A person can technically pass GNG and still fail
ten-year test for enduring significance. Our job is not to keep articles about everybody who happens to get their name into the current news cycle — our job is to keep articles about people who accomplished something significant enough that people will still be looking for an article about them in 2028, like holding a notable political office rather than just running for one and losing and garnering a bit of BLP1E human interest coverage in the moment that fades out as soon as they lose. Bearcat (talk) 13:25, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply

True, but since we don't have a
WP:CRYSTALBALL, I think it is difficult to say in this instance whether or not there will be enduring significance. After all, the kid isn't even in high school yet. Who knows what will come in the future? --BrianCUA (talk) 11:44, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
Usually, the community treats
WP:CRYSTAL the other way - that we don't make assumptions about what the subject may or may not do in the future, or what elections they may or may not win in the future. As I wrote below, any pertinent information about the subject can be placed in the article about the election. Taking a fresh look at the page, there is a case that some of the information could be created in a page entitled Teenage political candidates or something similar that fits under Youth Politics because that is what most of the current content is about. --Enos733 (talk) 15:51, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
As pointed out by Enos733, CRYSTAL works the other way. We don't keep articles about people who haven't cleared our notability standards just because of what they might achieve in the future — we would have to keep an article about every single person living on this planet if "but they might accomplish something more notable in the future" were a basis for inclusion in and of itself. Rather, we keep or delete articles based on what's already true today, and if they do achieve something more notable and encyclopedic in the future, then we permit recreation because the notability equation will have changed.

  • Redirect to
    WP:BLP1E. While there is a certain novelty of a 14 year old running for statewide office, any important information can be added to the page about the election. I do remain convinced that verifiable biographical information can be added to the election pages (more than the frequent one line description and that editors can add additional prose about the context and issues of the campaign). --Enos733 (talk) 19:11, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply

  • Weak delete, two articles, spaced two years apart, in The Economic Times seem to point to significant coverage; however, they both seem to be PR pieces. The other sources don't seem to establish notability either. Enterprisey (talk!) 05:30, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Rereading my comment, it is ambiguous about whether "the other sources" refers to only the sources in the article. I meant it as "all sources I found while searching with various search engines".
    Anyway, to go back through the two sources: the 2016 article ("Track your driver real-time with Locus") is a PR piece as far as I can see, and the 2018 article ("This Bangalore-based startup promises to solve all inefficiencies for a logistics company") looks better, although still written in a promotional style (making it not an IS) - "Locus.sh is a state-of-the-art decision-making platform which optimizes logistics operations to provide consistency, efficiency and transparency", for example.
    If someone else points out sources that meet CORPDEPTH, I'll definitely reconsider. Enterprisey (talk!) 01:10, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Thank you once again for allowing me to put forward explanation for reconsideration.

Locus is one of the tops AI startups in the logistics optimization arena with operations mainly in India. It has 75 employees working from the two offices of Locus.sh( www.locus.sh) situated in Bangalore and Mumbai India. When Locus page went live on Wikipedia, and the Locus team, as well as the entire ecosystem, got to know about it, it was considered as the biggest brand success of 2018. After it been deleted, we have been left with absolute embarrassment and brand erosion and hence the attempt of the respected community to consider its restoration. Please note that no given point in Locus tried to use Wikipedia for the company's promotion. It is just a reflection of acknowledgment and indeed notability of Locus brand.

I have done my due diligence to provide the following references and third-party validation for Locus. Locus operations are in Bangalore India but registered in the US. Most of the validation and recommendations are from the Indian context. I am happy to provide further information, clear any doubts or bring more facts and figures that you may find missing in my submission.Locus.sh is founded by Nishith Rastogi who is recognized by Forbes Asia 30 under 30 for the entrepreneurial work at Locus.sh. Locus is recently recognized as AI game changer by NASSCOM. Locus.sh is also the winner of the prestigious Aegis Graham Bell Award for Data Science Innovations. Details enclosed

Locus has indeed appeared in over 200 articles and credible mentions. Happy to provide the complete list for everyone's review. However, the notable ones are provided as follows with complete detail on the publication/mention/other sources/reference awards and recognition.

Once again in all due faith in the respected voters, Wikipedia community, and the contributors. I am proud of Locus and to see my brand being deleted as "Non-Notable" is a huge concern and hence my humble request to all to please do check the content and context provided. I am grateful to each one of you for investing your time in considering Locus's case.

