Ozone Action Day[edit]

Ozone Action Day (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

I would like to hear opinions on the Ozone Action Day article and whether is should be deleted.

This article is really bad, and I am not sure it is worth the effort to reform it.

Much of the existing text has nothing to do with Ozone Action Days and is about ozone and it's detrimental effects on humans and worker safety concerns. We already cover those topics in better articles at Ozone and Indoor air quality.

I suspect Ozone Action Days are a US-only thing, as nothing in other countries is mentioned. I would expect this article to say what triggers declaration of an Ozone Action Day, and how many days per year are named Ozone Action Days in sample cities. But nothing about that.

Plus the article is really poorly written. I don't mind working on that, but I think if Wikipedia is going to address Ozone Action Days we should just add a paragraph or two to Smog

  • Comment I am seeing lots of media attention, around a theme of articles based on interviews in Indian newspapers. I assume these are connected to a PR drive, but I don't want to write them all off, it seems lots of newspapers took an interest.

Previously prodded, and challenged. Article is unreferenced, and the organization is not notable. This is for a town of approx. 10,000 residents north of Laval, Quebec. The Council does not meet the general notability guideline. PKT(alk) 18:02, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. City councils aren't "inherently" notable just because they exist, especially the city councils of small cities — the notability test for a city council requires WP:GNG-worthy referencing about the city council and its work, not content self-published by the city, but the sole "reference" here is the latter type rather than the former.

Lots of Reddit, self-published fan references backing up v. questionable content ("one of the first gay films", despite films about male homosexuality being around since 1919, at least).

There is subsequent announcement-based coverage in April 2022 when the central bank licenced the firm to operate.

Good afternoon! Thanks for the comments, indeed the article is still very raw. I tried to improve it, added sources and removed unverified information. Could you check, please? @Paul W @Shellwood ~~~~ AlibiKazken (talk) 10:37, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have redrafted the article so that the career section is in prose rather than a bulleted list. There are no reliable sources for the subject's life and career before 2000; for biographies of living people (BLPs) we normally expect a minimum of one reliable citation per paragraph. The Reuters and OIC sources confirm the subject held various offices, but are routine reporting of other matters, not expressly about Baidaulet - Wikipedia notability criteria requires subjects to have "received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other."

  • Comment. I don't really know, since I'm a fairly new editor and don't know Wikipedia policy inside and out yet, but it looks like most of his appointments are political, and that he has served on national and international bodies. It's not clear to me what the rules are with regard to international organizations, but since they are funded by governments I think it would be reasonable to regard them as extensions of governments. If that is the case, then I think that he would qualify under WP:POLITICIAN. Of course, I may be wrong, so hopefully someone who has more experience can comment.

Non-notable substub that's probably a PROD candidate, but it's possible that BOZ or Guinness323 could find some refs. No refs are provided whatsoever, there's seemingly a mention on Books, but it's another game (see BGG entry) with Frank Lantz as the designer. The low number of ratings on BGG, just 6, perhaps also indicates its obscurity, but with no refs here or online per a BEFORE search, this is non-notable and doesn't even have a claim of notability.

i fail to see how she's a notable actress, she's only held very, very minor, mostly unnamed roles or roles in non-notable productions. The claims about winning best actress come from non-notable awards as well. There is no in depth coverage of her to be found and the bulk of the sources here are absolutely unreliable or completely primary like her own CV. PRAXIDICAE🌈 22:09, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thanks for opening discussion. The criteria for inclusion doesn't revolve around our personal views on whether roles are minor or major. The topic of this article, per policy, has been covered by notable and reliable sources. The majority of the information was pulled from Belmont University, TV Guide, Arizona Daily Star, Apple Inc., and Voyage LA. I'm not sure how the other site, Actors Access, shows signs of being an unreliable source. I also don't see how the aforementioned references are less reliable than those used in pages like Emma Fuhrmann and Saxon Sharbino, which largely cite sources that don't even have Wikipedia pages. The notable sources are there, and this page can grow over time. Deletion isn't necessary. -- James26 (talk) 01:33, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's not my personal opinion, it's evidenced by the lack of sources. The sources in the article are almost entirely primary or unreliable (Voyage group is pay to publish interviews and worthless.) PRAXIDICAE🌈 01:39, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The majority of the sources are Belmont University, TV Guide, Arizona Daily Star, and Apple Inc. How are those unreliable? -- James26 (talk) 01:53, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Again, read what I said. PRAXIDICAE🌈 01:54, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've read what you said multiple times. Can you tell me how those do not count as reliable sources and don't verify the claims in the article? -- James26 (talk) 02:04, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:42 - after nearly 8k edits, I'd think this would be something you should understand. The sources aren't coverage OF her. PRAXIDICAE🌈 02:07, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Really?

The majority of the article's body is pulled from those reliable sources, which are all dedicated to her (see the ref list). The citations for Actors Access are mainly credits. I don't know if Voyage LA is a paid site. I have no problem removing it. Can you verify that? -- James26 (talk) 02:18, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

None of that is significant coverage, both Belmont sources are affiliated with her and are press releases, ADS is an interview and TV Guide is a listing, no more reliable than IMDB. PRAXIDICAE🌈 02:23, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just following what's written in the link you provided. " Not: articles written by the topic (including interviews), paid for by the topic, their website, or their organization. Not a press release written by a publicist". Do you have proof that the Belmont sources were written by her, paid for by her, paid for by her website, or written by her publicist? Do you have proof that TV Guide is "no more reliable than IMDB?" ADS verifies the claims made. Do you have proof that it was paid for by her? -- James26 (talk) 02:30, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have to go, bud. Let me know if you can provide proof of any of the things I mentioned. -- James26 (talk) 02:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
TV Guide is a listing you provided and IMDb is depreciated as a source as it's self-published. The links you have given aren't significant coverage of her. I've been mentioned in various media, doesn't make me notable for our purposes here. Oaktree b (talk) 21:30, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. The fact that someone tried to defend such article, it smells a little foul... Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 15:30, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Nothing foul. I've cited Wikipedia policy. For an article to be deleted, one needs to establish proof that policy has been violated. The policies in question are independence and reliability. The questions here are:
    • Is there proof that Hickey created the sources, paid to have them created, or had a publicist do so?
    • Is there proof that the sources are not reliable?
If there's proof, go ahead and present it. -- James26 (talk) 16:00, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all things considered, I'm not seeing much of a case here for WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. James26's insistence that even the TV Guide should count towards coverage, shows a pretty poor understanding of notability guidelines.-KH-1 (talk) 04:44, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The TV Guide reference is gone. It wasn't needed. I'll simply quote the notability guideline.
    From WP:GNG: "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
    "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected."
    Per guidelines, this is significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
    Per guidelines, the definition of independent is a source that "excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent."
    The Voyage site is not as established as the others, but it also dedicated significant coverage to the subject. According to its guidelines, the periodical does not collect and sell data, and there is no mention of it charging for coverage.
    From Wikipedia:Notability (people): " 'Notable' in the sense of being famous or popular—although not irrelevant—is secondary." WP:NACTOR is secondary to the General Notability Guideline.
    Again, how does the article fail to meet the primary policy guidelines cited above? -- James26 (talk) 15:52, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment In my view, AfDs are best argued by stating your view & evidence, once; and allowing others to do the same. Arguing the toss at length with each and every person who expresses a contrary opinion is kinda obsessive behaviour which is not productive, is often unproductive. Repeatedly waving the same three sources, which have repeatedly failed to impress other users, is, again, unpersuasive. At some point you need to take on board & accept that others have formed a legitimate, different view. --Tagishsimon (talk) 16:52, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: @Tagishsimon No problem. Great point. My issue is that people typing "Delete" aren't explaining how the article fails to meet the GNG guidelines. I've explained how it does. If an article I worked hard on has to be deleted, fine, but I'd rather it not be deleted unfairly. -- James26 (talk) 17:07, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not "interpretation." I've pasted direct quotes. Explain how I'm incorrect. I'm listening. Explain how the sources are not reliable and independent. Explain how the coverage is not significant. You also haven't answered my question: Do you have proof that she or her representatives paid to have any of the sources created? -- James26 (talk) 17:45, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:IDHT. PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:47, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I've politely asked you to explain how the article fails to meet guidelines, which is completely reasonable in a deletion discussion, and you've simply dismissed me, probably because you can't explain. You could learn from this part: "Stop writing, listen, and consider what the other editors are telling you." But, yes, we should stop interacting. -- James26 (talk) 17:53, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - there appears to be insufficient support in independent and reliable secondary sources for WP:GNG/WP:BASIC or WP:NACTOR notability. The first source in the article, Tucson actress Andrea Hickey finds Hollywood success 'The Wild West Chronicles' (Tuscon.com, Jul 15, 2021) is based on an interview and does not appear to describe significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; the reliance on an interview and information from the subject means there is limited independent support for WP:BASIC notability. The second source is Meet Andrea Hickey (VoyageLA, Aug 6, 2020) which is an interview without secondary context or commentary. This style of promotional content appears to be part of the editorial policy of VoyageLa: "As you browse through our stories you’ll notice that many of our interviews aren’t as polished as you’ll find elsewhere in the media. That’s intentional [...] Accordingly our mission is to build a platform that fosters collaboration and support for small businesses, independent artists and entrepreneurs [...]" The third source is from Belmont University, where Hickey graduated from in 2010, i.e. Andrea Hickey ’10 Finds Success as Actress in Los Angeles (June 15, 2021), so this is not an independent source, in addition to its reliance on quotes from Hickey. The fourth source in the article leads to "resumes.actorsaccess.com//one_page_resume.cfm" but I only get a message stating "The page you have attempted to view is private." However, given that it appears to be a resume, it does not appear to be the kind of independent, secondary sourcing needed to help support notability per the guidelines, and it is used to support the existence of minor film festival awards. The fifth source is an event announcement that does not mention her and would not support notability if it did. The sixth source is also from Belmont University, which as noted above, is not independent per the guidelines and cannot support notability. The TV Guide source suggested in this discussion also does not appear to help support notability, including because it does not indicate support for WP:NACTOR by demonstrating significant roles in multiple notable productions. My online search found another promotional interview that reminded me of the VoyageLA interview, (Meet Andrea Hickey: Actress, Shoutout Arizona, August 10, 2020) and this is also a Voyage Group publication (e.g. "we’ve grown to almost a dozen cities, generated millions of page views and helped tens of thousands of entrepreneurs and creatives share their stories."). Beyond the lack of independent and secondary content available from the Voyage Group productions to support notability, the apparent promotional purpose of these publications indicate they are little more than press releases and not suitable for supporting encyclopedic content. Overall, the limited independent biographical information available from sources is not particularly in-depth and detailed, so there is not much available to combine per WP:BASIC into an article about this subject at this time. Beccaynr (talk) 18:24, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you. I appreciate your courteous explanation. As mentioned, I can deal with a deletion as long as it's fair and my questions are not ignored. The Independent policy notes: "written by the topic (including interviews), paid for by the topic, their website, or their organization. Not a press release written by a publicist." Can you show me a policy that states that articles from an alma mater violate the Notability guideline? -- James26 (talk) 18:43, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:GNG includes, "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it, and she is affiliated with the university she attended and graduated from. This guideline also includes in footnote 5, Works produced by the subject, or those with a strong connection to them, are unlikely to be strong evidence of notability, and the Belmont sources are interview-based and seem to promote her and the university, which also seems to weigh against support for notability per WP:NOT policy, which excludes WP:PROMO. Beccaynr (talk) 18:56, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I certainly wish I'd spoken to you earlier. I appreciate the hard work you put into your own searches and explanation. The article was written in good faith, like my others. But I know that the decision on what to do with it is out of my hands. For the time being, I'm going to try keeping her images on Commons and see if I can find more secondary sourcing to improve the page either now or in the future. -- James26 (talk) 19:09, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That hasn't been shown here at all, as it's referenced entirely to primary sources rather than independent or reliable ones, and even the sourcing that could potentially be added to bolster it just makes her a WP:BLP1E rather than a topic of sustained nationalized interest.

  • Do not delete. Though I agree with the previous criticisms that the article was largely focused on coverage of her recent hit-and-run arrest, I have expanded the article with coverage of her significant political career. The chair of the Hudson County Democratic Organization is a political boss who, though not inherently notable by virtue of the office, holds large implicit power by virtue of their ability to sway a primary election in the region and state. See the article on Frank Hague for elaboration on how significant DeGise's position is or George Norcross for the importance of political bosses in New Jersey. Though there is some debate over whether DeGise or her father (or neither) is the boss of the Hudson County Party, she is not merely a council member. I hope that my edits will have made the article, which I agree was lacking, sufficient. I will continue to find suitable sources; I think an article should probably be written for her father, too. -A-M-B-1996- (talk) 01:51, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't enough to cite four pieces of purely run of the mill local coverage in her local media where such coverage is merely expected to exist — every city councillor in every city can always show three or four hits in their own local media, so if four hits of local coverage were all it took to exempt a city councillor from our inclusion standards for local politicians then no local politician would ever actually be subject to those standards at all anymore. To actually get a city councillor into Wikipedia, you would have to show nationalizing coverage, demonstrating a reason why she could credibly claim to be one of the most individually important city councillors in the entire country.

  • Merge to The_Haunted_Mansion#Lore. This is mostly unreferenced, WP:NLIST does not appear met, but a merger of summary, with some refs, would be good given the linked to "Lore" section right now consists of just a "see this list". A bit of plot summary should exist in the target article and this list can be condensed into such a form (note: a cut of ~90-95% in lenght is likely warranted, given that this is, let's face it, WP:FANCRUFT). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:37, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, a check of the sources cited by Kaleeb show that they provide no information that would showcase a WP:NLIST pass, indeed they do not seem to provide any relevant commentary on the characters at all, merely providing some trivial in-universe plot description.

  • Delete - Of the sources provided above, only the one from the OC Register really actually discusses the topic of the actual "characters" in the ride, rather than as part of a discussion of the ride as a whole. I was considering the idea of a merge to The Haunted Mansion#Lore as suggested by Piotrus, but the actual notable ghosts discussed in the OC register article are all actually described in the article already in the detailed description in the "Attraction" section. The OC Register article should be added as a reference to the main The Haunted Mansion article for sure, but since there is no actual information using it as a source in this list, a merge would not be needed for that. Rorshacma (talk) 01:54, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Just to muddy the issue further, IIRC, the original ride designers did not intend to include any kind of actual story within the ride, so a good deal of this material is "fanon" developed over the years by Disney fans and ride ops at the parks.

Keep Very well sourced article, meets WP:GNG. I see no reason to remove. Skipple 20:04, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because Datchinamurthy's case is clearly notable and he has been consistently attracting attention since his death sentence was passed on him by the courts (especially during the final years leading up to his execution).

One should not assume that a wealth of coverage necessarily translates into notability in an encyclopedic sense. The subject had a tragic life, and may his memory be a blessing, but I do not believe that WP:LASTING has been convincingly shown here. A textbook case of WP:NOTNEWS IMO. Kingoflettuce (talk) 16:58, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This is incredibly well sourced and clearly meets GNG. Why shouldn't every death row prisoner in the world with this much press have an article? This has zero to do with NOTNEWS since the coverage spans ten years. Consequently there's no valid deletion criterion stated. Also what does the "level of detail" have to do with AfD? AfD is not cleanup doesn't usually pertain to trimming down an article. Go edit the damn thing if you don't like it, don't nominate a clear GNG pass for deletion. Central and Adams (talk) 21:09, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note Nom's citation of WP:LASTING is misleading. This is a sufficient condition for event notability but it's not a necessary condition. This article satisfies WP:EVENTCRIT #2: Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards...
  • Keep because judging from the circumstances of his case, it does ignite the debate about the alleged racial make-up of Singapore's death row, and some discussions among Singaporeans about the need for compassion on some sympathetic drug cases on death row in the aftermath of his execution and several others. His involvement in the 2021 racial lawsuit, which was the first lawsuit about the alleged racial discrimination brought about by capital punishment in Singapore, can certainly stand witness to the racial debate that took place before his hanging. --NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 00:16, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Person is not notable and is no longer a nominee after the seat [at the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York] he was nominated to was nullified by the previous seatholder, David Hurd, withdrawing his senior status.

  • Redirect or draftify: Federal judge nominees are not granted inherent notability, per WP:USCJN, and there is no indication that he passes WP:GNG. Per the consensus that was established at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tiffany M. Cartwright, draftification seems like a good ATD, serving as a waiting room until he actually becomes notable, but redirection as stated above works too. Curbon7 (talk) 20:41, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The article has had suspect and speculative content removed previously. I suggested to the editors on the talk page on May 08 2022 that the article be deleted. See talk page for: "This wiki was largely made up of material closely associated with the subject such as academic papers, reports and media releases and news articles written by the subject. I suggest the subject has been involved in this wiki as it reads like a profile page. It is also largely based on the immune cycle page material which seems to be closely related in terms of content. I have attempted to deal with the multiple issues involved. Worth considering this page for deletion." Progressing this matter by commencing discussion on deletion.

  • Delete Even if wiki-notability can be established, the current text is abysmally far from acceptable sourcing and would need to be blown up and rebuilt from scratch. I am also not convinced that wiki-notability can be established; the citation profile looks middle-of-the-road for a high-citation field, with lots of middle-coauthor entries. XOR'easter (talk) 18:59, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Per NPROF, primary and non-independent sources are permitted in biographies of scholars, where they generally comprise a large chunk of the source material. The fact that this bio also cites multiple independent news media reporting on his results/quoting him as an expert is actually unusual and welcome, although they don't seem to be enough to meet C7 and don't contain any SIGCOV for GNG. The biography is rather promotional and ill-formatted, and if it contains copyvio from his websites should be revdeled, but it's not as egregious as many examples here and he may have a claim to notability. That said, a glance at his Scopus profile doesn't suggest he would meet C1 in this high-citation field, but I could take a look at his 400+ coauthors to see how he compares if that would be useful. JoelleJay (talk) 23:04, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Here are the Scopus profiles of all 222 of his coauthors who had 30+ papers:
Total citations: average: 12590, median: 6080, Coventry: 5583.
Total papers: 219, 147, 167.
h-index: 44, 37, 27.
Top 5 papers: 1st: 1333, 718, 1461; 2nd: 852, 401, 920; 3rd: 591, 283, 607; 4th: 471, 227, 213; 5th: 389, 197, 153.
Given that none of his top five papers feature him as first or last author, and the fact that his h-index is so much lower than even the median, I'm going with a delete for this one. JoelleJay (talk) 03:09, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Honorary consul is not an "inherently" notable role that guarantees automatic inclusion in Wikipedia; it's a role where he would have to be shown to clear WP:GNG on his sourcing, but the references here aren't getting him over GNG — it's referenced to a mixture of primary sources and short glancing namechecks of his existence in news articles that aren't about him in any non-trivial sense, which is not the kind of sourcing it takes. And no, "our country is one of the most famous policies of Azerbaijan" is not grounds for a biographical article about an individual person who can't be properly shown to pass GNG, either. Also, for added bonus, this has been move-warred over, with an editor who is not an established AFC reviewer pushing it from draftspace to mainspace twice without a proper AFC review, which is also not okay.

Mehrali Gasimov is one of the respected politicians in Azerbaijan. He has enough merits to Azerbaijan and Ukraine Republics. It is worth to mention that he was responsible to evacuate 360 Ukrainian citizens from Kabul and bring them to Azerbaijan in 2022 as a result of the revolution in Afghanistan. In addition, he organized the evacuation of more than 15,000 Azerbaijanis with Ukrainian citizenship to various European countries during the war with Russia. 17:06, 12 August 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.244.124.194 (talk)

Notability, for Wikipedia purposes, is not a question of doing stuff, it's a question of receiving analytical media coverage in reliable sources about the stuff he did.

Democrat Spring appears to be just that: A spring. Topo maps show the name next to a few buildings dating back to the 1930s, but there's no evidence that this is an actual settlement, let alone a notable one.

Duplicate article. "Muslim Mojahedin" is a generic term used for describing People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (and also used for describing other groups). Source consensus is undoubtedly clear about that. Fad Ariff (talk) 11:59, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The title is its own distinct term referring to one side of an internal schism within the PMOI that is currently inadequately examined on that page. It might be considered a child article of the schism on that page, and, were it currently a part of that page, it would make for a viable split, since Google Scholar yields plenty of unique scholarly hits for the specific term. The current overlap with the PMOI article is meanwhile incredibly low: the term "Muslim Mojahedin" is not even referenced there, despite being reliably attested in academic sources. So, there is little obvious duplication, no clear reason for deletion and good reason to retain the article as a viable child article. Were there space on PMOI to merge the content back in, that could have been an alternative, but, as it is, the page is already over-length, and that is not the topic here.

Purely a one-line dicdef for 16 years, with no apparent potential for improvement. BD2412 T 05:12, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: After 16 years, I was only just doing research on this yesterday when I saw it was not WikiProject tagged, so I'm surprised to see it nominated just the day after I was researching it for expansion/GNG!
The term is mentioned on page 78-79 of the currently cited Cyclopædia (depends which version you're looking in, but the text remains the same), and I managed to find another very brief mention at page 54 of [12][1]. After realising it was a medical instrument and not a military weapon apparently, I found significant coverage from a secondary source [13] for which I can verify a translation at [14]. This source reveals it as a French term used in the early 1700s for a "dissecting knife" used in cutting ligaments for amputations. Given the source's age it should be in public domain so the image of the knife from that source could be added to the article. This hypothesis is supported by the passing mention in [15][2] among other French dictionaries at the time. Likely due to mistranslation, it has also been spelt "amphismila" - it is stylised in french as amphismèle.[16][3]
According to [17][4], it was used for the "diffection of bones" (I believe it is referring to dissection or amputation) [18][5] instead says it was for the "diffection of bodies" - I speculate the term ended up there through word of mouth in French translation. There are a handful of other dictionaries to mimic this definition around the same timeframe such as [19].
[20] mentions in passing and apparently also does not know the origin of the term.
Will also note the stub got mirrored a lot: [21][22][23][24][25][26]. There are also apparently over a dozen mirrors mentioning the term from mirrors to List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes (this doesn't help its case for notability but I think it is worth pointing out since these mirrors make it harder to find non-circular sources).
So, as far as notability, the sources are there I would image the article hasn't been expanded because it's extremely hard to find any detailed description of the object as it was in the 1700s. I think there is good reason to believe that somewhere there is a french 1700s medical book (almost certainly among the non-English non-dictionaries that show up as a search result at internet archive) that provides significant coverage to meet the two reliable sources required for GNG, hence my suggestion to keep. If the article survives AfD I am willing to expand the article with the information I found.

  • Redirect to knife (and don't unredirect without a change in focus). Above sources are all fine but don't seem to contradict the idea that this is merely an obscure synonym / alternate Greek term. Article should only be restored if there's evidence of this being a "separate topic," i.e. a specific kind of knife, rather than simply the term used for a knife by some 1700s French surgeons.

These are not remotely close to meeting GNG. Fats40boy11, a high rate of nominations isn't a valid speedy keep rationale as there is no policy- or guideline-based requirement for BEFORE and anyway we can't discern whether the nom actually did check for sources for each article beforehand.

Are there any other reliable sources out there that we could find and use? If so, please leave them below. That being said, I’m leaning to the article being draftified. Any future contributions, or lack of, will have a strong influence on my decision, but there is no question that the article needs significant expansion should there be sources out there. However, we can’t keep articles if the sourcing is not good enough. Fats40boy11 (talk) 06:44, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. My own search for "فیصل حمیدی" returned little beyond what was mentioned by the other !voter above: mentions in routine transactional announcements and stats databases. Right now there is exactly one keep !vote that makes any type of P&G-based argument, which is certainly not sufficient for retaining the article and especially not when it is situated around non-GNG sources. JoelleJay (talk) 21:53, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete My previous comment said any future contributions, or lack of, will have a strong influence on my decision. As I have not found reliable sources that are sufficient in keeping the article, and other users have not found anything since my comment, I have thought carefully about my !vote for a considerable amount of time. As per JoelleJay, the sources above in this AFD are not sufficient in retaining the article. I did also lean toward draftify in my previous comment, but nobody has convinced me that sources may be out there and may just be difficult to find, hence why I have come to my conclusion.

The talk page discussion at this article already indicated the correct course of action to take. This discussion is moot.

Redirect to Halos, as the apparent error in Stephanus is already mentioned there. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 03:34, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect is not suitable since there are two possible targets. Avilich (talk) 15:06, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's no such policy—many redirects could point to more than one target, but point to the one most likely to be wanted—and usually that target mentions the other one either in the body or a hatnote. Here the place meant by Stephanus was Halos, which we know as he was cataloguing places in Thessaly—not Arcadia. So if someone runs across a mention of Alea in Thessaly, the place referred to is almost certain to be Halos, not Alea in Arcadia. But for the sake of argument, if either place were reasonably probable, then the correct course of action would be to turn this stub article into a disambiguation page—not to delete it! P Aculeius (talk) 20:07, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Ficaia. We already have a disambiguation for the more generic search term Alea, which could (and should) be adjusted to explain the redirect. And as for the redirect having two targets: I doubt even many people are searching for the actual ancient Arcadia by explictily typing "Alea (Thessaly)" into the search field, and then get annoyed when they don't end up on "Alea (Arcadia)". I mean... how. --LordPeterII (talk) 21:28, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I've spent 10-15 minutes trying to find any reliable secondary sources providing significant coverage of UO's CAS and I'm not finding anything. There's a ton of information on UO's website, their blogs, and the independent student newspaper. Unfortunately wikipedia guidelines say that while student newspapers (if independent) are acceptable sources for verification, they have considerably less weight when determining an article's notability. As it stands right now, this article is basically just a mirror of UO's own website and isn't backed up by any reliable sources. Until there's more mainstream significant coverage of CAS I'll have to vote delete. PDXBart (talk) 17:20, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this page being singled out for deletion when other business school pages are not: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haas_School_of_Business, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster_School_of_Business, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_Davis_Graduate_School_of_Management, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_State_University_College_of_Business.
This seems unfair and may be someone from a competing business school targeting another school for deletion. Certainly the Oregon State business school is less of a "notable school" and smaller then the state's flagship business school at the University of Oregon.

And no, just because a bit of run of the mill campaign coverage exists in the local media, where coverage of local politics is simply expected to exist, isn't enough to make her notable for the purposes of an international encyclopedia — her coverage would have to nationalize before she had a credible claim to being more significant than most other county council candidates.

Does not meet WP:NBIO. This looks like an effort specifically to create a promotional articles. Almost all the refs are misleading, mentioning her employer (Ozwald Boateng) but not her.

  • Delete While she does seem to have done some stuff, we have no sources to support it. The entire start of the carreer section is (apparently) sourced to this, which does not mention Colucci at all. The only references actually talking about her (still not in-depth) are the Forbes subsite ones, which Headbomb's script identifies as only borderline reliable. The Fashionista & Esquire refs again do not seem to mention Colucci at all – nominator is right, this is very misleading. An editor might have known more than the sources say, but then it's WP:OR.

Lack of significant coverage in reliable sources as required by WP:SIGCOV. The sole source is a statistical database only. Sistorian (talk) 19:58, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would be happy to change my comment if you can provide sources. I suggested delete because after searching for sources I find 2 google hits. I did my own name and got 900,000. WCMemail 12:42, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I too had no luck on Google. I do not see what is bizarre, or even wrong, about nominating an article that so completely fails the significant coverage requirement. In my opinion, we must place emphasis on quality over quantity. I doubt if you will find Cheraldine in Britannica, for example. Articles about cricketers are fine if there is significant coverage because the player is well known or has accomplished an outstanding achievement, but to try and fill mainspace with articles like this is a waste of mainspace. The little we know about Cheraldine could be included in a list of Dutch players and that would be sufficient.

  • Redirect to List of Netherlands women ODI cricketers Must say I'm surprised at the lack of coverage in a simple search, so at redirect for now. If something is found please let me know and I'll reconsider. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:31, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Sending international sportspeople to AfD without goes to show what we have become as a project. This player participated in two World Cups and has 36 WODI appearances. "I can't find any sources myself so I'll send to AfD" is not the way these things should be handled - the cricket Wikiproject is very good at finding secondary sources when necessary and prompted to do so. Of course more work needs to be put into research about women's cricket in general - but this is the nature of the sport. Bobo. 00:29, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Bobo. Thank you for your comments here and at the Meston case. I have been reading WP:ATD on the deletion policy page and I am beginning to think a different approach is needed. I still need to do a lot of research to get my head around the site's policies, guidelines and advice essays but I do have an idea.
Take a case like Cheraldine where the article is three short sentences of basic information lifted from a single statistical database site. As it is currently written, the article definitely fails WP:SIGCOV. As I said above, I cannot find anything else about Cheraldine online. She is an experienced international player, though, so there must be information in book, magazine and newspaper sources. Those, I fully accept, will be difficult and time-consuming to find.
Suppose I tag the article with the notability template banner and then add it to a list of cricket articles needing attention? I leave it alone for six months and then, if it is still three short statistical sentences, I do a straight redirect to List of Netherlands women ODI cricketers as suggested by Rugbyfan22? No need to involve AFD at all and, as you have requested, the cricket project sees the issue by monitoring the list and has six months to respond.
I became interested in AFD after reading the Lugnuts/Lambert cases at the Arbitration Committee. From that, I know there is going to be a reaction to the stubs created by Lugnuts although there are concerns about AFD being deluged. I would like to help with the initiative because I believe in quality over quantity and I have submitted six cases to AFD in the last few days to gain some experience of the process.
That is where I am coming from. I do not think short "stubs" like the Cheraldine article benefit the site's reputation; instead, they are an actual constraint. A reader wants useful information, more than so-and-so is a Dutch cricketer born when and where who has played in ODI matches for her country. Articles like that convince the readers that Wikipedia is a waste of space and they go away.
I do not know if my idea is practical because it might be out of process in some way. I need to fully understand what is in process. I will be happy to discuss further, of course. Thank you for your suggestions which most certainly provided me with food for thought. Best wishes.
Sistorian (talk) 05:45, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can't say much more than that what happens at AfD is much more than just a single situation, and for one reason or another, it has been causing issues within the cricket section for many years. Some situations resolve and some don't. Comme ci comme ca. There are more editors out there than just Lugnuts and JPL. There is still so much scope for article creation within our project, and, should you feel the need to help out, or can add more information, our project is always needing more fresh contributors. Unfortunately this and the Meston case do not work together as a single argument - international women's and domestic men's cricket are two much different animals. As I say, much more needs to be done in the world of women's international cricket, but that does not make it an invalid subject for contribution. Bobo. 08:20, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of significant coverage in reliable sources as required by WP:SIGCOV. The sole source is a statistical database only. Sistorian (talk) 19:47, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Cricket, and England. Sistorian (talk) 19:47, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The “database source” in this case contains a significant prose discussion of West’s career - likely his Wisden obituary. This is often the case with Middlesex players and demonstrates clearly that anyone nominating articles sourced to CricInfo needs to click the link to check. As a result there is suitable coverage already and that’s before we go and look in a range of other places such as Middlesex histories. The nomination is, unfortunately, not using a valid rationale in this case. Shame that. Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:13, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are also a number of passing mentions - for example, one on the Notts website - and some details appear in an paper in Albion: A Quarterly Journal Concerned with British Studies, 15/1 by Keith Sandiford titled Amateurs and Professionals in Victorian County Cricket. Unfortunately I don't have access, but the snippet available in a google search suggests that there's a bit more detail there as well. He also appears mentioned several times in Cricket magazine and in an edition of Wisden, some of which is available online. This suggests that there will be more in other editions of Wisden. I imagine there's enough if someone has the time to suggest quite strongly that this passes WP:BASIC levels of sourcing. Blue Square Thing (talk) 21:23, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blue Square Thing, the Cricinfo discussion is anything but significant because it is simply statistics dressed in prose clothing. The only non-statistical information it provides, other than what is already in the article, is West having been on the MCC ground staff, which is hardly significant. I presume you could add the statistical information to the information box, as seems to be the usual practice. If you intend to expand the article using statistics only, albeit in prose form, then I do not think that will comply with WP:NOT (in the section labelled WP:NOTSTATS) and the article will still lack significant coverage because "multiple sources are generally expected".

If there is more information in histories of the Middlesex club then by all means include it. As I understand things, though, the article must cite reliable sources and cannot be left in a "before we go and look" scenario. I am still new to this, I must point out, so please explain if I am misunderstanding the process in any way. Thank you.

Sistorian (talk) 21:27, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your nomination says The sole source is a statistical database only. That is patently not the case. Not only have you not looked to check if there are any other sources about West - which is strongly encouraged - you haven't checked the source which was in the article. Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:08, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It patently is the case when the half a dozen lines of prose consist almost entirely of statistics with words between the numbers. The case is well put by User:Wjemather below. The coverage is brief to the point of insignificance.
With all six of the articles I have nominated, I carried out a Google search and found nothing except Wikipedia, its mirrors, sources already in the article like ESPN, and other statistical sites which do not seem reliable. You have said before that there may be content in Middlesex club histories but I do not have access to such books. As I understand the significant coverage requirement, there must be multiple reliable sources and they must be cited in the article. Please do not assume I have not checked Google or the ESPN article. I assure you I have.
Sistorian (talk) 19:28, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can't help but think if the first thing a new editor does is add six articles for deletion, they think something needs fixing with the project which they don't understand will take more than a batch-add of deletion discussions. There are better ways to handle content than adding everything that displeases you, as a new editor, to AfD. There are issues here which date back years, not just a month since you discovered the site and became au fait uncharacteristically quickly with deletion discussions and ArbCom cases.

    Appreciate the honesty, but asserting that you "have no idea" if there is anything worthwhile in possible sources is not a convincing argument. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:17, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I thought I had access to Wisden from somewhere, as I say, if you have access, feel free to add, otherwise really telling me that I'm wrong in giving others impetus to help out is counterproductve. My main point was that these issues are not taken to WT:CRIC first and need to be otherwise we get half a dozen delete votes from people who have nothing to contribute, and a fair number of contributions to the article in the interim... but that's happened many times and won't stop in a hurry. Bobo. 12:51, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As already indicated by BST, it would seem clear that the Cricinfo profile contains the entirety of the Wisden obit; since it does little more than summarise his statistics, it barely reaches the threshold of significant coverage. wjematherplease leave a message... 13:13, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep For someone who played that number of games, and umpired an official test it is highly likely that GNG passing sourcing exists. His name is particularly common, obviously with tuna, other cricketers and other umpires in other sports so searching is difficult, but with what we have and what we know I imagine there will be GNG passing sourcing out there. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:03, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Having looked into this some more and slept on it, I think there's a really interesting story here, but it's going to take some serious work to unpick all the strands and piece together all the pieces - at least two or three days worth of work and picking through newspapers and so on. And that's without access to old and expensive Wisdens. I will, hopefully, find time to do that work, but it won't happen for days if not a few weeks and it'll be quicker if nothing else comes up that is a higher priority. For that reason I'd rather keep the article for now at least. If the story doesn't pan out the way I think it will then it'll be obvious in six months time I guess. Blue Square Thing (talk) 07:46, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify. Currently, the article fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSCRIT #5, as well as being a WP:NOTDATABASE violation. Normally, this would warrant deletion, but since Blue Square Thing believes they can improve the article, given sufficient time, I believe draftification would be a suitable compromise; either they can improve the article and it is returned to article space, or they can't and we don't need to waste our time with a second AfD in six months.

  • Draftify I never found any SIGCOV on him in the British Newspaper Archive, perhabs I gave up to soon as there are ALOT of articles of people with the same name. This message board is the best I found. Of course, it can´t be used as a source but someone there did have better luck of finding some information on him so maybe someone here can use it to help narrow their searches. Alvaldi (talk) 08:33, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He's in Wisden plenty of times, the problem is getting access to really old (and expensive) Wisdens. Note that I would suggest very strongly that drafting this article is completely against a long-term consensus at AfD which has been established since at least 2018 to redirect if nothing can be found. I think in this case there is so much evidence of sources existing that there's an argument for keeping, at least for a period of time, but would much prefer a redirect to drafting. If it's drafted it won't get worked on (I can absolutely guarantee that I won't work on it) and will be deleted in six months.

Ironically I probably care less for process than almost anyone else. "Process" gets in our way of achieving our goal.

Don’t make needless procedural objections if you don’t consider process important unless you want to be accused of process wonkery. There is no impasse, there was a massive fuck off RFC that set a standard. Folks just arguing contrary are being disruptive and clearly throwing sand into the gears to slow down the inevitable cleanup. There was an arbitration request that reinforced the risks of that behaviour. Spartaz Humbug! 18:38, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If we were working to the same goal, no "process" would be needed. And an "inevitable" clean-up which will not happen without the mass-deletion of dozens of articles of players with scores of appearances, contrary to the goals of the project. A tragic indication of what we have become. Bobo. 19:47, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You make my point perfectly. Firstly you put the aims of your wikiproject ahead of the expressed desire of the community and a settled community consensus and then you have the effrontery to assume that I am working to different goals then you. Next you will be applying some silly label as a way of making it ok to ignore an opinion reflecting community consensus. Classy. Spartaz Humbug! 16:07, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete none of the keep votes are based on policy established at an extremely well attended RFC that requires sports bios to have at least a single decent reliable source. As Noted cricinfo is a sports database (a bloody brilliant one) but turning statistics into propose is not an RS. The closing admin should note that there is an entrenched WP:Cricket contingent voting here who are clearly opposed to the will of the community but have singularly failed to provide the required source. wiki projects do not have the right to stick two fingers up to the community and force through non policy based outcomes by making frankly risable non policy based arguments. If the sourcing is not provided then the policy based outcome is delete although personally I think its high time lists of cricketers by team and period were created for these articles so we can simoly redirect them until the sources are found.

  • Redirect or delete. Per the arguments from BST, BM, Alvaldi, and Spartaz. I agree that SIG sourcing needs to be shown to exist, but that redirection is viable until then. JoelleJay (talk) 03:49, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The guidelines are quite clear that a source that fails NSPORT but passes GNG can and should be kept. Some keep !voters are asserting the subject passes GNG (not NSPORT) which would be grounds for keeping regardless of the RFC, but I'd like to see some actual evidence of that if I'm going to !vote to keep. To say that "Keep because GNG" is "not based in policy" is simply false, but on the other hand, I'd like to see some evidence that he actually passes it.

We know, because there are the odd snippet views, that there are mentions in Wisden. Beyond that, we know that he was on the MCC's staff for a long period - until way after he finished playing which is odd - and was given two benefit seasons by Middlesex, the first player to be given a second; both of those were after he'd finished playing as well. We know that players like this were profiled in Lillywhite's guides - for example, the other John West is profiled here. The problem is that we can't access those sources. And he umpired a Test.
There's something going on here and I'm 99% certain that a) sources exists and b) there's a story that's worth looking into. But it's going to take time and effort. I'm hopeful, per the discussion going on about access to sources at the cricket project, that we might have a way in to some of those sources - thanks to Spartaz's connections.
Can I show sources exist right now? No, I can't - beyond snippet views and the like. But this John West played 86 matches compared to the other John West's 52. He had two benefit seasons compared to one match. There's something there you know - the message board post that Alvadi found suggests as much. But there's no online sourcing.
So, if it has to be redirected, fine. I'll see what I can find and bring it back as a test case at some point if I'm able to. If people are happy to give it six months in main space, then that's fine as well - if I've found nothing after that I'll redirect it myself. If you really must delete it then go ahead, delete it.
