I don't believe she meets WP:NARTIST. I didn't find anything significant about her on a search, and the cz.wiki has worse sourcing than ours does, so all we have to evaluate is what's in the article, and it's not sufficient for a GNG/NARTIST pass:

  1. ND Magazine profiles are submitted by the artists (see [3], top left, "Sign up to be included on this list"), so are not independent
  2. A listing for the Swan Lake performance on the theater's website, not independent coverage of her
  3. Bare-bones bio of her from a workplace, not independent
  4. Bio from her workplace, reliable for facts but not independent so can't support a claim of notability
  5. Even the archived non-paywalled version ([4]) shows that this article is just a large quote from her
  6. I'm not able to access this almanac, but even if it is significant coverage of her, it's only one source and we can't maintain an article on that basis. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:25, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Red Paintings

[edit]
AfDs for this article:
The Red Paintings (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)

Dear Wikipedia administrator,

I, Alan Butler, representing the band The Red Paintings, would like to request the deletion of the Wikipedia article about my client for reasons explained in detail below.
I’m acting on behalf of data subject, Trash McSweeney, prominently mentioned in the said article, and can provide proof of the data subject’s identity and address on request.
Reasons for erasure request
I hereby nominate the Wikipedia entry about The Red Paintings for special proposed deletion (PROD), more specifically under the subcategory of unsourced biographies of living people (BLPPROD), for three Wikipedia policy compliant reasons:
1.      Thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify certain claims in the article have failed (please reference point 7 of Wikipedia’s official ‘Reasons for deletion of articles’).
Ø  The vast majority of the 20 provided references are broken or deleted, specifically those referenced under numbers 2-4, 6-8, 11-13, 15, 18-20.
Ø  The verifiability of most claims within this article, such as the lead singer’s legal name or the band’s incorrectly stated active years, is questionable at best and relies heavily on original research, which goes directly against ‘No original research’ (NOR), one of the Wikipedia’s three core content policies.
Ø  Some of the landing pages in the reference list are completely irrelevant or unrelated to the work of my client, such as number 20 & 2.
2.      The article cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources and includes neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and hoaxes (please reference point 6 of Wikipedia’s official ‘Reasons for deletion of articles’).
Ø  An example of the several false claims in the article is the following statement, “Clashes with their Modern Music label/Sony BMG  label at the time over creative direction saw the band ending its relationship…”, “shows with Alien Ant Farm, Chad Smith (RHCP)…”, “supporting The Posies for their Los Angeles show in July, as well as support for German industrial act Atari Teenage Riot...“ that is referenced by a broken link and cannot be verified by any other reliable source on the internet.
Ø  Such groundless claims go against neutrality, one of Wikipedia’s five pillars, hurt the band’s good name and public image and can be considered slander and/or hoaxes.
3.      The subjects of the article fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (please reference point 8 of Wikipedia’s official ‘Reasons for deletion of articles’).
Ø  My client hasn’t been active in the public eye or publicly covered since 2013. Their official website as well as all their social media accounts are offline, their music cannot be found on any of the major streaming platforms, and no future events are planned. As of 2022, the band doesn’t exist or generate any new online entries or conversations. I’d therefore like to propose that my client doesn’t warrant their own article.
Ø  Even though Wikipedia’s policies don’t regard notability as temporary, my client wasn’t subject to significant media coverage and was merely of short-term interest even while active. I’m therefore requesting a reassessment of the suitability of the existing article on the basis of ‘General notability guide’ (GNG) and invoking the BLP1E principle.
Ø  Given the reasons stated above, Trash McSweeney is no longer officially associated with the subject of the article and doesn’t consider himself a notable person. Coming up in Google search interferes with his private life, and as an unnoteworthy person, he’d like to request that his personal privacy be respected.
I’m happy to provide any further information necessary for the approval of deletion of the said article, such a thorough analysis of all the false claims and word-of-mouth information.
Kind regards,

