Delete - information can easily be transcluded/incorporated into the existing page
National Basketball Association Christmas games. giving this an artile of its own leads to watered down content.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Grmike (talk • contribs) 10:53, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

Userfy, to give the creator a chance to complete drafting (IMO too early to assume it has been abandoned). Although I personally don't see the point of this article, or why it needs to be separate from
National Basketball Association Christmas games, I'm also not an expert on the subject and therefore not in a position to judge. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:34, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

Delete per above, this isn't a useful encyclopedia page. I don't really see how userfying could help, but I don't see how it could hurt, so if a user wants it then it should be given to them. Ikjbagl (talk) 06:34, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Is the "Christmas Day Game" something that is talked about? I've never heard of that, but I'm also not a sports person. I didn't see anything that would indicate that this is a particularly noteworthy subsection of NBA games. Is it special for some reason other than that it's on a holiday? Is there something notable about the category of Christmas Day Games? Ikjbagl (talk) 01:15, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could not find much on google except here where LA Weekly calls him a folk sensation and there are quite a few book hits.

Do not delete it First of all, let’s be clears David notMD just deleted information and references, he didn’t move it to draft. Secondly, One Young World IS NOT A PANEL IS A SUMMIT THAT GATHERS MORE THAN 2000 YOUNG LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE, AND it is highly competitive to be a speaker in that summit!! Professionally, Benjamin uses his middle name but sometimes he is called by his first name Selin so that'ts why there are articles that use both names (Selin Benjamin Bocio) or one of his names (Selin Bocio or Benjamin Bocio). Aside from Premios Soberanos (entertainment world) there are no famous awards in the dominican republic, but those of the government do matter. Only two dominicans have had the opportunity to speak in ONE YOUNG WORLD, Rainier Mallol 2016 and Benjamin Bocio 2019, a young speaker have to compete with thousands to get the opportunity....

Comment While I was not one who converted the article to draft, that did happen twice, after Humanitarian2 moved the AfC Declined draft to mainspace twice. My input (reverted by Humanitarian2) is that listing notable people who spoke at the same event does not add to Bocio's notability, an opinion I stand by. NOTE: A brand new editor "Madeindomincanrepublic" added content ("He cannot be judged...") into the above paragraph signed by Humanitarian2. My guess is that "Made" does not understand the needs to separately make and sign comments. David notMD (talk) 11:24, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He never had a significant role. Totally fails notability guidelines for actors.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:06, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. People do not get over NACTOR just for appearing in stuff — they have to have significant roles, which is not the same thing as all roles, and even with significant roles they still have to have some evidence of
primary sourcing rules even articles that do pass our notability standards still can't use genealogical sourcing to support any biographical content not already placed on the public record in the subject's published media coverage. (That is, if you can't find any published books or newspaper articles about him that state his birthdate or the name of his wife, then you're simply not allowed to dig into civil B/M/D records to find them yourself.)

Weak Keep: I've found some sources at newspapers.com under the subject's pseudonym. I'm applying to have them clipped at

]

Here are a few of the sources: here, here, here and here. The last two provide only brief praise, but they do show that the subject had what would appear to be main roles in theatre productions, which would strengthen the case for
WP:NACTOR. I found another, more in-depth article that refers to the subject in a different capacity—though I'm not sure if it's really him or someone else. The age and location fit, but I'm not certain. It does not, however, refer to the subject in terms of his career as an actor. If anyone wants to see it I am happy to post it.

Delete - The sources listed by Dflaw4 are articles about the shows and not about the actor; the actor enjoys maybe a sentence of coverage in each of the four articles. In other words, the coverage is trivial and does not confer notability on the subject. There are no good sources in the article and I couldn't find any. Therefore, delete.

Not enough sources exist to write an article of substance. Questionable notability. Unsourced since 2008. Merge proposal since July. Vmavanti (talk) 22:45, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect doesn't seem to have been any discussion about merge (only the tag), but makes sense as it doesn't seem independently notable enough. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:32, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are substantial references to justify the notability of this jazz standard. An even cursory glance at Google Books would have confirmed this. No Swan So Fine (talk) 09:55, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per No Swan's arguments. Caro7200 (talk) 13:07, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - and remove the merger proposal because nobody has discussed it. The song is a well-known standard. Due to the time period, it is less likely to come up in online sources, but a Google Books search finds that the song is often discussed with various levels of detail in jazz histories of the period, and also in biographies of Duke Ellington and other notable musicians who performed the song. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:20, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I see that No Swan So Fine has expanded and improved the article since the nomination, so the

Read my comment before reacting. I said it was a "standard" (as used on that page) and not a rule that is required. Either way, it is absolutely worth consideration because you nominated the article for deletion based on its state at the time. Now someone else has improved it, so per
WP:HEYMANN your argument for deleting the article has become less viable. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:52, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

WP:HEYMANN doesn't apply to anything. It's an essay. That's all. It can be ignored. End of story.
Vmavanti (talk) 02:18, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Here is my last statement on this matter. You have made an incredibly unconvincing argument for dismissing the improvements made by volunteer editors for the articles that you recently nominated for deletion. Here is another essay that you can falsely claim as irrelevant:
WP:LISTEN. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:56, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

I don't understand your reaction. I really don't. You haven't addressed my points or the facts. You just keep linking to essays. Maybe that's worked for you before, but it doesn't make sense to me. You might want to take a look at the deletion discussion for "Confirmation" where I analyze how the sources have been used incorrectly.Vmavanti (talk) 16:13, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a pattern, it's a pattern of mistakes, ignorance, stubbornness, and refusal to change or to follow the rules and goals of Wikpedia. "Keep by default" isn't how we are supposed to approach articles on Wikipedia. It is hardly impartial or tolerant or open-minded. You might want to read the deletion discussion for "Confirmation" where I analyze how the sources have been used incorrectly. There's a blues song called "Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself."Vmavanti (talk) 16:13, 29 April 2020 (UTC).[reply]
I encourage everyone reading this discussion to look at the deletion discussion Vmavanti notes above - at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Confirmation (composition). Please, by all means, examine Vmavanti's analysis and the ensuing discussion. Chubbles (talk) 18:20, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Chubs. I look forward to seeing him add sources to the 4000+ other articles in the jazz backlog stretching back twelve years. It will be nice having someone other than two people work on those unsourced and badly sourced articles and get them in shape before some Philistine tries to delete them. You know, clean up the mess the deadbeats left behind. Maybe the two of you can work on that together. There could be a barnstar in it.

Absolutely, overwhelmingly, 100% dead wrong about
WP:HEYMANN being irrelevant just because it's an essay. The nominator has recently nominated many articles for deletion when what they actually needed was improvement, and is now telling us that the improvements made by other committed volunteers should be ignored just because something is an essay.

Are you sure I said: "is now telling us that the improvements made by other committed volunteers should be ignored"?

Comment: it's possible that this article will not be kept because of the lack of sources, but I'd question the statement in the first line that it's now "obscure"... it's not like it was never popular, and I certainly think it remains well known among aficionados of this style of music. And seeing as it was covered by almost every big band outfit of the 1940s, there could well be more sources from an earlier era. Richard3120 (talk) 21:50, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Where are these imagined sources?Vmavanti (talk) 02:19, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I never said there definitely were sources. I said there may be, because this was a well known song in an earlier era, with numerous recordings of it. But you'll notice I didn't vote keep, because I can't do so on a premise of

Keep An admirable amount of work was just done on this article by No Swan So Fine, demonstrating both that the song is discussed in myriad sources and that redirection/merging would be a poor decision. Chubbles (talk) 14:17, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - and remove the merge proposal. The article has been improved by No Swan So Fine with reliable sources that the nominator should have found during a
WP:HEYMANN standard, which the nominator incorrectly claims is irrelevant, the deletion rationale was based on the state of the article at that time. Now that the article has been expanded and improved by others, the rationale for deleting has changed and the article can be evaluated on its current state. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:26, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

Regarding these sentences: "The song features a haunting, lazy hook in a minor key, with numerous diminished chords. The overall impression is both languid and wistful." Are they:
1) Opinion

2) Quotation

3) Paraphrase

If 1, then omit the sentences (Don't delete them, omit them; deleting is evil). If 2 or 3, then the sentences must be properly sourced. The other editor in the jazz project and I concluded long ago that we wanted to see the project follow the rest of Wikipedia by having every sentence sourced. That means every sentence should have a citation and footnote at the end of it. It's in everyone's interest to do it that way. I don't have a link to an essay, so course that invalidates the judgment of the two people who have done the most work on jazz articles. A few more points. Is sinatrafamily.com a reliable source? Exactly how many uses and definitions does the word "features" have? They must be numerous. How many items are in a "numerous" and why should I take your word for it? What's the difference between an impression and an "overall impression"? What's the difference between "lazy" and "languid"? Can a song be wistful? Or is a person wistful because of a particular song? Should there be unsourced figurative language in a Wikipedia article?Vmavanti (talk) 19:03, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've omitted that unsourced sentence. The sinatrafamily.com site is owned and maintained by the family of Frank Sinatra, and so I believe it to be a reliable source for creative works by Frank Sinatra. No Swan So Fine (talk) 21:04, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These are railroad junctions that have been mislabeled as "unincorporated communities", have little to no coverage beyond their existence as a railroad landmark and do not have a suitable redirect target. –dlthewave ☎ 01:01, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The articles should be developed, not deleted. Bagley Junction, Wisconsin in particular is already informative and well-sourced. The nominator is incorrect in stating that these are "mislabeled as 'unincorporated communities'" because they are all indexed by USGS as a "Community ... that is not a[n] ... incorporated place." The nominator appears to have compiled a laundry list of places in Wisconsin ending in Junction rather than focusing on any particular article. Doremo (talk) 03:33, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Let me elaborate on my WP:BEFORE process. I look for one category that often shows up erroneously in GNIS, which in this case happens to be rail junctions. Starting with the full list of Wisconsin "junction" stubs, I eliminated any article that mentioned a post office, general store, CDP designation or anything else that might show evidence of a settlement. I then checked topo maps, Google Books and newspapers.com for any amount of significant coverage beyond its existence as a rail junction. Out of the remaining articles, I merged any that were clearly associated with a nearby town and nominated the rest for deletion. Good luck finding any coverage of an actual settlement at any of these locations. The "unincorporated community" label appears to be original research; it's not supported by GNIS which typically uses "populated place". This is concerning because our descriptions show up on Google Maps, indicating that Wikipedia is creating and propagating misinformation. –dlthewave ☎ 04:56, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dlthewave: The "unincoporated" label refers to Wisconsin municipal code. Basically, any community that is not incorporated as city or a village under Wisconsin law is an "unincorporated community." -- Dolotta (talk) 11:37, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but we shouldn't be the ones to apply that designation, that would be OR. Somebody went through the GNIS database and made "unincorporated community" articles for every "populated place" without verifying the existence of communities at these locations. As Reywas pointed out, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susie, Washington is a prime example of why GNIS is not a reliable source for these labels since they routinely include uninhabited rail junctions as "populated places". –dlthewave ☎ 13:43, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dlthewave: Why would it be OR to apply a definition made by the state when that is the legal definition? Which definition should be used for unincorporated places in Wisconsin other than the one used by the municipal code? Who decides what is applied and what is that based on? Djflem (talk) 12:28, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

delete all There is no evidence that any of these are or ever were "communities"; GNIS does not constitute such evidence, as it has too many mistakes. Examination of the topo maps which are GNIS's sources doesn't show any communities, and while there is a fair bit of text in the Bagley Junction article, all of it is either just the GNIS text elaborated, or a rather drawn-out explanation of where the name came from. None of the other goes beyond a GNIS dump. If you can show that they are notable as rail junctions, go ahead. But they are not communities. Mangoe (talk) 03:55, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all Bagley junction is also just a railroad junction, not a community, see topo and sources in its article. The rest of that article reads as a
WP:REFBOMB and does not establish why a generic railroad junction is notable, though some of that history could go in Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad or a Railroads of Wisconsin. Reywas92^Talk 04:17, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

It's not clear what the see topo link above indicates; on the topographic map Bagley Junction is marked in the same font and size as the neighboring community of Porterfield, and the map shows a small cluster of houses at Bagley Junction. Doremo (talk) 04:44, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's also in the same font as the Phillips Sch[ool], Sandberg Sch, and St Matthews Ch[urch] nearby, but in a smaller font than the actual towns of Peshtigo and Porterfield.

