Christopher Del Borrello

Christopher Del Borrello (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)

Del Borrello has run for a lot of positions, but has never won anything. There's lots about his family, his political positions, his endorsements and contributions, but there is no claim of notability and none of the reliable and verifiable sources needed to back up that claim in the article itself, nor could I find anything more in a Google search. Alansohn (talk) 23:04, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I believe that the sources present are both reliable and verifiable, as many are from popular sources that are verified as unbiased. His coverage in the media should be more than enough to meet WP:GNG. Antny08 (talk) 00:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Unelected candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — the notability test at
    WP:GNG that would exempt them from having to meet NPOL — every candidate in every election everywhere on earth always gets some campaign coverage, so if that were how it worked then every candidate would get that exemption and NPOL itself would never apply to anybody anymore. So campaign coverage only functions as a bypass around NPOL if it demonstrates a credible reason to treat his candidacy as a special case of significantly greater notability than everybody else's candidacies, but that hasn't been shown here at all. Bearcat (talk) 23:50, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

    He also is the CCO of the DelBorrello group, a banking institution in Philadelphia. Antny08 (talk) 17:00, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Which is still not "inherently" notable in its own right. Even business executives still have notability criteria that they have to surpass, and are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist. Bearcat (talk) 17:03, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unelected politicians need to be notable for something other than being a candidate, since almost all candidates get coverage - and he is not (his stint as a hyper local politician does not count.) SportingFlyer T·C 13:15, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    He is the CCO of the Del Borrello group. Antny08 (talk) 17:07, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Rather ridiculous to think that we should have articles on people because they're compliance officers of small family businesses. CCOs of even massive corporations don't get articles, that's not a notable position, and that's not what sources focus on. There are a lot of losing candidates, and we can't have articles on them because there's some routine coverage of every campaign leading up to the election. Election campaign-related information is welcome to be added to 2023_New_Jersey_Senate_election#District_4. Reywas92Talk 20:02, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete this article about an unelected political candidate. There is no plausible claim of notability as a business executive. Bearcat and SportingFlyer have analyzed things well. Cullen328 (talk) 21:59, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete The reason for "delete" is that 95% of the sourcing is about the failed election bid and there is no solidly GNG source. The "weak" is because there is a bit a coverage about other topics, as well as some prominence of this election evidenced in sources which might put it into "edge case" territory with respect to the norm of how the standard is applied.

I would have have draftified this but there is already a draft. This article was a Frankenstein’s monster of religious fancruft, repeated material and appalling referencing. I removed unsourced material and then went through all the refs. Most were utter nonsense that had nothing to do with the article subject, or just mentioned his name but did not support the content of the article. There are only three sources left. One is not independent and I can’t access the other two. I’m prepared to believe that the subject may indeed be notable, but if they are this very poor article does them no favours.

  • Delete. Non-notable person. It is a recreation of an article that has been to AFD twice before.

Both would be considered reliable I believe, but The Times reference would not be considered
WP:CORPDEPTH as it does go beyond a routine announcement by providing background on the company. Are there any others as even if these both were found sufficient, not sure they would be enough for notability. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:47, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

The Daily Mirror is also a British national newspaper, much less reliable than The Times (cf
WP:DAILYMIRROR) and I would be suspicious of anything controversial that it said, but I would think it's reliable for the uncontroversial claims in this article, which is again already listed as a source. The article seems to be about the founders, but it's got quite a bit of depth about the business.—S Marshall T/C 22:31, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

Thanks for reviewing and notifying of the deletion proposal. I tried to only use secondary sources that meet the standards for credibility. Although I do agree with you that some feel promotional, as far as I could tell none were advertorials, product placements etc, and were more just positive skewed coverage. I did try and balance the article and remove any overall bias in the article by proactively seeking out critical sources also.

Lira honestly and accurately reported on the corruption and brutality of the Zelensky regime being propped up by Biden. He was arrested, tortured and murdered by the Ukranians for his beliefs and being one of the very few to present an opposing point of view to the US State Department narrative.. And even if one disagrees with that assessment, he had a large following on YouTube and if Wiki can mention the passing of other YT 'stars' and product influencers as well as the deaths of horses, turtles, manatees, etc as done in the past, it can mention Lira's biography as well 2601:58C:C180:4E10:6586:AFB9:C125:3204 (talk) 18:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Ukrainian war and its propaganda are controversial enough to require special handling in and of themselves. This is a BLP whose best sources call the man a liar and a shill, and that's before we start looking at a plurality of the sources, if not a majority being unreliable, and what appears to be some very organized coordination happening somewhere.

TF1, etc, etc. (And Afds should be about deletion not cleanup)-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 21:08, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The El Pais piece is sourced directly to Sputnik (news agency). The Helsinki Times article is obviously not reliable for reasons I have already laid out in the article talk page ("Zelensky regime" "eight years of bombing of the civilian population of Donbas by Kyiv"). The "Horo do Povo" article is also obviously unreliable: it describes Lira uncritically as a "journalist" and contains "Kyiv regime" in its headline and again appears to rely entirely on Sputnik for a source. Other sterling journalism from this paper is a headline about "Fascist Netanyahu". TF1 appear to be reliable though, but again, its just debunking Tucker Carlson.--Ermenrich (talk) 21:43, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Mushy Yank) 22:11, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    ...and I bet I can show how each one of them is also an unreliable source. "Zelenskyy regime", uses Sputnik as a source, uncritically uses Carlson, Lira himself, and Alex Rubinstein as sources of information. I can't access the final one, as it's behind a paywall, but I'm sure it would be the same.--Ermenrich (talk) 22:25, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    TF1 is probably the best source there, but it's basically fact checking other sites, so isn't strictly about Lira. Newsweek, El Pais aren't acceptable for the reason listed. Daily Beast isn't a reliable source. Unsure of the Helskinki Times article. I'm not seeing notability with these sources. Oaktree b (talk) 14:51, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This article seems to have been restored entirely because of the news of Lira's death. But death does not confer notability. If he was non-notable before he died, he's still non-notable afterward. And the vast majority of reporting about him seems to be from very unreliable sources.

