Doesn’t meet WP:NPROF. Also WP:CONTENTFORK and WP:SOAPBOX, this article is supposed to be a biography, but the article seems mostly about promoting his views on Communist mass killings, so it is more a content fork of Mass killings under communist regimes, than a biography.

Inertia (anxiety) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Delete per 6, 7, and 8 and as meaningless or unsupport-ed/-able under its current title, and also per 6 as an unsupportable neologism under the proposed move title.

This page was created as a 600-byte stub in 2012, growing to 3.6kb with four references (e.g., rev. 992527804) and then became listed recently as an assigned topic for this Wiki Ed course. The assigned Wiki Ed student performed a page move which was reverted. The student then created a properly formatted move request (here) which is currently active. The move request proposes "Autistic inertia" as the new title.

This deletion request concerns both topics:

  • Inertia (anxiety) (the current topic) – not clear what this even is. No reliable references since 2012.
  • Autistic inertia (the move request target) – this is a neologism from a single paper from 25 November 2020 (Buckle et al. 2020; result #2 in this search). It's not even published yet, it's merely a preprint.

There are endless blogs and community websites which do contain the term. However, the title "Autistic inertia" has the look and feel of a syndrome or disorder, making it subject to WP:MEDRS. If the intention is to keep this article outside the stricter referencing required by MEDRS, say, an article about the characteristics or nature of autistic people, then it should be given a descriptive title of that nature, and not one that looks like a medical topic. My guess is there isn't sufficient reliable information for a stand-alone article even for that, and that the Autism article might be able to have some content added to it about the topic.

Some complicating issues:

  • the state of referencing was awful; I reduced the 3kb article to a sentence (with one, poor reference retained).
  • another editor has since tagged it for revdel due to plagiarism still present in the article history.
  • creator AutisticMan (talk · contribs) not notified (they are an indeffed sock)

There is nothing worth merging anywhere; the RM target is a non-notable neologism; this article should be deleted. Mathglot (talk) 00:02, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

edit
  • Keep and move to a broader title under mental health. A very quick book and scholar search seems to bring it up as more a general mental health topic as it being related to having the initial effort to overcome a struggle. Even Freud seems to have commented on it. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 01:39, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and move to Autistic inertia. A google scholar search reveals academic publications about the phenonemon, such as here where they describe it as a common topic in autistic circles, and open discussion here, where it merits an index item and here. This presentation from an academic researcher states the term has been used since 2001 at least, and this recent doctorate states "Autistic inertia has been discussed by autistic advocates (M. Sparrow, 2016; Sullivan, 2002; van de Wettering, 2010)but has scarcely received attention in the empirical literature". So it's a thing, and academics publishing in oversighted sources are saying it's a thing, although it is only recently being given more serious research attention.OsFish (talk) 04:16, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Extra comment: Having re-read the proposal, I would like to emphasise in bold that Autistic inertia is not a neologism in a 2020 paper. Thus, a key premise of the deletion move is not true.OsFish (talk) 04:21, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Inertia is a natural state as it takes energy to make changes (especially on Wikipedia). In the context of autism, this is done better at analysis paralysis. I don't think a redirect is appropriate as the current content is too flimsy and the title too vague. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:09, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – The available sourcing is too weak. "Autistic inertia" is not a term in widespread use (not even that widespread on forums) and has too little coverage in WP:RS, no WP:MEDRS to be seen. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:26, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I've been a clinical psychologist for 30 years and I have never heard of a disorder called "inertia"; there is no such listing in DSM-5 or ICD-11; and as Mathglot has explained in painstaking (albeit concise) detail, this alleged disorder/problem/condition (whatever you want to call it) lacks a logical foundation, including references to the scholarly literature. This article is an embarrassment and a sad example of our tendency to protect silly articles that should have never been published simply because they've languished on Wikipedia for a few years. Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) [he/his/him] 20:48, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Markworthen, I wonder whether you have any further thoughts on whether this is a phenomenon some people experience, so that it could be "a thing", even though it's not "a disorder". There are many subjects that are not listed in the DSM-5 or ICD-11 and that are often rather vaguely or imprecisely defined and have no single logical foundation, but that I still think belong in Wikipedia (e.g., Love, Self-denial, Altruism, Charity (practice), Prayer – for that matter, we have trouble even coming up with a single, universal, logically consistent definition of Woman). WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:19, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Good points, WhatamIdoing. Thank you. Although this article should be deleted, it would certainly be appropriate (and helpful) to discuss the concept of "emotional inertia" in the Anxiety article. It's a relatively new hypothesized construct, but it has garnered some serious research.[2][3][4][5] Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) [he/his/him] 18:06, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at McHusky's advice, I'm thinking that the best option might be a redirect to Anxiety (or another similar article). WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:54, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The original article was basically just poorly sourced plagiarism, to be sure. "Inertia (anxiety)" is unsaveable as far as I can tell, since there's really just nothing there, and explicitly linking it with anxiety disorders would have to violate WP:NOR, since there's nothing to be found that even meets basic reliability standards, let alone medical standards. If we tried to save it, it would have to be moved to Autistic Inertia and it would need some serious improvements to sourcing. Unfortunately, it appears that there isn't much for scholarly sources, and there isn't anything that meets WP:MEDRS, for sure. (I still think something should be done for the topic, and that might mean a redirect could be useful, but I'll put that in the discussion section) --McHusky (talk) 23:41, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

edit

I'm all for keeping the article if the sources demonstrate significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, but that requires evidence that meets the GNG test of Notability. To date, the links provided above in a couple of the keep !votes above make claims which do not hold up under scrutiny. The following claims are made:

