- Weak delete. I wouldn't expect that the sources that signify its significance as required by WP:NSOFT can be found, and it's likely that the available sources won't meet WP:GNG either. This was one of the first libraries based on Ruby on Rails to appear, and has many trivial mentions as such, but libraries of this kind, offering trivial functionality on top of Rails itself like Radiant did, generally didn't get much traction in the Rails world. Radiant wasn't an exception and the project eventually died without leaving legacy apart from blog coverage in the early days of Rails. PaulT2022 (talk) 02:31, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The user did not discuss this on the original talk page before creating the article. When you look at lists of ended shows on Netflix and Prime Video, it becomes clear that this article falls short, as Paramount+ does not have enough ended shows that warrant a separate page, compared to the previously mentioned streamers. My concern aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines, which stress the importance of authority and reliable sources. A thorough evaluation is needed to take a close look at how significant this article is in the context of Paramount+'s programming history, because right now, it doesn't measure up to the standards set by other well-established streaming services. BrickMaster02 (talk) 18:57, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: I'm not sure what the reason for the nomination is. If the article falls short of our writing standard, we improve it, not delete it. It does not have enough ended shows? The article currently lists almost 100 shows. How much is enough to warrant a standalone article? If sourcing is sufficient to provide notability, I see no reason to remove the page. Note that the nom previously tagged this article for speedy deletion with the reason, "Did not discuss on original talk page regarding the creation of this". I don't know why the nom believes article creation must be previously discussed with them. Owen× ☎ 20:02, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to List of Paramount+ original programming This list is currently unnecessary, there isn't a large amount of ended shows, like other platforms have, that justified splitting out this list. Also, discussions should occur on talk pages prior to making a controversial edit, such as splitting an article, which is why the PROD probably is a reasonable rationale.

This doesn't appear to meet the WP:NRIVALRY due to a lack of in depth, secondary coverage with which to meet the WP:GNG. The article was deleted under a different name in 2014 and recreated [[1]], but as it stands the current article seemingly fails in the same areas the previous one did.

- Keep, the game has a trophy and the article has good sourcing. A notable rivalry is a notable rivalry, as Wikipedia articles on the subject of rivalries don't have to only focus on major college games (Ohio-Michigan, etc.). Randy Kryn (talk) 00:14, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I haven't done any digging yet, but none of the sources currently in the article represent WP:SIGCOV (i.e, in-depth coverage of a rivalry). Three of the five sources are clearly non-independent (published by the universities or the conference), and I don't believe FBSchedules.com has ever been recognized as a reliable, GNG-bestowing source. (The first two sources are reliable and independent but don't have real depth of coverage about the rivalry.) Cbl62 (talk) 01:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. My source analysis is set forth in my earlier comment, and noothing else has been presented. I voted "Delete" at the 2014 AfD on this trophy, and nothing has changed materially. There is still a lack of SIGCOV wih in-depth coverage about the trophy or rivalry -- just some passing references in game coverage to the fact that the winner gets the trophy. Cbl62 (talk) 03:45, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- FWIW, if this were a close case where there was some SIGCOV, other factors such as geographic proximity, the trophy, and competitiveness would weigh in favor of keeping, but I haven't seen anything that could be called SIGCOV here. Cbl62 (talk) 12:45, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, but we have categorization and framing problems across a lot of articles like this. As a series of annual games with a name (whether it has a trophy is irrelevant), this appears to pass GNG, and would probably be better as Grand Canyon Trophy Game and rewritten to make it clear it is an annual series of games, instead of us claiming it is actually a sports rivalry. What's happened here is that this and several other things have "rivalry" in their names and are a class of things that are sometimes called "rivalry games", but they are not sports rivalries as WP and most sources are using that term. That is, "rivalry" is ambiguous, and writers of this article have confused one meaning with the other just because of the term being used in the name or being used in vague, amgiguous ways by some source material. A "rivaly game" is simply a periodic game (usually a form of exhibition game) between two teams for the entertainment of themselves and their fans, or occasionally as part of some league system but given a name and sometimes a trophy as a promotional mechanism.The entire Category:Big Sky Conference rivalries and probably several others like it has completely confused the idea of such a game series with the idea of an actual sports rivalry: a subculture of animosity or faux-animosity between two teams/institutions and especially the fandoms thereof, a rivalry that has a life of its own and garners source coverage unto itself as a social phenomenon, not as promotional lingo used by coaches or athletic department administrators, not just passing use of "rivalry" as a word in routine game coverage, and not simply a game or game series name that happens to have "Rivalry" in it. This article sipmly has not been properly framed as an article on a series of games (which is what the subject is) instead of a sports rivalry (which it is not in any sense that is notable or what Wikipedia should care about).The whole category structure relating to this stuff needs to be cleaned up so that exhibition games are classified as such and no longer classified as "rivalries". And lots of these articles need to be rewritten. E.g., to pick one at random, Beehive Bowl (which was quite properly moved away from Southern Utah–Weber State football rivalry in 2016, but was never rewritten) misleadingly opens with "The Southern Utah–Weber State football rivalry, known as the Beehive Bowl, is the annual football game between Southern Utah University and Weber State University"; clearly this is about an annual game series, not about a sports fan subculture of rivalry. The article has ridiculous WP:OR in it, like "In 2011, Southern Utah joined the Big Sky Conference, making it a yearly rivalry." Two teams coming into competition with each other by being in the same conference or other league system does not make them "rivals" (any more than any other two competitors in any sport are "rivals").While AfD can make a few dents in the problem by picking off articles that claim to be about rivalries that don't have sufficient sourcing to exist as articles no matter how the content is reframed and renamed and recategorized, a more systematic approach is needed for dealing with the mess that has been created, because a lot of these articles on named series of games have been mis-written as rivaly articles, as if they are something like Liverpool F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry, which they demonstrably are not. I'm not even sure where best to address this. The issue seems most common in American college football, but actually crosses sport and national lines. Maybe WT:SPORT is the place? — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 13:15, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- College football rivalry games are not exhibition games. They are usually regular season games. On rare occasions, rivals may also play in post-season bowl or playoff games. Cbl62 (talk) 14:04, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @SMcCandlish: Even if one views the article as being about the trophy, I am not seeing SIGCOV about the tropy. Did you see sourcing that rises to the level of in-depth coverage about the trophy? Cbl62 (talk) 14:08, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- No, not about the trophy per se, but yes about the game series (which involves a trophy), which is why I didn't go with delete. I think the "nexus" of all of this, now that I've dug a little deeper, is List of NCAA college football rivalry games. There really does seem to be a term rivalry game but this is not the same thing as a rivalry in the sense WP means in its category system and as the term is used in more clearly written journalism than some of the sources at these articles. What's happened is that rivaly game sometimes get shortened in sports writing to rivalry (and in a few cases even in the name of such an event), but this is a different meaning, along the lines of 'organized series of periodic match-ups between a pair of teams in geographical proximity to each other'. It's an ambiguity we are not accounting for. We need to have a category on rivalry games (a series of such matches between two such nearby teams, often but not always with a trophy, and often but not always with a distinct name for the game series), and move the keepable articles to titles that make it clear they are about an event series not about an alleged rivalry in the other sense, of 'a subculture of sports-related antagonism between two teams' fandoms'. E.g. Central Michigan–Eastern Michigan football rivalry and pretty much every other article misnamed and miscategorized like it, are not about "rivalries" but about an organized series of "rivalry game" matches. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SMcCandlish (talk • contribs) 17:09, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Oxford Language (here) defines a "rivalry" as "competition for the same objective or for superiority in the same field. 'there always has been intense rivalry between the clubs'" A series of rivalry games between two clubs seems to meet that definition to a T. I just don't see this particular "rivalry" having sufficient depth of coverge to pass GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 01:23, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The bridge was temporarily closed ahead of a major incident, and reopened sooner than expected. Neither of these factors seem to convey notability. Explicitly not in favor of a redirect to Interstate_195_(Rhode_Island–Massachusetts)#Washington_Bridge_closure as I don't think it even merits long term mention there, but am fine with it if consensus emerges.

