Non-notable musical theatre actor. There are online reviews for a few things he has been featured in (for example, a Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime), but most results are just passing mentions in casting annoucements etc - there was also an article he wrote for The Independent about Alan Turing getting put on a new banknote.

In other words, no significant secondary coverage. Leonstojka (talk) 12:19, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I created the article because the album forms part of a notable artistic shift for Natasha St-Pier. The artist is one of the best known contemporary female French pop artists, known for her appearance in Eurovision Song Contest 2001, and for a string of hit albums of a strictly secular nature. Her shift to a Catholic devotional theme created considerable comment, as is reflected in the biography on the RFI website: note that this significant coverage in a reliable, independent source.

A crossroads with one farmstead which judging by the aerials has hardly changed in seventy years. So given that it's named after a postmaster, almost certainly just a 4th class post office. Searching produced lots of people named "Yenne" but nothing of substance. Mangoe (talk) 18:46, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Location did exist, as the article explains. Article is supported by valid sources. If someone ever searches for this location, it's reasonable to locate this article. There's no harm in keeping it, and no specific violation of Wikipedia policy or guidelines to delete it. Truthanado (talk) 01:06, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I see I will have to spell it out. As a rule, per
WP:GNIS
, you can see the kind of problems with it that have caused us to disregard its "populated place" categorization as implying a settlement. In this case it's clear that the place was a 4th class post office, back before RFD, when people had to go and pick up their mail rather than having it delivered. We've found these in all sorts of places, and having it someone's house is quite common. That leaves us with Baker's place names origin book. After all this time in Indiana, it has become clear that when he says a place is a village, he's not very reliable about that.
As far as the "harm" is concerned, first off, the WP euphemism of "community" to describe these places is largely unsourceable. It is quite clear after years of dealing with hundreds of these that "populated place" cannot be taken to imply a town or a "community" because there are too many flat-out mistakes, never minding the whole post office thing. We've consistently held that these 4th class post offices aren't notable. "Community" doesn't mean anything concrete anyway. In a lot of cases we can find turn-of-the-century county histories which are generally pretty clear about places where there was an actual town or at least an attempt to have one. The problem in the large is that these articles were mass-created from GNIS without appreciation of its problems, and in some states (though not Indiana so much) the other sources such as place name books were misrepresented. "Community" seems to have been seized upon in an attempt to have people read these places as towns which satisfy GEOLAND without actually claiming that they were towns. So the issue is really about telling the truth about these places, because if truth were told, that many of these were just places to pick up mail, or places with passing sidings and perhaps a station stop on the railroad, or summer camps and resorts, they would be deleted because they don't satisfy GNG. Mangoe (talk) 12:46, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Just a onetime post office, fails
    WP:GEOLAND without high-quality sources (a listing of post offices is no such thing), plus all the reasons nom listed. As for "no harm in keeping it", our articles are constantly being scraped for geolocations and to train AI, and keeping nonsense stubs like this is polluting these data with noise. I just typed "yenne indiana auto detailing" into Google and at the top of the list were two Yelp listings for auto detailing "near" Yenne, and only after consulting a map could you determine they were all 50+ miles away. We don't need to be enabling monetized garbage like this by keeping useless articles on nonexistent subjects. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 12:11, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply

Keep. A notable journalist. The article has multiple good sources, and more can surely be found based on his career hosting a number of notable shows.

  • Keep. Although he lost the recount and thus isn't notable as a
    politician per se, he already had preexisting notability as a journalist before jumping into politics — seriously, Canadians have known his name since the 1990s, and the fact that nobody got around to creating the article until he appeared to have won election as an MP isn't relevant. Article does need some improvement, but he had preexisting notability as a journalist long before narrowly losing an election — so I've already reformatted it to place more emphasis and improved sourcing on the journalism.

Even for a book publisher there are also not that many hits for their books, it is almost entirely citations to one book they published (which is notable), to an extent where I was able to look through the citations relatively completely. The 4th source is sigcov... but written by the founder of the company. The single piece of independent sigcov is the 5th source in this article, which is [29] this, which is fine.

Creator here. I've added three more independent sources, being a scholarly monograph, an art market paper and an obituary.

Of course I understand that the source base is small, but I wrote the article because I couldn't figure out what this press that had published several important writers was.

That source is fine. Now we have the two sources about the company, but this is still not enough for ]
To be factual, besides the sources you don't dispute (Galik; Taylor), Brennan is by the narrowest definition four sentences and Bruno three (or four if you also include p. 121). The Chinese source mentions them not, as you write, for a single sentence, but two (it doesn't permit copy-pasting, but the section begins with 其中 and goes to footnote 6). In all of these cases the surrounding text also bears on the situation of WP in the translation and publishing environment of the day. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 21:36, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Only sentence in the Chinese source that refers to them: "其中A.R.戴维斯的“杜甫雨诗赏析”是我读到的最好最真切的唐诗英译! 80年代初悉尼大学的Mabel Lee(陈顺妍)博士还创立了野牡丹出版社,出版了大量优秀的亚洲文学翻译作品以及早期移民的英文作品比如来自广东的Stanley Hunt先生写的《从石岐到悉尼》" [
[One of the best and most authentic English translations of Tang poems I have ever read is A.R. Davies' “An Appreciation of Du Fu's Rain Poems”! In the early 80's, Dr. Mabel Lee (Chen Shunyan) from the University of Sydney also founded the Wild Peony Press, which published a large number of excellent translations of Asian literature, as well as early immigrants' works in English, such as “From Shiqi to Sydney” written by Mr. Stanley Hunt from Guangdong.] the footnote is a citation and does not contain more sentences. The next sentence does not mention them, only Lee. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Using text on the "surrounding situation" would be
WP:SYNTH

And sentences about Lee that do not mention Peony do not count for information on the publisher. And three sentences in a single short paragraph is also not
WP:SIRS ... I can't access anything in Southerly but I would be surprised if the quality of coverage was any different. Most of these sources are really about Lee. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:26, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply
]
You're right about the Chinese source; I misread, apologies. As for Southerly, it isn't fair to make assumptions if you haven't read it. From p. 215 of the Southerly article:

"Considering the decline in foreign language education over the last ten years — especially those languages key to our region such as Bahasa Indonesia, Mandarin and Japanese — it might be said, in Howardspeak, monolingualism is all about a fair go. This is a sad possibility for the broader Australian community, which is in actu - ality richly polyglot. Thankfully, Mabel Lee’s and A. D. Syrokomia- Stefanowska’s work with Wild Peony has been a particular boon, bringing in work that may not have otherwise appeared, and is part of a larger, albeit under-sup ported, effort on the part of Australian translators, native-speaking collabor tors and publishers to offer foreign language literature to an Australian audience. Mabel Lee’s translations of Nobel Prize winner Gao Xingjian and Yang Lian, Simon Patton’s translations, editing and collaboration through the Chinese pages of Poetry International Web, Ouyang Yu’s work with Otherland, Peter Boyle’s translations from Spanish and French, and Leith Morton’s translations of Shuntaro Tanikawa, Ishigaki Rin, and Koike Masayo, along with various Australian literary journals (notably Heat and Southerly), and Melbourne University’s Asialink Program are some of the key recent examples of Australian translators and pub - lishers working against the abashed and embarrassed tide of Australian monolingualism. The publication of collections such as Naikan Tao and Tony Prince’s Eight Contemporary Chinese Poets, and the work of small publishers such as Wild Peony Press, are an important move against cultural parochialism.

Keep - This is an small, independent press publishing poetry and literary fiction. These publications are not often covered in mainstream press, yet their publications play a role in literary communities. Curious why, with public funding of arts largely stripped in the U.S., librarians being fired, this is the right time to delete a small press from Wikipedia? 174.238.164.181 (talk) 13:52, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep— many of the authors who have been published by Elixir Press continue to be active and are producing new works. Because of the nature of Elixir’s work as an independent press focused in part on debut authors, several authors may have been lesser known at the time of their publication, but have grown in notability. Agree that to focus on the possible deletion of an article on an independent press is particularly troubling when literature and the arts are being devalued at large. 64.135.133.153 (talk) 22:59, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Press itself isn't going away, nor are the authors or published works.

Agree--it is troubling given premier role this press plays and context: current state of the arts/Wikipedia's purpose/the need for public support of poetry even if things were glorious. It is one of a few presses that new poets DREAM their work will be published by. People in the poetry world look to it too, to identify and read up and coming writers.

  • Rename to Shipwrecks of Cape Town, which implies a slight expansion of scope. Article was nominated prematurely while under construction (and is still under construction).

  • Keep and rename to "List of shipwrecks in the Western Cape" - I completely agree with renaming this. The article itself is pretty bad and needs a lot of cleanup, but it's a valid NLIST article if you look at the sourcing, especially the book which groups these topics together.

    There are dozens more shipwrecks in the Western Cape, perhaps hundreds. I do not have anywhere near the same quality of sources for them at this stage so would recommend 'Shipwrecks of Cape Town' or 'Shipwrecks of Table Bay, Robben Island, the Cape Peninsula, and False Bay', as the preferred title. A conservative estimate for the article size when I have finished with current sources would be in the order of 140K and around 80 sections, which is big enough. Also there are differences in the reasons for shipwrecks occurring on this particular part of the coast compared to the rest of the Western Cape.

    @Zzz plant- that NYtimes piece is actually a good example of how WOL is notable, but Kiswani is less notable. The piece is about her organization, not her.
    In WP:Run-of-the-mill they give an example of a local strip mall that is important to locals, but not anyone else. I think that might describe Kiswani. She organizes local student protests and says some inflammatory stuff on twitter, but otherwise she’s small time. This is a New York, college phenomenon.
    I stumbled on her page while editing unrelated content (lively / baldoni stuff) and before that time had personally never encountered a news article about her.

