Unnecessary article with little substantial information. Nothing that can't be added to the Uzbekistan section of the Observance of Christmas by country article. ~ Mooonswimmer 23:58, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care either way. By the same logic, another article I created, namely Navruz in Uzbekistan should also be deleted. But the fact that an article is a stub isn't grounds for deletion. The topic is notable and the content is long enough to warrant a stand alone article. I'm rather busy these days, but the article could cover Christmas celebrations in Uzbek SSR and post-soviet Uzbekistan. There's a wealth of information on the topic in Russian and Uzbek. Nataev talk 03:47, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I should've worded my rationale better. I commend your work on Uzbekistan-related articles and appreciate what you do. It's never fun nominating articles that someone obviously invested their time into for deletion.
What is the logic you are referring to? I didn't really mention anything about the article being a stub. There is quite a difference between
Christmas in Uzbekistan, where the entirety of the article can be summed up into three or four sentences, since Christmas in the country simply isn't widely celebrated (due to the demographic and historical reasons mentioned in the article). ~ Mooonswimmer 04:08, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

Done. I've merged the entry into the main article and created a redirect. Canada doesn't seem to have its own article on Christmas celebrations there, so we can forget about Muslim Uzbekistan. Nataev talk 09:27, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Observance of Christmas by country. Article doesn't look like it can be expanded upon too much, but the content shouldn't be deleted. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 04:38, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think he passes

WP:GNG. The references in the article are self-published, essentially self-published (things like PR.com and abnewswire.com), interviews, listings of his album on Deezer, Amazon and soundcloud. Others are from blogs or other sources of questionable quality. There's no evidence that any of his books or albums are notable. In any case, I can't find significant, reliable third-party coverage that an article could be built on. Pichpich (talk) 23:55, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

Hard to say exactly how much this meets

WP:MUSICBIO (charting, certs, Grammy nom, etc.) and the duo might also count as "an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians" (although I think the notability of at least one of them is also highly questionable, possibly both), but I'm not sure if those guidelines apply here since they're only songwriters/producers in this duo even though they're also performing musicians in their individual work. It all feels too reliant on the one song credit to be anything but a stretch, but it looks like their non-notability is less obvious than what I immediately thought. QuietHere (talk) 23:54, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply
]

Also started an AfD on Lisa Harriton. If that clears then we can definitely take "independently notable musicians" off the table. Not starting one on Joshua Bartholomew because the coverage on him might be just enough to scrape by, but if anyone else wants to take a second look at that page that would be appreciated (and if you start an AfD or PROD based on that then please let me know here, thanks). QuietHere (talk) 00:11, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The creator of this article,
Everything is Awesome and The Lego Movie
specifically about this composition. I strongly suspect a COI here (especially when combined with the fact that this editor seems to have been the first person to use the name "JoLi" or "Jo Li"). I've placed a disclosure request on their talk page, but given they haven't edited since 2017 (and were mostly active in 2015), I don't expect an answer.
Obviously the YouTube citations should go no matter what, but they also aren't needed to support any page contents; they're a misuse of citations to create an exhaustive list of promotional material for The Lego Movie where the song was played. I went ahead and removed them from the page.
Anyways all the weirdness aside, the group JoLi as a duo seems to be essentially unmentioned in reliable sources and thus do not meet
WP:MUSICBIO #8) names them individually ([5]) and this is a guideline which establishes artists which may be notable. Since usually a delete vote carries with it an implication of being open to most ATDs, I should note I don't think there should be a redirect here either, since the name doesn't appear to be established by reliable sources.

Adding that this Toronto Star article from February 2015 does mention "Jo Li" (with a space): [6]; it seems like the style change was from Jo Li to JoLi (though still haven't found any source stating that, and they weren't credited either way on
Everything is Awesome). Dylnuge (TalkEdits) 01:30, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment. This used to be one of the most commonly used software synths in the Linux pro audio community - as 4meter4 says, Google Books turns up a number of "making music with open source software" kind of sources that describe it from 10-odd years ago. These days people are more likely to use Yoshimi (synthesizer), which is an extended derivative of ZynAddSubFX. Adam Sampson (talk) 01:03, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. the one linked by Suryabeej does seem to have significant coverage. I am hoping that other sources (perhaps offline) exist to make this notable. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 13:32, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I did find a few papers discussing it and a paragraph in Linux Journal which I know aren't the most in-depth sources ever, but they're not trivial either. Given that a lot of the example usages in papers and books I could find were from the early 2000s, I suspect that a lot of the reliable sources that would have existed are now offline or are otherwise not indexed by search engines like Google. - Aoidh (talk) 04:42, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A model from Pakistan with who won a "best male model" award in 2008. But he fails all criteria of

WP:NMODEL
.

