Here we are again, a year after the fourth deletion discussion was closed as Delete. Speedy was declined so we are here to decide yet once again if this meets notability guidelines. Nothing since the last AfD shows notability. Note that most of the press is from reliable sources, but it is all similar to this which is unreliable churnalism and falls under WP:NEWSORGINDIA.

- Given that nearly all of those sources are about individual schools and not the entire collection of schools, it would be helpful if you would explain to us how you think they inform this discussion. Please remember that this discussion is only about this list article, not the article about each school. ElKevbo (talk) 20:19, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Weak Keep: I agree with the "keep" outcome of the three prior AfDs that this meets notability for a list article. At least five sources talk about Ivy League business schools as a group--not the best sources but usable. What I don't like is a list article that consists of only six items. I would not be upset if there were a way to merge this table into another article about the Ivey League colleges but I can't find a good option. The phrase Ivy League originally applied to a group of private schools but is now used as the name of a collegiate athletic conference (which is what the Ivy League article is about). Rublamb (talk) 20:45, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- I think we need to be very critical of sources for this topic given the immense industry of consultants, tutors, and scammers who write about anything "Ivy League" solely to promote themselves and write without any depth, rigor, or interest. ElKevbo (talk) 21:35, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- The term "Ivy League Business School" has been broadly used in the cultural lexicon for several decades, as justified by the sources provided. It is a useful term for prospective students because it conveys value to employers and business professionals, who often associate significant prestige with an education from an "Ivy League Business School." This term commonly refers to institutions such as Harvard, Columbia, Penn, Cornell, Dartmouth, and others.
- On the other hand, the term "M7 Business School" was coined in 2015 by the website Poets & Quants (source: Poets & Quants article). This website profits directly from admissions consulting firms that advertise on its platform. While admissions consulting firms have capitalized on the popularity of the "M7" designation, data shows that Ivy League Business Schools, on average, have higher starting salaries and lower acceptance rates compared to M7 schools.
- If there is any concern about the validity of these terms, perhaps the article titled "List of M7 Business Schools," which was created within the past year, should be reconsidered for deletion. 68.175.0.155 (talk) 00:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- We need significant coverage of a topic from multiple, reliable, and (ideally) independent sources. Being "used broadly in the cultural lexicon" is not sufficient.
- If you think a different article should also be nominated for deletion, you are welcome to nominate it. I agree that the sources for the M7 list are marginal at best and a deletion discussion could easily go either way. ElKevbo (talk) 00:49, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Culural lexicon is just one example. See previous discussion. 86.62.29.106 (talk) 03:02, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- @ElKevbo: I think this is the correct question to ask when evaluating this article. It would be worthwhile to evaluate the publishers of these sources. Although, there might be more reliable sources that have similar content. I'll see what I can find. Rublamb (talk) 05:08, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- I think we need to be very critical of sources for this topic given the immense industry of consultants, tutors, and scammers who write about anything "Ivy League" solely to promote themselves and write without any depth, rigor, or interest. ElKevbo (talk) 21:35, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. The issue here is the notability of the subject, rather than the quality or usefulness of the article. The subject lacks inherent notability and, as already pointed out, there are sources for business schools individually, but not collectively. There are hardly any articles talking about Ivy business schools as a whole, and so the widespread, independent secondary coverage usually required to justify notability isn't satisfied here. GuardianH (talk) 01:10, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Simply believing a topic is not notable is not justification to pretend that a subject doesn't exist. See previous thread. 86.62.29.102 (talk) 03:30, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sources 2 through 5 discuss Ivy League business schools as a group, not just idividual schools. That meets notability for Wikipedia and for a list article which is the standard to apply to this AfD. We do not consider the usefulness of an article as part of a AfD as that is totally subjective. Rublamb (talk) 05:02, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete This grouping appears to be based on inherited notability from the patent universities rather than being about the business schools themselves (which appears to be a key distinction between this and the M7 grouping). The articles discussing this group seem to reinforce this, being listicles of the business schools at Ivy League universities rather than substantial coverage. Robminchin (talk) 02:29, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Not true. The Ivy league was established after many of the universities had established a business school. 86.62.29.106 (talk) 03:05, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. A cursory search of scholarship in academic publications about business indicates that conceiving of the business schools at Ivy League universities (or "Ivy League business schools") as a group is something that happens in reliable sources. Non-exhaustive examples follow:
- Ted Tapper and Ourania Filippakou, "The World‐class League Tables and the Sustaining of International Reputations in Higher Education", Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management 31, no. 1 (2009): 55–66:
In the United States it is the Ivy League business schools that provide the entry route into the inner sanctum of the key capitalist institutions
- Roland Deiser, Designing the Smart Organization: How Breakthrough Corporate Learning Initiatives Drive Strategic Change and Innovation (John Wiley & Sons, 2009):
It is a colorful universe, which includes major players such as Ivy League business schools that provide top-notch executive education
- John Saunders, Veronica Wong, and Carolyne Saunders, "The Research Evaluation and Globalization of Business Research", British Journal of Management 22, no. 3 (September 2011): 401–419:
For example, although the Ivy League business schools on America’s east coast are each hugely strong by world standards, they share resources across their marketing or finance PhD programmes.
- Catherine Paradeise, Jean-Claude Thoenig, Stéphanie Mignot-Gérard, Emilie Biland, Gaële Goastellec, and Aurélie Delemarle, "Relevance and Excellence in Higher Education Vocational Schools: Business Schools as Institutional Actors", in The Institutional Development of Business Schools, eds. Andrew M. Pettigrew, Eric Cornuel, and Ulrich Hommel (Oxford University Press, 2014):
City has been very successful, mainly in finance. 98 per cent of its MBA graduates rapidly get a job, with salaries often higher than those of Ivy League business schools.
- Graeme Currie, Julie Davies, and Ewan Ferlie, "A Call for University-Based Business Schools to 'Lower Their Walls': Collaborating With Other Academic Departments in Pursuit of Social Value", Academy of Management Learning & Education 15, no. 4 (2016): 742–755:
Ivy League business schools such as Harvard have advantages in terms of finance, facilities, and well-connected alumni to facilitate interesting collaborations.
- Peter Cappelli, Rocio Bonet, and Monika Hamori, "The Changing Ranks of Corporate Leaders", California Management Review 66, no. 2 (2024): 5–29:
The Ivy League business schools, associated with higher social class in terms of the income and social status of their students, had a long head start on other MBA programs.
- Ted Tapper and Ourania Filippakou, "The World‐class League Tables and the Sustaining of International Reputations in Higher Education", Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management 31, no. 1 (2009): 55–66:
- Non-academic reliable sources, like journalism, also group the Ivy League business schools, such as in these non-exhaustive examples:
- Natasha Singer and Duff Wilson, "Menopause, as Brought to You by Big Pharma", The New York Times, December 13, 2009:
While Wyeth has faced periodic complaints about its blockbuster menopause drugs, the latest lawsuits have turned the company’s menopausal hormone franchise into the kind of case study dissected at Ivy League business schools.
- Eleanor Pringle, "Hotshot Wharton Professor Sees $34 Trillion Debt Triggering 2025 Meltdown as Mortgage Rates Spike Above 7%: 'It Could Derail the Next Administration'", Yahoo Finance March 3, 2024:
Among the illustrious nameplates adorning the offices of Ivy League business schools is one Joao Gomes.
- Natasha Singer and Duff Wilson, "Menopause, as Brought to You by Big Pharma", The New York Times, December 13, 2009:
- The business schools of Ivy League universities are also grouped together in nonfiction books published by major non-university presses (the following are non-exhaustive examples):
- Quinn Spitzer and Ron Evans, Heads, You Win! How the Best Companies Think—and How You Can Use Their Examples to Develop Critical Thinking Within Your Own Organization (Touchstone Books, 1999)
Ivy League business schools are pitching techniques to "catch the new wave"
- Greg Farrell, Crash of the Titans: Greed, Hubris, the Fall of Merrill Lynch, and the Near-Collapse of Bank of America (Crown Publishing Group, 2010):
Instead of hiring the best and brightest graduates of Ivy League business schools by waving the prospect of seven-figure and eight-figure pay backages, BofA preferred hiring aggressive young men and women from less prestigious schools, who were willing to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty on behalf of the bank, not for the promise of an obscene amount of money.
- Walt Bogdanich and Michael Forsythe, When McKinsey Comes to Town: The Hidden Influence of the World's Most Powerful Consulting Firm (Penguin Random House, 2023):
Gary's labor force had little idea of what to expect from these highly paid consultants, some graduates of Ivy League business schools.
- Quinn Spitzer and Ron Evans, Heads, You Win! How the Best Companies Think—and How You Can Use Their Examples to Develop Critical Thinking Within Your Own Organization (Touchstone Books, 1999)