  • "A very quick book and scholar search seems to bring it up as more a general mental health topic..."
    No, they don't. There is nothing in those results that supports a claim of notability. In the book search, results 3, 4, and 5 have false positives with intervening punctuation like commas, or are parts of two sentences. None of the top ten book results contain the term. In the Scholar search, one result is relevant: the 25 November Buckle paper that I already linked at the top; it is the only one, and the authors themselves call it out as a neologism as far as its first appearance in a journal.
  • "A google scholar search reveals academic publications about the phenonemon, such as here ..."
    This is not an academic publication, it is a preprint, and it is the 'download link' version of the same preprint I identified in the Afd statement at the top as a "paper from 25 November 2020". It's not surprising someone else would find it again, as it is the only academic result from Scholar that is remotely a match. The authors recognize it as a neologism, stating: "This study... is the first to explore 'autistic inertia'..."; with autistic inertia in double quotes.
  • "...and open discussion here..."
    This links (Conn, 2019), and has one passing mention on page 28, referencing this 2013 unstrangemind blog post.
  • "This presentation from an academic researcher..."
    There is in fact a web page with an abstract at that address, belonging to University of Kent Academic Repository. The web page identifies itself as an "unpublished" paper, and provides this full-text download link which is a dead link to a 2019 blog post of the PDA Society.
  • "this recent doctorate states..."
    This thesis is entitled, "Understanding executive function in young autistic people: moving from the lab to the everyday", and contains the term "autistic inertia" three times: twice in footnotes (naming unstrangemind blog again—small world), and once in the body of the 303 page thesis, in particular, the "...has been discussed..." sentence already quoted above.
  • "Extra comment: ...Autistic inertia is not a neologism in a 2020 paper."
    Technically, you're right; the term appears in numerous autism blogs and discussion boards, and has for a long time. But since Notability depends on reliable sources, and not SPSes, by "neologism" I was thinking about published academic papers. I haven't been able to find any academic reference before 25 November 2020, and the authors themselves state that that was the first time it has appeared in a study. Sorry about any confusion regarding what I meant by neologism—I meant printed appearance.

I don't dispute that there are blogs with discussions on the topic, but that is not enough. So far, I haven't found even one reliable, independent source with significant coverage that would support notability of this topic, and we'd need more than one. Mathglot (talk) 06:16, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I still think something should be done for this topic, and it would be shame to ignore it despite its clear and strong presence as a subject of discussion in the autism community. Does anyone know what the standard or guideline is for counting things as "biomedical" or not? This topic is admittedly close to that line, whatever it is, but I think there's a strong case to be made for this topic having a mention somewhere in Wikipedia, given the degree to which it's discussed in the autism community—it's discussed so much that it actually has gotten attention to the point of being thoroughly described in published scholarly research (Welch, 2020),[6] as well as directly investigated by unpublished research (Buckle)[7] (I know that's not a valid source, but my point is just that it's enough of "a thing" to warrant at least a mention somewhere on Wikipedia). No one's claiming that this is a medical disorder itself, and insofar as it may be a potential "symptom" of autism spectrum disorder, there's insufficient material that meets WP:MEDRS. That said, I believe that insofar as it's a significant phenomenon and topic of discussion in the autism community, we have the sources for that.
Still, even then I'm unsure if there are really the sources necessary to support an entire page for that. It also could appear to be more medical than it really is, if simply put on its own page. Being in context on a page and clearly labeled as "a not scientifically/medically verified phenomenon and common topic of discussion within the autism community" could be enough to keep it out of the purview of medical sourcing standards. If anyone has ideas for where that could go, I'm all ears (eyes?). Executive dysfunction and Societal and cultural aspects of autism stand out to me as potential places, although the former may be a bit too "medical" in context, so I'm unsure if it would even matter how strongly I disclaim the medical validity of the term. Either way, could it be worth keeping the Inertia (anxiety) page as a redirect to whatever might manifest for Autistic Inertia?
(A couple notes: I'm the Wiki Ed student that was assigned this article. I'm not personally invested in keeping it around or anything, but I do think this is a great opportunity to get rid of this problematic article and instead represent this topic in a more appropriate fashion elsewhere on Wikipedia. Also, apologies for any formatting problems—I'm new to editing here, let alone on AfD pages). --McHusky (talk) 23:46, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@McHusky:, you're a new editor, and you're doing fine, learning the ropes much faster than average, so don't worry too much about formatting. This discussion should concentrate on the Afd question, as you did above. Other questions, such as,

Does anyone know what the standard or guideline is for counting things as "biomedical" or not?

