Izabela Kisio-Skorupa

AfDs for this article:

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

No notability, she's just a minor Internet "celeb" known to only a small number of people, even Polish Wikipedia deleted an "article" about her because it only contained references to gossip sites, just like here. Chomczurek065 (talk) 20:54, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article is well-written, full of correctly assigned references and covers the well-known person of the online culture, especially among the youth, still mentioned by important media figures like Kuba Wojewódzki or Karolina Korwin-Piotrkowska, both journalists. Kisio-Skorupa not only is an inspiring actress and already a singer with more and more songs released digitally, but also a personality with the history of oft-discussed controversies. There is absolutely no reason to delete that article apart from your personal disgust with the questionable, but undeniable phenomenon of such people like her, Paris Hilton or Tiffany Pollard.

Homophobia in ethnic minority communities

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

I can't see how this will ever satisfy Wikipedia NPOV – "ethnic minority" is obviously very culture-dependent, and whole article has been tagged with UK and US-centrism for a while now. If we keep this article, it definitely needs to be renamed or split off into two on the US and UK (and deleting the current title). Thoughts? GnocchiFan (talk) 19:50, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or
WP:TNT or rename, the entire premise of the article is problematic, for the reasons outlines by @GnocchiFan CT55555(talk) 20:39, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply
]

Move to Homophobia in ethnic minority communities in the United States and United Kingdom, then. The topic in those two countries is well-researched. Homophobia in countries where homophobia is government policy might be covered better in a separate article or series of articles. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:34, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Does the research focus on that topic (the homophobia within ethnic minorities in the UK and US" collectively?) CT55555(talk) 02:23, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Rename - The claim that the article is inherently NPOV is problematic; it implies either that the concept of homophobia is itself impossible to discuss without a POV, or that it becomes impossible within the context of minority populations. Neither is true. There are unique drivers (and lots of unique RSs) within all sorts of minority communities. As for the US/UK centric, deleting an article for that reason will leave us with a very small encyclopaedia. This should be a fork from Homophobia that deals with Homophobia in Minority Communities as a whole. The Homophobia article is already too long, and there is enough distinction in RS for a valid fork if we remove the 'ethnic' limiter. 'Ethnic' is, itself, a problematic term as well. Removing 'ethnic' might expand the editor pool to communities where 'ethic' might be problematic: Are Dalits ethnics? How about the Afd and III Path or anyone else on the Radical Right in any country? Widening the scope might widen the editor pool. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 19:21, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Split: Not sure if this one can be saved via
WP:NPOV. Waddles 🗩 🖉 23:45, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

Incorrect. The title is neutral. The problem is the lack of examples outside of the United States and the United Kingdom.

"ethnic minority communities" is correct. On the other hand, we wouldn't say "deaf minority communities" even though the deaf community is a minority. Iterresise (talk) 16:12, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hence my suggestion to remove the 'ethnic' adjective entirely. If this were simply renamed Homophobia in Minority Communities, it would broaden the base of editors who might contribute, including communities like those with hearing or visually impairment, various stripes of social separatists, castes and classes, etc., none of which are clear-cut ethnicities. Regardless, this is not a ripe article for deletion; it is an opportunity to improve our encyclopaedia. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 16:39, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So this would include sexual minorities including bisexuals and homosexuals who are homophobic since they are minorities and some of them form their own communities. I guess that would make sense since some homosexuals are confused before them come out.... What is the point of changing the title and thus/therefore the scope of the article when the research is about ethnicity and race? Iterresise (talk) 17:36, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If there are RS on self-fear amongst homosexuals of homosexuals, I think it would be a good addition to a wider, more robust, more sustainable article. The point of changing the title and thus/therefore the scope of the article when the research is about ethnicity and race would be to expand the scope of the article and thus improve the pool of sources (and especially editors) whose contributions would improve Wikipedia. It is possible that the sources are about ethnicity and US/UK-centric because the intersectionality of race and seuxality are at the centre of the culture war in both countries. Perhaps widening the scope would open the door to diverse RSs (and editors) focused on homophobia by socioeconomic segment, caste, class, disability, etc. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 20:30, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It might, but the scope is about "Homophobia in ethnic minority communities" [own emphasis]. This phenomenon is found in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Asia,

etc.. Homophobia in the disability community is uncommon and probably nonexistent. They face work discrimination and that is their primary concern. Iterresise (talk) 21:13, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

]

Yes, I understand the current scope of the article. I think the scope definition is a key part of the problem here, and the reason that this is even under consideration for AfD. I proposed renaming it to expand that scope. Yes, getting more input from other parts of the Anglosphere would be great (and, yes, I know what et cetera means), but I don't think adding to the 'width' of worldview is enough to make this a viable, valuable article without added depth. It's too shallow and too easy to fall into the US/UK culture war churn. FYI: Your assertion that Homophobia in the disability community is uncommon and probably nonexistent is profoundly misguided as I can tell you from personal experience even though I haven't searched for RS on that. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 00:19, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any RSs to support your assertion? Iterresise (talk) 14:31, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

T-shirt size

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

I cannot quite see what this article is meant to be about. Therre are already various article on garment sizes, for instance Clothing sizes. I can't see why T-shirt sizes merit a separate article, so am dubious about the value of simply creating a reddirect.TheLongTone (talk) 14:27, 3 August 2023 (UTC) TheLongTone (talk) 14:27, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete You have to be kidding me. There is no way the practices for labeling t-shirt sizes is encyclopedic, and that's not even what the article is about...the attempts to link the subject to CSS class names in Bootstrap (among other topics) is OR to the point of hallucination. None of the sources cited that I could access even talks about t-shirt size, only mentions size as an analogy.WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:45, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to T-shirt? Agree that this page has no virtue to exist. --TheLonelyPather (talk) 15:47, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The article cites two Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) standards (JIS L 4004 Sizing systems for men's garments and JIS L 4005 Sizing Systems for Women's Garments), but I don't know whether those standards include specific sizing for T-shirts. I do not know whether a corresponding ISO, ANSI or trade association standard exists. Canada has Canada Standard Sizes, but only for children's clothing. If Japan's standards are the only ones available, then the article will focus on those. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 17:20, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The JIS standards are only cited to source variants like LLL instead of XXL. — Christoph Päper 13:50, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
“T-shirt size” is used as a term to refer to ordinal size categories S, M and L (and more) even outside the clothing context. That’s what this article is trying to be about. They are prevalent in (agile) software development effort estimation for instance,^[1]^[2]^[3] but I tried to broaden the scope of the article because S/M/L or SM/MD/LG are also used in (graphic) design^[4]^[5] and retail – importantly, the English abbreviations are often used in other languages verbatim. Sometimes, just one of them, usually XL or XXL, is used without the others as a label to highlight an unusual size of a product. — Christoph Päper 13:50, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
comment Small, Medium and Large are simply ordinary words; I fail to see what difference it makes when they are applied to T-shirts. The article does not enlighten me. I note that the given refs are entirely fatuous.TheLongTone (talk) 14:03, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Abbreviating extra by X, duplicating it and using (X)S, M, (X)L outside English is not ordinary. Calling something “T-shirt size”, when it’s not actually about clothing, is not ordinary. 08:57, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
Redirect to Clothing sizes. Apart from the trivial duplication increments, all material is already present there. --Elmidae (talk · contribs)

Relisting comment: Relisting because several comments do not appear to acknowledge that the article is about the use of t-shirt sizes as a metaphor, rather than actual clothing sizes. That does not mean the article should be kept, but I do not want to create the appearance that we are deleting articles without correctly understanding what the subject is.

Merge and redirect to T-shirt. This page is a joke and has no reason to exist. IncompA 20:35, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Coment: I think there's a broader mathematics/computer science point to this article about a type of data (as I parse the first sentence, a variable type where various physical sizes are lumped together into e.g. "small", you can put the different values e.g. "small", "medium", "large" into order, but you can't necessarily tell the absolute size of the shirt just from knowing it's a "medium"). If there are any sources for the usage of this term in this context outside the sizing of clothing, most of the rationale for deletion vanishes. That might be a big if, though.

