The result was no consensus‎. I'm just not seeing consensus here. There doesn't appear to be consensus that the awards are enough, but there is good-faith disagreement as to whether the sources are, and I'm not seeing a strong reason to give less weight to either side.

To quote the article lead:

"Decadent (Korean: 데카당) was a South Korean indie rock band. The band formed in 2016 and disbanded in 2019. Their only studio album, Decadent (2018), was nominated for the Best Modern Rock Album at the 2019 Korean Music Awards."

So we have a band. Formed. Disbanded soon after. Recorded an album. Nominated for an award. Didn't win. No chart placement, no enduring impact or influence. No critical reception. No notability. Fails WP:GNG, WP:BAND.

And, yes, a WP:BEFORE shows some initial press release derived music media coverage and nothing whatsoever beyond that. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 16:18, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:NBAND#C1/GNG is met. Such sources include [1][2][3]. Note that it seems like the album is also notable, but since they only had one major album might as well follow NOPAGE and keep it all in one article. —siroχo 22:00, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment: I lived in South Korea during their time of fame, and I know they are a famous band in the late 2010s. So I added some reliable sources to the article today. Also, ]
    For everyone information, OP was the one that created EBS Hello Rookie Contest btw so Drmies' reasoning above make sense now. They can't just say it's "major" just because they created an article and/or an article already exists so it automatically become "major" lol. Just my thoughts. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 06:19, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Paper9oll It's not just because the article was made. I'll talk about why this competition can be considered a major.
    1. This competition is hosted by a state agency.
    2. The competition is broadcast on South Korea's major broadcasting stations.
    3. Every year, the competition is covered in a reliable sources, like news
    To sum up, it's "a competition hosted by a public institution, broadcast live, recognised and influential." Even if one of these conditions is met, people usually say it's a major competition. But it has all three. This doesn't make sense if it's not a major competition. 올해의수상자 (talk) 06:24, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    And he didn't know much about this competition. And when he and I talked, this article itself didn't exist. Then I would like to judge again, @Drmies 올해의수상자 (talk) 06:27, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1. [10] Major reference - an interview with the band.
2. [11] Minor reference - this is a critical article about rock festivals in 2019, where a very small reference of the last festival they planned just before disbanding.
3. [12] The record they were nominated for the 2019 Korean Music Awards
4. [13] Major reference - an article about them, interviews with them as well.
5. [14] Major reference - Herald Corporation article, featuring them.
6. [15] Major reference - article by webzine Weiv, and the writer Na Wonyoung is a prominent professional music critic. (link with reference to him (Na Wonyoung) [16][17])
7. [18] Controversial - main or minor references depend on people's judgment. This is an introduction to Marie Claire's 2017 Korean indie albums.
8. [19] Minor reference - article about the Pentaport Rock Festival Super Rookie final winning 3 teams performing at Pentaport Rock Festival. It's an article that the band is one of those three teams, and the reference isn't long.
9. [20] Major reference - a band-themed article. And Seojeongmingab, who wrote the article, is a prominent music critic. (link with reference to him (Seojeongmingab) [21][22][23])
10. [24] Controversial - main or minor references depend on people's judgment. One of their songs was made into a stop-motion music video, and there is an explanation about it.
11. [25] Minor reference - about the EBS Hello Rookie Contest they participated in, but not too long
12. [26] Major reference - also about the EBS Hello Rookie Contest they participated in. There's a long story about them. Of course it's up to people to decide whether to judge for a major competition, but I would say this is a major competition based on the reasons I wrote it down. (The source that this competition can be seen as a major competition [27][28])
13. [29] Minor reference - this is an article about the solo career of a band vocalist. The reference to the band is not long.
14. [30] The record they were nominated for the 2020 Korean Music Awards 올해의수상자 (talk) 09:18, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a borderline case. Interviews with the band are not
    WP:THREE is satisfied here. First, the VOP reference is six paragraphs dedicated to Decadent's career and the evolution of its musical style. Second, there's the Herald Economy. The second half is an interview with the band, but the first eight paragraphs are an introduction written by the journalist. Third, Weiv is another piece that delves into the band's musical style to a degree significant enough that I believe meets the threshold of "significant coverage". This seems like enough to satisfy any concerns about notability. plicit 02:48, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply

Semi-advertorialized article about a hip hop musician, not

WP:NMUSIC. The main attempt at a notability claim is that he "is credited with having the first crossfade mixer in the Bronx", which might be valid if it were properly sourced to media coverage to establish it as significant, but is in no way "inherently" notable enough to override the absence of valid sourcing -- but the only source here is the proprietary website of an online store selling Kool DJ Dee merch, which is obviously not independent third party coverage of him.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have far, far better sourcing than just his own self-created web presence. Bearcat (talk) 12:45, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply

Thank you for taking the time to review my article. I noted your kind feedback and have already added a number of book citations in order to present a wider selection or sources.

WP:SIRS
. Most of this is churnalism based on press releases or company supplied information.

1. Business Weekly, routine announcement with information being supplied by the company. It is an announcement of it opening a new location. The wording is even promotional, which indicates churnalism of a press release – “Established in 2009 in Gjøvik, Norway, Dolphitech was formed from a desire to push the limits of non-destructive testing. Driven by a multi skilled R & D team of experts from academia and industry, the company is constantly exploring the capability and application of cutting-edge ultrasonics, bringing proven solutions to market that are easy to deploy and simple to operate.” – Also, this is churnalism (see assessment of reference #9 below).
2. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing via ScienceDirect, an academic paper which has a single mention of one of the company’s products. Nothing about the company itself so not significant coverage.
3. Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt, another academic paper. This one talks about comparison of two of the company’s DolphiCam and that they come from the company. Nothing in-depth about the company itself.
4. Windpower Engineering & Development, Churnalism. This is from a press release which can found (in whole, or “churnalized”) here and here.
5. Composites, more churnalism and not independent. In addition to being a routine announcement, the author of this piece is employed by the company which shows it was likely a press release or that they supplied all of the information for the publication.
6. Manualslib, this is a user manual for one of its products. I do not see how this could be used for notability.
7. Unable to access. This is a sharepoint document titled “THOR Release Notes” which indicates it is not independent.
8. Reinforced Plastics via ScienceDirect, another academic paper. This one states at the top “Jan Olav Endrerud of DolphiTech describes the development of such as system.” Not independent and the article itself is about its DolphiCam and not the company.
9. BINDT, more churnalism or a routine announcement for the company opening a location in the UK. Note that this is the exact same information as reference #1 above.
10. The Epi Centre, same churnalism as #1 and #9. Same information about a routine announcement, same date range, and information likely supplied as a press release or solely from the company.
11. Unternehmensregister, I will concede that I have no idea what this site is or what it is representing for the article. However, there is no content and not in English so I cannot navigate. On its face, I see nothing about the company.
12. CR.gov, a PDF with a listing of a bunch of companies, simply verifying the existence of this company. Nothing in-depth.
13. Dolphitech, this is the company’s “contact” page of its website. Not independent.
14. Book, a book excerpt which on its face appears to be significant. However, it does not talk about the company, just the project. In addition, the authors of the except have email address listed which are to the company (not independent and not significant about the company).
15. Book, another book but this is NOT about the company. I cannot even find where it talks about the product.
16. Indian Defence Review, More churnalism and routine announcement. Reads like a press release and is even marked being writing by “IDR News Network.”

For those who believe that the article on the company should be kept because of the product, that should never be the case. Notability is not inherent. If a product is notable, it should stand on its own. Same for the company. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:01, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a clear consensus against having a biographical article specifically about Louk, but there is no consensus as to whether her kidnapping is notable, or if the article should be redirected or merged to

concurrent RM (permalink). This close does not preclude renominating that article for deletion immediately, and such a discussion, if it occurs, will be much more focused than what this has become and will hopefully lead to a clearer consensus.