- Delete: I have a few degrees from one of these Ivies and I've literally never heard the phrase "Ivy League business school" so it is suspect for me right off the bat. I do think in most of the examples cites above, the references are passing, and are more about the university themselves than the specific schools. The article certainly might be useful, but it definitely isn't notable. Jjazz76 (talk) 05:36, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Based on this comparison, should we also delete articles discussing Public Ivy, Ivy League Medical Schools, Ivy League Law Schools if one has never heard the term? Also useful but not notable given prior comments is false. 86.62.29.110 (talk) 06:01, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- I'd certainly welcome those discussions. Public Ivy does seem to have more general notability. I think Ivy League law school, which is a term I've heard has probably the strongest case. Ivy Medical School might be a weaker keep, but yes let's have those discussions if we need to!
- Again, the articles cited above seem like mere passing references to me. Jjazz76 (talk) 21:53, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- We don't look at personal experience in determining notability, but rather rely on the nature and number of sources. In this case, there are a variety of sources that discuss Ivy League Business School; our job is to critically evaluate those sources. Furthermore, as a graduate of a Public Ivy, I suggest we would not have the phrase "Public Ivy" with first having "Ivy League" in common use. Rublamb (talk) 23:42, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- But do the sources demonstrate real coverage or just a passing mention? To me what has been shared is just the latter, passing mentions, oh Ivy Leagues have business schools. Wonderful! Same flaw with the ACC business school article or the Big 10 business school article. You can draw a box around any group of items and call it a coherent group but at some level it is just made up if no one has ever heard it used before. This article is delving into the world of fantasy-land. Jjazz76 (talk) 17:43, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- The difference is that the ACC and Big 10 are sports conferences. The term "Ivy League" pre-dates the athletic conference with the same name and has a specific meaning with regards to a type of college and a type of education. It is not an artificial grouping with regards to the discussion of academics. Rublamb (talk) 19:54, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Keep:Wikipedia article on Ivy League business schools should be retained as it meets the platform’s notability criteria, including the requirement for significant coverage from reliable and independent sources. While some advocate for deletion based on a perceived lack of collective coverage, historical discussions and decisions (AfDs) have consistently upheld the article’s value. Notably, all Ivy League MBA programs except the Yale School of Management were established prior to the Ivy League's founding in 1954. This historical fact underscores the longstanding academic presence and significance of these institutions, separate from the Ivy League athletic consortium. Although this might prompt a reassessment of including the Yale School of Management in this particular grouping, it does not justify the deletion of the article as a whole. These schools are internationally recognized as some of the most prestigious universities, contributing significantly to both academic and cultural frameworks. This recognition justifies the notability of a collective article, as it embodies a widely acknowledged grouping within both academic circles and broader societal perceptions, meeting Wikipedia's standards for significant coverage from reliable and independent sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.62.29.110 (talk) 05:41, 5 January 2025 (UTC) Obvious LLM is obvious, struck 35.139.154.158 (talk) 02:15, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Keep This grouping seems to be highly referenced by multiple sources and is noteworthy. Simply not liking something for being notable is not justification for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.239.6.150 (talk) 03:59, 8 January 2025 (UTC)Striking another VPN vote, likely a sock 35.139.154.158 (talk) 00:19, 9 January 2025 (UTC)- Just a note that there have been two other AFDs on this article when it had a different page title:
- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists, which says, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list." Through her extensive research, Hydrangeans (talk · contribs) has shown that "Ivy League business schools" has been treated as "a group or set by independent reliable sources". This source from the peer-reviewed journal California Management Review that Hydrangeans listed says (and which was released under the free license CC BY 4.0) says:
This is but one example that shows that Ivy League business schools have been studied in academic sources. Cunard (talk) 13:17, 11 January 2025 (UTC)But where those MBA degrees were earned mattered more. The Ivy League business schools, associated with higher social class in terms of the income and social status of their students, had a long head start on other MBA programs. There were five Ivy MBA programs in 1955 (Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, and Wharton). It is difficult to trace back the size of those Ivy League programs in that period, but it is not too difficult to imagine that they accounted for a considerable share of the 3,300 total degrees that year: If the Ivy programs were even half the size that they are now—they total 3,680 graduates in 2021 (with the addition of Yale, which added an MBA degree later)—they would still account for more than half of all MBA degrees around 1955 when the 1980 cohort would have access to them. But they should be a trivial share by the end of the period given the massive growth in MBA programs that came from new programs at other schools.
Even if we assume that the Ivy programs were the same size in 1980, 1991, and 2001 as they are today, they would have represented only 8% of MBAs in the 2001 population, 5% in 2011, and 3.6% in the 2021 population. What we see instead, though, is striking. In 1980, the elite MBA programs associated with Ivy League institutions accounted for 45% of those degrees for the executives in our sample, roughly in line with our guess as to their percentage of all MBA degrees 25 years earlier. By 2001, however, Ivy degrees represented less than 8% of all MBA degrees (calculations based on 1976 data) and yet they still accounted for 25% of the MBAs for the top executives in the Fortune 100. In 2011, Ivy degrees accounted for 5% of all MBA degrees awarded in the United States and 23% of MBA degrees in the Fortune 100 executive ranks. In 2021, the share of Ivy degrees dropped to 3.6% but remained at 23% in our sample. (The decline in elite MBA degrees among the top executives was mostly offset by a rise in the percentage of MBA degrees from state universities in the United States, from 18% in 1980 to 31% in 2021.) In short, even though the share of Ivy MBA grads declined, the preference for them had to have increased dramatically given how much rarer they were in the population.

A MySpace band that never released an album. Had several notable members that were in SNFU, but Slaveco. is only mentioned in sources as a minor, failed side-step to that project. There are literally no sources that focus on the band as an independent, notable entity. Why? I Ask (talk) 19:43, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- With apologies for repeating myself from last edit summary, the band is discussed in multiple WP:RSes -- including two books and a documentary, cited in the article -- and hence seems to pass criterion #1 of WP:BAND. Given this, the information is noteworthy; and it furthermore does not belong in the SNFU article, since this would bloat that article; hence, I submit that it needs its own article. Relatedly, I'm not convinced that the term "MySpace band" means very much or is as damning as I take the usage to imply, since numerous bands great and small from the aughts had MySpace accounts. But I understand the editor's concerns and maybe we can see what others think. In any case, I vote keep. CCS81 (talk) 19:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Two books by the same author and a documentary that all mention it briefly as one of Ken Chinn's small projects (along with The Wongs and Little Joe that also don't have articles). MySpace band refers to the fact that when I found the article, it still had a MySpace link (which relates to the essay WP:MYSPACEBAND). Why? I Ask (talk) 20:26, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- I think I understand, but the "WP:MYSPACEBAND" joke article seems to imply that this term refers primarily to self-generated content, e.g., about one's own non-noteworthy garage band, as evidenced by the proliferation of the term "your" throughout the joke article. There is no such content in the Slaveco. article. Hence, I don't see the relevance of WP:MYSPACEBAND to the Slaveco. article, deleted dead MySpace link not withstanding. Better would be to defer to WP:BAND and the criteria for notability described there. CCS81 (talk) 20:53, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

- Let me lay this out for all our sakes. Here are the statements in favor of deletion, as far as I can tell, and my responses:
- Slaveco. is a WP:MYSPACEBAND. This, I think, is false, since the article seems to imply that this term is for band articles with self-generated content, which is not the case for Slaveco.
- Slaveco. never released a record. This is true but insufficient for deletion, because WP:BAND specifies criteria for inclusion other than releasing albums.
- Slaveco. is only minimally treated in the WP:RSes. This seems to be what is worth discussing. Slaveco. is the subject of one ten-page chapter (Chapter 12, pages 196-206) of Walter 2020, which is a 17-chapter book. There is further discussion in Walter 2024, but it only spans about five pages. The editor in favor of deletion seems to suggest that this is insufficient for C1 of WP:BAND, whereas my argument is that it is significant coverage that is independently noteworthy and would be too bulky to fold into the SNFU article or articles about any of the individual members. On this, I think, the discussion should be focused. I hope this is helpful. CCS81 (talk) 21:13, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: Can this not just be redirected/merged to a section under SNFU or Ken Chinn? I doubt anyone is going to care about a band that simply toured for a year outside of its relationship to those two. Why? I Ask (talk) 02:41, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- There are two other notable members with their own articles, so I don't think it's right to imply that no one else is going to care other than those reading about Chinn or SNFU. I'm also not sure what the rationale for deletion is given that it passes WP:GNG. I see lots of "subjective" language ("I doubt...", "don't do it for me",) but can't see the rationale from the perspective of guidelines for inclusion in Wikipedia. Maybe others have thoughts.

