- Purplebackpack89, I'm sorry that I appear to be badgering you, and I was conscious that it might come across that way when I responded. I decided to go ahead anyway because I find the two responses to this nom so far surprising - they don't seem to be responding to the problems I raised (lack of sources and no demonstration of notability). That is why I'm challenging you.

- Send it to ConanWiki: this is an inordinate level of detail for Wikipedia, and an excellent level of detail for Wikia. I can add the content to Wikia if needed, with URL attribution (maybe even a list of editors).

I also believe the rest of the content is a good fit for Wikia and I'll look at adding it there, whether or not the content is kept here. — Bilorv (talk) 01:03, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - the state of the article isn't good, however I believe this is an essentinal part of the show. I also don't understand the "send to Wikia" argument. If I'd wanted to read something on Wikia and get spammed with ads, I'd go there. There is a reason I and others like me, rather read here. Now for the notability part. It's kind of hard asking to get online(!) sources for something 20 years ago, however here are a few I found in 10 minutes of searching: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. Sure, not the best sources, some might not be valid RS, but again, we are talking about a sub-topic of something that was 20 years ago. I'm also sure there are more RS dealing with this subject in print from the time. --Gonnym (talk) 22:09, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

You're free to go wherever you want, but my reasoning is that (a) this content is not suitable for Wikipedia and (b) it would be a shame to delete it when it's clearly an enjoyable resource to some. Now you've added some sources, keeping the article looks plausible to me, but it would need to be absolutelyindiscriminate info (which lists "Summary-only descriptions of works" as its first example, and that's exactly what this list is). — Bilorv (talk) 23:14, 8 January 2020 (UTC)]- talk) 23:18, 8 January 2020 (UTC)]
- I understand your perspective but after a bit of reflection, I disagree. Gonnym has shown to my satisfaction that there are enough sources for a stand-alone list—though the articles about the shows should definitely have critical reception in them—but that list should only cover sketches with secondary source coverage, not the enormous list there is at present. — Bilorv (talk) 01:03, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

- Comments: WOW! The article has been tagged since 2008-09 which includes an WP:OR tag. The state of the article is horrendous. A problem I have (there are really more than one) is that many of the "Keep" !votes, such as "an important part of Conan O'Brien's former talk shows", or "Plausible content fork of Late Night" are not remotely policy or guideline based. The one argument listing references, so more valid, is provided by Gonnym, that has swayed at least two other editors.
- The reliable sources" and]) and everything from the "Late Night sketches appearing on Tonight" section to the "Coked up Werewolf" subsection of the "Late Night sketches" section is unsourced.
"... it is especially important that inclusion be based on reliable sources given with inline citations for each item.
". The article was created without using any episodes (only a few tagged with [episode needed - The first source provided here is titled The 20 best Conan O'Brien late-night bits. The top 10 certainly has coverage and the "Masturbating Bear" could likely have a stand alone article. While I tend to think there is notability for "a list" (sub-topic) somewhat like this, "this list" has an issue with notability especially considering the criteria that includes sourcing.
- This is not really complicated. The tags from 2008-09 mean that some attention is long overdue. If it is kept, as it appears it could be, will it be on a future AFD list? If it remains as "keep as is" it likely will be. Even if the provided extra sources are vetted and "all" are found reliable, that will not put a dent in the unsourced material. The "tipping point"may very well be it needs completely rewritten, because "the damage is beyond fixing", and possibly limited to something like the "twenty" that is sourced. I do agree with Gonnym that there maybe more sources "out there" but that is not really a good enough reason to keep such an large mostly unsourced list article (especially considering the tags) that flies in the face of several policies and guidelines.
- There is also a fallacy: "...for this to fail GNG, you have to prove that the COLLECTIVE concept of sketches are not notable.", is simply a non-true statement. The "collective concept of sketches" is not even a consideration. WP:GNG is concerning an individual topic, AND-- it is still "is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page.". Otr500 (talk) 19:51, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

- If he has an in depth article in the Guardian on top of the Athletic article and the Hockey Writers article I think he would pass GNG and then NHOCKEY would be moot. But the Guardian article I am finding is this, and I think I would want a little more before saying definitively that he passes GNG (although it at least brings him to borderline GNG pass).

