Quinary sector of the economy[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There are not enough reliable sources available to support this article. Although there are several personal blogs that casually reference the concept of the "quinary sector," there is no evidence that this term is used by professional economists, published books, or other widely-respected sources. It would be better to simply mention the quinary sector as a possible extension of the "three-sector theory" on the three-sector theory page, rather than to devote an entire Wikipedia page to a concept that is not widely used by professionals or academics.

Comment I de-PRODded this under the assumption that the New Zealand A team was, in fact, New Zealand's A team, in which case he would meet NFOOTY. Is this not actually the case? Smartyllama (talk) 13:27, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The keep arguments reflect a case of hope over actual sourcing. This remains a BLP and the consensus is the current sourcing is inadequate. Delete is the only policy based outcome here. If sources emerge this can quickly return. Also no objections to someone putting in a redirect to his city.

Aqeel Najam Hashmi[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I don't think Mayor of Pakistani cities are something that would be expected to have an article on English Wikipedia, unless they meet GNG, at minimum. A quick G'Search produce only namecheck type of press coverage and not any substantial information in the independent RS about the person which means the subject fails to meet GNG..

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Politicians-related deletion discussions. Coolabahapple (talk) 12:02, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Likely keep Three quick points - first, any search should also be completed in Urdu to see what sources are available. Second, Wikipedia is a global encyclopedia and the standards for judging notability WP:NPOL do not vary across states, so if a mayor would be notable in Canada, a similarly situated individual would also be notable in Pakistan. Third, the city of Bahawalpur has a population of nearly 800,000 and the standard for judging a mayor in a city of regional prominence is an acknowledgment of some coverage, which does appear to exist. --Enos733 (talk) 18:07, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I can't read Urdu in order to determine whether adequate sourcing exists to get him over WP:NPOL #2 or not (where the condition is the sourcing, and not the role in and of itself.) But to comment on the nominator's reasoning, our notability standards are not affected by the subject's own primary language or the language of the sourcing — if he has enough Urdu-language sourcing to clear NPOL and GNG, then he clears NPOL and GNG, and Wikipedia does not deprecate politicians as less notable just because they serve in countries where the primary language is not English. For one thing, even if English isn't Pakistan's primary language there are still English speakers living in Pakistan — and for another, people living outside of Pakistan might very well need to access information about Pakistani politicians too. Language is not relevant to our notability criteria — if notability and sourceability had to have a specifically anglophone angle to it, we wouldn't be able to keep articles about most topics in Central and South America, Africa, Asia, continental Europe or the Canadian province of Quebec. And then we wouldn't be fulfilling our mandate. So notability is not contingent on whether the topic operates inside the anglosphere or not — if it can be properly sourced as existing in the world, then it's established and we don't care about the language aspects. Bearcat (talk) 18:46, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment My concern with this is a similar concern I have to the tons of local mayors we have in the United States, where I can't find anything that would help flesh out an article about him. I agree with Saqib that most of the coverage is just name-checks. However, compared to a lot of politicians from elsewhere that are dealt with at AfD, there's a lot of name-check coverage, in English. While we lack any sort of story about him specifically I would expect to find more information in non-English sources. Furthermore we'd typically keep someone with this sort of coverage for a city with this population, even though population's not technically a requirement for mayors. SportingFlyer talk 06:04, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete : Reference is not reliable and the person is not notable Heshiv (talk) 13:03, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as long as information/reliable sources can be found in other languages (specifically Urdu). The city is a fairly large one in Pakistan and as Bearcat said, there is no less prominence because it is a city in a non-English speaking country. The lack of information in English means someone who can understand Urdu would need to look for information before we can determine that there is none, and my guess is that there would be, given the size of the city. Tillerh11 (talk) 13:26, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Clearly does not pass inclusion criteria. For mayors we have to have multiple sources showing something more than routine coverage which is lacking here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:41, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article should be kept. Almost all cities this size have mayors with Wikipedia pages. In fact, mayors of cities half the size of this one have Wikipedia pages. Why should this be any different? Unless nothing can be found about him, there is no reason for his Wikipedia page to be deleted. Bedfordres (Talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:19, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because WP:BLP article must be verifiable to readers through sources that are actually cited in the article, not just by other sources (ex. Google search, Yahoo! etc.) Siddiqsazzad001 <Talk/> 14:00, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I used two search engines (Bing and Google News) to get to find coverage, but found nothing aside a mention of being an alumni of Unilag. Although unsourced, I went through the article to find what could potentially make the subject remarkable, perhaps they could be a starting point for an encyclopedic addition if sources could be found. The following are the summary of the most significant part of his career from the info in the article:

He has stakes in First Bank of Nigeria, Intercontinental Bank, Aiico Insurance and Forte Oil plc - those are definitely minor stakes. Millions of people have stakes in a public liability comapany, it doesn't make them notable. Even me, I have stakes in more than ten financial institutions, and I am far from even being semi-notable.

CIPM essay winner: The award has not grown to confer automatic notability on individuals. Besides, its just a student award.

Best graduating student in his secondary school (without an article): per norm, best graduating students of the most notable secondary schools/high schools in the world, don't have automatic notability. Not to talk of a school without a wiki article.

Scoring 305 in Jamb - not the highest ever, even if it was, still not enough for auto notability. I am sure the person with the highest GRE/SAT score doent have auto notability based on that too.

Stock investment: there is nothing encyclopaedic about this section of the arrticle
Designing lagtutor: creating an IT solution for students in Unilag counts for nothing
Ghana trip: no one cares

Delete for a distinct failure to prove notability under WP:GNG or WP:BIO. No functional sources at all (barely any of any variety at all).

Lots of sources, virtually none that speak to notability. The few that are reliable and independent do not have much at all in the way of detail. Pretty clearly a WP:GNG fail. Also fails WP:NCREATIVE, as we have no major awards, no seminal body of work, no major reviews of any of the works and no indication that he is considered a leader in his field, by anyone else besides himself and the editor he paid to write this.

Delete as failing WP:GNG. For all the references on this article I was unable to find any with GNG passing coverage.

Keep: Re: his notability, under WP:FILMMAKER, notability is defined as "3) The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews; 4) The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention..." Unless there is a caveat to this guideline of which I'm unaware (and, if so, please educate me), this guideline confers notability to a creator by virtue of his role, and Rosenstein was the creator and producer of a significant and well-covered body of work.

This proposed Monorail project has been perpetually placed on hold since 2008.^[1]^[2] To this day, it never got off the ground.^[3] As there are no plans to date to revive the project itself, this article is rendered obsolete and irrelevant. Vnonymous (talk) 05:04, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article passes the usual bar of inclusion, WP:GNG, additionally planned rail systems are usually kept if they pass GNG, and of course notability is not temporary. On top of that seeing as the project is still a part of the Penang Master Plan on Transportation from 2016 [1] and is still talked about in the press [2] and is still having political consequences [3] I think the article should be kept. Winner 42 Talk to me! 19:03, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP) from 2016 is not a continuation of the previous monorail project, and neither did the monorail project ended up being subsumed as part of the newer PTMP. The reasons are as follows.

