  • Delete Has made a few unsuccessful attempts, but has never been an elected candidate. Seems to have tried his hand at a few thing, but nothing singularly notable. Deathlibrarian (talk) 09:35, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While we used to have a consensus that running for the leadership of a political party was a notability claim in and of itself, that was deprecated several years ago — now, a leadership candidate is notable only if they either win the leadership or have some other independent claim of notability besides that, such as preexisting notability for other endeavours and/or concurrent notability as an MP or MLA. Nothing here, however, constitutes a notability claim that would have gotten him an article for any reason other than the leadership race itself — and he's not the subject of enough of the sources to claim that he passes
    primary sources or pieces of his own writing, which are not notability-supporting sources either — there's only one citation here that genuinely demonstrates Lagassé as the subject of reliable source coverage in his own right, and that's just not enough. There really just isn't anything here that's compelling grounds for him to have a standalone article separately from having his name mentioned in the other articles where it's relevant to mention.

New Democratic Party leadership election, 1989 so that people reading about the leadership election can find out something about the candidates rather than just their names. Nixon Now (talk) 17:05, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply

Significant third party coverage about him where and in what notable context? The sourcing here consists of glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things, not coverage about him. Bearcat (talk) 19:46, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"B.C. teacher bids to lead NDP," Toronto Star, 10 April 1989, A9; "Teacher enters NDP race," Toronto Star, 1 August 1989, C6; Thomas Walkem, "NDP leadership candidates practice art of the ordinary," Toronto Star, 15 October 1989, A22. An article in which the topic is the subject himself is not a mere "namecheck". Nixon Now (talk) 19:50, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
None of which are covering him in a context that counts as an "inherent" notability claim — coverage generated in the context of the leadership race itself just makes him a
WP:GNG pass just because "some media coverage exists", it would take far more than just three citations to get him there. And he's not the primary subject of "NDP leadership candidates practice art of the ordinary", either — that one's about all of the candidates, not him as a topic of special interest separately from everybody else. Bearcat (talk) 19:57, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply

Wikipedia isn't paper. People reading about old leadership elections may indeed be curious about who the candidates actually were and there's no reason not to provide that information. Nixon Now (talk) 20:01, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
Yes, there is a reason not to provide that information: the need for a person to pass a subject-specific notability standard, on the strength of enough
WP:BLP1E, before a Wikipedia article becomes appropriate. The idea that we need to keep an article about everybody who ever ran for the leadership of a political party at all, even if they lost and have no other notability claim at all besides running and losing, is not new ground that Wikipedia hasn't considered and debated before. It's been taken into account, and consensus decided that it just makes them a BLP1E who doesn't qualify for an article if there's no other notability claim outside of that context itself. Bearcat (talk) 20:09, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
Can you please provide a source for this consensus in Wikipedia's policy pages? Nixon Now (talk) 20:10, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article'." A quick search of the Globe and Mail archives yields:
You are insisting that coverage must also be independent of the election in which the candidate ran, but WP:NPOL doesn't say that. Nixon Now (talk) 20:24, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Every candidate in any election would always get an automatic "GNG exempts them from having to pass NPOL" if the existence of a handful of campaign-related coverage itself were all it took to pass GNG. There are only three ways to make a candidate for office notable: (1) they win the election and thereby become the holder of the office they were running for, (2) they have some other valid and properly sourced claim of notability besides the candidacy itself, or (3) they received so much more coverage than everybody else in the same boat could also show that they can credibly claim to be a special case. Simply being able to show that a few pieces of campaign-specific coverage exists is not enough in and of itself, because if that were all it took then there would never be any non-notable candidates in any elections at all. Bearcat (talk) 20:34, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NPOL doesn't say that. Nixon Now (talk) 20:35, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
Wikipedia notability standards are written in general terms, not expanded into epic novels that preemptively address every possible question of interpretation in advance. It's not enough to read the letter of any inclusion guideline and say that it's been passed — you also need to be familiar with the established AFD consensus about how the guidelines are interpreted in cases of debate about them. And my summary was correct about how NPOL is interpreted here in cases of dispute — because every candidate in any election always gets enough coverage to claim that even though they fail NPOL they still pass GNG anyway, NPOL would be inherently disembowelled if campaign-related coverage itself were all it took to get a candidate over GNG in lieu of NPOL. So yes, a candidate for office does need to win, have preexisting notability for other reasons or show a credible reason why their candidacy is somehow a special case over and above everybody else's candidacy — the fact that those conditions haven't been explicitly stated in NPOL does not make them not true, because passing a notability standard is not just a matter of being able to claim that a person technically meets the letter of the law. Bearcat (talk) 20:44, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In other words, if its a matter of discretion. Then let's let discretion fall on the side of inclusion. Nixon Now (talk) 20:48, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Why do you say the airport is defunct and dubious? Pakistan Airlines once flew STOL aircraft from there [2] and other airlines appear to be considering it for future service (trivial reference) [3], and a plane got torched by militants there in 2010 [4]. There was also a light plane crash there in 2010. [5] It's also in the proper databases for verifiability reasons [6] [7] [8]. There are also a couple secondary sources linked in the article itself, and a trivial reference to its expansion in English-language press. I think it's definitely something that can be developed, especially since not all sources may be in English. SportingFlyer talk 02:33, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete with no prejudice against re-creation if someone wants to write a proper article. The Hindu population is very small, I can find sentences like: "The government continues to significantly respect religious freedom, especially for the several hundred non-Sunni residents including Shia Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roman Catholics, and Protestants." But noting in the way of SIGCOV comes up in quick searches. So while the article may well be correct that some Hindus arrived as migrants, presumably in the French colonial period, and although it would be in line with our many Hinduism in..., it seem wiser to delete, unless or until someone comes by willing and able to source it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:35, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On top of that, the way the fictional works in question use "lady", it is obviously the female equivalent of "gentleman", not the female equivalent of "lord"; I've been an on-and-off fantasy junkie for most of my life (I'm 29 now; my first time playing a Dungeons & Dragons-based video game was when I was 11) and have rarely encountered "Dark Ladies" -- if they exist at all, they are surely a deliberate and obvious inversion of the Dark Lord trope. Even the Korean film review linked does not refer to Hela as a "Dark Lady" but as a villain who is both dark and a lady (in the sense of simply being female -- it's not very PC, but a close read shows a bunch of English errors, and the writer's other articles are not much better).

WP:HOUNDING me. You know that's against the rules. You have no possible reason to be following me around constantly. You did so here and also at [11] which was not tagged for the Article Rescue Squadron. Dream Focus 20:29, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
You can't claim HOUNDING when this AFD was posted to ARS and I've !voted in a half-dozen other AFDs posted their in the past month. On top of that, you have clearly been the one hounding me -- both your unusually high edit count since you started interacting with me (more edits in three weeks that in the previous five months) and the actual contents of your edits (the majority of your edits for the past two weeks relate to an article you followed me to) support this. The only "hounding" of you I did was legitimate investigation into serious copyright concerns that have yet to be resolved since you refused to heed the warnings. I commented in the Sikhism caste AFD because I noticed a questionable remark made by GB Fan (not you), and had seen the AFD earlier (before you even commented there) because of a notification on Andrew Davidson's talk page. I have that talk page watchlisted because I am still waiting on his response to my three-weeks-ago request for a retraction of an earlier bogus claim he made (which made somewhat unfair assumptions about my familiarity with Buddhism) and have a tendency to
WP:AGF as a suicide pact; it had nothing whatsoever to do with you. And could you please remain focused on content? Hijiri 88 (やや) 20:50, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
I was in the AFD for that Mottainai in 2013 [12], and during your attack on the ARS you mentioned it, and how horrible you thought it was that after it ended in KEEP no additional work was done on it. I was nice enough to toss out three links to reliable sources about it for future expansion on the talk page. You then went on the attack, and refuse to let up. You even followed me to an article I made about a virus [13] among many other places. Wherever I go, you show up, sometimes with an excuse, sometimes not. The time of you going to the Sikhism AFD seems suspicious looking at your edit history. And you start your same rant against me and the ARS there for some reason. I was less active on Wikipedia for awhile, then I come back, and end up drawn into long pointless discussions with you on article talk pages, user talk pages, and AFDs all over the place. I assure you, if I could avoid any conversation with you I would. But I can't do that when you keep showing up everywhere I go. Dream Focus 01:05, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(I do not accept your half-excuse for your recent hounding of me, as it doesn't explain your massive explosion of activity in recent weeks, but I'd really rather not discuss that any further.) Promise to stop making problematic content edits and I'll stop checking your (recent) contribs; this petered out with you claiming an inability to paraphrase appropriately and criticizing the rev-del of your copyvio text. Your older contribs will of course need to be investigated regardless of whether you acknowledge and apologize for your copy-pasting and close paraphrasing, as Wikipedia cannot contain closely paraphrased text. But I am not even here because I checked your contribs -- I watch the so-called "Rescue List", the same as you, noticed the problematic non-neutral canvassing message about this AFD, and decided to show up and express an opinion -- so this whole discussion is tangential.

