The result was delete. The "delete" arguments are stronger. BLPs need good reliable sources per WP:BLP. The "keep" opinions mostly point to porn awards. These are at best indications of notability, and rather questionably so since the deprecation of WP:PORNBIO. They cannot substitute for the BLP policy's requirements for good sourcing. While there are some sources cited here, we find policy-based arguments from the "delete" side about why in their view these sources are insufficient, but there are no rebuttals from the "keep" side.

There is a single source that passes RS and it's by Martin Amis so I would accept that even though it's an interview and of dubious independence but everything else is utterly unacceptable to.meet the GNG. Unless extra sources appear this is a living bio that fails to meet notability. Spartaz Humbug! 23:49, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep - It's really difficult to find sources for someone with a common single name. Luckily these citations already in the article [1] [2] indicate that she passes the GNG. Further, her AVN multiple actress awards and hall of fame status is evidence towards WP:ANYBIO. Morbidthoughts (talk) 01:31, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

- The second source literally says she likes fisting and did this in a scene. It's not enough and awards and halls of fame were explicitly rejected by the community as evidence of notability when pornbio was removed. Spartaz Humbug! 13:30, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- You and I may find the author's detail of the scene mundane and unimportant, but this dismissive reduction is not appropriate description of the coverage. He devotes paragraphs and paragraphs to her scene and her predilections to set up the rationale for the obscenity prosecution. Significant coverage is about how much a reliable source reports on a subject not about how important you think their coverage is or should be. Morbidthoughts (talk) 18:42, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete the presented sources are not anywhere near enough to show notability. It is time we start applying some expectation of reasonable levels of coverage, and that is clearly lacking here. Wikipedia is far too plauged with under sourced articles, we have no reason to keep this one.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:44, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I found some more sources related to Chloe and those paired with the ones already in the article that were mentioned above, her several major award wins (Best Actress, Performer of the Year and her AVN and XRCO Hall of Fame Inductions) makes her notable and that she meets GNG and ANYBIO as Morbidthoughts asserted above. Sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the parts related to Chloe of The The Guardian linked in the article which is now behind a pay wall on it's official site part 1, part 2.Wikiuser20102011 (talk) 00:59, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment I found a book (The Ultimate Guide to Adult Videos: How to Watch Adult Videos and Make Your Sex Life Sizzle) that discusses Chloe and her films she directed, here on pages 87 and 183 plus a few other mentions elsewhere in it. It's an independently published book, but the publisher (Cleis Press) and the writer (Violet Blue) both seem to be notable.Wikiuser20102011 (talk) 01:46, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete: does not meet WP:ENT / WP:ENT. The above sources are passing mentions and/or WP:SPIP. For example, the Salon source is about the crackdown on extreme porn and not about Chloe, Village Voice does not qualify for notability, etc. Further, the statement that
Further, her AVN multiple actress awards and hall of fame status is evidence towards WP:ANYBIO
got to be a joke; PORNBIO was deprecated exactly because these various industry awards do not result in significant coverage towards BIO. --K.e.coffman (talk) 04:33, 24 December 2019 (UTC)- You conveniently ignore WP:SIGCOV: "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." and WP:BASIC: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" when it suits your argument. Morbidthoughts (talk) 07:26, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment K.e. Coffman, Chloe was a pivotal part of that Salon piece, as she was one of the performers in the scene that caused the court case being discussed and was mentioned a fair amount in the article. Would you mind pointing me to where on here it says The Village Voice isn't a reliable source? I can't find anything that says it isn't. It may be an alternative newspaper, but it did have an editorial team and has even won journalism awards including ones for investigative reporting. In addition, the author (Tristan Taormino) is a noted writer and is notable enough to have her own wikipedia article. Wikiuser20102011 (talk) 07:04, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete since subject fails WP:NACTOR, WP:ANYBIO, WP:SIGCOV (aka WP:GNG), and WP:NPERSON. The multiple porn-industry awards do not confer Wikinotability on our subject; not since WP:PORNBIO was deprecated. As to the rest of the links submitted above to support a general notion of notability, they are worthless, either on their own or cumulatively: A write up about where the porn business was heading in 2001, in which our subject is used among many others as a source or "inside" information; an open discussion with porn fans organized in 2000 by the "Adult DVD Talk" website that hosts such discussions with every other female porn-performer; some interview by a blogger plus another piece by a blogger, hosted in 2001 on Salon, about "extreme porn" with interviews by some of its practitioners, such as our subject; a 2005 report on "AdultFYI" featuring Chloe on her "AEE experience" (flu & no voice); and that's it. The rest of the links are about porn awards. We cannot be supporting inclusion in Wikipedia on the basis of such thin evidence. -The Gnome (talk) 19:14, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - This reads almost like a press release - although I would expect more meaningful content from a press release. Even after reading it, I have no idea what they do. And yes, our family was in the oil business. If someone wants to re-write it, perhaps they might like to take a look at other oil-field service company entries, like Schlumberger or others in List of oilfield service companies? Tangurena (talk) 14:51, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - this company has no significant coverage (entirely listings or local news), and does not inherit notability automatically from its client list.

- Keep even though WP:PORNBIO was depreciated, the two hall of fame inductions are a pass of WP:ANYBIO Lightburst (talk) 15:18, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

- That RfC applies to all porn awards. Award wins without independent reliable sources that acknowledge them as significant achievements satisfy neither WP:ENT nor WP:ANYBIO. WP:PORNBIO now expressly points to WP:BASIC and WP:ENT to avoid ANYBIO. In the past three months, four members of the AVN Hall of Fame (Luc Wylder, Mark Wood, Mandingo and Joanna Jet) have been deleted at AfD. Porn awards by themselves no longer establish notability in Wikipedia. • Gene93k (talk) 00:24, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Being in the Hall of fame - in fact two halls, is more than an award and has not been mentioned at all in that RFC. There are thousands and thousands of porn workers. Very few are in any hall of fame let alone two. 2002 AVN Hall of Fame inductee 2009 XRCO Hall of Fame inductee. Depreciated PORNBIO has caused me to vote delete 90% of the time. In this case, a deletion will be against our guidelines. Lightburst (talk) 01:40, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Two of the deleted porn stars listed above (Luc Wylder and Mark Wood) are dual hall of fame inductees. Once again, porn honors minus acknowledgement by reliable sources != notability. This is an appeal to PORNBIO criterion #2. That entire SNG was taken down because it undermines the quality and credibility of Wikipedia as a reference work, hall of fame or not. If independent reliable sources are available to acknowledge a performer's contributions to porn, he or she can pass WP:ENT. • Gene93k (talk) 23:41, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

