An old label with many connections to artists and other labels Dave ida (talk) 21:11, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I've added the only references that I could find, and that was an interview with the owner, so it's not much of a reference. I've had a nosey around and can't seem to find any other references that count towards notability. Delete per WP:GNG. Knitsey (talk)
Weak Keep" There are some articles regarding band album releases on Pickled Egg Records. Fryedk (talk) 23:02, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Significant because of relative longevity (for an indie label) and connections to a couple of major acts, most importantly Daniel Johnston. I've added a couple of press refs.MongogramForCandy (talk) 10:23, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've added links for notable musicians who have recorded for the label, including Jeremy Barnes (A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Neutral Milk Hotel, Beirut), Seb Rochford (Polar Bear, Acoutic Ladyland), Alex Neilson (Trembling Bells, Will Oldham, et al), writer, broadcaster (BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4) and musician David Bramwell; plus of course, the aforementioned Daniel Johnston, and the debut Go! Team single. Nigel Turner (talk) 11:25, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The label famously - some might say, infamously - secured five entries in John Peel's Festive Fifty in 1998, a mere 12 months after launching; I've added a reference for this. The label also set up and managed Daniel Johnston's first European tour; again, I've added a reference to this. Nigel Turner (talk) 21:10, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Goro Maki

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

User talk:GojiraFan1954 has lately been going on a (metaphorical) killing spree by rushing to create as many articles as they can before they're properly ready -- but this one may be the worst yet. An article for the character Goro Maki has no notability due to no significant coverage from secondary or third-party sources, relies on WP:OR, WP:SYN, and is mostly driven by WP:FAN. In short, it's an article that has no reason to exist. GojiraFan1954 is treating Wikipedia as if it's a Wikia fan page. Armegon (talk) 20:30, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Fictional elements-related deletion discussions. CAPTAIN RAJU^(T) 21:17, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I am telling you, I would never treat Wikipedia like its a so-called "Wikia fan page", I only make articles on characters that are iconic, and if I don't find enough evidence of the iconic articles, then I don't select the said character for a Wikipedia article, by the sounds of this AFD, it doesn't just seem to be an WP:IDONTLIKEIT, it's an WP:IDONTLIKEWHOCREATEDIT. That's my conclusion. GojiraFan1954 (talk) 21:38, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree; I would suggest the nom try and be a bit more respectful, especially since GojiraFan is a relatively new user still learning the ropes. Remember to assume good faith in cases like these.

That being said, I do also feel that the subjects you've written so far aren't really clearly illustrating why they're meeting independent notability. Articles need strong citations from secondary sources to back up if they're independently notable or not.

Using Maki here as an example, you say he's iconic, and yet the only two citations in the article are a fan theory briefly mentioned in a single article and a Screen Rant citation, which is considered to be something not very helpful for notability due to content farm reasons per Wikipedia:VALNET. For a subject like this, I'd expect at least a few strong citations that act as Wikipedia:Significant coverage of the subject, such as a source analyzing his role in the series or an article discussing his popularity in depth.

