Non-notable video game tournament with no reliable third-party sources. I placed a CSD tag earlier, but some IP address removed it (wouldn't doubt it was the creator himself since he deleted another CSD tag on another page). JTtheOG (talk) 23:51, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:GNG, I can't find anything better than mere-mentions online, and the only cited source with more significant coverage than that is this interview in a source that does not look reliable. On the WP:NACTOR front, Legault appears to have had exactly one significant role in a notable production (her role in The Walking Dead) and thus falls short of the notability criteria included there. signed, Rosguill talk 23:42, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any independent coverage of the subject, searching on Google with both its English transliteration and the Sindhi title provided in this article.

Fails WP:GNG through a lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Sourced to an action figure database (likely non-RS), the comics and TV episodes themselves (primary source), and an "official" book about GI Joe that appears to not be independent, and thus a primary source. A further WP:BEFORE search turns up action figure sales sites, fansites, user-generated databases, etc. The best merge/redirect target is also up for deletion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dreadnoks. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monkeywrench (G.I. Joe) is also a related discussion. Hog Farm (talk) 22:43, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, article fails GNG, as it is sourced entirely to primary sources, it fails WP:PLOT, as it is written from an entirely in-universe perspective, there is nothing to merge anywhere, and there is no suitable redirect target. Devonian Wombat (talk) 00:01, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Devonian Wombat. A minor fictional character, whose article has no information sourced to reliable, secondary sources. Searching for sources also turns up nothing substantial in reliable sources. The character is not important enough to even mention in other articles, and there is no reliably sourced information to merge. Rorshacma (talk) 01:01, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Dreadnoks (or Cobra (G.I. Joe)#Factions if that discussion ends up as a merge). List of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero action figures might be a suitable target for consideration as well. As an aside, I really enjoy the juxtaposition of Hog Farm nominating Road Pig for deletion. Is there some Freudian message there? Argento Surfer (talk) 13:12, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Not notable; his "publication list" shows he has never done legitimate scholarship. NightHeron (talk) 21:50, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I searched his name in Google Scholar. The first entry says "Cited by 147" of these, most are "friendly" citations, but I found three critical ones from American Scientist, the Geological Society, London, and ohiolink.edu . His name rings up 525 entries on Google Scholar, and I have to get to page 6 of the entries to find his articles which were cited only once. I expect most are friendly citations, but I would be surprised if none were critical. On the other hand, Duane Gish gets a whopping 2,490 results, so User:XOR'easter has a point that he is less notable than Duane Gish. (Paul Nelson is a common name so searching is not useful). So in short he is less notable, but still meets GNG.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 04:37, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Manually adding up his Google Scholar citation counts, I get an h-index of 12, which (a) is too low to make a case for notability even if it were a trustworthy number, and (b) inflated by creationist literature making it untrustworthy. So, while there's not nothing, there also isn't enough. A real scientist who gets all of 3 citations in reliable sources wouldn't be notable, either. XOR'easter (talk) 17:15, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Obviously, he's a WP:FRINGE researcher, so we need mainstream coverage of him; citation circles of other creationists aren't going to count towards notability. But I found nontrivial coverage of Vardiman and his creationist work, from what appear to be reliably published sources following the mainstream scientific point of view, in Alters "A Content Analysis of the Institute for Creation Research's Institute on Scientific Creationism", Creation/Evolution [5], Collins & Collins "Pleistocene continental Glaciers: A single Ice Age Following a Genesis Flood or multiple Ice Ages?", Reports of the NCSE [6], Heaton "Recent Developments in Young-Earth Creationist Geology", Science & Education, doi:10.1007/s11191-008-9162-6, and Stix et al, "Science versus Antiscience?", Scientific American, JSTOR 24993570. So he appears to have a plausible case for being notable for his fringe beliefs. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:03, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Mere mention of a person, publication, or talk is not much on which to base a biography. I look at the first source you list and it gives nothing more than a report on a talk Vardiman gave about his denial of ice age timescales. This hardly seems relevant to the biography of this person. It may be relevant for some article that details the intricacies of creationist talking points. The other articles are similarly focused not on Vardiman but on creationist ideology for which he is merely a mouthpiece. I just don't see any biographical material that we can include from those sources. jps (talk) 21:10, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • If he is to be notable as a creationist-young-earth-ice-age-theorist or whatever, then it is exactly in-depth coverage of his creationist-young-earth-ice-age-theories that we need, not coverage of his breakups with his girlfriends or his favorite places to get his hair done. If we required that of all biographical articles we'd be stuck with an encyclopedia only of vapid celebrities famous for being famous. And it is exactly in-depth coverage of his creationist-young-earth-ice-age-theories that the sources I listed provide. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:16, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • I rather think that he himself is not all that notable, but rather his particular young-earth approach was one of many that NCSE and other 90s debunking outfits saw fit to include in their compendiums. There are dozens if not hundreds of similar obscure arguments documented at the Talk.origins archive, for example. I do not think each one deserves a standalone article, let alone a biographical sketch. jps (talk) 12:55, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional article on a blog, created by SPA. No evidence of notability, neither in the presented sources nor in a WP:BEFORE. Lots and lots of WP:REFSPAM - but only one reference link that even mentions the site itself (the New European link) - none of the other references are about The Conservative Woman blog, they're about the authors or contributors. A quick WP:BEFORE showed nobody talking about this site. The previous AFD ended "no consensus" and talked about newspapers discussing the site - but they're not in evidence. At the least, the long sections puffing up the authors need cutting - I was going to cut those, but then the article would literally only have the New European link as a reference.

  • Delete: doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG - the references in the article don't seem to talk about "The Conservative Woman", rather, about its contributors/founders, and several which are references to the website itself.

  • Delete GNG fail. I was interested in one source in detail, the "A Design Award" listed in the infobox. On the award's web site, "a more advanced and accurate, paid service (Professional Preliminary Evaluation and Judging) is available on order." for your entry to their competition. Then you also have to pay to submit, aka "Pay to play". I clicked through a bunch of leading questions and found out I could be guaranteed an award for 825 Euro, because my "design is highly likely to win a Silver or Bronze A' Design Award". This was a surprise as my design skills are good, but not always prize-winning. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:51, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's important for context first of all to read over last month's AfD involving all prior series entries' character list articles, where consensus was to delete/redirect to the relevant game's main article. This article was mentioned there, but it was suggested that what we have here is more substantiative and that any potential AfD for this page be conducted separately. So, I disagree with the first notion but agree with the second, and here we are. Much of the content this article hinges itself on is copy-pasted directly from Development of Grand Theft Auto V.

