  • Delete the purpose of a disambiguation page is not to list every possible usage of a term (WP:NOTDICT), it is to help users navigate between different Wikipedia articles with the same name. Since there is only one article with this name, the page serves no navigational purpose. Spicy (talk) 23:02, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, same reasoning as Spicy. Schazjmd (talk) 00:45, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've heard "phud" used for Ph.D. on a number of occasions (I have this qualification myself), also referring to a senile professor. The term may be more common in the UK. I have to admit the vagina definition is new to me, however, that and the person with the name "Phud" are only added for completeness. I'd argue I found the term on other websites (I'll add links if you wish), the term does exist and this justifies inclusion. New words appear all the time, circulating in use before becoming mainstream and this is just such an example. Do we remove "Mackem" because it's not commonly heard of outside the UK?Beefy_SAFC
  • Okay, so what changes do you want me to make to have it kept?
  • I'll point out I had a page on a village called "Matho" in Northern India deleted due to someone saying it was rubbish, even though I'd included a photo of said place. This is not going to into a repeat of that, an instance where I ended up being able to restore the page three months later?Beefy_SAFC —Preceding undated comment added 09:59, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable artist, no significant coverage in reliable sources. The references are identical, and are from the art gallery studios that show his work. COI, creator of article owns this artists work.

  • Keep Henri Vincent-Anglade should be kept and tagged for more citations. It has been up since 2014. Not sure why you would flag this for deltion and not René Vincent, which has no citations. I agree that Henri Vincent-Anglade does not have enough secondary sources, but at least give the Wikipedia community, and me, a chance to see the artist and add to the page. Assume a bit of WP:AGF. I enjoy Wikipedia and doing the research. Since it is an ecyclopedia, it should cover artists that have public works. --Greg Henderson (talk) 23:06, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Greg Henderson, you are free to AfD the other article, or PROD it. I determined that this artist was non-notable after the BEFORE search I performed. It seems interesting that this artist is in your personal collection as indicated just after you created the article. That may be a WP:COI since you might have a financial stake in this artist's notability. Netherzone (talk) 00:28, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:TNT. I found him in the benezit ([1]) and I believe he's notable, but that article is a copyvio. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 10:04, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My aticle was a translation from french to english and was not verbatim and gave credit to author. I have since been in touch with the author of the page and she has given me permission to use the picture and info. I've added the link to Benezit Dictionary of Artists to this page. Sounds like from above, Comte0 believes he's notable. --Greg Henderson (talk) 15:04, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, somewhat reluctantly. The artist has had some works appear in the higher level auctions such as Christie's and Bonham's. However, besides the Benezit and montmart.org sources, I can find nothing at all. Willing to change my vote if someone can add at least one other decent source. Curiocurio (talk) 01:14, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Thanks to Greg Henderson below, I was able to find at least mentions in numerous early 20th century French sources, all respectable. With the Benezit entry, I think he scrapes over the GNG bar. Curiocurio (talk) 02:05, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Curiocurio A lot of Henri Vincent-Anglade showings in Paris are coming up on hathitrust.org searches. For example, he mentioned in the catalog of the Salon. 1901 - 1909; and in 15 periodicals. On archive.org/, there is a 1906 article that reads: "...bequeathed to the Beauvais Museum a picture by Vincent-Anglade entitled "Intimate," once shown at the [Paris] Salon See the Paris Letter. --Greg Henderson (talk) 21:56, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This magazine appears to be of recent vintage (2017) and a student production at Oxford University. Nothing wrong with that, but Sufficient Independent Coverage Required nonetheless, and that is lacking. Almost all provided sources are either in-house or listings. The one semi-substantial other bit is this, which frankly strikes me as an arranged puff piece. (I'd also like to add that this 'About' page makes me want to erect a barricade and start throwing bricks...) I've had no look finding anything online to fill the coverage gap; suggest insufficient notability for an article at this point. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 21:31, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable "actress, musician, designer, and cheerleader". I can find no significant independent coverage to support notability for any of those occupations, nor for general notability. Appears to be an autobiography. Schazjmd (talk) 21:25, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per GNG. Notable people impersonating notable people in an episode which received sufficient coverage by independent reputable publications. The article should be expanded, not deleted, and actually this would make a nice little Good article with a bit of work. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:35, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep meets GNG, concurring with Another Believer. Gleeanon409 (talk) 00:13, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Clearly passes GNG. The article cites plenty of standalone coverage in publications like Billboard and The New York Times. Armadillopteryxtalk 06:11, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That May be true for now, but it’s hard to say long term that the article won’t evolve, which, as I can attest, takes only a determined editor who does the research and the work. AfD is about the possibility that an article can become good or better, not if the material can be also found on other articles.
    I know this can become a good article because *every* episode is reviewed by multiple sources. Gleeanon409 (talk) 09:18, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) This article isn't a stub (and as others have noted, it could easily be expanded), so I'm not sure how if they're unlikely to grow beyond stubs they probably shouldn't exist applies. List of RuPaul's Drag Race episodes doesn't include episode descriptions at all, and RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars (season 3)#Episodes includes much less episode-specific content than this article. Plenty of FA-class articles average fewer than 25 views a day (e.g. here and here and here), so that's not an indicator of the subject's value to the encyclopedia. I bet the page views would go up if we just linked to this article from the bodies of some other articles (e.g. contestants who participated)—right now, most of what links to it is just from the navbox. Armadillopteryxtalk 09:42, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • With respect, that's a poor reason. The topic is over two years old. If it was going to receive more coverage it would have done by now. While I agree that it has received some coverage from notable sources, the information contained is limited and as I've said its not really a viable search term. If people want to see this information (there's very little that isn't already at RuPaul's_Drag_Race_All_Stars_(season_3)#Episodes or List of RuPaul's Drag Race episodes), they're more likely to access it from the article about the season. From a user experience point of view, it makes no sense to make them click through to this article where 80-90% of the content is repeated from the main article. Its sounds a bit like people want it purely for GA purposes (broad coverage is part of GA criteria) - which isn't a dead certain anyway. If we think about it from an encyclopedia point of view and what's easier for fans, it would be containing the information on the main article page where it is more likely to be accessed and viewed (personal feelings aside). Also very few people know the actual names of the episodes. Armadillopteryx I'm sure Grey-necked wood rail Edgar Speyer had more views at the time they passed FA status and didn't have parent albums where the content could be contained so I think the viability of the search term does matter as does the page views when the content could be better contained elsewhere. ≫ Lil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 09:46, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's no reason to assume this entry will remain a stub forever. Just takes some volunteer(s) to expand. Sorry, Lil-unique1, but I don't see reason to delete this page. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:08, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Its more the fact that most people don't know the names of the episodes that that the page views clearly show its not a viable search term. If as fans of the show and members of the project we want others to see more of the content then its plainly obviously that the content should exist at the main article for the season because very few people navigate to or search for the individual episode. The episode titles are not widely known about or displayed or referred to. I feel like everyone who's voted keep so far is a longstanding member of the project so the votes aren't necessarily as objective as they should be. WP:EPISODE outlines this. I would also like to say that as a fan of the show I want the content to reach as many readers as possible and it is my belief that more people would reach the article contents on the main article for the series. It's logical. I will wait for some more neutral editors to comment and of course I will accept the community consensus on this though I will say ardently, IMO that GNG has not been met (coverage is not broad). ≫ Lil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 14:31, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • To me, that’s a reason to trim back what’s in the season articles and have a “Main article link” to the episode. But all the content will grow and improve with time.
    And we always direct readers to the best article to find information no matter the title. I’m not seeing any big concern. Gleeanon409 (talk) 15:01, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • A couple things:
  • most people don't know the names of the episodes that that the page views clearly show its not a viable search term – there are lots of reasons page views could be low, some of which I mentioned above; not sure how you've decided the reason is so obviously the one you state. Or why you don't apply the same assumption to all articles with low page views, including obviously notable subjects like the many FAs that fall into that category.
  • I want the content to reach as many readers as possible – as I and Gleeanon409 have mentioned, the way to get the most content to readers would be to expand and link this article from the body of more prominent pages, such as the season page and contestant pages.

Fails WP:LISTN by a long shot, outside of the real-world analog Impossible color. Better covered at the corresponding TV Tropes page, Fictional Colour; any items not already covered there can be added.

