Cited source is primary. There's no indication of notability in line with WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG Viia o Lanti (talk) 10:39, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
The notability of this program relates to its use in computer-aided design and digital twins of large scale cryptoeconomic systems, including but not limited to the design of the Filecoin network's economic protocols as well as well design validation for past and upcoming Ethereum economic upgrades, including EIP 1559 and Ethereum 2.0: Beacon chain. It is clear that the above review is not familiar with this particular space. While a relative minority of the relevant code is public, but dynamical systems models in cadCAD are the standard for large scale cryptoeconomic systems in no small part due to Ethereum's influence over this space. While the knowledge about this tool and its use to design and monitor protocols controlling Billions of US Dollars worth of assets may be held by a relatively small number experts. Making this knowledge more widely available is a reason the cadCAD community has endeavored to add cadCAD to wikipedia. Its disappointing to see so much negative energy directed at this effort without doing the diligence. As I understand it notability is not strictly equal to legacy institutions. I reviewer interested in understand the notability is urged to reach out to someone from the Robust Incentives Group (see materials at https://github.com/ethereum/rig) at the Ethereum foundation, and/or the Economics team at the Filecoin Foundation (e.g. the researcher giving this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leJHrvz-YY8#t=12m36s) in order to understand the significance this "obscure little program" plays. Thanks for your consideration. Apologies if this note breaks with the standard form form wikipedia discussions; I am not a regular wikipedia contributor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7081:4F06:35A5:ED05:CB85:C23C:9D6B (talk) 04:22, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

"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.

Contested draftify, which has been moved between main and draft a couple of times, with no improvement. As per comments at Draft:Francisco Serra-Martins, the sources fail to demonstrate how Serra-Martins meets WP:GNG or WP:BIO. I found a decent source in News Australia but it's very brief in terms of coverage. I considered redirecting but the creator would obviously revert it. Also would struggle to think of a redirect location since this businessperson is allegedly involved with Dove Air and Sonder Design, both of which he has edited extensively himself under 'Franciscowashere' and edit warred over the COI tags.

- Keep This was an important part of the construction of the empire of Abd al-Mu'min, unifying North Africa. Poorly written and poorly sourced is not a reason to delete, but is a reason to improve. There are currently three "modern" sources cited in the article. Sure it could use a major rewrite, include dates, more context in the overall conflict between Almoravids and Almohads, and more citation to reliable sources; but all of that is fixable. The Wikipedia is a shared endeavour. --Bejnar (talk) 02:11, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- You have added two citations to single pages in books (I hope these are more than trivial mentions in a single paragraph on the relevant page). I assume that is because you have access to these, and should be able to show us (by directly improving the article) that these sources actually contain which is sufficient to write something encyclopedic. Otherwise, I'm not convinced that cite-bombing the first sentence is really helpful in improving the article. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:19, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- They are, respectively, a non-trival single paragraph and a non-trivial two paragraphs. You indicated that there was a problem with verification, and lack of modern sources. The history of medieval North Africa is not my area of expertise, but I will endeavour to search further in the periodical literature for more detailed discussions. Again, I do not believe that adequate pre-searching had been done prior to listing this Afd. Also, this Afd is likely to be premature, as a major treatise on Abd al-Mu'min by Maribel Fierro is due to be published next month (Fierro, Maribel (2021). 'Abd al-Mu'min: Mahdism and Caliphate in the Islamic West. Oneworld Academic (distributed by Simon & Schuster in U.S.). ISBN 978-1-85168-428-1.), which will undoubtedly cover this campaign. Maribel Fierro is Research Professor at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas in Madrid. Based on modern sources, I have rewritten the first (now two) paragraph of text. Like I said this is a cooperative effort, go out and read the available sources and rewrite and re-cite what is necessary to improve this article. --Bejnar (talk) 01:50, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. I agree about the addition of citations to the lead sentence only. The sourced content must be added to the narrative and cited there. In fact, there should never be any citations in the lead because it is meant to summarise the narrative where all citations belong, so this needs attention.