    The sources above (from me) and below (from Bedivere) show that he was notable (as an author) prior to his death.
    > the vast majority of reporting about him seems to be from very unreliable sources
    Notability is based on an evaluation of the reliable sources. The existence of unreliable sources, in any volume, does not imply that a subject is non-notable. Jfire (talk) 00:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Same reasons as last four times and other comments above. As User:Redxiv points out death does not confer notability - if he didn’t pass notability last four times then probably still doesn’t. As User:Ermenrich points out, the closest we have to an actual RS here is Newsweek which… isn’t an RS (though some people mistakenly think it is because it once was… like 15 years ago). The rest is junk like Sputnik or its derivatives or other obscure sources. This guy was/is well known within certain online circles but that’s not enough for an encyclopedia article.

Keep, although we need to watch out for biased sources so as to maintain NPOV. Even prior to the attention he received recently, Lira passed NAUTHOR. And contrary to what some people suggested, I think his involvement in the Ukraine situation definitely is relevant to his notability.

  • Weak delete. He certainly does not pass
    WP:AUTHOR: no, he is not regarded as an important figure by his peers or successors; his books being reviewed is not really a proof. However, he might pass our general criteria as someone who appears in multiple sources. But most of these sources are weak, as noted, for example, by Oaktree just above and some others. He also does not appear as anyone of significance other than promoting a ridiculous misinformation and being arrested.

Simply listing the sources, as some people do above on this page, is not enough. One should check what they say about the subject. For example, I noticed a NYT article. It says "Alex Jones, the American conspiracy theorist who often spreads lies on his Infowars platform, during his online show on Monday suggested that Ukraine would detonate a dirty bomb within its borders and then blame Russia as “a pretext to bring NATO fully into the conflict” and start World War III. “My analysis is, about 90 percent at this point, that there’s going to be full-on public war with Russia, and at least a tactical nuclear war in Europe,” ... And on YouTube, Gonzalo Lira, an American commentator who lives in Ukraine, said that “all the evidence” pointed to a “deliberate provocation that is being staged by the Americans.”. Such mention does count as a citation of Lira, but it says little of substance beyond noticing that Lira repeated/supported the claim by Alex Jones who is indeed a notable conspiracy theorist.

Reviewing the telegram and subsequent youtube does not prove doxxing of other journalist during the initial phases of invasion of Russian forces. Also the claim that he did sent the positions of the troops to tiktok is not that easy to believe as he did not have tiktok channel and there is no evidence of that, there are points in the article that are not provable altough the fact that he was prosecuted in the ukraine remains important. For definition of doxxing I am using [1] maybe going through all the evidence of the ideas of the author he presented [2] and making the article more detailed would certainly improve the quality and lower the biased citations that stand contrary to the alredy established definition on wikipedia e.g. the doxing article Krypto Švejk (talk) 21:04, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Scope creep: Note the recent Arbcom request for modification of the sourcing expectations for the Antisemitism in Poland topic area. I advocated extending it to the Holocaust in Lithuania as they did but also to eastern Europe in general, which seemed to get some support, except that it's difficult to enunciate a standard for the war in Ukraine in particular beyond saying (me) that it is a HUGE problem.

Keep. Lira is notable by the sheer amount of literature about his passing, though he was quite famous even before. There are many newspaper publications about him from 2022 and earlier.

How a Sleazy American Dating Coach Became a Pro-Putin Shill in Ukraine." There is controversy about Lira going way back to alleged sexual predation at Dartmouth. Lira is whatever you want him to be depending on your worldview.

Comment: I appreciate all the good faith feedback and discussion here, I’ve come to agree the original article needed improvement and my submitting it was premature. However I and other editors have now worked on it quite a bit so I’d like to request any decision be taken with these changes in mind. I more than ever believe the article adequately demonstrates notability (has a good number of reliable sources, and tons of articles on Wikipedia are of far less significant people), so it should not be deleted, especially given how different the previous four AfD submissions were. JSwift49 03:01, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The request for deletion is clearly a politically-motivated attempt to "memory-hole" relevant historical events and a public figure, however minor or unpopular, who has actively contributed in SIGNIFICANT measure to reporting and discussion of events leading up to and during the Ukrainian/Russian conflict from 2014-2023. The fact that he was a dissenting voice outside the MSM makes his reporting more relevant, not less so. Moreover, as the manner of his incarceration and death, foretold by Lira himself at the end of July, 2023, possibly or even likely involves crimes and human rights violations by both Ukrainian and US authorities, the request to delete, particularly at this time, is a clear attempt to hide the circumstances of his death and to censor dissent; to deny the public ready access to significant factual historical information. The page should not only be retained, but expanded, improved and ELEVATED in significance, at least until the Ukrainian conflict is settled. Whoever requested deletion, particularly at this moment when the circumstances of his death are still an active topic of discussion in the public realm, should probably have their own significance and moral integrity questioned. — Preceding