The earlier monorail project consisted of two lines, both of which had different alignments when compared to the newer PTMP. For example, the earlier monorail plan included a line from Tanjung Tokong to the Penang International Airport via Air Itam. The PTMP diverges significantly from the original monorail route, proposing instead two monorail lines originating from George Town - one to Air Itam and another to Tanjung Tokong. Refer to the earlier monorail route map here and the PTMP monorail routes here.
The earlier monorail project had been mooted (and was subsequently put on hold for an indefinite amount of time) by the Malaysian federal government.^[1] On the other hand, the PTMP was drafted by the Penang state government.
This article also stated that the monorail project was tendered to Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad, whereas the PTMP will be implemented by SRS Consortium.^[2]

In fact, the assertion that the monorail project still carries political consequences does not hold much water here. The monorail project had been mooted by the Barisan Nasional-led federal government at the time. The news report which alluded to the political consequences actually quoted a Barisan Nasional (BN) election candidate. As we all know, BN was trounced in both the state and federal-level election last month. What is the impact of that BN candidate's statement then, if I may ask? How the monorail project still carries political consequences is also beyond me, when there has been an absence of notable sources which support this assertion.

Vnonymous, I was confused about the status of the monorail project and how it related to the current plan. Thanks for setting me straight. Delete per Vnonymous with no prejudice against recreating an article under this title if a different Penang Monorail ever actually happens. Winner 42 Talk to me! 16:30, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because the project is not alive and the subject is not notable. All we have are routine mentions in a few domestic papers. -The Gnome (talk) 19:04, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and I agree with Vnonymous on this issue. The proposed monorail has seen no progress in the past 10 years. With the overthrow of the BN government, it is very unlikely the monorail will see the light at the end of the tunnel for another five years (as the maximum tenure of the Malaysian government is five years).

O Tannenbaum (They Might Be Giants song)[edit]

Delete - Completely non-notable recording of a Christmas song, largely sourced to first party liner notes.

Delete/Merge/Redirect (to band's discography) Non-notable cover (which is why I removed from the article it had been inappropriately merged to). Question is whether whatever usable content can go in the band's discography article - lacking a search for further sources, I'll remain neutral on that. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 20:02, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the information about the recording this song could be merged into They Might Be Giants In... Holidayland which includes this song, particularly the information referenced to the liner notes for that particular EP, but I wouldn't be opposed to an outright deletion. A redirect is definitely not an option because hardly anybody looking for "O Tannenbaum"" is going to be looking for the TMBG version – there are plenty more famous versions of the song than this one.

And the references you've added do essentially nothing to establish notability. Film databases (the majority of citations you've added) generally do nothing to establish notability (and for God's sake, you've added an IMDB cite supporting the subject's supposed birthname, an obviously unreliable source); the only substantive source you've added is a promotional interview for a business he worked for, not an independent source; and the rest are award-related citations for awards that don't count toward notability, a tactic that's been uniformly been rejected in prior deletion discussions.

Keep because subject seems to passs WP:PORNBIO, which demands that the person has won a well-known and significant industry award. Subject has won the 1997 X-Rated Critics Organization Best Amateur Award for the series Filthy First Timers he directed. We have sources verifying that as well as other achievements in his chosen field of work. -The Gnome (talk) 20:55, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:PORNBIO. 1. He has not won a well-known and significant industry award. He has won 2 scene related awards which are excluded from consideration. 2. He has not made unique contributions to a specific pornographic genre, such as beginning a trend in pornography; starring in an iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster feature; or being a member of an industry hall of fame such as the AVN Hall of Fame, XRCO Hall of Fame or equivalent. 3. He has not been featured multiple times in notable mainstream media. In fact, according to the citations on the page he has not been featured in any mainstream media. The Gnome, at least 3 films in the series Filthy First Timers were released in 1997. Each of those films had a different director. He only directed and appeared in 1 of those movies (Filthy First Timers 7) in that year. The series won the award, no individual is named in the award. That is hardly a significant award for Van Damage. Sources consist of primary sources (AVN), movie databases WP:UGC, and a passing mention in a promotional interview in an industry magazine (XBIZ). Van Damage does not meet WP:PORNBIO, and he does not go anywhere near meeting WP:GNG 8==8 Boneso (talk) 23:30, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The entity had a page created in 2010 and it was deleted for failing WP:BIO (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jordan_Harbinger ). 7 years later, in 2017, a SPA create the page again, without going through AfC. A Google News search shows 340 results, most of them are name drops and lack the depth of coverage WP:N requires. Also, the SPA who created this page also created the page for the guy's podcast too (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Eggnog_slog ); so, yeah, it's pretty obvious that they're trying to self-promote on Wikipedia again.

Interesting comment User:Vix sapientia. Please let us know if you have a conflict of interest when commenting (see WP:COI). Your profile says "I am also an avid consumer of "personal development"" and you also wrote the draft for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:The_Jordan_Harbinger_Show . You might have a connection to the subject that you're not informing us about. It also looks like you're new on Wikipedia since you have 19 edits. You might want to sit down and read WP:BLP to understand the requirements for having a Wikipedia page for a living person. You'd also want to sit down and read WP:RS. For example, you mentioned that the subject was featured on the Tony Robbins podcast. WP:QUESTIONABLE states "Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight." To give you an idea of what "fact checking" or "editorial oversight" is, consider an academic journal or a newspaper like the NY Times. The Tony Robbins Podcast? It might just be one individual giving his/her opinion with no editorial oversight or fact checking. So, yeah, please inform us of a COI and inform yourself of the guidelines.

No conflict. I'm obligated to disclose those and since I haven't, I don't have one. As my profile says, it's just something that interests me, and I've also worked on a few insurance related pages which is my area of expertise. I thought it might be interesting to try and add value to this community but so far, but instead of someone speaking with me and yes, acknowledging that I am new and might make a few missteps, I seem to get people like you talking down to me rather than trying to have a conversation.