You clearly seem passionate about this and have a grasp on the process already, but I do suggest familiarizing yourself with what Wikipedia considers helpful for illustrating independent notability, as well as general policies for this topic. Examples include Wikipedia:GNG, Wikipedia:SIGCOV (Which I have already linked above), and scattered discussions across the site on fictional character notability. If you want help or pointers, I'd be happy to help with anything you need. Let me know if you need clarification on anything I said above. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:52, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GojiraFan1954: Apologies if I sounded aggressive, or disrespectful even. I was trying to stress how some of your recent articles seem more in line with a Wikia Fan's article than a Wiki article. But I could've phrased it better. I also offer my help, should you need it. My Talk page is always open. Armegon (talk) 23:15, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a response from this AFD, I'm giving out my consent that this article should be draftified in my sandbox. GojiraFan1954 (talk) 03:03, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Son of Godzilla, his first appearance, as an AtD. I agree with everything in the nom regarding this article in particular, and that this character doesn't really have independent notability from any of his appearances. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:39, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I support Userfy per GojiraFan below. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 02:08, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Putting the article into user space to let it incubate may be a good idea and GojiraFan can reintroduce the article if cleanup can be accomplished. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 22:38, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So draftify in my sandbox is the answer? GojiraFan1954 (talk) 22:56, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's generally a good idea to work on a new article in draft user space it it's unclear if notability can be immediately established. Of course, if notability can't eventually be established, it might be deleted there too, but I think there is less pressure as long as the user aims to develop the article. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 23:15, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If thats the case, I'll go for draftify in my sandbox GojiraFan1954 (talk) 23:17, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Royal Autumn Crest, I'll give you the consensus to moving it to GojiraFan1954/sandbox/Goro Maki and I'll keep on working on the article until its ready for mainspace. GojiraFan1954 (talk) 23:21, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy as suggested. Right now, the three sources are not reliable, but maybe they can find more. Bearian (talk) 02:49, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy - The fact that none of the references included in the article are significant coverage from reliable sources means that this was nowhere near ready for main space. On top of that, none of these three separate characters that share the name in the franchise actually have enough notability to pass the WP:GNG. While I am not opposed to allowing this to go back into draft space as an WP:ATD for now, the fact that my own searches for sources are not turning up any significant coverage in reliable sources and the Japanese Wikipedia does not have an article on any of the three characters to help draw non-English sources from, I honestly doubt this will ever be an appropriate article for the main space. Rorshacma (talk) 06:21, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If it's not notable, it's not notable - there have not been any sources presented that indicates it passes WP:GNG. There is no need for giving the creator false hope that it will be restored as an article only to be let down even heavier if it's not accepted. It's better to rip the Band-Aid off and encourage them to put their efforts towards creating or improving notable articles instead, of which I am sure they can find one to work on since there is plenty of work to be done in this subject area. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:07, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Right now this could be closed with a result to userfy, but even those supporting that seem to have serious doubts that it will ever be an appropriate mainspace page, so that probably needs further discussion.

Keep but rescope. there seems to be continued coverage to pass NEVENT to me [1], also lots of book coverage [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

This article is a hot mess though and needs to be renamed, and possibly rescoped to focus on this in combination with the arrests in Bosnia which this is really a subtopic of. I would suggest rescoping on the overarching terror plot which resulted in arrests in several countries. We actually have a completely separate article on one of the people related to this plan, Mirsad Bektašević, which should probably be merged into an article on the terror plot since he is BLP1E and the coverage isn't so prolific as to necessitate or benefit from multiple articles. Something here is notable but we aren't covering it the best way - not a reason for deletion. PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:17, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Advanced Video Attribute Terminal Assembler and Recreator

Fails WP: GNG. I found one short paragraph in a book, but otherwise I couldn't find anything that could be used to establish notability. HyperAccelerated (talk) 22:26, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Computing-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 22:32, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a well-established technical standard from one of the largest computer networks of the 1980s and 1990s. Further evidence of notability will likely be found in contemporaneous digital sources (nowadays hard to find) than in books. The FidoNews archive (not indexed by Google and other search engines due to its antiquated compression format) and terminal/BBS software manuals would be good places to start. —Psychonaut (talk) 23:11, 6 December 2024 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Psychonaut (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD. [reply]
Horrible reasoning. Vaguely gesturing to an archive of 4000 zip files and saying "it's probably in here" is not a valid argument. If this is such a well-known standard, you should have no issue finding sources that provide in-depth coverage to back up what you're saying. Are you seriously asking me to download thousands of zip files written by a stranger on the Internet onto my own computer? HyperAccelerated (talk) 23:31, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not asking you to do anything. I'm saying that the topic is likely notable and have provided pointers to anyone who has both the time and interest to help find sources that further support this notability. I have the interest but unfortunately no time at the moment, particularly given that any reliable sources that do exist probably aren't readily available on the Web. (Case in point: the documents you have balked at examining were not written "on the Internet"; they simply happen to be archived there.) If you do want to help, you might provide details of the book you found. —Psychonaut (talk) 14:10, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not care whether they were initially published in a print format. I would like to see specific quotations from source material that show significant coverage. If you are not going to do that, I have nothing to discuss with you. No WP: SIGCOV, no article. HyperAccelerated (talk) 15:46, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It belatedly occurs to me that the two sources already cited in the article probably already meet WP:GNG in that they are reliable (both having been adopted as FidoNet standards), have significant coverage of the topic (one of which describes in detail the protocol and an independent implementation of it, and the other of which describes an extension to the original protocol), and are independent of the subject (since they were written by someone who was uninvolved in the design or initial implementation of the protocol, other than having suggested a name for it). Having freed up some time this evening, I found a few further sources with more than trivial mentions of AVATAR:
- PC Interrupts: A Programmer's Reference Guide to BIOS, DOS, and Third-party Calls by Ralf Brown and Jim Kyle (Addison-Wesley, 1993) has a paragraph about the serial dispatcher of the AVATAR driver in Chapter 7 and several pages' worth of API documentation for the AVATAR driver in Chapter 36.
- "ANSI-TERM 4", an article about the eponymous terminal software by its author Richard VanHouten, appears in the September 1992 issue of Computer News 80 (Vol. 5, № 9), and includes a short paragraph discussing AVATAR and which terminals support it. (Similar information is recapitulated elsewhere in the issue in an independent review of ANSI-TERM 4 by Gary W. Shanafelt, though this one may be too brief to count.)
- The Opus Technical Reference Manual by Trev Roydhouse (2nd edition, 1991) has a comprehensive description of all AVATAR commands in §4.4.2. (This source may or may not be fully independent; although Opus and AVATAR were designed by Wynn Wagner III, the manual was not written by him.)
—Psychonaut (talk) 03:37, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, absolutely not. In one of the sources, the author describes making a phone call to the developer of AVATAR. This would not realistically happen unless the two were already in close contact with one another. (Note: there's two sources on the article currently, both written by George Stanislav.)

