I previously moved this article to draftspace to encourage development. However, the article's creator moved it back again saying completed draft. I don't feel comfortable moving this back to draftspace a second time.

After reading the sources and doing preliminary research, this hate group does not seem like a it meets Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies).

Several citations of the first few citations are just links to the hate group's social media accounts. The remaining references are reliable, but the majority of those are from

WP:RS, but it almost always is for just one or two events (that concern either Brett Favre or Soulja Boy
).

I actually think a joint-biography for Patrick Little, Jon Minadeo, and Adam Green (the three neo-nazis who compose it) would be a good fit under this article title. However, I don't think the article in its current state has much (if any) useable prose for that task. Therefore, I suggest deletion. –MJLTalk 23:29, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - this groups trolling of the aforementioned celebrities got a lot of media attention across the world, including New York Times, Washington Post, CBS News, etc. Aside from that the activities of Little (who is associated with the group) garned a lot of media attention when he was running for election and its probably better to have him mentioned in this article rather than making a stand-alone biography. The Middle East Media Research Institute now lists and tracks it as one of the notable anti-Jewish online hate groups. Benjiphillips (talk) 23:36, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Which part of NOTPROMO would be relevant? The article just documents exactly what the media has said about them. The LASTING thing is a borderline case I think... there are two separate incidents involving them last year for which they got mass media attention: Patrick Little's anti-Jewish congress campaign in California (where he was polling as second for some time) and then the online trolling of the celebrities. The Middle East Media Research Institute watchdog report which tracks groups like this and has included the GDL is from March 2019 so they would appear to be still active and noted on by such organisations after these specific incidents. At this stage it may be too early to tell whether they have a lasting notability, so this isn't a particularly strong rationale IMO. Benjiphillips (talk) 12:22, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The part that says Wikipedia articles about a company or organization are not an extension of their website or other social media marketing efforts.

Writing an article about an relatively unknown website is also a part of the learning experience for new users. It's not like this article says they're good people or anything. It just follows the RS to the best Benji was able to. –MJLTalk 14:49, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
MJL I think the article is neutral and well-written, and whether or not they are good people has nothing to do with anything. The sole issue is whether this article reports on or creates the notability. I believe in this case it is the latter. StonyBrook (talk) 15:35, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The sources used do point to the spouse, of course, but I would argue there is still enough coverage within those books to show GNG. A book doesn't need to be 'about' that specific topic to still be considered significant. One might not argue her life is relevant from a business standpoint, but from a social and general historical standpoint, of course it is. JamieWhat (talk) 04:26, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    JamieWhat Per RebeccaGreen below, most if not all sources note her as Mrs William Nelson Page which, although social convention of the era, appears to indicate that there was no notability of her own accord. Most social reporting would expect that the wife of a local dignitary would be the hostess of functions or co supporter of various local projects. There does not appear to be any mention of any activity outside that of a dutiful spouse. LessHeard vanU (talk) 12:39, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A small point - it was indeed the social convention of the time to refer to married women by their husbands' names, and that would not affect their notability if they did notable things. I consider this woman non-notable because no notable activities or achievements were reported (as you say, nothing beyond what was expected of any woman of her social standing), not because of the name used for her. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:49, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A small point, well made. LessHeard vanU (talk) 13:30, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I don't find any further information about her in Newspapers.com, EBSCO, JSTOR, etc. There are many short mentions in the social pages in digitised newspapers, which can be useful sources of information about civic activities and careers. In this case, they report only that Mrs. William Nelson Page hosted or was hosted at teas, bridge parties, whist parties (she gifted some gold enamelled pins), eggnog parties, dinners, and as house guests, etc. In 1891, if it's the same Mrs. William N. Page, she was one of 14 members of the Woman's Committee of the World's Fair Auxiliary Committee on Charities - but there were 12 of these women's committees which all had that many members or more - and she was not a chair, just a member, and may not even have been the same person.
I am not !voting Merge, as I don't see any information here which is not already in the articles about her father and/or her husband, and, while redirects are cheap, it does not seem to me that anyone outside her family would know of her as Emma Gilham Page. RebeccaGreen (talk) 06:26, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a niche-interest magazine ("the permanent hair removal industry"?!?), not

