with the reasoning that this is a short encyclopedia article, not a dictionary entry. I disagree; this is a one-sentence dictionary definition. For reference, excluding the tags, references, and categories, the entire content of this article is:

An orphon is a gene located outside the main chromosomal locus.

This is not suitable for Wikipedia, which is

not a dictionary. DannyS712 (talk) 23:51, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

Keep I'm afraid you are overshooting the mark here. A basic check shows that the original description publication [1](cited in the stub) provides on its own enough material to turn this into at least a start class article. And it has a couple of hundred cites; this topic can readily be expanded on. Not every one-sentence stub has to be purged as a "dictionary definition", the question is whether enough material can be added to turn it into a viable article. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 00:34, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Elmidae: Looking through some of the cites, it clear that it is a term that is used, but it doesn't seem to have coverage in-and-of itself. I would support a wiktionary redirect though --DannyS712 (talk) 00:54, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Is there overlap with this other larger WP article: Orphan gene. Britishfinance (talk) 00:59, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. They are different concepts, although the term "orphon" is derived from the word "orphan" as they appear to be "genetic elements that have lost their families". Orphons refer to isolated genes that have been displaced from the main chromosomal location, while orphan genes refer to unique genes that have no apparent relationship with other genes.

Thanks for that. Britishfinance (talk) 11:31, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This was created as

undisclosed paid editing paid for by the California Innocence Project; appropriate disclosure has now been made. It seems to me that notability here is questionable at best. Discounting the connected sources (California Innocence Project etc) and dross such as LinkedIn, there's very little in the way of in-depth coverage. She gets two real hits on GNews. As an academic, she has no citations on Scholar, though several people have thanked her. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:47, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

Delete I should disclose that I am an enthusiastic supporter of the Innocence Project and I am also surprised and disappointed that they would choose to use donated funds to hire a paid editor to write a promotional article about one of their staff attorneys. Most of the refererences are not independent since they are published by the Innocence Project itself, and the attempt to add a LinkedIn profile as a reference is ludicrous. I do not see a single independent, reliable source that devotes significant coverage to this person, as opposed to passing mentions. Unless such sources can be produced, the article should be deleted. For an example of a biography of a notable defense attorney who has spent his entire career trying to exonerate innocent people, please see Tony Serra and its refererences. Disclosure: I worked on that article. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:58, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Gosh, this is such blatant self-promotion. I respect the Innocence Project as well but there's really no indication that this individual is notable. Most of the sources are self-published, including LinkedIn (oh boy), and the only coverage in reliable sources seems to be in the form of passing mentions. This subject doesn't meet the significant coverage aspect of our notability policy.

Keep Judging from the inappropriately censorious tone of some of the comments ("oh boy," indeed), I think there is a major lack of WP:GF going on here – not to mention Wikipedia:Civility. And the assumption that a small nonprofit like CIP that relies mostly on the work of volunteers and interns could actually afford a “PR department,” or even want one, is to say the least bizarre.

When I was contacted by the client about this article, I carefully explained to them that any person who would be the subject of a Wikipedia article had to be considered notable to be included in Wikipedia, or I couldn’t work on the project.

The information they gave me about McGinn included these facts: 1) she had been directly involved in the exoneration of a number of convicted persons in California; 2) she had worked in Latin America on a special project teaching attorneys and students about the process of legal exoneration and 3) she had worked for a year as Director of the Wrongful Convictions Division (WCD) of the Iowa State Public Defender’s office. The last appointment was particularly important because it did not involve the California Innocence Project. In addition, the appointment of McGinn by the State of Iowa was very highly publicized. The State of Iowa would never have hired her unless she was considered an expert in determining whether forensic evidence of past Iowa convictions was reliable or not. Primarily because of this third fact, I concluded that she was, in fact, notable, and I decided to take on the project.

It has been pointed out that there are mostly only passing mentions in the media about McGinn relating to her work for CIP exonerating California prisoners. However, it would be very strange if it were otherwise. The CIP attorneys work in teams, and it’s unusual when one is singled out by the media to be profiled, unless they hold an executive post within CIP. Ironically, I found and included one such profile of McGinn here, but the passage and reference had been deleted by a previous editor.

