Hello. I previously tried to nominate this article for deletion because the sources included were not absolutely verifiable. I failed because I didn't understand Wikipedia's many rules on deletion. Now that I actually understand the process, I'd like to try again. As said before, this article is very weak on verifiable sources. The only sources are hip-hop and music blogs jumping onto the track to generate content for their site. It's clear that the release wasn't intentional, as this was a track leaked years ago that was eventually taken down from his YouTube channel. This happens a lot for artists under UMG. For example, Kanye West has had his YouTube channel hacked multiple times, and each time hackers upload previously leaked songs to make them seem like new releases. The articles themselves are very short and a lot of them peddle rumors around a GNX Deluxe Edition, and the only source for the latter is Lefty Gunplay claiming that a deluxe version exists. He is the only person known to have said this and no one else to my knowledge has confirmed this. It's simply a leaked track that got an article because it was made in a hurry. I yield my time. Thank you for understanding. 35.20.154.84 (talk) 21:30, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

- I'm posting what I posted on the article's talk page, as I saw that first.
- The existence of Wikipedia:UNRELEASED under Wikipedia:Notability (music) means that there is absolutely a scenario in which an unreleased or leaked track can have a Wikipedia page. Therefore, the points mentioned about the release being unintentional or possibly resulting from a hack are not relevant. I agree that not all leaks should have Wikipedia pages, but that's only because people generally don't write about them, and therefore they aren't inherently notable per guidelines. You don't see many articles about Kanye Westleaks, for instance. That brings me to my next point.
- The article meets which are significant, non-trivial, and independent. They discuss both the song substantively unto itself while discussing the nature in which it was mysteriously released. A previous edit summary from this editor even acknowledges this. The editor now says that these sources are short, but there's no guideline that I know of which places any value on this, so I have no reason to acknowledge the point. Ultimately, even if you remove all of the low-quality sources, you would still get an article founded on decently qualifiable sources that meet notability. Therefore, the points mentioned on sourcing are good reasons to remove sources for quality assurance but not to delete the article as a whole; if the editor wants to remove those sources on these grounds, then they are free to do so.
- At best, the deletion justification provided thus far is a good list of reasons on why this article isn't "good" in a very subjective sense, and I accept that; however, it isn't a good angle on notability, nor does it refer to any guidelines, making it less of a deletion justification and more so just one person's opinion on the article. I look forward to reading a more technical, policy-based deletion justification from any other editors who feel that the article shouldn't exist. If the article is convincingly proven to have fallen short of a Wikipedia guideline, then it should be deleted. Phibeatrice (talk) 23:13, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

It also warrants note that even though he's German, and thus an article on the German Wikipedia would be expected to exist if he were genuinely notable enough for Wikipedia, the only interlang actually present here is in Portuguese, and cites absolutely no GNG-worthy sourcing that could be moved over here to salvage this either -- while even the Wikidata entry suggests that attempts to create articles about him in the Spanish and Romanian Wikipedias have previously been deleted on those Wikipedias for notability reasons, whereas no article about him has ever existed in the German Wikipedia at all. So even the Portuguese article exists only because the Portuguese administrators haven't caught and deleted it yet, rather than because he's got any kind of genuine claim to notability. (Does anybody here have enough Portuguese to take it to their AFD?)
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a stronger notability claim and better sourcing for it than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:39, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

- Delete The article seems to have a circular logic to it. Genlin is notable for funding World Dog Alliance, but I cannot find RS to show World Dog Alliance is notable. The whole table in the middle Contributions by Genlin/ World Dog Alliance conflates the two and can be considered original research. For example
The joint efforts of Genlin and lobbyists succeeded in convincing Republic Congressman Jeff Denham to include a ban on dog meat consumption into the 2018 Farm Bill passed on 12 December 2018 in the House of Representatives. The bill obtained bipartisan support, notably from Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings, who had earlier co-sponsored a separate bill to Congress (H.R. 1406 - To amend the Animal Welfare Act to prohibit the slaughter of dogs and cats for human consumption]

- Keep Wouldn't the passage cited as original research be essentially the same as those promotional parts that WP:TNT. As previous commentators suggested, there are enough references that are good enough here albeit in different languages. Genlin is Chinese / Japanese, and it must be expected that some of his related sources will be Chinese. With instant translation easier than ever on most browsers, language barrier seems to be a very low bar to suggest for page deletion in my opinion. As for the point about the passage being circular and Genlin being conflated with Word Dog Alliance, I have found another source from 2024 on Chosun Daily (Korea's largest newspaper media, printed in Korean) which is a feature article on the works of both. If a reputable media can print a story about the two together because the two are inherently close, I cannot see why it should pose a reason for suggesting this page be taken down. Here is the link to article I mentioned (please forgive my relative lack of Wiki finesse here meaning I cannot put this into a reference section) -- https://www.chosun.com/international/2024/02/27/ODZKDBS6QJG4NOAZFTST4SQJH4/
- The same article would also seem to suggest that Genlin is in fact close with Jeff Denham (quoted in the block of texts in question) as the two travel together to South Korea to meet the Korean legislators there to discuss laws to stop the dog meat trade. That being said the particular passage in question still lacks proper citations and I do agree a few other parts of the page also needs rewriting / taken out and/or better citations.

