WP:BEFORE of websites, newspapers and searchable books, reveals nothing on this event (zero SIGCOV), outside of blogs/instagram/commercial sites linked to the event sponsor. Unlike the very notable Baja 1000 race, this event has no notability, but a very persistent new editor who is famiiar with how to "game" WP:A7. After a few random pre-edits, they "dropped" the original article to Mainspace in one go; and post A7, dropped a cut-down version, but also in one go.

SportingFlyer I have done the BEFORE; nothing approaching RS or SIGCOV on this rally (unlike the Baja 1000). Not a single decent newspaper has done a piece on it.

Weak Delete The government document is a request a permit to hold the race in an environmentally protected area. The weather channel is a video about the weather in Baja, apparently sponsored by the race as an infomercial.

Delete - Per Nom, No in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources.Celestina007 (talk) 13:00, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Purely local coverage in a person's own hometown media market, in exclusively local interest contexts like being president of an organization's local chapter, is not in and of itself a free pass over
WP:GNG. To earn a place in Wikipedia, a person needs to have a much more nationalized claim of significance, and much more nationalized coverage for it, than just a smattering of hits in a midsized city's community hyperlocal. As I've explained to the creator in other concurrent AFD discussions on their recent work, GNG is not just "count up the media hits and keep anything that surpasses an arbitrary number" — lots of people get purely local coverage in contexts that fall below our inclusion tests, so GNG does not just consider the number of footnotes: it also tests the depth of how substantively any given source is or is not about him, the geographic range of how widely he's getting covered, and the context of what he's getting coverage for, and some types of coverage count for a lot less than others do. The New York Times hit, for example, is not about Jeff Ritterman, but just glancingly mentions his name a single time as a giver of soundbite in an article about something other than him — and that is not a type of "coverage" that bolsters his notability at all, because he is not the subject of the piece.

One article in the local community weekly is not a magic GNG pass all by itself, and proposing local adoption of a municipal bylaw is not a notability claim. He didn't "invent" soda taxes — he just proposed Berkeley's (but not Mexico's) adoption of an idea that already existed in other places before he was even born, so he has no "inherently" notable role in the existence of the overall concept. Bearcat (talk) 17:54, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wait a minute here, I think the sources say he proposed and got the Mexican soda tax passes and SF Gate is the San Francisco Chronicle, The Berkeley Daily Planet and San Jose Mercury News are not bulletin boards of newsletters they are serious journalism and he is mentioned in 3 articles therein in depth, and that does meet the GNG imho.Ndołkah☆ (talk) 05:31, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he's got better sourcing. There are plausible notability claims here, but there's nothing that's so "inherently" notable that it would entitle him to rest entirely on

Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles with which the Kamms are associated.

Minor fictional character. Clearly a recurring feature in lots of D&D media, but no evidence of real-world notability and no secondary sources cited. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:59, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This started off as an OTRS ticket asking about the supposed falls, but I've done a fair amount of research and I simply cannot find any verification that this is anything more than an odd sounding with little or no further verification. The vast majority of the information in the article seems to be either
WP:OR (based largely on the NOAA page) or from the interview given by the singular newspaper source. Everything else that I'm finding online is either a mirror of us or them.

