A poorly sourced article about a young adult who did stupid stuff when he was a minor. I had moved it to draft and discussed it with the article creator on my talk page, but they prefer to have it AfD'ed instead.

Something like "biographymask", the first source, is absolutely terrible and should probably be blacklisted (the same goes for "celebritygossip", source 5, whihc is very similar and seems equally computer-generated bullshit). The remainder are mostly "funny" articles from long ago, when the subject was a child, plus a bunch of unreliable sites (geni and so on) and copyvio links (youtube). In any case, per

notable
otherwise. And we certainly shouldn't have them with unverified claims about his current supposed jail sentence or criminal activities, as some of these "sources" claim.

If anyone wants to G10 speedy it as an attack page instead of having a full AfD, be my guest.

So two major television shows, and being the subject of a song by a top 10 Billboard album, from artist Megan Thee Stallion who won a multiple Grammy Awards isn't notable? Regardless of when it was, the serial killer was a child. Additionally, 2019 Goodfield arson names the Child and if you look at it List of youngest killers and is a redirect from the childs name of Kyle Alwood. In fact most of the names are given. There are also multiple news articles that give details about him. [1] He is another internet star as is Bhad Bhabie, Star Wars Kid, David After Dentist, Charlie Bit My Finger, David Bernal, Dramatic Chipmunk, and Judson Laipply.

I understand that you feel that he has been fully named for years. He feels no shame for it and as you stated he embraces it. Your very argument can be made against Bhad Bhabie, who hadn't done anything famous except for the quote, "Catch me outside, how about that?", which became a viral video meme and catchphrase . She was age 13 at the time she became famous for that. Is her behavior the message you want to bring across? Probably not, but its still generally notable. Her article survived an AFD. [5] BlackAmerican (talk) 04:45, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Bhad Bhabie had released a single which had charted in the Billboard Hot 100 at the time of that AfD. On the other hand, Milton has been used by others, but hasn't done anything himself to be considered a notable person. That some parts of society have no qualms in abusing a troubled youth to increase readership, laughs, ... is their problem, ut hardly something we should emulate. Our BLP policy is there to protect people, to "do no harm": while this doesn't mean that serious criminals shouldn't have an article, it does indicate that someone who did some stupid small-scale criminal stuff when they were young should be included here.

Fram, you are putting forth a moral argument rather than GNG. Bhad Bhabie, peaked at 79 on the top 100, while Latarian, was the subject of multiple shows including comedy central, and the boondocks, as well as a Grammy Award Winning artist. In fact the album that he was the subject of peaked at number 10. [6]. His coverage passes GNG, which states, "General notability guideline

Shortcuts WP:GNG WP:SIGCOV A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject,

"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. The book-length history of IBM by Robert Sobel is plainly non-trivial coverage of IBM. Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton,[1] that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band. "Reliable" means that sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encomp"ass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability. "Sources"[2] should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected.[3] Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability. "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent.[4] "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.[5] If a topic does not meet these criteria but still has some verifiable facts, it might be useful to discuss it within another article. BlackAmerican (talk) 14:34, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, you were comparing someone who hasn't searched notability (or hasn't achieved it as such) with someone who did succesfully aim for fame, which is a false or unfair comparison. In this case, the person fails
Fram (talk) 14:50, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply

I read BLP, it states, "Neutral point of view (NPOV) Verifiability (V) No original research (NOR)" Where did you see that it trumps GNG? If you don't believe its a good comparison, there are articles that compare them and call them kindred spirits. It's in the article. Perp doesn't apply, GNG Trumps Perp. He is known for his commentary not his crime. BlackAmerican (talk) 15:19, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The GNG does definitely not trump
Fram (talk) 15:34, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply

If you look at
WP:PERP, and that clearly states a number of things including, "A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person. Where there is such an existing article, it may be appropriate to create a sub-article, but only if this is necessitated by considerations of article size. Where there are no appropriate existing articles, the criminal or victim in question should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies: Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role.[11] Note: A living person accused of a crime is presumed not guilty unless and until the contrary is decided by a court of law. Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured." So essentially, what does PERP have to do with this IF GNG has been established? BlackAmerican (talk) 14:09, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply
]
Perp is one of the exclusionary rules that may override Basic. "Historic significance" of a crime, and sustained coverage of the crime or the event in reliable secondary sources, for me isn't the same as being sampled by a musician and being mocked indirectly by some TV show. The crime is not historically significant, it is not the topic of sustained indepth sources, factual reporting, ... things which would actually support a biography.
Fram (talk) 14:30, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply
]
What you stated simply isn't the case. Additionally, it states "Where there are no appropriate existing articles, the criminal or victim in question should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies:.....For perpetrators,....The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy" Based on this, it should be included.

  • Delete per "be kind to one another". My opinion on BLP duty of care varies; there are positions on it I think counterproductive. Nonetheless, Fram's last sentence If anyone wants to G10 speedy it as an attack page instead of having a full AfD, be my guest is coming from a very real place. It does not improve the encyclopedia to have this. It does not improve anyone's life to have this. It is not an article where significant negative coverage is due and justified (there are plenty, but it isn't one). Vaticidalprophet 02:56, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. While this discussion certainly leans more towards keeping the article than deleting it, I don't think that there is abundantly clear consensus in either direction regarding whether or not the available sources represent significant coverage. Among the keep voters, there appears to be general agreement that the article should be moved to

boldly move the article, since such a move doesn't seem particularly controversial. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 21:31, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply

So, this was a girl who was convicted of bestiality and executed four hundred years ago. The article cites two books that apparently discuss this incident, but makes no mention of why this particular case is more notable than other historical bestiality convictions. The girl was not otherwise notable.

