Musician that does not meet the requirements of WP:GNG. He's released four albums but the first two were independent releases (the other two are on obscure labels). A Google search finds social media presence but no sign of significant coverage. Pichpich (talk) 18:09, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources mentioning Faid only mention him for a single thing: his theory that Mikhail Gorbachev is the Antichrist, for which he received the satirical Ig Nobel Prize. Here are three such sources; note that the third has merely a passing mention:

  1. Levine, Art (June 4, 1988). "THE DEVIL IN GORBACHEV". Washington Post. Archived from the original on September 5, 2022. Retrieved December 29, 2024.
  2. Abrahams, Marc (May 10, 2004). "Devilish digits". The Guardian. Archived from the original on August 8, 2022. Retrieved December 29, 2024.
  3. Whisker, Daniel (July 2012). "Apocalyptic Rhetoric on the American Religious Right: Quasi-Charisma and Anti-Charisma". Max Weber Studies. 12 (2): 159–184 – via JSTOR. The periodic modification of the specific signs of prophetic fulfilment is a key feature of the discourse: no-one now presents Mikhail Gorbachev as a potential Antichrist, as did Robert Faid in 1988 (Faid 1988), or the Native Americans as Antichrist's army, as did Cotton Mather in 1693 (Boyer 1992).

In its current state, the article contains information far beyond this single thing. This information is either completely unsourced or copied verbatim, in what I assume is a copyright violation, from Faid's obituary on Legacy.com, an unreliable source which hosts user-generated content and nonsensically claims that Faid "held the honor of being in the top ten nuclear scientists until 1975".

In my opinion, this single thing for which Faid is known is not enough to make him notable. Instead, this information, along with the three sources above, would be better suited as a part of a different article, perhaps List of conspiracy theories § Antichrist or Faid's entry at List of Ig Nobel Prize winners § 1993. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk – edits) 22:51, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This unaccredited seminary has an inactive website and does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NORG. All the (scant) sources in the article are to its own webpages or to affiliated sites. A BEFORE search turns up no evidence of notability. (It appears to have claimed accreditation at different through a diploma mill network and another school that claims accreditation but is also a diploma mill, but neither of these is evidence of notability, and indeed argues against notability as an educational institution.) Regardless, I found zero independent coverage of this organization. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:38, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. Can't find any (let alone reliable) non-trivial secondary coverage beyond this blog post and this forum discussion, which isn't helpful. This seems to be a safe delete. Jordano53 20:07, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of notability. Seems like a totally unremarkable primary school, and schools are not inherently notable. TheLongTone (talk) 15:46, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

https://www.examiner.org.hk/2020/02/21/the-last-chinese-style-architecture-st-francis-of-assisi-church-and-school-in-shek-kip-mei/news/hongkong/ This article talks about how the school is one of the last remaining built in the architectural style of Chinese renaissance in the 1950s, I think this deserves recognition and I apologise for not including this in the article Ilovefood123123 (talk) 04:00, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is the only non primary source in the article, so even were we to accept it, we are not at a keep yet. But it is interesting because it does cover the school but it spends more time on the church, and it treats the church and school as a complex. Although I am not seeing notability for the school as a school, that would be an excellent source under NGEO for the complex of church plus school, and an article that focuses on the architecture. Similarly it is also treated in Building Catholic Churches in Hong Kong. I cannot find an article on the church and school, but that would appear to be the encyclopaedic subject here. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Besides from this, I have mentioned previously that this is a local English-teaching primary school, that also teaches French and Japanese on the side. This is likely to be the only primary school that operate in this mode in Hong Kong and somehow in my opinion gives the school notability. Ilovefood123123 (talk) 14:42, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's all well and good, but what does that have to do with whether or not this school meets notability standards? Notability =/= importance. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 16:13, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't Wikipedia exists to share notable info, not only about the latest Pokemon movie or the shoe size of the hottest actress of the year but also the information about small places that otherwise people would never know about? If is like other similar old schools I've encountered then they might participate in many local, regional and national activities but without doing much promotion about it, just teaching individuals who later become notable. Yeah, this is all speculation but wanted to invite you, to think about how sometimes is much more worthwhile to share info about something, or someone, that doesn't care to be known and rather is dedicated to their own craft. Bit-Pasta (talk) 16:44, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The words in blue are links. Writing an encyclopedia article isn't like writing an essay. When one writes an encyclopedia article, all they are doing is reporting on what others have written in reliable sources independent of the subject. The standards for notability are based on the availability of such sources, a somewhat objective standard; rather than the subjective standard of what people think is important. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 22:08, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The book and article were both written by Ayako Fukushima, so we currently have a single source for notability. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 17:27, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just curious: how did you determine that? 4.37.252.50 (talk) 22:17, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article has the author at the bottom, and Google Books always lists the book author. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 22:30, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I thought by article you meant the Wikipedia article at hand. But I'm only seeing the one independent source, the article by the author mentioned. At this point, my !vote would be a Weak keep, based on the level of detail found in that article. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 22:56, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I have to consciously distinguish "Wikipedia article" and "source article" when commenting in discussions. A single source isn't enough to pass WP:NORG though. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 01:41, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would you somehow be more inclined to keep an article on the architectural building itself instead of the school, seeing that there are more sources based on that. Something that @Sirfurboy has brought up on. Ilovefood123123 (talk) 01:58, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here’s a paper written by the same person from the previous source on the topic. https://catalog.lib.kyushu-u.ac.jp/opac_download_md/7172136/85_453.pdf Ilovefood123123 (talk) 02:01, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for finding these sources, but sources by multiple authors are usually needed to pass WP:NORG. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 03:07, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the article is kept based on the provided sources, I would consider a move to "St. Francis of Assisi Church and School". Helpful Raccoon (talk) 03:11, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Schools, which says:

    All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations, the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria. (See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES)

There is definitely something odd here. It gets mentioned in this book [4] and this person claims they were educated there [5]. All Anglican churches are Episcopal, so I expect that description could just be over explaining and should be the "episcopal Anglican Church of Chile". I don't think it is claiming to be a breakaway province. It is also necessary to also search on the proper Spanish name "Universidad San Anselmo de Canterbury" and also worth a check on a more anglicised "Saint Anselm of Canterbury University", but that finds others but not this one as far as I can see. I found a mention in this Creative Writing thesis [6] but that shows nothing - the creative writing could be modelled on a real or fictional place. I think this refers to it just as San Anselmo University [7] but searching under that name seems to be dominated by hits to a university of that name in Rome. And then attacking from another direction, the official Anglican seminary in Chile appears to just be called the Chilean Anglican Seminary [8]. There is a wikidata item [9] which fails to tell us where this is. Chile is a huge country, and Santiago is so far from many other locations that a second seminary is quite reasonable, yet despite extensive searching, I cannot find a website for this supposed university, nor an address, nor even the city it is in. The logo [10] was uploaded by Eastmain. I cannot find it anywhere else. In English the text says Saint Anselm's College, and a facebook page created in 2011 and with 0 followers [11] suggests it is a college of the University of Chile - but the University of Chile page does not verify. The Spanish text seems at odds with the English. Perhaps Eastmain can recall where this logo came from. Delete certainly appears right, but if this is a WP:HOAX then people are using this hoax to misrepresent themselves in books and CVs. It would be useful to establish if it is a hoax - in which case the wikidata item also needs to come down. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:28, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A reverse image search quickly showed up that the supposed University logo is modified from the one for the municipality of Tomé. Which is, at least, in Chile. If this place exists at all, it is presumably located there. But odd that it has the same crest, modified. Also odd that the municipality page only mentions another University college, and that one certainly has a different crest [12]. Still looking odd.

@Sirfurboy The LinkedIn user touting her credential there says she got a medical/surgery degree... from a seminary? She also links back to the Wiki page. (She also has text on her page in Indonesian; I'm guessing this is just a fake account.) It would not surprise me if most of the ghostly fragments you've found are based on the Wikipedia page, which has been here since 2008. If we can't find any pre-2008 content to validate this, I think the Wikidata item should go as well. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:23, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sirfurboy The only digital evidence of an "Episcopal Anglican Church of Chile" is this alumni newsletter post from Clive Read, who claims to have been made a bishop in it in 2006. Read has an, um, interesting ordination pedigree: [13], [14]. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:28, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, that bishop is obviously fake too. But all the same, as it's a subject I have been editing just today, I'll mention that he gets the name of Elim wrong (which one of their pastors really should not do!) Elim is officially the Elim Foursquare Gospel Alliance, a pentecostal denomination. If there is any truth to anything else there, then it's a one man band and clearly too small an affair to have a seminary. This ticks all the boxes for a WP:HOAX.

I concur with Sirfurboy's analysis that this subject is likely a hoax. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:13, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
