The result was keep . The nominator in a deletion discussion has to articulate a policy-based reason for an article deletion. But I also see a consensus to Keep this article given the additional sources supplied. Liz Read! Talk! 23:24, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Subject fails GNG and NCORP. All the source material I could find was ROUTINE (police activity in the news, complaints against the police), as this article relies on the subject's website. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:05, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep It is a major police department. It is notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PaulinSaudi (talk • contribs) 14:10, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep A search turned up a racial profiling incident (here and here) which seems to pass WP:ORGCRIT:
A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
In addition to those, we can also add this trivial mention. Putting aside for the moment all of the primary sources cited, we can also add to the above a few other references already present in the article, such as this (trivial) and this one that does go into some detail about statistics. StonyBrook babble 08:32, 25 April 2023 (UTC)- Keep. I added text to the article (under History section) about the racial profiling incident. @StonyBrook - thank you for the sources for that.

A run-of-the-mill startup with no evidence of notability. The article relies on company announcements and press releases, which are insufficient to pass the WP:NCORP threshold. Maduant (talk) 22:48, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete This "start-up" is 6 years old now and the only coverage we have is funding announcements. If they haven't gotten critical notice in that time, there are likely no RS. I can't find anything beyond retailer PR websites and funding discussions. It's not even a start-up at this point. Oaktree b (talk) 22:58, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete: An article about a B2B company, originally created via AfC. The article and its references largely concern service proposition and funding announcements, which are insufficient for WP:CORPDEPTH. A couple of start-up industry awards are listed but these do not appear notable in their own right. Searches find a company founder being quoted in articles about wider economic prospects ([1], [2]), but I am not seeing the coverage about the firm itself needed to demonstrate notability here, nor is there an article on Vora Ventures which could provide a redirect alternative. AllyD (talk) 07:30, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Maduant Improve the Article: Appreciate your feedback and believe that additional sources could strengthen the article's credibility and meet the WP:NCORP threshold for notability. As the article was created in 2020 via 'AFC' template, and noticed that the information/citation may have become outdated. Instead of nominating for deletion, Addition of new sources can improve the article's notability. Niclepo (talk) 07:30, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Being hounded by antivax people isn't terribly notable, her career is unremarkable, rest could be briefly covered in any number of Covid articles. I'm not seeing BLP, or simple GNG. Her fainting event was non-notable. Oaktree b (talk) 20:48, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete this is BLP1E. Walt Yoder (talk) 00:39, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
Keep. I agree that she is mainly notable for one event, but WP:BLP1E is a tool for deciding between an event article or a biographical article, so the correct conclusion to the BLP1E test is to keep this as an event article. I think there is plenty reliable sources that cover her fainting. CT55555(talk) 00:54, 23 April 2023 (UTC)- No, the correct way to use "the BLP1E test" here is to delete the article. From WP:BLP1E:
Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met
. Walt Yoder (talk) 01:26, 23 April 2023 (UTC)- If you click through to the further guidance WP:BIO1E and read the first line, it makes it abundantly clear what the guidance is about
When an individual is significant for their role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both
and you'll note the three possible outcomes. CT55555(talk) 01:39, 23 April 2023 (UTC)it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives; the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment.
- I don't see how you can read that page and think it supports the argument that low-profile individuals tangentially involved in one event (by being harassed) should have more coverage here. Walt Yoder (talk) 15:52, 23 April 2023 (UTC)- People who do a media interview are not WP:LOWPROFILE. See:
- https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinformation/tiffany-dover-conspiracy-theorists-silence-rcna69401
- There is nothing sensationalist about articles that disprove misinformation. That is the opposite of sensationalism.
- I see that you don't follow my argument. That's OK. Let's agree to differ, let others opine, and let who ever closes the discussion judge our arguments on their merits. It's time to give space to others, so I hope we can leave this with an agreement to disagree, noting WP:BLUDGEON. CT55555(talk) 16:10, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- If you click through to the further guidance WP:BIO1E and read the first line, it makes it abundantly clear what the guidance is about
- No, the correct way to use "the BLP1E test" here is to delete the article. From WP:BLP1E:
- Delete - Fails BLP1E. BilCat (talk) 01:46, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Please keep. BLP1E employs the concept of "low-profile individual" (criteria 2) for exclusion. I believe Dover no longer meets that criteria, as she started to proactively interact with the national media two weeks ago. Re-reading the guidance, I see the policy is meant to protect people who don't wish to be in the limelight. Given the amplitude of the coverage by RS sources over more than two years and the different angles the story took (initial event; her own reaction and the hospital's; the increasing number of people affected over time; Dover talking about the story 2 years later), I think we have a wikipedia article.
- Part of the difficulty is naming the article after the person rather than an event, but I wasn't able to find something more satisfactory. I fiddled with "Tiffany Dover affair" and others, but none of the sources provide alternatives. Robincantin (talk) 02:21, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, but I suggest renaming to something like Tiffany Dover vaccine death conspiracy. When CT55555 suggested that WP:BLP1E was about
deciding between an event article or a biographical article
, they were likely referring to its section hatnote article: WP:Notability (people)#People notable for only one event. There, it gives the example of Travis Walton UFO incident as an event article name, rather than a BLP. That may be more appropriate here. Dover's fainting event was made famous not only by the anti-vaxxers but also by anyone who just didn't want to get a 'new' COVID-19 vaccine and those railing against mandatory vaccinations (even though they routinely get other vaccines and wouldn't be characterized as anti-vaxxers). It was forwarded as 'truth' by not an insignificant number of 'media'. There was a proliferation of false information spread about this event and everyone was affected by it. The topic passes WP:GNG and WP:Notability (events). The event had lasting repercussions that affected a large population, and geographic area (the entire USA, if not further afield). The proliferation of false information about the event spawned a lot of coverage by mainstream media (reliable sources) in order to denounce the false information. The false claims [4] and the counter-coverage persisted over a long period of time, and are still in play today, over two years later. Therefore my suggestion to 'keep' and rename to an event title such as Tiffany Dover vaccine death conspiracy. Grorp (talk) 04:55, 23 April 2023 (UTC) - MERGE with COVID-19 vaccine misinformation and hesitancy, person is non-notable and fails BLP1E.
Merge. We do not need standalone articles on every minor conspiratorial media blip propagated by conservatives, especially not when they're BLPs. JoelleJay (talk) 19:13, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Someone who once fainted on camera and is not otherwise notable. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 19:34, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - per WP:DEL#REASON#9 - this article appears to breach WP:BLP policy and there does not appear to be a suitable merge target - the harassment of an individual, their family, and workplace does not appear WP:DUE or BLP-compliant in potentially related articles. Per WP:AVOIDVICTIM, this living person appears to have been the subject of news coverage 'largely or entirely from being a victim of another's actions', and
Wikipedia editors must not act, intentionally or otherwise, in a way that amounts to participating in or prolonging the victimization.
The intro to BLP policy cautions "it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives; the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment." The harassment of a living person, her family, and her workplace also does not appear to be a notable WP:EVENT, per the guidelines to help determine whether content should be excluded as WP:NOTNEWS - for this harassment of a living person, her family, and her workplace, there does not appear to be a noted and sourced permanent effect of historical significance, or a demonstrable long-term impact on a significant region of the world or a significant widespread societal group. The initial burst of coverage (Dec 2020/Jan 2021), one Politifact source (Oct 2021) and a small flurry of coverage related to her recent NBC News interview seems closer to the WP:SENSATIONAL coverage we are cautioned against using for event and BLP articles. Also, this subject does not appear to be a "media personality" as discussed in the WP:LOWPROFILE essay, and one recent interview does not seem to fit the overall pattern of high-profile activity described in the essay; the available sources indicate this is also WP:BLP1E, so WP:NOTNEWS further supports deletion. Beccaynr (talk) 19:58, 23 April 2023 (UTC) - Delete Mainly per Beccaynr. WP:DEL-REASON gives
Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons
as a reason for deletion - there are WP:BLP concerns here. WP:1E, from the notability guideline also saysavoid the creation of unnecessary pseudo-biographies, especially of living people.
--Tristario (talk) 00:13, 24 April 2023 (UTC) - Delete This is a low profile individual who doesn't need this article hanging around her neck for the rest of her life. Clear WP:BLP1E for a low-profile individual. Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:29, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Per Beccaynr, and the article fails WP:BLP1E. Isi96 (talk) 01:31, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete this is clearly a BLP1E. // Timothy :: talk 11:13, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Her name possibly bears mention in a few articles on COVID 19 and/or the vaccine but there's not enough here to hang an article on. --Jayron32 12:34, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- I think 'publication in secondary sources other than news media, such as scholarly journals or the work of recognized experts', as described in WP:BLPNAME, could potentially help support a mention of the event in other potentially-related articles, but we do not seem to have that quality or quantity of sourcing available at this time.

