Weak KeepRedirect to Temescal, Oakland, California. Being a post office is a legal recognition, which fulfills WP:GEOLAND #1. (I know others don't agree.) Alden Post Office was named after Solomon E. Alden, who owned a bunch of Temescal, Oakland, California. Alden Farm was located south of this location. Cxbrx (talk) 14:26, 12 October 2020 (UTC)- Comment. This post office directory indicates that Alden was a station (i.e. a subsidiary) of the Oakland post office. At the time there were more than a dozen stations, substations, and contract stations, all serving Oakland. So it's not necessarily correct to make the assumption that if there is a post office named X, there must be a community named X. For this and other reasons, a post office is not a reliable indicator of a community. Glendoremus (talk) 17:48, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
- I'm changing my opinion to redirect to Temescal, Oakland, California. I agree that this location is not very notable, but as it had a post office, it is worth preserving. Deleting the article means that the article might get recreated some time in the future. Doing a redirect is a much better idea. There is a map that says "The Town of Alden". I believe that the GNIS location of the Alden post office is incorrect in that the Alden post office was never located in the Montclair district. The Alden post office was located in Temescal at 49th and Telegraph and renamed to Station E. Station E eventually moved to Montclair. Here's the evidence: A 1908 source documents the name change from Alden to Station E. A 1916 source states that Station E was at 49th and Telegraph for 30 years. In 1908, the Montclair District was basically a wilderness, according Montclair, Oakland, California it was not settled until the 1920s. Here's a 1878 map that shows the Alden tract being in what is now Temescal. A 1899 Oakland Map shows not much out in the Montclair, Oakland, California area. Also, there is an Alden Library located in Temescal that is on the National Register of Historic Places. I'll see about updating the Temescal article. BTW - I think it is really helpful that we are going through these geography articles and deleting or redirecting them. Clearly there are a bunch of articles that are trivial.

Another railroad facility mistakenly identified as a community. Durham calls it a locality on the Western Pacific RR. No evidence that it was ever a community. Most notable thing about it is that they misspelled the name of the man they were supposed to be honoring, Hansen Sorensen. Otherwise nothing much to say about it. Not notable.

- It has to do nothing with this, that's why he's not covered by the political SNG even though he works in government, though it is the most applicable SNG. SportingFlyer T·C 14:24, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- There is a lot international and domestic coverage of him related to Covid. There is significant coverage related to his testimony. I've provided multiple independent sources here and there are others in the article. I'm not going to claim the coverage is in great depth, but it is beyond trivial and thus enough per WP:N. Hobit (talk) 23:26, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- Being mentioned in articles doesn't get you past WP:GNG. Bailey is barely mentioned in the articles about testimony (though I can't read the NY Times one, he's nowhere near the headline) and the security adviser infected with COVID articles are all very brief and just states that someone who works in the White House has been hospitalised with COVID-19 and are all very brief blurbs which don't go into any detail of him at all. While his testimony was printed in one of the articles, no true significant coverage of him seems to exist, which is what we need, especially since he's a WP:BLP. SportingFlyer T·C 16:59, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- I continue to think that WP:N doesn't require people or things or anything else to be covered in some broader context--just that they be covered. There are literally dozens of newspapers across the world that covered his being hospitalized with Covid. That would probably be a BLP1E thing other than he's seen non-trivial coverage for his actions and testimony with respect to a federal whistleblower. I get we won't agree here, but I don't see an argument that articles, even short ones, could be considered "trivial" coverage. And if it's more than trivial, it's good enough for WP:N (as written). Hobit (talk) 21:54, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- I completely disagree - we require significant coverage per WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV, and none of the sources currently in the article give him more than a trivial mention. Furthermore, he's not really a public figure, as evidenced by the fact he's referred to by his job title instead of his name in the very short blurb of an article about him getting COVID-19, and WP:NPF requires high quality secondary sources. Furthermore we frequently delete articles where the topic has been covered but not significantly - the sports rule is that match reports do not give a player significant coverage, just as "transactional" reports of "another person who works in the White House" has COVID shouldn't give this bloke notability. Also note I'm not arguing WP:BLP1E, I'm arguing he's just not notable at all on triviality and WP:NOTNEWS grounds. SportingFlyer T·C 10:13, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- I think we understand each other. I don't think an article, even one of just a few paragraphs, solely about a subject can be said to be trivial coverage of that subject. You disagree. I believe my views are more inline with the examples given in WP:N, but I fully acknowledge that things like "trivial" and "significant" are by definition opinions and that our opinions are different. I think you have a reasonable view, just not one I agree with. We'll see where consensus lies and move forward from there. Hobit (talk) 16:48, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- SportingFlyer, some people argue an individual shouldn't have a standalone article is missing the mundane milepoints of their life, like where they were born, where they studied, whether they were married, or had children. While those details should be included, if they are known, they are not what make them notable. What makes them notable is what they have done, what they have said, and what RS have said about their actions and statements. After Bailey's in-camera testimony before the House Oversight Committee Elijah Cummings, the chair, was highly critical of the White House's stonewalling. Every time Cummings criticized "The White House", he was really criticizing Bailey.
- The perfect example of a notable individual, known solely for what he wrote, is false Geber. He was an author from before the days of moveable type. Each book had to be copied, by hand, by a skilled scribe. As an unknown he realized his new work would be much more likely to be copied if he claimed it was a forgotten work by someone already famous. So he claimed his work was written by a famous Arabic genius. The result is we know nothing about him, not his age, or nationality, or occupation, or religion. Nothing. Nothing except he was the first person to describe a major advance in chemistry. Yet no one would challenge whether he merits a standalone article. Please remember this example anytime you argue an individual's standalone article should be deleted because it is missing the mundane details of their life.

