Overly in-depth plot content fork that fails WP:NOTPLOT and fails to establish its own notability independent of the main article per WP:GNG. Supergirl (disambiguation) exists to cover characters that have their own articles.

- Merge with Supergirl That however applies only to the small referenced part of the article, the unreferenced part should not be merged per WP:V. Then this can be deleted, no need for a redirect, the name is not likely to be searchable, as the concept has zero stand-alone notability.

- Merge any sourced material to the Supergirl article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:58, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- Strong keep - As the nominator has been informed before, "article doesn't establish notability" and "there's too much plot" are not legitimate reasons for deletion. I would encourage them to better understand deletion criteria. As for this supposedly not being notable, there has never been one particular Supergirl. The character has been reworked many times, reimagined, retconned into separate characters, and the original Supergirl wasn't even the version we know today. The likes of Supergirl (Kara Zor-El), Power Girl, Supergirl (Matrix), and Supergirl (Linda Danvers) are not just generic alternate versions, they were all the primary version of the character at one point or another (mostly because DC didn't know what to do with her). This is integral to the character's history and the fact that so many of them have articles of their own is further evidence that this article (which happens to be a hub article) is notable. It's impossible to find a source discussing Supergirl's history that doesn't also go into heavy detail and commentary about the alternate versions.

- I would also encourage the nominator to stop using "alternate versions" as an excuse to nominate articles, and to stop looking for every minor excuse to nominate an article. Fiction is covered on Wikipedia, so subjective declarations of unimportance ("There's no need to list every individual minor variance on a general encyclopedia (even if it passes GNG apparently)") don't matter. A current revision of an article being poorly written, mostly plot, or even poorly sourced in itself is not a reason to delete. This clearly passes WP:LISTN. Darkknight2149 06:21, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- All these major alternate versions also have their own articles and can contain their own publication history. This article is a list of minor appearances with zero need to exist. The random mishmash of links you've posted does nothing other than affirm that the major individual versions having articles makes sense. If there's some need to have a "History of Supergirl" separate article for some reason, this article is not that and will never be that article. This is not a matter of cleanup or anything of the like. This is just a conceptually flawed article expanding on plot that needs to be summarized in the main article(s). The disambiguation page otherwise is suitable for those with actual articles. TTN (talk) 06:48, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- Actually looking at the main article, your argument makes even less sense because it already covers all the major versions, so there is no particular reason to even mention them in this article. That means any source mentioning them is useless to whatever point you're trying to make. TTN (talk) 06:55, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- Merge - Article is a WP:CONTENTFORK of the main character articles and re-treads most of the same ground, with no sources that really distinguish this as a separately notable topic. I would also support deletion as this is completely cited to primary sources, or trivial mentions that really refer to the notable fiction more than the non-notable character. But WP:ATD are always welcome when the consensus is pointing that way. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:27, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG. I don't find any significant coverage about this subject other than maybe this Catch News piece, but this doesn't feel like a legit article, it feels more like a press release that they published. Searching for his full name (with or without middle name) plus titles of things he's been in result in some passing mentions like here. Here's a TOI article that says he was fired from a show for not playing the role well. I found this article, which has some detail, but Urban Asian isn't a reliable source as far as I know, and the 14 October 2017 publication date coincides exactly with the creation of the article, which leads me to believe that it is a PR piece that was used to boost his social media presence, with Wikipedia being used for that purpose. Article creator MediaTribe was also indeffed by a CU, so this is almost certainly a UPE article. I don't feel that notability has been properly established in the article, or that it could be with the sources I've found. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

An article about a single fictional locomotive within the world of Thomas the Tank Engine. The article was created in 2004, since when it has remained without proper sources. It is written in a decidedly inappropriate tone, much of it from a fan perspective. It confuses real-world and fictional perspectives, mixes two different versions of the same character - one from the books, one from the related but separate TV series - leaving the text impossibly confused. Worse, after applying WP:BEFORE research, the subject of this article is not covered in multiple reliable, published sources, and is not notable. A proposal was made to merge the salvageable contents into List of characters in The Railway Series, but this was rejected on the talk page. I don't believe there is a justification for keeping this as a separate article on Wikipedia Laplorfill (talk) 22:21, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

