Poorly sourced article about a mayor of a small town. While there is content here that suggests a potential basis to deem her more notable than usual for smalltown mayors, the referencing isn't actually supporting any of it: there are just four footnotes, comprising a

• Keep - there is a shortage of bios of women on Wikipedia. The individual was one of a handful of women mayors in Ontario in the 1950s and 1960s so it's worth keeping. Editors are free to improve the article but deleting it would not improve Wikipedia but hurt it. 99.230.241.165 (talk) 16:53, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

— 99.230.241.165 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

As important as it is to improve Wikipedia's coverage of women, being female is not in and of itself an instant notability freebie that exempts a woman mayor from actually having to have enough

reliable source coverage to clear NPOL's criteria for the notability of mayors — and her gender does not erase the "created by a sockpuppet of a banned user" issue either. Nothing stops a trustworthy and responsible editor from recreating a new, better-referenced version in the future, but sockpuppet content has to go no matter what, and insufficiently referenced content isn't kept indefinitely either.

The article was created by User:Zanimum who 1) isn't a banned user, and 2) hasn't been informed of your deletion proposal. 45.72.208.121 (talk) 00:24, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

— 45.72.208.121 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

We don't care who originally started the article — we care who added the content that constitutes the current version of the article, and the person who did that was a sockpuppet of a banned user. But reverting back to Zanimum's version to erase the banned sockpuppet's contributions would make this a completely unreferenced stub with even less reason to stick around. Bearcat (talk) 00:48, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have an obligation to inform the article creator of your proposal so that 1) they can respond, and 2) they can try to improve the article. 45.72.208.121 (talk) 00:51, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, Zanimum was not the creator of the page. It was created as a redirect by somebody else first, and then converted into an article by Zanimum after the fact. Secondly, Twinkle automatically notifies the original creator of the page as part of the process of creating an AFD discussion — and it's not my responsibility to expend any extra effort into manually notifying anybody else beyond the recipient of Twinkle's automatic notification. That's not how AFD rules work: I have no special responsibility to take any extra steps above and beyond the purely automated process that Twinkle finishes on its own. In fact, even if Twinkle occasionally misses a step because of a system bug outside of my control, I still don't even have any special responsibility to have gone out of my way to review whether it did everything it was supposed to or not. Once I hit save on Twinkle itself, I have no further responsibility to go around giving out extra notifications to anybody Twinkle didn't already notify on its own. Bearcat (talk) 01:08, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I'm the editor who created the redirect with the intention of eventually making an article, then obviously forgot about it. I do think she is notable, but I've not gotten into researching it enough to be sure. She was one of the first female mayors in Toronto and was mayor during/after Hurricane Hazel, but there might not be enough references to build anything. I am not ready to start on this one. I would be okay with working in the Draft: space. I would prefer that to a full delete at this time. Alaney2k (talk) 15:28, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did some work on the article today. It has a fair number of references although I have not done the entire period she was a politician. The idea that she is behind the regional park system in Toronto has not been fully referenced. Alaney2k (talk) 20:41, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that's the kind of thing we needed. There have now been enough changes made to the article that we can resolve the issue by simply revdelling the banned user's contributions to the edit history instead of having to delete the whole thing and redo it from scratch, so I'm going to withdraw this.

Article about footballer who made 2 substitute's appearances for Swindon Town in the fully-pro English fourth level. The only online coverage of this player is routine (e.g., match reports, transfer announcements/controversy, or statistical database entries). There is nothing significant in this coverage, and nothing at all since he left Swindon Town in 2003. Prior consensus (e.g.,

• Delete – no significant coverage to satisfy
  WP:GNG. The best I can find is this borderline coverage, this routine coverage, and this brief mention. His old team profile says he played 3 games: 2 as a substitute and 1 as a starter 15 years ago. WF and SW confirm he has only played amateur since then, and is now 36 years old. Barely passes NFOOTY but does not meet GNG. Delete. Leviv ich 18:29, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

