Siege of Bassi Kalan

There was no such siege; as the sources and even this article state, it was at most a skirmish. The sources do NOT call it even "battle of Bassi Kalan" and do not contain WP:SIGCOV; the event itself, by any name, fails WP:GNG. The relevant information belongs on Bassi Kalan, following the sources; a redirect from "Siege of Bassi Kalan" to Bassi Kalan is not necessary, as the topic is not known by this name. asilvering (talk) 22:12, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Nationality of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I raised issues with this page in August at Talk:Nationality_of_Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart#Justification_for_article, to which Michael Bednarek replied by essentially repeating the substance of the complaint: there is no source that actually covers an actual discussion about Mozart's nationality -- the article presents this as an academic debate when no such debate is acknowledged in the sources. As I note, there exists a manner in which WP can write about this topic, but no such substance exists in the current article, nor has any effort been made to add such substance since I raised the issue (only two edits since August), and I am doubtful any such rewrites would amount to enough substance to justify a standalone article from Mozart. Hence AfD. Ping: @Imran Khatun:, @Onetwothreeip:, ... but the only editor who has contributed more than 100 characters to the article's text is @Michael Bednarek:. SamuelRiv (talk) 14:10, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Bednarek (or someone else) would need to provide individual sources which show there is a dispute regarding Mozart's nationality. It's not enough to provide sources which contradict each other on his nationality. The sources themselves have to demonstrate that the question itself is relevant. Onetwothreeip (talk) 19:54, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The topic of the article is Mozart's nationality, not a specific dispute as posited on the article's talk page. There have certainly been sources that discuss the question and its significance, eg Mozart and the Nazis: How the Third Reich abused a cultural icon. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:54, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That would not be relevant to an article on Mozart's nationality. Content about how the Nazi government portrayed Mozart belongs in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in popular culture. The nationality article can only be justified by a dispute over his nationality. Onetwothreeip (talk) 08:11, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What are you basing that assertion on? Nikkimaria (talk) 02:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – The subject of the article is spelled out in the lead: "Editors of modern encyclopedias and other reference sources differ in how they assign a nationality to Mozart (if any) in light of conflicting criteria." and later, "evidence is available to support a variety of opinions about Mozart's nationality." Our German colleages at de:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart#Nationalität use the same rationale. The article presents those variety of opinions; whether musicologists dispute each other's assignations is neither here nor there. Those opinions find their way into popular culture (see e.g. Unsere Besten, Google Mozart Deutscher oder Österreicher) and presenting them is a legitimate subject. Placing this material in the the main Mozart article would rob it (justifiably) of the historical context and be undue there because it hasn't anything to do with WAM as a composer. In a reduced form, it would almost certainly invite unhelpful edits and create perennial instability there. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 03:32, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep if only to keep these tedious explanations out of the main article. Johnbod (talk) 04:29, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The fact that the article is poor and that no one has cleaned it up is no justification for deleting it. WP:Deletion is not cleanup. Furius (talk) 11:10, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In case people skip over my original, more detailed post of objections on the article's Talk Page which I linked, I will repost it here. None of what I wrote above is a relevant argument, just a nondescript summary.

As far as I can tell, this article seems to be entirely WP:OR and/or WP:SYNTH to explain or answer the question of nationality as applied to Mozart. It is not actually about the subject of the nationality of Mozart as it actually exists. An example of this would be if notable figure A says mozart is X, notable figure B says Mozart is Y, and they get into a poopstorm over it that is covered by notable source C. There are notable mentions of the politicization of Mozart's nationality -- for example, in a 2013 WP discussion User:DoctorJoeE links to a BBC story that quotes the Austrian embassy on this subject. This story is cited in the article currently, yet, bizarrely, it is done so for historical facts and not for modern politics. (Neither the ambassador nor the embassy spokesperson are specialist historians.)

This article is not justifiable in its current state. It either needs to be entirely about Mozart's nationality as a subject under significant discussion -- not simply a amalgamation of isolated blurbs from historians. Or else its scope should be expanded into a larger discussion of either the historiography for declaring the nationality of pre-Modern figures, or else the modern politics behind claiming nationalities for historical figures. Failing such change (or other suggestions you may have), I'd recommend deletion in a month or so. SamuelRiv (talk) 20:38, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

...

All the encyclopedias in the article seem to decide each edition on one thing or another. The only place in this entire article that we mention sources which actually ponder over the issue of Mozart's nationality is the final paragraph, which cites all of two scholars. From this article it seems to me that, for this eminently important historical figure who has been extensively written about from every perspective, the only writers who are devoting such extensive coverage to debate his nationality are us. SamuelRiv (talk) 02:37, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

To clarify: to "ponder over the issue of Mozart's nationality" means to write much more than something like "The young German did this" or "The Austrian prodigy did that". It means to dedicate, by my minimal standards, at least one full sentence to the historical-biographical matter of national identity as claimed by the man himself, family, or any politician, historian, etc. to follow.

The reason I'm saying to delete the article rather than to merge it is because the only bits of the article that aren't SYNTH (inventing a debate or staked claim in sources which do no such thing) is as far as I can tell a single paragraph. The throwaway quotes of politicians may be worthwhile if there's further research on whether this actually matters, but in such context it is not an actual substantive debate over Mozart's nationality, but rather perhaps a notable political macguffin of Austria–Germany relations, and worth mentioning as part of Mozart's cultural influence.

Central to the problem is that the article from the beginning presents Mozart's nationality as some kind of legitimate discussion that real people actually have. Read the article and count the number of people who are actually discussing it. SamuelRiv (talk) 15:57, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Footnotes 32 and 33 (the newspaper articles) both raise the issue of Mozart's nationality, don't they? It's also discussed in this book as a matter of controversy in modern times; this book also devotes a paragraph to unpacking the issue. There is material for an article on this topic; the fact that this article uses it very badly is not a justification for deletion. 18:42, 14 November 2023 (UTC) Furius (talk) 18:42, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, as noted above, Mozart and the Nazis: How the Third Reich abused a cultural icon does this in detail. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:16, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"... I believe I am capable of bringing honor to any court—and if Germany, my beloved Fatherland, of which, as you know, I am proud, will not take me up—well, let France or England, in God's name become the richer by another talented German—and that to the disgrace of the German nation!"
Mozart himself describes himself as German here. this article is a great collection of sources, which all show imput for a debate or at least question, that arises in modern times with Mozart being born in a "country" no longer existing, into a collection of states which later form modern Germany for the most part, into the German culture and language sphere. we think in terms of nations today and all people of past ages are part of some national lineage. Mozart may be of two, but that should always be an information avaiable. Wikipedia is about people accumulating data for others to read. this article is all about that. deleting it would be against Wikipedia´s basic idea. BauhausFan89 (talk) 10:29, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP: for the reasons above. BauhausFan89 (talk) 10:30, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per SamuelRiv's argument above. This is an OR discussion of a question that interests the editor rather than an encyclopedic treatment of an actually existing debate which RS have treated as notable. I'm mystified that other editors support keeping this. Llajwa (talk) 21:51, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep|re-write Delete WP:TNT, per SamuelRiv: "There are notable mentions of the politicization of Mozart's nationality -- for example, in a 2013 WP discussion User:DoctorJoeE links to a BBC story that quotes the Austrian embassy on this subject." Being a new editor, my opinion might matter little in this discussion; however, I believe other editors may be hesitant to delete or merge this article because it is well-composed in terms of sourcing, graphical content, etc. But none of those reasons are significant to overcoming WP:NOR and WP:SYNTH claims for this article. There are isolated media references to a significance in Austria-Germany relations, and per Furius "There is material for an article on this topic; the fact that this article uses it very badly is not a justification for deletion." I disagree with keeping the article, as too much of the work is OR. But I think it should be blown up and re-written to discuss historical debate over Mozart's nationality. 22 November 2023It might be preferable if @Michael Bednarek: used a different place to backup the good original synthesis they have performed in writing this article, and instead the article re-written under WP:CLEANUP to include only such information and sources that shows there is current dispute among notable sources over Mozart's nationality, and none of the lengthy background/historical information. Then, it would be much easier to determine the amount of WP eligible content and thus determine if the article is worthy of standalone support, merging, or even deletion. That sounds like a lot of effort, though. AlexTheAwkward (talk) 17:14, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • I disagree - the whole point, which the article rather fails to make sufficiently clear, is that there is no "current dispute" of any significance, but there used to be one, largely motivated by political reasons. You are suggesting throwing out the baby and keeping the bathwater. Johnbod (talk) 17:19, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: It's clear that no one wants this in the main article on Mozart. But it also seems clear that no one is particularly excited about the article as it stands, and there are major WP:OR and WP:SYNTH concerns. Sure, deletion isn't cleanup, but would WP:TNT without prejudice to recreation be a useful solution in this case?

Indeed so strongly do the Austrians guard the composer as one of their own that when Mozart was nominated in 2003 as one of the greatest Germans of all time in a competition organised by the German television station ZDF, the Austrian ambassador to Germany, Christian Prosl [de], protested vigourously about his inclusion

Salzburg was not part of Austria at the time, and although Mozart spent most of his mature career in Vienna, he was really a German composer, much as Beethoven, also resident in Vienna, was a German composer. So should the Austrians celebrate Mozart as an Austrian?

  • … yes, this does seem to have been something that the world has had a bit of a debate over, last century, documented in university press books. The major problem with the article seems to be that it entirely ignores World War 2. Uncle G (talk) 16:39, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are three options:
    • Move to What nationality would someone born in Salzburg in 1756 be?, because this is primarily an essay, not an encyclopedia article;
    • Merge selectively to main Mozart article, as most of the article does not discuss Mozart and is a discussion of the politico-cultural situation in Central Europe in the mid-18th century;
    • or Cut everything except the "Scholarly practice" section, which is the only significant part of the article which is directly relevant to the title. This is my preferred option. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:25, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Or, much better than any of these, leave it as it is. Johnbod (talk) 04:05, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Or, better even than that, write about the subject, which was a matter of propaganda and debate in World War 2. It's not that there isn't a subject to write about here, it's that editors have spent more time on arguing the case directly than looking for documentation about the time when the world argued the case.

  • Keep per discussion and points made by Johnbod, Michael Bednarick, and others. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:45, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge without objection to a Delete, a one paragraph summary with refs from Nationality of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart#Scholarly practice section into the main article. There does not seem to be enough material here to justify a stand alone article, this is an unneeded CFORK fleshed out with historiographic trivia and OR (eg: "The prestigious German music encyclopedia Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart lists no nationality, but this follows the policy it applies to all composers.", "Sources have sometimes changed their practice over time. The Grove dictionary did not always call Mozart "Austrian"; the designation appears to have been added with the first edition of the "New Grove" in 1980."). Merging anything more than a one paragraph summary is UNDUE (and even this is generous).  // Timothy :: talk  15:04, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting as the discussion has become more complicated than it was a week ago. Instead of editors advocating Keep and Delete, we now have those arguing that a Merge would be the best solution. So, I'm relisting this discussion to see if we can arrive at a rough consensus rather than closing this discussion as "No consensus".

