This article cites a lot of sources, but they're nearly all about his gubernatorial campaign or recall, and the rest are from local outlets about actions taken by the school board while he was in office. At least 6 of the sources are just election results. Just implicitly, I don't see how running for governor and getting recalled from his school board position make him notable enough for a Wikipedia page. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 15:09, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Yes, a failed political candidate isn't notable, the article seems to focus on the various "controversies", wearing masks, faking the diver's badge... I don't see notability based on scandals alone. A school board position isn't quite NPOL. Oaktree b (talk) 15:25, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not pass WP:GNG - there do not appear to be sufficient reliable sources about the subject to establish notability and notability is not inherited from its unquestionably notable parent organization and the notable people who have been associated with the program ElKevbo (talk) 14:49, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully and strongly disagree. In almost all cases, academic programs are notable only because of one or both of two things: high rankings from independent sources, and notable faculty and alumni. The entry establishes that the Program in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior, Michigan State University, satisfies both of those criteria.
If this is not sufficient, then I would point out that there are countless other entries on Wikipedia about academic units that should also be deleted. I won’t name them (except see below) because I think they are useful entries for people trying to understand the connections between scholars, the histories of fields, possible places for study, and more.
I note that ElKevbo is a scholar at the University of Delaware, like MSU also a superb public university. When I go to the categories page for that university, the top entry I see in the left column is for the Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics. The top entry I see in the right column is the Institute of Energy Conversion. Neither lists any external references that indicate notability. These are just two such entries in the University of Delaware category, and there are several others.
I don’t envy the Wikipedia editors who must work hard to sustain quality and, in so doing, set and implement reasonable and fair standards. However, those standards may need revision and/or more reliance on good-faith, verifiable information about well-known institutions and productive scholars. Otherwise, the standards should be enforced consistently and fairly. I favor more reliance on good-faith, readily verifiable information (even if from university websites) about institutions and scholars, which I think will allow Wikipedia to be most useful to its readers.

Company may fall under issues related to WP:ILLCON. At present, all sources on the page are related to a current DOJ indictment. I have searched for articles discussing the organization published prior to September 1 and have been unable to find anything establishing notability (which is honestly surprising). See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lauren Chen. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 14:26, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't like the article being about the organization, perhaps you should change the article title to 2024 Tenet Media investigation or 2024 DoJ Russian influence investigation, which most certainly is notable. Just because something's recent or in the news does not mean it's notable. — The Anome (talk) 14:52, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This BLP was created following the announcement that Chen has been indicted by the DOJ for disseminating pro-Russian propaganda. All the sources used in the article discuss the indictment, and the article's primary focus is the indictment. A draft currently exists, which directs back to this page. I have searched for coverage prior to September 1 but have yet to find anything to establish notability (which is honestly surprising to me). I found a few academic journal articles that mention Chen, but there is no SIGCOV. Otherwise, internet sources appear to be primary.

None of the given sources are reliable (YouTube, Reddit, etc.), so nothing to contribute to WP:GNG in any way. A quick WP:BEFORE only gives an interview to Jewish News Syndicate (primary, doesn't count for notability) and a report on one of his presentations by edhat.com.

