Virtually no coverage in reliable, independent sources–all I was able to find was some local news coverage in The Yazoo Herald [1]. The article asserts that the subject has won several awards, but after looking each of them up online, it looks like they are insufficiently notable to meet

- Keep Definitely notable, indicative of a widespread attitude. Suggestion to delete as non-notable shows lack of knowledge about Israel and Israeli culture.--Geewhiz (talk) 08:56, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep, well-known phrase in Israel. Tzahy (talk) 21:57, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Highly notable phrase. Coined by Ben-Gurion in 1955. The UN itself has related to this - Kofi Annan himself in 1998 claimed that "Um is not Shmum". In wide use in popular culture. Beyond copious sourcing in Hebrew, there is quite a bit in English on this phrase - e.g. - [3][4][5], Avnery, Uri. "UM-Shmum, UM-Boom." Counterpoise 13.3/4 (2009): 16., Cohen, Amichai, and Stuart A. Cohen. "Israel and International Humanitarian Law: Between the Neo-Realism of State Security and the ‘‘Soft Power'’of Legal Acceptability." israel studies 16.2 (2011): 1-23., Adler, Emanuel. "Israel’s unsettled relations with the world: Causes and consequences." Israel in the World. Routledge, 2012. 11-33.. Icewhiz (talk) 09:24, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- Those sources seem the same as this NYT piece: a particularly poignant anecdote that is frequently used to add color to a very real discussion. Those books aren't covering the phrase, they are noting its existence and usage. If it were a biography, it'd be a "passing mention." ~ Amory (u • t • c) 02:29, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Per Icewhiz. Also, is the WP:OR tag really justified in this article? Seems a pretty simple article on a phrase for which there are solid RS on its WP:GNG notability? Perhaps this OR tag could be fixed using the refs quoted above? Britishfinance (talk) 00:08, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

- Delete per Zero. This could be covered at Israel and the United Nations in a couple of sentences. Having a standalone article is ridiculous. Number 57 18:38, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - notability seems fairly clear from the in-article sources (and only the original Nom takes that deletion argument). While it could be merged, I don't believe it is in violation of REDUNDANTFORK, so a Keep is a logical route, followed by a merge discussion (as the merge is not necessary). Nosebagbear (talk) 00:07, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete/Redirect per Zero and N57. This "article" is six sentences, and even that is too many. This is a perfect candidate for the content to be merged into Israel and the United Nations with a simple redirect left behind. It's clearly been used but I don't see this as meeting GNG — it has been frequently noted but that doesn't make it notable in its own right. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 02:26, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

In 2009 this article came to AfD together with another (that was deleted) and there’s a complex history I can’t follow of bio articles and company articles being deleted and recreated. Anyway I can’t see from this article why the subject is significant and the sources provided look very doubtful in terms of supporting notability.

Outline of Akrotiri and Dhekelia
Basically every link on here is a redirect to the main page on Akrotiri and Dhekelia, or to X of Cyprus (e.g. Climate of Cyprus). Thus, it provides no useful information that isn't covered by Outline of Cyprus or the main article on this topic. — pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 19:14, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

- Keep There is limited coverage on Wiki with regards to the Sovereign Bases and Cyprus as a whole, which is strange as it is an Anglophone nation. As per WP:PRESERVE, I think this article should be retained but heavily restructured. It can be easily argued that the SBA is effectivly a self-governing country, in that whilst the Privy Council and the UK Parliament have precedent, its own administration can set laws and acts as a legislature, along with the fact that whilst claimed as Cypriot territory, the Republic of Cyprus recognises their existence and there are numerous joint agreements set in place. As a result of this, the territory falls well within the bounds of a firm keep as far as outlines of territories and countries are concerned. UaMaol (talk) 17:21, 10 March 2019 (UTC)]
- You argument would seem to be directed at Akrotiri and Dhekelia, which is fine, of course that should be kept. However I'm not sure why you think this list of wikilinks found in that article should have a seperate article - isn't it confusing? --Pontificalibus 14:44, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

