Comment - PRODs are for uncontroversial deletions only. There is enough here to suggest the possibility of notability, and that deletion might not be uncontroversial, so more eyes on the article would be beneficial. See WP:PROD and WP:ATD. I have no other opinion on the article or the subject. Ingratis (talk) 18:21, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in the edit summary. Adding for awareness. Ingratis (talk) 19:09, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, this is uncontroversial as stated in the PROD summary. It squarely falls under WP:DEL-REASON as the subject doesn't meet notability guidelines. More than happy to go through the process with as many eyes as needed. While I haven't gone through this process as many times as others, usually when I encounter a WP:DEPROD there is some sort of evidence provided to counter the PROD which wasn't done here so it's outside what I've typically experienced.

Apr2001, Vol. 10 Issue 4, p134 and a couple of others. Far from significant coverage, but suggest that such coverage might exist if the right sources were searched.

Regan Oey

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

I'm not convinced that the article on this former child actor demonstrates that he meets WP:NACTOR, WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. I came across this as an unsourced BLP last August, at which point it was already tagged with notability as an issue. I added five refs and changed the notability tag to be more specific. Oey has only had one lead role so doesn't meet the criterion on NACTOR about multiple significant roles, and there is not much coverage of him. Article has recently been expanded, refs added and the notability tag removed. I am still unsure that he meets GNG. Five of the new refs do not mention Oey.

BLP article about a voice actor that appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:GNG. I've been unable to find any significant coverage (let alone in independent reliable sources.) Refs are only mentions among cast lists for multiple programs, this short interview on a user-generated fansite that is not about the actor, and this confirmation that his name was included as a foley artist in the list of names for a sound editing Emmy nomination for a tv show. Still doesn't appear to meet notability criteria as found in the previous AFD deletion. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 21:50, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GBIF calls this "doubtful" and COL says only "potentially valid". I think it may be WP:TOOSOON to have this as an article. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:10, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Organisms-related deletion discussions. UtherSRG (talk) 18:10, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think this may be a misinterpretation. AFAIK "potentially valid" is the ground state of validity, and the majority of accepted species are so described (the ICNZN glossary defines it as An available name which is not objectively invalid). The Global Lepidoptera Index has no problem with the taxon, and that is the source that we normally defer to for this group. So we are left with GBIF stating that there is an Orthographic variant and Published earlier than parent name, without seeming to provide any further details. For a species that has been described either 100 or 200 years ago, I think I would want to see better evidence of issues before pulling the article, thus I'd say keep based on present information. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:40, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Following a recent AfD closed as "no consensus", one editor has consistently refused to accept that consensus. Little has changed in the article in the last month or so, but perhaps a second AfD will reach a wider audience and a more convincing conclusion. The article is marked for SPIP and peacocking.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 600

Keep In general, I would say that all UNSC resolutions are per se notable, but it is not completely unreasonable to ask the question from time to time regarding specific ones (although notwithstanding some WP:BEFORE, please, and bearing in mind that the state of an article does not bear upon notability WP:NEXIST). In this specific circumstance, at the time Nauru was not a member of the UN, which meant it could not access the ICJ without special procedure under advisement of the UNSC to the UNGA. Without this resolution, recommending the conditions the the general assembly should adopt in inviting Nauru to become a state party to the ICJ, Nauru would not ulimately have been able to bring its case against Australia two years later regarding the impact of phosphate mining; Certain Phosphate Lands in Nauru. So there is a certain degree of exceptionalism to this particular resolution (as there is in fact usually with all of them). Further background on the resolution here: [6].

Merge and redirect to Nauru or suitable target.
@Goldsztajn makes essentially an WP:ITSIMPORTANT argument which can be summarized as being that the resolution led to the accession to the ICJ, which led to the Phosphate case. Which is appealing, except that there seems to be nobody drawing the connection between the UNSC's actions in 1987 and the filing of the suit a few years later. Meaning, for example, a search for (phosphate and nauru and "international court of justice") gets many hits but adding "resolution 600" gets no hits.
If further sources can be found, happy to reconsider but at this point this article seems likely to contribute about a sentence or two to the Nauru article which is about as much as it demonstrably deserves. Oblivy (talk) 10:58, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All UNSC resolutions have an effect in internartional law, they form part of the analysis of many aspects of studies of international law. In the case of UNSC resolution 600, the significance is the fact that to date only five countries have become state party to the ICJ statute without being members of the UN. The sourcing already posted about discusses the specific elements relevant to Nauru. Robert Kolb's "The International Court of Justice" (2014) specifically discusses the general circumstances that led to UNSC Resolution 600 (and the others preceeding it). This is also discussed in Zimmerman et al's "The Statute of the International Court of Justice: A Commentary" (2019). The resolution is discussed in Cesare Romano's "The Peaceful Settlement of International Environmental Disputes" (2000). Finally, see Ramon E. Reyes Jr's 1996 article "Nauru v. Australia: The International Fiduciary Duty and the Settlement of Nauru's Claims for Rehabilitation of Its Phosphate Lands" in the New York Law School Journal of International and Comparative Law (Vol. 16, No.s 1&2, p.20): "According to Article 93(2) of the Charter, a state that is not a member of the United Nations may become a party to the Statute on conditions "determined by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council." After such a recommendation, 'the General Assembly accepted Nauru as a party to the Statute of the ICJ. As a party to the Statute, Nauru was able to bring suit against Australia in the ICJ." Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 22:42, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You make a good argument, which I accept, about the importance of this process that gave Nauru the ability to invoke ICJ jurisdiction. The article is about Resolution 600, however, which is a short statement acknowledging the result. The context and process are not addressed. I looked at Reyes and Romano which discuss the process but not the resolution. For the other two, I've done what should be full-text searches at Google Scholar (article partial title and "resolution 600") and I am not seeing hits.
An article on the phosphate case would be of value to the Wikipedia, and the ICJ-membership story could be part of that, but on ordinary notability principles I don't see this article as a keep. Oblivy (talk) 07:56, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There's SIGCOV in multiple RS, the GNG is clearly satisfied. I may not have understood you properly, but notability is not based on an assessment of whether "context and process are not addressed", it is based on the existence of sourcing, not the state of the article. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 03:47, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you did misunderstand, or I didn't explain clearly, or both. My point about the "context and process" was that your citations above are about the chain of events that led to Nauru joining and bringing the phosphate case. The article subject -- the resolution -- is a link in that chain of events not discussed in significant detail in multiple RS's.

Northwestern Proto-Indo-European language

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

To quote User:Austronesier, who is a professional linguist: 90% of the article is SYNTH, OR, Y-haplo-cruft. Obviously in good faith, but mostly amateurish. The very title "Northwestern Proto-Indo-European language" is a giveaway for the amateurishness of the whole thing: if NW IE is a thing, the common ancestor of the subgroup should be "Proto-Northwestern Indo-European". When stripped of OR and SYNTH, it doesn't pass GNG. While the idea of some kind of NW IE has been occasionally brought up by scholars, its scope varies from author to author, so there is hardly SIGCOV for a coherent topic. [7] I concur with his assessment that this grouping is rarely discussed in the academic literature on PIE (thus making it unworthy of a standalone article), and that this article suffers from unfixable SYNTH issues.

