Non-notable musical theatre actor. There are online reviews for a few things he has been featured in (for example, a Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime), but most results are just passing mentions in casting annoucements etc - there was also an article he wrote for The Independent about Alan Turing getting put on a new banknote.
In other words, no significant secondary coverage. Leonstojka (talk) 12:19, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

- Question: what does GSA in the article stand for? Bearian (talk) 08:41, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- I'm at weak keep at this moment. I did a fair amount of editing of the article and added more recent information along with references. So far I have found one solid review and other brief ones. He seems to be mainly doing musical theater now, and I will keep looking for sources. There are more sources that could feed into the article in the sense of comments by reviewers, if that would help. I'd like to hear what others think at this point, before I put more time in.

- Comment This is currently a case of WP:OFFLINE where the article's supporting information isn't accessible enough to make a call, but on the available citations, it's not very impressive. The Symposium paper is the only secondary significant coverage I can see - the others are primary sources. Again, only on the merit of available sourcing, which would likely change would lean delete absent a search for other sourcing. VRXCES (talk) 12:19, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Article is entirely unreferenced save for a link to what seems to be some sort of a social networking site in the external links section.

- Keep. I created the article because the album forms part of a notable artistic shift for Natasha St-Pier. The artist is one of the best known contemporary female French pop artists, known for her appearance in Eurovision Song Contest 2001, and for a string of hit albums of a strictly secular nature. Her shift to a Catholic devotional theme created considerable comment, as is reflected in the biography on the RFI website: note that this significant coverage in a reliable, independent source. SRamzy (talk) 10:35, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- @User:SRamzy if this was so significant in her musical biography, there should be a couple of article that discuss this that appear in WP:RS. Could you provide any such discussions of this album in particular and add them to the article? --hroest 19:19, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Coverage of racing career is minimal, limited to database entries & generic entry list sources.

- ReggaeEDM (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This AI-generated article (note the telltale Example text
at the end of the URLs) is an exercise in WP:OR. There is a single artist out there, Kevens, who describes his own influences as including both reggae and EDM ([2], [3]). As a result of his self-description, a handful of sources describe Kevens as a reggaeEDM
or reggae/EDM
artists, but these are all WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS and do not provide WP:SIGCOV of this genre ([4] [5] [6] [7]) None of the other artists listed in the article are described in reliable sources as working in this supposed subgenre. There are no reliable, independent, secondary sources that provide WP:SIGCOV of this topic as a subgenre and thus fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. The remaining sources describe music as drawing from both genres without describing it as a new genre ([8] [9]), or they talk only about reggae ([10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20]) or only about EDM ([21], [22]), or mention both but don't draw any connection ([23] [24]). Other sources are unusable because they are self-published blogs ([25] [26]), non-independent ([27], or are social media posts ([28]). All of this results in a strange fusion of WP:PROMO and WP:SYNTH to fabricate a single artist's self-description into a new subgenre. Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:06, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Advertorialized article about a radio station, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing inclusion criteria for media outlets. As always, radio stations are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to pass WP:GNG on their sourceability -- but apart from one citation to a music blog that isn't a reliable source (and wouldn't be enough to get this over GNG all by itself even if we did handwave it through), this is otherwise referenced entirely to the station's own self-published content about itself, which is not support for notability at all.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the station from having to have much, much better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 14:15, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Article about a ceremonial mayor, not properly referenced as having any serious claim to passing WP:NPOL. As always, British mayors of the "everybody on council gets to be mayor for a year instead of being generally elected to the position" type are not inherently notable enough for Wikipedia just for being mayors per se -- they can qualify for articles if they can be shown as the subject of enough WP:GNG-worthy coverage in reliable media sources to pass WP:NPOL #2, but are not automatically entitled to have articles just for existing. But this is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all -- nine of the ten footnotes were self-published by the city council itself, and the other one is a directory entry -- with not a single reliable or GNG-building piece of media coverage shown at all.

A crossroads with one farmstead which judging by the aerials has hardly changed in seventy years. So given that it's named after a postmaster, almost certainly just a 4th class post office.

There's no harm in keeping it, and no specific violation of Wikipedia policy or guidelines to delete it. Truthanado (talk) 01:06, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- OK, I see I will have to spell it out. As a rule, per WP:GEOLAND, only settlements get a pass on having to satisfy WP:GNG, which this place certainly does not: it's barely attested to, and by two sources which have problems. Of you will take a look at WP:GNIS, you can see the kind of problems with it that have caused us to disregard its "populated place" categorization as implying a settlement. In this case it's clear that the place was a 4th class post office, back before RFD, when people had to go and pick up their mail rather than having it delivered. We've found these in all sorts of places, and having it someone's house is quite common. That leaves us with Baker's place names origin book. After all this time in Indiana, it has become clear that when he says a place is a village, he's not very reliable about that.
- As far as the "harm" is concerned, first off, the WP euphemism of "community" to describe these places is largely unsourceable. It is quite clear after years of dealing with hundreds of these that "populated place" cannot be taken to imply a town or a "community" because there are too many flat-out mistakes, never minding the whole post office thing. We've consistently held that these 4th class post offices aren't notable. "Community" doesn't mean anything concrete anyway. In a lot of cases we can find turn-of-the-century county histories which are generally pretty clear about places where there was an actual town or at least an attempt to have one. The problem in the large is that these articles were mass-created from GNIS without appreciation of its problems, and in some states (though not Indiana so much) the other sources such as place name books were misrepresented. "Community" seems to have been seized upon in an attempt to have people read these places as towns which satisfy GEOLAND without actually claiming that they were towns. So the issue is really about telling the truth about these places, because if truth were told, that many of these were just places to pick up mail, or places with passing sidings and perhaps a station stop on the railroad, or summer camps and resorts, they would be deleted because they don't satisfy GNG.

- Delete Just a onetime post office, fails WP:GEOLAND without high-quality sources (a listing of post offices is no such thing), plus all the reasons nom listed. As for "no harm in keeping it", our articles are constantly being scraped for geolocations and to train AI, and keeping nonsense stubs like this is polluting these data with noise. I just typed "yenne indiana auto detailing" into Google and at the top of the list were two Yelp listings for auto detailing "near" Yenne, and only after consulting a map could you determine they were all 50+ miles away.

- Keep. Although he lost the recount and thus isn't notable as a politician per se, he already had preexisting notability as a journalist before jumping into politics — seriously, Canadians have known his name since the 1990s, and the fact that nobody got around to creating the article until he appeared to have won election as an MP isn't relevant. Article does need some improvement, but he had preexisting notability as a journalist long before narrowly losing an election. Bearcat (talk) 15:09, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Does not pass WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. Searching on gscholar, archive.org found virtually nothing except content about books they published, which they do not inherit the notability of. Even for a book publisher there are also not that many hits for their books, it is almost entirely citations to one book they published (which is notable), to an extent where I was able to look through the citations relatively completely. The 4th source is sigcov... but written by the founder of the company. The single piece of independent sigcov is the 5th source in this article, which is [29] this, which is fine. But that is only 1 source. Not enough for GNG or the higher NCORP. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:41, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