  1. He has not had any significant shows. Indeed, the article describes him taking time off to go to university (but not graduate).
  2. He has not made unique or innovative contributions. A source cited in the article does verify the 2008 award, but states:

    "... Ameer Zeb Khan has done few memorable campaigns. Models like Rizwan did better work in 2007, are versatile and also far more recognizable than Ameer Zeb. This was a category where one could clearly think of far more deserved winners."[8]

    Clearly this person does not meet notability guidelines. Senator2029 【talk】 13:03, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I just realized there was a previous deletion discussion, and reading through it I'm surprised this article was kept. Being famous or popular is insufficient to keep, even if we had substantial sources saying so (which we don't). He won a "people's choice" award for best male model, but the "gaze of fashion" is ephemeral thus even less of a reason to keep. Senator2029 【talk】 13:38, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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

The page is a duplicate of Kazuma Kaneko. I appreciate a lot of work has been put into this version, but it isn't clear that the title "The Demon Artist" is widely used as a formal title for this person by secondary sources. That the title is a moniker that is sometimes paired with his name doesn't seem enough to me. For instance, the Megami Tensei wiki does not mention the title, and does not use it to refer to the artist, which suggests to me that this isn't the best way to refer to the person. This is the first time I've attempted to do the deletion process, so thanks for your patience if this is a bit clunky, and thanks also in advance for your thoughts on this.

  • Withdraw and hist merge per Zxc. Original creator is a student editor through a

  • Tend towards keep - there are other references available online at regional press outlets (here, for example) and it's possible to verify everything in the article I think. I have no doubt whatsoever that there will be plenty in offline sources - Wisden, Essex, Derbyshire and Suffolk local press from the 80s, little of which will be online. I'll try the Times archive later if I get the chance, which may throw up things and if no one else does so, I'll add refs into the article. At the very worst this would be a redirect to
    WP:ATD (policy, not guideline) that has consensus across AtD discussions from at least 2018 onwards. I may return to this discussion to add more details when I've had a chance to have a further look. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:38, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • Keep. I agree with BST as there will be adequate coverage in Wisden and Playfair at least; possibly ESPN might have something too. Certainly his notability cannot be in question as he played for several years with three first-class counties and then became a qualified coach. It is a question of BLP sourcing per the banner there. Article also needs an infobox and copyediting. I haven't time now but will happily do those later. BoJó | talk UTC 09:17, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've added an infobox. I'll do some tidying up next and create some structure. We can then see what is needed and find the sources. As it happens, I don't have any Playfairs for the 1980s so I'd appreciate help with those as Chris must have had coverage in all of them. Thanks. BoJó | talk UTC 10:23, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think the article has shape now but there's work to be done on his playing career which needs copyediting first and then some expansion. The most important thing there will be non-database sources, although it's fine to reference an occasional scorecard, as when he made his 162 and perhaps the match against the West Indians. Playfair is needed, plus any useful mentions in Wisden. Anything else from BST in the press archives will be a great help. BoJó | talk UTC 11:28, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - 71 first-class appearances? This is becoming a little silly. Sometimes you have to wonder how much work the nominator has put into finding secondary sources - or indeed how they came about the article in the first place. I can't believe there is a cricketer with 71 first-class appearances and no "significant coverage" - I still don't know or particularly care what that means when all it seems to be is an excuse to delete cricketers with 71 first-class appearances. Bobo. 10:08, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - For the record, there are 25 first-class cricketers for Essex alone whose surnames only begin with A or B whose only references/external links come from Cricinfo and/or Cricketarchive. If these conversations are going to happen another 25 times because someone with no connection to or knowledge of the sport finds them seemingly at random(?), I'm already tired. Bobo. 10:19, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Given that coverage exists, what is or isn't cited in the article is not the determiner of notability. --Michig (talk) 16:11, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Without too much effort, I've expanded the article from 185 words with one external link to 732 words with five cited sources and one new external link. There are definitely more sources out there. The 1990 edition of Playfair will certainly have a full career summary but I don't have access to it and there will definitely be more mentions in Wisden, especially the 1985 edition. That is before we think about various news items and county coverage. The expansion of this article today shows how easily cricket biographies can meet SIGCOV with just a little research and effort. BoJó | talk UTC 21:42, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And with a career of significant length, there will doubtless be lots out there to find in both online and offline sources. The fact that the nominating user in question states what the article currently contains makes it sound like they have made no effort in attempting to find, or enquiring whether there may be, anything more to add. Bobo. 04:18, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It was a poor article, but one should first look to how it might be improved, and only if that is not possible nominate it for deletion. The article has now been greatly expanded, with multiple sources showing that Gladwin was clearly notable. JH (talk page) 09:27, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NPOLITICIAN, has yet to be elected to a notable position. Noting Wikipedia is not for posting profiles of aspiring politicians. Dan arndt (talk) 06:15, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply
]

@Dan arndt: — This article about Andrew Jones (Missouri politician) is necessary to understand what happened in the 2021 St. Louis mayoral election. In the course of authoring this article, I learned that Jones is running for yet another office (this one: 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Missouri#District 1). I certainly hope that Cori Bush beats him (and it looks like she will, per Silver, Nate (2022-06-30). "2022 House Forecast". FiveThirtyEight. Retrieved 2022-10-23.), but there is plenty of precedent for challengers nominated by Republicans or the Democrats to have articles (see 2022 United States House of Representatives elections). I'll grant you I have my biases (which I share on my conflict-of-interest page), but really, I'm trying to learn about that 2021 St. Louis mayoral election myself. It would seem that there may be editors on this wiki trying to obfuscate what happened in 2021 (e.g. given how events played out for Lewis E. Reed after the election, I wouldn't be surprised if he'd prefer to lay low). I would appreciate the opportunity to expand the article about Mr. Jones prior to seeing the article deleted. Moreover, it seems that Wikipedia has a pro-incumbent bias, where the only way to gain notability is to hold office already. Most of the people running in the 2021 St. Louis mayoral election can cite their incumbency as justification for having articles. Let's not be so quick to delete articles of minority candidates like Andrew Jones this as "non-notable". Not all of the biographical articles on Wikipedia need to be about white dudes. -- RobLa (talk) 07:19, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@
WP:NPOL apply to ensure that Wikipedia is not littered with articles on political nominees, which by your preceding statement he is unlikely to ever achieve a notable political office. I'd suggest that this either be moved to a draft until such time as you can find significant coverage about Mr. Jones, outside of his running for political office, or that you expand the article on the 2021 St. Louis mayoral election

Stretching for notability with these current sources. Vulture only mentions sonhos once in passing. Paste is about the split album but doesn't really talk about sonhos as an artist. Sputnik is a staff review but I've always found the website somewhat questionable and I wouldn't feel comfortable counting it for notability. Stereogum discusses the album as a Parannoul project that happens to have two other artists on it which feels too dismissive to count. And the Musica Instantanea might just be press release rewrites; I also can't speak to the reliability of that website as I've never seen it before and it's only used on one other EN WP article (The Smile's "

I strongly disagree with this assessment. These bus routes are government run, so the Department of Transport, Public Transport Victoria, and the Premier of Victoria are in no way independent as asserted in this source assessment table. The Bus and Coach article mentions route 903. It's a single sentence; two if we are being very generous and that is hardly rising to even partial significant coverage. Moovit is a bus route and schedule. The site is a directory of such routes. There is nothing unknown about whether it contributes to notability. It flat out does not. The only source that moves the notability bar a smidge is the Driven article.

This is what the source assessment table should look like setting aside all the sources you skipped.

    To be fair if I thought the article I spent a lot of time on would get deleted then I would keep a backup some where too and why not put it on another wiki since it seems likely to me this will get deleted. Maxinfet (talk) 06:39, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Both the argument used by that single individual to keep it (which is a bad one) and it's existence elsewhere are irrelevant to the decision of whether to keep it. The article should be judged on it's quality and relevancy, not on the quality of the arguments used by a single person, even if that's the person who wrote it. As for a duplicate existing on another Wiki, Wikipedia's aim isn't to document only what doesn't exist elsewhere.
    But note that this comment I'm writing isn't an argument to keep. I'm abstaining from that as my familiarity with Wikipedia's policy isn't good enough. I'm simply arguing that the reasons in the comment I'm replying to aren't good. Davide (talk) 15:07, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Extended content
Hi there! I'm an admin over on the relevant fan wiki, where yes, the primary author has begun the process of porting their work. I expect that this discussion will pass, although you may see some community members coming over from Reddit to say their piece. I've worked to describe WP's process and policies to the Reddit community, but if someone more acclimated to this culture wants to contribute to the thread, it might be enlightening.
My only quibble, @Pppery, is that it would be more neutral and welcoming to choose a word less loaded than "cruft" to describe an editor's work. Whether that work belongs on Wikipedia or not, and regardless of the quality of their output, it costs us very little to respect their effort. Jrcollins (talk) 05:58, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Fancruft is the standard term for this, not intended as an insult. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:27, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Does this not follow the precedence for other sports on this site? It seems that other sports list their rules changes and history as well as keep a general rules page then more specific rules pages. Here are some examples of baseball rules pages, it looks to me like they keep some generic history and then there are more specific pages which would be in line with keeping a Magic the Gathering general history then the history of the first tournament format called Standard/Type II.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_Rule
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_rules_of_Major_League_Baseball
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unwritten_rules_of_baseball
I don't know a lot about baseball but there were a lot more I could have linked to and I would imagine other sports are the same. I understand Magic the Gathering is missing the pedigree that baseball has but where is the line drawn; how many years old does Magic need to be before we are allowed to keep our history here of an individual format? Maxinfet (talk) 06:34, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. And the second of those articles does not contain such a list, whereas the third one is based on significantly higher-quality sources than this timeline is. The first of those articles is not at all comparable; it's about a specific rule in Tort Law, which as far as I can tell has no relation whatsoever to Magic: The Gathering cards. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:27, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

