Seems a case of WP:SYNTH, which uses sources that mention Kapampangan culture in general without mentions of separatism or independence movements. The movement is a fringe movement at best which has yet to garner significant third party attention. Only source which does imply separatism is a self published blog by a certain Michael Pangilingan and more mainstream proposals by politicians tackling the possible setup of the Pampanga region in a federal Philippines.

There is no exists something called "Shakira Studies" in media and academic circles. Beyond this, most of major music acts have received dedicated scholarly articles but there is not a justification in this case to have a separate article because she's not a recognized "topic" among scholars. There is not exists citations from one academic to other, among others essencial stuffs in the scholarship discourse. In addition, current article doesn't present any relevant view from academic fields. This is a WP:CFORK of the Cultural impact of Shakira and an inspired-article in the Madonna studies (WP:OTHERSTUFF), which has been a very exceptional case in the international academia world from a musician.

- Keep - I personally believe that although it is too early for an article like this to be expanded, Shakira is a force to be reckoned with in terms of Latin culture and many times, at least in my university, she has been taken as an example of her success and legacy. PasandolaYourpower (talk) 22:56, 7 March 2022 (UTC) — PasandolaYourpower (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of AlexanderShakifan29 (talk · contribs).
- Like I said, pop stars usually have received scholarly attention from articles to courses, but the problem is creating a whole article (starting from a title that virtually doesn't exists by third-party sources) and when 5 or 10 scholarly articles, or 5 courses doesn't make you an established topic. The literature about her in the academic world is poor and not officially "recognized" by others authoritative sources. Academic's point of view on Shakira is not articulated; take an imaginary example of a comment from one eminent academic and hasn't been discussed/cited etc by other academics and from an international sphera; that's a normal process in socio-cultural perspectives in academia world. This doesn't happen to Shakira, and with the article as a whole. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 23:05, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

We could change the title of the article to something more appropriate, but it has sources and everything to be a good article in the future. In these times, Shakira is already given the recognition she deserves. PasandolaYourpower (talk) 23:36, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: there is already Cultural impact of Shakira and Bibliography of works on Shakira... this seems to be splitting Shakira articles down into ever smaller detail, when they could be merged. Richard3120 (talk) 23:59, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Most of those sources seem to be social commentary in pop culture magazines, journalism, opinion pieces, etc. Are there any reliable secondary sources in the article that establish notability for a field called "Shakira studies"? Do any of those sources explicitly use the term "Shakira studies"? -- Scyrme (talk) 14:32, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
Delete - The article is essay-like, and as far as I can tell the sources do not establish notability for its topic, namely an academic field called "Shakira studies". Large parts are evidently copied, including sources, so I don't see what's worth merging. (eg. from Cultural impact of Shakira#Multiculturalism) -- Scyrme (talk) 14:32, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

This doesn't appear to be a notable con. It only has minor local coverage, if anything and doesn't appear to have much else in the way of coverage outside of fanblogs. Despite having several notable names appear, it just doesn't have the coverage. CUPIDICAE💕 19:18, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Poorly sourced stub about a non-notable writer. A search finds this article, but I don't know how WP:RS Publishers Weekly is, and in any case one source isn't enough to establish notability. Fails general WP:GNG and specific WP:AUTHOR notability.

- Keep. Conventionally, an author can usually pass WP:NAUTHOR with two WP:NBOOK-notable books. In addition to the Publishers' Weekly profile/interview from the nom, I found some reviews. Monkey King: kirkus (starred) booklist (starred) PW (starred) school library journal. Jade War: kirkus booklist (starred). PW doesn't have a full review of the sequel, just a nod in a list of noteworthy sequels; no mention of the sequel at SLJ. (As a general tip, looking at the publisher's page for a book can be a good way to find published reviews, since they like to quote from them.) I interpret that as two NBOOK passes and therefore an NAUTHOR pass. The PW profile gives a useful amount of biographical information that allows for a meaningful author profile to be written, and there is also a kirkus interview. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:59, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, implied in my !vote but I should state it -- I consider PW a standard RS for book reviews. Kirkus, PW, and Booklist are not the most selective review venues (ie they're not slam-dunk for notability the way a NYT or LARB review would be) but the starred reviews are much more distinctive, so the first one is a clear pass with 3 starred reviews, and it's the star at booklist that really pushes the second one over the line for NBOOK for me. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:03, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment — two things: 1) a book review may make the book notable, but not its author, unless it provides sigcov of the latter; and 2) even if you accept that two notable books makes the author inherently notable, where is the second notable book? A book having been written does not automatically make it notable. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:17, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- @DoubleGrazing I missed the second book reading the comment too, because it's buried in the list of review links. That's Jade War, which has both a Kirkus review and the starred Booklist one. -- asilvering (talk) 02:03, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- 1) WP:AUTHOR states that an author is notable if they have
created ... a significant or well-known work or collective body of work
which has beenthe primary subject of ... multiple independent periodical articles or reviews
. There is no requirement for sigcov of the author. NAUTHOR is unusual, like WP:NPROF, for allowing persons to derive notability from their works even when there is no direct biographical coverage. However, in this case we also have two RS profiles of the author in addition to the reviews. 2) WP:NBOOK states that a book is notable if it hasbeen the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include ... reviews.
The second book has two published reviews. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 02:31, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. LEvalyn has demonstrated the two WP:NBOOK passes. I think it's worth adding that the second book only just came out, so this is more an "already two reviews" situation than an "only two reviews" situation. As for "what's the point in a biographical article that is only a sentence long" - that's an argument against stubs, not this stub in particular, and to expand this one we do have biographical info - see for example this extensive profile in PW: [8] (to answer nom's question - this is the trade journal for publishing in the USA). -- asilvering (talk) 02:26, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

