- Weak Delete I stumbled on this in a backlog some months ago and tried to clean it up but ended up stubbing it as I could find no English language sources with which to write an article. I hate further worsening our coverage of non English-speaking areas and feel like these are probably notable, but unless we can find some help with non-English sources from someone who can read the language, there's nothing to establish notability. I initially thought Model was a brand, but it appears these are more just a kind of non public schools with nothing to tie them together. StarM 00:06, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep - In my opinion, WP:NACTOR is the wrong criteria to look at Dwyer under. She is more notable for her writing and for her work as a theatre practicioner (associate artistic directorships, artistic director, directing). Therefore I suggest WP:CREATIVE. I'll specifically point to crit. 3 for creating Calpurnia, which has multpile independant reviews, and writing The D Cut. Here are 3 Calpurnia reviews (because multiple means 2 or more) as proof: Globe and Mail, NOW Toronto, and Toronto Star. In terms of meeting GNG, at the very least there's this Winnipeg Free Press article. I know list-based articles don't always count in terms of sigcov, but CBC named her one of "31 Black Canadian female playwrights you need to know". In my opinion, she pretty easily meets an SNG (WP:CREATIVE), so I think it's a keeper. Samsmachado (talk) 22:28, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment — @Samsmachado, first off thanks for creating the article. Now, let’s get to analysis @Globe and Mail required me to login before reading. The Winnipeg Free Press article appears to be a legit reliable one which actually does justice to subject of your article but I am afraid one source isn’t good enough for WP:GNG. The 31-black canadian female playwrights you need to know is a list article & list articles do next to nothing in satisfying WP:GNG as they are mere listings that don’t discuss their subjects(names listed) with significant coverage. Overall you have just one decent source discussing subject of your article. In your defense you have pointed to three reviews of their work & claimed they satisfy no 3 of creative, Now if 3 reviews of a subject’s work supersedes WP:GNG is why I have opened this AFD, so the community can decide this for themselves. My job here is done I won’t be badgering you or anyone as this is indeed one of those cases in which I’m curious to see the outcome. I should also state that SNG’s are not necessarily > WP:GNG especially in a scenario as this where only 1 out 4 criterion’s are barely met. Celestina007 (talk) 23:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- I was aiming to prove meeting WP:CREATIVE, an SNG, not GNG. Sorry for any confusion. Criteria 3 of WP:CREATIVE: The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. I provided 3 (ie. multiple) independant reviews of a significant work created (written and directed) by Dwyer. The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, and NOW Toronto are all legit reviews. This explicitly meets WP:CREATIVE criteria 3. If you think that meeting an SNG such as WP:CREATIVE is insignificant reasoning for keeping an article, that is your prerogative, but please state that explicitly for the sake of clarity. Samsmachado (talk) 23:16, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Samsmachado, I was expanding on my rationale in the same time you were replying so there’s a bit of Ec there, It’s basically what you were asking me to do. I’m also curious about this one. Celestina007 (talk) 23:26, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for explaining. I appreciate that you're curious as to the outcome and I really don't mean to badger you here. I'm mostly expanding on things I left out of my original vote that I think are relevant in light of your comments. I think it's a little unfair to characterize the whole argument for keeping as barely meeting 1 of 4 SNG criterion. I was just clearly outlining those reviews as one example of how she meets CREATIVE3. Every other play she has directed is cited with a review in the WP article, many of those plays have multiple independant reviews. So there are plenty of cases of meeting CREAT3. I would argue that the article also meets crit. 4, part c of WP:CREATIVE and crit. 1 of WP:ANYBIO via Dwyer's Dora Awards for the collectively created children's play One Thing Leads to Another. But I feel that the awards route is a weaker argument because the awards recognize Dwyer's significant contributions as part of a collective rather than as an individual. (There is potentially a (albeit weak) case for meeting WP:ENT (even though I said it wasn't necessarily the appropriate criteria) via her theatre credits. But, that's weak.) Samsmachado (talk) 23:47, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- Samsmachado, my point of view is for we to consider someone notable WP:GNG has to be fulfilled. Surely certain SNG’s supersede GNG & a grand example would be WP:PROF as most academics are reserved & aren’t always in the spotlight, but the subject of your article is an actor & writer and more often than not always in the spotlight, so I’m not sure why locating reliable sources directly discussing her is becoming a daunting task. Like I said certain SNG’s like NPROF supersede GNG but as for CREATIVE? I honestly don’t think so, especially when only one out of four criterion from CREATIVE is met I’m sorry I’m repeating that. I think at this juncture we should both go to rest now. It’s 1:09am in my country & I have to be up by 4:00am for work. Celestina007 (talk) 00:14, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Celestina007 I'm not sure why you pointed out that the Globe and Mail article requires registration. That requirement is entirely immaterial to the task at hand here - even if its an entirely offline source you should AGF that it is relevant. In any case, I've added Internet Archive links to both of the Globe and Mail articles so readers so inclined can read them without registration. Personally I think there is plenty of coverage of this playwright to support notability, and my Google searches picked up even more stuff that could be added, so I vote keep. --Krelnik (talk) 13:41, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

An editor is very keen on creating articles for every song by this teen pop group, even though none of them appear to have charted anywhere in the world, and none of them appear to be notable. The editor has reverted all attempts to redirect the articles to the group's page or their discography, so I am bringing this one to AfD as a test case to see if other editors think the articles are notable – all of them follow this article's format of a line or two about where the video was filmed (not evidence of notability), and another line or two about the TV shows where the song was performed as promotion, and that's it. Of the sources in the article, the first Billboard article and the UOL article don't mention the song at all, the second Billboard source is literally a passing mention of the release of the video, the Febreteen source is a Brazilian teen magazine which isn't an RS and only exists as a promotional link to "watch the video below", and the Pagina Zero source is just a title with no content whatsoever. I can't find any reliable sources talking about this song. The only part of WP:NMUSIC that could possibly be met here is criterion 5 of WP:NALBUM, as the group performed the song on a TV show to promote it, but as that criterion suggests, if all that can be said about the song is "it was performed on The Late Late Show with James Corden" then it would be better to note this in one sentence in the group's article, not devote a separate article to it.