    Quick Delete - An "encyclopedia" is of valid information which this is clearly not. As pointed out due to the fact there are 80% broken or misinformed links that can not be used as factual source, that there has been excessive amounts of edits on this page due to people not knowing what is factual or hearsay The article cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources and includes neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and hoaxes (please reference point 6 of Wikipedia’s official ‘Reasons for deletion of articles’). Thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify certain claims in the article have failed (please reference point 7 of Wikipedia’s official ‘Reasons for deletion of articles’). The subjects of the article fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (please reference point 8 of Wikipedia’s official ‘Reasons for deletion of articles’). No findings of any social media accounts to back any of these Wikipedia edits, as it is clear the band doesn’t exist or generate any new online entries or conversations. The act doesn’t warrant their own article. Alan191919 (talk) 23:42, 12 March 2022 (UTC) — Duplicate vote: Alan191919 (talk • contribs) has already cast a vote above.[reply]

    Delete. There are to many broken source links to warrant the page fit for Public reliable information. Much of the information is hearsay. There are no links on the internet to back any of the information directly with the act who has no social media, Spotify or YouTube pages. The band is non existent.

    • Comment This is the nominator's 3rd vote, here. Furthermore, while the process is being debated this user has deleted whole sections of the article making it appear weaker than it was. Remember this user has a close connection to the subject of the article.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:01, 13 March 2022 (UTC)01:11, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      :Strong Delete - That is because the sections being deleted have broken sources or sources do not relate to the information within. Please note my edits and check the sources I am referring too. Again please refer to my original points as to why this page should be deleted. Alan191919 (talk) 02:00, 13 March 2022 (UTC) — Duplicate vote: Alan191919 (talk • contribs) has already cast a vote above.[reply]
  • Strong Keep The nominator falsely claims that the article has no reliable sources. Remember this article was at AfD, less than a week ago and was Kept. It was resolved that it needed a clean-up but not deletion. As for the related albums/EP articles, most should become redirects to this article in preference to deletion. Some do have (or had) reliable sources for their existence and may require further investigation by unbiased editors. The nominator should stop editing the main article or its related ones.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:11, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Strong Delete Well if that is the case why did no one clean it up? There are 15 either broken or misleading sources that accumulate this article and much of it misleading information. Alan191919 (talk) 02:03, 13 March 2022 (UTC)— Duplicate vote: Alan191919 (talk • contribs) has already cast a vote above.[reply]
      • Comment Another delete vote by the nominator. As for the clean-up process, it only began three days ago, after the previous AfD was closed as Keep. An unidentified user disrupted the process and attempts to clean-up. Then you proposed the article for a second AfD, which further hindered this process. Your deletion of content at the article has caused disruptions. Now you complain that the article has not been cleaned up? Please do not edit at the article or associated pages.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 02:46, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • :Strong Delete - The page has had multiple misleading (un)sourced edits for many years. As with the current information on the page, 15 of the 20 attached outsourced links are either broken or misleading information warranting a page deletion. REF to my original statement.

  • Keep - meets WP:GNG. Deus et lex (talk) 09:40, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I voted in the first AfD just three days ago, and volunteered to clean up the article myself. The first AfD was apparently initiated by band leader McSweeney, and I recommended WP:BIOSELF and WP:AUTOPROB for correct procedures on how to handle articles about yourself. This time the apparent manager is repeating the same process, but with no lessons learned from the first go-round. Every unsupported statement mentioned by the manager above can be removed easily, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what in the article actually damages McSweeney's personal life. Perhaps McSweeney is trying to erase bad memories from a previous career, but there are better ways to do it than this. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:58, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note - The additional AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Red Paintings albums was created incorrectly and is merely a repeat of the manager's text in this one. I have requested speedy deletion for housekeeping purposes over there. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:15, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Someone really wants this band's articles to be deleted, and probably not for honest reasons. The first AfD was from someone claiming to be the band leader, this second AfD is from someone claiming to be the manager, and now we have this anonymous person who is hacking away at the articles and leaving insulting comments here and on various talk pages. Subject this saga to the duck test and see what hatches. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:18, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article is not suitable for an Encyclopaedia. Significant coverage cannot be found. Delete because Wikipedia is not a dictionary GoldenHayato (talk) 13:59, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete from what I can tell the references in the article are either dead links, trivial, not even remotely about this like the links to Cheg.com and techwalla.com, or otherwise not usable for notability. So the arguments that there's adequate sourcing or that it's notability is beyond established are just laughable. In the meantime, I couldn't find anything that would establish the subjects notability and Wikipedia isn't a dictionary. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:52, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, passes WP:GNG, due to having significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources.[1][2][3][4]