'Single purpose account' everyone knows what you are doing now. You are not arguing in good faith and cannot address any of the points as your sealioning trolling has been called out.
Fact is, you don't need an account to edit a lot of Wikipedia articles.
Where is your scrutiny towards the sources of the Ashton-Cirollo article?
Like I said already that article is all Daily Beast, Twatter, Fox News Las Vegas, and LGBT tabloid magazines. Their article still should not be deleted, but I don't see the usual suspects on here trying to brigade delete this article doing the same there...
Also, your opinion doesn't matter if you think GL is distasteful, many people find Scott Ritter distasteful (convicted sex offender), does that mean that they should not have a Wikipedia article?

scope_creepTalk 12:30, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment German reader here again, I find this evaluation a bit odd.
1. "Its likely non-rs." Wouldn't a reason here be warranted? Why is it "likely non-rs"?
5. "Its a passing mention, in reaction to another story." The name "Lira" is mentioned 8 times throughout the article in 7 different paragraphs. GPT-3.5 summarizes the article as follows: "Gonzalo Lira's blog post on Business Insider accused Paul Krugman of suggesting war as a fiscal solution to the economy, which was widely criticized and labeled as "totally batshit insane" by economists. Business Insider eventually pulled the post, acknowledging that it distorted Krugman's actual stance. Krugman responded, reaffirming his Keynesian position on government spending. The incident tarnished both Lira and Business Insider's reputation." Presenting this as a "passing mention" seems quite inaccurate.
7. "Seems to be some question of propagating a lie about a non-existant video." This is a 4,000 words article about Lira. GPT-3.5 summary: "Gonzalo Lira, a former manosphere YouTuber known as Coach Red Pill, has shifted his content from relationship advice to pro-Russian commentary on the Ukraine conflict. Presenting himself as an objective observer, Lira makes wild claims against Ukrainian President Zelensky, supports Russian narratives, and spreads debunked conspiracy theories. Despite gaining followers, experts dismiss his views as nonsense, and some suspect he may be indirectly compensated by Russia. Lira's transformation aligns with broader trends in the manosphere's entanglement with far-right networks and their alignment with pro-Russian sentiments. Critics suggest his pivot may be driven by a desire to remain relevant amid growing deplatforming concerns in the manosphere." Claiming the text is merely about "a non-existant video" seems highly inaccurate.
8. "Single para is passing mention." He's mentioned in two paragraphs, not one.
9. "Short para, taken from Twitter. Its non-rs." The text consists of 5 paragraphs. The name "Lira" is mentioned 5 times in 4 paragraphs and 10 times in total.
11. "Article built from Twitter and Youtube." The first paragraph is about Tucker Carlson and his claims about Lira. So this statement seems already inaccurate.
I know we are supposed to "assume good faith", but these distortions appear a little too consistent and severe to be accidental misreadings. So I can only assume some kind of agenda at work here.

Mentioning what xyz person said in a blog post doesn't help establish notability. Even being mentioned in TWO paragraphs isn't helping. Please don't use ChatGPT to summarize articles either. Oaktree b (talk) 16:48, 18 January 2024 (UTC) [reply]
"Mentioning what xyz person said in a blog post doesn't help establish notability."
I never claimed that it did. Pointing out that Lira is mentioned 8 times in 7 different paragraphs and is at the subject's center contradicts the claim of "a passing mention".
"Even being mentioned in TWO paragraphs isn't helping."
I never claimed that it helps establishing notability. Pointing out that Lira is mentioned in two paragraphs contradicts the claim that he is mentioned in one paragraph. I intended to correct a false claim, indicating a general pattern of distortion.
"Please don't use ChatGPT to summarize articles either."

I'm discussing the sources. If they don't establish notability, there is no point discussing them. Chat GPT is an unreliable source per wikipedia. So none of the sources discussed are useful, no matter how many times they mention Lira is the conclusion to be drawn. If you've so much as agreed the sources don't help notability, I can't see what the issue is. Oaktree b (talk) 18:25, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Even if it's a non-passing mention, the source isn't reliable, so it shouldn't matter how it is used. I can't see that any of these sources discussed are helpful in proving notability here to be honest. Oaktree b (talk) 18:28, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My criticism is that the source analysis misrepresents the sources. For example, claiming that reference number 5 (Salon) constitutes "a passing mention" seems false, considering that Lira is mentioned 8 times in 7 paragraphs and is at the center of the subject. This seems also the case for reference number 7 (The Daily Beast). I'm not sure how I can make this clearer. As for the sources' reliability, I am reading here that "there is no consensus on the reliability of Salon" and that "there is no consensus on the reliability of The Daily Beast." According to the source analysis the "Daily Beast is generally considered to be reliable." 2A01:C22:9142:6A00:C26:1006:4237:8B7 (talk) 19:07, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Scope creep, Some things about your evaluation don't make sense to me:
4: While the article is an interview, it also contains five paragraphs of the reporter writing about Lira before the interview itself. So that is secondary coverage as well as primary. Major Chilean newspaper,
WP:GNG
.
5: The article is about Lira's op-ed and the fallout from it, not merely a 'passing mention'. Salon isn't considered unreliable according to the "Perennial source" list. Why couldn't it contribute to
WP:GNG
?
7: I agree with the above commenter, reducing it to be about a 'non-existing video' question is not a summary of the article's contents, the article is much broader in scope. Why not
WP:GNG
?
9: The article is not merely "sourced from Twitter". It is sourced from the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in which they state that Lira is missing and that they are searching for him, article also states relatives haven't spoken to him (which wasn't from Twitter), the only Twitter sourcing is when they describe Lira's Twitter posts. Given it's a major independent Chilean newspaper,
WP:GNG
.