- Update: another SPA editor has added two links to a Swedish TV channel's website – the first link doesn't mention the song at all, the second only includes its name in a listing of the program's schedule. They also added three links to the group performing at the 2019 Champions League final, one of which doesn't mention the group at all, and the other two only mention their name in passing and none of their songs.

The nominator is correct about the originally-nominated song and his reasoning applies to all the others to varying degrees. Some of the songs made the charts in scattered countries but for purposes of brevity this can be mentioned at the group's page. All of the articles are overwhelmingly fancruft (or "managercruft"), as it takes a certain mindset to assume that every single one the group's songs deserve separate promotional articles, and note the so-called "Controversies" in several of them, which are just the imagined complaints of a few TV viewers supposedly outraged about their language being excluded. ––DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 00:52, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Not seeing enough depth of sourcing or coverage to justify an article. Plus the basic error in the 2nd paragraph. According to the first para, Moore's law would predict a 32-fold increase, not 10-fold. Edwardx (talk) 18:42, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- You misunderstood. The Moore's law says "doubles every two years", not "doubles every year". The topic of this article is very important and even if the article was removed, the concept should be preserved either on the Moore's law page, or on some page related to Huang or Nvidia. The GPU design industry is much more secretive and mysterious and doesn't get as much attention and coverage as the topics related to CPUs, so even this tiny bit of knowledge is valuable. But this law also explains why so little is known about GPUs - the progress is just happening too fast to even track it. 37.225.41.14 (talk) 20:11, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

- You've completely missed in your arguments the fact that ExtremeTech is one of the most important outlets that discusses the hardware architectures of GPUs. On Wikipedia, the term Computational power links to the article about Moore's law, which revolves around transistor counts, rather than computational power of hardware. The graphs in the Moore's law article that depict the progress of computational hardware are outdated and incomplete. To make an up to date graph for articles about Moore's law and Accelerating change, it would be necessary to include smartphone CPUs and GPUs, the tiniest of microcontrollers, modern GPGPU hardware from Nvidia and AMD, the Intel Xeon Phi, the AMD Threadripper, and various other accelerators like for example the ones used for AI acceleration. This graph would have to use a logarithmic scale, on which it would be then possible to draw a grid of slopes that would show the Moore's law growth rate, which would allow to verify Moore's predictions. I wasn't able to find a thorough examination of these trends or any relevant knowledge about the recent advances in those areas anywhere on Wikipedia. That's why i think that the idea discussed in this article is relevant - it's simply missing from Wikipedia. I think that your argument that this article is trying to make fetch happen is completely on point - naming a whole article after just two news pieces doesn't make much sense. The term "Huang's law" should only be mentioned as an anecdote, rather than be the sole reason for the articles existence at this point. The TOPS500 website includes data about adoption of Nvidia hardware in datacenters, and there is a dataset on a website related to progress of AI which includes the computational power of GPUs from the last two decades. I am not sure if there are other datasets like this available for other types of hardware like smartphone chipsets, but either way making a complete graph would likely take at least a day. The TOPS500 statistics show how important Nvidia has become in the supercomputer market, and these statistics alone aren't included in the articles about supercomputers or GPGPU. Joel Hruska hasn't objected the observation that the progress of GPU hardware hasn't been limited by Moore's law in the same way that it has affected the CPU market. Joel merely says that "Huang's law" never existed in the first place, that this term came out of nowhere, to object the recent articles that appeared in the less technologically fluent news outlets. Many of the Joel's observations would be very important in an article that would discuss this topic. Joel seems to be trying to say that "Huang's law" is not predictive of further progress of GPU hardware, and that it is subject to the trend of diminishing returns and as such, it has no power to overcome the limit of Moore's law. 37.225.41.14 (talk) 07:59, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

