Fails GNG. Neither winning a Darwin award nor a Guinness world record make someone notable; very little coverage outside of people poking fun at the way he died. JeffUK (talk) 20:00, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. His period of fame was 25 years ago, before news was online. There was plenty of coverage of him then, which focused on his unusual feats rather than merely making a world record (though the stunt did bring considerable attention). He was on TV a lot, including this short TV documentary.[1] There's WP:SUSTAINED coverage even long after his death with at least another TV documentary referring to his case in 2014.[2] In-depth English coverage includes this Sunday Telegraph/South China Morning Post article that followed his death.[3] Was the subject of National Geographic TV's Hunter Hunted episode "Victims of Venom". Plenty enough to satisfy the GNG. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:00, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A man notable for his ability to handle snakes, who received a Darwin Award for being bitten to death by a snake. Glorious. I'd say that deals with his notability, then. Being a 'Victim of Venom' doesn't get you past WP:GNG, I'm afraid, even if it does get you to DOA... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:43, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not a single reference/source meets NCORP criteria for establishing notability. We have mere mentions-in-passing at best and PR/announcements as sources. We require a source that discusses the topic company in detail and containing "Independent Content" which I am unable to locate. HighKing++ 13:59, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And yet it is obviously a significant auction house, as attested by multiple independent reliable sources. As well as those cited in the article, there is also Investing in Collectables: An Investor's Guide to Turning Your Passion Into a Portfolio (published by John Wiley & Sons) and The Daily Telegraph Guide to Investing, as well as the Jeffrey Archer novel Nothing Ventured. Perhaps this is a situation where WP:IAR is in order. StAnselm (talk) 22:47, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So you're saying that a mention in a Jeffrey Archer novel - a novel which isn't even notable enough for its own article page - is as a sign of notability? And if not, lets IAR? Sure, that sounds convincing. HighKing++ 10:23, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Archer novel is obviously notable, it's just that nobody's created the article yet. Anyway, just to be clear, I believe this article passes GNG with the Tatler and trade magazine references. StAnselm (talk) 16:07, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure if you're joking but just to be sure - a mention in a novel doesn't convey notability. We have guidelines. Sources need to pass NCORP which requires Independent Content and significant in-depth content, not a mention. HighKing++ 13:44, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, you misunderstood me - I wasn't saying the Archer reference contributed to GNG. But it is now in the article and it contributes to the article being "more than a very brief, incomplete stub" as mentioned in WP:CORPDEPTH. StAnselm (talk) 15:08, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused by the bit about adding it into the article so that the article is more than a brief incomplete stub. The reason for deletion is a lack of sourcing which is why we're discussing here. If we find sources, we'll have enough to write the article. Combining a snippet here and a snippet there from different sources which fails NCORP isn't going to translate to a notable topic - we don't combine sources when we're looking at notability, *each* source much meet the criteria. See WP:SIRS and WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 15:47, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. We can now add "The Independent" to the list of sources that call the auction house "prominent" (under its former name). I'll continue to look for an article with SIGCOV, as that is lacking at present. But the number of mention-in-passings (in BBC News, Telegraph, Independent) are cumulative over 30+ years. The company name is recognizable by the public and a household word amongst collectors in the UK. On eBay, for example, you can buy the "DNW Dix Noonan Webb Auction Catalogue-Ancient & World Coins Numismatic-Dec 2013" which the cover says is their 300th edition. It would presume a company that's published 300 editions of a catalogue would be notable. BBQboffin (talk) 00:48, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just about everything you've said above has zero bearing on establishing notability. Take a look at WP:NCORP especially WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. Can you link to a source you believe passes NCORP? HighKing++ 13:44, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      I think the Roland Arkell article does, barely. It compares the company's strategy of setting a higher buyer's premium compared to smaller rivals (Spink & Son, Bonhams, etc.) in the numismatic market. Admittedly, Antiques Trade Gazette isn't the New York Times, and a lot of the article content looks like it's from the company, but there is an author for the article in an independent publication. A couple more like this and I think it's over the bar. On the company website for press coverage there's over 120 news articles that mention the company just in 2019. Most are about a particular auction and say very little about the company except for a quote from one of the founders. But some of them are going to have a few lines or maybe a few paragraphs about "the largest coin auctioneer in London". BBQboffin (talk) 23:42, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think an article about how they're raising their premiums can be described as promotional. StAnselm (talk) 01:03, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Who said anything about it being promotional? There are two primary NCORP tests that each source must meet (see WP:SIRS). WP:ORGIND requires "Independent content" such that in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. So, an article which regurgitates the company's announcement without adding any Independent analysis/opinion/etc is essentially PRIMARY content and fails ORGIND. Each reference must also meet WP:CORPDEPTH (and excludes stuff that fails ORGIND). Pointing out that the company has been mentioned or has lots of coverage is an argument to avoid at AfD. Similarly, pointing out that an article referred to the company as "<insert adjective here>" is meaningless with regards to our guidelines. We require articles/sources (preferably with links) which meet NCORP, at least two and preferably more, and *each* one meets NCORP criteria. So far, none meet our criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 15:06, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

      Per Wikipedia policy, the existence of independent reliable in-depth secondary sources is required to establish notability. However, policy does not require that they are in the article. Please review WP:NEXIST, or work to gain consensus to change it, but don't argue against the policy in a deletion discussion. Jacona (talk) 15:17, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well no one has presented any such sources here or in the article. My above arguement says that such sources need to exist and be identified.

  • I searched on Newspapers.com I came up with nothing that could be SIGCOV (the most in-depth article I could find was this, which only says he told the history of a Polish stamp). The American Philatelic Society has two paragraphs on him ([4]). I also see a few mentions in books about philately, the most in-depth being here (I can't view much of it so I can't determine if its SIGCOV). I don't see enough for GNG.