The result was no consensus‎. I'm closing this discussion as No consensus because I doubt we will get much more clarity with further relistings. There are editors who want to straight out Keep this article but others who want a Split or Merge. Those two options can be dealt with as editorial decisions with the article and discussions on the article talk page and do not need to occur in the forum of AFD. I encourage you all to pursue shaping this into the article you think is appropriate for the project. But there is enough different opinions and I think initiating a discussion first is the least jarring way for this process to move forward. Good luck. Liz Read!

Chaoxianzu

Bad WP:POVFORK of Koreans in China.

The topic of this article (ethnic Koreans with Chinese nationality) has been the primary topic of the article Koreans in China since 2006 (initial version, October 2023 version). In October, however, User:Strategicasian inexplicably changed the introduction of the latter article to only "non-Chinese nationalities such as South Korean and North Korean people", the complete opposite of the article's previous main focus, and created this new article.

This new article, despite being titled "Chaoxianzu", the Korean ethnicity in China, is almost entirely an original research assay on political issues surrounding the identity of Chaoxianzu and their emigration to South Korea. It cites 25 sources currently – I've checked all accessible ones, and the vast majority of them are fake citations that do not support the preceding text. (It is also immediately obvious, from the way citations are added here, that they are fake.) The only parts that are actually supported, such as the population in South Korea, are also discussed in the main "Koreans in China" article and it makes little sense to duplicate them there.

In the future, the topic of Koreans in China could still benefit from a split between articles on Korean Chinese citizens (Chaoxianzu) and recent South Korean arrivals in China. However it is now being split in the worst possible way: we are getting a extremely low-quality new article on Chaoxianzu, and another article that claims to be about non-Chinese citizens, but still mainly deals with the chaoxianzu. Splitting content about South Koreans from the main article would be a much better solution. Esiymbro (talk) 22:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Talk:Chaoxianzu in Korea. The modifications made to the Wikipedia articles concerning the Korean community in China stem from a necessity to more accurately represent the diverse experiences and identities of Koreans in this region. It seems like you are ignoring the fact that in China, there are not only Chaoxianzu but also South Koreans and North Koreans. Please do not overlook them. The initial article, "Koreans in China," primarily addressed ethnic Koreans with Chinese nationality, known officially as Chaoxianzu (朝鲜族). The suggestion to delete this page seems to conflict with Wikipedia's goal of providing comprehensive information and raises concerns regarding neutrality. As a contributor, I strongly oppose this deletion. CONSTRUCTING CHAOXIANZU IDENTITY Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University Location: Home > Chinese Ethnic Groups > Korean Ethnic Groups > History National Ethnic Affairs Commission of the People's Republic of China I want to emphasize that the data and content I have provided are not products of independent research but are derived from verified and academically recognized sources. The assertion that my contributions are based on independent studies is inaccurate. These sources are well-studied and corroborated. If additional data are required, I am more than willing to provide it. Considering the term "Chaoxianzu" is an established English name in Northeast Asian academic and political discourse, the deletion of this article seems unjustified. "Chaoxianzu" is a globally recognized official name and is crucial in establishing and preserving the identity of Korean-Chinese citizens with Chinese nationality.
Over time, it became evident that the experiences of South Korean and North Korean nationals in China were significantly different, necessitating a more distinct focus. This observation led to the reorientation of the "Koreans in China" article to more prominently include these groups.
The creation of the new article titled "Chaoxianzu" was intended to offer a specific platform for discussing the distinct aspects of Korean ethnicity in China, separate from the broader context of all Koreans in China. This distinction allows for a more detailed exploration of the Chaoxianzu, including their political issues and migration patterns to South Korea. The aim was not to undermine the significance of Chaoxianzu but to grant it a unique and separate focus.
In conclusion, the adjustments made to the Wikipedia articles were driven by the desire to provide more defined and detailed coverage of the various Korean communities in China. While challenges concerning the accuracy of content and reliability of sources have been noted, these can be effectively addressed through collaborative editing and strict adherence to Wikipedia's guidelines. Therefore, I firmly oppose the deletion of these articles and commit to actively contributing additional data to enhance their quality and comprehensiveness. Strategicasian (talk) 18:11, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Tentative keep but I do agree that the article has a lot of significant issues and think the scope of the Koreans in China could be realigned. I've also been concerned with the quality of the article.
My thoughts:
  • Chaoxianzu are an international and distinct group that I think deserve their own article.
  • Koreans in China are a broader category that includes Chaoxianzu, albeit not entirely, as Chaoxianzu are international.
Given the second point, I think the scope of Koreans in China could be Chaoxianzu (specifically in China, maybe mention the Chaoxianzu diaspora), as well as the South and North Korean diasporas in China. The article would then WP:SUMMARY-style mention Chaoxianzu (i.e. a few dense paragraphs with key information only, leaving the rest for the full article), with a prominent Template:Main article that makes it clear the rest of the info can be found on the other article.
Given the issues with article quality, I could see an argument for delete unless someone is willing to significantly improve the issues addressed. I'm on the fence about it. With respect @Strategicasian, I think there needs to be a stronger effort to keep closer to Wikipedia guidelines; you edit WP:BOLD-ly, but I think you're too bold. The information in it I think is not necessarily false or unhelpful, but it has systemic issues that may take ages to organically address. It'd be great if you can do the rewrite; you would need to do a careful read through of the Wikipedia style guides (reading Wikipedia:Good Article criteria is an ok place to start; you don't need to promote to GA, but just follow the principles in the article), and ask for feedback from more experienced users. I wish I could provide more focused feedback, but I have a lot on my plate lately. toobigtokale (talk) 18:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your thoughtful and constructive feedback on the "Chaoxianzu" article. I appreciate your recognition of the distinctiveness of the Chaoxianzu as an international group and the importance of having a dedicated article for them. Your suggestion to realign the scope of the "Koreans in China" article to include not just the Chaoxianzu but also the South Korean and North Korean diasporas in China is insightful. As you can see from sources like "Study on the Adjustment Process of Chaoxianzu during Cross-Cultural Transition in South Korea," "A Taste of South Korea in Shanghai, China's Koreatown," and "Shanghai Municipal People's Government - Site of the Korean Government in Exile, a Symbol of a Long-Standing Friendship," there is a clear distinction between Koreans in China and Chaoxianzu in Korea. Study on the Adjustment Process of Chaoxianzu during CrossCultural Transition in South Korea A taste of South Korea in Shanghai, China's Koreatown Shanghai Municipal People's Government - Site of the Korean government in exile a symbol of a long-standing friendship - Since the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between China and South Korea three decades ago, six South Korean presidents have visited the Site of the Korean Provisional Government at 306 Madang Road in Huangpu District. The statistics of overseas Koreans include South Koreans who are temporarily staying in China. Therefore, when the President of South Korea visits and stays in China, technically, they would be counted among 'Koreans in China.' However, it's nonsensical to include the South Korean President in the statistics for Chaoxianzu. Therefore, there is a need for clear distinction between the "Chaoxianzu" page and the "Koreans in China" page. This is not an ethnic distinction but an objective differentiation based on nationality.
This approach, which integrates a WP:SUMMARY-style mention of the Chaoxianzu with a clear redirection to the main article, seems like a balanced way to address the complexities of these communities.

  • Keep Above editors have shown the article likely passes the GNG and it meets WP:MUSIC's sense of one of the more important labels (which is no suprise, given that it was once Elliott Smith's label); a NCORP pass isn't required here, so that's plenty. The COI editing has no impact on the notability argument, and if the nice tidy discography table is courtesy of affiliated persons...we should be so lucky as to have such COI editing.

  • Keep. The article definitely needs improving but the subject is clearly notable. I'm a bit tired of editors suggesting moving clearly notable articles to drafts rather than helping to improve them. This article also has coverage from NHK [4] which I quickly found - a full 50 minutes on the national TV network in 2011. That's in addition to coverage of a major award in the Japan Times all the way back in 2007 [5]. It appears there's offline coverage from the Kyoto Costume Institute's very reputable journal. Features in collections at the Mori Art Museum and MoMu Antwerp. There's almost certainly more (I searched for about 5 mins) but it quite obviously is far beyond the minimum threshold of the general notability guideline. If editors feel that the article as it stands is not worth keeping, I would not be opposed to reducing it to a few lines and providing these sources as notability for future expansion (which I may even be interested in) DCsansei (talk) 16:09, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I voted to delete back in 2014, and I still think that was the right outcome. The programs have played several more games since 2014, but the new "hook" in trying to establish notability is that "both school campuses are located in cities named Columbia". While this tidbit apparently led the mayors to create a cup, the existence of a cup doesn't necessarily make it notable. My searches turned up passing references to the "cup" in game coverage (e.g., here, here, here, here) but did not find deep coverage of a rivalry. Also, some question whether this is even a rivalry. See here ("Is this a rivalry or not? ... Despite being division foes, the Gamecocks and Tigers have no geographical reason to be bitter rivals, but the powers that be have been trying to make it happen with the 'Mayor's Cup,'"). Finally, the lack of significant history (only two games were played prior to 2012) and the absence of marquee matchups (zero top 10 matchups and only one where both were ranked at all) also weigh against a finding of stand-alone notability.