- Creator here. I've added three more independent sources, being a scholarly monograph, an art market paper and an obituary. It seems to me that it constitutes substantial coverage alongside the existing ones, and the fact that new research is appearing on it sixteen years after it closed is a sign of notability. Thanks! Sheijiashaojun (talk) 06:48, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- The monograph has a paragraph, the obituary has 1 mention. The other source has 3 sentences. Not horrible, but not enough to pass WP:NCORP. I realize Mabel Lee has an article and she is the founder so now instead of deletion I would recommend merging to Mabel Lee. PARAKANYAA (talk) 06:58, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- : Have added another source in Chinese. Of course I understand that the source base is small, but I wrote the article because I couldn't figure out what this press that had published several important writers was. Having figured out via research what it was, it seems to me very much the point of Wikipedia editing to provide that information for others. I can guarantee that it is notable for people working on translation studies in Australia, which I grant you is a small group, but we exist. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 07:51, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- I don't dispute that you made this article for a good reason but the sources here do not pass WP:SIRS (required for organization articles). Notability isn't inherited from the books they publish. If it is merged the information on the publisher won't be deleted. PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:48, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- Have added another source that I consider to be SIRS if you care to review. I suppose much of it rides on what you think is 'significant.' There are now four English IRS sources of several sentences and a fifth one in Chinese. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 12:25, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- That source is fine. Now we have the two sources about the company, but this is still not enough for WP:NCORP per WP:MULTSOURCES. The rest are one or two sentence mentions, which do not count for notability. The rest of the English sources are passing, and the Chinese source mentions them for a single sentence ( non WP:SIRS coverage). PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:50, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- To be factual, besides the sources you don't dispute (Galik; Taylor), Brennan is by the narrowest definition four sentences and Bruno three (or four if you also include p. 121). The Chinese source mentions them not, as you write, for a single sentence, but two (it doesn't permit copy-pasting, but the section begins with 其中 and goes to footnote 6). In all of these cases the surrounding text also bears on the situation of WP in the translation and publishing environment of the day. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 21:36, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- Only sentence in the Chinese source that refers to them: "其中A.R.戴维斯的“杜甫雨诗赏析”是我读到的最好最真切的唐诗英译! 80年代初悉尼大学的Mabel Lee(陈顺妍)博士还创立了野牡丹出版社,出版了大量优秀的亚洲文学翻译作品以及早期移民的英文作品比如来自广东的Stanley Hunt先生写的《从石岐到悉尼》" [
- [One of the best and most authentic English translations of Tang poems I have ever read is A.R. Davies' “An Appreciation of Du Fu's Rain Poems”! In the early 80's, Dr. Mabel Lee (Chen Shunyan) from the University of Sydney also founded the Wild Peony Press, which published a large number of excellent translations of Asian literature, as well as early immigrants' works in English, such as “From Shiqi to Sydney” written by Mr. Stanley Hunt from Guangdong.] the footnote is a citation and does not contain more sentences. The next sentence does not mention them, only Lee. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- Using text on the "surrounding situation" would be WP:SYNTH.
- And sentences about Lee that do not mention Peony do not count for information on the publisher. And three sentences in a single short paragraph is also not WP:SIRS ... I can't access anything in Southerly but I would be surprised if the quality of coverage was any different. Most of these sources are really about Lee. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:26, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- You're right about the Chinese source; I misread, apologies. As for Southerly, it isn't fair to make assumptions if you haven't read it. From p. 215 of the Southerly article:
- To be factual, besides the sources you don't dispute (Galik; Taylor), Brennan is by the narrowest definition four sentences and Bruno three (or four if you also include p. 121).

"Considering the decline in foreign language education over the last ten years — especially those languages key to our region such as Bahasa Indonesia, Mandarin and Japanese — it might be said, in Howardspeak, monolingualism is all about a fair go. This is a sad possibility for the broader Australian community, which is in actu - ality richly polyglot. Thankfully, Mabel Lee’s and A. D. Syrokomia- Stefanowska’s work with Wild Peony has been a particular boon, bringing in work that may not have otherwise appeared, and is part of a larger, albeit under-sup ported, effort on the part of Australian translators, native-speaking collabor tors and publishers to offer foreign language literature to an Australian audience. Mabel Lee’s translations of Nobel Prize winner Gao Xingjian and Yang Lian, Simon Patton’s translations, editing and collaboration through the Chinese pages of Poetry International Web, Ouyang Yu’s work with Otherland, Peter Boyle’s translations from Spanish and French, and Leith Morton’s translations of Shuntaro Tanikawa, Ishigaki Rin, and Koike Masayo, along with various Australian literary journals (notably Heat and Southerly), and Melbourne University’s Asialink Program are some of the key recent examples of Australian translators and pub - lishers working against the abashed and embarrassed tide of Australian monolingualism. The publication of collections such as Naikan Tao and Tony Prince’s Eight Contemporary Chinese Poets, and the work of small publishers such as Wild Peony Press, are an important move against cultural parochialism. Sadly, Tao’s and Prince’s anthol - ogy represents one of the last publications for Wild Peony. It is difficult not to think, the Australian literary community might be well served supplementing the proliferation of annual Best of Australian Poetry anthologies with a Best of World Poetry or a Best of Poetry in Translation. Going by Tao’s and Prince’s Eight Contemporary Chinese Poets, the benefits would be considerable." When I say "surrounding situation" I just mean that Michael Brennan (poet) is here substantially talking about the role of Wild Peony (among other publishers) in Australian letters, even when he does not write "Wild Peony" in every sentence.WP:SYNTH does not apply and it is not all about Mabel Lee.

These publications are not often covered in mainstream press, yet their publications play a role in literary communities.

- Wikipedia has always required that topics be notable as established via WP:RS.

- Keep— many of the authors who have been published by Elixir Press continue to be active and are producing new works. Because of the nature of Elixir’s work as an independent press focused in part on debut authors, several authors may have been lesser known at the time of their publication, but have grown in notability. Agree that to focus on the possible deletion of an article on an independent press is particularly troubling when literature and the arts are being devalued at large. 64.135.133.153 (talk) 22:59, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

It is one of a few presses that new poets DREAM their work will be published by. People in the poetry world look to it too, to identify and read up and coming writers.

Queer folks liberate Jesus’s fleshliness imprisoned within Christian heteronormative and cisgender theologies—promoted by the biblical industrial complex and aligned with authoritarian politics. Queer imaginations have unleashed perverse impulses that reinscribe Jesus within a variety of artistic mediums. Anthropologist Will Roscoe reclaims Jesus in the shamanic tradition of same-sex love, while in Jesus in Love, Kittredge Cherry re-imagines a bisexual, transgender Jesus, who is also an erotic mystic, manifesting a gender fluidity. ... On Netflix, there is a Brazilian film portraying a gay Jesus and weed-smoking Mary. Jesus comes out the wilderness with a young gay companion named Orlando, and they are erotically involved. ... Kittredge Cherry ... worked with gay artist Douglas Blanchard on The Passion of the Cross: A Gay Vision, which depicts Jesus as a contemporary gay man who suffers and dies from fundamentalist Christian hatred in 24 stations of the cross. ... The British transwoman Jo Clifford wrote and produced a one-woman play, The Gospel According to Jesus Queen of the Heaven, at the Edinburgh fringe festival. ... Finally, Terrence McNally’s play Corpus Christi has received threats and protests from the Catholic League and other Christian fundamentalist groups as it opened at the Manhattan Theater in 1998 and was forced to close down two weeks later.

Cases involving satirical cartoons of a religious nature also illustrate the complexity of the theme. ... In the United States, Terrence McNally's play Corpus Christi, which portrays Jesus as homosexual, has faced censorship and protests. ... In Brazil there was a very similar case in 2018. The play The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven, written by British playwright Jo Clifford, was staged in the interior of São Paulo. The play presented Jesus as a transsexual woman. ... The case involving the 2019 Christmas special, produced by the comedy group Porta dos Fundos, entitled The First Temptation of Christ, is a milestone in the debates on artistic and religious freedom in Brazil.

In 1996 Leo Steinberg described the sexuality of Christ as “Christianity’s greatest taboo.” Those who dare, as Kwok Pui-Lan argues, to touch this taboo almost as a rule meet disbelief, disgust, protest, threats, and sometimes violence. Representations of Jesus in film and drama provide no exception. The First Temptation joins a distinguished list of targets, which include Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ and Terrence McNally’s play Corpus Christi, in which Jesus and the apostles appear as gay men in Texas. Bomb threats against the latter elicited security measures at performances. The erotic life of Jesus, even the straight Jesus but more intensely the gay one, remains taboo, and those who touch risk scorn.