  • Comment I was looking over the references in the article a minute ago. From the looks of things there are 5 references that don't even use the word "timetable" and have nothing to do with them, 5 dead links, and only one reference might be even slightly related to the subject of the article. Which is no better then how the article was when it was nominated for deletion. So I'd really like the people who voted because of HEY or whatever to say how exactly that's the case. I'd also like to know how there is significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources about this when the sources that aren't dead links don't even have anything to do with school timetables. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:15, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Adamant1 is correct in the count and evaluation of the sources in the current state of the article, but according to WP:ARTN: ...if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability. No one is making the case that this article is well-written or sourced in its current state, but sources do exist and the subject meets GNG— even though someone needs to take a hatchet to most of the unsourced material in this piece and replace with content from the four sources provided above by SailingInABathTub, WP:HEY. Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 09:37, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Grand'mere Eugene: perhaps you missed it but Bearian voted keep based on HEY which 100% is related to the current state of the article and if it's been "improved" since the nomination. So your comment that no one is saying the article is well-written or well-sourced in its current state is simply wrong. That's literally what HEY is about "to point out that an article has been significantly improved since it was nominated for deletion." Other then that, I can't comment on the references Qwaiiplayer provided to the books since I can't access them, but I will say the PDF is a research paper by a couple of university students that ultimately has nothing to do with the subject of the article. Unless you think the article is specifically about how to create timetables, but as far as I'm aware that's not the purpose of the article or Wikipedia. To quote the PDF "First, we present a complete algorithm that guarantees fast optimal PECTP solutions for small educational institutions. Secondly, we provide a graph-theoretic framework to demonstrate how courses can be “bundled” together and treated as a single super-course." Both of those things are way out of scope of Wikipedia, let alone this article. Not to mention university essays aren't usually considered reliable sources anyway, at least not for the sake of notability. Since they aren't published. Ultimately I could really give a crap if the other references Qwaiiplayer provided are being used in the article or not, but I'd like to see some evidence that they are in-depth, direct coverage. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:43, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Although the article currently needs major improvements, the topic can generate quite a bit of useful encyclopedic information: What are the different ways of creating a timetable for a school, what does research show are the best ways to organize a school week, its part of enterprise resource planning issues, national timetable policies in certain countries, etc. Sda030 (talk) 17:04, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment –– Adamant1, I also initially was not able to check the 3 Google book sources provided by SailingInABathTub, but I had better luck searching on the term "timetable" for each source. Try these links instead, and maybe assume good faith?
1. How to run your school successfully
2. Teaching practice
3. School Administration and Management