- The proposal that was made to merge this information into List of characters in The Railway Series was rejected by only one user. This article contains two sets of information. Half the article could and should be moved to the Henry section of List of characters in The Railway Series. The other half should go to List of Thomas & Friends characters. Unfortunately that article is simply a bare list of names.
- I oppose deletion on two grounds
- Notability. Whilst only appealing to a small audience there is serious interest as shown by the following web site https://ttte.fandom.com/wiki/Henry_the_Green_Engine
- Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. There is a place for minority interest articles.
- One of the objections to the article was the lack of citations. This has been partially addressed. OrewaTel (talk) 01:17, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- Delete: No evidence of notability like the rest of the characters from the series, through this one at least attempts to discuss some controversies related to two episodes the character appears in. However, the controversies are related to the episodes and not really to this character, so if sources are found (one of the sections has no sources), the odds are they won't be of much help, but do ping me if you think otherwise. The best I can see here for salvaging is that if said sources are found, maybe the mentioned episodes could get stand-alone articles? Regarding the proposed merge, there is little to merge as most of the article is still unreferenced plot summary aka WP:FANCRUFT, through I have no major objections to a merger if anyone wants to carry it out (just don't dump irrelevant info in a list). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:24, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- Delete This article dates back to 2004, 2 years before Wikipedia started to develop notability guidelines for fictional things and back when Wikipedia was drowning in fancruft. We have since realized that Wikipedia needs to require things to be notable, which Henry is not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:03, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

- Keep I can’t believe the Thomas deletionists are still at it. Henry is notorious for being bricked up in the tunnel and that is alone he is part of popular culture not to mention the several other plot lines that he was notable for. Special Coal and Henry’s Forest (in which a tv documentary featured a complaint from Rev Awdry himself) are easily notable. 94.175.6.205 (talk) 15:53, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- Merge if possible. There is some information here to preserve. Some of it is about the story that Henry appears in and not on topic. But the Washington Post article does cover some interesting facts about Henry. I agree this isn't enough to establish notability but it is worth WP:PRESERVING.

Probably second only to the FBI in Hollywood history. There may well be a need to trim the list to significant characters, but characters such as Marshal Matt Dillon and Dennis Weaver from Gunsmoke, Rooster Cogburn from True Grit, Will Kane in High Noon, Marshal Sam Gerard in The Fugitive films and TV series, Clint Eastwood's character in Hang 'Em High, Dennis Weaver's character in McCloud, Artemus Gordon from The Wild Wild West, and John Wayne in Cahill U.S. Marshal are among the most significant and memorable characters ever developed in the U.S. Marshals genre.

For example Jay Buckley I had as a professor at BYU back in the fall of 2014 shortly before his book William Clark: Indian Diplomat came out. I have considered creating an article on professor Buckley, even looked into it, but I was never quite convinced he passed notability. The same is true of Brian Q.

Article about footballer who has only played semi-professionally except for a 36-minute cameo in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. There is no online Portuguese-language coverage of this footballer other than database entries and transfer announcements (and nothing at all which would be in-depth coverage), and there is nothing indicating what he might have done since 2011. Although having played in a few minutes in a fully-pro league match creates a presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL, there is a long-standing consensus that when an article comprehensively fails WP:GNG as this does, the presumption isn't valid.

- Keep The article now has six sources, 3 of them are about the book directly. I belive it now meets WP:NBOOK. J.Turner99 (talk) 08:35, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
I feel there is enough to say, given this is a sequal to a book that was so popular. Also Peterson has made a video talking about the contents of the book and the new rules in it. This video (at the time of writing) has over 250,000 views. He also read part of the introduction in this video. Because of this, I feel there is plenty to write about. We already know some of the contents of the book. As for the book not meeting WP:NBOOK, it feel does. It will meetcriteria 3 very soon and I would also argue 5. J.Turner99 (talk) 19:56, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- The reference is to a publication listed as "generally unreliable" at WP:RSP. Sources from Peterson himself don't count towards notability, because they are not independent. XOR'easter (talk) 21:14, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- I mention the YouTube video to suggest that there is plenty to write about. As far as I know, I think it is OK to keep a generally unreliable source in the article until you can find a new one. I have changed the spurce now anyway. But I would suggest instead of just removing the source, I would ask you to please consider looking for a replacement, in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by J.Turner99 (talk • contribs) 09:17, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- I have now extended the article to point where I feel it warrants its existance. A book does not have to be released for an article to made about it. Barrck Obama's New Book had a wiki article about it months before it was released. We already know the introduction and what the book is about. I have already put information regarding the background and there is enough information to add Summary/Content and perhaps Publication, because Peterson has outlined what formats the book will be available in and where it will be sold.

