Can't find any significant coverage beyond brief mentions as the person who initially uncovered a minor Bush Administration scandal. User:Pburka deprodded due to this mention that she won an award, but that's hardly enough coverage to write an article with, nor (AFAICT) are there any specific deletion criteria that consider awards for journalism Gaelan 💬✏️ 20:53, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Searching for journalists is notoriously difficult because so many of the hits are their own bylines. However I found that, in addition to the Hoosier Press Award, she was named a University of Michigan Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow in 2003 (U Mich press release, New York Times), and she shows up several times in Dead Before Deadline (University of Akron Press, 2004). She's also got a handful of GScholar citations (mostly as NN Derringer), but not enough to make a
    WP:NPROF claim. I think she's clearly more notable than the average journalist. pburka (talk) 21:37, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete - Simply winning a notable fellowship doesn't inherently make one notable. Yes, she has done good work, but, that doesn't mean she merits a Wikipedia article. We'd have every single journalist with an

Ha! Well, I admit - one of my bestfriends is a Murrow winner and she's basically not notable outside of winning the award and it was only covered by the media outlet she worked for at the time. So... will take a lot to convince me that every award winner of a Murrow award meets general notability guidelines due to
WP:INHERITED. Missvain (talk) 17:22, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

I'm puzzled by the reference to NOTINHERITED. That essay says that people aren't automatically notable by dint of a relationship to a notable person or organization. Being associated with an award (e.g. a Nobel Prize bureaucrat) would be an "inherited" claim, but receiving an award (e.g. a Nobel Prize winner) is evidence of notability. pburka (talk) 21:16, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Disagreed, In this article, I have just gathered all the information I got about him from my research and mentioned all the sources as references to verify the statements. And here you are talking about the news source's headlines are "promotional"! Don't you know how to assess a reference? And can you please explain what do you mean by "promotional/promotional tone"? Please kindly mention what is getting promoted here and explain how you can say that he is "not important" after reading the current version of the whole article and the talk page. Coming to another point, What makes a Facebook's unverified fake/fan page's post a strong opposition against this article, and how can you be sure that I have personal relations with him? I clearly said that earlier that I have done it from my personal interest. Why are you opposing the article with irrational opinion and coming with your whole team by taking it personally? If you think any information of the article is irrelevant/going against the terms of Wikipedia, then you and everyone are welcomed to edit to develop the content.

  • Delete Bangladesh is not the financial powerhouse that the U.S. is, or even that Norway is, and the BSEC doesn't have the clout of the U.S. SEC. But I found it plausible, as Phil Bridger suggests, that the chairman would be noteworthy enough that sufficient independent, reliable, secondary sources would exist so that we could write a whole, fair, and balanced biography. So I started editing to fix the promotional tone. Halfway through I regretfully concluded that the nominator is correct. Problems with the available sources include redundancy, a lack of secondary coverage beyond parroting his official bio, and coverage that merely quotes him or say he attended or spoke at a meeting rather than supporting claimed achievements. In 10-20 years, analysts looking back at his tenure may write enough about his accomplishments to justify a stand-alone bio, or he may end up in the dustbin of history. Does not meet

Reads like a subject-provided promotional blurb.

What is Wikipedia to a local Nigerian if the topics around them can not be covered here after meeting the requirements? What are the local outreaches to more grassroot editors for if it is to build content in places far away. In the rise of fintechs, Flutterwave, Paystack and other companies can't be covered here?

Fails GNG and NPOL. Only routine coverage of his gubernatorial candidacy. Obviously, just running for office does not create notability. I do not see any coverage on his Youtube channel. There is one (vanity?) article about his earnings, but otherwise I don't see any in-depth reliable coverage. 1.6 million followers is a lot but that does not create notability by itself (see Wikipedia:WikiProject YouTube/Notability) ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk 18:51, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Add - previously deleted at AfD, but due to recent governor candidacy since prior deletion, I am assuming good faith and putting it back through the process. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk 18:52, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please tell us El Cid, what exactly did your search that prompted you to make this nomination involve? A casual news aggregator search yielded almost 500 articles relating to Paffrath (many in major publications) that were published prior to his candidacy.

  • Add - Paffrath had interview on Fox News - National US news - to talk about governorship
    talk) 07:39, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply
    ]
Being interviewed on Fox News does not create notability. And the subject making videos about himself certainly does not. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk 14:33, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wait or Migrate to draft- I don't necessarily disagree on the status of this article at present, but it has just been created. Paffrath seems to me to be the only major Democrat in this major upcoming election, and could get a lot more coverage. Full deletion feels harsh, very quickly after the page creation. I've made what I believe the mistake of flagging pages for deletion right after creation, and it's not always correct. Let's wait a week or two, or migrate it back to a draft for further work. PickleG13 (talk)
I don't think 'waiting' is a good idea, because then the article will just remain indefinitely. If unnotable pages aren't flagged as they are created, they will remain for years or decades. It happens consistently. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk 23:47, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add - Fox News has released an article about Paffrath's video being removed on Instagram which is related to his campaign. [2] I will be honest, I am a little biased as I am a consistent viewer of Meet Kevin and I will try to be as neutral as possible here. However, I do believe Paffrath will become a major candidate and can see many more articles about him coming to light in the next couple of weeks. Elli21486 (talk) 16:47, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - The Curbed and New York Times pieces are independent (and critical) coverage of his youtube channel. There's also the Nashville Post article about his suit with Dave Ramsey. He's either just under or just over the bar in my opinion. Empire3131 (talk) 17:19, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - The page needs a lot of work. Sections are in the wrong place information is jumbled etc... I think if appropriate information is given to the page it should definitely be kept as I believe Mr Paffrath is standing as a genuine candidate.