      Ope, good point. The last four sources from my previous response are independent of the schools and athletic programs. In 2017, the Post and Courier has half an article on the Mayor's cup trophy and what it represents. In 2019, Rock M Nation (a news website with beat writers) talks about how South Carolina is more of a rival than Arkansas. In 2019, a site talks about the rivalry - I'm not too familiar with the site. In 2023, the Missouri Rivals site makes a case for South Carolina to be a permanent rival for Missouri.
      Some others: in 2018, The State interviewed the starting quarterback for Missouri where he revers to this as a rivalry (I see someone else say that Wil Muschamp isn't an independent source, which would lead to the conclusion this isn't independent either. I don't understand, they aren't the university - could someone explain how that is/link to consensus or policy?). In 2018, the Fulton Sun (newspaper) talks about how the rivalry is growing. In 2022, the Columbia Daily Tribune ran a piece with the headline "Mizzou has its main SEC rival". In 2020, the Post and Courier ran a piece that opened with "Rivalry wasn’t created by a hastily made trophy. Rivalry is created by great, classic games. In that sense, South Carolina-Missouri has become one. Nothing like the grudge matches the Gamecocks annually hold with Clemson (and to an extent, Georgia), but a rivalry." Esb5415 (talk) 13:34, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Some more sources:
      In 2019, Saturday Down South reported Missouri players called the rivalry a "'grown man' rivalry" (may not be independent since it's players). In 2023, the Post and Courier wrote another article on the history of "the SEC’s weirdest rivalry", detailing the 2022, 2018, 2023, and 2005 games. In 2022, SI talks about how the Missouri game could be considered a bellwether for South Carolina's seasons. Esb5415 (talk) 14:12, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Another one, cited in the lead: Columbia Missourian in 2022 Buffaloe wants Mayor's Cup to stay in Missouri Esb5415 (talk) 18:24, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • The first two make no mention of the teams being rivals and only have a passing mention of the trophy Red XN, the next two are non-independent and therefore can not contribute to WP:GNG (and even if that wasn't the case, both are also passing mentions in routine pre-game coverage) Red XN. The Post and Courier source's only mention of a rivalry come from Wil Muschamp, an employee of South Carolina, so non-independent Red XN. The last three are Missouri fan blogs Red XN. Definitely not enough here for a GNG pass. Frank Anchor 13:22, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Power Mizzou (an affiliate of Rivals.com) and Rock M Nation (an affiliate of SB Nation) are not fan blogs, they're legit news sites dedicated to covering Missouri athletics.
SB Nation is a sports blogging network and not remotely close to a legit news site. Maybe "fan blog" wasn't the best of words but it is a blog nonetheless and not nearly as reliable as an article produced by a regular media outlet. I'll give you the Rock M Nation one a I overlooked it is from Rivals,, but looking into that reference further, it makes the case for south carolina as one potential option of a permanent rivalry if the SEC were to adopt a 3-6 format for future scheduled (which it did not), but gives just as much reasons that the two should not be rivals as it does that they should. Still a hard no from me. Frank Anchor 14:50, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Rock M Nation one a I overlooked it is from Rivals Power Mizzou is Rivals, Rock M Nation is SB Nation. it is a blog nonetheless and not nearly as reliable as an article produced by a regular media outlet SB Nation is a regular media outlet, I don't see how it wouldn't pass WP:NEWSORG. 3-6 format for future scheduled (which it did not) Only for 2024 (source), but that isn't relevant - it is a source talking about the rivalry. gives just as much reasons that the two should not be rivals as it does that they should I don't read the article that way, but I understand why you say that. I read the article as establishing what "normally" makes rivalries, saying Missouri - South Carolina doesn't have those "traditional ingredients", but still making the case as to a rivalry through "competitive games", "position in the division", and "city pride". Esb5415 (talk) 15:15, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Can you explain how an employee (or athlete) is non-independent? They aren't paid to say what is/isn't a rivalry - they're being interviewed by a journalist, so I'm confused as to how that isn't independent. Esb5415 (talk) 13:51, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They are paid by the university making them directly affiliated with the university and therefore can not be independent. Frank Anchor 14:50, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Post and Courier source's only mention of a rivalry come from Wil Muschamp, an employee of South Carolina, so non-independent
This is not true; the trophy is featured in in almost the entire article in editorial voice: The winner also gets the cup, the “Mayor’s Cup” that was created in 2012, the year Missouri joined the SEC. Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin thought it was a neat idea to battle for something, since the two colleges are each located in Columbia.
A reliable independent newspaper source getting some color quotes and background information from the mayor of the city is not the same as "non-independent" coverage. This is clearly a full article independent coverage of the trophy.
PK-WIKI (talk) 16:55, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And that's not mentioning the rivalry. It's mentioning that a trophy exists (having a traveling trophy does not automatically make a series a notable rivalry). And it's mentioning that one mayor thinks its neat that two cities have the same name. Frank Anchor 17:50, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It certainly is non-independent coverage when the mayor of the city is also the person who purchased the trophy, making him directly involved. Frank Anchor 18:06, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The rivalry and trophy are covered in depth in editorial voice in the articles. Any argument that these don't count because they got quotes from the mayor of Columbia and they are therefor not "independent coverage" is ridiculous; they're full newspaper articles written about the rivalry that include quotes from an elected official who contributed to the rivalry by creating the trophy. That's still independent coverage.
PK-WIKI (talk) 17:04, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct, normally a mayor of a city is not directly affiliated with either university. However, the article explains Columbia, SC Stephen Benjamin purchased the trophy to be passed around, making him directly involved in the rivalry and not independent. Even if that wasn't the case, the extent of the his input is “It seemed to be a perfect time to start a new rivalry, and I called the [Columbia, MO] mayor and he told us it was pretty cool, so it’s something fun,” Benjamin said. Mayors of cities don't start rivalries, and the existence of a cup or the idea of a rivalry being cool or fun do not make it such. Frank Anchor 17:58, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Actually mayors of cities do start rivalries, as established by the significant coverage in reliable sources of these two mayors creating a traveling rivalry trophy and awarding it to the winner of the game.
The article's title is Mayor's Cup (Missouri–South Carolina), not "... rivalry". Tweak the lead if you insist the game is not a "rivalry", but the traveling trophy between the teams meets GNG. The second article, btw, directly states in editorial voice in the headline that "Mizzou has its main SEC rival" so I would be hard pressed not to call this a rivalry.

    I don't understand this discounting of significant coverage in reliable independent sources based on their diligent reporting.
    If the New York Times were to write about a rivalry by getting quotes from the school's athletic director, head coach, star quarterback, cheerleading captain, alumni-club president, and trophy designer all saying that this is their most important and historic rivalry... that only ADDS TO the significance of the rivalry.

This isn't the mayor's personal blog, it's a third party independently-published newspaper story about a rivalry that gets quotes from the people involved. The journalists all write about the rivalry too using editorial voice, not just quotes.

Species name is not formally published, and therefore fails the "validly published criterion" of WP:SPECIESOUTCOMES. There is a lack of coverage otherwise that would indicate a WP:GNG pass. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:26, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. WP:SPECIESOUTCOMES appears to be a sufficient criterion, but not a necessary one, to keep a species. While not having its name formally published, Keurbosia has been discussed in research articles (outside of the Alan Male reconstruction), with well-referenced information about the specimen. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 20:42, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The fact that this is a nomen nudum would, in my opinion, not necessarily mean that we can't have an article, if there was sufficient coverage; Australopithecus prometheus is a nomen nudum and certainly worthy of an article. (We would probably have to lose the taxobox, at any rate) However, I can't see the coverage here. Of the references given, the first does not even mention the term; the second [11] is a peculiar case of "featured passing mention" - they could have used an eggplant for the same purpose; the third is a pretty illustration, but nothing more. I can't access the fourth, but based on its sparse use in the article I assume that it also merely consists of an illustration. That's not enough, and the automatic notability of a validly described taxon isn't there to offset the lack of coverage. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 21:05, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The first reference mentions the specimen otherwise referred to as Keurbosia, although not by that name (page 5, section Enigmatics), describing it in a moderate amount of detail but adding that [t]his fossil awaits a full description. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 21:24, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is no guarantee that "Kerbousia" will be the name used in any future publication. I would hope that a future publication would mention that "Kerbousia" was a word that been previously applied to these fossils, but even if Kerbousia is mentioned in that publication, an editor creating an article under a different name might not check for a Kerbousia redirect and retarget it to the new name.

WP:TOOSOON article about a not-yet-released film, not properly sourced as the subject of sufficient reliable source coverage to exempt it from the primary notability criteria at WP:NFILM. As always, films are not automatically notable just because they've entered the production pipeline -- the minimum notability bar for most films is that they've been released, and films are supposed to get articles in advance of release only if they can be sourced to a substantial volume of production coverage, such that even if they collapsed and never came out at all they'd still likely be permanently notable anyway (e.g. Star Wars or Marvel films). But this just cites a tiny smattering of production coverage, nowhere near enough to confer permanent notability this far in advance of release.
In addition, the page's title is completely unverified in any sources at all, and appears to be an original research attempt at inventing an English title for a film that doesn't have any known English title yet -- but "we don't even know what title the page should actually be at yet" is another reason why this would be too soon. ("Come Back to Life" would be a more appropriately idiomatic translation of the film's native-language title, but that's not properly verified as the English-title of this film either — remember that foreign-language films' English titles are not always literal translations of their original-language titles, so we can't just assume that its English title will necessarily be "Come Back to Life" just because its Spanish title is slated to be "Vuelve a la vida", and have to wait until a reliable source verifies that before we can title an article about it that way.) The film also has no article at all on the Spanish Wikipedia yet, even though it can hardly be more notable to the English-speaking world than it is in its own country. Bearcat (talk) 18:44, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article have four citation from the principal newspaper of Venezuela. About the titlee its translated as that in the official instagram account of the movie. in addition of that the film have noticed for be development by the directors of " Papita, Mani, Toston" The most sucess Venezuelan movie in recent years.

@Bearcat GEORGEB1989 (talk) 21:10, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It has three citations from newspapers — the fourth is an IMDB-like directory, not a newspaper — and three citations from newspapers is not enough to make a film notable while it's still only in the production pipeline. Films in the production pipeline can collapse and fail to ever get released at all, so you need a lot of production coverage, not just three hits, to make a film notable in advance of release — as in so much production coverage that even if the film did collapse, its failure would be permanently notable in its own right. Normally, films are not notable at all until we can source a firm premiere date, and even after the premiere some films can still fail to pass our inclusion criteria at all: films still just don't always get the necessary depth of coverage at all, so they simply aren't exempted from having to have good sourcing just because they've been released.
And what other films the directors made is irrelevant, as notability is not inherited, and you've also failed to address the problem with the page title at all. Bearcat (talk) 21:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep per WP:NFILM, since there are sources about its principal photography, it has already been screened at the Guadalajara Film Festival and outher sources allow the article to meet WP:GNG and WP:NEXIST: [12][13][14][15].
That said, the article is in poor shape and could really use improvement. --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:04, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I did some improvements to the article. There probably are going to be even more sources once the film is screened to the public, but the current coverage should warrant it being kept. --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:14, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep per the above. The sources are minimal from a WP:NFF perspective. Not enough that I'd recommend creating an article, but not so sparse that I'd recommend deletion in the face of an upcoming scheduled release. Eluchil404 (talk) 23:51, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Southern News and The Charger Bulletin are the student-run newspapers at Southern Connecticut University and the University of New Haven. They are therefore not WP:INDEPENDENT and get little or no weight in assessing whether the topic passes WP:GNG. In this case both schools compete in Division II, which is the third tier of college football below FBS and FCS. Moreover, neither program has a history of particular prominence even at the Division II or College Division levels. Purported rivalries between such lower-level programs with no real history of prominence are not necessarily notable. See WP:NRIVALRY ("Sports rivalries are not presumed notable.") My searches turned up some coverage of the basketball series, but a quick review didn't turn up anything of real depth about a football rivalry, just a couple brief passages. See this and this. If others come up with more/better coverage, I'll keep an open mind. Cbl62 (talk) 22:24, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Lack of actually in-depth, independent coverage as either a series of games (the actual topic of the article) or an alleged "rivalry". It's clear that the game series exists, but it is not an independently notable subject and should just be covered in brief at the articles on the teams or at the indistitutional articles under sections about sports/atheletics departments. The first source in the article is in-depth, but is not independent; the second is irrelevant to the subject (just a source for a particular date, and mentions only one team/institution and no "rivalry"). The third source, above, lacks depth and just mentions the "rivalry" then gives brief coverage of a specific game, while being dominated by notices of upcoming and unrelated events.
    As laid out in detail at User:SMcCandlish/Rivalry game mess, this is yet another case where the notion of rivalry game (an organized series of matches between two teams with a degree of geographical proximity, often but not always with a trophy and often but not always with a distinct name, sometimes with "Rivalry" in it) has been sorely confused with that of sport[s] rivalry (a sports subculture of antagonism between the fandoms of two teams). This is reparable with a bunch of article renaming and recategorization to account for the ambiguity (which has arisen because rivalry game is often reduced to rivalry as a shorthand in unclear sports journalism), and probably something that needs to be proposed for cleanup work at WT:SPORT.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  17:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He had a treasure in his library of rare manuscripts of Hadith, Tafsir, and narrators (Rijaal).

