Delete and replace with a redirect either to 2022 United States Senate election in Georgia or 2024 Libertarian Party presidential primaries.

Article was re-created despite the subject having obtained no new claims to notability since its previous deletion. Article was previously deleted in May 2023.

This is a minor political figure that fails WP:NPOL and WP:NPOL notability criteria. SecretName101 (talk) 18:48, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians, Libertarianism, United States of America, and Georgia (U.S. state). SecretName101 (talk) 18:48, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Salt: Fails GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Coverage he has got was trivial and/or routine coverage of an election candidate who happened to play a spoiler role to force a run-off but that doesn't transfer notability. Due to prior recreation it should be salted to prevent another re-creation. Macktheknifeau (talk) 18:55, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Not enough has changed yet to justify recreation. So it should have remained a redirect, but recreation would be justified if he won the Libertarian Party nomination for President at their national convention. For that reason I respectfully disagree with the hard-deletion you suggest. Disclosure: I consider myself to be a Libertarian and went to some of their events in Michigan a few years ago. I don't see that as a COI here. Libertyguy (talk) 01:30, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    obviously, I indeed agree that he is not yet notable enough. Maybe one day, but we do not create articles on spec. “Well he might be notable if such and such future event hypothetically happens…” is not a rationale to retain or create an article in advance. We’ll cross that bridge if we get to that juncture. I also agree a hard delete might not be wise. But there always is the ability even then to request undeletion.

  • Keep as passing WP:GNG/WP:ANYBIO based on articles already within article.. He is a leading candidate for President for the nomination of the third largest political party in the United States so salting is a ridiculous suggestion.--User:Namiba 19:37, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Namiba "leading candidate" (very little to reenforce that claim) for a third-party nomination many months out from the party's nomination (and at a time where no significant political figures are in the race) is not really notable. There is already a page dedicated to their primaries. The primaries are notable, he is not. SecretName101 (talk) 21:40, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Keep in mind, Jacob Hornberger (the top finisher in the 2020 primaries) is not notable enough to have his own article. Someone who is supposedly a "leading candidate" in the Libertarian party way before a single vote is cast in the primary, or the nominating convention is held, certainly doesn't garner inherent notability. SecretName101 (talk) 19:43, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    To quote you from below from 4 minutes earlier: WP:Otherstuff is not a rationale that justifies the creation or retention of an article. SecretName101 (talk) 19:39, 29 September 2023 (UTC) What's the standard here? Double? Djflem (talk) 06:15, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I pointed out that there is a clear understanding on Wikipedia that inherent notability is not gained by being a leading contender in a libertarian primary. No double standard in that. I was not saying “this similar thing blah blah blah”, but rather pointing that there are past top-tier libertarian candidates still fail to be notable enough, which illustrates that there indeed is not an inherent notability to be gained from being a leading candidate. It’s not just Hornberger, many others who received sizable vote shares in the past have been judged to fall below notability (2008 top-finisher Christine Smith is another prime example). Oliver hasn’t even received a single vote, so has immensely less claim to being a top contender even if there were inherent notability. SecretName101 (talk) 02:14, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: He doesn't pass ANYBIO/POLITICIAN because he's never been elected to anything. And he fails GNG. WP is not a crystal ball and with the history of re-creation it WP:SALT is a valid additional step. Note that salting does not prevent an article being recreated, it simply requires that it not be recreated without a convincing creation request including a draft. Macktheknifeau (talk) 19:13, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Being elected to office is not a prerequisite for having an article on Wikipedia. Jo Jorgensen, for example, has never been elected to office. Being a political activist and candidate is a claim to notability. Are there multiple sources which discuss the subject in an in-depth manner? There are definitely those sources. That's the standard per WP:GNG and that's why it is an obvious keep.--User:Namiba 19:37, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Being elected to office is not a prerequisite for having an article on Wikipedia." True. I'm not referring to GNG though, I'm referring to WP:SNG, in particular WP:ANYBIO/WP:POLITICIAN. So in addition to failing GNG because the sources are all trivial/routine/insignificant/non-independent coverage of a failed election candidate and his policies, he also specifically fails WP:POLITICIAN, making this a slam dunk delete & salt. Jo Jorgensen has the same issues with her sources being trivial/routine coverage of a failed politician during failed election campaigns, but she's not up for AFD. Macktheknifeau (talk) 11:07, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
GNG supersedes the other mentioned guideline. That he doesn't get a free pass via NPOL has already been established, end of story, period, done. No further discussion citing NPOL is needed. How exactly are the sources non-independent? Interesting a back up for that claim (for staters). Djflem (talk) 07:59, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as passing WP:GNG/WP:ANYBIO based on references in article. Djflem (talk) 19:12, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Djflem Can you be more specific as to what his notability would be at the virtue of? SecretName101 (talk) 21:38, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    By virtue of the fact that he has received significant coverage by reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. Djflem (talk) 07:34, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I see no significant attention beyond routine campaign coverage. SecretName101 (talk) 15:54, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    No significant attention? Chase has campaigned across Iowa, became the FIRST party candidate to be invited to the Des Moines Political Soapbox, caused the Georgia 2022 senate run-off, and has gotten plenty of media coverage in BOTH his senate and Presidential campaigns. If some nobody like Ryan Binkley is being allowed to have a wiki page, then by god someone who’s had way more influence in elections like Chase should have one too, it is only right! TheGuardianOfTheWiki (talk) 16:38, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    "became the FIRST party candidate to be invited to the Des Moines Political Soapbox" WP:NotNews that's a news factoid without longterm significance. Wikipedia is not a collection of fun-facts. Ryan Binkley having a page is questionable as well, but WP:Otherstuff is not a rationale that justifies the creation or retention of an article.
    Again, routine campaign coverage does not confer greater notability outside of the election itself. The event (election) is notable, not Oliver. SecretName101 (talk) 19:39, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @TheGuardianOfTheWiki: So that's a keep ivote? Djflem (talk) 19:55, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, it is! Keep it! I 100% support keeping Chase Oliver's Wikipedia page, and I cannot stress it enough, I am a KEEP vote! TheGuardianOfTheWiki (talk) 00:35, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Note Wikipedia:HEY: and significant difference in versions not addressed by nominator: April 28, 2023 <>September 27, 2023
Nothing has changed since the previous deletion that would grant the subject greater/sufficient notability. SecretName101 (talk) 21:42, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
HEY is an essay, it means nothing. Macktheknifeau (talk) 11:09, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What means nothing is the absurd opinion that the HEY process isn't relevant in AFDs.Djflem (talk) Djflem (talk) 19:52, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I can write an essay saying "what I say has to be done" and called it WP:MYOPINIONISRIGHT. Doesn't mean anyone has to care or read it or take it into account. Macktheknifeau (talk) 05:28, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, nobody would care about your essay, whereas HEY addresses Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Citing sources, Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources,Wikipedia:Deletion process and any of a number of guidelines that influence AfD outcomes in a simple common sense that anyone with the vaguest notion of how Wikipedia works would understand and respect. Djflem (talk) 06:50, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think we've got your point, it might be time for you to disengage from this discussion and let it run it's course. This isn't a courtroom, there's no need for such aggressive defence. Macktheknifeau (talk) 09:31, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to know why a third-party candidate with international press attention, who is the first such candidate to qualify to speak at the Iowa State Fair Political Soapbox - one of the most important events of the early Presidential primary season - is under consider for having his Wiki article deleted. The stated purpose of Wikipedia is to act as a compendium of all branches of knowledge, not to decide which candidate is relevant. Tarnellbrown (talk) 06:25, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. Chase Oliver is not an ordinary candidate, and if the criteria for inclusion in WP is “has won an election”, then there are quite a few politically active non-office-holders who should be up for deletion.
Deletion — particularly at this juncture in the current US political climate — simply looks like an attempt to shut down ideas or people from outside the power structure. 73.60.218.98 (talk) 16:25, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@73.60.218.98 Wikpedia is not Ballotpedia. Non-notable subjects do not get articles just by declaring candidacies. SecretName101 (talk) 20:11, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they haven't won — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable office, not just running for one, while candidates get articles only if either (a) they can demonstrate passage of some other notability criterion that would already have gotten them an article independently of the candidacy (e.g. prior established notability in another context, such as Cynthia Nixon), or (b) they can show credible evidence that their candidacy can be seen as such a special case of such uniquely greater significance than everybody else's candidacies that it would pass the ten year test for enduring significance.
    No, the existence of the merely expected run of the mill campaign coverage does not confer an automatic WP:GNG-based exemption from WP:NPOL either, as every candidate in every election can always show enough coverage to take a stab at that argument — meaning that if that were how it worked, then every candidate would always get exempted from NPOL, and NPOL itself would be meaningless. So the test isn't "is his name present in the news cycle today?" — it's "if he loses the election and then never accomplishes another more notable thing again for the rest of his life, so that the candidacy itself represents his peak notability claim for all time, then will people still be looking for information about it in 2033 and 2043 and 2053?", and nothing here demonstrably passes that test. Bearcat (talk) 14:18, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    NPOL doesn't work that way. NPOL only confers presumed notability (in US terms) for state level or higher elected or appointed officials. That's the only thing that NPOL does. There is no such thing as an 'exemption' for NPOL. One fulfills the criteria or doesn't. Period. End of story. Move on. Totally misconstrued presentation of that guideline and elaborate useless explanation since no one in this AFD is claiming that Oliver is granted that presumed notability, and subsequent free pass to have an article. Djflem (talk) 17:58, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    NPOL does work exactly the way I said: its job encompasses both who in politics qualifies for an article and who in politics does not qualify for an article. So nothing I said was incorrect at all: we have seen articles which attempted to claim that people had held NPOL-passing offices they had not actually held, so even an NPOL-passing politician still has to have their holding of a role properly verified in reliable sources — and the argument being attempted in this discussion is that the existence of campaign coverage means that this subject doesn't have to be measured against NPOL, and "exemption from NPOL" is just another way of saying that same thing.
    And it's established consensus that the existence of campaign coverage is not sufficient to bypass NPOL in and of itself — every candidate in every election always receives enough campaign coverage to argue that they don't have to satisfy NPOL by virtue of GNG, so if that were how it worked then NPOL itself would be entirely meaningless because nobody would ever have to be measured against it at all anymore. That is not some random standard I made up myself to be ornery — it's the established consensus of thousands of AFD discussions on unelected candidates, the majority of which I didn't even participate in at all. Bearcat (talk) 13:00, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Take NOTE of this addition to above cited essay Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill, (made without discusion at its talk page), which was written the above author who appears to be referencing themself. Djflem (talk) 07:59, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    No, it is YOU who does not get Wikipedia. Wikiepdia is meant to be a place where anyone in the world is able to find information on a subject. Chase Oliver isn't just "standing as a candidate", Chase is traveling across America, campaigning, and is getting coverage from it. Before that, Chase didn't just stand in as a candidate in the Georgia Senate Race, he caused a run-off which earned him INTERNATIONAL media attention. As far as I can tell, he is plenty deserving of a Wikipedia page so people who are interested in him have a place to easily learn about him. That is the point of Wikipedia, isn't it? To give people a place to learn about stuff that they wanna learn? TheGuardianOfTheWiki (talk) 00:38, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The runoff was of international note. And there is an article about the election.
    Chase, however, did not obtain international note. SecretName101 (talk) 06:16, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    And if people want to learn about the senate election, Wikipedia has an article on it. It’s notable. Oliver is not, however. Those who wish to learn more can go to ballotpedia or some other site that covers him. SecretName101 (talk) 06:18, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    You seem to be extremely aggressively defending this article. Do you have a COI in regards to the candidate or the Libertarian Party? Macktheknifeau (talk) 07:04, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don’t think we should suspect a COI. People can get very fierce in arguing their viewpoint in a deletion discussion without a COI. SecretName101 (talk) 18:54, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Ordinarily of course that is the case, I think when a user has made 13 comments on a page with only 8 actual 'votes', and has repeatedly returned to aggressively attack other users viewpoints that simply asking the question "@Djflem do you have any interest in the Libertarian Party or this candidate" is not out of line. If he has not, then so be it. Macktheknifeau (talk) 12:57, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I get Wikipedia perfectly. It isn't our job to have information about "everything" — our job is to retain information about topics that pass our notability criteria, and to not retain information about topics that don't pass our notability criteria. Bearcat (talk) 13:00, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep: The first AfD determined that, although Oliver had received significant coverage in national and international sources, the coverage was mainly for one particular event and thus was a case of WP:BLP1E. Which was a fair assessement, and the resulting redirect was justified. Since that time, he has received additional major media coverage for his campaign in multiple outlets. This coverage would justifiably be considered mere routine reporting for a major party candidate, particularly one having some degree of pre-established notability. For a third-party candidate without clear pre-existing notability, however, the amount of in-depth coverage he has received at this stage in the election cycle is far from typical. Indeed, outside of Cornel West, one would be hard-pressed to find another officially-declared third party presidential candidate who has drawn more coverage at this point. Add to this the fact that much of this coverage stems from him achieving a political "first", and it seems fair to say that it goes beyond the typical run-of-the-mill campaign coverage. At least enough to cross the WP:BASIC threshold. Sal2100 (talk) 20:55, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    the one event rule isn’t a rule that states “however, connection with a second event completely changes whether someone is notable”. You still need to measure whether they are individually notable, or whether the events with which they are tied are the only things of note. Otherwise, we’d be seeing countless perennial candidates get articles once they launch their second non-significant candidacies.
    contrary to your characterization, there really is not much if any in-depth coverage, it’s all cursory. There are some local/regional curiosity pieces. But these fail to assign genuine note to him or his candidacy. Articles do not treat him or his candidacy as a major factor in the election either.
    he has achieved no “first” that would garner him note. If you are referring to the Iowa state fair speech, that’s a mere fun-fact: a mere one-sentence mention on an article about the state fair soapbox itself would be the maximum coverage justified. SecretName101 (talk) 06:14, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Just like the confusion about NPOL, which above attempts to make the make argument that it is an exclusionary SNG (it's not, it's an inclusionary guideline), also often misconstrued and mentioned, Wikipedia:ROUTINE and Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill speak to items and events, not persons. And now comes the claim, despite the facts, that "there really is not much if any in-depth coverage, it’s all cursory. There are some local/regional curiosity pieces". Nationwide significant in-depth newspaper articles & an interview in Rolling Stone are not "ordinary coverage" about a campaign/election at all, but about the person and his effect, thus satisfying above mentioned Wikipedia:BASIC.

    Reason.com is a libertarian magazine, of course they would profile a libertarian candidate. The NYT, Reason.com, and Rolling Stone article do not demonstrate any actual notability outside of the election itself. Bay Area Reporter is a curiosity piece that does not have any "meat" to establish notability. And, as I said, articles like the Bay Area Reporter article do not establish him as a major factor in the 2024 election. SecretName101 (talk) 15:59, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A curiosity piece is not significant coverage.
    PWhat is discussed in an article needs to be weighed. Profile pieces that do not actually assign importance within their prose/ do not outline anything of note the subject has actually done are simply not enough to satisfy notability standards. SecretName101 (talk) 16:03, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are setting the bar for articles on political candidates so far and above what is outlined in WP:GNG that I don't think most elected officials would meet it. It is highly unusual for a candidate in one state to be profiled in national publications, especially as often as Oliver has been.--User:Namiba 19:00, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The libertarian-leaning publication disqualification and the convoluted "curiosity piece" criteria are defined nowhere in Wikipedia (except above) and not supported by it guidelines. Despite the disingenuous description the full length articles in major national publications that are about and fully feature Oliver are reliable sources that determine that he garners enough attention that goes way beyond ordinary election coverage and satisfy the policy guiding notability. Their dismissal is simply an expression of Wikipedia:I just don't like it. Djflem (talk) 04:35, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They are trivial/routine coverage of an election candidate (and a pro-libertarian Party website is not reliable/independent when discussing a Libertarian Party candidate), not "significant" coverage. They might provide some color/fluff to the page of the election, but don't do anything to establish notability for a non-notable individual. Macktheknifeau (talk) 07:06, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Djflem (talk) 16:40, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reason is a libertarian mouthpiece interviewing a libertarian party candidate. "An independent source is one that has no vested interest in the subject". It's quite obvious that a libertarian party mouthpiece has a vested interest in the success of libertarian candidate, raising both independence and reliability issues. Macktheknifeau (talk) 18:15, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What proof do you have that Reason.com is directly linked to the Libertarian Party? There is nothing on the page's Wikipedia entry about it. It seems that you're exaggerating without evidence to try to win an argument.--User:Namiba 18:20, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It’s small “l” libertarian. SecretName101 (talk) 18:38, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Pure conjecture. Djflem (talk) 18:23, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Curiosity pieces indeed do not satisfy Wikipedia’s notability standards for an obvious reason: the content of the article fails to verify/establish anything that is actually notable about the individual being profiled.
“Joe Shmo has three dogs and four kids. He is a lawyer who has done little of note in that field. He is on the board of his local YMCA, and was elected to the Pleasentview, Illinois school board”. Five articles like that could be published: still would not establish notability for the hypothetical Joe Shmo, because nothing in the profile is of particular note. SecretName101 (talk) 18:44, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
He is not a candidate in one state. He is running for president in multiple states. SecretName101 (talk) 18:41, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I don't see a consensus, just a divide between editors arguing that SIGCOV exists so Keep and editors insisting on Deletion. Just a note that I'm uncomfortable disallowing coverage because of a perceived bias as just about any mainstream newspaper and many magazines could be seen to have a perceived bias. That doesn't mean that they are not independent, secondary sources.

I am uncomfortable about allowing a precedent that routine coverage of an election & it's candidates can be blown up into passing notability for people who are utterly irrelevant outside of their failed election campaigns.

    when did “being written over an extended period of time” become a claim to notability?

    1. "小玲玲傷殘奧運奪金 特殊學校出英才" [Xiao Lingling wins gold medal in Paralympic Games and special schools produce talents]. Hong Kong Economic Times (in Chinese). 2001-03-05. p. C5.

      The article notes: "黎惠玲因被评定为轻度弱智，不适合在普通小学接受　育，早在小一已给转介到特殊学校──才俊学校就读。但发掘玲玲别具打乒乓球天份的，就正正是才俊学校的体育老师。... 梁校长相信，要学生有心求学，他们必先要有好的体魄，才有条件发展别的项目，因此也就格外重视学生的适体能训练。于是，才俊亦特别　意发掘个别学生的运动才能，由此，才俊组成了不少校队，例如：田径队、足球队、榄球队、泳队、乒乓球队等。老师会挑选小四或以上学生，按其个别兴趣及长处安排入队。"

      From Google Translate: "Because Lai Wai Ling [zh] was judged to be mildly mentally handicapped and not suitable for education in an ordinary primary school, she had been referred to a special school, Caijun School, as early as Primary 1. But it was the physical education teacher at Caijun School who discovered Lingling's unique talent for playing table tennis. ... Principal Liang believes that if students want to be determined to study, they must first have good physical fitness before they can develop other sports.

No claim of notability. Schools aren't automatically notable. Subject fails NCORP and GNG. The sister article in bn-wiki is similarly poorly written and sourced. From my BEFORE search in Bengala, I found little that was independent and reliable. I am not sure about Samay updates. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:50, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep : Disclosing COI. From neutral point of view, this school is highly notable and respected. It got the best school award twice from the WB-Govt. Very old school with thousands of students. Recently, one alumnus got the Bhatnagar Award, 2023. The students of the school are wide spread not only in Bengal or India, but in the West with their reputed posts.

Is there an Indian equivalent to Newspapers.com, e.g. a database that has archives of Indian newspapers? Or is there an archive for whatever the local newspaper of record is for the high school's city/region? As I mentioned when I declined the PROD, a 79-year-old high school with 1,300 students very likely has some notability-qualifying coverage out there, but it doesn't appear easily findable, and without it this discussion will likely find consensus to delete. That sort of database is where such coverage would likely show up. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 15:54, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, finally published the original name. Clearly said, Muralidharananda is a Sanskrit word which he got after his Sannyasa vow, meaning, get happiness to think about, who is holding the flute which refers to KRISHNA. Compare to this, the other name (Sorry, I don't want to write the name again) which I saw yesterday and really shocked, as I respect Wikipedia, was a bengali word, meaning I don't want to share because that word itself showed disrespect to the Headmaster of the School.

  • Delete as well. It's lacking in-depth coverage as is pretty thin, even in the sources mentioned above. Schools in practice tend to often have a little bit lower bar for notability, but sources like this just don't have any WP:ORGDEPTH or even focus on the school itself really. Wikipedia:Schools#Notability has more guidance on this, but I really don't see anything that's hinting at notability floating around out there from the geographic or org notability guidelines.

Thank you for the notes. As the user who initially submitted the page, I feel responsible to help contribute to its wellbeing and it remaining on Wikipedia. London International Awards is a noteworthy and long-standing awards company in the advertising industry, in line with Cannes Lions and Clio. I will search for a variety of secondary sources and update the page accordingly. I will confirm here once I get through as much as possible. Thank you! Chilled Bean (talk) 23:58, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that the sources need to not only be secondary, but also need to be independent of the subject. So the adage.com article you added after this deletion notice, whose very first line is "In 2009, I helped the London International Awards define..." is right out from a notability perspective, because in essence that source can be summed up as "I think company X is awesome. I also work for company X." Every company thinks they themselves are awesome, of course, so we don't care what the company or those affiliated with it say about it--we care what independent sources that have a track record of being reliable and have gone to the trouble of dedicating a substantial portion of a work to that subject directly (to prevent cherry-picking) say about it. 2603:8001:4542:28fb (talk) 16:47, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Delete (and thank you for nominating this). I did a search for sources yesterday and mostly came up with the same results. Of the sources currently in the article, two are unrelated to the company, one is primary, and the others are to websites such as BizCommunity and AdGully whose articles I legitimately couldn't tell if they were company-sponsored or not. (AdGully, for example, claims it will accept press releases but makes no guarantee they will be published, but that still seems rather dubious to me.) At any rate, they still all fall under the WP:ROUTINE classification Mack provided, and I certainly didn't find any sources confirming it to be the "world's leading awards show" it claims to be. 2603:8001:4542:28fb 07:06, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Delete the article does not clearly establish the notability of the awards in the broader context of the industry and cultural impact.

WP:BLP of a person not properly sourced as passing Wikipedia inclusion criteria. The closest thing to a notability claim here is that he was the designated substitute to a member of the French Parliament: that is, he was the guy who would have succeeded Élisabeth Pochon if she had resigned the seat or died in the middle of her term, but that isn't an "inherently" notable role in its own right. If Pochon had vacated the seat and Bouton had accordingly become an MP, then he would obviously pass WP:NPOL #1, but that didn't happen, so there's nothing "inherently" notable about being the substitute-in-waiting.
The rest of the content here is candidacies in elections he didn't win, his work for various organizations and committees, and a statement of the "first member of [underrepresented minority group] to do a non-notable thing" variety, none of which is notability-clinching stuff without proper sourcing either, and the referencing is parked almost entirely on directly affiliated primary sources that aren't support for notability, with absolutely no evidence of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about him shown at all: the only citation in the entire article that technically comes from a reliable source is here solely to tangentially verify a stray fact, and completely fails to name Raphaël Bouton at all in conjunction with it, and thus does not help to boost his notability either.
In addition, it warrants note that (a) there's no article about him on the French Wikipedia, where one would obviously be expected if he actually had any genuine notability in French politics, and (b) the article was created by a WP:SPA with a direct conflict of interest.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced far, far better than this. Bearcat (talk) 14:43, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update: just a note to add that on further investigation, an article did once exist on the French Wikipedia, but then got deleted on the grounds that he was only a substitute and didn't have any properly sourced indication of any other valid notability claims, and then never came back.

WP:BLP of a filmmaker, not properly sourced as passing our inclusion criteria for filmmakers. As always, filmmakers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on substantive coverage and analysis about their work in reliable sources -- but this is referenced entirely to IMDb, and makes no meaningful notability claim beyond the fact of his existence.
While there are a lot of notable films in the filmography list, his credit on nearly all of them was "second unit/assistant director", which is in no way an "inherently" notable role that would constitute a "no sourcing required" freebie -- and while he later had some "associate producer" credits followed by one credit as a lead producer, that still isn't an inclusion freebie in the absence of adequate sourcing.
The article has been tagged for referencing improvement since 2016 without ever being improved -- and while the film he was a full producer on does have an article in which his name is listed in the infobox, this article gets so little attention that his name was never even wikilinked there.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a lot more than just an IMDb profile for sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 15:05, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

etc. (the GoogleBooks link lists many books that mention him) (for Waterworld, Gloria, Cast Away, Master and Commander, among other films)
I understand these are passing mentions but the guideline is clear: "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series);" The point is that his contributions to the making of very notable films is verifiable. Also a nomination for 2003 Directors Guild of America Awards-Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film: Nominated is mentioned, which is an indication.-My, oh my!

  • Delete. Until and unless better sources which focus on him (i.e. not just name checks in articles about films he's worked on) can be found there isn't enough to support an article here. The DGA award nomination is probably the best claim to automatic notability, but the media consistently covers that award as being presented to the primary director and not their team. Also, I am not really comfortable allowing a BLP through on inferred notability in the absence of more coverage in reliable sources than I could find here.

  • @Bearcat: I've substantially improved the content and sourcing to satisfy WP:NBIO, after you originally posted the article here on AfD to highlight the problems. Would you like to provide an updated rationale for deletion, or would you agree that the updates have resolved the issues that you helpfully identified? —173.56.111.206 (talk) 20:18, 28 September 2023 (UTC) = 98.113.83.5 from another location (no intention to sockpuppet)[reply]
That's not how the AFD process works. Once I've listed it for discussion, I don't have to come back and evaluate whether any changes are "good enough for me" or not — the only thing that matters at all is where consensus of the participants in the discussion lands. I could withdraw the nomination if there were total unanimity that I was in error, by virtue of there being only keeps in the discussion with no deletes at all — but if there are any other delete votes I cannot close the discussion myself, and have to leave it for another administrator to evaluate the final consensus. So, since this was relisted today, the discussion has to remain open for at least another week, and there's absolutely nothing I can do to shorten that. Bearcat (talk) 20:38, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't asking you to shorten or close the discussion. I was asking if you agreed that your original rationale for deletion has been addressed.

The current version of the article is greatly expanded, addresses all the concerns raised above, and satisfies all the cited standards -- WP:BLP, WP:RS, WP:GNG, WP:NBIO and its specific WP:FILMMAKER section. I would posit that a rough consensus now exists, since no comments (including the nominator's) have argued for deleting the expanded version of the article, only the much weaker previous versions that are no longer relevant.

    "Speedy deletion of Epesi BIM
    A tag has been placed on Epesi BIM, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
    If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Twinzor (talk) 13:49, 21 June 2008 (UTC)"

    I did not say that because i made monetary contributions to Wikipedia the article should not be deleted. Here is my full response:
    Please do not delete the article.
    I am the founder of the Epesi project working on it since 2006 as a way to pay back open source community and especially developers who gave birth to Linux, PHP, MySQL and countless other great software.
    I will update it and ask for review to conform to community guidelines. If you can help me with that I will appreciate it very much.
    Apparently: "Parts of this article reads like an advertisement..."
    I will remove any parts that seem to be an ad with your guidance.
    Epesi is free and open source software used by hundreds of organizations worldwide. We barely survive and struggle to provide updates to users for over 15 years now. Please note that approx. 80 percent of open source projects fail within a year. Lack of time and funding for the project, which is so common in FOSS world, is also a reason why the article has not been updated or better written. I see a conflict of interest in one public service project like Wikipedia not supporting other public service projects like Epesi released under MIT license, one of a very few applications running on LAMP stack that does not require a licensing module, monthly subscriptions etc. We have users with installations over 10 and 15 years old serving practically every business sector.
    Maybe a prove of it's worthiness will be a fact that University of Engineering and Technology in Hanoi, Vietnam, is using Epesi CRM apparently as SIS (Student Information System), however without providing a required credit, thus illegally
    [1]https://student.uet.vnu.edu.vn/
    To compare reload the page and compare the source code for Epesi CRM demo:
    [2]https://en.demo.epesicrm.com/
    Many developers used Epesi CRM as a kickstarter for very elaborate ERP applications like:
    [3]https://xsystems.io/
    which was created by Georgi Hristov, Epesi contributor on Github.
    I will remove all references and phrases that seem like a promotion or advertising. But please do not delete the article as Epesi is referenced in some scientific literature regarding FOSS ERP - here are two examples:
    [Open_Source_Enterprise_Software][4]
    [Open_Source_ERP_Systeme][5]
    Removal of the page will be a great disfavor to potential users who can benefit from the software, who are predominantly small business owners and startups trying to come up with their own, home grown solutions. Our mission at Epesi is what I am doing professionally for over 30 years - making it easy for them.
    With Regards,
    Janusz Tylek

    Unfortunately, consensus on Wikipedia is generally that specific missions are not privileged with regards to inclusion guidelines, whether or not we find them a noble cause. However @Jtylek, while I am not familiar with the guidelines there or the expected style, so would not be much help transferring things there, the FSF's Free Software Directory would at first glance be a suitable project, though I would counsel discussing it with them before fully getting hopes up. The import function (again, at first glance) appears to be not available, so if intending to keep same content migration would be manual, but I can't see any single licenced text in the current article so there shouldn't be any copyright issues. If it meets their criteria, even if it ends in a delete here, which from the available sources it likely will, the content can at least find a new home. Best of luck.

    Why do Wikipedia editors find an article about the 17-year-old Free and Open Source project Epesi written in an inappropriate tone, not just edit it?

    Hi Janusz,
    Thanks for your response.
    Let me explain to you as you can also see the tag on the top of your page, which states, "Tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia," which comes Sep 2014. They have given you a warning to improve your article by excluding the promotional tone. The conclusion would be that your page will get deleted at any time soon.
    Your page was also created by you or someone else in your company, which violates Wikipedia guidelines. It has to be done by a third party. A renowned Wikipedia editor, Oaktree b, put a comment on your page for deletion. You can view his editor account as well as the Barnstar that he has received from the Wikipedia community. Hence, your page is under the observation section by the Wiki moderators and admin.
    Whatever we do, your page will get deleted. Another mistake that you have made is you recently attempted an edit on your page as your page is under surveillance. Again you're violating the COI policy of Wikipedia. This thing can lead to your entry being banned on Wikipedia and once they do, you can never make an entry under the name of Epesi.
    What we are going to do over here is create your entry from scratch following Wikipedia standards.
    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Hi Janusz,
    Thanks for your response.
    Well, as you are already aware of the situation and you have already noticed, your Wikipedia entry was already nominated for a speedy deletion process, and another editor has also voted against your entry, which is actually now making your case more critical and concerning if the immediate aren't taken at the right time. This new delete vote has also highlighted the concern of COI, which again is raising indications related to the violation of the neutrality guidelines of Wikipedia.
    Now, the actions that can be taken in order to preserve and secure your entry is that your page requires voting from different Wikipedia editors/ bureaucrats in your favor in order to balance out the situation. Also, what we can do to save your entry further is that your entry requires additional editing in a proper, neutral manner. Also, the tone of the page needs to be improvised, and that thing must be eliminated, which is making your page promotional. Moreover, it also needs to be cited properly through the references that are currently available for which detailed research needs to be conducted.
    These were some immediate actions that need to be taken as early as possible in order to save your entry. However, if you want us to assist you with your case, we can certainly guide you on the services that we provide. In addition, we can also assure you one more thing in case your entry gets deleted/ removed during the process, so we can also assist you with recreating your page from scratch in line with Wikipedia standards and protocols. Our main motive would be to protect and secure your initial entry first so the changes that we plan out can be implemented accordingly.  
    Lastly, if you wish to move forward I can get you started with the plan I have mentioned above, and our complete services will cost you $1,499 only.
    Kindly confirm so I may get you started accordingly.

    This is a case of racketeering:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeering
    Racketeering is a type of organized crime in which the persons set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionary, or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme or operation (a "racket") to repeatedly or consistently collect a profit.
    Originally and often still specifically, racketeering may refer to an organized criminal act in which the perpetrators offer a service that will not be put into effect, offer a service to solve a nonexistent problem, or offer a service that solves a problem that would not exist without the racket. However, racketeers may offer an ostensibly effectual service to solve an existing problem. The traditional and historically most common example of such a racket is the "protection racket", in which racketeers offer to protect a business from robbery or vandalism; however, the racketeers will themselves coerce or threaten the business into accepting this service, often with the threat (implicit or otherwise) that failure to acquire the offered services will lead to the racketeers themselves contributing to the existing problem. In many cases, the potential problem may be caused by the same party that offers to solve it, but that fact may be concealed, with the intent to engender continual patronage. The protection racket is thus often a method of extortion, at least in practice.
    https://www.reddit.com/r/ScamsEtc/comments/127ilte/wikipedia_consultancy_scam/
    So here's an interesting scam that seems to be making the rounds.
    This scam is very subtle, because some sites do seem to offer a legitimate variant.
    Basically, certain websites appear to be claiming they can win anyone notoriety by offering to write Wikipedia pages for exorbitant sums of money.

Thanks for taking a look. As I said when I created the initial entry though, it's work in progress! I've now added more text to explain his significance as a major collector of Hausa artifacts in the 60s and 70s. The British Museum has acquired nearly 400 Hausa objects from him, which sounds quite significant to me. If you click on the related objects tab in the BM entry for him (https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/BIOG124267), you'll see them. Mackthefinger (talk) 13:44, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would tend to agree with the comment above and support the idea that we keep the page, as Heathcote is clearly an expert on Hausa embroideries, but if his publications, artwork or collection are judged insufficiently notable, then, at least, maybe redirect the article to Slade School of Fine Art#Notable alumni, where a minimal description with this and this as sources, for example, can be added. -My, oh my!

  • Comment I removed the exhaustive CV items and rearranged the remaining items. Added authority control.

    Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I'm happy with the reduced list of exhibitions, but the list of publications was there to demonstrate a genuine knowledge of Hausa textiles in particular. It's the sort of pre-internet bibliographic info about non-Western art or craft that isn't readily available elsewhere online - at least, not for free. For info the BM objects I checked were all made in the 1960s or 1970s and some may have been bought from the makers, thus supporting their practice. I'm a curator myself and understand your concern, but I don't see this as appropriation. On the contrary, Heathcote was taking an interest in Hausa culture and encouraging others to do the same. Mackthefinger (talk) 13:58, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmmm. A random look shows a drawing that was sold to the BM by Heathcote with no real provenance. Heathcote is described as a "vendor and collector". So, as an academic, he creates the market by writing about it. He buys up examples and then turns around and sells them to the BM where they are not on display. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 18:36, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking the trouble to take a closer look at one of the 391 objects now in the BM. I'm not sure it's appropriate to speculate about the collector's motives here, but I doubt if Heathcote was hoping to make money when acquiring the drawing in the 1970s. I'm very happy to accept your revisions though!
With best wishes, and thanks again. Mackthefinger (talk) 14:44, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
True, we can't know what Heathcote's intentions were. But it is now the 21st century, and museums and their acquisition practices are facing a reckoning. The example of the Benin Bronzes shows how "baked in" the idea of buying and stealing culture was assumed to be for the good. Sure, the example of Heathcote's collection of present day Hausa objects is not the same as Lord Elgin marching off with Ancient Greek sculptures from the Parthenon, but it is the long end of the tail. Also, I have looked through a fair number of the records and still don't see any examples of the Hausa art on display.
Over time the lens of art history changes. Bernard Berenson once had a good reputation.
Best wishes to you, too. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:40, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

However I do think it is important to discuss Hausa art and the reality that much of it is held in Western museums.

Thanks for the relisting. As I said earlier, he's a major collector of (modern) Hausa objects, nearly 400 of which are now in the British Museum and listed on their website. That still seems to be "worthy of notice" to me. I would have preferred to retain a (pre-Internet and sometimes not so easy to verify) list of his publications too, as these demonstrate his genuine knowledge of the subject. If necessary I'd be happy just to list the ones included in the British Museum's biography of him, which are thus verified. He also happens to be an artist, so some of the biographical info inevitably comes from recent catalogues of exhibitions.
I'm a curator myself and, for what it's worth, I think collectors are generally under-represented in Wikipedia. There are several others I'd like to add, including some who aren't so well known as they should be.

  • Keep (weak): An entry at the British Museum [11]. This page also lists in his bibliography:

Bibliography

  • 'A Leatherworker of Zaria City', The Nigerian Field, xxxix 1974, No.1 pp.12-16, and No.3, pp.99-117.
  • ‘Hausa Embroidered Dress’, in ‘African Arts’, Vol. 5, No. 2 (Winter, 1972), pp. 12-19+82+84
  • ‘A Hausa Charm Gown’, in ‘Man’, New Series, Vol. 9, No. 4 (Dec., 1974), pp. 620-624. [Apropos BM 2008,2025.23]

His collection has ended up in some notable places, I'd be surprised if there wasn't commentary about them in art journals. Agree on the idea of trimming the article. Closer should consider this is a weak keep.  // Timothy :: talk  17:47, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many sources in the article are primary, there's a reception section but it only lists what list the character was part of. A quick Google search does not give any sources that prove individual notability, and per WP:N, it is not worth a standalone article. If the character is not notable, I suggest a redirect and/or merge to List of Law & Order characters. Spinixster (chat!) 10:30, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Macktheknifeau Can you give proof? Right now, the reliable sources are so:
    • an interview with a producer who mentions the character as her favorite.
    • an obituary of the actor that briefly mentions the character.
    • a book which is a biography of the actor, which is arguably primary. Either way, the book only mentions the character in plot summaries.
    The rest are character lists.
    More sources that talk extensively about the character in a real-world perspective would be needed to meet GNG. Spinixster (chat!) 11:36, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, easily. I see plenty of avenues for sources not already included in the article. BD2412 T 23:56, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The source you added talk more about the casting rather than the character. SIGCOV needs to be about the character from a real-world perspective, not the hiring of the actor. Spinixster (chat!) 01:09, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Firstly, there is no such rule, nor would it make sense. Of course casting is an important element of a character, and content on casting is significant to the notability of the character. Secondly, I am in the middle of adding content relevant to the development of the character. BD2412 T 01:19, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There is such a rule, it's listed in the SNG for fiction (WP:FICT). Having sources on casting and development does not guarantee notability, rather more sources on the reception and the significance of the character in the real world would. See also Wikipedia:Plot-only description of fictional works and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction. Spinixster (chat!) 02:28, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Discussion of casting and development is in no way "plot"; plot is by definition in-universe. Sources paying substantial attention to the casting and writing of a character is every bit as indicative of the notability of the character as the reception and influence of that character. BD2412 T 02:40, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I never said it was plot, I just said that more sources about the reception and significance of the character would be needed to prove notability. This reminds me of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/D.B. Russell, where there is information about the casting but the character is still considered not to be notable. Spinixster (chat!) 02:46, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay then: Paige Newman, In praise of Lennie Briscoe", Today (December 29, 2004). Of course there will be sources for the reception of longstanding characters on popular series. You just need to look for them more diligently. BD2412 T 03:06, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Skibidi Toilet[edit]

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

The last nomination for this article was not descriptive and the nominator failed to demonstrate a lack of notability. In the time since this article has been put into mainspace, there has been no indication that Skibidi Toilet is notable despite receiving coverage from sources that are ambiguous in reliability. Sources such as Lifehacker and Distractify may be acceptable for expanding on an article that has already been deemed notable, but the only sources that seem to bear weight are For The Win—a publication that is likely not held to the same standards as its parent USA Today—and Kotaku.

Basing an article on ambiguous sources is reckless. Well-established sources determine notability, not marginally reliable or dubious ones. YouTube views and subscribers are irrelevant here, as are my previous deletion requests. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 06:35, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you wisen up before resorting to personal attacks before you get more than you bargained for. I covered a selection of sources, including Newsweek. The additional sources you have found are neither reliable nor unreliable and cannot be used to assess notability. The question is not if there are sources for this topic but if they can determine notability. If The New York Times and The Washington Post were to have full articles on Skibidi Toilet, this article would be justifiably acceptable for mainspace. Sources that have not been put up to scrutiny may be reliable. The use of unheard of sources is a signal that editors are scraping the bottom of an empty barrel. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 14:33, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The thiswastv source doesn't seem reliable at all, it just looks like a tabloid, and the author is known for making opinion pieces.
The writer from the passionfru.it source came from KnowYourMeme, which is an unreliable source.
The L'adn, Watson and Indy100 sources also seem unreliable, with Indy100 inventing a new term that has never been used by anyone else.
The Stealthoptional article is in the "Reviews" category.

Filmdaily.co and Tiny Beans should immediately be excluded since they're literally just opinion.

So basically the only source you gave that seems reliable is the HITC source. And even then you said that the last AfD established notability, which is not true because the last AfD was of a very, very low quality, which is why this even got renominated in the first place. 🔥Jalapeño🔥 Stupid stuff I did 07:16, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am not claiming that these sources are reliable, but sources can't unreliable because authors are guilty by association. Indy100 is owned by The Independent and journalists write the news pieces. Skibidi Toilet Syndrome is a genuine internet meme. Ca talk to me! 01:55, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The link you sent to Skibidi Toilet Syndrome is under review by KnowYourMeme.
Also, those sources don't demonstrate notability by themselves, we need a better source from a more reputable and reliable source or ideally more of them so we know Skibidi Toilet is actually notable.

  • Keep. Although the article is quite a mess currently, that does not mean there aren't well established sources out there that do establish its notability. Additionally, if we're going to hold the sources without consensus on such a high pedestal for this article, we need to look back at the numerous - and I mean numerous, amounts of not even just past internet meme-related articles, but also internet culture-related articles in general, that are almost entirely reliant on those types of sources.

Please keep in mind that was just a personal opinion and I’m not expecting agreement. That doesn’t disregard the fact that so many internet culture-related articles with even less notability are heavily reliant on sources with no consensus. As I stated previously: if we're going to hold this article on such a high pedestal in source reliability, we must go forward with removing other articles/major content from articles such as ai_sponge, Griddy (dance), most entries on List of Generation Z slang, and a major amount of content from numerous modern-day content creators. B3251 (talk) 18:02, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a double standard. The expectation of a well-sourced article has been everpresent since the notability guideline was established. I discovered this article through repeated external discussions.

Cartoon Brew is a publication with a good reputation in the animation industry (see Jpcase's arguments in this discussion); El Comercio is considered a newspaper of record of Peru; Excélsior is the second oldest newspaper of Mexico City and has been recommended by the BBC as an "established daily" newspaper; and El Español was created by a former director of a Spanish newspaper of record, El Mundo. All of them have covered it in detail, though Excelsior's coverage is a bit less satisfying. [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] Together with Kotaku, coverage seems enough to meet GNG, though barely. Note that, although Dexerto does not contribute to the notability requirement, it can be cited in a case-by-case basis except for BLP statements per this recent discussion, so it might be fine to cite this interview but not this article.

This video series' quick boom in popularity worldwide is an amazing feat that at least brought attention from reliable news sources as put out on above, though not much for now.

    Then can you explain this? Brachy08 (Talk) 07:13, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I can absolutely explain this. A YouTube video about a Half-Life 2 animation by a semi-popular Roblox YouTuber making overly dramatized videos about specific topics (Yes, I know that Parlo makes his content like that, he isn't really considered a notable YouTuber in the Roblox community) doesn't establish notability at all. 🔥Jalapeño🔥 Stupid stuff I did 07:27, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    And YouTube itself doesn't establish notability either, especially Parlo or other drama YouTube channels. 🔥Jalapeño🔥 Stupid stuff I did 07:30, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I’m not using it as a source, given the overdramaticisation Parlo does to his videos. If someone wants to bring him up as a source, I’d vote deprecate. But it is proof it is not merely semi-popular, given the fanbase. Brachy08 (Talk) 01:31, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep or Redirect to List of Internet phenomena. Skibidi toilet has already met WP:GNG and has enough SIGCOV for it to not be deleted. The article does meet GNG and the previous AfD was closed as a speedy keep. Checking Google through the above links also indicates through many news sources that Skibidi Toilet is being popular. -- Wesoree (talk·contribs) 14:23, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep or draftify and redirect to List of Internet phenomena per nom. None of the sources are reliable, meet WP:RS and this article has room for improvement. This AfD compared to the previous AfD is actually accurate (which changed my mind).

  • Delete or Draftify. This subject in my eyes is about 50/50 on meeting GNG, but if it did meet GNG, this is where WP:SUSTAINED comes into play. I strongly believe all notability on this meme is routine coverage on the newest Internet craze and I have my doubts anything will come of it in the future. Internet memes come and go, and Skibidi Toilet is already starting to fade out. The sources here are likely what it could stay with for as long as the article exists. With that in mind, I believe that this article will not a) serve a purpose and/or b) meet SUSTAINED. NegativeMP1 16:35, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    What counts as a "sufficiently significant amount of time"? Kotaku and Vandal (El Español) made articles about it in July, and three of the Spanish-language sources I've mentioned above were released in September, so the series technically attracted attention over two months. The guideline says "Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability" (emphasis added), so that's another ambiguity. Per WP:NOTTEMPORARY, "it does not need to have ongoing coverage". The news don't appear to cover Skibidi Toilet in the context of any event, other than for being popular for some months. ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 08:19, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It is far from fading out. Skibidi Toilet videos are still getting 30-40M views on average and the view count remains stable. I think it will be sustained for a long time(it has already been sustained for 8 months). BitByte10 (talk) 04:40, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Sources in article and discussed in this direction are sufficient to meet WP:GNG. This has already gotten sustained coverage for more than half a year, so it's more than just a truly transient meme. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 15:14, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep This is a truly borderline article, but I think there is just enough to tip the scales in favor of a keep vote. As demonstrated by ObserveOwl, several of the sources covering Skibidi Toilet are reasonably reliable. Also, while I would never use the Daily Dot as a source for political content, I think it is an acceptable source for non-controversial internet phenomenon per WP: DAILYDOT/my own experience with the source. Regarding sustained coverage, I think a few months of coverage is fine for a series of YouTube shorts. I don’t find this length of coverage to be especially persuasive, but its long enough not to drop a “delete per WP:NOTNEWS.” Honestly, I think keeping this and merging the article into the List of Internet Phenomena article are both perfectly reasonable outcomes, although I’m slightly more inclined to keep for the previously listed reasons. Spirit of Eagle (talk)
  • Weak Keep I'll admit. I have never watched one of these videos, and I probably never will. But that's neither here nor there. The sourcing is borderline and leans towards being adequate. It's true that many of the sources the article had in it at the time it was nominated had no consensus on their reliability. I wouldn't say that's a strong enough case for deletion on its own, but it does at least put into question whether or not the article really does pass GNG. However, during the course of this discussion, multiple editors have found additional sources that give more credibility to the idea that this topic passes GNG after all. Some of the counterarguments to these additional sources were less than convincing. With respect to Jalapeño, we do not guilt-by-association sources by tracking down the previous writing gigs of the author and checking to see if they had ever worked for an unreliable outlet, deeming all future works unreliable if they have. That's not how that works.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 11:54, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I genuinely think we need stricter guidelines for pages for memes. Events can carry notability, but that's often demonstrable in a long standing cultural status that affects things in the long term. As it stands, this is hardly distinguishable from a KnowYourMeme article. Paragon Deku (talk) 23:45, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I don’t like Skibidi Toilet I think it’s grown to be pretty annoying but it’s impossible to deny that it is in fact huge and has somehow managed to reach the mainstream and is clearly receiving significant media coverage so I believe the page should be allowed to stay as it has managed to become a very popular web series.

Fails WP:NASTRO and WP:GNG. It happened, with the usual announcements, but beyond that there is nothing especially noteworthy about this one of several thousand supernovae discovered so far this year. It was moderately bright, but not exceptionally so. I suggest returning to the original redirect, to the host galaxy, where it is already mentioned as one of four supernovae observed in that galaxy.

Doing a Google Searcy gives us a hint that this supernova is not similar to the ordinary ones which are being discovered on a daily basis. A lot of observations, images and photometric observations are being done for this one, and some discussions and articles were written about it (such as the ones mentioned in the reply on 14:11, 18 September 2023 (UTC) ).

  • Comment:"Not notable. Citations are all primary, self-published, or unreliable. Basic origin is crossing of two separate breeds by two separate breeders. That is all."
Page writer here: Please read all of the sources and citations on the page in full before marking a page for deletion. The breed association and other breeders clearly state that the American Sugarbush Harlequin Draft is not just "the crossing of two separate breeds by two separate breeders (i.e. Percheron and Appaloosa". In breeding, crossing one breed to another is considered an F1 cross, but this breed is several generations beyond F1 crosses. Also, the Sugarbush Harlequin Draft Association is not a "self-published or unreliable source". I am not affiliated with this organization in any way, and contributed the article based on its notability in reference to other horse breeds. Obversa (talk) 15:26, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's currently sourced to the breeder's association, so a primary source and a weblog. Neither of which is RS. Oaktree b (talk) 15:54, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Adding to this: It looks like the page was vandalized by another user after I initially wrote the page. In the original page, I included this line: "Some consider it to be a type of draft cross, or a subtype of the Percheron breed, while others consider it to be its own breed." I also included this as a source: [39]https://boisvertfarms.com/americn-sugarbush-harlequin-drafts.html
However, another user came in after I made that edit and removed that line, as well as the citation. Obversa (talk) 15:30, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete-It looks like the original page was mostly copied from the official breed registry page and they are really mad about. The best course of action is to delete this page, because there was so much misinformation added, and let the registry decide if they want a page here. The ASHDA members were sent a notice about the page and most were outraged how terribly written the article was. According to the ASHDA facebook page and their website most of their stuff, including the breed name, is copyrighted, so using it here without their permission would violate wikipedia's rules regarding copyrighted material.

    Can you please advise how you came to create an account solely to participate in this discussion? Star Mississippi 15:04, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Because several hundred ASHDA members were notified that someone had posted false info about our breed that can hurt our businesses. This is what happens when someone makes a page and doesn't do actual research. Aligning ASHDA with Sendera was completely wrong. The owners of Sendera had horses removed from their possession for starving the animals and were never members of ASHDA nor did they own any Sugarbush Harlequin Drafts. I'm not going to be the only one who arrives at the page because of this irresponsible creation. I'm sure if the page remains up it will be constantly edited to keep the facts straight, because the self editors that traipse through the Appaloosa, Cream Draft, Vanner and other horse breed pages all add fake information. If any of the official ASHDA logos or photos are used it will probably trigger copyright violations being reported to wikipedia, which means most of the visuals and information will be limited. I looked at the profile that created the page and they have multiple Wikipedia copyright violations for using stuff they weren't supposed to. Why was this person still allowed to create articles if all they do is steal other people's work? At some point journalistic integrity should be upheld. HistoricHoofbeats (talk) 16:02, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Both articles are puff pieces. The first article (marking 140 years in business) is regurgitated spin with phrases like "fruit d'un atelier d'artisans minutieux au service d'une clientèle internationale" or "Aventurier, ambitieux et décidé, il n'y aura pour lui aucune frontière à sa volonté de découvrir des diamants, rubis, saphirs, émeraudes et autres." Check out other publications which contain practically the same "messaging" such as this promotional piece in "A" magazine or this Lebanese guide. The second source is regurgitated PR with phrases like ""Later in the evening, the ribbon was cut, and George Hakim was officially instated as a new, sparkling jewel in Geneva’s crown" and "The name George Hakim has become synonymous with high-end design and exquisite craftsmanship, with its qualitative, unique gems sourced from all over the world, and elegantly finished in the hands of expert craftsmen and artisans".

Non-notable video game. I've tried to scour WP:VG/S for sourcing, but the only in-depth coverage I found were GameSpot and IGN both covering the announce/reveal at a trade show (added to talk page). There was no coverage afterwards, and all other hits were database entries. Note that the game is in English sourcing as "Portable Resort" rather than what the article shows. Searching the japanese title turned up a database entry on Famitsu, but no actual news/articles. It seems neither English nor Japanese reliable sources that we currently have identified took real note of the game. -- ferret (talk) 17:00, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Already found 2 SIGCOV in English here and here. According to this, Dengeki Playstation gave it a "B" score in Japanese press. I'm not sure if that comes with a review or not, but the IGN and Gamespot hands-on previews seal the deal for me that this game is notable. It's likely that it just needs a more indepth search of dead-tree sources to find even more coverage. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:15, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Restore redirect to Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers for the moment. Maybe a merge is in order, but there's so much coverage of this company, I have a feeling we're just not quite finding enough SIRS sources yet.
  • Here's something that is probably SIRS in WSJ([55] or [56]) (meets ORGIND, borderline on CORPDEPTH).
  • Here's a SWOT analysis of a private equity firm that held a stake.[57] Since it's only one holding among many, there doesn't quote seem to be enough detail for CORPDEPTH.
  • Note that this company seems to be something of a case study in HR texts regarding gender discrimination eg [58][59][60] It's in enough sources that it would be DUE to include. WP:ILLCON doesn't allow these sources for CORP tho.

This fringe organization fails both the Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies) as well as the Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline. Having a lot of Google hits is not going to turn the tide either. In fact, there are hardly no independent and reliable sources that actually describe the activities and achievements of this organisation. 62.183.185.10 (talk, c) 15:42, 27 September 2023 (UTC) — 62.183.185.10 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

If it's a question of socks, I'm not aware of any banned users in the topic who would be apt to show up trying to delete this article, especially out of Finland.

  • Delete. WP:NORG is the prevailing guideline here, not merely that an org exists. As discussed on the article talk page, independent sourcing is extremely sparse on in-depth coverage that would satisfy org notability, especially compared to other advocacy groups in this realm. In most cases, it's just a namedrop or passing mention rather than in-depth coverage focused on the group itself. That or maybe just being part of an indiscriminate database entry. If you do a google search excluding PAN websites, you get this, which largely just gives social media and other non-independent sources. You have to work pretty hard to even find sources that just namedrop the org. You will sometimes see this group mentioned internally within other advocacy groups about their denial of the scientific consensus on GMOs[64] or joining in on court cases/regulatory petitions, but that's about it. PAN doesn't get focus other than being a name listed sometimes, even in WP:PARITY sources in that realm. KoA (talk) 16:34, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I forgot to mention that there could also be a WP:NFRINGE angle with this group, especially when it comes to GMOs. That said, I couldn't find any sufficient sources to really make the case for notability there either. You might find profiles in sources we don't even use in cases of WP:PARITY like the Genetic Literacy Project[65], but the more I look at this group, it appears to have even less independent coverage that that GLP link that lost its article status due to similar notability concerns. KoA (talk) 16:43, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @KoA: This is a better link for excluding their websites using the site: parameter. SmartSE (talk) 22:28, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I spent quite a while in June searching for sources but couldn't find anything that provides in-depth, independent coverage. I've looked again today and still not been able to find any suitable sources. Things that I have found are e.g. this(access this and the others via WP:TWL) which is in-depth but published by the organisation so not independent. Other than that it is just many small mentions in reliable sources, mainly (presumably) originating from their press releases e.g. [66] or mentions the organisation in passing e.g. [67]. It is somewhat surprising that no better sources exist, but unless someone is able to come up with at least two sources providing in-depth, independent coverage, WP:ORG is not met. Neither Dicklyon or Gtoffoletto have addressed this. Who created the AFD is irrelevant (unless evading blocks). SmartSE (talk) 20:30, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Remember PAN is a decentralised organisation. It does not exist as a central entity but as many local "chapters". Were you searching for sources referring to PANNA or PAN Europe etc.? I do not have time to do so now but will try later if I can. {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 17:48, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The name Pesticide Action Network would still show up in in-depth sources if the group was notable regardless of being de-centralized or not. That doesn't change the search terms, it just means you'd exclude each regional PAN website to focus on independent sources using the overarching name. KoA (talk) 22:27, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I have used various search terms, but as KoA points out, if it is a decent source, it is almost certainly going to mention the term "pesticide action network" somewhere within it. SmartSE (talk) 09:41, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep – Pesticide Action Network has been among the most influential and most active NGOs in the area of chemical safety and international chemicals/pesticide management. During more than a decade, it has e.g. contributed significantly to negotiations under SAICM and the Rotterdam Convention as well as to the Code of Conduct.[68][69][70][71] Its European subsection (PAN Europe) is an accredited stakeholder to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).[72][73] PAN Europe even currently holds the seat on the EFSA Stakeholder Bureau representing "NGOs and Advocacy Groups".[74] CropLife International, PAN’s long-term opponent from industry side, lists the Pesticide Action Network in the same breath as the World Bank, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the African Union and WWF.[75] --Leyo 20:49, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Leyo: I've looked through all of these links and still none provide any in-depth independent coverage. All they do is demonstrate that it exists. If it is as important as you claim then it should have attracted much more coverage. SmartSE (talk) 22:41, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The available information is more than sufficient to conclude on PAN’s influential activities in many processes within the area of chemical safety and international chemicals/pesticide management. I haven’t checked if what you claim would be available for other NGOs or CropLife International. --Leyo 05:56, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe so, but that's not what WP:ORG requires, I stress again that we need in-depth coverage not trivial mentions. Let's not get started on WP:OTHERCRAP. SmartSE (talk) 10:17, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Both criteria in WP:NGO are clearly met, as shown above. Your unsubstantiated claim of the opposite is your opinion …

    WP:NGO requires The organization has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization. (my emphasis). Let's examine the sources that you added in detail to see what they say about it:
  1. [76] Shortly after the Code of Conduct was first issued, the International Organization of Consumers Unions (IOCU) and the Pesticide Action Network (PAN) developed a Citizens’ Action Guide to the Code of Conduct (Goldenman and Rengam 1987). PAN also published a consolidated guide to the chemical tools and conventions (Goldenman and Pozo Vera 2008) which provided a checklist for implementation of the Code of Conduct. A dedicated Code monitoring module has been developed to help concerned organisations to monitor compliance with the Code of Conduct by governments and industry (Pesticide Action Network Asia and Pacific and Pesticide Action Network UK 2016). In addition, PAN carries out projects that promote implementation of parts of the Code of Conduct, in particular on alternatives to more hazardous pesticides. Member organizations of the Pesticide Action Network (PAN) conducted community monitoring in 13 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America between 2007 and 2009 (PAN 2010). They assessed pesticide use practices, use of personal protective equipment and self-reported symptoms of pesticide poisoning. Based on this survey, their assessment was that 25 years after initial publication of the Code of Conduct, pesticides in these regions were still exposing farmers to significant health risks. The best source of all of them, but the text is about reports that they have published rather than the organisation itself and is two small paragraphs in a 60 page document which is itself only chapter 3 of 12 of a larger report.
  2. [77] Noting high turnover, Pesticide Action Network (PAN) called for the appointment of experts who can complete their terms. and then several mentions of them supporting various decisions. Clearly not significant coverage.
  3. [78] Not even anything to quote, just their name in a list. Not significant coverage.
  4. [79] Known to cause a high incidence of severe or irreversible adverse effects on human health or the environment (Pesticide Action Network, 2009). That's it - not significant coverage.
  5. [80] As for #2 - just their name in a long list.
  6. [81] The same again.
  7. [82] and again.
Overall, there is only one source which gets anywhere near to being what we need for WP:NGO to be met. SmartSE (talk) 16:54, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for having a look at most sources I provided. Except number 1, the references are not thought to show classical coverage, but as examples of PAN's significant influence and recognized notability.
BTW: PAN also provides the database pesticideinfo.org that have been financially supported by e.g. the United States Agency for International Development. In an assessment of toxicological databases, PAN Pesticides Database met the inclusion criteria and ranked in the midfield of the evaluated 21 databases. Arizona Department of Agriculture states: This environmental group maintains a pesticide database that presents current toxicity and regulatory information. Notable features: sources for information (including EPA) completely transparent; site is very easy to navigate. --Leyo 22:15, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I've looked at the sourcing on the page, and the sources recommended in this discussion, and it seems to me that there is insufficient independent sourcing to establish notability. On the page, most of the current sources are non-independent, while two are not. An article from Time, [87], never mentions PAN by name, simply referring to a group of organizations of which, apparently, PAN is one. There is an article from The Washington Post, [88], that doesn't mention it in the online preview, but the article appears to be about a Food Alert program that, likewise, was founded by a group of organizations of which PAN is only one. There are a variety of books that have been mentioned, each containing entries (encyclopedia style) about PAN, but a close look indicates that these are all books published by environmental groups or as proceedings of environmental group meetings. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:56, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Different groups that work on similar topics can still be independent of each other. That would also be the case for e.g. trade associations or research groups of different universities. --Leyo 20:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I lean delete, and have considered nominating before. I removed enormous numbers of primary-sourced references to them from articles over the years and don’t ever recall anyone providing a secondary source that would have established the significance of any statement. It’s a pressure group beloved of the more militant anti-sciences off-wiki, but sourcing that actually establishes any objective significance is hard to discern.

    Yes, I often remove poorly-sourced and tendentious content. Especially self-sourced puffery. You have a problem with that? Guy (help! - typo?) 15:43, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    By "poorly sourced and tendentious" are you referring to removing basic content on the structure of the organisation sourced to the Union of International Associations's profile on PAN as you did in your latest edits? That seems pretty tendentious to me.
    Of note: the Union of International Associations operates under UN mandate as an independent research institute with the goal of documenting the work of current and historical international associations. It "collects, hosts and provides up-to-date, reliable information on global civil society and maintains the most comprehensive source of information on international associations"[89] and have profiles on all of the local chapters of PAN (full data only accessible with paid subscription).
    This alone proves that PAN meets WP:NORG. {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 19:36, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Smartse's source review is compelling. The bottom line is that there appears to be no significant coverage of this org in sources (or at least no editor has demonstrated that), and that is really the end of the matter. Bon courage (talk) 04:33, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Bon courage: Why aren't you counting the five sources I linked as SIGCOV of the org? Levivich (talk) 15:25, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Because so far as I could see none are independent sources with significant coverage. You know, some analysis and synthesis WP:SECONDARY-like. Or did I miss something? Bon courage (talk) 15:29, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok let's just take my first link. Why is the first one I linked not independent? What connection is there between the author/publisher and PAN? Why doesn't it have sigcov? It's two pages long. A two page entry about PAN in an academic encyclopedia isn't long enough to be significant? Levivich (talk) 15:38, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It passes the independent text but so far as I can see (Google Books UK clips the start of the entry) this is just a directory-like entry. But perhaps you're looking at something different to me because what I'm looking at is not "two pages long"? Is there some analysis and synthesis in the bit I'm missing? Bon courage (talk) 16:17, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A "directory-like entry" in Toxic Chemicals in America? That book is not a directory, just look at the other entries... are any of them directory-like entries? That book is a two-volume specialist encyclopedia published by ABC-Clio in 2021, and it has an encyclopedia entry about Pesticide Action Network. You can see "Pesticide Action Network" listed on the list of entries at the top of page vi. The entry on PAN begins at the top of page 495 and runs to the middle of page 496. It is 6 paragraphs, 522 words of prose. Not a directory entry at all -- there is no contact information for PAN, no phone or address, no infobox with statistics, just a prose summary of the group. 500 words isn't very long, but it is normal length for an encyclopedia entry, and I'd think an academic encyclopedia would count as a WP:GNG source for each and every topic that it has an entry about. Levivich (talk) 18:10, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I looked at each of the five sources you cited. What's clear to me is that all of them are encyclopedia-like tertiary sources, but on specialized topics, and in each case, there is an entry, in the manner of an encyclopedia entry, about this page subject. I'm seeing descriptions of PAN, but not much analysis. So when I think about that in terms of GNG, I have to evaluate where this sourcing fits in WP:SIGCOV. It's maybe a little more than trivial, but it's less than in-depth. And I wonder why there is so much tertiary sourcing in the apparent absence of secondary sources. That's actually pretty unusual. A lot of the other entries in those sources also have lots of independent coverage in secondary sources. WP:RSPRIMARY says that pages "should be based mainly on reliable secondary sources"; this page fails that test. And WP:TERTIARY says that tertiary sources are most useful to "help evaluate due weight, especially when primary or secondary sources contradict each other." In that context, the absence of secondary sources looks even more suspect. And it also says: "Some tertiary sources are more reliable than others. Within any given tertiary source, some entries may be more reliable than others." Here, it seems to me that we have to be cautious about treating these entries as really establishing notability. Normally, notable advocacy organizations get attention in secondary sources for what they have done. Yet, per my earlier comment here, the secondary sources that have been cited, in Time and the Washington Post, don't even mention PAN by name. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:58, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This doesn't make any sense to me. It seems like just moving the goal posts.

  • Comment: I've reviewed the page and found that PAN is credited with having influenced/participated in the processes that led to Rotterdam Convention and Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. Substantial coverage exists on those topics and I've added some content and sourcing to the article that I invite participants to review, but I recommend using tools such as the Wikipedia library [90] as most of this activity is from the 90s. Levivich if you have an easy access to the books that you mentioned I can try to source some additional content. {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 10:35, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Once again, this is content that indicates that there were multiple organizations involved, of which PAN was only one, and not a prominent one, and editors are trying to make PAN's involvement appear more prominent than what the sources actually support. I checked each of those sources, and not one of them is actually focused on PAN's role. They just cover events in which PAN happened to be one of the participants. Certainly, PAN is involved in significant activities, but is portrayed by secondary sources as an insignificant player in those activities. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:30, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Passing mentions as an also-ran, in fact. Guy (help! - typo?) 13:37, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Here is a quote from one of the sources (that I had still open on my PC): The term “prior informed consent” appears to have been coined by David Bull of Oxfam (UK) in the late 1970s to convey a trade norm specifically in the context of trade in hazardous pesticides.15 Bull’s work at Oxfam influenced the Pesticides Action Network (PAN), which lobbied international institutions to regulate pesticides. PAN was motivated both to address serious environmental and health consequences of current pesticide practices and to curb what it saw as irresponsible behavior by multinational corporations (Paarlberg 1994: 316–319). Thus, the moral, legal, and economic origins of prior informed consent came together in pesticides trade. from "Informed Consent: A Negotiated Formula for Trade in Risky Organisms and Chemicals" by Amanda Wolf. Is this nothing more than a passing mention in your view? Is PAN not prominent here? Did they "just happen to be one of the participants"? For context the concept of Prior informed is central to the Rotterdam Convention on Prior Informed Consent. To me the answer is no to all of those questions, but we might have different sensibilities here. Let's hear from others. {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 14:31, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Whether it's a passing mention or not (I think it is), the focus of that passage is David Bull's coining of the term "prior informed consent" which he did "in the context of trade in hazardous pesticides". PAN is mentioned as having been an example of who was influenced by that. It's not a passage about PAN, but a passage about a broader concept that uses PAN as an example. The Rotterdam Convention is notable, but PAN isn't. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:15, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed, I looked into this one when it was added to the article earlier, but hadn't gotten around to removing it (also moot if the page is deleted). It's just another passing mention instance that wouldn't really be DUE at the article much less higher-level notability. KoA (talk) 17:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    You keep saying that you reviewed all the sources in the article but I find that hard to believe or you wouldn't misinterpret this text in such a way. It clearly states that it was Pesticides Action Network (PAN), which lobbied international institutions to regulate pesticides. And I quote the abstract (passing mention?) of another source: The establishment of PIC as a binding international rule was sealed by eventually gaining the support of the chemical industry in the early 1990s, after initial opposition, after a civil society campaign led by the Pesticide Action Network (PAN), an alliance of nongovernmental organizations.[91] Have you included this source in your review? {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 19:07, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment after relisting. I actually took a look at all the sources mentioned here so far (including paywalled ones), but they all strengthen that the organization fails WP:NORG by lacking in-depth coverage. Instead, many sources have been provided that happen to basically just namedrop PAN, are part of indiscriminate directory-like listings, etc. This is the exact issue I mentioned in my initial delete comment.
Others have alluded to it, but when the evidence brought by those wanting to keep the article only further demonstrate the delete rationale, we're going to keep running into problems with the article WP:PAG-wise if it remains. Articles that don't meet notability requirements, but are instead stitched together with one-off comments in sources or a large number of passing mention sources functionally are a WP:COATRACK in the sense that passing mentions obscure the lack of notability and WP:SIGCOV. I've also seen comments here that run up against WP:INHERITORG. The group's associations with others doesn't lead to inherited notability. Deletion has just become more clear as editors actually walk through sources that contain the PAN term, and we do have to be mindful of just how much WP:NORG currently weighs against keeping the article from a WP:!VOTE perspective. KoA (talk) 18:11, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Since you claim you took a look at all the sources mentioned here so far (including paywalled ones): can you provide us with the relevant portions of text from this one [92] that mentions PAN in the abstract? Also from Toxic Chemicals in America that contains a full entry on PAN. I've been reviewing all of the sources myself and have come to a very different conclusion than yours but I do not have access to all the full texts. Thanks. {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 19:13, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You may want to ask those who cited the source first. For the first, the "chapter" is only a single page (barely that) which basically says nothing more than the abstract on PAN in a single sentence. When you look at other sources, you don't see them using this language about PAN or even singling any particular ones out, so there is a WP:DUE issue with that description. For the second source, it should already be a red flag that it's not indexed in most databases. I had to hop over to a nearby library that luckily had a copy, and it doesn't look like that book is stocked widespread either. It's mostly just citing them a few times, which is why it probably popped in the google search. As Bon Courage mentioned, it's just a WP:DIRECTORY-like entry, and Tryptofish already had a good description of the 5 sources mentioned in that main comment.
It should be pretty telling that we've gone through this many sources (some just thrown out there because they just briefly mention PAN), and still haven't found a source really getting to in-depth coverage like we would for other notable environmental advocacy groups. We can verify that they do stuff, but that's not the same as notability. KoA (talk) 22:13, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, was somebody touting a sourcing as proving GNG's bar had been cleared, without actually having accessed that source? Find that hard to believe. Bon courage (talk) 04:45, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately I think that's something the closer is going to have to sort through, was notability just asserted with sources that didn't really do that, or are there sources that truly showed depth focusing on the org itself. That's a repeated problem that was brought up early on in this AfD as a core issue that it would be helpful for the closer to address regardless of what the decision actually is. KoA (talk) 00:58, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Toxic Chemicals is not a directory, it's an encyclopedia. Levivich (talk) 04:56, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So basically you can't provide additional quotes from those sources to prove your point? A lot of hoops to jump to disqualify all of those sources. Now we are at the stage of "not indexed in most databases" to discard encyclopedic sources? And not all sources use exactly the same "language about PAN" so it doesn't count? Pretty weak reasoning. {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 10:02, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Here's a notably non-sympatheic appraisal of PAN. A Google search reveals 100s of hits from newspapers across the world going back to the 1980s reporting on PAN. Some common sense necessary here; by all means clean up the article, but this is a high-profile 40 year old globally-recognised non-profit network (with significant visibility outside the Anglo-sphere). FWIW, in this case, if the forensic application of our policies and guidelines do not produce a better encyclopedia, we WP:IAR. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 02:48, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The first link was already addressed from the Genetic Literacy Project as generally not reliable (we even avoid it as a WP:PARITY source in this subject). The problems of just throwing up Google searches and saying there are a bunch of hits has also been addressed to as not addressing the key parts of WP:NORG. KoA (talk) 03:35, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    As I said *forensic* application of policy and guidelines misses the forest for the trees. The GLP source might well be corporate sponsored, but the question of whether PAN presents fringe theory is as asserted in this discussion is not backed by multiple, independent reliable sources. Moreover, I made a specific, not generic, search link to newspaper appearances of PAN - literally hundreds across 40 years. Despite the claimed difficulty with finding these sources, it's common sense that an organisation whose reports, lawsuits and lobbying activities receive newspaper coverage over decades in nunmerous countries is notable. Given the organisation's origins in Malaysia in the early 1980s there's more than reasonable likelihood for significant offline sources to also be available. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 04:55, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's getting better as I look through 4, though a still remaining challenge is this is only one book chapter from an author in San Francisco where PAN is based in North America. There haven't been other sources giving much detail, and that's a recurrent problem I'm seeing in the pesticide related literature. Other groups do get some mention, but PAN is typically only mentioned in the background at best lumped together which a bunch of other acronyms. That coupled with all this work to get one source that mentions more than a sentence is still a pretty serious question of notability from WP:NGO The organization has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization. (my bolds) after surveying this many sources. KoA (talk) 16:17, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looking into the source (4) more, I see that Nova Science Publishers is generally regarded as a vanity press Nova_Science_Publishers#Criticism. I would be really wary of this especially being the sole source used to claim notability or impact and all the more reason to follow the NGO guideline's guidance on multiple in-depth sources.

I took a look at 3 (Groth 2014). It's basically no different than previous directory-like entries. It only gets three sentences. The context in that the source is what NGOs lobby/participate with the WHO/FAO Codex Commission meetings. They make a bulleted list of those orgs, but PAN doesn't get any mention in summary statements of major organizations like the others. It just gets: PAN is an international alliance of environmental, farm-worker, and consumer advocacy organizations that promotes pesticide safety in a variety of contexts. PAN has been actively involved with the FAO’s Agriculture Committee and with the United Nations Environment Program. Pesticide residues in foods are one of PAN’s many concerns, and PAN has attended occasional past sessions of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues.
The lens for this source is really just involvement in Codex, so it doesn't look like it'd be a great source for overall notability assessment. An org like Greenpeace basically gets a similar passing mention that they don't really participate much, while others that did participate more have much lengthier profiles, so we don't really have a good stand-alone WP:ORGDEPTH source or comparatively when the source is taken in context as to who the major players on the list are. It verifies PAN participates a bit in a run of the mill fashion, but it seems like we're still running into the issue that this an org often in the background, not not really getting a lot of notice from multiple sources.