  • Delete. This article definitely has more substance than those in the aforementioned AfD, but still not enough to justify its existence. It has 18 sections for different characters—four of these include commentary on the character development, and after some research I think only three more (Lester, Jimmy, Tracey) have the potential for minor expansion. A list of seven characters (of which two are considered "supporting" and three are copied directly from the development article) simply fails to stand on its own per WP:LISTN, and the other 12 sections are just pure WP:PLOT. – Rhain 00:36, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Rhain: If consensus heads this way, we can add those tid-bits about other characters to the Development article. I have the sources saved. — CR4ZE (TC) 15:41, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Plenty of TV shows, books, and games have character lists on Wikipedia. GTA V is the second best selling game of all time. If any game deserves a list of characters, its this one. Quick searches suggest that there have been plenty of articles written about characters in this game. If we delete this, lets delete every character list off this website. Bluedude588 (talk) 14:39, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Bluedude588: Saying that WP:OTHERSTUFF exists doesn't make a compelling argument. How are game sales relevant? If you can find sourcing that expounds on the character development, design and/or reception of multiple GTA V characters—not just in-universe, crufty plot details—and if that provides enough content to merit (WP:LISTN) an entire article, that will lend your argument more weight. As far as my research has taken me (not to stroke my ego, but I have 2 FA's, a GA and a FL specific to the GTA V topic), it isn't there. There's plenty of coverage on the three leads but that's not enough to hang an entire article for all the characters on. Trevor Philips meets WP:GNG (the other two, perhaps not) and we already have the relevant analysis at the Development article already. Lists of TV/film/game characters should have established notability if there has been commentary from high-quality, reliable sources (WP:V) such that it's necessary to branch out from a parent article. If they don't, this is not the forum for an article about them. — CR4ZE (TC) 15:20, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Would it be appropriate to convert the article into something like "List of Grand Theft Auto V protagonists"? These three do appear to have received some degree of coverage in regard to development and reception. If you argue that what we have just enough to merge the protagonists' individual developments to Development of Grand Theft Auto V, I would favour merger and deletion, obviously (deletion instead of redirection to avoid IP edit war standoffs). Everything else in the article, from "Central characters" down, is entirely in-universe (with the exception of one line about Ron, sourced to a local newspaper) and not worth keeping, regardless of the outcome of this AfD. IceWelder [] 17:48, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@IceWelder: The information in the list regarding Michael and Franklin actually already exists over at the development article—it was copied directly from there to here—so there's no need to merge anything else. The protagonists article is not a bad idea, but with all of the information already existing elsewhere (not to mention that one of the three protagonists has their own article), I'm not sure it would work. – Rhain 07:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification. I double-checked and indeed, the "Creation and conception" section in this article is merely a poorer (older?) version of the "Story and character development" in the article about the development as a whole, with some lines ripped out and moved to the individual characters' sections. If the article is only kept alive through a copy-paste from another article, it might as well be deleted. IceWelder [] 07:44, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I particpated in the two previous AfDs related to Rockstar Games' character lists (1, 2) and !voted for them to be redirected to their main article. However, this game is the second best selling video game and I am certain enough coverage is out there for this be fleshed out. I am going to start improving the list with better sourcing to see what can be done. Regards  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 18:29, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are you suggesting a WP:TNT situation? If so, I do see your point there are large part with just plot infomation (I mean the amount of detail on a small side character like Lazlow is prime example of that). I mean I suppose it could be sent back to draft where there are no time limits to rework/expand the list. Though I do agree with others that there is a fair bit of coverage of Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton but indivdually less than Trevor Phillips. Regards  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 15:06, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not exactly, no. I'm suggesting that if the sourcing existed in the first place, it wouldn't have to take an AfD to rescue the page. You're welcome of course to develop further in draft space, just be wary that you would need to establish a list that is substantial enough to be notable without violating VGSCOPE 5/6. As I've said, I think this would be infeasible, but if you think you can prove me wrong with a draft, please do so. — CR4ZE (TC) 15:44, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Grand Theft Auto V. Enough RS coverage may be out there to keep this list but within the time looking I was not able to find it and at the moment it is mostly WP:PLOT. I might work on a draft in the future if I get enough time. Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton should also be redirected back to Grand Theft Auto V. Regards  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 09:03, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I don't see any reliable secondary sources that could justify an expansive list about the entire cast. Ironically, I do think there's an encyclopedic article to be created here. We already have Trevor Philips. This isn't anything but a hunch, but I bet Michael De Santa/Townley and Franklin Clinton have some potential. Agree with CR4ZE that the character coverage is probably around those protagonists, if anything, and that what coverage we could find is already at the main game article. If someone wanted to show notability, I feel like that might yield some potential. I have only found trivial mentions at first glance. Jontesta (talk) 23:02, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My inclination is that Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton scrape just under the WP:GNG, but I'm happy to hear arguments to the contrary. Trevor Philips has been the subject of much wider discussions within the gaming community—he was a considerably eccentric and divisive character and was also central to the torture controversy. Plus, we have more analysis on Ogg's contributions and the overall character development. — CR4ZE (TC) 03:23, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mass murders has thousands of pages in its category tree, many of which belong to more specific subcategories, e.g. Category:Genocides in Asia. Mass murder already exists, and complements its category, as noted on the category page: Category:Mass murders. I don't think we need List of mass murders to complement Category:Mass murders for the same reason we don't need List of crops to complement Category:Crops. This is a list that cannot approach becoming exhaustive, and even an attempt to make it close to exhaustive would result in a massive, unusable page supplanted by more useful specific pages.

Cesare Catania[edit]

This looked real enough when I started cleaning it up. However after removing a number of faked sources (press releases on blogs, primarily), finding next to nothing in RS in a search and finally examining more of the existing sources (E.G. luxurynewsonline.com monacolifestylemagazine.com), I am more or less convinced that this is a publicity job. A number of the "reporting" sources I removed also had the artist's web site listed, which is the mark of advertising, not journalism.

  • See for example the news item here, and in particular at the bottom where it says ""Promoted by Cesare Catania ART / www.cesarecatania.eu/milano-design-week-2019 / Communication by MADE4ART“.
  • This source, currently used in the article, has the artist's web site, Facebook and Youtube channels included.
  • This archived source,currently used in the article, clearly states "Press Release" at the top.
  • This source, currently used in the article, also has the artist's site, Facebook, Youtube and Instagram links, and included the text "Press Office Cesare Catania Art".
  • My Italian is so-so, but I am guessing that the headline for this supposed 'source' translates to "The great success of Cesar Catania at Montevideo"...
  • This source has to be from a press release, as it includes the artist's web site.
  • Luxurynewsonline.com is careful to include his Facebook, web site and Instagram URLs in the article. Good job.
  • Finally, when I found this article on riveiera-buzz.com in a search, I was pretty sure something was up. It included his phone number, address and email and says that Once or twice in every generation, a visual artist emerges who stands out from the rest and who will go down in the annals of art history. For the early 21st century, that person has come into focus: Italian painter and sculptor Cesare Catania.

(Edit conflict reply to Special:Diff/957722536) I'm not proposing that the press release copied the article, it just didn't seem to me like either copied the other. Rereading the articles, there is some very similar language: (differences underlined)
  • In questa opera d'arte Cesare Catania ha voluto concentrare tutta la forza degli elementi considerati di maggiore impatto energetico: la pramide rovesciata e la sfera, la polvere di marmo proveniente dalla Terra e i frammenti di meteorite proveniente dall'Universo.
  • In questa opera Catania ha voluto concentrare tutta la forza degli elementi considerati di maggiore impatto energetico: la pramide rovesciata e la sfera, la polvere di marmo proveniente dalla Terra e i frammenti di meteorite proveniente dall'Universo.
While it's not unheard of for a press release to copy a favorable review, given the fact that the press release doesn't name the review, I am inclined to agree that it's likely that the artemagazine.it article is heavily based off promotional material, perhaps even the press release before it was published on presswire.com. Even assuming, arguendo, that the two remaining sources are completely independent, I find them insufficient to meet WP:GNG or WP:NARTIST and change my !vote to delete accordingly.07:18, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
(Reply to Special:Diff/957722614) The point is moot as I've already changed my !vote, but I disagree with this sentiment. Continuing your analogy, the proper course of action would not be to throw away the entire pint of strawberries, but to throw away the rotten and eat the fresh. The proper course of action on Wikipedia would be to remove the promotional content and rewrite the article in accordance with RS.

