List of military brats[edit]

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

The concept of a "Military brat" has some meaning, however the distinction between a "military brat" and someone who happened to grow up in a military family is subjective.

If there are a group of people who either identify as a military brat, or have this supported by reliable sources then the list makes some sense, however I have looked at a couple of handfuls of the articles in the list and I can't find reason to place any of them in this group.
If the list is just of people who grew up in a military family, then I can't see the relevance of the list. The military family background is not a notable feature of many of these peoples' lives. Pi (Talk to me!) 23:58, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete subjective and possibly endless list. Mztourist (talk) 03:07, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The list defines it as the offspring of military personnel, but that violates WP:LISTCRITERIA: your parents' occupations (unless they're royalty) generally doesn't make a lot of difference. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:53, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As mentioned above, this violates WP:LSC and is likely an endless and subjective list that adds no real value to the articles it lists. I see no reason to keep it. Aguy777 (talk) 09:22, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete How long do you have to have had a parent in the military while a child? Does this have to have ever caused you to relocate, or does it count if you lived in a stable home and your parent was deployed? Lots of issues with the list. This list might be helpful if it told us how long the parent in question was in the military, how many bases the person lived at as a child, etc, but for most of these people we do not know those details.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:44, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this should never have gotten to AfD. A simple WP:BEFORE Google search for "sarah cornett-ching", no keywords or filters, renders the following examples of independent, signficant coverage within the first five pages of search results: [1], [2], [3], [4] (free account required), [5], [6] and [7]. Add in filters or addendums and you get more results. Easily passes GNG despite the fact that she doesn't meet WP:NMOTORSPORT.

O'Donnell, Ontario[edit]

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

Poorly sourced article about a shortlived purported (but not fully verifiable) ghost town, with no strong evidence that it would get past WP:GEOLAND as a standalone topic. There's a lot of completely unsourced original research here, and even the few things that are footnoted are mostly citing unreliable primary sources, like a ghost towns blog and a mining industry blog — literally the only reliable source in the article discusses it solely in the context of having been a roast bed rather than in the context of ever having been a place where people lived, the industry blog does the same, and the only other new source I could add also just namechecks it a single time on one page as a roast bed. But whatever it was or wasn't, it was definitely never "legally recognized" in the sense of having a municipal government — so even if it was populated at all, its notability test would fall under the "populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG" clause, but it isn't being shown to pass GNG.
A redirect to Walden, Ontario (the borough of Sudbury in which the remains of whatever this was are geographically located) would be a potential option here, but the quality and depth of sourcing on offer do not rise to the level of earning it a standalone article as an independent topic in its own right.

Commment What does GNG look like here? Looking at 1920s Ontario newspapers, there's certainly articles mentioning someone is from "O'Donnell, Ontario". Nfitz (talk) 23:03, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Articles mentioning someone is from O'Donnell, Ontario" is not how you get a place over GNG. GNG is not about counting up how many articles you can find which happen to briefly mention O'Donnell in the process of being fundamentally about something or someone else — GNG is about finding articles in which O'Donnell is itself the primary subject of the piece. Bearcat (talk) 02:04, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the primary concern here was concern that the very existence was purported. I'd think that the number of articles for current small Ontario towns that meet GNG are the exception, not the rule. But the information below points to a scholarly article and a book reference to meet GNG. How is that not enough? Nfitz (talk) 21:07, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The book isn't a GNG-assisting source at all, as it doesn't contain any content about O'Donnell except a brief glancing acknowledgement of its existence on a single page. And the scholarly article is a start, but not a finish all by itself if it's the only substantive source that can be found, because GNG requires a lot more than just one substantive source. Bearcat (talk) 22:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There's at least one scholarly article directly on the yards as a townsite and over 30 on their environmental impact, and several books mention them. I'm not sure this is notable as a townsite, but I think it's clearly sourceable and notable as the O'Donnell Roast Yards and would consider moving there. SportingFlyer T·C 23:06, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are certainly additional sources I was able to find from some brief searching referring to it as a distinct and named populated place, e.g. this monograph on environmental pollution which talks about residents or this history of the area which I suspect is the source for some of the information on the websites directly cited in the article. The standard of having a municipal government would invalidate a lot of mining and CPR towns that existed on company property early in the 20th century, and I'm concerned that not having coverage of them on Wikipedia would lead to coverage that doesn't properly capture the human geography of these areas, where industries like mining and forestry drove town development rather than the other way around. However given that it's within the former boundaries of Walden (itself a former township, and one rather arbitrarily created and with a legal lifespan not much longer than O'Donnell itself), a place within the Walden article might be a suitable alternative to a full article, alongside similar former mining towns like Creighton, High Falls, Worthington, Victoria Mines, etc., none of which had municipal governance either to my knowledge. I find the idea of re-framing the subject as being about the roast yards and their environmental impact to be compelling as well though it was not my focus while editing the article. If other editors were willing to broaden/shift the scope with a focus on those I would appreciate it as I don't have access to most scholarly journals. Julius177 (talk) 03:00, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody said that places aren't allowed to have Wikipedia articles if they didn't have municipal governments — but a place in that boat has to be able to show that it can clear WP:GNG on its sourceability, because a place does have to have had some form of objective legal recognition before it's handed an automatic notability freebie that would exempt it from having to have better sources than this. But brief mentions on one page of a book, attesting that a place exists but not containing any substantive or non-trivial information about it beyond just the fact that it exists, aren't notability-making sources: a source has to support substantive content about the subject, not just offer technical verification of its existence, to count as a notability-assisting source. Bearcat (talk) 04:12, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now - I'd rather have the edit history world-visible while the UNESCO application is underway. There's lots of content that doesn't currently have reliable sources: this should be pruned, but we have one very good RS and no pressing concerns with respect to problematic editing: we can be patient. If it fails in the UNESCO bid and no more good RSs emerge, then the well-sourced content should be merged to Greater Sudbury. — Charles Stewart (talk) 07:24, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm surprised there's any RS in the last few decades. I'm not troubled that there's only one, given a lack of contemporary newspapers and publications available digitally. The sources I've checked, don't have much coverage from that area, though I do keep coming across incidental mentions of the community from papers that are further afield - so it was certainly called this in the day.

