Highly advertorialized (to the point that I strongly suspect WP:AUTOBIO even though I can't prove it) WP:BLP of an actor and musician, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for actors or musicians. As always, actors and musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show evidence that they would pass WP:GNG on third-party reliable source coverage about them -- but this is referenced almost entirely to directory entries that are not support for notability at all, with the only semi-reliable source being a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself in the first person (which would be acceptable for use if the other sourcing around it were better, but does not get him over GNG in and of itself if it's the strongest source in the mix, per WP:INTERVIEWS).
And further, the claimed "breakthrough" is a bit part as an unnamed minor character in a film that's still about a year away from release, which is obviously not the kind of role that can clinch an automatic free pass over NACTOR without adequate sourcing.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this article from having to cite much better sourcing, or from having to have a much more neutral and objective writing tone, than this. Bearcat (talk) 23:57, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article is >90% mathematical notation and diagrams, and minimal general-interest content. Looks like an excerpt from a research paper. WP:NOTTEXTBOOK: article should not be presented on the assumption that the reader is well-versed in the topic's field.

This seems like a prime example of NOTNEWS to me; there is no indication that this is an event that rises to encyclopedic notability, and the history is replete with the removal of excessive tabloid-style detail and suggestion. Pinging the three editors that weighed in at WP:BLPN: notwally, Bon courage, DeCausa. Drmies (talk) 16:41, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There are many articles like this on Wikipedia such as, Death of Nicola Bulley which was going to be deleted however was kept even though its in the same boat as this article as not having "encyclopedic notability", also why delete the article just because the search is over? If thats the case then that means many other missing persons pages should be deleted aswell due to that reason, and I can agree with you that tabloid journalists have milked the story and most likely in 2 weeks will be posting articles along the lines of "Jay Slater's mother uses gofundme money on booze!", ok i sidetracked a bit TLDR: Keep because there are many other articles similar to this that went thru nomination for deletion but are still up. User:IPhoneRoots 11:06, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason to keep an article, especially an accidental fatal fall. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:19, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would lean towards Keep as the coverage of this disappearance, death and the public reaction to it has been extensive to the point where it now feels like its entered the cultural lexicon. If it turns out coverage is not WP:NSUSTAINED then it may be delete-worthy in the future but I expect it will be the type of case that gets referred back to and compared to a lot. Orange sticker (talk) 13:55, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the article is very similar to the Death of Nicola Bulley. And his death is trending all around social media. Azarctic (talk) 15:56, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • That other article is substantially about the investigation into police misconduct. Is there anything similar for the article subject here that involves details beyond merely the accidental death of a person? I do not see anything in the article in its current state to suggest that is the case. – notwally (talk) 15:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Yes, the Guardia Civil had to pretend they stopped searching to deter vloggers. Darrelljon (talk) 09:35, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Yup, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I've experienced both stories from a UK media perspective. At the end of the day, it's just a sad case of someone having an accident in the mountains and the difficulties of finding them therein. Rightfully a media story at the time, at least at this time, there's no long lasting impact or public story, or anything extraordinary about it. Negatives outweigh the positives. Delete. RIP Jay. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:50, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This was a huge case that went on national news every day until the case was resolved. Nicola Bulley, Madeline Mcann articles are still up. Makes zero sense to delete this in my opinion. R.I.P Jay Slater. Jattlife121 (talk) 21:36, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Although "huge" and appearing "every day" in the news (at least in reliable sources) may be questionable hyperbole there's no denying it was a big news story in the UK. But it would be interesting to see the arguments of keep voters! as to how WP:RECENT media coverage equates to needing a WP:NOTNEWS encyclopaedia article. An encyclopedia and a colection of news clippings are not the same thing. The keepers don't seem to address that: specifically could someone talk through the 10 year test thought experiment in relation to this article. DeCausa (talk) 22:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think one thing is that the story has (unfortunately) moved outside of news coverage and into meme culture and maybe even urban mythology. I'm not inclined to go looking for links though because they're all in pretty bad taste. I doubt this story will go away quickly - multiple stories are still being published in the last 24 hours. As it says in WP:RAPID, we shouldn't rush to create articles but also shouldn't rush to delete them. I would just advise a pause on this one. Orange sticker (talk) 08:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - we have similar articles with extensive news coverage on deaths from exposure/misadventure/wilderness etc. including
Darrelljon (talk) 22:54, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are those similar though? All of them seem to be unsolved or were unsolved for a long period of time with sources from different decades, and/or had investigations into the police handling the cases. Does this particular article subject have any remarkable aspect about it as a case other than temporary news coverage? – notwally (talk) 03:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Only Jay Slater made video calls whilst lost and disappeared with smartphone geographic coordinates available from early on. Unlike the others he was not camping/hiking/driving at night. The others were not subject to the social media reaction from the start. Darrelljon (talk) 09:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the incident has had far too extensive media coverage to warrant a deletion Kala7992 (talk) 16:03, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep , as per all above. This is very similar to the case of Nicola Bulley, who coincidentally were both from the Lancashire area. I’m not sure why Nicola’s article is still up and Jay’s is proposed for deletion but Jay Slater’s case has gained media attention worldwide and is notable to be on Wikipedia in my opinion. There are so many missing person’s articles on here which are similar, so why delete this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23EE:1300:259E:2037:382A:EADD:9BD (talk) 02:25, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I don't really see the need for this as a standalone article now because there isn't much information about it from RS, just mentions of it. If I had to pick a side, I would lean toward deletion. This can be mentioned in other articles as it is relevant.