- Establishing notability for a topic can be realized by publishing a book. In the easiest case, it would be an ebook sold in the Amazon kindle store. In the more advanced attempt, the book is available in a printed version and is used for teaching purposes in a university course. The reason why an encyclopedia is dependent from book publication is because of an information hierarchy. Primary sources are aggregated into text books, and text books are aggregated into encyclopedic databases. Bypassing the information layers is producing a larger complexity. For example, if the referenced article in the “Wall street journal” comes to the conclusion that “Huang's law” is different from previous articles, then the Wikipedia article has to be adapted quickly. This will result into a rolling release encyclopedic article which is maintained by activists on a daily basis.--ManuelRodriguez (talk) 08:51, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. The main sources bolstering this are not reliable. One of which starts out by describing Moore's law as a "prediction" rather than an empirical observation (and later a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy). This per se renders the source unreliable. Another conflates the idea of transistor density (which is what Moore's law is actually about) with processor power (which is definitely isn't, and which is well-known). There's also a lot of overly credulous and hyped-up treatment of the concept rather than serious analysis of it. Maybe worst of all, that it's just not well-defined.
"Huang's law claims that a synergy between hardware, software and artificial intelligence makes the new 'law' possible."
The law claims something that makes the law possible? Huh? And there's still no clear statement of it. All this, at the very very least, adds up to a case of WP:TOOSOON. If this really turns into a better-defined thing that people really refer to on a large scale, then come back to this in 5 or 10 years. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:09, 25 September 2020 (UTC)- We don't gauge WP:RS based on our own assessment of the accuracy of an individual article. WSJ and Spectrum are reliable sources. If we base an article on these sources and they turn out to be wrong, we'll fix the article but we won't delete it. WP:GNG and WP:42 trump WP:TOOSOON. ~Kvng (talk) 16:46, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, we can in fact. WSJ may be nominally reliable, but that doesn't mean every single piece it contains is. If we identify a major, glaring, fundamental error in an article there, then it does call its reliability into question. Determining reliability is editorial judgement that we do have a say in. As for as the Spectrum piece, as XOR also pointed out above, a deeper reading of it indicates that it's about his talk, and not about any actual law:
"So Huang was throwing a variety of numbers out there; it seems he’s still working out the exact multiple he’s talking about."
One specific benchmark measurement pointed out by one guy in one talk does not a law make. It's an ill-defined nebulous topic that cannot be written about in a cohesive way until and if it becomes more widely accepted and better specified. WP:GNG doesn't apply because there is no topic to apply it to. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 17:23, 25 September 2020 (UTC)- Looks like a lot of sources about something that isn't a topic.. People play devil's advocate with the law to test the strength/predictive power. Oh wait, I said "prediction" because that is one thing laws can do for people similar to how the law of gravity provides predictive services for NASA, it's a common way people approach and use laws; but according to you because the source says "prediction" the entire source is invalid. C'mon your trying to discredit the sources, I get that, but is making mountains out of semantic and contextual molehills, it's not a reason to toss the source. -- GreenC 21:38, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- In a little more detail, look at the WSJ source:
So we're writing an article on a "law" that someone attempted to coin 6 days ago. A "law" which is so vague that the current article can't even properly describe it. So yeah, the source is not reliable insofar as it attempts to coin a new "law" of computing. XOR's fetch analogy above was both hilarious and eerily apt. If Gordon Moore had made his famous observation in a keynote speech 6 days ago, and then some people wrote about it and called it "Moore's law", it would also be inappropriate for an article. And it would have even have had the advantage of being specific: "transistor density doubles every 18-24 months" (or whatever the exact time frame is). It wasn't using some vague notion of "performance" that Mims is; it was talking about transistor density. We wouldn't have been able to write about Moore's law for quite a few years at the very least...until we knew that people were continuing to use the term in the same way, and that people had written about it and studied it. This isn't a topic. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 00:39, 26 September 2020 (UTC)I call it Huang’s Law ... It describes how the silicon chips that power artificial intelligence more than double in performance every two years. While the increase can be attributed to both hardware and software, its steady progress makes it a unique enabler of everything from autonomous cars, trucks and ships to the face, voice and object recognition in our personal gadgets.
- This is a well defined and widely researched topic, normally referred to as Beyond Moore or More than Moore, and it can be directly linked from this phrase in the Moore's law article. It's about reversing the Wirth's law, and about how the the room can be found within the software and hardware design itself, instead than in materials science. It touches upon the topics of GPGPU, hardware acceleration, and software optimization. It's about learning to do better engineering, instead of throwing billions of dollars at another company to do the work for you. 37.225.41.14 (talk) 05:48, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- coin 6 days ago .. actually some years ago. The term with capital letters has been in usage since April and May 2018. The HotHardware piece claiming a 2020 origin is not surprising as etymology is often confusing, for journalists or Wikipedia and anyone, but that sort of error doesn't invalidate the entire HotHardware article as unreliable. -- GreenC 13:32, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- @GreenC: If you're talking about the Spectrum piece, all it says is:
"Huang, who is CEO of Nvidia, didn’t call it Huang’s Law; I’m guessing he’ll leave that to others."
. That's the exact opposite of using it, and the piece was very clear to point out that Huang was being pretty vague with his claims, which also supports the fact that there's no topic here. Let me stress this point, because it's vital: there is no topic here. The ExtremeTech piece, contrary to trying to use it to support notability, goes out of its way to also explain why this is not some well-defined thing, like Moore's law is, and to criticize Mims for not knowing what the hell he's talking about. We can't write about a topic if there is no well-defined topic. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 14:13, 26 September 2020 (UTC)- Nearly every source in the article use the term and consider it a topic. Who coined the term originally is beside the point only that it's in currency. It also doesn't matter if the Law is accurate or not, only that it is in currency. Wikipedia could have articles on real laws, fake laws and controversial laws. The question is the degree of coverage for notability purposes. -- GreenC 14:21, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- But it can't have an article on a "law" that doesn't even have a definition, because it was an attempted coinage by someone a week ago who didn't really know what he was talking about. If this sticks, and there's actually some nailing down of precisely what this is about, and people actually write about it seriously, then we can. But that takes years to get a proper perspective on. And until then...there is no topic. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 14:28, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

- In a little more detail, look at the WSJ source:
- Looks like a lot of sources about something that isn't a topic.. People play devil's advocate with the law to test the strength/predictive power. Oh wait, I said "prediction" because that is one thing laws can do for people similar to how the law of gravity provides predictive services for NASA, it's a common way people approach and use laws; but according to you because the source says "prediction" the entire source is invalid. C'mon your trying to discredit the sources, I get that, but is making mountains out of semantic and contextual molehills, it's not a reason to toss the source. -- GreenC 21:38, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, we can in fact. WSJ may be nominally reliable, but that doesn't mean every single piece it contains is. If we identify a major, glaring, fundamental error in an article there, then it does call its reliability into question. Determining reliability is editorial judgement that we do have a say in. As for as the Spectrum piece, as XOR also pointed out above, a deeper reading of it indicates that it's about his talk, and not about any actual law:
- We don't gauge WP:RS based on our own assessment of the accuracy of an individual article. WSJ and Spectrum are reliable sources. If we base an article on these sources and they turn out to be wrong, we'll fix the article but we won't delete it. WP:GNG and WP:42 trump WP:TOOSOON. ~Kvng (talk) 16:46, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete, and merge content into Jensen Huang, as another editor said. This is a neologism that seems to be borne out of Nvidia marketing/PR. I have not heard of this being widely or seriously referenced in academic publications. On the other hand, there has been some coverage of it in reputable sources, so its content merits a place in Wikipedia after all. If/when this gets widely referenced, we can split it out to its own page. This is a message from Mr. XYZ. 18:29, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Draftify: The problem with this article is confusion between the works of a sacred organisation and the foundation and functions of a school to benefit the society. It should be moved back to draft, and heavily edited to show the purpose, benefits and notability of the school, outside of the references of the sacred organisation. --Whiteguru (talk) 12:44, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Sir, I am a beginner Wikipedia contributor. I did my best research for writing this school article. Basically, there are not so many articles available about this school on the internet. Only one article I found about this school from the (google book).
This school was established 1975 very old & well famous school in our city. Wikipedia like this type of content. Our Article is not promotional to any entity or organization nor this school supports any kind of religion. It is just based on the ideology of Sri Aurobindo & Mira Alfassa. This old school gives good education to the society. Like Integral education. Many students pass out from the school.
There is another school which is based on the same ideology which has a Wikipedia page -
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Aurobindo%27s_Rourkela_School
like the above-mentioned school, Matrubhaban School & college is also a Normal school. So, my humble request to not nominate/vote this article to be deleted. Also I am trying to improve my article. My hope u will approve my content.Rewrite Man (talk) 18:38, 26 September 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rewrite Man (talk • contribs) 18:12, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reply: Rewrite Man, I moved your comment down to the comments section, it was originally at the top of the nomination. I haven't altered the content of the comment in any way, just moved it to the proper place.
- Regarding the nomination, please read WP:GNG and WP:NORG. These are notability guidelines and they determine what subjects are considered appropriate for articles. The existence of another article doesn't impact the discussion here (see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS), but I did look at that article and did some research and it does not meet the guidelines above either. In the future you may wish to start your articles at Wikipedia:Articles for creation, when submitted they will be reviewed and the reviewer will let you know if the article meets notability or needs works. You can also ask questions at WP:TEAHOUSE. I hope this helps, please don't be discouraged, many articles are deleted. // Timothy :: talk 19:23, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Deleteredirect to United States representatives at Miss World. The added references are all to a relative thimbleful of local news coverage. The Victoria Advocate and the Paris News are cited four times each both the Del Rio News Herald and the Seguin Gazette-Enterprise are cited twice, making the assertion of "19 other sources" over-inflated. These are tiny purely local sources and their coverage counts for little significance. Sources demonstrate either significant coverage in non-reliable sources of reliable source coverage of little significance. Our basic standard remains unsatisfied.