The few sources in the article are non-independent or do not offer significant coverage. Yet, the article was accepted at AfC, but I'm sceptical about the subject's notability. They are publicly traded since this summer but, as WP:LISTED specifies, that does not make a company notable in itself. I am yet to see the level of coverage required for WP:GNG/WP:NCORP.

- Delete: Simply being listed on an SME index is not a claim to notability and, while I am seeing passing mentions relative to financial deals in which they are involved and in respect of their listing/share price, these fall short of the substantial 3rd party coverage about the company itself which is needed for WP:NCORP.

WP:BLP of a government bureaucrat, not properly sourced as the subject of sufficient reliable source coverage to clear our inclusion standards. The notability claim here is essentially that he exists as a person with a job -- but the job in question is not an WP:NPOL-passing office that automatically guarantees an article, it's an appointed bureaucratic role where he would have to pass WP:GNG on the sourcing. However, three of the five footnotes here are primary source press releases from the government or his prior employer, which are not notability-assisting sources. And as for the two that do come from real media, one of them comes from a suburban community hyperlocal rather than a major newspaper, and both of them are being used solely to support background trivia on his family life and prior career rather than any potentially notability-building content about his work in the role that's purportedly his notability claim. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have quite a bit more than just two hits of coverage in real media. Bearcat (talk) 20:46, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. Essentially, the arguments for keeping (there is sufficient coverage to write an article) or deleting (the coverage only amounts to trivial passing mentions and can't be used to write anything of substance) are of about equal stature to each other and cancel each other out. For what it's worth, I did my own search for sources (in the hope I could break the logjam by !voting myself) and came away without any strong view one way or the other. So I think for now, No Consensus is the best option.

- Keep I'll write what I wrote on the talk page:
- The argument is made that she fails WP:NPOL because she was unelected. I believe you can still meet the notability criteria with significant media coverage, even if unelected.
- It is also argued that all references being about the election or post-election process cause the article to fail WP:GNG.
- My first reason being I disagree that all articles are about the election process. There is a section on her personal life which refers to her attempts at stand up comedy and multiple pieces on her children’s allergies, (second article) for example.
- My second reason is she is a political candidate who has coverage consistently which is more than a trivial mentions.

- New Zealand's national news station 1 News covered Ohariu and deemed her worthy of interviewing alongside the National, Labour, and New Zealand First candidates. This excludes the 6/10 other candidates running in Ohariu in 2020. It can be found here
- I also want to add The Opportunities Party specifically poured resources into her campaign as they saw it as the only seat they can win, (article). She has won third place in Ohariu twice, beating the Green Party, which was a surprise for many given how much larger the Green Party (226,757 votes in 2020) is to The Opportunities Party. (43,449 votes in 2020).
- Most local political candidates in New Zealand, including most of her competitors, only have trivial mentions, or barely any mentions about them at all, but she has a consistent pattern of being well-covered both about her political campaign but also events in her private life, and likely will continue to if she runs again, so I believe it displays notability.
- Because of these reasons, I'd say I object to deletion. Nexus000 (talk) 08:51, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
DeleteFails general notability. The articles given are typical of interesting failed MP campaigns. The allergy and wheelchair story are trivial mentions eg "When Jean-Pierre Hammond’s daughter, Jessica Hammond, found out her 82-year-old father, who uses a wheelchair and lives in a rest home hospital, had been sold a treadmill that retails for more than $2000, she was outraged."[3] Dushan Jugum (talk) 06:09, 23 June 2021 (UTC)- Comment If this page was set for deletion after another AfD in March this year why are we still debating it?

