BLAR was undone, but the article doesn't look any better. The Washington Post interview (not a review so also inappropriately placed in the ratings box) only mentions the album for two sentences, and other than that and the PopMatters review, I'm unclear that any of the sources are reliable (I've particularly seen Prelude Press called outright unreliable before). If, ultimately, that means the article is basically relying on just PopMatters for notability, then that'd be the same grounds that I BLARed on in the first place.

  • Delete - He is a founder of two (somewhat) notable bands, which might -- I repeat MIGHT -- help him qualify for #6 at
    WP:NMUSICBIO, if he had any notability on his own, which he doesn't. Let's avoid an argument over which band to redirect to, which is likely to end in a pointless "no consensus" as has happened a lot lately. There is no harm in simply deleting Javier Escovedo's article because his presence in both bands is adequately described at their articles. I will also point out that many of Javier's media mentions are in articles about his more famous relatives. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:19, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply

No evidence of notability. A google search for Yunike does not give any hits for this individual. The only source is his Spotify biography. This is also very likely an autobiography based on the username of the author. Bensci54 (talk) 17:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Bensci54,
I hope this message finds you well.
I'd like to express my gratitude for your attention to the article I created about the artist "Yunike" on Wikipedia. I understand your concern regarding the notability of the article and I'm willing to provide additional information that may clarify the significance of the artist "Yunike" in the music community.
I acknowledge that a Google search may not have returned many relevant results about "Yunike." However, I'd like to highlight that the notability of artists is not always easily verifiable through a web search. "Yunike" is a talented artist who has been steadily gaining a growing audience and has been diligently working on his music career in Portugal.
Despite my username, "Yunike1337", on Wikipedia, I understand that you may have concerns that I am the artist and have created an autobiography. To clarify, I did seek and obtain permission from the artist "Yunike" to create an article about him. My username, "Yunike1337," may suggest otherwise, but it's essential to note that I am not the artist, and my goal is to provide a balanced and informative article about "Yunike".
To support "Yunike's" notability, I am in the process of collecting independent and reliable sources that can corroborate his significance. Currently, the biography on Spotify is the primary source available, and I intend to expand the article with additional information, detailing his career, achievements, and impact on the music industry.
I kindly request that you consider postponing the deletion of the article to allow me to work on a more substantial and well-referenced version. I am committed to ensuring that the article meets Wikipedia's notability criteria.
Furthermore, I invite you to contribute suggestions or information that may be helpful in improving the article. I believe that, together, we can create an informative and valuable page about "Yunike" on Wikipedia.
Thank you for your understanding, and I am available to collaborate and discuss any concerns you may have. Please let me know if you need any additional information or have any specific guidance. Yunike1337 (talk) 18:26, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
also, I searched on my browser and I can give you a direct link.

The main argument put forward by those in favour of keeping these articles is that these people were medallists at the Asian Games, and that somehow even the top 8 finishers are supposedly eligible for their own articles on that basis alone. However, per

WP:ATHLETE
, Wikipedia's standard for including an article about a given person is not based on whether or not they have attained certain achievements, but on whether or not the person has received appropriate coverage in reliable sources, in accordance with the general notability guideline.

Per

WP:GNG
, A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

I contend that these people are not notable, because:

Seems like some early days of Wikipedia artifact, well intended perhaps but from today's perspective - bad idea. They (they, because It seems we have an entire set of "Introduction to..." articles, although they are not even categorized) fail

WP:CONTENTFORK) of proper articles (here, M-theory), are inherently problematic (who decides what belongs to the "Introduction"?) and sound like something that could belong to Simple English Wikipedia, Wikibooks or Wikiversity but not here. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:15, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply
]

  • Keep - meets policies and guidelines. Introductory articles are allowed even encouraged for complex topics that require advanced technical training.
I can understand Introduction to M-theory but not M-theory. For some perspective, I have a B.S. in a technical field plus postgraduate coursework. I enjoy reading non-mathematical physics books for laymen. I know my hadrons and leptons. Special relativity is not a problem but I don't do tensors so general relativity is murky.
Does this mean:
  1. People like me should not read stuff about M-theory?
  2. Our Introduction to M-theory article is defective because intelligent non-physicists can understand it?
  3. Our M-theory article is defective because it is too comprehensive?
  4. Wikipedia is doing a good job presenting complex technical information at different levels.
I'd argue #4.
I'll also note that the Simple English Wikipedia is not written for stupid people but rather for non-English speakers. Furthermore, sending this article off to Simple English Wikipedia Wikibooks, or Wikiversity means few people will read it since few people know about those 3 projects.