About the high-profile State of Iowa appointment, there was, as I’ve said, very substantial media coverage, but because it was a local not a national story, it was covered by media like The Des Moines Register, not (for example) The Washington Post. This should be taken into account.

There is a profile of McGinn here in Spanish, which I didn’t use, about her teaching Chilean attorneys about exoneration in the context of the American and Chilean justice systems. There’s also this story , also in Spanish, about McGinn training Mexican students how to do oral trials. Can these be used even though they’re not in English?

The sole reason that I included McGinn’s LinkedIn profile as a reference, a fact that some people seem particularly put out by, was because that profile contains her downloadable resume (and I indicated this clearly in brackets in the reference), which provides information about her career history not otherwise available. If this link is considered unnecessary, it should be deleted and I’m fine with that.

Delete - In addition to what's already been said, the usable sources seem like they are mostly for the specific job she was doing in Iowa. She did this for a year, and this job is, presumably, still just as important even without her participation. These sources do not appear to be sufficient to support an article for Wrongful Convictions Division of the Iowa State Public Defender's office. We do not even have Wrongful Convictions Division or Iowa State Public Defender, and barely have one for Attorney General of Iowa. This illustrates the problem with this kind of paid editing: It inflates the apparent significance of some individuals, while undermining the actual significance of the work they do.

There's a bunch of fighting over this, going back years--we might as well try to establish whether this is a notable journalist in the first place. (BTW it's entirely possible that one person has, over the years, been blanking this and urging for removal, but that's by the by.) Recently an IP editor added a bunch of links that establish that the subject indeed published some reviews--but they are minor, in minor publications, and they are all primary sources. I can find nothing in the way of secondary sources, and so it seems to me that this subject does not pass our notability guidelines. Drmies (talk) 17:14, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well this is interesting. I see that a PROD by Boleyn was removed (by User:Aspects) and that there was a previous AfD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trent McMartin--that was hard to find in the history. That AfD was closed by User:JIP. It is clear, to me anyway, that that AfD would not stand anymore today (it's from 2005), and at any rate doesn't present a shred of evidence that our notability guidelines are met today (or were met in 2005).

Carl Jacob Hammarsköld

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a tough one. The article has a truckload of sources, but looking at them more closely, they appear to be in many cases passing mentions (e.g. this is the only mention of him in a book where I expected his exploits to be more fully documented, and in "The Swedish Heritage in America" by kastrup he also only gets one line: "Her son, Carl Jacob Hammarskold, who had become his father's business partner, hastened to join the Confederate forces, but in 1862 he had to resign because of injuries."), primary sources, or sources of very limited reliability and distribution (like specialized genealogical publications). Much of the article is about his family, not about him.

All in all, this is a well written article, but about an ultimately non notable figure. Searching for other sources gave no results, there seem to be no independent, reliable sources who have spent more than one or two lines on him.

Beyond the impossibility of knowing why these young fighters where killed, there is the question of POV-pushing by sources. The Townsfolk interviewed would like to build a memorial that,"Instead of the current inscription "14 unknown German soldiers" would describe dead as "five soldiers" plus "nine shot young people." But these 9 young men were German soldiers; it had become a desperate war for Germany, with the result that the the Hitler Youth, teenage boys as young as eleven, were given guns and sent to the front as soldiers, to kill and to die. Source #1 on the page, the Volksstimmeis pushing revisionist history according to which American soldiers executed unarmed German "boys". The 2nd source describes a retired American Army Captain who came to Treseburg to apologize to the town for American atrocities during the WWII. "I came from America to ask for forgiveness for the murder committed by US forces, to take responsibility for this war crime and to acknowledge the illegitimacy of these murders." I can find no indication that Drucker knows or pretends to know anything that German and American investigators and historians do not know. His appears to be a minor academic and political activist, for world peace and against global warming. But there do not appear to be any records of what went on in Treseburg, no contemporary accounts of why or precisely by whom those young soldiers where shot. Editors shhod be aware that the two newspapers used to source this page are pushing revisionist history in which American war criminals murdered innocent young German boys during what we used to call the invasion of Germany.

Keep. Rationale is given as
WP:BLP1E
but this doesn’t apply as the third criterion isn’t met, clearly the event IS significant and the individual's role WAS both substantial and well documented. One reason why this strikes me as particularly pertinent is whilst the anti-vax “movement” has in recent years spread rapidly through misinformation and social media, it is only now significant numbers of unvaccinated young people are reaching the age of majority in order for this to be important. Clearly this man is something of a landmark case, hence bringing him to congress.