- The first discussion was over a different person who merely happened to have the same name, so once it was deleted this person got moved to the current title since it was no longer necessary to disambiguate her. Bearcat (talk) 15:18, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Dushan added "Removed my delete vote. Regardless of nit picking, Wikipedia is better with this article." to the edit summary when removing his delete vote. Nexus000 (talk) 21:59, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. The existence of some campaign coverage is not in and of itself a reason to deem a candidate as passing WP:GNG in lieu of having to pass WP:NPOL — every candidate in every election everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, so if that were how it worked then every candidate would pass GNG and NPOL itself would be meaningless. Rather, to get a candidate treated as a special case, she needs to pass one of two other tests: either (a) you can demonstrate that she already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten her an article anyway (e.g. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) you can demonstrate a credible reason why her candidacy should be treated as much, much more special than everybody else's candidacies, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance (e.g. Christine O'Donnell). Neither of those are in evidence here. GNG is not just "count the footnotes and keep anybody who happens to pass an arbitrary number" — GNG tests for a variety of other factors, including whether the context of what the person is getting covered for would be expected to get them into an encyclopedia or not. Bearcat (talk) 15:18, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Delete I'm not convinced any of the coverage demonstrated above actually demonstrates notability - she was a failed candidate and the media reports reflect that, and she's not otherwise notable. SportingFlyer T·C 21:14, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - Seems like plenty of independent coverage to me. None of the sources seemed particularly deep, but are otherwise substantive, independent, and focused on Hammond's actions. I didn't click through all of the sources; are any of them full, dedicated profiles of her campaign(s)? Suriname0 (talk) 03:30, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- I could not find any, but then I would expect anyone running for MP would have a decent bio written somewhere, maybe a local paper. It would not take much to change my mind from delete. Dushan Jugum (talk) 03:34, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- It is very rare for us to keep articles on failed candidates. We typically discount any articles written about campaigns as coverage that anyone would get, i.e. on NOTNEWS grounds. It's not impossible, but you have to show coverage above and beyond a normal campaign. Hammond is very far away from that threshold at the moment. SportingFlyer T·C 12:28, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

- Weak Delete although she's close to meeting GNG as an activist, I don't quite think she's there yet. The bulk of GNG is NOTNEWS/ONEEVENT territory in that it stemmed from her failed candidacy, and consensus has been that coverage around the campaigns isn't suitable if they were not otherwise notable. Star Mississippi 19:05, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Weak Delete The subject fails WP:NPOL as a candidate. The subject is featured in several articles about her comedy, playwriting, and (to a degree) her activism. What we have is an interesting person who is mentioned with some regularity by New Zealand press, does not pass any SNG, and an article that focuses primarily about her failed political campaigns. --Enos733 (talk) 17:31, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete She is not a politican and doesn't make WP:NPOL so that is out. I don't see the lady as an activist in the tradional sense, suffering for her craft, e.g. where is the coverage when the elections are not being held, or she going around polling. There is a lot of PR in the list above, typical of somebody who has been selected, is on the election list and needs to stay relevant, so there is a significant PR spend to keep them in the news. And obviously stay relevent. So she is not politician yet, or an activist in the true sense. She is also a playwright. Where is the plays, and where is the reviews? No mention in the article. In the first six references, what coverage is there, is set piece PR, profiles and interviews. If she gets elected, she will get an article, but not now. scope_creepTalk 13:15, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Unsourced WP:OR.The article is loaded with statistical trivia, such as their age at start of office, length of term, and current age, all in years and days. There is also a countdown section for 'Days until retirement' for xx,xxx thousands of days they potentially have left in office.
Doesn't even match the entries at Featured List quality List of current senators of Canada (94 Senators and 11 vacancies vs 77 entries in this article), and has been this way for years (ex. Margaret Dawn Anderson, appointed in 2018, is missing). Was proposed for merging, but nearly two years later, nothing has actually been merged from this article, so it's a valid AfD candidate.

- It's not worded well, but the distinction is not actually federal systems, it's members of parliaments, which by definition means bodies with legislative power.

Missed that a previous PROD had already occurred. So the back story: This article was PROD'd in 2016, which was removed on grounds that instead a merger discussion was happening at Talk:List_of_Ubisoft_games#Merge. That elicited a single oppose on the grounds that a non-notable topic should just be deleted, not merged. So the PROD->Merge fizzled.
If you go searching, you're going to find three sets of sporadic coverage. It's announcement at E3, that it was apparently cancelled about a year later, and random "Ubisoft renewed it's trademarks." There's no significant in-depth coverage of the game though, and since it's apparent cancellation, Ubisoft does not appear to have made any announcements or statements, simply renewed their trademarks routinely.
With nothing else to say, I believe this cancelled game fails to be notable. -- ferret (talk) 17:22, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Trivial cross-categorisation ("age/age at death" and "Academy Award winner/nominee") which is also statistical trivia. Unsourced WP:OR. The article is a deeply confusing series of tables and chronologies of the oldest and earliest living winners or nominees of "Academy Award X", and is a trivia bonanza.