  • Keep The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy has an entry for color and this is prima facie evidence that the topic is encyclopedic. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:55, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:LISTN. Fictional colors may or may not be notable, but a list of them isn't. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:39, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As stated by the nom, this topic fails WP:LISTN. The entry in the book mentioned by Andrew is almost entirely about real colors, and what they symbolize in fantasy and science fiction stories. There is only two sentences that mention three specific examples of fictional colors, which is not even close to being WP:SIGCOV. I've searched for additional sources under a variety of different terms and descriptions that might be synonymous, and have found nothing but some false postives. A brief mention in another article, such as color, stating the fact that fiction occasionally makes use of made-up colors, might be appropriate, but the massive list of badly sourced trivia does not need to be kept, and as the actual lead-in to this article is completely unsourced, there is nothing to preserve or merge. I should also point out that while a few of the entries appear to be blue-links, not a single one of them actually leads to an article on the color in question, making this useless as a navigational tool, as well. Rorshacma (talk) 22:42, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I transwikied the full article history to https://list.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_fictional_colors Dream Focus 00:36, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete / merge. I think impossible color could use an 'in fiction' section listing some examples, though there is very little if anything in the current list to rescue. The source Andrew mentioned could be perhaps used for such a section, though as he did not bother to link it, well, it is hard to quickly judge whether it is relevant (if anyone gives me a link to it I can try to create such a section, if the content is helpful enough). There is no evidence provided it would be relevant to the list discussed here, which so far seems to fail LISTN. If anyone creates such a section, the fictional color redirect should be retargetted accordingly. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:32, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've added a bit to Impossible_color#In_fiction. I think there is more to be said about it, if you for example search by the names of some fictional colors, there is surprisingly a lot of hits that seem to be related to literary analysis, for example, check the results you can get for "ulfire" and "jale". The current list has a lot of unsourced fancruft, but it is clear we need an article about colors and culture; note there is still no main article for Category:Color in culture. We may also have a problem with terminology, BEFORE for "fictional colors produces little, but I am getting a bit more for imaginary colors. Please see the sources I've added to the impossible color, I think at the very least referenced parts of the list should be merged there (well, except that upon closer review pretty much all the sources in the list are very poor, sigh). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:48, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, this topic fails WP:LISTN. The title is not a useful redirect, and I don’t think it would be due weight to include examples at the potential target article. Devonian Wombat (talk) 13:52, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per rationale given above. However, shift the various fictional words for infrared and ultraviolet to "in fiction" sections on those pages. Also, the words invented by Majliss Larson for Pawns and Symbols could be added to the Biology subsection on the Klingon article, making clear they come from a tie-in novel.

  • Comment. Per my arguments above and WP:SOFTDELETE, I strongly suggest just redirecting this to Impossible_color#In_fiction I created. I believe that there is potential for expansions and with non-primary refs, a number of fictional colors seems to be mentioned in various works analyzing literary works, etc. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:58, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete some fictional colors may be notable (with our record on creating huge numbers of articles on very minor things in works of fiction, the fact we have articles on some is not of itself notable) but they are not notable as a concept at a level that would justify having a list of them, especially a list that includes ones that are not notable on their own.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:34, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect per Piotrus. I expect the topic of fictional colors is notable. pburka (talk) 19:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or redirect to the section described by Piotrus. It's always better to summarize the most important aspects in a section of prose than to try to create a questionably notable list of indiscriminate details. This topic doesn't have enough coverage in third party sources to meet the WP:GNG, but there's some verifiable material here that makes for a healthy section, in the context of a more notable and well-defined topic. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:14, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- I agree with the above posters. On top of that, many of these colours are not fictional at all. A fictional alien species that can perceive ultraviolet does not make ultraviolet fictional. Reyk YO! 22:39, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The ref bombing is a mere facade as this is a promotional piece for a subject that lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources. Half the sources used in the article are either not entirely about her & the other half which appear in reliable sources are mere interviews hence not independent of her hence doesn’t satisfy WP:GNG.

  • Keep:the subject of the article meets WP:GNG and WP:NCORP because it has significant independent secondary media coverage. The reason that only one award won by the subject is not significant enough to make it notable does not apply because awards are not part of the primary notability guidelines. But this same award has made the subject more notable because the subject received significant coverage when it was bestowed with the award. Kindly keep, do not delete. John combo (talk) 6:21, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep: the organization is notable for a WP entry based on a quick search conducted and the analysis of some of the sources cited in the article. That the organization has won only an award should not be the determinant of its notability as there are thousands of notable organizations for WP entry without an award per WP guidelines. This award is an added advantage to the notability of the subject because it received significant mentions in independent secondary sources when it was honoured with the award. See these: [[6]] [[7]]. The subject also received significant mentions in independent secondary sources when it was appointed PR Agency of what appears to be a reputable conglomerate financial institution. Checks in some of the sources cited show that the appointment followed a competitive process in which a number of PR firms participated as can be seen here [[8]] [[9]] . The financial institution that appointed the subject of this article is an independent organization and its announcement of the subject as its PR agency in secondary sources should count for the notability of the subject.

  • Keep - The claim that this could apply to almost any notable figure in many time periods and places strikes me as dubious. And as Postdlf mentions above, this could easily be broken down into sub-articles (and should be, as part of the process of expanding and improving the list.

    • I would not say that "most notable people enslaved other people", but I would say that is principally because of recentism. Slavery existed in China, it existed in ancient Rome, in the Ottoman Empire... etc. And it is documentable for many many people articles in Wikipedia.

    • This blanking is completely unacceptable. You've really made a habit recently out of taking wrecking balls to clearly fixable content, and showing up just to !vote delete for "problems" easily fixed. If an entry is missing that should be on the list, add it. If an entry lacks an inline citation, add it. If you are interested in doing neither, move along and let those who can edit constructively do so. postdlf (talk) 19:08, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • The burden is on the person who adds the entry to source it. The burden on anyone else is to remove everything that is unsourced unless they can find a source, but they have the responsibility to remove an entry if there is not a source. It is time we stop perpetuating these horrid lists.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:14, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • Try reading all of WP:V: "Whether and how quickly material should be initially removed for not having an inline citation to a reliable source depends on the material and the overall state of the article. In some cases, editors may object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references; consider adding a citation needed tag as an interim step. When tagging or removing material for lacking an inline citation, please state your concern that it may not be possible to find a published reliable source and the material therefore may not be verifiable. If you think the material is verifiable, you are encouraged to provide an inline citation yourself before considering whether to remove or tag it." postdlf (talk) 19:22, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Every entry in an article like this should be sourced within the article. We should not have any blank accusations of slave ownership without any sourcing. This is just plain wrong. Lots and lots of these articles are ascribing all sorts of things without any good sourcing at all. It needs to stop and removing such things is totally justified. If the entries can be sourced than add sources. There is no justification for this inclusion of all sorts of people on the list with absolutely no sourcing.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:12, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • So fix it by adding sources. The other lists you've indiscriminately blanked recently all had sources for the entries in the linked articles, so those could clearly be migrated over to the lists just as here. As the internally unsourced entries in this list are dead and so not subject to BLP, there is no urgency and so no justification for blanking. If you think an entry is incorrect and therefore that the inclusion is unverifiable, that's a different story, but you just seem not to care either way because you're clearly not taking the time to actually see if it can be verified, not even by looking at the linked article. It's hard not to read that as intentional disruption and it will stop. postdlf (talk) 19:19, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • That's what we did with List of entertainers who performed in blackface over the last month, and I think that page is much improved.

It's not rocket science, it just requires a few people who care to work on it and then keep an eye on it. — Toughpigs (talk) 19:22, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why the undue weight?". Coolabahapple (talk) 13:43, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • That English Wikipedia has a bias towards topics related to English-speaking countries and recent history isn't undue. If you examine some of those thousands of Romans, you'll notice that most of their pages are permastubs because we know almost nothing about, e.g. Acidinus. We simply have access to more and better sources for 18th century people than 1st century people. pburka (talk) 18:22, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Preferably Delete -- This has the feel of ATTACK article. However I suspect that I am in a minority; so I offer an alternative, which is to split. Part of my reason for this is that almost every prominent person in the American South and West Indies will have owned slaves, so that this is too universal a characteristic for the list to be useful. I would suggest that this be split into separate lists for each American colony/state. In those areas, it would be more useful to categorise (or list) non-slave owners. I doubt it is useful to combine these early modern slave owners with those of earlier periods as "slavery" was a somewhat different institution. One might have slave -owner lists for those periods, but, again, it is likely that every prominent Greek or Roman had slaves. I thus doubt that such lists are useful.

