I hope to get the participants here to take another look to see if the subject meets
WP:BASIC after the rewrite. I have added at least three non-trivial news references.

I initially

WP:PRODed
this with the following rationale: "Non-notable, short lived student publication. None of the current references appear to be valid significant coverage in reliable sources, and searches turned up no coverage elsewhere. Note that there appears to be a current magazine also named "Urbane", but it is unrelated to this defunct student publication." However, it seems that it had already been deleted via PROD in the past and recreated, thus making ineligible for that method of deletion again, so I am bringing it to AFD.

  • Delete. Magazines aren't inherently notable, or automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles — the notability test hinges on demonstrating some significance, not just on verifying that the topic exists. But of the just four footnotes here, I get one directory entry that isn't support for notability at all, and three dead links of which two came from the student media of the same university this magazine also served (thus not fully independent of the topic for the purposes of being able to add GNG points) and one Waybacks as "page not found" even the first time Wayback ever scraped it at all. This is not the kind of sourcing it takes. (Also there was a probable conflict of interest here, as there's a significant correspondence between the username of the editor who created the article and the name of the magazine's publisher in the directory entry that constitutes footnote #1.) Bearcat (talk) 14:11, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The only secondary coverage I have been able to find is this mention in 2011 in the Globe & Mail (in an article written by the former fashion editor of Urbane Magazine) and a mention of the Urbane Magazine launch party in January 2010 in an Ontario newspaper article about a band called The Folk.

Members of national or sub national legislatures are notable but Phillips is member of a city council which fails Wikipedia:Notability (politics)#Politician. ​​​​​​​𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️Let's Talk ! 16:10, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Phillips represents more people then some mayors or state representatives. We don't usually have dicussions for deleting Major city councilmembers pages. If we delete phillips' page then we will have to delete hundreds of othersUser:Phillypaboy123Let's Talk ! 10:18, 6 December 2022 (EST)

  • Keep: Deficient rationale for deletion. Not all city council members are notable–this is self-evident. However, a city council member of a major U.S. city will almost certainly warrant an article. According, the actual standards we have for notability are fulfilled by the current stub. Additionally, sources that further evident his notability are easily accessible: The Philadelphia Inquirer 27 Oct, Philadelphia Tribune 8 Nov, and BillyPenn 25 Oct. All of these sources should be sufficient to ensure challenges to notability are addressed. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:48, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Per
    WP:POLOUTCOMES, I don't think Philipps satisfies the criteria of being from an "internationally famous metropolitan area" (for me, in a US context, this would be New York, LA, Chicago). He may or may not satisfy the GNG, but I don't believe presumed notability can apply here. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 03:06, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply
    ]
As an after-thought, I think the size of the city is important, but not determinative. Cities of considerably smaller size can be far more "internationally famous" than larger cities; eg by way of comparison, Miami or Nashville are clearly internationally well known, but notably smaller than Charlotte (NC) or Jacksonville (FL), which are far from being internationally well known.

If we delete this page, the other pages of city council members from urban cities all over america will have to be deleted to fit what you're saying.User:Phillypaboy123Let's Talk ! 10:03, 7 December 2022 (EST)
I would encourage reading
WP:ALLORNOTHING. If a subject/person etc cannot demonstrate notability based of this encyclopaedia's various criteria, then it cannot have an article. That only has relevance for that particular subject, in and of itself it has no impact on any other subject. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 20:41, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

You get my point, this opens up the case of deleting many other urban city council member's pages. User:Phillypaboy123Let's Talk ! 19:28, 7 December 2022 (EST)
Not sure I get your point; I disagree with the points you've made that deleting this article would mean deleting a class of articles. FWIW, in my comment, I'm using subject as in the subject of an article, not subject as in a topic area. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 09:14, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The reasoning given to delete this article, gives leeway for many other articles to be deleted. Thanks, --Phillypaboy123 (talk) 08:30, 8 December 2022 (EST)
  • Delete I'm also going to say TOO SOON - it looks like this is a young, newly elected local politician with very little press other than short blurbs about him being elected. The 'BillyPenn' article is about him but the source is only local (local politicians need wide-ish source coverage to meet NPOL). Much more would be needed for this to meet GNG.

Find me any authoritative scientific work by a Western or at least a Soviet author to confirm the existence of this alleged state. Half of the sources in the article are a forum where anyone can upload the article. The remaining half are scientific works that touch on the history of the Kirghiz, as tribes not united by a confederation. There is no such term as "North Kyrgyz Confederarion", the author of the article invented it himself. He was repeatedly blocked on the Russian Wikipedia for vandalism and harassment. This term is one big fiction. Kazman322 (talk) 19:27, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm more than usually accepting of non-English sourcing, but on a subject like this it strikes me as somewhat telling that no English sourcing appears available that unambiguosly supports the existence of this entity.

