No sources I could find, save a local paper that mentions him in passing. Non-notable tour guide. No indication his books are notable either, as I could find no notable reviews. PK650 (talk) 23:51, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Peugniez's books have been reviewed in the leading scholarly journals devoted to Cistercian Studies. Routier published in 1994 was reviewed in Cîteaux (Commentarii cistercienses) 46, 1995, p. 180. The Routier of 2001 was reviewed in Analecta Cisterciensia 54, 2002, p. 312–314 (described as a "valuable contribution", "indispensable for all who study French Cistercian monasteries"). The Routier of 2012 was reviewed in Analecta Cisterciensia 64, 2012, p. 420–421 ("a life's accomplishment", "a description of 2000 Cistercian abbeys", "rich in historical and architectural information", "in sum, a wonderful book"). Peugniez is remarkable. --Melchior2006 (talk) 14:58, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I do not believe this article is notable. There are no secondary sources for it, the only source here is the primary one which defines it as a subdivision of the Milton Keynes Urban area back in 2001. It is not used in more recent definitions of the Milton Keynes Urban Area. Trying to find any sources about this online lead to information on the parliamentary constituency with a similar name, Milton Keynes North, or a vague Northern part of Milton Keynes unlike this which is a very specifically defined area which is only used once in a more than decade old data set. It might be worth redirecting to the parliamentary constituency of the same name rather than a flat out deletion. Eopsid (talk) 21:39, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article is.... special. Deleted in 2012 (twice), the fundamental problem seems unresolved. While the article is lengthy and has superficial referenciness, virtually all the sources turn out to be primary, and most of them affiliated. It doesn't help that his CV reads like a French Buckaroo Banzai but with the names of god instead of brain surgery. French Wikipedia apparently has no article on him (deleted in 2012 and 2018). There's a huge, howling suspicion that the author of this article is the subject, given his other editing focuses. The Talk page has many inventive excuses for failing to achieve any of the metrics normally associated with anyone who passes

WP:NACADEMIC, including journals not allowing Google Scholar to index them, but in the end you'd expect at least some independent secondary sources about the subject, after all these years of trying to get him on Wikipedia, and I didn't find any. Guy (help!) 21:17, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment: I really would like to request that sources be verified to see if they are independent and primary sources. With all due respect, let me express that saying that "virtually all sources turn out to be primary" is exaggerated. I would like it to be taken into account that in the diversity of minority groups of Christianity there are points of view with strong evidence, but inclusion is not allowed because they are considered irrelevant under the justification of "fringe theory", or because it is not the "mainstream view". Fringe and notable are two different things. I believe that any difference of opinion can be addressed by quoting wikipedia's policies verbatim, so that we do not expose our personal opinion. Sorry if I don't have the right words to express myself, or if I have been disrespectful. Thank you for your understanding and for your help. --Jairon Levid Abimael Caál Orozco (talk) 22:24, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No indication that
    WP:AUTHOR or any other applicable standard is met. Passing mentions, "secondary" sources published by iUniverse, and a grievance about not getting a doctorate do not a notability case make. (Also, the "G. Gertoux has presented conferences at different universities" is a frankly absurd exercise in trying to make the subject sound impressive for doing something that every academic does.) I would actually expect the Google Scholar citation counts to be low, as is often true in the humanities, but not this low; and there's nothing on JSTOR or anywhere else to suggest that his fringe ideas are even taken seriously enough to rebut.

Please, do not please do not exaggerate and generalize in secondary sources, this seems a partial point of view. It is read in the policies, in Wikipedia:Notability (academics)#Citation metrics that "many journals, additionally, do not permit Google Scholar to list their articles". Please check the references in the article (i. e. JSTOR 43724942). Google Scholar or JSTOR are not they are not synonymous with notability.--Jairon Levid Abimael Caál Orozco (talk) 03:30, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I saw that JSTOR item. Being listed in "Books received" is not a signifier of notability. It's just evidence that a book exists, not that it had any influence or even attracted any attention. XOR'easter (talk) 03:37, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What you need is reliable independent secondary sources about Gertoux. Not namechecks. Guy (help!) 23:43, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Additional criteria, it reads that "many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources."--Jairon Levid Abimael Caál Orozco (talk) 00:08, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
But we need evidence that an individual is notably influential in the world of ideas. A person can be notable even if their biography is not the subject of secondary sources, as long as their ideas are. That is not the case here. Passing mentions are not sufficient.