This article is sourced almost entirely to the Austin Business Journal, part of the Business Journals group. There's also a dead link to something called austinphoenix.com. A basic BEFORE in newspapers.com, Google News, JSTOR, and Google Books fails to find additional sources. I'm not 100% certain this meets the standards of
- Chetsford, Thanks for starting this discussion, and for acknowledging we are sometimes too hard on certain types of companies. So we're taking updated sourcing into consideration, I should note I've shared some additional links for consideration at Talk:Rock Candy Media. Turns out the company is opening additional offices in California, and was named one of the 50 fastest-growing Austin-based companies, as of 2017. I'm not sure either of these are enough to help demonstrate notability, but wanted to share just in case. Between coverage of RCM, Rock Candy Life, and Annie Liao Jones, I assumed a single entry was appropriate, though I admit I wish there were more coverage in national publications. I found a book and Digiday source to add. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:57, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
- I should also note, there are several helpful paywalled sources in LexisNexis, which I'm trying to list on the talk page and incorporate as possible. Again, I hope editors will consider all available sourcing before making a notability decision. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:08, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Keep (disclaimer, article creator): I acknowledge this article currently has a lot of Austin Business Journal sources. However, I've posted some additional sources on the article's talk page for additional consideration. I found a book source, this in-depth article by Digiday, and others (some ABJ and some not). The company is among Austin's fastest growing companies and has opened an additional office in Los Angeles. I believe this article needs work and expansion, but there is sourcing for editors to consider, and given its current trajectory, likely more on the way. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:49, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

- Comment I agree that the article needs work, and it's definitely problematic that it seems to be being maintained by the subject. I did a search for some sources however, and it's possible that he'd be notable. He seems to have published some books with respectable publishing houses, which have received some attention - This and this are reviews of his books in what appears to be respectable journals, and this indicates that another one of his books is recommended as a reading on a masters course at Edinburgh University; also this is an interview in what appears to be a decent news source (I've never heard of it, but it has an editorial board etc.).

- Weak keep This article does not in fact currently contain any reliably sourced biographical information about the subject herself (as opposed to two of her films), since the Gendai piece is an interview, and therefore a primary source, and therefore only useful for notability purposes if we start down the slippery slope of speculating on whether her being notable enough to have been interviewed by this or that specific source. But it does indeed appear to be the opinion of the community that we can have biographical articles on artists whose works have been profiled in a large number of reliable sources, at least as long as they are white men, so we might as well allow this one on a Japanese woman. I do think some of the topic-specific notability criteria, including WP:NOTINHERITED, but apparently very few others do, so why bother fighting it? That being said, the above two "speedy keep" !votes should be reprimanded for the either (a) making a strawman argument that anyone was claiming the article should be deleted because it didn't happen to cite sources at one time, or (b) saying that notability is "clear" despite the fact that we cannot apparently write anything about her biography without relying on primary sources. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 09:06, 10 March 2019 (UTC)]
- That's fair, the !vote was more a reaction to the poor judgement of the nominator than the merits of the article in question. "Speedy" was uncalled for. Changed to keep.
- Additionally, I see this as the opposite of what WP:NOTINHERITED is design to prevent. If someone is not notable through her actions and creations, then there would be very few Wikipedia articles for creatives. Discretion is obviously required, but there appear to be enough sources to justify the articles inclusion. --Spacepine (talk) 03:00, 12 March 2019 (UTC)]

- Comment: @WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS arguments – and in any case, some of those albums, like Notes on a Conditional Form and Life Metal do have several independent sources to verify the statements in the article. Singular: Act I was put up for deletion for exactly the same reasons as this one: trying to create an article too soon, without any independent sources or verifiable facts. Of course, Act I DID become notable once it was released and charted, but it meant having to go through the whole debate about notability first, because the article was created too soon. This album almost certainly will pass notability as well in a few months, but right now, all we know is it will be released "some time in 2019". It's not even 100% confirmed that "Pushing 20" will be on the album. About the best source right now is this one [10], and it doesn't tell you very much. Richard3120 (talk) 15:56, 8 March 2019 (UTC)]

One review of his works is published by the Arabic Aljazeera. His 'Postmodern imperialism : geopolitics and the great games' is found in 196 libraries around the world with the 'The Canada-Israel Nexus' being in 50 libraries around the world.

