Well, I'm the author of the article (really translated from :es and only covered the template details). As I understand, there are two arguments against my first article, to delete it:
  1. Not notable
  2. Promotional - covers Enric Duran
After give an answer to these points, I would like to state that instead of proposing to deletion, it could be fine, in order to achieve more quality participation, to show me how to make the article better. Now, since I'm newbie and I don't know all the policies, excuse me if I don't cite policies properly, and please show me if I miss something. Also excuse my nonnative english.
  1. Against Not notable argument, Power~enwiki specifies that is only notable because related to Enric Duran, but not as a cryptocurrency. Of course, Enric Duran is an important part of FairCoin and to mention him in that article is a must, but FairCoin doesn't inherite notability by Enric Duran. As seen in the references part of the article, there's a lot of coverage of FairCoin by itself, of reliable and independent sources. If more references are needed to prove this (which will surprise me), just tell me instead of proposing deletion.
  2. Against Promotional, covering Enric Duran, I would say first that if the community thinks this, I would remove the content needed about Enric Duran, instead deleting the entire article. If promotional, as promoting a cryptocurrency, I win nothing if people are interested or not in the topic (evident), so is not selfpromotional. There are also no marketing content, and there's no propaganda and no attempts to convince to another opinion: the article is just useful as it provides information of a particular and notable cryptocurrency.
At last, as counterargument, I will cite the essay of

Badly sourced article about a term of questionable real-world usage. I can't find any reliably sourced examples of this existing as a term for a class of thing, as this article describes -- all I can find is examples of religious newspapers using "Good News" as their name. And that's largely what the purely

primary sources here are showing as well: two of the four are using "Good News" as their name, and the other two are papers which are doing the same sort of thing while using different terms for it other than "good news" per se (such as "positive news"). But newspapers' own mission statements aren't adequate sourcing for an article about the thing those newspapers describe themselves as being -- reliable source coverage would have to analyze this term as a thing, independently of the newspapers calling themselves this, before it would qualify for an article. But that's exactly the sort of coverage I'm not actually finding anywhere. Bearcat (talk) 19:52, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply

Well, I created the article so I suppose I should chime in. Wikipedia's notability standards say multiple significant roles in notable films. I suppose this largely turns on how you parse and define the words significant and notable. Bye Bye Birdie is certainly notable, I don't think anyone would dispute that. Gidget Goes To Rome is perhaps not notable on it's own, but the Gidget series/franchise is certainly notable and this movie is part of that franchise. As to whether the roles were significant, that is a little more subjective. She was uncredited in that film, but she gave a memorable enough performance to receive a promising newcomer award (there was a source attached to that statement but it has since been deleted, I do not know why. I think most people who have seen the film will remember her role, and in the stage version, it was credited supporting role (see wikipedia's page about the stage version). I cannot claim to have seen Gidget Goes to Rome, but I did see the trailer. It is billed as a friends "beach party" type movie, and she plays one of the main character's two best friends. She is shown in the trailer and her character is reference by name in the trailer. So there you have it, two arguably significant roles in two films whose notability is probably not in question. When I started the article, I took multiple to mean more than one. I took significant to mean memorable, not necessarily a starring or leading role. If people disagree with the notability of the films or the roles, or feel two is not enough, then of course, delete the article. I had hoped when I started the article that others would help it grow, but I must admit, it is still a stub after 7 years and doesn't look a whole lot different than it did a few years ago.

Granting the assumption that the subject meets GNG, can you make a case for it passing WP:BIO, which an article needs to fulfill? There seems to be no information about the article subject that is notable enough for an encyclopedia. Also, the article was nominated for deletion prior to it being cleared of copyrighted material.--SamHolt6 (talk) 21:24, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to imply that
WP:GNG. That I know isn't true. If a subject meets the GNG it should be kept. So to rephrase your argument so that it makes sense, you should say "Granting the assumption that the subject meets GNG, I am withdrawing my nomination."192.160.216.52 (talk) 17:36, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply

You may need to take a closer look at my statement. Quoting directly from the text of
WP:BASIC) but also any other relevant, additional policies. This is pertinent to this discussion as myself and several other editors have deputed the idea that the article in question passes either GNG or BIO due to a lack of significant sources.--SamHolt6 (talk) 01:05, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
You need to take a closer look at your own statement. You originally claimed that the article needs to satisfy
WP:GNG and it's not necessary for it to satisfy BIO. Now I don't know what you're claiming but clearly the goalposts have been moved. Anyway, the part of BIO that you quote cuts against your argument. All it says is that BIO is not dispositive. It's true that GNG is not dispositive, but meeting it is certainly sufficient for keeping an article, even if it's not necessary. In any case, myself and several editors have disputed the idea that the article in question fails to pass both GNG and BIO. That's why we're having this discussion, obviously.192.160.216.52 (talk) 14:15, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply

Citing of other similar articles is not a viable way of establishing notability per
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.--SamHolt6 (talk) 21:24, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is an essay, it's not a policy. It's a little underhanded of you to cite it as if it were dispositive (if you're doing it on purpose). In fact, in deletion discussions noting that a lot of similar articles exist is a perfectly valid way to establish notability. If the type of article weren't notable why haven't all the others been deleted? For instance, shopping malls. These articles are never deleted, and the only argument for that outcome is that we never delete shopping malls, which is logically related to claiming that there are a lot of articles on shopping malls that haven't been deleted.192.160.216.52 (talk) 17:41, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply

Protection freezes the contents (or lack thereof) of the article-title. Salting is the special name for doing that when no such article exists, which therefore prevents its creation (including "creation as a redirect"). Alternately, the redirect could be created and then protected, which would prevent it from being converted into an actual article. DMacks (talk) 20:32, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the information. My vote will remain "Redirect" and if that turns out to be the ultimate result of this AfD, I would suggest some sort of protection to prevent reversal of the redirect, though I will leave it to you guys to select the best technique. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:50, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed this AFD a few days ago when a comment showed up on a user talk page I was watching. I refrained from commenting because I don't know enough about the topic to say one way or another whether the nominator's rationale is valid (although it seems clear that the same is true for the only "keep" !vote so far, who only !voted based on a keepist principle rather than any specialist understanding that led to the conclusion that the OP has misunderstood or deliberately misrepresented the topic). But I gotta say,
Wikipedia policy. When someone blanks unsourced content rather than simply tagging, it is assumed that the blanker has read other sources that appear to contradict the content, or just knows from personal experience that the content is wrong, and both are valid reasons for blanking unsourced content. (Adding unsourced content based on one's personal experience is obviously a violation, but that's not what happened.) Hijiri 88 (やや) 19:57, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply

  • Mr Davidson doesn't appear to have improved his understanding of caste. Which of those sources refer to General Castes? The article is not about OBCs or SCs/STs, which are the other two government classifications, and the government provides no list of castes that it considers to be General/Forward. Since the government provide no such list, we would have to employ deduction and that is original research. - Sitush (talk) 22:30, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's a detail. The sensible way forward is to list all the notable castes within the Sikh community. The ones which get government preferment can be marked and the others are then implicit. Andrew D. (talk) 22:49, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not a detail. Any caste could contain at least one person who is Sikh; government preferment is not a constant across the country (ie: a caste can be preferred in one area, preferred differently in another; and not preferred at all in a third). The rules of preferment change regularly and are themselves ambiguous due to issues of identifying the numerous names used for the same castes and because sometimes the same name is used for very different castes. Andrew, we've been through this time and again across numerous AfDs and you still do not get it. Either please take the trouble to listen and learn or don't bother disrupting with ill-advised thoughts. - Sitush (talk) 22:54, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) In fact, I am going to go further because I think Andrew is becoming a real problem with his contrarian positions in AfDs and RfAs. Despite the gap of umpteen years since the last discussion for this list, it has still not been sourced and least of all by the one person who really insisted that it should remain, ie: Andrew. So how about you put up or shut up on this occasion? The issue of the caste system in Sikhism is already covered at various articles but trying to create a list of General Castes in Sikhism simply is not feasible and he hasn't shown it to be so either at the last AfD or at any time since. We've got to get a grip on such extreme inclusionism achieved through misplaced and/or misguided wikilawyering. - Sitush (talk) 22:50, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was thinking of improving the page this time around. But first we require enforcement of
    WP:BLANK which states "Repeated, unnecessary page blanking may get a user blocked indefinitely." I'm not volunteering my effort if Sitush is going to engage in blatant disruption and edit warring again. Andrew D. (talk) 22:55, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • The sequence of events is
  1. The AfD is closed as "no consensus"
  2. 5 mins later, Sitush blanks the page, leaving no content
  3. another editor reverts this blanking as vandalism
  4. Sitush repeats the page blanking
  5. The blanking was reverted again and that's where we are now

