Largely unsourced autobiography; no independent sources attest notability in any of the fields where the subject and author claims to have been active. Biruitorul Talk 23:31, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

--G.M.Hiram (talk) 01:16, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This article is extremely well-referenced, there exists a huge amount of material provided for almost every statement in the article.
The artistic notability of the creator in question is debatable, as any artistic act is. It is always hard to say which work of art is good and which isn't.
Yet, the important thing is that the referenced works are in fact authentic.
Whereas, the scientific importance of the author in question can be justified with papers and documents of an official character.
--G.M.Hiram (talk) 01:16, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The deleting procedure is also highly misleading and controversial as such. It is well known in professional scientific circles that when a negative hypothesis is introduced and users are asked to vote, the vast majority of the voters will be the ones harboring negative emotions on the topic.

WP:NOTDICTIONARY - this article consists nothing more than a dictionary definition for traffic. Its lack of sources indicate that the topic does not have sufficient notability for a Wikipedia article. I'd propose soft redirecting to Wiktionary. Aasim (talk) 22:55, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply
]

  • Strong keep Yes the article is a stub, but it can be expanded. It's a too common subject to be simply a Wiktionary entry. And, if it's deleted, what will happen to Permanently signed detour route? This is technically the parent article of it. Waddles 🗩 🖉 23:11, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Transportation-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 23:14, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There's plenty of sourcing on this. Just because the existing article is a stub doesn't mean it has to be deleted. I quickly found [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] and that's just a small selection of the coverage out there. I might take up improving this article in the near future. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 23:21, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment I have begun working on this article. I'm not done, but I've already expanded it significantly and added three references. I don't believe this article met the criteria for deletion as it was before this AfD, but I'm finding now there is a great deal of significant coverage on detours, and I am adding it as I find it. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:59, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for your work. Another problem is that this title is too broad as "detour" and "diversion" are also used in terms of pedestrian traffic and rail traffic. In no ways am I thinking this should be deleted; I am thinking the title should be redirected to Wiktionary. Aasim (talk) 04:50, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, wouldn't the solution be to make Detour a parent article to several more specific articles? This has already partially been done with Permanently signed detour route. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 13:40, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I had the same thought, though I think that having different sections on this article rather than whole different articles would be better since it's likely none would have excessive content. For example, railroad shooflies came to mind – see refs at Glossary of North American railway terms § S – whose section would probably have brief content. Other infrastructure could follow suit.

I'm switching !vote to neutral as some effort has been made to bring the article to a better standard, I'll leave it to others to determine if this is enough. I also note earlier verions were larged and then chomped and those version ought to be considered during the nomination, but I'm not going to delve through historic versions and I leave that to others.

  • Comment - for attribution reasons, the page history must be kept as content was copied to permanently signed detour route, so if the closing admin finds a consensus to delete it should be directly made into a redirect/soft redirect so as to not delete the history. eviolite (talk) 00:51, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Eviolite: It's good of you to point this out but unfortunately I have not been able to identity revision on target where the copy occurred on permanently signed detour route. If you can indentifiy the revision, in actually the date alone will do, when the paste was made into permanently signed detour route please ping me and I'll sort the attribution templating. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:46, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Djm-leighpark: The very first revision of permanently signed detour route was copied from detour, specifically this version, though my main concern was not templates (since Riversense did attribute on the copy) but rather that if the page detour was directly deleted, the page history and attribution would be completely gone. However, that does not look like a likely outcome right now. eviolite (talk) 20:55, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've added {{copied}} to Talk:Detour, Talk:permanently signed detour route & Talk:Special route which a closer should check for on delete. APologies for not spotting the copy was at the start of permanently signed detour route. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 21:55, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep I think it's worth giving it a shot for cleanup, but it needs more to make it encyclopedic (i.e. - history of detours, rules about detours around the world, etc.) and if that's not possible, I'd support a deletion once we've given it some time and no progress is made. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 19:01, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, notability is demonstrated by significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.[1][2][3][4]