This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.
  • The article mentions that the BDP is notable for its connection to the Khilafat Movement, but I couldn't find any information on the Khilafat Movement Wikipedia page or in the articles linked to it.
  • Lead mentions that he is an Islamic scholar but a WP:BEFORE on Google Books, scholar, JSTOR and newspaper returns with 0 results almost and I am not able to find primary sources of his works as well.

At this point [20] (not the assessment table above), Sources 1,2 and 4 are the same. 3 is unreliable per WP:RAJ and has no sigcov. 5 Only mentions BDP's father. 6 passes if someone can verify it. 8 is about BDP's son and not BDP themselves. Jeraxmoira (talk) 08:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeraxmoira: while I agree with you on SIGCOV, I can't see how the book written in 1992 by Sarah F. D.

Comment The article does its subject no favours - it begins "Sayyid Ihsanullah Shah Rashdi was an 19th century Islamic scholar" but the next section says he was born in 1896. The quote in the "death" section is mangled to make no sense. What were his actual achievements, beyond running a (private?) library? The Sarah Ansari book Sufi Saints and State Power: the Pirs of Sind, 1843-1947 (Cambridge, 1992) ought to be an excellent RS, bang on this very obscure area, but it is only used to ref the litigation with his brother. He has no article in any other language. Khilafat Movement lists two other books, from BRILL and Columbia, that ought to be RS & very much on this topic. Does he appear in either?

Could someone review references 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7? They contain crucial information mainly written in Urdu. Additionally, for more insights, consider searching for "Sayyid Ihsanullah Shah Rashdi" سید احسان اللہ شاہ راشدی in Urdu, as there is an article on Urdu Wikipedia.

  • Hi I think there is a misunderstandings on this mentioned pdf, Pir Ihsanullah Shah is known as Pir Jhandey or Pir of Jhando as well, Sames term For his father is used but here you can see https://ibb.co/ckV9FPP Pir Turab Ali Shah is second name of Rushidullah Shah he's mentioned on it and also Pir Jhandey Shah which term is also used for Ihsanullah Shah Rashdi, more about his achievements are mentioned in a reference nnumber1.
    You can confirm Pir Jhandey Wala term being used for Ihsanullah in a reference number 1 page number 10, hope it helps 🙂 SaneFlint (talk) 18:22, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    p39 reads It was presided over by Pir Syed Abu Turab Muhammad Rashdullah Shah, Popularly known as Pir Jhandey Waley. At this point, I am wondering how "Pir Jhandey Walay" is being used for both the subject and his father. Jeraxmoira (talk) 18:32, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    his father and himself the subject both were known by same slogan Pir Jhandey Wala or Pir of jhando. Here you can see https://ibb.co/QbYR7bs reference number 1 page number 10, mentions same name Pir Jhandey. Also one thing is worth noting that in a pdf it says Pir Abu Turab Shah rashdi and Pir of Jhandey Shah attended but in a 39th page Pir Jhandey Shah is term used for Pir Rushdullah Aka Pir Abu Turab which was a second name of Rushdullah Shah as well.🙂 SaneFlint (talk) 18:44, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gravel Hill tram stop

Non-notable tram stop. All the references link to the Transport for London webpage, which is a) primary, and b) not WP:SIGCOV. The content on this article feels like something more suited for Fandom. A lot of the tram stops on {{Tramlink RDT}} probably need review as well. Also, see WP:NTRAINSTATION. — MATRIX! (a good person!)[citation unneeded] 17:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Tramlink with no prejudice against a single article for the route. Many transport enthusiasts get very emotional about Wikipedia articles on stations and stops, feeling that every station or stop has a right to a full article. But these articles end up as generic clones all saying the same thing, and all based on the same primary sources. This doesn't help our readers. There is a very good reason why bus companies release their timetables as a single table, not a set of slips of paper, one for each stop, each saying something along the lines of "Jones Street Bus stop is a bus stop on line 23, preceded by Ink street and followed by King's avenue, and is operated by Mercedes-Benz Citaro buses painted in a green livery. The Jones Street bus stop primarily serves passengers alighting or embarking at Jones Street and traveling to other locations that aren't Jones Street but that can also be reached by big green buses on line 23, possibly involving getting off the bus and interchanging to something else". Where a station has history, notable events, and secondary coverage, give it an article. Where it doesn't, write a single article about the entire route.

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of England-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:23, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Broader discussion needed. Many articles about Tramlink stops are similar in quality to this one and they should be discussed as a complete set. With one exception, the new-build stops were built and opened at the same time so the available sourcing is likely going to be pretty similar for all of them and the same people are going to know what exists and where to find it. Leaving this as a redlink is simply not going to happen (it's obviously a plausible search term, and afaik no AfD about a railway station or tram stop article with no verifiability issues has resulted in a "delete" outcome, only "keep", "merge" or "redirect"), so the questions are whether to merge or redirect and what the target should be, but as the only plausible targets that currently exist are Tramlink (too large to merge anything too, to high level to be useful) and List of railway stations and tram stops in Croydon (also too broad and not suitable as a merge target) a new article will need to be written (possible title: List of Tramlink stops) to contain the clearly encyclopaedic information (at minimum the opening date, location and entry/exit figures) a merge is in practice what needs to happen if the article can't be expanded (I've not looked to see what coverage not in the article already exists). However rather than having the identical discussion about the majority of the 39 stops we should have one single discussion that determines which stops have sufficient coverage for standalone articles and which don't, and what the overview article looks like. Thryduulf (talk) 18:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Thryduulf: I like the idea, maybe it would be a good to construct a notability table of all the tram stops and depots, and then make a mass nomination. We can probably use Fandom as a starting point for List of Tramlink stops. — MATRIX! (a good person!)[citation unneeded] 21:04, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep pending a broader discussion per Thryduulf. There is no situation in which deleting a single article of a tightly defined set (such as the 39 tram stops of this system) makes sense. Either all are notable (my suspicion, given the amount of public discussion that likely went into the project), or only the National Rail interchanges are notable, or only those at current/former National Rail stations (about half) are notable. But there's no reasonable possibility that only this single station is not notable, so it makes no sense to AfD it alone. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:55, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Pi.1415926535: "All are notable" I doubt it. Most stops like this one are ... well ... just stops. Nothing has ever really happened to them. Would you give a bus stop an article? I have no prejudice against something like List of Tramlink stops. The exact same thing happened to London buses a few years ago - a lot of the routes were purged for not being notable and were replaced by List of bus routes in London. But yeah, I support broader discussion — MATRIX! (a good person!)[citation unneeded] 18:28, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It's not about the size of the stop; it's about whether there's sufficient coverage to pass GNG. Articles I've taken to GA include a "station" with no platform, a station with a small platform that lasted only a year, a station with nothing but bus shelters, tram stops very similar to this one, and indeed bus stops - all of which have plenty of coverage. In the modern era, planning and construction of major transit lines tends to generate sufficient press coverage that even individual tram stops often meet GNG, particularly if it goes through multiple revisions due to public pressure. I can't personally verify whether any individual Tramlink stop meets GNG - I don't have access to UK newspapers or relevant books/magazine - but I suspect that an editor with the relevant knowledge and source access could very well find sufficient coverage to pass GNG. In any case, the most important point here is that taking a single member of a defined set to AfD almost never makes sense. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:29, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Garuda3: This is a lot like the purge of London Bus routes. Also, you say "Rail infrastructure is as encyclopaedic as anything else". These tram stops have like no reliable sources or SIGCOV. They are not notable just because they are tramp stops, see WP:NTRAINSTATION. But yeah, I would say broader discussion is required on review. — MATRIX!

Witticism of no independent notability. Wikipedia is not the Jargon File (which has been used as a reference here despite being one of the most notoriously unreliable sources on the Internet.)

  • This dates from the time when people really did import the Jargon File uncritically into articles. Our standards are far higher now. Indeed, they were far higher then. I remember a few repeating-the-Jargon-File articles being deleted, or completely rewritten using far more accurate sources, back around the middle 2000s. This is not a real properly documented concept in computing. You won't find anything other than computer humour lists with this. No-one truly regards languages as "write only" and seriously discusses them as such.

    This is unverifiable from reliable sources, because in the world outside of jokes it isn't true. And it isn't properly documented standalone as a joke. At best, there are reliable sources that give 1 sentence to saying that APL, specifically, is jokingly called this, by "wags" and putting "write-only language" in quotation marks. (Torben Ægidius Mogensen's 2022 Programming Language Design and Implementation says "jokingly" and uses quotation marks, Kent's and Williams's 1989 Encyclopedia of Microcomputers has "wags".)

    That's at best 1 sentence in APL (programming language), and a not particularly good one at that. (The stuff that grew in the article at hand around 2011 about something else was rightly challenged and removed in 2019 for being a joke on "blogs and wikis", as is discussed on the talk page.) I notice that our APL (programming language) article proceeds to present an unsourced serious counterargument to what is only a joke assertion in the first place according to these reliable sources. Ironically, editors trying to seriously correct what is a joke is even in the edit history of the article at hand. The very first version in 2004 tried to seriously counterargue the joke and point out that it wasn't really the case.

    The best that you'll get for other computer languages is publicity blurbs on book jackets and letters to the editor in amateur computer magazines. No, Bjarne Stroustrup doesn't actually seriously discuss this as a concept either, despite what Google Books string matches might tell you. This is an encyclopaedia, not yet another computer humour book. People can look up stuff that is wrong; that doesn't mean that we should have badly sourced wrong stuff, that people have been pointing out is wrong since the inception of the article in 2004, solely in order to satisfy them.

  • Keep Anyone with any knowledge of Scottish Politics knows that this topic is, for many purposes, quite independent of the wider UK situation (even although it's the same parliament). It has quite distinct political consequences - and that (and this is the only metric that matters) of particular usefulness to the reader.

