The result was Speedy keep. Not just per

WP:SNOW, but nominating at the midst of the recent controversy—which is a bad look for him—is not a great look for Wikipedia (i.e. might comes across as retaliatory). El_C 22:18, 16 August 2023 (UTC)‎[reply

what does that have to do with the keep message? Sebbog13 (talk) 17:26, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think the more appropriate question is what does the rest of what was posted after the keep itself has to do with the article in question. Both the responses by Siroxo and ElijahPepe were applicable. Picard's Facepalm (talk) 18:09, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep All things considered this seems to be a rather major and well established youtube channel host. I do however feel that the article needs to be cleaned up with additional focus on his channel ("Linus Tech Tips"). Articles such as
    TheNeedleDrop or Philip DeFranco may serve as good comparisons for the scope of articles that cover large-but-not-massive youtubers. A MINOTAUR (talk) 04:00, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

NoteThere is extensive focus on his/his company's numerous YT channels and company in Linus Media Group. Shifting that focus over to the article centered around him would be a mistake, extend well beyond the scope of the individual, and would take away from the LMG article. I would urge against this.

  • Delete Only two sources that mention Sebastian specifically are a NYT and a Kotaku article. Most other sources are primary, which does not suggest independent notability.Cortador (talk) 11:29, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There's also other sources, such as an Inc. Magazine article. If anything, this wiki article just needs to be expanded/TLC. I can find references to Linus in BBC, The Verge, Arstechnica, CNN and a few other news websites (prior to 2023). Seems to meed NBIO to me. I think a cleanup template message is more appropriate (too many primary sources, expansion, etc) is more appropriate. If the primary host and creator of the multiple Linus Media Group channels isn't notable enough, then I feel like it sets a precedent for more AfDs for other notable content creators across Wikipedia. Lightcrowd (talk) 12:04, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, I just wanted to mention this nomination may (or may not, I do not intent to accuse people) be influenced by a recent controversy and some YouTube & Reddit drama involving the subject's behaviour (The gist of this drama is that he made huge blunders in a video about a startup's prototype and then bashed the startup and refused to fix the errors, auctioned off the prototype without permission, has a history of making basic mistakes in his videos, and recently a former employee has alleged mistreatment at this guy's company). So I would suggest that some admins and more experienced editors be on the look-out for randos commenting here without any other contribs. Tube·of·Light 12:38, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The original nomination was over 7 years ago, and Linus' notoriety has certainly only increased since then. Yes - the sourcing lends itself to not being the highest quality article, but not at all warrants an AfD nomination, and can likely and rather easily be fixed such as Lightcrowd mentioned above. In reality, this AfD is quite possibly retaliatory in nature due to recent controversies. If there were a way to nominate an AfD for deletion - this nomination would be a prime candidate.

  • Keep. Are you kidding me? Linus Sebastian is severely notable as a person, he's been talked about in mainstream publications including the New York Times and The Verge, and this article has existed for years. This AfD is in my opinion a joke. Doesn't help that it was made after the Gamers Nexus controversy as well, making me think that there is some sort of ulterior motive behind this AfD, to let out some internal anger re: said controversy. I'm voting Keep purely because this AfD comes off as nothing but a joke as well as Linus just being severely notable as an individual. -

]

