Hungarian Slovak Gypsies in the United States (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Not sure why do we need an article on such a specific topic. What's an "Hungarian Slovak Gypsy"? Or have Gypsies from Hungary and Slovakia been artificially combined together? The sourcing of the article is poor too, many sources only cite info relevant to Hungarian Gypsies while other sources just mention a lot of Hungarian Gypsy musicians. All of this info could be easily integrated into another article, such as Romani people in the United States. Super Ψ Dro 18:38, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just who are you to say why this is needed, do you see the citation saying this is Part of a series on Romani people. Just what did you look at to check anything. The John Brenkacs orchestra was in the 1920s, my grandfather is the cimbalom player on the picture and all the rest are related. My grandfather died in 1943. Why do you ask questions on specific GYPSIES and not know the answer. I wrote the book "Gypsy Violins Hungarian Slovak Gypsies in America" and also wrote this Wikipedia on them. They deserve to be on here just as much as anyone else. You question if Slovak and Hungarian Gypsies been artificially combined, would you like to talk to Dr. Ian Hancock on this issue, he will back up everything on this and is the leading expert of Roma. What qualifications do you have. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gypsyviolins (talkcontribs) 19:02, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I have found an article, Gypsy style, which would be an excellent repository for the material of the article in question. "Hungarian Gypsy Music", which has enjoyed a certain popularity in the West, is not the same as traditional Roma music (which uses its own scale), although, by tradition, the musicians in the small Gypsy style orchestras are ethnic Roma.
Gypsy style music is musicologically Central European Romantic, with standard scales and rhythms and a prominent violin..The musical motifs are based on traditional Roma music. Brahms's Hungarian Dances, though played with a larger orchestra, are one example of the musical style.--Quisqualis (talk) 00:13, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment "Hungarian Slovak Gypsies" means, Gypsies born in (or tracing their ancestry to) that part of Hungary that is now Slovakia. It would be wrong to call them "Slovakian Gypsies" when they and their ancestors had never lived in Slovakia. And this article is not about all Hungarian Gypsies, just those who originated in that part of Hungary. Maproom (talk) 22:09, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and oppose merge. The nominator's main issue seems to be with the specified degree of intersectionality being identified in the topic. The sources do indeed address that intersectionality in detail. I would further note that this type of specification is now common in academic publications in the social sciences. Studies in diasporic movements frequently examine identity through the lens of intersectionality where different aspects of geography, culture, social constructs (gender, religion, race, sexuality, etc.), etc all intersect into the way people groups and individuals within those groups experienced geographic displacement. I'm not really seeing anything wrong with the topic as defined, although the article could definitely use a re-write. I don't think a merge is warranted because it would add undue weight to the target article.4meter4 (talk) 04:22, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bringing this here for discussion. While one of his books has a Kirkus review, it appears his titles were published by the publishing company for which he works, rendering neutrality a question. They're not self published, but nor are they independent. I am unable to find other evidence of notability as a businessman or author, many speaker profiles, but they're not independent.

Keep - This article does not warrant a deletion. I would rather amend this entire article than remove it. The research here is not entirely original and can still be changed to fit Wikipedia’s guidelines. To respond to Oaktree, Mentation is defined as “mental activity”, and it doesn’t matter who the “audience” you so talk about is aligned to fit with. That doesn’t matter. Every Wikipedia article must have the same tone. I do agree that this article is in the layout of a personal essay, but that is not enough for deletion. If it can be improved and reworked into a Wikipedia article, then go help and fix it. Also, dream mentation does have linked sources.

  • This article is fundamentally flawed in a way that cannot be fixed via editing, it's scope is WP:OR. It's irrelevant that there are journal articles that include the words "dream mentation" when you search for that string of words, none of those publications discuss theory or anything approaching the scope of this article's subject. Mentation within dreams falls within the scope of something like Neuroscience of sleep or Rapid eye movement sleep; it does not have enough literature or significance to warrant a standalone article, and the fact that "mentation" of any kind is not mentioned in either of those articles is evidence of that. - Aoidh (talk) 18:09, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV. The article is largely based on Jeannette Mageo's odd approach to dream studies through the lens of cultural anthropology/ ethnographic research; although in this case its more like case studies focused on individuals rather than a larger cultural study. The whole thing is rather far fetched as a basis for an article because it is the type of study that is highly subjective, not reproducible, and is not likely to be repeated due to its interdisciplinary design. As such, we aren't likely to have multiple sources supporting an article on this topic at any point in time.4meter4 (talk) 05:02, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not comply with WP:CORP. As the table below shows, the article lacks "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of" it as required by WP:SIRS. Furthermore, it has long had issues with violations of WP:PROMO and while a lot of the offending material has been removed, it is questionable whether what remains is still promotional material, unverified as it is.