See WP:FUTURE, WP:TOOSOON, and WP:DEADLINE. There is no rush to create these articles just to speculate on unconfirmed possibilities for the future.

  • Merge to Assassination of Qasem Soleimani. The retaliation by the Iranian government is planned in response to the Assassination of Qasem Soleimani ordered by Trump's National Security Council.

    Comment There is literally nothing in WP:NOTNEWS that says this article is inappropriate. That policy language says Editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events. The policy forbids original reporting by Wikipedia editors, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, Who's Who type coverage and celebrity gossip. Nothing else. None of that is present in this article. Cullen328 (talk) 07:47, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge it is too s, oon for a stand-alone article here. Other than the recent reporting that there are rumors, we have no information. I have no specific opinion on what the merge target should be yet; hopefully in the next few days there will be sufficient follow-on reporting to determine that. Walsh90210 (talk) 22:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- per Cullen328, this is essentially guaranteed to have enough information to merit a standalone article in the next few days (even a short one); and we can always merge it back to Assassination of Qasem Soleimani or some related article if for some reason that doesn't happen. The news on this just broke 4 hours ago, it's patently unhelpful to be pouncing on AfD's that quickly before this has even had time to marinate. WP:CONFUSESTUB applies; as does WP:ITSINTHENEWS (especially the cautionary part saying The NOTNEWS guideline is not intended to be overused to favor deletion. There are a variety of reasons an article may be written about a particular event, and this must be taken into consideration when a news event is sent to AfD.)

Well, that sounds reasonable. I am not opposed to "keep" as my second choice. My very best wishes (talk) 01:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Merge. Unless there is evidence they actually tried to assassinate him, this is just an - albeit very delayed - reaction to Qasem Soleimani's murder, and in my opinion not notable on it's own. As noted by the NYTIMES article, Iran has been wanting to get revenge for a while.
In the very unlikely event this turned out to be related to Thomas Matthew Crooks' attack, then it should be merged with that article. If Iran actually does something, then it should be put into it's own article.
If none of that happens, most of this should be merged into Qasem Soleimani, and the details around the Secret Service's increased security should be added to the Trump Assassination article.
That said, I believe we should wait before making a decision, and allow more time for discussion and new evidence to arise. 174.61.187.77 (talk) 21:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arnav Bhate (talk) 18:44, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment. The articles about the trains from this list that I have checked appear to be mechanically generated from entries in some database. Their content is mostly identical and each article does not appear to warrant its own discussion. Essentially, we have here a timetable of Indian railroads in a representation that is very inconvenient to use. Indeed these articles can be combined into one table that pretty much will be a copy of the original database. Since a timetable for the Indian railroads must already exist somewhere, a better solution might be to redirect them to a single article about the timetable itself with no details about particular trains, for the latter the article in turn will contain a link to the original, always up-to-date, searchable database. The schedule of regular trains updates many times a year, so we really should not get ourselves sucked into maintenance of these articles. Викидим (talk) 18:44, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The timetable: [5]. This website is used in the references of nearly all Indian Railway service-related articles, whether notable or non-notable. Arnav Bhate (talk) 18:47, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment It would have been more productive if @Arnav Bhate had bundled these nominations as I don't expect editors to be able to reply responsibly to every single one. That said, I do think the nomination statement is appropriate; it makes an assertion about lack of notability and offers a rationale. If the rationales are identical, that's an issue for discussion but not a reason to issue a blanket "keep." Dclemens1971 (talk) 00:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    These articles are about individual trains running the line, AFAIK. They can be merged together (or to some other article), creating a timetable. We do not create articles for each star in the sky, although very detailed databases exist that, just like timetables, can be used to mechanically generate some text for each line in the database. Unlike the sky, the railway timetable keeps constantly changing, creating a maintenance nightmare on top of these WP:ROTM concerns. Викидим (talk) 00:19, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are no sources in the English Wikipedia. The WP:PROD was declined by Necrothesp who pointed to the sources in the French Wikipedia. I have searched each one of the still available ones (for most, these are archive copies, originals are long gone, some archive copies are also lost) for the word "Hubert" and did not find a single one that was related to the mansion. In particular, the first reference in French is to a thesis (almost 20 PDF files had to be downloaded, since the page numbers are not provided in the French article) apparently uses the word "Hubert" in 3 cases: "Alexis-Hubert Jaillot", "Hubert Macé" (twice). I therefore propose that, unless someone can point me to the errors in my source research (with chapter and verse), to Delete the article. Викидим (talk) 16:45, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the citations and external links, there is:

