The NBA Summer League is an exhibition held annually. Wikipedia is not a news source and this article is just a collection of game scores and player statistics. User:Namiba 18:33, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment There are multiple articles on NBA summer league seasons, so maybe this should be a bundled nomination. I don't think one NBA summer league season is more notable than another. My general feeling is that there always is some reporting out there on these events, and that any discussion about their notability will depend on how people interpret WP:ROUTINE.

Pointing out that we do not have a rule against sources in Dutch. See below! gidonb (talk) 17:35, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The coverage in motor press listed in the article is just the beginning. A Google search suggests that there is much more. Local press – we have no rule against that – has him covered. This is a LIST of articles in the local press. Regional press also has him covered. This is a LIST of articles in the regional press. National press: I found just one article in the Algemeen Dagblad (one of the two Dutch most-read newspapers) clearly about him, it's in the references, and it is behind a paywall. With or without it, the sourcing per WP:NEXIST is pretty darn good! My only hesitation against keep is that I see on the talk page of nom a WP:BLUDGEONING warning. Please don't do that under here! gidonb (talk) 13:27, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article is very short; has no citations apart from two links, one of which does not appear to have any information about the subject. (Note: I am quite new to nominating pages for deletion so I apologise if I have done this the wrong way). Blanchey (talk) 20:19, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unless reliable independent sources devoting significant coverage of this person can be found. Currently, this is an unreferenced biography of a living person, which is a policy violation. The external links are not independent and are of negligible value. Cullen328 (talk) 02:17, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Cullen328: The article is no longer an unsourced BLP (though I agree with you on non-notability). VickKiang (talk) 01:49, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is a WP:BLP with no inline citations, with the current external links being non-independent. My WP:BEFORE search could not find reliable, independent, and non-trivial sources demonstrating a passing of WP:NBASIC or other NBIO criteria. VickKiang (talk) 05:01, 25 January 2023 (UTC) I stand by my vote. (Note: I have also altered my comment's format) I am still at delete despite the improvements one week ago. This new reference is a short one sentence mention, this reference appears to be a short routine announcement that mentions Martin three times, once while listing current reporters, and then in a short paragraph. The reference from The Guardian, while reliable, mentions Martin once, TV and radio presenter Paul Coia is to replace Martin Collins as the drivetime host of London's Smooth Radio. I do not believe these sources meet non-triviality per WP:NBASIC or other NBIO criteria referred below (presumably also including WP:CREATIVE and WP:ANYBIO), but this is of course my opinion. Thanks.

  • Comment I stand by my recommendation to delete. There is a complete lack of significant coverage of Collins in the three references now in the article, and the third reference lacks independence.