- Delete, no redirect - This just doesn't seem notable. A bridge being closed due to maintenance issues is pretty routine and run of the mill. Unless something unexpected happens, like the bridge outright collapsing, I can't see this passing either WP:NEVENT or WP:GNG. Sideswipe9th (talk) 22:56, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Washington Bridge (Providence, Rhode Island). Closure of a major bridge on an interstate highway tends to make the national news. (Note that the closure is ongoing - traffic has been diverted to the parallel span, but it looks like a few months til the north span opens.) While I don't see it as having ensuring enough notability for an independent article, a redirect is useful for categorization in Category:2023 in Rhode Island and so on.

- Keep - This major road closure was caused by a junior engineer reporting rod failures, and was extremely sudden. The closure caused five hour traffic delays in Providence County, which have caused press conferences to happen every single day since the incident. Assuming that the page cannot be kept, it should be merged with Washington Bridge (Providence, Rhode Island). --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:53, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Washington Bridge (Providence, Rhode Island). Disclaimer: I was asked by Sideswipe9th about this article's notability a few days prior to this AfD, and found myself agreeing that it wasn't worth its own article. The Hernando de Soto Bridge has no separate failure article despite being probably more notable of a closure, so I don't see why this one should have an article. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 06:58, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Washington Bridge (Providence, Rhode Island). We don't need an article on relatively routine infrastructure maintenance. Partofthemachine (talk) 07:11, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge, no redirect. Traffic jams are not notable. Laughable that editors are voting to keep articles on bridge maintenance and traffic jams in the United States when we're deleting articles about traffic accidents in other countries that killed two or three dozen people. Clear case of WP:SYSTEMIC. What's the point of a redirect? Who's going to search on this title? -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:21, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - Per WP:CHEAP, why should the page history not be kept for a legitimate search term? --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:01, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Washington Bridge (Providence, Rhode Island) per others. Fails WP:NEVENT and mentioned at the target. Seems obvious. And if we merge, then of course we redirect because we preserve attribution and redirects are cheap. If nobody searches for it, it won't get used (who cares). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:31, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Washington Bridge (Providence, Rhode Island). The section in the article is about as long and well referenced. Should be redirected and someone who feels that something is still missing can look in the history. gidonb (talk) 02:07, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep/Change So I am new to this process so forgive me if I make mistakes. So I do think some of the points are valid . On the point of lack of citation, a major issue with a lot of the older games listed on this article there's essentially no citable source outside of the software/physical packaging. If this article would need a major rework to work around that (or if someone can inform me how to handle correct information about a piece of video game software outside of the software and manual itself, please do) I mention this because this counters the idea this information can be found via online stores, that's only true of newer, digital releases (and frankly isn't always true, as I've found out myself). However I do see issues with this article, personally I don't think it should have been originally set up to only use Logitech brand wheels, while during the PlayStation 2 console generation they were essentially the "Official" wheel controller for the console, that became less the case with each new console generation. I do have to ask why a list like this wouldn't be suited for Wikipedia, but lists such as Lists of software released for a specific console hardware, or exclusively for that hardware are, again I'm new to this article for deletion process so what specific differences allow for those articles, I genuinely want to know. If ultimately a more broad version of this article, or specific versions of this article broken up by console system, or specific model of wheel controllers (which personally I think would be a mess because there would be dozen of 3rd party models that older console hardware would detect as if it was a logitech one) then I'll understand, though if that is the case do articles have a certain amount of notice?

It looks like an advertisement for a potential presidential candidate. WP:POLITICIAN states that just being an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability. The article on the same topic was deleted in Russian Wikipedia due to the same reasons FlorianH76 (talk) 21:07, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Her candidacy is the direct subject of several articles, so she meets the notability criteria for Wikipedia. JohnR1Roberts (talk) 21:36, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Should satisfy WP:SIGCOV given multiple news about her 2024 presidential campaign in the context of Russia, where she probably is the lone opposition to Putin, other candidates are loyal to him. Deltaspace42 (talk • contribs) 22:21, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Also I would like to add that while being an unelected candidate does not guarantee notability, it also does not guarantee non-notability:
- "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline." Deltaspace42 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep She appeared on the biggest german news show just now (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi3ljQXB0qQ&t=471). We should also be careful about state actors trying to act here. Scisne (talk) 23:00, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The subject of the article clearly has significance. Many reliable sources wrote about Yekaterina Duntsova (Reuters, The Moscow Times, BNN Breaking, AP News and many others), describing her as Putin's main opponent in the upcoming elections. She passed the first stage of registration, collected the necessary 500 signatures, and held a meeting in Moscow. This was covered by the Russian federal media (Kommersant, news.ru). The article about Duntsova in the Russian Wikipedia was deleted with obvious bias and is an example of political censorship. --Yarkovesh (talk) 23:18, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The only problem is that everyone found out about her existence just yesterday 178.252.127.236 (talk) 11:03, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Draftify Generally, we've considered coverage of candidacy to a political office as WP:ROUTINE and we regularly delete articles about unelected candidates if they don't have any WP:SIGCOV beyond that related to their candidacy, which seems to be the case here. Even if we cast that general precedent aside, this would still be an issue of WP:BLP1E. As it is, Duntsova is only a declared - not a qualified - candidate (she needs a further 300,000 petition signatures to be ballot listed). Nonetheless, it's possible Duntsova may become ballot qualified and, subsequently, may emerge as the leading challenger in the upcoming election and, if all that transpired, it would most probably be enough to surmount my concerns about ROUTINE and BLP1E since a principal challenger is almost certain to attract coverage of such biographical depth and complexity as to crest those standards. However, it's too early in the petitioning process to ascertain that so this may be a case of WP:TOOSOON. Therefore, I !vote in favor of draftifying the article with no prejudice against its future recreation if the situation evolves or changes. Chetsford (talk) 00:09, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, it seems to be a good decision. FlorianH76 (talk) 01:54, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: you can mention that the official start of Ekaterina's election campaign took place yesterday. Over 700 supporters gathered in Moscow to express their support for her candidacy. The initiative group of 522 people also voted in favor of Ekaterina's nomination. The meeting was successful, despite some questionable incidents that did not affect the course of the event. Currently, Ekaterina has the support of over 110,000 people. The Telegram channel has about 150 thousand people. Has an article in the Belarusian Wikipedia and the Ukrainian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.59.206.179 (talk) 04:54, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: I agree that running for office does not automatically meet notability but in this case there are plenty of sources. This is a national campaign of a major country, and she is publically standing up against a controversial government. She clearly meets notability. Rublamb (talk) 22:29, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Ekaterina Duntsova's presence in the social media realm is far from negligible, boasting a following of 320,000 people — a number that continues to climb swiftly. To say that 'no one knows her' seems a stark underestimation of her growing popularity. Galstenreg (talk) 17:17, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to Yekaterina Duntsova 2024 presidential campaign. Devil's advocate, but I think we're putting anti-Putinist emotions (which I do sympathize with) over well-established policy. The well-established policy is WP:BLP1E, and this person clearly fails it. That being said, I do think notability has been established for her presidential campaign, and thusly this page should be kept but moved. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (she/they 🎄 🏳️⚧️) 05:30, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- What do you mean by "Devil's advocate" Yarkovesh (talk) 13:43, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- It does not fall under this rule because all three points must be considered.
- About the third point.
- Ekaterina Duntsova has a clear path in life - she worked as a journalist (editor-in-chief of RIT) and was a deputy in the City Duma. Now she is reaching a new level of fame, a lot is being written and talked about in Russian-speaking (especially independent) and English-speaking media.
- To say that there is only one event associated with her or that she is insignificant is strange. 185.70.52.115 (talk) 20:18, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Authoritative media pay a lot of attention to her. К.Артём.1 (talk) 09:47, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per above. There is more than enough news coverage. Mellk (talk) 12:54, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: I also agree that running for office does not automatically meet notability but as above there are plenty of sources including news / media outlets and social media it now does, especially standing up to Putin. Yekaterina, a very brave woman, and now very much notable, with her stance on Anti-War and bringing Russia back from the brink.
Just to point out the one that has mentioned delete has an IP inside Russia, a little obvious I think from Putins propaganda machine of silencing critics and opposition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.70.87.161 (talk) 00:56, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is the second AFD for this instance of the article but it is at least the third AFD because a previous instance of the article was deleted at least once. I recently did an AFD nomination during NPP, it was deleted but that deleted was reversed on the basis that it was a soft delete. My rationale during the previous nomination was: "No Indication of wp:notability. The most that any of those numerous references discuss him is covering his appointment to his position. All of the others are just coverage where he was either mentioned or quoted in a news story about something else. Article was previously deleted."