List of cancelled Nintendo games[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Relies heavily on unreliable sources. Other entries are unsourced. Even if reliable sources could be obtained, the topic of cancelled games for "Nintendo" platforms is not a cohesive topic in and of itself. There are lists of canceled games for each individual system elsewhere on wiki. TarkusAB^talk 20:14, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If this is kept it needs a new title since Nintendo Games makes it sounds like we are taking about cancelled games that were going to be made by Nintendo not cancelled games that were going to be on one of their consoles.--69.157.253.30 (talk) 20:22, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I feel most of these sources are not as "unreliable" as the persion who proposed the nomination pretends. And if the website "NINTENDO64EVER" is though to be unreliable, it should be demostrated that they got some things wrong to show that. In the meantime, you can just put a require addional sources template next to each of these sources to point out the need of addictional verification. And Even if we exclude all the sources from NINTENDO64EVER, there are still plenty of reliable sources that this article uses, such as exerpts of magazines from the time period. The article could still be considerable long without all the content from the so-called "unreliable" sources. Therefore, I think this article should be kept. Emass100 (talk) 20:32, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did add an external link at the bottom of the page. While the page it goes to is not in itself reliable, it contains details of magazine issues and pages that can be used as reliable sources to note the intended release of those games before cancellation. Deltasim (talk) 21:49, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Reliable sources can always been found and placed and there are some existing ones currently. I agree that the title can be changed to something like "List of cancelled games on Nintendo systems". I disagree with putting all cancelled games together as the number would be enormous on one page. I also disagree with putting cancelled games on the list of games on the respective systems, because those lists contain officially released games and the cancelled games are more like extras. Ideally you would want the most notable cancelled games on the list such as "Super Mario 64 2". Deltasim (talk) 21:45, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If we put the issue of sourcing aside, I don't think my other concern can be addressed. That is, the topic of "games cancelled on Nintendo systems" is not a topic discussed by journalists. I have seen articles that discuss games canceled for the 64DD, or games canceled for the Super Nintendo, but never seen an article that discusses games cancelled across Nintendo platforms all together. Therefore, we are creating a made-up topic. TarkusAB^talk 21:54, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While it might be true that this topic has never been addressed so broadly, the topic of the games cancelled for each individual consoles certainly has. We could separate this article into into one article for every consoles listed here, and it would adress this issue. We could therefore see this article as a merged topics article. Emass100 (talk) 23:04, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree we could separate into separate articles for each console, but a merged topic article like this one currently fails WP:NOTESAL. TarkusAB^talk 03:57, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this fails WP:NOTESAL. This is an article made out of multiple lists, all of which pass WP:NOTESAL, grouped together because of their affinities. Emass100 (talk) 05:49, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some of those consoles such as Virtual Boy would be pretty short considering the few cancellations. In addition to a list, there would have to lengthy sentences to explain the reasons for the cancellations and the efforts that were put into the games (which fit better in the individual game articles. I can't see going in this direction as making this one list a big improvement. Deltasim (talk) 06:44, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you all don't think this fails WP:NOTESAL, then can someone provide a reliable source where cancelled games for Nintendo platforms are "discussed as a group or set". There isn't one on the page. TarkusAB^talk 11:43, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep However, needs work, namely in the addition of viable sources and removal of unsourced non-notable titles per WP:DIRECTORY. Not every single game has to be included. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 21:56, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If this was just for actual Nintendo games, I would vote to keep in concept, but as this is for literally any game meant for a Nintendo console that got canceled, it's too large in scope. Why stop there? Where is our cancelled Sony and Microsoft games lists? ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 07:40, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An individual page that have a list for cancelled Sony games or one for Sega games can be created. Consider this page as a sample for other future lists of cancelled games. If this Nintendo page works, the same could be applied to other major systems, provided that notability is established. Deltasim (talk) 11:02, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm pretty sure there's a way to make an article out of this, I'm just unsure of how to rework the scope that makes sense. "Nintendo games" is confusing in definition and scope. But cancelled video games are frequently covered by reliable sources. I'm not sure how it'd make sense to split up. Might be possible just make a "List of canceled video games" list and have the inclusion criteria be games that have their own dedicated articles, so it'd be restricted to, let's say, major ones like Sonic Xtreme rather than everyone one of the 9 cancelled Sonic games. Or maybe just do it by dev/pub comapny? Sergecross73 msg me 15:58, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can see where the confusion lies. You might think by "cancelled", those games were cancelled altogether such as "Sonic Xtreme" which never saw release on Sega Saturn or any Sega console to follow. The scope is for games that were intended for release on one or more Nintendo consoles/handhelds, but never made it to the particular platform(s). For example Aero The-Acrobat 2 was released on SNES but was cancelled for Game Boy Advance. It might qualify as a cancelled port/remake if you will. The list I put together includes a combination cancelled games that were never released and games with cancelled ports and remakes. Deltasim (talk) 17:00, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The misunderstanding was more that someone moved it to a new title after the AFD started, from List of cancelled Nintendo Games to List of cancelled games for Nintendo consoles, and didn't make note of it really here. The title is an improvement, its timing and implementation was just...not ideal. The new title gives it a clearer scope at least. Sergecross73 msg me 17:21, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The title makes all the difference, in my opinion. Gives it real scope rather than just an infodump. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 20:41, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It needs work, but it satisfies the notability guidelines. Felicia (talk) 00:12, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but rework so the scope is limited to only games Nintendo was developing and/or was going to publish. A list of every canceled game on a Nintendo platform regardless of developer or publisher is way too broad. JOE BRO 64 19:22, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What would complicate the scope of the list is listing games that were released in one region such as NA/USA but cancelled in PAL/EU for example. Personally I don't think this list really needs to expand to that scope because indicating the existence of the games on particular platforms is what the list is all about.

I would argue that if a game was released in some regions and not others it’s the release in those particular regions that was cancelled not the game itself.--69.157.253.30 (talk) 22:17, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete There's a tag already on Wikipedia that helps to categorize which title was planned, cancelled or went unreleased for the NES. We all need to place the exact source as to which "X" game was planned or not. I suggest to delete this article and put to good use the Category:Cancelled Nintendo Entertainment System games tag. KGRAMR (talk) 01:04, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This "tag" is only for the NES though. Some of these consoles don't have this tag system. Also: having this article around will help you make good use of the good use the Category:Cancelled Nintendo Entertainment System games tag because of the sources here. there is no harm keeping both, and they are not duplicates of each other. Emass100 (talk) 06:00, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Categories do not provide references and don't establish notability. Some articles have no references to suggest that those games tagged cancelled games were ever planned or in development in the first place. This list compiles the references together, so you can be sure if a cancelled game is a hoax/rumor or for real. Deltasim (talk) 09:05, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Emass100:@Deltaism: You can both apply the tag and a reference talking about the cancelled port or even make an article about a particular cancelled NES game. That's what i tried to do with the List of cancelled Atari Jaguar games article that i single-handedly created, by adding all of the references that i could find but unfortunately i gave up on it once a Wikipedia user going by the name StraightDown came a started making that article a complete mess (That dude acts under the agenda of trolls that are moderators at AtariAge and Ross Sillifant/Lost Dragon/The Voice of Truth/Last Shogun/roguetrooper/Rogue Trooper/LD/Chryssalid/The Furthest Man From Home/themekon, a dude that will "correct" you in regards to unreleased games on all platforms, by self-referencing his own interviews and articles that he has posted from multiple websites to no end and most of the time posts comment without actual proof of what he's talking about). Now, i would love to help in finding stuff about unreleased NES games but sadly, due to that bad experience i had 2-3 months ago, i suggest to delete the article. I'm not doing this to be the bad guy so keep that in mind. KGRAMR (talk) 06:56, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's not about cancelled Nintendo (as in the developer) video games, which to me would make some sense, but about games that at one point have been announced for on any Nintendo console. It also included multiplatform games, even if they were released on other platforms. It's largely unsourced. It's also confusing and vague. Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil does mention in the article that it was announced to be released for the GameCube, Area 51 however doesn't mention Nintendo. South Park was released for the Nintendo 64, but not for the Game Boy Color, so it is listed there. That's WP:SYNTH and/or WP:OR. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 11:04, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm slowly but surely fixing those problems with at least one reliable source for each game. I'm narrowing the list down to games that actually did have a planned or coming release before cancellation and removing the ones that were rumoured to have cancelled releases. I'll check out the games you linked and see if they are official cancelled ports/games or not. Deltasim (talk) 11:18, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Many of the references that have been added are not news citations about any particular game's cancellation, but previews, announcements, or other notices just mentioning the game, proving it was in development or at least was an idea at some point. It's true that finding sources explicitly mentioning cancellation will be impossible for many games because most just become vaporware, but likewise, assuming cancellation becomes WP:OR because some may have been reworked into other games. And as mentioned above, many of these games were released on non-Nintendo platforms, again bringing into question which I still don't know the answer to: "Do we have sources that demonstrate the notability of cancelled games for Nintendo consoles as a group or set?"

