Article about an orchestra, with no credible claim to passing

self-published website about itself. As always, every musical ensemble is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because they exist -- they must have a claim of notability that passes a Wikipedia inclusion criterion, and real media coverage about them to support it, for an article to become earned.

Hi,

I have many issues with this page.

  1. It seems very promotional in tone. It seems the person-in-question is using Sikhism as a way to make money, mentioning private clientele and DVDs.
  2. I do not think Yoga is a part of Sikhism. I have seen this trend where some
    Hindus
    have tried to highjack the faith using self-described "converts" such as the one whose page is being proposed for deletion.
  3. There are zero reliable sources. In fact, the page seems to pass off the site "mrsikhnet" as the "sikhnet", where the latter would never mention things the former has (i.e. tout a vanity fair article; touting media coverage of self-described Sikhs is the antithesis of the philosophy)
  4. The name she has assumed, along with the one she gave her child, while of course it is no business of mine, are very offensive. I have never seen or known any Sikh who adopted the last name Khalsa or named their child Wahe Guru. I find these to be red flags as to the person-in-question's commitment to the faith.

  • Keep The article is a bit weak, but that's a reason to work on it, not delete it. Looking a the reasons for deletion:
  1. I disagree that this is an excessively promotional article. It's about someone in a business with high profile clients.
  2. Connection to Sikhism or lack or it is irrelevant to this discussion.
  3. There are reliable sources in the article, the Yoga Journal, for example, and there are many other sources available which mention her. See https://yogainternational.com/article/view/kundalinis-queen-gurmukh-kaur-khalsa for one.
  4. We don't delete articles because editors dislike subjects' names or the names they give their children. Meters (talk) 23:21, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, okay? And where is the basis for that being relevant to a person who espouses Sikh philosophy. Look at the
WP:Lede
where it is claimed this user is a follower of Sikhism, before going into their DVD collection.
It is very relevant. It is plastered all over the individual's page, and it has no basis. Either talk about their yoga without Sikhism (remove it), or leave it as-is and have your argument fall flat on its face. The page is obviously using the individual's purported faith as a key point.
yogainternational.com is not a reliable source. No source pertaining to yoga at that level is reliable. Can you show me a link where WP has discussed the sources you're describing and has determined them worthy enough to support notability? You're trying to allege one vanity fair article from 2009 is enough for notability? Others have been deleted for much less. I find your defense vacuous.
We don't make articles on people who use faiths they are not born into, in order to promote their yoga courses and DVDs, which are clearly on display in the lede and early on in this article. Especially when the faith has fifty-fold less adherents than either Hinduism or Islam, thereby creating a situation where people like yourself try to excuse offensive practices like this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.226.249.64 (talkcontribs) 23:33, July 30, 2017 (UTC)

  • CommentI'm open to being convinced that she is not notable, but I think there are sufficient sources available to show her notability. Again, the issue of Sikhism is irrelevant. We don't even mention it in her article (aside from a see also that should probably be removed). What she puts on her business's webpage does not determine whether her Wikipedia article should be deleted. Neither does her child's name. If there is material in the article that should not be there it can be removed, but that does not affect the notability of the subject. Meters (talk) 00:46, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - John Pack Lambert Fair enough that the HuffPo is blog-ish, however there are citations in the Los Angeles Times, Toronto Sun, New York Times, Los Angeles Magazine, Vogue Magazine, The Hindu, The Times of India, Vanity Fair, Yoga Journal. Your rationale is perplexing - does the HuffPo negate these other references and disqualify the subject's notability? Netherzone (talk)

  • Keep. In addition to the Art News article about her, there is also a New York Times article. Here is one of the numerous Italian articles about her. Her father was Peggy Guggenheim's son, Sindbad Vale (1923–1986) (See this), and her mother was Peggy Angela Vail (died 1988). The two married in 1957. See Vail, Karole P. B. Peggy Guggenheim: A Centennial Celebration Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation (1998), p. 78. ISBN: 0-8109-6914-9 Ms. Vail's bio and press release about her appointment from the museum points out that, in addition to the numerous exhibitions she has curated for more than two decades, she has written several publications: The Museum of Non-Objective Painting: Hilla Rebay and the Origins of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, was published in 2009 on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Guggenheim Museum in NY. Moholy-Nagy: Future Present, received an Honorable Mention in the 2017 Awards for Excellence of the Association of Art Museum Curators.