- Greetings, Lightburst. This is an important point. Porn awards mean nothing since WP:PORNBIO has been (explicitly and entirely) deprecated. Halls of fame, pantheons, top performers' lists, and all such items have been rendered irrelevant. A person can be in the hall of fame of the Greek game of barbouti or of the Peruvian sapo and it woud contribute to that person's Wikinotability precisely nothing. We have to offer something beyond porn to claim a subject is worthy of a Wikipedia article, e.g. WP:NCREATIVE, WP:GNG. Take care. -The Gnome (talk) 07:58, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- I would also point out that the problem with AVN "awards" is that AVN is simply a trade magazine, it is part and parcel of the industry. These "awards" are given to people that they have legal and business interests with. Zaathras (talk) 13:48, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep - There's enough coverage for a biography based on sources like the San Diego Union Tribune, Men's Journal [3], and AVN [4] and other books[5][6]. I agree with Lightburst that her hall-of-fame status and multiple performer (not scene awards) are evidence towards ANYBIO and WP:ENT (criteria 3) given they were not explicitly rejected for those guidelines in the RFC deprecating PORNBIO. Morbidthoughts (talk) 00:02, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
- These sources are kinda crap. Men's Journal is a blurb on the AVN award, the AVN link itself is porn industry self-promotion, the book cited as "[3]" doesn't appear to be an actual book at all. "The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 20" is given as a title on the left, but it is just page after page of obituaries cribbed from an unknown source. Book "[4]" is "101 Nights of Grrreat Sex: Secret Sealed Seductions for Fun Loving Couples", a brief excerpt listing one of her films as good to bang to. Zaathras (talk) 13:00, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
- Naw. The Men's Journal is two paragraphs of coverage of the actual winning of the award that people have been bitching about not having enough coverage about with the awards themselves. Meanwhile, the AVN link is an obituary that I'm wondering where the self-promotion of a dead person is. You are now arguing about whether this shit is actually important versus how much coverage sources give her. Morbidthoughts (talk) 07:33, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
- No, I'm arguing about you stretching sources past the point of credulity to support non-existent criteria. Porn awards are not notable achievements. Neither is an obit for a dead sex worker something that counts towards notability. That most of them don't shuffle off by 40 is a testament to modern medicine.

Non-notable game. Never released, and the cancellation didn't generate enough publicity to attain notability for that. Technically ineligible for PROD because a version of this was deleted at AfD in 2005 before being recreated in 2006. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:31, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - I found some coverage through GameSpot, but it’s very scant. I get the impression that the game was killed very early in development based on the statement released about it. There’s really not enough in the developer’s article to warrant a redirect at this time, though that may change if the developer’s article is enhanced at some point.

In any case, video game fails WP:GNG as there is no significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, most likely because it never came to be.

- Keep. Really? The PROD was removed as an editor began work to improve and source the article, and this AfD was opened eight minutes later. You haven't given the editor or the article a chance at all, and it comes across as pointy. I'd recommend merging to a relevant character list if nothing can be done, but the character is a regular on a BBC daytime soap, with a few award wins and nominations that are now mentioned & sourced within the article. A quick Google search is promising source wise, though to those who are unfamiliar with the subject area, it might not look like it. - JuneGloom07 Talk 22:35, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- If someone removes a PROD without a comment, most of the time it's simply a decline without improvement. I don't expect the whole detailed message on the talk page shebang, but some mention of "going to improve the article" in the edit summary would help. I'd disagree that mere nominations in such a narrow reward space mean much of anything towards notability though. TTN (talk) 22:44, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

- The AfD is due to the fact that you made no comment and made two cursory edits having nothing to do at all with solving the issue noted in the PROD. I admit I may be jaded, but that's probably, without exaggeration, the exact trend in 95% of undone PRODS. TTN (talk) 23:13, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep This clearly passes WP:GNG... Just because an article has little sourcing does not mean that it isn't notable. Al Haskey is a regular on a nationwide soap opera watched regularly by millions of viewers daily. There are plenty of independent and reliable sources out there. – DarkGlow (talk) 23:36, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Greetings, DarkGlow. I'm afraid Wikipedia does not work the way you put it. We need sources! In fact, without sources there can be no notability. This much is clear and for this reason Wikipedia notabiity (aka Wikinotability) is not the same as how we understand notability in real, daily life. Take care. -The Gnome (talk) 08:14, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- @The Gnome: I'm not sure you understood my phrasing. What I meant is that before the article was expanded, it had little sourcing, therefore it was believed he was not notable. There are lots of sources out there which can be used, therefore they just needed to be added to satisfy GNG (which they now have). Perhaps my wording was a bit confusing. In short, the article just needed development from sources we already have available. – DarkGlow (talk) 08:21, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep The impressive expansions and improvements by Raintheone in recent days with cited reliable sources establish notability to the point that this article should be kept. (For what it's worth, I believe TTN acted in good faith with the PROD and subsequent AFD; if TTN had known or had been told there were significant improvements ongoing and did the AFD anyway, that would be one thing, but I don't think that was the case here or that there was any malicious intent.) — Hunter Kahn 15:45, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