- Delete — non notable individual who lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them. Furthermore, this is something very advanced anti spam editors like Praxidicae already know, but for those not familiar with the laughable antics of Spam/UPE, editors, this gimmick, & this one too, are intentional gaslighting maneuvers intended to put Praxi or any editor querying their dubious edits on the defensive but unfortunately for them this isn’t Praxi's first rodeo. Furthermore @Kathyspikes no! nobody is draftyfing a non notable paid job. Furthermore this edit is disingenuous and borders on outrightly being mendacious as you are the article creator.

- Keep There's plenty of articles on it, and going forward there certainly will be more. This article is probably going to grow as the situation unfolds, so it makes sense to me to have a separate article, for space reasons, as the Kyiv offensive (2022) article is otherwise likely to be too big. Deathlibrarian (talk) 20:13, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Deathlibrarian: You need to be careful not to blur the lines between an encyclopedia and a news outlet. Wikipedia is not responsible for reporting news, but notable subjects. Take a read of the wikilinks in my !vote below. Your rationale that, quote, "it makes sense to me to have a separate article, for space reasons", is unfortunately in itself not a valid reason to keep. Let me say that if the invasion is still going in perhaps a month or so and this convoy remains exactly the same, unmoved and unchanged with tons of reporting, then the case is "stronger", depending on the reporting of it. There really is not much to say about a convoy without unnecessary bloat of information that is more pertinent to the invasion itself. Bungle (talk • contribs) 20:45, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Merge back a trimmed version to parent article then Delete, where do you start with this? It's a convoy, WP:NOTNEWS. Furthermore, part of the article (Reasons section) is basically just WP:SPECULATION, while other parts are just discussing the invasion itself not directly related to.. the convoy. I am sure Deathlibrarian means well, but this is just not a sustainable article as things stand. Yes, it's curious when reading reports on it, in the news, but in relation to the invasion only. Can redirect if desired, but I see little point really. Bungle (talk • contribs) 20:39, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- 15,000 soldiers and hundreds of tanks and trucks... is not your average convoy! If it was just an unimportant convoy, it wouldn't have numerous articles written about it, trying to assess it's size, its lethality, and what its current situation is. There is a lot of worldwide attention on this convoy...and the future of Kyiv..and therefore Ukraine depends on what happens to it.Deathlibrarian (talk) 22:33, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- "and the future of Kyiv..and therefore Ukraine depends on what happens to it." - this is speculation. We don't know anything at this time. What if next week, or next month, another few convoys of similar size appear? Do we have an article for those too? At this time, this is news. It's quite an important bit of news in relation to the invasion and it may become something more significant in time, but it is not an encyclopedic subject right now, and may never be. Bungle (talk • contribs) 22:37, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- May be the future of the Ukraine is speculation, but the future of Kyiv is pretty closely linked to a 60 kilometre long convoy that is coming to siege it!. Also, the President is in Kyiv, and so far has vowed not to leave. It's not likely for there to be another convoy of this size appearing anytime soon, as US defence intel reports Russia has just about committed all its troops...they have left staging areas, and they are now inside Ukraine. Deathlibrarian (talk) 22:42, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- If it is primarily responsible for a siege on Kyiv, then maybe we'll have Siege of Kyiv (2022) or something similar, as a hypothetical notable future event. A convoy is not a notable event. It's a convoy. It hasn't even done anything yet. At best (and this is me stretching my faith perhaps a little far), it's WP:TOOSOON, but likely any event that comes about as a direct result of the actions of this convoy will in all probability have more of a chance to satisfy an article in its own right as a potentially notable event.

- Nice one I think that's an interesting idea and probably notable idea for a page - there's plenty of articles discussing it, and it's general so doesn't really apply to any particular offensive. Overall, if fully fleshed out, it would be substantive enough to have its own article. Deathlibrarian (talk) 01:45, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- Merge into Kyiv offensive (2022). I don't discount that this particular convoy may eventually become notable as a standalone subject, but it's a bit too early to have forks for very specific aspects of one battle which isn't even over. Atchom (talk) 22:21, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment as nom. I think that merging is probably better than blanking and redirecting it at this point. It's clear that some of the content is going to be usable in a fuller version of a Kyiv Offensive (2022) article that focuses on narrative prose rather than being a pseudo-list. The convoy narrative deserves mention in that offensive's article, if nothing else to describe the state of the offensive's logistics, but a merge is superior to a redirect at this point, in my book. — Mhawk10 (talk) 22:26, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. The wording, especially in the lead, needs to be either corrected to the past tense or {{asof}}'d (see WP:RELTIME) so that in the hypothetical case that nobody does any more edits, the article still remains accurate. The content itself has been very widely commented on in WP:RS, and could possibly characterise a key turning point in the invasion: either leading to a rapid collapse of the Russian invasion, or possibly a quagmire attempt to occupy Kyiv. The convoy may also turn into a major component of Russian conscript fatalities ("sitting ducks"). This seems to me to be a justified split from Kyiv offensive (2022). Boud (talk) 17:20, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Per Boud (I've already rewritten the lede a bit), as well as the observation that Kyiv offensive (2022) currently barely even mentions the convoy/column anywhere. It has so far barely had any direct impact on the battle of Kyiv or its environs yet (most attacks are coming from the east). As its strategic objectives are still unclear, let alone what it will do in the future, its activities are still distinct. That, as well as the fact that merging them would create a lot of confusion and lack of overview, justifies two separate articles (for now). Obviously, we should remain cautious that the stall might not be as problematic and damaging as it might seem (some speculate all too soon that the convoy will soon be entirely crippled, but such claims may be influenced more by wishful thinking than evidence), and that the convey probably still has a lot of offensive potential. I also note that several news reports don't call it the 'Kyiv convoy' or anything, but just refer to its length (e.g. 'Russia's 64km-long military convoy') rather than speculating on its destination (which could be wrong). For now, I think the title is okay, just because virtually all RS were/are expecting it to eventually attack Kyiv, but there are many things we do not know at this point. Some claims remain unsourced, I've put up citations needed for those, but generally, all sources here are RS and most claims are backed by those RS.

