PROD was declined last year. Non-notable location; only appearance in media is a trivial mention in a 1955 article about cattle breeding: [1]. Modern satellite view reveals a Camden Mobile Home Park and nearby gas station: [2], but that is insufficient for notability, as is the short-lived post office. Fails WP:GNG (which is the relevant standard for trailer parks) and WP:GEOLAND. Another effortless mass-created stub made in 2009 by the prolific Carlossuarez46.

- Delete - Per above, and frankly it's time we talked about a more extensive solution to the egregiously erroneous mass-creations of Carlossuarez46 and similar editors. After five years, the California clean-up is still ongoing with no real end in sight, Iran was fixed in part by mass-deleting a lot of C46's articles but that still leaves tens of thousands to go through, and we've barely even started on Azerbaijan or Sri Lanka.

seems to fail gng by... a lot. according to a previous afd, they might be notable, but the complete lack of sources, inappropriate external links (why myspace?), and the fact that results have become an unusable mush of miscellaneous companies, cryptobro jargon, pizzerias, and chex quest jokes lead me to believe that a tnt is due, and there's only a chance that it will get recreated consarn (formerly cogsan) 18:00, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

- Keep (first choice) or redirect to Stonehenge Free Festival#Bands (second choice). The band was formed in 1972 and split up in 1975. I found a Picador book, Gillett 2023 , that provides two pages of coverage about the band. That a book spent two pages covering a band that had disbanded 48 years ago strongly indicates the band is notable. The other sources I found were largely passing mentions. I am supporting retention on the basis of the extensive coverage in the book.
If the consensus is against a standalone article for the band, I support a redirect to Stonehenge Free Festival#Bands (where the band is mentioned) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternative to deletion. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow editors to selectively merge any content that can be reliably sourced to the target article. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow the redirect to be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future.

The band receives nearly two pages of coverage in the book. The book notes: "One early outlier in the gradual process of sonic expansion visible over the course of the 1980s was the first 'proper' Stonehenge festival in 1974, at which the only music on offer was electronic, performed by a group called Zorch. Billed as England's first all-synthesizer band, they played burbling arpeggios and meditative drones on a set of three EMS Synthi AKS synths deep into Saturday night, followed by a solo set from band member Basil Brookes on Sunday, ‘during which he completely freaked out a guy in the audience who thought he was conjuring up Dark Forces', according to one anonymous account of proceedings. Zorch's only LP, recorded in 1975, offers a loose and incomplete approximation of these live performances: on the 24-minute 'Return of the Elohim' triangle-wave pulses and discordant tones sweep across the stereo field, growing slowly in intensity, building to an almighty climax, then dissolving into ambient washes of soft pad sounds, submarine pings and muffled voices. What limited other evidence remains from Zorch's brief three-year existence between 1972 and 1975 suggests sonic connections between the earlier synth experiments of US groups like Tonto's Exploding Head Band and British synth-rock pioneers Gong, contemporary European synth auteurs like Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre, and the dreamier elements of UK rave sounds to follow—from later electronic-Traveller crossover bands like Eat Static or Ozric Tentacles to more prominent names in the UK house and techno pantheon. Much like Hawkwind, while Zorch's wigged-out repetition and the fantastical allusions of their song titles suggest the terminally unhip hinterlands of prog rock, a surprising amount of the sonic character of this free festival proto-rave has survived into later UK dance music. The unlicensed nature of events at Stonehenge is critical to this: with no legal curfew to adhere to and no one to tell them what to do, Zorch's synth meditations could run as long as six hours, accompanied by a mind-meltingly complex light and laser show dubbed the Acidica. Far closer in form and function to an all-night DJ set than a rock show, these performances arguably represent the very first illegal electronic music events in the UK, ..."

The article notes: "Over the coming days, a few hundred people arrived – many of them had walked from London - and a small festival took place some distance from the stones, the only music being provided by the pioneering UK electronic music band Zorch over a terrible PA system."

The book notes: "Basil Brooks, Zorch: "There was a little police Cortina parked in the road - that was the police presence! Innocent days." Not many people turned up for the first festival. Rimbaud describes it as a 'few hundred' whereas Andy Worthington (in his book Stonehenge: Celebration And Subversion) counts “about 500 people at the most". Musical entertainment came from a band Worthington describes as 'early synth pioneers' called Zorch that was in fact a synth duo the UK's first, allegedly—who were purported to have a mind blowing lightshow as well as a psychedelic-synth sound."

The magazine quotes from Zorch member Basil Brooks. The magazine notes: "Basil Brooks: I started out in school as Steve just said, with “psychedelic” music. That kindled my interest I suppose, in the first instance. I also have an Uncle who's a composer that's got a little electronic music studio, He got one of the first EMS machines. He showed me this machine and I was. stantly amazed by it and wanted to get to know more about it, Finally I took an evening course in synthesizers. About then the money came to buy an AKS and I went from there with two other guys who played EMS equipment, and formed a group. The synthesizer band I was in was called. "ZORCH" and was first formed in London in late 1973. We moved to the country in 1974 and were joined by two light synthesists who quickly became an equally important part of our live performance with their combinations of various projected images; something that I feel has yet to be explored to the fullest extent. We made three reco during our existence. The first was done live in the open air, the second using Revoxes and the third using the EMS Synthi 100 and multi-track facilities. Part of this last recording was used as the sound track for a film called “Mother Earth” which was made using “Spectre” the EMS video synthesizer ZORCH folded due to lack of funds and total commitment. However, the chances are it will reform sometime, probably for a free festival, these having been the high points of our performing history."

The book notes: "The first Free Festival at Stonehenge for certain was organized at the solstice in 1974 by a counter-culture figure who used the pseudonym Wally Hope. Fewer than 200 people came to listen to Zorch (no, I'd not heard of them either) and other bands."

The book notes: "The first Stonehenge Free Festival duly took place at the summer solstice in 1974, alongside a by-way just a few hundred yards to the west of the stones. Despite a leafleting campaign and promotion by Radio Caroline, it was a small gathering, numbering about 500 people at the most.

- KEEP, but merge with corrections — this article seems like a duplication of the already-existing Reo Nakamura (footballer, born 1990) and hence a merge into the existing article may be more appropriate, once the errors have been corrected. It seems like the author of the article has made a spelling error, instead of “Reo” (the correct first name) they have put “Ryo” as the name of the subject and (for some reason) changed their DoB from 1990 to 1989.
- The article's own source shows the name of the subject as “Reo”, not “Ryo” (as the author has put) and the correct DoB of the subject as 1990, not 1989 (as the author has put). The reason the others (CC: @GiantSnowman, @CommunityNotesContributor, @QEnigma) could not verify/find sources was because the author wrote the incorrect information on the Wikipedia article. The career statistics section, especially, I feel could be merged into the already existing article.