[reply]
  • Keep - Business Insider published an article describing Kevin O'Leary's comments on an interview with Paffrath [3]. Pat Hiban has interviewed Paffrath as real-estate investor and developer in Ventura CA [4]. BiggerPockets has also interviewed Paffrath [5]. New York Times has published a multi-page op-ed on Paffrath [6]. Inman News published an article detailing Paffrath's 2019 arrest in connection with a dispute with another real estate investor, Grant Cardone [7]. Statter911 has covered Paffrath's 'citizen reporting' of Detroit home fires [8]. Paffrath is NOT a household name by any stretch. However, the move delete the page from Wiki is pre-mature and has not been fully considered. I don't know or watch the guy, but its clear this is somebody wellknown and influential in real-estate investing circles (not just youtube).

    • Comment No kidding! Sucks for them! Although they did respond saying it's normal for property managers to have credit criteria and to conceal owner identity. Seems like Wiki should probably provide some sort of clarification there given that the phrasing of the NYT article seems misleading with this context. But that is what they said.

  • Delete I point out the NYT article describes him as "one of dozens" That's good evidence of non notability from a RS. Additionally, we should never be influenced by an external campaign to keep a WP article, for it can be assumed that this shows COI. This applies whether the coverage is positive or negative. DGG ( talk ) 16:25, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Take another look at the New York Times article, DGG. "Dozens" refers to the number of videos uploaded to YouTube daily about real estate, and the word does not apply to Paffrath. The NYT didn't write about those other YouTubers but instead chose to publish ten paragraphs about Paffrath. That's significant coverage. The article in its current form is far different than when it was nominated, because experienced, uninvolved editors have improved it dramatically. My "keep" recommendation has nothing to do with any external campaign. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 23:13, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per indepth coverage in this CNBC article, https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/millennial-couple-earns-6-million-dollars-a-year-from-youtube-and-real-estate.html, which, with the lesser mentions, is sufficient for Wikipedia:Notability, and has little to do with running for governor.

There might be non-English sources I'd miss on a

WP:SINGER. The only reference provided is a dead link, but title reads that it was an interview, therefore would not be independent. The only assertion of significance in the article is that he was 'selected as the most popular male artist in 1976 by readers of the magazine Zan-e Rooz.', which is unsourced and would not be a pass of any notability criteria either way. nearlyevil665 13:02, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment (possibly Draftify) - I tried to investigate and vote in order to save this from "no consensus" purgatory, and conducted some searches under the gentleman's Persian name حسن شماعی‌زاده . That name comes up in a lot of Iranian entertainment and news sites, but I do not trust Google Translate enough to determine if those sources are reliable. Also, since his career goes back to 1973 he may have pre-Internet coverage, and I found many results while searching for the Persian name in Google Books, finding tomes that appear to be histories of Iranian music, but once again I am uncomfortable with Google Translate. I think he may be notable in his country's music history but can't confirm. Allow me to suggest Draftify, returning the article to its creator or another recently active editor, with a request to find and translate any reliable Persian sources that may be out there. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:12, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or draftify - I'm OK with draftify. I guarantee if you have Persian readers we can have this article beefed up and it's fine. From the sourcing I found, he is a songwriter that has written hit singles for Googoosh[22][23]. Even just Googling him brings up a ton of photographs and videos - I know that is rather basic, but, clearly this guy is famous, at least in Iran. He was also featured in this book about Iranian popular culture as well as other books[24][25][26]. A lot of these Iranian musicians are living in the US after basically being ostracized by the Iranian regime. Missvain (talk) 18:06, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - based upon his lengthy discography alone in the 1970s and 1980s, it appears highly likely this is a significant musical artist. However, what we have fails
    WP:V, or at least mostly. Do we have label and catalog #s for the discography? That would at least meet V for that section. Regarding Persian sources, what are they? I would say this individual is either quite notable, or this is a hoax. It would appear the latter is unlikely by Missvain's results. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:51, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

It's not a hoax. Sadly, he just isn't popular in English. And again, over the years I've came across these Iranian musicians that are AfD'd because sourcing is hard to find. Many are exiled from Iran and end up in the United States entertaining the Iranian-American community. Sadly, due to my inability to understand Persian makes it tough to find the content needed. This is not an area of expertise of mine due to my monolingualism. But, perhaps the Persian language editors might have some insight, however we find them. Or folks at Wikipedia:WikiProject Iran. Missvain (talk) 15:08, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Making records in Iran in the 70s is nothing to sneeze at. It's not like today when anyone with a smart phone has a discography. I'd say he's notable by a mile, but we need sources. The [Persian] page has a lot of sources, but of course my own monolinguism is an obsticle. I would definately lean towards keep. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 15:31, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PROD declined. My original PROD was Enough to avoid an A7 but the claim, as noted on their own website is actually "one of the biggest and most modern mills", which doesn't appear to establish notability, and a BEFORE/check of the Bulgarian article doesn't identify independent, in depth sourcing to meet WP:ORG.

I have merged most of this content into

The Passenger (Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz novel)
, which is an article on the same book, though it could do with a check by other editors.