You also propose that these sources are independent of the subject "they were written by someone who was uninvolved in the design or initial implementation of the protocol, other than having suggested a name for it". This, of course, is unreasonable. Under this interpretation of independence, it would okay for my friend to write a Wikipedia article about my high school programming assignment because they never looked at the code before the project was completed.

You need to provide specific quotations from the other sources not in the article. Technical documentation usually does not qualify as significant coverage, because most documentation is authored by someone participating in the development process. At this point, you have done nothing to show that any source provides significant coverage. HyperAccelerated (talk) 06:14, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid you are mistaken. There is no such rule here about technical documentation, no one is under any obligation to quote third-party sources (which, as I've indicated, total many pages of material on the topic), and with the probable exception of Roydhouse, the authors we are discussing (Stanislav, Brown, Kyle, VanHouten, and Shanafelt) had no prior relationship with AVATAR's creator and were all documenting something that they had, at their time of writing, no involvement in developing. We do not discount sources simply because the author may have telephoned someone connected with the subject in order to gather information, a practice that is routine in journalism and not uncommon in scientific and technical writing. —Psychonaut (talk) 15:27, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're missing the point. Stanislav is not an independent source. They are a software developer that works in close collaboration with the author of AVATAR, Wynn Wagner. The sources are technical documents about the software:

When I started working on my TinyTerm communications program, I had the idea that if Opus-CBCS could send the "oANSI" codes directly over the phone lines, it would speed up the communications considerably. A typical ANSI sequence contains 4 times as many bytes as the codes developed by Wynn Wagner. A phone call to Wynn resulted in two things: TinyTerm can interpret the "oANSI" codes and translate them to ANSI, then send them to stdout where they are converted to colors by ANSI.SYS [and] Opus-CBCS, starting with gamma version 1.10.iii, will send the codes without converting them to ANSI sequences. (It will still send ANSI codes to users without the proper terminal software.)

Even if you know absolutely nothing about software development, you obviously know that this is not written for the New York Times. These are two software developers working in close collaboration to decide how a piece of software should be implemented. Their relationship is not journalistic. The fact that Stanislav came up with the name of AVATAR further establishes that their relationship was not journalistic.

