I can't find coverage beyond mere mention in reliable sources. The subject appears to have lost their campaign to be elected to the Malakpet legislature, and thus their sole government post of corporator does not meet WP:NPOLITICIAN. Previously nominated for speedy A7 deletion by Natureium, although admittedly at that point the article had no sources--the initial editor promised to add more sources, but the ones that have been added are still inadequate for establishing notability. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 23:27, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say that any of the other contributions have been "significant", so it could probably be G5'd. Natureium (talk) 23:36, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't checked if the initial editor had been blocked, thanks for pointing that out. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 23:50, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: does not meet WP:NCORP. Sourcing offered above is in passing and / ot WP:SPIP, insufficient for establishing notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:17, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Per user:K.e.coffman and User:Aurornisxui. There is a difference in sources for content and those supporting notability. Some sources on the article don't even have passing mention. The article Assa Abloy is the parent of "Traka". In the first reference there are five divisions, EMEA, Americas, Asia Pacific, Global Technologies and Entrance Systems. Traka is not listed so is a sub-division actually of EMEA. The first reference mentions Ingersoll-Rand twice, with nothing about Trake or a $14.89bn acquisition price, so does not appear to even be a source for the article. The second reference "does" support the Ministry of Justice, with mention of the FBI (not in the paragraph), but does not mention the Metropolitan Police Service’s Royalty Protection Squad. The third reference does mention Traka in an article dated 10 Dec 2011 and pre-acquisition. The "Awards" reference does not contain Traska at all. What about John Kent? He was the founder and still company manager of Trasha. Even with that added I do not see a small company (a sub-division) as deserving a stand-alone article at the expense of the start-class parent company. I might consider merge but that has become an issue with some AFD's. Note to new editors: Thanks for contributing but why would putting divisions and subdivision under a parent article and building it up to C-class or better not be a better plan than two lessor classed articles? The notability is certainly with the parent company. Just a thought because it is not supposed to be about article creation numbers over quality. Articles can always be split.

• Delete per nomination. We may welcome, appreciate, and admire the efforts of newbies in creating new articles but this does not mean that the standards of Wikipedia must be lowered to accomodate personal gratification. Wikipedia is, first and foremost, an encyclopaedia and not a course in writing. Anyone who wants to contribute here can easily learn how to do it properly, even when it comes to creating new articles. This is why WP:AFC is in place. -The Gnome (talk) 05:42, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a radio staton, which is not citing any reliable sources to get it over Wikipedia's criteria for the notability of radio stations. As always, radio stations are not handed an automatic inclusion freebie just because their own self-published websites about themselves technically verify that they exist -- one of the core conditions that a radio station has to meet to qualify for an article is that it can be referenced to some degree of coverage in sources that are independent of its own web presence, such as books or newspaper/magazine articles which properly verify the content. I'm not an expert in where to track down Bruneian media coverage, especially given that its secondary inclusion of Chinese and Nepali language content means that some sources may exist in languages I have no ability to read, so I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can locate more evidence of reliable sourcing than I've been able to find -- but radio stations are not entitled to keep unsourced Wikipedia articles just because they have websites.

• Comment – A custom source search provided this source, published in 1940 by "Government Printing" (link), but this may be a British Raj source, which some on Wikipedia consider to be unreliable regarding clans and tribes. Not sure, because I cannot access the minuscule preview of the title page of the source in a larger size to actually read it. This search provides more sources with snippet views.

• Yes, that is a reprint of Lepel Griffin's Chief and Families of Note in the Punjab from ca. 1909. Like most British writers of the Raj era who published about castes/clans etc, he was an amateur in the sphere of ethnography and an administrator by profession. Their aim in writing these books was to document for the purposes of controlling the population for the benefit of empire. - Sitush (talk) 06:44, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are claims here that could get him an article if they were referenced properly, but nothing that's so "inherently" notable as to exempt him from having to be referenced properly -- but the only "referencing" here is his own primary source profile on the website of his own management agency, not reliable source coverage about him in media.

Completely unreferenced biography of a person notable only for being "involved" in organizing and promoting local events.

