- Delete - Article's subject fails WP:NCORP. Sources are all what NCORP explicitly calls trivial and nothing found online would support notability either. - Aoidh (talk) 08:46, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per above. There is a clear consensus that "trivial" corporate announcements covered, like "standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage, such as: of quarterly or annual financial results and earning forecasts, ... hiring, promotion, or departure of personnel, ... of a capital transaction, such as raised capital," etc. as exists currently in the article. Consensus can change, but ping me to convince me. Bearian (talk) 20:31, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Skiereiland Commando. The overwhelming consensus was to redirect this article. There were some darn good arguments for each direction of the redirect. I felt the decision edged in the direction of redirecting toward the Afrikaan title, but only just barely. Please consider this closing indicates the consensus for a redirect, but should not be considered binding as far as the direction. If more involved editors want to reverse the direction of the redirect, I have no problem with that. Please take that discussion to the talk page(s). Joyous! | Talk 23:22, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
There is already a page Skiereiland Commando. Peninsula is simply the English name for Skiereiland. A redirect replacing this page would probably be the best solution. BoonDock (talk) 18:34, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

- Comment Agree with the need for redirect, but since English and Afrikaans were both official languages, why not redirect from the Afrikaans to the English name? I found some references to "Cape Peninsula Commando" on Google Books (older) and "Peninsula Commando" (newer). The name Peninsula Commando matches WP:CRITERIA better, and it would be preferred, unless there's strong evidence that the WP:COMMONNAME was Skiereiland Commando. The term Peninsula would, to most English-speaking people familiar with South Africa clearly indicate the Cape Peninsula, while "Skiereiland" would leave most scratching their heads. Park3r (talk) 23:50, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- While there are de jure "official" languages in South Africa, the de facto languages vary by region. During most of the time that this unit was in existence, the only two languages were English and Afrikaans officially, but that region (Cape Province/Western Cape) is a primarily Afrikaans speaking area and the name was primarily the Afrikaans one. Cape Town itself is almost an English enclave in that region. I don't have a personal preference for either, but common usage was definitely for English and Afrikaans alike to refer to the unit by its Afrikaans name. BoonDock (talk) 00:44, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
- Difficult to establish a common name for this unit due to lack of authoritative sources. This 1977 book uses "Cape Peninsula Commando", this 1950 press digest uses "Peninsula Commando", and this 1990 miliaria book uses "Skiereiland Commando". In this situation, I consider WP:ENGLISH should be applied, and therefore the article should be at "Peninsula Commando", and "Skiereiland Commando" should be a redirect, so should "Cape Peninsula Commando" which is a feasible search term. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:41, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed. One request is that the current English page (Peninsula) get's blanked, and the current "Skiereiland" page becomes the new Peninsula page. BoonDock (talk) 16:16, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
- If the articles are about the same subject then one should obviously redirect to the other. I don't think that AfD is the best place to decide which should be the article. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:10, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect to Skiereiland Commando. That article is older so just to keep it simple, make the newer page a redirect to the older one and if the name is "wrong" then start an RM if necessary. - Aoidh (talk) 08:50, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

The result was delete. Participants agreed that that a topic along similar lines might be suitable for a stand-alone article, but there was a consensus that this topic in its current framing and with its current sources (or the lack thereof, leading inevitably to OR) should not be included in Wikipedia.

All or most of the article appears to be original research and it seems unlikely it could ever achieve a standard of verifiability.
The vague sources cited at the top of the list section do not provide this data. It looks like it might be based on the "Maddison Project", but even when looking at the full documents there the numbers can't be found (which means they were somehow decided by editors), and the project itself says that its own data cannot be taken at face value (see link). The "Methodology" section of the article, especially the last paragraph, clearly reads as an explanation of the article's own original research.
Even if a properly sourced list is possible, it would require a completely rewritten and re-sourced article, which seems unlikely. As there are no precise and reliable records of GDPs in the 19th century, any such list would be necessarily incomplete and the data itself subject to academic debate, so I would question whether it belongs on Wikipedia at all.

- Delete all kinds of wrong with this article. There are some sources, most I find are estimates, mostly for the big powers at the time. Most of what we have now is OR and we'd have to blank the article. Oaktree b (talk) 00:23, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment -- This is potentially a valid topic but the detailed data relates to 1879/80 so that it should be List of countries by GDP (PPP) in 1880. The situation of countries in 1880 may be quite different from that in 1800, particularly where considerable industrialisation took place in the period.