  • Here is the Source assessment table I created for the article. As you can see there is no single source that counts towards the GNG.
Source assessment table:
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
Harvard Graduate School of Design No The source is a profile of the founder in his role as an academic member of staff; these profiles are often self-created Yes Harvard is probably a reliable source No It provides merely a passing mention of the company. The directory cited is merely a directory of the staff's profiles and passes no commentary or analysis on the company. No
New York Times Yes There seems to be no connection between the company and the NYT's coverage Yes NYT is a reliable secondary source No The article makes no mention of the firm No
Wall St Journal No In so far as it relates to the firm it seems to be deriving its information solely from an interview with the partner Yes WSJ is reliable secondary source No The company is mentioned merely in passing as the architects of a project in the context of an article talking about something unrelated to the firm. No
Architect Magazine No The article relies on quotes and interviews with the firm No Same as above. Article relies heavily on quotes from the partners. ~ The article itself does focus on the Company, but it is in the context of a list of 50 architects' firms which is not really significant coverage as such. No
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

I disagree with the notion to delete. I can agree that the content and sources that appear in the articles current form are not enough on its own but this architecture firm is one of relative prestige in the American architecture profession, I believe it should be improved rather than delete it. I updated the article and think it should be up to snuff now.
Arguments against deletion:
The firms masterwork, Seiji Ozawa Hall, is considered one of the best architecturally significant music halls ever constructed in the literature of acoustic experts and musicologists. I expand on this in the article and its sources should count toward GNG.
The source from Harvard discussing positions held by it's principal founder describing his prestigious positions in the best architecture schools in the US and his elevation as a Fellow of the AIA (Fellowship is bestowed by the institute on AIA architects, the leading membership association of architects in the United States, who have made outstanding contributions to the profession) it is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a professional architect in the US. The accolades and personality of the principal architect guide the philosophy and direction of architecture firms so I would argue that this could count toward GNG but I do understand the point made in the table.
The material that was considered promotional (awards granted by the AIA, the leading membership association of architects in the United States), while yes they can be and more often than not used by architecture firms to promote themselves, are the very thing that justifies the significance and notability of the firm. I have verified these through secondary sources in a new update and they should count toward GNG.
I take disagreement the analysis of the last source mentioned in the table. A firm considered one of the 50 best architecture firms by Architect Magazine, affiliated with AIA is consequential and significant. Of approximately 70,000 architecture businesses that exist in the United States the fact that William Rawn Associates lie in the top 50 lands it at the top .07% of architecture businesses. I believe this should count for GNG. TrotskTrotsk (talk) 00:35, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for taking the time to reply and for your work adding new sources to the article. Sadly, as I read the guidelines and policies, I still think the article fails to meet the notability criteria. I shall address each of your points in turn:
"this architecture firm is one of relative prestige in the American architecture profession". As I understand the rules, no company or organisation is inherently notable just because they may be important in their field. All that matters is whether there are multiple sources that each are independent from William R. Assoc. (WRA), that are reliable and give WRA significant coverage (WP:ORGCRIT).
"The firms masterwork, Seiji Ozawa Hall, is considered one of the best architecturally significant music halls" This argument does not work in my view. Notability is not inherited by a company merely because it is associated with notable things, people, events etc. Just because they have designed buildings that may be notable, does not mean they are notable in their own right. They may very well should be mentioned in their buildings' articles, but it does not support them having their own.
Further, on your point about the source you have provided for the Seiji O. Hall[1] I'll gladly admit it is reliable, but it still should not count towards the GNG. This is because it is neither independent nor is it giving WRA significant coverage. They give the firm a few short mentions in an article that is about something else (ie the Hall) and any information they do provide is either a quote from a partner or reads like a press release. This means even if it were giving them significant coverage it is not independent from them and thus it does not count for the purposes of the GNG as applied by WP:ORGCRIT. Having looked at the new sources you provided, I would argue they suffer from the same issue; they could well support a mention of the firm in an article for the building but they should not be used to justify the existence of WRA's article because they are not independent and do not provide significant coverage.
Regarding your point about the Harvard source, I won't press the issue too much because you seem to accept it is not independent and that is enough for it to not count towards our assessment here. I will note, however, that even if William Rawn was notable (and I am not sure that being a fellow of the AIA would be enough), WRA does not inherit any notability from its lead architect.
"A firm considered one of the 50 best architecture firms by Architect Magazine, affiliated with AIA is consequential and significant." Generally, however, mere lists of the 'top 10, 50 or 100' do not count as significant coverage, but indeed are an explicit example of something considered trivial coverage. Now, I'll grant you that the article in Architect Magazine is more than a mere name drop in a list, which is why I assessed it as providing partially significant coverage, but in any case it is not independent and thus it is not a source valid for complying with the GNG.
Lastly, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the effort you put into finding new sources which support the continued existence of the article; I know it takes a lot of work. Sadly, I would argue that if after all that work, the sources that have appeared continue to either be non-independent or not provide significant coverage, then this suggests to me that the article should indeed be deleted.

C3controls is a reputed manufacturer of industrial automation devices. It's a global company with a presence in the USA, India, and El Salvador.

Also. there is enough information on the internet that can be used as citations for this company.

Right now the company is being run by third generation. The company was founded in 1976.

It was also selected by Whitehouse in 2001 by president George Bush - https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ql0vAAAAIBAJ&sjid=PtsFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2530,3528

It deserves a space on Wikipedia with all the updated information.

