Indian president (disambiguation)

I don’t believe that this is a valid disambiguation page because I don’t believe that anyone has ever referred to the Prime Minister of Ireland as the “Indian President”, and the other entries in this list are equally fanciful. It might be possible to rename this to “list of heads of state or government of Indian heritage but I’m not sure there’s much point in that. Mccapra (talk) 07:31, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to President of India. Literally no-one is going to search for anything else with this term. Dronebogus (talk) 07:44, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Any particular reason to redirect Indian president (disambiguation) to President of India when Indian president already redirects there? Anyone typing the former, longer title is going to pass the latter, shorter one, and the target isn't a disambiguation page. TompaDompa (talk) 04:27, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed, this seems like a set index article in search of a topic. --Joy (talk) 11:01, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename or Delete agreed per previous points about the article title making no sense, should be a List of Heads of State of Indian Ancestry or just deleted outright. - Epluribusunumyall (talk) 20:23, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Many of the people on the list aren’t heads of state though. Mccapra (talk) 08:18, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I’d be happy with that, thank you. Mccapra (talk) 14:04, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. But even after the merge, the resulting redirect wouldn't make much sense, what are the odds that an average reader looks up "Indian president" and expects to see that? This title is just weird and needs to go after any merge. --Joy (talk) 07:38, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    1. Povey, Glenn (2007). Echoes: The Complete History of Pink Floyd. Mind Head Publishing. ISBN 978-0-9554624-0-5.

      Contains a list of the tour dates, with commentary accompanying each date.

    2. Cunningham, Mark (April 2006). "DAVID GILMOUR: On An Island 2006 tour". TPi Magazine. Retrieved 2023-01-27.

      Contains details of the tour's production, sound design, and stage management.

    3. Houghton, Richard (2017-11-01). Pink Floyd: I Was There. This Day In Music Books. ISBN 978-1-78759-054-0.

      A personal account of attending one of the shows, with commentary placing the show in historical context. Excerpt: "In 2006, a buddy of mine and I flew to Los Angeles to see David Gilmour's On An Island tour at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California. We specifically chose that venue because we felt that it was one of the best venues to see the show in the United States, being one of the smaller stops on the tour. Richard Wright was on the tour, sharing the stage with Gilmour. The show was incredible... Hearing Richard Wright and David Gilmour play live together, you could hear their friendship in the music and how their solos and flourishes played off each other. We did not know at the time that Richard Wright was ill. It was one of his last performances."

    4. Reed, Ryan. "When David Gilmour Began Post-Pink Floyd Tour for 'On an Island'". Ultimate Classic Rock. Retrieved 2023-01-27.

      Excerpt: "Fittingly, the corresponding tour was a fascinating cross-section between the classic grandeur of Pink Floyd and Gilmour's newfound intimacy. A pair of London preview gigs, held on March 6 and 7, featured a blend of band staples ("Shine On You Crazy Diamond," "Comfortably Numb") and highlights from the new LP. But the true kickoff show – March 10 in Dortmund, Germany – found Gilmour settling into a comfortable flow of two separate sets: the full On an Island LP followed by a selection of wide-ranging Floyd tracks, including the Obscured by Clouds rarity "Wot's ... Uh, the Deal" and a cover of Syd Barrett's "Dominoes." ... The most memorable show, perhaps inevitably, was the last: The band played for more than 50,000 people at Poland's Gdańsk Shipyard, backed by the Polish Baltic Philharmonic. That concert, captured for the 2008 live album Live in Gdańsk, became the last Floyd-related recording to feature Wright, who died from lung cancer on Sept. 15 at age 65 – one week before the set's release."

    These sources establish that this tour meets the requirements of WP:NTOUR, which state Concert tours are probably notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Such coverage might show notability in terms of artistic approach, financial success, relationship to audience, or other such terms. Jfire (talk) 04:07, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

None of the 3 references show significant coverage nor do they indicate notability in any other way. In my searches, the best I could find were Daily Telegraph, an image caption mention, Football SA, a squad list, TWG, which mentions her only once, and The Equalizer, which is a passing mention in a match report. I can't find any indication of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Happy to withdraw if someone can bring forth multiple WP:RS showing detailed coverage of Stockdale.

Wikipedia is not a statistical database, and these are entirely redundant. They completely fail NLIST, which states that a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, and there is no evidence on any of these articles that such coverage exists. Even a cursory check for each of these will show that virtually the only time they are considered as a set is by statistics databases."

    Looks like an article discussing/applying its methods rather than a review per se; I'm not an expert here, but I think a case based on that would have to go through WP:NACADEMIC and assess the book's impact as academic/scholarly literature rather than popular.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:

    A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:

    1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.
    1. Elgin, Suzette Haden (March 1987). "That's Not What I meant! How Conversational Style Makes or Breaks Your Relations with Others". Language. 63 (1): 200. JSTOR 415426.

      The book review notes: "I disagree with this hypothesis; I believe it to be a valid description of communication only in persons who are extremely insecure and lacking in self-confidence. ... I suspect that this book is in some ways the product of strong pressures from agent, editor, and publisher, who did their best to convince T that a linguistics book for the general public should contain very little linguistics. I would enjoy seeing her write a book on this subject, or a related one, which did not suffer from the constraints those pressures impose on an author."

      The book review notes: "This book has come out of her observations, and she notes a number of barriers to bliss, such as some of us expressing things indirectly, a disaster when one is trying to reach somebody accustomed to bluntness. ... She also delves into what could be the most controversial aspect of the book, her assertion that there are male/female differences in communication. ... This is obviously oversimplification for the self-help book audience and Tannen knows it, although, in a communications lapse of her own, she buries her realization in a footnote at the back of the book ..."

    3. Wolfe, Winnie (1992-07-12). "That's Not What I Meant!". The Pink Paper. p. 16. ProQuest 2081973842.

      The book review notes: "An international bestseller in the best tradition - a do it yourself guide to conversational style. If you have a problem in making yourself understood, or a desire for a classy turn of phrase then Deborah Tannen's little book is the guide you need. Although written to explain why we find it so difficult to talk to the "opposite sex" and discusses heterosexual misunderstandings, That's Not What I Meant will no doubt be of interest to many lesbians and gays who find talking to each other problematic."

