- Delete fails WP:SIGCOV. My searches find stunningly little for an active news presenter with a fairly unique name. gNews turned up nothing. [1] A Proquest news archive search got a total of 12 hits, several on other Gwenans Edwards ("Gwenan hitEdwards, a 26-year-old veterinary nurse"; "At his rented cottage near Denbigh, where he lives with his girlfriend Gwenan Edwards and their chickens and sheep..."). Even the hits on our Gwenan were passing mentions: "The questions posed by presenters Petroc Trelawny and Gwenan Edwards..." ; "digital viewers hoping to receive BBC local news services, such as Newsroom Southeast with the lovely Gwenan Edwards, are being fobbed off with the lamentable cable channel News 24. ", and similar. were passing mentions. The best I found were this: "The questions posed by presenters Petroc Trelawny and Gwenan Edwards." (Wish they weren't there . . . ? Kerr, Michael. The Daily Telegraph; London (UK) [London (UK)]02 Feb 2002: 01. ) and this: "Gate 24's Gwenan Edwards doesn't seem to know if she's presenting a travelogue or a news show. Her reporting is too frothy to come anywhere near serious analysis (she makes Judith Chalmers look like John Simpson; no, not literally) yet the programme's brief requires her to ask questions, for example hard- hitting guided missiles (to a Taj Mahal tour guide) like: "How important is the Taj Mahal to Indian people?" or "Why do they come here - is it just to look at the building or is it to experience it spiritually?"."

'Less than 24 hours after the Mulayam Singh Yadav harangue, Samajwadi Party workers in Ghazipur were all agog, welcoming a new member into their fold.He was neither a cine star nor a socialite with a cause though the fanfare would have warranted one. He was Haider Ali Khan a.k.a Tiger, a local criminal with about half-a-dozen cases lodged against him. In the Uttar Pradesh assembly where Mulayam is the leader of the house, Tigers are the rule rather than the exception.'
So he has political capital for sure.

Wikipedia emphatically does not. We are not a gardening manual, and we don't "spread the word". - b)
This article is currently a +stub with plenty of potential to expand, which is all that is required at Wikipedia for an article to qualify to be allowed.
Errm... no. It also depends on a number of other factors, one of which is whether the material is already covered (which it is - Andrew D.'s standard "I googled a book with this title!" argument for rampant proliferation notwithstanding). --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:08, 21 May 2019 (UTC)- The article is not intended to be a "gardening manual".

- The point I'm trying to make is that "people need to know how to do X" is not a suitable motivation for creating a specific article. It's a laudable ambition but it is not what Wikipedia is for. That's not to say that such a motivation can't dovetail with our actual goal (to summarize information that has already received widespread coverage), but you shouldn't expect a desire to, e.g., enjoy more cherry orchards on the Orkneys to have much impact when trying to start a separate article "Cherry varieties that don't mind snowstorms in July". Expect other considerations, which are being discussed here, to determine that. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:55, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

- Merge as suggested in the nomination. This list is simultaneously overly broad (a plant which grows in Nova Scotia might not grow so well or at all in Alberta) and overly narrow ("honey" bees as opposed to all beneficial pollinators, generally the focus of such articles). The more general North America list is suitably focused (notwithstanding my point about non-honey-producing pollinators) such that a reader, if they're interested, can review the list and determine which plant species might be suitable for their own local climate. As a redirect to the other list, this title is fine. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:21, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. I think the general concept of a merge is a good one, but a concern that I would have with using the current pagename as a redirect is that it does imply a how-to, even if that was not the intent, and that would go against WP:NOT. I also think that the North America page can be improved by revising it to reflect the differences-by-latitude that have been pointed out in this discussion. That does indeed sound like useful and encyclopedic information, but it can be presented better by using multiple page sections instead of multiple pages. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:21, 23 May 2019 (UTC)]