Forgive me for excessively wikilinking Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, but there are multiple sections there that address your points. Being reputed or having a global presence (3 countries is global?) do not show notability. If there are sources then provide them, because I certainly wasn't able to find any reliable sources with significant coverage; that sources exist in a Google search doesn't mean they're suitable references for a Wikipedia article, per WP:GNG. The age of the company does not make it notable, and the newspaper cited is a trivial mention. - Aoidh (talk) 01:07, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But this source says that he is "a specialist in military history and reenactor, as well as a consulting historian for the film "Alexander. Battle of the Neva" (2008). See p. 18 --Мит Сколов (talk) 13:55, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some people say: Klim Zhukov does not have a history education. But for fact-checking: Klim Zhukov is a graduate of the Faculty of History of St. Petersburg State University [6]. Yes, Klim Zhukov did not complete his PhD [7] (his doctoral adviser was Anatoly Kirpichnikov [8]). But Klim Zhukov is a cited historian [9][10][11][12][13]. --Мит Сколов (talk) 11:55, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Answering your first remark: you refer to the student's remark (on page 15 it is written: Yulia Vitalievna Kaporina, student, Krasnodar), i.e. Again, this is not a reputable source. And by the way, she makes a number of mistakes that are unforgivable even for a student: she calls Klim Zhukov a "specialist in military history", which is not true, and, calling him a "consultant" for the film "Alexander", refers to a YouTube video where he (again!) calls himself that. At the moment, the only authoritative source says only that Klim Zhukov only participated in extras in this film. Noraskulk (talk) 08:14, 9 October 2022 (UTC).[reply]
  • Because Klim Zhukov has no historical qualifications. We need a source confirming that all these people have the right to refer to him as an authoritative historian. But since he doesn't have a degree and can't teach, I assume there is no such source. Noraskulk (talk) 09:03, 9 October 2022 (UTC).[reply]
  • In response to your second remark: in most of the works cited, articles by K. Zhukov are only mentioned in the list of recommended literature. In addition, these are secondary sources, and here needed a primary one, confirming that Klim Zhukov is an authoritative historian with a scientific degree, and, therefore, he can be referred to as an authoritative historian. You yourself confirmed that he did not even defend his dissertation. Noraskulk (talk) 08:25, 9 October 2022 (UTC).[reply]
    There are very famous historians who do not have a doctoral degree, such as Alan Cameron (classicist). --Мит Сколов (talk) 09:23, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Мит Сколов, Alan Cameron is Charles Anthon Professor Emeritus of the Latin Language and Literature. Klim Zhukov, as we found out, is a blogger and amateur historian. Emenrigen (talk) 17:57, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, and Alan Cameron doesn't have a "doctoral degree". I do not want to seem intrusive, but I hope that Noraskulk will appreciate it: Alexey Karpov doesn't seem to have a PhD. Sorry, I didn't start pedaling this fact. I don't know what you mean by "amateur". Klim Zhukov is the author of works that are cited by other historians. Please take a look at the links [28][29][30][31][32]. When that's not enough, tell me and I'll bring more. You also forgot to mention that Klim Zhukov is also a reenactor and writer. --Мит Сколов (talk) 18:27, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I found another source, which, it seems to me, Noraskulk will appreciate, and which helps to understand who Klim Zhukov is. See p. 155. And there it is also confirmed that Zhukov has the education of a historian. --Мит Сколов (talk) 18:42, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you continue to claim that Klim Zhukov is allegedly a historian, then you must provide an authoritative source (I specifically gave a link to the Wikipedia rule) where this is directly stated. Otherwise I submit a request to the admins. Or do you really think your antics are funny? And you do not need to switch to Russian to prove your case.Emenrigen (talk) 19:09, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Let me tell you my story. I read books, and if some good author recommends another, I'll definitely take a look. So, for example, Sunil Amrith pointed me to Victor Lieberman. Some time ago I read Georgi Derluguian, where he recommended Zhukov (see how by the way... hint: as a military historian). I wrote about it in the Russian Wikipedia... look what happened ru:Википедия:Форум/Архив/Вниманию_участников/2022/08#Жуков,_Клим_Александрович. --Мит Сколов (talk) 19:25, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, if the BBC calls Zhukov a historian, is that authoritative for you? [34] --Мит Сколов (talk) 19:27, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What is the basis for this statement? Again, in the hint words of Klim Zhukov. That is, there are sources calling him a military historian, but there is no authoritative source confirming this. And repeat once again - what is the significance of Klim Zhukov as a blogger and science fiction writer for the English-language Wikipedia? Emenrigen (talk) 05:19, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
See my answer above - 17:09, 5 October 2022 (UTC) --Мит Сколов (talk) 07:05, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Исторический социолог Г. М. Дерлугьян отметил следующее: «В устном формате с удовольствием и изумлением слушаю в интернете лекции военного историка из Питера Клима Александровича Жукова. У него и подавно всё „прикольно“, полно иронических речевых прибамбасов, однако в то же время профессионально»