properly sourced as passing our notability standards for magazines -- the only "reference" here is a WorldCat directory entry, not any form of reliable source coverage about it that would establish its notability at all. As always, however, magazines are not automatically entitled to keep virtually unsourced articles just because they're technically verifiable as existing: the notability test is the reception of independent coverage about the magazine in sources other than just indiscriminate directories.

It could be that a redirect to EFL and a separate section on Eddowes there would be OK.

Index of computing articles

It is unclear what (if any) purpose indices like this have ("Wikipedia indexes are a type of general topics list of encyclopedic content available on Wikipedia (the other type being Wikipedia outlines)." at Category:Wikipedia indexes is the "best" explanation I could find), but any use they do have will only work if they are kept (reasonably) up to date. However, it appears that in most cases when a new article is created it is not added to the index; the recent edits to the index are mostly wikignoming (e.g. when an existing article has been renamed or deleted). Presumably, some automated process was used to generate the list in the first place (e.g. from articles tagged by the relevant wikiproject), but there doesn't appear to be any process to add new articles to it (unlike with categories which afaics make indexes like this redundant). Thus the costs of this page (e.g. misleading readers that we don't have an article about a newish subject, editor time updating links) outweigh any benefits that it might provide. DexDor (talk) 19:38, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That a page is doing more harm than good might not be a valid reason to delete an article (most AFDs hinge on the notability of the article's topic), but the page isn't an article (facts about the real world with references); it's (intended to be afaics) for navigation. A reader could reasonably assume that an index in wp is automatically updated, but the reality is that the page gets more out of date every year as new articles (e.g.
WannaCry and thousands of less prominent topics) are not added to the index. DexDor (talk) 17:57, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

WP:OSE. This discussion may well help inform a future RFC (or an XfD for a larger group of indexes), but I don't see any reason why the possibility of doing an RFC means that individual pages can't be discussed.

DexDor (talk) 21:50, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

At the guideline
Overlapping categories, lists and navigation templates are not considered duplicative states: It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic. These systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative. Furthermore, arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided. Redirects of list articles to categories are highly discouraged: list articles should take the place of the redirect. StarryGrandma (talk) 22:05, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

To my reading that talks about lists not indices. List articles provide details and comparisons instead of just a alphabetical index of article names. See for example List of compilers or List of computer magazines. PaleAqua (talk) 01:32, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Based on BOZ's note, below, regarding the addition of new sources I've struck my redirect alt; the combination of the Applecline book and MTV News is enough to solidly warrant a merge. Some of the other sources I'm not as taken with (e.g. the GAMA page simply proves the campaign setting exists by including it in a list of publications nominated for an Origins Award) so can't convert to Keep but I do think Merge is acceptable.