Non-notable book series, in which its article is already very weak (pretty much a list of books and characters with in-universal tone and completely no citations). The only news articles I could find to mention My Weird School (such as an Education Week article and this New York Times artile) just have trivial mentions. There's a Common Sense Media review but I don't think that's adequate (the Plugged In review wouldn't be adequate either). Perhaps merge this article with the article for its author, Dan Gutman. ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 18:11, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: In addition to the nominator's list of sources, I also added a couple more newspaper articles to the page (The Herald News, The Morristown Daily Record) and the Kirkus Reviews listing for the first book. It's not a lot, but I think that collectively this demonstrates notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 19:34, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Toughpigs: Could you summarise the Herald News and The Morristown Daily Record sources for the benefit of those us who can't access them via newspapers.com? It's not clear from the article whether they contain substantial discussion of the series, or mostly address the author but touch on the series in passing, or somewhere in between. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 22:29, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. The Morristown article is about the author going to schools and talking to kids about how he became a writer. Early on, it says, "Gutman has written more than 90 books during his career, including his very successful My Weird School and The Baseball Card Adventure series, but his books weren't always thought of as a big deal." There's another sentence later on that describes the series, and in the three quotes from kids, the only book mentioned is My Weird School. It's also the only book pictured. So the article as a whole is predicated on the fact that Gutman is a successful author, and My Weird School is the primary thing that made him successful.
The Herald News article is entirely about My Weird Writing Tips, a special book in the My Weird School series that uses the series' characters and setting to teach kids how to write.
By the way, you can get free access to Newspapers.com through the Wikipedia Library Card Platform. You should check it out, it's really cool. :) — Toughpigs (talk) 23:52, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect and selectively merge (i.e. merge the sourced prose, not the lists) to Dan Gutman. The sourcing isn't sufficient to satisfy WP:GNG: of five sources cited in the article, only one actually deals primarily with the series. There's some coverage of individual books in the series, but I don't think we can use coverage of those books to establish notability for the series as a whole (this is not quite what WP:NOTINHERITED says but it's along the same lines). I haven't been able to find any other sources. (With thanks for the helpful summaries to Toughpigs, whose recommendation I may well take up.) – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:26, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep following Megalibrarygirl's improvements. It's still my view that the reviews of individual books do nothing to establish the notability of the series, but the two references that review multiple volumes, in combination with the Common Sense Media page, are sufficient. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:58, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep/Merge to Dan Gutman. I'm pretty much on the fence on this one. Most of the in-depth sources are focused on the author, and only mention the series as part of the wider discussion on his work, which could easily be included on his page. But, there are a few brief reviews on some of the individual books, and the one on the series as a whole, that might make it worthwhile to keep this separate. So, I am fine with either option, depending on the rest of the consensus. At the very least, it could use some cleanup, and remove some of the stuff like the unsourced, bare-bones character list. Rorshacma (talk) 18:28, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I've found a ton of reviews of the books in the series and more information which I added to the article. It wouldn't make sense to have an article on each part of the series and reviews of individual books do make mention to the series as a whole. I hope that my copyedit might sway Arms & Hearts and Rorshacma to change their !votes. Hop over to the article and see the rewrite I did and the sources I added. As an anecdote, as a librarian, I can attest to the huge popularity of this series among kiddos coming to the library. Before COVID-19, those books were flying off our library shelves and I constantly had to replace the well-read copies. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:34, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

      • You're right about the popularity angle, PrincessPandaWiki. I brought it up mostly because I thought it was interesting and sometimes it shows that even if things are off our own radar, that doesn't mean they aren't important to others. I think popularity can show possible notability. But it's totally not a slam dunk! Personally, I would never have heard of the series before if I wasn't a public librarian! My kids never read the series. Glad you liked the sources. If you need full text, let me know :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:13, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - He is discussed in some depth in Politika. Looking through a translation of the site's "About Us" page shows that it's been publishing for over a century. The Wikipedia article on Politika refers to the publication as Serbia's "newspaper of record" (along with a quotation and reference to a reliable source). Some other sources appear to be more tabloid-style, but reading through the "About Us" pages and the stories about Baka Prase's popularity and reception in Serbia shows that he is clearly a significant person. I wouldn't say that all 123 sources meet the criteria at WP:RS, but there's more than enough to meet GNG. GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:52, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Definitely Keep - Baka Prase is literally the central figure in Serbia at the moment! He is considered to be one of the Top 5 biggest idols of young people in Serbia, along with Tesla, Novak Djokovic and few others. Baka Prase is a page which should definitely stay on wikipedia, he literally took over the news in Serbia, being one of the most talked people in Serbia. I'm pretty positive that Baka Prase is at the moment more popular then numerous Serbian singers, actors etc, also there is so many references for Baka, though i agree probably some references do not meet the criteria, but there's so many references, news outlets about him. Also he has been on the Politika and Danas.rs, one of the strongest Serbian news sites.-User:PolePoz (talk) 6:49PM, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Michael Jackson impersonator[edit]

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

Previous AfD closed as a redirect to Impersonator; the content and sourcing now doesn't seem substantially different to its appearance then (diff, if that's helpful). Article was then recreated, but I'm not convinced it offers much in the way of evidence that the concept of a MJ impersonator is notable, in the same way that Elvis impersonator is; it's mostly just a list of "X impersonated Michael Jackson on occasion Y". Also a couple of the links are tenuous, thus reducing the amount to which their sources contribute to notability even if we ignore that it's mostly just a list:

  • In the film Maanthrikam, a character "dances in a 'weak imitation' of Jackson", which hardly counts as an impersonator.
  • Move Like Michael Jackson was a TV show finding people who could dance in his style, not impersonate him.

There are two sources present that might indicate notability:

  • [11], which is a New York Times article about someone called Lorena Turner photographing Jackson impersonators;
  • [12], which is a Daily Telegraph article about tributes being paid to him upon his death by impersonators.

Both the example of Lorena Turner (but sourced to the deprecated Daily Mail instead of the NYT) and the Telegraph article were present when the AfD was closed as "redirect" last time.

To be clear, I'm not denying that some instances of Jackson being impersonated are notable; I'm just not sure that what's here (or what can be found elsewhere) adds up to the WP:SIGCOV for an article on the concept. YorkshireLad  ✿  (talk) 12:42, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I vote to keep the article. Michael Jackson is certainly one of the most impersonated celebrities. That said, yes, a lot of work is going to be required to transform and improve the article so it reaches the level of the one on Elvis Presley's impersonators.

    Behindthekeys, They're reliable sources, but I'm not sure they give significant coverage of Michael Jackson impersonators as a topic (rather than of the fact that X played Michael Jackson once). As it stands, the references are for an WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of times someone's impersonated MJ. YorkshireLad  ✿  (talk) 21:19, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @Behindthekeys: Cultural impact of Michael Jackson would be a better merge target that could incorporate this easily. postdlf (talk) 15:13, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep i think, this (the phenomenon itself) is notable. For example also because the article receives 25,000 views per month.

  • Keep Because Jackson is one of the most impersonated artists of all time and since his death sources have said he’s the second most in the US, and the most impersonated around the world. The lead to this article looks as though it can be expanded and slightly improved, but the reasons to keep the article outweighs the reasons to not keep it, and that’s because there are no reasons for a deletion.

  • Delete. I see the usual empty arguments for keeping this page, such as "it's interesting to lots of people" and "there are a lot of examples of the subject". It doesn't matter how widespread a phenomenon is if it doesn't add up to a decent amount of specific coverage. This article is just an WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of stuff with little encyclopaedic value and not much potential for expansion. Popcornfud (talk) 11:42, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/redirect, I think this might be worth a couple sentences or short paragraph in Cultural impact of Michael Jackson, but I'm not seeing a basis for a standalone article (and if that changes then it can be WP:SPLIT back out). It can definitely be condensed based on what's there, particularly since many of the examples do not actually appear to be about impersonation, which (as the nom notes above) requires more than just "danced in the style of." postdlf (talk) 15:11, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    This seems eminently sensible. Possibly worth deleting and recreating as a redirect if either of these options taken; after the redirect outcome of the previous AfD was carried out, it seems to have just been undone to recreate the article.

  • Keep. The 2014 New York Times article is reasonably strong evidence for MJ impersonation as a concept being notable. The other cited sources are generally about individual impersonators. Those sources at least indicate that there's SIGCOV support for a list article (which is more or less how the article is currently structured). I would also not oppose a merge into Cultural impact of Michael Jackson, but it would be my second choice. Colin M (talk) 18:05, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and expand. It obviously needs work, but WP:ARTN says that the current state of an article doesn't affect the subject's notability. There are enough sources currently cited in the article that can be used to expand. — Toughpigs (talk) 18:05, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep − There are some exceptions, like Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson (and others celebrities like Madonna, Cher or Monroe) within this topic. We can see their examples as a topic in literature, arts and others references from popular culture. Even we have some photos in Commons about this topic on MJ. Maybe, Elvis impersonators could be helpful as a reference, or y'all can check out as well Madonna impersonators [es]. My second option would be merge into Cultural impact of Michael Jackson. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 19:34, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Lorena Turner, a teacher at Cal Poly Pomona, wrote a book called The Michael Jacksons dedicated to the topic of Jackson impersonators.