  • And yet again you lie. Your sources do not discuss the matter at hand and you forget that N, OR and V are being rolled out against you. Disagree with me? Start using the sources, then: you've had several years already. - Sitush (talk) 09:27, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping. It's pretty clear Andrew Davidson that you've pigeonholed yourself with your narrow article scope (and title). You've identified that there is a disparity between the teachings in Sikhism and the reality of the caste system. Maybe that's a starting point for a prose article instead of a list, i don't know. All i'm seeing is a dead horse getting beaten here though. Kind regards, Cesdeva (talk) 03:05, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete-The first thing that strikes me is the inconsistency caste ≈ Hinduism so I am not getting where Sikhism enters the picture. If the title suggest that the people had a certain caste before changing over to Sikhism even then it does not merit mentioning. Also General caste is a generalization at its best which seeks to encompass all castes major or minor which do not fall into any of the governments benefit schemes. There is no formal definition of this General caste making the scope of this article truly ambiguous and thus gives a scope for pov warriors to exploit this article and add incorrect stuff —

  • It doesn't. There is no list. I am getting really fed up of the Article Rescue Squadron people here: clueless, as at every past caste-related discussion. See my first two threaded replies to Andrew Davidson above. - Sitush (talk) 19:51, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It wasn't tagged for Article Rescue, that not why I'm here. And I simply assumed if they list some caste and their religion, they'd surely list the others somewhere as well. That's not being clueless, just common sense, their census should record this data somewhere. Dream Focus 20:23, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It doesn't. How many more times must I say this? You're just demonstrating some weird sort of systemic bias, making assumptions about how India should do things. If all you can do is speculate or produce irrelevant sources, as AD has done, then you're just wasting your own time and, worse, that of others. Please also note that the Indian reservation system is not, in the strictest sense, based on caste anyway. There are plenty of communities with reserved status who are not castes. - Sitush (talk) 20:50, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If that is what they do then they should be banned from AfD because they're disrupting to make a point. Caste AfDs often attract little attention and that makes such actions particularly disruptive, as evidenced in the prior AfD for this list: it is too easy to get a no consensus outcome, regardless of how much I write. - Sitush (talk) 21:05, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Total nonsense. I thought I was being helpful here, pointing where people who wanted to spend more time searching about could find information if it existed. I did not say "Keep" at all. I do not auto-vote Keep, ever. Most of the articles tagged for ARS I never participate in at all. Kindly assume good faith and stop spreading the same ridiculous lies every chance you get. Dream Focus 21:11, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Dream Focus: Re-read my comment. I never said you had !voted "keep" in this AFD, and in fact in two out of three of my comments I specifically stated that there had only been one explicit "keep" !vote (not yours). What I said about you was that you tend to auto-!vote "keep" in a lot of AFDs, as can be seen in the evidence below:
Evidence requested; evidence given.
  • here, you !voted based on a nonsense equation of Shakespeare's "Dark Lady" with the "Dark Lord" of modern fantasy fiction, then tried to justify yourself by doing a Google News search and linking the first source you found that used the two words in sequence, apparently without reading the source yourself;
  • here, you !voted "keep" but then when presented with the evidence decided to unilaterally delete everything in the article, rename it, change its focus to somehing completely different, and then pretended the article had always been about that while never withdrawing your initial !vote apparently on principle.
  • That's just the last month: while looking around to see if you had ever gotten in trouble for copyright violation before, I noticed that your user page is linked to from well over 10,000 WP:-namespace pages, many of them AFDs; I checked a few (nowhere near them all, mind) to see if you had defended any of the articles against copyvio claims, and while I didn't find any of that, I did notice that you hadn't !voted "delete" in a single one of them. You know your own record better than I do: can you link to any from the last ten years in which you were in favour of deletion?
Anyway, here you may not have explicitly !voted, but a comment that does not say "keep", "delete", "merge", "redirect" or "userfy" but does essentially amount to "Sources probably exist" could easily be read as "Keep", especially given how you recently told editors to read "behind" your comments to establish whether you supported or opposed another content proposal.
As an aside, please retract your baseless personal attack stop spreading the same ridiculous lies every chance you get. I have never lied a single time in my interactions wih you; accusations without evidence (ditto your completely off-topic "hounding" accusation here) are personal attacks and are completely unacceptable.