  • Comment – Regarding
    WP:AUD, The KQED source comprises coverage throughout Northern California, which is not a locality. It is "the northern portion of the U.S. state of California. Spanning the state's northernmost 48 counties" (see image). The KQED website states "KQED serves the people of Northern California...". As such, the KQED coverage certainly qualifies as regional coverage. Sure, Huffington Post is not the NYT, but it comprises national-level coverage in the United States.

  • Analysis - I examined the sources above and, first the HuffPost mentions them an immediate 2 times and it's only to introduce the organizer, beyond there it's simply someone's submitted video; the next one is a local news story (which acually cannot satisfy WP:CORP since it says anything "directly or indirectly about the company or where it talks about itself) and this is a good example here:
  • Nicole Martinez is teaching...."The building houses a...."...."The all-girls DJ class"...."in vast summer offerings"...."[She] is brimming with enthusiasm"...."Sol Collective was founded by"...."[She started it]"...."[She] receives substantial....funding...."...."[But she wasn't always a...."...."[She] went back to school...."...."[She discovered]...."...."One of the group's founding...."...."She sees herself as...."...."She and her new friends look...."...."[That's their] mission...."...."To listen to them, go to...."....
  • "[Her] new project...."...."One woman began a...."...."[She] reflects on...."...."....raise funds from...."....
  • "[Sol Collective] runs...."...."She started Sol Collective...."...."She was a...."...."But at the core of their mission"...."Sol Collective operates"....
  • "She is the executive director of....will talk about this weekend...."
  • (next one immediately after that is): "Sol Collective's director....spoke...", "[They] have been a gathering....", "Sol Collective....a place...and more....", "[Employee]....who worked with Sol Collective for five years says....It inspires me, he says....", "One of the ways....[They] have transformed people's lives...."...."They hosted...."...."The events highlight....comittment [they created]...."...."[They] have created a safe place"....For more information....visit [their webiste]
  • "Sol Collective celebrated...."...."[They] invited...."...."I asked [her] a few questions...."...."[They] have hosted...."....
  • Sol Collective is always buzzing....activity....[She opened] Sol Collective....She says (repeated a whopping 9 times)...."...."They came up with the idea...."...."Sol Collective brought the...."....[Founder] says she...."...., says [founder]....

One of the comments above states that a state publication wouldn't count as actually exclusively local, but this would in fact be the definition of state, as said by Wiktionary.

  • ....history of Sol Collective goes back....the program was able to perfect its dream....[Their] calender is already booked....[They] invite all members....For more information, [their website]"
  • Donors have pledged...."[They] rented a....", "Those events have included....", "....for a sale price of $406,000....", "....Sol’s revenue come from....events, fees from [members], grant and donations....", "[Founder] says she is aware....", "[They are] in the mortgage application process....", "....works to “promote economic justice and alleviate poverty...", "hear Sol Collective is purchasing....building"...."Sol Collective is on track to close....purchase....the group is...."
  • The SNR source above is actually starting with a literal:

...any local talent....Sol Collective and this isn't enough to satisfy WP:Notability's measures limited on such news. And so, if we apply everything that WP:Notability means, it means this is not enough of the significant coverage, no matter if there are 5 or 10 of the same published stories, WP:Not Advocacy (policy). SwisterTwister talk 01:58, 4 August 2017 (UTC) None of this is what WP:Notability actually means in multiple independent reliable coverage independent of the subject if that's still what the overall story is. There's one source that's labeled a supposed "overview content about the organization" yet that's where WP:CORP also says Except anything directly or indirectly about the company, wherever published or wherever it talks about itself and so since it's a a "financial deal", it's exactly that. To also quote WP:Notability again it says: Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability. However, sustained coverage is an indicator of notability. Since not one of these wasn't from either an Indiscriminate local journal or event journal, none of it can count as genuinely significant, and especially since WP:Not a newspaper (policy) to accept anything like it.