KEEP - this single stands out as one of only 2 ever released exclusively in Japan. The discography is also incomplete without it. Also, there is an article and a discog template entry for
Know Our B-Sides EP should both be kept. This track isn't some unofficial, non-authorized 12" whitelabel, it's an officially released single - but according to some Wikipedians, it doesn't count because it was only released in Japan. Should we remove the tracklistings of the Japanese album versions because they don't count too? Wikipedia specifically aims to not solely focus on the English speaking world as reiterated in . Finally, as per Wikipedia:Notability (music)
, "Specific to recordings, a recording may be notable if it meets at least one of these criteria: The recording has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it.". This has been satisfied because it appears on reputable Japanese sites. Furthermore, "the recording has appeared on any country's music chart". This single has, so it has satisfied two conditions where only one is required for notability.
Finally, @Muhandes: stated above "...just as it didn't satisfy it in 2012, when all relevant material was merged into Manic Street Preachers discography.". Why are you making statements that aren't true? None of this article was merged into the above, other than the title of the EP and the year. Your point is null and void because it's just not true Apeholder (talk) 16:04, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@
WP:NALBUM that you keep referring to: "That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article." By this logic, none of their singles should be included on Wikipedia. Also, I have read the First deletion discussion you referenced, but again nobody was able to describe why this article should be deleted but that the rest are notable enough to keep. One person even says "I Googled it and couldn't find much". It's a Japanese only release and Google shows you English articles! Of COURSE they wouldn't find much! There are also far more references to notability for this release than most other Manics articles. The release is notable enough to be included on WP as any others are, and it does not make sense having an incomplete discography on here because someone is being over-zealous when it comes to interpreting WP guidelines. I would love to hear an explanation. If this can be satisfied, then yes the article should be deleted.Apeholder (talk) 17:31, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply

Further Away shows this EXACT type of article exists already, not similar or totally unrelated as your example shows, but the EXACT same. The fact you offered this as a counter argument suggests you are either being very disingenuous or don't know the first thing about the subject matter. Also, have you noticed how I'm giving you extensive replies, and yours are pretty much one-liners with stuff that's not even relevant? So far you have said things that are clearly false and other things totally unrelated.Apeholder (talk) 18:22, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply

As I hadn't heard of the term "zero world government" before, and I noticed the single cited source in this article didn't mention it, I looked into it on Google Scholar. This search only turned up 3 results for the term, none of which go into further depth on it than a definition.[2] On the other hand, the other leading term "governance without government" (which already has its own article) turned up 14,500 results,[3] while the term "governance beyond the nation state" turned up 2,110.[4] As there appears to be no substantial coverage in reliable services of the term "zero world government", I propose this be deleted and any (little) relevant information from this article merged into the article on governance without government.

I tried draftifying the article only to find out that it was too old. My rationale was that the subject isn't fully notable enough per sources. The sources in the article are only her agency and the (which only verifies work but does not establish notability) and a press release from the brand Hugo Boss. The Vogue source is the image from her walking the runway for a notable fashion house but like I said before that only verifies work rather than showing notability as if she had been chosen for one of their 'Top X models of the season" articles or if they did an article about herself.

Actually yes. It is common for new sexual or sexuality related articles to be the subject of speedy delete requests. It does not fit the criteria for speedy deletion. Wikipedia policy is to rather try and improve articles. If something isn't sourced then add a source, if an article is lacking then tag it appropriately so it gets more attention and only remove dubious statements, if it's not large enough for its own article then include it in others.

your source 1, singaporelawwatch has Copyright 2023 by Singapore Academy of Law which is the parent organisation thus not independent, 2 and 5 are from the singapore academy of law journal which is published the singapore academy of law, source 3, 6 and 7 are mentions thus not SIGCOV required for notability and your 8 is a brief paragraph.

WP:NORG is met as they are a mix of mentions and non-independent coverage. Lavalizard101 (talk) 15:53, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

I do not agree with your analysis of source independence. See
WP:ORGIND and WP:Independent sources. The fact that SAL is the parent organisation of the SMC does not ipso facto make the SAL Journal dependent on the SMC. The SAL Journal is a peer-reviewed academic journal that is remotely operated from the SMC. To claim dependence here would be like saying that, since Conde Nast owns both Bon Appetit and The New Yorker, The New Yorker's coverage of BA is always non-independent. You need to show how the coverage of SMC in the sources you claim are "non-independent" are actually as such; to my mind, they are factual, in themselves show how the SMC is notable, and do not demonstrate any undue attention given.

  • Redirect to the associated census district 23 - please see the very lengthy station-by-station analysis of stations and associated “towns” on the railroad to Hudson’s Bay that I posted previously at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Silcox station. I spent hours researching this points along this line. This location is a signpost in the middle of deep boreal forest and bogs. There’s no town. It’s many kilometers from any settlement. The flag stop serves the occasional canoeist or trapper. Look at it on satellite imagery and you can see there was never anything there.