are good ones, but not relevant here. If you would bring that up elsewhere, and {{ping}} me, I will answer it. (Normally I'd say, ask it on the article talk page, but since it may disappear, that's not a good venue. You can ask on your own Talk page, on my Talk page, or even at WT:MED.) Btw, you have a great attitude, and you'd be a good addition to the project; I hope you decide to stay on after your course is over. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 01:41, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also, wrt where to put such information, Societal and cultural aspects of autism doesn't seem like the right place (how is it either societal, or cultural? Inertia could manifest entirely alone, couldn't it?) but what about something at Autism spectrum#Behavioral characteristics? Mathglot (talk) 05:27, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Andrew Davidson mentioned Analysis paralysis above, and that looks like another potential merge/redirect target (not that there's much available to merge, but there isn't any particular need to delete it if we're just going to re-create the page as a redirect, either). WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:06, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I don't see this as necessarily associated with autism or even with psyhopathology; it's part of the human personality. There's an imense literaturee on various aspects going back for centuries DGG ( talk ) 10:46, 14 December 2020 (UTC) . .[reply]
@DGG: It looks like your comment may have been truncated on either end; as a result it isn't clear if you wished to express a !vote, or what your central point was. Can you review? Thx. Mathglot (talk) 19:37, 15 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]
thanks for notifying me , one my my macros malfunctioned. I fixed it. It's a basic but general concept, comonly found in a great many people. "Autistic inertia" would be a special use, which I wasn;t previously aware of, andwould need a separate article if valid. As an example of what the article should betalking about, I have an great deal of reluctance to start dealing with the flood of promotionalism every day at WP, or , in the Real World, before starting the laundry. and I typically call this inertia. I don't think it has anything to do with any autistic tendencies, but just the human relutance to start a large and endless task. I use the word, while knowing perfectly well it is completely different from the physical concept. Is there anyone here who has not used it that way?
Comment I support merging or adding new content about this topic to Autism spectrum#Behavioral characteristics. Based on the discussion, there seems to be agreement that the current article as written has problems that that could be fixed through selective merging.

Many autistic members of InLv* find that they have a particular difficulty that we usually call "inertia". At first sight it looks like laziness: the inertial person has problems getting started with things, such as doing housework, filling in tax forms, or writing a paper for Autism99, even if the motivation to do it is present. It may also be that he ends up doing something different than planned, because this was easier to get started with than the originally planned task. But on the other hand, when the inertial person does manage to get started with something, it is hard to stop again; normal sleeping times are not observed and he gets irritable if interrupted because he is completely immersed in the activity that he finally managed get started with. One InLv member compared himself to a steamroller: 'I'm a slow starter, but get out of the way once I'm rolling!'. Inertia can thus have its advantages if one manages to use it to one's advantage. The topic of inertia tends to return periodically in the group discussion and always generates plenty of 'me too' responses; it seems it's an almost universal trait of people on the autistic spectrum. It has been shown to be very important to one's self-esteem to distinguish inertia from laziness. Inertia and laziness can co-exist in the same person, but they are not the same and do not feel the same either. * [Note: InLv – 'Independent Living on the Autistic Spectrum', a mailing list set up in 1996 by Dekker to replace an old, dialup BBS.]

This is the page for a (mainly covers) band made up of various musicians who have previously been in other, better-known bands. None of the current or former members has their own WP page, and even if they did, notability is not inherited. Unless I've missed something, their gigs have been support slots for better-known bands or on small stages at big multiple-stage events such as Pride festivals. Their recordings have been either on minor labels or self-released on Bandcamp. None of the cited sources demonstrate significant, third-party coverage: they're either streaming/download sites or social media, and I've been unable to find any other coverage which would pass WP:NBAND.
Also bundling the band's recordings:

  • Keep. Firstly, you obviously didn't read the article properly, as the band only started out with mostly covers... They have since changed the direction of their music, releasing original material. So your branding of them as a (mostly covers) band is not only inaccurate, but ignorant, given their number of original songs is greater than the number of covers that they have recorded.


Their current label is not a 'minor label'... Having been around since 1995, and having many notable acts in their rosta, Out of Line Music would be classed as an independent label, by Wikipedia's classification WP:NBAND Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable). They have released two albums and an EP with Out of Line Music.
They have played the main stage at festivals, not just small stages:

They also have been the headline act, including their double headline tour earlier this year with Ashbury Heights, where both acts were headliners. The second half of the tour, which would have taken place later in the year, was cancelled on account of the Covid-19 pandemic.
They have had multiple articles and interviews in Germany's Sonic Seducer and Orkus magazines. The latest being:

Alinblack (talk) 20:47, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Have you got any more reliable sources available? As per WP:RS, we try to avoid using Facebook as a reference for notability. Spiderone 21:18, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The information has since been removed from the Schattenwelt website, as most festival websites tend to focus on promoting whats upcoming, as opposed to the festivals that have already taken place. So the original information as to the bands who played the main stages is no longer there, and only seems to exist in any form of chronology through Facebook posts, which makes referencing difficult.

Alinblack (talk) 01:28, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And are there any sources that provide significant coverage of the band (i.e. more than just a passing mention in a concert listing)? Spiderone 09:54, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the articles are in Sonic Seducer and Orkus magazines, rather than online. I found a link to an article on the Sonic Seducer website, and it also mentions of an interview the band did in one of the magazines previous issues:

This link from Orkus magazines website mentions of the interview that was referred to in one of the links I provided from a facebook post that shows a photograph of the interview in the magazine. The link t Orkus also shows the bands name on the front cover in one of the pictures.

There are also a number of pictures of interviews from magazines and newspapers on the bands website, as well as links to some interviews on various sites:

Also, I'd like to reiterate the point I made previously about them having released two albums on a notable independent label which by Wikipedia's classification WP:NBAND (See #5) is enough for the article to be deemed notable. Alinblack (talk) 16:25, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep band article, merge album articles into it. As stated by previous user, band article passes WP:BAND "Has released two or more albums on ... one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)." (Beautiful Suicide and Church for the Malfunctioned both on Out of Line Music.)