- @Geschichte: Of the seven sources, only the fifth one signals significant coverage on Nakamura as it tells about his personal life. However, one SIGCOV is not enough; the whole GNG needs multiple instead. Transfermarkt is obviously unnecessary to be added to Wikipedia articles as it is claimed unreliable. ⋆。˚꒰ঌ Clara A.

This article has barely any citations and is rich in detail that I don't believe can be substantiated by secondary sources. Additionally, the product has been defunct for nearly 20 years and doesn't seem to have left a lasting cultural footprint. I would recommend deleting with a redirect to the Dell Technologies article.

Contested draftification of an article on a non-notable actor. There is no reliable source for the WP:OR claim that she was the oldest-ever actor who had appeared in Doctor Who (not that that is even a claim to notability). The source for this claim appears to be a Doctor Who wiki. She fails WP:NACTOR as her handful of roles appear to be minor parts, and they are sourced to IMDb, an unreliable source. She fails WP:GNG/WP:NBIO for lack of coverage in independent, reliable sources. There are a couple of articles in a hyper-local village newsletter ([21], [22]), another WP:SPS ([23]), and a self-published as-told-to quasi-autobiography. As for WP:ANYBIO #1, I looked into her Fellowship in the Royal Society of Arts, but it's not a rare honor (there are 31,000 active Fellows) and can be acquired by online application and payment of a fee.

@Dclemens1971: Hello. I understand. However, what I do not understand is how some articles such as this one are accepted but not others. This seems like discrimination. There are people as notable as Peggy Batchelor or less notable than her who have pages. Please explain. Spectritus (talk) 15:04, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- It's not discrimination in any way. It's about independent, secondary, reliable sources. IMDB isn't a reliable source. Wendover News is not likely an independent source. Peggy Batchelor's as-told-to, self-published autobiography is not a reliable, independent, or secondary sources. Pointing to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS doesn't make Batchelor any more notable. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:13, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Dclemens1971: Doesn't the fact someone wrote a book about her make her notable enough? Also, may I ask how users are supposed to find sources if Wikipedia condemns almost all of them?
- The author wrote a book "as told to" her, which means it's basically Peggy Batchelor talking about herself, and thus not independent. And the biography was published by AuthorHouse, which is a vanity press and thus it's a WP:SELFPUBLISHED source and not reliable. English Wikipedia does not condemn

- Delete She was featured in only 1-2 episodes of each TV show she was in and played relatively minor roles in films. The article itself seems to be fixated on the (likely original research) trivia of her having once been the oldest person who had been a cast member of Doctor Who, which as we discussed in this AfD, isn't particularly relevant or notable. Waddles 🗩 🖉 01:19, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Note I agree this would be better in draft space. She also had a stage career, which has not been included in the article yet. I am sourcing and adding references and information, and will then consider whether she meets notability guidelines. If she is, the article needs editing, as it reads more like a eulogy than an encyclopaedic entry. RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:14, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep Having found and added sources, I think that she does meet WP:BASIC. There are multiple, independent sources, some substantial, some less so, but they add up. There is coverage across her life in both national newspapers and local papers around the UK (around England, and also Northern Ireland and Scotland). The article could still use some work - I'll work on the lede and info box. RebeccaGreen (talk) 02:55, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I cannot view the many British Newspaper Archive links you added since I don't subscribe and it's not available through the Wikipedia Library. However, I looked at a few of the other links you added and they don't seem to add up:
- A mention of her name in a radio programme cast
- A single mention in a local newspaper's stage play review:
Outstanding performer in a capable cast was Peggy Batchelor who admirably sustained her role of a fussy specimen of nice womanhood with mothering tendencies towards the male Godfrey Bond turned in a splendid piece of characterisation of tne class beloved to English comedy writers the butler who is incapable of being surprised and is always adequate to meet all emergencies
- A user-generated source on the history of a local theater club
- A single reference in a local news story
- None of these adds up to WP:SIGCOV. Can you better characterize the British Newspaper Archive sources so editors can properly evaluate them? Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:09, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- As I wrote, I think that she meets WP:BASIC - "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." The number of times a source is referenced gives an idea of the amount of detail in the sources - the profiles of her published in newspapers in Tyne and Wear and Cambridgeshire are particularly detailed, while the Belfast source has a bit less. There is more detail in The Stage article about the drama school she founded in Essex that I have not included. There is coverage over many years - 1925, 1938, 1947 all deriving from her appearances at the Wembley Tattoo; 1946-1966 in stage shows; 1970s-1980s as founder of a drama school and as a nationally recognised adjudicator.
- You mention that being a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts is not a rare honour. Being a Fellow of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama is - information online [24] states "The Guildhall School offers the following honorary awards for distinguished services to the School and to the profession: the FGSM (Fellow of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama), awarded to distinguished professors, examiners and past students and the Hon GSM (Honorary Member of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama), awarded for services to music or drama and to the Guildhall School. Limited to 100 holders at any one time." That is an indication of her professional standing, in addition to the news coverage about her.
- I am not suggesting that all the sources contribute to notability - 3 of those you link to provide evidence of facts in the article (her appearances in two radio programmes; the date she left the drama school she founded; the facts that she taught at drama festivals as well as adjudicating, and that she worked at drama festivals in Wales as well as England and N. Ireland). RebeccaGreen (talk) 01:34, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Contested draftification, so off to AfD. Company fails WP:NCORP, and it's a particularly egregious case of WP:ADMASQ, almost to the line of a G11. Contrary to the article's claim, it does not appear on the 2024 FT 1000 list (not that that would confer notability if it did). The rest of the sources are limited to:
- Corporate press releases ([25], [26], [27], [28], [29])

- WP:PRIMARYSOURCES like Zensai's description of its products in app stores ([32]) and other Zensai sponsored content ([33])

This article appears to have escaped a CSD G4 on the technicality that the CSD tag was removed not by the page creator but the by editor who moved this page into mainspace. That said, it's previously been deleted under an alternate name (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mohamadadil Asif Malkani) and has been repeatedly deleted.
Since we are now forced into a second AfD, here's the rationale and source analysis. The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Appearing on Shark Tank India does not generate notability. It is also WP:ADMASQ, with WP:PROMO language like Qadri's journey into the world of fragrances began at an early age, driven by his passion for fine aromas and an interest in traditional perfume-making techniques
and As a self-made entrepreneur, his journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring business owners looking to break into niche markets.
The sources do not support notability. We have:
- Unbylined coverage that is unreliable per WP:NEWSORGINDIA ([36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42])
- WP:ORGTRIV focused on his company, not on him ([43], [44], [45])
- Tabloid journalism ineligible as WP:SIGCOV per WP:SBST ([46])
- An apparent piece of WP:SIGCOV ([47]) but on a promotional site that publishes paid articles without disclosure.
- An article that does not even mention him ([48])

Reywas92Talk 19:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Merge, probably with either the article for Justin Trudeau or with a separate article. From what I've seen of articles for other notable political resignations, they've always been a part of the article for that person or a larger notable event which the resignation was a part of. I would maybe argue the same for the article on Chrystia Freeland's resignation. Obviously, there are other resignation articles like the one for Pope Benedict XVI, so I'm not fully certain of how the notability policy should be applied, but I still feel that merging would be appropriate.