Non-notable pornographic actor. Being in the AVN hall of fame is swell, but we have no coverage in RS talking about the individual. Oaktree b (talk) 20:45, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

- Mr. Pete has been performing regularly since 23 years ago. According to IAFD.com he appears in over 3580 titles as a performer and 98 titles as a director. In addition, he has been awarded by AVN, XRCO and XBIZ, the most relevant adult film companies at the present moment. Finally, he has wikipedia pages in french, italian, spanish and swedish among other foreign languages. Therefore, I do not get your point when you say Mr. Pete is a non-notable pornographic actor. cantarach (talk) 22:41, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- He has no coverage in reliable sources, see the links posted above under the nomination. Wikipedia notability. He isn't discussed in the New York Times or books. We can't keep articles that aren't discussed by other individuals. IAFD is not a source we recognize. Oaktree b (talk) 22:44, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- And your Mr. Pete article has already been turned down three times, per the discussion links on your talk page. You should fully understand why it's not notable at this point. Oaktree b (talk) 22:45, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- I posted those links because I thought that obviously, they would be more interesting to Wikipedia. cantarach (talk) 23:00, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- As I said, you can find articles on Wikipedia about Mr. Pete in different languages, for example french, italian or spanish. They look very similar to the one I wrote and I cannot understand why you do like those articles mentioned but not mine. cantarach (talk) 23:03, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- The sources in those Wikipedia articles are unreliable and unacceptable for biographies of living persons. IMDb biographical information is user-generated content. The Spanish Wikipedia page cites IMDb and Who Dated Who (also unreliable). The French Wikipedia page is translated from the Italian page. That one cites self-published aiwards.com. Even if the sources were reliable, the awards roster listings don't constitute significant coverage. The Russian page appears to be a translated from the English-language page deleted in 2022. Swedish: no sources. Unacceptable in all cases. • Gene93k (talk) 03:06, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Almost half the sourcing is Imdb is crowd sourced, i.e., the bio subject could have edited the source himself. Much of the other sourcing is questionable. Most of the awards are not sourced. Only two sourced for all three main sections. There's a reason this is a stub article - not much content or substance. — Maile (talk) 22:23, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Non-notable "viral sensation". Has may views on tik tok, but no critical notice, never had a charted single and no coverage in RS/extensive coverage upon which we can build an article. Oaktree b (talk) 20:42, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

- With nearly a dozen or more other articles on this site for "viral sensations," I don't think your argument holds much weight. She's featured in a national ad campaign, headlining tours with major acts, written songs for others, and sang/played on other recordings, she's got enough information out there to build a case. There are similar musicians like her on this site that have never had a charted single. Where are these unwritten rules for creating an article for someone? And if there is such rules, who selectively follows them? Bluesman2383 (talk) 00:25, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- No, the rules of singers are pretty clear, see WP:MN. She's not appeared in published works, had two or more records/singles, has never charted nor certified gold. She likely also doesn't meet WP:BIO as we don't have multiple sources discussing her at length. Oaktree b (talk) 03:05, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- One small biography for the scholarship, rest are linkedin, tour bios and non-RS websites. She hasn't received enough critical attention for her works. Being featured in an ad campaign is fine, but we need things that talk about her, none of which we have. Oaktree b (talk) 03:08, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- She's been on Rachel Ray - there's a newspaper article in their from The Tennessean and a Billboard Magazine article. Not sure those are non-RS websites. Again, feeling like you are arbitrarily nitpicking. There's many others on here with far less that remain or are considered "stubs." Bluesman2383 (talk) 23:40, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

- Comment There is a review in PopMatters (2021) of The Half Record, and a review with some interview in the The Moultrie Observer (2021) that notes her TikTok popularity due to her "Stand by Your Pan" cooking series in 2020, and "she has recently been named in the Class of 2021 CMT Next Women of Country". The CMT list has 10 country artists, and a solid graf summarizing her career through Jan. 2021. Dasher was also interviewed by American Songwriter in 2021, which includes some contextual details about her career (e.g. "named a 2021 Fender Next Artist", when she began releasing music, performers she has opened for). The 2021 People interview does not seem to have much independent context (but does mention "co-writing credits on Lainey Wilson's song "LA" off her 2019 EP Redneck Hollywood"). The CMT Next Women of Country is reported on by The Tennessean in 2022, with quotes from Dasher, who is introduced as "With hair teased to the heavens and wearing a trademark polyester bell-bottomed pantsuit, Aug. 31 showcase performer Hannah Dasher is the ideal person to speak about what CMT's Next Women of Country program means...". A 2020 Rolling Stone list of Country Music Picks for the Week of November 23rd includes her "Girls Call the Shots" song; Guitar.com in 2022 notes "In the past year, Fender have features [sic] countless female Player Plus artists on it’s [sic] TikTok account, such as Country musician Hannah Dasher...". I think this article would benefit from some clean up for tone/puffery and to remove social media and blog references, but there appears to be some support for WP:BASIC notability based on her TikTok and music career.

- Keep as the reliable sources coverage identified by Beccaynr show a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:03, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete As always I admire the work done by Beccaynr in analyzing sources. However, I have a different assessment of the sources. I don't think that her "awards" are significant. The kind of "next women" thing is at best promotional, and has little factual value. Who knows how they pick the ten but I'd bet money that there's nothing scientific about it. The People magazine is a puff piece (of course). The other sources, American Songwriter, Country Swag -- the former article could possibly be considered reliable and significant. The latter, again, is mainly promotional. Other than that I get her name-checked but that's about it. As far as I can tell, she hasn't charted on a national chart.

This article does not meet WP:NFILM. The only reviews I could find are from three Christian websites, which briefly describe the plot and note whether it is appropriate for children being raised in the Christian faith. Those reviews are at Movie Mom (which is no longer live), Common Sense Media, and Dove.org. Setting aside whether those sources are reliable, none of the reviews meet the standard for significant coverage as they are brief, highly context specific, and do not contain any additional relevant information about the film. voorts[2] 17:21, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose - user:Donaldd23 opposed the WP:PROD and tagged the article as needing citations for verification, which is a legitimate alternative to deletion (WP:ATD). That process needs to be allowed some time to work out rather than going immediately to AfD. I'd be more likely to support merging into Frank Nappi than outright deletion (although I think with a little time and effort, satisfactory sources could be turned up). ButlerBlog (talk) 18:34, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, not sure why "Christian" sites are being dismissed in regards to this film. Common Sense Media is listed as a Reliable Source for Wikipedia: WP:RSPSOURCES. The Dove Foundation (Dove.org), while not specifically listed on the RS page, is respected American non-profit organization and has been used hundreds of times in deletion discussions are an arguement for keep. Therefore, these 2 reviews passes WP:NFO easily, as condition one of that guidelines says "film(s) (that are) widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics."
This deletion discussion should not be happening as I fully explained this in the summary when I removed the PROD.[7] DonaldD23 talk to me 19:54, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- There are also reviews at Box Office Revolution[8], and the Movie Mom one is listed as a Critic Review at Rotten Tomatoes [9]. The fact that it is no longer a live link is irrelevant. DonaldD23 talk to me 19:59, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- To clarify, I'm not arguing that the websites should be dismissed because they're Christian, but rather because they reviews are solely related to whether the films are suitable for viewing by Christian youths. The review on each of the three websites I noted are 2-3 paragraphs long; I wouldn't describe those as "full-length" or significant reviews. Moreover, WP:NFO says that the existence of two full-length reviews will "generally indicate" a film would meet the criterion for notability, not that it necessarily will. voorts[5] 20:42, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect to Light pollution. I stand my ground from the previous AfD that the topic is too similar, in that both topics are about an excess of artificial light. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 18:36, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Light pollution, which seems to be be broadly the same thing. Most of the Overillumination article content is poor and can be thrown out. If enough high-quality content specific to indoor light pollution ever manifests then it can be spun back out into a separate article. Popcornfud (talk) 15:26, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Popcornfud is making a WP:TNT argument. My AfD experience is that these don't frequently prevail. Normally the community prefers to improve flawed articles on notable subjects.