As far as I can tell, the concept (as defined by Yan and Wang) describes a set of risk factors for obesity, smoking, mental health issues, and being overworked. Except for sources 3-6, all sources include both Yu-Xiang Yan and Wei Wang on the author list. Sources 4 and 5 also do not have listed authors. This makes me seriously question if sources 3, 4, 5, 6 can pull their weight as reliable and independent (of Yan and Wang's research), especially to the high standard of WP:MEDRS. I suspect the original creation of this article was a COI edit, as several paragraphs show up as copy pastes on earwig from Yan and Wang's publications. I will now go over sources 3-6:
- Source 3 does not cite any of Yan and Wang's publications, but comes after in 2013, suggesting that the research on 'subhealth' is only coincidentally similar to 'suboptimal health' researched by Yan and Wang. It seems to be the only source independent of Yan and Wang to meet MEDRS.
- The concept of suboptimal health been used to uncriticially promote chinese traditional medicine (TCM) - see this removal for example. source (source 4), also mentions how TCM is central to the concept and markets TCM products to this end. It does not meet MEDRS as it is an opinion article.
- Source 5 uncritically promotes TCM, makes no citations, and it is unclear to me if it refers to the same topic that Yan and Wang cover. Does not meet MEDRS.
- Source 6 looks reliable, independent and has significant coverage, stating: "However, lacking of precise definition by official health bodies, the term "sub-health" remains a vague concept. The concept of sub-health has gone popular in the Chinese mainland in the 90s and has been controversial. It was accused of being a commercial excuse for the business of health care products by the local media." As a news report it does not meet MEDRS.
Sources I did find, by doing a google and google scholar search for 'subhealth' and 'suboptimal health':
- [3]. It seems reliable, independent and has significant coverage. It claims that Wang has published over 200 papers about SHS which I am a bit skeptical of, but otherwise this seems okay. Does not mention TCM involvement.
- [4]. Does not cite Yan and Wang. This paper is funded by a company trying to promote the aformentioned dietary supplement, and is unrelated to TCM. I doubt it would meed MEDRS due to the lack of independent review or funding.
Of course, uncritically promoting TCM does not alone warrant the concept/article for deletion, so my main argument is about the lack of independent sources meeting MEDRS with significant coverage to Yan and Wang's research. It is also unclear to what extent Yan and Wang's research may have been involved to promote TCM. My speculation is that this term has a popular Chinese equivalent term in circulation, which I cannot verify myself as I can't read Chinese. It is possible the topic has notability for Chinese Wikipedia, which it does have an article for (it seems to be a translated copy of this one). But I do find it concerning how the concept uncritically promotes TCM. I am not sure what role Wikipedia should play in presenting that material without undue weight, especially considering the paucity of sources I could identify in english which independently refer to Yan and Wang's research, since they seem to be the central researchers to the topic as it exists in China.
My personal opinion is to delete the article, and it could be restored when significant coverage by two reliable, independent sources meeting MEDRS are published and found -- ideally review articles of the concept, including its Chinese historical significance and how it is related to both TCM and dietary supplements.

Keep and improve.Comment. After checking publications in Google Scholar, this seems to be a sufficiently established terminology in various contexts, for example [5],[6], [7]. My very best wishes (talk) 02:15, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]- Among the sources you linked: 3 has Yang and Wang, and 5 has Wang, so they are not independent (I happened to of already read source 3 as part of WP:BEFORE). I did not know 4 existed (thank you for finding it!), and at first it seems to be a reliable source to establish notability. Ideally, to meet MEDRS we would have multiple such independent reviews, so this still seems somewhat of a borderline case. Although I notice a few statements leading me to question its reliability:
- -
Many developed countries, including Saudi Arabia,
I understand some of the authors reside in Saudi Arabia but I understand this statement to be false. - -
According to the diagnostic guidelines provided by the Association of Chinese Medicine, symptoms in three areas, namely, systematic, psychological, and social, are evaluated to assess SHS
This confirms in part that SHS is associated to TCM, although the exact relationship is still unclear to me. In any case, a significant amount of SHS studies seem from Wang's research group. - - Of the four metrics among 12-14 articles assessed in the review (SHSQ-25, SHMS V1.0, MSQA, SSS) the original proposals of SHSQ-25 and MSQA appear to have been developed by Wang's group. Not a factor to rule it out, just as an observation.
- - The paper states
SHS has now been recognized as an essential construct in personalized medicine to decrease the risk of developing disease and enhance general health. Moreover, the idea of SHS reflects the belief that chronic diseases can be effectively predicted and prevented before a clinical manifestation of severe pathologies from the view of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine
and cites [8] for support, which seems like a paper mill as the only search result for the journal is a LLC company statement. The quote is a significant claim considering the little research in the area and makes me possibly question the neutrality of the authors on the subject. - I do not have a good explanation, but I have to wonder why there is no research I can seem to find covering this in the US, considering this particularly named theory has been around since at least 2009. Anyway, I think these are all factors that should be weighed in consideration of the outcome of this AfD. Darcyisverycute (talk) 13:53, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Thank you for taking the time to review this article. To establish the noteworthiness of the film, I have expanded the lead section (and rearranged a few sentences) to include discussion of the film’s prominence because of its prolific director (Ravidra Dave), the film’s highly-paid lead actress (Mala Sinha) and also the film’s music director (Chitragupt). I have also increased the cites for the article. Scholar165 (talk) 22:28, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Opposing deletion (as at the very very least a redirect to the director's page is in my view warranted.) But the infos are verifiable and this is a 1962 film with very notable cast and director, which contributes to the film's notoriety (WP:INHERIT does not apply to this statement, thank you in advance for not mentioning it).
So I would rather like a plainkeep as the filmmightseems to meet the following criterion: "the film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of their career." (WP:NFILM) if we can consider it is a major part of Ravindra Dave's and Male Sinha's career, but this very point would need to be established more clearly maybe.-My, oh my!