The simple english article simple:M-theory is written in a weird mishsmash and I can't figure out who the intended audience is or what the intended goals are. Parts of it read like condescending to a young child, but other parts are filled with jargon. My takeaways from the article are:
  1. the standard model involves 20 unexplained numbers but string theory has only 1
  2. string theory has 6 "basic directions" curled up in a spiral but this is just a mathematical trick that has nothing to do with the world
  3. M-theory is "vague" and "not pinned down"
  4. "by taking a Type IIA string theory that has a size R and changing the radius to 1/R the result will end up being what is equivalent to a Type IIB theory of size R" (whatever that is supposed to mean is not at all explained)
  5. "M" might stand for any of Matrix, Magic, Muffin, Mystery, Mother or Membrane.
I don't think it's an appropriate place to send readers of either of the articles under discussion here. –jacobolus (t) 06:23, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wish you'd start using common sense JMWt that merging these Antarctica stubs is the way to go, not deleting mention of them.

  • At an extreme, the information would all be merged into a section on David Range. Yes, it's common sense to do it. The encyclopedia is not better off eradicating mention of these features.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:48, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • The policy of this encyclopedia is to include things that meet the notability criteria. You've chosen to include many geographical features which not only fail to have the requisite coverage in Reliable Sources, cannot ever meet the standard because they are minor features in Antarctica that only feature on a map. That's it. JMWt (talk) 11:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • They are documented, even if briefly by a US government source which renders them worthy of mentioning. So we should do the same. It's just a case of merging information. Back in 2010 there was no way of knowing how much information would become available for these features. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:05, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        • Just having been mentioned by a government source does not mean we have to mention them anywhere. For example, all of the street-names, post-codes, and place-names (and indeed, house-names, which can be seen in the census) in the United Kingdom are recorded in government documents, but it would be ludicrous to create lists of streets/post-codes/named locations under each article dealing with the area into which they fall.

As I've said many times in the past, I don't see any reason to admonish Dr. Blofeld for having done this as it was more-or-less accepted behaviour in 2010, and they have expressed regret on numerous occasions for this. However, I have to say that redirection just isn't a solution in this case since there is nowhere credible to redirect to here, and the idea that these places should be converted into redirects is a massive impediment on doing anything about them.

    • I've long said that creating short stubs enmasse without a lot of data isn't the way to build the encyclopedia. But back in 2006-2010 it seemed the most productive thing to do for the project to function like a bot simply identifying topics and I think the project has benefited from a lot of the stubs which have been expanded on numerous subjects. You'll find that the vast majority can either be expanded or merged as I tended to create traditional encyclopedia subjects. The Antarctica geo stubs would likely all benefit from merging, perhaps there is a way to use a bot to merge many of them into parent articles. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:16, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Ok. Then perhaps you need to focus yourself on dealing with the problem - given by your own admission you are the origin of many of the problematic pages. JMWt (talk) 12:20, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        • I don't have the time needed to devote hours to Wikipedia I had 13 years back unfortunately. I would be happy to propose a bot to merge many of the stubs on lesser features into parent articles, but I think you would find that the community would expect an assessment of the notability of each article to be made first.

Agree with Dr. Blofeld it makes no sense to eradicate these features from the encyclopedia, but it would improve the encyclopedia to present the material in an enveloping article, where more context could be given. As an aside, I don't see any of these Antarctic geofeature stubs causing problems for the encyclopedia so long as the data is verified. Notability guidelines have tended to become stricter over the years and it could well have been the norm for this type of article to merit a standalone page when created.

I can't find any sources for the "Pennsylvania Rite", the first source for this brand-new article gives a 404 error[7] and nothing on that site seems to actually support the claims made here. The "Ancient York Rite" seems to be claimed by Rhode Island[8][9] or to be a more general American thing (masonry splits seem to be only matched by communist party splits, in that there are countless minute fractions all claiming to be the only true ones). But in any case there is as far as I can tell no evidence for a so-called Pennsylvania Rite[10][11][12][13].

  1. There is definitely a Pennsylvania Rite, as the article state it is the Ritual that the Grand Lodge of PA has adopted, which is completely different that the rest of the USA. Which is why it's the Pennsylvania Rite as opposed to the American or York rite. The books and articles in the sources talk about this; such as: [1][2] and this one [3] but you do not even need these sources to confirm that, look at the definition of a rite in Masonry,"A rite, within the context of Freemasonry, refers to a comprehensive system of degrees that hold the capability to initiate and advance a newcomer through various stages of Masonic knowledge and experience", case closed, this article has its place on Wikipedia.

