  • I am a new editor and still finding my feet, so please don’t be mean if anything I say here is not pertinent for an AfD discussion. As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles I added the single reference to this article – I would say that the source is probably not the most solid, but I have done a bunch of searching for other sources, without turning up anything that is very reliable, like toweli. That said, my sense is that there probably are decent sources sufficient to establish the record label’s notability, but they will likely be in print format from 30+ years ago and therefore less easy to find. Particularly if, like me, editors are not familiar with the area. I am pinging a few users who contributed to both sides in previous deletion discussions according to the edit history: Chubbles Hoponpop69 Tikiwont Hello Control. The creating editor is no longer on Wikipedia. As alternatives to deletion, one might consider:
    1. Merging the content into Homestead Records, maybe as a sister label or some such.
    2. Creating a new article for the umbrella distributor Dutch East India Trading, and merging this article and that for Homestead Records into that.

-- SunloungerFrog (talk) 08:48, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

If such an article on Dutch East India Trading were to be made I would recommend this article to be merged there. Said article has to exist first though. Since it doesn't, I don't recommend for this article to be redirected to Homestead Records either, since there's no mention of Giant Records there. Given the lack of coverage as well as the difficulty of finding anything about it due to the overlap in name with the Warner Bros. label, I recommend delete. Reconrabbit 17:37, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep: President Andrew Jackson was somewhat unique in his adoption of native American children. All of these should be kept: Theodore, Charley and Lyncoya. The issue with merging is that it would be too large for many readers. This is a substantive part of Jackson's life and should be kept. — Maile (talk) 15:37, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Aside. I object to the word "captive". That doesn't jibe with this article or Theodore's. Neither was captured by Jackson, and it seems to me to be a POV slur against him. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:07, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
    • Clarityfiend It's funny, after reading the sources published in the last 20 years, I think I object to calling Lyncoya his "adopted son" but that's mostly me being emo and a different discussion that probably happens on generational timescales. ANYWAY, I assumed it would get moved at some point and I am very excited to see what another brain thinks of. My only caveat is that Theodore is not confirmed to have been Muscogee, and based on cultural norms of the time, was very possibly given as a gift/tribute by an ally (see Charley), so the title shouldn't be Theodore (Muscogee). I don't think it abrogates him being a captive that Jackson didn't personally throw a net over him and carry him home--Jackson had possession of a bunch of orphaned babies that didn't belong to him because he was a local warlord running a race war--but it doesn't need to be in the title of the article. But I don't know what else to use. Halp? jengod (talk) 14:33, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
    • ADD: We could arguably merge them both into Lyncoya as subsections. I didn't do that in the first place because these two were separate human people with distinct stories and their burial in brittle letters and footnotes for much of the past 200 years was not accidental. They were very intentionally excluded from the narrative. jengod (talk) 14:57, 23 October 2024 (UTC
Clarityfiend,Jengod: Another thought comes to mind here: we look at this through the eyes of our era. There is a old tradition in Hawaii, even now, called Hānai (informal adoption) whereby parents gave their children to others to be raised. One of the reasons in earlier years was because you weren't likely to go to war against someone who was raising your child. Hānai is still practiced there, for a variety of reasons. We don't know the background (do we?) of why Jackson got these native American children. But there might have been reasoning for it. — Maile (talk) 04:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
  • "Andrew Jackson's Native American pet"? He called him a pet, so no slur here against the esteemed slaveholder, we wouldn't want to do that of course. Fram (talk) 09:16, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
    • As bad as that sounds in 2024, language changes over the centuries. "a pampered and usually spoiled child" Merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pet among a lot of different definitions pulled up by a search. Unless we can dig up the year 1814 definition, we'll never know. — Maile (talk) 00:18, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

  • For clarity: this is also being discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theodore (Andrew Jackson captive). -- asilvering (talk) 18:19, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Redirect, for now, to Andrew Jackson#Family, where all three of these children are mentioned. Subsequently, editors may want to merge parts of them into a yet to be written article about Jackson's treatment of and relations with Native Americans. Notability is beside the point: these children are not covered by sources because of their individual characteristics but only in relation to Jackson; they exist in sources only as (minor) aspects of his biography. Since Wikipedia follows its sources, we must do likewise. Sandstein 21:41, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Probably should have discussed this along with Reel Tight. Looking at the sources (that aren't dead), the only source that somewhat confirms WP:NRV is an article by OffBeat and even then, the article doesn't elaborate much other than calling the band a success story.

  • Keep either this or Reel Tight, merging text and redirecting to one or the other. It made three charts; the dead links don't matter as they can be resolved, and in the case of Vibe, the citation is to the mag; and the nominator gave no indication that a BEFORE was performed, let alone if the BEFORE used databases and non-Google methods to look for sources about a group from the late '90s... Caro7200 (talk) 21:49, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment - The band's article just barely survived delation at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reel Tight, and I have fleshed out their article a bit with sources from this album article, though there is very little to work with. That may alter the trajectory of this album AfD, though I will leave my vote as-is to avoid confusion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