A. B., I'm not sure I follow the logic of redirecting a rail point to a census district. –dlthewave 03:00, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is or was a railroad station article that should have been redirected to our article about the Winnipeg to Churchill train. (I’m on the road and using our awful mobile editor, so it’s hard to type here and check the status of the O’Day station article). There were a bunch of these “station” articles generated for signposts.
Then there town articles created for each signpost “station”. So far, those town articles that have been redirected have been redirected to the census division.
This is the O’Day “town” article.
All these articles are problematic nullities - stories of imaginary towns and railroad stations.
I’m flexible with how we get rid of them - redirect to the census division, railroad line, or train. Or, just delete outright.
I appreciate your work on this problem.
A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 03:20, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My concern with the town articles is that there's no "town" source; someone took the same railway point entry and created both a town and railroad station article for each one. I'm flexible on the outcome as well, but I think they should be treated as duplicate railway points rather than towns/communities. Safe travels - I'll try not to bother you with anything too complicated! –dlthewave 03:43, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The station should be redirected to the article for the train.

I don't believe that the location and station are separate entities to be directed to different targets. They use the exact same sources (Geographical Names Data Base and VIA Rail) which only mention the rail point/station. I think that these are all duplicates that should be redirected to the railroad if not deleted outright. –dlthewave 14:38, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I'm finding no significant coverage or reviews on the book in English sources. Its possible that there may have been greater coverage in French sources, but I did notice that the French Wikipedia also does not have a stand alone article for this book, and merely redirects to the author's page where the book is covered as part of her biography. I'll hold off on making an "official' recommendation for deletion in case any editors that can read French are able to find any reviews/sources, but if not, I agree with A MINOTAUR that deletion and then adding a hatnote to The Tie That Binds (novel) to direct readers to Vanessa Duriès would be the best option.

  • Redirect (or selectively merge) to glossary of poker terms. Doesn't really need more than a paragraph. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:12, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Imo it probably needs at least 2 or 3. The nuts, absolute nuts, and current nuts would all need to be covered. A bit about how they are each played and the etymology should also be there given we have plenty of RSes that cover those topics... that's going to be more than a paragraph... Hobit (talk) 21:30, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Apologies in advance, I don't mean to BLUDGEON, but I'm truly confused by the direction this discussion has gone at this point. I refer to articles like Check (chess) or Checkmate, which are reasonable analogues in chess. Those could be redirected to a glossary, and those rely on guides and even provide a small amount of guidance as is necessary for understanding of the concept. But we recognize these concepts as being notable in their own right such that a mere glossary entry would not do them service. This concept has been a foundational aspect of poker for decades, and is constantly referenced in many forms of literature related to poker. You'll rarely find a poker broadcast without the announcers mentioning the concept. Beyond what folks above have mentioned about in-depth analysis beyond what a guide would offer, the term and concept are both analyzed beyond the game, and beyond poker culture itself, for example:
  • Here's a cultural analysis of the terms influence at poker tables [21]
  • Here's a text that explains the concept in-depth, and then uses the concept to analyze public policy decisions [22]
Even within the game aspect of Poker, there's also substantial disagreement in how to play the nuts -- when to bet or raise, and how much. (just one quick example from proquest [23]) We can provide tertiary coverage of this concept highlighting the disagreement among professionals and those who have analyzed the game, beyond what glossary entry could accomplish. If it seems like I've only provided a handful of sources in this discussion, I apologize, I have yet to conduct an exhaustive search for sources, because it's infeasible given how many reliable sources exist for the subject.
I cannot see how we'd be improving the state of Wikipedia by redirecting this article.
siroχo 18:19, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As a counterpoint - considering I can't access those sources apart from the abstract, where the term is not used at all in either article - a Google Scholar search brings up precious little about the term, about 16 hits when adding the word poker, mostly definitional, excluding one about plywood. Considering the discussion is about whether this should have a stand-alone page, that it's at the moment completely definitional, and fits neatly into a glossary of poker terms, I see no great loss from redirecting this.