This article fails

WP:BLP1E
. Going through the criteria:

  • If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event. checkY She has been covered only for having been kidnapped as part of the Re'im music festival massacre.
  • If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. checkY She is a tattoo artist who has never been any sort of public figure.
  • If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. checkY Although the massacre as a whole is clearly significant, her role in it was not substantial, as she was one of hundreds of casualties. The use of or in the guideline means that this is sufficient to fulfill this criterion.

@Beccaynr: The Die Zeit piece is a retrospective piece about Shani Louk's case in the context of the broader hostage situation and has "Shani Louk" positioned on top of the title.—Alalch E. 16:45, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
From my view, the Die Zeit piece, based on a Google translation, seems to emphasize the limited information available about Louk at this time, and a focus on the broader hostage context without specific reference to Louk. The piece includes interviews with her family members, in the context of limited information available and various reasons why information is limited. Beccaynr (talk) 17:32, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The headline is not what you said, that is only the subheadline. The headline is "The desperate search for the smallest trace" next to a portrait of Louk's mother, clearly referencing the widely publicized case of Shani Louk. So widely publicized that there's no need to even state the name, but for those readers who have missed the news, there is "Shani Louk" spelled out on top of the headline. About 80% of the article is about her case. —Alalch E. 22:52, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point, but I just mentioned Floyd and Sánchez to illustrate that it is not always necessary to be a public figure before. Determining/measuring the level of relevance is always difficult. Floyd's relevance and Sánchez's relevance are not at the same level; however, I consider that both require encyclopedic coverage. On the other hand, you have state that "She is no more a symbol that any other person involved in this war"; I respect your point of view, but I have to say that she (Shani Louk) is the only kidnapped person in this war whose name is known to me, because she has had a significant coverage, superior to the coverage that has been given to other civilians involved in this war. Salvabl (talk) 10:46, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No it is not. Professional historians would never create such an article like this, because it is far too soon to determine if she historically significant and that is reflected in how poor the references are.

Your statement make no sense and is a completly arbitary and non-standard way of looking at notability. The fact her name is known is not histrically significant and no reflected in modern history and how is it documented. scope_creepTalk 19:45, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Sabine Wren is a major character with notability extending beyond the in-universe plotline. The article should be marked as a stub with much potential for expansion, as it does not consider most of her storyline in Ahsoka. Also, Comment:

 Comment: @TNstingray The current content in the article was directly copied from the draft article by IP user 81.34.93.251 (without attribution), who then proceeded to blank out the draft (although its content has been restored later). I think a history merge might be applicable here if the current content in the article was to be kept.

A bot-created article by Kotbot, a bot run by retired user Kotniski. The location in the article is empty forest.

The only source in the article is a link to the Teryt database (the Polish equivalent of

GNIS), using the SIMC code from the Polish version of the article I find a listing that says, in machine translation, that Kraklewo/Klaklewo is a part of the village of Karpno, something I also confirmed from the Polish regulation list place-names (część wsi Karpno). We already have an article about Karpno, Bytów County
. Kraklewo appears to be a non-descript location and not obviously inhabited. The article is incorrect in saying it is a settlement - that would be an osada under Polish law, but it is not classified as that. There is nothing more to say about it than that it is a location on the map.

Fails

WP:NOPAGE. I'm agnostic over whether this should be deleted or redirected to Karpno - the name is at least not something that could plausibly be used for something else, and is part of Karpno. On the other hand we should not simply create redirects for every named location in a village. There is no content to merge, though. FOARP (talk) 19:10, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply

Thanks! I found the article and it's not clear which Hawk Ravine it's talking about.

Sorry, I didn't realized that had changed. As a workaround, you can login through your free personal newspapers.com account after opening it from Wikipedia library and take a clipping of the article. Then, go to the non-Wiki [www.newspapers.com] page, login, go to your Clippings and you'll find the clipping with a shareable link.