  • One dead link to a blog post
  • The first page of a CourtTV article, comprised of a WP:PRIMARY copy of his essay and four sentence summary of the events.
  • Pioneer Press article: a local newspaper with mentions of the subject where he is not the focus. It cites the CourtTV article for information about Riehm.
  • Star Tribune article: a local newspaper article largely covering the notable event. I would say this is the closes to WP:SIGCOV and furthest from WP:PRIMARY
  • Two additional dead links to news stories

Per an IP at WP:BLP/N, this article is "a complete PR/puff page with self-published sources, press releases, purchased awards, and myriad other issues. I looked up a bunch of policies to help clean it up but in the end I don't know what to do about it, given it's still just a complete mess, the entire title is fake, and is maintained by an SPA."

I can't help agreeing with them, mainly because I can't actually find a claim of notability that is backed up by RS. Black Kite (talk) 15:16, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't a page based on self-published sources, there are several independent sources including official government pages (Albania and Lebanon) and you can't purchase a Kentucky Colonelship.
I have used his self published books as a reference only to the books name, not to any relevant information about the person himself.
The claim on notability is based on several important sources mentioning him, including the Government of Lebanon, Albania,the Armenian orthodox church, the city of Petrópolis in Brazil, the Global Imams Council and so on
If his titles are fake is not the point of this article, there is even a source saying that he is a fake prince and a fake martial artist

    But I didn't say it is evidence of his titles, but it is evidence of notability, being received officially by the President of Albania and the President of Lebanon is very much note worthy.

    Please note that there are numerous third-party sources from Lebanon and Jordan, as well as the Vatican, that recognize the Ghassanid history and royal house. The House is currently under review by the ICOC, which does recognize the House as Royal and is evaluating the awards. The Augustan Society has recognized the house and orders and history. The Marionite Church recognizes the House and history, as well as the current Arab Christian princes. Arbitration courts have rules the claim in valid and under international law is to be recognized. Comments so far show more ignorance than knowledge, and should not be the basis for deleting. There are sufficient third party sources to meet the Wikipedia requirements.

    Given that the claim that the 'Prince' is recognised by the UN is complete fiction, for multiple obvious reasons starting with the fact that the UN doesn't involve itself in determinations of the legitimacy of hereditary titles, I think we can discount the Jerusalem Post piece as the regurgitated press release it appears to be.

    If there was any credible evidence that this 'Global Imams Council' actually was 'the world's largest body of Muslim leaders', that argument might just possibly be worth considering.

    • If Anna Anderson can have a wikipedia page why can't Prince Ghassan? Granted Anna has more citations but her grift was at a much higher level than any alleged grift by Prince Ghassan so it stands to reason that would be the case. Over the years I've come to the conclusion that wikipedia may have their heart in the right place, but they are very arbitrary when it comes to what is or what is not fact. There have been a number of instances where I have tried to correct outright falsehoods published as fact in Wikipedia based on my insider knowledge of the events in question only to have my edits rejected because the alternative "facts" were deemed of higher value...see my roll tape tony edit. It's ok to have arbitrary standards, after all you are the community who builds and maintains wikipedia, but it's my opinion that this is just another case of wikipedia taking itself way too seriously. The fact that a relatively unknown Prince has come under such a coordinated attack advocating the deletion of this article should tell you there's something going on and you are being played. Having said all that, the actual content of the article can only be improved (which it would benefit from) to meet wikipedia standards if it is not deleted. ~~toolroom~~

You would do well to read Wikipedia:Reliable sources. We do not cite random blogs. We do not cite pdfs hosted on random websites. And we don't cite anything that merely repeats the title a man has given himself as evidence that he is a legitimate holder of that title. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:32, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the Wikipedia has authority to determine if a title is real or not. We are discussing notability and here you will find more than enough independent third-party news outlets, official websites of Bonafide entities, political and religious leaders that recognize him and clearly consider him notable enough to officially acknowledge his existence.
According to the cited Wikipedia:Reliable sources:
"News sources often contain both factual content and opinion content. News reporting from well-established news outlets is generally considered to be reliable for statements of fact.."
"Otherwise reliable news sources—for example, the website of a major news organization—that publish in a blog-style format for some or all of their content may be as reliable as if published in standard news article format (See also Wikipedia:Verifiability § Newspaper and magazine blogs)."
I presented here at least 10 (ten) sources that follow the aforementioned guidelines MasterKamalKhan (talk) 18:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct, wikipedia does not judge notability based on what a person is or isn't, tiles or otherwise.