- Delete. It might be a reasonable cross-categorization if the list reported the ages at which the people were nominated or won, but it's based on their current age. Longevity and film-making are unrelated topics, and this is clearly a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. I'm sure a lot of work went into this, but it's not notable and probably original research. pburka (talk) 17:32, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Does he meet WP:ENTERTAINER? Not in being a sometime-wrestler for two minor promotions, not even close. Does he meet the GNG? No. There you have it."

- Comment - I know about as little about this topic as possible, and I'll disclose that my personal opinion of "wrestling" is pretty low. That said, if this topic has not acomplished anything notable, why do we have a farily in-depth article regarding the "championship" the topic won? Why do we seem to have articles on the great majority of individuals who have won this championship? Do we have a walled-garden problem here?

Trailed from the AFD of Brighten A Day, Love For Our Elders appears to be suffering from similar problem - lack of sustained coverage. Most of its coverage are concentrated in the year 2013 only.

- Delete The word "featured in ..." in the press section actually means, mentioned by, including articles with such titles as "31 Ways to Give Back This Holiday..." or ". "50 Ways to Have as Much Fun as ever" or "Five ways your small business can..." Any more substantial coverage is tabloid or promotional , though it's hard to tell promotional from real in this sort of subject. We all immediately recognize an attempted adverisement for a businees; it takes a little detachment to do it for a charity--which is why most of our articles on charities--even notable charities-- are not quite NPOV.

The subject is described as a serial entrepreneur, but he hasn't founded anything other than Love For Our Elders, which is nominated by me for deletion. Nothing significant is found to be done by him nor the coverage are sufficient to consider him notable. The subject's notability is highly if not completely dependent on Love For Our Elders.

- As Roman Spa said, both myself and user DGG misread social as serial, perhaps due to priming. But still, although this is a nice young man with good intentions, he is far from notable.

Social entrepreneur is different than serial, and he is the former. Fairly easy to find other significant sources, like Good Day LA and CNN, and absence on the page doesn't detract from notability.

This was discussed at an AfD 5 years ago, but I think it's time to revisit that discussion. After looking for sources I don't think it'll be possible to expand this beyond a dictionary definition. There are plenty of sources for uterine atony and some for gastrointestinal atony but none for atony as a topic in its own right. Happy to be shown otherwise.

- Keep There's no need for another discussion because AFD is not cleanup. This is clearly a significant medical matter and, as it affects a variety of organs in a notable way, it's a reasonable general topic per WP:BROAD. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:42, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Responding just to say as best I can tell the general topic is hypotonia. I don't think writing a broad encyclopedia article on atony would be possible. There just aren't any sources, since the medical establishment doesn't seem to consider it a phenomenon in its own right. Ajpolino (talk) 17:14, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hypotonia affects the entire body whereas atony commonly refers to a particular organ such as the bladder. Medicine is complex and so there is naturally much to say and explain. The encyclopedia is not improved by arbitrary excision of small pieces purely because they are small. That would be mutilation. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉(talk) 19:17, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

- Keep Agree with Andrew's reasoning, and in addition, atony is indeed a medical condition that exists in its own right, thereby passing WP:NOTE, WP:ENCYCLOPEDIC, and WP:CAT. I added one quick source to the original page, but I'm sure there are others in the medical literature. -Tiredmeliorist (talk) 16:06, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Just a note, I don't think atony is a medical condition in its own right. Or at least I can't find any sources discussing it as such. Can you? If someone had a condition where their muscles had no strength (as the dictionary you linked suggests) we would call that Flaccid paralysis. The more general phenomenon is Hypotonia. Atony isn't really a thing to describe. It's just a word that means "without tone". Ajpolino (talk) 17:10, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

- Convert to dab or set index page since that's what it basically is: dictionary definition followed by a list of applicable topics (Hypotonia, Muscle weakness, list of organic atonies).

