- Weak Keep - Going to err on the side of a weak keep for the time being. It's a big franchise. I'm searching for sources now, and while I haven't found a whole lot of solid in depth coverage, the intense amount of lesser coverage combined with the size of the company makes me feel pretty confident the sources exist. I'll take another look tomorrow. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:07, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- I couldn't find any. Remember, sources have to provide non-notable credit union centrals like Central 1 Credit Union and Concentra Bank that, together, have more than $100 billion in assets under management. You should also try and avoid !voting without having found sufficient sources. Recommend changing that to a Comment. Doug Mehus (talk) 05:53, 26 October 2019 (UTC)]

- Keep - There is a lot of routine coverage about stores opening or closing in specific locations so it can be difficult to pick out the coverage. Here are some. Coverage about international expansion. Their partnership with a pot grower to get into the cannabis business. Their expansion into parts of India. The customer backlash in Australia over one of their menu offerings. Growth in a local market. As an example in a book about franchising. That is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to meet ]

- Tyw7 True. It was mentioned only once during the visit of Obama in the Philippines during a talk in a Climate Change discussion and that's all. I checked how it works and I even found out the saltwater acts as the electrolyte and not as the power source. I'm not really good with electronics though so I do not really understand how the mere presence of saltwater in the lamp makes it a saltwater lamp.

- I'm looking at this AfD and I'm curious to hear how Tyw7 justifies seeing a "particular bias" in the sources just because they're from the Philippines or from Asia. Given the global nature of the English Wikipedia, how is it that a U.S. or UK source is automatically presumed to be "less biased" or "more reliable" than a Philippine or Asian source, just because it happens to be a source the commenter is more intimately familiar with. --Sky Harbor (talk) 00:29, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

- By whose standards are you determining if something is "small" and "not significant"? We have Wikipedia articles for events, places and things in the UK that, on the whole, are less significant but exist because those sources are automatically presumed to be "reliable". So just because this happened in the Philippines, we're automatically presuming that this is isn't significant just because local media is the only one covering it? --Sky Harbor (talk) 17:54, 29 October 2019 (UTC)]

- Keep - For now. Language barrier, so the AfD process needs to be proper - we cannot claim they fail GNG without searching Persian/Arabic. The article has a translation, which seems right, but it brings up 3,890,000 results - even adding Esteghlal's translated name yields 2,500,000 results. More than likely they aren't all about this person but we shouldn't assume. NFOOTY passed, though that needs verifying. A quick search with the supposed translation brings up [1] which suggests (difficult to know for sure, could be a different player... which would prove the language barrier.) he spent time in prison, making more sources likely. ]

- Delete. Being producer of a radio show is not an automatic notability freebie that exempts a person from having to clear WP:GNG on the sourcing — but the references here are an alumni profile on the self-published website of her own alma mater and a staff profile on the website of her employer, which means they aren't independent or notability-supporting sources. She has to be the subject (not the author) of media coverage about her to clear GNG, but that's not what these sources are. To be fair, I'll note that I literally woke up this very morning to Manjula Selvarajah guest-hosting the weekend morning program on my local CBC station, but even having been heard as a listener-facing radio host is still not a notability freebie in the absence of reliable source coverage about her (although it probably does explain why this article suddenly happened yesterday.) I will also note that even Nana aba Duncan, the regular host Selvarajah was subbing for, doesn't have a Wikipedia article yet either, because Duncan has also not yet been the subject of enough reliable source media coverage about her to clear the GNG bar.

- Delete. Notwithstanding what we should do with various fictional planet lists, or the planets in science fiction primary article, this list is pretty ill-conceived. For one thing, open-ended lists like this are rarely a good idea because they're maintenance nightmares that can't be complete and lead to either acrimonious arguments on inclusion criteria or else just fantastic amounts of bloat. But more concerning here is that we don't categorize content by medium like this. How could we? Doctor Who is a TV franchise first, I suppose, but also sports a series of books and radio programs. Warcraft? A video game, but also a movie (as much as I guess Blizzard would prefer we overlooked it...). And so forth. This thing dates back to 2006, and the project had very different ideas about lists and list inclusion then. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:14, 25 October 2019 (UTC)]

- Delete It's misleading, as most sources use "East Coast-style" to describe bagels associated with, primarily, Jewish bakeries in New York and elsewhere in the eastern United States, and the nostalgia that goes along with those, not to a particular combination of sourdough and boiling with honey employed by one bakery in Halifax. Outside of publicity and trivial local coverage for that bakery and sources that appear to be cribbing their definitions from here, there's nearly no coverage of this term in association with bagels of the sort described by the article.

Dual selective merge toNew York-style bagel and Montreal-style bagel by adding the following sentence or two (modified from the article page in question) to describe the nuanced differences in the Canadian East Coast-style bagel, "a variant of the New York-style bagel and Montreal-style bagel exists on the Canadian East Coast except that it is made with sourdough that uses locally sourced wild yeasts.[1] This Canadian East Coast-style bagel is not as chewy and fluffy, nor as salty as the New York-style bagel, and is less dense, doughy and sweet than a Montreal-style bagel.[2][3][4]," and then redirect East Coast-style bagel to either of the two pages (one with higher page views, potentially) or to a dab page.

Smerge toList of named devils in Dungeons & Dragons or else Delete. While I'm fairly willing to go to bat for the deity list as being relevant (with religion in the game being a topic that has attracted out-of-universe attention), I'm ... less convinced that the obvious merge target here is one that's going to be around for the long term. Essentially, if consensus is that the target list is just going to be the next thing listed for deletion, there's little motivation to kick this can down the road. If there's some reason for optimism (I know that lists of characters in fictional settings don't have a well-defined notability demarcation at the moment), then it's appropriate to do a pared-down merge, redirect, and call it a day.

A non-published, undergrad thesis is not a WP:RSstatus if it is a doctoral thesis--and even then only under certain very specific circumstances and with significant caveats and restrictions. Furthermore, even if you did have a genuine thesis here, it would need to do more than incidentally mention the topic: you need in-depth discussion of the article's topic in order for a source to function in support of notability. Lastly, even if this was doctoral thesis, and it was published, and it did discuss the topic at length, as a thesis it would be incapable of carrying a determination of notability on its own weight: you'd still need other secondary, reliable, independent sources.

It's well past time the community made it clear to D&D aficionados that this project is not going to serve as database/back-up (or even extended summary) for the content of the game's own commercial lore books: anyone wishing to engage in such efforts should take them to Wikia or any of the other numerous free and fan-friendly platforms that embrace such archiving of such indiscriminate and exhaustive lore projects.

The current state of sourcing just makes it hard to recognize what's what. All of it is more the result of age than ill-intention; much of this was begun before 2010, and in the project's early days, things like WAF were far less codified. That said, this article? Probably not anything to save. But more broadly, I sure wouldn't object to the AFD regulars giving a (brief!) pause from the D&D nominations while I help get things better organized over there.

- Well I for one will express my gratitude for your hard work on the matter: I've been saying for years that we really need to put together a serious task force to address this issue holistically, rather than the piece-meal manner in which we have to date. If you should ever raise the issue in a community space, please feel encouraged to ping me to the discussion. My own take on the question of how of the articles may be salvaged is that it will probably end up being a very small fraction of the non-notable articles that exist in the subject area at present. Certainly there are certain creatures which came about exclusively as a consequence of the game and its associated franchises and which have achieved a degree of pop culture permeation that extends beyond super fans of the game itself: creatures like the 'Beholder' and 'Mind Flayer' which (for whateve reason) have become popular enough to be discussed in at least a handful of independent reliable sources. But I'm going to guess that these are the extreme rarity--though of course every article will have to be evaluated independently in that regard.

Those articles mostly have no more truly reliable sources than does this one (which is to say, absolutely zero) and they almost always run afoul of some combination of WP:VPPdiscussion on this matter: just look at how much effort was needed when the community decided to clean up just a few fancrufty areas of pro wrestling articles--and those articles were/are nowhere near as bad, undersourced, or bloated as this area is.

And while we will have to keep an open mind for each and every AfD determination, I'll frankly be gobsmacked if it turns out that more than one in a hundred of the thousands of current D&D articles on en.Wikipedia turns out to be compliant with our policies or even can be salvaged with additional sources.

- Delete. Rajbiraj is not large enough to hand an automatic notability freebie to its mayors just because they exist, but this is not written or sourced anywhere near well enough to actually get him over the bar. The actual notability test for mayors is the ability to write and source a genuinely substantive article about their political significance (specific things they did in the mayor's chair, specific projects they spearheaded, etc.), not just the ability to show a handful of the routinely expected local campaign coverage to verify that he exists, and this isn't passing that test.

- It sounds like you are saying that there are no more sources available? That would agree with what I found, or rather didn't find, when I searched for other sources before nominating. The problem is that if there are no reliable sources, there can't be a Wikipedia article. This is the guidelines for actors, and she does not meet that either, since she has not yet had "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". --bonadea contributions talk 13:20, 25 October 2019 (UTC)]

- That might be a good solution but for two reasons: first, there are many thousands of actors who will never actually become notable enough for an encyclopedia, and nothing in the article indicates that this person is an exception. That doesn't mean she won't be, but it would be a bit like creating a draft about a new company just in case it will become notable in the future. Second, the essay you reference (which is neither policy nor a guideline, and which is actually about events rather than people) mentions the "tediousness" of writing a new article – but that would have to be done anyway, since the present article doesn't actually contain anything that would be included in an article about a notable person!

- Three sources to say he got $300 to attend a conference? Hardly the stuff that belongs in an encyclopedia. And the sources, His name appears on a list in the first. No mention in the other two.
- Two sources that tell us that a bank collapsed. No mention of him. They do not verify the claim about him.
- A link to a home page to say he was a board member. No mention of him.
This all comes down to being the writer and director of Offside, a film of questionable notability (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Offside (2009 film)). Even that section is bombarded with the same source repeated multiple time, each time with a fake title. Without that film there is no notability. Even with it it currently falls short of NFILMMAKER as that film lacks "significant critical attention". duffbeerforme (talk) 03:41, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

An impressive 8 citations backing up one aspect of the plot of the movie! No. 8 sources dumped in that verify Australia's participation in the World Cup, that don't mention the film, that predate the film. Pure padding, puff.
- "The end scenes were shot at Joe’s Kiosk, Henley Beach, which has since become a famous meeting place,[36] for South Australian politicians.[37]"
Once again no mention of Offside. Pure padding, puff. How about
- "Music by Ikochi, Fighterpilot, Laura Hill,[38] King Daddy, Pornland, Tracer,[39] Fireballs, Matthew Salleh, Maeder, M Williams, Andrew 'Pange' Niemoeller, The Huckleberry Swedes, Sonic Monkey,[40] and The Secret Game.[41]
No. [24] None of those articles mention Offside.
7 diferent articles in FilmInk? No. It's the one PR piece deceptively presented as seven, each time given a fake title. Same with the 7 from db Mag.
