Crispín Sosa Tapia

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

Does not meet

WP:GNG, possible hoax here and on es.wiki. Put bluntly, none of the sources are reliable. The best available coverage comes from a amateurish student paper [1], with additional sources including a provenance-free document uploaded to a file-sharing website ([2]), a blog that isn't even a complete website ([3]), an empty search result [4], and, on es.wiki, the lyrics of some folk songs. I was unable to find additional coverage online, having searched the general internet, Google Books, Google Scholar, and my local university library's collection. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 23:10, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply

In these quotes the life of this character is mentioned, it is clarified by the situation of his events at the time the government suppressed information in some way at the time. As of today, you can see more about his life and his legacy, even if according to English Wikipedia The guidelines do not apply, his biography is fine, perhaps later, thank you for taking the time and clarifying this article, good day everyone.

Could you please provide the actual, Spanish titles? I'm trying to find these books in Worldcat to verify that they actually exist. Porrúa Dictionary seems plausible (here's the Google Books entry, although it does not allow for a preview), but I am unable to find any record of a book by Alfredo Toxqui in 1991 or Bautista Gonzalo in 2002. I've gone ahead and requested a digital copy of the Porrua text available from my local library and am hoping that I will receive it shortly--if there are any issues with this library request I should be able to retrieve the physical copy in a week once I return from my travels._signed,Rosguill ^talk 00:01, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A link to a blog is an article about a "Arnulfo Chávez", not a "Crispín Sosa Tapia". I think I've seen another article like this one, with a similar story about a good bandit that was killed in Mexico, but I think it was deleted via speedy deltion and I don't recall the article title. But this article is very familiar. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:44, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For whatever reason, the es.wiki article on Tapia uses one of the purported nicknames, El Güilo Sosa, as a title, in case that jogs your memory. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 00:09, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That blog that talks about Arnulfo Chavez, actually refers to Crispin Sosa, even reading well at the end of the text, reference is made to him even in the comments that mention and correct. 2806:262:496:108:D949:8D5B:A724:FCC1 (talk) 21:04, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete given the total failure to verify any sources (I also struck out on newspapers.com, jstor, proquest, ebsco, newspaper-archive, and archive.org open library.) If no consensus to delete, since it's not a BLP page, I think moving to draft space to reduce risk of
Wikipedia:CITOGENESIS before sources are found and verified. Skynxnex (talk) 03:00, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply
]

Delete per Rosguill and Skynxnex's diligent searches.

The history of articles about this person on Wikimedia projects is murky:

commons:Category:El Guilo Sosa has several photos uploaded by commons:User:Julio9107. He claims to hold the copyright on all of them including the snapshot of Crispín Sosa Tapia toting a gun; does this mean he was his associate? commons:User:Historiaspuebla1978 and commons:User:Joaquinronaldo also uploaded photos.

Joaquinronaldo (see above) also created a "Crispín Sosa Tapia" article on the Spanish Wikipedia that was deleted 3 times. He was blocked indefinitely as a single-purpose account after 2 prior blocks.
Spanish Wikipedia has an article for "El Güilo Sosa", Crispín Sosa Tapia's other name. It was created by 83.55.90.118
On our Wikipedia, we have multiple articles:
- User:Julio9107/Crispín Sosa Tapia translated from the Spanish "El Güilo Sosa" article by Julio9107
- Draft:Crispín Sosa created by User:Pueblamx and rejected at AfC
Wikiquote had a file for El Guilo Sosa that was deleted.

The Spanish Wikipedia sources are all unreliable except es:El Sol de Puebla. It is a newspaper in Mexico's fourth largest city, Puebla. It's used as a reference for 16 articles on the Spanish Wikipedia. Unfortunately, the link in our article goes to a useless search page turning up 272,000 various pages.

--A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 04:28, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, or possibly draftify per Skynxnex pending a verdict on the purported print publications. There is too much funny business going on here to even consider giving this the benefit of the doubt -- and doubt is about all we have here, which wouldn't be enough to support an article in any case. As a note, the El Sol de Puebla search appears to default to Boolean OR between searchterms, but also supports exact phrases. However, none of the relevant exact phrases I tried ("el guilo", "sosa tapia", "Crispín Sosa") yielded any results at all. Likewise the 5th edition of the Diccionario Porrúa de historia (but perhaps not the increased edition?) is available for search-only access via Hathi Trust, but I'm not able to pull up any exact-phrase matches from any of the three volumes available there. At this point I'd call this a
WP:V deletion, not even getting to notability. -- Visviva (talk) 23:45, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply

Keep due to found sources that meet
WP: GNG and the article can be expanded in the future. Added Stub tag Justwatchmee (talk) 16:23, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply
]