      The paper notes: "This paper will focus on certain concepts presented in Deborah Tannen's book That's Not What I Meant, analyze them from a linguistic and a behavioral perspective, and compare the relative utility of the two approaches. In That's Not What I Meant, Tannen's basic premise is that people have different conversational styles and these different styles lead to misunderstandings and disrupted relationships. ... In her book, Tannen describes certain elements of conversational style and illus- trates how individual differences in these areas can lead to misunderstandings.

      The review notes: "Tannen's strengths are in pinpointing the dilemma, but when it comes to giving advice, she falters. In fact, the problem with a book like this is that the reader, if he takes it seriously, will come away paralyzed into speechlessness; the random ""um"" or ""ah"" carries too much weight."

The article was unilaterally pushed from draftspace (at Draft:Marriages of Pompey the Great) by User:Avilich recently, in relation to a deletion discussion (here).

  • Weak keep. I am sympathetic to the fact that the creator did not want to publish the article, but I can see no real legitimate reason to re-draftify or userfy the article. WP:Drafts specifically says that An article created in draftspace does not belong to the editor who created it, and any other user may edit, publish, redirect, merge or seek deletion of any draft. The article is not in such a bad state as to need draftification on its own merit, and there's nothing to stop people improving it in mainspace. That said, I don't care so much as to strongly object to userfying as a courtesy. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 19:43, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reuser-fy move to keep on 29 January 2023 as UndercoverClassicists work on this article is just too good to be deleted. But since the draft was released into article mainspace without the consent of the draft creator. Drafts should be given the time to develop since some editors might want to create/nominate an article they feel comfortable with either to DYK or GA. At least the draft creator could have been consulted before their draft was released into article main space.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Paradise Chronicle (talkcontribs) 02:35, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, but keep each article on his wives. I don't think there is a need for this synth article, which subject can be covered in both Pompey and articles about his wives. In addition, I think there is enough ground to create an article about Aemilia (wife of Pompey)—right now the only wife without an article. T8612 (talk) 09:27, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As Furius and Caecilius point out, nothing prevents this from being improved in article space, and frankly it's not that bad considering that this arose out of having one of the individual articles—likely the most substantial—nominated for deletion. Creating a page like this was the best alternative to deletion; deleting it, whether by turning it into a draft or something else, potentially eliminates the contents from the encyclopedia if the other article is deleted. P Aculeius (talk) 17:21, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But if the other articles are kept, there is no need to keep this one? T8612 (talk) 01:50, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If all of the wives were adequately covered elsewhere, then there would be no need to duplicate the material here, but given the number of them and how little is known about them—other than who they were related to—it still seems like a good idea to consolidate them into one article. P Aculeius (talk) 13:32, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree, as I said in the ANI, I like "Wives of ____" articles but they should not be used at the expense of individual articles about women, doing that sets a dangerous precedent about the coverage of women on Wikipedia.★Trekker (talk) 14:31, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it sets any precedent regarding the coverage of women—it's simply better to keep related material together when it's pretty skimpy and liable to be nominated for deletion, even if the ultimate result of the discussion is, as it has been in this instance, "keep". This is especially the case when so little is known about someone that most of the discussion concerns the other people to whom the subject was related, since that is a constant theme of deletion discussions (the lack of "inherited notability"). And even if the article on Antistia can be beefed up to avoid future deletion nominations, the fact that there are other wives about whom even less can be said—or at least has been written in other articles—is a strong argument to keep this one. P Aculeius (talk) 18:38, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thing is, before the Antistia article was expanded upon due to the AFD one could make the same claim about her as about Pompey's other wives, truth is that when it comes to ancient women there is often a lot of scholarly coverage which is burried and hard to find, I feel fairly certain that Aemilia could have a good article as well, but if we decide that its ok to have "Wives of __" articles instead of an individual article that does set a dangerous predecent in my opinion.★Trekker (talk) 21:13, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Now that the discussion on Antistia (wife of Pompey) has closed with Keep, this article needs even more work, since the Antistia section (currently almost identical with some of that article's sections) needs to be reworked as a WP:SUMMARYSTYLE distillation.

  • Strong Keep I will say that initially when looking at this article I was teetering around a delete opinion, however upon further research I would disagree. Firstly, I would like to say I completely understand the article is in a horrible state, however it is certainly not irreparable. I have numerous reasons to support this point. Firstly, there is a generally healthy article about this exact same individual on the Spanish Wikipedia, as seen Here. This article is highly beneficial to us as it provides numerous sources, although most if not all are in Spanish. Per this, firstly I believe asserting it could be a hoax is just not true. I personally checked the FDA filing for Anascorp available Here which confirms Alejandro Alagón Cano was an active participant in development. As per "Failing Wikipedia:NPROF" I would argue this is not the case. --- As per the criteria "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." Obviously this is not accurate in the current state of the article, however this can be fixed with further research and hopefully translation from some Spanish Wikipedia friends! In fact, I would argue that further articles could be written extending from Alejandro Alagón Cano. Did you know that when Anascorp was approved by the FDA for use in the United States in 2011, it was the first ever Latin American drug to reach agency approval. I would argue that is rather notable in itself. Additionally, Anascorp is mentioned in numerous reliable sources regarding various topics, including cost of medication in the United States and the lengthy process of approval it underwent. According to a Stanford University source, (available here,) the researches who sought to investigate Anascorp's effectiveness tested over 200 children by 2010 in which had become (at that time) the largest ever anti-venom clinical trial in the world! Following my research I am going to investigate further into writing up an article for [[Anascorp]] and as a member of Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron, I will personally commit myself to making an attempt to repair the state of Alejandro Alagón Cano. Thank you for your time reading this and I hope you have a good day. ✯✬✩InterestGather (talk) 14:31, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    None of those things can be used to demonstrate NPROF notability. The direct impact of the researcher must be discussed in independent, secondary coverage; having a drug approved by the FDA or the drug being tested in a trial are completely irrelevant if they aren't accompanied by significant commentary that describes the subject's involvement in those things.