- Comment: Wikipedia:ROUTINE's definition of "routine" is: "Common, everyday, ordinary items that do not stand out". It is not every day when PBS, a national US TV channel, makes the school a star of a documentary on school improvement (the other RS is also tied to the school being covered in a documentary).

- Yes, there may well be something here. But the existing sources are primary so a secondary source about this is required to demonstrate notability. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:50, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: They are not primary sources. They are secondary: Wikipedia:No_original_research#Primary,_secondary_and_tertiary_sources states: "A secondary source provides thought and reflection based on primary sources, generally at least one step removed from an event. It contains analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources."
- Both newspaper articles are written by journalists affiliated with a newspaper (Matt Frazier, a Star-Telegram staff writer, and Lori Elmore-Moon, a special features writer of the same newspaper.). That makes them secondary, not primary sources.
- WhisperToMe (talk) 23:21, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- No, they are primary sources. See WP:PRIMARYNEWS. They are both reports about the PBS show. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 23:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Firstly, the page states: "This page is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community" so it would be best to have that happen soon.
- Anyhow, the page states: "A newspaper article is a primary source if it reports events, but a secondary source if it analyses and comments on those events." Therefore we can check each article to see if there is some kind of analysis and/or commentary.
- Source #1 by Frazier: "The documentary has already been broadcast in other markets, and Walton has received congratulatory[...]" and the same source also cites TEA data. Frazier did not only report on what the documentary and people from the school said, but also brought in analysis from other sources.
- Source #2 by Elmore-Moon: "Kemp played a prominent role in the one-hour documentary" which is analysis on part of Elmore-Moon.
- Additionally, note this article is actually about a school, and not the documentary itself! (the documentary has its own article at A Tale of Two Schools). Elmore-Moon makes it clear that A Take of Two Schools itself compares and contrasts the two schools it is about.
- Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Lakota_Tech_High_School is an example of an article that has news articles with sufficient analysis to show notability

- High schools are usually kept and elementary schools are usually deleted, tho pbp 04:21, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- PRIMARYNEWS is an explanatory essay, but the point is made in the policy page on OR too, see WP:PRIMARY and particularly follow note d. But it is not just Wikipedia saying this. Newspaper articles are generally primary sources. That is the settled historiographic view. It is how such sources are treated in academia. And note that just a reading of PRIMARYNEWS again indicates that even if you dice these as editorials, they remain primary. The sources are primary. What secondary sources exist about this school?
- But to pbp I would point out that WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES has changed although the change is taking a long time to be recognised. Any school must essentially pass the WP:GNG. None are presumed notable but elementary schools can certainly be kept if they are shown to pass GNG. However, if the only sources presented to demonstrate that notability are two primary sources, I'll be !voting delete or redirect per SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:39, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Even with the change in SCHOOLOUTCOMES, as per AFD, newspapers are treated as secondary: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hardin_High_School_(Texas) is one example of an AFD outcome. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Houston Blue (there were academic book reviews, but the newspaper coverage was not discounted) is another. And the nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Benbrook Middle-High School was withdrawn because of the newspaper coverage I found (which linked the building of the new school to the Benbrook community being dissatisfied with previous schooling options, so yes, these newspaper articles have analysis!). These Wikipedia outcomes say they are secondary. Wikipedia is saying this. But not only is it saying this, but Wikipedia must do this to survive. Here's why:
- Regardless of whether academics technically, technically treat newspaper articles (that have analysis and explanation) as primary, it is important to note this is a general audiences encyclopedia in which many editors are not immersed in academia. Editing (in most cases) should not be too difficult for, say, the working class ordinary homemaker or a farmer, who are not schooled in academia extensively, to contribute reasonably to a field of interest. Trying to impose high level academia standards will drive away ordinary editors and leave many topics of common interest without a viable path to notability (newspapers are extensively used in notability discussions).
- There is a reason Nupedia failed and it heeds to remember why.

- The fact that participants in another AfD failed to challenge obvious primary sources tells us nothing about Wikipedia policy. The rest of the argument here is not grounded on policy. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 22:17, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:Arguments_to_avoid_in_deletion_discussions#What_about_article_x.3F states: "If you reference such a past debate, and it is clearly a very similar case to the current debate, this can be a strong argument that should not be discounted because of a misconception that this section is a blanket ban on ever referencing other articles or deletion debates." Precedent matters, and the cases I cited are similar cases.
- Also academia is not the be all, end all of every case, as User:Jimbo Wales has made clear in this dispute about Hugo Chavez: Talk:Hugo_Chávez/Archive_26#Chavez and food (he felt that the article overall did not have a proper reflection of the issues; some editors heavily relying on academia wrote sections that missed other key aspects). What did Jimbo cite as his rebuttal to the academia sourcing? The answer: Newspapers and magazines.
- I quote Jimbo: "But it is also perfectly fine and often absolutely necessary to use reliable newspapers and magazines as sources. Bill Clinton came to power nearly 18 years ago, and our article has 210 references, the vast majority of which are from reliable newspapers and magazines." (and Wikipedia instructs editors to rely on secondary sources, and so implicitly they are being treated as secondary here)
- There are cases like ancient history, aviation science, medicine (especially!), global warming, etc. in which academia does need to be weighted higher, but newspaper articles (so long as they have a level of analysis/explanation, and so long as it is not ROUTINE) are clearly sufficient sourcing and counted as secondary for Wikipedia purposes for school-related articles.

- Comment: As per Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Schools a non-notable American public school is to redirect to its school district. The reason why I figured this particular school would be an exception was Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Pershing_Middle_School_(Houston): an education writer featured Pershing's program in a book, and the coverage in the book was enough for Pershing to have its own Wikipedia article. Similarly, I figured the coverage of Walton in a PBS documentary for its particular program would give it notability for its own article. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:26, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete(ETA - see below) - My searches have turned up no secondary sources that have significant coverage and are reliable and independent. This page therefore does not meet WP:GNG. There are two primary sources in the article (per discussion above), but these don't establish notability. There are many pages showing in searches, but these are directories, or the school's own materials (not independent). Book searches drew a blank (a couple of trivial mentions but these in directories in any case). No papers either. I am a lttle surprised that a school that was subject to a PBS dcoumentary has no other sourcing but I have found none and the conversation above has turned into something meta, rather than a search for secondary sources. I conclude none will be found. Scholar searches are impacted by the existence of Maudrie M. Walton, an educationalist, who does yield hits, e.g., [9] but not about the school. As this does not meet GNG, there should not be a page, because ultimately there isn't much that can be said about this school. However an ATD is possible, and redirects have been mooted to the school district or to the PBS documentary. I would support a redirect if there were consensus as to where that should point to.