Professor (highest academic rank)
Contains nothing which is not better dealt with in the main article Professor Rathfelder (talk) 21:53, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. Rathfelder (talk) 21:53, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- Keep, but consider reorganizing academic rank articles. The article Professor no longer contains details about the various professor ranks. Ranks mean different things in different countries which posed a problem. There is a series of articles besides the one under consideration that provides information about professorial ranks. (There are some candidates for merger here, which could be done using a well-advertised merge discussion.)
- We also have
- Professors in the United States
- Adjunct professors in North America
- Professors in Canada(redirect)
- Professors in the United Kingdom(redirect)
- all the "Academic ranks in xxxx" articles in Category:Academic ranks
- In October 2014 there was a merge discussion Talk:Professor#Merge which resulted in the splitting of the very large article into the various academic rank by country articles rather than merging the various professor ranks in. This was disputed again in October 2015 but upheld at Talk:Assistant professor#Proposed merge with Professor. StarryGrandma (talk) 00:31, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect to professor. This article was created by one of the participants in the discussion back in 2014 in a good-faith attempt to resolve the professor article situation, but never evolved beyond the current stub that now also mostly overlaps with the main professor article. Regarding the other articles on ranks below professor: As discussed several times, they shouldn't be merged with the professor article, because we need an article that is specifically about the full professor rank as it is understood in most countries, and articles on other ranks that are widely used around the world. Some years ago the professor article had evolved into a monstrosity of an article that attempted to cover all academic ranks in all countries. The scope of such an article is simply too broad and the length of the article was already exceeding academic ranks, but that article already exists as a list. The inflated US informal usage of the term "professor" is also primarily covered by a separate article, Professors in the United States, and while this US-specific usage should be mentioned in the main article, it shouldn't be the basis for the entire article when pretty much the rest of the world regards "professor" as synonymous with the specific rank sometimes known as "full professor" (for instance in the UK, just about 10% of the academics of a university are professors, and the situation is the same in many other European countries). --Bjerrebæk (talk) 09:42, 21 May 2019 (UTC)]
- Comments: I don't know, nor can figure out, what this article title is supposed to convey. It appears what is covered now could be used in "In United States and Canada the word professor is also used in the two lower ranking positions, assistant professor and associate professor.". The highest level terminal degrees would not be seem to be considered the "highest academic rank". A college professor with a "Masters degree" might be senior as well as tenured at that institution but that would not seem to convey the "highest academic rank".
- In the U.S. a professor of the "highest academic rank" would be a senior tenured distinguished/endowed full professor and I would think certainly with a PhD correct? In some other parts of the world hierarchical rankings places the equivalent rank as associate professor (level D or senior principal research fellow and SC-level 4 in Western Australia. A level E (professor) and the equivalent rank of Level 8 (Senior Principal Research Scientist, Western Australia SC-level 5) appears to be lower than a Level 9 (Chief Research Scientist) and SC-level 6 chief, in Western Australia. It seems that in an attempt to "break down" all the academic "ranks", I suppose to create a less unwieldy article (monstrosity), splitting off is required but to do this just to create a title, that is not supported by sources, does not make sense.
- My concerns are 1- Can this "modified title" be used to create an article of substance? I had opened 14 tabs that included six Wikipedia articles and my 12 year old grandson was watching over my shoulder. He offered that from what he saw it seems that the article was not needed so should be deleted or redirected. I asked him where he came up with the terms "redirect" and "deletion" and he stated "it is an option listed above" as an alternative to deletion. WOW! I just thought it amazing that I had an intelligent conversation like this with an seventh grader. I then had to explain that I was trying to decide "if" there was really a subject here.

- Redirect or delete: Per User:Bjerrebæk. The title might be useful on a search so can be redirected to professor that should explain a "full professor" which is actually the main subject just renamed. The "concept" of habilitation, used in some European countries is a post-doctoral qualifications for teaching, and not actually a higher academic ranking so I can see no advantage in keeping this subject as a stand alone article.