From researching sources myself, I believe the answer to be no. I have seen many listicle articles titled "25 Games We'll Never Get to Play" or some variation that discuss games that were completely never released, but I have never seen articles that give weight or discuss any notability of those cancelled specifically for Nintendo platforms. Furthermore, I haven't identified any weight given in how cancelled games are reported so far as making any list short of "List of cancelled video games" would not be satisfactory, and that would be too large. We have CATs for all this: Category:Cancelled video games. TarkusAB^talk 18:23, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the end, I think the only people who can establish notability for most if not all the cancelled games as a set are Nintendo themselves. The best I can do is find two or more cancelled games on a single article. The best success I've had so far is 6 cancelled Wii U games and 25 cancelled Nintendo 64 games. The problem with categories is that they can be tagged on any article. Several articles such as Tomato Adventure, Trap Gunner and Wario Land 4 have been tagged as Cancelled Game Boy Color games, but I have found no evidence or references that GBC versions of those games were ever planned. Another problem with categories is that it cannot be applied to cancelled games that do not have an article of their own such as "Titus Jr". Deltasim (talk) 19:34, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Making a list doesn't solve the problem of folks mislabeling the games as canceled. In fact, half of the entries on this list are currently unsourced and nothing can stop editors from adding unsourced entries in the future, or entries with dubious or unreliable sources. As is always with Wikipedia, readers are responsible for conducting their own due diligence and reading the articles and checking sources themselves. Regarding games like Titus Jr., if it is not notable enough for its own article, we don't need a special list to ensure they are cataolgued. TarkusAB^talk 20:05, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Lot of blue links on that list, so it aids in navigation. Also far more useful than a category since you can see the Cancellation date, Developer, Publisher, and which Nintendo console it was to be released on, all in one nice comparison list. Ample reliable sources to prove the information is correct here and in the linked articles. Dream Focus 19:34, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Someone please enlighten me? While I have played video games I am not a "gamer". "IF" we are to consider a very large list, possible because there are blue links that aid in navigation, that at most has 25 members (I think that is the most I have seen) then:

1. What would be looked for (or what audience) that would be helped with this list?
2. How do we justify members of a "group" if there are/is sources that confirm only 25? Would not the rest be synthesis and even OR when lacking sources.
3. Considering the above how can mix-and-matching games from separate consoles be in accordance to notability guidelines?
4. How is a list that includes games that someone was "developing and/or was going to publish" be verified by other than primary sources?
5. If this is a list that aids navigation but is about related items that share the same name (Nintendo) would this not be a set index article? Otr500 (talk) 23:34, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Significant coverage in [4] and [5] ~Kvng (talk) 15:34, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am on the fence about this, but I have a hunch that this is notable. There are not a lot of sweet shops in Chennai about which articles would be published in newspapers. Sri Krishna Sweets is one which I know is very popular due to its Mysorepak. It is quite possible that this one is popular as well. I want to thank Kvng for the sources, although personally I don't think they are enough to be counted as significant coverage. I will look for more sources.--DreamLinker (talk) 08:30, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Some references
^[3] This is an article about how the business is now being split among the third generation of the family

^[4] This is a short review

^[5] (Already mentioned by Kvng above) Short review, but it is interesting that Grand Sweets is listed alongside Sri Krishna Sweets, which is quite famous.

^[6] There is a paragraph about a family feud and splitting the business. The article calls it the "best known sweet shop in Chennai"

^[7] This is an interesting reference to the shop in a book reviewed here. In general this is an indication of cultural significance.

I guess this is good enough for me for go for a keep.--DreamLinker (talk) 08:50, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. Numerically it's more than 2:1 for keep. Whether something is a BLP1E issue is a matter of judgement, so not something I can second-guess as closer. That would lead us to a "keep" closure. But many "keep" opinions do not even address the BLP1E concerns and argue with the merits of the person or the human interest nature of the story. These are not policy-based opinions and need to be given less weight. Even so, given the numbers I can't find a consensus for deletion here, and so we have to settle for no consensus.

Keep. Given the amount of news coverage, this is sufficiently notable to justify encyclopedic coverage. As others have commented, this is not an ordinary occurance. Will it have a lasting effect? Probably not. But there is no requirement that events matter forever to be included in the encyclopedia. Not only does this matter today, as a rare occurance that has received unusually sustained coverage, but it may well also be relevant in future. For instance, this might have some impact on French immigration policy discussions. Regardless of whether or not that ends up happening though, the amount of discussion in the media earns the subject a brief article. Just to cover the WP:BLP1E claim, criterion 1 is met but 2 and 3 remain open for interpretation. The consensus here should be read as suggesting that the event is significant and the individual may remain reasonably high profile. Tamwin (talk) 01:26, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Yes, it's just one incident, but it's an extraordinary incident and other people, as I did, may be looking for more information on this brave person. Expand the article, if anything.

Comment Yes, I like this guy, too, but that is not a policy-based argument. And I am happy to see so many editors with WP:CRYSTAL crystal balls in good working order, that will come in handy not only for predicting future coverage of this person and whether they "may" remain high profile. "If it gets no visits in future years, it can always be deleted later" must be about the weirdest "keep" argument that I've seen in many years of AfD participation. In fact, this bio meets all three criteria of WP:BLP1E. Criterion 1: "reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event", check, obviously. Criterion 2: "that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual", check: no indication whatsoever that this person will become a high profile individual. And there's no deadline. If this person in future becomes an influential personality, that is the moment to create an article. Criterion 3: "the event is not significant", check. Despite all our sympathies, the rescue of a single child is not a "significant event". With criterion 3, BLP1E gives an example: Reagan assassination attempt. It is extremely unlikely that we'll ever have an article on "boy dangling from balcony". In short, it seems to me that too many editors here let themselves be swayed by their sympathies for this heroic young man and by the current excitement, which according to my crystal ball most certainly will show to be ephemeral. --Randykitty (talk) 08:16, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For all I know there might be hundreds. Only this one has been captured on camera, enjoyed viral social media circulation and led to a meeting with Emmanuel Macron? I think it's the personal notability, not the event notability, that's the issue here. But which is the "one" event - the rescue, or the viral video or the Presidential meeting, offer and award? The guidelines say that the notability of "the one event" is irrelevant, yes? Martinevans123 (talk) 11:01, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP1E says that a person may be notable if (s)he played an important role in a significant event. Hence, John Hinckley Jr. and Mohamed Atta are notable (and as you can see from those articles, coverage continued for decades, exactly because those events were very significant). Here, the event is not significant, not by a mile. It has already disappeared from most news websites or newspaper front pages that I am aware of and I'd be mightily surprised if there's any coverage (or interest) left 3 days from today. --Randykitty (talk) 11:52, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While this is perhaps not the strongest keep argument of all time (at least in my view articles should be considered on their own merits), it hardly reduces to WP:ILIKEIT. It is merely a claim that the presence of this article helps balance the encyclopedia. The basic point here is that those who want to keep the article think that this news item has received an unusual amount of attention, such that coverage is justified by public interests, and there are sufficient sources to make a good article. Those who want the article deleted think that this case isn't unusual enough to justify an exception. It's largely a matter of degree, and can be the subject of legitimate disagreement.