- I absolutely do not understand your contention that the PBS documentary is not a secondary source. A news report is primary generally as it is only made up of first person observation of an event or thing. A documentary is the video equivalent of a book. It includes both first person observation of the subject, and numerous secondary interviews with experts on the subject and the producer's conclusions about all of it. By your rather unique understanding of what makes a secondary source, I guess I need an example of what would be a secondary source. In my mind, and I don't think I'm alone, having a documentary in which this school is one of two schools the author of the documentary used to prove his thesis is a better showing of notability than the majority of articles on Wikipedia have. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 18:39, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The discussion above is not about the documentary itself, it is about the newspapers, which are primary sources. For some reason we have not cited the documentary itself, nor considered it as a source. We could treat it as a secondary source, although I note that the interviews within it may constitute primary sources, and also not meet the independence criterion. Nevertheless, in general I would be happy to accept the documentary itself as one secondary source. We need multiple secondary sources to meet GNG. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:05, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I absolutely do not understand your contention that the PBS documentary is not a secondary source. A news report is primary generally as it is only made up of first person observation of an event or thing. A documentary is the video equivalent of a book. It includes both first person observation of the subject, and numerous secondary interviews with experts on the subject and the producer's conclusions about all of it.

- Comment Thanks, Maile, for adding new text and two sources to the page. These too are primary sources (a news report and a release about a book drive), so the article continues to lack any secondary sources at all. Has anyone found any? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:54, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I agree that a documentary is a secondary source, so I suspect this school may be notable. However, this article is quite short, and I notice that the school board's article does not have much information, and this school gets lost there in a long list of schools. For those arguing keep, I wonder if you might consider a redirect and merge up to the school board's article? This seems like a better option than a short standalone on the school - just as easy to find by search, but additionally more discoverable on the school board's article. -- asilvering (talk) 02:53, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete or, failing that, put back to being a redirect. There's no way to make an article about a niche, nearly quiescent website with no secondary-source coverage. Content from this page was merged into Terence Tao on a flimsy rationale and then removed shortly thereafter. If the edit history of material that has been gone since summer 2007 and won't be coming back is actually necessary to preserve, then we can have this cruft hang around as an {{R with history}}.

- Keep. I found a number of reviews and articles about him in The New York Times, including this review of one of his magic shows, a detailed article about his marriage, an article about his magic collection, and coverage of him teaching prisoners magic by mail. I also found coverage of him in The Austin Chronicle (link), Forbes (link), The Plain Dealer (link), The Harvard Gazette (link), Leaders Magazine (link), The OSU Alumni Magazine (link), Playbill (link), and other places. There are even reviews and coverage of his magic books on Boing Boing (link), The Guam Daily Post (link) and WCPO (link) while the Wikipedia Library shows coverage of his magic work in magazines and journals such as Boys' Life, Entertainment Weekly, i-Perception, Journal of Hand Therapy, Odyssey, and other places. Finally, he's appeared on major TV shows including The Today Show (link) and the Late Late Show with James Corden (link).

- Comment: this article had three prior AfDs, was deleted twice, undeleted once, and underwent two DRVs. Everything that could have been said about it and its sourcing has already been said. I'm sure the nom meant well in nominating this (on his 75th edit to the project), but at this point, any further discussion about this article is pointless, if not disruptive. I get it; sourcing is marginal. There are good arguments both for and against keeping it. It also exists on wiki in 18 other languages, and will likely be recreated here again anyway. I don't often do this, but can we just leave this one alone? Owen× ☎ 00:28, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- All three previous nominations were in 2010 when the browser was actively developed. But in 2014 the development stopped and now the project is dead, it became apparent that it has no prospects and I think now it isn't used as default browser anywhere. Given this information and that many arguments for keeping this article in the previous nominations were in the spirit of "this browser is default in major distro" or "probably not very notable yet, but it is in very active development", I think the further discussion is not entirely pointless.

- Delete - Sure, it was a part of KDE and the default browser for a distro, but I don't think it's notable. It never went anywhere and hasn't seen any notable activity in a decade. I also checked if another semi-obscure KDE browser, Angelfish, had a page and it doesn't, which makes me think this shouldn't either. You could make the argument that it was notable at one point, but anymore I'm not so sure. It's also been nominated for deletion on KDE's own wiki due to being abandoned. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 00:01, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I am leaning delete but per OwenX, I have read through the previous AfDs and the DRVs andbased on those (yes, all in 2010), I think we need to at least discuss the sourcing. The project may be dead now, but notability is permanent. If it was notable in 2010 then it is notable as a historic item despite being essentially dead now. Having said that, source discussion is largely absent from the AfDs, so looking at them now, using numbering in what is currently the latest revision [11] for brevity:
- Project page. Primary, not independent.
- KDE announce page. Primary, not independent.
- Blog. Self published. Not RS, not independent, Primary.
- KDE project license. Primary, not independent.
- LinuxBSDos review. Secondary. Review is gone and domain appears hijacked but the ref contains a quote, yet the mention appears trivial.
- Kubuntu.org. Primary, not independent.
- Kubuntu archive. Primary, not independent.
- AdamBlog. Primary, self published, not independent.
- projects.kde.org - Primary, not independent.
- AdamBlog. Primary, self published, not independent.
- So in summary there is one old secondary source that might be retrievable through the webarchive but appears to be trivial. If we admit it, though, we are still not at WP:GNG. It probably never did meet GNG, but we should be looking to see if it made any kind of impact. Searching, I found reviews like this: [12] but that is a submitted review, so won't be reliable and that seems to be a general problem. It gets mentioned in a number of books talking about Linux distros, such as this one [13], but this one is typical in saying little more than that it has a user agent switcher. I thought Logiciel pour le World Wide Web was going to do the trick and then saw it was sourced to Wikipedia! Other books failed to turn anything up. This paper looks at reverse engineering the browser [14], but the significance of this browser is not really demonstrated there. Rekonq is chosen because that was the browser of a TOR user investigated by the FBI and who was de-anonymised using a technique described in the paper. The fact that rekonq was used is just chance and nothing there would allow an encyclopaedic article to be written. So, after spending a good deal of time on this one, I cannot say I think this software was ever independently notable. However, I have left the !vote unsaid at this point as we have a few more days. If anyone can provide secondary sources showing it was independently notable, I would be happy to keep the page. Otherwise it's a delete (or merge to KDE).

- Move/Draftify. Certainly should be a "Killing of" article rather then a bio per WP:BLP1E.

- Merge (very selectively) into Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, where this journalist belongs yet isn't mentioned. All this as BIO1E. This destination is preferred over the List of journalists killed in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war that comes with the article, because the list should be merged into Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war as well. Yet the list is also a valid destination, as right now it exists alongside. Maybe by current setup the article is too refined. It's possible. Both would be legitimate destinations. My recommendation holds unless RS/I/V previous coverage ON this journalist is found. Always hard to find ON journalists as blurred by materials BY a journalist. So just tag me if you have it.