- Keep the level of media attention is sufficient for an article, it may become a major turning point in the war one way or the other MaitreyaVaruna (talk) 04:23, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment All unsourced claims have now been removed or verified by RS. Irrelevant speculations have been removed, duplications have been deleted, and incorrect claims about drone strikes have been corrected (note: all drone strikes reported so far have occurred elsewhere in Ukraine, such as Sumy and Brovary, but not at this convoy; I recommend users to read news reports very carefully and avoid mixing events and locations up. So far, Ukrainian troops appear to have only used ground fire against the convoy). The latest information suggests that several units of the convoy are splitting up to seize and control certain strategic locations in the areas northwest of Kyiv rather than marching straight towards Kyiv, providing yet more evidence for the view that it is to be described separately from Kyiv offensive (2022), and really doesn't meet the definition of a WP:REDUNDANTFORK, but does fall within WP:SPINOFF, and therefore fails the nomination for deletion. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 13:03, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks for the tidy up, and removal of where things may have strayed from the sources, its's always good to have a second set of eyes look at things.I tried to address the citations needed tags in my last round of edits.

Deathlibrarian (talk) 14:41, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Everyone can make mistakes like that from time to time, including me. I also thought that Bronk had stated that drones had hit the convoy, but on listening closely a second time, he was talking about the earlier drone strikes that happened around Sumy and elsewhere, clarifying that in response to that, the Russian military has in fact increased air defences around the Kyiv convoy, making it difficult to replicate the earlier successes (at least with manned aircraft; he curiously didn't say how effective the TB2s might still be against the column. The National did give some information about that, so I mentioned that). Overall, I think you've done a good job of providing revelant information from RS, thank you for that. There's a lot of political, military, strategic, logistical etc. talk about this convoy, what it has done and might do, and its strengths and weaknesses, so bringing all that knowledge together in a balanced Wikipedia article is important for the public. We'll see what happens next. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:06, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

I said above this could be WP:TOOSOON and stand by that, as its apparent notability is only inherited by the wider conflict. It's reported extensively in the news, but that doesn't mean it's got long-term notability when things move on. I think right now it's too early to say and the article is too much WP:CRYSTAL. I'll revise my !vote to merge back to the parent article until (or unless) we can demonstrate an independent notable subject from this. Bungle (talk • contribs) 20:13, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

The local recognition doesn't seem to reach the bar of notability at this time. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:30, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

- Please review the guidelines. Subject meets all notability qualifications and subject passes all 1-14 reasons for deletion. Uninvolved moderators usually do their due diligence. Thank you for your considerations.
- General notability guideline
- Shortcuts
- WP:GNG
- WP:SIGCOV
- A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
- "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
- The book-length history of IBM by Robert Sobel is plainly non-trivial coverage of IBM.
- Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton, that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band.
- "Reliable" means that sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.
- "Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
- "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent.
- "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.
- If a topic does not meet these criteria but still has some verifiable facts, it might be useful to discuss it within another article.
- 1.Content that meets at least one of the criteria for speedy deletion
- 2.Copyright violations and other material violating Wikipedia's non-free content criteria
- 3.Vandalism, including inflammatory redirects, pages that exist only to disparage their subject, patent nonsense, or gibberish
- 4.Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content
- 5.Content forks (unless a merger or redirect is appropriate)
- 6.Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and hoaxes
- 7.Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed
- 8.Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP, and so forth)
- 9.Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons
- 10.Redundant or otherwise useless templates
- 11.Categories representing overcategorization
- 12.Files that are unused, obsolete, or violate the non-free policy
- 13.Any other use of the article, template, project, or user namespace that is contrary to the established separate policy for that namespace
- 14.Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia 2601:5C5:201:CB80:ED94:17F:37D4:DB25 (talk) 19:03, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. I've removed the worst of the sources (Tumblr and Blogspot, for example. See WP:RSP). Then I removed the sources that didn't even mention him, which were at least three of them. What's left is paltry. The Curb Consulting Ventures, ng-check.com, and nigeria24.me sources are all routine company listings, which are examples of trivial coverage (see WP:CORPDEPTH). That leaves the Africa: Journal source, but it's behind a paywall so I cannot access it; and an interview in The Burg, which is therefore not independent. Basically, what's left is a CV for LinkedIn, not WP. --Kbabej (talk) 19:32, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

BilledMammal (talk) 01:53, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
I doubt Wikipedians will buy into the idea that a source doesn't count because it doesn't mention where the subject was born.Besides that, the source DOES state where he was born and where he competed: "Clyde Coffman was born in Ford in 1911 and started with the University of Kansas track and field team as a pole-vault specialist." It further provides that he competed in the 1932 Olympics in the Decathalon. YEEESH. That's EXACTLY the kind of information we seek! There is no place for such blatant bias here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:54, 9 March 2022 (UTC)- Apologies, I was not clear. I meant that it states where he was born and what he competed in without elaborating on it; essentially, it is statistics in prose form, and so is not WP:SIGCOV.