Keep or ~~I'm weakly inclined toward a~~ merge to Olga Talamante. There's been some solid work done on the article in the last few days. But review of the sources added (and such others as I can find) only illuminates that most of the coverage of the foundation comes from sources that are either about or by Talamante. That makes it hard to write a good article about the foundation itself. -- Visviva (talk) 01:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note: modified my not-a-vote to clarify that keeping also seems fine to me, as I think this meets the GNG, although I remain somewhat on the mergeist side here. -- Visviva (talk) 23:03, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with
WP:GNG because of the lack of significant coverage in sources currently given in the article. Additionally, almost all sources I can access are related to Ogla Talamante, overviews of the foundation, or scholarship information, which can't be considered as significant coverage of the foundation itself. I can't open some websites and I can't access information in the books, but these inaccessible websites may count towards GNG. However, a merge to the article Olga Talamante may be helpful because many sources in this article is directly related to the person, not the foundation. Please notify me if any more sources are found, since this article is a few steps away from meeting GNG. (Sorry if my edits flood your watchlist.)

Really good analysis here, thank you! Chiserc (talk) 22:30, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Both The Mercury News and Santa Cruz Sentinel articles load in more than one browser here. Can't say why it wouldn't load for others as they are both pretty mainstream papers. Also, the book published by UT has pretty good coverage. Anywho, just passing it along. Cheers. Surv1v4l1st ^{╠Talk║Contribs╣} 01:14, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For The Mercury News, it shows "THIS ARTICLE IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO SUBSCRIBERS" and tells me to pay money to read. For Santa Cruz Sentinel, it shows "Please, provide an email to continue reading free articles and also receive our daily email newsletter with the latest headlines." I can't read these websites because of these messages. The person who loves reading (talk) 01:17, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the Mercury News Wikipedia page, there's a sentence saying that The Mercury News operates a paywalled website, which is located at mercurynews.com, sjmercury.com, or sjmn.com. Its SiliconValley.com website focuses on the technology industry in
WP:GNG because of sources which I can't open, but a merge with Olga Talamante would be the best option for now. If more reliable, secondary, independent sources with partial of significant coverage come up in the future, this page may be converted to an article again.

It is calling for violation of Wikipedia's fundamental contract with contributors, that they are credited with their contributions by the page history of an article. That is exactly what the creator of this article has done by explicitly admitting he does not attribute any figures to any sources whatsoever, plus copying within Wikipedia from other contributors without giving credit where it is due. If this "fundamental contract with contributors" is regarded as significant, then the first thing we should do is delete this copyvio and punish the creator for his violation of the contract. As noted (and can be seen on his talk page since day 1), this is not the first time he is violating many of the Wikipedia community's rules. As for what is here, it is so small with such a short history that it's not even worth saving. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 23:15, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That said, looking over WP:TNT more closely, I'm not opposed to a deletion either. This article plainly falls under the TNT argument mentioned there: if the article's content is useless (including all the versions in history) but the title might be useful, then delete the content to help encourage a new article.

Delete per nom. No opposition to draftification. I'm not sure there's a strict copyvio issue here, as the bare numbers in the table seem highly unlikely to be eligible for copyright; but there really doesn't seem to be anything salvageable here, just a small pile of unverified and possibly unverifiable numbers. It's not even clear if the list description's reference to "Wikipedia editors" refers to the editor(s) of this page or other pages.

Wilcox, Wyoming

The Old West's Infamous Train Robbers And Their Historic Heists describes Wilcox in 1899 as "little more than a trackside station and water stop manned by one or two railroad employees" and I could find no evidence that it was ever anything more than this. Newspaper and book coverage focuses almost entirely on a nearby train robbery and various railroad-related incidents that took place nearby, simply using Wilcox as a reference location. –dlthewave ☎ 17:41, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Wilcox train robbery, where I have spliced in the coordinate information from the Wilcox article. Ultimately the bare fact of the location seems to be the only information that this article is ever likely to be able to provide, and that can be provided more usefully in the robbery article. It seems illustrative that the Historical Atlas of the Outlaw West has a full entry on Wilcox -- but that article, too, is almost entirely about the robbery, with only the brief mention of a "trackside sign" that apparently still marked Wilcox's location in the 1980s. -- Visviva (talk) 00:20, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd Leave it Be - While it is not an earthshaking question whether Perkins does or does not have a Wikipedia page, I see no reason to delete it. The article is accurate and documented, and the settlement appears on maps of general applicability like Google Maps. I’m sure it’s important to the people who live there, and It is certainly an important locale to the railroads since the websites for both Union Pacific (see Reference 3) and the DeQueen and Eastern (see https://patriotrail.com/rail/dequeen-and-eastern-railroad-dqe/ ) specifically reference it. And, while someone seems to have been cranked up to discuss Umpire, Arkansas on its Wikipedia page, most unincorporated communities in Howard County have even less going for them (see Corinth, Midway, Mineola, Okay, or Schaal). That’s just a function of rural Arkansas; I don’t think we want to delete Howard County because it’s boring. And, I suppose that, to the extent someone sees the place on a map and wonders about it, the fact that there is a Wikipedia page but such page does NOT show Perkins as a more interesting locale may by itself answer the question of whether this is a hidden gem worth investigating. Absent a good reason to get rid of the page, I’d leave it be. TulGuy (talk) 21:54, 1 July 2023 (UTC) Moved from Talk:Perkins, Arkansas –dlthewave ☎ 22:55, 2 July 2023 (UTC) [reply]