For example The Independent article, the Washington Post article, The Guardian article or Eyewitness News opinion article. Also a suggestion as an alternative if this Mamoudou Gassama page will have to be deleted, that we add the video of the incident on the page List of viral videos that we have. werldwayd (talk) 13:34, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As things stand, this is just a WP:BLP1E which fails the principle of WP:NOTNEWS. The amount of coverage this has received in the short term is not, in and of itself, evidence that he's permanently or enduringly notable — it happens all the time that people get brief blips of media coverage for doing something that doesn't warrant an encyclopedia article. Our role here is not to simply and uncritically maintain a standalone BLP of every single person who happens to get his name into the news cycle for a few days anywhere in the world for any reason whatsoever — our job is to filter this stuff for whether it passes the ten-year test for enduring significance or not, but there's no evidence that he passes that test as of today. There are probably other pages, such as List of viral videos, where this could be mentioned, but it's not grounds for a standalone biography of him separately from that — as it stands today, this is more suitable for WikiNews than here. It's certainly possible that he might pull off something more enduringly notable in the future, so it can always be recreated in the future if and when that happens — maybe he manages to parlay his popularity into becoming the next President of France after Macron, weirder things have happened — but nothing that's true as of today is permanently notable enough to lift this out of BLP1E and NOTNEWS yet. "Media coverage exists" is not, in and of itself, an automatic exemption from also having to have a reason why the story has passed from currently newsy WP:RECENTISM into enduringly notable foreverism.

Strong Keep Current BLP1E policy states: "We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met...and the third point is 'If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented." And this event is obviously significant and Gassama's role in that was sheer substantial. So BLP1E or NOTNEWS doesn't apply here. Dial911 (talk) 16:10, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, whether that event was significant or not is not for us to decide. Given that by now this has already completely disappeared from any reporting, the burden is on you to show with reliable sources that this is significant. In the absence of continued coverage, it would appear that all three criteria of BLP1E are more than met. --Randykitty (talk) 16:28, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is definitely not an absence of continued coverage. The guy was in the news as early as May 27 and he has been in the coverage till now for different reasons. News stories are coming out regularly on the subject. Some of these are here, published on June 3rd, 4th and 6th. What else does continued coverage mean?

There are many other news stories published in french media that talk about the subject. I think that should make this article survive this AfD. Maybe, after 10 years we can discuss BLP1E and continuous coverage again. Dial911 (talk) 16:46, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it's the other way around. There's no deadline, so if after a few years there still is coverage of this minor event, that would be the moment to create an encyclopedic article. And while it's commendable that you went to the trouble of finding those references, it's easy to see that the initial torrent is drying up. So far, no evidence of continued coverage (which is difficult anyway, given that this event occurred less than 2 weeks ago: WP:TOOSOON). --Randykitty (talk) 16:57, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest you to stay on Wikipedia's core policies only while gauging the merit of an article and not keep on citing essays like WP:TOOSOON or WP:DEADLINE for your excuse of deleting this article. As far as I know, this article satisfies all necessary policies of Wikipedia and there is no reason whatsoever to get this deleted now. Dial911 (talk) 17:08, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The WP:BLP1E policy, on which Dial911 bases his whole "strong" argument, states also the following: The significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources.

Please place emphasis on the term "persistent." As the policy goes on to provide a real-life example of what is notable under the policy and what is not, John Hinckley Jr has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant and his role was both substantial and well documented. This means that we are still today, decades after the assassination attempt, talk and read and watch references about both the perpetrator and the event. Which means that Randykitty has the essence of the policy down pat while Dial911 mistakes the current brouhaha for everlasting notability. WP:TOOSOON, despite the arbitrary attempts to reject it, fully applies. -The Gnome (talk) 19:28, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You too place some emphasis on the term “persistent”. The notability of this event has been established already. See WP:NTEMP which says, Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage. And as per it, the subject has garnered "significant coverage" in accordance with GNG. And for the sake of talking and reading and watching references in future, I would say if decades after no significant source talks about this person ever, we can go ahead and start an AfD then. There is no point in deleting this article now. Dial911 (talk) 20:05, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So I guess your next step will be to propose TOOSOON, NOTNEWS, and BLP1E for deletion, because we can do without them. To paraphrase: "there's no point in creating an article like this now". --Randykitty (talk) 21:41, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, things work on consensus on Wikipedia. And that is what we all are trying to reach here. As far as your argument about my next step is concerned, I won't mind if consensus warrants the deletion of any essay from Wikipedia. There is a reason why these essays are essays and not core content policies of Wikipedia. And there is no harm in changing/deleting/modifying even policies if the community wishes to do so. We in fact, have been changing/modifying/creating and deleting policies and procedures to get better. This project is a work in progress after all. I respect your nomination. Being an administrator yourself, you should try to focus on your actions and not anticipating what mine are gonna be. Thanks! Dial911 (talk) 22:00, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bubble-bursting time: WP:BLP1E is not an essay, Dial911. It is extant and enforceable policy. If the consensus on some AfD is to keep instead of deleting an article about a contributor's loss of hair, rest assured that such a consensus would only reflect temporarily how "things work" in Wikipedia. As long as the policies about the biographies of living persons are in force, we shall and will go on enforcing them. The place to dispute them is not AfD proposals. You might want to use AfD outcomes as an argument against current policies, of course. -The Gnome (talk) 10:21, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Gnome, Didn’t you read what I said above? I know BLP1E is a policy and that is why I said even policies can change if consensus reaches. Dial911 (talk) 13:48, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you were not too clear when you wrote "There is a reason why these essays are essays and not core content policies of Wikipedia." This seemed to include WP:BLP1E. But thanks for the clarification. As far as this AfD is concerned, I repeat for clarity, WP:BLP1E is fully valid, extant, and enforceable policy. -The Gnome (talk) 13:52, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think those essays currently reflect consensus here. Anyway, thanks for the advice. I've said what needed to be said, let's see what the closing admin has to say. --Randykitty (talk) 05:19, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ngoubou[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article is clearly non-notable (there's no exemption for fringe labels like "cryptids") and profringe, with no evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. While there was nothing on the talk page about a previous nomination, the page history shows that it was part of a deletion discussion for Mbielu-Mbielu-Mbielu which closed with a result of no consensus. A redirect to List of cryptids is unsupported, since that's a list of mystery animals notable enough to have a page, and provides no information to someone looking for "Ngoubou." Possibly a redirect to Mokele-mbembe, since even within unreliable fringe sources that's the context it usually comes up in, but a delete would be cleaner. --tronvillain (talk) 13:20, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question. Would a redirect to Ceratopsia be a possibility here? I am a little hesitant about suggesting this, as this is clearly a case of a "cryptid" species. Vorbee (talk) 15:51, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looking further, it seems to be a recent (c. 2000) creationist idea, speculated by them to be similar to the also fringe Emela-ntouka in Roy Mackal's A Living Dinosaur? In Search of Mokele-Mbembe, and then further speculated to be similar to a (not especially similar) report in Heuvelman's On the Track of Unknown Animals: "24 ft. in length with a long pointed snout adorned with tusks like horns and a short horn above the nostrils. The front feet were like those of a horse and the hind hoofs were cloven. There was a scaly hump on the monster's shoulders." It's multiple levels of non-notable fringe, but maybe a redirect to Ceratopsia would work? --tronvillain (talk) 16:08, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is one of a score of articles that somehow made it out of the deep fringe swamp on to the site without demonstrating any level of significant notability, often with the goal of promoting fringe. The link between cryptozoology and Young Earth creationism in these areas is strong. While that in itself is an interesting topic to write about, but without secondary discussion, articles like these fail Wikipedia's notability guidelines. :bloodofox: (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -The fact that she won't be a junior soon is irrelevant to the issue, which is that she doesn't meet the notability policies as linked above. The last sentence from the nominator is likely meant to give an example of why she isn't notable. Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball, so we shouldn't retain the article just in case she goes on to have a notable career. If the notability guidelines are met sometime in the future, the article can be reinstated. Nanophosis (talk) 13:49, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Ault[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I think it would be preferable to go through the WP:AfD process to discuss this article.