- Keep: Per WP:SPINOFF, Overillumination is already a sub-topic of a fairly long Light pollution article, so a redirect wouldn't be useful. It would be better to clean up the article in question. Praemonitus (talk) 02:06, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- Clean it up sounds good, but who are going to clean up the article and when? There are so many good articles that are deleted or moved to draftspace on Wikipedia every day, why should this article be an exception? It has been standing in pretty poor condition for years, and in my opinion most of the content is not relevant to the article topic. Overillumination sounds like term describing a situation where there is presence of too much light, if there even exists such a thing (debatable, but that is what the article could be used to demonstrate). Instead, much of the discussion in the article is about efficient energy use, which is a separate topic and has nothing to do with light pollution - one has to do with energy usage, the other has to do with effects of too much light. Sauer202 (talk) 15:41, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- "Clean it up sounds good, but who are going to clean up the article and when?" Quite. Realistically, this almost never happens, and when it does happen the article require rewriting from scratch. WP:TNT, please. Popcornfud (talk) 16:20, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect to Light pollution, clearly an unneeded CFORK that dups an existing topics. // Timothy :: talk 13:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Treating this as a CFORK presents a problem as they're two different subjects. Anyone actually reading the article on Light pollution will find the following definition, backed by 4 sources: "Light pollution is the presence of anthropogenic artificial light in otherwise dark conditions" (my italics). Overillumination however has a definition "Overillumination is the presence of lighting intensity higher than that which is appropriate for a specific activity. Overillumination was commonly ignored between 1950 and 1995, especially in office and retail environments."
- One is talking about dark environments, the other about light environments.
- We cannot write about overillumination of retail etc. environments (which is undoubtedly an encyclopaedic and notable topic) in the Light pollution unless we change the definition there, and that's going to be impossible to do given that it's very well sourced. So if we delete this article, we can't discuss the subject anywhere. Elemimele (talk) 13:47, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- I understand the point here, but I don't think the conclusion is quite correct. I believe we can cover related concepts under a single article if there isn't sufficient content to justify a separate page for the other concept. Popcornfud (talk) 14:04, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Deleting overillumination would not make it a forbidden topic for the eternal future. Quite the contrary, I would love for the article to become good. It just currently sucks very bad, and is written from such a skewed viewpoint that I don't feel it is good enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. It edges towards unscientific if not unscientific. Alternatively I suggest to instead move it to draftspace, so it can die in peace unless someone™ actually comes and improves it. Sauer202 (talk) 14:47, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- That someone could be you. It is annoying when editors say things suck and won't lift a finger to improve them. WP:NOTHERE? ~Kvng (talk) 14:14, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Light pollution. This article is really redundant in scope with light pollution, and honestly, the light pollution article's content on this is not distinctly different in size either, so there's no real justification for a spinoff. I'm not really seeing anything that has to be merged either, so as others have said, probably best to just start from scratch and work within the parent article instead for focus.

A source from a league where the subject is playing is not independent from him as the league has direct interest in to promote its teams and players. And a fan blog is not a reliable source per WP:USERGENERATED. Per WP:NSPORT, athletes must pass the general notability guideline and to pass GNG the subject must have significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

- Keep: It's fairly standard and acceptable to have an article on the single next election, even a few years away. Template:Politics of Australia has the upcoming election for every state. In some cases if there's little to say a redirect to a main article can be better, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Reywas92Talk 18:42, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per Reywas92. We have articles titled 2024 Australian Capital Territory general election, 2024 Northern Territory general election, 2024 Queensland state election! 2025 Western Australian state election, 2026 Victorian state election, 2027 New South Wales state election, next Australian federal election and next Tasmanian state election, so this article makes sense. In fact we have a whole category called Category:Future elections in Australia that has several subcategories. Thiscouldbeauser (talk) 03:19, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I'm somewhat agnostic on this, but I think AfD precedent is against keeping this and there's a policy hole. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of upcoming elections in Germany was recently resolved to delete which was sourced and only contained elections up to 2026. In 2011, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United States Senate election in Alabama, 2014 was resolved to delete (incorporated 16 other state articles). Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2024 elections in India, two years out from the election, with a great deal of sourcing, while producing a keep result, still showed a very drawn out discussion with strong arguments for delete. There's a lot of other examples, but the tendency, other than the US, appears to be around the two year mark as that is often the point at which sourcing begins to appear for many state and national elections. While one came overcome WP:CRYSTAL as this is a certain event, the problem is that there is no actual sourcing; it fails the GNG. As an AtD it could be moved to Next South Australian state election, athought we have precedent for deleting those types too when four years away (see for example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Next Indian general election in West Bengal). Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 04:17, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, appears that once a previous election is completed, that it is normal to establish an article for the next one, e.g. 2024 United States presidential election was moved from draftspace in November 2020, after that year's election was over. While it is a bit light on at the moment, that will improve as events happen closer to the date. Yetdelph (talk) 06:33, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I have similar concerns to Goldsztajn above, since this event is a few years away. The current sourcing doesn't seem to be sufficiently in-depth to meet WP:GNG. MrsSnoozyTurtle 05:42, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Leith Ross (singer)[edit]

WP:BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC. The strongest notability claim here is of the "got X number of streams on Spotify" variety, which is no part of our notability criteria for musicians at all.
The "awards" criterion, meanwhile, is looking for top-level national awards that get media coverage for the purposes of establishing the notability of the award, such as a Grammy or a Juno, so the "John Prine Songwriter Fellowship" (sourced to its own self-published content about itself) isn't cutting it -- and the touring criterion is not automatically passed by every single musician who does a tour, but requires the tour itself to be the subject of media coverage (e.g. concert reviews, analysis of the creative significance of the tour, etc.) in GNG-worthy media sources, and just sourcing the existence of a tour to press releases self-published by the artist's record label to announce the tour isn't good enough.
But this is referenced almost entirely to bad sources that aren't GNG-building at all -- blogs, PR self-published by Leith Ross's record label, university student media, Q&A interviews where Leith Ross is answering questions in the first person rather than being talked about or analyzed in the third, and on and so forth. Out of 20 footnotes, just one (an album review in Exclaim!) counts as a reliable or GNG-building source at all, but one valid source isn't enough all by itself.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when Leith has a stronger notability claim and better sourcing for it than this, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sourcing from having to be better than this. Bearcat (talk) 21:49, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete regretfully, per WP:MILL and WP:TOOSOON. Firstly, there are reg flags. There is slight notability and coverage, but not a fair amount. If this artist had even won a notable queer performing arts fellowship, such as BOFFO or FIAR, then I would advocate for inclusion. (For fans of this artist, they could apply for next year.) Finally, I must agree with the nom as far as WP:NBAND applies. Bearian (talk) 14:08, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

- Strong keep: The article needs beefing up and clean up for sure, but at a glance it clearly meets WP:BAND on at least criteria 1 (I see headlining articles from Clash, The Michigan Daily, Exclaim!, ON Magazine, and Yahoo! in the reflist), and since they seem to have toured both nationally in Canada and internationally in the US and Europe, that would meet criteria 4 as well. Again, the article needs a lot of work, but I'd say it absolutely meets the notability requirements to avoid deletion and deserves a chance to be improved. Invisiboy42293 (talk) 21:29, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Additional: I just edited the article to add more RS sources and better reflect their notability. They've been pretty widely covered by notable outlets like Clash, Exclaim!, Canada's National Observer, and Them, (some of it from before they went viral), as well as by notable bloggers like Alan Cross and Eric Alper, are signed to Interscope and Republic Records, and have toured internationally with Lord Huron, Andy Shauf, and Helena Deland. Notability seems pretty secure at this point. Invisiboy42293 (talk) 00:30, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Also just want to state that though the John Prine fellowship is not a Grammy, it is still an immense honor, especially for Ross to be the first ever recipient. Newport Folk Festival is one of the oldest, most iconic festivals and music institutions in America and Prine was folk royalty. His sudden death, especially being from COVID at the beginning of the pandemic, was a tragedy to many legendary songwriters and industry decision-makers. To have Ross, who has only been putting music out since the pandemic started, be chosen as the recipient of the first fellowship in his name, on behalf of Newport, is a major feat! Just wanted to put this out there because I know many fellowships can be simpler in essence to achieve but this one truly demonstrates the faith industry titans have in Ross and their abilities. Elttaruuu (talk) 04:42, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Elttaruuu brings up a good point; the Newport Folk Festival isn't some small local thing, it's been running since 1959 and has hosted historic events like the Electric Dylan controversy and key early performances by Kris Kristofferson and James Taylor, and John Prine is widely regarded as one of the most influential and revered folk singer-songwriters of his generation. It's not the only point of notability here to be sure, but an artist being the first to receive an award of that pedigree before they've even released a full album is no small feat. Invisiboy42293 (talk) 21:06, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Generally awards of the significance we’re talking about merit their own page. This one isn’t even mentioned on the festival page. Innisfree987 (talk) 04:14, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- True, which is why I said it's not the only point of notability. For that I would point to substantial coverage in multiple RS sources, touring internationally with notable artists, and being signed to two major labels. Subject pretty solidly fulfills WP:BAND from where I'm sitting, especially for a newer TikTok artist. Invisiboy42293 (talk) 04:46, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- I’m still reviewing the overall coverage to make up my mind, but the award is not a point of notability at all. Also touring is not in and of itself important: only the extent to which there is non-trivial coverage of a tour, which the entry doesn’t offer. Label also does not go to wiki notability. Innisfree987 (talk) 04:57, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- I do see your point (I'd argue that being signed to Republic and Interscope is a big deal but granted that releasing a few singles on a major is not the same as releasing a full album with one). I think the coverage from National Observer, Clash, and Exclaim! count for a lot (and even the non-notable sources seem to largely be either notable bloggers or sites that at least have an editorial staff), but I recognize that simple album reviews and news of song releases are sometimes considered non-trivial. I'd argue the subject still has a fair amount of notability, and at most I would recommend moving to draftspace rather than deleting, as I suspect they will receive more substantial coverage with their album coming out. Invisiboy42293 (talk) 05:25, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- It’s also not on the folk fest page because it happened last year and as iconic and critical as so many events like these are to these festivals they have also become major money makers in the last couple of decades and are focused on devoting everything to upcoming profit. Red Line Roots, a prominent folk magazine, spoke about longtime director and producer of the festival introducing Leith personally to the crowd and getting emotional speaking about Prine’s impact and carrying that on through musicians like Leith Ross. http://www.redlineroots.com/2022/09/newport-2022/ Elttaruuu (talk) 05:03, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

