    WP:GNG, nor can we get around the fact that gathering these current events under this label in the way the article does is synthesis. We need to avoid WP:Recentism; the job of what to call this era and how to label its events falls to academic experts, not us Wikipedia editors.

  • Delete Appears to be a content fork of Black Lives Matter. -Indy beetle (talk) 03:43, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Since the early 2010s, civil rights movements have resurged to levels not seen since the 1960s, especially in 2020. And I respectfully disagree with Indy beetle. I believe this has become a wider topic than just Black Lives Matter and therefore we need more than just one article addressing our current social climate. Modern civil rights seem to expand past the topic of police brutality. Some examples are systemic racism, white privilege, institutionalized racism, police corruption, racist laws like "stop and frisk", LGBTQ+ discrimination and hate crimes, immigration, poverty in communities of color, voter suppression, socioeconomic disadvantages, the impact redlining has today on communities of color, racial disparities in education, gentrification, mass incarceration of black and Hispanic people, as well as the the debate on the removal of Confederate statues. Other important points include a rise in hate crimes, hate groups and domestic terrorism by white supremacist movements. We've also seen civil rights icons emerge such as Colin Kaepernick.

  • Delete Wikipedia cannot say there is an "Early 21st-century civil rights movement" until
    synthesis of existing sourcing. Under "21st-century civil rights movement", there's a law fellow asking if black lives matter is a 21st-century civil rights movement, but that just means BLM is notable, a NYTimes mag subtitled "How a group of black social media activists built the nation's first 21st-century civil rights movement." and the guardian, but these again are about BLM specifically. There's a WaPo op-ed arguing that we need a 21st century CRM, but not saying there is one. "2020 civil rights movement" is pretty much a non-starter, there's local news. There are a couple of news articles writing about a second civil rights movement (The hill for one). However, sources, by and large, haven't recognized a widespread civil rights movement ongoing, and it's near impossible for something like that to be identified while it's happening. BLM is considered by some to be a new civil rights movement, but it's not yet clear that there's a larger defined movement outside of BLM (itself an organized movement) Eddie891 Talk Work 12:35, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete Wikipedia follows the sources, it does not lead out in inventing new terms that do not exist yet.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:48, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There is a beginning emergence of a new civil rights movement and many articles and news media such as MSNBC and the Washington Post are beginning to write about this movement and acknowledging it as new Civil Rights Movement. And the rapid change in legislation coincides very much with how the last civil rights movement went about doing things in it's timeline. Deleting too me seems very quick because based on the new media coming out calling this a new civil rights movement will only grow and with greater momentum to come so if this is deleted we would just have to rebuild this article from scratch once more. I'm willing to delete if this article is at least archived somewhere and can used as a building block later for the recreation of this article. IceBrotherhood (talk) 20:48, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article is largely focused on the biological and medical aspects of childrens' feet, which, as shown, is pretty extensively covered in reliable sources. It should be renamed to reflect that, however, and possible restructured slightly to lose that rather silly and obvious lead in informing us that children have smaller feet than adults and thus wear smaller shoes.

User:KAP03, It is a very large company in Israeli terms, The fifth largest in the Israeli fashion sector. The Renuar Group own two brands, "Renuar" and "twenty-four-seven". Together, the group had around 170 branches in Israel, from Eilat on the southern border to Kiryat Shmona in the north. You can see the "Renuar" brand branches on this map. It's hard for me to find sources in English, but the Hebrew article has many sources. Nevertheless, I found one important source in English, whereby Apex was trying to acquire 50% of Renuar at a company value of NIS 360 million, which were around Dollars 100 million back then (link).--Bar (talk) 13:26, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your response is completely unresponsive to the AFD nomination above as well as the discussion on the article talk page. As I've repeatedly pointed out (go read the article talk page), you're confusing entirely unrelated concepts that have no business being mentioned in the same article. I repeatedly prodded you to clean up the article but you failed to do so. As I noted there, I looked at several major legal databases and couldn't find a single source for the silly notion that community property in the United States has anything to do with community of property in South Africa. You certainly haven't provided any. So you're using Wikipedia as a publisher of unverified original research (which appears to be pure fantasy on your part) in direct violation of
WP:V
. The next best option is to go back to the last good version.
Also, it is never enough on Wikipedia to argue that someone else can fix the mess you left behind, so let's leave it. No. It's your problem to fix it. The fact you are too lazy to clean up your own mess after 18 months speaks for itself. --Coolcaesar (talk) 23:58, 24 June 2020 (UTC)~[reply]

Park3r (talk) 00:43, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

That's the crux of the dispute. "Community [of] property as a matrimonial property regime is a worldwide concept, not US-centric." Your reference to a "worldview view" is nonsense. Your attempt to treat "community of property" as equivalent to "community property" is original research on your part for which you have not cited any sources. That equivalence exists nowhere but your imagination. Stop vandalizing Wikipedia and go try creative writing. --Coolcaesar (talk) 19:58, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - per

I included news citations in the initial publish. Just pasted several more in Talk page from a quick Google. Noticed wrong citation formatting on article needs update. Web-hosting is not a very news-worthy topic in itself, compounded by the effect of NZ being a small country. Good luck finding an NZ webhost with with more news coverage than these guys. Anyone in the web or IT industry in NZ would know who umbrellar is. Also, Freeparking (a sub-brand) is notable in itself for being only one of two domain registrars that can register .iwi.nz domains for indiginous Maori tribe names.

Biography of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate for elected office. As always, candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates -- to qualify for inclusion, he must demonstrate that either (a) he already had preexisting notability for other reasons independent of the candidacy itself, or (b) he received such an exceptional depth and range and volume of coverage, far outside of just what every candidate everywhere could always show, that he would have a credible claim to passing the

ten year test as much more special than most other candidates. But neither of those things are in evidence here at all: there's no serious claim that he was notable for any other reason, and the referencing is almost entirely to his own campaign website and a raw table of the election results, which is not in and of itself a notability-making source. The only real journalism source here is a single article in his local newspaper about his death itself, which is not enough coverage to get him over the notability bar all by itself if it's the only reliable source that can be shown.

My wife regularly calls her 24-year-old daughter a kid. She was also born in August 1995. I could also present a large amount of sociological work that shows that many of the current generation do not enter fully into adulthood until they are 25. There also are some rental agreements for some items that are generally not allowed under age 25, under age 25 is treated as a higher risk youth category by insurance, and I can cite lots of other issues, such as the adult population college graduated is only calculated based on the population over 25 to indicate that in fact to many people 24-year-olds are still kids.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:13, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Johnpacklambert what someone calls another is irrelevant. He is legally an adult and sociological work does not strictly define someone as becoming an adult at 25. I could point to a lot of psychological work that refers to a young adult as someone 20-years-old and above. Anyway, it is what the law says that is more important. He is old enough to run for Congress – then he certainly isn't a "kid" as in child. cookie monster (2020) 755 20:06, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, obviously without prejudice against recreation in November if he wins. Candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates per se — the notability test at NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. And we also don't exempt candidates from that rule just because the normal partisan lean of their district appears to favour their victory: there have been elections where the candidate who was "expected" to win actually lost in the end, or had to withdraw their name from the ballot for legal or medical reasons (or even died) in advance of election day, so "seems like he's probably going to win" is not a notability claim that exempts a candidate from our normal notability standards for politicians. And no, the fact that some campaign coverage already exists is not a GNG-based exemption from having to pass NPOL either — every candidate in every election can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, so if that were how it worked then every candidate would always be exempted from having to pass NPOL at all, and NPOL itself would literally mean nothing at all anymore. As always, he will get an article in November if he wins the seat, since his notability claim will have changed from "candidate" to "officeholder", but simply winning the primary to become a candidate in the general election is not in and of itself grounds for an article to already exist today.