There is no reason they could not have compiled a list of rules changes for baseball like the person maintaining this article has, I would argue that for Magics history of the Standard format this was the ideal way to present the information.
I was not trying to make a case that the articles were exactly the same in their presentation and format or even their content. I was trying to point out that sports the same structure of having a document about their rules then get more specifically into their rules of leagues or even into the laws that back their leagues since the US has a interesting relationship with their baseball league and the legal system. Sorry about my bad communication and admittedly my examples were not great.
Let me try to explain myself better and I appreciate your patients given that I imagine a lot of people came from reddit like I did and are probably giving non-constructive criticism. I was trying to liken MTG rules and a page about Standard/Type II history to how we have Baseball wiki pages on
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS seems pretty clear, I just wanted to clarify my argument even if it was not correct. Maxinfet (talk) 23:59, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

If you want to extend your baseball analogy to magic, you're looking for Magic: The Gathering rules, which has survived several deletion discussions and I recently rewrote to be based almost entirely on secondary sources, or Magic: The Gathering formats. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I saw the
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS shows that the argument isn't sound. Just curious could some of the information in this page be moved to Magic: The Gathering formats and is their a good guideline page that you would suggest for that? I am not thinking about the entire chart but there are some interesting points in the list that if they are not in the Magic: The Gathering formats would be good to preserve, for example like the rules changes to companions just because of how rare an errata like that is. Maxinfet (talk) 00:49, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply

The companion mechanic is already discussed at Magic: The Gathering formats#Vintage. One could also justify adding it to List of Magic: The Gathering keywords, where it's currently missing entirely, and discussing the rules change there (although I think List of Magic: The Gathering keywords should also be deleted, and the only reason I haven't AfD-ed it is that it survived several deletion discussions in the past). But you should rely on secondary sources discussing the mechanic (of which there are plenty, such as this) not the banlists themselves to make that point, so there's nothing really to move.* Pppery * it has begun... 01:00, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep One of the reasons given for deletion is this articles reliance on primary sources, which even a cursory reading of
    WP:PRIMARY shows is ridiculous — the guideline exists to discourage the *novel interpretation* of primary sources, which plainly does not apply to an article that consists only of a timeline of factual events. The bare URLs complaint is easily addressed; I'm happy to do it myself in the event that the page is kept. And the "excessive intricate detail" complaint is pretty silly in the face of plenty of other Wikipedia content; humorously, a delete voter above said this would be like keeping a page of detailed explanations of Pokémon, which is content that absolutely already exists — note that in addition to this enormous table, every single one of the 905 listed Pokémon is linked to a page covering its generation, with, indeed, a significantly more detailed explanation of what it does than anything on this page.

    Again
    WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and you're missing the clause Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them. Can we please have more substantive arguments and less responses to off-wiki canvassing? * Pppery * it has begun... 14:27, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