This amounts to a self-written autobiography of an opinion columnist. It does not warrant a wikipedia article and the current one is promotional — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ieusuiarnaut (talkcontribs) 16:03, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ieusuiarnaut (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Delete - as above, clearly promotional content relating to a non-notable person. Furthermore, use of “expert” in disambiguation in article title clearly biased and inappropriate. Elshad (talk) 19:57, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - very clear cut case of a non-notable person. Badharlick (talk) 23:43, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed, this should be on LinkdIn, not a supposed encylopædia. It’s essentially an advert for a self declared “expert” fishing for media appearances. 141.195.160.217 (talk) 00:52, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The article was only created in August 2023, her media appearances long predate that - this[2] is from 2015. I think it's important that media pundits have articles, it enables everyone to easily look at their credentials and assess their motivations. Orange sticker (talk) 10:06, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree, Wikipedia policy does not care about your opinions on how you think the world ought to be. Badharlick (talk) 05:12, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Clearly not autobiographical as has been alleged - the creating editor, @Starklinson:, although they have chosen to remain as a redlinked editor without a userpage, has created and edited a wide range of articles over seven years (in contrast to the nominator of this AfD who appears to be proposing this AfD as their first edit). Appears to be a notable expert in the field, cited in many sources. The disambiguation, needed to distinguish her from Z G (actress), could perhaps be "(migration specialist)" to avoid any perceived subjectivity in "expert", so perhaps Keep and move. PamD 08:33, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree with all this including altering the title.Orange sticker (talk) 10:49, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @PamD, I'm thinking this discussion could end up as being a no consensus outcome. What do you feel about (refugee advocate) as the disambiguation? TarnishedPathtalk 12:03, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @TarnishedPath Not sure about "advocate". She describes herself on LinkedIn as "migration policy specialist". I think I'd still go with "(migration specialist)", which covers a wider range of activity than "advocate" but avoids the possible puffery of "expert". The category Category:Experts on refugees, which was created in 2015, is slightly odd, with no parent category in a "people by occupation" tree. It's difficult to find a descriptor which fits someone employed in a field, rather than various "activists" categories or disambiguators. PamD 18:03, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no evidence she is a migration 'specialist' or expert. This appears to be a confusion of one sided activism with actual non-partisan knowledge. Working for a pro-immigration ngo for asylum seekers is hardly expertise and this characterisation favours open border policy which is contentious in the public realm. Must be deleted and replaced with something like 'activist' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A10:D582:D18:0:AC59:B40E:AD1E:937B (talk) 09:31, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I noticed how this was nominated by, and many of the votes are by, new users who have made no other contributions to the project so searched Twitter and it seems the subject of this article made a tweet yesterday that received a lot of attention and then Twitter users brought attention to her Wikipedia page. I've looked to see if there is an appropriate template to flag this AfD but can't find one, but it seems to be this has been nominated in bad faith Orange sticker (talk) 11:12, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's interesting that we don't allow a brand-new editor to create an article in mainspace, but we do allow them to create an AfD. Perhaps this should be reconsidered? PamD 11:43, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @PamD and @Orange sticker, I've added a {{notavote}} notice. However, I must note that the first and third editors to !vote delete after nomination are editors who have been on Wikipedia 19 years and 9 years respectively, so while there are some IPs voting and the article was nominated by a very new user, I don't think it's completely accurate to state that many of the votes are by new users. TarnishedPathtalk 12:35, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @TarnishedPath Yes but: did you see the editing history of the 19-year editor? 4 edits since 2019, of which one to their user page, one to their talk page. Not a very active editor. The 9-year editor does seem to be a regular contributor on a range of topics. PamD 13:07, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    While I do agree that it's highly unusual when a day old account makes such a nomination and then is followed by some IPs participating, I really don't think that's enough to make judgments about longstanding editors regardless of their recent history. TarnishedPathtalk 13:12, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think rather than back or forth about who is editing perhaps engaging with the substance here would be preferable - to qualify as an ‘expert’, you would presumably need well read academic publications and so on. Every Think Tank employee in the U.K. doesn’t have a Wikipedia page, even if they are occasionally cited in the press. The subject has no published books, academic papers, etc; this is clearly below the threshold of noteworthy-ness. Plus the article is promotional in tone and I strongly suspect some connection, financial or otherwise, between the main editor and the subject 2A01:CB06:B852:BE75:69B1:C245:F364:C83B (talk) 08:34, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Activity level is not a requirement for a users vote to be considered legitimate. I find your arguments in this discussion to be highly suspect in their motivation, as you appear to be attempting to undermine the legitimacy of the vote rather than participating in the actual discussion. Badharlick (talk) 05:10, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It is extremely bad etiquette to assume bad faith as you are. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, provided they follow the rules set out in the policy. It does not exist for cabals of users to gatekeep others from contributing. Badharlick (talk) 05:05, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Thank you, @PamD:. I only put (migration expert) because I didn't know what else to call her - that's how she's often referred to by the British press. I don't think 'expert' is necessarily biased, it just means she's done significant research on the topic. And I don't think 'activist' quite fits. However, if anyone has a better idea for the title, I'd be open to that. – Starklinson 13:13 UTC
    • ALSO, Wikipedia has a category Category:Experts on refugees, suggesting the language of 'expert' is not considered too partial for Wikipedia. I would also like to make it very clear that I have never received payment for my work on Wikipedia, nor have I ever made a page for someone as a favour. I know none of these people personally. – Starklinson 21:43 UTC
  • Delete: Appears in various media as a subject expert, but I don't find much coverage about this person. Source 2 is a "30 under 30 list" in a PR item. The BBC sources is an interview where she talks about things. Source 14 is ok-ish. Oaktree b (talk) 16:32, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    What about source 1? Starklinson (talk) 12:28, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's an interview with/about her, not terrible but not nearly enough. Generally don't count for RS as they are primary. Oaktree b (talk) 15:55, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Regardless of the provenance of this article, the subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Awards are WP:MILL (a trade pub's 30 under 30), and the rest of the sources are WP:INTERVIEWS (which do not contribute to notability), WP:ROUTINE coverage of organizations she works for and WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS.