  • Delete. I checked Newspapers.com as well and reached the same conclusion as BeanieFan11: there's a bit of coverage, but none of it is quite substantial enough to satisfy the GNG. I wouldn't say that the awards he received are so "well-known and significant" as to trigger WP:ANYBIO crit. 1, either. No single article would make an appropriate redirect target, in my view, so I'm leaning delete; glad to reconsider if there are sources I'm missing. (Quite a few of the articles linked from American Philatelic Society Hall of Fame#Recipients, many of which were mass-created by the same author, seem to be of dubious notability—it might be worth taking a more in-depth look at whether they meet the GNG.)

Sampra yoga[edit]

Sampra yoga (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

PRODded as unsourced and WP:CFORK of Ashtanga (eight limbs of yoga), which covers the same ground. The author has removed the PROD and added 4 refs, all to Patanjali's Yoga Sutras which defines the Ashtanga, so here we are. The existing Ashtanga article both covers the eightfold path and cites numerous scholarly sources on the topic, which has been extensively researched; a search for "Ashtanga yoga" with "Patanjali" gets some 200,000 hits. The new article introduces a little-used name "Sampra yoga" which gets 21 hits in total, several of them a yoga school in the Netherlands. Apart from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the article remains wholly unsourced, not surprising as there are no published sources about "Sampra Yoga". The first two refs to the Yoga Sutras are both to chapter 2, sutra 44, "svadhyayad ishta-devata-samprayogah", meaning "Self-study deepens communion with one's personal deity." Needless to say, this brief verse does not support the claims in the lead which it is positioned to support. The topic is not notable; it appears to be substantially a poor content fork of the existing article, and if anything there is describing something new (not relating to Patanjali's Yoga Sutras) then it is wholly uncited and original research.

  • Delete. The subject matter is covered well enough by other pages that are well sourced and of indisputable notability. If there is anything of unique value in this article, it would be more appropriate to merge it with Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Chagropango (talk) 07:12, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't Delete, Leave the article in place - Of course, leave the article, what kind of dispute can there be on this topic? I will give arguments:

1) There are sources, in this case the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, in which samprayoga is clearly indicated. What does the Netherlands have to do with it? :) 2) There is a misconception that only one opinion can be correct. Regarding yoga, it is a completely diverse system, there is yoga among Jains, Sikhs, there is yoga among Buddhists. In this case, it is indicated in the article Indian yoga, from the writings of Patanjali 3) In the end, what we have. We have a source - Sutras - in which sampra yoga is clearly indicated. And there are opinions of modern people who confidently declare that their understanding of the Patanjali Sutra is certainly correct. 4) Colleagues - let's expand our knowledge. Let's take everyone home and read the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and be surprised to discover that he is writing about sampra yoga. By the way, the word ashtanga - Patanjali in his sutras never called the word yoga.Magyar from Bashkiria (talk) 09:35, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"It is possible for a journal to qualify for a stand-alone article according to this standard and yet not actually be an appropriate topic for coverage in Wikipedia because of a lack of reliable, independent sources on the subject. Independent, third-party sources must exist for every topic that receives its own article on Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Verifiability: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.")."

  • Delete. (I was the prodder of the article.) As I said in the prod, there are no independent sources at all, merely three footnotes that all refer to the journal itself. I was unable to find any reliable secondary sources via Google either, and it looks like nobody else has found any since 2007, when StAnselm created the article. So, unless there are special notability rules for religious journals, the subject is not notable. (After edit conflict:) StAnselm, what is "SK #1", please? I'm not familiar with this code.

WP:SKCRIT #1: absence of deletion rationale. I was referring to the procedural aspect of the nomination. Anyway, here we are. No, religious journals don't have special notability rules, but the main criterion applied to academic journals is whether they are indexed in a selective database, which this one is: the Atla Religion Database.

Note that sources don't have to be in the article to be kept. In any case, it's hard to find sources, isn't it? Because there are so many GBooks hits, because the journal is cited so much. StAnselm (talk) 17:22, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Simply being cited does not contribute to WP:NOTABILITY, we need in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:31, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (1) It is not true there are no independent sources. We have a citation of an encyclopedia for the sponsoring society. (2) a lack of citations is NOT a ground for deletion, except where BLP applies. (3) Peer-reviewed academic journals are likely to be notable in any event. (4) An academic journal is likely to be cited in other journals. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:15, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP The main reason for the deletion request was a lack of independent referencing, that has now been addressed. That was a weak deletion reason to begin with, especially on a magazine with a 60 year publication history. Now there is no doubt that it passes NJOURNALS . Per NOTABILITY. ALSO: NOTE TO CLOSER: There was no actual reason given for this to be listed here either, as there is absolutely no requirement to send an article to AfD after being deprodded.