Non-notable media outlet. It became a popular facebook page when Nepal used to suffer nationwide strikes every other day. Now that that's over, it's apparently trying to translate that popularity into an internet business. This article is probably meant to help. Note that the article says the official website is "under construction". This is the only known RS coverage. Usedtobecool ☎️ 18:51, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying that your vote is delete unless everyone else says the award is significant in which case you are voting keep?

Yeah, you just about hit the nail on the head. Jabbar fails BASIC and may meet ANYBIO#1. If the award is deemed well-known and significant (read: significant enough for ANYBIO#1), then the closer should consider my !vote a keep; otherwise BASIC applies, in which case my !vote should be considered a delete. userdude 18:06, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A "one off event" because one day she magically transformed her land ... um no ... and ... as if she didn't also get The Wildlife Trust of India noting her land as "a Green Corridor Champion of North Bengal".

  • Keep Nari Shakti Puraskar is enough for WP:ANYBIO#1; so if there is independent coverage for a stub (which it seems there is), we should keep it and let it develop. I had participated in the noticeboard thread about the award but did not come looking for this AFD, I happened upon it scrolling through Deletion sorting/India. Usedtobecool ☎️ 15:53, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There seems to be absolutely no scope to develop this article as there is nothing left to add. Further, it seems to fail WP:INDEPENDENT as well which appears when we scrutinize the deftly articulated refs. Right now, its having 7 refs out of which, [1], [2] & [3] are based on personal interview with the subject individual and hence they will be categorized as WP:PRIMARY. [4] is just an image of the subject getting the award. This is not adding any value as we already know from the first segment that the subject has received the award. Thus this is not a ref at all. [5] is again irrelevant and moreover from Facebook (Social Media) and therefore it is completely irrelevant.[6] is about 2017 award, while the subject received the award in 2018, therefore again irrelevant. [7] could not be accessed as it was locked for premium membership. There has to have sufficient notability for an individual article to have a page separate from the award page. This article has been edited post when it was listed for deletion, if such kind of refs are being extracted, even after making deep structured query searches, its a sign that the subject lacks notability. Kindly reconsider your opinion.

I don't know what [6] is. Others seem to be verifying something. Not all refs add to notability, but we are not evaluating GNG here. We are looking at additional criteria to decide whether we should maintain the article in the limited form that sources that exist allow. For that purpose, [1] and [5] are sufficient IMO. Facebook doesn't automatically equal bad; a statement from a verified account constitutes a self-published source from the account-holder, and the account holder is a reliable source in this instance.

He/She is a new user but has full knowledge on Wikipedia (mostly AFD) and like an experience editor who have total edit count: 32, so may be a sock account.

  • Keep The NSP award + this profile in India Today + coverage here, here, here, here etc is sufficient to establish notability. I believe there is an argument to be made that an article on Nuxalbari Tea Estate would be a better idea than one on Sonia Jabbar since the estate (and its elephant friendly policies) are the locus of Jabbar's fame. But the exact article title and corresponding framing of the content is not a big enough deal to keep this AFD in flux. Abecedare (talk) 19:26, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a filmmaker, not properly referenced as passing WP:CREATIVE. The only notability claim in evidence here is that he won a couple of awards at minor film festivals that aren't highly notable enough to clear WP:ANYBIO — "notable because award" requires awards that get media coverage, and does not attach to awards that can be referenced only to the awarding organization's self-published press releases because journalistic reportage about the award presentation is non-existent. This article, however, is referenced almost entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all — and of the three sources that actually are to real media outlets, one just tangentially verifies the existence of somebody else's film while completely failing to mention Alois Nashali at all, which means it's not relevant support for his notability either.
And of the two real media sources that are about him, they are both just reprints in two different newspapers of the same wire service article, thus combining into one data point for the purposes of determining whether he gets over WP:GNG or not — and they're covering him not in the context of anything related to film, but in the context of having contracted COVID-19 at his day job in a warehouse, thus just making him a WP:BLP1E at best. People do not get an automatic free pass over GNG just because they can show one piece of human interest coverage about their physical health challenges, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a lot more and better sourcing than this.

Comment By rules of Wikipedia, this article cant be deleted

When to not use deletion process?

  • Articles that are in bad shape – these can be tagged for cleanup or attention, or improved through editing.
  • Articles we are not interested in – some topics are of interest only to some people, but since Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, articles that interest some people should be kept.
  • Articles on topics you wish didn't exist for personal belief reasons – Wikipedia contains information on all topics, not just those which any person or group agrees with.

[1] kikkerdril68 And I’m editing it so therefore it cannot be deleted right now

And I’m editing it so therefore it cannot be deleted right now Yeah that's not...how it works. The article is being nominated for deletion because there are no reliable independent sources about it, not because of any of the stuff you quoted above. You need to provide reliable sources about the article if you want to contest the deletion with any chance of success. ♠PMC(talk) 00:39, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment But how is 'www.Yet.nu' an unreliable source?
Please read WP:RS and you will understand what we mean by reliable sources. Generally these are sources independent of the subject of the article and that have an independent editorial board or notable journalist as publisher. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:57, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I had PRODded this, but GB fan pointed out it has been PRODded before. I'm actually not sure what our policy is here, since it was deleted after the PROD, and the policy says "A page is still eligible for proposed deletion if it has previously been proposed for deletion through the WP:BLPPROD or WP:CSD processes"--but not after it has been deleted through the "regular" PROD process? Anyway, AfD will do: this is a list of non-notable DVDs, unverified, whose only verification (AFAIK) can come from primary sources and/or Amazon. In other words, no secondary sourcing, no notability.

The reasons in the last one included that it should be retained because "we shouldn't bite the hand that feeds us" and a WMF-designated idea of notability. Both of those were unsuitable at best, and reprehensible at worst. Nosebagbear (talk) 16:12, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, this organisation fails GNG and WP:NCORP, the few secondary sources are nothing more than passing mentions. The article is also written like an advertisement. Corporate Spam does not become a-okay just because you like the company that is being advertised. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:22, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Pending - I don't believe the organisation meets NCORP, though it might scrape through GNG. I can't get access to some of the sources, so it's a little tricky to determine. As I noted above, I'm firmly against any reasoning to retain on such concerning IAR thoughts. However, with regard to the actual nomination reason, I don't believe the format, or NPOV-level, is so bad as to require a deletion/full re-write on those grounds. Nosebagbear (talk) 16:39, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note, I'd read most of the ones below, and a number were ruled out for not meeting Sig Cov once avalanches of quotes were removed. However, I'd missed the "The Impact of Print-On-Demand on Academic Books" source, and I want to redo my BEFORE check. If it's just that, this would now be a weak delete. Nosebagbear (talk) 17:22, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Stop--there is no deletion rationale. One cannot argue that this is irredeemably promotional, and once upon a time it was a stubby but acceptable article. user:KylieInTheSkylie, for the life of me I can't figure out your signature (can you keep it simple?), but I do know that you need to read up on what these deletion discussions are about. If the content is notable by our standards and the references are good, the article stays. You can rewrite it all you like. So, in case stop wasn't clear: keep. Drmies (talk) 22:36, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your concern about my signature, although that doesn't happen to be the topic of this page. Addressing your concern about the article not being irredeemably promotional, according to the article's talk page it has been promotional since at least 2012 so surely people have noticed this and would've tried to make it conform to WP:NPOV. After looking at the article again, I'd say it could be notable. The whole reason I also gave the suggestion to nuke it is for in the event that it is decided as notable. So, whether you think it should be nuked is your consideration if it does become a option. -Kylie Take a look | What have I done | Talk to me 21:25, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
user:KylieInTheSkylie, way to sidetrack. Your signature is still weird, and you still don't have a deletion rationale other than "someone in 2012 said it's promotional". I am not sure why you feel the need to wikilink "nuke"--nothing is going to be nuked: the editor who created this created 184 articles. Do you want those all to be deleted? "Nuke" means mass deletion. Drmies (talk) 21:39, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Drmies, I'm surprised you're not aware that while that's the "formal" meaning of Nuke on Wikipedia, in AfD it is often used as a term for wiping and recommencing an article as the content is completely unsuitable. I don't actually think that applies here, "regular" cleanup would suffice. I also find your "stop" phrasing rather odd, as yes the nom didn't have a legitimate nomination reason but Wombat's delete !vote would be sufficient to prohibit any withdrawal. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:07, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If someone links nuke, it's particular. "Stop" is "stop in the name of love", because this nomination, given the previous outcome and the actual sourcing, means this will not gain consensus to delete. "Stop" does not mean "withdrawal mandatory" or whatever. Drmies (talk) 23:43, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If anything about this article is unduly promotional, why has none of the plaintiffs edited it back over the years? I have tried to do a little of that from time to time, but I am not familiar enough with the dividing line to do more. I for one would welcome some more knowledgeable edits in that direction. But there's nothing that cannot remain in the article history, nuking in whatever shape or form is a gross overreaction. (and I agree with Drmies that linking to Nuke is equivalent to expressing the meaning defined on the linked page, it is quite inappropriate to this discussion and, worse, could mislead less inexperienced editors.) — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 09:55, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You are right about the linking giving a specific meaning - apologies on my end for that, I'd missed the original link. Nosebagbear (talk)
I'm sorry about that issue, I was not aware of the implications of linking the page. -Kylie Take a look | What have I done | Talk to me 18:23, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Social class bias on Wikipedia[edit]