  • Delete per
    WP:NOTPROMOTION The intent of the article is clearly to promote the company and its products. Pranay 0709 who self-identifies as from the brand team of Locus [7] writes that the deletion has left us with serious brand erosion and repercussions across our ecosystem. [8] Well, we don't care. We're an encyclopedia. Notable companies don't need a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia needs articles (about notable subjects), not the other way around. If a brand suffers from NOT having an article, then it shouldn't have one. The number of sources is artificially inflated, and for the most part, those sources are redundant. Seven sources for "They raised $2.75 million in 2016 through series A funding and $4 million in 2018 through Pre-series B funding" is ridiculous. The recognition section is absurdly inflated. For example, "Locus was featured in the Top 100 Startups To Watch in 2017." is sourced to an "article" on the website of a "Recruitment Specialist", sutrahr.com. The Aegis Graham Bell Award in the Data Science category is a non-notable award by a school and the Forbes ’n Under n’ a perennial source of non-notable people is not an award the company has received. After removing all the inappropriate content, like the list of customers, funding rounds, job descriptions and other companies the founders were involved in, almost nothing would be left. If this company somehow manages to make an impact and actually achieve its stated goal to automate all the human decisions involved in sending a package, there will likely be sufficient in-depth, independent reporting to write an encyclopedic article.
    The socking, failure to properly declare a CoI and failure acknowledge paid contributions gives me no confidence that it is possible to maintain a neutrally worded article about this company. Vexations (talk) 18:15, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply

Pranay has not submitted the article of Locus. He has certainly though made the request for restoration. I see a totally different user who submitted the article on Wikipedia. I don't understand why can't Pranay raise a request of restoration? Has he any given point in time tried to hide his identity??? Why can't you love the brand you work for and leave no stone upturn to ensure itbis not damaged. We all have every right to share views. I don't agree that all references provided by few folks here are redundant. Here is someone like Pranay who is absolutely honest about his intentions and we are punishing him for being honest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.59.78.87 (talk) 10:53, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep While the blatant promotional intent above biased me against this article, the sources actually look pretty good, with a number having reasonably focused depth of coverage. See these already-cited articles:
Admittedly, these all have a tone of over-enthusiastic hype, but they seem independent. I, too, feel the desire to delete this just to spite the annoying marketers, but I don't think that's they way we do things. Daask (talk) 22:29, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • https://www.analyticsindiamag.com/start-up-of-the-week-locus-driving-logistics-with-data-driven-algorithms/ The author, Srishti Deoras, is billed as a "Sr. Content Strategist", not an analyst or reporter. So, what does a "Content Strategist" do? Well, one of them describes it as "A content strategist works to understand business goals and user needs, then helps plan, develop and deliver clear, relevant content that brings the two together." [1] In other words, the user (Locus) paid analyticsindiamag to write an "article" to meet Locus' business needs. analyticsindiamag is anything but an independent source. It's been bought and paid for by the subject of the article. If you like, I can go through the other sources, but I think you get the point: the sources are promotional and not independent.

Go right ahead. Does Analytics India Magazine have (published) editorial guidelines? Let's see them. Remember, this is a company that says about itself "Want to advertise with us? Or find out how else we can work with your brand?" "Work with your brand" Hmmm... Is Analytics India Magazine an independent, reliable source?

  • Comment I've looked at the new sources and it strikes me that those arguing to Keep haven't gotten their heads around the concept of "Intellectual Independence" as per
    WP:ORGIND
    . It states 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.
Looking at the examples above:
  1. This India Times reference contains nothing that resembles "original and independent opinion/analyis/investigation/etc" that is "clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject". Fails ORGIND.
  2. This Outlook Business reference, is an unbiased and unashamed promotional piece based entirely on interviews with the CEO and their VC backers. This article fails for the same reasons as above.
  3. This Business World reference is a press release. Here's another website with the exact same headline and quotations. Fails ORGIND.
  4. The YouTube clip from CNBC is entirely promotional, based in a large part of an interview with a founder and is not intellectually independent, fails ORGIND.
  5. This e27.co reference is based on an interview with a founder, is not intellectually independent, fails ORGIND.
  6. This TechCrunch reference is based on a company announcement about raising $4m in a funding round; as are these other references that have all used the same source announcement - Livemint, Thie Hindu Business Line, Times of India, Trl News, etc. Fails ORGIND.
  7. An award from NASSCOM. One of 50 handed out. Not a significant award. Here's SetuServ Informatics Pvt Ltd boasting about having the exact same award. Fails CORPDEPTH.
  8. This Economic Times of India reference is entirely based on an interview with founders, is not intellectually independent, fails ORGIND
  9. Thie ET Tech reference is the same as #6 above and fails for the same reasons.
In addition, it is clear to me that this company is attempting to use Wikipedia as a platform for promotion and/or advertising. Having one-off accounts !vote here doesn't help your case for notability.