WP:LAUNDRYLIST and does not provide adequate information in order to qualify for its own list. One small college out of the thousands that exist does not warrant its own residence hall article. AmericanAir88(talk) 17:42, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply
Keep. There is no way this should be deleted, because merging to the college article would be obviously superior, but in fact I think "Keep" is better. There is no need for the nominator to be derogatory about this college, and there is almost always sufficient information about a college or university's buildings to justify a separate list-article about them. The college is notable. It is reasonable to split out coverage of the buildings when the article gets long. Also, deletionist editors seem to forget all the time that list-articles are good for reducing the number of articles in wikipedia, because they allow coverage of buildings in just one article. It is often a solution for too many separate residence hall articles to combine them into one list-article, which is what we have here already.
This college has a couple buildings which are separately listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which are only briefly mentioned in the college article. It would be best probably to cover those buildings and the residence halls in one list-article of the college's buildings. So I suggest closing this AFD as Keep, with intent/suggestion to move/rename it to be about all buildings at the university. Then I personally will be happy to expand the coverage there, including with known-to-be-reliable/great sourcing about the National Register ones. --Doncram (talk) 22:51, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Doncram: It seems that your vote is more of a merge/move rather than a keep. Just because some buildings are on the NROHP, doesn't mean there should be a list of all residence halls in this university. Like I said above in my rationale, there are thousands of colleges that do not have lists of their own residence halls and can easily supplement that by a link to website or mention in the target article. "Residence Halls at Winona State University" is not a proper redirect title, nor is it notable for a separate list. I suggest that if you want this article to not be deleted, that you consider merging or moving as a rationale. AmericanAir88(talk) 18:14, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I try to make my votes in the standard terms recognized by
wp:AFDSTATS
and given in AFD instructions. "Move" or "Rename" are not standard outcomes. I reiterate, there is no way this should be outright deleted, because there is available good alternative of merger or redirect. And further, this is fine as a start for an overall article about buildings at this university, which is fine to have, and I agree to develop it further in that way. The correct way to describe that decision is "Keep", perhaps with endorsement of moving/renaming/developing it.
Note, as Hog Farm suggests, the list-article can/should cover the library and the performing arts center as well, and perhaps when editing the list-article i may choose to merge them in, or perhaps not. It is not necessary to have an AFD discussion about just a merger; I don't think this AFD was needed in fact.
AmericanAir88, in your reply to me and more in your reply to Hog Farm, you seem to suggest that leaving a redirect behind is not possible or not desirable. Au contraire, in my opinion that is fine and good to do. It allows the edit history of the contributions to be kept, and "redirects are cheap". You don't have to go around creating a few thousand similar redirects at every other university article; there is no way that leaving a redirect here compels you to do that. Here there has been an article at this exact title which the original editors might be interested in finding, and there no doubt exist other copies of this article in copycat sites, and it is useful to keep the redirect for those looking for the original article, even if the article is moved to List of Winona State University buildings or similar, like so many others in Category:Lists of university and college buildings in the United States. --Doncram (talk) 22:57, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Selective Merge to Winona State University#Housing. This shouldn't be entirely deleted, but as it is, there is no way that an article specifically about residence halls at this university passes GNG. The sources in the article are all self-published, and all the coverage I can find is either self published or trivial. If a list of campus buildings is made in the future, I think it'd be best to merge WSU's Performing Arts Center and maybe Krueger Library there too. Hog Farm (talk) 01:33, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Hog Farm: Is a merge needed for this type of article? The redirect this creates is not an encyclopedic term and for equality, it would need the thousands of other colleges to have a redirection with a similar title. You have mentioned that this is not notable, but I respect your rationale. However, I believe this still warrants a deletion discussion. AmericanAir88(talk) 18:14, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Like i comment above, there is no need for "equality" that way. I argue for "Keep" above, but if the decision was merge to the target suggested by Hog Farm, then leaving a redirect behind is very appropriate. For one thing, it would allow me or anyone else to go back to the original content and see the contribution history, perhaps after finding additional sources. In this case I am sure there are enough sources for a totally defensible list-article of buildings, and I absolutely will resurrect the article and develop it into a list-article of buildings at Winona State University, if for some inexplicable reason the closer wanted not to take the explicit "Keep" decision. With either "Merge" or "Keep" decision we will end up in the same place, with a list-article of buildings having this page's edit history. --Doncram (talk) 22:57, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Hog Farm. I agree the subject does not have independent coverage to meet GNG. But a list of residence halls in the housing section of the university article is appropriate. A very selective merge, leaving out the trivia/OR leaves little more that a list and maybe 1-2 sentences on each hall. Also agree with Doncram that Merge leaves a redirect which preserves edit history. I do not understand AA88's thoughts that redirects must be "encyclopedic". Anyone who has spent anytime at RFD knows the standard is keep if anyone finds it useful. Redirects are only deleted if a wholly implausible search term. But keeping this redirect does not mean thousands more would be needed for "equality", although if someone did so they would probably be kept. MB 02:37, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These are not even actual charaters in the Simirillion, in that they do not really do anything in the work, especially nothing to advance the plot.

San Jose Mercury News is perfectly adequate to establish notability. The vast majority of local politicians do not receive such significant coverage in major regional newspapers Cullen328Let's discuss it 07:19, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply
]
Every city councillor in every city can always show as much local coverage as this shows — if this is enough coverage to make Jim Rogers more notable than most other city councillors, then every city councillor is always more notable than most other city councillors and the entire concept of NPOL is automatically rendered completely meaningless because nobody in politics can ever fail it anymore. The notability test for a city councillor is not just "local coverage exists in the local media", because every city councillor can always show that — it is "he has a credible claim to being much more nationally significant than the norm for this level of political office", and that test is not automatically passed just because his city happens to be a suburb of a larger media market whose main local newspaper is more famous than other cities' local newspapers. Richmond, in and of itself, is smaller than the city I grew up in — so its city councillors are not more special than the city councillors in my hometown just because Richmond happens to be a suburb of an even larger city whose local media is more famous than my hometown's local media. If Rogers clears the bar on the sourcing shown here, then every city councillor in existence automatically also clears the bar. Bearcat (talk) 08:04, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bearcat, you are factually wrong if you assert that every city council member in every medium size city gets coverage in major newspapers like the 20 paragraph article about Rogers in the Mercury News. Nobody in Northern California calls Richmond a "suburb" of anything, certainly not San Jose. Richmond is a working class port city with a long history of shipbuilding and automobile manufacturing. It is definitely not a "suburb". Cullen328Let's discuss it 20:44, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Let's be clear here, the standard is "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." so he has gotten significant coverage in reliable sources. That is a cut and paste from the GNG that you mentioned. And your assessment does not support what the GNG says and is Original Research at worst, overzealous dissent at best I would say. Furthermore POL states, "People are 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." 18 is multiple and in secondary sources, including several in depth. The various newspapers are intellectually independent of each other and of Jim Rogers. Furthermore OTHERSTUFF applies here "Delete We do not have an article on y, so we should not have an article on this." This article stands by itself, we this discussion does not decide if other stuff should exist or not, the fact that there are millions of other articles that could be created on other councilors is not under consideration here. They would have to stand on their own merits. It's too bad your hometown doesn't have coverage as great as Richmond, maybe Richmond is better for it maybe not but tell me what city is that? I would love to create an article on another city council.Ndołkah☆ (talk) 08:22, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Let's be clear here: if the only notability test that people actually had to pass was that some local coverage exists in their local media, and the existence of such purely local coverage handed them an automatic GNG pass that exempted them from having to actually clear the defined notability criteria for their occupation, then we would have to keep an article about every city councillor in every city on earth; every school board trustee in every city on earth; everybody who ever opened a local restaurant or boutique; everybody who ever won a high school poetry contest or battle of the bands competition; every president of an elementary school parent teacher association or a condo board; every teenager who ever had two pieces of human interest coverage written about his battle against a health challenge; every high school athlete; my mother's neighbour who got into the local papers a few years ago for finding a pig in her front yard; every murder victim on earth; and me. In other words, if we do that, we're not an encyclopedia anymore — we're just a worthless LinkedIn clone.
Which is precisely why, as I previously pointed out and was correct about, GNG is not just "count up the footnotes and keep anything that surpasses an arbitrary number". GNG also takes into account the depth of the coverage, the geographic range of the coverage, and the context of what the person is getting coverage for, and assigns much less value to localized coverage than it does to nationalized coverage. A person does not automatically get into Wikipedia on GNG grounds just because some local coverage exists in local-interest contexts: their coverage has to demonstrate a nationalized profile for reasons of nationalized significance before it counts as notability-making coverage under GNG. Bearcat (talk) 08:51, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your just not citing policy and everything else is irrelevant here. The GNG is all that matters here. Where in policy does it state that you must have national coverage?Ndołkah☆ (talk) 08:58, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please read
WP:ONLYESSAY: specifically, the part about how we have "policies" to tell us what to do, and guidelines to tell us how to do it. "Policy" is not the sum total of all the rules we apply and follow — policy, in fact, is only for the most very general statements of broad principle, while most of our rules are actually communicated and covered by things called guidelines and actual practice rather than by "policies". Policy is for base things like "don't attack other editors" and "don't make unsourced allegations of criminality against our article subjects", not for article structure matters. So it's not sufficient to say that "because I can't find a policy that confirms what you're saying, that means you're wrong and I don't have to follow it" — you also have to be familiar with the consensus agreement about how policies are understood to apply when conflicting interpretations of them have come up for discussion and debate. One of those agreements is that the existence of a handful of local coverage in a person's local media, in local interest contexts that do not clear the defined inclusion standards for the person's occupation, is not in and of itself a GNG-based exemption from those inclusion standards — as I already pointed out, every city councillor on the planet can always show the existence of some local coverage. But Wikipedia has an established consensus that not every city councillor warrants an article, so the key to making a city councillor notable enough for inclusion is to show that he's significantly more notable than most other city councillors, not just that he has the same thing that every other city councillor in existence also has. It doesn't matter one pinch of bird shit whether that's officially spelled out in policy or not — if thousands of other AFDs on city councillors who could only show routine local coverage, but had no credible claim to being special at all, said so, which they did, then that established consensus is every bit as binding as any policy statement. "If it isn't officially branded as policy, then it isn't a real rule" is not a thing — we have lots of rules that aren't formally coded as policy, but are still real rules that still have to be followed.