Keep. CFEs are clearly notable institutions. Why propose this for deletion and not all the other CFEs in Category:Further education colleges in the United Kingdom? No consistency there. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:32, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The present article is a brochure-like list of the facilities and past principals.

Ibrahim Guliyev[edit]

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

This person doesn't exist in the history of Azerbaijan. This article is a direct spam version of Fuad Abdurahmanov. Somebody modified in 2009 on ruwiki under Radik Guliyev. Furthermore, it was falsified even more, to a degree that a website copied from wiki. It's used as the only reference on this article.

However, the real Ibrahim Guliyev lived in 1900-1938. See this link. There's no further information about him.

We deleted the article from azwiki after a thorough examination. It's sad to see that the article has been translated into different languaged. If possible, i would use your help to delete them as well. Toghrul Rahimli (talk) 19:58, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Your explanation of the sequence of events that led to the creation of this article on en-wiki seems plausible enough to me. A cursory web search doesn't turn up any evidence that this person existed. The only thing that comes up is that web page you mentioned that is currently used as a source on the article itself, and which is indeed probably just the result of citogenesis and lazy copying from ru-wiki or az-wiki. Besides, regardless of where that web page got its (fake) information from, the en-wiki article is a copyvio anyway, as its text is copied word for word from that very page. So, apart from this article most likely being a hoax, it's also about a non-notable person who might or might not exist, contains info that cannot be verified anyway, and is entirely a copyvio to boot. Ealuscerwen (talk) 20:27, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Definite hoax; nonexistence of such laureate of "State prize" (established much later to replace well-archived Stalin prize, also without such a laureate), Nobel Peace prize (of 2007; was included in Russian version, despite the date of death and the fact that Nobel prizes aren't given post mortem) and USSR Academy of Arts membership are very easy to check.

@Ugbedeg, One of the three sources you presented above is already present in the article. The two new ones you just mentioned coupled with the 4 already present in the article do not discuss subject of the article with significant coverage they merely mention him in passing & as such do not adhere to WP:GNG Look below at the table & look at my analysis.

Delete per nom, WP:GNG and WP:BAND. On the latter, the subject doesn't appear to have any chart placements in Ireland (or elsewhere) and no awards (despite unsupported claims of "widespread critical acclaim throughout the world"). On the former, the subject doesn't appear to have received anything other than trivial passing-mentions in the two main newspapers of record of Ireland. And, while the main Irish pop/rock music magazine has covered the subject, it is only to the extent that might be expected of ANY republished press release announcing an album or gig or similar. The SPA, COI, PROMO and total lack of references (for the excessive hyperbole and fancruft) is also a significant concern. Guliolopez (talk) 23:52, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Very weak keep – This downloadable game has been reviewed in several notable gaming magazines and websites, including at least one substantial and lengthy review in Eurogamer. I am unsure whether these reviews alone are sufficient coverage for this game to be covered by a standalone article though, so I am definitely open to arguments in favor of deleting this.

Keep I can't justify a deletion here, not with four WP:VG/RS sources covering it in a non-trivial way: GameSpot [12], Eurogamer [13], Engadget [14], and IGN [15], and per Metacritic there seems to be even more coverage in magazines. That should be enough to meet WP:GNG in my eyes. If I look at a WP:ATD merge, it's impossible, since two teams worked on this game (both with wiki articles). Jovanmilic97 (talk) 20:17, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Last AfD was no consensus. It is borderline, but I don't think it passes WP:GNG though it has mentions and some coverage. Boleyn (talk) 15:14, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Video games-related deletion discussions. Toughpigs (talk) 19:17, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as with the previous discussion. The following sources were unearthed last time this was at AfD, but I didn't take the time to dissect them:

Pedersen, Roger E. (2003). Game Design Foundations. Wordware Publishing. p. 166. ISBN 9781556229732.
Chen, Jim X. (2007). Guide to Graphics Software Tools. Springer Science & Business Media. p. 247. ISBN 9780387224305.
Ahearn, Luke (2001). 3D Game Art: F/x & Design. Coriolis. ISBN 9781588801005.

#1 is a source with actual information about the engine, but what is useful is minimal. Three sentences about how Genesis3D was reused for Destiny3D, the rest about some technical and licensing restrictions. #2 is just an appendix page with bare-bones technical information and thus not useful. #3 does not have a preview but, according to summaries available online, the "Part II" of this book is merely a how-to guide for making games in Genesis3D and the related Reality Factory engine, and hence not useful either. In terms of online sources, all that I could find from last time is already in the article, with the exception of a lame April fools' joke. I still think that these sources are not sufficient to satisfy the "significant coverage" aspect of WP:GNG. Courtesy ping to previous AfD'ers: @Ferret, MrClog, and Czar. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 16:08, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to parent WildTangent. Above assessment is sound that the topic isn't independently notable, but given that there is some source coverage, it would be a sufficient alternative to deletion to merge said content to the developer's article. (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar 16:16, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to WildTangent as a WP:ATD per Czar. Nothing much to add on this. The first book source is surprisingly decent, but the rest (including the article's sources) is very weak in terms of the coverage's quality and depth. Doesn't meet WP:GNG on it's own with no multiple significant coverage in reliable sources, but there is a perfect way to WP:PRESERVE the subject elsewhere.