- I'll have to look into including some of the ones Shore-Goss mentioned that currently aren't in the list. For what it's worth, even if none of this coverage existed, I'd still argue that this passes WP:NLIST on navigational grounds, namely that it replaced a bunch of see-alsos from the different articles to one another, and keeps them from all needing to be see-also'd from Sexuality and marital status of Jesus (where we're now able to have an easy hatnote for the Gay Jesus redirect). -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 23:32, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article is a POV coatrack that lacks a clearly defined scope and makes a variety of elisions. The introductory sentence, "Zionist", "Zionazi", and "Zio" are commonly used as politically pejorative terms by Anti-Zionists against supporters of Israel
treats three different terms as if they were the same and fails WP:Verifiability. Some content, if properly disentangled and if supported by quality sources, could perhaps be merged into Anti-Zionism. إيان (talk) 22:09, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I moved this article last year from Zio (pejorative) to Zionist as a pejorative. Dr vulpes (Talk) 22:17, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
Support deletion/merge - agree w/ coatrack, this would make much more section as a subsection in Zionism/Anti-zionism etc. Would still need a rewrite e.g. why is the lead giving weight to ADL's alleging it is being used as a slur when ADL is listed on WP's unreliable sources when being used in contexts of Israel-Palestine and antisemitism? "...general unreliability of the ADL extends to the intersection of the topics of antisemitism and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict." Yours ToeSchmoker (talk) 22:31, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- @ToeSchmoker saying that the ADL has a position on something is still in line with WP:NPOV, even if it can't be used as a source. I gave a longer explanation of the policy over at Talk:Gaza_genocide#RfC:_Genocide_in_wikivoice/opening_sentence. Dr vulpes (Talk) 05:16, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- I would still be inclined to disagree given this part in the opening para of NPOV policy: "all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic." (emphasis my own) I stand corrected in that it is not sourced in the lead (FWIW they are however explicitly cited in the Reception section) but given the results of this RfC (chiefly the part re ADL and antisemitism in the context of Zionism specifically) I would err heavily on the side of caution in giving them weight at all in this topic . Ignoring this, there are further issues with sourcing in general e.g. see the second para under History - the statistics (80% and 85% figures) are given in the cited articles but where is the rest of this paragraph coming from? I would hope maybe a couple citations have dropped off along the way but as it stands it does look like an egregious bit of synthesis. ToeSchmoker (talk) 08:58, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

This article does not contain many actions done by NK, mostly things that have happened to her.
The subject of this article largely organizes local, student protests and does not meet the standards of WP:N. We do not have a wikipedia page for every student activist.
Often this article focuses on the actions of other, notable entities, such as Act.IL, rather than the actions of NK. We're left with a persecutory narrative of a student organizer that flirts between WP:PROMO and WP:SCANDAL via the actions of more notable entities.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamnotanorange~enwiki (talk • contribs) 19:31, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The encyclopedia already has many, many articles listing tall buildings. The encyclopedia also has many categories related to tall buildings.
This new article has several issues: (a) does not conform to proper title convention (should be "List of ..."); (b) 90% of the facts (rows) do not have any citation validating the facts of the row; and most importantly: (c) this list is duplicative of all the other "tall building" lists already in the encyclopedia... every time a new record is broken, this is one more list to update.
If the consensus is to keep this list, at a minimum it must be properly sourced. There is no lack of sources in the other, existing List articles. Noleander (talk) 18:40, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- I posted the above AfD as part of WP:NPP effort. After making the post, I see another editor, User:Remsense had similar thoughts two weeks ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tallest_structures_by_category&diff=1289324742&oldid=1289202581 Remsense deleted the article and replaced it with a redirect to List of tallest buildings and structures. Then, the article creator returned and re-created the article.
- Probably should do that same "Delete and redirect" action again. Noleander (talk) 18:44, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Strong keep. Although if you'd like to change the article name to List of tallest structures by category, I have no objection to that.
- The article says, for example, that the tallest clock tower is the Abraj Al Bait, at 601 meters. It links to an article with a list of the tallest clock towers, and another article all about the Abraj Al Bait. Those other articles have sources. Although if you'd like to add sources here too, I'd be in favor of that.
- It's true that this article is a bit duplicative of all the other lists. But I think it's useful having a single article like this to combine them all, and see how each category compares to the other. One more list to update isn't that big a deal.
- For those who are just joining us, this article used to be a single section of a larger article titled List of tallest buildings and structures. Here is how it looked when they were together. But it didn't really have anything in common with the rest of that article (which was the history of the world's tallest structures), so this section was recently made into a separate article of its own, and the remainder had its name changed. Remsense thought they should stay together, rather than being separate articles, which we discussed. But I don't think anyone has previously suggested it should be deleted altogether. This information has been on Wikipedia at its prior location for a long time. It does lack references, but it's a good article, it's been pretty high profile, and a lot of people have contributed to it. - Burner89751654 (talk) 20:13, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

I don't believe it's duplicative, the creator has been working on improving organziation of tallest building lists recently. More sources are certainly needed but there's no basis for deletion given.

This article fails to meet the notability guidelines as outlined in WP:N. The subject is not the focus of any significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. The few mentions that do exist are passing and do not provide the depth of material necessary to support a standalone article. Most of the sources cited are either not about the subject or use it only as a brief example without substantial analysis or dedicated discussion. Given the lack of notability and meaningful coverage, the article does not justify its own space. Deletion or merging into a broader, more relevant topic (if applicable) would be more appropriate.

- Meril-Prothom Alo Awards are the non-notable award? maybe there was no sources mentioned about the awards in the previous pages! So, due to a vulnerability editor previously created or single editor repeatedly recreating this article, this "probably notable" will never be accepted? check the career section, i tried rewriting to make it neutral. wouldn't he pass WP:NACTOR for his roles in various films, web series, web films, television drama and short films from 2017-2024? Aqsis Bey (talk) 00:19, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- AfDs are not based on what is present on a page at the time. It matters what is available in reliable soruces (see WP:BEFORE). So, my question remains...what has changed since the last AfD with these awards to make the subject notable under NACTOR? I am unsure what you mean by vulnerability of an editor or what its relation to notability is so cannot opine on that comment. For NACTOR, having "roles in various films" does not earn someone inherent notability. In fact, it must be lead roles in "notable" films (commonplace in NACTOR deletion discussions - let me know and I can link a few for you). If they did have lead roles, we still need significant coverage (not just verification) that talks about them in those roles. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:06, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

- That was a misstatement as one of the awards is notable. The others are not as we do not list awards without Wikipedia pages in film projects. My point is that nothing notable has happened since the last AfD unless it can be pointed out there has (which I cannot see). Also, I am unsure what country size has to do with notability but if you can clarify maybe I am missing something. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:02, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

I'm going to resist the temptation to get in and sort this out and improve it as it will take up too much of my time. I hope some folks can get in. It does have the making of a good article, but this like many others gets nominated for deletion because of lack of refs.

- I have made improvements to the article, in particular finding new secondary sources with adequate coverage of the charity. Roughly half of the sources used in the article are now secondary.
- If it is still deemed that the article is lacking in secondary sources, perhaps a fair resolution to this would be to change the 'Article for deletion' template to a 'Primary sources' template?

I’m open to improving the article with better references if that helps. A merge could work, but I’d prefer to try building it up a bit first—worth a shot before removing it entirely.