WP:BLP of a political officeholder at the local level, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL #2. The highest level of office he's stated to have held is that of county assessor, which is not an "inherently" notable office that guarantees a Wikipedia article per se -- but the only claim to greater notability than the norm is that he was charged with (but ultimately acquitted of) a crime nowhere near serious or important enough to claim that he would be notable under WP:PERP. And as for the sourcing, five of the seven footnotes here are primary sources (content on the self-published websites of his own employers, press releases, all-candidate election information directories) that are not support for notability -- and the two that are WP:GNG-worthy media coverage aren't enough to make him notable all by themselves as every officeholder at the local level can always show at least two hits in the local media.

Prod rationale was Non-notable horse through trough. It's old, but that's not enough for notability. A city-level register of historic places is not enough to pass WP:GEOFEAT. I'm struggling to find coverage for this particular site. This is just a table listing and almost suggests it doesn't have a name beyond "Horse trough". Another brief listing. It exists, it's old, and it has a bland name. That's about all that I can find about this, and it doesn't meet WP:GEOFEAT or WP:GNG.. Deprodded by Spinningspark stating that if Wilson Cary Swann or Philadelphia Fountain Society existed, it could be merged there. However, GEOFEAT is still not met, GNG is not met, and since neither of the merge targets exist at the moment, to AFD this goes. Hog Farm Bacon 01:23, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

- Was: "Keep", for now at least, unless or until it might be merged into a larger article that covers the topic better. It is apparently an officially designated local historic site (one of 5 horse troughs listed), and the article carries a photo and has other info, is apparently tangible evidence of historical events. Wikipedia is not required to have a separate article about each separate historic site which exists, because many might be better covered as items in a larger list whose article provides context. Discussion above has not clearly identified a merger target article. I don't think AFD process is suitable for forcing development of coverage about persons, societies, places mentioned above. There is substantial info here which should not be lost or made inaccessible/unlikely to be found by future editors. We should defer to future editors actually developing about these topics, who would be free to merge this article without an AFD being necessary. --Doncram (talk) 22:18, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Merge to.... somewhere. Hi @Doncram, Spinningspark, Piotrus, and Eddie891:, responding to your comments above, looks like we agree that this horse trough doesn't reach notability by itself, but there's a history here, touching on multiple people & social issues, worthy of encyclopedic coverage. I've expanded the article with some of that history -- please have a quick look. There were dozens of fountains and many remain. I'm hoping for your opinion about an appropriate new merge target which would cover all such fountains and their sponsors, called something like Philadelphia public drinking fountains, which I would gladly help build.

- Keep The entry in the register is adequate to establish this as a notable historic feature. Whether it might be consolidated into a more general article about the fountains or the district or the parties involved is a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion, per our policies WP:ATD, WP:NOTPAPER and WP:PRESERVE. Note that policies trump guidelines. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:14, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Andrew Davidson: - The first part of your statement is rather problematic. The entry in the register does not establish notability. WP:GEOFEAT has the treshhold of national register, although in practice, it seems like this gets expanded for most state-level sites in the US. This fountain is on a local register, which falls several rungs below the GEOFEAT standard. Hog Farm Bacon 20:53, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

- Comment The first and fourth source you added do seem more significant. (I'm skipping over the other sources, because one's a slideshow of various apps and the others seem like routine coverage/software updates). But I'm not sure about their independence from the subject or significance, because one mentions affiliate links and the other is based around (routine?) coverage of a new software version + quotes from the CEO, so I find them a bit questionable. The best source in the article is [8], but I'm still not sure if one strong source plus the two above is enough or not.