4. The pdf file is not a school essay by a couple of students, but rather from the proceedings of a 2021 conference, an invited talk, and the presenters are computer science Prof. Richard Hoshino and graduate student Irene Fabris. They have used applied math (data analytics and optimization patterns) to identify the patterns and constraints that need to be considered by school admins who construct timetables. Having worked in school and university systems where scheduling was left to sometimes incompetent or clueless administrators, I found this source interesting and relevant to the subject of this WP article. Take another look. –– Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 05:08, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I'll look over them. In the meantime how is a graduate student not a student? Anyway, I'm not saying the article isn't interesting. I just don't know what can be in the article from it to give an overview of the topic since it's extremely detailed and doesn't contain any general information. I guess it would work if the article was for teacher's who deal with scheduling to read, but that's really Wikipedia's audience. The purpose of articles aren't to be manuals of niche subjects. Maybe someone besides me can summarize all the obtuse nonsense from the essay in a meaningful way that a general audience will understand though. I'm not saying it isn't possible, just not likely and still out of scope. It shouldn't really matter though if the other sources are usable. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:14, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"How is a grad student not a student?" Well, when they publish, especially in collaboration with a professor, they are researchers. According to WP:SOURCETYPES, Many Wikipedia articles rely on scholarly material. When available, academic and peer-reviewed publications, scholarly monographs, and textbooks are usually the most reliable sources. Conference proceedings are a notch below academic and peer-reviewed publications, but in this instance, the conference paper is being published by Springer as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series. Virtually all secondary schools, colleges, and universities have scheduling protocols, some less successful than others. It's not a niche subject, although you may find it tediously detailed or boring. Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 05:57, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really feel like getting into a protracted discussion about this, but I think your doing some extremely heavy lifting with the word "published" in this case. Conference proceedings aren't really "published" in the way the notability guideline is using the term because often times there is no peer review process involved in presenting a research paper at a conference. I actually asked about conference papers on the reliable sources noticeboard once. If I'm remembering correctly that also seemed to be the general consensus there, that they have questionable reliability. The fact that it might be included in a book at some point is really immaterial. If anything it just shows that the paper is still a draft that hasn't been fully reviewed and vetted yet. Otherwise we could use authors signing a book deals or getting an advances for their manuscripts as reasons why un-published manuscripts are reliable sources. I'm sure you'd agree that would be a ridiculous way to do things. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:30, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not all published conference papers have the benefit of editorial review, but this one does. I've removed quite a bit of unsourced content, and added more sources as I found them.
On a personal note, I learned at age 12 about badly constructed school timetables when I was unable to schedule 2nd year Spanish and Orchestra. The school resolved my schedule, registering me in Band, rather than orchestra, but since my instrument is the cello, I had to read the tuba music, which was in the key of C, unlike other brass instruments, and sit with tuba players, who I learned quickly had to drain spit a lot. Not saying I was permanently scarred, but my repertoire on the cello is pretty heavy with marches, and in spite of the spitting thing, I have an odd fondness for tuba music. Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 22:14, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I'm sorry you had to go through that :( If only your school's administrators had access to Wikipedia and this article. "Shakes fist at sky." --Adamant1 (talk) 05:04, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no evidence that Kinnoull Terrace is in any way notable, and certainly not in a fashion which meets WP:N. This article is some sort of WP:SYNTH based on the happenstance that the few properties on the road are amongst the many listed properties of Perth.