Strong keep, I was able to confirm that Maher Abbas the Olympian and Maher A. Abbas the ~~acclaimed Stanford cardiologist~~ (surgeon) are the same person and added to the IP editor's claim with that. Abbas' work and books have been cited in at least 36 different articles on newspapers.com, some going into detail about his life, see for example "Olive oil full of healthy fats". Iowa City Press-Citizen. 16 Aug 2000. p. 21. Retrieved 2 February 2025. and "Tuscan oil cream of the crop but don't disregard the others Continued from page C1". The Toronto Star. 20 Oct 1993. p. 42. Retrieved 2 February 2025.. The assertion in nominator statement that Abbas doesn't meet SPORTCRIT isn't true because of the provided cite, and GNG is met making the subject-specific notability guidelines moot anyways. Edit: See below for coverage as an athlete, the sources confirm he's a surgeon but not a cardiologist. --Habst (talk) 04:55, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
the links in the article describe him as a "colorectal and gastrointestinal surgeon" with zero mention of being a cardiologist in his experience listing. Is that the same person as the Stanford cardiologist you refer to? Cardiology is a completely different speciality. LibStar (talk) 04:59, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
this source about Tuscan oil I would not regard as WP:SIGCOV, it's a few lines mentioning Abbas in a larger article and quoting him rather than coverage about him. LibStar (talk) 05:07, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No you have not "confirmed" that the colorectal surgeon and cardiologist are the same person! None of the sources suggest this. The Scopus profile of the surgeon makes no mention of any cardiology work (which would be unheard of for a colorectal surgeon...), and the Anavara page says he only got his MD at Stanford and did his residency and practiced elsewhere, so would never be called a "Stanford" anything. The 1993 article would put him as a practicing cardiologist at 27 years old, which would mean completing medical school at 21 at the latest, all in the midst of training and competing as an Olympic athlete. JoelleJay (talk) 07:18, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks JoelleJay. I think the strong keep is looking weak, by providing sources for a completely different person. LibStar (talk) 08:09, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@LibStar @JoelleJay, just to be clear, you think that there are two different "Maher Abbas" who are both Lebanese, studied at Stanford University at around the same time, and happen to work in the medical field? Because we know that at least one Maher Abbas who did all of those things is the Olympic athlete and article subject.

In the 1980s, most Olympic athletes were still amateurs who didn't train full time, so yes, it's entirely plausible he was a medical student while competing. --Habst (talk) 14:26, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously he is not both a colorectal surgeon and a cardiologist! JoelleJay (talk) 22:14, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the 2 sources that confirm he is a colorectal surgeon and not a cardiologist appear to be primary or a database. I don't think he meets notability based on his medical career. LibStar (talk) 08:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@LibStar, here's another article that talks about him going to medical school and nonetheless covers his athletic career enough to meet SIGCOV:

"Student to Participate In Olympics For Lebanon". The Atlanta Journal. 8 Sep 1988. p. 140. Retrieved 3 February 2025. "Abbas From Page 8". The Atlanta Journal. 8 Sep 1988. p. 143. Retrieved 3 February 2025.

Given that SIGCOV is met based solely on the athletic achievements, it seems like the identity issue, which again I think it would be highly unlikely that there are two Lebanese "Maher Abbas" in the medical field that studied at Stanford at the same time, would be a content dispute that can be resolved on the talk page unrelated to the deletion discussion. --Habst (talk) 16:02, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why doesn't his current profile not list any cardiology in his experience? I strongly contest this Maher Abbas is both the same cardiologist and colorectal surgeon. There is insufficient evidence to say they are the same person. LibStar (talk) 22:06, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

He was a college senior in 1988. The idea that he became a practicing cardiologist by 1993 is laughable. JoelleJay (talk) 22:21, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay @LibStar, that's fine, I've struck the cardiologist cites as we have SIGCOV clearly about the athlete anyways. Thanks for your fact checking on this. --Habst (talk) 00:34, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have WP:THREE good sources that cover Abbas? LibStar (talk) 00:06, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Literally for all the reasons of the last delete.

Theres so much speculation (from the year it happened, to if there was even a battle...) on this page/little information that brings WP:GNG into account because there's very little coverage/accurate information on it. Noorullah (talk) 07:14, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The last AfD had limited participation and was based on an underdeveloped, poorly written article. However, that is not the case now. The nominator's rationale is unclear on how it fails SIGCOV and GNG when the sources have dedicated at least two pages to the event [11][12] (excluding background and aftermath). Garuda ^Talk! 12:04, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Garudam My view is from the significant coverage guideline;

""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." -- While the topic is covered (by the few books cited on the page), the speculation on whether a battle even happened, the years difference is alarming. I think there's just not enough information on the topic. Noorullah (talk) 17:05, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How are the two pages of coverage considered trivial mentions? Moreover, the speculation is not even about whether the battle occurred or not. All I see are speculations about the dates, which have already been addressed in a separate subsection. This should not be a reason for deletion. Garuda ^Talk! 17:11, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I took a look at the sources for this battle. There are no significant sources for it and it does not seem notable enough to have been covered properly outside of Wikipedia. Of the sources given, only one really covers the "battle", but does not give it a name. The article goes beyond those sources and strays into original or at least uncited research. Given the lack of evidence the battle has received significant attention from independent sources, my view is it is not notable enough for Wikipedia and it should be deleted.

The nominator is correct that rationale of HMJ Navin Chawla deletion logic should be followed for consistency.

OPPOSE: The second link is a word to word copy paste from the hon'ble judge's official CV on the Delhi High Court website (so irrelevant). The first link is a routine listing because the "roster" of the Delhi High Court changes every 6 months, and in 2024 the hon'ble judge was routinely assigned IP cases, as was also the other judge named. The Delhi High Court decides most of the complex IP cases of India, so this is a busman award for driving busses. FYI, HMJ Ms. Pratibha Singh is acknowledged to be the foremost IP judge of the Delhi High Court.

Keep She meets WP:NJUDGE as a member of the Delhi High Court: "The Judges of High Court of Delhi (other than the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court) are appointed by the President by warrant under his hand and seal after consultation with the Chief Justice of India, and on the recommendation of the Chief Justice of the High Court of Delhi." RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:24, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

COMMENT: That is only in theory. In practice judges are either elevated from the Delhi Higher Judicial Services after serving as District judges, or handpicked lawyers are discreetly approached to be additional judges of the court. The actual decision is taken by a 5 member collegium of Supreme Court judges in an opaque and discretionary fashion involving horse trading, favouritism and nepotism. The President of India is a rubber stamp (unlike the US of A's). So IMHO Wikipedia can either have well researched articles on all judges of all High Courts or none.