  • Selective merge The remark by MarkH21 in the last round of discussion leads me to think that there's more that can be said about its constructibility than "34 = 17 × 2". I don't think most of the article content is really warranted as it stands (honestly, some of our pages in this area read like Fandom.com had a Polytopes wiki), but this looks more like a "selective merge" candidate to me. I see that way back in 2017 I suggested a section at heptadecagon as a viable target. XOR'easter (talk) 01:00, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • That is, both the White (1913) and Chepmell (1913) sources construct a regular 34-gon by compass and straightedge without constructing a 17-gon and bisecting its angles. (White actually does it in the opposite order, inscribing a 34-gon in a circle and then joining alternate vertices to make a 17-gon.) It's not what I had expected. XOR'easter (talk) 14:36, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Polygon#Naming, because there's nothing new to say, and for consistency with the other recently-redirected polygons. It's constructible, but heptadecagon already says so: Based on the construction of the regular 17-gon, one can readily construct n-gons with n being the product of 17 with 3 or 5 (or both) and any power of 2: a regular 51-gon, 85-gon or 255-gon and any regular n-gon with 2h times as many sides. The details are absolutely trivial (just take the 2π/17 angle from the heptadecagon and bisect it). The fact that an RS could be found stating the trivially obvious does not make the trivially obvious any more notable, I think. Double sharp (talk) 07:38, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I forgot to mention it in my nomination, but I agree with redirect to Polygon#Naming, which was the conclusion for the other recently deleted polygons. Danstronger (talk) 11:36, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect. Although the 1913 paper goes into nontrivial depth about this specific shape, it does not justify any of the content of the article, and so cannot be used for notability of the article as it is. I don't think we would want to have the kind of article that could be sourced by that paper, which would be entirely about the details of a compass and straightedge construction. Also it's a very short paper and it's only one source. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:23, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I mentioned in the last AfD that the existence of the standalone
    WP:GNG.
    However, the points here about not having an entire article about the explicit construction and its possible suitability elsewhere are also convincing. Based on the Mathematische Annalen paper alone, I am neutral about whether to redirect/merge/keep. However, I would not be surprised if there were other serious articles about properties of the 34-gon. Such coverage might change things (I have not yet attempted this search myself, so this has no weight right now).
    @XOR'easter: Sorry for the delay in responding to the other AfD ping!
    — MarkH21talk 11:54, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • Redirect to Polygon#Naming, as most of the sources (bar the Mathematische Annalen article) are not specific to the 34-gon or only describe properties that are "trivial". This is then reflected in the content of article, and the structure could conceivably be used for an article on any arbitrary n-gon. I also conducted several searches and was unable to find other sources that would unambiguously satisfy GNG. Nevertheless, I would also support merging some of the construction-related content to heptadecagon, as it is very relevant there and definitely does not generalize to any n-gon.

There are no entries on this page since there are no articles of people with this surname on Wikipedia, and the only content is the lead 'Cesino is an Italian surname' and the surname list tag. Waddles 🗩 🖉 20:08, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We cancel so we save energy for the planet. It's redundant, so let's delete. It is more the debate than the page itself. You work on useful articles. Best regards.--Peter39c (talk) 16:44, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Peter39c: I'm not sure what you mean by "You don't even have time to enter some information that someone wants to delete it". And I'm going to point out that I don't "have a desire to be protagonist", I'm simply doing my job as a volunteer to help control what's submitted to Wikipedia. Waddles 🗩 🖉 16:52, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Peter39c: This is the purpose of AfD, articles for discussion - it's about discussing the integrity or credibility of an article. You created an article with no information in it and none that I can see from a search which it could be expanded with (and my focus on wikipedia is very much content creation). Even if there were just one entry, I could not have seen the need to have this article. A better option may have been to create an article on the region that I linked to on Italian wikipedia, by the same name. Bungle (talk • contribs) 20:18, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: As I repeat, this is simply a technical page to collect articles by people with that surname such as Micheal Cesino, an academic. the name of the academic is a pure and simple example of the use of the page, but it was not my intention to insert it or to promote the academic. Woe to put scientists on wikipedia, It's better footballers or unknown cricketers.