  • Delete: only the first source referenced above (Yeager) mentions the “Ritual” (the word rite occurs in none of the three AFAICT), saying that it’s communicated only orally, and that even the attendant doctrines or lectures are never committed to writing. If true this creates an obvious problem for sourcing anything beyond the fact of its existence, which accordingly deserves at most a sentence or two in the GL/Pa article. The second source (Vicente) says nothing about practices of any kind; the third (Barratt & Sachse) describes an installation “ceremony” but I can find nothing about the content of the degree initiations. (There is one mention of an occasion at which certain individuals were re-initiated in the “antient” manner, apparently because the “modern” degrees they already held were not considered valid in this jurisdiction.)—Odysseus1479 23:50, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Beegum, California

Beegum, California (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails GEOLAND due to lack of evidence of being a legally recognised populated place.

The sources provided in the article are:

  • GNIS, which is unreliable for whether a place was populated or not per
    WP:GNIS
    .
  • Jim Forte's Postal History site, a blog. The listing there states only "Beegum (1895-1917)". Not reliably-sourced per
    WP:SPS
    , not significant coverage. Even if this can be reliably source, a post office can be situated anywhere, and were especially in the 19th and early 20th century - they could be in wayside stores, farm-houses, mines, and need not be linked to populated communities at all.
  • Tehama County Place Names by Hislop and Hughes - this is a self-published book and thus unreliable per
    WP:SPS
    . That it is self-published is evident from the fact that no publisher is identified in the book, nor does it have an ISBN despite being written in 2007. Whilst the editor who added this source identified it as being published by the "Tehama County Department of Education", in fact it was simply previously hosted on their website, likely because local school children contributed research towards it (see the acknowledgements section).
    The coverage in the source consists of two paragraphs - one discussing Beegum Peak/Creek and the post office, and the other discussing the various locations shown for Beegum in different maps. This is not significant coverage of Beegum as a community. It is notable that the fact that Beegum is described as being located in both Shasta and Tehama counties in our article appears to be due, not to the boundaries of this supposed community, but to different maps showing it in different location miles apart. Notably two of the maps discussed did not show the location.

As part of my

WP:BEFORE search I searched Newspapers.com for Beegum+Shasta and Beegum+Tehama
, however all of the results I found were related to Beegum creek or Beegum road, not to any community. If there ever was a community here, it does not seem to have attracted any coverage from any of the newspapers on newspapers.com, or if it did I have not found it.

Looking at the location given in the article, what appears to be a farm can be seen, and perhaps some ruined buildings - of what nature it is hard to say - on the other side of the Beegum road. There is not any obvious evidence of an inhabited community there, still less a legally-recognised one.

In terms of ATDs, redirecting to the county is problematic due to it not being clear which county this location is supposed to be located in. The articles about Beegum Creek and Beegum Peek do not appear to be any better in terms of notability, so redirecting to them seems dubious. Of course I'm open to suggestions but deletion seems the only obvious option unless there is sourcing I've missed. FOARP (talk) 11:19, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Geography and California. FOARP (talk) 11:19, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete Hard call. The place definitely existed; the Red Bluff Daily News had a "Beegum Notes" column in the 1910s, listing local gossip. And I can find several references to a "Beegum district", so likely more of a rural school district than a town per se. This kind of thing was once common in the American West in the pre-automobile age, rural areas organized into loosely-defined communities or districts without formal boundaries or legal definition, all sharing a church or post office or grange hall. I hate to see such places deleted from the internet, but we need better sourcing and more information to have a respectable article. (To me, the problem with Hislop and Hughes isn't that it's a SPS but that it's primary; I might accept the sources if there were other primary sources pointing in the same direction). WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 15:12, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • FOARP is still putting about xyr bunkum about a source written by two credentialled historians with advanced degrees in the subject associated with the Tehama County Genealogical & Historical Society being "local schoolchildren". I debunked this try-anything tripe, because it has ducked and weaved from angle to angle across AFD discussion to AFD discussion, at greatest length in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/El Camino, California. This argument is utter drivel. If we read the acknowledgements, we also find, for example "the staff of the Tehama County Assessor’s Office" acknowledged, but that doesn't make as nearly a convenient way of dismissing it as the patronizing "the great kids at Red Bluff Union High School and their teach Mr. Osbourne who I'm sure did a great job at their class-project for US history". We should not trust FOARP's source analysis here. The craziness of reading the acknowledgements section, not the title page where the authors actually are along with their degrees (which are indeed in history, as one can find elsewhere), and repeatedly (it has been across 4 discussions, now) trying to make out that this is schoolchidren authoring something bespeaks of a wilful mis-reading of a source. Uncle G (talk) 18:49, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Dude, seriously. I literally never said the kids authored the book. I only said that school kids contributed to it, which is true.
    • Also, speaking as someone with a Master's, let me be the first to point out that an MA is not an "advanced degree" and that having one does not make you a "credentialed historian".
    • This is a self-published source. You've made all sorts of accusations against me, but this is a self-published source. It would be great if you could engage with that. FOARP (talk) 20:19, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Of course you did. "the great kids at Red Bluff Union High School and their teach Mr. Osbourne who I'm sure did a great job at their class-project for US history" — you patronized these people for their class project, and they aren't even the authors of the work. An M.A. is in fact an advanced degree. "a university degree (such as a master's or doctor's degree) " — both Merriam-Webster and Oxford. These people got bacclauereates and masters in their fields, and then worked and published in them, and even got cited on occasion by other historians. This whole attempt to discredit a source with the whole "school kids" — "kids — false narrative is quite ludicrous. Uncle G (talk) 21:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        @Uncle G - Of course I didn’t: I’m merely pointing out that they contributed to it, which is a point against its reliability. This is evidently true and demonstrable from the source itself.
        My main objection remains that Hislop and Hughes published this themselves. Again, this is evident from the fact that no publisher is identified in the source and it has no ISBN number.
        I have no idea why you have become so fixated on this issue of this source being contributed to by school kids, to the point of repeated incivility and personal attacks. I hope you will reflect on your conduct here. I am sorry to see an admin I often agree with and whose contributions I often value behaving in this fashion.