  • Could draftify be an option? – Starklinson 13:30, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Starklinson, draftification is generally for newish articles, not for ones which have already been around for a year and haven't demonstrated that they meet our notability guidelines in that time. See WP:DRAFTNO. TarnishedPathtalk 06:28, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. As PamD explains, the accusation of autobiography doesn't hold water. And while some of the sources are interviews or trivial, there are multiple sources that are prose (not interviews) and that focus on Gardner as a person (are not trivial). Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 11:25, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Neither of those articles constitute WP:SIGCOV. They are WP:ROUTINE coverage of her in her capacity as an employee of her organization. The National article in particular is primarily composed of her quotations.

  • Keep The subject seems to have expertise in migration and policy, as evidenced by her education and the experience detailed in the article. This is supported by the citations, which often involve news outlets seeking or highlighting the subject's thoughts on these topics, e.g. "Asylum aid charity: Migrant crisis 'disgraceful'". BBC News. 30 July 2015. and Morrison, Hamish (22 February 2023). "Asylum expert Zoe Gardner schools Jonathan Gullis on why refugees come to UK". The National. The article could be better written but that's not a reason to delete. Nnev66 (talk) 00:08, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Interviews are not useful for establishing WP:SIGCOV. TarnishedPathtalk 01:35, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Where does it say anything in WP:SIGCOV about interviews not counting? Although I agree the BBC one probably wouldn't for notability I think it's evidence of expertise (or why would they interview her?) I would also count the PRWeek 30 under 30 article (yes, references like these are a bit promotional but I'd still count it). In addition to The National reference noted above, the following references in the article also have more significant coverage:
    Nnev66 (talk) 00:31, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The Thomson Reuters article is not WP:SIGCOV of Gardner -- it provides sigcov of the migration issue and quote her incidentally to her work. That's WP:ROUTINE. The Sussex Bylines piece is an WP:INTERVIEW; its content is entirely sourced to Gardner herself and thus is a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE. Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:07, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry I meant notability. TarnishedPathtalk 01:52, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the WP:INTERVIEW link as I hadn't seen that - it reads to me that interviews are OK if the interviewer is an established journalist or at least independent of the subject. I don't know Sussex Bylines so can't tell what the situation is there. I tend to include articles for notability that have at least a few sentences about the person provided there are multiple other sources, which there appear to be here. This one may be an edge case in that regard. Nnev66 (talk) 02:20, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I voted delete on the original listing and I'd just like to clarify my vote now that this has been relisted. As far as I understand this is basically a spokesperson for a few NGOs (most notably Asylum aid and the European Council on Refugees and Exiles), who has had some occasional past media coverage as part of her role as a spokesperson for an NGO. Seems pretty clear to me that this is non-notable, unless we should start creating articles for every spokesperson on the basis they they've appeared in some media coverage as part of their job. Flyingfishee (talk) 17:02, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: There seems substantial disagreement over whether the sources are or are not sufficient to establish notability. A detailed analysis of available sources would be a great deal more helpful than discussion of who is making arguments or why.

