I think this article should remain as it is but with a few added corroborated links and citations as it is all factually correct and can be verified. You didn't do your research, and yes these links may not be in the article already, however, they verify information in the article marked as "citation needed." It is a blind, bold statement to claim that The Swingtips weren't part of the swing revival, as there are many sources here (some biased) as well as music compilations that show the importance of The Swingtips. Can we please keep this civil and not jump to conclusions? This has already jumped to a bad start and I thank you for bringing up the uttermost importance of more citations so that interested individuals may find more information if they feel it necessary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simitar_Entertainment

  • Delete Fails WP:GNG, No reliable sources to speak of. Half of the sources in the article are just refs supporting appearances of their songs in media, while other ones seem to indicate . The sources provided by Blakiemon do little to help; Discogs is user generated and can't be used to establish notability, and even then, just because a band was featured on a few compalations doesn't make them notable. As for the google books, all of them sans the billboard one appear to be passing mentions, and are thus not usable. The billboard one seems to be talking about a compilation, which again does not establish notability. As for the last two, the DavidThomasroberts link is just about a compilation and that's it, while the amazon is one is the same thing. It exists, but there's little coverage on them beyond that. 💵Money💵emoji💵Talk💸Help out at CCI! 13:28, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the refbombing, it doesn't appear to meet GNG - the vast majority of the sources aren't reliable sources (largely blogs, with the occasional press release), and several don't even mention Paybis (they're more justifying things like "are people buying Bitcoin," which isn't relevant to the article) or are entirely unrelated to the article. I don't see any sources which look reliable. The claim to notability ("considered to be one of the most notable cryptocurrency exchanges in the Baltics") is entirely unsupported by the references. Article looks to me like undisclosed promotion/COI. creffett (talk) 23:17, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep: Page is thorough when it comes to its resources. As a cryptocurrency exchange, it makes sense that most of its resources come from authorative blockchain websites. On top of that, the second sentence of the first paragraph ("The exchange provides cryptocurrency to fiat trading and is considered to be one of the most notable cryptocurrency exchange in the Baltics.[1][2][3][4][5]”) should be updated to better match the references. This would be a more fitting sentence - “The exchange provides cryptocurrency to fiat trading.[1][2][3][4][5]”

Cannot find any significant coverage by secondary reliable sources for WP:GNG (the article in The Independent was written by him and therefore primary), nor evidence of passing WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR.