• Comment I have seen news reports about the topic, of low-carbon-emitting cement and how important the issue is. Not sure whether those were from this specific research group / initiative. This article could perhaps be merged to the research topic, if there is article, or "Kept" but renamed to be about the topic. --Doncram (talk) 19:45, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Sure, this current article is too narrow, but it is about a huge issue, can be expanded and probably renamed. Google on "low carbon cement" and there are lots of hits, including numerous scholarly articles. There is an article, Eco-cement, about one brand of this cement. That article has external links about the topic, including to this FastCompany article, in which it is mentioned that producing 1 ton of cement usually produces 1 ton of carbon emissions, while asserting that could be reversed. Perhaps that article, too, should be merged also into one article, perhaps Low carbon cement. Akin to clean coal / low-sulphur coal. And to low-carbon building, low-carbon economy, other topics. --Doncram (talk) 23:27, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The article isn't about the general topic however - according to the first sentence of the lead, the article is about a network of academics and industrials. I've got nothing against us having an article about low carbon cement, or the general issue of environmental degradation involved in the production of concrete - but for this article to stand, we would need sources discussing this network of academics and 'industrials' to satisfy notability criteria. I can find almost nothing about them.GirthSummit _(blether) 15:18, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I previously Proded the article with the objection of that it fails WP:NCOLLATH and WP:GNG last week but it was removed by User:Authenticboy15. The article only cites minor sources, including YouTube. In any event he doesn't meet notability standards. Further note the Prod remover objected with the comment. "I’m a well established media coverage who takes part in many editing platforms for athletes and this athlete’s profile is accurate and legit. Matches information laid out just like many other great athletes detail on the Wikipedia platform. Doesn’t make sense to why it has been placed with a PROD. I removed the PROD because I strongly object. I don’t know the kid but I have tried to cover a story about him and did not get the chance to but I do continue to follow his..."

• Delete it seems that the pinnacle of his college football career was to play at Iowa Wesleyan University, a NCAA Division III school. There's of course nothing wrong with that and a division III player could achieve notability, but I see no indication of that to be true. I'm finding no references in independent third party reliable sources, much less the significant coverage we need for inclusion in this encyclopedia. The professional career seems to be with teams in the Indoor Football League, which does not indicate notability achievement as well. If such sources were introduced, I'd be happy to change my position and we could include them in the article--but my research has led me here in this case. I can only see that the subject fails WP:GNG, WP:BASIC, WP:NSPORTS, and any other notability guideline I can find. Perhaps an enthusiastic editor will try another wiki more suitable, such as an online sports almanac.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:07, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (Article author). Subject information meets guidelines listed in Wiki guidelines references. Information is blueprinted in simplicit manner. Subject discussed on page is authentic individual, with reliable and authentic sources. Rather than nominate for deletion, why would you as editors not do research on the subject and provide more sources, if you don’t agree that the current sources are “good enough”? Indoor football leagues, as well as arena football leagues are just as notable as other professional leagues of football. Each notable athlete is not always recognized through media and articles, which should not held against them when articles are portrayed in promoting those type of athletes and their story/journey, particularly small schools. This particular issues, has me worried about my other articles I am working on as well. Who have been worked out by NFL teams but I guess that is not considered as high of a standard as playing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Authenticboy15 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Question what "other articles" ? The only logs in your history are for Antonio Penn, this discussion, and the talk page for this discussion. In any event, athletes not being recognized through media and articles are precisely reasons not to include articles about them because such a case would not meet notability standards, especially for biographies of living persons.

• Delete. This player does not clear WP:GNG or WP:NSPORTS.

There are plenty of things Finnish Wikipedia, being a mid-sized wiki (English Wikipedia has 72 times the number of active editors), doesn't have articles on yet. /Julle (talk) 07:26, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's entirely irrelevant. It is reasonable to expect many articles in the English Wikipedia not to have their counterpart in the Finnish one. But we're talking about a subject that's supposedly notable (per Wikipedia's standards) in Finnland and not in the English-speaking world. Yet, there is no entry in the Finnish Wikipedia about him. Do you happen to have some explanation for that? Sizes don't matter! -The Gnome (talk) 10:47, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Size does matter – and is an important part of the explanation – in that article creation is far slower. I don't know how much cross-wiki article creation experience you have, but this is hardly unique. There are phenomena in Finland that lack articles in Finnish but have them in English, partly because you'll find editors from Finland who'll opt to edit in a more widely spoken language (e.g. English) instead of Finnish. There are Icelandic writers who have articles in Swedish Wikipedia but not in Icelandic, not because they lack notability but because Swedish Wikipedia has 20 times the number of editors, and sometimes that matters more than being the most likely language. Etc etc. Also, notability is global; a subject not more or less notable because one is active in a specific language area – it is notable or not. We're writing a global encyclopedia in English, not an encyclopedia of the English-speaking world. Additionally, it's a stretch to assume that only the Finns should care: the sources in this article include a British writer (Mike Ashley (writer)) published by a British publisher (Cambridge University Press) and a Swedish newspaper (Dagens Nyheter).