Al Ra'i (Arabic: الرأي; lit. 'The Opinion'), also spelled Alrai, is an Arabic daily newspaper in Jordan. The Jordan Press Foundation, owner of the Al Rai, is government-owned. It has been regarded as Jordan's newspaper of record.
A newspaper of record is a major national newspaper with large circulation whose editorial and news-gathering functions are considered authoritative and independent; they are thus "newspapers of record by reputation" and include some of the oldest and most widely respected newspapers in the world.

    I used as a source a link from the presidential site of Albania about the official meeting with the president, and this article addresses Gharios as a Prince, the President also sent him a letter addressing him as Royal Highness, I tryed to link the web archive on the source, it is number source number 20, but it seems like it didn't work. Here is the link to the letter
    There is also the presidential decree on Lebanon authorizing the Royal House to operate in the country, you may arguee that this is not a recognition of his titles, but it is evidence of notability. The page has been edited to remove the decree and other sources that I originally posted from the Lebanese Government
    You can argue that none of that proves his titles are real, but you can't say it is not notable. The article is not about Gharios being Prince of Ghassan, the article is about the mand himself, add a section mentioning the controversy on his royal claims (if there is enough notable evidence of this controversy) Leo0274 (talk) 20:11, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are numerous reliable and independent sources demonstrating Prince Gharios's notability. The main criticism seems to be "it sounds fake" without any evidence that such is the case. Unless the reputable sources can be shown to be falsified, I agree for keeping the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:14D:4C84:1724:8060:7BCB:2538:C39D (talk) 21:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DO NOT DELETE! Prince Gharios is an internationally respected personality, receiving honours from several nations, the Holy See and the United Nations. He is received in audience by presidents, kings, high nobility, patriarchs and the Pope. Notable scholars confirmed the validity of his claim and titles. He is using his orders of chivalry not for personal purposes, but to raise funds for charities, supporting refugees and persecuted Christians in the Middle East. The Royal House of Ghassan is accredited to the U.N. ECOSOC and the Government of Lebanon, where his family is considered as princely and one of the most noble of this nation.

The claim that "The Royal House of Ghassan" is accredited by UN ECOSOC is completely bogus. The letter is in the JabalnaMagazine source given elsewhere in the discussion. It clearly states that the organization "Sovereign Imperial and Royal House of Ghassan Inc" has been given consulatative status whatever that means. This doesn't mean accredation or even recognition, it's just that Mr Gharios has registered a company with that name, hence the "Inc" at the end. D1551D3N7 (talk) 23:02, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The page should not be deleted because it is true and legitimate. There are many people out there who may not like Prince Gharios and are doing all their best to have the page deleted.

    3. Zenit does have some secondary background info on the subject, but is predominantly interview-based and thus primary and non-independent.
    4. Al-Arab has a lot of details on Ghassanids but nothing more than a single sentence on Gharios; obviously content from Gharios himself is not secondary or independent Red XN.
    5. Actuall is a pure Q&A interview; see previous Red XN.
    6. An Nahar has a trivial passing mention of Gharios Red XN.
    7. Gentleman's Review is another Q&A interview Red XN.
    8. Tribuna is a simple namedrop Red XN.
    9. Idea isn't accessible but looks to be simply stating what Gharios said at a conference rather than anything about him.
    10-13. The official websites of orgs that received, recognized, awarded, or otherwise interacted with Gharios are not independent sources Red XN.

WP:NOT is failed because this is a complete listing of the services of a company. As such it is excluded under WP:NOTCATALOG no. 6 which states that "Listings to be avoided include [...] products and services". It is also an indiscriminate listing - all destinations are listed even if the airline no longer flies there - and so excluded under WP:IINFO.

WP:NCORP (which applies to the services of companies as well as the companies themselves) is failed because the only sources provided in this article come directly from the airline and thus aren't independent of it. The only sources provided here are the company website, Aeroroutes (an enthusiast blog based on data from the company website) and a press-release - realistically the company is only ever going to be the source for the flights it operates. WP:NLIST is failed for the same reasons.

There is no evidence here at all that this is a notable topic, with significant coverage in reliable, 3rd-party, independent sources that meet WP:ORGIND. Even a WP:SPLITLIST has to have stand-alone notability per WP:AVOIDSPLIT and this does not.

  • Delete both. It is exceedingly rare for theses to be notable as publications in their own right. Occasionally, they can be cited in an article about the topic that they address; if the author is notable, then mentioning their thesis is a standard part of a biography. But a PhD thesis is not going to be an article-worthy book in itself, outside of exceptional circumstances that do not apply here, and this holds even more strongly for master's theses.

    I don't see much evidence of effort having gone into these pages at all.

The other is more of the same ("several practical applications across diverse fields", "seamlessly integrate into academic courses and training programs").