I'm not sure about "passing" WP:NJOURNALS. That's an essay. The article does not seem to pass WP:GNG. Bishonen | tålk 18:35, 27 July 2022 (UTC).[reply]
The lack of independent referencing, has not been addressed. None of the sources currently on the page contribute to WP:GNG. WP:NJOURNALS is a wp:essay. NJOURNAL alsosays "If an academic journal cannot be demonstrated to be impactful via reliable sources, we should probably not have a dedicated article on it." Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:11, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The idea that journals need to pass the GNG--that is, someone writes about them, rather than for them or in them or cites them--is a fundamental misunderstanding of how journals work. Good journals can go along without anyone ever writing about them in independent, reliable secondary sources for decades. MIAR shows JETS is an independently indexed work with an upward trend on their now-retired ICDS (Composite Index of Secondary Diffusion) scale. The abbreviation, JETS, is listed in the SBL Handbook of style 2nd edition on p. 238. Again, it's a trivial reference, but it clearly indicates that the journal is sufficiently repeatedly cited in other academic religious studies writings to merit inclusion. What else can one ask for? Jclemens (talk) 21:32, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think that is a very insightful observation. And it is entirely consistent with the quote from WP:NJOURNALS above cited, I think erroneously, in favor of deletion. This journal's articles have been extensively cited in multiple other academic and scholarly journals and books in its field, proving that it is significantly "impactful via reliable sources" in its field of scholarship. It is not realistic to expect that a highly specialized journal is going to have coverage in the popular press, but having significant impact in its specialized area meets all of the pertinent criteria for notability. Banks Irk (talk) 22:23, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The solution would then appear to be getting NJOURNALS endorsed by the community as an actual guideline, until then yes journals do actually need to pass GNG. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:34, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, in addition to that, I think the discussion here, including a RS that it is a major journal on conservative American theology, is persuasive on GNG. [7]. Let me be clear, I'm not approaching this from some doctrinal standpoint - I've got no sympathy whatsoever for the theological precepts of the Society and its Journal - I find the whole idea of biblical inerrancy fundamentally ridiculous. But the objection that a RS characterizes it as a major journal of conservative American theology is too narrow or qualified to constitute notability would be like saying that a physics journal that published only articles on string theory, and never publishes any on loop quantum gravity, is too specialized to be notable in the wider physics field.Banks Irk (talk) 23:41, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The objection to the characterization is only within a theoretical exploration of NJOURNALS, until its endorsed by the community such discussions can only be theoretical. That characterization would possibly fulfill one of the criteria laid out in NJOURNALS (which is again an essay unendorsed by the community which would need to be endorsed to enter into force), but it does nothing to move the needle in terms of GNG. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:47, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"until then yes journals do actually need to pass GNG", well no, because we have other rules for when a rule requires us to do dumb things like delete articles about important journals. Yes, there's no consensus guideline yet about the notability of journals, but also there's no consensus guideline yet about the notability of journals.Jahaza (talk) 02:19, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We don't even have to cite IAR. Exceptions to guidelines, like Notability, are expected; that's why the GNG is not policy and never has been: because local consensus can say "Yeah, deleting JETS would be a dumb outcome. Let's not do that and keep the encyclopedia better than if we blindly followed the letter of the guideline and made it worse." Oh, and essays are cited as normative in deletion discussions all the time, without needing to be elevated to guideline status before being considered useful and valid arguments. Jclemens (talk) 05:48, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can support merge/redirect as well. There is already a subsection in the Society's article on the Journal that could be expanded with the text and sources added since this AFD commenced. But I can't support deletion.Banks Irk (talk) 23:20, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A merger would indeed be a reasonable ATD, if deletion were in fact indicated. I contend that it is not, and thus this should be closed as keep, with merging an editorial-level discussion among interested editors, rather than an enforced AfD outcome. Jclemens (talk) 00:14, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge A likely search term, and the information we have is fine to keep as information, but this is fine as content within the context of the society itself. It doesn't need its own article yet, as there's not much more that even could be written to expand this. The main article about the society is not so large that this text would overwhelm it, and thus its fine to cover all of this content in the article on the society itself. --Jayron32 14:45, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Evangelical Theological Society, as it's a plausible search term and there is more than nothing to say about it, but not enough to warrant a dedicated page. XOR'easter (talk) 17:07, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Plenty of sources already in the article, including this one. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 12:42, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That talks a little about the journal, but it seems mostly to be about the Society, with the former treated as just one activity of the latter. It's a matter of taste, I suppose, but I don't really see how that reference makes the case that we need two separate pages. XOR'easter (talk) 18:43, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - a major theological journal, published since 1958 without interruption. It includes a couple of book references, ISBN and all that jazz. Used to be that books were golden sources on Wikipedia —and these book references negate the nom "No independent sources at all", so for that reason alone the AfD ought to be closed. The Journal is cited widely on Wikipedia, and for good reason: it is a peer-reviewed journal which has published innumerable articles on theology for 64 years, so it stands to reason that numerous articles cite its published articles. In fact, 188 Wikipedia pages point to the article here for AfD. Interestingly, one of the articles, Biblical inerrancy cites how the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society published the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy; the very article being proposed to be deleted forms part of the content scaffolding around here. Can someone identify some abstruse technicality for which the article should be deleted? Maybe (but probably not). But the wikipedia would be poorer for the effort.XavierItzm (talk) 23:17, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Theology is not a large academic area but this journal is held in over 900 libraries on WorldCat. It is indexed by SerialsSolutions, a signification indexing service. It has been preserved in Microform (and presumably that has been now digitized) by ATLA - "Atla is the hub of worldwide scholarly communication in theology and religion." So unless someone versed in Theology can dispute that this is a key journal in the field, I think it's a keeper. Lamona (talk) 00:23, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Serials is not a selective index. One also does not need to be a field expert in theology to argue against notability. The onus is on the subject to meen WP:GNG, not on us to show it doesn't meet it. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:52, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
But ATLA is certainly selective. StAnselm (talk) 21:56, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Evangelical Theological Society. There is no exception for journals in WP:GNG, and nobody here presents GNG-compliant sourcing, which means that most "keep" opinions should be disregarded. The article is also short enough to merge into the society, which is what we normally do with non-notable publications. Sandstein 06:56, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Created by indefinitely-blocked user Teckgeek who was a sockpuppet of Strider11, as part of a campaign of mass-creation.

