EP has zero coverage found in a WP:BEFORE. As for the citations present, 2 are database sites (no notability inherited from them), and the third is basically a press release announcing the release. Other language pages do not have any citations other than databases either.

I had previously redirected the page, but it was reverted. Reason give for the reversal was "This is a release by a major artist and therefore notable. Changing it to a redirect broke a bunch of links includlng the Beck chronology." We know that notability isn't inherited, so it doesn't matter how famous Beck is, if this release cannot stand on its own then it does not need to exist and can be mentioned in the Beck article. As for the reason that redirecting it "broke links", that is not a reason for keeping an article. Links can be fixed. DonaldD23 talk to me 22:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

I am nominating this article for deletion under wikipedia's notability guidelines.

This article appears to be a PR piece commissioned by the author themselves, or their literary agency. Just a few hours after the first edit, the author made an edit, followed by a long series of edits by the single originating account. The article included some awards which the author paid in order to receive. Anapophenic (talk) 21:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

    WP:BASIC states- "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." — So far not a single source has been provided that offers significant coverage to the subject and doesn't fall under WP:NEWSORGINDIA, which raises concerns as to whether the supposed coverage is even independent. Articles are not considered notable only because they have existed for some time on Wikipedia. Your last sentence is a serious aspersion without any basis. - Ratnahastin (talk) 06:08, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources India.com, Business Standard, DD, DNA India, Business TodayFugoja (talk) 20:52, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
    These are very poor sources for establishing notability, as all of them are Indian news organisations, which are known to release paid articles without any disclosure, as outlined in WP:NEWSORGINDIA.
    Your first source is sourced to india.com which is written in a promotional language. Same thing with the second source, your third source is only a DD footage of his speech at Uttrakhand GIS 2023, your fourth source also appears to be a paid article given the promotional tone, and your fifth source is only a transcript of the speech he made at GIS 2023. - Ratnahastin (talk) 02:36, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Close as No Consensus. I think its time to close this as WP:NOCONSENSUS. The problem with the whole WP:NEWSORGINDIA argument is one is never sure whether the coverage is paid or independent, and it essentially means that anybody living India who draws national but not international news coverage might become the target of such an AFD. To my mind, this kind of reasoning is a shot in the dark because it could be legit, and it might not be. What is certainly does is reinforce WP:SYSTEMICBIAS against article on Indian people which is problematic. With people on both sides of the issue, and with no definite proof that the coverage isn't independent I'm not seeing a strong consensus to delete at this time.4meter4 (talk) 02:02, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:N. There isn't one source that has significantly provided coverage to this person. The sources only give him little importance because they are discussing Gautam Adani. CharlesWain (talk) 03:36, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete undoubtedly fails WP:GNG. Not opposed to creating a redirect. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 04:23, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete. As relative of a notable Gautam Adani does not make the subject notable. WP:INHERITED. Not opposed to Redirect. RangersRus (talk) 13:08, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
  • 'Weak Keep as per the following three reliable references; South China Morning Post, Financial Express, and Business Standard. If there are more such citations, the page could meet the criteria outlined in the Heymann Standard. However, we should keep in mind that WP:THREE and WP:HEY are essays, not an established guidelines. Charlie (talk) 13:26, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
    @CharlieMehta: South China Morning Post source is discussing Gautam Adani and only giving short coverage to Pranav Adani based on his familial relationship and the benefits that come with it (positions in his companies). The Business Standard is an Indian news organisation and the source is written in promotional tone, it also says "Pranav Adani, Managing Director, Agro and Oil & Gas, Adani Group" at the very bottom of the page which is very unusual and the Financial Express source only has a generic byline and same promotional tone, therefore both would fall under WP:NEWSORGINDIA as likely sponsored articles. - Ratnahastin (talk) 04:14, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep In terms of notability, the subject passes WP:GNG as there is significant coverage Bloomberg, DNA, India.com. Regarding the concern about promotional sources, Indian media employs such a style to attract readers to drive traffic, which can sometimes come across as promotional. The subject has the potential for improvement rather than deletion. Tedamime (talk) 19:00, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
    Except for Bloomberg report (which concerns Adani's slum rehabilitation program), all three of the sources have been addressed above. If you think Indian media does not engage in undisclosed paid releases, then you should get such a consensus on RSN. - Ratnahastin (talk) 19:12, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete completely fails WP:N. Sources do not discuss his biography. The above hand-waves about notability are dubious. ArvindPalaskar (talk) 11:27, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep:- There is no definitive proof that the coverage is not independent. Unless clear evidence is provided to discredit the sources as unreliable or paid. The article appears to meet WP:BASIC, as it has received significant coverage in multiple sources. Not found any strong consensus for deletion. Avishek Pilot (talk) 19:19, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
    WP:NEWSORGINDIA is very clear on what to consider when assuming an article to be a sponsored content. "Look at the tone and language of the article, its placement in the publication, use of generic bylines not identifying an individual reporter or reviewer, overlap in language with articles found in other publications and on other websites, and others" Almost all the presented sources have one or all of the aforementioned issues. This is also the first AFD you have participated in, like many of the "keep" votes above, I wonder what's going on.- Ratnahastin (talk) 00:55, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Note to closer - Adani family is known for its bad history with Wikipedia Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2023-02-20/Disinformation report which involved socking and paid editing spanning a decade, even this article has a shady history. This AFD is also seeing a wave of new users that have never participated in deletion nominations before, coming here to vote "keep". See also Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/B-Factor Please take this into consideration when closing. Thanks. - Ratnahastin (talk) 02:54, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep According to an old saying, for every successful person, there are a number of people who hate them for no reason. The same is true in this case with the Adani family. Without a question, Adani Group is the most famous business group in India and the world. The nominator also nominates this 2nd time: Adani EnterprisesLet's come back to Pranav Adani, He is one of the notable businessman of Adani Family, passes WP:GNG. Having presence on notorious resources passes WP:SIGCOV. Bakhtar40 (talk) 06:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