The result was delete. This is a very poor discussion. What needs to be addressed is the sourcing (or lack thereof) that establishes the notability of the topic. Apart from the nomination, the "delete" opinions barely do so, but the "keep" opinions do so even less. Arguing about what consensus means is entirely beside the point here. The article is therefore deleted based on Randykitty's and Headbomb's statement, who seems to be the only persons who have actually looked for sources. Sandstein 11:43, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Thoughts on the added sources, @Randykitty and Headbomb?
- Comment: Thanks for the ping, I had already removed this from my watchlist. As I had the article also on my watchlist, I saw the added sources 2.5 weeks ago, but didn't think that it added much to notability. I just looked again and stay with my "delete" !vote. Headbomb's !vote was long after the additions, so he must have taken those into account, too, but I guess he'll comment himself shortly. --Randykitty (talk) 22:37, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete agree with the deletion arguments. This is not notable. To further demostrate how unnotable this magazine, see how many times this magazine was used in Wikipedia [12].--SharabSalam (talk) 23:10, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. I disagree with deletion arguments. If someone could quote exactly what is notable and unnotable for Wikipedia articles on mass medias, please? Otherwise it's speculation based on personal tastes without reference to generally accepted rules. 94.43.12.141 (talk) 09:32, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Just see the links to guidelines and policies quoted above. And none of the arguments given above are "personal tastes". --Randykitty (talk) 12:41, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Please keep. I believe we have different views on what the word "consensus" means. According to Merriam-Webster, the Latin word consensus means general agreement,UNANIMITY. In the case discussed, as far as I can recall, there was at least one comment against deletion, specifically asking to keep the article (on the grounds that the journal was important for civil society or something like that). Therefore, according to the said definition, we cannot observe consensus in the sense of UNANIMITY of opinions, IMHO.Blanes 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- As I've already replied on your talk page, "Consensus is not the same as unanimity." There is plenty of documentation for WP's operating procedure and I suggest starting there instead of the dictionary. Articles require significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources. czar 00:59, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Interesting point you've just touched. Do you generally place Wikipedia above the (world's most trusted) dictionaries? Just curious.Blanes 23 December 2019 (UTC)
- Nope, but that's how we use it in WP. Please read WP:NOTUNANIMITY. It's the same with "notability", which we also use in a manner that's perhaps not entirely consistent with the dictionary definition. --Randykitty (talk) 10:27, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep The current state of the article does not affect its notabilty, per WP:CONTN. In terms of availability of sources, A Google search indicates a fair amount of coverage, and that's just in English. It certainly doesn't seem any worse in terms of notability than any of the other articles in Category:State agencies of Tamil Nadu, or, to use an equivalent western example, List_of_California_state_agencies. There's some musing that "individuals in charge of government major departments (Transportation, Police, Education, Fire, etc.) that oversee populations of 100,000 people or more are generally considered notable". Similarly, I'd argue that bureaus of a regional government responsible for serving 72 million people should generally be considered notable. -Kieran (talk) 19:51, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

For some time I have not had any issues with these pages, but I recently put forward my opinion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of births, marriages and deaths in Emmerdale, and during that time took a look at two different Wikipedia Policies - WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:FANCRUFT, and from this I have begun to wonder if this page is doing the exact same thing - being tailored to be only of interest to fans of The Apprentice (UK), and thus not for those of general interest. I nominate this page for AfD but with three suggestions to consider:
- KEEP - The page should be retained because there is a consensus amongst editors that my concern of it being only interesting to fans is unfounded.
- DELETE & MERGE - The page should be deleted as they're purely of interest to fans, but information for candidates who already have articles should be merged in to their respective article.
- DELETE WITHOUT MERGE - The page should be deleted, as none of the information is of general interest and should be preserved.

- Delete and merge. Fancruft in this state, but I think a "List of The Apprentice candidates" or something similar is a reasonable concept for a list article. Not sure why there needs to be one for each individual season. If one candidate is themselves notable (e.g. Susie Ma, Katie Hopkins, Leah Totton etc) then we can by all means have an article on them as individuals. — 🦊 22:21, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Oh, I see we already have such a list article. Let's just use that. — 🦊 22:22, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: I was tempted to nominate List of The Apprentice (British TV series) candidates as well, but I changed my mind on the belief that the article could be cleaned up or remade to something more appropriate. GUtt01 (talk) 22:41, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete, use existing list article - Agree with Fox, per WP:FANCRUFT no need for individual articles per season with such detail. Existing list article serves purpose enough, anything more would be unsuitable. eeveeman (talk) 22:29, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete without merge and use the existing article - the additional details on each person is their personal bio unrelated to the show. If these people are notable, they have an article which covers it and this is a WP:CONTENTFORK, if they don't have an article, they aren't notable and this info is just not needed. Anything specific to the show can be added, but should be limited to 1-2 sentences, similar to how non-reality TV shows or films summarize a character. There is definitely no need for any "play-by-play" re-cap of what he did on the show. These articles are a plague which I've noticed for a while now, and I'm glad someone else brought it up.--Gonnym (talk) 10:59, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete, with or without merge - Gonnym is correct on the notability issue. The articles are also magnets for trash-tier and actually-deprecated gossip-level "sourcing" that is completely unsuitable for BLP content on Wikipedia, which all of these articles are. Strip out the gossip-mag content and there's really very little left - David Gerard (talk) 10:19, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete the articles' history, which may be plagued with tabloids and non-indep press releases, but keep the redirects so they go to season articles.

- I checked "Designers & Dragons" by Shannon Appelcline and that book mostly discusses Gary Gygax's unrealized plans to fully detail the city in publications. He does note that Jon Peterson's book "Playing at the World" (2012) discusses the city of Greyhawk, but does not say to what degree; unfortunately, I do not have that book yet (Christmas is coming though, so we will see). BOZ (talk) 19:35, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- If there's coverage in both books, I'd be happy to support keeping the article. If this is deleted, perhaps it could be later recreated with a bit less plot summary and a bit more analysis from secondary sources. Josh Milburn (talk) 07:48, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- Should I add the parts from "Designers" about how Gygax wanted to detail the city, or would that not be useful?

Agree with Josh Milburn (talk) that deleting all of the plot summary in Section 3 ("Summary of published information about the city") would strengthen the article.Guinness323 (talk) 19:12, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- I agree - very valuable. I do now think the article should be kept (but, as above, can't really "withdraw" this nomination now).

- Will see what I can do - it's been a busy day and I may have already used my quota of free time that the universe allows me. ;) Meanwhile, I forgot to point out earlier that the book has far greater detail about Castle Greyhawk as a topic than it does about the city. I can put that on my ever-expanding to-do list. BOZ (talk) 21:53, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect - I don't feel the current incarnation of the article is strong enough to be independent. Strip it of all unneeded info, and it'd be quite small. The topic should be explored more in the main article to see if this information can bolster it, and then be split out later if it proves to have too much weight.

- Selective Merge to World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting, where this world first appeared and which lends a better real-world frame for this topic. Fictional locations are rarely ever notable and tend to make for PLOT-y articles with trivial appearance info, as this one is a prime example. Almost all refs just retell the plot or fictional facts that have no relevance for the real-world (WP:NOT#PLOT).– sgeureka t•c 08:48, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per additional sourcing and comments of Boz above. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 20:35, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Merge to World of Greyhawk Fantasy Game Setting. Even with the work done by BOZ, only a scant few bits of the "Development" and "Publication History" sections are actually worth preserving, as being referenced by secondary sources. The vast majority of the article is completely unsourced plot detail, and even the two sections I mentioned are largely composed of simple lists of appearances that are similarly unsourced or sourced only to primary sources. When you take all of of that out of consideration, there is very little left, and not enough to sustain an independent article. The sourced information on the "real world" info should be retained somewhere, though, and I think Sgeureka's suggestion would make a better location for the merger than the main Greyhawk article.