I made this article and will not feel bad if this article is deleted by backing up with reliable sources.

D.Lazard mentioned two things

1) Recent article that is sourced only by preprints.

My solution: Within 3 months I can make my research available in journal if that is standard. And I believe this should not be major concern even without being published in journal as long as you find it new. Also, I have added other journal and book citation


2)The equation is well known but not under this name.

My request: Please backup your statement with reliable source that exactly matches the Ballu equation and not the similar equations.

Why

Leonhard Euler has only substituted variable value of x as pi in well know Taylor series(1685-1731) or Madhava series(1340-1425){equation is e^(ix) = cos (x) + isin (x)} and presented to the world. We all know that variable value already includes the value of pi but it looks different and specific. Considering that difference as standard to not to fall in plagiarism list, I haven't found any equation that is same as Ballu equation.

My request is to support me if Ballu equation is not found elsewhere.

After it has appeared in a refereed journal, it may appear in Wikipedia articles that cite one or more such journals.

  • Comment. I have stroken "well known" in my rationale for deletion. I should have written "either wrong or well known". Because of the number of specialists of combinatorics who work since centuries on this kind of identities, it is impossible that such a simple formula can be both true and unknown. If by surprise I am wrong, we must wait that the referee of an established journal of combinatorics validates the formula and accept the paper for publication. D.Lazard (talk) 18:02, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes. As Donald Knuth wrote, Binomial coefficients satisfy literally thousands of identities, and for centuries their amazing properties have been continually explored. In fact, there are so many relations present that when someone finds a new identity, not many people get excited about it any more, except the discoverer. (The Art of Computer Programming, §1.2.6.)

    • We don't have to provide a source that says it already existed under another name. You — or anyone else wishing the article to be kept — have to provide sources that indicate it is a topic discussed, under the name "Ballu equation", in peer-reviewed mathematics journals, by people other than the inventor. This is nothing personal; it is the standard we as a community apply to all topics, because that is the kind of reference Wikipedia is trying to provide. See the No Original Research policy, the General Notability Guideline, and the guideline on using secondary sources. I will also note that multiple accounts suddenly starting to edit on this topic and no other will likely raise concerns about sock-puppetry. XOR'easter (talk) 22:52, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • And that is not the Ballu equation. You took it wrongly. Ballu equation is about stating the equation to remain unity. Also, reference provided by XOR'easter the power is n-k which implies the power keeps reducing by each term of summation series. It is different by many steps than what you have mentioned in the reference.
I can still use my previous example to state the standards to identify equation to be different. Madhava series(1340-1425){equation is e^(ix) = cos (x) + isin (x)} where Euler substituted just a pi in variable x and nothing more which makes it different.StolanAce (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's well known in either form. That the n'th difference and n'th derivative of (x^n / n!) is 1 is foundational in combinatorics, calculus, algebra. Dividing both sides of an equation on polynomials by a constant is not considered a serious difference and certainly not something that gives the divided equation a new name.

Except you, nobody talk of plagiarism. It is common in mathematics that several people prove independently the same result. This does not imply any plagiarism. About reliable sources, Wikipedia has a specific concept of reliable source (see WP:Reliable sources). Publications in preprint sites are not considered as reliable source for Wikipedia. Also, being new and reliably sourced is not sufficient for being included in Wikipedia. Notability is also required (see WP:Notability).

Lazard's rationale and other comments above---this is too easy to prove to be previously unknown if it had useful applications; I also note the applications given in the article seem a bit whimsical (at least as they are currently formulated). jraimbau (talk) 09:02, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto. ——Serial 17:59, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
  • "this is too easy to prove to be previously unknown" Again using the same example, Euler equation is hundred times simpler than this equation, and just one step deep or ahead from Taylor equation(1685-1731) or Madhava equation(1340-1425). So, wherever you mentioned applies to Euler equation but it wont happen not it should happen to my equation.
I think that is backwards. Tables (triangles) of differences for polynomial sequences are things that can be, and sometimes are, taught to children with no difficulty. Your result is that the triangle, applied to an n'th degree polynomial, ends in a particular easy to state way, and kids can convince themselves that is so. This is part of the basic yoga of how to take sums of k'th powers, discrete "differentiation" and "integration" and so on.
The relation between complex exponentials and geometry is much, much more subtle than this. The reason the version of this from India is not part of the Western terminology is that nobody in the West knew about it until hundreds of years after Euler and De Moivre. The formula specialized to x=pi is famous for aesthetic reasons, not because making that substitution once having the general formula was considered as a big innovation. 73.89.25.252 (talk) 16:26, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article is the product of a one off news story which has been ignored by mainstream credible journalism, and only cited by non-reputable right wing and conspiracy based news sources. Her testimony as a so called whistleblower has very serious, gaping credibility problems including an outright denial from the University she was working for (which is not based in Wuhan or mainland China) that she ever undertaken such research on "human to human transmission", and dubious claims about being a so called defector. The latter is why verifiable, mainstream media sources have ignored it. There is no proof she has any ties to the Chinese government or has any kind of insider information.

If one reads the Mail on Sunday account of her story, she offers no direct evidence to her claims whatsoever. It's all hearsay and speculation. She's not a whistleblower, she doesn't know anything Antonian Sapphire (talk) 21:12, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Do not delete. Let her talk, she can have her page and all her claims can be called out to what it is just claims till she is able to showcase herself.