As discussed on WP:NEWSORGINDIA, there is no indication of sponsored content, such as supplements, published by these media outlets. Additionally, there is no evidence of Brand Wire, Press Release News, Business Spotlight, Brand Post, or Impact Feature. It remains unclear why the nominator continues to consider the content as paid. Avishek Pilot (talk) 10:54, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

I already addressed this. - Ratnahastin (talk) 11:10, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
Personal opinions alone may not serve as a valid basis for arguments. The entire summary of the AFD seems to rely on personal thoughts without supporting or verifiable evidence to substantiate the concerns raised. Some comments made during the discussion seem aimed at challenging opposing point. As this is a collaborative discussion, it’s important to consider all perspectives and await the final decision. Avishek Pilot (talk) 11:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
This does not address what I wrote there. - Ratnahastin (talk) 11:33, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete - Per source analysis provided by the nominator, the subject appears to have only received coverage in paid advertorials while reliable and independent sources only offer rudimentary coverage, that too for being Adani's nephew. Nxcrypto Message 14:36, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep Many sources are available, and as per WP:BASIC, established WP:GNG. Please see the coverage the rediff.com here, Indian Express here, Livemint here, Navbharat Times here. The arguments on WP:NEWSORGINDIA seem to center around the confusion of whether the content is paid or not. However, as per WP:NEWSORGINDIA, there is no indication of paid coverage, only a writing style often used in Indian media. Historically, Indian media uses a promotional tone to attract readers, this does not necessarily indicate paid coverage. If this standard were applied broadly, no Indian article would remain on Wikipedia, as the common issue would always be a promotional tone without evidence of paid coverage. Deleting an article based on such a premise does not align with WP:PURPOSE. Kevarove (talk) 18:14, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
    That rediff source is literally the same article & authored by the same guy as the Business Standard article that has been already addressed above. Indian Express & Livemint are merely routine news coverage about him investing in Uttar Pradesh and being named as a director of an Adani subsidiary. Navbharat article is an unreliable promotional puff piece. None of these sources address any of the concerns raised prior or fall out of the purview of WP:NEWSORGINDIA. - Ratnahastin (talk) 02:54, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete The source analysis is persuasive, far more so than any of the Keep analyses. Edwardx (talk) 19:07, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep- The source analysis by the nominator appears to be based on personal interpretations, as reflected in comments like 'promotional tone,' 'promotional press release,' 'probably the transcript,' 'Indian outlet,' and 'promotional puff piece.' These points lacking in dependability. Additionally, as WP:NEWSORGINDIA is under question. The subject is a well-known business entity, recognized in India and globally. The analysis by Kevarove Pass WP:SIGCOV. Wyzoqaku (talk) 20:13, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
    The words I have used are already used at WP:NEWSORGINDIA, there's no personal interpretation here. Your post is only reiterating comments by prior votes. - Ratnahastin (talk) 03:10, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete per nominator's source analysis and the absence of policy- or source-based keep !votes. I also disagree with the "no consensus" argument above. The history of socking/UPE here is very concerning.

The source analysis by Ratnahastin has not made a significant change in consensus, and opinions remain fairly evenly divided (not that it's a vote). It's time to close this as no consensus.4meter4 (talk) 15:38, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Given the CU's comment It seems improbable that half a dozen unrelated good-faith actors would show up to an AfD with a history of UPE while hopping across proxies.