Social class bias on Wikipedia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

We already have separate articles on gender, ideological, and racial bias on Wikipedia, and the article Criticism of Wikipedia also gives details about these and other types of bias.

The problem with the "social class bias on Wikipedia" article is that its sources are mostly concerned with the exact same biases again. The article as it stands has 11 references and 2 additional sources. The references are

  • [13] (ref 1, 3, 4, 6 and 10); a powerpoint introduction on how to edit Wikipedia to counter bias, which doesn't mention social class bias even once
  • [14] an article on racial bias, no mention of social class
  • An opinion piece, so not a reliable source, and it doesn't mention "social class" anyway but simply deals with gender bias
  • [15] A Wired article about gender bias and racial bias on Wikipedia
  • This pdf doesn't mention social class either, but deals with social norms as they are created on sources like Wikipedia
  • This pdf again deals with gender bias
  • This is a definition about "classicism" (not the art style) and doesn't mention Wikipedia

So, none of the sources even mention social class bias... Looking for sources that actually discuss the "social class bias" on Wikipedia proves to be remarkably hard. No (Google-indexed) books seem to have tackled this[16], and similarly in Google News[17] one can easily find articles about the gender bias on Wikipedia, or the racial bias. But social class bias seems to have been neglected in the available sources, which is reflected in the sources used in this article.

Which means that we shouldn't have an article on it either. It isn't even mentioned yet in the Criticism of Wikipedia article; if there has been some study of it anyway, which so far hasn't become truly notable or visible, then a short section or mention there is the way to go.

Adding comments to my !vote: Although this article might make a good paper in a journal or magazine, it is original research. I examined every ref, and read each article and paper and study. I'll put my results at the end of the page for readability. What I found is that the article uses Intersectionality to extend research done on race and gender bias within Wikipedia and apply it to class. It has references about race and gender bias on Wikipedia, and it has references about classism. There were no sources that examine social class bias on Wikipedia. (Let me add, I am not saying there isn't a social class bias problem on Wikipedia; there could be, and there could even be an intersectionality argument to be made. But until there are secondary, independent, reliable sources discussing it in depth, it should not be an article.) Schazjmd (talk) 19:51, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep 2A00:801:42E:D09E:1556:A8C9:A57F:F35E (talk) 13:33, 24 May 2020 (UTC) You may have to read some of the content and not try to CTRL F your way to success here, not everything ever mentioned (in my opinion) tends to occur without any euphemisms for the exact same thing, the first source clearly mentions " class privilege" on page four. So it seems to be some really severe bad luck.[reply]

Also: Wikipedias about page claims that "Wikipedia's greatest strengths, weaknesses, and differences all arise because it is open to anyone", but today Wikipedia has a systemic social class bias, both in terms of content selection and in the userbase.

The wikisurvey also supports the additional information. Regarding the first article "on racial bias", within the context of where it's quoted it seems obvious to me that it's made to refer to the digital divide which is an issue in the racialised community as well as the lower class community. The article explicitly states:"Many of the arguments made regarding the systemic bias against women and racialised people on wikipedia also apply to people of lower social class, as for example a small presence within the technology sector, and a relative lack of reliable access to the Internet" before the source is cited.

The opinion piece written by Susan C. Herring (professor of information science and linguistics) which is argued have no value due to being an opinion piece, actually contains not only opinion, but also information that that's in line with research. But it was surely misplaced, so I can really see why that meant some confusion.

The case for the wierd article is the same, it's cited with a scientific study which also deals with representation, which the article also does.

Reading for context within the text often helps when trying to find out why the source is cited. Also the article claimed to be about "classicism" is about Classism. As a whole this doesn't look like charitable interpretation to me, which seems kind of well... hostile to the principles of the enlightenment. 2A00:801:42E:D09E:1556:A8C9:A57F:F35E (talk) 14:26, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It's very cool to see how much has been done since my original post. I really don't see any reason at all for removing the article,quite the contrary I think it should be expanded further, and I am certainly not against classicism either!

  • Shlomit: Furthermore, Fraser raises an important claim that the suspension of gender, ethnic and class differences work in favor of the strong and does not promote the weak (Fraser, 1992) single mention of class, as part of background about a study on gender bias
  • HuffPost: would also like to see the Wikimedia Foundation conduct more research on how gender, race, and other factors 'dictate the sociopolitical reality of Wikipedia edits'
  • Wikipedia survey that is just data
  • Classism on Class Action: no mention of Wikipedia
  • Cassano: about race and Wikipedia
  • Classism on IResearchNet: no mention of Wikipedia
  • Hargittai: Of particular relevance to the case of the Wikipedia gender gap, research on differentiated Internet experiences and skills has shown that socioeconomic inequalities and demographic differences tend to translate into differentiated patterns of Internet use across cultural, civic, and relational spheres of activity. We have every reason to believe that this might also be the case with Wikipedia and the gender gap. (they then surveyed college students, and found white + male the only background characteristics that exhibit statistically significant relationships, also None of the other variables in the models--including mesaures of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, availability, Internet experience, and confidence in editing Wikipedia--are significant.)
  • Executive summary of Wikipedia survey, no mention of "class" or "econom"
  • Ferguson: no mention of Wikipedia
  • Quilter: another slideshow, same slide as before
  • Eltecolote: Some of the obstacles that prevent Latinos from being Wikipedians are the same hurdles that confront other people of color. Less education, less access to Internet, less computer skills and also having a lesser presence in the high-tech sector can all prevent Latinos from being Wikipedians.
  • Wired: race and gender
  • Manstead: no mention of Wikipedia
  • SPLC: is about fringe and racism
  • Nguyen: is about a study of Wikipedia users to examine adherence to social norms; nothing about class or systemic bias

  • Macaulay: no mention of Wikipedia
  • Herring: gender
  • NASPA: no mention of Wikipedia
  • GRE vocabulary: list of GRE words
  • LSE Research: gender