- The 1st, of the 2 reviews your mention "Islamic Resistance to Imperialism," by By Joseph J. Kaminski, International University of Sarajevo. in ReOrient: A Forum for Critical Muslim Studies reads: "Walberg’s argument is based on essentialized binaries relating to Islam and the West. On 'the good side' is everything and anything that fits within the rubric of Islam: whether it’s Osama bin Laden, Hezbollah, Hamas, Hasan al Banna, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), Sufism, or the Muslim Brotherhood; it does not matter. They all get defended or rationalized in one way or another throughout this work because, at least, they stand in opposition to the West, or 'the bad side.'" and concludes: " In my opinion, Walberg’s book lacks the nuance and depth necessary to properly tackle such an important subject."
- The 2nd is the review of Postmodern Imperialism: Geopolitics and the Great Games, by Joseph Michael Gratale, is the one that I mention in my Nom as published by a "minor" scholarly journal of a book put out by a very minor publisher claritypress.com. According to the review, Walberg's book focuses on "the unipolar dominance of the USA," “new developments in financial and military-political strategies to ensure control over the world’s resources," "extensive coverage of CIA sponsored coups, interventions, and wars orchestrated by the US in order to maintain a dominant position," "the Israeli lobby have a tremendous influence in shaping US policy," and "discusses at length the role played by Jews in global finance."

- Keep Jack Post isnt just on the Christian O'Connell breakfast show, He used to work as the panel operator on the Hamish and andy show, and still works on their podcast. He was basically their on air sidekick as well, and was on their show for years. The thing is that there isn't really any evidence to prove that apart from listening to the Hamish and Andy show, But he was. the irony is that a Band that was formed on that Radio show, between Hamish, Andy and Jack, has a wikipedia article, with seemingly no issues. People would only know who that band is, unless they listen to the show, in which, if they listen to the show, they would Definitely know who Jack is. I Dont see why these Discussions need to be made, as Jack is notable enough in Melbourne and Australia, to deserve a Wikipedia article. plus he has 42k instagram followers, I believe that shows that he is notable in Melbourne Radio — Preceding unsigned comment added by NickBarker123444431 (talk • contribs) 05:21, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

- Keep He is notable as an on air presenter for multiple radio shows and TV series. Most notably with well known Australian comedy duo Hamish and Andy, who have their own article. He was the on air producer for their radio show as well as being the third host of four seasons of "Hamish and Andy's Gap Year", a Logie award winning tv series. He has recently been on the Christian O'Connell show, which I agree is less notable, but his time with Hamish and Andy, should more then qualify him for a page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.156.134.11 (talk) 18:09, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I believe Jack Post is notable enough to be eligible for an article entry. The way I came across the disambiguation entry for Jack Post (radio presenter). I saw the initial article once it was created by another user and I spent a good time rewriting and properly referencing the article with quality independent sources. The Hamish & Andy Show is arguably the most successful radio show ever created, networks around the world have used it as a case study and tried to emulate it. Outside of the two main hosts, Jack Post was the third host and show producer as well as being heavily involved in most other things under the Hamish & Andy brand name. Now that he is creating a lot of content outside of Hamish & Andy such as The Christian O'Connell Show and his image in Australian media is building, it makes sense that the subject should have his own article. I believe it is within the encyclopaedic scope to include Jack Post in Wikipedia when considering the Australian audience. Fingman (talk) 21:50, 22 February 2019 (UTC)]
- Keep Jack Post is a notable person in Australian entertainment. His contribution and involvement to the Hamish & Andy show alone is enough to warrant him a Wikipedia article. Hamish & Andy have said so themselves in interviews how integral Jack is to their show and its success. His work on the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show is another good example of that. He is heavily involved on that show on air. In Melbourne he is very well known. He has a blue tick on instagram too. BungalowUnit (talk) 01:01, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Please note that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, so unless the subject had some specific and reliably referenced contribution to the H&A Show's success that stands up in its own right then it does not count. If the subject's claim to fame is mainly derived from the H&A Show then the best course of action would be to have a paragraph or two, or even a short section, in that article for the subject, for example about being the third host and producer, with a redirect to that section.

- What ]
- Nope, GPL93 is correct about what POLOUTCOMES meant by "smaller towns". The rule is most definitely not that as soon as a place reaches 20,000 in population, its mayors suddenly get an automatic guaranteed right to have Wikipedia articles regardless of the quality of sourcing or substance those articles actually contain: the notability criterion for local politicians is "who have received significant press coverage", which is not what this article is showing. You need to be familiar with the actual outcomes of past AFDs on similar topics if you expect to be taken seriously as an authority on Wikipedia's notability criteria — and past AFDs have very clearly not supported a population of 20,000 as an instant notability-maker for a mayor. Bearcat (talk) 23:16, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

And at any rate, POLOUTCOMES is simply a summary of common outcomes, not the trump card in a notability debate — the trump card for notability of mayors is WP:NPOL #2, where the notability test is "who have received significant press coverage", but that's not what you're showing.