Enough discussions that costs energy and time. --Peter39c (talk) 20:29, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Peter39c: There's no such thing as a 'technical page'. A surname list is only for if two or more people with biographical articles on Wikipedia have the same surname. Waddles 🗩 🖉 20:41, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Peter39c You can always remake a page like this if there end up being enough Cesino articles to justify it. Like, for example, a page about that academic. Right now there are zero. -- asilvering (talk) 20:27, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Moving on to Oregon, the very first place I look at consists of a grain elevator standing by the railroad tracks, and nothing else besides an adjacent farm. Searching turns up low levels of hits, largely clickbait but also a fair number referring to a soil series and a grain variety of the same name, and the usual rural name drops due to the post office which once sat here. Not seeing anything indicating a former town, though. I would also note that the bins shown in the picture are not those of the Minor White photo, which still stand by the tracks.

Uh, I don't think a post office can be opened by anyone. Certainly not during that time period. You had to get government authority. Towns/wannabe towns would name themselves after the U.S. Postmaster in order to be granted a coveted post office. Certainly there were addresses with an Alicel, Oregon address. It has legal recognition, but I don't know if it was a "populated place" or just an "area" that a post office served (and thereby failing GEOLAND). 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:18, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think the issue we're highlighting here is that post-offices weren't automatically associated with populated place, but could be at stores, stations, and so-forth. Having a post office is therefore not legal recognition of a populated place per se. FOARP (talk) 14:56, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are perhaps minor quibbles/clarifications/exceptions, but I think we're mostly on the same page. This concerted effort on GEOLAND has deleted a few things here and there I disagree with, but has largely cleaned up a lot of WP:V violations and other such errors. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 15:31, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Keep - Surprisingly, buildings scattered to the East are the remnants of an honest-to-goodness street grid that appeared on the 1906 topo and gradually disappears by the 1960s. Newspaper searches bring back quite a few trivial mentions of school sports teams, "John Smith of Alicel", etc. I'm thinking this was an actual small town, but not one that was legally recognized or written about enough to sustain a standalone article. –dlthewave ☎ 00:05, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Only slightly snarky comment as article creator: Re: "...grain elevator standing by the railroad tracks..." Oh, I see you are familiar with the American West. This was my 4th article and was created from this list. I think the Oregon list was added to from an Oregon Highway map. No one has added to it since 2006. I haven't been around much lately but is
    WP: GAZETTEER still relevant? Because I'm curious about the "I saw the name on a map and want to know more about it" factor. It's on roadmaps as of my 2008 Oregon road atlas, which is the most recent one I have at hand. Also, I realize that the term "populated place" per GNIS is being questioned, but this is listed as a populated place on GNIS. As an aside, I'm not sure why it matters that the recent photo and the reference to the Minor White photo not being of the same grain elevators is significant to the notability of this community. Here's a link to the photo. And here's the facility in 2005. Perhaps we need to either delete the photo or add a clunky disclaimer? If @Finetooth: is around, maybe we can ask him why he took a photo of the grain storage bins and not the historic silos. SOFIXIT? Valfontis (talk) 06:28, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply
    ]
Hi
Maps also aren't taken as evidence of notability, so we don't have articles on locations simply because they are on a map. Wikipedia is not a gazetteer per se - we don't host GNIS-style bare gazetteer listings, but instead encyclopaedic articles, because Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia
.
Standards have been tightened up after tens of thousands of articles about locations in Iran, Azerbaijan, California, and Turkey had to be deleted/redirect en masse due to issues with them caused by simply transcribing data straight from a gazetteer or gazetteer-like database. An admin was also desysopped as part of one of these cases, and one of the most prolific stub-creators also had the autopatrolled bit taken away.
None of this should be taken as a judgement on your creation of this article, simply an indication that (as in many areas) there's stuff that Wikipedia used to have articles for that it now doesn't. FOARP (talk) 09:15, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. (
Wikiproject Oregon
made a great effort to keep garbagey geography content out of the Oregon-related articles. We had a few drive-by editors who created a dozen or two microstub articles on communities each, but I and others managed to "save" (I kind of hate that term) them from deletion with a few hours of research. Anyway, I stand by my judgment on what makes something notable, despite not keeping up with the current state of geographic notability.
I started on Wikipedia after working on a project that involved addresses from the 1950s. I was jotting down odd little town names I hadn't heard of to look up later, and kept getting hits on this page ("city" loosely defined, obviously) and decided to do something about it. In Oregon we also have road signs for historic places that one might want to be able to find some information about. Globe and Austa come to mind. So I feel like Alicel, for example, is not a completely garbage article because there are many current (mostly about the grain shipping there but it's all behind a paywall) articles and historic references to it. (In that rural county, that grain shipping complex is a Big Deal and probably a big part of the county's economy). Speaking personally and as someone who is too tired to go read all the WP:WHATEVER essays, it seems foolish to delete articles like Alicel. I think I'm pretty middle of the road between deletionist and inclusionist. I wasn't heartbroken about this highway junction I created (there was an effort to get the redlinks out of highway articles since it was an effort to convince other editors that they shouldn't be links at all) and I was instigator of the takedown of this funny little place.
Upmerge to the county article if you must, but since not everyone owns a copy of the 3-inch-thick
take my toys and go home, but it's not coming to me at the moment. Valfontis (talk) 11:19, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply

Because I think this needs more than PROD. Trent University holds her papers, but a 6m archive doesn't indicate (nor does worldcat or google scholar verify) that she was a prolific writer. I had hopes for this obit, but she doesn't seem to have done enough to add up to meet academic notability and it's not enough fo the GNG.

The two placename sources disagree slightly: one says flat out that it was a post office, the other calls it a "community" which got its name when the post office was established. What the topos show is what is now a vineyard but also had orchards around it earlier. The aerials for a while show two rows of about six small square buildings (which the topos show as one large building) which might have been cabins for workers. Searching is pretty much useless as the bridge nearby (in both its incarnations) throws out tons of hits, but I couldn't get anything other than a lot map which was not particularly illuminating one way or the other. At any rate I don't have evidence for a town, and a post office isn't notable. Mangoe (talk) 05:20, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just one of many unnecessary "Spain relations" pages. Philosophy2 (talk) 03:51, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • The basis of every AfD discussion is a common understanding of why the nominator thinks the article should be deleted. If we can't understand why the nominator wants the article deleted, then keep !votes can't properly argue against deletion if the nomination is a moving, ill-defined target (and delete !votes have to come up with their own deletion rationales). Procedurally, this should be a speedy keep, and so far nobody has argued that "unnecessary" is a valid deletion rationale, so I stand by my !vote. No prejudice against renominating with a proper deletion rationale. Pilaz (talk) 10:13, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"This is a list of notable fictional institutions". Notable how? The majority of the entries here do not have stand-alone articles. ALL entries are unreferenced (the article sports ZERO footnotes). The division/structure is chaotic and ORish. Political/Governmental grouping includes terrorist and criminal organizations but not "inter-political alliances". It sports both "Other" and "Miscallenous" headings This fails NLIST and GNG; I could not locate any reliable work that tackles this topics (attempts to list important fictional institutions, widely defined). As a navigational aid this is also a failure, since most entries don't even have redirects and many are minor, of little importance to the work they originate from, and are not even mentioned there. For example the long and confusing entry for "Church of the Virgin of Guadalupe" (one of only three churches on the list...) doesn't even link to the fictional work it references (my best guess is George Lopez (TV series) but that article doesn't even mention any church, suggesting it's a very minor location in the setting). I am afraid there is nothing to rescue here. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:25, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Rorshacma: I have to disagree here in detail: The Turn Turtle book picks a Zoological Institute and the Enfield Tennis Academy as examples, so not specifically art institutions. In Abject Spaces in American Cinema, your three examples come from the introduction. Part I then adds very broadly "institutions that contribute to the development of a coherent adult identity", choosing high school and military boot camp as examples. Fiktionalität picks fictional corporations as examples. All three sources, however, make general statements about fictional institutions. How many different areas do you want covered? I'll grant one thing: The sources do not cover all imaginable types of institutions by name. So see my overall opinion below. Daranios (talk) 15:07, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Rorshacma above. Each of these sources, while addressing fictional institutions, has a more specific definition of "institution" from what is being portrayed in this list. I'll stand by my !vote that this content should be covered in more narrowly defined lists of fictional organizations. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:09, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is an indiscriminate, mostly unreferenced list that fails