  • Keep I am keen not to personalise this discussion, however I have to question the referrers motivation being based more on spite than anything else and would ask that previous talk discussions in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election and especially the topics of 'Scottish Election Study' poll and 'Polling in Scotland for next United Kingdom general' election article and form a view as to the referrers motivation. I would also ask that you look at the efforts of 2 of these contributors to arbitrarily close down the article by installing a redirect. In addition by coincidence (i am sure) the article has had its categories referred for review. All of this in the space of the last 24 hours. Reluctantly I have to come to the view that they have not acted in good faith.
There is talk of this being a sudden fork, which is provable nonsense, the current article developed from a long standing article on Polling in Scotland for UK election and has slowly developed and grown to its present form, which aims to provide a neat clean and easy way to view the Scottish context, in addition it compliments 2 other unique Scottish Polling articles on Holryood polling (devolved parliament) and the long standing article on polling about independence
On to the topic created
Politics in Scotland is very different from that in the rest of the UK, be that in Elections for the devolved parliament at Holyrood, on Independence and yes how they view and vote on elections for the UK Parliament, these facts themselves merit it having its own article. If deleted this unique information will buried in the huge UK article. Wikipeadia is a very broad church and there are numerous examples of articles covering the same or very similar topics, on the Topic of UK polling there are already several that I know of, on polling in Scotland for UK election there is at least 3. There is plenty of scope for this diversity and Scotlands unique position deserves to be recognised.
I would argue that the article is better maintained with more consistent than the subsection of the UK article, linking to the key data provided by pollsters, the best information is always to link to the data tables provided by pollsters, and to remove links to less reliable sources such as social media and many newspapers.
Lastly why do the referrers have the view that only one all encompassing article is such a good thing? Leave the article alone and please stop this petty vindictive behaviour, you are not the keepers of all things polling in or out of Scotland and should stop behaving in such an arrogant and high handed manner.
There is sufficient difference in the articles that both should be allowed to continue and flourish. Soosider3 (talk) 19:07, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - it would be very helpful if we could concentrate on the content and policy rather than the motives of editors. This is undoubtedly a content fork, so the question at AfD is whether it is an acceptable content fork or else a WP:BADFORK. Looking at the content, it is almost an exact duplication of the Scotland section of Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election. This makes it a WP:REDUNDANTFORK. As long as the same information is to be kept and maintained side by side this will qualify as a bad fork. It is the old bugbear of unnormalised data. Duplication of effort and inconsistency will creep in, and it is not at all clear how the reader is served. This could be repaired if the consensus here were to make it a WP:SPINOUT. The parent article can just point to this article, and the information there can be deleted. Should it, though? Surely when we are talking about the United Kingdom general election, the reader is better served by having all the information in one place. The article is not oversized. This one looks to me like a redirect but I'll hold off to see if there are good reasons for a spinout first. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:36, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would usually agree wholeheartedly with you on the matter of concentrating on the discussion, but in this instance the behaviour of the instigators of this has at the very least to be questioned as it brings into question the good faith principle.
The article under discussion stands on its own merits, polling in Scotland is separate and unique this alone merits it as a separate article and not one buried deep in another article, readers already have the option of looking at UK level polling. There is mention of merging with another Scotland polling article, the fact that this also exists demonstrates that there is a need and in fact it is desirable to have separate articles, or should we be looking at classing that one as a fork as well.
This article does not bother with a whole range of other items in it because its aim is to provide a simple clean layout that readers knows will deliver clear and concise information on polling in Scotland, the quality of the data it provides is of a higher and more consistent quality than other related articles, in particular the consistency with which it links to the most reliable sources of information on polling ie the published data tables of the polling companies rather than to less reliable sources such as social media, clients articles, newspaper articles, this gives a much greater depth of information removed from subjective interpretation. Have a look at the other articles, many of their links are to less reliable sources. The deletion or merging of this article would be a loss and particularly to the readers. My country deserves to better represented that being the 11th item in the index Soosider3 (talk) 22:44, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Soosider3 doesn't like various consensus decisions at Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election and wants their WP:OWN article. We are discussing a single election. It makes sense for the opinion polling for that election to all be in the same place. Bondegezou (talk) 10:32, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus requires participants to be acting in good faith and in a sensible manner following facts where they are present. Regrettably your logic is somewhat flawed as it would suggest that only one article should exist on polling for the UK election, I'm sure that's not what your proposing. Soosider3 (talk) 11:50, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest there should be one polling article per election, which is the norm for most opinion polling articles across Wikipedia. There is only one Opinion polling for the next Spanish general election or Opinion polling for the 2022 Brazilian presidential election, for example. (Of course, we should and do have separate articles for separate elections, like Opinion polling for the next Scottish Parliament election.) Bondegezou (talk) 15:57, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Next United Kingdom general election in Scotland (edit: or Delete, with the intention to transclude the original section at the UK polling article into the Scottish general election one) This article was originally that article, but seems to have been duplicated at some point. Nonetheless a fork. Not commenting on whether a Scottish "fork" of any GE article should exist considering that article also exists, with a generalised one being more worthy. I wonder if transclusion can be done to ensure the tables on both are the same? Plus the UK article is very long. DankJae 20:10, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Amended position, open to deletion, should this be a pushed for unclear consensus. DankJae 16:59, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I am aware of this article, it follows the fairly traditional layout with index box and information about state of parties etc, I tend to feel that much of that gets in the way of the core purpose of Polling Articles, which is why the Polling in Scotland for next UK election was created, to simplify and present a clearer less cluttered look. I have noticed a difficulty with maintaining the links to the data tables and would be happy for you to use the table for your article, not sure how we do that technically but and happy to learn. Soosider3 (talk) 22:49, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Next United Kingdom general election in Scotland per DankJae. As per my comment above, this is clearly a content fork, and equally clearly a WP:REDUNDANTFORK which is a policy reason to delete. It forks Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election but the content is also entirely in the scope of (and already on the page of) Next United Kingdom general election in Scotland. A case for splitting out home nations from the parent article can be made, but a further spin out of the opinion polling from the Scotland article is a much harder case to make. In any event, these are not spin outs as they stand. They are content forks. Some rationalisation still required even with a merger, but the merge will reduce the unnecessary duplication. Soosider3 argues that sourcing in this article is superior (without apparently noticing that this makes the case for rationalisation and data normalisation). I cannot see that the sourcing is very different here, but on the basis that some sourcing would be copiable from this page to the merge target, merge is the correct result over redirect or delete. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:59, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    An interesting argument, however I would point out that the UK polling article is in itself a fork from a previous and still existing article that covers the some matter but with lots of additional material such as state of parties etc in fact it has a very long history going back to all the previous parliaments back to the 1990s. Logically we should by your reasoning all merge into that original article. No I think the article under consideration here stands on its own merits, happy to link the tables into the Next UK in Scotland article but to basically eradicate it is is to deprive readers of options of how they wish to see the data. Soosider3 (talk) 22:45, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    No, what you describe are related articles. This one is a WP:REDUNDANTFORK because it contains exactly the same information. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 23:10, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I would correct you on at least one matter, the content is not exactly identical, both have chosen to treat polling from the Scottish Electoral Study (SCOOP) in a different manner, one follows the advice of the pollster YouGov and does not compare them with other polls, the other article doesn't. I would urge you if you have the time to look at the discussion on that very topic on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election#Scottish_Election_Study_poll
    I would also say that Polling in Scotland is very different from the rest of the UK and by that alone deserves to be in its own article. Soosider3 (talk) 11:44, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    In which case it is a WP:POVFORK. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:50, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Next United Kingdom general election in Scotland. I find Sirfurboy's logic persuasive. Aslo, from a policy perspective, there is no current indication that the polling in Scotland is inherently notable separate from the election itself, nor from the UK polling if that is the consensus merge target. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 13:53, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This comment is tangential to the AfD discussion, but covers possible sequelae. There have been a number of suggestions to merge with Next United Kingdom general election in Scotland as opposed to Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election. Either way will still leave us with the same material replicated at both those articles, violating WP:REDUNDANTFORK. I suggest we set up a transclusion of the relevant section at Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election (the more heavily edited article) to Next United Kingdom general election in Scotland. Any comments anyone? Bondegezou (talk) 14:13, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds like a good idea. It'd be good to have the material kept up-to-date in a single location that has the most eyes on it (and, selfishly, where I can notice if things have been added so I can update the graph!) Ralbegen (talk) 20:34, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, if a transclusion can be set up, that would be fine. Failing that, it would be useful if the table were in one article or the other and then cross linked. But a transclusion will make the information more readily accessible. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 21:25, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your input.
Close the Afd
The discussion seems to have spun off at a tangent. Where comments appear to be more to do with Polling Tables between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_United_Kingdom_general_election_in_Scotland which has little if anything to do with the original AfD about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_United_Kingdom_general_election_in_Scotland, that discussion should happen somewhere else and not on this topic line.
So if we could get back on topic, the summary from the initial AfD was 2 for deletion, 2 for Keeping, a neutral, a comment and Merge options that were actually proposing different things on different articles so perhaps not reasonable to see it as a unified and clear view that leads to consensus.
The original discussion was unclear on the identified topic and therefore I believe the correct course of action is to close down the AfD, leave the article as it is as there is no clear consensus for change. Please encourage the unrelated discussion to be had somewhere else. Soosider3 (talk) 14:04, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article's entire contents are ten words, backed up by ten references in which this activist is mentioned in passing in nine, and not at all in one. All of the coverage provided is in relation to a group of southeast Asian fishermen stranded on a ship unable to dock in the UAE. All that I can tell from the nine passing mentions is that Ms. Sayyed is a social worker acting as a spokesperson for the stranded workers. I'm normally a critic of the "no claim of significance" speedy deletion criteria but I don't know why Ritchie333 declined this one. It also was created by a sockpuppet known for repeatedly recreating biographies of non-notable people, who already reverted draftification. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:10, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a procedural note, I declined the A7 because the article had citations to multiple sources, some of which name-checked the subject in the title. I don't have any strong views on whether the article should be kept or deleted; indeed AfD is probably the right thing to do. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:16, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point, I also noticed those name-checking sources when I was writing this up. I had in my mind that it was more than one but the only one I see now is Unpaid Indian workers in Kuwait get help, thanks to social worker Shaheen Sayyed, and even that doesn't really go into much detail other than saying she supported the workers. But here's something interesting: that article opens with text describing a government minister meeting with the workers, who were carrying placards saying that the only person helping them was Shaheen Sayyed. Another article titled Kuwait social worker a messiah for scores opens with identical text, and also uses that text as a teaser, and that article still doesn't give her much significant coverage. Were those two articles written from provided copy, i.e. a press release meant to promote the cause or raise the profile of the activist? Did they hire this editor to write them a promotional Wikipedia bio? I don't know, but it's certainly suspicious, especially given this sockfarm's history. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:57, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. None of the cited references is substantial coverage of her. (Incidentally, I can see that the presence of multiple references mentioning her name could perhaps be balanced against the lack of a claim of significance in the article, and that there may be a case for letting that be taken into consideration when reviewing an A7 nomination, but when none of those references does much more than barely mention her, I find "obvious decline A7" (my emphasis) a surprising edit summary.) JBW (talk) 20:37, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Personally I'd cut Ritchie some slack on that. A7 is perhaps the tag most frequently used inappropriately, and I'm probably guilty of similarly snarky removal summaries too. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:45, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    JBW User:Ritchie333/Plain and simple guide to A7 has further information, including the reasons for creating the criteria in the first place. Incidentally, those reasons, to stop unregistered users creating articles like "Joel Snodgrass is the principal of Podunk High School, Idaho. He specialises in teaching math." were stopped anyway by preventing IPs from creating articles in late 2005 following the Wikipedia biography controversy, and the further when non-confirmed editors stopped being able to create them in 2018, following this RfC.