  • Keep. O, Deletionism! Here we go again. There are articles about this guy on CNN [8], NPR [9], CBS News [10], the New York Times [11], and the BBC [12], among others, but somehow that's not enough notability for some to justify a well-sourced and well-researched Wikipedia article. I'm sure it's a violation of WP:.... SOMETHING. If I sound snarky and cynical, it's because deletionism for the sake of deletionism makes me that way. In a strongly Republican district, the winner of the Republican primary is almost guaranteed to win the general election. Which means that in November, when this guy is a congressman-elect, we'll have to reinvent the wheel and re-create the whole article from scratch, for... some reason. Beyond the media coverage, and his notability for winning a primary election when he was not endorsed by Trump and others, it's also notable that Cawthorn would be the youngest congressperson ever elected.

Our job is not to keep an article about everybody whose name happens to be temporarily present in the current news cycle — our job is to never keep an article about anybody until they've passed the
ten year test for enduring significance, which means "no article until after he's accomplished something significant enough that people will still be looking for information about him in 2030 because of it". Officeholders pass that test; with extremely rare exceptions, candidates almost always do not. Bearcat (talk) 20:14, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

No, the standard has not been "dispensed with". AOC got an extremely large volume of international coverage, far beyond what most primary candidates get: I'm Canadian and she was getting coverage here, which US elections below the presidential level normally don't. She didn't get an article in advance of the election because she was a candidate per se — she got an article because she was already an international household name, who was already substantially more famous to Canadians and Britons and Australians and South Africans than any incumbent member of the entire United States House of Representatives whose surname isn't Pelosi.
The standard, in other words, is still the same as it's always been: candidates get articles in only three situations. (1) They win the election in the end. (2) They can be shown to have already passed a different notability criterion for some other reason (e.g.
ten year test for enduring significance anyway. There is no other way, and that's still just as true in 2020 as it was in 2016. Bearcat (talk) 00:20, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

That's fair, and I'm not advocating for a speedy keep. He is clearly not yet notable and a redirect is the proper thing to do here, at least for now. That being said as I noted at a recent DRV, there's better things to do with volunteer time than to fight over candidate articles where the candidate has a very strong probability of winning the NPOL-qualifying election, even if the election will technically be contested. (For instance, there's no point on deleting the article that was recently at DRV, since that candidate also won preselection and is nearly certain to win.)

WP:CRYSTAL applies to all articles. The article is not predicting the future nor assuming/expecting/prophesying that Cawthorn will win the general election. I think having a sourced and well-written article on Cawthorn at this time, after he won the primary election, is a net gain to readers. It doesn't detract from their quest for knowledge nor does it diminish Wikipedia's mission. I don't think I'll ever understand why all this energy gets directed to deleting useful articles, and, yes, I've read all the WP: justifications and explanations.

We have the rule that once you're notable, you're always notable, and unelected candidates frequently fail that test. It's particularly worse in the US since candidates aren't specifically tied to the party like they are in other countries.

Perhaps this is beside the point, but I don't know what you mean by "specifically tied to the party." He's the Republican candidate. He can someday choose to be a member of any other party, but so can any politician. I think you mean that the party doesn't select each party's congressional candidates; they're voted on by the people in primary elections months before the general election. That would account for your use of "preselected," which I also find confusing in the US context. Moncrief (talk) 19:08, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It thereby is an element of the state of the presidential campaign as it seems to be faltering. That adds to the notability for Cawthorn. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 21:14, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We could go round and round on this, but it feels as though some of you aren't hearing the argument (which you can disagree with, of course) that he is already notable, no matter what happens, because (a) he has overwhelmingly won a primary election against great odds (which are: the president, still overall relatively popular in NC-11, endorsed his competitor, and Cawthorn's predecessor was an influential and well-known congressman who also didn't endorse Cawthorn); and (b) Cawthorn is 24 years old, which is notable because it's basically unheard-of that someone currently under the constitutional age for Congress would win a primary race. These already-completed, non-future events have generated widespread media coverage. To me it seems strangely rigid to say that "notability" in the realm of congressional politics only equals being a congressperson or congressperson-elect. Obviously that's a point of view many people have, but that's not the argument being made for his notability by those that don't share that point of view. Moncrief (talk) 20:16, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Neither of those arguments are source-based, though, and there's no reason why either of those things couldn't be included in the article about the election. What we require is lasting notability - while I do generally agree this article's not really worth arguing over since the odds that he will have lasting notability is high, there is also an argument to be made for consistency. Winning a preselection, even a contested one where you weren't the first choice of the party and even as someone younger than usual, doesn't necessarily grant lasting notability. SportingFlyer T·C 03:39, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
When you say "preselection" and "the choice of the party," it sounds strange to American ears. He won a primary. I suppose that's kind of like a "pre-selection," but it's not a term that's used in American politics. As for "the choice of the party," that doesn't really work in primary elections. You can be endorsed by individuals or local political organizations, but there's no "choice of the party" in the way there is in a parliamentary system. Your arguments are odd in the context of determining the notability of this particular individual in his particular political context. Moncrief (talk) 05:05, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the argument, but I do not agree with it. While I do not agree completely with the
one event, which in this case is their 2020 campaign. This is why the community has pages about the congressional race - because the race is notable, even if the candidate(s) are not. --Enos733 (talk) 15:02, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

"Safe" seat is not a notability claim. Candidates who were "favoured" to win seats that were considered "safe" for their parties have lost elections, or been forced to resign for various reasons before election day, or even died mid-campaign — and it's a
WP:CRYSTAL violation to say that it's guaranteed that none of those things will happen this time. So "safe" seat or not, a candidate is not permanently notable until he's actually declared the winner after the ballots have been counted on election day. Bearcat (talk) 23:28, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

Keep we've kept other major party nominees before like AOC, and Cawthorn is definitely garnering significant publicity for a major party candidate or nominee since he's got an intriguing story and he defeated the Trump-backed candidate. He will likely win the general election given all of the election fundamentals he's got in his favor. He seems to meet
WP:GNG. I also don't like the notion of arbitrarily picking out major party nominees in safe seats (who've garnered significant media attention for their backgrounds to make them notable) and then open up AfDs when we've already set the standard with AOC. Note: there are more AOC like major party nominees in NY who don't have AfDs right now.