  • Delete Dark Lady (Shakespeare) already exists, and everything else in the article except for a single line about Latinas is unsourced (and for some reason the GBooks link there is returning an error, although I suspect, given that no page number is given, that it doesn't actually talk about a literary archetype called a "Dark Lady" and just says "shadowy woman" or something like that). Hijiri 88 (やや) 20:09, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This seems to be an article synthesized from a combination of uses of terms that would actually be fit under the Shakespeare term, the Tragic mulatto article, or simply characters with that name, rather than coverage of the actual independent topic as a notable stock character concept.--Yaksar (let's chat) 03:37, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Andrew Davidson: If you want to rewrite the article to be about something completely different (in this latest case, the dilithic "Dark Lady" motif from Italian baroque poetry), fire ahead. It doesn't change the fact that your source is not about a "character" and that the article as is is nothing but SYNTH that has nothing to do with any of the sources you and DF have located. Hijiri 88 (やや) 22:01, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete there doesn't seem to be enough sources to prove that this is a notable character in the same way as the Dark Lord is. The term Lady in the examples given is not used in the same way as Lord but rather as an analogy for woman. Dom from Paris (talk) 14:27, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Thebaconfairy The failure of the exhibition was to have the craft material artists recognized by the fine art world. There is/ was no question by the crafts world. The 2015 exhibition Fiber: Sculpture 1960-Present that was created for the Institute of Contemporary Art, and traveled to Wexner and Des Moines Art obliquely referred to the Wall Hangings exhibition: "With Fiber, Janelle Porter, the ICA's Mannion Family Senior Curator, has organized an exhibition of sweeping scope and substance, the first in four decades to assemble and address this art and these artists, until now under-recognized or long-forgotten."[1] The exhibition referred to four decades ago is Wall Hangings- the list of artists have 10 overlaps, which is almost 1/3 of the newer exhibition and slightly more than 1/3 of the Wall hangings exhibition. In string, felts & thread[2] (a prominent craft theory book) there is a section that discusses on the tactics employed by Elenor Constatine & Lenor Larsen and how it may have mitigated their intentions. —Preceding undated comment added 19:35, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

"Regrettably, given the exhibition’s importance in the history of the American fiber movement, the only national art-world press Wall Hangings received was a review that Craft Horizons commissioned from sculptor Louise Bourgeois."

I researched the three awards the article mentions and they appear to be either industry related or small time--possible the type of awards that are given out to nominees willing to join the organization? It's hard to say for sure, but it sure has that "feel" about it.

Technically, no, because deleting a page removes its revision history, which violates Wikipedia's licensing rules. XOR'easter (talk) 22:04, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is not forbidden "This may not be strictly true since attribution of authorship can be maintained in other ways, but it is troublesome and so a merge and delete is not usually done unless there is a specific and pressing problem with the redirect.", " Redirects are cheap, however, and unless the article title is confusing or objectionable, it may be preferable just to leave it as a redirect to the merge target, in which case the usual interpretation of the licensing requirements requires only that the edit summary about the merge states the name of the article from which the merged information is derived."

This article (even if properly translated into English) does not merit inclusion in Wikipedia. It relates in excessive detail the criminal activities of two brothers in Quebec. The crimes are not especially notorious (drugs and firearms possession) and the sources not especially significant.