  • Delete - Putting aside the sock and likely UPE activity, I evaluated for notability alone. The references on the page simply mention here with others and do not go into depth. I found this in a search which talks more about here in-depth, but it isn't independent as it is full of quotes and says in the intro "in a conversation with" which indicates the majority of the content was supplied by her. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:53, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a novel, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for novels. This is written principally in-universe, without showing much evidence of real-world significance -- the attempted notability claim is that it was a "Canadian independent bestseller", but that's sourced only to an informal list personally compiled by a writer for a single minor literary magazine, which undermines its own reliability with an "I acknowledge that this list is not at all perfect. It is only a small sampling of the data out there" warning, and thus isn't a notability-making bestseller list.
The only other source cited here is a single book review, which is fine but not enough all by itself -- even just a basic WP:GNG pass requires a lot more than just one GNG-worthy source.
Additionally, it warrants note that the author doesn't have a WP:BLP at all -- and while that isn't a speedy deletion criterion for books in the same way that it is for musical albums whose artists don't have articles, it does still raise the question of how the book can be notable enough to warrant an article if its author isn't.
There just isn't anything here that would be "inherently" notable enough to exempt this novel from having to have more sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 14:30, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: it's really hard to assess books because the publishing industry contains as many publicists as it does publishers. No book is released in print without, behind the scenes, the publishers going to a lot of trouble to arrange interviews with anyone likely to publicise the author, wangle reviews wherever they can, and do everything possible to raise the book's profile. It's really hard to sift through the large quantity of Google hits on this book and work out which are truly independent, which not. In a way, I'm sceptical about articles on books, and feel that they are only warranted if a book has sustained coverage. We will probably only know whether a book is truly notable a couple of years after it appears. And it seems odd that we consider deleting The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse which is still on sale (in multiple formats including audio books) more than 100 years after it was written, because a Google search can't find reviews (ummm... there wasn't an internet when it would have been reviewed...) while possibly keeping this one, because it has got reviews, having been born in the publicity/internet age. I almost feel we should have a near-moratorium on books (and films!) that have just been released, but getting a Wikipedia article is now a standard part of the publicity expected by the industry.

Like other articles on this subject matter, there is the possibility that the subject discussed is notable. However, the article fails to establish a strong basis for its periodization, both with its content and with sourcing. Sourcing itself is the largest issue, as only a single reference is present; previously, two blog posts supported some additional material redundant to Castilian War. ~ Pbritti (talk) 12:45, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The blogs are written from a professional and according to Wikipedia:Newspaper and magazine blogs as it can be acceptable sources. Syazwi Irfan (talk) 04:49, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I agree with @Syazwi Irfan: the blog by Rozan Yunos meets the exception criteria for blogs. Much of the content on the site are republications of his column "Golden Legacy" in the now defunct The Brunei Times and he does cite other sources. S0091 (talk) 20:48, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This seems like a poor basis of rationale. Sure, the blog might be within the realm of being reliable, but it fails to provide a basis of for supporting the notability of the subject. The blog posts would be better suited to verifying the specifics regarding the historical they describe rather than being used as original research regarding a military that, as far as present sourcing is concerned, has no basis of being described as a single continuous institution. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:22, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This book examines the types of textiles and the roles that they have played in different situations, such as serving as signifiers of social status, wealth, and political prominence. The study focuses on how locally woven textiles have been used to express and construct identity, especially Brunei Malay identity and Brunei national identity." 1.

The result was delete‎. The reasons given for keeping are "Subject is notable", "The subject of the article is obviously notable"; both without any indication why; "A notable social media personality who is mentioned in the same breathe as MrBeast, Patrick Bet-David, Dan Bilzerian, Dixie D'Amelio, Paul Logan, etc", but notability is not inherited from other notable people merely because one is mentioned together with them (I am sure I have sometimes been mentioned in the same sentence as notable people, but I am not notable); "Notable as an online personality and influencer and falls into that category"; "The subject seems notable enough", again without any indication why; "His online presence alone is good enough for a Wikipedia page"; I am not personally the greatest fan of the current notability guidelines, and I think there is a case for including "online presence" in the guidelines, but at present that is not so; "His notability is uncontestable", well, several people have contested it; "Coupled with the businesses he founded", which I can only assume means that we should regard notability as inherited from a business ot its founder, but we don't; "Page should stay", again without any indication why. Not a single one of those addresses Wikipedia's notability guidelines, so we have no policy compliant reasons for "keep" at all. JBW (talk) 22:25, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't pass WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NCREATIVE, or WP:ENTERTAINER. None of the sources are all these three things at the same time: (1) independent of the subject, (2) reliable, (3) in-depth in terms of coverage. The person may have had some unspecified roles in some productions (World's Greatest Social Stars, Top 25!, etc.) but there is no evidence that these are significant productions and there is no evidence that these were significant roles. There is some coverage of a thing associated with the subject called "monk mode". Coverage of that is not meaningful in terms of sources useful for establishing notability either. The person has not made "unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment" and is not "known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique". His YouTube channel, TikTok and other online presences are not encyclopedically relevant at all. —Alalch E. 12:44, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete: Sure, I have seen the Gadzhi's social media content, and they are undeniably very well known. In spite, it does not really meet WP:N due to the reliable sources. Maybe draftify is the best option here. Seems like a fan made page, but I respect it!

Delete: as per nom, no sigcov to speak of. However, I am concerned that you only seem to be submitting AfDs (like at least 1 a day!) for women footballers. Wikipedia's gender gap is bad enough as it is. Are you using women's football categories to find articles to suggest for deletion? If so, please consider the possible unintended negative consequences of this. Akakievich (talk) 10:32, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: Hey there. I am very aware of the gender gap and understand how my actions may come across. To be frank, I am clearing obvious GNG fails from a single editor who created thousands of two- or three-sentence stubs before WP:NSPORT2022, when a requirement was put in place for sports bios to have "at least one reference to a source which has significant coverage of the subject." I have done this to a couple of editors who created non-notable stubs en masse, and I nominate up to five a day, but this specific user was especially prolific and happened to focus on women's footballers. I try to add SIGCOV when I find it (1, 2, 3, 4), but it's not often. JTtheOG (talk) 10:57, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see, thanks for clearing that up! If you're targetting non-notable stubs by a single editor, that sounds fine to me. Just wanted to ask the question since you do sometimes see people claiming good faith while evidently using all-female categories (or categories related to a single nationality, sexual orientation, etc etc) as deletion hitlists and I couldn't figure out the pattern behind your deletion work. thanks for the quick reply :) Akakievich (talk) 11:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I get the gender bias issues, but non-notable articles are what they are, so no reason keeping them around just to score points on a gender parity scale. Oaktree b (talk) 01:02, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, I agree. But that doesn't mean it's ok to subject articles about women to more thorough scrutiny than those about men. It is a fact of life that some non-notable articles will remain on Wikipedia, so it does matter how we go about finding and deleting those articles. Akakievich (talk) 11:43, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I can only vote on what's presented to me. Cleaning up wiki is never a bad thing. Oaktree b (talk) 20:03, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I never said otherwise. Notice I voted delete before I even asked the question about JTtheOG's strategy (which in this case imo is completely fine and has no bias problems) – in any case, a non-notable subject is a non-notable subject and the article should be deleted. But lots of positive, small-scale actions CAN have an unintended, detrimental _large-scale_ impact.
Therefore I do think it is worth just asking, because it would allow us to alert a well-meaning user to the possible negative consequences of their actions (if they're unaware) or discuss/monitor/mitigate the larger-scale impacts if they refuse to change their approach. Basically, I think male and female subjects should be treated the same on Wikipedia, and currently that's usually but not always the case. On this AfD there's no problem though, as we have already established :) so I don't see the point in discussing this further, I think we mostly agree and any remaining points we disagree on won't affect anything practical. All the best, Akakievich (talk) 21:56, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to be either completely non-notable or worse, a hoax. None of the five sources even mentions the organisation (despite one being a press release), and this includes e.g. this Reuters source which has nothing even remotely mentioning this organisation. Searching with the original Korean name gives a whopping 9 results, most of them Wikis or their Facebook page. Looking for "World Talent Exchange and Sharing Organization" isn't any better.

I came across this article when looking at what's going on with (the name of) Park Ho-eon/Peter Park, who is listed as a Chairperson of this organisation. Perhaps, if this organisation is really as shady or non-existent as it seems to be, a closer look at everything else related to Park needs to be done, preferably by people who can read Korean and can judge whether the sources and claims are legit or not. But this AfD is only for the "World Talent" etcetera. Fram (talk) 09:12, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A video game character that sadly fails WP:GNG. Reception is based on listicles and passing mentions; only one reference mentions him in the title ([39] from Kotaku, and while the source is reliable, the coverage is very brief and relates to his inclusion as a guest character in another game). This trivia about his name from a similar and seemingly non-notable outlet (TheGamer on Wikidata, no Wikipedia articles about this werbsite) is not very helpful, either. Scholarly sources (GScholar) are just passing mentions. A minor academic article mentions him in the title ([40]) but fails to discuss him in any serious length. Ditto for this student thesis (I can't tell if this is master or below, seems to be just a course project?), and then we get even weaker sources, none of which sadly seems to have even a shred of usuable analysis. I'd be happy to be proven wrong (one of the early games in the series was one of my first video games, growing up...) but unless we can't find good sources, the best WP:ATD-R I can think of would be a redirect to the Monkey Island (series) that he is the main character of.

I'm not sure this passes NSINGER as written, and I can't turn up any new sources to push this over the edge – Fstoppers is the only secondary decently-reliable source with some amount of SIGCOV, but most of the meat of this article is sourced to interviews, most not in RSes. Yes, Fable has been involved with two charting singles, but "featured artist" and "co-writer" mean he's not really the primary artist credited with the charting – I don't think that guarantees notability against a fail of GNG. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 18:40, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - subject passes WP:MUSICBIO#C2. I do note that the Official Charts Company credits Venbee and Fable as equals, so I've amended the article to that effect.--Launchballer 20:49, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
okay, here's my question on this: how come WP:NSONG says that charting on a national chart makes the song maybe notable, but it automatically confers notability to the ~artist? even WP:MUSICBIO says those criteria don't automatically grant notability. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:21, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Cited sources are mostly passing mentions just like here and here, although they are credited as a primary artist on a charting song, there's no SIGCOV and a WP:BLP cannot be based on a charting song. I see here that the subject was/is signed to UMG and they would pass #5 per WP:MUSICBIO if they released at least two albums under the label but unfortunately they don't even have one. here is another two paragraph source about the subject releasing a new song. I think it's TOOSOON, maybe if they have a certified record or have been nominated for award(s) then yes they would definitely have an argument but I couldn't find any of that. Again WP:MUSICBIO states that the subject may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria... emphasizing "may", subject never headlined any RS news, I don't think that "may" applies here. dxneo (talk) 04:50, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Royal88888, we have all read the article that's why it is here now. The second song on the lead statement is NOT his song, next time please do a research before voting, or at least leave a "comment" instead of "keep" or "delete". dxneo (talk) 05:02, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dxneo I stick with my vote. I re-read it. Co-writing a song and having credits is just as good for meeting WP:MUSICBIO terms, as there is nothing in guidelines suggesting otherwise. The guidelines apply to musicians also, not just artists. Royal88888 (talk) 02:44, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: an IP closed as keep. It seemed suspicious, so I reverted it, but if consensus is that it's valid, i'm happy to let it stand. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:19, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. On one of the singles ("Low Down"), the subject is indeed a performer, meeting even a tight reading of the SNG. Criterion 2, met here, is straightforward and held at the same level as criterian 1, which is effectively a phrasing of GNG targeted toward musical acts. As always, we'd need some clear evidence that we're unable to write an encyclopedia article on the subject to override the presumption of notability that a notability guideline provides. Reviewing the sources in the article, there's enough verifiable information to summarize to create a start class or better article, so I see no reason not to use the guideline. —siroχo 08:45, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which is why I didn't mark the site down for reliability. The issue of this piece of article is that though it is long, the only fact there that's cited for is in the first sentence that's also the first paragraph. The second paragraph is a mainly a quote from the subject, either from an interview or from a press material. The third is about the singer, but in the context of the release of the EP, feels promotional. Hence the ? from me. – robertsky (talk) 02:37, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rebuttal. BIO isn't a "policy/guideline"? Also, I don't know which articles you've been looking at, but - as I stated - only one has a second (dubiuous) source, and both being written by Macleans implies that they're not neutral/independent. I've removed one entry, as I didn't notice that the 2nd Laird represented his shire. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:28, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • [42] has three sources. And I don't think being a descendent of someone from 400 years ago makes John_Patterson_MacLean a non-independent author. I did miss the link to WP:BIO due to the (fairly amusing, I will admit) joke, my fault. Still, I tend to believe that 100s year old historical figures should have a much lower bar for inclusion and I stick by the notion that merging folks by area they were laird of would be a fine way forward. Hobit (talk) 16:08, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- While I have only checked the primary article nominated, I see nothing in this but genealogical info. I see no substantial reason to object to the one source for COI or as a non-RS. However Bio-articles need to record what a person has done, not merely that they existed and had relatives. Being a laird is not a title of nobility, only gentry. My reason for deletion is that the subject is NN. Possibly the subjects could be listed in the articles on the places of which they were lairds.

  • Comment As proposed, this doesn't work. The only argument listed (as a request to merge) is that the current article is just fancruft not up to wikipedia's standards, so presumably the intention is delete-and-redirect, not merge (hence being brought here instead?). I agree that there's too much fan-cruft trivia in the article, which should be trimmed. But this is the title character of a major series by a highly notable author. I'd be surprised if the subject isn't notable, and there is a case for arguing that if the article's got a load of rubbish in it, clean it up rather than deleting.

  • Keep. I'm finding scholarly articles that analyze the character in depth. I was able to access "From Rebel to Reactionary: Class and the Politics of Travis McGee" which is purely about interpreting the character across the novels. A google scholar search also turns up all kinds of promising (but non-digitized) articles with names like "Travis McGee as Traditional Hero," "The Reluctant Hero: Reflections on Vocation and Heroism in the Travis McGee Novels of John D. MacDonald," "Travis McGee-Chauvinism or Chivalry?", "Travis McGee, Tarnished Knight in Modern Armor." (The first few pages of gscholar results are mostly the books themselves, but keep going.) These articles promise an overall analysis of the character, not just the series. The article itself would benefit from some serious pruning but the character looks independently notable to me. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 03:53, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced for an extended period of time with no evident basis for notability. Present sourcing are all PRIMARY. Formerly a PROD; dePROD was on grounds that the EL90 guise of this type was notable but there is no statement toward notability present in article. Pbritti (talk) 03:07, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure this counts but these tubes are widely mentioned in Google Scholar results. That said, I didn't go through all 262 mentions to look for any that are only about the 6AQ5 vacuum; I doubt there are.
These comments would also apply to the 4 tube articles proposed for deletion: 5Y3, 6N3P, 6N24P,and 6P1P. @Pbritti, I wanted to discuss those 4 with you first before possibly removing their PROD tags but I hadn't gotten around to it before this AfD.

@A. B.: Sorry you didn't get a chance to reach out before the AfD got rolling but I'm glad we can chat here! Frankly, ILIKEIT arguments have a compelling case here. I would be lying if I said I didn't feel a little guilty while submitting those PRODs and this AfD–I'm sure a few people rely on Wikipedia and sites like radiomuseum.org for their hobbyist information. However, I sincerely feel this subject is better suited either to another website or to a list like List of vacuum tubes (as lamentably messy the latter is). If you would like, I wouldn't mind doing some more digging alongside you. I don't have high hopes, but I'm not exactly concerned about my AfD stats. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:14, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. For starters, take a look at the radiomuseum.org link for this tube that I cite above. It's got a lot of information but not much prose. See what you think.

Beam tetrode and 6V6 (which already lists it in the section about similar valves) would also be worth considering as redirect/merge targets - I think they're more likely to be helpful to someone searching for 6AQ5 or EL90. But it's a pretty common valve and there are older books that use it as an example of a small beam power tetrode, e.g. Orr's Radio Handbook (Sams, 1975). Adam Sampson (talk) 21:12, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Adam Sampson, thank you.
I’ll look at these. I’m not a tube guy but I have many hobbyist friends that are.
I’m generally in favor of densifying Wikipedia - same content, fewer articles. Wikipedia sprawls over 6+ million articles of variable quality. Probably several million of those are small articles that could be condensed into several hundred thousand bigger, more reliable articles - easier to adequately monitor and maintain.
I know I don’t want to redirect the 6AQ5 article to the big List of vacuum tubes article but I’m happy if 6AQ5 gets merged (with no loss of content) to an article about this general type of tube. A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 21:47, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever - I may be away before this AfD is closed. Based on this thoughtful discussion, I trust y'all to do whatever the right thing is with this article as well as with those 4 PRODs. A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 18:22, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. @Pbritti. I deprodded this one rather than the others as it's perhaps the most likely to be notable. I didn't say it was notable in Wikipedia terms but "well known" and may attract comment because of its European EL90 designation. Also, the valve's still in use. The other reason was out of interest as to how and whether notability could be established for this type of valve; sort of a test case. Rupples (talk) 08:07, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No individual electronics part number is notable enough on its own to be suitable for an article in a general interest encyclopedia. Article of this type never give any explanations for the reason for the part number's development. Put it in a list of vacuum tubes, use it as an illustration in the history of beam tetrodes, but no need for an individual article. --Wtshymanski (talk) 19:17, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It may be that List of vacuum tubes needs some reworking before we can properly start merging such articles, so we shouldn't rush to delete, but if someone can propose a better merge target for now, I'd probably support it. Lastly, I'd like to point out that WP:5 says Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias. We're not limited to general interest articles. —siroχo 06:29, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have added two citations, there are more that exist at the Internet Archive[54]. For example this article[55] is built around discussion of this tube but I can't make use of it to improve the article. As with many older things the amount of online discussion is limited, but a simple search at archive.org will show that this was a widely used tube. I think @Siroxo makes some good points about the desirability of special-interest articles particularly for something like this where there's no obvious redirect target. Oblivy (talk) 02:50, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Rereading my comment, I want to clarify that by saying "a simple search" I had no intention to call out @Pbritti for the extent of WP:BEFORE searches. Going to archive.org isn't essential even if it's a good move for pre-digital era subjects.

  • JoelleJay makes a good biography of living persons point about biographies of minors. Age is a factor here, per Wikipedia policy. This biography of a minor hangs off several sources that aren't about the article subject, but about several movies and list their cast members, and a single source that is. The one source that is is a television interview that is a couple of minutes long. There's nothing in the sources documenting this subject's life and the documentation of this person's works is not multiply, independently, and in-depth sourced. Ironically, the article's very creator is making the case here in this discussion that documentation of this person's work is slim. For a 60-year-old actor with no documentation of xyr life and only mentions as cast members in documentation of xyr works, this would be an edge case. When documentation of a child's life and works is slim, we should err on the side of not including that child in Wikipedia. Multiple in-depth independent documentation of this person's life and works has to exist and the person has to be older than an age that per policy causes us to set the bar particularly high for content.

  • Delete. WP:NACTOR applies only to "significant roles", which I think is referring to a leading actor or other person with a critical role in the film. This is a long way from that, I think.

A character from Star Wars video game and later, few novels and such. Reception is based on listicles ("chosen by IGN as the 12th greatest Star Wars character") and blog-like churnalism comments ("non-notable chournalist X listed Revan as one of the Star Wars character that she wanted in Soulcalibur, another listed the character as one of his favourite Star Wars video game characters", etc.). My BEFORE shows little - yes, he appears in titles of some chournalist media, and some toys including LEGO, related to him, got some niche reviews. My BEFORE shows little - a few passing mentions in scholarly literature that I found do not seem to meet WP:SIGCOV and that do not go beyond the plot summary. Per WP:ATD-R, I suggest redirecting this entry to either to some list of SW characters of the game he is the main character of (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic).

    Helping the reader who is looking for, perhaps a Thomas Ainsworth alive in 1500. The dab page shows clearly that none of the TAs on whom we have information in the encyclopedia is the man they are looking for.
    The logic is "Would "Thomas Ainsworth" be a valid redirect to page "xyz" per WP:Redirect and in particular WP:R#KEEP?" If so, and the answer is "yes" for more than one value of "xyz", then a dab page, or complete set of hatnotes at the base title, is needed. Here, where we have useful distinguishing information about two of those TAs, the dab page serves a useful purpose and should be kept. PamD 09:29, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This disambiguation page has a primary topic for the ambiguous title while all the other ones are included in the same article Affleck baronets. The criteria WP:G14 may apply like that for Insta (disambiguation) (deleted by UtherSRG, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Insta (disambiguation)), as the only one extant Wikipedia page got disambiguated is Gilbert Affleck. A hatnote on the top of primary topic is sufficient like that in the case of WP:ONEOTHER. NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 04:09, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - When there is only one meaning to a term and no article, but an obscure reference to an article with a different name, we sometimes create a redirect. The disambiguation page serves the function of those redirects, for unlikely but possible search terms. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:14, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • All of the items on the disambiguation page are only cursory mentions. Do any of them have actual WP:POTENTIAL to become of interest to the readers? Otherwise, the hatnote might as well just point to the Affleck baronets list, it's not terribly difficult to find Gilberts in there. --Joy (talk) 14:18, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, as there are sufficient mentions of people named "Gilbert Affleck" who are noteworthy enough to have their name properly listed in an encyclopedia article, such that it might be useful to a reader to have them pointed to in the event that Gilbert Affleck is not the subject of their search.

This article has been unsourced since 2010. A quick Google search and Google Scholar search have not brought up any reliable, secondary sources. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 03:41, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:

    A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:

    1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

      The review notes: "This fascinating 14-volume set of space and aviation reference books has a direct Montgomery connection, since New Horizons, the publisher, is a division of Fuller And Dees Marketing Group of Montgomery. This factual set would be a leather in the cap of any publisher. "Above and Beyond" is sure to become one of the most notable reference works in the country. Billed as the first complete encyclopedia of space and aviation, the set is certainly complete and it is as interesting to read as a good novel."

      The article notes: "It appears primarily designed for junior and senior high school students, although the entire family would find the wealth of information useful as they watch developments in space and in the super-sized airliners. Biographical data on airmen who have made history is one of the most significant contributions the set makes. One apparent missing discussion, however, is the controversy over who flew first. The encyclopedia gives the credit to the Wright brothers, but it makes no mention of Gustave Alvin Whitehead. ... Nevertheless, the entire set makes a significant contribution to an understanding of aerospace."

      The abstract notes: "Gr 6 Up-- Billed as "the world's first encyclopedia devoted exclusively to aviation and space science," Above and Beyond is avowedly aimed at the school and library market, with a target age bracket of 10 to 16 years. Although older children and adolescents will be the main readers, adults consulting the set will not detect misleading simplifications or condescending writing. "

    4. "Above and Beyond: the Encyclopedia of Aviation and Space Sciences". Booklist. Vol. 67. May 1971. p. 707. EBSCOhost 527111769.