  • as it stands, delete The problem that is obvious to me is that there's nothing here that is inconsistent with Hawk Ravine being, well, a ravine, which is to say a larger area more or less identified with a physical feature. GNIS is bad at this because the people drawing up the maps weren't all that good at it either, so going back after the fact and trying to puzzle out what the map makers meant is even less reliable. This is exactly why passing references made to locate businesses or whatever aren't any good, and in the case of a mine, more often than not the mine isn't in the town if there is one because people don't want to live in the middle of an industrial site. We know that there's some place called "Hawk Ravine", but we don't actually know what it is; we need sources that spell out what it is in enough detail to make it clear that the authors aren't just making the same kind of assumptions that are showing up here. Mangoe (talk) 12:58, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A bot-created article by Kotbot, a bot run by retired user Kotniski. The location in the article is an empty field with a couple of what appear to be barns nearby.

The only source in the article is a link to the Teryt database (the Polish equivalent of

GNIS), using the SIMC code
from the Polish version of the article I find a listing that says, in machine translation, that Osowo Małe is a settlement (Osada) in the Gmina of Lipnica - no other information than this is provided. Osada under Polish law are not required to be inhabited and can be part of other settlements. Typically they are just individual buildings/farms, but sometimes there is nothing at the location.

This location is not a village (that would be listed as a wieś, not an osada), nor is it a hamlet (that would be a przysiółek), there is no evidence of inhabitation and good reasons to think it is not inhabited (there is nothing at the indicated location, the buildings near it don't appear inhabited).

Merging is pointless as the only accurately and reliably sourced information in the article is the name. No reliable source is provided for the location, for example.

In terms of redirection, there is no obvious redirect target -

This unreferenced article seems to fail

WP:NBOOK (don't be misled by footnotes - they are all notes). The article is just a plot summary, catalogue information, and said notes (OR commentary). My BEFORE failed to find anything but passing mentions (the best one is a paragraph in Gizmodo here, but I think it is not enough per SIGCOV and like). Per ATD I suggest redirecting this to the anthology it was published in (War of the Worlds: Global Dispatches), which seems notable. Said anthology had a number of reviews, some of wich likely mention the story - there is a tiny chance this could be salvaged if anyone could access them. The one I found here sadly fails SIGCOV with regards to this story. ISFDb notes that the story has been reprinted in several venues ([52]) but lists no reviews. For now, I fear the dedicated entry for this can just exist on fandom (https://lovecraft.fandom.com/wiki/To_Mars_and_Providence).

The result was Draftify‎. GEOROAD is not a pass to ignore the overarching policy, which is that content must be verifiable. If we genuinely only one source and that only tells us the length then this not only fails the GNG but we can only source a single line in any article.

The SNG makes it clear that not all roads fall under it so a draft while sources are found would be much better than leaving OR up.

The Roads editors would really benefit from being prepared to move all these stubby articles into regional lists. It's going to take all the drama out and my experience over many years and very much recently is that if you force the community to choose between an SNG or the GNG/N then the SNG loses every time.

  • Comment - lean towards draft - this is one of those occasions when every solution is wrong. If we delete, then we appear to be using a standard which wouldn't be acceptable for roads almost all European or NAmerican countries. If we keep, we are allowing a lot of content to remain on the page unverified. There are some indications that there may be more information offline - part of the road was apparently funded by the World Bank, it appears to be referred to in Nigerian Federal Law etc. Is it enough? I don't know. It doesn't even seem possible to establish how important this road is and how much traffic uses it - so I'm thinking we should probably draft until basic verification can be done.