Not so certain of individual notability of releases. Best to merge this data into the main article to make one long piece.Romomusicfan (talk) 00:07, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Ace in Spades: Main band article passes WP:SNG WP:BAND as detailed above - an SNG has equal standing with the GNG.

  • Keep Why is this nominated for deletion? Even if the band has released some stuff on Bandcamp, they have records released on labels. They don't appear to be a "minor" labels. Even if they are minor labels, who cares? They still appear to be notable. The labels themselves are connected to many bands which have Wiki articles. Should we delete those too? HocusPocus00 (talk) 09:14, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep band article, merge album articles into it. Keep the band article as per the coverage in reliable German sources discussed above but merge the album and song articles into the band article as there is not enough coverage for those to be stand alone articles, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:06, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland (July–December 2020) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Pointless split of article. It needs trimming to remove daily counts and just show significant points in the timeline rather than splitting. This needs merging back to Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland (January–June 2020) and renamed back to Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland. noq (talk) 17:23, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Many COVID-19 articles also include daily counts on their timeline section, for example the timeline section of the COVID-19 pandemic in Jamaica article. They're timeline section includes daily counts along with significant points as well, and so they're article size is very long because of this.
I strongly believe that this article should not be deleted. Daily counts should not be deleted. If deleted, all good faith edits contributed by myself and other fellow Irish Wikipedians editing will be deleted which is a terrible thing to do. I strongly believe that this article and the January–June article should not be deleted and should remain the same. Edl-irishboy (talk) 18:35, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A bit of an over reaction there. Bearing in mind WP:NOTSTATS and WP:NOTNEWS, what is the enduring encyclopaedic value of day by day totals? If they are absolutely needed, then a table would suffice and no need for an article split. Why must they remain and why only until the pandemic is over, if they are not needed after then why have them now? noq (talk) 20:27, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I did overreact a bit there. I didn't mean that after the pandemic is over, these articles will be deleted. The reason for this spit is because, in accordance with WP:SPLIT, the length of the original article was extremely long, so it was split into two different articles. Never mind about the daily counts, because I think that's irrelevant to this discussion at the moment. The COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland article has been split into 4 different articles already, because of the length and size of the original article. It was split first from the original timeline section to the Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland article, then to the Social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland article, then to the Economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland article, and finally the split to the two timeline articles. From my understanding, the split of the timeline articles is in accordance with WP:SPLIT. Edl-irishboy (talk) 22:50, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Change scope/Keep - agree that the topic of this article is too broad. Alonso's article would be too long if all of this one was merged into it, but I definitely think the parts of this article which aren't related to F1 and are missing from his article should be put there, and vis-versa for the F1 bits of his main article to this one, if that is what is decided. It would be a shame to lose the added detail of this article especially regarding his non-F1 racing which is lacking in his main article. Also, I'm not sure I understand why Fernando Alonso#Karting career is a separate section to "motor racing" but that isn't overly relevant to this discussion.
Alternatively I think just keep this article and merge anything relevant from his main article as mentioned above. Either way, I don't think deleting or a full merge would work as the main article is already quite long. A7V2 (talk) 03:59, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This seems to be a mechanical drive-by nomination of an article that existed for over 10 years because it has existed for over 10 years. It points out a problem with the article but it doesn't appear that the nominator has made any effort to fix this. Now, it's our explicit policy that articles may be imperfect and 99% of our 6+ million articles are less than good. The supposed problem here seems trivially easy to fix. If sources are wanted then just consult the numerous academic papers such as The influence of student learning characteristics on progress through the extended essay: A component of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme or Student perceptions of the value of the International Baccalaureate extended essay in preparing for university studies. See WP:BEFORE; WP:NOTCLEANUP and WP:SOFIXIT. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:54, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's not because it's existed for ten years with bad sources -- it's because better sources do not seem to exist. You mention two research papers (which have 33 citations between the both of them), but not a reason why one component of the exam warrants a separate article from the rest of the exam (there are not separate articles for the SAT essay, the AP exam essay, or ACT essay, for example). The reason I mention that its content was cribbed entirely from SPS is to note that the article isn't the product of researching and bringing together independent coverage; it's someone retyping a product brochure into Wikipedia. This is not even a case of "a very effortfully-written article going to the dogs because it failed GNG"; there's not much to merge into the main International Baccalaureate article, and even the sources you've provided would do better there than in an attempt at a standalone article. jp×g 13:52, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wired seems to consider it important enough to write much of an article on. I agree the phrasing is poor (the incident itself isn't notable by Wikipedia's definition), but that doesn't mean that it's not encyclopedic information. Gbear605 (talk) 15:44, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I'm quite skeptical in this field, but we need to increase our coverage of the many people in the field who are actually notable -- our coverage in fashion is usually based on other considerations--as a rough guess I think at least half the articles in Category:Fashion biography stubs are either trivial or promotional. . I hesitated before approving this one, but she's probably notable as a costume historian, and Wired is a respectable source. In working with borderline AfCs the role of a reviewer is not to actually judge notability, because it's often possible to make a good argument in either direction, but only try to predict what AFD will do. I accepted on the basis that most borderline articles about people on the web with more than one Wired source seem to be usually kept at AfD. DGG ( talk ) 21:54, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I believe that this page is valid for keeping because her notability does not only apply to YouTube but also to her current profession as a recognised dress historian and prior work as an assistant designer on Broadway. I believe that the page definitely needs a lot of work, and more information could be included (such as her prior Broadway work) to further exemplify her notability and the validity of the page, but I think that the pages' existence is perfectly valid. PunkAndromeda (talk) 09:39, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as she is a notable historian in a niche that is seeing increasing amounts of attention in recent years.

A change of pace here, if only for the rather florid style of the article. And the second paragraph isn't entirely inaccurate, but here's what this source has to say: "Doc Beatty, an early settler, was instrumental in the road's creation, dragging a mule-drawn scraper through the badlands to the Truckhaven gas station to create the first rough road." And "early" here is the 1920s; the road in question was opened in 1930. So, yeah, Truckhaven was a truck stop, and that's what aerials show for the tiny cluster of buildings at the spot indicated by topos. I don't know when it went away but the spot is at the edge of the surreal desert/suburbia of Salton City. Mangoe (talk) 03:19, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because someone seems to think that WP:NOTBUREAUCRACY is just an essay he can dismiss, I see I will have to waste everyone else's time and mine: it's not a notable place under WP:GEOLAND or any other standard.

That's still not a reason to delete as WP:GEOLAND explains the alternative: "If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the informal place should be included in the more general article on the legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it."

  • Delete. No post office. Looking at old topos indicates that there were a few buildings at that location at one time. Newspapers.com mentions a cafe, Doc Beaty's trail work and some other non-notable articles (don't be confused by the Truckhaven gas station in Colusa County). The florid text certainly is a change, it looks like it was made by an editor with only three edits, so it should probably be reviewed and edited carefully. GBooks yields geothermal plans and links for the Truckhaven trail, but nothing about the Truckhaven community. I found no legal recognition, so #1 of WP:GEOLAND is not met. The coverage is trivial and indicates that Truckhaven was a non-notable cafe so #2 of WP:GEOLAND is not met.

Have you seen this interview? - Sitush (talk) 19:47, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sitush:, yes I understand and there is no need to attack me. Your link is an interview of the org leader. WP:Notability (organizations and companies)#Secondary sources clarifies that Interviews of executives are primary sources and (I quote from that link:) "Primary sources cannot be used to establish notability.". Org notability is lacking for an article. Perhaps a paragraph about the org in article Sangh Parivar should suffice. --Walrus Ji (talk) 01:26, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I apologise if you feel under attack. You have less than 500 edits here, all since September, and it is quite unusual in my experience to see someone like you with such professed knowledge of arcane aspects of Wikipedia policies and guidelines. However, I think you are running before you have learned to walk. For example, GNG is sufficient in its own right and the main purpose of NORG is to prevent the project from being abused by PR campaigns etc. There is no sense in which that Caravan piece could be considered promotional in nature, nor most of the news stories - they make it very obvious to any uninvolved person (such as me, who neither lives in India nor professes a religious or political creed) that the HJS comprises a bunch of extremist idiots. But extremist idiots are no more censored on Wikipedia than the more mainstream conformists. The HJS was described as obscure in 2010 but we are now a decade on and it has been mentioned by many independent sources. What actually is your objection here? - Sitush (talk) 06:06, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think reading and understanding GNG and ORG requires deep knowledge. Both are mostly common sense. My objection is listed in the opening statement. The world is full of idiots and many extreme ones at that. Their work/impact/achievement matters to consider them for an article. Based on what I have seen so far, I think this group has been inconsequential, as a result of which it has lack of multiple examples of "Significant coverage" in reliable media. Hence in my opinion it fails both GNG and ORG. I can see that you disagree with my opinion, and I can live with that.--Walrus Ji (talk) 06:35, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
An organisation whose attempts at censorship, promotion of religious bigotry and alleged connection to acts of violence etc, all and more of which have been reported by a multitude of national mainstream media outlets, is scarcely "inconsequential". It has been around since 2002 and reported since at least 2010. - Sitush (talk) 07:44, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Times of India recently restructured its website (as also did The Hindu). Those articles will still exist on the site under a new url, and should be at the Wayback Machine under the original url.

  • Delete. With help of my knowledge in spanish, I found that this company has been superseded by "Falconi Consultores de Resultado" as stated in its portuguese article [21]. Even so, both companies do not have solid coverage to establish notability. Does not seem to meet NCORP or GNG. Nevertheless, one of the founders, Vicente Falconi, does seem to be notable (portuguese [22]), so if anyone cares enough to create an article on him and merge content from the institute there, I would vote for it. I will not volunteer, though. Mathias (talk) 03:18, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment
I would like to say I am a relatively new editor, was paid by someone to make edits to this page, and was not aware it was not allowed. I was following my employer’s instructions. I have looked up the rules now and spoke to my employer. Hence, I will not post any votes due to conflict of interest, but I want to bring to your attention that the nominator Krutapidla2 seems to have a personal vendetta against Gordon, so there is a clear conflict of interest on his part. I would ask that this deletion be cancelled immediately due to his conflict of interest.
Possibly he is also a paid editor from a freelancer site that didn't get the job and now posting as personal vendetta. How else could he have known that I was hired? The client has told me he only invited 5 people to the task he had posted privately, so Krutapidla2 must be one of the 5 people.
Just to recap, this is what happened:
1) Someone posted negative defamatory content on Gordon’s page from an IP 128.8.127.130
2) Gordon hired someone on a freelancer site to provide factual content, and that someone hired me. I reverted the defamatory language and also posted factual content to expand the page
3) Krutapidla2 reverted everything, including other content I had added.
What the original Troll and “Krutapidla2” wrote are completely inaccurate, defamatory, and contrary to Wikipedia’s principles of neutrality.
He wrote: “On June 20, 2019, the SEC settled administrative securities fraud charges against Gordon.” This is not only wrong, but also extremely misleading and defamatory. Gordon was never charged with fraud. He agreed to a settlement, with no admission of any charges whatsoever, as part of a much larger case against Ability Inc.
Gordon himself was a victim of the fraud by Ability Inc and its founders. The SEC brought fraud charges against Ability’s founders (SOURCE). Gordon was the largest victim. He was the largest shareholder in a public company that lied about its financials to induce Gordon to invest. After Ability’s auditors at BDO admitted they were restating their audited financials, Gordon lost 99% of his investment. Indeed, Gordon was the sole shareholder who called publicly on Ability to provide full transparency, to prevent the founders from taking out $12 million while the company was disintegrating, and to protect public shareholder rights. The SEC investigated multiple parties, settled with Ability and Gordon on a no-admit basis, and litigated against the Ability founders, exactly as Gordon had advocated. All of this is clearly and publicly documented.