It was created September 7, 2005 and this gives an opportunity for the editors who have worked on the article to review it and add to the discussion.
There are "About 756,000 results" in a Google search for "Mike Ault" (admittedly many of them about people of the same name who are not the subject of this article.)
While of course AfD is not for cleanup, perhaps this AfD might yield some good outcomes. To the best of my knowledge and understanding, the current buzzword for this is "teachable events". Shirt58 (talk) 09:56, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant Delete. This guy (narrowly) fails the requirements for WP:AUTHOR. Although he clearly knows a lot about Oracle, I don't think this fulfills the requirements. He definitely isn't highly cited (RQ 1): a search of Jstor for "Mike Ault" and "Mike Ault Oracle" reveals little (the one paper that his name appears on is clearly not him, being a journal of political science). GScholar has more results, but they're all guides written by him rather than academic papers, and he isn't cited by anyone. There's no suggestion that he came up with any new concepts or theories (RQ 2) or gained fame from his work (RQ 4). A very shaky case could be made for the Oracle series being a significant collection of works (RQ 3), but I question its real significance.

- (pinged) If playing significant roles in multiple notable productions is sufficient for notability, shouldn't playing any non-extra role in multiple such productions be sufficient to establish significance? After all, it is a lower standard than notability and what "significant" means is oftentimes only clear after discussion. That said, I don't claim this subject is indeed notable.

SoWhy, the key word is 'significant', but there is a similar word in German that might not have exactly the same meaning. I would understand your confusion.

Actually, "significant" and the German word "signifikant" are commonly listed as meaning the same, e.g. [6]. There is no confusion. The standard of A7 is, despite a fraction of editors ignoring it, explicitly lower than notability and so it would be incorrect to apply notability criteria to A7.

As well as established social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vimeo [presently empty]) we also operate a Researchgate scholar account which so far details the 'Preliminary Specifciations' guide for the intended archival elements alongside a pre-print of a catalogue documenting the cultural signature of Earth i.e. transmissions and other objects in space - content which is the subject of other Wikipedia articles. RE: 2016, the foundation was initially founded as a society amongst a few dedicated researchers but we have since decided to officially apply for foundation status with OSCR registry pending, Bylaw publication to subsequently follow. We are also part of an informal, communal network of similar entities (some of which have have been listed below in the 'See Also' column) with partnerships pending on additional collaborations. Please let me know if you have any additional queries and I'll endeavour to respond - always at hand to help.

Comment - hi, Quastie an interesting article to be sure, but unfortunately there are a number of things in your answer here that are going to end up being flattened.

Articles in the mainspace are expected to meet the minimum requirements from c.1 hour after creation. Notability in particular should exist now or have the article deleted

The press launches, under-construction website, social media channels, vimeo and internally produced journals are all unsuitable sources for wikipedia - they are all both original research (not permitted for anything other than very basic details) and non-independent. They specifically cannot support notability, which requires secondary sources.

Working with a group of similar entities also won't provide anything that combats the nominator's argument (unless there were some sources about the overall group and you changed to make the article about the group as a whole).

Since all the actual functional changes came from you, I suspect you could probably have the article draftified, where it would be removed from the main article space and be returned to a proto-article which you can edit until it has sufficient notability/suitable sources.

~~Keep~~Per Consensus I'll start by contesting the contested speedy delete which while good faith was under WP:G11 and by my strong belief fails blatant and unambiguous advertising. WP:FIELD also cautions against deleting under G11 unless unambiguously proven. However there have been other issues identified in the article's tainted past and at AfD it is possible other issues will be brought forward.

From my point of veiw i've lost the ability to query wikipedia for autotask and get a gist of what it's about. But there is another issue while this pragmatically has to be let go.

Delete non-notable person, fails WP:GNG. SportingFlyer talk 07:04, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, without prejudice against recreation if someone can write and source it properly. There's a valid notability claim here, but (a) the sourcing isn't getting him over WP:GNG for it, as it consists of primary sources rather than reliable ones, (b) the article reads more like somebody tried to convert his résumé into prose rather than actually writing a properly toned encyclopedia article, and (c) that's not surprising considering that the article was created by User:LAVetAffairs. I'll grant that's more likely to be a staff member of the agency than Strickland himself, but even an employee is still a person with a direct conflict of interest who doesn't get to be starting the article regardless of Strickland's notability or lack thereof. Even for offices that pass NPOL #1, the notability is because media coverage about their work in that role is expected to exist, not because they get an exemption from ever having to actually cite any of it. This would be a clear keep if the article were written and sourced properly by somebody without a COI issue — but in this state of writing tone and sourcing, it's a blow it up and start over. Bearcat (talk) 23:37, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and tag for improvement. As Bearcat says, running a large government department is a valid claim to notability. alternatively, allow discussion to continue for another week, and give editors a chance to source it.

WP:HEY, I did a very slight cleanup of article, removing the worst of the PROMO from the lede, and adding a couple of reliable sources. This should satisfy Bearcat's objections. Do note that he meets WP:NPOL TWICE, heading major government departments first in Arizona, and now in Louisiana.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This may just be semantic about what constitutes a government office, but I know the Arizona position is just a government department, not an elected office, and it appears the Louisiana department is the same. SportingFlyer talk 18:12, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. WP:POL.1 specifies: "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office" including judges makes it clear that a cabinet-level appointee qualifies, as Bearcat and Icewhiz state above.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:56, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ehh, are there any other articles you've found about him in Arizona that aren't in the article already? I don't see the "soaring," just a couple articles on how his firing was controversial. SportingFlyer talk 23:22, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Many. I only made the most cursory start at improving the article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:59, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read them? Do you know how to run a search?E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. There's nothing I can find from Arizona that discusses him in any capacity except for the fact he was fired controversially, even though it looks like it was his own doing: [8]. There are other ways in which he could potentially pass WP:GNG, but I don't think this self-created event would do it. SportingFlyer talk 18:17, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Meets NPOL because he held a cabinet-level position in Arizona Government of Arizona#Cabinet. Louisiana has a lousy Wikipedia page, but a pretty good press corps [[9] which puts him in the Cabinet.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

