- Phil Bridger, woah let's leave Connecticutout of this. I am not here to troll. I will apologize again for a bit of an acerbic tone I have wrongly conducted myself here with. However, I generally find it frustrating when we have articles such as this that need several days to go through the whole deletion process, and then the debates here actually end up having more edits than the article itself does.

- Redirect to Momoland. I put some references in the article, but she seems to have no career outside of Momoland. The much longer Korean wikipedia article on Nancy refers to Momoland for her discography, with the exception of one song on an album called Popular Music Crush Part 2. The Music biography notability guidelines seem to indicate that a singer with a career with one group (and not otherwise noteworthy) should redirect to the group. If her one-sentence biographical information is merged into Momoland article, I could copy in the information for some of the other band members. M.boli (talk) 06:54, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect is not needed, it links only to Nancy (given name) and List of Korean Americans (no article = no inclusion on those lists, so it gets unlinked anyway). When she will pass notability criterias, the article should be called Nancy (singer) anyway since no one address her as "Lee Seung Ri". Snowflake91 (talk) 13:10, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. To be fair to the nominator, at the time of nomination the article was completely eliding his term in the state legislature — it hadn't been substantively updated since 2012, so it was stuck entirely on the NPOL fails and contained no information at all about the game-changer. It has now been updated to properly reflect his NPOL-passing role, however, so while it does still need improvement it's on more solid ground already. Bearcat (talk) 18:38, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

This article should be REDIRECTed to its parent Western Railway. It is an example of a sub-stub-class article. Look at its present condition. It includes Indic script in the infobox. The article text includes information from only one subject-sponsored website Indiarailinfo. There are four references gratuitously added that have nothing to do with the article text. The text of the lede was added by rote or programmatically, exactly the same as hundreds of other articles, including the same grammatical errors. And at this station, no trains stop according to Indiarailinfo. The article is not useful to a reader. Rhadow (talk) 21:24, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

If we neither delete it nor keep it as a freestanding article, the best target would be Himatnagar (or some other locality article), because train stations are of significance to the communities where they're located and deserve to be mentioned (in passing, at least) in their articles.

- Delete/Merge This idea that stations are automatically notable just for existing is absolutely preposterous. None of the sources have substantive information about this platform in particular and are rather about the line more generally, failing to pass GNG. Google maps shows how little infrastructure this site has, being more of a stop than an actual station, and this cannot be assumed notable. These keep arguments based on inherent notability are not based on policy. Reywas92Talk 20:41, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- keep or Merge all current and former permanent heavy-rail stations that verifiably exist or existed are indeed notable per long-standing precedent (and for good reason that have been repeatedly explained by others). However that doesn't mean that every railway station needs a standalone article, where we don't presently have enough information to sustain a standalone article the information we do have should be merged and redirected to a suitable location (most commonly the article about the line it is on).

This ensures thousands of editors don't waste there time and energy fleshing out and debating the retention of articles on the tens of thousands of stations when editors efforts are much better spent on creating new articles and improving existing ones.

The claim that he was a founder of Oblicore (which I found in one article) is not supported by any documentation I can find. In fact, it is contradicted by both Bloomberg and Network World.[3] As marketing chief it's not surprising he's interviewed, but it's in line with his job and not because he's individually notable. The phrase "serial entrepreneur" is present in several articles in both English and Hebrew because I suspect that's part of his pitch (it's an odd phrase for a variety of reporters from different media and countries to all use).

Despite its name, the article relates to a golf Pro–am event in New York. The event was held just once in 2014 although an event was planned for 2015. There are many pro-ams around the world each week and these events are not generally regarded as notable enough for articles, having purely local interest. There seems to be nothing which would indicate that this event was anything out of the ordinary for a pro-am. The article was most likely created to advertise the event.

- As is the list makes no distinction between those who are born in Europe and those who have visited at any one point. The list is wholly unsourced, meaning it would take longer to construct such a list by paring this list down than it would be to blow this list up completely and start from scratch. We have smaller sublists which are quite useful, for individual countries like France and Italy. The reality is that a great majority of the saints would fall in a 'Saints born in Europe' Category, which would hinder the usefulness of such a list.