  • Delete although a mention could be made at Massage#Massage_tools. This device has a general name of "scalp massager". I suspect that "orgasmatron" is a brand name, and seems to be not known beyond the one article here. Even check amazon.au, these devices are known as scalp massagers. Lamona (talk) 04:11, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Yes, this is a brand name. Not only does this thing lack significant coverage, there is even another, completely different massage device with a different purpose which is also named Orgasmatron.[1] BTW there is a disambiguation page at Orgasmatron, and if this article is deleted, the link at the DAB page should be removed. -- MelanieN (talk) 01:44, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Noting that Head massage redirects to the poorly-referenced Champissage, which is a very particular regionalized form of head massage, I would merge the nominated article with Champissage under the title of Head massage and call it a stub on the larger (and clearly notable) topic.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Former footballer and now businessperson that does not seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Searches in Arabic using the name from his Instagram account ("وائل رمضان") only seem to yield sources about the Syrian actor with the same name. According to Football Database and Playmaker Stats, he never played a game and the Transfermarkt source cited only has U21 Dutch appearances. The only info I can find on him is on his own website, which is obviously not an independent source. The Nessma source cited looks like a blog and is only a basic transfer announcement, stating nothing more than the clubs involved in the transfer, that he is of Tunisian descent and that he is a left-back. Not enough to pass GNG on its own. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 21:00, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately you did not do proper research. First of all his name in Arabic is differently spelled when searching for articles, his name is Wael Romdhane (which is the Tunisian-Arabic dialect version of وائل رمضان. If you translate that you'll see that his last name in Arabic means ramadan. In Tunisia the people named after that holy month for the muslims have a different version for their name, like Ben Romdhane or Romdhani. Both options give results. For the second option; Romdhani you'll find the article of Nessma Sport TV. And in case you don't know: Nessma TV is the biggest TV channel in North-Africa and the Maghreb countries, so go ahead and look for Nessma. So, for your information this is not a nonse blog but an official TV Media announcement which you would have understand if you knew about Nessma TV. This article is important, since USBG made a transition from 2018/2019, got a new owner and signed those players from abroad for a lot of money for the Tunisian competion. That's also when they started to play a more important role in the Tunisian Ligue 1. So those signings are parte of their history and transition from lower league team to serious Tunisian Ligue 1 team. Hopefully you understand it now. Hans Footballscout2023 (talk) 21:20, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please can you link to some significant coverage of Romdhane? Fair enough that Nessma is a reliable source if it is indeed a massive TV channel but neither of the sources that you have used are acceptable as one is a transfer announcement and the other is Transfermarkt, which is unreliable per WP:TRANSFERMARKT. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 21:30, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 21:43, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @GiantSnowman@Spiderone Guys I respect your opinion but I think you're underestimating TransferMarkt and the link with Football these days. These days clubs use the data of transfermarkt during their initial scouting procedures. I checked your previous discussions and I feel that your information there is outdated. Transfermarkt has become a business itself now. They have data scouts which generate and validate the information. If someone comes up with a suggestion, they have to provide the sources and the data analyst will do his due-dilligence. You can search for the processes and see how it has changed in the last couple years. Also read this (https://www.transfermarkt.com/intern/datenpflegeGuide).
    Secondly, regarding the information of Nessma TV. It is a massive and huge channel known in the whole North-African and Arab world (Pretty similar to Skysports or something like that) So they made the official announcement of his transfer and also found an interview on live tv with him on their official pages. (https://www.facebook.com/sportnessma/videos/2255444554721173/) I'm wondering if SkySports makes an official announcement of a transfer and do a live interview with news articles would you still ask? Both sources TM and Nessma are reliable sources and should just accept it and not being looking for racist excuses about an arab culture. I think it's pretty clear now. No further questions asked. Hans Footballscout2023 (talk) 22:25, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Transfermarkt is not a reliable source - and transfer news is not 'significant' coverage. GiantSnowman 22:27, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Nonse, you didn't even do your research about Transfermarkt. Your information is outdated. It doesn't work like that anymore. Transfermarkt has become a businesse with data analysts who do their due-dilligence. Unfortunately you don't want to learn and develop yourself. So sad that you're so ignorant and also belittling the Arab news since you don't seem to understand it or do proper research. Hans Footballscout2023 (talk) 22:33, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SPORTBASIC clearly states Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. so, yes, Transfermarkt is excluded regardless of its reliability. The Nessma source is just a basic transfer announcement with no depth to build a biography from. Even if it were BBC or Sky Sports, it would still be unacceptable as it does not meet SPORTBASIC's requirement for multiple published secondary sources showing non-trivial coverage. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 22:44, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do Not Delete Transfermarkt and Nessma are both reliable sources. Hans Footballscout2023 (talk) 22:27, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No Reason to deletete this article: I have done my research regarding your previous discussions about Transfermarkt not being a reliable source and it's definitely lacking. WP:TRANSFERMARKT Actually it should be part of every professional's page. How can you agree on Soccerway and WorldFootballnet and other bad sources as a decent source while the biggest source for everyone in the whole Footballindustry is by far Transfermarkt. If you guys do not have the knowledge regarding that industry or did not do your research than also should not be the one to say you think the sources are not reliable. First do you research and as I found out, your latest research regarding Transfermarkt dates from 2013! It is for sure time to update. The footballindustry has exploded in the last decade and nowadays Transfermarkt plays a big role for every scout, club and professional in the industry. Most clubs their scouting systems are depending of TM also some clubs their annual financial statements are based on the MV of transfermarkt. So be careful guys, you're way behind schedule. This article and it's sources are perfectly fine you should just understand that and stop being ignorant. Same applies for the other articles of other Tunisian players who played in their competition. If you don't know the sources that's fine I am willing to explain them for you since your Arab competition and language knowledge is not as good as mine. Hans Footballscout2023 (talk) 14:23, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And, again, WP:SPORTBASIC clearly states Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. so, yes, Transfermarkt is excluded regardless of its reliability. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 15:03, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And, again you didn't even do your research. Remain ignorant and a know-it-all. You still don't add any value to the knowledge of this football industry, country, competition and football club. While as an industry expert I tried to update you guys on the newest developments. Apparently your Transfermarkt research dates from 2013. What a shame. Also don't forget to remove almost every single page of a football player with soccerway or worldfootballnet. Those websites are not used by any particular scouts, football clubs or federations for their research on Football players, while Transfermarkt is. Hans Footballscout2023 (talk) 15:26, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hans Footballscout2023, please stop arguing. User:Spiderone is an IMPORTANT resource for Wikipedia. His attention is needed elsewhere. gidonb (talk) 15:34, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Gidonb@SpideroneI am definitely not arguing. You guys just do not possess the football industry knowledge. Your discussions regarding Transfermarkt are from 2013 so you're basically a decade behind us. You accept pages of players with ironically only a soccerway or worldfootballnet as a resource but not transfermarkt which is used by the whole industry, clubs for financial and scouting purposes. Would have been better if you worked closer with transfermarkt and both had more knowledge about that.
Furthermore you were belittling and mocking their Arab TV News (It is the biggest in North-African and Maghreb, Arabic world) page as a blog and not reliable. While it's actually similar to SkySports and BBC which you guys as well accepted as a resource. You're definitely not neutral and already have a prejudice and also lack the knowledge regarding the industry. So just accept my help and be thankfull that you were taught stuff you did not know and that was not in your attention at all first. All the best.