      • Let's talk about the source cited in the article. Wait! We are, and how its authorship has been egregiously mis-represented in 4 AFD discussions over and over, as being the work of schoolchildren. Perhaps the most ridiculous thing is that by the same token one could equally credit the work to two history magazines and a county assessor's office, by this bogus method. They get thanked by the authors, too. But the reality is that the authors are right there on the title page. They are in fact two professional historians, with advanced level degrees, writing in their field of long-time expertise. (Hislop has other stuff that goes back to the 1970s.) Uncle G (talk) 21:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        @Uncle G - “professional historians”. Citation needed here. As far as I can see neither was an academic. Hislop was a high school teacher apparently - is that what you mean by “professional historian”? FOARP (talk) 07:12, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A. B., of course, everyone is welcome to use whatever tools you can find. But it seems like you are basing your entire "vote"/opinion on a current snapshot and many other editors are digging into old newspapers, historical society journals, etc. I think when we are considering places, a current photo from a satellite would provide limited information on the history of any location. I know a Google satellite image of where I live wouldn't reveal what existed in this place before the 1970s and, for all I know, the land was probably used for agriculture or a settlement or a marketplace or school or something besides the apartment building that sits in this spot right now. I just don't think it provides enough information to take a Keep/Deletion argument on. That's just what I was thinking. Liz Read! Talk! 02:59, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - my money is on the settlement (once) having existed by name, but maybe it doesn't any longer. I've found some very slight possible indications including this one by Gudde which talks of it being a settlement in the 1960s. [14] is not so clear but seems to imply a place called Beegum near the state highway. It also appears as a listing in the Times index-gazetteer of the world as a place. I think there may be more if one looked harder, and fwiw I accept the source which was under discussion above. However I don't see that there is enough information here to include it as a page. Possibly we can confirm the location, but what else can be said about it from the sources? They all say practically nothing about it. JMWt (talk) 12:25, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For completeness, I have also found in the newspaper archives references to a Post Office at Beegum - and also tangential references to it (a fire on a mountain near Beegum). My read now is that it was a collection of dwellings associated with the Platinum mine. It wouldn't surprise me if the location of the dwellings/buildings had moved over time and it's entirely possible that it consisted of the Post Office and not much else.

Let's take these sources in turn:
  • The application for a post office. This is a prediction (i.e.,
    WP:CRYSTAL
    ) and there's no indication these people all lived in the same permanent community.
  • Births/deaths. Such notices typically just give the closest named location, are sourced to family members, and don't necessarily demonstrate anyone living there.
  • On trial for murder: This rather reinforces the point that this is not a distinct community. The references are to the "Beechum section", Beegum will have been simply used as a reference point for the residence of the accused etc.
  • "Mountain mining town" - The issue here is nothing further is said to validate this "town" which would normally imply a fairly large community. It seems to reinforce the point that this was really a mine. At most there was a garage that two brothers had a dispute over, not an actual community.
  • "Copper found near Beegum" - This reinforces the point that this was probably a mine.