  • Comment – Cherry-picked quotes from news articles does not represent the full perspective and content of those articles. North America1000 04:57, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, no, I quoted the entire articles, hence the different sections and there's no evidence to suggest I picked anything but the relevant areas of concern. You're welcome to of course repost anything else that you consider relevant, but I specifically selected everything that had a clear promotional and given it's all of the above, that immediately makes the coverage not independent, reliable or significant since GNG needs coverage specifically about the subject. Since I quoted GNG along with my argument, what could possibly refute that if it's exactly what GNG means word for word? In fact, the quotes each above are numbered for each source. For example, since the HuffPost only mentions them twice, how else could that possibly be interpreted differently? SwisterTwister talk 05:04, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article has major verifiability issues. For example, the sources alleging Hitler considered Asians honorary Aryans are considered unreliable. The talk page is replete with comments about the unacceptably poor sourcing. Smooth alligator (talk) 18:23, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • The full title of the book mentioned above by Nevenko Bartulin is Honorary Aryans: National-Racial Identity and Protected Jews in the Independent State of Croatia, so it appears to be a specific study about a specific circumstance. The nominator, who appears to be familiar with the book, should say what Bartulin's conclusion is about the existence of the status of "Honorary Aryans" in Crotia. As for the lack of " historiographical studies", there are at least three (the two Bartulin mentioned and his own book) which can be used as sources, and we are not precluded from using non-book (but reliable) sources in our articles. Given that -- as noted below -- there are over 1000 results on Google, and keeping in mind that I certainly have seen the term mentioned in my general reading about the Nazi regime, the idea that there are not sources available seems unlikely to be true.

  • Keep on grounds that at least two scholarly studies specifically exist on the topic, addressing verifiability issues.
    That said, this article as currently written is quite awful. It has been compiled together in duffer's fashion from a large number of offhand derisory references to "honorary Aryan status," made by authors who never intended to imply that some kind of formal policy of "Honorary Aryan Status" existed in Nazi Germany (it did not.) I am not convinced that this article even needs to exist as a topic separate from e.g. Racial policy of Nazi Germany. TiC (talk) 22:29, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would have no problem if a re-written version of the article had the title surrounded by quotes, as in "Honorary Aryan", with a lede that said something on the order of "'Honorary Aryan' is an expression used to describe the unofficial status in Nazi Germany of some races and persons."

Going to AfD this, but it appears to be a quite invasive

WP:Hoax. There is an existing award, Radio Disney Music Award for Best Music Group, which is well sourced. I am unable to verify that "Band" has ever had an award. This award has infiltrated into many related articles, so a massive cleanup is needed should this be sustained as a hoax article. In most articles there appears both a "Group" and a "Band" award, with different winners so it is not just a group vs band synonym.☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 21:03, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

I feel in the prior AfD, everyone was distracted by the pressing issues of POV and

WP:ROUTINE
. Trump's list can also not be used to establish significant coverage since it merely mentions the incident with 77 other attacks and according to Swedish courts this wasn't terror or arson. Most sources are now outdated or incorrect, an issue that happens with news-inspired articles. There isn't anything to merge since officially no crime ever occurred.

  • Knowledgekid87 I respect your opinion at these discussions more than just about anyone else which is why I urge you to re-analyze the article. This article is partially about an arson that is not considered terrorism in Swedish courts and partially about an arrest that cannot be conclusively connected. I would say the arrest of the German ISIS agent is more notable than the arson.