- The extent to which any award makes its winners notable enough for Wikipedia articles by virtue of having won it is always strictly coterminous with the extent to which you can or cannot source their win to media coverage demonstrating that the award would pass WP:GNG in the first place. Awards that cannot be sourced to media coverage are not notable awards, and cannot make their winners notable for winning them. Bearcat (talk) 15:36, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- How is Rolling Stone and Red Line Roots not media coverage? Elttaruuu (talk) 17:47, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- Well, for starters, "Red Line Roots" is a WordPress blog, not a real or reliable media outlet, so it counts for absolutely nothing toward establishing the notability of anyone or anything. Secondly, at the time I initiated this discussion (and at the time I added this comment), the only source for the John Prine fellowship was also a blog entry on another unreliable blog that isn't a notability builder either. Rolling Stone is certainly a legitimate and usable source, but it wasn't in the article the last time I looked at it, and thus it's not my job to have known about a source that wasn't in the article yet. But overall, evaluating the sources that are in the article now, the balance of the footnoting is still tilted far too strongly onto bad sources that don't establish notability, like Red Line Roots and the All-Campus Radio Network and YouTube videos and glancing namechecks of Leith Ross's existence in sources that aren't about Leith Ross (e.g. a person isn't notable just because some other person says "I like their music" in an interview that's fundamentally about that other person, so the Allison Ponthier interview in Cosmopolitan is not helping to establish any notability). What's left for reliable source coverage that has Leith Ross as its subject simply doesn't add up to enough. Bearcat (talk) 13:37, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- From Rolling Stone:
- Leith Ross Carries On John Prine’s Legacy
- This year’s Newport kicked off in full force with a stunning Friday-morning opening from Leith Ross, the first-ever recipient of the festival’s John Prine Songwriter Fellowship. The Ottawa-raised singer-songwriter’s set of cry-laugh originals honored the late legend’s legacy in more ways than one, as they shared moving songs about family (“Understood”), hard-to-forget flames (“I’d Have to Think About It”), and a song about the melancholy of mortality disguised as an homage to Ross’ grandfather (“Tommy”). “Oh, what a terrible burden/These decisions of mine,” they sang on the latter, just one of many gut-punch lines from a singer who seems poised for a career full of many more of those to come.

- Please read WP:OSE. Innisfree987 (talk) 15:25, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- Michigan Daily has been removed as it’s student media at a school with no connection to Leith. I will continue to look through the others but as Bearcat says and I have pointed out to you previously, it’s really hard to suss out the case for notability when an entry has a large number of sources that are poor-quality or only passing mentions. Innisfree987 (talk) 15:27, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- Nearly every article here is entirely focused on the subject at hand, minus the festival articles because these magazines rarely cover individual artist sets when they have so much coverage to do of an event. Elttaruuu (talk) 15:31, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- I'm sorry to say I'm starting to see the arguments against. While it's true the subject has coverage from know reliable outlets, with the exception of maybe the National Observer article, most of them either aren't focused on Ross or are album reviews or short news updates about new singles, which don't usually count for non-trivial coverage since music sites do those for thousands of artists and they don't usually give much info about the artist.
- I do maintain that I think this article should be moved to draftspace rather than deleted wholesale, as I think the artist is likely to receive more coverage in the near future with an album coming out on a major label. But at least at present, I'm starting to see the arguments against notability. Invisiboy42293 (talk) 20:27, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

- Strong keep Ross has had lots of coverage in major publication (indeed I came here because they're featured as the main artist on NME.com). Perhaps there wasn't much coverage once upon a time, but I think it's one of the most obvious keeps I've see Cavie78 (talk) 23:22, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- The NME article is actually really helpful, since it's a non-trivial profile and not just routine coverage like an album review or news announcement. In fact, assuming we're also counting this National Observer article as non-trivial coverage (which I personally would, as their picture is at the top and it discusses their music and an album they helped organize in significant detail), that could be enough to satisfy WP:BAND? I think I might be changing my vote to keep. Invisiboy42293 (talk) 02:59, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

- Weak keep. I would not call this a particularly strong case (Cavie78, I see this is only the second AfD you’ve participated in since 2010–notability criteria have gotten a lot more stringent since then), but, definitely it’s improved with the NME profile.

The result was no consensus. The discussion fell along two main lines: one group felt that there was insufficient depth of coverage to support the BLP, the other noted the subject was name-checked in several reliable sources as an important political operative, and was notable. I don't see that either group was able to push through to gain consensus. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 03:50, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

BLP doesn't seem to meet WP:NBIO - lacks in-depth coverage. MrsSnoozyTurtle 10:22, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Passing mentions are not enough for WP:NBIO. Fad Ariff (talk) 12:10, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Reuben Solomon meets the notability guidelines for a BLP article, as he has been featured substantially in multiple articles from leading and reputable UK news sources. These articles provide significant coverage of Solomon, discussing his key roles and contributions in shaping digital strategies for influential political campaigns, and demonstrating his notability as an individual in the field of political communication. The available sources are reliable and independent, further supporting the stand-alone article on Reuben Solomon that adheres to notability standards. Typically, read the article entitled "Liz Truss v Rishi Sunak: Who's winning the social media war?", BBC, 23 July 2022, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-62238068. This reputable BBC article delves into the distinct differences between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak’s digital campaigns in their bid for Prime Minister. Reuben Solomon, who “runs Truss’ social team”, is focused on as leading and shaping her digital strategy as the article contrasts both digital campaigns, emphasizing the significance of digital media communication in modern political races. BLP certainly meets WP:NBIO.Didgeridoo2022 (talk 12:06, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