I'll pick up a few of those and put them in context, I might do more later:

  • Quilter: replicates systemic biases of Internet culture: Anglophone, class privilege, "Libertarian" politics, WM single mention of class on a powerpoint slide
(I see two mentions one refering to the userbase and another refering to it generally?)
  • HuffPost: would also like to see the Wikimedia Foundation conduct more research on how gender, race, and other factors 'dictate the sociopolitical reality of Wikipedia edits'
  • Wikipedia survey Demography data of Wikipedias skewed userbase.
  • Classism on Class Action: It just explains the concept of Classism, I'll go ahead and remove this one.
  • Cassano: about race and Wikipedia and digital divide.
  • Classism on IResearchNet: Mentions digital divide.
  • Executive summary of Wikipedia survey: Mentions what we already know about the group of people that mainly edit wikipedia, (this by negation is very well reason enough to have the article.)
  • Ferguson: This one seems to be about life expectancy, if you die for example 18 years before a more well of counterpart, that obviously limits your time to edit wikipedia.
  • Eltecolote: Some of the obstacles that prevent Latinos from being Wikipedians are the same hurdles that confront other people of color. Less education, less access to Internet, less computer skills and also having a lesser presence in the high-tech sector can all prevent Latinos from being Wikipedians.
  • Wired: race and gender
  • Manstead: I get that it doesn't say Wikipedia, but it literally applies everywhere.
  • Nguyen: If one reads what it's cited for it becomes another issue.

I think a mistake here is to assume that the arguments relating to platforms cultural logic and gender and race isn't relevant in an intersectional perspective, which isn't exactly fringe. As the article stands, that concept isn't exactly explained for the users however. And that's a tad ironic... I'm even more on my original perspective now that more sources have been added.

Having read this, I think it should stay, I can certainly understand why there has been some quibble regarding the sources, but I think my recent edit fixed that pretty well. As it looked in the beginning I could have understood if it was to go to the sandbox but now it's another story. But one could certainly zero in more regarding the quotes, as I'm looking at it now I see that it could be summarized more heavily.

  • Comment - I suspect this will end with delete and possibly redirect (although it's unclear which target, since criticism of Wikipedia doesn't mention class). The issue is lack of sources specifically about social class bias as on Wikipedia rather than a side discussion of class while focusing on gender, race, etc. The other issue is there seems to be some WP:OR and tangential material added. @EgoBenedict and InspecdahBall: the thing that will persuade people is a list of those sources specifically about this subject (which is not at all the same as the list of sources in the article currently).

Fram (talk) Why do you think that my post constitutes "refbombing" ? 6 sources isn't much for a section.

I've just tried to add content and clean up the page and make verification more transparent, and from what I can find SPA means single purpose account which my account isn't. The thing is that I only tend to edit content which I care about, which to be honest isn't much anymore these days. I stand by my previous statement, and would like to hear opinions on what has to be improved from the people who think this should be deleted. Because ources regarding the issue exist even if they aren't as extensive as they should be. The sources regarding gender and race are relevant due to intersectionality as well as similair issues affecting all three groups, which overlaps very frequently. Have a great day.

Rhododendrites

Why not start here?

Lund, Arwid (25 April 2017). Wikipedia, work and capitalism A realm of freedom?. Lund. p. 60-61,111-112 180,150-153,158-159, 234,282,299-300,323,etc. ISBN 978-3-319-50689-0.

Also I just want to note that the starting point of the conversation seems inherently biased in the first place, instead of talking about how Wikipedia obviously mirrors society, and therefore takes up a really good amount of what's in society.

We seem to talk about this is a manner of which it seems to be a implicit premise that wikipedia wouldn't take up these biases, which is very, very unlikely, and then we shift the burden of proof to the people who want to acknowledge the fact that there has been bias, and that there will probably be more bias because humans aren't machines. (see sources in the article)

But if one could show how Wikipedia doesn't mirror the rest of society and have at least a small class bias, then we could throw this page out instantly due to the premise being falsified. So as this stands now, the page could be seen as a good(but with room for improvement) cogent argument which does a decent job of falsifying the thesis that Wikipedia wouldn't take up class bias. (This is not even mentioning what's been written about the user-base, and empirical examples of "best for business ontology", etc.)


This could be laid up as a simple argument by elimination: 1:Wikipedia either is or isn't biased on the question on social class. 2:Wikipedia is not unbiased on the question on social class (for all reasons mentioned in the literature, and the sheer unlikeliness) Therefore: It's impossible to rule out that Wikipedia has a bias regarding social class.


You can even construct your own little cogent argument relating to the article. E.g as a conjunction: 1:Wikipedia uses secondary sources for a enormous part of its content. 2:Secondary sources contain class bias. (See for example Kendall, Diana. Framing Class: Media Representations of Wealth and Poverty in America.) Therefore:

Wikipedia voluntarily or not hosts class biased content.


Or you can present the same thing in another way by affirming the antecdent: 1:If Wikipedia hosts class biased content, they use at least some sources which contain class bias. 2:Wikipedia uses mostly secondary sources.

Therefore: At least some secondary sources must contain class bias (See for example Kendall, Diana. Framing Class: Media Representations of Wealth and Poverty in America.)

Or why not:


1:If Wikipedia exists Wikipedia is an entity in society. 2:You are reading wikipedia right now, and therefore have good reasons to believe that it is an entity in society. 3:Scholars have frequently demonstrated the existence of class society and human beings tendency to bias.

Therefore:If Wikipedia exists Wikipedia is subject to being a part of a class society.

  • Delete as spammoid; block creator for edit-warring. serial # 15:03, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - seems like spam at first glance, and this suspicion is strengthened the more one delves into the topic. The article subject has accrued some coverage, but said coverage is poor quality. Take this source cited by the article; at first glance it may imply the subject has accured coverage, but on close inspection the source is revealed to be a five-sentence incoherent puff piece - the same can be said for this source. None of the sources cited imply the article subject has a claim to encyclopedic significance, nor is there any indication the subject is more than a run-of-the-WP:MILL businessperson/marketer.

The guy had a large inheritance, so his uncle tried to disposses him of it after he married a woman sometimes described as a "courtesan". The very little coverage that exists focuses more on his wife, and what exists seems mainly to exist because he was rich enough to get a professionally made portrait of him and his wife. If anything the coverage around his trial falls under the rubric of Wikipedia not being a newspaper.