As far as I know, I think it is OK to keep a generally unreliable source in the article until you can find a new one.
It can be acceptable to keep a mediocre source — that's why we have the {{betterfact}} template — but it's not a good idea to keep an unreliable one. Wikipedia depends upon reliable sourcing in order to be viable. Regarding your comparison, Barack Obama was leader of the free world for eight years. That's going to make a difference for how much pre-publication attention a book will get. XOR'easter (talk) 18:33, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

- Delete fails WP:NBOOK on account of not existing yet. It's not our job to make predictions; even if the book is scheduled to be published, we can't say in advance whether it's guaranteed to deserve a stand-alone article. It's always possible that an author's time has passed, that what was once shocking has become passé. We might discover, after a book's publication, that only the die-hard fans really cared, and thus that there's so little to say about it that we should just give it a paragraph in the author's biography. XOR'easter (talk) 19:02, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Jordan Peterson#Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life (2021) for the time being. Currently, this article has only two sentences of prose and no references. Once reviews, sales figures, etc. start appearing, it's likely that it will be possible to make a proper article about this book, but at this point there's not enough to say to warrant a separate article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:16, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect as per above. It's rare that media will be notable prior to its official release, especially books. Even books by extremely mainstream authors such as Stephen King have trouble passing NBOOK prior to their release, as most of the coverage is just an announcement that the book will release on X day. It looks like what's out there are just announcements that the book will release, which isn't enough for a standalone article at this point in time. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 03:44, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect - fails WP:NBOOK. This article was made way too early. Wait for the book and reviews of it to come out. There is no need to rush this. The book will inevitably meet criteria #1 per WP:BKCRIT, but until then wait to make a standalone article. Redirect to the section on Peterson's article and build content there for now.

- Delete I looked into this more closely because the nomination and arguments so far are a variation of WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE. Dead links are also not a reason for deletion, and I was able to access them via the Wayback Machine. He has won several Nigerian writers awards. Unfortunately we don't have any articles on Nigerian literature in general or on any of the literature of the languages spoken there. It is impossible for me to tell if any of these awards should be considered significant. That said, the only one of these that I can establish WP:V for is a third place prize, which doesn't seem to convey notability. All the sources in the article are written by the topic, or are a list, or are a casual mention. I think this topic fails WP:NAUTHOR and WP:GNG, but would like to be proven wrong by someone who has better access to Nigerian sources than myself. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:22, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

He has some media mentions in Malaysia, but they are clearly softball interviews arranged as publicity exercises, and the Sun Daily is a free tabloid-style paper that is not reliable for purposes of the notability of people it helps promote.

