Fails the general and building-specific notability policies. - UtherSRG (talk) 01:30, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Rowan County Voting House – Morehead KY". The Living New Deal.
  • "Knapp Avenue voting house to be sold". The Daily Independent. June 15, 2015.
  • "Brushy Voting House #6". Clio.
and those are the type I added to the list of examples based on WP articles with this topic-name.
Contrast that Rechtman's topic, which is instead (despite being described as a general situation) is in Virginia (per article refs, such as [2]). As User:UtherSRG notes on Rechtman's talkpage and despite VRA/racial-voting topics being important, WP by policy is a follower based on RS not a leader to RGW. I would propose adding a DAB token to the article title (Voting house (WPA project) or Voting house (Kentucky)?) to clarify the topic and prevent drift. DMacks (talk) 10:28, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Upgading my !vote for mostly TNT'ing the generic stuff and instead having an article on the WPA meaning. I just found that the set of Rowan County voting houses built by WPA is itself NRHP-listed.
Doesn't matter to me if we want to say "delete the current article without prejudice for writing a new article on a slightly different specific topic with the same name" vs "rewrite the current to focus on that specific topic". DMacks (talk) 23:30, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

*Merge with the polling place article Fine,Delete unless a merge target is agreed upon. The basic fact is this article is about a type of polling place, not about the buildings themselves. One has to go and read newspapers to get any info about this type of polling place. Doing so, reveals they were not all built by the WPA, so please don't add WPA to the title. Many of them were built in the 19th century and those actual buildings may be notable. Also, I could not link this polling concept to any black history relevant thing, and even the articles themselves don't mention it or have any sources about it. In fact the only thing I did see was that white people voted in them. So I think that maybe some original research is occurring around that, The timelines don't seem to add up either. Furthermore, These places were built in the rural areas of many states, due to a lack of voting infrastructure. So please Don't add Kentucky to the title. Basically, these are polling places and your not going to have an article about a type of polling place that isn't going to significantly overlap with the article on polling places. So just merge it.James.folsom (talk) 19:46, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • @James.folsom: does the WPA concept of "voting house" seem notable enough for an article? There seem to be three (at least) meaning of the term (VRA, WPA, general building), of which 'WPA' is the one for which some RS have been found despite our article not currently being focused on that variant. So is no meaning viable for an article, or only the article we have not about a viable meaning? DMacks (talk) 20:08, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • @DMacks:Apologies, I'm having difficulty with what your asking. So I'm, going to share my thoughts about that article and maybe we will figure it out. I don't know what you mean by "the WPA concept of voting houses". What I know is that the WPA was basically a welfare program that provided money to hire unemployed people to work on public works projects like building voting houses. The WPA didn't have concepts of things, I don't think. They just built stuff that needed building. Administrative officials at the local level dictated the projects. The article that we are discussing isn't even about the voting houses, they are trivially mentioned. The actual subject of the article is about the political history behind their construction as a way to understand the evolution of the new deal built environment (whatever that means). So yes, reliable and primary source, but no on significant coverage of the voting houses. I also haven't seen any secondary sources that would be needed to establish notability per WP:GNG. Maybe you can clarify your question if that wasn't what you were asking.James.folsom (talk) 22:07, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        I would strongly oppose a merge. The polling place article is about polling places in general and is UK-centric at this time. This article is about a building built specifically to be a polling place as part of municipal works in a regional part of the United States. The polling place article should provide a large-scale international view of the subject, the level of detail required to describe this novelty would be inappropriate, though we could include a link there in a sentence somewhere. SportingFlyer T·C 22:25, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • This article is not based on those WPA voting houses. That article you posted is just one example of how and where these were built.James.folsom (talk) 23:06, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
          The current article is indeed about...I'm not quite sure what. Refs have now been posted here that are about something in particular (the "WPA" meaning). The article isn't specifically about that. My question was whether you think the WPA meaning, for which we now have refs, is sufficient for an article? Are you !voting against the current article itself, or is there not even a viable topic if we WP:TNT and write anew on that ref'ed meaning? DMacks (talk) 23:16, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
          I think that the voting houses should be mentioned somewhere in and article about places that people vote. But, if there is no redirect target then this article should be deleted because it isn't notable enough to have an article about it. I Think the WPA article has nothing to do with this because it is not significant coverage of voting houses. James.folsom (talk) 00:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"The # 4 Hogtown Voting House meets criterion A and is a significant physical representation of the New Deal. It was constructed by the WPA and used exclusively as a voting house during the period of significance. The # 4 Hogtown Voting House has retained a majority of the original materials and is recognizable in function as a voting house. The # 4 Hogtown Voting House is located in its original setting and location, andhas retained its integrity of association as a building constructed by one of the New dealera agencies."
(the other statemesnts just change the name of the place)
To me that suggests that the concept of being a voting house is part of the reason for listing and so would count as significant, or at least that being buit by the WPA and used as a voting house is. Shaws username . talk . 19:11, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've been going through the papers from newspapers.com (through the wiki library) and there are a lot of hits, some of it is debates about if the city/county should have some, and who should build it [13] announcing it as the location for polls, (e.g. [14] [15] [16]) There's also one from 1939 Wake County, North Carolina proudly announcing theirs on the front page and wondering if they might have the only one in the country [17]. A lot of it is fairly WP:ROTM (elections here) but it does show the spread and ubiquity of them. If people would like I can link more, otherwise it would get a bit WP:REFBOMB.

Relisting comment: Final relist. I've read through all of the comments here and while it's been a very interesting discussion, I don't see a consensus here yet. So, I'll try one final relist rather than closing as No consensus in case editors who commented early have a change of opinion. Just a note, this is not a discussion on the concept of "voting house", this conversation is specifically focused on this particular article and whether or not it should be deleted, merged, kept, redirected or renamed.

  • Comment: Her filmography probably satisfies WP:NACTOR, however, all the sources I've found about her are primarily about those films she was in (with Sarah being more of a footnote in them), and she appears to have completely avoided the public eye for the past ~29 years (since the end of her child acting career).

  • Delete: I am unable to find any in-depth coverage about her which is not surprising for a child actor. Everything is brief mentions including the cited source so we have no material with which to write a biography. As noted above, she has "pretty much disappeared" according to this article and "has stayed firmly away from he limelight, with little reference to her career or any of her personal endeavours online" per this one (neither are great sources but all I could find). Given this is a WP:BLP that does not meet WP:GNG, I think we should follow her lead. S0091 (talk) 16:14, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No refs on the page for many years. I'm not a speaker of Dutch but I can't find anything which would appear to meet the notability standards on en.wiki JMWt (talk) 19:20, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem here, however, before considering notability, is that this is a dictionary definition, not a proper article. If it was an article, we should have looked for sources and notability. This is so short that it should be merged, redirected, or deleted regardless of notability. In this case deleted, as the organization is loosely affiliated with three coalitions of which none takes preference over the other. gidonb (talk) 22:29, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To the best of my recollection there are or were books in this general domain on Google Books. And yes, the turnaround at K.F.C. Moerbeke was something! Maybe Ruud can save this one. I need to see some substance before considering notability. Otherwise, I will support delete or an ATD.