This is a town of more than 100,000 people according to the article. The problem is that there is no evidence provided in the article, and none that I could find in my WP:BEFORE, that this place actually exists. The co-ordinates point to a random field in Rawalpindi, not Islamabad, or alternatively to a random compound that is also in Rawalpindi and whose address is not given as Nagail Sohal. A search of the Pakistani newspaper The Nation returns zero hits for "Nagail Sohal". Similarly there were no hits at all from GNews and GScholar searches. A search of Google returns only mirrors. There is a corresponding Urdu Wiki page but this is cited only to the English Wikipedia page, which shows just how harmful these low-quality Geostubs are.

The source on the page (Fallingrain.com) is simply a source for rainfall at a place called Nagail Sohal which states "Approximate population for 7 km radius from this point: 93871" - this is not the population of Nagail Sohal but simply an estimated number of people living near it, and is obviously a different number to that provided in the article. This source includes yet another set of co-ordinates that point to the village of Gujar Khan, also in Rawalpindi, not Islamabad. The content on this website is based on a grab-bag of unreliable sources and as such it too is unreliable.

The TL;DR version of this is that - unless I am very much mistaken (wrong Romanisation maybe?) - Wikipedia appears to have been hosting a hoax article created by a sock-puppet about an imaginary city of more than 100k people in Pakistan for the last 13 years. At the very least I'm not seeing either a WP:GEOLAND#1 pass (which would require legal recognition) nor a WP:GNG pass.

BTW - this is literally just the first Pakistan Geostub I checked at random. I haven't even looked for anything specific. FOARP (talk) 16:24, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The minimum standard is an RS that establishes it exists, and as an entity eligible under N:Geo. North8000 (talk) 16:51, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I suspect this is a real place. The one source cited [8] also gives more precise coordinates of latitude 33.2528, longitude 73.3357, and if you plug that into Google Maps you get this, which definitely looks like a settlement, but it's a small village rather than a town with a population of 117,591. However without a reliable source to say it exists and is called Nagail Sohal we can't have an article on it per the verifiability policy, and there doesn't seem to be one - the one link cited definitely doesn't look reliable and I can't find anything better. I suspect the 117,591 figure is taken from that link's estimate of the number of people living within 7km, which would include the city of Gujar Khan (population: 90,131).

KSAWikipedian - Only legally recognised populated places have presumed notability, per WP:GEOLAND#1. Weather.com does not show legal recognition (e.g., incorporation as a city or having a town charter), and as has been explained above, is not a reliable source. Additionally, PB is the area code for Punjab, but this place is supposedly in the Capital Territory. FOARP (talk) 19:52, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Generally yes towns, cities and villages are presumed to be notable as long as a reliable source shows it as such, the source doesn't mention what it is and doesn't seem to be reliable for that context anyway. Looking on maps/satellite there doesn't seem to be a town or even village there maybe just a few houses. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:09, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete don't think he made to the majors and just floated around the minor leagues for a few years, not sure that meets notability standards here. Generally, they have to play in the Majors or have extensive minor league history before getting an article here.

    Can you explain why, specifically, Leonard does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBASIC? Hatman31 (talk) 21:11, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Bleacher Report is three things I need to know about him and USA Today seems to be a few lines with mostly photos, neither of which is substantive coverage. The North State Journal looks ok. Rest of the sources are mostly passing mentions or brief pieces on him. He isn't a phenom tearing up the minors. Sources in the article basically just confirm where he played and what he did, there is hardly any mention of a family/social life, life after baseball or much of anything beyond stats. Oaktree b (talk) 21:44, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The USA Today piece has 534 words about Leonard; it appeared cut off to me initially, but that's the website's fault, not an issue with its content. I don't understand the demand that the sources discuss non-baseball topics; the reason they wrote about Leonard is because of his athletic career, so it seems natural that they focus on that. Finally, I strongly disagree that this, this, and this are "passing mentions or brief pieces". Hatman31 (talk) 22:56, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Just because its on the to-do list does not make it notable. Instead, the list itself needs to have been discussed as a group, and I'm not seeing that sources are as a group considering this list. My other concern is: are there any other lists like this? This is the only article that starts with "Films and television shows produced in..." Other articles on point cover national level films, not single cities.

    Do you mind if you go into more detail about what you’re saying? What you propose is what this article is about, almost all of the entries on the list were filmed entirely in Wilmington. The Wilmington film region spans about 50 miles outside of the city which includes Pender, Brunswick, and Onslow counties as mentioned on the Screen Gems website. Many films go to different places to shoot but as the previous comment said, entries can be removed that aren’t as important as others. But all in all this list is no different from other WP articles which involve major filming locations. DiscoA340 (talk) 15:10, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to its Anytown, USA, look, Wilmington boasts a resume of 200 productions, including the recent Oprah Winfrey-produced TV miniseries The Wedding."

Mass-created article made in violation of WP:MASSCREATE/WP:MEATBOT based on the 2006 Iranian census, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Carlossuarez46 for all the gory details. The Iranian census gathered data by whatever the closest named landmark was, including pumps, factories, farms, bridges, individual houses and so-forth, all of which may be abadi and need not be populated, so this is not actually a legally-recognised community and thus fails WP:GEOLAND#1. GEONet Names Server is an unreliable source and therefore cannot fix this. Lack of significant coverage in reliable sources also means this fails WP:GNG.

The word qanat (underground aqueduct) is sometimes used for villages but equally used to simply indicate an underground aqueduct system - a common feature of this dry country. The Google Translate version of the Farsi name is "White Aqueduct". The co-ordinates on the map appear to be within the locality of Khorramabad, Arzuiyeh - the address of the local shop is given in GMaps as "Khorramabad, بافت،استان کرمان،، 7C3Q+VMC, Iran", though this may possibly indicate that both are really in Baft since the Google translate of the Farsi part of the name is "Baft, Kerman province" and it is unusual for the lowest-level part of the address to be romanised.

