Article fails GNG and NBIO and 1E. RS found are all just mentions, nothing that meets SIGCOV. The only reason this article exists is due to sources related to the spouse. They are mentioned in Sukarno#Personal life, there is no sourced material meriting a merge, no objection to a redirect. // Timothy :: talk 23:40, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: WP:NOTINHERITED, cam be merged or redirected to the spouse's article, but insufficient to remain as an article in its own right 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 23:51, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move to draft I cleaned it up after the original creator moved it to mainspace. There are plenty of sources in Indonesian to meet SIGCOV. It just needs time to be worked on. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 00:09, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IBM Microelectronics[edit]

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

At this point, something of a WP:CORP1E situation, since the only apparent notability of this division is that IBM eventually sold it off as no longer profitable. There is probably somewhere where the one or two sentences of substance in this could be merged, but I see no reason for the article as it stands. Mangoe (talk) 23:33, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Uma Música[edit]

~~Keep~~ It's certified Gold in Brazil, I think that's notable under MUSIC. Oaktree b (talk) 16:45, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

First off, WP:MUSICBIO doesn't apply here. You're looking for WP:NSONG. Secondly, I haven't found anything else that would back up notability for the song. That Gold cert alone isn't gonna save it, and could easily be mentioned in the album/band article. Or at least it could be if I didn't think both of those articles are also no good and need to go as well. I'm voting to delete this and the album article, and also leaving a link to this AfD for the band here. If the band page gets kept then redirect both there. QuietHere (talk) 17:21, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, NSONG, is what I was thinking of. The "gold record" helps for notability, but we'd need a bit more sourcing to keep it. I'll scratch my vote above in a moment. Oaktree b (talk) 22:20, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think QuietHere was responding to the nominator, who used WP:MUSICBIO incorrectly. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:10, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the listing is nowhere an "indiscriminate collection of information". Could only be relevant if WP decided that no list of recorded songs could have a place here. Similar articles do exist with even poorer sourcing. Otherwise it just needs expansion and proper sourcing, not deletion. Most of the films already have enough references and the songs may be traced upon searching on the web. Abbasulu (talk) 11:25, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lancelot F.C.[edit]

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

Not a notable club. No sources actually discuss the football club, all we have is one full match report and passing mentions in an overview of some matches. No better sources found elsewhere. Fram (talk) 13:21, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History, Organizations, Football, and Scotland. Fram (talk) 13:21, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per WP:FOOTYN, teams which play in the national cup competition are notable. There is at least one source which discusses the club given on the article as it is just now. Granted, there are a number of WP:ROUTINE match reports but I believe GNG can be met. ~~I would also suggest redirecting to List of football clubs in Scotland#Defunct clubs as an alternative to deletion.~~ Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 14:24, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- FOOTYN is an essay, it is not an accepted guideline. There is no reason to believe that clubs that play in a non-restrictive cup (as was the case here, or is the case still now for small countries) are notable just because they entered this competition. Such inherited notability is getting less and less accepted across enwiki. Which source actually discusses the club? Or do you mean that single match report? Fram (talk) 14:45, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The source for the club's foundation and explanation of the club as a breakaway from a cricket club discusses the club rather than it just being a routine match report. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 15:35, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which source would that be? Fram (talk) 15:52, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to History of football in Scotland. The significance of Lancelot F.C. is that it formed so early, in the 1870s. It's more than "just another defunct club to add to the #Defunct clubs list" (and all the clubs listed at List of football clubs in Scotland are apparently individually notable). Even if it's just a few sentences, there are a couple of interesting facts and sources about Lancelot F.C. that could be moved to the History of football in Scotland page, and it would be greatly appreciated if the target page could also get a bit more attention and improvement at the same time. Cielquiparle (talk) 18:42, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If consensus was to delete, I would support Cielquiparle's merge proposal as an alternative. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 15:38, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I've put the reasons on the talk page; long story short is that the club was Notable in the mid-1870s (there are lots of match reports, it's not proportionate to include them all), and was more so than many clubs today which have their own wikipedia pages. After all, at the time, there were fewer than 50 out of the 200+ clubs in Scotland that did enter the Scottish Cup, and at the time Scotland was way ahead of England in terms of football ability. The club meets the somewhat vague GNG guidelines and until someone comes up with a better one specific to football clubs there's no reason why Lancelot should be excluded but (e.g.) Coylton Coyla or Scourie or Sandbach United F.C. should be kept. In Vitrio (talk) 19:27, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@In Vitrio The question is: Is there enough information ("significant coverage") of Lancelot F.C. in reliable secondary sources? We have to consider Lancelot F.C. on its own merit. (Never mind about the other club pages; best not to call attention to them unless you want to make them targets for deletion as well. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.) I searched the British Newspaper Archive and got a handful of articles dating back to 1889 (exciting), but those were mainly passing mentions (and sometimes newspaper articles are primary sources). I searched the Internet Archive and only found a bunch of books mentioning a person named "Lancelot F.C. Thomas" (so not relevant). But if you happen to have access to one or two of the books on Scottish football history, and Lancelot F.C. is discussed there – *that* could help a lot in justifying a !keep. Cielquiparle (talk) 19:56, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@In Vitrio I just read the Talk page. Another page to look at is WP:ORGDEPTH. "Significant" has to do with quality not just quantity of information, and depth of information. Cielquiparle (talk) 20:03, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for those other WPs, was not aware of them. The problem with finding other sources is that even a club like Thornliebank, which reached the final once, is barely, if ever, mentioned in history books (I've NEVER come across a reference to them other than in a list). If the club was never in the Scottish League, it gets swept aside. So the books mention Clackmannan County, but not the much more successful Clydesdale. The ultimate perhaps being not mentioning the first Helensburgh (semi-finalists) but instead the third (Scottish League for three seasons).

Lancelot at least had decent quality opponents, they were not like, say, Kerland or Gilbertfield who were stuck against 2nd XIs that year. One reason why I put up the page is because I kept finding references to them when researching Lancefield, which suggested that they were a cut above the normal sides, at least for a brief period, and so were Notable at the time - in context their coverage is broader than for other clubs who just have fixtures and occasional results. In Vitrio (talk) 21:11, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@In Vitrio Is there any way you could put the most important points in the History of football in Scotland page (regardless of the outcome of this AfD)? You seem like an excellent candidate to help fix that Wikipedia article; you're welcome to be BOLD and create sub-sections, delete questionable statements that are unsourced, find sources for plausible statements and cite them, and revise away, etc. I'm finding that all the context you are providing is super interesting (here and on the Talk page), and it would be very valuable to have that captured on the main subject page. Cielquiparle (talk) 21:28, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm flattered, but I would not consider myself an expert at all, and much of that page would require someone with better knowledge of the more contemporary game. The best I could say about Lancelot in the 'history' is that they were one of a surprisingly large number of the earliest clubs that came from cricket clubs (e.g. Clydesdale, Granville, Western, Blythswood); I had no idea how big cricket was in Scotland, or at least Glasgow at the time.

Keep I also lean towards keep, it's hard to determine the sources off hand, but there is enough to lead me to believe that the article is noteworthy. I also am at odds why merge into History of football in Scotland, a sentence or a few there might help, but certainly the whole content? It's not the right venue for that. So it doesn't seem the sensible choice. You could easily have a List of defunct Scottish football clubs, a couple of paragraphs on each club with links to main articles as needed and for the shorter article sizes to be merged in. However we don't currently have that, so that's another reason to keep WP:PRESERVE. Govvy (talk) 10:07, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SPEEDY KEEP as current medical practice is widely covered by Ayurveda. If the article seems promotional then remove then promotional content. Why delete?

~~WP:TNT~~ DELETE The slapdash fashion in which the (not always pertinent) references are used tells me that this was created for pay. But, that's not proof.