- keep/comment Well, I think all sources discusses the subject in enough depth accord with WP:BIO etc. For example, The Telegraph article examines key members of Liz Truss’s team, with a particular focus on Reuben Solomon. Similarly, before becoming a Special Adviser, he was covered by The Guardian, which exposed him as the person behind influential political advertising campaigns. This significant coverage generated a lot of interest on social media. And, The Byline Times article also covers him. Actually, I believe that in the UK he is notable due to the recent political events and involvement of social media in campaigns. B&W penguin (talk) 11:21, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. The sources' publications are generally reliable, however the mentions seem pretty slim and in-passing on my reading. I can't access The Telegraph article B&W Penguin refers to, but other Telegraph articles I can access barely mention him. The other sources on the page similarly briefly mention him at best. Similarly, The Guardian article refers to Solomon as one of the "individual[s] with the ability to place adverts" on a Facebook page, who "worked for Crosby", "is also connected to a page called We are the 52%" and is "listed as an administrator on at least a dozen other pro-Brexit pages". I don't see how this meets WP:ANYBIO? The BBC article Digeridoo refers to mentions Solomon once: "Liz Truss's social team, run by Reuben Solomon, former head of digital at the Conservative Party, and a protege of Boris Johnson's favourite election strategist Sir Lynton Crosby, have played it safer so far.". Again, I can't see this passing mention meeting WP:ANYBIO? I think this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Cabrils (talk) 23:20, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete He gets brief mentions in sources, but nothing in total to push him to WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 00:46, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Expanding on what I wrote earlier and for those who cannot access The Telegraph, here is a synopsis:
How Liz Truss snapped up the finest minds in wonkland to run her bid for No 10. The Telegraph - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/07/27/how-liz-truss-plundered-best-westminster-wonkland-take-rishi/ 27 July 2022 The Telegraph article examines key members of Liz Truss’s team, with a particular focus on Reuben Solomon, who occupies “one of the most critical roles” as the head of digital. This article prominently features a photo of Reuben Solomon. Controversial articles about digital campaigns. Facebook Brexit ads secretly run by staff of Lynton Crosby firm. The Guardian - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/apr/03/grassroots-facebook-brexit-ads-secretly-run-by-staff-of-lynton-crosby-firm Wed 3 Apr 2019 The Guardian’s article highlights Reuben Solomon as a central figure in discreetly orchestrating “hugely influential” pro-Brexit Facebook advertising campaigns. It discloses Solomon’s significant role in managing influential groups that together spent up to £1 million on targeted advertising. This article garnered substantial attention on social media in 2019 and has been cited by The Guardian on multiple times, including here and as recently as last year. Content Creating Over Policy Making: The Next Instagram Prime Minister. Byline Times - https://bylinetimes.com/2022/07/28/content-creating-over-policy-making-the-next-instagram-prime-minister/ 28 July 2022 The Byline Times article emphasizes the growing importance of branding and social media presence over policy in the leadership race, underscoring Reuben Solomon’s crucial role in Truss’s campaign, managing her social media strategy. As both candidates focus on their online presence and catchy slogans, the article implies that they might prioritize content creation over policy making. So we have more than just “passing mentions” and therefore the article does meet WP:BIO. This also refutes that this is a case of WP:TOOSOON which states “If sources do not exist, it is generally too soon for an article on that topic to be considered.”Didgeridoo2022 talk 01:06, 4 Apr 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Aoidh (talk) 05:59, 6 April 2023 (UTC)- Keep. I'm in general agreement with what B&W Penguin says above and most of what Didgeridoo2022 says. The media mentions about Solomon do mean he is notable enough to justify WP:BIO in my opinion, however, I do think at times the article erred away from neutrality in it's tone with reference to some of the points such as Solomon's nickname of 'Social Media Wizard'. I have trimmed the article myself to address this and believe it now reads much more as a neutral article. As said previously, my opinion is that the article is justified due to Solomon's various roles with the UK government and his mentions in the media. Nmill8093 (talk) 14:11, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
This Wikipedia article is well-sourced and meets WP:NBIO. In addition to the previously mentioned sources, Reuben Solomon has been featured in multiple other respected publications. Before Liz Truss became Prime Minister, The Times, a respected national newspaper in Britain, highlighted Reuben Solomon in the article “Liz Truss’s blueprint for her first month as prime minister.” (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/liz-trusss-blueprint-for-her-first-month-as-prime-minister-hlggwh27x). Under the heading “Appointing the big beasts” the article identifies him as Truss’s ‘social media wizard’ at the Foreign Office “credited with keeping her profile as slick as her competitor’s, is in line to become the head of digital.” Then when she did become Prime Minister, Politico (a leading political news outlet) published an article titled “How Liz Truss did it,” (https://www.politico.eu/article/how-liz-truss-did-it/) which highlighted him as a key adviser assembled on her campaign team throughout the summer. Two articles in PR Week, (a leading publication in the PR industry) also covered him in the context of Truss’s senior team. In the article, the director of WPI (a political strategy firm) stated that “Her Downing Street team will undoubtedly include a top-class digital operator, likely Reuben Solomon, who will ensure she continues to communicate directly with the electorate” (https://www.prweek.com/article/1798063/liz-truss-plan-no-10-comms) while another article described Solomon's role as the person “in charge” of managing the Prime Minister's social media presence. (https://www.prweek.com/article/1798129/team-truss-taking-shape-raft-comms-hires). In a separate search, I found additional coverage of Reuben Solomon: “Spads, super-strategists and secret weapons — meet the real stars behind the Tory leadership campaigns.” from The Evening Standard, a widely read, London-based newspaper. This article provides an in-depth look at the key players involved in the Conservative Party leadership campaigns. It highlights the various experts, advisers, and strategists who have played a crucial role in shaping the campaigns and includes Solomon under the sub-heading “The Instagram experts”, highlighting him as the former CCHQ head of digital, and considered to be the man behind her social media successes. (https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/conservative-leadership-race-campaign-teams-social-media-comms-special-advisors-lizz-truss-rishi-sunak-b1013495.html). By the way, MrsSnoozyTurtle, his surname is Solomon, not Soloman.Didgeridoo2022 (talk) 00:16, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Keep. To reiterate, Reuben Solomon has been featured in multiple major and respected publications such as The BBC, The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Evening Standard, Politico and PR Week, which highlight his significant, widely recognized and occasionally controversial contributions to the political and digital spheres in the United Kingdom.
The coverage in these reputable sources aligns completely with Wikipedia's notability guidelines for biographies, specifically WP:NBIO, which requires “significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.” Given the numerous reliable and independent sources acknowledging his prominence in political advisory and digital media strategy, Reuben Solomon clearly meets the criteria for a standalone Wikipedia article, and as such, the article should be retained.Didgeridoo2022 (talk) 02:37, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
Comment I think everyone agrees that he is mentioned and is in Media. Obviously, if someone is notable is in media and especially all reliable sources. This is in the UK only therefore it's like this because in UK politics he is notable.B&W penguin (talk) 09:46, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Comment . This has gone on long enough. One could even question the motives of the original AfD. There are so many articles on Wikipedia similar to this one that don't get the same attention. Why was this one singled out? There are many references in this discussion that repudiate the latest contribution. Using words like "the fellow is (was?)" , "name appears from time to time", "None of the articles are about him, one may hint at him", "the remainder are mentions in articles about someone or something else" are just not true!

- Speedy Keep There are several things that make this nomination wrong:
- Numbered list item
- The nomination fails WP:NEXIST where that the basis seems to be based on the current sourcing in the article rather than how it could be improved.
- The individual groups easily pass GNG with recent media coverage such at this and this.
- Having a separate AFD for each group is a waste of everyone's time. There should be one AFD following WP:MULTIAFD.
- This is a bog-standard sub-page of 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup, that we all know will exist when the tournament starts - only 8 weeks until the group stage - and 6 or so until the preliminaries.
- The same page for an equivalent tournament - 2019 Copa América Group A was created 5 months ahead of time. I'm sure I could find even earlier. Sure, OTHERSTUFF - but this is utterly routine. Good grief, if one really feels strongly, nominate one, and see how it goes.
- User:onel5969 has made several other recent FOOTY AFDs that are snowing keep, and are just absurd - such as 2023–24 EFL League One and even the top Italian league at 2023–24 Serie A (which has just been closed as a SNOW KEEP by User:Jkudlick with an admonishment to the creator.

Possibly violates WP:LISTN and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. There are only two sources in the article, and both are routine data collections. From looking at a Google search, there doesn't seem to be much non-routine coverage of the most followed Twitch channels from secondary sources.

- Gnomingstuff (talk) 18:52, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep listing the most popular of anything and linking to their articles, is a valid navigational list. Every article for a movie, album, game, etc, list the sales figures, and this information is outdated weekly the first months after it comes out. The infoboxes for business list a company's revenue, that information outdated every month. Being outdated is not a valid reason to delete information, and certainly not an entire list. You list when the last time the information was updated at the top, and its fine. Dream Focus 21:31, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Not indiscriminate for Wikipedia to keep—it lists the top 50 (not say, 500), so has a focus and a purpose. "Requires undue effort to keep updated", "nigh impossible to maintain"—it's not hard to keep maintained at all. There are editors who will come along and do this, and per Dream Focus above, it has a date for when it was last updated anyway. The sourcing could be better, but I don't see that as a reason to delete here because what are the most-followed Twitch channels do get news coverage, so I believe the sources are out there.

- Keep - I'll disagree that this is too hard to maintain (or that "it's too hard to maintain [a list of 50]") is a good reason to delete. Just create a standard for the page to, say, update it once a month or something. There are plenty of easy editorial decisions to manage it, and plenty of other similar lists. Meanwhile, it's a list of the most popular accounts on the most popular streaming platform in the world, so of course there are sources to meet NLIST (just on the first page of google results there's Sports Illustrated, USA Today, GameRant, Forbes India, Espots News, The Loadout, and Insider. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:44, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

- Keep: The list being "unmaintainable" is not only surmountable per WP:OUTDATED but it also describes almost all Wikipedia articles, since most things, people, and places with Wikipedia articles and/or our knowledge of them are changing constantly; the whole point is that editors are expected to update them if they so choose, and, based on the consistent updates to lists of the same ilk, the fear of this being "unmaintainable" is baseless. Per Rhododendrites, it passes WP:LISTN. benǝʇᴉɯ 15:00, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

- Strong Keep WP:COMMONSENSE Useful list that receives over 30,000 monthly views. None of the arguments rely on policy and lists like this (most-followed Instagram accounts, most subscribed YouTube channels.. etc.) exist and should not be deleted because they are "hard to maintain". As for the notability question, here are a bunch of reliable sources showing interest in the most-followed Twitch channels: NME BBC, New Yorker. If anyone wanted to illustrate how out of touch Wikipedia editors are, this deletion discussion would be perfect. Cheers! :Célestin Denis (talk) 18:52, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- The "Lists like this" part of your argument is WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and I do not believe anyone wants to update this, leaving it practically useless. Pageviews are also not a valid argument for keeping an article. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:26, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per Rhododendrites. It's not that hard to keep up to date, and more generally, it doesn't even need to be - we cover stuff like old census data or what critics thought the best movies of 1976 are. Think WP:10YEARTEST - would it be reasonable to cover the hottest social media trends of 2013? Absolutely, see stuff like Harlem Shake (meme). So even if this list goes out of date, it may still be worthwhile. Twitch streamers & Twitch are certainly newsworthy & notable enough. SnowFire (talk) 01:59, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

- Keep The article is a useful jumping off point for readers who are interested in learning more about streamers on Twitch. I think this is unique in that Streaming can be a little complicated if you have no idea or frame of reference about it. There are numerous other lists which have shown to be at least somewhat useful and have not been removed, this list is also at least that useful. I've gone though and added sources to support the list. One problem I saw was streamers who are listed there but don't have an article about them here. For almost all of those cases I found sources to support who they were, their name, and that they steam on Twitch. I was able to find newspaper articles to support some of the streamers which I found valuable. To bring this list in line with the general style of other similar lists I added a column for county. In cases where the streamer moved/moves between two places I added a source to support that. This was a lot harder for the last few entries on the list and I wouldn't oppose cutting that number down a bit. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 08:00, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

At the start of this AfD this page had two sources, it now has eighty five. As a result I'm not going to go over every source but I'll go over the "best", the "worst", generally good sources, and some important articles.. I identified these sources using the CiteHighlighter script by Novem Linguae, WikiProject Video games, New page patrol source guide, Newspaper of record, and WP:RSP. Since this is a list the sources are almost all used to just verify a fact such as a streamers name, the game they play, and their location. A few explain what twitch is, and a couple explain why a streamer is no longer streaming on Twitch. This might not be complete, there might be mistakes, I did my best.