I think the more specific title here is necessary as there are other novels of the same name (though none of them have a Wikipedia article).

There is nothing to indicate that this is a notable award. It's a personal award that "reflects the thoughts and philosophy" of the dictator of Dubai. Since it's creation in 2017, it hasn't even been updated. I can find no RS reporting on this. Only press release-style reports by outlets that are tied to the authoritarian regime in the UAE.

He has short plot summaries in printed "Star Trek encyclopedias" like [31] but those sources are not independent anyway (they are just shorter, print versions of wikias for folks who want to have a dust-gathering Star Trek book). Overall, I am afraid there is little to salvage here - sources show no SIGCOV, are either plot summaries or about the actor (not character). At best, redirect to List of Star Trek characters (G–M).

  • Keep per Nom. That is, while I greatly appreciate Piotrus' efforts to enumerate what is available on this character, I disagree that it is insufficient to establish notability. Most specifically, dead-tree books about the franchises are independent, transformative works. A plot summary, for example, is necessarily transformative in that at any point where it does not echo the script or the resultant fictional presentation, it abridges the primary sources and makes an editorial decision about what is important and what is not. Further, RS which discuss the character as portrayed by the actor contribute to notability for both topics: if there's a rule that says there must be an either/or decision, I'm unaware of it. Jclemens (talk) 05:20, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect - The reception listicles are trash, so those are useless. The sourced development info probably has a home somewhere, but I'm not sure if it necessarily needs to go with the character.

    • WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES. For 'This Side of Paradise', I see only the abstract which does not mention the character. For the Fifty-Year Mission, I was able to find a copy, but I can't find any SIGCOV inside. All I see are few sentences of plot summary and a bit about Hertzler ("He’s a terrific actor and was a great Klingon. Very charismatic and fun."). The best I see if from an interview with Ira Steven Behr who says "I always felt that Martok was the truest Klingon that the series had. Martok was a great character and he was full-blown Klingon. I watch that final episode of the series and Martok is just having so much fun". I am sorry, but that's not SIGCOV. Your next source, as you yourself admit, is only in-universe information, so is useless for establishing notability. The last book is in German, and I cannot translate it, so I will withhold any analysis, outside stating the obvious - he is mentioned in five sentences over two pages. That may, more may not, constitute SIGCOV. So far I am not seeing much that would warrant keep - the only English source I could access does not contain any SIGCOV.

So to stick to the example of "The Klingons as Homeric Heroes", that provides only a sentence, but how can the analysis, that Martok's behaviour can be compared to a Homeric warrior be considered trivial? (Which, by the way, is not something Fandom would cover.) On the other hand, if you are rather looking for length, The Star Trek Encyclopedia and Kultur- und Sozialklingonologie and this SyFy article each do have longer treatment (as does the Top Ten Klingon list, but the use of listicles is a different discussion).
Lastly, in what way do the deletion and redirect-only voters think the complete removal (in the case of softdelete at least for the reader) of all that's in the current article actually improves Wikipedia? And do the merge voters think that everything here that has reasonable secondary sourcing is really presented in a better way for the interested reader in a disproportionately large section of a list? And if it does not improve Wikipedia, well,
WP:IAR is a policy, WP:Notability in comparison is "only" a guideline. Daranios (talk) 11:13, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

Stringing together a bunch of trivial sources does not equate to significant coverage. Significant coverage is required on a source by source basis. It doesn't keep editors from using more trivial sources if they benefit the article, but there are some things too trivial for Wikipedia to cover. That's the content that gets discarded during GA/FA campaigns when there's actually enough information to establish notability. That seems to be the bulk of the content being used here, improperly weighted content to give the illusion of actual substance. Reaching what one would consider the bear minimum of non-trivial sources does not mean an article is suitable for inclusion. Properly curated character lists utilizing important real world information are vastly superior to a bunch of semi-stubs. There is nothing that has been shown so far that indicates this article is ever going to improve significantly. TTN (talk) 11:35, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@TTN: How is the comparison of Martok with a Mycenean warrior trivial? How the comparison with Michail Gorbatschow? How is this a "semi-stub"? You are advocating for "Properly curated character lists utilizing important real world information", but you have also voted "redirect". So do you think the current one- or three-sentence entries in the lists in question, with one or no secondary sources, are better than at least merging content from here to there? Do you think anyone searching Wikipedia for Martok will be happier with the list entries as they currently are (there's your "semi-stub"), as compared to getting this article, imperfect as it may be?

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

The topic is not notable. The phrase "Cushitic peoples" occurs relatively rarely in academic literature, and generally as a shorthand for 'groups that speak Cushitic languages'; it almost never occurs as the subject of a book or academic article. There are further problems with this specific page, but the core justification for deletion is the topic's unnotability. I propose (following discussion on the article's talk page) to turn this into a redirect page for Cushitic languages. Pathawi (talk) 07:55, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is my first time nominating an article for deletion, so my apologies if I'm doing this wrong. I wanted to give a little more context for the page. There is sometimes a presumption that the existence of a language implies the existence of a people; the history of English alone should be enough to put the lie to that—English-speaking Jamaicans, New Zealanders, South Africans, & Alaskans are not 'the Anglophone people'. Even before we get to Wikipedia sourcing issues, language-based ethnicities cannot be assumed to exist without specific evidence. In the case of this article, the existence of a Cushitic language family is understood to imply the existence of "Cushitic peoples" as some kind of meaningful macroethnicity. The page is by & large the work of a very dedicated sock puppeteer. This editor's numerous accounts have regularly used bogus citations, relying either on creative misreadings or on total fabrication. As it stands, this page should be considered to be largely misinformation. It does not appear that the subject is otherwise notable: Searching for 'Cushitic peoples' in Google Scholar, I find the term used as a shorthand, in the way described above, but almost never as a name for a macro-ethnicity. The ethnic collective is never the subject of an article or monograph.
Before beginning the AfD process, I started a conversation on the article's Talk page. Every participant supports deletion of this page, without exception. I posted on the pages of every non-sockpuppet editor who has made anything larger than a spelling or punctuation edit to this page within the past year to notify them of the conversation. None has spoken up to defend the page. The proposal that has emerged from the Talk page is that