Philotimo (talk) 22:55, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

AOC did not set any precedent that applies to anybody but her. She was a standalone special case by virtue of having already garnered such a massive volume of international press coverage that she was already one of the most famous American politicians in the entire world well before election day. And no, I'm not making shit up, either: months before the election, she really was already a household name in Canada and Australia and the United Kingdom, already much more internationally famous than any politician in the entire US not named Trump or Pelosi. The regular consensus, that candidates do not get articles just for being candidates, still applies to every candidate in the United States who cannot show that he or she is already an internationally famous household name.
The problem is that if we keep Madison Cawthorn just because he has campaign coverage, then by definition we have to keep an article about every single candidate in every single district in the entire United States on the very same grounds, because no candidate ever fails to have campaign coverage. But that's not how we do things here: the test that a candidate has to meet, to warrant permanent coverage here, is that his candidacy is a special case of significantly greater notability than most other candidacies in some way that would pass the
ten year test for enduring significance. In a nutshell, the test that a candidate has to pass, to merit a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate, is to imagine that he loses the election in the end, and then dies the very next day so that he never has another opportunity to accomplish anything else more notable than being a losing election candidate, and then show a convincing reason why his candidacy would still be so uniquely notable that people will still be looking for information about it in 2030 anyway. Any candidate who can't pass that test has to wait until he or she wins the seat; only candidates who have a strongly credible claim to being special cases get articles in advance of election day.

  • Keep per
    WP:IAR. I'm sick of the idea that ONLY elected candidates are allowed to have articles, as well as the fallacy that "if we keep this, we gotta keep all unelected candidates." Cawthorn has received enough coverage in reliable sources that, even if he loses (which is a possibility), he is still deserving of an article due to the coverage and the historic nature of his primary win. It is honestly setting a ridiculously high bar that any candidate needs to be internationally recognized to have an article pre-election. We don't have that standard for other wikiarticles. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 22:41, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

Nobody gives a flying fig what you're sick of. "If we keep this, we gotta keep all unelected candidates" is not a "fallacy" — it's the stone cold truth that every candidate in every district across the entire country always receives enough campaign coverage to at least attempt the argument that they've passed GNG and are therefore exempted from actually having to pass NPOL. So if that were how it worked, then "every candidate gets an article and NPOL means nothing anymore" is exactly where that approach lands. So, again, the notability test for candidates is not "campaign coverage exists", it is "the candidate has received so much more coverage than the norm that he has a credible claim to being much more special than most other candidates, in some way that would pass the
ten year test for enduring significance". Bearcat (talk) 22:56, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

It would also make the encyclopaedia even more US-centric. SportingFlyer T·C 01:08, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is a prime example of a fallacy, in particular
WP:GNG here, not some arbitrarily high standard you like. No one is doubting that campaign coverage exists that we can write a stub on many candidates. I think this is kind of a special case, along with AOC (though not to the same extent). ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 14:49, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

So if that were how it worked, then "every candidate gets an article and NPOL means nothing anymore" is exactly where that approach lands. Yes, that should be the goal. All topics with sufficient coverage to write useful articles are worthy of articles. That's the whole point of notability to begin with!

You should read
WP:GNG doesn't mean the topic automatically qualifies for their own article.

  • We can't keep the article on the grounds that he might win the election -
    WP:CRYSTAL. There are articles on people only notable for a single event, but the event has to be very high profile - think assassinations of major figures. If he isn't elected to the House of Representatives in November then he will likely remain low profile. He's received a short spate of coverage in response to him upsetting a more favoured candidate in the primary, but that doesn't translate into enduring notability.

This is the piece I don't think I'll ever understand about deletionism for the sake of deletionism. Why? How does it further the mission of Wikipedia to delete well-sourced, well-written articles about people about whom readers may be looking for information? Wikipedia is not paper. We're not trying to fit an encyclopedia into 10 volumes. How does it increase the conveyance of information -- which is the purpose of Wikipedia -- to delete articles that have value as information-providers? This is overly dramatic, but deletionism qua deletionism makes me think of the editors of the Newspeak dictionary in "1984" whose job it is to eliminate words. That's not so much a fair analogy -- it's too harsh -- but a thought experiment, like the "ten year test." (P.S. I would argue that it doesn't matter if Cawthorn is elected in the general election, so my wish is that people didn't use that as an argument, since his being elected in November is unknowable and thus WP:CRYSTAL. This article can stand on its own as a well-sourced reference to someone about whom people may be looking for more data due to events that have already occurred.) Moncrief (talk) 01:24, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How does it further the mission of Wikipedia to indiscriminately keep articles about everybody who ever ran for political office regardless of whether they won or lost? Once the election is over, there will be no sustained public interest in the losers anymore, unless they have some other notability claim besides just running for office per se. Candidates aren't exempted from having to pass NPOL just because they have some evidence of campaign coverage — literally every candidate in every election, in every country that has elections, always has some evidence of campaign coverage, so if that were how it worked we would always have to keep an article about every single person who was ever a candidate for any elected office at all regardless of whether they won or lost. What possible reason is there why that would be desirable?
And incidentally, you're applying the ten year test backward. The way it works isn't that people get to keep an article until it's been definitively proven that they would fail the 10YT — it's that people don't get to have an article at all until it's been definitively proven that they would pass the 10YT. Bearcat (talk) 01:47, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It would be desirable because Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia; our goal is to be a repository of knowledge. There is no size limit here; we're not trying to fit into a bookshelf worth of volumes. The burden of proof is on those advocating deletion to demonstrate how the deletion of the article would IMPROVE Wikipedia. "Lack of public interest" 10 years from now, does not mean it's absence would improve the encyclopedia. You keep bringing the same points up again and again and again, but you have never once made a convincing argument that these deletions actually improve the encyclopedia, not detract from it. If there is RS coverage sufficient to write 100 million articles, then our goal should be to have 100 million articles. −−− Cactus Jack 🌵 01:55, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If there's no sustained public interest and Cawthorn loses in November, then this article will not be particularly widely read. Instead it will be out there unobtrusively on the internet, one of the 6.1 million articles in the English-language Wikipedia and one of the hundreds of millions (billions?) of webpages on the web. If one of the billion or so users of the English Wikipedia thinks someday, "Who was that really young guy who won the primary in South Carolina that stopped Trump's uninterrupted winning streak of primary endorsements?" then they'll be able to google the information and find this article. I'm not seeing the harm, just as I don't see the harm in other articles I've worked on that are arguably very obscure, such as those about, say, uninhabited islands in Lake Winnipeg. Honestly, our philosophies of what Wikipedia is, are so far apart that further discussion is probably not fruitful here. We can just await the neutral admin's decision. Moncrief (talk) 02:04, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
One thing you likely have not considered is that low-traffic articles about topics of low public visibility are extremely vulnerable to the addition of vandalism, which can go undetected for weeks, months or even years if the article isn't generating enough traffic to control it. Our quality control model works very well on high-visibility articles like Beyoncé or Justin Trudeau, because any vandalism to those articles will get caught and reverted almost instantaneously — but below a certain level of fame, it falls down on its ass very quickly, and vandalism to a low-interest article can literally stand for a very long time without being noticed at all. I once found an article about a person of low public prominence which had literally spent three full years calling its topic a cannibal pedophile who smuggled children into nuclear power plants to rape, kill and eat them — and no, I am not making that up, it really happened. I dealt with it as soon as I saw it, needless to say, but that doesn't change the fact that we still published libellous content for three years because nobody had caught it sooner. That's the risk: in an encyclopedia that anybody can edit, we cannot guarantee that every "anybody" is editing responsibly — and there is a level of prominence below which we cannot guarantee the necessary degree of vigilance anymore.