Vincent's publication can be viewed on Gallica, where searching for the term "hadjel" will bring up the information. It doesn't show the whole pages due to copyright, but it does show some relevant text from the pages. The entire text of the passage does appear on various websites (the opening line is "a Temki, les membres"), but of course they're all cryptozoology websites. Also, please note that this publication only discusses the hadjel, not any of the other cryptids mentioned in the article. I should say that when I added the present information to the article, I wasn't aware that the sources I used aren't considered reliable, so even if the article isn't deleted now, the information that remains when the unreliable sources are removed probably wouldn't be enough to justify an entire article anyway - and if it was, the article would have to be renamed "Hadjel," since Vincent's book doesn't mention any of the others. --Bradypus Tamias (talk) 06:51, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This page is basically a blow-by-blow of a non-notable columnist and author's life who also happens to be a bit-part actress with a charity that receives no secondary sources at all. The page appears to be authored by Schatzl herself, or an individual close to her. The prose is pure fluff documenting her pets, her various insignificant "gigs", and even her relocation to different states and her application for permanent residency. Majority of the sources are from questionable German outlets or her unverified social media accounts most of which direct to dead links. It's quite telling that even with these apparent reliable German sources, she doesn't have a page on German Wiki. Maxen Embry (talk) 16:18, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The subject is certainly much better known here in Germany than in the US therefore most sources are from Germany but that certainly should not be a problem. Her move to the US as well as here life before and after the move was covered in detail in a German TV series by VOX (German TV channel), her books have been published in Germany and her TV and film appearances have been in Germany. Again that shouldn't be a problem as Wikipedia isn't just for people notable in the US. As all this was already some years ago some sources might not be reachable anymore but that can happen to online sources. I approached Schätzl 2013 myself for the release of an image under CC license, as I quite often do for articles, and she kindly sent me some photos with the usual release form. I forwarded her email with the attached pics to OTRS where I'm sure it is still archived. So IMHO she fulfilled in Germany the WP:BIO 'nutshell' criteria: A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

  • Delete unless some impressive reliable sources appear. This may or may not become a case which established some legal precedent, but not yet as far as I can tell. Yes some newspapers have reprinted the chaff of hearsay and some rather ill advised quotes from the subject, but based on my observations of social media in the last week, any notoriety for the case is the Twitter enthusiasm for salacious reposts, click-bait, abusive imagery and the excuse to say something offensive or nasty about "balls" and trans women at the same time. This could as quickly evaporate next week and does not cross the threshold of
    GNG. The suggestion of inclusion in a larger article makes more sense to me, once the legal issues are better understood, if any. Based on the reported comment from the tribunal, that means waiting until November 2019 at the earliest, at which point this may come to naught. -- (talk) 16:07, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep. The coverage clearly includes Europe, North America, and Australia. Clearly meets GNG.

XavierItzm (talk) 16:21, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The CBC covers a lot of events that do not have Wikipedia articles, or do you honestly believe Wikipedia must have an article for the event "At an airport in Rome recently, 336 Air Transat passengers sat in a plane on the tarmac for six hours"? This is not actually a legal case as far as I can tell. The tribunal has given no opinions and will not for a couple more months. Even when the tribunal gives a statement it may be to give no statement at all. That's not a good basis for Wikipedia notability for an event. -- (talk) 16:28, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • XavierItzm: not trying to be a jerk here, but do you see that blue link in my post? It leads you to an op-ed where the writer states "While the Yaniv case has been going on for a while now, you may not have heard much about it, as it has largely been covered by the rightwing press."

  • You should take that up with the Guardian. What it means is that there is a dearth of high quality sourcing and a wealth of crap. Where is that mainstream reliable coverage that adds up to more than a subsection within another article? We have a CBC article and a Globe and Mail article - but we have no decision, virtually none of the
    WP:INDEPTH coverage that could demonstrate a a lasting impact, and a bunch of op-eds that come pretty much exclusively from the same perspective. We're at stub-length and we're pretty much out of stuff to say. Nblund talk 16:54, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

I'm arguing that stub articles that can't be improved should be deleted or merged. We don't judge noteability based on expectations about the future, we judge them based on their current status. If you were to create a "lasting impact" subsection in this entry, what would you write? Nblund talk 17:38, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • So if this article was to be merged somewhere, because this one issue was likely to be too insignificant, in which direction would you seek to merge it? Transgender issues in Canada? Transgender issues generally, vis a vis the trans / TERF conflict? Or to Jessica Yaniv? However that article would be heavily negative and the term "sexual predator" would certainly be on the table, as that's how they are seen and described by many commentators [12] (and yes, it's a chilly day in Hell today, as I'm agreeing with Miranda Yardley over anything).
That said, I think that long-term this is going to produce case law which is known to every Canadian law student within a few years, whichever way it goes. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:49, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The case was previously mentioned on the
WP:BLPN discussion for lack of sourcing - but that would at least be a plausible place to put the information.