    ]
    @Closetside - I originally held this view, but now I’m not so sure. Much of it seems small IMO and the bigger stuff does not have Kiswani as the primary actor. It’s more about how someone sent emails to her dean, or the police broke up a protest, or someone accused her of antisemitism.
    I’m not part of this protest / IP conflict world, but in my view it seems like a lot of college drama, not anything big. At one point I was debating someone about including a sentence where a local legislator withheld 50k in student funding and I’m sorry but that’s so small potatoes. What are we doing here?
    I know there are articles about her, but they’re more about her work through WOL and the reaction therein. Maybe it would make sense to merge with WOL?
    It we want to keep this article, I’m going to need some help pivoting so she is the subject of her own story, instead of writing about AOC’s reaction to something she did. DuckOfOrange (talk) 03:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: clearly meets ]
  • Weak keep or Merge to Within Our Lifetime. Serving as SJP chapter president, leading student votes, and speaking at graduation are typical (and admirable) roles in student activism, but they didn’t have much broader impact. The article notes that Kiswani has spoken at community events (including one for 80 girls and women at her local Muslim community center), been banned from Columbia, joined a CAIR lawsuit against the NYPD, made strong political statements, and been the subject of harassment, but none of this rises, in my view, to independent, lasting notability. Being the subject of backlash, campus disputes, or protest footage without shaping policy, institutions, or discourse doesn’t meet the bar. Most of the coverage is reactive and focused on her role in Within Our Lifetime, rather than on notable achievements of her own. She hasn’t authored, led, or significantly shaped anything beyond local organizing. That said, she is a visible activist, and the attention she’s received can't be denied and is reflected in the sources cited above. On that technical basis, I’m leaning weak keep, though merge may be the better fit. Mooonswimmer 01:03, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article fails to meet the notability guidelines as outlined in

WP:N. The subject is not the focus of any significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. The few mentions that do exist are passing and do not provide the depth of material necessary to support a standalone article.

Since he only played 49 minutes in the highest Swedish league, and continued in the non-pro third tier, it's unquestionable to me that he fails

      The review notes: "Licence to Grill makes people, even those who have no inkling about cooking, want to buy a grill set and start flipping steaks, seafood and vegetables. With a huge smile on his face, Rainford makes cooking look simple and easy. ...   He always has different themes for his shows. Mardi Gras, Godfather Italian feast, pool party, World Cup pub fare, vegetarian BBQ, Chinese dinner barbecue, for example.  So, get your licence to grill from this guy for he comes with unique and interesting recipes - brew burgers for a bar-beer-que celebration, grilled grouper and almond butter, barbecued lamb steaks with mango mint chutney.  The episodes usually show him getting ready for guests at his backyard.  His unique style of explaining, the excellent camera shots of the food, "rib-tickling" comments and tips set Licence to Grill apart from other humdrum cooking shows.  While most viewers consider this show highly entertaining, there are some who are put off by his over-exuberant delivery."

    2. Lofaro, Tony (2003-05-14). "The heat is on: TV producer wants Ottawa stand-ins for new cooking show". Ottawa Citizen. p. B8. ProQuest 240659411.

      The article notes: "That's the formula for the new outdoor cooking show Licence To Grill produced by Ottawa-based TV-food guru Chris Knight that begins firing up the first of its 26 shows next week on a special set built at a west-end home. ...  The 26-part series begins airing June 27 on The Food Network, available to Rogers digital cable subscribers and on Bell Expressvu."

    3. "Tube talk". Toronto Star. 2003-08-13. p. D3. ProQuest 438621159.

      The article notes: "Food Network Canada is airing a 26-part series called Licence To Grill, hosted by affable Jamaica-born chef Rob Rainford (below), who teaches at George Brown College. I like his easy-going, straightforward recipes and presentation, sprinkled with general tips. The show is built around barbecuing challenges Rainford faces with his fictional neighbours, bosses, friends and family. It's a nice change in comparison to the relentless WASPish barbecuing on other shows. Check local listings for show times."

    4. Eade, Ron (2003-10-01). "It's Licence to Grill rather than to kill; Don't barbecue food to death: TV host".
      Newspapers.com
      .

      The review notes: "Produced in Ottawa, the popular cooking show is seen on the Food Network. Each episode takes place on a Saturday afternoon as Rainford prepares to have people over to dinner that evening in his make-believe back yard. The idea of the show is, first of all, to entertain. And while he's entertaining, Rainford can occasionally slip in some useful information to help male machismos in TV land master the art of the grill. On Licence to Grill, for example, viewers aren't just told to add two tablespoons of fish sauce to a marinade -- they're told to add fish sauce "because it is salty."  Similarly, Rainford discourages back-yard chefs from trying to get grill marks on the red snapper because if they do, the fish will be overcooked and inedible."