*Keep - Through Metacritic, I found a number of reviews, including from GameSpot and IGN, Official PlayStation Magazine, and others. I've added some of this in for now. I think there's enough here to warrant a keep. Red Phoenix ^talk 19:36, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Red Phoenix, it's not the same game here. The article talks about the game released in 2003 in West, the one you are refering to released in 2001. It is a bit confusing, but per List of Choro Q video games, there are three games all named Gadget Racers for the English version (two released for GBA and PS2, one in 2001 as Choro Q HG, the other in 2002 as Choro Q HG 2, and the third for PS2 only in 2003 titled Choro Q HG 3). This article is about Choro Q HG 3 as the article says. GameSpot review is about Choro Q HG (1st game). Jovanmilic97 (talk) 20:14, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What manner of ridiculousness was the developer thinking? That's not just "a bit confusing", that's significantly confusing. In which case, delete. I repeated a BEFORE check and can't find anything for a different Gadget Racers, and I don't see the search term as plausible. Red Phoenix ^talk 20:26, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per my argument above. The first AFD had it all wrong. The sources found back during that time were for a different game released in 2001 of the same name (which is obviously notable and should have it's article). This game is a sequel to Choro Q HG 2 (also titled as Road Trip Adventure in North America), so there is a potential to expand it with a sequel section. But, the English version of this game, Gadget Racers, released in 2003 (Japan in 2002 as Choro Q HG 3), so the redirect would be useless. My head hurts trying to clear this mess up. This game fails WP:GNG for the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources, wasn't able to find anything. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 20:34, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, Red Phoenix, and Jovanmilic. Putting aside the stupidly-confusing problem regarding its title, the game does not offer any significant coverage from reliable sources. I can see this being a brief mention in the article for Choro Q HG 2, but not as its own article. Namcokid 47 ^(Contribs) 18:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Featured on two, possibly three compilations (I can't find any record of the Flak compilation actually existing). The "untitled album" seems to have never been released. The EPs are self-released. The artist's website lists a couple of publications that have covered his music, but all links are either dead or lead to mags and blogs that are, to put it mildly, not notable themselves. The old listeners on last.fm rule of thumb test (less than 1000, with just one song that received more than 100 scrobbles) also doesn't fill me with confidence that this artist is notable or that further searches will result in me finding any significant coverage in non-English sources. Ealuscerwen (talk) 15:42, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I have never heard about this guy but I decided to look him up. But I actually couldn't find anything that is about him (aside from a Spotify page which is not a notability inducing source). Since this is not the primary meaning of the word "unexploded", it makes the search extremely difficult since most of the results are about bombs and stuff like that. I searched with "unexploded band" but the results were not any better. I could not find anything. But maybe I just did not search properly. I will try again and maybe I find something about this guy. Update: I searched with "unexploded rock band" and I found pages that are about this project, but unfortunately, they are Google Play, Facebook, Discogs and Spotify pages. So no reliable sources whatsoever. The rest of them are still not about this. By the way all of these "sources" copy the Wikipedia biography. Update again: I searched for the EPs too. "Unexploded Where We Belong" did not bring any results that are about the EP. "Unexploded Venomlake" brought an itsy-bitsy bit more results that are about the EP but actually this EP is only mentioned in the context of Unexploded, in Wikipedia mirrors, the another was the official site of the artist. So there is no coverage whatsoever. It seems that nobody noticed this guy's music so he remained in the underground without any coverage. The Danish Wikipedia has no article on this either. So this is an unnotable music project. And to think that this page managed to stay here since 2010... GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 15:59, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There has only ever been one holder of the title, and the content of the article merely replicates the content of the articles Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Duke of Sussex. In addition, much of the article deals with what is explicitly not within its defined scope, i.e. women who were not duchesses of Sussex. Surtsicna (talk) 09:57, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to a dab-page - The material in this article on Lady Augusta Murray should be merged into that article. and the article on the second (morgamatic) wife of Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex could also usefully be listed, even though neither had the title, due to non-compliance with the Royal Marriages Act, they might be searched for as Duchesses. Perhaps a better outcome would be to rename this to Duchess of Sussex (disambiguation) and re-create the present name as a redirect to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, with a "otherpersons" capnote leading to the dabpage.

Keep. The focus here is on the title rather than the current holder of that title. "Duchess of Sussex" is a novel style with a history & context, and that title deserves encyclopedic mention. It could use (1) an update since Jan 2020 when the Duke and Duchess withdrew from the royal family, losing the use of "HRH" but retaining the right to it (2) clarity about whether "Duchess of Sussex" is now a royal courtesy title or a noble courtesy title (3) a few words and a link to the relevant authority over such titles and styles, presumably within the College of Arms, with Her Majesty the ultimate authority of course. This particular strange case reveals a lot about how these titles are given and taken away. --Lockley (talk) 22:37, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it cannot really be "novel with a history", can it? :) I do not see evidence of significant coverage of the topic; the title of the duke's wife is never discussed independently from the dukedom itself. All three of your points apply to Duke of Sussex just as much, and there is no reason to duplicate the information when all of it concerns a single dukedom. Surtsicna (talk) 11:33, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Despite WP:NINHERITED, this appears like an article consistent with other ones for British royalty titles (eg. Duchess of Cambridge) and I see no reason why this one would be any less notable than the others (and the points Lockley makes are also quite convincing): at the very least, nominator could have considered WP:ATD and could have suggested a redirect as this is a valid search term to its so far only holder. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Of course a redirect is a possibility. That is what this discussion is supposed to establish. Other stuff exists, such as Duchess of Cambridge article. Similarly to this article, that topic that does not need an article separate from Duke of Cambridge. There is no significant coverage of either title independently from the article about the dukedom. Surtsicna (talk) 11:33, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, as we've got Duchess of Cambridge, Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of York etc etc. GoodDay (talk) 12:22, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I understand the nom, however, upon reading the article I found it informative regarding the history of the title and even the non-use of it is of note (and per the refs, it is chronicled in reliable sources). Can't see a reason not to keep what is a well written and informative article, and per others articles on other British titles such as Duchess of Cambridge, Duchess of Cornwall, and Duchess of York etc. Britishfinance (talk) 13:18, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see how you could have drawn that conclusion from the references, Britishfinance; only one out of the 10 references mention the term "Duchess of Sussex" and even that one is in reference to Meghan Markle rather than the title itself. That none of the ten references contain anything about the title Duchess of Sussex says a lot about the notability of the topic. The same is true for the articles Duchess of Cambridge, Duchess of Cornwall, and Duchess of York; they too are original research compilations with no sources to demonstrate notability or, worse yet, verify the content. Besides, citing the existence of some other articles as reason to keep another article does not contribute anything to the discussion. As WP:WHATABOUTX says, "just pointing out that an article on a similar subject exists does not prove that the article in question should also exist". Surtsicna (talk) 13:59, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A google search of "Duchess of Sussex" "Lady Augusta Murray" or "Duchess of Sussex" "Cecilia Underwood", gives plenty of references (more in Google books) regarding the fact that these two women did not become a formal "Duchess of Sussex". A google search of "Who Was The Duchess Of Sussex Before Meghan Markle", gives more refs discussing the history of the title, such as here, here. I do think that this is of interest to readers and per NEXIST, there are plenty of references discussing the history of the title and why it was not used. I can't see the reason to delete or redirect this information (which so others have written about). Even Quora (not an RS) have: Who was the first Duchess of Sussex?. thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 14:21, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would not call 10 hits "plenty of references", especially when all of them repeat one fact alone: that the two women were not duchesses of Sussex. We can probably agree that a piece with the phrase "Shady As Heck" is not reliable (thus failing WP:GNG). Washington Post is impeccable but it does not discuss the title Duchess of Sussex; rather it is about the history of the dukedom. Surtsicna (talk) 14:46, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable enough. To sufficiently justify the claims made in the article, we would need sources that significantly cover his work from outside of India ... I can't find a single one. Indeed the sources provided seem marginal, at best. The article has been written by single-purpose accounts which make spammy edits like these ones to Nursing care bed and this one to Motorized wheelchair. Graham87 09:51, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