Hard to tell what's at the location. There is a giant CertainTeed plant 0.3 miles from the point Google Maps identifies as Perkins ( https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Perkins,+AR/CertainTeed+Plant,+794+AR-369,+Nashville,+AR+71852/@34.078495,-93.8617253,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x8634988eafd8e1d1:0x2b13c74a0ae424ba!2m2!1d-93.8599091!2d34.0767775!1m5!1m1!1s0x863499d9415514e5:0x797ae0b882eccc10!2m2!1d-93.8592001!2d34.0801977!3e0?entry=ttu ). The plant has a Nashville, Arkansas address, but is 11.4 miles from Nashville ( https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Nashville,+AR/CertainTeed+Plant,+794+AR-369,+Nashville,+AR+71852/@34.0168764,-93.9396059,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x86349b067331f6b7:0x51f1f154368d37e2!2m2!1d-93.8470509!2d33.9482519!1m5!1m1!1s0x863499d9415514e5:0x797ae0b882eccc10!2m2!1d-93.8592001!2d34.0801977!3e0?entry=ttu ), and all that typically means in the countryside is that the Nashville post office is delivering the mail in the area. (I’ve lived in an incorporated town in the country, but my mailing address was nevertheless another town entirely, where the post office was located.) If you go to USPS.com’s “Find USPS Locations” page ( https://tools.usps.com/find-location.htm ) and feed in Perkins, Arkansas as the search term, the USPS knows exactly where that is and has no problem telling you that Dierks, Murfreesboro and Nashville are the nearest post offices. So Perkins isn't a figment of our imaginations; and again, unless there is an affirmative reason to delete the page, I'd leave it alone. I note someone has already modified the page to call Perkins a rail connection point, which it certainly is. I'd vote for that over deletion entirely. TulGuy (talk) 17:55, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Armenia in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages

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

This article has been draftified on two occasions, initially for a lack of any sourcing. After its most recent draftification, it was moved back to the draft space by

WP:DRAFTOBJECT. While DRAFTOBJECT is not a policy or guideline

, this discussion is likely a more productive solution.

The article is most likely a

neutrality issues. The article here is largely without references, and the two given are cited in an unusual way. The first, an article on the genetic composition in Armenia during this period, is solely used to support a passage on statuary. This academic reference, despite being three years old, appears to have never been referenced by any other academic literature, raising doubts as to its reliability independent of its likely erroneous use here. The second is not used to verify any content in the article, but does indicate the nature of this article: it is a book produced by the Armenia government and disseminated internationally

for audiences to discover certain layers of the Armenian history and culture–raising doubts regarding its neutrality. The article itself is otherwise completely unreferenced.

As to the question of sock/meatpuppetry: this article was created by Antonio Skywalker who first created it on 20 June in the mainspace. Previously, the same editor made their first edit on 3 June–creating their sandbox with the contents of Draft:Armenia in the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods. Antonio Skywalker did not create that Neolithic draft, but Օֆելյա Հակոբյան did, also on 20 June. Օֆելյա Հակոբյան had previously edited edited Antonio Skywalker's sandbox on 15 June, prior to the latter making any mainspace contributions. The same day what is now the Neolithic and Bronze Age drafts were created in the mainspace by both editors, Օֆելյա Հակոբյան created Armenia in the Achaemenid and Hellenistic periods, Draft:Armenia in the Middle Bronze Age, and Draft:Armenia in the Early Bronze Age. Each of these articles similarly uses the government book as a source and are otherwise largely unreferenced.

In short, this appears to be a sock or meat operation to publish unreferenced articles on large swathes of history regarding one of the most heavily disputed subject matters. Until sourcing can be added, all of the mainspace articles mentioned should be moved into the draftspace. ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:23, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete These historical ages are covered on the article for Armenia. If there is more to be added it should be added there. This reads like a student essay and meets none of the requirements of an encyclopedia article. Lamona (talk) 17:12, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The source cited inline does not support the claim referencing it. The general reference published under government auspices, while it probably does have neutrality issues, this article uses it mostly to discuss archaeology, and the only truly contentious thing that pops out at a non-expert like me is the stuff about ethnic groups in the lead. I feel this reads more like popular literature than a student essay. Student essays cite sources, right? I don't think we have much of a reason to mistrust the government published popular work for its coverage of archaeological topics, but the way the random citation to a genetic study was thrown haphazardly into the middle of an unrelated paragraph makes me mistrust the article author.