This is off-topic and disruptive now. Have you got any significant news coverage from multiple sources, excluding sports database sites, or have you not? Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 16:11, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is not off-topic. You're not making use of Transfermarkt for no good reason, your still building on the same discussions that you had about Transfermarkt in 2013. But the whole use of it, it's environment and everything around it changed in a decade obviously and you're still ignorant about it. That's why I insisted of using this source. All the other significant news articles and interviews are already previously mentioned (Nessma Sport and TV Live interview) So you should just make use of that. Hans Footballscout2023 (talk) 16:18, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I tried to explain that you're just applying double standards when we're talking about Western Football Players and Non-Western Football Players and their competitions. Over here in Europe it is enough to mention SkySports,FoxSports,BBC or even Club Websites and when we are talking about Non-Western Countries all of a sudden a source similar to SkySports is not enough. Come on guys it is 2023, time to wake up now. Hans Footballscout2023 (talk) 16:23, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will copy my above comment verbatim. Even if it were BBC or Sky Sports, it would still be unacceptable as it does not meet SPORTBASIC's requirement for multiple published secondary sources showing non-trivial coverage. We do not need your permission to delete articles. Unless you can come up with multiple news articles dedicating significant coverage (generally, multiple paragraphs of prose text). I note that you still have not brought in any sources other than the same 2 that we started with, one being a transfer announcement and another being a stats database. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 16:27, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This one is straightforward. At Achilles '29, he only played in U21, not on the main squad. Next, he transferred to US Ben Guerdane in the Tunisian first league and also never played in the first squad. He left after a month. gidonb (talk) 15:20, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Do not Delete. Get your facts straight. Newsarticles and interviews says he signed in May 2019. How can you say he left after a month? He was one of their new presidents signings from abroad with the Brazilian and Egyptian players as well. Also not true, he was on the bench for CAF Confederations Cup but didn't play due an injury. Still with the other players of USBG is a part of their transition in 2019 from being a Ligue 2 Tunisia club to playing in the CAF Confederations Cup. You should have done better research.

