Fails WP:NFOOTY, as he has apparently never played in a top-tier league. No indications of notability; I'm barely able to verify he exists. Primefac (talk) 21:25, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I declined a speedy deletion request for this as I gave it the benefit of the doubt around "professional footballer". NFOOTY states that he has to have played for a professional side in a professional match, there is no evidence that is the case. I can only find evidence that he was once able to purchase champions league tickets for Steaua Bucharest. His name would appear to be Adrian Main-Keesy as that is what the one ref on the page calls him. He is not covered in third-party reliable sources and as such should be deleted.

  • Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:36, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keesy Adrian Main is a football player in the current squad with number 17 name= Adrian Keesy.
In Dutch the first names are written first. But in Romanian language the surnames are written first, for that reason, Main is not mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Football Europe (talkcontribs) 11:22, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Football Europe, in a deletion discussion you only get one vote. You can't just keep voting "keep" in some sort of attempt to fool the closing admins that there are more parties interested. As for removing information - it was incredibly promotional. Phrases like He is also an excellent passer and he creates space with a solid first-touch and a general lack of sourcing leads me to conclude you were/are just trying to promote Main. Now, add some sourcing and it'll be a different story altogether. Primefac (talk) 16:09, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Primefac, Thanks for your advice. I have modified the text. I have also added references. What should I do to fix my article and not be deleted? May I change the title of Adrian Main in Adrian Keesy Main (footballer, born 1993). Then it becomes better recognized. Thanks in advance for your response! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Football Europe (talkcontribs) 17:32, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete The only fully professional league in Romania is Liga I. He plays on a Liga III team, which would be even lower ranked than Liga II, which is not even enough to be considered notable. So he does not qualify under normal football inclusion rules. The articles connected to are not about Main, but only mention him briesfly in passing in covering matches. This is far too little to establish notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:55, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sc Bacau is a football club with tradition for years in league I. When Adrian Keesy signed, the football club was still in league II.

He has a contract for professional footballer. Due to financial problems, they are now temporarily in league III. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Football Europe (talkcontribs) 17:47, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails GNG. South Nashua (talk) 23:50, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as this is a degree-awarding vocational higher secondary institution, and articles on such institutions have been generally kept provided they are verifiable (WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES). This ITI is listed in the official list of government approved ITIs, so verifiabilty, at least, is not an issue. For nontrivial coverage, see this article in the Dainik Bhaskar, or this one in Amar Ujala. I'm sure more such articles can be found (e.g., search for the name of the institution in Hindi -- "आईटीआई पंचकूला", or literally, ITI Panchkula). — Stringy Acid (talk) 19:22, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The news articles mentioned are about the lack of a canteen and enrolment. Hardly newsworthy and not enough to merit a Wikipedia entry. Also, another main issue with the page is the lack of any independent sources with which to verify, apart from an entry in a directory. There is no 'significant independent coverage or recognition' Thus, it clearly fails WP:NRV David.moreno72 08:37, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • contest the nomination "Contest this speedy deletion". This my first Wikipedia article and I have been slow to understand the format and the method (coding) for referencing in particular. I have followed through and imbedded references through the article and feel confident the references support Little Joe McLerran's article a place on Wikipedia. For one he was the first place winner of the prestigious "IBC" solo-duo blues challenge award in 2009. Second he was the leader of the first band to EVER perform a public concert in Saudi Arabia (2010) and thirdly Little Joe was inducted into the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame in 2013. I welcome all comments and suggestions that might improve this article. Thank you,Robmclerran (talk) 19:37, 26 April 2017 (UTC)Robmclerran[reply]
  • Keep The article is very poor (no offence to its author), but that's not a reason for deletion. But, the subject might pass WP:MUSICBIO on points #4 (national concert tour in a soveriegn country, covered by The Wall Street Journal), and #9 (won a major award- International Blues Festival?). Needs a helluva lot of work to reduce it down to reliably sourced material, per WP:BLP, but that can probably be done... — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 15:05, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per O Fortuna (normally wouldn't bother, but adding my voice since this is a poorly attended AFD). The references provided, and the WSJ article in particular, are sufficient to establish notability. The article continues to need some work, but thanks to the creator for taking the time to create it. Martinp (talk) 01:18, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Having the article at this stage in the film's development is pretty much a non-starter for the Film Project's policies and guidelines (see WP:NFF).

  • A look at the ship's article on the Finnish Wikipedia reveals quite a bit of content that could be translated into English, as well plenty of valid, reliable sources, although most of them seem to focus on one event in the history of the vessel. This extensive document from the Swedish Accident Investigation Board details a fire aboard the ship in 2008 that forced the evacuation of passengers by helicopter, an event that appears to have been widely covered in Finnish and Swedish news (and in English, to a lesser extent; a quick glance shows articles in USA Today, The London Evening Standard, and others). I wouldn't suggest that such a minor incident is enough to confer notability by itself, but the vessel has been in service for 45 years under several different names, and was the SeaWind Line's first (and last) ship. I consider it very likely that the ship has received other coverage in non-English sources over the decades, though I can't immediately prove it, so I'll be withholding a keep vote until someone else can. – Juliancolton | Talk 03:15, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable subject has been tagged with notability tag since July 2016. Currently has three references mostly from trade publications. Claims that subject has had positions at foxnews and others are likely just self-written bio information probably written by subject himself. Would need independent references to claim holding positions at said news outlets. Nevertheless, notability is not inherited from any news organization that he might or might not have contributed to.

I have concerns here that media journalists who are associated with non-MSM are facing a bias because the sources that we count as notable are main-stream. And the point that notability is not drawn from the news organisation you belong to is debatable. As an viewer external to the American situation, I feel that this point needs to be debated.

This list has been split off from the main article at List of festivals in the Philippines. It is useful to organise them by area, but since the original article was mainly full of non-notable (redlinked) festivals, this list on its own has few inclusion-worthy events. Most of it rehashes this and similar calendars.