- I understand that Benedict's resignation gets to a standalone article, as it was being the first Pope to resign in six centuries. If we are going to take the path of merging, the 2024–2025 Canadian political crisis article could be the target of Trudeau's and Freeland's articles. Nonetheless, at this moment, the article needs a lot of work before the merge can be done. Basque mapping (talk) 19:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- I have restored the redirect of this "crisis" article to Resignation of Chrystia Freeland, rather baffling that is was just created as a copy-paste duplicate of that page.

- These articles are all just one long process that culminated in Trudeau's resignation and should all be at one article, similar to the October 2022 United Kingdom government crisis and July 2022 United Kingdom government crisis for Truss and Johnson's resignations as UK PM amid similar internal party crises. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 22:06, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Consider this an affirmation to merge to that title; we really don't need much of this article, which just sums up a resignation speech along with the usual other party's 'responses' which are so WP:MILL and what usually happens in a parliamentary democracy.

- Just because we don't know if there's enough lasting coverage doesn't mean we should assume there isn't. Whether keeping an article should be the "default" feels more like a question of inclusionism vs deletionism, an argument of which every editor has an opinion by now and that seems to be unable to be settled any time soon. However, considering this article has no serious BLP issues and is well-sourced, there appears to be little harm in keeping it for a few days until the state of lasting coverage becomes more clear. I am reminded of the article for Maxwell Azarallo's self-immolation, which was nominated for deletion before he even was declared dead; at that point, it was unclear whether, like Aaron Bushnell's self-immolation, it would sustain lasting coverage. However, a month later, that coverage did not materialize, and editors voted to redirect. -insert valid name here- (talk) 23:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect to 2025 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election or 2024–2025 Canadian political crisis, per other resignations found in Category:Resignations and the arguments per PaTeKor and Reywas92. Trudeau's resignation after his failures is only just a part of the larger political crisis in the Liberal Party. Per the precedents in other Commonwealth heads of governments: the resignations of Tony Blair, David Cameron, Theresa May, and Thatcher redirect to the successive leadership election, the resignation of Liz Truss redirects to the larger political crisis, and finally Jacinda Ardern's resignation has her own article, but it's likely to be merged into 2023 New Zealand Labour Party leadership election. ⁂CountHacker (talk) 19:54, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

- Draftify until NPOV issues can be resolved. As it stands this article is a WP:COATRACK for undue and largely unsourced synthesis of negative opinions about its subject. It's also cherrypicking negative approval ratings: the article notes that Trudeau had the second-lowest approval rating of listed prime ministers but doesn't note that from the same list he also had the second-highest within his tenure. It's also stretching to attach the resignation as a black mark on Trudeau's tenure, as though prime ministers resigning from office is not a common occurrence in Canada: the article notes that nine prime ministers have resigned from office, but omits that only 12 retired after electoral defeat (2 more died in office), so this is in fact rather common and mundane.

PM’s resigning mid-term in Canada is rare (last one was over two decades ago), and Justin Trudeau is one of the most noteworthy world leaders right now. Precedent to keep includes articles such as the Resignation of Jacinda Ardern & Resignation of Chrystia Freeland (both of whom are less noteworthy than Trudeau, considering he is the leader of a G7 nation.)

- The article says nine PMs out of just 23 have resigned midterm, how is that rare? Two decades ago was just three PMs ago. Yeah Trudeau is noteworthy, that's why there's a whole article on his premiership! Doesn't mean everything he does need another article! There's a merge proposal for the Ardern page, and I question the need for the Freeland page as well (merge it to 29th Canadian Ministry#2024 shuffle and crisis or rename it to cover the broader tumult in this Canadian government).

- Redirect preferably to Justin Trudeau#Resignation and merge any relevant information. We can wait to see if there becomes a need for a separate article - but it appears there are a bunch of articles that already provide context for the resignation, such as 2024–2025 Canadian political crisis. It is unnecessary to create separate articles for every event. --Enos733 (talk) 21:44, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Obviously meets notability standards with the amount of coverage. The issue is whether a separate article is required or not. Resignations by prime ministers not following an electoral defeat/defeat via on-confidence are relatively rare and that's reflected by the content of the article, since some of the encyclopedic material there would not be suitable for inclusion in some of the proposed targets (e.g. opposition parties' positions on the resignation, specific quotations from the speech, detailed summary of caucus group statements). Ideally, this should all be merged into one parent article such as 2024–2025 Canadian political crisis along the Resignation of Chrystia Freeland article, similar to how we have the July 2022 United Kingdom government crisis for Boris Johnson and October 2022 United Kingdom government crisis for Liz Truss. However, that does not require deletion and should be discussed on a talk page. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:55, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- In terms of merging, I would probably suggest moving this to a the political crisis title, and merging an appropriate amount from the Freeland article, which is probably already overly detailed and will in terms of long-term significance will be subsumed as part of the overall crisis that culminated in today's events. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:24, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete due to WP:TOOSOON. Trudeau did not actually resign today but merely announced a potential future resignation after a leadership election takes place. We do not know yet whether the resignation will actually happen. There is national (and family) precedent for such resignations never actually happening--for example, the 1980 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election never actually happened, and the elder Trudeau stayed on as leader and won another election. Of course, there was pressure on P. Trudeau to stay on due to the 1980 election, but there is considerable pressure to hold an election soon now as well, and it remains to be seen whether it will actually be possible to hold a leadership election in the current context. Alternatively we could Move to 2025 Prorogation of Canadian Parliament since, unlike the resignation which is a speculative future event, the prorogation really did happen today. Dash77 (talk) 22:14, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Prorogation is very routine, and happens in almost every Parliament. That aspect can be mentioned in 44th Canadian Parliament. Nfitz (talk) 22:40, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Michaëlle Jean herself did not consider the prorogation in 2008 to be routine. See for example Gov. Gen. Jean explains 2008 prorogation. However there are AFAIK no reliable sources saying today's prorogation was anything but routine so, unless and until there are, it is probably WP:TOOSOON to create 2025 Prorogation of Canadian Parliament much as it is also WP:TOOSOON to create Resignation of Justin Trudeau.