Notability is not inherited, so people do not qualify to have Wikipedia articles just because they're alleged to have had an extramarital affair with somebody else who does have a Wikipedia article. But this makes no other claim that he's notable for other reasons independently of who he allegedly boinked, and the fact that you can jengastack a giant cluster reference bomb of nine or ten separate citations onto one sentence, verifying and reverifying and rereverifying that fact while adding nothing new, is not a notability booster.

Renominating since the last AfD was closed as no consensus nine months ago. This article concerns a short-lived campaign conducted by non-notable company AIM Tell-A-Vision to have the Nielsen Media Research Group change the way it counts Latino/Hispanic viewers. The sources included in the article are not sufficient to indicate lasting notability under WP:GNG or any other criteria.
Of the references listed in the article, the first is the initiative's own website. The second is a piece on AIM Tell-A-Vision's website, responding to a short blog/opinion piece in the New York Times ([16] since it's not linked in the article directly). Obviously the initiative's own websites are not independent, and the blog post is 200 words mostly about other things.
The third article is from HispanicTips.com, a defunct blog. The fourth, from Mediabuyerplanner.com, has an extremely narrow audience which hardly indicates notability. Truth, Lies, and Media is a defunct blog.
The articles listed at the "HCTV Links to Articles" archive are all mostly links to the initiative's own press releases and/or "press" from minor, non-notable publications. Broadcasting & Cable, like Mediabuyerplanner, is a narrow audience. It also reads like a slightly rewritten press release and shows no indication of fact-checking or actual journalism.
The only decent source listed is The Globe & Mail article, which is reasonably on-topic and fairly in-depth. But...one article from over a decade ago isn't enough to maintain an article on an initiative that changed nothing and largely petered out after two years.
I wasn't able to find any additional sources on a search (including newspapers.com). In the absence of any more reliable independent sources, I don't think we can keep this article. (Side note: creator Robgrose is likely the same Rob Rose who was the CEO of AIM TV and the creator of this "initiative" - take that as you will.) ♠PMC♠ (talk) 07:22, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. This was originally created as a stub in 2006, when our notability criteria where vastly weaker. Looking over the history, I see a couple of attempts to flesh this out, but they've all been by WP:SPA's and have all ended up being reverted as WP:COI, promotional, copyvio, and the like. I did some searching of my own and didn't find anything useful, but "Energy Institute" is a somewhat generic term, which complicates searching. I suspect that a national professional society with 20,000 members is likely to be notable, but the onus is on those editors who want to keep the article to find sources which meet WP:NCORP. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:51, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

- Strong Keep. Is this part of a plan to strip down to a stub and nomininate for deletion all the similarly sourced organization articles in Category:Engineering societies based in the United Kingdom and Category:Professional associations based in the United Kingdom not to mention those based in the US and other countries? If not there is no reason to single this one out for deletion. Such organizations are not covered in the mainstream press. We keep such organizations if they have an impact on their fields, and there are various ways of determining that. This one is on the UK's list of "Approved professional organisations and learned societies". It also publishes a scholarly journal that is held by 720 mostly academic libraries. Engineering and technology are underrepresented here compared to the sciences. There is no reason to compound the problem. StarryGrandma (talk) 01:45, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- I sympathize with your feelings about STEM topics (not to mention that I share your punch-card and RUNOFF experience). But, We keep such organizations if they have an impact on their fields isn't how this works. What we need is independent, reliable, secondary sources. I agree with you that we want to include organizations that have an impact on their fields. We measure that impact by the fact that sources have written about them.

- Elsevier! - a connection with the real world! CiteScores, Impact Factors - hey, it's Christmas!! An editorial board comprising actual people! connected with actual universities! The points in the earlier posts here, about WP:SPAs etc - and of course the article text - left me with the impression tht the whole article was spam, scam or even fraud (probably trawling for membership subscriptions from students in other countries with an uncertain grasp of English) - and wanted deleting without undue delay.
- Maybe not!
- Given the article has been here since 2006, and has made basically no progress, and is open to such severe criticisms, maybe what's wanted is communication? with those single-purpose contributors? with Elsevier? with "Editor Paul T. Williams University of Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom"? with the members of the Journal's editorial board?? - conveying some idea of our need for sources and of course, above all, neutral viewpoint!! Because yes, there's a real risk of our sourcing rules and reliability criteria screening out notable industry-specific material - systemically distorting our coverage, in conflict with Wikipedia's distinctive potential role in the print- and online-encyclopaedia ecosystem. But this article, as it has existed throughout its ten+ years, is a horror!
- The Journal is the kind of thing we'd accept as reliable without hesitation, in STEM articles generally. So for notability of the Institute, all it would take would be a "happy tenth birthday Energy Institute" note or squib in the Journal.

- Yep, it's easy to lose sight of the fact tht both references and evidence of notability don't have to be online.