  • Delete I don't know anything about this topic, but the same is clearly true of others, and that has apparently not stopped them from !voting "keep" based on the principle that sources discussing this probably exist and that the topic as exemplified in the page title must not be inherently biased/flawed to the point where nothing in the page history is worth preserving. Based on the apparent lack of sources, I'm working under the assumption that the India-focused editors, who have so far all commented in favour of deletion, know more about Indian topics than the AFD-focused editors, who have so far all commented in favour of keeping.

  • Won't work. In fact, the proposed merge target should be deleted also for the reasons I gave in my early responses to AD. There is an infinite number of communities (ca. 1800 identified by the British, now over 3200 because anyone can "create" a caste simply by calling themselves one; some only last a few years and then give up), not all communities affected by the reservation system are castes, anyone in any community can profess any religion they choose, and we've already deleted List of Indian castes (which lies dormant in AD's userspace ever since the AfD).

I can't read the spreadsheet which seems to indicate that the place has no population, but GEONames points to a location that appears to be entirely ruined, if the aerial photography is to be believed. I'm willing to believe in a village if a census gives it a population, but according to the article, the census doesn't. I don't see how we can claim that it's a village when evidences suggests that at best it might once have been a village, maybe back in the days of Cyrus the Great. Geographic names databases are not good enough as sole sources for articles (they have too many mistakes); that and a census which apparently doesn't have a number just isn't enough.

The problem is that saying it "is" a village is something that everyone who is responding here admits isn't true. So the argument is that we need to keep an article whose content we know is false.

I declined a speedy on this article on the basis that if it went through AFC and was accepted there, speedy deletion might be controversial. However, this does not preclude me from nominating it for deletion on the basis that except for a short mention on this possibly reliable source, there is no coverage in any reliable sources that I can find. The rest of the sources in the article are blog posts, user generated databases and Spotify/YouTube. He is not singed to a notable label and has no charting music either. Fails

This subject fails the basic criteria of notability,

WP:BASIC. Firstly, a person is presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. These sources provided are not intellectually independent of each other, they are internal publications of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, reporting on their own internal appointments. Secondly, in any case, the depth of coverage of these sources is not substantial, and qualifies as trivial coverage of the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sansumaria (talkcontribs) 08:59, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply

  • Weak delete - The vast majority of google news results for Dibb are about her father, Thomas S. Monson. There are exceptions, such as this, which are profiles related to her position as second councelor of Young Women (organization). Her profile or coverage may grow, but right now I don't see enough material for a clear, NPOV biography. I think improvement is posible and would approve of re-creation if better sources are found. I'm not sure how high of a profile she is that a redirect to Monson or Young Women would be helpful. Smmurphy(Talk) 22:58, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I see decent sourcing coming out of the Mormon church, but that is of no use in terms of notability as she worked for the church and it is therefore not independent. I can barely see a claim of importance here-- she's important... why? When you put those two together I do not see notability being established by sources, and I do not see the reason for her inclusion in the encyclopedia either.104.163.148.25 (talk) 06:33, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This is archeology, not biology. Using citation statistics without considering the subject gives irrelevant conclusions. A citation count of 44 would be trivial for someone in experimental biomedicine, but other fields are different. It depends upon the citation density, the number of publications in the field in which things could be cited and the average number of citations in them. Archeology is noteworthy for having very restricted and specialized publication practices, more so than perhaps any other field, so this question has come up frequently. He's an antropologist as well, but working in a less-studied area, where the same publication statistics apply, so the figure is actually quite substantial for the field. He's been director of a museum, and Fellow of both the major US and UK societies in the field. DGG ( talk ) 00:08, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Fellowship in the Royal Anthropological Institute (FRAI) would be a pass of
    WP:PROF#C1 — yes, this subject has very different citation patterns than biomedicine, so we can't take this record as meaning that he isn't notable, but it also isn't evidence that he is. And directorship of the Ethnological Museum, Chittagong sounds significant but the article makes clear that it was only for a short term while the museum was still in its planning stages, long before it opened to the public. So I don't see a basis for keeping the article. But I'd be happy to change my mind if the FRAI or fellowship of the AAA can be confirmed, or if other evidence of notability turns up. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:08, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete. I'm curious about these "very restricted and specialized publication practices", DGG. I thought we published in monographs and journals, like most social scientists. Citation rates do vary from field to field, but 30–40 is middle of the road for archaeology (see e.g. random papers on the Chalcolithic), and there's still only a few of those showing up on a GScholar search. He's not actually an author of the one highly cited paper that David mentions – Current Anthropology confusingly lists all the people who commented on a paper amongst the authors. And the article itself doesn't make a strong case for impact; the "most important" papers it lists are mostly conference proceedings.
For
WP:PROF#C3, even if it could be verified, RAI fellowship is not very selective and I don't think it would qualifiy. Similarly membership of the AAA is open to anyone
and as far as I'm aware they don't have fellows as such.
In terms of positions, I can't see how a short stint as director of a provincial museum indicates notability. The career history in the article is confusing (and again – all unverifiable), but it seems his highest position was docent at Zurich, which is not suggestive of notability either.
And we shouldn't ignore the fact that this is a poorly written, promotional and completely unreferenced BLP. Inclusions like the marks he got on his university exams and his disagreements with his bosses at the museum strongly suggest a COI. So even if the subject were notable, this is a
WP:TNT candidate if I ever saw one. – Joe (talk) 09:55, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply

As for the GS search, I don't know how you analyzed it, but you must have been looking at the first few screens only, and they are shown in rough citation order. there are 23,000 items there indexed with that word--only the first 6 screes show papers with more than 40 citations -- there are only about 60 papers out of that 23,000 with 40 or more. DGG ( talk ) 18:23, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well famously citation rates have a very long-tailed distribution and up to 80% of papers aren't cited at all. Honestly I don't know of a good way to objectively assess citation rates by field (other than broad data like this). I was trying to think of a way to back up my gut feeling (as somebody in the field) that 40 cites in archaeology is "good but not great". It does make me wish we had some more solid metrics for
WP:PROF#C1. – Joe (talk) 19:02, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply

  • It's supposedly an unpopulated locality, I looked on google maps and the entire region is barren desertlike ground with no real features nearby other than this lake and an empty road that doesn't even get that near. It is possible it was at some point it was the centre of a community that has since been wiped out, stolen or moved somewhere else. It could plausibly be a nomadic town, which was camped somewhere else at the time of the photograph but may come back with the seasons. (an intermittent town?). It may be a governmental region or some kind of designation by whatever government Somalia has now (assuming it has one) or a designation used by a previous government or maybe a local warlord, or the name of an African tribe that used to live there, or their tribal lands. Or the name of a deity that is supposed to live there. But really who knows? It could be anything. I am pretty sure a UFO landing site could get into these databases. Prince of Thieves (talk) 13:13, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As I have stated before, as this place exists, hence it should be kept. The problem the nominator seems to have is that it is not defined. However this dilemma is a combination of the weakness of the Somali government, as well as a fear by organizations that could have mapped these areas to go near to them. Admittedly there is a dearth of information, due to stubborn facts on the ground. However this reality should not make us resort to nuking mention of these areas. This part of the world is already lacking in info as it is. Why make it worse by deleting whats there? 92.9.152.17 (talk) 21:43, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Merge to various places. There's pretty good consensus here that most of these don't need stand-alone articles. There's a bit of a

WP:TRAMWRECK
here, which makes it difficult to figure out which ones fit into most.

The general opinion seems to be merge somewhere, but there's no good agreement on exactly how that merge should work. User:DanTD's scheme seems logical, but I'll leave the details up to whoever performs the merge. Leave redirects behind in all cases.

This page, along with numerous others, depict small stops along SEPTA's

Subway-Surface Lines. The majority of these above-ground stops have no physical facilities or shelter, no curb, and only merely a small sign. It is nothing more than a bus stop, which I do not believe makes it notable enough for each stop to have its own page. Additionally, the stop pages are all stubs -- there is no content that cannot be displayed in a station list for the line.