  • Weak keep Mostly as being a Fellow of the RAS. My understanding is that this did count for rather more at one time, before the somewhat mercenary appearance it has now. I've heard his name mostly in relation to celadon glazes. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:50, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Right, but its reliability as being "highly selective" is no longer there so it cannot be used alone for notability now. However, if someone received it when it did mean more in the past, there are probably other indicators of notability (such as the WP:NAUTHOR discussion in the other comments). — MarkH21 (talk) 10:19, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep I think he meets WP:NAUTHOR, as multiple reviews of The Art of World Religions — Buddhism and The Megalithic Art of the Maltese Islands have been found and added to the article, as well as reviews of his other books (not that the reviews are always very complimentary, as David Eppstein noted in an edit summary). One review states that he was also a fellow of two other societies, so I have added that info as well. He may, on that basis, meet WP:NACADEMIC#3, though it would be good to have other evidence that he is/was a fellow of those societies. I found a few other sources which I haven't added, one saying that he was curator of Weymouth and Portland Museums in 1982 [1]; one a scan of an excavation report on The Iron Age Settlement, East Cliff, Bournemouth [2]; he was co-author of Bournemouth Then and Now [3]; and an article in the British Society for the Turin Shroud newsletter #28 (possibly 1991?) about two strange exhibitions in Bournemouth put on by a Dr Michael Ridley ... [4]. I haven't found any information on where Ridley studied, however, which would be useful information for the bio of a scholar. RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:02, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep per WP:AUTHOR. Four published reviews for two different books (as listed now in the article) meets my minimum threshold for this criterion. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:21, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm fine with the withdraw, but I'm actually in favour of draftifying per WP:NOTNEWS as this is a youth player who hasn't made a fully professional appearance, and the articles are all either WP:BLP1E (him signing a professional contract) or mere transfer blurbs. We can move him to mainspace when he makes an appearance. SportingFlyer T·C 07:51, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • My concern is he fails the WP:10YT. If he never plays a game, I don't think he would be notable. SportingFlyer T·C 14:21, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer: you can get notable young players who never make it, the classic example is Sonny Pike. GiantSnowman 10:47, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: Yes, but Luqman didn't sign for Ajax at seven years of age. He's just a youth international who signed for a European team, who's not even listed in their first team. The Caoimhin Kelleher comparison is courageously false, as Kelleher was named on a team playing in the most prestigious club match of the year, has received wide international coverage in spite of his lack of an appearance, and has gone onto play for Liverpool if only in the EFL Cup, whereas Luqman is just... a youth player who signed for a Belgian team. All of the coverage is recent and he likely fails WP:BLP1E at this point. SportingFlyer T·C 02:02, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's all your personal opinion, though. "just a youth international who signed for a European team" (which is what Sonny Pike literally did do, btw...) to you, perhaps, but it's (evidently) a big event to Malaysians and arguably Belgian people of interest. "All of the coverage is recent", well he is 17? What do you want, pieces on what happened on his first day at school? Joking aside, I believe your opinions are just that. Also, I wasn't even directly comparing this AfD to the Kelleher one, though you could (I wouldn't) even argue the UCL stuff was (at time of AfD) BLP1E; also, saying "has gone onto..." isn't fair or relevant, as we can't predict the future at AfDs. R96Skinner (talk) 03:16, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The recent coverage directly contradicts WP:NOTNEWS, though. I'm not looking for pieces from his first day of school, I'm looking for sustained coverage of him as a professional footballer, which hasn't happened yet because he's not even signing until March 2020. No one here has shown there's any sort of lasting notability which would pass the WP:10Y test - it's also WP:TOOSOON. We do not typically keep players who fail WP:NFOOTY unless they clearly get beyond WP:GNG, and especially not youth players - I still don't see any reason why we would be making an exception for him. SportingFlyer T·C 05:45, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Evidently, as seen at AfD plenty of times, NFOOTY is, not that I agree, practically worthless - it's all about GNG, which is always arguable; that's why I'd say SNGs are a better way to go, because at least it's a consistent notability line which leaves no, or little to no, questions. The fact (I missed that, good spot!) he doesn't join until 2020, in my opinion, emphasises how notable this player is - this much coverage for something that is a while away from happening, clearly high interest. Even away from the Kortrijk stuff, Luqman is/was still getting attention: [15], [16], [17], [18]. R96Skinner (talk) 13:19, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NFOOTY actually isn't useless. Per User:Levivich/NFooty_AfDs#No_NFooty, if you don't meet WP:NFOOTY, you're almost certainly getting deleted, though I agree many of those don't have sources presented. With regards to the final four sources you've just presented, see WP:YOUNGATH - they're all game/routine coverage of a youth player. SportingFlyer T·C 11:26, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I can see we aren't going to agree here, which isn't a problem - this is what AfDs are for I guess. Happy editing! R96Skinner (talk) 17:49, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to pass WP:ORG, and I am not seeing evidence of notability separate from the parent institution.

List of LGBT-related films[edit]

List of LGBT-related films (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

List that has outlived its usefulness and been supplanted by other, more specific lists, for a subject that has become far too large to be maintainable in this one-stop format anymore. Just to be clear in case anybody misunderstands, I am not proposing that we do away with all lists of LGBT-related films; we already have many other more specific lists by year which should absolutely be kept, and I just don't think we need to keep a massive A-Z master list alongside them anymore.
When this was first created in 2003, there were a lot fewer LGBT-related films to list at all -- the original version literally had only around 100 films in it total. But with the sheer explosion in the visibility and sourceability and mainstreaming of LGBT-themed films in the intervening 16 years, we now have over 3,000 articles about LGBT-related films before you even take into account the considerable number of LGBT-themed films that are currently still redlinks, and the literally unfathomable number of LGBT-themed films still to come in the future. So in 2012, we started a comprehensive set of LGBT-related films subgrouped by year of release, which is highly developed and very well-maintained -- and with those lists in place, the value in trying to maintain a comprehensive A-Z master list alongside them is significantly reduced.
The sheer number of LGBT-related films that need to be listed now also poses a serious maintainability problem -- films frequently get added to the by-year lists without being added here, and the sheer number of films involved makes it virtually impossible to actually undertake any serious effort to get all the missing films added here anymore. And, by comparison, if a country has "List of [Country] films of [Year]" lists in place, then we just use "List of [Country] films" as an index of links to the year lists and not as a redundant master list of all the films that are already in the sublists -- and the sheer scope of this topic means we should treat it like a "country" in that sense.
TLDR, I believe this "comprehensive" master list has outlived its usefulness. We should just delete it, move List of LGBT-related films by year overtop the redlink, and let the by-year lists stand on their own from now on instead of trying to compile a reduplicated master list alongside them.