  • @TheGracefulSlick: When I heard Donald Trump mention this Sweden thing I was glad it was swept under the rug as it appeared to be nothing. In this source though it states: "“Specifically, Mohammed G had been in contact with a person who committed an arson attack on a Shia community centre in Sweden on 11 October, by mid-September at the latest." [5] Wouldn't this be considered a reliable source? Even if ISIS wasn't involved the Sweden arson incident was brought up again which makes it harder to dismiss it as being non notable. I am open for convincing but reading that source was a factor for me. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:33, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Knowledgekid87: my take on it is, according to the source I provided in my rationale, there wasn't even a conviction for arson, let alone terrorism. The article seems to rely on the possible connection with "Mohammed G.". If the only thing notable about this is G., shouldn't the article be about him, not a technical arson that caused minimal damage? Gregory's statement that this was the first terror attack in Sweden is both not a claim for notability and is false according to Swedish courts. Unless he has some higher judicial powers that reverse court decisions, I'm not sure the article is focusing on the correct incident.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:01, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If it's about the arson, then it's a pointless article, as the damage was minimal and the alleged perpetrator acquitted. Wikipedia does not have articles on such minor crimes. If it's about the arrest in Germany, then make an article about that event (not sure if it meeds Wikipedia's notability guidelines though). As the article stands now it's

Our policies WP:What Wikipedia is not, WP:Deletion policy and WP:Promotion are explicitly clear what can and cannot be accepted, and business webhosting is one of them, take for example: 1 is an indiscriminate news "guide-like article, 2 is an self-service business profile, 3 is company website, 4 is a similarly worded indiscriminate guide, 5 is from an indiscriminate trade publisher as is 6 and 7; with 8 being about store locations, which the first policy explicitly says: "business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, products and services, sponsors, subdivisions ". Acceptiny shape or form of advertising makes us a search engine or advertiser, and that's explicitly what our fundamental pillars fight against, this is no differently. If we then consider what else exists about this company, see this and this, with the latter offering: 1-9, 11-13, are store locations and 10, 15-20, 21 is a self-service company profile, 22-23 are business listings so are once again guides before repeating back and forth on the next page. WP:Notability makes clear: A topic is presumed to be notable if it is not excluded under the WP:What Wikipedia not policy. The WMF has also made clear that we are not to accept any advertising including covert ones, so the 2 accounts here and here aren't any different. Also, as WP:Notability says, articles must be in notability-condition to be accepted otherwise, or else it's simply a misuse of Wikipedia mainspace.

Did you actually read the sources above? Sorry, no offense, and I try to
assume good faith, but it seems unlikely, per the timespan of this discussion thus far. Furthermore, regarding "These are the same exact sources posted here", the CNET article I posted above is not the same CNET source that is in the article, it's an entirely different article, and the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Weekly and Huntington Beach Independent articles I posted above are not in the article at all.

Speedy Keep is inapplicable given there are 3 policies in the nomination and the fact COI accounts is a factor, and I even linked news searches.

If you will read what I said, it says, "I...don't see an argument for deletion in the nomination".  Your reply here is that policies are mentioned in the nomination.  There are even more policies mentioned at WP:Policies and guidelines, but that doesn't make WP:Policies and guidelines an argument for deletion for Pedego Electric Bikes.  I can't refute an argument that doesn't exist.  However, given the extensive work your nomination has caused other editors to do, it is also not right that this AfD should be closed WP:NPASR when the worldwide scope of this topic is clear from the sources.  Yes, you've linked news searches, but there is no context for why you've done this.
COI accounts is not mentioned in the nomination and has nothing to do with this AfD, because even if they exist, which is hard to prove, the article has been edited recently. 
I also stated, "Nor do I see the evidence of using WP:BEFORE to confirm that there is a value to an AfD."  I don't understand why you'd put effort into that nomination and then skip the essential elements of preparing the community for a discussion.  It makes no sense to me.  Please withdraw this nomination.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:36, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Says who, the company? That claim in Huffington Post (whose reliability has been questioned by me and others above) is hyperlinked to the LA Times source. As for that article, just look at its structure. We have Company #1 and Company #2 that have joined forces. The cooperation has produced a new product, which is described, touted, and priced. The lesser known company's history is told, with their other products also mentioned and priced in passing, and we also have quotations from owners/spokespeople describe their plans for the future. Over half the article's paragraphs are of the type "company/owner/spokesman said...". No commentary by the article author, no opinions or any statements by a third party whatsoever. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but that's a press release to me, not a reliable secondary source which I'd like to have to cite such a bold assertion.
As for
WP:BEFORE, I had found other sources on Google, but I don't see much of a point in dissecting every three-paragraph report on a store opening or closing. If you have any better sources, feel free to drop a link. DaßWölf 01:10, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply

  • @
    WP:NOQUORUM? I would have expected this to be treated as a PROD, especially with two editors agreeing on deletion. (This guideline changed substantially a few months back, so you may be unaware of it.) ~ Rob13Talk 19:11, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    • @BU Rob13: The guideline says "If a nomination has received no comments from any editor besides the nominator and the article hasn't been declined for proposed deletion in the past, the closing administrator should treat the AfD nomination as an expired PROD." and "If a deletion discussion sees very little discussion even after being relisted several times, the administrator can close the discussion as soft delete and delete the page." (emphasis added both times) Here we have comments from another editor, so the first part does not fit and we had no relist, so the second part does not fit neither. Personally, I would not mind the guideline to read "no comments from any editor besides the nominator or only delete comments" but alas it doesn't. I am aware that my adherence to written policy and guidelines has been criticized just recently but I don't think it's appropriate to ignore the guideline when it was just worded like this a few months back.

  • Keep I concur with Ritchie333. He appeared on several notable shows and has continual ongoing press in Los Angeles Times, and is now publishing a book. According to Wiki guidelines, "if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." A news search brings back 4 LA Times feature articles; other newspaper articles can be found on the web. All the other co-hosts for the Selling NY, Million Dollar listing also have Wiki pages (those pages are written similarly) and most of the hosts of the same TV shows have Wiki pages deemed "notable" pursuant to community standards. If permitted, I can provide the reference links to all the other TV hosts with approved-Wiki articles. Also, he is co-writing a book with a New York times bestselling author (who has a wikipedia page) to be released in 2018. Mbarywiki (talk) 09:43, 31 July 2017 (UTC) Comment: I am somewhat new to Wikipedia. This is my first voting situation.

    sock puppetry is at play here, especially as it comes not long after Richie advised a keep result is likely if another keep vote is given. I think the admin who handles the AfD should be mindful that the support for keep isn't necessary, at this stage, as strong as the article editor would like it to be.

  • Comment I am a newbie... Some Wiki veterans have been teaching me through their positive example (Thank you Ritchie333.) As I understand it, this discussion is supposed to be about whether someone is notable, has sources, and how the article can be improved. According to Wiki guidelines, "if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." A news search brings back 4 LA Times feature articles, and several notable TV shows. This article subject has the required coverage from independent reliable sources. Several co-host and co-authors have independent Wiki pages. I understood this page is for discussion of the merits. Lets please discuss the merits (without personal attacks on private pages (talk)) and focus on the discussion at hand. If a topic received coverage in reliable sources and co-hosts all have standalone Wikipedia articles, seems clear that this article should be "presumed suitable for a stand-alone article." Lets focus on the merits. I am most grateful. Thank you. Mbarywiki (talk) 06:42, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think you just need to take a step back and let the process run its course; continually defending your own view when others don't absolutely agree with your position isn't all that helpful to achieving a fair consensus. Whilst it's a slight COI to post in an AfD for an article you are the primary author for, I think it's generally still allowed but you had a chance already to express your viewpoint so please just let it run.