- Keep. Article does need some improvement, but mayors of cities the size of Lincoln NE most certainly are acceptable article topics. Mayors of major cities do not have to show as much nationalized coverage as mayors of small towns do — nationalized coverage certainly still wouldn't hurt, but it's not a base condition that big city mayors always have to pass to be considered notable in the first place: that added hurdle applies to small town mayors, but not to mayors of large and significant cities. And while it's true that campaign coverage does not help to establish the permanent notability of an as yet unelected mayoral candidate in and of itself, a person who has jumped the fence from "candidate" to "officeholder" can use the campaign coverage to help expand the article with. And since she was apparently just sworn in as mayor yesterday, it's clear that there will be additional coverage in the future to further improve the article with too. Bearcat (talk) 18:59, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Frankly, I'm surprised this is even a discussion. This is the page for the incumbent Mayor of a state capital with nearly 300,000 residents. I have seen pages for mayors of towns with 10,000 residents that went unchallenged. If this discussion had been raised when she was still a candidate, I might have understood. However, it appears to have been raised instead not only after she was elected, but after she took office. It is so outlandish to me that this page would even be nominated for deletion that I feel tempted to say that it was done in bad faith. Avidohioan (talk) 15:31, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

- Merge-I came across this some month back and found it confusing. It should all be part of Trope (music), as even that page is largely about religious music anyway. The part about the Unity of the Brethren should be moved to Unity of the Brethren--I could add that one subdivision for American Moravians during the communal living era was the "choir"--we do not have a "choir (religion)" article just because they borrowed a musical term for polity-related purposes.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 18:52, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
- Are you suggesting that Cantillation also be merged to Trope (music)? The two seem like quite distinct concepts. Most of the content in the article under discussion relates to Jewish cantillation. Ibadibam (talk) 23:16, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
- The short answer is "no." Long answer: To the best of my knowledge, cantillation is an example of (or at least involves) one of the older forms of trope in music. Trope (music) needs a discussion of cantillation more than cantillation needs a discussion of trope. If there is any novel content in trope (religion) that also needs to be copied over to cantillation, please do that. I did not check for this possibility. But at the same time, Trope (music) also needs a summary of the material. If for some reason it is decided that trope (religion) should be merged to cantillation, someone should still determine that the summary of cantillation on trope (music) is adequate.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 20:48, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - the only reference here is OED, but OED does not mention trope in a religious or musical setting, only as "a figurative or metaphorical use of a word or expression" - covered in the WP:GNG, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list" - Epinoia (talk) 16:51, 11 May 2019 (UTC)]

- Delete. This article is mainly a much shorter substitute for Cantillation (the Jewish use of "trope"). The main Christian use of "trope" is already covered in Trope (music), and I don't understand what the Moravian Church use of "trope" is supposed to mean, but it can be covered in some other appropriate article. Since we already have a disambiguation page at Trope, this article covering three topics inadequately, two of which already have better articles, is not needed. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:42, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

KeepWeak DeleteNom suggests that the x.x.x titles could refer to "thousands of other things", yet these articles run no risk of confusion, as most articles that would link to any version number would instead link to the actual software. These should be the most searched version numbers if they exist on the disambigution page, and if any other version number exists and is relevant, than it could be included on the same page. By wmflabs, the individual version numbers are somewhat frequently searched without a product specification. These pages would serve their purpose to help in these instances.talk) 02:56, 13 May 2019 (UTC)]- While I don't believe in the popular argument to delete (too vague and such), it is still a partial title match.

- Keep. I was correct: there's a significant amount of coverage in print resources, as you'll see if you search WorldCat for
bonanzaville
. Many of the top resources are irrelevant, being publications by Bonanzaville (e.g. a cookbook and some children's texts), and OCLC 807200662 is a printout of Wikipedia articles, but OCLC 124035705 (from a significant publisher in American local history) has enough coverage of Bonanzaville that it appears in the WorldCat record. According to this archival record from NDSU, the Fargo-Moorhead Historic Buildings Survey produced significant documentation on at least one of the buildings on site (this will be a reliable sources with extensive information on the building), and I'd be quite surprised if such a survey missed all the other buildings here. OCLC 38873053 discusses using Bonanzaville's resources in social studies classes; it was written by college students, but as the project was overseen by education faculty and published by their department of education, I'd consider it a reliable source for this topic. And finally, there are two separate graduate theses focusing on Bonanzaville in particular. OCLC 127449324 is a case study of communication at this museum, and OCLC 23350797 focuses on the process of creating and moving the museum.

- The 1st ref from Star has provided exactly one sentence mentioning the project, which does not seem like much to me. Same goes with the CBC article below. The 2nd ref from The Star is an example of why this has nothing more than local notability - the project is a couple's personal campaign to combat climate change, and it gets news value only because of the uniqueness associated with two old people working on a project nobody usually expects from their ilk.

Ravina Project Toronto - Response to Proposal to Delete
Hi there, I am not highly proficient with Wiki editing, but I disagree that the project is not notable. Please note a "local" issue is not considered not-notable, based on the Wiki criteria. And to the extent it is "local" - Toronto is a big and important city - many local Toronto places/events/people get Wiki pages.
It has been covered by the CBC, Toronto Star, & Globe and Mail over many years, some references of which are on the page. The page links to articles from 2007, 2008, 2016 & 2017. There are other articles besides (see below) - but my availability to edit is sporadic and limited. Please feel free to edit the page to add the CBC interview below. You mention only one Globe & Mail article, but what about the two Toronto Star articles referenced, or the Toronto Observer piece? I attend climate conferences regularly in Toronto and heard about the project through those conferences - including on the Toronto Environmental Alliance website. I have never met the people behind the project. If someone hears about the Ravina Project (like I did) they should be able to find out more on Wikipedia. That's why I added it. I hope you'd consider improving the page rather than just tagging for deletion.
One last point - it's not easy to get solar panels in Toronto, even in 2019. I know it is in the USA. I have been trying for years and finally reached out to these folks on Twitter to find out how they did it. But they got panels so long ago their contact was unable to help me. I'm not sure if they were the first residence in Toronto to install solar panels, but they might have been. They remain one of the few, even after all these years. Give the page time.
Here's the list of reasons for deletion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Reasons_for_deletion.
And more about notability:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#Notability_is_not_temporary
I think of all the criteria, notability is the most subjective. If major newspapers covered the project over more than 10 yeas, I'd argue that's dispositive.
There's a reference to a CBC interview here:

- DELETE - WP:GNG The google search (all google, not merely news) generates less than 20 results, the top-ranked of which are of the 'things to do near this place' variety. One of the Star articles merely mentions that they attended a local conference, and the Observer is a local college paper (and FWIW, I don't believe the writer actually interviewed the subjects). The straight-up articles (Globe, Star) are basically the same interview and then there is a second Star article (with a very local flavour — headline begins 'Riverdale couple...') that is pretty much a rewrite of the first Star article. I think that what they're doing is kind of interesting but the coverage is mostly about its novelty and not its significance. I might feel differently if I saw references to this data being utilized. ogenstein (talk) 11:06, 14 May 2019 (UTC)]

I made a small edit to address this concern. The Frasers spoke at the OGRA conference last year, reporting (among other things) that a flat orientation of their panels improved energy generation in the winter, and references to their project in a book.
I did not have time to include all of the above references. Or this one: https://www.gn21.ca/can-older-homes-be-cozy-and-fossil-free. Another speaking event.
Again - Wikipedia is supposed to be a place where you can go to find out what something is. People in Toronto are hearing about the Ravina Project. They should be able to come here to answer the question "What's the Ravina Project?"
It doesn't have to be "notable" in the way Napoleon Bonaparte is notable. Just notable enough that people might hear about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ravina_Project_Toronto

- "Presumed notability" means that substantive sources are expected to be available, but none are to be found here so notability is not actually established. Do you have any evidence this is actually a "populated place" besides a context-free database entry? GEOLAND says "This guideline specifically excludes maps and census tables from consideration when establishing topic notability". Where are the substantive sources still required under "On the other hand, sources that describe the subject instead of simply mentioning it do establish notability."? Reywas92Talk 18:03, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - This is a "populated, legally recognized place", per WP:GEOLAND:
- The US Department of the Interior identifies Hubbard as a populated place.
- The State of Indiana identifies Hubbard on a list of municipalities.
- Several maps at Template:GeoTemplate list Hubbard. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:50, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - ]
- WP:GEOLAND states that "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable". The notability of these places does not need to be established; a consensus of editors have agreed that if these are legally recognized populated places, they are notable enough to merit a Wikipedia article. Hubbard has been listed on US government records as a populated place for the past 40 years, and appears on countless maps. This would be similar to a one-term do-nothing US senator from the 1920s, where a Wikipedia editor may only find one reliable source to support this person's role as a senator. Their Wikipedia biography might be just one line long, but editors have agreed that all US senators (like all populated, legally recognized places) are notable.

- DELETE - 'Presumed' but not guaranteed. It is not an exemption from notability requirements. WP:COMMONSENSE. How does this perfunctory type of page inform readers? That there is a name on a map, but nobody knows or cares what it is? Have a county page that lists the ghost corners and hamlets. Otherwise a reader could endlessly go through the infinite list of 'place names' of Indiana but never actually find anything out about any of them. ogenstein (talk) 04:25, 20 May 2019 (UTC)]
- Where does it say that? Saying these things doesn't make them true. Smartyllama (talk) 14:40, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- Buckle up, it's gonna be a long ride.
- It's right there in the text. From WP:NGEO:
A geographical area, location, place or other object is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are, in the case of artificial features, independent of the bodies which have a vested interest in them.
Per Wikipedia's Five pillars, the encyclopedia also functions as a gazetteer; therefore, geographical features meeting Wikipedia's General notability guideline (GNG) are presumed, but not guaranteed, to be notable. Therefore, the notability of some geographical features (places, roadways, objects, etc.) may be called into question.
- And from WP:COMMONSENSE
Similarly, just because something is not forbidden in a written document, or is even explicitly permitted, doesn't mean it's a good idea in the given situation. Our goal is to improve Wikipedia so that it better informs readers. Being able to articulate "common sense" reasons why a change helps the encyclopedia is good, and editors should not ignore those reasons because they don't include a bunch of policy shortcuts. The principle of the rules—to make Wikipedia and its sister projects thrive—is more important than the letter. Editors must use their best judgment.