- @Cyphoidbomb:
it looks like they're on a warpath to force this article into live space despite what other experienced editors suggest. So, this is starting to feel like agenda-driven editing
- @Cyphoidbomb:
- Not at all Sir, but rather you seem to be on an agenda-driven editing to delete this article by wrongly claiming that wikipedia is a neutral platform!
- However, I respect your suggestions as you are an experienced editor and I will give my opinions here, though I first thought that the discussion is happening in the talk page.
- I have no issues if the final decision is that the article should be deleted as being a new editor, I do not want to go against the rules and norms put by the administrators here.
- I will put my reasons for not deleting this page but I leave the choice to the administrators.
- Thank you--Aleyamma38 (talk) 07:11, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- Do not delete this Wikipedia article
- I agree that this actor has not done many shows and even in the shows which he got to do, he only had Recurring/Supporting roles.
- But, is it the no of shows or the type of roles of an Actor which determine the creation of their articles in Wikipedia?
- Then how will be the motto of Wikipedia the free encyclopedia which has a NEUTRALITY IN IT'S ARTICLES be fulfilled?
- Here, I'm not talking as a FAN but just a COMMON WIKIPEDIAN EDITOR, who had carefully studied each and every wikipedia guidelines for creating a biography of an individual before creating both Zeeshan Khan and Aparna Mishra; And I know not every 'struggling-actor can have a wikipedia article but, if I am not wrong...
- An Actor must have atleast done 3 shows.
- He/She should have been working for atleast 5 years or more.
- There should be proper referencing of him/her as An Actor.
- The references should be reliable resources such Pinkvilla, Times of India, Tribune, Indian Express, Bollywoodlife etc; Tellychakkar, IVMBuzz, Bookmyshow, Filmibeat and certain other websites are considered unreliable resources.
- And I guess the article Zeeshan Khan follows all of the guidelines mentioned above!
- I would also like to mention that the articles Zeeshan Khan (actor born in 1989), Abrar Qazi have very poor referencing (including to the fact that the number of references are only around 3-4). Next, the article of Mugdha Chaphekar has used unreliable resources and also abused the Wikipedia guidelines by claiming the Image file to be an own work, plus the Filmography section is very badly edited.
- Yes, Zeeshan Khan has never been in lead roles like Abrar Qazi and Mugdha Chaphekar, but is it neutral to have wikipedia articles of Zeeshan Khan (actor born in 1989), Abrar Qazi, Mugdha Chaphekar and many other articles which I have come across in Wikipedia with very bad editing and referencing, while delete an article of Zeeshan Khan all because he has done only supporting and recurring roles.
- Ethically, in a normal world we try to Respect, every Profession for whatever each individual does, because there is a mutual relation of every profession with each other.
- In the same way, in the field of Acting, every actor should be RESPECTED, no matter whatever role he/she does because a show or film doesn't run only with the lead actors.
- So, when wikipedia has this motto of being a NEUTRAL PLATFORM, it would be UNFAIR to delete this article all because the actor has never got lead roles.
- @Cyphoidbomb:

- @Cyphoidbomb:
- And being only given a supporting, recurring role in every show adds to the fact, why there are very few articles mentioning the actor.
- However, I request that, atleast Wikipedia can follow the Rule of Neutrality and not JUDGE LIKE OTHER MEDIA!
- Delete: I agree delete the page as he is not a notable celebrity compared to Hina Khan Arjun Bijlani Sanaya Irani and Pearl V Puri. And Aleyamma38 Pinkvilla is not a reliable source stop lying and Abrar and Mughda are more popular than Khan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4C8:A2:7E3B:C81B:CFAC:10A2:2318 (talk) 13:58, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

- I agree with your second statement that the actor is not a celebrity and I already mentioned it in my reasons earlier. But your second statement Pinkvilla is not a reliable source, makes you a liar. If you have doubts, please ask the administrators here, as the articles of Pinkvilla are one among the most used in almost all Hindi Television Series as a reliable resource.
- By the way, you need not put up requests on my talk page not to delete Mugdha Chaphekar, if you really want to know which are the REAL UNREALIABLE REFERENCES in Wikipedia then the editors of Mugdha Chaphekar article have used them in their references. Please do check it up once. Thank you

completely and utterly non-notbale site sourced entirely to blackhat SEO sites (paid for publications), press releases and business listings. Praxidicae (talk) 15:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- This comment and request for deletion is blatantly incorrect. Did you even review the references? If you did, you will have seen that there are references from Vogue, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, dlisted, The Guardian, etc, etc. I have reviewed your other contributions and it appears that you like to throw around the "not notable site sourced by blackhat seo sites" comment quite regularly without actually reading the article and references. This is not helpful to the wikipedia community at all. What's more, I tried to have a conversation about this on your talk page and you ignored me. Alas, I feel that this article should not be deleted. The subject is notable and the references are properly sourced PiratePuppy (talk) 16:06, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