This article isn't likely to grow beyond a stub and should be merged to Music publisher (popular music) which should in turn be renamed Music publisher. The term "popular music" is ambiguous. Lil-℧niquԐ1 - (Talk) - 11:29, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strongly Oppose deletion and/or merge. There is no reason to suppose that "this article isn't likely to grow beyond a stub" - there are e.g. articles on music publishing in Oxford Music Online and other dictionaries and very many books on the general topic, articles in JSTOR etc. The article should grow beyond a stub, as there is a need on WP for a history of music publishing before the popular era. Merging it with Music publisher (popular music) won't do: the latter is (imo) a poor, unsourced article entirely dedicated to popular music. (The statement that 'the term popular music is ambiguous' is a bit of personal WP:IDONTLIKE by the proposer - there is a sourced artice on the topic in Wikipedia, Popular music - which the proposer can edit if they are usatidifed with it - in any case it has nothing to do with the the viability of this article).--Smerus (talk) 11:45, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually there isn't any WP:IDONTLIKE to this. Popular Music is interchangeably used to describe pop music as the genre of music but also as more modern music. This is ambiguous to readers. There is merit beyond the stub argument (which is a valid argument by the way) such as the synergy between the two different types of publishing and ultimately it is a similar thing. Lil-℧niquԐ1 - (Talk) - 19:23, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The way this article is written looks like a prose version of a category. I think this article should be merged with Music publisher (popular music) and the whole renamed as Music publishing and then take it from there. The definition of Sheet music on Wikipedia is wrong: it really means "published music" - and I have promised on that article's talk page that I would move it if no one had any objections. But before I do that I have to create an article that is really about sheet music which I have not yet done. - kosboot (talk)

Arbitrary break[edit]

I mostly agree with User:Francis Schonken, although I would have moved the article to Music publishing to focus on the industry and process rather than the agents involved, and also to form a logical succession to the article History of music publishing.

notable sources found are Hip Hop Weekly, AllMusic, The Deli Magazine, Broadcast Music, Inc.. Although Hip Hop Weekly is the only with an article written, it provides notable coverage. Sweetteaplz (talk) 15:30, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Upon another look through the musician's sources, The Hype Magazine is also a notable source used to verify facts on Wikipedia as well. Sweetteaplz (talk) 16:06, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

this isn't even a source, it's jsut a listing. Absolutely useless for notability. And I have doubts to whether Deli Mag is useful for notability since it appears to be a small time blog. Hype is pay for publishing and should be blacklisted, this is PR nonsense, and so is the rest. There is no actual coverage of this person. Praxidicae (talk) 16:08, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies. However, Hip Hop Weekly has it's own Wikipedia article, I'm not sure I understand how it can be nonsense unless it's an opinion? Also forgive my ignorance, do sources that have verified social media accounts like Twitter and Facebook not count as reliable? Sweetteaplz (talk) 16:21, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Walter, aboutinsider, dailymuscroll and muziquemag are all black hat SEO sites, they are pay for publication and in particular aboutinsider is completely fake.

So the sources used in the actual article for the musician are sufficient? Not including any sources that aren’t there I.e. the sites listed when you search the musician. Besides Hip Hop Weekly and the Hype Magazine, the sources named in the discussion aren’t listed. Sweetteaplz (talk) 19:07, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, as I pointed out all the sources Walter Gorlitz mentioned are unacceptable and are now blacklisted aside from HHW, which still isn't significant coverage. None of the sources in the article are acceptable either. Praxidicae (talk) 19:13, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any listed at RSN so they may be part of a larger group, they are not unacceptable. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:54, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
They don't need to be listed at RSN as they're blatantly fake sources. Which is why they are now blacklisted. Are you seriously suggesting after what I've shown you, Walter Görlitz that aboutinsider, muziquemagazine or dailymusicroll - which created false profiles of fake people as journalists, are reliable sources? Literally the *only* way to have items published on that site, which is done under a false name and false credentials is to pay them and even if it weren't, you cannot seriously be suggesting that publishing content under false identities is acceptable.

Sweetteaplz (talk) 01:04, 20 May 2020 (UTC) SOCKSTRIKE - Primefac (talk) 15:23, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • The problem with the Paste entry is that it's not, it's a Noisetrade entry: no more a RS than an iTunes Store, Amazon, Spotify, etc. entry. It's not a review on Paste, nor is it an article about the subject. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:40, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ok. Another point for The Hype Magazine, it may be pay for promo, but there isn't any proof the artist's team actually did. Also, The Hype Magazine is used as a source for many articles on this site, here's an example if you look at reference #14 for :Lil Mosey In no way not comparing the amount of coverage of the two, just the one source used for both. Plus Hip Hop Weekly can provide coverage. Sweetteaplz (talk) 12:18, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with Hype, like the others is that they don't identify their editorial staff and what is paid from their actual content. More importantly it's a blog that calls itself a magazine - just do a search of "hype magazine" and Fiverr. I mean seriously, just look at their header, it's nonsense "the world's #1 digital magazine in stores now!"...not to mention the only way to get your music or review on there is to go here and pay either $300 or $100 or via SEO hires or this: We do request a small fee to pay our writers to review your product. Simply all but one source here and in the article (aside from the itunes and listing) are paid for spam. Praxidicae (talk) 12:32, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Based on my previous statement, the fact is The Hype Magazine is still being used on Wikipedia as a source for other articles. Sweetteaplz (talk) 12:53, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that it isn't blacklisted yet isn't relevant. The fact that a crappy source is used in another article isn't relevant, it just means it needs cleanup. Praxidicae (talk) 13:11, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The relevancy is if it can be used for another musician's article, it should able to be used for her's, that's all. Sweetteaplz (talk) 13:38, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's a nonsensical argument. If a non-qualifying source is being used to bolster the notability of the subject in another article, then there had better be multiple other qualifying sources in that article. My emphasis is intentional: there is a large difference between an article simply including a citation, and a citation as one of the foundations of the article's notability. If the latter, the proper answer is not "Oh, well, the source is valid then." It's that the notability of the other subject is questionable as well.

Beyond that, when you claim above that a source uses pay-for-promo doesn't mean that the subject's team has done so: that's entirely irrelevant. The point under discussion isn't whether the artist or her personal entourage is involved in advertising hype. It's whether a source that exists on such payments is reliable. By Wikipedia rules, it most certainly is not. Your time would be better expended here by finding solid, reliable qualifying sources which bolster your article's notability, especially since curiously enough, fighting this AfD seems to be your sole activity on Wikipedia. Would you care to disclose any WP:COI issues? Ravenswing 07:02, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Like I already said in my previous argument, there is a WP:reliable source with Hip Hop Weekly used as well. Maybe you could help me understand, without using the pay-for-promo point since it's irrelevant, how exactly is The Hype Magazine not WP:reliable? Isn't it independent of the subject too? If not, then why is it still being used as a source for other articles? And I didn't claim anyone used pay for promo. As for WP:COI I literally just made this account two days ago, there wouldn't be a lot under my activity. If you could point out difference between an article simply including a citation, and a citation as one of the foundations of the article's notability and which rule that applies to on here? I understand what your saying but is that an official guideline? Sweetteaplz (talk) 14:39, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Praxidae already answered your question about the Hype Magazine above. As far as what goes into a reliable source generally, if you're citing WP:RS -- which you just did -- then you ought to be familiar with its content (and as it says in a large honking block at the top of the page, it is indeed an official guideline). A source, to be considered "reliable," must be independent AND published AND have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Now: why is the Hype Magazine being used as a source in other articles? For the same reason as here -- to try to find some source, any source, to make a new article look good, and hope people don't examine them too closely.

As far as the difference between how citations are used, that's simple. A primary, non-independent source can be used for information about the subject. For instance, a university's website is a valid source for biographical details about a coach it employs -- birthdate, birthplace, prior positions and the like; it's unlikely to be inaccurate about such things. But that website can't be used to support the subject's notability, which is an entirely different thing. Ravenswing 09:01, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying. However, Wikipedia claims reliability of sources fall on a spectrum and editors use their judgement to determine. WP:REPUTABLE In which way can you determine the validation for reputation for fact-checking and accuracy for The Hype Magazine? Many articles actually use The Hype Magazine as a reliable source I've also found and it's clearly :known. Plus Hip Hop Weekly qualifies as reliable, doesn't that satisfy WP:GNG? Along with other sources and a general search of the subject? Sweetteaplz (talk) 11:58, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
One classic way of gauging the reliability of a source is simple: how many reliable sources mention or cite it? Find us (say) an article in Rolling Stone stating that The Hype Magazine is reliable. And that being said, I'll repeat what I said above: that other articles use a suspect source does not make the source reliable; it makes those articles suspect.

Fails to meet WP:GNG. Other than the etymology section, the entire article is based on the movement's own website. The article on Lithuanian Wikipedia has one reliable source, Religijų įvairovė Lietuvoje: portretai, kasdienybė ir šventės, with one paragraph about "Kuronas", which I assume is related to the Kurono Academy mentioned here. It could be a good source for the main Baltic neopaganism article, but isn't enough to support a separate article. I've searched for other sources but couldn't find any.

The result was no consensus to delete. This could be relisted, but it is doubtful a consensus would be reached thereby when it has not in the already-extended time for this discussion. Rationales for keeping the article are not the strongest, but not entirely invalid. Pursuant to Piotrus' comment about the possibility of having an article about "fungus-based protein industry", a better course to pursue might be developing such an article and seeking to merge this there.

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar outside what the creator added. I want to note that the creator is not some COI SPI but an established and experienced editor I respect, see also his explanation of his connection to the topic at Talk: Nature's_Fynd. Nonetheless, most of the sources cited here don't discuss the company in-depth or at all (!). Three sources that name it in the headline are all ONEVENT about the usual start-up spamnews "company secures funding!"; [19] is a blog by a Forbes Contributor (not an article by a Forbes journalist, don't confuse F-contributors with F-journalists), and is half-WP:INTERVIEW, sharing scope and other similarities with niche outlets [20]/[21] (btw, that last outlet is so copyright paranoid it disables copying of even a single word from its article...wow).

      • The grant web pages are unacceptable PRIMARYs for subjects such as the Federal Agency, Federal SBIRs, or an individual grant award. However, Federal Agency grant awards are WP:RS regarding the work of the winning companies in the sense that they are acceptable PRIMARYs for the subject matter of the merit of the companies (to simply cite the fact that they won certain magnitude awards for certain periods), IMO.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 11:28, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment What about the United Press International publicity weeks after the March 24 Series B publicity. P.S. I concede the Wired article dated April 1, seems to have been published before the March 24 rebranding and without regard to the Series B funding publicity, but that article gave great flavor on the variety of approaches being used by the three leading fungus-based protein companies.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:26, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This article seems to pass WP:GNG or at least is a good example of a WP:BASIC (if BASIC can be applied to non bio articles). There is a lot of encyclopedic content from places that are WP:RS (Wired, UPI, Several federal agencies) on top of the Series B publicity which is actually surprisingly detailed with editorial contributions rather than rehashings of a press release.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:26, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you for providing the examples of best sources, but I am sorry, I still don't think this company merits a stand-alone article. What I think would be correct would be writing an article about "fungus-based protein industry" or such, where this company could be mentioned. That would be a neutral and informative way to dealing with this topic (and many like it). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:27, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Funny things that happened on the Vietnam version of Who wants to be a millionaire tv programme. Its a very popular show and the youtube video has 13 million views. No effective referencing. Draftify as its first article, to see if it goes anywhere. scope_creepTalk 08:59, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:48, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:48, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi - I would like to argue to keep. Based on this criterion for musical groups from this page: Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.[note 1]
The following cited articles I believe meet this:
1. Billboard (https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8509848/gypsy-temple-today-video)
2. Bellevue Reporter (https://www.bellevuereporter.com/news/local-band-rocks-students-to-vote/)

  • Move to draft. There are some half-decent references here, but I'm still doubtful whether the band meets the notability criteria. Moving to draft, improving and then submitting for review might result in constructive criticism from a wider set of more experienced contributors. Deb (talk) 08:38, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a violation of the Terms of use. If not delete, the draftify, per Deb. Guy (help!) 11:21, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Guy! How does it violate the Terms of Use? Thanks! I'm certainly not opposed to moving it to drafts per Deb.KaylynBuckley (talk) 14:17, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Yeah, I don't get the violation of Terms of Use either. But the Billboard reference is the only decent source here so It probably would benefit from taking to draft and either finding better sources (rather than sources for the sake of sources) or wait until the band gets more coverage/more accomplishments, per WP:TOOSOON. ShelbyMarion (talk) 14:25, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I presume JzG is referring to paid editing. But I don't think we delete articles for a mere suspicion of it.-- P-K3 (talk) 15:20, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to draft with a requirement for regular WP:AFC review before restoration to mainspace. BD2412 T 14:31, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to draft per BD2412. The Billboard reference is good. The K5 news is of debatable merit for establishing notability, it is a major news player in the Pacific Northwest, but it could also be argued it is only local. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 15:30, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment from nominator - I am fine with draftifying instead of deleting. I also agree with Shelby Marion that the Billboard ref is the only real solid one, and even that comes in the context of the band's releasing a song through that magazine, so it has a promotional aspect to it as well. All the announcements of the band playing events are essentially trivial, and other sources look to be WP:SPS with no reputation for fact-checking and error correction. This band may well break out some day, at which time the article can be reinforced with true RS's and moved to mainspace through AfC. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:21, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bulleted list item Thanks everyone and thank you Beyond My Ken for the dialogue about this! I would appreciate help in editing whether it's in the current article or in draft form.
I'm still looking at a few other sources as I think there might be some additional articles out there that I've missed. What are thoughts on their coverage in Alternative Press mag? https://www.altpress.com/features/gypsy-temple-king-youngblood-stream/KaylynBuckley (talk) 00:49, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no policy against improving an article while it is under discussion at AfD. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:54, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • This article is fully factually correct please do not delete. National press has written about this band and the writers of this article researched each item carefully. Thank you Lara Lavi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.1.149 (talk) 00:05, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to the band's website [26], Lara Lavi is the band's manager, so has a serious WP:COI in regard to this article. The !vote should not be counted. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:31, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. There are two calls for a redirect, but the reasoning is little beyond an assertion of non-notability. (A redirect is of course possible as an editorial decision, regardless of this AFD.) I am not altogether convinced by the sources provided either, since they are not really in-depth coverage. Nonetheless, I am not willing to close this AFD with a decisive result at this point since the AFD discussion is sullied by the nominator being a now blocked sockpuppet.

  • Also if Preliminary competitions to the main national competition are "not themselves notable" then we would asking for redirects not only for this pageant but also for preliminary pageants for Miss USA, Miss America, Miss Universe, Miss World and all other preliminary competitions that are to determine contestants for the main competition (whether being national or international respectively). Miss Indiana USA or Miss Indiana for example should be redirected to Miss USA and Miss America because they’re preliminary, "Lower-level" stages of the competition and should not exist according your logic.

  • Comment: The page views of an article are not an indication of a topic's notability and should never be used as an argument in a deletion discussion. Low page views are not a reason for an article to be deleted and high page views are not a reason for an article to be kept. Topics should be judged on their notability and coverage found in reliable sources. See WP:PAGEVIEW and WP:NOBODYREADSIT. MarkZusab (talk) 19:16, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Staying with the notability aspect of the original nomination, the nearest to a claim in the article text is the assertion (from the firm's website) that this was "one of the first travel agents to specialise in river cruises". That claim has a lot of elasticity, which is probably needed given that people have been going on river cruises long before the 9 years lifespan of this firm. Even if supported by references, I don't see that as a strong claim anyway. My searches are not finding better than routine coverage of this and World Travel Holdings' other brands. Fails WP:NCORP. AllyD (talk) 14:28, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic therefore fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 14:49, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A not-that-notable track from Bowie's 1977 album "Heroes". While it does have a few reliable sources, the information present can easily be added into the album article, which I plan to expand upon one of these days. Other than that it doesn't appear to be notable in its own right. – zmbro (talk) 19:04, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Is it your opinion that the only notable track is the title track? I see that every track has an article... Caro7200 (talk) 19:13, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Caro7200 Not necessarily. If any other track besides the title track deserved a standalone article it would be "Beauty and the Beast", as it was the second single off the album. However, where a few other song articles currently stand it appears ones like this one don't have notability enough for an article. Although I am a person who enjoys seeing articles for every song, I understand that that's not how this site works. Almost every song from Bowie's 1970s output has its own article, but of course, that doesn't mean every single one deserves their own article. – zmbro (talk) 19:20, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If anything, it’s likely a explanation as to why someone erroneously created it. Sergecross73 msg me 21:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to "Heroes" (David Bowie album): Not all songs in the album are notable. ASTIG😎 (ICE TICE CUBE) 06:42, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why not? And even if not all songs in the album are notable, why is this particular song not notable? Rlendog (talk) 01:11, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Rlendog, per reasons stated by the users above who have the same vote as mine. I won't explain any further and this also applies to similar recent AfDs I voted on. ASTIG😎 (ICE TICE CUBE) 05:14, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - None of the arguments above get to the issue of whether this song meets our notability guidelines or not. From my own bookshelves, Peter Doggett's The Man Who Sold the World, Nicholas Pegg's The Complete David Bowie and David Buckley's The Complete Guide to the Music of David Bowie all have an entry specifically on this song. James Perone's The Words and Music of David Bowie has a good size paragraph analyzing the song. A Google Books search shows other sources, such as Experiencing David Bowie: A Listener's Companion. I am sure there are plenty more given that this is a song from more than 40 years ago (and 2 additional references are already in the article) but this is enough to demonstrate notability.

  • People have cited NSONGS, which is a valid reason for redirecting. Regardless of sourcing, (which is very weak) there’s very little content present. It’s a list if a couple live performances and a couple generic factoids and trivia. (With gems like “Bowie says the song ‘Blackout’ is about Blackouts”. Gee, thanks.) When there’s very little to be said if a song, NSONGS says to just cover it in the context of its album article. Unless someone starts doing some serious expansion, redirect is a pretty common route here. Sergecross73 msg me 23:04, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The current state of the article is not great, but there is material with which to expand the article. Per NSONGS, "Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject[1] of multiple,[2] non-trivial[3] published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." And this song has been. Rlendog (talk) 12:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you're willing to expand the article with the sources you have, I'll be happy to change my vote. ASTIG😎 (ICE TICE CUBE) 16:42, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really agree with the reasoning that these Bowie songs are "the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works". The whole point of the first three books cited above is that they have a section for every single Bowie song. So the song is not the subject of the work, and following that logic, every single Bowie song would be notable enough for its own article, even the obscure ones from his pre-fame days in the 1960s, because every one of them has their own section within the book... of course they do, that's the point of the books. Perone's book only analyses the song within the context of the album, I believe. There is no indication at all from any of the books that this song is notable outside of its parent album – there is a WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES argument above that there will be more coverage from 1977–78, but there's no reason to believe this is true... the books above are pretty exhaustively researched using media from the time and they still haven't come up with much in the way of concrete facts for the nominated songs, just a brief quote or two from Bowie himself and speculation from critics. Unless there is any chance at all that this article could be expanded to more than a stub of a couple of paragraphs, I honestly believe it's more of a hindrance than a help to spin out every song on the album into a separate article – apart from now having to maintain a dozen articles instead of one, most of the songs on the second sides of both the Low and "Heroes" albums are instrumental "mood pieces", and I believe it makes much more sense to discuss the background and context of these instrumentals all together within the context of the album article, rather than separately. Undoubtedly some Bowie album tracks are worthy of their own articles – the nominator has been responsible for improving "Station to Station (song)" and "Ziggy Stardust (song)" to GA status, for example (so I doubt they would have nominated these particular songs if they thought there was a chance of substantially improving them), and there are probably others like "The Bewlay Brothers" which could conceivably make a substantial article in the future. But not every album track will meet this possibility. Richard3120 (talk) 18:29, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree with Richard. I own Pegg, Doggett, O'Leary, Cann and Buckley's Strange Fascination and while each one of these books goes into detail regarding every track, the amount of detail in each varies substantially. While Pegg has devoted pages worth of writing to songs like "Life on Mars?", he writes about the Diamond Dogs deep cut "Big Brother" for only 3 paragraphs and that currently has its own page. Pegg even calls the track "We are the Dead" "one of the most criminally underrated songs in the entire Bowie canon" and that doesn't have its own page. My point is, even though these songs have entries on them in all these books, I find web reviews hardly mention these tracks, even in full album reviews. The reason I wanted to expand tracks like "Station to Station" is because that song is viewed as the bridge between Young Americans and Low and it's also considered one of his greatest. But all of the songs are side two of Low and the majority of "Heroes" are ambient instrumentals which to me can all be summed up in their respective album articles. I'm currently working on expanding Aladdin Sane and will eventually do the same for Low and "Heroes"; I aim to have a paragraph for each track in the vein of my vast expansion of Hunky Dory. But currently, the info present in these smaller song articles can easily be placed into their parent album articles. – zmbro (talk) 18:55, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If there are multiple books that cover every David Bowie song then perhaps every David Bowie song is notable. There are very few artists about which this could be said. That still means that multiple reliable sources found these songs notable enough to cover, and there is no reason that coverage should not be reflected in Wikipedia. Rlendog (talk) 12:43, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's not what is being said at all. All this info can easily be reflected in the "Heroes" album article, which is currently less than 30k bytes. I recently expanded Hunky Dory with paras for each track. "Eight Line Poem" is a track that doesn't have its own WP page, and deservedly so, as pretty much all the info about the song I could find in Pegg, Doggett, O'Leary, etc. (without repeating info), all fit into one paragraph. A song like that doesn't need its own article. Through the research I've done, most of the tracks off "Heroes" have the same fate – all of their info can be fit into one paragraph. Now, if you think differently, then go ahead and begin expanding all of these articles. I'm working on more important Bowie articles rn so I can't. But since you, in particular, think these songs are so important and qualify WP:NSONGS then be my guest. – zmbro (talk) 15:39, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think there is enough here for an article. If you can use one of the books to improve even better. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 20:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You don't think the nominator, with access to all those books, wouldn't have tried to do that first before nominating it? Richard3120 (talk) 20:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: IMO, it's not necessary for every song in the album to have its own article. Since each of them has their sources, they can be discussed in the mentioned album. Revolver is an example. ASTIG😎 (ICE TICE CUBE) 04:15, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect, the content does not pass WP:NSONGS criteria for an independent article. The information here could be easily contained on the parent album's page. Per WP:OTHERSTUFF, the fact that other pages for songs from the album exist is the EXACT REASON WHY THIS ONE SHOULD NOT. Topics do not inherit notability from other related topics. Additionally, articles about songs from this album should not overly/heavily rely purely on published sources. To be honest Joe_the_Lion, Sons of the Silent Age, V-2 Schneider, Sense of Doubt, Moss Garden, Neuköln and The Secret Life of Arabia should all be merged. Lil-℧niquԐ1 - (Talk) - 18:31, 17 May 2020 (UTC)**I don't understand the comment that "articles about songs from this album should not overly/heavily rely purely on published sources." If we do not rely on published sources what do we rely on? Rlendog (talk) 12:48, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a notable song. There are other sources that could be used, and I've added a few. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London exhibited the cut-up lyrics of "Blackout" in 2013 as part of its "David Bowie is" exhibition. SarahSV (talk) 20:35, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