- Keep These [9] [10] are not press releases, they are full write-ups in an independent newspaper (Nürnberger Nachrichten). Multiple winner of a statewide ministerial prize does carry some weight. Quite some overlap of other material with the multiply embattled Hemmersbach Rhino Force, but I don't think WP:NOTINHERITED applies (notability is not just based on the rhino thing). --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:09, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep This is another full-write ups from indepedant, reputable newspaper [11]. BR is Bavaria's public broadcasting service with 8 million listeners each day and did a dedicated interview on Hemmersbach's CEO, Ralph Koczwara [12]. Admittedly, the rhino story was one focus but equally so was Hemmersbach. I did include some blogs and press releases which I am happy to remove if wished by Wiki editors? Even if these articles were removed there would be no grounds for WP:ORGIND and [[WP:CORPDEPTH] due to variation of independent sources (ZDF, Nordbayern, South China Morning Post, BR, FairPlanet, Nurnberger Nachricthen etc). - MichaelDubley (talk) )02:03, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment The first two post are write-ups. Where is the clarification for the first post. If it was notable, where is the additional write-ups in other established sources. The second one is PR with the owner smiling and telling folk about how he grew up, took his company from 20 people to the size it is now. Classic PR, as a company originating story. You see it all the time. It well known advertising pattern. Both of them look like classic PR. All the photographs from Rhino force are all copyright Hemmersbach, indicating PR. If it genuine they would photographer doing the work. More PR. The third references [13] states its a sponsored article in the lede. Also a press-release. We will go through the references. I'll go through the references one by one. scope_creepTalk 11:20, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Hi Scope Creep, please allow me to answer your comment here. I, unfortunately, don't understand 'Where is the clarification for the first post.'. If you could kindly explain the post you mean I would be happy to try answer that for you? In regard to the additional write-ups you mention, I would classify the six distinct news organizations as this and they are as follows ZDF, Nordbayern, South China Morning Post, BR, FairPlanet, Nurnberger Nachricthen. If there is a hard rule for how many are required for a wiki-article then please direct me to it and I would be happy to make appropriate edits. The BR interview [14] is not a press release but an interview with an established journalist from a reputable radio organization. You are correct the line of questioning regards the companies originating story but as Hemmersbach was invited on the show it is not a press release. The show must be sponsored however not by Hemmersbach or an affiliated organization. You are correct the photos from the Domestic German newspapers (Nürnberger Nachrichten) and NordBayern are supplied by Rhino Force. It is expensive for photographers from a domestic newspaper to send a photographer to Africa and I guess it was a financial decision to use Rhino Force's photos. You can see the photos taken in Nuremberg are by the two domestic German newspaper photographers and not taken by Hemmersbach or Rhino Force [15]. The International journalism organizations used their own photographers, please see the links [16][17][18][19] but I digress as the content that uses Rhino Force as copyright pertains to the Rhino Force wiki page and not this one. For sure if you have any other questions let me know here or on my talk page and I would be happy to discuss so the article is in-line with how you and the editors think is appropriate. Many thanks! - MichaelDubley (talk) )01:18, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- I see your last article Rhino Force was deleted. Ive also noticed that your Anti-poaching article had a big section of Hemmersbach, which has now been removed. A subject like Anti-poaching is academic not a corporate article and to link it that way is WP:NPOV and WP:UNDUE. It is also highly WP:PROMO and WP:PUFF. scope_creepTalk 23:42, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi @Scope creep:, after reading your links to wiki rules I agree your edits to Anti-poaching make sense. Thank you for your advice! Perhaps you have advice for the Hemmersbach article? It's clear I do not know the wiki world well so I'd appreciate any advice you have time to give. The dream would be to have an article you are satisfied fits wiki rules, would you like me to remove the blog posts? - MichaelDubley (talk) )01:12, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Nürnberger Nachrichten is an esteemed and independent German newspaper, and does seem unrelated to the company in question; as such I do not think that WP:ORGIND applies. I also do not see any blogs cited as sources. However, I can somewhat relate to the sentiment that some parts of the article look somewhat PR'ish - but not to the degree that it would fail WP:PROMO.

I saw you also removed the section on the award that Elmidae thought added weight to the articles worth. I would ask you to please keep this section so it is acknowledged when the admin reviews the page for deletion. Since yourself and Elmidae + myself are in a disagreement over whether the award section is notable I think we should leave it for the admin to decide. - MichaelDubley (talk) )08:37, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Agree on that. Mentioning this type of award is pretty standard in company articles; and as you should know notability guidelines per se don't apply to material in articles, only to the article subject as a whole. I have reinserted the paragraph. This is a point that is separate from the overall assessment we are trying to reach here. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:01, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Not a single reference mentioned in the article or at this AfD meets the criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP. We require multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. What we have are a series of puff pieces and PR which fail the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 14:11, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. As I went through the citations I began to wonder if this was an IT company or a social/environmental activist organization. Nice that they are good corporate citizens but none of that explains why this company meets WP:SIRS. In picking just two the South China Morning Post citation is paid placement where the end of the article carries the disclaimer, “views and opinions expressed are those of the sponsor..”. The IHK Nürnberg für English language site doesn’t return anything about them the company name is ran through a search.

The sources, in spite of being mainly in reliable publications, are too complimentary of the company to demonstrate clear-cut independent content. This is why I think the company is a WP:ORGCRITE/WP:COMPANY fail. Their mention in an FT list is good but not significant coverage. Overall, this has the look of a really good PR drive. I would change my mind if several pieces of disinterested coverage in secondary sources were to surface.

- I've never heard of this artists, and Wikidata links to a europeana entry that doesn't exist, beut has his name as Fedor. The Kalinin Regional Picture Gallery is probably the Tver Regional Picture Gallery https://gallery.tverreg.ru/ (Tver used to be called Kalinin) I searched their catalog but came up with nothing. I suspect that Nikita Kozhin is Никита Иванович Кожин, but not ru:Кожин, Александр Иванович, also know as Nikita, apparently. Still, I came up empty. Maybe the creator User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao knows more? Vexations (talk) 20:38, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Vexations:, @AleatoryPonderings: this source contains an entry for him, stating pretty much what's in the Wikipedia article; that there's a portrait by him in the Tver gallery. A little more searching last night found a couple of other dictionaries with similar entries (I didn't make note of their names - I'll try to find more links later). I doubt very much there will be more to say about him, which then begs the question of whether or not he's worth writing about in the first place. I think he is, largely because of the fact that we know his name at all - how many Russian painters of the 18th century, working outside the main urban centers, can we say that about? --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 13:56, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- Ser Amantio di Nicolao, the text you cite is translated by Google as "GAVRILOV, Fyodor (2nd half of the 18th century) - painter. A portrait of his work is available in Tver Regional Art Gallery." (I don't speak Russian, so I depend on machine translations) That's not quite what the article says, and I find it a bit odd that the Tver Gallery itself has a lot of work online by
Russian painters of the 18th century, working outside the main urban centers
, but not this artist? I'm OK with keeping the entry, but only if we can verify that there is indeed such a painting, and where he worked. You seems t assume he worked outside the main urban centers, but we don't really know that, do we? To answer your question: I can find several: Grigory Ostrovsky and Vasily Tropinin for example. Vexations (talk) 11:52, 27 August 2020 (UTC) - @Vexations: The painting exists. It is illustrated in the book cited in the article, which was published in 1976 (we have an article about the exhibition curator, Savva Yamshchikov.) Why this particular painting was not digitized, I do not know...I find, though, that oftentimes smaller regional museums, both in the US and abroad, don't bother digitizing much more than the highlights of the collection. (Something which has frustrated my research many a time over the years.) I will try and scan it tonight, but can't guarantee a good copy. I'll update and smooth out the article tonight - I suspect part of the problem is that it's based on an outdated (i.e. Soviet) source. As to the point about the other two artists - I actually created Grigory Ostrovsky using the same source. :-) (He is particularly interesting to me because of the fact that 17 of his works were found at once, in one location.) And Tropinin is something of a special case, in that while he did live outside of the urban centers for much of his life, he was educated in Saint Petersburg, he wasn't an itinerant, and he ultimately lived in Moscow. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 18:12, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