- Comment Here's an idea, Andrew Davidson brought my attention to Glossary of medicine at another AfD. Perhaps merging this into Glossary of medicine would be a better outcome? For the folks who have suggested this could instead be expanded into a freestanding article, can you find any sources that consider "Atony" a topic in its own right (i.e. they're not just using it as a word to describe uterine atony, gastrointestinal atony, et al.)? I'm not asking you to do my job for me; I've looked and I can't find anything. If no one else can turn up anything, maybe we should consider the glossary merge?

No notability beyond being one of the survivors of the Titanic, and apparently insisting that her dog be saved along with her. While it is an interesting tidbit, there are no reliable sources that establish any notability, and the subject does not pass WP:NBIO. AryKun (talk) 09:44, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete, since I've been unable to make out any other conceivable claim to notability she might have, and what's there is obviously not enough.

- The references aren't there to support an article, and idea of being nominated as against winning, has never held sway in the particular industry in the subject is in. You see it with bands and actors all the time, putting up nomininated, nominated and so on, but the industry itself doesn't give it relevance, and we shouldn't either. The Utah Museum event was a collaborative effort with six others, again showing he doesn't have enough standalone weight. He's had quite a long career, and you would expect something to immediately stand out, but it isn't there. It tenuous. It would be ideal, if the comic was notable, to get rid and rewrite. scope_creepTalk 12:08, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete the current sourcing is terrible: e.g. "Cali Claptrap: Integral Conversations (Podcast)". It is also a patchwork of being shortlisted for a minor award, or appearing in an obscure comics magazine, or the aforementioned Cali Calptrap podcast. We need real coverage to prove notability.

- Keep With all due respect, FormalDude, while the sources are thin, where -- other than channel magazines -- would one find news for SIP-trunking and telephony providers? I presume your main issue with this entry would be that one of the company execs logged in and significantly edited an existing article; however, there have been other contributors, and NuWave is known within the telecom industry (see this article about a large Australian telco rolling out a service, where NuWave Communications is named as an example of an established player and first-wave partner in said service, [1] sixth paragraph). I get it. Telephony/UC is really unsexy, but that doesn't mean telco trades aren't a legitimate source. Will we also be turfing Verizon? Deutsche Telekom? RingCentral? Obviously the exec who edited his own company's Wikipedia entry should have followed protocol and noted his COI, so I propose that he be contacted and asked to note his connection to the company. But let's not pretend legitimate telecom trade rags aren't real sources (again, no normal news outlet cares about SIP-trunking; that's too boring even for regular tech rags!).

A PROD was denied earlier without explanation, though a faculty page was added--well, that's not enough. NPROF says notability can come from a named chair at a major institution, but there is no doubt that any school in the Anglo world will claim to be major one way or another (shoutout to my homeboy who is a named chair at a university slightly less mediocre than mine), and there is nothing here to suggest the chair is notable--whoever Herbert S. Lamb was, he's not notable, and he's not even mentioned on Dalhousie University. Besides that, it's just another academic CV (written in precisely that style) that's been here for a decade, with no evidence that the person ever had an impact or published/researched something that was noticed by critics.

- Comment. It doesn't matter whether the namesake of a named chair is notable. The reason holding such a position qualifies for NPROF C5 is because it demonstrates the university has deemed the recipient highly distinguished among his peers. Whether this reliably corresponds to externally-recognized academic prestige is a matter of discussion for the NPROF talk page, but the guideline as it currently stands indicates he is notable enough for a biography. JoelleJay (talk) 03:43, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- And Dalhousie is definitely a "major university"--in fact, any one of these criteria would probably qualify it: in the top 20 research universities in Canada (and a member of the U15), 200 years old, has almost 20k students, has a medical school. JoelleJay (talk) 03:56, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

- I never said I agreed with the reasoning behind C5 (almost more math profs at my university hold named or distinguished professorships than assistant, associate, and full profs combined...) or what constitutes a "major university".

