The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn. While they arguably may not satisfy WP:NORG (in terms of WP:AUD), User:Jweiss11 has provided sources that show enough notability to meet WP:GNG; I said I'd withdraw the nomination for WP:BLAR if that was provided, and it has been. Since nobody else has commented anything other than a "Keep" rationale, I am withdrawing this. (non-admin closure) Aoidh (talk) 02:15, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Per WP:BLAR, the article is being brought here since it should be redirected to XFL (2020)#Teams. The article was copy-pasted from a draft to bypass the AfC process, but it is not ready for mainspace because the article's subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NORG (WP:NTEAM directs us to WP:GNG; there is no presumed notability for the team simply having played games). Source assessment tables have been provided at Talk:Orlando Guardians#Notability concern; of the 11 sources in the article and the 20 provided on the talk page, only 1 constitutes significant coverage in an independent third-party source, the rest is trivial or non-independent routine coverage. Notability must be demonstrated, and the sources in the article show plenty of notability for the XFL as a whole, but none for this team specifically. A WP:BEFORE search turned up nothing that would demonstrate notability. ESPN for example only has trivial coverage and press releases. There's some routine local coverage but per WP:AUD is not sufficient. It may be an issue of WP:TOOSOON but it's certainly not ready for a standalone article at this time.

- Speedy keep and quite frankly not even worth discussing, as the original poster has made several blatant false claims about the sources. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 22:49, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Can you give an example? You've written a significant amount of the article so I can see why you'd want to keep it (discounting a blocked sockpuppet you are its primary author), but you can't say "several blatant false claims" without at least an example. - Aoidh (talk) 22:49, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- The two sources just added here and here are yet more examples of the trivial sources that can be found, but they are about former players and only make passing mentions of the team; per WP:NTEAM coverage of a (former) player doesn't contribute to notability of the team. - Aoidh (talk) 23:02, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- OK. The most glaring is the Middletown Press article, which discusses the 2020 Guardians' season in depth, far beyond what would be considered routine. I have also added a second source discussing the New York Guardians' quarterback situation from well outside the NYC metro area, a newspaper in Harrisburg. That is two reliable, independent, non-routine sources, which meets the GNG threshold. Several of the other sources cited are from independent newspapers, going beyond what I (and probably most Wikipedia editors) would consider "routine." "Routine" coverage is birth announcements, obituaries, individual entries on a scoreboard—items far more trivial than the coverage that the Orlando Sentinel and New York Post articles have provided. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 23:03, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'm assuming you're not referring to this interview with and about the coach since interviews aren't independent, so would you mind linking what article you're referring to? As I said above the quarterback article is about a player and makes only a passing mention of the team, that's not significant coverage. I'm interested in what Middletown Press article you're referring to, but this is in no way significant coverage of the (at the time) New York Guardians. - Aoidh (talk) 23:12, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- And there it is. That's the blatant falsehood I'm talking about. Your standard for establishing something beyond routine/trivial is beyond what could realistically be achieved for any entity. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 23:21, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- There what is? Is this your significant coverage? Information about some players and a passing mention that one had
a touchdown to give the Guardians a 14-6 lead over the Los Angeles Wildcats entering halftime
is significant coverage of the team? That is in no way significant coverage and I was worried I shouldn't have nominated this for deletion but if even the article's authors can't come up with better than this, it's very clearly not notable. - Aoidh (talk) 23:26, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. In my opinion, this is a clearly notable topic. The team's already played a season of professional football in the XFL (2020), is going to be playing a second next month, and has received plenty of coverage. In addition to all the sources on the talk (and I disagree with some of those "assessments"), other sources I've found include: [1] [2] (a listing of Guardians articles) [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] etc etc. XFL teams are notable. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:03, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- What notability guideline says that
The team's already played a season of professional football in the XFL (2020)
is something that makes it notable? Throwing another huge list at the wall to see what sticks only highlights the lack of notability of the subject. This is about a game and has only trivial information about the team. Rather than breaking down why each of those is insufficient (yet again) I'll ask again, what are the WP:THREE best sources? I certainly hope that isn't one of them. We don't need more "etc etc" and quantity we need quality in the sources.XFL teams are notable
per what? - Aoidh (talk) 23:08, 7 January 2023 (UTC)"XFL teams are notable" – per what?
– per having "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:12, 7 January 2023 (UTC)- Okay then, what are the WP:THREE sources for that? Where is this WP:SIGCOV? Out of the now 40+ sources that have been thrown together there's 1 that meets that definition. I'm only asking for two sources to meet the bare minimum of what is required of Wikipedia articles, I don't think that's unreasonable. Other than this, what are the two best sources for this article? I will happily speedy close this discussion if the bare minimum can be shown here, that's all I'm asking for. There's no doubt that there's a lot of WP:TRIVIAL sources, but quantity of sources is not an indicator of notability. - Aoidh (talk) 23:18, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

- Accusing me of "dismissing an argument as being unworthy of serious consideration" is not only inaccurate since I very clearly gone to great lengths to examine and consider the points made, but that accusation is also serious projecting.

- What notability guideline says that
- Keep Clearly notable subject with an abundance of significant converage in independent sources as demonstrated in article and by J. Myrle Fuller and BeanieFan1 1here. This is frankly a silly nomination highlighted by the absurd argument that an independent news coverage magically becomes not independent if it includes quotes from interviews with people related to the subject. Nomination should be withdrawn. Jweiss11 (talk) 00:38, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- That's not what I said, I said quotes in the article aren't independent, not that it invalidates the entire source as non-independent. But when the only relevant part of the source is quotes from the coach of the team, there's no independent coverage within that quote; it's from the team itself. Given that the list of sources is made up of things like this I have to ask, which sources exactly are providing the significant coverage? I have no problem withdrawing this nomination but when asked for examples, there's nothing but vague assertions of notability and lists of trivial mentions. If this nom is so "silly" why is this presented as significant coverage? That is silly. If it's so clearly notable it should be a simple thing to show where the coverage is rather than trying to bury it in a mountain of trivial mentions. - Aoidh (talk) 00:58, 8 January 2023 (UTC)s
- Aoidh, the Guardians are mentioned outside of the Gilbride's quotes in The Middletown Press article. But even if they weren't, for the purposes of establishing notability, if a reliable source chooses to interview Kevin Gilbride about the the Guardians, and then publishes Gilbride's quotes about the Guardians, that demonstrates that the notability of the subject, even if Gilbride's comments contain falsehoods. You're wasting everyone's time arguing against this rolling snowball. Jweiss11 (talk) 01:11, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- I was hoping with such "clear" notability someone could provide significant coverage, but unfortunately that has not materialized. I will not be withdrawing this AfD because the sources purported to show notability do nothing of the sort. Interviews like that do not contribute to notability. The issue isn't "falsehoods" it's independence from the subject. The mentions of the team in this source outside of the quotes are trivial, it's a passing mention in the beginning of a game they played in, and a passing mention that "players were finishing their after-practice meetings" something so basic and routine you can't do anything with. As for the snowball, a couple of the article's creators asserting notability isn't a snowball, especially when the keep arguments are inconsistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Notability must be shown, and throwing everything one can Google at the wall to see what sticks does not show notability. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for WP:THREE but there's not even two. It wasn't my intention to respond to every comment but misrepresenting what I said needed to be addressed. I'm still happy to withdraw this nomination if the very basic standard of WP:GNG can be demonstrated, but what's been discussed so far falls short of even that, and stuffing as many links as one can into a discussion does not change that. The links do show notability for the XFL, and this is a reasonable target to redirect this page to until notability can be established at some point, but this article isn't there yet. Again, I'm more than happy to withdraw this if the bare minimum can be shown, but a lone interview isn't it. - Aoidh (talk) 01:31, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

- @Jweiss11: thanks. I wish it didn't take the fourth editor in a deletion discussion to find sources like that (I'm including myself, I looked) but I'm true to my word; I asked for the bare minimum to meet WP:GNG and that surpasses what I asked for.