Repurposing this title as the move destination of one of the other lists is exactly what I proposed. The discussion is fundamentally about whether there's any value in maintaining a massive A-Z master list alongside the other lists anymore, so AFD is the appropriate venue for that discussion — but deletion of this list would not preclude reusing the title for a different purpose, because deletion never precludes redirection or repurposing of its title to cover something else. So the ability to repurpose the title into something else is not a reason why we would need to retain the content of this list in its existing form, which is what a keep result would mandate. Bearcat (talk) 16:03, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your proposal is to move List of LGBT-related films by year to this space, however, List of LGBT-related films by year (which has multiple lists) is not the same as List of LGBT-related films (single list), it is in fact more Lists of LGBT-related films. This is something that should simply be a move that can be proposed in its talk page, discuss, move then adjust the content. Much simpler and less likely to result in unnecessary mistakes. Hzh (talk) 19:34, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bearcat, the goal is to preserve the attribution history. I agree that we don't need a list, but I do not agree that we need to explicitly delete the list as it never existed. The history of this goes back to 2003. The list now persists in more specific forms, and it has not been proven that these forms have never relied on the original list. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 13:42, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The matter of whether the by-year lists ever relied on this list or not is completely impossible to prove or disprove in either direction — how, exactly, is anybody supposed to prove anything either way about whether the year lists were compiled by pulling films directly from this list, or from the same outside sources that were used to build this list? And secondly, as of the time that the year lists started getting spun out, the list was half as long or less as it is now — so by far the largest group of involved films were (a) added to both the year set and this list concurrently, (b) added to the year set first and then added here later, or (c) added to the year lists and never actually added here at all, and thus never relied on the existence of this list as their source. And even for the far smaller number of films that were already in this list before the by-year lists got spun out, the question of whether the by-year lists relied on external sources, or on this master list per se, is not my responsibility to prove. And precisely because external sources do exist for the classification, and we're supposed to be relying on those outside sources rather than self-citing ourselves in violation of WP:CIRCULAR, the question of whether the by-year lists relied on this list or on the external sources isn't even an important consideration at all. Bearcat (talk) 14:55, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said, I agree with converting this into a "lists" article. I don't understand why you want to delete the entire page history. Look at list of science fiction films. It redirects to lists of science fiction films, and we can see the oldest edits going back to 2001. That's what I favor. Not the outright deletion of the original topic editing, which was completely valid and likely spun off into the specific lists. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 15:42, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Here is an example of the need to preserve copyright. Editor Dev920 began "splitting list" on July 31, 2007 with List of LGBT-related films and List of LGBT-related films by year. Later, in August 2012, editor Lugnuts split that (and contributions in between) out into individual years here. The page history of the original list should be preserved.

Followup by proposer: This article is >10 years old, and has collected seven entries in the list:

  • arigatou: This in itself is perhaps notable, because yes, it is a famous bogus etymology. I can't believe that any native Japanese speaker would imagine this to be a loan word -- it is not written in katakana.
  • baba: This is probably a general phenomenon that there are very similar words across almost all languages.
  • chakku: This might indeed be thought by native speakers to be a loan word, but isn't.
  • chari: Nobody seems to know where this came from.
  • emoji: This is a recent import into English. No native speaker would imagine it was a loan into Japanese (of course moji came from Chinese originally).
  • garou: A very strained story... unreferenced.
  • neta: Yes, many Japanese speakers might not know its origin; it's written in katakana.