- Keep. I have the impression that business schools in particular have almost as many named chairs as law schools, out of proportion to the distinction of some of their holders, but in this case he also has heavily cited papers and an editor-in-chief position at a journal notable enough to have an article here. Unless we're going to deny the whole premise of having a separate notability criterion for professors, he easily passes multiple criteria. And the nomination statement more than hints at snobbiness rather than at being grounded in policy. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:06, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Much like Jones (third baseman) and that AFD, this article fails WP:GNG. There is no WP:SIGCOV of him. There are few mentions outside of baseball statistical sites. All coverage from newspapers is routine. Therapyisgood (talk) 01:50, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

- Comment:
Especially with their comment of "Let the shitshow begin", I'm pretty sure the nominator is just trying to stir the pot with this nomination.That said, while the subject does pass WP:NBASEBALL having played in the Players' League, the subject only appeared for 3 innings in a single game, which definitely skirts by the guideline. The article's successful FA nomination page may be of value to some participants. Curbon7 (talk) 02:12, 20 October 2021 (UTC)- @Curbon7: I have removed that comment, that was in poor taste. What I was referring to was nominating something that's a featured article for deletion would cause some heads to explode. That's it. Therapyisgood (talk) 02:27, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Keep.. since it's a featured article and in pretty good shape there is no reason to delete this.. Nominator is clearly trying to make some sort of point with this nomination. Spanneraol (talk) 02:19, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Spanneraol: What is your policy reason how this passes WP:SIGCOV or the GNG? "Featured article" isn't a great reason to keep. Therapyisgood (talk) 02:25, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- It is well written and covers the subject in significant fashion. Passed NSPORTS and GNG. By the way, editing your own comments from your nomination after others have commented on them is bad form. Spanneraol (talk) 02:29, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

DeleteI find it difficult to see any argument for passing GNG. There’s no significant coverage - all the references are in passing. And why wouldn’t they be? 3 innings in his sole career game - never heard of before or since!! (And in a league that lasted one season) This has got to be the definition of obscurity. It’s not a bio. It’s an article about an obscure occurrence over a few hours on July 12, 1890 and nothing is known about Lewis except for those few hours. I first noticed this article when it was on the main page and I noticed I couldn’t tell why it was notable, or even what it was really about, from the lead. I opened up a thread on the talk page (Talk:Lewis (baseball)#The Lead) and proposed, as best I could, an amendment to try to rectify this, which I implemented. As can be seen from that thread there’s some bafflement from editors about it’s notability. As an aside, I really don’t know how it got to be an FA, especially with the lead as it originally was. There’s plenty of problems with the article still (eg Background section). It’s an obscure topic written obscurely. DeCausa (talk) 10:10, 20 October 2021 (UTC)- Merge to 1890 Buffalo Bisons season per Qwaiiplayer. That seems to be the appropriate home for it. DeCausa (talk) 07:11, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

- Keep the article per Spanneraol and close the case which is a poor advert for the AFD process. I think a sysop should consider the nominator's conduct. I would have no objection to a fresh nomination providing it is presented objectively, in the normal way, by an editor who respects the process. No Great Shaker (talk) 19:18, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to 1890 Buffalo Bisons season. After some deliberation and research, I think this topic is better covered in the article about the sports team rather than the person. While there's plenty of routine coverage about the game where Lewis gave up 20 earned runs, there's nothing about the player himself other than that he was born in Brooklyn and was a bad pitcher. There's also shockingly little non-routine (i.e. after June 1890) coverage of the game outside of blogs and databases. He has a brief mention in Connie Mack and the Early Years of Baseball (2007), but I couldn't verify how much was in The Players League: History, Clubs, Ballplayers and Statistics (2014) or Brooklyn!: An Illustrated History (1996) (I might stop by a different library to check before this AfD closes). I was disappointed to not find any mention whatsoever in The seasons of Buffalo baseball 1857-2020 (2020), even in the section on the 1890 Player's League Bisons. Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that WP:NBASEBALL still requires subjects to meet GNG, and I cannot find enough significant, non-routine coverage on this player to justify a stand alone article. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 21:54, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Slight correction with your last sentence; it's not that the criteria also needs WP:GNG to be met (as that would make SNGs redundant), it's that SNGs give the presumption of notability, but if a subject barely passes an SNG by playing just a few innings a single game, then we cannot presume that sources exist. Curbon7 (talk) 00:15, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Qwaiiplayer: I'd be interested to see if you can turn up anything. I can tell you as the person who wrote this article that there is no mention of Lewis as far as I know in Brooklyn!: An Illustrated History (that I believe was used to reference that the park was in Brooklyn). I remember he has a mention in The Great Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Major League Baseball, p. 977, but that is not part of the preview. He is mentioned with a biography in The Players League: History, Clubs, Ballplayers and Statistics too (that included some speculation on why he wasn't named). Those are two biographies. I wish he had more sources covering him, I really do. But it is what it is, I guess. So far no one of the "merges" has really dug deep into the sources except you, will these additional resources change your mind? Therapyisgood (talk) 21:24, 21 October 2021 (UTC) Addendum: He is also mentioned in The Rank and File of 19th Century Major League Baseball Biographies of 1,084 Players, Owners, Managers and Umpires on page 53, but that is also by same author as The Great Encyclopedia. Therapyisgood (talk) 21:33, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Therapyisgood: I'll see if I (or another editor) can look into the sources you suggested. Personally I would like to preserve this article as it's a fascinating piece of baseball trivia, but without significant coverage I can't find a policy justification for it. As others have said, this is a borderline case either way so a few sources can definitely change my mind. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 21:40, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