The closest we get is citation #5, an unbylined awards roundup of Zimbabwe Achievers Award, whose coverage of this subject is limited to the fact that they won this London-based award of unclear repute.

  • Delete - Searching is tough due to their bland name and single-named members, but a search in conjunction with their EP titles and such leads to few useful results. The creator of this article apparently knew little about the band because it only lists two members while Metal Archives (not a reliable source), shows five members and mentions that there is another Italian metal band also named Keen: [26] I managed to find one album review in Italian: [27] Otherwise I can find nothing beyond the usual self-upload and promotional services, and even those are rare, while their appearances in various talent shows do not seem to have made the news. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:17, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @S0091: Just curious, could you explain how you came to the conclusion that they are "largely interviews"? They seem like intellectually independent news articles that reasonably paraphrase or quote an interview that was done with the subject, routine for this kind of publication. Bridget (talk) 21:34, 27 February 2024 (UTC) (edited 11:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC))[reply]
    @Bridget Sure! When I look at sources I discount statements by the subject, so quotes or statements attributed to the subject, like "she says", "according to her", "she explains", etc. Using the first three as examples, the first one the majority of it is quotes or statements attributed to her but contains a good chunk of independent content. The 3rd source is mostly her statements. The 2nd source, the book, is tricky because I don't have access to all the content but a portion is an interview with some extensive quotes and other statements by her. I could also see there's some independent content but I could not tell exactly how much yet thought based on what I could see it's enough to contribute to notability. I then spot checked some other sources but I don't recall which ones. That's how I got to a solid keep with it meeting "at least" NBASIC. S0091 (talk) 16:26, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Topic fails WP:GNG. Available reliable secondary source coverage consists of being listed in credits for movies and little else. Searches for sources just to substantiate the alleged birth and death dates were unsuccessful (likely was sourced from WP:IMDB, which is a user-generated source). Finding reliable sources about the man himself has also been unsuccessful; even being careful to try to filter out other Frank O'Connors mostly yields results that are either not significant/independent/reliable (user-generated or are credit-information on movie-streaming platforms) or are about the Irish author or the actor husband of Ayn Rand [28] [29] [30]. While prolific in his career, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate catalog of information, and this O'Connor does not meet the general notability guideline.

  • Keep - While difficult to parse the information available, definitely meets WP:FILMMAKER, and there is enough to pass WP:GNG as well, such as obit in the Los Angeles Times, story in the Los Angeles Evening Citizen News, a paragraph in article in the San Francisco Examiner, piece, article, and quite a few others.Onel5969 TT me 00:34, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Close inspection suggests there isn't much more than two paragraphs of substantive coverage. The obituary is three paragraphs long, but the first paragraph is about when his funeral is, and the third is about his widow and children; only the third is about him and his career as a filmmaker. The 1935 San Francisco Examiner article has a singul paragraph that is directly about O'Connor. The other articles mention him only in passing: he's the writer for a film, or the director of a movie, but his writing and direction are not themselves the subject and not themselves examined, analyzed, reported on, etc. These mentions resemble the classic example of what isn't significant coverage: Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton, that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band.

  • Keep. I agree with both !votes above that he does meet Wp:FILMMAKER and thanks to Onel5969 for the sources that do attest O'Connor was director/writor of multiple notable films (which is what is needed to meet criterion#3), which the nominator apparently concedes.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 09:49, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Creating a body of work is only the first part of criterion #3. The full criterion is 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. O'Connor's plural films do not on their own substantiate notability; the films must be themselves significantly covered as a primary subject. From what I can gather, much of his filmography is of works that are documented in mostly a catalog-like fashion that doesn't demonstrate notability. Contemporaneous reviews (what a historian would call a primary source for the film and its reception) seem to be of an indiscriminate nature, with periodicals documenting and reviewing every movie that comes out; such coverage doesn't demonstrate notability. P-Makoto (she/her) (talk) 19:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Contemporaneous reviews (what a historian would call a primary source for the film and its reception) seem to be of an indiscriminate nature, with periodicals documenting and reviewing every movie that comes out; such coverage doesn't demonstrate notability. That’s not the consensus on Wikipedia, I’m afraid. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 13:06, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed: the periodicals covered "every movie" in the 1920s because films made by major studios tend to be notable. The same is true now for major studio films. It's not indiscriminate; it's a reflection of what the industry is like at a given time. Toughpigs (talk) 16:41, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdraw: Toughpigs's elaboration that a periodical's comprehensive coverage of newly released films is not necessarily the same as an indiscriminate coverage of a subject prompted me reconsider my assessment of the newspaper coverage of O'Connor's movies.

  • Delete. Nothing in the article can be verified, so we can delete per WP:V without even considering notability. But considering notability anyway: nothing in the article rises to a claim of notability through WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR; in particular, publishing many things is not notability. We need evidence of impact through e.g. high citation counts or published book reviews and we have none of those. Provost of Boğaziçi University is not head of the university (it has apparently always been headed by a rector) and none of his other academic positions is high enough. He did not win the 1988 Franz Edelman Award for Achievement in Operations Research and the Management Sciences; he was merely one of five members in one of six also-ran teams. If he has headed important Turkish government development work, we need published reliable sources with in-depth content about his role in that work to pass WP:GNG, and we don't have those either. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:06, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment A big part of WP:Notability is existence of coverage from which to create an article. After all of this discussion, and all of the months this article has existed, the entire coverage of the topic in this article is one "it happened"sentence and IMO this is due to the lack of GNG coverage. The other sentence is basically saying "three other events like this happened". IMO this is best covered in a broader article, doubly so because such would inherently provide the context which seems to be the crux of many opinions posted here. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 17:37, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect‎ to Proto-Indo-European mythology#Water deities. Liz Read! Talk! 22:18, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

*Deh₂nu[edit]

*Deh₂nu (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)

This is one of a number of pages about proto-indo-european reconstructed deities. A few of these are genuinely independently notable, such as *Dyēus, but mostly they are highly speculative. This one in particular is very speculative, and the page itself quotes the best authority on this as "there is really no evidence for a specific river goddess". The encyclopaedic information on this page can all be found at Proto-Indo-European mythology and there is nothing that can be spun out from that page that does not leap into the grounds of speculation, WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. Although I don't oppose a redirect, I don't really think anyone is going to be typing *Deh₂nu into search (and even if they did, they would find that page), so delete is probably better.