This is essentially WP:OR based on an obscure research article with lots of WP:COI added in. It is tied to the article Ahmed Sarirete that was created by the same user presumably as WP:PROMO and which is also currently under consideration for deletion. Essentially the concept seems to be introduced in this obscure academic article https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/ccr/vol66/iss66/9/ which has been cited a total of 7 times in the last 13 years and does not have seemed to have gained any traction. While not totally made up, most of it is WP:OR or WP:FRINGE with some references to existing topics but the term does not seem to be widely accepted in academia as a search in JSTOR and Google Scholar shows. --hroest 17:43, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Next, his tenuous relationship with a famous foundation is not explained. Finally, it's too promotional in tone. Ping me if you can fix this mess of a page. Bearian (talk) 01:51, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete There is a long list of references but hardly relevant. He has written books but are they notable, Hard to find news about his books. I even couldn’t find any reliable book reviews to understand more about the subject. Neither there are coverage on subject in independent sources. He clearly fails WP:NAUTHOR. Above all article is promoting the individual by language and contents as well. Rahmatula786 (talk) 05:43, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – The article clearly meets both WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR.
The article contains citations from
[edit]- Times of India – National daily; easily passes “newspaper of record” bar for reliability.[1]
- The Daily Star – Independent, third-party literary criticism → satisfies NAUTHOR #3.[2]
- Indiablooms – National digital news-wire, independent.[3]
- The Telegraph – Independent national daily (mostly popular in West Bengal and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands).[4]
- Trans World Features – in-depth author interview.[5]
Each of these pieces is non-PR and non-paid. Together they comfortably exceed the two-source threshold of WP:GNG.
Publishing credentials
[edit]- ISBN citations include works from Rupa Publications – one of India’s oldest mainstream publishers.
- N.E. Publishers and Smriti Publishers – both commercial, audited presses (not vanity).
This, plus multiple in-depth reviews (at least on two books), means Victor Ghoshe meets WP:NAUTHOR outright.
Additional evidence of lasting impact
[edit]- Library holdings: Tomb of God is catalogued in the Kerala State Central Library – the country’s second-oldest public library.[6]
- International distribution: The novel is stocked by Waterstones UK (brick-and-mortar chain).[7]
- Cultural cross-overs: Launches were headlined by National Film-Award legend Soumitra Chatterjee (for Tomb of God) and Sahitya Akademi winner Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay (for Paranormal 2).[3]
These points strengthen the “enduring, not temporary” aspect of notability per WP:N.
On the Gates Foundation mention
[edit]- The caption of the image is the only evidence for that collaboration. If this single citation is insufficient, we can remove the claim without affecting notability.
Addressing the objections
[edit]- Mentions are not trivial: Coverage comes from mainstream dailies.
- No independent book reviews: Daily Star piece is a 1 000-word critique; TOI article devotes its entire feature to dissecting plot and historical backdrop.
- Tone is promotional: Agreed. The solution is copy-editing, not deletion.

Keep – The article has been significantly improved with the addition of reliable sources, including recent news coverage of Sikhwal Brahmin community activities in 2024. Furthermore, the historical significance of the community is well-documented in published works such as Sikhwal Rajasthan Itihas by N.M. Sharma. Based on these verifiable and reliable references, the article meets Wikipedia’s general notability guideline (WP:GNG). Sahi1up (talk) 15:56, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Sikhwal Rajasthan Itihas is a self published source published by Sikhwal publications (owned by Sikhwal community). 🦅Durjan Singh Jadon (talk) 16:57, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – Although Sikhwal Rajasthan Itihas is a community-published source, Wikipedia policies like WP:RS and WP:SOURCES allow such materials when they deal with non-controversial information about the subject itself, especially when no other comprehensive sources exist. Moreover, Sikhwal Brahmins have received coverage in independent regional news outlets such as Rajasthan Patrika and Dainik Bhaskar, which have reported on community events, cultural traditions, and social leadership. These sources provide significant, non-trivial coverage and meet the standards set out in WP:GNG. While the article could be improved with better inline citations and formatting, the subject clearly passes the notability threshold. Deletion is not appropriate in this case.

Since he only played 49 minutes in the highest Swedish league, and continued in the non-pro third tier, it's unquestionable to me that he fails WP:SPORTCRIT, regarding having competed on the "highest level". But does he meet GNG? He has coverage such as [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52]. My opinion is that the coverage is not quite good enough, being a mix of local, interview-heavy, routine and not-significant-enough coverage. Geschichte (talk) 14:37, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. After reading WP:SPORTCRIT I don't feel the slightest doubt that Mohammad Ahmadi (footballer) doesn't satisfy the criteria for notability. Unfortunately, however, the problem is not unique to him: there are a huge number of footballers on Wikipedia whose notability is highly questionable. The other day I was consulting the List of people from Santiago, looking for Eduardo Frei Montalva, a genuinely notable person. I was surprised to find that 179 of the entries (about 40% of the total) were for footballers. I find it impossible to believe that all 179 satisfy WP:SPORTCRIT. Someone (not me, because I don't know enough about football) needs to undertake a massive deletion of all the non-notable footballers on Wikipedia. Looking at the history of the List of people from Santiago I see that a great many articles were created (and many were rapidly reverted) in an orgy of creativity by 79.55.141.206 during a few weeks of 2023.

- Delete per nom. Doesn't have enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. WP:BEFORE is hard here, because domdaniel is also a word meaning "a den of inquiry",[55]. There's also a WP:NOTDIC issue here where the article just extracts WP:OR of various times the word has been used. It seems to have been coined in One Thousand and One Nights, so there could be a valid WP:ATD as a search term. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:22, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to List of mythological places as an WP:Alternative to deletion. This is a relevant place in two works of fiction, which is referenced in a number of younger works of fiction as can be seen in the number of primary and secondary sources both present in the article and especially those appearing in the WP:BEFORE search. This role and connectivity in my view goes beyond a dictionary definition, so this should have some place on Wikipedia. Presence in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable indicates that as well. There's a rather extensive discussion in this paper on the Thalaba version. Oriental influences in the English Literature of the early nineteenth century, p. 25, discusses the Arabian Nights - Thalaba connection. Britain and the Muslim World, p. 132 has an interesting one-sentence-comparison to Hogwarts. The secondary sources I've seen in a brief search are short on the Domdaniel beyond the specific work of Thalaba, so I don't think a stand-alone article is warranted so far, but deletion would be a loss.

- weak Keep : the problem with subjects like this is that we require reliable secondary sources, not just usage of the term in primary works of fiction/poems/tales. So preferably a (scholarly) discussion about the place, not just evidence that the word is used by someone. I found [56] [57] [58] (probably there are more) on top of the three sources found above which is not as in depth as I would like but at least there are multiple independent secondary sources on this topic which should be enough for a short article. --hroest 13:52, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, — Benison (Beni · talk) 14:01, 8 May 2025 (UTC)- Delete - This article appears to be promotional in nature, as evidenced by its edit history and previous discussions at Articles for Deletion. A cursory search reveals that the subject, H477r1ck, is actually James Ball, who serves on the board of HackMiami. This raises concerns about a potential conflict of interest, given HackMiami's status as a for-profit organization with a history of using Wikipedia for self-promotional purposes, notably to advertise their conference. Furthermore, the article contains citations that are either unreliable or missing altogether, which compromises its overall reliability and neutrality.

