The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a deletion review
). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus‎. Kudos to

WP:BADNAC

.

While a few of the !votes here can be discarded (based on their reasoning, not on the editor's tenure), we're still left with some strong arguments on both sides, fairly evenly divided. The broad participation in this AfD suggests there's not much point to another relisting right now. Hopefully by the time the article is eligible for another AfD, new sources will make that unnecessary. Owen× ☎ 11:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, this article was made years ago by someone who is blocked for paid editing, and there's been numerous suspected COI incidents over years.

I'm probably one of the most inclusionist editors on this website, and frankly, I cannot see any indicators of notability for this guy at all. Almost all the sources aren't about him, they're about the airline. ~~He seems to just be a provocateur who bullies airlines for clicks.~~ DarmaniLink (talk) 19:47, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Mostly covered in non-RS, or iffy reliable sources. These are about the best I could find [1] and [2]. Daily Dot isn't terribly reliable (mid-level reliability) per our lists. Bangkok Post, I'm unsure... No coverage in anything we'd use as a solid RS. Oaktree b (talk) 20:44, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete: As per prop and per @Oaktree b.

The only sources that come close to RS were the Freie Presse (FP) articles, but those have been killed along with their archives, and it still wouldn't get it close to the notability finish line. More specifically, those seemed to be

WP:1E

.

The sources found by Oaktree b also seem to be in

WP:1E

territory, in addition to them being of the "random person had bad experience" caliber that seems to be popular by some outlets nowadays and often uses social media as a source.

More formally, I see issues with regard to the following guidelines (keeping in mind

WP:NEXIST

):

- Not meeting
  WP:BASIC
  due to lack of multiple reliable secondary sources
- Not meeting any of the points under
  WP:ANYBIO
- Ditto for
  WP:AUTHOR
- Ditto for
  WP:ENT
- Ditto for
  WP:SIGCOV
- Ditto for
  WP:NSUSTAINED

And while not a formal guideline, it meets pretty much all of the observations in

I'd even go as far as to recommend OS deletion as a courtesy to the subject, seeing as they've gone through some length to keep their legal name from wikipedia.

Delete, also noteworthy that the article never has been existed on German language Wikipedia even though they are German. Killarnee (talk) 00:50, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that this is noteworthy at all, given that the titles of the videos listed for his Youtube channel all seem to be in English, and that neither the article being discussed nor anything I've read about him suggests that he reviews or does anything else of note in German. -- Hoary (talk) 08:41, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'm seeing a lot of
WP:1E either. I also disagree with ConcurrentState's rationale above: the fact that the online copies of reliable sources (Freie Presse) have been removed does not make those sources unreliable, much less have any impact on the subject's notability. Jpatokal (talk) 05:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

The fact that they refer to him as a "german vlogger" and not by name is more than enough evidence of a complete lack of general notability. Look at the content of the articles in question. That isn't an establishment of notability, that's basic routine coverage of random incidents that happen, posted on the internet. My name shows up in a few articles. I'm not notable though. DarmaniLink (talk) 05:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All the articles I linked are about Josh Cahill, refer to him by name, and pass the
WP:GNG test of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Jpatokal (talk) 10:11, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply
]
I'll clarify, the "titles" don't refer to him by name, and instead they refer to him as a "german vlogger", before later giving his name, after outlining the controversy with the airline. That's an indicator of a lack of notability. Notable people are recognizable by name. Take any notable youtube/streamer, their names/alias appear in article titles about them, or precluded by their profession. asmongold hikaru

It's frankly
WP:ROUTINE coverage of controversy. DarmaniLink (talk) 11:13, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

Your title theory is unsupported by the actual guidelines at
WP:ROUTINE: if these events were routine, they wouldn't be getting dedicated articles in major newspapers. Jpatokal (talk) 11:51, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

Except the coverage is about the controversies, and doesn't establish his notability as a person. For a person already notable, that information might be of encyclopedic interest.