This article is supposedly about an industry association for English language schools in Australia, but contains almost no information about the actual association. Instead, almost the entire article reads as an unsourced advert/guide for how to apply to English language courses in Australia. I wasn't able to find anything to suggest that the organisation itself would meet WP:GNG - their media releases are sometimes quoted in specialist publications, but there doesn't seem to be any secondary SIGCOV.

Of the new sources, the only secondary sources that go beyond very brief mentions of English Australia/the ELICOS Association are the articles in The Koala and The PIE News, both of which are pretty niche publications on international education. The PIE News one is solid, but The Koala essentially repeats the content of an appeal that English Australia sent to its members and ends with "The Koala wishes English Australia well in the running of its campaign", so I'm unsure of whether this really counts as significant coverage from an outlet independent of the subject, or to what extent The Koala is a reliable source.

Possibly it scrapes by on those two sources, but I'm not 100% convinced by the Canberra Times article - the article is mostly about the policy issue and all it really says about the ELICOS Association is that it isn't happy about it, so I'm not really sure it qualifies as SIGCOV of the ELICOS Association.

Previously nominated for proposed deletion by a different editor, but was contested on Talk:Maya Kornberg. The article generally lacks verifiable third-party sources and relies heavily on professional pages as well subject's own personal page. Per WP:Notability, candidates for political office are not inherently notable. Nearly all the sources I could find on Kornberg which may be used to improve the page exclusively focus on her council candidacy and the page was only created following her announcement. Her professional career working in NGOs does not appear notable enough for an article.

- Comment. I don't normally weigh-in on YouTuber AfD discussions (as they often seem to rely on relative perceptions of "fame"). However, the sources in this article are woeful. Effectively all are primary sources. Where the subject(s) own YouTube statements are relied upon as fact. While this might just about be "OK" in the context of WP:ABOUTSELF, it is not "OK" (certainly not in establishing notability) that effectively all of the sources are self-published/self-statements. The handful of secondary sources in the article are barely brief passing mentions. And are placed alongside text that they unequivocally do not support. Like those screenrant.com and thegamer.com webpages - which do not support the text of the "collaborations" section they are placed within. At all. Not even close. It's hard to offer an objective AfD recommendation in the face of this type of WP:REFBOMBing. Guliolopez (talk) 20:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Non-notable book by a non-notable author whose name is a redlink in the article. Its entry at goodreads.com contains no review and just a single reader's two-star rating (out of five). In the only slightly significant review I found at The Irish Times where it was briefly sketched among other books, the reviewer described it as "a highly opinionated work, laced with discursive and distracting digressions" which demand "forbearance" from the reader. Otherwise seems to have sunk without trace. Judging by study of the article creator's brief edit history, there are hints that the article may have been created by the book's author.

Effectively just this article, its mirrors, a (sparse) "goodreads" entry and Amazon listings. The only "news" coverage found is this local piece in the local Longford Leader. Which is about as far from significant coverage as it is possible to get. It does not help (as noted by the nominator) that this article was almost certainly created as a part of a series of COI/NOTPROMO edits by a contributor who had a connection to this book or its author.

Delete Unlike natural lakes, reservoirs are not usually notable. To the extent that this one may attract passing attention, it is not the reservoir that is notable but a shortage of water to cope with a major conflagration, an urban administration story and a story about the enormity of the fire, rather than one about the water-filled hole. To the extent that it may count, it can be mentioned in the fire article. The shortage of fire engines and firefighters, and the fact that aircraft could not fight the fire during excessive wind speeds do not require separate articles either. Spideog (talk) 13:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: There's a bunch of news coverage of the reservoir pre-dating the fire that is available on Newspapers.com.

- Keep There's dozens more articles available on Newspapers.com going back decades covering the history of the reservoir.

- Delete per Wikipedia:Notability (numbers). None of the properties of this number listed here are interesting. Even the one that is plausibly a notable property, being a Harshad number, is not interesting: there are infinitely many Harshad numbers and this one is far far down in the sequence, so far that it is neither listed in the initial part of the sequence given by our article nor OEIS. And the Star Trek trivia isn't even about this number; it is just about a digit sequence that happens to be part of an alphanumeric designation of a fictional spaceship, not about the number that the same digit sequence represents. At best it would belong on a disambiguation page for 1701, not on the article about the number. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Weak keep Using the "nice" keyword on OEIS as a reasonable proxy for when a property might be deemed "interesting", I was able to scare up three examples, but one is equivocal, since 1701 appears way down the list; another strikes me as rather arcane and base-specific. The third is the best I could find. (Just being somewhere among the Stirling numbers of the second kind isn't remarkable, but being the largest for some is a little more noteworthy.) If I followed my own tastes, I'd have two "interesting" properties and would recommend a weak delete; sticking with how these discussions have interpreted OEIS tags for consistency, I'd end up at a weak keep.

List has been unsourced since 2011 (the two sources say nothing about a set of economics films) and I am unable to find real-world lists of such films.

- I agree that economics in film could exist. The current prose article likely needs a complete overhaul since it was primarily a POV essay. As for listing, you're advocating that we should have a list of films about economics based on a corporation's list of "films that economists love" and on a list of "greatest films for teaching economics". Neither list are actually directly "about" economics, as most films can be read economically (or to go higher-level, philosophically) and should not be shoehorned in. The concept of economics is too broad, where we could more readily have a list of stock market (or Wall Street) films (I've seen WP:NLIST-satisfying sources for these) or films related to the 2007-2008 financial crisis (likewise). There is no clearly-defined list scope here for economics films or films about economics, though. We shouldn't try to make fit what was masquerading to fit in the first place. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 14:48, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. I see you cut the other article quite massively. Feel free to rename the said article Economics in film or whatever you find appropriate. Or to merge the other article into this one and rename it List of films about economics, as it is less a "genre" than a topic.

- Keep. We have this lists of films of a genre all the time, because oftentimes the amount of notable films (and I am SPECIFICALLY referring to those) is so high that WP:SPLITING is a good option. The existence of categories means about as much as $100,000 to a billionaire, and discographies of artists should be deleted by this logic, since each artist has category pages for their songs and albums. User:HumanxAnthro (BanjoxKazooie) 17:24, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete as original research — as the nominator says, it's
a hodge-podge list of POV additions of what "feels" right
, and doing it right (or doing correctly anything similar to this) would basically involve blowing it up and starting from scratch. The source on JSTOR provided above actually illustrates the problem rather well. Their "top 10" list is based on a survey of "economics educators" about "films that they found most useful in teaching economics". At number 2 is A Beautiful Mind; at number 9 is Cast Away. Is it actually meaningful to put these on a list of "economics films"? No. No it is not. In their honorable mentions, at number 13 we find Office Space, and at 15, Pretty Woman. In short, the mere fact that a teacher has used a movie to illustrate some economic concept does not mean that the movie is part of an "economics films" genre. The topic of economics in film could be addressed in an encyclopedic way, but this isn't even the start of doing that. XOR'easter (talk) 19:15, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep I would repeat my frequent request that nominators of Japanese-language articles show evidence of a WP:BEFORE search that includes sources in Japanese and competence to evaluate them, but in this case, it seems no WP:BEFORE or review of the Japanese Wikipedia article was done at all? In addition to the blurb in Nikkei Asia provided by User:IgelRM above, there is an article in CNBC, one about issuing Japan's first crypto credit card, coverage from The Nikkei [11] [12] [13], and lots of coverage in tech and crypto media. All of this is linked from the Japanese Wikipedia article and show clear evidence that BitFlyer is notable. DCsansei (talk) 15:09, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep Again concur with @DCsansei that there are plenty of Japanese sources, and that it would be great if nominations of Japanese articles showed evidence of WP:BEFORE using a simple Japanese google search. Even then though, I’m confused how the sources already given in this article by the WSJ etc could be considered passing mentions when they directly refer to the company and its activities. I find this nomination unusually confusing.