  • Redirect to the artist's article (or selective merge of any claims that can be reliably sourced). This recording is not notable. It has not been widely reviewed or received substantial media coverage. Being aired a few times on BBC 6 Music is not sufficient to establish notability (being playlisted on daytime radio, perhaps - although the criteria in

Strong keep per

Notability is not temporary and the generally accepted principle that populated places are presumed notable. We have articles about countries and even whole empires that no longer exist, the abolition of the municipal authority is no reason to remove the article. The Finnish article looks like it has several viable sources that can be used to expand the current stub. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:29, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

Inverse Warburg effect

A seemingly fringe topic that appears to mainly been covered in non-reputable sources. Was deleted yesterday under G11, and had a G11 tag today before I removed it so that the article could get a wider discussion. Pinging

It probably does, which is why I sent the article to AfD rather than let the CSD tag in it stay (the current revision does not appear to be promotional anyway). As I'm not very familiar with the subject I don't actually have an opinion at all on the article's notability: consider this nomination to be procedural.
csdnew 08:51, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

It's a reliable source, and it meets
WP:MEDRS's requirement for a review article. However, it fails the notability requirement for being independent of the subject of the page, in that the authors of the source are also the authors of most of the work proposing this theory. Thus, it would serve well as a source for a mention within a page on a broader topic, but it does not establish notability for a standalone page. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:49, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

I think the sock/promo issue is a valid consideration in this AfD, but the rationale for a sock-block is weak, because the master account has not edited for two years, and the new account has only edited this year. But otherwise, I agree with you. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:49, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and protect-redirect, per RHaworth. It seems to me that the sourcing is strung together as
    WP:SYNTH as described by Jytdog, and that the scientific sourcing that is not synth is pretty much from one research group, and thus fails the notability requirement for sourcing that is independent. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:49, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
    ]

The comment 'sockpuppet' is totally unwarranted. I have never met or been in contact with Robert Cumming. I am a research scientist at a European Institution who is a co-author of the article referenced [7], which describes our independent discovery of the Inverse Warburg effect in Parkinson's Disease. - Moreover, other independent research groups, in particular ref. [6] and [17], have described the Inverse Warburg effect in their investigations. Hence, at least three distinct research groups are actively working on the topic. - Neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, are of singular importance. It is not a fringe issue. The topic is contoversial. The Inverse Warburg Effect, as is evident by reactions of various sources in Europe and the US, may indeed be a breakthrough in this field of research. Our own research activities have convinced us of the significance and the wide applicability of the concept. This is our primary motive for amending and elaborating on the entry submitted by Robert Cumming. In doing so, we think we are serving the public interest, there is no "CoI".

I'm sorry about the sockpuppet comments, then. But I hope that you will understand that using Wikipedia to draw attention to one's own research does have
conflict of interest problems, and such editing looks very much like situations that occur very frequently on Wikipedia where socking has occurred. (By the way, I say this as a research scientist myself in real life.) --Tryptofish (talk) 22:44, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply

No significant indication of notability. The song has only charted at 160 in France, sources are insufficient to establish notability. The Partyscene source is about a remixed version of the song, merely mentioning the original song, hence fails

WP:NSONG. Hayman30 (talk) 06:15, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
]

The song does not warrant its own article as it pretty much has no worthwhile information and should be merged to the artist's article. Almost all written sources are unnotable, one half of the sources, excluding charts and the Only EDM one since it's a blog, are non-English. You are merely adding all supposedly related sources you can find on Google for the sake of saving this article from deletion, as seen from your usage of MP3 download sites as sources and excessive insertion of digital retailer sources.

Where did you get the idea that Bubbling Under charts and positions outside the top 100 aren't acceptable? Guidelines clearly say a song charted on a national music chart (regardless of the position), is acceptable. "Significant coverage in reviews"? This topic has been the 'subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label'. - TheMagnificentist 08:21, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have considered SPEEDYing A7 this article about a publicist and tour manager. The two claims of significance in the introduction are:

  1. "in 2013 he was named a 'Hip Hop Tastemaker' by VIBE Magazine" - this is a rather wild interpretation of the source,
  2. "in 2016 Holder digitally integrated GOOD Music artist, Desiigner’s, Grammy nominated single Panda which received the RIAA certification of 4x platinum" - this is supported (and clarified) by a source that can be found in the reference section of the article, ie this HuffPost post. It may be a credible claim of significance, but it does not assert notability.

Staying on the article's reference section, it contains 4 sources that are centered on the topic:

  1. - a Twitter interview published on what appears to be a blog(?),
  2. - the aforementioned Huffington Post's Contributor post,
  3. - an article at AllHipHop,
  4. - a BuzzFeed Community post.