Delete. The claim of notability in the first paragraph is "named as an Outstanding Alumni" of their university and that is not a good sign as this is not a highly prestigious award that would indicate that they are regarded as an important figure. The sources I have checked as well as the source assessment table above make clear that this is not a notable topic as it has not received significant, sustained coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

- Comment/question Is this a source assessment table of sources not in the article? WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:02, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Sources do not need to be in the article to be considered. As I mentioned in my initial comment, my !vote is not based on sources in the article but on a WP:BEFORE search. I provided some of these sources in a follow-up comment which was ignored in the assessment table you did so I did my own table with those sources included. I just edited to add two more, Corriere della Sera from the current article and The Chosun Ilbo which was referenced earlier in this discussion.

- It's Complicated, Read Below -- (how's that for wishy-washy! sorry closing Admin!) The entire article's pass/fail to me is based on WP:GNG or anything else to save the article. So we come to the (actually quite rare you'd be surprised) position of determining what "major" means about colleges etc. -- at the height of the seminary it had 1,800 students, which I think is on the KEEP side of what "major" would generally mean. But I looked at the negative side: "does the institution have 1,000 students today?" not close: 200-300. Does the institution have consisent and significant major press coverage about it? [15] Christianity Today 2022 article would be one good point for it, but I'd think that a "major" university would have at least one press article per year about it that I could defend as "significant" but except for some bit stories about the success (and failure) of their basketball teams, I can't find anything.

Seems to be a hoax --- for one, it is a dish that includes a combination of snake meat, cat meat, and chicken. For another, all sources on both the English and Chinese article lead to a 404 page; possibly bogus links created by generative AI. YAQUBROLI T | C 13:09, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm pretty confident that this isn't a hoax - the dish is mentioned in plenty of sources in both English and Chinese (e.g. [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]). Obviously many of those aren't reliable sources or aren't SIGCOV of the dish — I'm not sure whether the dish is notable yet (will try to have a proper look soon), but I'm confident that it is real.

- Market Leader: Last week, Planon was named the #1 company in its field by Verdantix, an independent research firm (for the fourth time, just added that source to the page as well). That kind of recognition shows it’s not just another random company .
- Strategic Role: Planon’s acquisition by Schneider Electric and its partnership with SAP also proves it’s not just another business but a strategic one in the industry.
- The acquisition by SE also got decent media attention (which was not only about Planon but also highlighted its competitors like Spacewell, MRI and AppFolio, showing where it fits in the industry).

- Pierre Guelen expanded his one-man business into a global player and receives a prestigious honor
- Pierre Guelen from Wijchen was appointed Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau on Saturday evening. This royal decoration is awarded for exceptional achievements with an international impact or significant national influence.
- Job van der Meer | 26-05-24, 16:12
- The company Planon, which Guelen founded as a one-man business in 1982, has grown into an enterprise with fifteen offices worldwide and approximately 1,000 employees.

Over forty years later, his software for smart and sustainable building management is now being used in 40 countries.

- Green Quadrant: Connected Portfolio Intelligence Platforms (CPIP/IWMS) 2025
- By Joy Trinquet With Claire Stephens January 2025
- This report provides a detailed, fact-based comparison of the 12 most prominent connected portfolio intelligence platform (CPIP)/integrated workplace management system (IWMS) software providers in the market. Based on the proprietary Verdantix Green Quadrant methodology, our analysis comprised two-and-a-half-hour live product demonstrations with pre-set scenarios, desk research and vendor responses to a 184-point questionnaire covering eight technical, nine functional and eight market momentum categories. We also conducted interviews with 17 software users and reviewed the data from our global survey of 303 corporate real estate and facilities management executives. Verdantix analysis finds that vendors are transitioning from legacy IWMS solutions to CPIP offerings to meet customer demand for greater data integration and analytics. Among the firms analysed in this study, eight providers – Planon, IBM, Eptura, MRI Software, Tango, Johnson Controls, Spacewell-Nemetschek and Nuvolo – demonstrated leading CPIP/IWMS capabilities.
- ....
- In the Green Quadrant analysis, Planon is the highest performer, achieving an aggregate score of 2.2/3.0 on the capabilities axis and a score of 2.4/3.0 on the momentum axis. Planon has remained in the Leaders’ Quadrant since Verdantix first ran the IWMS Green Quadrant report in 2017.