      The excerpt notes: "Designed for the upper elementary and senior high school student, [this encyclopedia] will also be of interest to adults. . . . In general the information is accurate. . . Extensive coverage is given to space exploration and astronautics and to the related field of astronomy. Considering the emphasis of the books, coverage of the physical and biological sciences is not so extensive, but it is adequate. . . . Somewhat more than 20 percent of the material is devoted to military applications of aviation and space research. . . . [There are] useful biographies of men and women associated with aviation and space activities. . . . [A] weakness is the lack of bibliographies. . . . [This set] collects in one source much more information on aerospace than is likely to be found in the more general encyclopedias. . . . Recommended."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Above and Beyond: the Encyclopedia of Aviation and Space Sciences to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

It's just a high school. Counterfeit Purses (talk) 03:36, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BurgeoningContracting A Google search shows lots of results but any high school is going to be mentioned a lot in local media. Which of those search results are non-trivial coverage in reliable, independent sources? Counterfeit Purses (talk) 17:12, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how you define trivial or independent, as the sources are both. Perhaps you did not look at the "news" tab like I had stated. A Newspapers.com search yields thousands of results going back to the establishment of Dayton ISD in the late 1800s. BurgeoningContracting 17:25, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BurgeoningContracting That link doesn't work for me. I don't have access to Wikipedia library. The first result I get in a Google news search is "Dayton school board considering policy change for students who attend games" in the Dayton Daily News. As I said, any school will have mentions in the local news - football game scores, graduations, etc. Is there any in-depth reporting about the school from outside of the local community? Saying why this school is notable? Counterfeit Purses (talk) 17:37, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dayton Daily News is an Dayton-based paper. Not Dayton, Texas. I find it remarkable you are not able to access the Newspapers.com link, but you can certainly see this version. Just because you cannot see or find the results on Google does not mean they do not exist. There are too many examples to link. BurgeoningContracting 17:59, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BurgeoningContracting You're right. So it's not even an article about the same high school, which just shows that having a lot of search results doesn't mean that something has non-trivial, independent coverage in reliable secondary sources. Counterfeit Purses (talk) 18:08, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand what you it is that you mean by "trivial." I'm afraid this is a case of disruptive behavior to make a point since I am handing you these sources into your own hands. BurgeoningContracting 18:21, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BurgeoningContracting "Trivial" in this case is the opposite of "substantive". See WP:SIGCOV. I have no idea what you mmean by "I am handing you these sources into your own hands". Which sources? Counterfeit Purses (talk) 18:34, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If one is to read the significant coverage guideline, it will read, "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." Obviously, both search options I presented, again, yield various results that satisfy this requirement. I will no longer respond to your replies, since it seems this is a case of plain disruptive behavior, more specifically, a case of I Can't Hear you BurgeoningContracting 18:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BurgeoningContracting I can't hear you because you aren't answering my question. I have told you that I can't access the newspapers.com articles and the Google search results aren't helpful. What are the reliable sources that provide significant, independent coverage to show that this high school belongs in Wikipedia? If you have some, why not tell me what they are or add them to the article? Counterfeit Purses (talk) 20:47, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leeper's place names book doesn't say what this spot is, and the topos show that it is a passing siding on the old Cotton Belt line, straddling the state line. It's clearly not a settlement, just a NN rail point. Mangoe (talk) 03:54, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I found SPC 1890, p. 122 saying that "Alden's Bridge and Arkana are also new railroad towns.". So it's a town. Would that the "Arkana" chapter of Temple 2008 were usable! It explains everything, with populations, postmasters, and federal writers projects; even the fact that this is the same place as Arkana, Arkansas in Lafayette. Uncle G (talk) 07:06, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, it was a town. There's nothing there now. Mangoe (talk) 04:12, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Actually there is, and Temple 2008, p. 356 even lists it. As I said, it's a damn shame that Robert D. Temple self-published and has undiscernable expert credentials. All that we have in the meantime are SPC 1890, p. 122 and the Federal Writers' Project, which I have now managed to track down (Temple just mentioning the FWP without title, date, or anything to go on), and the somewhat dubious ALTGA 1990, p. 197 saying "several stores, a saw mill, church and a post office". Uncle G (talk) 11:20, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        • No, Temple (p. 356) says "The town is gone, though, except for the name on a topo map, a UP rail siding, and the Arkana oil and gas field a few miles away in Louisiana." If we are to use him as a source we can definitely put the place in the past tense. Mangoe (talk) 23:25, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
          • A UP rail siding and an oil and gas field are not nothing. Ironically, there's excellent support elsewhere in Temple for the claim of it being a ghost town. But as I said, I cannot discern any expert credentials for Temple. You might want to check the article; it is in the past tense. Uncle G (talk) 12:02, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Arkana was a small town on the border of Louisiana and Arkansas, headquarters of a railroad company, with a school, church, lumber mill, rail station, post office, 1900 census population of 12, a 1920 census of 63, and a 1940 census population of 63. The community was noted in regional newspapers from Shreveport to Bossier City to papers in Arkansas, and the Bossier City Banner had a weekly news column about Arkana, which it regarded as a prosperous, up-and-coming community. I'm seeing over 200 news articles about Arkana from about 1910 to about 1945, when Arkana seemingly fades from history. I've expanded the article; more work is in progress, but this was a notable town, with sources found in the Library of Congress, discussion of the community's resources in state publications in Baton Rouge, and regional coverage in the Shreveport area. I'm really overwhelmed by the number of sources: the Arkana and Eastern Railroad itself could be its own article, given time. (BTW, I wouldn't use the Temple (2008) source; not only is it self-published, it doesn't match what any of the other sources say about Arkana; it claims Arkana was a community of about 500 residents. No other source confirms or even approaches those numbers). Anyway, this article should be kept and expanded further, not deleted: there's no reason to delete an article which can be sourced,. Firsfron of Ronchester 17:00, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Clearly was a town on Newspapers Extended, e.g. in the May 1912 Bossier Banner-Progress: [57]
  • Keep per WP:HEY. Nice work in finding sources and expanding Firsfron, and for working out how to filter out all the other hits for $arkana$ which I would guess put most people off. (It put me off when I first saw this.) Cielquiparle (talk) 21:59, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neologism, single-source spam. fgnievinski (talk) 01:37, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - not notable. This somewhat generic term can refer to multiple unrelated things. This article is specifically about a kind of imaging technology for earth-monitoring and imaging satellites. I did a lot of searching and came up empty-handed for satellite-related papers authored by anyone else besides the author of this Wikipedia article, JFBolton. I did find some other scientific papers that used this term in unrelated ways (example: botany) but they are not applicable here.
JFBolton wrote and edited this article in 2007-2008 and has no other contributions since.

This topic does not meet WP:NCORP. I did not see any reliable, independent sourcing that covered the company in detail and is not just a routine announcement like acquisition. The main source that exists, "Long Boom or Bust", The New York Times, is not independent of the subject since it is a profile of its CEO. बिनोद थारू (talk) 02:27, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. More than enough in-depth coverage found in multiple independent reliable sources, including The Economist (1998); The New York Times article by Steve Lohr (1998); the TIME magazine article (2004) by Chris Taylor. In terms of coverage of its reports, there are articles like the one in Earth Island Journal about the GBN scenario planning for the U.S. Department of Defense. Yes, articles that incorporate interview content need to be evaluated carefully, but the articles mentioned above do include independent observations, analysis, and assessment of the subject, in addition to fact reporting and fact checking. Agree though that the most in-depth article of all, the one by Joel Garreau in Wired, does not count as independent, as the author himself was a GBN member when he wrote it.

    I agree to retract nomination based the new sources brought forward. New York Times article is a CEO profile so not independent however. बिनोद थारू (talk) 00:38, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks @बिनोद थारू but you cannot simply categorize articles in broad strokes as "interview" or "CEO profile" and then dismiss them. You have to read and analyze the content and assess what is there. In this case, the article is written by Steve Lohr, a respected business journalist for The New York Times, and when you read it, it's not a CEO "puff piece" like you might find in Inc. magazine; it is analytical and explores criticisms and shows that Lohr took time to do his own independent research and interview other experts for their opinions.

    Here is the excerpt from the New York Times article:

    Peter Schwartz is a professional marketer of big, brow-furrowing ideas. By 2020, he says, the internal combustion engine will probably have gone the way of the dodo bird as conventional automobiles are replaced by hybrid cars powered by fuel cells that mostly use hydrogen.

    A telecommunications revolution, Mr. Schwartz believes, is coming even sooner. Thanks to big satellite projects, connections for high-speed Internet, telephone and video will be commonplace in six years or so. The world will be wired, inexpensively. By 2005, teen-agers in villages in developing countries will be chatting on video phones as they surf the Net.

    By 2010, Mr. Schwartz predicts, breakthroughs in biotechnology and gene therapy may enable science to reverse aging and extend life. The prospect here, he insists, is not merely a prolonged old age but living for decades in one's biological 40's.

    Yet these are mere ingredients of Mr. Schwartz's biggest idea, which he calls the Long Boom. Its thesis is that the world is witnessing what Mr. Schwartz calls the beginnings of a global economic boom on a scale never experienced before, driven by waves of fundamental technological change and free-market economics.

    Based on how it is written and how it lends all the attention to the CEO, I concluded that it is a promotional piece for the company. बिनोद थारू (talk) 03:35, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That's why you have to read the article all the way to the end! Cielquiparle (talk) 04:43, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Withdrawn‎. Apologies I did not realize there was a recent AFD. Regardless, I must note that the match-up having a cute name does not make it a rivalry – no sources use the term – so it should not be listed at List of NCAA college football rivalry games.

The two teams have played just four games, decades apart. All sources are expectedly routine coverage that any college football games get – just because someone made up a cute nickname does not mean it's a notable topic or even a "series" as described in the intro.

Identical set of problems as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/King (Snow White) has. Minor character from fairy tail, plot summary + information on who played him in some modern adaptations, very poorly referenced, no analysis/reception, and my BEFORE finds nothing. There is a bit of coverage of the Huntsman from the modern The Huntsman film series, but not much outside plot summary/casting, although the existence of that franchise makes searching for this already generic name hard :( Fandom has an unreferenced section on character development, that is arguably better than what we have (https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Huntsman_(Snow_White_and_the_Seven_Dwarfs)). Can anyone find anything to rescue this? The best I find is the use of the character name in the title of this minor academic article, but contents seem to ignore him (or at least my search of the pdf fails to turn anything of use). Otherwise, we can discuss redirect targets I guess... Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:49, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or merge with the character section of Snow White. There's a lot out there online to find sourcing for most, if not all, of the above. Not sure I understand what this could be a coatrack for. There's just a lot of variations and remakes of the Snow White story. — Maile (talk) 02:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Snow White. Nothing worth keeping as the article is entirely in-universe content. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 23:09, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Snow White - Better than the now deleted King article, since this character actually does exist in most versions of the story. But there is still no significant coverage in reliable sources within the article itself or presented in this AFD that demonstrate that they are a character that is notable enough to pass the WP:GNG for their own article. The character's role in the original story is covered in the plot summary of the main Snow White article, making it a good redirect target. The rest of this article is simply a list of appearances of the character in various adaptations, and those appearances are generally described in the articles for each of those adaptations.