The subject does not meet WP:GNG. The article fails to demonstrate any proof of notability and relies heavily on sources from social media platforms such as X, Instagram, and LinkedIn, which are generally not considered reliable. The few non-social media sources included are either trivial mentions or lack the depth and significance required to establish notability.
Based on my research, and after conducting a WP:BEFORE, I could not find independent, reliable sources that provide in-depth coverage of the subject.

- I'd like to point out that, per WP:INVALIDBIO, notability is not inherited. A subject's relationship with notable individuals or entities doesn't automatically make them notable. According to the notability guideline, notability is determined by significant, independent, and reliable coverage of the subject, not follower counts.

Mamani1990 (talk) 23:47, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hello @Ibjaja055,
- I would like to kindly request that we reconsider the potential deletion of the Tobi Asehinde article, as I believe it now better aligns with Wikipedia's notability and content guidelines. Recent improvements have been made to strengthen the article with additional independent, verifiable sources and detailed context on his professional achievements, philanthropy, and impact in the digital marketing industry.
- Key Improvements
- Enhanced References: The article now includes third-party sources such as BusinessDay NG, Vanguard, and TechCity, which highlight Asehinde’s contributions to the global digital skills market and the creation of job-matching platforms for African talent.
- Increased Context on Leadership Roles: Detailed information on his leadership within the Nigeria-Britain Association and other organizations has been added to show his broader influence beyond his business ventures.
- Relevant Links to Related Topics: The updated article connects Asehinde’s work to the ecosystem of African digital entrepreneurs, linking it to figures like Sim Shagaya and Abasi Ene-Obong, improving its integration with related Wikipedia content.
- Notability Criteria
- Asehinde’s significant contributions to education technology, job creation, and youth empowerment align with Wikipedia's guidelines for notable entrepreneurs and business leaders. His work addresses key global challenges in employment and digital skills development, and he has received recognition in reputable publications.
- I believe these improvements make the article more balanced, verifiable, and informative. I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this discussion and respect the consensus-driven process. Thank you for your time and consideration. MercifulEmma (talk) 22:11, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

- Spideog How is racism a significant motive under WP:EVENTCRIT? The hate crimes statistics at the United States Department of Justice and the Southern Poverty Law Center indicate shockingly large numbers of racist motivated attacks. This is not an unusual motivation, sadly, for murder. Further brief protests without WP:SUSTAINED or wide coverage are not unusual.

- Keep SIGCOV in several academic works, re-analyzing the events even past the initial breaking news period, passing at least #1 and #2 of EVENTCRIT (very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards). See [21] [22] [23], probably more. There was also a full article in Esquire magazine a year after the murder about it, which I think is pretty solid [24] and a retrospective magazine article [25] from 5280. The coverage at the time was also pretty extensive. While the motive itself does not make it notable, the motive tends to lead to more in depth coverage. There was also a bunch of other coverage in 2010s, this altogether demonstrating WP:SUSTAINED and WP:INDEPTH coverage. PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:36, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Wow, I've never AfD'd an FA before. Anyways, this tornado is not notable as there was no coverage past a few days after the event, with one mention three months after the event, too low for a tornado in my opinion. Fails my criteria as well. If this article were to be made today, I'm 100% sure it would no longer exist. Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:NEVENT and there is no WP:LASTING coverage. It's rarity, much like its rating, means absolutely nothing if no sources consistently talk about. Notability concerns were also brought up during the FAC, so I'm not sure how it passed.

- Keep. It got a lot of coverage at the time of the event and still gets mentioned as a notable NY State/Northeast tornado after many years (for example, here, here, here, here, and here). Plus, this isn't a crappily written stub, it's an FA, so there's some readable text there (though it looks like it needs some updatilng), and if it's even a close call, I'd rather preserve the content. Plus, all the reviewers at FAC (and GA and any peer review) must have thought that it was notable. -- Ssilvers (talk) 08:53, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- I wouldn't consider any of those sources WP:INDEPTH. An article's class has little to do with it's notability in this case; the article was FACed in 2008 and standards... weren't as high back then. Was going to take it to FAR but realized it likely isn't even notable. This isn't the first time a tornado GA/FA has been at a delete/merge venue, see this discussion which almost ended with a GA being merged. EF5 13:44, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Even the 2021 Naperville-Woodridge tornado article which I got into GA-class was right on the edge of notability and that had 5 more injuries, a higher EF rating, and deeper coverage. I'll also note that by deleting this, there will be no more individual tornado articles of FA class, so if you're interested, I have an FA pending for Belvidere Apollo Theatre collapse - while not quite a tornado article, I'd appreciate what help I can get with it before the FAC gets archived with no consensus.

I've been PRODding my most recent batch of Virginia ones, but taking this one to AFD as I'm less confident here. Whitelaw's county history has references to the index to "Shield's P.O." and "Shield's Wharf", but unfortunately the volume those are in is not on Internet Archive. Those items are mentioned only on one page. Nothing in the Arcadia history of the county. Searching on newspapers.com is very difficult due to search engine noise, but I'm just getting passing references to surnames, the wharf, and a steamship landing that is probably the wharf.

- "the self-imposed criteria of not contain[ing] strictly idol anime, OVAs and ONAs but may contain...", the autor of the article here, is because there already is a list of idol anime and manga so there is no need to duplicate things. Also majority of people are not into both, they are either into idol things or are not. You could divide music anime/manga genres into two broad subgenres: idol subgenre and non-idol subgenre. There are examples for "not strictly idol, but uses idol setting as part of a bigger plot": Heroines Run the Show: The Unpopular Girl and the Secret Task. A girl works for an idol and in idol setting but the story is not about being an idol or becoming an idol. The other is Key the Metal Idol. Also in idol setting but there is a conspiracy behind the curtain and existential crisis of a robot - now compare it to run of the mill idol stories like Pretty Rhythm or D4DJ. There is also anime like Samurai Jam -Bakumatsu Rock-, Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle Rhyme Anima and Paradox Live the Animation for which you could say are idol stories because of the characters but the story is not about being an idol. I don't think it's vague. It's just a question of is there a story about sth other than being (becoming) an idol in the story.
You stated "Inexplicably it also looks like the list contains manga as well." It does NOT. You should't misguide people and not provide examples. Everything on the list is/has an anime/OVA/ONA, but the "problem" is that not many anime have their own articles or (anime-)links redirect to a manga page. It would be ridiculous to expect than a 1 ep OVA has an article. I tried to have as many blue links as posssible so it's possible there are links to a manga but it DOES have anime/OVA/ONA.
There is "dance" in the name of the article because there are anime that revolve around dance, rather than just singing and playing instruments, namely Hula Fulla Dance, Brave Beats and Tribe Cool Crew.
"no sourcing" - not sth that cannot be done after the fact and there is a reason for that. not justification, but for majority of entries there is a blue link to the main article that has all the sourcing you can get so it's not sth I pulled out of my ass. I choose not to source, primarily, because I knew there were bound to be dense people, I was right, and there is likelihood for the article to be deleted, so potentially not to lose extra time I made that decision. A list like this, and this is quite a comprehensive list, takes quite a bit of time to make, more than you could guess. Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 23:45, 28 December 2024 (UTC)- Thanks, I have omitted the misleading statement in the nomination. I appreciate the time it's taken to create this. WP:NLIST and WP:SALAT is a concern because the list is manually assembled and has an unclear scope. When looking at pages like List of idol anime and manga you can see there's a sourced background and exploration of its scope. Without that here, it's hard to reliably figure out what qualifies an entry for the list other than loosely having a music and/or dance focus. The idol point is a concern because it would be quite WP:ARBITRARY to consider what goes in and out of this article based on an editor's subjective assessment of how much the anime involves an idol plot. That's why external sourcing about this as a clear genre or category is important. Others may consider that this is a very clear and established genre category and if so that's ok and all that needs to be done is better support this in the article.