2007 Gerry Reilly Cup (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)

Non-notable edition/staging of amateur sports event - that doesn't meet WP:NSEASON or WP:SIGCOV or WP:NEVENT. Even if the competition as a whole (the Gerry Reilly Cup) has notability, there is nothing to indicate that this single running of that event has independent notability. Certainly the text of the article, the refs within it, and a WP:BEFORE search for other sources do not appear to establish independent notability. If not deleted, as an WP:ATD, the title could perhaps be redirected to Gerry Reilly Cup (perhaps to a section WP:WITHIN it dealing with the 2007 event). But there is otherwise no apparent sources/rationale for a single instance of this (non-national, provincial, amateur, childrens/schoolboy) competition has independent notability. (By extension I would question the expectation/presumption, in this template, that every annual occurrence of this amateur/teenage competition warrants a standalone WP:NSEASON/WP:NEVENT article....) Guliolopez (talk) 20:57, 15 October 2024 (UTC) Guliolopez (talk) 20:57, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

I intend to create more articles for annual events of this provincial underage football competition, which has grown in stature with each passing year, with counties beyond the province of Leinster now participating. The 2007 Gerry Reilly Cup article was created because when I located the Gerry Reilly Cup article, I found it to be in a very unsatisfactory condition. It was possibly created in 2007 as it focused very much on that year's competition. I tidied up the article and thought it best to create a standalone 2007 Gerry Reilly Cup article to place the bulk of content that I found on the main page. The format of the tournament has also changed since 2007 so the content had become dated and no longer accurate in the way that it appeared on the main page. It was also quite challenging to source references for that renewal of the tournament which happened seventeen years ago. Moresthepity (talk) 21:19, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for your note. If it's "challenging to source references for [..the event..] which happened seventeen years ago", would that not indicate that WP:SIGCOV isn't met? And that, perhaps, (whatever about the competition as a whole or instances of the competition held on other years) the 2007 staging doesn't/didn't warrant a standalone article?

Ireland Eurovision Song Contest entries discography (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The discography and chart history of a nation's Eurovision entries has no relevance to the country's participation in Eurovision. Beyond the songs being Eurovision entries (which are already covered in more detail at Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest), how they charted in their country or elsewhere does not have an impact on the nation's participation history nor its success/placement at the contest. Grk1011 (talk) 14:44, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Additional nominated article for the same reasons:

UK Eurovision Song Contest entries discography (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The basis of this deletion discussion is based in the following policies/guidelines:

  • WP:GNG: The list lacks significant coverage in sources, with most supplied references being the chart positions themselves, with no added context. The article does not establish what grouping all of these songs and chart positions together is trying to prove, show, or discuss.
  • WP:NOTSTATS: The list of one specific statistic about these Eurovision songs only shows how they fared on one specific country's music charts (not even at the contest itself); it lacks context or explanation.
  • WP:LISTCRIT: The list is a synthesis of available information, compiled nowhere else in this level of detail other than on Wikipedia, for which the membership criteria remain somewhat unclear. The point of the article is just to identify a song's placing? To compare? Why only domestic charts? Why do other articles list the album they were on too? What text could be added to provide context without becoming WP:OR? How is this a "discography"?

Grk1011 (talk) 12:55, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete both per nomination. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 17:10, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep. The information contained is relevant to the UK charts more so than the Eurovision itself, which is highly notable. It is also a useful guide to how successful the songs were in the real world. The information is well sourced, so I see no reason to delete. The UK article has been in existence for 13 years and receives regular edits, so obviously has a lot of interest. The nominator hasn't given any policy reasons for deletion other than he/she doesn't like it, it seems.Tuzapicabit (talk) 19:05, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep Ireland Eurovision Song Contest entries discography. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the nominator's rationale but, as noted above, it doesn't appear to be based on a specific policy. Not one I'm familiar with at any rate. To my mind, the main applicable policy is WP:NLIST. Which would expect the list subject/members to be discussed as a group. And several sources, including those I found/added in my own BEFORE, appear to discuss the topic (performance of Irish Eurovision entries in the Irish singles chart) as a subject. And discuss the list members as a group. As expected by NLIST(?) Guliolopez (talk) 22:21, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Draftify: I found some sources (which appear to be secondary) see 1, 2 and 3. The article needs some improvement in general, but I don't think it should be deleted. SirBrahms (talk) 09:31, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
    The page is 12 years old and has had no active editing. Draftify looks like backdoor deletion in this case. But the sources you have found are interesting. The first is a primary source: a Ph.D. thesis. Despite being a primary source, it could contain secondary information about the university, and provide something to write an article from, so I would not rule it out just for being apparently primary. The second source is a listing. That is not SIGCOV, definitely not at CORPDEPTH, and independence is questionable. The third source is the most important though. That tells us that the university was seized and closed down in 2016 following a failed military coup (it was an asset of those involved). The source is primary in that it is a news report, but presents a bit of a quandary. It shows that, on the one hand, the university no longer exists and only existed for six years. Based on that, it is unlikely this ever reached notability. On the other hand, the very event that caused it to close would appear to make something notable. I am leaning towards merge to somewhere, if there is a suitable target regarding the coup. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
    Thank you for your comments! It may be viable to merge it into Purges in Turkey following the 2016 Turkish coup attempt (especially considering it hasn't had any active editing in so long (a thing I regrettably forgot to check)). Regards, SirBrahms (talk) 17:40, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
    I'd move to merge if it made sense. How would that look though? There were 15 universities closed in the purge, and none are currently named. Should they be listed? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:10, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
    I'd say yes. I'm imagining something like this:
    • University one, Place, Exact reason for closure (if applicable)
    • etc.
    What do you think? Regards, SirBrahms (talk) 20:03, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
    If we have the exact reason for each, sure. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:29, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete - Further to my above comment, according to this page Purges in Turkey following the 2016 Turkish coup attempt, this was one of 15 universities shut down in the purges following the coup. It seems undue to add this one to that page. Yet if it is not even notable for a mention there, it is not notable for a page. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:34, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

