WP:BLP of a real estate businessperson and musician, who has no credible claim of notability under either WP:NBUSINESSPEOPLE or WP:NMUSIC and no strong reliable source coverage. As written, this literally just states that she exists without actually detailing any accomplishment that could actually be measured against either notability criterion -- and it sources the fact of her existence to one advertorially toned press release about her musical album and one glancing acknowledgement of her existence as a businessperson within an article that isn't about her. All of which means that nothing here passes any of Wikipedia's inclusion tests. Bearcat (talk) 23:55, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Advertorially toned WP:AUTOBIO (creator = Westk14) of a writer, with no strong claim of notability per WP:NAUTHOR and no strong reliable source coverage. This is based entirely on primary sources, except for one brief blurb about one of his books getting optioned for a television adaptation that never materialized and one Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself -- both of which would be fine for verifying additional facts if his notability had already been properly demonstrated by stronger sources, but neither of which can bring a WP:GNG pass by themselves as the only non-primary sources in an article. And even if he can be better sourced than this, our conflict of interest rules do not permit him to write the article himself, or to remove the autobio and advert and primary sourcing maintenance tags himself (as he did) without actually addressing the advertorialism or the sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 22:51, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is all true. Every part. Alas, I was told by a peer that most authors create a page for themselves and that was I was behind the times. Impressionable as I was, I did a quick job of it, but with an apparent lack of know-how and it seems now notability outside of my own crippling delusions of grandeur. I thought perhaps I had solved the issues when deleting said maintenance tags, though it appears I was wrong...probably because I had no idea what I was doing. Bearcat has caught me in a web of lies. In my meager defense, that television adaptation really is a thing, but I suppose that's besides the point. I did also actually publish those award-winning books, but to be honest, at least one of them was crap. Who knows...maybe all of them. I submit myself to Wikipedia's ruling council and move to strike my own article until I become famous enough to get one the honest way or wither back into comfortable obscurity. I don't think that was the self-promotional coup I was told after all. Anyway, as it seems that I can't fix the problems, let us delete this page and never speak of it again. As a last, lingering indication of my Wikipedia ineptitude, I have not added a single link to this paragraph. I was doomed from the beginning.

Fare well, Wikipedia. You spurned my affections, but one day I will make you love me again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.78.185 (talk) 23:42, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

<eyeroll> For the record, awards don't become NAUTHOR-passing notability until media write content about the award presentation — if the only source you can provide for an award win is either your own PR or the award's own self-published website about itself, because media coverage about it is nonexistent, then the award isn't a notability claim. Bearcat (talk) 00:09, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The Red Maple Award does have a lot of web coverage - over 4 million hits on Google - and, for obvious reasons, it has high visibility with Ontario public libraries. One could pick other sources for this award such as Quill & Quire and the Canadian Children's Book Centre which are significant sources in their field. The "Forest of Reading" (to which the Red Maple Award belongs) even made the CBC news. And, of course, the Edgar Award is also a big thing in its field. I think that the main problems with this article are conflict of interest and bad choices for sourcing not necessarily notability. --Big_iron (talk) 04:42, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