- Again you are not looking at all the articles. dlisted, flying geze, viral cola, etc, are definitely not paid for sites. Dlisted is one of the largest celebrity magazines in the celebrity market. Also, how can you not say the subject is notable? Given they just worked with the Rock, that seems pretty notable? Anyway, I tried to work this out with you on your talk page as previously noted and you failed to engage with me, so I guess we need an impartial third party to review this article and decide for themselves. I'm sorry we weren't able to come to an understanding between the both of us :( PiratePuppy (talk) 16:18, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- You're talking in circles. None of those are WP:RS. This is an obviously promotional, non-notable and likely paid for piece that has fabricated sources with no basis in reality. Praxidicae (talk) 16:20, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for your feedback and your opinions of my rebuttable, but again I disagree. I am not talking in circles. I tried to communicate with you on your talk page about this but you would not engage. I feel you have lost objectivity, but let's see what an independent, third party reviewer thinks when they have reviewed the article and all references in totality. PiratePuppy (talk) 16:26, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Want to explain where you got the Alexa numbers from, that you used as a source, despite the source itself not even being remotely related to Gloss Media? In fact, Alexa shows it ranking somewhere in the high millions, but you decided to fabricate it by linking to WorldStarHipHop. Care to explain? Praxidicae (talk) 16:28, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Are we looking at the same article? The alexa numbers were in a previous draft which I removed quite a while ago (well before your above comment) as I noticed it was an error. There was no "fabrication". But in using this terminology, you are again using language which is clearly non objective. I am happy to defer to another independent, arms length reviewer to read the entire article and references. Thanks PiratePuppy (talk)
- Too late for another reviewer, you ignored the declines and past reviews, so now it's at AFD. I will not be rescinding it. And the idea that you didn't include it is laughable - you included a source that is blatantly false (bigtimedaily) and an unsupported statement that they rank 235th in page views with 2.5 billion a month, a blatant lie. Or are you saying you did not type this into the draft? You can easily tell that this is untrue by looking at Alexa. Praxidicae (talk) 16:45, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you are always so mad. Editing wikipedia is supposed to be fun and informative. We are supposed to learn and support each other. You are the opposite of these things. You are not warm and inviting, and looking at your own talk page, it is clear that you are generally and consistently confrontational. It is sad that you feel that you need to act this way. Nobody was lying or fabricating anything, I simply put in an incorrect url. The balance of the article was correct with fully notable references.

The sourcing in the article is entirely junk - Press releases, Social media, User submitted content and passing mentions. The high quality sources in the article (bbc, the guardian) do not mention Gloss media at all, not even a credit to confirm that they were the source of the video as claimed.

- Delete. Hotels are pretty WP:MILL, and exist in every city on earth. (Some small towns might not have any hotels, but any city of moderate size will.) And furthermore, the vast majority of hotels are part of international hotel chains rather than being standalone independent entities. Accordingly, there's no point in indiscriminately maintaining an unsourced article about every hotel that exists — the bar for making a hotel notable enough for a Wikipedia article requires reliably sourced evidence of its significance, such as a noteworthy historical or cultural impact.

- Keep easily passes WP:GNG, just needs improvement. The English-language Gazette gave it a three-page spread when it opened, not including a full-page ad, which ran with a number of advertisements wishing the hotel good luck, which was common for large projects around those times: [11] [12] and some coverage from far away here: [13]. That's just English-language coverage. Not all hotels are notable, but I'm disappointed that this is being dismissed as a "routine hotel", especially since hotels are one area of the encyclopaedia where I've been editing recently.

I declined the A7 speedy since there an obviously plausible claim to academic notability with multiple published math papers in peer reviewed journals. However, on closer inspection I don't see the subject as satisfying any of the relevant notability guidelines. Citability of his math papers is pretty low, both in GScholar and in MathSciNet, with h-index somewhere in single digits. He was a runner participating and winning some local marathons (according to the article, there are no references but I am taking the claims at face value for now), but even assuming all of that is true, that seems to fall quite short of passing WP:ATHLETE. He has written a couple of books on running that are available on Amazon, so theoretically there could be a case for WP:AUTHOR but I did not find published reviews of those either. In Google News I found a couple of articles with one-word mentions of him, such as [14]. Overall none of this seems to add up to notability. Nsk92 (talk) 13:52, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- I am withdrawing the nomination in view of the discussion above. The subject's notability has been established, and the article's creator has been made aware of the relevant COI guidelines and indicated their willingness to respect them. Nsk92 (talk) 23:42, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Draftify, to be run through AfC. While I think the subject is probably notable per WP:NPROF, the article is almost entirely primarily-sourced, has serious style problems, shows possible signs of WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY etc. The creator should disclose any COI. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:22, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Could you explain why you think the subject might be notable under WP:PROF? To me of all the plausible notability grounds here, the case under WP:PROF seemed the weekest. Nsk92 (talk) 14:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, sorry! The article should probably be (eventually?) under Thomas J. Osler, as the notable papers are published under that name or as T. J. Osler. I added a link to the right GS profile under External Links. Anyway, there are several papers on that profile with 100s of citations, which I think is enough, especially in a low-citation field like math. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:41, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oops, yes, I see you are right, somehow when I was doing a GScholar search, I missed this GScholar Profile page and most of the citation hits it is showing.