Consider them individually: I don't know about the rest of the locations, but Bagley Junction is widely mentioned in newspapers as a community where people lived or where they were from; for example, here ("her home at Bagley Junction", "moved to Bagley Junction"), here ("the 'mayor of Bagley Junction'", a jocular title), and here ("Leo Saduski, of Bagley Junction"). The locale is referred to like any other small community, and this list should be addressed on a per-case basis. Doremo (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for in fact now proving it as requested as a locale. Whether it's really a notable community is another question, as the neighborhood near the junction (GEOLAND2) can be covered with its township Porterfield, Wisconsin, but perhaps best to exclude this one. Mass-creator did not make these on a per-case basis so best not to waste on time on thousands of such one-liners individually. Reywas92^Talk 05:14, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Foster Junction is probably another that should be excluded from the laundry list. Callary's Place Names of Wisconsin (page 98) refers to it as a community and provides additional history on its establishment and decline. Doremo (talk) 05:40, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd keep Bagley Junction for sure and I'd give the others their due individually. For instance, Laona Junction had a depot that could be covered [2] [3] and at least one person is mentioned as being from there in this, er, public interest story [4] and [5], it was also the destination of a tourist train in the 1960s and would be a valid stub. [6] These deletions are getting unwieldy. SportingFlyer T·C 06:41, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge All Except Bagley -- I would merge them with the municipality in which they are located. If more information is located later, the article can be recreated. For a large proportion of these places, significant information is generally lacking. -- Dolotta (talk) 11:27, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Chicago Junction to Spooner, Wisconsin. According to this newspaper clipping, Chicago Junction was an early name for the town that became Spooner. (No opinion on the rest until I do more research.) TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 15:01, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Bagley Junction per the sources found by Doremo, which establish pretty convincingly that it's an actual community and not just a railroad junction that was misclassified as one. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 15:03, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Laona Junction. In addition to the sources found by Doremo, there's this article which says it was a mill town in addition to being a railroad junction, and a small piece of local news about a resident. (Plus quite a few sources about the railroad, compared to the other junctions that have come up at AfD.) TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 15:17, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The phrasing here is a bit ambiguous (are the mills in Laona or Laona Junction?), but if they were located "a short distance from the C&NW Road" then they would have been in Laona which was on the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. The majority of sources simply mention it as a railroad landmark, e.g. "between Laona and Laona Junction", which doesn't demonstrate the existence of a community or meet the level of in-depth coverage that would met GNG. A significant number of the newspaper hits are reprints of this, which describes a snowmobile trail "starting in Laona at Junction 32", completely unrelated to Laona Junction. –dlthewave ☎ 16:32, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Foster Junction. In addition to Place Names of Wisconsin, this article mentions a family who lived there, and there are multiple stories about hunting near Foster Junction [7] [8]. (Failing that, merge it with Mellen, Wisconsin, which it was very close to.) TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 15:26, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the other three. I was able to confirm that they were all real locations, but I couldn't find evidence that any of them were more than railroad junctions. (Though Wisconsin Junction was really hard to search for, so if anyone finds better sources about it, please ping me.) TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 15:45, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Boylston Junction. Gmaps does not show nothing as claimed, there is a sprinkling of buildings there. An article in Defenders says "Wolves will often cross roads amd move through fairly densely populated areas. One female was seen at 2pm at a gas station in Boylston Junction, Wisconsin." The context implies that this is a populated area. It at least has a gas station. This book says "Today, Boylston is Bylston Junction..." implying that they are synonyms and a redirect is in order. The map pin for Boylston, Wisconsin is almost the same location, just the other side of the junction. The same source also says, "David Zearley was an old man of 73-74 when he left Iowa for Boylston, Wisconsin, to live with his son and grandson..." So at least three people once lived there. Perhaps because it has a convenient gas station. SpinningSpark 00:02, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Bagley, Foster, and Laona because they have signs of being real. Especially keep Foster as it once was a populated place but now a ghost town. Redirect others to the town articles and merge content into it (if any content). I have encountered some Michigan and Colonial East Coast states use the redirect method for short articles. On a side note, Forest Junction started as an railroad intersection in the woods and grew into a community - so it is possible that some of these rail intersections might become notable in the future. Royal broil 15:18, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nom comment I went ahead and struck Foster Junction since it's been shown to be an actual, if short-lived, community. I'm aware of minor coverage and the existence of buildings at some of the other locations, but I don't see anything that would meet
WP:GNG. I'm not convinced that someone being "from" there or the fact that it was a destination for hunters are sufficient to establish these as distinct, notable communities. –dlthewave ☎ 16:16, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

GEOLAND does not say that a place must be incorporated before we have to rely on GNG, it says "legally recognized" which is not quite the same thing. A place can be legally recognized without it having a town council. SpinningSpark 17:05, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, we've had discussion on the talk page if the presence of a post office or naming of a census-designated place is "legal recognition" and neither was conclusive – the law isn't involved! The talk archives suggest that enumeration in the census would count, and the page once noted that this would indeed vary by country, but this term is never defined and several concerns were raised in the RFC to adopt. It's very vague and should be revised. Reywas92^Talk 19:23, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have argued at various times that our inclusion of companies should be based primarily upon their real world importance, rathe than on sourcing. This has never been accepted, except in limited ways, and as secondary factors. We do take into consideration membership in major exchange (such as the companies whose stock price are components of the S&P500), and we informally sometimes consider the size of the company, and very occasionally the market share. We tend to give a preference for long established companies, and are very skeptical about articles on ones in the process of formation, or that have never actually produced a project. There are no formal standards for these factors. Personally, I have sometimes argued for acceptance of the company holding the predominant market share in a country, but even I have never argued it for 3rd or 4th.

I imagine it would be even harder for companies where most of the sources would not be in English. I was going to vote on this, but I think I could fairly due to not speaking Greek. Although, interestingly most of the sources in the article are in English. So, maybe I will anyway. More on topic, I think there was something in a guideline about having slightly loser standards for smaller "local" companies. Maybe the same can go for companies in places like "minor" (no insult) European countries. Where they have a large market in that place, but a small market compared to what it would be in a larger country. For instance there shouldn't be the same standard for a company in a place like Malta with a population of just under five hundred thousand compared to one in a larger place. Especially if they have a large market share there. --Adamant1 (talk) 02:23, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DGG It's not a realistic argument whether a company is notable or not if it is a member of the S&P500.Even for the market of big countries like US is insane. Also,you have to consider some facts to understand the situation in the Greek market of beer.Until recently,a subsidiary of Heineken,Athenian Brewery, was holding more than 70% of the market share for 30 years,but it managed to achieve this percentage due to its unfair competition methods adopted, for which was found guilty and fined 30 million euros by a greek court.So, the remaining percentage has to be shared to many micro and mid-sized breweries.That's why I believe the market share matters in this case.I can give many proof of why this company is notable for the size of Greece, such as the fact that it managed to fulfill its needs for raw materials(malt) 100% by the local production,become the main supplier of them to the inland market micro and mid-sized breweries and start exporting it while of course being exporting the main products,the beers,since 1999.It has farming contracts with hundreds of producers of northern Greece and also managed to found a subsidiary company and all of these through the debt crisis Greece was suffering.One Last thing, in wikipedia there are articles for way much smaller breweries that have no special impact to the society they're located due to their small production rates. Some of them are: Peiraiki Microbrewery,Rethymnian Brewery,Santorini Brewing Company Adamant1 I agree with you! Excuse me for any mistakes Gnslps (talk) 03:39, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
to be sure ,being a member of the S&P 500 is not necessary--I gave it merely as an example of where we accepted real-world importance. I personally am prepared to accept being the leading company in an industry i nany country as large and significant as Greece. r. aasa reason for notable , and had it been he largest brewer in Greece, I would argue for its acceptance. But thatmeans largest, not 3rd lrgest. DGG ( talk ) 09:09, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DGGAccording to your logic if you're not the largest in something, you don't deserve to have a WP article.For example,in the soccer,i suppose you believe that only the biggest teams deserve a WP article and not those which rank lower, even if they belong to a whole such as the league and so on.In our case this whole is the brewing industry in Greece (See also Beer in Greece). So,according to this I'm expecting from you to nominate for deletion every small brewery and in large scale every small company based in any country that is listed in the English Wikipedia so you can be unbiased. Gnslps (talk) 11:33, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think you understand. The basic requirement is that the company meet [[the referencing standards at
WP:NCORP. For companies, large or small, that are marginal in that respect, we can consider other factors. However, there are many hundred thousand articles in WP accepted in earlier years when the standards were lower that we need to either upgrade or remove. The least we can do is not add to them.

Delete There are many sources presented at the previous AfD and while they discuss the nature of a "rivalry" they don't actually talk about a rivalry - most of the references are in passing or question whether the teams should be rivals, as opposed to talking about any hatred that may actually constitute a rivalry.
WP:GNG being met in the sense that there's evidence these two teams consider themselves rivals. I think this was kept in 2016 because enough articles use the word "rivalry." Other articles discuss the rivalry between the teams' quarterbacks and not the rivalry amongst the teams themselves, and we see similar articles written and deleted for college football non-rivalries because some sportswriter, hungry to create content, decides the teams may be "rivals."

Delete. USA Today said in 2016 it's "becoming a 'must-see TV' rivalry" (bolding mine),[9] but it's too lopsided and there are no really memorable games, so (from the vantage point of a longtime Seahawks fan) the emotion/animosity of a real rivalry just isn't there. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:04, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There isn't enough reliable sourcing that refers to this as a rivalry. As it stands, the article is nothing more than a game log with a weakly-sourced history section that simply rehashes when they've met and under what circumstances. There is content, but there is nothing substantive to suggest that anyone considers this to be any more of an actual rivalry than any two randomly-selected teams in the league. --Kinu ^t/_c 07:46, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Panthers–Seahawks rivalry
was closed in 2016. Here are four sources published in 2018 and 2020:

Person, Joseph (2018-11-20). "One of the NFL's weirdest, long-distance rivalries: How Panthers vs. Seahawks became what it is today". The Athletic. Archived from the original on 2020-04-28. Retrieved 2020-04-28.

Wassell, Tom (2020-01-09). "Seahawks-Packers rivalry has some memorable games — these are the top 5". Bonneville International. Archived from the original on 2020-04-28. Retrieved 2020-04-28.
The article notes (my bolding):
You don’t need to be in the same division to have a true rivalry in the NFL. There are plenty of teams that have bitter histories with one another despite not having to play twice a year. Think of 49ers-Cowboys, Patriots-Colts, Giants-49ers, Seahawks-Panthers and more recently Saints-Vikings.
On Sunday, the Seahawks and Packers add another chapter to their growing rivalry that has already seen them play twice in the playoffs and a handful of times in the regular season with exciting or strange outcomes. Let’s take a look at five of those games.

Finnis, Alex (2018-11-23). "NFL RedZone companion, week 12: Seahawks and Panthers renew rivalry in wild card scrap". The Daily Telegraph. Archived from the original on 2020-04-28. Retrieved 2020-04-28.
The article notes:

The Seahawks and Panthers have developed an unlikely rivalry over the past half-decade or so, one which really ignited when they split back-to-back Divisional Round playoff games in the 2014 and 2015 seasons (each time the winner went on to lose the Super Bowl). Sunday's clash in Charlotte is almost as important as those two games - the victor puts themselves into pole position in the NFC wild card race.

Lewis, Derek (2018-11-26). "Pete Carroll rejects notion Seahawks dominate Panthers rivalry". 247Sports.com. Archived from the original
on 2020-04-28. Retrieved 2020-04-28.
The article notes (my bolding):
Winning seven of nine games in a rivalry and two-straight certainly qualifies as a tremendous success but history tends to forget how those games were won. Carroll hasn't and although he's happy to get a season-changing road win that allows them to control their playoff fortunes; he's not ready to call anything "dominant."
But then again, the Panthers probably don't care what you call it. In nine games, they have seven losses to one of their biggest non-division rivals. When they play next, that fact will undoubtedly dominate their minds if nothing else.

Here are two sources from 2016:

Person, Joseph (2016-01-12). "A look back at past 5 games in Panthers-Seahawks rivalry". The Charlotte Observer. Archived from the original on 2016-09-28. Retrieved 2016-09-28.
The article notes (my bolding):
The Panthers and Seattle Seahawks have met so often the past four seasons, it’s almost like they’re division rivals – if not for the 2,500 miles that separate them.
Sunday’s divisional-round game at Bank of America Stadium will be the sixth time Carolina (15-1) and Seattle (11-6) have played since 2012, including the Panthers’ playoff loss at Seattle last January.
The teams will meet again next season in Seattle for a seventh time in five seasons.
The Observer looks at the recent games in one of the NFL’s more interesting – and improbable – rivalries:

Condotta, Bob (2016-01-14). "The top 5 games in Seahawks-Panthers history". The Seattle Times. Archived from the original on 2016-09-28. Retrieved 2016-09-28.
The article notes (my bolding):
Carolina might not always be in the Seahawks’ minds, as James Taylor sang in the 1970s, but it does seem to often be in their way.
For two franchises on opposite coasts and in separate divisions, the Seahawks and Panthers have developed an unlikely rivalry in recent years, crossing paths both with an unusual frequency and at particularly critical times, especially for Seattle.
They will do so again Sunday when the Seahawks play at Carolina in a divisional playoff game, the Panthers once again standing between Seattle and the Super Bowl.
In all, the teams have met eight times in the regular season and twice in the postseason — both of those in years in which the Seahawks advanced to the Super Bowl.
Six of those meetings have come since Pete Carroll took over as the Seahawks’ coach in 2010, meaning they have faced Carolina more than any other non-NFC West team in that time.
We could just list the games the Seahawks have played against Carolina. Instead, we thought we’d rate them in order of importance.

There is sufficient coverage in
reliable sources to allow the Panthers–Seahawks rivalry to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Strong keep See the above examples. Nothing has changed since the last AfD aside from new sources that only confirm the existence of this rivalry. Here's one from The Athletic calling it one of the "weirdest long distance rivalries", here's one from Sports Illustrated calling it a rivalry. There might have been less coverage due to NFL scheduling rules: they have only played twice in the last four years. But when they do play (which is still pretty often), it gets covered.

Keep - I don't see what changed from the last AfD that would make me change my !vote.Rlendog (talk) 18:09, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Why are there so many delete !votes when there are sources found? Because this isn't actually a rivalry. This says this "isn't really much of a rivalry." This implies they were once rivals but aren't anymore, which isn't really the definition of rivalry we look for. This calls it an "unofficial" rivalry, this uses the word rivalry in quotes. The Seahawks don't consider this a rivalry. Also, NFL writers use the definition of rivalry willy-nilly, this one calls Seahawks-Patriots the best rivalry in football and no one is claiming that's even close to a rivalry. SportingFlyer T·C 19:10, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
So in other words we have a ton of sources that consider this a rivalry and a tiny handful that either don't consider it one or think that the rivalry has faded (in which case it's still a notable rivalry for the period of time they were rivals). Not really that convincing. Toa Nidhiki05 19:34, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Neither are any of the articles here brought over from 2016 that claim to make this pass
WP:GNG. Many of them only use rivals in a passing mention, the best isn't an RS but rather a Panthers fan blog, several don't discuss the rivalry but rather the rivalry between the two quarterbacks. We're putting way too much emphasis on how sportswriters have described a few of the games these teams played against each other, mostly out of passing mentions. No one actually thinks of this as a rivalry in the true sense of the word - it's nowhere near Washington-Washington State, for instance - which is the very reason why it's been nominated for AfD twice. SportingFlyer T·C 20:12, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

Clearly no one thinks it's a rivalry because there are no articles about it and editors didn't say keep last time. Toa Nidhiki05 01:11, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not every combination of two teams that play each other semi-regularly is really a notable rivalry, nor does the use of a word sports writers love to throw around warrant an article that's merely game results even if a supposed rivalry exists.

Delete. Yes, the series briefly became competitive in 2015 and 2016, resulting in some coverage invoking the "R" word, but the series lacks many of the classic indicia of a true rivalry, e.g., frequency of play (total of only 14 games [compare Bears–Packers with 200 games]), long history (series began 2000), geographic proximity (at 2,800 miles, about as far as two NFL cities can get), and competitiveness (Seattle has 10–4 record). Given everything, I think it's premature to consider this a notable rivalry for encyclopedia purposes. Cbl62 (talk) 19:01, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There's no rivalry here. Teams that play against each other does not constitute a rivalry. Talk about past games between two teams is
WP:ROUTINE coverage that always happens in a week leading up to two NFL teams playing. If this were considered a rivalry then any two teams in the NFL could be considered one. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:38, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

I find it confusing and incorrect that you have flagged the page Oliver Johnstone for deletion. It does match the criteria in WP:NPOL, as he was a member of Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council which is a province of Greater Manchester. It clearly states that if someone has been a member of a legislature at a province level they pass the criteria for WP:NPOL. This position that Oliver Johnstone had is similar to state house members in the United States, it is clearly therefore acceptable for this page to be in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheApollotd (talk • contribs) 19:30, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Stockport isn’t a province of Manchester, it’s a borough. Being a local councillor in Stockport is not like being a member of a US state legislature, it’s like being on the borough board of Queens or Brooklyn. Mccapra (talk) 06:37, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Boroughs of cities are not the same thing as provinces of the country, so a borough council is not synonymous with or even comparable to a provincial legislature. Borough councillors are local politicians under NPOL #2, not provincial or state legislators under NPOL #1 — so to qualify for a Wikipedia article, the test he would have to pass is having a hell of a lot more
reliable source coverage about him in media than this. Greater Manchester is not an independent country, it's merely a city with boroughs and wards like any other city. Bearcat (talk) 16:47, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

Merge or keep: As the Lich article is closely related with the lich from Dungeons & Dragons, I am fine either way. There are secondary sources treating the topic in the article, which should be preserved. There's also some discussion about the lich in Dungeons & Dragons and Philosophy. Aside from the reception section, some content based on primary sources is also worth preserving. (Primary sources are not "bad", right, they just don't contribute to notability?)

The Geek & Sundry article just shows that Lichs as seen in D&D aren't an original concept, there is nothing particularly special about them compared to other fictional depictions of the Lich, and therefore this information would be better off in an overall article about the Lich in fiction._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 10:53, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that article emphasizes the importance the D&D version of the lich for all other appearances since then. Or in other words, there would not be material for a Lich article on Wikipedia if the Lich (Dungeons & Dragons) had not been introduced by Gary Gygax in 1975. Daranios (talk) 19:12, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep Geek & Sundry is a bit short, but certainly is commentary on the history of the idea. I hunted down the Kobold quarterly article. It has a little bit of out-of-game context, but mostly discusses how to use them and a bit of "in-world" ideas. Certainly a reliable, independent source solely on this topic. So yeah, neither is amazing, but those two are enough to scrape by on WP:N. There are a number of other better sources, but they aren't independent. There are also a number of "nearly news" sources with things like "top 10 D&D monsters" which isn't worth much, but probably tips this in. Hobit (talk) 02:25, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you specify what part of GAMEGUIDE this is violating? Sources cover the history of the topic fairly well as well as the larger impact (basically how many other games have used this idea/name). From a WP:N viewpoint, we are there I think (if not by a lot). Hobit (talk) 04:01, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The vast majority article's sources only detail how the character was used in different versions of the game and are primary, which I think clearly violates the spirit of
WP:GAMEGUIDE if not the letter of the rule (which is about video games.) Perhaps cruft is the better verbiage? This character is not really notable in its own right, and notability isn't inherited. There's some sources noting the character's reception, yes, but I think that can be moved to Lich. Maybe this can be moved to a different wiki? SportingFlyer T·C 04:24, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply
]
We've got multiple independent sources, so I think it is notable. CRUFT isn't really a valid argument for deletion, it's a variation of IDONTLIKEIT. Now that said, I totally understand the cruft argument. I find our coverage of random soccer players is cruft (and I actually watch EPL and have gone to England mostly just to watch a game!). And I can see not wanting to have a page for every notable fictional element of a game or book series. But I think this meets our current policies and guidelines. Hobit (talk) 05:35, 28 April 2020 (UTC) (Edited 18:54, 28 April 2020 (UTC))[reply]
I think
WP:IDONTLIKEIT, many !votes on the Games AfD category come down to ILIKEIT/IDONTLIKEIT. I also agree with you that CRUFT may be a IDONTLIKEIT argument, but I'm using it here to discuss the sourcing. I see an article which relies almost completely on primary/non-independent sources, with weak secondary sources, which could easily be covered in a different article, hence my merge !vote.

No evidence it was any kind of community, but since it was the most notable place in the vicinity (10 miles nort of Prescott at the time, today within the city - it would be called the area just north of the airport), it did seem to be a landmark in the 1910s.

Comment No opinion on Cobalt Junction yet, but the rest of the communities definitely don't belong in this AfD. Graham still has its own post office. Brock is referenced in several oilfield reports [16] [17] and had its own general store [18]. Dillard was once big enough to fill an entire newspaper column with updates on the lives of its residents (an article which also has a whole section about Reck). And that's without even checking sources for several of them. Places like that don't belong in the same discussion as a place that wasn't even clearly a settlement, especially when the original nominator didn't even add them.

Keep Probably more notable for his banking career, but served in a number of positions, not just mayor. Is well sourced including a NYT obituary. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 16:43, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Four of the eight references here are
primary sources that are not support for notability at all — Political Graveyard is not a notability-assisting source, and neither is the self-published documentation of any organization that's directly affiliated with the claim (such as sourcing his presidency of a local savings and loan to the annual report of the state division of savings and loan associations, rather than any evidence of real media coverage about his presidency of a savings and loan.) And for media sourcing, what we have is two obituaries, a glancing namecheck of his existence in a list of people, and a local history book: but the book is just being used to footnote the dates of his term in office, not any substantive content that might speak to his potential notability, and having your name appear in a list of appointments to a non-notable job is not a notability clincher, so the only sources that are relevant to establishing whether he's notable enough or not are the obituaries themselves. But one of them is the paid-inclusion obituary in the classifieds section of the town where he grew up, not a journalist-written news article, so it doesn't help at all — and while the other one is in The New York Times, the fact that a person has an obituary in The New York Times still doesn't single-handedly clinch his notability all by itself: even just to claim that he passed GNG, he would still need to have a lot more than just one non-primary and non-trivial source. Bearcat (talk) 17:08, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

Delete As he stands, not notable. The NY Times obit is a blurb and the town he served for was local to the newspaper's catchment area, the Altoona obituary is more about how people from Altoona visited his funeral - having done some historical family research recently, there were very common articles at the time. Does not pass

Delete with the person being local to the NYT, having a short NYT obit is not a sign of notability.

Delete. Kearny NJ is not large enough to confer an automatic notability freebie on all of its mayors under
primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, and 25 per cent to a local history book which just glancingly namechecks this mayor's existence a few times without containing any content that's substantively about him. This is not how you make a smalltown mayor notable: the notability test for a mayor is the ability to write a substantive article about his political significance, not just the ability to locate the names of his parents.

Have you ever heard the expression "that and two bucks will get you a coffee"? (If you haven't, I'll give you a hint as to what it means: a coffee already costs two bucks as it is...) You're not saying anything that's "inherently" notable enough to make him eligible for an article in the absence of any significant

Mayoral notability doesn't hinge on a "population of the city" test, either. Larger cities can have mayors that fail the notability test, and smaller towns can have mayors that pass it — the notability test is not about the size of the city, it's about the volume of media coverage about him that can or cannot be shown to support an article with.

Firstly, Wikipedia's notability criteria for musicians have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with whether an infobox shows up alongside a Google search or not — a musician's notability lives or dies on the quality of the sources that can be used to support a Wikipedia article with, not on whether their name generates a box on Google or not.

Secondly, when it comes to the awards, RootsMusic and FYI Music News are not, in and of themselves, sources that can singlehandedly clinch the notability of a person just because his name has appeared in a short news blurb. Those are music industry PR newsletters, not notability-making music media — so they can be used for verifying a few stray facts after his notability has already been properly established by stronger sources, but are not sources that make him notable in and of themselves. To constitute support for notability, a source has to be about him, not just briefly mention his name. And the fact that a music industry newsletter prints a short news blurb happens to be about "Sina Bathaie gets nomination for minor award" does not mean, in and of itself, that the award has become notable enough to make him notable for getting nominated for it — that depends on whether the awards themselves routinely generate broad media coverage in a lot of sources about the awards, not just on whether you can find one blurb about one nominee in one source.

Thirdly, Son & Image is an unreliable WordPress blog, not a notability-supporting real magazine. Blogs are not acceptable or notability-supporting sources at all: if the only reference you can provide for any given piece of information is a blog, and not a real media outlet, then that piece of information does not bolster or fortify his notability at all, because blogs are not reliable or notability-supporting sources.

Fourthly, people are not notable just for attending conferences, or for giving any music performance that can be referenced only to that venue or festival's own self-published website about itself. For a musician, nothing speaks to his notability unless it can be referenced to media. Concerts aren't notability claims unless they're referenced to concert reviews in real media, having his music featured in a museum production isn't a notability claim unless it's referenced to a review of the production in real media, and on and so forth.

Fifthly, appearing on local radio and television as an interview guest or live performer is not a notability claim. Notability-supporting media coverage is stuff in which other people are speaking about him in the third person, and does not include anything in which he's speaking about himself in I statements, or which just features him singing without verifying any noteworthy information about his career.

So, to summarize, in order to support his notability a source has to meet all of the following conditions: substantively about him; from a real media outlet and not a blog or the self-published website of any organization or person directly affiliated with the statement; representing third person journalism and analysis by real journalists and music critics, and not representing him speaking about himself. So the only notability-supporting sources present here are still Niagara This Week and WholeNote, which still is not enough. Bearcat (talk) 18:07, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

* Firstly, to address the comment above that "Concerts aren't notability claims unless they're referenced to concert reviews in real media" , There is a full page concert review and article in media directly about the artist for his performance and appearance at the conference here. ^[16]

Secondly, the statement above that "Son & Image is a blog" is not correct. The review has been written and issued in the Dec 2017 edition of the magazine in Print, A link to the PDF page of the review from the magazine can be found here ^[17].This is a half page full review in French about the artist. The review has been written by Dan Breham a prominent music reviewer and journalist in french diaspora according to le Devoir ^[18]

Thirdly, I agree that appearance in an international conference by itself and single-handedly can not be a reason for a Wikipedia page, However it helps to reach a consensus about the artist. Each artist can only appear once in their career at these international conference, That is why they have been listed as notable performance in the page of many other artists including Juno Winner Quique Escamilla and Battle of Santiago

Fourthly, I agree that the awards themselves generate media coverage that can be picked up by music industry newsletters mentioning artists for nomination in a blurb, However this is not just name mention here, Kerry Doole from The FYINews particularly wrote about the artists and the recognition and the honour he was given to at the night of the award ceremony, This information can not come from Award press release, It needs a journalist following the award closely and find a news notable to write about it. ^[19]

Fifthly, regarding " having his music featured in a museum production isn't a notability claim unless it's referenced to a review of the production in real media,", Here is a review of the production in the media ^[20]Nodet12000 (talk) 18:31, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, please note that you are not allowed to "vote" more than once in an AFD discussion. You can comment as many times as you wish, but you may not preface any of your followup comments with a bolded restatement of the keep vote you've already given. Followup comments are comments, not new votes.

Secondly, I already explained above why Roots Music Canada is not a notability-making media outlet. It is a blog, not an established publication — and even if it were an established publication, a person simply being included in a listicle is not notability-making coverage. And FYI Music News is also not a notability-making media outlet: it is a music industry PR newsletter, not a general market newspaper or magazine. So if you had already gotten Sina Bathaie over the notability bar on better sources than that, then you could use FYI to source a stray fact here and there — but you cannot assert that he is notable because of a short news blurb in FYI, because FYI is not a media outlet.

Thirdly, nobody said that conferences cannot be mentioned in the articles of people who have already cleared our notability standards on other accomplishments. But conferences do not in and of themselves make an artist notable — if an artist has so few valid notability claims that you have to lean on "he attended a music conference" as the reason he should have an article, then it doesn't accomplish that.

Fourthly, if Son & Image is not a blog, then how come its website is a WordPress blog whose front page is filled primarily with capsule reviews of stereo cables rather than any discernible evidence of journalism about anything? And "Toronto Grand Prix Tourist" is a Blogspot blog, not a real or notability-supporting media outlet.

You seem incredibly unclear on what counts as reliable sourcing for the purposes of a Wikipedia article, so let me spell it out for you. For a musician, what you have to show is coverage in national newspapers like The Globe and Mail or the National Post; major market daily newspapers on the order of the Toronto Star or the Montreal Gazette or the Vancouver Sun; the national (not local) news divisions of the television networks; Exclaim!, Canadian Musician, BeatRoute, Now, Voir and/or The Georgia Straight; and basically nothing else. Not Blogspot or WordPress blogs, not industry newsletters, not the self-published websites of directly affiliated people or entities. Coverage in the kinds of sources I just named, or no dice. Bearcat (talk) 20:52, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First Thanks for the input, sorry it wasn't meant as vote just to separate the paragraphs, The magazine Son & Image is published 6 times a year in print and distributed to Quebec, Ottawa Region and NB, it's ISNN number is 1488-5115 and it has more than 16 editors ^[21]. How can we be fair and include and reference to the article when it is in print specially when it is written by a prominent journalist ?, you can see the full PDF version of review here ^[22]

To Summarize, I did lots of research before deciding to write this article and the Notability criteria that I think artist passes is based on Wikipedia
WP:NMUSICOTHER "1- Is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable music sub-culture", Now the question is what are the publications devoted to World Music in Canada ? , I think it is our job as editors to fairly decide on that, since a particular music sub-genre might not appear on platform writing about main stream music. I think this artist with his review written at WholeNote Magazine, a prominent magazine in this genre, His review in French in Print version of son and image magazine by a well known music reviewer , His review on Niagara This Week, with him being talked about at CBC Radio Big City Small World a devoted world music radio program. and although I understand your argument for RootMusic, but that is one of the platform devoted to world music written by journalists, it is a go to place and this was a full page review of artist ^[23] (This was a new reference), I think all this along with his Nominations and other bits and pieces marginally passes him for Notability. However I respect whatever would be the opinion of the community, if you object please address how do you define the publications devoted to music sub-culture(World Music), What are they and how they are different from main stream publications Nodet12000 (talk) 16:38, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Delete This article is made up of trivial mentions or items in low-grade publications. I spent a while looking for sources, and all I could find is low-grade items. if there had been two or three examples of real significant coverage, I might have said keep, but I really saw no coverage with real substance.

It seems that you are from Montreal, Could you please help identify if the article and review written in French at Son & Image magazine is reliable source ? It says on their website that the magazine is published 6 times a year in print and distributed to Quebec, Ottawa and NB and has 16 editor [24] , The review seems also to be written by a prominent french music reviewer Dan Breham according to LeDevoir ^[25], I thought maybe someone who lives in that region and speaks French can confirm or deny the credibility of the source, Here is a link to the PDF ^[26] Thanks Nodet12000 (talk) 17:08, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The french Son et Image article is basically a short introductory bio, with the rest available in the printed version of the magazine. Even if it was a long profile, it would not be enough. The coverage through al sources is not on its face significant, as in

Thanks, I understand that part, I was not actually talking about proof of notability and weather it is enough, I wanted to learn simply that if the full profile article that is written in print considered a Reliable source according to Wikipedia by itself or as another user mentioned it is a unreliable worldpress blog and worthless, What do you think? . Nodet12000 (talk) 14:54, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's an average quality source. Not great, not terrible. By the way, you have made your positon very clear and it will probably not help to write much more about how you think he might be notable. The editors who generally vote at AfD nominations have looked at thousands of articles in aggregate. We understand what you are saying. That said, the thing that would help is if you find more sources that cover him in detail.

That's not true, I respect whatever would be the outcome and don't mind if it gets deleted, Those were healthy conversations and I was adding new references that hasn't been there before with respect to comments, It takes effort to create an AOC and is good to know the reason and logistic of opposing opinions, at this stage I added all references and added my summary above and have nothing more to add and respect whatever would be the consensus of the community.

Keep, Eagles247 claims that the list is Listcruft. According to Listcruft definition, "In general, a "List of X" stand-alone list article should only be created if X itself is a legitimate encyclopedic topic that already has its own article. The list should originate as a section within that article, and should not be broken out into a separate article until it becomes so long as to be disproportionate to the rest of the article." So this list can, in theory, be a sub section in the list of super bowl head coaches article, but because it would be to long and disproportionate, it warrants its own article. What is the entire purpose of playing in the NFL? Winning the Super Bowl. It is important for people to be able to tell what coaches have accomplished what. It's not trivial information. How many Super Bowls a coach has won is a measuring stick for a lot of people of their success in the NFL. Zdawg1029 (talk) 23:11, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to me the argument breaking out a list from an article that is too long is worthwhile consideration, but for me it doesn't overcome that this is more granular detail for such a list than is warranted for an encyclopedia. It's a good point.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:58, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment You people are out of your minds. Too trivial? How about this:
List of Super Bowl Records This is literally a page of stats, no content other than stats, hardy a place for encyclopedia material. ALL it is is a list of stats. How is this any better than the list of coaches? Very trivial information.

List of Super Bowl Officials In this useless article solely about what officials officiated a Super Bowl, there is a sub-section of what officials have done the most games. Sort of like the coach page where it says what active coaches have the most games. Other than that, this is a useless article that is nothing more than a LIST of officials that have done Super Bowls. Why is this even a page? Why is the page that just has all the current officials good enough? Now we have to point out which ones did Super Bowls? Who cares, they are only officials.

List of Super Bowl starting QB's Yet another article that is pretty much nothing more than a LIST! All of the information on this page is available on the teams own page, the games page, as well as others, so now we have to have a page dedicated to who started at QB for a game?

I can go on and on and on about other pages I see on Wikipedia that are similar to this. Whether you like the content of the coach page or not, it is worth keeping. Will you sleep better at night if this page is taken down? Does it effect your life in any way? And how is it hurting Wikipedia to be up here? It has been up for 7 years with no problems, and now you want to take it down? Why? Because you all think its too trivial? Yet you don't think other LISTS are too trivial? That is just playing Wiki God.Zdawg1029 (talk) 01:48, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (for now, as I'm not familiar/experienced enough with the criteria to make an effective policy-based !vote) As I mentioned a year ago at Talk:Active NFL head coach career Super Bowl history#Edits to table format (and attempted to fix, but was reverted), the article content was not actually what the title suggests. I haven't dug into it deeply enough to see the current status of the issues I mentioned, other than I see the coach names are still not in the first column and still not in surname order. Nobody other than Zdawg1029 and myself ever commented further to break the deadlock. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 19:21, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, For the love of Pete, look at other articles in the Super Bowl list category. I mean List of Super Bowl commercials !! Who cares? What importance is it to know what commercials ran for the last 50 years..... And Super Bowl counterprogramming, is it vital to know what obscure shows ran against the Super Bowls? This article is more informative as far as Super Bowl info goes. But, if you are to be consistent, at least nominate the others for deletion. Those articles are just useless information. At least this article gives good info about current coaches. Just my 2 cents worth. Thanks Spparky (talk) 01:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearian: If the source's reliability is arguable why should we keep it? I can see four sources, one of which is reliable but not good enough to prove notability. the other 3 sources are an interview, a blog and something that sounds much more as an advertise than anything else. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 09:32, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

None of the 4 references qualify as reliable secondary sources. The porn trade press articles are repackaged press releases. The gay.com article is consulting the subject as a contributor/guide for the local scene. The performer of the year cite is one of the studio's principals reporting an in-house award in his self-published blog. An independent search for RS coverage yields trivial mentions. • Gene93k (talk) 14:17, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify: The creator initially draftified it, but created an article without "finalizing" it. It should remain as draft until there are enough sources to become a standalone article. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 02:02, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Superastig, actually, the author has already moved it back into mainspace after someone else draftified it (due to the lack of sources and content), without adding any sources whatsoever. Draftification would allow them to do the same thing again and we'll have to have this discussion all over. GirthSummit _(blether) 06:03, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Girth Summit, then it's best that the author (and its IP address) should be blocked indefinitely for repeatedly removing the AfD template from the page. My vote still stands. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 07:27, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Superastig, I don't quite follow this chain of reasoning I'm afraid. Removing the AfD template isn't a good look, and the author will be blocked if they persist with it; my point is that last time the article was draftified, it was simply moved back into article space by the original author, with none of the issues addressed. We don't host unsourced biographies of living people - especially not minors - not in draft space, user space or anywhere else.

GirthSummit _(blether) 07:36, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Girth Summit, alright then. It's given that she's currently one of the leading ladies in an afternoon hit series. Here are among the sources I found: [21], [22], [23] and [24]. Those sources are indeed reliable (I should know). ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 07:51, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Superastig, the two GMA Network links are affiliated sources - they're advertising an upcoming star on their own network. PEP.ph is a celebrity gossip mag, speculating on the love life of a fourteen-year-old girl. The Journal.com.ph is a short interview (so primary), and it's with five people - Pablo gets a single sentence in that - a passing mention. None of these come close to establishing notability, or even supporting any content that we could add to a BLP. GirthSummit _(blether) 09:08, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Girth Summit, OK. I'll disregard the PEP.ph. But, there seems to be a lot of coverage when I search her name. The links from GMA Network and Journal.com.ph talk about her. Therefore, they are really notable enough for the subject to be kept. I rest my case. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 09:45, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, if you're thinking of arguing with me any further, don't bother responding. I already explained enough as I'm not looking for an argument. So, I won't reply anymore. My vote stands no matter what. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 09:45, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

independent? This is the opening sentence of the GMA Network piece: Sofia Pablo is one of GMA Network's most promising tween actresses. They are advertising their own content and stable of talent - it conveys no notability whatsoever. The journal.com.ph source is the briefest of passing mentions in an puffy interview - it doesn't even approach significant coverage. Out of all the hits you are getting on Google, can you point to a single independent, secondary and reliable source that gives the subject significant depth of coverage?

Anime series are usually notable per
WP:GOOGLEHITS arguments...). Frankly, I have trouble verifying this show even existed under this name in 2001 (also, even this year is problematic, some dates in the article as well as [25] suggest year 2000 might be more correct). The best source I can find is [26] but it is not reliable, and in the end, we are not a catalogue of every show or such, only ones which got some reception/notability and as I said, I am not seeing a hint this one got it. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:15, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

Comment - It actually does have an article on the Japanese Wikipedia, if you search under its Japanese name, here. However, a quick google translate shows that the sources its using there are pretty bad (mostly just on individual toys, and mostly just using primary sources), so they don't really help make the case for notability. Rorshacma (talk) 14:49, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per
WP:NTV
, which says "Generally, an individual radio or television program is likely to be notable if it airs on a network of radio or television stations (either national or regional in scope), or on a cable television channel with a broad regional or national audience." This show aired in Japan in 2000, and aired on Fox in 2001-2002 as part of the Fox Kids programming block. The nomination mentions "reception", but the actual rationale that Piotrus offers for deletion is "this could be a season of something larger or some kind of mistake." It is very easy to find sources that confirm that the show existed and aired in the US.
To start with, there's the source currently being used in the article, from Business Wire (Sept 5, 2001): "TRANSFORMERS ROBOTS IN DISGUISE Returns! Hasbro Launches Product Line Based on Original '80s Theme; Fox Kids Series to Debut September 8th."

Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949-2003 by Hal Erickson (2005): "Of the subsequent Japanese Transformers derivations, two had been broadcast Stateside before the end of 2003. The first of these was Transformers: Car Robots, retitled Transformers: Robots in Disguise when it ran on Fox from 2001 through 2002."

The Hollywood Reporter, "Transformers' TV Franchise Returns to Cartoon Network" (October 7, 2014): "Transformers: Robots in Disguise, not to be confused with the 2001 series of the same name..."

Starlog Magazine, "Robots in Disguise" (July 2007): "In 2000, the Japanese unleashed the new cel-animated Transformers: Car Wars [sic]... imported here as Transformers: Robots in Disguise."

Adweek, "A People's History of Transformers Cartoons" (Feb 23, 2015): "The last TF cartoon on broadcast tied in to a hodgepodge of foreign-market-first toys and was distributed by the now-defunct Saban. The redubbed Japanese show debuted just in time for 9/11."

Newspapers.com has TV listings showing that Transformers: Robots in Disguise aired nationally on Fox from 2001 to 2002.

Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia has significant coverage of the show and demonstrates notability, as does the Business Wire article. The others are passing mentions that I'm listing just to demonstrate that the show aired nationally in the US, which is enough to pass
WP:NTV. I don't have sources here about reception, but per NTV, we kind of are "a catalogue of every show" that airs nationally on a major network. — Toughpigs (talk) 15:08, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

Chiswick Chap, I don't think I understand the opinion you voiced here. First, notability is supposed to be determined by considering ALL the available references, not just the ones already included in the article. You arent saying you based your delete solely on the references the article used, when you left your opinion, are you? Second, who do you think said we should rely on wikidocuments as sources? Of course that would be a mistake, but I am afraid you misread Epluribusunumyall's comment if that is what you thought they said. Pointing at wikidocuments that summarize your position is what people do in our discussions, and it is all that epluribus was doing. Don't you agree WP:WikiProject Hospitals/Tutorials#Finding sources has very good advice?

Keep - it is a separate entity from the London Health Sciences Centre. it is the only pediatric facility in metro london ontario, the 11th largest metro area in Canada. There are only 14 children's hospitals in Canada with articles. "Children's Hospital pediatric neurologist Andrea Andrade, right, with 14-year-old Ethan, the first pediatric epilepsy patient in Ontario to undergo a robot-assisted brain surgery to place electrodes in his brain."[30] Grmike (talk) 13:18, 28 April 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]

Reply It is not a separate entity nor a freestanding children's hospital, it is the same building. It is basically just pediatric wards of the London Health Sciences Centre. Andrew nyr (talk, contribs) 03:17, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - this nomination contains the counter-policy assertion "Notability of article is established from sources provided". No. Articles should be judged on the underlying notability of the topic. We are supposed to keep weak articles when the underlying topic is notable. Such weak articles are supposed to be improved, not deleted.

The nominator went on to write they "see a lack of both sources and information for this article. Searches for sources reveal limited findings." Okay, and I am going to do my best to be tactful in informing nominator that a large number of our articles have names that defeat naive google searches. I am working on an essay on this phenomenon. When complying with BEFORE is not straighforward. The google news search term "Children's Hospital" "Health Sciences Centre" London Ontario produced 1180 hits - definitely not the "limited findings" nominator claimed. Geo Swan (talk) 00:46, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I'd put snow keep, on the grounds of a flawed nomination, if there hadnt been that single delete. Even weak articles required meaningful effort, and we aren't going to be able to continue to build a good wikipedia if impatient people try to delete every article they don't like, without regard to whether the underlying topic is notable. Many people respect the Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup essay. Geo Swan (talk) 01:53, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, the delete opinion has been reverted, so I am stating a snow keep. Geo Swan (talk) 20:14, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator justifies deletion on the assertion the Hospital is in the same building as another hospital. From 1922 to 2007 it was housed in this building.

Comment If not delete, this article should definitely be merged with London Health Sciences Centre being that it is the same building and basically the same topic? What am I missing here, some of the references listed don't even mention the children's hospital by name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew nyr (talk • contribs)

Keep I am getting a number of historical newspaper hits such as [31], there was a populated camp at the river crossing with that name [32], and a populated trading post before 1911 [33] which was apparently founded in 1852 [34]. Passes
WP:GEOLAND as a historic populated place. SportingFlyer T·C 03:53, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

Also, it doesn't look like it's been referred to as Fresno Crossing in years, but we don't require places to be currently inhabited. SportingFlyer T·C 03:58, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SportingFlyer: I'm not sure it was ever legally recognized, so does the depth of those articles contribute anymore than mentions to meet GNG? It mentions a trading post and that it once had an estimated population of 65 individuals, but that is all pretty common for what were mostly just mining camps along all the streams in that area. Some of the mining camps had centers (such as those that eventually merged into the town of Coarsegold, California). But agreed, if it ever was a place, it has not been since what appears to be the 1930s as the last mentions of an existing place. If the article is deemed to meet GNG, then it should at least be updated to reflect that is a historical entity like Newton's Crossing. The current community is considered part of Coarsegold, and the current common name would not be "Fresno Crossing". Yosemiter (talk) 16:50, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, our notability guidelines for places are very low, we've kept camps before, and articles like [35], [36], [37], [38], [39] and [40] support the historic nature of the community. At the very least it should be merged into Coarsegold, but I think there's enough here for someone to write an interesting stub. I'm not suggesting for a moment this is a current place. (Interestingly, it does not appear on topo maps in the 1940s.) SportingFlyer T·C 00:44, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support as nominator. Tripp isn't notable other than being a victim of Tesla. The company or Tesla fanatics have an ugly history of attacking those they see as enemies. This article was created by a brand new account and seems to only tell the Tesla side of the story. Tripp was only in the news because after he tried to blow the wistle with respect to things he was concerned about, the company or those working behalf of the company went on the offensive.

Comment about merge: What is the target article? Several editors have suggested merging the content. I agree that, if neutrally presented, much of this content could be used elsewhere (TSLAQ, Tesla Inc etc). If there is a way to preserve the content (someone's sandbox?), for what it's worth, I think that's fine. It would be helpful if there was a suggested location for the merge. As a negative BLP about someone who at best hasn't been convicted of any wrong doing and at worst is really a concerned whistle blower who has been attacked by Tesla et al this as a stand alone article should not exist.

Delete The one source listed is not even about this, but an off hand source about a tree one type of trolls is similar to. This article has existed for 16 years, and yet has no real sources. It is written way too much in universe, and lacks the real world contextualizing we would need for this article. This article belong on a fan wiki, not on Wikipedia. To be fair, in 2004 especially Wikipedia had been hijacked and turned into a fan Wiki. We have just in the last year begin to cut out some of these excessive fan coverage, right sizing our number of Silmarilian character biographies, cutting back a little on Narnia place articles, and cutting back on comic book superhere articles and D&D character articles, but we still have lots and lots of unneeded fancruft.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:28, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a non-notable writer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (nominator) There may be more sources than I initially found. If the source The Street is generally deemed reliable, then this article from 2000 might count for notability. And though Lent is not the primary topic of the article, he get over five paragraphs about him as an individual and his research in this recent Vice piece. These articles may still not pass standards, and I'd be curious to hear thoughts on the matter. From my perspective, it would be narrow. Jlevi (talk) 22:09, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now that I've looked at the sourcing so far, I would appreciate Draftify or User-ify if the consensus goes for delete. Given that Lent has coverage both from his NextCredit days in the NYT and more recently regarding some climate-related issues, this is probably sustained coverage, and I think it's probable that I could find more sourcing if I dig. In particular, mention of the NextCredit story in the NYT means that there is probably more coverage is lower-tier or local papers, though (since it's from the early 2000s) I'll need to dig for it. Right now the sourcing isn't evident, but it might be soon. 14:16, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, your mistake is the assumption that only one guideline can apply to a collaboration. In the course of my legal career, I happen to have represented a couple of groups in various genres of music, and it may or may not surprise you to learn that most rock bands and rap groups are technically corporations. They have a corporate form drawn up to govern their commercial activities and distribute their profits, and file fictitious entity paperwork with the state that serves as their base of operations. However, it would not occur to most people to apply
WP:CREATIVE applies to them as a basis for notability no less than it does to a music ensemble. If we were talking about a band named Jakob + MacFarlane with an otherwise identical corporate structure, would NCORP even occur to you as an applicable guideline?

Successful rock bands may also have some number of full-time employees (i.e. non-musicians who handle promotional tasks, maintain instruments, etc.), although the lines can get very blurry there. Here, the entity has received some recognition for its creative work, as an entity. However, to avoid stretching the comparison too far, I am also reasonably satisfied that this entity has received sufficient coverage in relevant sources. BD2412 T 17:53, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No problem although you'll find that NCORP further explains the precise requirements of "sufficient coverage" and if you can point to *any* reference containing in-depth information *on the company* I would appreciate it. I've posted the question at this Talk page and posted a link to that at the NCORP Talk page. I think this question is an important one and it (and related questions) regularly crop up in one form or another (for example, should music labels fall under WP:MUSIC rather than NCORP) at AfD where the topic is a company and NCORP should apply.

Total qualifying sources 0 Lack of qualifying sources to meet the notability requirements

I do not have direct experience with private equity or venture capitals so members of the Private Equity WikiProject Task Force might help answer their own questions for establishing notability: 1) Has this firm or investor completed any notable investments? 2) Is this an "emerging manager"? 3) How much capital does this firm / investor manage? 4) Does a firm / investor have an institutional investor base? Thanks!

The article notes:
Since the end of March, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been trumpeting a study by the little-known “Deep Knowledge Group” that claims Israel is the safest country in the world in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. Amid repeated efforts by journalists, scientists, politicians and concerned social media users to question and even debunk the study, Netanyahu has continued to cite it on prime-time television as well as on his official website and social media feed.
Not only does the study fail to reveal the data or methodology it used, but the people behind it also have strikingly unusual career histories. The Times of Israel has dug further into the founders of the “Deep Knowledge Group” and discovered a San Francisco-based medical expert with an extraordinary resumé who reportedly has run a firm offering private intelligence services to foreign governments; a failed Russian banker who advises the Moldovan president on the economy; and a bizarre Russian movement to prolong the human lifespan.
...
The Times of Israel published an article on April 8 revealing that Deep Knowledge Group was a Hong Kong investment capital firm owned by a Moscow- and London-based businessman named Dmitry Kaminskiy with business interests in the fintech, blockchain and “longevity” industries. In mid-2015, Kaminskiy bought the Russian “Interactive Bank” and announced in interviews in the Russian media that he would invest $1 billion in the bank to make it the best in the world using artificial intelligence technology. A year later, the bank was bankrupt and its license had been revoked.
Days later, Prof Yitzhak Ben-Israel, head of the Security Studies program in Tel Aviv University, derided (Hebrew link) the site’s findings as “the mother of fake news,” stressing that the rankings were not formal, official or credible.

Deep Knowledge Ventures

On 13 May 2014, a press release from Deep Knowledge Ventures, a Hong Kong-based venture capital fund specializing in biotechnology, age-related disease drugs and regenerative medicine projects, announced that it ‘formally acknowledges VITAL, a crucial Artificial Intelligence instrument for investment decision-making, as an equal member of its Board of Directors’.
VITAL was the product of Aging Analytics UK, a provider of health-sector market intelligence to pension funds, insurers and governments. Developed by ‘a team of programmers, several of which have theoretical physics backgrounds’, the system ‘uses machine learning to analyze financing trends in a database of life science companies and predict successful investments’. VITAL 1.0 was a ‘basic algorithm’, but the goal was ‘through iterative releases and updates ... to create a piece of software that is capable of making autonomous investment decisions’ (Fontaine 2014). Apparently, however, Deep Knowledge Ventures thought VITAL was already pretty good: it told reporters the program would ‘vote on whether to invest in a specific company or not’ (BBC 2014).
All this sounded very futuristic. As commentators quickly pointed out, however, it was really ‘publicity hype’ (BBC 2014). This was not because decision-making algorithms are impossible, but, on the contrary, because their use, often in forms far more complex than VITAL, is commonplace in today’s capitalism. Such programs are, for example, central to the operations of the financial sector, whose high-speed multi-billion trades are entirely dependent on algorithms – and whose bad decisions brought the world economy to its knees in the great Wall Street crash of 2008. The press release was a stunt because the future to which it seemed to point exists now.
...
The same-day news of the algorithmic boss-entity and the mine disaster was coincidence. Yet it condenses paradoxes and contradictions central to this book. For a start, it starkly highlights the coexistence within contemporary capitalism of extraordinary high-technologies and workers who live and die in brutal conditions often imagined to belong in some antediluvian past. This coexistence is also a connection. Mines and artificial intelligences seem to belong to different worlds, but they are strongly linked. Although only a small part of production at Soma went to power plants, similar coal mines around the planet provide – at appalling, biosphere-endangering environmental cost – the basic energy source on which all digital technologies depend: electricity.

The article notes:
In May 2014 Deep Knowledge Ventures – a Hong Kong venture-capital firm specialising in regenerative medicine – broke new ground by appointing an algorithm called VITAL to its board. VITAL makes investment recommendations by analysing huge amounts of data on the financial situation, clinical trials and intellectual property of prospective companies. Like the other five board members, the algorithm gets to vote on whether the firm makes an investment in a specific company or not.
Examining VITAL’s record so far, it seems that it has already picked up one managerial vice: nepotism. It has recommended investing in companies that grant algorithms more authority. With VITAL’s blessing, Deep Knowledge Ventures has recently invested in Silico Medicine, which develops computer-assisted methods for drug research, and in Pathway Pharmaceuticals, which employs a platform called OncoFinder to select and rate personalised cancer therapies.

The book notes:
Back in 2014, the media reported that Deep Knowledge Ventures, a Hong Kong-based venture capital firm, had appointed an algorithm named Vital (Validating Investment Tool for Advancing Life Sciences) to its board of directors. According to these reports, the algorithm was given the right to "vote on whether the firm makes an investment in a specific company or not", just like the other—human—members of the board. Vital was appointed because of its ability to "automate due diligence and use historical datasets to uncover trends that are not immediately obvious to humans surveying top-line data". For instance, Vital helped to approve two investment decisions, namely those to fund Insilico Medicine, an enterprise which develops computer-assisted methods for drug discovery in aging research, and Pathway Pharmaceuticals, which selects and rates personalized cancer therapies on the basis of a platform technology. Despite this impressive track record, Vital admittedly was not yet artificially intelligent in the proper sense. In fact, the algorithm will soon have to retire, since a much more intelligent Vital 2.0 is due to be launched in the near future. Moreover, Vital was initially not granted an equal vote on all financial decisions made by the company. Legally speaking, it has not even acquired the status of corporate director under the corporate laws of Hong Kong. It is simply treated as "a member of [the] board with observer status" by its fellow (human) directors. Nevertheless, Vital has been acknowledged as the "world's first artificial intelligence company director".

This wasn’t the first time that Netanyahu shared research by Deep Knowledge Group. In the beginning of April, Netanyahu shared a chart claiming that Israel conducts more coronavirus tests per capita than any other country.
The problem is that the chart referred to a short snapshot in time, and that in reality, as everyone in Israel knows, the country has consistently failed to scale up its testing due to poor management, lack of materials, and a failure to recognize early on in the crisis that tests are an essential tool needed to get the country back to work (we will get back to that below).

早在 2014 年，人工智能对公司法的挑战已隐隐若现。研究生物科技与再生医学的英国公司 Aging Analytics 于 2014 年 5 月宣布，启用一款名为 VITAL(Validating Investment Tool for Advancing Life Sciences)的人工智能工具，并授权香港的风投公司 Deep Knowledge Ventures 将该人工智能用作该公司的投资委员。在被记者问及为何采用这一人工智能时，Deep Knowledge Venture 的高级合伙人卡明斯基(Kaminskiy)称，人会受情感左右，有主观情绪，会犯错误，但 VITAL 这样的机器只会用逻辑思维，不可能因为一时意气出错。人类投资者的直觉和机器的逻辑性相结合，会打造一支完美的团队，将错误的风险降低到最小。〔1〕VITAL 入场后，已经帮助公司批准了两项投资:一个是在抗衰老医药领域开发计算机辅助方法的 Silico Medicine，另一个是使用选择个人化抗癌治疗方法的 Pathway Pharmaceuticals。Aging Analytics 公司声称，VITAL 在投资委员会和其他委员是平等的。事实上， VITAL 在当时虽然冠以“投资委员”之名，但实际上并非对任何的投资都享有跟其他委员同等的表决权。而且，根据香港公司法的规定，VITAL 也无法获得“董事”地位。因此，Aging Analytics 公司的其他委员认为，将之视为投资委员会的“观察员(observer)”可能更为适当。
VITAL 的出现，实质上引出一个更深层次的问题:公司法与人工智能的相遇将会擦出何种火花? VITAL 可能被视为公司的董事，也可能被视为公司董事决策的辅助(即观察员)，但不管是哪一种情形，均会导致公司法语境的一连串追问:如果 VITAL 被视为董事，则传统公司法关于董事的相关规则(比如董事义务规则)是否仍然适用?如果不能适用，应当如何重构?如若 VITAL 不被视为董事，而仅仅是被视为董事决策的辅助手段，则这种辅助性工具是否也受到公司法的规约?如董事因听信 VITAL 所作出的决策导致公司利益受损，VITAL 本身是否应当承担责任?无生命无感情之 VITAL 又该承担何种责任，才能与其行为与身份相匹配?凡此种种，无疑均会对公司法造成挑战与冲击。

The article notes:
epuis le 13 mai 2014, il est le sixième membre du conseil d’administration de la société hongkongaise Deep knowledge ventures, ou DKV. Il n’a pas besoin de porter cravate et costume de grand ponte. Il s’appelle Vital, d’un acronyme que les autres têtes d’œuf du conseil ont sans doute oublié mais qui en dit beaucoup sur le sens de sa présence au sommet de cette entreprise de capital-risque des secteurs de la lutte contre le cancer, la médecine régénérative et les traitements personnalisés : « Outil de validation pour les investissements dans la recherche scientifique » . Vital n’a pas le physique de l’emploi : c’est un algorithme. Plus aucune décision d’investissement, néanmoins, n’est aujourd’hui prise par DKV sans qu’il n’ait voix au chapitre. Car le robot, pour peu qu’on le nomme ainsi comme l’ont fait la plupart des journalistes ayant chanté sa finesse d’analyse autant que sa puissance de calcul, est un incorruptible. Sa promotion, son crédit au sein du pool de décideurs de Deep knowledge ventures, il les doit à sa neutralité. À la rigueur toute mathématique de ses avis sur les sociétés candidates à la manne financière. Mais cette absence de subjectivité n’est-elle pas un leurre ? Même autonome dans l’exercice quotidien de sa mission, une machine programmée par des humains peut-elle être considérée comme neutre ? Et infaillible ? Car Vital pourrait se tromper et soutenir un investissement nuisible.
Et si cet algorithme réussissait un jour à convaincre les cinq autres membres de son conseil d’administration d’investir dans une startup se présentant de façon crédible comme spécialisée dans la lutte contre le vieillissement, mais dirigée en sous-main par une bande de djihadistes cherchant des fonds pour l’immortel Allah ? Vital pourrait-il être tenu pour responsable de l’erreur de casting ? Faudrait-il incriminer la société DKV, juridiquement propriétaire de ce logiciel ô combien supérieur ? Ou ses prestataires et leurs sources d’information ? Ou bien se retourner contre le concepteur de Vital, cette mécanique qu’on croyait pourtant si intelligente?

La organización anunció que Vital ya ha realizado dos predicciones exitosas.
Aunque hasta ahora no ha tenido voto, el robot ya ayudó a aprobar las inversiones hechas en la compañía Silico Medicine que desarrolla métodos por computadora para descubrir fármacos en el campo del envejecimiento. La segunda inversión fue hecha en la firma Pathway Pharmaceuticals que usa una plataforma llamada OncoFinder para seleccionar y calificar terapias personalizadas contra el cáncer.

Hong Kong-based investment firm Deep Knowledge Ventures made headlines in 2014 by appointing a computer algorithm to its corporate board. The firm, which has about 100 million euros under management, wanted a way to enforce a data-driven approach to investing, rather than relying on human intuition and personal interactions with founders. Managing partner Dmitry Kaminskiy says the algorithm served mostly as a veto mechanism—if it spotted red flags, Deep Knowledge wouldn’t invest.
In the five years since Deep Knowledge’s A.I. got its board seat, there hasn’t exactly been a stampede of companies following suit. In fact, Deep Knowledge itself shifted focus and no longer uses the algorithm. “Today, big strategy decisions are based on intuition”—that is to say, by humans—“because we have a data shortage,” says Brian Uzzi, a professor at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Firms simply don’t make enough of these major decisions to train an algorithm effectively.

The article notes:
DKV started as a traditional biotechnology fund, with a team of advisers and analysts using traditional methods for trend analysis and due diligence. But the biotech sector has a very high failure rate, with around 96% of drugs not successfully completing clinical trials.
...
DKV then acquired a team of specialists in the analysis of big data -- large data sets that can be analyzed by computers to reveal patterns. The team created Vital, the first artificial intelligence system for biotech investment analysis, enabling the fund to identify more than 50 parameters that were critical for assessing risk factors.
...
Vital showed that the probability of success was higher in the longevity subsector, which seeks to combat the effects of ageing, than in most other biotech subsectors.
...
DKV is currently working on Vital 2.0, which will be launched in the second half of 2017. Kaminskiy said the new system will have a much higher IQ due to increases in the quality of data available and further diversification of data sources. Vital 2.0 will integrate data from scientific literature, grants, patent applications, clinical trials and even the biographies of individual team members of companies in which DKV is interested.

Hong Kong based venture capital fund Deep Knowledge Ventures (DKV) “has appointed VITAL, a machine learning program capable of making investment recommendations in the life science sector, to its board.”
...
We're not going there because there's a strong whiff of stunt and/or promotion about this, not least because Hong Kong law, as Thomson Reuters points out here, in Hong Kong “The board comprises all of the directors of the company” and “A director must normally be a natural person, except that a private company may have a body corporate as its director if the company is not a member of a listed group.”
Unless VITAL is vastly more capable than described, it cannot be considered a “natural person”. So its “presence” on the board is cosmetic.
There's also the small matter of Directors' liabilities, which companies routinely insure against to to protect their Board members. Obtaining insurance for VITAL's pronouncements would be nigh-on impossible. Let's also ask what happens if VITAL is hacked: would that constitute the Directorial no-no of false and misleading communications? If VITAL crashed, would that constitute failure to disclose? Those questions come before we ponder whether VITAL has the ability to cast a vote, never mind raise its hand to show which way it has voted.
A stunt then, albeit an unsettling one: software is on the march and often challenges human expertise. At a guess, VITAL is what previous generations of business intelligence hype called an executive information system, a tool that offers high-level analysis of a business beyond purely operational matters. It's grand that DKV has put such a tool in its Directors' hands, but this software is no more a Board member than Caligula's horse was a senator.