Kurdish immigration into Syria

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

This article contains repeated information from Kurds in Syria article. It also lacks some impartiality, as emigrations to Syria after World War I consisted of Armenians, Assyrians, Kurds and other ethnic groups due to various conflicts, and were not intended for Kurds or a specific people. Sulaimanl (talk) 21:24, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article is well-sourced and seems to be an SPA target of the nom as they're bludgeoning the talk page trying to picture the topic as merely an opinion (and odd editing on Kurd Mountain) and attempted an A10 speedy. Nate • (chatter) 21:33, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @MrSchimpf: what I mean is that the article is mentioning information and ignoring others because as I said the emigrations after the First World War to Jazira were not consisted by only Kurds so that we call them “Kurdish immigration” because De Vaumas Étienne mentioned Assyrians, Arabs, Kurds and others , he also said in p. 10 of his book La Djezireh syrienne et son réveil économique « Most of them are Sunnis but there are also among them Christians, Jacobites and of the Armenian rite, as well as Yazidis included in the group of Havergans with whom they united in the revolt and in the exodus… Jazira welcomed Christians of all sects and from various origins, from Turkey and Iraq for the most part. From eight to nine thousand Assyro-Chaldeans, Nestorians and Chaldean Catholics from the regions of Mosul and Baghdad, were settled, under the control of the League of Nations, on the banks of the Khabur. ». This is why I have proposed to create an article that talks about Immigration to Syria in general or merge those information with Kurds in Syria article because it’s repeated information first and used in a not neutral way second. I don’t see what do you mean by “bludgeoning the talk page” or what odd editing on Kurd Mountain have to do with this but anyways I am active in the Arabic Wikipedia not a SPA if you look at my contributions there, you’ll see they are on diverse and peaceful topics. I read the article by accident and the way it’s written caught my attention because it is strange to create an article about the "immigration" of a group while ignoring other groups in emigrations that included them all, and it is difficult to believe the innocent motives behind its creation. However, If the title of the article had been Migrations into Syria and mention every details on it, it would have been neutral at least. I’m not calling for vandalism, on the contrary I support any suggestion that contributes to the development of the topic so that it does not become a POV.

@WeirdNAnnoyed: Thank you for your participation and sorry I have modified my comment and didn’t saw yours.

CommentI also believe the article could be an interesting one. Bu on the 'well sourced' issue...At least the tables give limited info on the topic into Syria. One is only for the Hasakah Governorate in 1939, and the other one on several years also only on the Al Jazirah Governorate, and then also not specifically relating to Kurds but for in general.