I note that Osler is a three-time national champion runner (who also won many local races---not simply participating in local events as the user above mentioned). I have added a reference which cites his three national championship runs. I strongly suspect they are also referenced in issues of the Long Distance Log of 1965 and 1967, that being the only record of such things at the time, but those logs do not seem to be searchable and I am combing through them manually.
Also, I have a COI in that I know Osler personally and gathered material through recorded interviews with him; however, I then realized that probably does not meet citeability guidelines. Skymath1 (talk) 17:18, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comments. I see that you have also added a reference[15] that Osler has been inducted into Road Runners Club of America Hall of fame. Thus he satisfies part 10 of WP:NTRACK and is notable on those grounds. I can withdraw this nomination, but given what you say about your COI personal association with Osler, it would be preferable if we move the article to draftspace, you work on developing it there further and adding some independent sources, and then re-submit the article through the WP:AfC process. Nsk92 (talk) 18:12, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thank YOU for all the helpful feedback. Although I think the style of the article can be improved, I think that it is sufficiently cited now with third-party citations to justify staying in article space. I shall review the bio stylesheet and work to improve the overall style but I don't see a reason to put it back to draftspace. However, I am very new to the process and gratefully welcome feedback and guidance. Thank you again! Skymath1 (talk) 18:55, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Due to your COI, YOU SHOULD NOT EDIT THE ARTICLE WHILE IT IS IN ARTICLE SPACE. Nsk92 and myself are proposing moving it to draft space so that you may work on it some more, and because we have concerns about whether it is currently mainspace-ready. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 19:04, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Got it, I will refrain from further edits. However, all the original objections with regards to meritability and third-party citations have been addressed, so it seems to me that the article is appropriate for mainspace, presumably leaving intact notices about improvements.Skymath1 (talk) 20:08, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Great, thanks, sorry to "shout". You'll want to read the COI guidelines. The tl;dr is that for any edits that are not completely trivial, you should make a request on the talk page, and an editor without close connection will then evaluate and implement. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:35, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- No problem at all. I read the COI guidelines after one of the above users (it may have been you?) mentioned COI. I understood it to mean to be very careful and only edit things that are well-documented. I can clearly see the lack of documentation that prompted the original flag for deletion, but I think it's correct now, and the edits I made after finding the COI policy have all been cited. To clarify, though, if I find more references, should I refrain from adding them directly, but rather put them in the Talk page with a request to be added? I'm referring to simply adding references here, not to modifying substantive content. Thank you again for your guidance.Skymath1 (talk) 22:03, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Correct. Please make future requests for edits through the talk page rather than implementing them directly. That includes the addition of references, also because the referencing in the article as you left it was not good. When suggesting references, please aim for publications about Osler by other people rather than anything written by Osler or published by his employer. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:24, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- This solution is reasonable but it does have some drawbacks. I'm not sure if the article, if left in mainspace, will have any other active editors, apart from Skymath1. As a practical matter that means that Skymath1 might have to wait for quite a while for the edits they suggest/request at the article talk page to be implemented. Having said that, if Skymath1 is OK with this option, I'll withdraw the nomination. Nsk92 (talk) 22:49, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- This is fine. The article is in significantly better shape than it was 24 hours ago, and I greatly thank the several contributors. The referencing is excellent, and I am impressed that someone discovered the math conference held in Osler's honor (OslerFest, April 17, 2010) before I could get around to requesting it in the Talk page. There is an important reference regarding Osler's unification of the Vieta and Wallis products: there is a section in a textbook on Pi (the number), written only 2 or 3 years after Osler's discovery, which is entirely about the discovery. Having original work get into a textbook in such a short amount of time is quite impressive. I will add the request to have this added back once I remember which textbook it's in.