- SportingFlyer, when you want to read an article from the NYTimes, and many other newspapers that put their articles behind a paywall, when you have exceeded their limit of free articles, you should use
archive.org
. Then place the url of the article you can't read in the to be archived box. All nytimes articles, except some of those where they merely republished something from AP or Reuters, will be available for you to read this way. - The head of the White House security office is critically ill with Covid-19
- White House Whistle-Blower Did the Unexpected: She Returned to Work
- Geo Swan (talk) 21:35, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the article links, but you're putting words in my mouth. I am not arguing the article should be deleted because it is lacking mundane details. I am arguing it should be deleted because he wasn't notable, he got sick with COVID-19, and he got a smattering of routine press coverage which basically said "white house official gets sick." His name gets mentioned a brief three times in the whistleblower article and only mentions him as the whistleblower's supervisor. If you look closely at how he gets mentioned in the articles before the sickness was reported, it's a fairly clear WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTNEWS fail, since no previous coverage is significant in the slightest. None of the keep !votes discuss the fact the articles only relate his testimony or just mention the fact he worked at the white house. I'm willing to reconsider if more coverage can be shown. SportingFlyer T·C 22:29, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Please don't assert BLP1E when it has already been made clear he plays a role in TWO EVENTS.
I do my best to respond to what I think people meant, even if the surface meaning of what they said is more open to criticism. Honestly, you seemed to be claiming there wasn't enough coverage of the mundane details of his life.
The New York Times entitled an article about him. So, they considered him to be pretty notable. If they had access to those mundane details of his life, they would have included it.
You seem to have overlooked Elijah Cummings criticism of Bailey, which I regard as highly significant. Geo Swan (talk) 06:30, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

- Weak Keep per Lightburst. As someone who only knew him from his COVID hospitalization, I initially thought this would be a slam-dunk delete as BLP1E, but there was actually quite a lot of coverage of him before his infection, between his ATDC role, his White House role, his Whistleblower stuff, etc. Feoffer (talk) 02:52, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Press reports quote White House insiders who said Bailey was "gravely ill". Was Bailey merely as notable as his colleagues Carl Kline and Tricia Newbold? No. His colleagues Kline and Newbold played the same central role in giving Jared Kushner clearance to work out of the White House, even though his debts and foreign entanglements disqualified him, but, in addition he is "gravely ill" from Covid 19. In this particular case "gravely ill" means he is expected to die, if it does not mean it is already too late, and he is being maintained on life support. Geo Swan (talk) 21:19, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Let's take a look at the sources.
- Enjeti, Saagar (2019-07-18). "EXCLUSIVE: Career officials rebut claims of White House interference in security clearance process". The Hill. Four sentences, all related to Bailey's testimony to the Senate. Only mentions that he's a "career White House security official." All other mentions of him in the article relate directly to his testimony. Not SIGCOV.
- Strickler, Laura; Dilanian, Ken; Alexander, Peter (25 January 2019). "Officials rejected Kushner for top secret clearance, were overruled". NBC News. Bailey's name does not even appear in this article.
- Rogers, Katie (2019-04-01). "White House whistle-blower did the unexpected: She returned to work". The New York Times. His name appears three times in this article, which clearly isn't about him at all:
The office’s new director, Crede Bailey, said at the time that Ms. Newbold had refused to “support new procedures your supervisor implemented.”
The Republican members also pointed out that she had positive things to say about Mr. Bailey, her current supervisor. Mr. Passman said Mr. Bailey’s two-week suspension of Ms. Newbold was “unwarranted,” but added that “he’s not personally attacking her like Kline did.”
None of that is significant coverage of Bailey, it just mentions his role in an event. - Strickler, Laura; Alexander, Peter (2019-02-01). "'Whistleblower' in White House security clearance office is suspended". NBC News.
Security office chief Crede Bailey first proposed the suspension on Dec. 3, 2018. Wednesday's notice is signed by Bailey and mentions that in Newbold's 18-year career she has not faced any "prior formal disciplinary action."
These are the only mentions of Bailey in the article. Clearly not SIGCOV. - Jacobs, Jennifer (October 7, 2020). "White House Security Official Contracted Covid-19 in September". Bloomberg News. This is technically about him, but it's four sentences and includes the phrase
A career federal employee who has seldom appeared in the news
, and does not go into any further detail about him other than he's the security official and is gravely ill. He is not being reported on because he is worthy of notability, but rather because he works at the white house and got sick. This is the political equivalent of a sports transaction article. Not sigcov. - Haberman, Maggie; Cooper, Helene (2020-10-08). "The head of the White House security office is critically ill with Covid-19". The New York Times. The article is directly about him, but not only is the article short, his name only appears twice and only describes his duties in the white house and then mentions his case in relation to another outbreak. Not SIGCOV.
- Gregorian, Dareh (2010-10-08). "Head of White House security office tests positive for coronavirus". NBC News. Four sentences long, his name only appears once:
The official, Crede Bailey, who heads the office that handles credentials for access to the White House, adds to a lengthy list of White House officials who have tested positive for the coronavirus in the past week.
Clearly not SIGCOV.
There's lots of routine reporting of the fact he's gravely ill in the similar vein to the Bloomberg article, and I found translations in several languages, but none of the articles say anything other than "White house staffer very sick with COVID." The government documents presented above are primary and don't count. Based on the available sources and with respect to WP:BLP requiring detailed secondary sources for living people, especially private individuals, and WP:NOTNEWS standing for the premise Wikipedia is not a place to post articles which fleet their way through the news cycle as Mr. Bailey's illness did, it's clear Mr. Bailey is not yet notable. SportingFlyer T·C 22:47, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Excuse me, but the flaw in your argument is your description that the reporting that Bailey is "gravely ill" is "routine". I think if I were to challenge you to find reporting of White House officials' routine illnesses you would find you were not able to do so. Reporters are rarely going to report on a routine illness. A fluff piece, on a celebrity, might mention the celebrity was grumpy from trying to quit smoking, or that quitting smoking had given them the sniffles, or a cough. That would be trivial, but it would be in only one article. However, as you yourself noted, LOTS of RS were reporting Bailey was "gravely ill".
- For "Bailey is gravely ill" read "Bailey is not expected to survive", or possibly "Bailey is on life support, and his family have agreed to not pull the plug until voting is over."
- Hundreds of individuals must work in the White House, maybe one hundred in the West Wing alone. With that many employees there are going to be the occasional deaths. I looked for reporting on those deaths, and didn't find any recent ones. The last I can remember is that of Vince Foster, which I think erodes your position. Why aren't those deaths ever reported nationally, internationally, while Bailey's imminent death has got LOTS of reporting? Because RS think his illness is significant, not, as you asserted, "routine".
- I haven't seen any RS authors who are prepared to risk looking ghoulish, by speaking of how damaging it would be for the Trump campaign if a relatively senior White House official died of the Virus that the POTUS routinely claimed was not that dangerous, and, for which, he routinely ignored precautions.
- The large number of RS that report he is gravely ill, and those that note the White House officials have been silent on his health status, mean his illness is itself significant, not "routine", as you assert. Geo Swan (talk) 08:14, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- The reporting is routine because there is not a single piece of coverage that goes into any in depth reporting of him. I would change my vote if there were a full feature story on him, but there's not! "Routine news" is news that would have been reported about anyone, a mad lib story - if anyone who works in the white house, regardless of whether they had received any coverage before, had fallen very ill with COVID, there would have been a news report. I hope he is recovering, that the reports as they stand clearly do not make him permanently wiki-notable, ESPECIALLY considering we have to balance the fact he's otherwise a private WP:BLP, and because there's been no continuing coverage. SportingFlyer T·C 11:21, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Position is far from satisfying WP:NPOL, and the coverage (such as there is) squarely falls within WP:BLP1E: it's only in the context of the subject contracting Covid. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 16:08, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oyi. #1 WP:POL doesn't apply. #2 WP:POL is not exclusionary--that is not meeting WP:POL isn't a reason to delete, even if it did apply. #3 There was coverage quite a bit before he got Covid. Hobit (talk) 01:49, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- As I've shown, he got mentioned before he got COVID, but he didn't get any significant coverage before the COVID-19 impact. Had he not gotten COVID we wouldn't delete him on WP:BLP1E grounds, we would have deleted him for being completely non-notable. SportingFlyer T·C 11:02, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- The point is that he had coverage in multiple independent sources before this for testifying to the US congress in a whistleblower case. That, by itself, might not be enough to make him meet WP:N, but it certainly puts him outside of WP:BLP1E. Hobit (talk) 11:14, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- I strongly believe that you can't overcome WP:BLP1E for being briefly mentioned during another previous event. If I become famous for something tomorrow, the fact my name has been in the paper before shouldn't mean that WP:BLP1E doesn't apply. It shouldn't matter - there's clearly no SIGCOV here regardless - but there is a very good argument WP:BLP1E could apply. SportingFlyer T·C 11:25, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- SportingFlyer do you remember Chesley Sullenberger - Captain Sully? Someone created an article about him, following the heroic performance of Sully (and the rest of his team - he routinely credits them too)
- Well, after the article was started multiple well intentioned individuals tried to delete or redirect that article on BLP1E grounds. I know, it seems hard to believe, now, but that is what the record shows.
- When you did a web search on his name you got a firehose of hits fixated on the heroic landing earlier that day. It took all my web-search-fu to confirm my intuition that there would be hits in there, from his web presence prior to the landing, that confirmed he was not a BLP1E.
- We have some special purpose notability guidelines, like NPOL you mentioned, that supercede GNG. But well over 99 percent of our biographical articles are about individuals whose notability was not established by one factor, like holding a National office. Well over 99 percent of the individuals we cover in standalone article require a calculation of the notability factors from multiple events before they measure up to our notability criteria. So, yes, of course playing a role in a previous event makes BLP1E a moot point.
- If you really mean to challenge the significance of Bailey's role in breaking the White House rules over giving Jared Kushner clearance, then I think you need to do yet another web search:

- While Carl Kline was a horrible bully to Tricia Newbold, it was Bailey who recommended disciplining Newbold, with a 2 week suspension, without pay.
- Bailey would later justify that discipline by criticizing Newbold for paying more attention to the written guidelines than she did to the verbal instructions of her direct supervisor. Newbold's position, if I understood it correctly, was that she wasn't challenging whether her supervisor had the authority to instruct her to ignore the written guidelines, or to draft new guidelines. She argued, however, that those revised instructions had to be in writing. If she were to follow verbal instructions to flout the guidelines, and a new administration was to initiate an inquiry into how Kushner received a clearance, she would be the fall guy. The written record would show she authorized the clearance, and she would have no way of showing she received verbal instructions to do so.
- Bailey asserted she lacked varied experience to understand she should follow verbal instructions, and not insist on a paper trail.
- After Newbold testified before the House Oversight Committee it subpoenaed Bailey. After Bailey's testimony Elijah Cummings was extremely critical of "The White House" for its lack of a paper trail justifying Kushner's clearance. He said they hadn't supplied one page of documentation justifying waiving the rules to give him clearance. Okay, for "The White House" read Crede Bailey, as he was the White House official who testified, the one who should have brought the documents to justify the decision.
Newbold had wanted her department to write a memo explaining why the rules were waived for Kushner, her superiors didn't do that, Bailey didn't do that, and Cummings criticized them for a lack of documentation of that decision. I see that as Cummings criticizing Bailey.
- The Hill quoted Bailey's assertion that the decision to offer Kushner clearance, even though he didn't meet the criteria for clearance, was not due to political pressure. Cummings didn't seem to find his assertions credible. Geo Swan (talk) 19:34, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- In that reply you've now written more on Bailey than any of the articles we've found so far, which is what we ultimately require for notability. It's clear you think what Bailey did was "significant," but as I keep saying and have demonstrated, the coverage of Bailey himself is clearly not significant. None of these articles cover Bailey significantly as a person. They say he testified and got sick and that's it. That's not significant coverage. Also, your Sullenberger anecdote is completely off point, but I will take the bait and say Sullenberger is notable only for one event, but his role in the event was fantastically notable, and he became a public figure as a result. SportingFlyer T·C 19:57, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - The sources provided are not convincing to me that this individual has done anything notable per WP:GNG. He played an extremely minor role in two notable events. The six short sentences about his role in the White House COVID outbreak and the Jared Kushner security clearance can easily be merged to White House COVID-19 outbreak and Jared Kushner. There is no need for a separate article on this individual that will never become anything more than a stub, because there is simply not much that can be said about him. ‑Scottywong| [talk] || 05:44, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Scottywong, you are a longtime contributor. Did you really mean to state you reached your conclusion on ‘’”The sources provided”’’? Longtime contributors know, or should know, that it is the underlying notability of an article’s topic that should be under evaluation at AFD - not the current state of the article. Geo Swan (talk) 18:06, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- I didn't intend to imply that "the article is short, therefore delete it." My point in mentioning the "six sentences" of the article is that I don't believe that much more could be written about this individual, because it doesn't appear that they have really done anything notable. The brief descriptions of this person's minor role in a notable event could easily be mentioned in the main article that covers the event. While there is some verifiable information in the media about this person, I simply don't see the need for a standalone article on him. ‑Scottywong| [chat] || 18:41, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- I do my best to respond to what my correspondents really mean, if that seems to differ from what they actually said. So, you didn't mean to imply to less experienced contributors that it was okay for them to base their notabiliy conclusions solely on the current state of articles? Great! If that is what you meant above thanks for clarifying that!

- With regard to "six sentences", The head of the White House security office is critically ill with Covid-19 is 8 paragraphs long, and the first four paragraphs talk about Bailey. In addition, the article's very headline refers to Bailey - "The head of the White House security office." Geo Swan (talk) 19:48, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for that source. While his name is clearly mentioned twice in that NYT article, and they even give a very brief description of his job, I can't see this article (or any other, for that matter) being used as the basis for a biographical article on this individual. This source verifies two basic facts: he caught COVID-19, and he's the head of the White House security office. That doesn't qualify as WP:SIGCOV in my book. So far, the only claims of notability I've heard about this person is that he caught COVID-19, and he was the supervisor of the person that approved Jared Kushner's security clearance. I just don't see how that turns into a standalone biographical article. Again, this is all great, verifiable information for Jared Kushner#His security clearance and White House COVID-19 outbreak. ‑Scottywong| [babble] || 20:43, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

The result was delete. No sources showing significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources were put forward. Scope creep's analysis of sources seems to confirm that none of the current sources provide significant coverage. While there are some editors who believe this individual is notable, that belief needs to be backed up by sources to establish that notability. ‑Scottywong| [spout] || 16:02, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

"Today we informed all law enforcement agencies where Bakhmatyuk is. We have officially announced three times today, as of now, the Anti-Corruption Court, where Mr. Bakhmatyuk is and what way to communicate with him is possible… There are no grounds for any search for Mr. Bakhmatyuk. "What information that has been repeatedly reported on the Slovo i Dilo portal ... is fake," Shevchuk said

- Keep there is really a problem with great links, however it concerns all Ukrainian lawyers and MP's. If to dig deep enough, half of the Ukrainian members of parliament are not verifiable and so on. My point is not to justify some other problems and I know it's not an argument (so please, don't bite me :) But it is a common problem, not just in this case. So, it can be helpful to focus on general notability of the person, which is easily seen even from this article. I think the article at least should be expanded as its Ukraininan corresponding version is much larger and it can help to help with Significant coverage. --Synhuliak (talk) 18:33, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

All his biographical info comes from professional directory or licensing listings, which can be self-submitted. His cases with his firm got coverage, and his shows have YouTube links (but oddly not media coverage), but I'd like to see a single profile of him in any media source. Otherwise this is a delete.

- Keep - to suggest that the top Ecuadorian league isn't fully professional is laughable. It's not listed on WP:FPL because of a lack of sources - but simply common sense says that teams in a relatively wealthy country in front of tens of thousands of people are fully-professional. No one has ever found any sources saying they aren't fully-professional either!

- Keep or merge to 1976 Tangshan earthquake: I agree that Wikipedia is not a directory and shouldn’t include every minor earthquake. Even though this isn’t a major earthquake with casualties, this is a bit more than a minor earthquake.There is enough significant coverage from independent reliable sources for this earthquake to overwhelmingly pass WP:GNG. There's a lot of in-depth local and national coverage (e.g. Xinhua), but more importantly there is also substantial international coverage including: South China Morning Post (link), CNA (link), Associated Press (link), Fox News (link), Hindustan Times (link). The SCMP article, for instance, goes into more than just routine coverage and describes its structural damage, its geological and cultural link to the massive 1976 Tangshan earthquake, and its temporary effects on infrastructure.If one looks at WP:EVENTCRITERIA, this passes GNG by a mile, is more than just a routine event, and is also likely to continue to have a lasting effect not least due to the geological significance of the fault. — MarkH21talk 08:18, 24 September 2020 (UTC); added merge option per my follow-up comment 20:48, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

- By the way, if the article is not kept, merging this article to Aftermath of 1976 Tangshan earthquake is a viable alternative to deletion. Many of the articles describe this as geologically related to the 1976 earthquake. Its cultural significance is largely in its geographic coincidence with the 1976 earthquake. — MarkH21talk 04:56, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

This article was entirely unsourced for fourteen years and sounds like an autobiography written in third-person. Recently he's been arrested for possession of child porn and now he's on local news in the United States, but that begs the question, does this make him notable? I would argue no; before he was a scientist with no claim of notability, now he's a scientist and criminal with no claim of notability. A majority of the article pertaining to who he is and what he has done remains unsourced and he has less than 10,000 subscribers on YouTube. Definitely not a notable person in my opinion.

- Comment. I have not yet looked at the article to evaluate its notability. But in general, an arrest for child porn should stay out of the article; it's only once he's convicted (if he is) that we should cover it. I could point you to a previous example of a notable academic with the same issue, where despite newspaper coverage of the child porn arrest we kept it out of the article, but I won't because it might be considered a WP:BLP violation just to name names here. So in any case, what we need to evaluate is the notability that was present before this event. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:19, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

- Comment The coverage of his more recent (YouTube-era) career is pretty spotty; this is about the best I could find, and I'd hardly call that in-depth. But he did get in the news for criticizing the FCAT standardized test, and there are some older stories about his doing "Mr. Electricity" shows. XOR'easter (talk) 05:05, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
He was just arrested for child porn. So he may be an example that helps prevent these crimes in the future. I’d leave the article and add a section for the arrest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:196:4800:a010:d950:691e:84f9:ef61 (talk • contribs)

- Addendum His trial is scheduled for December [13]. Per David Eppstein's comment, I don't think WP:BLP permits our writing about it until it is concluded, nor is there a pressing need to do so. (The stories of his career are from twenty years or more ago; on the one hand, notability is not temporary, but on the other, he hardly seems to be a high-profile individual at this point.) I trimmed the article way back to a two-sentence stub supported by the older news stories linked above, so the text is no longer adulatory, and the autobiography concerns mentioned in the nomination are no longer operative.

- Delete right now the aticle is a puff piece that covers up Mr. Krampf's alleged crimes. However to mention the alleged crimes will turn it into an attack article. The sourcing is low quality human interest stories often of the local event variety. The sourcing does not justify an article, and we cannot avoid mentioning the criminal accusations, but they themselves are not really notable, so there is no need for this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:00, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
- The fact that there is a refusal to allow any contents about his arrest makes me think having this article is highly questionable since people want it to just be a hagiography.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:41, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
Relisting comment: Was this person notable prior to their arrest? More discussion is needed on that than on the inclusion/exclusion of the arrest (for which BLP policy and normal procedures is quite clear).

- Weak keep, in absence of any request from the subject. The coverage in the LA Times is a fairly profile of the subject. I didn't manage to view the coverage in the Sun-Sentinel, but I did see ongoing coverage about his activism concerning the FCAT. I think it's weakly enough to meet GNG. I'll remark that pre-trial notability is marginal enough that I would certainly support a WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE; under the circumstances, there's a moderate chance that one will come.

It exists, but there is very little little in-depth coverage uncovered in a WP:BEFORE search. Current sourcing is 2 primary sources, a government hearing transcript, and a short article in an industry publication which might be part of a pr campaign. Onel5969 TT me 16:12, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- I am the author of this article. I understand that there is minimal information in the article at present, but it is a starting point and with the passage of time I hope other edits are made to beef up the article. I do not believe this article merits deletion. I have no association, personally, with the Coalition but it has played a pivotal role, historically, in lobbying and advocating for the interests of individuals in domain name system policy. Its staff have testified before the US Congress, among other bodies, and its staff have also been quoted in respected publications like the New York Times.[1] And it is not a public facing organization, so it does not need/desire to engage in PR campaigns. I believe it is important to document on Wikipedia the different organizations, no matter how invisible they may sometimes be to the public, that are shaping public policy if they have resources and influence.Ferdeline (talk) 16:29, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

This list violates our WP:BLP policy. It is a list of a single, potentially deprecatory attribute of a large number of (mostly, but not exclusively) non-WP:N persons such as junior military officers like majors and captains. Each person's inclusion is cited to a single, primary source. It has no encyclopedic value. Chetsford (talk) 17:20, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep in line with other similar articles. We are not accusing these people of crimes, we are just citing some official decisions here. Such sanctions are quite a notable event. P.S. Ideally, the article could be expanded from a list to a larger article. -- НСНУ (talk) 19:48, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- "We are not accusing these people of crimes, we are just citing some official decisions here." We don't have a "List of People Charged with 2nd Degree Vandalism in Canton, Ohio" even though we could cite such a list to court charging documents and other primary sources, just like this list. At least half of the individuals in this list are WP:NOTPUBLICFIGUREs and fall under our presumption in favor of privacy. Many of them are captains and majors with no articles and no possibility of getting an article under WP:N. And to omit the ones whose inclusion is a violation of BLP then makes this an incomplete and inaccurate list. Any mention of individuals under sanction should be in the relevant biography. Wikipedia is not in the business of maintaining "enemies of America" lists, which is what this is. Chetsford (talk) 03:12, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep This is a list of people who have been sanctioned as part of a notable current event. The article isn't accusing anyone of anything, it is merely presenting factual information about who has been sanctioned as part of the international response to the ongoing events in Belarus. Calling it an 'enemies of America list' is a fairly silly accusation considering the breadth of the international response. Arianna the First (talk) 10:12, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
- "This is a list of people who have been sanctioned as part of a notable current event. The article isn't accusing anyone of anything, it is merely presenting factual information about who has been sanctioned as part of the international response to the ongoing events in Belarus." I agree with all of the preceding recitation of facts. However, none of this is a policy-based argument for why it should be kept; it is, as noted, simply a recitation of observable facts about the article. Chetsford (talk) 22:42, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
- Quite frankly you're motivation for this request appears to be the POV that these sorts of lists are 'enemies of america' lists. The fact these sanctions have been levied is notable and a list is the best way to present that information. Further, your argument that people on this list aren't notable goes against WP:NNC that states "Notability guidelines do not apply to content within articles or lists". The fact these sanctions have been levied is notable and a list is the best way to present that information. blindlynx (talk) 10:45, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

- This article needs serious clean up not deletion. Given that it's based on a current event that's not surprising tough. Also it isn't an "enemies of America list" as the EU, UK and Canada have also levied sanctions. Not to mention Belarusians themselves have praised sanctions. Similarly to the list of sanctions levied during maidan it provides useful information about who is involved in current events from a international point of view. blindlynx (talk) 10:19, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Despite its current length, it is nowhere near complete and presumably is open-ended anyways. On the other hand, it will never be truly complete since most entries will not meet WP:LISTCRITERIA. The bottom line is that Wikipedia is not the right place for this kind of list. Projects like PhysicsTree offer a much better infrastructure for this kind of information (observe how awkward the current list handles co-advisors). If anything, the information contained in this list should be migrated to Wikidata using the doctoral advisor (P184) and doctoral student (P185) properties.

Also, See Template:Dynamic list, a dynamic list is by no means a reason to delete an article, though the template should be used.

This page looks more like an article of colonialism, the list is not simple and the "sources" are repetitive, instead of using several sources for each empire, they use almost the same source for all empires, which prevents the list from being collaborative, and so it does not correspond to the title "List of Largest Empires, I also read on the talk page", the list is not being discussed collaboratively, and the way it is, the list is static when using the same methods and theories for each empire, for this is no longer a free list, and therefore subject to being eliminated --(Klotes (talk) 18:25, 10 October 2020 (UTC))

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I am flagging this article as a potential candidate for deletion for several reasons.
First, I have not been able to locate any reliable sources that reference this "doctrine" independent from this article on Wikipedia. This also comports with my prior experience as a U.S. intellectual property lawyer. I have never heard of this "doctrine" and have been unable to locate any reliable sources that consider it to be an independent "doctrine" of law. A header requesting additional sources has been pending since 2008 as well, which is further evidence of a lack of reliable sources.
Second, I am also doubtful of the notability of this alleged "doctrine" for the reasons discussed above. The only sources I have seen discussing it are ones that circularly reference this page.
In closing, if others are able to locate reliable sources that support the existence of this "doctrine," I am happy to avoid deletion. But there are a LOT of important cases out there and not all of them are established "doctrines." Calling a particular a case a "doctrine," in my opinion, should be reserved for those rules of law that are long established, universally accepted, and blessed by at least an appellate court, if not the Supreme Court itself. I have not located any evidence that this is the case here.
Also, this article was written by a confirmed sockpuppet apparently, so I consider that also weighing in favor of deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DocFreeman24 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Initially declined as a draft by Number 57 for "...not yet shown to meet notability guidelines" and then accepted without improvement by a paid editor now blocked for deception. The article subject still does not qualify under either the WP:GNG or the applicable SNG WP:NFOOTY. Examining the sources in the article for the former shows that they do not meet all three prongs of significance, independence, and reliability. Most importantly, the sources that are significantly about this athlete are not independent (being mostly from his college team) and the independent ones are not significantly about the article subject or only mention him in passing. Turning to NFOOTY, they have not played in any competitive senior international match nor in any fully professional league. Their only applicable experience is with Philadelphia Fury, a team in the fourth version of the American Soccer League, which never achieved US Division 3 sanction and was instead sanctioned by the non-professional United States Adult Soccer Association. WP:BEFORE does not disclose any sources that would assist either notability guideline and no logical merger or redirect target exists. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:42, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

In addition to performing all over the country, both as a solo performer and with well-known bands, he has had essays published in nationally recognized journals.

Keep WP:BAND and WP:GNG are satisfied by significant coverage in several independent reliable sources, including a Simon & Schuster-published book, Connecticut Public Radio, Harvard Magazine, and various regional outlets. (Although Harvard Magazine is affiliated with the university, it is editorially independent, has a circulation of ~260,000 and is not akin to a college newspaper.) Cosgrove also meets WP:BAND standards as a prominent representative of landscape-oriented music, as evidenced by his media coverage and artist residencies. 2601:155:4280:F910:F148:62BF:DEF1:6107 (talk) 03:11, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- To correct a misstatement above, the book cited is not a Simon & Schuster publication. The editor apparently has mistaken the difference between being published by S&S with being a client of the company's distribution services [20]. The publisher is in fact, according to the book's frontispiece, licensed by a client independent publisher Cider Mill Press (click on "look" tab for verification.) [21] It is copyrighted to and licensed from Appleseed Press, which according to this company profile has a single employee [22], normally indicative of being the book's author's own self-publishing vanity press, shopped to and licensed by an Independent publisher. Such sources are not subject to editorial oversight and fail to meet significant source criteria per WP:USESPS. ShelbyMarion (talk) 21:15, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for flagging this - point taken. The "Publisher" listed on the S&S website, Cider Mill Press, does not appear to be in the self-publishing business and does appear to exercise editorial oversight. [23] Also, Appleseed Press is apparently the parent company of Cider Mill Press, not an entity associated with the book's author. [24] In any event, given that the book is one of several sources cited, I'm not sure it changes the analysis in the end. 2601:155:4280:F910:78C8:44F8:2873:35C1 (talk) 16:00, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

- Comments - I think that if somebody volunteers to trim this down to a stub, it could be saved, but right now, I can't bother to go through every Twitter reference and local newspaper account. I think this can be rescued, but someone more familiar with his genre of music needs to do it. I asked (Ping me) I shall be brutal. Bearian (talk) 20:32, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - I will try to be a Good Samaritan and help wrap this up after an entire month, but who knows if I am actually contributing to a clear consensus. In any case, I'm not buying the statement above that Cosgrove is a nationally-known musician, but he has been noticed by the specialty press in classical/avant garde music, and several local publications in New England that can be considered reliable, if not particularly significant. This may help him qualify for a basic stub article, though the previous commenter is correct on how the article needs to have a lot of extraneous info and unreliable sources removed.

- Merge and redirect. Per nom, even after finding a few refs to expand the article into a semi-passable state, I'm not sure there is enough to support GNG/SIGCOV. The only references available are trivial passing mentions, including in an interview with one of the participating sportspeople and generic lists of results. The latter, in particular, confirm that the events took place and what the outcomes were. But they do not establish any notability. At all. That NOT A SINGLE OUTLET (not local, national, online or otherwise) have even the shortest of write-ups on the final is particularly telling. In all honesty I wonder if all of the related articles (on the 2020, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 events) should simply be merged/redirected "back" to the "main" Cavan Senior Hurling Championship article.

- Comment. Not all senior county championships are the same. The Wexford competition for example is a competition that involves 12 teams, attracts significant crowds and coverage. Including write-ups in multiple national news outlets (Irish Times) (Irish Independent). The Cavan equivalent involved a handful of teams, and didn't attract any coverage. At all. Not in local news, not in national news. Nowhere. Notwithstanding the lack of anything to support GNG, I'm intrigued to hear such a seasoned editor make such an obviously OSE argument....

- A common selection criteria may apply to lists and list members. But the notability criteria is intended to be granular. And is applied as such. It does not apply the same notability to all members of a given group. ("This big company is notable, so all big companies are notable". "This variant of the Ford Falcon has an article, so all variants of the Ford Falcon should have articles". "This GAA competition is notable, so all similar GAA competitions are notable". Etc. That isn't really how it works....) Regardless, if "our readers expect there to be titles for every single year of every single competition, from 1884 though to infinity", then a redirect (as proposed) meets that requirement. Without the need for a near empty article that is supported by very very limited sources. Guliolopez (talk) 16:45, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Cavan Senior Hurling Championship per above, and the other years' articles that have been spun out should probably follow suit. There's a distinct lack of coverage, and even setting that aside from a purely editorial view - this article just isn't long or detailed enough to need a separate article, and there's little scope for expansion if there isn't reliable-source coverage to base it on. ~ mazca talk 12:58, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

- Delete unless some actual substantial independent coverage, in any language, can be found. By my best attempts to pick through the Chinese sources in zh:生達化學製藥, most of those sources are government websites confirming standards, a stock exchange listing, and several of them are just confirming the qualifications/awards won by the founder. None of them appear to be an actual piece about the company as a whole that would demonstrate notability under en-wiki's guidelines. I agree that this company kinda sounds like it should be notable, but I'm not seeing the sources to back it up. ~ mazca talk 12:52, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Keep- this is not similar to the prior AFD referred to (cannot say I am overly familiar with Saarland). I can only speak to Australia, but the topic of who is the nation’s leading goal scorer is the topic of significant media attention - and changes in the progression attract attention - as the references in that article show. Happy to link to various media on this if desirable but for mine this is notable in Australia at least and it wouldn’t surprise me if the same was true in many of the other lists nominated here, particularly England. Macosal (talk) 12:31, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
Keep. I can't speak for all of these national teams, but the national team's all-time leading goalscorer is a notable topic in the UK (England and Scotland in this case). There was loads of coverage when Wayne Rooney broke the England record [25] and, thinking further back, when Gary Lineker missed a penalty that would have equalled the record [26]. There hasn't been much coverage of the Scotland record recently because we've been rubbish and nobody's got near the record! But when Kenny Dalglish equalled Denis Law's record (30 goals) that was widely reported, and has been covered retrospectively as well. In fact, Dalglish has described the goal that equalled that record the favourite of his whole career in both club and international play [27]. WP:NTEMP.

The present version is considerably toned down from the promotional nonsense the article used to be filled with, but is still functionally just a press release.

- Keep These sources are publications of the highest quality and reputation. Because of vague and unsubstantiated criticism like the above, I initiated an ongoing RFC on the talk page to reach consensus on these matters, and the community seems to be generally of the opinion that the article is contentful, well-sourced and written in a fair and objective tone. I have taken it upon myself to work on this article, and am happy to put forth additional effort to address all actionable suggestions and complaints. (For the record, I have not stated that the article should not be subject to the guidelines of WP:GS/CRYPTO. Rather, I have said that the article should not be part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cryptocurrency, because the article has nothing to do with cryptocurrency, as per the description of that project.) -- Moontreasure (talk) 21:28, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

- Delete As per WP:ORGIND, references should contain significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references meets this criteria as the content is invariably sourced back to the company. There is no independent opinion with in-depth information on the company. Topic fails GNG/NCORP.

This article was kept in 2009, with three out of the four keep !votes being the same person, TRATTOOO. We have become better since then at distinguishing genuine independent sources from churnalism and PR, and we're now a lot more discerning about biographies based on sources which are largely about the one notable thing a person did. All the genuinely independent sources here are int he context of her participation in Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform. None of the sources about "Love Unleashes Life" was independent (e.g. the Amazon sales page, never a great idea). Overall I do not think this meets WP:GNG. Google finds 127 unique hits for "Stephanie Gray", mostly either unrelated or promotional, and only 16, including this article, for her married name. None of them is what I would consider sufficient to justify a standalone biography. Guy (help! - typo?) 17:32, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

I have restored the reliably sourced information back to the page. Stephanie Gray Connors has recently been married, and she is notable for her prolife work in Canada and the United States. She was notable earlier, and has added additional work over the years with her Ted Talk and the conference in Mexico, as well as the book she has written.

There are additional sources that can be cited to show this and I am happy to provide those sources. Amazon was simply the quickest way to do so. As for the Western Standard, that's going to have to be taken up elsewhere. Western Standard is a source for western Canadian politics. There are source references to MacLeans, and to the National Post within the article as well, so these are just two of the smaller sources. As for the rest, reliability has to do with the claims that are being made. It's appropriate for the earlier portion of her life that this appear in the more local paper the BC Catholic.

- Weak delete Half of these sources are completely unreliable and rely on original research. The other half are feasible but probably aren’t quite good enough to put her into general notability. Trillfendi (talk) 19:29, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Weak Keep The first eight references are very low-quality and useless, apart from one, The National Post. There is nothing really in-depth that I can pinpoint, but she shows up in a lot places, which is surprising and worrying. Perhaps due to her spreading the word which is perhaps indicative that is more the work, that is getting reported on, rather than on any inherent notability. scope_creepTalk 18:19, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
- Scope creep, yes, but always in connection with Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform. There are no substantive biographical sources - and every time content gets reinserted it's always from primary, affiliated and/or unreliable sources - e.g. gave a talk here, source, video of talk. With most grifters there is independent coverage (cf. Jacob Wohl). Here, not so much. Guy (help! - typo?) 21:09, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I did find this jstor entry [33]. There is several entries in JStor that are published in the The Iowa Review.

- I looked at the Iowa Review. In essence, it seems like readers/subscribers submit their poem to them and those selected gets published in it, not too unlike letter to the editor. However, being chosen as one of the few percent of Letters to the editor does not credit the submitter with a notability claim just on its own. It's a function of how many spots they have in mind to fill the upcoming issue vs how many items were submitted to them. Even if we were to attempt to go with the SNG, WP:ANYBIO's "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor", then, there better be a good source attesting to THAT award award as being generally well known AND significant . What I have in mind as someone passing notability to exist on Wikipedia simply by having an award is perhaps someone who has one of these awards. How it's looking now is there needs to be a reliable secondary source that is intellectually independent of the subject actually discussing in depth about the subject, or their piece that appeared in the Iowa Magazine. So far, there appears to be none of that. 10:42, 23 September 2020 (UTC) Signed by User:Graywalls Sig added by scope_creepTalk 09:07, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Graywalls: That second part of your argument is ill-informed. Every group, whether it is doctors, poets, artists, philosophers, business people, all professional group, sports people and so on, all have their in-group awards and honours and the fact that they are not famous doesn't make them less significant, within that group. They are awarded by that group to that person as they see them having done exceedingly significant work that benefits them. Doctors in particular are know for awards that are massively prestigious within their organisation and can take decades of work to achieve, yet they are barely known outside their particular specialism. Wikipedia as a collection only represents only a fraction of these types of awards and honours. scope_creepTalk 12:23, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

I had added a PROD to this due to it's apparent lack of notability. Which was removed because "doing anything to university articles is controversial" or something. So, now I'm doing an AfD for it. What it comes down to for me is that this lacks multiple in-depth reliable sources about it, at least I was unable to find any when I looked for them, and universities are not inherently notable. With the current sourcing, one reference is primary and the other is extremely trivial. So, the article doesn't pass either WP:GNG or WP:NORG. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:59, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Would you call the the third one that's a essentially a long winded diatribe by the president of the university on fermentation a "good quality" article that's about "the university"? Or how about the forth source that's an extremely short paragraph about how the president left? How is that "good-quality" exactly? Or maybe your talking about the six source that's about 3 fisherman getting kidnaped and has absolutely nothing to do with the university? It's almost like you didn't even bother to look at the sources before you voted. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:22, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- I think that "A new incubator for technologies at the University of Boumerdes" is particularly good; it's an article about progress that the university is making. I think that "The strike of Boumerdes University students continues" is also good; it's a news event that's specific to the university.

Nor is it likely that you even think your comment did make me angry. Mostly, it's just more of the usual goading that you seem incapable of keeping in check for some reason. That said, it does get a little time consuming and disruptive/unfair to the process if people post "bad" sources that have to be called out and if people vote keep (or even delete) based on them.

- Anyway, I completely stand my comment that your source is trivial. Just taking a random quote out of it proves as much "the university maintains a range of high-quality academic facilities. These include an intensive language centre, library, audio-visual centre, and a dedicated facility for distance learning and off-site study." What's not trivial about the school having academic facilities and a library? Literally every school does. Especially "academic facilities." It's literally what a school is. That kind of thing is extremely WP:MILL. The article might as well be about how they have walls, a floor, and air in the rooms. Trying to have an article about a schools walls would be is more "anti-intellectual dumbing-down" Wikipedia then anything I've done. Especially if there's no actual details. Cool they have a library, but what about it? Oh there's no other details about it? Exactly. It's just walls. That's it. --Adamant1 (talk) 17:37, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

- You would need to find reliable sources which say the film is MUCH further along in production than it seems to be. That's why I'm saying it's "Too soon". If and/or when the movie is well into being made, it will be notable, but so many films fall through (as with the one 20 years ago) that we simply don't create articles for them. - SummerPhDv2.0 17:21, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

- Comment The article claims as being "the highest bridge at 5602m, between Dras and Suru rivers".Looking at the terrain the top highest point is Junkor peak (5320m) within the radius of 30km of the joining of the two rivers. Also the rivers mentioned flow in the semi-opposite direction. Suru flows from south to north and Drass flows from west to east before joining the Suru. From the above it seems the ariticle is a big lie. MehrajMir (talk) 05:53, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- delete Besides all the other issues, it is not the "Baily Bridge": it is a Bailey bridge, but the picture that invariably is associated with the claims is of a suspension bridge.

- Delete I had a quick look at the source quoted - there is a copy of it on google books, though its only in preview mode. he seems to be mentioned only briefly, and nothing to substantiate him as a notable figure. This article needs more RS. Deathlibrarian (talk) 09:41, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Deathlibrarian , I have that book and yes, the section on him is short. I am checking out the book's source today and will post an update. There is a WP:HEY factor, though it may not be enough. Stay tuned, all. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 12:55, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Update on the research: Thanks for the patience in relisting. Now we know our subject enough to, I think, make an informed decision.
- We know that quote was legitimate, said by Many Horses AKA Rising Wolf, and that it was published first in an article by Hamlin Garland. The quote is quite a few places on the internet; it seems to have been picked up from the book that listed it as a source but its original source not referenced. We can all see how this is problematic, can't we?
- I don't see that there is enough here (in terms of notability, information, etc.) for the subject to have an article. However, in the interest of WP:PRESERVE and Wikipedia stepping up and making this quote and individual more verifiable, I suggest the information/sourcing metadata be incorporated into the article on the Ghost Dance and to Wikiquote. Yet I have never used Wikiquote; perhaps another user such as Toughpigs can say whether this is doable and a good move. Thanks, all! DiamondRemley39 (talk) 14:10, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Difficult to research. Others with similar names. Example Emil Her Many Horses is likely notable. Yet another different person, simply Her Many Horses, and also this source, "Emil Her Many Horses (Oglala Lakota) is a member of the Oglala Lakota tribe and an accomplished beadwork artist, winner of the 2001 Best of Show category for his tribute to the Lakota Sioux Vietnam Veterans at the Northern Plains Tribal ". from source, Conversations with Remarkable Native Americans - Page 23.

Doesn't seem very notable to me -- didn't find any GHITS for the cereal being discussed outside of manufacturer pages and product listings, and the one source (for the first sentence) is a link to the manufacturer's site.

- @Andrew Davidson: "Famous breakfast cereal" does not equal notability. Please provide sources or people are going to be very unlikely to take this !vote seriously. Hog Farm Bacon 14:22, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep or merge & redirect to Weetabix_Limited#Brands: I added a couple of sources about the origins of this product line and its market share, and removed some uncited strange stuff. There are other Marketing book texts which could be cited, and the one I added describes this as "the most successful non-American cereal product". That could point towards Keep; however the discussions of the brand tends to be in the context of a successful re-orientation by the Weetabix company, so I wonder if it may be better situated at the subheading in the company article? AllyD (talk) 14:35, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep While I haven't edited on Wikipedia in several years, I wrote this article originally more than 15 years ago as part of trying to make Wikipedia a comprehensive encyclopedia about the world. I created this article along with Cheerios and other major cereal brands; this cereal is not the same as Weetabix. It is a common muesli cereal product consumed in the Anglophone world. This article needs cleanup, not deletion. (Thanks for bringing me out of Wiki-retirement, by the way.) poroubalous (talk) 15:20, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Merge to Weetabix Limited#Alpen. Here's a paragraph devoted to an Alpen advertisement, in oddly enough, a book about the sexualization of culture. That, combined with the other stuff already in the article, is pretty weak. A good deal of the coverage I can turn up is product listings, recipes (including one from the 1970s involving rum!), and one old newspaper announcement that Alpen was part of a school supply list. Almost everything I can find is in relation to the manufacturer of this cereal, Weetabix. Since the Weetabix article includes a blank section for Alpen in its list of manufactured products, and the coverage that's been found is almost exclusively in connection with Weetabix, it makes the most sense to merge there.

- Nice to meet you Xxanthippe. As you can see above I tried quite hard to put up a good faith nomination and make it clear I'm not an AfD regular. I performed a google search but not a google scholar search as I figured the papers on google scholar would not be independent of the subject. Anyhow, now I'm somewhat wiser about the GNG. Happy to withdraw this nomination. --Tom (LT) (talk) 22:17, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, Tom (LT). AfD can be a strange place, and the regulars (like me) tend to throw around a lot of jargon, so it can take a little while to get the hang of what's going on. If you'd like to understand how deletion debates for scientists, professors, and people like that usually work, I'd recommend reading the "academics and educators" notability guideline and skimming the archive of them. In case you weren't familiar with Google Scholar, it's an imperfect-but-useful tool for finding academic papers and seeing who has cited them. People can create profiles on Google Scholar that list their publications; for example, here is the profile for David Eppstein, who commented above. Note that it lists the number of citations that each of his papers have received (2160, 918, 515, etc.). His papers are obviously not independent sources about him, since he wrote or co-wrote them, but the citation counts are evidence that his work has been influential. That's one way to be notable by "WP:PROF#C1", as we say. Unfortunately, it looks like Prof. Shalet hasn't made himself a Google Scholar profile, but the search still finds papers by him, and we can evaluate his record.

- Snow keep. Large number of highly cited papers, including plenty with the subject as first/last author, is an unambiguous pass of WP:NPROF C1. There's an indepth interview with him in the Endocrinologist [48] that could be used to expand the article. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:19, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, easy NSCHOLAR C1 pass with the citation count.--Eostrix (🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 14:06, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Another unremarkable hotel. Having the most rooms of any hotel in New Brunswick is not a claim to notability, IMO. What, TimothyBlue, do you have some sort of vendetta against Canadian hotels??? :) AleatoryPonderings (talk) 02:20, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- AleatoryPonderings, No, but who told you? I have only one vendetta, and that is against all shopping mall articles, especially shopping mall stubs. Any information to the contrary is fake news created by the Wikipedia deep state to discredit me. // Timothy :: talk 02:31, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Leaning delete. In theory it's not impossible that this building has some unique history or architecture which could work to make it notable, but 'most rooms in the province' doesn't cut it, even if it were sourced. BD2412 T 04:52, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm leaning in BD2412's direction. I could find no sources beyond potted mentions in travel guides like Frommer's. There are brief mentions in some railway books, but just a sentence to the effect that CN was still building railway hotels in the early 1970s. That fact does intrigue me, because I wouldn't have expected it, but again I couldn't find anything significant about the hotel itself. Mackensen (talk) 12:23, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Seeking consensus here to merge only 'Coverage by country or territory' on Google Street View, since Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. I believe merging addresses the interests of those who voted "keep" in the AfD (1st nomination). Walwal20 talk ▾ contribs 00:40, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

- Keep I don't think anything could be merged over there. It'd just be deleting by replacing the article with a redirect. The last AFD had consensus to keep as "this is a timeline, not a directory". Dream Focus 01:37, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- That AfD was closed by a non-admin, with a quite nonneutral closing message. I wouldn't say such consensus actually existed there. Walwal20 talk ▾ contribs 01:42, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- 14 wanted it kept, three wanted it deleted, one wanted it merged. Multiple people did mention it was a valid timeline article, not a directory. Dream Focus 01:54, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- This is the third AFD, the first was when the article was titled Timeline of Google Street View, which ended with an overwhelming keep. Dream Focus 01:54, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out, I've added that link above. postdlf (talk) 17:03, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Dream Focus. Wouldn’t be feasible to merge this over. Zing(Talk!) 02:25, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I would say it is better to remove the list in the main article and just write about the coverage being available accross all continents. Eventually citing some iconic Street View coverage but keep it simple. People will probably want to know more about the service itself first then check where it is available only if they're actually interested by clicking on the link directing to this article.