TL;DR there is nothing here that shows this place actually exists as a village, and plenty of good reasons to doubt that it does. The WP:BURDEN is therefore on people wanting to keep this article and others like it to show why it should be kept. FOARP (talk) 12:54, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It's a lake, that has been the subject of dispute, in or close to a wildlife reserve. It appears in multiple environmental impact surveys. WP:GEOLAND says: Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands, etc. and this meets that criteria, based on the information that I just added, that I found by searching in google books. There is some uncited material in the article, but it all seems credible to me, based on what I read in the various sources that mention them. It is not clear to me the extent to which WP:GNG is met, due to the length of content in each article, but I think that consensus is that WP:GEOLAND has a lower bar and I think this passes it.

Gil Peñalosa[edit]

Gil Peñalosa (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

WP:BLP of an urban planner and as yet unelected political candidate, not properly referenced as passing a Wikipedia notability standard. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in future elections -- the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, while candidates get articles only if either (a) they already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten them an article anyway, or (b) they can show a credible reason why their candidacy should be seen as a special case of significantly greater and more enduring significance than most other people's candidacies.
But neither of those has been shown here at all; there's one news article about his candidacy, which is not in and of itself enough to vault his candidacy over the ten year test for enduring importance, and the content about his background and prior career is referenced entirely to sources that are not support for notability at all, such as the self-published primary source websites of directly affiliated organizations, blogs and Q&A interviews in which he's talking about himself in the first person.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in October if he wins the election, but simply being a candidate is not grounds for an article at all, and nothing else here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him and his work from having to be the subject of a lot more than just one piece of media coverage.

  • Comment I shall offer the comment that indeed, there was notability long before the political candidacy. I acknowledge that the article in its current form does not show that. What makes me hesitant to fix this deficiency myself is that I was heavily involved in getting Peñalosa to a conference as a keynote speaker (which then enabled me to populate the Commons category). Does that constitute a conflict of interest? I have a long list of CoIs and he's not on it, but maybe I should be extra careful at the moment given the political candidacy. I'll leave it there.

In my opinion, the article does not pass WP:GNG. The only source in relation to this article seems to be broken. Furthermore, I was going to suggest a merger with Southampton Boat Show, but I personally didn’t think it was worth it seeing as there is already somewhat sufficient information on the Act in that article already with Southampton International Boat Show Act 1997 adding little new (others may feel differently about this), so therefore brought it to AFD. If we do find more sources and information for this article, that would be great, but the question is would it be worth adding new information to this article over the Southampton Boat Show article, which I believe is sufficient to hold the information. As I have already mentioned, I personally feel like none of the information in this article add little to nothing more than what has already been mentioned at Southampton Boat Show, hence why I have brought this to AFD rather than requesting a merger, seeing as the content is already held elsewhere. However, listening to arguments may sway my opinion on this should people think a merger/keeping/redirecting is better than deletion. Fats40boy11 (talk) 11:00, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Disambiguate. A "querent" in this case simply means 'someone who seeks answers through a divination process' and so would make for a suitable redirect to Divination (where the term is introduced; I'm simply assuming the topic of querent is not notable per se). However, there's a second use of the term as well: as a less common synonym for Plaintiff. It appears reasonable to assume there's no primary topic here, so I propose 1) turning the article into a redirect to Divination and then moving it to something like Querent (divination) (in order to preserve the article history under a redirect that's related to the topic); then 2) turning Querent into a dab page; its content could be something like:
    Querent may refer to:
    Both meanings are reliably attested (e.g. OED), our readers are looking for them: the article receives about a thousands views each month, a third of which arrive from web searches [23] (so it's not just traffic from the incoming links), and we've got relevant articles for both meanings, so redirecting to Wiktionary would be out of the question. – Uanfala (talk) 12:33, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clear fail of overliance on primary sources, a lack of general coverage and coverage which is not significant. The subject is not notable in his field except for the claim off having the number one bible blog other blogsites. The "twitter controversy" is entirely sourced by twitter is a copy right violation of direct quotes from twitter interaction that received little to no coverage from other independent sources. Also fails WP:BLP and refers to the subject as a Biblical Scholar but then holds a doctorate from an unaccredited university and centres more on his blogging rather than achievements as an academic. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 21:46, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I'm not yet decided on deletion here, but the arguments offered in the nomination are not very good. If it could be established from secondary sources that he had the most popular biblical studies blog that would probably would be a valid claim of notability, regardless of whether it constituted an achievement as an academic per se. I think the problem with the Twitter controversy section isn't so much copyright as original research.Jahaza (talk) 22:02, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree - if I ran Earwig's copyright tool the copyright video is bad across the whole article. Additionally the rankings are based on Alexa searches according to the blog. Retail rankings are not considered reliable or appropriate. Furthermore, if this article is presenting the subject of the topic as an academic, they don't meet WP:NACADEMIC. If being presented as a general person or theologian, WP:BLP applies. I don't see how that could be met for an academic from an uncredited institution, who has not appeared in peer reviewed material or been quoted by others. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 22:54, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:BLP is not a notability guideline, so it can't be "met". My whole point is that he might be notable as a writer (of a blog) rather than as an academic. But of course "an academic from an uncredited institution, who has not appeared in peer reviewed material" can meet a notability guideline other than WP:BIO, because not being notable in one way is no obstacle to being notable in a different way.