New page review: this article is about the character name of an avatar assumed by a Youtuber in Japan. The content tells us that they have done many things on Youtube, and are famous within their niche. There is a great amount of detail, but nothing that suggests significance to me. Each detail is sourced but the sources appear to be social media, user-generated content and fan sites. Thus:
- 1. Twitter
- 2. Panora, does not look like a reliable source
- 3. Peatix, not a third party source
- 4. YouTube channel
- 5. Upd8, not a third party source
- 6. 12, 13, 14, 15 Toppa seems to be an online promotional outfit though it appears to have ‘editorial staff’
- 7. 10. 11. 16. MoguraVR does not appear to be a reliable source
- 8. V-data. User-generated content

- Strong keep. No achievements are required to demonstrate notability: we look for significant coverage in reliable sources. She's famous for her association with Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but there's plenty of coverage demonstrating her notability. The New York Times and The Times (among many others) wrote extensive obituaries[20][21] on her death last month which practically satisfy WP:GNG on their own. pburka (talk) 16:53, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per pburka. The Associated Press also ran an obituary [22] that we can add to the pile. (I didn't learn until today that her husband was only able to finish One Hundred Years of Solitude because she "persuaded their landlord in Mexico City to let the rent slide for seven months" [23].)

- Speedy Keep. This nomination is just a naked appeal to institutional misogyny. There is not the slightest attempt to argue that the extensive coverage the subject has received doesn't satisfy the GNG. Instead the nominator asserts that a woman whose spouse is more notable than she is should be treated as "subservient" to him and as undeserving of an individual biography.

- Keep - What an incredibly strong woman. There is nothing "subservient" about her that I can see. The very fact that she had such a profound impact upon her husband which allowed and encouraged him to win the Nobel Peace Prize is amazing. As stated above, her obituary made it in the Associated Press which we can all agree is a reliable source of notability. She passes the necessary requirements and I would love to see the article further expanded.Tsistunagiska (talk) 20:46, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

The article contains provocation and violates the rules of Wikipedia.
1. The title of the photo on which the Armenian residents of Stepanakert are holding a demonstration demanding reunification with Armenia is presented as an anti-Azerbaijani demonstration, the motive of which, as shown in the article, is itself Anti-Azerbaijanism.
2. The author of the article used numerous Azerbaijani sources that obviously cannot be considered independent.

- Keep but preferably merge/expand
- It is verifiably the case from reliable sources that a major incident of ethnic violence occurred in the Stepanakert area from 18-21 September resulting in the forced displacement of ethnic Azeris from the city. Verifiability and general notability are clearly satisfied.
- This article at present is very biased. The "Background" section focuses exclusively on Armenian–on–Azeri violence. There's far too much reliance on obviously partisan Azerbaijani sources, including as sole sourcing for particularly lurid accusations like well poisoning, etc.
- While the events meet the general notability guideline, that would seem to be equally true of the simultaneous and parallel expulsion of Armenians from Shusha, the gun attack by Azeri militants on a bus full of students which was used as the provocation or pretext for the Stepanakert attacks, etc. It would probably be best to cover the September 1988 Stepanakert events within a broader article, unless it can be shown that reliable sources actually do treat it as an especially notable event relative to everything else going on around the same time.

Nominators rationale The article is little more than half-a-dozen random examples of use of a term which - while it may be regularly used in the Isr-Pal context - is not the subject of study in its own right and therefore not suitable as a WP topic. There are many word conjunctions, which are vaguely critical, used by one side to characterise the position of the other, Russian intransigence, European bureauocracy, Turkish sabre-rattling, American aggression may also be simarly used terms in particular contexts. The definition in the lead appears to be WP:OR, and necessarily so since I could not find any source defining the term. It is not even very neutral OR, since the term appears to be largely used by pro-Israel sources to negatively characterise the Arab non-recognition of Israel. The term might well be apt to be used within one of the Isr-Pal articles, but does not justify its own article IMO. Pincrete (talk) 09:24, 16 September 2020 (UTC) Apologies for messing up the initial nomination and thanks to Lightburst.

- Comment. Daniel Pipes is a fringe theorist, so any discussion of the notability of this topic ought to disregard (or, at least, seriously discount) his views on the matter, which are currently reproduced in the article. No comment on notability in general. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 23:28, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Palestinian ([33], [34],[35]) / Arab ([36] [37], [38], [39]) is a long standing concept and field of study. The Arab/Palestinian rejection of compromise dates back to the earliest phases and persists to this day in some Arab regimes (e.g. Syria) that reject even the existence of Israel. Vici Vidi (talk) 06:42, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- None of the sources given say WHAT it is. That the term is used, usually by those who wish to characterise the Arab position as unreasonable, as do some of these examples, is not doubted by me. That it is a subject in its own right, independent of issues such as the legitimacy of Israel, or history of attempts at diplomatic settlement, I DO doubt. The present article does not even attempt to be what you claim - a history of Arab rejection of compromise proposals - it simply quotes 5 random uses of the term, most of which coincidentally point to the speaker effectively saying "it's their own fault". I might find 100s of examples of Brexiteers speaking of "European intransigence", that would not make "European intransigence" a topic. Pincrete (talk) 08:26, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, some countries reject the existence of Israel. That is covered in the article that I asked Shrike about above, "Legitimacy of the State of Israel". Why do we need a second article about the same subject, but just devoted to one of the points of view? Phil Bridger (talk) 17:48, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- Arab rejectionism predates (1920 or even further back) the creation (1948) of the state of Israel by a few decades. It is also wider than just denying the existence of Israel, encompassing also a rejection of compromises that don't involve the recognition of Israel. Vici Vidi (talk) 06:49, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- What people appear to be arguing, is that 'Arab rejectionism' is the pro-Israeli term for Arab attitudes to both the possibility in the past, or actuality since 1948 of a Jewish state of Israel - the Arabs don't want it at all under any circumstances, which is hardly news to anyone, but apparently needs a term to characterise it. But no source provides any definition either of the term, nor who uses it (exclusively non-Arabs AFAI can see). That the term is used as a mildly perjorative, mildly dismissive term is not in doubt. If it exists as an area of study at all - which I doubt - the current article certainly isn't it, which has an WP:OR'd definition and 5 or 6 random examples of use.Pincrete (talk) 08:43, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

- Concur that the source neither discusses nor defines the term - it uses it to characterise what the pro-Israel source sees as the non-constructive Arab attitude to Judea and Samaria, which the source claims simply cannot by definition be 'occupied'. If the article were about the term, it might make sense, if it were about the history of non-negotiation by Arab entities, it would be merely a 'loaded' and perjoratively titled article which largely reproduced the content of better articles, but what we have is 5 or 6 random examples of use of a term, supported by a non-neutral and WP:OR definition.

- Delete - as per Lightburst the article violates OR and SYNTH and is more of a POV-pushing essay than anything else. Sowny (talk) 11:08, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete The article clearly violates OR and SYNTH as others have already stated. Plus, it's already covered in the other that people have cited. A brief mention that the idea pre-dates the creation of Israel is perfectly fine. You don't need a separate article for it. That said, I see no evidence it predates Israel anyway. Especially with quotes in the article like "Daniel Pipes regards the question "Should Israel exist?" as the "core issue" of the Arab–Israeli conflict. According to Pipes, "most Arabs at most times have emphatically replied with a "no." This attitude—what I call rejectionism—stubbornly holds that the Jewish state must be destroyed, with its inhabitants either subjugated, exiled or killed." Although, I do acknowledge that someone else in the article says "Arab rejectionism is responsible for having made the murder of Jewish civilians into a persistent feature of Arab policy that has been ongoing since the 1920 Nebi Musa riots", but from what it sounds like it is a 100% personal reading of whoever wrote that to call the murder of Jewish civilians in the 20s "Arab rejectionism", and it's meant more in the general way of "Arab's reject Jews." Compared post creation of Israel where it seems to be more of an actual idea, that's specifically put forth by Arabs as one. So, like I said, mentioning it in the other article is perfectly fine. It's not like articles about states or ideas don't have brief mentions of things that predate or influenced them anyway and I see zero reason not to do so here. --Adamant1 (talk) 12:41, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

While there are several sources that mention Fredrik Liljegren, all but one are principally about the company he co-founded: DICE, and he is only mentioned in passing. The last source focuses on RedJade, another company he worked at, again with a passing mention. In the same vein, most of the content that is sourced (I recently took out several unsourced parts) talks about DICE and only briefly about how he was involved, rather than about him directly.
There are only some key points about him in the sources:
- He co-founded The Silents
- He co-founded DICE with some Linnaeus Uni students
- He worked at RedJade
I could not verify the integrity of the claims based on the Svenska Dagbladet article because full access to the SD archive is paywalled and the text in the preview thumbnail is illegible. However, the handful of paragraphs alone likely do not suffice for notability.
The subject, therefore, seems to fail WP:GNG, so I propose a redirect to the DICE article (merging is probably useless because all releveant content is already there). Favourably, the article should first be deleted and then a redirect created on top, so to avoid unwanted IP revert efforts. IceWelder [✉] 16:14, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. As I said two years ago, Liljegren is the subject of articles in dominating Swedish newspapers over a period of at least twenty years, from 1994 and onwards. There's enough about him, not the companies, that I consider the notability criteria met. Unfortunately early newspaper articles are not necessarily easily accessible, but that's no different here than in many other situations where we rely on printed material. /Julle (talk) 22:04, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Keep I've been thinking a lot about several articles which highlight a WP:SYSTEMIC problem about cultures that have been underrepresented historically. This figure seems to have had some importance in the politics of his time in 19th century Kosovo. One of the articles which have been used as a source, has been written by Ukshin Zajmi, an exceptional Kosovan journalist who died a few months ago. The nr.2 leader of the ruling party of Kosovo made an announcement about this sad event - an example of how well respected this figure was in Kosovo. I've done some cleanup - more should be done - and linked Zajmi's article but in general, sources do not have to be available online or written in English

On reviewing this article, I note that the text is a lightly-obfuscated raw machine translation of the French-language version of the article. Wikipedia's longstanding view on machine translations is set out at WP:MACHINETRANSLATION. Please will the community authorise the article's deletion?

- Because dropping a raw machine translation into en.wiki takes seconds, but repairing a raw machine translation takes a long time to do right; and it's always easier to retranslate from scratch than to repair.

- The article's been re-created as a raw machine translation a few times now, and I think it's on someone's bucket list of Articles Wikipedia Should Have. I'm trying to force the next version to go through AFC for quality control, as I'm sure any stubbification would be reverted.—S Marshall T/C 19:35, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- Draftify or (failing that) userfy to my userspace per WP:BLP. With reasonably high-profile public figures like this, we need to be sure we're getting things absolutely right, and it's not clear that the translation here is doing that. However, I think it's almost certain that the subject is notable, so if the concern is accuracy, why not send it to draft? That way, we can keep what is reasonable to keep and get rid of the bad machine-translated bits. And if S Marshall's concern is a lack of AfC quality control, draftifying seems a fair solution.