  • [19] German-Polish source, where the state of the northern Kyrgyz is mentioned. This is not the Kara-Kyrgyz Khanate of 1842, since the book was written in the 1850s (Before the collapse of the Khanate). Foggy kub (talk) 09:44, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Do not be misled, by the Kyrgyz we mean the Kazakhs, because until 1936 the Kazakhs and the Kyrgyz were called the same. Moreover, the source mentions that the Kirghiz live from the Volga to the Irtysh / Altai, it is obvious that the Kazakhs are meant. Kazman322 (talk) 09:54, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • The source mentions "Kara-Kyrgyz" or "Buruts", it is only said about the Kazakhs that they were called "Kaisak-Kyrgyz". Foggy kub (talk) 10:01, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      This "German-Polish" source is an introduction to an 1842 poem by Gustaw Zieliński dating from around the 1880s (it quotes an 1876 text). This is not a high quality, reliable source that can be used to support the existence of the entity we're discussing. Ideally, we need contemporary sources from academic specicialists; an almost 150 year old introduction to a literary text, full of florid language and hyperbole, does not support the argument. FWIW, a vague wave towards, I'm assuming the following sentence, does not reveal anything relevant to this discussion. "Sie theilen sich in die eigentlichen Kirgisen, die im Gebirge Thian-schan wohnen und Kara (schwarze) Kirgisen oder auch Berg-Kirgisen oder Buruten genannt werden."

    original research; there's simply no reliable sourcing showing the existence of a *state* entity called the "North Krygyz Confederation" as presented in the article. It's *possible* to accept from some of the sourcing presented here that there were groupings in this region; but there's no clear consensus on the geographic locations (they overlap: some in northern parts, some southern) and there's simply no evidence that these functioned in the form of a state.

CNBC does not explain why Citigroup invested in BlueVine - beyond the title, it provides a platform for people connected to the companies to promote a capital transaction, without a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, so there is insufficient

Did you try reading the article? “We found BlueVine doing factoring in a much more modern fashion,” said Purushotham, who works out of the Citi Ventures Palo Alto office. “They’re able to approve invoices to be factored very quickly, and because they’re online and plugged into account systems that small- and medium-sized business use, they’re able to pull data from a variety of sources.” Sean Brunnock (talk) 17:20, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That is a quote from someone connected to the company, i.e. Citi Ventures, which engaged in the capital transaction, and Purushotham is also quoted in the April 27, 2016 BlueVine press release - Purushotham does not offer significant or independent analysis - this is promotion of the capital transaction. Beccaynr (talk) 17:27, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Purushotham didn't write the article. He was simply quoted. Ari Levy of CNBC was the author. Therefore, independent. Why are you being so misleading? Sean Brunnock (talk) 17:46, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My analysis is based on a guideline designed to help protect the encyclopedia, per
WP:PROMO. When an otherwise reliable source substantially relies on promotional material produced by a company (including quotes from people connected to the company), it is not independent. The lack of independence is not the only issue with this source - it is also trivial coverage of Bluevine as a topic because it covers an announcement of a routine business transaction, and instead of discussing Bluevine in-depth, it discusses JPMorgan, WellsFargo, Goldman Sachs, American Express Ventures, and Capitol One Labs, how these transactions work generally, what happened with Citigroup and Prosper Marketplace, and a quote from Prosper President Ron Suber, before concluding with content and a quote from Bluevine CEO Lifshitz speculating on/promoting the advantages of the capital transaction with Citi Ventures.

Inappropriate WP:Autobiography by User:Deanna wulff. Biographical notability not established; sources are about the proposal for a Range of Light National Monument rather than significant coverage about her specifically. The KQED source is a decent human interest article but the focus is still the proposal and Unite the Parks. Reywas92Talk 18:42, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unite the Parks didn't exist when the NPR story was written, so it's not possible for the article to be about the organization, which was founded in 2017. 2601:645:4300:4E20:209E:F844:A698:1D36 (talk) 05:20, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This Biography is notable because of the subject's accomplishments, which are documented in the cited references. Regarding notability, the stature of the references carry significant weight in this regard because they themselves are records of note. For example, Wulff is interviewed by National Geographic (Reference 7, titled "Inside the Political Battle ..."), and in the interview they include significant human-interest content, including childhood photos of Wulff. Likewise, in the National Public Radio KQED interview (Reference 1, titled "One Woman's Quest to Unite the Parks"), half of the piece (by word count) is about Wulff and her life experiences and perspective. Finally, the most obvious argument for Wulff's notability is the existence of the Range of Light National Monument campaign at all. While many visitors are moved and inspired by our National Wildlands, it is only an extremely small percentage of those visitors who respond by dedicating a decade of their lives to a grass-roots-effort that they then manage to carry all the way to the U.S. Halls of Congress, as is documented by the cited references. For this reason alone, Wulff is note worthy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoeWerne (talkcontribs) 06:54, 14 December 2022 (UTC) JoeWerne (talk · contribs) has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and this XFD page.

It is becoming clear from the comments - which mostly don't refer to the content of the page - that this an effort to take down this person rather an actual discussion of the news articles and the difficulty of the work performed, which is the basis of those articles. Further, several authors have adjusted the page AND the original comment about the NPR story is inaccurate. Unite the Parks didn't exist until 4 years after the article was written, so it cannot be about that.