- It is correct that sources don't need to be on-line. But, they do need to be WP:RELIABLE, WP:SECONDARY, and WP:INDEPENDENT. They also need to be specific. It's not enough to say, "There are sources that exist off-line". You have to say what they are. If there's a book, give the author and title, so somebody could go find it in a dead-trees library. And, while Journal of the Energy Institute may be notable (I have no idea if it is or not, but let's assume for the moment that it is), that doesn't make the Energy Institute notable; see WP:NOTINHERITED. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:36, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Notability means already well-known. We show this by finding reliable sources, but well-known is the key. Academic libraries are willing to pay the hefty library subscription rate for its journal. We can see that online through WorldCat. The Energy Institute is the organization does the assessment of British engineers in energy fields so they can be licensed and accredits the engineering courses they take. We can see that online at the Engineering Council's website.[1] StarryGrandma (talk) 15:44, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. The two earlier organizations that constituted it were the major national associations in their fields, and the combination continues this status. The Institute of Petroleum in particular was a world-famous organization in its field with international influence. Since this is the combination article for these also, there should be no problem about sourcing; I'll see what I can do. But it seems absurd for an encyclopedia to have notability rules that make it difficult to cover such organizations--it's should be part of the basic coverage, and their inclusion can be justified on the basic of the fundamental policies that WP is an encyclopedia and NOT INDISCRIMINATE over the notability guideline. The guidline is just an expansion of NOT INDISCRIMINATE, and major national organizations meet that fundamental qualification. DGG ( talk ) 19:02, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete does not pass the notability guidelines for actors.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:47, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep: obviously as I wrote the article I would like to see it remain. The actor has had two significant recurring roles in well-known TV series, both of which ran over the course of about a year. The recurring role in Major Crimes involved a prominent side storyline which involved main character Rusty and which fed into Rusty's love interest storyline. The actor has also appeared in several TV movies for Lifetime, including Manson's Lost Girls and Killer Vacation, and notable films such as Hard Sell and Endings, Beginnings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dflaw4 (talk • contribs) 03:47, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete since subject fails the WP:NACTOR criteria, which should be addressed specifically by editors who claim notability of the subject. Wikipedia is not a storage of all-encompassing information about anything. -The Gnome (talk) 08:30, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: In response to the question of lead/main roles in significant films/TV series (Criterion 1 of WP:NACTOR), while the actor has not starred in any television series, he has had two significant recurring guest roles in Bunheads (in fact, he was already listed on Wikipedia's page for Bunheads) and in Major Crimes. His role in Major Crimes involved a side-storyline that ran over the course of about a year, and which was important to the development of main character Rusty, as it led him into a relationship. The actor also appeared in Major Crimes' companion vlog that character Rusty creates and uploads to YouTube—few guest-stars were featured in this series of vlogs. These roles, therefore, were not mere guest appearances; they involved important ongoing storylines. The actor did star in a web series, which received awards. Does winning awards make the series significant? Not necessarily, but it certainly adds to its significance in the critical realm.
- As for films, the ones in which he has had lead or main roles include Battle for Skyark, which received mainly negative reviews from critics and viewers (there are about a dozen critic reviews via imdb.com). Does a negative response mean that it wasn't notable? I would argue no, unless notability is taken to mean quality, which I don't think it does. Killer Vacation and Manson's Lost Girls are lifetime movies, but I don't think this automatically rules them out, since lifetime movies have been in production for over 20 years and even very well known actors/actresses appear in them. With respect to Manson's Lost Girls in particular, I would argue that the actual subject matter (Charles Manson) lends itself to significance; indeed more than a dozen critic reviews can be found via imdb.com which discuss the way in which the movie portrays Manson and his followers. (And though it has not yet been released, the actor is to have a main role in Smiley Face Killers. Thanks to the fame of the main actor Crispin Glover and screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis, one would expect the film to be notable.) Other films the actor has had roles in, albeit not main roles, include Hard Sell and Endings, Beginnings, both of which are certainly notable (with their own Wikipedia pages, too).
- The WP:NACTOR guidelines provide three criteria, but do not specify whether all three must be met (that is, Criterion 1, Criterion 2 "and" Criterion 3) or whether only one of them must be met (that is, Criterion 1, Criterion 2 "or" Criterion 3). This is ambiguous and arguably only one must be met. But assuming that all three are meant to be met, with regard to Criterion 2 it is difficult to measure the popularity or the size of a fan base of an actor who isn't a major star. So it would be quite impossible to classify a fan base as "large" or not; it would be pure speculation.
- Criterion 3 is very subjective and, again, difficult to adequately address. There are many Wikipedia articles on entertainers who would be considered neither "unique" nor "prolific" nor "innovative", though certainly competent and hard-working in their fields. I believe the actor would fall into the "competent and hard-working" category, but again, there lies a great deal of subjectivity there.Dflaw4 (talk) 12:48, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- In other words, and by this I mean on the basis of your own words, criterion #1 is not met (since, as you said, "he has not starred in any television series"); criterion #2 is not met (since you find it "quite impossible to classify a fan base as 'large' or not"); and criterion #3 is not met either (because, as you said, it is "very subjective and, again, difficult to adequately address").
- Well, guess what, the reponse to all those objections is sourcing! Wikipedia is all about sources. If we have reliable, independent sources indicating that any of the three criteria is met, we have a claim on notability. We might even have an article.
- So, it's astounding that after describing how our subject does not satisfy any of WP:NACTOR criteria, you're suggesting to Keep the text on the basis of nothing really (except perhaps on the basis of personal preference). But that is not how Wikipedia works. This is not some exhaustive cinema directory nor a collection of randomly collected information. -The Gnome (talk) 15:38, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

- My apologies, I did not mean to make it seem as if I was voting again. Thanks for your correction. Dflaw4 (talk) 12:54, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
- Criterion 1 does not require the actor to have starred in any TV series, but to have had "significant" roles. Whether a role is "significant" or not is subjective. I outlined why I believe the actor has had "significant roles"; I certainly did not concede that Criterion 1 was not met. I only mentioned Criteria 2 and 3 in passing, as WP:NACTOR is ambiguous as to whether all three criteria must be met or only one. In fact, you say that a claim on notability would be made out if sources indicate "that any of the three criteria is met"; therefore, I take it that only one criterion must be made out. If you do not believe that the sources demonstrate the actor to have had "significant" roles in "notable" TV series, films and other productions, so be it.

- Comment with regard to Criterion 2 of WP:NACTOR: Though I'm sure this is not how a fan base/popularity should ordinarily be assessed for the purposes of this criterion, it is interesting to note that, from Dec. 19 to Dec. 27, the article has had 216 views, with an average of 24 views/day. While these numbers are certainly not huge, they are comparable to—and, in some instances, high than—articles which have been kept (I'm happy to list some of the articles I'm referring to). I'm interested to see if the numbers will continue to rise on Dec. 28. Dflaw4 (talk) 14:07, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

I couldn't find anything to verify this. Because the name is so generic, we need sources to tie together the name, location, founder and/or principal at least to even establish this is not a hoax. Further than that, going by the description, it doesn't seem to be community-managed, missionary schools might fall under private ownership in Nepal (strong hunch, but not sure), and so it should be required to meet WP:NORG too, in my opinion. But that would be a question for when it is shown to not be a hoax. Ok, it says "Father boarding" is its nickname, "Boarding" is a term reserved for "private, english-medium" in Nepal. So, it definitely ought to be required to meet NORG. Bringing this here, as the article could do with TNT anyway. Usedtobecool TALK ✨ 11:59, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