- Keep. Addendum to my comment/argument presented above: "the self-imposed criteria of not contain[ing] strictly idol anime, OVAs and ONAs but may contain..." was already addressed in my first comment, but to expand upon it (and address VRXCES's answer to my comment: "The idol point is a concern because it would be quite WP:ARBITRARY to consider what goes in and out of this article based..." ), EVEN IF that is a problematic point of the list it only really concerns 2 to 5 anime out of close to 100 on the list. So it's not an argument for deletion of the entire list. Those entries could just be removed or a discussion could be held if those entries should be kept.
Now addressing "the list is manually assembled and has an unclear scope....hard to reliably figure out what qualifies an entry for the list other than loosely having a music and/or dance focus" I would argue that the scope is not unclear, and that it's not "loosely" focused on music. With two or three exceptions where the story is told with music (no dialog and the story is performed against a background of songs, like in A-Girl or My Oldies Are All Color) every other entry has an individual or a group (band, orchestra...) that PERFORMS music pieces. That is the scope - CHARACTERS PERFORM and are in-world artists in most cases (the same is for the two dance entries), except those few (I believe 2 or 3 at most) works where dialog is replaced with music, but for those music is essential to tell the story. That's the reason, I choose for it to be only an anime list - you can see and hear characters perform music/dance which in manga you cannot, but also while reading manga you cannot even imagine it because you don't know what the songs are, which is a bit different from other types of manga where you can imagine things based on description.
edit: I realised that on the surface "characters perform" excludes anime music videos (that are longer than 15 minutes if we stick to the requirement given for the list) but the same argument could be made for anime music videos as the argument given for titles like A-Girl or My Oldies Are All Color.

Per Talk:Raegan Revord#Requested move 19 December 2024, this title was previously salted and the subject's notability is doubful. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:44, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, but... there is a pending AfC submission at Draft:Raegan Revord. Ultimately, the two versions should be merged; the draft has a lot sourcing given the repeated questions about passing WP:NACTOR. It's a borderline case at the moment, but a bit WP:IAR in this case, as thousands of people a day are looking for an article on this actress who starred in a successful popular mainstream sitcom, and the only star from that show for whom we don't have an article due to it being caught up in WP bureaucracy. The multiple AfC rejections caused the page to be salted, which caused someone to create it at a disambiguated title, and here we are, when we shouldn't be; the procedures have failed us in this case. So, merge the two versions and let's stop failing our users, topic easily passes WP:GNG. 03:32, 26 December 2024 (UTC) Mdewman6 (talk) 06:15, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Per the sources in this article, I don't see it easily passing GNG. People is mostly quotes from her, so is EW. Doesn't make them useless as sources, but not good from the WP:N perspective. WP:BLP-goodness of looper/thetab etc not obvious. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:00, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- keep Apart from qualifying for WP:GNG, she seems to have won an award at Family Film Award[35] and a nomination at Young Artist Award[36] thus may pass WP:ANYBIO, merging with Draft:Raegan Revord will be appreciated because the draft is with much information also if this article is deleted per WP:TOOSOON, draft has no reason to still stand ANUwrites 06:05, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

- Weak delete -- fails WP:NACTOR due to not yet having that second significant role, so best covered in the Young Sheldon article. The claim of meeting WP:ANYBIO rests on the Family Film Award, which does not seem to meet the "a well-known and significant award or honor" requirement by at least this basic sniff test: there's no article on it. Argument that other people in the show have articles and thus she should have one is basically a WP:INHERITED one. However, Draft status is a reasonable place for someone on the edge of but not meeting WP:NACTOR -- one significant role puts her halfway there. It allows us to maintain it while waiting for that second role. A draft does not cost us much, and it would be silly to delete all the work that has been done on it. If for some reasons this is kept, it would be better to merge with... or really, largely replace it with... the draft version. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 07:59, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep but it's tangled. First off, this is the perfect case why we should not religiously apply the rules. Revord is easily too well-known not to have a Wikipedia article, and deleting articles on actors that our readers see on their TVs for years in massively successful shows for the technical reason "that is their only notable credit" is a complete failure to be with the times. It also means popular actors below 18 are arbitrarily barred from having Wikipedia entries, simply because it is much less likely to achieve our threshold before you have worked in the industry for some time. Any rule that prevents editors from adding articles on main cast members of top 10 TV shows needs to go away. Second, this article must have become a personal quest for some Wikipedians to stop at all costs. It should have been accepted long ago, and far too many editing hours has already been wasted by me and others on the futile hope these editors would understand that there can be exceptions to the current NACTOR rule and that Revord easily qualifies as such. Sometimes child actors decide to leave the spotlight, and if that happens with Revord, we should first have the article, and then we can remove it, if it becomes clear that Young Sheldon will be her only significant credit for the forseeable future. That other articles with a similar level of notability (take Aubrey Anderson-Emmons for instance) remain unchallenged is likely only because of the arbitrary capricious nature of a process where a few or even a single editor can make it their personal goal to come up with whatever procedural objection that's needed to stop an article, zero common sense required, while not spending any energy on stopping other articles with more or less claim to fame. That this article weren't accepted years ago remains a clear example of Wikipedia failure, full stop, and this is our chance to rectify a long-standing mistake. CapnZapp (talk) 12:18, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Also, any argument for/against deletion needs to include everything added to Draft:Raegan Revord, which this article creator seems to have ignored/bypassed entirely. While that's not ideal, if we decide to delete this article, that will set back the acceptance of the draft for even more years, and that is worse than accepting this article (and then merging in the draft). CapnZapp (talk) 12:18, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- "Any rule that prevents editors from adding articles on main cast members of top 10 TV shows needs to go away." Disagree, quite strongly. The internet is bigger than WP. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:08, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Strong Keep I agree with your arguments (and love your passion). I definitely think the draft should be merged because what's currently there is kind of weak, but a cursory look at the draft looks like it has more information and sources. So, I say keep the article and merge it with the draft. (I'm still semi-new to wikipedia (especially since I don't use it all that often), so I can't say I know all the rules (of which there seem to be many, but I can understand why), but is there something keeping people from just merging the draft right now? I thought that during deletion discussions people could work to improve the article? And incorporating info & sources from the draft would almost certainly improve the article? (I kind of wanted to do that, but I assume there's a reason I can't if no one else is?) [Funnily enough, I found this article because I was trying to learn more about the rules of wikipedia, and it's linked in one of the many articles explaining some of the rules, so I came to check it out] MoreWomenOnWiki (talk) 02:33, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Marging is work, and doing the merge now might be wasted effort -- if we choose "delete", it will just get deleted. It's not necessary for evaluating this, since this article is not being evaluated based on its content but on its subject. It seems likely that if the decision is "keep", we will simply delete the article and move the draft version into its place, which is simpler than merging. (Merging is useful when you have two versions that each have worthwhile material that isn't in the other, but last I checked, that was not the case here.) -- Nat Gertler (talk) 03:32, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment If this is kept, the draft should be back-filled into the history. As it stands, the accepted version in mainspace sounds nearly identical to the older rejected and multiply-declined draft. Therefore, the draft's history should remain to give original credit for those words. And this also casts doubt on the authenticity of the current article's editors' contributions as being truely their own, vs end-run around the non-acceptance of the older draft. DMacks (talk) 05:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. Consider this to be a more succinct statement than what I tried to say in my Keep but it's tangled comment above. CapnZapp (talk) 11:19, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Since there is a general acceptance in this discussion that the draft version is better (whether or not it's sufficient), might the simplest way to handle this if the decision is "keep" to simply delete the live version and move the draft into place? I don't quickly note anything from the live version that would need to be merged in. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 11:52, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per Mdewman6, ANUwrites and CapnZapp. Subject has been working as an actress for over ten years and has had about 150 credited TV appearances, with most of those in episodes of a top-rated TV series. More than sufficient to establish clear notability for the purpose of having a Wikipedia entry. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:16, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Just to clarify, since you included me in your "per": There's lots of people with 100+ television credits that Wikipedia rightly ignore, if those are all bit roles. I'm not (strongly) arguing she fulfills the current NACTOR criteria (though I wouldn't be surprised if she is), I'm arguing Wikipedia's criteria are wrong if we can't add articles on young actors simply because not only do they need one successful show, they need two. This heavily tilts Wikipedia's coverage toward adult actors and away from young superstars, sometimes with massive online presences, that people are interested in but our stodgy project choose to ignore. But child actors aren't simply children whose integrity we should protect above all - these individuals and their parental guardians CHOSE public life. They clearly appreciate publicity more than privacy. (No, you can't be part of Hollywood anonymously unless you're a baby) Also, in this case Young Sheldon was a major show where it just so happened that one of its main cast wasn't bluelinked in the main article... and that was (of course) a female. Gender equality is another heavy argument to maintain an article on Revord. All this to say that if you "per" me, you per "so what she hasn't had a second notable role, here we should clearly make an exception from NACTOR". CapnZapp (talk) 11:17, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- This seems to be arguing that we should have lower standards for child actors than for adult ones, which seems precisely backwards to me. To the degree that a child actor is making any decision, they are not informed maturely in making themselves so public. There are several ways in which Wikipedia considers minors worthy of additional protection, and Ms. Revord is still a minor at this point. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 12:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for reading but my argument "this rule hurts child actors more" does not mean I want to lower the standards for child actors. I don't have any general issue with the 2-roles criteria, iff we accept that thresholds and rules have justifiable exceptions. The current standards demonstrably result in articles on actors (especially young ones whose careers are just starting) remaining absent until well after they have completed a seven season run of a top 10 show, which is absurd.