And where does he recommend Klim Zhukov here? Derlugyan just laughed at him, besides, as I understand it, he is often called a "military historian" in the media (of course, not seriously) because he created such a recognizable image for himself. Good morning, by the way. Emenrigen (talk) 05:33, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!.. What can you say about the words of Professor Vadim Dolgov: "Klim Zhukov - historian, also by his education"? [35] --Мит Сколов (talk) 07:21, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Vadim Dolgov meant that Klim Zhukov studied at St. Petersburg State University but this does not make him an authoritative historian, and indeed a historian from an official point of view. Emenrigen (talk) 07:31, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What can you say about Dr. Yuri Bohan's characterization of Zhukov as a "Russian researcher"? See p. 127 --Мит Сколов (talk) 07:48, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Norasulk said: We need a source confirming that all these people have the right to refer to him as an authoritative historian. Emenrigen (talk) 07:59, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support deletion. Article is bulked up with mentions of carrying American flags (which isn't necessarily "Trumpism"), spreading of misinformation (which isn't necessarily "Trumpism"), denouncing of Trudeau by Musk (which isn't necessarily "Trumpism"), and so on. The smaller amount that actually has to do with the article title is (a) a few politicians have been compared to Trump disputably (b) some people in the United States (tip: people in the United States are not in Canada) gave opinions about Canada (c) some people in Canada say they would vote for Trump if they were American voters, e.g. according to a poll some Conservatives did ... but notice that the poll said far more were pro-Biden yet where is the "Bidenism in Canada" article? Not there, and shouldn't be there, because if we had an article every time some Canadians expressed a favourable view of some American, the articles would consist of WP:TRIVIA sections. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 14:38, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The topic isn't clearly defined and the sources are not from experts. The articles seems to imply that Trumpism has spilled over into Canada when in fact Canada has long had its own right-wing populist tradition. For example, the Reform Party of Canada (anti-immigrant, Islamophobic, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT etc., pro-hanging, etc.) got 19% of the vote in the 1997 election, becoming official opposition, before merging with the Progressive Conservative Party.

  • Strong keep As the creator and primary editor of this article, I appreciate the input from the editor who called for deletion, the two editors who supported the deletion and the one editor who called for it to be "dratified". I am hoping this call for the AfD will lead to contributions by other editors towards improving, not deleting or draftifying this article. Higher quality Wikipedia articles almost always have more editors. Since it was nominated as AfD on 22 September, I have been working on it to improve it by focusing on the helpful comments left by the 3 editors who called or voted for deletion and the one editor who called for it be draftified. I will continue to look for new and more robust RS. I am grateful to Wikipedia Library for providing access to what would otherwise be difficult to access sources. Editors can always delete specific content that is not relevant without deleting the entire article. I have created sections in the article's talk page where editors can discuss content they feel is not relevant to the topic. I hope that anyone who votes on this would take the time to carefully consider the RSs where Trumpism in Canada has been discussed at length, before deciding whether this topic is "made-up", or is not notable. There is considerable discussion in the RSs on the degree to which the political and ideological movement called Trumpism emboldened what had already existed in Canada's political landscape, and/or inspired/informed/inflamed new behaviours, and this can be developed further in the article. I have also worked on describing the credentials of RS authors and using inline citations to clarify that the words are not those of the editor but the authors themselves. This helps to remove anything that may be considered to be "original research". I spend a lot of time over the years contributing to Wikipedia as a volunteer and I enjoy it; my reputation as a principled and competent Wikipedia editor who follows Wikipedia protocols is important to me. I would also like to point out that this article was reviewed by User:MSG17on 15 January 2021‎ MSG17 and was assessed as a (C) Politics (Low), Conservatism (Low), Philosophy (Low), Donald Trump (Mid), Canada (Low) Oceanflynn (talk) 17:33, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Oceanflynn, you wrote, "There is considerable discussion in the RSs on the degree to which the political and ideological movement called Trumpism emboldened what had already existed in Canada's political landscape." Wouldn't it make more sense to have an article about what already existed in Canada, then outline how it was changed by Trump? The Ford family for example was active in Canadian politics before Trump ran for president. In fact, Daniel Dale, who became famous by writing about Doug Ford, went on to cover Trump as chief factchecker. Note that Rob Ford died before Trump was elected president. It's as if the article was written to explain right-wing politics in Canada to Americans. TFD (talk) 01:35, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sadly, Delete. There's a lot of good work here, but I'm not convinced it's Wikipedia work. Although reliable sources are used, the case for the topic itself as coherent is made by assembling those sources together, rather than sources severally and individually establishing it as a "thing" in the literature. So it's WP:OR. On Google scholar, the only references for "Trumpism in Canada" are three, and all by the same authors, and two are chapters from the same book. That's not enough to establish it as a subject in its own right. Other hits on scholar and google books are merely in passing. This article would be better shaped into the right genre and published in the real world.OsFish (talk) 07:57, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

According to the AAGPBL website ([49]), she played in 1946 in the league, but the only thing that is known about her is that her last name is "Gregory." That's it. The AAGPBL website doesn't list anything else, not even a team or first name. Fails WP:GNG, as I was not able to find any significant coverage. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:55, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. One of the weakest parts of the old WP:NBASE was the granting of 1 game auto-notability to players in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, a World War II-era women's novelty league that sought to economically capitalize on the fact that the quality of play in MLB had declined significantly during the WWII era, as so many MLB players were fighting in the war and were not available to play baseball anymore. After an initial blip in publicity during the war years, this league quickly faded into obscurity once the war ended and all of the MLB players came back, and was more or less completely forgotten until nearly 50 years later when a Hollywood movie was released that thrust it back into public consciousness. The end result of all this is that we have created Wikipedia articles about many of the players in this league that are lacking even such basic details as dates of birth and death. In the case of this player in particular, we don't even know her first name, we have no stats at all on her (so, we really don't know if she ever played in this league or not, she could have very well been a benchwarmer who never actually made it out onto the field), and we don't even know what team she supposedly played for. To summarize, I would be shocked if any player who played in this league after 1945 has received any type of significant coverage at all. Ejgreen77 (talk) 06:18, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This club is one of over a hundred UK orienteering clubs (See British Orienteering Website). As far as I can tell, only one other club is listed, and this club is Edinburgh University Orienteering Club, which is (I think) the most successful club in the country. The only references are from the Club's own website, with only one from British Orienteering (which is the same as any other affiliated club, and does not state Octavian Droobers as exceptional). This club does not fit the club notability guideline (as far as I can tell) set out on the Wikipedia Sport Notability guideline section for Orienteering.

With the addition of the reviews from Gigwise and Rock Sound I was able to find, this might, at the absolute barest minimum, scrape by SIGCOV. That, of course, is assuming the reliability of The Fly (whose review is archived here), a publication I'm completely unfamiliar with. So maybe, just maybe, this could be a keep, but I'm very unconfident in it. I vote redirect to Pull_Tiger_Tail#Discography (although that's gonna need a check for sources as well, it's not looking very good either). QuietHere (talk) 14:46, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV and WP:NALBUM per the three independent reviews produced by the nominator. @QuietHere Here is an article on The Fly in The Independent. It was a notable publication. We have an article on it at The Fly (magazine). Also, you might consider whether The Lost World (album) is notable while you are digging into Pull Tiger Tail. That article has zero references at present.4meter4 (talk) 15:12, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    1. Thank you for this info on The Fly. It being defunct since 2014 probably explains a significant amount of why I've never seen it around. 2. Had a look at The Lost World and came up empty so here's an AfD for that. QuietHere (talk) 15:24, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kommentar: I would consider The Fly to have been a reliable source, and remember it well from living in London in the 2000s, where it was widely available in almost every location that had some connection to music – it may have been free, been published by the owners of London music venues, and looked like a booklet, but it most definitely was several steps up from a zine, with serious professional full-time journalists and writers and an editorial team. Editor JJ Dunning is now editor-in-chief at Red Bull Media UK, and has written for The Guardian and Q. Deputy editor Harriet Gibsone has written several pieces for The Guardian. Chief staff writer Ben Homewood is now the features editor for Music Week. Former editor Niall Doherty became deputy editor of Q after leaving The Fly and has written for Mojo, Classic Rock, Rolling Stone UK, NME, FourFourTwo and others.

I agree with 4meter4. I know WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES is not a valid argument for AfD (rightly so), but Pull Tiger Tail did receive airplay and media coverage during their brief career, and I strongly suspect there is coverage of both the band and this album in print issues of NME and possibly Q from the time. I'd be far less convinced that the rarities album got much attention, though. Richard3120 (talk) 17:08, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4: I was talking about my statement that this would have received coverage in NME and Q. But I take your point that the existing three sources are enough for this to pass WP:NALBUM without additional hypothetical sources. Richard3120 (talk) 17:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NFILM. Pardon my failure of BEFORE, but I don't see anything in the article that even asserts notability, let alone prove it. The only source is the English DVD distributor, the director's name is a redlink, and it does not even have a Japanese wiki page (ja:奴隷船 (曖昧さ回避) dab page has it as a redlink. No such user (talk) 09:48, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4, the five links (AllMovie, IMDb, etc) that I provided within my "Keep" vote are not focused upon delineating Kyōko Aizome's career, but primarily this film. As for notability is not inherited, the content of that essay on Wikipedia deletion policy contains this text, "That is not to say that this is always the case (four of the notability guidelines, for creative professions, books, films and music, do allow for inherited notability in certain circumstances)". —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 16:45, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Roman, AllMovies and IMDB are film databases, which means their scope is basically every film ever recorded, but it is not our mission. They are not even considered reliable sources (but are appropriate external links), so cannot establish notability. Alligatorgraphe is a personal blog. We need multiple independent reviews about this film and coverage of more than the plot. Even its IMDB entry is a dead end, with zero critics reviews and zero user reviews. No such user (talk) 19:22, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No such user, I contend that any film with Kyōko Aizome, who is a celebrity in Japan, is by definition notable even if editors of Japanese Wikipedia had not gotten around to creating an entry for this film. The five websites above, including entry at FilmStarts and entry at MUBI obviously feel sufficiently strongly about it, having devoted time and space to the film. As for AllMovie, its reputation must be held in sufficient regard by The New York Times which includes on its website thousands of AllMovie film reviews. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 01:20, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Unable to find significant coverage even when searching in Japanese. Only relevant hits are news about the then pending release, [55], [56]. – robertsky (talk) 03:36, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Löschen. I appreciate the keep vote's effort, but we need to respectfully disagree (note: I added a neutral note at WikiProject Film asking for if more refs could be found, but will abstain from this discussion). Databases such as IMDb discouraged by WP:NFILM, more databases and trivial mentions does not show notability. Examples of coverage insufficient to fully establish notability include newspaper listings of screening times and venues, "capsule reviews", plot summaries without critical commentary, or listings in comprehensive film guides such as Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide, Time Out Film Guide, or the Internet Movie Database. Besides, IMDb is generally unreliable on WP:RSP. Note that its reputation must be held in sufficient regard by The New York Times which includes on its website thousands of AllMovie film reviews- yes but in this case AllMovie's coverage is a database with user reviews, which should be self-published and generally unreliable. Further, films get no inherited notability because of notable cast members. The response is an example of cherry picking, the essay states both [t]hat is not to say that this is always the case (four of the notability guidelines, for creative professions, books, films and music, do allow for inherited notability in certain circumstances), or that the subordinate topic cannot be mentioned in the encyclopedia whatsoever. If it refers to the additional inclusionary criteria per WP:NFILM, this meets none of these guidelines. Further, the essay also notes [t]he spirit and the letter of the guideline are concerned with having enough content to write articles from a neutral point of view. Critical commentary from reputable professional reviewers and prestigious awards are examples of short but significant (i.e. nontrivial) mentions that have been used to establish notability and are useful to write Reception sections (see the specific guidelines for books, films, music and artists); common sense and editorial judgement should be used to reach a consensus about the sources available. Besides, why is an essay cited to bypass WP:GNG and WP:NFILM, which doesn't approve inherited notability if it doesn't meet the additional NFILM guidelines? As databases are insufficient to be considered as critical commentary, this fails SIGCOV. Otherwise, if database entries are SIGCOV almost every film listed on IMDb could have an article.