  • One thing that it isn't (and basic research will show this) is a single new event. There are a number of issues to Jessica Yaniv as a "campaigner for trans rights" [sic], some profoundly negative.

Que? I'm "conflating" an article using the person's birthname with an article using the person's current name because both names reference the same person, and both names were discussed in the deletion review.

support I wouldn't be overjoyed at that, as I'd see it as failing WP's vital role in ongoing investigative jourmalism. However as WP doesn't have such a role, and BLP significantly (and rightly) limits how far WP can go in that direction, it's probably the best option available to WP at this time.

I mean, there was at least a Toronto Sun story about it, and checking gnews now, at least a CBC and a UK Guardian article on it, all well above the other "tabloid-ish" sources that appear too. It is a fair story to be covered on both the Tribunal's page and Yaniv's page in minimal detail, at least until the Tribunal makes a ruling and determining if legal action is needed.

These sources are under discussion on the article talk page. This is rather pointless forum shopping. Summary:
1. Is in French, it's just reposting agency material from other sources in English. It does not even have a named author.
2. Has a transphobic title and seems designed to be click-bait for transphobic comments and hostile allegations posted at the bottom, it is redundant to better and less transphobic sources.
3. Appears abusive, deliberately misgendering the subject and is about a genuinely fringe conspiracy theorist, despite you reposting this source multiple times in the article, you have in no way addressed the open discussion of it being a highly unreliable source for Wikipedia.
4. Is totally irrelevant to the tribunal case, as it is a tangential mention of a twitter spat about calling Yaniv "female", while the actual newspaper article is mostly about something else entirely.
5. "The Now" was sold in 2015 and no longer exists, so what are you talking about?

If you remove the Glasgow Herald (the only one of these I'm familiar with) as not meeting RS, then clearly you're just out to remove things, whether they meet RS or not.

The Vancouver Sun article being cited is syndicated content from

The Vancouver Sun article is by Graeme Gordon is identical to the same article in The Whig, no doubt it's been sold on to other Post Media organs, despite not being marked as syndicated. The article deliberately misgenders the trans woman it is about, so it's just hostile transphobic crap in my view, highly unsuitable for any BLP related article. -- (talk) 20:35, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think that Gordon wrote the article for the Vancouver Sun, or do you think the Vancouver Sun simply reprinted it from the Toronto Sun? The reliability of a syndicated news story should be judged by the reputation of it's original publisher, because that's ultimately who has editorial control over the content. In this case, the original publisher appears to be The Toronto Sun (a tabloid), and the story is syndicated through Post Media (the company that owns both papers) and the original author is Graeme Gordon (who seems to be... on his way to a Pulitzer).

  • Well "your view" certainly fails WP:RS, so no-one cares. Nor does the article misgender Jessica Yaniv.

Why would anyone care? It misgenders a trans woman without any attempt at correction despite this being nonsense from a reported conspiracy theorist that nobody has heard of or cares about. We cannot use it in any BLP related article. It is written to be deliberately hateful and no matter how much Andy Dingley loves it, presumably because it includes some bizarre and unsupported unverified hearsay about child abuse, it is still transphobic crap, adds no value for the article about the tribunal case, and a really daft unreliable source to invest time debating. -- (talk) 21:04, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RS, since Fae is not a secondary source. What matters is if their argument is cogent.