- Delete none of the sources amount to providing actual imdepth coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:44, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- WP:SIGCOV doesn't really define the term in-depth coverage - however, it does provide a definition of significant coverage-- "addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Calling for such "in-depth" coverage is beyond the standard.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:17, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. I find BilledMammal's assessment more convincing than Paul McDonald's. Lacks significant coverage. Pilaz (talk) 19:34, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Sportspeople are measured on their numerical productivity so to speak. If there are sources that give significant coverage about him through his performances, that's fine, doesn't matter if they are measuring him by numbers and that doesn't invalidate him. Sportspeople are judged on how much they score/speed etc just as businesspeople are measured on $$ and academics on how many papers/citations they get. Based on the reasoning I have seen, this implies the ludicrous notion that a person becomes more notable if there is some qualitative 'human interest' info about them eg marital status/early life/no of children. Bumbubookworm (talk) 14:10, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- That is not my reasoning; my reasoning is that to have significant coverage we need more than basic statistics. WP:NOTDATABASE speaks to this; "To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources". With only basic statistics, as we have here, we cannot put the data in context - but explanations limited to his sporting career and not covering the rest of his life would address this, and thus be acceptable.

- Keep. First off, he clearly passes WP:NATH#5, which is enough to meet WP:N's requirement that an article
meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG)
. Secondly, the athlete additionally meets WP:GNG. The biographical article written about him over twenty years after his death and the NYT Piece each give significant coverage of the individual; each articleaddresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content
. We may have a short article on our hands until someone can figure out a way to look for old news articles on newspapers.com without having to go through an inordinate amount of sports tables, but there's still enough here to indicate that the person himself is notable. — Mhawk10 (talk) 22:18, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

A movie with "one" review at RottenTomatoes, and a "reception" from a wordpress page. The movie exists, but the best I could find were a few lines here, other sources are more like this one or this one. Not enough to show notability. Fram (talk) 16:34, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Delete - neither assertion nor evidence of notability. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:35, 7 March 2022 (UTC)- Keep, 2 reviews. One by a Rotten Tomatoes critic and another at TV Guide [11]. DonaldD23 talk to me 18:22, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Just a quick Google search found reviews from the LA Times ([12]) and the New York Times([13]). Maybe people could consider doing a decent Google search before !voting in future? --Michig (talk) 18:51, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep, as there are sufficient reviews of this as noted above. In addition, I found this review from The South Bend Tribune and this one by The Atlanta Constitution, which are both fairly in-depth and cover the subject matter significantly. I have expanded the article with these and believe it's enough to pass WP:NFILM. Bungle (talk • contribs) 21:09, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - I don't understand why this was nominated. It's a big WP:BEFORE failure. There was widespread coverage and reviews when it was released - heck not to mention the legal action when they fired the director. Has a widely-released North American film ever been not notable - even the bombs? I've expanded the article as well as adding further references. There's no doubt it needed improving - but try and improve before deleting. Perhaps User:Fram can withdraw - or expand on what is the issue with this topic? Can User:Orangemike review his delete, with the subsequent improvements. As for User:Johnpacklambert, you have once again cast out the first stone on a nomination without doing a proper BEFORE. You are a regular here - you should know better. Nfitz (talk) 05:57, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- I would like to think Orangemike, an admin with 15+ years WP experience, may want to reconsider his !vote in light of the recent expansion and nom withdrawal from Fram, but I have no hope whatsoever that JPL will reconsider. Still, this in all likelihood with end with a keep as it stands, so I guess it is inconsequential. Bungle (talk • contribs) 21:06, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- Witthdrawn as nominator (can't close it, there are delete votes). Just a few points: I did do a "before" search, as can be seen in the nom. When doing my search again, I see that I somehow missed the LA Times review, which I should have seen. The other newspaper reviews don't appear in my results. "Has a widely-released North American film ever been not notable - even the bombs? " Probably not, but I had no indication at all that this movie was ever widely released and not a very limited release instead. All in all, a clearly notable film, but this was not clear at all from the article and (apart from that one review I should have noticed) not clear from my "before" search either, perhaps because after the initial release it was all but forgotten. Still, should not have been an AfD. Fram (talk) 08:14, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- I found the reviews I mentioned by searching for "Murder One" "Henry Thomas" as the title alone will give a lot of irrelevant results. I can see that you did a WP:BEFORE - the two delete !voters however showed no evidence of having done anything. --Michig (talk) 10:04, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. I definitely see the problem at the time of nomination, as it cited no reliable sources at all, but the article's been improved significantly since. The challenge is that not every database offers equal access to every newspaper in existence — a person who searches Newspapers.com is not going to find Globe and Mail or Toronto Star hits that way, for example, and a person who searches ProQuest's Canadian Newsstream collection is not going to find any non-Canadian coverage that way, because each database can only find coverage from papers that it has in its collection to search — so I'd suggest not piling on Fram, who obviously acted in good faith based on the resources they had access to. Bearcat (talk) 14:54, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Fram is an experienced editor who is more than capable of checking historic news sources (which are free via the wikipedia library to experienced editors) although seemingly only the easy-access google books/news sources where searched. I can understand some people could forget about, or not (yet) have access to newspapers.com et al, but Fram PRODded within 2 hours of creation and sent to discussion a few hours after that, so not really affording time for others to develop it a little more. This is academic anyway as Fram has, in all fairness, accepted this in the withdrawal above and the conclusion now seems inevitable. Bungle (talk • contribs) 18:23, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- I can't say, User:Bearcat, that I'm particularly familiar with User:Fram - but a newspaper.com search found evidence of the movie opening in the spring, as well as a widespread release across other parts of North America in the fall, with lots of reviews. A Proquest search through Wikipedia would at least let you see the Globe and Star hits, without being able to open them, if you toggled on "Show results outside my library's subscription". There's more than enough information readily available to avoid nominating. But we all have off-days. Even then, I don't think it's best practice be nominating Canadian articles without having good access to Canadian databases. I'm more concerned though that User:Johnpacklambert keeps on voting Delete with little evidence of Before, despite their current sanction on creating AFDs (and I'm surprised that User:Orangemike hasn't reviewed their vote - but I've no concerns in that direction either).