Delete. Richmond CA is not large enough to hand all of its city councillors guaranteed inclusion rights just because they exist — to be notable enough for inclusion, Jim Rogers would have to show either (a) preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him into Wikipedia anyway, or (b) that his depth and range of coverage had expanded far beyond the norm, to the point that he had a credible claim to being much more special than most other city councillors. But neither of those things are in evidence here, and I've already explained above why "he has some coverage in his own city's local media" is not in and of itself a GNG-based exemption from having to pass NPOL.

Comment. Well... there is a lot of new material and refs, and the negative material has been scrubbed. The East Bay Other did call him "the Bay Area's most famous TV lawyer". The San Franciso Chronicle has an entire article on him, and there are 18 other refs. There's no reason to delete the article now and it would be unusual to delete an article that so easily meets
WP:BIO
.
That said, the refs themselves have bad things to say about him. Character assassination at one remove using this method is something we do see. It's possibly in play here, but in my judgement since he really is notabl in part for being involved in the (bad) activities described, it's OK, particularly since we ourselves aren't saying it. Consequently I've changed my "vote" (above) from Delete to Keep.
Also, since this is the first "vote" since the article was improved, the closer ought to heavily discount comments above here and mostly consider comments starting here. Herostratus (talk) 06:04, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, JPL is correct. GNG is not just "count up the footnotes and keep anything that surpasses an arbitrary number" — it tests for the depth of how substantively any given source is or isn't about the subject, the geographic range of how widely she is getting covered, and the context of what she's getting covered for, not just the raw number of footnotes present in the article. Every city councilor everywhere can always show examples of his or her name getting into the local media — so if all a city councillor had to do to exempt themselves from our notability standards for city councillors was show that routine local media coverage existed, then every city councillor everywhere would always get that exemption and the standards themselves would never apply to anybody at all anymore.