- Keep, citation record on Google Scholar is enough for WP:PROF#C1 especially given the typical low citation numbers for this field. I found multiple sources concerning fractional calculus by other people with his name in their titles, also suggestive of #C1 notability. No opinion on whether his running career is also adequate for notability but we only need one notability criterion. I have cleaned up the mathematics part of the article; the running part also needs cleanup but I think it is not in such bad shape that draftification is necessary, and WP:DINC. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:22, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

The topic here seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:OR (the article is reference solely to unreliable sources, like YouTube, fandom.com, even cites a discord server...). Few more reliable sources don't discuss the "mapping fandom", just some of its more prominent creations.

- I can see why the article is requested for deletion (sources) and I do not oppose it that much anymore. What I'd like to say is, few news outlets, other companies, etc. even dare to touch the fandom. For example: SMART BANANA, a notorious example (mentioned in the article) published a mapping video with a couple of things that the mapping fandom views badly, and SMART BANANA had to take their video down. So the article has a disadvantage from the start. Also, some references are just to demarcate that a mentioned thing exists. Geogranerd (talk) 09:14, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

- Comment - I do not agree with the soft redirect proposal, what Wikibooks hosts isn't much of our concern, but I'm fine with userification. TheRealDario04 (talk) 07:55, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- If what Wikibooks hosts is truly not of our concern, that would really call the entire concept of a soft redirect into question. That would probably be better discussed at Wikipedia talk:Soft redirect. Currently we have over 1000 soft redirects and plenty of other forms of integration with Wikipedia's sister projects. Wikipedia:Alternatives to deletion also states that soft redirects are a valid alternative to deletion, especially if an article to be deleted is likely to be re-created. I would argue it is likely, given it's already been created once. Koopinator (talk) 11:09, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- Except if you take a look at the list of soft redirects you yourself provided, you'll see that only 2 are to Wikibooks (not counting the templates). I am not arguing against all soft redirects, I am arguing against a soft redirect to Wikibooks. You are just trying to loophole your fancruft onto Wikipedia. TheRealDario04 (talk) 23:57, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- So, if you're not arguing against all soft redirects, then that means you think the Wiktionary soft redirects are okay, right? If that's the case, why is it that what Wiktionary hosts is our concern, but not Wikibooks? I'm getting the impression that you want to ignore the established alternative to deletion of soft redirecting because of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. By the way, i had actually taken a look at the list of soft redirects, but i don't think a meaningful distinction can be made here between "stuff that belongs on Wiktionary" and "stuff that belongs on Wikibooks". They're both sister projects of Wikipedia, which although different in scope still nonetheless have a degree of integration with this site. Koopinator (talk) 07:28, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- Wikitionary is a dictionary, literally purposed for concise definitions of words, which in my opinion is perfectly fine and is the best alternative in case it doesn't have/deserve an article on Wikipedia. Wikibooks is a place for writing and posting original research, which is the opposite of what is wanted on Wikipedia. There is a reason why it's basically unused in soft redirects. Stop putting words in my mouth.TheRealDario04 (talk) 09:42, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is neither a dictionary, nor a publisher of original thought. Both of these are contrary to Wikipedia policy and outside the scope of the project. That's why they are on different sites. As for why there's only 2 Wikibooks redirects and 1641 Wiktionary soft redirects (not counting templates), it seems to me because of a statistics thing: Wikibooks has 3152 books, while Wiktionary has 6475108 entries. Any given Wikibooks entry has a 0.0006% (1 out of 1576) chance of having a corresponding Wikipedia soft redirect, while any given Wiktionary entry has a 0.0003% (1 out of 3945) chance of having a soft redirect. Also, i think it's worth noting that Wiktionary does in fact allow original research - "we don't have any policy on original research; sometimes original research is inevitable and necessary to help us document a rare or brand-new use that no one else has documented before". Koopinator (talk) 11:38, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- WP:Soft redirect to Wikibooks:Mapping on YouTube. I love weird Internet shit -- but this article is pretty bad as-is, and it doesn't seem to establish notability right now.

- Delete. I can't find enough out there to establish notability for this short. It screened at festivals and won a couple of awards, but none of the awards are major enough to count towards notability. The general rule of thumb is that just screening at film festivals isn't enough to establish notability unless the film festival or part of the film festival is extremely notable and discerning, like the Un Certain Regard section of Cannes. I'm uncertain about the Apocalypse Later site. It does look better than the typical blog type site, that's for certain, but one review isn't enough on its own to establish notability even if it were to pass muster at RS/N.