The notability guidelines at WP:NTENNIS have changed since this article was last nominated for deletion.

- @Fyunck(click): I already answered your glib question. Guidelines for WP:NTENNIS have been changed due to wider-ranging discussion about sports notability at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Sports notability #3. To clarify, I am not looking to randomly delete tennis article and have pointless discussions - the whole purpose of AfD's are to question notability and garner a consensus on such and these three articles were examples of articles that have previously met WP:NTENNIS but now don't all of a sudden. If I was certain that the article was non-notable I would've done a WP:PROD. Bonoahx (talk) 09:46, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per above comments the player seems to weakly pass GNG on the article, there is a bit more online to add to the article. Bonoahx If you don't do WP:BEFORE and are flat down nominating articles, this can get you in serious trouble. This isn't a warning, more of a suggestion.

The player no longer meet the recent changes to WP:NTENNIS, that deems notability as winning a title above ITF 50k.

- Per WP:LOCALCONSENSUS,
WikiProject advice pages, how-to and information pages, and template documentation pages have not formally been approved by the community through the policy and guideline proposal process, thus have no more status than an essay.
As such, arguments based on it have no weight at AFD. BilledMammal (talk) 06:20, 9 March 2022 (UTC)- They absolutely do have weight. WikiProjects have never been relegated to obsolescence. Wikipedia guidelines are also guidelines, not policy. There are many items that standard guidelines cannot conceive of and it's why WikiProjects are so vital to take the weight off of really important items that the encyclopedia has to deal with. Are the weights different... of course... but Tennis Project will continue to use their guidelines along with other wikipedia guidelines to make a determination on things. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:36, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- To quote more of the policy at WP:LOCALCONSENSUS,
For instance, unless they can convince the broader community that such action is right, participants in a WikiProject cannot decide that some generally accepted policy or guideline does not apply to articles within its scope.
This means that an essay at Wikiproject Tennis cannot be used to support keeping an article that fails WP:GNG. BilledMammal (talk) 06:41, 9 March 2022 (UTC)- They have since the beginning of Wikipedia, and that's not going to change. The general populous of Wikipedia doesn't have the time or where-with-all to go through what a WikiProject has to go through day in and day out. Every tennis article would be vandalized, unreadable, filled with conjecture, and unstructured. Our guideline has been scrutinized by 100s of editors through the years. It has been used by administrators and advanced editors to fine-tune many tennis Featured Articles. It's not some willy-nilly set of guidelines. It has developed over a decade and has had much input on the project talk page. It has weight and cannot just be dismissed. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:14, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- That might have been the case at the beginning of Wikipedia, but that is not the case now. If you want the essay at Wikiproject Tennis to be relevant here you either need to have it accepted as a guideline, or modify WP:CONSENSUS to allow such essays to be used as you want to use them. BilledMammal (talk) 09:16, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- Then it beggars the question as to why WP:NTENNIS has been changed so dramatically. I understand that there was a wide-ranging discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Sports notability regarding notability of players of all sports. Before this, the guidelines were such that it would've been an error on my part to nominate Bianca Fernandez or any other of the articles I nominated as it would have quite clearly met WP:NTENNIS. I think it's a good idea to discuss as to whether there's some room for improvement there, be it through consensus on AfD or other discussion. Bonoahx (talk) 09:40, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- There is room for improvement, through a careful proposal at WP:NSPORT that will fix the issues we had with the previous NTENNIS, that supported articles on non-notable individuals, like many of the ones you have now nominated, being kept. BilledMammal (talk) 09:51, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- No question there is always room for improvement and some players will always be iffy. However, as was mentioned in the series of nsport dialogs, they were not meant to be a green light to remove already existent articles by the bushload. It was really meant for things going forward. Wiki Guidelines have been over-ridden so many times since I've been here that my head spins from thinking about it. Sometimes from a consensus of two people. Wikiproject Tennis Guidelines usually work very well and it stops heaps and heaps of edit wars. Do some slip though... sure they do.... but you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Nsport is extremely general in nature and can't handle everything and that's where individual projects shine. They keep things running smoothly with the editors that actually have to deal with these issues day in and day out. We don't nominate and run, we have to stick it out in the tall weeds and mud. We've worked very hard on the Guidelines so that they work. Anyone who says they have zero weight and bearing on these issues is wrong. Fyunck(click) (talk) 10:18, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- I understand, and Bianca probably meets WP:GNG anyway, but I hope you can see where I am coming from as having entirely different guidelines in Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis/Article guidelines#Player to what are now the guidelines in WP:NTENNIS is extremely confusing, but there is a point to be made in that it reduces the number of short articles of players that have only played one or two matches in their entire career. The primary guideline that has been removed is a player is notable after having competed in the main draw of an ATP/WTA tournament or a grand slam. The current iteration of WP:NTENNIS would've potentially caused Emma Raducanu to be considered non-notable until after she won the 2021 US Open (there was obviously enough significant coverage before then, but that's besides the point).