The sources all seem to be either the company's words,^[1]^[2]promo,^[3] routine coverage,^[4] gushing, sycophantic "articles", based entirely on interviews with the company's principals,^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10],purely promotional "articles"^[11]^[2]^[12] or complete nothingburgers that support nothing^[13]^[14]^[15]

Her education is only vaguely described ("Biotech[?!], Marketing, University of Delhi, Stanford"--they could be "certificates") and the "family lore" which gave rise to the company is, of course, sourced to Jain (but do we need to hear about it?). Better sources are needed, and non-promotional information needs to be mined from them, not ignored. As for sourcing, Indian journalism appears to take the advertorial to unimagined new heights. Having to wade through sentences like "At Biotique, hybrid^{[clarification needed]} plant and plant extracts are combined with biotechnology^[how?] to produce highly effective^{[citation needed]} products."^[5] OK, we are dealing with the marketing of snake oil here, but what kind of article can be written when all the journalistic sources are controlled by the company, which mostly spouts bullshit? Ignore the product and focus on the marketing? (they've teamed with Disney to sell stuff for kids)^[8] It's not entirely clear how this firm manages to combine Ayurveda with "biotechnology". But they do make lots of money. Edit: just had to share another gem:"She orchestrates a team of qualified Ayurvedic Doctors, Scientists and Swiss Cosmetologists who design, manufacture and pack all Biotique products."^[5] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quisqualis (talk • contribs)

The WP:ORGCRIT section of the WP:NCORP policy includes The guideline, among other things, is meant to address some of the common issues with abusing Wikipedia for advertising and promotion. This is more than an issue of tone, it is about the Wikipedia is not a means of promotion policy. So we assess sources according to the WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND sections of the WP:NCORP guideline to help us determine what is a promotional article that should be deleted. For this article, WP:GOOGLEHITS are not enough to support notability, and we need to look closely at the available sources. The sources added by Misterrrrr above do not appear to add support for notability:

Biotique’s Vinita Jain: The Art of Blending Ancient Science with Modern Biotechnology (Knowledge at Wharton, 2010) - this is a Q&A interview with the founder, without any secondary commentary or critical coverage from the source or interviewer (who is not named), and is introduced "According to Jain", "Jain talks about", "She explains", and "Jain says", so this is not WP:ORGIND because she is related to the company, and produces a narrative that is then copied, regurgitated, and published in whole or in part by independent parties.
Best hair serums in India (Business Insider India, Jan 24, 2023) - this is not WP:CORPDEPTH because it is trivial coverage of a product or service offering - it is not significant coverage of the company itself but instead lists one of the products with other similar products, with a 4-sentence overview about the product and an Amazon link to buy it.
Views from the Top: Vinita Jain, CMD, Biotique (Economic Times, 2010) - this is a brief Q&A interview with a 2-sentence introduction, and she talks about her inspiration, her definition of an entrepreneur, her business mantra, her short list of advice to startups, etc, but this is neither WP:CORPDEPTH about the company nor WP:ORGIND produced by an unrelated party.
Use biotique products and get radiant, healthy skin (Google Translated) (Maharashtra Times, 2021) - this source begins with a general overview about the importance of skin care, and then moves on to descriptions and Amazon purchase links for several Boutique products. This is trivial coverage of a product or service offering instead of significant coverage of the company and appears to be native advertising.
GREEN AND VALUE BASED BUSINESS ECO-SYSTEM : Research Perspective (Vikrant Institute of Management, 2021) - the company is mentioned at p. 40 in a chapter discussing survey results related to cosmetics buying habits ("the most used brand is Biotique"), but this is a study of people, not the company, and does not include WP:CORPDEPTH.
This 27-year-old Brand Has Established Itself without Any Traditional Advertising (Entrepreneur India, 2019), this brief source is based on "[Ishaan] Jain boasts" and "he said" for the claim in the headline, as well as "he does admit" and "Jain stated" for other content, and the source includes a focus on his mother, the founder of the company. This also appears to be a narrative produced by a related party that does not pass WP:ORGIND, and the superficial coverage of the company history is limited WP:CORPDEPTH.
Are herbal products really that natural as advertised in India? (Economic Times, 2018) - this is trivial coverage because it is only two quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources.
Loaded with nutrients, face packs make for a great skincare indulgence (Hindustan Times, 2021) - this is trivial coverage of a product or service offering, with Amazon purchase links, and the HT notes, "Hindustan Times has affiliate partnership, so we may get a part of the revenue when you make a purchase."
There is similar trivial coverage about products in WP:TOI, i.e. [25], [26], as well as two WP:FORBESCON (not reliable) sources, i.e. [27], [28].
The Queen Of Herbs Vinita Jain, founder of Biotique & Inspiring Indian woman Entrepreneur (Sugermint, no date?) - this website describes itself as "Sugermint is India's fastest-growing digital marketing platform for Indian entrepreneurs." This is not an independent and reliable source we can use to support notability for the company. This is a superficial puff piece about Jain and the company.
And as noted above by Scope creep, the mention of the company in a chart on one page of a source on GBooks is not WP:CORPDEPTH.

Based on the source analyses in this discussion and the guidelines and policies, delete seems appropriate at this time, due to insufficient support for notability. Beccaynr (talk) 03:35, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finding that, @Epcc12345. It's a thinly-disguised advert for Biotique, aimed at the Nigerian market:

A Nigerian skincare expert , Mrs Rosemary has urged Nigerians to use naturally formulated creams and Ayurvedic products like Biotique, Dabur, Visha Skincare, Himalayan Organics and Wander Beauty to avoid skin burns which are usually associated with "harsh unnatural creams".

More Findings about India based Biotique says that it has an operational footprint in more than 10 countries.

The firm is a women-led, self-sufficient biobased product company founded by Vinita Jain.

According to publications sources from economic times India. The beauty company was founded in 1992. Basically, Biotique is a unique blend of the 5,000-year-old science of Ayurveda with 21st century biotechnology. So in that sense Biotique is a global brand because it combines East and the West, the ancient and the modern and brings to you a platform for total health, well-being and beauty.

Please find us more from the experts, @Epcc12345.

Wishing you "total health, well-being and beauty."-- Quisqualis (talk) 19:08, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