This is mostly same recycled material previously published to tabloid journalism poor quality standards, with unsourced hearsay, by Postmedia Network. The Wikipedia article of this AfD is not about the antics of the plaintiff, or how social media reports it. This source has been discussed on the article talk page, and it remains irrelevant as it adds nothing to the article about the BC Tribunal case, because this is an article about the case, not reportage from day to day about social media allegations about the plaintiff. Even the claimed arrest is stated ambiguously in that article and it is unclear if there will be any consequences at this point that would have any bearing on the case the article is about. If you want to use it, create an article about the personal life of the plaintiff, rather than the case. -- (talk) 21:41, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and consider moving to "Jessica Yaniv". The case has been widely covered enough that I've known a lot about it for the past couple of weeks, despite having little general insight into either Canadian legal events or the debates around transgender issues more broadly. There's something notable to be discussed here. If there's any serious
    WP:GNG objection, I'll look up sources, but that I don't think notability should be contentious. The BLP1E issue is really about how to structure Wikipedia's coverage and I think an article about Yaniv herself is the best way. It's the cleanest way to incorporate relevant biographical detail and the only alternative title I can see would be whatever the official title of the case before the BCHRT is. I don't see any advantage to choosing that and it isn't the "common name" in the sense that anyone will be searching for it.

  • I moved this to "waxing case"--because it's not about genitalia being waxed, because the sources don't call it a "genital waxing", and because "waxing" or "bikini waxing" is what we call it on Wikipedia. Not quite sure why this sensationalist name was chosen for the article. Drmies (talk) 23:37, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm personally fine with that. I would prefer "Yaniv v. Various Waxing Salons" personally.

Was the case renamed after the naming restriction was lifted? I think the title is (or was originally) "JY v. Various Waxing Salons". I can see the argument for that title, though it's a little opaque; some redirects could cover the opacity issue well enough. Personally, I'd think it's simplest to structure coverage around Jessica Yaniv. The article should be kept, anyway, whether that involves a rename and some refactoring or not. › Mortee talk 00:29, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes. It's now "Yaniv v. Various Waxing Salons". I'd be happy with that as a name. I'd also prefer Jessica Yaniv and broadening the scope, but can't see adequate sourcing to achieve that as yet.
I'm not impressed with this rename. It's undiscussed on a clearly hugely contentious topic, which is bad enough. Also it is absolutely about genital waxing, that's the whole basis of it. Nor is it bikini waxing.
The weird thing is, in my far-from cosmopolitan village of Llanfairpodunk I could easily have 'the full English' waxed for me, any day of the week, by some cheerful local ladies with rubber gloves, no shame, a post-Viz sense of humour and presumably some sort of powerful (below-the-)belt sander.

I'm not the person you were responding to, but BLP1E applies when three criteria are met and I think it's clear that the last two do not apply. As for WP:EVENTCRIT, this has been widely reported for the last year or so and continues to generate new media every day. It has worldwide reach in such reliable publications as The Economist and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It clearly satisfies that policy as well.

  • Comment If I am reading these correctly:
Jessica Yaniv genital waxing case
(or similar).
WP:EVENTCRIT
appears to be satisfied wrt national (Canadian) and international coverage. Whether the event will be durable remains to be seen, of course.
WP:SIGCOV
again appears to be satisfied by the number of independent and high quality RS's, and although there also exist very many dependent and low quality comments, these do not make the good ones disappear.
Is there an aspect of any of these policies I am not seeing?— James Cantor (talk) 14:25, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:EVENTCRIT has been satisfied. We don't having evidence of lasting impact (in fact, we have legal analysts a legal analyst saying this probably won't matter), and we don't have evidence of significant, diverse, or in-depth coverage. If we focus only on the truly high quality sources (The CBC, The Economist) we see very little evidence of anything beyond routine coverage of the basic facts of the case with no followup.

