Strong delete Career relies totally on Cage Match as a source, and IIRC Cage Match can't be used for anything other than match results.

I never said it was a "requirement," but I said it likely adds to its notability. I think in a broad sense receiving Emmy nominations would make any TV movie more historically significant. That doesn't strike me as a controversial statement.

@

Power~enwiki

:. Thanks for linking to that page and all the players on that list seem to have their own articles - they are blue linked. This may not be the case here, for the list page at this AfD - and the author would have to research which players are notable to match what you have shown us.

In any case, I am discussing this issue with the author of this article, but pertaining to other list articles he/she has created. I am wondering if you would be willing to join in the discussion taking place on my talk page to possibly give us some ideas on how to make these lists work. Here is the section on my talk page entitled Thanks for understanding. (It's a great title!) (a little bragging humor there :>)

Also, before joining the discussion please see the sections on the author's talk page (here) that pertain to me placing those list articles in the Draft Space while we seek improvement. Your input is very welcome because I am out of my depth pertaining to rugby and football players. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 04:45, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your first paragraph here gives misleading impression, I'll assume this an oversight and not intentional. You seems to be saying that the Netherlands' article is full of "blue links" but may not be the case here, that's this one contains lot of redlink, or simply non notable people. Although the former is more developed (expected, since it has been developed since 2010), it contains far more redlink ratio than any list article I have seen. I've roughly counted over 250, that's very large number. Meanwhile this article contains mere 3 redlinks and it was just started, we don't know how far could be developed. – Ammarpad (talk) 05:25, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but it seems that you are now giving a misleading impression of the situation. The vast majority of links on that page are blue. Yes, missing the red links was an oversight on my part, but so what. Maybe you could count the number of blue links on that page, since this seems to be an issue for you - in an attempt to be "fair and balanced". And if an argument for keep has to made on the amount of red links or blue links in a new article - then that is a really weak argument. I get it that some editors could care less about notability guidelines, either general notability or sports notability. But the truth is these are the measuring sticks for this type of article on Wikipedia, even though some editors seem to find these to be a pesky hindrance. So how many blue links are there in List of foreign football players in the Netherlands? Also, I would appreciate it if you no longer address me during this AfD. Thanks. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 06:03, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have no opposition to draft-ifying this until it is cleaned up. If they're all Rugby Union players, this should be fairly easy to fix while this discussion is open, though.

Draftify. I recommend draft space while the author attempts to improve this article for main space.

Delete copy&paste of Nigeria national rugby union team#Nigerian Players Representing Other Nations -- Sawol (talk) 07:43, 28 July 2019

---(signature fixed by Steve Quinn. See edit history for this page). ---Steve Quinn (talk) 21:11, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Based on Armmarpad's and Power~enwiki's responses, I have struck my previous Ivote and opted for keep. This is because the topic is supported by the fact most of the players have their own pages and are probably from Nigeria. So far, I found one player born in England and that would be Ugo Monye (see infobox). We might have to remove this player from the list. The other players will have to be looked at for place of birth or place of residence prior to becoming a notable rugby player (imho). Also, I agree the title should be changed to List of Nigerian Players Representing Other Nations. And I agree that over time this could become quite an article. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 21:33, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I found a couple more players not actually from Nigeria who play on English teams. So I don't know the rationale for having these players on this list, but this can be discussed after the AfD. Or someone could open a discussion now, on the talk page of this article, and maybe this can be fleshed out. Whatever anyone feels like doing is OK with me. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 21:51, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable political figure. News searches reveal a number of cases in which he has been quoted as a political party officer (local party chairman) or candidate in an election. But he has never won election to parliament. And none of the sources are actually about him. Notability aside, the article is a CV and, in my view, merits speedy deletion as G11: 'unambiguous advertising or promotion'.

I read through the previous AfD and the arguments by which it was kept also seem pretty inadequate (unsurprisingly for 2007): "the book appears notable" and "he published more than any other Icelander on the subject", both unsourced claims.