I would note that the cite I proffered is that the person wrote for those publications, and if publications are reliable for anything they are reliable for the fact that the person wrote for them. Would The Nation say that a person wrote for them, and that the article they wrote was written by that person and that is not a reliable source because the person who clearly wrote for the publication says they wrote for the publication? And the writer wrote their own statement that they had written for such a publication? That is beyond a reasonable stretch. This person has achieved significant notoriety as you clearly realize.

I can not for the life of me understand what you're trying to ask. Are you arguing that anyone who has authored an article for the Nation meets GNG? Simply having an author bio is not a sign of notability. Every journalist... every pundit... has an author bio in the publications where they published something. If I author an op-ed in the Washington Post, and the WaPo can be sourced for that fact... that doesn't mean I meet the criteria for GNG.

You are doubling down on your position Author bios are usually written by the authors themselves as the reason an author can not be notable even though they have had a reasonable number of articles in "reliable sources"? If you write three articles for The Nation, and quoted in a number of articles on Salon, writing nine articles for Salon, and a bunch of others in other "reliable sources" - they, yes, being published repeatedly in reliable sources is a sign of notability. This is not your "single op-ed for WaPo" example. Not famous perhaps, but meets Wikipedia standards, even if I loathe her "interesting" opinions. Collect (talk) 18:29, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Being published in RS (her op-eds in Salon and the Nation are absolutely not RS) is not being covered by RS. If that's the standard, then every single journalist and pundit with a couple of publications would get their own Wikipedia page.

Comment The page on Eleanor is a bit misleading, I think she may have been more encyclopedic than her husband. In particular, Eleanor was president of the Arkansas Federation of Business and Professional Women and vice-president of the American Association of University Women]. Also, she was national president of the College Placement Council (now National Association of Colleges and Employers) in the early 1970s. Later in the 1970s, she was a Dean of Student Services at Louisiana Tech (all positions according to articles on newspapers.com) while her husband was an academic with a focus on local history. His focus on local history was likely what led to the creation of his article (article creator Billy Hathorn focused on local history of Arkansas and Texas). Eleanor had a more outward focused career, serving in leadership role of somewhat significant national organizations. I'd support keeping an article on Eleanor, but am not sure how to split these. I would not !vote on the current article on John. Is a rename with excise of the material on John a possible outcome? If so, I would be happy to expand the article on Eleanor with the information I noted. Smmurphy^(Talk) 22:06, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@
WP:CWW, but my feeling is that trying to change the main subject of the article during an AfD is not enjoyable and worsens the AfD discussion. If the consensus were that an article on Eleanor should be written using this current article as a start point, we could move the article (with or without redirect) to draft or (my?) userspace and do it that way. In other words, I plan to write/expand an article on Eleanor after this decision regardless of the outcome of this AfD (unless the AfD outcome were that I definitely shouldn't).

@Bearian: @Smmurphy: That's why I think it's best the article be deleted and then a separate article be submitted on Eleanor.

Comment A search of Newspapers.com shows articles about John Ardis Cawthon and his work in 6 newspapers in Louisiana and Texas. Although many of the sources currently included in the article are not reliable (or not relevant), I note that there is a 3 page biography in North Louisiana History. Elenora Albrecht Cawthon should probably not be included in her husband's article - as other editors have noted, there are additional sources for her too. I don't see why the present article needs to be deleted in order to improve the sourcing - why not delete the unreliable sources and the irrelevant content, and add reliable new sources? I will try to do that for John, and then assess his notability. And I believe that there are ways of separating articles into two that maintain the editing history, which could be done for Elenora Albrecht Cawthon.