harrassment, bad community feedback Sweetcorn (msg) 22:40, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect (changed vote, see below) This is a unique circumstance where the population of the given area is extremely small, and as a result of the article, one of its residents is being harrassed (although there is no way to confirm this that I know of.) In gauging the reasonableness of this request, it is not impossible to imagine a scenario where information the editor added as a resident of the area ended up being too personal, and as a result of this, harrassment ensued. In meeting the deletion criteria, I believe the personal nature of the information may violate WP:NPOV but as the topic is a geographical location meeting WP:N the stronger argument would be to have the article redirect to another, such as Frassinoro; Or, if it remains, to have it stripped down to the bare minimums, as are other articles describing geographical locations.  Spintendo  ᔦᔭ  23:58, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep - per WP:NGEOG. The sources establish this is a real town. Having 740 residents is very modest, but not "extremely" small, I would think. This place is a unique enough location to have its own article. I'm not sure what the nominator means by "harrassment, bad community feedback", but they do not seem to understand deletion criteria. As for Spintendo's comment, personal harassment issues outside Wikipedia caused indirectly by the existence of content are not our concern, because we do not censor content, and there are no BLP violations. -Indy beetle (talk) 00:10, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The external links are the main source of concern here (one is active the other is not). Perusal of the one active link shows personal information inappropriate for use in the article, per: WP:LINKVIO. As I understand it, the person who took photographs displayed there has said that the person administering the linked-to website no longer has their permission to display them.  Spintendo  ᔦᔭ  00:45, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Spintendo: I'm confused as to why that would warrant deleting or redirecting the entire article. -Indy beetle (talk) 01:31, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Ignoring a couple of obvious WP:SPAs, there's only one legitimate user who's arguing to keep, and presented some possible sources. Unfortunately, other users didn't feel the sources presented met our requirements. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:35, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Run of the mill marketing product used by spammers; article has been under promotional pressure for many years now and remains low quality directory entry; high quality refs about it are scant and the article is sourced to spammy interviews now. Not worth our effort to try to maintain the quality of. Jytdog (talk) 22:31, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I got tired of copy/pasting sometime at 2013, just type in "getresponse" +email at Google Books. The article is promotional and needs a re-write, but the company definitely has notability. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 11:27, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • 1.@Bbarmadillo: Even if this company doesn't exist, whoever types "Get Response" in Google will get million of results. That is not indication of notability. See WP:GOOGLEHITS
  • 2. Calling this corporate spam as a "Well known solution" is another strong reason to delete it completely from Wikipedia. See WP:SOLUTION
  • 3. None of these bunch of google links are directly talking about Get Response as a company or it's history, structure and such things –Ammarpad (talk) 11:38, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, came to this AFD while reviewing the contributions of Bbarmadillo, later concluded his declared COI on his user page. Before making a comment here, tried to deep dive before drawing any conclusion, looked at the history of the page especially till this point by Northamerica1000. I can find several references until there, certainly obvious promotional content was deleted after that, however genuine references were also removed of this tech company. Checked previous AfD and comments by ThaddeusB & CorporateM, you cannot expect company's history and related things when you are talking about tech companies. For a tech company, you can neither expect references like a Bank, certainly it would talking about their product. The company is quoted in various other news sources, often mentioned in the list of Collaboration Tools by Forbes and several others. Wikipedia is a place for every industry and I'm thinking it is probably notable. Comment of ThaddeusB in the last AFD; Hundreds more sources exist in news stories and books exist. Really its not remotely close, but if there was any doubt this professional review by PC Magazine would seal it - PC Magazine does not write multi-page reviews of non-notable software. Naluchanda (talk) 14:36, 18 December 2017 (UTC) — Naluchanda (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • @Naluchanda: 1–Now one of the person you pinged in your comment is abstaining, meaning he no longer stand by his view of the previous (where he merely endorsed another viewpoint). This trumps your first point of using the previous AfD as a reason to keep this.
  • 2 –By this quote " For a tech company, you can neither expect references like a Bank, certainly it would [be] talking about their product. The company is quoted in various other news sources..." from your comment above, you give another reason to delete this article. Since the news sources are only talking about the product not the company, then you can use the sources and create article for the product. But before then read the guideline WP:PRODUCT to avoid creating one for non notable like this one –Ammarpad (talk) 14:29, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – Forbes references are actually by unpaid writers through "Forbes contributors" platform, not a reliable source! Persistent COI spam editing. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a vehicle for self-promotion. Citobun (talk) 14:13, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Well, to my experience, the software company is known in many communities I have been involved in. It doesn't really take long before I can say the company does satisfy the notability guidelines. Going further, the company did receive significant coverage from top publications in the field. I don't know what else those who voted a 'Delete' are expecting to revert. Being promotional is nothing but a shameful execuse to remove a well-known software provider from Wikipedia for fear that there is COI or UPD which has been denied.

This should be deleted or, at best, redirected to Akcent, as virtually all of Gruia's notability is contingent on his participation in that band, and in accordance with WP:MUSICBIO point 6. Let's go through the sources:

As this analysis demonstrates, nothing indicates that Gruia is notable outside having belonged to a single band. Therefore, we should delete. - Biruitorul Talk 22:19, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Biruitorul, I suspect you have a personal issue with the artist or you are a supporter of any of his competitors. Since I created this page, you are constantly trying to deny this page, not on rational but on the personal basis. He has become notable being part of the Akcent, but now he is a standalone and notable artist. Every artist starts their career from somewhere and later himself or herself become a notable person, so, relation to the initial starting point is not a factor to devalue or deny them from Wikipedia.