  • Strong Keep - Not due to Knight's Cross (which is debatable in significance - not going there), but due to his status as a Flying ace with 81 claimed kills. As you can see in List of World War II flying aces - flyers with a much smaller kill count have articles - with the notability being their kill count and nothing else. Being an aerial ace (with a significant count for a particular conflict - 5 would be borderline for WWII, but would confer significance in any other conflict - 81 is clearly significant for WWII - only German pilots (+1 Finnish) acheived this high a count (to be fair the Luftwaffe flew pilots until they died - not retiring them to command or training)). Icewhiz (talk) 09:37, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Several google-books hits (In addition to the ones in the article itself) - [10]. To put 81 kills in perspective - a Aviation regiment (Soviet Union) had around 60 fighters - this is a significant achievement in terms of material and personnel damage (destroying a regiment), meeting SOLDIER(4) - "Played an important role in a significant military event such as a major battle or campaign".Icewhiz (talk) 12:50, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or redirect -- Successful completion of missions (X enemy planes shot down, Y "tank kills" etc) is not part of WP:SOLDIER. Germany had over 100 pilots who claimed more than 100 aircraft shot down, so the achievement of the subject of the article is not remarkable. Overall, German pilots of WWII claimed 70,000 Allied aircraft destroyed. The claim numbers for individual pilots are not significant in the grand scheme of things, as the Allies were producing aircraft and training new pilots at a much higher rate than the Germans could destroy them.
In any case, if the claim is that being an ace = "Played an important role in a significant military event such as a major battle or campaign", then it should be easy to demonstrate the coverage of this event. What I see are passing mentions.
Separately, the absence of a de.wiki article is strongly suggestive of a lack of notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 15:28, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If you delete german fighter pilots with less than 100 kills, you will have to delete every allied pilot, who did not receive top award honors, as well as every ace from every other war... and there are several. I actually agree with the deletion of many knight cross reciepents, but you took too broad an axe here disregarding notability on other grounds while incidentally leaving in less significant soldiers, including aces, which didn't recieve the knight cross. There are several books and articles on fighter acss leading to sigcov, and the military impact here is beyond just "Doing a job". An ace who shot down more than 80 aircraft took out more than a regiment, single handedly. In modern dollar terms, on the current 100 miliion dollar fighter jets, this is 8 billion dollars in just material damage, disregarding the effect in the air war.Icewhiz (talk) 17:48, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So far, these have been arguments along the lines of it's important & other stuff exists, which are generally discounted in deletion discussion. If the subject of this AfD has indeed "played an important part in a major battle or campaign", then this should be easy to demonstrate via significant coverage in reliable sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:34, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So far the argument for delete has been based on him being on a knight's cross list - to which you took an axe (and I agree in part to your action - but you've cut off some articles that are notable besides the knight cross!). He is on Japanese and Portoguese wikis. The article is supported by a non-short biblography - not all of which I have available, and I assume you don't as well. A quick google-books search shows some hits, e.g. - [11] (and his autographs do sell on ebay - so someone is paying), [12], [13], [14] - and several others. As you should know - not everything is searchable online easily - some of biblo in the article is not easy to acquire. Beyond SIGCOV - which may exist (as per google-hits, and amount of google images, memorabilia sold with his name), he simply meets SOLDIER(4) - "Played an important role in a significant military event such as a major battle or campaign". He is on - [15] - with a high count, and has destroyed a regiment equivalent number of aircraft. A soldier that is responsible for the destruction of a regiment of opposition forces clearly meets SOLDIER(4).Icewhiz (talk) 20:03, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
None of these offer significant coverage, and the argument that there's memorabilia sold with his name is not relevant to the discussion. My contention is that significant RS coverage on the subject does not exists. The matter of Knight's Cross winners and Luftwaffe fighter pilots is a matter of some discussion on de.wiki, where the community has arrived at consensus that indeed such coverage does not exist.
To quite from the Featured List nomination discussion re a list of Luftwaffe fighter pilots: "The author is not to be criticized for the fact that no scientific literature has been used, because there are none. Serious military historians are concerned with other things." (Dass keine wissenschaftliche Literatur verwendet wurde, ist dem Autor nicht vorzuwerfen, denn es gibt keine...) Etc. The nomination was quick failed:link. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:43, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You are misquoting the German, as the discussion you are quoting from is for an expansion of the list of aircraft personnel to all knight-cross recipients - to 568 entries (which I agree would be excessive). Hugo Broch is on the un-expanded existing lists - [[16]], and is one of the very few without a full entry - which might be an oversight. Regarding significant contributions of individual soldiers - I agree indeed that this isn't usually "serious" military history. However - it is popular information that interests the general public - as is evedinced by books such as - [17] [18] [19]. 81 aircraft kills - definitely meets SOLDIER(4). Icewhiz (talk) 21:21, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
These are passing mentions (the first one being a line on a list), and are insufficient to build an NPOV biography of the subject. What we have here is WP:BIO1E situation -- only notable for the award of the Knight's Cross, and the community does not consider the latter to be a sufficient presumption of notability. The argument that an "ace" status makes someone notable by default in not included in the MilHist project's own guidance. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:32, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't gone through the entire bibol in the article - and I assume you haven't either - as it isn't online AFAIK. Regarding "ace" criteria - it doesn't need to be set out explicitly - as SOLDIER(4) already covers it. 81 aircraft kills - should be a no-brainer for notability. As you can see in listings here - List of Korean War flying aces, List of Vietnam War flying aces, as well as the existence of many articles in List of World War II flying aces with much smaller counts (and not ace of ace). It should be noted that some of the US WWII aces - were flying in conditions of complete or almost-complete air superiority - which led to easy kills - both over Europe, and vs. Japan - particularly from 1944 onwards. In the air war vs. Japan whereas early in the war the Japanese were arguably on-par technically (better maneuverability, but less armor and often speed/dive-climb) , towards the late war they were quite inferior technically (dominated in all aspects). Contrast Hugo Broch with sources and notability of US aces with much lower kill counts (and nothing particularly notable beyond the kill count): Bud Anderson, Charles R. Stimpson, Edward "Porky" Cragg, Eugene A. Valencia, Jr., Arthur Ray Hawkins - who are there solely because of their ace status (on around 15 kills).Icewhiz (talk) 22:01, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious retort. But in this case we are talking about fliers from the same war and notability. You even left in less notable German ww2 who did not receice the knights cross, as you chose to delete based on knight cross reception. While a knight cross might not make a soldiee notable by itself.... It does not confee non notability if notable on other grounds... In this case Soldier4 is met.Icewhiz (talk) 04:12, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep. Keeping in mind K.e.Coffman's MO (to delete German personnel), the deletion of this article serves no purpose. In fact, a good article can be made out of it as good sources exist. Further, the assertions made about the alleged inferiority to Soviet airmen has been hugely exaggerated. Training deficiencies were most pronounced in 1941, and 1942, but thereafter the gap rapidly closes. Also, the Soviets were never grossly inferior technically. Most of the war-winning generation of aircraft were entering service in June 1941. K.e.Coffman's claims that a NPOV article is not possible is entirely fictitious. Dapi89 (talk) 15:10, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. We have kept many articles on pilots with the bare minimum (five) of kills required to be an ace. If we delete an article on a pilot with 81 then we need to reassess all articles on aces. This requires an RfC, not just an AfD. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:17, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair - the delete (redirect) here did follow an RfC - on knight cross recipients - [20]. K.e.coffman then took out a very big axe (I suspect based on set criteria, including German wiki inclusion), and redirected a very large number of Knight Cross recipients - largely correctly.... However - when wielding a huge axe, you sometimes (though some were spared) chop away people notable for other reasons - in this case SOLDIER(4) due to kill counts as ace. While getting a knight's cross might not make a soldier notable in and of itself - receiving one (and not being on german wiki, and not reaching high enough rank / effective rcommand) - does not make a soldier un-notable.Icewhiz (talk) 15:43, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Based on the lack of significant coverage by reliable, independent sources. The bibliography features four titles on KC recipients (mainly the usual directories), one article from a popular special interest magazine, and one title Luftwaffe Fighter Aces. The latter features Broch in its appendices: "Hugo Broch* JG 54. TV 81 (all EF). CD EF Jan. 43. TS 324. SR 4.00". If this isn't about the KC, but about "aces", then the coverage is meagre, to say the least. It does not make sense to compare "counts" from different conflicts and different air forces. That's simply ahistorical. I also see no reason why fighter pilots should be entitled to a bonus of notability compared to other soldiers. It seems as if the notion of the lonely chivalrous fighter, i.e. the very image of the "ace", still dominates the imagination, but imagination does not supersede WP:GNG. --Assayer (talk) 01:22, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
comment: first of all fighter pilots were not lonely, they fought in teams. Secondly, your claim that it is Based on the lack of significant coverage by reliable, independent sources, is false and dishonest. Dapi89 (talk) 08:53, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As the literature on the "ace" does not fail to mention, the image of the lone "ace" survived long after air tactics had changed air combat into something that Eddie Rickenbacker has called "scientific murder". Why don't you just proceed to provide proof of that coverage in question instead of engaging into personal attacks?--Assayer (talk) 10:51, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Who says/said the ace was a lone hunter anyway? And why should we subscribe to this view? Do we subscribe to this view? I dont think we do. Who cares what Rickenbacker says or doesnt say about air combat? War isnt murder, and all war is scientific. You're just adding a series of pointless posts. Attack? Picking appart your argument is not an attack. I will get started on this soon, as your apparent deletion attempt has been rejected. Dapi89 (talk) 13:27, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I paraphrased The Oxford Companion to Military History (2001; 2004). "The men who flew the fighters became popular figures of mythic proportions, partly because of the sheer, romantic improbability of flight, but also because they seemed to have restored a element of single combat to the anonymous slaughter of modern war. Victory in the air was thought to be a matter of personal skill, heroism, and the luck of the brave - an image that survived long after air tactics had begun to acquire the characteristics of deadly routine." I also found the Rickenbacker quote there. I could provide further quotes from other historians, but I am sure that you rather subscribe to the myth than to the views of military historiography.--Assayer (talk) 15:03, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Again, a meaningless response to what it a very straight forward issue. They were called aces if they claimed to have destroyed five or more in aerial combat. Aces are notable. It doesn't really matter what historians say about the image of the ace or aerial combat because that isn't relevant. And this source wasn't written by aviation specialist anyway. I don't think you are familiar enough with academic literature on air power to lecture me. Resorting to to the Oxford Companion for support says as much. Out of interest, have you studied air power theory, history and practice at an academic level? Dapi89 (talk) 15:20, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am familiar enough with the academic literature on the history of air power to know that Peter Fritzsche's account of popular aviation culture in Germany is a respected study in the cultural history of air power. Interestingly enough you basically concede that "aces" were the creation of a specific stage of air war, mainly the first two years of WW I. Afterwards solo sorties were considered to be much too dangerous and group missions were carried out. Thus "airmen" were as much the products of industrial warfare as the masses of infantrymen on the ground. After WW I "aces" did have no strategic importance for air war. To borrow a phrase by Richard Overy, they were "schoolboy heroes". So it's up to you to demonstrate that Broch was so popular an "ace" that his explorations have been significantly covered by reliable secondary sources.--Assayer (talk) 22:39, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: to have achieved 81 aerial victories in combat is significant; with that said, it is concerning that the article is sorely lacking so much RS cited detail; certainly there should be information which can be found and used for coverage as to this pilot in order to provide readers with an article of substance. The lack of a German Wikipedia article is not the best indicator, as English Wikipedia has many more articles than any other one on multiple subjects. I don't write on Luftwaffe pilots (or tank commanders, for that matter), but it seems there should be coverage to be found for someone with 81 air victories'. Kierzek (talk) 13:08, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of World War II aces from Germany as lacking independent and non-inherited notability. Number of kills or ace status alone don't guarantee notability, and the only sources about this subject are mere confirmation of existence and victory number/Knight's Cross. No significant independent reliable sources in the article or above significantly about Broch instead of about large groups of contemporaries.