(Also, Finland is bilingual. The country has two official languages: Finnish and Swedish.) /Julle (talk) 11:21, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of a person whose claim of notability (receiving the Order of Canada) is referenced only to an 18-word blurbette on the Order of Canada's own self-published website about itself rather than any evidence of reliable source media coverage. While the Order of Canada is a valid notability claim if the person can be referenced to enough reliable source coverage to pass WP:GNG, it is not an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts a person from having to have any media coverage just because it verifies in the Order of Canada's own self-published database -- for one thing, "noted for his work in amateur theater" isn't very specific, and fails to say anything about what his work in amateur theater was: actor? playwright? stage manager? director? lighting designer? janitor? Even with a CM after his name, we still have to be able to say (and reference) quite a bit more about him than just "he existed" before an article is actually warranted. Bearcat (talk) 03:54, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Canadian newspapers have coverage of him over many years. He died in 1982, and his obituary states that he had been stage manager of the Ottawa Little Theatre for more than 50 years (it gives his age, place of birth, when he arrived in Canada, the public service work he did, his wife and children, etc).[8] The first coverage is in a 1935 article with 7 paras about him and his work (as overseer and electrician), 'Back Stage Staff Work Hard For Drama's Success' (The Ottawa Journal [9], then 1942 ("Look For Man Behind Scenes When Play Is Great Success', The Ottawa Citizen (lighting, set designs, set changes) [10], 1945, 46, 47, 48 etc (shorter - a sentence in each article about scenery and stage sets, etc). 1949 - an article about a Teenage Community Corn Festival (which actually seems to have been a drama festival!) - Bill Adkins was directing six other stage managers; article says he has extensive stage managing experience with army shows, the Orpheus Society and the Little Theater [11]. 1951 - several articles, a para in one [12], two paras in an article about a show going to London to represent Eastern Ontario in the Dominion Drama Festival [13]. 1956 - 2 paras [14], 1958 - 1 para [15], and other shorter mentions of his work as stage manager and/or set designer. (Some shorter mentions as "William Adkins" eg in 1960 [16]). 1960, an article in the Ottawa Citizen on 15 October, 'Bill Adkins At L. Theater For 39 Years' [17], and another in the Ottawa Journal on 3 December, 'Bill Adkins Honored' (with a Canadian Drama award "in recognition of outstanding contributions to Canadian theater") [18] (seems to have actually been awarded in March 1961 [19]). (Also reported in the Ottawa Citizen [20] and The Gazette, Montreal [21] 1963 - 'Faces of Ottawa - William Adkins' [22] - about 16 paras, including where he was born, one of 5 brothers, service in WWI, theatre work in WWII, etc). 1967 - a para in an article about 'Ottawa Little Theater' [23]. 1970 - the Little Theater burned down - 3 sentences about Bill Adkins in one piece [24], 1 sentence and 3 paras of quotes from him in another [25]. 1971 - a photo of Adkins and one of the directors at the site of the new Little Theater [26]. 1972 - a sentence in an article on the opening of the new theater [27]. More 1 sentence mentions in reviews of plays in the early-mid 1970s. Also, in 1973, he was among the first people appointed as Members of the Order of Canada [28] (article about the development of the Canadian honors system, with the rank of Member intended to honor "Canadians who have made outstanding contributions to their professions, local organizations and communities"). Another article about nominations says he was "active in the Dominion Drama Festival" [29]. He was described as a "legendary character" in a 2012 article about theater in Ottawa [30]. Certainly enough to compose an article with, if he is considered notable. RebeccaGreen (talk) 08:53, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of a person whose only stated claim of notability is being associated with other people. Notability is not inherited, however, so simply managing a notable rock band is not an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts a person from actually having to have any reliable source coverage about him -- but the references here aren't getting him over the bar, as they include one (deadlinked) profile of the band, one still-live profile of the band on an unreliable site, and one dead piece of content about a reggae musician on a Wordpress blog. None of this counts for anything at all toward making Wyn Anderson notable enough for a Wikipedia article, and I can't find anything better anywhere else.

• Keep for now. I have a feeling that Anderson also had something to do with other bands besides rock group, Thundermug and reggae artist Gregory Isaacs (some real diversity there). He may have done other work with Axe Records. If it doesn't go that way to save, could we possibly preserve the history and have it re-directed to Thundermug?
  Thanks. Karl Twist (talk) 11:57, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Even if he had done other work besides Thundermug and Gregory Isaacs (an unverified claim at present), the notability test would still hinge on how well you could reference him to reliable source coverage about him, not just glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage about the artists he'd worked with or unreliable sources of any stripe. I've already looked for real media coverage that might bolster his notability, and I can't find any. Bearcat (talk) 21:05, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Thundermug (band) There's a lack of significant independent coverage about him and no indication of notability meriting a separate article, plus notability can't be inherited. Seems to have been integral to Thundermug's success and is already mentioned in that article, so a redirect seems best to me. Papaursa (talk) 20:03, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This subject is not notable. Coverage is mostly trivial and passing mentions. There is not enough significant coverage about the subject in WP:RS. Notability is not based on popularity. See argument on talk page it is about a person who is very popular. Also notability is not based on inheritance. There are un-sourced claims of celebrities subject has interviewed on youtube. These do not denote notability either. The number of other you-tubers known by this subject is also not important. The article is very promotional and is not suited for wikipedia.