Keep. This was arguably the most important figure to play his instrument in the history of popular music, at least since it began being recorded. This is not an exhaustive list, it is just the list to recordings important enough for Wikipedia to already have articles on them. As such, I would also point out the DEL7 is a crock here, because most of those articles that are linked list him. No, the listing in the article is not sufficient. There is an entire separate discography age for Nancy Sinatra; this guy walks all over her in importance. I'm stunned this would be an issue. I really am. Teikovo (talk) 14:29, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This musician, as a drummer, did not put out solo or substantially-solo works and so does not have a discography article as, say, a vocalist or keyboardist might. But he was legendary, and part of that is the wide range of styles that this article documents. This article is analogous to a discography for other musicians. It is badly in need of sourcing, but that's not a deletion discussion. TJRC (talk) 20:35, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As an additional note, I don't think that the stated basis for deletion,
WP:DEL7
("Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed"), applies here. Yes, the article needs sources, and has been tagged for a very long time. But time alone is not evidence that anyone has undertaken "thorough attempts to find reliable sources" and that those attempts have failed.

A recent edit deleted all the unsourced entries. Ordinarily I'd be okay with that (or even do that myself), but given that the musician's recent death and this AfD, and the concomitant attention both of those things generate, I'd leave that for some period longer to assist the editors who have already begun to add sources, correcting the only real problem this article has. TJRC (talk) 19:13, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The list on the Hal Blaine article is more specific and is little more than 25% the size of the list in this article. Rather than adequate justification for deletion of this article, it qualifies the continued presence of this article. If it calls for a change, perhaps that change is to move the entries of recordings from the Hal Blaine article and maintain this as the sole location AND expand it. Additionally, few - if any - musicians contributed to the success of so much music without being recognized widely as a "celebrity" in the ways that Elvis, Dolly Parton or Cliff Richard might be, and even when added together, the output of those celebrities doesn't begin to approach the size of Blaine's. The fact that it's unlikely to ever be complete (less than 0.2% of his total contributions) does not mean it's unworthy as a WP article. If it was OK for such as Discogs to be the only repository of the information, there would be a good case for deletion of all articles about individual films or actors, because IMDB does the job already. WP is more encyclopedic than either of those, not an enhanced list, and it's arguably more accurate as it is somewhat sourced and policed more effectively. It makes perfect sense for an article on the man himself and a separately organized article listing his involvement in some of the most well known recordings of music. It lacks sources, but that's not enough to delete it.Twistlethrop (talk) 06:51, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Whether the references need improvement or not, the traffic is a strong indicator of the notability of this subject. The article currently averages close to 100 daily views, more than enough to justify the article. - JGabbard (talk) 00:46, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE--What is he notable for? I don't get why a wiki page was created for this guy, a few sources and him being on Youtube does not make him notable. He may be notable where he lives but how many people actually know him. @JGabbard: those 100 daily views may have come from people who have accidentally just clicked on him or pressed the random button on the side bar. I do it all the time. There is actually no proof that this person is actually notable apart from a couple of references. If he was so notable then why is his page a stub? Plum3600 (talk) 14:07, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Randomized views are theoretically spread out across the nearly 6 million articles, so that has no bearing. And no one's notability is dependent on your having heard of them. Most people have never heard of most people. YouTube personalities are a huge thing nowadays, but unnecessary when notoriety was gained decades earlier. And stubs are stubs so they can be developed, not deleted. - JGabbard (talk) 14:57, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Although it is true that articles don't have to already be perfect before they're allowed to exist, they still have to at least contain a credible and properly sourced indication of notability in the first place before they're allowed to exist. If "it might be improvable someday" were all it took to stave off deletion in and of itself, we'd have to always keep an article about every single person who exists at all including you and me and the old lady across the hall. So we don't keep poorly sourced articles just because somebody theorizes that maybe they might become improvable in the future — the key to getting an article into the keep zone in a deletion discussion is to show hard evidence that the quality of sourcing needed to get them over the bar does exist, not just to speculate that it might improve in the future.

Keep. Passes
WP:GNG not only because of multiple secondary sources, but also a documentary about his life. Rogers is a pioneer figure who gained notoriety in the realm at least five to 10 years before associated figures arose such as John Paulk, Anne Paulk, Andrew Comiskey, John Smid, Alan Chambers, Wayne Besen and Joe Dallas, most of whose articles have far less support than this one now has. Relatively speaking, it would make no sense to keep theirs but not his, because Rogers' notability surpasses theirs and they would all likely say the same.

reference bombing everything the creator could get their hands on, including product sales pages on Amazon.com and directory entries on streaming platforms and Blogspot blogs -- while the relatively few references that are actually reliable sources all just namecheck that she exists in the process of being about the band.