- I excluded sources from Chicago (Tribune, etc), in an attempt to show notability. Manny's Deli, which is notable, has many Chicago area sources and yet hasn't been nominated for deletion. If I add these sources I excluded, would that help make the notability case (sticking to top local publications). Eleven City Diner and Kaufman's (as well as Steingolds - but I didn't add an article for that one) have had a number of references in articles from publications from outside the Chicago area, and/or intended for a national audience.
- I acknowledge that these other delis are not as notable as Mannys. But I attempt to make the case that they pass the notability test.
- For example, if these articles are deleted, why is Kenny & Zuke's Delicatessen still not deleted. It has articles of similar quality and they are more of a local area nature than what I used here.

- Delete This is a company therefore WP:NCORP guidelines apply. Restaurants are a difficult topic because there's an entire industry build up around reviewing restaurants, from "influencers" to travel books, TV and Michelin stars which begs the question, how do we evaluate notability of restaurants. There is the section WP:RESTAURANTREVIEWS at NCORP which provides some pointers such as discounting brief and routine reviews (including Zagat), etc, but it still falls short of resolving many of the issues surrounding restaurant notability in general. There were a few attempts in the past (e,g, WP:REST) to write guidelines specifically for restaurants but none were adopted. So we're left with NCORP and we therefore require references that discuss the *company* in detail. WP:SIRS tells us that *each* reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability so we need at least two deep or significant sources containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Here's my take on the sources against NCORP guidelines:
- Nation's Restaurant News article is based on an interview with the owner so all the information has been provided by the owner/company. This fails ORGIND as there's no "Independent Content"
- The Chicago Tribune is a mere two sentence mention about the deli in The Loop opening. It fails CORPDEPTH.
- Chicago Business article is a run-of-the-mill review consisting of 9 sentences briefly describing the decor and the food. It is not significant and contains no in-depth information about the restaurant. Fails CORPDEPTH
- The Jewish Times article is a mere single instance mention-in-passing, fails CORPDEPTH
- The Nosher article is also a single sentence mention with not in-depth information on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
- This in a magazine from the University of Washington is also a mere single sentence mention-in-passing, fails CORPDEPTH
- There's a bunch of sources from eater.com - this is a puff piece written before the restaurant opened a location in LA and relies entirely on information provided by the owner/company and the journalist did not add sufficient "Independent Content", fails ORGIND. This next one is a "hidden history of root beer floats in Chicago" which includes profiles of restaurants that continue to sell beer floats. The topic company has a paragraph but again, all the information is provided by the owner/company, fails ORGIND. This next is a mention consisting of two sentences, fails CORPDEPTH. Finally, this announces the closure of the Lincoln Park location and is based on a announcement by the company on Facebook. It is not significant and there is insufficient detail to meet CORPDEPTH.
- This from npr.org is a comedic description of eating a sandwich from the topic company. It contains no in-depth information about the company, fails CORPDEPTH
- This from food network is a recipe, fails CORPDEPTH
- This from NYTimes magazine has a couple of sentences mentioning the diner with no in-depth information about the company, fails CORPDEPTH
- None of the sources meet NCORP criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 15:04, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

- If there is some sort of project or way for us in the Wiki community to solve this problem - to come up with a general notability guideline for restaurants, I am willing to volunteer some time/effort. I understand the risks involved in not wanting Wiki to be a place to promote restaurants. But although there may not be an easy consensus rubric that will satisfy every case, perhaps Wikipedia could benefit from some kind of "floor" guidelines. I also bet there are many articles of restaurants that may or may not meet current notability standards.
- Also, a confounding factor is that wiki has virtually unlimited space, so the standard should not be so harsh as it would be in a space limited encyclopedia. ~~ Sblument (talk) 23:43, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Response Just be aware of WP:WHATABOUTX at AfD. If you believe there are topics here that aren't notable, feel free to nominate them for deletion. On the other hand, in my experience, there are editors who, at a fundamental level, don't like the idea of carving out different guidelines for different topics. For me, I've encountered a number of topic areas where the project might benefit from specific guidelines and Restaurants are one of them. Although to be fair from what I've seen of available sources, this Diner still would still fail the guidelines I have in mind. We would need a lot more than common or garden restaurant reviews and announcements of opening and closing branches. For example, if the restaurant was associated with a notable chef or if the restaurant won a prestigious annual award (as opposed to "Restaurant of the Week!) or awarded something from Michelin, etc. If you do decide to request/campaign for restaurant-specific guidelines, please ping me as I would also like to participate.

One thing in particular with Jewish delis - there could be an idea that these delis are notable for the Jewish community, whereas the most notable Jewish delis (in Chicago, Manny's, in New York, Katz's) that feel notable in general. Michelin doesn't give stars to delis of course, and I would guess that most Michelin 1 star restaurants (even those with notable chefs) do not have a wiki article. For example in Chicago, Beverly Kim has an article as a notable chef, but her restaurants don't, even Parachute which has had many years of 1 Michelin star.

- I did some research and think there may or may not be a need for a notability guideline for restaurants. It looks like wikiproject food and drink would be a good place, maybe for an essay? I would be willing to write one that talks about notability for restaurants and bars. Sblument (talk) 19:41, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

- Just be aware that if there aren't any specific guidelines for Restaurants, they'll continue to fall under NCORP but Food and Drink is the best place to start a discussion for sure. HighKing++ 13:52, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Response Just be aware of WP:WHATABOUTX at AfD. If you believe there are topics here that aren't notable, feel free to nominate them for deletion. On the other hand, in my experience, there are editors who, at a fundamental level, don't like the idea of carving out different guidelines for different topics. For me, I've encountered a number of topic areas where the project might benefit from specific guidelines and Restaurants are one of them. Although to be fair from what I've seen of available sources, this Diner still would still fail the guidelines I have in mind. We would need a lot more than common or garden restaurant reviews and announcements of opening and closing branches. For example, if the restaurant was associated with a notable chef or if the restaurant won a prestigious annual award (as opposed to "Restaurant of the Week!) or awarded something from Michelin, etc. If you do decide to request/campaign for restaurant-specific guidelines, please ping me as I would also like to participate.

- Delete Most of the references are passing mentions that basically function as advertisements for the establishment. The one lengthy one (Nation's, above) describes the restaurant and its offerings, which is rather like doing an article on a hardware store and saying: "It has nails, light bulbs, and a great variety of drill bits at a good price." Just saying that it is a restaurant and it serves food is rather the antithesis of notability. Also, I agree with HighKing that some better guidance for restaurants is needed for the exact reasons that they provide. Lamona (talk) 18:33, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

- Comment. In general, strength and conditioning coaches (and position coaches, coordinators excluded) don't get all that much media coverage by virtue of their job. He's been active for a while, so it's quite possible that he got local/regional coverage in newspapers about the teams. That being said, he is in the Strength and Conditioning Coaches Hall of Fame, so he might pass WP:ANYBIO#1 except that I'm not sure how relevant/organized/legitimate the organization actually is. I'll have to take a deeper look. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 20:16, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- In terms of media coverage, I was able to find
- I'm not quite sure that this is SIGCOV, but if the Hall of Fame honor is from a legit org (The Tennessean seems to give it weight in an obit) and is reliable (it's written by a professional historian), then I'd think that there's just enough coverage to keep the page. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 20:41, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- (weak) Keep. I had neglected to look at the sources presented by Cbl62 when commenting above. When taking those into consideration alongside the unique sources I listed (the one from DFP was a duplicate), I think there's WP:SIGCOV from multiple independent RS. He also appears to pass WP:ANYBIO#1 owing to his hall of fame induction. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 20:44, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Fails WP:GNG, mainly the "significant coverage" criterion, and arguably whether any of the sources are "independent of the subject." All the materials I could find appear to be repurposed press releases on ANN, and one article on Crunchyroll's news feed with the same information. Merely because it exists does not confer notability, per se. Given the lack of reporting on the show beyond its announcement and a single cast update, I think this fails several benchmarks for keeping. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 20:18, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Redirect per nom.Album did not chart and I found no RS reviews, only passing mentions in the context of the band. Regarding the existing source, obscuresound.com is a blog, so WP:SPS applies. Jfire (talk) 19:39, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Changing to Keep per the sourcing found by Bearcat. (In my defense, the Exclaim! review does not appear on the first page of search results for me, and the coverage in Ontario papers is not indexed by Wikipedia Library.) Jfire (talk) 01:42, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. I'll grant that this is the album before this band really broke through in a big way, so there hasn't been as much written about it as there has been about the albums that came after it, but it was not at all difficult to find more sourcing for it than the nomination suggests — it's already up to four footnotes now, all from reliable sources. (One of which, further, was easily found in the first page of a simple Google search, even if the others required a bit more effort to locate.) I will grant that 10 to 15 years ago, Wikipedia's notability standard for albums was "any album recorded by a notable band is 'inherently' notable regardless of sourcing issues", and has since wisely shifted away from that toward "the album's notability has to be individually established by sourcing that's actually about the album itself", so sometimes old articles created under the old notability standards are indeed poorly sourced — but they are sometimes salvageable with stronger sourcing than the rules that were applicable in 2010 required.