  • Speedy Keep The nomination does not advocate deletion. An act was passed in 2011 -- the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011 and there's plenty of specific coverage of that out there. Andrew D. (talk) 20:40, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Andrew, stop this disruption immediately. AFD is a valid venue for discussion of redirecting a title to a separate article, as I have pointed out to you on multiple occasions over the last few months. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 08:33, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The Scottish factor is integral to the history of the
    Highland clearances and modern estate management in Scotland. There is ample material that can be put in the article, including notable factors (mostly, unfortunately, notorious characters) an explanation of the duties carried out and the type of person who was employed in this work. There are potential sources such as "Turmoil among the crofters:Evander McIver and the ‘Highland Question’, 1873–1903" by Annie Tindley and Eric Richards in The Agricultural History Review - there are many other mentions of the role in more accessible works and there is at least one biography of a Highland factor (Richards, Eric (1999). Patrick Sellar and the Highland Clearances: Homicide, Eviction and the Price of Progress. Edinburgh: Polygon. ISBN 1 902930 13 4). Whilst the article is clearly deficient as it stands, the solution is to put some better material in it.

What I don't understand is: How is a factor in Scotland different than a third party property manager elsewhere? I get there was an act passed, but how is it different? Toddst1 (talk) 03:24, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The term factor is not synonymous with property manager, as a property manager is not necessarily legally recognised (whereas a factor is under the laws of Scotland) and does not necessarily have the same legal powers and duties as a factor in Scotland (because Scots law does not apply to the rest of the world, and is indeed a unique cross between common and civil law that has generally not been exported overseas). The topic of factors in Scotland in any event satisfies GNG and is independently notable. There is a large body of literature about factors in Scotland and Scots law (as opposed to the rest of the world). See for example Bell's Commentaries amongst many others. In other words, even if, for the sake of argument, a factor was a property manager in Scotland (which is not admitted), WP:SPINOUT would apply. (This is normally true of any topic that consists of broad topic X in country Y). This page is capable of being expanded beyond a definition. Possibly a title like "Factors in Scots law" or "Factors in Scotland" might be better. We also see this described as "factoring" or a "contract of factory". James500 (talk) 22:53, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Third-party property managers in the US require state licensure in most states, so to say they're not legally recognized is uninformed. I'm not saying that factors aren't passing GNG, rather, they seem to fit the description of a third-party property manager with all the fiduciary obligations of a factor. What is missing? Toddst1 (talk) 03:28, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"What is missing?" Looking at the historical aspect, the Highland Factor, as I have tried to explain above, is very much tied up with the management of estates during the huge social disruption of the clearances, and then during the period of massive emigration from that region that extended into the 20th century. As such, among other things, they were involved in a massive piece of social engineering (often devising entire improvement schemes for landlords), they were closely involved in mitigating the Highland potato famine (why was this nothing like as severe as in Ireland?). They were people who had an enormous amount of power over tenants, often over very large tracts of land. Elsewhere in Wikipedia, various articles need a link into something that covers (perhaps in part) the historic role of the Highland factor. An article on the Scottish factor seems to make sense, rather than one just focused on the historical aspect, because one would not want the reader to believe that this role has disappeared. The current property manager article does not currently deal with the subject and, in my opinion, would not read well if it were to cover it adequately, as there would be a confusing mix of different subjects.
ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 11:55, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Factor is a key term in Scotland, both historically and today (as noted it is spelled out in legislation). I think the article could be improved to cover historical usage (eg in the Highland Clearances as outlined above, but also the office of burgh or city factor who was in charge of council housing might be mentioned). Dunarc (talk) 19:48, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have improved the article significantly.On the other hand, it might indeed be historically significant but the sourcing is very thin, as in it takes some sleuthing to draw together its history, and the facts are not easily found without extraction. The sources are mostly tiny tidbits. Which is to say, it lacks decent SIGCOV.