Also, what about his contributions as a composer? Do you suspect about his compositions? TMOR (talk) 10:46, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Yes, we were in primary school together and he called me a sissy once -- ever since then, my sole mission in life has been to destroy his career.
    • Seriously, though, if you want this article kept, forget diversions like what you "suspect" and please supply evidence that the subject passes any of the 12 WP:MUSICBIO criteria. - Biruitorul Talk 14:25, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Bully like you can't destroy his career. He is already an acclaimed artist. But you need to consider why were you blocked 4 times. Learn to argue on Wikipedia, it is not your company and I'm not your employee who will be ready to bear your uncultured behavior TMOR (talk) 20:07, 15 December 2017 (UTC).[reply]
"I'm not your employee" is typically not a winning argument on AfDs. If you wish to demonstrate the subject's notability via the usual way (explaining, preferably with reference to reliable sources, why the subject passes the notability criteria), great. If not, it's likely to be deleted. Your choice. - Biruitorul Talk 00:16, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The first thing is; if someone gets famous for a character in reference with a movie or band or something else, he/she is known by that character or as part of that thing. There are hundreds and thousands of articles which mention Leonardo DiCaprio in accordance with the Titanic (1997 film) because this was the work which gave him international fame. Same is with Mr. Mihai Gruia, he merged as part of the Akecent and made his position.
Second thing is, Akcent was a band, if he hadn't played any role outside the band, we could say he is only notable in accordance with the band. He is a composer as well, go through all the composing history posted on the page. If you suspect his work, I'm ready to provide the reference for each and every composition mentioned there. I had not added those links, to keep the article simple, otherwise, it could look like spammy.
Thirdly, he fulfills WP:MUSICBIO criteria 1 and there is no need to jump straight to 6. TMOR (talk) 11:19, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to try and demonstrate that Gruia himself (as opposed to Akcent, or Gruia as part of Akcent) "has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself". Thus far, that has not happened. - Biruitorul Talk 15:38, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is no claim of notability in the article. The article says the subject studied at a university, has a family, was in two bands and co-founded a non-notable record label, and wrote some songs, none of which are notable. That belongs at Facebook. Johnuniq (talk) 02:49, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That suggestion doesn't help, as "Canadian Postal Codes" is currently a redlink, and helped me decide to vote "Keep" at first. But the reasoning works better if you were to suggest Redirecting to Postal codes in Canada, which exists. I changed my vote to "Redirect", below. --Doncram (talk) 19:49, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that was a mistake, article should be redirected to Postal codes in Canada.--Rusf10 (talk) 18:37, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, Redirect to Postal codes in Canada (or better, specifically to Postal codes in Canada#List of Canadian postal codes) would be a better alternative. The template appears on each of the separate pages that it links to, and there really should be substantially more, else there is no reason to split out the "list" from the main article on postal codes in Canada. I edited at the main article to create a specific target for redirection there. --Doncram (talk) 19:46, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Perhaps it would be useful to write a brief introduction, explaining the location of each postal code (ie - 'Y' if in Yukon), the absence of specific letters (ie - no codes starting with the letter 'O', as it may be confused with the number '0'), and other top-level details. Mindmatrix 19:04, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User:Mindmatrix, i basically agree, but in fact wouldn't that short explanation work well within a section of the main article on postal codes in Canada. No reason to have separate list-article; Redirect would be better IMHO. --Doncram (talk) 19:46, 4 December 2017 (UTC) P.S. I further edited at the main article so that redirect to Postal codes in Canada#List of Canadian postal codes should work as a good target now. Pinging User talk:Tavix, User:Patar knight, User:Jclemens to reconsider their votes. --Doncram (talk) 21:51, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If someone is navigating to a page titled "List of X" we should generally either redirect them to a "List of X" page or a "Lists of lists of X" page. There's no good reason to force them to load a whole page about the history and development of postal codes, and if they want to find that information, it's prominently linked from the current page. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 19:18, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Hmm, well, I don't think anyone is out there searching for a list of postal codes, but that a reader interested in postal codes of Canada would be at the postal codes article, and would not be surprised to see the list included there. Supposing this AFD were closed "Keep" or "No consensus", it would be entirely reasonable and noncontroversial for any editor to redirect it, anyhow, immediately after the AFD is closed, because there is no content in the current article not at the target, and the target provides more context. To any closer, I think it behooves you to consider what decision actually settles something here. --Doncram (talk) 22:21, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect per Doncram above. The content of this page now duplicates the destination of the suggested redirect.

For navigation to the sublists. Someone searching "List of postal codes in Canada" is going to want a list, so we shouldn't force them to load everything we have on Canadian postal codes and make it harder to find what they're looking for. -- Tavix (talk) 01:19, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to postal codes in Canada. At this time this page is entirely redundant. This serves as a list of lists and the article contains the same list of lists. But a trout to both HindWIKI, for a non-admin close of a potentially controversial discussion last time around, and ToThAc, who should've just taken it to DRV or asked HindWIKI to undo the close rather than renominate. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 00:12, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete All the reasons given for deletion are utterly valid (I have to deal with US zip codes at work, and it's even worse than that: the published databases are always full of errors on top of everything else people say), and the main article is never going to include this list for the same reasons, so why redirect them to an article which isn't going to provide what the redirect promises?

Do that, and this closure will be going straight to DRV. The last discussion, well, it was hardly a discussion at all, and the reason for discussion being brought up now was not discussed then. We're not a bureaucracy, and an article is not protected from examination because the discussion last time around went awry. Mangoe (talk) 10:46, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Update to comment: The material in the list-article is bizarre. I combined all the separate list-articles into the one Draft list-article, simply by appending the main sections. It is pretty large, 634,539 bytes. However, it perhaps can be edited down considerably, e.g. perhaps dropping all the sections for "Most populated FSAs" and "Least populated FSAs" within each letter. It is weird that it is a long list put into a table going across and then down, instead of just one row for each 3-character FSA.

Note wp:TOOBIG suggests that articles of size 100,000 bytes should be split, but it is a) outdated relative to computers today, and b) the actual size of the list-article is tiny, perhaps 300 bytes, in terms of readable prose. The guideline states that its "rules of thumb apply only to readable prose (found by counting the words, perhaps with the help of Shubinator's DYK tool or Prosesize) and not to wiki markup size (as found on history lists or other means). They apply somewhat less to disambiguation pages and naturally do not apply to redirects. They also apply less strongly to list articles, especially if splitting them would require breaking up a sortable table." So the editing guideline is suggesting this list should NOT be split. --Doncram (talk) 02:54, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So you note the correct rule of thumb, and then arbitrarily decide that it means the opposite of what it says? That's bizarre. There's literally nothing wrong with the way it is now, and you decide you want to add WP:SIZE issues to a logically split list. Mind boggling. -- Tavix (talk) 03:06, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The page size tool says the draft list-article has "1006 B (180 words) 'readable prose size'". The guideline suggests splitting a list-article if the number is over 100,000 B. The guideline suggests this list should not be split. Read the guideline, please. --Doncram (talk) 03:49, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Huh. Last I checked, 634k > 100k so a merge is inappropriate. -- Tavix (talk) 05:02, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but you should read the guideline. --Doncram (talk) 06:40, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Further update to comment. The combined draft list-article contains 1,088 cells (which should all be rows, but are arranged across then down) merely reporting "Not assigned" which can/should all be deleted. That is out of, I think, 2,319 cells in total (there are 2,319 occurrences of "width="). Each cell has width specifications and other formatting control which can/should be deleted if the list is arranged as a normal lookup list. (Note even in the abnormal table organization, total size could be reduced by putting long formatting control text into a mini template call which can be repeated with far less total size, for those who are obsessed by total size as opposed to readable prose size, which is what matters.) It seems feasible to get the list-article total size very far down. I think the imperative should be to delete all the subsidiary list-articles and have a stripped-down single list-article, which may have some merit for providing wikilinks to all the corresponding towns/cities. --Doncram (talk) 06:40, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete along with its subpages In my real work one of things we have to deal with is distributing the license US zip codes and their associated cities. Even the more or less official list we get is full of mistakes: for example, for ages the official list has said that the town I live in has a different zip code from what it actually has (and they prefer that we use the name of larger city which we are actually at some distance from). There is no way we can maintain an accurate list of postal codes and their associated towns without essentially copying someone else's work—hopefully that of the Canadian Post. I have no idea whether that is even legal in Canada, but I see no reason for us to duplicate information which is surely better gotten from the official authorities. Mangoe (talk) 03:40, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I kinda wonder that myself. All 18 of the component list-articles provide statement: "Canada Post provides a free postal code look-up tool on its website,[3] via its mobile application,[4] and sells hard-copy directories and CD-ROMs. Many vendors also sell validation tools, which allow customers to properly match addresses and postal codes. Hard-copy directories can also be consulted in all post offices, and some libraries." This webpage at Statistics Canada is source for all the 2006 populations, is a nice normal-type lookup list. It doesn't provide the names of cities/towns corresponding to each code though. --Doncram (talk) 04:56, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    It's not really a fine source at all. It's pretty clearly a puff human interest piece, as is pretty much all of the rest of the coverage as far as I can tell. Human interest reporting is generally not as reliable as news reporting, and may not be subject to the same rigorous standards of fact-checking and accuracy (see junk food news).[2] Puff pieces on quirky PR stunts because "look how quirky this PR stunt is" don't really count as serious journalism, and as far as I can tell, this is pretty much the best source available, and the only one that I found that deals specifically with the subject in any "depth", notwithstanding the fact that the entire piece is making fun of him.

Eh, if you have reason to believe the source or the article has an error, great. But it seems to be a solid story from a reliable source.

I have no reason to believe the LA Magazine article isn't factually correct. But, in addition to this just being a human-interest story, it's a local human interest story.

I believe that LA Magazine covers the entire "Southland" region, which means it services the second-largest urban region in the United States, with about 13 million people.

  • Delete - a Google search turns up insufficient sources.

    • I suppose that's fine as a rule of thumb, but A) it isn't policy and B) at least 80% of our articles on people wouldn't get over that bar. And WP:RS says nothing of the sort. WP:GNG just says "multiple". Hobit (talk) 22:15, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Independent - Basically the definition of passing mention, overall about micronations generally and not McHenry
Readers Digest - Three paragraphs about the "country", and not specifically about the person, in an article about micronations, and not the "country"
Hazretz - Four paragraphs about the "country", and not specifically about the person, in an article about micronations, and not the "country"
Bloomberg - A few mentions, one in an image caption, with the majority of the content a word-for-word copy/paste of the Readers Digest article (right down to the formatting)... Unsurprisingly, in an article about micronations, and not about this person, or this person's "countries"
So despite the wall of text above, this suggest that 1) we need to be careful about churnalism, or in other words, exactly the kind of thing we should expect from puff human interest pieces designed to fill up space and fish for clicks, and 2) this probably warrants mention in the main article on micronations, which is what I said originally, and there's otherwise no reason to have a stand alone article, and very little to write one with.

Given Vyacheslav84's near fanaticism regarding this topic, the fact that both his and Hammer's only edits to their user space were to add a singe language user box, and given that Hammer's only edits besides his two today (to comment here, and unredlink their user page), appear to have been 1) while Vyach was on a self-requested block, and 2) in the interim between when Vyach requested an unblock and when the unblock was granted, I would suggest a healthy degree of skepticism here.

  • Keep. Dismissal of McHenry's micronations, or the coverage of them, as not "serious" betrays some very serious misconceptions about the relationship between the serious and the absurd, starting with the idea that attention for its own sake is the only possible motive for outrageous actions. Review the Wikipedia articles on Diogenes the Cynic, John Cage, performance art, and surrealism, to name just a few, for extreme examples to the contrary. Diogenes has been honored in painting and statuary two millennia after he lived, and was a major influence on Stoicism—for doing things far more outrageous than anything McHenry has done. While I can't read Thomas Harlander's mind, I don't see his lengthy biographical article as simply laughing at McHenry; he notes McHenry's formal training in method acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute. The role of micronations as satirical commentary on the nation-state system comes through clearly in Harlander's article; he even mentions how McHenry's work as a military intelligence analyst contributed to his perception of nations as absurd. The joke isn't on McHenry. Imposing a view of Harlander's source as purely a frivolous "puff piece" or a lampoon of McHenry, or a view of McHenry himself as purely a publicity seeker, does violence to the source material available. Deleting this article on such grounds would be a violation of WP:NPOV, which is all about letting Wikipedia reflect, without bias, the sources on which it is based. Only hindsight prevents such an approach from dismissing Diogenes as readily as Travis McHenry.
The nominator's dismissal of McHenry's actions as trivial is also misguided to say the least. It's easy to speculate on the possibility of declaring one's own micronation, or even to make an actual such declaration (in a Wikipedia AfD?) without taking any further action. It's another matter entirely to get in trouble with one's boss by corresponding with foreign governments to seek recognition, to name only one of the lengths to which McHenry has gone. Maybe anyone could declare a micronation and run with the idea as far as McHenry has done, but very, very few actually do, and it is easy to see why they don't.
The above merely scratches the surface of the numerous problems with the "delete" arguments in this AfD. For example, trying to claim that the guidelines have "tightened up" on the basis of evidence from past AfD discussions is problematic to say the least.

  • To sum up: I'm pointing out that the above dismissals of McHenry, his projects, and the relevant press coverage as "junk", "puff human interest pieces", "people who are desperately trying to claw their way to their proverbial 15 minutes of fame", "noise", and all similar pejoratives, are without exception based on unexamined and unjustified assumptions about human psychology and the philosophical significance of outrageous actions. I cited other Wikipedia articles to support that point—not to claim simplistically that because these other articles exist, McHenry must have one. WP:OTHERSTUFF itself warns against extending its strictures to indirect arguments of this kind. And without the dismissals of McHenry's actions as trivial and the press coverage as junk, there is no defense against a WP:GNG case for notability.

  • Delete - I can find nothing to show notability for this person beyond their one appearance in a cricket match. The source provided is a database entry rather than a substantive source. We don't have a forename, date of birth etc... - in those circumstances (and after careful searching for sources) I don't believe that we'll be in a position to verify anything about the person beyond what we currently have at any point in the foreseeable future. If we can't add substantive sources then there's a clear failure of the GNG and several RfC (such as this one) have made it clear that sports notability criteria only provide a presumption of notability if there is a hope that the GNG will ever be met. The close of the recent Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/D. Kodikara certainly seems to support such a position as well. In addition this is (probably) a BLP. In these circumstances I'm even more wary about keeping the article without sourcing beyond minimally detailed database entries. Blue Square Thing (talk) 21:10, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It is high time we ended the absurd notability guidelines for cricket players. Why is someone like Eric J. Dursteller lacking an article because the multiple references are not in-line citations when he has published multiple books, some in multiple langauges, with academic publishers, but someone thinks that it is at all possibly playing in one game could make someone notable?

  • It seems that this magazine is well-read, indeed, I've come across their articles before and learned of this AfD via socialist twitter, who generally has good respect for the magazine (I don't consider this a WP:COI but feel free to disagree). It seems that User:Burphole and User:Chanteuse267 gave good reasons for keeping it around (that it's been cited in other publications, though perhaps not as the object of discussion), and I think that that information can be meaningfully incorporated into the article to satisfy WP:NOTE. If someone incorporates these references to demonstrate notability, then I would say we should keep the article. Even if they don't, I would say that the contention that such material exists should be enough to keep it around.
    That being said, I agree with User:FloridaArmy's frustration that the article does not cite enough secondary sources and that this problem should be fixed. I may take a look at reference sources later and see if I can make relevant edits, though I alone cannot fix this aspect of the article. - - mathmitch7 (talk/contribs) 01:46, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Revisiting. Prod was contested on talk page, assertions of notability made in unsigned comments were unpersuasive with the exception of a citation to a book by Steve Wright (Not one of the Steve Wrights on whom we have pages), it is out from Pluto Press (Socialist Workers Party), distributed - not published - by a university press. It asserts that Viewpoint is among the rare outlets publishing material on Workerism.

This page is far from a properly sourced encyclopedia article about the topic, with no evidence of significant coverage of the topic. This is a WP:ELNO-violating index of offlinks to numerous Instagram accounts, violating WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Wikipedia isn't a platform for hosting links to other websites' content.

  • Delete. For starters, the number of people who follow any given Instagram account changes daily for any number of reasons: new followers adding it, old followers removing it, and on and so forth — so it's a characteristic that's in a state of constant flux and renders a list dynamically unmaintanable. Secondly, the references aren't reliable sources at all — with just one exception they're merely the primary source Instagram feeds themselves, and the exception is just a raw ranking aggregator and doesn't contain any content to analyze or explain why the rankings would matter. Which means that ranking people by the size of their social media following isn't a thing that reliable sources do — it amounts to original research that we're doing ourselves. Having more Instagram followers than somebody else does is not a comment on their relative worth or talent — Selena Gomez doesn't have more Instagram followers than Adele because she's a better singer or makes better music, she's just a bigger gossip magnet who plays the celebrity game more actively (basically, people are just hoping she'll post revenge porn of her ex-boyfriends' peckers.) And it doesn't even mean Selena has a bigger fan base than Adele does; Adele's sold more than 14 times as many records as Selena has, and the only difference is that more of Adele's fans are adults who have more important things to do with their time (like being the parents of Selena Gomez fans) than clcking the little hearts on Instagram posts all day. And when the single most widely followed account (with almost twice as many followers as the runner-up) on Instagram is, well, Instagram itself, that's not really telling you very much at all — people follow the host account because they want to keep up with the platform's news releases. Big fat hairy "Tom on Myspace" deal. Who over the age of 12 really gives two hoots about ranking people by the size of their social media followings?

Which means that ranking people by the size of their social media following isn't a thing that reliable sources do You sure about that? Because I was easily able to find sources that do - including Reuters and People magazine (not just tabloids). Most of your argument seems to be a personal dislike that people are ranked by their media following - but that doesn't mean it should be deleted.

  • Delete: This article is a WP:BLP related article (look at all the names of living people) and I placed a BLP template on the talk page. I really should not have to go any farther -- but -- Please read from the policy page: "This page in a nutshell: Material about living persons added to any Wikipedia page must be written with the greatest care and attention to verifiability, neutrality, and avoidance of original research.", and from the lead: "This policy applies to any living person mentioned in a BLP, whether or not that person is the subject of the article, and to material about living persons in other articles and on other pages, including talk pages.". There is then the question of WP:notability. The article is well referenced, having 58 of them, but they are all from "Instagram" which are primary (a subsection of Wikipedia:No original research) which states: "Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them.". This leads us back to WP:BLPPRIMARY that states: "Where primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it to augment the secondary source, subject to the restrictions of this policy, no original research, and the other sourcing policies.". Considering all this there is evidence the article should have been blanked because of BLP violations. The statement, that I have seen variants used several times, "...and the list is a summary of the information in the other articles"., does not give an exception to WP:policies and guidelines, and introduces concerns of original research and certainly synthesis. Maybe we should re-visit List of most-followed Twitter accounts (52 references with 99.98% primary), and other "List of most..." articles, with some of this in mind since BLP issues have apparently been overlooked Wikipedia-wide? -- Otr500 (talk) 02:50, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The top 10 can easily be sourced to RS - like reuters. Galobtter (pingó mió) 04:06, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Normally I'd agree with regards to BLP, but here's the critical difference. This article is reporting what Instagram shows as the number of followers, and makes that clear from the sourcing. So, as long as you can verify that Instagram reports these numbers on their site, they are de facto verfied. To prove this, I picked #50 Vanessa Hudgens and went to her profile [[29]]. It matched the 27.5 million number (rounded up to 28). This topic is also notable, as seen by the media coverage including [[30]], [[31]] and many others. Big picture - social capital is today's currency. 27.5M followers as the #50 account on this list has shows more notability than an article in the NY Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal, whose combined circulation is one third of Hudgens' followers. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 05:19, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also, you quote Where primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it to augment the secondary source - reliable secondary sources do discuss instagram followers, sourced from instagram. So we can use the instagram website. Galobtter (pingó mió) 05:39, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Normally I am for keeping lists, as they can be useful reference tools for research. However a list of most followed accounts is impossible to keep up-to-date as the numbers of followers change daily. An alternative might be to create lists of most followed account in years past, e.g. 2016 - however that does beg the question of whether anyone today would look up The 1000 most popular pages on Myspace in the year 2005. Lists are useful but overuse should not degrade Wikipedia to a factoid-collection site. 13:07, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
The numbers posted are rounded to just be in the millions. That won't change very much. A sweep through every 6 months would be sufficient. Since the list is helpfully compiled at one of the cited pages, it's even easier to see how the relative rankings have changed to identify significant changes in the number of followers.

I'll also add that another article that I've put some time in, List of wealthiest families, is much more difficult to create and maintain, but that hasn't been a deterrent. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 19:52, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I posted a couple of articles above that address the subject of whether an Instagram following is notable. We have List of wealthiest families. It's not a big leap to make the jump that social following is a form of wealth, since it can be monetized. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 19:52, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: "Some people" argue to keep articles that are blatant violations of a mandated BLP policy. WP:OTHERSTUFF is only a valid argument when these are allowed to remain by consensus not violating policies and guidelines. Having sources "out there" somewhere might be alright with some articles but we let one article after another creep in, usually a compilation of content thrown in which is WP:OR and we argue "keep" then on other like article because we now have "other stuff". I am not going to argue this type of content is not interesting. I am not going to argue that it is usually outdated shortly after being updated, because that does not seem to matter. I am going to argue that according to the BLP policy these types of "primary sourced" only BLP related articles are a direct violation of policy. It doesn't matter how much we like them, or how we skirt policy to allow them to remain, or that they survive a AFD by no consensus, they are not properly sourced BLP related articles and the whole lot should be examined for possible expunging. Just because we make it look good, without reliable sources to back up the title, it becomes a pile of WP:INDISCRIMINATE information under a false title, while we are throwing names of living people around like the mandated BLP policy is really just a suggestion. Properly source the articles, or remove them, is the only clear solution to stop degrading Wikipedia. Otr500 (talk) 10:35, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think the BLP argument against this article is tenuous. Where is the contentious material about living persons? I think WP:BLPSELFPUB is more relevant. These verified Instagram accounts are effectively self-published in the same way that an individual's own website would be. It is entirely appropriate to reference such sources in an article about those sources.--Pontificalibus (talk) 12:54, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You are arguing that my BLP comments are weak, yet you point to a section of the same BLP policy, and #5 of the criteria for using self-published sources states "the article is not based primarily on such sources.". We are back to the fact that a BLP OR BLP related article should not be based primarily on such self-published primary sources and I seem to think that an article based on 99.98% of self-published primary sources fail #5. Secondary sources establish notability. By watering this requirement down we allow this type of article to exist, where even the title is original research, and then they expand and we get other predominately primary sourced articles like List of most-followed Twitter accounts, where all but two out of 52 references are primary self-published. How is this list article considered Wikipedia:Listcruft? The Meaning section, #11: The list's membership is volatile and requires a disproportionate amount of effort to keep up to date.. We attempt to solve the issue by rounding up a half a million so it won't need updating as often. Now we are just adding figures for the fun of it just to support social networking fancruft on Wikipedia. Otr500 (talk) 05:13, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's not difficult to keep this up to date - the compilation source does the heavy lifting for us. Rounding the numbers is convenient because the exact numbers aren't important except in the event of a tie - it's the relative ranking and differences between numbers of followers on the list that is notable. There are plenty of sources substantiating this ranking as notable. Passes WP:GNG. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 20:51, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Actually there aren't even two sources substantiating this top 50 ranking as notable. Top 10, maybe. And whether or not it passes WP:GNG, it still fails WP:BLP. If the article is to be kept, it needs to be kept in a way that is compliant with all policies, not just cherry-picked ones. We don't get to pick and choose which policies we should comply with. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:24, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We don't need all the listed Instagram accounts as sources. The secondary source (Socialblade) listing the top accounts is enough. — JFG talk 23:43, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments: I am not for just listing google search result pages, because there are mirror sites, fan sites, and "less than reliable" sites that cloud the figures but on a WP:BEFORE I went three pages into search results. I found the one site used on the article (Socialblade) and one from birdsonganalytic that was current as of April 2017. That article shows Selena Gomez with 117 million followers which is far below the 131 million listed on socialblade so is outdated. We can try to argue GNG, and one source backed by 57 primary sources (that does violate policy), merge a smaller list (top 10) to the parent article discussing the reliability and current standings of statista, businessinsider, also covered by socialblade, but we have to watch out because other references like forbes was last updated with Selena Gomez at 103 million followers. techcrunch list top 25 (to try to list article standalone) and dailydot list top 30 (current)
I can find consistent top 10, that could be placed in the parent article, but looking to squeak in enough to satisfy WP:SAL I just can't find it without using one source, and that just does not justify a standalone list, certainly not when related to BLP's, because as stated above (about picking and choosing), even "SAL" mandates following content policies and notability criteria. We need multiple reliable sources to not degrade Wikipedia to a social media reporting site landing in the middle of what Wikipedia is not.
Just to mention the statement of passing GNG which includes: 1)- "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", 2)- ""Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability", 3)- "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.", and 4)- "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent. Now, for notability we have a one source list article. I am having a real hard time equating the above to passing GNG. Otr500 (talk) 07:30, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Did you not see the sources I listed above? There's a 20 day old reuters article with 130 million as the number. Galobtter (pingó mió) 13:13, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And a dang fine reference it is for the top five people on a list of 50. I have actually, even though it might not seem so, been trying to find reliable sources to give justification for a list of 25 or a list of 20 (see above). A list of 10 or 15 could be used on the parent page. I would have thought **someone** would have addressed some issues ---shhh!! it is allowed. Instead, I am reading comments steadfastly proclaiming it is a perfectly good list-class article, breaking no rules, and that all the policies and guidelines listed that it does break are acceptable because people like it, ---and--- that it is not hard to update from the one, single, solitary source other than primary, as long as the principle "updater" is alive, healthy, and has internet access.
As stated above (way up there), WAIT! by you, that maybe the list can be shortened. It can be reliably sourced to the top 10 but there is absolutely no reason to have a stubby stand-alone list of the "10 most followed Instagram accounts". A list like that can be presented in a section on the parent article and nobody will question some added primary references to an article with 289 other references. Otr500 (talk) 00:05, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There's absolutely no space for it in the main instagram article. Also Where primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it to augment the secondary source, subject to the restrictions of this policy, no original research, and the other sourcing policies. It doesn't say has to be in the article. I don't see the problem with the primary references. Galobtter (pingó mió) 04:59, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:TOOSOON considering the show isn't out yet and coverage of production only consists of announcements that the show will be on Netflix. All of this could just as easily be merged into She-Ra: Princess of Power page. Comatmebro (talk) 02:10, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I looked at this again. Another reason for keep is he was the top pick that year from Tampa Bay. I know it was not round one, but it was round two and not like round five. In a draft, often times the top pick of a team is covered in the regional press. If there is no first round pick, they will just cover the second round pick that was picked first. To put another way, newspapers have space for interest stories on the top new player reserved by an organization. Whoever that top player is gets coverage - otherwise the paper would have blank space. Since this event is 2002, I think it will be hard to find those stories online 15 or so years later, but another point to consider for keep. RonSigPi (talk) 14:30, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Split from main article 1 without reasoning. If it's superfluous to the main article, I don't see that it warrants an entire article of its own. The main article still contains an extensive list of these characters, so this article might be more appropriately titled Character appearances in La que se avecina, a topic which I don't believe is notable.

  • Keep because this is how you do a WP:SS breakout, and if you want to start a merge discussion, this is the wrong place. You're arguing for re-merging the content, not deleting it, and AfD is not Articles for "Discussion". Nor is AfD for cleanup. Jclemens (talk) 05:15, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am not arguing for a remerge, I am arguing for delete per WP:AVOIDSPLIT - this topic (character appearances) isn't notable. What happens at the main article with regard to reverting deletions doesn't really concern me. --Pontificalibus (talk) 08:06, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
At no point does WP:AVOIDSPLIT justify the deletion of anything; and even if it did, it's an editing guideline, while WP:ATD-M is policy. Jclemens (talk) 10:24, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your rationale for keep was that this was split from another article. I am pointing to WP:AVOIDSPLIT and saying just because it was split, doesn't mean it should be kept - it shouldn't have been split in the first place if it wasn't a notable topic. I suggest it was only split because it was excessive detail for the main article, and the proper response to that should have been to edit that article. Because the split should not have been made in the first place I am arguing for delete. There is no need for a merge because the edit in the main article removing this table can simply be undone. --Pontificalibus (talk) 10:38, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, you're not arguing that the content be removed from Wikipedia, so you're arguing for a re- or un-merge. Deletion means that no merger, no redirection is appropriate, and that's clearly not the case here. Merging and redirection also cause content not to exist as a separate article, rather than for it to be removed such that no non-administrators can see it. That is what is different about deletion, and why I don't believe what you're advocating is best called "deletion." Jclemens (talk) 23:35, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To make it clear I am arguing that this table be deleted. How many times do I need to say that? However, this is not the place to mandate that this table not be restored in the main article.--Pontificalibus (talk) 07:13, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This single-occurrence "festival" fails WP:N, specifically the part that reads: "...those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time."

Although the concert was reviewed in the UK press at the time it occurred, I have been unable to locate a single review or commentary from anytime after Dec 12, 2005. There is no indication that anyone had the slightest interest in this event after it was over. Therefore, it fails the portion of WP:N that looks for significant lasting attention from the world at large. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:00, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
