- Delete. Student regent at a university is not a WP:GNG — it's referenced two-thirds to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and one-third to a one-off glancing namecheck of his existence in an article whose core subject is something else. As always, getting a Wikipedia article is not just a matter of having had your name printed in a newspaper once — we test for the depth, range, volume and context of the media coverage, not just for the existence of text-matches on the person's name.

Notability of this site appears to rest on having been slapped around by Elsevier (together with Sci-Hub, whence the coverage). However, that's the only time it appears in the news, and also appears to be only thing worth stating about it.

Reasons 1) Yolanthe Sneijder Cabau is a very famous dutch actress, 2) It shows a scene of her having sex, 3) The whole media kept talking about it and how she shouldn't have done the scene. Sources (in Dutch) are [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. The short has been made, has a famous actress, has a controversial scene in it which got the film media coverage. Is this relevant and notable enough for English wiki? I'm not sure. My two cents. HM Wilburt (talk) 00:11, 12 June 2019 (UTC)]

I've found a couple of other reviews but all are non-reliable (other than the dutch one up above). The other sources are all about the individual's stripping off, and don't spend more than a couple of lines on the film itself.

- Welp, I am the original creator of the article, but that was back in 2006, and I haven't touched it since. From what I know, Buka is one of the larger video game publishers in the Russian market, so it should be theoretically possible to find enough tertiary sources to establish its notability, but most of them would be in Russian, and I am honestly cannot be bothered to search for them at this time. --Koveras (talk) 20:32, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
- I have cited this source in the article. If someone can find more like that notability will be demonstrated.

- Delete Considering the fact I have heard about this publisher a lot, I am surprised to see that the company fails WP:ROUTINE announcements of investments, their games, name drops in books or Koch Media distribution press releases. The russian wiki article is sourced equally bad, with Vedomosti source only being salvageable and going in depth about 1C Companyacquiring Buka. Which also can be just covered in 1C article, like it is. Analyzing the sources posted in the article (both users being completely unsure that even helps for the notability speaks enough):
- Phil 1. "In 1993, Buka Entertainment entered the video game market and became not only a distributor of video game consoles from SEGA, Nintendo and Sony, but also a manufacturer of it's own games" and the page 443 after that repeats the same (with games they released) is not WP:SIGCOV.
- Forest 1. Press release. Says so in the article plus in the url. Not independent from Buka.
- Forest 2, 3. and 4. Collecting all these in one place, because each of those serves as a passing mention of Buka (mentioned only by it's name) in a bigger picture of them publishing WP:SIGCOV, and from a glance 2. and 4. do not seem as reliable either.
- Forest 5. Besides the fact this doesn't seem like a reliable site (I don't see editorial policy here despite the staff listing), Buka is not mentioned, not even once. Probably posted by a mistake.
- Forest 6. Like I mentioned above WP:ROUTINEpress announcement of Buka-Koch publishing. This article also relies on what Buka and Koch PR's said, making it not independent of the subject.
- Forest 7. Literally source 6 repeated again. Same thing here as well. Clear fail of Jovanmilic97 (talk) 13:00, 10 June 2019 (UTC)]
- And what about page 443 of the Wolf source, a book published by Phil Bridger (talk) 13:15, 10 June 2019 (UTC)]
- I have said it already. First sentence repeats the Page 440. "In 1996, Buka created it's first video game, Russian Roulette....and on" paragraph until the IT Territory segment is all "they released this in that year" (which is not related to Buka but to the games they made, which Jovanmilic97 (talk) 14:07, 10 June 2019 (UTC)]
- If redirection is the right thing to do then that is what should be done. The fact that at editor chose to undo redirection before is no bar to reinstating it, and, if people then edit against consensus, protection or blocking are the appropriate admin tools to use, not deletion.