• You are correct that he made one start in the EFL Trophy competition. Not a fully-pro league, but I suppose some would argue it's roughly the equivalent (it's not as many clubs don't take it seriously - which appears to be the case with Swindon when he started). Jogurney (talk) 20:01, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Ah–I didn't pick up on that, thanks for point it out. Some might argue otherwise, but not a fully-pro league is not a fully-pro league, so you are correct: 2 NFOOTY game appearances, not 3, and both as a substitute. Leviv ich 22:00, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep by NFOOTY is irrelevant as NFOOTY merely creates a presumption of SIGCOV - in cases where this is challenged - then absent coming up with the significant, reliable, independent sources - the subject should be deleted. In this case our subject just barely scrapes by the NFOOTY bar (having played 2 games in a borderline league), has since returned to amateur football and is unlikely to garner more coverage as he hasn't been a pro for quite some time. Icewhiz (talk) 14:19, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep there is enough coverage here to satisfy GNG from a quick Google search. This player meets agreed notability criteria, a willing editor with an interest in these teams or leagues can expand this whenever they like seeing as we are not on deadline to finish it.

• Comment - For those arguing that the article meets the GNG, could you please explain why? I don't think the Skysports article gets there, but it is the least routine coverage on the subject. I'm sorry but a name drop in an article about the CAS appeal by Swindon Town isn't significant coverage of this footballer. I tried and came up way short on finding GNG-compliant sourcing. Jogurney (talk) 17:55, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• The Sky Sports article on its own wouldn't get any article past
  WP:GNG, the Gazzette and Herald article isn't bad either, there are several articles on his FIFA/CAS case, several articles in French, and coverage which we'd consider routine for GNG purposes but that could also be considered helpful in fleshing out the article. GNG's not that difficult a bar. SportingFlyer T·C 01:34, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

As for GNG, Gazette & Herald is 20+ sentences all about the player, but SkySports is 8 sentences, and BBC is 7 sentences. These really aren't SIGCOV IMO.

  WP:NSPORTS which says Please note that the failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept.

Although he didn't play one game of professional football, I consider that he has merits as an important college player:

• 1) Being selected as a two-time first-team in an important conference like the Atlantic Coast Conference. Which is rare.
• 2) Being a four-year starter in college which is rare.
• 3) Being an All-American.
• 4) Additional to these points, he has one of the longest track records (shot put) in the history of the state of North Carolina. He also set the shot put record in the University of North Carolina.Tecmo (talk) 22:27, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, almost all of your points have corollaries:

1. All-ACC is a small designation bestowed on many players. It's not rare at all. At the time there were only 8 schools in the ACC. This means he beat out at best, 15 other offensive lineman for this designation.
2. A four-year starter is not rare, especially for offensive linemen. We are not talking about a QB or RB here.
3. He was third-team all-American, again not a rare feat in college sports, especially for offensive linemen.
4. The first point was when he was in high school, so not applicable to his college exploits. It also was a record just for 4-A schools, not for the entire state. Setting school records also does not provide notability.

1) from 1953 to 1998 (the only information I have and also put as a reference in the article), there have been less than 30 players in the University of North Carolina to be at least two-time first-team All-ACC.

2) from 1953 to 1998 (the only information I have and also put as a reference in the article), there have been less than 160 players in the University of North Carolina to be named All-American at least once.

3) four-year starters are rare even on the offensive line because it takes durability and skills.Tecmo (talk) 23:24, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Darian calendar

Darian calendar (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

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

An interesting idea, but not one that has significant coverage in 3rd party reliable sources. It has been referenced, mostly as a curiosity, in a couple of books but in-depth coverage has come from a single source, the man who proposed the system himself. A brief section in timekeeping on Mars is probably warrented here but not a dedicated article. MadeYourReadThis (talk) 20:21, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete According to Issues and options for a Martian calendar the Darian calendar is one of >70! proposed calendars and "there is still no standardised system for expressing the date on Mars." There is already a paragraph on Darian at Timekeeping on Mars. There is not enough significant coverage of this topic in reliable sources to warrant a standalone article nor to merge the bulk of this article to ToM per undue weight. Having said that, the contributors to this article are invited to ping me or ask at v:Wikiversity:Requests for Import should they wish to develop a resource at Wikiversity on this topic. --mikeu ^talk 01:23, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The article is well sourced and includes a considerable number of (non-inline) reliable references such as American Astronautical Society and Journal of the British Interplanetary Society. That it is one of many proposed Martian calendars is all the more a reason to keep it. Markvs88 (talk) 11:58, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sources are certainly numerous, but are they in-depth? Are they independent? Seven of the eleven inline cites and six of the eleven references are to Gangale, the inventor of the calendar, so don't count towards notability. The Allison source just lists it in tables with dozens of other proposals, not in-depth. The Moss source is a deadlink and the claimed archive link has nothing useful in it. I'll take another look tomorrow, but so far, it's not looking good. SpinningSpark 00:07, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fair points, all. I have broken out a "non-fiction" section, and added two new (definitely independent) sources, as well as moving one of the extant references to inline. Two of the three are in published books. I believe that with a bit more work this will pass

wp:gng. Markvs88 (talk) 14:53, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