  • Comment Although WP:NEXIST could normally be presumed for someone with 81 air victories, the existence of (significant) coverage in reliable sources, beyond those already cited in the article, has been called into question. Examples of reliable sources beyond those already cited, with significant coverage of Broch, are needed in order to back up the Keep argument.

  • Note - added a RS book[1] on his autograph to the article - he's a prolific signer (as evidenced by primary sources (not in article) - [21] [[22] [23] [24] [25] [26] - and there are hundreds more (as he appeared in very many signing events + signed per mail order).Icewhiz (talk) 08:21, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

References

I'm failing to see prolific autograph signing as a criteria for notability. For example, we include Pete Rose on the basis of his accomplishments in his field and enormous coverage in secondary sources, not because he is the most prolific baseball autograph signer (a fact that only gains mention in passing connection to his criminal conviction). I suppose that having large numbers of autographs in circulation could be construed as an argument that the signer is popular but popularity is not notability so I don't think you are making that argument. Given the sources you found, it might be worth a mention on the Autograph page or somewhere related. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:22, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously this is marginally notable - wouldn't confer notability by itself - but is an indication that some people see some notability (as they are willing to pay for the autograph) - I added half a line (11 words) mentioning this to the article - which is marginal. But the book reference is an additional RS covering the subject (a few paragraphs there).Icewhiz (talk) 05:59, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- Pardon me, but I consider the statement he's a prolific signer, especially (as evidenced by primary sources) to be one of the more "credulity-stretching" arguments at AfD. I believe that such arguments should be discounted. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:53, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Have one's autograph turn an item into a collectible - shows that some people (collectors) view the subject as notable beyond a random scribble by some guy on the street. This isn't a strong claim - it is a weak claim - but it does provide evidence that he's considered notable by some other people.Icewhiz (talk) 05:59, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes; more than one of them (three) mentioned it. Or [27]. Many thanks! — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 12:33, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Of the three: In the first he is mentioned on just one page, in the second he is only present on two lists, and in the third it's really just a passing mention. This other book by Scutts is already cited on the article, with (apparently) only enough coverage to support one sentence. By no means is this WP:SIGCOV. Although whether offline sources exist with sigcov on Broch is up for debate. Alcherin (talk) 18:47, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that changing search terms to "Hugo Broch" + Luftwaffe, brings up other books. [28]. The main problem, of course, is how incomplete gBook searches are. But where there's smoke, there's.... That is, when you get mulitipe hits, there is usually more out there on pages excluded from the search and books that don't appear. But there does seem to be enough here to keep.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:03, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There's no significant coverage by reliable, independent sources. Arguing that he's an ace, and we have articles about other aces, is a classic example of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Being an ace doesn't mean the subject is notable enough to warrant an encyclopedia article. There's literally nothing else on this page except that he was a "prolific signer" and as K.e.coffman said, that's really stretching it. CrispyGlover (talk) 18:09, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I added a pair of recent news stories to article sourcing, one about Broch meeting with an American pilot, two old men revisiting a long-ago war, the other about collectors who buy items he signed, he is said to have done more memorabilia signing than the average ace. Keep as per User:Icewhiz's knowledgeable analysis above.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:43, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as meeting SOLDIER(4) in my book and User:Icewhiz's. I think the prolific autographing paints him in a negative light but that shouldn't be the reason to remove his notability. Ifnord (talk) 23:19, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. An unelected political candidate does not get a Wikipedia article just for the fact of being a candidate — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason besides his candidacy itself, then he must win the election, not merely run in it, to be considered notable because election per se. But this contains no sourcing, nor even any substance that suggests that a preexisting notability claim would even be possible. Bearcat (talk) 05:09, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Not only do I agree with the above comments, but a walk through the earliest versions of the article leaves me with the feeling that it's pretty much a hoax. NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:04, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Just for the record, since not everybody here is an admin who can actually see deleted revisions, the potential hoax that NewYorkActuary is talking about is that the original deleted iteration of this article was actually a copy-paste of Jeb Bush with only the name in the introduction changed — and even the current kept version started out that way too before being edited toward its current version. To be fair, the original creator might have been just trying to use Jeb as a template for how to format the article, so that fact doesn't definitively prove that the current version is still a hoax — but the sheer lack of sourceability here does mean that "it's still a hoax" isn't outside the range of possibilities. Bearcat (talk) 16:12, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As has been pointed out, although WP:NPOL says that politicians 'who have held... national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office are deemed notable; but, crucially, that this is also secondary to WP:GNG- it assumes that 'people who satisfy this criterion will almost always satisfy the primary criterion. Which the subject of this article does not; a WP:BEFORE search actually brings up only one source([31]), which hardly mentions him at all. Tha being the case, I am very tempted to also concur that we are being hoaxed that the name exists, but is not in the Indonesian legislature- otherwise why so little coverage? However, I also note that the article actually states that 'was a senatorial candidate'- and if only a candidate, then, per WP:POLOUTCOMES, 'candidates who ran but never were elected for a national legislature or other national office are not viewed as having inherent notability. Eitherway, fails WP:ANYBIO and [WP:NPOL]] by miles. — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 16:57, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable writer/social leader. Fails WP:GNG and is probably a vanity page. Created by a single purpose account, which probably belongs to a family member as an earlier revision even had pictures and details of family members. All the awards are non-notable as well. All references are self published (and dead links).

Most of his work appears to be in Italian, though there are English translations, and it seems that there was a book published in his honour in 1995, suggesting that he meets at least criteria 1 of WP:ACADEMIC ("The publication of an anniversary or memorial journal volume or a Festschrift dedicated to a particular person is usually enough to satisfy Criterion 1").