- Delete. I've removed the YouTube sources per WP:RSPYT. After removing those, there are 8 sources left in the article. Half of those are the subject's songs; the Wes Bredenhof source is a blog, and thus unreliable; there are two Free Press Info sources, which are just press releases; and finally, there is the Disrupt Magazine piece which is clearly a regurgitated press release (you can also pay to have an article written about you, as seen on their website here). Not one RS for this article, and when I did a before, it was just more of the same press release churnalism. --Kbabej (talk) 16:35, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Just reverted your edits for the youtube links as according to WP:RSPYT you are allowed to link videos to verified youtube channels and the channel for the subject of this article is a verified offical artist channel thus making the citations to it reliable and valid. In reference to the articles blogs are reliable as it is a third party medium that has nothing to do with the subject of this article. Furthermore, the free press info source is not a press release as can be clearly seen that it has an author who wrote the article. Also, Disrupt magazine is also not a "regurgitated press release" because it also has a clear author and also we cannot claim that the subject of these article paid to have the article written. That is information that you and I do not have. Therefore putting speculations aside, the references used are deemed RS. Perth1991 (talk) 16:43, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

It is literally information I do have and I have posted it numerous times on various discussion boards here. It's not reliable and your attempt to push your way through is laughable. Unless, of course, you really think that a stock image of a random guy in a suit under the name "Thomas Philip" complete with a link to a random dude's insta named Ayush Mehta (who is an "online presence growth expert") is reliable...well, I have a bridge to sell you. CUPIDICAE💕 16:52, 7 March 2022 (UTC)- I still do not see beyond speculations as to how that discredits this from being RS.

Hoax? I can find no evidence of a company called "Smart Grade Company" or even just "Smart Grade" in Jamshedpur or Seoul, never mind one with a $1.5 billion revenue.

And then the trail stops again.

- Keep and improve, as there are secondary sources dealing with the topic. Critique on the current state of the article is well warranted, but summarizing from the primary sources is not original research. I am surprised that this paper, which does quite a bit of analysis on the foot clan/Shredder's "family", was not found in a proper WP:BEFORE search. In addition I've found this German book, which has a good paragraph of analysis on pages 124/125, fullfilling the miniumum requirement of WP:GNG. A short background bit can be found here. The current article can be used as a start, trimming plot summary, but keeping what amounts to the "publication history" of the Foot clan, and be improved with analysis from those sources - which in the end allow to fullfill both WP:WHYN and WP:ALLPLOT. Daranios (talk) 11:25, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per Daranios's argument and their excellent effort with locating the relevant sources. The article's contents does need a WP:TNT with most of its in-universe content purged, but that doesn't mean a concisely-written page about the fictional organization can't stay in mainspace. Haleth (talk) 15:15, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - Let this page stay. While it is a recurring villain organization that has fought the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I also agree with the claims of @Daranios: and @Haleth:. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:59, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. Interesting. I read the scholarly article found. The analysis contains: "The turtles, in opposition to the Ninja soldiers of Master Shredder's Foot Clan, internalize American ideals and assimilate cultural" and "In fact, its name-Foot Clan-and location-Little Tokyo- implies criticisms of "clannish-ness," a resistance to dispersion into the American community, and its refusal to sever-or at least modify- ties to Japan". The other times they are mentioned seem to be plot summary mentions. Overall, this is much better than I expected; sadly, I cannot verify what is written in the German book. If Daranios could be asked to add a sentence or two based on the German sources to the article, and given the short but not trivial analysis in the English article found, this, surprisingly enough, could be a keeper.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:45, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