- Contesting Deletion
- This article substantially improves upon the previously deleted version by adding verifiable, independent sources demonstrating Ilyas El Maliki’s notability per WP:GNG:
- Global Digital Influence: Ranked by Dexerto as the 12th-largest Kick streamer worldwide and Africa’s #1.
- International Sports Role: Official chairman of Morocco’s national team at the Kings World Cup 2024, (Video of the game on Kings League's channel), with repeat invitation for 2025 alongside stars like Lamine Yamal.
- Addressing Systemic Bias
- While I respect Wikipedia’s deletion processes, I must note the recurring difficulty in establishing notability for clearly significant figures from Morocco and the broader MENA region. Despite providing verifiable, independent sources (including industry rankings and international tournament participation), articles like this face disproportionate scrutiny compared to Western counterparts with similar or lesser achievements.
- I urge editors to consider whether this reflects unconscious bias rather than policy compliance. Improve articles, not deleting them, should always be the first option. ~~~~ Rap no Davinci (talk) 19:30, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete or speedy delete per previous AfD, little change. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:16, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- Contesting Deletion
- the original article of the subject got deleted because claimed "No real sign of notability", I list a number of sources proving that the subject is indeed notable:
- - International Tournament Participation: Kings League World Cup 2025.
- - Top 15 Streamers Worldwide: ranked at 12.
- - Massive coverage by Moroccan press both in English (more), and Arabic.
- if all these still don't make the subject notable, then sure go ahead and delete. ~~~~ Rap no Davinci (talk) 10:27, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- Update:
- just to add one more thing (a fact and a message):
- The first 3 months of 2023, the subject of this article was the most streamed gamer on YouTube, surpassing IShowSpeed, all this achieved through a dialect (Darija) spoken by about 40 million people, not a major language (English spoken by over 2 billion people). But somehow he is not notable!
- It's really demotivating to continue contributing to Wikipedia against all these (unconscious) biases. This is not an accusation, it's studied and proved, "Reliability of Wikipedia". We come here with good intention to contribute, but seems like not on English Wikipedia, unfortunately. El Maliki is literally the biggest streamer in all of Africa according to all reliable sources included (like Dexerto).
- respectfully, ~~~~ Rap no Davinci (talk) 15:06, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep (still new here, I just learnt that this is the right term)!
- so, since these discussions are NOT VOTES, then it should be that if 1 editor is able to present sufficient RSs on the subject, it won't matter how many spam "speedy delete"
- Allow me to list an organized number of RSs testifying to the notability of the subject of this article:
- The most watched streaming gamer of the first quarter of 2023 (surpassing IShowSpeed), Dexerto & SVG.
- The 6th highest peak viewed stream on Kick's history (Surpassing Adin Ross, he literally had a stream with President Trump while running for office, still got surpassed by a guy speaking a dialect of 40 million people), Dexerto.
- 12th biggest streamer worldwide, Dexerto.
- His Ultra was the first team selected for the 2025 Kings World Cup Club, the official and sole chairman of the Kingdom of Morocco on a world-class international competition, Kings League Pro.
- His life largely covered by multiple RS in different languages: UAE's Al Mashhad, Morocco's most popular press outlets and most RSs: MWN, L'Opinion, Hespress, Le360, and much more.

- The Chester Telephone Company was started in 1897 as privately-owned independent telephone company to serve the small rural town of Chester, South Carolina. In the 1980s, it was one of the investors in a successful regional fiber network, PalmettoNet,[62] that sold broadband capacity and dark fiber to large long distance telecoms and big corporate users. It also began acquiring small cable TV systems and now says it serves about 60,000 customers.[63] Over the years, Chester Telephone, then TruVista got industry coverage for deploying new (at the time) technologies.[64] TruVista was purchased by a big private equity firm, iCON Infrastructure, in 2019 and operates autonomously. [65] I personally think we should have an article about this company since it's part of the history of rural telecommunications. I know it would meet WP:GNG. However, companies have to meet Wikipedia's much more restrictive WP:NCORP guideline which effectively disqualifies most otherwise reliable press coverage (including major events such as "the expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business") from notability consideration. --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 01:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- If you have the sources that meet WP:ORGCRIT (regardless of what name it was at the time), then it would meet NCORP.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Some sources will speak of a big 6, others of a big 3: this is arbitrary and very fleeting. Unthinkable to many to suggest that Matthieu van der Poel is not part of the biggest n riders at the moment. A few years ago there was an entirely different top few riders, in 5 years these guys won't be winning any more. Nothing of lasting relevance: this is a no more than a questionable snapshot of standings in the sport right now. Kevin McE (talk) 22:22, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- I understand there are probably one-off cases of sources using "Big N" to discuss random groups of riders, but considering there are multiple independent sources (e.g. [66] [67]) that define the term (not just mentioning it in passing), there are articles that discuss inclusion in the group (Is Remco Evenepoel Part of Pro Cycling’s ‘Big Four’?), and sources that refer to coverage of the group ([68] references "the much-talked about 'Big Four'"), I think this rises beyond an "arbitrary" grouping.
- There has been usage of the term for this specific group of riders for nearly a year and a half (since December 2023), and frequent usage by many different organizations since the 2024 Tour de France, which I feel is more than "very fleeting". It would be a different conversation if I had created this article immediately after the 2024 Tour, but considering usage has continued and frequently appears in articles and previews for 2025 events (for example, these two previews for the 2025 Giro d'Italia starting this weekend both mention the Big Four: [69] [70]).
- Mathieu van der Poel is not a GC contender for stage races, which is likely why he is not included in this grouping, which the article (and quoted sources) make clear is about success in stage races and Grand Tours, not a general group of "top riders" Verylongandmemorable (talk) 22:52, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Already commented but just wanted to add: I think the argument that "in 5 years these guys won't be winning any more" conflicts with WP:CRYSTALBALL. Whether or not these riders are successful in the future, the term is widely used currently and has been defined since 2023. Assuming that it will be forgotten is not a prediction we are able to confidently make (and IMO is a bold prediction considering 3 of the 4 riders are 28 years old or younger) Verylongandmemorable (talk) 23:27, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

- Phrase is incredibly flexible and transient: a journalistic device but not a meaningful and lasting concept. Kevin McE (talk) 07:10, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- I appreciate the additional sources to consider. However, there's a significant difference in coverage between the "Big N" examples you've provided, and usage of "Big Four" to refer to the grouping of Pogacar, Vingegaard, Evenepoel, and Roglic. It isn't just used within cycling media, but in mainstream, highly reliable sources, for example:
- New York Times (via The Athletic): "INEOS Grenadiers have none of the sport’s big four on their books — Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic — who are currently the only men realistically able to win the Tour de France."
- The Independent: "And with three of the so-called ‘Big Four’ absent from the race, the door appears wide open for Roglic to regain the crown he won two years ago ... It’s hard to look past Roglic taking home the pink jersey given he’s the only member of the so-called ‘Big Four’ who’ll ride in Italy."
- The Guardian: "Pogacar, one of cycling’s “big four” stage race riders – Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic are the other three"
- Also, I'm a bit unclear on why the existence of a "Big Six" of cycling or "Big Three of the Classics" would negate the notability of this specific "Big Four" as an encyclopedic topic. The sources referenced in this discussion and in the article clearly delineate this quartet and their domain (stage races such as Grand Tours). As an analogy, if in men's tennis there was a future "Big Two" or "Big Six" that received significant coverage, would that erase the notability of the Big Three (tennis)? It could be worth noting in the article that a previous quartet of riders was referred to as the Big Four, but the articles you have sent are from 2015, so confusion with the current, widely discussed grouping of Pogacar, Vingegaard, Evenepoel, and Roglic is unlikely. The current "Big Four" has seen consistent definition and coverage for the last year and a half. Verylongandmemorable (talk) 17:01, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- The point of mentioning the Froome/Quintana/Contador/Nibali top 4 is to give evidence that this is just a temporary grouping, as there have been in the past and will be in the future.
- In the tennis example, there might be grounds for saying that they are historically all historically great players (I don't really follow that sport): but by what grounds are Vingegaard and Evenepoel being positioned as historical greats in relation to grand tours?
- I acknowledge that it is a phrase used by journalists, but that does not mean that it is a concept of any durability or lasting significance. In the time I watched soccer there have been numerous different permutations described as the big 4 of English clubs: Everton used to be among them, Man City certainly weren't. Lazy journalistic phrases describing a short-lived status quo make very poor justification for encyclopaedic entries. Kevin McE (talk) 18:08, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

- Weak keep?: I did find sources suggesting there's been some feminist analysis of the name:
- Language, Identity and the Cultural Context of Names in Selected Nigerian Novels in International Journal of Language and Literature 6(1) highlights it as a name referring to parents, noting
The name Akunna - Father’s wealth (Apart, p. 128) may be viewed as sexist by some as it traditionally portrays the girl child as a father’s means of acquiring wealth mainly through marriage. However, the name may at present be interpreted as indicating that women have come of age and a woman can also change the fortunes of her parents.
- A STUDY OF IBUSA NAMES: GENDER, MEANING, AND ATTITUDE in Marang: Journal of Language and Literature Vol 35 (2022) says this:
Names denoting wealth that are associated with males favour them, while those associated with females disfavour them. ... Women are subjugated because they are associated with the following names: Akunna ‘father’s wealth’, Ogbeyeanu ‘a poor man will not marry my daughter’, and Egobuokwu ‘money talks or money is the trouble’. These names advertise the female child to the highest bidder. The female names convey the notion that having a girl child in the family enhances wealth through marriage. This practice perpetuates the feeling of dominance by men over women.
- I can't access the contents of this book, Politics and Identity Formation in Southeastern Nigeria, but it does mention the name and its meaning, and may therefore have useful coverage of it.
- Language, Identity and the Cultural Context of Names in Selected Nigerian Novels in International Journal of Language and Literature 6(1) highlights it as a name referring to parents, noting

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This is a bit of a difficult one. This page covers perhaps four separate topics - the Paleo-Laplandic Saami substrate (which to a lesser extent also occurs in Finnic), the substrate in the Finno-Permic languages (which here is misleadingly described as the Finno-Volgaic substrate even though it also occurs in Permic), the issue of toponyms in Finland, and the substrate in the Nganasan language. Combining these substrates into a single topic of "Pre-Finno-Ugric substrate" is not notable, but the topics individually may have some notability. The Paleo-Laplandic languages topic already has its own article, and the information about the Finno-Permic substrate should probably go to the article about Finno-Permic languages. Toponyms in Finland could maybe get its own article, and the discussion about the Nganasan language can just go to the language's article. Stockhausenfan (talk) 08:39, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Language and Finland. Stockhausenfan (talk) 08:39, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose: the term is definitely used at least in Russian-language publications (i.e. Eugene Helimski used it as an umbrella term for 5 separate but related topics) and it's no less legitimate than, say, "Pre-Indo-European languages" or "Pre-Greek substrate". By the way, what I've read on the substrate in Finno-Volgaic languages (Zhivlov & Aikio) make only very few mentions of similar substrate word in Permic. Finstergeist (talk) 20:27, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- In this paper Aikio gives several examples that have Permic cognates, see pages 45-46, and he specifically mentions this:
- "a surprisingly large part of the vocabulary traditionally reconstructed for
- ‘Finno-Volgaic’ and ‘Finno-Permic’ (UEW: 605–827) involves irregular sound cor-
- respondences and other etymological difficulties."
- I.e. Finno-Permic is specifically mentioned (also Finno-Volgaic, but that is a subset of Finno-Permic, and the vocabulary there has the same features such as abundance of š).

:*Keep – Tacoma is an active Canadian country band with festival credits including the 2021 Cars and Country Stars Music Festival, where they were reviewed as a breakout act.[8] They’ve performed at major Alberta events such as the Southern Alberta Music Festival and Ol’ MacDonalds Resort Music Festival, and are currently receiving radio support. Additional independent coverage is being gathered to support notability. Socials are very active and being added as the process is being further understood.

Keep – Tacoma is a Canadian country rock band that meets the notability criteria at WP:MUSICBIO through independent, non-trivial coverage. Their performance was reviewed in the 2021 Cars and Country Stars festival recap by Jamie Street, where they were named a “breakout supporting act.” This is third-party coverage published on the official festival website, not self-published or promotional. [94]
The band has appeared at multiple Alberta festivals:
- 2021 – Cars and Country Stars (Irricana, AB)
- 2022 – Ol’ MacDonalds Resort Music Festival
- 2023 – Southern Alberta Music Festival (Mossleigh, AB)
Despite claims to the contrary, Tacoma has verifiable **streaming and social media presence**:
The band is signed to Altatude Music, is actively releasing music, and is expanding their coverage footprint. The article is being improved and meets Wikipedia’s threshold for notability under current policy. Deletion would be premature. —Xsbucks (talk) 15:25, 15 May 2025 (UTC) Xsbucks (talk) 22:17, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Not a single one of these references satisfy WP:MUSICRS and WP:GNG. Its is a wee local band. The band is non-notable. scope_creepTalk 07:01, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, @Scope creep, and for pointing out areas that need better sourcing. I'm currently updating the article to include additional references that meet Wikipedia's standards for independent, reliable, and secondary coverage, as outlined in WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO.
- While I understand the concern around regional visibility, I’d like to respectfully note that notability is not limited to global or mainstream acts. Tacoma is an active Canadian country-rock band with:
- Consistent airplay and rotation on independent and syndicated Canadian radio stations.
- Multiple provincial and national festival performances alongside established artists.
- Press and coverage from recognized Canadian media outlets — which I’m currently incorporating as citations.
- Wikipedia’s mission is to reflect the full scope of human knowledge, including cultural and regional music scenes. What may appear “local” to some editors may actually be nationally relevant within its genre and country, especially in a space like Canadian country music that has its own infrastructure and audience.
- I’d welcome any additional guidance on structure, tone, or article formatting — but I’d ask that deletion not be rushed while sourcing and improvements are still being addressed. Xsbucks (talk) 00:15, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking the time to review the article. I'm in the process of tightening up the formatting and references, but I believe Tacoma clearly meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria under WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO.
- The band has been active for over a decade and has a solid track record of notable performances and regional media coverage.
- - Live Performances
- Tacoma has performed at the Calgary Stampede (2022–2024), which is one of Canada’s largest music and cultural events. They’ve also played main stages at:
- Cars and Country Stars Festival (2021–2025)
- Southern Alberta Music Festival
- Teepee Creek Stampede (2023), where they shared the stage with Corb Lund, High Valley, and Trevor Panczak
- - Original Music
- The band has released multiple singles across major platforms, including:
- Tangled Up (2013)
- Bottle Rocket (2022)
- Gettin’ Out Alive (2025)
- Music Video for Bottle Rocket on Youtube (2022)
- New album releasing Summer of 2025
- Their music is streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, with airplay support from Canadian country stations.
- - Media Coverage
- Tacoma has been covered by independent media outlets such as:
- Western Wheel for regional live performances
- CJVR and Meadow Lake Now through on-air and online interviews
- Festival-related articles and reviews through Cars and Country Stars media coverage
- These are not trivial mentions — they’re editorial features and reviews from independent outlets with established reputations.
- I’ll continue to clean up citation formatting, but I believe this article reflects a band that has earned its place through ongoing, verifiable contributions to the Canadian country music scene. Xsbucks (talk) 00:28, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment They are non-existant on social media. Here is social blade analytics for Tacoma. [102]. 27 subscribers. Spotify [103]. 3000streams. This is non-notable band. scope_creepTalk 05:45, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks again for the input. Just to clarify: Wikipedia notability is not based on social media followers or streaming counts, but on significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources, as outlined in [WP:GNG] and [WP:MUSICBIO].
- Tacoma has received editorial coverage from:
- Western Wheel and Cars and Country Stars media for festival appearances
- Interviews and features on CJVR, CKBI, and Meadow Lake Now
- Documented live performances at major events including the Calgary Stampede, Teepee Creek Stampede, and other established Alberta festivals
- These sources demonstrate real-world impact and sustained presence in the Canadian country music scene.
- At this point, I’ve provided all the sourcing and context available. I trust the community and reviewing editors to evaluate the article fairly based on established guidelines. I’ll leave the decision in their hands and continue improving the article as needed regardless of the outcome. Xsbucks (talk) 13:51, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Social blade analytics is long recognised way on wikipedia of showing how popular a band is on social media. This is a modern garage band, so social media matters. Live performance and interviews don't towards notability. scope_creepTalk 18:40, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- I appreciate the continued discussion, but I want to point out that this nomination was initially framed around the article’s credibility and supposed failure to meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines. Yet now we’re shifting the debate toward social media stats, citing follower counts and Social Blade rankings as if they were policy benchmarks.
- That’s not how notability works on Wikipedia.
- As outlined in [WP:GNG] and [WP:MUSICBIO], notability is based on significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources — not popularity metrics or streaming totals.
- It's worth noting that using a third-party analytics tool to suggest deletion contradicts the very spirit of objective, policy-backed review. If the credibility standard was the concern, then we should be evaluating the quality of the independent sources and coverage — not shifting to subjective measurements when that fails to support the outcome.
- Tacoma has:
- Multiple years performing at the Calgary Stampede
- Main-stage festival slots alongside Corb Lund and High Valley
- Published interviews and coverage in editorially controlled outlets (CJVR, CKBI, Western Wheel)
- A handful of commercial releases and real-world recognition in Canada’s country music scene
- These meet the explicit criteria for musical ensemble notability on Wikipedia.
- Let’s keep the discussion grounded in the actual standards that guide inclusion, not personal interpretations or moving benchmarks. Xsbucks (talk) 19:12, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

- @Scope_creep — Thanks for setting a clear challenge under WP:THREE. Below are three independent, reliable sources that provide significant coverage of Tacoma as a band, in accordance with WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO:
- 1. Western Wheel (2023):
- “GALLERY: Thursday night concert series kicks off in Okotoks”
- Tacoma was featured in a regional editorial recap of the town’s summer concert series.
- ➤ https://www.westernwheel.ca/news/gallery-thursday-night-concert-series-kicks-off-in-okotoks-7242201
- 2. Meadow Lake Now – Harvard Media (2022):

- A written editorial feature published by Harvard Media, introducing Tacoma to a wider Canadian radio audience. This article includes a linked audio interview aired across affiliated stations like CJVR and CKBI.

- 3. Cars and Country Stars Review (2021):
- “2021 Review – Cars and Country Stars”
- Tacoma is listed among the standout performers in a published event recap of the annual Alberta-based festival.
- ➤ https://carsandcountrystars.ca/previous-car-shows/2021-cars/2021-review
- Tacoma has also appeared at major festivals including Calgary Stampede, Teepee Creek Stampede, and Southern Alberta Music Festival, performing alongside artists such as Corb Lund, High Valley, and Trevor Panczak.
- These references demonstrate sustained, non-trivial coverage in independent, editorial sources — meeting the notability requirements under WP:MUSICBIO.
- Regarding the earlier comment that “the article is getting deleted” — respectfully, AfD decisions are based on community consensus and policy, not individual predictions.

- Delete for now. I hate it when we're, like it or not, squashing the enthusiasm of fans of a group that seems to have some momentum. But in spite of the well-intentioned wall of discussion above, it seems the only source that plausibly provides sustained, independent coverage is the 2021 Cars and Country Stars one. It is several paragraphs and at first glance seems to be independent (have not fully investigated). The Meadow Lake one seems to be a passing mention as caption to a direct interviews which fails the independence test. The Western Wheel is a passing mention too, documenting the band played but not discussing it֫. Bottom line is we don't yet have enough to go on to write an article. Martinp (talk) 12:52, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the thoughtful input — I fully understand and respect the standards around notability and sourcing, and I appreciate the time everyone has taken to review and discuss.
- That said, I just wanted to offer a bit of perspective as someone new to article creation: I’ve poured a lot into learning the ropes over the last few weeks — reading guidelines, hunting for coverage, and doing everything I can to build something that fits within Wikipedia’s framework. It’s been a crash course in policy, formatting, and editorial tone, and while I recognize the sources may still fall short of the bar, I won’t lie — it’s pretty deflating to feel like the wind’s been knocked out of my sails.
- This band means a lot to me, and I was hoping to capture a slice of our work in a neutral, well-referenced way. I was certain that I satisfied all of the requirements outlined by Wikipedia policy. This band has been around since 2010 and our first release in 2013, Most of the major articles are archived now or deleted that I am trying to capture. We are continuing to scour every previous interview that we have done in the past to try and find more articles but to keep seeing all this is deflating. Maybe even discouraging from attempting more in the future. I really enjoyed the learning process, but how I feel currently is that this is more opinion based than anything substantial. If nothing else, I’ve learned a lot through this process and I’ll take that into future contributions. I hope the door remains open to revisiting this down the line if more substantial coverage emerges.

A niche term at best, a made-up term at worse to promote an Indian counterpart to the American second lady. None of the existing citations mentions the term "second lady" and are only used to support claims that certain persons are wives of the Indian vice president. A search on Google does not yield any evidence of established endonymic usage of the term second lady of India (which is not merely a substitute for vice president wife). Searching "Uprashtrapati Bhawan hostess" also does not yield any quality sources. The role of Second Lady of India (as hostess of the Uparashtrapati Bhavan may not even exist even in unofficial capacity. Or if they do, they don't use the term).

- UN link looks "good" but when you click on it and read it gives an interview format coverage, not reliable and not suitable for BLP:
- https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/06/1093392
- Julian Omalla, who is widely known as “Mama Cheers” after the popular juice brand “Cheers” that her company Delight Uganda produces, is now planning to expand with the construction of a new factory in the north of the country.
- “When I launched my company, Delight Uganda Limited, in 1996, I didn’t know much about running a business. I started it from scratch, and had to overcome many challenges.
- I remember walking for many kilometres, on bad roads, and working in my garden from morning to night. One of the low points came when my business partner ran off with all of the money I had raised to buy stock. All I had left was a wheelbarrow, to take fruit to market, and one red dress!
- I couldn’t get any banks to finance my business, because I didn’t have any collateral, so raising funds to expand was an uphill task. Like most women in Uganda, I had to rely on savings and invest my profits back into the company.
- This link https://unctad.org/news/prize-winning-ugandan-woman-entrepreneur-grows-juice-business-improves-community provides no significant coverage either, and neither this one https://observer.ug/business/julian-omalla-wins-un-award-for-inclusive-business-model/
- Omalla thanked Enterprise Uganda and UNCTAD for the award, and pledged to continue working to support uplift rural women from poverty.
- She said that she intends to reach at least one million women from the current 500,000, over the next 10 years. She also noted that Delight is in the process of installing a modern processing plant in the region so as to increase its capacity to be able to buy and process all the fruits produced by women farmers.

- Moderated BS world Cup Was nominated for Soccer League hall of fame for time with Beach Socer USA national team. According to the Wikipedia page for the 2012 Mundialito de Clubes, a player named “Gil” scored in two separate matches for Vasco da Gama. futsal, a sport with even less media coverage, has documented his national participation as well, as shown in this 2010 report from FutsalPlanet. This supports notability under WP:NATHLETE, which considers athletes who have competed at the highest level of their sport, including international representation.

Notability is established by participation at the highest level of competition, including international representation.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article is a wp:nor mess. Some of its content is lifted from articles that I wrote, but I have seen no evidence that the article topic exists. It makes about as much sense as an article about the "Asian - African conflict" throughout North America from 1700 to present. For most of history there have been more conflicts between different Assyrians and Kurds and it still doesn't make sense to consider either of them a cohesive group that is involved in an armed conflict.

- My idea was to move this page to Assyrian–Kurdish relations as we already have many pages describing bilateral relations, but I got pushback and was reverted. I will also note that an older version of the page almost seems to be about a different topic entirely - and one presented coherently - so my (tenuous) vote is to Keep and revert to version as of 3 May 2025. Koopinator (talk) 08:34, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- The bilateral relations articles are about relations between two state or state like entities, not between different ethnic groups that don't have an institution representing them. I am still skeptical about that framing as well as the "land dispute" one, which I don't think it's supported by the cited sources. The characterization that there is a land dispute between the Kurdish and Assyrian people or between Assyrians and the KRG (as opposed to individual Assyrians and Kurds) is disputed. But the chosen article title makes it seem like a fact. (t · c) buidhe 15:08, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- I think it might be be better to have an article about land usurpation in Iraq, which leaves more room for covering non ethnic causes because it lacks the biased framing that presumes a conclusion. (t · c) buidhe 15:10, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

- Strong Keep: As someone who created this article (which has been significantly altered as I can see), I will be a little biased of course, hence my position. But we have to be honest with ourselves that there is some preexisting Assyrian-Kurdish conflict (which is still ongoing) and as well as some landgrabs by the KRG (as per the sources in the page). Also, Kurdistan is a semi-autonomous federal region that controls land (so it is a "country" in a way), whereas Assyrians don't have much power there. Bringing up "Asian-African conflict" is misrepresenting and heavily trivializing the history in the region, and it's comparing apples and oranges – Africans and Asians are NOT native to North America. Whereas, Assyrians and some Kurds too are native to Upper Mesopotamia, and the conflict there (which the media doesn't really focus on much) is not something to be ignored or scoffed at. Oh, forgot to mention that, thanks to the recent editor of the article (Ilamxan), the article has been excellently and thoroughly sourced. It will be a huge waste if it's deleted. Yucalyptus (talk) 09:46, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
- Kurdistan is not a single political entity. If the intent was to write an article about Assyrians in the KRG governed areas I think "Assyrians in Iraq" would be a better location for the content. There is no basis for shoehorning in content about the Ottoman Empire, Syria, etc. We do not have sources covering the entire topic so it doesn't meet the criteria for having an article. (t · c) buidhe 13:42, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
- When I created the article, I did not include the Ottomans (if you check the earlier edits). Another user included such content (in good faith though). You are right. The Ottomans pillaging and massacring Assyrians in the early 20th century have nothing to do with the modern day Kurdish-Assyrian land disputes/conflict. I would hope that somebody would remove content about Ottoman Empire, as it is already covered in other articles regarding modern Assyrian history. Yucalyptus (talk) 11:42, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Kurdistan is not a single political entity. If the intent was to write an article about Assyrians in the KRG governed areas I think "Assyrians in Iraq" would be a better location for the content. There is no basis for shoehorning in content about the Ottoman Empire, Syria, etc. We do not have sources covering the entire topic so it doesn't meet the criteria for having an article. (t · c) buidhe 13:42, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
- Strong Keep: While the article’s structure and framing may need refinement, deletion is not the appropriate course of action. There is a clear body of reliably sourced content documenting tensions, disputes, and episodes of violence between Assyrian and Kurdish groups across different historical periods and regions. This is not a synthesized or invented topic-the subject meets notability under WP:GNG due to sustained coverage in reliable sources. Comparisons to fabricated constructs like an “Asian-African conflict in North America” are both inapplicable and dismissive of the real and tragic history of marginalized groups in the Middle East. Deleting this article would erase a significant and underrepresented regional dynamic, undermining Wikipedia’s mission to document the full scope of notable human history. ElijahUHC (talk) 00:10, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Strong Keep I have never seen this much information compiled in one article on the subject matter. This type of information is only available in bits and pieces which I have seen in the last 10 years. For the sake of history this must be kept. Gevergiz (talk) 00:29, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: Could be reworked but the only reason to delete or merge this article would be to remove and/or hide potentially negative aspects of Kurdish nationalism - There's been well documented attacks committed by Kurdish polities (whether or not in service of an empire or by their own volition) against Assyrians, and vice versa.

- Comment: I think it's worth reposting my talk page message:
This is a massive WP:COATRACK article discussing a bunch of barely related historical incidents and trying to fit it all in a narrative of an ethnic conflict that has supposedly been ongoing since the 19th century. Just some lovely excerpts:My initial instinct was to bring this to AfD, but I recognise there has been an effort to gather historical facts. We already have many pages describing bilateral relations - in that light I suppose that this article could be salvaged as long as it's not WP:SYNTHed into a "conflict". Thus, I will move this to "Assyrian–Kurdish relations".
- When Kurdish rival tribes fought each other, the bulk of the violence was directed at the Assyrian subjects of the opposing tribe.[6] Assyrian tribes would often fight each other on behalf of their Kurdish protector tribes.[7]
- This is fighting between Assyrians
- During the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878, the Ottomans armed the Kurds to fight Russia. At the end of the war, the Kurds refused to return the weapons, putting the Assyrians at further risk.[8]
- An incident in a war that tangentially relates to Assyrians
- On 10 May 1915, the Assyrian tribes met and declared war against the Kurds and the Ottoman Empire.[20]
- This one is particularly gratuitous - Kurds were fighting Assyrian rebels in their capacity as Ottoman rank-and-file - this is best understood as an episode of World War I rather than some ethnic conflict that began in the 19th century.
— Myself, on Talk:Assyrian–Kurdish conflict. I was reverted and then this AfD happened.

- Redirect or merge to List of public broadcasters by country. While there is a hat note explaining both lists are not the same, the inclusion criteria distinction is fuzzy and not applied at all.

- Keep - One of the advantages of lists (as spelled out on WP:BEFORECAT) is that they allow us to organize by topics like by Country (as this list is). Because state media is very much country-driven, it seems to be the best format barring some way to render categories by country. The list article seems to be more popular (gets ~10x the number of pageviews) and has been maintained much better than the categories though I have been cleaning those up as well. Superb Owl (talk) 20:41, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- I still support deletion.
- The concept of “state media” is too broad and often disputed. Without a clearly defined and consistently applied inclusion criterion—whether it’s government funding, editorial control, legal status, or degree of independence—the list becomes subjective and unreliable. It invites confusion, duplication, and personal opinion.

- i removed citation's because another editor was involved in Wikipedia:REFSPAM - involving 100's of articles. This manipulated the search results and AI output. I still do not like you adding lots of citation to same source in List of public broadcasters by country or depending on a single source for classification.
- I do not have a major objection to keeping the list itself. but state media classification is complicated and disputed. like i said before without a clearly defined and consistently applied inclusion criterion—whether it’s government funding, editorial control, legal status, or degree of independence—the list becomes subjective and unreliable.

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Food and drink, Architecture, Games, Travel and tourism, and California. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:22, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy delete: Borderline A7 No claim to or evidence found of Notability Star Mississippi 05:12, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom and Mississippi. I didn't see any significant coverage in reliable and independent references which are mentioned in the article. Fade258 (talk) 14:36, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - promotional article, I was going to say WP:TNT the article, but theres no notability. ロドリゲス恭子 (talk) 15:22, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Merge/redirect to Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California, the tribe who owns the casino, though both articles do need serious help. Nathannah • 📮 17:49, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete there is indeed a chance this is or will become a notable building, but I can't make a keep argument, and the article is in such bad shape that even if it is somehow notable, we need to apply WP:TNT. Just noting it here in case this gets recreated at some point. SportingFlyer T·C 23:50, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

The album doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:ALBUM. The references used are essentially track listings. I was unable to find anything more substantial. JSFarman (talk) 00:21, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

- Yet to meet notability standards like WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV and WP:NALBUM. Since, article is just created on 22 May 2025 and as per alternatives to deletion, I would like to support for Draftify. Fade258 (talk) 07:25, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Fails the requirements of WP:NALBUM, preferred option is Draftify. Dan arndt (talk) 09:14, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
Fails WP:NALBUM and WP:GNG. Draftify is the preferred option Halley luv Filipino ❤ (Talk) 10:47, 23 May 2025 (UTC)- Change my vote to Delete because the votes below indicate that the artist of the album does not have their own page. And even the author who created this page was once found to have used AI to write an article. Halley luv Filipino ❤ (Talk) 23:36, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete the artists for this album doesn't even have an article. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:04, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - Per WP:A9 an album article is unlikely to survive when the associated musician does not have an article. For everyone voting to draftify, the person behind this article should encouraged to work on an article for the band instead. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:23, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment This is one of three LLM-slop articles (written by the same editor). All of them are related to the band, and all three have hallucinatory references. (Both have been moved to draft: 8 Degrees and A Series of Moments). JSFarman (talk) 15:34, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: The artist of the album does not have their own page, making this very unlikely to be notable. Schützenpanzer (Talk) 21:29, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - I already commented above on the draftify process, but until that gets organized this album article should be deleted for procedural reasons (possible conflict of interest, suspicions of AI, band article should come first if they are notable). ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:54, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