Article relys on a single source, article is strangely formatted and isn't consistent with other similar articles, case for WP:TNT so a proper List of New Zealand national rugby league team results can be created.

Previously PRODed, and was reverted on the basis that the article could be improved and that I as PRODed nominator had changed the name of the page. Yes, article could be improved, but there is virtually nothing novel or useful on this page so don't see why edit history needs retaining for a new article "List of New Zealand national rugby league team results". Articles name was changed to better reflect the article content. But in reality, it is so far away from the standard way to display a list of national team results that it's best to be deleted.

Keep (provisionally) on grounds of WP:NEXISTS (sort of).redirect to Tonga National Rugby League. Deletion not the best outcome because this article pre-exists the redirect target -- the target started as a redirect to this article -- and we should retain the history.
This article [3] tells part of the story - they got kicked out of the International Rugby League and had no support from the Tonga government. And this [4] from last week says Tonga has been readmitted under new management. The second one is primary, and I haven't found a source that reported the announcement although I have seen articles about the Tonga team already scheduled for matches.
Adding to the confusion, in 2013 a retired editor may have had a tendency to unconstructively edit rugby pages, e.g., [5]. This diff shows what was added to the article, suggesting that even if though it wasn't a hoax to begin with it became one later. TNRL Global Insurance redirect should probably be deleted.

I think you have confused the subject of this AfD with Tonga National Rugby League. This AfD is for the competition Tongan National Rugby League where as the sources provided relate to the governing body which is linked first. Mn1548 (talk) 17:54, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Or this may just be me getting confused on the differences between revision. In that case a redirect to Tonga National Rugby League could be a better option (for now) so at least the page history is still there for anyone who wants to attempt to salvage it. Mn1548 (talk) 17:59, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is helpful.
As I understand it, Tonga National Rugby League was created as a redirect to Tongan National Rugby League by the person who had at the time renamed Tongan to TNRL Global Insurance Cup. Then Tonga was rebuilt as a good faith article while TNRL/Tongan remained a piece of trash article.
So the proper thing would be to delete Tongan and then Tonga needs to be updated? I still think the TNRL redirect page is unlikely to be of any value.
Note: I haven't included diffs as this is all quite convoluted. But the history of the articles around 2013 shows the moves by @Renamed user 9r8u7g6b5y4n3r2l1 Oblivy (talk) 23:10, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, I still feel deletion is the best course of action. The Tonga article is clearly about the governing body whereas the TongaN article is trying to be both the governing body and competition AND is unsourced. Plus I can't find anything to suggest the competition is notable as a stand alone article. Mn1548 (talk) 10:05, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed my vote to redirect. The history of these articles is messy and I don't really feel like pulling them apart to see if there's any common history. A redirect is pretty harmless and it could pass for accidental misspelling if you don't view edit history. Oblivy (talk) 01:39, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, after the death of Ebrahim Raisi, no new government has been formed in Iran and only Mohammad Mokhber, Ebrahim Raisi's deputy, temporarily headed the 13th cabinet until Masoud Pezeshkian won the 2024 election and became the president of Iran and formed the 14th cabinet. I must point out that the formation of the cabinet by Mohammad Mokhber was possible if he presented a list of proposed ministers to the Islamic Consultative Assembly and asked for a vote of confidence from the representatives, However, according to Iranian law, dismissal and vote of confidence in cabinet ministers are prohibited until the new president takes office. It should be noted that a similar page was created for this topic in Persian Wikipedia, which led to the deletion of that page in the request for deletion on June 8, 2024.