The streamer that this is used for is Harley Fresh (Fresh), he is low on the list ranked 45th most followed on Twitch. The combination of being low on the list and located in Australia result in him not having a lot of press coverage. If he were located in Europe or the Americas this would not have been a problem. Twitter should never be used for any claim of a third party person and this tweet came from Fresh and was about himself.

Here is how I'm seeing things and if I'm wrong or off base please let me know, I promise I'm not being a jerk or am being sarcastic. According to the sources in the article the list is notable based on multiple sources including newspaper articles, peer reviewed journal articles, and online news providers. Because the topic is notable everyone that is listed in the article does not have to be independently notable. At least that's what I think it says in WP:LISTN.
- I get that the topic of "lists of most XYZ" is a polarizing topic in AfD. It's one of the more interesting aspects of consensus in AfD, since we have to do these sort of articles on a case by case basis you get a patchwork of decisions. I've noticed some push back at AfD when articles are nominated here that cover streamers. It's a topic that is a little newer and harder to always establish notability for reliable sources, trust me I just hunted for sources for this article and it wasn't super easy.
- Lets just go over some of the "lists of most XYZ" that have been in AfD.
- List of most prolific porn stars Delete
- Was deleted due to not really having a useable definition of "most prolific"
- List of most-played video games by player count Delete
- Was deleted due to the list trying to make an apples to oranges comparison for different games
- List of most-streamed songs on Spotify Keep
- Noted that the list was useful and good content that people wanted to see ~169,000 views last 30 days
- List of most-subscribed YouTube channels Speedy Keep
- Widespread coverage of the topic ~278,000 views last 30 days
- List of most-subscribed YouTube channels (2nd nomination) Speedy Keep
- Nominator didn't WP:BEFORE
- List of most-viewed YouTube channels Keep
- Keep as topix was deemed notable ~33,000 views last 30 days
- List of most-viewed YouTube channels (2nd nomination) Keep
- Article deemed notable and to pass WP:LISTN
- List of most-followed Twitter accounts No consensus
- Similar arguments for delete that we see here that the list will fluctuate and that Wikipedia isn't a list of statistics ~ 82,000 views per 30 days
- List of most-followed Twitter accounts (2nd nomination) Keep
- List deemed reliable and important as the topic of most followed people on twitter was notable, list passes WP:LISTN.
- List of most-retweeted tweets No consensus
- List of most-retweeted tweets (2nd nomination) Keep
- Passes WP:LISTN article is not WP:NOTSTATS
- List of most prolific porn stars Delete
- So lets ask some questions about this article
- Does List of most-followed Twitch channels pass WP:LISTN?
- Yes, we have multiple sources which would pass WP:GNG that make note of the importance that this has in the general public. Multiple types of sources, in depth reporting over a long period of time, and across multiple languages and cultures all support this list as being notable.
- Does the fluctuating nature of the List of most-followed Twitch channels article raise a concern about it's maintenance or notability?
- No, lists of things change we have already established that both most-subscribed and most-viewed YouTube channels are notable even in the face of fluctuating numbers. WP:UPTODAT isn't a good argument here, this is Wikipedia if something is out of date just fix it. If this is a serious issue that the community is concerned with we can just ask for someone to write a bot to update it every now and then.
- Does the List of most-followed Twitch channels article have a standard metric for establishing most-followed?
- Yes, unlike in the AfD for List of most prolific porn stars we have a metric which is quantifiable, stable, and verifiable. Just like YouTube.
- Does the List of most-followed Twitch channels article compare followers across different platforms or groupings?
- No, unlike in the AfD for List of most played video games by player count we see that the list is only listing followers from one platform where a follower is equal for all streamers on the platform. In practice this means that the value of one follower is always one follower, being a paying follower does not give that streamer ten followers etc.
- Does List of most-followed Twitch channels pass WP:LISTN?
- That's at least how I'm seeing this AfD and article. I see a lot of parallels with the AfDs for the YouTube and Twitter lists. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 23:32, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: WP:ILIKEIT and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS don't work. Not every Twitch channel can pass the notability. CastJared (talk) 15:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- In WP:LISTN it says lays it down fairly clearly that "Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable..." so just because some of the entries on the list would not have enough sources to be notable does not make the list not notable.
- Let's use a few examples to establish that this list is notable and lets not use the sources that are in the article. Here are two that I liked from Newspapers.com an article in the Ottawa Citizen talking about some of the top chess streamers on Twitch and a local paper talking about the top streamers in North Carolina. Both articles talk about followers and that in their niche (Chess, North Carolina) they are the top streamers. The topic of "List of most-followed Twitch channels" is notable and subdividing into smaller groups will most likely also be notable. I know that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS isn't a good argument, in my previous post I was pointing out the evolution of lists like this where the first time similar lists are brought to AfD they don't hit consensus and then later at another AfD they are kept. WP:ILIKEIT or WP:IDONTLIKEIT are both irrelevant, based on the notability guidelines and sources provided the list holds up on it's own.

Has anyone here actually evaluated the multiple sources provided which give significant coverage to the topic "as a group or set" before expressing this argument that it fails WP:NLIST? Seems most of the people voting delete here have yet to do a thorough examination of the sources Dr. Vulpes cited, and are still claiming that the keep votes are merely voting so because "they like it" or "other stuff exists". So far I have yet to see anyone actually refute that the sources provided aren't reliable and/or significant enough to make this topic pass the guidelines. 2601:645:C57F:FD80:E825:8167:505A:397 (talk) 18:30, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Facepalm - WP:ILIKEIT and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS doesn't work. Agreed. CastJared (talk) 14:17, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. WP:NLIST is well satisfied here. The concept of Twitch streamers and their number of followers clearly generate coverage and the WP:LSC appears to currently be the top 50 streamers which is unambiguous and suggests to me we don't need to be concerned with the notability of each individual streamer in the list. I don't think Dr. vulpes's analysis of previous similar AfDs is OSE in this case, since it's specifically looking at past AfDs for conceptually similar pages to see if there's broad consensus to keep pages like this, which it seems like there is. I think there are some issues with the page itself (linking to Twitch instead of Wikipedia pages in the table's first column, including people who no longer have Twitch channels which would seem like a disqualifier, etc), but the article is worth having. Dylnuge (Talk • Edits) 15:52, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Weak Keep and I'm not particularly thrilled to be here as this doesn't feel encyclopedic to me. But that's IDON'TLIKEIT; the sourcing is perfectly fine to support the relative rankings on the list members, and there are ample references to "one of the most popular channels on Twitch" as noted above, so I don't think NLIST is implicated. It legitimately can function as a navigational aid, so usefulness is a perfectly reasonable argument. Unless we uncover some good reason to believe Twitch is playing fast and loose with follower counts, and until we reach a sitewide consensus through an RfC on how to handle all of these types of lists, I think this one can stay.Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 03:34, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Here are the first few results of a quick web search: [20][21][22][23][24][25]. None are perfect, however it is enough to suggest to me that the topic has sufficient coverage. However, I am open to changing my !vote (or finding more sources, since these were just the first few) if most of these are found to be unreliable. MrsSnoozyTurtle 12:21, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

I redirected a version of this article two days ago [26], and left a message for the creator User:Dhiego Allvez. They didn't seem to understand what my point was or that the articles they create should meet WP:NALBUMS. While the group who made it is barely notable in English-speaking markets (most of their coverage, last I looked several years back when multiple editors including myself redirected most of their single articles, appears to be from Brazilian pop music blogs), I can find no worthwhile coverage of this album. Its two sources at present are Apple Music and some sort of NFT/blockchain community the album was originally released on. Plainly not notable. Ss112 14:08, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

I found this article which explains the NFT connection, but that's all, and that article looks like an opinion piece with an explicit conflict of interest disclosure so I wouldn't necessarily call it definitely reliable.