@T.c.w7468: The latest entry (emoji) is obviously good faith. But it really has no coherent connection to the other entries. I contemplated deleting it, but it is so unclear what the topic is supposed to be that it seems unfair to privilege the other entries above it. I can't see quite what the reference says, but it appears just to mention that this is unrelated to "emoticon". True, but not notable.

I would guess that anything up to 10% of the entire vocabulary of Japanese (or any other language!) would have faintly plausible mistaken guesses as to its meaning. I suggest that trying to collect a comprehensive list is therefore not encyclopedic. Imaginatorium (talk) 18:21, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: (I hope I'm formatting this correctly) I suppose what you are saying makes sense. I added the entry for emoji because I thought that the article was for a list for words mistaken for gairaigo in general, as opposed to ones being commonly mistaken specifically by Japanese people. The reference was taken from other Wikipedia articles referencing the fact that the two aren't related, and was meant to demonstrate that the statement was true, which at the time of editing I thought was sufficient for this article. Perhaps it was bad practice on my part. I do not feel confident enough in my understanding of Wikipedia's policy to form an opinion on whether or not this article should be deleted, though I think you do have a good case. I'm just writing this in case my (flawed) thought process behind the edit becomes useful for further discussion. T.c.w7468 (talk) 19:07, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NACADEMIC. This is a stub of an article, with very little information and only a list of papers. This doesn't show that they've had a significant impact on their discipline, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. Nor have they received a highly prestigious award. In fact, they appear to fail all criteria of NACADEMIC, which is why we are here.

  • Weak delete. The strongest argument for notability seems to me to be that he cofounded the CIRI Human Rights Data Project, which is mentioned in the infobox but not in the article text; see this UConn Today article about the book he co-wrote (not cited in the article). I'm not sure that's enough. What tips me toward recommending deletion is that Richardsdl!!, saying he was the article subject, tried to have it deleted in 2016: blanking, speedy templating. (There were also photo substitutions by Sophia1778, who apparently said on Commons that she was Richards' wife.) In cases of marginal notability, we usually respect the subject's wishes. Things are complicated by suggestions that the article creator, Daver68, was Richards ... but I'm going to assume that if that was so, the subject had a change of heart about the article, and come down on the side of honoring the request. Since Daver68 has been notified of this discussion, I'll also drop notifications on the other two account talk pages in addition to my pings here.

  • Comment. There is a David L. Richards whose book Poland Spring: A Tale of the Gilded Age, 1860-1900 has multiple reviews on JSTOR, but I strongly suspect he is a different person than the one described here. For instance this site describes the Poland Spring author as a 1997 graduate alum of the University of New Hampshire, at a time overlapping the subject's time as a doctoral student at Binghampton. The same search did not turn up any reviews of Violence Against Women and the Law, however. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:29, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There is probably a case here for passing WP:PROF#C1, based on GScholar citation results. However, there do not seem to be any other significant indicators of notability, and, since the subject has requested deletion in the AN thread linked above, I think we should respect his wishes here.

There he was acknowledged for playing a critical role in maintaining the CIRI Human Rights Data Project, although it was critical of some of his interpretations of that data set in published peer reviewed journals. His work was also the central focus of the journal article Seeing Double: Human Rights Impact through Qualitative and Quantitative Eyes, Hafner-Burton, Emilie ; Ron, James, World Politics, 2009, Vol.61(2), pp.360-401.

Inadequately referenced WP:BLP of a television personality and male beauty pageant contestant. Neither of these are "inherent" notability freebies that guarantee him a Wikipedia article just because he exists, so getting him over the notability bar requires demonstrating him as the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG. But of the five sources here, two are WordPress blogs, one is a podcast and one is his own self-published Patreon, none of which are notability-supporting sources at all -- and the only one that is an acceptable, notability-assisting reliable source, The Georgia Straight, is not enough all by itself if it's the only acceptable, notability-assisting reliable source you can show. GNG requires a lot more than just one piece of real-media journalism amid a bunch of blogs and podcasts. Note that despite the earlier discussion, this is not eligible for immediate speedy as it's written and sourced differently than the original version -- but the sourcing being shown here is still not actually changing the notability equation at all. Bearcat (talk) 17:36, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Three additional sources have been added; however, two (Vancouver Courier and Daily Hive) are still community hyperlocals, which are okay for verification of facts but not contributors of notability points; and the Red Deer Advocate, which is a start down the correct path as a real daily newspaper but still not enough. And all are still stacked on top of each other in violation of the citation overkill principle that we do not need three or four separate citations to be piled on top of each other as reduplicated support for the same fact.