His Contribution is getting more attention now a days, recently he developed an low cost smart electric wheelchair Electronic Control System for Motorized wheelchair.By this Huge difference in price will come to Motorized wheelchair and help disabled people. He is notable person and his contribution is valuable. His works are covered by all Medias in kerala.Even National Medias Indian Express also covered his work. People should know his work. Simple thing , am an person using an motorized wheelchair,his invention will help thousands of people like me and he is using his knowledge for social helping. Like me lot of people. BhaskerDeepak

One More Information i like to share is , He is working on an Electronic Controller Unit for Motorized Wheelchair , which will help Blind Old Age people for their movement and also developed an Electronic Control Unit for Seat Lifting mechanism for Motorized Wheelchair. His Social Contribution and contribution to disability Industry is more in Technological scale. He should be supported and given more chances. BhaskerDeepak —Preceding undated comment added 10:51, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We do not judge a subject's notability for an article on how worthy their cause is, but rather how often they are mentioned in reliable sources. A link to the Indian Express article would be nice, but unnless it is a substantial feature article with testimonials from international clients, I doubt it will count for much here. Graham87 11:01, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

i Read his invention news in Indian Express and later read in almost all medias[ With in India], No body reported outside of india. Attached the indian express newspaper cutting even. Article came inthe Indian Express is not an feature report , it's explaining his invention details. A Person like him should be supported for his contributions to disability field by providing reference like wikipedia articles including his news citations. May be he can be an inspiration to upcoming generations who are planning to provide their technological contributions to disability field. Media news cited is stating that , he spend more than 3 years for understanding the customization requirements commonly coming in Motorized wheelchair and done these contributions. BhaskerDeepak

One more Point is He is from an Remote Village, his inventions contributes to disability field a lot. Almost all well known medias of that particular provinces reported the news as it is an major contribution from him. But an reliable sources still not reported his news is not his problem, we need to consider the reference news and support him like providing Articles like this. As an Contributor and an needy person , i felt the importance of his contribution. We need to support persons like him, after that only may be outside india somebody will report his news.BhaskerDeepak

He is an indian upcoming Electronics Engineer , may be he will honored for his current invention after this crisis.BhaskerDeepak

I've checked out the article using optical character recognition software, since I am blind and use a screen reader. It does not really satisfy the requirements here, because it seems to take his word (or the word of his press agency) about the uniqueness of the product as gospel, so it is not really an objective article. Unfortunately I have had to nominate File:News Sooraj.jpg for speedy deletion, now that I know it exists, because you almost definitely do not have the right to release a random newspaper article under a Creative Commons license, unless you happen to be the newspaper publisher. I also nominated file:Sooraj Surendran1.jpg for deletion while I was there, because it is badly sourced, and if it wasn't taken by the uploader it was almost certainly a copyright violation as well.

- @Mbdfar and Toughpigs: I normally wouldn't be so strong about insistance on international coverage, except that the subject of this article works in a very niche area in disability that is almost guaranteed to get (relatively non-objective) feel-good coverage if the media finds out about it. I feel like, if he really was notable enough for Wikipedia, I'd be able to find materials from, say, international charities that discuss his work. I'm not specifically picking on India here ... I'd hold coverage restricted to any country to this standard ... even the US, the most populous developed country. I'm going to notify WikiProject Disability about this discussion; I thought this would happen automatically, but it seems not to have. Graham87 04:24, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Also the other thing that concerns me about this article ... at the moment the only way to stop it from being perpetually orphaned is to unduly promote his products in other Wikipedia articles. There is no objective coverage that says he has yet pioneered or revolutionised anything, so this would be undue weight. Graham87 04:30, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but merge: Ostrich Mobility seem more notable than Surendran, they can be bought internationally, were used in a recent film, and 2,000 were provided to the local region (which also has a WP page). I think the page should be renamed to Ostrich Mobility which has more sources, and his work can be moved to a heading under there. While he seems an interesting designer or is not clear how much contribution he individually is making compared to Ostrich Mobility.

Delete'. The topic clearly fails NFICTION.

Comment. Please stop the personal attacks on the deprodder. It is unnecessary and does nothing towards making the case for deletion. If it continues I will do a proceduaral close of this AfD to put a stop to it. You may not agree with Andrew's opinions on what is, and is not notable, but he is entitled to them. As it happens, I was looking at the same time at a sister prod, Ramsey Campbell deities. I found some discussion of Campbell's creation of new creatures in the Cthulu Mythos, but not quite enough to tempt me to deprod. I haven't looked at this one (at least not yet), but assuming there is a similar amount of material, there is at least an arguable case for it, so deprodding is hardly an abuse of the process. SpinningSpark 10:16, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This topic does not seem notable enough (as a WP:GNG fail) to warrant an article. Also note that fictional entities are also suggested to follow the GNG guideline.

I do agree that an AfD is a better option for this article's deletion than a PROD, and any potential attacks towards any other contributors involved should stop.

I think this position is not in keeping with Wikipedia policy. Obviously this article is lacking in secondary sources, but what would an article about a fictional subject be without plot-summary, which is naturally based on primary sources? - That's to preserve. E.g. WP:NOT says summarys should be contained (only they should not stand alone); Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction lists as elements based on primary sources which are fine to include "background information on fictional creatures"; and WP:PRESERVE: Instead of removing content, consider ... merging or moving the content to a more relevant existing article; all that under the premise that the parent topic is fine to include as in WP:LISTN, which is under discussion. Daranios (talk) 20:15, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~Light Merge to Cthulhu Mythos deities - The topic as a whole, that is the list of deities created by Brian Lumley, does not have significant coverage that would pass either the WP:GNG as an article, nor WP:LISTN as a list. The individual entities are already covered at the main Cthulhu Mythos deities article, as well, making this an unneeded WP:CFORK. The parent article already includes both the real world information presented here (the stories that they first appeared in) as well as their fictional history, and as the vast majority of the information here is not cited to any sources, reliable or not, there is no content needed to Merge. Rorshacma (talk) 16:06, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Update - As pointed out below, the little bits of real world information on the stories that these characters originated from are missing from the main list, so it would probably be fine to merge that. I have revised my recommendation accordingly. Rorshacma (talk) 21:27, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I could see, the stories these deities appeared in are missing in Cthulhu Mythos deities except for one! If I missed them please let me know. As another piece of real-world information missing in Cthulhu Mythos deities, the attribution ot Brian Lumley is present only for a minority. So there is real-world content to preserve! I can't see how deletion would be better for Wikipedia than a merge. Daranios (talk) 20:15, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are a couple of them that are included, as information in a footnote instead of the text of the article, but yes, you are correct, it looks like I was mistaken and most of them are missing that information. Rorshacma (talk) 21:27, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: none of these have achieved any third party coverage, the way we've seen for some of H. P. Lovecraft's creations. There is some passing mention of one of the deities, but not enough to establish notability of that deity, let alone the whole list. (You'd be better off trying to expand an article about that deity than trying to WP:COATRACK all of them onto one's notability.) But if it would produce a compromise, it's possible that the one deity mentioned briefly in independent sources would be appropriate to clean up and merge to Cthulhu Mythos deities. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:09, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Most of these deities appear in the Enciclopedia de los Mitos de Cthulhu. Playing with Power talks about these deities as a group, but only as one example among several for how these "Lovecraft circle" deities affected and were affected by role-playing games. That together may be too little to keep the list as it is now, but the statement that there is basically no third party coverage and therefore deletion would be preferable to even a merge - even though everything points toward the parent topic being notable - is incorrect.

At best I think we can redirect this to Books in the Cthulhu Mythos, since there is really no content to merge outside a sentence about the origins of the title (and the Book of Eibon seems to a primary source too...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:59, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Discovering H. P. Lovecraft says that it's "Howard's greatest addition to the Mythos". The nomination is proposing merger not deletion and so is more time-wasting contrary to WP:BEFORE. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:25, 14 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]
Redirect to Books in the Cthulhu Mythos#Unaussprechlichen Kulten, disregarding the rambling and inaccurate comment made above, this fails GNG. Per nom, the sources that are not in-universe are passing mentions, and a literal dictionary entry unrelated to the topic. Devonian Wombat (talk) 11:33, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Books in the Cthulhu Mythos#Unaussprechlichen Kulten, where it is already covered. There is nothing to merge, as the only inline citations are from a collection of short stories, and a literal dictionary definition. There are plenty of trivial mentions of the book, but any actual out-of-universe discussion on it are very brief. Even the source that Andrew mentions above only has a couple of sentences that actually discuss the book outside of an in-universe description of it. Rorshacma (talk) 19:20, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Discussed at length in the books Encyclopedia of the Undead and Discovering H. P. Lovecraft. Numerous other books contain more than a passing mention. A fictional element that not only appears in numerous Lovecraft stories, but has been picked up by multiple authors is notable. SpinningSpark 23:12, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:PLOT summary is not a "discussion at length". The second source contains only the sentence cited by Andrew above, and then launches into a plot summary. The first source gives us a sentence about involvement of two other people in this creation, one who might have suggested it to Lovercraft in a letter, and another who might have translated the title. Hardly an in-depth discussion (the entire paragraph about this book is five sentences; half of which is PLOT; as I said, there is not enough content anywhere about this book to even de-stub it, unless we found plot, and even that is rather short). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:48, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - That is a grotesque misrepresentation of what is in the sources. Discovering H.P. Lovecraft has much more that the sentence quoted by Andrew. Yes, it does have some in-universe description, but after that, a new paragragh goes into a discussion of the title, the people involved in creating it, and its German grammar. Five other names besides Lovecraft are involved in this, three of which have Wikipedia articles. The next paragraph moves on to a story by Robert Bloch (not one of the five above) and an out-of-universe discussion of von Juntz, the fictional author, and a comparison between Lovecraft's, Howard's and Bloch's representation of him. That paragraph spills over on to the next page which gbooks won't show, but it clearly continues as an out-of-universe discussion of the same topic.