- Withdraw nomination - I am persuaded now to withdraw my nomination for deletion of this article.
- With the mentions in reliable sources, whether passing or otherwise, of the inclusion of a recording by this band on the soundtrack of two feature films, under criterion 10 of WP:NMUSIC, there is scope in this encyclopedia for mention of that recording. As mentioned, this criterion recommends redirection to the article for the film if this is the only claim to notability but, as has been pointed out, as it appears in two films, that can not be the resolution here.
- I would therefore suggest that a way forward would be to retain this article on Clann An Drumma but, with the song being the only element of significant notability regarding the group, to focus this article on that song’s inclusion in the films (not the song itself unless notable and reliably sourced material is evident) and remove the current unsourced and non-notable material. Sgt. MacKenzie would be redirected to Clann An Drumma, with the merging only of pertinent and reliably sourced material from the former to the latter. That would entail a considerable trimming of the material currently at the song article, which is largely uncited (possibly from unattributed primary sources) or non-notable. The additional sources noted in the two AFD debates could be added.
- I note with disappointment yesterday's attempt, above, to stifle debate. Casually sling out ludicrously premature, inappropriate, sledgehammer characterisation like that to anyone who isn’t immediately won over to your viewpoint and you’re more likely to get fellow debaters digging their heels in.

Even if you don't, if you use the search field, it will auto-complete for you and when you see that there is an Extended Versions entry, you might want to try your luck. If you find an entry on that dab page, you'll go there rather than try your luck with a second search. What doesn't hold water for me is that someone is actually going to try to do a full search for "Extended Versions (Asia album)". That's just improbable when other options present themselves earlier. All links from articles related to John Payne's Asia should either not link anywhere or should link to the section in the article where it's discussed. If there are no links, and someone adds a link, do you really think their first thought is going to be to try to link it to "Extended Versions (Asia album)"? Again, I suspect that most new editors will try to link to "Extended Versions". If they're not diligent, they'll get a warning from the bot that tells editors that they just created a link to a DAB. If they do have a link to Extended Versions (Asia album), in my scenario, they'll have a redlink and will have to fix that (which will present a warning). If we leave a redirect, it will look like a valid, blue link, and they may not go further to investigate.

- Dynamic CSS is one of those ideas which sound like a good idea, until you think through the details. If the stylesheet(s) become dynamic, then they break a couple of the assumptions which we normally rely on to make the web efficient. Stylesheets which are stable and do not have temporal dependencies on their associated page can be cached and shared between many pages. Using dynamic CSS breaks that.

Also substantial coverage in Hymns for the Fallen: Combat Movie Music and Sound After Vietnam and a few sentences in The Martial Imagination: Cultural Aspects of American Warfare.

- These are fairly passing mentions of the song and it would be stretching it to say the song is the subject of the material.

This material would barely give you a stub. Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:41, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
- They are not passing mentions in my estimation. Decker devotes about two-thirds of a page to the song, and even the shortest coverage, in Bryan's book, is 85 words by my count. In any case if you wanted a merge, you have come to the wrong place, you shouldn't be proposing deletion per ]

- It follows that if there is no notable article to merge to (per my AFD nomination for the band's article) a song article that could only ever be a stub would thus be deleted.

- Per the two sources for the article, I'm unclear as to any indication that the individual has any significance distinct from the association with the song and if, as I agree, the latter is not notable then neither is the former. The external links given are a primary source (the band which wrote the song) and the individual's listing in a site of all war graves. Mutt Lunker (talk) 14:18, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- ...the subject's siginificance to the composer being in large part that he was a relative. Mutt Lunker (talk)
- @The Gnome:. My keep was based on GNG and the coverage in books, not on NSONG. But I would argue that this goes some way to meeting NSONG criterion #3. Besides the release by Clann An Drumma and it featuring in the soundtrack of We Were Soldiers, it has also been covered by Heather Rankin, (+edit) the band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland [8], and the band Alternative Ulster [9]. Not sure about the notability of the last one, search results are getting swamped by the song of the same name by Stiff Little Fingers, and to some extent also by the magazine Alternative Ulster.