- History merging would not be appropriate because it is strictly only for copy-and-paste moves. So, how should we resolve this, then? I see at least
threefour possibilities:- Round-robin swap Draft:Raegan Revord with Raegan Revord and then merge and redirect the former to the latter (if the draft version is better).
- Move Raegan Revord to Raegan Revord (actress) and then move Draft:Raegan Revord to Raegan Revord. After that, Raegan Revord (actress) could then be merged and redirected to Raegan Revord with the following three rcat templates: {{R from merge}}, {{R with history}}, and {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} (alternative to round-robin swapping if the draft version is better).
- Merge and redirect Draft:Raegan Revord to Raegan Revord (if the article version is better).
- Delete Raegan Revord and then move Draft:Raegan Revord to Raegan Revord (if there is nothing from the article that is worth merging into the draft). (Added 17:24, 28 December 2024 (UTC))

- looper.com [37], the best one per content, but IMO it fails per [38]. If video-game editors don't think it's good enough for video-games, it's not good enough for BLP.
- People:[39][40]. These 2 together may add up to a GNG-point, but there's a lot of "she says" in there.
- HuffPo/Usa Today on her accident [41][42]. Good sources, perhaps another partial GNG-point.

- I went through the refs, 21 at the time of writing. IMO, the ones that helps the case for GNG are:
- With respect to notability, this is borderline. There is only one credit that counts toward NACTOR, and there are 3-4 sources that almost-but-not-quite count toward GNG. That said, the history shows a number of readers expect to see this article and there is enough material to write a bio that is far from terrible. In these specific circumstances, I think we ought to IAR and recognize that the main actor in a very popular TV show is probably worth an article. As such I am a weak keep. Vanamonde93 (talk) 21:09, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- "The main actor"? I don't know if you've seen the show, but she is probably 6th in quantity of screen presence in most seasons (after the title character, his parents, his brother, his grandmother), likely sliding to seventh toward the end (as Mandy became part of the show.) She's a regular, yes, but she's supporting cast. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 21:31, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- I would assume more good faith here, Nat. Vanamonde is one of several editors arguing for an exception to the rules (I'm another), please don't obsess over his exact terminology, or worse, try to invalidate his argument over insignificant technicalities. Also, I would drop the implied argument that the subjective ordering of a main cast matters. CapnZapp (talk) 23:10, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- Who didn't "assume good faith"? The only thing I said about the poster is that I don't know if they've seen the show, which, unless they had specifically stated that they had seen the show, is not a question of faith.
- The idea that I should not address a basic factual error in their statement is strange. That that part of the statement is an "insignificant technicality" does not seem to be carried by the statement itself. I would not want folks who could become involved in this discussion but who did not follow the show to take that claim on face value.
- "Also, I would drop the implied argument that the subjective ordering of a main cast matters." You try to police me for an argument that you infer, rather than the editor who made it explicitly part of their argument? -- Nat Gertler (talk) 00:20, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Perhaps we can agree on "a main [cast] actor"? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:58, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- I think if Vanamonde93 wants to define an exception, it's up to them where the line is they are arguing for. If the line is "the main actor", then I would say that no, Revord doesn't qualify. If the line is a "regular" (an actor who by default appears in every episode, as contrast to a "recurring" where the same actor plays the same role on more than one episode but it not by default in each -- in Young Sheldon terms, folks like Wallace Shawn, Ed Begley Jr.) or supporting cast, then I don't have any quibbles that she crosses that line, but would question whether that's enough for an exception. There are shows where you can have six leads -- consider the titular friends of Friends -- but YS isn't it, it has a supporting cast. (This would come into play if we were discussing Montana Jordan, the YS regular whose page I believe I noted some years back as similarly questionable, but whose continuation of his Georgie roll as a titular lead in Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage would make at least a good argument for the page's existence now.) -- Nat Gertler (talk) 14:48, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: Refrained from participating in the first deletion discussion as I was waiting for input from at least one person other than myself or the nominator, which ultimately didn't happen. At the time, my belief was that Clerk met WP:VICTIM due to having "a large role" (potentially saving the lives of hundreds of Fiduciary Trust employees, as reported by both his wife and Fiduciary's senior vice president) "within a well-documented historic event" (9/11) with "persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources that devote significant attention to the individual's role" (both the CNN and The Daily Beast explicitly cover Clark and his role in the attacks without reading outright like obituaries, and he's mentioned alongside a few other 9/11 victims in the New York Times article). It may be worth noting that Clark was also profiled as a "9/11 Hero" by CNN on the first anniversary of the attacks [[43]]. In the event this article is deleted a second time, I have no intention of recreating it. ★ The Green Star Collector ★ (talk) 14:54, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Still nothing notable about the chef. Died in the attack. You could literally replace "chef" with any other job in the story, and you'd be in the same place. Guy in the towers, helped people out but passed away. Was a non-notable chef (he isn't Gordon Ramsay) and hundreds of people helped hundreds of others escape. This is a simple memorial page, perhaps better served at a 9/11 wiki somewhere... I've said before, we don't need a detailed life history of every single person that died on 9/11, unless they did something to stand out from the other people. Chef/janitor/office worker, they all passed away. Nothing lasting about this person's influence almost 25 years later at this point. Oaktree b (talk) 21:42, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

In looking at the independent book sources cited in the article in google books, all of these sources only mention the subject briefly and in passing (only covering his appointment in one or two sentences; that is all). The few that do have more detail are published by the organization the subject runs and lack independence. See source table below. A WP:BEFORE showed no independent coverage that was in-depth.

- Comment See, this is the problem with sourcing tables: they very neatly present one opinion. Since the subject leads a local constituency within the Watchtower society, he is not in a leadership or direct affiliation with the ownership of the magazine, and thus non-independence is not established. Having said that, we typically only let a source count once, even if there are multiple articles published in it, so I still don't think we're necessarily to multiple RS yet.

KeepComment. A search on Google news and Google scholar shows the standard is in use by multiple equipment and mining companies, and the website is live. It turns up in a mining glossary, and is mentioned in articles about mining robotics and smart mining. We have few articles about tools for data capture or analysis because it is hard to find independent in-depth information about them; even harder for a tool such as this used in industry rather than academics.

- From my understanding WP:SIGCOV just means "address[ing] the topic directly and in detail". If sections of a paper are about the topic, then it's more than just a trivial mention. Per the definition of WP:SIGCOV, the sources mentioned clearly pass by addressing the topic in significant detail. The only question is whether the sources should be considered as reliable. I do think it's fair to question the reliability of an academic conference and the proceedings published by it. However, if the academic conference is legitimate and peer-reviewed with acceptable academic standards, then these sources should be accepted as reliable sources verifying the notability of the article. For a niche subject matter like automation in the mining industry, one should not expect as much citations compared to a more prominent subject. ⁂CountHacker (talk) 03:55, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

The book notes on page 128: "Shaul Eisenberg’s extensive experience in China paved the way for other Israeli businesspeople, both directly and indirectly—but where Eisenberg met with enormous success, many others experienced only failure." The book notes on page 129: "Bruno Landesberg, controlling owner and former chairman of Sano-Bruno Enterprises Ltd., a major Israeli cleaning products company, was first drawn to the Chinese market after a Chinese delegation that visited Israel in the 1980s expressed interest in his products. Delegation members proposed that they establish a similar factory in China. Landesberg was excited by the idea and began to act. Along the way he was enchanted by the Chinese culture and people. He set himself the goal of putting down stakes in China. First he consulted with Shaul Eisenberg, and the two began to work together in the early 1990s."