Keep, also notable as an artist and writer. The concerns of the nom can be taken care of without deletion (and do not support deletion anyway, just redirection). Low-quality unnecessary references can be removed at any time by editorial discretion. —Kusma (t·c) 09:48, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neither artists nor writers get an automatic "notable just because they exist" either. Notability still requires both (a) an actual notability claim to be present in the article in the first place, which "she and her work exist" is not, and (b) actual reliable sourcing to support it. There's not a single reliable source in the article that's covering her in an artistic or literary context — the reliable sources are entirely about the band she's in as a musician, while the art and literature is entirely junksourced to unreliable garbage. Even for artists and writers, the notability test is still "media coverage given to her in the context of accomplishing something significant", not just "she is verifiable as existing". Bearcat (talk) 20:34, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, and there is such coverage. Perlentaucher mentions reviews of two of her books in major newspapers, the
tageszeitung talks about her more than a hundred times [18]. Her "Wollita" artwork caused a bit of a scandal in Berlin. The German article has a lot of that info, but with fairly poor referencing.

Keep The best of the refererences now in the article are adequate to show that she is notable and that she has some interesting accomplishments independent of the duo. Of course, the article is poor stylistically and the solution to the valid criticism of refererence bombing is to remove the lower quality refererences and expand the article based on what the better refererences say about her.

Whether or not we list businesses in neighborhood articles turs out to be an interesting question. Switching coasts, I note that 1.) Porter Square includes a long list of non-blue-linked local businesses; 2.) Harvard Square, Davis Square, Ball Square include both bluelinked and completely unsourced , non-bluelinked businesses in the text. 3.) Porter Square mention businesses in the text but they seem to be all bluelinked. and does not have lists. 4.) Kendall Square has a long list of bluelinked businesses and mentions other bluelinked businesses in the text. 5.) Powder House Square mentions no business by name. Do we have any sort of policy that applies here? I would have thought that to be mentioned by name in an article, a business ought to be either A.) bluelinked, and appropriately added to the neighborhood where it is located. Or B.) sourced. I am astounded by how many neighborhood articles in the couple of east coast youth-mecca towns that I spot-checked (because similarity to Portland,) are stuffed with completely unsourced local businesses. Opinion anyone?E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:18, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@E.M.Gregory: Hmm, that is interesting. I don't have a general opinion on whether non-bluelinked organizations should be mentioned in neighborhood articles—I can imagine some cases where a business is not notable enough for its own article, but could be mentioned in its neighborhood article if reliable sources mention a connection. Unsourced, non-bluelinked businesses should probably be removed. I had a related debate at Talk:Sunderland, Portland, Oregon#Dignity Village about whether the Dignity Village homeless encampment should be mentioned in Sunderland, Portland, Oregon. I argued for inclusion there because Dignity Village is notable by our standards, even though sources don't seem to make a connection between it and the Sunderland neighborhood.

I suppose whether or not to include mention of Joq's/Sullivan's within the "LGBT culture of Portland, Oregon" article is a separate matter.

I've not spent time combing through The Oregonian archives to compile a list of sources and support keeping the standalone article. I believe more research is needed, hence my vote to simply redirect for now, rather than deleting the entire article's history. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:35, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm reading correctly, you're currently voting to delete the article. Do you still believe the page should be deleted, or have I overlooked where you may have changed your vote? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:36, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I do a lot of AfD and I usually vote to delete. I work hard to keep and source articles I find at AfD, and often succeed. But the truth is that the majority of articles that get to AfD get here because the sources just aren't there to pass our notability standards.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:25, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@E.M.Gregory: I understand, but does that mean you still want to delete this page even though the redirect serves a purpose by directing readers to the LGBT culture in Portland, Oregon article? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:30, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. But let add that I, too, have created articles that I thought were notable, only to find that I was mistaken, and the sources just weren't there.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:51, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for clarifying. I'm not sure I understand why you'd want to delete a page when the redirect would serve a purpose, but that's ok. Thanks again! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:53, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While Another Believer does so with civility, his approach comes across as tenaciously pressuring and manipulating to get his way. Remember, emphasize on the policy based argument and tap into previous noticeboard discussions if needed. Graywalls (talk) 19:27, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Graywalls, What? I'm not pressuring anyone to vote any particular way. Look, my life will go on just fine if this page is deleted. I'm posing a fair question, which is why would we delete a page when the redirect serves a purpose? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:29, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have already expressed my reason for this earlier on in this AfD, therefore I will refer you back to that. Graywalls (talk) 19:34, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(I wasn't asking you again, I just just replying to your comment accusing me of being manipulative.) ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:41, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to LGBT culture in Portland, Oregon. The subject is appropriately referenced in the LGBT Culture in PDX article. Since it's covered there, a redirect seems the best option. --Kbabej (talk) 22:20, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He is a spokesperson for the party, not an elected politician. Also many references talk about the fact that he is the great-grandson of