Keep - Over the past few years, there have been lots of character articles nominated for deletion with consensus to merge or redirect to this list. Deleting this now seems rather underhanded. Plus, Decepticons are a notable element of the Transformers fiction and this list provides a convenient home for all the characters significant to the fiction but not independently notable. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:06, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how it would be "underhanded". Just because cruft is merged into another crufty article doesn't make it any less crufty. Often, people point to existing articles as merge targets while ignoring whether it would still be unencyclopedic after the merge. The Transformers character articles are by and large completely unencyclopedic, besides some prominent exceptions like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee (Transformers) (though they need a massive amount of fancruft culling)._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:45, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Entries on lists do not have to be independently notable, so long as the list itself is notable. Common consensus has been that basic (non-crufty) information on these characters should be retained. Failing to note that when nominating this list for deletion seems like a massive oversight. Seeing as how the entries here only rarely include more than name, sub-faction, and alt-mode, I'm not even sure what you're seeing as cruft. Argento Surfer (talk) 20:22, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just having their name, faction, etc, makes it a
WP:INDISCRIMINATE list. Information in Wikipedia should be put in context. As for your argument that a list must be needed to organize the characters, there is still Category:Decepticons._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 21:30, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

I don't think INDISCRIMINATE was the link you wanted, as this list doesn't fall under the four categories. Are you saying that Decepticons as a whole are not a notable topic?

The result was delete. Mainly per the notability concerns as they have not been addressed and constitute a valid deletion argument. That other similar pages have not been nominated for deletion is not a reason to keep this one; if someone wants to get rid of the other pages as well send 'em to AFD.

Weak keep - there are some fairly detailed articles on The Culture in the encyclopaedia, and this is an extension of those. As it stands, the information is too detailed to fit easily into another Culture article. What bothers me is that it seems overly detailed and somewhat light on references. Possibly more of a problem: it smacks of the dreaded
original research - it's an impressive collection of information about these civilizations and it is certainly of value, yet Wikipedia's own policies discourage this sort of article. On balance though I think it should stay. Shritwod (talk) 22:04, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

Procedural keep. There are at least 10 other similar Culture-related stub or primary-sourced "cruft" articles (that number from the navbox alone) and this isn't even the worst-in-shape article. There is no logical reason why this article only should be deleted and the others left. Therefore I suggest that this nomination be dropped and that these substantially identical articles be nominated together at once so as to consistently apply the notability and sourcing policies, to bring attention to all of them and allow proponents to find sources and perform clean-up work, and to decide whether they should collectively be merged or deleted. 144.134.2.40 (talk) 10:45, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. I never expressed the opinion that the article should be kept, only that it makes no sense to focus on this single article when it is part of a collection, and that they should be nominated together.

Delete per nom. This article is not only unnecessary, as each of the three Pokemon in question have their own full articles, but the sourcing is also terrible, as it is nothing more than announcements of events in which players could obtain them rather than substantial coverage of the Pokemon themselves. Furthermore, the name "Legendary Bird Trio" is not, from what I can tell, even an official name for the grouping, making the title confusing, as stated by the nomination.

Delete per nom. I believe the games only refer to these Pokemon as legendary birds without the trio part so I agree with Rorshacma that the article name is not an official title.

I didn't say it was useful. I said it was worth documenting. Encyclopedias give information on many subjects, and this is another subject.

A few years ago my PS3 broke so I bought a replacement, which meant I had to redownload everything on to the new PS3. I like to separate games I pay for versus those that are free. Sony / Playstation provided no such comprehensive list. Looking at individual items on the PSN Store only provides the info 'purchased' for either category. Not helpful, but you know did help?

Well "free" sorta indicates the price, and the availability is there of when the game was free on the website. I would argue that yes, there is a GNG argument here - nearly every time this has switched over the major game sites have talked about it, but the key to keep in mind is that this is effective just when certain promotions were held. The main Epic Games Store page notes it runs this promotion and that's really all WP should say about it per NOT#CATALOG (which overrides the GNG). --Masem (t) 22:45, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe the key difference here is that a directory/catalog is always kept current. I completely agree that a page, or even a section of a page, with "This is the current free Epic Game" would clearly violate NOTCATALOG. This page, on the other hand, is a historical record. A catalog holds the availability and price of a product so that you can buy it. Availability and price are secondary to the real purpose of the catalog. On this page though, "free" and "in the past" are the key and primary features. I would maintain that all catalogs have price and availability, but not all lists with price and availability are necessarily catalogs. A catalog requires something more. 3fishes (talk) 23:01, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To reiterate - Say when, random game from the list, like "The Witness", was offered. (The game itself is notable on its own, not a question). I can do a google news search of "the witness" "epic games store" "free" and limit it to the month of April and I get 40+ hits, with at least 10 of those being
WP:VG/S compliant reliable sources. So one could argue that the promotion was notable itself, but... the point of NOT#CATALOG is that we're not here to deal with promotions, unless something notable fell out of that promotion. At one point, we had a list of the various Humble Bundles but that was deleted (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Humble Bundles (2nd nomination)
) because while the first few bundles had impressively charitable results, most of the bundles in the last several years have not really had that, so the list was deleted, and mention of some of the more significant bundles made back in Humble Bundle. So I also submit that decision as a reason here.

At the end of the day, Epic Games Store is just a store front. The games it offers are notable, the storefront is notable, but the individual promotions are not. Just as we don't track every Steam sale or free game offering. It is just outside the purpose of an encyclopedia. --Masem (t) 23:16, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The humble bundle decision is a great find. I've edited my initial comment, changing my stance. 3fishes (talk) 13:32, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article indicates when games are free. In every instance, free is a decrease in price. A decrease in price is called a sale. A collection and compilation of sales is what sales catalogues document. Therefore, the list acts as a sales catalogue. Where is the disconnect here? It’s all very straightforward.

I don't think that AfD is the place to settle this issue. Clearly, we don't want to delete the article. At worst, we want to turn it into a redirect to The Walt Disney Company but that should be decided by a simple discussion on the article's talk page. Pichpich (talk) 20:58, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I have attempted a redirect to Disney DTC and International (DTCI) and had a discussion about it (
forum shopping. The Asia Pacific unit operated for a short while in the early to mid 1990s, became dormant as Asia Pacific was split up, then reactivated with the new segment, DTCI, and 2CF merger. It is just parroting primarily the DTCI article's information thus having no separate notability from that article. Spshu (talk) 14:31, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

Merge/redirect to
Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer & International where it is already mentioned in lieu of deletion. I was unable to find significant coverage about "The Walt Disney Company Asia Pacific" aside from announcement articles such as this article from Variety and this article from The Economic Times about Uday Shankar heading the "India and Asia Pacific business of The Walt Disney Company once it completes the acquisition of 21st Century Fox's assets".
I oppose deletion since it is useful to retain the article's history. The reorganization happened in December 2018. As more time passes, if The Walt Disney Company Asia Pacific gains enough independent coverage of its parent company in the future, I support undoing the redirect and restoring this as a standalone article.

Azoi was a Medical gadget startup that eventually failed.

~~CHANGE NAME~~ "Just because the company is no longer trading doesn't mean we don't have an article." Well, at least the name should be changed.Jobordan (talk) 11:05, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that the change of name to their product would be a better thing, even if they no longer own the trademark, in some point of time they did, and so there's nothing bad about an encyclopedic article about that in my opinion.
Also 'the company' and 'the product' are different topics, and if there's only one article for both, then at least a redirection should be done from one to another.

On name change I'd prefer something like 'Azoi (company)', 'Azoi (startup)', 'Azoi (digital health)'

As extra info, Wello was an app, the physical product was the Kito and it reached production.

There's no need to presume that it is a copyright violation. It is one. I compared the initial revision of the article to the sources cited.

In my opinion, being the winner of a "reality" show, even one nominally based on talent, is not even evidence of a significant award. But, there may still be non-trivial coverage in other venues. I am certain the subject doesn't qualify for the slightly greater requirement for appearing in

Redirects are cheap; no reason not to have one, and people may well search for the exact title rather than the series.

Her books have been published by Penguin India, one of the most important publishers in India, and her works are regularly used in courses around the world. She is one of the leading scholars in the world on the history and sociology of queer people (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans) in South Asia, a part of the world that accounts for more than 15% of the world's population.

Delete rarely is it worth creating a seperate listing of a subjects works.

Delete "Amy B. who?" Biblographies are only appropriate for the sort of extremely well-known writers whose well-sourced pages are lengthy, who are the authors of many impactful works, and whose every work is significant.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:14, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, one of my student workers created this page. There are not clear guidelines about bibliography pages. In the Bibliography guideline, it states "Lists of published works should be included for authors, illustrators, photographers and other artists." It does not mention restricting those lists to books or scholarly articles. It also does not state that lists of published works should be restricted to "extremely well-known writers." The recommended structure on WikiProject Bibliographies encourages including URLs for works. As far as I can tell, there are no requirements that the works themselves be notable if the author passes notability criteria. That said, I can agree that the list is overly long.

E.M.Gregory, is there a Wikipedia policy or guideline that states that only notable articles should be mentioned on a person's Wikipedia page?

Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:35, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is common to list all books published by reputable presses. And notable papers/articles are listed.

Bangladesh–Kenya relations (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

Tagged for notability since 2016. The cited sources are three government press releases (upon the appointment of an ambassador, upon his presenting his credentials, and when one leader sent a congratulatory message to the other upon her re-election), and one 2012 article speculating that Kenya would buy US$8M worth of jute from Bangladesh "soon".
Relations are much the same as Bangladesh has with most countries: no state visits, no bilateral agreements, and negligible economic ties. The Atlas of Economic Complexity shows 2015 bilateral exports from Bangladesh at $9M (0.03% of total), and from Kenya at $11M (0.2% of total).[13][14]

Merge to West Yorkshire Metro (the local transport brand) for the moment. Although the article lacks some sources, the article is written in an encyclopedic manner and actually contains some information about the company's bus operations.

Merge selectively (a couple of lines only) to West Yorkshire Metro, per Bookscale. Agree that the article is properly written, but it lacks evidence of notability, offered or to be found.

Most of its services seem to be subsidised, and therefore probably contracts for West Yorkshire Metro (although wymetro.com doesn't specify whether this applies to all services on a route or only certain times or days).

Well, fine, U.S. intelligence agencies say something, Russians say otherwise, and the opposite is happening as well, with Russian intelligence agencies claiming that the U.S. has been interfering in their elections, and the U.S. denying it. Same with numerous other countries: these are run-of-the-mill geopolitical struggles and propaganda messaging. That deserves not more than a paragraph under the generic Foreign electoral intervention page. Why not just merge there until and unless there's more meat to the matter? — JFG ^talk 19:40, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
JFG, because there's already enough "meat" for its own page. This is no "run-of-the-mill geopolitical struggle": that phrase is an oxymoron. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's not staring into a
crystal ball to write about something that has already started. (To elaborate upon a reference already in the article, "They are doing it as we sit here. And they expect to do it during the next campaign" [17].

Since 2016, alleged Russian interference has been discussed in every single election in the West - so some sort of merge (+discussion/referral in the main election article) could make sense (and our relevant pages look like intel assessment timelines). While merger can be an AfD outcome, in this case this is a multi-page merge (including more established pages than this one) into a non-existing combined page - which is a complex outcome for AfD (and probably should be discussed in a merger discussion published in the relevant wikiProjects).Icewhiz (talk) 03:48, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article's creator had this in it [21] before anyone else edited the article: "President Donald Trump said that he would accept foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 United States presidential election". That is not what the referenced New York Times article said, and it is worded to mislead people. I changed it [22] to: "President Donald Trump said that he would accept information from other nations about his opponents in the 2020 United States presidential election." Any valid information about this can be found in Foreign electoral intervention no need for this article to exist. Dream Focus 05:46, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge. What specifically did Russians do that we can write about in this article? Right now it's mostly speculation.

The Russian descriptor should be removed if an article like this is to stay.

"Dan Coats, the Director of National Intelligence, believes that Russia and China will both attempt to influence the elections."

"In his Congressional testimony, Mueller stated that "many more countries" have developed disinformation campaigns based partly on the Russian model. Between January and late July 2017, Twitter had identified and shut down over 7,000 phony accounts created by Iranian influence operations." Blumpf (talk) 06:47, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Foreign interference in the 2020 United States elections, or splitting off the pieces on Iran and China to a different article. But that will have to wait until after the AFD closes.– Muboshgu (talk) 16:02, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

Muboshgu I support the creation of Iranian and Chinese interference articles, but I cannot support lumping all foreign interference in the 2020 elections. Russia is quite clearly the main actor, and I fear Iran and China may not have enough documentation for 2020 to deserve splitting the article with Russia. We already have Foreign electoral intervention anyway, which is where the less documented Iranian and Chinese interferences should belong in my opinion, until more RS coverage and development happen at least. --Pilaz (talk) 16:19, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coolabahapple (talk) 07:13, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

Keep. Editors in favor of deleting have raised two main criticisms: #1
Russian interference in the 2016 United States election article can be a good illustration of this point. Let's now turn to examples which show that this event is not happening in the future, but as we speak. (1) When former FBI director and Special Counsel Robert Mueller, one of the foremost experts on Russian interference in the 2016 election, was asked by congressman Hurd at a hearing on July 25 at the House Intelligence Committee whether the 2016 interference was an isolated attempt by Russia or whether he found evidence that they would interfere again, Mueller stated under oath that "They're doing it as we sit here". [23] (see also 4:22). (2) FBI director Christopher Wray also stated on July 24 that "My view is until they stop they haven't been deterred enough", implying that the Russians had not stopped interfering. [24] Wray had previously stated on April 26 that disinformation by Russia has "pretty much continued unabated", stating that "That is not just an election-cycle threat. It is pretty much a 365-day-a-year threat." [25] (3) DNI director Dan Coats also listed political interference second in his list of threats while at a congressional at a January 29 hearing about worldwide threats, notably releasing a joint written threat assessment that reads "Russia's social media efforts will continue to focus on aggravating social and racial tensions, undermining trust in authorities, and criticizing perceived anti-Russia politicians".[26] This multitude of examples highlights that national security experts believe that Russian interference in 2020 elections is underway. If Delete supporters still think that WP:FUTURE applies here, I believe that they will have to confront the fact that Russian interference in 2020 is near-certain based on the expertise of the national security and intelligence community, which fulfills the almost certain to take place WP:FUTURE standard. Argument #2 rebuttal: the claim that information present in the current article is a duplicate of what is found in Foreign electoral intervention can be invalidated by simply looking at the latter article - there is no mention of 2020, yet. That is because the article deals with foreign electoral intervention in multiple countries by multiple foreign entities over the course of over 150 years. This means that each interference gets a few lines of content and is later expanded upon in a dedicated article. One can see that the content found in the Russian interference in the 2020 United States elections is already at least triple the size of the portion allotted to each interference in the article. While a small heading for 2020 interference is surely welcome, it should not act as a substitute for the article here. A word of conclusion: this does not mean that the article is bulletproof in many ways - as other have pointed out, some material such as Iranian interference may be removed and NPOV should be checked given the development of the issue, but those are best addressed in the Talk page and not in the AfD. Hence, the clear answer to me: the article is a current event which passes WP:GNG, and even WP:FUTURE if it is not current as other have argued. --Pilaz (talk) 14:43, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

Yes, this article, perhaps renamed to "Foreign interference" instead of just "Russian", would be the thing that a paragraph-sized subsection in Foreign electoral intervention would link to with the {{main}} template. XOR'easter (talk) 14:57, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Per my !vote in the AfD for the earlier article this should be kept. Reporting on Russian (and other nations') interference in US elections is ongoing, both historical and in the upcoming 2020 elections. CRYSTAL does not apply here at all. The Democratic Primary campaign season is ongoing and "election" refers to the campaign season here in the US not simply to polling day.
I strongly disagree which the idea, above, of renaming this to "Foreign Interference" or any similar, diluted, title. The issue is the ongoing Russian operation to screw with the US elections. Other countries may hop on board but none other have been reported as having a significant, government sponsored policy of messing in Western elections for strategic purposes.
I am posting this as a "comment" rather than a "keep" since I was pinged here and would not have commented here otherwise. Jbh ^Talk 16:53, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article was thinly sourced at best, apparently conflating two or more individuals with similar names into one topic. Additional attempts to seek out external sources were very unsuccessful. In addition, this individual falls far short of the general notability guideline as well as the "Politicians and Judges" guideline, which only covers leaders who have held international, national, or state/province-wide office or major local leaders who have received significant press coverage. The only coverage this guy got was a blurb in the local government website indicating when he died -- hardly notable. Michepman (talk) 04:06, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - He was a member of the Texas Senate, so he's presumed notable. See [27]. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:28, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. State senate is an office that passes
WP:NPOL #1 right on its face. That criterion is not limited to the state governor, but most certainly does include members of the state legislature. Yes, this needs some referencing improvement, but for a person who held office beginning over 100 years ago and ending in 1934, the bulk of the sourcing will be in news archiving databases rather than out on the Googles — but we don't judge the includability of a person like this solely on the state of sourcing already present in the article, we judge it on the state of sourcing available in the world, and the simple fact is that no state legislator in the history of US state legislators has ever gone completely and totally uncovered by any reliable sources. Further, the discussion the nominator alludes to does not "establish" that Cousins is non-notable; it merely questions the utility of a city's list of notable people always listing everybody who ever represented it in the state legislature when there's also a category for people from the same city already. Bearcat (talk) 22:38, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

Comment - I of course agree that it would be unfair to judge the article solely by the sources already within the article. What I was trying to say above (and I apologize if it was unclearly worded previously) was that there are no sources available, other than a brief passing mention, even when going through archival materials such as what can thus be found on places like newspapers.com. It's not at all clear that the information present in the article is even referring to the same person as the subject, since as noted above the person who created this article even used the wrong first name of the alleged senator and also combined materials from both the subject and his erstwhile son in a way that is dificult to tell which sources are relevant and which are verifiable (not to mention the few which are both). While this article may barely clear the bar for verifiable sources as written, digging in the details as I have done will indicate that a lot of the material was inappropriately transcluded and is actually related to the son, who may or may not be notable in his own right, and not the elder. Michepman (talk) 03:37, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Newspapers.com is not the only possible place to find sources for a state legislator. There can be other news archiving databases which include more Beaumont-area and/or rest-of-Texas newspapers that would have covered him; there can be books that would have covered him; and on and so forth. As well, in that era one would almost certainly have to search for multiple different forms of his name, including "Wilfred Roy Cousins", "Wilfred Cousins", "W. R. Cousins", "W. Cousins", repetitions of the "Wilfred" searches under the possible misspelling "Wilfrid", and on and so forth. So, yeah, if the creator messed up and conflated Wilfred Sr. with his son, then by all means we can
fix it — but I don't believe that no sources exist at all, just because you couldn't find anything in one specific database that doesn't necessarily include every newspaper in the United States. It would actually be deeply unusual, literally to the edge of completely unprecedented, for a person to serve in a state legislature for 20 full years without ever having received any reliable source coverage anywhere at all. Bearcat (talk) 14:49, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

Actually he was William Roy Cousins - W.R. Cousins Sr, but not Wilfred Roy Cousins Sr, confusingly ... that has been one of the problems with the article. So the automated "Find Sources" here doesn't help at all! RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:46, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The title except one word appears to be in a foreign language, which raises doubts was to whether it is notable for the English WP.

primary topic here. BTW, three articles of persons with this (sur)name – namely Ranka Velimirović, Arpit Ranka, and H S Ranka
– can aslo be listed at the disambiguation page.

A relevant quote regarding Ranka

Choudhry, P. S. (1968). Rajasthan between the two world wars (1919-1939). Sri Ram Mehra & Co. p. 78. Retrieved 31 July 2019.
The Oswals are peculiar to Rajasthan alone.¹ They get their name after a former town in Marwar called Osia or Osinagar. They are supposed to be the descendants of a number of Rajputs of different clans who were converted to Jainism by a celebrated Jain priest, Ratna Prabha Suri. They are said to have over 1,444 exogamous sub-divisions, some of which are Abhani, Bhandari, Hirawat, Khazanchi, Chajer, Daga, Juniwal, Guglia, Lunawat, Muhonot, Nahar, Patwa, Ranka, Sankhla, Tolawat, Targar etc.

Until today this was PRODed and entirely uncited. Some additional material was added today and purported refs given but all fail verification. I'm unconvinced this is commonplace as an entity, distinctively Scottish or notable. Mutt Lunker (talk) 20:24, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ~~or redirect~~ to Fritter The nominator was mistaken about all of the items failing verification.

The NY Times ref (caption of the photo) in the very first NY Times reference Haggis fritters in Edinburgh.

And the BBC reference: the proprietor stuffed the fritters with Peas.

Scotland.org and The Sun references I erased. It seemed from these references and from basic research that the most common fritters in Scotland were the crispy deep fired potato fritter. However I erased it rather than defend it.

The subject should be ~~redirected or~~ kept based upon the references. I will not spend too much more time on the Fritters, however
WP:NEXIST Fritters do not appear to be uniquely Scottish, however it appears from the research that fritters are served in a majority of establishments in Scotland. Lightburst (talk) 21:03, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

The article is about a bread roll containing a potato fritter. These sources are not about potato fritters nor bread rolls, let alone in combination. Mutt Lunker (talk) 21:54, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes...That is exactly what is pictured here in the NY Times reference. Please remove your incorrect failed verification tag after you verify. There are variations of Fritter Rolls. Just as there are variations of Hot pockets. Traditionally a potato is used as the filler, and other times, as the references show...Peas, or haggis. Here in the US the fritter traditionally is just fried dough. Lightburst (talk) 22:19, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are claiming that a picture captioned "Haggis fritters at the Orchard restaurant in Edinburgh." that manifestly has no bread roll in it is in fact "a bread roll containing a potato fritter". Ok, let's see if anyone is convinced of that... As to why you go on to supplement this with a list of yet more things that are not a bread roll containing a potato fritter, I am at a loss. Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:24, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge the verifiable content into Fritter#United Kingdom, plenty of space for more content there. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 21:25, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be content with a merge, if there actually is verifiable content therein. One source is a blog, so doubtful if a
WP:RS; regarding the other source, I'm unsure whether it is a RS or not but I have my doubts and there are several factual errors in the piece. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:14, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

On the basis that one of the two sources may possibly consitute a
WP:RS in Wikipedia terms (factual errors therein aside), as nominator, I'd now be satisfied to change from advocating delete to Merge to Fritter#United Kingdom, but only of the material based on this source - not that based on the blog. Mutt Lunker (talk) 19:25, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

Comment: I was on PROD patrol and saw areas to improve this article - I did some research and added some references to this stub. Also created a category for the readability. The nominator immediately tagged all of my refs "failed verification". I went to the nom's talk page and explained why the "failed verification" tags were incorrect. By the time I was done typing the nom had an AfD slapped on the article. I went to the article and did clean up of the referenced material - verified that information was cited correctly, removed the "failed verification" tags. But... the nominator put the "failed verification" tags back in based upon the nom's evident desire to delete the article. I suggest that it is a conflict of interest for a nominator to delete, tag, and revert during this deletion process. This is two hours of my Sunday that I will never get back.

Keep because now I want a fritter roll (also due to procedural abnormalities which DQ this nomination). Lightburst, thank you for your dedication, it matters more that you care about the world than that you prevail against stinky behavior.

I’d dearly like my two hours (and counting) back too please, vainly trying to explain the self-evidently off-topic nature of the additional material being dumped into the article. This waste of everyone’s time was compounded by a spurious

If they can find sources which, contrary to the bulk of yours, actually address the subject, I'd be delighted. Containing the term "fritter roll" therein, if not necessarily sufficient, would be a minimum starting point. The material you added based on sources which do not fulfil this, I have removed; the material based on the two sources which do fulfil this, I have not removed, even though one is a blog and thus not a
WP:RS, so should really have been removed. Mutt Lunker (talk) 20:13, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

I see you've attempted to post but were having difficulties with a mobile device, so I'll quote it here in order to respond: "Thanks. Yes I said it was a blog in edit summary. Placeholder."

Yes, I am aware that you did but notifying us of that you have used a source which is "largely not acceptable" does not thus allow it. See

Mutt, It is still a bit too hot in here for me to edit this. I will exit and unwatch and let others see if they want to try to edit in this environment. Lightburst (talk) 21:19, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's your choice but there's nothing to stop you, should you unearth material that is both pertinent and reliably-sourced. Mutt Lunker (talk) 21:27, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A search did not reveal sufficient RS coverage to establish notability. Content could potentially be merged with Fritter#United Kingdom if more reliable sources can be found. Many of the suggested sources are actually about pea fritters, haggis fritters, etc. and do not actually mention the fritter roll or suggest that they are variations. –dlthewave ☎ 21:56, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to fritter. I find places like this [34] where they show something called a "Finest bubble and squeak fritter" and then in the survey poll call the same product "Tesco Finest bubble and squeak fritter roll". Various other places describe similar things, sometimes calling it a roll and sometimes not. There are many different types of fritters. Not a lot in the article right now to justify its own article. I say merge it to Fritter. Dream Focus 22:59, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, the fritter and the roll are distinct items in combination. The latter is a bread roll (in all likelihood, a morning roll), containing the former. No mention of the bread roll and it's not a fritter roll, it's just a fritter, so not the subject of this article: the combination. There are vanishingly few mentions of the combination. Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:40, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

...and the Tesco item appears to be a 2017 inclusion in their sandwich range; from the picture and description, in a bread roll. The full title is "Finest bubble and squeak fritter with spiced red cabbage roll", so a "(list of contents) (bread) roll (sandwich)". It's also mentioned here. Not notable, certainly not independently. Mutt Lunker (talk) 00:07, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm getting the sense that the concept of a bread roll may be something alien to Americans. Is that the case? A fritter and a bread roll in Scottish and wider British parlance are very much not the same thing and this article's subject, non-notable as it is, is not a single entity called a fritter roll but a combination of two things, the former placed inside the latter. I'm bemused at how difficult a concept this seems to be to many contributors here. Mutt Lunker (talk) 01:27, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And another source of confusion may be that an American fritter would seem to be largely dough, whereas in Scotland, wider Britain and large parts of the world outside the US it is a variety of battered items, in this case potato. Mutt Lunker (talk)

Merge very sparingly to Fritter#United Kingdom, with information from the one non-blog source. The term "fritter roll" refers to one, very specific, combination of foods, thus sources talking about fritters in general are not valid in establishing independent notability for this very specific variation. Rorshacma (talk) 16:29, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Fritter#United Kingdom seems the neatest arrangement of content. Bondegezou (talk) 13:47, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

comments: Believe it or not I have not been thinking about fritter rolls at all. Today on ARS someone posted another food item and used the terminology "chip barm" That caused me to reflect on the fate of the fritter...The correct name for this article should be "Roll and Fritter". When I used the search "Glasgow roll and fritter" I came up with numerous establishments and reviews for this food item. Not
WP:RS
but nonetheless. It exists.