Off-topic discussion regarding Transfermarkt which would be better placed at WP:RSN, not here
OK, so you lasted 3 months in Tunisia. Either way, you do not meet the threshold of notability. gidonb (talk)
  • @Gidonb who's 'you' mate? We're talking about this guy from US Ben Guerdane like the other players I wrote the articles for. I did proper research and found a lot information. I am am not related to this subject. So don't you dare to make those accusations. And what's the threshold of notability? Both sources cover the story perfectly. Hans Footballscout2023 (talk) 18:02, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's not an accusation. It's my conclusion based on creating this article on Nlwiki and arguing under your own name there, adding info. Nlwiki, not known for quality, to say the least, also deleted this. gidonb (talk) 18:17, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Here is clear proof of what Gidonb is saying. The person that created the Nlwiki article was called 'WaelRomdhane-Info' then decided to change their username after attention was drawn to the fact that they were self-promoting. They then argued about it here under a different name. Self-promotion is quite often the only likely reason for someone vehemently defending an article which can never be expanded beyond a 2-sentence stub and that clearly fails WP:SPORTBASIC by a country mile. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 19:00, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is not clear proof at all mate. That could be anyone using the username based on that person trying to frame it. I don't understand what they were arguing about since it is not in English. Also the sources that I used for this article now were based on the news articles regarding US Ben Guerdane as a club since I have been following them closely the last couple years so I decided that I wanted to make the articles to complete their history. It's weird that apparently someone tried to use his full name as a username and argue about it. I am from Sweden and my name is Hansson, I am specialized in the scouting of players in Western but also in Arabic countries and watched their competitions closely. For that reason this is a subject that a have much knowledge about. However I feel offended that you're trying to frame me for someone who previously tried to make an article and argued about that. I don't even understand Dutch so I find it all pretty interesting. Hope the next time you try to get your facts right before you're making such random accusations. Hans Footballscout2023 (talk) 19:29, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Spiderone the only reason for defending the article is actually that I found a lot of other articles with the worst sources ever like, Soccerway and Worldfootballnet. In comparison with those Transfermarkt is the best thing that ever happened for the football industry. I hope you guys did your research in the meantime and got a better understanding of TM in this industry. Furthermore Nessma was a good addition since you guys allowed SkySports and BBC as a source. So for me the only reason for sticking to this stub is that it is important for the history of Tunisian and arab football that we get more knowledge available about their players and history. In my opinion it seems that it would be nice to have a small overview of all the players. I started with those players from US Ben Guerdane because I watched that team closely since their transition in 2018/2019 and did some scouting as well. Hope you all have a better understanding now about it, because for me I would defend all the articles from all the players like that. Hans Footballscout2023 (talk) 19:45, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but I don't buy into any of that. Subsequent edits were made by a Hans. This is your consistent alter ego. Another username you used at Nlwiki was PietjePreciesDerks, who argues in the same style as you do here. gidonb (talk) 20:47, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's a very rude and attacking approach of you. Let me tell you something son, that does not scare me. You can write down all the BS stories and try to be funny but I have no idea what you're talking about. As I said I wanted to contribute by bringing Transfermarkt to the attention since you all have been sleeping on it since 2013. After a decade you have still no idea what the importance is in the Football Industry. I think I made my point clear. Aside from that I don't know all those names you're mentioning, I don't even understand Dutch lol. And for the record I'm not arguing in a particular style I'm trying to give you guys a wake up call that your approach of working is outdated and you're just a group of friends agreeing on everything together. That's why Wikipedia will never be taken seriously. I'm very sorry for the people who are working day and night to make it a better place and I feel sad for them that because of you it will never be achieved. Next time make sure you check the IP-address to locate it. Then you would have known that I'm from Stockholm. Anyway, all the best and hopefully this will open up your closeminded thoughts...

That was not the concern at all. The concern from beginning till now is that you guys are avoiding all the discussions about Transfermarkt. You still carry on with that outdated information about TM and you're running a decade behind. All the developments in the football industry made Transfermarkt a major source these days and you can't deny that. I felt that I had to bring this up now.

It's all incorrect. We have agreed that Transfermarkt hasn't changed. More importantly for your case, and please let it sink this time, we have pointed out to you time and again that even if we thought Transfermarkt was a wonderful source of data (we do not!), you would still be not notable. This is because Transfermarkt is a database and for the General Notability Guideline you would need significant coverage. That's not something that is to be found even in great databases. In other words, your entire argumentation (using the word loosely) is pointless. gidonb (talk) 13:25, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Whether Transfermarkt is considered reliable or not is being (re-)discussed elsewhere. But Spiderone already mentioned this at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wael Romdhane: WP:SPORTBASIC, one of the criteria for establishing notability of a sportsperson, states: "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources."

  • I don’t get the point of deletion if it is an existing school. I can detest I’m currently a student. Wikinerd881 (talk) 03:03, 1 February 2023‎ (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia uses a notability test to determine whether an organization, such as a school, warrants its own article:

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. [...] The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability. Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization. Such coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization.

The problem isn't whether or not it exists, it's whether or not it's notable enough. Organizations, including schools, must pass Wikipedia's notability criteria to merit an article.

An interview is a primary source; you need to cite secondary sources. To quote WP:ORG,
"A primary source is original material that is close to an event, and is often an account written by people who are directly involved. Primary sources cannot be used to establish notability. In a business setting, frequently encountered primary sources include
  • corporate annual or financial reports, proxy statements,
  • memoirs or interviews by executives,
  • public announcements of corporate actions (press releases),
  • court filings, patent applications,
  • government audit or inspection reports,
  • customer testimonials or complaints,

    No, the news article is about an event. It involves 40 students graduating from the school, but it isn't notable because of the school. It's notable because they're overseas workers who finished an online course despite COVID. The article doesn't actually discuss or describe the school itself.

Make-up artist, actress and stuntwoman. But she does not meet our notability criteria. As an actress, she's only acted in short films or has held very minor roles ("Pretty disco dancer" is my favorite). She's been on stage once but apparently, the critics panned her performance and that unflattering line should probably be dropped from the article if it avoids deletion. The current refs are almost all links to various databases (12 out of 17 by my count). Her best claim to fame is that she wrote and directed a short film which was shortlisted for a (not particularly notable) award. This leads to three references that simply mention her name. All in all, I see no significant coverage in reliable sources. Pichpich (talk) 19:21, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. No indication of WP:SIGCOV. A search in mainstream national news sources (like in the Irish Times, the Irish Examiner, on RTÉ, etc) returns absolutely nothing. Not even passing mentions. The only mainstream media source in which the subject is seemingly mentioned even in passing is that theatre review in the Irish Independent. A search in industry news sources, like the Irish Film & Television Network (which will typically name-drop even normal jobbing actors in news updates), returns only two trivial/passing mentions. As noted in the nom, that we are relying almost entirely on ROTM database entries (and passing mentions) strongly suggests that WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG are not met.

  • Delete No substantive sources. This is someone who is credited on minor films with roles like "Additional Make-Up Trainee Zoe Gibney". The short-list for the Virgin Media award might indicate that Gibney may be on the way to greater things; then again, that might turn out to be the high point. In any case, notability has not yet been achieved. (p.s. I am unable to search on Irish newspapers, so will check back in case someone finds sources that I cannot.)

East Polish Soviet Socialist Republic

The marginal idea of Jan Ciechanowicz, a Polish activist in Lithuania, was supported by him and his ephemeral Polish Party for Human Rights, which was not even registered in the USSR. The idea was expressed only in the party's program, and was never supported by any concrete action. The party, moreover, probably did not include many people, except the founder. Suggestions that Gorbachev or Jaruzelski supported the idea can be put between fairy tales.

The article itself is erroneous, since this "republic" was intended by the author to include all the lands that belonged to Poland before World War II and were later incorporated into the USSR, that is, part of Lithuania with Vilnius, Western Belarus and Western Ukraine with Lviv. Because of this, I do not suggest a merge with the Jan Ciechanowicz article.

The notion should not be confused with Vilnius autonomy, which was an actual political idea. Marcelus (talk) 18:49, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak merge to Jan Ciechanowicz. Interesting historical trivia but likely fails WP:GNG (sources in the article barely meet WP:SIGCOV with regards to it and are also barely reliable). My BEFORE found only two passing mentions in reliable scholarly works. See also ongoing discussion at pl:Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/artykuły/2023:01:31:Wschodniopolska_Socjalistyczna_Republika_Radziecka. Right now I am seeing this as, well, interesting historical trivial that is a bit below notability treshold for a stand-alone article, but deserves to be mentioned in another article and possibly redirected there (note that AFAIK the term doesn't exist in English discourse outside this Wikipedia entry; the translation is literal and technically correct but ORish on the level that English Wikipedia is the only place to use it). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:33, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or redirect Most of this is WP:OR and unsourced. It also doesn't pass WP:LISTN as separately notable from the main character list. It doesn't make sense to split this out as its own article, as the show is literally called The Sopranos and is about the family. It would be like having a "list of Marvel superheroes" in addition to a "list of Marvel characters" -- they are the same thing.

List of important publications in theoretical computer science

List of important publications in theoretical computer science (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

It is quite possible that such a list could be encyclopedic - I wouldn't be surprised if it could be shown that this topic, in theory, meets WP:LISTN (which is likely true for many, if not all, fields of science). But the proper way to create such lists is to start with sources listing, well, "important publications in theoretical computer science".

Instead, what we have here is pure WP:OR, a mostly random and unreferenced list of works that are "important" according to random editors and unclear inclusion criteria. What few references there are go to show the notability of some works cited, but not the notability of such list as a grouping.

There are problems with structure - for example, "Arora & Barak's Computational Complexity and Goldreich's Computational Complexity" are added as a single entry (despite being separate works) because of a single review that reviewed both works.