Most of those are medical claims coming from newspapers and wouldn't be reliable sources for that material. The first is also in a small town newspaper as well as the second. The third and fourth are from larger regional newspapers, but still have MEDRS issues for relatively short articles. They might be ok simply for sourcing basic verifiable org information in an article, but not notability (a important distinction for those not familiar with AfD's vs. due weight article inclusions). The sixth is another passing mention at best just barely namedropping PAN and has some WP:FRINGE fear-mongering. The fifth is a little different in that it's more of a WP:PRIMARY blow-by-blow description of a case PAN brought to the European Commission (and an uncited report), but the focus is more on the case, not PAN.
Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Significant_coverage_of_the_company_itself highlights the overarching problem here. Sources that describe only a specific topic related to an organization should not be regarded as providing significant coverage of that organization. These articles are highlighting a product, case, or a report at best, not PAN itself.
We've had a recurring problem at this AfD of assertions of notability with, yet actually digging into the sources shows the opposite. If the organization truly was notable, all someone would have to do is follow WP:NGO and provide multiple sources that provide in-depth coverage for the closer to close this as keep. So far we've only had one source that meets that criteria only if you ignore reliability issues. When that criteria isn't met though, we're looking at a clear delete when you look at the volume of sources topic editors have been "asked" to sort through that don't show in-depth coverage. KoA (talk) 00:51, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, this response conflates a critical reaction to PAN with a critical assessment of sources about PAN. The first two citations are wire pieces, Associated Press and the New York Times, respectively, that is, they are national news stories, not local (leaving aside that there is no community consensus that discounts local news coverage per se). How are the second and thrird MERDS issues? The question is not about the content of the directory, it is that the directory exists and that there is reliable sorucing reporting on the existence of the directory. The fourth and sixth illustrates, as has amply been shown, that PAN reports, activities receive widespread coverage. The fifth citation indicates that it is a notable case; there are literally millions of court administrative review processes which do not receieve reporting. PRIMARY would be the judgement of the court ombudsman, this is secondary. Finally, PAN is *not* a company, you cannot conflate a for profit corporation with a not for profit, non-government organisation - our guidelines distinguish profit and for-profit organisations precisely because of the ways in which for profit corporations have resources above and beyond non-profits to game sourcing. Where is the sourcing that supports the claims that PAN engages in fringe theory? I've no problem with those being included in the article, but there's a lot of assertions here about PAN, but I've seen no sourcing (other than the piece I mentioned above, which was discounted) to support those particular assertions vis à vis PAN.

WP:BLP of a businessman and politician, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for businessmen or politicians. As always, neither businessmen nor politicians are "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on substantive coverage and analysis about their work -- but the attempted notability claim as a businessman is that his company exists, cited entirely to primary sources such as press releases self-published by his own company and Q&A interviews in which he's the speaker and not the subject under discussion; the attempted notability claim as a politician is that he's served on a borough council, which is not a level of office that guarantees inclusion under WP:NPOL, and is still referenced to a primary source "staff" profile rather than GNG-building media coverage about his work on the council; and what's left for GNG-worthy coverage is two pieces that are covering him in trivial human interest contexts entirely tangential to the attempted notability claims, which thus aren't enough coverage to vault him over GNG all by themselves if "man is proud to be Irish" and "man is Olympic torchbearer" are the only fully independent third party sourcing he has.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 20:08, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • :Keep. I would like to address some factual inaccuracies that appear to have contributed to the nominator’s rationale behind submitting this for deletion.
    Firstly, no primary sources are used in this article. There are no “self published articles by the subject’s company”. As per WP:GNG, only secondary and reputable sources are used (London Evening Standard, The Irish Times etc).
    Secondly, there are no ‘staff profiles’ used in the references. I am unsure what the nominator is referring to here. Both the Irish Times and Evening Standard pieces are full features on the subject and in reputable publications and as such meet WP:GNG. PoliticsDex (talk) 13:04, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The Irish Times article is just an ongoing business feature on Irish people working abroad. It doesn't really lend itself to notability. The LES article is just about how he carried the Olympic torch for a little ways. SportingFlyer T·C 13:42, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That’s correct. Both would meet WP:GNG as both are WP:SIGCOV and also WP:SUSTAINED. I see no reason why this shouldn’t be kept. PoliticsDex (talk) 14:52, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Then everyone who got written about in a weekly feature by the Times would be one small piece of SIGCOV away from a Wikipedia article. That column is clearly not discriminate when it comes to notability. SportingFlyer T·C 15:57, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    We'll likely need to agree to disagree, but the article is in a publication that fully meets Wikipedia:GNG source criteria in that it is reliable, independent, secondary, published and significant.

    Well, for starters, you're wrong that no primary sources are used in the article: Local Government Chronicle is a primary source, as it is just a directory of his own writing for that publication — but we're not looking for sources in which he's the author of content about other things, we're looking for sources in which he's the subject of content written by other people. University of Southampton is a primary source, as it's just an institution self-publishing a calendar listing of an event it's hosting and not third-party coverage establishing said event as newsworthy. Stuff published by his own company isn't the only thing that counts as primary sourcing — stuff self-published by any entity directly affiliated with the claim it's sourcing is primary sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 16:09, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for clarifying. I was responding to the specific point you made where you said references were “press releases self-published by his own company”. Clearly, this isn’t the case. I agree that better references than the LGC and University of Southampton ones are required. PoliticsDex (talk) 17:46, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: The first source is fine, the rest are him talking to media or being interviewed. The PR Times requires registration, so I didn't read it. It appears to be in a trade magazine, which I'd assume isn't a RS, but sourcebot has it green... Regardless, carrying the Olympic flame isn't notable, rest of the sourcing is interviews or typical "ask the expert about xyz" that news programs use. I can't see that he's regarded as the go-to expert in his field, just appears to be a person doing their job for a long time and is able to explain it to others.

The result was merge‎ to Los Angeles crime family. There is certainly an overwhelming desire for this to not be kept as a standalone article, that much is clear. Closing as no consensus would not be in keeping with that desire. A delete decision would not preclude anyone from updating any proposed merge target, but it would remove the current title from being a redirect. As the List of Cohen crime family members is already slated to be merged to the LA crime family article, any remaining sourced information from this article should be merged there as well. I note that there is nothing stopping anyone from adding any sourced material to Mickey Cohen as well. UtherSRG (talk) 18:44, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cohen crime family[edit]

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

Article is a largely unsourced, largely OR compendium of material. Sure there are sources, but all deal with irrelevancies and side topics and none, zero, even attempt to address the subject of the article, the supposed "Cohen crime family" No sourcing is offered to indicate that such a "crime family" actually existed. In fact, if you look at the section called "Formation," you find that the formation of this supposed "crime family" is not described.

This article was merged into Mickey Cohen in 2019 but was recently unmerged. I have no objection to merging in lieu of deletion, but this article adds little if anything to the Cohen article due to its lack of useful sourcing.

Note that the realated article List of Cohen crime family members, which has zero sourcing, has been nominated for deletion on the same grounds. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Cohen crime family members Coretheapple (talk) 17:36, 13 September 2023 (UTC) nomination updated. Coretheapple (talk) 16:09, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with Mickey Cohen per my nomination. Tuck this into that other article, as happened in 2019 with no objection until two days ago. Though this article doesn't add very much usable material to Cohen, a merge in lieu of deletion is harmless. Coretheapple (talk) 19:41, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changing my !vote to Delete. There is no point to merging since there is no sourcing substantiating the existence of the article subject.

  • Weak Keep This is a major crime family with a storied history, in relation to both the Italian-American Mafia and Jewish-American organized crime. However, it is unclear how major, given the fact that much of it only alludes to Mickey Cohen himself. It certainly needs more detail and sources, but I believe it should be given the chance to add this. PickleG13 (talk) 23:07, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    PickleG13 Can you please cite a single reliable secondary source that substantiates your statement that the "Cohen crime family" existed, much less that it was a "major crime family"? I have searched diligently and found not even a single source substantiating the existence of the subject of this article. Secondly, the article was created in 2015 and tagged in 2019. Ample opportunity has been given to source this article. Coretheapple (talk) 01:13, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into Los Angeles crime family under the section about Jack Dragna. This so-called family appears to have arisen as a result of a falling out between Dragna and Mickey Cohen when Bugsy Siegel was killed. Also, both Siegel and Cohen were working for the New York mafia, so their West Coast operations is more like a branch office. Follow the chain of command to the top, Cohen wasn't the boss, just Siegel's lieutenant and bodyguard. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 22:27, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with Mickey Cohen per nom. I am also not finding independent confirmation that a "family" under this name (or Siegel crime syndicate) existed, and WP is not a reliable source. Cohen surely existed, and the activities regarding the remnants of the West Coast Lansky-Siegel operation that Cohen controlled and utilized to do battle with the Los Angeles crime family can be folded into his article, minus the background information (it's only there to pad the article) which can already be found under Jewish-American organized crime, Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel. Compare for example New York divorce coercion gang, another descriptive Jewish gang name that cannot be found in sources, but is kept in lieu of having the article at Mendel Epstein (the ringleader). Here, the situation will be the reverse—but having 2 articles in any case is not sensible. StonyBrook babble 15:11, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment re Liz's comment in relisting, note that I have changed my !vote to delete as merger would serve no useful purpose.

Fixing what I believe is your concern. Also I am puzzled by your comment about a possible no consensus close, which I believe would be tantamount to keeping. If only one !vote is for keep, the consensus is not to keep. Coretheapple (talk) 13:35, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think Liz was only trying to encourage a stronger attempt at achieving consensus. Simply pointing out that there is currently no consensus about what to do with an article does not imply that it is worth keeping, only that the default result is that it will remain, for now. StonyBrook babble 17:38, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But that's my point. There is a clear consensus at this time that it not remain. Coretheapple (talk) 18:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As a standalone article. As of now, there is no clear consensus to make the content therein completely disappear, which is what happens as a result of the deletion process. As stated above, I am in favor of including the general information in the Mickey Cohen article. However, that does not mean I agree that there ever was a Cohen crime family per se. It just means that I think the people who worked for and with Cohen should be included in his article in some form, whether via prose or a list. StonyBrook babble 18:33, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's my feeling as well. Perhaps my !vote should be delete or merge somewhere. I don't much care where. In January 2020 I merged this into Mickey Cohen, where it remained until a few weeks ago. In any event at the current time the consensus is clearly not to keep the article in its current form, and a "no consensus" would be a de facto "keep." Coretheapple (talk) 19:10, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I try, subtlety, to nudge the discussion along, Coretheapple. I'm trying to read the room. THe primary thing a closer needs to avoid is introducing their own opinion in the closure. Also, "No consensus" simply means that there is no agreement in the discussion it doesn't equate to "Keep". I've seen discussions closed as No consensus return for future visit to AFD, it's more likely than when they close as Keep. Liz Read! Talk! 03:49, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