WP:GNG. The structure is an ad-hoc, messy ORish division into crime syndicates, crime families and clans, street gangs, motorcycle gangs, prison gangs, and even paramilitary organizations thrown in for good measure (in other words, the structure of the article is not grounded in any academic typology of gangs and is just amateurish and chaotic fancruft). There are no inclusion criteria, and the list includes numerous gangs that are just mentioned in passing in some works. For example, I am a fan of Shadowrun RPG and I even wrote the wikia entry on Shadowrun gangs - but to my surprise, most major SR gans are not on our list but we have the random entry for https://shadowrun.fandom.com/wiki/Kingston_Machine_Posse , a topic mentioned in passing in a minor game supplement. The argument that this is some sort of navigational aid cannot be taken seriously as the vast majority of gangs mentioned here are not notable, nor do they even redirect to a notable work. The amount of possible hoaxes contained here is hard to assess. While arguably the topic of gangs in fiction may be notable, this list is IMHO not salvageable.

This is no longer the case after the major clean-up, so I think it qualifies as a navigational aid for those interested in the topic. As they are treated elsewhere on Wikipedia, that they are not referenced here is not a major concern, and the primary sources are given anyway. The fact that the formating may not be great is no valid grounds for deletion, because it is

These systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative. Furthermore, arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided."

    Except articles still need to meet GNG. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:59, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikipedia:Notability#Why_we_have_these_requirements Because these requirements are based on major content policies, they apply to all articles, not solely articles justified under the general notability criteria. They do not, however, apply to pages whose primary purpose is navigation (e.g. all disambiguation pages and some lists).
    Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone_lists There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y") or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists, although non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations are touched upon in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability.
    So two places in the Notability guideline page it says you don't need to meet the GNG if you are a navigational list, which is clearly what this is. Dream Focus 11:40, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    But this is a list of X, not list of X of Y. And lists of X have to meet GNG. Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:20, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The practice of wikilinking real organized crime outfits here also muddies the waters further. Most of the bluelinks are in fact redirects to more unsourced content. I could definitely see an article on "Organized crime in fiction" that discusses the cultural portrayals of such with academic sourcing, but for the keepers, do tell, what is really worth saving here? Also rather dubious and reductive to sort street gangs by race without sourcing which discusses the significance of that. Race and its importance for gangs is usually a contextual matter i.e. who gives a shit if the Baker Street Irregulars are "European", they're based in 1800s London. -Indy beetle (talk) 22:13, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That such an article is lacking in certain areas is a relatively minor problem, and such articles can still be of benefit to Wikipedia. In other words, the remedy for such an article is cleanup, not deletion."

