The result was delete as there is no indication anyone wants to work on this in draft space, so without that it's just kicking it six months down the road. If someone wants it, no need to go through Refund, happy to provide. Star Mississippi 01:53, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Fearon is an un-notable criminal who had some short-lived notoriety for his involvement in the incident with Tony Martin (farmer) , per WP:BLP1E he does not need his own article. The fact we have 'Bleak House Burglary' and 'Subsequent Events' belies that he's only really known for one thing.
The Martin article contains sufficient information about Fearon. That article should possibly be changed to be about the event, rather than Martin, but I think this can be removed regardless. JeffUK (talk) 21:18, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

As a casual user of this site, I don't see why a page like this should be deleted. Its seems to be motivated by bias.

- Delete. As nom has mentioned, anything relevant is already written or linked at the Tony Martin page. I do tend to agree all this material would be better served (if at all) as an event page, but IMHO this tragedy is unfortunately routine crime coverage which happened fifteen years ago and has no sustained coverage or long term resonance. The other article is not now up for discussion. This one is and should be deleted. BusterD (talk) 19:27, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

A cancelled mobile game, planned to be launched only in South Korea, that had only a 4-day closed beta test (CBT). Does not meet GNG as most sourcing is routine reporting and not SIGCOV. Out of 12 sources in the reflist: 8 regarding announcement or start of CBT; one about the game being silently cancelled. One (inclusion in top-10 list) reinforces obscurity of the title. Two are reviews from Korean gaming reporters after CBT ended: one is quite superficial, the other has more substantial critique. — 2406:3003:2077:1E60:C998:20C6:8CCF:5730 (talk) 10:41, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

- As the page has refs in multiple languages, here is a brief summary and assessment as of this rev:
- [1][2][6][7][9][10][11][12]: gaming news, multiple languages, all reporting on the same event: official PR announcement of CBT in Korea (dated around Sep 18) or start thereof (dated Oct 4). Very minimal summaries of game content and some graphics, all likely from official PR material. These are routine gaming news coverage regurgitating official PR, not strictly independent secondary source reporting.
- [4]: "10 Canceled Capcom Games You Never Knew Existed"; its obscurity just reinforces lack of notability
- [8]: (Korean) Cancellation reported after reporter inquires with Kakao Games; there had been no official announcement. Routine coverage.
- Korean gaming news on 2018/10/08, reporters' impressions from Android CBT conducted on 4-7 Oct
- - [3]: offers brief rundown of game modes and mechanics; more of a "preview" than a critical review
- - [5]: more detailed review with some critique. plot summary, character collecting & leveling mechanics, combat mechanics, fanservice focus
- A Google search for additional sources in English finds fandom.com articles, a small amount of gaming news coverage revolving around the CBT, and also some gameplay footage from the CBT. Searching in Korean also finds small amount of news about the CBT and cancellation. The game was quietly cancelled only a few months after being announced, so no other newsworthy events appear to have happened. There is certainly enough material to form a concise summary of what the game was intended to be like, or at least the state it was in during the beta test. However, WP:NOTDATABASE and we do not need to catalog every mobile videogame that did not make it to release. Some exceptions could conceivably exist, but in this case there is nothing particularly remarkable reported of its development process nor is it interesting from a game design standpoint. Being a Capcom "all-stars" title should not confer any inherited notability.
- In terms of subject-specific notability, the essay WP:NGAME has no guidance on unreleased or cancelled games. For something comparable, as a point of reference we can consider the guidelines of WP:NMUSIC which has a section WP:UNRELEASED on unreleased material or future albums. For unreleased material,
an unreleased album may qualify if there is sufficient verifiable and properly referenced information about it ...[but] this only applies to a very small number of exceptionally high-profile projects.
For future releases, albums withrelease dates in the near future [...] confirmed by reliable sources
may have articles. As a theoretical example, consider Duke Nukem Forever, which would have met the "high-profile" criteria due to extensive reporting on its delays and development woes well before its eventual 2011 release — see its article, circa 2007 which was already quite substantial. - Since this title is did not have a particularly high profile, and did not have a firm release date announced, that suggests it would not meet the bar for inclusion as a standalone article. However, some of the material would certainly be worth incorporating into other related articles, such as Kakao Games, Capcom or List of Capcom games.

- Merge/delete, only was released for a total of 4 days for a beta test. There are a bunch of sources and yeah it was made by a notable company, but we don't need to catalog every beta test.

Prod declined in 2020 with "abundance of sources in Korean". Deprodded did not respond to request to elaborate (Talk:Seoul International Youth Film Festival). The article is still unreferenced and doesn't link to these sources, and WP:GNG does not appear to be met based on the text. My BEFORE reveals little (but maybe someone fluent in Korean could find more?). Korean wiki article is little better, it has two sources, one appears to be dead, the other is about a related scandal [1] "Seoul International Youth Film Festival Chairperson sentenced to 1st trial for 'embezzlement of subsidy 150 million'" so it's not WP:SIGCOV about the event.

Macherla Niyojakavargam
Unreleased film that is too soon and does not satisfy film notability guidelines. This article has already been moved to draft space twice, once after a previous AFD found that it was not ready for article space and was closed as Draftify. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Macherla Niyojakavargam. However, the article has been moved back to article space, although it is still an unreleased film. There is nothing in this article that refers to significant coverage by independent sources. It should be either speedy-deleted as G4, or deleted. or draftified again, and the title should be Extended-Confirmed Protected in article space so that a neutral reviewer can move it into article space when the film is released and reviewed.

- Keep - The film stars three actors with Wikipedia articles - so they are notable. The film was produced/is under the banner of a production house with a Wikipedia article - so that production house is notable. The film is being released next month, in August 2022, so it's not too soon. The article has multiple sources - being that they are mostly not in English I take it on faith that they are reliable. WP:NFF states "Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles, as budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date." but this film has finished principal photography, has been edited, and is slated for release in about 30 days so, again, it's not WP:TOOSOON. So I say Keep. Shearonink (talk) 15:55, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- Additional comments - Per Inclusion criteria for film notability (and yes, I get that this criteria states the verb as "was" meaning the distribution has already happened)
- The film was successfully distributed domestically in a country that is not a major film producing country, and was produced by that country's equivalent of a "major film studio". Articles on such a film should assert that the film in question was notable for something more than merely having been produced, and if any document can be found to support this, in any language, it should be cited.
- I think I should mention something that struck me about this particular project. If this film was a Black Widow movie in the MCU, or a film starring Robert De Niro/Meryl Streep/Margot Robbie/etc or someone/something similar and it was opening next month, there would be an article about it and we probably wouldn't even be discussing the issue. But because this is a Telugu-language film made for the Indian market, we are discussing it. And maybe that spills over into an English-speaking POV or even bias. An appropriate guideline to perhaps keep in mind, even though it is for an associated creative industry, is WP:MUSICBIO which states in part:
- Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles.

- Keep - The film stars actors/actresses who have their separate Wikipedia articles, the songs of the film are also released, the film will soon release on 12 August so what's the point of deleting the article. If it was a Hollywood film the article will be created months back before the release date and nobody will debate for delition, but if it is an Indian film everyone has some or the other problems and then they ask to delete the article.
Regards User:MNWiki845 (talk) 24 July 2022.
- Weak keep despite MNWiki845 claiming some sort of bias against Indian films, there is some reliably sourced information here and no doubt there will be more as the film gets released in a month's time. It does feel like the article was created too soon but its already in existence now and not far from release date.