A page about a non-notable six page article in a Theosophy journal, similar to "Occult or Exact Science." The page has relatively extensive references, but the only thing that specifically addresses the article itself is a section of a 2009 PhD thesis by Arnold Kalnitsky - everything else is simply support for statements about Theosophy or philosophy in general.

  • insert Juche-Capitalism; but delete Juche. State sources and other sources used in the Juche article are not reliable and doesn't prove anything, because Juche is described as a man centered ideology(even by state sources) and by Juche-capitalism and therefore can be regarded as an anti-state ideology.

  • Delete. I've just searched several major resources for Wahaj Ali:
    • Ebook Central, using the administrative interface (so I get results from all books, not just results from ones my library owns or subscribes) as well as the reader interface — zero results.
    • EBSCOhost, a platform with 82 separate databases to which we subscribe — one result, an article co-authored by Wahaj Ali, "Enhancement in corrosion resistance by nano-structure Ni-Cr coating for boilers [sic] application" and published a year ago in the journal Science International. Obviously not the same person.
    • ProQuest Central, a platform with 24 separate databases to which we subscribe — nothing useful
  • No coverage in the literature = no notability. Nyttend (talk) 22:37, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. Since the subject is a Pakistani television actor, I would expect that if there are any good sources to use, they would most likely come from Pakistani newspapers, Pakistani pop culture magazines, and Pakistani pop culture websites. A database that covers scholarly journals wouldn't be of much use in researching the subject. Do those databases cover the Pakistani sources that would be relevant here? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:37, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • No. They provide reliable sources in many languages from all over the world, including Pakistan, but they do not include unreliable sources like the ones you list. The relevant types of publications indexed in these databases are books and academic journals in media studies and history: they are the reliable sources in the field, not newspapers, magazines, or ordinary websites with no credentials. Nyttend (talk) 05:00, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • If we could only rely on books and academic journals, without newspapers or magazines being treated as reliable sources, we would have a hard time writing biographical articles about many contemporary actors, musicians, and athletes, other than the highest echelon of the most established and prominent ones. I -- and, I suspect, many other Wikipedians -- would prefer not to impose such a restriction, and I don't think that standard reflects the current guidelines per

Apparently there are more alternative names to this club, the sources added in Arabic do help to establish notability but significant coverage from them may be questionable. Withdrawing delete vote. ~

The club name in Arabic is (مركز شباب تلا), and from the way it's pronounced it should be spelled Markaz Shabab Tala or simply MS Tala. MS Tla would work too and it's actually used in multiple websites, but it's not the correct way to spell it. Ben5218 (talk) 12:22, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did also try in Arabic (the name's in the article), but I couldn't find anything that way either; I should have mentioned that in the nomination, but left it out because Arabic's a hard language for me to search in, so I figured my attempt wouldn't count for much. Two of the new references are to the official Facebook page and one is a bare mention, so I don't count those for notability purposes. The other two do look useful. I'll leave this open a little while longer in case there's more input. › Mortee talk 19:18, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - good working on sourcing. Furthermore, this confirms (in English) that the team participated in the National Cup, which is a standard for notability for football teams. All in all, I'm convinced it is notable. GiantSnowman 10:45, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale borrowed from my previous similar AfD of Keizaburō Saeki, which itself was largely borrowed from Cckerberos (courtesy ping) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hideki Kasai. Keizaburō Saeki, Hideki Kasai, and this currently-nominated article are all identical bot-created articles. I have nominated several others for deletion.

To quote Cckerberos: "This article is a generic stub, generated by a bot in 2007. It makes no specific claim to notability; it appears that similar stubs were created for every photographer listed in 328 Outstanding Japanese Photographers, all with the format "Name (years) is a renowned Japanese photographer" (compare the nominated article with

WP:CREATIVE
."

In addition to Cckerberos's excellent commentary, I'll note that I've done as thorough a

WP:BEFORE check as possible for an English-speaker: Google searches of both the English and Japanese order of the English transliteration of his name, and of the Japanese name. In this case I found one Google book result ([14]), and theTokyo Photographic Museum website
which confirms he has photos there.

There were no other results for either version of the English name, or the Japanese name. He is absent from the reasonably thorough The History of Japanese Photography. The Japanese Wikipedia has no article about him, so there are no sources to be borrowed from it.

In the absence of reliable sources, we cannot verify that this person is notable, so the article, like many of the previous bot-generated photographers before it, should be deleted. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 10:24, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable subject that does not meet

:

The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it—without incentive, promotion, or other influence by people connected to the topic matter.

  • Comment – There is no guideline or policy that provides presumed notability for Mormon subjects or leaders. Subjects that the LDS church considers to be noteworthy are not automatically notable as per Wikipedia's standards. Multiple, independent reliable sources that provide significant coverage about the subject are needed to qualify notability and an article. Such subjects do not get a free pass for an article without said independent coverage, and personal opinion that a subject is notable by default per being a leader in the LDS church is not backed by any Wikipedia notability guidelines.

Though this award gives out some very nice medals made by a local goldsmith, I can't find any coverage at all (other than occasional mentions in listings) of this award. I'd go as far to say the award gains more credence and notability from the people who win it, than the other way around. The article was originally written by the founder of the Machynlleth Tabernacle, who hand out the award. Time for it to go or, at best, redirect it to Machynlleth Festival (where it seems the award is presented). Sionk (talk) 18:49, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I think this does satisfy LISTN. It is frequently included in the biographies of those who win it, in biographical dictionaries etc. I have to infer that it is included in those sources because it is considered important. Also included in yearbooks: [24]. This must be based on its own importance. GNews does contain at least one article specifically about the award, and quite a few others primarily about the festival or winners that discuss it (there are also similar sources on main google search, such as what appears to be an article on Kyffin Williams from the Western Mail newspaper). Since many of the winners are notable or noteworthy on other other grounds, I don't see a problem with having a list of blue links. Add to that the fact that the Machynlleth Festival has had a lot of notable performers performing in person (meaning it is an important event). Add to that the level of importance of the Machynlleth Tabernacle that can be gathered from sources. I would not support merger to the festival unless there is room in that article for an embedded list of winners.

That is my argument entirely, the Machynlleth Festival and the medal's recipients are undoubtedly important, but the medal simply isn't. I'd like to know where the one article specifically about the award is (I couldn't find one). Things shouldn't inherit notability on Wikipedia. A list article would also be unsourceable - there isn't even a list of winners on the festival's website so it appears to be using Wikipedia to host its info.

  • Delete - Wikipedia has a responsibility when it comes to biographies of living children, where the articles have to be entirely neutral and the sourcing must be especially strong. Being a child prodigy is not in itself grounds for notability, so the question is whether there are multiple reliable, independent sources that discuss the person in depth. As seen in the list of 16 sources above, that does not appear to be the case. Some are copies of the same press release or the same content from pakistanbookofrecords.com. Some are very brief mentions (hence not in-depth coverage). Six of them are YouTube videos of his speeches (primary sources) and one is a link to another Wikipedia article. The claim that he lectures at universities is dubious and would need actual independent sourcing. In addition there are BLP concerns where the article's creator (who presumably has a COI) repeatedly inserts promotional text and unsourced claims in the article. --bonadea contributions talk 10:10, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I initially though that GNG would be met and spent a bit of time this morning looking for better sources - there are none. The Express Tribune piece is the only example of RS coverage I could locate. Especially given the COI and promotional concerns regarding this article (I see that just prior to this !vote it was jammed full of inappropriate content once again), there is no reason to retain it.

Wikipedia has a specific (and idiosyncratic) definition of

WP:DIVERSE international sources, this diversity has been consequential to the fact that the parties in the event (the victim, the alleged murderers, and the alleged murder-for-hire employer) all happened to be from different countries (or, in the case of the alleged employer, traveled to a different country), and not – as required by the notability inclusion criteria – because the impact of the event was such that it drove a diversity of news and non-news media to report on it beyond mere ordinary narrative reporting.

This murder case has no notability other than locally in Puerto Rico as shown by the only 2 references in the article of significance (#s 9 and 10, "Ingresan a Áurea...", and "Arranca Juicio..."), both cites by

The coverage in Canada is like in Puerto Rico, local coverage, and this is because the person murdered happened to be Canadian, but not because the story itself has any international societal impact. Further a story by 1 single source (National Post) doesn't count as "lots of coverage". This also explains the Winnipeg Free Press news report (the murdered man was born in Winnipeg), and per
WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, "...a burst or spike of news reports does not automatically make an incident notable." The story has resurfaced at WFP, not because the story has longevity on its own right, but because one of the persons presumed to have taken part in the murder was recently apprehended after many years. Mercy11 (talk) 04:03, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
Being a murder-for-hire isn't sufficient basis for an article; local newspapers report them all the time but we don't include them just because they are murder-for-hires. The qualifying reasons are at WP: Notability (events): There must be "demonstrable long-term impact on a significant region of the world or a significant widespread societal group [to be] presumed to be notable enough for an article." This case fails both those tests. For example, the murder of Adam Walsh is notable because it led to the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act in the U.S. Hunting down a suspect, even if over several countries, doesn't make a case notable enough either; Interpol does this all the time, but we don't automatically make articles for every Interpol murder case. Also, the wanted person in question hasn't yet been found guilty of ordering the murder. So a statement like "chase after the person who ordered it" is not factual. Mercy11 (talk) 12:17, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Mercy11 raises some obviously false points:

For example he said: "Fails WP:N. ..no notability other than locally in Puerto Rico as shown by the only 2 references in the article of significance..., both cites by El Nuevo Dia, a local Puerto Rican newspaper... the subject of the article has essentially been ignored by the mainstream media." He fails to acknowledge coverage by: Dateline NBC, a nationally syndicated US program on March 14,2008: titled "The Pink Skirt Murder" or articles in the Miami Herald (https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/article217599445.html) or in widespread Canadian newspapers (https://globalnews.ca/tag/the-pink-skirt-murder/) or BBC or Daily Mail.

Mercy11 is also false in stating that the "This murder case set no precedent nor left any legacy." I do not know how legal precedents work, but the FBI using false advertisements, and recruiting the help of Interpol/Spanish authorities to snag an indicted murderer in a foreign country, is not your every day event. In addition, the link to Italy, and how they sheltered an indicted murderer on nebulous pretenses (that, capital punishment is pursued in the US or that Italy does not extradite mothers of children born in Italy) is relevant to other cases of indicted murderers who fled jurisdiction such as the Einhorn murder. Finally this case also involved the wrongful conviction by local courts, that in itself is another story of interest.

Among the other obvious points that argue for notability according to WP:N(E) that Mercy11 ignores. For example, "The duration of coverage is a strong indicator of whether an event has passing or lasting significance." The Dateline NBC program was from 2008 and we still have articles on the events from the Daily Mail and BBC [26] in England, from the past two weeks.