- @Inter&anthro Would you say that this coverage is of his death, or of his life in the context of his death? Or is there actual coverage of this person outside of the context of his death? Because if the latter is false, its plainly WP:BLP1E and the subject himself does not pass WP:GNG, so the article would at least need to be changed to Death of Samer Abu Daqqa, if not merged or deleted.

- Keep, and redirect per nableezy. The death received non trivial coverage, in multiple reliable sources, and therefore meets WP:EVENT. HilbertSpaceExplorer (talk) 10:53, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I suggest you re-read EVENT which this clearly does not pass.
- Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect.
- Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards (as described below).
- Events having lesser coverage or more limited scope may or may not be notable; the descriptions below provide guidance to assess the event.
- Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.

- Reporters Without Borders has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court that includes Samer Abu Daqqa's killing, which will bring along with it continued coverage about it. The coverage has been very wide and in diverse sources, from CNN (American), Jerusalem Post (Israeli), The Guardian (British), al-Jazeera (Qatari), France 24 (French). It has caused complaints to be raised to the ICC (international impact) by both al Jazeera and RWB, it has notable NGOs like the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders discussing it at depth, it has the UNESCO Director General making remarks about it. But you just proclaim that this
clearly does not pass.
It has been re-analyzed afterwards, it has widespread coverage in diverse sources.

- Weak Keep" There is one feature article in She Kicks magazine; all other sources of length are from the various teams so are not independent. She Kicks probably would not be enough for me except that I found many mentions where she made the only goal and/or the winning goal of the match. This coverage is from reliable independent sources. I realize these are mentions, not significant coverage (which is why I am not bothering to add to the article), but they demonstrate ongoing coverage of her career as well as the key role she has on these teams. If the decision is not to keep this article, may I suggest moving it to the draft space for more development? I suspect there are more sources, I just have not figured out what British newspapers or magazines cover women's football. Rublamb (talk) 23:10, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Rublamb, the She Kicks page is a routine transactional announcement and does not contribute to notability (all signings/departures are reported, and these are derived from press releases from the football clubs so are not independent anyway). Match reports are also considered

- Comment. This is a WP:Biography of a living person and I hope everyone realises that while articles from mainspace often get deleted, these WP:Articles for deletion discussions remain accessible on the Internet forever, permanently linked to their name. To the article creator and re-creator @Dwanyewest: Although you are probably have the best intentions in your advocacy of this player on Wikipedia, you also have to consider that an underdeveloped stub about a football player is sure to be a lightning rod for controversy, and triggering this type of extended discussion where various editors debate and dissect their existing media coverage simply fuels more chatter on the Internet that isn't all that positive. The fact that one of the most active Wikipedia editors from WP:WikiProject Football and associated task forces is recommending that this article is not only deleted but also "salted" underscores that another possible consequence is that the player would essentially not be eligible for their own Wikipedia article in the future. I'm not sure what the right solution is here – I initially recommended draftification to allow the article creator and other editors to further develop the article and publish it in the future when more meaningful coverage about the player is found – but if there aren't enough editors to get behind that, then maybe the solution is to simply delete it, just so we can put this protracted discussion to rest and try to minimise any further embarrassment and annoyance to the living person(s) to whom this name belongs.

- Delete: The first reference contains the only secondary source comment that her training is “regular”.
#2, an interview, is entirely non-independent, #3 is very brief and non-independent, #4 brief routine mention of facts, #5 first three paragraphs are facts, not secondary source content, until paragraphs 4-5 that are direct quotes from her coach, not independent, and too close, #6 is sideline routine coverage of the game.
#7&8 are just data, primary source material.
everything reported could be summarises as facts in a table, there is no in depth independent secondary source coverage. SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:31, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply] - Delete: Fails GNG and NBIO. Agree with SmokeyJoe's source eval above.

- Delete - I agree with the source analyses above by SmokeyJoe and JoelleJay. I don't think that SALT is needed at this stage, though. That said, Hack is clearly not in the public eye given that she has only played 2 games this season and 8 the season before in a second tier semi-pro league. She is still young so if she does work here way up to WSL and put herself in the public eye (and gain the WP:SIGCOV that would usually come with) then maybe we can look at restoring this in future, although I would prefer Draft and AfC at that stage, personally.

- Thanks for these. Childs (1991) writes about the first birthday of legality. This falls squarely in primary source territory. It mentions a new promotions manager, and that must raise some questions about independence. But yes, definitely a primary source. Barrowclough (1991) writes an editorial 8 days after the newspaper ran an article mentioning the new promotions manager. Again, there might be questions about independence here, but the piece remains a primary source. See WP:PRIMARYNEWS. Do you have a link for (Ormonde, 1990) so I can take a look at that one?
- The real question is still: what makes this brothel actually notable? What is the encyclopaedic article on the subject meant to be about? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:10, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Boneymau (talk) 00:11, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- PRIMARYNOTBAD is saying that primary sources can be useful in an article when used appropriately. The point here is not that we cannot use a primary source, but that they do not count towards demonstrating notability. The relevant guideline is WP:SIRS. This says:

- Notability isn't a question of how long somebody has been "active", it's a question of the quality of the sourcing that can be shown to externally validate his significance. That is, it isn't demonstrated by sourcing the article to his staff profiles on the self-published websites of his own present or former employers as proof that he exists — it's demonstrated by sourcing the article to journalism about him, in third-party media outlets other than his own employers, and/or books that weren't self-published by his own employers, as proof that his work has been externally validated as important by people without a vested interest in it.

Seems completely promotional material and only primary source coverage - all in-article sources are either HPTN or clinicaltrials.gov links to studies ran by HPTN. According to XTools, Emillerfhi360 (talk · contribs) has 85% article ownership, an account with no edits outside the article over a five year period, who has potential undisclosed COI, and was cautioned on the article's talk page. Not to justify the AfD, but this has a huge amount of in-body external links and overlinking, I am surprised it was not picked up by an automated tool.
Searching for independent sources turned up:
- [18], non signficant coverage
- [19], not independent, as Eric Miller is the HPTN press contact ([20])
There are plenty of sources which cite HPTN studies, eg. [21], but I cannot find any independent reliable sources with significant coverage.

- Not sure This organization has probably spent about US$1 billion on its programs. In the field of medical research orgs often avoid the media. I am not sure that this org meets WP:N. Much of the coverage mentioning this org is about its research and programs. I am sure that most of the content here is promotional and if this article is to be kept, then it would benefit from 1) having all promotional or self-published citations deleted then 2) deleting all content without citations. I think the text remaining may be 3-5 sentences. If there is appetite for deleting content, then I support that.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Nominated for 3 reasons:
- As a sort of "mercy killing". The person doesn't want an article about them, as they have said there multiple times.
- Wikipedia's WP:SIGCOV policy says that the coverage needs to address the topic "directly and in detail". Discounting the citations that are connected to Rob, we are left with these citations: HBR, QZ, Design Observer, Salon, Chicago Tribune and several NYT articles. Most of these are fleeting mentions of Mr Walker, and the remainder are focussed on the topics covered by individual books (which already have their own articles) rather than Mr Walker himself. So I don't believe that the coverage addresses Mr Walker "directly and in detail", as required.
- Aside from any Wikipedia policy, I don't believe there is any benefit of having an article which is basically a copy of Mr Walker's CV.
If anyone is wondering who I am, I have no connection to Mr Walker, I just read the article and thought I would try to help. My only other edits have been a few small additions (nothing relating to Mr Walker) from an IP address.