- Keep Pinto is one of the top scorers for the current #1 ranked NCAA hockey program, North Dakota. And he was the #1 Center for the 2020 World Juniors USA team. That was enough to make me want to look him up on Wikipedia. Also he had a recent mention in the Athletic which is impressive: theathletic.com The Comic Book Guy 18:31, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment. Being mentioned in a list of prospects on The Athletic is very common. Here is a similar list of the first 107 picks of 2019. Every team has had about one paragraph written about every pick (eg Tampa Bay's picks go all the way to the 198th overall, Nashville's picks go to 210th, etc). If you go team-by-team on a dedicated sports website you'll find a roughly boilerplate paragraph on every player drafted, and the vast majority of them don't pan out.Citing (talk) 19:14, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nominator. Scouting reports for draft picks are extremely common through every round of the NHL draft (basically every player will have a paragraph written here or there regardless of notability) and the ones presented here are no exception . It's very possible he will make it to the pro leagues and meet the criteria of WP:NHOCKEY... but it's also very possible he won't and at the moment we're speculating.Citing (talk) 17:26, 12 January 2020 (UTC)]

- @Ejgreen77: Yes, #5 is a bit arbitrary. But where should the arbitrary line be? Certainly not every second round draft pick meets GNG, something like 60-70% ever play in the NHL. Almost all first round picks get coverage after the fact, mainly due to being the team's top selection (if it was their first pick anyways). No NSPORTS SNG is perfect, but that is why they are written to meet GNG, and the first round is easier to define then "first round draft pick if it was the team's first pick of the draft and then the top couple of spots in the second round..." IMO, this is one of those borderline notables. They have a few decent sources as a prospect, but they are limited to just that: his amateur career. I have no strong opinion on keep or delete at this time. Yosemiter (talk) 04:17, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

- Delete The USGS topo map "Picacho SW", from which the GNIS entry was sourced, shows "Nommel Place [site]" with no other typical symbol. Looking at the satellite images shows nothing today. Searching finds it listed here, so I presume this is an old burial site. Clearly not a populated place of any kind or a location that otherwise meets GNG.

- Weak Keep It's the location of John Nommels' historic farm and possibly his mining claim as well. Made it on the maps because that's the sort of thing that makes it onto a map in the wild west. I understand the problems with the GNIS database, but am mostly concerned about the false identification of subdivisions as notable and much less concerned about rural places, so I also see no reason not to add a sentence and leave this article be. [9] [10] [11] SportingFlyer T·C 23:42, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Having looked at a lot of old topo maps in AZ and elsewhere now, they put everything on them, including people's generic ranches, farms, "places" for a building, and grain elevators: look at how many are marked on just this one! All of which (like Lenzie Ranch) dutifully logged into the GNIS, though in WA correctly as locales. Something that merely happened in the past isn't "historic", which would be "well-known or important"; one of hundreds of "Legal advertisements" listing every deed transaction in the newspaper isn't either of those or notability-contributing. It's funny how newspapers back in those days listed all the random comings-and-goings of whoever, since Yuma only had 2,000-some residents: the same column with Nommel in [12] informs us that "F.F.

County attorneys are not inherently notable in the absence of sufficient reliable source coverage to demonstrate that they're much more notable than the norm for that level of prominence — such as either nationalizing coverage that expands far beyond just where it's merely expected to exist, or a depth of coverage that plainly goes deeper than the norm and contextualizes her importance. The sources here don't do that, however, but just redundantly (and locally) offer verification and reverification that she exists, which is not enough in and of itself.

- Comment - This is getting notability backwards, though. Sure, this event has the potential to become notable and warrant its own page in the future, but this AfD is over whether it’s notable now. If it’s not notable enough to have its own page now, this should be deleted. If notability is established later, then it would be appropriate to re-create a standalone article at that time (potentially using content off the Pickering Station page, if it continues to be updated about this incident). That is how notability works. If your argument is that maybe it could become notable later, that is a sign you agree the page meets the policy criteria for deletion.