- Merge to 1890 Buffalo Bisons season. Not only Lewis's "exploits", but also the background section would benefit the season article. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:48, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- Keep as a spurious, trollish nomination (removing snide comments about shitshows doesn't take them back). I've discussed before the question of borderline notable articles that have passed quality assessment processes, and I don't consider this article to be one of the edge cases that are inappropriate for inclusion at any status. This article is an unusual example of the borderlands of SNGs -- there are a few others, but not many quite as striking for the sports SNGs specifically. It ultimately clusters with other articles that have managed to find enough about a subject to write on it at decent length in contextually reasonable depth, which by definition are articles on which there is enough to justify inclusion barring extenuating circumstances; the purpose, as I outlined at the Moments AfD, of notability guidelines is to say whether a subject probably has enough on it to justify a quality article, not an entirely orthogonal standard intended to admit and exclude capriciously.

- To the editors who were put-off by the "shitshow" comment, I believe it can be excused: the same editor who spent hours of time to bring the article to FA status, then nominated it as a FAC & had it pass the review, is the same editor who nominated it for deletion a little over a year later & called it a "shitshow." Seems to be a self-deprecating comment rather than trolling. Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 20:57, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

- Redirect/merge If someone played a third of one game and no one bothered to even record his first name, there's inherently a lack of notability. Zero sources in the article are significant coverage about Lewis in particular, utterly failing GNG and any "presumption" from NSPORT, but are rather routine coverage of the game itself and database entries that make this a WP:REFBOMB. The concept that playing a single game means automatic notability – significant coverage be damned – is misguided and antithetical to encyclopedic standards. While playing in Major League Baseball today may give a presumption of coverage, it's intellectually lazy to equate that level of skill and experience to an amateur who stood in once in 1885, and NBASE is irrelevant. "Well-written" is not a reason to keep, when the content is about the procedings of a single game, not a person. "Well-sourced" is complete bollocks, when those sources are not remotely substantively about this person. Reywas92Talk 02:36, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Merge with 1890 Buffalo Bisons season per WP:Preserve (it's still a FA and the current revision is valuable enough not to be thrown away). His only claim to notability is his bad performance, and that wouldn't be out of place in the merge target instead of here. Much of the article deals with the context and not Lewis himself, and much of what is actually said of the player relies on his database entry as its source. Non-routine significant coverage is thus lacking. Avilich (talk) 03:17, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. Lewis is a well-written, informative article of FA standard. The proposed merge target 1890 Buffalo Bisons season has multiple issues, the most serious being that it fails WP:V and is otherwise a collection of statistics that mean little if anything to people who are unfamiliar with baseball. As other editors above, including Pawnkingthree and Andrew, have said, this nomination is a WP:POINT challenged by WP:IAR and WP:DELAFD. And it is now proposed that Lewis is merged into something that should itself be brought to AFD for breach of policy. No Great Shaker (talk) 09:31, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- I have 2 questions for you. Where in policy is it established that the quality or otherwise of the writing in an article is relevant to its existence? While the WP:POINTiness of your tagging of 1890 Buffalo Bisons season is obvious, what is the POINT that the nominator is trying to make by starting this AfD? DeCausa (talk) 10:10, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- The now-deleted remark by the nominator was obviously a point of some kind that showed a complete lack of due respect for the AFD process and probably intended as an insult to anyone who might disagree with them by wishing to keep the article. Your question about policy is irrelevant. I should have said above that to suggest merger of an FA into an article with multiple issues is a breach of WP:COMMONSENSE, which must always be used in AFD cases. You apparently don't like me tagging the target article – is that because I am wrong about WP:V and WP:NOSTATS or is it just that you don't like it because it harms your merger argument? No Great Shaker (talk) 11:10, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- I was simply struck by the irony of your tagging. Even if I shared your view of that article I wouldn’t have tagged it having just opposed the merge and raised WP:POINT. But that’s just me. I’m still unclear why WP:POINT applied to the