  • Delete. Not enough information to justify an article separate from Proto-Indo-European mythology. Occidental𓍝Phantasmagoria [T/C] 18:16, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Proto-Indo-European mythology#Water deities: The relevant things to say about the idea may already be present there, but as *Deh₂nu has an average of 11 hits per day and Deh₂nu has 5 I think a redirect is useful, even if a part of those hits are clicks on the link at that target, and because WP:Redirects are cheap. So no reason not go that WP:Alternative to deletion which also preserves the content in the history for possible future use. Daranios (talk) 19:15, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreeing with Daranios, unless this AfD finds compelling reason that the article history should be deleted. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 01:17, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As I said in the nomination, I don't oppose a redirect, but just to note that the page history is not deleted when a page is deleted, it is merely hidden. The revision history is still publicly accessible. Here is an example from another of these.[39] The content of the page will not be publicly accessible though, although undeletion requests can be made to Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion‎, and these are typically restored to draft space for editors to work on and develop.
    A good case for retaining history, accessibly with a redirect, can be made if there is information here that is not on or from the proposed redirect target that might conceivably be used there. That might include references 3-6 on this page, although in my opinion, 3, 4, and 6 are self published and not WP:RS. 5 is a conference paper that does at least speak about Dánu and speculates *deh2nu- or *dánu- as proto-indo-european (PIE) roots. Then it speaks of Dánava and finds PIE roots in *dánawo-, dánu-. That one is relevant and could be sufficient reason to redirect, although it is OR to find and settle on *Deh₂nu as the name of a reconstructed goddess as the paper comes to no such conclusions, and is, in any case, a conference paper self published by its author.

Page was recently moved to mainspace despite the AfC comments. I think that this is still WP:TOOSOON, so it should not have an article yet, seeing that even the 2030 Winter Olympics does not yet have an official host city. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 16:34, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Delete per nom. Tw294 (talk) 16:57, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you meant Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2036 Summer Olympics. Frank Anchor 23:17, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move The argument for deletion, in the nom, is a mix of personal objection on the theoretical basis that events to happen sooner aren't fully confirmed, and invoking WP:TOOSOON even though that largely (if not entirely) focuses on things that have already happened and we can't yet tell if it will have lasting notability - the opposite of the situation here (future event which, if it happens, definitely will). Could just say close this per no actual reason being given to delete.
    But since it's been brought up, let's evaluate it. The subject has extensive coverage in sources, and the article includes good use of them, so except for bureaucratic reasons (if it was wholesale copyvio/zero source-text integrity, neither of which appear to be the case) there isn't a policy reason to delete. However, the focus of those sources, while describing the event, is of course on the bidding at this point in time. So I agree with the other users that a move to Bids for the 2034 Winter Olympics, also matching precedent, is the solution here. Kingsif (talk) 12:44, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move In the same vein, 2030 Winter Olympics should also be moved to Bids for the 2030 Winter Olympics. I think both were just created incorrectly as the games pages instead of the bid pages. The actual page 2034 Winter Olympics isn't usually created until it is awarded (which is happening in just 5 months).Chris1834 Talk 14:19, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move as suggested. As an article about the bidding process, it is actually well-sourced. Bearian (talk) 16:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move as per others. It's an article on proposed bids for the games, and so should be moved to that name. Not too soon for an article on the ongoing bidding process. Would also support similar move for 2030 Winter Olympics. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:52, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewed during NPP. No evidence of WP:Notability under GNG or SNG. Has been tagged for notability since November when the person who tagged it noted: "Content relies mostly on very minor sources, or alternatively, on more valid media in which subject is barely mentioned. See for instance the Herald article, where Jay Sutherland is not even mentioned!" I agree with this. Regarding coverage, none of the large amount of sources cover him. Regarding possible SNG, I found nothing....basically a student activist. Also tagged for COI. Probably due to the great effort to create this when there is no real coverage of him in the sources.

We are here to write about subjects in a way that's useful to the general reader, not act as a webhost for indiscriminate railway statistics and trainspotting.

In the original article, a map would give the general reader a much more accessible overview than this over-sized table, so I'd have no objection to it vanishing from the main article too.

    is equivalent to trying to have a table on every individual Shinkansen service

    What I mean is that we do not describe each individual run of a Shinkansen service. There is no information about what exact time the Shinkansen runs, only the types of service and a general routing. In this case we are describing each individual service with the train number and exact timetable, that is too much. The "names" of the services are also noting more than "[START] - [END] Vande Bharat Express" which is generally a sign it should not be having an article. Jumpytoo Talk 17:13, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Travel guides: an article on Paris should mention landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, but not the telephone numbers or street addresses of the "best" restaurants, nor the current price of a café au lait on the Champs-Élysées. Wikipedia is not the place to recreate content more suited to entries in hotel or culinary guides, travelogues, and the like. Notable locations may meet the inclusion criteria, but the resulting articles need not include every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel or venue, etc. While travel guides for a city will often mention distant attractions, a Wikipedia article for a city should list only those that are actually in the city. If you do wish to help write a travel guide, your contributions would be more than welcome at our sister project, Wikivoyage.

Non-notable political candidate and former State Department staffer. He's gotten plenty of news coverage, but it mostly seems to be routine campaign coverage from local news outlets. The only national outlet is Politico and they only give him brief mentions. Outside of that, I don't see the argument that he meets WP:GNG.

Non-notable political candidate. His campaign announcement got coverage in major publications, but that is to be expected of any candidate in a U.S. Senate race. Outside of his campaign, he's only been covered by minor crypto blogs, so I don't think he meets WP:GNG. Also, this article is literally a press release. My favorite lines are "Deaton emphasizes his background as a fighter for the little guy against greedy corporations" and "John Deaton's personal story is marked by overcoming adversity" (yes, they wikilinked "adversity"). I'd support a redirect to 2024 United States Senate election in Massachusetts. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 06:47, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The viability of disregarding a person, which in this case is a candidate in the public interest, and my contribution deserves consideration. At least until it no longer is in the public interest. Afterward public interest/history of this person has passed, I agree the page should be deleted. People go to Wikipedia to get information about political races. Purely including pages of an incumbent and removing those that aren't for those who are established should be treated fair by editors. I'll certainly delete some of the editorial aspects included, but the page should at least remain until after elections. Dema9049 (talk) 14:25, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A CNBC article [49] is primarily about somoene who works for his law firm sending make-up to be tested for asbestos, which he gave a quote for, and [50] Reiterates the last article, but with the company saying there's no asbestos and he couldn't be reached for comment. A Reuters articles [51] is primarily about an XRP court case which mentions him as representing the XRP holders and quotes a tweet, another [52] referencing an amicus brief his firm filed. I don't see any of them being significantly about him, the Fox Buisness thats he's appeared on [53] is him giving his opinion on Sam Bankman-Fried and [54] is him giving his views on the Ripple-XRP court case he was involved in.