I have been able to verify that this guy existed in a table of baseball statistics in an old book. However he appears to have only played for two days and two games. He does not appear to meet the baseball notability criteria WP:NBASE and is not mentioned as a significant and notable player on Buffalo_Bisons_(National_League). In the very small chance that anyone finds something significant about a player who only played two games, it should surely appear there first. JMWt (talk) 07:26, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • There is a SABR publication about Ritter, but I haven't been able to access it. If anyone knows how to navigate the SABR web site, the citation is: "Who was Mr. Ritter?", in Bill Carle, ed.: Biographical Research Committee Report, SABR, November/December, 2011, p. 4.
  • this is a single paragraph in a newsletter. The total context is as follows

In 1885, a man named Ritter played two games at second base for Buffalo. We list this player as

Charles Ritter. We have been able to locate a Charles Ritter from Buffalo who died in Florida in 1958. But was he the ballplayer? The late Joe Overfield, in his book 100 Seasons of Buffalo Baseball, left Ritter unidentified. If his name was indeed Charles, we have probably have found him, but my guess

is that his first name was not listed. Can someone identify Mr. Ritter, our Mystery of the Month?

I personally don't think this helps the case of "keep"! JMWt (talk) 14:33, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
These things are no longer unknown. Nemec's book was published a decade later and confirmed Ritter's identity, year of birth, year of death, and more. The ongoing research and publications IMO demonstrate that Ritter's significance is enduring. Cbl62 (talk) 16:30, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's David Nemec's book. He is an authoritative source. Cbl62 (talk) 14:27, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's also a single paragraph, asserting that the person existed and talking about his baseball statistics. How does that meet WP:NBASE? JMWt (talk) 14:36, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I didn't know that. How do a couple of newsletters - where the authors seem unsure even of the guy's name - meet the GNG? JMWt (talk) 14:50, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You should know that there is no "minimum of three in-depth sources". GNG requires multiple sources, which means that two is sufficient. Indeed, in some cases, one may be sufficient. The Nemec book (20 lines dedicated to Ritter by an eminent historian) is clearly one. The Buffalo newspaper obit also has some depth, and the SABR piece less so. But for an athlete who played 137 years ago, that's pretty darn good and GNG-satisfying in my book. Cbl62 (talk) 01:09, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this person played in the National League and there is at least some WP:SIGCOV about him in an era where media coverage is not even close to the level it is today. Even if not a technical pass by the letter of GNG, this is a case in which WP:IAR and WP:COMMONSENSE can be used. Frank Anchor 03:34, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have been only able to verify that this guy existed - he is listed in a table of head coaches in an old book. I can't find anything else at all, and to be honest I don't think there is anything to find about someone who coached college football in the 1890s for 4 games. In the vanishingly small chance that there was enough to say about the guy to write a paragraph, it should surely be on Central Michigan Chippewas football.

Marabar Caves (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)