Bearcat (talk) 02:51, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Almost everything you've written in this thread has no relevance here. This isn't a "low traffic" article by any measure. There's no "risk of vandalism". Claiming that keeping this important entry will mean that we "keep articles about everybody who ever ran for political office regardless of whether they won or lost" is baseless. I'm sure you'll continue to push for deletion of candidates, which is a tenable position for politicians who haven't even won their primary and have no notability other than the fact that they've declared. Which is most certainly not the case here. Bangabandhu (talk) 14:13, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - this is the full text of the
    WP:NPOL
    guideline:
    The following are presumed to be notable:
    * Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels.[12] This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them.
    * Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.
    Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline.
  • Nowhere in here does it say that political candidates are required to meet NPOL. Nowhere in here does it say there is some extra special notability requirement above and beyond the GNG when determining whether coverage is sufficient to establish notability. Nowhere in here does it say that "sustained international" coverage is required. Nowhere in here does it say that the subject must still be of sustained public interest in 10 years.[a] And certainly nowhere does it say that the candidates must achieve Christine O'Donnell levels of coverage. NPOL is about categories of politicians presumed to be notable even if they don't meet GNG. It's not some extra hurdle that's required; it's an extra route to notability for politicians who fail GNG. If an editor repeatedly insists that their position on NPOL is the "community consensus", even when the actual text of the SNG contradicts them repeatedly, the onus is on them to prove it, not just repeat it over and over and over again. −−− Cactus Jack 🌵 02:08, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, NPOL is not an "extra" route to notability for politicians who "fail" GNG. Every politician who passes NPOL, by definition, literally always also passes GNG, because people in NPOL-passing roles always get GNG-worthy media coverage. Their articles may not always look like they pass GNG, because we're not always on the ball about actually finding and using all the sources that the person actually has — but if a person really held an NPOL-passing role, then they virtually always have GNG-passing sources out there regardless of the current state of our article about them. In actual fact, if an article claimed that its subject passed NPOL, but the person was such a GNG failure that we couldn't even
verify
the claim in the first place, then the article would be deleted as a likely hoax.
As for "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline", the thing you need to keep in mind is that if the existence of some campaign coverage is all it takes to get a non-winning candidate over GNG and thus exempt them from having to pass NPOL, then that sentence has automatically contradicted itself, because literally every candidate in every election everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage. Which is exactly why what I'm saying is not incorrect, and NPOL does not contradict it: if the existence of campaign coverage is all it takes to make a candidate notable, then every candidate is always notable and nobody ever actually has to be measured against NPOL at all anymore. Which is why the consensus around the notability of unelected candidates has always been that it is not enough just to show that some campaign coverage exists — making an unelected candidate notable enough for a Wikipedia article on GNG grounds does require evidence that their candidacy is substantially more notable than most other people's candidacies. Every candidate always has campaign coverage — what every candidate doesn't always have is a reason why their candidacy is of enduring significance that will still be of public interest ten years from now regardless of whether they win or lose.

  • Keep under the "I, a random person, have heard of him" standard. He's gotten tons of media coverage in the last couple weeks, and when people read about him, they'll naturally turn to Wikipedia for further information. To not have an article for them to read would be a disservice to the reader and an embarrassment to the project. There is no notability requirement that overrules common sense and public interest. — Toughpigs (talk) 02:18, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, I've already voiced my opinion to keep Cawthorn's page, but I think several more general points need to be addressed with regards to this particular AfD thread. 1.) There's a recurring theme on here that by keeping Cawthorn's page we somehow establish the wrong precedent, which I think is an entirely false premise. In recent memory, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–NY 14th) and Dan Crenshaw (R–TX 2nd) were created before their respective general election wins but after their primary victories in 2018. Jamaal Bowman (probably, D–NY 16th) was created before his primary win in 2020. Paula Jean Swearengin (D–WV senate) was created prior to her primary lose to Joe Manchin in 2018. Tony Campbell (R–MD senate) was created after his primary win in 2018. Christine O'Donnell was created in 2008 heading into her second election. Dave Brat (R–VA 7th) was created after his primary win in 2014. Ilhan Omar was created leading up to her successful state house run in 2016. Jo Rae Perkins (R–OR senate) was created after her primary win in 2020. Mondaire Jones (probably, D–NY 17th) was created before his primary win in 2020. Lauren Boebert (probably, R–CO 3rd) was created after her primary win in 2020. Etc... there's nothing precedent setting about keeping this page. Far-less notable candidates to Cawthorn have made our cut, like Campbell or Swearengin, so it's odd to just focus on him. I don't really see the difference between Boebert, Bowman, Cawthorn, or Jones with regards to their supposed notability divergence. It's really quite subtle. 2.) If there's reliable sources behind them (which I've already voiced my opinion that Cawthorn has) and they have a lasting influence like winning (probably Cawthorn), becoming a prominent perennial candidate, attracting notability through association (like Boebert or Perkins with QAnon), or be another means (like military service, personal story, profession, etc. which Cawthorn also meets), i.e. basically general notability guidelines for lasting significance, then it seems like an additional barrier to content creation if we just arbitrary hault their creation. And no, that doesn't mean every candidate or nominee should or would get their own page since most of them don't have anywhere near the level of notability that we're talking about with regards to Boebert, Bowman, Cawthorn, or Jones. Note: I also personally find some of them such as Campbell or Swearengin as borderline cases in terms of notability. 3.) I really feel that we should close this AfD immediately as keep unless we begin AfDs for Boebert, Bowman, and Jones too. I really find it hard to rationalize an AfD for Cawthorn but not for Boebert, Bowman, and Jones since it's quite hard to realistically splice their individual notabilities to justify Jones but not Cawthorn for instance. Philotimo (talk) 05:05, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The existence of other articles doesn't imply that this article should be kept as well. Possibly some or all of those articles should be deleted. Many of those articles are for people who are now in Congress and it wouldn't be appropriate to delete them now anyway. Hut 8.5 07:19, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply
]
I'm not really arguing that, i.e. just because x then y must as well, I'm explaining that we've constantly allowed major party candidates with notable coverage to remain so I'm pushing back on the narrative presented throughout this AfD that we're somehow establishing a precedent with Cawthorn. We're not. Also, I'm noting if we do remove Cawthorn's page then we're actually establishing a new precedent, and we'll have to open up AfDs on at least Boebert, Bowman, and Jones to boot. Philotimo (talk) 09:12, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
So you're arguing that if we delete article X then we have to delete article Y, which is basically the same argument. AfD doesn't operate based on precedent and each case is considered individually. We have deleted an awful lot of articles about failed US political candidates, and to the extent that there is a precedent it's the other way round e.g.
WP:POLOUTCOMES Candidates who are running or unsuccessfully ran for a national legislature or other national office are not viewed as having inherent notability and are often deleted or merged. Hut 8.5 12:02, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply

The flaws of the article were unreliable references and lack of references, both have been fixed. The reference from Dawn News which was mentioned earlier can easily be removed. And instead of complaining about the article’s flaws, why don’t much more experienced editors help to correct it? Only minor references mistakes are left which can be fixed and I disagree that there is a reason to delete it now.