You're right, I shouldn't have used the plural there. Nblund talk 20:43, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are now TWO legal analysts quoted in the article. In addition to the one mentioned by Nblund and Cosmic Sans (the attorney who said this case might not matter), there is a transgender attorney, who makes a cogent observation about the significance of this case.--FeralOink (talk) 09:22, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for, and retract my prior comment. Morgane Oger is often described as an advocate, and I mistook that for legal advocate. She is not an attorney. There *is* another legal analyst who is quoted extensively on the case, Howard Levitt, an employment and labour lawyer with decades of experience. The source publication seems to be disfavored in earlier comments, but the actual content of Attorney Levitt's article (see JY case shows that human rights tribunals can undermine those they should serve) is worth inclusion (although maybe more suitable for the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal Wiki entry), e.g. "It would seem that transgender rights are now trumping those of women, religion, ethnic rights and family values... cases such as this are ultimately weakening the protections minority groups require."--FeralOink (talk) 09:55, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pretty dubious on including yet another Post Media outlet here. Levitt is a lawyer, but this is clearly not a dispassionate legal analysis. It's an opinion piece that argues that Canada should abolish human rights tribunals, written by the guy who represents Jordan Peterson. Nblund talk 15:15, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This discussion seems a bit like "circling the wagons". Just because Wikipedians decide that something is not important does not change reality. This J.Yaniv case is one of the top three transgender cases in society. It will quite likely set precedents in Canada and elsewhere for what is allowed and what is not. Pretending that it's not important is like "the emperor's new clothes". The general public and the media still know that it's important. Lehasa (talk) 15:01, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Others have gone as far as to request speedy deletion.
For both BLP and speedy deletion , only when information is unsourced or poorly sourced is it ripe for deletion. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion - with none of those criteria being fulfilled in this case. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Attack_page states that to be considered an attack page, a biographical article would need to be entirely negative in tone and unsourced or poorly sourced. Neither of those criteria apply.
Among others, the following sources have been cited above: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Le Journal de Montréal, Vancouver Sun, The Herald (Glasgow), The Now (newspaper). The article itself is now sourced by (among other sources) The Economist, Yahoo! News, The Globe and Mail. It also contains links to multiple decisions by the Tribunal in that case. For example, to lift the publication ban: http://www.bchrt.bc.ca/shareddocs/decisions/2019/jul/147_Yaniv_v_Various_Waxing_Salons_2019_BCHRT_147.pdf which means it is not a crystall ball article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_crystal_ball), but an actually pending tribunal case, with a scheduled ruling in 3 months per https://globalnews.ca/news/5698337/bc-human-rights-trans-waxing-case/, which means "the event is notable and almost certain to take place." (for the record, GlobalNews.CA which I cite here, and is also cited in the article, is a reliable Canadian source (https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/global-news/ ) that also has its own WP article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_News )
This also means that the requirement of Verifiability (information published in reliable sources, and articles should cite those sources whenever possible) has undoubtedly been fulfilled.
Some editors disagree with the way the information has been presented in the reliable sources or with the information itself, but that is a reason which isn't valid for the deletion process: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction_to_deletion_process#When_to_not_use_deletion_process?
Articles on topics you wish didn't exist for personal belief reasons – Wikipedia contains information on all topics, not just those which any person or group agrees with.
Finally, because of the amount of reliable sources covering the tribunal case, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#Notability_is_not_temporary : "once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage."
For those complaints about the quality of the article right now, the deletion policy also states: When to not use deletion process? Articles that are in bad shape – these can be tagged for cleanup or attention, or improved through editing.

  • Delete this article is a horrible violation of NPOV principals.

I can't read the full article, but the author describes herself as a columnist, and it seems to be simply uncritically passing along the views of Meghan Murphy, a fairly fringe anti-trans blogger.

Opinion pieces wouldn't be the right way to cite factual claims, but why wouldn't they contribute to establishing notablity? If serious publications have, through their editors, chosen to dedicate space to a topic, opinionated or not, isn't that relevant? This might be a side issue in which case perhaps I should be asking it on a different page, but it's puzzling me. › Mortee talk 00:11, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:primary and non-neutral by definition. Maybe they carry some small amount of weight, but they clearly shouldn't be conflated with reliably sourced in-depth news coverage because they can't form the basis of an acceptable entry. Nblund talk 00:34, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