Does not have WP:SIGCOV to demonstrate notability. A search does show some passing mentions, but at most they just go into more WP:PLOT elements that take place in a single scene. To be clear, the events in the caves quite literally the events that motivate the whole novel, and it would be like writing a separate article for the trial of Tom Robinson and To Kill a Mockingbird. Maybe someone could expand on the plot details to A Passage to India. But as a separate subject, this does not have significant real-world third party coverage. Jontesta (talk) 14:17, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's an honest question, and the analogy in my nomination was my best way to sum up the sources from the previous AFD. This is like writing an article about the trial of Tom Robinson for To Kill a Mockingbird, or Picture of Dorian Gray (painting) for The Picture of Dorian Gray.
  • The plot of the A Passage to India is literally a party of characters deciding to visit some caves, where a British woman is injured in the dark and blames it on an Indian character, and the ensuing fallout of that accusation. "What happened in the caves?" is the central event of the novel, and some of the sources treat the caves more as a subtitle of the novel itself (such as "The Marabar Mystery" or "The meaning of the Marabar Caves"). I would grant that the sources briefly mention the symbolic value of the caves, as dark and mysterious, and as part of the age old discourse on Orientalism and the "mysterious" East. But the caves are also mysterious because the central mystery of the novel is literally the what happened in the caves, and the reaction of the characters to that mystery. (And, by extension, the audience reading the novel, and the scholars who write about it.)
  • In short, the sources provide an analysis of the events of the novel as a whole, rather than anything notable about the actual space. There's some good scholarly material, but it would be on topic at the main article. Jontesta (talk) 20:49, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for broadly the same reasons as in the previous AfD. Significant coverage has been clearly shown to exist. The nominator muddles things by comparing this article on a fictional setting to a hypothetical article on a fictional event: while fictional events like Tom Robinson's trial are unlikely to be independently notable, fictional settings very often are, and we have lots of articles on them. The nominator muddles things further with their last comment above: if you think this subject should be covered in the main article rather than in a separate article, you're proposing a merge—which there'd be a stronger case for, as per WP:PAGEDECIDE we can sometimes consider independently notable topics as part of broader articles—and this is the wrong venue. (Improving this with some of the sources identified has been on my to-do list for a while, and will remain so if it's kept, but I unfortunately can't give a sense of when I might actually get round to that.) – Arms & Hearts (talk) 11:03, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can't support a merge for content that hasn't been written yet. I nominated this for deletion after reviewing the sources, because I had strong doubts that even a hypothetical expansion could cover anything that isn't really about the novel and its most central scene in the plot. But a redirect would be most appropriate if you don't plan on expanding it until later. Jontesta (talk) 14:14, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I guess for me the question is whether the plot point really has a "life of its own" outwith of the novel. I think we have some evidence that it does, given it has been a specific subject of scholarly study. On that basis I would !vote keep. JMWt (talk) 07:52, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The secondary sources listed above show that there is WP:SIGCOV after all, and as they have already been presented in the first deletion discussion, this should have been clear from the start. As there is analysis of the function and symbolism in those sources, the suggestion that there is only WP:PLOT information seem likewise in error. Daranios (talk) 19:06, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Last year a long string of broadcast transmitter AFD's all closed as delete, prompting warring over the advice and claims presented at Common outcomes for broadcast as well as the content and status of WP:BROADCAST. Both were updated to say this area is subject to GNG rules after this RFC. The debate and outcome of that RFC thoroughly smashed the stance that licensed broadcast has inherent notability based on citing mere evidence of existence/operation, or that such articles can be can be defended by WP:REFBOMBing the page with routine or frivolous cites. This article demonstrates exactly what was rejected by broad community consensus. The article currently contains two sentences, stating nothing more than existence and location. That can and should have been sourced by a single ref. Instead it has a 9 ref WP:OVERCITE, solely to pack in worthless redundant refs.

Not even run on a university website, it's a Selfpubishling webhost. Aside from extremely questionable Reliability, this fails our independence criteria.

  • Comment:
Wikipedia has established processes to deal with certain procedures. These include deletion discussions and featured content. Because these processes are somewhat institutionalized, they are sometimes wrongly assumed to be majority votes. In reality, Wikipedia's policy is that each of these processes is not decided based on a head count, but on the strength of the arguments presented and on the formation of consensus.
Because the point of these processes is to form consensus, it is much better for editors to explain their reasoning, discuss civilly with other editors, and possibly compromise than it is to sign a one-word opinion. "Votes" without reasoning may carry little to no weight in the formation of a final consensus.[78]
Including the Nom this is currently 3-3, however this is a clear case of Not A Headcount. We have a WP:CONLEVEL site wide RFC explicitly rejecting notability for broadcast lacking independent significant coverage, and we have ZERO sources of independent significant coverage here. We have two naked keep votes that give no indication of considering sourcing or notability criteria, and we have one blatantly bad faith keep vote frivolously claiming (3) and (7) are in-depth IMV when they contain no more than two substantially content-free sentences from a same source. They also disregard that (4) and (6) are a single source lacking independence and that (6) literally contains nothing but an empty deleted facebook notice. The sourcing has been examined in detail, and there has been no credible dispute here. If a full and careful examination of the sources carries no more weight than a naked unsupported claim "passes GNG" or "fails GNG" then there is no reason for anyone to invest the labor to examine the sources and post the analysis. We can just post naked WP:Votes. Or better yet, just let the WMF build us thumbs-up/thumbs-down buttons and let the software carry out the deletion.

Section for this person in Siege of Najaf (1918) article

I have written a short paragraph on this person in the Siege of Najaf (1918). Is it fine with you all if we just redirect this article there? Seems fair, as most coverage (not counting routine information in soldier lists) only talks about him in relation to the uprising.