- Withdraw nomination - I am persuaded now to withdraw my nomination for deletion of this article, with an inclination to redirection to Clann An Drumma, merging only reliably sourced content regarding the recording of the song’s inclusion in the two feature films mentioned. The full rationale is given here, at the AFD for the group. Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:20, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- I'd have, of course, no objection to a Redirect towards Clann An Drumma. -The Gnome (talk) 08:17, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
- !Vote Clarification Query - @Mutt Lunker: - could you clarify your !vote. If you are !voting redirect then it isn't really withdrawing your nomination (you can't actually do that with Gnome's !vote, but I get what you mean). However your change of vote seems to read more like a merge (with some conditions). Could you clarify? Nosebagbear (talk) 22:50, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
- I'll first note that this is a discussion towards a consensus and so nobody has a vote; I'm also unclear what you are saying that I have done that I "can't actually do".
- To clarify, I made this nomination for Afd, I have withdrawn it, so in regard to this discussion, that could be it from me. I noted above what I was now contemplating as a preferred resolution. Were I to resolve to that (which I now have), I had been intending to deal with that as a separate merger proposal but I understand from Wikipedia:Merging#Merger_as_a_result_of_a_deletion_discussion that this can be proposed here as an alternative to straight deletion. If I'm correct that this is appropriate, per above I suggest "redirection to Clann An Drumma, merging only reliably sourced content regarding the recording of the song’s inclusion in the two feature films mentioned" since that is what the two existing sources for this article, plus the various new ones noted in the discussion above address. This article would thus be a redirect. Do others agree? Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:46, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

The article notes:
NZXT is best known for its computer cases and other gear, though it may have aspirations of branching out beyond PC hardware. The company announced it is acquiring Forge, makers of a free app for capturing and sharing gameplay videos, and we have to wonder if NZXT is up to something with its CAM utility.
The announcement is big on hype and short on details. NZXT mentions it is a proponent of the "smart PC" through integrated software, which is what its CAM software provides, but stops short of saying how Forge ties into it all.
...
Outside of CAM, NZXT has mostly been involved on the hardware side of things. There was a time when NZXT made some garish cases, like the Nemesis Elite, but it has grown and adapted with the market over the years. These days it constructs some downright excellent enclosures, and offers cooling products and power supplies as well. More recently, it unveiled its first (and so far only) motherboard, the N7 Z370 with a customizable color scheme.

The article notes:
NZXT is famous for its PC cases and related accessories (such as cooling solutions), but the US-based manufacturer has just kicked off a new project offering custom-built gaming PCs with a newbie-friendly approach to picking components.
...
So, with NZXT BLD (yes, its phobia of vowels continues), the company is introducing an entirely new approach to a PC build. You simply pick out your favorite games (presumably the ones you want to play on the new rig) from a list, stipulate your budget, and NZXT will recommend one of its machines.

The article notes:
When new employees start at NZXT, they build the PC they're going to use at work. Some get a little help from a build-savvy coworker, but it's a spirit I appreciate: it's obvious, from talking to founder & CEO Johnny Hou, that building your own PC is as big a deal for NZXT as it is for us. But not everyone has the time to research what they should buy and how best to build. For them, NZXT has come up with a new way to order a custom-built PC, called BLD, that puts games first.
Instead of picking a system build based on name, or size, or components you know you want, you pick the games you want to play. BLD, which launches today, is built on top of years of game performance data collected by NZXT's CAM software. The idea is that you pick a popular game, like The Witcher 3 or League of Legends, then pick an approximate price point, and BLD puts together a system for you, with a guarantee that you'll hit a certain framerate within 10 percent.

NZXT is best known for its line of computer cases, and less so for its power supplies, of which it hasn't released a new model since 2016. That changes today. NZXT is rolling out a new digital PSU line, and like some of its coolers and lighting products, the new PSUs offer real-time power monitoring and control through the company's CAM software.
The company has been aggressively promoting its CAM utility for a long while now, so it's no surprise that its newest E Series PSUs are part of that ecosystem. Through CAM, users can monitor their PSU's temps, total power-on hours, and even multi-rail over-current protection (OCP).