@Smartyllama: What does that have to do with anything? Both Muni and Septa have some stops with platforms, and some without. They both have articles with copy paste info. A majority of articles for both are stubs. Cards84664 (talk) 22:36, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Cards84664: Being a stub isn't a reason for deletion. And Muni includes way more than the Metro. All the Metro stations have platforms, as best I can tell. Many of the Muni stations in other modes (like the actual trolley, which the Metro isn't) do not. If you have evidence to the contrary, show it. Smartyllama (talk) 00:18, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Smartyllama: Can you clarify what you're asking for? I think you're getting Septa and Muni terminology mixed up. Cards84664 (talk) 02:47, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Cards84664: Muni Metro is light rail according to the Wikipedia article on it. Light rail stations are generally notable. The SEPTA articles in question are trolleys, which are several steps below light rail in terms of significance. The Trolleybuses in San Francisco are also maintained by Muni, but are not part of the Metro. Muni's the controlling transit authority, the San Francico version of SEPTA. They operate notable stations and non-notable ones, depending on the mode. Light rail and trolleys are simply not equivalent. I believe light rail is referred to as trolley in some parts of Europe, but in the United States, trolleys refer to another, less notable mode of transportation. Smartyllama (talk) 13:40, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep As Cards84664 pointed out, some of these stations are significant, while others may be less so. Nominating them all en masse is not a solution. If anyone has reasons why any individual station is non-notable, they can nominate it individually, but simply saying as a blanket statement that every single surface station is non-notable regardless of its significance in the system is clearly wrong.

@Necrothesp: Another note, in terms of stop notability, what should be done with the DC Streetcar articles? Cards84664 (talk) 17:19, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't know. I don't know the system. But if its stops aren't real stations then they should be deleted too. This is our standard practice. There are thousands of tram stops in European cities and many thousands more former stops on defunct tram systems throughout the world that don't (and shouldn't) have articles for just this reason. They're no different from bus stops. No reason any favouritism should be shown to existing American tram stops. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:38, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Light rail is not the same as tram. Light rail systems are higher capacity and higher speed. Whether that matters for notability is a matter for discussion, but let's make sure we're coming at this with accurate premises, please. Smartyllama (talk) 14:15, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm aware of that. But if light rail systems have street-running stops then they're not really operating as light rail systems in that section of the system, since by definition street-running cannot be at light rail speed - that requires an exclusive right of way - and the SEPTA Subway–Surface Trolley Lines and DC Streetcar do not appear to be classified as light rail systems in any case, so I'm not sure of the relevance to this discussion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:33, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I suggest moving all SF Muni/light rail discussion to another venue, like WT:WikiProject Stations. Streetcar stops are probably not notable, and some systems are definitely straddling the line between streetcar and proper light rail, so it should be determined on a case-by-case basis.

It does have a network: Hulu. It also has an airdate: October 2018. But I still understand the point being made here. Out of curiosity though, what "time and resources" are involved in moving a page? As far as I understand it, and I have moved pages before, all that is required is simply going to the move tab at the top of the screen and changing the title. I'm always open to learning from more experienced editors, so please accept my question in the genuine manner in which it was intended. BoogerD (talk) 02:07, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's more than that. We have to update all inline templates, along with the articles of cast, crew, networks and distributors as we roll by weeks without the show having a title but people signing on and confirmed in the entertainment media. An average move of that type with one editor takes two-three hours. So in our experience with television series and networks, it's better to have all the information ready to go when the show is announced with a title, cast and network (the airdate matters less as long as we have it in a certain quarter) than it is to be under an 'untitled' designation and have a lingering link that will get no traffic once the 'untitled' work gets a title.

BoogerD, I see you have been on Wikipedia for 11 years! Here is my explanation for you. It will take three or four editors five to ten minutes to review this page and !vote on it. Let's say five editors at seven minutes a piece. This page without a doubt going to be deleted, so that makes 35 minutes of wasted editor time for something that actually should not be here in the first place.

I'm sorry, ten minutes? To read an article that is a paragraph long?