Keep, as creator. Incompleteness is not a reason for deletion, as it can be fixed by adding the missing information to the article if there are reliable sources for it. However, in my view, such aspects as the list of features and supported platforms are a low priority for this article: they are likely mostly the same as similar apps. What's a matter of public interest about this app is its apparent nature as spyware, which is sourced to one of the most reliable media organizations in the world. Insofar as notability is a concern, the article cites two other sources unrelated to the NYT article that provide substantial coverage about the app. Sandstein 10:51, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I've added BBC coverage published today, and a bit of info I noted there. The app and its withdrawal from the Google and Apple app stores is attracting news coverage in several countries, making it notable. The article was already no longer exclusively based on the NYT article when I found it. Comparisons to other apps are not relevant to notability unless reliable sources start emphasizing them, so I see no reason failing to cover them in the article is a bad thing, much less makes the article less worth keeping.

Keep because secondary source exist.

None of the mentioned sources contains solely in-universe description, some do partially. Their depth of coverage varies. Literary Sources of D&D and especially The Ashgate Encyclopedia give creative origins. ..for Dummies evaluates the role in the game, and talks about their use in the game. The Monsters Know What They're Doing does the latter more extensively. Giants, as far as I can tell, gives us where giants appear in popular culture, and tells us that D&D is one of those places.

None of those sources discusses D&D Giants in detail, at best they get a passing nod (mention).

That doesn't really change much, as its just using the same sources to just rearrange the same information in a different way. That does not actually add notability to the concept.

My apologies, I have missed an existing sentence there. I have rephrased to avoid presenting the same information twice. That means there already was information about the concept of fey in the article.

If you are talking purely about quantity, at least The Monsters Know What They're Doing talks about fey for a number of pages.

These films do not have WP articles nor are they inherently notable. Can you produce any sources that these films are notable? The actors, simply because they are top-billed cast in a film that we know nothing about, are not automatically notable. This is not a difficult question. Look at everyone from Daniel Craig to Nicole Kidman. Those are articles of established film stars. Yours are stubs. They contain non-notable (per WP:GNG) films that don't even have WP articles themselves. Even if you look at a 13 year old actor you'll find an article with more sources and citations (see: Jacob Tremblay). All I'm saying is that you need to corroborate and substantiate your articles. For the third time -- this is not about personal attacks. This is about policy. Try focusing on the quality of articles, not the quantity of new articles. Dr42 (talk) 04:43, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are seven articles from October 2018 and one from February 2016. This, in my opinion, does not reach the bar set for
WP:SIGCOV. This is less than a year of continuous coverage of a non-notable individual. Khan hardly has enough coverage to warrant more than a few sentences in the article. If Khan is so notable, why isn't there more information about him in the article? Again, per policy, Khan fails to meet the requirement as she "has [failed to] receive significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject[.]" Therefore, "it is presumed to [not] be suitable for a stand-alone article."

There are eight sources. Look at the current rendition of the article. Only eight sources. While I confess that I have no idea if they are reputable in Bangladesh, I can say without a doubt that 7 sources from October 2018 and one from February 2016 doesn't automatically push Khan into meeting WP:NACTOR or WP:SIGCOV or WP:N or WP:GNG. It's just not going to happen. The article itself consists of merely four sentences. Please, let us not pretend that this is a significant article worthy of fighting for when in reality, this deletion thread is already many times more than four sentences and no one has even edited the article to substantiate it or provide it with further sources or proof. This is my final word on the topic. It's not notable and vote is not changing. Dr42 (talk) 05:13, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you're going to continue to use the
WP:IDONTLIKE excuse, at least understand what it means. As it says in the essay, "The point of an encyclopedia is to provide information, not to describe what you "like" or "don't like"." I have, with every edit and tag I've contributed, done so with justification, corroboration, substantiation, and in line with policy and regulations. You, on the other hand, are seemingly stating that I've resorted to saying "I don't like it" or one of its variants. I've provided well-constructed logic and reason to my contributions pertaining to your articles just as I have across all of the other edits I've made on WP. This has nothing to do with you personally. This has to do with your articles -- especially this one, which merely consists of four sentences. Dr42 (talk) 05:21, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply

These are hard to find because only these national arguments disregard
Questions. I have a low opinion of this article as I see it. But I currently don't intend to argue for either keeping or deleting, because the cited sources and most likely most or all of the sources that could be added are in a language I cannot read. However, I note that (i) although it's referred to above as a "vanity article" no evidence is provided for this being so (and the article is free of the sycophantic language that I associate with vanity articles), and (ii) although the article was and remains flagged with a template saying "This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments, a violation of Wikipedia's terms of use", the talk page neither says anything about this nor refers the interested editor/reader to an explanation elsewhere. Dr42, why do you say that it is a vanity article? What evidence do you have to suggest that it was created for money? -- Hoary (talk) 08:04, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Answers. Based on the user's edit history and narrow focus, he seems to be cornering the creation of Bangladeshi articles for politicians and actors. I have a suspicion that this individual may be compensated for his work by either the Bangladeshi government, a union (or unions), or even a board of trade or tourism. It's mere speculation. That's why the word "may" is used in the sentence (i.e. "This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments) (emphasis added)". It is merely a possibility. As for why I've determined that this is a vanity article, there was formerly an entire essay on vanity articles on WP if I recall correctly, but it's mostly been transferred to this page on COI. Based on the article creator's past, it seems that he has a penchant for a niche of articles as opposed to contributing to all areas of wikipedia. He has a very narrow scope. And that narrow scope of articles, consisting of mainly Bangladeshi politicians and actors, has unfortunately landed the user in hot water a few times. See user talk page, specifically here, here, here, here, and here. My suspicions are merely that: suspicions. That's why words such as "may" and "might" are used as opposed to definitive words such as "undoubtedly" or "provably". As to whether or not the article creator has a personal relationship or friendship that would be a COI we have no way of knowing. I am acting out of an abundance of caution based on the < 24 hours that I've seen this user in action, including the depths he will go to defend the articles he has created when they are simply not notable individuals. Again, if they are notable, and if they do meet GNG, so be it. But if the article has been created solely based on the person's existence without corroborating and substantiating proof, then that's what I think I'd call a vanity article because it serves one purpose -- vanity. It's a four sentence article about an actor that's not notable nor is she engaged in any work that's notable or falls under SIGCOV or GNG. That's really all I have to opine on the subject. Again, my vote is delete. It's a vanity article. The article creator has a narrow scope. And there's not much else to convince me otherwise. Dr42 (talk) 08:31, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
On being paid: "It's mere speculation. [...] It is merely a possibility." On vanity: "My suspicions are merely that: suspicions. [...] [I]f the article has been created solely based on the person's existence without corroborating and substantiating proof, then that's what I think I'd call a vanity article because it serves one purpose -- vanity. [...] It's a vanity article." This is feeble stuff, Dr42. You claim to be "acting out of an abundance of caution", but you seem oddly incautious in questioning motivation.

Hi Bookscale, I should have clarified myself (which I have done now above); the issue is that the RS around the specific organisation (Quidditch Australia), seems thin, however, the RS for the sport in Australia seems good. There have beem discussions above on how to fix this (eg Quidditch in Australia etc), but I don’t think a consensus has been reached yet? E.g Is it a seperate variation (like Australian Quidditch), or an identical strain to that of other countries (like Quidditch in Australia). Seems it can be solved, but only by editors who know the topic. All the best, Britishfinance (talk) 10:11, 23 December 2019 (UTC) (PS, I am not an admin).[reply]
Thanks Britishfinance - appreciate you clarifying, as I can see you are in agreement with the editors who have commented here, including me, thank you.