- Please also see this reference as well, which deals specifically with small place articles:
- At this point, does this article have any encyclopedic content? It does not. It is merely a database entry from the USGS wrapped in a template. So wikipedia does no service to readers with this page and no reader is better informed. If you were interested in studying the geographical history of St. Joseph's County, this page (which you can't really call an article) actually makes it a worse experience because you would have to go through 38 place names in the county, of which maybe four have more than a sentence. Indiana probably has on the order of 2000 'populated places', and that's one state, in one country. Should someone develop a bot to create all these ghost pages? All of the information on the Hubbard page is already on the Olive Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana page.
- Consider as well, the pages for Terre Coupee and Hamilton. These are apparently the same place, which was originally named Terre Coupee and then renamed to Hamilton. So it is actually misleading to say that Terre Coupee 'is' a place. It 'was' a place between 1828 and 1837. Having these pages creates confusion.
- Please also see this from WP:ARTICLE:
A Wikipedia article or entry is a page on this site that has encyclopedic information on it. A well-written encyclopedia article:
- Please also see this from
- identifies a notable topic,
- summarizes that topic comprehensively,
- is written in an encyclopedic style of language,
- has been well copyedited,
- contains references to reliable sources, and
- contains wikilinks to and is linked to by other articles or article sections about related topics.
- As I see it, this page meets the first requirement but none of the others.
- Please also see this from WP:MISTAKES:
Articles which are too short to have encyclopedic value. Articles must establish the context and notability of the subject. If an article does not contain enough content to keep it from being classified as a mere stub, then it may qualify for speedy deletion.
- Please also see this from
- Please also see this from WP:STUB:
A stub is an article that, although providing some useful information, is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject, and that is capable of expansion.
- Please also see this from
- And then this:
If a stub has little verifiable information, or if its subject has no apparent notability, it may be deleted or be merged into another relevant article.
- And then this:
- And finally, what does WP:NOTABILITYhave to tell us:
This is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page.
- And finally, what does
- And if we look at it from the other perspective, what does WP:GEOLANDsay? Only this: "typically presumed to be notable". And note that NGEO encompasses GEOLAND and addresses this directly.
- And if we look at it from the other perspective, what does
- That does not exempt these pages from every other guideline in wikipedia. I think it means that a subject is eligible for a page despite lacking significance relative to others. Does it exempt editors from having to think or exercise judgement? I don't think any guideline does that. I feel it is being used as a silver bullet.
- Afterword: I should add that I did spend hours trying to find something about this 'place' referred to as Hubbard. I did find some interesting pages that cover a range of years and provide the names of many people and places but no place called Hubbard, so even people who knew the area and were interested in preserving its history had nothing to say. Thanks for hearing me out.
- Keep Wikipedia is a gazetteer and unincorporated communities are considered notable. I added a citation to the article: Hubbard Topo Map in St. Joseph IN-thank youRFD (talk) 15:19, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - I have expanded the article to show that Hubbard was a station on the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad. The settlement was probably named for the Hubbard's of the Haven Hubbard Home, early setters in Olive Township who owned a large tract of land to the northwest. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:37, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- Can you please clarify which page this station reference is on? From what I can see on the CSS timetable, there were stops at New Carlisle and Olive (to the west) and Warren (to the east). I don't see any stops between. Hopefully I didn't miss something obvious. Nice find.
- And as regards your comments on the Hubbards of the area, I agree that there was a prominent family in the township but as you point out, known connections are distant from the designated coordinates and if their buildings were noteworthy and easily found then surely a named community would be as well. I did searches for names (initially R Hubbard, and then Ransom Hubbard, based upon seeing the name in a result in a google books clipping from 'A History of St. Joseph County, Indiana', and then Jonathan Hubbard who was apparently the first to settle in the area and lived in Terre Coupee around when it became Hamilton) but came up dry.
- I should add that this is making for an odd way to spend Victoria Day but thinking about the Hubbards of the township got me thinking some more and I went back to google books to look at the snippet of the history book. There was a tantalizing fragment of text saying, "The existence of this old town is so completely obliterated that Judge Hubbard, who was born on Terre Coupee prairie, doubts whether any one on the prairie can point out its site." I couldn't help but wonder if there was a connection. Well, there wasn't, but it turns out that the book is in the public domain, having been written in 1908 and so I was able to see that the reference was for a different place. I think it could be a good resource for many of these northern Indiana stubs, and within the text, it suggests that there may be similar books about nearby counties and townships as well. That said, while it discusses three generations of Hubbards, it does not mention a location with such a name, so I'm still a 'delete'. For those interested, here is the link I found:

Phoronix
I don't think this meets Wikipedia's guidelines for web site notability. The article is pretty much completely based on Phoronix itself as a source and can't find a way to fix it. The site, particularly the benchmarks, have been cited by mainstream media but I don't find anything substantial written about the site itself. I tried this Google search to find stuff about Phoronix that is not in Phoronix itself and that is not about the test suite (which has a separate article). I didn't see anything that would be of interest what it comes to writing a Wikipedia article. There is also not much of organization behind the site and it seems to be more or less an one-man show. ilmaisin (talk) 12:16, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