The result was keep. The arguments to keep are stronger on the substance and also numerically predominant. They rest on the fairly straightforward assertion that this individual meets GNG via coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources independent of their subject. Evidence has been provided for this argument, which has largely not been directly challenged: those arguing to delete instead focus on the content of this coverage, arguing variously that it should not lead to notability per

WP:BLPCRIME, which discusses the BLP policy as it applies to people accused of crimes), or that nothing this individual has done is actually noteworthy. These arguments are acceptable in principle but weak when applied here. Coverage has been provided here of at least two episodes of this person's life, rendering the BLP1E argument weak. Also, some of this coverage predates any accusations of criminal activity; WP:CRIME applies to people only known for their connection to a crime or alleged crime. Finally, we're not in the business of second-guessing why entirely reliable sources decided to cover a topic; we should not be using Russian propaganda as a source, obviously, but we can't ignore coverage that happens to be convenient to said propaganda.

@Star Mississippi: I can't remember any specific examples but I swear there is some precedent for blanking an article over BLP or similar concerns while it's discussed at AFD, like the way we sometimes undelete-and-blank articles while they're at DRV. In this case, given that BLP concerns have been raised, even though I don't personally share those concerns, I think blanking the article (via protecting it as a redirect) while it goes to AFD is a perfectly reasonable precaution to take.

Uhhh... yeah millions of people like that out there. She fought in one of the make shift militias in Ukraine in 2014 during the first Russian invasion. Tens of thousands of Ukrainians did. She committed an armed robbery. Like, not even murder or something but armed robbery. A crime millions of people have committed. And... that's it. That's the "notability" of this person. Can anyone really say with a straight face that this is a notable article that an encyclopedia should have? If you really think that I don't know how you expect to be taken seriously. Oh and let's add that she was a teenager during most of this stuff.
So. How did she get coverage in the media? Well, at one point Elle magazine ran an article on "women fighting in Ukraine" and stupidly they included her. Someone noted she was a neo nazi and some controversy ensued. This was immediately picked up by Russian propaganda who eats this kind of stuff up and amplified. As a result she got a few other mentions here and there. Aside from that, she gets mentions in some regional sources which basically report on local crimes and arguably she may be a local regional "social media celebrity" (or "notoriety") in Vinnitsia or whatever. There's still absolutely nothing here to make her notable. There's like two sentences in one (reliable) book, out of 100+ pages. There's a photocaption in Bellingcat. There's some coverage of the "Elle controversy" in a couple French outlets. Honestly, in almost any other article this would be WP:UNDUE so it sure as hey isn't notable.

She does not pass the criteria in
WP:BLPCRIME
- an article about a non public figure with substantial content dedicated their alleged involvment in a crime. A violation of " the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment" - making an article about a non-public figure (who is unlikely to have continued coverage of them) which may last as the top result on google for them for the rest of their life about neo-nazi and alleged criminal things they did when they were 18 is a violation of that (Yes, she does not look like a great person, but the purpose of wikipedia is not to act as a registry of people who did bad things). A violation of "it is not wikipedia's job to be sensationalist" - I can't see much other encyclopedic purpose to this article.

My mistake, I confused the French outlet and the Ukrainian one.

I am clearly focussing on content, and staying on topic. You said "On the contrary, the sentence you quote confirms she is notable: 'scandalous woman ... made herself known'." The sentence you partially quoted is, in full, with emphasis added, "This scandalous woman from Vinnytsia has already been forgotten, but she made herself known by posting several videos on the Internet."

I find that a good approach.OsFish (talk) 10:13, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, as you are well aware, I've argued that she's notable mainly because of the trial and the public compaign for her release, plus the Elle's affair, and I've never argued that she's notable because of her social media activities, which add something to her public profile and fame, and are therefore DUE for inclusion in the article, but in themselves are not sufficient to establish the subject's notability. Secondly, since you say that you are not hacking phrases out of sources to make them say things they do not say, could you please tell me where did you get your reference to YouTube? I bet thet you were referring to other discussions I've recently had on YouTube videos, am I wrong? And that would also explain the indefinite pronouns you used, everybody. Anyway, since I've never said that everybody who uploads a video to YouTube is notable enough for a Wikipedia, you should either answer my questions and convince me that you were not casting aspersions by deliberately misrepresenting my views, or simply apologise and move on. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 11:50, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply. Firstly, I am only too happy to explain the reference to YouTube. It's in the source that you quoted here when you stated that the source "confirms she is notable" because she "made herself known", the full quote being "made herself known by posting several videos on the Internet" (emphasis addded). As the source states, "Why did we mention her now? Because we came across a video from a YouTube channel named after her. And in this video we recognize her herself." I fully admit my original assertion about your argument was based on the assumption you had read the source you were quoting, and I'm happy to apologise for assuming due diligence on your part. Secondly, I really appreciate that you now disagree directly with the assertion by Levivich that her current activities constitute any kind of notability. As the source says, and I invite you to read it, she "has already been forgotten". This matters in terms of whether she is a low profile person and thus how we approach BLP1E. It's good we're making progress.OsFish (talk) 14:12, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, fine, so you've inferred that I have a theory that everybody who uploads a video to YouTube is notable enough for a Wikipedia from the fact that I quoted a source that - you are right there - mentions a YouTube video by Zaverukha. But then, since you don't like people hacking phrases out of sources to make them say things they do not say, let me quote the entire sentence relating to the YouTube video, so that maybe you'll understand where the view that she's notable comes from; and maybe you'll also by able to explain how you could credit me with that nonsense about the YouTube video as the source of her notability:

At the beginning of the war, in 2014, and then in 2015, Vinnytsia publications wrote endlessly about Vita Zaverukha. First as a "bander girl", then as a "revenge girl", then as a "terrorist girl". She fought, was arrested for a crime, sat in the Kyiv pre-trial detention center, was released thanks to a benefactor who paid more than one and a half million bail for her... Activists met her from the pre-trial detention center with flowers. Let's remind you, she got married. She settled in Kyiv, so now she is an ex-Vinnytsian. Why did we mention her now? Because they came across a video from a YouTube channel named after her.

Thank you for finally reading the source. That's a great quote you've posted. It shows that she is notable for her connection to a single event and that she then became a low profile person. It also shows that this local news media source, which you and others have heavily used, is not a reliable source in the wikipedia sense of the word: It omits in plain sight the key information that she was acquitted, not merely released on bail. Even this source, which spends time denigrating her, doesn't see the Elle thing as even worth mentioning as part of who she is. Surely it would be better to have an article on the event itself - the killing of the two Berkut officers - where the arrest and treatment of the group Zaverukha was part of can of course be mentioned as DUE, including any campaigns focused on Zaverukha. That's what various policies point to given the state of sourcing. To be clear, I don't think she's (been) a nice person at all. But let's be here to build an encyclopedia and follow policy.OsFish (talk) 15:45, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh dear. In this now deleted comment, you point out that the claim in the article that she had been acquitted was badly sourced. It’s a significant mistake because there is a BIG difference between being acquitted and being released without trial. Being acquitted means that prosecutors felt they had enough evidence to proceed with a formal trial. Being released implies not even that threshold was passed. That’s a serious BLP breach. So I really wouldn’t boast about it. Also, when you insist you knew perfectly well the full contents of the source all along, it means that when you made your false accusations at me regarding the relevance of YouTube videos, implying I had been wiki stalking you and telling me to focus on content, you knew my comments were instead based directly on the source we were discussing and that the accusations you made were false.

  • Keep. The subject is clearly notable as per Levivich's and Mhorg's source analyses, to which nothing can be added. My own remark on notability are here [77]. From that remark, one point is maybe worth mentioning: when Zaverukha was in custody a public campaign for her liberation developed from nationalist right-wing circles, which focused on Zaverukha alone ([78] There are five participants in the case of the shooting of the "Eagles", but social networks are raging only about Vinnytsia's Vitynenko), included a member of parliament handcuffing himself to Zaverukha during a hearing [79], clashes between police and demonstrators near the courtroom [80], protesters blocking the building of the Court of Appeal from the outside [81], and an internet campaign "Je suis Vita Zaveruha" [82]. It's simply obvious that she's notable. Apart from this, what I'd like to stress is that the article was in dare conditions but now is acceptable - perhaps not perfect, some work still needs to be done, but it's not too bad, I think. You can read it here [83]. Given the nature of the subject, which is highly controversial, the article is likely to be the target of disruption and surreptitious attempts at deletion in the near future, so I would be grateful if you could add it to your watchlist.

It's not that she isn't notable because Russian propagandists focus on her, it's that she's notable because Russian propagandists is the only place where the coverage of her originates. Please tell me - what exactly has she done that is "notable"? Volunteer Marek 06:01, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as weakly sourced
    WP:BUTITEXISTS
    .
The fundamental problem is what she's supposed to be notable for. Look at the lead:

Vita Zaverukha...is an Ukrainian nationalist militant and ex-serviceman of the volunteer battalion Aidar. Following Elle France's publication in 2014 of an article on pro-government female fighters in the war in Donbas, she became known for publishing neo-Nazi content on social media.[1][2] In 2015, she was arrested on charges of participating in a robbery in Kyiv that resulted in the death of two policemen of the Berkut special force.[3][4] A public campaign for her liberation developed from nationalist right-wing circles.[5] She was released on bail in 2017[6] and later acquitted.[7] She resumed her participation in the actions of the Ukrainian radical right[1] and, following the 2022 Russian invasion, she reportedly joined the territorial defense near Kyiv.[7]