nominativenominator. I believe they said the “shitshow” reference was to the hostility they expected for nominating an FA. And in fact that’s what I assumed they meant before they explained it. I genuinely don’t understand why some people seem to think it’s something else. DeCausa (talk) 11:27, 23 October 2021 (UTC)- No irony intended. It makes sense to check the suitability of the target article when a merger is proposed and this one has issues that needed to be tagged, so I tagged them in the same way as I would for any article I read. All editors have a responsibility, regardless of circumstances like an AFD, to try and improve content. If an article has issues, they must be raised and hopefully resolved. I don't know anything about baseball so I can't resolve those issues personally but at least I have raised awareness.
- The "shitshow" reference did indeed anticipate opposition, perhaps even hostility, and I believe it was stated in an attempt to deter opposition as many editors who use AFD will shy away from a case if they expect abuse. As I said in my first comment, the case should have been closed because of the lack of due respect shown for the process with a blatant attempt to deter participation – equally, though, I did add that I would have no objection to a fresh proposal being raised by an editor who does respect the process.

- @Rlendog: - Yes. Tropical Storm Erick (2007) was merged, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tropical Depression Ten (2005) is another merge (TFA 2018). PaX was TFA in 2004, was delisted at FAR in 2007, and deleted earlier this year. Tropical Storm Erick was never TFA, but it's not out of the question for FAs to be merged. Hog Farm Talk 18:07, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- NBASEBALL is a ridiculous point. Someone who played in Major League Baseball today, or even somewhat more recently than 1890, is a highly covered and paid professional who had the talent to work their way there through college and minor league playing, giving rise to there presumably being significant coverage available. This is some random walk-on in the early very days who threw for three innings, and the "presumption" of notability from NBASE is easily rebutted by the fact that not a single source here is significant coverage about the individual and his first name wasn't even recorded.Reywas92Talk 17:36, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- By the way, do we have any precedent for deleting an article that had been Today's featured article? Rlendog (talk) 17:49, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Keep- This article differs from Jones (third baseman) and others like it in that this player's performance was so poor that the newspapers of the day specifically commented on it beyond the usual reporting of statistics, provided at least some biographical information, and later sources mention that finding out more is likely (and mercifully) impossible. This is coverage beyond statistics provided out of sense of completionism, and is evidence of actual notability. So if anyone were to try to use the likely "keep" result here to try and bestow notability on all single-game-first-name-unknown players they would not succeed because it isn't the same thing at all.

- Merge to 1890 Buffalo Bisons season. Perhaps some dusty archives will be found one day that give us more information on this guy, but as is, this is basically a funny answer to a pub trivia game. A bad record itself isn't innately notable and I don't believe significant coverage is presented as needed in the article. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 17:59, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- Leaning merge to the season article. I'd really like to see this kept, but it looks like the subject is largely unknown and isn't discussed in-depth anywhere, really. As an aside: The statement Lewis is not listed as having played in any other major or minor-league games in the article is kinda spurious, as even if he had played in other major or minor league games, the lack of a known identity would prevent the connection from ever being made Hog Farm Talk 03:49, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

- Merge, though the research seems to have been maximal, this is a clear non-topic for an article per User:Reywas92.