    Navigational since it helps people find articles if they are searching for this. If its a valid category, Category:Fictional gangs, then its valid information to have on a list. Lists offer more information than a category does, so are more useful.
    I have removed plenty of bad entries. Proper editing to fix problems, instead of outright deletion, is always the best choice. Dream Focus 05:52, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Saying it's always the best choice to not delete a list article is a bit of a stretch. Obviously there are cases where deletion is the prefered outcome. No know does any guideline say "keep every list article no matter what." That aside though, it's laughable at best to say this helps as a navigational aid. I clicked on several links a while ago and they went to articles that had nothing to do with the gangs that the link was suppose to be for. How exactly is being sent to a bunch of articles that have nothing to do with the topic of the list navigationally helpful to any one?
Obviously
WP:CLNT says "each method of organizing information has its own advantages and disadvantages, and is applied for the most part independently of the other methods following the guidelines and standards that have evolved on Wikipedia for each of these systems." The sentence makes it clear that we aren't suppose to recreate categories as lists just for their own sake, without considering the specific guidelines and standards for lists. So just being like "keep because category" isn't really valid on it's own or really at all IMO. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:02, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply

If there are any bad links left then they can be removed, as I have already done with all the bad entries I saw [39]. Many of these fictional gangs have their own articles, and others are mentioned significantly in the main article for the series, so are valid to be on the list.

  • Yes, and the source must be in the exact language "List of fictional gangs" or it should be tossed out. Seriously, Wikipedia is not a battleground or talk show or a courtroom where adversaries spin evidence to favor a narrative, so when totally clarifying common sense reliable sources come to light, with 'delete' arguments proven incorrect (i.e. 117 people view the page daily offsets "nobody reads this") that maybe should be enough sometimes for everyone to say "cool, another page saved" and move on.

  • @Piotrus: The guideline as it is now does not seem to share your take on this, presumably reflecting majority consensus.

Otherwise they or you can copy the list to their sandbox and finish the work there (we could even draftify this).

  • Keep. Like Geschichte has said, much of the relation that has made coverage relates to the Rwandan genocide. Spain sent 20 blue helmets in the aftermath ([41]), but most of the spat between Kigali and Madrid has happened in 2008, when a Spanish judge decided to prosecute 40 Rwandans for genocide ([42]), and the Rwandan media picked up the affair during the visit of a Spanish high-ranking diplomat ([43]). In 2010, Spain's PM Zapatero boycotted a meeting chaired by the Rwandan president ([44]) and sought extradition of a Rwandan from South Africa ([45]), which Rwanda opposed. After Spain reformed its laws on universal jurisdiction under a new conservative government, the case was dismissed in 2015. ([46]). Relations have warmed since then, with Spain identifying Rwanda as a key country of economic interest for Spain's Africa strategy ([47]), and the signing of a memorandum of understanding to increase bilateral cooperation between the two countries in 2020 ([48]). With the sources I have provided, I think this article meets the GNG - and that's without delving into the relations between the two countries around the time of the genocide.

These lists are purely

WP:RS
preserving such lists.

Contrary to

encyclopedic topic that already has its own article", we have List of converts to Hinduism from Islam, but no Conversion to Hinduism from Islam. We have List of converts to Islam from Christianity but no Conversion to Islam from Christianity. We also have List of converts to Islam but no Conversion to Islam (a redirect), and we have List of converts to Sikhism but no Conversion to Sikhism
.

While it is clear that most of the listed names on these articles had no effect of religion on their career and many of the sources used on these lists are now prohibited by

WP:RSPS
, another major issue with the maintenance of these lists is that we will never have a proper criterion as the subject of 'conversion' is not unambiguous. Here are the problems that editors including me have faced while maintaining these lists:

  • If the person is alive (
    WP:BLPCAT
    but other editors argue that if no sources dispute the information of a said conversion then it should be included.
  • If a person is not alive, then the entry should ensure
    WP:V
    is met, but it happens often that one account is contradicted by another account and the said source is not qualified enough to make an assertion about the conversion. Most of the time the source is not explicit about the conversion let alone identifying how the conversion happened.
  • If a person is either alive or dead and the source assessed conversion by judging the traits or works concerning the individual but the information would itself fail
    WP:UNDUE
    if presented on the person's main article.