This is the page for an American heavy metal band. It's been tagged for a decade as needing more references and for having some COI editing. I can't find anything online which might constitute significant coverage and nothing in the article suggests anything that would fulfill WP:MUSICBIO: they've played support slots for established bands and one of their songs was once played on a long-running UK radio rock show, but this doesn't confer notability. There's no evidence of music chart success, nor of industry awards success, no major label interest, and none of the band members is individually notable. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 11:52, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Promo piece on a non-notable businessperson. The sources look plentiful but are a mix of passing (or no) mentions, the subject commenting on something, and primary sources, none of which contributes anything towards notability. The one possible exception is the Swagger piece, but it's borderline at best, and in any case alone nowhere near enough. BEFORE search finds nothing better. This was draftified but moved back, so here we are at AfD. Fails WP:GNG / WP:BIO by some margin. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:59, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I believe the article should be kept because the subject is a notable figure in the field of rare earth mineral extraction and mining. He has been quoted or mentioned in over a dozen articles on Mining.com alone, in addition to other reputable industry publications. You can find relevant examples through this search: Google Search for Pini Althaus on mining.com.
Furthermore, he has been featured and interviewed by well-known media outlets, including:
Forbes, Newsmax, Fox, Fox Video Interview, The Wall Street Journal, another WSJ, Financial Times
These sources highlight his expertise and significant presence in the industry, which clearly establishes his notability. For these reasons, I am in favor of keeping the article. Edvardd (talk) 10:57, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I could not reach anything behind a paywall. WP:V is a key tenet of Wikipedia, and these references are wholly insufficient to verify the subject's notability. They do show that he exists.

  • Keep - in spite of how over-done the article is. There are sources that consider him an expert and has received much coverage on the complicated topic of rare earths and metals mining. he has plenty of national coverage and mentions as an expert .Its clear that Althaus has also played a significant role in shaping U.S. policy on rare earth minerals, advising both the Trump and Biden administrations and contributing to key legislation such as the RARE Act and the Permanent Magnet Act. His expertise has been featured in all major media outlets covering rare earths and precious metals mining like The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Yahoo and Forbes.

Relisting comment: Relisting. Clearly a consensus to Keep but in AFD discussions, we don't need editors stating that the subject is notable. Our opinions do not matter.

Refs 1 and 2 are her thesis and university profile. Ref 3 is a study she peer reviewed. Ref 4 appeared to be decent secondary coverage, although not enough for an article; however it is a contributor piece by 'Fusework Media' and I am not able to ascertain if this is a reliable source or not, their website is here: [6]. Ref 5 and 6 are employer profiles. Refs 7 and 8 are work she has done, with the news source being a statement from her in relation to her news, nothing here can be used to support a biography. Ref 9 and 10 are again, just studies/journals she has worked on and have no useful information to extract. 11 is just another employer biography. Ref 12 is an autobiography/self-description. Ref 13 is mention of something she is working on but it is just trivial and simply mentions her name as being involved on it and gives us nothing to write about her. Ref 14 is just a name mention that she won an award.