  • Keep Dr Li-Meng Yan is a virologist and researcher at the University of Hong Kong, Centre of Influenza Research, who specializes in "investigations of infectious diseases or inflammation via different animal models. Her research has recently focused on the study of universal influenza vaccine, cross-reactive antibodies and cellular immunology." [1] This is not a conspiracy theorist. Yan is a professional and her specialization would make her a credible source on COVID-19. Not only this but, since she was a researcher in a Chinese university, it would put her in a position to know whether there was pressure to not talk about or publish research about human-to-human transmission. She would also know if the Chinese government was trying to stifle investigation by Hong Kong researchers of COVID-19 in mainland China, which she also claims happened. She has even more credibility since she has actually fled Hong Kong to make these statements. It does not make sense for her to have done that to perpetrate a hoax. From this record that she has as a professional, there is no reason to question her credibility as a whistleblower. It makes perfect sense that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the University of Hong Kong would attempt to discredit her since she is acting as a whistleblower against both parties. Therefore, the University of Hong Kong comments should not be taken as a debunking of her statements. Not only is her credibility quite solid, but her story also is not simply a "one-off news story." It is common knowledge that people in Hong Kong and Mainland China have disappeared for speaking out against or simply disagreeing with the CCP. There are even examples of Doctors in the mainland disappearing for trying to publish information about COVID-19. Dr Yan's claims are also consistent with previously supposed leaked documents. Several classified documents were supposedly leaked to news organization Epoch Times that back up Yan's claims.[2] One such document issued to regional health commissions and top-level biosafety labs in China, dated January 3rd from China's National Health Commission set out guidelines to "strengthen the management of biological samples and research activities with regard to 'the prevention and control of a major sudden outbreak of infectious diseases.'" The document stated, that agencies under the supervision of the provincial-level health commissions were “prohibited from providing biological samples, pathogens, and culture samples to any other institutes or individuals.” It also stated that these biological samples included blood samples, respiratory fluids, urine and faeces from patients. There were several other leaked documents from different districts that issued the same guidelines that COVID-19 had a high risk of transmitting person to person, should be treated with the highest caution by labs and researchers and was not to be disclosed. This is consistent with Yan's claim that Mainland China had stifled efforts of Hong Kong researchers to investigate the virus. It also shows that they were aware of evidence that COVID-19 could be transmitted person to person, yet the CCP did not disclose this. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also claims that the US government believes China covered up the extent of the coronavirus outbreak so they could stockpile on medical supplies.[3] All of this is a small part of mounting evidence that the Chinese government had a huge campaign of covering COVID-19 and the extent of its outbreak. Dr Li-Meng Yan's statement is part of this growing evidence. Until her statements are completely disproven, this must be kept on Wikipedia as a part of a record of this evidence and should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathanzachary56 (talkcontribs) 20:13, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Single Purpose Account contributing to this debate as its only edit and pushing political points. The Epoch Times is also not a trustworthy source at all and Wikipedia's guidelines have ruled against it- Antonian Sapphire (talk) 20:55, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Response: This is not a single purpose account. This is just the first time I have ever seen the need to make an account and I plan to use this account again if I see another time I feel my word would be useful. I am a new editor and I hope to use this account again. Also, none of what I said is a political point. I am trying to clearly state that Dr Yan is a credible person to talk about COVID-19. I have also been trying to show that her claims are even more credible because of how her claims are compatible and consistent with previously known facts about the CCP and their conduct with Hong Kong and the rest of China. If anything I stated was a political point, then this whole article is a political point since Dr Yan is talking about the supposed coverup of research and the fact that COVID-19 was human to human transmissible. Also, I now see that Epoch Times was deprecated in 2019 and I apologize. However, according to Wikipedia's list of sources, Epoch Times can still be referenced, just not to prove facts. I was not referencing them to perpetuate a conspiracy theory or show a fact. I was citing them to show documents leaked to them that talk about how the government had attempted to cover up the fact that COVID-19 could be human-to-human transmissible and the fact that researchers were prevented from investigating without explicit permission from the government. However, if Epoch Times is not trusted to share leaked documents either, that does not matter because the Associated Press (approved as reliable by Wikipedia) has stated essentially the same thing.[4] According to the Associated Press, "On Jan. 3, the National Health Commission issued a confidential notice ordering labs with the virus to either destroy their samples or send them to designated institutes for safekeeping...The order barred Shi’s lab from publishing the genetic sequence or warning of the potential danger. Chinese law states that research institutes cannot conduct experiments on potentially dangerous new viruses without approval from top health authorities." This confidential notice is not only issued on the same date as the leaked document provided by The Epoch Times but, has almost the exact same point. The only difference is that the Epoch Times specifies what samples are prohibited from being spread to other institutes and labs, while the Associated Press does not. The point is the same. It shows that the government in China had stifled efforts of outside researchers to be able to investigate the virus. Also according to the Associated Press (AP), on January 5th, virologist Zhang Yongzhen sequenced the virus and warned the Shanghai Public Clinical Health Centre that the virus was similar to SARS and likely infectious. The Centre took Zhang's claims seriously and issued the warning, "It should be contagious through respiratory passages...We recommend taking preventative measures in public areas.” However, as both Dr Yan and the AP state, the WHO was told by the Chinese government that there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission. By January 8th, a woman with COVID-19 like symptoms attempting to enter Thailand had surfaced. However, due to the secrecy of the Chinese Government, the gene sequence found by Zhang could not be accessed for confirmation. Not until January 11th did Zhang release the sequence without the permission of the Chinese CDC. This angered the CDC and according to the AP caused his lab to be temporarily shut down. This clearly shows that Dr Yan's concerns about repercussions are genuine and that as a Doctor in China, she truly was prevented from publishing vital information without the permission of the government. By January 13th, the WHO had confirmed a case in Thailand. On January 14th, through a confidential teleconference admitted that a pandemic was about to begin and would be "most severe challenge since SARS in 2003".[5] However, on the same day, Chinese officials told the WHO there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission leading the WHO to tweet, "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China🇨🇳."[6] Chinese officials kept the truth hidden for another six critical days until finally admitting on January 20th, 2020 that COVID-19 transmitted between people. NONE of these points are political points. All that has been mentioned are incredibly relevant to Dr Yan's statements. Dr Yan has acted as a whistleblower against the Chinese government/CCP and stated that they stifled the ability for Hong Kong researchers such as herself to investigate COVID-19. She stated that the government knew about the human-to-human transmissibility but, prevented researchers from publishing any information at all, even if it was critical unless first approved by the CDC. She finally stated that she feared that there would be repercussions if she spoke up about her findings and was told not to talk about it. All of the points written here are pieces of evidence that support her claims. Pieces of evidence that do not rely on the deprecated source "The Epoch Times" but instead, The Associated Press, a verified reliable source and direct quotes from the WHO. I have offered these to show that her claims are not a "one-off news story" and have a real basis. To conclude, her claims do not appear to be unfounded and are in fact compatible with currently known facts about the CCP and the Chinese Government. Instead, her claims are simply part of mounting evidence that the CCP mishandled COVID-19 and withheld important information. This is incredibly important and must not be deleted so all can access her claims. Right now all evidence points to her being a genuine whistleblower since her claims seem to simply confirm what was already known or speculated on. Until it can be proven that her claims are completely wrong, this article must not be deleted. I will not delete my points backed up from the Epoch times in the original post, so all can see my original statement, this response and then compare the two. Leaving both statements will be useful in deciding whether the article must be deleted or not. Nathanzachary56 (talk) 04:03, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Undecided I would have to state that if Wikipedia should decide to keep this article, unless it can be shown otherwise, it should be made clear in the article that there exists no bonafide evidence to date to corroborate Doctor Li-Meng Yan's allegations regarding China and the WHO in their not being transparent about the corona virus outbreak from the very beginning. On the other hand, if Wikipedia's policy is to publish information that can be readily verified or substantiated beyond a reasonable doubt, then I would have to say that the article should be deleted until such time evidence can be presented to confirm the doctor's allegations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:FA00:76A0:DC05:375E:5BA3:F6AF (talk) 22:50, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I believe it's in the public's interest to keep this article up until there's enough evidence to disprove her claims. As other people in this article have mentioned, the initial report that started the article is from a source that Wikipedia deems a reliable source (WP:FOXNEWS) and Li-Meng Yan was a virologist and researcher at the University of Hong Kong before she fled Hong Kong and knowing the situation with the Hong Kong national security law I'm not surprised that she fled since what she has done may be seen as undermining the power of the PRC which is subversion under Article 22 of the NSL or "provoking hatred among Hong Kong residents towards the Central People's Government" (Article 29).

  • Keep Li-Meng Yan's case has received a lot of media coverage, and according to WP:WEIGHT that should be sufficient reason for inclusion. Admittedly, much of the coverage was in Murdoch media, but many of them are WP:RS. Her story seems to be that she heard from a professional colleague that the novel pneumonia was transmitted from human to human on 31 December 2019, WHO said there was no evidence of human to human transmission on 9 January, but Yan reported her knowledge of human to human transmission to her superiors on 16 January, but they told her not to talk about it. The Chinese government started the lockdown on 23 January, so human to human transmission must have been common knowledge at that time. I'm not sure what the verifiable facts are and what the truth is, but I'd like to see the claims on both sides laid out on Wikipedia for the benefit of people who are trying to figure it out. It would be a much better story if and when more reliable sources than the Murdoch media and anti-PRC media, preferably written by reporters who understand the discovery of the covid-19 virus. --Nbauman (talk) 01:39, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep For now at least. I didn't know where else to turn to find out more about her when I saw the headlines, and I expect many others will do the same. Whether or not she has been groomed by the Trump administration (or its associates) and the veracity of her claim has no bearing on the public interest in her at this point; WP:GNG has already been met. But given the extent to which this has been politicised and the amount of tinfoilhattery around her story, and SARS-CoV-2 in general, the article will surely need to be monitored for dodgy edits.

Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 10:50, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Finnish one-man National Socialist Black Metal project. I don't think it is notable to be included in Wikipedia. The article has an "improve sources" tag since 2015, and a notability tag since 2019. I have noticed that Goatmoon has a following in underground circles, but it is not covered in notable media. I have found a Brooklyn Vegan and an AltPress article, both are reliable sources, but these articles are not about the project itself, just news about a guy being kicked out of Maryland Deathfest because he wears a vest with a Goatmoon patch on it. The "band" (project) is covered very trivially in these articles. The rest of the results are the standard unreliable sources like databases, streaming service entries, retail sites and blogs. I have found some album reviews/interviews but they are featured on blog-like sites. Goatmoon has no profile on Metal Storm and on Sputnik Music, the whole coverage is this: "Goatmoon is a one-man black metal band." That's it. These two could've been reliable but none of these sites covered this band. I have also searched for the albums but I could not find anything reliable, just databases, retail sites, streaming service links, song lyrics sites, video sites and blogs. I have found a review for one of Goatmoon's albums on Sputnik Music (which is considered to be a RS if staff written content is used), unfortunately the review was written by a user. Goatmoon has articles on several other Wikis as well, but the sourcing is very poor in all of them, as they are sourced to unreliable sites like Discogs and Metal Archives. Some of the sources are also dead. There might be reliable sources in Finnish but I don't speak the language. So with all that being said, this project may be notable in the underground, but not notable for Wikipedia. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 10:48, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem to be notable for Wikipedia. I can't find any info in sources online, and I cannot find evidence for the claim that it is "New York Time best-selling". Also, per evidence here, I can see it was created by an LTA that has been present here, mainly on simplewiki, since 2011 (this isn't reason to delete, but is worth noting). The book is a 40 page children's book - I don't think it belongs here. IWI (chat) 09:35, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hello there, I just wanted to point out that the same person also nominated the article for deletion at Simple English Wikipedia (see current AfD/RfD at SEWP). I oringinally nominated it at SEWP, in mid-2019, but this resulted in a non-consensus-keep (see here). Claims such as 'NY Times bestseller' need to be substantiated with a reference. As I pointed out in my original AfD on Sipmle in 2019: There are authors such as Selma Lagerlöf or Astrid Lindgren who wrote stories that undoubtedly are notable. Most children will have ocme in contact with stories such as The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, published in the early 20th century, or Pippi Longstocking, published 1945 to 1948. In short: if the claims cannot be substantiated, I am in favor of deletion. There are zillions of books out there; having an article on any book is unrealistic. Also: whoever closes this, please drop a short note on the SEWP discusion page. Eptalon (talk) 10:15, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The film reviews listed in the article are basically plot presentations and/or some similar remarks in press-release type of articles [19]. As fas as the "second" award the film got at the London Greek Film Festival I don't think it's evidence of notability. User JohannesAugustin = Mazomenos usuallly refers to this Festival while promoting himself in several WPs, but it doesn't seem to be a widely recognised or influential event. Furthermore, the fact that recently almost every second year Mazomenos gets a first prize from there is an indication that this is perhaps mostly a festival held between "friends". ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 16:47, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of any notability for this software. Looking for reliable, secondary sources giving significant attention to this gave no results. It is mentioned in books on soil technology, but without further attention given to it.