Worse, the inclusion of some works here is pretty bizarre, demonstrating OR nature of this list and not respecting even the vague inclusion criteria that are mentioned in the lead. To name just two problematic examples, the last position on the list, Hehner's Practical Theory of Programming doesn't appear particularly influential in my BEFORE at all (GScholar shows ~350 citations, no reviews and no indication of any awards). Even worse is the inclusion of the paper Proving Assertions about Parallel Programs Ashcroft, Edward A. (1975), which even the very list nominated here describes as " It did not receive much attention" and GScholar shows it has just a ~200 citations - this pretty much looks like just an "average" paper. Putting such works in the same list as Turing's On computable numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem (i.e. the work that introduced the concept of the Turing's proof and has a 5-digit citaiton number according to GS) seems, well, very ORish.

To conclude, if anyone can find some sources that demonstrate this topic meets LISTN, maybe it could be rescued after some major pruning/referencing, but IMHO the current mess deserves only WP:TNTing. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:16, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. There are indeed sources that list the most important papers and books published in computer science, which would cover this article and its siblings List of important publications in computer science and List of important publications in concurrent, parallel, and distributed computing. (And as you surmise, there are articles like this for other sciences, such as List of important publications in mathematics, List of important publications in chemistry, List of important publications in physics, etc., all of which share the same Topic creator/Breakthrough/Influence set of criteria.) One list is found in Harry R. Lewis, Ideas That Created the Future: Classic Papers of Computer Science, MIT Press, 2021. There is the ACM Classic Books series, the result of a poll of ACM members. There is the Communications of the ACM 25th anniversary edition in 1983, which reprinted famous papers that had appeared in it. And I'm sure there are others.

    @Dream Focus This is not the only complaint. The main complain is that 100% entries there are WP:OR.

    Right - and then this needs to be WP:TNTed and rewritten from scratch, as I said in my OP. Realistically, a few entries from the current list may likely end up being shown to be notable, and if someone does a major rewrite during this AfD, we may end up not even "deleting" this formally.

Your first source doesn't even remotely deal with the topic of important theoretical computer science publications. A search for "books" revealed 15 results, none of which are any kind of survey of important publications (why not just give us a page number?), and even if it were, this would be one random author's opinion on the matter, not enough to sustain such a list. Your second source is WP:UGC. Type in any topic and you'll get a list of "The 20 best books on <insert random topic here>"...lists which contain a lot more than 20, and are just random book recommendations from random people, sorted by topic.

After taking a look at WP:AUTHOR - i see that she has been cited by a few peers, but it's not substantial. I dont think she passes other criteria items listed in WP:AUTHOR.

    Also, she is one of the editors of the journal Biography, per the official website, which is an acceptable source per item #8 of Wikipedia:Notability (academics)#Specific criteria notes. Her position might be a contributing factor towards satisfying criterion #1 of WP:NACADEMIC - depending on if Biography is a "major well-established academic journal in their subject area". Bridget (talk) 19:43, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    C8 also requires chief editorship. Biography fluctuates between two and five coeditors, none designated as head editor, and almost all of them are from the sponsoring department (UH's Center for Biographical Research). This indicates the publication is a shared responsibility of CBR faculty rather than anything with hierarchical editorship (although if anyone was at the top it would be the founding editor George Simson), so C8 would not apply.

  • Comment: He does seem to have been covered many times in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, although I haven't read those articles carefully enough to see if they are in-depth or independent enough to satisfy WP:GNG. Even though he is a failed candidate and this is clearly a promotional biography of a living person, he still might be notable and we shouldn't jump to conclusions based on the current state of the article.
QuintinK (talk) 03:42, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
From what I can find, the articles seem to cover his advertising methods...not him. "Lawyer Ed Bernstein is a fixture on local television, with his ubiquitous commercials and his weekly talk show. But though you see him every day, there’s a lot about Bernstein you probably don’t know" [7]https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/enough-said-call-ed-bernstein-a-pioneer-of-legal-advertising/
A delete and re-write of this article is needed at a bare minimum. In the current state, it's just an advertisement probably written by marketing people. Samuel R Jenkins (talk) 03:51, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Having a bit of local coverage in local-interest contexts isn't necessarily a free pass over WP:GNG in and of itself. GNG isn't just "count the media hits you can find and keep anybody who surpasses an arbitrary number", but also takes into account questions of depth, geographic and temporal ranges, and the overarching national or international significance of the context in which the person is getting covered. So a person isn't necessarily going to clear GNG just for having the expected local coverage in local-interest contexts, like an unsuccessful election campaign or a local television talk show.