This article contains information that cannot be found on Isola and the song reached #22 in the Swedish charts. If the problem is that is reached #22, how about, for example, this R.E.M. single "Oh My Heart" which reached #37 as the highest. Slagmannen924 (talk) 13:28, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Funnily enough, despite it being a blatant WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument, it is possible that you have a point and "Oh My Heart" is also non-notable despite charting in multiple countries. Someone should look into that. The problem, though, is that the closest thing to valuable information here which isn't charting is that Hayley Williams likes the song. That's pretty trivial all told, but if you really want to then that can easily be added to Isola, as can the chart. This song, on the other hand, seems very limited in coverage. Unless any of these four sources [27][28][29][30] (all behind paywalls) contain more than passing mentions then I can't find anything and this is an easy redirect to Isola. I've asked on WP:DISCORD for assistance and will update if anything comes through, but in the meantime this can be redirected anyway and restored later if anything else comes up. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 12:32, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

No secondary independent sources found in BEFORE check. Being involved with Aromantic Week does not confer/inherit notability to the organization itself. I am incredibly sympathetic to this orgs' cause, but see this as case of WP:TOOSOON. Worth reading WP:ADVOCACY too. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:09, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organizations and Sexuality and gender. Shellwood (talk) 12:35, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- KEEP: The organization is the face of Aromanticism (the A in LGBTQIA+, alongside asexual and agender) to the general public.
- There are a series of books (1 2 3 4 5 that have been published recently (many within the last few months) that all reference to AUREA for information on Aromanticism. Thanks to your prompt I also realized the ommission that the organization was approached by Jessica Kingsley Publishers to commission a book about aromanticism, which is in the works (I've added a note to the effect to the article now).
- They have also been cited in more recent scientific journals such as this recent journal article published in the Journal of Lesbian Studies,[1] which highlights that Aromanticism is "Too often dismissively framed as "new" identities arising out of nowhere".
- This information being more widely available has been a significant factor to combat LGBT erasure#Aromantic erasure that happens around it and AUREA has been at the center of it.
- On the news front, there are some (few yet, I give you that) secondary independent sources, such as an article in the Cosmopolitan and Seventeen magazine.
- There are also various psychology help sites that point to AUREA for more information on aromanticism such as psychcentral.com and many interviews internationally pointing there such as SWLondoner or newsweek and LGBTQIA+ organizations such as PFLAG, Seattle Pride and various university LGBTQ organizations all pointing to AUREA for resources on Aromanticism such as pflag.org, Seattle Pride or Oxford University LGBTQ+ Society.
- They are also not just involved with Aromantic Spectrum Awareness week, they are the leading organizer. I've updated the article to make this more clear and in lieu of ASAW being its own article, but already recognized and with WP:LASTING effect for the aromantic community in LGBTQIA+ awareness and inclusion, I've made it a main section on the article until someone may decide in the future to WP:SPLIT it out into its own article.
- I believe all of this amounts to enough WP:SIGCOV to meet WP:GNG. Raladic (talk) 17:07, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- A couple more international online media/magazines I found referencing the organization: Women's Health Magazine, Psychology Today, Magdalene from Indonesia, Diva from Slovakia, Philippine Daily Inquirer.
- These references, along with the ones I already outlined above all refer to the organization as the sourcing/referencing about aromanticism, it's not just a mere trivial mention and under WP:SIGCOV, it doesn't need to be the main topic of the source material.
- And refuting the point of Walt Yoder below, WP:ARTICLEAGE is an invalid argument to make in AfD and the article is written neutrally with all texts cited and referenced and not promotional, which in any case would be addressed through copy-editing, not deletion.
- So just because a topic is newer and may be a minority point, doesn't mean that it is not notable perWP:WNIN. This is something which WP:PRIDE and WP:CSB tries to address to overcome the limited WP:WORLDVIEW around minority topics and the Wikimedia foundation specifically called out to promote inclusion on Wikipedia. Raladic (talk) 02:32, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - since it doesn't look like there's a clear consensus, but the suggestion from two users below to merge it into Aromanticism.
- If the reviewing admin comes to that conclusion rather than keep based on the sources I've found above, the I'd like to request the outcome be merge and redirect per WP:INSTEAD please. Raladic (talk) 05:32, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Sourcing is primary or related to the organization. The books mentioned appear to be related to them, being mentioned by Seattle Pride doesn't make them notable. Cosmopolitan is a start, but coverage is trivial. Being a lead organizer of the Awareness Week is a primary source. There is no SIGCOV of the organization, so we can't establish notability.

- Delete Add some info to the Aromanticism article if it fits in. There isn't enough about this organization (yet) for an encyclopedia page. I can't tell if the organization is formally incorporated (no mention of that) and it looks like the organization does not have staff, only volunteers.

- Just to clarify, you mean your recommendation vote is to merge and redirect (WP:ATD-R) to Aromanticism instead, not delete yes? Raladic (talk) 05:25, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not sure there is enough info for a merge. The Aromanticism article has a sentence that lists this organization, but that sentence has no cite. I'm not yet convinced that there are sufficient sources to justify naming this organization in that article. A reliable third-party cite would be needed and i don't see one. So I'm still going with delete. The organization would best be listed as an external source on the Aromanticism page, since there are no possible citations. And we don't usually do redirects for external sources. Lamona (talk) 16:48, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- I have added the relevant citations that I sourced above in the AfD discussion to the Aromanticism page now.
- I do find it a bit curious that no one in this AfD discussion has actually addressed the many additional sources I have found and linked above and just decided to ignore them as if they didn't exist.
- They do exist, but at best they are mentions in articles about aromanticism, and some of the sources cited do not mention the organization at all. It takes more than just proving the existence of the organization - there have to be independent significant sources that are primarily about it. Those may come in the future but they are not here today. Also, one of those sources you added affirms that this is a volunteer organization, which is possibly a good start but may need to become more stable before it has the kind of impact that would produce sources. Lamona (talk) 15:44, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Some of them are secondary independent, like the Cosmopolitan article as User:Oaktree b conceded above and I believe also the international articles I found later on and the peer-reviewed Journal article that cites them for the history on Aromanticism and yes, some may be more primary but per WP:PRIMARY, they are allowed (as long as not used solely for the information, which I have not done here) if they state a fact that can be verified by an educated person with access to the source, which this is a case for.

Perennially unsourced WP:BLP. The only vaguely reliable source I could find in a WP:BEFORE is this The Union story that I'm having trouble accessing, but even if it was excellent and detailed, one source is not sufficient for WP:GNG/WP:NBASIC. Google books doesn't show anything useful at least in the first pages.
Various (self-authored?) bios describe him as grammy awardee etc., but I can't substantiate these claims to any reliable source and suspect the claimed awards were not for him, specifically, but rather some affiliated person/group/project. I thus don't think WP:ANYBIO#1 is met.
The relevant SNG is WP:NMUSIC, which states at WP:BANDMEMBER: Members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability.
. WP:BANDMEMBER states articles such as this should be redirected, but I'm not seeing an obvious target. WP:NCOMPOSER similarly states that composers or lyricists with insufficient verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article should be merged into the article about their work

The result was delete. The opinions here are generally based in policy, and there is clearly good-faith disagreement over whether the provided sources constitute SIGCOV.

Walt Yoder (talk) 00:58, 23 April 2023 (UTC) - Delete - While local sources on local places are fine for verifiability, its highly debatable on whether they, by themselves, would be sufficient to pass the WP:GNG. But, I'd say that's besides the point in this case, because the sources would not be sufficient for passing the WP:GNG regardless. The one article from the college paper that is actually entirely about the establishment is, as stated by the nom, a promotional puff piece where the majority of the article is just quotes from the owner themselves talking about it in a promotional manner. The rest of the linked sources are generally just shorter versions of the same - either promotional pieces consisting of quotes from the owners, or general "this place will be opening soon" mentions that would not count as significant coverage.

There is enough the sourcing to correct the promotion spin, which does make this feel like a puff piece. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 00:58, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - I am totally unsatisfied that the coverage located by editors constitutes anything significant. The coverage provided is not sufficient as it does not address the topic directly and in detail. Short bursts of coverage which are really about board game cafes rather than this business specifically are not sufficient in my view. The references that do go into some detail are more routine announcements than anything meeting WP:SIGCOV. This is hardly the most egregious lack of coverage for an article, that's for sure. However it is at best a borderline keep. On balance I think deletion is appropriate. MaxnaCarta (talk) 02:15, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

The organisation does not meet the relevant notability criteria: it is not inherently notable (WP:ORGSIG), and the coverage (or lack thereof) in reliable sources fails the criteria at WP:SIRS. There is only one source provided in the article, and coverage in that is far from significant (see WP:ORGDEPTH), since the PYO is only ever mentioned in passing. I have not been able to attribute any notable activities or events to the group, so I would argue it is safe to say that the scope of their activities was minimal.

- Keep - this is not a difficult case, and WP:BEFORE doesn't seem to have been performed well here. The Sholaye movement had significant impact on Afghan politics and society, and is amply covered in academic literature. Here is a book wholly dedicated to the Sholaye movement, [35], with an edition in Italian as well. A few additional examples of how the group is covered in literature,
- "The youth wing of Sho'la-yi Jawed, known as Sazman-i Jawanan-i Mutarraqi, the Progressive Youth Organization, was noted for its militancy and between 1963 and 1973 its members clashed violently with Islamists, pdpa supporters and state security organs."[1]
- ""During a bitter ideological debate that arose between the Islamists and supporters of the pro-Beijing Sazman-e-Javana-e-Mutarqi (Progressive Youth Organization) known as Shula-e-Javid (Eternal Flame) on the campus of Kabul University in June 1972 , a bloody fight broke out which resulted in the death of Saidal Sukhandan , a well known member of the organization , and the injury of numerous others ."[2]
- "Sazman - e - Demokratik- e - Nawin , the Neo - Democratic Organization of Afghanistan ( NDOA ) , was also founded in 1965. The organization stressed class struggle and revolu- tionary armed uprising as a means of ending class oppression and building a socialist society. A great number of women of both white- and blue - collar backgrounds supported the organization , and some even became active members."[3]
- "Sazman - e - Jawanan - e - Mutaraqi , the Progressive Youth Organization or PYO that split into several factions in the mid - 1970s ( Akhgar , Paikar , Khurasan , Sazman - e - Azadi Bakhsh - e - Mardum - e - Afghanistan , People's Liberation Organization or SAMA , Sazman - e - Azadi - e - Afghanistan , Afghanistan Liberation Organization or ALO , and others ) advocated revolu- tionary armed struggle as the only means to bring fundamental political..."[4]
- "...which was followed by formation of the Progressive Youth Organization (PYO), popularly known as Sholay-i Jawid, a year later. These two organisations became fierce rivals as proponents of the Soviet- and Chinese-style communisms in the country. From the outset, the PYO included a number included a number of prominent Hazaras in its leadership, placing it in a superior position in recruitment of Hazara intelligentsia."[5] --Soman (talk) 02:39, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

This article has sources, but the encyclopedic value about documenting 200 people in a country of 214 million, and also stemming from a country with 100+ million inhabitants, it is incomprehensible to me. Three academic tutors are not the basis of an article either. The sources towards the end of the article largely support trivial information about food or a business venture that doesn't warrant its own article, together with a lack of something to make a dent in Brazilian society or the Vietnamese diaspora as a whole.