Wikipedia needs to get out of the habit of letting poor articles stay up that (I agree with others here) serve only as COATRACKs and NPOV violations, just in the hopes that they eventually have LASTING notability. Not every news story needs its own article, and like many others, this one can be sufficiently covered in the articles for Justin Trudeau, the Ministry, or the Parliament, or as others have suggested an article about the entire crisis if that becomes necessary due to size/amount of information (which is unclear yet). And again, please guys, stop trying to create independent articles ASAP on every news story that can be, at least temporarily, covered in other articles. There is no rush to create articles. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 22:28, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

- The difference, for me, with Resignation of Chrystia Freeland is that Freeland's resignation has actually happened. She was replaced as Finance Minister, at least, by day's end. By contrast, if a Prime Minister wants to resign, then he or she turns his resignation in to the Governor General. Trudeau met with Simon earlier today. He did not resign. If he had he would no longer be PM. That is why I say it is WP:TOOSOON in Trudeau's case. Dash77 (talk) 23:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep The US had a rather similar situation when Joe Biden decided not to seek reelection last year. There is an article detailing the events leading up to and the events following his decision to not seek reelection.

- Keep – This is a major event in Canadian politics deserving of its own article. The arguement that "all prime ministers resign so Trudeau's isn't significant" is garbage and pays no respect to Canadian political customs. A prime minister resigning as they are bound by constitutional convention to do so once they lose an election is not the same as a prime minister resigning following an unprecedented government crisis. The significance of the event, article size, and widespread media coverage exists, so why should this be deleted. RedBlueGreen93 01:00, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep This article should be kept, whilst it may borderline violate WP:NOTNEWS; which has been referenced before, along with the aforementioned article being "Routine Coverage"; it is clearly in the safe zone and doesn't violate this criteria, and this rule as stated in WP:NOTROUTINE, and WP:N. The article's fate, however is firmly in question along with the Resignation of Chrystia Freeland, as it is TBD if the articles merge and become the 2024–25' Canadian Political Crisis. I support this decision, as both are interlinked with each other, and are the major parts of the aforementioned crisis. If this article should be kept, it would suffice; although it would be optimal if the aforementioned articles are merged sometime after the 2025 Canadian Federal Election, so we can thoroughly contemplate the aftermath of said crisis. That being said, just to clarify; I would support the keep option due to the fact that merging the article's right now would be lacking proper hindsight, but once we get past the 2025 Canadian Federal Election, it would be adequate to consider merging. --- SN102813 (talk) 02:43, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

There is a one sentence mention in 10.1080/01436597.2010.518790, and a few masters theses (not RS) (mostly over him using the gay panic defense), which is not enough. There is a single source that contributes to notability, [51], which has about two pages but I am unsure if this is enough. If kept it should be moved to Murder of Falah Zaggam (what the only secondary source calls it). PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

The manhunt is definitely not notable per WP:NEVENT. Searching for names in Greek, the 2011 murder he was convicted for might be, but while there are sources I'm not sure they're enough to pass NEVENT.

Per WP:GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT: Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". Other than databases (tertiary sources), there exists no reliable secondary sources that provide significant in-depth and sustained continued coverage of the event, with the occurrence having no demonstrated lasting effects nor long-term impacts on a significant region of the world that would make this event notable enough for a stand-alone article. This article from CHITA.ru was the only piece of non-tertiary coverage that I could find, but as stated before, it doesn't provide significant nor in-depth coverage of the event.

- Keep as a commercial flight with a number of fatalities it surely meets notability criteria. I don't really see what the problem with the sources is either.TheLongTone (talk) 15:29, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Just because it was a fatal commercial flight doesn't mean it's automatically notable. This sort of argument is not enshrined in any notability guideline. As stated above, WP:GNG requires that sources be secondary. Databases (including those cited in the article) are considered tertiary sources and therefore do not contribute to notability. It's been discussed a few times at AfD, WP:RS/N and WT:AV and the general consensus was that Airdisaster.ru isn't reliable. Same goes for Russianplanes.net, which was also discussed at WP:RS/N Aviationwikiflight (talk) 15:44, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep there are times where strict interpretations of WP:GNG don't make sense, and this is clearly one of them. This was a major aviation accident in the Soviet Union, and while I'm not easily able to find modern sources, and it may even be hard to find sources at the time, this is a detailed referenced article and is clearly an article that you would want to have in a set of articles about aviation disasters in 1957. Even though that's a little bit of an WP:IAR vote, I feel strongly enough to say that deleting this would clearly make Wikipedia worse. SportingFlyer T·C 18:50, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I am nominating this article because I do not believe it meets notability guidelines.
Note that this article was previously deleted and then undeleted.
- WP:EVENT - this content has no enduring historical significance. This does not have widespread national or international impact. This is arguably routine in the sense of shock news/water cooler stories/viral phenomena.
- There are no lasting effects
- The geographical scope is limited to Duke
- The duration of coverage is limited to 2010 with one more article a few months later
- There is one NYTimes article surveying the person in question but the focus is on the aftermath rather than the event in question or even the controversy in question
- WP:NOTNEWS -
Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Wikipedia is not written in news style."
- In the original AFD, the author wrote
This is not an article about the faux thesis, it's an article about the controversy that the faux thesis generated.
- However, after 10 years, I think it is fair to say that one of the responses to that is quite accurate
But most of the coverage was not commentary on the controversy (and "media discussion over routine privacy breaches" is also very routine and needs a fairly high standard to pass WP:NOT#NEWS. For example, is there evidence that any reliable sources have assessed this controversy within the field of "controversies over privacy" and concluding this is a significant one?). As a controversy, is this seen or will this be seen as a controversy of "enduring notability" (WP:NOT) that changed, shaped or defined the debate on privacy compared to a thousand other private communications that someone's friend posted to the world and went viral?
There are also WP:BLP considerations but I am more reluctant to specifically cite policy because this is not a biographical article. I invite others to do so if they are more confident on the matter. Transcendence (talk) 05:13, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

- Keep: the matter is properly cited to multiple reliable sources, including indeed The New York Times, which has covered the matter more than once actually: the one in the article is from 2018, eight years after the 'thesis' went viral, so the concern about a brief news event is incorrect. The matter has been covered by numerous other newspapers and news sites so its notability is not in doubt.
I'll addI have added a few more sources and descriptions of reactions by The Daily Telegraph and The New York Times (including in later years) for good measure, but the article is already correctly sourced and summarizes the story clearly. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:33, 30 December 2024 (UTC) - Keep. Multiple reliable sources confirms this event's lasting notability. Add doi:10.1177/1045159514558412 and this to the list of sources. Esculenta (talk) 13:54, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Added both of those, and came across yet more useful sources when I did so. One other point: the 2010 AfD only had sources from that year, so it was actually too early to tell if the matter had a wider effect. We now have five substantial sources from later years, in multiple disciplines, so we know that it did. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:40, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Multiple reliable sources (and artistic responses) confirm notability. However, I agree with "deletes" it probably does not belong prominently in Duke University templates any longer: the coverage and artistic response does not seem to emphasize this as a notable event for Duke specifically but rather for the Internet and contemporary sexual patterns in general, as an epitome. It may make more sense to attach this page to general Internet events or sexuality templates rather than to the Duke template. RowanElder (talk) 21:28, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

The term "chiefdom of Commane" is not used anywhere it seems[57][58], none of the "notable figures" bear the name Commane.

- You're not looking at the correct sources, writing a reply to this now Kellycrak88 (talk) 10:15, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your feedback on the article. I would like to address the points raised:
- Irish chiefdoms persisted over a long period in Thomond (Co. Clare) during the Middle Ages, partly due to the failure of the Vikings and Anglo-Normans to establish strongholds in the region. As we are discussing the early medieval period, when written records were sparse, scholars have to reconstruct the history through analysis of historical texts, place-names, archaeological excavations and comparative data. The sites of Tulach Commáin and Cahercommaun are physical archaeological locations, which further underline the chiefdom's significance.
- The chiefdom of Tulach Commáin, centered on its capital at Cahercommaun, encompassed a territory of considerable importance, possibly spanning three residential sites and the Arran islands. Cahercommaun features a trivallate stone fort, serving as its political and ceremonial centre, a burial and inauguration site for chieftains at Tulach Commáin ('Mound of Commane'), and several associated monastic and ecclesiastical sites, underscoring its religious and administrative prominence in early medieval Ireland.
- The primary sources for the Chiefdom of Commane include:
- - Gibson, David Blair Ph.D. (1990). Tulach Commain: A view of an Irish chiefdom (500 pages on the subject), which has been referenced in several scholarly works, including Celtic Chiefdom, Celtic State, The Evolution of Complex Social Systems in Prehistoric Europe (1995)
- ----
- 1. On the Spelling "Commane":
- Notes on Irish Names and Spelling: The reader who is unacquainted with Irish culture, history, and language may experience confusion with Irish names due to their many variations in spelling and different names for the same thing, partly due to linguistic development of the Irish language, so the spelling of words and the names themselves vary greatly between texts, especially in the Middle Ages. The article already acknowledges this challenge, stating:
- "The various spellings of Commane and its variants can largely be attributed to the lack of Standard Irish until 1948 and the historical practice of English-speaking officials transcribing Irish names phonetically, often based on how the names were pronounced."
- Furthermore, the capital city of the chiefdom Cahercommaun is sometimes locally referred to as Caher Commane, (see: https://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/places/the_burren/cahercommane.htm) demonstrating that "Commane" is a primary anglicised variant by the people in the area of the original chiefdom. The Wikipedia article also cites Gibson's book, noting that it refers to "variant spellings throughout: Comáin, Commáin, Comain, etc (different spellings and names are common in Ireland)." This reflects the historically variable nature of Irish names and the necessity of choosing one variant for clarity in an English-language encyclopedia, consistent with Wikipedia's naming conventions for Irish surnames (e.g., O'Brien vs. Ó Briain).
- ----
- 2. Historical Terminology:
- While the spelling "chiefdom of Commane" does not explicitly appear in primary sources, it reflects the territorial and political structures documented in historical studies Tulach Commáin and Cahercommaun (same names, different spellings). Scholars such as D. Blair Gibson and James Frost describe Cahercommaun as a political and ceremonial centre in County Clare, serving as the chiefdom and seat of the sept in the 8th–9th centuries. "Commane" serves as the English variant for Commáin, and the usage of the name aligns with the historical anglicisation of Irish surnames.
- If necessary, I am open to renaming "chiefdom of Commane" to "chiefdom of Tulach Commáin" to reflect the documented place-name and avoid ambiguity, even though this spelling was proposed by Gibson and he confesses to different spelling variants.
- ----
- 3. Notable Figures:
- It should also be noted that the person's original name and chief in the original gaelic would have been Comáin or Commáin (anglicised to Commane) as quoted in the article "as hereditary surnames in Ireland only began emerging between the 9th and 11th centuries" so the the sons would have been Mac or Ó "meaning" son of or "descendent".
- The lineage does includes notable individuals such as:
- Saint Commán of Roscommon, Saint and founder of Rosscommon a key figure in Irish ecclesiastical history.
- Célechair mac Commáin, recorded in the Annals of Ulster and
Annals of Innisfallen, who was of the Eóganacht Uí Cormaic and died in the Battle of Corcmodruadh (704–705 A.D.).
- Coman of Kinvara, Saint
- Colmán mac Comán the second abbot listed in the Irish annals
- Variants such as "Ó Comáin," "Commáin," and "Comáin" are consistently tied to the same lineage, which historical sources document as playing a significant role in Munster's early medieval socio-political landscape.
- In 1052 AD there is a mention of spelling Comman in the Irish annals Part 15 of the Annals of the Four Masters.
- In the sourced Early Bearers and Historical Records section it clears shows from the off shoots from Ó Comáin:
- Laerunce Commane, 1796 in Flaxgrowers List (Ross, Cork);
- Maurice O Koman, yeoman, and son Rory O Coman, 1573 in Fiants Elizabeth §2251 (Kanturk, Cork); Note spellings
- These variations are consistent with historical naming practices, as highlighted in genealogical studies and sources like the Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh's 17th-century genealogical compilation, Leabhar Mór na nGenealach (The Great Book of Irish Genealogies), a key source for tracing Irish lineages.

- 4. Sometimes incorrectly 'translated' to Hurley camán a hurly
- Yes, my mistake, I added the wrong source reference to the article for this, which I've now updated.
- The words Camán and Comán are linguistically different, none of the Commane variants start with Cam, therefore some sources are incorrectly claim the name is linked to Hurley.
- ----
- 4. Verifiability and Sources:
- The article incorporates referenced material from primary and secondary sources, including works by historians like Frost, Gibson, and O'Hart, alongside primary annals. The references also highlight the historical prominence of the Chiefdom of Commane (Tulach Commáin and Cahercommaun).
- If further clarity is needed, do let me know. In the meantime I will refine the language or include additional references to bolster the article’s verifiability.
- I hope this response clarifies the rationale behind the article's naming and content. Please let me know if there are further adjustments you'd like to see.

- Lots of words to say very little, it seems. No idea why this is at Commane and not at e.g. "Ó Comáin", unless it is because you have some COI with the Commane family you added to Newhall House and Estate or something similar. Nothing you state above contradicts that there is no reliable source about the "Chiefdom of Commane", or that none of the notable persons you listed are called "Commane" (you listed some rather random persons with the name, no one disputes that the name exists). Fram (talk) 13:47, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Fram, I’m honestly just trying my best to address each of your points thoughtfully. To clarify, my "COI" is that I live in Clare and my surname is Hurley, which often gets incorrectly linked to Commane, a widely recognised surname here. The reference to "Commane" was chosen because it’s the most anglicised form of "Ó Comáin," aligning with the context of an English-language encyclopedia. For example, Wikipedia uses "O'Brien" instead of "Ó Briain," consistent with its naming conventions for Irish surnames. While "Ó Comáin" would be more appropriate for the Irish-language version of Wikipedia, it doesn’t mean the history of the name or its variants is unnotable simply because "Ó Comáin" lacks extensive individual articles. I’d really appreciate it if you could take another look at Section 1 of my response, where I’ve outlined the historical and archaeological basis for the "Chiefdom of Commane" and its connection to Clare. That said, I’m open to collaboration and willing to move the article to "Ó Comáin" if there’s a consensus that it’s more appropriate. My main goal here is to preserve the effort I’ve put into the article, as the the sources are valid, and I’d prefer not to see it deleted. If there are specific concerns you feel remain unresolved, I’m happy to discuss them further and make adjustments. I’m just trying to contribute something meaningful here.

- As long as you insist on using "Chiefdom of Commane" when not a single reliable source uses this, I have no interest in even looking at what else you state. Your article seems like a coatrack of everything loosely related to the name, from a long section on a clan or chiefdom to a list of non-notable people named Commane or Comman and a list of notable people not named Commane, and so on. "The reference to "Commane" was chosen because it’s the most anglicised form of "Ó Comáin," aligning with the context of an English-language encyclopedia." Not according to "The Oxford Dictionary of Family Names of Ireland", which doesn't even give Commane a separate entry (or even a "see at" reference), but mentions it once under the entry for Cummins[60], which you are well aware off, since you copied the whole section "Early bearers and historical records" literally from that source. Do I really need to restart the proposal at WP:ANI, considering that the previous problems all seem to persist? @Asilvering: has there been any attempt to get the mentoring or feedback which was supposed to happen after that previous discussion? Fram (talk) 15:53, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

- @Fram, as far as I’m aware, it is not a copyright violation to include a list of names from a source, they help prove root of name. Reporting me (again) unjustly to administrators (whose prior review did not result in any action against me) without fully engaging with my responses is not constructive and only creates unnecessary tension. I have taken the time to address all of your concerns and provide balanced explanations, supported by credible sources. However, your unwillingness to read my response and now your presentation of a false narrative is both unfair and unproductive. I remain committed to improving this article collaboratively. However, given your history of targeting me, I believe it would be more constructive for a third party or another editor to engage with me on this matter instead of yourself.

- @Fram as you've stated you're not reading my responses, Tulach Commáin means in english "The Mound of Commane". I am happy to renaming it to the Gaelic. Kellycrak88 (talk) 16:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- No it doesn't. You are the only one ever to use "The Mound of Commane", in two Wikipedia articles. Reliable sources almost invariably use the Irish name (which is a recent invention anyway), not some translation, and one source uses "The Burial Mound of Commán".

- This [63] is the much more recent book by that scholar, not his PhD thesis, and that book uses "The Burial Mound of Commán" (once) or the Irish name, not "Commane". The term Commane does not appear in that book. Fram (talk) 16:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Please read the quote you just linked to it says Tulach Comma (The [burial] Mound of Comman) notice "burial" is in brackets meaning optional and it's referred to else where without burial. The whole point of my wikipedia article is variations of the name. The same author uses Comáin, Commáin, Comain, interchangeable variants throughout the book and gives an explanation for why which I tried to do on the wikipedia page, it's the same name, I appreciate that's a strange concept from an English perspective.
- I have both this book and the PhD thesis which is way more thorough and academic but yes similar.

- Here is my problem with these stand-alone articles. All four disciplines are often not contested. There are often not enough competitors to award a bronze medal, and in some cases, even a silver medal. Many of these competitions featured no more than two or three participants. And most of the competitors who are listed are redlinked or unlinked (ie. themselves not notable). The competition results and scores are included (or should be included) on a skaters' individual article. The medal results are included on the parent article (in this case, Swiss Figure Skating Championships). But these nations with small national championships are just not worth trying to maintain individual articles for each competition. Bgsu98 (Talk) 09:29, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Excluding the dozens and dozens of "top 10 perfume" lists and "this is the perfect Black Opium dupe" junk articles, there seem to be a good number of reviews and product announcements in reliable sources.

WP:BLP of a writer, not properly sourced as passing WP:AUTHOR. As always, writers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show certain specific markers of achievement supported by WP:GNG-worthy third-party coverage about them in media and books -- but this article is completely unreferenced, and is not making any strong notability claims.
The main attempts at notability claims are that he's been municipal poet laureate of a small city, which isn't an automatic notability freebie without sourcing for it, and that he's been a recipient of various minor and/or unspecified literary awards that aren't highly prominent enough to confer instant inclusion freebies without sourcing for them. An award has to be notable in its own right before it can make its winners notable for winning it, so notability doesn't derive from the presence of the word "award" (or sticking the word "prestigious" in front of it) in the article text, it derives from the quality of the sourcing you can show to demonstrate that the award is a sufficiently notable and/or prestigious one in the first place.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass GNG on his sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 14:15, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