- Redirect to Betty Who and send to Draft: space (second choice: delete). Had either of the singles released in advance of the album's release charted, I'd say we'd have a case for going ahead and creating an article. However, the article fails to assert notability per WP:NALBUM: the BroadwayWorld piece is just a rewrapped press release, and the Paper interview focuses on Who, not Big!. If this album were by The Who, there'd be enough press coverage to easily meet WP:GNG, and I'd have no problem with an article at this point, since we have a title and a release date. However, with all respect to Betty Who, it's a little more of a speculative gaze into the crystal ball to expect this album to chart upon release. That said, rather than deleting the article outright, I'd like to park it in draft space for now, so we can continue to refine it and bring it live quickly if it hits specific notability in the future. —C.Fred (talk) 11:53, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Speedy/Procedural Keep - This is already a mess with recommendations to keep or delete or redirect or draftify, and the reason it's a mess is because voters are trying to figure out what is or is not wrong with the article after getting no reasoning from the nominator. That runs afoul of WP:NOTARG and a procedural keep is mandated by WP:CSK. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 20:01, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- I would have made the same recommendation pretty much regardless of the rationale laid out by the nominator, so I don't see a reason to stop this discussion just to restart another one immediately afterward. —C.Fred (talk) 20:06, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

The result was keep and rename, which I will do. This is a challenging one. We really need Berlin Nobody for a crystal clear Keep, but the sourcing BusterD found is what keeps from being a no consensus. There is no possible outcome where this is deleted. Star Mississippi 02:07, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

She's due to direct "Berlin Nobody" which seems to return quite a few hits on Google News. Not sure if it's enough though Piecesofuk (talk) 18:23, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

- Rename + weak keep based on good faith. A really common name in collision with Jordan Scott (poet); other potentially/kinda/sorta-notable examples include a Jamaican triple-jumper ([6],[7]), a Chicago artist/photographer, a Utah Tech Trailblazers football defensive back, etc... first thing should be to move this page to qualified title Jordan Scott (filmmaker); creation of disambiguation page will depend on keep/delete outcome. As for notability: none inherited from her father. Existing mentions in Wikipedia: after excluding {{Ridley Scott}} using PetScan we get about two dozen incoming links mainly related to existing filmography. Her single feature-length release did not make enough impact to single-handedly confer notability on its own; upcoming film is WP:TOOSOON to tell, so far looks like we have mainly casting news with shooting reportedly to begin in September. Initial instinct is draftify, but CSD G13 deletion is a concern; I do wish we could stipulate Berlin Nobody release (or cancellation) + 6mths. I don't have access to the three newspaper articles mentioned above, so it'll be a good faith upgrade to keep based on just the article titles we've been given. — 2406:3003:2077:1E60:C998:20C6:8CCF:5730 (talk) 14:55, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. I've just added three reliable sources directly detailing her work as a "fledgling film director" from her 2005 Prada commercial film, one from the New York Times and one from the print version of The Independent (which I've clipped from Newspapers.com). The Independent's story directly details the subject for the entire article and gives substantial information of the collaboration with her father on their other shared projects. Put these few together with the material User:Piecesofuk brought to our attention and this easily meets GNG, possessing significant coverage in diverse reliable sources independent of the subject. I'm seeing several more where that came from. This isn't close. BusterD (talk) 21:08, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

- Other than that, I think I've thoroughly mined for possible coverage and found not much more than you have.

Quite clear this is promotionary in tone and does not demonstrate significant coverage. The information that is here is provided almost directly by primary sources, namely the organisation itself and there's no evidence of impact or significance of the institution. Furthermore, as a cynic, it seems the list of "notable alumni" is being used to establish some form of inherited notability, which simply isn't appropriate. Either way, the institution is not notable per WP:NCORP. It's been tagged since Dec 21 as such and I don't think its gotten any better. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 21:38, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

- Comment -- I would expect a tertiary college with 3000 students to be notable, but the emphasis is on education by extension, i.e. part-time courses; its awards are unaccredited; and almost all information comes from an internal source.

- From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies):
All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations, the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations ahas nd must satisfy those criteria.

- Keep on the presumption of significant coverage. It's certainly a very real seminary (as opposed to a diploma mill) and lots of hits in both GBooks and GNews.

- Keep the non-profit seminary (which is over 40 years old) has apparently over 30,000 graduates and 3,000 enrolled students. Furthermore, the seminary has over a million a year in operating expenses and is a certified institution with the National Christian Counselors Association (NCCA) and had previously been an affiliate of the Association for Biblical Higher Education until ABHE discontinued the affiliate program. ATS is a Member of the Association of Christian Distance Education (ACCESS), and also a member of the Council of Private Colleges of America (CPCA), and the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA). Andersonville Theological Seminary was chartered by the State of Georgia as a non-profit Christian seminary and was approved by the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission for Religious Exemption. Andersonville Theological Seminary has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. ATS students come from 24 foreign countries and all 50 states and the student body is theologically, culturally, and denominationally diverse. Make way for Tigers (talk) 05:22, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- All of these things are great but they don't address our notability guidelines for schools. The request to delete this article is no way a reflection on the quality or the efficacy of the organisation outside of Wikipedia. Lots of organisations, institutions and people don't end up on Wikipedia but it doesn't diminish their worth or value. However, Wikipedia is a digital encyclopaedia of things which are significant. The seminary is small and its impact is minimal. It has not received independent coverage that warrants a page on wikipedia. That information is without discrimination and again, does not reflect on the institution, its value or its purpose. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 18:25, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- I've seen claims that the seminary was "chartered by the State of Georgia" before. No actual sources though. At least not any that don't either come from the seminary itself, or fail to actually support the claim. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:39, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Siginficant Outside Sources: Mr. Andy I found a source showing Andersonville Theological Seminary (though I prefer the original founding name of Andersonville Baptist Seminary) is in fact a religious exempt institution with the state of Georgia [1] This list is current (as of 2021 Annual Report) and is from the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission. Without question this Baptist institution is in good standing with the state. Also keep in mind the seminary has a significant economic impact to both Albany, Georgia and to Mitchell County where the seminary is headquartered. Within the last few months the The Albany Herald wrote about the notable founder Dr. Hayes and the seminary he founded which can be found here: [2].

- Wikipedia's notability requirements are for
significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject
. Significant coverage actually directly discussing the subject of the article for which notability is being asserted. That is how notability is determined here. It is the only way notability is determined here. The naming of the subject in a list isn't 'significant coverage', regardless of what the list is of, or who it is published by. And mere assertions by contributors about significance to a local economy are of no relevance whatsoever. AndyTheGrump (talk) 12:48, 24 July 2022 (UTC)- I'm sorry The Albany Herald does not meet the liberal prestige of the New York Times that you require. But the fact is it's a good newspaper and is notable. Make way for Tigers (talk) 13:08, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- WP:SIGCOV explicitly says the subject "does not need to be the main topic of the source material". The Albany Herald article is indeed an independent reliable source providing significant coverage. StAnselm (talk) 15:12, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- It is independent coverage, but 'significant'? A few rather vague sentences about the number of students etc isn't much to build an article around. AndyTheGrump (talk) 15:17, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Well here is a link to the IRS, and all of Andersonville Baptist Seminary's tax returns over the last four years: https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/detailsPage?ein=581989996&name=Andersonville%20Baptist%20Seminary%20Inc.&city=Camilla&state=GA&countryAbbr=US&type=returnsSearch --> Does that help? I ask because it shows over a million a year in educational activities (programming, salaries, etc.) which is actually alot for a seminary. Make way for Tigers (talk) 16:00, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Again it only demonstrates the number of students and/or revenue. What we haven't got is a bunch of reliable independent sources talking about the seminary or its impact. Notability is not implied just because an organisation has x number of students or is proponent/champion of X Bible unless they have received coverage from that which is independent of the movement itself. I think its clear that opposition to the deletion of the article is everything to do with promotion and feeling it is worthy instead of anything based on evidence or fact. I do wonder if people realise that wikipedia articles are not a given right or entitlement, its not the end of the world to not have and they do not help with search engine optimisation. At this point, can I recommend you take a deep breath, drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass? >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 16:23, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