Keep - He presided as the Vice-President of the
WP:NPOL, he has held national office and has had significant press coverage. It is true that he is referred to as the great grandson of C. Rajagopalachari in most news sources. However, I believe this must not be held as grounds for claiming the article as not notable enough. Crayonmush (talk) 12:37, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply

Is the Vice president of the RGNIYD a ministerial position, I doubt that, based on what I know ministers in India are at the least heads of a department(like transportation, education etc) of a state . Being a board member of a company is not enough to be notable. Being a prominent TV figure, now that could be a sign of notability. TO be considered for
WP:NPOL he should be a politician or atleast participated in an election. Daiyusha (talk) 13:01, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply

~~I stand corrected, the Vice President/Vice Chairman (used~~ interchangeably ) of the RGNIYD is not a ministerial position, it is held by someone who is "an eminent person in the field of Youth Development to be nominated by the Visitor", as per the Act(source). Doesn't being a spokesperson of a party mean he is a politician, as a Politician is defined as a person active in party politics, or a person holding or seeking office in government. Thank you for the quick response. Crayonmush (talk) 13:47, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature", well that implies elected people are considered politicians as per WP:NPOL. Of course the meaning is a bit vague, but for wiki purposes only elected people are considered so. Daiyusha (talk) 17:04, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you about this particular article, but the claim that "for wiki purposes only elected people are considered so" is not true. No member of the federal executive branch in the US is elected, apart from the president and vice-president, but senior members clearly pass

Delete Is not the "general name" of the campaign; the US Army officially calls it "Central Europe" (cf. List of United States Army campaigns during World War II), and our article that covers it is Western Allied invasion of Germany. Nothing of value here. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 01:42, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - While expansion of the role of the 6th Army and battles it fought are possible, this title is OR and seems to incorrectly (in my opinion) treat it as a separate, complimentary campaign to the 12th's. I don't think a redirect to Western Allied invasion of Germany would be any good because the title, "South German Offensive", need not refer to an allied effort during WWII (for instance, it could just as easily refer to Napoleon's southwestern campaign covered at Army of the Danube).

Strong Delete Classic startup with refs that fails
WP:ORGIND. No real coverage, usual acquisitions, stock, buyout churnalism. Press releases were previously removed in 2015 and then new press releases added back. Highly promotional.

Strong Keep The arguments I made in the last AfD still hold. I also strongly object to re-listing an article for deletion after so short a time period - there was no consensus then, so there is no particular reason why there should be a consensus now. The real purpose in listing this article is to have a discussion without all those inconvenient "keep" voices. In terms of "wasting editor time", the real waste of time is in replying to these constant AfDs. Personally, I have largely stopped editing Wikipedia, because I am so discouraged by the power of the deletionists over AFDs - I never know when one of my articles will be nominated for deletion, and my hard work deleted by the whim of some deletionist editor who thinks that almost every company article is spam. I would ask those participating in this discussion how many company articles you have written. If the answer is none, are you really qualified to judge those articles written by others? -Mparrault (talk) 15:03, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mparrault: How are you? Don't lose hope. Six months is a fair bit of time for a relisting gap. As regards the article, you seem to write in a particularity promotional manner that reflects the language of business, specifically marketing and branding as opposed to the language of Wikipedia, which is neutral, factual, verifiable and free of promotion. scope_creep^Talk 13:07, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Guardian piece is blog, and Forbes piece mentioned in previous AfD is a casual mention, providing no in-depth coverage of the topic. The balance of the article is based on press released, so GNG and NCORP are not met, and I can't think of any other criteria by which this topic achieves notability. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 16:05, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