Lilipo25, has The Guardian covered it in their regular news coverage, or are you referencing this opinion piece? That piece itself says that "While the Yaniv case has been going on for a while now, you may not have heard much about it, as it has largely been covered by the rightwing press." Nblund talk 23:47, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NOTE
. And a noted newspaper columnist pointing out that only the right-wing press has been covering something and it's been ignored by the left as an indictment of media partisanship doesn't negate anything, either - she's covering it.
Frankly, even if this story were covered nowhere except Canada, it has gotten extensive coverage here and that's enough to warrant the article. Lilipo25 (talk) 00:38, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Because Op-eds are not particularly useful for writing neutral and verifiable articles.
And op-eds are neither. Maybe you have a different interpretation, but it's clearly not the same thing (in terms of usefulness for encyclopedia writing) as a Guardian news article - and so I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing actual news coverage. It's a couple of paragraphs from a columnist that provides no new information, and it also notes the fact that the mainstream press has largely ignored this story. Nblund talk 00:48, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply
]
But no one is proposing to use the Op-eds that way; you are arguing that they don't count toward notability, not whether or not they can be used as neutral sources on the article. There are other sources, particularly in Canada, that would qualify better as
WP:RSS
.
Frankly, half an hour after the creation of an article is just not an appropriate time to nominate it for deletion on these grounds. I spent most of the last three weeks working on an article that had existed for years, just improving it to make it encyclopedic. It's rare for an article to go up in its completed form immediately (and if I'm not mistaken, when an article DOES go up like that, Wikipedia suggests that it should be viewed with suspicion as having possibly been created by a paid professional). Standard practice is to suggest improvements/help improve it yourself, not immediately move for deletion. Lilipo25 (talk) 01:06, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But that's the whole point of
WP:SIGCOV: we need to have enough reliable secondary coverage to write a factual article, and since op-eds are not really reliable or secondary, they don't get us to that point. Why would we consider a bunch of sources that are basically useless for actually writing an entry? This article was created as an attack page by a now blocked sockpuppet, after several editors explained why it shouldn't exist, and after a BLPN discussion where several editors objected to the existence of this story even as a subsection of the BCHRT entry. If the sockpuppetry had been caught earlier, it would have been a candidate for speedy deletion. So, no. I don't think this was premature. Nblund talk 01:34, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply
]
I disagree that there were no RSSs - there were and are Canadian newspaper and news site articles that meet the requirement. Not to mention that a number of the Op-eds also contained factual information about the case that could have been used, and were written by reputable columnists for major newspapers. Wikipedia guidelines encourage editors not to delete incomplete or poorly sourced articles as soon as they go up because editors need to be given a chance to work on them and improve them. Sorry, but I definitely think you jumped the gun here. You should have made recommendations for improvement of the article and given it a chance before nominating for deletion.30 minutes is not sufficient time to allow for an article to be improved before asking for it to be deleted. Lilipo25 (talk) 05:15, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If want to more explanation as to why I afd'd this, you can bring it up on my user page, but this seems off-topic here: the speed of the nomination really has no bearing on

Just to be clear: an SNP official (not an MP, AFAIK) tweeted about it and got in trouble, and Coalition members in a state legislature in Victoria said it factored in to a decision to oppose a gender ID bill that they obviously would have always opposed to begin with. I don't see any indication that this was actually a part of legislative debates, and the past several days haven't produced new straight news coverage from anyone other than Post Media - which admittedly is humping this story for every last ounce of scandal. It's almost as if they have all have the same editorial stance with minimal autonomy or independence, and a penchant for pushing culture war stories no one else cares about.

WP:TNT: While the topic of men's psychology is obviously notable, this article is a hodge-podge of unrelated theories on the relation of masculinity to everything from the gender of God to men's "fear of the feminine" to the works of William Shakespeare. I looked back through the page history and saw nothing particularly worth saving. I suggest that this article be redirected to Masculinity (without prejudice to the creation of a MEDMOS-compliant Men's psychology or Male psychology.) Cheers, gnu57 03:00, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

This lengthy deletion discussion, closed less than two months ago, determined that the subject was not notable. The new article has been written in good faith by a new contributor, and the content is different, but the available sources and the subject's notability do not appear to have changed in the time since the last discussion.