Note that Tochnog, the free version available on sourceforge, looks to be more notable, and is discussed at length in multiple professional books. This article however is specifically about TochNog Professional, a different version where the code is not publicly available. So please, in deciding on notability, make sure that you use sources about Tochnog Professional only, and not sources about Tochnog in general (like this book.

Please see the list of references and examples in the article. All of these use 'Tochnog Professional' , which is the topic of this article. So the previous remark ('no evidence of any notability' seems to be made without looking at the real evidence of notability, which is easy provided in the article itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoddemanDennis (talkcontribs) 08:48, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So just to be clear about the remark above 'use sources about Tochnog Professional only' , that can easily be done by checking the examples and references listed in the article (done by many companies and universities around the world, including peer reviewed articles). These are not about the different free version which Fram talks about, these are in fact about Tochnog Professional, and that is in fact the topic off this article. Thank you for looking carefully. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoddemanDennis (talkcontribs) 09:00, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit hard to take this list serious if the first one on it, this, is a page written by you (creator of the article, owner of Tochnog Professional). The second source seems to have little value in determining notability, it is part of some online material for a course (I think?) Third source indicates that Tochnog Professional was used, yes, it is not a source about Tochnog. Fourth source again indicates that they used Tochnog Professional... What is needed are sources about Tochnog Professional, not sources indicating that they used Tochnog Professional. Fram (talk) 12:28, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To comment: Yes: - first one on list: they took from our information (not much I can do about that, but if you want that removed just tell me , i remove that one) - second: no not part of a course, as I explained they show how to use user supplied routines in combination with the program - third: It indeed discusses usage and results with the tochnog professional program, to show that your suspect 'it is not used' since you said that you could not find that, is not correct - fourth: it is about Tochnof Professional, it discusses what the program can do, and how results are in a calculation (to see that something is notable becomes clear when it is actually used, and discussed) I propose that someone with real software experience, or experience with numerical methos, enters this discussion. Thank you.

Where did I claim that the software isn't used? I don't think I ever said this (or even that I suspected this), I said that sources showing that it is used are not helping to determine whether it is notable software or not. Fram (talk) 15:41, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See your text 'Note that Tochnog ...and not sources about Tochnog in general'. You only talk about evidence you found for 'tochnog'. You did not talk about any evidence you found for 'tochnog professional'. You at least make the suggestion to readers of this discussion that it can not be found (did you look carefully?), and at least did not help readers of this discussion to make a fair opinion. If you want to help the readers of this discussion to make a fair opinion you should not only give information about another program , but you should put effort also in finding evidence of the usage of the program of the article, and show that to readers of the discussion. You only talk about one mention of the 'tochnog professional' program that you found, that gives no further discussion. You did not put effort in finding other references which do indeed discuss application and results with the program; again, that does not help others in this discussion to make a fair opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoddemanDennis (talkcontribs) 03:47, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So as I see it: - if you searched for 'tochnog professional' carefully you should have included references about that in the first place, to be fair - if you did not search carefully , and I provide references, you can say 'i did not look carefully, so I missed references' - other readers of this article can easily verify themselves how difficult it is by doing a google search "tochnog professional" themselves — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoddemanDennis (talkcontribs) 04:04, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, while there aren't a lot of freely available sources that actually talk about Tochnog Professional, I think it is better to err on the side of keeping this article. It is obviously a niche tool, and I am not an expert in numerical methods, but I think Wikipedia should have articles on niche subjects with decent sources, and this article has some decent sources. --Ysangkok (talk) 23:34, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

The information removed by user Devokewater is not advertising. That information shows clearly what the software program is meant for (just like the purpose of any other software program is also explained). And the references show interested readers where further information can be found. So the removed information was of valuable importance to interested readers of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoddemanDennis (talkcontribs) 09:47, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For better understandg, see by example the wikipedia for a similar program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIANA_FEA There are similar lists of capabilities , and corresponding references. That helps a reader understand what a program does, and where to find more information. I do not understand why for this article that should not be allowed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoddemanDennis (talkcontribs) 10:17, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Wikipedia is not a technical manual, plus there is a conflict of interest with RoddemanDennis edits has you appear to own the business, which is against Wikipedia's rule. --Devokewater (talk) 18:04, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1. Wikipedia talks about software programs, and what they can calculate. See by example the diana_fea page and other FE programs. The list was program capabilities, and NOT how to do the calculations. Nothing in the list is a manual. If specifying capabilities of programs cannot be done, articles about software programs would loose most value. 2. I declared the COI in this article. User Jac16888 moved that declaration of the COI to the talk page. I guess he is an editor, and knows where it should be placed. Ask him if you want it back in the article itself. For me, its ok to put it everywhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoddemanDennis (talkcontribs) 18:17, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment if the competitors of Tochnog professional, such as DIANA FEA have a wikipage then it's a bit unfair if this one is deleted. At the moment it appears to be advertising plus a technical manual, not a wikipage. This article needs to be tidied up by independent editors. Devokewater (talk) 19:43, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The article promotes a software product, and describes its use - it has no independent assessment of it. It has been written by an owner of the company that developed and sells it. The references are primary research papers which (I assume - I am unable to check) acknowledge use of the software, rather than discussing it. The existence of articles such as DIANA FEA does not warrant the existence of other equally poor articles - see WP:OTHER. If this unfairness is a problem, DIANA FEA should also go to AfD. Maproom (talk) 21:42, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question for User:RoddemanDennis: From your 53 references, please could you select and present us with just three or four urls that link to independent, external sources that you believe will show us how your program meets our essential notability criteria, explained at Wikipedia:Notability (software)? It sounds to me like you have produced some amazingly useful software which is utilised in many essential areas around the globe, and nothing we discuss here can ever undermine that. But there are millions of technical programmes and bits of sophisticated equipment in use around the world, but none of these will meet our notability criteria if there isn't anything to be found within in-depth reviews or publications. All else will be seen as WP:PROMOTION, I'm afraid, and there is no place for that here. (Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four keyboard tildes like this: ~~~~.). Many thanks, Nick Moyes (talk) 00:19, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nick, did you see the more short easy clickable list above here (the list 1-17)? You could use numbers 7 (paper dresden university), 14 (thesis delft university), 15 (thesis delft university) and 17 (paper chalmers university). The numerical equations and numerical results are with the program of the article (tochnog professional). Thank you. RoddemanDennis (talk) 00:30, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, RoddemanDennis. I'm really sorry, but if those four sources are the best you feel you can point me to, then I'm afraid your article completely fails to meet our notability criteria in my view. All each one does is demonstrate that your software is used for a variety of high-level data processing or analysis (which I won't pretend I understand), and none of them describes, reviews or compares your product in any significant way that Wikipedia requires. We would call all these 'mere mentions', and that would still be so even if some of the world's most momentous decisions happen to be based upon them. So I have to conclude that the only option for this article at this time is delete. Nick Moyes (talk) 01:15, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Charles S. Roberts Awards are perhaps the most prestigious annual games awards on this side of the Atlantic. Of the hundreds of games created each year, only five are nominated in each category.