If you are going to say anything at all about this topic, please replace the “Krutapidla2” defamatory paragraph with a more accurate description. This would be a balanced and neutral statement:
Please check the talk page for my suggested edits.
Since I have found out I cannot add this personally due to my paid editing, I am asking other Wiki editors to please read the plain facts as I have shared them with you and add this directly, as it is the right thing to do.
I would also ask that “Krutapidla2” not be allowed to make any more edits to this page due to conflict of interest. He also has a Single Purpose Account wp:SPA, and appears to have broken rules. Only an experienced editor would have known how to nominate a page for deletion.

* Comment @Martinvince This is about Mr. Gordon and the SEC:
"According to the SEC's order <...> Gordon negligently failed to take reasonable steps and conduct appropriate due diligence to ensure that Cambridge shareholders voting on the merger were provided with material and accurate information concerning Ability's business prospects, including Ability's purported ownership of a new, game-changing cellular interception product, ULIN, Ability's so-called backlog of orders from its largest customer, a police agency in Latin America, Ability's lack of actual purchase orders backing its backlog, and Ability's pipeline of possible future orders from customers."
"Gordon agreed to a cease-and-desist order, which finds that he willfully violated Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933..."
"The SEC's order requires Gordon to pay a $100,000 civil penalty, imposes a cease-and-desist order, and imposes a 12-month associational, penny stock, and investment company suspension.'"

The more you post things like this, the more it shows that you are most likely a sock puppet of user:Krutapidla2 who nominated the page for deletion and was making disruptive edits. You also conveniently left out the part that says "Without admitting or denying the findings," Have you considered that most people in these cases settle even if they are not at fault because it is much cheaper to pay a fine and get it over with then fight it for years? The same exact thing happened to Elon Musk. SEC went after him over a Twitter post and he had to pay a $20million fine. If you read all that I said, Gordon himself was a victim of the fraud done by the founders of the company and lost 99% of his own investments. He was an innocent victim cut in the middle of all these. Martinvince (talk) 09:43, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1- He definitely meets WP:BASIC, which states "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Again check the sources and explain why the one I mentioned are not credible or significant. This here alone is enough to justify support for a keep and the subject does not necessarily have to meet WP:ANYBIO., as it states "People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria below."
2-  Regarding WP:ANYBIO awards, he has won two Business Plan awards for "Only one to be" Harvard Business School   (2000 for 3Plex; 2010 for EcoSquid)  source 1, Source 2 / Additional In Depth Source not in the article now, Source 3 (All these are additional sources BTW, not in the article)
3- Historical Contribution: Founder of one of the first SaaS logistics companies (3Plex) - pioneer in the sector 
4-  Historical Contribution: Recognized expertise: recognized expert and source of feature articles in multiple media including NY Times, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and CNBC

  • Comment @Martinvince. I researched your contributions on wikipedia, which history spans for about 60 days now and noticed the history of your contributions overlap with Rkoret. Both of you contributed greatly to advance the subject of this article in Wikipedia. Kolma8 (talk) 18:56, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I tried to clean up the article, but after checking the references, realized that most of them not about the subject, but stating his opinion about the subject of the article. He is mentioned as an expert, "one expert" and so on, so he is clearly an expert, but what makes him notable I'm still missing. It reads as a promotional article. Kolma8 (talk) 20:33, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @Martinvince he fails your 1st point. Specifically "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." He didn't receive any significant coverage in the cited sources. He made comments on the subject of the articles, but the articles were not covering Mr. Gordon. I don't see any value to your citing the wiki and name dropping, but not providing any real support to your argument. Kolma8 (talk) 20:38, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am now suspecting that you are the same Pakastani UPE editor that has nominated this page for deletion and have reported you for investigation.
Please check these sources and tell me in what way these are not significant coverage and don’t meet notability?
1- NY Times – Major publication, in-depth coverage
2- Bloomberg Major publication, in-depth coverage
3- HARVARD Award from Harvard Business School, Passing mention, but shows notability and passes criteria for WP:ANYBIO
4- Yahoo Finance Major publication, in depth coverage
Also there are several passing mentions including CNBC, WSJ, Forbes, WP:BASIC States : “If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability.”
In addition, Gordon has appeared as an analyst on CNBC several times and has written in Fortune and other publications.Martinvince (talk) 22:14, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for providing the sources. Checked them. Two were by subscriptions only -- can't comment on them; the other two do not really provide "significant coverage." I will stick to my opinion that the subject fails notability and stay with delete per my right here. Good luck to you! Kolma8 (talk) 22:28, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]


