Comment Chérubin, initially a popular opera, was one that gradually slipped into obscurity. It was this recording that brought it back from the dead. Chérubin is now available on DVD, and has once again become familiar internationally. A premiere recording of a work by a composer as eminent as Massenet is notable ipso facto.Niggle1892 (talk) 02:39, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And no, people are also not notable just because you can provide transcripts of their own speeches, or video clips of them talking on the news — a person does not become notable by doing the speaking in a source, they become notable by being the thing that other people are speaking about. So no, none of these sources are sufficient at all, and the article doesn't indicate that he's done anything "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better sources than this.

So you're claiming that everyone who played in a short-lived, now defunct, roller hockey league is automatically notable? Do you have any evidence this was the highest level of pro roller hockey in the world? I can see high school football players on primetime TV but that doesn't make them all notable. And they're pro in the sense of making money, not in earning a living. Some organizations/sports differentiate. Papaursa (talk) 22:36, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was No consensus. Initially, the discussion tended towards deletion, but following considerable editing, it is now evident that the bio subject's counterfeiting crime has had more than passing mention by independent, reliable sources. Beyond that, however, there is little else to make the case for notability and the BLP1E concerns expressed by others prevent a clear-cut consensus.  JGHowes  talk 04:39, 6 October 2019 (UTC)‎[reply]

  • Comment Hello @
    WP:GNG
    states that:
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.
Any reliable sources with non trivial coverage that are independent do contribute towards establishing GNG, even if they are not included in the article at this time. As I said above a google search reveals plenty of reliable sources that do fit that criteria, for example from news like:
-Who's really behind Toronto's chain of illegal pot shops that won't quit? extensive coverage
-CBC News program coverage form minute 1:30 - 2:23 labels him as a legendary counterfeiter
-Counterfeiting: Notes on a scandal one sentence about how he crippled Canada's $100 bill by using techniques he found on websites
-The worlds most notorious counterfeiters who made a fortune page 6 and 7
-Cannabis Canada: Is a white knight for CannTrust in 'everyone’s interest'? labels him "one of the country’s most prominent counterfeiters."
Books besides the one currently used as a reference in the article:
-The end of money More than a page on Weber
-Workplace Privacy: Proceedings of the New York University 58th Annual Conference on Labor a paragraph on Weber
Besides this, he was even featured in the 59th episode of the tv show Masterminds: titled Money Maker it can be watched here (the person appearing and talking as Weber is an actor, not the subject himself)
the show, as well as many reliable sources, label him as the most notorious counterfeiter. There are also international reliable sources in other languages like the one included in the article and this one from Spain: Grandes falsificadores. Also 25 hits in Google Scholar: see here
To me, the subject clearly meets our GNG. I agree that the article can and should be improved, but as I said before Deletion is not cleanup. It is not my area of interest, but I think the subject is notable enough to be in our encyclopedia, so I will try to improve it once this AfD ends. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:53, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
GNG is not just automatically passed by everybody who can show an arbitrary number of media hits; for instance, notability is not demonstrated by one-line mentons of his name in sources about something else, image galleries, IMDb, DailyMotion or YouTube content. Sure, we take the number of hits under advisement, but that's not the only thing we take into account: we also consider the reliability of the sources, the depth of how substantively any given source is or isn't about him, the geographic range of where the coverage is coming from, and the context of what he's getting covered for. Not all possible sources are created equal, and not all possible sources contribute +1 to a person's GNG tally — some sources are better than others, and some sources fail to count as GNG support at all. There are people in the world who can show twice as many sources as that but still not be notable, if their sourcing still fails any of the range, depth or context tests. Bearcat (talk) 21:12, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not an arbitrary number of hits, just in depth coverage by multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. Did you review the sources I posted? please let me know if you think any of this three books does not contribute towards establishing notability: [7], The end of money, Workplace Privacy: Proceedings of the New York University 58th Annual Conference on Labor. do you think that this article with extensive coverage is a one line mention? do you think that the
WP:WHATABOUTX and the opposite argument (also not valid) could be easily made by looking at the subjects included in Category:American_counterfeiters. Please do review the sources. GNG is clearly met. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 13:14, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