I think an "In non-fiction" section is a terrible idea. Our article is a non-fiction article about a non-fiction subject and anything relevant those sources have to say should be a cited fact in the article. Of the two sources you have added, the Micro Lessons source is useless; it is only a passing mention and goes on to link to the Wikipedia article, thus suggesting that's where they got the information. It's not an improvement and shouldn't be in the article at all. On the other hand, the Encyclopaedia of Metrology has a substantial article and goes a good way towards GNG. One more like that (GNG requires sources plural) and I'll change to keep. The story that Gangale got the idea from a Heinlein SF book is a great out-of-universe fact that could be cited in the "In fiction" section, greatly improving that sections encycloaedic worth. SpinningSpark 18:05, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, if you can come up with a better heading, please feel free to change it. Since not all of the non-fiction sources are academic journals I was stumped. I disagree on "Micro Lesssons": it is not useless because it lends credence to the idea that of the 70 or so proposed Martian calendars that it is one of the "best choices" or "major options" and therefore satisfies

• Redirect, no independent, in-depth coverage meeting GNG. It already has a paragraph in Timekeeping on Mars which is sufficient. I'll change my !vote if someone can point to decent coverage. Here is my analysis of the sources in the article;
  • Notes
    • Gangale (7 refs), not independent
    • Allison, passing mention
    • Moss, deadlink, including all archives
    • Clancy, not even a mention
    • Aitken, not even a mention
  • References
    • Bennett, a work of fiction (Star Trek)
    • Gangale (6 refs), not independent
    • Hale-Evans, barely a paragraph in a lightweight self-help book
    • Rajaniemi, a work of fiction
    • Sakers, one sentence and some passing mentions in a book about science fiction
    • Smith, one brief paragraph

SpinningSpark 09:13, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Changing to keep. There is a substantial article in Astronomy Now which together with the substantial source found by Markvs88 gets it past GNG. SpinningSpark 18:22, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep The article kind of annoys me in the way it drags in every last scrap of passing mention and micro-notability; it's doing a good impression of a non-notable topic frantically trying to prove the opposite (that "Darian calendar in non-fiction" section makes me cringe). Despite this unfortunate presentation, I think there's in fact enough secondary coverage to squeeze through. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:52, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Commenting that I think it is fine the poster made a starter page, even without solid referencing. We can help. The age of the company of course means digitized newspaper articles are somewhat lacking. That doesn't mean press doesn't exist, just that some additional scrounging behind paywalls may be necessary. I did find an excellent New York Times article from 1961, and various other shorter mentions.
  • • "NEW CONCERN FORMED; American Micro Devices to Make Electronic Items". www.nytimes.com.
      New York Times. 1961. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help
      )

The research I brought back to page is confusing unfortunately. Some reports say the company ceased to exist in 1980, but other articles cite it as a powerhouse in the 1990s. Either the company was rekindled, or those journalists are ragingly incompetent and are misspelling

Advanced Micro Devices. Until we've clarified, hard to argue the company is not of note. If someone with paywall access in Minnesota or California looked through local newspapers, perhaps we could find some clarification. Articles describe the company having offices in Minnesota and Silicon Valley.MidwestSalamander (talk) 14:40, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

Unless such sources it's find it's an invalid argument, per

WP:AUDIENCE - if coverage exists only in local newspapers, new or old, that's not enough. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:48, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

Local may have been a foolish way for me to say it, I know it can be sort of a dirty word in AFD. Of course small city rags or regional trade publications are typically low-profile and local, but major city newspapers like the

Mercury News are notable and read throughout their states, and even nationally. They could help us quite a bit, but the availability of their older articles is dodgier than other newspapers. MidwestSalamander (talk) 13:05, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

Agreed. Those would qualify for being regional and if we can find coverage of this company in them that does not look routine/press-release like, it would be a good source for keeping the article. So, now that we agree on what makes for a good source, can we find any? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:35, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do another research round this afternoon, maybe I'll get lucky. If not, then so be it. One New York Times article isn't enough for GNG much less