• Delete I’m honestly surprised this page managed to get created. The draft was trash (I would know I had to correct it). While he’s a popular YouTuber and controversial DACA recipient, there are absolutely 0 reliable sources about him. Guy breaks up with girl isn’t news. Someone also removed some factual BLP information. Trillfendi (talk) 17:25, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Well, we have the BBC [31], Wired Magazine [32], The Verge [33], Sky News [34], the Evening Standard [35] etc. So I question your "zero reliable sources". There is also The Post [36] (but you can question that as a student newspaper) or the non-RS Daily Mail [37]. I didn't dig through the 11 hits on Google Scholar, but the person does look notable as a "famous Youtube personality" or whatever. Certainly it was not clear cut enough to delete this as a G4, so I declined the speedy. —Kusma (t·c) 19:22, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zero reliable sources to substantiate notability. Common sense. That’s what this is about. BBC’s Newsbeat section is their Page Six for social media and gossip. Guy breaks up with girl isn’t BBC’s actual news. Trillfendi (talk) 21:13, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, it’s extremely rude to call the draft trash. All Wikipedia articles have to start somewhere. Saying that you had to fix it is extremely false. Many editors worked to make it what it is now. (The reason I’m so mad about your statements is that I created it, so thanks for that.) The sources listed are of reliability, and since you are the “fixer” of the page, maybe you could go out and find some new sources? Just a suggestion. Oh well, what do I know? It’s not like I’ve been editing Wikipedia pages for years or whatever.VoltronUniverse

This is not an article about Dobrik, but this Forbes article clearly assumes most people reading stories about YouTube know Dobrik, which does indicate notability to me. I'll just say keep at this point. —Kusma (t·c) 17:36, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Meets GNG, as per Kusma. Bondegezou (talk) 16:36, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Per Kusma and the fact that he gets some hits in google scholar [38]. I think Wiki is certainly outdated in the way it treats internet celebrities; not our fault but i don't think old media sources know how to accurately cover a mainly young phenomenon. Because under any definition this guy's dedicated audience is bigger then 90% of entertainers on this site. If any other entertainer had ten million dedicated followers they'd have tons of sources. It's just the media seems to have a weak spot covering internet celebrities. GuzzyG (talk) 04:19, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Per Kusma as the article sites more sources than some articles of other entertainer sources on this website. Saying there is not enough sources is not fair considering other articles (e.g. Sasha Sloan) that provide less information about the person and provide less sources. If there was not enough sources as a biography of a living person per the amount of information, Bots would automatically alert editors to that. This article is about an influencer with 10million+ fans and describes his career and the group of people he is involved with. I say keep. Thanks, VoltronUniverse (talk) 14:06, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Slatersteven, I can see that, but I'd also totally delete the Charlie Kirk article if given the chance a likeminded consensus for the same reason (at least at this moment in time). I'd probably would want to redirect it to TPUSA as well since that is the only thing he's known for, so it's best for me to stay away from this group of subjects because I'd throw the legitimacy of the process into doubt.

This is not motivated by dislike, there are plenty of things I dislike more then this lot (is there more then one?), that have articles I would never delete. The issue is I do not see this having any impact or (after a few months) being little more then three students in the union bar moaning about Brexit. This is why I mentioned lasting impact.

• Delete. Firstly, "quoted by" has nothing to do with Wikipedia's inclusion criteria at all — people get over our notability tests by being the subject of coverage, not by giving soundbite to the media in articles about other subjects, so the Time and Nikkei Asian Review sources listed above are not helping. Secondly, people don't get over our notability tests by being the author of their own sources, either — The Caravan doesn't help to establish his notability, because it represents a source in which he's writing about himself in the first person, not a source in which other people are writing about him in the third person. Thirdly, people are not handed an automatic free pass over our notability criteria for writers just because the book's existence metaverifies itself on the non-independent primary source website of its publisher — the notability test for a writer is independent coverage about his writing, such as newspapers or magazines publishing reviews of the book, not just the fact that the book exists. This is not the kind of sourcing that it takes to make a political backroom organizer notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia — we are not looking for journalism about other things that quotes him in passing, or journalism by him, or his books metaverifying their own existence on online bookstores, we are looking for third-party journalism about him.

I am unable to find substantive coverage of this topic in independent reliable sources. Most search results are youtube videos and promotional links.

• Keep I can see the album discussed in [39][40], reviews in the Pipeline magazine (issue 29 page 45) and Reverb central. Not a great haul of sources, but it's worth noting that the album was released in 1963 (therefore archived sources on the internet are harder to find), but it was still discussed in the sources which include the 1973 Listener magazine (BBC, UK) and the 2008 book, multiple sources that suggest sustained interest in the album in the wider world, therefore passing WP:NALBUM and WP:GNG.