  • Delete and redirect to Cushitic languages. Pathawi's reasons are all valid. Beyond that, the mere existence of this page enables it to support claims on other pages where linguistic relationships are mistakenly taken as proof of ethnic relationships. Hopefully we can dry this up out by removing this page. LandLing 09:06, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: It appears that this is not a question of the notability of the topic, but rather a debate over the methodologies used in the sources. If a methodology used in a source appears questionable, it's entirely appropriate to cite sources that disagree with the methodologies used in other sources. However, the function of the deletion page is not to eliminate articles that presents scholarship based on methodologies or reasoning that you don't agree with. It's apparent that those criticizing the article's "lack of notability" are not familiar with the subject, and did not read the sources. As I stated below, Wikipedia isn't a collection of knowledge that everyone thinks is valid. It's an assemblage of knowledge that is notable enough to appear in reliable sources. Deletion is a drastic measure that negates enormous amounts of effort. It shouldn't be used unless an article is genuinely based on spurious or malicious content. If it's just badly assembled, then the solution is to edit it. In the present case, it appears that your concern would be alleviated by simply inserting the word "speaking" in between "Cushitic" and "peoples." I personally don't think that's an accurate representation of some of the sources, but Wikipedians are free to have honest disagreements, and they can be amicably and productively sorted in the talk page. That can't happen when content is removed rather than improved.O.M. Nash (talk) 02:16, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: That is not correct & does not reflect anything in the original proposal for deletion nor my follow-up explanatory comment. I don't know why you think this is all about Christopher Ehret. The fundamental problem is a lack of notable sources. The "enormous amount of effort" on this particular page is largely from sockpuppets who have deliberately miscited sources. The complaints against this article aren't what you want the complaints to be: They're what the complainant says they are. Pathawi (talk) 08:33, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Hello Pathawi. My apologies for leveling what appeared to be ad-hominem criticism. Perhaps a bit of my frustration over taking the draconian step of proposing deletion of an article based on reliable sources came through. In my assessment, what appears to be happening is the following:
  1. The term "Cushitic" has a different meaning in other disciplines than it does in linguistics.
  2. The phrase "Cushitic peoples" is used in the scholarship of other disciplines in ways that might draw critique in the field of linguistics.
  3. Nevertheless, there is at least one historical linguist who is using the phrase "Cushitic peoples" in the same sense that it is used in the article, which may not be apparent until you read his explicit definition of the term "civilization."

I think I've provided evidence of the above in my comments below. It appears to me that this article is indeed reflective of existing mainstream scholarship, even if its concepts are presented in a way that is untenable to a number of trained linguists. I would be interested to know if you have the same sense after examining some of the sources cited below.O.M. Nash (talk) 13:43, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SailingInABathTub (talk) 10:15, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Clarification for @SailingInABathTub: I should have foreseen this, but forgot. All of these sources refer to the Kingdom of Kush (3 & 4) or the Cush of the Bible (1 & 2). The former is almost certainly the source of the latter, & thus indirectly the source of the name given the Cushitic languages by nineteenth century European linguists. These sources do not relate to people who speak Cushitic languages as an ethnicity, & it is by no means certain that there is any relationship between Kush & modern speakers of Cushitic languages: In fact, the best accepted theory is that Kushites spoke a Nilo-Saharan language. (I do not mean to endorse that theory, but it's certainly accepted as proven in much academic literature.) So, yes: The subjects of the books you cite are absolutely notable, but despite the similarity in name they are not the subject of this page. Pathawi (talk) 10:25, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, most "Cushitic-speaking peoples" are part of an interesting and valid topic that is often discussed in academic literature, viz. East African pastoralists. Unfortunately, no such article exists, since Wikipedians have been mostly busy in creating spurious articles about "Foo peoples" (i.e. ethnicites speaking "Foo languages") instead of building content based on existing concepts in cultural anthropological literature.Austronesier (talk) 11:36, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The fact that this was nominated for deletion is extraordinarily frustrating. Christopher Ehret is a prominent historian and linguist who has written a history of Africa to 1800 that uses a scheme of identifying ethnic groups by language family. The proposer may have personal issues with that methodology, but contrary to their assertion, the scholarship exists, and it is notable enough to warrant inclusion (unless University of Virginia Press is all of a sudden not "mainstream" enough). You will find his discussion of "Cushitic peoples" in the source below. Several of Ehret's publications are cited in the article, and I'm assuming that the nominator didn't bother looking at them. Further, the incidence of the phrase "Cushitic peoples" in the titles of books and academic articles is an irrelevant measure of the academic coverage of the topic. You should actually do the work of reading the sources before taking a step as drastic as nominating an article for deletion.[1]O.M. Nash (talk) 16:38, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Christoper Ehret's use of "Cushitic peoples" is what was called above a short-hand for "peoples speaking Cushitic languages". In none of his writings does he ever suggest that there is a common ethnicity shared by all "Cushitic peoples", which is the main point of the page that is under discussion here. If you think that Ehret does use the term with this meaning, please provide a quotation. LandLing 20:09, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Read the sources. Ehret conceives of "peoples speaking Cushitic languages" as a meta-ethnicity. Ehret's approach is something that other scholars have criticized him for. However, scholarly disagreement with the methdologies used in the sources is not a reason to delete an article based on reliable sources. In any case, as your comment itself indicates, "Cushitic speaking peoples" is indeed a subject of abundant scholarship, and if you think the article misrepresents the concept as presented in the literature, the solution is to read the sources yourself and make a correction, not delete the article for "lack of notability." Wikipedia isn't a collection of knowledge that everyone thinks is valid. It's an assemblage of knowledge that is notable enough to appear in reliable sources. O.M. Nash (talk) 22:20, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I was going to try to avoid responding to every comment so as to avoid
    WP:GNG:

    "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability."

    Fourth: If we don't have a broader body of scholarship, then we really aren't in a place to write an article about "Cushitic peoples". Given the paucity of detail on "Cushitic peoples" in Ehret's work, an article like any of those on specific theoretical accounts of histories—France profonde, The Geographical Pivot of History, &c—treating his work on Africa as a whole (Cushitic, Nilo-Saharan, Bantu…) might be in order. It would remain to be demonstrated that Ehret's historical reconstructions are in & of themselves notable, but I think that the review literature & the citation within history broadly (not within archæology or historical linguistics) would probably support that. I don't propose writing that article—I'm perfectly satisfied with his work appearing in the History sections of Cushitic languages, &c.: I'm just talking about what kind of article that material would support.

    Finalth: You seem to have a mistaken understanding of how a Google Scholar search works. It is not by default a search of titles. It is a text search. I searched for the term "Cushitic peoples" & looked at all results that seemed plausible. If you'll look at the conversation at Talk:Cushitic peoples you'll find that another editor did the same with similar results. I didn't draw my conclusions from titles. That is a weird & unnecessarily ungenerous assumption.

However, it appears to me that for the most part this concern can be alleviated by simply inserting the word "speaking" into the phrase "Cushitic peoples" Deleting the article entirely for lack of notability doesn't seem correct or appropriate, particularly when a simple correction for the problems in those sections is readily available. As for Ehret, I quote p. 6 of "The Civilizations of Africa": There is, however, another use of the term 'civilization' that, if applied carefully, does have historical validity, and this is the meaning we will adopt in this work. What is this other meaning? Consider the phrases "Western civilization" and "Islamic civilization." In this context, "civilization" refers to a grouping of societies and their individual cultures, conjoined by their sharing of deep common historical roots. Despite many individual cultural differences, the societies in question share a range of fundamental social and cultural ideas and often a variety of less fundamental expectations and customs. These ideas and practices form a common historical heritage, stemming either from many centuries of close cultural interactions and the mutual diffusion of ideas or from a still more ancient common historical descent of the societies involved from some much earlier society or grouping of related societies. In our exploration of African history, we will encounter several key civilizations, far-flung groupings of culturally and historically linked societies, such as the Niger-Congo, Afrasian, Sudanic, and Khoesan civilizations. At times we will also use an alternative terminology, describing these historically linked culture groupings as cultural or historical "traditions." That seems like a pretty explicit conception of language family as meta-ethnicity to me. Several scholars have called this concept into question, but there it is. My take is, the page needs a bit of work. Some of the claims in the two aforementioned sections are probably unsourced. That doesn't invalidate the contents of the entire page, but most importantly for the purposes of this discussion, that also doesn't mean that the subject itself lacks notability.O.M. Nash (talk) 10:59, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • For the closer: Ehret in a nutshell Ehret's book is about (pre-)history, not about constructing modern meta-/macro-ethnic entities. When Ehret says "Cushitic peoples" or "Cushites", he doesn't refer to modern Cushitic-speaking peoples, but rather to the expansion of Proto-Cushitic speakers before Proto-Cushitic differentiated into subbranches. After the differentiation, he carefully refers to the speakers of Proto Eastern Cushitic as "Eastern Cushites", and further to the speakers of Proto Highland Eastern Cushitic as "Highland Eastern Cushites" and so on. As pointed out by the nom: Once the contemporary ethnicites enter the historic stage, Ehret refers to them individually as such, and not as "Cushitic peoples".
    So Ehret's controversial
    WP:SIGCOV for a standalone article, being only a subtopic of two wider topics (viz. 1. the prehistory of Proto-Cushitic expansion 2. the interaction of populations in ancient eastern Africa according to one scholar). –Austronesier (talk) 10:53, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment: It may be that the original creator of the page, and the critics who are calling for its deletion, are both in their own way construing the phrase "Cushitic peoples" far too narrowly. Reading the phrase as referring to a distinct contemporary ethnicity may not be supported by the sources. However, the concept of "Cushitic peoples" as a distinctive civilizational grouping is explicitly presented in some the sources, and the concept isn't simply being invented, as the pro-deletion proponents are contending. There may well be dubious aspects to the article, but at this moment, it does not appear to me that deletion for lack of notability is warranted.O.M. Nash (talk) 11:20, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