It is just due to single event that is 'Oporadhi'. all of source are single event related news. and also fail WP:NMUSIC because he just Nominated on 'Meril Prothom Alo Awards' So, isn't means that he did won something or receive any an award.

  • Keep, If you consider him as a musician, the article should be kept. According to second criteria a musician should have a single/album on country's music chart. His song "Oporadhi" is the only and first Bangladeshi song to feature on Global Chart of YouTube. If you consider him in the criteria of any biography, he is notable. His song "Oporadhi" is the only and first Bangladeshi song to feature on YouTube Global Chart. And the news was published by international (Deustche Welle), Indian (Ei Samay, News18) and Bangladeshi (Dhaka Tribune, Prothom Alo, Kaler Kantho) media. The song was so popular that it was covered by crickerers. This song was before Adele and Taylor Swift's song on YouTube Global Chart ([see this link in English]). A people can get much coverage for single event. If his/her article fulfils notability criteria, he/she will be notable. For example, Dinesh Phadnis, Aditya Srivastava, Dayanand Shetty, Shivaji Satam etc.--S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 04:15, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Alif does not pass WP:MUSICBIO criterion #2 because the Global Chart of YouTube is an unsuitable chart, it is a WP:SINGLENETWORK one. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:56, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    There is a point on WP:MUSICBIO that if a person has a single or album on a country's topchart, the person will be notable. How many song he/she sang or how old was he/she, it doesn't matter at the criteria. There is no WP:TOOSOON possibility at that article as he made historical record. I think all will be agree with me that Oporadhi was the most popular Bangladeshi song in April and May of 2018. There is a point on @Worldbruce: words. If you see Alexa Ranking of Bangladesh YouTube is in the second position and Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon, Yahoo are behind YouTube. Adele and Taylor Swift's song were behind a Bangladeshi song on YouTube Global Chart and the Bangladeshi song isn't the most popular song at that time, I won't believe it (I think anybody won't believe it).
    There are clear references of his historical record. His song is the first Bangladeshi song to feature on YouTube Global Chart. The news was featured on most of the newspapers and tv channels of Bangladesh.--S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 05:26, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @S. M. Nazmus Shakib: The popularity of YouTube is not the point. The reliability of the chart is the point. When the criterion says, "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart", you have to read the linked material to understand what qualifies as an acceptable chart. According to WP:SINGLENETWORK, the YouTube Global Chart doesn't count. Basically it's meaningless. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:44, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @Worldbruce: Yes, your words are true as YouTube is not only way to listen music. But there is a point on Wikipedia:Notability (music) that a notable singer has to win or been nominated for a major award. Meril Prothom Alo Awards is a major award in the enterteinment arena of Bangladesh. But, according to nominator's words, the article doesn't fill the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (music) as he didn't win and there are two delete votes as per nom.--S. M.

    @NahalAhmed: check criteria no. 8 of Wikipedia:Notability (music) where it was written that a musician who was nominated for a major award or won a major award is notable. Meril Prothom Alo Awards is a major award in the entertainment arena of Bangladesh. He was nominated there as Best Singer (link on the article).--S. M.