This surgical procedure appears to be the brain-child of surgeon Dr Iype Cherian, and there is limited coverage in reliable sources that aren't authored by him. There is no coverage in medical text-books. It is not sufficiently notable to warrant an article. Note that the word is also used in the context of ventriculo-cisternostomy developed by Arne Torkildsen which is covered at Ventriculostomy. Note also that article is the result of paid editing, and as such it lacks any critical commentary on the procedure. I doubt this can fixed by editing, due to the lack of independent sources. --Pontificalibus 16:04, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

- Comment This is tricky to evaluate for someone who is not conversant with the subject matter, so just some general impressions:
- - I don't think the provided sources necessarily show a problem with uptake. It's not straightforward to tell when a new concept has broken out of the group of its originators, but it appears to me that the spread of authors here is okay if still a little clannish. Same with cites for the original article [17]; some names pop up rather frequently but it's by no means just those.
- - Promotion and POV might be an issue to some extent. There's an apparently overlooked little sentence hiding in plain sight...
The retraction damage of orbitofrontal gyri is a small price to pay in bringing down intracranial pressure is what Dr Cherian feels about this.
... that kind of thing does not inspire confidence. There is an apparently good faith "Limitations" section, but I'm getting a "very carefully phrased" vibe from that. And the largely unsourced "Development" section also has a similar drift. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 18:34, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete as WP:NOTPROMOTION, article created by a paid (now banned for socking) editor that appears to be pushing a particular surgical technique, a quick gsearch brings up sites/papers by the one surgeon, Dr Cherian, as brought out by nominator, and just a warning to other editors, one of the gsearch pages sent me to a "your computer has a number of viruses" scam page that jammed my computer, a wikifirst for me (GGGGRRRRRR!!!!).

- Delete or WP:TNT. I was the original filer of the SPI referred to above. Some quick searching found enough sources (including, not for the squeamish, a YouTube video of the procedure being performed) to convince me that a reasonable article could be written about this. We've certainly got plenty of similar articles. But, the current version is so obviously a puff-piece for a particular practitioner, a total rewrite from scratch is the only possible way forward. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:49, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

I can not find any reliable sources that indicate that this battle ever happened as described, and i am inclined to believe that this is partially, if not fully, a hoax. The first and second source, "Russia in the Constitutional Revolution", yields no search results on Google, other than Wikipedia mirrors and a false positive where a book (Fragile Resistance: Social Transformation In Iran From 1500 To The Revolution) has a section about Russia's role in the Persian Constitutional Revolution. If these are the same source, then the WP article has the wrong year for the source (2008 for Wikipedia article's Russia's role in the Persian Constitutional Revolution vs 2019 for Book with Section about Russia's role in the Persian Constitutional Revolution). The third source, http://www.yale.edu/history/faculty/amanat.html , is simply a list of books by Abbas Amanat with minor biographical details. The Persian name, "نبرد ترکمن صحرا" does not appear in any of the Persian sources (sources 4, 5, 6 and 7). The fourth source is only used to support Turkmen presence in the Turkmen Sahra in the text, but not the existence of the battle itself. If Google Translate is correct, the fifth source talks about the reign of Mohammad Shah, but does not talk about a Turkmen migration to Bojnourd. The sixth source is rather unintelligible with Google Translate but as far as i can tell only contains a few trivial mentions of Turkmen but not anything about a battle in early 1911. The seventh source does not contain a single mention of Turkmen or 1911. Some Google Books searches seem to indicate that a battle between the Persian government and Turkmen did indeed happen in 1911, but it was late in the year (not March) and not in the Turkmen Sahra but it was in Esterabad. Also, the statement that this was "the last major battle of the Persian Constitutional Revolution" is patently untrue, even if this battle in March 1911 did actually happen. The Royalists weren't defeated until the Battle of Bagh-i-Shah on 27 September 1911.[1] If this article is indeed a hoax then perhaps the author should be banned. If this is all a misunderstanding and this battle is real or a good-faith translation of a hoax from another Free source, then i apologize to the creator but i would tell him to be more careful with what he uses as sources in the first case and properly attribute material in the second case.

- Keep but open a discussion about a move/rename. The concept is undoubtedly notable and covered by numerous RSs, see: [19], [20], [21], [22] just for a taste. However, the terminology used varies, including 'commuter alien' (or 'alien commuter'), and just 'commuter'. I'm not convinced that 'commuter worker' is sufficiently specific, since that is more or less synonymous with 'commuter. However, the article should absolutely be kept and a discussion about the correct name can then be had on the article talk page. Hugsyrup 12:06, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

These TV Serials and Films were the recipients of 2 National Awards and 38 State Awards. Their journey started from 2000 and are still actively working on TV Serials and Movies.

The result was no consensus. While there was a delete vote alongside two keeps, the delete was practically a WP:PERX and fails WP:ATA, and a second relist failed to generate any more votes, so I'm closing this as no consensus default to keep. (non-admin closure) ミラP 16:14, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a politician with no strong claim to passing WP:NPOL. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they have not yet won — the notability test at NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, so the fact that she's a candidate in a future gubernatorial primary is not a notability claim in and of itself. The only political office she has held is at the county council level, which is not an "inherently" notable level of political office — it's a level at which a person only gets into Wikipedia if they can show nationalizing coverage which demonstrates a reason why they could be considered much more notable than the norm. But this is referenced to a mix of primary sources (her council profile on the council's own self-published website, and two newspaper op-eds where she's the bylined author and not the subject) that aren't support for notability at all, glancing namechecks of her existence in articles about the deaths of other family members, and a small smattering of purely local coverage of the type that every local politician everywhere can always show, none of which is how you demonstrate that a county councillor is notable enough for inclusion in an international encyclopedia. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November 2020 if she wins the gubernatorial election, but nothing here is grounds for her to already have an article today.

- Speedy keep - Salt Lake County together with Salt Lake City form a major metropolitan area with two very reliable newspapers, The Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News. With about 10 articles referenced from those two sources, it's pretty obvious she's notable. Being Chairwoman of the County Council is likely a very big deal. Smallbones(smalltalk) 02:47, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- County councillors are not automatically accepted as notable just because they have local coverage in the local media. Every county councillor in every county always has that, so if the existence of some local media coverage were all it took to hand a local politician a GNG-based exemption from having to clear NPOL, then NPOL would literally never apply to anybody anymore because every local politician would always get that exemption. Rather, we have a longstanding consensus that politicians at the local level (municipal, county, school board, etc.) clear the notability bar only if their coverage expands far beyond where it's merely expected to exist, to the point that they have a credible claim to being much more nationally significant than most other county councillors.