I also found this page written by Wynn Wagner that states "The last version of Opus that I wrote was v1.03. ... George Stanislav took over Opus development when I finally turned off my PC. He completed several utilities." It's not just about a single phone call: it's about a standing collaboration. HyperAccelerated (talk) 17:53, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and if you don't want to give us quotations from those other sources, the article will be deleted. The onus is on you to show significant coverage, and you haven't done that. If you don't want to complete your argument, I'm not going to stop you. You told users to download thousands of zip files onto their computer for fun, and you wrongly claimed that George Stanislav, a close collaborator of the author of AVATAR, was an independent journalist. Nobody here should trust what you're saying. HyperAccelerated (talk) 17:58, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete I can find a few articles in scholar that mention it, and amazingly the tech description (and/or code) can be found online, mostly at thebbs.org. As I recall there were BBS-specific magazines and a fair amount of BBS discussion in things like PC Magazine. But content from that era will be very hard to find. I'd be happy to !vote keep if something can be found. Lamona (talk) 16:39, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The PC Interrupts book has nearly a full page with technical specs and a small amount of explanation. It doesn't seem enough to create a stand-alone article, and doesn't cover some of the unreferenced statements in the article. I'm wondering if we can find a merge target, something like Bulletin board system or ANSI_escape_codes or Advanced Video Coding (or anything else appropriate). To User:HyperAccelerated: having a phone call or even working with someone does not mean that the source cannot be independent. Journalists interact with the subjects of their writings, sometimes intensely, and can still write independent stories. Knowing someone does not erase independence. Also, please be civil; at no time did User:Psychonaut tell anyone "to download thousands of zip files onto their computer for fun." WP:AGF, right? Lamona (talk) 23:48, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with any of those merge targets. I have also yet to see convincing evidence that Stanislav is a journalist. The literature I have found suggests that they are a close collaborator of the author of AVATAR. HyperAccelerated (talk) 04:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Morrisson (singer)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Musician and radio DJ. The claims of notability are a #15 Hot Dance Airplay song in 2006, and one of his songs playing at a club scene in an episode of a NBC TV show. Neither of these meet WP:NMUSIC. All content edits are by two accounts that never edited anything else on Wikipedia (except a deleted draft article on his band). One reference is to the charts for the #15 hit, the other is vague and to a magazine that mentions a lot of musicians in passing. Here2rewrite (talk) 18:37, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In my WP:BEFORE I couldn't find any significant coverage in reliable sources. Much of the coverage that there was was related to the subject's role as musical director of the Keystone State Boychoir, and only passing mention at that. I couldn't find any critical reviews of the Concert Mass that is referred to in the article, although its premiere was at Carnegie Hall [8].

Keep. I've rapidly added a few things that seem to show this is notable enough. Opposed to deletion as a redirect either to the adapted series or to the network or to a list seems completely warranted anyway. The fact that there are "thousands of Turkish TV series" (in the history of Turkish TV?) cannot be considered a reason to delete any of them, nor is the fact that they run for months or a year or two "only", sorry.-Mushy Yank. 02:05, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lokotrans Aréna

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article titled Lokotrans Aréna does not satisfy the notability requirements outlined in Wikipedia's guidelines, specifically WP:NSTADIUM and WP:GNG. The rationale for this deletion request is based on the principle of consistency in application of policies, as evidenced by the deletion of the Tarnobrzeg Municipal Stadium article. Below, I outline the reasons why the Lokotrans Aréna article should be removed: 1) The article provides minimal information, mostly focusing on basic facts about the stadium's capacity, location, and sponsorship history. Such details do not constitute significant coverage in independent, reliable secondary sources, which is required by WP:GNG. 2) The stadium does not stand out architecturally, historically, or culturally. It resembles numerous local sports facilities, which are typically deemed non-notable unless they meet the general notability criteria through substantial independent coverage. 3) The primary reference cited in the article is from the club's official website, which is not independent. This reliance on primary sources further undermines the claim of notability. 4) The deletion of the Tarnobrzeg Municipal Stadium article serves as a clear precedent. In that case, arguments were made that small local stadiums without significant independent coverage do not warrant standalone articles. The same reasoning applies to Lokotrans Aréna. Moreover, consistent enforcement of Wikipedia's policies ensures fairness and credibility. 5) Similar to the decision regarding Tarnobrzeg Municipal Stadium, I propose either a deletion or a redirection of the Lokotrans Aréna article to the FK Mladá Boleslav article. Any relevant information about the stadium can be integrated into the club's article, maintaining its visibility while adhering to Wikipedia's content guidelines. 6) Out of caution, I argue that it is irrelevant that the national team or Premier League of Czechia teams played at this stadium. This argument did not gain recognition in the case of the Tarnobrzeg stadium Paradygmaty (talk) 21:55, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As always, unelected candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — the inclusion bar at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, while unsuccessful candidates get articles only if they can be shown to already have preexisting notability for other reasons besides the candidacy. But this article as written is not properly demonstrating his notability as a non-profit executive, either: it's based almost entirely on primary sources that are not support for notability, such as content self-published by directly affiliated organizations and pieces of his own writing, while the only reliable source in the batch is just a glancing namecheck of his existence as a provider of soundbite in an article about something else rather than any evidence of coverage about him.