WP:CORPDEPTH, and I can unfortunately can't think of a good redirect or merge location. MidwestSalamander (talk) 15:28, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

• I did a little bit of digging at newspapers.com, since I have an account there. The most reliable articles seem to indicate that American Micro Devices incorporated in Minnesota in 1961 but did most of its business in Phoenix, Arizona. They made rectifiers for a while, but went out of business in 1965 after Sylvania Electric Products stopped selling American Micro's products. Then, in 1966, American Micro Devices bought Standard Rectifiers of El Monte, CA in 1966, and refinanced and reorganized the company. After that, there's no further news about American Micro Devices except for a couple letters to investment advice columns in 1988 asking if American Micro's stock was still worth anything. The investment advice columnist(s) said that the company went out of business in 1980. So, I'd think that any mentions of American Micro Devices after 1980 are probably confused with Advanced Micro Devices. Based on the fairly minimal coverage I've seen of the 1961-1980 company, they don't look all that notable, so my advice is delete. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 16:01, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  reliable source coverage are covering him in the not-inherently notable contexts, so that doesn't represent enough coverage all by itself. GNG is not just "anybody who's gotten their name into any newspaper two or more times for any reason whatsoever" — it also tests for the context of what the person is getting coverage for. For example, every candidate in an election primary is always going to get coverage in that context — so coverage that exists specifically in the context of an election primary does not instantly make him more notable than every other candidate in the primary. Which means that "Moderate is state GOP's chief booster" is the only citation here that's actually speaking to his potential notability at all, and that's not enough all by itself.

Non-notable band member of a K-pop group: it's the typical K-pop fancruft, where everything is blown up toward notability. The claim, by someone who gets a kick out of insulting people, is that he passes NACTOR because he's a star in some TV show--but all they can produce is an announcement from 2014, on a Korean entertainment portal, that this will happen in the fall of 2014. Since then, who knows. The rest of the person's acting career consists of cameos and appearances in programs about the band he's in. Do not be misled by "cast member" in Real Life Men and Women--it's just another variety show.

Now, if you start Googling him you'll find some hits, because he just quit the business after having been found--allegedly--sharing sex videos illicitly. In other words, the only thing this person could possibly be notable for is a BLP1 event. We need to restore the redirect. Drmies (talk) 00:28, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • MyanmarBBQ, those last two articles say nothing at all: it's just celebrity news, with two or three sentences confirming that he plays this or that part. And if these two sources are so reliable, please indicate (in English) what these publications are, who is on their editorial board, and what their reputation is. I doubt that you can: they are just news-y entertainment portans that also publish celebrity gossip. These other things you mention are web series--they aren't even properly verified in the article, they are web series that don't have articles and may not even exist for all I know (they may just have been announcements that never panned out). I don't think you know what reliable sources are, or what significant coverage means; the subject does not pass NACTOR. So, in the end, the only properly verified content is the sex scandal. But hey, at least you're not calling me a dog anymore. Drmies (talk) 17:01, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Consensus that all of these articles should not be considered as a single group, and for at least some of them reliable sources conveying notability do exist.

I'm nominating several articles about Roland synthesisers for deletion. This is because:

• they fail
  WP:PRODUCT
  , which says: If a company is notable, information on its products and services should generally be included in the article on the company itself, unless the company article is so large that this would make the article unwieldy ... Avoid creating multiple stubs about each individual product (PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator, Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, R-36 Explosive Space Modulator, etc.) especially if there is no realistic hope of expansion.
• they consist almost entirely of original research, with few (if any) good sources
• they are largely untouched, and many have had "more sources needed" tags for years
• Googling these products doesn't throw up better sources

I haven't necessarily nominated all of them... just the low-hanging fruit so far.