It was not just added so the intro does not hold water. In addition, there is an impressive list of references at Hewiki, just one click away. gidonb (talk) 04:31, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gidonb, do you have evidence to say that he is notable, not the usual "he must be notable" as he is a billionaire. WP:THREE sources since that is the standard. Not paid for puff pieces. Independent secondary sourcing. The article has never been referenced since it was created? scope_creepTalk 06:46, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I never do "must be notable" so your question does not make any sense. The reference in the article is not a paid for puff piece. In fact all three references are RS. The TheMarker reference is the best. It's an independent biography (just like our article), in the financial newspaper of Israel's newspaper of record. You wrote Never been referenced as a BLP since it was created. No indication of significance. That's not serious. Your reaction, again, is not serious. We deserve better than that. gidonb (talk) 13:51, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm as serious as I possibly can. Lets look at the references:
  • [7] I'm getting a 404 on it.
  • [8] This mentions the Nacht foundation, nothing really on the man himself.
  • [9] This article seems to be on his wife, whose a lawyer. I see no evidence that states its him explicity. It does state that he founded a charity.
Looking at the HU wikipedia references:
  • [10] This comes from a press-release.
  • Got a forbidden 403
  • Got another 403 forbidden.
  • [11] That is from a press-release announcing a new bank.
  • 403 forbidden
  • [12] Apparently his former wife owns the Globes. That also comes from a press-release.

That is first 7 references on the hu wikipedia and there is nothing there that satisfies WP:BIO. So there is no WP:THREE references that show he is notable. I've got a vpn. I'll see if I can see those 403's and the marker reference. scope_creepTalk 14:39, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I managed to view The Marker, the ref in article and one of the two 403 that were blocked in the he wikipedia. The third one was paywalled as it caught up. The first one is a X of Y who is the richest list with Nacht worth 3.5billion. Doesn't inspire confidence to call it biography. Call it what it, probably a self-written profile by his publicist, light on detail. It doesn't meet the requirement on WP:BLP "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources". The second one is not much better. All these fail WP:SIGCOV. scope_creepTalk 14:55, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
These two biographies (link1 and link2) are by themselves more than sufficient to meet the General Notability Guideline. The claim that there is no identification of significance is clearly unfounded. This individual is a recognized businessman. For businesspeople, billionaire status inherently signals a level of significance far beyond that of owning two corner stores.

Then where the coverage that verfies it. This is an enclyclopeadia and this a WP:BLP article. The BLP policy stated "Wikipedia must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources. " Where are they. Its still below borderline. The fact he has founded a company isn't a notability criteria. Both of these sources were checked on a WP:BEFORE and nothing was found that could be considered a true secondary source. On google scholar it surfaced [20] which is an interview. On Gbooks there is lots of passing mentions that are not independent or in-depth. They don't stisfy the criteria for a WP:BLP.

Juan Manuel Bellón López is not notable. He is only interesting because his wife is the famous Pia Cramling. The only fact on this page which merits mentioning on Wikipedia is his five-time Spanish Chess Championships, a fact which can also be found on the page of his daughter, Anna Cramling. Every Grandmaster does not deserve their own page for being connected to actually notable grandmasters. Just`Existing 04:20, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is a prime example of "internetism", the assumption that if it's not on the internet (or at least easily findable by google) then it's not notable. Bellon was at his peak strength from the early 70s to early 90s, which is why google doesn't turn up many results except in connection with his wife and daughter. But I can assure you that he was well known to chess players before the internet came along, and before he ever met Pia Cramling. Consider, for example, the results of a search of the Swedish magazine Tidsskrift för Schack - 147 hits, about half of them from the pre-internet days.

  • Keep per explanation by MaxBrowne2. It is true that the article, which is only one or two levels above stub quality, did not cite any of the normal sources. The way to fix this is not to delete the article, but to do some research and find and cite the sources. I have made a start on this by citing the Swedish chess magazine that MaxBrowne2 mentioned, to support the first of his Spanish national championship wins. Sorry for using a Swedish-language source, I did not see it in my favorite English-language source, the collected back issues of Chess Life. I would like to do better, but research into pre-internet sources takes time and effort.