Keep for the same reason cancelled video games also have articles/sections, anything that was planned but didn't happen (as long as it's properly sourced) has an article/section.

Keep - I would agree to Panam2014's proposal as a fallback, but I think there is plenty here to justify a separate article. Something not happening due to crises or simple cancellation has never been a valid cause for deletion, especially where there is reasonable, sustained, non-local coverage (all of which are shown by the cites).

Comment As evidenced by all the primary sources in the article, measuring programming language popularity is an active field of endeavor and possibly a notable topic. What we would need would be secondary reliable sources comparing and contrasting the kinds of metrics developed and how they are measured.

Hence I agree with deletion for now, but am happy to reconsider should secondary RS be found. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 17:17, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Onaka was the recipient of a prestigious national award, the Halbert L. Dunn award, and served as president of a national vital records trade association. These accomplishments made the newspapers in Hawaii. Wikipedia would better served by more content about NAPHSIS and its role in setting the policies that the United States uses to maintain the integrity of its vital records.

Of course the Obama birth certificate mess got him some national attention, a number of times, as his certifications became the basis fore state decisions to allow Obama on the Ballot, and as evidence in lawsuits such as Taitz v. Mississippi.

I would also point out that Wikipedia, at the time this entry was created, was looking for more content about notable Hawaiians. Dr. Conspiracy (talk) 20:57, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I found nothing usable on Newspapers.com, and the only stuff I could find on plain Google was trivial mentions about Obama's birth certificate, and a book he wrote for the Hawaiian state government. (Also, apparently he was involved in a gay rights lawsuit, but that was just more trivial mentions of "the state registrar in Hawaii did so-and-so".) Nothing I saw seemed GNG-usable - all mentions of him are only about what he does as part of his job. casualdejekyll 23:14, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- That's not the independent source you need to supply, is it.—S Marshall T/C 17:29, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's perfectly sufficient when the nomination is fundamentally flawed, which was my point. If you claim an institution is non-degree-granting when its website says it is degree-granting then you've got to be prepared to be called out over it as a clear breach of
    WP:BEFORE. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:15, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    - As I read the previous AFD the last time we deleted this, the consensus at that time was that it doesn't grant degrees, or at least that contention was not challenged. Now you say it does. I don't speak Georgian, so all I know is that Google Translate thinks that the university's own website claims that it grants degrees.
      To be fair to you, both could be true -- the university might have expanded its curriculum in the mean time. In which case my nomination should read: "I've been unable to locate decent, independent sources about this university which mainly grants pilots' licences and technical qualifications for air crew, but does have a proportion of students seeking academic degrees in aviation law and business administration." In which case, I'm wrong, mea culpa. I don the Hair Shirt of Having Missed That.
      But you're saying, "One error in your nomination statement means we have to keep the article!" and that's not so. We should not be keeping an article with no independent sources. And as a sysop, you should not be advocating keeping an article with no independent sources. That's inappropriate.—S Marshall T/C 16:30, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - accreditation is no longer considered an automatic pass on notability any more than existence is for secondary schools.

Delete Needs some modicum of significant coverage to establish that she "has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work." She has credits as an editor, but I don't think we can say that's a "major role" in "co-creation" when there's no depth of sourcing. These are feature films, but don't have the significance that anyone who worked on them is notable per criterion 3 to the detriment of
WP:BASIC/GNG, as this is "trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources". Reywas92^Talk 00:27, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply
]

Delete per Reywas92; well put. Criterion 3 for
WP:NCREATIVE requires verifiability that they played a major role in the creation; having edited the film is not at all a pass without sourcing to indicate the editing significantly contributed to the final product's makeup. Said sourcing doesn't exist, nor any sourcing discussing Jamie specifically. —Sirdog (talk) 06:40, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

Comment I am sorry but the guideline says this: "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series);" Sources show she was editor for various film/TV works that received such coverage. In-depth/specific sources on her are therefore NOT needed; that is precisely why this criterion exists. And if editing is not a major part of a film, well, then, what is?-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 20:04, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Editing is an important part of filmmaking, but I would not call the editor a film's co-creator, same for the cinematographer or even producers; that's more the director or some writers. This criterion does not exist to say it's okay to have articles with zero substantive coverage. If this was really such a "major" role, I would expect discussion of that role, not just credits listings without context. Furthermore, I wouldn't call any of these films "significant" or particularly well-known. Reywas92^Talk 23:42, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I'm once again beaten by Reywas92, who has stated what I intended to. For clarity on the particulars of policy that I believe we are leaning on, Wikipedia:Notability states "... topics which pass an SNG are presumed to merit an article, though articles which pass an SNG or the GNG may still be deleted or merged into another article, especially if adequate sourcing or significant coverage cannot be found" and Wikipedia:Notability (people) states "Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included". Emphasis for both added by me. —Sirdog (talk) 23:50, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I think since the film reviews do not mention praise/criticize the editing, the editor is not notable. [29], [30], [31] and [32]. Furthermore, while these films could have been edited by the same person, they could have been edited by two+ different people with the same name and such research is original research.

Comment - Practical note: this is actually a second nomination, it was previously deleted under the name "LeetCode" in 2016. If this article is kept this time, the article should be moved to LeetCode, which currently exists as a redirect but was previously deleted. Now, to notability: Sourcing looks worse than I assumed it would. Part of the issue here is that LeetCode is ubiquitous in tech blogs and online discussions, so there are many passing mentions: 500+ hits on Google Scholar, dozens on Google Books, etc. that make finding significant coverage challenging. There has been comparatively little coverage in the mainstream or business press (e.g. see the paragraph description of the product in the New York Times).

The article notes on page 1: "To evaluate the correctness of Copilot’s suggestions, we use LeetCode, a question pool website, which provides us with the context needed to create Copilot queries (function name, parameters, input, and output of the function) as well as test cases that we can use to evaluate correctness of the suggestions. LeetCode questions come with test cases in various programming languages, allowing us to assess the correctness of Copilot’s suggestions in 4 different languages (Python, Java, JavaScript, and C)."

Such websites provide various coding questions on different topics (array, algorithm, sorting, etc) along with corresponding tests to check correctness. ... LeetCode also provides a publicly available API to fetch submission details. Figure 2a shows an example LeetCode question, named Longest Increasing Path in a Matrix. The question contains information like the input (m x n integers matrix), the expected output (the length of the longest increasing path in a matrix), and any assumptions (no wrap-around). Each question also comes with a coding environment to submit solutions, shown in Figure 2b. This coding environment contains the function name (longestIncreasingPath) and parameters (self, matrix) with clear details into the type of each parameter."

LeetCode’s tests also ensure that submitted code snippets “meet various time and space restrictions and pass corner cases” for the given problem. Users are also able to see a history of their submission status for the current coding problem and any past code solutions submitted for the same question, as shown in Figure 2c. The possible statuses are: ..."

The article notes: "Leetcode is an online platform for practicing algorithmic coding challenges designed to prepare software engineers for technical interviews. After a correct solution is submitted, leetcode provides a distribution of accepted solutions according to run-time, along with representative samples from other users along this distribution. We scraped all such available samples across 32 array problems, for a total of 1,836 code snippets. This allowed us to study real implementations of the same problem at variable run-times, and to isolate syntax as the cause of either high or low performance."

.
The book notes: "LeetCode encourages social interaction with other developers with coding contests, challenges, and discussions. The “Playground” feature allows you to write code in several languages, including Go, JavaScript, and Python. However, there are some limitations. With Go, it is not trivial to import packages outside the standard library or to run tests via go test. With Python, it’s not obvious how to run tests using the unittest package. The free version restricts the number of Playgrounds (currently 10); the paid subscription removes this restriction and offers a host of other features, such as debugging and autocompletion. Figure A-4 shows a LeetCode window with JavaScript code from Chapter 1. The test in the code has been deliberately broken test to illustrate how test failures appear in LeetCode."

The book notes: "LeetCode is a platform that specializes in algorithm questions ranked from “Easy” to “Hard” based on the complexity of the subject and solution. They also have a forum where people share what interview questions they encountered in phone screens and on-site interviews to share with the larger public and to help software engineers prepare. I have been fortunate that the only time that I encountered a LeetCode problem during a screening process was for Amazon. As tedious as studying for LeetCode problems is, I have compiled steps that made solving them easier and faster as I was grinding algorithms."

.
The book notes: "The equivalent for software engineers is the “LeetCode interview." LeetCode is a popular coding and interview-prep website that offers engineers hundreds of typical technical questions and interview work assignments. The right side of the Leetcode window is a code editor allowing the user to type in code in a selected language. The code can be executed (to see how well it works) or critiqued by other users. LeetCode offers a path for anyone, from 10-year-old prodigies to mid-career switchers, to learn coding. It allows users to conduct mock job interviews with questions, rated by difficulty, that have been asked at specific companies. Other sites, such as HackerRank, InterviewBit, and Topcoder, offer similar features."

There is sufficient coverage in
reliable sources to allow LeetCode (Chinese: 力扣) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

I take it that the "X" here in the table below indicates a negative? I'm not sure how you can rate Austlit as neither independent (it is a long running Australian bibliographic project running out of the University of Queensland) nor reliable, as this is the premier Australian literary resource in the country. I'd like some explanation of that if possible. Similarly with the ISBNs and the Florey Institute annual report which are rated as non-independent. The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, which has its own wiki page, is one of the premier health research facilities in the country. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 02:21, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To establish notability, sources need to be independent of the subject. Books the subject has written don‘t fulfill that requirement, and neither do companies or institutes where Gerrand is a member of the board. Note that even if AustLit is reliable and independent, it provides no significant coverage of Gerrand. Actualcpscm^{scrutinize, talk} 06:36, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I grant you that Austlit does not provide significant coverage as it's a bibliographic index, a listing. The trouble is you rate it as "not independent" and "not reliable" which is clearly incorrect. That brings into question your other ratings which will influence anyone reading your Assessment Table.

Similarly for the listing of books. They are referenced to indicate that they are not just made up but do, in fact, exist. On other pages I've had other editors indicate that such listings must be referenced. But again they are not meant to.

I have linked to the Florey Institute's annual report as it indicates that Gerrand held the position of director. It's made as a statement of fact in that document. It's also made as a statement of fact in other referenced documents from other organisations. I just thought it was better to reference a directorial position directly from the relevant organisation rather than from one of the others. Is it preferable for me to reference his Florey Institute work from the Healthy Parks Healthy People Global reference, and vice versa? That seems very confusing to me.

My main concern is that your Assessment Table contains so many queries about, and negative assessments of, independent and reliable organisations that a casual glance from another editor would immediately conclude that there was no possible argument against deletion.

Please reconsider deletion of this page. the proper information has been added, Zack Page is professional fighter, who has fought against some of boxings toughest opponents. he is a well known respected fighter in the community, and yes. His record does not prove any significance, however the outcome of his fights do. not many fighters can go toe to toe all 6 or 8 or 10 rounds with some of the best heavyweights in the world. so I ask that you please review, reconsider and do not delete this page. it took me a few days to gather up all the information regarding Zack Page so that I could organize this page. There are less significant fighters, that are linked on his fighting record, who all have pages, and has fought nobody significant either. for that I see this is a little bias and unfair. So all I ask is that you reconsider your choice and avoid the deletion of this page.

Subject is

The Guardian is clearly relevant, but do the others really talk about running gags in the paper vs. just the paper? Plus the Age link is broken. Dronebogus (talk) 11:53, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes they do. WSJ: "a baffling shorthand of catchphrases and in-jokes". The National: "The jokes were always there, such as nicknaming HM the Queen as Brenda, while the purported thoughts of Prince Charles – Brian – are a regular feature. Their name calling has been a regular petty feature – Andrew Neil as Brillo, Piers Morgan as Piers Moron and Richard Branson as Beardie spring to mind." The Age: "You have to be in on the in-jokes".

Keep for all the above reasons. The Eye is well known for its in-jokes, some of which have progressed into general circulation (e.g. Tired and emotional, which now appears in the OED), others of which are impenetrable to anyone other than regular readers, and which merit encyclopedic unravelling.

Keep - article subject is not "made up", it was originally split from the parent article due to the latter's length. The terminology used in Private Eye, per Siroxo's sources, is part of what makes the magasine an institution, and much of it has entered common parlance.

Procedural keep per Rhododendrites. This is very likely to have been opened in bad faith, and I would support sanctions against Dronebogus for pulling this stunt. XfD is not a weapon and should not be used as such.

Keep. I can see why this was nominated. Almost all conceivable articles named "Recurring jokes in X" would be deletable.

Comment: I was able to find a copy of the Guardian for the date in question. However the issue here is that it doesn't really back up the claim about a stage performance. There's mention about a group of cloggies coming on stage, however it comes across like they were a part of the stage performance of Comus rather than a performance by a specific group called the Cloggies. Something to note is that the term was presumably popularized by this time, so it could have just been a random group of dancers. Since we don't have any discoverable proof that this group ever existed, I'm removing this section - especially as it (and much of the article) is written in a non-neutral, almost joking tone. If it's to be kept it needs good sourcing and serious work. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 18:37, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This was and still is a difficult topic to find sourcing for. Here's the general gist of why it's difficult:

It looks like the bulk of Cloggie specific sourcing was most likely published from the 1960s through the 1980s. The popularity of Cloggie, along with The Forsyte Saga, made him an appealing person to have on TV and radio. It's at this point where he branched out more and put out other work - although he's still touted as "Billy Tidy of Cloggies and The Forsyte Saga fame". It's just that at this point both series have ended, so the focus is more on his current work.

What I have been able to find talks about The Cloggies like the reader should be more than familiar with the work in question. These types of sources, along with the more substantial coverage I've found for the strip (as well as general human interest pieces like this) and its doomed stage production, heavily imply that there is more sourcing out there. It's just not available online or at least in places I can access. It's why I'm willing to argue for a keep here as opposed to a merge. It just doesn't help that this was written in a joking, fan-like fashion, which to be honest did not make me optimistic that I would find anything. I was surprised to find what I did. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 19:43, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On a side note, it looks like at one point Tidy was looking into taking legal action against the series Brass, as he felt it was too similar to Cloggies. Not sure what to do with the source, since I'm a bit hesitant to add it without more. There's mention of a magazine article that also covered the similarities, so there's definitely more out there. This is kind of an example of what I wrote above - there's more out there but it's uncovering and accessing it that is the issue here.

Interesting you're not sure it should be merged but you're sure it should be deleted, yet you've suggested it could be merged.

FYI, you can't delete and merge. Because of the license you have to preserve the edit history. Might be worth familiarising yourself with key policies on Wikipedia. Also not clear why you say a redirect is implausible. I'm also not clear why we're at afd on this one when there are alternatives that haven't been pursued. Wikipedia is losing too many articles and editors because to me it feels like there's a trend towards listing problems for deletion rather than fixing them, and the low volume of debate around potential is undermining the
purpose of the site. Anyways, I think that's my last word on the subject, the argument seems to be circular. I'm still not clear why we're at AFD and in three responses the nominator has failed to convince me they know why either, which is worrisome to me. There are better fixes available here than deletion, that's the thrust of my argument and I don't see it changing. Peace and best wishes, Hiding T 05:26, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

Like most albums from that series, there is nothing here to indicate notability (and no references); content is catalogue info on publication plus a lenghty plot summary. French language article is longer but also has no reception, reviews, awards, or like, listed. My BEFORE yields next to nothing. Perhaps sources exist in French; Dutch and German are similar to what we have or less. What little I found is: [51] has a mention in passing. I am having trouble machine translating [52] (mirror on ProQuest), but it seems to be another mention in passing - but the album is called "famous"?

Fram (talk) 07:49, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

Redirect to at least preserve the history; there possibly are sources out there in print and/or in non-English but like many of the Bande dessinee entries it doesn't look like anyone will be looking into them. I am sympathetic towards the difficulty in easily finding sources for non-recent, non-American comic sources, but many of the Lucky Luke entries seem indulgent; sampling Category:Lucky Luke albums reveals that most entries are 50% plot, 50% OR.

Honestly, if I had the time I'd suggest a List of Lucky Luke albums that had an episode guide-type format with short summaries and subheadings for redirecting to, which I personally feel is a great way of saving a lot of the content on many abandoned comic pages. But I doubt I'll have time to do so within the foreseeable, and experience has taught me no-one reading AfDs is likely to do anything proactive either. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 08:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BoomboxTestarossa Actually, folks in fiction area have been rescuing stuff, mysef included. User:TompaDompa and @Siroxo have been quite active in recent memory. I am unsure if I'd have time create such a list - not sure what format would be good - but I'd help to merge some entries to it if someone would start it. I agree that many entries from the mentioned category need either improvement or reduction to redirects since, as you say, they are just plot summaries with no indication of reception or significance :( _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:06, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus User:BoomboxTestarossa/List of Lucky Luke albums is a very, very quick and nasty demonstration of what I would personally do, which could well be wrong, and I've just cut & pasted text for the summaries. It would very much be all plot, but it would be limited to one page; the Lucky Luke page is long as it is so housing it there would add to the clutter and likely just get split anyway. This way at least all the plot-heavy stuff would be limited to a single page, which could then be used as a foundation should the editors and/or sources come along to build the section back up. The covers could all go as the page wouldn't justify 50 images (and should any ever be returned to standalone they can be found easily) and the text would wrap better; at a cursory glance the "characters" section is repetition of stuff mentioned in the ~~synopsisesises~~ summaries, and any sort of analysis/notes seem to be uncited at best and OR at worst, so again are probably best cut. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 08:03, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a great idea. I couldn't find enough to "rescue" this individual nominated article, but this is just a great way to move forward. I do think the cover images would still be allowed per
WP:NFCCP, but as an editorial decision I'm fine either way. —siro χ o 23:16, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply
]
Eh, I could go either way on the images... I would feel that a) the page doesn't "deserve" to have 50 images when it would still need so much work, compared to many much better maintained comic articles making do with only one or two and b) it would cause untidiness as it would make the infobox longer than the summaries in some cases. But I'm not going to fight it if other people think otherwise.

Just to be absolutely crystal clear, I'm correct in thinking that publishing order (rather than alphabetical) is the best way to order them, yes? Not sure when I'm going to get the current article I'm working on complete for sure, but hopefully I will be onto it tomorrow. Though if someone does want to just take the text from the draft and do it in the meantime they're more than welcome. TBH I wish I'd thought of it before redirecting all the very similar Valérian and Laureline entries some months ago, but maybe one day I'll have time to rescue those from page histories...

If the infoboxes would take too much vertical space, I agree, let's ditch the images for now. Maybe a single image on only the first infobox would give enough visual context to readers who prefer it?

I am not super familiar with this topic (or Valerian and Laureline for that matter) but if I get some time I can try to help merging all the articles into one.

@Piotrus sorry, not sure if it's because it's late but I'm not really tracking what you mean =/ I just copied the content so far (well, infobox and summaries) and redirected a couple of the pages, sorry if that wasn't the right thing to do. I think I've put merge templates on all the albums, for getting the order right I just followed the 'next' page on each individual article. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 00:28, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BoomboxTestarossa That's fine with me, although someone can revert redirect and requet AfD for each page. I am torn between disliking redirects without discussion as a form of 'stealth deletion' vs what can be seen as wasting folks time here with cases that apepar clear. That said, in the past I've been shown that cases I've considered clear are not always so, and some articles have been rescued when I thought this could not have been done. But with history preserved and this discussion and the list created that effectivley has most content, I think your solution is pretty good. For cases you think some notability could exist based on whatever, a merge notice and/or more AfDs would be fine too. Once again, thank you taking your time and creating the list. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:16, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I was confused. The NAM article shows the 6th (1979, Havana) and 7th (1983 New Delhi), and the only reference to 1982 in the article is the publication date of a source. The article in question here has a very weak source (it's hard to call "a semi-official news agency of the Iranian government" an impartial RS), but I was able to find these two [53] [54] that might add value to the NAM article. I still see no value in this one as a freestanding article. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:01, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have added a paragraph for Baghdad Operation to the NAM article, summarising this fascinating incident and included the new sources. I omitted only the Mehr citation which I just cannot justify as an RS. I kept the dubious shahid-dowran.ir one simply because I can't confirm anything negative about the source itself, even though it certainly carries a highly-partizan tone. If there is someone who reads Persian natively, your input would be invaluable. Google Translate just doesn't cut it for evaluating the quality of a source overall.

Perhaps my nomination is lacking, because I struggle to see how this is any different than people making narratives around Pokemon characters and cannot give a dispassionate assessment. If there is no coverage outside of a walled garden of PIE reconstructionists, it shouldn't be a stand-alone article. And if it is presented as verifiable historical fact, it is inaccurate.

Comment if a bunch of scholars have made up a name and created a body of literature around it, then no matter how bad the scholarship, and even if the bunch of scholars also believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden, and have to be taken back home by understanding policemen when they're found wearing their underpants on their heads in public, we have to report their work. So my question to
Walt Yoder is "Are you saying that this concept doesn't exist in sources, but has been generated by Wikipedian Proto-Indo-European reconstructionists, or are you saying that the concept does exist in sources but is misguided and false, a product of very bad scholarship?". If the former, the article should be deleted, if the latter, it should be kept, but it would be right to add the opposing evaluation of the name, provided that another bunch of scholars have said it's a fraudulent thing.

Delete The sources in the article don't provide evidence of the notability of this reconstructed word. Mallory & Adams 2006 has one sentence on the subject; West 2007 has two sentences, along with some discussion of the cognates of the root word H₂weh₁; and Vassilkov, as far as I can tell, doesn't mention the word at all. The content sourced to Vassilkov appears to be synthesis; and the Etymology section, according to the article author, is AI generated and unverified. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 16:29, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sojourner in the earth: Vassilkov, as far as I can tell, doesn't mention the word at all I agree, Vassilkov does not use the name but he does discuss the topic of the article in some detail, the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European god of wind. Therefore it is significant as a source. Where do you see synthesis derived from Vassilikov? At first glance it looked like normal summary to me. Daranios (talk) 18:38, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see where Vassilkov discusses the god in detail. I see two pieces of relevant information: (1) that the Proto-Slavic *Vey and the Indo-Iranian Vayu may be descendents of the PIE wind god; and (2) that the PIE god "was probably marked by ambivalence", as evidenced by the fact that later wind gods had a dual nature. I don't consider this to be significant coverage. As for the other two sources, Mallory & Adams 2006 doesn't mention a god, and West 2007 only says that the word *H₂weh₁ is of the animate gender, implying an active force.
On your question about the synthesis: there are two sentences in the article cited to this source. The first reads: The Slavic Viy is another possible cognate. Since the source doesn't use the word *H₂weh₁, then of course it doesn't say that Viy is a cognate of it. We might infer that, but it isn't stated. The second sentence is: He is hypothesized to have been linked to life and death through adding and taking breath from people. The source argues that the Indo-Iranian Vayu had this attribute, but it doesn't say the same of the PIE god. It is synthesis to take two distinct claims from the source ("Vayu had the power of life and death", "Vayu is descended from the PIE god") and draw an original conclusion ("The PIE god had the power of life and death"). Now I think about it, though, the article doesn't make this claim in wiki-voice so I suppose it's not technically synth, it's just factually incorrect; it's claiming that the source says something that it doesn't say.
The reason I assumed that the subject of the article was the word and not the god is because there appears to be almost nothing to say about the god. Take the article as it is now; then remove the two sentences quoted above; remove the unsourced AI-generated content; remove the irrelevant information about other gods, remove the misleading sentence Such a deity is attested in most traditions (because the deity is in fact not attested at all); and we are left with (a) an etymology of *H₂weh₁, (b) its cognates, and (c) a claim that this may have been the name of a PIE wind-god (charitably assuming that a source can be found for such a claim, since none of the three existing sources quite make this connection). Sojourner in the earth (talk) 20:18, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Sojourner in the earth: I have changed "cognate" to "equivalent entity" (like in the infobox), to correct this to what Vassilkov is actually saying. Is that better? Vassilkov discusses the opposing scholarly views that the Proto-Indo-European god of wind may be beneficial like Vayu or ambivalent like other wind gods, and why, a his conclusion. So in my view there's indeed something to tell. And I think Such a deity is attested in most traditions is correct, because "such a deity" is not meant not refer to "the god of the wind in Proto-Indo-European mythology", but only to "god of wind". And then it's a direct summary of West's "In most branches of the tradition we find evidence for the personification of the wind or winds, and in some cases for their receipt of religious honours.", who then goes on to list a number of examplary wind gods. So I guess the context/phrasing should be made clearer. Daranios (talk) 10:15, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm reading Vassilkov differently than you, but admittedly I'm new to this subject area. If we grant that Vassilkov provides significant coverage, then that's one source contributing towards notability, but GNG requires in-depth discussion in multiple sources.

I don't have the sources as I'm not in this field at all. I recognise the concept of PIE mythology, and feel that Whoever-it-is the Wind God is a valid article for an encyclopaedia. I do know that people on the linguistic side use the leading asterisk (it has a name that I haven't spent a brain cell to try and remember) to denote a reconstructed word. However, I also know that it makes a remarkably terrible title for an article. I can't believe that there is a reader out there, including those in the field, that would even imagine using that character in their search. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 00:40, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep or merge: I think the nomination is fundamentally flawed: Wikipedia is a

The relevant information in Mallory and Adams is the following (this is in the context of a long list of words related to the weather): The words for "wind", *h2weh1-yus (Lith vejas "wind" and Skt vayu- "wind") and *h2weh1-nt- (e.g. NWels gwynt, Lat ventus, NE wind, Av vata-, Skt vata-, Toch B yente, Hit huwant-, all "wind"), both derive from the verb "to blow".
On your suggestion to merge to Proto-Indo-European mythology#Wind deities: ~~I could support a redirect to that article~~, but not a merge.

I believe Vassilkov does attempt to reconstruct the god (to a degree): He talks about "a Proto-Indo-European god of wind" proposed by Abaev and a "reconstructed Indo-European god of wind, who had no sinister qualities" proposed by Ivanov, who also posited "Basically the Indo-European god was of a heavenly and benevolent nature". (I don't have access to either original publication, that would be interesting.) Vassilkov himself concludes: "it should be noted that even in the earliest Proto-Indo-European mythology, the image of the Wind-god was probably marked by ambivalence, and combined in itself both positive and negative characteristics." Daranios (talk) 11:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes the thesis posits a proto-indo-european god of wind, but does not attempt to name it. It is the identification of the reconstructed PIE word for wind, *H₂weh₁yú with this posited and purely hypothetical god that is the SYNTH here. We are going beyond the sources to say that such a god was called H₂weh₁yú. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:27, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ETA Vassilkov quotes (Ivanov, 1971) which is a Russian language text that I cannot locate, but Vassilkov says more, elsewhere:
The figure of a god, probably the god of death, has, instead of a face and the upper part of the trunk, something resembling a grill. There is now sufficient material to reconstruct the image of the most ancient Indo-Iranian (and possibly Indo-European) god of death - as the god of wind and death. (Vassilkov, 1994:785)

So his thesis appears to be that the most ancient Indo-Iranian god of death is probably derived directly from the Indo-European god of wind and death. If we accept his thesis, we have a god, but we don't have reason to name that god H₂weh₁yú. We do, however, have evidence for the god's image, and that information may be notable for
Indo-European mythology

Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 14:13, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. Now the identified problem, that Wikipedia article went beyond what the sources actually said, has been thankfully been remedied by Austronesier. Now the article puts West and Vassilkov and the rest in perspective. A good reason to put this together is that West does that, too. Not only does he point out "in most branches of the tradition we find evidence for the personification of the wind or winds", but also puts the name analysis under the heading "Wind Gods". However, to avoid any impression that the reconstructed name for wind has to be that of the reconstructed god, even if we don't say that, it's probably better to present that under the heading Proto-Indo-European mythology#Wind deities rather than as a stand-alone article. Again, just as West does. But Vassilkov should be added there as a source, because he provides a worthwhile aspect to the area not yet present there. Daranios (talk) 10:01, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'll reply to this just to try to help the closer. What you argue is that one of the sources here could usefully be employed on
WP:OR. It is a suggestion that the reconstructed PIE word for wind (*H₂weh₁yú) was the name of the PIE god of wind. Again, we do not know there was a god of wind, and if there was, we don't know that the speakers of PIE named him simply "wind". As it happens, the sources are not even unanimous on the spelling of the word! Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:35, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply
]

@Sirfurboy: I am still convinced a merge of the current, reworked version + redirect is the best solution: Neither the current version nor the target claim an identification of the word with the deity beyond what's in the sources any more, so the problem of original research is dealt with. The compact summary of the article by Vassilkov, which is not present at Proto-Indo-European mythology#Wind deities, does fit exactly the subtopic as designated by that heading. So there is something to merge in my view. The word for wind is present there as well (the fact that "the sources are not even unanimous on the spelling" notwithstanding). I think noone has so far requested the removal there (although maybe that's because it's beyond the scope of our discussion here). But to me it makes sense that it is present there, not as a personal opionion, but because West also decided to treat it under the heading "Wind Gods" of his book, too. And as the word is present, it makes sense to have the redirect there. As for the last point, that a connection between the reconstructed word and the reconstructed deity might be implied by such a redirect, even if it is not present at the target: On the one hand, I think that connection will more be made by us, who now have the background of our article here, rather than a reader without any foreknowledge. On the other hand, if preferred, we could point the redirect as an anchor to the word directly rather than the heading "Wind deities", to exclude such an implication.

As you say, similar to West. A little more discussion of actual wind gods in Sanskrit, but again, no identification of a posited PIE wind god called *H₂weh₁yú. This page is going beyond the evidence in positing the name of a PIE wind god where no source claims such a god existed. We have sources for reconstructed words and sources for later attested gods where the names of the gods appear to be derived from the reconstructed word, but no one is saying that there was a wind god called *H₂weh₁yú and thus neither should we.

Comment: "not attested by anyone other than Proto-Indo-European reconstructionists"

This is how historical linguistics works. Who else would be constructing PIE? PIE is unattested but is still a very serious topic of research. I don't have enough knowledge on PIE itself to want to weigh in on this specific article, but I do worry this AFD is being done in a vacuum with understanding the nature of how linguistic reconstructions work and why and how they are considered valid.
It is a modern creation being fraudulently passed off

If this is about PIE reconstructions, no, this isn't the case. This is a major, serious field of historical linguistics and is not even vaguely fringe. If this is about this specific article then I think we need to get some PIE experts to weigh in, because I think there's a risk of something worthwhile being deleted by those unfamiliar with PIE and Indo-European Mythology.

Comment. The PIE word for 'wind' is reconstructed for the weather phenomenon. As for a possible deity of winds, its name seems to be reconstructed from the Avestan and Indic deities, and no one else. Also, there is the problem of the wind/air gods in the daughter languages whose names are not cognates to the Indic/Avestan ones, making this PIE wind god sketchy at best.

Comment I think it would also be worthwhile to take a look at
WP:Original Research
. As I dig through more and more of their articles about PIE deities, I continue to only find the cited sources having a small, doubtful, reconstruction at best, or not mentioning what they are being cited for at worst.

Many mainstream scholars in Indo European linguistics (such as Anthony, Mallory and Adams, Fortson) will tell you that reconstructing more than
Dyēus is putting yourself in murky waters, one where personal ideology sometimes has more influence than actual science. I implore other editors to take a look at these articles, just to make sure I'm not going crazy. JungleEntity (talk) 17:57, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

You are not going crazy. I already had taken a look at these. I think they are all linked from
List of Proto-Indo-European deities, but I am a little daunted by the process here. I believe there is a means to nominate multiple pages, but I have not used it. In any case, to do it diligently, we need to check the references on each, and that might need indivdual nominations. As you say, Dyḗus ph₂tḗr would likely be a keep. The un-named smith god doesn't make the dubious linguistic assertion of others. Ḱérberos might be better as a redirect etc. It's quite a lot of work. I hope to have more time in a week or so. Perhaps I will try nominating these at that time. In the meantime I will watchlist the lot in case anyone else wants to do so. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:48, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

Comment I originally closed this discussion with this comment:

The result was merge‎ to Proto-Indo-European mythology#Wind deities. This discussion didn't really require a relisting but when I first read it over, it required some time to digest alll of the comments on a subject that I'm unfamiliar with. I think this is a closure that editors can be satisfied with. If not, then I guess I can see you at Deletion Review.

But my closure was challenged on my talk page with a compelling argument so I have undone the Merge and will leave this discussion for another closer to handle as apparently, even though I thoroughly reviewed all of the comments here, I didn't get deep enough into the weeds to assess the fundamental problems with this article. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:35, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Mallory & Adams mentions the reconstructed PIE word(s). West mentions it (in somewhat different form) and relates it to words in other languages which in some cases can mean divine powers. Neither reconstruct that the PIE word itself meant a deity or deities, or trace the gods of different traditions back to a reconstructed common origin. Vassilkov, who doesn't mention the word but does have relevant material, seems ambivalent and I'm not really sure what to make of it (conclusion: "Even if Abaev's hypothesis is considered proven, we still face the problem: does the interrelation between Vayu and Viy imply a parallel development from a common Indo-European source, or it is to be traced back to Indo-Iranian cultural influence on Slavic mythology?"). Overall it's pretty scant material to work with for an article.
On the question of alternatives, I wouldn't be too upset with a redirect, if it remains mentioned at Proto-Indo-European mythology#Wind deities: the redirect's existence by itself doesn't imply we're saying that H₂weh₁yú is a deity. It would be a redirect because here's the one place in the encyclopedia where you'll find anything about what you just searched (and if you read that one place, it should only say what's verifiable about it). Mostly, though, I just think it's an unlikely search term so that's why I'd go with delete. Adumbrativus (talk) 03:41, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article, as written, has issues with

Comment the fact that the Polish wikipedia is having a discussion about this subject need not influence us. And if I'm understanding correctly, we're considering deleting this because its nominator would rather it weren't deleted at the Polish wp, which seems a strange situation. I have no strong views either way, but would be inclined to keep the article unless anyone really objects. The Hebrew bible is undoubtedly one of the most influential books ever written, with a couple of thousand years of proven enduring interest; I'd rather have stubs saying what little is to be said about its minor characters than fill WP with fancruft on minor characters in TV shows and computer games (yup, other-stuff-exists argument!).

No, it is not a legitimate spinout. It's a mess of content that lacks proper sourcing.

This cannot be improved, because it wasn't constructed even semi-properly in the first place. It would have to be replaced entirely.

You are correct that this is not the way things should be done—this should never have been created in the first place.

You say that this is a major historical topic. I challenge you to provide sources on the overarching topic—Trams in popular culture—to back that up.

This, exactly. The problem here, and in many of these "in popular culture" spinout lists, is that when editors realized that the content should not be in an article, it should have just been removed from the article. Instead, the problem was just kicked down the road by simply moving it, which does not actually solve the problem, so here we are several years later with an AFD. Rorshacma (talk) 18:31, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this AfD is a mess because people are getting confused about why this list exists. There are two different reasons for budding off an article of this sort: (1) the topic is notable, sources discussing it independently; (2) some other article on a notable topic had a subsection that got too big. Many delete-voters here are deleting on the basis that the topic isn't discussed as a subject in sources, which is true. But our article on Trams has no "in popular culture" section because the section got too big and was split out to here. So really we're in a cat-flap situation (the cat that is In wants to be Out, while the cat that is Out wants to be In...). The cat can go out of the cat-flap by deleting this article and recreating an in-popular-culture section in Tram, and then that section will be too big, so it will have to be split out, and the cat will want to come back in again. Ultimately this is a clean-up situation, not really a deletion. The objection to the list is it contains a load of really tenuous stuff that shouldn't be there, and the same objection will exist if it's merged. So really, we would be spending our time better if we started to sort out the material rather than debating where to put it, as a whole. Elemimele (talk) 06:09, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The error was made at the start: instead of splitting off uncited and incongruous information to a new page, it should've been trimmed out. The "in fiction/culture" section wouldn't be this big if it contained 18 entries. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 08:11, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To add to this, not a single entry on the list has an appropriate source. Cleaning this up would thus be indistinguishable from deleting it—there would be nothing left. This should be obvious to anybody who has ever written a proper article on a topic like this. TompaDompa (talk) 10:16, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - even if this didn't just read as a list of tram sightings without much substance, the fact that most of the facts listed in the article are completely uncited is a bad sign. If a good article on this topic is possible, I very highly doubt this version of the article has much worth salvaging.

Delete This shouldn't be this hard. The article is mostly unsourced, the few sources that do exist are incidental mentions, there's a citation to someone's resume, precisely zero analysis or thematic coherence is presented, let alone cited, and it's full of unencyclopedic cruft like "it's just one block from Southern Cross railway station." Come on. As others have said, if anyone has reliable sources that talk about trams' relevance in mass culture, present them. I don't see a single one. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:59, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm far from convinced that Trams feature sufficiently in popular culture to justify this article or a substantial section in Tram, but I'm completely, utterly, gobsmacked how many people can keep a straight face and say that there isn't a single referenced source about trams in mass culture, in the face of A Streetcar Named Desire, the most famous play of probably the most famous US playwright, one of the most performed plays ever written, adapted for film, opera, ballet and TV, and written about extensively - and clearly using a tram motif at some level. I mean, yes, the tram's not super-critical to the plot, but if it were really so incidental, the makers of the 1951 film could have rebranded it as "A bus service named desire", but they didn't. I don't care whether this article is kept, deleted, merged or whatever but let's at least acknowledge that there is one notable instance of trams in popular culture with strong sourcing. Elemimele (talk) 16:22, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - There is a big difference between a specific instance of a notable example, and the topic, as a whole, being notable. Per
WP:LISTN, for a stand alone list, there must be sources that discuss the topic, in this case "trams in popular culture", as a group or set, and that is the argument that is being made here. I don't think that anyone has said that there is absolutely no notable example of a tram in a piece of popular culture, and a few comments have even mentioned that any truly notable example should be described on the main article. Its the lack of reliable sources that discuss "trams in popular culture" as a group or set that is missing here. Rorshacma (talk) 18:31, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply
]
That's the whole point, Rorshacma, this was never intended as a notable-topic article, it was only ever an overflow from Tram, in the same way that we move a singer's discography out when it gets too big. We do this even if no one has ever written about the singer's discography as a subject. But in this case it was a mess before it was moved out, and therefore remains a mess now. It should have remained in Tram as a "Trams in popular culture" section but been trimmed only to those instances that are genuinely writtten-about as trams in media that count as popular culture. And if that means only a streetcar named desire (which will be a very short mention as we have a full article for those who are interested) then so be it.

As mentioned above, the proper action would have been to just remove the section entirely from the parent article. Even if there are truly notable examples, the sourcing and format of the "in popular culture" section of the article before the split was entirely improper and
WP:MOS. Trimming would not have solved the issue, the entire section needed to have been removed and, if properly sourced, rewritten from scratch. But, instead it was just moved so we wound up with a terribly sourced list of trivia on a subject that does not pass the notability guidelines for stand alone lists that we have to deal with now. Even the singular example of A Streetcar Named Desire listed here does not actually contain any kind of sourced information - it is literally just "this thing exists" mentioned three times. That kind of content would have been useless to keep in the article after a trim, and would be useless to try to merge back now. Any kind of genuine coverage on the topic in the main Tram article will need to be created from scratch, not taken from this. Rorshacma (talk) 14:47, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

I haven't picked it out yet. I'd say there's a level of subjectivity here. While of course a film or movie or book reviewer commenting on the importance or symbolism of the tram in whichever work of art would be best, it's not impossible that the work itself could stand. For example, the streetcars in Who Framed Roger Rabbit are a plot point, part of the villain's motives, but the fact that they are streetcars and not something else isn't.

Delete - Clear policy reasons for delete are given in the nomination, and keeps that assert too many policies are cited are not exactly rebutting the case! What is missing from the keep arguments is any suggestion that trams in popular culture are an encyclopaedic subject, treated as a whole. They are not. Yes it is spun out of the trams article, but spinning out a problematic section might improve the trams article but it leaves a page whose content is entirely at the whim of editors, who can add entries about cars stuck in tram tracks or places that happen to be called tramway, but no doubt omits huge swathes of other more likely mentions of trams all over the world. I can think of several missing off th etop of my head, but that is the problem. If I and other editors just add a bunch of stuff they think about, this is not an encyclopaedic subject. It is an indiscriminate synthesis of original research. To be clear, I oppose merge back into the trams article. The policy reasons for deletion are the same as the policy reasons for exclusion of the section from that article. This is not an encyclopaedic subject. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:39, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comment. This probably should have been kept before the relisting per it being a spinout from another page. Put it back where it was if deletion-minded editors have a problem now. And per my essay
WP:RULEOFTHUMB, which discusses that if a solid keep argument is present and agreed on by several long-time editors, then that argument should automatically prevail. Many relistings, I haven't checked this one, are done at a rapid pace without the relister really giving the discussion the full reading needed to make a complete mental map of the various points. This can be checked by looking at the times on the edit history of the relisters/closers. Bottom line: There are many good faith editors who should not be doing closes or relistings, and if a discussion has a valid keep argument then it should be kept (there should be no such thing as borderline consensus, a tough call - if a discussion is a close call then the article should be kept).

You have already made your !vote, but this comment simply re-asserts that we should ignore all the policy reasons why this kind of OR should not be on Wikipedia and keep it because a few long term editors say it would be nice to have. Your essay is not policy and in 404 AfDs you have participated, you have never once ever voted delete (nor even redirect) for anything.

~~My vote was before the relisting,~~ commenting after a relist is allowed mainly because the ultimate closer should grab a drink, sit in a nice chair, and read the entire discussion as a whole. But looking at times of closes and edits, many seldom do. And nice to have? Way to deflect and lessen editors' opinions. A redirect is a delete-in-disguise (you don't know that?). Read my stats again, I often vote delete (once) or redirect (five times! probably more than I should have). The rule of thumb should be tattooed on closers hands, so they know where to find it.

Your essay has precisely zero bearing on this AfD, as it is written from a radical inclusionist perspective not consistent with policy or with accepted practice at AfD.

Sorry, but I’m fully in agreement with Trains-etc. here.

Only 10 times? Then I was unclear. For the same reason as legal "proven beyond a reasonable doubt" applies in the judicial world, my point is that if there is a logical keep argument that is clear enough to be seriously considered as a major point-of-view in the discussion then the article automatically has enough merit to stay. This is not against policy, please read the policy
some random essay which on its face has no policy merit. But some editors believe that if a deletion discussion has a logical keep argument embedded within it, and going the other way actually harms the project by not maintaining the collection of topics related to that article, IAR should automatically take precedence. It is policy, not opinion, and for good reason. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:16, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

Please keep this page. His connection to Harry Truman goes beyond being his grandson.
The subject is very notable by virtue of being the child of a child of a US President, particularly that one.

He is the child of 2 very well known and influential individuals, either of whom would qualify him to have a Wikipedia page.

He wrote two books, each is about Harry Truman and others connected to him.

He has an oral account on the following site about his grandfather: https://themoth.org/stories/clifton-truman-daniel

He has knowingly presented himself to the public.

According to the wiki page on him "he is Director of Public Relations for Truman College, one of the seven City Colleges of Chicago."

He has not attempted to remain out of public attention.

The nominator deleted a number of articles of notable presidential relatives which were rescued (thank heaven and Sanger for watchlists and contribution history pages). The admin should, of course, voluntarily refrain from taking it upon themselves to unilaterally remove any further articles (mainly because it has been shown in a number of recent RfD's that their judgement about these pages may be incorrect) but your presence on Wikipedia, and on this RfD, shows your value to the project. Stay warm, up north, Coldupnorth, and please come back now and then. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:45, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Coldupnorth: I'm sorry to hear that my actions affected you in that way. But as you have to know, you could have opened a discussion on my talk page, asked for a third opinion, or taken any number of other actions should you have so chosen... Wikipedia's fundamental ethos is in discussions between editors who disagree and come to a consensus decision.

The ed17, I didn't know about either of those nominations. What I was talking about was your removal of articles without discussion, just gone. There your recent record isn't so good. If I knew about Andrew Johnson's dad maybe I would have commented, I don't look at the list of deletion attempts, there are so many daily. It's a dark corner of Wikipedia, and often only ventured into when something pops up on my watchlist. Maybe just leave presidential relatives alone? By the way, Adali Stevenson wasn't a U.S. president, so his grandson wasn't in that realm and I know nothing about him. Met his dad though, the IIIrd, and knew several people who worked closely with him on a project. Randy Kryn (talk) 22:21, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

People leave wikipedia for all sorts of reasons, I was reading the retirement comment on Coldupnorth's page and concluded "The ed17" must be 17 years old, and then remembered I've worked with/around Ed on stuff like 10 years ago, and slashed a decade off my own age due to this exciting discovery of reverse aging. No matter what we do with these presidential relations articles, please no one burst that bubble for me.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 19:01, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Essentially I agree with the points Maile makes, its a very common carryover for an American president to generate enough coverage to support articles on key family members. Thus, we've had this article for 16 years.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 14:42, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notable for winning Survivor: Philippines. Her finishing sixth in Survivor: Winners at War may not be notable after all, despite using a Hidden Immunity Idol to nullify votes against her and to get Sandra Diaz-Twine eliminated. I'm unsure whether her onscreen relationships are worth writing about her.
Furthermore, her work as a "sex therapist" or psychologist or any other may not be notable after all. In other words, not notable as such, despite continuing

Notably, this article was created with the edit summary "as per precedent with past winners of survivor", which is not the basis upon which he judge notability or the need for independent articles, needless to say.

Keep. Not seeing any policy-based rationale for deletion here, and nom doesn't seem to have done even a perfunctory
WP:WELLKNOWN for BLP purposes. I would assume there are more as that's just when I got tired of searching. This seems to meet the GNG threshold of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, where "significant coverage" requires that no original research is needed to extract the content. And while these sources mostly aren't optimal for article-building, there are plenty of non-independent sources to fill in non-controversial biographical information. -- Visviva (talk) 02:18, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply

For the NY Post,
its RSP entry states that there is consensus that the New York Post is generally unreliable for factual reporting especially with regard to politics..., but it excepts sports reporting. My reading is that in this case, as it's neither politics or sports reporting, it is still generally unreliable. Hence, unless I am missing something, I'm not sure where you got that there's "no consensus" on RSP. (However, I have no strong opinion on the NY Press source and am not making a !vote now.) Thanks.

Draft I'm not opposed to drafting the article. @Mushy Yank: I'm not sure how much "attracted attention" you're talking about? I mean a few websites reported that Netflix cancelled two completed films (this being one of them). No reason why and no plan to sell to other distributors were disclosed. If nothing comes out of it, we can always add a sentence about the unreleased film on the actor's pages.Mike Allen 21:16, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How much? Well, roughly 100 articles (in various languages) come out when you google '"The Inheritance" Brugués Netflix -wikipedia" (sites of various quality, obviously). Some sources on the page deal with the production, other sources with Netflix's decision. As to why Netflix decided to "drop" the film, this source in French said it was to sell it)). Many sources insist filming has been completed (there's another Inheritance film on Netflix, though, so it takes time to explore). Redirect could be OK but keeping the article because the film failed to be released so far and that it attracted "some" attention (notable failure being the/one reason to consider an unreleased film notable, as you know) would not shock me either. -My, oh my!

Sources are definitely slim online. I had never heard of Zozolala in connection with the 2000s webcomic movement. However, I am seeing a bunch of mentions in Google Books. I expect there might be a significant chunk of legacy information on this subject, not online. Can't confirm yet either way. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 07:01, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nothing in the article suggests notability is met. BEFORE is, realistically, recommended but not required. We can quibble on this but to keep this short, I just did my BEFORE and found nothing. (I'd certainly encourage the nom to do this in the future and report to us here, to avoid procedural complains). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:09, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nominator is correct that this does not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. The article has been completely unsourced since it was created in 2007. My searches have not found any usable sources. Elspea756 (talk) 13:00, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (selectively and without prejudice) to list of magazines in the Netherlands. Yet another case of excessive fragmentation. Can be thickened to "Zozolala (1982–2011), comics magazine[61]", delinking the title and organizing the ref details. There is more on Delpher and Google Books. gidonb (talk) 20:28, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also a word on the notability question. The publisher is notable, however we do not have an article on that. The magazine is hard to say, as much of it was published during the lull years (between current newspaper website and national archive coverage). My solution works well regardless of the answer to this question. gidonb (talk) 14:21, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge a small amount to
WP:V through Google Books. I concur with gidonb's phrasing "excessive fragmentation", merging is a good solution to such issues. —siro χ o 20:39, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

Keep - I found [62], [63] (""The eccentric left" has come to make a name for itself in the North. Because in the South, this 23-year-old young man, born in Corsica, trained in Bastia, is referenced. If he could not win in Ligue 2 with Bastia (a few games, 1 goal), he has bounced back in the last two seasons with Gazélec d'Ajaccio. Foued Kahlaoui thus scored 9 goals in 2007-2008 and above all 14, this season, in the CFA. This boy, whose surname also hints at Moroccan origins, is leaving Corsica for the first time"), [64], [65], [66], [67] ("He took charge of the E3 team, and since then has made them progress with great regularity. His team is playing this season in Juniors D3, with a very promising first round, finishing 3rd and having the best attack with 77 goals scored."), [68], among many more French sources. Clealyr significant figure in French and Swiss lower league football who has Ligue 2, one of best second tiers in the world, experience. Article needs improvement, not deletion.

Keep per sources above which show notability. Giant Snowman 18:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails GNG with a lack of significant coverage. Once again interviews (tunisie-foot), articles from club websites (he played for and managed Signal) and routine coverage such as being fired are being passed off as sigcov. Clearly some scrub that somehow played in Ligue 2 before finding his natural level in the regional amateur divisions of France and Switzerland. Dougal18 (talk) 14:46, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't merely "interviews" and "routine coverage such as being fired", I literally cited secondary coverage above. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 18:18, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator and Dougal18 as there is no in-depth secondary coverage in reliable sources (only one lejsl.fr article comes close). My favorite bit from the coverage linked above is this: Personne ne connaissait Foued Kahlaoui, pas même la plupart de ses futurs équipiers. Not exactly an endorsement of his notability ;) Jogurney (talk) 14:03, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agreed with above that the first lejsl.fr article (what even is the second piece??) is the only source that approaches SIGCOV, and that is not enough to meet GNG, especially when so many of the sentences in the piece are redundant or unencyclopedic fluff. Maville is a transfer report. Tunisie-foot is a pure Q&A interview (why link it at all?). Proxifoot has a passing mention in routine transaction news. Signal is his club website. TDG has a single quote from him. These are not enough for GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 23:49, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, concur with the inadequacy of sources cited above. Looking through the coverage, it is nothing more than a series of interviews and routine announcements filled with puffery that do not equal a GNG pass. Devonian Wombat (talk) 01:14, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've found a couple more interviews and transfer coverage of him from national magazines, which is the extent I can do with basic internet searches. While my new sources don't meet GNG (at least this brief bit of news could be used to flesh out the article with prose) I think he's both notable enough as a footballer - dozens of professional games - and has generated enough requisite secondary coverage, including at least one
WP:GNG-qualifying source, that someone could write a decent, notable stub about him. In terms of overall notability, though, he's right on the line. SportingFlyer T·C 20:04, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply
]
But what is the GNG-qualifying source? I can't find one nor has anyone identified one. Jogurney (talk) 20:32, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The first one Paul Vaurie linked is fine by my assessment. The Maville article is transfer announcement but also covers him decently enough. I think we can keep on both of those alone, and then there are additional JSL mentions which we could write a start-class article on. SportingFlyer T·C 20:54, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Paul Vaurie that the JSL source is not adequate to establish SIGCOV, but I thank you for putting forward a policy-based argument in favor of keep. Jogurney (talk) 22:01, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Of the eight sources currently listed at the article, three might constitute significant coverage: The first Le JSL article, the Dunkerque source, and maybe the Signal FC source. The interview from Signal FC includes an extremely concise biography and is not independent, as it seems he was coaching there at the time, so it doesn't count towards the GNG. The remaining sources, in my view, do not constitute significant coverage, as they only briefly mention Kahlaoui. Same goes for the source brought in by SportingFlyer. Since it doesn't seem there is enough information to write a thorough article that goes beyond simply where he played (
WP:NOTDATABASE
), I think deletion is appropriate.

WP:SPORTBASIC says that "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. Meeting this requirement alone does not indicate notability, but it does indicate that there are likely sufficient sources to merit a stand-alone article." This contradicts my above reasoning, but the thorough searching done in the course of this discussion has convinced me that there are in fact not "sufficient sources to merit a stand-alone article". Thus, I still think deletion is most appropriate. Toadspike (talk) 21:45, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

I completely disagree - there's easily enough here to write a start-class article. SportingFlyer T·C 22:14, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep‎. Personally, I don't care for articles like this on person's whose notability is because they are wealthy. But three reliable sources should be sufficient to justify a person's notability. I think there is some promotional language in this article that could be toned down. For example, I don't think being a guest at the While House is a really strong indicator of notability. But that's my point of view and doesn't affect this closure. Liz ^{Read!

Keep 1) The article was accepted by an AFC reviewer just a week back. How can an article which was reviewed at AFC needs to be deleted in just seven days? If there are any issues with the article then discuss on its talk page or fix it directly rather than nominating it multiple times for speedy deletion or AFD. 2) The subject is extensively covered by Indian National Media - Times of India, Economic Times, Indian Express, The Hindu, NDTV, Forbes and also by some International Media - Aljazeera, Bloomberg, Forbes and South China Morning Post. All of the aforementioned media are considered as reliable as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources . The article has more than 25 such sources which are considered as reliable at Wikipedia. Himalayan7914 (talk) 15:20, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Like i said only Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, Forbes, China Morning Post are listed as reliable source on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, Economic Times, Indian Express, The Hindu, NDTV, do not appear on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources list, there is no way of knowing if Economic Times, Indian Express, The Hindu, NDTV are reliable enough. Untamed1910 (talk) 19:04, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @Untamed1910 , I think you haven't gone through the entire list properly. The Indian Express and The Hindu are also mentioned as most reliable (in the green legend) in the list. The article also has many more sources from the most reliable medias and today I have added a few more. I am listing down all the sources from the article by Most Reliable Media below for better understanding:

Al Jazeera - [69]

Bloomberg - [70] [71]

Barrons (Wall Street Journal) - [72]

Forbes - [73] [74] [75] [76] [77] [78]

Indian Express - [79] [80] [81]

South China Morning Post - [82] [83]

The New York Times - [84]

The Hindu - [85] [86] [87]

Yahoo Finance - [88]

There are many more such coverages from Indian National and Regional media from yellow legend section (no consensus on the reliability) too but they are considered as reputed here in India. However, I think the above coverages from the Most Reliable medias are more than sufficient to qualify for a Wikipedia article. Himalayan7914 (talk) 06:37, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Majority of sources shared are nothing more than interviews where there is no independent comment of a journalist. Example: Aljazeera, Bloomberg, barrons, forbes, Forbes published by outsider, interview, ForbesIndia Interview again, Story of non notable company which is already been deleted multiple times , Interview PTI News, PR Material published on various news, PR Newswire, again interview Lordofhunter (talk) 10:31, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