Delete Over half the sources cited onpage are self published (directly or indirectly) primary sources. There is no significant coverage independent of the judgments she delivers routinely as a working judge. Nothing in the article (as it stands currently) shows anything extraordinary or especially notable about this judge compared to her brother judge HMJ Navin Chawla whose very similar article was voted to be deleted. WP:NJUDGE by itself does not confer notability, it is merely an initial screening filter to weed out lesser judges, notability has to be established by significant independent coverage from reliable sources. Lastly by having articles about persons who possess power to threaten the encyclopedia you run the risk of justifying hugely problematic sentences like "She became the Senior Advocate in 2011" अधिवक्ता संतोष (talk) 18:08, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional ship from TV show Gilligan's Island. Very weak, almost non-existent WP:GNG. The article is a plot summary with a single nod to reality outside the fact that it appears in that show, i.e. a brief comment that someone bought the ship, is restoring it and planning to use it as a local tourist attraction.

Adelante (1902)

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

This article has existed as a stub, more-or-less unchanged, for more than a decade. The only information this article provides is that the newspaper existed for less than a year and that it had a rivalry with a socialist newspaper in the same city. The cited sources give only passing mentions of the paper, and I haven't been able to find anything else on this newspaper (although that may be complicated by the fairly generic name of the newspaper). It seems to me that this article fails to meet notability standards for periodicals. Short of merging the trivial details in this article into the one on La Voz del Pueblo, I don't see any good targets for merging/redirecting this, so I'm proposing it for deletion.

Keep Wikipedia is intended to be an encyclopaedia. If it were an essay repository, then the argument that this article article has existed as a stub, more-or-less unchanged, for more than a decade would be a valid reason for deletion; but it is not. When people are doing research, an encyclopaedia that allows the user to look up things like Adelante is useful. We need to be aware of recentism (a.k.a. nowism), which produces an article imbalance. If this newspaper had existed in 2022-23 there would be far more online sources readily available to editors seeking to improve the article. But with a newspaper that existed in 1902-03, most of those sources only exist in paper or microfilm format, and can only be found in the real world, and then only with a lot of time and effort.-- Toddy1 (talk) 14:39, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not finding much about him. I note that Australian reports of the 1925 All Blacks matches often refer to him as "A. Mattson" - perhaps he used his middle name? The National Library of New Zealand has info that was a Bank officer with the National Bank of New Zealand, Auckland, and on the Executive Council of NZ Bank Officers' Guild in 1939. [21] (not that that would contribute to notability, but would round out a bio). In Papers Past, the NZ digitised newspapers, there are an article about an Alfred Mattson who was a champion dirt track rider selected for the Tourist Trophy Races on the Isle of Man in 1933 [22], and in 1935 a mention that Alfred Mattson held the NZ record for 500cc machines [23]. If that is the same person, perhaps some motor bike racing wins or records would add to his notability - someone may know or find more about that.

Given the band were mostly active >50 years ago, failed to top the NZ singles chart solely due to being pipped to the post by David Bowie, played the Great Ngaruawahia Music Festival along with Black Sabbath, and beat one of NZ's biggest musical exports in a televised music contest, it is not unreasonable to presume further sources do exist.

Keep, I found several articles in Al Anwar covering Kawas including the fact that he was a cross country champion, not previously in the article. There's more at [24] under his Arabic name I'll have to comb through but I wanted to get this out first. The nominating statement says that SPORTCRIT isn't met, but it's actually fulfilled by the found coverage, which combined with WP:NATH (being a national champion) makes this a candidate to keep based on policy. --Habst (talk) 05:13, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Which "found coverage" is significant? The source for his cross country championship says "Runner Bassam Kawas won the title", which is under no circumstances SIGCOV. It also doesn't say it's the "1992 Lebanese Cross Country Championships", it says "Lebanese Open Cross-Country Championship", and anyway winning a national title in athletics only suggests coverage if the subject has been ranked in the top 60 on the IAAF world leading list at the end of a given calendar year, which I don't see evidence for. JoelleJay (talk) 07:38, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, the newspaper coverage amounts to SIGCOV because it can be combined per WP:BASIC. Because "open" in the context of athletics just means "open to all age groups", and the newspaper article was discussing the 1992 race, it's accurate to say that Kawas won the 1992 Lebanese XC championships, I worded it that way to match that of the other articles in Category:National cross country running competitions. Kawas ranked 53rd in the 800m at the '92 Olympics administered by the IAAF, but the subject specific notability guidelines are irrelevant if GNG is met anyways.
Because you know Arabic, can you post your interpretations of the other Al Anwar matches here or look for others, because the archive.org Arabic scans don't always get the flow of text correct? --Habst (talk) 14:12, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You know that SPORTSCRIT requires a citation to a source containing SIGCOV. I will not explain this to you for the 30th time.
And no, the burden is on you to show the coverage you claim establishes notability. Single-sentence mentions and routine stats are worthless, so whatever you paste better be a lot more than that. JoelleJay (talk) 23:42, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have a lot of respect for your contributions and hope you can extend me the same – Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that we work together to improve. I found the subject's native name and several newspaper articles about the subject in a language I don't speak, but the machine translations look promising to me. Do the Al Anwar matches here not constitute SIGCOV and thus fulfill SPORTCRIT? I'm happy to add the info to the article once we can get some good translations. --Habst (talk) 00:52, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
YOU need to paste exactly what you think is SIGCOV of this athlete. Search results do not demonstrate SIGCOV and do not satisfy SPORTCRIT, which requires a citation to a specific source. I am not going to waste my time writing up a source analysis for a bunch of search results that you are too whatever to even look at yourself, that is outrageously entitled. JoelleJay (talk) 01:09, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, Wikipedia P&Gs don't necessitate pasting text in a language I admit I don't understand, they actually say the opposite at WP:NEXISTS, by which we can presume notability by simply knowing that sources exist. I linked several textual matches from a reliable source in Al Anwar, so we know that these exist and it's valid for me to use NEXISTS for that reason.

I've done my best with machine translation and I even added a fact to the article based on one of the cites from An-Nahar here: "Annahar , 1992, Lebanon, Arabic" (in Arabic). Retrieved 4 February 2025., but the OCR isn't perfect. I don't know what else I can do without the help of a native speaker. Can you help if you know the language? --Habst (talk) 01:33, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You have zero evidence that any of these sources are suitable and notability-indicating, and NEXIST does not "presume notability" at all anyway. And that source is the same utterly trivial six words of coverage from earlier, clearly not SIGCOV.
I don't read Arabic, you have the same access to translation tools as I have. Do your own work. JoelleJay (talk) 06:25, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, both Al Anwar and An-Nahar are both reputable newspapers, there's no evidence at WP:RSP that their suitability has ever been contested, in fact An-Nahar has been cited twice as a reputable source Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 430#Tahawolat a reliable Arabic journal looks like this An-Nahar and Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_405 An-Nahar, a reputable daily newspaper in Lebanon, known for its reliable reporting.