"Based on data gathered by the consulate, it is hard to say just how many Israelis are here, because not all of them are registered. There is a small group of veterans that has been here for over a decade. At consulate events you see a lot of new faces," explains Arie Schreier, vice president of PTL Group, who has lived in China for the past six years. The population of Israelis in China's large cities is composed mainly of independent business owners, who have succeeded in establishing small- to medium-sized firms. These businesses deal in the export of Chinese goods, high-tech, Internet, security and food products, as well as real estate. ... An impressive number of Israelis arrive via employee relocation by large Israeli companies or multinationals operating in China. These include Nice, Israel Chemicals, ECI, Intel, John Bryce and HP."

The abstract notes: "This study investigates Israeli transnational entrepreneurs who provide B2B intermediation services in China. To understand the dynamic evolution of their profile and activity, we apply an interpretative framework that combines practice theory and boundary spanning models to analyze six case studies of Israeli transnational entrepreneurs in China. The findings indicate a gradual evolution of their personal and professional profile, determined by a dynamic interdependence between various forms of capital, entrepreneurial habitus, and circumstantial factors. They mobilize a combination of social, cultural, economic and symbolic capital to span organizational, country, cultural and stage boundaries between Israeli and Chinese individuals and organizations."

The article notes: "Israelis seeking to do business in China, however, face several hurdles, mostly due to significant cultural differences that make relating to the Chinese market a greater challenge than selling to Europeans or Americans. Organizations devoted to introducing China to Israelis have emerged in recent years to answer this need. ... Sitting in IsCham's offices in a high-rise office building overlooking a major motorway in eastern Beijing, Tzur looks completely comfortable working in China, effortlessly explaining to a Beijing taxi driver how to find the office tower over the phone in his native language. Tzur has been the executive director of IsCham's Beijing chapter for two years, since its inception, and was an obvious choice given her background. ... Tzur has led tours of Israelis in China and immersed herself in the study of the Chinese language at the university in Beijing.The work at IsCham might seem a detour in what could be a budding diplomatic career in China, but Tzur says she is very pleased with what she has accomplished there. "We have only had two years of existence," she points out, "and I have already seen how much we have managed to assist Israelis trying to get a start in business here. We have also signed cooperation agreements with 20 other national chambers of commerce operating in Beijing and Shanghai."

- The topic Israelis in China meets Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. I considered whether Israelis in China should be covered in a standalone article or in History of the Jews in China. I think many of the sources I listed here call the subjects Israelis (and many don't say whether the subjects are also Jews). So it would be original research and possibly inaccurate to assume all the Israelis discussed in those sources are Jews and to cover the topics in History of the Jews in China. I also considered whether to merge this article to China–Israel relations. The sources focus on the Israeli businesspeople who live in China and not as much on the relations between China and Israel, so the material from these sources probably doesn't all fit in the relations article. I concluded that it's probably best to have a standalone article for Israelis in China. Cunard (talk) 11:46, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Karnaval is not in and of itself more notable than any of the 29 other FiK 63 losers. Its article consists of: some basic information about the release, identical to that of other FiK entries that were commercially released; a short review section, using only one source that reviews many non-notable songs; information about Festivali i Këngës, which could equally apply to any other FiK entry; credits and personnel, track listing and release history, which are not independently notable. This *could* count as a reasonably detailed article but not more so than that of many other entries that are not given articles because it's understood that they are not notable. It hasn't been ranked on a chart, it hasn't won an award (second place is not an award, otherwise I'd like to see an article for Evita which actually won FiK), it hasn't been independently released by several notable artists, etc. Maybe deserving of an article had it won FiK and progressed to Eurovision, but it didn't.

- Hence why I said "could be". Three of the four sources on this article are websites that exclusively post church-related news, and the other is the churches website. Could it gain long-term notability? Possibly, but I doubt it.

- Comment: I don’t know why WP:VICTIM is being invoked here because that very clearly is not the claim to notability? While he is not notable as a murder victim and the murder itself is not notable, The claim to notability is of him as a Native American dancer. That he happened to be killed doesn’t seem to be the notability claim (not mentioned in the lead, little to none of the article is about it). We should be evaluating off NBASIC or GNG. The sources in the last AfD aren’t nothing, but eh. While being murdered doesn’t make a non notable person notable, just the same being murdered does not make a notable person NOT notable PARAKANYAA (talk) 17:58, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- @PARAKANYAA That's because the sources don't support notability in a different context. There aren't any sources with significant coverage about him as a dancer or educator. The one source pre-death used mentions the subject as participating at the Quinnehtukqut Rendezvous & Native American Festival and then gives a brief passing interview with the subject about the festival, but this is neither in-depth nor significant and arguably not independent as its an interview about a different topic. All of the sources where he is the primary subject involve him as a victim and occur after his death. The "Melvin Coombs is not forgotten" piece is primarily about a grand jury, and while it mentions what he did in other contexts, it is clearly a memorial piece about his killing. We would have to see coverage external to coverage of his death and the subsequent court cases to prove notability outside his death, and that just isn't the case. The sources don't exist. As such WP:VICTIM is the cogent policy which tells us he isn't notable because of this lack of sourcing external to his death. 4meter4 (talk) 18:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- @4meter4 I’m not saying the other sources are enough for notability in any context (I have not checked yet which is why I haven’t voted) but it’s strange to me to use the rationale when it’s not the claim to notability.

The book notes: "In addition, LDStorymakers sponsors and hosts the Whitney Awards Academy, founded in 2007 by author Robison Wells. Novels are nominated throughout the year by readers and then voted on by retailers, editors, authors, and other LDS publishing professionals. Awards are given in various genres and for Best Novel of the Year and Best Novel by a New Author. The Whitney award program is named after 19th-century Home Literature proponent Orson F. Whitney, and the organization uses a well-known Whitney quote as its motto: "We will yet have Miltons and Shakespeares of our own." The Whitney awards recognize novels by all kinds of Mormon authors, including those publishing in the national market. While the program arose from the LDS popular fiction side of the cultural divide, some Mormon literary works have been honored with top awards, including the novels Road to Heaven by Coke Newell (Zarahemla Books, 2007) and Bound on Earth by Angela Hallstrom (Parables Publishing, 2008); both of these titles also received the AML's top novel award in their respective years."

- Institutionalist political economy (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)
This page largely duplicates the content of the Institutional Economics (IE) page. It states that Institutionalist political economy (IPE) builds upon institutional economics, but does not make clear how it does so. The only writers mentioned by name in the article are key institutionalist economists who already appear in the IE page: Veblen, Commons, Mitchell, etc. Even more significantly, the article does not provide clear evidence that IPE is an accepted term with a meaning that is distinct from IE. Among the cited references, only Ha-Joon Chang's 2002 article uses the phrase "Institutionalist Political Economy." The other articles seem to apply institutionalism in various senses to political economy, but do not establish a school of thought called "Institutionalist Political Economy." Googling "Institutionalist Political Economy" strengthens the sense that this is not an established school of thought: the first page results show a handful of articles by writers (especially Chang and Streeck) trying to claim the term in recent years, but no encyclopedia entries or news articles suggesting that their efforts have succeeded. Nor is it clear that Chang and Streeck are engaged in the same project or members of the same school. (Streeck 2010 does not even cite Chang 2002, for example.) Finally, to the extent that consistency across Wikipedia is a relevant consideration, I would note that I attempted to create a "Legal institutionalism" page about a year ago -- because there are, in fact, a number of writers who refer to themselves as "legal institutionalists" and who belong to a relatively coherent school of thought (Hodgson, Deakin, Pistor, etc.). A reviewer rejected the attempt. The reviewer's reasons would seem to apply even more strongly (or at least equally well) to the existing "Institutionalist political economy" than they did to the proposed "Legal institutionalism": "It's not clear to me that this is a coherent concept that really differs from Institutionalist political economy and Institutional economics. I understand that source #1 is trying to make that argument, but do the other sources? Some of the sources, such as #6 and #10, do not even contain the term legal institutionalism. And there are other sources that seem to use the term in a different way, as part of legal theory rather than economics." If a "Legal institutionalism" page is inappropriate, then a fortiori it seems as though an "Institutionalist political economy" page is inappropriate. RLHale (talk) 18:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

- Hi! Do credible peer-reviewed sources (or those managed by editors) over a period of time (at least since 2017) like The Poetry Society (UK), The Bombay Literary Magazine, Poetry Magazine, etc. count? As it is, one of his poems has been handed out in schools in the UK as part of a UK Dept for Education project. The same poem was presented at COP26, the United Nations Climate Conference, in 2021. His work is also known in the UK, with his forthcoming pamphlet having created somewhat of a buzz. Through The Poetry Society's partnership with the University of Hertfordshire to support their MA Animation students in producing animated films, one of Kashyap's poems was made into a short film. Several other videos of his poetry readings have also appeared on YouTube through different organisations. I'm curious—would any of this not count?
- Jayant KA$HYAP (talk) 07:43, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi! To clarify, things like "created a buzz" can't really be measured objectively – while it is a bi counter-intuitive, what we call "notability" is closer to "whether there is enough independent material to write an article" than to "how famous the person is". However, peer-reviewed sources commenting on him or his body of work would definitely count for notability. I haven't looked at them individually, but that is indeed very promising. The poetry readings aren't necessarily useful, as they would still be primary sources and wouldn't give more information than "X read this person's poem", except if there is significant commentary/analysis on the poems.