NZXT is a popular PC desktop case vendor, but the California-based company recently had to raise its prices.
The reason? The new US tariffs on Chinese imports includes PC cases. In September, the Trump administration imposed the 10 percent duty, which also cover motherboards, graphics cards, and CPU coolers from the country. As a result, NZXT had to introduce a 10 percent price increase on PC cases to deal with the added costs, VP Jim Carlton told PCMag in an interview.

NZXT has combined its powers with Blizzard Entertainment to create a special edition case from its popular H500 model, one of the best PC cases, just in time for the current Overwatch League season. Aside from the aesthetics, not much is different about the actual case design. It comes in a black, white, and orange color combination, and both the front of the case and the side are adorned with the Overwatch logo, while the entire Overwatch name is also on the side of the case.

This isn't the first time NZXT has paired up with a company to release a game-themed chassis or accessory. NZXT released a limited Nuka Cola Fallout 4 edition case for the H700, and who could forget about the limited edition PUBG magnetic Pan Puck released over the holidays?

The Gundam-like monstrosity featured glowing LED eyes and a red power LED shaped like a crystal. Even better, it came in a rainbow of colors including orange, yellow and even green. While it looks absolutely ridiculous now, things were a bit different in 2003 when it was made.

I am replying here since I was pinged.I'm getting a bit annoyed by these source dumps in Afd's User:Cunard, particularly for companies that dont support the effort. It was bad enough that we are now stuck with PureVPN that for the average reader now thinks is a good VPN provider, by a quick glance at the article, when in fact they are absolutely terrible and are known to leak the customers ip/dns addresses, and any quick look at the web will you tell you that. Now that we have the article with a nefarious notability that is less than useful. I admire the fact when your reference research works in others area, where in that instance the work has been truly excellent,and I have relied on it in the past. I think by the addition of these large source dumps within Afd it imposes a kind of constraint on the conversation that wouldn't otherwise be there, and occasionaly it pushes a kind artificial scope_creepTalk 08:42, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
I wrote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PureVPN: "Why am I supporting retention? I believe there is value to the readers in providing an article that summarizes sources explaining how PureVPN is subpar." An editor replied, "But no version of this article, either now or when it was rather longer at the start of April, has 'explained how PureVPN is subpar'. Instead it has all been anodyne corporate woffle." After the AfD closed, to address these concerns I rewrote the PureVPN article to summarize the negative coverage I found. The article's lead says, "The service has been criticized for having inconsistent speeds, being unable to access Netflix videos, and having usability problems." The PureVPN Wikipedia article contains plenty of negative coverage and criticism. It is unlikely that "the average reader now thinks is a good VPN provider" after a "quick glance" at the lead or after reading the article.
Thank you for your kind words regarding "I admire the fact when your reference research works in others area, where in that instance the work has been truly excellent,and I have relied on it in the past.".
During my research for this AfD, I found 25 reliable sources about what NZXT has done and created. I posted my findings here with a collapsed box containing relevant quotes from the articles. How does posting the 25 sources I found "impos[e] a kind of constraint on the conversation that wouldn't otherwise be there"? It is clear from the article titles that they are about NZXT's work. I posted these sources to show that NZXT has received sustained analysis from multiple independent reliable sources about what it has done and created. Dismissing the sustained coverage from these independent reliable sources as being "Run of the mill" or "business news" or "reviews" is not a strong argument for deletion.
- @Cunard: I removed that comment as I thought it was unsuitable and not really called for, as I think reference dumps are a net positive.

Hopefully this is clear by now. Meanwhile, the gaming PC press has a lot of time on its hands. To properly review gaming equipment (and other stuff as well), a place needs to build a lab because otherwise nobody will take your reviews seriously and worse, no one will advertise on your site. And once you have a lab, you need to keep the assembly line humming or it won't pay for itself, and so an endless stream of very extensive (but mostly meaningless) product reviews follows, replete with accompanying affiliate links.