    • Well, you first have to ignore that the lone reliable source,Space Gamer, claims that the article was created by Eric Olson and doesn't mention Dave Nalle... Too bad that the only part of your vote which isn't identical to all your other votes all the time seems to be wrong, but there you go! Fram (talk) 18:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • That was an error of omission on my part. Board Game Geek and Spotlight on Games both credit Dave Nalle, founder of Ragnarok Enterprises, but Eric Olsen co-wrote this and several similarly-themed games with Nalle in 1983-1985, including Middle Passage and Pacific Passage. Article has been corrected, thanks for pointing this out. Guinness323 (talk) 18:45, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • BGG (or the rather retro layouted Spotlight) is not a reliable source, Space Gamer presumably is, so you should go with that source and credit it only to Olson (as does your other source[21], but that's probably no more reliable either). Fram (talk) 18:54, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • Good points. They both definitely collaborated on Middle Passage (both their names are on the title page).

Comment Which sources seem unreliable? Luding, although in German, is an accurate source of information in a country somewhat obsessed with board games. Board Game Geek is likewise an accurate source of information about games. The article uses these sites to establish facts about the game, which are not in dispute. Notability, currently obtained from a lengthy independent review from a RS and a nomination for a major award, is what is being questioned. Guinness323 (talk) 19:43, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Boardgamegeek is a wiki and already has been shown to be incorrect on this game. The "nomination for a major award" is so important that it has received no attention in reliable sources whatsoever and is only found in that unreliable wiki.

  • Please let me know in what parts I can improve the article. The article supports WP:NACADEMIC in criteria 6. As in criteria 6, S. Chakrabarti is appointed as the director of a major academic institution. Also in criteria 4, his academic work has made a significant impact in the area of undergraduate studies with association with notable institutes. Also as of criteria 2, he has got the prestigious G.W.G award. Yes its true that it does not meet the criterias well. But that does not mean that he is not notable. Please provide me what edit I should or can do to improve the article. -AnkurWiki, 2:36, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
  • AnkurWiki, I'm actually personally unsure if being the director of the "Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology" meets NPROF 6. Also, although the "GWG" (located here) award might be an impressive award, I don't know if it rises to the standard of "highly prestigious on a national or international level." Regardless, this is certainly on edge case, in my opinion. Sam-2727 (talk) 04:26, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry but I think that citation 6 meets properly as the director is the top post (or at least one of the ) of a reputed academic institution. Citation 2 partially meets. His work is notable on the Picture C projects (see here ) and on finding habitable planets. Yes its true that the article can be improved in some parts and sections. But nothing is found to prove him not notable, in my opinion. - AnkurWiki, 09:41, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to A Witch Shall be Born, the story she originated from. Searching for sources largely just bring up plot summaries - either for this novella or for Conan the Destroyer, a film in which one of the villains shares a name, but virtually nothing else, with the novella's character. I found one paper that has a couple of paragraphs discussing the movie incarnation of the character, here, but there is not a whole lot there, and it is the only source I can find that really goes beyond simple plot summary or name dropping. The current article is nothing but a nearly indecipherable plot summary of a comic adaptation of the novella and a shortened version of the plot summary that already exists at the Conan the Destroyer article, and there are no sources being used that discuss the character herself. So, merging would not be appropriate in this case. But, Redirecting to the article on the novella, which itself discusses and links to the article on the film, would make sense for navigational purposes. Rorshacma (talk) 06:02, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to A Witch Shall be Born. There does not appear to be enough coverage on the character to meet the significant requirements of WP:GNG, but there is a viable redirect target and this is a viable search term so it would be more helpful to guide any readers looking for this character to the novella page.

The result was redirect to Magic item (Dungeons & Dragons) , with the history being preserved for anyone who wants to merge any useful content. There are several assertions here that the topic is notable enough for a standalone article, but precious few that provide the sources to back up this claim. Even among the better-reasoned !votes, I'm only seeing one substantive reliable source being presented. References to magic bags in other media aren't especially relevant; if someone wanted to write an article about that topic, they are welcome to do so, but that material is out of scope here, and so those arguments carry no weight.

  • I'm neutral here, the article was restored as part of an RfD outcome without prejudice to further renomination for AfD or merging. May get around to actually reviewing the sources and making a real !vote. signed, Rosguill talk 18:01, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - At the very least, the entire "In other games and media" section needs to go. Not only is it completely comprised of trivia, cited either to no sources or to pieces of fiction, it also contains a number of items that are not Bags of Holding, but to items that someone thought were similar enough to include here, which is complete WP:OR. As a whole, though, this also fails the WP:GNG. The article on the broader topic of "Magic Satchel" was already deleted due to the failure finding any amount of significant coverage in reliable sources, and this specific example of the concept is the same. There are plenty of results on searches, but these are either primary sources, unreliable sources, or very trivial mentions that do not discuss their notability in depth at all. Even the "symbolism" section is nothing but trivial mentions. One of the examples is someone just using the term when talking about a completely different topic, and the usable coverage in this article is literally "someone used the term in a sentence once!". That is not remotely WP:SIGCOV, and pretty much all other results in searches are the same. Rorshacma (talk) 18:13, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update I would probably also be fine with a Merge of some sort to an article like Hammerspace. As mentioned in my comment below, as well as Hobit's, while there really is not much in the way of WP:SIGCOV on the magic item itself, there are a lot of minor uses of it showing that the term is used fairly commonly, so it would probably be worth it to document it in the appropriate broad topic. Rorshacma (talk) 17:34, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I respectfully disagree with the assertion that the sources in the Symbolism do not constitute significant coverage. An entire chapter of the Routledge text is based on the D&D Bag of Holding: "The Invisible Bag of Holding: Whiteness and Media Fandom," by Benjamin Woo. The nomination and supporting votes seem to be based on the content of the article, which could be improved, rather than a considered assessment of the sources--both those cited in the article and those not cited but for which WP:NEXIST.

Some of the delete votes claim that all of the sources outside of the Sybolism section are primary. This is inaccurate and, dare I say, illustrative of a general lack of attention to detail commonly found among serial deletionists. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 21:36, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since Mary Poppins pre-dates Dungeons and Dragons by a good deal, she most certainly did not have one. This article is specifically about a particular D&D magical item, not the concept of "larger on the inside" objects in general. Mary Poppin's bag is actually mentioned at Hammerspace, the broader topic that talks about the concept. Which actually makes me think that, if anything, this D&D item could possibly be mentioned and redirected there. While the many brief mentions of this D&D item in sources is not enough to support an independent article, they are probably enough to warrant a being discussed at that article.