Doesn't seem to be notable on his own without the toy company. I went in and removed as much promo as possible, but what's left doesn't have a claim to notability on its own. The "Entrepreneur Award" may sound impressive, but looking at the wiki article for the award shows that only one World Entrepreneur award is granted per year and it didn't go to the subject. In 2001, E&Y granted over 230 (I counted by hand so more or less) lesser "Entrepreneur Awards" of different kinds, including to the subject. I don't think that passes the "significant award" requirement for WP:ANYBIO.

Article PRODed with reason "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG.". Article dePRODed by SPA who added a few sources, none of which is both independent and in-depth. A link to GScholar shows a smattering of citations, but nothing out of the ordinary. The journal was established recently (2020) so at best this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. PROD reason still stands, hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 05:40, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    The DOAJ is a selective database. Web of Science indexing is only possible after min. two years of publishing, thus can be expected in June / July with the next publication of newly introduced journals.
    CDATP is one of the very few (only 2) diamond open access journals in the textile area and thus one of only two journals enabling free reading and free publication of their own results for researchers from low-income countries. Working myself in the textile area, I know that this is highly important for many colleagues.

  • Comment: DOAJ is only selective in the sense that they (try to) exclude predatory journals. Apart from that, it strives to include all OA journals. WoS indexing does not necessarily take 2 years. I know of journals that were included after 9 months. Whether or not this journal will be included remains to be seen, unfortunately my crystal ball is currently out of order. I appreciate your comment about the importance of this journal for your field, but unfortunately the opinions of WP editors are irrelevant for determining notability. What is needed are reliable sources that are independent of the journal and are more than just passing mentions. --Randykitty (talk) 12:14, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This comment is from my point of view biased, probably based on experience in science with larger scientific communities.
    Comment 1. "DOAJ it strives to include all OA journals" is not true. Any in-deep and independent source for this statement is missing. The DOAJ Procedure is clearly defined and not simple https://doaj.org/apply/guide/
    Comment 2. "WoS evaluation process duraction" - it can take up to 9 months, but one journal has to provide stable production at least with 3 issues, and this means, it has to exists at least 2 years before application. Check source https://clarivate.com/products/scientific-and-academic-research/research-discovery-and-workflow-solutions/web-of-science/core-collection/editorial-selection-process/editorial-selection-process/
    Comment 3. "To nothing out of the ordinary". From the point of view of bibliometrics, the subject of this journal is a narrow area, in some countries, these are named "small/narrow" subjects. It is not correct to compare publication activity and citation rates of journals from "narrow areas" with areas with larger scientific community (linguistics, informatics, chemistry). Source: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/asi.20936
    It might be interesting for you to make a training in evaluation of scientific production by Scival.com for instance.
    But the "out of ordinarity" of this journal is that, contrary to the 95% of the other diamond open access journals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_open_access) it is NOT comming from Latin-America, it is based in high salary country (Germany) and supports resarchers over the world with the compelete voluntary work of editors, reviewers and production team; providing peer-review quality. If this is not notable or recognizable by Wikipedia, then there is no worth to use Wikipedia at all. Hense Keep PikoBelo (talk) 21:53, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Added 3 conferences, one of these traditional, main event in the area (14-th joint int. conference Clotech), which publish selected papers of the contributors in the journal if they pass the peer review process.

Unnecessary WP:NOTDICDEF. Perhaps quite telling that the links to other types of stations (through station, branch-off station) also don't link to articles about that type of station, but to vaguely related articles which don't really explain these terms anyway. Anyway, not really a necessary or enlightening article, basically (also according to the source used in the artice[8]) intermediate stations are all stations between end stations. Well, yeah, that's quite obvious. Fram (talk) 08:44, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, article feels like a written version of Just a Minute: see how long you can write, without repetition, deviation or hesitation, on what is ultimately a plain and simple dictionary definition. Elemimele (talk) 13:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Keep. This is not a dictionary definition - you won't find it in a standard dictionary - but it is a very common railway term and a very common railway facility. In fact, the majority of stations are intermediate ones and that means they are different in significant ways from others such as termini, transfer stations and junctions. The fact that English Wikipedia is underdeveloped in this area of railway business, which is why some of the links don't yet have their own articles or article sections, is not a good reason for deletion; otherwise the subject area will never get covered. This article needs to grow and the links need to be developed; that's how Wikipedia gets improved. I'm willing to work on that with the cooperation of other interested editors. And taking the mick as per Elimimele is hardly a good encyclopaedic argument and fails the dictionary test as well. Bermicourt (talk) 13:22, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm well aware of our deficiencies in this area, as I'm the one who made Passenger train, Freight train, and Maintenance of way into standalone articles, created a number of articles that were missing for railroad maintenance of way equipment, and am responsible for the only such article to reach GA status (Train). I'm not saying this to brag, but to show that I am familiar with the topic area and feel confident in saying this doesn't need its own article, and instead should be incorporated into our existing train station article. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:07, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm sorry that this was seen as taking the mick. But it is a dictionary definition. It just says, in an incredibly long-winded way, that an intermediate station is a station that's intermediate between other stations. It's possible to write a useful history of such concepts as a passenger train, while maintenance of way is a subject that cries out for an encyclopaedia article, but it's impossible to write anything about intermediate stations that isn't just general stuff about stations. Intermediate stations are an inevitable feature of a rail system, and no more interesting as intermediates than a bus stop half way along a route. Articles that rely on extremely pedantic mini-distinctions between near-identical items don't improve the encyclopaedia. Elemimele (talk) 09:48, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For example, one source that could be used to expand this to a decent sized article has an entire chapter on the "Organization of Intermediate Station Operations" which covers their definition, responsibilities, passenger and freight operations, safety operations, train-receiving and dispatching and car-marshalling, operational plannning, equipment management and and personnel. So we're being a bit hasty condemning this as nothing more than an "dictionary definition" when is in fact a broad topic that easily merits an article. Bermicourt (talk) 13:43, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean this Communist China manual? Fram (talk) 14:52, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, but the text is the same as the British source it drew on. Try googling "intermediate station" and "train" and you'll get a gazillion hits, many related to the features of an intermediate station and how it's used. Here's another source that describes, among other things, the main operations at intermediate stations. And here are some university course notes that make frequent mention of intermediate stations and give a typical layout, so it's reached academia. In this source the modelling of intermediate stations is presented to the European Conference on CIS. It's pretty clear that there is a vast amount of material on the topic that could be used to expand the article. Bermicourt (talk) 17:19, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course if you're an academic or engineer you should know the principles of station design, but stuff like how to calculate track lengths, design of basic platforms and intermediate platforms for passengers in a station, that a passageway connecting them should be "no less than 2.5 m" wide, design of ordinary platforms and high platforms for freight, tables of parameters, etc. are too intricate for an encyclopedia (WP:NOTTEXTBOOK). What I'm reading in this chapter can still be covered in some ways at Train station, Railway platform, Freight yard, Catch siding, etc. There are also chapter sections on how to design high-speed stations, district stations, etc. that don't need separate articles either. Reywas92Talk 20:34, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/merge Seems like a few sentences could be merged to Train station or maybe Railway stop, but this is a pretty basic definition that wouldn't inform anyone who's been on a train before of anything new. I don't think there's a word in the manual linked by Fram that's actually specific to intermediate stations – dealing with lines, passengers, and freight applies to other stations too, and everything in here likewise seems kind of obvious that you should have safety procedures, communication equipment, shift plans, etc., all generic stuff perhaps for Rail transport operations. Reywas92Talk 15:25, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or redirect to Train station. I note that the term "intermediate station" is not present at either train station or Glossary of rail transport terms. There is no need for a standalone article when this can easily be defined in the train station article. Essentially anything you could say about intermediate stations would be redundant with the train station article, as the vast majority of train stations are intermediate stations. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:02, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Train station. Intermediate station is a preliminary and unjustified WP:SPINOFF. It belongs under Train station, under the same category as Terminus, though with a significantly lesser propensity to justify a WP:SPINOFF one day. When fitting Intermediate station in, please make note of the partial overlap of Intermediate station with Railway stop, belonging to another category. gidonb (talk) 21:16, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into train station. I'm sympathetic to the existence of this article but it can't stand on its own; an additional complication is that the German language has specific terms for concepts that are recognized in English but don't have specific analogues.