- In my opinion, these sources aren’t “trivial coverage,” and I also don’t think the award is non-notable — if it was, it probably wouldn’t have its own Wikipedia page, right?

The existence of an article also doesn't imply that its subject is notable. Plenty of articles are created about non-notable topics, such as the one we're discussing right now. It is also clear that you are either unable or unwilling to read the policies that I have cited because WP: NCORP clearly states that "standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage, such as ... the hiring, promotion, or departure of personnel [and] of the expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business." do not establish notability. Do not insert any more sources into this discussion until you have read these policies. You are wasting valuable volunteer time by ignoring them. HyperAccelerated (talk) 17:24, 28 January 2025 (UTC)]
- Thanks for your response. I have read the policies and still none of my sources fall under hiring, promotion, or departure of personnel, nor are they standard notices, brief announcements, or routine coverage of expansions, acquisitions, or mergers. Instead, they analyze and discuss the acquisition and its industry impact - but anyways:

The article perpetuates inaccuracies by including non-Hindu dynasties and presenting speculative timelines, which distorts history. Mr.Hanes]Talk 04:37, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

- Delete Reading the cited sources, as well as the those floated during this discussion, I would say that 99% of the content here is unsupported by them. Studying a few random entries: Kushan Empire, Licchavis of Nepal, and Pala Empire, I can't agree with the claim that "most of the entries are clearly correct" or the idea that complex information about 150+ empires and dynasties can be shoehorned into a verifiable table. List of Indian monarchs needs a six-column table just to lay out different views on the start and end dates of the Pala Empire! Some of the kings of the Kushan Empire and Pala Empire were Hindu, other were Buddhist or Zoroastrian, a nuance lost by trying to squeeze messy history into a pretty table. --Worldbruce (talk) 09:37, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CR (talk) 10:28, 29 January 2025 (UTC)- Comment Dear colleague: There are almost no sources listed for the items on this list. The three serious sources at the end have been added by me to justify the removal of mythical dynasties into their own table at the bottom (prior to that surgery these kingdoms were also in the main table with completely fictional dates and details, and the only two sources covered two tiny aspects, see the Old revision of List of Hindu empires and dynasties). My three sources thus do not support the information in the list itself and I am practically sure that most of the dates at the top of the table are also fictional (the ones I have marked with {{cn}} contradict our own articles about the kingdoms, not the sources - that are mostly absent in these articles, too). I do not understand what can be done to verify, for example, the 1900BC claims for the Hindu kingdom at the top of the list, as mainstream historians apparently declare that Aryan people (proto-Indians) had settled in what is now India many centuries later. For the avoidance of doubt, I am no expert on the subject. Викидим (talk) 11:18, 29 January 2025 (UTC)]

- Keep: I would suggest keeping this article but removing the references to "Hindu". Perhaps the article can be titled "List of empires and dynasties of the Indian subcontinent". The subject matter of this article includes proto- and early history which by its very nature will not have sufficient recorded references. Nevertheless, the information contained here is useful, and most users will know to consume it with caution. I do not believe there is a deliberate attempt at creating disinformation (hoax), and I do not believe there is bias. It does lack verifiability, and can be addressed with appropriate disclaimers, which I believe the author has already put in place in the introduction. I think this is a useful enough compilation that it should be improved as much as possible, but not deleted. Rsata (talk) 11:58, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

- Delete, the list has many issues given by posters above. I would suggest that this is due to being an example of the complex cross-categorization mentioned in WP:NLIST. This list is essentially trying to tie together 3 aspects, "Hindu", "empires", and "dynasties". Issues have been raised with both "Hindu" and "empires" above, so there isn't an intersection of two that really works here, and the various cleanups proposed seem to essentially create new lists with new criteria.