Even should we accept your premise,
WP:ROUTINE:
Run-of-the-mill events—common, everyday, ordinary items that do not stand out—are probably not notable.
DarmaniLink (talk) 12:02, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

Here are the titles of some of the articles referenced above:
Bangkok Post: "Vlogger faces backlash"

SCMP: "German vlogger gets death threat over critical review of Singapore Airlines"

New Indian: "India’s Vistara Hits Back At German Vlogger Over Roster Accusations, Malpractices"

news.com.au: "Travel blogger ‘bullied’ by airline after posting mid-flight bad review"

AsiaOne: "Foreign travel vlogger considers Singapore Airlines cabin crew a 'letdown'"

What's the one thing in common here? That's right, Josh Cahill, who is the primary subject of all these articles, and getting death threats for posting bad reviews is hardly a "common, everyday, ordinary item". On the other side of the coin, having bad service on an airline is indeed common and everyday, but AsiaOne is writing about it because Josh is notable enough that his opinions carry weight. Jpatokal (talk) 05:06, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Someone getting death threats due to reviews posted on the internet absolutely is an every day item. [8][9][10] Also, I'll retract what I said earlier about the titles, after reviewing
WP:HEADLINES. We shouldn't pay headlines any weight at all, and we should instead take into account the content of articles. DarmaniLink (talk) 07:27, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

Thank you for acknowledging that you were wrong, and indeed, let's look at the content. To repeat myself, all the articles I linked are about Josh Cahill, refer to him by name, and pass the WP:GNG test of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

I'm also looking forward to your AFD of Keith Lee (food critic), one of your death threat recipients and also apparently somebody notable enough for Wikipedia :) Jpatokal (talk) 07:44, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At the risk of repeating myself and us moving in circles again, the articles are not about Josh Cahil per se, they about the airline and its treatment of a passenger. As mentioned previously, it is routine coverage, with JC not as the subject but as the customer of the airline.

Reviewing any of your examples shows that it isn't about JC, it's about the airline, and its treatment of a passenger.

Also, Keith Lee has tons of coverage about him as a person, which push him just over the finish line for notability.[11][12]etc. He gets daily coverage about every restaurant he tries and leaves a review at, good or bad. JC gets mentioned secondary in an article as the """victim""" whenever its something that the airline did. DarmaniLink (talk) 08:00, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Notable people are recognizable by name." There are degrees of recognizability and of notability. Few periodicals writing about Mick Jagger would think it better to title the article to include "musician Mick Jagger"; the Manfreds weren't as big as the Stones, so Paul Jones is likely to get a quick and simple description. So those recognizable by name are notable (or mere celebs), but plenty of people not immediately recognizable by name are also notable. -- Hoary (talk) 08:17, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Probably Keep. Whether you like him or not but the article seems to be relevant. If you compare his page views to the only other "aviation vlogger" here,

I don't want to venture into
WP:PA w/r/t the new account (and will address their arguments on their merits soon after), but I'd be remiss not to point out that I'm getting some strong quack deja vus when seeing their misapplication of and emphasis on the neutrality principles of Wikipedia.

Hi! I see this is your first ever edit, that isn't a policy based argument. DarmaniLink (talk) 19:37, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
~~I'm coming down on the side of delete.~~ I looked at the links Jpatokal shared and I was in two minds, but I just feel that each of the articles is more about an airline's notable behaviour toward a passenger, not coverage the person as notable. Mgp28 (talk) 17:57, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But the reason that behavior is notable is because it happened to somebody who is notable. I don't have newspapers writing about me when I get denied entry to a lounge or dislike the onboard catering, nor do I get death threats if I complain about either on my blog. But if you want
WP:RS about Josh himself, here's a dedicated profile/interview by Corriere della Serra, one of Italy's largest newspapers: https://www.corriere.it/economia/consumi/24_febbraio_18/josh-il-blogger-che-recensisce-e-fa-arrabbiare-le-compagnie-aree-controllo-anche-i-bagni-6af8dd9b-9052-4f90-b875-acb74f08cxlk.shtml Jpatokal (talk) 19:43, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply
]
I disagree that poor behaviour by companies is only reported on if the recipient is notable. Newsapers are full of reports of people being mistreated. I think they would argue there is a strong public interest to report on such things that affect us all. The Corriere profile is more compelling. I couldn't see any indication that this was paid for, so it seems a reporter has sat down and interviewed the subject and an editor has chosen to give some space for the interview. This is just tipping me into a weak keep. Mgp28 (talk) 08:54, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, trying to establish notability with a single interview is why
WP:BLP1E, more is required to establish notability. DarmaniLink (talk) 09:11, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply
]
I'm sorry, I was unclear. I did not mean that this interview in isolation constituted significant coverage.