This may look like the beginning of something, but it should be noted that 3 of these 4 sources are written by the same person, David Bullock. According to the current version of his Wikipedia article, David Bullock is a publicist. Furthermore, his name appears in the "associated acts" field of the Quinelle Holder infobox. Let me just quote from

WP:GNG
:

If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.

I have done some

WP:BEFORE ("Quinelle Holder", "Coach Q Holder"...), and out of the 100+ Google results, I could not find anything of interest.

I am the guy who put the article in. I assume I can respond here but if not, advise and I will move it. I do not know why but John keeps getting ignored. If you look at the article on the show Maniac Mansion it has a discussion about Harry the Fly and yet it never says who plays him. Makes no sense. He was a semi regular on SCTV yet does not appear there. He is on almost every episode of Schitt's Creek and does not appear on the description of it. I think there is actually a chicken and egg problem Because he does not have a page, he is not mentioned. Because he is not mentioned you are considering it for deletion. It becomes a grave injustice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hotspur (talkcontribs) 20:05, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • For the record, a person has to be the subject of enough
    WP:NACTOR — see 5th Canadian Screen Awards/Television/Actors/Supporting Actor, Comedy — but no article can ever claim anything about its subject that inherently exempts the article from having to be properly referenced (which this isn't.) I will take a stab at cleaning it up later this evening or tomorrow — I can't right this minute, as I have to go out for a while shortly — but I want to be clear that it does need to be written and referenced better than this before it can be considered keepable. Inclusion in Wikipedia is conditional on sourceability, and is never an entitlement that anybody gets just for existing. Bearcat (talk) 23:28, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

Okay, I've gotten the article up to a standard that, while it still needs further expansion, is at least written neutrally and cites proper sources. Keep. Bearcat (talk) 00:29, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notability is obvious through referenced sources. Icarus of old (talk) 12:37, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He also has a credited part 'Drunk at Party' in Adventures in Babysitting if you want further references. Obviously I want it kept. Hotspur. —Preceding undated comment added 17:03, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We don't necessarily care about roles so minor that the character wasn't even given a name. Only certain types of roles count as notability claims at all, and "Drunk at Party" represents the kind that doesn't. Bearcat (talk) 15:46, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

John was there. He was there at Second City before the series and he was in the series. He was clumsily performing with Martin Short, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy at the beginning. He has been behind the scene directing and producing skit comedy pretty well forever. Yes he is eclipsed by them but he is a treasure of history and continuity. He is one of those people once you notice in things he grow to appreciate much more. Hotpsur July 25, 2017.

This isn't really a helpful comment. We keep or delete articles on the basis of whether a credible
reliable source coverage in media, not just whether the person was "there" or not. I've already improved the article to a more keepable standard, so it's not necessary to keep rhapsodizing about your personal appreciation of him as a performer — it's the article's content that will get it kept or deleted, not anybody's personal feelings one way or the other about his talent.

Could you please cut it out? Listing his entire filmography isn't going to make a difference here either — we only care about roles that meet one of two conditions: either his performance got written about by media, or he won or got nominated for an award for it. Comprehensively listing every single role he ever had. all the way down to uncredited extra walk-ons, is not going to aid in demonstrating any additional notability above and beyond the roles that actually meet the conditions. And anyway, as of right now we have four keep votes (including from both you and me) and no actual deletes, so the article is not actually on track for deletion and you don't need to keep grasping at straws to save it. Bearcat (talk) 16:11, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete The IMDB citation confirms the series was broadcast on Granada, and a source in Google Books says the pilot aired on ATV, so it seems to meet the standard of a national network series. Google Books has a few other passing references to the series, all saying how terrible it was. The Guardian, which was also based in Manchester, has one non-listing article.

Apologies, that's right. August 1976 according to one journalist's memoir. Though you'd never know it from walking down Deansgate, where there was a prominent Guardian sign on the commercial offices. Matt's talk 09:20, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The main TV listings in the Guardian's digital archive change from Granada to Thames/LWT on Friday 1st October 1976, iirc, which rather helps to date it.