C'mon. His top-cited publication appears to have 7 citations. That's not impactful, by any standard. We rarely keep academics that don't have multiple pubs with over 100 citations. (There's no specific threshold, since it varies widely by field.) Russ Woodroofe (talk) 00:38, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry to contradict you, but there are 7 citations at your discretion, so a broader answer is needed. Google Scholar only shows 7 citations, but this was talked before. It is not about impressing me with your answer, but rather taking a critical test attached to wikipedia policies that everyone can read. You are truly correct in saying that the number of citations is not required in wikipedia's policies to establish notability.--Jairon Levid Abimael Caál Orozco (talk) 01:03, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am not an expert of Wikipedia policies, although I use and appreciate the tool very much, in many different languages. My impression is that we risk to transform it in a sort of "social network" where only "followers" with a lot of "likes" survive. Concerning international conference papers, I find the comment "... trying to make the subject sound impressive for doing something that every academic does" quite polemic. I personally know many associate professors who never published international papers. I also know many university researchers who published some papers and attended conferences only at national level. So, in my opinion and experience, the statement "every academic does" is not accurate. There is an established process (mostly "double blind") to review submitted research papers before being accepted: only a few survive the step and even less authors will be invited to present their findings in international conferences. The author did it and UniZH is a well reputed international University. (S.

Chouraqui (famous scholar and Bible translator), in Moïse (Flammarion, Paris, 1997, p.47), Arduini & Pizzorni, La Bibbia prima del dogma (Aracne ed. 2018, p.83, 146) ; another mention can be found in Descouleurs, La laïcité a-t-elle perdu la raison? (Parole et silence, 2001, p.153) ; a DVD documentary has been made by F. Poppenberg (Der Name Gottes, 2014 ; translated in several languages), where the main arguments are drawn from his work ; his historical investigations are quoted by the translator of J. Tabor, La véritable histoire de Jésus (Robert Laffont, Paris, 2006, p.340) ; even when they disagree scholars do know is work and quote it (e.g. Gabolde, Toutankhamon, Pygmalion, Paris, 2015, p.261). That is the indication that 1) WP:PROF standard is met (Gertoux is known and quoted by a large variety of scholars, in diverse languages, from English or French, to German or Italian), 2) WP:AUTHOR standard is met (Gertoux participates in cutting-edge professional conferences on chronological/historical issues, with peer-reviewed proceedings ; his work on the divine name so proves to be unavoidable (as the last monographies on the subject testify) and has been referenced in important bibliographical lists such as Elenchus of Biblica (2004, vol. 20, p.159). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Areopage (talkcontribs) 10:44, 29 March 2020 (UTC) Areopage (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Delete. Gertoux has written many books, but to publish them he turns to Lulu.com. In 1999 he did get one book published by the reputable firm L'Harmattan, but it was almost completely ignored: Gertoux complains that the only mention of it was in the Revue juive de Genève. He then had it published in English by University Press of America, which some have thought might be an "academic vanity press". Disappointed at the paucity of reaction to this work also, he decided, he himself says, to acquire official recognition of his competence in archaeology and history by getting a Ph.D. Two high-class institutes of learning refused to accept the work he presented, because of its fundamentalist content. He maintains, for instance the historicity of Noah's Flood and dates to about 4000 B.C. the appearance of the first humans. Should Wikipedia, unlike those institutes, recognize this as anything but a fringe theory? The article proposed for deletion also presents as a reliable source the reproduction on the website http://dictionnaire.sensagent.leparisien.fr/ of the first version of the English Wikipedia article on him and considers it a claim to fame that Gertoux is "a member of the International Association for Assyriology (IAA)" (i.e., he has sent in his subscription?) and that he is the founder of Association Biblique de Recherche d'Anciens Manuscrits, of which the Internet only informs (here and here) that in 2000 it was registered as having its seat at 137 rue Bugeaud, Lyon, France (Gertoux's home?); and here that it was earlier (1991) registered at 3, rue J.-.P.-Rameau, 14100 Lisieux, France.

  • Comment: I find quite surprising that contributors with critical attitude find the time to scan through "lulu" publications but at the same time openly ignore research papers of international conferences published with peer review in the field of archeology. It's indeed stunning that some people can cite student gossip, considering it someway authoritative, but ignore a Wikipedia entry on UPA which states: "is an academic publisher based in the United States". Here the reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_Press_of_America . By the way, I cannot find any journalist article with the supposed accusation of "dealing in bulk", since it dates to the previous century and the link to the original document (whatever its validity) is broken. Finally, accusations of fundamentalism should be out of scope here, since nothing about this is mentioned in the debated wikipedia entry, it sounds like ad personam criticism. I just would like to remark that, altough I am not especially favorable to fundamentalism, Wikipedia has indeed accepted publish many other pages on openly fundamentalist persons. (S.