• Keep - Perhaps some of these models should be deleted, but I think it is excessive to nominate all of them. Some of these models have prominent status in the music world, and the majority are well-written and referenced. I am not sure if
  WP:PRODUCT can be easily applied to something like instruments, since they are so often referenced and publicized by bands and musicians. I appreciate the intention but I think it's too broad. Skirts⁸⁹ 16:12, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

• Keep - I am actually outraged that you would suggest deleting all these. I am a musician hobbyist and know most of these synths. I owned JD-800 the keyword version of JD-990. The JD-990 is one of the most powerful rack mounts ever made and has a huge fan base in the Synth world. The Roland System 100/100m/700 are one of the first modular synths ever made and very power, also has a huge fan base. Also excellent synths: Alpha Juno (I own the rack version MKS50), JP8000, D-70, JX and SH stuff (I used to own SH-1000), etc. I can go on and on about many of these. If you have specific issue with a specific page, please only nominate those pages and raise your issues. Perhaps a few similar synths can be bundled, but if so, you need to suggest that. Finally, the biggest argument is that many of these synths are very notable, maybe not notable to the general public, but there is a huge community of synthesist that have interest in these and search online for info about them, so Wiki should have these info. Regarding your
  WP:PRODUCT argument, Roland have hundreds of products and it would not be easy to add all in one page, so their products should have their own pages. I will see if I can improve any of them and add more references. I did notice that the JD-990 had only one reference, so I will try to add more.

• Keep - Firstly, as others have pointed out, an absurd amount of articles in the batch nomination to decipher which of the articles are worthy of inclusion. With that the nom is simply not familiar with electronic music gear and the significance these instruments played in the music industry. Lots of these are before the internet age so it’s not exactly ingenuous to target these just because there’s limited current web coverage. But even still many of these are historic and have had significant coverage that can be found on the net easily today. For example, for the R8 the British classic print magazine Music Technology did an extensive contemporary review on it. [13] - not to mention also the R8 MKII a few years later [14] The SH-1000, System 100 and 100M, D-70, JD-800, JD-990, VK-7, JP-8000, R8 and the R5 are featured significantly in the Sound on Sound article “History of Roland” with many of these like the SH-1000 termed as “milestones.” The JD-990 is written there as it was “Roland's best sample-and-synthesis sound module ever in 1993”. [15][16][17][18]. These all have too much topic-specific content to be merged into the Roland page.Oakshade (talk) 21:34, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • With that the nom is simply not familiar with electronic music gear and the significance these instruments played in the music industry You're talking to the guy who wrote the
    TR-808
    FA.

I am familiar with the Sound on Sound history of Roland series and used it extensively in the TR-808 page. Yes, it covers many (perhaps all?) of the articles I've nominated here, but doesn't provide enough content to create much more than a stub for each article. The same stuff, instead, could be merged into a really good single article about Roland synthesisers.

All that said, clearly this was an ambitious nom, so if and when it fails I will see about other approaches. It would be great if some of the "outraged" gearheads who oppose the deletions could help out, because I'm the only editor I regularly see doing heavy lifting on articles about electronic music gear. They are in an appalling state. They consist almost entirely of original research, excess technical detail, next to no sourcing, and little demonstration of notability. And these articles have sat untouched, unimproved and unthreatened for years. They rot and rot and rot.

I'll give you that you did a ton of work on the TR-808 page. But it's funny you said you used the Sound on Sound history of Roland series "extensively" but then say "but doesn't provide enough content to create much more than a stub." Which is it? Anyway, much more extensive coverage found below. Oakshade (talk) 04:53, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This has got me thinking about what constitutes notability for musical equipment in the first place. We don't seem to have, for example, individual articles for every effect pedal - even though there are numerous reviews from reliable sources (as per

Comment - I do believe many guitar pedals are notable enough for their own page, yet they don't have them. I would love to see more of them since many have an extensive history in music. Skirts⁸⁹ 07:53, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that many are notable and could have good pages made of them. But what is the criteria? Would those examples I just linked meet the criteria for notability? If not, why would many of the articles I link above? Seriously, is just "it was reviewed in a magazine" sufficient? (Perhaps it is?)

talk) 07:59, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply

]

This is perhaps getting very meta, but some of the details and minutia in WP instrument pages are what makes it so valuable and insightful. Yes, it's a lot of detail, and yes it sometimes pushes the edge of notability, but as long as an article isn't a COI or too promotional (and it usually isn't with instruments) then I find the info interesting and useful. Sure, maybe a boutique pedal doesn't need a page, but anything from BOSS or Roland or Dunlop probably qualifies. Most car/truck models have a page of their own, for example. Same with cell phones.

I'm fairly certain that at least one of the first hundred UK issues did cover it, either in the magazine or in a supplementary book. I'm not willing to discuss the other articles in this thread; they haven't been nominated independently of the JD-990, and are not part of an entire category to be deleted.