Hi,

If you had actually read the article you would know that all the accused have been acquitted. There is no crimes being discussed.

The article is well documented and sourced, has made first page newspaper in Quebec multiple times. There is ten's of newspaper articles in Canada and around the world. Accused are now suing the state for 22,5 millions $.

Criminal court case being closed its not even close to an attempt at defense, just reporting facts based on documentation.

Finally, level of details is moderate and is exposing a concerning situation about police investigators in Quebec. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JacquesCasgrain (talkcontribs) 17:05, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment @
    run-of-the-mill case of a pair of defendants suing for perceived misconduct of the police. If anything comes of the case (if the case turns into a precedent that becomes widely cited in other Canadian court cases), then it might rise to the point of notability, but not yet.

I understand your point. It is a notable case for Quebec and its people. Google "Cozak" or "Daniel Cozak"and you'll see all the articles and the interest. I mean its a Ph.D. Chemist being accused of operating the biggest meth lab in america... and he gets aquitted by a stay of procedures... Then again i don't think you were aware of that because you did not read the article.Now that the criminal case is closed a well documented article has its place.

I don't particularly care if it is a disambig page or simply a stub article that discusses two different people with the same name.

A standalone article on a holiday that is proposed but does not exist, is not supported by policy, especially given how divisive the concept is. Public support for Brexit has declined steadily since the referendum and the impact of Brexit currently looks to be overwhelmingly negative, UKIP, the main proponents, have effectively ceased to be a political force, and there was never a holiday to celebrate joining the EEC, so an article on this as a holiday is clearly

Comment - let the record show, as the above post 100% proves, with many 'Delete' voters here, this is not about the merits of a potential 'British Independence Day' national holiday genuinely being internationally reported on eg. has been debated in the UK Parliament, has a Bill attempting to make it law in the UK Parliament, has support from recognised politicans (MEPs, knights, MPs, former UK cabinet ministers, former leader of the largest UK party, part of a 2017 general election manifesto gaining over half a million votes) - all these factors, crucially, with media coverage are there to see (or ignore, as they selectively do). It's not about the facts and the merits of what constitutes a stand alone article; it's about politics and Britain's colonial past. So Please Note: many 'Delete' posts are partisan, politically motivated and not at all based on the truth or Wikipedia standards. Mdmadden (talk) 15:31, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Urm, nope. Deleted once, after an initial 'No Consensus' vote when the topic was more relevant in the media, initially getting lots of 'Keep' posts and incredulity at totally partisan, factless 'Delete' posts from the community - go check the record. Subsequently ambushed and railroaded through by some VERY interested editors once the media attention had moved on (due to no new progress or circumstance). Since then it has been part of UKIP's 2017 general election manifesto (with literally TONS of media coverage on that specific pledge), which subsequently gained .5 million votes in general election AND now been put forward as law in the UK Parliament (with LOTS of valid media coverage). So wrong in number of deletions, and wrong in 'no new coverage'. Anything else you want to get wrong? Again, take 'Delete' posts from these types with a HUGE pinch of salt.

Comment: On the point of whether there being a bill in Parliament implying notability, it should be noted that there is also a PMB on presumed consent for organ donation right now. This PMB has received a larger amount of news coverage, several MPs who have made statements on it, a newspaper that has been campaigning for it (https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/theresa-vows-change-law-organ-11284951) and, as the Government is now backing it, it has a significant chance of passing. Another, more related, example is the Blue Passport campaign which has recieved way more press attention, many more people have taken a stance on it, also has a newspaper campaign (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5192542/uk-dark-blue-passport-back/) and the change is actually being made by the government. Both of these proposals have much more significant coverage and would therefore have more notability, but no one is proposing for them to have a separate article. Dare I say it, the reason this page keeps on getting proposed is that the people proposing it are annoyed that it isn't getting any significant attention and they think that creating a Wikipedia page for it will create more attention for it, but that's not what Wikipedia is for (or, frankly, how political campaigns work).

Comment - I think that last point drives to the heart of the matter. This page appears to have been created to advance a political view to try to make it notable, rather than reflecting a notable political view. The topic was already covered in
Aftermath of the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, 2016 perfectly adequately. But let's not forget that the title of the page it misleading and illogical, it advances the myth that the UK as a Member state of the European Union was not a sovereign and independent state, when in fact it was. Shritwod (talk) 02:14, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply

Comment - strawmen being advanced: 1) "There's some things which I say are more notable which aren't being created as articles, so this topic can't be an article." 2) "The UK was a sovereign nation already so it can't be an article". The media coverage is mainly regarding a national holiday or bank holiday or some form of commemorating or marking the 23rd June named as 'Independence Day', 'UK Independence Day', 'British Independence Day' or some variation thereof. That wasn't decided by editors, but by the public figures and politicians who advanced it and the subsequent media coverage it gained. You're both arguing against a case which isn't being put forward with irrelevant strawmen, which is why many other editors are quashing 'crystal balling' or 'non-notable' claims with clear facts. Mdmadden (talk) 12:27, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please do point out any "ad hominem attacks". I've merely dismantled your illogical straw man fallacies, which have nothing to do with you personally.

Comment you write: "basically make it the same page that was already deleted by AfD" as though this somehow advances the debate or is some kind of trump card. Multiple and wide news coverage since deletion has advanced and deepened the references available to editors. This is creating a new consensus in the 3rd AfD, self-evidently. Did you know AfDs sometimes get overturned because of new developments? No amount of
WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT can reverse that. Not to mention that the 2nd AfD needed to be ambushed by overly interested editors, after a very balanced 1st AfD resulted in no consensus. The record shows that. Mdmadden (talk) 10:37, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply

Response: As the author of the article under discussion, I am mystified why this has even come up.

  • First, WP:Ships takes the position that All ships are notable.
  • Second, the critics of this article and similar appear unaware of
    pointilism
    , a painting technique that uses individual spots of colour to paint a picture. Every one of the dots in a pointilist painting is irrelevant, but as a whole they paint a picture. The Irlam article in question is one of these dots. If one is interested in maritime history, one can pick a number of "not notable" articles and start to form a picture of loss rates, trade patterns, and the like. I am currently working on an article on the third Irlam, which had an ever shorter, less incident-filled life than its predecessor. Furthermore, the same company owned all three Irlams, (and perhaps a fourth, but the information is sparse). If I am permitted to write the article and a shipindex page and not censored, perhaps someone will learn something about entrepreneurship in the shipping business in Liverpool in the early 19th Century.
  • Third, by focusing in on one dot, we are losing sight of an even larger picture: the role of any one story in linking to other stories. The third (yet unpublished) Irlam was lost in the Great Barbados Hurricane of 1831 and someone reading that article may then explore the hurricane.
  • Fourth, removing articles like these reduces the probability that Wikipedia will delight someone. No one is delighted to find an article on Paris, or HMS Victory. However, someone tracing their family history may be delighted to find out a little more about how their great...great uncle died. True story: I was at dinner with a world-class astrophysicist. When I mentioned my bizarre hobby of writing on WP about ships of the 1793-1815 period, her remarked that one of his ancestors had been on one and told me its name. I mentioned that I had recently done A WP article on it. He was delighted to discover that family lore had paralleled what I had discovered, and was able to give me some family lore that helped me find more info. It is a strange aesthetic that says we make Wikipedia better by only covering topics about which we can write a great deal. Why do you think Wikipedia has fewer and fewer editors generating articles: all the "notable" articles are already covered.
  • Fifth, the only person harmed by these articles is me, as I spend my time researching and preparing them. Once they are up, you are free to ignore them if they don't interest you. Storage is cheap. Also, I don't know when I start pulling on a thread where it will lead. Sometimes it peters out quickly. But sometimes it doesn't. The first Irlam article started that way, and it led to the second, and if I am permitted to write it, a third, and a shipindex page linking them. If we start telling editors that one shouldn't bother researching an article unless one knows that certain other editors will find it important, we impose both a pre-publication censorship and reduce the opportunity for serendipity. Acad Ronin (talk) 12:59, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the arguments presented by Acad Ronin. Prince of Thieves (talk) 13:02, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "First, WP:Ships takes the position that All ships are notable." Then WP:SHIPS should learn to respect
    WP:SHIPS
    makes no such claims apparently.
  • Second to fifth are all very nice, but have nothing to do with what is commonly accepted practice on enwiki about what may have a separate article, and what doesn't. We are not an indiscriminate collection of information, not everything that is verifiable belongs here. We write about the notable buildings of a town and ignore the smaller dots, we talk about the notable inhabitants of a village (or students of a school) and ignore the lesser lights, we write about large or otherwise notable companies and ignore the manu local companies without which our society wouldn't run (at least in pre-internet times), ... This is not "censorship", this is setting boundaries for what this website wants to be and what is out-of-scope. Now, do you have any actual arguments why this ship is ]
You do realize, I hope, that the vessel in question was c.400 tons (Builder's Old Measurement), which at the time was a large ship. Most warships, privateers, slave ships, whalers, convict ships, etc. were smaller, some substantially so. Acad Ronin (talk) 15:29, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the Lloyds links where this number comes from, it doesn't seem to be exceptionally large, although many ships are smaller. 400 tons was a decent format, but nothing really remarkable. The same page (with every page having about 25 ships?) lists another one of 393 tons, the page before had one of 400, one of 473 and one of 555, so it looks as if this is a decent sized ship, nothing more. ]
100t is the size of a large trawler. But in 1813, this would have been correspondingly bigger and this vessel in question is 400t which is a reasonable amount bigger. Lloyds is only reporting on the biggest ships, modern reports by Lloyds refer to ships that weigh in at many thousands of tons, but this is because of advances in technology. Prince of Thieves (talk) 15:42, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Lloyds is only reporting on the biggest ships" The Lloyds sources in the article report on many, many ships, of all sizes. I'm still waiting for the actual indepth sources about this ship. ]
Well unless you want to go and visit the British National Archives it might be a long wait, because they haven't been digitised [28]. This also applies to sources such as it's loss report under the Merchant Shipping Acts, it's Registrar of Shipping registration, the ships logs and any Agreement & Crew Lists. Prince of Thieves (talk) 16:01, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Which are all primary sources. Please familiarize yourself with our notability guidelines. ]
Sorry, I was still on
WP:NRVE. But it seems other people have covered the notability aspect now. Prince of Thieves (talk) 16:34, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply

Sad because

WP:LISTCRUFT
. Content is almost entirely unsourced - it looks like someone just looked on a map and made a list of what seemed like the farthest town in each direction. Has spent the last decade tagged for original research with no improvements.

There's also a philosophical content question of what a "community" is (a municipality? a population centre? an inhabited place? a town above a certain size? a ghost town? etc) that makes sourcing this basically impossible. Madg2011 (talk) 06:23, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even if there is a legal definition of "community," the article doesn't use it. For example, two uninhabited places are explicitly listed, and several "communities" are redlinked which suggest they're either uninhabited or close to it. For NL, it lists a neighbourhood of a city as the westernmost community. Quebec's listed southernmost communities are rural municipalities that abut the US border - AB, SK, and MB all have similar rural municipalities against the border, but their "southernmost communities" are a village, a border post, and an urban area of a rural municipality, respectively.
Anyways, that's a fixable content issue, and not really the crux of my deletion argument. Original Research is the bigger issue. Madg2011 (talk) 17:25, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:GNG or any other notability measure I can think of. He's probably going to get drafted, he's probably going to play in the NFL, and then he would be a clear pass for notability at that point... but that's two "probably" hurdles which means he hasn't done that yet and no subject achieves notability for what they haven't done yet.

Comment As mentioned once above, this author's other ship articles were proposed for deletion by Brad101, and I couldn't find any sources with an initial Google search (maybe bad search terms?), but now the above users managed to find some. Yeah, you're right. This article is sorely in need of improvement, and that's why once I tagged it with {{Rewrite}}. Regards,

It appears that these Somali stubs were created without paying attention to the type of feature the name was assigned to. In this case geonames says that it's actually "Duur Gal", and that it's a wadi, not a town. I have a hard time going with wadis being notable without some actual text: the creek down the hill from my parent's house has a name, but there's no article on it in WP, and I don't think that there should be.