Thanks for filing that, Ratnahastin. 4meter4, I disagree. The !votes to keep have been entirely free of sourcing or policy-based arguments. And while I agree with your point about systemic bias to some extent, we won't improve the Indian media landscape with an AfD, and a member of the Adani family is the last person I'd consider oppressed by systemic bias. Toadspike [Talk] 17:08, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

A non-notable businessperson fails WP:GNG, WP:NBIO; contested draftification returned to mainspace with no improvements. The sources are all WP:PRIMARYSOURCE Q&A interviews ([15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20]; routine news in WP:TRADES publications ([21]); non-independent affiliated sources/official bios ([22], [23], [24], [25]); and WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs ([26], [27], [28]). A non-bylined piece in WP:FORBES is not considered reliable. There is also a WP:FOXNEWS profile that reads like churnalism (it is almost entirely based on comments she posted on Facebook). Both Forbes and Fox are of questionable reliability per WP:RSP. Meanwhile, in my WP:BEFORE search I looked for evidence that her book Dreaming Green had been reviewed, but I only found one independent reliable source review and thus she does not qualify under WP:NAUTHOR. Finally, the article claims she is an Emmy and Peabody winner, but the sources for this claim are all affiliated with her (usually her official bio provided with speaking engagements and press releases). The Emmy site does not list her in its list of winners and nominees. (It appears that she may have won a NY Regional Emmy as part of a larger news team, which is generally not considered the kind of "major award" to qualify one under WP:ANYBIO.)

  • @4meter4: There are no businesses here aside from any random home businesses. This is a small residential subdivision within another populated place that is the CDP of Braddock, Virginia. If that doesn't indicate that lack of notability of this place, per WP:GEOLAND, residential subdivisions could be considered notable on a case-by-case basis, given non-trivial coverage by their name in multiple, independent reliable sources, but there are no independent reliable sources covering this topic that I could find, which would prove the notability of this development.

Article about a never-released (or at least never verifiably released) film, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NFILM. As always, films are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass certain specific notability criteria (awards, box-office success, third-party attention paid to them by journalists and film critics in the media) that generally require the film to have been released and seen by the general public.
But one of the two footnotes here is a short blurb in a book which confirms that this was never released, and the other is an even shorter blurb in the student newspaper of the university where parts of this film were apparently shot (and where this film's director was an alumnus) -- so one of the sources isn't fully independent of the film for the purposes of counting as WP:GNG-worthy independent third-party coverage, and the other one isn't substantive enough to confer passage of GNG by itself if it's the only independent third-party sourcing this film has.
As I don't have access to archives of Australian media coverage from the 1980s, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with such access can find better coverage to salvage the article with, but simple existence isn't "inherently" notable enough to exempt an unreleased film from having to have more than just two short blurbs of coverage.

    The school is not inherent of notability because it was established early per WP:ORGSIG. The school is not inheritable of notability because it has notable alumni per WP:INHERITORG. A source about reunion celebration did not provide in-depth coverage on the school itself. A source featured interviews of alumni is irrelevant to the Smart School project.

Clearly, it fails to meet the criteria outlined in WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Simply being a member of a notable person's family does not automatically make an individual notable for inclusion on Wikipedia. Also, A draft article about the subject already exists, which has been rejected multiple times by reviewers. However, the creator bypassed the process by changing the name and directly creating the article in the mainspace. Baqi:) (talk) 15:01, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Redirect to Tornado records and make into a category per above. Obviously notable and 100 is a healthy threshold for these tornadoes, having a way to access a list of these is well within the realm of Wikipedia, but as a list it isn't the greatest fit. To avoid needing to do a refund, the following tornadoes here do not have articles:
  • Manikganj, Singair and Nawabganj, Bangladesh (1973), 681 deaths
  • 1969 East Pakistan tornado, 660 deaths (this is one I'm most likely to create!)
  • Magura and Narail Districts, Bangladesh (1964), 500 deaths
  • Madaripur and Shibchar, Bangladesh (1977), 500 deaths
  • North of Cooch Behar and surrounding areas, India / Bangladesh (1963), 300 deaths
  • Bhakua and Haripur unions, Bangladesh (1972), 300 deaths
  • Comilla, Bangladesh (1969), 263 deaths
  • Border of Orissa and West Bengal, India (1998), 250 deaths
  • Calcutta, India (1838), 250 deaths
  • Faridpur and Dhaka Districts, Bangladesh (1961), 210 deaths
  • 14 miles southwest of Mymensingh, Bangladesh (1972), 200 deaths
  • Faridpur District, Bangladesh (1951), 200 deaths
  • Baliakandi, Bangladesh (1973), 200 deaths
  • Parshuram, Fulgazi, Somarpur, and Sonagazi, Bangladesh (1981), 200 deaths
  • Jaipur and Keonjhar Districts, India (1978), 173 deaths
  • Guntur and Chirala, India (1936), 162 deaths
  • Kandi, India (1993), 145 deaths
  • Naria, Zajira and Bhederganj, Bangladesh (1908), 141 deaths
  • Karimpur, India (1978), 128 deaths
  • Kapundi, Erandi, Dhanbeni and Rengalbeda, Bangladesh (1981), 120 deaths
  • Borni, Bangladesh (1986), 120 deaths
  • Dhaka, Bangladesh (1908), 118 deaths
  • Mokshedpur, Bhanga and Tungipara, Bangladesh (1977), 111 deaths
  • 11 miles West of Bogra, Bangladesh (1974), 100 deaths
Maybe these would go into a List of Bangladesh tornadoes / List of Indian tornadoes article. I'll get an HTML of this article today to save their sources from being lost to deleted-article space. Departure– (talk) 14:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