I googled the girl's name and it seems that the sources who wrote about her are more than what is mentioned in the article.

  • I find it sad that they used to convict the animal as well, but that was the standard practice for a very long time, ridiculous as it seems to us now. The crux of this to my mind is that the sources all seem to be discussing the history of how the law responds to bestiality, and have collected incidents. What I'm not seeing is how this one is more significant than the myriad other examples, perhaps because it involves a young girl? In any event if it is kept I do agree that it should be moved to be about the trial.

Actually, we do have Animal trial. Maybe one could consider merging there; but the focus seems to be on trials where the animal is the only "defendant", so not sure that's really appropriate. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 01:43, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure if it is really for us on WP to decide whether the example really is significant. If it is discussed and analysed by multiple sources (and used as a standard case study), as I think I have shown it is, then it is notable. The case is kind of analogous to Menocchio (though of course he's much more obviously notable). Furius (talk) 18:52, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The whole putting animals on trial is indeed bizarre to a contemporary observer, but OTOH sometimes a good lawyer could successfully defend them, see for exampele the Auton Rat Trial. Regards, 31.41.45.190 (talk) 05:05, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @
    Beeblebrox: umm yuck. Kind of vaguely reminds me of the sexology stuff, definitely not the kind of topic area I would like to be involved in. Anyway either the topic of an article is notable or it isn't, and I largely agree with Furious that it isn't for us to decide which case studies we like or not, when academic sources treat something as a standard case study and provide analysis we do so as well. My initial thought on the NOPAGE question was that this would best presented in context with other early modern european trials regarding sexual behaviour but I don't know enough about how legal content is usually organised to say anything definitively. If there isn't a good merge target or standard practice is to have separate articles then we end up with a bit of a niche article but sometimes that is really the best way to do things and they can be done well (e.g. Glass Age Development Committee). I do sympathise with your cause and there are times I think it would be better to just delete articles that are frequently brigaded by advocacy editors regardless of notability, but ultimately that's not how policy works. Anyway, I'd just watchlist it or if your watchlist is already out of control bring it to the attention of others to keep an eye on things. Regards, 31.41.45.190 (talk) 03:37, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply

I don't think this radio show meets the notability requirements for Wikipedia articles. The article feels like an advertisement for a small radio show which just happened to be broadcasted on SIRIUS XM Radio. Most of the references cited are just links to videos on YouTube or their Facebook page. There is also a draft about Steve Covino who is one of the hosts of the show which was declined for submission because "submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article". The same issues also appear on this article. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 17:32, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure how much "notoriety" is needed to maintain a Wiki, but the show's hosts were on international TV and radio platforms for over 15 years between their radio show on Sirius XM, their TV show on SNY, and their TV show on ESPN. The hosts are actively looking for more TV opportunities in addition to continuing to broadcast their radio show via podcasting on Patreon and Twitch. The pandemic severely affected their careers. If they were to once again return to television, I would assume that the new show would be listed on the Wiki of the network they would be employed by. The existing article should remain to chronicle their career and future endeavors, especially as they are both in their 40s and have plenty of time to grow their notoriety. Let me know if more sources are needed to help. Mercerboy (talk) 13:49, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mercerboy, I've tried to find some notable sources about this show, but I haven't been able to find a major source other than the New York Daily News article, which is the most notable source used. If you can find some by all means add them to this discussion. But it should be noted that an account under the name Covinoandrich had edited the article years ago and has been blocked indefinitely since September 2013. There is a neutrality issue with this article. And a look at their edit history shows a conflict of interest. Thus the notability of this article is clearly a concern. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:38, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would be happy to try and find a way to enhance the "neutrality" of the article. As I am not a regular editor, I would need to find some guidance on this.

As for their show on Sirius/XM - since they did not renew their contract, SXM would have removed most if not all of their previous references to the actual radio show on the platform. The show was broadcast on SXM from January 2005 until February of 2021. The hosts are still employed by the company but only in their "DJ" roles on stations such as SXM Turbo with Covino and Pop2K with Rich Davis

There are a few articles which reference interviews from their SXM radio show where "entertainment news" was made with celebrities such as How Serious Are Zooey Deschanel And ‘Property Brothers’ Star Jonathan Scott? and This Is Us’ Chrissy Metz Shoots Down Rumors She’s Engaged to Bradley Collins. Their YouTube page has multiple video interviews with some of the celebrities they interviewed while on Sirius/XM.

I did find another write-up from the NY Post referring to the SNY show.

Not sure who controlled the Covinoandrich handle. I believe that there were some instances when the Wiki had been altered as a joke, usually referring to something that was heard on the show. The article should probably be restricted for editing as radio show listeners have a tendency to enjoy "pranks." Mercerboy (talk) 19:41, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is only a few articles and the interviews with celebrities don't help much to establish notability. Almost anyone who is on the radio can get interviews with actors and such. Unfortunately, this makes deletion favorable. And the article doesn't need to be protected from vandalism. Right now the debate over deletion is the more pressing concern. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:05, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article looks like it's confused as to whether it's about the radio show or the hosts, so it decided to do both.

Keep I find it notable. We learn so much on Wikipedia about people who we have no information about.

This sounds like you're just trying to say you want to keep it because you like it and think it's interesting. You're new, and your only edits so far have been to AfD, so here's a few quick tips:
  • What you find notable may not actually be notable. See
    WP:GNG
    for guidelines on what is and isn't deemed notable on Wikipedia. These also branch out to other notability guidelines for different topics.
  • Articles are not kept based on how interesting they may be, how much you or others like it, or if we have information on that person. There's no Wikipedia article about you, is there? Exactly. And don't create one, because it'll be gone within an hour.
  • No one is deleting this due to their personal point of view. It's being put up for deletion due to it basically being an advertisement without notable, verified sources.