Internationally, the subject has been quoted or interviewed by the British Broadcasting Corporation of the UK (2012) and by AMEN bijbelmagazine (2011) of the Netherlands.

Although some of the concepts mentioned on the page are notable, the grouping of them together as "Laws of information systems" doesn't seem to be. I couldn't find any sources supporting this term/concept being notable and searching found very little use of the term in general. JaggedHamster (talk) 10:16, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. The title and the concept are basically the creation of the article's author, as indicated by the lack of inline citations (not to mention the lack of wikilinks), suggesting WP:OR by synthesis. The choice of title, too, is essentially arbitrary; for example, the article conflates Brooks's law (yes, that isn't linked in the article either) with information systems, but Brooks was writing about software project management, which is not the same thing. I'd suggest a redirect, but it'd be to a WP:SYNTH combination of information systems, software engineering, software project management, and (in the case of Moore's law, for instance), computer architecture. By the way, of the four sources listed, one is Brooks (off-topic); one is Kurzweil (on Moore's law and such matters: not really about info. systems); one is Harmon 1998, on treating info. systems as thermodynamic engines; and the remaining one, Amaravadi 2004, is actually on the topic, but not sufficient on its own to establish notability. So the case is hopeless, please delete it at once. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:01, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable. The General Notability guideline requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". OK, this article has two sources. One is the Heritage Foundation, which is associated with the prize (not independent of the subject), the other is ricochet.com, which is user-generated, and which is also about one recipient, not about the award per se - definitely not significant coverage. In other words, neither source shows notability. I prodded the article, which was removed by a user who had found more sources via a Google News search, namely [24], [25], and [26]. Those are not reliable, however; compare discussion on Talk:Salvatori Prize for American Citizenship. Nor do they offer significant coverage; they're about people who have received the price, not the prize itself. The only independent source which discusses the prize at such (negatively) is this. But that's an opinion piece in a student newspaper. Bishonen | tålk 10:20, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete does not demonstrate notability as demanded by GNG and sourcing is inadequate. The information publicly available on the ASPS website leads me to conclude that a fellowship does not in and of itself confer notability. Draken Bowser (talk) 00:11, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Kj cheetham. American Society of Plastic Surgeons is a highly selective fellowship and is the highest achievement a plastic surgeon can get. Passes Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Criteria, point 3. Kulpiert (talk) 17:35, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Fellow of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons isn't even a thing. And, as our article says, more than 90% of U.S. plastic surgeons are members. On his own web site, he's listed as "an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons" not as a fellow.[27] Jahaza (talk) 06:40, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't understand, the fellowship program is advertised on their homepage [28]. But I agree that a notability claim must at least be verifiable and that there is insufficient evidence as to the exclusivity of this particular fellowship. Draken Bowser (talk) 08:20, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    A "fellow" can mean two things in American academic medicine. Membership as a "Fellow" in a professional organization such as the American College of Surgeons or the American College of Healthcare Executives represents meeting certain educational, experience, and examination requirements to be certified as having achieved a high level of competence beyond that required for ordinary board certification (although this would not generally be enough to demonstrate Wikipedia notability.) A fellow can also be a post-graduate medical education student who is doing extra training in a sub-specialty or other area of study after completing residency. The program for residents and fellows described on the Society web site is a membership program for fellows, i.e. early career surgeons completing extra training after residency, not a fellowship program, i.e. a certification program for plastic surgeons who meet advanced qualifications standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jahaza (talk • contribs)

  • Delete publication record isn't amazing. Article says that he's a faculty member at the University of Texas Dell Medical School, but their faculty search function doesn't return his name[29]. 06:43, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NACADEMIC. As indicated by Jahaza above, the claim of fellowship appears to be in the medical fellowship sense, not in the learned society fellow sense (and I find no evidence that the latter even exists in the ASPS). The publication record doesn't seem to meet the "significant impact" clause. --Kinu t/c 17:21, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:HEY. Seems like he has received a prestigious fellowship from Ghent University and is an inventor of a widely used technology called "ION". Additionally, in-depth articles from Insider and Dermascope further add to the notability [30], [31]. Meets WP:ANYBIO, WP:BASIC; he is an educator, so not sure if academic is a relevant guideline — WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO are more relevant. 2001:569:5593:5900:90E0:EBBE:1798:3609 (talk) 21:14, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, no evidence of GNG or PROF notability. The supposed "prestigious fellowship from Ghent University" mentioned above is completely unsourced and we have no evidence of it being in any way prestigious, let alone contributing to notability. Spammy churnalism in trade rags that quote him rather than being about him doesn't help either. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:27, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - First of all, the article's title is wrong because the musician, Alan Abrahams, has recorded under two different names: Portable and Bodycode, and his own Bandcamp page calls him Portable a.k.a. Bodycode. If the article is kept, it should probably be called Alan Abrahams and then it would explain that he has recorded under multiple stage names. Unfortunately, none of this is notable, and the various albums are only visible in the usual streaming and retail directories. I cannot find reviews or journalistic discussion of any of the albums released under either name, nor any media notice for his career overall. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:14, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bald Move[edit]

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

I'm opening another AfD for this page because I felt that the consensus made in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bald Move was incorrect. I opened the previous AfD about eight months ago and I think that's a reasonable amount of time to wait for improvements to the page or the discovery of new sources. I believe my previous argument for deletion still stands as the only sources cited in the discussion were trivial mentions of the company itself (rather than individual shows produced by the company). To reiterate, a company does not inherit notability from notable products, shows, people and other things associated with the company. If the shows produced by this company are notable than they should be created as independent pages.

