S.W. Randall Toyes and Giftes[edit]

S.W. Randall Toyes and Giftes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

This article, created by a sock [1] known for creating articles about shopping malls and other organizations/places in Pennsylvania, was recently nominated for AFD, then WP:HEYed by members of the Article Rescue Squadron after being posted on the rescue list, and the nominator withdrew the nomination. I am re-nominating per WP:NOTADVERTISING, WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:NOTTRAVEL. The business was started in 1970 and claims in its advertisements to be Pittsburgh's oldest specialty toy store (still in operation). Obviously Pittsburgh had toy stores before 1970. However, the business does not meet WP:NCORP/WP:ORGCRIT due to a failure of independent, non-promotional, in-depth sources. All of the sources in the article are either (1) travel guides (Moon Pittsburgh 1 Moon Pittsburgh 2 Insider's Guide to Pittsburgh 1 2), (2) directory listings (Squirrel Hill Neighborhood History, directory of discount stores), (3) brief mentions (WSJ, Duqsm.com), (4) or "churnalism" in websites and newspapers (BlogSpot, OnlyInYourState.com, Bizjournals.com, Trib Live interview, industry journal interview, The Incline, Hoodline, Essentially Pittsburgh, Post-Gazette interview). We all appreciate the efforts that go into a WP:HEY attempt, but this is just a toy store in Pittsburgh; it's not a notable business or landmark, and Wikipedia is not the yellow pages.

  • Keep The nom's characterization of the sources is highly selective and misleading. What the in-depth reliable sources have to say:
  • Claire Sykes of the magazine Edplay (an independent magazine in print and online - this article appeared in the print edition) did an in-depth profile of the company in 2019.[2] She states "S.W. Randall is the city’s largest specialty toy store."
  • Bob Batz in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette [3] said "the store has been a local landmark since 1970". The nom's claim that it "is not a landmark" is funnily enough directly contradicted by a reliable source which is directly asserting the notability of the company. We rarely see these kinds of strong statements of notability from such a high level of reliable sourcing.
  • Joyce Gannon again in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette [4] wrote a lengthy piece about the store and its history. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is the largest/leading newspaper in Pittsburgh it is the city equivalent to LA Times, New York Times and Washington Post.
  • Tim Schooley in Pittsburgh Business Times asserts "SW Randall Toyes & Giftes has become a Pittsburgh tradition", another strong assertion of notability from a reliable source.
Notability is what sets a topic apart from its peers, there are many toy stores, why is this one special (notable)? Audrey Guskey, an associate professor of marketing at Duquesne University, noted how different this store is from others and "To find a store like this that’s thriving is truly a gift to the local community" (same Business Times link, emphases added).
-- GreenC 21:06, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:HEY. The first AfD, which closed less than 24 hours before this one opened, was withdrawn by Meatsgains with the comment, "Woah! This article has improved tenfold. I will withdraw my nomination. Great work folks." Levivich's nomination saying that "this is just a toy store in Pittsburgh" sounds like WP:IDONTLIKEIT. The sources provided show that this is a well-known and popular store. For example, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article isn't "churnalism", it's a reliable source spotlighting a prominent local store. The article has been greatly improved with many references, and deserves to stand. -- Toughpigs (talk) 21:09, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep I took part in improving the article and adding RSs to reveal the history of the company. Green C has done a great job of revealing misleading characterizations of the RS by the nominator. The nomination is vexatious WP:DELAFD: Renominations shortly after the earlier debate are generally closed quickly. It can be disruptive to repeatedly nominate a page in the hope of getting a different outcome.. The AfD was an overwhelming keep a WP:HEY candidate and it was nominated for DYK. FYI: This is a second nomination and this AfD should reflect that. Here is the first. Lightburst (talk) 22:39, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Snow keep for reasons already decided at the first AFD. YGBSM! This is just serial disruption, akin to WP:Vandalism. Indeed, this nominator User:Levivich chose not to participate in the last AFD. He slept in the weeds and now uses an ambush. Instead he wants a do-over.
The alleged sock made one edit amounting to a short paragraph. Essentially, this is an argumentum ad hominem and is irrelevant. There is no "guilt by association" recognized in Wikipedia. And there is nothing other than coincidental editing of the same article; and no proof of anything beyond that.
Moreover, he ignores the WP:RSsourcing of this article, including the books.7&6=thirteen () 00:37, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP based on the massive improvements made to this article. That's what I said last time, and its only been a very short period of time, so nothing has changed. I learned recently you can ask someone to reopen an AFD that closed in KEEP if you want to arguing the results. See: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Incineroar. Dream Focus 03:28, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, not that I think it has any chance to be deleted at this point with all the keep votes, but I'm voting delete in light of GreenC transparently extreme hyperbolic reason for voting keep that goes against WP:GNG in pretty much every way a vote can and plus I semi agree with the original nominator about its dubious notability. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:25, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Calling the sources "extreme hyperbolic" sounds a bit.. hyperbolic. The sources themselves are directly asserting notability. This is why GNG says "Significant coverage". What is "Significant"? Some people believe it's length, long articles, but that's not what it means. It means significant enough to demonstrate notability. It could be a single sentence in the New York Times (eg. "The person was the most important scientist in their field"). That alone, a single sentence, is significant coverage. Which is exactly what we have here: the store is "a Pittsburgh landmark". Another source says it is "a Pittsburgh tradition". These are direct assertions of notability, it is only hyperbole if you are personally disagreeing with the sources. But that goes against GNG, which says we look at what the sources say not what we personally believe. -- GreenC 14:45, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The sources say what they say. Nobody made this stuff up. WP:Verifiability; not WP:Truth. I don't like it is not an argument. 7&6=thirteen () 15:12, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This article is in pretty good shape. It has sources to meet GNG. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 03:14, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete OK, so it is a well-known toy store in the Pittsburgh area; but looking for non-local sources, one of them (Hoodline) actually isn't, and the rest are mostly travel guides about Pittsburgh. I'm really not seeing the notability here. Mangoe (talk) 03:34, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds to me like WP:IDONTLIKEPITTSBURGH. Things that are in Pittsburgh matter too. -- Toughpigs (talk) 03:40, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like WP:AUD to me. Levivich[dubiousdiscuss] 19:09, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete This seems like a nice little store that is a community fixture to people living in Pittsburgh. But the coverage is almost entirely local (Pittsburgh newspapers and travel guides), which is insufficient to prove encyclopedic notability. Most long-standing small businesses get some coverage in local newspapers - I just searched for my favourite pizza joint on Google News and found 5 reasonably detailed articles. But we don't have articles about every pizza place, mom and pop store, or local fundraiser, because we are a global encyclopedia, and these topics are not of interest to anyone outside of a small area.
Looking at the non-local sources, Edplay is a trade magazine that publishes native advertising [5], and the article is an interview with no independent analysis, which is not held to be a GNG supporting source per WP:INTERVIEW. The entirety of the coverage in the WSJ article is: "People come in and are open to suggestions," said Jack Cohen, owner of S.W. Randall Toyes & Giftes Inc., a chain of four stores in Pittsburgh that saw strong sales of train sets, dollhouses, stuffed animals and rocking horses. - clearly a trivial mention. The main claim to notability is that it is the largest and oldest toy store in Pittsburgh and that it has been described as a "landmark" or similar in local newspapers, and while that is probably enough to pass A7, it is not enough to pass GNG in the absence of solid sourcing. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 16:25, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
But this does not give proper weight to WP:GNG: significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. The word "significant" is important. Because the sources, while mainly local, are making direct assertions of notability ("the store has been a local landmark", "Pittsburgh tradition"). It's not merely coverage. Significance runs along a spectrum. One might still prefer to have coverage in sources outside Pittsburgh, but this is arbitrary when we have top-tier sources asserting it is a notable store over a length of time. Pittsburgh is one of the largest cities in the USA, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is a Pulitzer-Prize winning paper (2019 last) with national recognition. -- GreenC 17:46, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Pittsburgh is not one of the largest cities in the US. It has a population of like 300,000 (2.5M in the metro area). It’s 66th according to our article. And those Post-Gazette pieces are still advertorial churnalism interviews. You can find those kinds of stories printed about every local business in every local paper across the USA. Walk into any pizza shop and they’ll have an article on the wall from their local paper talking about how they’re a "local tradition" or "landmark eatery" and so forth. Levivich[dubiousdiscuss] 17:52, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Churnalism means something a Putlizer Prize winning paper we don't associate, the standard of proof is higher than gut feeling - anyway it's a pejorative term (as churnalism says) the same as IDONTLIKEIT. The store is located around and serves the metro area. 2.5M is a big metro area by any measure. DC has about 600,000 people is that also a small place? No because if you include the metro it is much bigger, most people moved out of the city into the burbs and it has become one large place. This sort of hair splitting and pedantics is typical of this afd, it is a sign of how marginal the delete case is. -- GreenC 18:31, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's also not true. Pulitzer-prize-winning news outlets also engage in churnalism. Everybody does it–I mean, literally, studies have been done. [6] [7] [8] [9]. Washington, DC has 700k in the city and a metro pop of almost 7 million, and it's still a small city – 20th in the US. This store's lack of notability is evidenced by the fact that nobody outside of Pittsburgh is talking about this store, and nobody in Pittsburgh is talking about this store, either, except that the local paper interviewed the owner a couple of times for fluff pieces in its local business and neighborhoods sections. The applicable guideline, WP:NCORP, is explicit about this in the section WP:AUD: 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. Also, WP:ORGIND talks about trade journals and interviews. Some of these sources fail WP:ORGDEPTH for being trivial, or WP:PRODUCTREV because they're product reviews (the product being the store). Finally, the article fails WP:MULTSOURCES because two interviews in the same publication (Post Gazette) counts as one source (they're not independent of each other, as required). This article just doesn't pass NCORP. Levivich[dubiousdiscuss] 18:57, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The argument "Everyone does churnalism" could be used for every news source on every topic. I believe that devalues the concept of "churnalism" to the point where it's not a useful term anymore. I would want to see a much stronger consensus on what "churnalism" means and how to apply it before accepting an argument that says "everyone does it". -- Toughpigs (talk) 19:12, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Toughpigs, we don't decide whether or not churnalism is a real thing. It's the subject of academic study for pete's sake. Reliable sources decide things, not Wikipedia editors. And it's not an argument against every news source on every topic–it's just an argument against using local newspaper write-ups about local businesses as the exclusive source for an article about a local business. We don't do that, there is global consensus not to do that, and it's documented at WP:AUD and WP:MULTSOURCES, and basically WP:NCORP, and WP:GNG, and WP:NOT. The point is that every business gets written up in its local newspaper, and so that doesn't confer notability, and we are not a directory of every business, just the notable businesses. The question isn't whether people like Pittsburgh or not. It's whether this business is notable, and whether this article topic meets our notability guidelines. Levivich[dubiousdiscuss] 19:15, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette doesn't call "every local business" a landmark nor treat them with kid gloves, it is an investigative paper with professional journalists and editors. It publishes un-flattering stories about local companies. Simply being a local business does not assure "fawning" coverage. In light of the paper's reputation for reliability and unflattering stories of local companies, the evidence for churnalism is not there. Following your logic, any flattering story of a local company is churnalism ie. it would not be possible for the paper to assert notability except by way of a negative story. We don't do that, it is bias favoring negative stories while ignoring the positives. -- GreenC 15:36, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Personally I think your suggestion that those two Post pieces are "investigative journalism" or written by "investigative journalists" is ridiculous. But let’s assume you’re right. That’s still just one source, and NCORP requires at least two. What’s your second? Bizjournals.com? Levivich[dubiousdiscuss] 15:40, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    The article passes GNG, NCORP is a higher bar you have chosen and it passes that also. The source you refer to is the Pittsburgh Business Times, bizzjournal is the aggregation site that hosts their content online. Investigative paper is speaking to the reliability of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ie. it sends people out to interview and discover, for editorial fact checking, it is not merely a shop re-hasing content it publishes original stories. We don't and can't know everything about the history of each news story so we look at the reliability of the newspaper as a source. -- GreenC 16:28, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    GNG also requires multiple sources. Bizjournals.com owns "Pittsburgh Business Times". That’s just the name of bizjournals in Pittsburgh. The company puts one of those out in 43 cities. It’s just a native advertising platform. If you don’t believe me, search RSN for Bizjournals.com and see what our colleagues have had to say about it. You’re confusing advertorial for journalism. Levivich[dubiousdiscuss] 16:43, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You are continuing to make disparaging claims without evidence, this time "native advertising". It doesn't add up. First I checked RSN and don't see much conclusive only a few threads with little supporting evidence. According to native advertising the FCC requires some idea we are looking at advertising such as “Sponsored by [brand]” at the bottom. There is nothing in the article to indicate native advertising. Ok so how likely is it they are hiding it? The author Tim Schooly identifies as a Journalist and has been around for a long time. Named journalists have a reputation, is he known for native adverting? Schooly's other work at the Business Times has been picked up by reliable sources [10] which is odd if it is advertising. Schooly has published articles like this that don't look like advertising. The claim of native advertising seems weak. Then I found this statement by Business Journal that confirms they have been doing some native advertising, but only since 2016 (recall the Business Journal in question is from 2009), and that "We label all native as “sponsored content” – the preferred FTC labelling. We take one of the more conservative approaches in the industry with very clear, prominent and transparent labelling." Rather than a secret conspiracy to hide true motives, the simple explanation is they are a business magazine producing legitimate journalism. -- GreenC 18:45, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
GreenC, I'm sorry, but you just keep saying things that are completely wrong, like "Pittsburgh is one of the largest cities in the US" and "NCORP is a higher standard than GNG" and, now, Bizjournals doesn't do native advertising. It is frustrating to discuss something with someone who appears to just be making stuff up.
Q: Why does Levivich say Bizjournals.com does native advertising?
A: Because Bizjournals.com advertises it [11] [12] [13].

  • Keep. I feel that many of the !votes are dismissing reliable sources. Yes, they're mostly local news or travel guides, but nothing really convincing has ever been shown to indicate that they're somehow inaccurate or unreliable. This is solid sourcing, which proves the store's notability as a landmark and prominent local business. Naomi.piquette (talk) 20:52, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

      • I assume he's referring to newspapers.com (subscription required). 269 of the 289 results are from Pittsburgh and a majority of the results are newspaper ads, directory listings and passing mentions. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 13:15, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • I was holding out hope that an editor with 50k edits wasn’t seriously arguing that an article met GNG based on how many newspaper.com hits it got. Levivich[dubiousdiscuss] 14:28, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

            • None or few of which seem to be about currently operating businesses (NCORP). This isn’t a historical biography, you have to weed out advertising. Search results alone are meaningless. Levivich[dubiousdiscuss] 15:19, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
              • @Levivich: Apparently that is what you have done on your 2 Good Articles and 5 Did You Know articles.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:27, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
                • No I don’t think I’ve ever argued in an AFD that a topic meets GNG based on how many Newspaper.com hits it has. That argument is more or less the opposite of what GNG requires, which is very, very clear about brief mentions not counting. I’ve seen this argument made before at AFDs but usually it’s from new editors. Levivich[dubiousdiscuss] 15:31, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

                • This argument is wasting my time. I won't respond any further as I have made my point. I'm going on to making my next Did You Know article which will be based 90% on newspaper clips. You can argue all day if you want.

Comment a week in to this Walking dead exercise in resurrecting an unneeded WP:AFD. 13 KEEPs and 4 DELETEs. And a lot of comments, to be sure. Proving conclusively that a lot of valuable editor time has been wasted on tilting at windmills. I recognize that WP:AFDs are not !votes. However, You don't need a weatherman to see which way the wind blows. Hopefully this nominator will internalize this lesson for future use and stop wasting our time on pointless exercises. Time to close.

I'm not quite sure why this page was suggested for deletion. Morrissey is of significance as she played an role in influencing Canada's immigration laws to be inclusive of LGBT families and has continued to be of significance since this legal action, in leadership roles with organizations within the country. Further, her achievements have been recognized by the Canadian government, which in 2019 awarded her with an Officer of the Order of Canada. The sources for the information on this page are from mainstream news sites and academic journals. She has been the source of significant media coverage since the 1990s. Wikipedia's notability guidelines WP:ANYBIO states a person is warranted of a Wikipedia page if: "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times. "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field.[8]" Morrissey has received a significant award and plays a role in the history of LGBT rights within Canada.

This article has been essentially unsourced original research for over a decade. The content is written in a game guide style that would require a complete blanking and rewrite to meet basic style standards, assuming even that the subject is notable and encyclopedic.

I agree that the article's rules are too detailed, and the variations between Northwestern University's rules and Penn State's rules are unsourced and probably not relevant. However, WP:ARTN says that the way that the article is currently written doesn't affect the notability of the subject. If it's written badly, then the article should be improved, not deleted. I added the references to the article in a Further reading section so that people who want to improve the article can use these sources. -- Toughpigs (talk) 19:13, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Per WP:NOTHOWTO, articles should not read like an instruction manual. All of the references are game instructions, so this article can never be anything else. Also lacks notability because there are no in-depth articles discussing the topic. Glendoremus (talk) 04:30, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and Glendoremus. Aside from the fact that article is written in a completely unencylopedic manner, the article in its current state is nothing but a WP:HOWTO guide, and does not indicate notability. The sources posted above are also just instructions on how to play, meaning they could never be used in any way that would allow the article to be anything else. The game certainly exists, but none of the sources actually demonstrate that it is notable. Rorshacma (talk) 05:42, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewed as new page reviewer. IMO the album separately does not satisfy wp:notablility. Sources is a brief mention in an article and an on-line review, plus a cite which doesn't seem to verifiably define a source. 98% of this article is a massively expanded track listing, including a separate listing of every performer for each track. The rest is just two sentences. The SNG specificly describes this situation and recommends merge into the artist's article.

I appreciate the head's up. I've expanded this article somewhat. When I wrote it, I was like you, new to a unique situation. Since then, I've expanded my knowledge on writing articles a bit. As for the "massively expanded track listing." It's my opinion that an article should include as many facts as possible. For example, if I want to read about this album, I think it's important to know who the musicians were, just like I would read them in the liner notes. Without that information, the article is incomplete. I know brevity in an article is usually preferable. Maybe I could have condensed it some, but I like to follow the original notation as much as possible. that being said, if my current improvements still don't merit a separate article, merging it would be the lesser of two evils, I suppose. I'd rather keep it as is though.HowlinMadMan (talk) 16:12, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After further thought, I'd like to expand on the inclusion of the musicians. When mentioning a song in casual conversation, you wouldn't expect someone to rattle off the names of every contributor to that song's existence. That would just be silly. I believe that in print, however, that premise is entirely different. One can choose whether or not to read the list of credits. If you include those credits, the reader can make a choice. Don't include them and you've taken that choice away. It's like telling the reader what they should be allowed to know on the subject. Credit is an operative word here. When writing a permanent article about a subject which is available for the whole, wide world to view, I believe it is important, if not imperative, to give credit where credit is due. Some of my music album articles will name Discogs and AllMusic as being a source of where I find information. This is true only in the sense that I do some copying and pasting of information to save myself the time it would take to type it. I then take the liner notes and modify that information to match those liner notes more exactly. I find that those two original sources are often inaccurate and incomplete, but I still feel they should get credit for helping me obtain my goal in a more efficient way. I still appreciate them, even though they're not totally reliable. I contribute to Wikipedia to give others like myself a chance to read a more reliable, more detailed article.

Despite being a pretty well known and common D&D race, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of notability or passing WP:GNG here. While there is the 1912 "gnole", this article is clearly about the D&D version, and the former isn't notable either. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:34, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and Redirect to The Gnoll. Surprisingly few sources on the creature, and what there is just falls into the usual array of game material. There is a one-sentence mention in the The Ashgate Encyclopedia of Literary and Cinematic Monsters that merely states that their names were taken from the 1912 story mentioned in the article, which is not significant coverage. The "Other Appearances" section in this article is also rather strange, as it is claiming that a completely unrelated creature, that was very likely just named after the same source that D&D Gnolls were named after, is somehow connected to the D&D creatures with absolutely no sources to back that up. After deletion, though, a redirect to the article on the more notable subject of The Gnoll should probably be created in its stead. Rorshacma (talk) 16:35, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. Shame we can't find enough sources to have a generic (not just DnD-specific) article on the entire race, which does have recurring presence in various media. But I can't find any in-depth coverage that is not pure niche PLOT, either. The best I could find is one sentence of literary analysis here. Perhaps a mention of gnolls in literature would therefore belong in The Book of Wonder? Do ping me if better sources are found, but I don't think this can be rescued with one sentence of good quality content (reminder: GNG requires in-depth analysis). PS. Mention added. If we had an article about the short story in question, a disambig could be considered, but since we don't, I think redirect as suggested above is best, with a hat note that 'for gnolls, see Book of Wonder anthology'. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:41, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - "Ogre" is an extremely common word that has been used as a type of monster in a wide array of fiction for centuries. There is absolutely nothing to indicate why their usage in Dungeons and Dragons is at all independently notable. The only non-gamebook being used currently is the "For Dummies" book, which was just a game guide written by, then, current employees of Wizards. Searching for additional sources turns up nothing better. As there is no information here that is not just in-game information, there is nothing worth preserving or merging elsewhere.

  • Keep per WP:GNG. Falk is considered an analytics guru in NBA circles and his work is regularly cited in the media. However, this article should be kept because of the extensiveness of the outside sourcing. There are multiple, independent sources which cover Falk as the subject of their coverage.--TM 12:20, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Falk is more than just a high school basketball coach. He was in the NBA for 5+ years and spent time as an executive. Sports Illustrated did an extensive profile on him. Clearly notable. Pennsylvania2 (talk) 22:40, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments: he never played football basketball" in high school or college or professionally. He never was a coach in college or a professional team. He was the 76ers " vice president of basketball strategy, " for 2 years. He is now coach of a highschool football basketball" team in a Philadelphia suburb. The articles are PR and the headlines show it. eg., , "Ben Falk Brings NBA Experience to Barrack" If the GNG was meant to cover this, we're not an encyclopedia/ Even the best papers publish PR if they want to make a point, and in this case the point is that he's an Orthodox Jew. I have no idea how common or uncommon this may be in his profesion. DGG ( talk ) 02:10, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments: He's known for basketball. Best to know the sport you're talking about before commenting on it. Regardless, he was the #2 man in the Sixer's organization and was an executive for 5+ years in the NBA. Clearly, notable. Also, Sam Hinkie and Howie Roseman did not play sports professionally, but are clearly notable as executives.

  • Comment I am currently on the fence regarding notability but I would like to point out that Falk worked in NBA front offices for five years, but was only an executive with the 76ers for a little under two seasons. Even then NBA executives in positions similar to his are not considered to be default notable. Finally Falk wasn't Hinkie's number 2 guy, the best I can find is the Inquirer article which refers to him as one of Hinkie's right hand men. Sachin Gupta, who doesn't have an article, likely holds that distinction if anyone does (per The Athletic, Philadelphia Magazine). Best, GPL93 (talk) 02:07, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Many of the above arguments do not address the key question: does he pass WP:GNG as the subject of multiple, non-trivial independent sources? If you examine the links on the article itself, you will see that this is clearly the case. Whatever his role with a particular team, this is the metric with which we need to judge all articles.--TM 14:22, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Falk's titles as a lower-level NBA executive and high school head coach don't by themselves suggest notability, but substantive coverage of him in the The Philadelphia Inquirer, Sports Illustrated, and The Times of Israel puts the subject over the hump to establish GNG.

(assuming there is anything of value to merge) otherwise just a redirect will do. Finding sources is mainly a matter of using the mainstream terminology, then Bingo, we have a real if rather technical encyclopedic article on Wikipedia already, complete with a fair number of solid looking references. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 05:05, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Sounds a good alternative, Peter, although Membrane gas separation is a very different article from this one (probably because it has sources!). The  Membrane method of gas concentration article seems to have been used over many years simply as a coat-hook for a couple of manufacturers to hang their nitrox concentration products on. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 16:41, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    The current content of this article is a description of one type of membrane gas separation system specifically used for oxygen enrichment of breathing air. I am reasonably confident that it is a fairly accurate description given these limitations, and could be referenced by the link you removed as spam. Not the greatest reference, but not the worst by far. Manufacturers of industrial equipment usually describe the working of their products reasonably correctly, and it is not promotional in tone. Also, it is content that the existing Membrane gas separation article lacked, and I have been having a go at expanding it a bit to cover air separation applications. I have found a few potential sources, but it is largely unfamiliar technology, so I am not very efficient processing it. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 19:49, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm quite confident that the current content is an accurate description of the process, but neither your nor my confidence is tantamount to a reliable source (sadly). My objection to the Nuvair source is that it is promotional. The opening sentence of the webpage begins "Nuvair's patented semipermeable membranes ...", and the second begins "Purchase a membrane system as a standalone product for integration into an existing air compressor system ...". That doesn't disqualify it as a reliable source for other parts of its content, but is not the kind of source I'd be prepared to base an entire article on. It's worth noting that the article's first source was Coltri Sub Asia Pacific, before it was switched to Nuvair without explanation. That shows how vulnerable a poorly sourced article becomes to anyone wanting to promote a particular company's offerings, and we shouldn't be leaving ourselves open to that. Putting the content into a well sourced, larger article, as you've already done, is the way to dilute the effect. --RexxS (talk) 20:49, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • The criteria for naming an asteroid are pretty loose, so not a significant formal honor. E.g. 99942 Apophis is most likely named after the Stargate SG-1 villain, and 2309 Mr. Spock after the discover's cat,[23] neither of which have articles. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:09, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Detele Completely non notable work. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 13:02, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I objections are not substantiated per the definition of the purpose of Wikipedia. The primary reasons of objections are: 1. Non-notable work by non-notable author. 2. Does not portray a neutral point of view. I searched the purpose of Wikipedia and it came out to be:

"Wikipedia's purpose is to benefit readers by acting as an encyclopedia, a comprehensive written compendium that contains information on all branches of knowledge. The goal of a Wikipedia article is to present a neutrally written summary of existing mainstream knowledge in a fair and accurate manner with a straightforward, "just-the-facts style". Articles should have an encyclopedic style with a formal tone instead of essay-like, argumentative, promotional or opinionated writing."

In this purpose, I do not see any reference to that knowledge can only emanate from notable works. Again there is no reference to notability whatsoever. The word 'knowledge' also does not contain any implicit or explicit relation to notability. Many times non-notable people in our life such as friends, siblings or parents give us the maximum knowledge. I think the notability criterion needs a relook itself.

The second reason for deletion is that the article needs significant revisions to conform to a neutral point of view. The need for neutral point of view does form a part in definition of the purpose of Wikipedia. Therefore, this indeed is a legitimate concern. However, in the absence of any direction any objection is without a foundation. Perhaps some examples where the neutrality is absent would have been helpful?

Most of the articles in Wikipedia are not in a NPOV. What might be a neutral point of view for one is biased for the other. The objective of the community is to asymptotically approach that point of view. Of course, anybody, similar to any other article on Wikipedia, has the right to change this article to bring it more towards the neutral point of view.

I do unequivocally feel that the book and the article adds to the body of knowledge of the humanity. The book deals with legal wrangles of two significant democracies. The book brings to fore the important ramification of families torn, particularly when the tearing apart happens in two different countries. The book also expiates on the reasons and ramifications of broken family structure in the United States such as mass shootings, drug abuse, mass incarcerations and suicides.

As such, I respectfully differ with the point of view of other members in this discussion and vote to keep the article. Wilkn (talk) 05:51, 12 March 2020 (UTC)wilkn[reply]

@Wilkn: There is a huge difference between information, and knowledge. —usernamekiran (talk) 10:52, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Usernamekiran: I agree. Wilkn (talk) 10:57, 12 March 2020 (UTC)wilkn[reply]
@Wilkn: wikipedia is "a comprehensive written compendium that contains information on all branches of knowledge." Unless the book, or any subject is notable, it is not knowledge, it is just information. If we keep creating articles for all the information, we will end up creating a "database" instead of an "encyclopaedia". —usernamekiran (talk) 11:10, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Usernamekiran: thanks! So only notable stuff is knowledge? Presidents Trump, Obama, Clinton or Bush may be notable, but not necessarily knowledgeable. However, my primary school math teacher may not be notable, but still knowledgeable. Is that not possible. Yes, all the mainstream media will run after the notability of the aforementioned presidents, however, should Wikipedia also follow the suit? Can I not add a reference to an easy way to do long multiplications that was taught to me by my primary school teacher and he self published it? I respectfully disagree with your conclusion. Knowledge and notability are almost independent. If we start testing knowledge with the parameter of notability we might as well rename wikipedia as a tabloid.

  • Delete Most of the sources are press releases, and the one citation that references the New York Times is a textbook example of a source that does not confer notability on its subject: as in this example: "The New York Times is reliable, independent, and secondary – but not significant (a single-sentence mention in an article about another company)." That is exactly what this is. Vexations (talk) 22:48, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-existent place. In 2011, an anon added a fake birthplace to the bio of Robin Singh (cricketer). Subsequent editors fixed the real location, but left part of the fake birthplace, S R ngar. Later, another well-meaning editor changed it to S R Nagar, and created the locality.

The originally named place, S R ngar, bhilwara might have been real, but this current locality in Princes Town exists because of an incomplete vandalism fix. While I'm inclined to speedy it as a hoax, it has been on Wikipedia for almost a decade, so I'm more comfortable going this route. Guettarda (talk) 04:20, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete because I don't see any sources that verify this place exists. The nominator also gives a good explanation as to why this article was created. All the mentions I've found online are either a copy of the Wikipedia article or they reference the actual S R Nagar that exists (Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar), which is a different place and already has an article.

Non-notable production company that is only mentioned in passing in the context of specific films. I found no extensive coverage exclusively about the company itself, and coverage is scant at that.

  • Comment/question. The article tells us: "Elizabeth Etienne, is an American photographer. Etienne's images are part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Photography." The latter museum has a website seemingly last updated in 2011 or perhaps 2010. Etienne's website tells us: "In 2014, she hung up camera and set down her pen trading her former career as an award-winning, pro photographer (who traveled the world shooting lifestyle advertising, retro portraits, interiors, events and travel, and wrote and published 3 books on Amazon) for a PASSIONATE career in Interior Design!!"

  • Weak Keep: she seems to have been a probably notable photographer - I've retrieved and added an archived version of one of the sources, and a book review here (but is the New York Journal of Books anything serious or just fed by PR puffery? PamD 15:23, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On their submissions page, the New York Journal of Books says that you should not submit a book until it is available on Amazon.com. That is presumably so that they can put in the buy on Amazon button at the top of the review. With regard to the archived article on kodak.com that you found, this is not a good source. Anything Kodak wrote about was meant to sell more Kodak products. The same goes for the Nikon profile on Nikon's web site. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:27, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