Whether that gives you enough information to create a biographical article about them, I don't know. Richard3120 (talk) 18:29, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the research! I don't know why you would not think reviews like the ones you posted above are not RS: they are an extremely significant contributor to notability of artists. Look also at these items, which I found partially through their CV page and partially through good old search, are more in-depth:
- A KQED profile that follows the artists in their studio. This is more than an interview. Eight-minutes of TV coverage is in-depth coverage.
- A Flash Art article, circa 1999, shows up as a Google snippet:"Castaneda/Reiman Thomas Healy Collaboration is a fact of life for Charlie Castaneda and Brody Reiman. Forming their alliance in art school, the two women became partners in a construction business, then opened a dog-walking service..."
- The book Bay Area Now Two includes coverage on them. Google snippet says "Castaneda/Reiman Castaneda/Reiman is the professional name for a two-woman art team whose beginnings date back to their undergraduate art school days. Their work is an elegant combination of Arte Povera and Minimalism, merging ..."
- more coverage is in Artists of Invention: A Century of CCA - Page 139
- this 300-word review in SFGATE is not insignificant as it goes into detail on their work,
- There is a review in a 1998 issue of Art in America that I do not have access to,
- A 1998 volume of The New Art Examiner says this in Google Snippet:"For their first New York show, castaneda/reiman a collaborative team based in San Francisco, converted the gallery space into a ... a very elongated Cornell box, a plus- free-standing Newman zip, and an early Bourgeois sculpture confined to an upright coffin. ..."
- So there you are. As much of the coverage is circa 1990, much of it will not be available online. It's easily enough for GNG.]

- Descriptions of exhibtions, aka reviews, are the thing all artists look for and one of the main ways to establish notability. If a reviewer thinks a show is worth reviewing and writes about it, that is an independent form of validation akin to a reporter thinking a politician is notable and doing a profile piece. It's tough to get reviewed, and when it happened in good publications, it is a direct contributor to notability. It's really no different than coverage of a subject in a newspaper. Reviewing the "work" also happens in book reviews, and we certainly accept those from reliable publications. WP:ARTIST also mentions "critical attention" and "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews", so reviews are definitely valid. I do agree that the subject of the writing (the artworks) can be sometimes arcane though.]

RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:36, 8 March 2019 (UTC)]
- Let's close in on those sources. First RebeccaGreen's: The link to the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive takes us to a dry exhibition listing and nothing more; yet no one disputes they exhibit. Then, there's a write up in a magazine devoted to "the serious dog enthusiast" ("the indispensable guide to life with dogs"), which probably cannot be used as a relevant and significant source. Beyond this all we haveis that there are probably other sources out there" which we can never find though since they are offline. Emphasis added.
- Then . And that is all, really. The rest are obscure or impossible-to-find sources, much as we are assured that they must be out there.

I showed up for 18 years and now I'm not notable. Not a chance. scope_creepTalk 22:45, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Scope creep: I am sorry but you are twice wrong. Firstly, he did habilitation not 18 years ago but in 2018, it means 1 year ago. See: http://www.ue.wroc.pl/p/wydzialy/ne/WNE_2017/uchwala_rw_w_sprawie_nadania_st._dr_hab.__sztando_.pdf And it was with all three very good reviews of habilitation reviewers appointed by Central Commission for Degrees and Titles, see: http://www.ck.gov.pl/promotion/id/16755/type/l.html Secondly, the academic career path in Poland is as follows: assistant professor (before phd), adjunct professor (after phd), associate professor (after habilitation), extraordinary professor (after habilitation with significant achievements), full professor (after obtaining professor title from President of Poland). Sztando is now on position of extraordinary professor, see: http://www.ue.wroc.pl/pracownicy/andrzej_sztando.html (in Polish "profesor nadzwyczajny" means "extraordinary professor"). So moving from assistant to associate is regular, not bad but good career move. When it comes to full professorship, the average age of people on the day of awarding them the title of full professor of economic sciences in 2007 was 60.5 years. See table 4: http://mazowsze.hist.pl/35/Rocznik_Towarzystwa_Naukowego_Warszawskiego/874/2011/33813/ I do not have newer data, but as we see in this table, it has grown since 2003, so probably is not smaller today. It means that is not easy to become a full professor of economics in Poland... For Sztando it is last career step to have full professor title, but he is now 48 years old only, so he has time to do it. Thank you Iszop63 (talk) 00:26, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep: In my opinion Sztando passed three WP:PROFcriteria:
Criterion #1: Sztando's scientific publications have been cited 388 times in peer-reviewed scientific publications till 23rd of August 2017. Here is a list of them submitted during his successful habilitation procedure: https://nauka-polska.pl/#/profile/scientist?id=91593&_k=uvcl4t (tab scientific curriculum / achievements) Is 388 a lot? When it comes to public management, yes. In addition, Criterion #1 says: "Differences in typical citation and publication rates and in publication conventions between different academic disciplines should be taken into account" and says: "Publication and citation rates in humanities are generally lower than in sciences". Public management is a young scientific discipline with small number of scientific journals and with no comercial support/interest like traditional, old management, but is extremely important because society, economy and environment deeply depend on it. Criterion #1 says as well: "For the purposes of partially satisfying Criterion 1, significant academic awards and honors may include, for example: ...named lectures or named lecture series". We can see Sztando's certificates/confirmations on named lectures delivered at universities in 11 countries of 4 continents, here: https://nauka-polska.pl/#/profile/scientist?id=91593&_k=uvcl4t (tab scientific curriculum / recomendations). In Criterion #1: "There are other considerations that may be used as contributing factors (usually not sufficient individually) towards satisfying Criterion 1: ...service on editorial boards of scholarly publications". Sztando serves as a member of the Editorial Committee and the International Scientific Program Council of the journal Economic Alternatives (Bulgaria) (see: https://www.unwe.bg/eajournal/en ), as well as member of Editorial Team of Urban Studies and Public Administration (USA) (see: http://www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/uspa/about/editorialTeam ). I think that it is also important that he is an expert monitor of Research Executive Agency of European Commission which agency manages the research and innovation program Horizon 2020 - the largest one in the European Union. See: https://www.ue.wroc.pl/pracownicy/andrzej_sztando.html
Criterion #2. He received Bronze Medal for Long Service. Polish State Act of October 16, 1992 on Orders and distinctions (Journal of Laws 2019, item 25) in Article 18a. says: "The prize for exemplary, exceptionally conscientious performance of duties resulting from professional work in the service of the State is the Medal for the Long-Term Service", see: http://prawo.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/download.xsp/WDU19920900450/U/D19920450Lj.pdf The executive ordinance to this act is the Ordinance of the President of the Republic of Poland on the detailed procedure in cases concerning the awarding of orders and badges and templates of relevant documents. This ordinance contains a template of the application for a discussed medal and in its 18th point it needs "justification of the application, with particular regard to exemplary, exceptionally diligent performance of obligations resulting from professional work, awarded prizes and distinctions", see: http://prawo.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/download.xsp/WDU20140000064/O/D20140064.pdf It is not true that the President of the Republic of Poland gives these medals for just being at work for specific amount of time (this is only a one of formal prerequisites of application. It would be illogical by the way). He gives them for "exemplary, exceptionally diligent performance of obligations resulting from professional work, awarded prizes and distinctions". In the case of Sztando, it was a scientific work, the application of its results in the practice of Polish public management and the scientific awards won.
Criterion #7. He has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. His research results are largely utilized by public managers/authorities in not only Polish practice of strategic management of local and regional development. There is a number of local and regional development strategies implemented in Poland (for voivodeships, provinces, counties, communes, cities etc.) which use those results (public management methods, tools, procedures, rules etc. developed by Sztando). Additionally he is an full author of dozens of them. We can see examples in projected Wikipedia article. It is rare that the research results in public management are so widely used in practice. And we have to remember that each strategy deals with number of long term investments and other public activities, the value of which is calculated in from hundreds of millions up to few billions of PLN (1Eur=4PLN). If it is not "substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity", what is?
Summarizing, in my opinion, Sztando is notabile academic measured by their academic achievements. Thank you Iszop63 (talk) 00:07, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

- @WP:COI in relation to the subject. I am just passionate of local and regional development (not academic, not authority member), so I am going to enrich Wikipedia with information on categories and persons connected to it, from Central European Countries especially. And I want to do it fully in line with Wikipedia rules and vision. In my opinion categories and persons connected with local and regional development' paradigm and successful practice (it happens rarely) are important to economy, society and science, especially to ones from developing countries. This is also the reason why I devote my time and energies to this discussion. Thank you Iszop63 (talk) 10:24, 12 March 2019 (UTC)]