— Preceding unsigned comment added by O.M. Nash (talkcontribs) 12:33, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: O.M. Nash asked me, above, to comment on these. My apologies if I'm having a dominating influence on this conversation. In general, I would say that these articles (interesting in themselves!) suffer from three major problems in relation to the purpose for which they're being adduced:
  1. I would say that it is very clear in the Johnson & Ta'a articles that the term "Cushitic peoples" is a trivial mention in the sense of
    WP:GNG
    . In both articles, the term appears only one time (tho Ta'a also cites work by James McCann that uses the singular term "Cushitic people" with a further specifier). I think this is actually true of the Hazel article as well, where the collocation "Cushitic peoples" without further ethnic modification appears only three times, two of which are in the phrase 'the four Cushitic peoples discussed in this article'.
  2. Now, note that in every case in the Hazel article the term "Cushitic peoples" is preceded by a quantifier: 'Some of the Cushitic peoples of East Africa, whether agricultural or pastoral, shared a common cultural emphasis on the importance of isolating parental and filial generations.' (Otherwise, variations of 'the four Cushitic peoples discussed in this article'.) "Cushitic" is being used as a modifier for "peoples", but we don't have "the Cushitic peoples" as a denomination of a group. (Cp "Jamaicans are an Anglophone people" vs "the Anglophone peoples".) The same is clearly true for the sole mention in the Johnson article. I think it's the most reasonable reading of Ta'a's only use, but not the only possible one.
  3. Finally, it's true these articles are either not about language or are about more than language, but I think language is still the identifier. In each case we have the kind of linguistic shorthand mentioned above, meaning 'groups who speak/spoke Cushitic languages'. Again, Ta'a's sole use could be read otherwise, perhaps denoting a collective cultural whole. But if these are meant to talk about a "distinctive cultural grouping", they do not do so in a way that is distinguishable from talking about some subset of speakers of a family of languages. (Try to think about what statements about "Cushitic peoples" you could draw from any of these articles to incorporate into this Wikipedia article. There's not much.)
That is my (requested) take on the situation. I think that all of these are important, but that the first (all the mentions are trivial) really gets at the heart of the notability issue. Pathawi (talk) 21:50, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Thank you Pathawi. There are a number of anthropological articles, similar to the ones cited, that discuss "Cushitic people." Is it possible, anthropology being the field that it is, that this is a case of "both/and" i.e. Cushitic refers to both a language group and a cultural group? Further, would not the primary emphasis of non-linguists be on the non-linguistic aspects of the term "Cushitic?" -O.M. Nash (talk) 01:43, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Anthropology is my field. Over the past few decades, Anglophone anthropology has been dominated by a post-modern spirit that is quite antagonistic to the reification of cultural groupings. (You find exceptions, notably within the Ontological Turn, but this is the general tendency.) There's been quite a healthy literature since the '70s that digs into how groups construct their own identities: For a contemporary anthropologist, you'd expect that it would be unacceptable to accept an idea like "Oromo" qua ethnicity as given in advance, & instead to understand it as something in constant, continuing production. So I would expect anthropologists to be less likely than scholars in other disciplines to accept the idea of "the Cushitic peoples" as a cultural group. In these three articles, I think you see an attributive use of the term 'Cushitic' as an adjective. I would not expect to see it incorporated into a denominative use by anthropologists. In any case, & more importantly for Wikipedia, what's really needed is non-trivial sourcing & explicit address. Pathawi (talk) 04:47, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Ok. So it seems that what's at issue here is a paradigmatic question of whether or not "Cushitic" can be considered to be an ethnolinguistic macro-group, in the same way that "Bantu" or "Mandé" or dozens of other language groups appear to be. That's a legitimate and important question. Can we agree that there can be a legitimate difference of opinion on the answer, based on the sources themselves, and that the existence of even the possibility of rational disagreement is in itself an indication that the topic is non-trivial, and therefore further discussion of the question should not be peremptorily foreclosed by deletion? Speaking for myself, I've learned more than I had ever planned to about the history of Cushitic (speaking?) peoples. It seems a shame to eliminate the possibility of further learning on the part of others by eliminating the article, as opposed to flagging whatever appears to be objectionable and working it out in the talk page. O.M. Nash (talk) 05:49, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply: I really strongly recommend reading
    original research. Our job as editors isn't to determine whether or not '"Cushitic" can be considered to be an ethnolinguistic macro-group', but whether or not there is significant coverage in reliable sources of the proposition that Cushitic peoples are a historically linguistically united macroethnicity. Wikipedia has policies & guidelines so that we're not trying to hash out definitions on the fly in these specific conversations. A passing mention is trivial. The fact that multiple interpretations are possible is an indication that the term was not important enough to the writers to make sure that it was clearly defined.

    I'm going to check out of this specific conversation now: It's nothing personal, but my feeling is that we've probably both made our cases adequately & at this point I'm beginning to repeat myself. Your job isn't to convince me or vice versa: We've got to make our cases & then allow others to make theirs. Pathawi (talk) 07:51, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment on the three sources: None of them provides
    WP:SIGCOV for the article's topic. In the latter two, we only have a passing mention. The first source (Hazel 2000) does indeed discuss common cultural aspects of four ethnic groups in depth, but as the author himself notes, these make up only a subset of the Cushitic-speaking peoples. So this is a markedly different scope from the "Cushitic peoples" that also include Beja and Dahalo people. –Austronesier (talk) 09:35, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply
    ]
Add A bit off-topic, as this is a general remark. I should emphasize—as an addition to Pathawi's preceding comments—that the scholarly viewpoint is not the only viewpoint that creates notability. There are construed macro-identities that initially stem from scholarly concepts, but develop a life of their own. This is a common trend in 19th and 20th century ideologies. Sometimes, the scholarly concept behind the construed macro-identity is abandoned, but that doesn't bother ideologists (
Romance peoples (because the latter only exist as a thing in the POV of proponents of Pan-Latinisim). Celts (modern) is different way to handle it: the article from the beginning explains that this is a ideologically construed macro-identity (but occasionally falls into the internalized POV in some sections). –Austronesier (talk) 09:51, 21 May 2021 (UTC) [reply

  • Comment: Okay, that makes sense. Thanks to you and Pathawi both for taking time to explain your reasoning. Your comments were very helpful and informative. I'm sensitive to African/African diaspora related material being challenged or removed merely because otherwise well-informed individuals are not acquainted with the history of the subject. I wanted to be sure that wasn't happening in this instance, it seems clear that it's not. I look forward to learning more on whatever successor page comes out of this. Thanks again. O.M.

As an admin mentioned in response on the talk page,

notability doesn't automatically extend to the band, and as such, an article about Osborne with a smaller section about the band is probably a much better option. The issue isn't Osborne's lack of notability, it's the lack of notability for the band itself. Bsoyka🗣️ 01:21, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete - I agree with the nominator. There could possibly be a short article on Willow Osborne, who got some media notice back when she was a tween prodigy. But this article is about the group and there is almost nothing to say about them beyond the fact that they got a few gigs so far. Also they have existed for less than a year. That's why the article needs to fill space with one member's life story and a few non-notable snippets about the other member's academic record. The talk page discussion referenced by the nominator is especially fascinating, as we watch the article creator trying to tackle these concerns and coming up empty. Always Evergreen is simply ineligible for an article here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:46, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem notable GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 07:05, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I tagged this article for sources and notability, on the basis that this article contains only unreliable external links, but then I decided to bring it to Afd. Portuguese metal band. Even though they have released multiple albums, I don't really see their notability. No evidence of notable members. The only aspect of notability might be the labels, but then again, most of them are red links - with the exception of Demolition Records. I have never heard of that label before, but based on the sources, it is notable. While "BMG-Dinamite" is a red link, it might be notable since BMG is a major record label. Though I don't know if "BMG-Dinamite" has any association with the actual BMG. Sacred Sin doesn't have an article on ptwiki either. Therefore, I am doubtful about their notability, but of course, as always, I am happy to be proven wrong. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 07:03, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - (Off topic trivia: "Sacred Sin" is also the title of a porn flick with music by Eddie Van Halen.) Despite a long career and lots of albums, the band Sacred Sin seems to have escaped notice by the reliable music media. They have basic entries at directory sites like Metal Archives, and I found one softball interview at a Russian fansite here: [38]. Otherwise they only have basic mentions in announcements for compilation albums on which they appeared, or occasional concerts where they opened for someone more notable.

I am unable to find any reputable journal ranking trackers that would indicate any significance for the Peace & Change journal.

Not knowing the technical aspects of the deletion criteria, I am unaware how a possible "contrarian view" may be received, that: (A1) it may not be appropriate to judge Prof. Kapoor exclusively on his career's 'esteem ranking' in a hierarchy of elite academia. (A2) It is significant that his career is held in high esteem and admired and affirmed by his fellows in the trenches, as it were. Also, evidently, by the elite in the field (see below). (A3) I am suspicious of a merit/elite standard as determined exclusively by peer popularity, e.g., some people who are mediocre at their game in chief may be quite good in politicking a following, while others are the opposite. (A4) Very important: Stanford University's King Inst. obviously thinks Prof. Kapoor worthy at his game in chief. Is Wikipedia taking the position that here the Stanford folks don't know who's who or what's what? (B1) His book today is a sought-after item on Amazon. (B2) His book covers a subject well-chosen and, in my humble opinion, likely to grow in importance as the passing of time increases the quality of vantage point and perspective from which to judge past events. To it Prof. Kapoor brings insight and special skills. (C1) I do not know Prof. Kapoor personally, nor do I have special interests in his situation. (C2) I do have a strong interest in the article's content, which I think very significant. I conjecture that the readership of Wikipedia would be enriched by it.

I'll be neutral on this. It didn't seem a PROD or CSD candidate to me based on the existence of oodles of other articles of comparable scope and sourcing, but beyond that, this is one arcane area of notability that I'm not going to stick my nose into. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:58, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The some London bus routes that are notable have been existence for almost a century and still cover most of the their original routes (nearly all have had route changes at some point). Most are prominent routes traversing through central London, are often high frequency and can often be cited in a wider ranger of sources other than local newspapers, passing comments from local politicians and residents' groups. Ajf773 (talk) 08:07, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • This route runs every 20 minutes, which is fairly high-frequency in comparison to most services in the UK. I think it is dishonest to call the question from Caroline Russell to the Mayor of London "passing" given it is entirely about the bus route. And as I already said, there is no requirement in the general notability guideline for coverage to be national.