Response I took a look at the revised article and there I see two citations to baask.com which is a message board forum. These types of sources are not considered reliable as anybody can post anything with no fact checking and no editorial oversight. (You may find it helpful to look at
WP:VERIFY which explains in detail what are reliable sources.) The citation to the Daily Times regarding Punnu Fort makes no mention of him. Generally speaking, if one is having trouble finding sources to support a person's notability then that person doesn't have the accomplishments or depth of historic coverage for inclusion.

The nonreliable baask.com source basically retells A glossary of the Tribes..., so I am replacing baask ref with glossary ref.

  • Merge to
    Rind tribe as per the in-depth analysis and current state of the article ~ Amkgp 💬 15:10, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply
    ]

I wanted to mention another thing... there are many articles on Wikipedia which have only a few lines and 1-3 references (for example the article on Rind Tribe). How come those articles are totally safe but this one got nominated for deletion? That’s why I think:

  • Merge Since the article on Rind Tribe has a few lines and this one has some references issues, I think it would be better to merge them into a single article. The info regarding the tribe should be at top and all info regarding Rind Khan should be under a heading at the bottom of the article. That way the information in both articles will remain on Wikipedia and this issue would come to an end.
Reply You make a good point about Wikipedia stub articles containing only 1-3 references. What should matter is 1) establishment of notability 2) with reliable sources. This editor has questions the Rind Khan article on both criteria, although some here see things otherwise. Blue Riband► 17:59, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t think that the deletion of this article should even be a thing now because out of the seven users who have voted so far, only one user says that it should be deleted. And then it’s being stated that the article should have at least 2 reliable references, well, there are currently 5 references and one of them is from a book and another from a newspaper and those 2 are fairly reliable. And literally every sentence in the article is supported by a reference so I think this matter should come to an end already. And another user didn’t like the list of relatives saying that Wikipedia is not Ancestry.com, the list of relatives is also removed now. And the last thing I wanted to mention to prove that this deletion matter is totally un fair is that the article on Jalal Khan (the father of Rind Khan) literally had 2 sentence, one regarding the meaning of his name and other saying that he was the founder of Baloch Tribe before I added much more content in that article almost a month ago. That article was published from years without getting noticed and had no useful info at all but it was totally safe but this article gets nominated for deletion? Wow. Mowahid Mohsin (talk) 06:43, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reply What generally happens is that an editor comes across an article, reads it, then asks "What exactly has this person done or accomplished?" This is probably why User:Amkgp made this AfD proposal. I still don't see what accomplishments Rind Khan made to deserve inclusion, but the decision won't be mine. Blue Riband► 17:35, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Blue Riband, you are currently the only one who voted for “delete”. And you ask what Rind Khan has accomplished? Well, I don’t know whether you have noticed or not but establishing a whole new tribe ain’t that easy and it should be enough to be remembered. And I must also add that this article didn’t even have had the chance to get more information added into it because it got nominated for deletion on the 1st or 2nd day after being created. The article has been cleaned up of all mistakes that were the reason of it being nominated for deletion so... it should be alright now shouldn’t it? References: added, Mistakes: removed, Unnecessary info: removed, Faulty references: removed, Why should he be remembered?: cuz he’s the founder of one of the main Baloch Tribes, What to do now: either remove the “nominated for deletion” tag nor merge it with Rind Tribe article. Simple. No need to waste anyone’s effort or time. Mowahid Mohsin (talk) 05:08, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I won’t remove it, don’t worry. By the way why is there even a need to argue that the article should be deleted? All mistakes have been corrected and only one out of 7 users suggests the article to be deleted. Isn’t this enough to close this case? I’m tired of fighting for the article that I created and I’m not willing to waste more time on this pointless argument. If this matter would not have been brought up in the first place I’m pretty sure that there would have been a lot more info in the article. The Makran area of the subcontinent was not very advanced in literature and other stuff 700 years ago so not much is known about Rind Khan. If who ever is in charge of this matter permits, I’d like to spend time researching about him for Wikipedia instead of wasting time trying to prevent the article from getting deleted. Wikipedia should be a website where information is provided to the knowledge-hungry people by other people who are kind enough to do that for free instead of being a place where text-wars are going on.

We have no requirement that our sources be online. We can use print-only sources like newspapers and books and magazines and microfilms, so finding sourcing from the 1990s is not like finding a pin from a bush at all — it's like finding a pin in a pincushion. I don't even have any real difficulty finding sourcing from the 1890s when I need to. Bearcat (talk) 22:02, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The thing is, our articles about politicians are supposed to go into properly sourced detail about their political impact in the role, not just to document the technical fact that they held it — they're supposed to be encyclopedia articles, not just directory listings. There are certain roles where it's a foregone conclusion that such an article can be written even if nobody's put in the work yet — so the reason we keep some poorly written articles about politicians isn't that they're exempted from having to have that kind of content, it's that sources are available to add that kind of content with and thus make their article better than it is. But temporary acting holders of political roles don't necessarily have the same improvability, which is why they don't get the same presumption of "inherent" notability as the official holders of the office. The rule isn't that we always have to have a standalone page about every holder of X political office just because they existed, even if it's completely impossible to say or source any content about their political significance — the notability test for all politicians, even in the "inherently" notable roles, always hinges on the ability to write and source some substantive content about their work in the role, and never just on the ability to write "this person existed, the end" in and of itself. No matter what role a politician did or didn't hold, his notability still hinges on the ability to write and source content. Bearcat (talk) 15:22, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    we have notability to ensure an encyclopedia article can be written (obviously), and here everything worth saying can be said at State Treasurer of Wisconsin. Right now all his article really says is that he was acting Wisconsin State Treasurer from October 1, 1948 until January 3, 1949, was appointed from staff, and had been a Wisconsin state employee since 1916 and had worked in the state treasurer office since 1920. as well as his birth and death dates. The treasurer list tells us that he was acting treasurer from October 1, 1948 to January 3, 1949 and was appointed from staff. Realistically everything worth keeping is already in the article. Perhaps a sentence could be merged into the note with a bit more detail but he certainly doesn't merit his own article. If there was evidence he did anything particularly notable this would be a different story. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 21:57, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

I agree that more sources are needed, which (for me) means that the current state of the article is not very well-written, and there is obvious room for expansion on the topic.