Keep: I cant see the merits of this nomination. If the nominator wants to expand on the Armenian migration to Syria, he is free to create an article for it. As for the tables: Jazira is part of Syria, and part of the Kurdish inhabited regions in Syria that received the migration. The only argument against them is that they should be contextualised if they are not already are, but deleting them is too far.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 09:34, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Attar-Aram syria: I have nothing against the content, I nominated the article for deletion because it contains repeated information in addition to some general information. In the case of detailing the topic, I think we can create an article about Migration into Syria in general so that we do not try to link migration and emigration into Jazira and population jumps to a specific people. The cited sources mention many other details about the migrations of other people to the Jazira region and the topic is not limited to that. Sulaimanl (talk) 11:49, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes @Attar-Aram syria, context is needed and maybe you can help as you know how good articles must look like. But tables that do not show how many Kurds immigrated to Syria or only show the demographics of the general population which specifically do not include ethnic distinctions, in my opinion don't fit in an article on Kurdish immigration into Syria. But I absolutely also tend to a keep, because neeedless to say, there existed an immigration into Syria. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:02, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Paradise Chronicle: Exactly, this is what I meant by linking topics as the article contained an individual opinion especially with the tables, in a way that makes it look like an attempt to make the issue of immigration to Al-Hasakah limited to the Kurds. And I said from the beginnings that the informations were used in a wrong way and I didn’t said that the ressources are the ones that have a problem, or if the article was well sourced so many here didn’t understand my point. I maybe rushed to nominate the article for deletion after I saw the repetition, the lack of contexts and the wrong used informations, but if we can develop the content I think that it is important to create an article that mentions the various migrations to the region, because as there were Kurdish exodus from Turkey due to various conflicts, there were Assyrian exodus and migrations from Turkey to Syria, specifically Al-Hasakah Governorate, and from Iraq to Syria, especially in 1933 around Al-Khabour in the same region. The issue of immigration to Al-Hasakah is not limited to a specific people, there is a lot to mention and a clear context is needed. Sulaimanl (talk) 23:12, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond that, while I lack sufficient expertise to locate and evaluate Arabic-language sources, the article's existence on AR is a positive indicator, as is the fact that Qaym review datasets seem to be very widely used for Arabic-language sentiment analysis tasks. Even if the existing sources come up short, I find it implausible that additional sources cannot be found. -- Visviva (talk) 23:39, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There are quite a few articles at newspapers.com. This was clearly a community. In the Denton Journal June 11, 1943, there is an article about a migrant labor camp being setup in Waddell's Corner. The Waddells Corner Labor Camp got a lot of press over the years. There were several crime reports, including one in August or September of 1954 when a worker murdered another in a crap game at Waddell's Corner migrant labor camp. The migrant labor camp there also was in the national news July 18 1958. There are several mentions about the Waddells and that Waddells Corner was named for the family. In August of 1958, the state attempted to claim imminent domain from "15 property owners from Waddells Corner". These sources show this was clearly a community, not just some crossroads. This is not one of those places with one or two newspaper articles, there are hundreds. Jacona (talk) 00:22, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If he is the founder of a viable branch of psychology, I do not find expected evidence. His works are barely cited (single digits) in Scholar. There are mentions (only a few) of his "invention" but little about him. I note that articles exist for his co-author, Ivan Tyrrell, about whom even fewer sources exist, and for the technique, Human givens, which appears to be well-sourced. A redirect from Givens (and, IMO, Tyrrell) to the article for the technique would suffice. Lamona (talk) 04:37, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I found a couple very brief reviews by the same community health nurse in Nursing Standard magazine (non-academic) of his books Freedom from Addiction and How to Lift Depression--Fast (these would count as one source, if at all), plus another review of the latter in another journal (Mental Health Practice) by the same publisher. There's also a first-person account (primary) in Independent Nurse magazine (non-academic) from a nurse who uses the human givens approach. There are also non-fiction books from Jessica Kingsley Publishers (publishes in Chinese medicine). But the majority of "academic" sources on the approach are from Human Givens Publishing (non-independent) or are in predatory or pseudoscientific journals like Psikiyatride Guncel Yaklasimlar (articles submitted through the predatory publisher ScopeMed), NeuroQuantology, . The ones that aren't are mostly uncited articles in very low-impact journals like Progress in Neurology and Psychiatry (IF 0.185), Mental Health Review Journal (IF 1.51), Educational and Child Psychology (IF 0.49), a lot of them by the same couple authors. Only 8 hits for "human givens therapy" in Scopus keywords, 25 overall. I'm concerned that this is a rather FRINGE method. JoelleJay (talk) 18:25, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Human Givens Therapy is an established therapy in the UK and Joe Griffin cowrote the book which developed the therapy "Human Givens: The New Approach to Emotional Health and Clear Thinking", which was reviewed by Psychology Today,^[1]Starlighsky (talk) 03:43, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Skylighsky[reply]

@Starlighsky: There is an article for the Human givens therapy, which that Psychology Today article could be considered in support of. The article you link to does not give information on Griffin, and it is this latter which is needed so that Griffin can have an article on Wikipedia. If you think this Wikipedia article should be retained then you need to provide sources that are substantially about Griffin. Lamona (talk) 22:42, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also looked at G-Scholar but do not see "extensive" coverage. It would be helpful if you could link to 3 or more of the sources you see there that you consider to be extensive. Note that non-scholarly resources, like this conference (which is held by the HG institute) aren't considered good sources.

Delete I can't see what the claimed 'non-trivial' cites are, but I cannot see how this thoroughly unremarkable hotel is notable. There is no claim that the building itself is notable, and I expect that the company drone who assembled this cringing festival of snobbery in an attempt to make their dull business seem appealing would have mentioned it had this been the case.TheLongTone (talk) 14:43, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. A factor that works against notability is that the building isn't listed so has little to distinguish it architecturally. Hotel reviews online are scant. It's listed in editions of Fodor's but the entries aren't substantial. The area of interest is the history of the site, including its earlier connections and the fact that it was used in the Second World War as a court. Berystede is named in books in connection with some of the court cases held, but mentions only. Also, the BBC chose it for a short series of radio broadcasts. So, indications of notability. The only substantial coverage found to date is the publication listed under the Source heading, the 1973 review in the local newspaper, plus the Britain/In Britain magazine articles, which I'm counting as one as they may be the same publication with a different name. These three sources have sufficient coverage to just get the article over the line, as regards the GNG. The Reading Evening Post reference isn't sufficiently focused on the hotel to count. Although the article was likely written by a SPA editor with a COI, User:TheLongTone has removed the unencyclopedic tone and off-topic content. To summarise, borderline notability, but I'm erring on the side of keep because a merge to South Ascot is impractical given the length of the article. Rupples (talk) 14:21, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