This longstanding unreferenced article was recently moved to draft but, as per recent consensus on Draftification it is more appropriate to resolve its future using this process.

- Note that list articles don't follow the same rules as other articles. These are notable awards/honors, and a list of all those that won a notable award is automatically a valid list, as is listing all notable awards someone notable won. Listing the valid information in this format is acceptable for a list article. Dream Focus 17:08, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- An armorial, a coat of arms, is not "a notable award". It is in many cases not something they "won" at all, but something they simply inherited. In some cases, it is a "prize" which accompanies an award, but it isn't the award. (Even if it were, your "a list of all those that won a notable award is automatically a valid list" is false as well, we have many notable awards for which a list of recipients would be unacceptable, e.g. the Purple Heart is a notable award, but a list (or lists) with all recipients would be swiftly deleted).

(Even if it were, your "a list of all those that won a notable award is automatically a valid list" is false as well, we have many notable awards for which a list of recipients would be unacceptable, e.g. the Purple Heart is a notable award, but a list (or lists) with all recipients would be swiftly deleted). Fram (talk) 17:16, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Is there anything showing where the coats of arms are used, if there's any official bearing of them? It says several presidents chose to just use the Italian arms, but where is that officially used and what makes it "personal"? Entirely unsourced, and only a few of these are actual personal arms. Einaudi and Segni's matching image appears to be purely original research, combining the Italian arms with the collar of Supreme Order of Christ and purporting that to be the personal arms. I removed the gallery of unsourced images on that page. Reywas92Talk 18:33, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Further, those of Nicola and Segni are just the generic ones for those family named used at it:Armoriale delle famiglie italiane (Dem-Dib) and it:Armoriale delle famiglie italiane (Se): is there evidence they specifically used these, presented in some way when they were president? Oscar Luigi Scalfaro's likewise says it's "ancestral arms" (a variation of which is at it:Oscar Luigi Scalfaro as family arms, added earlier this year so who knows how it was used by him personally!), with a collar for Order of Isabella the Catholic added, just one of many foreign honors it says he received – the same user also made a version for the Order of the Seraphim. Any sources of how this was used in reality??? Honestly I think the creator of this article should be santioned for massive WP:OR violations, and the argument-free keep votes above are a clueless, reflexive embarrassment, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong!

- Delete. Fails WP:NOTABLE. If the coats-of-arms are notable, they are notable because of the individuals they belong to, not because those individuals happen to have held the same office.

Mitchell's Encyclopedia of the Black Arts Movement, a chapter in Carole Hamilton and Peter Kratzke's Short Stories in the Classroom and a book-length study guide published by Gale.

There's also extensive discussion in this article (again in a pedagogical context) and apparently an article in English Language Notes, though that doesn't seem to be online.

Advertisement masquerading as article on company that has already been found not to satisfy corporate notability. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bell & Ross. I have not read the deleted advertisement, but the text of the article cannot have been expanded. The article has evidently been reference-bombed with questionable sources to address comments in the AFD about sourcing.
If this were a draft in AFC, I would decline it as being written from the viewpoint of the company, focusing on what the company says about itself, and saying nothing about what others have said about the company. It was also submitted as a draft in AFC (possibly in order to prevent draftification), and I did decline it.

I can understand mistakenly assuming that a watch brand that's only 30 years old must be a fly-by-night, especially when compared to others that have been around for 100-200 years, however Bell & Ross is actually a fairly notable Swiss brand within the industry. Is it notable as defined by Wikipedia? Yes. Apart from the company's collection of third party reviews, there is analysis of the brand itself, such as The Watch, Thoroughly Revised by Stone and Pulvirent. Abrams 2018. I would also point to many articles in Hodinkee, which is sort of the horological equivalent of Car & Driver. - LuckyLouie (talk) 18:28, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

non-notable craftsman. I'm surprised this has been around so long - there's no meaningful coverage, everything is either self published, unreliable or press release. I searched under all three language spellings of his name and came back with nothing and the awards aren't really notable either. Praxidicae (talk) 00:49, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