- Keep Long-standing and recognized organization in the field [22]; among other things, they maintain and provide a set of standard reference materials (IHSS standards) that are widely used in soil research [23]. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:54, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I think Elmidae is right to keep this, but I'd point out that Humic acids are the gardener's equivalent of complementary medicine, a thing where products whose composition isn't even known to the producer are offered for sale with promises of enhanced plant growth based on extremely scanty evidence and no scientific basis. Like complementary medicine, everyone involved in humic acids is very vocal, but the terminology is more impressive than the underlying facts. We should keep this organisation not on the basis that it supports important science, but on the basis that it's generated evidence of notability in a field that gets written-about.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 12:27, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]- I don't know much about participating in these, feel free to delete my comment if I am not meant to say anything.
- I also don't know if humic acids being (allegedly) unfounded or under-evidenced as useful in gardening really undermines the scientific credentials or focus of the International Humic Substances Society. But from what I see of the research they support, I'll go ahead and mildly doubt it. It doesn't seem like they are restricted to supporting research into if whichever acid helps whatever garden crop, and instead include a wide range of topics about humic substances.
- In general, I find even short records of professional societies to be very useful for a popular encyclopedia to cover. Even historically, paper book encyclopedias would keep track of these things because it's an incredibly useful resource for someone - especially a student or any young person - to run into. It records the landscape of a profession. Sometimes it helps underline the mere existence of an otherwise obscure profession or specialization. And this is an international society. It is not a 20 person club of friends with similar interests. It appears referenced directly in many academic articles. And it continues to have conferences (is not defunct). Not to be rude to people interested in other things, but I can think of a lot I would delete instead. Soil is what we depend on for life as much as water and air. Whatever is going on in the field is particularly notable to me.
- The article should have more sources, for sure. It would also be good to have it better integrated into the larger Wiki and linked to from more soil science related articles. And should be re-written to be a little in the first paragraph to be less ad-copy-ish. I may just do that small part, then people can undo it if it is worse.
- About potential other sources, here's some:
- https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4395/13/4/1044 - "[...]we studied the standardized samples of HS of the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS)." ... could be used as an independent source to show and characterize an activity of the society in supporting soils research
- https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11356-023-26398-3 - more of the above
- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S004313541530021X - etc
- https://experts.umn.edu/en/publications/suwannee-river-natural-organic-matter-isolation-of-the-2r101n-ref
- https://chembioagro.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s40538-021-00229-4 - there's actually quite a lot of these studies where somehow it's the IHSS that provides the materials - I think that should be covered but lack the technical background in this area to say for sure or to say exactly how it should be done
- https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=594703604&hl=en&sxsrf=AM9HkKlmO1zdHuPzIE9DqtqzXFXVRISa1Q:1704008925634&q=inauthor:%22International+Humic+Substances+Society.+International+Meeting%22&tbm=bks - sources from within the group's conferences, useful
- I might even be able to add this source, as it's less technical:
- ^^ Chin, YP., McKnight, D.M., D’Andrilli, J. et al. Identification of next-generation International Humic Substances Society reference materials for advancing the understanding of the role of natural organic matter in the Anthropocene.

Video game character of dubious notability. Reception is limited to listicles and starts unimpressively with "In 2012, GamesRadar+ ranked Agent 47 as the 47th...". My BEFORE failed to find anything useful other than plot summaries; academic reception is limited to passing mentions in an undergraduate paper and one book (note: I could only access snippets which don't suggest SIGCOV is met). Per WP:ATD-R, a redirect to Hitman (franchise) will suffice. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:40, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Me personally, I feel 47 as a character is too notable to be delisted, as he seems to be generally well recognized within gaming as a whole. This doesn't mean his article can't be edited with better citations to other articles discussing him and the critical reception around him, as well as a complete removal of any academic studies of his character (he's no Isaac Clarke or Adam Jensen when it comes to this). This is just my suggestion, and you don't have to do it. Chiefmister (talk) 05:20, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with Hitman (franchise): Currently, the Hitman (franchise) article has no descriptions of the games' characters, including 47. While I agree that the sources here don't establish notability, largely because they're listicles, and I haven't uncovered any further sources, several of the sources are from generally reliable publications and can be used to draft a description of 47 to be included in the article on the franchise. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:40, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Although I appreciate the sources identified in this discussion, I still think that this should be merged. As @Kung Fu Man has noted, the PC Gamer, Polygon, and PCGamesN articles are all basically game reviews with brief descriptions of 47. I don't think any of the listicles establish notability, including The Telegraph article cited by @OwenX. There is nothing in the notability guidelines that says that once something hits mainstream news, it's notable. The book that @Zxcvbnm cited uses 47 as an example for how the player navigates the game, rather than a description of the character himself. In all, I think the sources identified amount to a significant amount of trivial coverage, rather than a sufficient amount of significant coverage. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:59, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge...for now While my gut is telling me there should be more for 47 online, even looking at a 2018 version of it with a larger reception section shows it was all lists. I feel too WP:TNT should also come into play here: what's here, much like early Pokemon articles, is mostly uncited and useless, and if sources do manifest whatever editor works on it will likely be starting over from near scratch anyway.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 09:12, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Agent 47's a clearly notable character. He got a full PC Gamer article, Polygon article, and a PCGamesN article. At bare minimum this is enough to confer clear WP:GNG on the character. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:09, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- While I do feel there is some commentary in those first two articles Zx, they feel primarily about the games and related gameplay. Keep in mind this is me skimming through them after only being up a few hours, but arguing they're full articles on the character feels like a misnomer. And that ends up another problem with Agent 47: a lot of his commentary is hard to separate from commentary about how the game plays.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 10:29, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- He also got an article in The Ringer about his character too. Vox is considered a WP:RS, even though they also own Polygon, it's different enough to be a distinct site and source. The articles may be about Agent 47's gameplay, but they still make it obvious they are referring to him rather than just the game in general. I am convinced he is notable given these sources. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:38, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I can see your point. What do you think about the TNT argument though? I'm really convinced what's here isn't usable, and after this many years of being in this state (and until recently a much WORSE state), I don't see it viably being an article without being started over from zero with what's there. And yes, WP:NODEADLINE is a thing but at some point you have to question if it's better to let someone potentially wanting to work on the thing undo the redirect on their own.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 10:56, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- TNT doesn't make sense to me here, as no part of the article is technically "bad" besides the reception. The reception needs to be rewritten and current reception sources mostly or entirely discarded, but otherwise it can be kept. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:21, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Per KFM, I'd like to see someone do something with those sources, which seem to be rather freely written (blog / social media style rather than academic) before I'd consider withdrawing this nom. Nice job finding those sources, though. Maybe this can be rescued. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:50, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I have also found yet another SIGCOV here, in a book about villains in media. It talks about how players rationalize playing as a villain, giving Agent 47 as an example of a character who was created to be the perfect assassin, thus making it easier for players to "justify" what they are doing. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:34, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, evaluating sources found by ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ. The Vader, Voldemort and Other Villains source is excellent secondary SIGCOV. That book, with PCGamesN and The Ringer are a solid three (Noting, The Ringer is an SBNation site with a proper masthead and the author is a professional journalist who has written for many RS).