- Keep: Under Hive Colab there are multiple sources that support notability, see New Vision, Independent, AsiaTechDaily, Nile Post, Pctechmag, and BBC FuzzyMagma (talk) 17:40, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- There are multiple sources but after looking at them, I do not feel comfortable using these to establish notability. My initial comment is the article is about HiveColab while the focus on a lot of these articles is about YSAU (Youth Startup Academy Uganda) which is one of the accelerator programs under it. Per WP:NOTINHERITED while they are related, we cannot use the program alone to cover for the organization above it and HiveColab should be able to stand by itself. Also something irking me is how promotional the whole thing seems. I see mention of co-founder Barbara Birungi and judging by the state of her article, it feels like there is some PR campaign being held for her (and possibly her firm) on the internet. Anyway:
- New Vision: There seems to be a related press release for this here. This is reporting on a ceremony for YSAU, a program under Hive Collab rather than Hive Collab itself. Half of it are just promotional quotes by related parties. If you look at the remaining content, most of it looks very similar to the press release. Edit: ITC states it is involved in implementing YSAU so it’s a related party. The press release from Hive Collab is here which has similar wording content.
- Independent: First thing I noticed is this article is not authored to an individual. There's another site with the exact same content here so I’m wondering if this is just a form of a press release. The focus is on Ugandan startups signing deals at Gitex in Morocco. The focus is not on Hive Collab but the entrepreneurs under it. The latter half of the article can be ignored since not about Hive Collab. So taking out the quotes, its pretty much a non-notable entity named Dain Leaders Corporation signing an MOU with Hive Collab and the supposed benefits in a press release manner.
- AsiaTechDaily: Non-notable entity GCCEI signs an MOU with Hive Collab. That's kinda it. While it is authored, it seems like a regurgitated press release of a routine deal given how short it is and the language used.
- NilePost: This one does seem to be more than a press release (I think). But in my view looking at it, the main focus is on YSAU companies attending Gitex in Morocco with a chance to show themselves. There doesn’t seem to be much analysis on Hive Collab itself. Edit: Here is the original press release, the 15 YSAU startups are directly copied so the source is now much weaker.
- PC Tech: There seems to be a related press release (or update as called) for this here. This article is not authored to an individual. Another ceremony of people from YSAU graduating. Large chunks of it are just kinda copied from the press release.
- BBC: Very brief mention of Hive Collab and in fact seems to be more on Barbara Birungi herself.
- So looking at all of them, they fail WP:SIRS in my view. To save time just give the best three independent in-depth sources going forward. - Imcdc Contact 05:25, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- You should be clear when you say a press release to indicate how did you come to that conclusion.
- All of what you labelled as a “press release” is either not a press release by the organisation, see New Vision or is not one at all, see Nile Post. And I am not sure who did you dismiss the mention by the BBC. This organisation is not in Global West, it is in Uganda and still mentioned by the BBC. FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:55, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- FYI, I have updated the above analysis.
- See WP:PRSOURCE. A press release doesn’t need to directly come from Hive Colab. It can come from an affiliated party. We know ITC is affiliated because it itself says the YSAU is implemented by ITC, Hive Collab and several other parties. So no independence there. WP:PRSOURCE also mentions how less reputable news sources will write an article based on a press release which we are seeing here in examples of churnalism. Btw I have found some of the press releases by Hive Collab and updated above based on it. For example we can see now that Nile Post has indeed copied a chunk out of a press release.- Imcdc Contact 12:25, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

- I'm not sure if its because Google Books is cutting off my access to see the whole thing, but almost everything seems to be a very short mention. A lof seem to be just something like this: ilab (Liberia), Hive Collab (Uganda), Etrilabs (Benin)... and thats it. The only one that offers more is the UNESCO one. But its just one short section giving very general (and sort of generic) description of Hive Collab. I don't think this is enough to meet WP:SIGCOV for an WP:NCORP subject. Imcdc Contact 11:25, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes all of them are mentions and not a dedicated chapter or even a whole page in the book. I will add the full excerpt later as most of them are not as you described.
- Still, given it was mentioned in all of these sources (books/News) = coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Whether you consider that satisfy the “significant” part or not, I will leave it to you. I am of the opinion of keeping the article.
- Also your comment about the BBC source is unfair, as Barbara Birungi was talking about HiveColab, quoting “
"It's not about strict business. It's also about coming here to share your ideas, and collaborate. Because out of sharing and collaborating come ideas," says Ms Birungi. The Hive CoLab was opened to give the technology scene in Uganda a space that they could call their own and come and collaborate, says Barbara Birungi. "Apart from just offering them a space we see how we can take an idea to the next level. Because many startups fail within the first two years of existence."

- I'm not sure if its because Google Books is cutting off my access to see the whole thing, but almost everything seems to be a very short mention. A lof seem to be just something like this: ilab (Liberia), Hive Collab (Uganda), Etrilabs (Benin)... and thats it. The only one that offers more is the UNESCO one. But its just one short section giving very general (and sort of generic) description of Hive Collab. I don't think this is enough to meet WP:SIGCOV for an WP:NCORP subject. Imcdc Contact 11:25, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- There are multiple sources but after looking at them, I do not feel comfortable using these to establish notability. My initial comment is the article is about HiveColab while the focus on a lot of these articles is about YSAU (Youth Startup Academy Uganda) which is one of the accelerator programs under it. Per WP:NOTINHERITED while they are related, we cannot use the program alone to cover for the organization above it and HiveColab should be able to stand by itself. Also something irking me is how promotional the whole thing seems. I see mention of co-founder Barbara Birungi and judging by the state of her article, it feels like there is some PR campaign being held for her (and possibly her firm) on the internet. Anyway:

All the coverage is in the context of their "Open SIM Kit" after they got funding from the Knight News Challenge in January 2013, but it seems like the project fizzled out pretty quickly.

This page is horribly outdated and has not been updated since 2017 outside of bot edits. It still treats de-extinction as a far future hypothetical event when there have been numerous successful de-extinctions since then such as the Judean date palm, tsori, aurochs, Montreal melon, and Floreana giant tortoise. The term is also not widely used outside of one book, and everything discussed on the page is mentioned on or can be mentioned on the main de-extinction page.

This is a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of List of wiki software with no useful salvageable value.
The section "Multi-user wiki software" lacks any useful inclusion criterion - MediaWiki (the software that this wiki runs on) does not have a "personal edition" in any reasonable sense. Yes, it's configurable enough you can use it for a lot of things, but the standard for when that would be would be entirely arbitrary. Most of the remaining entries do not have any mention of personal wikis in their article.
The section "Single-user wiki software" is almost entirely duplicated at List of wiki software#Personal wiki software.
The rest of this article is just a trivial definition of the concept - "a personal wiki is a wiki for personal use". And that's it. Delete or redirect to List of wiki software#Personal wiki software (since an individual instance of a personal wiki is by definition a complete nonentity with no existence outside of that of its sole user the software is the only significant bit). * Pppery * it has begun... 04:54, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

The subject of this article does not meet WP:NSPORTSEVENT (the specific notability guideline for a single match) nor any general notability guidelines. This is because it is not an individually notable match in itself, as just one of a series of knockout games in regular competition, and because it does not appear to have much media coverage that is not WP:ROUTINE. It therefore does not meet any of the four criteria for NSPORTSEVENT, and the lack of non-primary sourcing prevents it from meeting GNG. Kingsif (talk) 03:31, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

- @Lyndis Parlour: The sources you have linked (without actually adding any article content, just the sources) are, top to bottom: a non-RS that is a player interview mentioning the game in passing (see SIGCOV), an Arsenal fan blog than lauds the game's attendance (see SPS), and a simple list of match attendance figures (see DATABASE).

This is also reflected in the links and references provided with the article that comment from a range of reputable sources. The article was written to detail the history and to provide information about the game both from UEFA, media outlets and players to provide historical context to the events that occurred. I have now added even more links. This game is far more significant than any standard game of football and any consideration that is isn't suggests that that person is not well informed on women's football - a chronically underreported sport and poorly represented on Wikipedia.