QuisqualisThank you for the regards. It was written from NPOV not an advert because when I made further findings the said expert Rosemary Kama is not related to biotique but only giving general advice like see this 6 months publications [30] it a related publications but from another dimension.Also This is her firm website [31] to prove the said expert doesn't have an affiliation with biotique but only rendering her view which makes that reference to pass WP:CORPDEPTH and not a publicity for nigeria market from your assumption.Thanks.Epcc12345 (talk) 13:21, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please forgive me for chuckling, @Epcc12345, but medical claims by non-experts are not at issue here. See WP:MEDRS. What Kama says is unsourced and would be regarded as complete nonsensical fluff by scientists. You'd do best to ignore it. Sometimes one has to listen to the voice of common sense and not consume the Kool-Aid.-- Quisqualis (talk) 18:02, 29 January 2023 (UTC)EDIT: What Kama is saying is that some chemical skin-lighteners can be dangerous, and Ayurveda should be used instead. However, there is no scientific evidence that Ayurvedic skin lighteners are safe an effective, though, for most people, their use has fewer dangers. Kama is either duped or paid by manufacturers, as are the majority of beauty "experts". Even the purveyors of Ayurvedic skin lighteners avoid touting the effectiveness of their products, instead focusing on vague promises including youth, brightness, clearness, "tone". Biotique sells a "brightening" cream containing "Key Ingredients: Pure extracts of milk protein, wheatgerm, almond oil, honey and seaweed" which I believe was once offered as a whitening cream. Do you think it can change the color of a person's epidermis? I don't. Quinine is South American, so not Ayurvedic, but it has a long track record as a topical skin whitener, despite not being entirely safe. Just because snake oil is written about by snake oil salesmen doesn't make their claims in depth and reliable. Biotique is a corporation which is very marketing-oriented, but nobody writes about their clever marketing. They credulously repeat what the marketing says.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:20, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I reckon many many bus routes in the UK have media coverage in local newspapers when there are timetable changes, funding changes or other things happen. That doesn't make them notable. This is literally nothing more than a local bus route. Pkbwcgs (talk) 22:35, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Having coverage in newspapers is what defines notability. WP:GNG does not exclude local coverage. This is literally nothing more than a local bus route. is irrelevant. Just because this article doesn't interest you doesn't mean it shouldn't be included in the wiki. Garuda3 (talk) 23:02, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The sources are all about funding changes to the route, there's more about the cancellation or not of the route, than about the route itself. It doesn't serve any notable landmarks, isn't a historic route or have any famous drivers. There seem to be no construction scandals that took place along the route, or much of anything else that differentiates it from any other bus route on the planet. Oaktree b (talk) 00:54, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that bus routes are being slashed and withdrawn across the country is notable in itself and worthy of documenting. Bus routes are a lifeline for non-drivers. Once again if the coverage is there, the route doesn't have to be "special" in any way to warrant an article. There is no space limit on Wikipedia Garuda3 (talk) 08:20, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Just another run-of-the-mill bus route with no redeeming features or any long standing history. Routine coverage only, and at local level, does not satisfy notability requirements. Ajf773 (talk) 09:19, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect if a good target can be found (I didn't see an obvious one from a quick search), otherwise delete. Perhaps a brief mention in the articles on the communities served by the bus would be helpful? Bus routes aren't automatically notable, and WP:LOCAL, while an essay, does reflect common community consensus on topics that only receive local coverage, such as this bus route. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:38, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per detailed source assessment by Garuda3, the topic is notable and meets the WP:GNG. Merge could still be considered yet there is no great merge option. A47 road comes closest. This is a lengthy article that should not contain the nits and grits of 747 Uppingham–Leicester. In the bottom line, 747 Uppingham–Leicester is both notable and a legitimate spinoff of A47 road. gidonb (talk) 18:00, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Gidonb: All those sources are about funding and there's absolutely nothing that makes this bus route stand out. Just because it follows a random A road, that doesn't make it notable; there are literally thousands of bus routes in the UK that follow A road. Your argument doesn't give any reason why this bus route is particularly special in comparison with the many others which all got deleted through AfD. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:26, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And also, the bus route follows under 20 miles of the 192-mile A47 road. This is just a really poor argument and doesn't take into account Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill. It doesn't stand out. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:30, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to see how four local articles covering the exact same thing (funding being added for 1 year) shows notability; in fact, I don't think I'd even consider them significant coverage at all because of how short they are. As alluded to immediately above, this fails to pass WP:MILL. GNG is more complex than "if you find two sources it's automatically notable". Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:43, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, the road doesn't make the bus line notable. The references do! A common reaction to good sources is about supposed carveouts: the sources are about this or that. For example, folks often say all the sources mentioned about the company are its locations, its finance, its staff, its operations. Well, that pretty much summed up the company. Same here. I don't fall for that. The subject either is or isn't notable. This bus line clearly is notably and that much has been proven. STILL, even after that, I seriously consider merge options. And OFTEN opt for that option. To the great annoyance of the preservationists! As explained, in this case even that was irrelevant. gidonb (talk) 20:45, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, you didn't read what I said. I said I do not think the sources are significant coverage. But go off. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:49, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I did read what you said. You also made an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument of sorts. I do not have to react to everything. I never ever implied that all or even most bus lines are notable. This one had profitability problems and a funding fight around it. People depend on this service and this went noted. You tried to use this against it. But it really assists notability. gidonb (talk) 20:59, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, funding issues don't automatically make a bus route notable. They're an everyday thing and a normal thing across the country with various bus routes and that doesn't make it notable. It's still WP:MILL. Pkbwcgs (talk) 22:45, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:MILL is an essay. It doesn't trump WP:GNG, which this article passes. Garuda3 (talk) 22:49, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, funding issues don't automatically make a bus route notable No kidding! The keyword that makes this statement (automatically?) true is "automatically".

I fail to see why the references make it notable when they're all about funding; I scrutinised the 5 sources in the table above that had significant coverage in green, all of them about funding. Is it a popular route used by plenty of tourists? No. Has anything special happened to this route during its history? No. Especially when the coverage is all about just funding which doesn't make it notable. And I don't see any proof of its notability.

Answered above. My position is that most bus lines are NOT notable. This one is. My reasoning is data-driven, as AfD opinions should be. Each AfD and its very special circumstances that support keeping, deleting, merging, or redirecting. gidonb (talk) 21:03, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That AfD was hampered by limited participation, and included the thoroughly policy-ignorant vote of Keep.

The impact of the route's loss would be greater on Uppingham than Leicester.

Comment: could we consider a merger to something like "List of bus routes in [Uppingham/Leicester]", or "Bus transportation in [Uppingham/Leicester]"? Aside from the obvious problems with local coverage, we're also wandering into NOTDATABASE territory here. I also find the reference to systemic bias ironic; the average bus line in Japan, or Indonesia, or Nigeria, is likely to be used by far, far more people, and we don't have articles on those. I also don't see how schedule changes or operator changes are encyclopedic in and of themselves, especially when it's very likely that these are non-exhaustive. Vanamonde (Talk) 20:37, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A list of bus routes in Leicester is unlikely, considering this AfD outcome: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bus routes in Leicestershire. Most likely merger (if it ends up that way) would be for Uppingham. Ajf773 (talk) 20:57, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think a merge would be beneficial as you either only have content in one place (how to decide where?) or have duplication across multiple articles. Better to have an article with the route info and link to it where appropriate allowing those interested to find out more.

I'm not convinced Wikipedia:NOTDATABASE is relevant here - none of the four bullets appear to fit.

As for what is encyclopedic or not, Wikipedia has always been so much more than just a traditional encyclopedia. Cutting it down to what you'd find in a paper encyclopedia would involve deleting most of the wiki. Garuda3 (talk) 21:01, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The four articles counted towards GNG by @Garuda3 all say almost exactly the same thing (probably all based on the same press release) and all date from the same week in December 20-19, more than three years ago.

  Notability isn't temporary. Once notability has been established (as it has been here), it doesn't expire. "interesting" is subjective. The rest of your comment is pure Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEIT. Garuda3 (talk) 21:54, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I think we are really getting into the weeds if we think local newspaper articles about timetable changes mean that specific bus routes are notable. Personally I think there is an argument for a page discussing bus routes by area or bus company. Otherwise I just can't see how we are to determine between one bus-route and another (also, potentially, this will mean that a bus route only becomes notable when it is cut and then covered in local media. That can't be right, can it?) JMWt (talk) 19:37, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused by your comment. We have various places this could be merged to. If you support bus content on Wikipedia, why are you voting to delete?

As for what routes are notable, this is exhibited with all topics on Wikipedia. Trying to cover every single bus route in the world would be silly but what we can do is cover those that are written about in reliable, independant sources.

Finally, there is a misconception that a "local" paper somehow doesn't count for notability. WP:GNG does not exclude local coverage. Garuda3 (talk) 21:51, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Goodnight Goodnight (Maroon 5 song)[edit]

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

Fails WP:NSONG. Most of this article consists simply of statements of facts regarding its release (it appears to have only been officially released in one country in the world) and its accompanying video, which aren't indications of notability, and are mostly cited to some very poor sources that fail WP:RS. The only two claims to fame are the fact that it was used by a TV channel to promote the season's new line-up, and that it allegedly reached number one in Hong Kong, although I'm not sure there are any official Hong Kong music charts, and there is absolutely no way of verifying this claim, as the article re-creator admits the web page has been lost forever [33], so we are supposed to simply accept his word for it. In any case, I am baffled by the statement in the lead that the song apparently reached number one before it was released – as this was 2008 and before streaming was included in the charts, I don't understand how it would be possible to reach number one without being available to purchase or stream in any way. So all we have here is a promotional campaign, and a non-verifiable supposed number one – I don't see how there is enough here to pass WP:NSONG, but the article has been recreated repeatedly after redirecting to It Won't Be Soon Before Long, which would be my preferred option.

Redirect per nomination. Looks to be a failure of NSONGS. I would need to see proof of hitting number 1 in Hong Kong before I could even begin to factor that in.

And it was added by an editor whose talk page is full of complaints from other editors about adding unreliable chart sources. Richard3120 (talk) 22:27, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not. Hitting number one in a national chart is not typically a difficult to source feat. It's very suspect that we can't find a source for this, doubly so with this particular band/song/country combo. Sergecross73 msg me 21:05, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to It Won't Be Soon Before Long: Even if the Hong Kong chart were reliable, the song doesn't meet any other tenets of NSONG, nor the GNG, and that chart alone would not save this. Was a very late single release (a year and a half after the album), not very surprising that it didn't get as much coverage as the prior singles. QuietHere (talk) 00:12, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Amanush Holo Manush[edit]

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

WP:TOOSOON article about an as yet unreleased film, not properly sourced as the subject of sufficient production coverage to override the primary notability criteria for films at WP:NFO. As always, we do not want to indiscriminately maintain an article about every single film that enters the production pipeline — even films that start production can still fail to ever actually be completed or released, and/or can be completed and released yet still fail to surpass any of our notability tests for films.
So films aren't automatically entitled to have articles just because it's possible to show a small handful of production coverage while they're in the pipeline — that's permitted in the case of very high-profile projects that can show so much production coverage that even if they failed they'd still be notable failures anyway, but is not automatically extended to every film that enters production. There are just four footnotes here, however, and even one of those is merely the caption to a photograph rather than substantive coverage.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation if and when it is released and starts garnering the critical reviews that are much more central to establishing the permanent notability of a film -- but just having a couple of casting announcements isn't enough in and of itself.

Comment I have found several sources about Mendez-Gandica ([34][35][36][37][38][39][40]), some of which have already been inclued in the article.

I looked at the new sources above by Noonlcarus, most are interviews and many are from her University. The Discovery Channel seems to be the best one, we don't really have Discover as a RS, but I see no reason why this would be faked. I really don't want to delete it, she's doing good in the world and telling her story would help support the fight against bias on Wiki; female, US minority, women in science, these are all things she's championing. It's still a Delete for lack of sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 16:35, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I have updated the article with the more recent (2018) census [41]. Although at present that is only being used to support the population figure, there is much more information there which could provide material with which to expand the article (although we'd need to be careful to avoid basing large portions of this article on that, per WP:PRIMARY). I have also come up with [42] which provides significant coverage of Austrians in New Zealand, including the history and their cultural contributions. These two sources are sufficient for me to think that the topic is notable; the list of notable Austrians suggests that there would be further sources on individual Austrians which could legitimately be used to expand the article further.

@pianodan: interviews don't contribute to notability. lettherebedarklight 晚安 01:24, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If the interview is in a reliable source, why wouldn't it? Linux Journal is a long established publication. True, quoting Wall himself could be considered a primary, rather than secondary, source of information, but LJ chose to publish the interview. That interview CERTAINLY counts as supporting notability for Wall himself (not that he needs it), so the argument is whether the mention in that particular article is substantial enough to contribute to notability for the concept, NOT whether interviews themselves are generally off limits for GNG.

@Materialscientist: Please don't move a page this way during an AfD, it is confusing for other editors and means we can't see the previous dab page, work out whether the red link needed a blue link, etc. But if you do move a page, please tidy up the incoming links - I've fixed those in two templates: {{Ministers of the Interior of Poland}} and {{Donald Tusk Cabinet}}.

Yeah, this is very confusing. It looks like the argument revolved around https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Undelete&target=Jerzy+Miller&timestamp=20230116080120 and in turn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Jerzy_Miller_(poet) which is empty, so the MOS:DABRL standard isn't met.

List of South Park characters is expected, reasonable and quite sufficient. We don't need sublists of characters by profession, location, etc. (List of South Park families, List of students at South Park, List of recurring South Park characters...). Coud consider merger, but 99% of what we have here is unreferenced plotcruft that fails WP:LISTN. PS.

Delete - A lot of the the arguments in the previous AFD were centered on the fact that combining these characters into the main List of South Park characters list would make it too long. But, that isn't true at all due to the fact that the only reason this article itself is so long is because its filled with tons of completely non-notable characters and information. The actual major and reoccurring characters from this list (Chef, Mr. Garrison, Mr. Mackey, etc.) are already covered on the main character list. And, basically the entirety of the rest are extremely minor characters that appeared in a single episode, and would not be appropriate to include in the main character list at all. As the character that should be covered on the main list already are, and the characters that are too minor to be covered on the main list are so trivial as to not need coverage at all, this is a completely unneeded spinout article/list. And since the vast bulk of the information here is unsourced, merging would not be appropriate. Rorshacma (talk) 17:09, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect all: Redirect to WP:PRESERVE page history, so that any character that needs to be added to the main list can easily be done by searching page history. Unsuitable for main space, however.

Rename and Rescope: There is coverage on celebrities that have become politicians (even Britannica has a little article [44]), so it meets WP:NLIST. However, I don't believe it's really encyclopedic, as such lists are usually clickbaity and not really serious studies or journalism. However, as David J. Jackson notes, "You could write the same book on celebrity in politics as you could write on business in politics" [45], meaning the topic is at least notable. Maybe a WP:TNT is due, but there's nothing too terrible about it now. It's just not good. Why? I Ask (talk) 17:05, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-defining subjective characteristic, plus duplicate article with List of actor-politicians, List of beauty queen-politicians, List of mathematician-politicians, and List of sportsperson-politicians. There are very few politicians who are only celebrity, most celebrity coming from some prior accomplishment.

Number 8 only mentions the song by name once and is mainly focused on it being an early live performance regardless of what songs they're playing.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes[edit]

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

There is an ongoing edit war over whether or not to keep this page as an article, or redirect it to another location. The two opposing arguments at hand (as I understand them, judging by the edit summaries of the history) appear to be that 1) the subject is not independently notable as the game is not out, little meaningful information is available in sources, and what is available can be adequately covered in related articles, and 2) that there are numerous other articles about games that have not yet been released (such as Breath of the Wild 2) which are nonetheless retained. I've not been involved in editing this page, and do not personally have any strong opinion as to which is the right course of action here, but it's clear that this is a topic in need of a discussion. As such, per WP:BLAR, I'm taking the initiative and starting one up. silvia (BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 13:46, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Really feels like a failure of WP:BEFORE. This game has getting dedicated third party coverage for years. A game doesn't not need to be released to be notable. Sergecross73 msg me 13:56, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. This has gotten on-going coverage in reliable sources ever since 2020, that can easily support a dedicated article. We don't only keep media articles for media that has been published.--Alexandra^IDV 14:03, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. It's notable on multiple levels, both from its legacy as a successor of well known game franchise and also the success of its Kickstarter. Any dismissal of this game's notability reeks of "well, I haven't heard of it so therefore it doesn't matter". Besides, one of the things that an article like this is supposed to cover is the production and when better to cover this than during its production. And even if it somehow were to never come out and get cancelled, I'd argue it would make it even MORE notable as the biggest gaming Kickstarter cancellation of all time. Either way, this game will be, and already is, highly notable. Djungelurban (talk) 14:10, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Serge and Alexandra—enough coverage to justify an article. Certainly not perfect but it just needs some work, not deletion. Some really poor editing behaviour on show prior to this AfD; "Restore" is not a valid edit summary the first time, let alone the third—especially when blanking a page and even more so when reverting not one but four experienced editors. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 14:22, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea. it's so bizzare.....like someone reverted the blanking, did some edits. The article got blanked and redirected again, and then said person changed the redirect to the 'companion' game (which as I said in the edit summery makes NO sense whatsoever, it'd be like if back then someone redirected Final Fantasy XII to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance).

Keep. The idea that it's too soon for an article until the game is released does not follow what has been done for thousands of other games. WP:MOSVG even discusses upcoming games as articles: Category:Upcoming_video_games_scheduled_for_2023, Category:Upcoming_video_games The article could use some work, certainly, but there is a lot of news coverage for the game. The article certainly won't be improved if it keeps getting turned into a redirect. And that it's a single user that's been insisting on this for some reason for over a year is odd. --― Padenton|✉ 16:55, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. We have a whole category for unreleased games. OceanHok (talk) 17:03, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (probably a Snow Keep at this point) - Whether or not a game is released yet is pretty irrelevant as far as whether or not an article would be appropriate yet. Its a case by case basis for each one, depending on the level of significant coverage in reliable sources that it has received. And this is a case where it has clearly gotten plenty of coverage to the point that an article would be entirely reasonable. The bizarre argument in the edit history that until something is released having a standalone article on it means "its advertising" kind of boggles my mind. Rorshacma (talk) 17:18, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm usually pretty cynical about articles for unreleased games, but this one, as it stands, is decently referenced, not particularly PROMO, and there's little doubt that the product's notability will increase when it releases. (ie: It's not just a flurry of press releases that created a sort of fake notability.) If the Kickstarter were still active, I'd be a lot a more sympathetic to the idea that the mere existence of the article was a form of PROMO, but that ended years ago now, so I don't think that argument is valid at all. It's not representative of the reality of how Wikipedia treats upcoming media projects. ApLundell (talk) 19:03, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Eejit43 I didn't realize that Amjad didn't scite any sources, it's my mistake. There's other sources in this page that are reliable like the Caucasian war Section, so I think the best decision is to remove unreliable sources like Amjad Jaimoukha's book which I already removed. If theres any other sources that aren't reliable, tell me, I will remove them. WikiEditor1234567123 (talk) 15:22, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to defer to other opinions. This isn't a subject I'm that well educated in. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 15:26, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I personally think the whole article should be removed, are we really creating a "list of battles/wars" article on a small republic that is part of the Russian federation? a republic that has not taken part in major wars and who's history was recorded in detail only in the 19th century? I'm not saying this to insult, the same can be said about my nation (Chechens) and any other North Caucasian nation. I mean look at the battles involving Ingush even in this list, 99% are skirmishes and very few can be considered battles or even wars. Is World war 1 & 2 really an "Ingush war" if there were very few soldiers involved and the republic itself had no actual part in it? can World war 2 also be considered a Navajo war because of the Navajo soldiers serving in the US army? was the Vietnam war also a "Navajo war" where the Navajos were defeated by the Vietnamese? Goddard2000 (talk) 17:16, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since when making an article on a small republic was prohibited? I wouldn't have problem if other Caucasian nations made similar lists, there's no issue at all and I actually would like to see them share their history. About 10 thousand Ingushes fought together with Soviet Union against Germany, so it wasn't very few soldiers as you said, considering the fact that Ingushes were in total of hundred thousand. The victory was victory of Soviet Union, not just Ingush victory, besides there were many other ethnicities fighting like the Ukrainians or Kazakhs. WikiEditor1234567123 (talk) 07:12, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like a source for the 10,000 Ingush fighting for the Soviet Union when the Soviet census in 1939 said there were only 92,000 Ingush in Ingushetia, even so it should not be regarded as an Ingush war since otherwise every single ethnicity in the world would be credited with a victory because almost everyone were part of the Soviet union. Next you're gonna have Chukchi make their own list of wars and include WW1, WW2 etc as Chukchi victories.

No one is saying it's prohibited, i'm saying it's unnecessary since it is aggrandizing a small nation with "battles and wars" that were nothing more than small skirmishes. You have "battles/wars" like the great "Raids of Ingush abreks on the Georgian Military Highway and Mozdok", "Darial Gorge blockade", and "Ingush raids on Russian ambassador armies" as military victories. Why aren't these great victories on the list of wars involving Russia? should you not edit them in that article? according to you here Ingush have 3 military victories against Russia when in reality they were mere skirmishes, especially the "Russian ambassador" who was only known to have been attacked by Ingush tribesmen on his road to Georgia but now this is some war or battle where Ingush defeated Russia?

Not to mention the battles that i have already criticized and have put up for deletion such as the "Nazran conflict" and "Battle of Assa" but these we can discuss in their respective talk pages (like we've already done). Goddard2000 (talk) 10:36, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Unnecessary since it is aggrandizing a small nation with "battles and wars", It's your personal opinion that this is unnecessary but it shows history of a small nation which is good. You try to find problems too hard when there's not, the issues with unreliable sources I have already solved by removing the sources and the battles. "Should you not edit them in that article?" what a great argument from Goddard2000 I have to say! I didn't put them because: 1. The page was protected. 2. I'm not obligated to put anything there. 3. What is this argument? Other lists involving post-ussr countries include WW2 since they fought in it but no where am I claiming that it's Ingush victory, it's victory of Allies (USSR, USA, UK and others), don't put words into my mouth please. WikiEditor1234567123 (talk) 13:10, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Most of these are not "wars" in the usual sense of the word and most did not involve a state known as "Ingushetia". I also agree with most of what Goddard2000 has said, in particular his remark on the Navajos in the Vietnam War. Pichpich (talk) 20:02, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I explained in the article that the list involves also Durdzuks who are Ingushes (and Chechens) and cited 8 sources for that. By your logic, Lazica and Colchis shouldn't be in List of wars involving Georgia and Kievan Rus shouldn't be in List of wars involving Ukraine because they weren't known as "Georgia" or "Ukraine". Other lists involving post-ussr countries include WW2 since they fought in it but no where am I claiming that it's Ingush victory, it's victory of Allies (USSR, USA, UK and others), so I don't understand why bring up "Navajos in the Vietnam War" analogy. WikiEditor1234567123 (talk) 12:59, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Difference between other countries in Post SSR was that they were SSR republics that had a big impact on the war, Ingush and Chechens didn't so we can compare them to the Navajos in the US fighting in Vietnam. You should edit in these wars and battles in the "list of wars involving" other countries, go ahead and add the great Ingush victory of "attack on ambassadors" during the 16th century in the Russian list of wars. They need to know their history, i don't think they know how the mighty Ingush defeated them. Goddard2000 (talk) 03:35, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A collective is an organization/company therefore, fall sunder the purview of WP:NCORP. A sentence in NY Times does not constitute WP:SIGCOV. I'm not locating the type of coverages to satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:SIRS to be sustained notable. Graywalls (talk) 03:35, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I disagree that WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH are the appropriate guidelines by which to judge artistic endeavors, but even by those stringent criteria this is a clear keep, due to the extensive critical analysis and commentary in this Artforum article and reviews such as this in the Portland Mercury. Other sources are available but those are the best two I have located. The Modern Painters citation in the article may also be significant coverage but I have not found it available online. Jfire (talk) 04:41, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted additional potential sources on the article talk page. Jfire (talk) 04:50, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I located the Modern Painters article; it's available via Wikipedia Library: [46]. It is not significant coverage, merely a mention in an article about the Portland art scene circa 2003. Nevertheless, the other sources suffice to establish notability. Jfire (talk) 05:07, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than discuss your agreement/disagreement, please guide the discussion to which policy/guideline or prior discussion consensus suggest that "art collectives" are not evaluated as organization. Using organization evaluation, local weeklies like the Portland Mercury and Willamette Week are not able to satisfy WP:AUD. Wikipedia is a global encyclopedia. Some local organizations of importance to the local community aren't guaranteed a placement in the global encyclopedia. Graywalls (talk) 05:42, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jfire:, upon checking with WP:RSN; I've got two inputs from uninvolved editors that Art 21 magazine and especially those before 2013 wouldn't be a WP:RS and they suggested it to be treated as a group blog, meaning that it ought to not be considered for establishing notability. Graywalls (talk) 00:08, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the conclusion on RSN that pre-2013 content from Art 21 is not RS. However, my keep rationale does not rely on this source in order to demonstrate notability; that's based on the extensive Artforum article and Portland Mercury review. Jfire (talk) 01:58, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Portland Mercury is hyper-local alternative weekly. When it was doing prints, it was only distributed within Portland, perhaps a smaller areas just outside the city limits as well. Within Portland, it focused on local events. So it has a very narrow audience reach and in evaluating WP:NCORP criteria, such local coverage has relatively little weight. Think of it like high school paper that covers some on-campus affairs or neighborhood newsletter that cover some neighborhood affairs in great details. If the contents covered there have garnered wider coverage, such as in regional or national paper, those papers can be used to augment the better source to support the contents but they're of little use for the purpose of establishing notability. Graywalls (talk) 10:09, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AUD expressly does not require that all sources used to establish notability have larger-than-local audience. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability... at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary. That criterion is satisfied by the Artforum profile. Artforum is an international publication, "the art world’s most prominent magazine" as CJR has put it. Virtually any artist or artistic collective profiled in Artforum will have substantial coverage in other sources, and we see that is the case here. (Again, don't take my argument here as accepting the precedent that we should be applying WP:NCORP standards to artistic collectives. I'm accepting that premise in this instance only because I think Red76 passes them anyway.) Jfire (talk) 17:08, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  The article notes: "In Portland, Oregon, two people with no art school training and scant interest in art history, calling themselves Red76, prevailed upon a half-dozen friends to loan them the modest resources needed for a month-long cluster of “art events,” called Ghosttown, 2006. ... Ghosttown is typical of Red76, a self-described “arts group” founded in 2000 with shifting membership that (this time around) included Sam Gould and Khris Soden. Red76 has enabled similar exchanges through projects like Dim Sum, 2002– (a show-and-tell buffet of in-progress artwork served with a sit-down breakfast), Little Cities, 2005– (cut-and-paste parties to make model cities), and Laundry Lectures, 2003– (talks given at Laundromats), both inside and outside art institutions in North America and Europe, including the Drawing Center in New York, Southern Exposure in San Francisco, and the Autonomous Cultural Center in Weimar, Germany."

  The article notes: "Community is a topic that has long preoccupied Red76, which was founded in 2000. Through participatory events that more closely resemble house parties than anything you'd find in a gallery, Red76 has quietly asked big questions without spoiling the fun by being pretentious or pedantic. In 2004, its "New York Public Archive" project, held in New York City's Drawing Center, asked citizens to contribute drawings of what they saw, heard, and felt during that summer. The end result was an impressionistic collection of moments from more than 2,000 New Yorkers. A little more recently and closer to home, Red76 hosted a series of parties, called "Little Cities," in which guests literally made little cities out of cardboard, paint, and hot glue."

  The article notes: "Not Red76. The six-year-old independent Portland art collective says art can be created from everyday events, installed in neighborhood watering holes and toasted, say, with a frosty can of Pabst. And throughout January, Red76 did just that. The group launched its most ambitious project yet, "Ghosttown," a monthlong series of small, often memory-based events that 76's founder Sam Gould would collectively call a "living museum of the everyday." Red76 provided the catalyst for the memories, the framework for new connections and further discussion. The free events occurred at ordinary places around the city --from an outdoor public kitchen behind an art gallery to a smoky, Northeast watering hole."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Red76 to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
Cunard (talk) 07:56, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience says:
The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary.
Artforum meets the "Audience" requirement because it is an international magazine that Columbia Journalism Review called "the art world's most prominent magazine". The Oregonian meets the "Audience" requirement because it is a statewide newspaper and is "the largest newspaper in Oregon and the second largest in the Pacific Northwest by circulation".

Fordville, Arizona[edit]

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

I start the year off with another case where the actual sources differ considerably from what we have passed through GNIS to our article. It is yet another late arrival to the topos, which early on show the mining town of Tiger next door, but nothing at this spot, which sits between several mines. When it does show up, it's another back entry from GNIS, but the latter's source (Granger, Byrd H. (1983). Arizona's Names (X Marks the Place). Tucson: The Falconer Publishing Company.) is related in GNIS as saying "Name derived from Ford Mine for which it appears to have served as a post office for a few months in 1880 (AZ-T101)." This is consistent with what I found elsewhere, once I browbeat Google into excluding the place in North Dakota. So not a notable settlement. Mangoe (talk) 02:05, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I can find numerous mentions of the term in academically-published books through Google Books, and these are not passing mentions, but explain the purpose and use of these diagrams. I think the topic is notable enough (regardless of the page's current contents). The concept was invented in 1960 by Tocher, later formally defined, and other scholars have analyzed its limitations and tried to expand the concept.[50] One book says "two diagramming methods used in discrete-event simulation are activity cycle diagrams and process maps"[51], so I think whatever this article ends up being, it should be summarized at Discrete-event simulation.

Keep - The argument to delete is that the article is a stub? That's not a valid deletion argument. The standard procedure for stubs is to expand them. Outlines are one of Wikipedia's navigation systems, to help WP's readers see what articles WP has on a subject. The purpose of the Outline of ancient China is to present the topics on this subject that Wikipedia covers, by providing links to the articles in Wikipedia that are about ancient China. Like the rest of the navigation systems, each outline is designed to expand as Wikipedia's coverage of its subject grows — and like all articles on Wikipedia, each outline is also a work-in-progress.

  The book notes: "One of the most important agents in the city as well as one of the largest chair manufacturers in the country was John S. Ford, Johnson & Co., whose headquarters and warehouses were in Chicago but whose products were manufactured in Indiana and Massachusetts. Organized in 1872, the firm was jointly operated by Ford & Johnson manufacturers of chairs in Michigan City, Indiana, and Philander Derby who operated one of the nation's largest chair factories in Gardner, Massachusetts. An early conglomerate composed of several partners and representing several factories, J. S. Ford, Johnson & Co. was the outgrowth of a furniture-making business founded in Columbus, Ohio, in 1861 ... During the mid-1880s, J. S. Ford Johnson & Co. offered more than 3,000 varieties of chairs, rockers, and cradles ranging from old-fashioned "Grecian chairs and rockers" to fashionable "folding rustic settees.""

  The book notes: "J. S. Ford, Johnson & Co., manufacturers of chairs, have been in existence as a firm under that title since 1873. The enterprise they represent has numerous branches. The Chicago firm, known by the above name, comprises John S. Ford, Henry W. Johnson, R. A. Hitchcock, and Philander Derby—John S. Ford and R. A. Hitchcock being residents of Chicago, and Mr. Derby of Gardner, Mass. The house was first established in 1861, by Mr. Ford, who began manufacturing chairs alone at Columbus, Ohio. In 1865, the firm of Ford & Johnson was organized, removing to Michigan City, where Reuben A. Hitchcock joined the enterprise, the firm becoming Ford, Johnson & Co. in 1868. In 1873, they removed to Chicago, their location being on Monroe, near Franklin Street, until 1876, when they removed to the corner of Van Buren and Jackson streets, and in 1885 to Nos. 300–306 Wabash Avenue. When the firm came to Chicago, they bought out Stoll & Barnes, and Mr. Derby became a partner, being one of the chief projectors of this great enterprise. Mr. Derby is an extensive manufacturer at Gardner, Massachusetts, and Mr. Johnson operates the factories at Michigan City, Ind., but all the goods of the latter establishments are sold by the Chicago house, while the Eastern and Western houses exchange and sell mutually. The firm sells its goods all over the country, and employs seven regular travelling salesmen and numerous local agents. They manufacture everything in the line of chairs, embracing some three thousand varieties. They do a large business in seating railroad depots, churches, billiard halls and summer resorts. The Chicago establishment employs some eighty men, considerable finishing work on their goods being done in this city. Their factories are located at Michigan City, Ind., where some six hundred workmen are employed."

15.ai[edit]

This is an anonymous creator's unfinished project at a dead website, where they collected all of the My Little Pony videos and ran them through open source voice cloning software. Their grandiose view of their own project doesn't mean that it's notable. This article is 49% original research, and 49% content that needs to be moved to the Audio_deepfake article, since it's so generalized.

"one example of the first TTS voice generators and neural networks"

That is an extremely false claim, and I am sorry if this Patreon project mislead you into donating based on that. The 15.ai project was begun in 2020 as a labeled training set of My Little Pony clips. The project uses publically available TTS & neural network software. For the actual history of neural network TTS, which 15.ai has nothing to do with, see:

Strong Keep. As one of the primary editors of the article in the past (now mostly inactive due to real-life things), the article from several months ago was most certainly up to GA standards. However, this article has constantly been plagued by anonymous editors and new users making unsubstantiated edits ever since the article was first created. I have since reverted the article back to what it was back in November. As for notability, the subjects absolutely meets the requisite standards, and as pointed above, was extremely crucial in the development of TTS voice generation.

The OP's claims are so replete with falsehoods and misinformation that it suggests to me that this AfD nomination was not made in good faith. The first two sentences are completely wrong—the project is not "unfinished" but rather constantly improving, the website is not "dead," the creator did not collect "My Little Pony videos," the voice cloning software is not "open source"—that I suspect that this was done fully on purpose. —HackerKnownAs (talk) 23:58, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It appears that the article has become somewhat bloated with both marginal content and marginal sources, and could do with a good spring cleaning.

Comment. I'd like to point out: 1. almost everything stated in the OP is incorrect and the website isn't dead, as it's currently under maintenance (only for three months, mind you - hardly considered "dead"); and 2. WP:DEGRADE. This project's possibly the single most widely recognizable modern TTS project on the Internet (yes, even more recognizable than my namesake), and taking into consideration the inordinately numerous IP edit problem this article has always had, it's rash and unreasonable to judge the notability and quality of an article from these overzealous editors. I was most active in contributing to this article back in June of last year, so while I'm disappointed and rather annoyed by the sheer number of gung-ho editors who have no standards for quality control making all of these unsolicited edits, let me assure you that the article definitely did (and still does) exceed the notability and quality standards of Wikipedia. There are numerous secondary sources from reliable outlets like Game Informer, Polygon, IGN, and Kotaku, which are all listed under WP:RS.

>This is an anonymous creator's unfinished project at a dead website, where they collected all of the My Little Pony videos and ran them through open source voice cloning software. Their grandiose view of their own project doesn't mean that it's notable.

That's a very gross misrepresentation of just how significant the project was in the history of TTS research and I would advise editors to not take what is written in the OP at face value. I'm disappointed not only because such a blatant misrepresentation is being used to justify the deletion of this article, but also because some editors seem to have bought into OP's misleading and objectively false statements without checking them.

"how significant the project was in the history of TTS research"

I see the My Little Pony fandom is now glomming onto this AFD, after the initial string of Deletes. First of all, welcome. Regarding your core claim - since 15.ai is ultimately an Audio deepfake implementation (or as you're calling it, TTS, even though that's a much older technology) - why do 0 of the 52 references at Audio deepfake make any mention at all of 15.ai? Seems odd. I hope non-biased editors can judge for themselves which side of this discussion is doing the lying. But, most likely the only new comments here from here out will be from the MLP Fandom, as the string of Deletes came from folks visiting via the daily AFD log. I have nothing against My Little Pony or this deepfake dubbing project, I only take issue with articles full of false claims, original research, and unrelated citations that belong in a different article. Habanero-tan (talk) 22:10, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you think that I or any of the other commenters are from the My Little Pony fandom? (I'm not.) If you check my previous edits, it should've been obvious that I'm an actual deep learning engineer, as the vast majority of my edits are of deep learning articles (not to mention my username) and the only tangentially MLP-related article in my edit history is this very one (and I only contributed to the technical side of the article, not the fandom side of the article). It's extremely disingenuous of you to try and blame this backlash on brigading when 1. there is no evidence of such brigading happening at all (and the burden of proof is on you), and 2. your initial nomination was full of falsehoods that you still haven't acknowledged and are trying to brush under the carpet.

For example, as pointed out above: Why would you claim that the project is dead? Why would you claim that the project was run through open source cloning software? Why would you claim that the creator collected all of the My Little Pony videos, and why would you insinuate that the MLP aspect of the project is most paramount compared to the actual technology behind the project?

The reason I will continue supporting a speedy keep is due to WP:EARLY: The fifth bullet point states, Nominations which are so erroneous that they indicate that the nominator has not even read the article in question., which to me is obviously the case from the falsehoods mentioned above. The fact that you seem to be ignoring editors calling you out and instead are blaming these grievances on an entire fandom is truly telling. Tacotron2 (talk) 23:03, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I'm new to the AfD process, but the OP's accusation of brigading does not sit well with me. Could an admin clarify whether this is allowed or not? Tacotron2 (talk) 23:07, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

>or as you're calling it, TTS, even though that's a much older technology

As an ML engineer, I cannot even begin to explain how incorrect you are. Look up any "audio deepfake" implementation paper/repo, and I guarantee that you will see the term TTS being used in the title or description. I mean no offense, but claiming something like this shows just how blatantly ignorant you are of this topic. Here are three examples off the top of my head:

Tacotron2: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1712.05884.pdf

Glow-TTS: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.11129.pdf

Transformer-TTS: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.08895.pdf Tacotron2 (talk) 23:21, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No. TTS stands for Text to Speech. It just means speech synthesis. It's not a specific implementation or technique. If you read the comment being directly replied to, it calls 15.ai "the first TTS". TTS is much older than that. Habanero-tan (talk) 02:37, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What in the world are you talking about? You need to re-read the comment you directly replied to, because I never stated anything of the sort. I'm using the term "TTS" as it's commonly used in the field of ML-based TTS research. You were the one who claimed that 15.ai is not a TTS, when it by definition is. Tacotron2 (talk) 05:11, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't purposely strawman the wrong semantic sense into other folks comments, it only wastes time and energy. We both know what Bloodclotboy12 meant when they stated 15.ai is "one example of the first TTS". We both also know what the actual historical first TTS technologies were. Let's steelman and assume WP:GOODFAITH instead, and move back to the focus of improving Wikipedia. Habanero-tan (talk) 21:55, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As much as I'd like to assume good faith on your end, it's exceedingly difficult for me to do so when you're still dodging the questions asked above. Could you explain how you came to the conclusion that 15.ai uses "open source voice cloning software"? Tacotron2 (talk) 22:50, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting to get opinions on the state of the article after an editor's revert to the condition the page was in when it was designated a GA. I see there is room for improvement (and, at the least, protection) of this article but I'm very reluctant to delete an article that is a current GA. Just a note that those advocating Keep should cease attacking editors who see problems with this article. This is all part of the process of AFD when we consider how to handle articles that are seen as problematic. There is nothing nefarious going on, remember to have good faith towards other editors even when you disagree.

Just a reminder that a closer can close this whenever they deem there is a consensus. I just wanted to see if those advocating Delete had a change of mind with the revert of the article back to before vandalism occurred.