    The reliable sources covered about basic information on gender, name change and national exam grades of some years. These are enough to provide in-depth coverage and to establish notability.
    The curriculum section sources are irrelevant. One of it mentioned the school just because of a student personal comment on an competition event, and it is just among comments from others. Schools do not inherit individual achievement or it would be promotional. Another source was also a passing mention on the school where three entrepreneurs were from the same school.

Can we either simply delete this article, or remove and revdel all references to the accused (and delete all mentions of his name elsewhere). This is a 9-year-old who wasn't even convicted, it fails WP:SUSPECT (and WP:BLP1E), and shouldn't be named and shamed even if the article itself isn't named after him.

There are some academic criminology sources discussing this, focusing on how young the perpetrator was, which indicates to me that this probably warrants an article... someday. From looking at it the case was never dropped it just got caught up in what I expect is the extremely complicated circumstances involved in prosecuting a 9 year old for mass murder. If/when he does get convicted and if there is then later coverage that is in depth and retrospective I would not be opposed to recreating it. As is this may be too hard to write at the moment.

Fails the general notability criteria and the SNG for creatives as they are an upcoming comedian. In a search for more sources, this source from The Sun and this source from Nigerian Tribune seems promising but the lack of byline shows that they are sponsored posts. Other sources are passing mentions or are interviews. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 09:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Reading Beans Easy over there, Are you sure you did [[WP:BEFORE]] before nominating this article for deletion? My research is suggesting otherwise.

  • Keep. Meets WP:GNG easily in a WP:BEFORE. The text is a copy paste of a US Gov. document that is in the public domain, and the text is therefore allowed to be copy pasted and distributed on Wikipedia. Attribution would be a simple matter of adding the website as a source. More importantly X-ray nanoprobes are covered thoroughly in sources in google books and google scholar and in science journals accessible through the Wikipedia Library. I really can’t see the value of deleting this. Ideally a motivated editor will come along and rewrite it so it doesn’t mirror the US Gov document so closely and has more cited references. However the current article is better than no article. The issues in the article can be solved through normal editing.4meter4 (talk) 10:36, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • comment While legally one can copy the text into WP, the text is indeed promotional in tone and doesn't give a good justification for the thing's inclusion. It needs other citations, and it needs a rewrite, and all that's assuming it gets kept. At the minimum it needs a citation for its actual source. Mangoe (talk) 11:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment, totally agree with Mangoe. We're supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a content mirror. That means summarising sources, plural (and pointing our readers at those sources) so that we add value. If all we're going to do is mirror without attribution, we're doing a worse job than a simple Google search, because at least Google doesn't obfuscate the source of what it's showing you.

List has no clear criteria for inclusion. And if we were to include every saint from the four Churches mentioned in the table, then it would be far too long. I've created a new article (Lists of saints) which should serve as a directory for lists of saints, so I believe List of Saints should become a redirect to that. ―Howard • 🌽33 15:15, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

If this does get deleted, can we not delete the history and just put the new one over it/histmerge? I would rather not delete a 23 year article history if it can be avoided. Or redirect is fine too just keep the history. No opinion on the proposal itself. PARAKANYAA (talk) 15:22, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
why does the history matter? ―Howard • 🌽33 15:33, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
With pages this old and with this many sub pages, there's an extremely high likelihood this has been content split to some of the other saint lists at some point, so it would need to be kept historically for attribution reasons.

Here we have something of a puzzle. Baker describes it as a post office; google searches produce a railroad liability case from the 1910s in which a girl boards a train here, though the earliest topo I could find, from 1963, shows no trace of a rail line. Another hit is for a grain elevator, and that is still there, or some similar business. But that's it, except for a single house next to the facility. It's very rare for a rail line to evaporate that entirely, so I'm not utterly convinced that these hits all refer to the same place; but all in all I'd say there is a lack of evidence for a settlement here. A rail station seems the best fit. Mangoe (talk) 15:44, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Fails notability for standalone lists and WP:GNG. This article is a table of entries drawn from a single online database, one which isn't a reliable source itself (see Talk:DAD-IS § Evaluation concludes DAD-IS is generally unreliable for horse topics). Neither this article nor its associated article DAD-IS shows any sources which are independent of the subject, and certainly no significant coverage.