LoveMoney is the image gallery, and is not a
reliable source in the first place — so LoveMoney counts for nothing no matter how many times you hammer on it. Book the first is simply a reprint in a compilation of previously published content of one of the articles you've already brought to bear, so is not a new data point that increases his notability score by +1. "The End of Money" just links to a directory entry for the book itself, failing to verify that Weber is actually the subject of any content in it — he might be, sure, but I can't assess whether it constitutes substantive content or not since the link you've shown fails to prove that there's any content at all. "Workplace Privacy" is just a transcript of a conference, not a notability-building piece of written work. Being the subject of an episode of a TV series is not a notability claim in and of itself; such sources go toward notability only if the actual content of the episode is used to support content about Weber as a person, and not if they're being used solely to metaverify their own existence as TV episodes. And on and so forth. Bearcat (talk) 18:00, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

LoveMoney meets
WP:RS is a financial news publication subject to editorial control as you can see here: About us - meet the lovemoney team their publications have been used as references in at least 14 other Wikipedia articles. The images in the article titled the world's most notorious counterfiters who made a fortune are the least relevant part of the content. What is clearly in-depth coverage is the two pages about Weber (page 6 and 7). A book reprinting previously printed content is clearly RS and if you do read both the article and the book you will see that they are not by any means the same. they just talk about the same subject but each provide unique information. Clearly one is not a reprint of the other. The end of money is a link to google books where you can read a bit more than one page about the subject. Please try again to access it through the link in my previous comment or the reference in the article. The description of the book by Kluwer Law International is a "collection of essays by outstanding scholars and practitioners in U.S. labour law and practice" why does it not meet RS? The TV episode obviously has in depth coverage of the subject that can be used to source content of the article. I am still improving the article, so I will also be able to use it as a reference. Are the references from Spain or Indonesia or the article from CBC news not RS? I feel that they also meet the requirements for GNG. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:53, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

Thank you. The current version is better, but it is still essentially entirely focused on a single crime. For a BLP bio article, there would need to be at least a modest amount of non-negative biographical information, such as family background, early life, education or something similar. Or, if the main claim to fame here is the counterfeiting of the $100 bill episode, it may be better to create an article specifically about that event/crime instead of a bio article about Weber. Nsk92 (talk) 14:28, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am planing on adding an early life section next, also a section to expand on the counterfeiting (reducing the lead), and another to cover his other activities, trading activities and Marihuana cafes owner/activist. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 14:39, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete i too agree with
    WP:GNG as there is not much notable resources available online, the individual's activities can figure prominently in the section of the act for which he is known for, in this case counterfeit; but to create a bio based on one topic, with not enough supporting online source available is a bit tall ask.

Comment. With the improved sourcing on the counterfeit topic, and the removal of some blp concerning content, and the addition of his coverage by the cbc in cannabis advocacy (although running illegal cannabis stores is also criminal however you spin it), I have decided to withdraw my delete nomination. However, I am not certain if the articles really demonstrates

signidicant coverage as he is not the main subject of the articles. I want to hear more from some other contributors on this issue. I am on the fence.4meter4 (talk) 01:44, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

Hello
WP:OR. The guideline expressly clarifies that being the main subject of the articles is not a requirement. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:26, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

Comment. i still have issues like how being a computer nerd or buying cars are added as these are just trivia, also in marijuana advocacy how is his wife owning property matters for a bio, as per

WP:BLP1E
that states 1. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event. 2. If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article. as such my vote for delete stays. its better to include the individual's activities in the section of the act for which he is known for, in this case counterfeit; but to create a bio is still doubtful.
Joydeep ghosh (talk) 18:52, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The abilities of the subject with computers and the fact that he called himself a computer nerd was found notable enough to be included in multiple reliable sources, it introduces his ability to be able to perform the complicated task of counterfeiting one of the most secured bills at the time. The luxury is also covered by at least three of the sources and is another important part of a chapter of the biography as they were purchased with the profits from the counterfeiting. The relationship of his wife with the chain of cannabis stores is also covered by a reliable source and helps establish his own relation with the business.
I fully disagree with your analysis of this article with regards to
WP:BLP1E
. Point 1 is not met as the subject has received non trivial coverage by multiple reliable sources in relation to various individual events; Counterfeiting, Marijuana, and trading. Point 2 is also not met, as coverage has been persistent in time. the article now includes references from 2006, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018 and various from 2019.
I ask you to please review
WP:BLP1E
again, because even if the first two would have been met, which is not the case, it clearly states that all three conditions must be met ("We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met:") Bold mine. the third one is:
3. If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant and his role was both substantial and well documented.
According to this point alone inclusion criteria is clearly met, as the event is clearly significant since it affected more than ten percent of retailers in Canada and prompted the creation of a new 100 dollar bill and clearly his role as mastermind was both substantial and very well documented.
On top of that I think I have shown that the requirement of having received in-depth coverage from multiple independent and reliable sources outlined in our
WP:ISNOT after my extensive rewrite, I don't think that we can recommend deletion based on our policies. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:17, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment. To those arguing
    WP:BLP1E, I don't think this argument can be made on the first criteria. The subject has been covered in the context of two different events: counterfeiting and later his work within the cannabis industry. That said, I do think both the 2nd and 3rd critera for that rationale are accurate which is why I am on the fence.4meter4 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

I am not convinced that either event in which he was involved is that significant. I would be much more likely to support the article if one of the events he was involved with satisfied wikipedia's notability guidelines for

Hello @
events
. The first mentions enduring historical significance and lasting effect. It had clearly rippling effects. The History channel made a documentary about the subject and the event. Between 10 and 19 percent of all retailers stopped accepting the 100 dolar bill in the whole country and many continued not accepting them even after he was caught. Countries like the US and others were also affected. Canada changed its currency to incorporate new security features. the event has been used as a case study on various papers and cited by multiple books. Depth of coverage is clearly met, enduring of coverage also (article now includes references from 2006, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018 and various from 2019) and diversity of sources is also met Geographically it has received coverage at national level in Canada and from various other countries as far as Indonesia.
But also finally
WP:BLP1E does not apply to subjects who have been covered in the context of more than one event as it specifically states that each and not some of the 3 points must be met. Would you agree with me that BLP1E can not be applied here? --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 07:07, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

I think I've already been clear, and I am avoiding being explicit on purpose until I make up my mind. Ultimately, it gets down to a question of failing
WP:SIGCOV or not which is evaluating where "Wesley Weber" himself was actually the primary coverage of the sources, or whether the events/businesses were the main subject and Wesley Weber was just tangentially a part of those events. It's somewhat subjective, and in this case I could see an argument being made either way.4meter4 (talk) 19:58, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply
]
All the content of the article is sourced by reliable sources that directly mention the subject. He was the "mastermind" of the counterfeiting and the subject of the trading and marijuana sections. Let me insist that
WP:SIGCOV
explicitly states that
"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material."
Bold mine. So even if you could argue that he was not main subject of the sources (with which I disagree), that is clearly excluded as a valid reason in the current wording of the policy (in bold) as long as there is more than trivial mentions by multiple reliable sources so that no ]
  • Keep and trim since I was asked. His counterfeiting is notable. Most of the rest is trivial fluff.
I have noticed that many bios of people in either cryptocurrency or cannabis or some genres of music or self-help or professional speakers or life coaches seem to be very willing to acknowledge their earlier misdeeds, as if it in some way validates their later accomplishments It for many centuries has been customary for religious figures to emphasise their sinful earlier life to emphasise the power of their salvation. . G10 does not apply here--the intent of many such bios is self-advertising. DGG ( talk ) 05:26, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @DGG: I agree with you about not meeting G10 but disagree with the comparison with other bios which could imply that the current version of the article is self-advertising. I stumbled on this article while patrolling for new changes and reverted multiple IP's that were "trimming" sourced information, it seemed strange, so I added it to my watchlist. Then a new user with very few edits opened this AfD, that to me is suspicious. Because of this AfD I found myself forced to improve the article. As you can see by the comments of the relisting admin, If I hadn't done so it would have been deleted. The article has been completely overhauled, so I am responsible for most of its content, and it was me that created those sections. I highly doubt that the subject would be interested in keeping them for the reasons you pointed out, probably the opposite, As you can see in the link to his webpage included in the infobox, he continues to offer cryptocurrency services, something that various independent reliable sources found notable that he did without a license. So I think it is clearly not promotional. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 07:57, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This page serves the same purpose as the IAU Planet Planet Definition wikipedia page. Also, this page DOES serve a purpose in that it clearly articulates the definition that many planetary scientists use. — Preceding

  • Keep this article. I strongly disagree with the statement that "This page serves no purpose that is not already covered in Planet." There is disagreement in the planetary science and astronomy communities about the definition of a planet. The IAU voted in 2006 for a particular definition but the vote was split and geoscientists have continued to argue for a different definition than the one the IAU voted for. It is important for readers of Wikipedia to have information about this alternative definition. Planetary scientists have continued using this geophysical definition at odds with the IAU definition. It is not a fringe definition but is actually mainstream among a large segment of the planetary science community and is the historic definition that has existed since Galileo. The modern uses of this geophysical definition are in published papers in science journals. There was a recent paper arguing that the IAU definition was based upon arguments that are now shown to be historically incorrect in the scientific literature (Metzger, Philip T., Mark V. Sykes, Alan Stern, and Kirby Runyon. "The reclassification of asteroids from planets to non-planets." Icarus 319 (2019): 21-32.). A recent debate occurred between a leading planetary scientist and the astronomer who was president of the IAU leading up to its vote, and the IAU past president stated that planetary scientists could developed other definitions than the one the IAU created (https://vimeo.com/333420664). This is that alternative definition, but it is not new because it is the prevailing definition that existed historically and is still the only once consistent with scientific usage among geoscientists. Therefore it is important for readers of Wikipedia to know about it. There is also, already, a Wikipedia article on the IAU definition of planet which is separate from the article on Planet, and therefore it is important for readers of Wikipedia to have access to information about the definition of Planet that planetary scientists are using and debating about in contrast to this IAU definition. This is especially important since the geophysical definition is the historic definition that has been used since Galileo. Galileo effectively replaced the previous dynamical definition that existed since pre-scientific times. The discussions about definitions is a taxonomical matter that is distinct from the content of the Planet article, because that article is dealing with planets themselves as objects, not with taxonomy. Taxonomy of planets is a different thing than planets themselves. This is exactly why the IAU definition of planet article exists in addition to the Planet article, because the definition is a taxonomical question and that is a thing distinct from the planets themselves. However, including just the IAU definition in this taxonomical information is incomplete because it leaves out the historic and still prominent geophysical definition as a taxonomical system, and this omission does not serve the readers of Wikipedia.Sanddune777 (talk) 04:29, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not merge into Definition of planet unless IAU definition of planet is also merged. It is notable because there are recent news articles and scientific papers on it. Instead, this article should be kept separate and expanded because there is a large amount of material that should be added including the wealth of references both historic and recent. I will begin adding this material immediately, so please hold judgement until you see this material. A paragraph should be added to Definition of planet with a link to this as the main article. This is exactly how IAU definition of planet was handled, as a separate article with a paragraph in Definition of planet and a link back to the main article. Including all the new material in Definition of planet would overwhelm it, exactly as including all the material from IAU definition of planet would have overwhelmed it.Sanddune777 (talk) 04:29, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The Geophysical Planet Definition page should not be deleted, as it does NOT serve the same function as the IAU planet definition page. The IAU planet definition page presents just one view of an ongoing debate regarding definition of the word planet. The IAU planet definition was adopted by just four percent of its members, most of whom are not planetary scientists, and was rejected by an equal number of planetary scientists in a formal petition. Unfortunately, the mainstream media reported only the IAU decision and completely ignored the strong scientific opposition to it in the planetary science community. This one-sided reporting is a genuine disservice to the public. The reality is there is no consensus among the broader scientific community as to how to define the term planet, and many planetary scientists rightfully object to the notion of science being done by decree of "authority."
  • Many planetary scientists see the IAU definition as flawed for numerous reasons, primarily the fact that it gives primacy to an object's location over its intrinsic properties. The New Horizons mission found active geological and atmospheric planetary processes on Pluto that are very similar to those that occur on Earth and Mars. Yet the IAU definition ignores this data and defines Pluto and other dwarf planets solely by their location. It also controversially claims dwarf planets are not planets at all, which runs contrary to the intent of the scientist who initially coined the term, Alan Stern, and is not borne out by the New Horizons findings. Planetary scientists who prefer the geophysical planet definition hold that dwarf planets are a subclass of planets, just as dwarf stars are a subclass of stars, and dwarf galaxies are a subclass of galaxies.
  • Keeping this page rather than folding it into a general planet definition page will provide awareness to readers that there is more than one legitimate, scientific planet definition in use by scientists today. It is an important step toward providing fair and balanced coverage of this ongoing debate.Princesslaurel (talk) 17:51, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note - I will admit that despite preliminary research, did not realize that there are apparently 'dueling' definitions, to a certain extent, or that there was an article for the IAU definition. I really thought this was just definition page. Based upon what I have been told, the page should be kept and moved to
    Geophysical planet definition and otherwise I have no prejudice against keeping this article. I'm essentially withdrawing but since there is discussion I'll let someone uninvolved close. Plus, I always break things when I close AfDs. Thanks ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 13:42, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

  • WP:FRINGE. Basically someone is campaigning. Admittedly, there are many people unhappy about the IAU (change of) definition, but the "geophysical" one is worse (how many planets, did you say?). You were right to question the article and I hope that if it stays that it is appropriately caveated and not presented as some sort of equally-valid-alternative to the eight-planet version. Lithopsian (talk) 14:49, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • Which is why I suggested merging this article into a section of planet (and rewriting planet to be less focused on the IAU definition). Having looked at IAU planet definition, it is more about the controversy and process by which the IAU arrived at a definition for planets than about planets as defined by the IAU. We could possibly build a similar article to the one on the IAU definition, but I don't think that the geophysicists have had nearly as much controversy as the astronomers.

It is my understanding that being a local councilor is not, by itself, sufficient to warrant an article. Until very recently, there seems to be no substantial coverage of him, beyond a standard brief profile related to an election. There's obviously a bunch of recent coverage, but this is more of a single local news story.

  • Keep. We've had this debate before, and Ottawa city councillors have passed the notability test. -- Earl Andrew - talk 20:38, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As per Earl Andrew, a city councillor of a major city meets notability requirements. Jiffles1 (talk) 21:21, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article does need improvement, but city councillors in global cities are accepted as being inherently more notable than usual for most city councillors because of their city's more globalized level of importance, and consensus has always accepted Ottawa as one of the cities that practice applies to. (See also: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC, London, etc.) If you'd like to shoot for a new consensus that Ottawa should be removed from that list, then you're certainly allowed to try — there have been other cities where we used to accept city councillors as notable, and then withdrew that status later on — but you would need to do that by proposing a centralized discussion on a Wikipedia discussion board about whether Ottawa should retain its "city councillors are notable" status, not by proposing that one city councillor be treated differently than others while the existing consensus otherwise still stands. And until such time as a new consensus is established to deprecate Ottawa's status as a "city councillors are notable" city, the existing consensus still applies in the interim.

  • The idea that because this is a payment system, and is always discussed as a payment system, it should therefore be merged to payment system really does not hold any water. Everything is a part of something else. If we followed that principle we would merge all articles to Big Bang which would then read something like "there was a Big Bang which eventually led to things like the Roman Empire, uranium, and chickens."
  • Interestingly, the payment system that net settlement is invariably compared to is real-time gross settlement. That article shows what this one could become with a bit of work.
  • The criticism "not even wrong" implies that it can't be falsifiable, which is clearly false, and in any case, is not a valid deletion rationale. We have plenty of articles on things that are not falsifiable – Occam's razor for instance.
  • "obscure, ordinary glossary term". Andrew has already adequately answered the glossary part of that (this article is not just a definition of a term). "Obscure" and "ordinary" are not policy-based reasons for deletion, and I'm pretty sure that the term is far from obscure in banking circles. In any case, Wikipedia is not just for articles on stuff everybody already knows.

Not notable enough for an article and reads like a fan page on wikia.

This character was an original creation for the 1991 film so not spanning multiple media, and the character was completely remade with a different backstory for the 2015 remake, so there's not even consistent characterization between the two, just the name and the role of protagonist in the film called Point Break.

The article is not written to a Wikipedia standard and half of it is just the plot of the 1991 film. The rest of the content, while cited, are just as much about the pop culture legacy of the 1991 film (or Reeves himself) than they are about the character and all of this content could just as easily be expected to be found on those two pages.

  • Move back to Draft (maybe even move on top of Johhy Utah, and then move to Draftspace--(character) is an unnecessary disambiguation at this point. I'm curious as to why the redirect wasn't just converted...)  Anyway, on top of the move, the aformentioned redirect would be good in the meantime with the Rcat with possibilities used to point to the Draft. This article is actually less than a month old, so I'm inclined to give time for proper adjustments in the draftspace, if they can be made... Although that was already done once here. Is there a way to lock it from Moves until a review is done?
    @JesseRafe: Thank you SO much for actually taking time to put a coherent argument when proposing this as opposed to just throwing out "not notable" with no additional explanation. It helps others to have context and places less unnecessary burden on reviewers. THANK YOU! -2pou (talk) 19:27, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(2) which says the same stuff.

Of the current sources, the first one is a self-published book, which was later republished by a followers'-trustee of Meher Baba. Not a RS. The second one is yet another booklet published by a foreign wing of a followers'-trustee of Meher Baba. Not a RS. The third one is a glossary from a website of the trustee. Not a RS. (Somehow, the de-prod-er felt all of these to be reliable sources, which lend to the notability of the subject.*Sigh*)

Doing a news-search in English leads to about 5 hits, all of which are trivial mentions except this; regrettably AsianTribune has a highly chequered history including being successfully sued for partisan journalism in lieu of money. No book, produced out of a independent and respected publication house, has covered it any significantly either.

Doing a Google search as to the Hindi/Marathi word:- मेहेराझाद returns nothing significant and dispels the potential existence of good sources in vernacular media.

National Digital Library of India (which's a great tool to exploit againt systemic bias) has no hit, either. Archive.org has a lone hit from an in-house journal, devoted to Meher Baba!

Thus, it may be concluded with enough rigor, that the subject comfortable fails

The professor in this category doesn't fit the requirements for Wikipedia's professor test.

    WP:PROF#C1.I agree with user David Eppstein on the fact that the absence of other professors' wiki pages isn't a valid reason to remove this one. However, I disagree with the threshold for WP:PROF#C1 as mentioned by User David Eppstien. This metric of only over 100 citations, as mentioned by you, is satisfied by a myriad number of professors in the field of combustion, esp. fire protection. The significance of the highly cited work lies in the co-author GM Faeth, whose articles are sought after. Combining the fact that Wikipedia pages give credible information about the professor and having merely triple digit citations doesn't provide the reader with any salient talking points about having this page. Pages like Google Scholar are used for that purpose, not a Wikipedia page. Hence I propose to have this page removed at the earlierst. LumosFlame (talk) 05:42, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep: While this page needs to be pruned to remove items not directly related to the operation or background of the Council, folks need to keep in mind that many local BSA Councils like this one has limited, trained or coached people to maintain and observe their site. Instead of deleting the site, recommend that people contact the Council and ask them to provide more information than what is found by viewing the website. Stray comments from people in opposition of the BSA or their policies should be removed to maintain the neutrality of the site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Settummanque (talkcontribs) 16:43, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A brief analysis of sources

  1. "A press release". 13 August 2018. on the Scouting website about the appointment of a person to the Council.
  2. "A report on the Council". from
    GuideStar
    , which publishes numbers on NGOs (this is a website that reports primary information).
  3. "Order your book on patches here".--that's all this can do.
  4. "Well this link goes nowhere and should be removed". but ostensibly this is an obit on a member--no reason at all to believe it offers proper information that establishes notability.
  5. "Here is another BSA web page"., this one the real directory.
  6. "An obit on a person". on the website of the Rotary Club, which offers "He helped finance the rebuilding of the Boy Scout Camp in the Florida Keys"--and that is all it is.
  7. "Boy Scout camp after Irma". (to state the obvious: this isn't about the Council).
  8. "God only knows what this is". --it's not a secondary source, it doesn't discuss the Council. "Camp Everglades is in the Pine Rocklands of Everglades National Park" is not contended, and it is irrelevant.
  9. "Wilma Ravages Boy Scout Camp"--a newspaper article about a camp after a storm; it has 413 words, according to the Miami Herald, and I doubt that much of that is devoted to the Council.
  10. "Another camp after a storm". 25 June 2012. ; if we're generous we can see content about the Council: "Since then, the South Florida Council, Boy Scouts of America, have cleared away fallen Australian Pines and ripped out a decades-old water system." If we are really generous.
  11. "Another camp after a storm". New York Daily News., and if we're generous, "It is expected to reopen by January, according to Jeff Hunt, executive director of the South Florida Council of Boys Scouts of America."
  12. "What this is, is unclear". Archived from the original on 2012-03-10., but a web page archived from the O-Shot-Caw Lodge is not an independent secondary source.

In other words: mentions in secondary sources about the Council: two. Discussion of the actual Council in secondary sources: zero. Drmies (talk) 20:39, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:REFBOMB
-- (1) citations which briefly namecheck the fact that the subject exists, but are not actually about the subject to any non-trivial degree and (2) citations which don't even namecheck the subject at all, but are present solely to verify a fact that's entirely tangential to the topic's own notability or lack thereof. For example, a statement of where the person was born might be "referenced" to a source which verifies that the named town exists, but completely fails to support the claim that the person was actually born there..
I respect the work that editors have put into this article, and I think there's some value in folding some of the information into the main page referenced above by user:evrik. I hate deleting articles, especially ones that contain a lot of useful information, but even with the expanded sourcing I just can't see this as passing the GNG.

user:Drmies - Thank you for the analysis. That was a fair amount of work.

To clarify, I am not saying that

WP:REFBOMB
is a policy or that the article should be deleted for that reason. My point, as I said earlier, is that the article’s sources are mostly about other stuff that are only incidentally related to South Florida Council. No one is disputing that the Council exists, or that it does good work in the community. But the sourcing present in the article and the sources linked in this page are (for the most part) not **about** the South Florida Council. They mention it in the context of other topics — a natural disaster in south Florida, or a story about the Boy Scouts in general, etc. they are useful for corroborating / verifying information about the Council, and again I commend the work spent here, but they don’t establish that it is notable.

One thing that might be helpful is if you described why the article passes the

WP:Notability (organizations and companies myself and tried to make a case that it is notable but I haven’t been able to justify it with the information I’ve found so far. If you can do that, then I will support keeping the article. Michepman (talk) 19:20, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

Examining some of the refs cited here by evrik (but not yet integrated into the article) since the AfD was first listed do support GNG. Whilst individually the refs are not highly persuasive, taken in the aggregate the article barely meets GNG. The camps owned and operated by a council are part of the council's article, rather than having separate standalone articles. News media coverage of Hurricane Irma's destruction of the South Florida Council's camp on Scout Key is therefore specifically relevant to this article and indeed demonstrates the Council's notability.
Likewise, repeated news media mention in reliable sources about the South Florida Council, as it relates to news developments and controversies, also  contribute to notability. That these reliable sources consider the Council Executive's statements worthy enough to quote as newsworthy, further demonstrates that keeping this article best serves Wikipedia's value to the reader.   JGHowes  talk 17:17, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
User:JGHowes, you are suggesting a kind of inherent notability for such organizational entities. I still do not see why a council gets that privilege. Is there a secondary sources that explains when and how if was founded? Who the most important people were on the board or in the organization? What its financials are? What all things it operates, and why, and how? These are the things we expect secondary sources to deliver in order for an organizational entity to pass the GNG--except for secondary schools. Councils are not like secondary schools. These articles you point at, not a single one of them says anything substantial about the council. One or two of them point at grants, requested or received. One has a few membership numbers. That's it. Drmies (talk) 17:26, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Drmies you haven't made your case. The facts aren't with you. Why don't you work on revamping the article instead of spending so much time trying to refute what others have said. --evrik (talk)

Please take a fresh look at the revised article, which now has much less reliance on self-pub and OR than before the AfD prompted the rewrite and search for RS refs to meet GNG. Some have now been incorporated into the article, especially as concerns the hurricane recovery at this Council's camps and are thus unquestionably relevant. Interestingly enough, I did contact the Council to see if they had old newspaper clippings in their archives from the 1910s-1930s regarding the Council's founding and merger history, but all those records were lost when Wilma destroyed the building housing the archives.  JGHowes  talk 16:34, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SIGCOV
demands that the sources provided have some substance so that notability can be established, and Drmies's last point on this has not been refuted - but it is possible (per JGHowes) the last edits did find such sources.

Of the three that are available on the internet, I am concerned about the independence of Charity Navigator's page. The other two are trivial mentions. Based on what the book is supporting, I think it is also a trivial mention. The last one looks like one of the sources already discussed. I saw a mention that this used to be the "Dade County Council", but searching for that in newspaper archives gets only routine,

    • user:evrik, two things. a. I asked you to stop pinging me; you should respect that. b. Do not EVER remove an IP's comment for such specious reasons. You can ask for a check, but it will be denied immediately. If you're wondering how I can say this with such certainly, it's because I am a CheckUser and we don't honor requests for IP checks, esp. not if there is no evidence. (Like, seriously--who do you think this person is, and based on what evidence? Without that, it will always be denied, even if it's an account and not an IP.) Also, IPs are people too.

      Well, now that I am here, thank you Jo-Jo Eumerus. Rockphed, thank you also. Yes, I do believe my comments have not been properly addressed. Having said that, I have to say, User:JGHowes, holy moly, you did a fine, fine job. I still do not think (having just looked over the new version and some of the new sources) that this council passes the GNG, but if it gets through this AfD it will be because of your work, and I appreciate it.

  • Comment, there are some other refs added in the last couple of days, besides those enumerated above by Rockphed:
These new refs are, for the most part, independent secondary sources which, taken together, do respond to Drmies' concerns regarding what GNG rightly expects of an org's article, e.g., its most important leaders (and corporate sponsors, in the case of a non-profit), its budget, and especially what the org operates (i.e., the camps, in this instance). This is not to claim inherent notability or
IAR
applies, but rather that there has been more than mere passing mention that the news media has deemed newsworthy in a major metropolitan area, thereby meeting the notability requirements of GNG.
Drmies, I was at Gunter AFB as an ROTC cadet marching and doing PT under a blazing hot July sun, so I'll take you up on that kind offer anytime but summer!  JGHowes  talk 00:44, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm really impressed by the additional sourcing on this. I still think it's very debatable that this organization is notable per the strict letter of the GNG (which admittedly is frustratingly vague) but I do think that, given the track record of specific citations to it over a long period of time over multiple independent resources, that it probably does merit enough verifiable independent coverage to meet the specific notability guidelines for the organizations.
As noted above, a lot -- nearly all, actually -- of the sources presented actually are about other topics (often articles that are really about the Boy Scouts and not specifically about the Council) but I think that there's enough meat on the bone to support the article. This is definitely a tough one though and I can still see both sides. Michepman (talk) 02:16, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This is clearly the case, just looking at a few of these. This one,for example, is a student thesis in which Gage is only mentioned in a footnote summarizing the plot of the book, this one is nothing but a brief plot summary as is this one, and this one mentions the character in exactly two sentences, and barely even talks about the character in those sentences. This seems to just be the typical strategy of flooding the AFD with supposed sources, without actually providing the authorship or a link to them, in the hopes that no one does the work to track them down and analyze them for the poor sources they are.Rorshacma (talk) 15:46, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "There are none so blind as those that will not see". Naming the character in two places is evidence of notability, not a lack of it. Appearing a footnote in a scholary thesis is evidence of notability, not the contrary. The coverage in the Literary Companion is a separate entry for the character which mainly focusses on its cameos in other works, rather than simply recapitulating the plot. These are all valid sources for various aspects of the article and their existence demonstrates that the character has been noticed and written about and so we are able to cover it without OR. There are lots more sources like this and, in providing a selection, I have gone way beyond what is required of me. The onus in this matter is on the nominator to make such searches as they are the person trying to make a case that no-one has noticed this subject. They have failed to provide any evidence; have misrepresented the facts of the matter and the deletionist claque isn't any better. Andrew D. (talk) 16:48, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Naming the character in two places is evidence of notability, not a lack of it." Really? Because our guideline on notability states that "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention", and I don't know how you can even pretend to claim that the two sentences present in the article in question is anything but the definition of trivial. As are the mentions in all of the other sources I actually bothered to look at. Does anyone really believe that mentioning two "cameos" of the character, one of which is not even of the character but of a shoe, and the other one is clearly stated in the same book to not even be the same character is "significant coverage"? Proving that the character's name comes up when you google it does nothing to indicate any notability of the character separate from their already-present coverage in the main article on the book, or why it needs to have a separate article from the already substantial coverage in the main article on the book. Rorshacma (talk) 17:08, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • These details are significant coverage in my view. They corroborate specific facts and that's what we require of citations. To call this "trivial" is just opinionated prejudice; assuming the thing that you're trying to prove. Andrew D. (talk) 17:34, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, it's not clearly the case. There's clearly some history here that I'm not privy to...
    I did my own Google Scholar search, and I will vouch for at least two of the above articles. The fact that there are so many supports the fact that they
    WP:NEXIST regardless of the state of the article.
    2. Nightmare on Sesame Street - Gage is covered extensively and believed to represent or fight against becoming brain-dead youth that watch too much TV.