The Elle reference is to a mention in an Elle article as one woman among many. A fuss arose was because Zaverukha was a Neo-Nazi and they shouldn't have included her. That doesn't make Zaverukha a notable person. That's material for the
WP:NBIO
, "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" (emphasis added). Those articles are not primarily about her. It's poor pickings when we are supposed to be careful with BLP. Essentially, she is supposed to be notable because a journalist who didn't write much about her didn't know she was a neo Nazi that one time. But being a neo-Nazi in itself isn't a notable achievement.
Then, consider the final sentence: "She resumed her participation in the actions of the Ukrainian radical right[1] and, following the 2022 Russian invasion, she reportedly joined the territorial defense near Kyiv.[7]" Neither of these is grounds for notability, especially not the last bit when there's an all-out war going on.
So what we are left with is this:

In 2015, she was arrested on charges of participating in a robbery in Kyiv that resulted in the death of two policemen of the Berkut special force.[3][4] A public campaign for her liberation developed from nationalist right-wing circles.[5] She was released on bail in 2017[6] and later acquitted.[7]

In other words, for her connections as one among many to a single event which is a crime. What does
WP:BLP1E
say?

Wikipedia is not news, or an indiscriminate collection of information. Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met:

  1. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.
  2. If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a
    low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect
    the person's name to the event article.
  3. If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented.
    Reagan assassination attempt
    , was significant, and his role was both substantial and well documented.

The significance of an event or the individual's role is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources. It is important for editors to understand two clear differentiations of the

low-profile individuals
.

And then there is
WP:CRIMINAL
, the guideline regarding notability of people involved in criminal acts. Such a guideline is of course needed because anyone arrested for a serious crime gets into the press. It says:

For perpetrators,

  1. The victim of the crime is a or
  2. The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. 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.[2]
    • 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.
Both those policies strongly suggest that Zaverukha should NOT be the subject of her own article, especially considering that she was NOT the only one arrested in this one event (three other members of the far right were also) and she was NOT found guilty. Much of the detailed coverage is actually local, including frequent sourcing to a local website that appears to solicit user content, vn.20minut.ua.
Regarding Russian propaganda: as others have already stated, we do need to be aware of the movement to make her into a much bigger figure in Ukraine than she actually is. There has been problematic behaviour on the page itself, with likely sock puppet activity and disruptive editing including from IPs. So I advise people look closely at what is actually there in sources, because it is a lot less than the cut and paste lists of RS supposedly establishing notability would lead you to believe.OsFish (talk) 06:06, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete: Having reviewed most of the stronger-looking sources listed, this seems very much to be a
    WP:BLP1E; the ambiguity arises because two events are involved, giving a stronger initial impression of general notability. However, looking at each case, the answer is a clear no to each of the following BLP questions: Do any reliable sources cover the individual themselves as a main or sole focus of coverage, or is the person mentioned only in connection with an event or organization? Was the person the main focus of relevant coverage? Is the person notable for any other events in their life? Because of this lack of notability beyond the incident, there are no biographical elements in the article: no reliable source has reported on her life before her brief notoriety relating to Elle, and the incidents after the 2017 trial are fragmented non-noteworthy incidents about which there are fairly vague allegations. It does not appear that she is a significant leader in the far right, just a footsoldier who had 15 minutes of fame. BobFromBrockley (talk) 10:21, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    Hello BobFromBrockley, actually there is at least one source reporting on her life before her brief notoriety relating to Elle: see this 2014 dedicated article (with interview and photos) on the local press of Vinnytsia [84]. During and after the trial we have various articles from Ukrainian national press entirely dedicated to her in connection with the trial and the public campaign for her liberation: I wouldn't say that she was mentioned only in connection with an event or organization there, since she was the main/exclusive focus of the event, be it the trial or the public campaign: [85][86][87][88][89] (very incomplete random selection). Following the trial and her liberation, her vicessitudes continued to be reported by the national press: attack on LGBT activists [90], attack on her and her partner [91][92], and occasionally also by international sources (attack on Women's Rights March, US Department [93]). Finally we also have a detailed article on her whole life by the local press [94] Gitz (talk) (contribs) 12:03, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks Gitz. I missed the vn.20minut piece. It's hard for me to assess the reliability of the local sources (or assess how event-focused rather than person-focused they are), but if it is clear that a complete biographical picture can be assembled from reliable sources then my concerns would be lightened. (I am not convinced that the more recent incidents are evidence of notability as too trivial, but worth mentioning if we conclude there is notability, although we need to attend to ]
    I can't speak to all the sources posted here but none of the ones I posted are local coverage; they're all national or international. 20 Minutes is French for example. It's in the Ukrainian language but it's a French outlet. Levivich (talk) 13:49, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Bob's right, I did confuse the Ukrainian 20minute.ua with the French 20 Minutes publication; they are not the same.

Levivich (talk) 16:47, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Just to note: she was 18 years old when she was interviewed by Elle so there isn't a lot of reason to expect coverage of her life before that, when she was a minor. She's been the subject of media coverage each year after that. She's lived literally her entire adult life being covered by national and international media. Also, in response to other votes (not Bob's), I want to point out she wasn't one of many women covered by Elle, she was one of like five, and she was the "cover girl" as it were, meaning the main focus of the coverage. Levivich (talk) 13:49, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It is interesting, though perhaps not very relevant to this discussion, that Ukrainian sources almost always ignore the incident with Elle. For them, she is not significant for that minor and frankly uninteresting event, which is only significant for Western audiences, if at all. For the Ukrainian press, she's significant because, firstly, she was the youngest female fighter in the Aidar bataillion; second, because she had a very visible and controversial social media profile; third, because she was the protagonist of an important trial, which addressed a sensitive issue in post-Maidan Ukraine - the relation between far-right groups and the state [95]; finally, she is significant because of the campaign for her release, which explains why very minor events, such as the beating by the C14 group group, in 2017 got national (not local) coverage in Ukraine.

    WP:BLP1E is often mis-cited by editors arguing that if a person is only notable for one event then they are not notable. That's arguing the shortcut instead of arguing the policy. BLP1E's 3rd requirement is If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. Considering the trial for murder of two police officers during a bank robbery is called by the press the "Zaverukha case" and received national media coverage for three years, it cannot be said that the event was not significant or her role was not substantial or well documented. BLP1E does not apply here and I hope the closer takes note. Levivich (talk) 13:19, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

    No, because the criminal case is just one aspect of her notability. She was notable before being arrested in 2015 and still notable after being acquitted in 2017, as evidenced by sources ranging from 2014 to 2022, including one academic source that says in its own voice that she "stands out" among other women fighters in Ukraine and is "notorious" in Russia. That's not a one event situation, it's multiple events over a period of years. Levivich (talk) 13:35, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It is a major point of dispute whether her notability goes beyond her association with a criminal event. You should be careful not to confuse
    WP:NOTABILITY (whether the article should exist.) For example, you refer to events in 2022 - that she joined in the defence against the invasion by the Russian Federation. That is not a notable activity otherwise we'd have over a million articles on each Ukrainian citizen actively defending their country.

    The word "notable" means, in this context, that an article subject meets the

    The event is the killing of two Berkut officers. She was acquitted of involvement in that event, and was not the only person arrested and charged. The thing is, that event is something you have compared on this very page to a "crime of the century". Someone who didn't do the crime of the century, but whose presence in substantive RS coverage comes from their connection to that crime, is obviously subordinate in notability to that crime itself. And since then, there hasn't been anything she has done that could possibly be described as notable as understood in Wikipedia policy (again, reminding you of the difference between DUE and NOTABLE).OsFish (talk) 05:44, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Here's the thing, your own source that you cited for her continued notability says explicitly that she has been "forgotten" since that case. "This scandalous woman from Vinnytsia has already been forgotten, but she made herself known by posting several videos on the Internet. Now, judging by her videos, the girl is fighting in the Teroboron near Kyiv, where she was previously married and has been living for the past few years."

    WP:LPI sats A low-profile individual is someone who has been covered in reliable sources without seeking such attention, often as part of their connection with a single event. Persons who actively seek out media attention are not low-profile, regardless of whether or not they are notable. The subject actively sought media attention before she was arrested: the Elle interview was 2014, the arrest was 2015. She also actively sought out media attention during her trial, and after, as documented by the articles about her. As a separate issue, because the victims of the crime were police officers, and I'd argue any murder of a police officer is a murder of a public figure. BLPCRIME doesn't apply here because neither the accused nor the victims were low profile, and nobody arguing the policy seems to be addressing that part of it. Levivich (talk) 13:35, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    With regard to who was murdered, the correct policy here is
    WP:BLPCRIME. It states that "Where there are no appropriate existing articles, the criminal ...should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies: The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure..., or the motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event." (emphasis added). She was acquitted. I don't enjoy defending her on this issue because she's a neo-nazi, but at the same time, being a neo-nazi who didn't commit a murder isn't notable separate from the event she was arrested for.OsFish (talk) 15:11, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    WP:CRIME: The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. 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. The 2022 article is an example of coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role. The "Zaverukha case" is, indeed, a well-documented historical event in Ukraine, and the alleged motivation for the crime (domestic terrorism), and the execution of the crime (death of two police officers) were unusual and considered noteworthy (by the plethora of national media that covered it), as was the trial itself, which included her slashing her wrists in court, an elected lawmaker handcuffing himself to her, and her being beaten in custody allegedly by the authorities, as well as the ultimate acquittal. A bank robbery by alleged terrorists in which two police officers were killed is a huge crime in almost any country, and in some countries would be called the "Crime of the Century". That stuff doesn't happen every day, not to mention everything that happened during the trial. But even putting all of that aside, she's not only notable for the trial, because the GNG coverage of her preceded the trial and continued afterwards. She was notable for being a soldier before, and after, she was notable for being a defendant in a major criminal case. Levivich (talk) 16:19, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

    If this was something like the crime of the century, would Levivich support a RENAME of the article to turn it into addressing the history crime itself?

    The aspect of
    WP:BLPCRIME that does apply here relates to the post-2017 coverage that focuses on minor crimes where there are vague allegations but no convictions, e.g. the attack on LGBT activists and a woman's march. They might seem noteworthy in an existing article, but BLPCRIME cautions us that A living person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until convicted by a court of law. Accusations, investigations and arrests do not amount to a conviction. For individuals who are not public figures... editors must seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed, or is accused of having committed, a crime, unless a conviction has been secured. If something can't be included for this reason, it seems like we couldn't hang notability on it. BobFromBrockley (talk) 16:28, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

    But the article is not alledging "minor crimes". It is reporting that 1) she was involved in an attack on transgender activists. Whether that attack qualifies as a crime or not, we don't know. The source [96] says that she was identified by the victims, but doesn't say if they pressed charges or if the attack was punishable under the Criminal Code as assault. "involved in an attack" seems a fair summary. 2) The article says that a human rights report by the US State Department stated that Vita Zaverukha and other activists of the Unknown Patriot group were among the suspects in an attack on participants of the 8 March. Once again, we are not claiming that she committed a crime, or that the US State Department claimed she committed a crime. The very fact that the US State Department writes that she is among the suspects in a political action is in itself noteworthy and deserves inclusion.

  • Keep. The sources listed by Levivich (and Mhorg) seem more than sufficient. It does not appear that these sources are just routine police-blotter reporting; this was an incident with a significant amount of national attention, and so there was sustained and in-depth coverage on the incident and on Zaverukha's role in it; point #3 in BLP1E would not be met here ("the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented"). I mean, more subjectively, I think that's evidenced by the fact that (and I'm trusting the translations from Levivich here) the case was given names like the 'Zaveruha case' in RFE/RL. Whether the article should be principally focussed on Zaverukha or the criminal case is a reasonable matter for editorial discretion, but given there’s other noteworthy biographical information about Zaverukha here, I do think it makes the most sense kept as a biography.

  • Delete. Yes, she is briefly mentioned in a number of news sources, but what she is notable for? She is not notable as a soldier. Yes, she is a former servicewomen of Aidar. That does not make her notable. She is not notable as a criminal (if she is a criminal; she did not kill anyone). She is not notable as a neo-Nazi (if she is a neo-Nazi or a person with "far-right" views, there are many of them). She is not a blogger or an internet personality. Yes, she posted something, but who did not? This all apparently started from Elle France mentioning her as an example of something, apparently an erroneous example, as follows from their apology/retraction. My very best wishes (talk) 05:53, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Source checking shows that she was covered mostly as a suspect of a crime, but she has been acquitted of all charges. I think she is just an ordinary (not a notable) person unfairly accused of the crime, which indeed does not warrant a separate page about her per WP:BLP concerns, as has been arguded by others. My very best wishes (talk) 17:36, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There's not an awfully highest bar for a biography to be notable. The fact that the against-notability arguments, above, are so numerous and intricate is itself a sign against their soundness. I have read a few of these arguments and I don't find them convincing. I don't think this article is a bunch of cookie-cutter indiscriminate info, and I think (per
    WP:CRIMINAL (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.) doesn't apply least because there is no such existing article AFAIK and indeed some proponents above have argued this info shouldn't be added to an existing article.

    Comment:
    WP:CRIMINAL
    then lays down when there should be an article. "only if one of the following applies...For perpetrators,
# The victim of the crime is a
renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities;[3]
or
# The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. 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.[4]
#* 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. (emphasis in original)
  • I've just discovered that even the claim in the article that Zaverukha was acquitted (ie prosecutors felt there was enough evidence against her to move to a formal trial) is false: the source used says she was released from the investigation, ie without trial.
    WP:BLP1E exist precisely because we need to avoid such BLP problems. An article on the event itself avoids these issues.OsFish (talk) 00:10, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

    Nothing in
    WP:CRIMINAL (as with all other sections of NBIO) are guidance which is most useful when applied to people whose notability clearly stems from one thing. Vita's (as argued by those supporting deletion above) does not derive from any singular thing, so no SNG is appropriate/relevant here, at least not as an exclusionary factor.

No reliable source coverage to establish notability. In fact, this is borderline BLPPROD material since none of the links in the References section are actual references. They're just external links to press releases or primary sources. I've checked all of the S&DCE links and they're just reader-submitted tidbits (i.e. the subject submitted a bit of text to said magazine).

Appears that the subject does not meet the Wikipedia:Notability guideline. Most of the article is unreferenced.

    WP:PROF#C6 definitely does not apply; that's for major universities, not secondary schools. Here we have no such sources in the article, and searching mostly finds local or occasional national news stories quoting him rather than in-depth coverage about him. A typical example: [97], which describes him as "former Bolton Wanderers professional footballer turned college principal" but does not go into any more depth than that before quoting him on some school issue or other. Searching for news of his football career found only a similar level of non-in-depth mentions. And in any case the article is written as an unsourced personal reflection and if kept would need to be stubbed far down to only material that can be verified from published sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:22, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

That first references as a bit of PR and an interview fails ]
I can't find the press release that this is based off of, but that phrasing is copy-pasted to other churnalism pieces as well. If Walla.co.il wrote that article (therefore owning the copyright) and didn't just copy-paste a press release you wouldn't find that wording on other websites, but with a press release they freely copy the wording because the company wants it spread around. Same with this one, copied here. These are not sources showing significant independent coverage, it's churnalism rewording press releases from the company itself. Neither one of those show notability for the article's subject. - Aoidh (talk) 13:31, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
These are the routine reactions that one can expect after a keep opinion at WP these days. It's not about the company, it's about {insert any parts of the company operations here}. And there must be a press release because all independent journalists at independent news portals are con artists, I just happen not to be able to find any press release which should have been all over the internet, just not this time. And this can go on and on under someone's opinion. 50 such reactions? 100 such reactions? There within minutes! No space for dissenting views, however weak the responses will be. I invite everyone to take a fresh look at the sources and at the policies, as I have done, and to express their opinion, whatever it might be! The nominator had their say in the nomination, now it's up to the community to decide! gidonb (talk) 13:51, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When you share links to churnalism as a reason to keep an article, it's not unreasonable for someone to point out the problem with those links. Comments about "WP these days" have nothing to do with this article's subject or why it should be kept. I also said nothing about "all independent journalists...are con artists" so that's a strawman argument; you're commenting against things no one has suggested. The problem isn't that all sources have issues, the problem is that these two sources in particular have issues, and while you're entitled to your opinion, your opinion is not immune from examination, nor is your opinion consistent with how Wikipedia treats churnalism sources. - Aoidh (talk) 14:10, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not following why you "predicting" that your comment would be responded to is relevant, especially since that doesn't address the problem with the sources, which despite the unsubstantiated claim, are far from "great" (whatever that means). They do not contribute to the notability of the subject, which has no significant coverage in independent reliable sources. That's all I'm interested in discussing. - Aoidh (talk) 14:24, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's all relevant for me. Other people will write other opinions after analyzing this AfD and draw different or similar conclusions!

I can see absolutely no possible use this page could ever have, as it's a pure content fork from

This is clearly a work of either UPE, or COI. The article was created in one go by RajneeshPi, I moved it to draft with edit summary "clearly not notable for mainspace, kindly work on it in draftspace". I left a note on their talkpage recommending AFC (their talkpage has a few AFC notices). Three days later, another editor EditorPi moved it back to mainspace without any changes to the article. —usernamekiran (talk) 05:38, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately that is not a case for notability which requires significant, in depth coverage. Do you have any connection with other editors working on this article that you should disclose? You seem to have found this very suddenly. Star Mississippi 03:14, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
would like to know firstly.. before putting this article to AFD , have you read the content or notability.. as how you found the article same way i got out.. we are here to support ..am not having any connection with others.. i felt good by reading links.. so i supported..

again please donot change the discussion flow .. i would like to know why as of sudden you suggested this article for deletion. am seeing an social commitment in the article supporting this channel and new ideas put forward by this particular blaze.. so we have to bring it to other peoples , then only other can understand.. by this it will be useful to public.. secondly ..am not writing for corp.. and my intention is pure to bring new ideas to front and support as an writer... see the notability ...

It was tagged for AfD because rather than waiting for AfC, you moved it to mainspace when, as I said to your colleague, there is no indication it meets the requirements for a company. Socially committed and new ideas have no bearing on what makes a company notable. @SreenivasKrishnan I am not changing the discussion flow. You do not understand why it wasn't in mainspace. You're allowed to move it -- but that creates a community discussion especially when there have been so many versions of this article. and my intention is pure to bring new ideas to front and support as an writer is definitely not something you should be doing as Wikipedia is not for promotion. Would either of you care to disclose how you found this article? Star Mississippi 03:55, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
again .. have u read the citations.. link . please read it ..
second , how can u notify some other persons as my colleague .. did he told you.. he is my colleague and did i mentioned is somebody my colleague.. donot overwrite.. from your view point what makes notability .. ;please explain .. i will reconsider my thoughts after hearing this.. Annthomasjoy (talk) 04:01, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:CORP is what defines notability. I read the citations, and I did my own search. I am unable to find anything that meets the criteria. It is not my POV, it is the community's.

how can it be an promotion .. if you are simply pointing out it as pomotion .. then all notable activities doing my an organisation or an person will fall to promotion right .. please donot mix the things.. would like to suggest you please read or undertsand the article values and understand the importance of the things.. if you are writing something .. then if suddenly an user comment it as promotion .. will it be right ...

"Bring new ideas to front" is promotion as defined by Wikipedia. This discussion will go for at least seven days and all editors are able to weigh in and establish consensus on whether there should be an article. I have read the article. Please stop insinuating that I haven't before nominating it. This article has been on my radar for almost a month.

I'm happy to explain. It was created in mainspace in November in a way it shouldn't have been (the creator missed a step) and showed on the AfC logs because it had extra templates while in mainspace.

yes this now turned to an interesting communication.

ELs on page appear to only be to databases (the last two are dead; the latter it appears the URL was taken by some dating site) that don't convey notability, and I couldn't find any coverage of Björklund that wasn't just mentioning his work as a part of iamamiwhoami.