This list is almost entirely quotations. It seems like excessive detail for a general-interest encyclopedia, as the laws are very similar across countries. If we really want to keep these quotes, I think they should be moved to the articles on the specific organizations where they are more proportional to non-quoted material and more relevant to readers. -- Beland (talk) 16:14, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Two issues.
  1. Fails
    WP:LISTN
    . To argue notability we would need independent reliable sources that discuss the group or set of scout laws by country. But each of the current sources (reliability and independence aside!) only discuss a single country.
  2. Violates
    WP:NOTQUOTE
    . This is a collection of quotes. I don't know if there is a good way to discuss scout law as an article, but simply quoting promises/oaths/laws is unencyclopedic.
These two problems suggest deletion is appropriate. BenKuykendall (talk) 21:31, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: Hello, these are the reasons I believe the subject of this article is notable:

  • Raseef22 was the subject of the following articles:
- this article in Al-Quds Al-Arabi
- this article in The Washington Post
- this article from Radio Monte Carlo
- this article from the independent Lebanese online newspaper al-Mudun (المدن)
- this article from Mada Masr
  • It has been mentioned in the following media sources:
- this article in The New York Times
- this article from Qantara.de
- this article from Deutsche Welle in Arabic
- this article from An-Nahar
- this article from Al-Shorouk
  • Raseef22 has been censored by Egypt and Saudi Arabia, as covered by some of the sources above, and Jamal Khashoggi was a regular contributor.
  • According to this statistic, it gets over 500,000 hits monthly, which means over 6 million hits annually.

I don't deny that the article needs work; I threw it together quickly. All are welcome to edit it as they see fit or suggest ways it can be improved. إيان (talk) 18:50, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. Most of the sources cited above are
    passing mentions
    , but I think several things sum up to a keep:
    1. The Alquds piece[14] easily qualifies as one piece of significant coverage.
    2. The Almodons piece[15] is more than passing mention, but I consider it marginal to fully count as a "significant coverage".
    3. I found a new source, which I added to the article. This Lorientlejour piece[16] I also consider the coverage-quantity to be marginal, but significantly they are reporting on Raseef22 winning a journalism award from a Paris LGBT-journalist association. I think that adds some additional weight.
    4. Courrierinternational provides a solid profile[17] of Raseef22, but it's a "source notes" page that they link when republishing stories from Raseef22 rather than an independent article. To be honest I'd generally be reluctant to give much weight to that kind of thing.
    5. The Washingtonpost published an opinion piece[18] by the publisher of Raseef22, because he's the publisher of Raseef22, with significant coverage of Raseef22. The fact that the content isn't independent undermines the weight, and the fact that it's an opinion piece undermines the weight, but I think the Washingtonpost's decision to dedicate a sizeable item to Raseef22 carries some weight.
    6. While searching for sources, I found many sources either quoting/citing Raseef22 or republishing entire articles. I consider this to carry limited weight in itself, but more significantly this along with the evidence above and my broader impression from everything I searched leads me to believe there is more coverage out there. The standard for Notability is whether sufficient sources exist, even if they have not yet been cited. I consider the cited evidence to be borderline (I would really like another solid piece of significant coverage), but I am persuaded that more exists that would make this a comfortable keep. Alsee (talk) 04:01, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Thanks إيان for starting the article. Definitely needs some work, but I found a another reference that could be useful:

 Comment: I would like to bring up the possible issues here.

At the same time, إسلام—another Admin from Arabic Wikipedia—nominated two more articles I started: Sidi Moumen Cultural Center and Muhammad Ahmad Khalafallah for deletion. This all comes in addition to a recent barrage of potentially retribution-driven deletions of my work on Arabic Wikipedia.
While it is incumbent upon me to Wikipedia:Assume good faith, the evidence seems to indicate Wikipedia:Disruptive editing and that I am being targeted, perhaps as revenge for challenging the Arabic Wikipedia admins or as an attempt to discredit my contribution history and characterize it as promotional. This is frustrating and demoralizing because I generally have great respect for these users for their tremendous contributions elsewhere. I invite those involved to please clarify any misunderstandings that may I have. إيان (talk) 14:27, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I actually do frequently edit Arabic projects, including arwiki. Take a look at my central auth. I am also a global sysop and monitor spam lists and filters on IRC. I also patrol new pages and review them or nominate them for deletion. Your accusations of hounding are ridiculous. When I find a highly problematic article from a newish user, I look at their recent creations since people tend to make the same mistakes in assuming notability. There is no hounding, there is certainly no harassment that I know of, but you'll need to provide a diff for that if you still believe this to be the case, otherwise please strike that comment. Praxidicae (talk) 14:31, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

, so of course they see that you translated the arwiki content to enwiki. About COI point, I don't see it correct, for example it's my first time to see Raseef22 article that you mentioned. About Praxidicae point, I'd say that Praxidicae is one of the most active non-ar-N users on arwiki, and you can see that Praxidicae have abusefilter and editor flag on arwiki! About other RfDs made in your articles, Wikipedia versions are complementary to each others, so if I found non-notable article on arwiki with dewiki version, of course I'll nominate it for deletion on dewiki also (of course per there policies of notability).

Finally, please remember that

WP:CAN, as I noticed that (Majdal.cc) made only 33 edits on enwiki, comments on Sarah RfD on arwiki, important element on Raseef22 article you mentioned above (can consider as COI)? or conspiracy theory applied here on "delete" votes only? --Alaa :)..! 15:41, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

Hey علاء (Alaa), thanks for your patience.
About COI point, I don't see it correct, for example it's my first time to see Raseef22 article that you mentioned.
I find this surprising. I know you're no longer on Facebook, but the article was posted multiple times to the arwiki Facebook group and it generated quite a bit of discussion. Other commenters have definitely seen it.
as 3 of them comments on "your" undeletion request on arwiki
I just double checked, and it looks like—of the 4 arwiki admins in this discussion—only فيصل and باسم participated in that discussion in Arabic.
Why you only mentioned "Delete" comments as
WP:CAN
Because all the arwiki admins in this discussion happen to have voted for its deletion.
I noticed that (Majdal.cc) made only 33 edits on enwiki, comments on Sarah RfD on arwiki,
This discussion was the first time I saw this user. As far as I know, this user is not an Admin on arwiki, but if this user has some other conflict of interest then this user should be held to the same standard. إيان (talk) 20:56, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not notable. Consensus among Formula 1 fans is that testing is not accurate because every team runs an individual program. Nothing can be interpreted from the data because teams do not disclose information about their running. The COVID-19 pandemic has invalidated most of the data anyway, since several teams have announced plans for upgrades to their cars. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 08:30, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete see my source analysis on the first AfD, most of the sources on there are crap. There's one good source and a couple of passable sources (in that AfD I used decent to mean passable, but being clearer now so people can't misconstrue me). This testing article adds no value to Wikipedia, the times are completely meaningless, and almost every frequent editor of F1 articles who voted in the last AfD voted delete. Very glad this is up for deletion again, because I'm honestly baffled it survived last time. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:43, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Pre-season testing may recieve wide press atention while it is ongoing but this is simply because of the hype that comes with seeing the new cars/drivers being driven/driving for the first. But pre-season testing has no long-term notability (mostly because it doesn't tell you anything).