I fixed the unsigned comment. Sorry, I am still a new editor and I am learning. I hope to become a well known editor on Wikipedia. Thanks to one user who told me about signing with comments.

I would like to mention that I do not understand why we should nominate articles for deletion just because they are articles that are not important to us? User Spiderone has multiple articles that he published about Indian sportsmen with broken links and which seem ultimately promotional articles. As Lebanese journalist from Jounieh, Lebanon I and many other Lebanese and non Lebanese journalists have interest in researching notable people on Wikipedia. This website is the ultimate online encyclopedia. In this particular article I found nothing promotional compared to your articles Spiderone. This article has many verifiable sources of an incident that happened and what happened after the incident. When Lebanese and non Lebanese editors or journalists as myself want to get information about this person we come to Wikipedia. This person is known in Lebanon and everyone has a right to research information about him on Wikipedia for journalism and non journalism purposes. Some of these users are not giving valid explanations as to why this article should be deleted? There are multiple verifiable sources listed above and if someone who is NOT notable to you it doesn't mean they are not notable to other's. Non of you are Lebanese and I understand that. If discrimination stories seem irrelevant to you they are not to US and other minorities. This is like saying we shouldn't publish articles about African Americans, latinos, and LGBTQ, and Arabs. This is against what Wikipedia is about. Every notable human in any country deserves to have an article about them. One user on SPIDERONE's talk page mentioned that "just because one is on the Persian Wikipedia that doesn't mean that this person should be on the English version" this comment is clearly biased and it exhibits SPIDERONE's intentions for nominating articles about Arabic and Persian figures deleted. According to Spiderone "whether he has an article in Persian Wikipedia is irrelevant" This thinking should not be allowed on Wikipedia. I am so glad that I seen this article and I seen how some users think. In the name of equality, I ask for an admin to review this article and other similar articles. As a long time user SPIDERONE is also being backed by long time users in the nomination for deletion without reasoning. I will be sending emails to the Wikipedia board of directors and Gil Penchina. I will forward all this abuse that is happening on Wikipedia and the discrimination. When I joined this amazing online encyclopedia, I expected fair treatment and no discrimination. I joined with a mission of writing a book about ever notable Lebanese person that existed. These types of users are interfering with my mission and the mission of any other journalist. This is not the environment I expected.Tony A. Al-halab Lebtimes 03:22, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a completely unnecessary personal attack and an unfounded accusation of racism against me. That being said, if you feel that the Indian footballer articles that I have created are promotional and non-notable then please propose their deletion but may I please ask that you notify me when doing so. Whether or not a figure has an article in a foreign language Wikipedia is still irrelevant as a keep argument.
WP:GNG is clear in its requirement for reliable sources covering the topic in depth which is ultimately failed here. There is clear consensus within the Wikipedia community that paid-for press content is not acceptable and doesn't make someone notable. This applies even to a White American or White European so the accusation of racism is ludicrous. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 08:41, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply

This is an attack on Lebanese people. I am Lebanese and Christian just so you know. We do not discriminate against religion in Lebanon. Nothing you are saying is correct. Check each source above and tell me how they are paid? This is not personal attack. The links in your references are broken. I checked each source in the above articles and it doesn't say paid. I gave you the benefit of the doubt. The links above are not paid. If they we're paid I would believe what you are saying. Something does not seem correct here. Tony A.

I am done arguing with any of you. I came here to write a book about every notable Lebanese person that has ever lived. Instead, I am creating a report with evidence and screenshots to send to the Wikipedia board of directors and CEO. I have evidence already of a lot of biased behavior. Alot of you are going to hear from top administrators for making false claims. This guy cannot tell the difference between a non paid news article and a press release and he wants to give people direction. I'm done. Forget the book.Tony A.

It literally says "Sponsored: Advertising content" at Fox. All of the other references used had similar warnings. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 16:03, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am mentioning the above references, in the talk page. I clicked on each one to verify what you are saying. It says information about his college incident. I did not find the word sponsored. Tony A. Al-halab Lebtimes 16:09, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also found a news article in Arabic and linked it above in my first comment. I also seen an Arabic article linked by the author above as well. I understand that you do not speak Arabic but those are not sponsored. We know these news channels in Lebanon. Maybe the references need updating. I am not sure however the above articles are not sponsored. I checked them.Tony A. Al-halab Lebtimes 16:13, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It says "Sponsored: Advertising Content" just below the article date. If you want to write a book about Lebanese people that you consider notable, nobody is stopping you. However, Wikipedia has criteria for articles that this one simply does not meet. If he is so well known in Lebanon then there should be independent references showing that. The only one that has been presented is an Arabic-language translation of another article that is itself insufficient. ... discospinster talk 16:18, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I checked each article above on this talk page and not one of them said sponsored. You gave your insight yesterday and mentioned that they are not notable for filing a discrimination complaint. Discrimination does not mean anything to you, okay. Now you are copying Spiderone's words. Spiderone and I are dealing with it. Please stop interfering with irrelevance. Your input is not needed. You are saying the same thing Spiderone is saying. Tony A. Al-halab Lebtimes 16:24, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly suggest that you read
WP:NOTNEWS, Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be. Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event, in proportion to their importance to the overall topic. Coverage certainly doesn't extend beyond this one minor local news story. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 16:27, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply

Honestly, let's just have an administrator confirm everything. Leave it up to them. I am knew on Wikipedia and not an expert yet however, I am an honest person. He is very popular in Lebanon. We all know him. Before and after the incident. Let the Administrators decide. There are articles in Arabic Tony A. Al-halab Lebtimes 16:30, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Dhulbahante forts" is pure original research and is not mentioned anywhere in any academical sources anywhere. Searching it on Google only returns results from Wikipedia. It seems that Heesxiisoleh is attempting to spin Dervish history to make it seem exclusive to one clan only while negating the involvement of other clans, notably clans of the Isaaq subclan such as the

Habr Yunis and Habr Je'lo, something which a source that this user frequently cites does as well (see [9]
for that). It took me a while to remove mentions of it.