Thanks for adding the pings MJL. I didn't want to do that myself - given the previous discussion closed with delete, I was concerned that it would look like canvassing.

  • Delete I analyze on the same basis as David Epstein, but weigh the factors differently. A co-edited volume counts much less than an authored book, and so there is only one substantial publication. This isn't enough for either WP:AUTHOR (I point out that every academic book has at lest one and usually 2 reviews, regardless of significance--the point of academic reviews of academicbooks is to tell scholars what other people are publishing--its the humanities equivalent of being listed in an abstracting service) , and her work is not cited sufficiently for WP:PROF as an influential academic./ With respect to the possibility of WP:PROF as a public influence (which, as pointed out, is essentially thesame as WP:GNG, though generally interpreted fairly narrowly), there is not substantial coverage. If references 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10 were substantially about her, or her work, they would be, but they are not. It is necessary to read the references, not just look at thetitles: in each of them, she is just one of several people quoted, to add material or perspective to the reporter's or commentator's content. None ofthe 5 give her special attention. Nor should we give any credance to the reporter describing someone they quote as an authority--that's the routine description, in order to justify using them in the first place: everyone whose opinion an essayist or reporter uses automatically is called by them an "authority". There is possibly some place to build an index of everyone ever mentioned in a magazine or newspaper, but it isn't Wikipedia. DGG ( talk ) 05:22, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to take anything away from the article author but a secondary twist on a "professor" now written as a "historian of American political rhetoric" that "authored" two books does not add to notability. One book, one co-authored book, and some mainly Trump rhetoric is what is presented. The subject at least did throw in some "history" in one rhetoric commentary when comparing Trump to Andrew Jackson. Otr500 (talk) 21:42, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I believe you furnished this assurance in the 1st AfD as well. Is it possible that new users are just a lot more sophisticated nowadays, knowing esoterica like RFAs after having edited only a half-dozen articles? Perhaps. Or, perhaps COI is a more parsimonious explanation. In the 1st AfD @Xxanthippe: geolocated the anon IP back to the subject's home institution and raised basically this same concern. Given the history and the fairly quick recreation of the article from RFA by a new editor, I think it is reasonable that commentators here should be aware of this possibility. Agricola44 (talk) 17:09, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • To add, the user page implies this person does not even understand the functionality of his/her talk page (I can almost hear a cutesy tee hee hee when reading it), but this same user navigates RFA? Beg pardon if I find this incongruous. Agricola44 (talk) 17:16, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Uh... are we now expecting users to know everything about how Wikipedia works from the get-go? There are huge edit notices for RFA. None exist for FF's userpage. MJLTalk 17:19, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Were you not even a little surprised when this editor beat you to the punch on an RFA maintenance task? That's some pretty impressive procedural knowledge for a new user, who claims to not know what her talk page is for. Agricola44 (talk) 17:40, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, this may sound petty, but it kind of bothers me you keep calling
WPRA RFA. I really don't get why this is an issue to be discussed at this AFD unless we're following Wikipedia:Please bite the newbies.

AGF like it's going out of style, but this is a more compelling case. FetalFlaw's talk page shows no signs of having a COI.

*That said, brief quotes in the popular press ≠ notability. We are still left with an academic who has written only book, a book that has had demonstrably little impact on a field of studies - the rhetoric of nationhood - that has been hot in the years since she published. If a book matters, other scholars engage with it, they don't just namecheck it. No has shown that ANY of the the many, many books and articles on the rhetoric of nation building in the early American Republic that have done more than namecheck Merciaca.

My Spanish is pretty ropy, but the one source used is linked from the es.wiki article, and seems to cite Borges' A Universal History of Infamy which is, needless to say, not a reliable source.