    Added some to the page.
    By the way, you have currently opened 27 Afds regarding Turkey-related articles. It is an extremely (and in my view exceedingly) high number for one nominator, especially concerning one topic, and it happens to be very challenging for interested users to find sources and even !vote. I understand you take to Afds pages that are unsourced but, precisely, it takes a lot of time to find sources. At the very least, I am inviting you to kindly slow down your nominations; personally, I would even suggest that you stop further nominations until the present ones are closed.

  • I looked as promised, don't know yet. Solo appearance at the BBC Proms is at least something. I added some external links to check out. Her repertoire seems off the beaten track, plenty contemporary, and we might want to support that. I found the ref from which most of the article was taken and reworded. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:53, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

    Keep: I haven't looked at those yet, but the English article is now referenced. For me, she is notable enough, having made interesting recordings, with notable ensembles and conductors, and only favourable reviews. She is not a diva-type soprano: that should not be a reason to delete. The article serves many links to music that is not normally in focus, both Baroque as contemporary. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:12, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
    For the French sources, I need help to not misread the French:
    1. [2] This Le Monde article says that she won a prize.
    2. [3] This is a more detailed review of her singing (not just "outstanding").
    3. [4] recital
    4. [5] recording --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
    @Gerda Arendt I don't think this in-depth enough to meet WP:SIGCOV. The last source is selling her CD and is not independent or significant coverage. The prod-s.com website also lacks independence. The Le Monde article spends half a sentence on her, and is a smaller not all that notable prize. The main prize went to another performer, Richard Rittelman, who deservedly is the focus of that article. Only the anaclase.com source approaches significant coverage (and honestly it isn't long enough to be considered in-depth as it devotes less than a paragraph of the article to her performance). Laurent Cuniot is the main subject of that article not Isshiki. There's not enough here to pass WP:NSINGER or WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO.4meter4 (talk) 21:15, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
    Is Wikipedia only for those who win first prize? - This is a performer of several unusual recordings, and performances in Paris, Brussels, Proms, ... - Aldeburgh could be added. - Deborah Sasson was kept, but achieved less in the music world. She knew how to attract the press, however. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:52, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt This has nothing to do with the evaluating the worth of prize winners, but evaluating the quality of coverage of Kaoli Isshiki in sources. A half sentence of text is not significant coverage, and if the award were significant we would expect more coverage in independent media or academic publications. We can only build articles based on our notability guidelines which requires that we support articles with extant sources that contain significant coverage. That does mean that what journalists and academics choose to pay attention to directly impacts the types of articles we can create because we can't engage in WP:Original Research. That is both a limitation and a strength of writing on wikipedia. The fact that you have yet to locate any sources directly about Isshiki where she is the primary subject indicates that she isn't notable for wikipedia's purposes. This indicates that a journalist or an academic researcher needs to do some work before we can have an article and it is WP:TOOSOON for wikipedia to write on this person.4meter4 (talk) 22:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
I don't believe that our coverage should depend on one reviewer's or academic's personal attention or lack of that, when her contributions to music are facts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:45, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Then fundamentally you have missed the point of wikipedia's core policies at WP:No original research, WP:VERIFIABILITY, and WP:SIGCOV. We can't build articles largely verified to primary and non-independent sources. Best.4meter4 (talk) 18:20, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Informations about concerts and recordings are facts, not original research. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:56, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
See WP:PSTS which states, Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources, and to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources. Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and avoid novel interpretations of primary sources. The issue here is that there is not enough secondary coverage of her performances and recordings to establish the notability of those performances and recordings, and to make sure the "facts" are presented in an encyclopedic and neutral manner. Building an article from primarily primary materials and sources closely connected to the subject does not match the policy language at PSTS. At this point we have found zero secondary or tertiary sources with significant coverage. That makes the topic both not notable, and any article built from the current sources in evidence a violation of PSTS policy on the no original research page. Best.4meter4 (talk) 21:15, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
(Please educate me on my talk, not here. - Edit conflict, response only to the beginning of the comment above.) I didn't write this article, and probably would not have created it. But now it's there. I don't think we need "research" to agree that The Proms are notable, and that singing all of Monteverdi's Vespers (not just solos) is an admirable feat. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:29, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Quoting policy language here isn't about educating you Gerda (although if it does that is a bonus). It's relevant policy language to the discussion. Providing textual evidence for an WP:AFD argument is what we are supposed to do at an AFD for the benefit of all participants. I have provided a detailed source analysis below, showing how none of the references constitute independent significant coverage as required by WP:Notability.`4meter4 (talk) 01:11, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

I am travelling, and busy with other subjects, sorry for a late reply. Thank you for diligent analysis of sources, 4meter4. My issue is that it sees every item only on its own, not in context.
Of course there are, in general, biographies around that were written by the person in question or by a publicity specialist, but in this case I see the things mentioned there (studies in Europe, award, performances, recordings) also supported by trustworthy other references. I also don't see any items in the biography (which is repeated by other sites) that I'd consider far-fetched or sensational claims.
I see a singer performing in high quality and in teams, be it ensemble or with other soloists. I like that approach. I see her performing the lesser-performed music, both old and new, and would like to showcase that instead of deleting it. As John pointed out (below), there are different ways to establish notability according to Wikipedia:Notability (music). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:49, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
  • I found this Amazon listing which has her credited on all but one track. The main artist seems to be Pascal Dusapin. Then I found that her artist page at Amazon has four albums listed, one of which is under her own name. Here is another listing, from the Ensemble Vocal de Pontoise.Wikipedia:Notability (music) says our benchmarks for a standalone article on a musician include "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)." Maguelone (her record label) claims to have released work by Reynaldo Hahn and André Jolivet, who are independently notable, and to have been around since 1993. Overall, (and the coverage of her prize in a major French media source counts too) I think that this artist (just) meets WP:NMG, so I think this is a (fairly weak) keep from me.

The SNG is tied to the notability of the record label. Albums made with an obscure small record label probably aren't notable. It's not like she recorded for a significant classical music label like Decca, Naxos, or Deutsche Gramophone which have international distribution. We don't even have an article on the label she recorded with which is telling. It looks to me like she is only active with a tiny French independent record label that doesn't appear all that notable. 4meter4 (talk) 17:49, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

      This article has a lot of negative coverage about Liangyou's business failures and also covers the company's history. The article notes: "据《第一财经日报》记者多方了解,这家2011年总资产已达154亿元、全年销售收入165亿元的老牌国企,这几年却不尽如人意。食用油是良友的主营业务之一,良友集团原领导曾有“海狮兴,则良友兴”的论断,一位资深业内人士如此告诉本报记者。现实非常残酷,上海作为良友的总部,占尽“主场”便利,良友不仅输给了跨国粮油品牌金龙鱼,在央企品牌福临门和台湾品牌多力冲击下,良友也应对乏力,市场份额下滑。"

      From Google Translate: "According to the reporter of China Business News, this old state-owned enterprise, which had total assets of 15.4 billion yuan in 2011 and annual sales revenue of 16.5 billion yuan, has not been satisfactory in recent years. Edible oil is one of Liangyou's main businesses. The former leader of Liangyou Group once said that "if Sea Lion prospers, Liangyou will prosper", a senior industry insider told our reporter. The reality is very cruel. As the headquarters of Liangyou, Shanghai has the convenience of "home court". Liangyou not only lost to the multinational grain and oil brand Golden Dragon Fish, but also failed to cope with the impact of the central enterprise brand Fortune and the Taiwanese brand Duoli, and its market share declined."

      The article notes: "市场人士分析,良友食用油售价低,是因为作为国企,担负了上海市平抑物价的责任,企业品牌投入资金相对较少。这导致良友在市场竞争中非常不利。"

      From Google Translate: "Market analysts analyzed that the low price of Liangyou cooking oil is because, as a state-owned enterprise, it bears the responsibility of stabilizing prices in Shanghai, and the company's brand investment is relatively small. This puts Liangyou at a great disadvantage in market competition."

We have here a good example of WP:BLP1E, a person whose purported notability is tied to a single event, i.e. a single beauty pageant event. There are three sources which are difficult to evaluate as a non-Portuguese reader; however, they note a) the pageant win and b) a couple of appearances at charity events in support of the pageant, including a (possibly public??) breast exam. This is way too thin to support the general notability guideline, and there are no SNGs that could apply here. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:02, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

I have bundled the above articles for the same reason, except that they have even less sourcing. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:36, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep: I could find GNG in several sources of independent of subject. Check the Sout African here, I could find this, another by AngoRussia here, more here by Forbes Africa, also covered here in general. I could also stumble into this reported by subject's embassies in foreign countries. Again, you could not tag an article for AfD simply because it has less sources. That is the exact use of the template tags unless subject entirely has no traces of GNG. An article's sources being in foreign language other than in English is not a genuine reason for that. Otherwise, at very least, I would suggest redirecting it to Miss Angola, but then with pinged sources above, I go with keep. Hope the mentioned above can be used to sustain the article per WP:NEXIST--Tumbuka Arch (talk) 08:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Rebuttal: The Opais link you gave here is already in the article, and I dealt with its thinness in the deletion nomination. The embassy link provides just three sentences on the pageant, one of which is about the judges and not the subject of this bio. The South African gives us a bulleted list of stuff in the pageant handout like birth place and star sign, but nothing of substance for a biography – certainly nothing that could be used to expand the article. The Forbes article says very little at all, but notes she has an afro, a red swimsuit, and an unnamed "social project", but nothing really about the person. AngoRussia, a single sentence mentioning birthplace, area of study, and country of residence, nothing more. These, like the original sources, are shallow and/or in-passing and tied to the single event, which just underscores this is a BLP1E situation. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:06, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
An award is not an event, that passes, it’s an honour, that remains, and BLP1E does not apply imv. The guideline does not mention awards, at least, unless I missed it, whereas ANYBIO does. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 14:12, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Recent Release and Reception: "Good Day" is the first original Japanese-language song by BoyNextDoor, released on July 10, 2024, as part of their maxi single "And," which also includes Japanese re-recordings of previous hits. This context showcases its importance in the group's discography and the expanding international reach of K-pop.
  2. Cultural Impact: The song, characterized as a hip-hop track, deals with themes of self-empowerment and enjoying solitude after a breakup. This relatable subject matter can resonate with a wide audience, enhancing its cultural relevance.
  3. Industry Recognition: BoyNextDoor has already gained significant recognition in the K-pop industry, including awards such as the Global Rising Artist at the 2023 Melon Music Awards. This success indicates a strong fanbase and establishes their credibility as a notable act.
  4. Source Citations: Provide citations from reputable K-pop news sites like Allkpop, Kpopping, and Kpoppie that cover the song's release and significance. These sources validate the content and add weight to the article's claims about the song's impact and the group's activities.

Alright so: none of these reasons assert how the song meets WP:NSONG notability criteria.
Point #2 doesn't describe any actual cultural impact, point #3 is discussing the notability of the band, not the song. Nobody is questioning the notability of the band, and point #4 is moot as none of those sources are reliable sources, and, in fact, most of them are specifically noted as unreliable sources at WP:KO/RS#UR.

  • Keep there are some very quirky expressions and stylistic oddities for an english reader in the text of the article, (that is not encyclopediac) despite some off putting aspects that would lend to a sense of promotional - it is (barring some conclusive evidence of copyvio or similar problem) just notable, in the realm of probabilities, but requires quite a lot of editing.

This is not a distinct phenomenon, but rather a local name for swell surge used in coastal Kerala, also known by various names in other parts of the world. Presenting it as a distinct phenomenon is scientifically inaccurate. Additionally, this is not the Malayalam Wikipedia. Per WP:CFORK, this is an unnecessary content fork. The Doom Patrol (talk) 13:50, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Comment Fair enough, and I agree that this would be better treated as a more general topic, but I note that Swell (ocean) does not actually contain the term "swell surge", and does not seem to cover this type of phenomenon.

This is the main distinction highlighted in the article.

Ancestry.com and The Peak Seeker are not reliable. Highpointers.org is the official highpointing organization so should not be used here. The only seemingly reliable source here is The Oregonian. Unless more coverage can be found, I feel like Arthur H. Marshall's achievements are better discussed briefly in the highpointing article instead of in its own article as notability seems weak.

  • Weak delete or userfy/draftify if Michael Bednarek plans on fixing the sourcing issues raised, but needs more time. The subject might be notable, but the referencing is too poor to verify most claims at present. PS. Polish online encyclopedia of theater has a bit of info on her, including on one award ([6]), it mentions three news pieces, but only one seems to have WP:SIGCOV: [7]. That article does call her a "star of the Łódź theater scence", and her being chosen to sing at the Olympics seems to suggest she is notable - if someone can dig for more sources, and check for possible OR in the article. Ping me if it is improved and I'll revise my vote. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:59, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
  • I mined the existing citations for a few more assertions, added 2 more sources, and removed claims that I couldn't source. Bottom line: there's very little press coverage about her, but there's no doubt that she has performed numerous leading roles at numerous opera houses. I don't accept that the Grand Theatre, Łódź, or the Elektroniczna Encyklopedia Teatru Polskiego are regarded as non-independent sources (my point above and previously). -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:09, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
    I think I would agree with this. Ymblanter (talk) 15:52, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
@Michael Bednarek You didn't make this claim earlier with supporting evidence. All that was in the article was the website of a theatre where the subject works which is a non-independent source. A specialized encyclopedia entry was just added by you to the article after you made your earlier keep vote. That is evidence of independent significant coverage, which is exactly what I have been asking for.4meter4 (talk) 17:40, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
Actually, I added the encyclopedia as a reference a week ago. Ymblanter (talk) 18:01, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
Thanks Ymblanter for adding a good source to prove notability. I see now you added it on November 6. That still doesn't change the point that Michael's keep vote was made without evidence in October, and that I (nor anybody else) never referred to an encyclopedia as a non-independent source which is what Michael inferred in his last comment. FYI @Michael, the Grand Theatre, Łódź is non-independent because the subject works there. It's a pretty straight forward non-independent source. We wouldn't allow an employer's website to be used on an article on its employee for notability purposes in any other subject area. The fine arts is no exception. An encyclopedia on the other hand is clearly independent.4meter4 (talk) 18:13, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Changing to keep. Given that a specialized encyclopedia entry on the subject has been found, I am changing my vote to keep.

Hello, while I respect the reasoning behind the proposed deletion of Vafaei’s page, I believe the sources cited provide independent and impartial information. I see that he has been featured in many Turkish and global sources. Yashar Vafaei’s work, particularly his contributions in sustainable investment and economic development, holds significant value for society. The sources are not for promotional purposes but rather drawn from credible global sources that illustrate his impact in the business world and beyond. If there are sections that seem biased, I would be happy to assist in making necessary adjustments. I recommend preserving the page to continue offering valuable information to the public.

Wikipedia's notability guidelines for biographies of living persons, such as WP (General Notability Guideline), accept third-party recognition and profiles published on award platforms as potential sources. This source provides coverage that is independent and detailed enough to establish some notability.
  2. The February issue of Moscow Tonight, available on MagCloud, includes four dedicated pages about the subject. This source should meet WP guidelines, as it provides detailed coverage on the individual. The fact that the magazine is behind a paywall does not negate its validity as a source, especially since Wikipedia encourages the use of reliable sources regardless of paywalls (WP). To address your concern about access, I am happy to provide additional details if needed."
  3. I understand there may have been a translation challenge here, as the article on BBC 'Persian' references the individual within the broader context of cultural movements. The piece mentions notable figures, including the subject, associated with influential trends in this movement. BBC Persian is a reputable source, and while the English translation may lack some nuance, the article reflects the subject’s role within a culturally significant narrative, which aligns with WP when viewed as part of their broader impact. I’m happy to clarify any specific details from the source in the original Persian to ensure accurate representation. This source, while not comprehensive on its own, does contribute valuable context alongside other supporting sources that I am preparing to further substantiate the article.
  4. Mashregh News Article on a Protest Song (Bella Ciao and artists who sang) : While this article is not just a film review and may not solely focus on the subject, it is worth noting that WP allows for multiple sources that contribute to notability as a collective rather than needing to be individually comprehensive. This piece references the subject within a context that showcases their influence and relevance, particularly within cultural discussions, which contributes to notability even if indirectly.
  5. Roozaneh.net Biography (Appears to Be a Different Individual): I understand the concern here. It seems this website might be confusing in English translation but i have added this as there is a connection to related page as in the article it was mention of music collaboration and some refers. I am willing to remove it from consideration and focus on sources directly pertinent to the subject. My apologies for any confusion here.

  • Delete "Singer, songwriter, actor, social media Influencer and product designer" - I mean, you really do have to make your mind up which you're going to be! However, subject fails WP:GNG across any/all of these. The links provided in addition to those in the article are singularly unconvincing. The scant namechecks or one-line mentions of the subject do not collectively convince me that we are anywhere near a pass of WP:GNG. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:17, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
    Thank you for your feedback on the article. I would like to address the concerns you raised, with reference to Wikipedia’s guidelines to provide clarity. Based on Wikipedia’s guidelines and standards, this article meets the criteria for inclusion and should not be deleted. Here are several key reasons:
    1. Relevance of Multiple Roles: It’s not uncommon for Wikipedia to document individuals with multi-disciplinary careers, as this reflects the diverse nature of modern achievements. Figures such as Donald Glover and Jennifer Lopez are recognized for having multiple notable career paths. This bio reflects Ario Nahavandi’s notable roles across multiple fields, which aligns with Wikipedia's standards on verifiability and notability across multiple occupations.
    2. General Notability Guideline (WP): The subject's notability is supported through the National Diversity Awards , which is a curated platform recognizing notable figures. The profile published on this platform isn’t self-authored but rather part of an established award process, lending credibility as a third-party endorsement. This source provides significant coverage of the individual’s achievements.
    3. Reliability of Paywalled Sources: Wikipedia acknowledges that paywalled content is permissible, as stated in WP . The "Moscow Tonight" magazine article provides four pages dedicated to Ario Nahavandi, discussing his work and influence in detail. Although behind a paywall, this article offers depth and aligns with WP ’s requirement for significant coverage. Paywalls do not undermine a source’s validity, as Wikipedia emphasizes content reliability over accessibility.
    4. Verification and Language Nuances: The Persian articles references Ario Nahavandi within the context of each lines that eas mentioned and also cultural movements, specifically his version of the protest song "Bella Ciao." This song has significant cultural relevance and is widely associated with advocacy and social justice, topics that Nahavandi’s work reportedly explores. This source establishes the subject's cultural impact and positions him within a movement. While it may not be the sole basis for notability, it provides valuable context and should be considered alongside other sources.
    5. Indirect Contributions and WP : Wikipedia allows for cumulative notability, where references collectively demonstrate a subject’s influence and relevance. Although some sources provide indirect mentions, when considered together, they support the subject’s impact, especially within the Persian music scene and cultural discussions. WP does not demand each source to be exhaustive on its own; instead, they collectively establish the subject’s role within the field.

  • Delete: Does not pass notability for musicians, I don't see any charted singles or awards... Source 15 is about a government minister speaking about another person/actress, I'm not sure what that has to do with this person. Source 2 is a promotional link, as is source 4. Source 24 is a spotify link... Nothing of substance to show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:20, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
    I appreciate the feedback, but I feel like I’m repeating myself here and my previous responses aren’t getting through. I’ve explained the sources and how they align with Wikipedia’s guidelines multiple times now, but the same points keep being brought up without addressing what I’ve already clarified. Let me break it down again.
    1. Notability for Musicians: According to Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for musicians (WP), charted singles or awards are not the only ways to prove notability. There are plenty of other paths, like independent coverage from reputable sources—which is exactly what this article has. Sources like National Diversity Awards, Moscow Tonight, and Persian articles offer solid, independent discussions about Ario Nahavandi and his work, which should count toward notability.
    2. Independent Sources, Not Promotion: Calling sources like the National Diversity Awards and Moscow Tonight “promotional” doesn’t seem fair. These are third-party sources with editorial oversight, not advertisements. Just because they highlight his achievements doesn’t make them promotional—they’re providing coverage, which is what WP looks for in reliable sources. These follow the General Notability Guideline (WP) for third-party verification.
    3. Government Minister Source: There seems to be some confusion about Source 15, where a government minister is talking about an actress. This source helps give cultural context—it’s not unusual to include related content for background on notable figures, especially when covering their influence in a specific cultural scene. This isn’t off-limits according to WP guidelines; it’s a way to round out the picture.
    4. Spotify Link: Yes, there’s a Spotify link, but it’s only there as a supplement, not to prove notability. Tons of musician articles on Wikipedia include links to their music platforms—it’s standard practice to help readers access their work. The main argument for notability here still relies on the independent, reliable sources.
    5. Following WP Guidelines with References: I’ve made sure to use references that follow Wikipedia’s guidelines. But it feels like they’re being dismissed, even though they meet WP’s standards. To show the inconsistency, there are lots of Wikipedia articles with broken or outdated references that still stay up, like Mohsen Chavoshi’s page. I could list pages like this all day, yet this article is being picked apart for sources that actually work.
    6. Concerns about Paid Editing: I’m aware there are people who offer paid services to approve articles, which goes against WP’s principles. If the resistance here is because I didn’t pay someone, I’d rather the article be deleted than compromise Wikipedia’s integrity. But I’ve put in the work to follow WP’s guidelines and provide solid sources, and I just want this to be reviewed fairly and will be able to try to find another reference in case if the feadback be fair. In short, I’ve followed Wikipedia’s rules by providing reliable sources that show notability. While they may not fit one rigid definition of notability, they definitely meet WP’s flexible standards, especially for culturally relevant figures. I’d really appreciate it if my previous responses could be reviewed before the same issues keep coming up.
    Thanks, and I hope we can come to a fair decision here. Lanak20 (talk) 21:12, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
You are repeating yourself, thank you for the input but repeating it again and again isn't helping. We're able to evaluate the sources and come to a fair decision with regards to notability. This isn't a quick YES or NO, but we review all sources against guidelines here. Oaktree b (talk) 15:43, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Simply releasing music isn't enough for notability. The acting "career" appears to be a demo tape and several small roles, which aren't notable. There seems to be nothing about the influencer or product designer as noted, implying these aren't notable. We've yet to prove this is more than an individual with a good marketing team. Oaktree b (talk) 15:40, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
    Alright, I understand where you're coming from, but there’s still some misunderstanding about the significance of Ario’s work and the guidelines around notability. Let’s break it down.
    1. Notability Beyond Just "Releasing Music": Yes, simply releasing music isn’t enough on its own, but that’s not the only factor here. We have multiple independent sources that discuss Ario’s impact in his field—this isn’t just about “releasing music.” Publications like National Diversity Awards and BBC Persian don’t cover everyone; they choose to feature people making a unique impact. This aligns with Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines (WP), which don’t require an artist to have charted singles or awards if there’s other significant coverage.
    2. Acting Career: Ario’s acting career goes beyond “demo tapes” and small roles. He’s participated in multiple verified productions, and his acting has received independent coverage. Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for actors state that an actor can be considered notable if they've participated in productions or performances that have received media attention, even if they’re not lead roles in blockbuster movies. It’s not just about playing a leading part; it’s about building a portfolio and being recognized within the industry, which Ario has done. Independent coverage discussing his involvement in these projects supports his notability as an emerging actor.
    3. Influencer & Product Designer: I understand that his work as an influencer and designer may seem unconventional in terms of traditional “celebrity” roles. However, these aspects are part of his public persona and career, with coverage that explores his influence and contributions. For example, his work on immersive concert experiences is notable as a unique innovation, which aligns with notability standards if covered by reliable sources. The guidelines support recognition of multi-faceted careers that involve creative influence, especially when such roles are supported by independent sources that verify their impact.
    4. Good Marketing Team: I understand the concern about this being “good marketing,” but the coverage here isn’t promotional content—it’s independent reporting from reputable sources. The National Diversity Awards and BBC Persian don’t cover everyone; they feature people making a significant, recognized impact. This isn’t just about publicity; it’s about being recognized by third-party sources. Ario's notability fits within Wikipedia’s guidelines for emerging figures whose work and influence are acknowledged by independent sources.
    5. Consistency in Applying Guidelines: I’ve genuinely made an effort to follow Wikipedia’s guidelines, with reliable sources that provide real coverage—not promotional links. It feels inconsistent to dismiss these achievements when Wikipedia has plenty of articles on individuals with fewer sources or less independent coverage. Let’s make sure we’re applying notability guidelines equally across all entries.
    Finally, I want to emphasize that Wikipedia is based on objective standards and guidelines, not on individual opinions or assumptions. You can’t disregard or downplay someone's notability just because it doesn’t align with your personal perspective. I’ve provided sources that meet Wikipedia’s standards, and instead of relying on subjective judgments, I’d ask that we evaluate this entry according to Wikipedia’s actual guidelines.
    If there's still disagreement, let's address it with clear references to the guidelines, not personal viewpoints. We should avoid making assumptions about intent or credibility based on preference, and instead, keep the focus on Wikipedia's principles of neutrality and verifiability rather than personal assumptions and opinions. 212.132.245.64 (talk) 17:45, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
    And finally, you still haven’t answered my question: Have you scrutinized the countless other Wikipedia articles with broken reference links, like the one for Mohsen Chavoshi and many many more? Would you like me to provide endless examples of articles with references that can’t even be opened? How did those articles get approved? Did they pay Wikipedia editors? that's why?
    Is my article, which follows Wikipedia’s guidelines with reliable, verifiable references, getting unfairly dismissed because I haven’t paid anyone? It feels like I’m facing subjective opinions here rather than an objective review based on Wikipedia’s own standards for notability and would love to speak to somone who is incharge above people with personal unfair judgments feadback which even don't know about wikipedia guidliness. 212.132.245.64 (talk) 17:52, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
    Lanak20, please do not edit logged out of your account. And, as far as I can see, you've posted the same lengthy comments 4 times in this discussion. It would be wise for another participant to "hat" your remarks as they have gotten repetitive and looks like they've been generated using AI tools.
And please stop with the aspersions of paid editing, 99.99% of editors on Wikipedia are volunteers (and the paid editors are self-identified) so you are making unfair accusations against the community by accusing them of bias through paid editing. Please stop stating this and, in general, I think you have put forth your argument multiple times so you don't need to participate here any longer unless it is to address a question asked of you. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 05:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Please don't ask me to not respond when you are giving incorrect feedback directly to my article.
Let’s be clear: I’m not accusing all editors of paid bias, but when I see countless articles with broken links and questionable notability stay up while mine is under relentless scrutiny, it raises valid questions. Mentioning the offers I've received for paid publishing isn’t an “aspersions” tactic—it’s a reality check on the inconsistencies here.
If my comments are repeated, it’s because critical points are being ignored. I expect this process to follow Wikipedia’s guidelines, not personal biases. If my article meets Wikipedia’s notability standards, it should be treated fairly and not dismissed based on opinions.
The first editor’s main question was, "Can you provide links to three sources that discuss him in detail?" I provided three, with the first two being strong by any guideline standard. If the third source (BBC News) is the issue here, I’m willing to replace it with another that meets the criteria. However, there’s no reason not to accept the first two, as they clearly follow Wikipedia’s guidelines.
And still, none of you have addressed my question about broken links in approved articles, like Mohsen Chavoshi. Another example is Benyamin Bahadori which only has five references, four of which are irrelevant to the content, with just one barely covering the subject. If those articles are approved with weak sources, why is mine, with multiple valid references, getting unfairly judged?
How many more do you want me to lind up for you?
It seems the “99.99% of editors” are doing quite a selective job if articles with broken, irrelevant, or minimal references can pass while valid, guideline-compliant sources for mine are dismissed for some reason which is not paid to get published apparently. Lanak20 (talk) 12:21, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Lanak20, there are close to 7 million articles on Wikipedia. We don't have a system of regularly evaluating all of them. We evaluate articles that have been nominated for deletion through one of our deletion processes (CSD, PROD and AFD/RFD/CFD/etc.). If you see articles that you don't believe are in line with Wikipedia's standards for notability and sourcing, feel free to nominate them yourself for a deletion discussion. It's up to editors to take care of this but, like I said, we are all volunteers and we work as much or as little as an editor wants and contributes to the areas they want to contribute to. This is no one's "job" where we have to meet a job description's expectations. And if anyone has offered to help you in exchange for money, it's a well-known scam where the person takes your money and either does nothing or does a terrible job. Delete those requests that come your way or forward them to WMF. Liz Read! Talk! 00:15, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for clarifying, but let’s set some things straight. I’m fully aware Wikipedia runs on volunteer contributions, and I have great respect for the countless hours invested by the community. But this does not change the fact that when an article is nominated for deletion, it’s fair to expect decisions based on Wikipedia’s guidelines, not selective judgment or dismissal of legitimate sources—especially when those sources align with notability criteria.
You mentioned the system isn’t designed to continually assess existing articles, yet the same notability standards should apply universally to those currently in consideration. It raises valid concerns when comparable articles with weaker sourcing are accepted, while mine, with detailed third-party recognition, is repeatedly undermined.
Regarding paid offers, I'm well aware of scams, and I’m not naïve enough to pay for services that violate Wikipedia’s ethics. However, pointing out this reality is not an "aspersions" tactic but a legitimate concern. My request is simple: hold this article to the same standards consistently applied to others, and evaluate it fairly, based on content and verifiable sources—not assumptions, nor speculation about the individual or their work. Lanak20 (talk) 10:58, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete Quite simply fails WP:GNG and WP:NSINGER. Theroadislong (talk) 08:40, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
    This article meets both WP and WP notability guidelines.
    1. Independent Coverage: The article includes multiple independent sources that provide detailed coverage of Ario Nahavandi’s work, not just brief mentions, meeting WP . For instance, National Diversity Awards and Moscow Tonight offer in-depth perspectives on his achievements.
    2. NSINGER Compliance: WP allows for notability even without charted singles, provided there is significant media coverage. These sources fulfill this requirement by highlighting his impact in the arts.
    This aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines, and I ask that the assessment be reconsidered based on these points. Lanak20 (talk) 12:23, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