    Okay, let me take a look at the actual dissertation PDF then. jp×g🗯️ 18:09, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete as a hoax (WP:G3).
The introduction section of the PDF says explicitly that the thesis being tested was to attempt to replace sulfur with selenium in biotin in order to better understand the extent to which selenium could substitute for sulfur in metabolic pathways. This is mentioned nowhere in the article, which only talks about analyzing biotin itself.
Most concerning are the methods of the dissertation as described in the article. It mentions using chromatography and mass spectrometry, which I feel like at least implies GC-MS, but certainly and necessarily entails MS. Well, the dissertation has paper chromatography and no mass spectrometry at all. The only analytical instruments mentioned whatsoever in the dissertation are a gamma scintillation spectrometer, a radiochromatogram scammer, ion exchange columns for paper chromatography, bioautograms, and weighing equipment (not specified).
Based on the outright fabrication of major details of the dissertation, the vapidity of the conclusions drawn therefrom, and the rather recognizable bullet-point format of GPT output, this article is a straightforward WP:G3 speedy-deletable hoax. Perhaps an even more pernicious thing, hitherto undifferentiated by the speedy deletion criteria, but I will nonetheless do so myself: a "slophoax". jp×g🗯️ 18:39, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For the record I will note here that mass spectrometry is an extremely expensive and high-precision analytical technique -- it is absolutely inconceivable that it could be carried out in the course of some research and then not commented on once in a paper published from that research. The only remotely plausible explanation, when combined with the slop formatting and the other questionable claims made in the article, is that it was falsified. jp×g🗯️ 18:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the other article, allegedly based on this:
  • The enzyme was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified using affinity chromatography, and crystallized for structural analysis.
No it wasn't: all of the Cpase was obtained from a gene in B. stearothermophilus inserted into (and expressed by) P. pastoris. There's no way you could confuse this with E. coli. The paper does not mention E. coli. The only way you could possibly write this sentence is if you were making stuff up and hadn't read the paper.
The part about affinity chromatography is also false, per p33 of the paper: "Thus affinity chromatography did not appear to hold much promise".
  • The entire "applications" section is nonsense: "Structural Analysis Techniques: The methodologies utilized in the dissertation, such as X-ray crystallography and molecular modeling, serve as essential points of reference for researchers engaged in similar structural investigations of other proteins and enzymes." None of this means anything. "The methodologies utilized" here refer to -- I mean, computers were utilized in the dissertation too, that doesn't mean Wikipedia is an "application" of it. The methodologies and discoveries outlined in Frost's dissertation can seamlessly integrate into academic courses and training programs within biochemistry, microbiology, and structural biology -- what???
This article, too, is a slophoax, and needs to be speedily deleted as such. jp×g🗯️ 19:32, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Quoting page 1 of the introduction: This thesis was undertaken in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the penetration of the sulfur metabolic pathways by selenium. Specifically, an attempt was made to determine if selenium could replace sulfur in biotin synthesized by Phycomyces blakesleeanus. (emphasis mine)
    Nowhere is "sulfur" mentioned in the body of the article. The author clearly didn't read the paper and made up the whole summary (most likely with ChatGPT). Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly referenced article that's mostly based on the subject's Spotify account and fails notability and it's also promotional Blanes tree (talk) 12:01, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, If you were to look into the references, they are not his Spotify account. They are reputable fashion broadcasts which have interviewed him. There is a big difference.
Secondly, as for Notability, the Wikipedia article reads: ""Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent." Journalism in the form of podcasts, to my understanding, do not fall under this.
Lastly, I will make an effort to add more reviews of his books to provide more scope as to the census on his work; does that suffice to make it less promotional? Theobrad (talk) 12:09, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: To @Blanes tree: I think (hope?) you've misinterpreted Theobrad's comment as coming from @OwenX, who was simply doing routine maintenance. It would be nice if you would strike the rather condescending-sounding comments about Owen, who knows more than enough about notability. To @Theobrad: The podcast episodes are WP:INTERVIEWS, and as such are WP:PRIMARYSOURCES and thus cannot demonstrate notability. No matter how prominent and reputable the podcasts are, they are not "independent," since an interview is the subject talking about himself and his work. Moreover, they are to be sparingly used on Wikipedia in general, only for "straightforward, descriptive statements of facts." Hope this helps provide some context.

  • Speedy keep. I don’t think a rationale for the deletion is given (that the review is needed is reasonable but is not a reason).

  • Keep. MathSciNet has plenty of hits for "Nadel" "vanishing theorem" including seven with both phrases in their titles. I think there is a clear case for WP:GNG notability. Also, we don't take articles to AfD to ask others to review their notability; we take them to AfD when we have reason to believe they are non-notable. UtherSRG, what is that reason? The article had plenty of relevant looking sources at nomination time. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:39, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep No valid deletion rationale given, and a literature search finds plenty of sources on the topic, so it's hard to see why a deletion debate is the proper way to discuss what to do about it. To be clear, it does need work, since it combines the typical obscurity of an advanced-math stub with an awkwardness that feels like the prose was translated from another language.