If a singer's single secure its place on national chart, he/she will be notable according to notability guideline of Wikipedia. And the singer has his song. He also made historical record. His song Oporadhi is the first Bangladeshi song to feature on YouTube Global Chart. So, his article also fulfils general notability guideline. And Oporadhi is not a duet song, it is a single by Arman Alif and It is not his only single. So, it should not be deleted.--S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 10:36, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The basic notability criteria for biography is: "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." This biography subject clearly meets this criteria as he has got significant coverage in at least 3 leading mutually independent daily newspapers in Bangladesh. The "Too soon" concept applies when the basic criteria is not clearly met. -- Arman (Talk) 13:01, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Draft: Basically he is known for his song "Oporadhi", its clear WP:BLP1E. I have no doubt that he has a lot of news coverage in Bangladesh. But for a single song, he is a notable person or pass WP:NMUSIC I do not believe it. Let wait for some time to let him win any music competition or award.--Shahidul Hasan Roman (talk) 08:31, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am on a borderline with regards to the notability of this politician to warranty a wikipedia page. The first source is primary and much of a blog, the second is a government parlimentary site which does'nt mention him. The third is but only a searching link. The last source is more or less similar to the first. There is not much significant coverage of the individual in reliable independent sources that would signify his notability as a politician or real estate mogul 10MB (talk) 11:45, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I'm all for saying that just because he passes an SNG that doesn't mean he's not notable. But as GPL93 points out there is verifiable evidence he is a member of a national legislature. While English is the official language, there are many other languages and I would reasonable expect for a member of the national legislature that there is notability proving sourcing somewhere. As the nom missed that he can be verified as a member of that body I'm going to think an adequate BEFORE was not done and default to the SNG. Barkeep49 (talk) 02:12, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - (Not the clearest case, would like some feedback) I found some decent coverage: [20], [21], [22], [23] - WP:THREE? Four different outlets providing, admittedly not aware of them before now. A fair amount of sustained "routine" coverage too.

  • [24] - not at all, routine match report; [25] - interview, not used to establish notability; [26] - routine transfer report; [27] - could be fine, but I can't judge whether the source is notable. Still a strong delete. SportingFlyer T·C 19:05, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Appreciate your response! A match report that exists because of Troshupa - he's the story. Interviews seem to split opinion, some say they count some don't - is there proper consensus for them not counting? R96Skinner (talk) 21:23, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Match reports are WP:MILL and don't count towards notability, and interviews on the source topic are too close to the source topic to count towards notability. There are some exceptions, I don't see that here in this case. He's simply at the moment a non-notable semi-professional footballer. SportingFlyer T·C 00:45, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think the article just meets WP:V with Herald.ie (ref #4), RSSSF [28] (listed at WP:WPFLINKS), and this book by Grüne. I don't know if this page (ref #3) is from a reliable source. I don't know if this History Ireland article is about the same Jack Kelly. I don't have ref #2 and can't access this article to see if there's any substantive mention of the player. But it seems we can verify that there was a Jack Kelly who played for St James's Gate and was the top scorer in the inaugural season of the League of Ireland, which strongly suggests to me that if we were to search Irish newspaper archives in 1921–1922, we would find articles written about this player, and there may even be coverage in books about Irish football in the 1920s. Not to canvas a !vote, but because I think she's familiar with historical Irish sources, I'm pinging BrownHairedGirl in case she has suggestions for places that might be searched, and also GiantSnowman to take a look at these new sources per his note above. Right now, though, I'm not seeing any GNG or reliable secondary sources upon which we can base this article, but I'm strongly feeling WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES. Levivich 03:37, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Levivich, football isn't one of my interests, so I;m not the best person to ask for sources. A note at WT:IE might do better.
My own thoughts are that the contemporary newspapers might help. I doubt that the (subscriber-only) Irish Times has much on football, tho other archives are probably available through the (subscriber-only) British Newspaper Archive, which has archived some 19th-century Irish papers and continued some into the 20th-century. See e.g. https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/titles/evening-herald-dublin