- Keep: I think this is the wrong approach, but there is a problem here. The distinction of these articles is logical: soprano clarinet is a specific type of instrument, while clarinet is the instrumental family and should provide a broad overview of clarinets. However, I'm not opposed to a merge of clarinet family into the latter due to overlap and think that may be worth exploring instead. Regardless, this article should not be merged into the overarching topic article any more than bass clarinet or E-flat clarinet as it is not a redundant topic. I'll leave few references below that may help patch this article up. Those should help in article development, I can supply more if needed. UpTheOctave! • 8va? 21:01, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

- I'll start you off, basset-horn. There is definite scope for expansion on the specific subject from these sources, given the state of the article at hand. I barely skimmed Baines 1991 as the first two are strong indications that sourcing is available and expansion is possible; a quick look at its index indicates that it too covers the C clarinet in several places throughout the book. And since I mention Rice, past president of the American Musical Instrument Society, clarinetist, and OUP-published clear subject expert, there's another book by Rice that seems to have a fair bit to say about this subject throughout its length: Rice 2008 . Reading the sources, it seems clear that what we have here is a crap article, not a crap scope for a future article. I know at least one fact not in the present article just from reviewing these sources: Mahler and Strauss revived the use of the C clarinet in the 20th century.(Baines 1991, p. 120) Uncle G (talk) 08:46, 29 January 2025 (UTC)]

Keep. UpTheOctave! has hit the nail on the head: in any family of musical instruments, there are generalities that apply to all, and specifics that apply to individual sizes. If we put the specifics in the main article, it will often be too long, and there's a strong risk that the article will give undue weight to "odd" sizes about which much can be written, but which are rarely actually played. Putting the specifics in a separate article makes the overarching "family" article a lot more manageable, and means editors can expand on the specific sizes of instrument to their readers' hearts' content. It also deals with the fact that it's a bit arbitrary when we give an instrument a totally different name (viola versus violin) and when we use the family name with some qualifier.

- Indeed. "small station on the Wabash Railroad called Mardenis" in the source is unambiguous. Although for completeness I should note that Victor Eldon Stech upgraded it to "village" in xyr 1940 The Development of Huntington County. The Huntington County Historical Society's 1993 history book (Turner, ISBN 9781563111211) barely mentions Mardenis, but there are several early 20th century specialist trade sources (The American Elevator and Grain Trade, The Co-operative Manager and Farmer, Grain and Feed Journals Consolidated) that report, for examples, the Mardenis Equity Exchange going bankrupt in 1922 and the grain elevator fire of 1923 that cost US$10,000 (equivalent to $184,551 in 2024). Things going bankrupt and up in smoke a century ago seems like an explanation for there being nothing there today. ☺]
It's a shameful reflection on the editors with accounts to see that an editor without an account who correctly went with this being a railroad station rather than the "unincorporated community" dren, and tried to correctly link it to Andrews, Indiana (albeit by the wrong article title) in agreement with the station order that is (for example) in C. J. Phillips's 1965 The History of Indiana, was reverted by Cards84664 for no good reason at Special:Diff/1006680664.

As the article's subject, I'd like to request that the article be deleted.
I am a non-notable, private person, and so the article about me does not meet the notability criteria.
Specifically:
1. This BLP article is already designated as low-importance one. Indeed, although I have made contributions to my field, numerous individuals who have made much more significant and impactful contributions do not have their Wikipedia pages. Although I have been elected a Fellow of AIAA, my professional society, overwhelming majority of 800+ AIAA Fellows and also Fellows of other similar societies do not have Wikipedia pages. There are hundreds, if not thousands, people in my field who are much more famous, have much higher citation counts, are Fellows of one or more professional societies and Members of the highly prestigious National Academy of Engineering or National Academy of Inventors (of which I am not a Member), and have no Wikipedia pages. For example: Prof. Richard B. Miles, Texas A&M University (formerly of Princeton U.), Prof. Mark J. Kushner (U. of Michigan), Prof. Graham Candler (U. of Minnesota), Prof. Alexander A. Fridman (Drexel U.), and many, many others. In short, I believe that my notability is too low for a Wikipedia BLP article.
2. My 'notoriety' stems from the single offence described in the current article as Legal Issues. However, all that notoriety is due to initial police-made accusation of dealing drugs, which was immediately interpreted by the media as a real-life case of "Breaking Bad" TV series. When these bogus accusations of drug dealing disappeared (they were never filed in court rather than "dropped") and only a single misdemeanor offence remained, national and international media immediately lost all interest. Only local media, i.e. a student-run newspaper, a small-town newspaper, and a local TV station reported on the developments since then. As it is, the single misdemeanor offence certainly does not meet the Wikipedia notability criteria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SMacheret (talk • contribs) 19:31, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

- I'll note that the article does predate his legal problems; it was created in 2020, and there were all of three revisions (the creation, a bot's formatting fixes, and a category addition) before material on the legal issues were first added by an IP. Material related to that then came and went quite a bit over the next year or so, along with multiple semi-protections over BLP violations and/or sockpuppetry. Any technicalities related to that might not necessarily justify retaining an article the subject clearly does not want to remain on Wikipedia (even if the other half of the rationale basically amounts to ]

overwhelming majority of 800+ AIAA Fellows and also Fellows of other similar societies do not have Wikipedia pages
does not itself matter one way or the other. XOR'easter (talk) 21:30, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep per Deb. As far as I can tell from what I found in Google Books, "Scandinavian music" is a thing. You'll find books on "Scandinavian music" generally, and comments such as "Scandinavian music as a whole" [52] and "Scandinavian music . . . is distinctive" and is "a school": [53]. You will find, even in English, Billboard spotlight "review of the year" articles on Scandanavian music in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1979, 1981 and probably every other year, though I can't search the entire run. And Scandanavia has had music periodicals since at least the 18th century: [54]. And I think that indicates that most years in Scandanavian music are likely notable.

The following is a list of YouTubers for whom Wikipedia has articles either under their own name or their YouTube channel name.
For any YouTuber without an article on that page, it is very likely their channel has an article instead.

The result was delete. The argument that a city councilor for a large city is inherently notable is a reasonable one based on first common sense, but as it is not codified - POLOUTCOMES does not count as codification - I cannot overrule counterarguments that holding such a position is insufficient, and in this case the latter argument has drawn more support.

Relisting comment: POLOUTCOMES is not a community endorsed guideline or policy. It is instead a recording of what has happened. But when challenged an article should be shown to be notable and not by relying on the OUTCOMES page.

- delete Mostly this is an argument that WP:POLOUTCOMES is, like many such notability tests, largely bad where it is invoked. There is no explicit claim of notability, and Mr. Chico is not claimed to have done anything that anyone outside of the city limits might care about; I have to suspect that even in Chicago he is a relatively anonymous figure to those who don't have to deal with him on a work basis. There are a very few cases where city councilmembers have come to notoriety, but considering for example Marion Barry, most of his infamy came about while he was mayor, and his second go-'round on the council was largely notable simply because he was elected at all after the drug bust. There is no claim that this person even vaguely approaches that. Mangoe (talk) 05:06, 22 January 2025 (UTC)]
- Keep if the article sees improvement, delete if it doesn't. While it's true that Chicago is a large, internationally prominent city whose city councillors would commonly be accepted as passing run of the mill candidate questionnaires of the type that even the non-winning candidates who lost the election would still be able to show.]
I don't know enough about Chicago politics to know whether the necessary depth of improvement is possible here or not, but it would require significantly more substance and sourcing than this to become keepable. POLOUTCOMES means that substantive articles about big-city councillors are permissible, not that just writing and sourcing the bare minimum necessary to verify that the person exists would be enough in and of itself. Bearcat (talk) 18:32, 22 January 2025 (UTC) - Delete notability isn't conditional and I simply don't see a notability pass here, just local coverage of a local politician.

- No, not really - this article doesn't pass WP:BLP concerns, and I can't find anything which easily saves it. I'd expect most Chicago councillors might be notable, especially ones people have put time into, but right now we need better sources to keep this specific article.

- Keep - Clearly notable witht he sources already in the article and many more Portuguese sources and he has ongoing career at one of top Premier League clubs. Saying a sporting director at one of top Premier League clubs is "irrelevant tbh" is a great rationale. I have definitely improved my page creation, especially formatting and will continue to improve, which has led to me creating way less articles than before. I always mind my own business and have never once attacked others unless I am attacked... I find threats from users like this one incredibly funny... nothing against them or their articles but I'm not super clear why someone whose last few articles include Albert Niculăesei Evellyn Marques, Izan Yurrieta etc is asking me to stop creating articles, like I am confused how they are somehow signifcantly better quality (I won't even get into the notability part, I do not think they should be deleted but am certain if I created them they would be deleted) than my recent pages like Johan Manzambi, Gaël Lafont, and Robinio Vaz etc. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 01:54, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

- You told me and @WP:BURDEN to me, but @Zanaharyis indeed correct: this is not the place to report this... I'll create an ANI or something like this when I have the time.

- @WP:FOOTY/Players.
- I only brought up old articles because you promised in your talk page, more than once, to improve your old creations. I didn't see you do so in every time you promised that. You only created more and more articles, which led to more and more warnings, and more and more empty promises.
- Giving you a little perspective: it only took me a minute to find out Marques' full name and POB. All we asked you is more effort to create pages, to avoid more complains. Is not that hard, is it? :) BRDude70 (talk) 05:20, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
- Lol my bad, I kept on interpreting it as mainly complaining about problems with recent ones instead of the improvement of old ones... I misunderstood the emphasis on the fixing of old creations so kept on creating new articles to show improvement. I am going to vastly improve many old articles, starting with the three above.