- Make way for Tigers - yes there is some mentions there which are notable (except LinkedIn which is self-published, and Seminary.com which is not independent of the topic etc.) but the coverage isn't significant. Many of these sources just tell us that the institution exists or its links to the of Georgia. That said, whether or not the institution is in good state is not in question nor is its value to the community. WP:ORGSIG says
"Notability" is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance." No matter how "important" editors may personally believe an organization to be, it should not have a stand-alone article in Wikipedia unless reliable sources independent of the organization have given significant coverage to it.
. Furthermore WP:INHERITORG saysAn organization is not notable merely because a notable person or event was associated with it
, so even if the seminary's founder or principle is notable, it doesn't mean that the wider organisation is. WP:ORGDEPTH provides some examples of the type of coverage that doesn't establish notability, much of this is exemplified in the section about academics and accreditation. I understand you have personal affection for the seminary either as a theologian or previous alumni of it, or perhaps due to religion however the process being gone through here is not designed to disrespect the topic, religion or seminary. Its an assessment against our objective criteria and would be applied equally whatever services the institution delivered. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 11:02, 24 July 2022 (UTC)- Lil-unique1 - I am of the opinion that you are not being disrespectful to this seminary. Furthermore, I appreciate that this discussion has been brought up as well. I just think with all the things discussed (Anderson Baptist Seminary's huge number of graduates, large yearly operating expenses, dozens of outside sources, significant economic impact to the region, etc.) that if this seminary is not deemed notable by Wikipedia then perhaps 99% of all seminaries (not affiliated with a large liberal university) would also fail the notability test. It's a slippery slope and I object strongly to deleting any seminary from Wikipedia. Also, were you aware that Andersonville is a thought leader in the King James Promotion Movement? Make way for Tigers (talk) 11:23, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- That you personally 'object to the deleting of any seminary from Wikipedia' is of no concern here, since this is a discussion about whether the specific subject of this AfD discussion meets notability criteria as they currently stand. If you wish to propose a change to the well-established Wikipedia-wide criteria, you will have to do so elsewhere, since it cannot be done here. AndyTheGrump (talk) 12:52, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject
. Not passing mentions, accompanied by assertions that this is evidence of significance. It isn't. Not according to well-established Wikipedia notability criteria. The fundamental criteria are the same for any topic, and they aren't open to negotiation here. AndyTheGrump (talk) 14:08, 24 July 2022 (UTC)- That's offensive to say I am spamming the page (and its difficult to quantify independent 3rd party evidence of Andersonville Baptist Seminary's direct contribution to the KJV-Only movement). But let's apply some critical thinking here. Look at Andersonville's Doctrinal Statement and the student catalog and it clearly states that it is a King James Version only seminary. But think about all those students over the last 40 years that were taught seminary courses via the King James Bible. That is approximately 30,000 pastors that are going to be spreading the KJV-Only message to their congregations. Clearly the seminary has made a profound impact on the KJV-Only Movement. Make way for Tigers (talk) 14:36, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Keepstrike double !vote - I disagree - these are strong sources (Albany Herald, The State of Georgia, United States Distance Learning Association, Academia.edu, CauseIQ, Orgcouncil.com, Jostens, ProPublica, etc..). The bottom line is this reek of liberal elitism and taking a derogatory action against a well-established Independent Baptist seminary that has been around for over 40 years with over 30,000 graduates. Slippery slope and all seminaries not affiliated with a large liberal university could now start getting deleted in en masse. This would be a terrible precedent to start. Make way for Tigers (talk) 18:17, 26 July 2022 (UTC)- OK, I'll ignore the ad hominen remarks and seeing as how you are a relative newbie, I'll try to explain why this topic fails our guidelines. Claims such as "been around for 40 years with over 30,000 graduates" does not mean the organization meets our criteria and whoever closes this AfD will only look at reasoning based on our guidelines. First off, the quantity of coverage is irrelevant - more sources does not mean "better" nor means the topic is notable. Here are the main sections you need to understand.
- Since this topic is an organization, WP:SIRS requires that *each* reference (that is used to establish notability) must meet all the criteria, and we require multiple sources that contains significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth".
- WP:ORGDEPTH requires deep or significant coverage that provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization. It also provides examples of trivial coverage to include simple listings or compilations, standard notices, announcements, routine coverage of meetings or changes in the organization, etc.
- WP:ORGIND requires that for a reference to count towards establishing notability, it must contain "Independent Content". That is original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. References cannot rely only on information provided by the company, so references that rely on quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews, anything which originates from the company and where the journalist/publication does not add anything original that is also in-depth and about the organization, fails ORGIND.
- Most of the examples you've provided falls under trivial coverage. A list of members. A listing from the Academia website which appears to allow anybody to create a listing and upload documents (no oversight). A listing of their tax status and their statutory financial returns. The Albany Herald article relies entirely on an interview with Hayes and has no "Independent Content" containing in-depth information on the topic org. There's nothing here that meets our criteria.

- Delete - I have reviewed the article, checked for additional sourcing online, and read through this discussion. The keep arguments boil down to: sources must exist (WP:MUSTBESOURCES), the age of the school (WP:ITSOLD), the fact that it is a real school (WP:ITEXISTS), and the number of graduates (WP:BIGNUMBER). The keep arguments are not in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. None of the keep rationales so much as suggest notability, let alone explain how the article demonstrates notability. WP:NSCHOOL is clear that if we consider a seminary a university-adjacent program (being a graduate-level theological institution), that it must satisfy WP:GNG or WP:ORG. If however we consider it a for-profit institution, it must satisfy WP:NCORP. I'm not going to put forward an argument about which it would fall under, because the end result is the same: it fails every notability guideline that could apply to it. There's plenty of primary/non-independent sources and trivial coverage, but nothing of substance that demonstrates notability for the subject. - Aoidh (talk) 03:01, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Notability must be demonstrated with actual identified sources, not hypothetical sources that might exist. Arguments to age, existence or number of graduates are unpersuasive.

- FYI, none of those search locations are appropriate for gauging C1 notability of academics in most STEM fields, as they are not going to be receiving secondary coverage in traditional media nor are they going to be heavily cited in books/have books reviewed. You need to be looking at citation counts and h-index on Scopus (GS should be used with caution as it "cites" a lot of non-academic media) to gauge relative C1 impact in these cases. JoelleJay (talk) 02:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- I appreciate this tip. I know to be cautious of GS on this. But the correct way is probably the one thing I most need to learn. How exactly do I find the citation counts on Scopus? Do I need an account or something? CT55555 (talk) 02:41, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- You do generally need a Scopus account (usually through university library access) to see some of the features of a scholar's profile, although the preview version does give a good overview: [20]. GS generally inflates citations ~1.5-2x (for example, Scopus gives her 301 citations while GS gives her 436), with the fold change increasing with higher numbers of papers and citations. If you keep that in mind you can use it, but of course with all citation indices interpretations must be relative to the subfield. It's also important to be familiar with author contribution norms in each field/journal, since being a "middle author" on papers doesn't count as much in disciplines with ordinal or pseudo-ordinal authorship.

I am happy for the page to be deleted. @JoelleJay great efforts on Scopus scores and GS as that shows the level of understanding some of your editors have here as regarding confirming notability. @CT55555 Google wouldn't be suitable for confirming C1 notability of academics as that is relevant to WP:GNG.

An argument could be made that the list in main article needs to be shortened and split off, but the problem is lack of any sourcing. Frankly, in addition to redirecting this I'd also support reducing the plot fancruft present in the main article. It's ridclous this is longer than the corresponding sections for characters found in articles on Star Wars or Casablanca or such. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:22, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Also, 100% of article is Wikipedia:original research + even name of article is clear original research because Malta officially has no cities, towns etc, Malta is officially divided only into 68 administrative units known as "local councils". This division functions in both the law and the constitution. The article lists all areas, historical settlements, housing estates and even the modern administrative divisions and all of this are called as towns. This is absurdal hoax (Wikipedia:Hoax), to speedy delete. Also, there is correct article of List of localities in Malta about this topic, so - this article is wrong duplicate.

- Redirect to Local councils of Malta. The template at the bottom shows there is a list like this for every nation in Europe. Wikipedia has a list article showing that as well at Lists of cities in Europe. We also have Category:Towns in Malta. Some of the articles linked to call it a village, town, or city, so if that's a mistake it needs to be changed. This list should exist, just with the proper article name. Dream Focus 22:32, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, there is a huge mess with localities in Malta, even in categories. There will be a lot of cleanup to be done. We have to get rid of those hoaxes and the original research from Wikipedia, especially since most of these changes were made by two users. Subtropical-man (✉ | en-2) 22:48, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect per WP:PRESERVE and retention of plausible search terms, to either Local councils of Malta or List of localities in Malta, noting that the present text of this article derives from the independently created List of towns in Malta and Gozo, which would require an attribution statement when any redirecting is made; see my post at Talk:List of towns in Malta#Reverted prod. The early history of this article, until 25 July 2010, has a different text. Lists are not subject to the same expectation of sourcing as non-list articles; most of the burden of verifiability is borne by the blue-linked articles included. However, they are expected to satisfy notability and verifiability criteria for the items listed as a class, and we have three articles with significant overlap. Depending on what the actual governmental nomenclature is in Malta and how places are normally referred to in reliable sources in English (WP:COMMONNAME) (I see no reason whatsoever to consider this article a hoax, and note that in 2017 Subtropical-man himself restored it from redirect, apparently copying and pasting the text from List of towns in Malta and Gozo), I am uncertain whether we need even two articles. My tentative preference, since I have no expertise in the area, would be to redirect this article to Local councils of Malta and to also redirect List of localities in Malta there, on the same basis, but there is material in both that would need to be merged; and if only this article gets redirected, the title List of localities in Malta seems like a more obvious redirect target. Subtropical-man has asserted that some of that material is erroneous—housing estates and otherwise non-discrete locations—but even if there are errors, that doesn't mean everything in the article, or in List of localities in Malta, is an error. (I'd also like to note that all four of these are quite old articles: Local councils of Malta was created by Zoe in December 2002, List of localities in Malta by Tsum60, a Maltese editor, in June 2007, and the other two date back to 2008 (this article, by Seanjmarshall74) and 2010 (the one with Gozo in the title, by Kinginformation). So Subtropical-man's generalization about
2 users
is an overstatement.) Yngvadottir (talk) 02:31, 11 July 2022 (UTC)- If more users prefer redirect, although I prefer deletion, I agree with redirect option. Subtropical-man (✉ | en-2) 19:42, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I’m usually a big fan of bundled AfDs but I’m not particularly of this one. I know that the slow and laborious work of merging these Antarctica stubs into more general articles is underway and I think it would be a shame for us to lose all this detail by being in too much of a hurry. My preference in every case is to merge and redirect where possible to articles about more notable nearby features. I recognise that in some cases this won’t be possible and we’ll lose the stubs as a result, but I think that should be a last resort. Mccapra (talk) 20:16, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Mass-created article made in violation of WP:MASSCREATE/WP:MEATBOT based on the 2006 Iranian census, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Carlossuarez46 for all the gory details. The Iranian census gathered data by whatever the closest named landmark was, including pumps, factories, farms, bridges, individual houses and so-forth, so this is not actually a legally-recognised community and thus fails WP:GEOLAND#1. The name simply means something like "Abadi Zavarzmand, engine number 55", so this is not a village but instead an engine somewhere within Joghatai village that census-takers have used as a reference point. Typically such engines are used to pump water and thus likely to be a more prominent local feature.
Per WP:BUNDLE, every Iranian "village" article we have including the word "Mowtowr" in the title appears to be a hoax/spam article created by the same editor (Carlossuarez46) and therefore can be nominated together. This is demonstrated particularly by:
- "Mowtowr" is not a Persian-origin word, but instead a relatively-modern
EnglishFrench-origin loan-word and thus highly, highly unlikely to be used as a place-name in Iran. - A review of these articles shows that they are all cited either to the Iranian census alone (which is not a list of legally-recognised populated communities) or to the Iranian Census and GEOnet Names Server (which is also not a reliable source).
- There have been 17 AFD discussion regarding articles with the word "Mowtowr" in the title (see here), every one of which was created by Carlossuarez46 and closed delete/redirect.
- All of these articles was written according to the same/similar template: "NAME (Persian: PERSIAN, also romanized as ALTERNATE ROMANIZATION) is a village in RURAL DISTRICT, in the DISTRICT of COUNTY, PROVINCE, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was NUMBER, in FAMILIES."

- At least some of them are real places, for example there is one at 36°41′53″N 57°06′58″E / 36.698°N 57.116°E. The "Mowtowr" names are probably similar to the Chak (village) names in Pakistan. Abadi Zavarzmand Shomareh Mowtowr 55 is one of 18 places in Joghatai Rural District for which the census has any information, not too many to mention in a list. Peter James (talk) 11:58, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Peter James - Just to be very, very clear here, "mowtowr" (موتور) is a Farsi loan-word taken from the French word "moteur" meaning "motor" or "engine". It does not mean "village". The full Google Translate version of the name of Abadi Zavarzmand Shomareh Mowtowr 55 in Farsi (ابادي زورزمندشماره موتور55) is "Ibadi Zorzmand, motor number 55". The "real place" listings are likely citogenesis and show why these articles are dangerous.
- There is no reliable source for these being real, actual communities rather than simply the names of motor-pumps around which the census has been counted. The Iranian census does not distinguish between actual rural communities and simple locations in the countryside around which the census is counted - all are classified as abadi. There is thus no real reason to create a list - the US equivalent would be listing census-tracts within a community. FOARP (talk) 13:31, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- There are streets with buildings, probably a village, at that location. The Chak names are similar, the original meaning was not village. The US equivalent of abadi would be census-designated place. Peter James (talk) 15:27, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- The US equivalent (I.e., lowest-level census-taking unit) is a Census tract. We have clear input (with links to supporting documentation) from the FA-speaking community that abadis aren’t the equivalent of villages - see the above-linked discussions where the creation of these pages was roundly condemned. Given that many of the subcontinental geostubs were created algorithmically by Mr Blofeld based on unreliable GNS data I am sceptical that Pakistani Chaks are anyway a useful example, even ignoring WP:OTHERSTUFF. FOARP (talk) 16:06, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Whether there is a lower level or not is not relevant, most of them are names of places (often villages), census tracts are all "Census Tract 14.02" or similar. The main differences between these and census-designated places are that many places too small for CDPs are included, about which not much has been written, and that some farms and factories are included (although some farm names are villages, and it's possible that some factory names are as they can be in the UK). If census recognition does not satisfy the "legal recognition" of WP:GEOLAND, places can still be included in a list in the district's article. I agree GNS is unreliable for some purposes (some country houses designated as "populated place" instead of "building", and occasional coordinate errors) but these are not based on GNS. Peter James (talk) 21:59, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Peter James, which ones in the list do you believe to be villages? –dlthewave ☎ 22:17, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know, I was just looking at the first one, but there are other villages (or at least populated places, if "village" is an official status). Mowtowr-e Baluchha (https://www.geonames.org/6986691) looks like a village at that location (should there be an AFD template on that page as it is included in the nomination?), but Mowtowr-e 22 Bahman (https://www.geonames.org/6985457), although it has more people there, it is in Geonames as a farm and does not look like a village. But if included in a list (or even as articles) they could just be described as what the census says they are, we don't have to decide if they are villages or not. Peter James (talk) 22:46, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- To pass WP:Geoland#1 these should be legally recognised populated places. No source describes them as such. Looking at satellite images and describing them as “maybe villages” is WP:OR. Creating a list of rural locations around which the census has been counted simply because they have names in a database rather than numbers is pointless - 23% of Abadi according to Encyclopaedia Iranica do not even have any recorded people counted near them, and many others are palpably not “villages” but
"teahouses, mines, railroad stations, and other clearly demarcated installations"
so we cannot just use WP:OR to determine which are and are not “villages”. In this case they have names that clearly identify them as not villages. I’ve templated every one I could but since I don’t have AWB it’s possible that some templates were missing - I’ll go and template that one. Geonames is a Wiki-like database and of course not a reliable source anyway. FOARP (talk) 04:57, 21 July 2022 (UTC) - BTW, Peter James - Both Abadi Zavarzmand Shomareh Mowtowr 55 and Abadi Zavarzmand Shomareh Mowtowr 52 are both recorded as being at approximately 36.7, 57.1 on OpenStreetMap (which is of course an unreliable, Wiki-like source). Whilst the individual pins are separated by a few hundred metres, the satellite view shows what appears to be a single continuous set of buildings. Which is the "village" and which isn't? Is pump 52 the "village"? Or is it pump 55? Or - as seems much more likely based simply on the names - are they both actually motor-pumps within a real location (possibly a village? but no reliable source says so) called "Zavarzmand"? And how, other than engaging in original research, is any conclusion at all to be reached on that? FOARP (talk) 07:26, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- OSM and Bing show two villages (Google satellite view shows separate groups of streets and buildings about a mile apart, with a few buildings in the gap), pumps 55 and 56, and 52 next to 56 (which is not in the census) but not at the location of a village, so I don't know if 52 or 56 is the other village. There are others but they have different names. Peter James (talk) 14:25, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- The fact that it is not clear, which, if any, of these is any kind of actual community, and which not, rather militates against the idea that - even if the interpretation of satellite photos (which is ultimately original research) based on unreliable wiki-like sources to say that these are individual villages is correct - that there is any village by the name "Abadi Zavarzmand Shomareh Mowtowr 55". I note that there is also Chah-e Amiq Shomareh-ye 27 Zuzmand, Chah-e Amiq Shomareh-ye 28 Zurzamand, Chah-e Amiq Shomareh-ye 5 Zurzamand, Chah-e Amiq Shomareh-ye Do Zurzamand, Chah-e Amiq Shomareh-ye Yek Zurzamand, all of which are numbered wells, and all of which appear to be locations within a community called "Zavarzmand" (for which "Zuzmand"/"Zurzamand" are just different romanisations?).

Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:NMOTORSPORT. He competed in Formula 1 feeder series but didn't make it to International Formula 3000 (which was the GP2 Series' predecessor at the time for NMOTORSPORT Criteria 2). I wasn't able to find anything in my searches besides database entries, passing mentions in the race recaps, and a single mention in one dubious source about opening a new team for Spanish F4 2017 (which didn't even happen).

- Comment - Alright alright alright... let me set this straight because I think you're getting a lot of stuff mixed up. First of all, Criteria 2 of WP:NMOTORSPORT should not and does not mean exclusively F3000/GP2/F2. These are just the main series the FIA favours as F1's primary feeder series, which doesn't mean there weren't more. Wikipedia is not the FIA's sock puppet so there is no reason to ignore the likes of the Trophées de France, the always-confused British F1, British Formula 3000, Auto GP, MSV F2 or most importantly Formula Renault 3.5. These were all "top-level feeder series" by definition, while not necessarily equally notable. Now, FR3.5 was essentially as important as GP2 in this era, in fact taking more drivers directly to F1, and it is where Santi Porteiro (that's his WP:COMMONNAME and the name with which you'll find more coverage of him) raced in. Or rather, in its predecessor, the World Series by Nissan—only difference with the former being the promoter, Jaime Alguersuari Sr.'s RPM Racing. I don't think this makes him notable, especially as his results were poor, but it's not as if he didn't make it to an important championship... The thing with Santi is his article isn't updated. He's not just a (former) racing driver, he's currently a decently-respected driver coach and manager, as well as the founder of Porteiro Motorsport (together with his more successful brother Félix Porteiro). The team has raced in the European F3 Open (present-day Euroformula) and its parent series International GT Open, and were indeed planning an expansion to F4 but backed out of it. However, what they're most known for is their collection of cars for use in private or public test days. They own cars from GT3, GT4 (primarily Mercedes), GP2 (both /08 and /11 I believe), GP3, 3.5, Regional, F4 and even World Series Lights (funnily enough, the series Santi won)... and they're quite busy testing them all year long. They've got deals going on with various F2/F3 teams (e.g. Campos and Charouz) and most of their drivers (Bolukbasi, Caldwell, Pizzi, Martí this year) prepare their seasons testing for Porteiro. So... to summarise: this is Santi's business now, it's pretty big and it's what he and Félix are known for in the industry. He is not a random, retired racing driver that has seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth. What establishes whether he warrants an article though is WP:SIGCOV, and I've been able to find these: [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30]. It's not a lot of coverage, so I'm not voting keep just yet, but it's also not the clear-cut delete !vote that it appeared based on your description. A deeper WP:BEFORE search which I don't have time for at the moment could shed some more light on this. MSport1005 (talk) 12:47, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- MSport1005 First of all, thank you for bothering to have a really extensive backstory research, it's really appreciated. It seems like you have a lot of general knowledge beyond just the straightforward facts about feeder series. I think we might need a talk page discussion about that NMOTORSPORT criteria 2, as in whether some (or all) of those championships should be applied, but as of now, I have no other way but to apply it as it stands and written. It'd be too ambiguous to take upon anything else before any consensus. About the sources, I found exactly the same things as you did in sources 1-3 and 6, which are passing mentions or recaps (something I've mentioned in the nomination). Haven't seen the airport thing (have in mind 4 and 5 are identically the same, just in different sites, so you should remove one of them), but ultimately the coverage is also not as deep as it might look at the first glance and is not directed to Porteiro himself. Seems like it might be worthy to create an article about Porteiro Motorsport with some deeper research, but I can't find anything that'd point me to say Santiago on his own is notable. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 16:49, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- That's a fair interpretation, with the caveat that #1 is a recap but focuses more on the driver than the series, so while it's not extense, it's also not WP:ROUTINE. #4/#5 are indeed just one event covered by different outlets. I'd agree that, as it stands, the coverage isn't quite enough for GNG—in which case, merging Santi's page to Félix Porteiro or to a potential article on Porteiro Motorsport (which I support) could be a good idea. After all, all it is (in its current state) is a poor, outdated stub with nothing more than a lead and a couple of links. MSport1005 (talk) 17:29, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Reason In Vitrio (talk) 08:32, 19 July 2022 (UTC) 1. There is no evidence that anyone considered this anything other than a friendly match. The article cites Scottish newspapers not mentioning it as anything grander; I have read the Mail for that day and it does not mention a world championship, indeed, in the list of fixtures for the day, the top fixture is West Brom v Walsall Swifts in the Staffs Cup. An advert on the front page calls it a "great international match" and that is mere puff - the same advert includes fixtures with Notts Co and Dumbarton.
2. The adverts for the game are given equal prominence in the Birmingham media to matches such as Aston Unity v Excelsior and a follow-up match between Villa and Dumbarton.
3. The match preview in the Birmingham Mail describes Villa as playing three important matches - Hibs, Notts County, and Dumbarton, suggesting each was considered as important as the other; there is no hint at this being a 'world' championship. They are together considered the Easter programme and again given no more prominence than those of other clubs (6 April 1887, p. 4). (On the same page there is a merit table for the leading clubs in the country - the club at the top of that is Preston North End and the top Scots club is the Vale of Leven.)
4. The match report in the Birmingham Mail gives it less prominence than the Shropshire Junior Cup, which is standard for the time, when friendlies were always subordinate to competitive matches.
5. There is no suggestion of any prize, of any celebration, or of any claim to being even de facto world champions.
6. I cannot find any published source anywhere that declares this to have been a world championship (unlike the 1888 match between Renton and West Bromwich Albion).
The article is re-writing history to find something which does not exist. We cannot apply today's standards to the standards back then; after all, Queen's Park (Scottish Cup winners throughout the 1870s) regularly met the Wanderers (FA Cup winners throughout the 1870s) in friendlies but again nobody called those world championship matches.

- Thank you.
- One other thought: the match was 1 week after the FA Cup final, so was arranged long before that match (as a return match after a friendly in January in Edinburgh). It was not organized AS a world title match. In Vitrio (talk) 09:14, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Having looked up the billing that you mention in point #2, which is available in HD within Wikipedia here [31], it is clear that the match had a higher billing than other matches that week: it is given twice the lines, and it states GREAT INTERNATIONAL MATCH and notes the fact that both sides are their current national cup holders. The other matches just have times/prices. So you can scratch that point, it was clearly noted as an 'international match' and this misrepresentation makes me wonder if you have some kind of agenda frankly. Again, no one is claiming that Aston Villa were the best side in the world in 1887 (though due to the size of the sport in those days they potentially were), it's just a loose title that was given to games of this ilk between English ans Scottish sides. The press did call them Champions of the United Kingdom after the match on at least one occasion which is an alternate title of the Football World Championship page.
- Please bring this to the talk page next time before jumping straight to deletion. Mountaincirquetalk 15:15, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- That's not a newspaper article - that's an advert. It's not an independent description and even with the sales puff from Villa placing it they do not call it a world championship match. Instead it is part one of their Easter programme. "Great international match" is not a first-time term for a club match - Blackburn Rovers v Queen's Park in 1882 was called the same (Blackburn Weekly Standard, 11 November 1882).
- The agenda here is someone back in 2014 trying to create a fake history for a world title that never existed; the creator's only entries all relate to this mythical title (and some Venezuelan tournament which is also of dubious notoriety). Why are you so insistent that it should stay when literally nobody at the time called it the 1887 World Championship - not even the participants - and apparently nobody in the entire history of humankind called it that until this very page was put up? Isn't that the definition of "original research"? Is the truth not important?
- And as I said below the "Champions of the United Kingdom" is from BEFORE the match - it refers to the FA Cup win.
- If nobody can find a contemporary source, then we have to concede that the page's existence is down to someone making it up in 2014, in which case it has to be deleted. Because:
- -it cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources,
- -thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify it have failed (nobody commenting so far has found a reliable source), and
- -as it is basically a friendly match it does not meet the relevant notability guideline. In Vitrio (talk) 23:14, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Still being written about more than 100 years later and was the precursor of further inter league matches.[32][33] The victory caused media to describe Aston Villa as champions of the UK following this match, as stated in this book.--Mvqr (talk) 10:02, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- None of those sources mentions this as a world championship match. Again they all back up the Renton v WBA match as the first touted as such.
- There is not one contemporary source that I have found that talks about it being a world championship match. Describing it as such 100 years later is ahistorical. In Vitrio (talk) 10:25, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- According to this book, this led media to dub Aston Villa as "champion team of the United Kingdom" which is significant enough. And they're still writing about this over a hundred years later. The name of the 1887 match may have been inaccurate, but that's the name they choose. The Yankees in baseball still play the World Series every year, even though they don't invite Nippon Professional Baseball teams or other teams from the world.--Mvqr (talk) 11:20, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Again, that book is inaccurate. The one source for "champion team of the United Kingdom" is from the Birmingham Post on 4 April 1887 - i.e. BEFORE this match - and refers to Villa winning the FA Cup ("the title which they earned on Saturday"), which was open to the entire UK. And that was not unprecedented - the Blackburn Weekly Post called Rovers that in 1884.
- Quite startling, in fact, looking back at the original sources, how poor some of these history books really are... In Vitrio (talk) 12:13, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Whatever it was, it is still being covered over 100 years later. All your arguments so far might, ignoring the original research issue, support a rename or modification of some of the text of the article. However, these aren't arguments for notability. For notability, the existence of multiple, independent, reliable sources generated over a period spanning more than a hundred years prove notability.--Mvqr (talk) 12:28, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- It is not being "covered" over 100 years later; there is 1 source mentioning this as a world championship, and it post-dates this article.
- The argument for notoriety requires multiple, independent, reliable sources over a 100 year period. None of them is reliable; I would submit independence is questionable, given that there is no source until after this article appears on wikipedia; and so far nobody has actually shown more than one source that says "this was a world championship match", which dates from 2021, and the other references to it as such are misreported.
- Re-name it perhaps to "Friendly Match between Aston Villa and Hibernian from 1887", which would be accurate, and let's see if it is notable. No more so than the Preston v Hibs match the next season which WAS dubbed a world championship match. In Vitrio (talk) 13:14, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water, the page has references, let's simply adjust the text to represent the points you make well above? The game is referenced in a number of modern sources, so deleting based on your research seems very heavy-handed to me. Examples from a quick Google Books search: [34], [35] Mountaincirquetalk 11:18, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- But that first source is inaccurate; this match was NOT arranged between the FA Cup and Scottish Cup winners, but by two clubs who later happened to win the FA Cup and the Scottish Cup. The second is obvious extrapolation.
- Again, no original source refers to it as a world championship; it was a friendly between two prominent sides. It is fake history to declare it a world championship 130 years later. May as well declare the original FA Cup to have been the World Cup while we are at it. In Vitrio (talk) 12:06, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. Having read through the page at Football World Championship, it is clear to me that this page should stand. The lead of that article makes it clear that these matches were between the leading sides of Scotland and England and that the title of the games did vary from year to year. This page discusses the game between the English Cup winners and the Scottish Cup winners of 1887 and as such it forms part of an ongoing series of invitational matches betweens the FAs that occurred over a 28-year period. By all means explain the fact that it is referred to as a 'great international match', that it was invitational etc. No-one really thinks that this is a competitive honour, it is not listed as such in any pages here or sources. However, it does form part of a series of games and has secondary sources and contemporaneous sources that raise its standing above other games of the time. Mountaincirquetalk 11:26, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- I think that page is dubious as well, it needs proper sorting because none of the matches before 1887 had any title other than anything informal dubbed by the media. If you went back to 1878 and told the Wanderers and Vale of Leven that they were playing for the world title they would have considered you bonkers.
- And that page cites no source for this match being called a de facto world championship. I get the impression that this page is directly misleading authors today into calling this a world championship. Their fault, of course, but I see no reason for perpetuating a falsehood. In Vitrio (talk) 12:09, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- It's a fair title based on common usage across the whole series of matches in my opinion. I could see an argument to rename this page Aston Villa F.C. 3-0 Hibernian F.C which is the standard format for individual matches as per Manchester United F.C. 8–2 Arsenal F.C.. Then maybe you could calm down about the name. If you want to do that then please propose it in the talk page first to try for a consensus. There are way too many sources for this page to delete. Mountaincirquetalk 15:33, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thing is, I could come up with a dozen sources for many matches in that era...does that make them notable? Every FA Cup semi for starters. In context it was seen as less notable than the Shropshire Senior Cup final... In Vitrio (talk) 16:23, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

- Keep There are a number of publish book sources that talk about this match, it's an early match of across border football which was rather rare in the day. Yes it could do with a bit of work on the article, but the essence is there. Seems to just pass the basic bar for GNG in my opinion as an article and I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few more book sources to add. Govvy (talk) 21:24, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- 1. "There are a number of publish book sources that talk about this match": name them.
- 2. "it's an early match of across border football which was rather rare in the day": it wasn't. For starters the FA Cup was open to Scots clubs until the Scottish FA put their foot down in the mid-1880s. I was researching something else, and, in the same week in January 1881, Dumbarton played Blackburn Rovers, Darwen, and Sheffield; Heart of Midlothian played Blackburn Rovers and Aston Villa; and Old Etonians played Queen's Park, Vale of Leven, and Edinburgh University (source: Leeds Mercury, 7 Jan 1881). Nobody was thinking of cross-border matches as anything other than matches between clubs, not as representative of associations. That's just one random week a few years before. Indeed the whole point of the reference to "champions of the United Kingdom" refers to the FA Cup being open to Welsh and Irish clubs (and Scots clubs, if they were willing to risk SFA sanction). In Vitrio (talk) 21:48, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Apart from the fact that the local press in Birmingham noted this as a GREAT INTERNATIONAL MATCH and noted the fact that they were both cup-winners, whereas all the other games you list were just your run-of-the-mill friendlies between sides that had no claim to be the leading sides of their nations.
- As I suggested in another reply you can propose a rename of the page to simply the name/score of the game if you want to which would be less controversial than being so deletionist here when, as a number of senior editors have pointed out to you, there is enough here for GNG, even though it is not perfect. You seem to have a conspiracy theory in mind, all World Championship is in this context is a common-use title for these matches between cup and league-winners, so even on that basis alone, regardless of naming, it would be included as it is undoubtable that they were their respective cup-holders when they met. Mountaincirquetalk 12:49, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- The local press did NOT note it as a Great International Match; that was an advert. Nobody in the media called it that (unlike Blackburn-Queen's Park earlier). This match is not notable in context. It was slightly freakish that both clubs won their national cups after the friendly was arranged, but there were at least a dozen other such matches earlier, and none of them has a wikipedia page.
- There is no point in renaming the page because that would simply prove what I am saying, it is not notable enough. It is a one-off friendly. None of the senior editors commenting here have come up with a valid argument for keeping it here; I have shown that the arguments about its notoriety are plainly wrong or based on mis-reported sources. It is likely that at least one recent book suggests the page's existence is misleading people now.
- And one other point is that this may have been a match between the professional Cup winners, but the best side in the world in 1887 was almost certainly neither of them, but the Corinthian club, which at the time did not take part in competitive matches. If you want a notable match with a much better claim for being the world championship of 1887, then the Queen's Park v Corinthian New Year's Day match was held before 100,000 (sic) at Hampden Park, and resulted in a Corinthian win. Which shows the problem in attaching an anachronistic title to - I repeat - a one-off friendly.
- The simple point is NO SOURCE CALLS THIS A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH so it should not be called that; and if you take the title away all one is left with is a friendly.
- I am not being deleitionist. I am being accurate. The page is misleading and I wonder why some want to keep it. In Vitrio (talk) 18:01, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- You seem to be getting a bit shouty which isn't really helping, there have been a few good pieces of advice and sources posted above that you could use to improve this page but you seem set on DELETE even though it's clear that this page is going no-where, other than being improved by our joint efforts.
- I agree that there are no contemporary sources that call this specifically a World Championship. However, what there are sources for are the fact that games between the cup/league winners of Scotland/England were called World Championship games in the Victorian era, this was just one of that series games - and they were all exhibition/friendly matches. It's possible that there is some 'back contamination' of recent sources but that needs to be properly unravelled. Mountaincirquetalk 10:12, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
- That's why it's not suitable as an article; none of these games was set up as "Cup winners v Cup winners". Wanderers v Queen's Park was a regular fixture regardless of how they did in the cups (albeit Wanderers often cried off because QP kept beating them). Corinthian v QP similarly.
- So wikipedia should not be picking on one random game and elevating it into something that it was not. In period this was not as crucial a match as, say, an FA Cup semi. Also by this time Scots clubs were struggling against English because the Scots were still anti-professional (hence SFA banning them from playing against pros in the FA Cup).
- Otherwise the logic is to bring out all of the other matches as well and that becomes ridiculous. It seems a solution in search of a problem. "We have all these sources." A majority of Cup matches have more sources. To pick one from the same season at random, Liverpool Stanley v Halliwell has different reports in the Liverpool Mercury, Liverpool Daily Post, and Athletic & Football Field, the Sheffield Independent and the Birmingham Post. Same day incidentally as Preston 26-0 Hyde - which does NOT have a page... In Vitrio (talk) 16:37, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Debatable as to whether Simon Clifford is notable (personally I don’t think he is). Wording in the article seems exaggerated at points. Manager of Garforth Town at two different stages but don’t think this is notable enough to warrant his own article. Two noted athletes graduated from his system, but if everyone was to get an article based on a couple of people graduating from their system, then there would be tons of articles. I can see an argument from people who argue that he is notable however. A merger with relevant articles could also be possible, but don’t think Clifford is notable enough for his own standalone article, which also has other problems. However, a discussion on whether it should be deleted or another option be taken is the best way to go. Fats40boy11 (talk) 08:15, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

The Daily Telegraph, May 1996, focused on Juninho, but about Brazilian soccer skills in the primary school where Clifford was teaching; also the Telegraph, Oct 1997, article by Clifford about his approach to learning soccer skills; The Guardian, Jan 1998, about a BBC NW documentary about Clifford's trip to Brazil and what came of it; When Saturday Comes, Dec 2004; also Guardian, Nov 2005, titled "Why Woodward's coach had to leave Southampton"; The Times, Mar 2006, lengthy piece that includes the sentence "It is scarcely any wonder that the BBC is making a six-part fly-on-the-wall documentary about Clifford."; i News, June 2020 (already in article); and, as mentioned above, plenty more recent stuff on Google News. As well as he founded Brazilian Soccer Schools which, according to the hype for a one-hour interview on BBC Radio Leeds in 2011, had more than 2 million children worldwide enrolled. It'd be good if anyone had time and interest enough to rewrite the article in a less advertorial manner. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Miss Asia Quest 1969
Non-notable run-of-the-mill beauty contest. With no references, fails both verifiability and notability.

Similar pages covering supporting characters from this comic strip were nominated for deletion (by myself) due to WP:GNG and WP:FANCRUFT at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wally (Dilbert), and a consensus to redirect to List of Dilbert characters was reached. There is no significant standalone coverage of this character, the page shares the same flaws as the previous nominated pages, and the previous consensus sets a precedent for redirecting. The only non-primary source is an interview with the creator, apparently mislabeled as being from The New York Times as it in fact appears self-published, which hardly qualifies. Thusly I am now nominating it for the same reasons, with a proposal to also redirect it to the list as was done previously. Joyce-stick (talk) 02:42, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. I found WP:THREE articles on Newspapers.Com like this one [37]https://www.newspapers.com/image/136046878/ and added them to the article. In this one, the writer distinguishes between the character Dilbert and the comic strip Dilbert and there appears to me to be WP:SIGCOV of him. Hard to believe that a character who was on the cover of 5 national magazines in a week (Fortune, Newsweek, etc.) in the 1990s and had his own Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor would be up for deletion on Wikipedia. Watch your back, Snoopy! BBQboffin (talk) 04:17, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. I'm not sure you understand what significant coverage entails in the context of WP:FICTION. The sourced information (essentially, Dilbert was merchandised, promoted in magazines, and had a voice actor play him once) lacks substance- it is WP:TRIVIA. All it proves is that there was at one time a marketing push to improve the comic strip's popularity, and that does not prove Dilbert the character is a notable subject independent of the strip. I can't verify if the sources make any significant commentary on the character or not, as they're all paywalled, but if there is any significant critical commentary about the character within those sources, it should be added appropriately. Edit: I see the new information has been fleshed out further. That's a very interesting piece of trivia about Scott Adams' answering machine, but it's still trivia and seems more like commentary on the creator than the character. If we had more sources like that quote discussing the character's appeal, it could be a case for notability, but my opinion is overall unchanged for the moment. If the consensus is to delete the page, I'd say those sources are probably worth merging into the list of characters and/or the pages covering Adams and the comic strip when redirecting.

- Keep. I can't believe this AfD is even being discussed. First off, I have no problem with the secondary characters in this comic being grouped into one article, and I'm also not a fan of the political inanity Scott Adams had facepalmed into in recent years. However, it's not correct to say the deletion of Wally's article "sets a precedent for redirecting." Each article's notability is determined on it's on.
- From the 1990s through the early 2000s Dilbert was one of the leading comic strips in the world and the character of Dilbert was everywhere. If we say this character isn't notable, I don't know how we can justify keeping any articles about comic characters including Garfield, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and so on. As for references to support the notability of this character, here are a few that specifically focus on the character, not the overall comic. Note that many of the unlinked articles can be found and read through the Wikipedia Library.
- In 1997, Time Magazine named the character of Dilbert one of the "25 Most Influential Americans." and Dilbert was also featured on that issue's cover. Hard to argue that a comic book character isn't notable when he's named among the most influential people in a year. (Citation: "TIME's 25 Most Influential Americans, Apr. 21, 1997."
- The character of Dilbert was on the cover of Newsweek’s August 12, 1996 issue, with the associated article described the character as the strip's "eponymous hero" and explored why people were drawn to this character. (Citation: "Working in Dilbert's World" by Steven Levy, Newsweek, August 12, 1996, pages 52-57.
- "Social" by Ben Zimmer, the NY Times, April 3, 2010, where the character of Dilbert is called the "the Everyman of cubicle culture."
- "Seven Days a Geek" from the Democrat and Chronicle, Dec. 29, 1995, which was shared above, is absolutely proof of notability for its analysis of the character. This is a major article in a reputable newspaper. We do not dismiss reliable news sources by saying "All it proves is that there was at one time a marketing push to improve the comic strip's popularity" b/c you could say the same about a lot of media coverage.
- "Both Everyman and Other: 'Dilbert' as an Exemplar of Newspaper Comics' Simultaneous Identification and Distance" by Julie A. Davis, International Journal of Comic Art 11 no2 176-94 Fall 2009, which describes the character of Dilbert as a "stereotypical computer nerd."
- "When Dilbert speaks on ethics, Lockheed Martin listens; defense contractor employs the comics-page character to train employees to handle tough questions of conduct" by Steven Ginsberg, The Washington Post, 1997.
- "Why We Love Dilbert" by Bob Lee, Issues & Observations. 1996, Vol. 16 Issue 1, p7.
- "DILBERT: Office geek, cyber nerd and now info hunk," Globe & Mail, July 6, 1996, which states of the character that "Some fans have suggested that Dilbert is a digital-class warrior, rallying the white collar workers of the world."
- "THE ILLUSTRATED GEEK" by Stuart Turton, PC Pro, Jan 2013, Issue 219, which says "It's a far cry from the early days of the web, when geek comics were dominated by the weekly belittling of Dilbert - the office automaton being ordered around by a clueless manager in a shirt and tie. Dilbert resonated with every IT worker whose boss had more desk than brain."
- The Geek Gap Why Business And Technology Professionals Don't Understand Each Other And Why They Need Each Other to Survive by Bill Pfleging, Prometheus 2009 page 109. where Mr. Spock and Dilbert are described as a "pop culture icons."
- Information, Technology, and Innovation Resources for Growth in a Connected World by John M. Jordan, 2012, Whiley, page 148, where the character of Dilbert is called "cubicle America's cultural icon."
- I could go on with the citations referencing the notability of this character (including a number of citations about the character of Dilbert being licensed). Again, back in the 1990s and early 2000s the character of Dilbert was everywhere. It's one thing to not have articles on minor or secondary characters in a notable comic strip like this. It's quite another to suggest that a comic strip character described as a "cultural icon" not have an article.--SouthernNights (talk) 13:07, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per above. I find that these kinds of fictional character AFDs become all about different peoples interpretation of GNG and Significant Coverage. Those with very high standards will look at the above and say all those mentions are trivial, or they lack "analysis" or that it can't be significant coverage unless its multiple paragraphs about the character. Personally I think the above is plenty to show the character Dilbert has real world notability and so there is no reason to delete the page. Rhino131 (talk) 13:23, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. I believe that these many sources have sufficiently changed my opinion that the character of Dilbert is distinctly notable as opposed to the previously redirected non-notable supporting cast that were discussed in the previous nomination. As such, I am electing to Withdraw this nomination and will accordingly close the discussion shortly. Thank you all for your comments. Joyce-stick (talk) 13:41, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Fails GNG. I refused a CSD on it because it didn't quite qualify, but the company is simply non-notable, too small, too new, and fails GNG. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:18, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Speedy delete A7; there is no secondary sourcing about this company (which needs to meet WP:NCORP) apart from a press release in America Daily Post, which is blacklisted so I can't even put the url here. If the only source doesn't meet WP:ORGIND, I don't see why the CSD was declined. ~StyyxTalk? 00:43, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- A lack of secondary sourcing isn't a valid CSD criteria. See WP:CSD. The criteria is very strict, and this didn't pass any of the available criterias for speedy, or I would have. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:55, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry but I still don't see how this isn't a direct A7. ~StyyxTalk? 01:18, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- A7 requires there is no CLAIM of notability, and they are making a claim. If they make a claim of notability but provide zero proof, you still can't A7 it. A7 is a very tough one to pass. Had I A7'ed it, I would expect to be dragged to WP:XRV to explain why I CSD'ed something that doesn't qualify. Trust me, it doesn't qualify. I've been down this road for 16 years dealing with CSD criteria. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:54, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