Referring to the references:

  • 1 - Perth and Kinross, John Gifford (2007) p.655 - has nothing much to say about the subject beyond confirming that it has a number of houses on it.
  • 2 - Kinnoull Conservation Area Appraisal - mentions the terrace once, to state there is a Tree Preservation Order on it.
  • None of the Historic Environment Scotland refs, nor the architect refs, have anything to say about the terrace.

  • Keep and expand. Satisfies GNG. This nomination is based, and all the arguments for deletion are based, entirely on the assertion that the buildings on either side of a street are not part of the street. That assertion is contradicted by certain reliable sources (eg [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]). James500 (talk) 10:42, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Uhhhhh none of these sources have anything to do with this subject. None of this arguments say the buildings are not part of the street, they say that these buildings should be described a whole and the street boradly, not synthetically because they happen to be located on it.

There has apparently been zero improvement on this article despite several efforts to clarify its scope and purpose in two AfDs (2011, 2013) and a series of discussions on the article talk page in 2015.

We tried the approach of grouping by "former Yugoslavia" and by "Balkans", and neither really worked, because we don't have encyclopedic content here.

  • Delete Just to clarify, I think a list of how airports are doing in the former Yugoslavia would be useful, as nearly all the airline infrastructure in the region was built in the Yugoslav era, and there are indeed somewhat thriving specialized websites which deal with aviation in the former Yugoslavia, i.e. they treat it as a single region (which is not that surprising considering that virtually all aviation experts used to work at the same company, Jat Airways. Airlines and airports operating in this region compete with each other, and it would be inetresting to see the development of coastal airports over the past 15-20 years - as places like Tivat, Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik, all compete with each other to attract western holidaymakers. I assume the "Balkan" moniker (and the corresponding wider scope, entailing Greece, Bulgaria, etc) probably came in order to avoid grouping ex-Yugoslav countries together, because somebody somewhere decided this isn't "encyclopedic." Well, "the Balkans" doesn't really make much sense, it is difficult to define where that is geographically and as far as I know there is nobody treating the Balkans as a single aviation market.

This page has been unsourced since its creation in 2006. Each of the brothers has his own stand-alone page, but there's nothing intrinsically notable about this short-lived collaboration from early on in their careers. There isn't an obvious target page for a redirect, as each of the brothers is individually notable.

  • Delete - This one's tough because all three brothers have their own music careers and have performed together in various permutations and collaborations. Regardless, they only worked as a trio very briefly, and their one album in that configuration is already described at each of the brothers' articles. The trio did not achieve notability as an entity in its own right.

  • Keep This is the second time I've recently heard a !vote for deletion claiming that it is better to turn a bluelink red when there is more than one possible redirect target. WP:MUSIC recommends precisely the opposite, as does a simple commonsense assessment of user-friendliness. The Lakeman Brothers could be turned into basically a disambig location (which, more or less, it already is), or it could be redirected to an album article (sensible, though online coverage of that album is scant - probably would take some work plumbing UK music archives to find suitable sources), or we could use existing sources for the band, which include not one but two Allmusic biographies. Chubbles (talk) 01:14, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While an African-American first, Libertyville has a population of ~20,205 which is less than the 100,000 generally used for Mayors. She is not the first black woman to be a mayor in Illinois.

  • Delete Libertyville is a village that is part of the sprawling northern suburbs of Chicago. I spent some time in Lake County, Illinois last year and could not have even named Libertyville as being in that county. This is a county with a population of 714,000 . Waukegan, the county seat, has some name recognition, but is still only at 89,000. There are at least 5 other communities in the county with more people than Libertyville. These numbers pale in comparison to the population and significance of Cook county to the south.

Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. 2) The Chicago Tribune and CBS news are reliable and Johnson is the subject of the article; 3) the sources are "Independent of the subject"; and 4) as the first elected Black mayor of a city that is 86% White and only 1% Black makes her notable especially in these times where there is much talk about race, representation, and equity. There are only two current Black mayors in Lake County, a county of over 700,000 people and the state's third largest, and just a handful of Black female mayors in a state with over 1,100 cities.Patapsco913 (talk) 15:02, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • If she were the first Black mayor or first Black woman to be a mayor in Illinois, I'd be fully in support of keeping this article. However, she's not. I don't even think she is the first Black woman to be the mayor of a majority-white municipality. Lake County currently has at least three Black mayors (Leon Rockingham in North Chicago, Donna Johnson in Libertyville, and Billy McKinney in Zion). Being more accomplished than I could ever hope to be does not mean one is notable for WIKIPEDIA. Also, again "an article about someone you like isn't necessarily a good thing for that person."--Mpen320 (talk) 20:16, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - An objective assessment of multiple independent and reliable sources, including Pioneer Press/Chicago Tribune 2018, Pioneer Press/Chicago Tribune 2019, Pioneer Press/Chicago Tribune 2020, Libertyville Elects First Black Woman As Mayor In Village History (CBS2, 2021), An Interview With Donna Johnson, Libertyville’s First Black Woman Mayor (CBS2, 2021), Johnson takes the helm in a year of change on the Libertyville village board (Daily Herald, 2021), as well as reporting about her actions while mayor, (e.g. Pioneer Press/Chicago Tribune, 2022, Pioneer Press/Chicago Tribune, 2021) supports WP:BASIC/WP:GNG notability. Beccaynr (talk) 17:59, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • The problem here is that all of those sources are very local and not outside the scope of usual local politics. Wikipedia:Subjective importance also states that prestigious position (local officeholder) and fame (local coverage) are not automatic indicators of notability.--Mpen320 (talk) 20:16, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • I included the link to that essay in my comment above because it emphasizes the need for sources to objectively support notability, i.e. A common misconception about notability is that importance or uniqueness equals notability. Beccaynr (talk) 20:59, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • The article about her taking the helm as the election changes things in the city is the type of article you will see one way or another every time there is an election in the city. What we need to see is coverage that is very far afield from her. I created the our article on the first African-American female to be mayor in another state, it was in a city with about 7,000 more people than Libertyville, but it was not a case where the person was one of three African-American mayors in the county. I actually did not create it until she announced her candidacy for US house. Looking back, I think even that article was premature, although there was coverage from much further away than we have in this case. I think we really should not have had an article on that person until she became a member of the US house, as she did in 2014. That despite the fact that I was able to locate an indepth article on her from when she was not an active candidate in a newspaper outside her county from about 6 years before she was elected as mayor. The level of coverage we have on her here is esentially the level of coverage we could find on every single mayor of every singles place in the US that has over 15,000 people. At least if you look beyond what the headlines say and pay attention to how much is actually said in the articles. If we look at the extra county stuff we have 1-an article about a grand program that name drops here, 2-an article about a local tax proposal that name drops her, 3-inclusion of her among bios of everyone running for office in Libertyville. If this sort of stuff is held to lead to showing notability, than we would double the size of Wikipedia, end complaints about sports people being over covered, make Wikipedia a more prose intensive alternative to some voter information websites and a the prefered platform for cnadidates to put up their campaign literature, and have 37% of articles on Wikipedia on elected public officals, and 42% of articles on Wikipedia on people who ran for office and got a short bio write up in a newspaper, but were never elected. Sportspeople bios will be reduced to 13% of bios, and the remaining 8% of bios will cover everything else.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:31, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • My concern is with whether the WP:BASIC/WP:GNG guidelines can objectively be met, and based on what I was able to find, there is in-depth biographical and career information available that can allow the article to be further developed. Even if the Chicago Tribune and CBS Chicago could be considered local coverage, the WP:BIO guideline does not exclude local coverage from consideration. There is WP:SECONDARY coverage of her becoming the first Black woman mayor of this municipality, as well as previous and ongoing coverage of her and her career, and the coverage does not appear to be trivial per the objective WP:GNG and WP:BASIC standards.

  • Comment Lake County is 6.5% African-American, but over 22% Hispanic. Are there any Hispanic mayors in Lake County? Has there ever been a female Latina mayor in Lake County? Can we even agree on who is and who is not the first Hispanic to hold an office? For example, who was the first Hispanic member of the Supreme Court. For the record there is no simple answer to that last question. Of, and Lake County is 8.25% Asian? Are there any Asian mayors in Lake County? Has there been an Asian female mayor? Were the Asian mayors Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Camboaian, Laotian, Filipino, Indian, Bangaldeshi, Pakitani or something else. For that matter maybe we need to cover the first Puerto Rican, first Mexican, first Guatemalan, first Salvadoranian, first Cuban, first Peruvian and so on mayor. Some might say I am being silly, however I showed that there are almost 3 times as many Hispanics as African-Americans in this county, and Asians outnumber African-Americans, so these are not odd speculations on what might be, they are quite obvious points of what is.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:40, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Libertyville, Illinois with a very short mention of her being the first female African-American mayor in that city, and maybe in the county, there.