- The Ninja Turtles are well documented for being created as a spoof of a popular story from Daredevil. Another parallel is that Daredevil gained his superpowers when a truck carrying toxic waste nearly hit him, and some of the waste was spilled on him. The turtles gained their mutant abilities when a truck carrying toxic waste missed a young boy and some of the waste spilled down a sewer drain. This information was no doubt available to the researcher. A reading of TMNT in terms of anti-Asian sentiment may be valid, but anyone who suggests the authors were "implying" such a bias missed the mark since the name and nationality of the villains was determined by a previous work. Ms. Cobb was inferring meaning where there was none. I'm curious if the paper makes any reference to the turtles' sensei being an exiled member of the Foot, of their being raised under it's uncorrupted principles, as acknowledging that would seem to undermine her argument.
- I have no plans to identify myself here, and therefore will not provide credentials, but I will say that I don't hesitate to put myself on even footing with Ms. Cobb with regards to this topic. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:03, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Argento Surfer: I in contrast have little background knowledge. But judging solely from the text, I see a number of arguments why I don't think there is a contradiction in the paper which would devalue it as a source. Most importantly, if my grasp of English does not fail me, "implies" can refer both to a person and a text. The intention of the creators of TMNT I think is never mentioned. The quoted sentence specifically refers to the impression the name and depiction of the Foot Clan makes. The argument, as I see it, is: the Foot Clan are the bad guys in the franchise, they are (in contrast to the Turtles) the unassimilated Japanese guys, and therefore give the concept of "Japanese Clan(ishness)" a bad press. Also, in contrast to the Hand from Daredevil, "Clan" has been added to the name, right? Interestingly, the second source, which I have now added, specifically mentions that it may or may not be intended by the authors, that there is a negative impression of foreignness in the respective movie, but that it's there. Daranios (talk) 13:16, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- I'm uncertain about the frequency of "clan" being used in Daredevil - I read that story once, and it's been a while. I'm unable to view more than the preview of the paper - is it focused specifically on the 1990 film? If so, the material might be better suited to that article instead of a Foot Clan article. Across the franchise, the Foot soldiers have been robots more often than they've been humans (of any nationality or race). Argento Surfer (talk) 13:53, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- As far as I have seen, the paper is not completely but mostly focussed on that one film. Daranios (talk) 16:20, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

- Weak keep. I think there is enough to meet the minimum standard of GNG. It's an interesting case because there is analysis of the origin and meaning of "foot clan" which may actually be factually incorrect. Even if that is true, it would not count against GNG or SIGCOV. Although it does show the pitfalls of insisting there be "analysis" for fictional characters to be kept at AFD- anybody can write anything about a topic and call it analysis.

Tl;dr definitely doesn't pass WP:GNG. Probably a complete or partial hoax.
Since this page came into creation, there has been basically 1 single source. There are some reprinted sources (for example, in the Ukrainian state media and [14]), but all stem from a single Facebook post by a local Facebook page. This Facebook page has basically 0 editorial integrity. No sources not citing this Facebook post exist; in essence, this entire article is basically just Ukrainian propaganda based on what one extremely biased person posted on Facebook. Searches in both English and Ukrainian yield no further sources not tied to this post.
I had initially merged this to Eastern Ukraine offensive, but was reverted by Magog the Ogre ([15]), who stated "this is a fast moving story and worthy of its own article". The only way this tortoise is fast moving is if the hare took a nap. Curbon7 (talk) 09:05, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

American filmmaker. This article has been variously deleted and salted for non-notability, but its latest incarnation ran into particular trouble at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mario Cerrito (2nd nomination), which was plagued by socks and whose "delete" closure was challenged at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2022 February 27, where I as the DRV closer decided to re-list the AfD in a hope at a cleaner discussion. Accordingly, this AfD has been protected against editing by new or anonymous accounts. This is a procedural nomination, I am neutral. Sandstein 07:27, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

The article notes: "Mario Cerrito was a car salesman. He was also an independent filmmaker with a dream. And he found a way to be both at the same time. ... It was March of 2013 and Cerrito had an idea for a poker movie, so he took advantage of the pacing of his job to work his dream into it. For an entire month, whenever Cerrito wasn’t talking to a customer, he was sitting at his desk, banging out his script on his computer. ... As an amateur poker player from New Jersey who loves the game, Cerrito observed more than his share of those gambling addicts who didn’t know how to manage their bankrolls or when to walk away, and he based his main character on some of them."

The article notes: "In the last five years, the Mantua resident has broken into the film industry as a rising horror film writer, director and producer. His most recent script, “The House in the Pines,” has kept Cerrito’s momentum moving forward. The script was signed off this month by Hollywood horror veteran Mick Strawn ... The 36-year-old Cerrito’s rise as a filmmaker coincides with the time he’s called Mantua home. Born and bred in South Jersey, Cerrito grew up in Audubon and went to high school in Woodstown before settling in Mantua five years ago with his wife, Charmaine, and their now 4-year-old son, Mario Cerrito IV, and his 11-year-old stepdaughter, Summer Schaefer."

Soon after, Cerrito was receiving messages from the far corners of the world about his movie. ...

The article notes: "As a horror writer, Mario Cerrito III is accustomed to having creepy characters living in his imagination. ... As the months passed, though, every member of the Cerrito household — his wife Charmaine, his 10-year-old stepdaughter Summer, and even 3-year-old Mario IV — experienced strange and increasingly scary phenomena. ... So with no formal film production training and a $10,000 budget, Mario released "Deadly Gamble" in 2015. (Mario has a tattoo on his right wrist with the intials "DG" and the release date 3-24-15 to memorialize the occasion.) ...