Not notable. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 08:26, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

British band. Another example of an absolutely non-notable band. The article contains a YouTube page, their official site and an archived site which shows a blank screen to me. YouTube is not a good source, their official site is not independent and that last one... no comment. I looked them up and I found absolutely nothing about this band, even with quotation marks. Just because they released two albums they are not notable, because there are no good sources. This is another case of "a non-notable band manages to stay on Wikipedia for WAY too long" disease, which needs to be stopped. Unfortunately since WP contains a lot of articles on bands, it is really difficult to eradicate every non-notable group. How these articles manage to stay here in a state like this is beyond me.

I have no idea why Durham locates this spot with reference to Plymouth, because it is barely outside Amador City; indeed, I get a couple of hits that suggest it might now be considered, under this name, as a neighborhood of the town. But searching gives numerous hits which indicate that it was a gold mine, originally called the Rancheria Mine, then at its next reactivation, the South Mayflower Mine, before adopting the Bunker Hill moniker in its last spate of activity up into the early 1920s. There are a number of pictures available too. I have no idea what our standards are for notability of mines, but as a "community" it doesn't pass muster.

That person had the rank of Corporal but that doesn't matter because, again, their notability arises from their writing, not their fighting. Andrew🐉(talk) 17:26, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep: Now or Never! appears to draw most of its content on Stephens from Yacovone's biography on him, so I don't know if it contstitutes a second source per se. These reviews ([24][25] may also be useful in determining his notability, but they have the same problem. I only briefly skimmed Yacovone's biography of Stephens in Voice of Thunder, but between it and (potentially) the other sources, I think we have enough to support an article on Stephens. (I found some trivial mentions which could also be used in this book, from over a century before Voice of Thunder, but I don't think it's substantial enough to count as a separate source.) Moreover, I think he is of enough historical interest to merit an article, even if only a small one (Now or Never! and the book reviews probably establish that, even if they don't count as independent per se). 3 kids in a trenchcoat (talk) 23:12, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of any notability. Not even sure what it represents, but it appears to be a marketing concept within a large development company. The two sources are dead-links and searches reveals several actual shopping malls, some of which have their own Wikipedia pages, but nothing relating to the "concept". This may be just a marketing concept with no real existence. Fails

  • Comment Recent news from March 2020 [26] reported that the 24th location of such mall was soon to be opened, proving that the concept exists. There was high profile shooting incident happened at one of the establishment [27] The news just mentioned it as "Robinson shopping mall" --Lerdsuwa (talk) 11:30, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Apologies to Velella for not responding earlier on my talk page, but I still don't quite follow your understanding of the subject. You mentioned that "searches suggest that this is just a marketing concept under which the malls are aggregated, but which has no physical existence in the real world," but then also recognise that there are "several actual shopping malls" but dismiss them as "nothing relating to the 'concept'". Why are you seeing them as separate, unrelated things? The subject is the brand of shopping malls, based on a certain marketing concept as mentioned in the article. Perhaps the previous wording in the article wasn't clear; I've tried rewriting it a bit. Is this better? --Paul_012 (talk) 16:22, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I was less than clear. This seems to be an organization (Company ?) which builds shopping malls. Many of these shopping malls are notable and have Wikipedia article, but the company building them, if that is what this is, does not appear to have any notability. No reliable and independent sources discuss it that I could find. This isn't unusual. There are many big corporations that maintain a very low profile public face, being happy to be known by the things they build or produce. For Wikipedia, this means that the overarching company may not be notable, even though its malls are.
notability is not inherited . Regards  Velella  Velella Talk   16:47, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

The company, Robinson Co., Ltd., does not just build malls, but also runs and operates them. This article is about the branded chain of malls, not the company, which already has coverage under the article for its other brand, Robinson Department Store. It's not low-profile either. Both the company and the brand have lots of exposure in the business news pages.[28][29][30][31][32][33] I can see a case for merging the coverage under a single article, but that can be discussed on the talk page, and I don't quite see how the subject can be seen as failing to meet the GNG. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:21, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment All of those appear to be about
Robinson Lifestyle Center, but which I still believe is a marketing concept - i.e just another sort of department store as per one of the refs which quotes "270 million baht was spent on Robinson Lifestyle's makeover in Trang". If followed to its logical conclusion per this we ought to have articles for all of Robinson's different type of shops. None of the refs defines what they consider a "Lifestyle" centre to be - perhaps a downmarket (upmarket?) department store. A request once to an estate agent in New Zealand about what a "Lifestyle property" was produced the answer - "It isn't a property that you would want to live in in the winter" - is this what Lifestyle means here? - modern living ephemera for the moment only? Even so, it doesn't appear to be notable.  Velella  Velella Talk   16:26, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

  • Per Sesquivalent's suggestion below, I am offering my closing comments here.
In reply to Mr Butterbur's points:
1) In the instances Mr Butterbur cites, Quillette is acting as a primary source by reporting on its own activities. To be considered
WP:GUNREL
itself is crystal clear. Quillette cannot be used to establish notability.
2) The Cofnas/MacDonald debate was not covered by the Genetic Literacy Project. Parts of it were published there. As mentioned in my reply below to
WP:BASIC). Whether GLP itself is reliable is a separate question. But as mentioned on that article's Talk page regarding this AfD by @Crossroads
: "merely publishing two pieces by Nathan Cofnas and a rebuttal does not constitute significant coverage of Nathan Cofnas".
3) While I have no grounds to suspect Tablet of being unreliable, it does seem pretty obscure (same goes for Undark.org by the way). But more to the point, the interview Mr Butterbur cites only mentions Cofnas in passing. This does not seem to me to qualify as "significant coverage" per
WP:NOTNEWS
.
In reply to IP 2604…: No, Pinker criticizing Dutton's argument does not equate to supporting Cofnas's paper. Undark.org, the source for that statement, doesn't even suggest that Pinker has read Cofnas's paper.
So, in sum: Subject clearly fails
WP:BLP1E
), and is therefore not notable.
Finally, as a procedural point per
WP:DISCUSSAFD, I'll just note that of all the Keep votes, only two are from editors with any track record prior to this AfD (the article's creator, Ali Pirhayati, and to a far lesser extent Mr Butterbur).