- You do not have any sources that say the match either
represents a historic moment in the history of women's football in England
oris far more significant than any standard game of football
. UEFA match reports, and match reports from RS outlets, are still WP:ROUTINE coverage, which I implore you to actually read and understand before asserting that others don't know what routine coverage is. What you personally think is notable is not the same as Wikipedia's notability guidelines. - Stop with the bad faith accusations. There is a difference between making sure we create and maintain N-compliant articles focused on women's topics and (something too many people try to do now:) making stubby articles about non-notable women's topics just to boost the quantity without care for quality, overall harming the intention of gender parity in Wikipedia coverage.
- As this discussion is about N-compliant sources, I will assess the sources you have added. These three; two for saying the match was the first time Arsenal W.F.C. had sold out the main stadium (TBF, a logical assumption) - one of these being a press release from the club itself (see PRIMARY) - and the other a passing mention that due to ticket sales in this and other matches, the main stadium would continue to be used. Look, I am sure it is possible to find the minimum of three non-routine, non-SPS, SIGCOV, RS sources about the match if you really try. The question is to ask yourself: does this a standalone article warrant. Or is the actual notable content that can be gleaned from those sources simply better suited as a "they set the attendance record for a women's club football game in England and sold out the Emirates" mention at the 2022–23 Arsenal W.F.C. season article.

- Keep The article is definitely in poor shape, but I think the concept of 'puppy love' or a 'crush' is fairly trivially notable. The article cites plenty of sources in gender/sexuality studies, literary studies, and adolescent medicine, and I have no doubt at all that there are many, many more sources out there discussing the idea of childhood/adolescent infatuation. A lot of the material on China does need to be cut or slimmed down, but I don't think the article is anywhere near bad enough for this to be a case of WP:TNT. MCE89 (talk) 01:04, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

- Agree with deletion, the most notability-instilling source cited is a NYT "30-minute interview" but that was part of a series of short interviews of "prominent developers, brokers, property managers and builders in New York commercial real estate", which is a specifically narrow scope and to me does not indicate that the subjects of those interviews are necessarily notable enough for WP:GNG (and is maybe even borderline non-WP:IS).

- Weak delete Putting aside cross-Strait relations and Taiwanese independence, the sources that I could find don't seem to suggest that anti-Taiwanese discrimination is a sufficiently distinct phenomenon from anti-Chinese or anti-Asian racism to merit a separate article. On the other hand, nationalist/anti-Taiwanese independence sentiment in mainland China is certainly a notable thing, and I did find some sources discussing the ways in which anti-Taiwanese independence rhetoric can feature outright negativity towards Taiwanese people and culture (e.g. see [71] and [72]). But I'm not convinced that there's enough coverage of that specific sentiment to merit a separate article, and I think it's probably better discussed in the context of wider Chinese nationalism and Chinese unification.

The book notes: "There are many active participants in the research and development of machine translation (MT) and CAT. One leading organization is the Chinese Information Processing Society of China (CIPSC; www.cipsc.org.cn/index.php). It was established in June 1981, its mission being to develop methods for processing Chinese with the aid of computer technology, including automatic input, output, recognition, transfer, compression, storage, concordance, analysis, comprehension, and generation. This is to be done at different linguistic levels (character, lexical, phrasal, sentential, and textual). The field has developed into an interdisciplinary subject area in a very robust way with collaborative work by scholars from fields like philology, computer sciences, artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, and mathematics. This organization has been in close contact with the outside world, playing a very active role in the world MT-Summits."

In 1983, the Chinese Information Processing Society of China and UNESCO jointly held the "International Symposium on Chinese Information Processing" in Beijing. At the "Computer Chinese Information Processing Exhibition" held at the same time as the conference, 38 achievements from 34 units in 15 provinces and cities were exhibited, and the sales turnover during the exhibition period was 10.78 million yuan. This achievement was not only praised by Mr. Owolabi of UNESCO and domestic and foreign audiences, but also surprised major foreign computer companies that were eyeing the huge Chinese market. They did not expect China to move so fast,"

- Keep - there is no WP:MINIMIMDEATHS. Accident seems to have comparisons to Hixon. Article appears to need updating (NTSB report?), but that is not a reason to delete. Mjroots (talk) 09:53, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. I'd raised concerns back in 2015 about lasting notability: Talk:2015 Halifax train crash#Notability. If the NTSB released a full report I can't find one. The FRA's Office of Railroad Safety released a perfunctory report: [76]. The report says, in effect, the driver screwed up. Grade crossing accidents, by themselves, are routine. Hixon had outcomes and commemoration. Mackensen (talk) 12:27, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Strong keep "run of the mill crash"es don't leave 55 people injured. Also, as MJRoots pointed out there is not a requirement for deaths in a rail accident. 55 injuries makes this notable on its own. When is the last time a rail accident caused nearly 5 dozen injuries, and it didn't have an article? I stand behind this article. Juneau Mike (talk) 19:08, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per Mackensen. It's a fairly ordinary grade crossing accident with no lasting impact. Number of injuries don't determine notability; continued coverage and impact does. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of rail accidents (2010–2019)#2015, where it is already listed. It doesn't merit a standalone article. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:24, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment if it is kept, it should be renamed to include Halifax, North Carolina in the title to disambiguate from Halifax, Nova Scotia and similar to 2018 Crozet, Virginia train crash - Epluribusunumyall (talk) 23:26, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Note This is a bizarre argument. Synopsis: It doesn't make it notable or not if people were killed. But it also doesn't make it notable or not no matter how many injuries were incurred. No matter how this AFD goes, it's one to remember! I stand by my above !vote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelh2001 (talk • contribs) 21:33, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

- Delete No content here, only infobox. Vitorperrut555 (talk) 01:30, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Don't delete This has a good amount of history that dates back to 2011. At the very least, retarget back to Goblin (album) and/or draftify the current content. mwwv converse∫edits 02:46, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Goblin (album) per above. No point in draftifying as this is just an infobox which could be easily recreated and isn't worth saving on its own. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 06:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Revert to redirect to Goblin (album): an infobox alone does not an article make, especially since the redirect was itself the result of the previous nomination (and the article obviously had more content then… which still wasn't enough). WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 08:13, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Goblin (album) - Back in 2014 the song article was redirected to the album, and since then there has been no further coverage of the song in its own right to merit a standalone article. Also note that someone later retargeted the term to sandwich for an unconvincing reason. Yesterday an inexperienced editor reverted the redirect and formed the no-content song article that we see now. There is little likelihood that it can or will be further (re-)developed into a full article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:17, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

- Sputnikmusic review is a user review, thus ineligible per RSMUSIC, and I can't say I'm confident in RoughEdge. But both AllMusic and Exclaim! are valid reviews from reliable sources. I don't think it's in as bad shape as claimed above. There's also a mention in this article about the artwork of David Ho which would be worth including if kept. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything else, but for an Interscope release at that time I have to imagine there's more out there. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 06:32, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I just noticed that the cover of the album says Armageddon Through Your Speaker, not Speakers, so the name of the article is incorrect. Still doesn't appear to be very noteworthy based on the sources found for "Speaker" instead of "Speakers". LupinOnTheFritz (talk) 09:26, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