Perhaps this is a case for

  • Comment I don't think comparing this to entries like Check (chess) or Checkmate is useful, because both of those have extended use outside chess, even though their meaning derives from the game. On the other hand, one could argue that the use of "nuts" has an analogue in daily speech - "Have you seen Dave's new car. It's the nuts!" which goes back further than the article's claim of late 20th century (useful link with examples back to 1917 here. So there's an argument that the article could be expanded on that basis, since there is at least some real-world link. Black Kite (talk) 09:26, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Are we sure the usage of that phrase in speech has to do with poker and not ... other things? An etymology dictionary talks about it being slang for dual male body parts. SportingFlyer T·C 09:41, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article isn't about an actual movement, and has no sources about a movement. It's a wp:coatrack of arguments against sex offender registries, relying on a lot of wp:synth to string together unrelated references How I could just edit a wiki article (talk) 07:25, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Wp:OR, none of the references were about the subject of the article, each was meant to defend the subject of the articles views instead."

I restored that section and edited it, adding a few scholarly cites (there are A LOT of academic sources out there). Most of what was deleted was not
WP:OR
but citations to independent media articles and while I haven't had a chance to look at all the cites the ones I did supported the text. I took out the word "movement" wherever it appeared except the lead and infobox. There was some (not a lot of) POV in the text and I've tried to tone it down, but if there's a balance issue then I would think opponents' voices should be easy to find.
The remaining question would be what to rename it to. Although @ Denaar suggested ""Sex offender law reform in the United States" perhaps ""Calls for sex offender registry reform in the United States" would be more accurate. I'm open on this one.
To the closing admin As we're at the close-or-relist date, I'd suggest this be relisted on grounds of
WP:HEY
One more comment: looking at the history of these blocked editors I found they and another editor recently blanked a bunch of what looks like good sources on Effectiveness of sex offender registration policies in the United States (hat-tip to Denaar for mentioning the history of this article above). I'm worn out from thinking about POV -- grownups can talk about difficult/controversial subjects without being advocates, but for sure there are balance/undue/advocacy issues at play. I'm not going to tinker with that article now, but at some point it should probably be merged with this article. Will see how this discussion goes first, and maybe (maybe) drop a note on the talk page.Oblivy (talk) 08:50, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've gone ahead and restored the article Effectiveness of sex offender registration policies in the United States to the most recent version prior to the blanking edits, since the edits seemed to be POV-pushing and were made by two accounts banned for sockpuppeting.

Sex offender registration as that page is a redirect. Also, I think any article rename has to be a discussion that occurs in the event that this article is Kept. If it is Merged, Redirected or Deleted, than the title won't be terribly important.