  • Delete: A list of things listed in the DAD-IS is, among other things, in constant need of review and updates. Further, the list merely states if a particular horse breed exists within a given nation, regardless of origin or suitability. For the United States, the list is particularly poor — a few years back it even confused slang terms, listing them as standardized breeds. While the DAD-IS itself may be useful to determine if a breed exists at all, particularly for rare breeds in the developing world, a detailed list here on WP is unneeded.

This article hardly addresses issues, and is apparent from the get go with the introductory paragraph rehashing info that can be found in many other articles on nudism such as Nudity, Naturism, and Nude recreation, etc.. The article on Nudity especially has multiple sections dedicated to issues, in regards to its legality, cultural acceptance, and child development. The terminology section is totally unnecessary for an article about the issues related to a concept as it does not address any terms related to issues, only the history of naturist related terms themselves. Diversity in nudist clubs is not relevant to its issues unless those issues are stated, discussed, and sourced, which they are not, and would be more appropriate on articles covering specific cultural attitudes towards nudity as shown in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudity#Cultural_differences. The other issues and legality sections are short and can be moved elsewhere, other articles about nudity and naturism have subsections covering particular countries where these tidbits may be more relevant.

    Comment. I poked around Talk:Naturism and apparently Issues in social nudity was intentionally spun off from Naturism in as part of an effort to reduce the size of that article.

    I saw this before- what I got from it at the time (in the 2000s, so a while ago) was this person made a whole bunch of nudity related articles (that were too specific or unnecessary and were deleted or merged into articles like naturism and nudity, and seemed to get into a lot of fights about them too...). I think the reason it exists was because of old beefs and (in my opinion) an apparent desire to be first when it comes to writing these articles. I got this mainly from the original author's talk page. Micahtchi (talk) 07:24, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Which, of course, means nothing. The article of Kaiser now has a reference of a book that calls him far-right, but again, only that, a label, without any specific racism, supremacism, or wrongdoing attributed to him. Calling someone "Far-right" seems to be becoming like Fascist (insult) nowadays. In fact, if we check that source, it says that Kaiser is far-right... in the middle of a grand conspiracy theory about how the far-right (the only kind of right-wing politics there seem to be) is out there to conquer the word, destroy the left, abolish democracy, and enslave the helpless working class.

Revisé varios cientos de entradas de Wikipedia referidas a la historia argentina, desde los casi ignotos guerreros de la independencia hasta conocidos personajes de la historia más reciente.

  • Delete or restore redirect to Union J. This had previously been merged. There are a couple of reviews in those sources, but the first source isn't bylined (and not a RS from the look of it); the Irish Independent is RS, SIGCOV; Oxford Mail local media not bylined; Mancunian Matters is hyper-local but has editorial oversight and is bylined; HitTheFloor is debatable, but a review nonetheless and there's an editor in place; Liverpool Echo is a WP:ROUTINE gig announcement from their sports editor (!); The Scotsman is a bylined review in an RS; the last two sources are an album review and a tour announcement in the Birmingham Mail. All in all, this is mostly routine, does have a couple decent gig reviews in RS but in the whole is not the stuff that amounts to making the TOUR notable.

Delete and redirect to 2004 Fallujah ambush, the redirect target for the other 3 victims of the ambush. Coverage of Helvenston is in relation to the ambush or subsequent events. Otherwise he was one of thousands of individuals killed during the Iraq War. His notability is due only to the ambush, therefore delete per WP:BIO1E. Longhornsg (talk) 06:12, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

The journalist/editorial staff written obituary in the Los Angeles Times makes it clear the subject was known for his appearances on television, and as a personal trainer to celebrities in addition to the 2004 Fallujah ambush. WP:BIO1E therefore does not apply as the subject was known for more than one thing. This is further supported by coverage of him in a scholarly book on the History of Reality TV] published by Random House.

  • Keep: I believe this event meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines:
  1. Significance: The incident involves a military aircraft, and any military engagements resulting in casualties often have broader implications for regional stability and/or international relations. This particular event is noteworthy given the ongoing issues Sudan is facing.
  2. Media Coverage: There has been significant media coverage of the incident, which explains what happened in the incident thoroughly. Reliable sources have reported on the details of the event. Some citations which I easily found are here, here, here, and here that discuss the incident in detail.
  3. Aviation Context: This incident is part of a bigger story about military planes that have accidents in war zones. Adding it to Wikipedia helps people understand the dangers and problems that military aircraft deal with. Also, I don't think heavy military aircraft, like the Il-76, involved in shoot-downs is ordinary. They do have significant information.

I ran across this trying to source unreferenced Missouri articles for the ongoing unreferenced articles drive. While the essay WP:NAIRPORT suggests that municipal general aviation airports are likely to be notable, that essay does not carry the weight of policy and I'm not finding any substantial coverage for this at all. This from MODOT looks substantive at first, but actually only 4 sentences is about this airport and the rest is about general aviation in the state as a whole. Newspapers.com searching in Missouri for this airport turns up coverage of airports in Alabama and Memphis, but only a statement that a large crowd turned out for a BBQ pork dinner about this airport and a second brief statement announcing a fly-in at the airport in 1961. I know these municipal airports are usually notable, but I don't see a WP:GNG pass here due to the only coverage a fairly thorough WP:BEFORE is bringing up that isn't registration-type listings are the four sentences from MODOT and the two one-sentence passing mentions. The NAIRPORT essay does not carry the weight of policy. Hog Farm Talk 05:40, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Shelby County as an ATD.

  • Redirect to List of airports in Missouri, which is a much better target than the county itself.

  • Redirect per Sportingflyer and Alexandermcnabb. I agree that List of airports in Missouri currently appears to be the best target that allows us to get the most information to the reader. I suppose there's a non-zero chance this may prove to be notable, but I'm also not convinced it warrants a stand-alone page when we have a fully functioning list we can add the information to. If a future editor does end up expanding the articles on Shelbyville, Missouri or Shelby County, Missouri and finds that they have enough for more than two sentences on the airport, then I have no objection to changing the redirect target. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 22:23, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Shelby County Shelbyville, Missouri per previous comments. While WP:NAIRPORT says that municipal airports are "likely" to be notable, WP:NBUILD is a better policy to follow in my estimation, and this airport is not mentioned in secondary sources aside from cursory and WP:ROTM mentions in aviation databases and local news. For what it's worth, I've been AFDing and PRODing obscure Texas airports on an on-off-but-mostly-off basis, and it doesn't take much to establish notability—features in aviation magazines or local news stories that focus on the airport will do it—but this airport doesn't seem to reach even this low bar. Carguychris (talk) 22:44, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
    • Carguychris - I tend to think that this would be better handled at the article for whatever governmental entity operates the airport.

  • Keep per WP:5P1. Wikipedia is a gazetteer and airports are included as a matter of course in gazetteers. Fundamentally, not covering this goes against the spirit of our founding primary mission. Pillars trump all policies.4meter4 (talk) 02:48, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
    This is a very common fallacy. If we read WP:5p1 it tells us (altogether now), "Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers". That does NOT mean 'Wikipedia is a gazetteer'. WP:GAZ is an essay, as indeed is, WP:NOTGAZ. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:53, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
According to your opinion it’s a fallacy. I think your opinion is wrong, and that WP:5P1 is clear that we include content in gazetteers. Remember that Wikipedia’s goal is to record the sum total of human knowledge in one place for free. The idea was to make content found in all reference works available in one place but without the financial barriers and other access issues that often accompany those reference works. Sometimes going back to founding mission best clarifies content targets by making us think about the spirit of our policies which should guide us per WP:5P5.4meter4 (talk) 10:07, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
It's not my opinion - I laid it out for you, nice and clear in black and white. There it is - fact. I must confess, though, I didn't think that's what Wikipedia was for...

Nominating page for deletion for the following issues per WP:DP.

1. Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content

The article contains large amounts of puffery and reads like an advertisement. Majority of the article is a list of speakers at conventions, mentions of their books, and external bare urls to their blogs or other websites.

2. Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and hoaxes

The article does not list sources for claims of speakers at various conferences. Several existing sources are primary sources.
The article makes false and misleading claims, engages in original research with no sources, and presents their subjects in a promotional manner.
Example 1, stating that "James O'Keefe – journalist whose investigations have exposed corruption and malfeasance in major taxpayer-funded institutions, including ACORN, Planned Parenthood and NPR". James O'Keefe is a far-right activist that uses deceptively edited videos to attack mainstream media sources and progressive sources, and whose videos exposing corruption have been verifiably proven false, as in the case with the ACORN 2009 undercover videos controversy.
Example 2, stating "Ben Swann – Emmy Award-winning journalist" but not including any mention that he is a well-known, notable conspiracy theorist.
Example 3: stating "Stefan Molyneux – host of Freedomain Radio" but not mentioning how he is best known as a white nationalist.

3. Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed

I cannot find reliable, non-primary sources for the large majority of the claimed speakers at these conventions.

4. Articles with subjects that fail to meet the relevant notability guidelines (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP, and so forth)

Majority of the individuals listed fail notability requirements. BootsED (talk) 03:06, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

As it is no longer an accepted designation, a few sentences in an article for the subsequent theory should suffice.

  • Keep, easily meets GNG with its sources. Needs some editing, and I've done a bit (thanks Sandcat555 for bringing attention to the page), but not deletion. As for the notability, Harold Washington was one of Chicago's most beloved mayors, and the downtown Chicago Public Library is named after him in tribute and honor. It and this mural are two of Chicago's several major commemorative remembrances of Washington. The page also gives a well-written and now edited background of Washington's impact on Chicago and an interesting summary and focus on the artist, Jacob Lawrence. This one seems an easy keep, and I've tried to improve it towards that result. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:01, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
    Harold and his library namesake may be fantastic for all I know, but that changes nothing with this article. The majority of the page isn't about the mural at all, despite it being the title. Write a page about Washington, or merge this into something else, but keeping it as it is doesn't fix the problem. Sandcat555 (talk) 19:24, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep - Agree completely with Randy Kryn - the article does well in explaining both the background of the subject as well as the artist's creation of the mural. — Maile (talk) 15:08, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete/Merge The comments above do not appropriately address notability. It's rather absurd that more of the article merely summarizes the importance of Harold Washington rather than discusses the mural itself. This is a WP:REFBOMB – The only source for information about the mural is "Jacob Lawrence and the Making of Americans", used as cite 15 and 16. With that, it fails WP:GNG, as Washington being beloved and his background being well-written are utterly irrelevant. My search for sources only found brief mentions about the library's collections. Perhaps it can be merged to Harold Washington Library where it's located. I'm also surprised the article inaccurately states Lawrence painted the mural, when it's actually a tile mosaic. Reywas92Talk 16:16, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the ceramic tiles bit, painting on tiles is a recognized form of mosaic. I've added a city of Chicago governmental source about the mural (is that where you found it?) which includes its size, etc. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:34, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

"There Mohammad Hassan Khan occupied Tabriz". That is literally all this article says about this "battle". The cited source doesn't say anything more than that ("First Tabrīz fell then,). Doesn't seem notable. HistoryofIran (talk) 03:58, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete this is all very dubious, I must say. Yes, poorly sourced and yes, unverifiable and what's more blithering rot. Lorimer[1] tells us that the Omanis attacked Bahrain, under-defended by the Wahhabis, in 1811 together with the Utub. That's it. Of Qajars, there were none.

Subject is not notable; fails WP:GNG. I did a WP:BEFORE search, as well as searched through the Internet Archive book search and ProQuest, and found nothing but trivial mentions of her name, and her own works. The only thing I've found that could be considered "significant" coverage is the short bio page from Image (journal) that is already in the External links section [64] (And the same page live on the web [65]) However, according to that page, she published her poems in that publication, making that source not independent of the subject.

Delete. Can find absolutely nothing aside from the links you've put, and Amazon. Procyon117 (talk) 13:33, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Fails NEVENT. no WP:INDEPTH coverage. and IMO its, WP:TOOSOOON and WP:THEREISNORUSH

Given the substantial evidence refuting the alleged incident, I propose that we consider the Deletion of this article based on several Wikipedia guidelines:
1. Verifiability: The claims made in the article are contradicted by official reports and statements from recognized authorities such as the FIA and CM Punjab, as reported by Dawn News https://www.dawn.com/news/1865944 and The Nation https://www.nation.com.pk/17-Oct-2024/cm-maryam-clears-mist-on-fake-student-rape-allegations, questioning the verifiability of the current content.
2. BLP: The article's content could potentially harm the reputations of living persons based on unverified and disputed claims, violating the BLP policy that demands rigorous standards for sourcing in contentious cases.
3. NPOV: The article may fail to maintain a neutral point of view, as it presents disputed claims without sufficient context from authoritative sources that challenge these claims.
4. Notability: The ongoing disputes and contradictions regarding the facts suggest that the incident may not meet the general notability guideline, which requires significant coverage by reliable sources.
These concerns collectively suggest that the article may not meet Wikipedia's content standards and could merit deletion or significant revision. I recommend opening a discussion for deletion to carefully consider these issues within the community, Furthermore, Wikipedia is not a newscast of information, much less false or speculation.

  • Delete - WP:NEWSEVENT An alleged rape that didn't happen. Or did it? The perpetrator was the school security guard. Or he wasn't. Protests and alleged police brute force and rubber bullets, tear gas, etc. There was an investigation, with mixed findings. The family of the alleged victim said her injuries were actually from a fall at home. — Maile (talk) 03:28, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete – The article does not meet Wikipedia's notability, verifiability, and neutrality standards. The allegations have been refuted by reliable sources. Additionally, it risks violating the BLP policy by presenting unverified claims about living individuals. Ainty Painty (talk) 12:56, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment. As an editor who has been keeping their eyes on this one for a while, this is a more complicated subject than it would first appear. Firstly, even if the event is not notable, I would claim that the response was- protesting, activism, and unrest, which received a lot of coverage internationally. Secondly, I would claim that there is a really significant possibility here of people with significant political power and interest in keeping Punjab College's name clean influencing people to give a certain outcome- notice that although the father of the victim has spoken and said it was an accident, the victim herself has not, and consider power dynamics in Pakistan between men and women. Also consider that the security footage has been deleted as per major sources, and that the system in Pakistan may have a significant risk of people in positions of power being able to use their influence in such a way. I am not accusing anyone of anything here, it is just a comment. I would also suggest that a lot of edits on the page have been done by Pakistani IP addresses with very standard ChatGPT-esque comments and attempts to delete- I was interested to see that somebody finally found the correct place to nominate the article for deletion. I think this is all worth bearing in mind when coming to a conclusion on this article. However, the counter argument is that Wikipedia is not a place for primary research, and we are not here to interpret the sources as much as we are to summarise them. As it is, the secondary sources have dismissed the allegations and this is a bit of a null story which deletion would not be an undue response to. I hope I have provided some context and I am being balanced to both sides of this discussion.Spiralwidget (talk) 15:27, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete Very much on WP:BLPCRIME concerns and a wholly unclear narrative; either we have it right and proper or we don't at all, especially considering the current issues regarding WMF. Nate • (chatter) 17:17, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete Alleged mean not verified. Its hoax.--Gul Butt (talk) 18:35, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete while I can appreciate Spiralwidget's thoughtful perspective, I think in this case WP:BLPCRIME issues and conflicting sourcing issues as relates to WP:Verifiability make it impossible for us to have an article at this time.4meter4 (talk) 19:26, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Driver fails WP:NMOTORSPORT, having mainly contested low-level domestic championships (state Formula Ford, hillclimbing, national Production Cars) and not achieved notable success in international/higher-level series (British FFord, AUSCAR). Whilst the article appears to be well sourced on the surface, most of the sources direct to a websites' home page rather than an article – a quick internet search for "Brendon Cook racing driver" also brings up routine database sites and Wikipedia, therefore a lack of SIGCOV. Furthermore, I have reason to believe that User:Bjcook, the article creator, is the subject of the article and therefore in violation of WP:COI. MSportWiki (talk) 21:59, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

It looks like you haven't read the whole article. You will see a search on "Brendon Cook racing driver" is pretty useless. In the references from other editors, you will see he has gone by the name of BJ Cook, Brendon & Brendan (I assume spelt incorrectly or reverts in spell check).
Looking at other interests, he played Rugby League internationals 1992 Pacific Cup and games in the New Zealand provincial rugby championship with Manawatu which included a game against the British & Irish Lions according the Its Rugby profile. He is also the son of a former NRL player.
In cricket he played one international game in the 2001 Pacifica Cup (date of birth the same in cricketarchive.com profile).
Perhaps the article needs a bit of re-wording to imply that his major achievements were not in motorsport. NigelPorter (talk) 00:10, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
Simply playing international rugby league and cricket matches for minnow teams doesn't meet notability requirements as there is no indication of success. Having kinship with a National Rugby League player is irrelevant as notability is not inherited. Combined with the lack of proper sourcing, it is a self-promotional piece at best. MSportWiki (talk) 00:45, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
In your personal opinion. No body else has raised this since the article came about in 2006. If you have a personal agenda to delete this I'm not going to change your mind. Just by your name MSportWiki you consider yourself the oracle for Motorsport here. So who is anyone to question you. NigelPorter (talk) 03:14, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
You're being very presumptive with statements such as "Just by your name MSportWiki you consider yourself the oracle for Motorsport here", which isn't useful to the discussion. Do you have a COI with this article? MSportWiki (talk) 06:18, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
I have no COI with the article. NigelPorter (talk) 05:22, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Let's focus on the article and its sourcing, not each other. The topic is whether or not we have sources that can establish this subject's notability. Liz Read! Talk! 05:52, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
I think he used to go by BJ Cook when he raced. He also entered cars in the Production Car Championship with other drivers in them. He ran the Revolution Racegear store in Sydney for ages. So entrenched in the motorsport scene. But does that mean you need a wiki page? Probably need to re-configure article if going to keep.Greg Nail (talk) 22:56, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete: fails notability guidelines, not to mention the WP:COI concerns of the author. Allan Nonymous (talk) 06:00, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Hoping comments from previously uninvolved editors will lead to a clearer result, and per Liz let's not personalize comments.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 00:28, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete: Low level wins or competitions in minor races, I don't see notability. The first chunk of sources is simply race results,the rest are rugby match results. We'd need stories about this person, which I don't see... I don't find any articles about this person either, I'm not showing notability for our purposes.