She may have been the very first African American and very first African-American female to win Survivor, and I see some hardcore fandom fawning over her. However, being such and such and such would not be enough to save the article from being deleted, redirected, or whatever else would happen to the article and to prevent

WP:BIO1E) from being applicable. Even those appearing on highly-rated series doesn't make someone like her a high-profile individual. Even appearing in an episode of a TLC series and writing an autobiography (or two) would not cut it, IMO. Even doing other activities haven't prevented (articles about) other certain Survivor winners from being redirected to their own respective season articles (or deleted). The article must be redirected to Survivor: Marquesas. George Ho (talk) 08:58, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply

Keep. Justification to delete is flawed.

WP:BLP1E

needs three criteria to be met and the second one is not, as evidenced by the media interviews. Examples:

CT55555(talk) 01:16, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The AV Club article is more about racism than more about her, and the EW questionnaire is more of an interview and more of a primary source than secondary IMO. I can't believe you're trying to question my justification. George Ho (talk) 02:51, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot believe that I'm trying to question your justification? That seems odd. If you thought this was a slam dunk obvious delete, you'd presumably have done a

WP:LOWPROFILE

helps us differentiate between high profile and low profile individuals and I think clearly supports my assertion that people giving media interviews are not low profile individuals.

I think my argument is logical, common sense driven and in line with norms here.

I find the essay

I hope not to get into a long back and forth on this, I think my !vote speaks for itself and probably doesn't require further justification.

What you argued just now reminds me of another editor doing the same thing, yet most AFD discussions on one-time Survivor winners resulted in redirecting those articles (and one deletion).

Comment - Please note that this article came out in 2001. Internet coverage of things like this largely started up later in the 2000s. This album was released on a major record label, and was getting coverage on MTV at the time. An album like this almost certainly has coverage locked away in print media.

Redirect to Lifer (band). To contradict my esteemed colleague Sergecross above, this album did indeed get an AllMusic review (already cited), but I can find nothing else to indicate contemporary media notice when the album was released. Via a Google Books search, the only result I can find is a very brief mention in a 2002 book called Brave Nu World (a history of the genre that focuses on far more successful bands). I can find nothing in contemporary newspapers though others will stronger database skills may find something. I found a few mentions of the album in articles about the band's middle-aged reunion 20 years later but it's still just introductory: [12], [13], [14]. It's a close call but I simply don't think there's much to work with for a full album article, so my recommendation is to redirect. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:26, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A seemingly minor character that, from what I could gather, only ever appeared in two episodes of a very long running franchise. Tons of trivial mentions come up in searches, but none of these go more in-depth then simply name-dropping the character as an example of one of the killers featured in the show. Based on some footnotes from other texts, it seems like this book (no preview available, unfortunately) did discuss the character in a non-trivial manner, but that would still only be a single piece of significant coverage from a reliable source, which would not be enough to pass the
WP:GNG. I would also be open to redirecting to List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation characters#Adversaries, where he is already listed, if others would rather do that, but I personally think the character is too minor to actually be included in that list.

Note:I never said, the 2023 edition does not need an article, never said, this is not historical tournament or not important in Asian football. I just pointed out that the article created too soon as no schedule, no team, no venue has been announce by the host federation, which is enough to say its align with TOOSOON. So not a bad nom at all but a justified one for now. When they announces all these then it can be created, otherwise the team written in the article and venue or the format all are aligning with WP:NOTNEWS.

WP:NOTNEWS etc. In reality the tournament is not announced yet formally, just like we will not create an article on 2038 FIFA World Cup based on few secondary unrelaible sources. My argument was never that the article should not be created, my argument was always to be created when the tournament be announced by MFA and follows notability and verifiability but not on speculations or crystalball.

  An imaginative and lavishly-illustrated guide to painting fairies in watercolour produced with easy-to-follow step-by-step illustrations and photographs. The author provides an outline of basic watercolour tools and techniques, revealing how to create a fairy world and various types of fairies. Included is an in-depth look at the techniques of four well-known fairy artists as well as twenty more contemporary fairy/fantasy artists.

WP:SILENCE speaks volumes. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 17:22, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply

Hello, Just Another Cringy Username,

In general, AFDs have seen lower participation over the past few months. I don't have the numbers on it but the number of editors who regularly participate in deletion discussions (not just come to discuss one or two articles) definitely seems lower than it did six months ago or a year ago. It's not unusual to have to close discussions like this one where one editor or even no editors have weighed in on whether or not an article should be deleted. But I do relist them because I've also seen 3 or 4 editors pop in after two or three relistings so you never know. But I think this one will not be relisted again. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:46, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. Any idea why? How would such an AfD close (as in keep, no-consensus, or delete)? Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 00:54, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, about 12-15 months ago, AFD was overloaded with AFDs on athletes, dozens and dozens nominated each day, given the newly formed guidelines on sports notability and the sides for Delete and Keep were pretty entrenched. I think after going through the same fierce arguments hundreds of times, most of the participating editors got understandably burned out on the process of coming to a consensus. That would explain lower participation in sports-related AFDs, maybe it had some after effect on AFDs in general. But I wouldn't be surprised if many editors actively participate for a year or two and then move on to less contentious areas of the project like creating and improving articles. One is less likely to run into conflict doing that, I think.