  • Keep The article may need some editing for NPOV, but the fact is that such a movement does exist, and whether we like it or not, it is notable and should be described and documented. Vontheri (talk) 05:04, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    But does any sort of organised movement exist as the title suggests? It would need to be TNT'd in order to be remade into an acceptable article. TheInsatiableOne (talk) 17:45, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That depends how one interprets the word "movement". Just how "organized" does something have to be before it becomes a "movement"? There are high-profile people (at least high-profile within relevant circles) who are calling for such reform, for example Patty Wetterling. I would be fine with renaming the article, but deleting it entirely seems detrimental and unnecessary. Vontheri (talk) 04:45, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Addition to my previous comment: Also, does the word "movement" necessarily imply "organized movement"? A movement can be a movement without having central organization. Otherwise, the term "organized movement" would be redundant and unnecessary to exist as a term. The title "Movement to reform sex offender laws in the United States" only implies that there are people advocating for it, it doesn't necessarily imply organization.
    That said, I am fine with the name being changed as long as it is to a relevant and unbiased name. I just don't think the article should be deleted. Vontheri (talk) 06:09, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I think this movement is significant and notable enough to deserve an article. GeodeRose (talk) 06:30, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I have added two more sources to the article, including an opposing view. As noted in the first relisting comment, questions about renaming the article need to wait although I agree with @Vontheri the meaning term movement is fairly expansive.
  • Comment After reading the article completely and more in-depth, I am more convinced than ever that the article should not be deleted and that it really isn't even problematic in its current state. Sure, it can use some work, but so can most Wikipedia articles. Given the topic of the article, of course it is going to focus more on arguments against sex offender registries/laws. There could and should be some more counter-balance given to the article, but it's really not anywhere nearly as radical or as biased as was initially implied. The main issue was the overly-dramatic picture of the toddler, but it has now been removed. Let's all remember that the article was nominated for deletion by a now-banned account, and if you look at the banned accounts (note plural) edit histories, then it doesn't take long to see that this editor was on Wikipedia primarily, if not solely, to make changes to fit their personal political views. Vontheri (talk) 08:58, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A bit off-topic at an AfD but proper consideration should be given to whether we need four articles about U.S. SORs. The 7-year old forking argument is a distraction. But something is wrong here, not about POV/undue but it's bad to have things scattered all over the place. Constitutionality article has a long discussion about effectiveness data, for example).
    An argument could be made for merging some of it into Sex offender registries in the United_States but that's already 3500-odd words, of which 800-odd relate to the three forked topics. Effectiveness is 2500 words, constitutionality is 2150, this one is 640. Even with some trimming de-forking is likely to end up at 8000. I could easily see merging effectiveness into this one (subject to post-AfD rename away from "movement") then keeping constitutionality as its own article.
    When this AfD is over I'll put a comment on the talk page to try to get some consensus (not ruling out being bold, but this topic trips some red lights for folks). Oblivy (talk) 04:19, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm mixed on that one. On the one hand, the four topics do have discernible differences that could merit separate articles, but there is also much overlap. It's a borderline case, but I could see an argument for merging this article with "Effectiveness", although I'm not quite sure what an appropriate title for the article would be in that case. I think "constitutionality" is probably distinct enough that it should remain as its own article, but if it is merged, it would probably make the most sense to merge it into the "movement" article. I think "constitionality" and "effectiveness" are distinct enough from each other that they deserve separate articles; but that creates a bit of a fallacious sort of situation in which "effectiveness" and "movement" could be merged together, and "constitutionality" could be merged with "movement", but "constitutionality" would not be compatible enough to be merged with "effectiveness". All three of those can't be logically satisfied.
    It is unfortunate that so many people can't put their emotional reactions (or "red lights", as you put it) to a topic aside and neutrally and factually work to document phenomena and build an encyclopedia, not only in regards to this topic but in regards to so many varied topics that people have strong feelings about, though this topic is probably one of the most severely affected by emotions in that way.

    Thanks for your comment. This isn't quite the right place for this discussion, but I wanted to raise it. Hopefully this will end as a keep or no-consensus, and then we can discuss how to put the articles on a good footing (and after they are cleaned up and merged if that’s possible, candidly, I'm going to go work on something else) Oblivy (talk) 23:22, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I only see two votes for "delete". Unless something radically changes over the next few days, then the article won't be deleted. Once this sock-puppet/POV-warrior initiated time wasting is over, then we can work on actually figuring out a direction forward for the article, as you said.

Sans (Undertale)

Character likely fails standalone notability and falls under

WP:FANCRUFT. Most of the article is unsourced plot summary or reception that can be included on the Undertale
game article, and this article itself is a disorganized mess. Full source analysis:

  • In appearances; Most of the plot summary is completely unsourced. As for the sources that were there, 1 is citing something related to Papyrus, 2 is just fan theories that don't give very much, and 3-8 may be the definition of a
    WP:REFBOMB
    . All it does is demonstrate that Sans got a Mii costume in Smash and his boss fight was remade in Fortnite (odd thing to document in a section meant for official appearances). This REFBOMB takes up a fourth of the articles citations (6/24).
  • In Development, literally nothing is cited to the character himself. 9-12 are for Megalovania.

In Reception:

  • 13 praised all of the boss fights in the game, this is not notability for his boss fight.
  • 14, yeah he's a fan favorite, but this is just a Q&A with the developer Toby Fox with little substance. Doesn't talk about the questions received. Might be
    WP:USERG
    .
  • 15 says nothing except about how he is introduced in the game. This is the most character reception any of the reception sources contain, and it is solely because he is included in a "top video game characters of the decade" list. Nothing about his character is said.
  • 16 is decent reception for his boss fight, but nothing about the character himself.
  • 17-18 are repeats and are just fan art showcases. Same with 19, except 19 is extremely confusing. 21-22 is a poll among a single internet community. These are USERG.
  • 20 is funny but this isn't character reception.
  • 23 may as well be primary.
  • 24 is about Megalovania.

Summary: Out of 24 sources, 6 are part of a ref bomb, 6 more are USERG, and 5 are about Megalovania, which I believe may as well be its own topic due to its history preceding Undertale.

So there is no critical analysis on this character, and

WP:VG/SE
as well as Google Scholar at first glance. Until I removed them, there were also originally sections from The Gamer and Screen Rant in reception, which may have given the illusion of notability despite them being unusable in those situations. There are also numerous grammar mistakes and weird organization problems, such as "the subject of much fan art" and Megalovanias appearance in Taiko no Tatsujin being in the Development section.

  • Keep – Yes, never a member of the House of Lords, so it's just a question of
    WP:N and the GNG. Agreed that Who's Who does not count towards notability, but the articles in The Yorkshire Post do. The Tatler article does in fact mention the subject, as "the Marquess of Downshire" is this one. Not much there, but it verifies something in the article, which is what references do. Debrett's is independent of the subject and has editors. As I see it, he meets the test of WP:N, which is about verifiability and not importance. If the page is not kept, it is all relevant to Marquess of Downshire, a notable subject, and should be merged there, with a redirect, as the present peer is an integral part of that history. Moonraker (talk) 04:49, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    The problem with Debrett's is the lack of
    WP:SIGCOV: you get a name, title, DOB and descendants on p. 2999, and that's it. This is routine information, hardly "more than a trivial mention". Even The Guardian agrees that this source is "a bible stripped back to its begats. Outsiders can be frustrated by the lack of the colourful narratives that they suspect must be behind a lot of the begetting." Debrett's also cannot count towards the GNG because it is not a secondary source: it's a tertiary source, much like other reference work. Pilaz (talk). 10:32, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

    Also,
    WP:TERTIARY source like Debrett's with no SIGCOV enough. Pilaz (talk) 10:37, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete, one local piece with non-trivial coverage is not enough for GNG. Edit: Redirect. JoelleJay (talk) 23:39, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
JoelleJay you agree then that The Yorkshire Post is non-trivial coverage. It is a regional rather than local newspaper, and the GNG does not distinguish between national, regional, and local sources, so the question is whether it is a reliable source, and it meets all the tests. Pilaz says it is "significant coverage". And then there is Debrett's Peerage, which has biographies as well as genealogy. Pilaz does not dispute its reliability, and I agree, but there is a misunderstanding in the words "passing mention", as Debrett's has nearly half a page about the subject of the article, which is not trivial. NB, what the GNG requires is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" and defines "significant coverage" as — "addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Moonraker (talk) 18:39, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Since you seem to have access to it, what does Debrett's actually say beyond his genealogy, and is that info non-routine? WP:N requires article subjects also pass NOT. JoelleJay (talk) 00:26, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
JoelleJay it's a short biography. I would say more, but the copy I have access to is in a library in Oxford and I am in a different place now. Moonraker (talk) 20:53, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Moonraker and from what I gather this is an active and notable person, much of the deletionist view is nitpicking about the importance and nature of sources. His activities are better sourced than the political careers of some elected hereditary peers in the House of Lords. Killuminator (talk) 18:38, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Surely, if we are nitpicking, you can tell us which sources help satisfy the GNG. Unless you are just arguing

It could have been helpful for the !keep case, because right now the rough consensus is that there's only one source which passes the GNG, which is the Yorkshire Post. Pilaz (talk) 09:49, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