There is virtually nothing about what this company does, what it's investments look like and so on. Nothing answers the questions posed by the above mentioned model which would identify this as a venture capital firm.

Also, according to the sources, there are two different names of companies we're talking about here. Deep Knowledge Ventures and Deep Knowledge Group. I went to website of Deep Knowledge Group and there is no information specifically about the company. There is only one page with links to a few of the articles posted here. It also advertises a book. There is no apparent connection to Deep Knowledge Ventures. In fact there is no connection to anything other than the few articles and book I just mentioned. The sources in the box created by
Ms4263nyu
also do not have articles that are about this company, under either name. So again, this is a fictitious company of some sort.

The AI program this outfit touted as a decision maker for investments was a publicity stunt and was not nearly as complex as what is in use today for automated-computerized trades. In any case, the AI program might be notable as a PR stunt, because that has been somewhat written about. The self-serving study, not backed by Forbes magazine, touting Israel as safest during the pandemic, might be marginally notable. Forbes actually distanced itself from the study and the blog post that published the outcome of the study. In fact, no relevant facts about the study itself have been revealed, such as methodology and data. Researchers and scientists cannot validate this study. So this is also pretty-much a bunch of fiction as it stands.

So again, what we have here is still

~~Keep~~ Delete After further digging among the sources, I agree with others that the company itself appears to fail the criteria for notability. The topic and the references show that it meets the criteria for notability. For example, there are two book references mentioned above ("Homo Deus - A Brief History of Tomorrow" and "Cyber-proletariat: Global Labour in the Digital Vortex") which both meet the criteria for references to establish notability. That said, there's probably some further editting required to highlight those parts containing "claims" made by the company which others have pointed out to be publicity hype. Most of what I've read about this company suggests it is mostly hype and PR - but it is still notable.

I understand what you are saying, but the coverage of this topic is trivial. The focus is on different subjects while mentioning this topic only in passing. Coverage is not really about this topic. And that is what is happening with the sources listed by Cunard - passing mention while briefly focusing on another topic. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 16:42, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I also understand what both you and Steve Quinn are saying but for me, while most of Cunard's references fail the criteria for establishing notability (Cunard often appears to ignore the NCORP guidelines and provides links based on interviews/quotations/announcements) the two book references meet the criteria. They both contain Independent Content and while they don't go into too much corporate detail, there is enough in each book to satisfy me that the criteria for establishing notability has been met. And just to add, I don't really care if it is a VC company and there are currently *no* guidelines specifically for VC companies. Most articles on VC companies I have seen at AfD *fail* the NCORP guidelines. There are others who would like to introduce specific guidelines for VC companies but as of today, NCORP is the only applicable guideline.

HighKing (talk · contribs), based on the sources I listed here, would you consider the computer algorithm VITAL (which stands for Validating Investment Tool for Advancing Life Sciences) to pass the notability guidelines? Deep Knowledge Ventures' coverage in reliable sources largely is from coverage of VITAL. I am considering creating an article about VITAL and then supporting redirection of Deep Knowledge Ventures to VITAL.

What I am noticing is an amalgamation of different stuff mashed together via these sources. There is the AI program, there is some coverage that it is a PR gimmick, and some coverage that it is not as sophisticated as what is already out there in the investment world. Then, there is the study, there is the drama of the blog post that posted supposed results of the study, Forbes stating it is not connected to Forbes, and there is PM Netanyahu. Then I see mere passing mention of Deep Knowledge [whatever]. All these have been mashed together into this Wikipedia article. It looks like significant coverage but its not. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 16:42, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

comment, My initial concern about this article was the promotional content. Cunard and I edited extensively the article and now the lack of the credibility of both the company and its funders is quite clear. So perhaps it's better if we keep the article as it neutralizes the PR machine behind the 2 hypes described in the page. Having said that, the article must be rewritten and copy edited. In addition, long citations, missing reference and PR language must be cleaned up. The references to DKG (a consortium) and DKV (Venture Capital) are very confusing. I think the article should be related to DKG (the Group/Consortium) and DKV (Venture Capital) redirected to DKG.

Delete: the sourcing falls far short of that expected by the minimum requirements of NCORP, and a WP:BEFORE search brings up nothing apart from the SPS, etc., already discussed.

Redirect to
Deep Knowledge Ventures
and did a substantial expansion. Here is the lead of the new article:
VITAL (Validating Investment Tool for Advancing Life Sciences) is a machine learning proprietary software whose appointment to a company's board of directors was considered by commentators to be a publicity stunt.^[1] Florian Möslein, a law professor at the University of Marburg, wrote in 2018 that "Vital has widely been acknowledged as the 'world's first artifical intelligence company director'".^[2] Deep Knowledge Ventures, a Hong Kong-based venture capital firm, said it appointed the algorithm to its board in 2014 to conduct machine learning analysis of a substantial amount of data such as intellectual property, financial statements, and clinical trials, and to help the human board members make investment decisions in biotechnology companies.
Commentators viewed VITAL's board appointment with skepticism. University of Sheffield computer science professor Noel Sharkey called it "a publicity hype".^[3] Michael Osborne, a University of Oxford associate professor in machine learning, found it is "a gimmick to call that an actual board member".^[4] Simon Sharwood of The Register, wrote there is "a strong whiff of stunt and/or promotion about this".^[5] In a 2019 speech, the Chief Scientist of Australia, Alan Finkel, commented, "At the time, most of us probably dismissed Vital as a PR exercise. I admit, I used her story three years ago to get a laugh in one of my speeches."^[6]
Vice journalist Jason Koebler concluded "there is literally nothing to suggest that VITAL has any sort of capabilities beyond any other proprietary analysis software".^[7] Sharwood of The Register determined that as VITAL was not a natural person, it could not be a board member under Hong Kong's corporate governance laws.^[5]

Comment Disagree with Redirect. There is no valid reason to use this as a redirect. There is nothing in here that proves the existence of this company. It seems like a hoax. It doesn't have to exist for PM Netanyahu to quote the results of study that has no substance, and which it was journalists who connected to this company, but tentatively. I mean if journalists can't uncover substantial information about a company, then we surely have no way of knowing. We rely on journalists for our reliable sourcing to produce our articles.

Comment same here. I disagree with Redirect. In the new article I find unnecessary and unsubstantial the references to the Venture Capital (DKV) and its founder (check the reasons why mr Kamisky’s personal article on Wikipedia has been delete few times and now it is blocked). The new article is uncritical and sounds promotional at best, the pseudo algorithm was just a PR stunt. Was the algorithm ever implemented by anyone beyond this mysterious venture capital?

Comment: I did a selective merge of
Deep Knowledge Ventures to VITAL (machine learning software)
for these reasons:

Wikipedia:Editing policy#Try to fix problems notes that "Instead of removing content from an article, consider" merging as an alternative to deletion.

Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion lists "merging" as an alternative to deletion.

I support a redirect of
Deep Knowledge Ventures to VITAL (machine learning software)
for these reasons:

Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion#Reasons for not deleting says, "They have a potentially useful page history, or an edit history that should be kept to comply with the licensing requirements for a merge (see Wikipedia:Merge and delete)." This page has both a useful page history and an edit history that should be kept to comply with the licensing requirements for a merge.

Wikipedia:Redirect#Purposes of redirects says, "Reasons for creating and maintaining redirects include" "Sub-topics or other topics which are described or listed within a wider article."

Deep Knowledge Ventures is the venture capital firm that said it appointed VITAL (machine learning software) to its board of directors. Deep Knowledge Ventures is briefly discussed in the VITAL article so VITAL is a reasonable title to redirect readers to.

None of the reliable sources say Deep Knowledge Ventures or VITAL are hoaxes. VITAL is notable not for being a software program but for being the centerpiece of a publicity stunt by Deep Knowledge Ventures. Multiple reliable sources have advanced this view, so I wrote VITAL (machine learning software) to reflect this position in the reliable sources.
Cunard (talk) 04:58, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please note the amount of ivote deletes, delete redirect, and so on, each with its own rationale. Also, note the commentary about the non-company, with much leaning towards a hoax and failing notability, so on. Cunard has been unable to effectively counter overwhelming support for delete.

Also, Cunard's favorite trick to have the last post in any given AfD, so the closer sees this as no counter-argument. This is conjuction with posting a blizzard of weak sources. This behavior is not based on adding actual independent secondary sourcing that significantly covers the topic, or accepting that is an unsolvable problem and the page needs to go.

This seems to be an effort to circumvent content guidelines and policies. Cunard's most recent post is unconvincing and overall mis-represents a number of productive editors interpretation of the available sources. The sourcing seems to indicate there is a good chance that this subject is a hoax, and that is one of the interpretations of a number of editors.

There is no significant coverage of this topic. There is some coverage of other topics. That has been said before. However, the point is, the number of editors that support this view. In contrast, Cunnard's view is hardly supported at all in this AfD. Finally, Cunnard inappropriately moved content from this article to the other he just created.

So if this goes to redirect - well viola - fictitious coverage of this fictitious company is there. And if the redirect is deleted - well that content is still in the other article - via so-called "a selective merge".

Sorry, but that is hardly a selective merge and it does not support the decision of the consensus of this AfD (
WP:CPP). I just want to state it for the record. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 07:37, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Deep Knowledge Ventures is difficult to establish since almost all of the sources are about VITAL, its software and publicity stunt.
Following Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion, I created VITAL (machine learning software) because the notability case is much easier to establish.

HighKing wrote the sentence about VITAL and GNG after I created the article. My intent was not to say HighKing told me "to create a new article before the AfD was completed". My intent was to say I hoped that after I
boldly created the new article, I could show to AfD participants like HighKing the depth of coverage and analysis that VITAL has received. Cunard (talk) 09:20, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply
]

Just to clarify. All my opinion. Under NCORP, the article on the company (here at AfD) does not meet the requirements for notability because there are insufficient references that meet the criteria for establishing notability as per NCORP. While reading the various references and searching I came across many references that referred to VITAL - whether to comment that it was, perhaps, a PR stunt - or to comment on whether some software could be appointed to the board - or to comment on whether this was a starting point for a future whereby decisions would involve using AI. There are certainly multiple sources that discuss VITAL in this way and these sources (again, in my opinion) meet the criteria for notability. I am not relying on WP:SOFTWARE but on WP:GNG - my reasoning is that even thought VITAL is AI software, its notability is the context of usage rather than any other aspect such as features or effects. I have not read Cunards new article so I am not commenting on the specifics of whatever new article has been written. But I do not see any reason why Cunard could not write a new article on this topic so long as the emphasis is on VITAL (and not the company or founder, etc) and that it highlights (from citations/references) the reasons for notability.

The company then went back into obscurity. Isreali PM seems to have mentioned thier name once in his tirade like speech. If we analyze the company or group or whatever they actually are, we will see that even thier address is not available. What proof do we have of thier existence?