This important guideline is brought in the source in bold so will not miss it, yet overlooked in many nominations. Looking for potential sources, as NEXIST and BEFORE prescribe, it is clear that the Moto Guzzi Quota does pass the WP:GNG, as this motorcycle was reviewed by motor magazines around the world and has its own entry in several books. gidonb (talk) 15:20, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep This is a very poor nomination by User:onel5969. They have been here long enough to know that seasons for the biggest leagues in the world are notable. Not only that, but that even articles for each team in the biggest league in the world are notable. They should also be aware that selection of teams for the season is already well underway. Typically this article is created in early March this year. It's clear that no proper BEFORE was done, as there are ample sources out there. The argument that this is too soon, given we are long past when the article is usually created.

Foreign language sources aren't easiest to search if you don't know where to look, and stuff from 20 years ago even harder. All I found was a Newsbank article (“Spin Doctor.” The Economic Times, 2002.) that mentioned both of these awards. Going to look for more sources but I'd probably lean keep.

This article has existed in articlespace since 2012. In 2023, the problems with its unreferenced content, adverted to multiple times, have remained. In my opinion, once that content were stripped away, we would find that this article is verifiably about a veterinarian from The Philippines who is active in philanthropic work, particularly as a Rotarian. What we would not find is that a Wikipedia article that meets any number of tests for notability, starting with the General notability guideline and including but not limited to WP:NBIO. Given the article's 11 year existence on en.wp, it would appear to me that this article should be tested at a deletion discussion. That said, I would have no objection to a WP:G11 outcome. As always, more than happy to be proven wrong. Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:02, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

DeleteRedirect to List of Mumbai Metro stations. Insufficient coverage to meet GNG. Before the zombie argument that all train stations are notable is made (always seems to crop up without evidence): Per WP:NTRAINSTATION, train stations have no inherent notability and are not presumed notable for simply being train stations, but may be notable if they satisfy the WP:GNG criteria, the criteria of another subject-specific notability guideline, or the criteria of a different section of the notability guideline. As GNG is not satisfied, deletion is appropriate.

- As far as I can see, this is incorrect. Other stations on that line redirect to List of Mumbai Metro stations, see Prem Nagar and Indira Nagar (Vile Parle). Though, now I point this out I will change my !vote to redirect as ATD. MaxnaCarta (talk) 23:02, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Although I created the entry, upon relfection this subject doesn't really meet WP:ENT because their productions were just amateur dramatics productions staged in a local theatre with an amateur cast. They've managed to drum up a bit of coverage in their local press, but nothing that could satisfy say C3 of WP:CREATIVE because that's symbiotic with general notability. Furthermore, her academic chairs don't satisfy anything approaching WP:NACADEMIC and the verification for on-campus postings is actually quite shakey. Obviously, WP:GNG is a far cry here becuase the sources focus entirly on these local theatre productions. Eichhornia Crassipes (talk) 08:38, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

WP:SPORTBASIC clearly states that Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. which is not the case here.

- Hello, I apologize for my untimely response to this discussion. In regards to your issue with the article concerning the general notability guideline I think this article actually meets the standard. The sources provided are independent and are from publications which are known for fact checking. The only issue that it might pose for notability may be in the issue of the subject having significant coverage. Individually the sources on their own do not give in-depth coverage of the subject however, Wikipedia biography (WP:BIO) says that multiple independent sources can be put together to demonstrate notability, which I feel was demonstrated in the article.

- Delete - I agree with Lady Lotus's analysis of the sources. Yes, there are a lot, but the vast majority relate to Bongiovi's relationships to his fiancee or father, and notability is not inhereited. The sources relating to his role in an upcoming film are not sufficient to demonstrate that he meets WP:NACTOR; at best this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Without the early life and personal life material, all that this article says about Bongiovi is that he may appear in two as yet unreleased films. The point of WP:GNG is to ensure that sufficient encyclopedic material can be written about the subject of an article; an article which consists largely of personal information is not encycopedic.

I can't find sourcing for this person, the sources used appear typical celebrity fluff pieces using Gtranslate. Not meeting GNG, likely PROMO. Oaktree b (talk) 04:46, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
::Keep : Nominator says, he can't finding sourcing for the subject and he says the sources are fluff pieces using gtranslate ? and says doesn't meet GNG. Here are the reasons why its wrong and the article should be kept.
Reply to each section :
"Can find sources" - There are around 6 unique big length article all from reliable and independent secondary news sources all from reliable and reputed newspapers and magazines like International Business Times, Malayala Manorama, Vanitha, Onmanorama, Mathrubhumi etc talking about the subject. So it's irrelevant to tell that "can't find sources".
"Sources are not fluff pieces with and without using gtranslate" - There are 3 english news articles all detailed articles and secondary news sources, one from International Business Times and two from Onmanorama which doesn't need any Gtranslate and 3 other Malayalam detailed article secondary sources from Malayala Manorama, Vanitha and Mathrubhumi, all written by journalists as listed in these article and this detailed articles are no way fluff pieces.
"Meets GNG" - The International Business Times article https://www.ibtimes.co.in/kerala-showing-hesitance-accept-lgbt-community-says-top-makeup-artist-840767 is a detailed featured secondary news article about the subject , talking only about him in detail, similar is the case with 2 Onmanorama articles and additionally there are 3 very detailed and featured article secondary sources from Malayala Manorama, Vanitha and Mathrubhumi which makes the article pass GNG .
"Not PROMO" - The news references listed from International Business Times is written by journalist named Nirmal Narayanan . 2 Onmanorama articles are written by journalists Anagha Jayan E and Padmakumar K respectively. The Malayala Manorama article is written by journalist Deepthi Pellishery, The Mathrubhumi article is a special feature . Which proves that this is definetly not promo.

- Comment. I restored some text that 122Monaro (talk · contribs · count) had removed. The article now has one reference from a reliable source, a newspaper in Bangladesh. More references can probably be found. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:49, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Diplomats are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and get to have articles only if they can actually be shown to pass WP:GNG on their sourceability — but this is referenced mainly to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and what's left for proper media coverage about him and his work isn't sufficient. And we also don't keep articles just because somebody speculates that better sourcing might exist somewhere that nobody has actually found, either — you have to show hard evidence that sufficient GNG-worthy sourcing definitively exists before WP:NEXIST is allowed to derail a deletion discussion.

DeleteRedirect Agree with WP:TOOSOON also fails WP:GNG. I found sources for this but they are all about the race happening in the future. I would also support sending to draft since according to 2022–23_CAF_Champions_League the race is happening in June. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 03:39, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Not every TV episode needs an article, especially one that there are no RS reviews for. This TV series doesn't have an individual article for every episode, so that arguement for inclusion is invalid. In addition, the plot is already covered in the article on the show.

- Redirect per above. There is no reception or analysis section, which is a flash test for minimum that is required to even consider keeping such articles. PS. The same is true for all Category:SeaQuest DSV episodes. I've PRODed two that were completely unreferenced, and I suggest bold redirection for all remaining ones once this AfD is closed as redirect, which I expect will happen shortly. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:51, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

- Keep With two episode-specific reviews from respectable sources in the Critical Reception section, and additional ratings information, it seems like the multiple sources needed to satisfy Notability requirements are met. It'd be nice if the reviews were used to provide more than a letter/number grade with some quotes, though. It seems like the nomination missed the non-plot section, but it's so small, I could see why. WikiPete18 (talk) 20:34, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect The two reviews are pretty weak; per WP:NFSOURCES—which is easily applicable here too—we should avoid
plot summaries without critical commentary
as evidence of notability. The AV Club reviewer calls his review a blog, and both of them seem more concerned with recording updates to the plot, rather than making critical commentary of any depth. The amount that could be drawn from the two reviews to add to an article would be of more value in the context of the season anyway, rather than keeping a whole article for the episode. — HTGS (talk) 22:27, 26 April 2023 (UTC) - Redirect to List of Heroes episodes where it already has an entry. Unneeded CFORK, Fails GNG, routine entertainment synops do not demonstrate notability. I looks like articles are being created for every episode of the show, without regard to notability guidelines, once a few are deleted individually, a group nom should be made for cleanup. // Timothy :: talk 06:54, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