  • Comment. He is presently a political candidate, but that doesn't appear to be all the coverage of him that's out there from RS. From what I can find, there appears to be some coverage in the context of a false arrest lawsuit stemming from his 2018 arrest, as well as a Lawyer of the Year award from Rhode Island Lawyers Weekly, a trade publication. This doesn't amount to WP:NBIO, but I'm having a hard time using my standard news search stuff since I'm running into a wall of cryptocurrency-specific sources. That coverage is expected given his history in the area, but it's making it harder than usual to search for RS, so I'm leaving this as a bold comment rather than a !vote one way or the other until I can figure out a better way to filter through sourcing. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 06:11, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete‎. On a pure nose count this might be a "no consensus", but as always, this is not a vote. The majority of "keep" arguments do not argue for a reason to keep based in policy, and I think there is some well-founded doubt about how they arrived as well.

Fails WP:BIO and WP:NPOL. He's worked for some notable politicians, though I can't find reliable, secondary sources in a WP:BEFORE search to confirm many of the unsourced claims made here. All I can find is passing mentions of him in articles about Florida politics. He may well have worked for some US presidents and senators, but on Wikipedia, notability is not inherited. Wikishovel (talk) 16:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the claims made here by Wikishovel and others. The subject has an entire Wall Street Journal profile about him and is mentioned on the White House website when he was appointed to serve last year on the US Holocaust Memorial Council. Not to mention he has been deputy national finance chair for the Democratic National Committee and Biden Victory Fund for many years. Also look at the awards section. It is clear these items sufficiently demonstrate notability. Andrewjacobson6 (talk) 06:29, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Being named to a planning council for a government project doesn't get you notability. Rest is routine political work. Deputy finance guy for a national campaign is office work. Oaktree b (talk) 18:21, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I thought the article was coming along well - also thanks to your help - and I am really surprised that you suddenly decided it should be wiped out altogether. I started the article because his name comes up often in certain circles and I didn't see any write-up about him on Wikipedia. I came up with quite a bit of material about him, and the sources looked reliable to me, so it is hard for me to believe you say he is not notable.
If he was profiled in the Wall Street Journal, his appointments have been noted by the White House, and his work has been covered in all the Florida newspapers, it is hard for me to understand the arguments cited above about not being worthy of a Wikipedia article. Strange. Also the fact that the person who wants this article deleted worked pretty hard to make it better. There is always room for improvement and as I have learned since starting to edit here, Wikipedia articles are a work in progress. When more information and sources become available, they can be added. But I can't see a reason why this article should be deleted altogether.--Hazooyi (talk) 08:35, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

His roles include serving on the Biden-Harris 2020 National Finance Committee, the Democratic National Committee, and the United States Conference of Mayors (https://www.usmayors.org/).

User:Wikishovel, well, I was I am curious why would you ask that and whether you ask other editors such questions. Shulalevin (talk) 15:28, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, I would ask the same question of User:Andrewjacobson6, whose post above was their first edit, five minutes after account creation. My guess is that there's an online discussion forum or social media thread someplace, where this AFD was mentioned. There's nothing wrong with your having posted here on that basis, but if someone involved with editing the article was WP:Canvassing for support there, then that would be a problem.

  • Keep. This individual has been significantly covered by multiple independent reliable sources in the context of multiple events (i.e. this individual easily passes WP:GNG/WP:NBASIC). Such sources include a ~2,250-word profile in The Wall Street Journal from 2008 and coverage in The South Florida Sun-Sentinel from 2004 and also from 2008. There is also some less substantial coverage of him in The Miami Herald (regarding his non-political work), NBC News (2003, 2013; each regarding his role as a fundraiser), The Tampa Bay Times (regarding his appointment to Chair of the Governor's Cabinet of the Democratic Governors' Association), The New York Times (with coverage of his 2007 wedding, as well as more passing mention in 2011 regarding fundraising). Appeals to WP:NPOL are a bit spurious; his notability does not come from holding or running for public office, and he himself is not a politician in a plain sense. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:31, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure I agree the coverage is as significant as you make it out to be beyond the WSJ article, though there are a couple articles that are paywalled for me. It's not enough for me to change my vote, though. SportingFlyer T·C 16:36, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm also not sure of the significance of those references. Most are from at least 15 years ago, and passing mention of being appointed to an administrative position of a body for which he does not qualify for membership (the DGA) also does not signify notability.

  • Delete Non-notable activist/operative. No significant news coverage. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 04:01, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The sources identified by Red-tailed hawk, particularly features in the Wall Street Journal and South Florida Sun-Sentinel, show that the subject passes the GNG. Coverage is sustained over much of the early 2000s due to the subject's activities as a lobbyist and fundraiser. Jfire (talk) 05:49, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The subject clearly passes WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG given the coverage outlined most granularly by Red-tailed hawk above, including citations that are not yet listed in the article itself, such as coverage by the New York Times of his wedding, suggesting he is a notable figure. These items make clear he is not just a lawyer or fundraiser but a figure recognized by both the political and media establishment. Andrewjacobson6 (talk) 08:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Second "keep" by User:Andrewjacobson6 struck. We all get to post a recommendation once at an WP:AFD, and then comment on the recommendations made.
A reply would also be helpful from you, and from article creator @Hazooyi:: was there a discussion about this AFD elsewhere, online or offline, that prompted you to create an account and immediately post here? @Shulalevin: has also not yet answered a similar question above. Wikishovel (talk) 08:53, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think we can assume that the article creator, who was active a day before this was nominated for deletion, and who also was given a notification about the deletion on their talk page, was not inappropriately canvassed to this. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 16:28, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm asking the article creator if they know anything about offline canvassing for this AFD, from which it appears that User:Andrewjacobson6 and User:Shulalevin responded. Wikishovel (talk) 16:43, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you mean me, I am sorry that I didn't answer sooner. I am still not familiar with all the terminology you are using. I have been reading up on Wikipedia policies in order to edit properly, but I'm not sure what you mean about "canvassing." I started editing Wikipedia a few months ago and until now felt like it was fun and a great learning experience. But now all of a sudden I am being attacked from all sides and my work is being disparaged and treated like garbage. I have worked hard to create an article on a person whose name kept coming up and had none. Why all this "assumption of bad faith" to use some Wikipedia lingo I have seen being used? I don't even know any other Wikipedia editors. Now it's not so much fun anymore. It feels like a threatening and unfriendly place. I do wish I could say nice to meet you...--Hazooyi (talk) 17:07, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody is saying your work is garbage, and I'm not assuming bad faith, I'm trying to work out why there are some odd responses in this discussion. Did you mention this deletion discussion elsewhere online? That's what I'm asking you.
I'm also asking User:Andrewjacobson6 and User:Shulalevin to reply to my questions to them above. Wikishovel (talk) 17:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What kind of discussion do you mean? Where would I mention it? I have never had any contact with anyone on Wikipedia except for someone who wrote to me on my page about something they thought should be changed in an article I edited, and I said they were welcome to make that change. The only others who have contacted me are you and Bastun, to leave me messages that I can only understand as a wish for me and my work to disappear from the stage and leave Wikipedia to those are apparently smarter and better at editing than me. Not encouraging to say the least. And the continuing hostility towards anyone who thinks the article has some value is making me rethink if I want to contribute here...And by the way, after hearing all the criticism against this article, I went to look at others that were targeted for deletion. Amazingly, articles of two sentences and one reference at most were considered fine and the motion was to keep them. So really, it seems as if this article is being singled out in a strange way. If you are asking how people got to the page about this individual, I wonder how you got there? Is there some kind of red button that goes off when someone creates an article related to American politics?--Hazooyi (talk) 17:56, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is what it says at the top of this page: You are invited to participate and your opinion is welcome. Remember to assume good faith on the part of others. If you ask me, you have no right to interrogate anyone.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hazooyi (talk • contribs)
I'm not interrogating you. I'm asking you if you mentioned this AFD elsewhere online: on social media, maybe? Because that would explain User:Andrewjacobson6 and User:Shulalevin showing up and posting as they did. If you did that, because you didn't know it was against Wikipedia's rules, then that's OK. I just want to know. Wikishovel (talk) 18:11, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the rogue "keep" comments coming out of the woodwork appear to be the most notable thing this guy has done recently. It reads very much like a resume, and not an encyclopedic article. Not everyone that knows or works with a sitting president meets notability guidelines. WP:RESUME

  • Delete The other delete votes provide the same explanation that I would for deleting, so see above.

Declined G4. Subject was not notable enough in a previous AfD in June 2023, and I'm not sure why an article now should be warranted.

Biography of a politician, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL. The main notability claim here is that he was mayor of a small town, which is not an automatic inclusion freebie in and of itself -- mayors don't automatically get articles just because they existed, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on substantive coverage and analysis about their mayoralty: specific things they did, specific projects they spearheaded, specific effects their leadership had on the development of the town they were mayor of, and on and so forth, but there's absolutely none of that here.
The only other notability claim being attempted here is that he was the grandfather of a more notable person -- but notability is not inherited, and people who are not themselves notable in their own right don't get articles just because they were related to other people. And the footnotes here are both just genealogy sites, which are not support for notability at all, rather than reliable source media coverage or books about him to establish his notability.
This is different enough in form from the first version to not qualify for immediate speedy as a recreation of deleted content, but it isn't providing any stronger evidence that he would pass any notability criteria in his own right independently of being a grandfather.

  • Delete The only sources I could find were either for his relation to Ford or people with similar names in other parts of the country. While it's impossible to know what else there is in newspapers that havent been digitaly archived without looking thorugh them, I can't see anything to meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOLITICIAN.

Delete I would agree. He initially seemed notable to me, being the grandfather of a president and being the mayor of a town, but if one cannot find more sources, I myself would encourage deletion of the page. Thanks - Roger — Preceding undated comment added 19:08, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftify Redirect: If @RogerNotable wants some time to look up other sources, that's fine with me as an alternative to deletion alternative to deletion. Regarding lack of newspaper coverage, that's not a major concern for me since historical newspapers are usually primary sources. I'm also not concerned that this page was deleted before; the first deletion discussion was largely "per nom" and conclusory !votes. Given that Gardner was Gerald Ford's grandfather, I suggest that Roger look at some biographies of Ford to see if there's any significant coverage of Gardner in them. If he was notable during his life, there might also be entries in biographical encyclopedias, such as The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography. If those searches turn up nothing, I would think Gardner is probably not notable.

Eluchil404 (talk) 00:53, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I'm fairly confident we can find sources to support an article of reasonable size, though whether it will meet notability criteria is another question. I can't access The Chicago Tribune, but I am seeing hits at 1 and 2. I've added a source from the Ford Library Museum, and can see more coming (e.g. 3, 4). My instinct is that there is a possibility of notability that does not merit deletion, so preserving the page history by redirecting to a sensible target is a preferable WP:ATD than deletion, if the article cannot be kept. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 03:16, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Also seeing local newspaper hits I can't access: 5 and 6. To be honest, these kinds of sources are probably the most likely to establish notability independent of the subject's family. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 04:13, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Indeed, at the time of her marriage in 1912, The Harvard Herald spoke of Dorothy as "one of the most popular of Harvard young ladies" (7), which suggests to me that there is likely plenty of historical local newspaper coverage about the family.

  • Redirect to Dorothy Ayer Gardner Ford. I've incorporated the sources I found into the article. The sources do not suggest notability independent from the subject's involvement in his daughter's marriage or his being Ford's grandfather: when the subject is discussed, it is always in either context. The sources I have added contain details about Ford's relationship to his daughter which an interested editor could merge into Dorothy's entry. As a WP:ATD, preserving the page history allows the article to be recreated if further sources emerge: there are likely to be further sources offline that an interested editor could consult, and I don't think it's unreasonable for some local historian or newspaper to run an article on the early politics of Harvard someday which might push notability. If someone could also check out the Chicago Tribune sources above that I can't access, I'd be grateful to know if they add anything. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 04:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Based on the article subject's location, it seems unlikely that she would receive English-language coverage unless she attains international fame, which is not a threshold for notability.

  • IP, please review Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Reasons_for_deletion. However unfortunately, policy fails to say that either "Material only sparsely provided with references to reliable sources" or "Advertising or other spam" is to be deleted. "Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content" is to be deleted; and of course it's easy for a starstruck fan, some well-meaning but otherwise deluded person, or of course a PR company, to leaven the promotional junk with some "relevant or encyclopedic content" (not least because what the content should be "relevant" to goes unspecified). Thank you for drawing our attention to the wretched article John Klass, but this discussion is limited to the encyclopediaworthiness of Charmaine Yee. -- Hoary (talk) 00:20, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Trinity College: An interview, so a primary source from what I understand.
    • The Straits Times: Owned by the same company (SPH Media) as the radio station she worked for, so not independent.
    • Kiss92: doesn't even support the claim that's made, but even if it did, it's her own radio station so not independent.
    • YouTube: a primary source.
    • Hotfrog: A business directory whose Products & Services describes how one can "book Charmaine for your next Dinner Dance, Wedding Event, Birthday Party...", so I suspect non-independent.