I thought you could read Arabic because of the comments about "Lebanese Open Cross-Country Championship" above, which were about the specific wording. Invoking WP:NEXIST is warranted here, and I'm open to incorporating more data from those sources as soon as we have a good transcription. It's not just about translation tools here, because the archive.org OCR effectively makes deciphering large blocks of text from these newspapers very difficult unless you know how to read the source text. --Habst (talk) 17:22, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Let me get this straight: you are interpreting NEXIST as referring to the existence of any coverage, no matter how trivial, in RS, rather than the existence of notability-establishing ("suitable") coverage in RS? So, to you, someone having any RS coverage at all is enough to presume the subject is notable.....?
I've explained to you before how to copy-paste archive.org snippets of Arabic text into Google Translate. Yes it takes some effort if you want to expand the snippet beyond what is provided; if you aren't willing to do this to prove a given hit is SIGCOV, then don't claim any of those hits are SIGCOV! JoelleJay (talk) 18:26, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, I don't think that's what NEXIST means and it's not how it's being invoked here. NEXIST is based on probability, because when you don't have the sources, the only thing you can do is say the likelihood of them existing. So how can we establish that notability-indicating ("suitable") sources exist with a high degree of certainty? Here's a checklist for this specific instance:

There are several text hits for the name. Are they mentioned in the context of athletics, i.e. referring to the subject? Yes, as far as I can tell. Are they part of advertisements? No, not based on the translated snippets. Are they trivial mentions? It doesn't seem that way from the translated snippets either, i.e. part of paragraphs, and keep in mind after a name is mentioned once it may be mentioned after using only the surname which wouldn't show as a text match.

Given that, yes it's valid to say that sources exist and I have linked the search result to them above. I actually already machine-translated all the matches but due to inaccurate OCR, the text is garbled and nonsensical when translated and copy/pasting doesn't fix the OCR issues. At some point, you have to rely on having a native speaker. --Habst (talk) 19:46, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
NEXIST is there solely to make sure people are basing their assessment of notability on the sources they can find rather than only on the ones cited in the article. It is not supposed to be used to presume notability, and it definitely does not suggest that you can use unassessed search hits to assert that SIGCOV is likely.
If you think a six-word sentence in a routine results announcement isn't trivial coverage then you should not be evaluating sportsperson notability. JoelleJay (talk) 20:51, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, yes, that's exactly how I'm using NEXIST in this discussion. I'm not sure how you can say that the 1992 An-Nahar snippet is only six words considering we have no access to the text on the rest of the page, and when I translate it based on the OCR the text comes out non-sensical. --Habst (talk) 21:43, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We can be sure that it is a trivial mention, because the context is clearly routine results announcements! The translations are coming out garbled because they're literally uncontextualized sports stats rather than prose. JoelleJay (talk) 23:07, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, not all are sports stats, as you've shown below, and even paragraphs of content have shown up with unreliable character recognition for me. We also need to look for mentions of the last name قواص on the pages, because often times a full name is only mentioned once and we only have the context immediately surrounding that. --Habst (talk) 00:39, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And for the record, I have translated all the search results and not a single one goes beyond a trivial passing mention, even when searching for just his surname. These were the only ones that had full sentences of prose:
Jump 1- Gaby Issa El Khoury (Al-Jammour) 0 meters. Runner: -1 Philippe Bejjani (Al-Jammour) 1.80. 00 meters: 1 Bassam Kawas (Al-Ansar) 10.41.01 minutes. He came in second. The Federation chose the runner Bassam Kawas to represent Lebanon in the Olympic Games, hoping that the Federation would also choose the runner Charbel Abi Tayeh...
The Mariamite Club Dik Al-Mahdi achieved a double victory in the Lebanese Open Cross-Country Championship for men and women; by taking first place in the race. Runner Bassam Kawas won the title of Lebanese champion for men and runner Solange Abi Ghosn won the title of Lebanese champion for women.

JoelleJay (talk) 23:50, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, thanks for your work translating these. There were 11 newspaper hits, so what can you see in the others? Part of my difficulty in translating these is that I can only get the text immediately surrounding my search term, and even then it's often garbled for a non-Arabic reader.

Is it possible that this sports administrator is him, shown here being interviewed for a Lebanese TV programme? --Habst (talk) 00:48, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The others are lists and stats, as should be apparent from the format the original text is in. I also searched his last name in every one of them. There is zero reason to expect anything more substantial than routine results coverage exists. And no I am not going to watch some facebook-hosted interview in Arabic because it doesn't matter whether it's him or not, it's unusable for GNG and would not suggest further coverage exists. JoelleJay (talk) 01:03, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, based on the characteristics (see above, name present in prose, not only part of lists, likely more than mentions), combined with the fact that several hits are probably missing due to poor digitization of the text, I don't agree that only routine results coverage exists of this person. The fact that an interview is hosted on Facebook isn't at all disqualifying because Facebook isn't the publisher of the interview -- the Lebanese TV programme LFC Sports is. Many recent article hits (in Arabic) seem to be related to this position, so it's worth looking into. --Habst (talk) 13:35, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We know they are not more than mentions. Every single hit occurs within stats or lists, even the prose ones. They do not refer to him again later in the page because again, these are routine results announcements, not articles. NSPORT requires you to cite a source that we know for a fact has SIGCOV, that is absolutely not achieved with trivial mentions and totally baseless assertions that we can presume any further coverage exists. JoelleJay (talk) 19:06, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, how can we know that they're not more than mentions without even having access to the entire page of digitized text, given the OCR issues and the fact that we both can't read the language?

Subject-specific notability guidelines like NSPORT are irrelevant if GNG is met, which can be fulfilled by NEXISTS. I haven't made any baseless assertions, I've actually linked full TV interviews and newspaper articles from reputable sources that we know cover the subject – demonstrating that suitable sources do exist. --Habst (talk) 20:57, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We have access to the entire text. We know that his surname doesn't appear elsewhere on those pages outside of trivial mentions.
You have not linked a single source of SIGCOV. He meets neither SPORTCRIT nor GNG. How many times does this need to be repeated? You are insisting that his name merely appearing in newspapers that you can't figure out how to read means that they must be discussing him in further detail on those pages, while somehow not ever mentioning his surname again, and despite the context obviously being things like "Mithal Sahmarani (Al-Ansar), Bassam Kawas (Al-Ansar), Bilal Hathof (Al-Ansar)" and literal bullet-point lists. TV interviews of him are not secondary coverage and can be dismissed outright.

@JoelleJay, would you be in a position to now cast a !vote in this AfD? LibStar (talk) 05:05, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JoelleJay, You have not linked a single source of SIGCOV -- I don't agree with this (I've linked multiple) but more importantly this is a misunderstanding of the notability policy, which explicitly does not require links so long as it can be demonstrated that coverage exists otherwise.