Encyclopedia of the Undead has more than you claim for almost exactly the same reasons; after a brief in-universe description, it returns to an out-of-universe discussion. Your claim that it is only five sentences is demonstrably and countably wrong. True, there are only five full stops, but a sixth sentence spills over, just like the first source, on to a page that gbooks won't serve. So clearly both books have more information that we haven't yet read. I also find your repeated use of "might" to denigrate the sources distateful. There is no doubt that Lovecraft meant the book to be synonymous with Howard's Nameless Cults. The source does not doubt this, it only questions whether it is an entirely fictional invention of Howard, or if Howard based the idea on a real book. SpinningSpark 13:00, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are you talking about page 429 of The Encyclopedia of the Undead? That is actually viewable for me in the preview when I click on your link. The remainder of the text of it reads as "...to be desired (the name literally means Unpronounceable Cults. Lovecraft, however, liked the idea and gave it at least three editions - Dusseldorf (1839), Bridewell, and a heavily expurgated version published by the Golden Goblin Press in 1909". So, it just finishes the sentence on its name, and then has one additional sentence on its fictional history. Rorshacma (talk) 15:00, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I concur, I don't see in-depth discussion here, half-focused on plot, 2-3 sentences we can rescue are not in-depth. This article is destined to be an eternak stub (outside a fancruft plot summary); all we can really say is that this book was created by Howard, then reused by Lovercarft, and that they played a bit with German grammar or such. That's a sentence, maybe two, of non-plot content if we are generous. How can anyone think this deserves a separate article is beyond me (per Wikipedia:One sentence does not an article make). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:10, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - a clear case of WP:BEFORE part c not being done. This article should've had an advert tag and should've been cleaned up in the 14 years it existed unsourced. I've began fixing it up with the sources I could easily find. Strike meets WP:DIRECTOR as (if you bother to google her) she is often cited by peers (ie. actors/directors in South Africa) as an inspiration (crit. 1).

The book notes:
Powa Technologies Case Study

In February 2016, British FinTech startup Powa Technologies went into receivership at the hands of Deloitte, signaling the collapse and failure of a once-promising startup. While tech (and even FinTech) startups fail on a regular basis, Powa was unique in that it represented a FinTech unicorn. It had risen to prominence and successfully acquired other FinTech companies while raising approximately $175 million in funds. For additional perspective on the hype surrounding Powa prior to its failure, British PM David Cameron had lauded Powa as a potential lightning rod for the UK's recovering post-recession economy.
...
Powa's story serves as a cautionary tale to FinTech startups and includes many valuable warnings of exactly what not to do when trying to raise capital, develop products, and grow your FinTech startup. We attempt to shed light on the collapse and also provide key takeaways to help prevent a repeat in other FinTech companies. Several of the more glaring issues that led to Powa's failure appear to be a complicated and tension-filled management structure, too much funding, too high of a burn rate, and a bad product. However, before we delve into these specific problems, let's begin with a brief historical overview of the rise and fall of Powa.</blockquotee>

The article notes:
Founded by the flamboyant Wagner in 2007, Powa was developing a product called PowaTag, which would allow consumers to scan an item or advert with their smartphone and see details or buy the product immediately. It was billed as the Shazam of shopping; Powa also built retail websites and made tills and card-reading technology.
Wagner said in 2014 that Powa was worth $2.7bn and the company claimed that 1,200 businesses had signed up for PowaTag, although it was later reported that many of these were non-binding letters of intent.
But it all came crashing down two months ago, when US-based investment group Wellington Management, which had put up £137m in loans and equity starting in 2013 and was Powa’s biggest investor, called in £42m of loans that were due for repayment in December.

The article notes:
But last month Powa Technologies collapsed into administration - and it rapidly became clear that it was more akin to a lame old donkey than a unicorn. Its demise has raised questions about the health of London's much vaunted fintech (financial technology) sector, and about the wisdom of sky-high valuations for unproven businesses.
In recent weeks, I've spoken to a number of people connected to the mobile ecommerce company in an attempt to work out what went wrong.
What those people have told me is that Powa was an almost textbook case of how not to run a company - no clear strategy, directionless management, overblown claims about the technology and a reckless attitude to money.

The article notes:
Powa signed partnerships with many banks, telecom firms and retailers in Europe, Asia and North America, but former employees said the deals had no or little upfront money and that Powa constantly missed product-delivery deadlines because they spread their resources too thin.
...
A report released in April by Deloitte, which helped lead the administration, showed that Powa’s main company made £4.8 million ($5.9 million) in revenue in 2015. Its staffing costs were £24.8 million and its real-estate costs were £2.3 million that year.

Powa Technologies, one of the smooth-talking Londoner's companies, has developed a mobile payments system similar to Mr Dorsey's Square, the dongle that turns mobile devices into payment card readers. He even used the same stock shot as Square to promote it, which earnt him a "cease and desist" letter from the US company's lawyers in July.
...
Powa's newest product, mPowa, will im-prove current payment systems, he says. Far smaller than the bulky payment terminals currently used in restaurants, for instance, its card chip reader connects via Bluetooth to the merchant's mobile and sends a receipt by text message or email to the cardholder. It levies a 0.25 per cent fee per transaction on top of what the card services provider charges, usually about 2.5 per cent.

The mobile payments company Powa Technologies has acquired a Hong-Kong rival in a deal that it says puts a $2.7bn (£1.6bn) valuation on the British startup.

Major retailers including Argos, JD Sports and Laura Ashley have signed up to use Powa’s technology, which allows shoppers to bypass tasks such as entering card and address details when making purchases. The company’s technology, PowaTag, scans a code placed on a website, shop window or advert that directs consumers to the checkout on their smartphone.

The article notes:
When UK-based POWA Technologies managed to raise $76 million in a series A last month it turned a few heads. Why? Because it’s not every day that a British tech firm – or any tech firm raising capital for the first time – attracts such a large sum, and from a single American financier, no less.
...
In other words, PowaTag will be eating Amazon’s lunch, as well as that of any number of low-price online retailers. All manufacturers will have to do, it would seem, is lower their prices to match those of their competition.
...
Part of Powa’s $76 million will go to building a supporting infrastructure for PowaTag. Additionally, the company will be hiring “hundreds” of sales personnel in the next year and they will not all be focusing on PowaTag. By licensing its already released Powa ecommerce platform to retailers, it hopes to change the in-store buying experience by offering the personalized touches associated with online shopping, i.e. remembering your likes, dislikes and customer profile. Self check-out, Wagner said, is also part of the package. “There’s a demand from the retailers to change the physical experience and you’ve seen elements of that in the Apple AAPL +1.07% store.”