  • Keep but Improve There are enough reliable, secondary sources in this article to pass WP:GNG. Some editing to reduce any unsourced facts or slanted views can be done to tidy things up a bit. I did some general clean up to streamline this and take some of the promotional feel out -- combining what were basically a couple of one-sentence sections with their own headings into the "career" section. Also - this guy is widely recognized as an expert in supply chain and logistics, as noted by several of the sources. Tennis Anyone?Talk15:55, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - please note that after reviewing the contribution of Rkoret and Martinvince I cannot help but notice some collaborative efforts in the subject of this article. Specifically Rkoret created the article. Both users contributed relatively little to Wikipedia in general. Again, just an observation as I was very surprised how rather aggressively both are campaigning for this article. Kolma8 (talk) 19:10, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
* Also can someone address the statement above by Martinvince: "I would like to say I am a relatively new editor, was paid by someone to make edits to this page". The more I look into the history of this page the more I am confused. Please someone with more experience help. Kolma8 (talk) 19:19, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have already disclosed that I am a paid editor if you read all the details above. However, none of my edits was accepted on the page and was reverted. I do not know who the other editor is or whether he was paid or not, but having used a paid editor has no bearing if a notable page should remain or deleted. You need to make your argument based on the page content and sources. If you find promotional language feel free to revise and I think that’s what you tried to do. But you have also removed 2 credible sources, so this is now disruptive editing. I have a feeling that you are the same Pakasteni UPE that nominated this page for deletion, using a 2nd account. I have reported you for Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Benjamin_Gordon_(businessman) investigation. You only have one year edit history and appear to have WP:SPA account.Martinvince (talk) 21:51, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wow...Ok. ;) Kolma8 (talk) 22:16, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just the fact that you would spend so much time into this and have been arguing so hard in support of deletion, it makes it obvious that you have COI and vendetta to get this page deleted. You may be a sockpupepet of the Troll and Nominator, same Pakastani UPE guy. If so, I know your real identity and will not disclose due to Wiki policy. As I said I am a paid editor, but have not made any edits to the page that have remained, so it doesn't matter. I have also not VOTED on this page due to COI, but I am allowed to post comments. And it is total BS that I have many common edits with the other editor. Please show me one? If he is paid I have no idea, because I am only speaking on my own behalf. BTW, it is possible to acquire images by contacting the subject and it is not against Wiki. I looked into it. This is not proof that they are paid.
Let's get back to the subject and if you have any personal attacks post on my TALK page. I ask you do not post anything here anymore. You have already been reported. Here is why the page should not be deleted:
1- NY Times – Major publication, in-depth coverage
2- Bloomberg Major publication, in-depth coverage
3- HARVARD Award from Harvard Business School, Passing mention, but shows notability and passes criteria for WP:ANYBIO
4- Yahoo Finance Major publication, in depth coverage

@Martinvince - I have not personally attacked you and already commented on the non-notability the sources above. So, I am not sure what is the reason to post them again. BTW this is the most bizarre deletion discussion with three of you thinking that someone is plotting against you, but yet failing to understand that Wikipedia has specific criteria for articles... But please always work hard for what you believe is right thing to do (or for what you were paid to do in your case). And actually to make it personal for you: If you know my identity come and stop by at my house (hint: it is in Germany; the same where is my IP address will bring) and we can drink a beer.

  • Delete The article is full of sources that are either written by Gordon or are about something else that namechecks him in a trivial passing manner, such as the this WJS source about trucking services that briefly mentions a quote from him. That's just not enough to write a neutral and unbiased article. In order to forestall a few other arguments:
  • I saw the debate listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Old/Open AfDs which means it is ready to be closed by an administrator. While I am such an administrator and have indeed closed hundreds if not thousands of AfD debates, I felt it was better to state an opinion to help cement a consensus.
  • I don't particularly care about who wrote the article or why, all I care about is if a neutral and independent editor can clean the article up into a respectable state, and my view is that it is impossible.
  • As you can see from my contributions, I have been around for about 15 years, with much of the activity over the past 8. You can see a list of my good articles here and a list of my did you know nominations here in case you are worried I might be a single purpose account.

These two places are in fact the same spot, on different generations of topos. To help confuse matters further. the road is named "Rock Crest Camp Rd.", and there are some references to the area by that name; on top of that, this spot is unrelated to the Rock Creek located elsewhere in the county. The big problem is working out what it is, as I can find nothing at that describes it. The topos show a tight cluster of buildings, which is consistent with GMaps, showing two rows of mostly identical cabins, with sheds/garages, in two rows. The obvious interpretation of this is that they are tourist cabins, and that the whole thing is a camp of some sort. But usually there is some business/organization connected, and I just can't find it. At any rate, the evidence as it stands is against this being a little town.