It makes more sense than any other redirect I can think of anyway, other than the Beegum Creek redirect discussed below, though ideally the target page should at least mention Beegum somewhere. FOARP (talk) 11:07, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Beegum Creek. The most salient feature of the Beegum area is its history in mining. Thus most of the article will end up focusing on the area's geology rather than about its history as a populated community. So, rather than continue expanding the article on Beegum, California, we should expand the article on the creek (also to avoid kicking the can down the road by requiring a merge). In light of the various pieces of coverage found so far, there isn't really a strong case for keeping two distinct articles. Cielquiparle (talk) 11:02, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Having looked in to this, I think there's SIGCOV out there for Beegum Gorge (e.g., [15], [16], [17]), which the creek flows through, so I'd agree that a redirect and then maybe a expansion at Beegum Creek and maybe renaming it to Beegum Gorge makes sense. FOARP (talk) 11:11, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There is also a LOT of coverage on Beegum Basin (distinct from Beegum Gorge). Cielquiparle (talk) 11:15, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That could work also. FOARP (talk) 11:44, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    See this is what confounds me: There was a general location that people know as "the vicinity of Beegum" that has a lot of history and physical geography associated with that one tag, Beegum. Does it need to have been a populated hamlet with 15 people and 3 houses, now or in 1915, if "Beegum, California" would serve as a handy catch-all destination for information about Beegum Creek and Beegum post office and Beegum Mining District and Beegum Gorge and Beegum Basin and the history of the dispersed people who lived in the remote and rugged area around the border of Tehama and Shasta counties?

    My current thinking is:
    • Beegum Creek article should include content on Beegum Basin (as well as mining history and even the post office if better sources are found)
    • Shasta-Trinity National Forest should include more content on Beegum Gorge

    I might just add that I'm leaning opposite for Red Bank, California and Red Bank Creek. Although "Red Bank" the human settlement is also often referred to as "Red Bank Creek", and the history of the two is obviously intertwined, in that case there seems to be enough content on the historic human settlement, such that it merits a standalone page in addition to the page about the creek and its surrounding area.

Beyond that, the highway between Beegum and Peanut – a topic discussed repeatedly between 1913 and 1933 in the California state legislature – helped to put Beegum "on the map" at the state level.

But when William Safire in the NYT calls Mikhail Gorbachev's usage of it "the most memorable line spoken" in the 1991 Soviet coup[18], it goes from being one of "zillions of idioms" to one that has sustained notability in reliable sources. Now get these noodles of yours off my ears, or else please bring me a pot of simmering marinara sauce and some garlic bread. Cheers! BBQboffingrill me 23:09, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article is no more than a dicdef, with etimologies of dubious provenance, and a bunch of use cases. But I admit this may be one of rare cases of

WP:IAR. - Altenmann >talk 16:07, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply
]

keep, as native speaker. This is really well known idiom, and widely used too.
As one from recent high-profile cases, directly related with this idiom:
news about one from regional deputy, who listened to Putin's message with noodles on his ears and posted a photo with his sarcastic commentary. As a result, he was fined 150,000 rubles (about $1,500) on the grounds of "discrediting the Russian army" (don't ask what the connection is here!). So this idiom seems quite significant. Kaganer (talk) 15:56, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, we don’t ignore any rules. This is a stable phraseological unit that has not only a “history”, it is considered by specialists. The article may not be good, but the subject matter is very significant. Книжная пыль (talk) 11:27, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable game entirely sourced off of pre-release coverage. Not coming from a place of offense, I'm mindful of

WP:NONENG argument is to be made, I'd appreciate reliable Chinese sources that have actually played and evaluated the game.

  • Delete. The article has no good sources. GameFAQs - already a dubious source - uncritically calls the game a "masterpiece". The GameSpot article is the only good source, but, as mentioned above, was released three years prior to the game's launch, and doesn't indicate notability. The third source is dead, and the fourth one is an add blurb. The article itself also seems to be of poor quality e.g. it claims that the game's Chinese name, 抗戰在線, does not translate as "Anti-Japanese War", and is simply the "correct" Chinese name for the Second Sino-Japanese War. Online translators disagree with that, and so does the Chinese Wikipedia article on that war. Cortador (talk) 21:24, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This whole policy is about the inclusion or otherwise of contentious material about living people which sometimes applies to the recently deceased.
Nobody here is arguing that there is contentious material about this recently deceased person which we should remove - the discussion is about notability.