It may also be worth noting that none of these sources describe Cofnas in any more detail than that he is a "Ph.D. candidate in philosophy at the University of Oxford" or something precisely equivalent. They all focus squarely on the controversy at hand and its immediate effects. And neither the controversy nor its effects (i.e. someone who is himself non-notable resigning from an editorial board) have the kind of significance that would satisfy an exception to

Reply: This is incorrect. The debate over Jewish conspiracy theories has not been discussed in any [edit: multiple] reliable sources. See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources for consensus that Quillette "is generally unreliable for facts. Opinions from Quillette are likely to constitute undue weight." Undark.org is, as far as I can tell, too obscure to have ever warranted consideration. Generalrelative (talk) 19:28, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Further, I see nothing to indicate that either of these controversies is receiving "ongoing" coverage (outside of this AfD of course). Generalrelative (talk) 20:14, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Reply: Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources isn't meant to be an exhaustive list. It mentions JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) as a reliable source but not Nature or Science, which are arguably even more authoritative sources. According to Wikipedia, Undark Magazine "is published under the auspices of the Knight Science Journalism Fellowships program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology...Many large national and international publications, including Scientific American,[7] The Atlantic,[8] Smithsonian,[9] NPR,[10] and Outside [11] have republishing relationships with Undark". Clearly, Undark is a reliable source. The guidelines say that Quillette is "generally unreliable for facts" and "Opinions from Quillette are likely to constitute undue weight". That suggests that extra caution should be used when relying on Quillette as a source, but it doesn't mean it's never reliable and can never be cited (it's neither "deprecated" nor "blacklisted"). In this case, Quillette is reporting an uncontroversial matter of fact. Lmtrilling (talk) 20:59, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Reply: Thanks @Lmtrilling: You appear to be correct with regard to Undark.org. With regard to Quillette on the other hand, the issue is not only whether the facts are true but also whether they should be considered significant. Generalrelative (talk) 21:30, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note too this policy at
WP:GUNREL: "Generally unreliable" sources (such as Quillette) "should never be used for information about a living person." That sounds pretty black and white to me. Generalrelative (talk) 23:17, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

Reply: cc Generalrelative The Quillette reference isn't to support information about a living person (Cofnas), but to support the fact that Jordan Peterson faced a "backlash from the anti-Semitic mob" after he promoted the paper. Quillette isn't a blacklisted source, and there is no reason to think it is unreliable with respect to this specific, politically neutral claim. Unless there is a reason for deleting the statement about Peterson, it should be restored. Lmtrilling (talk) 23:40, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question for @Lmtrilling: Without implying bad faith, I'd like to ask if you have a personal connection to the subject of this article. I see that you created your Wikipedia account within the past 24 hours. Please understand that I recognize this could be a coincidence, or you may have been a longtime IP contributor, and that I'm willing to take your word for it. Generalrelative (talk) 00:33, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Generalrelative I don't see what basis you have for asking this. I started making contributions to bios of people I'm familiar with, and I saw this one was nominated for deletion, so I'm commenting. But I don't understand your position. You previously wrote that "The debate over Jewish conspiracy theories has not been discussed in any reliable sources". Now you agree that (at least) Undark is a reliable source, but you didn't moderate your position at all, and you're suggesting a very questionable interpretation of Wikipedia policy to justify taking out a reference to a notable fact. You also didn't mention the reference to the Genetic Literacy Project, which is definitely a reliable source that's independent from the subject, so should count toward notability. I agree with most of your edits to the article, but you seem to have a strong nonneutral point of view. Lmtrilling (talk) 07:24, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Reply @Lmtrilling: Regardless of whether I have a basis for asking the question, I'll note that you haven't answered it. Generalrelative (talk) 14:45, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
With regard to the
WP:GUNREL, I can't imagine how the words "should never be used for information about a living person" leave any room for interpretation. 3) I did strike out the word "any" above and replaced it with the word "multiple" once you pointed me to evidence for Undark.org's reliability, and I thank you again for that. I do concede that the controversy over Cofnas' debate with MacDonald was covered in one reliable source. It's a sad irony that that article, meant to decry the promotion of racial pseudoscience, may have in fact served to raise its profile further on Wikipedia. 4) With regard to the previous point and also to your allegation that I display a POV: I think it's likely that proponents of fringe views use in-house "debates" such as the Cofnas-MacDonald exchange as a strategy to drum up publicity, and indeed, to gain visibility on Wikipedia. But of course in this discussion all I can consider is the verifiable evidence, which I've tried to present as clearly as possible. Generalrelative (talk) 15:02, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

Genetic Literacy Project, which should be considered a "reliable source". GLP has been criticized, but every mainstream outlet has been criticized by someone. Its founder, Jon Entine, is a respected science journalist associated with the University of California, Davis. @Generalrelative: says the fact that GLP published an article by MacDonald implies that it's not a reliable source, but MacDonald published a letter in the Wall Street Journal in 2018, and he has published in other outlets that are considered reliable. A Google search shows that Cofnas's debate was also mentioned two and a half weeks ago in Tablet, which is another reliable source. Mr Butterbur (talk) 09:51, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

Reply to @Sesquivalent: Fair enough! While I don't see my behavior as WALLOFTEXTing, SEALIONing or BLUDGEONing, upon reflection I can see how some reasonable observers might.

Great, thanks. As I wrote above, I think all such concerns can be satisfied by just moving post-nom comments under the original post, maybe shortening them to the extent reasonable. Sesquivalent (talk) 21:27, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The argument that Cofnas is a notable academic is very weak. The only evidence given for his notability is two articles he wrote that attracted attention in large part because of their low quality. The first was (according to Steven Pinker) a poorly argued a partial [added later] critique of MacDonald, and the second was a defense of fringe views on race. The resignation of the editor of Philosophical Psychology resulted from a dispute with other editors about whether or not to publish a submission strongly criticizing the journal for publishing Cofnas' low-quality and inflammatory article. So Cofnas was only indirectly involved in that. It is unclear if the resignation of the editor is noteworthy or is just a transient event, but in either case his resignation does not establish Cofnas' enduring notability per

Reply @NightHeron: Steven Pinker said MacDonald's and Dutton's arguments criticizing Cofnas were "extraordinarily weak". In other words, Pinker supported Cofnas's paper. The controversy surrounding the paper in Philosophical Psychology received coverage from multiple independent, reliable sources. The resignation of the editor was part of that story. 2604:2000:F607:4800:A094:A540:AA42:80FB (talk) 11:30, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the correction; I've struck that from my comment. Reading the source, I see that Pinker is not quoted as saying anything about Cofnas. I also see that Cofnas' disagreement with MacDonald seems to be only about anti-semitism rather than about white supremacy. In any case, a grad student writing a partial rebuttal of an extreme fringe author such as MacDonald is not strong evidence of enduring notability. NightHeron (talk) 12:17, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On that note, GLP (Genetic Literacy Project) has come up above. In GMO subjects, they're typically an accurate source good for addressing pseudoscience, but only used in the

WP:GNG. Definitely a last name and a village, seemingly a tribe, and there is a passing mention on p 15 of this book, but there seems to be no reliable independent coverage that would meet GNG.