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

Non-notable cemetery, fails WP:GNG, WP:NORG, WP:NGEO. All the sources here are primary source documents or WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS. (The Sarasota History Alive item is a transcription of a local historical marker that focuses more on the associated church.) The church is arguably notable (and there's a draft at Draft:Crocker Church); any reliably sourced encyclopedic content about the cemetery could be merged there. I would have draftified this page but there's already a draft at Draft:Crocker Cemetery so that's not an option and AfD is the outcome. Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:07, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete (See below first relisting banner) No sourcing found by anyone which meets our needs. That sourcing in the article is insufficient. Fails WP:GNG.

    Either this page needs to be deleted or the draft where it would get sent needs to be deleted. Different mechanically but the same general outcome. Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:57, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Draftify by merging the existing article into the existing draft. @Htystudent believed that the article had been submitted through AfC for review which is probably the best thing for it and them as a new editor. I see the potential, I found an article about volunteer efforts for the cemetery in the Sarasota Daily Tribune, and I think the differing names have made it harder but certainly not impossible to find sources. Draftify to an eventual keep, hopefully. Kazamzam (talk) 03:21, 16 July 2024 (UTC) [reply]
    Delete - both the claims of the article and the topic's overall notability, plus (allegedly) notable facts of the article cannot be verified and are under AfD proceedings. Might be merged into an eventual article on Crocker Church, per Timtrent's suggestion above, but the trifecta of articles by the original author are all insufficiently sourced with reliably citations at present. Kazamzam (talk) 18:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Kazamzam @Htystudent The article on the church is very likely notable with a focus on the reliable sources. The cemetery is more loosely sourced and I doubt will pass through AFC, but any encyclopedic content here should be included in the church article. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:33, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The cemetery and church have both received notable attention. There have been many articles written about them. If you visit Newsbank or NewspaperArchive you'd see them. However, it does require a subscription. I have cited these articles as sources. I don't really see how that can count against the article if you choose not to purchase the subscription to review them. Although, most public libraries offer these services for free on their public computers. Htystudent (talk) 13:31, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, I am unsure of how this article is up for deletion too as I quite literally submitted it for review and it was published, so it’s likely an issue with the reviewer and not me. I don’t understand how this cemetery is “non notable”. It is a historically designated location. It has to go through a strict process to even be historically designated. Htystudent (talk) 22:21, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Htystudent Please look at the history tab. This has never been through the AFC process. It appears to have been created by you, moved to Draft by another editor and then the (presumed) redirect overwritten by you later. See the logs

    You have done poor research and have not even bothered to look at the sources. If you couldn't find it why do you think an average person would be able to? That's why this page needs to exist.
    St. John's/Crocker Memorial Cemetery | Sarasota History Alive!
    This is linked directly in the article as a citation. I suggest you obtain better reading comprehension skills. Htystudent (talk) 13:16, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    (the link contains an image, that I do not own, of the historical marker.) You could have even looked up the county's historic register page Sarasota County Historical Markers (arcgis.com) and found it. It's listed under Peter Crocker (since he founded the cemetery) but discusses the cemetery as well. Htystudent (talk) 13:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Htystudent, please be WP:CIVIL. The Sarasota History Alive page lists the text of a historical marker. Under WP:NPLACE, a "buildings . . . may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." I think it's fair to say that the ~500 words of a historical marker erected by a local historical society cannot be presumed to constitute "significant in-depth coverage," and that's why we're having this discussion. (Places listed on the National Register are presumed notable; places documented by local historical groups are not and thus editors need to prove their notability using significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources.) @Oaktree b participates in a lot of these debates; I don't agree with his assessment 100% of the time, but he knows how to evaluate sources. Telling him "you have not even bothered to look at the sources" or to "obtain better reading comprehension skills" is not an appropriate way to engage here. @Timtrent is trying to help your work pass muster. I've offered my thoughts above about combining the cemetery content with the church. Your approach today is not a good way to engage with the broader community of volunteers who are working on this encyclopedia. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:30, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    When they say " I don't see that it's been listed on the NRHP or local historical register." It is clear that they have not viewed the sources, as the Sarasota History Alive page is the first source listed in the article. Not sure how you can, in good faith, opt for deletion without viewing the sources when the deletion discussion is about the sources. The Sarasota History Alive page is also not just a text. It has a photo, as I mentioned, of the physical historical marker. Htystudent (talk) 13:45, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, being listed on a local register has no bearing on notability; you need to have WP:SIGCOV in multiple secondary, independent, reliable sources and that's what's still missing from this conversation. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:00, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN ST. JOHN'S MEMORIAL CEMETERY IS A LITTLE-KNOWN BURIAL GROUND THAT, Sarasota Herald-Tribune (FL), October 4, 1998, p1D (newsbank.com)
    1560-word article solely about the cemetery (yes, it's the same cemetery. The name was changed to St. John's Cemetery, but it's still referred to as Crocker Cemtery), will be put in as a citation momentarily.
    There were also various articles published in the pelican press, now the siesta key observer, but there is no way to view those since they are not in the county library's archive. Not sure if you would consider those since you cannot view them. Htystudent (talk) 14:27, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And the NRHP will usually have a 20 page history of the building, which really helps notability. This is a long way form that. Oaktree b (talk) 23:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If you looked at the page I linked, you'd see that it is not NRHP. It is locally registered, which is still notable since the processes are very similar. Htystudent (talk) 12:32, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I also wanted to enlighten you to the fact that the Sarasota Historical Society does not have any authority to erect historical markers. Historic Designation can only be granted by the city, county, or federal level (which is a strict process). The Sarasota Historical Society is simply a volunteer organization. Htystudent (talk) 15:57, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    To be fair, the sources all appear to be paper-based (in the article at present), so I can't look at them. Oaktree b (talk) 00:19, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Is it a part of the notability guidelines that paper sources are not allowed to be used? Htystudent (talk) 17:06, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, they are not all paper based. Like I said, the first source is literally a link. Htystudent (talk) 17:07, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Htystudent - what @Oaktree b is correctly pointing out is that paper-based sources cannot be verified by other editors which largely defeats the purpose of a source - that it can be used to verify the material it claims to source. If I say I have a paper copy of the Bible that states that Jesus was 7 feet tall and an amazing point guard, but there's no other record of it, it's hardly usable as a source for the purposes of Wikipedia. Many archives have digital material to compliment the paper source and this can be linked to or at least requested to be shared by online readers. Do you see the difference here?
    Also, I'm not sure about the wisdom of pointing out (sorry, "enlightening" us) that the Sarasota Historical Society is a volunteer organization with no authority to erect historical markers or give a historic designation. That makes the third-party notability claim more dubious imho. Kazamzam (talk) 17:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It was to bolster the verity of the historical marker, which they were trying to say had no significance. Htystudent (talk) 17:26, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Which they obviously did not know historical markers, at least in Sarasota County, can only be erected by a government organization after they have gone through the strict historic designation process. Htystudent (talk) 17:27, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure how people who do not know much about the subject have final say, especially when I possess a master's level of education (Which is why I'm unsure why I just can't be taken at my word- at my sources really- for the print articles). Maybe my education is too formal, and I apologize for that, but it makes zero sense to me how the only qualification to become an editor on wikipedia is length of time. There is some knowledge of local government and history required to determine the verity and significance of some of these things. Htystudent (talk) 17:43, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Htystudent - it seems you are confused as to how Wikipedia works. 'Taking someone at their word' is the polar opposite of the notability and verification guidelines for citations. Your credentials, while pertinent to the topic, have no standing here. If it makes "zero sense" to you how Wikipedia policies work, you need to familiarize yourself with those policies that are going to determine the outcome of this AfD and others, rather than stressing the magnanimity of your credentials and that we should all just take your word about multiple, unseen paper sources because of your education. Your belittling tone and condescension towards other editors is not doing you any favours. Kazamzam (talk) 18:46, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I was not referring to wikipedia policies when I used the phrase "zero sense". It was in regard to the qualifications required to become an admin. I just think an admin should be required to have advanced education, so they are more knowledgeable, not just about wikis policies but subjects in general. Htystudent (talk) 12:36, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Htystudent - no one in this discussion is an administrator. Kazamzam (talk) 14:29, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Since I'm familiar with finding out information about historical items in Sarasota County, I'll provide some sources I found that might give insight:
    [15] Sarasota Herald Tribune has a blurb from their "Slice of Sarasota" but it looks to just restate what the historical marker states (and Sarasota History Alive page)
    [16] I noticed when searching, there used to be a church on the site that was deemed historically significant by Sarasota (never made it to NHRP) - it was moved in 2006; there's an active draft of this article - this makes me wonder if the cemetery should be merged with the church (or in the opposite way as the cemetery would include a church by definition) - a separate discussion
    [17] Article about the church needing repairs, again the Sarasota History Alive page is referenced
    [18] Church is mentioned in passing
    I want to say there's a possibility, but it might require books specific to the history of the area. For the church and cemetery, you would need to look at Manatee County as it existed before Sarasota County was created. The timing would also be when Sarasota was a town. There's also the possibility of merging with what I explained above. – The Grid (talk) 14:21, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I just noticed Peter Crocker is also an active AfD and will be dependent on this AfD discussion. – The Grid (talk) 14:26, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you. There is existing information, through the (relatively recent) restoration of the cemetery. Bill Whetzel, cemetery coordinator, made a big splash between 1998 and 2004 when the cemetery was facing issues (discussed in the issues section of this article) and submitted various press releases to the Pelican Press to make the story public. However, I only have the print copies of these articles. I cannot find them online. Htystudent (talk) 14:31, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If the print copies are referenceable, please use the correct citation template and use them. We may make limited quotations from them using the quote parameter. Note, please that we still require them to be WP:RS and require that they have significant coverage, and are independent of the cemetery. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This article has been updated with five additional sources that comply with WP:GNG, now making it appropriate for publishing. Htystudent (talk) 15:52, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I reviewed the additional sources the creator added to the article, and I'm afraid they don't pass the test. Here's my analysis
    Sarasota History Alive: A transcription of a historical marker that mostly focuses on the church and has one paragraph on the cemetery - not WP:SIGCOV.
    Herald Tribune on church restoration: This is entirely about the church and only mentions the cemetery in a single sentence - not SIGCOV.
    Your Observer 1 and 2. This is the same story at two different links. Four paragraphs amid a discussion of other cemeteries - not the in-depth SIGCOV we need.
    Herald Tribune, "Slice of Sarasota". This is a nice piece about the cemetery written as a human interest story. (Literally: "'Slice of Sarasota' is an occasional glimpse of the fascinating life that goes on quietly every day around us, waiting for us to stop and pay attention.") According to our policies at WP:NEWSORG, "Human interest reporting is generally not as reliable as news reporting, and may not be subject to the same rigorous standards of fact-checking and accuracy."
    Herald Tribune, "Gone but Not Forgotten". This I could count as WP:SIGCOV in a reliable, secondary, independent source.
    However, we need multiple sources and I don't see another one that passes the test for me. That's why I've urged including this material with the church article, but as a standalone article my view remains "delete." Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:04, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I added them to note but agreeing to your assessment as I said the same thing above. I think extensive sources exist but it might involve some extensive research beyond this AfD duration. – The Grid (talk) 13:15, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    So, if I add citations to the 2 print articles of the Pelican Press would you consider those? They are only available in print. Htystudent (talk) 12:56, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Htystudent As you might expect, this depends whether they are significant coverage, independent of the cemetery, and are in reliable sources. No-one will give you a verdict sight unseen. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:22, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    So how would I share? I don't think I can upload images here and even if I could I'm sure there would be an issue with copyright. Htystudent (talk) 17:23, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Check the age against copyright laws in you jurisdiction. Or simply take the risk, make sparing use of the quote parameter in the cite template. I have said this before. ^^^^^^^ Up there 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:25, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm impressed by the lengths some editors have gone to to find sources to support this article, this is not typical for most AFD discussions I work on. Several participants have mentioned a potential Merge with the church article but have not "voted" for this result so I just wanted to float the idea now that if this is an outcome you support, state this directly in this discussion and the AFD concerning the church.

    @Liz I went ahead and merged encyclopedic content into Draft:Crocker Church. I'm not sure we can !vote for a merge since that would involve a cross-namespace redirect until the draft article clears AFC, though, can we? Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I appreciate your attempt to contribute but there is some inaccurate and missing information in there (as my histories attempt to be as whole as possible). Since I have direct access to the cemetery records ( I know, not wiki approved sources, but still factual nonetheless), everything I put in my original article is true and accurate. Why was the content here not copy and pasted into a section titled “cemetery”? I can do it myself if it has something to do with plagiarism. Htystudent (talk) 03:20, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You seem to believe that local tax disputes and leases to Boston Market and lists of non-notable trustees are something other than trivial content that does not belong in an encyclopedia. The point is not to include every detail that was noted in the cemetery records you have access to. “As whole as possible” is NOT the goal of Wikipedia. I’ve been trying to help rescue the truly encyclopedic content from your contributions and you appear uninterested in accepting that help, so I do not think it will be productive to engage further here. My !vote remains delete. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:05, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Seeing as you did not even spell the name of the road it is located on correctly, I'm not sure if your rescue attempt is very helpful (to me or Wikipedia readers). Like I said, thank you for your attempt but since I am the one most versed in the methods of historical writing and the subject, I think it's best for me to continue the editing on Crocker Church.

I wasn't able to find significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources. There is a Digi.no article, but it consists of telling what one of the organizers said. Other than that, I was only able to find mentions and short descriptions, such as "The two pure demo parties in Norway are Solskogen, which is organised in July every year, and Kindergarden, which is held in November. Kindergarden can boast that it is the world's oldest demo party that is still organised."

A possible alternative to deletion is a redirect to Demoscene#List of demoparties. toweli (talk) 14:35, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect: All the sources are self-published or that Digi.no article which is pretty much just an event announcement. Could not find anything on google for it either.

More electioncruft articles, except all of these are in a town of less than 50,000 people, or 870th in the country. Not notable for the usual reasons, Wikipedia is NOT a political database. Fails the general notability guideline, as all sources are WP:MILL in local news stations or papers. Additionally, no coverage is sustaining, failing WP:NEVENT. I am Nominating the following articles as well:

  • Also these elections did have sustained coverage. It occurred for over a year as the elections occurred. There is an obvious reason why nobody talks about an election after it happens. I don't see too many recent news stories about the 2018 Tennessee gubernatorial election. Jon698 (talk) 01:01, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Which election had sustained coverage? For example, 2012 only had a single source. I did not include 2009 because it looked like it had some sustained coverage. WP:ITSNOTABLE is not an argument unfortunately. If you want to compromise, I would be fine with merging these articles. -1ctinus📝🗨 01:08, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