William Macandrew Marshall (6 February 1889 – 19 March 1918[1]) was a British Indian Army captain. He had performed military service since 1908. By 1915, during World War I, he served as the captain of the 37th Dogras regiment, serving in Mesopotamia.[2] He fought in the Siege of Kut and partook in the conquest of Baghdad.[1] On 1 February 1918, Marshall was stationed in Najaf, a city he would come to administer over the following weeks.[3] William R. Marshall, British commander-in-chief of Mesopotamia, said he was popular among local inhabitants.[4] In the morning of 19 March 1918, a number of Najafis led by Haji Najm al-Baqqal disguised as Shabanah, the British-employed Arab police, entered the citadel of Najaf where they murdered Marshall.[5]

(read WP:SIGCOV) We need sources that are entirely independent from Cinema Centric and the people associated with them. 4meter4 (talk) 03:42, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also note: Think Shorts is a submission based review site. Under its FAQ it says: "Unlike other curated short film platforms, we never reject short films. All films submitted to Think Shorts are guaranteed to be showcased on our website.".-KH-1 (talk) 03:48, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"No you didn't."?
The "third party website write ups" I was referring are on ThinkShorts.com. I'm not trying to upset anyone, I will keep adding information to the page as I find it on the internet, but if it's not meeting requirements, then please delete the page and I'll move onto a different project. Respectfully, thank you for your time. Lighthouse337 (talk) 03:50, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Got you. Given the low bar for submissions for ThinkShorts.com, I don't think we would consider this significant coverage under wikipedia's policies for notability. We need sources which have a higher standard of editorial oversight than what is provided by ThinkShorts.com. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:56, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Canada and Arizona. Shellwood (talk) 07:35, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. 13 of the 14 footnotes come from primary sources (IMDb, the company's own self-published social networking presence) that are not support for notability at all, and the only one that comes from a third party is not from an outlet that's genuinely reliable enough to secure passage of WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH all by itself — if there was a solid mix of good sources otherwise, then it wouldn't be a problem, but it can't clinch notability all by itself if the other sourcing is all junk. As usual, the rule here is not "every company is entitled to have an article as long as it's possible to verify that it exists" — we require external validation of the company's significance to be established by third party sources writing analytical content about the company and its products, and there isn't nearly enough of that being shown here.

List of tourist attractions in Jamshedpur (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Not notable per WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NLIST, "tourist attraction" is such a poorly defined term that there is no potential inclusion criteria for the list that doesn't include every notable building and feature in Jamshedpur, and there has been no coverage of these places as a group outside of clearly unreliable, crufty tourism websites. Devonian Wombat (talk) 02:12, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Devonian Wombat: Wikipedia currently has dozens of lists of tourist attractions; how should we decide whether each of these lists are kept or deleted? Jarble (talk) 02:27, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. We have a large navigational page of such lists at Lists of tourist attractions. I really think your concerns over this list construct should be raised at Talk:Lists of tourist attractions instead of randomly picking one list at AFD. That said, lists of attractions are a common feature in published travel books. As such I think sourcing such lists from reliable publications would not be difficult. Look at published travel guides to India and I imagine you would find multiple such lists for the city of Jamshedpur to source this article.4meter4 (talk) 03:24, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nightbitch (film)

Unreleased film that does not meet film notability or general notability. Originator moved it from draft space to article space with comment: "Filming has begun" and a source. There is a myth that a film becomes notable when principal photography begins. In fact, the film notability guideline is poorly written, and has been confusing for more than a decade, but it says that a film is not notable before filming has begun, and that an unreleased film in production is only notable if production itself satisfies general notability. There is nothing in this article that provides significant coverage of the production or release of the film. (It hasn't been released.) A review of the references shows that they are all the usual announcements made about an upcoming film, such as signing of the director and leading lady, and the distribution deal. All of the sources are primary. They are all reliable, but they are mostly reliably promotional.

Number Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary
1 deadline.com Announcement of film and leading lady No Yes Yes No
2 hollywoodreporter.com Announcement of auction to produce film and of leading lady No Yes Yes No
3 hollywoodreporter.com Announcement of production of film and of leading lady No Yes Yes No
4 variety.com Story about personnel change at production company, passing mention of film Yes No Yes No
5 deadline.com Announcement of distribution deal for film No Yes Yes No
6 avclub.com Announcement of distribution deal and puff piece for film No Yes Yes No
7 variety.com Announcement of signing of leading man No Yes Yes No
8 bloody-disgusting.com Another announcement of signing of leading man No Yes Yes No
9 variety.com Another announcement of distribution, director, and actress No Yes Yes No
10 worldofreel.com Announcement of start of filming, and teaser No Yes Yes No
11 indiewire.com Announcement of plans to release film No Yes Yes No


The article should be moved back into draft space until the film is released, and a redirect should be made to Marielle Heller. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:18, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No significant coverage in reliable sources to show notability. Mainly gaming blogs. CNMall41 (talk) 00:49, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The game is a significantly played game (over 225 million downloads), more than lots of other video game articles. Will be updating with more sources soon. CanO27sprite (talk) 01:24, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I guess with that and the VGC/Dot Esports articles you could make a weak case, but its not enough to push me to vote keep. If there was one more review from a VGRS I'd think that would be enough to keep. Jumpytoo Talk 08:55, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The PocketGamer source is NOT a review, it is almost entirely a press release. VGC is routine news (see WP:CORPDEPTH, which notes "standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage" as examples of trivial coverage) ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 20:07, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