2A02:120B:2C7B:1470:34DE:DDBC:7CF1:5BF8, I am not taking part in this AfD but want to refer you to Wikipedia:Notability (academics) which designates how to determine when an academic is considered notable, for Wikipedia purposes. Most of the editors, pro or con, are referring to the criteria set out in this Wikipedia guideline. Liz Read! Talk! 02:58, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose that signore Frattini's comment about the publisher was directed to me. Our article about UPA that you linked to makes it clear that the "deals in bulk" assessment was hardly "student gossip". It is literally the title of the only reference in that article. Stating it is "an academic publisher based in the United States," on the other hand, cuts no mustard whatsoever. I could found an "academic publisher based in the United States" in my den. This type of argument from nothing is what I referred to when I mentioned strenuous efforts. All of Gertoux's claimed attainments similarly fall apart at the least inspection. Attempts to present these as actual academic accomplishments damages the credibility of any supposed notability instead of furthering the argument for keeping. I hope this helps.

Dear Eggishorn, thanks for your salutation, I can just suggest you to be more accurate, in case you want to see your work published. For example, you may start by writing it correctly, i.e. without final "e". You referred to the title of an article with a broken reference in Wikipedia, an article of a newspaper dated 1995, this way I can only assume that you haven't read it at all. I'm happy for you if you can find an academic publisher "in your den", but this your respectable opinion: nothig like this is stated on the wikipedia page, you can maybe enhance it to the benefit of the rest of us. Actually I'm slowly changing my mind on the advantage for Gertoux to have a Wiki page with his name on it: haters of your sort may fake it overnight, without any kind of control or validation bythis platform. For somebody with more than 3'000 followers on Academia alone, I really doubt it would be of any practical advantage. (S. Frattini MSc, MAS, BTh) 21:13, 02 April 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:120B:2C7B:1470:342F:2F79:1584:C0FC (talk)
Just for the record, I have no need to aspire to publication. I have been published. Multiple times. By unquestionably legitimate academic and commercial publishers. I would, however, never consider myself notable under Wikipedia guidelines for this. And apropos of nothing in particular, you may want to read Muphry's law.

That NFOOTY argues for keeping tens of thousands of articles on one-game male players who could not pass GNG in a million years but tries to suggest that top-tier women players aren't notable isn't a problem with the articles or the topics, it's a problem with Wikipedia:WikiProject Football that needs correcting urgently.

See old favourite Exploding whale. But that's about something extraordinary with large amounts of coverage of the individual cases.

  • Keep or userdraftify, as another editor has expressed interest in working on it; I created this article so obviously I thought the subject was clearly notable, and I don't think it's at all analogous to the effect on the summer olympics, which as was pointed out at that deletion discussion is now a rescheduling which can be covered other places. The pandemic is literally changing the restaurant industry in industrialized nations as we speak. The coverage is ongoing, unlike that for the olympics now that it's been settled. Nothing about the effects on the restaurant industry has been settled yet; we are seeing just the beginning of the fallout. It's put millions out of work just in the US and is threatening hundreds of thousands of businesses. However, as it is certainly a developing story, if the consensus is that this isn't ready for article space, I'd work on it in userdraftspace while the situation continues to develop. --valereee (talk) 12:17, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftify The subject will be notable enough soon and drafting will give the creator time to work on it until it is. Which it seems like they want to do. So stright deletion is pointless. At this point the article is more a prose/personal essay with speculation about future events then it is an encyclopedic article, but can change when things develop more and there's an actual impact, but it shouldnt be in the main article space until then.

I'm sorry, but a fad is "an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived and without basis in the object's qualities". A horrific, once-in-a-lifetime catastrophe is something like one of the world's largest industries, barely hanging on the balance of slim profit margins already, shuttering worldwide, causing permanent closures to untold numbers of businesses and unemployment to record numbers of workers in the industry. Try being a little more sensitive. ɱ (talk) 13:59, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  2. Machine Design - specific-audience online trade publication, article mostly about the industry in general and not Kolabtree
  3. Onrec 1 and Onrec 2 - byline is for a "publisher at Onrec" which suggests to me this is a press release being republished. In any case, another specific-audience online trade publication.
  4. AIM Group - another specific-audience online trade publication.
  5. Nature - Nature is generally a good source but this fails

    as it's simply the founder describing the company with no original content.
  6. AIthority - another specific-audience online trade publication.
  7. Manufacturing Tomorrow - this is not about Kolabtree, it's by a Kolabtree freelancer, which means squat for the notability of the company.
  8. Personnel Today - another specific-audience online trade publication.
  9. Yale Postdoctoral Association - this is a classified ad, even if it is wearing a nice suit because it graduated from Yale.
  10. Entrepreneur - crap listicle with zero in-depth coverage
  11. Superb Crew - interview with marketing director of Kolabtree, zero independent content.

Response I agree that some of the more gushing parts of the original article have been trimmed but you seem to miss the entire point of requiring references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. This is a *different* standard that references that may be used to support citations and facts within the article. Since this AfD, the following sources were added:
So in summary, not a single reference added to the article (nor any I have been able to find) are anything more than company announcements and PR or article drummed up by company publications.