Comment: Pubmed https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Ferrada-Noli%20M%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=9479680 lists a few articles that seem to be in reputable journals not related to SWEDHR.Billlion (talk) 17:30, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep Ferrada de Noli has featured in a front page article in Dagens Nyheter along with other Swedish sources such as Aftonbladet, Expressen, Goteborg Posten, Metro, VK, Swedish News Agency TT, etc, etc. He is clearly notable outside pro-Russian media outlets. Guru Noel (talk) 12:15, 24 April 2017 (UTC) blocked sockpuppet. My very best wishes (talk) 17:16, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I want to expand on my AfD proposal above, to provide some context. It is clear that Professor Ferrada de Noli has some academic publications, and has written opinion pieces in newspapers related to his work. However, the volume and significance of his academic output over his career (he is now retired) do not rise to the notability standards established by WP:PROF. The only other potentially notable fact about him is the fact that he founded SWEDHR, an opinion website run by a group of six people with advanced academic degrees in very different fields that posts opinion pieces supportive of the Russian government's policy positions, and is in turn cited by pro-government Russian media (Sputnik, RT, etc) as external evidence for the rightness of Russian policy. The coverage in mainstream Swedish media focuses entirely on the confusion among Swedes at the prominence afforded in Russia to a supposedly Swedish organization that is unknown in Sweden. At the same time, SWEDHR is notable because it is founded by a supposedly notable academic, and Ferrada de Noli is notable because he founded SWEDHR, which is highly circular. If WP editors with experience in determining the notability of academics conclude that Prof. Ferrada de Noli's academic work is not sufficient for notability, then I propose that this page be deleted and any relevant information about him be folded into the SWEDHR page, which has already been rewritten to indicate that it is actually a propaganda organization.Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 23:54, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The "highly circular" argument above, which is presented by his author as a main reason for his AfD proposal, it is based on an utterly false premise. Namely, the article on Ferrada de Noli was created December 12, 2009 (meaning the time when WP assessed that the professor met the notability criteria), whereas SWEDHR was founded only in 2015. Ergo, the foundation of SWEDHR cannot possibly be the factor which has determined the professor's notability --already recognized in the 2009 assessments. Secondly, here emerges a serious contradiction: Just some days ago, in the discussion of the proposal for obtaining the deletion of the SWEDHR article, which user Gamesmaster G-9 supported, he declared, "The medical cites speak to the notability of Marcello Ferrada de Noli, the founder, and not to the organization (SWEDHR)". But here he argues exactly the opposite, that the very same medical cites do not speak for the notability of the professor… Hrdap (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:06, 25 April 2017 (UTC) --Hrdap (talk) 03:55, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • KeepWP:PROF lists nine criteria for academic notability, and says, "Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable". A review of the info and sources already published in the article reveals that Professor Marcello Ferrada de Noli has met at least five out of nine criteria of the WP:PROF list (1,2,4,5, and 7).
    • I have looked through the academic citations in the article, and they appear to be typical of any lifelong academic. Some unremarkable events, such as the offer of a visiting professorship, are being touted as achievements, when they are really quite common. In my view, his academic achievements to not meet the standards listed out in WP:PROF. It would be great if an editor experienced in editing pages of professors could offer an opinion here. Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 19:05, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless academic notability (which can be earned by having "any one" among the items in WP:PROF), Wikipedia also recognize notability regarding individuals that have participated in the foundation of a political party. The following data has been in the article for quite some years, and supported by three sources, two of which appear to be academic dissertations: "Marcello Ferrada de Noli was one of the founders of MIR, the Movement of the Revolutionary Left. MIR was a Chilean political party and former left-wing guerrilla organization (founded on October 12, 1965) prominent in the resistance to the Pinochet Dictatorship. Together with his old-time school friend Miguel Enríquez (died in combat 1974) and Marco A. Enríquez, Ferrada de Noli was an author of the Political-military Theses of MIR - known also as La Tesis Insurreccional - the first document of MIR approved in its foundation congress of 1965;[6][7][8] there he represented left-libertarian standpoints.

  • I would have no problem if the page is rewritten with a focus on his revolutionary past. As it stands now, it reads like the page of a professor and not of a radical activist.Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 19:05, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The article seems very biased. Very small achievements, like being a visiting professor or becoming emeritus professor (which is fairly standard for retiring professors in Sweden) at a very minor university, are listed as 'academic distinctions' or 'awards'. If the article is not deleted, it should be thoroughly revised.

Update: This article in French newspaper Le Figaro is a perfect example of the circularity problem I described above. In the article, the journalist speaks to Swedes who do not know who Ferrada de Noli is, and then has to use this Wikipedia page as a reference (In French: "According to his extremely long Wikipedia page, the man himself has had a very eclectic career"). In fact, this Wikipedia page is used as a defense by his supporters and Russian against accusations that he and his organization function purely as Western-based mouthpieces for Russian propaganda. In the most recent piece on his blog, Ferrada de Noli has lashed out against this ongoing AfD debate, and accused the editors who have recently made edits on this page and that of SWEDHR of "massive text decimation and the introduction of deceitful, and even racist-wise edits", and having the same "agenda" as the "fake news" (note the term) published by Dagens Nyheter (actually a respectable mainstream newspaper). Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 20:44, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... This is worse than I thought. Note that he appears on the image in your link under banner of RT (TV network), and we all know that "his" organization, Swedish Doctors for Human Rights (a misleading title) is actively engaged in propaganda/big lie efforts. This looks to me as misuse of WP not only for promotion, but also for propaganda. Now I am fully convinced this page should be deleted. My very best wishes (talk) 14:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment:I could argue with exactly the same allegation: "Based on their edits like [40], users 'My very best wishes' and 'Gamesmasterg9’ probably have a conflict of interests." Political interests in this case, as I show down below. (And Gamesmasterg9 is the author of the deletion proposal here after that the deletion of the SWEDHR article failed. ‘Conflict of interests?’). Beginning with ‘notability’: a) Main notability aspect in this article is the “pioneer” character of discoveries done by the professor, as judged by a mayor medical university. E.g. While working at Harvard Medical School, he was first in the research world that established the overrepresentation of immigrants in Sweden’s suicides. This discovery brought about changes in the social policies of Sweden. And there are other research discoveries listed in the article, sourced in international scientific journals. b) Gamesmasterg9: “As it stands now, it reads like the page of a professor”, as if Ferrada de Noli was not a professor, and in this case misrepresenting his professor title. Serious libel c) Then the absurd: “Le Figaro journalist speaks to Swedes who do not know who Ferrada de Noli is”. But Le Figaro article is in French! And Le Figaro article is so inaccurate to the point of presenting the professor as “companion of Pinochet” (compagnon de route de Pinochet), whereas Ferrada de Noli was imprisoned by Pinochet after the failed military resistance by MIR (it’s all in the article, well sourced). Also is clearly referred in the article that Ferrada de Noli’s title “Professor Emeritus” is an academic distinction, not a retirement status. A diploma states “Title of Distinction in value of meritorious academic services". The political libel: d) Most of the untruthful political characterizations on SWEDHR are ‘sourced’ in one article in Dagens Nyheter (DN). But DN nowhere has written that Swedhr “only output is statements supporting the views of the Russian government. “ This is instead what DN published on that part of the interview with Professor Ferrada de Noli: (The journalist says): "The issues you raise coincide with the Russian government’s line" (the professor interrupts the journalist): "–No, now I interrupt you. We only have our own line. Whether that coincide or not with the positions of different countries, that is not our intention."[41] As seen, quite different of what Gamesmasterg9 has stated here to ground his deletion proposal. Another serious libel reads, “after the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack in Syria, SWEDHR claimed in their magazine The Indicter that the attack was staged by the Syrian volunteer civilian defense group, the White Helmets[42] . But, the article given as source is authored by an American independent researcher who has nothing to do with SWEDHR. And it gets worse, nowhere in that article is mentioned any Khan Shaykhun chemical attack. And there is an “Editors Note” that says “Mr Adam Larsson's contribution to this debate in The Indicter is an opinion article, whose content do not necessary represent neither the editorial position of The Indicter Magazine nor of SWEDHR.” Hrdap (talk) 00:28, 27 April 2017 (UTC)Regarding Wikipedia policy, in my opinion, the most flagrant infringement in those edits here and in the Swedhr page, is an absolute disrespect for the neutrality stance. If they post about a claim on the professor in DN, they should be posting what the subject has replied about that claim, and give the source [43]. The same about Le Figaro article.[44][reply]