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Powa Technologies to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

The article contains negative material about Powa Technologies' collapse:
After the collapse of the business a series of articles by the Financial Times called into question several of the claims that had previously been made. Powa's self-proclaimed 2014 valuation of $2.6 billion was investigated and it was concluded that $106 million (£75 million) was a more accurate figure.[18] The claimed "10-year strategic alliance with ‘limitless’ potential” deal with China UnionPay that Dan Wagner personally described in a quote to the BBC as “Why did China UnionPay decide to partner with a little British technology company? We’ve trumped ApplePay and the rest of the world here.” was found to be unknown to China UnionPay who had their lawyers request that Powa stop making the false claims[19] and the majority of the partners upon which the investment and consequent valuation had been based, were found to be just Letters of Intent at best.[20]
The article contains other negative material:
As of early 2016, the company had run into financial difficulties, missing payments to staff and third parties.[10] Its Hong Kong office had failed to pay its employees wages on time and to its ex-employees within 7 days, with some of the employees having to seek help from the Labor Department.
I do not consider the article to be promotional.

Just curious if you have read all those articles yourself or just made a copy-paste job here and taken entire space for this discussion. If you will read all those media coverage, it is merely Press coverage or typical marketing of any company. secondly this article is written by the company itself.

Keep - I see you are back after a block and long hiatus to bludgeon the Wikipedia process yet again (more on that in another forum).

Please Don't get personal. Keep it simple and to the point about your opinions. I have read the article and wikipedia is not for writing failure or news story of a fraud or scam. secondly I studied about the founder, he has been using press and media to use as marketing tool and all of his company including his own biography including the Photograph (which is a real non-sense for any notable person, I am happy he did not put his facebook profile pic).

Its not personal. Its about your editor conduct. I highly doubt you will adhere to your promise, but there is no such thing as "wikipedia worthy to keep" in any guideline I know of. An article is notable if it receives significant coverage in reliable sources. For companies such as this, it must have references meeting WP:ORGCRIT which is certainly does as shown above. To say that these are all PR articles because of the founder's behavior is a fallacy as one isn't associated with the other.

1. He floated his first company for £120m, aged 31. Now Powa CEO Dan Wagner says the UK doesn't get tech.

2. "Everything I have has got an A on the end," Wagner says. "I'm thinking of changing my name by deed poll to Dan Wagna." Now, even his City detractors must concede that's not such a bad joke.

3. Twitter? Seriously. “The system is unbelievable. It generates powerful rules combined with the flexibility and speed to make changes and test new approaches with immediate results. It’s a superior product representing great value for money.”

4. Dan Wagner: 'Maybe I'm not the best person to run a public company.'

On What level of articles are considered Press and Journalism? He is using media and press just to build his public images where most of the articles are published in online blogs without having any journalistic background.

He is rich, does it make him notable for wikipedia? Look at the profile pic, is it facebook? Wikipedia is not for writing Autobiographies, not for covering and rewriting media coverage for sure.

and most important part is - this article has been questioned for COI issues. it has been written by his press team which is violation of wiki norms. Light2021 (talk) 09:36, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Millie, New South Wales[edit]

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

Categorized as a "town" in New South Wales, but is very clearly not a whole town. The Australian Place Names gazetteer shows it as a locality, and this Australian tourism site mentions it as a crossroads, this book from 1889 calls it a "pastoral holding". There's a bunch of GBooks results where it appears in name only, basically listed as a placename with no elaboration. I think it's fairly clear that it doesn't meet WP:GEOLAND as either a legally recognized entity, or a notable non-recognized populated place. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:04, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, a defined locality, even if the current article is very poor.--Grahame (talk) 02:48, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
leaning keep This is a former town which for some reason the Australian census is keeping on the books. The census data actually covers a considerable area in which the point marked as Millie sits at one edge; three families totalling twenty-eight people is a group of farms, not a town, which is exactly what GMaps shows. The only decent historical evidence is the war memorial registry entry, which links to some articles from the 1900-1901 era which describe the erection of the memorial in terms which make clear that there used to be a town there, but there certainly is not one now. I'm having some trouble with the exact location of the memorial, as different sites give different coordinates, and the aerials aren't high enough resolution to locate it. My qualms about keeping this stem from the necessary synthesis in putting this all together: the census doesn't say explicitly what the area of Millie is supposed to be, and one can only tell the town is not there by looking. But 28 people is certainly not the population of a town named Millie, and besides the memorial, that's about all there is to work with. Mangoe (talk) 15:09, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I'll try to beef up the article with some additional refs over the coming 48 hours. There isn't a lot of material (tribal politics in Orissa in 1950s isn't very well covered by online refs...). But in the meantime, the party was represented in national parliament per https://loksabha.nic.in/members/partyardetail.aspx?party_code=88&lsno=1 and thus passes WP:NPOL. --Soman (talk) 13:29, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Since the party members who served in the national legislature are notable (and should have articles, but might not, we have atrociousy low coverage of all national legislatures outside the US, UK and maybe a few other European countries, horrible for most parts of Africa and Asia), then the organization would seem to meet default notability guidelines as well.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:33, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The announcement, development and failure of this park was covered by the press in some detail. When the article was nominated, it included some press release language and promises that the park would open circa 2017; I edited the article to put everything in past tense, and cut the more peacocky sentences. I added a couple of sources that discuss the struggles of the project from an outsider's point of view:
- "Jordan-Based RGH Entertainment Vows To Stay Open Amid L.A. Layoffs" by David Robb, Deadline (Feb 25, 2015)
- "Dreamscapes and Drug Towns: Jordan's Aqaba Is the Future of Segregation" by Ty Joplin, Albawaba (July 10, 2019)

Stefan Klein[edit]

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

Non notable narcissist. Yet another vanity autobiography from this individual. Was not notable as a musician as repeatedly deleted Død Beverte Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Død Beverte (2nd nomination). His "band" was not notable, the repeatedly deleted Dethcentrik (now salted), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dethcentrik (4th nomination). Now he is pretending to be notable as a storm chaser. Let's look at the sources supporting that laughable claim. 1. Viewer photos shown on a weather broadcast. 2. photo credit from wikicommons. 3. video credit. 4. no mention of him. 5. Quote from him. Nothing even coming remotely near notability. "He openly speaks out against weather and climate misconceptions". What a wank.
The rest of the article shows the truth, this is just a coatrack to try and use Wikipedia again as a venue to promote his "music". All that has repeatedly been found to be non notable. Nothing has changed since the last afd. Without the lastest vain claim of notability in another area this would be a textbook G4 speedy deletion.