  • Merge/Redirect to Libertyville article, she could be a subsection in an article about the town, not every mayor needs their own article.Oaktree b (talk) 03:54, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • The following is the whole government section at the Libertyville article: Donna Johnson was elected mayor of Libertyville in April of 2021. She is the first African-American, and the second woman, to hold the position.[1][2]
    • Libertyville is represented by Jennifer Clark on the Lake County Board.[3]
      • I would say in general our government sections are extremely weak. We too rarely tell if the place has a mayor-council/city manager-council, or comission style of government. Probably we should either in the government or history section trace the change of such a matter over time. Also we should at least tell how large the governing council is. The Libertyville article is far better than many of our place articles, but it still is not good. It also does not seem to adequately incorporate the 2020 census results.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:31, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Verify about population rules for mayor. Knight Skywalker (talk) 13:30, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. There is no "100K" rule for mayors — the notability of a mayor does not hinge on the population of the city, it hinges on the ability to write and source a substantive article about the mayor's political impact. If that can be done, then a mayor can keep an article even if the place they were mayor of was a no-horse village with a population of five, and if it can't be done then a mayor gets deleted even if the place they were mayor of had a population well into the hundreds of thousands. I offer no opinion on whether Donna Johnson actually clears the bar or not — I'd certainly prefer to see more content and coverage about things she's accomplished in the mayor's chair, where this is still far too focused on premayoral background information that's irrelevant to establishing mayoral notability — but just wanted to point out that the nominator's claim that there's a "100K" cutoff for mayors simply isn't how this works, at all: it hinges on depth and quality of sourcing, not on how many people do or don't live in the municipality the person was mayor of. It is true that big city mayors are more likely to be able to clear the bar than smalltown mayors are, but it is still entirely possible for a smalltown mayor to clear the bar and entirely possible for a big city mayor to miss it.

Lengthy quotation
Alright, I'm going to publish this into mainspace in a short while, and I can already feel the amount of rage from serious business activists and other WikiSnobs calling for deletion. So let me state my case for keep right away:
  • It is notable:
  • 'Famous last words' googles to 30 000 000
  • '"Famous last words"' googles to 430 000
  • '"last words of"' googles to 500 000
  • Loads and loads of books have been dedicated to the subject of last words of famous people
  • It is already on Wikipedia:
  • '"last words"' gets 3500+ hits
  • Many, many biographies contains the person's last words, especially if doubted or frequently misattributed
  • Final statement#Examples is a list big enough to almost warrant its own article.
So please think twice before shouting at me to get back(?) onto WikiQuote. Thank you.

I think this is a mistake and the page has to be published again. Vashanth has featured as the lead in two movies. One Ilampuyal 2009 also listed on released movies in 2009 in India List of Tamil films of 2009. The second movie is Uyirvarai Iniththaai 2014 which is listed on movies released in 2015 List of Tamil films of 2015 and List of Danish films of 2014. Vashanth is furthermore, mentioned in this article being a Sri Lankan Actor in India Sri Lankan Tamils in Indian cinema. He has composed the original score for both movies as well. And this article is about him and the film Ilampuyal, and his journey to Kollywood. If you need more reference and proof of he has done more than just one low key movie, please let me know. Rishanth (talk) 07:49, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they all fail to establish notability (K. S. Thurai is Vasanth's father and director of Ilampuyal) and "Jeevanea" is Vasanth's song:

K. S. Thurai (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Jeevanea (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The page Ilampuyal was a stub and now it is expanded with the Danish sources. The Denmark aspect of the Tamil film provides unique notability. Proposing to redirect Vashanth Sellathurai and K. S. Thurai to Ilampuyal.

A wye junction eventually more or less overrun by mining operations. No evidence that there was a "community" here. Mangoe (talk) 02:22, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just as Aragonite, Utah was not a "community" as Wikipedia falsely has it but an aragonite mill and mine run by the Utah Calcium Products Company, Flux, Utah and neighbouring Dolomite were not "communities" or "town"s but quarries (dolomite is used to make flux) run by the Utah Lime and Stone Company (Morris 1964, p. 192). And they visibly still are.