Comment The sources are from independent news organizations picking up on the notable news story of one of the top two major streaming services teaming with a major production company to produce a television series. If the sources were, as you put it, "purely promotional" then they would've been on an official Hulu website. I am willing to accept/listen to the argument that it might be premature to have an article for the series until there is are some producers/writers/stars attached. However, a film or television series or special does not have to have been released or reviewed to make it notable or worthy of inclusion in an article. Note the hundreds of pages for upcoming films, television series, and specials. You are right, Wikipedia is not a promotional website. Articles should be written in such a manner as to objectively cover notable subjects. They should be written by third parties not associated with the topic or those who would have a conflict of interest. That is not the case here. I would concede that the article may have been published slightly early. However, once more information is released it will certainly be worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia. Have a nice evening.

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

This article, about an art news website, does not cite a single source and reads mostly like a news release, especially in the History section. A Google search of the website's name does not reveal any secondary sources that might vouch for its legitimacy or even mention its name.

I stumbled upon the website through this article, which doesn't seem at all like a professional piece of news, to say the least. Furthermore, I find it suspicious that the site calls itself "ArtDaily.org" while actually having a ".com" URL.

Additionally, the article's creator,

WP:COI
and make the article a blatant piece of self-promotion.

I put a

WP:PROD tag on the article, but it was removed by User:Kvng

Question: The number of Wikipedia articles that cite ArtDaily is more than 100, but do you feel that that number that should be greater than 0? Would you, in good conscience, use it for your own articles? Keeping ArtDaily only because many pages presently link to it would seem to enable rather than correct the problem.
This site fails one of the fundamental criteria for being a
WP:RS, which is to have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Since you recognize that it is a publication "based on press releases with minimal editorial control," why do you prefer to keep its article instead of encouraging editors to re-source or remove claims that come from it? Given the lack of secondary sources that mention ArtDaily, we can't even source our own observation that the site lacks the resources to fact-check. Do you think that the encyclopedic standards of Wikipedia are helped or harmed by keeping this article, whose simple existence will be enough to lead some editors to believe ArtDaily is a reputable source? Armadillopteryxtalk 16:31, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply

Don't really care how this one shakes out but do want to point out on the San Francisco museum of modern art page, one ArtDaily article has a link to this page and the other is a nonlink to ArtDaily.org. Shouldn't be all that hard to clean up if this page is deleted. SportingFlyer talk 22:20, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is presumably OK to use this site as if it were a
WP:PRIMARY source (i.e. carefully). I think the encyclopedia is helped by having an article about this source. We can and should edit the article to remove any content that makes it look any more reliable as a source than it actually is. If we delete it, we'll leave 100 redlinks and readers will make their own divergent assumptions. ~Kvng (talk) 00:45, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
In principle I wouldn't oppose keeping this article if we could find reliable secondary sources that mention ArtDaily (i.e. anything that could be used to source the article). But there don't seem to exist any such sources, so what content could the article contain? At the moment the only possibility seems to be to overwrite one wholly unsourced article with another wholly unsourced article. That solution wouldn't be acceptable per policy or even common sense, IMO. In fact, I think that if the article is deleted, the "A page with this name has previously been deleted" tag at the destination could easily include a short warning about using the site in articles. Creating red links would, hopefully, draw the attention of editors who have used ArtDaily as a source to that message. Personally, I always click (newly) red links to see what happened to pages I know used to exist.
As for considering ArtDaily a
WP:PRIMARY, I don't think it quite falls under that category. It seems to author little to none of the content that it publishes, so we can't know where any given article on the site comes from. It could come from a source close to an artist, it could come from a gallery, or it could come from a random troll, as the example I've linked above seems to. I think the lack of oversight and editing there makes it impossible to categorize, even as an unreliable source :-/ Armadillopteryxtalk 15:31, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply

If you subscribed to Business Wire or Marketwired and set up filters for art-related keywords, you'd be able to replicate this site. It's not rocket science. I looked at the first few articles that link to this site and the incoming links are there because editors used this site as an unreliable source. Deleting this and causing redlinks would actually have the added benefit of alerting others to find alternate sources in all those other articles.