I definitely don't remember seeing it, and while even if I had I still wouldn't've called this notable on that alone, the rest of the coverage Bearcat found looks like it seals the deal.
- As for the renaming proposal, I had thought about that as well, but I don't see any other significant uses of the word "medicinals" on the site aside from the PJ Harvey song. The word doesn't even appear on Medicine (disambiguation), nor does its singular form. Disambiguating seems unnecessary to me. QuietHere (talk) 15:34, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

- Notability on Wikipedia is about reliable sources in the plural, not just one source. One cited source is the case now after the review of the article i.e. the subject's voice over career, barring the external links. I don't believe the case can be made for being a notable bartender in this instance. The bar owned by the subject in question appears to be notable but a Wikipedia article could not be written only about a notable bartender with those sources presented (and could practically anyone good at their job with a few write ups online by extension have a Wikipedia article? I think not). Therefore, notability, if granted for purposes of a Wikipedia article is about the subject's voice over career and that alone primarily. If it is decided to keep the article, those who favor doing so should ideally find proper additional sources and cite them accordingly regarding the subject's work and impact.

- Keep. I went through the article and consolidated the sections due to the short length, making a "Personal life and career" section instead. I added where citations are needed. The consensus appears to be to keep the article. Due to its present state, I feel it's ok to keep it and simply put a references needed notice at the top. Thanks

WP:D doesn't seem like an appropriate way to tag this list. Can we get a bot to convert this to Category:Cultural depictions?

- Well, I'd be inclined to delete this, as it is much too broad, and we have multiple existing categories, templates, and articles on many cultural topics. For instance, we have
- Animals in culture (aka Human uses of animals), ditto for Reptiles in culture, Birds in culture, Insects in culture, etc etc.
- Template:Mammals in culture
- Template:Reptiles in culture
- Template:Birds in culture
- You'll see that each of this contains a list of links to individual species and related topics in culture, i.e. we have MANY articles just in this one area. As for categories:
- Category:Animals in culture
- Category:Birds in art
- Category:Biology and culture
- Category:Birds in mythology, etc etc etc. And this is just one area, cultural depictions of animals.
- So, I think an overall list of Cultural depictions pretty ridiculous, you might as well call it List of everything in culture, go for it. My !vote is DELETE for this reason. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:14, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delete This isn't a list of cultural depictions, it's a list of pages that happened to be split out from their main articles. There are countless more sections within articles that list cultural depictions which are just as valid content but there were not length issues resulting in a split. There's lot more pages like Walter Raleigh in popular culture, and categories work better here. Reywas92Talk 22:35, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I just created Category:Cultural depictions and have begun to populate it with things that have "cultural depictions" in their title and aren't in a subcategory with the "cultural depictions" in its name. Far too many things would be in this article. Renaming it Cultural depictions of people wouldn't work either. Just look at how many categories there are for cultural depictions of various groups of people and how many entries they have. You'd need a lot of different list articles to list everything properly. And so its not just duplicating a category, have a table listing additional information to be more useful. Dream Focus 03:00, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Dream Focus Just a note that Category:Cultural depictions of people existed, but was depreciated after the discussion linked from: Category talk:Cultural depictions of people. See also discussion I listed below; in summary the categories for cultural depiction just duplicate the "works about" tree. The category you've created should just redirect to Category:Works by topic, and all other cultural depiction categories need to be renamed or merged, many pointlessly duplicate stuff (example: Category:Cultural depictions of Adolf Hitler = Category:Works about Adolf Hitler). Etc. The disambig here is just a list of works by topic, too broad to exist as a list IMHO. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:34, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. What is cultural depiction? It's list of works by topic, too broad to be a list. PS. This is related to the naming chaos I've described at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Culture#Naming_of_articles_in_Category:Topics_in_culture:_time_for_consistency?.

Non-notable website that fails WP:NWEB and WP:GNG. The subject, a short-lived/limited-scope/run-of-the-mill website meets none of the notability criteria. It seemingly didn't win the only award for which it was (self?)nominated. The only mentions in news sources are trivial passing mentions (like these in the Irish Examiner [12][13][14]). With zero mentions (even in passing) in Irish Times, Irish Independent, etc. In my WP:BEFORE, the only sources that I could find to confirm the basic facts (launch/closure/etc) are primary sources.

- Bundling is allowed for related articles, and I see no reason why it should not be permitted here. GiantSnowman 18:06, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Govvy I really can't see what is terrible about nominating empty articles. If you said that about two articles from the current season, potentially about the one from the 2021–22 season, I might incline to agree that they deserve some more time, but otherwise the only terrible thing is the logic to keep the other articles. The 2013–14 and 2015–16 articles haven't been edited in years, so it's very unlikely that anything will change about this in the future, and what's the point of having incomplete/empty articles here? But if you like, feel free to complete all of them, I'll be more than happy. Penepi (talk) 11:14, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Penepi: The country league is the only thing that keeps them together, different seasons can have different results, different clubs can actually have different results. The way you have bundled is a lot of work to review each season article and not only that you're asking people to delete these, when they need to be assessed differently. This is not a good nomination. Govvy (talk) 15:37, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep These pages are mostly for the top league in Slovakia - a fully professional league. As such WP:NSEASONS is met. Furthermore, the reason for nomination appears to be that the pages need improving. Which means as per WP:ATD they should be improved not deleted. Nfitz (talk) 10:29, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Question. WP:NSEASONS specifically states:
In cases in which the individual season notability is insufficient for an article, multiple seasons may be grouped together in a single article. This grouping might be based on head coaches, conference affiliation, or any other reasonable standard that results in sufficient coverage for the period to warrant an article.
On that basis, my question is: Is there any way that some of these individual seasons could be combined together in a single article, incorporating at least a paragraph or two of meaningful prose citing reliable sources? Cielquiparle (talk) 20:22, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment @Cielquiparle: Why would you group a season from 2013-14 with a season from 2022-23, there is no logic in doing that. Yet we have multiple seasons from different years in one AfD here. This is not a practical way to run an AfD. Govvy (talk) 23:02, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'd think the combining would be mostly done in cases where a team for a season or two had slipped into a lower league which many not meet NSEASONS. Some (all?) of these nominations are for top league seasons. There's no prejudice against trying to merge articles once the AFD is over. That's more of a content issue. Nfitz (talk) 05:56, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Procedural keep (reject and invalidate nomination). Deeply troubling that nominator has used the term "empty articles" in the original nomination, and twice in a subsequent comment. The concern is that it misrepresents the current state of not only one, but a bundle of articles nominated for deletion, and that it could easily mislead participants into believing that each of those articles is completely devoid of content and sources, which is not the case at all. This alone is sufficient reason to invalidate this nomination, IMO. In addition, the other two reasons given in the nomination – "unfinished" and "incomplete" – are not grounds for deletion; all Wikipedia articles are by definition works in progress. The subsequent comment of "haven't been edited in years" is also not grounds for deletion per WP:NEGLECT; and the comment "feel free to complete all of them" obviously flouts WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Strongly recommend that the nominator familiarize themselves with WP:Deletion policy and WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Cielquiparle (talk) 08:43, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - Per above. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 05:14, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep all - I oppose bundling this many articles into one discussion as it's almost impossible to have a constructive debate about each individual one so, to some extent, I'm looking for a procedural keep. There will be some coverage of 2013–14 ŠK Slovan Bratislava season, for example, since they won the league that season. In fact, definitely 'keep' for Slovan's 2013–14 season due to significant coverage in multiple reliable sources such as Webnoviny, which discusses at length their potential for a league and cup double, Teraz, from which I found several articles about Slovan's season and Dobrenoviny, which also discusses Slovan's title prospects and the further prospect of a record-breaking attendance in a crucial match.

I could only find one in-depth, independent, non-routine article (and it was by searching his name in Japanese), so for now it appears that he doesn't meet GNG – maybe someone with better knowledge of Japanese can find more. Either way, his recent F4 title, affiliation to Honda and promotion to Super Formula Lights (the step inmediately below Super Formula) suggest that WP:POTENTIAL for notability is high, so I think incubating in draftspace until more sources appear and/or he wins in SFL is the way to go here.

- Skathi (moon) (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)
Despite the GA status, this article is in my view artificially inflated by re-explaining common facts to all irregular natural satellites, e.g. origins (which is mostly a glorified "we don't know much"), or even worse, explaining common facts to all astronomical objects, e.g. orbital inclination and eccentricity. Once one removes this, there is precious little content that is actually specific to Skathi: simply discovery, naming, rotation period, and the specific orbital elements, which is only enough to fill a table row rather than a full article. (And even the naming story is shared with other moons.) There are no specific sources only about this moon and thus notability does not appear to be met; see also discussion at Talk:Moons of Jupiter#Should we stop creating articles for newly-discovered irregular moons? that makes the same point for almost all the irregular moons and found a broad consensus to redirect almost all of them. Propose redirection to Moons of Saturn#Skathi, which already gives the orbital elements and discovery year (LaundryPizza03 has already added name etymologies to the Uranus and Neptune moon articles, and presumably etymologies will similarly be added soon to the Jupiter and Saturn ones). Double sharp (talk) 15:16, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Withdrawn by nominator: I am not completely convinced by the evidence provided, but consensus is unanimously for keeping, so there's no point in having this run any further. Double sharp (talk) 07:04, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Astronomy-related deletion discussions. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 16:10, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: At issue is whether or not the page passes GNG as the subject of multiple in-depth reliable sources. This NASA page is fully devoted to Skathi and is called "Skathi In Depth". Two different books devote at least a few paragraphs to Skathi itself: the Solar System Moons book by Blunck and the chapter on Saturn's icy moons in Enceladus and the Icy Moons of Saturn; both are cited with page numbers in the article. The book by Blunck particularly singles out Skathi's naming as a distinguishing feature. Skathi also appears as a useful and distinct case, either for its name or its physical features, in a number of scientific articles and books. In these links its features are dealt with as a separate entity distinct from other objects, and things about it are deemed interesting or informative enough to mention it specifically by name (With varying levels of detail: 1 2 3 4 5). Also, as a simple heuristic for GNG, the page had a thorough GA review and all of the questions about it were answerable using the sources available. The circumstances of this page have always been strange (its view counts are still the subject of an open phabricator ticket), but all that matters is that the page passes GNG. - Astrophobe (talk) 16:26, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- The Blunck book (which I have) covers every single moon then known in the Solar System. Considering that consensus found most of them to be not notable enough, this does not by itself seem to be enough evidence (and besides, it talks more about the namesakes than about the moons). Similarly, such NASA pages exist for all the moons, and the sources presented are about irregulars in general, not Skathi specifically. Double sharp (talk) 16:30, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- The problem with discounting content related to the namesakes is that the naming of Skathi is probably its most important distinguishing feature, and the thing that reliable sources focus most on. This, and its usefulness (together with other objects in the same group) for testing theories about the formation of Saturn's moons, is probably the feature that its encyclopedic notability hinges on. - Astrophobe (talk) 16:32, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- But that is more naturally covered by our article on the namesake: Skaði herself. Likewise, the usefulness of the irregulars in testing theories on Solar System formation is more naturally covered by the main article irregular satellite. Your argumentation would suggest copying and pasting the exact same content over a bunch of almost identical articles, one for each moon; IMO, that would seem to be an inefficient organisation, not to mention a maintenance nightmare. Double sharp (talk) 16:36, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- That argument is about WP:OTHERSTUFF. The overall intellectual organization of Wikipedia writ large is not of issue at the deletion discussion for this specific page. What matters is that this page passes GNG. Incidentally, I think this is enough back-and-forth, and I'll make this my last reply for a while. - Astrophobe (talk) 16:40, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

- Keep and speedy close. Well sourced and a Good article. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:36, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- I do not agree with speedy-closing a nomination that other editors (at a different venue) agreed with. Especially when my argument is precisely that the sources are sourcing irrelevant content, coverage is not in depth, and that the article in my view should not be a GA. To paraphrase it in a more familiar context: this article is in my view kind of like writing a full article about one nondescript stop on a long railway that has gotten no coverage outside the railway as a whole. Sure it can look excellent if the railway is well-covered by RS and we spend a whole lot of paragraphs writing about the railway instead of the nondescript stop, but is notability truly demonstrated by this? Double sharp (talk) 16:38, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep as per comments by Astrophobe. There is verifiable information available on the topic that comes from verifiable, independent secondary sources, and the topic is far more than merely mentioned in these sources. Amitchell125 (talk) 17:00, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- In at least one of those sources (19) the extent of the topic's mention is literally one entry in a table. That is certainly not "far more than merely mentioned" and is in fact pretty much precisely what WP:NASTRO warns about:
Coverage must be specific and substantial: notability is not ensured just because an object is listed in a scientific paper or included in a large-scale astronomical survey. To establish notability, the astronomical object must have significant commentary in reliable sources, such as being one of the primary targets of a study with in-depth discussion (beyond discovery and basic parameters)
. On my phone now, will check the others later, but if memory serves it was similar. Double sharp (talk) 17:12, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

- Keep: it has enough sources to demonstrate notability. Moreover, I don't see what would be the benefit to Wikipedia in deleting this article.

Tercer (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- In my view the benefit would be that we avoid having an article on something RS have not covered in depth per WP:NASTRO, and most of whose non-data content is not about Skathi, but about irregular moons in general, or about Skaði the goddess. Double sharp (talk) 17:14, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

- WP:NASTRO 3 no? Ask me about air Cryogenic air (talk) 17:34, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, per WP:NASTRO, there is significant coverage about this object. It is one of the original 17 Norse moons and one of the 10 being given a name, some of which have articles of their own as well. Though I do agree that most of the references about this moon are just mere mentions of it. And by that reason I do not recommend this to be a GA article. Maybe lower it to B or C-class, perhaps? SkyFlubbler (talk) 17:58, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep I expected that removing small Saturnian moons that have nontrivial shape and size data would be controversial and possibly overzealous; the final decisions regarding the Saturnian moon articles were largely based only on size. For example, the light curves of the following moons were studied in Denk et al. (2018):[1] Phoebe, Kiviuq, Ijiraq, Paaliaq, Tarqeq, Siarnaq, Albiorix, Bebhionn, Erriapus, Tarvos, Narvi (moon), Bestla, Skathi, Skoll, Hyrrokkin, Greip, Suttungr, Thrymr, Mundilfari, Hati, Bergelmir, Kari, Loge, Ymir, and Fornjot. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 18:06, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep on the grounds that this is the kind of thing I expect to see when I open an encyclopedia. The topic is well-defined and conceptually separate enough to warrant a page of its own;; the claims are supported by references that appear reasonably trustworthy. The point that
such NASA pages exist for all the moons
is an argument to have articles about all the moons, not an argument to delete this one. It's not conclusive by itself, but it leans in that direction. XOR'easter (talk) 18:38, 7 January 2023 (UTC) - Keep: As the person who started the discussion of limiting the number of irregular moon articles, I'll give this one a pass. Yes, there is not a lot known about it, but it's still a relevant subject (as with many others) of Denk et al.'s ongoing work on the Saturnian irregulars' rotation periods and poles. Skathi is the first known example of an outlier of the Norse group;[16] even for multiple centuries, it remains on a relatively high inclination and is Saturn's closest retrograde irregular besides Phoebe.[17][[18] Although I did say I keep the largest 8 out of the 12 irregulars discovered in 2000, I didn't mean that authoritatively and it ended up being taken for granted unilaterally. I should have mentioned about having leeways in restricting articles, so I apologize for not making that clear beforehand. This article is well-written—calling it out for "glorifying" uncertainties and unknowns is a rather hyperbolic excuse. By your arguments for notability, that would mean deleting articles like 2010 FX86 and 2021 RR205. Nrco0e (talk) 18:44, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

- Keep: JSTOR issues and a need to over gender sterilize, as "they" almost confused me. The subject appears to be an author, did have co-authors (21 scholarly books and over 100 articles), and the article seems to not be in question that the subject is a male, married with children, and I have seen no evidence there is any gender questioning. If I am wrong the article needs to reflect that as a grave error. Being presented a Festschriften seems to be a milestone, even if some of the content does not reflect all major achievements, but does indicate peer reviews. However, the article states:
In 1981 he was appointed chairholder as a full professor of English linguistics and medieval English literature at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, and has been a professor emeritus since 2009.
Being a "chairholder" is not the same as being awarded a Named chair, but the notability criteria #5 states;The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.
If I or anyone else has issues with WP:NPROF, lacking any verifiable issues with the sentence, this is not the venue for discussion.

Keep- On the good faith assumption that the Report on the Census of Ceylon source provided by Dan arndt does verify that Umayartuvarankulam was, at least at one point in history, a legally recognised populated settlement. If Dan arndt has access to the source and can provide further information for the article (in particular, a population figure for 1921) that would help. If we can verify that the settlement was at one point legally recognised and populated (even if only in the past) then it passes WP:GEOLAND and should be presumed notable. I am also influenced by the fact Wikipedia suffers from systematic bias concerning places such as Umayartuvarankulam; in a case such as this we must consider the possibility that sources exist which are either not available online or not in English (or both). If we can verify that this is (or once was) a legally recognised populated settlement, then I think we can assume that reliable sources are likely to exist - even if we cannot find them right now. Keeping the article allows editors who might have better access to relevant sources to come across this article and improve it in the future.

Stats stub with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. My searches in Google News and DDG came back fruitless. 24 sports is just a basic contract renewal announcement, most of which is copied from his club's press release, so is not WP:IS.

Played 29 mins of professional football before moving down to the semi-pro leagues. I am unable to find any substantial coverage so struggling to see how this passes WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. In Arabic searches, the best sources I can find are Alyaum, a brief quote from him before a match with no third-party analysis, El Heddaf, a contract renewal announcement and Hasa News, a match report that mentions him once in the article as a goalscorer and once in the article title.

This article was initially created on 13 August 2021 by BakhtyarAziiz who would appear to be the subject of the article. It has then been re-created and speedily deleted a number of times without formal review. Perhaps there may be reliable sources in Arabic and the Kurdish languages to support the assertions made here?

This was tagged as WP:CSD#G11, which I am uncertain about (the article has citations, at least claims notability, and has existed in mainspace since December 11). Nonetheless, it is not a particularly great article.
Almost all of the citations are to self-published sources. The sources that aren't self-published are questionable; being listed on CoinMarketCap is of dubious notability, for example, as there are tens of thousands of tokens, coins and chains listed there. Others, like the citations to cosmos.network, have nothing to do with Decimal. I have been unable to find any reliable sources talking about this company. jp×g 08:40, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. At the risk of arguing with someone who otherwise largely agrees with my opinion on the article... having citations, claiming notability, and existing for a few weeks doesn't excuse an article from being deleted under G11. A7 requires a claim to significance, while G11 only cares about how promotional the article is, and it's very clear that this SPA-authored article is promotional. (It was worse before I removed a large unencyclopedic "features and functions" list.) In any case, the citations are indeed garbage and I located no significant reliable coverage outside of that. I don't speak Russian so can't search for sources in Russian, but on the other hand, frankly I wouldn't trust a Russian source on cryptocurrency as far as I could throw it. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 08:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

I was looking at this as part of writing a blurb for the featured picture which accompanies the article, and as far as I could tell there's a lack of significant coverage of this console, I couldn't really find any sources on which to construct a complete article. Many of the sources that are in the page currently don't really refer to this particular console, more general info about famiclones, while those that do mention it directly such as [22] and [23] are just lists of games that work on the console and a passing mention.

Seems like a minor plot element, failing WP:GNG (SIGCOV). I can't even suggest a reasonable WP:ATD to redirect this to. The article is a pure plot summary, and its only redeeming quality is that it's referenced, but mentions in passing don't suffice to show notability. PS. Was prodded by User:Avilich , prod was removed by User:Spinningspark with "has entries in horror encyclopaedias". But the entry in The Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead, despite being two pages long, seems to be a pure plot summary, and that fails WP:NOTPLOT.

- Keep. I agree with Hellbus that discussion of plot in reliable sources is not the same as a Wikipedia editor's plot summary of the source work. The former adds to notability, the latter does not. The former tells us which plot elements reliable sources believe are significant. If that was all we had, that would still justify inclusion in Wikipedia (in some form), but when I deprodded the article I had much more to say on this than the nom's quote of my short edit summary would lead one to believe. I named a number of sources from which out-of-universe discussion can be extracted. You have to look for it, but it is there. Here are two quotes;
Together with Maharet's tapestry and the matrilineal family tree, the Talamasca provides a lineage, a coherent mythology,...
— Linda Badley, Writing Horror and the Body
In one sense or another, there are a number of anthropologists in the Mayfair trilogy. I wish to concentrate briefly , however, on the Talamasca, Ashlar, and Rowan Mayfair. These three provide sufficient examples to establish Rice's anthropological sensibility.

While the event is certainly tragic and has received wide coverage in the immediate aftermath, this article fails WP:NOTNEWS as a single event that has no established enduring notability. — CR4ZE (T • C) 05:23, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

- A very ridiculous tag to add to the article. It will have large implications on future helicopter safety in Australia and internationally. Per item 2 in NOTNEWS, It is not routine for helicopters to fatally crash into each other let alone in the tourism capital of Australia. There is large public interest and they have the right to be informed. The tag has been removed. Canolanext (talk) 16:03, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. Passes WP:GNG & WP:COVERAGE with many reliable sources cited, some from major non-local news sites (CNA from Singapore[25] and BBC from UK[26] are 2 examples), thus passing WP:GEOSCOPE. Talking about lasting impacts, per WP:LASTING, "It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable." Besides, considering the nature of the collision (which took place when one heli was departing and one was landing), this event is likely going to result in recommendations or changes to how to avoid such future collisions. I would suggest that the article be nominated again after the final report by ATSB is published, should it be found to be non-notable. SBS6577P (talk) 23:53, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Topics on aviation accidents, however, seemingly insignificant are likely to contribute to the body of knowledge on aviation. Wikipedia has many articles covering aviation incidents. For example, the article 2015 Villa Castelli mid-air collision covers a similar incident. The article does not meet the criteria for deletion. The assertion that the article lacks notability should be rejected for the following reasons:
- The article describes a high-level aviation accident. I would agree that the article is not notable if the topic was on the pilot but this is not the case.
- A report on the incident is being produced so knowledge is likely to persist (even after publicity on the accident itself fades over time).
- The information is independently verifiable.
- There is likely to be significant new facts about the topic so the article is likely to emerge beyond a stub article.
- Keep. This event has global significance in the aviation industry as mid-air collisions of two helicopters are exceedingly rare, especially since the two helicopters were not formation flying (the 2015 Villa Castelli mid-air collision and 2019 Ménaka mid-air collision involved helicopters flying in formation). Stuart hc (talk) 01:27, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Hrbm14 (talk) 01:34, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- An alternative is to merge the content into an existing article. This should also be rejected for the following reasons:
- The accident has many sub-topics and factors and so merits its own article to mention these factors.
Hrbm14 (talk) 01:34, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - The rationale provided for deleting this article is quite frankly ridiculous. There are innumerable articles on Wikipedia detailing similar tragedies, and this one in particular has national significance for Australia (it didn't just "make the news", but has indeed been a major news item broadcast across the entire country, particularly in light of two other recent tragedies that have occurred almost immediately beforehand; all three of these tragedies have occurred in the same state, Queensland). This tragedy also in particular has significant implications for aviation safety in Australia, which alone makes it notable enough to warrant its own article. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 02:04, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- To clarify, the other two recent tragedies in Queensland are (1) cop killers and (2) a fatal home invasion. These sorts of events are pretty common in a country like the United States, but they are rare in Australia. These two, along with the helicopter collision, have caused something of a crisis here in Australia. The entire nation is shocked, and major reforms are being carried out or planned in response to these three tragedies. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 09:37, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - There are many articles on wikipedia detailing aviation accidents of similar magnitude. This one is no different and should be kept. I don't feel like this is WP:NotNews because it is very likely that this tragedy has major impacts and may change and improve aviation safety in the future and it is a Major crash that has impacted Australia hard and there are many sources on it. PatrickChiao (talk) 02:44, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

- Comment. A lot of the keep votes claim that notability is (probably) in the offing. That's not a valid reason, just speculation. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:12, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Appeals to WP:EVENTCRIT#2 are perfectly valid... what are you talking about? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 21:20, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep at this time. There is WP:INDEPTH coverage from a diverse set of independent, reliable sources. The scope of the event is of (at minimum) national importance. For those reasons, this satisfies WP:EVENTCRIT#2, meaning that the event is very likely to be notable. The coverage in the next few months will determine how WP:LASTING the coverage is, and I think it's more than reasonable to not delete the article so soon; I see ample reasons to presume notability, but rationales that this is affirmatively not notable are extremely weak. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 21:20, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - the comments that this is asingle event that has no established enduring notability is interesting, in view of the ramifications for transport safety, helicopter operations and air safety in Australia. I would think that a clear knowledge of the operations of the ATSB and its findings as to air safety/safety issues, and how they resolve events such as this one, will affect the operation of tourist oriented helicopter travel by this event for years to come, if not decades.JarrahTree 03:27, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

- Seeing as how this mostly dates from 2014 but the primary author appears to be still reasonably active and has been notified, I'm curious to see what is said. While I agree in principle that the scope is poorly defined and clearly too huge, the number of entries currently in the list appears relatively moderate. I'm not convinced that deletion is necessary, as scope redefinition or turning this into a list-of-lists are both reasonable potential fixes. Jclemens (talk) 05:02, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. The list is restricted to poems about which we have an article and, as such, is not excessively broad. The limitation of scope is not made sufficiently clear but it is referred to in the section heading List of Chinese poems (in Wikipedia). These types of navigational lists are explicitly catered for in WP:CSC and the overall topic is clearly notable. The list has accompanying information that cannot be handled in Category:Chinese poems and the relevant navbox Template:Chinese poetry is kept from being monstrous by linking to this list rather than to the individual poems. All this seems to have been carefully developed and is entirely appropriate. Thincat (talk) 12:06, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- About: I always thought that an article "List of poems in Chinese or by Chinese poets" would be too unwieldy and difficult to maintain as an encyclopedic article as anything reasonably complete. Maybe an AI could do it. Just as we don't see article such as "List of poems in French or by French poets" or "List of poems in English or by English poets" a list of poems in Chinese or by Chinese poets would be difficult for similar reasons, on top of going back even further in time (to many centuries BCE). Anyway, the immediate origin of the article is that I was doing a lot of work on Chinese poetry in 2014, and, in the process ended up starting this list article. Looking at the 14 categories for deletion at Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Reasons for deletion, it is hard to see that any of these 14 reasons for deletion apply. So, I see no reason whatsoever to delete the article based upon Wikipedia deletion policy. As a practical matter, this list could be useful to someone unfamiliar with Chinese poetry who wishes to find a few examples, so I lean towards keep. Dcattell (talk) 01:28, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Actually, thinking about it a bit more, I remember my primary reason for creating this list article back in 2014 was to clean up the Chinese poetry template, which was getting overburdened. I thought it useful to have some helpful examples of poetry in the navigation template at first, but this was becoming unwieldy over time. Dcattell (talk) 01:35, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Warning: Sorry about the rambling above. It's just that it's been about a half dozen years since I have thought about this much, either the template or the article. However, the "List of poems in Chinese or by Chinese poets" is written into Template:Chinese poetry. Deleting the article without re-writing the template will damage dozens of articles on Chinese poetry across en:Wikipedia article space, including some articles which are classified as being of high importance. "List of poems in Chinese or by Chinese poets" could use some improvement, however I am not going to do so in the face of impending deletion. Really, "List of poems in Chinese or by Chinese poets" should be improved to better represent examples of Chinese poetry. Simply using the article deletion process in this case would create a quite a mess! Deleting the article, and editing the template, and creating some other support for navigating to Chinese poems would be an option, and take a fair amount of work to do it right. So, no, it's not a good idea to just do an article deletion on "List of poems in Chinese or by Chinese poets". Not that it's a great example of an article as it stands!

- That's not a problem-the template can be edited to remove the link. Blythwood (talk) 09:02, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delete or just possibly split into separate articles - this is too big a topic for a list. Imagine an article titled "List of poems in the English language", and then multiply by the fact that China has always had a far larger population and has a far longer literary history than English does. Categories take care of this sort of thing better. Blythwood (talk) 09:02, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep The poems listed all have their own Wikipedia articles. A list is more useful than a category since it contains more information, making it easier for someone to navigate to something they want to read. Category:Lists of poems shows that how different types of poems have been split off so the main list doesn't get too long. Dream Focus 03:40, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar.". User:Jc37 suggested a merge to Olav Zipser , but IMHO the article is purely promotional, and the notability of Zipser is dubious (it just survived an AfD as no consensus).

Redirect to Olav Zipser. It can be AfD'd later and if found to be not notable, then they can both go. But, redirect appears to be the reasonable as we're apparently supposed to approach alternative to deletion. I'm hesistant to suggest redirect to a target when the relevance is questionable such as in the case of re-directing some small time personnel/company to an indisputably notable target whose connection with the article company/person in question is very tangential. In this case, the two are closely inter-related so I vote re-direct. Graywalls (talk) 00:51, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Zipser is known and respected around the world by pretty much every freeflying skydiver alive, as the ‘Father of FreeFly’.
It would not be possible to talk about the history of freeflying without mentioning Zipser, and not possible to completely 'de-Zipserize' the freeflying article (as suggested above) as Zipser is undisputedly recognised in skydiving circles around the world, as the founder of freeflying.
The First School of Modern SkyFlying is exactly that, it was 'the first' - since it existed there are now hundreds of freefly instructors and schools around the world, as well as wind tunnels and wind tunnel coaches teaching freeflying.
The First School of Modern SkyFlying does not exist as a business to be promoted, so the article is historical so cannot be promotional, other than to the sport of skydiving and freeflying itself as an activity.
The same is true of the Space Games, it is part of the history of the development of freeflying. The last Space Games was held in 2006. So again, this article cannot be considered promotional, other than to the sport of skydiving and freeflying itself as an activity.
With all due respect, I feel that these articles would be best edited (or decided on) by Wikipedians with skydiving knowledge and experience, as this is a non-mainstream activity, with Zipser being very much a significant part of freefly history and development.
As per Wikipedias notability guidelines… Zipser, certainly in skydiving history and circles, is "worthy of notice", “remarkable", "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded”
The equivalent of a PhD in sporting terms would be the Sports Emmy Award, which he received.
There is a solid reference on the official Fédération aéronautique internationale website - the world governing body for air sports
https://www.fai.org/page/isc-artistic-events
As mentioned before in a previous [discussion] for the Olav Zipser article. Skydiving and freeflying are fringe sports / not main stream activities. Whilst the sports themselves are often mentioned in mainstream media (normally only when there is an accident or death though), the pioneers and champions famous within the sports are generally only featured in skydiving and parachuting specific publications and websites. Rarely is main stream media interested in the individuals behind the sport that are 'famous' within the sport like with main stream spectator sports like football.

- Delete unless the article sees significant improvement. Even in the major metropolitan global cities where we do commonly (but not consistently, for reasons I'm about to explain) accept municipal council politicians as notable, the inclusion bar still isn't "instant inclusion freebie because population, regardless of any sourcing problems", and still requires the article to actually contain substantive content about the person's political impact (specific things he did in office, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his term in office had on the development of the city, etc.) supported by reliable source coverage in real media.

- The number of people who do or don't reside in the constituency or ward that a politician represents is irrelevant. What makes state legislators notable enough for Wikipedia is not the population of their district, but the fact that they all have an equal voice in passing statewide laws regardless of the population of each individual district — so the fact that a city councillor may happen to represent a comparable or greater number of voters than a state legislator does has nothing to do with anything, because the population of a state legislator's constituency has nothing to do with the state legislator's notability either. The notability of a city councillor hinges on writing a substantive article about his political significance that's supported by GNG-worthy reliable sourcing, not on how many people do or don't live in his ward.

For a user on a website that's not really that popular, I don't think Griffpatch fits the topic for a Wikipedia article. Even though he's the most followed user on Scratch, he doesn't seem to be notable enough. I searched for him and he only appears on 1 news website which is in French and the news article only talks about how to play Paper Minecraft. https://astucejeuxps4.com/quest-ce-que-paper-minecraft-guides-de-jeu-professionnels/ However, Griffpatch is mentioned in a few books: https://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22Griffpatch%22+-wikipedia
The refs in the article aren't reliable as well, as most of them are taken from Google search, Twitter, Fandom.com, and ScratchStats. Searching up "Griffpatch" using search only shows his Scratch account and Youtube account. Searching down more just seemed to show more user-generated stuff. I'll admit that Griffpatch is a really epic Scratcher, but he doesn't really seem notable enough to be a Wikipedia article. But what do you guys think? 🦁⋆JennilyW♡🦌 (talk) 01:28, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

- Keep But his projects have been embedded in many websites outside of scratch, and so surely that must make him notable enough. Also, scratch stats is an accurate source since it pulls data directly from the scratch API and Twitter was only a source for the fact he lived in York, England, and the only time a fandom page was referenced, another page was also referenced. No references are from Google searches as someone else claimed. This probably means nothing, but there is a definition of him in the urban dictionary and a subredit dedicated to him. As I say this probably means nothing but it might help argue that he's more notable and well-known. I don't really understand how him not appearing on any news sites means anything. There are many Wikipedia articles about things never mentioned on a news site. When googling "who is griffpatch?", the following pages appeared;

TheManInTheBlackHat (Talk) 19:42, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for providing that link. Would Twitter still be a reliable source though since the information being referenced was provided to Twitter by the subject of the article? Just to clarify, the links I posted above were just trying to show that griffpatch is significant. JennilyW, you said "for a use on a site that's not very popular". I'm not quite sure how it's not popular since it has its own Wikipedia page and has over 90 million users according to its Wikipedia page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Utter Donkey (talk • contribs) 22:24, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, Scratch has over 90 million users, but it's not popular enough for any of its users to gain notability outside of Scratch. 🦁⋆JennilyW♡🦌 (talk) 22:56, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
Well it surely must be since he is mentioned in the articles I have linked previously. (I know because they are user-generated, they cannot be used as references or sources, but I'm simply using them to help my argument.) Also, doesn't the fact that people have already tried to create Wikipedia articles about him also show he has some notability? I'm sure many people have tried to find him on Wikipedia and a small amount of those people, maybe even only 1 or 2, have tried to make a Wikipedia page about him. If a decent amount of people are trying to find a Wikipedia article, does that not make them notable enough to have one? (this is purley speculation, please correct me if I'm wrong). Personally, I think a platform with 90 million users is popular enough but my opinion is not the only one that matters. He is also known outside of scratch though, for example his games have been shared outside of scratch to many external websites and he's gained a decent amount of subscribers on YouTube and members of his discord server.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Utter Donkey (talk • contribs) 23:28, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Even if he had a page on Wikipeida before, they were still deleted. If those old articles were deleted, then that means that he doesn't have enough notability. Wikipedia articles have guidelines in order for them to actually be a article and not to get deleted. If Griffpatch is notable, but doesn't meet the guidelines for a Wikipeida article, then he shouldn't be a such topic for an article. And even if he is known outside Scratch, Griffpatch still needs to follow the notability guideline. For more info check Wikipedia:Notability. 🦁⋆JennilyW♡🦌 (talk) 01:34, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

- Then let me quote what Clash has to say about this: "Debut album ‘Let Her Burn’ is out next year, and it builds on a foundation of singles that have lit up the internet. Amassing an incredible selection of bops, Rebecca Black blends superb lyricism that display in full 360 with impeccable songwriting. It’s something to behold". In short, Black has what the source describes as "a colossal online audience" of which you were unaware. BD2412 T 03:34, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- I am not unaware of Black's "colossal online audience" as I suggested in the nomination itself, she was the singer of an internet phenomenon back in 2011 and has consistently released self published singles. Black's notability and her "colossal online audience", however, do not necessarily inherit their notability. The album is yet to be considered notable. It may be or it may not be. The currently available sources can't tell, as I have said before, it will have lasting notability. Bedivere (talk) 05:39, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- I have to add that both singles "Crumbs" and "Look at you" have failed to appear in Billboard charts. Her last appearance was ten years ago with the "Friday" follow-up "Saturday". [28] Her "colossal online audience" has not made her "Let Her Burn" singles popular. Bedivere (talk) 06:00, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- WP:NALBUM lists several different routes by which an album can be deemed notable. Having songs chart is one of them, but not the only one. If you are concerned that Clash magazine is mistaken in evaluating the likely popularity of this album based on the performer's fanbase, please feel free to call them up and tell them they have gotten it wrong and should retract the story. If you are able to get them to do so, I will withdraw my !vote in this discussion. BD2412 T 04:22, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- It is not my duty nor is in my interests to mail a magazine and try to convince them to overturn their own, legitimate story. BD2412, we do not have to agree on this one and while it is pretty obvious this is going to be kept, I do not think it is notable enough to merit its own article. But whatever, I may be wrong as well. Bedivere (talk) 23:07, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- I have just added another source to the article (bringing the total up to 21), and note that this album is now on four different "most anticipated" lists (Queerty, Them, PopSugar, and DIY). To add another quote from one of these, the Them article says: "Nobody is as surprised as me that the singer of 2011's viral hit "Friday" is not only releasing her debut album in 2023, but that it's fucking good". Of course, tastes may vary, but the proposition that there is any chance that this album will be non-notable has, at this point, been washed away by WP:HEY. Given the buildup provided by these sources tapping the album as an anticipated hit, if it fails to register as such at this point it will be notable as a failure. The critical reception of the two songs already released does, however, tend to indicate that the album will be a notable success rather than a notable failure. BD2412 T 05:49, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

[28] Her "colossal online audience" has not made her "Let Her Burn" singles popular. Bedivere (talk) 06:00, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- I am not unaware of Black's "colossal online audience" as I suggested in the nomination itself, she was the singer of an internet phenomenon back in 2011 and has consistently released self published singles. Black's notability and her "colossal online audience", however, do not necessarily inherit their notability. The album is yet to be considered notable. It may be or it may not be. The currently available sources can't tell, as I have said before, it will have lasting notability. Bedivere (talk) 05:39, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Then let me quote what Clash has to say about this: "Debut album ‘Let Her Burn’ is out next year, and it builds on a foundation of singles that have lit up the internet. Amassing an incredible selection of bops, Rebecca Black blends superb lyricism that display in full 360 with impeccable songwriting. It’s something to behold". In short, Black has what the source describes as "a colossal online audience" of which you were unaware. BD2412 T 03:34, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Can you show me where in the WP:GNG there is a requirement to use "RS that I recognize"? I see no credible argument that Queerty (not "Queerly") and BrooklynVegan are not reliable sources for this purpose, and even if they were not, the PopSugar listing here is clearly reliable and sufficiently in-depth, and the DIY source fairly strongly supports that as well. BD2412 T 02:10, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Easy keep: as BD2412 said above, the prerelease coverage in this article is plenty enough already. As for Oaktree claiming that "most" of the sources are from Queerty and BrooklynVegan, there are currently 13 references on page and only one each of those are from those sites, and those sites are both reliable anyway. And the rest of the sites are all independent coverage, with at least four being listed at WP:RSMUSIC so that's already enough for an easy pass. QuietHere (talk) 08:15, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Enough sources talking about the album, and it'll probably only increase. Ss112 12:21, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - The article's creators may have jumped the gun, but the album is now about a month away and easily has enough reliable coverage as an upcoming release by a known musician. The nominator's use (several times) of the term of "lasting notability" is curious; depending on the intention that term either contradicts WP:NTEMP or reflects a personal opinion about the musician's history. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:14, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Rebecca Black per WP:TOOSOON. I am looking through the sources and most seem to parrot each other almost word for word. While Rebecca is talked about in depth (she is notable hence her article), little is mentioned about this album other than its upcoming release date. This can easily be summarized under Rebecca Black#Career. We should wait until more information comes out about the album itself in the form of reviews. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:02, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Knowledgekid87: Can you provide some examples of sources that "parrot each other almost word for word"? I have read them all, and there are several quite distinct sources, even though they generally express a positive reception for the singles released thus far. BD2412 T 18:05, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- I will go through the sources...
- 1st - Mentions Rebecca's background, mentions the album's upcoming release, and then mentions a quote by Black.
- 2nd - Mentions the album's upcoming release and a quote by Black.
- 3rd - mentions Rebecca's background, mentions the album's upcoming release, mentions and focuses on her new single "Crumbs" (not the album itself), and a quote by Black.
- 4th - - mentions Rebecca's background, mentions the album's upcoming release, mentions and focuses on her new single "Crumbs" (not the album itself), and a quote by Black.
- 5th - Mentions the album's upcoming release.
- 6th - Mentions "Five of the most anticipated queer albums" by Charlie Grey. [29] (No information given there about the author).
- I will go through the sources...

- This just goes through the first six, talking about her singles isn't the same as talking about her album. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:17, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- The singles are songs on the album. How else would an album be discussed other than by talking about the songs that are on it? Moreover, how could we have any articles on upcoming albums without this being the locus of coverage (see, e.g., Gloria (Sam Smith album), Electrophonic Chronic, Endless Summer Vacation). BD2412 T 18:25, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Now we are straying into WP:OSE. Your first example has a section about "Background and recording", and has articles for the singles involved to shift the focus to the album's overall content. Your second example has passing mentions of the singles used there with the main focus being about the album. Your third example of "Flowers" is mentioned only twice in the article with information geared towards the album itself. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:35, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- I wouldn't object to an article about Crumbs (Rebecca Black song). - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:39, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- To be clear here, my opinion isn't to delete. Someone can and should userfy or draft this article until more comes out about her album, I mean why the rush? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:54, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Re: "why the rush?"; yes, there is no deadline, but there is also no reason to keep content sitting in a draft when it is sufficient for mainspace. Right now we have over 50 articles on "upcoming" albums, most with release dates later than this one, which reflects our typical practice in covering upcoming album releases notable enough to receive coverage in sources. Yes, WP:OSE, but WP:Some stuff exists for a reason. This article received over 800 page views in the firts two days after it was published; clearly this serves those readers. BD2412 T 17:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. The album has received coverage in a large number of news sources, including many known to WikiProject Albums to be reliable. Those news sources are providing significant coverage, covering the album beyond parroting a press release, especially the Paper and Uproxx articles. The article clearly establishes its subject's notability without needing to speculate unverifiaby. I don't think we would gain anything by moving its contents into Rebecca Black, and the article is very likely to have potential for expansion soon.
- Keep - There's already enough sourcing and the album isn't even out yet. I wish editors wouldn't waste the community's time with nominations like this. Sergecross73 msg me 01:24, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep This clearly meets the WP:GNG Lightburst (talk) 00:43, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. This album is anticipated and will get expanded such as the track listing and reception and performance so this should be kept — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinah5667 (talk • contribs) 00:46, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Enough sourcing exists for the album to meet our notability guidelines. BD2412 is correct. Bruxton (talk) 14:57, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- If you want to delete just because she sang Friday and that it would be "embarrassing" to Wikipedia i'm pretty disappointed. Dinah5667 (talk) 22:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

- Dinah's comment was about the deficient reasoning in your nomination and was not a personal attack. Also, WP:NOTAFORUM very clearly says to keep discussions out of the main articles and do them on talk pages instead. This and all other AfD's are discussions in which the community builds consensus, so this IS a forum. You will have to accept the fact that people disagree with you. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:24, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- You are incorrect. Dinah's comment falsely assumes me and the other delete voter are leading Wikipedia to an embarrassment because we supposedly want deletion "just because she sang Friday". While I do mention Friday in my nomination, it is only as context, and does not imply that is the reason for deletion. NOTAFORUM also means discussion should remain on topic. Making such comments (which they reiterated more personally on the article talk page, if you didn't see it) do not help at all. Regarding your last comment, it is unnecessary and out of place. Had you read my reply above to BD, you would not have said such a thing in the first place. Bedivere (talk) 04:48, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
- I could argue about whether I'm "incorrect", but this discussion should be about an album that is clearly notable, and your reactions to criticism aren't making your nomination any more logical. I'll sign off with a friendly recommendation to expand your perception of what a "forum" is. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:35, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

- Keep Just looking at the sources currently used, like Paper (magazine), DIY (magazine), Billboard (magazine), Rolling Stone (magazine), Entertainment Weekly, The Sydney Morning Herald, NME, and others, I'd say this is definitely notable enough to keep. I have to thoroughly disagree with the OP and Oaktree b who strangely dismissed Queerly and the Brooklyn Vegan, because they were "unsure" if they were unreliable sources, and dismissed the article entirely because there wasn't "any sort of critical discussion in RS that I recognize." Such a view is relatively limiting. I also have to disagree with the argument by Knowledgekid87 that this should be a redirect. I would say there is enough there for this to be a page at the present time. Otherwise, I have to agree with the other arguments in this discussion to keep this page.Historyday01 (talk) 18:33, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

- SpinningSpark 22:14, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hmmm... is it worthwhile to merge with Education in South Africa?
- DarklitShadow (talk) 22:54, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - This needs cleanup but I think there are enough sources to pass GNG. On top of those provided already, I have also found this article from Educational Studies in Mathematics and this (both by the same author and I think reporting the same/a similar study). Ideally I would like to find additional sources but this is, as Spinningspark notes, an important part of the South African education system, for which additional reliable sources likely exist; we shouldn't ignore that fact that due to systematic bias they may be more difficult to find.