    5. Eade, Ron (2003-10-10). "Take a peek behind the scenes of a popular cooking show like License to Grill and you'll find a platoon of helpers, assistants, producers, writers, chefs and food stylists". Cornwall Standard-Freeholder. ProQuest 240698524. Archived from the original on 2025-05-25. Retrieved 2025-05-25.

      The article notes: " That's pretty much what I discovered recently when I wandered onto the set of TV's popular new cooking series, Licence to Grill.  There, producers for Knight Enterprises were taping another 13 episodes in Ottawa to air on the Food Network next spring. Producer Kathy Doherty invited me along for a look-see, and to do a cameo appearance at the very end of a segment when everyone gets to sit down and eat. (Gee, I figured, I can do that.)  The story line (plot, if you must get technical) is rather simple: Each episode is supposed to take place on a lovely Saturday afternoon as host/chef Robert Rainford, himself a stunningly handsome real-live chef who teaches at George Brown College in Toronto, prepares to have people over for dinner that evening in his breathtakingly beautiful backyard."

    6. Foley, Doug (2004-08-06). "Licence to grill: Rob Rainford cooks up a storm".
      Newspapers.com
      .

      The article notes: "The host of Licence to Grill has become one of the key personalities on Food Network Canada. His half-hour barbecue show is in its second season and has been signed for at least three more. It airs Thursday at 8 p.m. as well as Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5:30 p.m. Food Network gave Rainford a big boost on Canada Day when it aired episodes of Licence to Grill for most of the holiday. ... Each episode of Licence to Grill features Rainford preparing a full meal for a dinner party. One of the show's plusses that his menus are accessible to even the casual griller. Hot dogs and hamburgers have hit his TV grill as often as legs of lamb and lobsters."

    7. Greenberg, Lee (2003-05-21). "Licence to Grill show off to a sizzling start". Ottawa Citizen. p. F3. ProQuest 240641755.

      The article notes: "Filming began this week in Ottawa's west end on the set of a locally produced outdoor cooking show, Licence to Grill. The genre- busting barbecue show is filmed on a $35,000 outdoor set.   An article in last week's Food section invited Citizen readers to apply to become party guests -- extras -- on the show. Up to 10 people will appear in background scenes, eventually serving as samplers once the food is prepared."

    8. Less significant coverage:
      1. Sampson, Susan (2009-12-09). "'License to grill' chef moving indoors". Toronto Star. p. E9. ProQuest 439636324. Archived from the original on 2025-05-25. Retrieved 2025-05-25.

        The article notes: "You probably know Rainford as the star of the Food Network Canada series Licence to Grill. ... Change is in the air as Licence to Grill has ended a five-season, 104-episode run."

    There is sufficient coverage in
    reliable sources to allow Licence to Grill to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • weak Keep : the problem with subjects like this is that we require reliable secondary sources, not just usage of the term in primary works of fiction/poems/tales. So preferably a (scholarly) discussion about the place, not just evidence that the word is used by someone. I found [58] [59] [60] (probably there are more) on top of the three sources found above which is not as in depth as I would like but at least there are multiple independent secondary sources on this topic which should be enough for a short article. --hroest 13:52, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This article appears to be promotional in nature, as evidenced by its edit history and previous discussions at Articles for Deletion. A cursory search reveals that the subject, H477r1ck, is actually James Ball, who serves on the board of HackMiami. This raises concerns about a potential conflict of interest, given HackMiami's status as a for-profit organization with a history of using Wikipedia for self-promotional purposes, notably to advertise their conference. Furthermore, the article contains citations that are either unreliable or missing altogether, which compromises its overall reliability and neutrality.

This page suffers from multiple critical issues.

Much of the background is not directly relevant to the United Bengal proposal and appears to be original synthesis.

Big Four (cycling) (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)

Some sources will speak of a big 6, others of a big 3: this is arbitrary and very fleeting. Unthinkable to many to suggest that Matthieu van der Poel is not part of the biggest n riders at the moment. A few years ago there was an entirely different top few riders, in 5 years these guys won't be winning any more. Nothing of lasting relevance: this is a no more than a questionable snapshot of standings in the sport right now. Kevin McE (talk) 22:22, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand there are probably one-off cases of sources using "Big N" to discuss random groups of riders, but considering there are multiple independent sources (e.g. [64] [65]) that define the term (not just mentioning it in passing), there are articles that discuss inclusion in the group (Is Remco Evenepoel Part of Pro Cycling’s ‘Big Four’?), and sources that refer to coverage of the group ([66] references "the much-talked about 'Big Four'"), I think this rises beyond an "arbitrary" grouping.
There has been usage of the term for this specific group of riders for nearly a year and a half (since December 2023), and frequent usage by many different organizations since the 2024 Tour de France, which I feel is more than "very fleeting". It would be a different conversation if I had created this article immediately after the 2024 Tour, but considering usage has continued and frequently appears in articles and previews for 2025 events (for example, these two previews for the 2025 Giro d'Italia starting this weekend both mention the Big Four: [67] [68]).
Mathieu van der Poel is not a GC contender for stage races, which is likely why he is not included in this grouping, which the article (and quoted sources) make clear is about success in stage races and Grand Tours, not a general group of "top riders" Verylongandmemorable (talk) 22:52, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Already commented but just wanted to add: I think the argument that "in 5 years these guys won't be winning any more" conflicts with
    WP:CRYSTALBALL. Whether or not these riders are successful in the future, the term is widely used currently and has been defined since 2023. Assuming that it will be forgotten is not a prediction we are able to confidently make (and IMO is a bold prediction considering 3 of the 4 riders are 28 years old or younger) Verylongandmemorable (talk) 23:27, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply

    Phrase is incredibly flexible and transient: a journalistic device but not a meaningful and lasting concept. Kevin McE (talk) 07:10, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I appreciate the additional sources to consider. However, there's a significant difference in coverage between the "Big N" examples you've provided, and usage of "Big Four" to refer to the grouping of Pogacar, Vingegaard, Evenepoel, and Roglic. It isn't just used within cycling media, but in mainstream, highly reliable sources, for example:
    • New York Times (via The Athletic): "INEOS Grenadiers have none of the sport’s big four on their books — Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic — who are currently the only men realistically able to win the Tour de France."
    • The Independent: "And with three of the so-called ‘Big Four’ absent from the race, the door appears wide open for Roglic to regain the crown he won two years ago ... It’s hard to look past Roglic taking home the pink jersey given he’s the only member of the so-called ‘Big Four’ who’ll ride in Italy."
    • The Guardian: "Pogacar, one of cycling’s “big four” stage race riders – Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic are the other three"
    Also, I'm a bit unclear on why the existence of a "Big Six" of cycling or "Big Three of the Classics" would negate the notability of this specific "Big Four" as an encyclopedic topic. The sources referenced in this discussion and in the article clearly delineate this quartet and their domain (stage races such as Grand Tours). As an analogy, if in men's tennis there was a future "Big Two" or "Big Six" that received significant coverage, would that erase the notability of the Big Three (tennis)? It could be worth noting in the article that a previous quartet of riders was referred to as the Big Four, but the articles you have sent are from 2015, so confusion with the current, widely discussed grouping of Pogacar, Vingegaard, Evenepoel, and Roglic is unlikely. The current "Big Four" has seen consistent definition and coverage for the last year and a half. Verylongandmemorable (talk) 17:01, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The point of mentioning the Froome/Quintana/Contador/Nibali top 4 is to give evidence that this is just a temporary grouping, as there have been in the past and will be in the future.
    In the tennis example, there might be grounds for saying that they are historically all historically great players (I don't really follow that sport): but by what grounds are Vingegaard and Evenepoel being positioned as historical greats in relation to grand tours?
    I acknowledge that it is a phrase used by journalists, but that does not mean that it is a concept of any durability or lasting significance. In the time I watched soccer there have been numerous different permutations described as the big 4 of English clubs: Everton used to be among them, Man City certainly weren't. Lazy journalistic phrases describing a short-lived status quo make very poor justification for encyclopaedic entries. Kevin McE (talk) 18:08, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep?: I did find sources suggesting there's been some feminist analysis of the name:
    • Language, Identity and the Cultural Context of Names in Selected Nigerian Novels in International Journal of Language and Literature 6(1) highlights it as a name referring to parents, noting The name Akunna - Father’s wealth (Apart, p. 128) may be viewed as sexist by some as it traditionally portrays the girl child as a father’s means of acquiring wealth mainly through marriage. However, the name may at present be interpreted as indicating that women have come of age and a woman can also change the fortunes of her parents.
    • A STUDY OF IBUSA NAMES: GENDER, MEANING, AND ATTITUDE in Marang: Journal of Language and Literature Vol 35 (2022) says this: Names denoting wealth that are associated with males favour them, while those associated with females disfavour them. ... Women are subjugated because they are associated with the following names: Akunna ‘father’s wealth’, Ogbeyeanu ‘a poor man will not marry my daughter’, and Egobuokwu ‘money talks or money is the trouble’. These names advertise the female child to the highest bidder. The female names convey the notion that having a girl child in the family enhances wealth through marriage. This practice perpetuates the feeling of dominance by men over women.
    • I can't access the contents of this book, Politics and Identity Formation in Southeastern Nigeria, but it does mention the name and its meaning, and may therefore have useful coverage of it.
That's not a lot, but it also gives us something substantive to say about the name. I'd expect more coverage in Igbo sources as well. I'm on the fence here, but it seems like there is potential so I slightly lean keep. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 04:50, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, as it is well-established. At IEEE, we're switching from a wide-range of different realities (augmented reality, mediated reality, mixed reality, digital reality, etc.) to XR as an overarching concept that includes all of these and more. It has been 34 years since Charles Wyckoff and I introduced eXtended Reality and eXtended Intelligence at MIT based on his work dating back to the mid century, and by now it has taken root in numerous industries, products, and new disciplines and fields of research. Originally, Wyckoff and I envisioned XR/XI as extending human senses and human intelligence, not just mixing or augmenting. For example, XR allows us to see sound waves, see radio waves, and even see the capacity of sensors to see (i.e. metavision, metaveillography, and metaveillogrammetry, sensing sensors and sensing their capacity to sense). These concepts include, but also go beyond, what's provided by the other realities. In addition to numerous books, papers, journals, conferences, and symposia on XR, there's a whole industry around it that includes industry standards in IEEE, ACM, and many other organizations. Glogger (talk) 18:34, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Given that Wikipedia values verifiability and the accurate representation of significant topics, the Extended Reality (XR) page should be kept. XR is widespread in industry, with many of the large technology corporations mentioning extended reality usecases at some of their largest conferences (CES and Google I/O). XR has been implemented for showcases and real-life applications. [1]Other manifestations of XR include healthcare (surgical visualization, therapy), education (virtual labs, immersive learning), engineering (digital twins, remote assistance), and entertainment (gaming, live events, virtual concerts). The term which encompasses AR, VR, and MR, ought to exist as a Wikipedia page, especially as it outlines a distinct and growing area of technology that is widely referenced in industry, academia, and media, and serves as an essential point of reference for understanding the current landscape and future of immersive technologies. A "superset" of various crucial advancements in technology that augment the experiences of individuals, and which is also widely referenced in media and academia, ought to have a Wikipedia page. Vicola23 (talk) 21:23, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The page was missing key references that defined the field clearly. Now some are added. It looks like some confusion was cleared up looking at the recent history. This article could stand to be improved more and have more subsections. It doesn't make sense to merge this into Augmented Reality when there are specific issues for XR involving human-in-the-loop and machine-in-the-loop that relate to VR and MR as well.Rianoj 03:22, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-Finno-Ugric substrate (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)