Okay, I didn't see that either (all I saw was some recognition of the director and a few passing references). In that case, I might end up rewriting that whole thing - it's had a rather sad history. LittlePuppers (talk) 21:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't appear that they have a British Council award, are you mistaking the link to a British Council website for learning English (in the footer) for that? Also, thanks for helping with this. LittlePuppers (talk) 21:27, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't been able to find sources for the British Council award, so probably it was made up. Either that or it must've been a trivial award. But their name pops up several times in BC's website, so the school must be registered with them for evaluation. There's a print version of Deccan Herald about the school titled Going 'beyond academics' is the school's mantra in the school's website, which I tried to find in their archives, but could not. I believe that article has a host of good information, but accessibility is the issue due to the font size in the scan. MT TrainTalk 08:21, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notability guideline for schools is: "In practice articles on high/secondary schools and school districts are usually kept, as they are almost always found to be notable, unless their existence cannot be verified in order to stop hoaxes." This applies here. Instead of deleting it, I would recommend improving it and fixing its problems. —

See above for why I don't think 'this is what usually happens, so we should do that' is a good reason, but after discussion with Mark the train I've somewhat changed my position, and we've done some work to improve the article. I was considering withdrawing this from AfD, but I ended up not (for various reasons such as me having no experience with AfD, that it would probably end up with the same result, and me thinking (at the time, although I'm not entirely sure now) that Mark the train's speedy keep was somewhat similar, that others might have constructive comments, etc.).

  • Keep I do not know Mr. Dorkey and I have never spoken with him and am writing the article because I am interested in and read about the legal profession; the article reflects research and references that indicate that Dorkey stands out in the world of “Big Law” that is filled with narrow specialists and as a Renaissance lawyer with numerous highly reported matters across many legal disciplines (unlike a run of the mill fungible name in his profession). His notability comes from a unique long-term mix of legal practice, law firm management, active participation in politics (a controversial issue reported in the article), public service appointments, and civic leadership (multiple footnotes in the 31 footnotes applied and the 4 added ones).
Dorkey‘s substantive adaptability to changing legal environments and a management role includes the executive committee at Haythe and Curley and head of the U.S. practice and managing partner of the NY office for Torys. (I have added footnotes in Dorkey’s legal experience to document, from articles).
Sourcing-- I have added two footnotes that relate to newspaper feature stories about Dorkey; in the New York Sun and in Canada’s Globe and Mail and a total of four new footnotes that I believe respond to constructive criticism of originally unincluded items. Dorkey’s highly reported cases appear with verified Lexis citations in his bio page at Dentons and LinkedIn and he has attracted and responded to reporters from the New York Times, several times (as per my footnotes).
I would appreciate any advice/suggestions as to whether the article would be improved by removal of any footnotes for lack of special or needed substance. Would footnotes 11. 19. 21, 25, 31 warrant such consideration? Ildar2013 (talk) 21:29, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Typically you would never need to remove footnotes to improve an article: the issue with this article is, even though there are a lot of sources, none of the sources show he's anything more than a partner in a large law firm, which doesn't make him notable. The "Who's Who" guides listed prominently at the start of the article in my mind don't make someone notable; while they're great for marketing successful attorneys, being listed there doesn't make someone pass
WP:GNG. The Globe and Mail article mentions him but isn't about him. The New York Sun article is the best source, probably, but is more of a general interest interview than demonstrating notability. This article reads to me like he's nothing more than a good attorney who has done what good attorneys do for over 40 years. SportingFlyer talk 22:45, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
Thanks for clarification on footnotes. Perhaps you are unaware that US News and Best Lawyers in America, also referenced in first paragraph is the peer reviewed directory that is generally accepted in the legal profession to include the top 5% of lawyers in the country and I include a reference to that point. The other point that I believe needs to be taken into account is that the long term mix of high level political and public service while maintaining full legal practice is extremely rare. Finally I think there is a more generous and reasonable way to interpret the value of the article in the Globe and Mail; it focuses directly on Dorkey’s forward thinking attitude about lawyer coaching. Ildar2013 (talk) 18:45, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm very aware of both US News and Best Lawyers in America and they do not suffice to provide notability for Wikipedia, as any reference to him would be trivial within these articles for WP purposes. In the absence of other sources, Globe and Mail article needs to be about Dorkey. SportingFlyer talk 19:12, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