Andydangerfield (talk) 20:13, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Your second point doesn't address the concern. Please see WP:ORGIND. Nobody is saying the sources aren't reliable or that the extracts aren't accurate. What is being said is that there is no significant (more than a passing mention) intellectually independent (not relying on announcements/quotations/company-produced info) content in the references. HighKing⁺⁺ 13:55, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, per the sources establishing notability that Andydangerfield has provided. However, the fact that it has 300,000 customers is irrelevant; it could have ten million customers and still not be notable. -- NoCOBOL (talk) 06:28, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - passes WP:NORG. Also per sources added by Andydangerfield. Skirts89 (talk) 21:53, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Nom's comment: the content added by Andydangerfield amounts to WP:PROMO directory listing, i.e.

• "In July 2017, Curve rolled out a feature on the app allowing users to retroactively change their selected payment card for a transaction as old as 14 days.[13][14] After attracting a waiting list of 50,000 people, Curve fully launched to UK consumers in early 2018.[15] By the end of 2018, it had 300,000 customers across Europe.[16]"

Having 300,000 customers is not an indicator of notability. Andydangerfield also failed to mention at this AfD that he's an employee at Curve. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:47, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment:I have removed paragraph of the number of current customers due to debate in this AfD discussion as to whether this is an indicator of notability. All other sentences cite notable sources.
• It says quite clearly in my bio that I am a content manager for Curve. I am happy mention that wherever else appropriate. I’m new to editing on Wikipedia so appreciate any guidance on this. My only aim is to ensure this article is a fair and accurate reflection of Curve and I am happy to amend anything deemed inappropriate in the article.

• Delete Not one of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability as they are all either based on company announcements or the content is not in-depth or significant.

• Keep coverage in national newspapers, MoneyWeek and Which? is just enough for notability. Peter James (talk) 23:41, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Sorry, but coverage in national newpapers is not part of the criteria for establishing notability. It is about the type of coverage. The coverage in Moneyweek and Which is all based on the company announcement that launched the card. You will see a lot of "coverage" at the end of Jan and beginning of Feb 2018, all in "reliable sources", but failing WP:ORGIND as it is also all based on the company announcement of the launch of the new app. For example, the Irish Times, TechCrunch, Finextra, nomadgate, crowdfundinsider ... tons of coverage on the launch. Fails WP:ORGIND. HighKing⁺⁺ 13:31, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • There's a difference between a review and a press release. Obviously reviews are likely to be of new products or services, but coverage is selective: many products and services are not reviewed or written about in national newspapers and well known magazines read by many people. Although these is the most significant coverage, there is some from other reliiable sources before and after the launch. Peter James (talk) 20:04, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Classic fail of WP:ORGIND. It is generic news associated with a startup. scope_creep^Talk 10:32, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • None of the references are "reviews" in the context of somebody getting and using the card and writing about their experiences. Instead, the references are regurgitating the information provided by the company in terms of (1) What it is (2) the benefits (3) the costs. This is classic churnalism and the WP:NCORP guidelines were explicitly tightened up last year to exclude these types of articles for the purposes of establishing notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:50, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I've removed a large portion of the sources on the page for being from tabloids or unreliable publications, but there are several good articles that focus on the company in depth, enough in my mind to clearly pass the harsh standards of WP:CORPDEPTH. I added some Financial Times coverage of a lawsuit, and articles such as this one in TechCrunch focus on the company at large, not just the launch itself. Also staff coverage in Forbes which isn't all positive. 66.198.222.67 (talk) 17:23, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• https://techcrunch.com is too indiscriminate to meet WP:CORPDEPTH, while [www.forbes.com/sites www.forbes.com/sites] is a user-submitted area, not editorial content. FT is a passing mention. This is still a directory listing on a nn org that is trying to use Wikipedia to promote itself. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:27, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Yes, to be clear, the Financial Times article is not "coverage of a lawsuit", but an article based on a blog post on Curve's website, various tweet from purported Curve users and a statement from American Express. There is no original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject and fails WP:ORGIND. I agree with the above on the TechCrunch article (based on the PR surrounding the launch of their app in the UK and also based on "a call with Curve founder and CEO"), meets the definition of chrunalism and therefore also fails ORGIND. I also agree with the above that the Forbes article is from their "sites" section which is explicitly excluded for the establishment of notability in WP:NCORP and is classified as "Dependent coverage". HighKing⁺⁺ 13:31, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree most of the articles count in part as churnalism (most business articles do), but scattered throughout the fully admissible TechCrunch and Forbes articles (corporate sellouts, yes, but still known for fact-checking and hardly as ridiculous as the Daily Mail or Enquirer), there is enough journalistic perspective to show the topic is notable. Concerning the advertising, the trivial or promotional details can be chopped out quickly by a discerning and neutral editor, and so no need to delete on those grounds alone. 66.198.222.67 (talk) 19:19, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Some new sources for perusing. 66.198.222.67 (talk) 20:04, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Kadhim Shubber, May 25, 2016 It’s no fun when Amex throws your startup a Curve ball, The Financial Times
• February 17, 2016 New Card Allows Users to Use Amex Anywhere - Without Paying Surcharge, The Daily Telegraph
• Steve O'Hear, January 2019 Amex blocks Curve as the fintech startup vows to fight 'anti-competetitive' decision, TechCrunch

The first is generic, it is introducing the card to readers of the FT and introduces nothing that is not covered by other churnalism. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND

The second one is exactly the same format, it describes the card, then the founders, then the funding. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND

The third is real news, but it exactly the type of news that comes from a startup. Startup news is covered by WP:NCORP. That was part of the reason it was written. scope_creep^Talk 10:22, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I agree with scope_creep. Please take a read of WP:NCORP (especially the WP:ORGIND section) to understand in more detail why those sources so not establish notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 18:01, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Move to draft for now. I suspect this could become a decent article, on par with the Napoleon one, with info on the background, aims of the invasion and why it didn't go ahead.