A comment at an online forum [10] that it's "Only for Straussian-friendly (RoP) or continental/pomo stuff" was intriguing, but not a reliable source, and still not enough to say anything that would make it stand out among journals. So it doesn't appear to pass WP:NJournals (we don't have evidence that it is particularly influential, well-cited, or historically significant). GNG gives a clearer reason for why we are unable to cover this topic, but NJournals tells us that it will not do much harm to the encyclopedia to omit it. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:50, 30 January 2019 (UTC)]

- The Men's Health source is sorta RS, but the primary subject seems to be Charles Barkley, not the act of going commando.
- Regardless, b/c something is a legitimate (or illegitimate) health concern doesn't really seem like a standard for inclusion. Wearing tights shoes could have health implications. Should "loose shoe" be an article? NickCT (talk) 16:53, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- It that a common slang term? The point it seems to me (and this is leaning me towards keep now I have to say) that this is a real and genuine modern term, phrase, slang word or whatever else you might wish to call, it is clear it is a bit more then just a slang term. whoes cultural impact is widely reported from both medical and social perspectives.

It's partly about the odd phenomenon of nõpan kissa (see the English article No-pan kissa) and nõpan shabushabu (having the same relationship to regular shabu-shabu restaurants as nõpan kissa had to regular cafés), partly a list of celebs who claim, or are claimed, not to wear undies.

- The topic of every one of these articles is the pros and cons of POV fork. The term "going commando" itself is premised on underwear as normative and no underwear as deviant, even though we have in that very article examples of cultures or garments or contexts where no underwear is the norm. The systemic bias inherent in the term is a whole other reason to merge it into underwear, or else a list of similar terms. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 01:32, 30 January 2019 (UTC)]
"The term "going commando" itself is premised on underwear as normative and no underwear as deviant"
is an interesting argument, but I don't consider that acommon name of this practice. "Going commando" gets enough coverage in sources that deal exclusively with this topic (and not anything else related to underwear) that it deserves its own article. — Newslinger talk 02:09, 30 January 2019 (UTC)]- I don't think keeping the article totally contravenes the notability guidelines. We could justify having such an article, if we wanted. But "this is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page", as coat rack for several unrelated ideas, like whether women should wear anything under their yoga pants or why frog men don't wear underwear or whether that's hot or not.

- Keep. It's clear that while this article is in relatively poor shape, the topic of going without underwear is a notable one that has been discussed in many reliable sources. It's probable that "going commando" is the most common name for it, but that is not really relevant to this discussion. Also not relevant is what, if any, image(s) the article should have as that is a matter for the talk page (and that discussion seems to have been sidetracked by those with strong opinions about images of nudity rather than the topic at hand). If this was merged anywhere then undergarment is the only logical choice but that article already has several sub-articles that are splitout for length reasons and so all that would be appropriate about this topic there is a short paragraph at most with a link to this sub-article. That the article needs improvement is also not a reason for deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 14:20, 30 January 2019 (UTC)]
- @notability. I've yet to see a source that really discusses "going commando" as a primary topic. There are bunch of sources with subjects like "Person X goes commando" or "Health can be improved by going commando", but those are giving the topic indirect rather than direct coverage. NickCT (talk) 17:05, 30 January 2019 (UTC)]
- WP:SIGCOV gives a pretty vague definition of "significant coverage", but nothing in the guideline requires a source to cover all aspects of a topic to be considered "direct" coverage of the topic. The 9 articles I listed above (disregarding #1, which is a book) are primarily focused on the topic of "going commando", and the coverage is detailed. — Newslinger talk 17:19, 30 January 2019 (UTC)]
- @Newslinger: - The primary topic of 2 seems to be commandos. The primary topic of most of the others seems to be health. An article titled "Loose fitting hats prevent migraines" does not make "loose fitting hats" an independently notable subject. Obviously. NickCT (talk) 17:41, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
- re "requires a source to cover all aspects" - Sure, there's no requirement, but I think it's pretty obvious that a source discussing a topic "directly and in detail" is going to discuss more than one aspect of that topic. NickCT (talk) 17:49, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
- A source can provide significant coverage of more than one topic, and in my opinion, the listed sources all provide significant coverage of "going commando". Loose-fitting hats aren't really discussed by reliable sources in this way, but extra depth shoes and non-restrictive, close-fitting socks do have their own articles. — Newslinger talk 17:56, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
- I think the definition of "direct" basically means "single topic". If I'm talking to you "directly", the inference is that I'm talking only to or primarily to you. If I start talking to multiple people, the conversation is no longer "direct".
- Glancing at your examples, it's not clear to me Diabetic shoes are notable. I might support a deletion there if it can't be better sourced.
- Here's an RS discussing health problems related to tight fitting shoes. If I could provide you with more RS like this, you'd say "loose fitting shoe" should be a topic? NickCT (talk) 19:03, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
- Common counterexamples of sources that provide significant coverage of multiple topics include articles on both a company and its executive (example: notability. Unlike the sources on "going commando", the linked article doesn't even mention the subject in question (loose-fitting shoes). — Newslinger talk 04:22, 31 January 2019 (UTC)]
- So take your Mike Markkula example and look at the NYT piece that's used as reference in that article. That's a clear example of "direct coverage". It's a high quality RS that is examing multiple aspects of a single subject (i.e. Mike). That's a strong indication of notability, and its the type of reference that doesn't exist for "going commando". Even if asbestos didn't cause mesothelioma, both subjects would likely be independently notable. In other words, there would likely be RS talking about asbestos, a common building material, even if it didn't have health risks. It's not clear that "going commando" has RS outside its health issues.
- re "doesn't preclude it from providing significant coverage of "going commando" - If by "significant coverage" you mean "direct coverage" (which I think is how WP thinks about the term), then I think it does. People reading articles titled "Health impact of X" are probably reading b/c they're interested in health, not b/c they're interested in X. Health is the topic or subject that is being directly covered. Not X.
- re "The primary topic guideline applies to article naming" - Yeah. Granted. I was using "primary topic" in the non-WP sense of the term. Maybe I should have said "primary subject" (i.e. the subject that the RS article is mainly about). NickCT (talk) 17:33, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

- Merge to a suitable article, such as Underwear. One of the problems I've had while looking for sources is that there is nobody talking about this "directly and in detail". I could find a few etymology claims (none authoritative) that might interest a dictionary, but I found no serious consideration of a definition. What counts as "going commando"? If underwear simply did not exist in your culture (e.g., approximately everyone before the 13th century), did you "go commando", or was that something different? Is not wearing underwear actually "going commando" if you're not supposed to wear underwear in that situation (e.g., swimming) or if it's unclear whether underwear-wearing is typical (e.g., sleeping)? Is there a difference between a university student not wearing underwear under his jeans because he thinks it's sexy, and a non-verbal girl with sensory processing problems refusing to wear not just underwear, but also any type of leggings or pants? If there were any decent sources talking about this concept "directly and in detail", then I really ought to be able to answer such basic questions. And, you know, if "going commando" is actually a synonym for "not wearing underwear" (which I doubt, but which some past contributors to the article assumed, and there are no academic sources to determine which POV is correct here), then the article title is inappropriately slangy for an encyclopedia... and we still might decide that Non-use of underwear ought to be merged into Underwear, as a very closely related subtopic, about which we can't say much more than "Some folks don't wear underwear as often as others, and maybe the most common slang name came from soldiers in hot weather". In terms of developing encyclopedic content on the subject, this US-based poll might make an interesting source for prevalence (although difficult to interpret: How do you report percentages of people doing something, when more than a third of respondents chose "I don't know what that means"?), which is more encyclopedic than one person's recollection of the behavior in a bar during a war, which is the level of information that we're currently presenting.

Similarly, sources that do nothing but elaborate on the dictionary definition or which only provide trivia are not enough to support an article. --Aquillion (talk) 06:26, 31 January 2019 (UTC)]
- Merge the very small amount of encyc material into Underwear or similar. Endorse arguments of WhatamIdoing and others, most content falls foul of WP:DICDEF, much is WP:OR or trivia.

- Pete Tillman, most people wear underwear; some people don't. For most of the latter, most of the time, the underwear or lack thereof is I believe hidden by outerwear: a skirt, jeans, whatever. Do you want photos of people wearing skirts or jeans (etc) and allegedly wearing nothing beneath? Or do you want "upskirt"/"upkilt" photos? -- Hoary (talk) 08:01, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- Not only would a photo of someone who says they are not wearing underwear, but looks just like anyone who is, fail our basic Verifiability test, it would be silly. I guess I will (at some point) look for a RS that says "Going Commando" is a form of exhibitionism. OK, how about right now:
- Here's a video of 5 ladies throwing their panties at the videographer. Still weak on verifiablity. What if they just had an extra pair of panties stashed?
- Google isn't finding a RS for "Going Commando" = exhibitionism. Just some porn sites. So maybe it isn't (as another editor argued. Huh. Back to what I'm supposed to be doing, Pete Tillman (talk) 03:17, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Because of the business, it is hard to separate the company, CEO/producer/director/actor, movies,… so this article[20] is talking about many aspects of the company. I was looking at Monkeypaw Productions as an example of a production company. Also, the article could be renamed just "Golden Effects" with redirects for the distribution "Pictures", production "Studio", and "Services". Or just leave as Pictures with the others redirecting.

- I'm not seeing much directly about the company that isn't Afolayan's own words in interview. We need at least two sources each with at leat one long paragraph or two directly about the company that is not just Afolayan talking, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 19:35, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Lapidomator
I thought about deletion as an attack page, but there are good RSs to the use of the term. Maybe the community can decide what to do about this DGG ( talk ) 09:04, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hello everybody.
- As DGG wrote, there were good Reliable sources for this article. I have not invented it, nor did any original research.
- I wrote the article more than two months ago, and it was quite late to ask for deletion now.
- Reference #17 in the article said: "Lapid amused by Lapidomator app", and stated Lapid's words: "I had a contest with the kids. They would enter, say, the word 'hummus', and I would write something, and then we would check the Lapidomator and see if it was similar." Lapid told it his followers in the social network, and also said on a different occasion that the Lapidomator wrote better than him: "I'm a little offended, because it writes as me better than I do sometimes. So that bothers me a little, but otherwise it's quite funny."
- It is evident that Lapid has not made any lawsuit against the Lapidomator's creators, and the Lapidomator still generates statuses. Until now, It has generated 323,759 statuses. Here is Lapidomator's status about the English Wikipedia:
- "I want to talk about the English Wikipedia.
- The issue of the English Wikipedia, a problem that was a bleeding wound in the heart of the Israeli society, comes to an agreed, sane, logical, yet determined solution. Instead of succumbing to the various sectors, the state is again acting like a sovereign who stands on its own.
- Today, the Knesset's committee passed a law which would abolish the English Wikipedia law. It was an unjust political law, which required government officials to be held hostage by the wheeler-dealers.
- The essence of the new politics is that every time when you have to choose between what is best for you personally and what is good for the English Wikipedia, you would always choose the English Wikipedia.
- The answer is that after reviewing the possibilities over and over, I could not escape the conclusion that any other treatment of the English Wikipedia meant that I was making discounts.
- Violent incitement against the English Wikipedia is a direct threat to the State of Israel and we will deal with it." Dgw (talk) 14:04, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

- Merge to Yair Lapid. This had a fairly nice burst of national level coverage in Israel (Hebrew) in 2013 - but this has mostly fell silent. The status generator (as well as the nature of Lapid's posts) is a legitimate piece of criticism of Lapid, and should be briefly summarized there. I don't think this is independently notable as I don't see continuing coverage. Icewhiz (talk) 12:43, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

- Comment – I have checked some online sources regarding the Rawat. It is variously described as a caste, clan, community, title, etc. This source has details of the Meherats, a , etc.
- The State series of the People of India (by Kumar Suresh Singh) contains good amount of details about the Rawats, e.g. [33], [34], [35], etc. Having said that, if I remember a comment by Sitush correctly, these State series are considered unreliable on this project. The topic is also covered in the National series of the same author – [36] – which was published by the OUP, but I am not sure regarding its reliability.
- All in all, if we don't count both the State series and the National Series of the People of India (by K. S. Singh), then the subject might not meet the WP:GNG. Anyway, I will !vote after consulting regarding the reliability of the People of India series. - NitinMlk (talk) 19:54, 16 January 2019 (UTC)]

NOTINHERITED is a strong argument here, but clearly dosn't sway all participants to the debate.

- Keep: in my view, a organization which publishes multiple notable journals is on that grounds notable. Notability is not inherited, yes; but, it is a cumulative effect. If it only published one notable journal, it would not have independent notability. But an organization which publishes four notable journals, I would say that should be enough for its own notability. Likewise, the fact that some of the individuals involved (its founder and some of its editors/chairs) are notable, by itself doesn't confer notability, but cumulatively adds to it. In other words, I don't think NOTINHERITED is an absolute rule; if you inherit enough notability from enough different sources, then notability can be inherited after all.

Indenor
This article, which has been lacking sources since its creation, appears to also lack notability in general. Researching the Indenor Company brings occasional references to its products, but no significant coverage on the company itself.
It must be mentioned that this is a relatively old company (formed sometime after 1955 according to the article, and dissolved at some unspecified point according to the mentions I could find) and so sources, if they exist, may not be available on the internet, and so this AfD should be taken with appropriate suspicion. --
- The article was copied directly over from a web page that may no longer exist. However, if you google the first part of the text you will find the article or parts of it several places, including here: http://energic.info/energic-tracteurs-motoculteurs-motobineuses-et-motofauchauses-1940-1986/energic-motoculteur-engine-manufacturers/tracteur-engines/t-m-d-enginesmoteur
- I dont know if this is the original page or if they copied part of the text from wikipedia or another page, but if it is the article has since become better and incorporates pictures as well as a link to further reading.
- Sources about the Indenor company may also exist in other languanges, and probably certainly in French. As for significance, I can enlighten you with the fact that Indenor was the in-house diesel engine manufacturer of Peugeot, much like Perkins is for Massey Ferguson. The difference is that Perkins was bought by MF, while Indenor was founded by its parent company Peugeot. It was never dissolved, they just phased out the name or absorbed it into the main company. It is perhaps too little mention of it in the article.

- It's an interesting contention, but it actually isn't necessarily true that science fiction authors always admit that their inventions are false. See L. Ron Hubbard's work on the Scientology canon for a famous example. The lines are not clearly demarcated between A and B and, because of that, it's best that Wikipedia not be deciding who is being honest when they say that they think that their proposed astronomical idea is correct and who is being dishonest. It's very hard to get science fiction authors on the record confirming that they don't think any one particular invention is real or not. jps (talk) 18:19, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

It is useful to document pseudoscience. I'm here because I'm working on Planet Nine. Occasionally editors bring up pseudoscientific theories, not knowing that they are bunk, and I find it very useful to refer them to these articles and say, "See, this stuff isn't real science."

- Reverse Merge and Redirect. I tend to agree with the statement "Curlie is not Dmoz" on the basis that one DMOZ was an AOL property and the other (Curlie) is independent. The counter argument is that Curlie is based on the Dmoz concept and work and makes use of the same volunteer editing community (of which I am one) to review and publish sites as well as to run the directory as a whole. Simply deleting the Curlie article from Wikipedia without a replacement solution seems not terribly logical. Merging something active with what should be an archive (Dmoz) isn't something I can follow - though it could be done the other way around, so making the current Dmoz content the history section of Curlie? (in other words, redirecting Dmoz to Curlie). Elper (talk) 12:22, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