Also
11: I understand that it's Ukrainian state news and the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security wrote their rationale for detaining Lira, but why is that unreliable for merely ascertaining what that rationale was?
13: When Twitter is mentioned in the Newsweek article, it is not taken as fact but rather it reports what people posted on Twitter in context. I'd agree with you if the article was taking what was posted on Twitter as fact, but by your standard, how could reliable sources discuss anything people put on Twitter?

There are also many other sources that in my opinion clearly count towards
WP:GNG
, including:

There has also been substantial Ukrainian media coverage, including
KyivPost [76], paragraphs in NBC/NYT articles, or dedicated coverage in FOX News, The Bulwark, Europa Press, The Week, The Times of India, Berliner Zeitung, though even if we want to exclude or qualify some or all of these sources in the article, the list above should more than suffice for keeping the article on Wikipedia.

All mentioned are in the article and easily searchable. Regardless the ones I didn't link aren't integral to WP:GNG JSwift49 23:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're talking about the list above???? I have not yet looked at the Chilean sources, so put them aside for a moment. The majority of the English-language sources are dubious at best, and TF1, on a quick reading, seems to say you cannot believe anything at all the man says. This may not be coming across in machine translation, which at last check had trouble with French verb structures for reporting something untrue. You would be well advised however to compare your list to Perennial Sources, since several of those you are citing are declared unreliable there, or reliable only for "culture". That might possibly cover his dating advice on YouTube, maybe, but does not extend to political and military claims, even if they are made by a dating coach. Elinruby (talk) 09:51, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
TF1 is debunking what Musk and Carlson said about Lira, and the fact they covered the controversy at all demonstrates Lira’s notability. NY Daily News, Independent, EFE/Swissinfo are all reliable and dedicated coverage. Insider, Daily Beast, Newsweek are marked as “no consensus”, not unreliable. But even if you exclude all of them the four above plus Chilean/Ukrainian in-depth coverage, book reviews and lesser coverage in other outlets including NBC/NYT clearly satisfy WP:GNG JSwift49 13:00, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Independent is questionable. It's green, yes, but check the comments. I've left it alone for now as tag-bombing is discouraging and some other stuff was worse. Also check out the comments about the Daily News. I am starting to think everyone involved in this article needs a contentious topics notification. We don't do tabloids in this topic area. It's not supposed to be about how much you can get away with. Elinruby (talk) 16:33, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source table of these six sources

I've looked at the 6 sources presented above, one good one, rest are partials for helping notability here, I still don't see GNG being met. No changes in my !vote. Oaktree b (talk) 21:03, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i would argue the Independent article is reasonably in-depth and doesn't just discuss the Tweets, it discusses the general situation including implications for the White House, and Business Insider also says a lot more. Besides, "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Adding some:
NY Daily News: [77]
La Tercera (major Chile newspaper): [78][79][80] (last link should be included as there are several paragraphs written about him before the interview)
More Daily Beast coverage: [81][82]
Europa Press: [83]
New Voice of Ukraine: [84][85][86]
CNN Chile: [87]
KyivPost: [88]
Mala Espina: [89]

Hill TV: [90] (reliable source but video is opinion-y, not sure if this counts as a contributor/how much editorial oversight since these were permanent hosts of the 'Rising' show)
The Bulwark: [91][92] (same thing as Hill, the source is opinion, not sure how much oversight, though I do think it contributes to notability)

I think this combined with all the book reviews, plus the shorter mentions of significance in NBC, NYT, United Press International etc. satisfies it just fine. I could even include TASS' story on Maria Zakharova's response to Lira's death since TASS is considered reliable for quotes from Russian politicians. [93] JSwift49 00:32, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with posting lots of these links in many of them either are of significant e.g. death notices, or only generarted because of the interest of Musk and Carlson.

    There is perhaps a story about his death while in detention, but there isn't much strictly about the event, and what we have is mostly fact-checking of the narrative around him.

WP:THREE is an essay and the guy who created it said people kept misusing it. His personal essay says he isn't going to read through a dozen sources, three are enough to convince him.
For notability, two is enough.
WP:GNG
clearly states "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected." Multiple means more than one, so two is fine.
Publishers Weekly has always been a reliable source. I have placed it in many articles over the years. all past discussions about it that I am aware of, have determined it counts as a reliable source. They are often quoted along with other reliable sources at Amazon, Apple [100], and other places that sell the books, or even libraries that mention them [101]. They are also found inside the book or on the cover quoted with other notable reviewers. [102]
You were called out by another editor for being "openly hostile" in your interactions with me above, then you moved a perfectly acceptable article I created for a book Gonzalo Lira wrote, into draft space.

  • Keep No grounds for even nominating this for deletion. It made sense to nominate it in c. April 2022, not anymore. The fact that you don't like a subject so much you want to even erase any trace of it on the internet cannot be grounds for deletion on Wikipedia. Major coverage worldwide internationally and not just English but Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian. I bet thousands were googling his name even before his death. The guy was mentioned by several prominent figures even prior to his death, and again, in many languages not just English. It is extremely rare --maybe even unprecedented-- that a US expat gets arrested/murdered abroad for expressing some political views ont the internet and just that. If some pro-Ukrainian outlets hearsay accusations are to be taken seriously, i.e. he was filming military installations for Russia, then that makes him even more notable as a 21st century US spy for Russia, which is even more rare & notable. --Yabroq (talk) 07:26, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I feel it's necessary after reading the most recent wave of "keep" votes to remind everyone that whether or not we personally think Lira was a particularly notable or historical individual is not relevant to whether he gets an article on Wikipedia. What matters is whether
    WP:RS support that conclusion. So far, I have only seen tabloids, weird, obscure newspapers, and non-RS like Fox News, TASS, and various sources associated with governments friendly to Russia used on the article. I can't judge the Spanish language sources as well as the English language ones but I would surprised if it wasn't the same story there. I realize that a lot of people feel strongly that he deserves an article, but unless you can get a good news source to actually cover him, a source like the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, all of this talk of how there are tons of sources about him and how he was mentioned by famous right-wing figure X is just a load of hot air.--Ermenrich (talk) 01:22, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

Comment - WP BANDMEMBER doesn’t really explain what to do in a situation like this at all, is there more precedent here? My instinct is that someone who’s been a member of three notable bands has a decent claim on notability themselves, but the guidelines don’t really provide any guidance on where the bar is. Obviously SIGCOV applies but that’s a little tricky, does it have to exclude the bands they are in to count? WilsonP NYC (talk) 17:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      The review notes: "While the series is very informative, it lacks some of the spark needed to make it fun viewing for kids who don't already get a kick out of science. Its focus on almost every step of the product-assembly process sometimes makes it a little tedious. But the uncomplicated scientific explanations give interested tweens and teens a real chance to learn the physics behind how the products we use every day actually work."

The nifty souvenirs are one of the best perks of Louis Bloomfield's new gig - co-host of the Discovery Channel's upcoming show "Some Assembly Required." ... Bloomfield, a popular UVa professor who teaches physics to non-science majors, will debut Dec. 26 as the science expert on "Some Assembly Required" alongside co-host Brian Unger, a former Daily Show correspondent. ...

From guitars to Wisconsin cheddar cheese to ice-making Zambonies, "Some Assembly Required" has taken Bloomfield across the country in search of the not-so-obvious hidden in everyday objects that have surprising scientific and technological beauty. ... Bloomfield landed the Discovery Channel gig when a former student auditioned for the role of the show’s host. He didn’t get it—it went to Brian Unger of "The Daily Show" fame—but while there, he recommended Bloomfield for the co-host spot. The show’s producers contacted Bloomfield, who is a natural fit."

Bloomfield, author of a textbook ("How Things Work") and a trade book ("How Everything Works"), is joined by humorist Brian Unger, a former "Daily Show" correspondent, as co-host.

A film crew of seven from "Some Assembly Required" enjoyed an afternoon of sunshine Thursday on the Penobscot River as they filmed an episode on the making and use of the firm's canoes and kayaks.

Comment: The article has been largely unsourced since its inception, but that does not appear to be for want of extant sources. A search of the British Newspaper Archive turns up more than 100 articles, out of which a strong Wikipedia article could undoubtedly be built. As for the claim that "Hundreds of such clubs exist in the UK, and I cannot see why this one is particularly notable", the first sentence of the article appears to hold the answer: "the Borough of Wandsworth Rifle Club is one of the oldest clubs belonging to the National Small-bore Rifle Association". Indeed, it appears to date to 1903. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:49, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, as the nominator, have you read *all* the sources already in the article (before nomination)?

I suppose you don’t know Korean and finding sources might be difficult, but reading the existing sources with the help of machine translation should be the basics right?

I remember very clearly that I had watched the news on TV (yep, TV ...

That was reported as a *very important* discovery back in 2009, and that’s why I still remember it.
Further, finding sources in Korean and posting links of the translated pages won’t be easy for most of us who participate in this discussion (I did find some sources, but it’s not easy as I don’t know Korean. What makes things more complicated is that most Korean sites seems to be blocking the script from Google translate (probably because they don’t want their content crawled by bots). Also, the English name of the person has many variations (e.g., SeungChan Kim, SC Kim, Seung-Chan Kim, S-C Kim, Seung Chan Kim, S. C. Kim, Kim SeungChan, Kim Seung-Chan, Kim Seung Chan, S. Kim, etc.); and, there are *many* Korean called Kim. I tend to

Not everything needs MEDRS, but claims that something is biomedically significant could be shown to be by such sources. Where is the impact this work has made (open question)? Also note per
WP:NPROF: "Victories in academic student competitions at the high school and university level as well as other awards and honors for academic student achievements (at either high school, undergraduate or graduate level) do not qualify under Criterion 2 and do not count towards partially satisfying Criterion 1".

WP:NEXIST sure, that's basic. But notability resides in actual sources, not imagined ones. There is no reason why an article should not be improved in the usual way while at AfD. Bon courage (talk) 17:58, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

I like the word imagined. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 18:05, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface. Bon courage (talk) 21:19, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So you are just citing the last sentence of the
policy
? (And “seldom persuasive” means “imagined”?) Let me cite it in full then:
“Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article.
The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of independent, published reliable sources in libraries, bookstores, and the internet) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility that sources may still exist even if their search failed to uncover any.
Wikipedia articles are not a final draft, and an article's subject can be notable if such sources exist, even if they have not been named yet. If it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate.”
But *even if* sources already exist in the article, people tend to ignore them (or even remove them) instead of trying to find better sources based on the already existing ones (which contain keywords and so on). So, forget about it. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 21:35, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JoelleJay,
I would respectfully like your comments on her on other criteria.
NPROF C6: The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.
Deputy Director of Republican Research Center for Radiation Medicine and Human Ecology, build for post Chernobyl Research. The highest Authority on that research authority in Belarus and Russia and the region. Also on the scientific editorial board of the institution.
NPROF C7: The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.
One of her books (hormones and preserving youth) is endorsed by the president of the United nations General Assembly for the contribution to the community. She is also Assigned as the Director General of Belarus Maldives Cultural center. Her work on IVF and endocrinology is documentation in Belarus media.
Being recognized by the minister of state of Health of another country and the President of UNGA is not something an ordinary scholar can achieve. Also, most researches done in Russian languages are not properly indexed in google.
NPROF C1: The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.
I cannot fully agree on this part since, her academic achievements has led for the recognition under C7. And its covered significantly, locally and internationally. Existence Leesaaisath 13:34, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
NPROF C2:
  1. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
here is another link on December 6th of recognition. https://mvdoctors.org/press-release-1/
I ask all the editor colleagues to participate and to look in to local literature and do research and help in developing these works. We need support of all to make wiki better.
As I have started researching, I myself is seeing more and more material on this page. Every article has to abide by wiki rules, and we shall all enforce it, and at the same time we shall work to appreciate and treat with respect and fairness to all articles as much as possible. Existence Leesaaisath 22:38, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
C6: Deputy Director is not the highest post of the institution, and anyway that is not a notable independent research institute so even its director would not qualify.
C7: Belonging to various government committees and receiving recognition from international bodies are not enough to qualify (else everyone who worked on UN subcommittees would be notable).
C1: For her field, this would require thousands of citations by other academics, in peer-reviewed academic literature.
C2: I see no evidence she has received an award equivalent to, e.g., a Guggenheim Fellowship. JoelleJay (talk) 05:27, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
C6: The Chernobyl incident and the organization she belongs that was made to investigate it and heading its research is not significant than, I guess we have redefined very guidelines as we wish to interpret.I have visited the website and seen their history in Russian/English. Also, if you listen to the the live interview you can understand the research they are doing on cancer research with US and the countries. I think we need to focus on countries as a whole and not on western and English media alone. I have an article on Dr. Ali Niyaf here, had not seen these criterias mentioned this way. He has less scope than this individual we discuss here.
C7: Recognized by the President of UNGA, and Minister of state of health of another country, for the work and recognized by the a biggest doctors body in another country; if that is not credible, then I really do not understand how the guidelines apply.
C2: I don't think only EU or US or their societies recognition can be a norm since, there is various sanctions on individuals and countries these people are born to and these countries have it own standards and classifications.
C1: I dont think its only one criteria we should look on on that angle. And also I believe we need to look to think balanced.
My explanations are purely not based on this article, its my understanding to interpret the right and balanced way regardless of which language the persons are represented and valued, thus I respectfully note these & I thank you JoelleJay for the contribution to this discussion. Lets investigate deep and find more. Existence Leesaaisath 10:26, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Her research can be highly important and impactful and still not make her notable. The notability requirements for a page are there partly because they allow us to write a comprehensive, neutral article on the person, which means independent secondary sources providing significant coverage are crucial. The websites of people/organizations someone is affiliated with (including those awarding the person or publishing official recognition) are not independent, interviews are primary and not independent, the person's own publications and quotations in media are not independent, and brief descriptions of the person by independent secondary media outlets are not significant enough. JoelleJay (talk) 19:10, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear JoelleJay,
Thank you for noting that out. That is what I am trying to explain. Notability is via many sources and its can been in many articles in russian, english and also in Maldivian, most are independent also state media sources of the country if you research on them in Belarus. I dont think we can have a bling eye on it. Also its not one media outlet. Its cross country and major media sources.
Also, regarding notability I have thoroughly explained and highlighted above with Wiki why she fits certain criterias as explained in the criterias of Wikipedia. I cannot agree on the fact a person is notable by a highlight on specific organizations alone or specific news sources as you have mentioned, but a mix of reliable secondary sources. Also we should not focus on interviews since, in my research alone I have found news sources on her.
In retrospect her work is published in oxford too among many I have come across. We can work with one angle, but why? shall we decredit state organizations and international organizations and define the criteria otherwise to state as non notable.
And if the criteria definition you have detailed is put in place like 1000's of citations, then we will shun and many contributors to science in these countries unfairly deemed non notable for Wikipedia and will show a deficit in the presence of Wikipedia in its own right in these regions. That is why I put in place Ali niyaf as an example. If a person lives in Maldives will understand the magnitude of notability on him and in fits the criteria listed, but as per your explanation his article needs to be removed too.
As I have mentioned we are looking to develop wiki, and looking not only to one scope or a professor, but in general too on notability. I welcome to please read more an investigate to help develop our thoughts here. I am delighted to give few hours of my time in it.
We may not be able to fathom certain media coverage due to language barriers we have. This is something I have been advocating from the start. Existence Leesaaisath 13:14, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Don't forget this page is only to discuss the notability of Mariya Rusalenko with respect to the guidelines and policies. This isn't an appropriate forum to discuss revising notability guidelines (would be better going to the talk pages of the guidelines themselves). -Kj cheetham (talk) 15:48, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
With Respect -Kj cheetham, developing wiki is not about changing guidelines (should not be). I mentioned it in reference to populating it with articles as per the guidelines of wiki. Also, with examples in articles I have created, I am asking that, the guidelines define what is notable and not notable and we have no right to add extra rules or remove extra rules with various interpretations.
I have argued with respected to editors here for explanation and links and also example of other approved articles. I did so, since countries like Belarus, khazakstan, or Romania, Maldives, these are countries with very deep language and media, and we have to look deep to the local sources, organizations to as the guideline say to define notability. In western only sources doesnt define them fairly.
That is why I have put Dr. Ali Niyaf, who i made an article which is approved. Why it was approved as per current definitions by some authors here?
And now lets imagine, are we to remove it: its one of the most famous individuals in the country. Anyways, lets look more on these. I hope this discussion will assist more on making a better understanding and making wiki contributions a pleasant work.
I urge all to look positive in adding your ideas and thoughts, and create arguments with facts and examples possible. Existence Leesaaisath 16:55, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BLP of an ultra runner whose main claim to notability is that he “ holds the Guinness World Record for the "Fastest marathon dressed as a Morris dancer (male)". Other than that I don’t see anything that would meet our requirements for an article. Mccapra (talk) 08:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article should be retained for a number of reasons. Firstly, setting a Guinness World Record is an impressive and notable achievement (it has media coverage). Secondly, the individual has run some of the toughest and most notable ultrarunning events on the planet, which is no small feat. Thirdly, there are other similar articles of ultrarunners who have also set Guinness World Records, see Rik Vercoe (for example at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rik_Vercoe), so this profile corresponds with current practice. Fourthly, the individual has run over 100 marathons in addition to his record setting events, which is incredible, there are a number of sports person articles detailing sportsperson who have achieved a lot less in their sporting career (for example footballers making only a few professional appearances (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Oliver_(footballer)). Fifthly, the individual seems to have a number of notable relations. 62.190.87.10 (talk) 20:07, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with this argument. It makes sense to retain the article, given the five reasons explained. 92.40.212.243 (talk) 20:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like the individual has also won the "I Run & I Know Things 2020" timed event ultramarathon, taking first place after covering more distance than other competitors in the allotted time (https://saturn.runiverse.co.uk/result.php?eventID=52), another notable and impressive feat. 62.190.87.10 (talk) 20:39, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I’ll add that this article is possibly an autobiography by an account which has edited little else on Wikipedia. I’m delighted the IPs above agree with each other on this matter (rolls eyeballs). Mccapra (talk) 20:53, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There are a number of notable achievements and media references, no? 62.190.87.10 (talk) 21:00, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you again for your continued commitment to upholding Wikipedia's standards and for your observations regarding the potential autobiographical nature of the article.
    I would like to clarify that, as a new editor, my contributions to Wikipedia have indeed been focused but are driven by a genuine interest in a specific niche. So far, my efforts have been concentrated on drafting articles and making edits related to the Welsh town of Narberth and individuals who have historical, ancestral, or cultural connections to this area. This focus is due to my personal interest, knowledge in this particular subject area and recent news articles that have come to my attention.
    Going forward, I plan to continue contributing to Wikipedia by drafting articles and updating existing ones that meet this criteria. My recent efforts in this space are indicative of my commitment to enhancing the content related to this specific area of interest, and I hope these contributions provide some assurance as to my credibility and intentions as a Wikipedia editor.
    I look forward to continuing to contribute constructively to Wikipedia and appreciate the opportunity to clarify my editorial focus and intentions. I appreciate your dedication to maintaining the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia's content. Narbethwriter (talk) 02:22, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your commitment to Wikipedia's standards. Regarding the proposed deletion, I would like to reinforce the argument for retaining the article on the ultra runner, now also considering additional notable achievements.
Enhanced Argument for Retention Based on Notability Guidelines:
Significance of Achievement: The subject's holding of a Guinness World Record for the "Fastest marathon dressed as a Morris dancer (male)" is a unique and notable accomplishment. This achievement alone is "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded," in line with Wikipedia's notability guidelines for people.
Coverage in Reliable Sources: The individual's achievements have been covered in credible sources, including an article by Eleanora Pilastro on achievements at the Berlin Marathon and a listing on the Guinness Book of World Records' official record page. These sources demonstrate significant attention from the media, satisfying the general notability guideline.
Additional Notable Achievements: Besides the Guinness World Record, the ultra runner has completed some of the most challenging ultramarathons globally, including the Marathon Des Sables. This adds another layer to the subject's notability, showcasing endurance and achievement in extreme sports.
Sports Notability: The completion of prestigious ultramarathons like the Marathon Des Sables, combined with the Guinness World Record, aligns with the specific notability guidelines for sports figures. These accomplishments reflect significant honours within the sports community.
Argument Based on Deletion Policy:
Presumption in Favour of Inclusion: With the subject's achievements being more than just a single event and including participation in world-renowned ultramarathons, the article aligns with Wikipedia's preference for inclusion, especially when the subject demonstrates potential for ongoing notability.
Potential for Improvement and Future Notability: The subject's continued participation in challenging sporting events suggests a trajectory of increasing notability. The article has the potential for future development as more achievements and recognition may arise.
In summary, considering the Guinness World Record, media coverage from reputable sources, and participation in notable ultramarathons like the Marathon Des Sables, the subject of the article meets the notability criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. The achievements in ultra running, combined with the record, support the case for the subject's notability, in line with Wikipedia's guidelines for sports personalities and biographies. The principle of inclusion and the potential for future notability further endorse retaining the article on Wikipedia. Narbethwriter (talk) 02:14, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:ITSANAQUARIUM. The most extensive guidebook coverage I've been able to find is in a National Geographic guidebook, whose coverage consists of this sentence: Across the street is the Marine Aquarium, where the fish, sea turtles, and Nile crocodiles, housed in small and dirty glass tanks, are barely more alive. On TripAdvisor it's 31 of 69 things to do in Alexandria. So I don't believe the Egypt Today sources, which say things like the ultimate sea collection and one of the most important tourist attractions in the city, should be considered reliable on this subject. Note that Arabic wikipedia claims that the photo on the page is of a different museum. Jfire (talk) 18:41, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

  • Do not delete Hello. I do not believe this article should be deleted, as this is discussing the front of Yugoslavia and Albania, not a specific battle. I just listed some battles because they took place on that front. As for “duplicates material from Invasion of Yugoslavia”, can you tell me what part is duplicated? I did not purposely duplicate anything. Also, there is no original research here. I will look for more reliable sources later if it is still needed. Thanks.

      The article notes: "「海峽尋新論壇」是由美國華裔大學生林柏瀚（Johnny Lin）於2005年在布朗大學創立，接受美國和平研究所資助；2011年4月起，「海峽尋新論壇」正式在香港設立「海峽尋新香港論壇」（Strait Talk Hong Kong），並且固定每年4月在香港大學舉辦，邀請中國大陸、台灣、港澳三方代表參加。"

      From Google Translate: ""Strait Talk" was founded by Johnny Lin, a Chinese-American college student at Brown University in 2005, and received funding from the United States Institute of Peace. Since April 2011, "Strait Talk" has officially established the "Strait Talk" in Hong Kong. "New Hong Kong Forum" (Strait Talk Hong Kong) is held regularly at the University of Hong Kong in April every year, inviting representatives from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao to participate."

Retrieved 2024-01-17.

      The article notes: "曾任联合国高级调停顾问的美国俄亥俄州肯特(Kent)州立大学和平与冲突研究院副教授新井立志(Tatsushi Arai)博士，在2005年创立了“海峡寻新”(Strait Talk)的跨海峡两岸新世代对话，希望透过在美国大学就读的来自中国、台湾和美国华裔青年新世代，以“互动式冲突解决”(Interactive Conflict Resolution)对话，为台海两岸关系的和缓寻求人性化的冲突解决途径。... “海峡寻新”最早是在美国布朗大学举行，后来扩展到华盛顿的乔治华盛顿大学、加拿大阿尔伯塔大学、加州的伯克利大学和台北的校园，""

      From Google Translate: "Dr. Tatsushi Arai, an associate professor at the School of Peace and Conflict Studies at Kent State University in Ohio, who was a senior United Nations mediation consultant, founded the cross-strait cross-strait new generation "Strait Talk" in 2005. The dialogue hopes to use "Interactive Conflict Resolution" dialogue among the new generation of young people from China, Taiwan and Chinese Americans studying in American universities to seek humane conflict resolution methods for the easing of cross-strait relations across the Taiwan Strait. ... "Searching for Innovation across the Straits" was first held at Brown University in the United States, and later expanded to campuses at George Washington University in Washington, the University of Alberta in Canada, the University of Berkeley in California, and Taipei,""

Gold, a professor at the University of Berkeley, specially introduced this non-governmental organization "Strait Talk" (Strait Talk), which has been established for five years in the eastern United States and is in its second year of activities in the western United States. This organisation was founded by Lin Bohan, who was born in Taiwan, and now holds events every year at Brown University East and the University of California, Berkeley."

      .

      The book notes: "Another model to highlight is a student-created enterprise. Students at Brown University started Strait Talk in 2005. It now has a second base in the San Francisco Bay Area. Each year, the student organizing committees plan a week-long symposium and select fifteen student delegates from Taiwan, China, and the U.S. to participate. The students engage in conflict resolution training, hear from regional specialists, and develop a consensus report on dispute resolution and cooperation. The report is submitted to leaders from the three regions."

    There is sufficient coverage in
    reliable sources to allow Strait Talk (traditional Chinese: 海峽尋新; simplified Chinese: 海峡寻新) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Why not boldy redirect the article to Stabbing Westward, and only go to AfD if that is reversed? Mach61 (talk) 00:21, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Jax 0677 I'm confused: the only reason you prod an article is to avoid discussion, yet instead of taking a second no-discussion option after I de-prod you open an AfD. Why? Mach61 (talk) 01:46, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am also curious about what has happened to Jax0677's relentless bloodlust for never ever ever ever deleting anything because it is earth-shatteringly crucial to preserve attribution for former editors who said something uninformative about someone non-notable, as seen here or here among many others. But now Jax is suddenly proposing albums for deletion without considering the standard procedure of redirecting to the band, which happens to satisfy that same unceasing tooth-and-nail fight-to-the-death obsession with never ever ever ever deleting anything, not even redirects created because of previous deletions as seen here. What gives? At least be consistent in your obsessions. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:20, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:RM has a section for controversial moves. Since this is likely controversial, I want to have buy in from the Wikipedia community before removing such an article. Redirecting and merging are possible outcomes for articles in AFD. There is no WP:Articles for discussion forum. --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply
