggregators.

Snippet views/ blocked pages prevent getting a closer look at what looks the most promising. (such as [49]; [50]; My university library search yielded some of his recipes in The Independent and The Guardian, and I did find some interviews in culinary magazines, but we usually don't consider that independent enough to count towards RS at AFD. His 2017 cookbook Modern British Food: Recipes from Parlour may have reviews somewhere to count towards notability.

With regard to the commentary about WP:BEFORE - people really need to WP:AGF, the nominator may have conducted WP:BEFORE sometime in the past, perhaps last week and not necessarily just before this AfD. As to the references ... I've read them. None - not a single one - meets WP:NCORP (and makes me wonder how anyone who read the references could even say they met GNG for that matter) as follows:
- "Making Mission Statements Operational: Perceptions of Principals from Tri-Association Schools" doesn't even mention the topic organization (even though they are members of the Tri-Association) much less have WP:CORPDEPTH in-depth information
- "Global to Local Curriculum Policy Processes: Policy Implications of Research in Education" gets a mention in passing on page 33. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
- "The American Sponsored Overseas School Headship: Two Decades of Change and the Road Ahead" gets a mention in passing on page 15. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
- John Catt Guide to International Schools 2010/11 contains a profile which contains information from the organization's website with no "Independent Content" as per WP:ORGIND.

I did find some RS in google books; all of which describe it as an essential and foundational tool for hacking which would seem to indicate some notability.

- Keep. In dealing with a 11 year old questioned article, the first step is not to nominate for AfD, but to try using BEFORE. DGG ( talk ) 01:13, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - beyond the subject passing WP:GNG, this nomination was launched less than 120 seconds after an unrelated edit by the nominator. In the intervening one minute, the nominator tagged it for notability. There's no conceivable way WP:BEFORE was conducted. St★lwart111 03:49, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

- Leaning keep. According to his website he's been inducted into the Western Swing Hall of Fame, which if we can find an independent ref to verify he would pass criteria 1 of WP:CREATIVE. This website, tulsatvmemories, which is affiliated with the Tulsa World, documents one of his projects and provides links to several articles in the Tulsa World where he and his work are the main subject. Here's a more recent review in the TW. There's lot's of TW press on Bagsby going back decades which I can't access because of a pay wall, but can see in searches (for example [51]). All of this to say, he appears to be an important artist in Oklahoma with plenty of RS to pass GNG, and with the Hall of Fame induction should meet our inclusion guidelines for artists.4meter4 (talk) 19:07, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment. @4meter4: when I go to his website, it turns out to be for two people. The only claim about the Western Swing Hall of Fame is for Steve, not David. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 16:54, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks for catching my error. Regardless, I think there is enough RS on David to pass GNG.4meter4 (talk) 17:32, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment #2. The links I've seen are interviews, or brief mentions. I suspect 4meter4 is correct about more press behind the paywall, but one can't rely on unseen stuff. Given that I know very little about the Tulsa music world, I don't feel comfortable !voting delete, but can't !vote keep either. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 02:03, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - invalid nomination. This article was nominated for deletion within 60 seconds of unrelated edits to other things by the nominator. There's no possible way WP:BEFORE tagging, searches and discussions could have been conducted before this was nominated. Combined with the thoughtful case made above, I'm seeing no reason this should be deleted. St★lwart111 07:24, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- That is not policy based rationale. scope_creepTalk 12:18, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep in addition to the sources already shared, I found this magazine article discussing a band Bagsby was involved in, though they no longer list him as a member. Regardless, I feel there are enough sources here to establish notability. NemesisAT (talk) 15:11, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- That is a blog. You seem to a have sceloritic understanding of what constitutes significant coverage. Doesn't meet WP:SPS. scope_creepTalk 12:18, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- Strong Delete These are poor reference that have been offered up for obscure person. The rest of the references look like blog and self-published sources. Why are these sources being offered up when they are not significant coverage? Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:GNG, WP:MUSICBIO. scope_creepTalk 12:18, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Umm... scope creep the sources being offered up are all from the Tulsa World which is the major regional newspaper for the Eastern half of the state of Oklahoma. TulsaTVMemories is affiliated with the newspaper (according to The Tulsa World which links to the page in some of their articles on Bagby), and there are multiple url links on that page to articles on Bagby in The Tulsa World archives. Rather than copy pasting each url link to the newspaper, I thought this page was handy as a navigational tool to relevant RS in the Tulsa World. Clearly you did not examine the content closely or fairly evaluate it in your assessment above.4meter4 (talk) 13:34, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Addendum, I didn’t see the source you mislabeled as a blog by another user. Oklahoma magazine is not a blog. It’s actually a monthly magazine which is printed and is circulated throughout the state of Oklahoma; often available to grab for free in public spaces throughout the state such as public libraries, government buildings, museums, etc. See https://okmag.com/.4meter4 (talk) 13:53, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. Notable as a mining executive. Somebody wrote a book about him as a coal person rather than a politician: Barrett, Glen (1900). Idaho Coal: H.F. Samuels and the Teton Basin Mines. This talks about one of his companies: Commission, United States Interstate Commerce (1934). Interstate Commerce Commission Reports: Reports and Decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission of the United States. L.K. Strouse. Here and here he testifies before a congressional committee about his zinc mining company . This seems to show that he was a breeder of shorthorn cattle. More in the context of local history. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:52, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete The gbook reference would have swung it for me, but it looks industry publication at 84 pages, more a booklet. The rest breeding, cattle, and testifying in congress are neither unique nor particularly uncommon. To me he looks like a local farmer, later coal miner and later who tried to become a politician and failed. The references don't support NPOL nor [{WP:BIO]]. scope_creepTalk 15:47, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