- Keep per Smallbones. SL Tribune and Deseret News are regional media for the Mountain West states [23], not local, which gives their coverage sufficient weight to meet NBIO. ☆ Bri (talk) 15:28, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- The question of whether a media outlet is "local" or "regional", for the purposes of making a county councillor more special than other county councillors, is determined by its location of publication, not its distribution range. If a newspaper is published in Salt Lake City, then its coverage of a municipal politician in Salt Lake City is local coverage that falls below the bar — the fact that it might happen to have supplementary readership beyond Salt Lake City alone does not turn its local coverage into notability-making "regional" coverage that would make her more special than other county councillors.

- Comment, note I'm not arguing for either its inclusion or deletion, but to claim this is an "obscure" and non-notable region in Middle-earth is outrageous. It is described and covered in The Silmarillion, The Lost Tales/Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth in quite some detail, and as such cannot be treated with such wanton disregard. If you seek further convincing, it is listed in the Sindarin dictionary as well. If you haven't read any of the previously mentioned tomes, but have at least seen the latest films, you might recall that in the third of Peter Jackson's adaptations, one of the last scenes takes place at the Grey Havens, which is in fact located in Lindon.

Do you have a topographical qualification Paul? I shouldn't have to go through barony boundaries, natural boundaries and natural land ownership time and time again. Did you study geography? The map is pretty self explanatory when you overlay it. Especially since Glasgows shape hasn't changed in 100s of years. Please go and look around. Everything is as it was back in that map...apart from a few warehouses, houses and a motorway. The the main stuctures of Roads and Trainways are the same. Even the outline of the lands the people seem acceptable such as Craigton or Linhouse.
Thas old back structure and map you dispute IS Glasgow. You can go around any area of that map and compare those "Farms" to built up housing or communities, they still have the same labels. The difference being that they weren't savaged by motorways or industrialisation.
A neighbourhood or Farm had a shipyard or motorway builton it and it became "the Clyde shipyard" or "the motorway".
That is how it is in Scotland. Our traditions are everything and Glasgow has a resoundingly large proportion of heritage site and preserved tenement buildings. I don't know what its like in other cities or countries that constant regenerate or have new money - our city was established around the barony.
Ibrox was once a farm. Dumbreck was once a farm. Linthouse was once a farm. Cessnock was once a farm. Shieldhall was once a farm. Craigton was once a farm. Cardonald was once a farm. I am saying this in statements because the reductive way you appraise these leaves a lot to be desired. I shouldn't have to justify the natural boundary of a new motorway and how it will obviously bring back the previous Label after a 100 year merger into a burgh.
What are we going call both side of the motorway? Kinning Park part 1 and Kinning Park Part 2? Cmon guys.
I can surely tell you that Kinning Park isn't in the middle of the motorway.

I don't see any evidence anywhere the plot of land between the M8 is actually referred to as "Langshot" in modern times. SportingFlyer T·C 06:47, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Undecided. I added a couple of sources relating to the farm but I could only find one source where the name "Langshot" is used on its own and that appears to refer to the farm. However, local knowledge might indicate otherwise. Deb (talk) 10:21, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment At the risk of overstating this, I have also really tried to find evidence of anything being referred to as Langshot in modern times without success. The industrial estate between the motorway and railway probably should have been called Langshot if there was sufficient respect for local history, but it doesn't look like that happened. As I have said on the article talk, I went up and down the streets on StreetView but no local businesses use the name, and a nostalgic forum discussion on a very long tenement at that location never mentioned the term once even though most of the participants were former residents pre-motorway. Yes, most places in the city (and indeed every city) were named after older estates and farms which were swallowed up, and I think we can all agree that there was a Langshot Farm of some local prominence prior to the arrival of industry and housing, but that is all that the sources verify. Not every old name survived to be used in modern contexts, and the fact that nothing has been found by multiple editors in searches for this particular name in the 20th century, even in the residential context before its core became a road, indicates that it doesn't justify a separate article. The existing refs could be a useful addition to the Kinning Park article. But maybe something will be found in the coming days. Crowsus (talk) 11:11, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete as a place without legal recognition and not an OS settlement. The sources only appear to mention "Langshot Farm" and the fact that an industrial/housing scheme ended up there. It could possibly be mentioned (and redirected) to an article on its burgh but even that seems questionable since the sources are still about the farm rather than the area but its probably a reasonably search term so I'd be fine with that.

- Comment The author has now updated the article: they added four references to locations on Google Maps in the relevant area which currently have Langshot as part of their address. Having checked Maps as one of the first things I did yesterday after this article appeared and found no trace of the name, I'm 98% certain those addresses were amended today and have now been added to the article to support the argument. One of the businesses involved has a website with their address on it - listing it as Kinning Park. Therefore it seems very unlikely that they would use a different address on Maps to their website. As an experiment, I removed one of the more subtle Langshot additions and it was accepted as an edit with no questions asked so it is definitely something which could be done. If anyone has awareness of any tools to check when edits were made on Google Maps, please let me know so that I can check, or have a look yourself. Crowsus (talk) 23:57, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