(Also to note, I didn't find
WP:BLP1E
helped me form a judgement for this article. There is no single event that Josh Cahill seems famous for, and the interview doesn't appear to have been triggered by any one event -- it discusses his work over a seven-year period.)

Rather, I started with the links Jpatokal originally shared and did not feel these were sufficient. The available first paragraphs from the Freie Presse articles cited in the article seemed promising but I couldn't read the whole articles. Other links shared on this page still didn't convince me. From the position of having read those articles, the Corriere profile tipped the balance such that I now, albeit weakly, feel that there is sufficient, significant, reliable, independent coverage that I feel we should keep the article. Mgp28 (talk) 13:08, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Agreeing with the above !votes; I would say keep since the subject meets notability guidelines, but the editors who pointed out that these news stories are routine motivated me to !vote delete since the subject doesn't fully meets notbility guidelines.

Delete: the same as above. Much of the content and news articles seems quite trivial. Ldm1954 (talk) 23:06, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Jpatokal. There are plenty more, similar write-ups: "Aero Dili Criticized After Posting Aviation YouTuber's Passport Online in Revenge Against Negative Flight Review", "Qatar Airways Under Fire For Banning Aviation YouTuber Josh Cahill", "YouTuber says Qatar Airways banned him from flying with them ever again because he left a bad review", "Airline Posts Passport of Popular Airline YouTuber Publicly Online in ‘Revenge’ For Negative Flight Review", etc. Each is indeed more about the airline than about our subject, and the gist of each review could instead have been published on TripAdvisor or similar. But news outlets choose to write about Cahill's experiences, and about what he does, rather than about your experiences or mine, because he's energetic, articulate and conspicuous. (You may be too. I'm not.) -- Hoary (talk) 08:36, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep these mid-sized YouTubers almost all fall under this weird on-the-fence area of notability. Whether they are notable lies nearly entirely on personal interpretations of
WP:GNG. My personal interpretation, taken in conjunction with the sources already cited in this article, leads me to lean toward keep. The sources are all marginal, but the quantity of marginally acceptable sources holds some weight, in my opinion. Good day—RetroCosmos ^talk 16:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

I added "it seems" in front to make it explicit that it is an opinion. :)

Poor form? Sure, I'll admit that, and I'll voluntarily strike that out. However, the rest of the argument that the coverage is trivial/routine, and about the airlines rather than the individual, which you agreed with me on in your above !vote, still stands. DarmaniLink (talk) 01:41, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for striking it out. In my so-called "!vote", I described what I'd linked to as primarily about the airlines rather than about Cahill. But this wasn't a description of all the links provided so far. Indeed, User:Jpatokal has just now provided a little list of links whose titles suggest that they're primarily about Cahill. -- Hoary (talk) 07:30, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article notes: "German-born vlogger Josh Cahill, who boasts more than 320,000 YouTube subscribers and has a reputation for unvarnished critiques, recently sparked what he called a "little revolution" after posting a video in which he showed an unkempt VIP lounge at Tunisia's airport and gave a scathing review of his Tunisair flight to Paris. He described the plane as "absolutely filthy," mocked the contents of the meal box ("Who eats muffins with cheese?") and questioned why in-flight magazines were offered when they could've been touched by multiple hands. ... Since starting his channel in early 2018, Cahill, who speaks fondly of his first airplane ride as a youngster in 1991 aboard an L-1011 TriStar belonging to the former German carrier LTU, has developed a bit of a reputation as a rabble-rouser. His no-holds-barred reviews have gotten underneath the skin of more than one airline and even generated international headlines."