• Strong Keep. While the invasion did not happen, nobody seems to deny the plans were made; if the invasion had happened, it would have been on a material scale. Thus the topic is notable and acceptable for a WP article (check). The article is a stub but is referenced with a basic stub structure (check). Therefore, while I would love to see more content (and ultimately a full article), I how can I object to existence of a properly referenced stub on a notable topic?

And it sounds like there's enough information out there to write a decent article that wouldn't need to be merged into another.

Article about semi-pro footballer who made 1 substitute's appearance (a total of 3 minutes of play) with a fully-pro club. The article so narrowly reaches the presumption of notability at NFOOTBALL that without satisfying the GNG it cannot be viewed as notable (plenty of AfD precedent exists to say that barely passing NFOOTBALL is not enough when you fail GNG, see Oscar Otazu, Vyacheslav Seletskiy, Aleksandr Salimov, Andrei Semenchuk, Artyom Dubovsky, Cosmos Munegabe, Marios Antoniades, Scott Sinclair, Fredrik Hesselberg-Meyer, Matheus Eccard, Roland Szabó (2nd nomination), Metodija Stepanovski, Linas Klimavičius, Takumi Ogawa, Nicky Fish and Andrei Nițu, amongst others). All of the online coverage of this person in secondary sources appears to be transfer news, statistics databases or match reports (e.g., routine coverage), and there are a handful of brief articles published by his employers (Eupen or Kaizer Chiefs) which I don't believe are secondary sources.

An SNG provides for a presumption of notability, not a presumption of non-notability An SNG cannot be used to exclude/delete an article when the subject passes GNG, but the reverse is patently absurd because that would negate the entire reason for the existence of SNGs particularly for a player currently playing and only 24 years old.Not players who have retired.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 21:49, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mngadi has been without a club since May 2017 when he was released by Eupen. I wouldn't assume he is "currently playing" without a source (I found that he had an unsuccessful 2-week trial with Golden Arrows in August 2018, but there are no other signs that he has continued a footballing career). Moreover, I never suggested NFOOTBALL provides a preumption of non-notability - I agreed that it provides a presumption of notability - just that it can be rebutted, as I think it should be in this instance. Jogurney (talk) 22:16, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - per Jogurney; there is plenty of past AFD consensus which shows that technically scraping by on NFOOTBALL is not enough with a comprehensive GNG failure (as is the case here). The 'allowance' we grant players is usually reserved for youngsters who are at the beginning of the career; as Jogurney says, given he has not had a club for 2 years it is likely his career has ended, with nothing to show for it that merits and article on Wikipedia.

• :Highlands Park coach Da Gama says ""they have used the international break to work on some areas where they have struggled‚ as well as look at potential new players.These include former Sundowns defender Mzikayise Mashaba‚ ex-Kaizer Chiefs wingers Phakamani Mngadi and Abia Nale‚ as well as former Ajax Cape Town forward Tendai Ndoro‚ who is into his third week with the team.Nobody has been signed yet‚ though I have left the Tendai Ndoro negotiations up to [club CEO] Larry Brookstone." As per this article on 12 September 2018. Being out of contract does not mean retired for 24 year old.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 18:26, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • This simply means that Mngadi had two unsuccessful trials during August and September 2018. It suggests he is not performing at a level where a fully-pro team would contract his services (not to mention he literally has only played 3 minutes at that level in his entire career). It does not suggest he is "currently playing" at a professional level (or even at a semi-professional level). Jogurney (talk) 04:11, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete WP:NFOOTY shouldn't supersede WP:GNG, sources seem a little run of the mill, Govvy (talk) 16:30, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep As others have pointed out, he passes WP:NFOOTY, and passing a WP:SNG is typically sufficient. And for whatever it's worth, he has two appearances with fully pro clubs - he played in a Belgian Cup match between two WP:FPL teams in 2016-17 as well. Smartyllama (talk) 19:24, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Passes NFOOTY, and had fully professional games in 2 professional leagues.--Ortizesp (talk) 22:35, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  He played 3 minutes in one fully-pro league. He also played 9 minutes in a cup match against D2 Roeselaere (cup matches between clubs from fully-pro leagues are considered roughly the same under NFOOTBALL). So, he has a total of 12 minutes of "fame." Jogurney (talk) 23:55, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Seems notable to me, considering his appearance is with Kaizer Chiefs, who are one of the largest teams in the Sub-Sahara, and Eupen is a D1 club.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:01, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, or at worst merge into List of road interchanges in the United States. The fact of interchanges being mentioned in each of the two or three route articles they belong to suggests that having a separate article or list-article item about each of them is a good idea. The separate article or list-article item can have photo(s) and more info, then be linked from each of the 2 or 3 route articles. There obviously exist individually notable interchanges, and a list of them in one state can be notable, and the U.S.-wide list is obviously hugely valid (and was resoundingly supported in an AFD previously). It is an editorial matter of whether to split out a state-level list or not. I tend to think it is better to keep this split out now. --Doncram (talk) 17:41, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. The list-article is substantial and includes references at the end. Coverage of several interchanges is quite extensive. Having a list-article of them probably heads of creation of separate articles for each one. It would be fair to tag the list-article for more specific inline references, though. --Doncram (talk) 17:44, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Although I'm not a big fan of interchange articles (I prefer to mention interchange details in the road articles), this article does serve a purpose to provide information about some of the more notable interchanges in the state that would be too little for a standalone article. Dough4872 20:42, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. An awful amount of original research and self-published sources (of what few sources exist) in the article but the general consensus per WP:ROADOUTCOMES is that highway interchanges aren't inherently notable and generally (bar a few exceptions in the notability policy) should be mentioned only in the respective highway article. Also per nom that no similar article exists for other US states. Ajf773 (talk) 08:06, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Lists-related deletion discussions. Ajf773 (talk) 08:07, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