  • Delete. The introduction states that "Edward M. Bernstein is a prominent Southern Nevada attorney, philanthropist, politician, and television talk show host." Let's analyze these claims. I have always found User:Bearian/Standards#Non-notability to be helpful when considering attorneys. While not official policy, Bernstein does not appear to meet any of these that could indicate there is enough out there to meet notability. The article does not cover his philanthropy and as much as I love my fellow Democrats, challenging John Ensign in a fairly normal election does not contribute to notability. The closest he could come is the radio show, but unlike candidate/show host/successful person Willie Wilson, it does not appear to be nationally syndicated and is purely local. The article also includes a lot of tactics used to mask the lack of notability. It lists where Bernstein is admitted to practice law (a list which conflicts with his own website). It lists various local honors with no context as to their significance. It even lists various celebrities who have appeared on his radio show. DeleteMpen320 (talk) 23:50, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is a follow up to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of South Park Elementary staff (2nd nomination) (I'd nominate all relevant lists in one nomination but I don't know how; the remaining ones are List of students at South Park Elementary and the List of recurring South Park characters). Just like with the aforementioned list that was just redirected to List of South Park characters, I think all the other lists need to share the same fate due to failing WP:LISTN and containing unnecessary WP:FANCRUFTy plot details and nothing but. One list for characters from this show sufficies (if there is anything anyone wants to merge now or in the future, it will be preserved in the article's history).

Note: if this is closed as a redirect just like the previous AfD was, I plan on boldly redirecting the other two lists rather than having two more likely repetitive discussions at AfD unless there are valid arguments against such a course of action presented here.

  • I'll copy over my comment from the talk page to bring to light the larger issue here: "There's no real logic as to where information on secondary characters in South Park appears on Wikipedia -- for an extreme example, Liane Cartman has her own page, a section of the page for Eric Cartman, an entry on "list of South Park characters," and an entry on this page; all four places duplicate information and diverge in what they emphasize or consider current. It would make sense for someone to systematically go through all the South Park character pages and decide which "level" each character deserves, merge all the info there, and create redirects." The problem goes beyond whether this particular page is redundant or overly long; the problem is that, while Wikipedia has chosen to have hundreds of pages about the TV show South Park--which is perfectly in line with the depth of coverage given to other shows with a similar amount of episodes and secondary media coverage---there is no organization to those pages as a whole and no guideline as to where any particular kind of information is supposed to go. Deleting just one page will barely begin to address issues of duplicated content & people just adding lines to multiple pages in an haphazard fashion every time a new episode airs; a larger-scale revision and guideline is called for.

  • Redirect to List of South Park characters - To briefly summarize my argument at the prior, related AFD mentioned in the nomination, the actual prominent characters are already covered on the main South Park character list, and the ones that are not are very minor characters should not be listed, making this a redundant spinout of that main character list. I advocated Deletion for the previous AFD, and am still fine with that here, honestly, but since consensus there showed that most people would prefer it at least being Redirected, I will go with that here. Rorshacma (talk) 16:00, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional article on a non-notable subject. There is no secondary sourcing on this subject whatsoever. The writing was promotional (there's more in the history), and the links were primary and in many cases didn't even involve the subject. The PROD was denied by the main editor, but I'll repeat what I said in it: "There are no reliable secondary sources listed here; the best we have is an interview on an eco website and a blog post--the rest is organizational, primary, and often doesn't even mention the subject at all. The books aren't verified by reviews or other secondary sources, they're self-published, and they don't see to confer any kind of notability. Some promotional and unverified passages and a linkfarm were already removed, but the entire article should really be nuked as a BLP violation, given the sourcing."

  • Comment. Google Translate says that Al Itrah means "Do not subtract" or "I don't subtract". I assume that it is a theological term or someone's name. The station's name IBN TV or the organization name AL-Itrah Foundation might be a better name for the article. https://iqna.ir/sw/news/3474408/wasifu-mfupi-wa-sheikh-hassan-mwalupa includes the text "Fatema currently hosts a successful empowerment show on IBN-TV Africa called’ Educate, Empower & Inspire’ – a platform she uses to inspire those around her." https://iqna.ir/sw/news/3474408/wasifu-mfupi-wa-sheikh-hassan-mwalupa includes the text "Sheikh Mwalupa aliandaa warsha na kozi mbali mbali kwa waalimu kutoka taasisi mbali mbali ili kuwawezesha wajiboresha kitaaluma. Hadi wakati wa kifo chake, alikuwa akirekodi vipindi katika Televisheni ya IBN TV Africa na pia alikuwa akisomesha kwa njia ya intaneti katika Bilal Muslim Mission ya Kenya.