- Oppose. WP:NARROW is about narrow intersections of two topics. I don't see how that happens here -- the single topic is a list of massacres. Is the claim that the time domain is the other axis for intersection? But that's not a separate category. Maybe this nomination needs to be refined. No evidence is offered for the claim that these are not useful for navigation. -- mikeblas (talk) 21:15, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Category:Moroccan Zionists contains two Jews and zero Arabs. Only include articles in the merge process if the article is clearly about someone of Arab ethnicity.

Category:Urban guerrilla warfare
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Also Category:Urban guerrilla warfare tactics, Category:Urban guerrilla warfare theorists. The Wiki article Urban guerrilla warfare was redirected to Guerrilla warfare in August 2024, which was probably a good call imo. (Ping User:czar who redirected it). However that leaves these orphaned categories without an article that Wikipedia needs to decide what to do with. Deletion seems like the course of action to me, but I don't know that much about categories. Prezbo (talk) 13:10, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. The categories exist independent of the articles. Whether we have enough material for a dedicated article on guerilla warfare in urban context is separate from whether other articles can be categorized that way. These categories seem fine based on their members. Perhaps they can be merged upwards but I see no reason for outright deletion. czar 14:07, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Urban warfare. The content doesn't seem to be about guerrilla per se. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:11, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

(The exception is Lok Ningthou.) It was noted by Zeynel (talk · contribs) in the previous CfD that many Meitei deities have broad and overlapping domains, so I am listing only the merge back into Category:Meitei gods. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:43, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Government in South Africa (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Government of South Africa
- Nominator's rationale: Redundant categories; in particular, this creates a category loop for Nigeria and between Category:Government in Quebec and Category:Politics of Quebec. For Canada, Nigeria, and South Africa, it is also possible to segregate the federal and state/provincial governments, like we do in the United States. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:00, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Presumably the current Category:Government of Canada is meant to be the federal government.

Category:Sadistic horror films

- Keep, a common topic in art and art history. This artwork and visual arts page has had and has ongoing encyclopedic value. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:37, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. The category is for articles relating to Persephone's rape as a subject in Western art; ie., the category is not for articles about the myth itself. Articles in the current category for which it is defining include Rape of Persephone, The Rape of Proserpina, and Proserpine (Lully), as well as Proserpina sarcophagus (don't see any reason to exclude ancient depictions). – Michael Aurel (talk) 11:13, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- In that case rename to Category:Cultural depictions of the rape of Persephone, re-parent, and purge what does not belong. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:24, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes to
purge what does not belong
. We could rename it, though the article is at Rape of Persephone, and the category isn't necessarily for any and all cultural depictions – the category (at least as it's currently defined) would not house, for instance, video games or TV shows, which would fall under the scope of a "cultural depictions" category, and I also don't think ancient art is really included in "cultural depictions". – Michael Aurel (talk) 14:40, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes to
- In that case rename to Category:Cultural depictions of the rape of Persephone, re-parent, and purge what does not belong. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:24, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep Very common topic in adaptations og Greek mythology, with film adaptations dating at least to the 1930s. Dimadick (talk) 18:00, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Category:City
[edit]- Propose merging Category:City to Category:Cities
- Nominator's rationale: Yet another questionable topic/set split. Part of the category loop Category:City → Category:Cities → Category:Metropolitan areas → Category:Urban areas, which will need to be broken — possibly by breaking the kink between "Metropolitan areas" and "Urban areas". –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:31, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- If kept, I'd rather break the link between Cities and Metropolitan areas, the latter are usually multiple cities. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:49, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Merge/delete per nom, with one exception: the first category should also be merged to Category:1994 crimes in Iran and don't delete the latter until the whole crimes per year tree is nominated. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:59, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Birds in religion (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Birds in mythology
- Propose merging Category:Horses in religion (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Horses in mythology
- Nominator's rationale: Categories are too similar, especially given the actual contents, and this is reflected by the presence of a category loop between the first pair. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:13, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- If not kept, please keep a redirect at least for the first category. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:13, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- I am actually leaning to keep, also per Randy Kryn below. Mythology and religion categories shouldn't be subcategories or parent categories of each other. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:43, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Both categories seem fine and cover two different things (religion and mythology are not overlapping viewpoints or mutually inclusive), but if they have to be merged by force of numbers please do so in total and change their names to, for example, "Category:Birds in religion and mythology". Randy Kryn (talk) 10:34, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think that numbers is an issue here. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:40, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Agree with Randy Kryn. Best to keep as they are, but, if they must be merged, rename them to "in religion and mythology". Religion and mythology are not the same thing. – Michael Aurel (talk) 14:53, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- keep as they are Distinct topics. Dimadick (talk) 18:02, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Category:Votia
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Votia to Category:Votians
- Nominator's rationale: Votia redirects to Votians, and their overlap is replected by the presence of a category loop. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:00, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Category:Human-Environment interaction
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Human-Environment interaction to Category:Environmental sociology
- Nominator's rationale: Overlap with Category:Environmental sociology (reflecting the target of Human-Environment interaction) and Category:Human impact on the environment. The ostensible main article is Integrated geography. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose- Human-Environment interaction is one of the Four traditions of geography, originally refered to as the "Man-Land tradition." It is also one of the Five themes of geography. It is a geography topic and is distinct from sociology. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 02:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Rename to Integrated geography per WP:C2D. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:48, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose Rename, Integrated Geography is the closest page we have to the topic, but the literature distinctly uses Human-Environment interaction. I'd support renaming hte integrated geography page before the category. If you look at Google Trends comparing "Integrated geography," "human-environment interaction," and for fun "human environment interaction" without the hyphen you can see it isn't even close. Integrated geography is the page name we have, and I didn't think it was necessary to change it, but it is not the more common term. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 19:45, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Category:Modernity
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Modernity to Category:Modern history
- Nominator's rationale: Categories are too similar, and this is reflected by the fact that they form a category loop. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:45, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:50, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Category:Ethnographic museums in Israel
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Ethnographic museums in Israel to Category:Ethnic museums in Israel

- merge per nominator Andre🚐 02:06, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Category:Church buildings in fiction
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Church buildings in fiction to Category:Church buildings
- Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:30, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to all parents: This also includes Category:Fiction about Christianity and Category:Buildings and structures in fiction. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:32, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- I am not sure if e.g. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame belongs in the two latter trees. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:49, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Category:Baseball players from Edwards County, Texas

- Propose merging Category:Baseball players from Cooke County, Texas to Category:Sportspeople from Cooke County, Texas
- Propose deleting Category:Baseball players from Comanche County, Texas (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Category with just two entries. Lost in Quebec (talk) 13:48, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge, also to Category:Baseball players from Texas. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:56, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep these were made as part of a larger effort to diffuse Category:Baseball players from Texas. I don't think sending them back to that category helps navigation. NOTE I took the liberty of combining the three separate nominations into one subheading. I hope no one minds.--User:Namiba 16:24, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Thoughts on Namiba's comment? And, if merged, also dual merge?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:07, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- The larger effort to diffuse Category:Baseball players from Texas goes against WP:OCLOCATION. Large categories are not a problem per se. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:11, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but there are hundreds, if not thousands, of similar categories. WP:DIFFUSE states "Although there is no limit on the size of categories, a large category will often be broken down ("diffused") into smaller, more specific subcategories." Regardless, there seems to be an informal community consensus that breaking down large categories into smaller categories by location is encouraged.--User:Namiba 19:34, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Thoughts on Namiba's latest comment?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:04, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Dual merge per Marcocapelle. I agree with Namiba's point, but I differ in that my take is that we don't need to diffuse Category:Baseball players from Texas by every county. Diffusing the more populated counties is useful but diffusing counties like these with very few articles is not useful in my opinion. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:37, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