wp:ROADOUTCOMES says nothing about interchanges. If you don't like numerous separate articles about individual interchanges, this list-article should be kept, to head off their being created separately. There is pretty clearly enough material for several of the interchanges to sustain separate articles (though the sources are either at the end of the article or need to be added). In other words, if the outcome here is "delete", I expect I or other editors would create a raft of new articles. :) --Doncram (talk) 23:26, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note that "what links here" shows that there are a lot of inbound links to this list-article from highway articles and elsewhere. These include redirects for the following interchanges, presumably each to their specific list-item, for:

• Mid-County Interchange
• Eisenhower Interchange
• Throop Dunmore Interchange
• Interstate 279 Interchange
• Mount Nittany Interchange
• Lehigh Valley Interchange
• Pocono Interchange
• Clarks Summit Interchange

These are likely candidates to have separate articles. And, if there is a category of such interchanges in Pennsylvania, then it would be justified to have a list-article corresponding to them, to summarize about them and provide photos and redlinks and more, per wp:CLNT. --Doncram (talk) 23:35, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Um, it does say: Highway exits should be listed in an article on a highway, not as a separate article, except for some highly notable ones unless in your opinion an exit and an interchange aren't the same thing. All of those links redirect to this article. If they were notable they would probably have at least some independent and reliable sources. Ajf773 (talk) 08:19, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Um. What i said, interchanges are not covered in ROADOUTCOMES, and sure, the list-article could be tagged for more specific inline references about each of the separate interchanges that have extensive coverage. I probably won't reply more than here and once below. --Doncram (talk) 23:35, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think these are likely candidates to have separate articles, the sections they redirect to in the current article are unreferenced. I checked for sources for a couple and found no signficant coverage. If uncited statements were removed from the article we would have very little left.--Pontificalibus 13:52, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. What is the criteria for inclusion on this page? It says major interchanges, but doesn't describe what major means. I have a feeling that if "major" was defined, the list would be four times as long as it is. It is far better to mention the interchanges on the respective highway articles and move on. –Fredddie™ 15:05, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion of criteria for list-item inclusion should take place at the Talk page of the list-article. Clearly IMO some of them would be individually notable, others should be "list-item notable" (with addition of specific inline references) and maybe some need not be mentioned (though a standard would have to be defined). --Doncram (talk) 23:26, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of these interchanges need to be cut out of the list; some of them are simple cloverleaf interchanges between two roads. Generally, for an interchange to be included in the list I say it should have a complex nonstandard design (not a basic cloverleaf, trumpet, etc.) and involve a junction between at least three routes. If we do not want to keep this list, some of the more notable interchanges (such as Mid-County Interchange) can be split into their own articles. Dough4872 04:36, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We're not necessarily disagreeing, but to continue the thought, from "if we do not want to keep this list", then we will see creation of separate articles, justifying re-creation of the list-article. So let's just keep the list. I probably won't reply more than here and once above. --Doncram (talk) 23:35, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I'm not convinced that this is a notable topic. Do we have any independent reliable discussing "interchanges in Pennsylvania" in detail? I would have no objection to the creation of a navigational list article in the future if we end up having seperate articles on several interchanges in Pennsylvania. Pontificalibus 13:15, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is extensive information available, including this PennDOT site with interchange drawings for each interchange; interchanges lists and locations and other info at PA Turnpike.Com, news articles like this Bucks County local news article about a turnpike interchange opening about a $450 million project to create just one interchange with flyovers (?). With argument