Thank you for reviewing the sources.
Sources
You did bring some good sources, however. No. 1 is genuinely great and might be the best one I've seen so far. No. 2 seems pretty good as well. – two good sources is sufficient for a topic to meet
WP:NOT, there is no policy-based reason to exclude a subject with at least two good sources from having an article.
Starting the article from scratch
the controversies are most of the article. If the topic is notable, it needs to be started from scratch. – the article is not so poorly written that "it needs to be started from scratch". To address concerns about controversies forming most of the article, here are three options:
The "Incidents" section can be removed.
The "Incidents" section can be trimmed.
The article can be expanded so that the "Incidents" section no longer forms slightly over half of the article.
None of these options requires deletion of the entire article. Aside from the "Incidents" section, I consider the rest of the article to be perfectly fine in being well-sourced, due weight, and neutral.
The policies say that articles containing flaws should not be deleted if they can be improved. Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion says, If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page. Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required says, Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles. Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome.

Keep - I'll put aside my total distaste for Josh Cahill. I'll also put aside the resentment I feel that Wikipedia is increasingly including people who according to my gut, just do not belong in an encyclopaedia. I have to go with what our guidelines say. Per the excellent analysis by Cunard, when applying the general notability guideline to the coverage of the subject, it is rather irrefutable that Josh Cahill meets the standard of notability for inclusion. Do I like that the coverage out there of an airline blogger is sufficient to justify an article? Not really. But this is not about what I or anyone else likes. It's about whether or not the article subject meets our relatively low bar of biography notability. He does. Therefore, the article should not be deleted — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 00:09, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’d love to hear more from the editor who flagged this for deletion. They say that there is some dissonance between the original source and the independent media coverage. I’m confused by that interpretation because it seems clear that these two credible news sources – the BBC and New Scientist are not using the term in a different way. They are reporting on the neologism and marking it as a significant new word which seems to justify its inclusion in Wikipedia. Additional references and citations were added to improve the page, and to further clarify the coherence of the topic. Cavalucciomarino (talk) 06:28, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to. It looks like that page has been signficiantly improved by you since I placed the tags. In the version at that time it's described as a that word arose from as an ourput of the Bureau of Linguistical Reality, whose primary definition on the page is "various cultural, political and economic processes through which techno-utopian fantasies divert our attention from the dominant global economic system's erosion of the life-support systems of Earth". They include other definitions, or potential meanings. The BBC article says that "which describes the expansion of colonial ideas to other planets". So, while the primary definitions relates to environmental issues on earth, the BBC article sees it as having a focus on colonial expansion. It still seems to be a campaigning piece rather than a work, but that's fine content too. Happy to change my view on this one. Klbrain (talk) 10:50, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. The list was obviously created in good faith, but sourcing of their being Jains and billionaires was only half of the problem. The other half is whether it's encyclopedic to have a standalone list article on Jain (or Bahá'í, or Zoroastrian) billionaires. As members of a minority religion, a better place to list notable Jain businesspeople would be at List of Jains#Business leaders. Wikishovel (talk) 03:53, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What is the issue of having separate article for this? And i did not add billionaires in the notable jain list because it would get buried down there. This separate list would be a better representation. Many communities have such pages, so i was thinking there should not be a problem with a jain list too. I have referenced wikipedia articles, added sources which mention networth and religion too. Don' see a problem here. So i don't understand why deletion KRFAAR (talk) 08:07, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, as opposed to "no results", the preview in Ron Goulart's great history of comic books has coverage on the character on p. 21-23, and there is a 2-page chapter dedicated to him, fittingly, in The League of Regrettable Superheroes. Not sure how much there is in American Comic Book Chronicles: 1940-1944. Daranios (talk) 20:34, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
American Comic Book Chronicles has a paragraph on the character, including commentary on the character's use of the Ku Klux Klan as villains: "Though down to approximately 30,000 members in 1941 (from a high of 4,000,000 a decade and a half earlier), the Klan and its sympathizers, many of them in positions of prominence, were still dangerous. To call them out as murderers and traitors, even in the pages of a comic book, was brave, perhaps too brave for Dell executives.

If in doubt, consult WP:TENNIS before creating a new rivalry article." That's what this looks like to me. This is not a player interaction that requires a stand-alone article.

Comment @Montanabw: Commercial sites may be accurate, but we have no way of knowing that because their motivation is less to provide accurate information and more to sell goods.

I first nominated this article for
WP:PROD
deletion with the following rationale:
"None of the three sources confirm the claims in this article, one states that the board is "thinking of launching their BPL" and only confirms that they will do a competition for school girls[23], one talks about an existing three-team tournament, and just states "If we can't start the women's franchise league in the next two seasons of BPL, we will try to do it in the third season."[24], while the final source, from yesterday, is the only one somewhat concrete about these plans, but only says "he possible time of the first season is December this year or January next year." and has no info on the format or the number of teams.[25]
I don't know if the article as written is mostly speculation (which has no place on enwiki then) or based on another source than the ones given (even though the one from yesterday should be up to date), but as it stands the article is not acceptable."
Since then, the article has been ref-bombed but nothing has improved. For example, at the moment the "schedule" section, "Although the day of the tournament is not fully fixed so far, it is expected that, this year may begin late or February to March 2025.", is referenced by [26] which has nothing at all about those dates, and is about school cricket for girls...

Redirect to List of Haunted PS1 games, has no apparent notability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:50, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't suggest turning the article into a redirect. A redirect would be messy to clean up and shift back to an independent article when the game is ultimately released and more sources become available/the topic becomes less obscure. Deletion would be better. Ishiura (talk) 10:11, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Assuming it actually becomes notable, the redirect would provide grounds to expand the article. I don't see how that's a bad thing. (If it's not, that sort of disruptive editing can probably be handled on a user by user basis). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:45, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are you suggesting that my having created the article to begin with was disruptive? My reasoning for prefering deletion to a redirect is concern that a technical request would have to be placed in order to deal with the screwy edit history once it was time to set up the standalone article again. If the "Blast Cats"--->"List of Haunted PS1 games" redirect could simply be edited back into a full Blast Cats article once the game gets greater publicity, I would agree that a redirect is the best course to take. Ishiura (talk) 11:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What you may be looking for is advocating for a draftify, if you feel there are good grounds for the article to obtain notability in future as a
WP:TOOSOON. I created most of these articles, but admit most of the recent HPS1 games haven't really reached a stage of notability upon full release. But there's definitely no harm in exploring AtDs. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 11:31, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

For instance the details of Prince Emanuel Galitzine travelling to Finland for the Winter war is mentioned in Emanuels' obituary but there is no mention or the photos shown in the Picture Post Magazine which would otherwise be lost to the historical narrative. I have now added a link to the photograph of the story. His mention in dispatches is surely a decoration? His medals are shown in a photo on FindaGrave, I have now added the url. His notable efforts during Operation Husky were singled out for praise in 3 paragraphs in the Book Malta Strikes Back. In the book "Roys Boys" he is mentioned fourteen times. His full story lodged with the Imperial War Museum makes fascinating reading and I think this page should be kept.

Keep (as creator), she meets
Airblue, and while the latter doesn't have an article, it and the former both have releases charting in the Oricon charts ([29]; [30]) and in at least one case had at least one in the Top 10, so they should count as independently notable ensembles under the criterion. ミラP@Miraclepine 04:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

This is a good argument, but I'm still a bit skeptical to call Airblue notable since from my understanding the precedent among Japanese music groups is that those formed around one anime to perform its theme songs usually aren't independently notable like with
3-nen E-gumi Utatan, which was merged by discussion despite having songs chart. Link20XX (talk) 04:53, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

That is also my understanding. Except in very rare cases where a group originally created for an anime ends up having a life of its own outside of its original anime (for example, Sweet Arms, which was originally formed to sing songs for Upotte but is perhaps best known for its involvement with Date A Live), we usually don't create separate articles for this one-time units. Having releases chart on Oricon add notability to Dialogue+, but I don't think it by itself extends to Ogata (or indeed any of the other Dialogue+ members in general).

not to the point of warranting a page.

Comment I have nominated the article for DYK at Template:Did you know nominations/Yuna Ogata, however per DYK rules that nomination is hold pending the result of this discussion. I don't really have a strong opinion either way on Ogata's notability but per my above comments and Link's arguments I'm leaning towards either a delete or a redirect to Dialogue+'s article, whatever the outcome of the discussion is.

Keep per WP:NMUSIC as part of a notable ensemble with multiple hits and a separate production. Also, while I have not evaluated these since I believe that she has already met the notability threshold per NMUSIC, there are 43 citations provided in the Japanese-language article. DCsansei (talk) 17:24, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
NMUSIC says that Members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability, thus she can't be notable for being part of a single notable band, regardless of how well that band performs. While the Japanese article has a lot of sources, none of them actually count towards notability. Of the sources it cites, five from YouTube (38, 39, 40, 41, 43), eight are from Twitter (9, 18, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 31), three are from blogs, wikis, and other social media platforms (19, 30, 34), three are from databases (1, 2, 3), 13 are from official websites or press releases (4, 5, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 24, 27, 28, 35, 36, 42), and the remaining are insignificant coverage that only briefly mentions the subject (6, 7, 8, 12, 15, 20, 29, 32, 33). Source 17 is not available online, but seems to be just a simple casting announcement which is also not significant coverage. Link20XX (talk) 17:54, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The nomination is correct that this article currently consists of little more than in-universe information, a violation of both
WP:NOTABILITY is an orthogonal question. There are two principal ways of addressing this problem: redirect/merge to a character list, as was suggested by the nominator, or expand with additional information that would bring this article to an acceptable state. I don't see a case for keeping the article without adding analysis. If such material is not added, redirecting/merging is not only a perfectly cromulent alternative but the appropriate course of action. TompaDompa (talk) 20:23, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

That is incorrect; notability is the deciding factor in an Articles for Deletion discussion. Check out

Then which of those reasons for deletion would you use here? It's not vandalism, it's not a copyright violation, it's not advertising or spam, and it's not a content fork. The relevant reasons are "Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources", "Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed" and "Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline".

WP:DEL If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page. Editing to incorporate even two of these sources would address the relevant reason for deletion, therefore deletion on the basis of NOT#PLOT is not a legitimate option.

Did you read your own sources, including a listicle of the 28 best faces he made? "when he threw shade on daario" is the longest sentence. Or the other listicle you provided?

Preferable to deletion, which nobody is suggesting. Merging or redirecting, which is what has actually been suggested, is fixing the problem. Or are you suggesting that we should retain flagrant violations of

In the general case, violating
WP:AfD discussions can be closed in other ways than "keep" or "delete", such as "merge" or "redirect"?

Preclude? Don't recall saying that it did. But you realize that arguing that an article be redirected, removing it from normal viewing, is viewed as a less positive outcome than allowing it to exist, unredirected, such that it can be improved? Really, I've been poking at the silliness of using NOT to justify the pseudo-deletion of a notable, improvable article. Jclemens (talk) 02:09, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bad content is bad whether it has potential to be improved or not. We can mitigate the badness by redirecting—the content isn't lost and the topic is covered at the proposed target. Of course it would be better to improve the article, but somebody has to actually do so. I'm not volunteering (in this case—as you know I have done so in multiple other cases), and neither are you. Daranios has, which is great, but until they did your position amounted to keeping an article in a 100% policy-violating state indefinitely. TompaDompa (talk) 10:08, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment And two more German secondary sources: Das vergessene Subjekt, p. 298-299 has a page on Mormont (which actually confirms the flippant "when he threw shade on Daario" by WP:ALLPLOT problem here is to use the sources which have been found, rather than redirect first and improve later.

Splendid. I agree that improving the article now is preferable to redirecting it and potentially improving it later (which in turn is preferable to keeping it without improvement). TompaDompa (talk) 12:42, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And therein lies your fundamental disconnect with policy:
WP:WIP. If you would rather see an improvable article turned into a redirect just because someone hasn't made that improvement, you have a perspective incompatible with the original goals of Wikipedia. You're not alone. Many such people have an irrational belief that deleting or redirecting something will cause a better article to be written. While I try not to mock others' religious beliefs, this one really does deserve derision.

the placenames book calls this a "village", but it is in fact a subdivision started in the early 1960s and then enlarged considerably sometime before the mid 1980s.

Comment That 1800's reference to Flat Rock Park is still bugging me though. So if there are any thoughts. I haven't found anything yet. The earliest mentions I found were 1957 realestate ads for the early lots in the housing development, and I can't find the GNIS source for this. Prior to 1957, It just Flat Rock township.James.folsom (talk) 01:28, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the source that GNIS used. The map doesn't show anything at the coords given in the article, and county history there doesn't mention it. If GNIS pick up the township as a town, they missed the coords by alot. https://mdon.library.pfw.edu/digital/collection/cc_fw_hist/id/6628/rec/8331 James.folsom (talk) 02:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per
WP:GEOLAND, reliable source was cited in the article since 2014, when the article was created. The source, "From Needmore to Prosperity : Hoosier place names in folklore and history" was published in 1995, which long predates this article, identifies the location as "Flat Rock Park (Bartholomew). This village was named for Flat Rock Creek, now Flatrock River. A variant name is Flat Rock Park North. Cf. Flat Rock" . This book was published by the Indiana University Press, which I believe to be a credible source. RecycledPixels (talk) 02:04, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply
]

This is the issue: a source isn't "reliable" when it isn't correct. It's clear from the maps and aerials that it didn't exist at all until the late 1950s (a 1960 aerial shows the first houses built) and that it is a typical tract house development of the period, and not a village in the conventional sense. These place names books are of varying quality to begin with, but they also suffer from some of the same issues that GNIS has, brought on by sheer volume and the tendency to use default classifications when there isn't something specific. I'm willing to assume that they are accurate as to the naming, since after all that's their purpose. But I take their descriptions of the places with a grain of salt, especially when evidence on the ground is against them. It's possible there was some previous place at the same location with the same name, but that needs more proof than just inference from a place names listing. And we have held subdivisions to GNG levels of notability. Mangoe (talk) 18:07, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe there was a prior place, I always make sure. I made extra sure on this one too, just because I knew that lame unsourced claim in that source attached to the article was going to get mentioned by somebody. I looked at alot of really old plats and that space was always empty until 1930 when a small housing cluster had been built. The newspapers for the area don't even mention the place until 1950s when the lots started going up for sale earnest. I just wish I could figure out what GNIS saw in that book that became a town. Because the maps in that book just show empty space there. I remember something I saw in the papers recently that made me think these population numbers in old gazetteers may be coming from tax records, and whatever system of naming the countryside for tax collection purposes is getting picked up as towns? James.folsom (talk) 23:07, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: A Newspapers.com search returns over 3,200 hits for "Flat Rock Park" in Indiana. At first glance, most of these appear to be property addresses, and not anything of substance. From 1900 to 1950, there are 14 hits, mostly appearing to refer to places in other counties. BD2412 T 22:08, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you narrow it down to only the county it's 3160, There are alot more real estate ads than you'd expect. Random sampling of that seems to show 50 years of passing news mentions and home sales in the subdivision. It's been quiet since around 2000 though.

Gagauz people in Ukraine can ever deal with are census statistics and local politics of the Gagauz which actually do not exist as they do not have any party of their own, or the five villages' history which can be dealt with in their own articles, or the history of how the Gagauz got divided which can easily be explained in the parent article, or notable personalities which are currently a total of four in Ukrainian Wikipedia.

Delete. None of these local stories are about the contest. Each is a local-interest story about some specific winner(s). They typically offer a rote statement that Representative So-and-so hosted the challenge and announced the winner, perhaps with a PR quote from the Rep. The rest of the story is about what the app is for, the winner's background, etc. Others are obvious churnalism or even explicitly tagged as press releases (such as this one listed as a source in one of the Keep comments above). We can't build an article about the contest from these passing references, which is why the actual article almost exclusively cites non-independent sources for its content. --RL0919 (talk) 00:34, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of diplomatic missions in Austria. I tried looking for sources, but it's a pretty standard embassy, no significant event has happened in the history of this embassy, and the building is fairly common, which explains the lack of coverage of the embassy as a whole.