- Delete for now: Potentially helpful and suitable list for an encyclopedia, but the sources just aren't there for Wikipedia to provide a definitive, scholarly answer. Why? I Ask (talk) 19:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

I think we can explain in the text the problems of calculating such a figure, which would explain why the list is rather short. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:49, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - since this is an extension of List of songs recorded by K. S. Chithra, they should have been grouped into one single AfD. The rationale for keeping them though remains the same. WP:NOTDATABASE does not apply here, since this isn't "an indiscriminate collection of information". It is not a database, it is a list, a legitimate one, which needs sourcing, just like every list of recorded songs by other singers. I suggest that we start a project of sourcing them all instead of deleting a page which so much time and effort have been put into. Other than that, the notability of the songs isn't as notable - fact is the majority of films are notable. Shahid • Talk2me 11:06, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Essentially the same reason as before. This is a huge structured list which virtually no effective references. 9 references in the whole 80k article, all to the films. Completely unfiltered, no way to know what is notable and what is not. No historical value. Content has been copied unfiltered from Wikipedia and streaming sites and clickbait/discogs style sites.

Vanamonde (Talk) 16:49, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
This is one of several AfDs I have now read where virtually identical !votes have been posted by multiple parties that leave the discussion evenly divided. Those advocating deletion correctly argue that NLIST needs to be met; those arguing to keep correctly argue that discographies of notable artists have generally been treated as notable, and that individual items don't have to be notable for a list to have a Wikipedia article, so NMUSIC is generally not relevant. I don't see how repeating this discussion any number of times is a productive exercise; we clearly need to have a wider discussion about what criteria we use to evaluate the notability of such discographies, and probably use a few bundled nominations to make the discussion more efficient. As such I'm closing those nominations in today's log that are clearly divided on this basis with this identical statement, which seems fitting given the identical discussions.

- Keep - perfectly notable as a list, nowhere an "indiscriminate collection of information". Could only be relevant if WP decided that no list of recorded songs could have a place here. Otherwise it just needs expansion and proper sourcing, not deletion. Other than that, the notability of the songs as suggested by the nominator isn't as important (in lists of works, no requirement exists for all the works to be notable - the subject is more notable, as per WP:NLIST: "the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable") - fact is, by the way the majority of films are notable, so actually NFILM might be more suitable than NMUSIC. If by then no sources are found then I believe the right course of action would be redirecting it to the main list. Shahid • Talk2me 13:12, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - it so happens that the nominator has decided to carry out a massive deletion of most lists of songs recorded by Indian singers with the same message, but I do not understand why they were not at least grouped then into one AfD. I see that the following articles are nominated as well:

- Since I have been sucked into this mess, I decided to research one of the articles being discussed. Here, I am a keep and prune to sourceable entries. The singer is, by all accounts, a household name: he has received India's second highest civilian award. More importantly, his music as a body of work has received plenty of coverage, this
and a "History of Indian Cinema" by Renu Saran (I'm unable to link to it because the spam blacklist appears to be blocking a google-books result)being just the quickest examples I could find. LISTN is met. Furthermore, K. J. Yesudas discography is a large article, and merging this there isn't reasonable for length reasons; so keeping this is the only option. That said; there are probably 30-50,000 songs being discussed here, and I'm not sure that listing all of them is reasonable, per NOTDIR; so I would suggest restricting the scope to songs that can be sourced to non-database sources. Even with that restriction, individual entries should not be difficult to source; the music of major films typically gets substantive coverage in the news media. Finally, if the list is pruned and it turns out length is not a barrier, I don't object to a merger. Vanamonde (Talk) 17:20, 2 February 2023 (UTC) Striking source found to be unreliable. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:57, 2 February 2023 (UTC)- I think you are taking all this too seriously. These "discussions" have nothing whatever to do with whether the information (or part of it) can be included and so improve the encyclopedia. It is simply people taking pot shots at each other in a way that seems to me pretty harmless. Whether the articles get deleted or not will be mostly arbitrary but this will make little difference to anything overall. These discussions simply do not matter.

- I think you are taking all this too seriously. These "discussions" have nothing whatever to do with whether the information (or part of it) can be included and so improve the encyclopedia. It is simply people taking pot shots at each other in a way that seems to me pretty harmless. Whether the articles get deleted or not will be mostly arbitrary but this will make little difference to anything overall. These discussions simply do not matter.

- Delete - These "list of songs recorded by (artist)" articles are supposed to function similarly to WP:NAV templates, so when you've got a massive list of songs with no article of their own, and little context, it defeats the purpose. The article is 100% unlinked song titles and about 99% unsourced, so it lacks much of a function beyond name dropping a ton of songs titles without any real context. Not opposed to draftifying if someone plans on taking it on, but I don't particularly expect that to happen organically in the article space, considering how stagnant it was in its 6 months of existence, and now its primary contributor and creator is indeffed too. Sergecross73 msg me 17:56, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - largely as per Vanamonde. I wasn't going to !vote here but the above is so odd that I feel obliged to. Yesudas is an extremely notable singer; this does meet NLIST; NDATABASE doesn't apply; AfD is not cleanup. Ingratis (talk) 12:40, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- This is not a discussion on the notability of Yesudas though, it's a discussion on whether or not this unsourced, poorly conceived list article was necessary. Your stance as is veers into WP:NOTINHERITED territory. Sergecross73 msg me 13:08, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Sergecross73: It is definitely not inherited notability; we're not arguing for the notability of individual songs, but of his body of work, which isn't in question. I'm recommending pruning this list to entries for which context can be provided, but the list itself is quite appropriate. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:46, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

- Comment - as this looks like it'll be kept, it might be best to merge this article with List of Hindi songs recorded by K. J. Yesudas into a new article called List of songs recorded by K. J. Yesudas with all of the unverifiable stuff removed, which will be the majority of it. My concern is WP:V. Where did the people building this article actually get all of the content from and was the source reliable? We don't know. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:06, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- I would support such a merger. If we are pruning to songs with verifiable information from secondary sources, as we should, length should no longer be an issue. If it is, re-splitting shouldn't be difficult. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:16, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed. It'll be hard to justify conceptually keeping some of these lists and not others when they all seem to have the same arguments for and against them, and really only varies slightly in participants. Sergecross73 msg me 19:36, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - perfectly notable as a list, nowhere an "indiscriminate collection of information". Could only be relevant if WP decided that no list of recorded songs could have a place here. Otherwise it just needs expansion and proper sourcing, not deletion. Shahid • Talk2me 15:32, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

One of the 50 most prolific singers of all time and mamy of her songs are available and traceable in the internet, databases such as hindigeetmala.org or muvyz.com.

Vanamonde (Talk) 17:00, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
This is one of several AfDs I have now read where virtually identical !votes have been posted by multiple parties that leave the discussion evenly divided. Those advocating deletion correctly argue that NLIST needs to be met; those arguing to keep correctly argue that discographies of notable artists have generally been treated as notable, and that individual items don't have to be notable for a list to have a Wikipedia article, so NMUSIC is generally not relevant. I don't see how repeating this discussion any number of times is a productive exercise; we clearly need to have a wider discussion about what criteria we use to evaluate the notability of such discographies, and probably use a few bundled nominations to make the discussion more efficient. As such I'm closing those nominations in today's log that are clearly divided on this basis with this identical statement, which seems fitting given the identical discussions.

- Keep - since this is an extension of List of songs recorded by K. S. Chithra, they should have been grouped into one single AfD. The rationale for keeping them though remains the same. WP:NOTDATABASE does not apply here, since this isn't "an indiscriminate collection of information". It is not a database, it is a list, a legitimate one, which needs sourcing, just like every list of recorded songs by other singers. I suggest that we start a project of sourcing them all instead of deleting a page which so much time and effort have been put into. Other than that, the notability of the songs isn't as notable - fact is the majority of films are notable. Shahid • Talk2me 11:06, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

No proof that filming has occurred and if so, I do not feel it meets the notability criteria. It was once PROD back in August 2022 by an IP user, but did not fill in a reason for deletion. So it was removed and now only eligible for AfD. Mike Allen 18:56, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Non-notable company, article has been deleted twice (previous AFDs). Does not meet CSD criteria because the sources have changed since the last deletion. However, the new sources provide no support for WP:NORG or WP:GNG. Summary of the refs at the time of nomination:

No evidence of passing WP:SPORTBASIC has been presented and nothing found in searches in Greek. Google News has 2 hits, both of which are trivial mentions in lists of footballers in Kerkida. Please note that I am rejecting any coverage from Anorthosis24, or other Anorthosis fan sites, as SPORTBASIC says that [fan] sites and blogs are generally not regarded as reliable sources. With this in mind, the best sources that I can find are Sigma Live, which mentions him twice, and Kerkida, a basic contract announcement. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:16, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Proposing a merger between the Bryan Woods and Scott Beck articles. The two seem to work together exclusively save for Woods' first credits on Her Summer, and coverage in both articles reflects that exclusive relationship. Both articles are already mostly verbatim copies of each other anyway; it looks like the only big change would be the title (I'm thinking Scott Beck and Bryan Woods since sources consistently order their names that way), lead, and having multiple infoboxes or a combined one.

- Weak delete - While I love New York trivia, unfortunately this topic may not be encyclopedic per WP:CROSSCAT. The list is already pretty short, as there are only five cocktails named after New York City's boroughs, four of which already have their own articles. The fifth borough, Staten Island, is
without a cocktail that bears its name directly
, according to the article itself. I should note that, per WP:NOPAGE, I'd be inclined to keep this list if the cocktails didn't have their own articles, since at least two of the cocktails clearly pass GNG; this is why I'm only !voting "weak delete". The Staten Island Ferry cocktail isn't notable on its own, but I assume it's listed here because of WP:NOPAGE. – Epicgenius (talk) 16:40, 2 February 2023 (UTC) - Comment There are also apparently neighborhood-named drinks, see [2][3].

- Keep. Recipient of the CBE, so meets WP:ANYBIO #1. We have generally considered that anyone with a CBE or above meets that threshold. Honours at this level are not common (about 200 are awarded every year in a country of 66 million) and clearly indicate notability. Plus, as president of the Royal Society of Ulster Architects he is clearly a very notable architect. Also an honorary professor at Queen's University of Belfast, which adds to his notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:13, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

- Weak delete. Unless I'm overlooking something, I don't see how WP:BASIC is met. Perhaps because the subject's name isn't especially unique, but my own WP:BEFORE did not return significant reliable/independent biographical coverage of the subject (almost everything I can find is in press releases or CV-like summaries from organisations/sources with which the subject appears to have an association). In terms of WP:ANYBIO, while the subject was seemingly recognised with a CBE in the 2013 Birthday Honours list, so were dozens and dozens of other people (or hundreds and hundreds if we include the 2013 New Year Honours). These many hundreds of people (or many tens of thousands over the years) are not all automatically notable. Not absent the significant biographical coverage in independent/secondary sources. (Per ANYBIO, "meeting one or more [examples] does not guarantee that a subject should be included"). Guliolopez (talk) 16:29, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- To quote your edit summary:
Being a recipient of a CBE doesn't automatically confer notability. If it does, many tens of thousands of charity workers and soup kitchen coordinators and sports administrators and business people and civil servants are automatically notable. And I don't see how that follows...
No, about 200 CBEs are awarded every year. Many more OBEs and MBEs, which are lower honours, are awarded, but nobody is saying they're notable per WP:ANYBIO. The CBE, however, is much more unusual. As I have said many times before, it does help if you actually understand the honours system before commenting on it. These people are awarded the CBE because they are considered to be notable people who have done notable things. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:43, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- To quote your edit summary:
- Hi. Not sure why you're picking up my throw-away edit summary comment, rather than my actual !vote recommendation, but if 200 CBEs are awarded every year, and they've been awarded annually for (what?) 100 years(?), that's still 20,000 or so awards. In any event, regardless of whether I understood "the honours system before commenting on it", what is relevant here is Wikipedia policy. Rather than the UK honours system. And, per WP:ANYBIO, receiving a notable honour/award doesn't make for automatic notability. Per the policy, "
meeting one or more [of the 'additional criteria', like ANYBIO] does not guarantee that a subject should be included
". The 'additional criteria' (like ANYBIO) may contribute to notability, but do not establish it automatically. BASIC/SIGCOV still, surely, needs to be met. And I'm not seeing that it does. As all the coverage I can find is from sources with which the subject appears to have a connection. Otherwise, in all honesty, I really do not understand the apparent implication that, when a CBE is awarded, it automatically makes the recipient notable under this project's notability criteria. (John Keelty [of HMRC], for example, was named alongside Cole in the 2013 "Birthday" CBE list for "services to Improving Tax Systems". Is Keelty automatically notable? Because ANYBIO is met? Certainly not to my read of the entirety of WP:NBIO.) My recommendation remains unchanged. And won't be until additional independent sources (including those found by the WP:BEFORE efforts of those contributing here) are surfaced. And ideally added to the article. Or here perhaps.

Unreferenced WP:BLP of a person with no strong claim to passing a Wikipedia inclusion criterion. Having worked as a property master in film is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself without WP:GNG-worthy sourcing about his work in that role -- but the only notability claim attempted here is that he won a lifetime achievement award at a minor film festival whose awards still aren't "inherent" notability clinches without sourcing, and the article has been tagged for referencing problems for a full decade without ever having any references added.

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a filmmaker, not properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for filmmakers. The notability claim here is that his work exists, and the article claims absolutely nothing (e.g. major film awards) that would be "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG on his sourceability, but the article is completely unsourced and has been tagged for that problem for over a decade without improvement.
As I can't read German and don't have access to databases of archived German media coverage, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who does have access to such resources can find sufficient coverage to salvage the article -- but nothing here is "inherently" notable without GNG-worthy sourcing for it, and the lack of an article on the German Wikipedia (where a genuinely notable German filmmaker would clearly be expected to have an article) doesn't fill me with much hope.

- Delete Looks like glorified resume and the only semi-notable work is the documentary on the Swedish band Truckfighters, which is far from satisfying WP:BLP and with it being unsourced for a decade, I really don't understand how this can be salvaged. It looks like some more fancruft was added in January mentioning a documentary on Joe Scofield and two upcoming movies, though, again, without any sources. Assuming that sources in German are found, they still will need to verify WP:GNG due to lack of inherent notability as mentioned by the nominator. Strong delete.

WP:BLP1E of a young woman with no strong claim to enduring permanent notability. The notability claim here is that she won a spelling bee competition, which is not grounds for permanent inclusion in an encyclopedia as it fails the ten year test for enduring significance -- and while there are a couple of genuinely reliable sources here, the article is also heavily reference bombed to a lot of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all. And we also have an established rule that due to the potential for a Wikipedia article to cause harm to its subject (e.g. becoming a magnet for vandalism or attack editing), we have to be especially vigilant and strict about the notability of children.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when she has a stronger notability claim, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to warrant an encyclopedia article at all as of right now. It isn't our role to necessarily keep an article about every single person who gets their name into the current news cycle at all — we consider enduring and long-term notability, not just recent newsiness, and winning a student spelling bee is not of any enduring long-term significance in and of itself.

- I'm more inclined to go for a weak delete, especially when comparing this school against International School Manila, British School Manila or the Eurocampus Manila which are arguably the more established and more notable international schools in the Philippines. There are a handful of international schools in the Philippines, but are probably not as well known even in the country. I can also see a counterargument that this should be kept just because the president is the wife of a well-known celebrity, but I'm not convinced of the value of that argument in favor of a keep. I'm also not sure of the redirect, as it doesn't seem that this school is a full member of that group, it's only listed as a "partner school". --- Tito Pao (talk) 14:17, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - I found [19] and [20].

I've tried to improve this article as much as I can, but I haven't been able to find significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources. As far as I can tell, almost every reference to the book is a trivial mention (talking about the crossover element of the story). The only source that appears to have significant coverage is Doctor Who Magazine. Since there's only one source, it fails WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. OliveYouBean (talk) 07:59, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

- NFF goes onto to say
"Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines."
This has not been demostrated either by the article, nor the sources.

A 2 minute 49 second promo has released confirming the film and release date. Another update a few hours earlier confirmed the second schedule of filming. All signs are on to it being a noteworthy production (as shown by the 571k Youtube Views announcing the title in 10 minutes as well) and if we can further contribute to the production tab under the present article, I think we could easily convey the same.

WP:EVENT notability does not appear supported. There was an initial burst of national coverage (and The Guardian) in February 2022, but this has not developed into a high-profile WP:NCRIME, and there appears to be no effect with a significant or widespread impact supported by in-depth coverage. There also appears to have been some sensational coverage, and there are WP:BLPCRIME issues that even if resolved, do not seem to add support for notability due to the local coverage of a low-profile criminal case.

- @Beccaynr: What are your thoughts on merging/moving the content to Normandale Park? ---Another Believer (Talk) 04:36, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- I think it seems WP:UNDUE in that article, because the coverage does not appear to be about the park, it is about a mass shooting that happened near the park. A redirect to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2022, where it is already listed, seems more appropriate. Beccaynr (talk) 04:47, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- The redirect seems fine. The shooter was killed, I don't really know what more they can publish about it; there won't be a trial. No long-term effects from what I can see. It got lost in the news cycle and soon forgotten about. Do we really need an article for every shooting in the USA? Oaktree b (talk) 15:16, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- The alleged shooter was injured, and there is a criminal case that has received some periodic local coverage, but the case appears to be low-profile and without a significant or widespread impact. While some United States mass shootings may be notable based on available coverage, notability for a standalone article for this event does not appear supported by the WP:EVENT guideline.

- Strong keep - precedent shows that mass shootings with with any fatality meet WP's notability criteria. It's not a daily occurrence and there are plenty of articles about events that rarely, if ever receive coverage these days. Sourcing is also adequate. Knightoftheswords281 (talk) 06:26, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep The incident made the national news (Wash Post, NY Times) and occurred during a protest against police violence making it atypical. There is sufficient non-local coverage to demonstrate notability.Patapsco913 (talk) 23:41, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
- According to WaPo on Feb. 20, 2022, the shooting occurred "near the site of a demonstration planned to protest police violence". There was a brief flurry of national attention, which does not appear to have continued beyond The Guardian report on Feb. 27, 2022 about these types of events generally, that also includes corrections to initial statements from police published in the early sensational reporting, as well as a range of allegations about the suspect. Beccaynr (talk) 00:05, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep by the reason explained by @Knightoftheswords281 --MaeseLeon (talk) 18:37, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- According to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2022, e.g. on January 1, there were eight mass shootings in the US that day, four on January 9, three on January 19 and January 29, etc. The coverage appears to support a redirect to where this event is already mentioned, and no compelling reason has been offered to ignore guidelines and policy in response to the guideline and policy-based reasons (e.g. WP:NOTNEWS, the policy basis for the WP:EVENT guideline, and WP:BLP) to support a deletion/redirect; with regard to the vague wave at 'precedent', the list article suggested as a redirect target seems to demonstrate support for inclusion in that list, not a standalone article, and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not typically considered strong support. Beccaynr (talk) 19:00, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep as this was a notable mass shooting that interrupted a peaceful racial justice protest. Minnemeeples (talk) 21:06, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. It can certainly be argued it's just another shooting, WP:NOTNEWS, but there are some somewhat interesting bits in this case and in the initial communication afterwards. There was somewhat wide/deep coverage, though the time period could be argued- but it's common for crime stories to become very quiet before a trial. I'm happy to revisit my opinion on "but what about no ongoing coverage" after that. tedder (talk) 00:23, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2022. This is not an event that has impact beyond the event itself. As to the argument that it made national news - have you looked at how much content there is in every issue of the NY Times and Washington Post? National news is not = encyclopedic. It has to be more than news, and this isn't. Lamona (talk) 05:28, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

I hate to nominate non-promotional articles by new editors for deletion, especially when the subject matter has merit. I'm sure there's a lot written about fictional serial killers and about serial killers in pop culture. I believe Serial_killer#In_popular_culture is really lacking. However, this article reads like an essay with a lot of original research WP:OR. The sources don't really verify what is being claimed. Half of them don't even mention the term serial killer.

- Draftify - Regardless of the fact that the subject is potentially notable, the current article was clearly not ready for main space because, as pointed out in the nomination, it is pretty much entirely comprised of WP:OR and WP:SYNTH right now. The sources very often do not support the statements in the article (for example, there is a paragraph on Norman Bates that makes the claim that "therefore Psycho is currently considered by experts in the field as the pioneer in the use of a serial killer in the world of cinema", a claim that is not backed up at all by either of the citations being used to support it), some of the sources do not actually refer to the idea of serial killers in their discussion making their use in this article complete original research, and only one of them (the crimeculture site, which given their "About Us" description, I have doubts on whether this would count as a reliable source) actually seems to discuss the overall topic that this article is about. The topic may have merit, but until those issues are resolved, it simply should not be in the article main space. It should be sent back to draft to be worked on until these WP:OR and WP:SYNTH issues are resolved, and better citations from reliable sources are added that are actually on the topic and back up the statements in the article. The above Keep votes because the topic is "clearly notable" are completely ignoring the fact that notability concerns are not why this article was nominated to begin with. Rorshacma (talk) 16:20, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- Draftify was what I was initially going with, and I guess I should have gone with it over deletion. I'm considering withdrawing my nomination, draftifying the article, and giving the creator a few tips and reliable sources to start with.
- Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I have just gotten more active in AfD recently and I am still learning: is nominating a potentionally notable or clearly notable article for deletion ever justified? In this case, everything from the article's title to the sources cited is problematic and must be reworked. It does not belong in the article mainspace. There is barely anything salvageable. Should draftifying these articles always be my first recourse, or is AfD ever warranted? Mooonswimmer 16:46, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- While it is probably the most common reason cited, notability concerns are only one potential reason for bringing an article to AFD (you can see WP:DEL-REASON for examples of other reasons), so yes, it is justified to bring an article on a potentially notable subject to AFD if there are other grounds for deletion. For something like this, however, where it is a clearly good faith effort to create an article on a notable topic that just is not ready, incubation would be a more appropriate alternative then sending to AFD so quickly after its creation. Rorshacma (talk) 17:08, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. While there may be something notable on this out there, this is a poorly written piece of WP:OR that meris only WP:TNTing into oblivion, the sooner, the better. This is also inferior to Serial_killer#In_popular_culture, which at leasts cites some academic sources, unless the piece here, which cites, well, Screenrant and like. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:14, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. The text is reasonably encyclopaediacally written and it has low-quality but passable citations. Sure, there are some criticisms. The table has unclear inclusion criteria, is uncited, and could be iniscriminate. The sourcing could be improved with something more academic such as [21] or [22].

Non-notable company; fails WP:NCORP. I did a thorough search WP:BEFORE proposing deletion, including Google, WP:LIBRARY, and newspapers.com, and located no significant coverage. The 1971 Guardian article about partworks is the best available source, and it does not satisfy NCORP requirements, as it is a single source and does not focus on Orbis.

The article notes: "British Printing Communication Corporation (BPCC) has bought the books division of Orbis Publishing, a privately-owned producer of art-works for 2.7 m pounds sterling. Orbis's book division, which includes Jancis Robinson, the wine writer and Mary Gilliat, the expert in home design, among its authors, just above broke even on turnover of 8 m pounds sterling in the year ended September 1985. The two sides agreed on the deal just before midnight on Tuesday after four days of negotiations between Mr Robert Maxwell, chairman and chief executive of BPCC, and a team from Orbis. ... Orbis is the British arm of the private-owned Italian publishing house, De Agostini, which claims to be the largest publisher of part-works - illustraded books sold in weekly instalments - in Europe."

As a pianist, he led the Orbis All-Stars, an informal group that played at industry events. After Orbis was sold to Robert Maxwell's Pergamon Press, Innes moved to the south of France where he poured out a stream of books, mostly in the true crime genre."

- Comment: Unfortunately, the corporate history is tortuous and has an impact on what might be an appropriate merge target. BPCC/Maxwell Communication Corporation made an acquisition in 1986, but was this just the part of Orbis that published full books, leaving the main partworks business continuing with De Agostini? The distinctive activity was the partworks and, if that is so, then one woudn't want to merge material about the Orbis partworks into the MCC article (and unfortunately the en.wiki article about De Agostini is about the financial organisation rather than their activities).

- Comment Interestingly enough, the connected user vowed to get it deleted because they couldn't get it whitewashed, they originally just wanted to try to remove the information about their founding as a segregation academy. That said, I have not found much in the way of reliable sources. The best source was a master's thesis by (now Dr.) Monica Blair, which contains a good bit of information and could be used to identify a number of offline sources. Unfortunately, as a master's thesis, it was deemed inappropriate for use as a RS. I don't really like to grant the wishes of the racists who want to cover up their sordid past, but I'm not capable of digging into these sources, so maybe it's time to let the racists have their anonymity.

That not much of note has happened there in the last twenty years is irrelevant. That persons currently associated with the school don't like the article is irrelevant. I'll look in the IRS list. It should be there. Rhadow (talk) 23:23, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. I found sources using the search function on The Times of Gainesville, and listed a baker's dozen that can be used to improve the article on Talk:Lakeview Academy. The school's historic bennings as a segregation academy are documented in the master's thesis that Jacona lists above. The sources cited in that thesis, documenting the school's beginnings as a segregation academy, indicate the founder Robert Tether was advised to "downplay the school’s 'race appeal' when marketing it", so it's no surprise it has not yet been found on available partial lists of segregation academies. Even so, plenty of sources exist to qualify the school as a notable subject under WP:GNG and WP:NEXIST. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:26, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep with the sources already in the article I was leaning keep per the general notability guideline; the additional sources — Grand'mere Eugene has listed on the article talk page easily puts it over the line for me. Jacona (talk) 18:46, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, enough significant coverage does seem to exist to indicate notability. Not really seeing any compelling argument for deletion. Don't think I've ever seen an entity request its own deletion without having a reason so I suspect that there is more to the story than @Smileykaye: is telling.

- I can't speak to that myself. I saw the request on another admin's talk page, an admin who was reluctant to nominate this for deletion. I boldly nommed it per request and thought we could hash it out. I think the cited descriptor segregation academy has something to do with the desire for deletion. History is a fickle and heartless mistress. WP:Presentism makes the descriptor out to be a negative thing. BusterD (talk) 19:34, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- It was a negative term in the 1960s and 1970s, what the heck are you talking about? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:36, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- In regards to why the school edited the page for seven years and what changed, I can explain that. The technology director of the school spent several years cleaning up student pranks they would add to the school's article. When she left, I was asked to add content to keep the article updated. However, once I was informed by Jacona I could not add information as it was a conflict of interest, I stopped. I thought someone else would keep the article updated over the years, but no one has. Another Wikipedia member suggested it be deleted per the general notability guideline;. As there is very little mentioned about the school, that made the most sense to me. Smileykaye (talk) 15:21, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Smileykaye: what account did the technology director of the school edit under? The identified account (Sondra at Lakeview Academy) never cleaned up a single student prank. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:16, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Horse Eye's Back I do not know what account she used. It was not Sondra at Lakeview Academy. It would have been between 2007-2015. I noticed a couple of the posts and brought them to her attention. As the technology director, she handled it.

- Comment — Not to worry, BillHPike. Blair wrote from primary sources, most of which are apparently in the Lakeview Academy's archives. Blair describes a series of circumstances, using the logic, "If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck..." arriving at the conclusion it was a "segregation academy". However, I've checked and quoted/summarized/paraphrased the online sources available and two books I now have on my Kindle; none so far use that term. I've paraphrased the sources fairly closely, based on reliable secondary sources. Readers can draw their own conclusions. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 04:59, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

For three years, this article has been tagged for notability. In the sidebar, there was an assertion that NantWorks is a public company. It is not. A run through the references finds little to do with NantWorks, other than assertions that the other companies mentioned are part of the conglomerate. Much of what is there is conflated with NantHealth, which is a publicly traded company. NantWorks, it seems, is the private holding company of the founder and his associates. It is not noteworthy.

There are mentions, as well as entries in things like IMDB, but none of the small amount of biographical information is reliable. As others have mentioned, this article seems to have been prompted by the possible participation by Kevin Spacey in a film by Fallaize. Those articles only name-check Fallaize, who is clearly much less well-known than Spacey. It is possible that if this film is made and released, Fallaize will suddenly be a household name.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This is an odd case. The coords in the article were off, but fixing them didn't make a difference: this is the "same" place as Sanders. I don't have much of a history to work with on the topos but it appears that the name Chetco was (re-)added to the maps in the 2012-ish update, though GNIS says it was collected in the original scrape of the maps. In any case the current map's claim that Chetco is on the north of I-40 and Sanders is on the south is just nonsense: the original settlement was all on the north, and that's where the elementary and middle school have been since at least the late 1960s, when the southern portion barely existed; and that's where older topos say Sanders was. As to text references, results are heavily tainted by the area in Oregon; the only clear reference was in a short story in which it appears in a list of towns passed through on a bus, taking the place of Sanders in the numeration. I don't know what that means, and I didn't see the name on the highway signs. It's certainly possible that it is an older name for Sanders, or the Navajo name, but I couldn't find something to cite to this effect. Mangoe (talk) 01:03, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- I see what you mean about Oregon. I also saw the fiction piece about a bus ride. I don't think I have ever seen the name on a sign either and I used to regularly drive I-40 through AZ. Passing mention here. (fwiw they say it is "next to" Sanders). Unclear whether this source is reliable but it won't matter if we don't find others. Re: Navajo, I don't think so. Not a speaker of the language, so I could be wrong, but I once spent a lot of time in NM, where it's an official language and appears on all official signage, ie rules for riding public transit. Most words have a lot more vowels, with diacriticals. Will look more later, need to tie up some loose ends rn Elinruby (talk) 06:06, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - since this is an extension of List of songs recorded by K. S. Chithra, they should have been grouped into one single AfD. The rationale for keeping them though remains the same. WP:NOTDATABASE does not apply here, since this isn't "an indiscriminate collection of information". It is not a database, it is a list, a legitimate one, which needs sourcing, just like every list of recorded songs by other singers. I suggest that we start a project of sourcing them all instead of deleting a page which so much time and effort have been put into. Other than that, the notability of the songs as suggested by the nominator isn't as important (in lists of works, no requirement exists for all the works to be notable - the subject is more notable, as per WP:NLIST: "the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable") - fact is, by the way the majority of films are notable, so actually NFILM might be more suitable than NMUSIC. If by then no sources are found then I believe the right course of action would be redirecting it to the main list. Shahid • Talk2me 11:06, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. This is one of several AfDs I have now read where virtually identical !votes have been posted by multiple parties that leave the discussion evenly divided. Those advocating deletion correctly argue that NLIST needs to be met; those arguing to keep correctly argue that discographies of notable artists have generally been treated as notable, and that individual items don't have to be notable for a list to have a Wikipedia article, so NMUSIC is generally not relevant. I don't see how repeating this discussion any number of times is a productive exercise; we clearly need to have a wider discussion about what criteria we use to evaluate the notability of such discographies, and probably use a few bundled nominations to make the discussion more efficient. As such I'm closing those nominations in today's log that are clearly divided on this basis with this identical statement, which seems fitting given the identical discussions.

No evidence that the topic itself has garnered significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject; see WP:GNG and WP:LISTN. No evidence that the list is anything other than original research and appears to be largely unverifiable; see WP:V and WP:NOR. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 11:34, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Nothing in gnews and a plain google search has 1 hit. Would reconsider if something is found in Greek. LibStar (talk) 00:44, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

- We need a Greek speaker to ID the actual name of the museum to even come close to assessing notability. This sounds like a bad English translation, which is why results are essentially wiki mirrors and travel guides. Star Mississippi 14:37, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per failure to establish the notability or even the very existence of this museum. A clarification on which museum would trigger a review of this opinion. gidonb (talk) 00:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- Comment From using archived copy of the first reference I believe "Ινστιτούτο Ιστορίας Εμπορικής Ναυτιλίας" is the museum in question. Scrolling through the first few pages of Google search notability is plausible (I see coverage from a radio station) but I don't understand Greek so I cannot evaluate the usefulness of the sources.

Non notable future film. Got a little blip of news coverage from it's stunt casting of Kevin Spacey but wikipedia is not the news. duffbeerforme (talk) 00:35, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - Film has not been made yet. At the moment the only sources are about the news that Kevin Spacey will be in it. In fact, until the film is completed even that is not 100%. If this becomes a hit film, then this article will be warranted. Lamona (talk) 03:58, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