  • IAR keep sources are light, and merge isn't crazy. But this idea has certainly entered the mainstream [23], [24], [25], and [26] among many many others. Yes, I know about WP:GHITS but this has about 1,000,000 such hits as well as more than 4000 news hits. It's a common enough phrase/idea that we should probably document it. That said, I'm not thrilled with the current article--too scattered. I'd rather hear more about the history of the idea. Hobit (talk) 17:07, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "hometheaterreview.com" says "Don't bring your Bag of Holding or twenty-sided dice to the D&D Building in Manhattan. I mean, you can, but expect a few strange looks. In this case, "D&D" stands for Decoration & Design". So that's not about D&D and not about the bag of holding.
  • New Statesman' piece called "The time that I saw my balls on a giant television" is about checking for testicular cancer. "I think you should also take a few moments now and then to examine yourself for lumps, just because there’s nothing wrong with checking what treasure is in your Bag of Holding, and I don’t think you should feel at all bad or embarrassed about having to go to see a doctor if you have any concerns". Bag of holding is cutesy term for scrotum. Not really about the bag of holding, right?
  • Gizmodo's "We're Almost Certainly Getting Some New AirPods—What Will They Be?" is a piece about rumored new Apple AirPods. "As someone who uses his pockets like a bag of holding, the AirPods diminutive size compared to some wired earbuds or folding Bluetooth headphones can’t be beat, especially if you like to travel light" is the only mention of the term.
  • The Macworld piece is a review of a leather messenger bag. The only mention is "I’m willing to say that if life were a D&D campaign, this is as close to a Bag of Holding as you’re going to get."
These four sources are passing mentions and do not help with notability. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 09:54, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't disagree that the links I provided are all passing mentions. But they all assume the reader understands the reference to what a "Bag of Holding" is. The point of those links is to show that the term is in common enough use outside of the context of D&D that we should have an article if possible. The sources in the article are maybe above the bar, but the ubiquity of the term is such that I think we should have an article (thus the IAR part). Hobit (talk) 04:19, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or merge to Magic item (Dungeons & Dragons) or better, to a list of DnD magical items. Outside of primary sources (novels, games), there topic is mentioned only in passing here and there (see section on "Symbolism"). Until we can find at least an in-depth paragraph about this, preferably in at least two sources to satisfy GNG requirement of in-depth coverage, I don't see how this can warrant a stand-alone article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:55, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Andrew Davidson. Captain Galaxy (talk) 09:32, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It is refered to directly in secondary sources and the Symbolism section seems worthwhile to me. Due to the widespread nature, shown both by Hobit and the appearances in other media in the article, I think this article provides a piece of knowledge to users of Wikipedia would want, so it's better for Wikipedia to have it than to delete it. Speaking of widespread nature, the term is also used in scientific literature, in addition to the mentioned example: this dissertation uses knowledge about the bag of holding to distinguish a sub-population from the general public. Responsibly and Accurately: Dwelling in Imagined Worlds also uses it as an example, though I cannot access it to see the extent. Can anyone else? Lastly, Of Dice and Men explains and praises the Bag of Tricks, sub-topic of this article. If all that together should still not be seen enough to keep the article, a proper merge to Hammerspace seems the best course to me. Daranios (talk) 10:59, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • CommentMerge - well I see that you guys are intent on keeping this thing. I've cut the worst of the WP:OR and off-topic material from the article, but it remains weakly-sourced and poorly-focused. Me, I'd merge it to Magic item (Dungeons & Dragons) which would make a lot more sense as it is both stated to be one of those, and would make a useful short section there. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:38, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There is not enough WP:SIGCOV about the fictional item beyond the game. Description, variations and "interaction with other magical items" are all WP:INUNIVERSE and do not help establish stand-alone notability. It might be iconic for D&D, but so are coins for Mario and golden rings for Sonic. And a single scholar using a fictional item as a metaphor doesn't somehow mean that item is notable. I already took out that part. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 12:05, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Dear Soetermans, I am confused about your approach: You critize that the article does not contain enough beyond the game. But you have also removed a part where a scholar extended the concept beyond the game. Secondly, you say "a single scholar using a fictional item as a metaphor doesn't somehow mean that item is notable". If I say we found three, will you call for five? Daranios (talk) 13:54, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Removing a RS to make for a more compelling deletion argument is bad form. I restored it. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 14:28, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Daranios, sorry if my reasoning wasn't clear. What I meant with "beyond" the game, is how potential reliable sources treat the object outside of its in-game use. So creation ("the bag of holding was created by...", "it was inspired by..."), development ("initial playthroughs with the bag of holding were...", "it was decided to expand the inventory room because..."), reception ("Jane McDoe of Random Media Outlet considers it to be..."), legacy ("Hideo Kojima said he was always fascinated with the bag of holding...", "Remedy Games' setting of Control was based upon..."), that kind of information. That connects it to the game, but still meets stand-alone notability. Mentioning the metaphorical usage of the scholar is not notable, because it's not about the actual fictional item, but about its function (hence it is a metaphor). And it's a poor one at that, they still have to explain what it actually does ("white privilege is much bigger than it appears from the outside"). soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 14:37, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Hi AugusteBlanqui, I don't see why the usage of a fictional object as a metaphor by a scholar about white privilege would somehow make the subject notable. I still don't think it's should be there, but we can wait out this discussion. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 14:37, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see what the closer says. If the result is delete then the source is immaterial, if the result is otherwise the closer can indicate the extent to which an entire book chapter premised on the D&D Bag of Holding contributed to GNG. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 14:46, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation. I would follow AugusteBlanqui's side of the argument here, but let's see what's decided in the end. Daranios (talk) 16:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep There are reliable sources for this article that is longer than most crufty DnD articles and all the content is not random in-universe stuff.★Trekker (talk) 22:57, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi *Treker, what sources would those be? Right now, it's primarily referenced by WP:PRIMARY sources, like the Dungeon Master's Guide and the actual role-playing game. I've already stated that a metaphorical use of the item in a scholarly piece doesn't help with notability. The section "In other games and media" is trivial at best: that the boat in Zork "fuctions as a bag of holding" doesn't say anything about the actual fictional item. The Pratchett one is WP:OR / WP:SYNTH. And the 8-bit Theater is referenced by a post on some on a random internet forum. Also in this discussion, I don't see any significant, independent and reliable coverage by several sources. I'm having a hard time finding reliable sources, if there are, I'd like to see them. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 09:54, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Soetermans, a question about the the appearance in Discworld: Is the quote incorrect? Otherwise, how can it be original research that this is an appearance of a bag of holding (with typical Pratchett addition), when the source directly says it's "a classic Bag of Holding"? Daranios (talk) 11:44, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Daranios, I'm not questioning that it's mentioned in Discworld, but I'm saying that a mention in another piece of fiction doesn't help establish notability for a fictional item. It's WP:OR / WP:SYNTH because we're not pointing to a reliable source that says that Pratchett references the bag of holding, but it's cited directly. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:58, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Soetermans, to quote the corresponding guideline, OR "includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources." As it is stated directly in the source, no analysis or synthesis is needed, no conclusion needs to be drawn. Therefore, in this case, it is not original research.

  • Delete or merge as suggested by several editors, per WP:ATD. The only independent source here is off topic. This article was already a redirect before it was restored, and then went right back to AFD. These discussions shouldn't go around in circles, and there has been a consensus that this shouldn't be a stand-alone article. We should all support the spirit of WP:ATD, and we can mention things in the context of a more substantial article with better sources.

  • Keep It seems to me notable enough, especially if Hermione's beaded bag, which sounds close enough, was added. Are there no other examples that could be added? Gah4 (talk) 04:36, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Again, this article is on a specific D&D item, not the general concept of magic bags found in all of fiction. A similar object appearing in Harry Potter, that does not even bear the same name, does not confer notability to the D&D item. The idea of magical containers that hold more than they appear have existed long before D&D, and listing a bunch of similar, but completely unrelated, examples does not belong in the article. Rorshacma (talk) 05:41, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Merge to the target already suggested. Per lack of notability about this particular bag in D&D as a subject. Maybe some magical bags are notable, which is extremely questionable anyway, but this article is about a particular one that isn't notable. You can't fake it by trying to cite a movie that was created years before D&D was even around or by referencing an article about Apple AirPods. Those things are completely irrelevant. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:44, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restore redirect back to Magic item (Dungeons & Dragons). Object isn't notable and doesn't have WP:SIGCOV in sources. Even if you can verify it exists there is nothing to say that isn't just the obvious game mechanics of it being a magic bag. Adding other magic bags from other games is making the article worse, not better. The D&D magic item article is the right way to handle it. Archrogue (talk) 18:11, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge I've not analyzed the sources in detail but there is obviously enough there to have built a real and encyclopedic article. North8000 (talk) 15:58, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi North8000, could you elaborate where there is "obviously enough there"? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 19:56, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What I meant is the it is a real article, with sourced covering of a range of areas....it's not just a repetition of the game instructions. So I was saying that there's enough sourcing there to do that which is a part of the intent of GNG. Again all in the context of "I've not analyzed the sources in detail". One other factor is that the games itself is very notable. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:45, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Additional comment / re-merge / re-redirect if it helps produce a consensus. In my earlier, comment I supported deletion because still this article is resting on one third party source, which is ostensibly about white privilege and only refers to this bag to make a wordplay on Peggy McIntosh's invisible knapsack theory of white privilege. I stand by my earlier comment, and my support for deletion. But I'm adding this comment as I've dug into the edit history, and found that the recent consensus was to cover this in a shorter mention in a larger notable article. Wikipedia shouldn't be a WP:BATTLEGROUND, and we should avoid unraveling consensus, as much as possible. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:35, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, for this suggestion it would be interesting to know what could be a parent topic, with what could it be put together, what could be sources for related concepts? ZXCVBNM mentioned the Magic satchel, but that has been has been rejected, deleted and discarded rather than combined with something to make use of it, so we don't know if something helpful was there.

How about a section in Magic item (Dungeons & Dragons) or else a new D&D sub-article like Dungeons & Dragons) game objects North8000 (talk) 18:50, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I see a lot of people suggesting the current "Magic Item" list. The redirect previously pointed there,, and it's already mentioned there. Shooterwalker (talk) 22:16, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as far as I have seen, the only mention there is the See also-link pointing here, which obviously will no longer be useful when it would be redirected. Or did I overlook something? So to do a proper merge, a new type of section would need to be created in Magic item (Dungeons & Dragons). I can see some merit in that, but as the sources, such as they are, also point towards the use of the term outside the game (as a metaphor or otherwise), I overall stick to my "Keep" opinion.