This is a bit of a difficult one. This page covers perhaps four separate topics - the

Paleo-Laplandic Saami substrate (which to a lesser extent also occurs in Finnic), the substrate in the Finno-Permic languages (which here is misleadingly described as the Finno-Volgaic substrate even though it also occurs in Permic), the issue of toponyms in Finland, and the substrate in the Nganasan language. Combining these substrates into a single topic of "Pre-Finno-Ugric substrate" is not notable, but the topics individually may have some notability. The Paleo-Laplandic languages topic already has its own article, and the information about the Finno-Permic substrate should probably go to the article about Finno-Permic languages. Toponyms in Finland could maybe get its own article, and the discussion about the Nganasan language can just go to the language's article. Stockhausenfan (talk) 08:39, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply

Oppose: the term is definitely used at least in Russian-language publications (i.e. Eugene Helimski used it as an umbrella term for 5 separate but related topics) and it's no less legitimate than, say, "Pre-Indo-European languages" or "Pre-Greek substrate". By the way, what I've read on the substrate in Finno-Volgaic languages (Zhivlov & Aikio) make only very few mentions of similar substrate word in Permic. Finstergeist (talk) 20:27, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In this paper Aikio gives several examples that have Permic cognates, see pages 45-46, and he specifically mentions this:
"a surprisingly large part of the vocabulary traditionally reconstructed for
‘Finno-Volgaic’ and ‘Finno-Permic’ (UEW: 605–827) involves irregular sound cor-
respondences and other etymological difficulties."
I.e. Finno-Permic is specifically mentioned (also Finno-Volgaic, but that is a subset of Finno-Permic, and the vocabulary there has the same features such as abundance of š).

:*Keep – Tacoma is an active Canadian country band with festival credits including the 2021 Cars and Country Stars Music Festival, where they were reviewed as a breakout act.[2] They’ve performed at major Alberta events such as the Southern Alberta Music Festival and Ol’ MacDonalds Resort Music Festival, and are currently receiving radio support. Additional independent coverage is being gathered to support notability. Socials are very active and being added as the process is being further understood.

Keep – Tacoma is a Canadian country rock band that meets the notability criteria at

WP:MUSICBIO through independent, non-trivial coverage. Their performance was reviewed in the 2021 Cars and Country Stars festival recap by Jamie Street, where they were named a “breakout supporting act.” This is third-party coverage published on the official festival website, not self-published or promotional. [92]

The band has appeared at multiple Alberta festivals:

  • 2021 – Cars and Country Stars (Irricana, AB)
  • 2022 – Ol’ MacDonalds Resort Music Festival
  • 2023 – Southern Alberta Music Festival (Mossleigh, AB)

Despite claims to the contrary, Tacoma has verifiable **streaming and social media presence**:

Thanks for the review, @Scope creep, and for pointing out areas that need better sourcing. I'm currently updating the article to include additional references that meet Wikipedia's standards for independent, reliable, and secondary coverage, as outlined in WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO.
While I understand the concern around regional visibility, I’d like to respectfully note that notability is not limited to global or mainstream acts. Tacoma is an active Canadian country-rock band with:
  • Consistent airplay and rotation on independent and syndicated Canadian radio stations.
  • Multiple provincial and national festival performances alongside established artists.
  • Press and coverage from recognized Canadian media outlets — which I’m currently incorporating as citations.
Wikipedia’s mission is to reflect the full scope of human knowledge, including cultural and regional music scenes. What may appear “local” to some editors may actually be nationally relevant within its genre and country, especially in a space like Canadian country music that has its own infrastructure and audience.
I’d welcome any additional guidance on structure, tone, or article formatting — but I’d ask that deletion not be rushed while sourcing and improvements are still being addressed. Xsbucks (talk) 00:15, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking the time to review the article. I'm in the process of tightening up the formatting and references, but I believe Tacoma clearly meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria under WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO.
The band has been active for over a decade and has a solid track record of notable performances and regional media coverage.
- Live Performances
Tacoma has performed at the Calgary Stampede (2022–2024), which is one of Canada’s largest music and cultural events. They’ve also played main stages at:
Cars and Country Stars Festival (2021–2025)
Southern Alberta Music Festival
Teepee Creek Stampede (2023), where they shared the stage with Corb Lund, High Valley, and Trevor Panczak
- Original Music
The band has released multiple singles across major platforms, including:
Tangled Up (2013)
Bottle Rocket (2022)
Gettin’ Out Alive (2025)
Music Video for Bottle Rocket on Youtube (2022)
New album releasing Summer of 2025
Their music is streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, with airplay support from Canadian country stations.
- Media Coverage
Tacoma has been covered by independent media outlets such as:
Western Wheel for regional live performances
CJVR and Meadow Lake Now through on-air and online interviews
Festival-related articles and reviews through Cars and Country Stars media coverage
These are not trivial mentions — they’re editorial features and reviews from independent outlets with established reputations.
I’ll continue to clean up citation formatting, but I believe this article reflects a band that has earned its place through ongoing, verifiable contributions to the Canadian country music scene. Xsbucks (talk) 00:28, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks again for the input. Just to clarify: Wikipedia notability is not based on social media followers or streaming counts, but on significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources, as outlined in [WP:GNG] and [WP:MUSICBIO].
    Tacoma has received editorial coverage from:
    • Western Wheel and Cars and Country Stars media for festival appearances
    • Interviews and features on CJVR, CKBI, and Meadow Lake Now
    • Documented live performances at major events including the Calgary Stampede, Teepee Creek Stampede, and other established Alberta festivals
    These sources demonstrate real-world impact and sustained presence in the Canadian country music scene.
    At this point, I’ve provided all the sourcing and context available. I trust the community and reviewing editors to evaluate the article fairly based on established guidelines. I’ll leave the decision in their hands and continue improving the article as needed regardless of the outcome. Xsbucks (talk) 13:51, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Social blade analytics is long recognised way on wikipedia of showing how popular a band is on social media. This is a modern garage band, so social media matters. Live performance and interviews don't towards notability. scope_creepTalk 18:40, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the continued discussion, but I want to point out that this nomination was initially framed around the article’s credibility and supposed failure to meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines. Yet now we’re shifting the debate toward social media stats, citing follower counts and Social Blade rankings as if they were policy benchmarks.
That’s not how notability works on Wikipedia.
As outlined in [WP:GNG] and [WP:MUSICBIO], notability is based on significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources — not popularity metrics or streaming totals.
It's worth noting that using a third-party analytics tool to suggest deletion contradicts the very spirit of objective, policy-backed review. If the credibility standard was the concern, then we should be evaluating the quality of the independent sources and coverage — not shifting to subjective measurements when that fails to support the outcome.
Tacoma has:
Multiple years performing at the Calgary Stampede
Main-stage festival slots alongside Corb Lund and High Valley
Published interviews and coverage in editorially controlled outlets (CJVR, CKBI, Western Wheel)
A handful of commercial releases and real-world recognition in Canada’s country music scene
These meet the explicit criteria for musical ensemble notability on Wikipedia.
Let’s keep the discussion grounded in the actual standards that guide inclusion, not personal interpretations or moving benchmarks. Xsbucks (talk) 19:12, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2. Meadow Lake Now – Harvard Media (2022):

Tacoma is listed among the standout performers in a published event recap of the annual Alberta-based festival.
https://carsandcountrystars.ca/previous-car-shows/2021-cars/2021-review
Tacoma has also appeared at major festivals including Calgary Stampede, Teepee Creek Stampede, and Southern Alberta Music Festival, performing alongside artists such as Corb Lund, High Valley, and Trevor Panczak.
These references demonstrate sustained, non-trivial coverage in independent, editorial sources — meeting the notability requirements under WP:MUSICBIO.

I nominated this article for PROD a week ago, but didn't realize that it was already nominated for PROD and contested in the past therefore being ineligible for another PROD nomination (whew, i'll be more careful next time).

      The article notes: "The road to Yosemite and some of California’s most stunning natural beauty now includes a detour to an eclectic casino from an Indigenous tribe in the Sierra Nevada. The Chicken Ranch Casino Resort, off Highway 49/108 in Jamestown among the foothills of Tuolumne County, is slated to celebrate a grand opening Nov. 9 after opening for reservations in July. The $325 million casino resort, owned and named after the Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians, leans into the poultry namesake, which a tribe’s spokesperson said the federal government “forced” upon them in 1908. ... An hour from the Big Oak Flat Entrance into Yosemite, the nine-story resort spans 100,000 square feet. It has 900 slot machines and 14 table games, not to mention 197 hotel rooms, several restaurants and a 12,000-square-foot conference and event center. The casino is also adding a family arcade later this winter. The new casino and resort replaces the original Chicken Ranch Bingo & Casino, which opened in 1985."

Meanwhile, the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs has ordered the tribe to negotiate a new contract with its bingo management firm. And the management firm is trying to settle a tax dispute with Tuolumne County. ... Under terms of a 15-year contract, the management company runs the games on the rancheria for 45 percent of the profits. Fifty-five percent is to go to the Indians, and that percentage is to increase as the contract matures."

A management firm headed by Wayne Mimms of Fresno built the facility at a cost of about $1.4 million and will operate it under a 15-year contract with the rancheria tribal council. The parlor will employ about 120 people."

      The article notes: "The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs has ordered the Chicken Ranch Bingo Palace to close because its contract with a management company does not meet BIA standards. ... But the bingo palace remains open, having sidestepped the BIA order by taking the management company out of the operation at the Chicken Ranch Indian Rancheria in Tuolumne County, at least tem-porarily. The Indian family involved has hired a lawyer to try to rectify the problems BIA has with the management contract. ... The Chicken Ranch Rancheria, with fewer than 20 members from the local Mathiesen family of Mi-Wuk Indians, is among the smallest in the United States. It began its bingo games in May 1985 through Chicken Ranch Bingo Management Inc., a Fresno-based firm that built the large bingo hall and runs the games. According to the 15-year contract, the Indians get 55 percent of the profits."

It's about a mile off the Jamestown Highway, four miles south of Sonora in the center of what was once land belonging to the Miwok Indian tribe."

        The article notes: "At the Chicken Ranch Casino, the ambience hardly reflects the apparent megabucks campaign stakes. With its linoleum floors, plastic chairs, quiet atmosphere and hostesses wandering around offering coffee instead of booze, this isn't like the glitz of Lake Tahoe or Las Vegas. It's more like a warehouse the size of a football field with bingo tables and slot machines - mostly bingo tables.

"That's about all I can tell you - we're open," tribal administrator Jan Rydjeske said Wednesday. She said two tribal officials, the only ones authorized to talk about strategy or negotiations with the state, were on vacation. The casino operation, which includes 208 slot machines, runs daily from 10 a.m. to midnight. It suspended operation for two weeks in May because Gov. Wilson had warned that American Indian gambling operations without state contracts risked confiscation of their machines. When the Chicken Ranch casino reopened in late May, the slot machines were replaced by 30 video-style machines somehow less vulnerable to government scrutiny."

        The article notes: "The Chicken Ranch Rancheria, threatened with state or federal confiscation of its slot machines, has closed its casino operation, sending home dozens of employees and probably thousands of gamblers. Bingo games continue Thursday through Sunday nights, but the rancheria has unplugged its 208 slot machines — which had been running daily from 10 a.m. to midnight. ... But Wilson signed a compact recently with the Pala Band of Mission Indians in San Diego County. About 100 other tribes and bands in California, including Chicken Ranch, were told to accept the same terms as the Pala band or close their casinos and negotiate their own deals with the state."

        The article notes: "My mom, who had been looking for something for us to do together, found Chicken Ranch Bingo and Casino in Sonora. When I heard the name, it didn't sound very enticing. I thought it was illegal, seeing as I am not 21. When my mother assured me that you only had to be 18 to play bingo, I agreed to go. When I heard that I could gamble legally, I thought, "Hey, might be fun." When we arrived at Chicken Ranch, we didn't really know what to do."

        The article notes: "An example was the BIA's refusal to approve a contract the Chicken Ranch Rancheria, or tribe, had with a firm that used to manage the Jamestown bingo games and share the profits with the Indians. The management company was forced to leave the operation, leaving it for the local Indians to run themselves. After nearly a year on their own, the local tribe "is doing great." the worker said."

    There is sufficient coverage in
    reliable sources to allow Chicken Ranch Casino, formerly known as Chicken Ranch Bingo Palace, to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