Here's a rundown of the sources that were previously cited. Desert News mentions the phrase "Bald Move" a total of three times "Jim Jones and A. Ron Hubbard, hosts of the movie and television podcast 'Bald Move'", "Hubbard of 'Bald Move' agreed", and "according to the 'Bald Move' podcast hosts". These are trivial mentions that don't provide any useful information about the company. Lifehacker mentions "Bald Move" once saying "Another fan favorite is Watching Westworld, from the Bald Move slate of TV podcasts" which is also clearly a trivial mention. 25YL which mentions "Bald Move" once saying "This week I’m looking into We Do: A Watchmen Podcast, from Bald Move". Metro mentions "Bald Move" once saying "This podcast is hosted by Jim and A.Ron of Bald Move" which is clearly a trivial mention of the company. Desert News mentions the company once saying "Jim Jones and Aaron Hubbard, hosts of a podcast network called 'Bald Move'" which is clearly a trivial mention. 25YL mentions the company in one sentence saying "The folks at Bald Move have started Foundation and Podcast on their 'Bald Move Pulp' feed."

It's also worth mentioning the reliability of the sources. WP:METRO is listed at RSP as generally unreliable. The one 25YL source doesn't appear to have an author and the other is written by a staff writer Brien Allen, but it appears anyone can send in an article to be published. It looks like LifeHacker has had varying levels of reception at RSN. Desert News does appear to have consensus at RSN as a reliable source. TipsyElephant (talk) 18:54, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, SABRE is not a reliable source and secondly it contains less information about this road than the article does. Thryduulf (talk) 10:01, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I would prefer to keep this. But I am biased as I wrote most of the article and it is close to my childhood home. I wrote it 14 years ago, and haven't really gone back to it. I would probably write a better sourced article now, although I am very busy with work right now but I wanted to comment before it was too late. Wikipedia with it's 6.5 million articles is going to have articles on small locations and infrastructure. I know it's smaller priority than the south circular, but it seems just as notable as A2199 road, Burnt Ash Pond, Northbrook Park, London, A2216 road, Dartford Cable Tunnel, or Grove Park Sidings. I admit it's not very well written, I wrote it 14 years ago when I was less experienced editor, It is a main route that has existed for centuries, but guilty of not being the M25. I am sure when I have time I/we could write a better article with good sources like I did for local parks in the area that also aren't nationally famous, Northbrook Park, London, The Tarn, Horn Park (park).  Carlwev  18:37, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect per above. When 2/3 of the article is about the buses and trains that happen to run near the road, it's just not worth a separate article. (Not to mention, the postal codes!) --Rschen7754 18:57, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As said by Roads4117, add some references fro reliable sources, for example SABRE, and then tidy up the article to maybe reduce the content about public transport and focus more on the road itself. Rillington (talk) 12:52, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Li Ka-shing#Internet and technology. Rough consensus is that the sources found by Cunard don't establish notability because they are routine business reporting, but that a redirect is a sensible alternative to deletion. Sandstein 12:09, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

None of the references meet NCORP criteria for establishing notability and anything I find is related either to an announcement or one of their investments or an interview. HighKing++ 15:33, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi, the FT article from June 2020 focuses a lot on Li Ka-shing (great name too) and "his" investments although the topic company is run by his long-term companion Ms. Chau. The article lists various companies in which the topic company invested in - but the article does not provide information on its sources. It credits "one finance industry professional who has dealt with Horizons" and to "data compiled by Dealogic" saying that "Many of the deals are private and the size of many investments have not been disclosed. Horizons does not report its returns". Ms Chau refused an interview request. Another source is described as "One investor who knows Horizons". Yet more information is credited to "People who know Ms Chau". I'm not seeing enough reliable information that meet CORPDEPTH. The WSJ source is older from 2015 and is also focused on the people, Li Ka-shing and Ms. Chau who refused to be interviewed, as well as the topic company. The information provided about the topic company is little more that a recitation of various companies into which the topic company invested and some of their well-publicised exits. The quotes/information are provided by people affiliated with the company or companies they've invested in or alongside. Again, I just don't see any CORPDEPTH material on the topic company, just a lot of surface-level recitation of deals which were available on lots of websites such as crunchbase, dealroom, etc. Finally, since most of the information is already in the Li Ka-shing article I would not be against a redirect to there instead.

  • Delete. This again. It doesn't matter how much money is invested, how much money the company shovels around, who its partners are, or which analysts want to price its stock. This article is a perma-stub. The criteria at WP:NCORP call on us to "consider whether they have had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education." This one does not seem to, and follows the common "in business, raised money" template I mention in WP:SERIESA. I vehemently disagree with User:Cunard's frequent argument that "by the numbers" reporting on these kinds of companies establishes notability. FalconK (talk) 23:24, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Li Ka-Shing is notable, and the coverage of Horizons Ventures on his page is adequate. Having two pages covering mostly the same material is unnecessary. Anyone looking for info on Horizons Ventures will be better off landing on his page, and there doesn't seem to be anything unique to differentiate this venture capital firm from hundreds of other non-notable venture capital firms, which is probably why none of the media coverage actually focuses on the firm itself, beyond passing mentions. Chagropango (talk) 10:04, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I have the utmost respect for User:Cunard's abilities to find sources, as I hope they're aware. I'll confess I'm often persuaded to !vote keep by sources Cunard presents during formal procedures. I'm sure that's partially because we share similar views on notability and verifiability, and I'm inclined to support such views. In this case, they have presented us a series of routine business news articles, to my limited ability to read them. I performed a reasonable BEFORE and I'm not seeing anything in English sources which reads differently than the summaries of Cunard's translated quotations. Yes the company is verifiable; No the subject lacks significant coverage directly detailing from multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. Li Ka-Shing is well covered and his foundation gets him more wiki-ink, but given the breadth of this fellow's activities, I don't even think this company is notable to him. BusterD (talk) 21:38, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • BusterD (talk · contribs), how is coverage in two book sources and an academic journal article "routine business news articles"? Cunard (talk) 00:49, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm willing to amend my comment to "routine business coverage." This is a company that has acquired capital and invested wisely. Good for them. One of the two women who founded the company happens to be the "partner" "long term companion" of the "30th richest man in the world." Totally independent? Not so much. IMHO, everything I'm reading about Horizons Ventures is seems to be written in a manner and by somebody who wants to please Li Ka-Shing. Just not seeing corporate depth. BusterD (talk) 01:50, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • Horizons Ventures received two pages of coverage in a book that discusses the company's history and significance. How is this "routine business coverage" and how does this not meet WP:CORPDEPTH? If two pages of coverage in a book is not enough to meet WP:CORPDEPTH, what would be enough?