- Keep When I saw that the article had been recreated, I was immediately prepared to push for speedy deletion. Before I did so and after further review of the article, it was clear that Cerrito does have coverage in independent reliable and verifiable sources that is unambiguously about him and his work and that's why I voted Keep at the previous AfD (pre-DRV). The analysis that Cunard did thoroughly summarizes the review that I had done and it is abundantly clear that the notability standard is satisfied. Alansohn (talk) 01:54, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

- Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply.
- Assuming all the sources are reliable (except if obviously not such as a Blog or social media) and the publishers are corporately independent from the topic organization - but there's more requirements than that for establishing notability.
- As per WP:SIRS each reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability - the quantity of coverage is irrelevant, there can be 100 references but for the purposes of establishing notability we only require a minumum of two that each meet the criteria
- WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content".
- "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. This is usually the criteria where most references fail. References cannot rely only on information provided by the company, quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews fail ORGIND. Whatever is left over must also meet CORPDEPTH.
- Not a single reference either mentioned above or in the article meet the criteria. Everything relies on information provided by the company and I'm unable to find any "Independent Content". Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 16:29, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

There don't appear to be any independent, reliable sources about the subject himself. There are a few affiliated sources (his own website, his own YouTube channel, the website of a company he founded), and there are a few articles of questionable reliability and independence about buildings he designed, but nothing that is both reliable and independent about him. There is an assertion that he won a National Architecture Award, but the supporting citation doesn't mention his name anywhere.

The article on this actor does not establish general notability, and is also the work of blocked sockpuppets. There is also a draft, so that the article can be deleted rather than draftified. Since the acting notability guideline states that persons meeting the guideline are likely to be notable, a biography that both fails to meet general notability and was the work of sockpuppets should not be kept in article space, but should be in draft space for improvement by neutral editors. A review of the references shows that none of them can be considered secondary coverage:
Reference Number | Reference | Comments | Independent | Significant | Reliable | Secondary |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | thenews.com.pk | About Ruposh, passing mention of subject | Yes | No | Yes | No |
2 | dailytimes.com.pk | A puff piece for Ruposh that reads like an advertisement, passing mention of subject | No | No | Probably | No |
3 | imdb.com | Profile of subject | Yes | Yes | No | No |
4 | divaonline.com.pk | Another puff piece for Ruposh | No | No | N/A | No |
5 | dailypakistan.com.pk | About leading lady in Ruposh, passing mention of subject | Yes | No | Probably | No |
Also, the subject only marginally satisfies acting notability, with two leading television film roles, and two previous secondary television roles that are not major. Both of the articles on leading television film roles were also written by now-blocked sockpuppets. (I have tagged them as needing review for COI.) The puppeteers may be trying to create a walled garden, but that is a concern beyond the scope of this AFD. This article does not establish general notability. This article and the film articles are tainted by sockpuppetry. This article should be deleted. In view of the history of prior creation and deletion of articles on the subject, the title should be given Extended-Confirmed Create protection. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:51, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

- Keep (or Draftify if you must). The album has a confirmed release date in less than two months time and is certain to receive signifcant coverage closer to its release. --Michig (talk) 12:11, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Weak keep per Michig. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 12:50, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Draftify, since neither of the keep !votes gives an actual policy reason. Might be notable once released, but is not as of yet meeting GNG or NALBUM. Onel5969 TT me 13:33, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - I was about to do a source search, but there's enough already enough sourcing in the article to pass the GNG. Sergecross73 msg me 00:25, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Meets WP:FUTUREALBUM per above arguments. SBKSPP (talk) 01:16, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Draftify as I do not believe the sourcing meets standards for future albums. Can incubate and be moved back once it's released. Star Mississippi 02:26, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

- Draftify until actual reliable sources emerge. These? no. 1 and 3 are about word-for-word identical, and both are in the form of basic news announcements, not more. no. 2 is someone's instagram page. no. 5 streams 2 songs but says very little about the album. no. 4 is about the wrestler and how she loves the band and they wrote a song about her - but it's not significantly about the band, the album, or even the song. This all seems like regular, pre-issue publicity but I don't see any "in depth" sources. Lamona (talk) 05:14, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

- Weak keep I found many primary article and books when I ran a google search. The most reliable article which is not in the article currently but demonstrates some level of notability is in the Times UK. I also found a list in the GuardianInfiNeuro (talk) 18:05, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep In InfiNeuro's vote, the first source doesn't count toward notability, and I am unable to judge the Times article due to the paywall. However, the first of the two books cited as a reference in the article [19] does provide significant coverage. I am unable to judge the second book [20] due to its language, but found this bio [21] on the same site. Although this barely passes GNG, I believe that because of the subject's significant accomplishments and accolades, as well as the relevant (pre-internet) dates, further research must be conducted, especially in offline sources, to sufficiently demonstrate that the article should be deleted. Toadspike (talk) 03:33, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- I found two more sources. The first is much more valuable than the second [22] [23]. I am not sure if the first can be considered "independent", although the second likely can. Regardless, I still think searching offline sources is advisable. Toadspike (talk) 03:43, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep - there's a pretty strong assertion of notability in the article already, as the winner of what appears to be a notable award for Indian TV, and the number of roles seems solid enough to meet our requirements. Tony Fox (arf!) 17:34, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: That is not a big award at all. There are so many awards for TV and film actors these days. Also, just having award is not making him notable too. Laptopinmyhands (talk) 13:04, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete The award isn't notable as Laptopinmyhands has said. The single lead role isn't enough for NACTOR, even if one season of an Indian TV series is considered significant. The references are either the usual ToI churnalism fare or outright interviews and not enough for WP:GNG. Hemantha (talk) 12:00, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

WP:NORG concern. Even when searching "ক্যান্টনমেন্ট বোর্ড বালক উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়" I was unable to find any WP:ORGDEPTH coverage.