So, Crowsus, you have went around changing details of the BID I am employed to? Which business? You have no right to change people's company's to try and force your own findings. No wonder it's not on the map. ^^^^ He has done the same thing with the historic area Kingston in the past - removing it from Google Maps. This area is called Langshot, such that the local use the term, theaps also supports the finding NHS as Glasgow has been established around farms. I will not have someone from Australia or India dictate what relevant when the labels of their land changes with the owner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Progress4weegies (talk • contribs) 12:22, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- My reply, although they can't respond as now blocked: First off, what is a BID and what is your commercial relationship to it in relation to Wikipedia, you have to declare all business interests which may influence editing, see WP:COI. I only removed the word Langshot from the address of one company (which it does not require, as it won't help anyone find the premises for reasons outlined above i.e nobody has ever heard of it) to satisfy myself from a technical perspective that you would have been able to do precisely the opposite earlier that day to try and influence this matter in your favour. The fact that, after I spotted the Langshot name in those company addresses having seeing none the previous day (and which other editors would surely also have pointed out when first trying to find this place had they seen it in addresses, but none did so) you then added those exact links onto the article as evidence of its common usage, then also specifically mentioned them in your edit summary as justification for attempting (again) to remove the AfD notice, is a clear indication, at least to me, that you have made these manipulations. Frustratingly I have been unable to find a function that shows when those edits were made, but there is no doubt in my mind that they happened between Wednesday evening 18/12/19 and Thursday afternoon 19/12/19, UK time. Lastly, FWIW I fully support the Kingston area's inclusion in the encyclopedia as can be seen in its talk page, although as I recall its article was fairly ropey in its quality and references when first created at the start of this year. I have absolutely not touched Google Maps in relation to that area or anywhere else other than the single one fully disclosed above. Maybe you're thinking of someone else, or maybe you're just inventing the whole thing as nobody seems to have thought of using that tactic except for you. It could also be pointed out that as the low level stuff can be edited by users, it falls into the same category as forums and Wikis in being a non-WP:RS when it comes to citation, so you're wasting your time. Crowsus (talk) 13:51, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete I can't even find evidence of existence of an area anyone would call "Langshot". The Google Map references are, in all likelihood, faked up, as even cursory background checks show:
- Claremont Centre: I found NO references to Claremont Centre that used "Langshot", other than this page. The firm's own website lists its address as "Kinning Park", not "Langshot"
- Clutha House: I found NO references to Clutha House that used "Langshot", other than this page and pages which provide direction (via Langshot Street) to Clutha House.
- Langshot Pet Park: This seems to be ENTIRELY made up, as I find no reference to its very existence other than -- you guessed it -- this page.

- Fairfield, Glasgow (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Stub of what is alleged to be an area of Glasgow. Coordinates point to the home of Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company for which an extensive article already exists. The ref provided explains a heritage project relating to the company's historic headquarters. I have spoken to the project staff and visited the building. Yes, before the shipbuilding, Fairfield was a country estate with mansion and farm outside the village of Govan. But it was then built on for industry and became very much part of Govan, and remains so today. Is it a real place of historical significance? Yes, certainly. Is it an identifiable residential neighbourhood, defined separately from the communities of Govan and Linthouse which would need its own Wiki article in addition to the aforementioned? No, based on all evidence I have seen. The creator asks what if the shipyard closed and the site was redeveloped, it would still be Fairfield so what then, and consulting the WP:CRYSTALBALL, the name might remain but developers might call it something else like Upper Clyde Urban Beauty Haven or some other nonsense, and we would be obliged to call a new article that, or more likely just add the info to Govan or Linthouse with redirects.

Redirect to Govan, the 1st ref only mentions Fairfield, the 2nd is just to a map and the 3rd is a primary source. There are mentions of Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in that article and there is also an article at Fairfield Offices. A Google Book search does return a few results for this area but they appear to be mainly talking about the company which we already have an article, therefore it doesn't appear this area is independently notable not being legally recognized on an OS settlement. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:32, 19 December 2019 (UTC)- Given as noted that it was a ward it might well qualify as being notable for being a formerly legally recognized place. However it has been noted that ward boundaries change frequently and this might be an exception to that. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:57, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect to Glasgow Govan (UK Parliament constituency). We
don'tshouldn't delete stuff on Wikipedia just because they no longer exist. The nom is to be applauded for physically checking on the ground but, for anyone who checks online, there is sufficient evidence online to demonstrate that Fairfield was a political ward in Glasgow (Fairfield (Ward 30)), and that it did once exist. See: here; here, here, here, and many other places (including 35 mentions in this PhD thesis). That said, I've do not know this part of the UK at all, unlike the nom, but looking at these old maps from 1885-1903 on the National archive of Scotland website, there seems to be no physical 'place' on the ground labelled as Fairfield. Thus a redirect to the parliamentary constituency which Fairfield was merged into seems more appropriate than deletion. I therefore don't think that redirecting to Govan is the right approach (and it's just possible that, with a lot of further research, a redirect to Glasgow Craigton (UK Parliament constituency) could prove to be a better target.) Note that Fairfield (UK Parliament constituency) already exists, but is the name of a ward in Liverpool - a very long way away!) Nick Moyes (talk) 20:48, 19 December 2019 (UTC) - Redirect to Govan Also see Moorepark, Glasgow, Sandyford, Glasgow, and other articles by this author.

- The question we need to address is whether it is actually "a place". That will determine the target of the redirect.Nick Moyes (talk) 22:10, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: I think Glasgow Govan (UK Parliament constituency) is a pretty good shout. I'll admit to ignorance of the Fairfield ward, which has some famous names as representatives and even an existing image on Commons; however, the ward map you kindly provided shows it covered a wide area, including several other neighbourhoods that developed subsequently, and the stub as created did not present as a historical place or a former ward but as a current neighbourhood, and as with the other nominated articles from the last 48 hours, the creator has unfortunately submitted an article with very little information, certainly in good faith, but this has required others to scramble about finding evidence to justify their existence or otherwise, when that should have been done before the article was published. Getting back to the point, I would suggest that Govan (ward) could also be a possible redirect option as this is the equivalent level of government covering the area, although this entity was only created in 2007. Aaarg I can't find any maps online to confirm where Craigton constituency ended and Govan constituency began in the relevant era, although my hunch would still be Govan covering it as the shipyard is pretty close to the centre of the place, and that's probably why a more identifiable Fairfield community didn't endure despite being the most famous local name: it was too close to the heart of Govan for most people to refer to the streets as anything else. Half a mile west and it might well have been a surviving suburb between Govan and Renfrew. Crowsus (talk) 23:32, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- All current wards of Glasgow have articles; could this be made into an article about the ward?

It's easy to see why people may mistakenly believe that this article should be kept since it is obviously well sourced and the general topic is notable, but having it as a standalone article (rather than as a subsection of Donald Trump or a subsection of the topics he is talking about) is not really encyclopedic. (And of course you can find a lot of news articles about Trump being dishonest, but that isn't enough to justify an article. Much has been said about 'Honest' Abe Lincoln but no one would suggest putting together an article Veracity of statements made by Abraham Lincoln.

Careful Google search shows no indication this is an actual neighborhood or conservation area.

I have been in this area several times in the past, walking and driving (slowly and badly, it was in my lesson route) and would have supported its inclusion if I had seen any local businesses, signs or anything called Weariston which would reinforce a usage locally, but didn't see anything. The houses possibly got referred to as that shortly after they were built (early 1930s I think) due to the farm being there beforehand, but I don't think that was ever anything official and it fell out of use long ago. The oldest local residents may recognise the name and it's maybe worthy of quick mention on the aforementioned articles, but nothing more than that IMO. Crowsus (talk) 14:27, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