  • I have to agree there must be sources ... being the top scorer in the first season of a 100-year old league is surely of note ... there's no end of match reports in Irish newspapers in the 1920s that I can find, even in other nations of Kelly scoring for big stuff. But hard to find anything in-depth ... normally books would be the prime source for that era. I did add one 1922 source for the FAI goal. It's not an easy search term, that's for sure. I'm surprised I can't find even a passing mention of his death ... is the date correct? Nfitz (talk) 23:17, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete – reluctantly, because I'm unable to find anything, and without sources, we can't write a proper article. Levivich 02:15, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Kelly was my grandfather. There are not many sources, especially online ones of soccer in the early days in Ireland. I have read match reports on microfilm in a Dublin library but not online. Match reports tend to be sparse and lacking description. The Thomas Walsh book is out of print but is available in the national library of Ireland. The Joe Dodds book is also out of print but I have a copy, provided by Joe himself. I have researched my grandfather extensively and for now there aren't any other sources that I can find. Eoghan Rice who has contributed to this is a respected soccer historian in Ireland. As more and more materials become available online it may be possible to add to this article in the future. I have just added further references to this and will do my best to find more. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoe shine boy mo (talkcontribs) 09:04, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a family court judge, not reliably sourced as clearing our notability standards for judges. Family court (which is the level of jurisprudence that covers things like divorce and adoption and child custody issues) is not an inherently notable level of judgeship that guarantees every family court judge a Wikipedia article just because she exists, but this article is not demonstrating any evidence that she's much more notable than the norm for her level of significance -- the notability claims here are that she won not-inherently-notable local awards and that she appeared on national television talk shows to talk about cases. But every award that exists is not always an automatic free pass over WP:ANYBIO -- and she has to be the subject being spoken about by other people, not the person doing the speaking about other things, for television content to be a notability claim. And the vast majority of the content here is referenced to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and the little bit that is actually real third-party third-person journalism about her is purely local news coverage of the type that any local figure can simply and routinely expect to receive. Nothing here passes the ten year test for enduring significance, and none of it is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have much better sourcing than this.

  • Weak keep - while I could quibble with some of the claims in the article, she does seem to pass WP:GNG. As far as my standards go, she would not normally pass the bar, pardon the pun. However, the media has treated her as an expert in her area of law, and she presided over a major case. So those are factors in her favor. I know that winning an award from a regional or specialty bar association isn't that big of a deal. I think this article should be kept, but it needs some editing down.

  • Delete: If there were a list of dungeons and dragons monsters article worth throwing this in, it might be worth redirecting. As it is, this is completely referenced to D&D books. I could see referencing to the autobiography of Gary Gygax as being a borderline real-world information source, but I do not believe such a document exists. Also, by the time this line of monsters was dreamed up, Gygax had ceased associating with the property. I think WP:NOT includes several reasons to not include indiscriminate lists of D&D information. "Wikipedia is not for something you thought up one day" applies to pretty much all D&D articles (though it is not in WP:NOT). Rockphed (talk) 15:14, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well... there are plenty of lists of D&D monsters, but they are all up for deletion because they are literal directory listings without context.

  • Delete per nom and ZVCVBNM. It suffers the same problems as the already mentioned and nominated lists. This one does try to include non-primary sources, but actually looking at them reveals that they are not about the monsters at all - they are generally information pages or reviews on some of the D&D books, and either don't talk about the monsters included at all, or mention them in extreme passing. The only non-primary source here that is actually talking about 5th edition monsters in detail is the one on the Oblex, and having one in-depth look at a singular monster does not justify the rest of the list. Rorshacma (talk) 15:08, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I think D&D players (which, full disclosure, includes me) have much too high an opinion of the noteworthiness of their hobby. As I mentioned in one of the other deletion discussions, I don't think edition specific lists are viable. Maybe a list of the D&D specific takes on monsters (both the monsters they invented and ones they uniquely interpreted) would be viable, but this list does not have sources to support its notability.

  • Merge all just have one list article listing all the monsters from the series. There are many articles that exist for these monsters unique to the Dungeons & Dragons franchise.

  • Keep per WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. It's a professional chorus with years of history in Saint Louis (founded 1954). A history of the chorus is given in pages 49-54 of The Pullitzer Prize Archive -Cultural Criticism 1969-1990: From Architectural Damages to Press Imperfections, Heinz-Dietrich Fischer, Erika J. Fischer, Walter de Gruyter, K. G. Saur Verlag, 1992 (see here) Their concerts have been regularly critically reviewed in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This review, for example, described the ensemble as "the region’s finest a cappella choir". Here are other reviews: [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], etc. There's over one hundred concerts reviewed in that newspaper alone. Professional regional ensembles for classical music are typically verified on wikipedia through critical reviews in their city's paper. Additionally, the ensemble's work at performing and recording unusual repertoire has led to it's appearance in a number of academic publications; including [43], and [44]. Here is a snippet view of a Gramaphone review of one of their recordings. The chorus was also the main subject of an article in The Classical Outlook, Volume 77, Page 29.4meter4 (talk) 01:46, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