As for how to close a low participation deletion discussion, I've seen a number of different outcomes over the years. The policy most often cited though is

WP:NPASR and that offers some guidance. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:46, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply

I am confident that there are more references available, but due to the Taliban's control and censorship in our country, many websites operating with Afghan domains have been shut down. Ajmal Selab is one of the staunch opponents of the Taliban and is working with the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan.

Draftify - the subject might be notable enough as User:Parwiz ahmadi said but reference quality and coverage is lacking to encyclopedic standards. Needs further improvement but should not be deleted entirely. - Indefensible (talk) 05:42, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draft. Using Google Translate, it seems the entirety of current sources essentially are able to establish that the subject was an assistant of a notable individual Ahmad Zia Massoud, that he was a member of the resistance in Afghanistan, and that he had a hand in constructing a mausoleum for a poet, Haidari wujodi. Everything else is dependent on the subject's words in interviews. SIGCOV can be pieced together from multiple sources. This article would become a minuscule stub based on current sources. I'm not necessarily opposed to it, but user Indefensible's idea of a draft seems like the right course for such an article. I've retracted my above !vote —siro χ o 05:54, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
save it. Your criteria should be slightly different for a backward country like Afghanistan, where technology and mass media have a relatively short history. Many media outlets, including those operating with the .Af domain, were blocked by the Taliban, resulting in the loss of most references. In this section, I want to emphasize that Ajmal Selab is a prominent figure in Afghanistan. He has been involved in important government and political positions for years, particularly within the Jamiat-E-Islami, which is the strongest political movement in Afghanistan. He is also closely related to Ahmad Shah Massoud, the national hero of Afghanistan. The Afghan people have great respect for this family. In my opinion, the references I have provided are sufficient for this article. I understand that Wikipedia's criteria may be more extensive, but we should also consider the challenges faced by Afghanistan. We should not compare an Afghan politician with an American politician. I hope you keep the article in its original state. Thank you for your cooperation."

Ref 1 is from The Chicago Tribune and mentions the setting up of the organisation here, reference 3 is about their opposition to gay marriage,ref 4 is about the organisation changing their name which is obviously relevant.

The best you say about it, is that it verifies it existed, but the coverage is routine. Establishing an organisation and changing their name have been considered to fail

Delete - I don't get all the keeps. The reference being held up as the best one is just a passing mention. The entirety of what the Chicago Tribune says is this: Two years ago, dissidents formed the American Unitarian Conference, saying liberal politics had overtaken the church. The conference's president, Virginia attorney David Burton.... The entirety of the Bangor Daily News article says David Burton of the American Unitarian Conference, a group calling the church to return to its theological roots, said Unitarian Universalist is a religion that does not have much religion left in it. Both of these then have a quote from Burton... and that's it. No information about the church other than, effectively, it's mission statement. The other two real sources cited, the Spokesman Review and the Gadsen Times ... are the same AP article. So it changed its name. That's clearly the best source of the bunch in terms of depth, and it's a pretty routine announcement that was published because the UU is notable, not because the AUC is notable. It merits inclusion in the UU article, not the creation of a separate one about an entity we can say almost nothing about.

Delete even after considering new sources, the article does not have reasonable enough sources. Merging the article could happen as suggested (really it seems as though a number of Unitarian stubs could be combined into a singular article about Unitarian conferences/groups/organisations but that feels a but a bit off topic).

I think the article would need a significant amount of information added by new sources to be a constructive addition. Pedantical (talk) 19:57, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Would need to pass NCORP and it doesn't even approach it. I agree with Siroxo's source analysis. I don't think that there is meaningful content to be merged.
WP:CSC -- considering this AfD, as this is now provenly a non-notable organization, and if the list is a CSC-type-1 list (every member notable or a promising red link), which appears to be the case, it should not be included in the list.

The result was merge‎ to EMusic. This is not a strong consensus but I don't think relisting the discussion another week will bring in more participants. I'm not sure about this but I think after a Merge is done, the article could be moved to Draft space rather than be deleted so that it could continue to be improved if there is an experienced editor who wants to take that on.

Leaning move to draft. I am not seeing any clearly independent sources used in the article that also provide in-depth coverage. That said, I do think that the aggregate of coverage in some sources (particularly regarding a controversial property development in Hawaii which is covered in the cited sources but not reflected in the article) could yield evidence of encyclopedic notability.