Hi User4edits,
What parts of the article caused you to think that the article failed the Notability and that the article is Unencyclopedic? Haniya01 (talk) 22:30, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Haniya01The subject (individual) is not notable as explained above by Oaktree, and the entire article is pretty much unencyclopedic, and looks like created by someone having a close connection with the subject. User4edits (talk) 09:19, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for explaining, I was the one who wrote it btw, I agree that when searching for this person on Google, nothing comes up - I had to go to history archive centers (for example, British Library, etc.) in the UK and pay some money to view the old newspapers and books from 1850s to 1930s. Is there a rule on wikipedia that states that sources (like archive newspapers and books) that a person must pay to see, cannot be referenced and that this fails notability?
In regards to the second point, perhaps the writing style of the paper needs to be changed to make encyclopedic? Haniya01 (talk) 11:34, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You may want to read Wikipedia:NOTNEWSPAPER and if you are eligible, try Wikipedia:WikiLibrary. You can begin familiarising yourself with the rules of Wikipedia at Wikipedia:Five pillars. Thanks, User4edits (talk) 12:48, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for sharing all this, I am still in the process of uncovering more evidence like specific names of books, official government letters, etc. on all this. This process can take months, especially since the British Library recently experienced a big cyber attack and their whole system is down.
Do you think I should just delete all my information for now and get this Aurangzeb page back to its 2019 format (you can probably see how it was gonna be deleted back then but the decision was to keep it)? Haniya01 (talk) 14:52, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I am no authority here. Wikipedia is Consensus based. However, you seem to deviating the subject, what is being asked is the following
Can you explain why this person is notable as per WP:NBIO?
Thanks, User4edits (talk) 15:11, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for highlighting the question, here is my response:
According to academic journals - during the 1860s-1900s - it was very hard for Indian origin people to enter Indian Civil Service (aka British Indian Government), particularly higher rank positions like Extra Assistant Commissioner. In fact, there are articles, books and journals from many places on how there was a tension between British rule and the Indian people. Take this statistic, for example, between 1871 and 1878, only 5 out of 46 Indian candidates successfully passed the entrance exam for Indian Civil Service.
Based on these challenging circumstances, Aurangzeb Khan (a person of Indian origin) was able to get that higher rank position, Extra Assistant Commissioner - his rank is mentioned in this book (Gazetteer of The Jhelum District 1904. Punjab Government. pp. 103–107. ISBN 969-35-1558-7)
Also, he got that Khan Bahadur title award (https://books.google.com.sa/books?id=zykYAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA17&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false)
From the articles I found there was a major project to colonize 2 million acres of land (which would be left barren) - which Aurangzeb was a part of (I am in the research process of finding more books, government letters, etc. for evidence)
I know you shared the link that newspapers are not usually valid for sources, but this newspaper called the Civil & Military Gazette was only for Government and Military news. Note that the Civil and Military Gazette are the ones who originally published the book I shared above titled Gazetteer of The Jhelum District. 1904. Haniya01 (talk) 18:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1. Getting into civil service is not notable, unless he was the first Indian to get into Indian Civil Service.
2. An additional/ancillary subordinate to the Commissioner (which heads a small district) is not notable. Gazette of a district looks like a WP:PSTS, nonetheless, I looked into the gazetteer you mentioned, and
the subject is no way mentioned from p103-107, but I only found an obscure running mention among other names at pg. 107.
3. I never said newspaper is not a valid source, rather it is a good one provided if it's WP:SIGCOV, what I said, and will repeat extensively
please see What Wikipedia is not, among others, it is not a family or clan archive.
4. As for Khan Bahadur title, it was a low-level local title granted to many, not a national award such as those coming within Order of the British Empire.
Finally, These do not answer the question of WP:NBIO. User4edits (talk) 04:50, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Please look again at the gazetteer I mentioned (https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.105610/page/n127/mode/2up) On page 107, it says "the principal Mair headmen are Khan Bahadar Chaudri Aurangzeb Khan, retired Extra Assistant Commissioner, of Chakwal, and his brother Abbas Khan.." After that there are 10 other names mentioned.
  2. Also, listen we are both on the same page in the sense of enjoying to ensure things are done in accordance to guidelines. As I mentioned earlier, I am in the middle of the process of collecting evidence (book names, Government letters, etc.) and that the British Library experienced a major cyber attack and this has slowed down my process for months. Even though Aurangzeb Khan was just a Assistant Extra Commissioner, his impactful work caused the British Government to treat him like first/second class Military Grantee and award him accordingly. Again, I am in a middle of a process of collecting more evidence so here is a resolution. You can delete the page for now and later (in the future), I will re-write this page on Wiki and I will even invite you to come and check my page and all that evidence.

  • Keep: On three observations I made, kindly don't disappoint because I don't go for delete all the time.
    1. Comparing with 2019 revision and this current version, and per @User4edits: mentioned before, the user added most of the information with citations which are failing WP:N. But still, I think we must keep it.
    2.The main thing we can do is cleanup the mess, yet keeping some valuable information, if passed per WP:N.
    3. The user seems to be much defending that normal users does on defending. So if they are connected to the person, kindly follow the WP:COI and do the necessary measures. And if you want to expand it, kindly follow WP:GNG, WP:N and the content along with citation, which will be verified by an experienced user.
    User4edits, correct me if I'm wrong. CSMention269 (talk) 15:55, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Major problem here is not just notability but the sources itself that incline more towards unreliability. See WP:RS. Even the verification is impossible. Links provided do not have any mention on the subject. Even a simple Google search does not give any detail about this subject's background or enough for this subject notable enough to have a page of his own.