Your only other sources are a GNIS regurgitator that explicitly says that it doesn't know anything and has unreliable sources on that very page and a WWW site where random people can sumbit (using the handy link provided) made up ghost towns, for all that the world knows. This isn't in either of the Ghost Towns or Place Names books, moreover. How can you read a WWW page that says that it is unreliable and doesn't know anything and then use it as a source?

- The upper-case names are not labelling quadrangles, several of them are in fact overlapping on several quadrangles. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 02:07, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - We don't keep until somebody proves a place doesn't exist. We don't create articles until substantial, reliable sources prove that it does. Fails GNG for lack of sources. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:28, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Please see Lists of ghost towns in the United States. Also, please note Wikipedia:WikiProject Ghost towns. Wikipedia does indeed have articles about towns that don't exist, but once upon a time did. Lists that show hundreds of ghost towns in a state, and also stand-alone articles for ghost towns on the lists. It is not a requirement for a stand-alone article on a ghost town to also be on a list, but it helps. Beck is on the List of ghost towns in Oklahoma - and it is appropriate to have a stand-alone article on ghost towns like Beck. I have added the project banner for WikiProject Ghost towns to the talk page. — Maile (talk) 03:40, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- So your argument is that since the same editor who wrote this article also added it to a list article, sourced to that very same WWW site where random people can sumbit (using the handy link provided) made up ghost towns, we should keep it. That's not really putting reliable sourcing into practice. If you'd actually checked some sources, you'd have found that there's no Beck ghost town in them. That's because there never has been any such town. As I said above: it's a survey rectangle. Uncle G (talk) 15:41, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Let's clear that part up. Beck was added in 2007 by IvoShandor (talk · contribs). Uncle G Have you been there? That would be the ultimate proof of your assertion that this does not exist. I've been editing on Wikipedia over 15 years, and have learned that any editor who accuses others of fabricating content, needs to verify their own accusations. You keep saying nothing is there. How do you know this? In reply to your comment, "If you'd actually checked some sources, you'd have found that there's no Beck ghost town in them. That's because there never has been any such town." NEVER been there? Never, ever? What is YOUR source? Quite frankly, I'd find it rather odd that sources would claim something doesn't exist. How would they happen to be commenting on something that doesn't exist? — Maile (talk) 18:48, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I have already said twice now that the sources do not comment on this. Because, to spell it out yet again, there are no sources claiming that this exists. There's a self-submission WWW site that is not a reliable source for that very reason, and nothing else. You have the burden of proof exactly backwards. I don't have to perform personal investigation in violation of our no original research policy. You have to provide a source demonstrating your claim. And since I know that this is a township survey rectangle and not a town, from the very map presented even, I can confidently state that you won't be able to do so. I mentioned that you'll have no joy with the Ghost Towns or Place Names books, above, but feel free to actually put the legwork in and look at them yourself. You've evidently made zero attempt to check out sources, otherwise you wouldn't be making such addled arguments as "please see the list articles" or "what is YOUR source?" for a statement that something is not in sources. The rest of the world doesn't have to prove this negative. You, Maile66 have the burden of actually putting the effort in and proving a positive. Show us the page number in the Ghost Towns book. It will be a non-existent ghost page number between Avery and Beer City. Uncle G (talk) 20:24, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I don’t think the Morris book has all of the ghost towns that exist in Oklahoma in them. The book even has Talala in it. Talala is definitely very alive. The town has 200 people. I’m just saying the book may not have captured all of the towns or be accurate in some parts. Nothing can be fully accurate or precise. I have the physical copy of the book and although Beck is not in there, he may have not meant to not add towns. He might’ve never heard of Beck. Bethel, Grant County is a different story. If I did a little more research, I would’ve came to the conclusion the town was a post office. Not a ghost town. That’s wrong on my behalf. Also, “ghosttowns.com” seemed reliable at first due the fact that everyone was using it in the List of ghost towns in Oklahoma page. If anything, we need to double down on our research and find other sources besides that very unreliable, user-submitted website. DannonCool (talk) 21:59, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Maile66, you're asking us to prove a negative. That's impossible and it isn't how Wikipedia works. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 16:50, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Nooooo. The editor above has declared that no such ghost town exists in the area stated. I'm asking him what he bases his comment on. He's been very firm that there is absolutely nothing there. The comment indicates he has information to backup his assertion. I'm just asking what that is. Let's say, for instance, that someone lists a town name Jerico in some state. You tell me no such town exists in that state. Wouldn't you need to have knowledge of that state to tell me Jerico does not exist there? — Maile (talk) 18:59, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment -- WeirdNAnnoyed is absolutely correct. Until substantial, secondary sources exist, and article can not exist in mainspace. There is no requirement for anyone to "prove" that something does not exist, even if it were logically possible (which, again as WnA points out, it's NOT). Anyone supporting the article's continued existence needs to provide good RS (see WP:THREE for a good essay on that). Until that happens, the only possible policy-based decision is deletion. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 19:15, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Last1in, GNG requires sourcing (to the standard, level of coverage, and numerousness outlined in our P&G's) to be able to retain the article. It is not up to people advocating delete to prove that something doesn't exist, as a) proving a negative is difficult if not impossible, but more importantly b) that isn't the standard for inclusion on Wikipedia.

- Keep. Satisfies GNG. This topic has received significant coverage in books and periodical/encyclopedia articles. A search for "disownment"+parental in Google Books brings up many sources such as this book. According to this encyclopedia article on (parental) "Disownment", there are legally recognised forms of (parental) disownment. From there one can find, for example, this book chapter on the public process of disownment among the Tanala of Ikongo. There are articles in Google Scholar that are entirely about parental or family disownment. [The concept of "disownment" in Quakerism satisfies GNG in of itself. I am not sure whether this form of disownment, and parental disownment, are parts of a single topic, or whether they should be treated separately.] The article can be expanded with material that goes far beyond a dictionary definition.

I found extensive coverage for both LGBT+ and Quakers on gScholar, as well as plenty of WP:DEPTH and case study analysis.

Relisting comment: Relisting this discussion, it would be helpful if the changes to the article since nomination were assessed. It seems like this article has gone beyond a dictionary definition. Right now, I don't see support for Deletion but let's keep this discussion open another few days.

- Keep: and expand. The concept dates back to the earliest legal systems, and is covered by many inheritance law textbooks. The French language wiki has more about the relevant laws in France, Switzerland and Quebec, and the Japanese language wiki has useful information about the history and legal aspects in Japan. Also pinging @BD2412: for his expertise here. Owen× ☎ 01:03, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I am no expert on disownment, but the concept exists legally, and goes beyond disinheritance (which basically means cutting someone out of a will) towards complete severance of familial legal obligations. Legally, disownment can also run both ways — a child can disown their parents through an effort to obtain legal emancipation. There has to be a mechanism, however. Standing up at Thanksgiving dinner and yelling "I disown you" may perform the function socially, but any legal sort of disownment would have to be accomplished through some kind of court proceeding. I'm sure that more can be found on that. BD2412 T 02:23, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Since the article hasn't yet covered Quintillian's abdicatio or the laws trying to prevent disownment in Edo period Japan, I'm going to say that that this is a stub with scope for expansion. Uncle G (talk) 16:01, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