In conclusion, the story in this article is covered in depth by multiple independent sources (often national scale reporting), from multiple countries, over more than a decade. It involves areas of great contention in the administration of law: international flight from jurisdiction, protection against extradition by the sheltering country, false imprisonment of convicted subjects, the cooperation of international agencies in the apprehension of accused murderers. This will have repercussions in the future, and will be cited in future such cases. Rococo1700 (talk) 13:43, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All those listed are primary sources, i.e., ordinary news reporting. If the news was reported outside the PR/Winnipeg areas it's because of the large Puerto Rican population in south Florida, not because the case has any societal significance in itself. Proof of this is that there isn't a single newspaper (or book, etc.) that has done an analysis/commentary of this murder case to supports statements like "this case involves areas of great contention in the administration of law: international flight from jurisdiction, protection against extradition by the sheltering country, false imprisonment of convicted subjects, the cooperation of international agencies in the apprehension of accused murderers.", which is all
WP:V; its relevance can't be independently evaluated by editors here. Mercy11 (talk) 15:55, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
MERCY11 complains that this article is not of broad interest, but when one points out that it is, he/she complains that the source (Candian newspapers or NBC national) is not good enough. And then, Mercy11 ignores the international BBC [27] reporting. That alone obviates all the concerns. It is verifiable, it is not original research, it is very strong evidence of notability, and all the different sources over more than a decade after the murder argue this as a news item with
WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE
. Finally for lasting effect, there is no WP requirement for a murder to change law or society. This murder however, on the basis of the wide coverage, clearly has a large impact. I agree with the other editors above.
Also how is it original research to identify the issue of "cooperation of international agencies in the apprehension of an accused (accomplice to) murder" (she is accused of paying someone to murder him and accompanied Anhang to the murder scene). Read any of the sources on her apprehension and that would be what is stated there. That assertion by Mercy11 begs reason. I strongly recommend that the deletion tag be removed. Rococo1700 (talk) 01:26, 2 September 2018 (UTC)Rococo1700 (talk) 21:32, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There's nothing "international" about the BBC report, and it doesn't provide any evidence of notability. (btw, that BBC report is also a primary source). Internationalization of an event in WP:Notability (events)'s terms is always tied to the notion of having widespread impact, and not to being reported by news casts in more than one country. The BBC report was consequential to the fact that one of the persons wanted in connection with the murder was apprehended in Europe, a region that's part of the regional area for BBC coverage. Had the woman been apprehended in Puerto Rico, BBC would had never reported it, just as it never reports on the hundreds of other murder cases in Puerto Rico. Thus, BBC reported it because the woman associated with this ordinary and non international murder case had been apprehended in Europe (consequential), not because the murder case itself had any impact in any British or European societal group. If, however, in the future this murder case has a significant impact on, for example, Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico, then it may be considered notable.Mercy11 (talk) 02:43, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The British BBC article byline was by an apparently British writer in Madrid, about a woman from Puerto Rico living in Italy to avoid prosecution for a crime that occurred in Puerto Rico. The BBC article is in the US and Canada section. Also I disagree with the definition of a BBC article as a primary source. I have reread the WP:NOR section, and disagree. BBC article was not written by someone close to the event. The newspaper has review of its articles by higher staff. This is a secondary source, very acceptable for Wikipedia articles.--Rococo1700 (talk) 02:27, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
They are very acceptable for use in the article, but only as sources of factual information, not as a basis for determining notability. As an example, newspaper and police reporting are both in the same level: primary sources. Both are close to the event. They are both reporting the Who, What, When, Where, etc. But unlike police reporting, newspaper articles could also do analysis, provide context, perform comparisons, provide commentary, etc. (See
WP:GNG test. Mercy11 (talk) 03:44, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
Having available sources that cover an event is not sufficient grounds to create an article (
WP:GNG points to the need for secondary sources, and this event has none; newspapers and a BBC report, the only verifiable sources given so far, could be secondary sources but none of the those newspaper or BBC sources given so far are. Mercy11 (talk) 01:55, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep The has been ONGOING, INDEPTH coverage of this murder:
The first 6 in the list above are all routine newspaper murder stories (and all primary sources), not what
Duration of Coverage" the Inclusion Criteria states, "Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article", and "If an event is cited as a case study in multiple sources after the initial coverage has died down, this may be an indication of lasting significance.". This murder case fails both of these "Continued Coverage" tests. Mercy11 (talk) 00:23, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
Being reported in many countries is not a criteria for inclusion and, in fact, the word "country" isn't even used in the Criteria. But since several editors seem to think that it matters, I will point out that the event was reported by an Israeli newspaper because the person murdered happened to be Jewish [30] - i.e., purely consequential, and not because of any international impact which is what the Criteria specifies. Mercy11 (talk) 00:23, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Israeli media doesn't cover every murder of a Jew - far from it - but in this case the accused was apparantly falsifying documents to show she was Jewish and immigrate to Israel.[31] As for relevance of coverage in multiple countries - see
WP:SUSTAINED. Icewhiz (talk) 05:32, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
No one said Israel covers every murder of a Jew (although they probably do), but either case is irrelevant here. What's being said is that the coverage (1) in every place outside PR (including Israel) has been consequential, not the result of any national or global enduring impact. The event has have no lasting impact in Israel or any other region of the world. (2) The alleged "coverage" is not what the Policy calls coverage for purposes of notability: even a huge amount of coverage alone isn't sufficient basis for inclusion, it must be (a) "coverage that persists over a period of time"(
WP:GEOSCOPE, which I have been quoting from the get-go. It says, "Coverage of an event nationally or internationally may make notability more likely, but such coverage should not be the sole basis for creating an article. However, events that have a demonstrable long-term impact on a significant region of the world or a significant widespread societal group are presumed to be notable enough for an article." Again, GEO-coverage has nothing to do with newspapers from a multiplicity of countries, and everything to do with long term impact in a large region of the world. Mercy11 (talk) 03:44, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
We shouldn't get ourselves hung up on number of countries (the policy says nothing about number of countries), and should focus more on the time magnitude ("lasting significance") and space magnitude ("significant region") of the impact of the murder case. These 2 are what the
WP:N(E) addresses and, in fact, what it opens up with. As for coverage, the policy trumps quality of coverage ("in-depth) over quantity of coverage (which the policy purposely left in last place). Mercy11 (talk) 03:44, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

  • Reply @Damvile: Depends of your definition on reliable! The first citation I gave is a primary source from Audi, showing the history of the competition that's it's been going on since 1991 and that it's not just football but mainly a golf competition of the title provided. The next two sources are secondary sources from two car dealership companies which also support the competition, I don't know if there is a conflict of interest, but I really don't see a problem, as they are reporting about this amateur competition. It's been going on for years, depends how much research you want to do to build an article, there are a few local news services in a general google search. [35].