          Horizons Venture co-founder Solina Chau is a business partner of Li Ka-Shing. She is not the "partner" of him which has a different meaning. From https://www.forbes.com/profile/solina-chau/, "Chau founded venture powerhouse Horizons Ventures in 2002 with partner Debbie Chang Pui Vee. Li Ka-shing came in as a backer two years later." These sources are all independent of Li Ka-Shing. There is no evidence that they were "written in a manner and by somebody who wants to please Li Ka-Shing". Sources with a positive tone that are independent of the subject can be used to establish notability.

          Cunard (talk) 02:16, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

          • Excuse me for reading "long term companion" in the WSJ source and not drawing the conclusion she is totally independent of her business "partner". Are you reading what you just wrote? The standard of corporate depth may be met in a two page book mention? Really? WP:CORPDEPTH literally concludes a company possesses such depth if it's "possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization." A ridiculously low standard. And these sources are the best that can be found? By a wikipedian whose sourcing acumen is well respected? Write more than a very brief, incomplete stub on this subject and I'll concede depth. Everything I'm able to see in sources is already in the article. BusterD (talk) 09:02, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
            • Sorry if I lost my temper. BusterD (talk) 15:06, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
            • I cannot believe my comments would provoke such a hurtful response infused with hostility at me. You called two pages of coverage "a two page book mention" and WP:CORPDEPTH "a ridiculously low standard". Two pages of coverage in a book is not a "mention". The WP:CORPDEPTH guideline is the community consensus-backed standard even if you believe it is "a ridiculously low standard". The Chinese-language sources contain plenty of information that is not in the Wikipedia article, which at 157 words is already beyond a "very brief, incomplete stub". Editors' comments here dissuade me from investing time into improving the article which could still get deleted after it is improved. I will limit my response to this as discussing this further would make this an even more unpleasant experience for me. Cunard (talk) 05:27, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The editors who supported deletion have not refuted the significant coverage about the company in several books (two pages in Feng 2020 and multiple paragraphs in O'Neill 2018).

    Xu & Li 2014 is published in 中国证券期货, an academic journal of securities and futures published by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing. From a Google Translate of the federation's Wikipedia article (zh:中国物流与采购联合会), "China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing is a national, non-profit and industry social organization composed of enterprises, institutions and social groups in the logistics and procurement industry of the People's Republic of China. It is under the supervision of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council." The article discusses the significance and impact of Horizon Ventures' investments and the work of the two women who founded the company, which shows Horizon Ventures is independent of Li Ka-Shing.

    To say that these book and academic journal sources are "'by the numbers' reporting" or "routine business news articles" is very inaccurate. Cunard (talk) 00:49, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    • Response The book Hong Kong Chinese Consortium (1841–2020) by Feng provides a standard description of the company on page 504 complete with a map/diagram taken from the topic company's website and on page 505 lists some of the investments - the exact same information from the websiate and the same as that which we've seen in multiple other articles. It is neither significant nor in-depth. Nor is it two full pages about the company as you've described, it is more accurate to say there are a couple of sentences on each of the pages that deal specifically with this company. In a similar vein, the brief mention in the book by O'Neill for a total of three sentences is neither significant nor in-depth. Finally, why do you say that the paper published in Issue 3 2014 of China Securities Futures by Xu Xiaoyin (translator) Li Qiqi is about this topic company? You say that it discusses the significance and impact of Horizon Ventures' investments and the work of the two women who founded the company, which shows Horizon Ventures is independent of Li Ka-Shing. Perhaps you've mistaken the reference or something because the article journal you've linked to appears to not even mention the topic company, focussed instead on a different firm "Victoria Harbour Investment" which is another Li Ka-shing investment vehicle. HighKing++ 21:22, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't agree with the analysis of the sources. Feng 2020 provides detailed analysis about the company's history on two pages. If translated from Chinese into English using Google Translate, the text about the company would amount to over 500 English words, which is very substantial coverage that meets WP:CORPDEPTH. It is not surprising that the source discusses Horizons Ventures' investments in significant companies and that other sources do too as this is what is notable about the ocmpany. This does not mean the source is not independent. The inclusion of a map of the investments from the company does not mean the text is non-independent. I read through the company's website including pages like https://www.horizonsventures.com/portfolio/ and https://www.horizonsventures.com/news/ and could not verify that the text of the book is based on the website. If translated from Chinese into English using Google Translate, O'Neill 2018 would provide at least 250 words about the company, which is significant coverage. The paper Xu & Li 2014 is about Horizons Ventures. The paper has "维港投资" in the title, which corresponds with the Chinese characters in the logo of http://www.horizonsventures.com/. "Victoria Harbour Investment" is what Google Translate translates the Chinese name of Horizons Ventures to.