WP:CORP. In attempts to clean it up, it was converted into a non-compliant DAB page for the multiple non-notable companies that have been known as "Airspeed Aviation". SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:38, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply
Delete. This is just a list page, and none of what it may refer to actually has an article, so the page is functionally useless. Dictator Black (talk) 03:12, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This is more of a disambiguation page yet the topics listed don't have pages so there is no need for it. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:34, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. At least one of the companies listed does appear to be notable. I have rewritten the page as a stub article about that company. The question now is, is this company notable enough to pass
WP:GNG? I believe that it is. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 13:03, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply

You have now written a new topic over an old topic. If kept, the page now requires a History split. Writing new topics on top of old non notable topics is always the wrong way to do things. It messes with the purpose of attribution histories. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:50, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Surely a split only arises if two versions are to be kept? Keeping even one, of any description, is the issue currently under debate. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 22:28, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The new focus is actually less covered than a local Canadian charter airline, which would not pass muster either, unfortunately. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 18:46, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The significant issue here is whether the present coverage can be adequately expanded, not how comprehensive it currently is. For an idea of the article's potential, see for example this Google search result.— Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:15, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've done a bit of work with the new search results, but it does not bring the article to stand-alone notability. However, I'm changing my !Vote, as below. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 20:09, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge → Derby Airfield I'm thinking that the company is so intimately connected with the airfield, that they be covered under a single article; this would also allow introduction of information about the Derby Aero Club as part of the same article. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 20:09, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose that. One of the multiple is associated with Derby Airfield, but not the rest, not the original topic of the page history. No primary redirect. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:01, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Two other merge approaches occur to me. First, which direction should the merge go? Which is the more notable, the airfield or the owner-operator? Then, if merged into Derby Airfield might one solution to the multiples problem be to redirect this page to Airspeed (disambiguation), which would in turn link to a suitable section in Derby Airfield and (potentially) to any other articles created for other companies? Hope this makes sense. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 21:24, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - now that the article has been changed from a disambiguation page of sorts to an article on a company it probably makes sense to close this AfD, keep and and see if it can be expanded. - Ahunt (talk) 23:04, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Response That's not how Wikipedia works. We don't keep articles on Topics that are not notable. Perhaps you can point to a number of sources that demonstrate notability?
(4) Promotional, non-independent source for and about the company.
Also note, the page was originally about a Canadian company. Now it’s about an English company. Both fail WP:CORP. Attempts to save the page ignore the mess of its history, which is largely about converting a non-notable company into a WP:DAB-failing DAB page, presumably in response to the many ghit cross-matches, now being attempted to be turned into a different company page that is better, but still not notable.
Since it amounts to the same result I would not be opposed to that approach. - Ahunt (talk) 15:06, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Since the historical mess (which I admit is of my own thoughtless making) is on non-notable content, why bother to carve it out just so it can be deleted? Easier to leave it there to fester quietly to itself for evermore, it's not going to hurt anybody. But I have no objection if folks think it a useful exercise. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:27, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not a single source meets the criteria for establishing notability as SmokeyJoe pointed out above and while this article in Flyer has been quoted as being the best source, it is based on an announcement and contains no Independent Content and fails

Delete, Not only does this article rely entirely upon 2 links to its own website and 1 404 that also seemed to be a primary source, it also reads a lot like promotional material. Devonian Wombat (talk 20:54, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article fails to establish notability. The only thing it has is a trivial, hyperfocused listicle that has no real worth. TTN (talk) 00:07, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above. The listicle is something, but not enough alone. I came across this, but it's probably not reliable. If I could be convinced it was, I think it might be in the "weak keep" category. Josh Milburn (talk) 09:14, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above. Article consists entirely of the appearance of crawling claws in DnD games, so a separate article is not necessary. JIP | Talk 11:16, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect Its claim to notability is that it is one of the weakest D&D monsters? Not really much to say about it then, is there? – sgeurekat•c 05:59, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This article and many other articles of D&D monsters that have little outside notability could do with being shortened to essentials and then a placed on a List of Star Wars creatures sort of list. Deep Gabriel (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:44, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable; very minor. No opposition to a merge or redirect if a good target can be identified. Josh Milburn (talk) 09:16, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