  • Transwiki as too detailed and too primary-source heavy for Wikipedia. (Canvassing disclaimer: saw the Reddit post asking people to come here and vote keep.) That said, there is information here that is Wikipedia-worthy that can and should be moved to other articles on Wikipedia if User:Phlounder is up for helping out the MTG Wikiproject. For example, all of the information on bans is often relevant to bring up elsewhere and has valid secondary coverage. The Kaladesh and Throne of Eldraine articles could certainly use more content discussing the large number of banned cards from those sets, when they happened, the fan reaction to the bans, and so on. This might be a more productive use of the sources gathered by the OP than this kind of chart? SnowFire (talk) 16:09, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I am the primary author of this page. I concede defeat, I have moved the page to mtgwiki, a fan wiki. I will not be updating it here anymore, so you may as well delete it. There are arguments for and against keeping it on Wikipedia that both make sense to me, but I'm not interested in the effort of defending it at this point. As a casual Wikipedia user, I was not fully versed in all of Wikipedia's policies and standards, and indeed, as this page got longer and longer I struggled to keep up with Wikipedia's formatting and documentation requirements. However, please note that in the zeal to make Wikipedia a place with more exacting standards of what belongs and what doesn't - you are creating a knowledgebase defined by gatekeepery diehards and excluding many who might help keep the site alive in the future. I will never donate to Wikipedia ever again. The lesson I have learned is that small businesses and local artists are insufficiently notable and timelines of product releases lack correct sources. My vision of Wikipedia is more inclusive but people like to gatekeep - so I'm out. Enjoy your exclusive community. I don't even know how to signoff correctly, maybe this will suffice: --* Phlounder * 16:28, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • The people who are "gatekeeping" are volunteers and thus not the same as the people who get the donations, so this threat isn't as effective as you think it is. Per my comment above, there is *plenty* of work to be done on MTG articles on Wikipedia that won't attract any deletion discussions at all. You are still welcome to contribute - despite your statements, we are a pretty welcoming and inclusive community, and you just had the bad luck that your major contribution fit better in fan wikis than here. We aren't being "exclusive" because we hate you personally or something - in fact, it's an impressive piece of work that is a good sign you could be a solid Wikipedia editor, just that doesn't change that it is content better suited for fan wikis than Wikipedia. If you ever change your mind and want to contribute to Wikipedia in a way that won't attract a deletion discussion, you'll find that the community you perceive as exclusive is actually pretty chill and would be happy to help you out - just ask before you start on such a big project.

      I would rather that folks be
      WP:BOLD. I don't think Phlounder erred in starting this page; we simply face the tragedy that they worked on it for five years before anyone else thought to question its inclusion. For three years, it was linked in the game's navbox template, on hundreds of pages, without complaint. I'm not arguing for keeping it. I'm trying to suggest that there were more respectful ways of opening this discussion. Jrcollins (talk) 17:23, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete. I might be a huge fan of Magic (hell, I named myself after a character in the game), but this doesn't belong on Wikipedia. LilianaUwU (talk / contribs) 00:45, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I really do respect the effort that goes into making and maintaining a page like this, and I understand that when you put a lot of work into something, it can be heartbreaking to have it nominated for not meeting inclusion criteria. This isn't a judgement of the content! Wikipedia's goal is to
    people find them useful
    .
As for inclusivity, this isn't about any editor. Everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but that is what editing is: contributing to Wikipedia. Be bold, add pages, write content, but understand that
you don't own it
. This isn't a site that hosts a bunch of individual editor's articles, it's something more than that—an encyclopedia that is ultimately built by all of us. Wikipedia's policies are designed to keep us on the same page about what this site is. They are built by editors through consensus, just like everything else here.
A note to closing admins: I have used pipe links to relevant policies here, instead of directly citing them by short names. I did this to keep the language as clear as possible for editors less familiar with the policy side of Wikipedia, and I'm sorry if this makes it harder to parse.

Hard to find sources. Being an undefined “military man and politician” could mean anything from corporal and small town city council member to four star*general and mayor of Caracas. No one has bothered to say. BostonMensa (talk) 01:29, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I was hoping to offer some insight, although I thank Curbon7 for starting before. I found a biography in Venezuela Tuya (see entry in
    WP:POLITICIAN
    .
What I'm concerned about is how difficult I've had it to find other online sources, including in the Polar Foundation History Dictionary, whose content Venezuela Tuya usually copies, which is needed for
WP:GNG. I would personally lean to keep the article and to be more lenient in this regard, considering that this is a historical figure, and focus on bibliographical material if possible. Manuel Landaeta Rosales [es] is one of the historians that seem to have written about him, already mentioned above. --NoonIcarus (talk) 01:01, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply

How do we know it means minimal standards as politician? The article stares politician. That could be school board member or mayor of a town of 1500 people. If you know something more, I insist you add it to the the article with a verifiable reference. In like people who refused when I said that in the past and adamantly disagreed with me, a major point of Wiki is to collaboeate and share information, not keep it to yourself. BostonMensa (talk) 21:03, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keeping the information to myself is literally the opposite of what I did. I can offer the original quotes in Spanish and their respective English translations, but all of the information that I mentioned can be found in the source offered above, whose link in the article I have fixed. --NoonIcarus (talk) 03:56, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
comment Might I add that this article has been around for many years and no one has has expanded it beyond one very sad sentence. I agree on the surface, the subject has potential but based simply on what the article says, we are at best guessing. If no one has done anything in all these years, I Would be surprised I’d anyone did.