  • Strong Delete OK wow! This man is an incredible self-promoter. I looked up his claim of being the founder of MIR, and not a single reliable source supports this claim. In this very detailed piece for a socialist magazine, the founders of the MIR are named as Miguel Enríquez Espinoza and Luciano Cruz. Ferrada de Noli is not mentioned even once. This history of the MIR also credits Enríquez and doesn't mention Ferrada de Noli. A search of books on the Pinochet years, including this one by award-winning correspondent John Dinges and this one by Princeton history professor Jonathan Haslam reveal exactly zero mentions of Ferrada de Noli, but they all refer to Miguel Enríquez as the man behind MIR. The only external source that mentions Ferrada de Noli is this piece, which seems reliable, until you look at the bottom of the page and see this: "A Special Thanks: Marcello Ferrada-Noli is a founder of the MIR, a close friend of Miguel Enríquez and one of the few survivors of those troubled times." So, the the only sources that credit him are the ones that he himself contributed to. I don't want to engage in libel, but I am also troubled by the fact that Enríquez and most of the other leaders of the MIR did not survive the Pinochet regime, and cannot promote their roles.
It is quite possible that Ferrada de Noli was a member of MIR, but listing himself as a founder of that organization seems part of a pattern of exaggeration just like his academic credentials. It is also not the only example here on Wikipedia. In the article about the Russell Tribunal, Ferrada de Noli is listed alongside Gabriel García Márquez and historian Vladimir Dedijer as a participant in the 1974 Tribunal in Rome. However, this CIA document from the time lists all the participants. García Márquez and Dedijer both appear in the list, but once again, no mention of Ferrada de Noli. Looking at the history of that page, this edit [49] was made by User:Inkerifi, who is also the major contributor to this page, and who also inserted Ferrada de Noli's name [50] into the page on the MIR. This has entered other language Wikipedias as well, through translation [51].
I think the evidence is quite clear that Wikipedia should not be providing legitimacy to this man. Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 08:50, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep The participation of Ferrada-Noli in the foundation congress of MIR in August 1965 is well documented. The book “La Constituyente Revolucionaria – Historia de la fundación del MIR chileno” (“The Revolutionary Founding – History of the foundation of the Chilean MIR”) by Marco Álvarez, LOM Ediciones 2015, [52] mentions that participation and also reproduce quotes voiced by Ferrada-Noli during that foundation event. The quote is sourced in an interview done by author Alvarez with a Chilean politician, the lawyer Juan Saavedra (former mayor of San Miguel, in Santiago). Saavedra was also a founder of the MIR (his own book here presented by the son of Miguel Eríquez and candidate in Chile’s president election [53]

The term "founder" of MIR is being thrown around quite casually here. The article about Saavedra talks about his involvement with MIR, but apart from a mention as "fundador" (a word which also appears in the subtitle of the book written by his son), there is no mention of how he actually founded the organization. Saavedra also does not have a page either on the English or Spanish Wikipedia, which is odd, given that his supposed co-founder Miguel Enríquez has a pretty extensive page. Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 05:24, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Rebuttal: Juan Saavedra was member in a later Central Central Committee of MIR. He is also mentioned as one of the founders of MIR in the book by historian Marco Alvarez, book which specific theme is the "History of the Fundation of the Chilean MIR".

The book by the French historian Eugenia Palieraki, researcher at Universtité Cergy-Pontoise [54] (translation: “The revolution yet to arrive! The Chilean MIR in the sixties”), LOM Ediciones, 2015, 482 pages, is considered the most comprehensive history of MIR. It mentions Marcello Ferrada in multiple occasions, all of these in connection with Miguel Enríquez and the developments leading to the foundation of MIR. In her book, Palieraki never mentions Ferrada Noli as a source for her mentions about him. Some theses of Palieraki (not on the foundation MIR) about the role of the University of Concepción in the universitary reform movement of the sixties, are commented in Ferrada's recent publication here: [55] which also mentions the concrete political steps in the transformation of their old organisation VRM towards the foundation of MIR.

Rebuttal: Palieraki does not develop on the "friendship between Enríquez and Ferrada", but refers Ferrada and Enríquez in the development of political events and organizations that ended in the foundation of MIR.
Again, we can agree that Ferrada was a) a friend of Enríquez, and b) politically active in leftist movements at the time. That describes a great many people, and should not merit a Wikipedia page.Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 05:24, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Rebuttal: Well documented that Ferrada was one of the founders of the Chilean MIR. That he was also a close friend with Enríquez cannot be used as argument against the facts around the foundation of MIR.

The book by Mauricio Ahumada & Pedro Naranjo “Miguel Enríquez, el proyecto revolucionario en Chile” [56] , a biography book on Miguel Enríquez, clearly stated that Ferrada was a founder of MIR, a close friend with Miguel Enríquez, and co-author of the “Political-Military Thesis” which was the first document approved in the foundation congress. Again, the source is not Ferrada Noli.

A google book search of this book shows that it does mention Ferrada - as a friend of Enríquez, and one of a large group of university classmates with whom he discussed Marxist ideas. I have no doubt that Ferrada and Enríquez were friends. This still doesn't make him a founder of MIR. Interestingly, Ferrada is mentioned alongside Máximo Jara, Claudio Sepúlveda, Rodrigo Rojas, Martín Hernández, Jorge Gutiérrez, etc. It seems unlikely that they were all "founders". The only person mentioned as a co-founder is Bautista van Schouwen, who has his own page. See also, footnote 99 in this book, which mentions that "the first political commission of the MIR included: Miguel Enríquez, Bautista van Schouwen, Edgardo Enríquez, Andrés Pascal, Nelson Gutiérrez, Robert Moreno, Arturo Vilabella and Humberto Sotomayor". All of these names, yet no Ferrada.Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 05:24, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Rebuttal: The affirmation above, "The only person mentioned as a co-founder is Bautista van Schouwen" is a plain lie. This is the French translation of the passage by author Naranjo on the foundation of MIR, day 15 Augut 1965,
"Ou cours de l'événement furent approuvés la Déclaration de Principes, le Programme, les questions d'organisation, et une Thèse Politico-Militaire, “La conquête du pouvoir par la voie insurrectionnelle” présentée par Miguel mais à son élaboration partici

pèrent aussi Marco Antonio et Edgardo Enríquez E., Bautista van Schouwen et Marcelo Ferrada. Ce document fut un pas nouveau et significatif dans les définitions théoriques d’alors en précisant au sein d’une unité le problème de la lutte armée en relation avec le parti révolutionnaire prolétarien…"

The book “El Rebelde de la Burguesia”, a biography of Miguel Enríquez by Avendaño & Palma, Ediciones CESOC, 2001 [57], also mentions Ferrada as founder of MIR and co-author of the “Political-Military Thesis” together with Miguel Enriquez and Marco Antonio Enríquez. The authors source the information in an interview done in Paris, with then history professor at Sorbonne Marco Antonio Enríquez.