Those articles are not an in depth presentation of 15.ai. They are pretty short and are sounding like "hey, look this weird app" Cinadon36 10:04, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you may have misread the dates -- the Eurogamer article was published on 2022 January 17, which was a year after the others. 15.ai most recently came under attention in early 2022 due to the Troy Baker NFT incident, which occurred over a year after 15.ai gained popularity in early 2021, so the subject isn't simply one of short-term interest.

As far as I'm aware, conciseness doesn't detract from these sources as having significant coverage (and in my humble opinion, the articles do a fine job of summarizing the important parts of 15.ai). The page for WP:Notability states that the sources should have significant coverage, be reliable, provide objective evidence of notability, and be independent of the subject, all of which seem to apply to the sources listed here. Tacotron2 (talk) 10:15, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To give some more context, at the time of those initial articles in early 2021, no one had a clue where 15.ai had come from, as very little was actually known about the developer themselves. The website gave very little information about how the tool worked and there was no contact information, so it makes sense that those articles weren't able to talk much about the creator of the tool itself or how the TTS worked behind the scenes, but rather focused on the content created by the tool. Hope this clears things up, thank you. Tacotron2 (talk) 10:23, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes but. Article of Eurogamer was a year later, but the main issue was not 15.ai. Look, I understand this is borderline. They coverage is limited. For some, that s enough though. For me, it is a weak delete. Cinadon36 20:39, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Elmidae and Tacotron2. Notability isn’t under question due to sources posted above that sufficiently meet WP:RS so I’m surprised to see discussion still going on about that. It’s one thing to scrutinize the quality of the article before or after the vandalism but to my knowledge that isn’t grounds for deletion. Full disclosure, I might be biased because I have heard of 15.ai before and only just found this AfD from the article itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Axiomofyourchoosing (talk • contribs) 11:17, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. It's not 'extremely important'; but it seems well sourced enough for a non-contentious article. JeffUK 16:28, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, with the same points HackerKnownAs made above. 15.ai is constantly updated. While it is down currently, that isn't an uncommon state for the site to be in, and shouldn't be considered reason for deletion. Similar web projects are not available online, yet that does not discount their notability for an article. 15.ai is influential in fandom and AI culture, with coverage of itself and of creations made using it. —Frosty Beep 19:04, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (I already voted Strong Keep above, but would like to expound on my vote as I continue to clean up the article). There are at least four unchallenged sources from reliable organizations, plus a few others I have found on the article that contribute toward a solid GNG. The following is a summary of these sources:

Source	Reliable?	Significant coverage?	Count source toward GNG?
Source assessment table: prepared by User:HackerKnownAs
[[65]]	Game Informer is listed under WP:VG/RS	The source discusses the subject directly and in detail	✔ Yes
[[66]]	PCGamer is listed under WP:VG/RS	The source discusses the subject directly and in detail	✔ Yes
[[67]]	Kotaku is listed under WP:VG/RS	The source discusses the subject directly and in detail	✔ Yes
[[68]]	Rock, Paper, Shotgun is listed under WP:VG/RS	The source discusses the subject directly and in detail	✔ Yes
[[69]]	Eurogamer is listed under WP:VG/RS	~ The article mentions the subject briefly, but does not offer much detail	~ Partial
[[70]]	~ While Yahoo! News is listed under WP:RSPSS, Yahoo! Finance is possibly less reliable; leaving as uncertain	The source discusses the subject directly and in detail	~ Partial
[[71]]	Generally considered reliable; see [[72]]	~ The article mentions the subject briefly, but does not offer much detail	~ Partial
[[73]]	~~Source is in Japanese; unclear whether the source (DenFamiNicoGamer) is reliable~~ Appears to be reliable, as the website has its own editorial board, has been used unchallenged in other GA articles, and has been the source of exclusive interviews of celebrities and leaders in the gaming industry (see [74])	The source discusses the subject directly and in detail	✔ Yes
[[75]]	~~Source is in Japanese; unclear whether the source (Automaton Media) is reliable~~ Appears to be reliable, as the website has its own editorial board, has been used unchallenged in other GA articles, and has been the source of exclusive interviews of celebrities and leaders in the gaming industry (see [76])	The source discusses the subject directly and in detail	✔ Yes
[[77]]	? Although LaPS4 has an article under the Spanish Wikipedia, unclear whether the source is reliable	The source discusses the subject directly and in detail	? Unknown
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

In addition, I have made a request that the article be placed under extended-confirmed protection, which has been accepted as of yesterday. Hopefully, this will keep some of the persistent disruptive editing at bay. —HackerKnownAs (talk) 20:12, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, the table is quite impressive. But I am not sure that the sources discusses the subject in detail. For example, Game Informer's article is of 334 words (counted by https://wordcounter.net/). 'Rock paper shotgun is at 340 words. Kotaku is 216. PC Gamer at 362 words. So I am not very confided that is significant coverage. Cinadon36 20:46, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the reply; however, I must disagree with your assessment. According to WP:WHATSIGCOV and WP:100W, "sources with at least 100 words of coverage of a topic generally count" as part of significant coverage, a condition that all of the articles above satisfy. In addition, the definition of "significant coverage" as stated in WP:GNG has no mention of a minimum word count, and only stipulates that the sources must "address the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content." —HackerKnownAs (talk) 20:59, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The 100 words bar is derived from an essay (Wikipedia:One hundred words), it is not a wp consensus. When reading those articles, nowhere did I felt I was reading a detailed account of 15.ai. Cinadon36 06:41, 27 January 2023 (UTC) Cinadon36 06:41, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And similarly, that the 100 words guideline is derived from an essay does not mean that it is precluded from being a Wikipedia consensus; I don't see anywhere in the Wikipedia documentation that stipulates that sources with ~300 words are exempt from being meeting WP:SIGCOV, and I would consider that limit to be just as arbitrary as the 100 words limit in WP:100W. I regarded the articles as more than adequately meeting significant coverage of the subject, and I'm sure that many other editors would regard them as such as well. Your standards for what meets significant coverage might just be stricter than most, and that is completely fine—I simply disagree that an article must meet a minimum length in order for its subject to be considered noteworthy. —HackerKnownAs (talk) 11:59, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the polite discussion. Even though we disagree, I really liked the way you present your arguments and the table above. Cinadon36 14:12, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's no problem at all. Thank you for the civil discussion as well. —HackerKnownAs (talk) 16:29, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edited the table to include Japanese and Spanish sources, although it's still unclear to me whether these sources are reliable or not. Could someone who understands Japanese or Spanish chime in on the discussion? Thank you. —HackerKnownAs (talk) 21:01, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Numerous sources are there already on the topic. I think that this article can improve but it does show what factors play a role when scholars gauge that people are religious or not. Plus it is used in things like psychology [80].Ramos1990 (talk) 00:37, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into "religion". It may be regarded as a WP:CFORK; Wikipedia is not Wiktionary. "Religiosity" is a substantivisation of "religious", which in turn is an adjective meaning one who believes/belongs/practises a "religion"; therefore the concept can find a place within the article about "religion". The corresponding articles in other languages are probably translations of the English one.--Æo (talk) 16:55, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails to meet GNG as a stand alone topic. Serratra (talk) 04:41, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Definitely needs a rewrite but this is notable as the sociological study of religious adherence and religious disposition. A merge to religion would not be appropriate, since religion is a very broad article about the phenomenon of religion as a whole; this is is much more specifically about studying the human tendency towards religious beliefs/practices. If you want to call it a WP:CFORK then it is a legitimate one, and there is nothing wrong with a massive topic like religion (which is the subject of an entire academic discipline) having subsidiary articles about specific approaches to its study. On the question of notability, there are clearly sufficient sources to show that this meets the WP:GNG; plenty in the article, and the first page of Google Scholar results has the following: [81], [82], [83], [84]; there will almost certainly be more.