Reply @Govvy: Hm yes, I guess it does depend on the definition of reliable! A conflict of interest alone wouldn't necessarily bother me, it's just that these examples strike me as pretty openly promotional. It's primarily the tone, not the venue.

If the competition is notable, then by definition there must be some reporting somewhere that doesn't have this problem. Damvile (talk) 15:58, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The link you posted goes to an article about golf? Not football? Damvile (talk) 16:00, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply @Damvile: Yes, the title for this article is wrong because Audi quattro Cup is also an golf tourney since 1991! The problem is that this is amateur golf, it won't get coverage like professional golf, the article is currently setup as a football competition which only happened once and was sponsored by two companies, the other being Red Bull. Do we want to cover this annual amateur competition on wikipedia, there maybe a lack of coverage by the high end news services. I have no qualms against deleting this, I just thought there was enough on the web to fix it to how it should be. And besides, there is no getting away from sponsorships these days, it's all over everything, so there is always going to be that promotional side of sports it's just a question of how we deal with it when we write an article. Govvy (talk) 16:09, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply @Govvy: Haha, I did't read this carefully enough at first and I misunderstood you. Sorry. I'm not opposed to the golf article, but then again the golf article doesn't actually exist at this point and so isn't really subject of this discussion. If the football article gets deleted that doesn't mean a new article with a different topic can't be started in its place, so the hypothetical future golf article has nothing to worry about :) Damvile (talk) 16:18, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The rest fail completely on that front, with independent issues on a couple. I am incapable of judging reliability of these sources, making me incapable of judging either good (Keep) or bad (delete). With me being this unsure, I think Neutral is the only reasonable !vote. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:08, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. I came along to close this, but I find myself !voting instead because I was rather dissatisfied with the level of research that's gone into many of the arguments. This is rendered difficult by my lack of knowledge of Persian, but even just in English we have one very detailed account of his work with 24 citations listed on google scholar [47] (page 47), one detailed analysis of a piece of art made by him [48], two sources attesting to his significance as an artist even they do not provide much detail [49] [50], and several more that are difficult to evaluate because the text is unavailable, but which are unquestionably reliable (and no, I'm not counting the Books LLC publication) [51]. Under these circumstances, I find it quite unlikely that no reliable sources in Persian discuss this individual. Vanamonde (talk) 00:40, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: I should also have mentioned that the main issue with this article, as stated in a tag at the top of the page, is that places too much reliance on primary sources. This assertion should have been disputed years ago, and could have been dismissed as nothing more than an unsubstantiated assertion eons ago. In fact, the references were mainly to Persian newspaper/magazine articles, which other editors have pointed out were difficult to interpret. But just because a Wikipedia editor cannot understand the language used by a source, doesn't mean that assumptions can be made about those sources being primary, rather than secondary or tertiary. As far as I can establish, the article does not use, and has not for a long time, used primary sources. For my own part, I do not approve of an over-reliance on foreign language sources in an English language encyclopedia due to the difficulties validating factual comments. However, some foreign language articles may be necessary to flesh out the details of a subject's life and career. This is particularly true for Middle-Eastern artists because Western art historians and art critics have largely ignored developments taking place in the region. For this reason, the article now includes a reasonable mix of English, Arabic and Persian sources. And, when those sources broadly align with respect to key details, as they do in this case, it should give readers confidence that the article's contents are both accurate and comprehensive.

Fails GNG and NARTIST. The one good source comes from a suspect online publication that seems to only publish glowing monographs on artists. To wit : "He was born in Winchester in 1983 to Dr Karim Afshar and Ladan Bagheri. The city’s unique sensibility undoubtedly informed the young artist’s person and works. The ancient capital of England is the final resting place of Austen. It’s where Keats composed ‘To Autumn’ in 1819... Afshar attended Winchester College alongside Nicholas Hatfull and Oliver Osborne, both of whom would study at the Royal Academy. Until then, the trio studied under Ruskin School alumnus, Laurence Wolff, who encouraged Afshar to apply to the Drew Art Travel Prize in 2001." What journalist writes like that? In addition this had the most puffed up reference tag name I have ever seen: "<re* name="Soulscapes and Success: The Extraordinary Art of Taha Afshar">. A search turns up no other in-depth coverage, and most article sources are primary. Was speedy deleted a few years back, so may be a candidate for SALT if outcome is delete.