State cabinet positions are not elected offices. He could still pass WP:GNG, but he doesn't pass WP:NPOL. SportingFlyer talk 18:18, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, SportingFlyer, NPOL notability is not conditional on whether the person was elected or appointed to the office they hold — NPOL #1 does cover off things like Canadian senators and UK members of the House of Lords, who are appointed rather than elected, interim US senators who get appointed by the governor as temporary placeholders pending the special election after an elected senator's resignation or death, and federal or state cabinet members in the United States where those operate outside the legislature and thus do not necessarily have to be held exclusively by people who had ever previously been elected to anything. The issue here is the lack of sourcing and the semi-advertorial WP:COI, not the fact that he was appointed and not elected to his position. Bearcat (talk) 17:50, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that, and I wasn't trying to read in something which says he must be elected. I just don't read a state cabinet falling under an "office" in NPOL #1. SportingFlyer talk 17:54, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lots more out there.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:34, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly closer to WP:GNG than many other local political articles that are out there, even if it's close to the line. My concerns come from the fact his first moment of notability came from his high-profile firing in Arizona, the fact there was a COI with the creation of the page, and the question about whether an appointed position passes NPOL #1 (I don't think it does). I'm also unsure all of those articles show SIGCOV: the Hilburn article only appears to quote him to pass WP:V. Also, it appears he resigned from his position rather than being fired, even if the resignation was controversial. I'll clean that up in case this gets kept. SportingFlyer talk 00:45, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Untrue. He became notable either when he was appointed Director of the Louisiana Governor's Office of Indian Affairs in 1996; or when he became executive director of Veterans Affairs in Louisiana in ; or when he became president of the National Association of State Directors of Veterans Affairs in 2003; but not later than 2008 when he became a cabinet member in Arizona.

I do not appreciate the accusation of slander. I have said nothing untruthful. Furthermore, he did not become notable when he was appointed - that falls outside WP:NPOL, and being appointed only passes WP:GNG if it is very well sourced. SportingFlyer talk 17:43, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly sourced WP:BLP with a very weak claim of notability. Prod removed with the comment "This is a genuine page. I will add more references and informatiob later. Thank you" by an IP in the UK who is apparently the same editor as another IP currently on a final warning for unexplained changes to this article and Magnús Scheving.

The only source in the article is also the only independent reliable source I can find on the subject. It provides very little info on the subject, only that she co-owns a restaurant and that Magnús Scheving provided some input. Her apparent notability, such as it is, as Head of Creative Development and Operations of LazyTown Entertainment is not mentioned, nor is any meaningful biographical info.

Keep Okay, having read through all of the secondary sources I could (the ones that are images of newspapers obviously can't be translated) and there seems more than enough to cover her - different sources, covering different aspects of her life. The article could be vastly more substantial. The only ambiguity comes from the fact that google translate isn't great with icelandic, but more than enough to make me happy that notability is satisfied.

Hertford County, West New Jersey[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is an article on a county that may not even have existed. The only source that even mentions it is a map. With only one source, there is a good chance that it was an error. The author of this article uses WP:OR and WP:SYNTH to try to explain how the county may have existed even though there are no records. The article must be deleted as a violation of WP:V Rusf10 (talk) 02:35, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I don't know what the creator was thinking... Enigma^msg 16:32, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Random stating that the missing records are notable without indicating why. Only if some interesting reason that made them missing related to this potential county would that act as justification. We don't even have sufficient primary evidence to demonstrate existence - so there isn't enough to make for reliable secondary sources. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:07, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This seems like kind of obscure, quirky stuff about a place / placename that Wikipedia is good at handling. And the article seems encyclopedic. I believe it; I don't think anyone is contending that the information provided is false. Offhand, it seems it should be moved to "Hertford County, New Jersey", because surely it was understood to be part of New Jersey, presumably in the western part. It seems to me that it would be going backwards to delete this arcane info.

I recognize that I am not necessarily putting this not-a-vote in 100% proper terms. Please spare me all the accusations about wp:NOT / wp:ILIKEIT / wp:ITDOESNOHARM etc. All of those are true, that I do like it, it does no harm, and so on. Those may not be super-strongest reasons to keep it, but they are not reasons to delete it. --Doncram (talk) 23:43, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll spare you the usual criticism as you requested since you already admitted your reasoning or lack thereof. It is my contention that the information provided is the article is false. The only fact in the article is that the county appeared on a map (which most likely could have been just an error). Everything after that is just speculation by the author to attempt to explain how the county could have existed despite the fact that there are no records of it. It actually is harmful to keep this article since it violates WP:V and WP:OR and is not all encyclopedic. If the article was kept, the rename you suggested would not be appropriate because at the time the county allegedly existed, New Jersey did not exist, there was an East Jersey and a West Jersey.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:30, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay about not renaming; i had not followed the included link about West Jersey.

The information in the article is true. Nothing is disputed. For example, everyone believes the assertion that "A note on the Thornton map states, 'The R: Derwin or Asumpinck is the bounds between the County's of Burlington and Hertford on the Wt side of the line of Partition'."

Since the nominator's argument is "that the information is provided in the article is false", this should be closed, perhaps Speedy Keep, as the nomination is obviously invalid.

And, it is irritating that this nominator, in this AFD also as in other AFDs, is apparently bent on commenting about every comment that does not agree with them. I assume it will be continuing to be irritating, because that is what they will do next. --Doncram (talk) 20:14, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Damn right, I'm going to comment again. What's really irritating is someone who continually participates in AfDs, but has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. Half the time you don't even bother reading the articles that are nominated (you even admitted to it [29]). The existence of the county on a single map does not prove it exists. If it really existed, don't you think some other mapmaker would have picked up on it? The rest of the article is a made-up explanation of how this county may have existed. We shouldn't be writing articles on things that may or may not be true. The article is a clear violation of WP:V, one of the core content polices. I challenge you to find one, just one, other source that says this county existed. It seems highly unlikely to me.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:50, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Breathe people - keep it calm. Doncram - AfD is a discussion, not a pot of (reasoned or otherwise) viewpoints. Rusf10 is more than entitled to try and convince people, so long as he isn't hectoring, which his activity is well off.

~~Keep~~ withdraw. Puzzling nomination since we have entire categories filled with proposed things that never happened (Category:Failed museum proposals in the United States; Category:Proposed buildings and structures by country, not to mention Category:Proposed administrative territorial entities). Obviously, we only keep proposed things that can be reliably sourced, and this proposed county is sourced to what to be reliable sources. E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:55, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is not having an article about something that was proposed. The issue is we can't even verify that it was proposed. The only source is a single map. I'm going to guess that the map was an error and nothing more. The article starts off by telling us it "was either a proposed or a former county," meaning that basically nothing is known about it. How does that pass WP:V?--Rusf10 (talk) 21:15, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - particularly as the reliable sources aren't actually sourcing the relevant bit of the article - they are there almost to prove a negative, rather than the primary point of the article.

Delete if an article existed about the Thornton map, this might be a plausible redirect target. As it is, even reliable sources aren't sure if it ever existed or was simply a drafting error on a single map. The coverage in comprehensive histories of boundaries of New Jersey isn't sufficient to meet GNG here. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:43, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as there are not enough sources to verify the information. Geographical divisions, (even if they are only proposed), could be notable. However, I would at least expect some sources which describe the entity. In this case it seems that there is only a single map which mentions this. This is not enough to claim that "it was a proposed county". That would be original research. Maps often contain spelling errors and older maps may not always be very reliable. What I would be looking for is secondary sources such as a contemporary academic work which examines these maps and reaches some conclusion.--DreamLinker (talk) 05:40, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

comment Digging a little deeper, I can see that this was a highly probable naming proposal, given that a group of Quaker families from Hertfordshire had just arrived in this part of West New Jersey when that map was created, and, of course, that fact taht we have lots of old American counties were named for English shires (including Hertford County).