New user tried to delete content written by the subject herself but was reverted by another editor, thus tagged article for notability. The article has 18 sources and I've checked those. Two dead links (travelcommunicators.co.nz and www.magic.co.nz, none of which I would expect to have been in-depth reliable sources), one source made a single mention of the subject, and the remaining fifteen was content written by the subject. Hence, the sources present do not establish notability whatsoever, far from it. I've had a poke around whether there is anything out there about her and the only thing I could find is a recent promotional article by a real estate agent trying to sell her house. Everything else was written by the subject herself. Given that she's a prolific journalist, it might well be that my BEFORE failed because searches get swamped by those other results.

List of mammals of North America north of Mexico

List of mammals of North America north of Mexico (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

We have List of mammals of Canada, List of mammals of the United States, and List of mammals of North America. I don't think this division / grouping adds anything useful. Fram (talk) 08:17, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The main biomes in the world.
  • Keep This is recreating the original concept of the site "List of mammals of North America" listing species only north of Mexico. In the past, mammals of North America were divided into 2 very useful lists:
But some time ago someone spoiled first of these pages page by extending its geographical scope to south. That decision did not add anything useful, because pages listing mammals of Mexico and other southern areas already existed separately. Moreover number of species of the entire North America is enormously large, especially in tropics. Lumping so diverse species into one sack is not good idea. And this is the real reason of reduction of its scope to north.
North America is an artificial entity. It covers areas from Arctic to tropics, very different. Most of guides of mammals and other animals or plants treat North America north of Mexico as a whole. For example:
  • Kays, Roland W.; Wilson, Don E.. Mammals of North America
  • Burt, William Henry et al. A Field Guide to the Mammals. North America north of Mexico. Peterson Field Guides
  • National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America
  • Chandler S. Robins et al, A guide to field identification, Birds of North America
  • The Sibley Guide to Birds
All these books are about USA+Canada. And webpages, articles (see google)
Moreover borders between USA and Canada and Greenland are easier to pass then border between USA and Mexico.
List of mammals of North America (as a whole) is almost useless from a practical point of view. Far too many irrelevant species. And vice versa, numbers of species of separated USA and Canada are too low, they don't cover an entire area of interest. Darekk2 (talk) 12:25, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • And here are examples of actually quite similar pages:
Darekk2 (talk) 15:15, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I appreciate your intent, but unfortunately this is rather misguided. From a biogeographical point of view, there is no valid reason to separate Mexico and Central America from wider North America.
a) Central America is a valid subdivision as it is part of the Neotropical realm, but is still a key portion of the North American continent.
b) The Nearctic realm bisects deep into Mexico, forming an indivisible, integral extension of the biogeographical region which covers most of the US and Canada. This explicitly extends to biota as well (birds, bears, felids, ungulates etc.). A political border such as that of Mexico and the US being does not stop the exact same environments and animals being native far beyond either side, never mind that they can still migrate across it.
Why do many English speakers feel differently? There's a key cultural connection between both countries, and also an Anglo-centric desire to separate English-speaking America from Latin America. A simple reason why these books only cover the US and Canada is because they're published in English and therefore interested in English speaking markets, and those countries are the best known members of the Nearctic realm in their respective countries. Additionally, if they decide to cover Mexico to include another huge swathe of the Neactic realm, they are also forced to include tropical North American species, which are just as inherently North American as anything you'll find in New Jersey. That does not change the fact that the continent of North America inherently includes Central America and the Caribbean, and Nearctic North America will always include Mexico.
Also, I don't think these articles fit your argument.
Possible solution- if you're interested in keeping an antiquated view on North America alive despite the evidence, just combine the US and Canadian lists together. Ultimately, the key cause of most of this confusion is that eastern Mexico includes the confluence of both the Neotropical and Neartic realms, which makes separating them difficult. People don't seem to have a problem squishing all the biota of other continents together though, nor would this new list also not encounter issues with, as @Fram so dexterously put it, "(m)ixing the Arctic with Death Valley and the Everglades...". Same goes for the recently moved List of reptiles of North America north of Mexico and List of amphibians of North America north of Mexico articles. SuperTah (talk) 15:55, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Number of mammal species living in an entire North America is very approximately twice larger than north of Mexico. The same is with other animals. That makes things much more complicated. Those areas you refer to are political or other entities, but they are parts of continents. Southern Asia and Southern Africa are not so bad examples. However South and Western Australia are states of Australia, very well defined really. Darekk2 (talk) 17:20, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Here's perhaps where we get to the heart of the matter- by saying "entire North America", do you mean the US and Canada, or the entire continent of North America? Also, I am also wondering whether you are talking about northern Mexico as per Wikipedia's definition, as the same biogeographic region which includes the US, Canada and northern Mexico continues into central Mexico & the Valley of Mexico, up to the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. Out of curiosity, what complications do you see? As a side note, you'd expect that two countries' worth of species would outnumber that of a region of a single country, right?
  • Which brings us back to the articles- the US and Canada are not a singular political entity, which separates that potential listicle from the states and country faunal lists above. Southern Asia and Southern Africa are great examples of biogeographic regions, but as mentioned, the US and Canada are also not a singular biogeographic region- both are constituent pieces of the Nearctic biogeographic realm, which again, Mexico is inherently a significant part of. SuperTah (talk) 01:24, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is good question what is "North America" or for example "Europe". These terms obviously are defined more or less accurate, but saying "entire North America" I mean such school definition - appropriate geological plate - the geological North American plate in this case, without eastern Siberia, perhaps + Caribbean Plate + eastern part of Pacific Plate (Hawaii). Azores are on the verge of Europe and North America, I would treat them as Europe. Iceland is partially in North America, but this is European country. Greenland is politically in Europe, but geologically North America. Moreover it is similar to northern Canada and Alaska. But that all is off topic. North America north of Mexico is the same (whatever it is), but north of Mexico.
Regarding "complicated" - it is difficult to deal with such large number of species, in case of book to draw them all, add descriptions. And most of all, important species are hidden in such crowd of irrelevant species from tropics. Darekk2 (talk) 09:07, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reasoning based on geologic plates is valid (iffy on Hawaii), but the reason why I asked was to better understand the 'approximate number of species in North America vs northern Mexico' comment. I'd like to address two comments here~
a) Yes "north of Mexico" is definitive, but as per the Nearctic realm, it's like creating a list of mammals of the Brazilian Amazon instead a list for the whole Amazon, or a list for mammals from the Alps without France or Switzerland. From a geographic and biota point of view, the US and Canada are incomplete without Mexico.
b) There are a large number of species, so I understand the apprehension. However, I found "important species are hidden in such crowd of irrelevant species from tropics" quite telling. Tropical North America is more valid to the millions of people living there than temperate North America. If we're acknowledging the diversity of geologic plates, then there shouldn't be any dispute about which species are more North American than others, nor should we have lists dividing biogeographic zones based on convenience or cultural/political history.
I've looked into the precedents for continent faunal lists, and we have a bit of a mixed bag. There are lists for mammals of South America and Australia, which are completely dominated the Neotropical and Australasian realms respectively. Oceania (one realm) and Africa (1100 species, two realms) are served by categories, whereas Eurasia (three realms) has a mix of lists and categories. Personally, I think we should own the diversity of the continent, and not do unnecessary duplication. One potential solution is partitioning the Nearctic and Neotropical fauna within the article itself. Some mammals like coyotes, raccoons, jaguars and pumas are examples of fauna which overlap both biogeographic realms- this is likely to expand due to the Florida Everglades being part of the Neotropical realm. This should be expected, as it is a single continent after all. However, I see this as the most parsimonious solution to what is a somewhat long list- a list with four sections a) pan continental b) Nearctic c) Neotropical d) Extinct (which is probably unnecessary frankly, seeing as Quaternary Extinction Event exists). SuperTah (talk) 13:46, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Irrelevant from the point of view of people living in America north of Mexico or visiting that area. They want to know what is living there but not somewhere thousands kilometers or miles away. Such large list looks like useless chaos for them. Darekk2 (talk) 14:15, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Out of curiosity, wouldn't that be the purpose of the US and Canada mammal lists? The southern boundaries of Nearctic Mexico is as close to Denver as San Francisco, and is just as biologically related at that. I do think that reorganizing this list is in the original articles' best interest, and I'm willing to help you do that- I'll take the sections (revised to a) Transitional b) Nearctic c) Neotropical d) Introduced) to discuss over to that talk page.
    Regarding this article, biogeographically it doesn't work. This is a de-facto US/Canada mammal list, so those lists will have to be merged into this one to make this work and avoid the duplication of content. SuperTah (talk) 03:23, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Additional note: the List of birds of North America article is pan-continental, and provides a good precedent on how a many species from a diverse range of fauna can be formatted nicely in the same article. SuperTah (talk) 04:28, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • A content fork is not the solution to such situations. An RfC on the talk page of List of mammals of North America to decide on the scope of that page is the way to go, not creating more pages. Fram (talk) 14:19, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Useless as a list. We already have lists for Canada and the USA, which is all there is north of Mexico (other than St. Pierre and Miquelon) in North America.

  • This is not exactly true. It includes Greenland etc and does not duplicate existing topic as a whole, because it covers only part of North America. Moreover it restores the original scope of the article List of mammals of North America, which was only about North America north of Mexico once. Actually, List of mammals of North America should be reverted and renamed to List of mammals of North America north of Mexico, and List of mammals of North America created as a new article.
I don't know how this artice (List of mammals of North America north of Mexico) could be created using {{extract}}. This template looks like having something with dates. This article was created manually, by manual deleting all species not occuring north of Mexico and some of references, also adding few species and references. It took me half a day or longer (many hundreds species to review).
And by the way - someone added a lot species to the List of mammals of North America without any references, probably copying simply parts of List of mammals of Mexico and other articles about North American mammals. I think that such species should be speedy deleted. Moreover someone deleted some referenced species taken from MDD, I added some time ago. I don't uderstand that. I restored at least some of them yesterday.
And very sorry for deleting your comment. I did this somehow by mistake during edition and don't know how this could happen. That is very strange. Probably somehow during editing code and moving my own large comment using cut and paste options and repairing format. Darekk2 (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I looked it up myself, and not only is "Northern America" weakly sourced, it often includes Mexico in its coverage. Renaming to Northern America won't solve the issues pertaining to biogeography and duplication. SuperTah (talk) 14:00, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SuperTah, "pertaining to biogeography and duplication": definitely! Animals do not stop at borders! So this problem exists. It's a good comment for the intro and not clearly there. Thank you for pointing this out and for your other contributions to this discussion! Pertaining to the sourcing, "North America, north of Mexico" was included in my search.

  • Could people stop obsessing about whether the specific list title, or combination of geographic areas, is used in other places? The point is that we already have articles covering this material, this is a content fork, and we don't need that. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:07, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes and no- the content fork issue is fairly straightforward enough. However, the discussion turned essentially whether this de-facto US/Canada mammal list was WP:NOTE (i.e. if the grouping is valid both in literature and reasoning). Getting into the details of why that may or may not be was not only one of the arguments from the article creator, it's also helpful is deciding both whether this article should exist, and how to solve the original article's issues. Seems like the issue is settled anyway. SuperTah (talk) 13:27, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The list looks very much the same as the original article at List of mammals of North America, only difference here is that the title is called List of mammals of North America north of Mexico. We don’t need another article that looks like a duplicate of the article that I said before. --Vaco98 (talk) 15:22, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is not duplicate at all, but smaller area and much smaller number of species. A list similar to the List of mammals of North America in in years 2007-2020. Actually everything in that list from 2020 above is duplicate.Darekk2 (talk) 15:28, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • We usually maintain these lists at three different resolutions (at least): country, subcontinent, and continent. These are recognized and recognizable geographies. In cases like this, lists (and articles - very common just as well!) can absolutely have some repetition. A huge advantage of this system is that we can provide different levels of detail depending on the position in the geographical ladder. gidonb (talk) 15:16, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        • This is level intermediate between country and continent. Something like a subcontinent. Darekk2 (talk) 16:07, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not just "something like a subcontinent." This article is PRECISELY on the subcontinent of Northern America. The article is great. The name is VERY bad. It's a factor in the instability of the article. gidonb (talk) 18:57, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Clearly the existence of this article is not motivated by geography or biology, but simply by the perennial refusal to accept that Mexico is part of North America. It merely duplicates content already covered elsewhere, without being more useful or convenient. Tercer (talk) 08:50, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • You are lying. All field guides and thousands of sources are about North America north of Mexico. Darekk2 (talk) 09:28, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Tercer, all countries and territories from Panama, Aruba, Curacoa, Bonaire, and Trinidad & Tobago in the south to the northern edges of Greenland, Canada, and Alaska are in NORTH AMERICA. In other words, Mexico is centrally located in North America! Still, I see Mexicans sometimes express doubt about whether they are North Americans or not. It's a bit like Austrians who would be unsure whether they are Europeans. Really odd! After raising the concern, can you perhaps also explain its sources? gidonb (talk) 23:48, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        • And this is why this webpage is entitled "List of mammals of North America NORTH OF MEXICO". There is another list for entire North America - "List of mammals of North America". And Trinidad & Tobago, Aruba, Curacoa, and Bonaire are located on South American shelf and tectonic plate. Darekk2 (talk) 00:03, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Aruba, Curacoa, Bonaire, and Trinidad & Tobago are on the South American plate. The continents and subcontinents are primarily a taxonomy in HUMAN geography with only sources in plate tectonics, climatology, and -as an intermediate- topography. gidonb (talk) 00:19, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
            • The ASM Mammal Diversity Database treats these teritories as South America. Darekk2 (talk) 08:51, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because of the proximity to South America, this makes sense. Covered in my statement "primarily a taxonomy in HUMAN geography". In such a case, you write in the intro that specific countries and territories are covered under mammals (or whatever) of South America, even though they belong to North America (because "continents and subcontinents are primarily a taxonomy in HUMAN geography") with the sources, one of them you just cited! Don't lose in the process that humans are mammals too and that these articles are written for human consumption. gidonb (talk) 12:19, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To your other point, the idea that North America could start north of Mexico further feeds into fears that Mexicans sometimes express. As I warned, the name is a factor in the instability of the article. North America consists of three subcontinents: the Caribbean, Central America, and Northern America. ALL THREE ARE 100% NORTH AMERICA. Regardless of plates, climate, and other considerations. For Mexicans, being North American can be very important. We should respect that. gidonb (talk) 02:23, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
            • Nobody has said that North America starts north of Mexico. You're creating fiction all the time. Darekk2 (talk) 08:51, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I said that NORTH AMERICA STARTS ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF PANAMA AND ON THE CONTINENTAL SHELF OF SOUTH AMERICA. My message was that we should be sensitive to other humans when they express fears. I expressed proven concerns about the stability of this article. It's a valid and important article. I supported keeping it under a more stable name. As it seems, to no avail. gidonb (talk) 12:19, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think we must keep the Niko Defense League page. It's a political party and is a world wide movement of people who support Niko Omilana. It should stay. If it leaves then the Conservative Party and Labour Party must also leave. It will also be racism against black humans because you won't get rid of the English Defense League. Wikipedia should be a place of all articles, and it would be bad for Wikipedia if they become racist and remove the anti-racist organization. Anoymousgamer (talk) 19:25, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I'm employed by Maven so I won't edit the article directly, but I wanted to respond to this criticism of the current sourcing. I also want to highlight additional sources that the editor may not have had time to look for before deciding to nominate this article. I've seen in other deletion discussions that three sources are required to meet Wikipedia's notability standards, so I'll discuss three existing sources first. This coverage in Fortune is an in-depth profile that points out how Maven is the first billion dollar company focusing on women's health. This coverage in Techcrunch almost eight years pointed out how Maven launched the first telemedicine platform for women. This coverage in Fast Company in 2020 pointed out how Maven was named one of the ten most innovative companies in health care. The company is widely considered a medical pioneer, which should meet the standards of notability. For new sources, I invite you to consider this in-depth coverage from November in Techcrunch, pointing out how Maven is bucking the trend of struggling late stage companies by attracting further investor interest. And rather than just being a simple funding announcement, the in-depth additional reporting includes news of the company partnering with Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield to begin serving Medicare patients. That's a big deal. In October, CNBC did an extensive company profile about how the company is booming, while discussing the implications of Roe Vs. Wade being overturned on the company's business model. I looked up WP:ORGCRIT invoked above, and it says "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." All five sources are clearly independent and reliable, and the readers can see for themselves that the coverage is also significant.

  • Comment Regarding the lastest references supplied by the coi editor:
Ref 1 [26] by Stern and Mehta, 3 March 2020. It is a case study for internal use only by Harvard University. Its not designed as an endorsement of the company, its not been written that way and it states it clearly in the opening page. It is not same kind of financial case study that a commercial bank would make or a technology evaluation case study that a technology review company would create. A substantial amout of it comes from Kate Ryder from interviews, for example [27], from the website, for example costs of treatement and a substantial block of the document has been taken from "Maven Clinic White Paper". It is essentially a description of the company from when it was created to the types of problems it has faced to a description of telemedicine providers. It essentially a primary source and can't be used to define notability, so fails WP:SIRS.
Ref 2 [28] This is from a press-release. The same text appears on multiple sites. Fails WP:SIRS
Ref 3 [29] Same press-release. Fails WP:SIRS
Ref 4 [30] Lots of content take from founders blog, website and the same interview as abovr. Fails WP:ORGIND.
Ref 5 [31] PR. Not independent.

None of these satisfy true secondary sources that lifted straight from the company website. All of them, in one way of another fails WP:SIRS. scope_creepTalk 00:49, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This is a curious nomination, given the strong sourcing. The nominator's persistent efforts to gaslight other editors and summarily reject a plethora of independent, reliable in-depth sources is strange. Labeling every keep voter as COI removes my need to assume good faith in return. Let's take a deeper look at the nom's AfD history to see if we can figure out what's going on. I saw this company discussion article where he (I'm assuming gender based on his unpleasant and badgering temperment) voted to keep. [In the AfD discussion,] he acknowledged that Sunnova is a public company, and said it must be notable because it's large and international. OK - that's fine, but oddly, there are only two independent sources. Look at the NY Times coverage. Using Scope's argument above, phrases like "The company said" and "Sunnova executives argue" should disqualify this source, since it's based on interviews. Of course it's gaslighting, and Wikipedia says nothing about interviews in its notability guidelines, but I'm making a point so bear with me. The other source is based on funding news, and I never heard of Capital Monitor. It's not on the reliable sources board. Using Scope's arguments about funding news, this is routine coverage and should be rejected. That's it - that's all the independent sourcing. And this was a keep vote for Scope. I know about WP:OTHERSTUFF, but this is different, and should raise some eyebrows about the nom's notability judgement. Since the Sunnova keep vote is wildely inconsistent for Scope, based on his efforts to delete this article, experienced editors and AfD stalkers alike will have to think about what is likely happening here. Is it a shared account? Even worse, that nomination was immediately withdrawn after Scope voted. Looks like a nominate and "pay to keep" scheme. This is potentially worse than WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I reached out to Sunnova to see if they got an extortion letter after the article was nominated and will forward any evidence I can find, but they may be wary of getting attacked again. I also take exception to Beccanyr's odd comment that she looked up more sources and found press releases. How is that relevant? Plenty of good sources here in the article and in the discussion. The table shows good info. In any case, how does issuing a press release determine a company's notability? Gaslighting again, and a non-policy argument. Lastly, a lot of the company coverage comes in tandem with coverage of the founder, but there's also good in-depth coverage of others in the company, such as this Wall Street Journal piece [[32]]. A direct quote from that article "Since launching in 2014, Maven Clinic has become the world’s largest telemedicine provider for women’s and family health, supporting every aspect of reproductive care from preconception to early pediatrics." I'll wrap up by showing this Fast Company coverage which includes a founder's interview. All in all, the body of coverage makes this a clear keep. We can address the off-Wiki collaboration and gaslighting between the delete voters later. 68.5.3.227 (talk) 04:42, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's also repeating the tiresome fallacy that articles which rely entirely on quotes and information from the company/execs are still acceptable sources for the purposes of establishing notability.

  • Delete This is a company therefore WP:NCORP guidelines apply which requires references discussing the *company* in detail. WP:SIRS tells us that *each* reference must meet all the criteria for establishing notability, so two deep or significant sources containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. So that excludes sources that regurgitate the info provided by the company, quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews etc. None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability of the company, none of the "reviews" provide more than a brief mention of the company. Topic therefore fails GNG/NCORP. HighKing++ 11:49, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Central Valley groundwater pollution and/or Environmental issues in Fresno, California. I think we weren't seeing notability because it's actually a large, important, and long-standing problem, of which this one incident in one neighborhood was only part. And none of the sources call it "discolored water investigation". The larger series of events is definitely notable, and in close proximity to Fresno. The aquifer of the entire valley has suffered from pollution for years if not decades. These sources look pertinent, and although several of them are governmental, they may suggest some alternate search terms.

Unclear to me why corrosion of pipes inside houses would be an "environmental" issue? The groundwater was never considered the issue here? Nweil (talk) 17:15, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fresno's municipal water system uses ground water. It's something that would be blindingly obvious in California but not be spelled out until the coverage got to explainers in the national media. Also, a lot of hyperlocal coverage of pollution that uses another location name but is still quite close. Visalia comes to mind but there are others. As I recall it's the same aquifer. As for pipes -- I have no paid attention to whether the corroded pipes were inside or outside the house, but it doesn't really matter. The city water supply is not supposed to eat through plumbing. It's just that one way that lead can get into drinking water is if the pipes are older (thus made of lead) and the water is acidic. That is what happened in Flint. I just did a copy edit on Environmental issues in Fresno, California; it isn't comprehensive because that scope is too limited also, since the it's a Central Valley problem really, and I haven't looked at that article yet. But there is already a paragraph there about the discolored water. It would be trivial to add the rest of this material into that section. Elinruby (talk) 01:16, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Visalia for example is 44 miles from Fresno. Orosi is 30. Elinruby (talk) 01:35, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you should refer to the lawsuit documentation. The affected homeowners are claiming that their problems started when the surface water treatment plant came online in 2004. So not groundwater, it's water from the San Joaquin River. Also, with regards to lead, the Fresno water never exceeded EPA standard maximum levels. Nweil (talk) 05:07, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Its difficult for me to say there is any "environmental issue" happening when this type of thing is regulated by somewhat overlapping jurisdictions of multiple agencies (Department of Public Health, State Water Resources Control Board and the US Environmental Protection Agency) and none of them issued a violation to the city for anything related to this. Its pretty clear to me that this page was created as part of the class action lawsuit coming to a head (created in early September of last year and the hearings started a few weeks later). The person who created the page has really only worked on this page and I have concerns about WP:COI. If anything it should be merged into a currently nonexistent City of Fresno Department of Public Works page since its way more about the operation of the water system than anything else. Nweil (talk) 05:17, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I thought you said the cause was pipes inside houses. Look, I can look at the lawsuit documentation. But if your concern is the lawsuit, then I would assume you want to deny them a separate article (?) I'm suggesting a merge to another article, which would do that. I disagree with a couple of the other things you said, but let's stay focused Elinruby (talk) 07:01, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
followup after more reading Hmm the question of what and how to merge would remain. The City of Fresno seems eager to minimize any liability it might have and therefore isn't a reliable independent source. The concern about COI in this article looks well-founded though.
Sorting through the facts as best I can at the moment: The City of Fresno relies on groundwater and needs to solve that. The northeast water treatment plant (now closed for reasons that aren't clear) produced a mixture of surface water and groundwater. If the surface water was from the San Joaquin -- not verified but likely, based on geography -- its notoriety for pollution would be irrelevant, as most of the runoff pollution would take place downstream of there. On the other hand, if that plant was using groundwater all, it would be drawing from the edge of a highly polluted and depleted aquifer where it meets the Sierras. So I don't know whether to absolutely discount this lawsuit, and given the city's lack of transparency and somewhat specious explanations, I don't think I should. The primary importance of where pipes need to be replaced is whether the expense would be the city's, for example.
Yet the article as it stands relies heavily on a paywalled Fresno Bee article about a conversation on NextDoor. The Bee is definitely reliable, but whether everything said in that NextDoor conversation was accurate is another matter. The name I dislike was used by the city, who should know better. Residents weren't worried about the color but whether the water was "tainted." As an aside, red water might simply be caused by iron rust, so the color itself was not a problem if that is all it was. However, according to anybody involved, there were traces of more than iron in quite a few of the samples. (I think that I read that the standard for a water system is that less than 10% of samples should contain lead, and I think that was true. That might be why Nweil said lead was not an issue. I actually only mentioned Flint because somebody did further up, as an example of a notable water issue.) There are parallels, but I don't think this episode should have a separate article.
I think the proper weight for this incident is something like this: The city of Fresno attempted to mitigate its reliance on groundwater, a sound policy decision. However complaints and a lawsuit arose. (If we can determine the validity of the complaints, so much the better, but if not we stop there.) Pretty much this is already in Environmental issues in Fresno, California, although the wording should be checked to make sure that we don't seem to be validate it, since we don't know if it is valid or not, and the record-keeping and compliance problems should be mentioned. I am willing to do that checking. After that I would have no objection to deleting. As an aside I didn't see any mention of testing for nitrates, which I would expect. Did I miss something? Elinruby (talk) 19:13, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A rewrite would be needed, as the paragraph that is there is rather misleading. I can't do it at the moment and should perhaps pause to assess consensus. But that's my proposal. Elinruby (talk) 19:40, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think Environmental issues in Fresno, California has a lot of issues as well but I updated it with regards to the water pollution section. Feel free to review Nweil (talk) 18:03, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Environmental issues in Fresno, California has a lot of problems. I am thinking for example of deleting the uncited ambiguous sentence about radon out of the lead, unless you have a better idea. Your rewrite on the water pollution section is a definite improvement. Two things jumped out: I think we should mention that the lawsuit was dismissed on technical grounds. The homeowners couldn't prove who did the work on the meter installations, as I understand it. Just to prevent from giving the impression that their complaints were groundless. On the other hand, I thought the quotes were rather long and boring, maybe to the point of undue. I'll try to be more specific after pondering it a while.

Poorly organized article started by a new user. This article goes against the general criteria for outbreak articles followed by the wikiproject, and other users had previously decided against an article at Talk:Tornadoes of 2023. United States Man (talk) 02:53, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Multiple users in WP:Weather already was having a discussion about not creating an article. It does not follow WP:NWEATHER and is poorly organized. I wish speedy delete could occur, but unfortunately, it doesn't qualify for that. Elijahandskip (talk) 03:18, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment – I'm not going to try and make an argument against this, but i will say what multiple people here have already said: Making an article about it was decided against here. Poodle23 (talk) 13:47, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The event as a whole will probably be under a winter storm article, so its not like it won't be in an article. An article for just the tornadoes, though, is ridiculous. Please delete this and try again with a more notable event. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 15:17, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Only thing notable about this outbreak is an EF3 tornado that caused a tornado emergency and 6 injuries. This, however, is not enough to justify an article. RandomInfinity17 (talk) 23:07, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect To appropriate section on Tornadoes of 2023. No reason not to have a redirect. As an aside, if this was to be a winter storm article, shouldn’t someone make one? 71.125.62.146 (talk) 21:42, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete article does not pass WP:NWEATHER guidelines. Already had a discussion about being against the idea of creating an article about this tornado outbreak. Article is poorly organized and the only sign of notability is about the Pasadena tornado, but isn't enough for an article about this tornado outbreak. Article can be also said in Tornadoes of 2023#January 24–25. Tails Wx 21:50, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This was a tragic double murder but such terrible killings are far too common. I see no evidence of ongoing coverage or wider impact after the murders and the trial. I am sure that loved ones still mourn but that is not enough to justify an encyclopaedia article, or to establish notability of this crime. Cullen328 (talk) 07:11, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