I might be considering filing a report on this user after this as well as this is an issue much deeper than this.

The result was delete. Consensus is that there isn't reliable source-based evidence to establish notability required for this hypothesis. Having received a grant is not an indicator of notability, which frequently came up. Whether a re-direct would be helpful to readers looking for information on the topic is an editorial discussion.

    "There is not enough coverage in the scientific literature from people independent of the proposers " do you not understand how science writing works, it has to pass independent peer reviewers, more than 20 peer reviewed papers have been published on this theory. That means a lot of independent researcher have been looking at it and endorsed it for publications, plus editors of good journals. It is the critics of the theory that need to pass some peer review, something they clearly not have been able to do yet. Well there is a blog, and there is a journalist citing anonymous physicsts that it is pseudoscience. Ohh, some working on theories that this theory goes against that leak some info to a magazine journalist and for this reason you try to back up your argument for pseudoscience. Nice try!

  • Weakly neutral or redirect As one who inflamed the debate, I feel obliged to say something. Some points: (1) Per StarryGrandma, it's speculative science, not pseudoscience (there's apparently one journalist who called it pseudoscience; and no scientists on the record that have denounced it as such.) (2) It's marginally notable: At least three pop-sci articles dealing with it. Clearly it has a fan-base. (3) Primary sources are thin. All primaries appear to have McColluch, the proposer/inventor, as co-author, except for one critique, which points out the calculations are absent from the primary sources, and when the calculations are actually performed, one gets a different result from the original claims. (4) I've personally verified the calculations. They are missing in McCulloch's work, and the single critique made by Renda appears to have errors. Its frustrating that no one, including McCulloch himself, have taken the time & effort to publish a reasonably correct derivation of the claimed effect. (5) Although I personally find the core idea plausible and worth investigating, it does appear (to me personally) that McCulloch himself behaves in a cranky, pseudoscientific fashion. QI is proposed as a cure for half-a-dozen scientific mysteries; the magnitude of the effect is adjusted by a factor of ten to suit whatever mystery is being discussed. Nothing deeper or more refined is ever published - no amplifications, corrections or further developments or evolutions of the idea. (*) To conclude: I won't attempt to apply WP's various rules & guidelines for this situation/article; that's for someone else to do.

  • Could the editors referring to pseudoscience reference by a journalist and a blog explain why they think this should have much more weight above many peer reviewed published papers. The editors claiming it is pseudoscience have a clear parallel to working similar to these: "100 Authors against Einstein" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_theory_of_relativity#A_Hundred_Authors_Against_Einstein We are clearly talking about a vendetta against a person and a theory! I personally am skeptical to much of QI, do I want to delete information about it due to a journalist and a blog, of course not, I am not anti-scientific! Scientific questions can take 100 years of discussion to be settled. It is not done by journalist or even scientist screaming pseudoscience without their critics passing peer review and further discussion. These editors should explain why their argument make sense. Please explain to us! The history of science tell us exactly why also critics must pass peer review over time, and why not even 100 voices not passing peer review and or other (scientific standard) should be given much weight! These editors should be investigated if they are qualified or if they have a special agenda! XOR'easter and Tercer both claim to be physicists, how can it be they prefer to give MUCH more weigh to a blog and a journalist that loads of peer reviewed papers? ChrisCalif (talk) 16:22, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    This is sufficiently explained by the
    independent of the subject (irrespective of peer review) do not to count towards notability. In this discussion, whether it is pseudoscience or valid science is irrelevant, and comments on that should be ignored. —Quondum 17:37, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply

But Tercer, even a self claimed physicists, are using this as one of his main arguments to delete "I find it wrong to justify the existence of an article with sources saying the topic is a concatenation of buzz words and bullshit or pseudoscientific. Tercer (talk) 09:01, 8 June 2021 (UTC). So when someone have falsified your main arguments u just keep putting the deletion policy on another knob? Most independent that have followed what has happened clearly see that this is some kind of vendetta! A physicists using a blog and a journalist as part of his main argument against loads of peer reviewed published papers looks indeed more like a vendetta! Will this be taken into account, or are suddenly all the negative editors only on to one argument: lack of notability? Please explain? ChrisCalif (talk) 17:43, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Quondum do you stand behind your arguments on the talk page of QI "from a perspective outside of WP, the idea of quantized inertia is categorically pseudoscience"," and you wrote on another page “ "every time I try to read a paper by McCulloch I am freshly appalled. [...] it needs to fit the reality: QI is horribly audacious pseudoscience, so we can't present it in a way that it could be perceived as believable. —Quondum 21:46, 4 June 21"
This based on a blog and a journalist or your own personal prejudice? Quondum now seems to have changed totally tactic for argument for deletion. Should we really trust a person ranting around on wikipedia (a public website) "QI is horribly audacious pseudoscience" and then suddenly switching to "whether it is pseudoscience or valid science is irrelevant". Should such highly biased editors be given any voting powers. This indeed look more like a personal vendetta against QI and perhaps agains even Mike McCulloch himself, we know Dr. McCulloch has attacked existing theories, but it is peer reviewed published critics. That he likely have made som researchers feeling furious about peer reviewed critics of their theories should be taken into account. A handful of editors at best (perhaps even some with multiple accounts) now just need something to hang QI on to delete it, and with it all or most of the critics of their behavior. ChrisCalif (talk) 18:04, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also worth thinking about in terms of thinking about if some editors here very biased " I suppose we need to be more brutally explicit on the talk page. I guess I'll be the one to to do so. —Quondum 15:29, 4 June 2021 (UTC)" From Quondum own talk page where he an XOR'easter discusses how to hit down hard on the QI page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChrisCalif (talk • contribs)