  • Keep It's a notable subject even if there isn't excellent scientific evidence about it (yet). The existence of scientific evidence is not what makes something notable. Note that there are multiple different things that involve red light. This is not Photodynamic therapy ("red laser activates pharmaceutical drug") or Low-level laser therapy ("red laser sometimes improves wound healing"). This is the "wellness trend" involving mostly red LEDs.[23][24][25][26][27][28][29] If you keep in mind that this is a consumer product (one with excellent potential as a Halloween costume), rather than a scientific subject, it's obvious that Wikipedia should mention it. The only unsettled questions are how to present it in Light therapy (a broad survey article that contains a mishmash of conventional medical treatments, outright quackery, and wellness products), and whether it ought to be all about red light, or converted to a larger article about modern products that shine different colors of lights on people.

Website fails

WP:GNG
. Website has not received significant coverage in independent, reliable and secondary sources.Only Business standard and Economic Times' articles mention few details along with other 'fact-checking' websites which are not enough to pass GNG.

Newslaundry is questionable source according to RSN archives due to shabby journalism and editorial practices.

Alt News and Boom live hardly qualify for establishing notability purpose as they are fact-checking websites. If they are going to establish notability then there are chances that every fake news peddler on social media or such shabby websites will have their Wikipedia pages.

My whole point is: website is not notable yet. It has not received significant coverage in multiple independent and secondary

reliable sources
which can be used for creating Wikipedia article.

Removed OpIndia's 2019 rejection from the Poynter Institute's International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) from list. The assessment itself shouldn't count toward notability, since any organization can apply for accreditation. — Newslinger talk 08:19, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This passes even my notoriously high bar for notability. It seems as if this nomination is motivated more by dislike of what RS say about the subject, which really isn't our problem to fix. Guy (help!) 08:46, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strongly DELETE: The entire article on the news portal is a whitewashed version with prominent bias against the news portal or its editor(s). The article here has the POVs of those against it being pushed to deliberately portray the news portal in bad light highlighting a few of its editorial errors that every media house or portal has furthered at some point of time or other. News articles from portals like Alt News, Boom, Newslaundry etc. have been used here which themselves have been questioned for own biases in the past & shoddy practices of journalism. While each of these portals and several others are painted as credible' without writing about their political biases, fake news controversies, fakery propagating tweets by their journalists etc. all that has been ignored completely while axes are being ground against only at this portal. Either a consensus should be reached to revert the bias on this page or this article that feeds misinformation into the minds of those reading this should better be deleted. There have been numerous attempts by many an admin here to reach consensus but nothing seems to achieve a neutral version of this article.

There are no sources cited. Viking Voyage is also an insignificant topic with very little content, other than to say when and where it existed (already covered in the Wild Adventures article). There are specs associated with the coaster, but these are insignificant as well. GoneIn60 (talk) 06:59, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge, probably to
    wp:ITSAPUBLICATTRACTION. However, the current article is short and unsatisfying as an article. it is not necessary to have a separate article if the material written in Wikipedia is not long; they can be covered in list-articles about roller coasters or in articles about theme parks that have them. Here, there is existing article Wild Adventures which mentions this in the text but does not have a row for it in its table of roller coasters. Maybe the table only covers current ones? Well, modify the table to include past ones too, as is often/usually done for lists of significant things/places. Also the table could/should be modified to include thumbnail images of the roller coasters it covers. It would be inappropriate to delete this topic entirely and deny readers the opportunity to find their way to where the topic is covered in Wikipedia. Merging leaves a redirect behind and allows restoration if someone chooses to expand using significant additional sourced information. --Doncram (talk) 10:20, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply

Doncram, a closer look at this ride reveals that it was actually removed prior to the 2019 season. The article says it was moved to Fun Spot Kissimmee, and this is backed up by RCDB. Perhaps we can briefly mention it at the Fun Spot article and change this to a redirect. While I agree that roller coasters in general are big items that often deserve coverage in a dedicated article (I work on hundreds of coaster articles), this one doesn't qualify. It hasn't received any extensive coverage. It's a junior coaster that isn't any more significant than other amusement rides offered at the parks it existed in. Other than minor specs and the years it was featured, there's not much more that can be said. A one- or two-line mention at the amusement park article it's currently located at is probably ample coverage for a ride of this magnitude. --GoneIn60 (talk) 20:28, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger to Fun Spot America Theme Parks#Kissimmee location would be fine too, adding it to the table there which includes other rides which have been moved to there. The ride should probably be mentioned, still, at Wild Adventures#Roller coasters. Thanks, GoneIn60, and sure, one or two line mention is okay, but it should be mentioned, and readers should be directed to where it is covered most substantially. --Doncram (talk) 18:31, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