The Art of Charm[edit]

AfDs for this article:

Fails WP:CORP. This entity was deleted back in 2010 for WP:SPIP (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Art_of_Charm ). In January 2017, a WP:SPA created this page and the page about its founder, Jordan Harbinger (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Art_of_Charm&action=history ). I did a Google News search for the entity and they're just passing mentions or name drops. There's no significant coverage as required by WP:CORP. Also, given the fact that the articles was created by a single purpose account 7 years after it was originally deleted, I'm pretty sure there's some foul play here; especially since the user didn't go through AfC.

Keep per substantial coverage in reliable independent sources such as those cited in the article. For example The Guardian article says:

"The Art of Charm podcast can be intimidating. Not just because it’s the work of a lawyer called Jordan Harbinger. Not simply because Jordan has worked out how to weaponise all the many elements of the human personality that go to make up charisma in order to get people to listen to him, be impressed by him or hire him. But mainly because he also has the energy to turn these thoughts into podcasts of frightening intensity. I can’t listen to more than half of the long episodes without having a lie down.

His “minisodes” are easier to take. A lot of it is just common sense – today you should text two people you haven’t texted in a while – but by turning everyday niceness into a matter of iron policy he has become a regular Dale Carnegie of the digital dispensation." FloridaArmy (talk) 17:37, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. A little more careful examination of the sources cited (or stirred up) reveals the following:

The Harvard Business Review gives examples of successful podcast formats, among which it name-drops (once) the Art of Charm (AoC).

All the reports with Shaq in them, e.g. USA Today, Business Insider, Forbes (4/2016), etc, are about Shaq's statements on the Earth being flat, and they simply mention that he spoke on AoC.

The Time article contains viewpoints on storytelling offered by a bunch of people, including the AoC creator. It's not about AoC.

P-town[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Completely uncited. Various users over the years have been indiscriminately adding seemingly their own hometowns that begin with P. I deleted all the ones in the US other than Provincetown, but, c'mon, Paris? Nobody has ever called it that. JesseRafe (talk) 13:55, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep~~...probably?~~ Disambiguation pages never have citations per se. For a page like this, the criterion for whether an entry should be included is whether the topic name is referred to in the target article. (The article should then presumably have a citation supporting that.)

The appropriate first step here, then, would be to delete any entry that doesn't meet that criterion. If that collapses down to a couple of entries, then that's still a keep. If it's one entry, then change the page to a redirect. If it's zero entries, then delete.--NapoliRoma (talk) 16:52, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not a bad rubric, I didn't go back to check on the other US ones I deleted, but unsurprisingly all the others failed this test except for Provincetown. So this will likely distill to a redirect if that's the only verified (and obviously most logical) instance. JesseRafe (talk) 18:04, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Portland, Oregon has some pull quotes that are cited, but I would argue that these are not truly verified nicknames, just what one person quoted in an article might have said. Petaluma, California and Pomona, California have it on their pages, but uncited. The latter with a CN up for 40 months, the former with nothing. If the two California ones are not reliably sourced, I'd move for a redirect to Provincetown with at most a hatnote that P-Town redirects there and a "for Portland" link. JesseRafe (talk) 18:10, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would also consider adding Pleasanton, California back. The nickname used to be noted within its article, but I hadn't noticed it had been pulled a couple of years, but is cite-able. (Where I live, in case you hadn't guessed... :-) ).

Provincetown clearly has the strongest claim, but even though the ones we've mentioned here are not as well known, I think some or all of them still have enough of a claim to retain the dab page.--NapoliRoma (talk) 22:37, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep disambiguation pages are not of encyclopedic content; they are navigation aids and do not need citations. If this were being presented as a list (close call here), we would expect citations; but deletion for lack of citations is not a remedy that is available (see WP:DELETE, where #6 comes closest: "Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources"). Given no end of reliable sources showing P-town in relation to Provincetown, MA; no rational editor could invoke #6. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:15, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and most or probably all of the deleted U.S. ones should be added back. As a disambiguation page, this is supposed to help readers get to where they want, and if Pleasanton has ever been referred to as "P-town" ever then it is a help to suggest that it might be what the reader is looking for. Provincetown is properly identified as being the most commonly intended. --Doncram (talk) 23:30, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. One could argue that Provincetown is the wp:PRIMARYUSAGE and consequently that P-town should redirect to there, with this dab page moved to P-town (disambiguation). But that hasn't been argued, has it? And I think that is still consistent with "Keep" for this AFD. --Doncram (talk) 23:33, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep I assume some of the non-Provincetown entries are legitimate, though Google search gives me no help to prove that. If none of them are, this should redirect to Provincetown, Massachusetts. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:45, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete-We should be looking for independent significant coverage from secondary sources (which should obviously be reliable). Among the sources brought up are:
- [38]- This source doesn't qualify as it is an interview and thus is not independent of the subject.(Whatever is said by the subject is written)
- [39]-Parts of this article do qualify as a independent reliable source.
- [40]-Most of this article is based off an an interview and partially from various social Media posts made by him...Thus this article also cannot be called an independent source.
- [41]- This article is almost entirely reliant on a social media post made by the subject and thus is not independent.

Thus from the above analysis we can conclude that there is only one independent, mostly-reliable source to support the claims of notability of the article subject. This is however not enough and thus I would support deletion of the article based on the grounds of WP:TOOSOON taking into consideration the state of the current coverage. — F R ⁺ 07:04, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[42] is surely not an interview. The article has bits of excerts from the subject but it won't be justice to call it an interview. Also based on the length of the article (Indian sources generally don't have such long articles on comics and actors (WP:INDAFD)), the subject passes WP:GNG.

It is felt that the subject of this article meets the guidelines for notability. There is no original source material. There are multiple secondary source links. There is only one "snippet" inserted as a place holder until the proper citation has been found. The fact that the subject appeared in a movie (Motorcycle Women) as the lead, documented in IMDB, would seem to validate notability. The fact that the subject co-founded the first all-female outlaw motorcycle club (Devil Dolls) in the country in modern (or any other) times, and the citations to confirm this, would seem to meet the guidelines for notability. While part of the content may appear to be "puffery" (older Lady Gaga and an outlier), this can be cured by removing it if this is what should be done. An article regarding Devil Dolls Motorcycle Club is being prepared as is a shorter article for Motorcycle Women. Any help to improve this article is greatly appreciated. However, this article does not meet the criteria for deletion.Weathervane13 21:02, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Article for Motorcycle Women created. Movie added to List of Biker Films/2000s. Puffery removed.Weathervane13 23:31, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

While I do agree that there is no original source material and multiple secondary sources, I do not feel that Evans meets the criteria for notability found at WP:BASIC. I did not find "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources". Just being in a movie in IMDB or founding a motorcycle club does not signify notablility, though those could be used to prove notability. Natg 19 (talk) 03:40, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As a secondary note, I do not believe that the film Motorcycle Women is notable either, though that should be discussed at a separate AfD. Natg 19 (talk) 03:42, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep article --

From WP:Basic If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.[7]

It seems that under this criterion that multiple independent sources have been provided with respect to four different aspect of Evans' life (recording artist, film and publications, first female outlaw motorcycle club in the U.S. and environmental activist). Combined, these 4 different aspects are more than enough for Evans to meet notability guidelines.Weathervane13 19:47, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