This did happen, and is obviously notable enough to warrant mention somewhere in Wikipedia — but it doesn't clear the high bar needed to warrant its own standalone article separately from being discussed in the article on Pickering itself. Apart from possibly an internal adjustment of the emergency alert procedures to reduce the likelihood of a repeat occurence, this is not going to have any enduring long-term effects for the purposes of needing its own dedicated article. If the existence of sources automatically exempted a topic from having to have a reason why an encyclopedia article was warranted, we would have to keep an article about every house fire that ever happened.

- Comment Yes, I know, I just wanted to gauge others thoughts before. I have decided to focus on women pornographic-focused bios for a while, and I'm still getting my feelers out there regarding the subject. I'm so excited that the guidelines for WP:PORN have been deprecated. I didn't even know that was happening last Spring and I just think it's way better, and way more supportive, of women in the industry - and those who want, perhaps, disappear into obscurity. Missvain (talk) 16:00, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - I rewrote Midori's article. Sourcing is very interesting sometimes for pornographic actors, not always your typical mainstream coverage. While a few sources are interviews, I do think her historical significant is valuable in porn, women's history, and black history. Also she's consistent with her stories in multiple interviews, when I use oral history (and I do regularly, including when I was Wikipedian in Residence at the Smithsonian) that is something I look for - consistency. Oral history is invaluable in subjects where mainstream media might not be covering the subject. Also see WP:BASIC regarding the plethora of reliable secondary sources that we combined to create a substantial piece about her. Anyway, I hope Midori is kept!

- Sincere congratulations on your work on WP:PRIMARY.) We cannot be the ones who establish our own notibility in Wikipedia!

- -Repeated citations of an offline porn videoguide.
- - on blogs and "adult" websites (where every porn performer who can be reached is interviewed),
- -Interviews of her sister, Jody Watley, such as this on Ebony, in which our subject is name dropped.
- -Author David Foster Wallace visited the 2005 AVN event for his short story "Big Red Son" (which later appeared in the collection Consider the Lobster) and mentions there that our subject got a porn award.
- -A list from a website of "top" African American porn stars (where our subject ranks 11th)
- -A quite respectable British newspaper, The Guardian, is summoned to give evidence but all we get is a mention in its TV listings of the documentary Glamour Girlz about "black girls in porn", in which Midori is briefly mentioned & shown.
- -After the Guardian we get the New York Daily News where a small article appeared in 1997 about "Jody's sister doing porn" and how both girls' careers are "on the rise."
- -Hopes for a serious citation are rekindled with the link to the Los Angeles Times but the report is actually a movie review, and specifically about an "entertaining documentary on three exotic dancers," among whom is "Michele Watley."
- -The "sex & music" magazine Blender contains an article that describes Midori's claim to fame rather accurately: "Eagle-eyed fans can spot Midori among a trio of half-naked girls pleasuring Andrew Dice Clay on the cover of the Dice Man's 2000 album."
- -National Post had a 1999 article about our subject, adorned with an eye-candy photo, focusing on the porn-to-music angle. (The newspaper did not show any subsequent interest whatsoever. Neither did the other non-porn sources.)
- -In the very lengthy Spin piecededicated to Kid Rock, where the inevitable (name drop of our subject) happens again.
- -Mentions in routine listings, such as this, of music concerts.
- -CMJ New Music Monthly ran a piece in 1999 about the fad of rock bands getting porn stars in their videos "to portray that old rock and roll image". Our subject is mentioned among them.
- -The rest of the references are porn awards, listings, and write ups. But we have already and firmly established that our subject existed and worked for a time in the porn sector. (She probably would have failed WP:PORNBIO too, were it still in place.)