Postcolonial anarchism

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Two and a half years ago, Czar raised the article's synthetic scope over on the talk page, pointing out how the article was a "hodgepodge of various concepts [...] rather than any unified coverage of a singular concept". When I came across it, I concurred with this assessment, after finding that more than 2/3rds of the article was stringing together different concepts based on sources that never mentioned the subject.[19]

I think this is yet another "x anarchism" article from an older era of Wikipedia, when attempting to create new tendencies/philosophies out of passing uses of a term (or even just wholesale making shit up) was all the rage. Searching through sources about this term, I've only found passing references to Roger White's book Post Colonial Anarchism (see further reading section), none of which are substantial enough to even remake this article into one about the book.

As I'm not sure how to fix the scope of this article, as it doesn't appear to meet notability criteria and as I can't think of a suitable redirect target, I'm nominating this article for deletion. Grnrchst (talk) 10:59, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Czar: I think Ramnath's chapter of the Palgrave Handbook has the most to draw from, but even then her discussion of "postcolonial anarchism" is limited to two or three paragraphs. Unless there's something I'm missing, I think the most that could be gained from this is a perma-stub that could well be merged into the article on postcolonialism. --Grnrchst (talk) 14:00, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It may also be worth pointing out that the term "postcolonial anarchism" seems to have been absent from scholarly literature before this article was created in 2007.[20] --Grnrchst (talk) 14:05, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While the fighting in this area during 1994 and 1995 was significant, and the two-volume CIA history of the wars in the former Yugoslavia contains significant coverage of those later events, this fighting (if in fact it happened at all) in 1993 is not covered at all in that source. If it happened, then it could be covered by a couple of sentences in the Majevica front (1992-1995) article. As things stand, I can't even find proof in reliable sources that it happened.

Weak keep. While it could definitely be improved (judging from the AI use) and more reliable sources should be added, WP:ORGCRIT requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" for a company to be notable. I think the article's current citations suffice for this requirement. Additionally, this article was only created around two weeks ago; let it breathe a little more. Beachweak (talk) 12:42, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The coverage fall short of required threshold for WP:NCORP. The sources are PR articles and just two[32][33] appear to be independent with WP:SIGCOV but not sure of their reliability in terms of RS.

Comment Next to The DC Comics Encyclopedia, American Comics, Literary Theory, and Religion: The Superhero Afterlife also deals with Asmodel, but I believe both are plot summary. Which might suggest merging to List of DC Comics characters: A. Was there a WP:BEFORE search carried out and what where the results?

But to me another question is, if the DC version is actually the primary topic here, or if the original angel inspiring that character would be. If so, this article might be turned around to primarily cover the angel, and have a section for the DC character. The Dictionary of Angels has an entry on Asmodel. Daranios (talk) 11:08, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Admittedly I'm not sure on Angel notability since that is way outside of my coverage area, but we do have List of angels in theology as a potential AtD for this particular redirect if Asmodel is considered the primary topic over the DC character. Asmodel seems to have been removed from the list at some point in the past though, so it may be worth re-adding him in a light merge depending on what happens.

Keep - Having coverage from 2014 and 2024 establishes lasting notability. You claim that the coverage is "routine", but the vast majority of elephants don't receive widespread news coverage like this one, even when they die. If all elephants had this level of coverage it could be considered routine/normal, but they don't. EVENTCRITERIA also doesn't apply here because Kamala is an elephant, not an event. Even if this article was about the event of her death (which it is not), it still wouldn't be "routine coverage" because elephants with the same name as a major political figure dying within hours of a major political event and causing massive social media buzz is not a regular or common event. Di (they-them) (talk) 02:00, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Obituaries don't make someone (or something) notable. Day to day news announcements from a zoo do not add notability.

Merge to National Zoological Park (United States)#Notable animals. It's certainly not unusual for large zoo animals to receive some coverage, particularly about their death; the fact that her name brought additional attention doesn't mean this short-lived buzz establishes notability. Since the main article has a section specifically for cases like this, per WP:NOPAGE a standalone article is not needed. The 2014 coverage is about three elephants that came together, not specifically about Kamala so I don't think that's lasting. There's also National Zoological Park (United States)#Elephant Trails.

Over 6000 hits is not trivial. That you choose to ignore this is concerning. Grossman's "On Combat" alone contains at least three references to crew-served weapons according to the Google book search, and one of those ties back to SLA Marshall's "Men Against Fire."

Was actually gonna do this some time ago. Anyway, this article has no sources (and been like that for a few years) and looking for possible source and there doesn't seem to be anything prove this article can still be rewritten and kept. Their official website seems to have been taken down, or perhaps never existed in the first place.

William Franks (landowner)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

William Franks was a british landowner that helped in construction of Fitzrovia District, Percy Street, Rathbone Street and Charlotte Street. This article was marked for speedy deletion due to lack of importance in 2015 but was shortly unmarked to help the creator expand it. A lot of new information and sources were added since then but i still think its is not notable. Being a landowner in British Empire does not make him automatically notable.

Comment this is one of those really tragic cases where we have a genuine nice little story that's of interest, but it's in the wrong place. This article is basically a nice bit of local history research, but relies very, very heavily on primary sources of information. It should be published somewhere. But Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia based on secondary sources, not a place to publish research. I don't want to say delete because I enjoyed reading it, but it really, really doesn't belong here. Elemimele (talk) 16:47, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ - Disagree with the keep vote. The deletion rationale is clearly that this is not notable. It does not meet GNG because there are no secondary sources. Perversely, contrary to the keep !vote, it looks like we are actually thinking of keeping it because of WP:ILIKEIT. Or rather, we like the original research done by the writer of the page. And yes, that is a nice collation of the information from primary sources. I hope that Philafrenzy has a copy, and would suggest that a userfied copy be made available to them if this is deleted. But it is not an encyclopaedic page. This is the wrong project for this information. A site that could make use of much of this information would be Family Search, which allows user content to provide referenced primary source information about people. See [47]. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:25, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- If you look at this editor's other AfD nominations, the rationale is almost always essentially WP:IDONTLIKEIT, which is why most of them have been rejected out of hand. They have also stated that they nominate articles for AfD because it's "relaxing"! Comments like A lot of new information and sources were added since then but i still think its is not notable and Being a landowner in British Empire does not make him automatically notable (italics mine) tend to imply this rather than a decent, properly thought out reason. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:56, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I see that there were indeed rather a lot of nominations in quick succession, and that tends to overwhelm the effort at AfD. I am striking my delete in favour of a procedural/speedy keep. This was discussed recently in another context, and is sometimes allowed. My hope is that this will be closed as keep or no consensus with no prejudice against a better argued renomination (although perhaps not by the same nom.). My thoughts are unchanged. We don't have any secondary sources here, and this is the wrong project for histories synthesised from primary sources, but if we are going to take them down, let's do it in a more careful manner. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: While I understand the reasoning, I do not believe this qualifies for a speedy keep. The nomination mentions notability, and that is almost always the core argument in deletion discussions, and several comments indicate they don't think this should be an article even if they don't agree with the reasons presented in the nomination.

Comment. While not offering a specific recommendation right now (WP:BEFORE still ongoing), the SPA/COI/PROMO nature of the article's creation is somewhat difficult to overlook. Also, while I've found (and added) a handful of sources to address the otherwise almost entirely uncited body, none of these sources constitute WP:SIGCOV. A search for biographical sources returns only the types of WP:INTERVIEWS (common for most authors and not contributory to notability) and the types of "writers bio" written by publishers/distributors/etc (not WP:INDEPENDENT and therefore also not normally supportive of a notability claim). As the subject is Irish, I searched in the usual "mainstream" national news sources in Ireland (Irish Times, Irish Independent, Irish Examiner, RTÉ, etc) - and could find NOTHING AT ALL. As the subject is from County Waterford, I also looked in "local" Waterford news sources - and could only find this "listicle" - where the subject is only mentioned in passing. Will continue with BEFORE when I have time. But, as it stands, I can find nothing to support retention... Guliolopez (talk) 13:40, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