PS I am now threatened by that my account will likely be deleted/blocked, they claim I have harassed editors that want QI deleted (it can be no one else as I only have written critics arguments against these), or pointed out flaws in their arguments? So here we are asked to discuss arguments for and against deletion. Such things as "QI is horribly audacious pseudoscience" is okay to put out on a public page by editors at wikepedia that supposedly should try to be neutral. It is not considered harassment I was told when I asked how I was harassing anyone more than these editors, even if it of course can ruin a persons job, career etc if such information is spread widely in public forums. But to be a bit harsh against editors with such arguments is clearly not allowed? PS I have contributed to wikipedia since the early start (with often years breaks). What we see now is more and more unfair editing, wikipedia is in danger of being used as a propaganda tool by editors spending lots of time here, to marketing their own ideas and own people, rather than to be objective. I am still wonder what is the consensus now about one of the main argument for deleting the article, namely "pseudoscientific", a view now Quondum suddenly says is irrelevant, what about the other editors that have used this argument they still stand behind it? ChrisCalif (talk) 19:07, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Do not delete. As stated above, this is a controversial hypothesis with many detractors, but an article on an unproven hypothesis should not be deleted just because the 'pseudoscientific' attribute has been applied to it. Many papers have been published, removed content should be restored to the WP page. Further new experimental work is starting this year [1] ... I suggest wait a year until this new work is concluded, if the test findings are negative then remove the page. Pteerr (talk) 19:47, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"having his followers brigade edits" please define followers, are other scientists interested in galaxy rotation models and therefore also this theory considered such followers? That someone is following a theory do not mean they are fans of the theory. Most researchers that are following are likely quite objective. So you must document that these followers are just fans without critical sense. I personal am following the theory and just did an edit to the theory, I am not a fan of the theory as I am quite critical to it. This is why the page indeed should have a section mention the critics, but if it is blogs and journalist with anonymous physicists as source this should indeed not be pretended to be strong scientific arguments against it, for that it has to be published in peer reviewed journals.

For sure he also has fans, many that follow people on twitter, FB, instagram or wikipedia pages are just followers of peoples ideas etc. But you are sure all these are fans. Could even critics perhaps find reasons to step up for QI and McCulloch when they see how some wikipedia editors operate?

"Encouraging people to edit an article about one's own theory is about as biased as it gets" even if one at the same time shows to that some anonymous editor want to delete an article based on journalist and blogs claiming it is pseudoscience?

Written further above by one who wants to delete : "This theory and the experiments is a classic example of Pathological Science." :Pathological science is an area of research where "people are tricked into false results ... by subjective effects, wishful thinking or threshold interactions." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_science So more than 20 peer reviewed papers, mostly in very respectful journals (with few exceptions) must have tricked the referees and the Editor(s) into believe in false results, wishful thinking etc. By what, for example by QI tested against galaxy rotation data and fits without dark matter! Sure you or others can ramble about your own pseudo-views on blogs etc. but critics of peer reviewed published science actually require peer reviewed critics! And even when such critics passes peer review and gets published it can take time before the critics is accepted or refuted by others again. More than 20 + peer reviewed papers are published, only 1 critical(?), with constructive critics mostly. Claims such as "classic example of Pathological Science" seems to have zero backing, and must therefore concluded to be a highly biased view based on prejudice. Please debate if one claim otherwise, we are listening, if one has backing for the theory being "Pathological Science" then please provide good sources for such claims, otherwise you should come up with other reasons for delete the article, or change your mind?

It is unknown why some editors consider it pseudoscience, when there is no evidence (no peer-reviewed papers claiming that) and no sources (apart from the sole Brian Koberlein's blog-like article) claiming that. There are over 30 peer-reviewed papers on this theory. It is improbable that a theory published in so many peer-reviewed papers is pseudoscience.

Wikipedia is based on sources and not personal feelings or point of view of editors (see WP:NPOV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view ). Unfortunately some of editors seem to forget that. 88.145.199.104 (talk) 22:55, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's nice that there are several papers on the topic, and also nice to see a grant has been awarded; but there simply aren't enough people working on the topic.

The pseudoscientific argument was bogus, the "Pathological Science" argument is totally bogus and backed with nothing. What is the button one desperately look for to delete (or redirect it to be one line on another page?) the page now? There is also another issue here, if people/editors are using years to build as objective pages as they can, and suddenly a handful of editors with personal views such as; this is pseudoscience, are deleting the page one are discouraging many from contributing to wikipedia. The "senior" editors, based on spending loads of time here can then become bullies and abuse their powers. Why on earth was the page not marked as non-qualified years ago? Sure the argument will be that happens all the time as so many new pages are created, but no this is not the case here. The page has much more reliable reference now than when people spent time building it. I have personally never contributed to it, before last few days, trying to remove unfair pseudoscience label in top of page. But hopefully someone can come up with a much more reliable type of wikipedia soon if wikipedia allow its editors to abuse its rules for personal views.