This article is a suspected hoax. All mentions of this subject found online lead back to Wikipedia, and the references are suspect. Two are not about the article subject, and of the other four, only one is available online, and this subject is not actually mentioned there. In fact, nothing that this source used to cite is actually found in the source. Going through them one by one:
- 1. A Bibliography of Folklore. Folklore Society (Great Britain). 1961. (This source exists, but is not available online.)
- 2. Folklore: vol 15. Folklore Society (Great Britain). 1904. (Available here, no mention of this subject.)
- 3. Leach, Maria (1949). Funk & Wagnalls Standard Dictionary of Folklore, Mythology and Legend vol.1. (This source exists, but is not available online.)

source[publication] exists, but [that year] is not available online.) Edited for clarification. Someguy1221 (talk) 23:19, 8 March 2019 (UTC) - 5. Berry Judson, Katherine (2009). Myth and Legends of California and the Old Southwest. (Not available online in the original form, but the eBook published a few years later is, here. Totally irrelevant to the article subject, though.)
- 6. Flanagan, Barry (1983). Barry Flanagan: recent sculpture, October 28-16 November 1983. (Irrelevant.)
The article is not linked from any other Wikipedia article, and has not received any significant edits since its creation ~7.5 years ago. The creation of this article was the creator's only edit to Wikipedia. Someguy1221 (talk) 06:50, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

This article may be entirely false.
1. The Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre have confirmed there is no mention of a hare sighting in the Imber Parish Record for 1318.
2. The Foklore Society have confirmed that neither Wilfrid Bonser's A Bibliography of Folklore (London: Folklore Society, 1961) nor Folklore: vol 15. Folklore Society (Great Britain, 1904) contain any mention to a hare connected with Salisbury, Imber or Wiltshire.

- Delete. Folklore topics are sometimes tough, but there's no real question that this one's a hoax. Google Scholar returns a big fat zip. A text search on the Internet Archive's digitized collection returns only false positives. Google Books gives a handful of hits, but they're mostly self-published; none of them display academic rigor, and all postdate this article's creation, so citogenesis (rather than legitimacy) is the parsimonious explanation. Creating editor was a drive-by with no other contributions, which further tends to support this argument (many of these types of hoaxes are so created, sadly almost certainly by people who know precisely what they're doing).

- Delete - it seems very likely that this is a hoax, as the comments made above well illustrate. Even if it is not an intentional hoax and was a genuine attempt to create an article we have the issue that the references do not seem to be genuine meaning that the article is based on no sources or a bad misinterpretation of sources. Moreover there is no evidence of the topic being notable, especially given the fact it does not seem to be mentioned anywhere else. So almost certainly a hoax, but even if not would fail notability.

- Delete. Strictly speaking, the question of whether the mayors would qualify for their own standalone biographical articles or not is not relevant to the question of whether there's merit in maintaining a list of their names or not. Lists with closed-ended inclusion criteria, such as lists of holders of a specific political office, aren't subject to the "an article must already exist before an entry can be added to the list" rule that applies to open-ended lists where self-promoting wannabes keep trying to add themselves for publicity — for a list like this, the overarching principle is completeness rather than bluelinkedness. The more important problem here, rather, is that the information isn't actually user-generated list on Ancestry.com. So if somebody were to edit this list to change one or more mayors' names, there are no genuinely reliable references in place to verify which information is right and which is wrong — and if we can't be entirely sure that it's even accurate, then we shouldn't be keeping it at all. Bearcat (talk) 18:20, 8 March 2019 (UTC)]
- Comment I agree with Bearcat's reasoning, in that the list itself may be notable, and the only question is whether it is properly sourced. My preference would probably lean toward adding a "needs addition references" tag or draftifying the article before deletion, as the current information is not reliably sourced (largely because it is possible to find the proper sources of the current officeholder and work backward). --Enos733 (talk) 05:12, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

- Strong keep. A search in Arabic shows him to be very noteworthy, and among a number of preachers who have had their Kuwaiti nationality withdrawn for radical religious ideas. Discussion of this in a couple of sources says that a number of people have been stripped of their nationality, ‘most notably’ Awadi. There isn’t a huge amount of coverage in mainstream Gulf media because the press is heavily controlled by the state and he’s an undesirable, but there certainly are sources from reliable mainstream publications such as Al Arab where even if you can’t read Arabic you can see the article is all about him and not just a passing mention; likewise this one in Al Hayat and this one in Al Khaleej online.