Delete unfortunately, as a nice piece of personal original research. It's been pieced together from primary sources and deductions. It ought to be published somewhere; the world really needs a place for this sort of article, but it's not Wikipedia. We are an encyclopaedia, a tertiary source, and can only have an article on him after he's been discussed by historians in secondary sources. Elemimele (talk) 21:10, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @Elemimele . Even though you are voting 'Delete', you did this in a polite and respectful manner. People like you restore my hope for Wikipedia.
I was shocked by the disrespect @User4edits showed to me earlier. This person said I was lying about Aurangzeb Khan's name being mentioned on page 107 in this book (https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.105610/page/n127/mode/2up) and calling it a 'obscure running mention among other names'.
Then, I called User4edits out by directly quoting the line where it mentions Aurangzeb Khan's name, "the principal Mair headmen are Khan Bahadar Chaudri Aurangzeb Khan, retired Extra Assistant Commissioner, of Chakwal, and his brother Abbas Khan.." User4edits did not even apologize for what he/she said. Haniya01 (talk) 22:35, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1 Secondary Source Found: Thanks to the explanations about what a secondary source is by @Elemimele and @DarmaniLink , I found one secondary source that mentions Aurangzeb Khan. This article was published in 2015. Is this source acceptable?
https://www.dawn.com/news/1165156
This secondary source is about Aurangzeb Khan's son and how he used his dad's land/house to establish a college in a rural city called Chakwal.
This article says "His father Raja Aurangzeb Khan served on top civil positions during the British rule. His father also served as first colonisation officer during the establishment of Lyalpur city...All his life, he patronised Islamia High School Chakwal which was founded by his father Raja Aurangzeb Khan...Currently the grand bungalow built by his father, Raja Auranzeb Khan, is the oldest preserved building in the city...The bungalow which has 52 rooms and a spacious lawn used to serve as the court of Raja Auranzeb Khan who was also appointed the honorary magistrate."
Earlier User4edits said that, 'Getting into civil service is not notable, unless he was the first Indian to get into Indian Civil Service.' Well, this secondary source article states that Aurangzeb Khan served as the first colonization officer alongside other key aspects like being a honorary Magistrate.
Lastly, here is a Wikipedia page about the list of Indian people in Indian Civil Service (List of Indian members of the Indian Civil Service). This list shows Wikipedia pages about people who were also magistrates such as Brajendranath De and Maharajadhiraj Sir Rameshwar Singh Bahadur . Haniya01 (talk) 18:56, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
4 NEW Secondary Sources Found (if Dawn article included - see my comment above-, then it adds up to 5 secondary sources)
  1. Book: Gazetteer of Chenab Colony 1904 (https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.531219/page/n49/mode/2up). On PDF page 50-51 (book page 34-35) it says, "...when Captain Popham Young was leaving the colony in 1899. The Raja referred to is Choudhri Aurangzeb Khan, Khan Bahadur, then Assistant Colonization Officer" - this ballad shows how these three established the city of Lyallpur (current day Faisalabad, the industrial city and 3rd largest city of Pakistan).
  2. Pakistan Government Website for the 'Brief History of Faisalabad' (https://faisalabad.dc.lhc.gov.pk/PublicPages/HistoryOfDistrict.aspx). "The first colonisation officer Aurangzeb Khan made sure that no individual in this district owned more than 25 squares (625 acres (2.53 km2)) of land. The merit or method of allotting the land was to check each individual's hand who was applying for some land, and if the hands showed that individual had worked hard in the past, only then was land given to him, which has led to a district where there aren't any big land owners, as the land has been equally distributed amongst hard working men and it is their hard work that has led to Faisalabad becoming the third richest district in Pakistan." This paragraph shows how Aurangzeb Khan's land allocation system allowed Faisalabad to become 3rd richest district in Pakistan. Also, that he is the first colonization officer (this point is also mentioned in the Dawn article).
  3. Pakistan Government Book called 'District Gazetteers Faisalabad 2021' (https://bor9.pitb.gov.pk/system/files/Faisalabad.pdf). It repeats the same paragraph as my bullet point 2 and on page 225, it mentions 2 of Aurangzeb Khan's sons - Raja Sher Muhammad Khan and Raja Akbar Khan.
  4. Book: Animal Labor and Colonial Welfare by James L. Hevia published in 2018 (https://books.google.com.sa/books?id=hglkDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA303&lpg=PA303&dq=IOR/L/MIL/7/6687:+report+of+the+transport+committee+1897+Government+Central+Printing+Office,+1897&source=bl&ots=7rkuc33hqS&sig=ACfU3U25pwNFyyziPqztyb19ZBokffVwSQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi20PPZi8eEAxXEVqQEHcugCGMQ6AF6BAgNEAM#v=onepage&q=aurangzeb%20khan&f=false). In Chapter 6 titled 'Indian Army Reform and the Creation of a Permanent Transport Establishment' - Aurangzeb Khan's transport and animal breeding proposal is discussed in detail and how the Stanford Transport Committee ended up picking his proposal. This is done from pages 167-170 and on page 167, its starts as, "Choudri Aurangzeb Khan, the assistant colonization officer in the Chenab canal colony..."

Juggi published in 2022 (https://books.google.com.sa/books?hl=en&lr=&id=-BBlEAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PT6&dq=aurangzeb+khan+lyallpur&ots=MICsOnsCzM&sig=Z5GjYm8zw6N_JIz0yucBwMsQW7o&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=aurangzeb%20khan%20&f=false). On page 13 it says, “My grandfather was in the employ of Chaudhry Raja Aurangzeb Khan, one of the descendants of Chaudhry Subhan Kuli Khan, and later on his son Chaudhry Raja Sarfraz Khan as administrator of their estates in Lyallpur (now Faisalabad, Pakistan) area of British Punjab around 1900…The father of Chaudhry Raja Sarfraz Khan, Chaudhry Raja Aurangzeb Khan, built a colonial bungalow on the flatlands, facing the Kot, south of old Chakwal city in 1873. The house is still used as a family home of his descendants and remains the oldest building in the area and seat of the Chaudhry’s of Chakwal, sometimes referred to as Chaudhrials.”. Raja Sarfraz Khan, also known as Raja Muhammad Sarfraz Khan, is mentioned in the Dawn article I shared in my comments above. That Dawn article also mentions how the bungalow is the oldest building in Chakwal and that this was built in 1873.
  2. Book: A Journey to Disillusionment by Sherbaz Khan Mazari published in 2000 by Oxford University Press (https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Disillusionment-Sherbaz-Khan-Mazari/dp/0195790766). I am referring to the 2nd edition - please see this link (https://sanipanhwar.com/A%20Journey%20to%20Disillusionment%20-%20Sherbaz%20Khan%20Mazari.pdf). On PDF page 20 (book page 17), it says, " During the minority of my brothers and I, Rahimyar Khan managed the tribal affairs in our stead. Our property was placed under the management of Khan Bahadur Aurangzeb Khan, a Punjab civil service officer, who reported directly to the District Deputy Commissioner, who was our official guardian.". In the Wikipedia Aurangzeb Khan article, look under Section Early Career and Education, Sub-Section Social Welfare. There I mention how Aurangzeb Khan looked after an estate with the Deputy Commissioner.

On page 2, 2nd column (in the 2nd paragraph), it says, "...Raja Aurangzeb of Chakwal is a retired Government officer (probably an E. A. C) who wields enormous influence in the ilaqa. Three of his relatives are said to have been amoung the incendiaries. There is little wonder therefore that Sheikh Fazal Shah, the Inspector deputed to make inquires, postponed the statements of the aggrieved Sikhs, after they were half taken down until the arrival of Raja Aurangzeb who was away from Chakwal."

URLs Found for Some Old Sources
The references I used when I published the article during Jan. 2024 did not have a URL because I accessed them from the British Library. Even though Wikipedia's Notability clearly states, "Sources do not have to be available online ", some editors did not understand this.
Today, I found a database for The Civil & Military Gazette where the URL shows that Aurangzeb Khan's name is mentioned.
This is what I found so far:

11 ADDITIONAL Sources Found (4 Books, 6 Gov. Reports and UK House of Commons doc.)
If you look at my comments above and add everything up, then this is a total of 19 new sources.
  1. Book: 'The Pakistan Gazetteer Volume 4' published during Year 2000 by Cosmo Publications (https://books.google.com.sa/books?redir_esc=y&hl=ar&id=YwEwAQAAIAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=aurangzeb+khan) - Its the same information as the Gazetteer of Chenab Colony 1904.
  2. Book: 'Who's who in India, Containing Lives and Portraits of Ruling Chiefs, Notables, Titled Personages, and Other Eminent Indians' published in 1911 by Newul Kishore Press (https://books.google.com.sa/books?redir_esc=y&hl=ar&id=YbssAQAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=chakwal) it says, "Aurangzeb Khan, Chaudri, Khan Bahadur, of Chakwal: Retired Extra Assistant Commissioner; title conferred on May 25th, 1894, in recognition of his public services. Address..." You need to search the word 'Chakwal' to find him.
  3. Book: 'Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf, ʻOmān, and Central Arabia: Historical. 4 v' published in 1970 by author John Gordon Lorimor and publisher Gregg (https://books.google.com.sa/books?redir_esc=y&hl=ar&id=NL0sAQAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=chakwal) it says, "Aurangzeb Khan, Chaudri, Khan Bahadur, of Chakwal: Retired Extra Assistant Commissioner; title conferred on May 25th, 1894, in recognition of his public services.

It says, "Aurangzeb Khan, Chaudhri, Khan Bahadur, Rajput. Home of family: Jhelum District - Joined the Service, 5th Jan. 1869. Born, 1849...." Then, the table gives exact dates of when he got what position. This is a big discovery and I will update the wiki page to match this timeline.

  11. Gov. Report: 'Report of the Land Revenue Administration of the Punjab' published by Punjab Department of Revenue and Agriculture during 1891. (https://www.google.com.sa/books/edition/Report_on_the_Land_Revenue_Adminstration/K5Q-AQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1) On pages 38-39 it says, "Very considerable attention has been paid to irrigation during the past year, the greatest activity having been shown as usual in the Pasrur tehsil. The tahsildar, Aurangzeb Khan, has continued his efforts to restore old embankments and erect new ones where necessary. The great Satrah band has been strengthened and improved, and a number of new embankments have been made in the greater kalar plain to the south-west of the tehsil. The results of this energy are very apparent in the area and crop returns… The work done by Aurangzeb Khan is more especially deserving of praise."

Update - Based on my previous comments, you see that 19 new sources have been recently discovered. Naturally, the Wikipedia page for Aurangzeb Khan needs a update/edit so these new sources are incorporated. I have started this process. Today I re-wrote the beginning of the article. I hope that in the next few days, I gradually update each section (for example, Background, Early Career and Education, etc.). I will respond to this comment when I am done with this process and/or if I have any question about this process. Haniya01 (talk) 18:37, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify - Give the author a chance to make it notable, and for the article to be cleaned up. Deleting it won't free up space, so there's little reason not to. This article is extremely well written and frankly it just needs some secondary sources to establish notability. It should have to go through AfC however before returning to mainspace, with a special note that there must be secondary sources. DarmaniLink (talk) 22:59, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @DarmaniLink. I am the author of this page.
Even if this page becomes a draft, @User4edits will not allow it to be published.
I am saying this based on 2 things User4edits has done:
  1. During Jan. 2024, I created another page about Jehan Khan (Aurangzeb Khan's father) and submitted it for publication; HOWEVER, User4edits came in and stopped it from being published and accused me for lying and saying that Jehan Khan is not a Raja - I said Jehan Khan was known as either Raja Jehan Khan or Choudri Jehan Khan.
  2. Please look at my response to Elemimele's comment where I describe another example of when User4edits accused me for lying about Aurangzeb Khan's name being mentioned in a published book.
Haniya01 (talk) 23:32, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Based on these 2 points, I do not trust User4edits. If this page about Aurangzeb Khan becomes a draft, is it possible for me to ask either you @DarmaniLink and/or @Elemimele to check the draft and see if its good for publication? Haniya01 (talk) 23:34, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You could be a bit more civil towards user4edits, but, yeah, sure, I'll check it. But just so you know, I'll actually check it. :) If it needs more secondary sources, or the sources aren't clear enough, I'll tell you. DarmaniLink (talk) 23:45, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! Haniya01 (talk) 00:18, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You could also go through AFC after and get a far better opinion as well as instructions than I could give. DarmaniLink (talk) 00:53, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would have no objection to draftification and would also recommend AfC; it's slow, but it's a good way to get help and an independent evaluation. Elemimele (talk) 13:27, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

None of the sources establish notability (one is AI generated), no recognition from any breed club, German article has no useful sources Traumnovelle (talk) 01:35, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. listed in the International Encyclopedia of Horse Breeds [68], and described in Horses of the World[69], and Wissenswertes über Pferde[70], which notes, as French Wikipedia does, that the breed merged into the regionalized Deutsches Sportpferd, apparently in 2003, which is why you're not finding a current breed club or stud book, but notability is not temporary, and we don't have a Deutsches Sportpferd article yet anyways to use as a merge target.--Jahaza (talk) 04:44, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Currently most of the article had to be removed due to a copyright violation. Are you familiar enough with horse breeds to be able to rewrite the article based on reliable soures? Traumnovelle (talk) 18:32, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    In light of that I'll change my stance to neutral although the article is in a semi-incomplete status due to the copyright violation. Traumnovelle (talk) 07:23, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, clearly notable even if now merged into another entity, the Deutsches Reitpferd. I've rewritten the page with ten solid sources after removing the foundational copyvio. A further nine links listed on the talk-page in 2008 seem to be fairly comprehensively dead. There are mentions (at least) in older sources such as this and this, but I can only get snippets so not enough to add them to the article.

  • Comment: So, did a bit more digging, looks like the film now has a release date (8 March 2024), and this release date announcement has been covered in a couple of independent publications, along with the announcements of when the film finished principal photography and when the edit lock happened - but then again, WP:RSNOI. If it's ultimately deemed non-notable now, chances are that the situation might change with its release next month, so maybe WP:DRAFTIFY if the current state of it is deemed non-notable, maybe 'just let it fester for a few weeks and take a look at it post-release' if it is deemed potentially-notable enough right now, idk what the correct course of action in these situations actually is. 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 22:09, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep or Draftify. Sourcing remains less than stellar but I see enough to plausibly claim to meet WP:NFILM with an immanent release date. Alternately send to draft until release to wait for a couple of reviews. Eluchil404 (talk) 00:06, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