  • Personally I have no problem with keeping bus route articles provided they're sourced, as this one is. And I'm not really sure how the frequency of a service is relevant. A bus is a lifeline to non-drivers regardless of its frequency.

There is no evidence The Shining is a legitimate franchise. A book having a few adaptations does not make it a franchise. This is especially true for this, as this article counts a set of two films and a miniseries, which have a completely different look and method of adapting the book, as within the same franchise. Hell, Doctor Sleep isn't even an adaptation of The Shining, it's an adaptation of a different Stephen King book. This article is

WP:CONTENTFORK of other articles. The "Development" section, for example, just copies every part of those articles' respective development and production sections word-for-word, citation-by-citation. If you want info about the adaptations summarized in one place, you have The Shining (novel)#Adaptations to do that just fine. 👨x🐱 (talk) 15:47, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

I understand. The only issue I have with this argument is your mentioning of the fact that “Doctor Sleep isn't even an adaptation of The Shining, it's an adaptation of a different Stephen King book”, which is true, but is known that it is the official sequel to The Shining book and the 2019 film is the official sequel to Kubrick’s 1980 film. However, like I said at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/It (film series), if they are deemed to be necessary for deletion I’ll kindly ask for them to be draftified, though I am not in favour of the nominations and likely in the minority in this situation, I completely understand and respect the decision and will respect the outcome of the final consensus.

Agreed. A franchise typically includes a collection of related media content, which in this case can be categorised into. KaitoNkmra23 talk 09:08, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
How on Earth are the miniseries and two films related aside from the fact that they were based on a book? A franchise, to me, would be media that had the same character designs and looks in all of its media. The Shining miniseries and the two films obviously have very different looks, with extremely different stories. "A collection of related media content" is not the definition of the term as it is

  • Keep and repurpose and retitle to Adaptions of The Shining Novel as a notable split from the main book article which only has a short adaptions section.

  • Weak keep. So there’s extensive RPDR coverage, which no one is disputing. There’s some coverage beyond that, though. The subject has some music released (the single “Boo” was covered by World of Wonder here; the single “Gein” was covered by iHorror here) and has appeared on the podcast Whatcha Packin’? with Michelle Visage here. So I’m leaning towards a (very) weak keep, but this isn’t a hill I’d die on. —Kbabej (talk) 02:56, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Kbabej, I would say that the World of Wonder source is a borderline primary source, as it's the company producing Drag Race and also the one that manages the contestants for some time after their run on the show. The iHorror link points to a "page not found" Underpaid Intern (talk) 05:25, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to add that I don't think we can consider Whatcha Packin'? independent from Drag Race, since it's basically an interview for Drag Race Contestants following their elimination, so it's inextrincable from their appearance on the show. Not A Superhero (talk) 17:39, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
To my knowledge, Watcha Packin'? isn't produced by World of Wonder, so I would consider it an independent source. Especially because they also talk about other topics outside of appearances on RPDR. --Kbabej (talk) 19:54, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is an interesting point. Checking on IMDB, I think it is produced by World of Wonder: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7107284/companycredits?ref_=tt_dt_co (Is IMDB a reliable source?). Also, Whatcha Packin airs in the official Youtube channel of Drag Race, how much weight should we give to that? Not A Superhero (talk) 22:54, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Good to know! I didn’t realize that. —Kbabej (talk) 23:47, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Kabej. I agree, the sourcing isn't overwhelming here, but outside Drag Race there are sources confirming claims about the subject's early career and performances, personal life, post-show single releases and other projects, etc. Combined with a more detail summary of their participation on Drag Race, I think eligibility criteria are met and this entry should be expanded, not deleted. Disagree with assessment by nominator, who is basing their argument on the article's current text and not all available sourcing. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:46, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

routine coverage. Most hilariously, the article brags that they have sold less than 2000 CDs. The band broke up 13 years ago, so no chance that this will change. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 21:25, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep - The article needs to be cleaned up severely, and some of the "Notable Press" items could be converted to footnotes. But I agree with Atlantic306 above, in that independent album reviews help demonstrate sufficient media coverage, and the band got a few media profiles while on tour. Enough for a basic stub article, but the present article's
    fancruft (or maybe selfcruft) can be whacked by a good 80%. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:36, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

The result was delete. Consensus is delete based upon strength of arguments. The arguments are "meets GNG" and "Doesn't meet GNG". The "Doesn't meet GNG" side presents an analysis of the sources, while the "meets GNG" does not describe how the sources are in-depth, reliable, and independent. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 15:49, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NALBUM Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:44, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

I cleaned the article up. I removed references that did not even discuss the album (there were three of those) and merged the AllMusic bio into a single ref. It is just a passing mention and the author misrepresented it as a review, when the author indicated the style was applicable to the band. The bio only gives passing mention to the album, and the cited fact is that the engineer of this work was a friend, although the statement was that it was produced in his basement, which is not supported. So after I cleaned up the references, there are four: AllMusic (passing mention), first-avenue.com (appears to be associated with the band) the review on blacksquirrelradio.com, and the band's label. @
CommanderWaterford: PRODded it, but Breckishere removed the PROD (which, as the author should not have been permitted). Breckishere then moved it to draft space. I tagged the draft. Breckishere tried to clean it up and then moved it back to article space. I looked at it and saw it was not notable and turned it into a redirect and Breckishere reverted, and now here we are.