First, everything after your first two sentences is irrelevant to what I wrote. Second, if you click that link, you'll find that the objection I wrote is correct, something like 80% of papers involve McCulloch. There're a grand total of three papers that don't involve him. Banedon (talk) 00:35, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, there are 4 peer-reviewed papers where he is not a co-author (Renda, Taylor, Pickering and Tajmar et al). In total there are about 30 peer-reviewed papers on this theory. There are also a dozen or so published only on-line papers (in the researchgate, vixra and like) by George Soli and Espen Gaarder Haug. There are also over 25 popular science articles or other publications. There is also a book about this theory. DARPA grant is also very significant. All this confirms that this subject is notable, therefore it should have a Wikipedia article.88.145.199.104 (talk) 10:32, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, so there are four (Pickering wrote two papers) - which is still too low. I originally quoted 80%. 26/30 is more than that. The objection remains. Banedon (talk) 13:12, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The papers by Neunzig, Weikert and Tajmar (only one of which is peer-reviewed) discuss quantized inertia in the context of the EmDrive, which supports the point raised above that quantized inertia isn't noteworthy as a stand-alone topic that needs its own article. Moreover, they show that the EmDrive doesn't work — in short, there's no need for quantized inertia to explain a phenomenon that doesn't exist. That's hardly evidence that Wikipedia needs a whole article on the subject. Rather the opposite, really. One of Pickering's papers is in Advances in Astrophysics, a "journal" from the very-obviously-predatory publisher "Isaac Scientific Publishing" whose most recent article is Chandra "COVID came from space!" Wickramasinghe writing about "Polonnaruwa Stones Revisited – Evidence for Non-Terrestrial Life" [10]. It is not a
reliable source. And saying that a subject is on viXra like that's a good thing is particularly entertaining. XOR'easter (talk) 14:55, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply

From one on twitter "I was doing searches of "Wikipedia" on LinkedIn. The number of Wikipedia Editors offering their services for pay is huge." So then an important question is if any of the editors that want to ban this page has been paid by anyone that makes them biased? I was wondering how some editors have so much time to work on wikipedia, could be many, but if a series of wikipedia editors takes paid to edit for certain interest that seems to be reason for declaring conflict of interest. Little is written about this phenomena (paid wikipedia editors), perhaps worth a wikipedia page on its own, and something that the management could investigate, if it leads to biased editing. PS I am not accusing a single editor here for this, I am just kindly asking if any such conflict of interest. I just searched LinkedIn and got confirmed many people and even firms offering wikipedia editing for pay. May be nothing wrong with it, but it can clearly lead to possible conflict of interest also I think I can see. May be a topic for a own page, so I will not go further on with that here, but likely on other page, is there a page for this topic on wikipedia? ChrisCalif (talk) 08:55, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am now warned that my account will possibly be closed/blocked for pointing out the fact that many wikipedia editors are listing themself to take paid for editing (they lost this on LinkedIn), even firms specializing in this.

Because I find it strange that out of lots of positive popular science articles some editors on this page, that wants to delete, has used the very few popular science articles, by for example a journalist referring to anonymous physicists to declare the theory as pseudoscience. And used the pseudoscience argument as one of main arguments for deletion. Why no focus on the 20+ peer review papers and the very many positive popular science articles. I think one can indeed question the motives for such editing and deletion suggestions. And I am clearly not the only one suspecting that wikipedia has considerably numbers of paid editors working for special interest the do not disclose it.

EMDrive predictions is just a small part of the theory and still a series of labs works on testing if anything in it or not, so why come with prejudice before most labs finished with their tests? The negative test was predicted negative by the inventor of the EMDrive, so it was not really a test, but every voice and result should be looked at, I am in no way a EMdrive expert, why we should hold us self to peer reviewed published research. Such discussions should be let go for some years, in particular when several labs work on tests, before making early conclusions. What about galaxy rotations, it is very good at predicting, something already tested and published by Dr. McCulloch. Certainly there could be issues with this theory also, read up on MOND on wikipedia that theory has lots of issues.

– Again, Do Not Delete. To answer the response by 'Monomorphic' saying 'The inventor is editing the article himself or having his followers brigade edits', my name is not McCulloch and he has not 'had' me do anything. Yes, QI is an unproven hypothesis, but I share the opinion of DARPA and many others that it's of such potential importance that it must continue to be assessed. Is much of this unedifying deletion discussion a demonstration of the first of Clarke's three laws ? ( BTW, Monomorphic also deleted my edit stating that it was a link to McCulloch's personal blog : it was not, it could clearly be seen to be a link to a University of Plymouth official job posting for a QI Research Assistant post, see reference below )

  • Keep or otherwise rename to include "Hypothesis" in the title. The general claim of "Quantised Inertia" has yet to be proven experimentally, but there have been a number of scientific papers written about it including at least one skeptical analysis. The theory makes testable predictions thus it is a testable hypothesis. There are other articles on Wikipedia that could more readily and easily be dismissed as pseudoscience such as those on "Simulated Reality" or "Simulation Hypothesis" as these are not testable in any conceivable form and are more akin to solipsism. Theories and papers going under the name Quantised Inertia are making claims relevant to physics using math and physics concepts and formulas, therefore, even though its not yet experimentally proven, its not proven to be pseudoscience. (An analogy can be made to theories about aether). Just because someone makes a pop-science blog article claiming it is pseudoscience doesnt prove that it is. At least one scientific paper (by Michele Renda, https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.01589) has offered a skeptical analysis of Q.I, and does not conclude it is pseudoscience, but does claim it has flaws and suggests corrections. The paper concludes "such flaws, if they do not invalidate, at least will require a major rethinking of the whole theory". This doesnt claim Q.I is pseudoscience but does offer a skeptics criticism. Even if the theory is disproven, there is no need to delete, as other theories that are disproven (such as the aether) have historical value. My suggestion is that this article can be renamed to "Quantised Inertia Hypothesis". -Skywalker8 . talk 18:00, 12 June 2021 (EST)