Poorly written highly NPOV. Better to scrap it and start over. UtherSRG (talk) 02:39, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - per WP:TNT. The topic itself is notable, but the article is unacceptably written, and lacks balance and depth; additionally it does not conform to our WP:NPOV guidelines. It was not ready for article space when the creator moved it from draft space. Blow it up and start over, as it currently is written like tabloid material, rather than an encyclopedia article. Netherzone (talk) 02:50, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There's an article in there, but "organized law-breaking" is not how we start it. TNT and get a much better intro, with stats and an NPOV discussion about crime in general in the country. Oaktree b (talk) 03:26, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify - important topic. I suspect that the police often *are* the criminals, so it might not be as NNPOV as it seems. However it needs better organization and more explanation. I did a quick copy-edit just to make the text a little less impenetrable, but I also had to tag it fairly heavily. I took a quick look at the references and didn't see anything egregious, but it's been a while since I have done anything about Uganda. Our coverage there is very scanty though, as I recall. Elinruby (talk) 05:05, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: the article is already written, it just needs some polishing up. I agree that it is skewed heavily against the police and government, but I believe it just needs to be rewritten. Akdulj (talk) 20:20, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how a 16-month-old individual can be independently notable; notability is not inherited, and the only content is a family tree, which alone cannot sustain an article (WP:NOTGENEALOGY). All sources appear to be tabloid or non-substantial coverage, and given the subject's youth, sources satisfying WP:GNG are unlikely to exist at this time. Complex/Rational 00:51, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In light of some of the comments below, I believe redirection to Princess Beatrice is reasonable. I still think she is too young for there to exist enough independent content to sustain a standalone article, but such coverage will exist in due time.

  • Redirect to Princess Beatrice? She's only famous for being born. She's 11th in the line of succession, so that's a bust for GNG. Her birth is covered, nothing about her as a person (and even if there was, she's 2 yrs old. Toddlers rarely if ever do anything for GNG. I mean we can revisit if she reinvents the wheel or something.) Oaktree b (talk) 01:03, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as clearly not notable. Elinruby (talk) 12:01, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. She's not notable because she's related to someone. She's notable because she's tenth in line to one of the most notable thrones in the world. Plenty of coverage. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:15, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest a Redirect to her mother as a useful ATD, because she is a plausible search term, but we should avoid having articles on people as young as she currently is unless absolutely necessary in my view. RobinCarmody (talk) 19:52, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Necrothesp and Partofthemachine. Those listed among the upper numbers at Succession to the British throne are notable upon birth and receive considerable publicity.

  • Weak Redirect. Her age should not be a factor in this discussion. Nor who she is related to. We should simply assess if she meets WP:GNG. I think she doesn't, as she is only notable for one event, which is her birth, see WP:BLP1E but I predict she will be notable soon. Redirect to her closest notable relative.

  • Delete per WP:NOTGENEALOGY, WP:NPERSON, and WP:GNG. After a comprehensive search that took me most of the day, I’m afraid I couldn’t find sufficient reliable independent sources to establish notability. Serratra (talk) 02:57, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

      • Liz, I'm curious too. Drmies (talk) 22:02, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        • Drmies, for the past 3-4 weeks, Serratra's pattern has been to show up at AFDs and vote the opposite of where the majority "vote" is heading. So, his random "Keeps" when everyone else is saying "Delete" (and vice versa) have caused some unnecessary discussion relistings. I guess he has been blocked as a sockpuppet now but I thought he was just trolling, throwing a monkeywrench into a lot of AFD discussions. But he knew all of the appropriate lingo so most editors tried to dialogue with him about his opinions but he never returned to engage in a proper discussion. Liz Read! Talk! 05:06, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
          • Liz, I was so busy striking through the comments and reverting them where possible that I wasn't really looking for a pattern, though I did see a few where they just went along with the one comment that was already there. I also didn't look to see how much time they spent between edits, and it doesn't really matter anyway: it's all vacuous. Yes, they're blocked, and yes, a few of those discussions were relisted and/or closed, so it is possible that they managed to derail the process. But you look at a lot of these, and you've seen them at work now--they're persistent, but a warned admin counts for two; next time, feel free to drop me a line, or to add to the SPI.