Same as before - Ferrada is mentioned as one of many friends of Enríquez at university. Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 05:24, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The user mentioning the "thanks to Ferrara-Noli" which is quoted above in this page, omits the continuation of the phrase that indicates "thanks for the picture" [58] in which Ferrada-Noi appear together with his friends Miguel Enriquez and Bautista Van Schouwen, already three years before they founded MIR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.110.198.7 (talk) 13:32, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The extensive media coverage of the parliamentary sessions demonstrates notability. There were two notable things about the sessions - the fierce debate about the currency demonetization, and the rancor between the different parties that erupted during the sessions. The former could go in the demonetization article, but where would the latter go? While I wouldn't do this kind of article myself, and there are no similar articles that I can find for other Parliament sessions, the info is good, and after some grammar cleanup it reads better. The amount of detail here just wouldn't work being placed into the other parliament articles. Timtempleton (talk) 23:23, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or at the very least new title. The Hindustantimes article on this topic indicates that there was only a "brief spate" during the parliamentary session and the real uproar later spilled outside the time frame of the parliamentary session. So I would argue that if an article were created it would have to have a different title reflecting the uproar happened later. For example, a title of "2016 Indian monetization controversy".Knox490 (talk) 03:44, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP: It was proposed earlier that this content should be added to other pages rather than stand alone. This was rejected because conservation has a very long history as do National Parks and their intersection is a crucial piece of understanding and knowledge whose history and current adaptions are important enough to warrant their own page. Rather than being a "hodgepodge" of ideas, the sub-sections on this page have been carefully selected to illustrate this topic's history and breadth. While far from complete and in need of editing, this page should remain. We would appreciate suggestions on editing and knowledge of trouble areas.

WP:BLP of a musician, with no strong claim of notability per WP:NMUSIC and no strong reliable source coverage to support it. The strongest claim here is that she won a purely local music award that isn't "major" enough to constitute a pass of NMUSIC #8 -- and the referencing is parked almost entirely on primary sources, routine concert listings, and community weekly newspapers. And of the two sources here which are theoretically legitimate ones, CBC Music (#11) is to her own PR profile on CBC Music's "any artist can add some of their own music along with their own promotional EPK" section, not to any editorial content written by CBC Music's staff, and the Kingston Whig-Standard is just a straight reprint of a press release. As always, Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform on which a musician is entitled to an article just because it's possible to verify that she exists; certain specific markers of achievement that satisfy NMUSIC have to be attained, and certain specific standards of reliable sourcing have to carry them, before a Wikipedia article becomes earned.

Being one participant in a group effort to set a Guinness record is not, in and of itself, a notability claim — because she herself is not personally the named holder of the record, and the three "sources" you cited for it are two primary sources and a blog, not reliable sources.

The Mississauga News and the Kingston Herald are both community weekly newspapers. Kingston's only GNG-eligible publication is the Kingston Whig-Standard, not the Herald, and Mississauga has no GNG-conferring media of its own separate from its status as secondary part of the Toronto media market. So they would be acceptable for supplementary sourcing of stray facts after GNG had already been satisfied by stronger sources, but they do not count for anything toward the question of whether GNG has been passed in the first place — and she wasn't "featured" in Cashbox, but merely namechecked in coverage of a music festival that she happened to play at, so that source doesn't assist passage of GNG either because it isn't about her. Bearcat (talk) 16:02, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not aware of any blanket prohibitions of local weekly papers. I'm not familiar with the Kingston Herald, but the Mississauga News appears to be a serious enough publication - and I've never doubted it's veracity. Is the Herald a weekly? Looks more like a digital publication to me ... Nfitz (talk) 19:04, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Local weekly papers can be used in the manner I specified in the above comment. But they are not widely distributed, and not generally archived in any place that would be accessible to us for reverification if the weblink ever dies, so they cannot be used to build the initial case for passage of WP:GNG. They can be used for supplementary verification of stray facts after stronger sources have already carried the GNG, but a person does not pass GNG if community weeklies are the best you can do for sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 20:30, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not aware of any requirement that references to establish GNG be available on-line - can you point to this policy? It's not relevant to my point, but why wouldn't the Mississauga News be archived and available in ProQuest's "Canadian Newsstand Torstar" along with all the other Torstar weeklies? I haven't checked for it before ... yes, it's there - February 2, 2003 to current. Nfitz (talk) 23:07, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Where did I say that the references to establish GNG had to be online? I said they had to be accessible from somewhere, not that said somewhere had to be open web. You need to try looking at my own sourcing work sometime if you think I think the latter, because I probably spend more time in ProQuest's Canadian Major Dailies than I do in my bed. Bearcat (talk) 23:13, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused what issue you are raising then - a publication like the Mississauga News, will always be available at the Mississauga Library. Back to 1965 is available on microfilm. Probably other places too. Nfitz (talk) 00:49, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The issue I'm raising is that community weekly newspapers do not count toward the initial meeting of WP:GNG, but may be used only as supplementary sourcing for stray facts after the issue of passing GNG has already been settled by stronger classes of sourcing, such as daily newspapers of the major market variety. The fact that the Mississauga Public Library has copies of the publication in its own microfilm room does not, in and of itself, make the Mississauga News a special case that counts for more than other community weekly newspapers do — because (a) the Mississauga Public Library's microfilm room is only accessible to residents of Mississauga, and is not widely available to a broad range of Wikipedia users beyond Mississauga, and (b) every local library in existence almost certainly maintains a microfilm archive of its local community weekly newspaper, so that fact hardly marks the Mississauga News as somehow more special than other community weeklies that have already been deprecated as not able to carry GNG.
If the person who needs to spotcheck a deadlinked reference to the Mississauga News lives in Florida or Norway or Malaysia or even in Toronto, for example, then there's simply no possible way for them to make that happen. Which is why newspaper has to be a major market daily to actually count toward the initial question of whether the topic clears GNG in the first place — the class of newspapers where the archives are broadly accessible to a lot of users beyond one city alone, because the microfilms are carried by a lot of library systems, and/or an internationally accessible subscription database exists that users in Florida and Norway and Malaysia can access just as easily as users in Mississauga can.
And as I've said before, if community weekly newspapers could carry GNG all by themselves, we would have to start keeping articles about presidents of church bake sale committees and elementary school parent teacher associations, and the woman a mile down the road from my parents who woke up one morning to find a pig in her yard. Which is another reason why weeklies can be used for supplementary confirmation of facts after GNG has already been covered off, but not toward the initial question of whether GNG has been met: community weeklies regularly devote coverage to topics of zero relevance to an international encyclopedia. Bearcat (talk) 02:26, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Can you point me to this policy? Though I'm not sure that Mississauga News is a great example for that policy - it is available archived on-line (though most Ontario community newspapers are, some in multiple places). Also, I'm not sure why you keep referring to it as a weekly. Nfitz (talk) 02:39, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Er, because it's not a daily? Bearcat (talk) 02:42, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's no more a weekly, than it is a daily. It's been at least twice-weekly as long as I remember. I thought they were tri-weekly at some point recently. But that's not my question. Where is this policy you cite? I'm not seeing this in WP:GNG. Nfitz (talk) 05:52, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have seen articles sourced, in part, to old news clippings, and archived material of sundry sorts by the expedient of taking a photo of the page, with a closeup enabling users to read the text, and posting it to an article's talk page. Nefitz, Certainy local bi-weeklies can be used as sources. But it is highly irregular for an topic to lack coverage in more widely recognized publications (which may include specialist publications, not just major newsmedia.) One problem is that local papers are very given to featuring topics of local notibility only, Another is that they often lack even the capacity to verify facts found in even the smaller regional dailies.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:13, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Bearcat: I have been operating for some while on the understanding that local newspapers (and the definition of local with smallish papers is admittedly fuzzy at the edge,) nevertheless, I have assumed that local sources count a little bit towards notability, Just a little bit. I don't think I have actually ivoted Keep where local soruces are all we have. Nevertheless, Nfitz asks a valid question: Where is it written?E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:13, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Again, nowhere but nowhere did I ever say that local non-daily community papers cannot be used for sourcing Wikipedia content at all — they can absolutely be used for supplementary sourcing of stray facts after GNG has already been covered off by stronger sources. But a person is not notable enough for an article if purely local community newspapers are the best sourcing that can be shown at all, and that's especially true if the person doesn't pass any of our SNGs and instead you're going for "notable because media coverage of her exists". If media coverage of her existed in The Globe and Mail, then "media coverage exists" might compel — but non-daily community papers don't build a notability case, because they routinely grant coverage to, as I mentioned above, presidents of parent teacher associations and church bake sale committees and other classes of people that are of no interest to us. And incidentally, twice-weekly papers still fall under the rubric of "weekly" papers for the purpose of determining notability, because they're still not "daily" papers. And something doesn't have to be formally spelled out in policy to be true nonetheless — you need to be familiar with the corpus of established consensus around how GNG is determined to actually apply in cases of debate, and one of the pillars of that consensus is that if community non-daily newspapers represent the best one can do for media coverage about a subject, then that isn't enough to pass GNG in and of itself. A singer gets into Wikipedia when she's getting coverage in the Toronto Star, and The Globe and Mail and The New York Times and Rolling Stone, not when she's getting coverage in a suburban pennysaver. Bearcat (talk) 20:24, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User:Bearcat. Just as you say, the sources are not here to support this article, and I cannot imagine a situation where local sourcing would suffice. I just wanted to make sure that I had not missed a black letter rule stipulating that local sourcing can never suffice. I am sorry that I put you to the toruble of a long explanation. I must have been unclear above.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:52, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
New or newish editors reading this should understand that the rules of Wikipedia like real world legal systems, operate to some extend under a system of common, that is, customary law and interpretation. Even large numbers of articles in local publications do nt suffice, and that would also apply, for example, to articles in local sections of, say, the Washingotn Post, which publishes local news about Virginia, Maryland and the District. A profile or feature story in one of these local editions wouln no more have the weight to make a topic pass WP:GNG than an article in any other local newspaper.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:52, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the confirmation of lack of this guideline, BC. Of course, in this particular area, with many other significant media outlets, the complete lack of coverage in any of them might well indicate a lack of notability. But each case should be judged on their own merits. If someone had significant coverage in only the low-circulation weeklies News/North and Nunatsiaq News, I think the weight would be very different. Nfitz (talk) 00:32, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NPOL and WP:BASIC. Being a White House aide and an unsuccessful candidate for elected office is insufficient to demonstrate notability. Kurykh (talk) 19:27, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

While I don't think this individual should be in an encyclopedia from a common sense perspective (agree with Kurykh in that regard), the articles seems to me to meet the Notability standard. WP:BASIC states "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." The article includes multiple news articles such as Washington Post and LA Times (reliable and intellectually independent of each other) that are about and focused on the subject (significant coverage). If it came to a vote I would vote to keep it up. --Michael Powerhouse (talk) 19:47, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong delete The coverage of Campoverdi is routine and related to her failed run for congress. Failed candidates get coverage all the time, but not at the level that justifies keeping articles on them.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:23, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
All coverage that's specifically in an election campaign context falls under WP:ROUTINE, because every candidate for any political office could always show that many pieces of media coverage. For a person to be considered notable because campaign coverage in and of itself, that coverage has to blow up into something approaching the shitstorm that hit Christine O'Donnell — five pieces of "candidate once posed for cheesecake photos" coverage simply doesn't meet that standard, especially if you have to rely on People and The Huffington Post just to get to five.

Candidates for office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot show and reliably source that she was already eligible for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before running as a candidate, then she has to win the election to get a Wikipedia article because election — and the volume of media coverage being shown is not enough to make her the rare Christine O'Donnell exception where the candidacy coverage turned into a shitstorm that made her an international household name that virtually everybody still instantly recognizes almost ten years later.

  • Strong Keep The coverage on Alejandra Campoverdi is not limited to her run for office. She is also a health care advocate, a former White House staffer, and a former media executive. Journalists have written about the resistance to her campaign based on what is perceived as sexism (her Maxim photo shoot), and the motivation for her run (BRCA2 gene). If she were notable merely for her campaign there would not be lengthy articles in the Washington Post , Glamour, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan , and significant inclusion in an article from the New York Times Sunday Magazine Not included as refs but but could have been: Vox, People, Bust, New York Post . There is more, but I'm not going to belabor the point. This isn't routine coverage. JSFarman (talk) 14:33, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment All of but one of your links are related to her failed election campaign: that is classic WP:NPOL (WP:BLP1E might also be a factor). Being a healthcare advocate, a former White House staffer, and a former media executive do not confer notability in and of themselves, not even in the aggregate. Just because the links are to significant bios about the candidacy doesn't make her notable; otherwise, candidates in many competitive races would be automatically notable simply due to the amount of coverage, which is not the case. --Kurykh (talk) 18:59, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't think it's true to say this is classic NPOL: for a first round (of two) Congressional primary fielding 23 candidates (source), I'd expect to see only local coverage, and not even necessarily individual profiles of each of them. It's quite unusual for such a candidate to receive multiple in-depth profiles from national outlets. Innisfree987 (talk) 16:34, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Subject passes general notability guidelines. Missvain (talk) 14:59, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep - she was a former Obama White House official (staff) and "a groundbreaking first-ever deputy director of Hispanic media at the White House" to quote the WaPo article linked by JSFarman above. Some of the MSM coverage about her dates back to 2010 so it's not just about her being a candidate now. Atsme📞📧 15:26, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Simply being a White House staffer does not confer notability, even if it is to be the first deputy director of Hispanic media. Her main claim to notability is her candidacy for elected office, which Wikipedia has deemed to be insufficient. --Kurykh (talk) 19:04, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The subject was profiled in the New York Times Magazine and LatinoMagazine prior to the campaign for Congress. While those features, in and of themselves, would not meet a WP:GNG pass, with failed candidates for public office, the test for notability should include the totality of circumstance. And while for most failed candidates, the campaign coverage is routine and the community has considered individuals running in a campaign within the context of WP:BLP1E (i.e. the election contest is notable, but the individuals are notable only in the contest of the election), in this circumstance, there is a) prior coverage of the subject in national newspapers, and b) there is national news coverage of the subject as a candidate. --Enos733 (talk) 17:40, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep meets GNG. --Rosiestep (talk) 17:52, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as has been repeatedly pointed out, GNG requires significant coverage over time, which she clearly meets. Alternative guidelines such as NPOL which limit notability to a one-dimentional sphere are secondary to GNG and serve very little purpose in evaluating people with multi-faceted lives. Having coverage as a model, White House staff, health advocate and media executive prior to her electoral bid is sufficient to verify that that single event is not the focal point of her notability. SusunW (talk) 18:17, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - has received considerable coverage, over a span of time, for multiple facts of her life, not only her failed campaign. Clearly passes GNG. LadyofShalott 00:21, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- this is not merely a political candidate, but also meets GNG for a multitude of other reasons. She has extensive coverage in multiple third-party sources, clearly meets GNG. Montanabw(talk) 07:08, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete and salt as a topic putatively about actual mental health, passing mentions in pop culture are not sufficient. Pubmed search brings up nothing. Search at PsycNet (cannot save results, search page is here) brings up nothing. As the lead to List of phobias makes clear, people have been making up "fun-with-greek" names for putative specific phobias since the late 1800s. I think WP doesn't have much about how the uncanniness of puppets (as being like-but-the-same-as humans) has been used in horror (we do have Killer toy but that is not very good) but that topic is different from a specific phobia (a serious thing) regarding puppets Jytdog (talk) 01:25, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of phobias has many other phobias that probably aren't any more common that Pupaphobia, almost all of which are blue links with their own articles, and some have far fewer references. So if this one is deleted, there are probably a bunch of other that should go too, e.g. Chiroptophobia, Decidophobia, Ergophobia, Gamophobia.