Play with the thought for a moment that QI even is wrong in its perdition on EMDrive, something that is far from proven yet, but just assume so for a moment. Should one then delete the theory for such a reason? Not at all, many theories gives many predictions, they need also to be refined and possibly improved over time. Should we have rejected GR because it did not predict galaxy rotations, no instead one suggested the hypothesis of dark matter, that still only is a hypothesis and nothing more yet. So what is the point of deletion, to only have pages about facts? but then much of wikipedia need to go. For researchers it is naturally interesting to be able quickly look up summaries and key elements of theories that have been around for some time, no matter if they end up being wrong, correct, or correct on some points. Wikipedia is for me and many researcher a useful tool for initial research, here one can quickly get some short summary of many theories published in good journals in physics. The wikipedia editors that want to delete really need to think of why they want to delete. It is strange when editors that have focused on argument of pseudoscience which there is little or no reliable sources behind, suddenly have switched to argument about notability. So perhaps my arguments had some impact after all. There are many pages on wikipedia with less reason for notability I think. Block me or not again, call my view disruptive editing. Perhaps now that the page is almost destroyed should be deleted, but better is to re-build it. I will be Back!! (no matter if you like it or not). Adjos Amigos!

declined but I can't see why; as far as I can tell, this is just a reposting of the previously deleted article with no coverage since the initial announcements back in May 2020.

User:Bearcat's previous rationale, which I will copy and paste below, still applies:

Premature article about a radio station that was granted a license in 2020 but has not yet commenced broadcasting as of today. Simply having been given a license is not grounds for an article in and of itself — there have been many, many instances in North American broadcasting of radio stations being granted licenses by the FCC or the CRTC but then failing to actually launch within the authorized period and thus having their licenses expire, so a radio station has to actually be on the air to qualify for a Wikipedia article per

WP:BCAST
, not just get a license.

In addition, I'm only seeing routine coverage and not enough for

. Not private personal correspondence with the station manager, and not Vista's own Facebook profile: article about the station actually having a hard launch, published in a real media outlet other than itself, or no dice.

  • Draft and Redirect: Gotta go with Bearcat on this one. It was too soon then, it's toon soon now. It might be testing, but unless there is an official launch, then no article. Even the owner says it could take "14 months" but he doesn't think it will take the "full two years". That was published on May 27, 2020. The license was officially received from the CRTC on May 25, 2020. So, 14 months from that date is July 25, 2021. Two years, May 25, 2022. Let's check back in in late-July. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:38, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to draft there is a CRTC license and there is media coverage of that license. However, the key ingredient of all radio stations is missing: they're not transmitting any programs on a regular basis. Can you be notable for having won a license? Probably not.

Thanks for the question. It doesn't appear that editors who maintain the article will allow it to be significantly changed so deletion appears to be the only option.

  1. Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics such as (but not limited to) quotations, aphorisms, or persons (real or fictional).
    This is clearly not the case here. We have a list containing closely related entities with a well-defined scope related to an encyclopedic topic: preprint repositories.
  2. Genealogical entries.
    This is clearly not the case here.
  3. The white or yellow pages. Contact information such as phone numbers, fax numbers and e-mail addresses is not encyclopedic.
    This is clearly not the case here.
  4. Directories, directory entries, electronic program guides, or resources for conducting business.
    This is clearly not the case here.
  5. Sales catalogues
    This is clearly not the case here.
  6. Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations, such as "people from ethnic / cultural / religious group X employed by organization Y" or "restaurants specializing in food type X in city Y".
    This is clearly not the case here.
  7. Simple listings without context information showing encyclopedic merit.

Jojar S Dhinsa

Jojar S Dhinsa (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Too much of the information in this article is unverifiable due to contradictory sources. While it is verifiable (through primary sources) that Dhinsa is the CEO and Chair of an organization called the Athlone Group, it is not clear that this is a notable organization. Many sources claim that Dhinsa is a billionaire, but these claims appear largely based on Dhinsa's own claim to that fortune; reliable sources that list UK billionaires (see List of British billionaires by net worth omit Dhinsa's name. Facts in the article that are verifiable:

  • Dhinsa did initiate an effort to purchase Coventry City F.C. in 2004, but the effort apparently faltered when the parties could not agree on who should reveal their financials first.
  • Dhinsa did begin a venture capital firm with Brian Morrissey, an Irish musician, in 2017, but there is no evidence that the VC firm ever actually invested any VC funds in any company, and the firm was dissolved in 2020.