  • Comment - This sheet of community announcements from 1983 (click to read the OCR) describes people moving to Rock Crest and living there. This article describes children being bussed to the Injun Jim school who lived in Rock Crest. Better sourcing is needed but Rock Crest seems to have been inhabited at least at that point (i.e., 1950s-1990s based on the newspaper.com hits). I'd lean towards Rock Crest being a very little populated community based simply on the school-bussing coverage. However there's no evidence of legal recognition so that throws it to WP:GNG per WP:GEOLAND and it's hard to see it passing that. Rock Creek Camp on the other hand turns up nothing and I'm OK with that being deleted.FOARP (talk) 22:03, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. No post office. Not in Gudde. Searching Newspapers.com for ' "Rock Crest" Plumas" does find a number of trivial hits like [27]. Here's a clip that suggests that Rock Crest was a power utility (PG&E) camp: [28]. It looks like PG&E runs the water system there: [29]. Having a water system is not sufficient for legal recognition, in California many water systems are operated by towns/cities/villages or corporations. My best guess is that Rock Creek was/is a PG&E camp. As it is not legally recognized and there is no non-notable coverage, it does not meet WP:GEOLAND and should be deleted.

per WP:NFF Non-notable future film, does not have significant coverage by secondary sources (not blogs, commercial websites or databases), would probably be best in draft space until it is released and receives typical moderate coverage that direct-to-DVD videos receive BOVINEBOY2008 02:19, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GNIS has this on the wrong corner but it hardly matters. There's nothing on the correct corner anymore, and the only aerial that shows anything there has a small lot with what looks like small orchard, and maybe a tiny house. Maybe. At any rate GHits are all clickbait and the only "good" GBook hits refer to it as an intersection. Mangoe (talk) 01:28, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I left this out of the run of ex-SP ex-sidings because it's not completely out in the desert. In fact it marks the northern corner of the Imperial Wildilfe Area, but don't be fooled by the gray dot on the map of the area: there's nothing there except a set of block signals. Topos show it as a siding, of course, and some show a string of buildings alongside, which I am skeptical about, but in any case there's the usual lack of any other evidence for a town.

I wasted a great deal of time trying to fathom the mess that is the article(s) on the railroad this is on, but I needn't have bothered: 1950s topos call the spot "Wilsie siding".

Speedy tag blanked by SPA, so bringing this here. Highly promotional article about a non-notable individual; sources are either SEO Spam (ONN, Extravagant), non-independent (lots of mere links to websites of NGOs he has worked with), unreliable (Instagram, company bio pages), or don't mention him at all (aforementioned links, Manchester Evening News, the Reading Chronicle). Ideally speedy delete as a case of WP:G11. Blablubbs|talk 00:17, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Promotional article that fails all points in WP:GNG. The references are horribly formatted, and don't even talk about the subject of the article. Incredibly suspicious of self-publishing, as there is random personal information in this article and the creator of this article has edited only this article and no other. The article is poorly written and shows no sign of any notability, and not to be rude, but I have never seen a digital operator with their own Wikipedia article. Coreykai (talk) 00:37, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete through AFD rather than speedy, to make it clear that identical content can be {{db-repost}}ed on sight in the future. Speedy deletion requires that all good-faith non-author editors who see the template don't remove it, which may not happen if this content is re-posted after a G11 deletion.
Also recommend opening a formal (possibly pro-forma) WP:SPA (correction: WP:SPI, davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 18:10, 13 December 2020 (UTC)) for the two meat/sockpuppets so returning confirmed socks can be easily tagged, bagged, and their creations {{db-banned}}.[reply]
Delete basically "per nom," per "likely not notable, but we can decide that later if and when a good-faith editor made a draft and finds good sources," and per off-wiki/Uncyclopedia evidence of bad-faith/promo editing by two accounts that created this. Even if this topic does turn out to be notable, it's clear this is not the basis for an acceptable article.
Bottom line: If its not notable, delete, if it is, WP:Blow it up and start over with a fresh draft by non-COI editors that goes through an approval process (or, hypothetically, is so obviously notable and neutrally-written that nobody will mind if the author moves it into main-space). davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 15:54, 13 December 2020 (UTC) (SPI recommendation struck, it's being handled. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 18:10, 13 December 2020 (UTC))[reply]

  • Delete The subject is the creator of the Ethereum Name Service (ENS). There is currently a draft for ENS which was submitted and then declined due to a lack of reliable sources. Even if an article for the Ethereum Name Service is ever accepted, it is unlikely that its creator will himself be notable unless by some other means. As for the interview about the Y2K bug, there is no evidence that his solution was significant in solving the problem, especially as he never actually released his proposed solution so far as I can tell.―NK1406 talkcontribs 00:18, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • In your original request for deletion, you said "Original version was sourced to Medium, Reddit, crypto blogs." In fact, this article doesn't cite Medium, Reddit, or crypto blogs. You wrote: "Declined PROD, but without any remedy to the problems." But in fact the problems you cited didn't exist. Re whether Nick Johnson is notable enough to have an article, being the creator of an open source protocol that is well-known and respected in his industry makes him notable. He has also been listed as one of the most influential people in the Ethereum ecosystem. Bcmillegan (talk) 00:58, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • The original version of the article did, but not the version at the time of the PROD. This should be clear from me saying that I was talking about the original version - that is, this was never a well-sourced article. The problem is that it's ill-sourced and not up to any notability standard, let alone BLP rules. Do you have sufficient sources for your article to demonstrate notability? - David Gerard (talk) 14:22, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to the other title, which I believe in this case just means deleting and redirecting. For those of you not up on the scoop, the organisation which oversaw Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 handed Ligue 2 over to the amateur federation which oversaw tier 3 and below for this season at least, probably because of the pandemic.