Poorly referenced WP:BLP of a businessman, which is written far more like a résumé than an encyclopedia article. Of the 31 references here, 17 are dead links, 9 are primary sources that cannot support notability at all, two are YouTube videos that cannot support notability at all, and one is a routine inclusion in a business directory. There's literally just one reference here (MobileSyrup, #28) that's both live and even a maybe on the reliable source scale — and it's verifying a tangential fact about his company while completely failing to mention his name at all, so it counts in no way as coverage of him. And on substance, what we have here is a brief PR-toned bioblurb about him, followed by a bunch of bullet-pointed résumé sections — which is not what a Wikipedia article is supposed to look like even if the referencing for it were adequate. No prejudice against recreation in the future if it can be written and referenced properly, but what we have here right now is a clear candidate for the blow it up and start over treatment.

  • Comment, Google Maps shows a "Khallet Khazen" here, very close to the coordinates provided by NGA GEOnet Names Server (deep link to search results not possible) for what they officially call "Mazraat Khallet Khâzene", with "Mazra‘at Khallat Khāzin" offered as a variant. Can't determine if it is officially recognized such as is required to pass WP:GEOLAND but perhaps this can aid in searching. Antepenultimate (talk) 15:17, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Adding this rather sparse offering (in French) from what appears to be some sort of NGO focused on local Lebanese development: Mazraat Khallet Khazen. Also according to OpenStreetMap (unreliable source) the place's name in Arabic may be مزرعة خلة خازن . Antepenultimate (talk) 11:00, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Still nothing that suggest any sort of notability. How would it be determined that the location passes WP:GEOLAND? Boomer VialHolla! We gonna ball! 06:54, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Typically, some sort of indication that the location has legal recognition from the parent government, in this case Lebanon. Normally in these discussions this comes in the form of official census results (unless the location is defined only for the purpose of a census, such as a census tract), evidence of location-specific elected or appointed officials, or receiving some sort of official government identifier (such as a postal code specific to the location). This is an intentionally low bar that is set by WP:GEOLAND, which serves to combat the sort of systemic bias that would result from accepting English-language Google results as if they were a thorough evaluation of notability for foreign locations; evidence of official recognition is a pretty good proxy that additional sources exist, although they may be offline and/or in unfamiliar languages. Areas without evidence of legal recognition (such as neighborhoods or unofficial regions) are evaluated via regular WP:GNG. There is usually room for debate in any case, depending on the specifics of the location. Antepenultimate (talk) 11:10, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So, if I'm understanding correctly, articles pass WP:GEOLAND based on the fact that they are recognized to be owned by a parent government, it is undetermined that this area is recognized by the parent government in question (Lebanon), and no sort of notability can be established? Boomer VialHolla! We gonna ball! 07:14, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Essentially yes, hence why I've only left a "comment" and not a !vote at this time.

W:BLP, with a modest but noticeable advertorial tinge to it, of a musician who has potentially valid notability claims per WP:NMUSIC but isn't reliably sourcing them. She has apparently had some festival bookings beyond just locally, she's released multiple albums (albeit on a label whose importance for the purposes of NMUSIC #5 is uncertain at best), and she's placed songs in TV shows -- so an article would be includable if it were referenced properly, but this as written is referenced entirely to primary sources except for a single article in her local newspaper which verifies none of those things, but rather exists only in a context that passes no NMUSIC criteria. And on a Google News search, literally the only new source I can find is a glancing namecheck of her existence in an article about a venue she played in 2011. As always, Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform on which a musician is entitled to an article just because she exists, but nothing here is enough.

Hello. I am the author of the page and I am not related to he artist in any way commercially or looking for publicity. In a platform that includes every single fictional pokemon character, what would suffice to include a Canadian Artist with six records? How can we clean the article so it does not look like a commercial? M cyclops (talk) 18:06, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Show some evidence that she actually meets an WP:NMUSIC criterion, and reference it to reliable source coverage in media. We require considerably more than just "she exists and here's her own website to prove it". Releasing six albums isn't an automatic notability freebie either — a person can release 100 albums and still not get a Wikipedia article for it, if sufficient reliable source coverage in media about them is lacking.
And, for the record, it's also not unreasonable that our standards for the notability of living people have to be stricter than our standards for the notability of game-related content — Layah Jane has a reputation that can be damaged if we get stuff wrong or if somebody edits the article to attack her or to invade her personal privacy by posting gossip about her private life or her address and phone number, while Pikachu does not. So the notability or non-notability of musicians is not comparable to the notability or non-notability of Pokemon — we have to be much stricter about the quality of sources used to support an article about a living person than we are about the quality of sources used to support an article about a cartoon character, because the living person can be harmed if we're not careful enough.

Hi Clarityfiend, I appreciate your input and I originally thought the same thing before writing this article, however we ultimately decided to create an independent article due to the reasoning user doncram provided below. The food security of the Central Valley is more unique than other regions due to the fact that it is a huge agricultural producer yet much of the population is food insecure, and the Valley also has issues of immigration and labor rights/wage problems. I hope you consider this, thank you! --Bumblebee024 (talk) 19:47, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, thanks for taking a look at our article and providing input. As stated below and cited by multiple research papers, the general topic is actually very notable in this particular region due to how the Central Valley is a prominent agriculture hub but much of the population working to keep that hub functioning cannot afford or access food, especially healthy food. User doncram provides a very helpful explanation below of why we decided to make this article independent, and I hope you decide to reconsider. Thank you! --Bumblebee024 (talk) 19:47, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It is a notable paradox that the Central Valley, which is one of the U.S.'s most prominent food-producing regions (almost all American grocery stores are supplied partly from it), is also an area of hunger. The National Public Radio story "Central Valley Disconnect: Rich Land, Poor Nutrition" is one source that expresses that. It is in fact exceptional; perhaps the irony could/should be expressed more clearly in the lede. This is where John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath's starving Joad family migrated to, from dust-bowl Oklahoma, only to find gross "food insecurity" here, too, leading to the classic's epic final scene. Frankly the article ought to refer to the Grapes of Wrath, which most editors will know about, while many editors will not otherwise make the connection that this area is in fact famous for its food insecurity. However, as it is written now already the topic meets wp:GNG, with multiple reliable sources focused on this specific situation. The existence of this article is not presaging that articles about food insecurity in every other same-area region of the U.S. will be started. Other areas do not have the food production, and they do not have the vulnerable immigrant / migrant population which derives from the region's historical employment of large seasonal agricultural labor. --doncram 23:26, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I will add a see also section and link to Grapes of Wrath. After reading your explanation, I am more convinced the topic is notable, but I don't think that is made clear from the content of the article. For example, the demographics section and primary source census statistics should be better integrated into the topic. Simply citing population and poverty statistics without sourcing any discussion of how those statistics are relevant explicitly in on-topic secondary sources is borderline WP:OR. There also seem to be some possible WP:SYNTH issues.
For example the statement "For example, one of the major health implications is obesity. This is pertinent to the Central Valley because a positive correlation between obesity and corner store access as been observed by researchers." - I searched the source for Central Valley and California and neither is mentioned in the source. I don't know what other editors will say, but to me this seems like a clear WP:SYNTH violation. I think the instructor needs to make the WP:OR and WP:SYNTH requirements clear to the students, possibly with guidance from WikiEdu, because this is not an isolated example. Seraphim System (talk) 00:07, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I am the original nominator but after above discussion, I think the topic is notable per User talk:Doncram and the problems with WP:OR would be more properly handled through the editing process. Seraphim System (talk) 21:52, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails the WP:NSCHOLAR criteria, and as that is an exclusive guideline, I don't need to invoke the GNG. Also, those awards are in-school, they all come from Harvard, not an exterior grading org. L3X1 (distant write) 00:31, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Citation record not enough for WP:PROF#C1 and while it's possible to be notable for excellent teaching (and it appears he really is an excellent teacher) it's very much doing it the hard way. The local awards listed are not enough; we need some broader recognition of his teaching excellence. And the coverage at [82] is too bare-bones to even make a step towards WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:50, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. A little too soon for WP:Prof#C1 but is likely to catch up in the future, plus excellence in teaching. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:42, 22 April 2017 (UTC).[reply]