Redirect to eMusic, merge any necessary info to eMusic as per siro. This article was created by user "Guruvie" which is both a presumed nickname of Chasan and also a trademark once owned by him. Major blocks of text have been added by SPAs. The article is notably void of independent sources to support the bio. Lamona (talk) 05:13, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with many of the points made by @BD2412, and now that the subject’s role in the widely covered controversial Hawaii property development is added, the article clears the bar for encyclopedic notability. Coverage includes independent sources such as Billboard Magazine, Business Town, Maui Time, Maui Public Radio and more. To @Lamona’s point: I would agree if the current text of the article was from @Guruvie, however it’s pretty clear that the article has been rewritten and cited reliably since then and that user hasn’t edited the page in over 10 years. It is also worth noting that the result of the first nomination for AfD here was a keep and given the Hawaii section, he has only become more notable since the article’s creation.

Editchecker123, I disagree that the article has been re-written post Guruvie. In fact, that account, and two other SPA accounts, contributed significantly to the article even after the first AFD. That AFD, btw, was closed by a now-blocked account. Much of the activity on the article has been cleanup, as is often the case, and removal of poor content. The "controversy" in Hawaii is not about him, and he is mentioned in the articles but that is all. His book is self-published and sells for $2.99 - even at that, it is not in the top 100 in a very small category. That saved Amazon page and the info about the book was added by a IPV6 SPA, and it probably had to be done the very day that the book appeared on Amazon. BTW, that page says "Our best-selling new and future releases" and the Amazon page predates the actual sales date by about 10 days. (Amazon page=September 20, 2022, publication date=October 3, 2022. I think it's pretty clear that the book was not a best seller before it was published. Lamona (talk) 05:06, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
After rereading the sources I agree in-part with this, I went back through the entire article today and edited it to make sure the copy was not exaggerating the sources. It feels in a good place now from that perspective. I was also able to find 3 in-depth independently written profiles of Mark Chasan which addresses BD2412 and your other notes above: 1) Business Town from the 1990s, 2) Maui Times from the 2010s, and 3) Troora Magazine from the 2020s. To the point on Maui, many of the articles are directed at both the project and him personally (such as this and this). Overall on his notability, he did found eMusic which was a pioneer in its time according to multiple cited sources listed in the article, he was involved in its IPO, the site is still around today, and we have not debated that fact. It would seem that alone would be enough for an encyclopedic entry, given
WP:BIO
:

• Overall Criteria 2: "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field" (eMusic in its entirety would fill this)

• Creative Professionals Criteria 2: "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique" (eMusic streaming vs. CD purchases would fill this)

• Creative Professionals Criteria 3: "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" (the controversial property development in Maui would fill this given the amount of Hawaii press it generated) Editchecker123 (talk) 17:17, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to eMusic. I was asked to come here and comment, since I commented on the original AfD in 2009. I don't have a strong feeling about this article, except that it should not be deleted. The best solution would probably be to merge information about him to eMusic. And I do mean "merge information about him", not just redirect. My hesitation to say "keep" is that while the article has many sources, they are pretty much all minor or local; I'm not seeing the major news coverage that would lead me to an undisputed "keep". He gets a mention in a Washington Post article; that's about it. As for the dispute about his proposed development in Maui, that appears to be entirely a local, neighborhood situation that didn't attract much notice even in the rest of the state. -- MelanieN (talk) 15:43, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article was then restored by User:Aspects with the rationale: "rv redirect that was already contested and per WP:BRD, there should be a WP:MERGE discussion or an WP:AFD."
The previous AfD was closed on largely procedural grounds, due to a rapid-fire nomination of many other American Idol contestants at the same time. The only genuine keep rationale offered was due to a (now inactive) WikiProjects own guideline which never reached the status of an actual notability guideline.

Weak Keep: I'm generally in favor of keeping articles about Idol top 12 finalists if they have gone on to release music after the series, as Grigsby has done. Grigsby does not seem to have maintained a great deal of notability in the years since he was on Idol, but he very easily passes the
WP:NSINGER on the basis of criteria #1. While the current version of the article does not demonstrate significant coverage, a simple Google or ProQuest search shows that numerous news articles from reliable sources have covered Grigsby (I'm seeing well over 150 on ProQuest, and there are undoubtedly many more that are not included on ProQuest). --Jpcase (talk) 02:00, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply

"During his days on the show, Grigsby's style could be defined by two simple concepts: a hat on the head, and the color blue on the body. "He's basically a hat person and he'll wear any kind," says stylist Siggins. "We totally embraced it," adds Banowetz, who says Grigsby's "minimal hair" helped with the hats.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent
reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject
.
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.