If we have access to the entire page of text, then please paste or link the entire transcript. The archive.org full-text links don't preserve the flow of text, and search results only digitize the snippet of text directly surrounding the matching term. Without this access and without knowing the language, a source analysis would be impossible to perform.

The linked TV interview can also be considered secondary (non-primary) coverage, per Wikipedia policy and echoed by this comment from an administrator Special:Diff/1245933378: My personal (editor, not admin) POV is that if X media outlet chooses to interview someone, there's something there. [...] Is Ojala (or anyone in comparable position) being interviewed as a matter of post match interviews, or is it more substantive? Because the interview isn't only about a match, it has to be considered as part of coverage. --Habst (talk) 13:02, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. SPORTSCRIT requires sportsperson articles cite a source of IRS SIGCOV in addition to meeting GNG. Not a single such source has been identified. The refdump above has nothing but routine sports announcements; of the ones that are even in prose, I have provided the surrounding text demonstrating their triviality. His last name does not appear outside of brief passing mentions. A subject talking about himself in an interview is, obviously, not independent or secondary coverage of him (no, one editor's unsupportable opinion in some other AfD does not reflect "policy", much less overturn actual policy stating interviews are primary) and does not at all suggest additional coverage exists—this is on top of the fact that the interviewee, a youth soccer coach talking about coaching youth soccer, has not even been positively identified as the same person as this middle-distance runner (and the interview is hosted on a facebook page with no evidence of being from an independent RS news source!).

Ju-Jitsu International Federation

I believe a discussion is well needed after the appearance of many standalone pages of Iranian Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes. (See:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reza Shafiei) I just uncovered a massive issue in wikipedia when talking about Ju-jitsu. For example, Ju-jitsu at the 2014 Asian Beach Games, Jujutsu at the 2013 World Combat Games and Ju-Jitsu World Championships, the Ju-jitsu is "Men's ne-waza". That's the loophole. Ju Jitsu (Newaza) is exactly Brazilian jiu-jitsu. See Jujutsu#Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and explained here by the subject's website itself https://jjif.sport/jiu-jitsu. Now that we established that they showcases Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/JJ ne-waza matches (See:2024 Ju jitsu World Championship Greece) we can address that the level for their Ju-jitsu ne-waza is not recognized at all.[25] The consensus in the Jiu-Jitsu world is that World IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship & ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship are the biggest Jiu-Jitsu events in the world with ADCC being commonly referred to as "the Olympics of grappling". Competing or getting a medal in the Ju-Jitsu World Championships for example, can be easily confused as a "world championship" win in Jiu-Jitsu, but the "Ju-Jitsu International Federation" is not even close to be regarded as a top Jiu-Jitsu. (Even highly competitive Jiu-Jitsu events such as NAGA have been deleted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/North American Grappling Association for lack of independent coverage.) The organization has had notability issues since 2012/2013. [User:Lekkha Moun|Lekkha Moun]] ([[[User talk:Lekkha Moun|talk]]) 09:28, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Keep This is an international federation recognized by few organizations like GAISF (now AIMS), IWGA, OCA and probably few more. it's not just a random organization made by a private company or few individuals. They have few ju-jitsu styles under their umbrella, Fighting, Duo, Ne-waza. maybe some of their competitions are for amateurs but the federation itself is notable enough. if you google JJIF you can find enough coverage in other websites. even the IOC covers some of their competitions. Sports2021 (talk) 23:04, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you about the other sport they host. I wanted to highlight and leave traces of a discussion about their BJJ/JJ ne-waza activities for future references, because BJJ is becoming a massive sport worldwide. If we keep this article, we sports contributors need to make a distinction between BJJ accomplishments in BJJ athletes. If we conclude that Ju-Jitsu International Federation is notable, it doesn't mean their BJJ/JJ newaza is.

Keep Boy Scouts and Boy Scout are two related but distinct concepts. Boy Scouts refers to the umbrella of organizations within Scouting whereas Boy Scout refers to the individual member, usually called a Scout. To prevent confusing crossovers, anything referring to or containing "Boy Scout" (singular) should remain on Boy Scout (disambiguation) whereas anything referring to "Boy Scouts" (e.g. organizations related to the movement) should be on Boy Scouts. The pages should have a hatnote referencing the other DAB page. I think merging the two would make things more confusing. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 19:38, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP1E. He was one of the journalists who were targeted by the Pakistani government in 2023 under some controversial charges. Most of the sources that discuss those arrests don't talk about Pirzada in any significant depth, which is why most of his career is sourced to primary sources in this article.

Keep. Pirzada appears to be a notable TV host, and his legal troubles go beyond WP:BLP1E. He was arrested in 2015; news coverage of that arrest described him as a "renowned TV anchorperson". A former Indian Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju called him an "eminent Pakistani journalist" while responding to a speech of Pirzada's. His departure from Pakistan seems to have been widely covered. [28] [29] [30]. There are a number of other news stories on Google News about him.

@Jfire: https://arynews.tv/moeed-pirzada-leaves-pakistan/ seems to be a carbon copy of the Daily Times source I dismissed below as too sparse. The ANI piece is useless for notability (wrong subject). https://indicanews.com/justice-markandey-katju-moeed-pirzadas-garrison-state-speech-in-alabama/ is hardly about Pirzada, instead being a criticism of the Pakistani military (and it's an op-ed to boot). The Nation and Dawn look okay as sources, though The Nation is certainly the weaker source of the two. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 17:21, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I stand by my assessment that Pirzada is notable as a Pakistani journalist. The lede of the ANI piece is Islamabad [Pakistan], October 31 (ANI): Senior Pakistan journalist Moeed Pirzada has left the country and reached the United Kingdom (UK), media reports said on Sunday amid an ongoing row surrounding the mysterious death of a popular Pakistani journalist in Kenya. Jfire (talk) 17:32, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jfire: The lede doesn't matter much when 85-90% of the article afterward discusses the situation since Sharif's takeover and the only other mention of Pirzada is a quote that name-drops him at the very end of the article. There's literally nothing there to cite that would help the article. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 17:35, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Moeed Pirzada is a prominent politics investigative journalist from Pakistan and has been in the media industry as senior anchor & columnist for over 16 years. He already had wikipedia page for years on wikipedia but recently the page was deleted after years being on wikipedia, deleted specially after he became a victim of Pakistan Regime 2022 with several other Pakistani journalists. The previous wikipedia page deletion shows how current administration does not want him to be a public figure, I believe even the previous deletion of his page was against freedom of information. He is being targeted by current administration in Pakistan. After being banned from entering Pakistan and banned on mainstream media, he choose to spread his voice using social media and currently have over 3 million people follow him with over 30 million active views. He also conducted interview with former British Prime Minister. QuantumThread (talk) 23:58, 29 January 2025 (UTC)— QuantumThread (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete and salt. There are shenanigans going on with this page (see the creator of Draft:Moeed Pirzada removing the G4 deletion template and copy-paste-moving the draft page's content into this page simultaneously). But even without the shenanigans, this subject does not clear WP:GNG or WP:NBIO for a standalone page. Almost all of these sources are to Pirzada's own writings or to other non-independent sources.

He started vlogging and using new media as an alternative to traditional legacy media.

@Aqsa Qambrani: Spamming arguments does you no good. We do not accept notability-by-osmosis as a valid argument, so everything about his collaborations and who he interviewed means literally nothing as far as notability goes. And while there are source that do verify he was threatened and went into hiding, those sources otherwise don't say anything about him specifically, which is a very serious problem for the article's chances. In fact, I'm going to straight-up Bastard Helper From Hell the sources in the article in order to rebut your argument:

We can't use https://pakistaninsiders.wordpress.com/category/sochta-pakistan/ (no editorial oversight). Random, unattributed Wordspot blog.
https://video.dunyanews.tv/index.php/en/pv/tonight-with-dr-moeed-pirzada/14090 is useless for notability (connexion to subject). He was directly involved in its creation. Get used to seeing this particular judgment.
https://islamabadliteraturefestival.com/speakers/moeed-pirzada/ is useless for notability (connexion to subject). I doubt the Oxford University Press would have an article on a random author unless they were publishing his work.
https://www.voanews.com/amp/pakistan-urged-to-drop-absurd-mutiny-charges-against-journalists/7137691.html is useless for notability (wrong subject). Article is about the suppression of journalism in Pakistan, and says nothing significant about Pirzada other than that he is one of the targets. Of the three times his name appears in this piece, two of them are quotes.
We can't use https://dunyanews.tv/amp/english/758335.php (too sparse). Practically too short to cite, not helped by the piece being written in a hideously redundant manner.
https://www.sipa.columbia.edu/alumni is a non-sequitur.
We can't use https://www.urdupoint.com/profiles/moeed-pirzada-185.html (unknown provenance, too sparse). Uncredited profile with barely anything worth citing on it.
https://moeedpirzada.pk/profile-2/ - and anything else on moeedpirzada.pk - is useless for notability (connexion to subject).
We can't use any of the four YouTube channel links (connexion to subject, website homepage).
We can't use https://www.khaleejtimes.com/search?q=Author+Moeed+Pirzada (too sparse). We don't cite search results. Same applies to https://tribune.com.pk/author/1719/moeed-pirzada , https://www.nation.com.pk/columnist/moeed-pirzada and https://dailytimes.com.pk/writer/dr-moeed-pirzada/
https://www.britishcouncil.pk/programmes/society/next-generation is a non-sequitur.
https://ipripak.org/potential-of-pakistans-soft-power-and-public-diplomacy/ is useless for notability (too sparse). This is basically an extended quote/attribution of views to him and doesn't say anything about Pirzada specifically beyond paraphrasing his presentation. That isn't anywhere close to enough.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi27MzgIu-I is useless for notability (connexion to subject). Note that TED Talks are, as a general rule, glorified op-eds.
All three of the State Department sources are useless for notability (connexion to subject, gov't document). All are transcripts of interviews he conducted, and government sources are, by default, primary sources that cannot be used by themselves, especially in the context of a biography of a living person.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQkXD9mCNIc is useless for notability (connexion to subject). Interview where he is the conductor.
https://southasianvoices.org/the-subcontinental-podcast-episode-8-a-conversation-with-dr-moeed-pirzada/ is useless for notability (connexion to subject). Podcast episode where he is a guest.
We don't cite Xitter or any other social media (no editorial oversight). This can only be used in a WP:ABOUTSELF manner, never for notability.
We can't use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FVGKOJB9zM (unknown provenance). This is the first YouTube video you cite that isn't (from) a verified channel.
https://dailytimes.com.pk/1020218/moeed-pirzada-left-pakistan-because-of-threats/ is borderline at best. Given Pakistan's suppression of journalists I'm willing to overlook the byline, but there's nothing really here to work with beside that. Half the article is paraphrasing of stuff Pirzada said while the other half is incredibly perfunctory description that's barely worth citing.
We can't use Medium (no editorial oversight).
https://www.globalvillagespace.com/about-15000-killed-in-ethnic-confrontations-in-sudan/ is a non-sequitur. (Pirzada is not credited for the piece and if he were, the source would still be unusable due to its having been written by him.)
We can't use https://lums.edu.pk/sites/default/files/2022-06/Academic_Report_2021_22.pdf (connexion to subject, too sparse). Report from a university he worked for.

You have one borderline source that would barely pass muster. Literally everything else is some degree of uncitable for one reason or another. Notability is far from being met. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 16:43, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. A quick rebuttal on sources per the relister's statement (although I only see one valid "keep" that needs rebuttal, since one of the "keep" !votes is a WP:PERX:

First of all, I completely endorse Jéské Couriano's source assessment.
Aqsa Qambrani's "keep" rationale is entirely baseless. There is no reason to preserve the subject's legacy per WP:NOTMEMORIAL. And interviewing notable persons does not confer notability per WP:NOTINHERITED.
Third, a review of Jfire's proposed sources: One is signed by "our staff reporter" and two others are signed by "web desk"; unbylined content from South Asian outlets is a red flag for unreliable sourcing. Indica News devotes a few sentences to Pirzada before going on broader commentary on the Pakistani military. The ANI and Dawn stories on his 2015 arrest and later departure from Pakistan appear to be brief WP:ROUTINE news items; I don't think these meet the test of WP:SIGCOV. I appreciate Jfire bringing these sources to the discussion, and while I usually agree with them about AfD outcomes, in this case I just don't see a compelling case for WP:GNG or WP:NBIO, and I do see efforts to game the system and disrupt the discussion (by other editors, not Jfire). In light of that, I think SALTing and thus requiring a future submission to through AfC would be the best outcome. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:13, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dclemens1971 Thank you very much for your comment here is my say, wikipedia expects the journalist notablity only if they meet General Notability Guideline (GNG) criteria which is

Be independent of the journalist
Have significant, in-depth coverage
Be published in reliable, well-regarded outlets

to which I state he meets those criteria evident from these links https://tribune.com.pk/author/1719/moeed-pirzada , https://www.khaleejtimes.com/opinion/dont-hang-him , and https://vidiq.com/youtube-stats/channel/UCnkYymEbl1qZ0VhGrzH9guw/?utm_source=chatgpt.com . These three links particularly the first Tribune covers his geopolitcal analysis which proves his experties in international political anaylsis commentary. In esteemed internation publication Khaleej times , his publication proves his journalistic ability and strenght. Moreover his interviews with prominent international figures like former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, David Cameron (former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom), and former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

The following link https://vidiq.com/youtube-stats/channel/UCnkYymEbl1qZ0VhGrzH9guw/ showcases his acceptance in the public by adopting to the new media. Also his work has been cited by some major organisation for instance , the interview of Clinton he conducted its transcrpit is archived on the official U.S. Department of State website , Tedx talk a platform known for featuring influential thinkers and leaders has featured him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi27MzgIu-I, Iam qouting tedx talk here "Moeed Pirzada is a prominent political commentator, TV Anchor, columnist and influential blogger in Pakistan. He advises government and key public sector organizations on communication strategies and has worked with international organizations as consultant on issues related to policy and governance. He is currently Director of Governance & Policy Advisers (GAPA) and is Editor Strategic Affairs and lead Anchor for Dunya News, where he hosts his popular show:Tonight with Moeed Pirzada." These altogather make GNS requirment fullfilled. I hope it helps Aqsa Qambrani (talk) 21:24, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GNG does not say that the subject of the biography needs to be published in reliable outlets, as in having their articles published in a reputable news website. It says that he or she must be talked about on reliable outlets. Also, funny how you were recently unblocked after promising not to use WP:CHATGPT, and now the second link you pasted here says utm-source="chatgpt.com". Badbluebus (talk) 21:51, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I was unblocked to not use AI for for communication purposes but I believe I can use AI as a tool to do research. Chatgbt help finding source of information but to extract what you require is still your job. Comming to your first argument , Moeed pirzada is a jouranalist not an actor , scientist or politician for journalists to write on him .He writes on on other people and I see alot of journalist are existing on wikipedia despite alot less achievements than Moeed Pirzada for instance Asma Shirazi , Mansoor Ali Khan , Waseem Badami , Sana Bucha , Gharida Farooqi, syed Talat and list goes on.

I hope it helps Aqsa Qambrani (talk) 01:33, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't. This is the same notability-by-osmosis claim I explicitly called out above, and trotting it out again isn't going to be any more defensible than it was the first time - in fact, it's less so after my source assessment. WP:NAUTHOR (which NJOURNALIST redirects to) says nothing about the calibre of people the subject has written about contributing to a subject's notability. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 06:54, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This comment betrays no understanding of GNG. Being a TEDx speaker is not notable; it is a brand that gets applied to hundreds of local conferences that feature numerous speakers of no distinction or notability. His YouTube channel stats page is (a) a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE and (b) not GNG-qualifying coverage. The links to the Tribune and to Khaleej Times are articles by Pirzada, not coverage of him, and thus completely useless for GNG. This page amounts to an aggressive effort to promote a non-notable individual, and Aqsa Qambrani's participation in this AfD has brought forth not one qualifying source. Dclemens1971 (talk) 22:11, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As I explained in my prevous comments he is journalist , reporter and anchors who gives news writes on other things. For journalist 's notablity will be he has been able to publish his articles in renowed and well established meida outlets and have hosted prime Tv shows (news). Tribune , Khaleej Times featring his articles is something and can not be termed as useless for GNS. There is nothing promotional all facts are sourced with references and all.

@Aqsa Qambrani: In order:

https://justicekatju.com/the-bravery-of-moeed-pirzadathe-bravery-of-moeed-pirzada-fc1f62df49b0 has been discussed and dismissed above; it's on Medium which is unusable as a source for want of editorial oversight.
https://www.dawn.com/news/1713281 is useless for notability (too sparse). Name-drop. This is a hinky source in the first place regardless of context as it's almost entirely what Imran says.
https://thefridaytimes.com/26-Apr-2023/i-studied-internet-law-at-lse-moeed-pirzada-to-welcome-nasim-zehra-s-defamation-case is useless for notability (too sparse). Whatever information in here is attributed claims, rather than discussion of Pirzada.
We can't use https://thephilox.com/the-inanity-of-moeed-pirzada/ (unknown provenance). Role byline, and this reads like an op-ed.

leaning delete Given a lack of sources, I'm not going to presume an old building is notable simply because it's old; if nobody cares enough to write about it, then it isn't notable. It does actually matter if the Italians don't care about their own buildings, but I would presume that what with the interest in Renaissance art, there ought to be English language sources if there were anything notable about it. And I'm having trouble finding sources beyond the municipal site, possibly because non-Italian sources don't use an Italian name.

List of boats in The Adventures of Tintin

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

So, there's some interesting stuff here in the form of well written and referenced text on "The maritime world in The Adventures of Tintin", but this is wrapped in fancrufty and poorly referenced list that fails WP:NLIST (and while the list appears to have plenty of footnotes, many are just unreferenced notes or commentary). As a list, I think his has no reason to exist, but the content could probably be merged somewhere, or maybe split (or perhaps we could just delete the list part of this article and rename it?). It's a weird case, I've very rarely seen some good content bundled with bad one in such a way... If this is somehow kept, obviously, this is not a list of boats, but ships (or ships and boats?). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:40, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename to List of ships in The Adventures of Tintin as more appropriate title (I assume this might come from French "bateaux" as in the title of Horeu's book meaning both ships and boats). As already pointed out by Mushy Yank there are secondary sources with enough coverage as to fullfill WP:LISTN. Everything else are problems which can be solved through normal editing and are therefore no grounds for deletion. If someone wants to transform this into a fully prose article, or even expand the scope to The sea in The Adventures of Tintin, I have no objections.

This is a case of WP:BLP1E, the subject is only notable for their sacking from The Age.

Keep. As per WP:BLP1E the 'subjects notable for one event' policy must meet each of three criteria listed for the subject to be unsuitable for a page. They are: reliable sources only cover one event; the individual is otherwise low profile; and the individual's role in the event was not significant. I suggest Szego's career as an author and journalist elevates her above “low-profile individual”; and her role in the event clearly was not “not significant”. Spinifex&Sand (talk) 22:50, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A reading of WP:LOWPROFILE would suggest that they are indeed a low profile individual. Being a author or a journalist alone does not make someone not low-profile. In fact if they did have a high profile as consequence of those activities they would almost certainly pass WP:NJOURNALIST or WP:NAUTHOR (the same policy), which they appear not to.

Wild Dingo Press, sells her book (see https://www.wilddingopress.com.au/shop/p/9780987381149). It's unsurprising that a book seller would have a profile page for an author that they sell the books of. It's not independent. It would also be a stretch to call two paragraphs significant coverage.
bookpublishing.com.au only mentions her in passing. It does not have significant coverage of her. Notably there is no claim that she won that award so I don't see a pass with WP:NAUTHOR.
The Age link you provide is her employee profile page, detailing articles that she wrote as a journalist for The Age. Firstly that's not independent coverage of her as an individual and secondly that doesn't go towards showing a pass of WP:NJOURNALIST. The Age were her employer, so it's unsurprising that they'd have a profile page on her.
thejewishindependent is a podcast in which she is interviewed. This is not independent from Szego and more importantly counts as a primary source. This does not contribute towards establishing Szego's notability. Those issues aside it appears to be dominated by her sacking from The Age, going towards my argument of BLP1E.
The Guardian link is of the same nature as The Age link. Again not independent as they are/were her employer and again it's it's unsurprising that they'd have a profile page on her which details the stories that she's written for them.

None of the sources you have provided above contribute to Szego's passing our general notability guidelines. In order to establish notability we would need multiple reliable secondary sources which are independent from Szego and which cover her in-depth. If WP:BLP1E wasn't a thing then she should pass on the coverage of her sacking alone, however WP:BLP1E is a thing and therefore she doesn't meet our general notability guidelines.

I've seen editors cite multiple reviews in the past as sufficient reason for a keep (not that I'm accusing you of doing that here as you've obviously stated there are no reviews). I'm not sure that multiple book reviews, by itself, is a WP:NAUTHOR pass. I presume the editors are basing their keep vote based on criterion 3 which states The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series), but to me it would appear that when they are doing so that they are disregarding the first sentence of that criterion.

Delete - I found hundreds of search results for her in The Wikipedia Library, but the overwhelming majority of them were her bylines on articles she has written, and yes, there was SIGCOV about her, but it was not independent, because her byline was on those articles as well. Just because she was fired from her job doesn't automatically bestow notability on her, because that news cycle about her getting sacked has already come and gone.

Bad Toys 3D

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

Rationale: Non-notable per WP:GNG for a shareware re-release of a game that lacks an article. I think it seems to be shareware that does pop up in odd sources and cover discs, but lacks substantial coverage and review content to justify an article about it.

Source analysis: Relies mostly on primary sources [35], user-generated blogs [36] or game databases [37][38][39]. A PC Gamer article ([40]) seems promising, but the content reveals the writer has not played the game, relying on the site's description to describe it, and is expressing bemusement at the archaic method of distribution of its rerelease. Best coverage seems to be in a Czech magazine website of unknown reliability [41].

Other searches: Trivial mention on Games Industry as part of a publisher background [42]. Internet Archive search found one catalogue listing describing the game ([43]) and one Russian review ([44]) although the latter doesn't really describe or express much of an opinion of the game other than calling it a funny parody of Wolfenstein.

Or perhaps redirect to WinG, the library it uses. 2604:3D09:8C77:A500:595:B86:B208:2639 (talk) 02:19, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Patrocles (half-brother of Socrates)

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

Not notable. He has precisely one mention in the complete works of Plato. All the information is extrapolated from what we know of Socrates. Remsense ‥ 论 00:22, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect (if possible?) to Phaenarete, which already mentions him. No need to merge, as there is no useful information here, and one of the sources is not reliable (geni_family_tree), and the other only has a sentence saying that Socrates had a half-brother Patrocles. The disambig page Patrocles could say "Patrocles, son of Phaenarete and half-brother of the philosopher Socrates". (If any other editors are aware of more information and sources about this Patrocles that could be added to improve this article, I'd be happy to reconsider.)

Keep Having reconsidered, as per my reply to Uncle G below, I am striking my Redirect !vote. Nails 2002 is clearly SIGCOV, and with the other, shorter sources and explanation of his roles, adds up to at least WP:BASIC. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:21, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Many decent 21st century sources (e.g. Miller's and Platter's Plato's Apology of Socrates: A Commentary (UOP, 2012, ISBN 9780806186054)), as opposed to the family tree WWW site that is used in the article, point to Nails 2002, pp. 218–219, Patrocles of Alopece, son of Chaeredemus harvnb error: no target: CITEREFNails2002 (help) as a good recent authority. It has the original Greek name, the citations to classical sources (including Euthydemus), and a lengthy discussion of Patrocles's possible career on the Board of Ten archons (that followed the fall of the Thirty Tyrants) after age 30. Uncle G (talk) 04:21, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - Nails, Debra (2002). "Patrocles of Alopece, son of Chaeredemus". The People of Plato: A Prosopography of Plato and Other Socratics. Indianapolis/Cambridge: Hackett Publishing. pp. 218–219. ISBN 9781603840279.

Uncle G, I'd be happy to reconsider, but I have no access to Nails' book myself (Google Books preview does not show those pages, nor the Works cited and consulted (which might provide other sources too)). Other sources I have found have at most a sentence or two about Patrocles, though admittedly more than is in this article. Xenophon: Ethical Principles and Historical Enquiry p286-287 says "Socrates' half-brother Patrocles was King Archon of the board of ten oligarchs who replaced the Thirty after their downfall"; Socrates in Love p 170 says Patrocles "may have had political ambitions; he is named as holding an official position in the Athenian treasury in the late fifth century". The Bloomsbury Companion to Socrates names Patrocles as one of seven who fled into exile as a result of the scandals and failed oligarchic coup of 415. That does sound like he was notable. I do not feel competent to add that info to the article, though! RebeccaGreen (talk) 09:40, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as above, unless additional detail sufficient to prove notability is forthcoming: the best way to prove that would be to add some substantial, reliably cited mentions. If you do this, feel free to ping me to reconsider my !vote. Brief and passing mentions (even in good sources, as those discussed above seem to be) are not in themselves sufficient to do this.

Comment I have added those sources to the article. I hope that someone with access to Nails 2002 will expand the article further. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:51, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If no one else has critiques, I'm happy to keep the article given these improvements, thank you. Remsense ‥ 论 01:26, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I find it hard to assess notability of recent Indian topics, per WP:NEWSORGINDIA. As far as this book is concerned, I would think it possible that the original text by Achyutananda Dasa could be notable, or at least worth including information about it in the article about him (though I note that article says that he "wrote numerous books, many of which could be loosely translated as the Book of Prophecies"). Trying to assess the refs in this article: (1) is a video, so inaccessible to anyone who does not know Hindi; (2) is unreliable (at the end is "Disclaimer. The above information is based on various sources. Webdunia does not officially confirm it." It does not mention the 2023 book, just the text by Achyutananda Dasa. (3) does not mention the 2023 book either. (4) does say it's a review of Bhavishya Malika Puran translated into Hindi language by Pandit Shri Kashinath Mishra in 2023, but just repeats the same summary of the predictions as other refs do. (5) does not mention the 2023 book either. (10) in English is by someone who says "I am enthusiastic blogger & SEO expert." Probably not reliable, but does end the review by saying "Bhavishya Malika’s Authenticity: Some people are not sure if the Bhavishya Malika is genuine. We don’t really know where it came from or who wrote it, and some experts think it might be a more recent creation. Different Interpretations: The things written in the Bhavishya Malika can be understood in different ways. So, people might read the same text and come up with different predictions. Accuracy of Predictions: There’s no scientific proof that the predictions in the Bhavishya Malika are correct. It’s impossible to predict the future with complete certainty." This review also has a summary of positive and negative predictions in the book. If this article is kept, it should include information about the book's reception and critiques of it, not just repeat its predictions. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:16, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