This of course will immediately trigger the knee-jerk reaction about the essay WP:INHERIT (which has tons of qualifiers and warnings about usage). We have many examples of buildings that became notable because of previous occupants, for example Bron-Yr-Aur, "best known for its association with the English rock band Led Zeppelin". The place and the people who lived there become "associated" ie. the place is famous because of the famous people associated with it. This of course needs to be backed up with sources, which is why INHERIT does not apply, so long as there are sources, there is nothing wrong with a place made famous by famous residents. -- GreenC 14:46, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only source is to the publisher's website which lacks independence. Fails WP:SIGCOV. 4meter4 (talk) 04:07, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this translation is reviewed here, which says (this is not the full content btw): "The only edition of Girondo's work in English, translated with admirable resilience by Gilbert Alter-Gilbert, Scarecrow is really several books: the full texts of Espantapájaros (Scarecrow, 1932) and Interlunio (Lunarlude, 1937), selections from his first and a later book of poems, the manifesto he wrote for Martín Fierro and cultural notes he contributed to the journal, all in less than a hundred pages each of English and Spanish. Even his final book, the untranslatable En la masmédula (1956) with its playful and constant fusions of language, is glimpsed briefly in the introduction." Alas only one review. So merge maybe, it's noted by Britannica as the only English work. We should probably have an article on Espantapájaros (far more notable) to which this could be merged as its translation but we do not. PARAKANYAA (talk) 07:10, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only very minimal content inside the article and has no inline citations. The one and only source ([28]) is by the RSSSF, which collects statistics of every football result. Due to it lacking coverage in sources, it fails WP:GNG. Azarctic (talk) 01:40, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I am curious why you picked this season page out of all of them from 1902-03 to 1942-43. Technically there is nothing wrong with the article, it shows a historical table of what was then called an amateur league. However I believe the league did have good coverage in Mexican media. There maybe room for improvement, but in it's current form, I would combined all the league tables into one or maybe two articles. But historically, this league is part of the history of football in Mexico. So... also, how much WP:BEFORE did you do? I guess the coverage would be different in the 1940s due to WW2 and the political situation, so my bet is it's all about the offline sources anyway. Govvy (talk) 09:52, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    These tables are irrelevant anyway. It can’t be that significant if it’s getting 19 views per month either. All these seasonal articles should really be redirected to Primera Fuerza or deleted because there is barely anything in them in terms on content, which is why I picked this one because it has less content than the others, as well as barely any coverage.

Comment - just to be clear, deleting this article would also confer deleting every single "Primera Fuerza" season from 1902 to 1943. Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:48, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, as this division is notable, and so are its seasons— important to note that it was the highest-level division in the country. Impossible for me to review and search all the Spanish-language offline sources, but the existence of sources such as Crónica del fútbol mexicano: Por amor a la camiseta and Historia General del Fútbol Mexicano and their usage as sources on the Spanish-language article suggest that they have material related to this specific season and the other seasons of this competition as well. Overall, it does us no good deleting this as it's clearly the highest level for football back then in Mexico, sets a bad precedent for football seasons in other countries too. The only reason this would be deleted is because it's hard to find offline sources, to dissect them, and to use them on Wikipedia. Which would be a shame. Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:55, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not seeing any sources suggesting this grouping meets the WP:LISTN as it is not covered by non-primary sources. Let'srun (talk) 00:44, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I created this page because I believe the NCAA's official career leaderboard for winningest FCS coached doesn't accurately reflect the most successful coaches at that level. (I believe the same issue applies to coaching leaderboards in other divisions.) What we now know as FCS didn't exist before the 1978 season (as I-AA). Before then, the original I-AA programs had either been in an undivided Division I or in Division II. In the early 1980s, a substantial number of conferences and programs were downgraded to I-AA, and movement between the various subdivisions within D-I (mostly from I-AA/FCS to I-A/FBS) and between divisions (most often D-II to FCS) has been pretty much constant. The NCAA defines an "FCS coach" as an individual who served as a head coach for at least 10 years at that level (whether in the I-AA or FCS era), but counts ALL wins credited to that head coach at ALL four-year programs where he served as HC—even if he coached at a program that wasn't in FCS, or at the same program when it was competing at a different level. — Dale Arnett (talk) 06:40, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