Neither of these verifiable facts appear to bring Dhinsa to the point of notability, and the prevalence of conflicting sources makes it impossible to build a reliable biography of this subject. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:05, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The supposed $23 Billion/year turnover company controled by Dhinsa has a wordpress website with stock images [5] and the LinkedIn profile has 1 employee listed [6]. This puts more doubt on the notability and raises serious questions. BobBobster1 (talk) 08:01, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The validity of Athlone's website shouldn't be a focus, it has little bearing on Dhinsa's notability. Either way, there are a number of news sources detailing Athlone's business activity in recent years [7]. Dhinsa has not been claimed to be a billionaire in any original edits of his biography, several prominent news sources refer to him as a 'multi-millionaire'. His reputation as a prominent UK businessman can be evidenced by referring to various articles and sources referenced in previous article editions. Suggest keeping the page with agreement on edits, viable sources and clarifications. Wellport12 (talk) 08:18, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It isn't notable if it never actually invested in a single company though is it!, no mention of the partnership here [8]. If you look through the revision history of the page, all it is is stuff being posted and then removed because it's not properly (or poorly) referenced. Claiming things and actually doing them are two different things entirely; Approaching Coventry FC for a buyout is not notable, actually buying the club would be. Announcing a Venture Capital fund is not notable, investing in companies with the fund would be. Claiming to divert 90% of profits to humanitarian projects is not notable, proof of those projects would be notable.
As a primary source for the Athlone Group, having a website that claims these seemingly notable things about a company/person with those claims backed up by news articles; I would say it has a huge bearing on his notability if the Athlone Group isn't what it appears to be!. BobBobster1 (talk) 12:31, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The cited UK Tech News indicates that Athlone Ventures raised $300m, but this appears to be the only news source about this VC firm. My argument for deletion is less rooted in the number of news sources about Dhinsa and more rooted in the fact that they seem to be contradictory, and largely based on information Dhinsa himself has provided. There is not enough strongly verifiable information about Dhinsa for us to maintain a reliable biography. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:15, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I have no doubt that this person exists, but I'm very suspicious that his business success is somewhat exaggerated. All of the sources presented are weak and one can't help but wonder if the subject planted the stories himself. He's gotten some coverage in obscure tech news sites, obscure Asian sites, and a handful of local newspapers doing human interest stories. If he were truly one of the most successful business people in the UK, surely we'd expect to see some coverage in The Times, The Guardian, The Financial Times, or The Wall Street Journal. But the best source we've seen is the Coventry Telegraph, a local tabloid with a circulation of 8,434. pburka (talk) 20:59, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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

This list was previously deleted after an AfD on 1 June 2014.

Song lyrics extensively use Simile, Metaphor, Allegory, Alliteration (sometimes words are added just because they sound nice), and every other literary and poetic device known. Sometimes a song’s meaning could be as plain as day, sometimes it is so obscure that it is possible not even the songwriter understood what the meaning is!

This list (as was the previously deleted list) ignores all that and just lists songs with the word ‘rain’ in it. I can see a few that have are as much about rain as my big toe. Therefore

David Eppstein I dont think that C5 applies here but I agree with the rest of your assessment. In Europe often the professorships are fixed and have a historic name (eg group for organic chemistry, for analytical chemistry etc) but that does not mean its a distinguished chair as in the US. If you look at the institute website you will see that each research group has a "name" but that just indicates what they call themselves, it is not a distinction per se (becoming an ETH prof is of course a distinction of sorts, but having a "name" is not a distinction). --hroest 18:41, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Sangli is certainly large enough that a substantive and well referenced article about its mayor could be kept, but the notability of a mayor is established by writing and sourcing substantive content about his political impact, not just by offering technical verification of his election victory in and of itself. But the latter is all this is: following one sentence stating that he exists as a mayor, the rest of the content is just bulletpointing his electoral history without offering one word about anything he did in the job. Bearcat (talk) 01:38, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please read
WP:WAX. Sangli is not even remotely equivalent in international importance to Mumbai, so just because you can find a mayor of Mumbai with a bad, virtually worthless article that desperately needs improvement doesn't mean a mayor of Sangli automatically gets to keep an article modelled on it — Kishori Pednekar also needs to be either improved or deleted, and is not the baseline standard for making a keepable article about a mayor. If you want to see the kind of article a mayor is supposed to have, look at someone like John Tory, Bill de Blasio or Sadiq Khan — you don't get to look for the worst article about another mayor you can find and say that yours has to be kept because it isn't any worse than that, you have to try to make this article the best article possible by modelling it on our best articles about other mayors.

In Maharashtra, most of the news is in local Marathi newspapers However, you can't read Marathi, so this is the main problem To review such Wikipedia pages, you should ask senior Wikipedia Marathi people in Maharashtra to do the same

Everything else you said is true

Bearcat

There is another Wikipedia page 😂😂 👉https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murlidhar_Mohol. The source of the news article in this page is only the mayor who has been elected and no other source of news paper. Bearcat

Right now I had given you an example. so let me reply about that example... Did not get the answer then I will understand that you people discriminate with many people Bearcat

it:Ogiva di Lussemburgo gives a long list of who she was related to and what those people did. There is nothing about her specifically.

Unnotable album. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 05:18, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Another unnotable album by the band Masterplan. Tagged for sources since 2009 (since the article is unsourced) and for notability since 2015. There are three interwikis, but they aren't any better either - the Polish article only contains the cover as an external link, the Hungarian article doesn't contain any sources whatsoever, and on the Portuguese wiki, the title is a redirect to the band. Couldn't find anything that establishes notability. As I said before, the band and their studio albums are notable, but these EPs aren't. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 05:17, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've been looking at this one for awhile now, but am just now getting around to nominating this. Topos show a few buildings at an isolated road junction, nothing of significance on newspapers.com, and searching in other sources didn't bring up any significant coverage. While Carlton Corner, Virginia in the same county appears to have been the location of an old store of some historical significance, I couldn't confirm anything of that sort for this location.

This person got their doctorate from what our article on it describes as "an unaccredited, for-profit, degree-granting institution and resource center in the field of sexology" and self-published a book of her research. She's managed to get a few publications to accept her as an expert on sexual research but does not seem to be recognized, at all, by her peers as an expert. She simply does not appear to be particularly notable.