    Just east of Timpie Canyon is the Utah Lime and Stone Company of Dolomite and Flux. Dolomite is a lime kiln and for approximately forty years has been making lime. Flux ships limestone to Dolomite for lime and also ships flux rock to International Smelting and Refining Company at Tooele, Utah and the Kennecott mills at Magna and Garfield. Also, the flux rock is ground into fine powder and sent to Moab, Utah for use in the uranium mills. Many companies have found use for this flux rock, such as coal mines, sugar factories, construction companies and it is also used in making shingles and cement.

    • Carter, Kate B., ed. (1957). Treasures of Pioneer History. Vol. 6. Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
  • (Author) Keep The nomination here (and in other recent Utah place AfDs) seems to operate under the assumption that Flux must be a village/townsite to be notable. Flux is a place where significant mining and industry activity has occurred (and we have sources to demonstrate that), and significant human use of a place gives it a history, which makes it a subject of encyclopedic interest, even if no one lived there (and it's not clear that there was never a "company town" at this site). Chubbles (talk) 01:05, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • So why did you write "Flux is an unincorporated community"? When you write downright false information, it's easy to see it's not notable as what you call it! Maybe rewrite it to actually be accurate if you want it kept, but there are a lot of places with mining and industrial activity in the US, not a lot of which have articles. Reywas92Talk 16:13, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • I did not write anything knowingly false; part of the problem, I am seeing here, is a semantic discrepancy over what counts as an unincorporated community. I took this to be one; again, it's still not clear to me that it never was one, but I am happy to work with other editors on appropriate rewording as necessary. Chubbles (talk) 01:26, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This appears to be an industrial site. I found references to the quarry noted by Uncle G, and they put a salt plant in at Flux in the 1938 based on some newspaper results. About all else I could find were a couple references to a cafe being in the area in the 1960s. I'm not seeing any evidence that this was more than an industrial area, so WP:GNG is not met, and the coverage identified so far does not add up to WP:GNG. Hog Farm Talk 01:39, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alternative proposal: given that Tooele County, Utah is larger than the state of Connecticut, are there administrative subdivisions of the County for which articles can be made? If so, I would presume that "Flux" must be located in one, and can be merged into it if such articles are created. BD2412 T 01:37, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • His fascinating and consistently insightful posts have been discussed quite a lot in various books and by other writers, arguably enough for NAUTHOR #1 & #2, as these searches shows. But a couple of low-effort book reviews in some city color supplement of The Hindu or some WP:ADMASQ "articles" in Times of India on book launches would get a dull writer enough WP notability, while posts about vgr's writing like these - [13], [14] - would (correctly per WP:RS) be disputed as blog posts. And of course, he's already tweeted about this aspect of attention mechanics. Reminds me of two recent AfDs where obviously unencyclopedic entries weren't deleted due to the loopholes in Notability rules. This could be the other-side-of-that-coin case, where something that should be retained gets deleted. I'm not going to vote though, since he's said the page is "awful and should be deleted" and I don't know how to make it better. Hemantha (talk) 13:51, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Third AfD but only second actual since first was socked. No-consensus in 2009, but I do not see how this choir passes WP:ORG. I don't know how to make a fancy source table, but happy for someone to do so. This is an OK article, but it's really the best I can find and doesn't meet WP:ORG on its own. The rest are performance listings, calls for auditions and other non independent content. This is the best source new to the article, but the writer is a Choir volunteer, so not remotely independent.

  • According to the press release regurgitated by The Toronto Star ("are thrilled to announce"), the non-profit company was formed in September, and the garden has been around longer than that. Of the 6 sources cited in the article, two are press releases where people "announce" stuff, and three are autobiography, written in the first person. The remaining one is Hinks 2020 (theHumm) which is in depth, and apparently not a mere regurgitated press release or the people writing about themselves. The problem is that it appears to be the only such source in existence. I cannot find any others. One such source is insufficient; multiple sources are needed.