WP:N, it is not worth a standalone article. If the character is not notable, I suggest a redirect and/or merge to List of Criminal Minds characters#David Rossi. Spinixster (chat!) 14:32, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply
]

Just because something has a lot of sources does not mean that it is inherently notable. This would technically count as ]
Here are 10 different sources. I'm not saying this is going to be a featured article, but this should be more than sufficient to pass GNG.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 15:53, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but this seems like nothing more than trivial coverage for fans of the show; we need to look for something which provides some kind of examination of the character and demonstrates that he is something other than just another recurring character on the show. Some critical analysis would do the trick. Willbb234 23:31, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am not aware of any guideline which tells us to disregard sources which are aimed at fans of a show. But you’re entitled to your view. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 00:00, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reviewing the sources...
  • First source is both a plot summary and an interview.
  • Second source is an interview.
  • Third source is quoted from an interview.
  • Fourth source is quoted from an interview.
  • Fifth source is a plot summary.
  • Sixth source is a sneak peek of the show.
  • Seventh source is an interview about the character's comeback.
  • Eighth source is an interview about the character's departure.
  • Ninth source is a teaser about the character's romance. CinemaBlend is listed as unreliable in
    WP:VG/S
    either way so it shouldn't be used.
  • Tenth source is a plot summary for the final episode.
Overall, you will need non-trivial sources that talk extensively about the character. Interviews (which are primary) and plot summaries aren't going to cut it. Sources that prove the character's significance outside of the show will. Spinixster (chat!) 09:50, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't 'need' anything. And if you want to hold TV character pages to this high of a standard, I advise you to get started, because there are hundreds of pages you missed. Not to mention movie, book, and comic characters. I know "other stuff exists" but let's be real. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 12:40, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"This high of a standard" is wrong; Wikipedia has always had "high" standards for pages. This rule even applies to non-fictional elements, in fact, it's already listed in
WP:GNG. It's just that only a few people check these pages and actively check if they are notable, and if I nominate the "hundreds of pages I missed" at the same time, AfD would be overwhelmed. Spinixster (chat!) 15:06, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete: Never had any sources. Is wikilinked from just 5 articles using the term "international development consulting" (no caps) as if it is a generic phrase. The external link to "official website" goes to ICF, previously known as "Inner City Fund" and doesn't use the term "international development consulting". In fact, the phrase itself is self-defining. I posit that it is not a company, and is perhaps a category of types of companies or NGOs, but certainly not a category/type that is notable enough for its own Wikipedia article. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 09:44, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Since this seems to meet
    WP:MUSIC's sense of one of the more important labels, I'm leaning towards keep on this one, certainly until we hear from someone who speaks Norwegian and argues a lack of coverage. Chubbles (talk) 02:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    No consensus exists to the application of NMUSIC to record labels, which is generally presumed to fall under NCORP. Graywalls (talk) 22:44, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    He's not saying this to me, as he has said it to me before; he's saying it to all of you. But he's not correct on this. There is no general presumption of this, though he has pursued the establishment of such a general presumption. Regular editors in music have never applied NCORP to labels, certainly not with any consistency; this is generally only done by editors interested in corporations who are asked to weigh in on labels. I've noted before that it makes no sense to ignore WP:MUSIC, which does mention labels, when determining label notability, and I've also argued that it makes much more sense to consult music experts rather than business experts to determine encyclopedic merit in this realm. I guess you all can vote your conscience on that one. Chubbles (talk) 06:34, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Wiki Project music was copied on those, at least in my last discussion. The general notability guidelines recognize subject specific notability standards, such as those for geographical places, professors and bands/ensembles. The key distinction is that your novel interpretation to apply bands/ensembles (NBAND) to record labels is not recognized and scribed into guidelines with broad consensus. I suggested you RfC this but I see you didn't follow thorugh. Graywalls (talk) 16:08, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It's not a novel interpretation;
    WP:MUSIC, which already has broad consensus, has read that way for many years, and as I have stated before multiple times, it's silly to ignore guidelines written by subject matter experts when discussing that subject matter. The same three people keep having the same argument at every deletion discussion. This is performance for a new audience rather than productive debate. Chubbles (talk) 03:24, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete The current consensus is that record labels are a company/organization and falls under
    WP:NMUSIC. This article subject company fails to meet NCORP, therefore, it should be removed from the encyclopedia. Graywalls (talk) 07:22, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply
