Fails

WP:NMODEL all only notable for one event (winning a state level pageant). Poorly sourced and part of a big effort by banned socks of the pageant co to create pages and build high SEO value wikipedia links to their websites and facebook pages. Legacypac (talk) 03:02, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply

WP:NMODEL
Criteria: Actors, voice actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and celebrities:

a) Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.
b) Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
c) Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.

  • Delete the lot per nom - Most were created by a sock/SPA who appeared to be affiliated with these pagent contests, Anyway no evidence of notability, Fails GNG. –Davey2010Talk 03:44, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Jjj1238: (or anyone else who knows): Where did you see that all Miss Universe contestants receive their own articles (plus notable Miss USA contestants)? I'm asking not to challenge you but because as I was going through the sock's contributions I came across a few international competitions but haven't been able to find any specific guidelines pertaining to specific competitions or titles. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:08, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the help. They are pretty much junk. All created by a banned SOCK user, but it is impossible to get Admins to speedy delete based on banned user because they say it was not created in violation of the ban (yet they are created by a SOCK related to many banned accts). I built the list off one page that listed them all. There are hundreds and hundreds more based on different years and contests. I'd rather not spend the rest of y life trying to deal with the listings one at a time, since some program or paid editor likely created all this useless spam. Legacypac (talk) 11:10, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all of them. Per Jjj1238, contestants at this level don't get articles automatically, so they shouldn't be created automatically. – Margin1522 (talk) 12:35, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the sourcing to the pageant websites is usually just to the homepage - not like they even warrant their own page. And some of the facebook sources are just a group photo! I listed a few one at a time and got posts here and on my talk page complaining they should be bundled. If any of them met GNG someone other than spammers would have created the pages, and they might be doing something other then paying their own $$$ to be in pageants.

UPDATE: I've significantly improved the
WP:GNG threshold. If these has all been tagged for improvement instead of being sloppily mass-rushed to AfD, it's reasonable to presume that many others in this sweep would also cross the GNG threshold. - Dravecky (talk) 06:09, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply

GNG requires enduring coverage over a period of time, which she does not have and there's still a BLP1E issue. Even if we ignore both of those, I disagree these sources come close to GNG. BroBible.com, Axs (which appears to be a promoter/pr venue, but I'm nto sure), a list, a quick blurb via the Miss Universe site, a hyperlocal blog (280 Living is "for the communities along the Highway 280 corridor in Birmingham, Alabama"), and her agency/promoter's site along with only one source I would consider pretty solid in the Tuscaloosa News (still primary and local and for the same one event, though). I respect trying to save some of these, but I think this is an uphill battle. Some better cases on the other mass AfD which I've been meaning to look through. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 06:27, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
AXS TV is a cable network formerly known as HD NET. - 12:41, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
As a well established media company, AXS should be considered a reliable source unless evidence is presented that they don't fact check... and all the contestants have articles about them on AXS. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:37, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete 'em all: Yeah, a great case for WP:TNT. (And heck, if Dravecky thinks that any of these are good articles, say which ones are, with which evidence. Otherwise, sorry, Deletion policy allows bundled AfDs.) Nha Trang Allons! 15:08, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I went back through and added some third party sources to the Duprey article. On the Railsback one, I missed that fact that the Shawnee Dispatch piece is apparently user-submitted PR - in that case, strike that one, as I'm not finding anything else in third party sources on her.

  • Strong and speedy keep because of faulty nomination. NModel makes no mention of beauty pageant contestants and beauty pagent contestants are NOT labeled automatically as models. Some of them may have done modeling but their competing in Miss New York, Miss Hawaii, Miss Nebraska, etc doesn't make them a model. I've looked through about a half dozen of the nominees here or in another similar AFD, and either the articles make no mention of the person of being a model or if the word model was in there, there was nothing else saying they were so and the word model was removed by me. They are however winners of major stage beauty pageants and that makes them all pass

  • IANAWL, but if all elected state-level politicians are considered notable, then state-level winners of major pageants are, within reason. Not everything that is common-sensical has to find a policy or guideline for support.

  • Winning a state level election based on thousands of votes and making laws for 4 to 5 years is a little more notable then winning a pageant because you look good in a swimsuit etc based on a handful of judges. It is not even like there is just one Miss New Mexico, there are 4 or 5 different pageants run by different private companies with sightly different statewide titles. Legacypac (talk) 02:00, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • And first-round NHL draft picks are considered notable, but so freaking what? They're considered notable by the pertinent SNG the same way that state-level politicians are considered notable by their pertinent SNG -- because people at that level generally pass the GNG. There's nothing "common-sensical" about this: had you noticed how many people don't agree with you? Nha Trang Allons! 17:27, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Correct, I've redirected a few articles (not from this list) without debate. There are thousands of these out there. If you don't like that, you can recreate them and if they fail notability, they get AfD'd. See also this deletion now closed. [1] Legacypac (talk) 19:25, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all - in unlikely case that any of them are truly notable, a deletion review can be requested on individual cases. Due to the high volume of drek here, I think blowing up wholesale is the only way to handle - and at least we can restore any individual article which can be proved to pass GNG.

You provided no specifics as to why any of them are notable. Others assessed each one as not worthy of an article - so can you be more specific? Legacypac (talk) 01:18, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My reasoning is clear - it is not possible to properly evaluate 40 articles on an individual basis in one AfD. Anyone who claims to have researched the GNG case for each individual is most likely lying (and I don't think anyone is actually claiming they did so anyway). Such evaluation involves a lot more than clicking on the article and seeing it does not currently have any sources. Proper research would take 15-30 minutes per person, and would be lost in a sea of "delete all because I can't be bothered to research" votes anyway. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:36, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Your reasoning is clear, yeah. It also goes against deletion policy, which explicitly allows bundled AfDs. If you don't like bundled AfDs, the Deletion policy talk page is the place to try to get consensus for your POV. Like that good faith you're assuming, by the bye, that anyone claiming to have done due diligence must be a liar. Nha Trang Allons! 18:18, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, it doesn't. This is how mass AfDs always go - they either end in keep because "all X are notable" (rare) or no consensus because "some X are notable and individual X didn't receive proper attention." The option deletes are arguing is "all X are non-notable" which is not a possibility because the GNG can always override failing to meet some specific criteria. The default of an AfD is keep. If a subject (as an individual, not as an X) doesn't receive proper discussion, the discussion ends in no consensus defaulting to keep. Votes such as "if any of these people are notable, someone can take them to DRV" and efforts to force keeps to list sources for 40 articles simultaneously are trying to say the opposite - that the default is delete. That isn't how things work.
The more articles you list in one AfD the more likely it is to end in no consensus. A multi-AfD only makes practical sense if you are talking about a couple of closely relate subjects (e.g. a guy and his band), not if you are talking about 40 subjects only connected by the fact that they participated in the same contest. That is like saying I can nominate 40 different basketball players who played for Kentucky in one AfD because merely playing college ball doesn't make you notable. Of course many went on the have pro careers, and others meet the GNG, but hey I can point to one thing that they have in common that doesn't make them notable so it is up to you to prove each one is notable while I don't make any effort to check myself and say "delete because playing college basketball doesn't make you notable." If someone wishing to delete can't be bothered to make the effort to evaluate individuals separately, in is utterly unfair for them to expect others to do so either.
Incidentally, I checked 3 of the nominated articles at random. I easily found 2+ sources for each. Now, the sources may not hold up to scrutiny. However, no one can honestly scrutinize 40x2+ sources in a single AfD. Since some kind of sources exist, again the default should be keep in the absence of specific arguments against the quality of the sources.
The only real solution that complies with both policy and common sense is to redirect the useless articles (which is most of these) and renominate the others one-by-one AFTER first checking if the sourcing that can be found is substantial enough and reliable enough or not. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:32, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Being in the pageant production as one of 51 compeditors is not a "significant role". In a movie there might be 2-10 significant roles tops. Legacypac (talk) 02:37, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As I noted, it's not a perfect fit, and national-level beauty pageants are not movies. - Dravecky (talk) 03:43, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
All you can really say is they don't meet it my virtue of being in the Miss America pageant. Without researching the individuals you can't say they don't meet NMODEL for some other aspect of their career, and you especially can't say they don't meet GNG without researching each person (which is the only actual requirement to be notable). --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:36, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