- Keep but stubbify or (as an alternative) Draftify to allow clean-up. If notability isn't in question, deletion shouldn't be happen (in the majority of cases; there are of course exceptions such as TNT and copyvio). I agree machine translations shouldn't remain untouched, but I 1) don't see convincing evidence that a good stuffification won't stick, and 2) if not, draftifying to allow clean-up can occur. Also, where's the repeated recreation? Looking at the logs, it's only been re-created once, and there's also no evidence that one person has been repeatedly re-creating it against consensus. Of course, It's possible that I missed something, in which case I will reconsider my !vote. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 12:09, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

I don't know why this was moved from draft space to article space; it's little more than a sort of dictionary definition with explanations from one or two reliable sources--but that they explain it doesn't make it encyclopedically notable. Note also that 2/3 of the "History" section is completely irrelevant, and that the "Public perception" part merely lists the sources and provides editorial commentary on them. I don't know if Wiktionary has an entry, but that's where it might belong--not here. Drmies (talk) 01:26, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- We have a bunch of articles for slang terms with roughly analogous levels of notability; see the see also sections of beta male (slang) and the pages it leads to. Perhaps they all need to go, but I don't see soy boy as out of place among them. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 01:35, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

- Tentative keep. There are reliable sources that contain in-depth discussion about the term soy boy, rather than just usages of the term, so I think this passes WP:WORDISSUBJECT. Besides the sources in the article I found the following:[1][2][3][4][5] – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 20:02, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

- Merge to Effeminacy per Andrew. There are some news and blog articles covering it, just like there are about basically any popular insult. The topic here seems to be Beta male (slang) (or Sissy or some sense of gender role, or I'm sure there are a lot more that cover effectively the same pejorative) plus some pseudoscience about phytoestrogen, which is better covered elsewhere. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 05:17, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. Just because the history of a korean game is hard to find attested in the english internet does not make it non-notable. Very eurocentric. I restored this because for some reason, instead of properly keeping the articles merged as in the last deletion discussion, people went out of their way to eradicate the information represented herein from the page it was merged to. Tens of thousands of people were benefiting from this software project at its peak, and thousands still benefit from its successors today. I do not understand the contention that it is insignificant just because it is difficult to find western sources. --73.203.82.95 (talk) 06:43, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- The contention is not that it is "insignificant" but that it lacks significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. Such sources in Korean would be sufficient for writing an encyclopedia article on this topic were they to exist. czar 22:31, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Such sources exist on the korean internet and can be found easily. For example, from the korean gaming press: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ko&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamemeca.com%2Fview.php%3Fgid%3D124653 . This topic is primarily obscure only in english. To understand the significance of these software projects it is requisite and necessary to search the Korean internet as well as in the internet of the philippines, which are were most users are found, along with most reporting. Researching these things is difficult for me because the relevant languages aren't part of my cultural background or identity, but they ARE there. --73.203.82.95 (talk) 08:05, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry but isn't that brief section about jAthena, not eAthena, which is only mentioned in passing? And wouldn't anything that needs to be said about jAthena fit adequately within the parent article? Still not seeing the case for significant coverage here. czar 02:11, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
- Why are you lying? The eAthena forums are screenshotted clearly in the article; and more to the point, jAthena is not a distinct entity. The E and j are names refer to the language of transslation of a shared codebase. If you want to argue that there should be a generalised athena article, fine, by all means, but this is like arguing that the entire linux project is non-notable because few people use the esperanto tranlation. It is a red herring. --73.203.82.95 (talk) 09:25, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Thanks all for your inputs, I quite don't agree on the part of the subject not being notable, media publications in various countries have their peculiarities, the subject is quite notable in his country Nigeria, I just added more reference sources to more recent publications made concerning the subject being recognized by three National youth organizations for his business achievements and youth development. These publications were made before the request for deletion. The subject's Music label has a verified page on Instagram and you and I know it's more easier to get a Wikipedia page than to be verified on Instagram. The article has nothing promotional other than just cited mentions of necessary contents that should make up a normal Wikipedia page. If there are areas anyone feel needs to be corrected, it can be pointed out for corrections rather than suggesting deletion. Thank you. Delords (talk) 23:09, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:SIGCOV. Other than an alleged criminal case, there is nothing to report. He appears to be a very ordinary business person and musician/producer. Lots of people are locally famous, but don't meet our standards for notability. Bearian (talk) 16:00, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I still support my keep request. More readings into some of the cited news sources tells he is not just an ordinary business person, he owns a group of different companies which are all doing well and runs an NGO. His music label was launched in 2004 and had some popular artists then under it's label and this was in a period when several news media in Nigeria only had a major focus on print media and not online, which is why you won't find much of that online. Out of current 29 references, about 22 of them were on other activity reports other than the said court case which has only 7 sources and I wonder why it became a basis for the deletion. There are other reliable reference sources that were not cited in the article. What works in other region must not always be the case in other regions. There are thousands of articles which won't level up to this, but were allowed on Wikipedia which makes me feel if there are any bias as to why this shouldn't be allowed. I am Nigerian and know more about what happens in Nigeria. Thank you. Delords (talk) 18:44, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete — Having just looked at the first six sources used in the article I observed at least five are press releases and one blatantly lacks editorial oversight. I share similar concerns with Bearian, as truly there aren’t enough significant coverage in reliable sources for this article to fundamentally satisfy WP:GNG. Celestina007 (talk) 19:20, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Thank you for your input @Celestina007: Apart from the six sources, there are over twenty others available, most music labels don't sign Artists behind closed doors, it always draws media attentions and most media agencies work together on reports they make. I don't agree with you on lacking editorial oversight or less significant coverage. You can do your personal Google search on the subject and all cited sources are reliable and major sources which you know quite well. Thank you. Delords (talk) 22:41, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete The person lacks the multiple in-depth reliable sources he would need to be notable. Maybe there are better sources out besides what is currently in the article, but unfortunately they all seem to be massively lacking and I couldn't find anything that would be usable when doing a search for him in Google, just more trivial and bad sources. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:02, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