Article about a concept that was coined by an individual practitioner, Stephen Gilligan, and is only sourced from his books. The article about Gilligan has just been deleted in an AfD, and as the concept does not appear to be notable independently of him, it would follow that this article should also be deleted. I have looked, mainly in Google Scholar, for third-party sources but not found anything that shows that the concept is used by people other than Gilligan. There are some passing references to SRP by other people, but always in connection with Gilligan, and there are no in-depth discussions of the model that I can find, outside Gilligan's own books. bonadea contributions talk 08:19, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

John Delaney presidential campaign, 2020

crystal ball whether this will actually go anywhere -- any number of things could happen between now and 2020 to make him not a candidate in the actual primaries. So for the time being, the place for any content about this is in his BLP, not in a standalone article. If he actually runs in the primaries in 2020, then there will be a reasonable basis for a standalone article, but we don't need one of these to immediately exist in 2017 for every single person who says they plan to run for president three years from now. Bearcat (talk) 01:40, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

Well, we have an article on
campaign from the last election, and that lasted only two months, received only a handful of endorsements and achieved no recognition from the public at large. Delaney is a member of Congress, so I think he already has a leg up on Lessig. It also should be noted that he doesn't say he's planning to run for President. He says he's running for president. In the present tense. He has a website and a logo and a committee and staff and everything. This is a campaign right now, not just in 2019 and 2020. MAINEiac4434 (talk) 01:50, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
]
The difference between "planning to run for president" and "running for president" is not determined by the words one uses to express the intent — it's determined by the fact that since the actual primary process won't even start until 2019, the planning vs. running distinction is a completely moot point right now. There's no primary process for him to register in yet; there are no debates happening yet; there is nothing for him to do yet except say he's running, and that is not in and of itself enough to cross the planning vs. running line. There's nothing for us to say about this as of today except "he says he's running, the end."
The length of Lessig's campaign has nothing to do with anything, either: the primary process was underway and Lessig registered in it, and that's a very different thing than stating one's intentions two full years before the process even begins to get organized at all. The more comparable example to this, rather, is Dwayne Johnson, who does not have one of these as of yet, and rightly shouldn't since there's nothing of substance to say about it yet. As of today, the correct place for any content about this is in Delaney's main biography, not in a standalone spinoff — if he registers as an official candidate once the primary process begins in 2019, then one of these will be warranted, but right now there's nothing substantive to be said about it yet. Bearcat (talk) 02:19, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
These are all good points. However, when do we deem the primary process to have started? January 1, 2019? I'm genuinely curious. I also disagree that there's 'nothing for him to do yet'. He could go to the early primary states, host town halls, give policy speeches, meet with local party officials. These are all things candidates do in a primary campaign before the actual primaries and debates. The only difference is, Delaney would be doing it way sooner than anyone else (assuming no one else declares in the near future). MAINEiac4434 (talk) 02:33, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He could just drop the whole thing in about a year or so. I'll support expanding the article when there is actually something to expand. There is little of substantial to make a whole article for it.

  • Your comments upthread made the argument that the candidate might do things, so we therefore need an article.  No, that means we might need an article.  Wikipedia can wait for the future, at which point we don't have to guess what will happen, and we might choose another way to cover the issue than on a new article.  Unscintillating (talk) 18:36, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak and Tentative Keep I think it is rash to judge this as unlikely to to go anywhere (although I will concede, I personally will hedge my dividends on his campaign failing to garner him the nomination, my personal prediction is not a credible source for Wikipedia to write-off his prospects prematurely). Additionally, let's not presume he will do nothing anytime soon until we have a long enough period of time to actually base such a judgement upon. Editors initially stated that there would be little to write about with Trump's ongojng "reelection campaign", yet he has already held seven rallies and a major fundraiser in the past few months. This is a campaign launched by an incumbent congressman. We can always merge in a month or so if it becomes apparent/evident that this article will otherwise remain a stub for the next few years.