“Without a doubt, a crucial project benefit besides congestion relief and mobility is the economic boost for Bucks County and the entire southeastern Pennsylvania region,” Commissioner Deon said. “The completed interchange could support thousands of new jobs in existing industries in addition to the more than 500 sustained construction jobs we’ve already seen. From a market attractiveness standpoint, we’re looking at employment growth of thousands of regional jobs along with hundreds of millions of dollars in new business sales.”

these are big projects, big dollars, addressing big costs of congestion. There are lots of hits on the general topic of "pennsylvania interchanges" and the like, and there will be lots more when searching by names for each of the individual ones, and such coverage adds up. Ping User:Pontificalibus.

Maybe I led this AFD discussion astray... let's not force the split of this article into multiple articles in order to justify recreation of the combined article. That is silly, just keep one list-article. For those who have opinions about the relatively lesser interchanges covered, take that to the Talk page. --Doncram (talk) 20:47, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PennDOT and Turnpike.Com, while presenting useful information, do not contribute to demonstrating notability. They are not independent sources as they're involved in operating and maintaining the roads. If such information was deemed to be sufficiently worthy of note that an independent source thought it worthwhile to publish, then that would help establish notability, but I haven't found such a source. The local news article you quote may help establish the notability of that particular interchange, although it does rely heavily on quotes from PA Turnpike officials and reads like a press release. --Pontificalibus 09:25, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect (to Revolut) - while there's a few sources around the place, when removing the non-independent aspects (often interviews in reliable sources), there's not sufficient coverage of the man. Usually the non-interview but is mostly about the company itself. I don't think there's anything of particular note worthy of being merged, but founders are a reasonable redirect point.

Misterpottery (talk) 12:16, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Misterpottery: ALL of your links are articles about Revolut. The fist one is an interview - please, hope you are not arguing that someone is notable and should have an article in an encyclopaedia because he/she was interviewed by a journalist? The Times is another interview! The TechCrunch article is, technically, a promo of the speakers at their own conference. BBC is still another (video) interview and again focused on Revolut, not on its founder.

Please, PLEASE read the General Notability Guideline, especially the part independent from the subject. — kashmīrī ^TALK 13:57, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Kashmiri: General Notability Guideline seems applicable. Like an artist with a single work there are parts here that specifically focus on him and his noteworthy background that would be indicative of any company with a high profile founder. Many many pages fulfil such WP:GNG guidelines. Look at Sundar Pichai or John Collison or Travis Kalanick for example. All are notable singularly for their success in one company and nearly every piece is focused on Google. Nikolay has specific coverage that meets WP:SUSTAINED, WP:NTEMP, and wouldn't be useful to include in the Revolut article in my opinion. Misterpottery (talk) 17:36, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Misterpottery: I think you are trolling now. I quoted you the policies, and especially, sourcing policies, and instead of acknowledging you keep arguing that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

But as it stands, the most notable thing about his career to date is guesting on a single that reached number 87 on the UK Singles Chart, and there's a dearth of reliable sources talking about him.

Biography which isn't citing any reliable sources for the purposes of getting the subject over WP:GNG. As always, every president of every organization is not automatically handed a free pass into Wikipedia just because he exist(s/ed) — it can get him in the door if he can be shown to clear GNG on the sourcing, but the only sources cited here at all are unpublished private personal correspondence and a photograph, not reliable source coverage about him. Leading an organization is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt a person from having to have decent sourcing, however. Bearcat (talk) 06:13, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete. Fails NEVENT. The "red-links" all over the article underline the lack of notability. Britishfinance (talk) 16:21, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Can find no sources that this "festival" (actually more like a pub crawl with bands) was ever noticed by the outside world. It was sponsored by local enterprises with local bands playing at local pubs. Local is okay, but notability is more important here and there is no evidence of that. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:41, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of notability. The closest to WP:SIGCOV a search for sources reveals is^[45], and thus even WP:AGW with the print article this does not meet the requirements of WP:GNG -- NoCOBOL (talk) 07:28, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The artist has an eight record discography that are all linked chronologically and Rosy Maze is right in the middle. I don't think it practical to delete this page.Paradise coyote (talk) 19:45, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Some of the earlier albums in that list do not have pages either, so it should not be an issue. -- NoCOBOL (talk) 06:09, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Albums are not handed an automatic notability freebie just because the artist who recorded them has a Wikipedia article, or because of what order they happen to fall in within the artist's overall discography — getting reviewed in NME is certainly a start down the path toward notability, but one reliable source is not enough to get it to the finish line all by itself. An album's notability is demonstrated by contextualizing its importance, in terms of creative achievement or commercial success or award-winningness, not just by minimally verifying that it exists — but nothing stated here is evidence of importance at all.