These are some of the few reasons that result in endless edit wars on these pages and no agreement is ever reached and the pages are left in poor shape.

It is also unclear that what really counts as a 'conversion'. Does it mean that a person is supposed to take birth in a religious family or they should adhere to a particular religion before they convert to another religion? Even if either requirement is not fulfilled, there are sources that would speculate something only by judging the surnames or background of the said person. What if people like Cheryl Spector, Noah Wyle, Salman Khan, and others were raised or followed more than 1 faith but a source happens to focus only on 1 of their faiths?

If information about a 'conversion' is necessary then it is best maintained on the individual's own article instead of using these lists that are prone to disruption. Georgethedragonslayer (talk) 04:22, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BEFORE
for Wood, Louisiana:

General search

Just directory listings:

https://geotargit.com/index.php?qcountry_code=US&qregion_code=LA&qcity=Wood - Site contains a box that pre-enters Wood, Louisiana into the box. Uses Google Maps embed to plot point on a map. Below the embed are "Webcams near Wood". Below that are two tables which would only be useful for the purposes of being a sort of travel guide - one shows the distances of Wood, Louisiana from nearby cities such as New Orleans and Baton Rouge - the other shows the distances of Wood from the 10 most populated cities in America to use. Rest of the page is unrelated. Not useable as a source to establish notability.

https://www.travelmath.com/cities-near/Wood,+LA - Merely gives information on cities, hotels, airports, etc, etc. near Wood, LA. Purely a travel guide that could not be used to establish notability, per

WP:NOTGUIDE
, item 2.

False-positives and other nonsense

This

WP:BEFORE was complicated by Google also listing Wood in Louisiana, alongside similary named places in the state (like Big Wood, LA). Google also brought up stuff like[69]
that doesn't talk about the location, but rather expenses for a "Louisiana Avenue" in the District of Columbia.

There's also this junk removal service page[70] (which would never be used as a source anyway), which isn't ACTUALLY a removal service in the area like it says, just a way to find their services near you area - the map embed doesn't even point to Wood, LA.

If you choose to show the ommitted results, the results detoriate into mostly listings for Wood in Louisiana.

Google News search

The two pages of Google News results were all unrelated to Wood, LA. Most results instead were about Ruston, Louisiana... for some reason.

Google Books search

Various false-positives. This[71] book that shows up only makes mention of - you guessed it - Wood in Louisiana. Nothing to see here.


1[72] 2[73] 3[74] 4[75] 5[76] 6[77].

More false leads, not useable as sources as they only talk about either Wood in Louisiana or something else unrelated that contains the word "Wood".

In fact, the rest of the Google Books results from there are entirely irrelevant to "Wood, Louisiana".

Google Scholar

Nothing related to the town. Similar to the previous results, results were about either Wood in Louisiana or something related. Nothing useable[78].

Conclusion

Search yieleded no usable sources. Delete as failing

Fails WP:GNG. Another article largely sourced from the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Almost all interaction is multilateral not bilateral through Spain-Caribbean Community Fund (CARICOM). No embassies, and the article says practically no trade. LibStar (talk) 01:23, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Esta nación, Dominica, tiene lazos históricos y directos con España. La nominación para la eliminación de este artículo ya cruza una linea intolerable.

  • Delete, the article is grasping at straws to construe relations between these countries. Spain were very present in the general area, but it is not supported that they were on Dominica.

  • Weak Delete I could not find any references either, so I would say this fails GNG, NFILM, etc. However, with the actors in that movie, I find it hard to believe that there wasn't something somewhere talking about this at some point. I'll change my viewpoint if an expert can add that information, but I have a gut feeling that it may not be available even through a cinema expert.