Delete (and salt if viable) - If this AfD ends up like the previous band-oriented AfDs linked by the nominator above, we're in for a real slog. From the previous AfDs it is quite obvious that this guy's two bands got some minor notice but not nearly enough to establish musical notability. As for his new "career" in storm chasing, he has received no significant media coverage for that either, and the portion of the article based on that endeavor desperately tries to refbomb the reader with sources that are actually about the weather systems that he observed. The good news is that he may be running out of names under which to promote himself. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:56, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, a couple of days have passed, and Apple's announced it. Now we can add facts rather than whatever speculation the "experts" were making. Guy Harris (talk) 19:29, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Citing WP:CRYSTAL as a reason to delete this article is absurd. The plain text of that policy clearly states:

All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred. It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced. [...] Predictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in a field may be included[...]

The fact that so much reportage, discussion, and expert analysis on this exact topic has been published in reliable and independent sources establishes both that the topic is verifiable and that there is significant coverage sufficient to establish the presumption of notability. The article is literally less than 24 hours old, and is readily acknowledged as a stub. The Wikipedia Way calls for preserving and building upon the newborn article, not smothering it in its crib. — Jaydiem (talk) 20:26, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah whatever. This is the article creator talking, so big surprise. It's a guy that wanted to be the one to create the article so he jumped the gun and created it before anything has actually happened.

NobleWorks was established 26 years ago by Christopher Noble and Jay Purvis. The company was started with a $400 loan from Noble's mother, and the first line of black-and-white graphic art cards were created and sold out of Noble's kitchen in Manhattan. Current president and creative director Ron Kanfi joined the company in 1983, and became a partner in 1987. He acquired the company when Noble passed away in 2002.

Every December we uncover greeting cards that obscenely portray Christmas. In this regard, NobleWorks, a greeting card company from Hoboken, New Jersey, is arguably the worst offender.
NobleWorks has two categories of greeting cards: “nice” and “Extra” (which they call “naughty”). There are no cards in the latter category for Ramadan, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa. But there are more than a dozen tailored to Christian holidays.
For example, the “Extra” selection has a Christmas card that comments on how someone exposed himself at a party. Another card has a picture of Our Blessed Mother holding baby Jesus with the inscription, “Losing those 15 pounds was sure to be a bitch.” And there is another one with the picture of an angel that remarks how she will still enjoy the holidays even though she is having her period.

A joke birthday card that depicts an Islamic girl doll as a suicide bomber who’ll “Blow Your Brains Out” drew criticism Satuday as “bigoted and moronic” from a leader of the Chicago area’s Muslim community.
The card, which shows a picture of a “talking doll” wearing a hijab — the traditional head scarf worn by many observant Muslim women — has the words “She’ll Love You To Death” and “Pull string for message — if you dare!” printed on its front.
...
The card, made by New Jersey-based Nobleworks, is a spoof of “Aamina, the Muslim Doll,” a toy designed to teach Muslim children basic Arabic phrases such as “Peace be unto you” and “If God wills it.”

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow NobleWorks to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Cunard (talk) 10:58, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Cunard. I sat down to write this comment in the expectation that I would withdraw the nomination with thanks for finding better sources, but then I started to read the links. Here's my quick summary: Link number 5 doesn't work for me, but it doesn't look like it's an RS. Link 4 is in a column called "Passing By", which is described as follows: "'Passing By' features offbeat, intriguing, and little-known people and places." It and the first three links are extremely similar in flavor: puff interviews with the owner of the company in a local newspaper, quoting a couple of their cards, with no substantive content about the company not directly conveyed by the owner. About link 6, again it definitely confirms that the company exists and that Bill Donahue was offended by it (specifically, it seems he was offended that they don't publish enough racist or antisemitic jokes). The last is again the same sort of thing (basically it is a better version of the source currently in the article, in that the Sun-Times is a better RS than the Chicago Monitor), and again it confirms that the company exists and has offended someone, but with no significant coverage. Taking all of these sources together, maybe we could write two sentences about the company plus one or two sentences about someone being offended (I probably wouldn't include Donahue, as that's undue if no one else noticed he was offended), at most; none of them has what I would call significant coverage of the company. --JBL (talk) 14:52, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The journalists wrote profiles about NobleWorks and as part of their work, they interviewed people affiliated with the company. The journalists then included quotes from them which is standard journalistic practice. I think there is enough independent research and analysis in the sources to establish notability. I do not consider the profiles of the company to be routine coverage.
Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience says:
The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary.
The Star-Ledger says it "is the largest circulated newspaper in the U.S. state of New Jersey". I consider the The Star-Ledger to be a regional or statewide newspaper. The Star-Ledger meets the requirement that "at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary".

Draftify The subject is certainly notable, as per above, but in its current state, it can not remain as a live article. Extensive rewriting is in need, and until it is completed, this article should be kept in the draft space. --Puzzledvegetable^{Is it teatime already?} 14:34, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would certainly be ok with this. --JBL (talk) 14:52, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The subject doesn't seem to be notable. The whole article is mostly referenced to IMDb which is an unreliable source. Couldn't find any independent coverage. Keivan.f^Talk 00:48, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Dear Dumb Diary. And no, leaving the Internet Archive link in the history isn't a copyright issue - it's a lending library, they own those books and lend them out digitally. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:10, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Dear Dumb Diary (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. I was unable to find substantial coverage about Dear Dumb Diary: Live Each Day to the Dumbest that would allow it to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.

Comment from Nominator Why a redirect to the book series article, when other individual book entries don't have one? ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 14:58, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The other book in the series could have redirects created to the series article too as they are plausible search terms. I support a redirect to the book series per Wikipedia:Redirect#Reasons for not deleting, which lists several reasons including:
1. "They have a potentially useful page history ..." – Dear Dumb Diary: Live Each Day to the Dumbest contains potentially useful information in the "Synopsis" section that could be incorporated into the series article.
2. "They aid searches on certain terms." – readers who search for this book's title will be directed to the series article, which has information about the book (currently, it's just the book's year of publication but an expanded article could discuss the book more).