Neither the Compaq Portable or DeskPro 386 have their own pages and they're actually significant products with massive effects on a much larger industry (all of personal computing) and the general public as well. NZXT is a small, private peripheral supplier that operates in a niche — providing cases for gaming PCs — with a lot of similar competition. None of their products have made a dent in the world beyond that. Look at the additions meant to improve the page… if the letter 'i' is in the model name then it comes with decorative lighting (did they really call this minimalist design?). This is minutiae, a catalogue and non-encyclopedic.
- The only public discussion of the products occurs in the review industry press. They seem to be successful in their business but will that ever make the company or their products notable? I don't see it. I think that applies to all of the case makers (as well as other parts suppliers).
- I'd rather see an article like 'Third-Party PC Cases' or 'Gaming PC Parts' (I'm sure someone could come up with something better) which could discuss the whole sector and could conceivably cover white-label box makers as well — I've read articles which discuss how companies like HP select and purchase cases for the systems they sell and there are countless articles about the PC supply chain. It could include the more significant players in the business (like the four mentioned above), historical moments like when the first gaming PC was released, first third-party case supplier, etc…, including, if someone could dig it up, some facts about each of the companies like when they were founded, when they expanded into international markets, how large they are, or any financial or organizational information. This would save people from a host of stublike pages, take advantage of general articles that don't focus on a specific small company (which are rare), and provide some context that would apply to all of the companies. ogenstein (talk) 07:57, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. If the BBC and the Washington Post consider this news, the incident is probably notable. UAE media engage in a lot of self-censorship, but since they are covering the crash as well, I expect they will cover its aftermathh as well. I expect that the Indian government will continue to put pressure on the UAE to reduce the risk of a similar crash happening in the future, somewhat muted because India doesn't have much bargaining power in its dealings with the UAE. I also expect there will be multiple lawsuits as well as improvements in design standards for highways and off-ramps. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 09:14, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

- Delete That would be a dangerous precedent. Both sources will cover subjects trite or ephemeral. Both covering any particular one story would not indicate anything.

- Keep, The film is in Bhojpuri. I would like to clarify the doubt above that this movie has absolutely no relationship with the similarly titled Hindi movie that nom has found out. Based on my searches and coverage in Hindi newspapers, I feel this Bhojpuri movie passes our notability criteria. This film is one of the most notable films of actor Dinesh Lal Yadav and actress Kajal Raghwani based on this news article and thisfrom Navbharat Times. The film has also got coverage of it peaking the charts.[4] The articles would also need a hatnote to disambiguate the 2 movies.--DBigXrayᗙ 08:56, 7 June 2019 (UTC)]

- Prabhat Khabar in its article here, calls it a hit film. (Hit film = notable film in India)[5]
- Zee News covers the song and the movie here.[6]
- Dainik Jagran calls it, one of the notable film of The actor duo Dinesh Lal Yadav and actress Kajal Raghwani [7]
- All these reasons, in addition to the ones I noted in my earlier comment are enough for me to keep this article. --DBigXrayᗙ 12:22, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- DBigXray, Ok, I think the Zee News coverage demonstrates notability. I'm a bit perplexed that you've been able to find so much trivial coverage of the film, or coverage that fleetingly attests to commercial success but doesn't otherwise discuss the subject, but no full length reviews. Still, what we've got here means we'd likely meet GNG by NEXIST, so I will withdraw the nomination. Before we close, however, do you have any thoughts on how to disambiguate the films? My impression as someone who doesn't speak Hindi or Bhojpuri is that we should move both films to some spelling of their title + (year film), and then have all spellings of the title point at the 1993 film with a disambiguating hatnote, as it seems to be the primary topic for the time being. signed, Rosguill talk 18:20, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- WP:BIAS). The audience of these movies read Hindi newspapers mostly as compared to English. Hence the coverage shows a similar trend. Thanks for agreeing to withdraw the nomination. I support your dab suggestion. With a minor tweaking that the title Aashik Aawara point to the bhojpuri movie. A hotnote would still be needed and helpful. Regards. --DBigXrayᗙ 10:05, 9 June 2019 (UTC)]

Yet another short film I can't find much notability for. It's apparently part of a anthology film. So either a redirect to Abderrahmane Sissako or 8 (2008 film) (the film that it's in) would be great if not deleted. I don't think this film is notable enough on it's own.