- Comment from article author
Hi PK650, I created this Wikipedia article for LJ Music. Please accept my apologies if there is something wrong with the page or I did not follow a specific Wikipedia rule or process. I've been an avid Wikipedia contributor for almost 10 years and have made hundreds of contributions and have created a bunch of pages for all types of people and organizations in the arts. I really hope this page does not get deleted because I feel it does warrant having its own page.
I read through your reasons for deleting her page. Thank you for taking the time to go through Wikipedia articles to ensure they are accurate and warranted! As a 10-year Wikipedia contributor, I strongly believe in ensuring Wikipedia is as accurate as possible :)
For your comments, are you suggesting that if a musician does not have an appearance in a chart that he or she should not be able to have a Wikipedia page? I don't necessarily agree with that requirement. I felt a Wikipedia article is justified for her for three key reasons.
First, LJ Music, from what I have found, is signed to a well-known record label/publishing company (RED Creative Group) that work with many reputable artists, which to me helps prove her reputation.
Second, from what I found, she has worked with, and appears to be currently working with, a bunch of well-known producers and songwriters who have been in the music industry a long time and have won many industry awards (such as Jeremy Stover, Paul DiGiovanni, Deana Carter, Monty Criswell, Kelly Archer, Sarah Buxton, and the Warren Brothers.)
And third, she has a bunch of credible third-party industry websites that have written about her, or mention her work, that satisfied Wikipedia's requirement to have verifiable sources. I felt these three reasons made her legit enough to have her own Wikipedia article, especially since she has songs that are live from those known individuals in the music industry. I don't think that just because she doesn't have a hit song that she should be disqualified for having a page?
Regarding PamD's comment, I can totally change the title. The only reason I chose "musician" rather than "singer" is because I have seen "musician" used in parenthesis all the time for musicians throughout my years contributing to Wikipedia. I was just trying to follow the same format and use the same verbiage I've seen other musicians used.
Do you agree with any of my reasonings? Would you feel more comfortable keeping the page if I found more information about her that increased her credibility? I understand anyone has the right to suggest a page for deletion on Wikipedia, but I was hoping my 10 years as a contributor, and the facts I've made hundreds of contributions over the years would help prove my credibility. During my daily browsing of the world wide web, when I come across an artist, musician, or other kind of enthusiast, if I see enough about that person, I try to create or contribute to a Wikipedia page. So that's why I decided to create hers, after seeing all the information about being signed, published, working with award winning songwriters and producers, and seeing so many third-party websites mentioning her and her music career.
Happy to talk more. And thank you again for bringing this to my attention! Hoping this page can stay. Salvatore42 (talk) 20:53, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Theoretically, SKCRIT applies to suggestions that a page be redirected as well, but I will leave that to another potential closer.

The result was redirect to George Galloway#Other developments (2015–19).

Nonetheless, it's plausible that a better claim for notability might be made in the coming months or years, and it's not unreasonable to expect that some people will be looking for information about it on Wikipedia. As such, preserving the search term and the history is likely to be useful. (I don't think, however, that much if anything needs to be merged – the two sentences in the Galloway article are sufficient for now.) – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:39, 9 January 2020 (UTC)]
- Comment. The suggested redirect to George Galloway#Other developments (2015–19) is sensible as GNG is not there yet, however, these situations can change quickly as we saw at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brexit Party. There is enough RS to confirm the existence of this organisation (e.g. the Daily Mail, while not a WP-RS, it one of the most widely read papers in Britain), and thus it will probably always be a valid ReDirect to George Galloway.

It also makes the series the feministic series that it is in the way that it shows Buffy's resistance to the organization (which is like a metaphor for oppressing women in a patriarchal society). It makes the series what is and definitely deserves its own page. I will be adding some things about that shortly to the page, but well I am not a natural English speaker.

- Keep It seems like every day I'm seeing Tolkien character Wikipedia articles getting deleted. Most of those AFDs I haven't objected too, as the characters genuinely don't seem worthy or notable enough for their own standalone articles. But it seems to me that lists like this one are the alternative to have dozens of non-notable standalone articles like that. I think lists like this should be encouraged for that reason, not deleted. — Hunter Kahn 14:14, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Uruk-hai#Literature. While the article seems to fail GNG, we can at least fix the incoming redirects so that they point the user to where the individual orcs are mentioned. Hog Farm (talk) 15:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC)]

Another GNIS mass-production failure.

- Redirect to Controversy (Prince album). This may be a leftover from the days when Wikipedia allowed articles for individual songs from notable albums. The song notability requirements have since been tightened up and most such articles have been deleted or redirected, but apparently this one fell through the cracks. In any case, the song does not have enough notability on its own and anything worthy about it can be discussed at the album article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:41, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
