Looks to be largely the product of original research, and though it has a lot of citations, all of them that I checked named the subject in passing (and often were Primary sources, which per WP:BASIC do not contribute to notability), or didn't name the subject at all. In many cases, the citations are nothing more than external links to the home pages of the named entities, and in no way document the subject's association with them or otherwise documenting the claims made in the text in the least. The level of personal detail (such as linking to his infant daughter's birth-announcement webpage, that doesn't even name the subject) and seemingly irrelevant celebrity photographs makes me think it might be a WP:PLUG/vanity page.

Welcome to Wikipedia on this, your first ever edit. Please note that passing reference does not established WP:NOTABILITY even if it is relevant, and that building an article based on such passing reference may constitute WP:Original Research, which is prohibited.

I coped and pasted from the last edit, my mistake:) still learning syntax NormaMarkam (talk 15:17, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Thanks for helping with my syntax, however, I must disagree with you WP:Original Research tag. Wikipedia seems to define Original Research as- The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist.[1] I have looked over the subject page and can see no evidence of facts, allegations, and ideas that are not reliably sourced. NormaMarkam (talk 15:22, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Taking a picture of a person with a celebrity, uploading that picture, then citing the picture as a source for the statement that the subject often hangs with celebrities - that is quintiscential Original Research. The list of organizations to which the subject belongs, that is all unsourced. Original Research (unless it is outright invention). That he has a daughter, citing a page on the baby that doesn't name the parents? That is original research. When it says "Lambert sold his interests in Compound and moved to Thailand in 2006" it cites a news item that doesn't name Lambert and doesn't name Thailand. That is Original Research. When it says "Following a year break, Lambert moved to Sydney, Australia in 2007. Lambert met Kingsley Smith (founder of Kingsley's Restaurant Group) and formed & led the IPO" the cited source says nothing about a year off, nothing about moving to Sydney, nothing about meeting Kingsley Smith, and nothing about an leading an IPO. When it says "Lambert is a Master's candidate at Harvard Extension School, Cambridge, Massachusetts, pursuing a Masters of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies (ALM)- Management" it cites a page for the school program that doesn't name Lambert or what degree he is pursuing. For a genealogical section I have since deleted, it actually cited an ancestry.com search result. It says "After an injury to his eye ended his military career, Lambert earned a position as an Investment Banking analyst with SunTrust in the restaurant capital group. Following two years in the group, Lambert focused his recently acquired talents in hospitality analysis into the operations side of the hospitality industry. His career started as the General Manager at the Tongue & Groove nightclub in Atlanta in 2001." and the cited source says nothing about Lambert, nothing about an eye injury, nothing about him being an investment banker, nor SunTrust, nothing about spending two years in that role, nothing about talent or hospitality analysis, nothing about him being General Manager of Tongue & Groove. I could go on. Rather than being documented, this article is just decorated, and amounts to a whole lot of unverifiable synthesis, in its entirety. Agricolae (talk) 20:15, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In Addition when I read about WP:PLUG I see that it may have been used out of context. I can see no evidence of Self Promotion, whose main underpinning is autobiographical references, which upon following each subject reference, I see none that are autobiographical in nature- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not
"Self-promotion. It can be tempting to write about yourself or projects in which you have a strong personal involvement. However, remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other. This includes the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which can be difficult when writing about yourself or about projects close to you. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical sources is unacceptable. See Wikipedia:Autobiography, Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest." NormaMarkam (talk 15:31, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I can't speak to who actually wrote the article, but given that the same editor who input most of the text also claims to have taken the pictures, all the way back to when he was in the service, and seems to know personal details not found in any of the sources, there is every appearance of WP:COI, particularly given the similarity between their User name and the eCommerce company the subject operates. (And I have yet to see 'look at all of the pictures of random person X with celebrities' presentations that don't originate with the subject of the photographs, or under their influence.)

Appears to be an individual who is simply a local councillor who ran for a regional mayoralty and failed to retain their deposit in that election. The articles in the page are not articles which confer individual notability on to the subject. The subject is incidental to those articles.

  • Delete. Neither borough councillors nor non-winning mayoral candidates are deemed to pass WP:NPOL for those facts per se — but the depth and breadth of sourcing here is not enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu. Of the seven sources here, three are primary sources that cannot assist notability at all, leaving us with just four pieces of reliable source media coverage — but campaign coverage falls under WP:ROUTINE, because everybody who was ever a candidate in any election anywhere could always show that much coverage. To earn a Wikipedia article, people at this level of significance have to be shown as significantly more notable than the norm for this level of significance — but nothing here shows that at all.

  • Keep. As this is an album from the 1980s, finding electronic versions of the press that the album received would be difficult. However a search on google books gives us Is This Live?: Inside the Wild Early Years of MuchMusic by Christopher Ward, Music Express: The Rise, Fall & Resurrection of Canada's Music Magazine and Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself: Essays on Debut Albums among others. You have to search using "The Thin Red Line" +Glass Tiger, not "The Thin Red Line (album)". You get more hits across the board with this change, which indicates there's even more out there not available digitally. The album passes WP:NALBUM and it's very easy to find info on chart and sales successes (it charted well and sold well per WP:NALBUM and this can be verified through Billboard and here). It was a major label release and spawned two major hit songs, and with the handful of books I found, plus Billboard it passes WP:GNG. Sources can be added and lacking sources is not a valid reason to delete. freshacconci (✉) 21:35, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Snow keep. Obviously notable under the standards generally applied to albums. In addition to the material cited by freshacconci, this album received a best album nomination at the 1986 Juno Awards, and yielded a best new artist nomination for the band at the Grammys. [1][2] --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:25, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep per Arxiloxos. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 23:56, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is an album that was released in 1986, which means the sources needed to get it over WP:GNG would not be expected to show up on Google. However, this is the debut album by a band who were massive in their heyday, which spawned an iconic Top 10 single and at least two other more moderate hits that still to this day show up on the Jack FMs of the world once in a while (I already have a "Someday" earworm just from seeing its title, and that wasn't even the megahit) — and as noted, it got a Juno Award nomination for Album of the Year as well. So the notability is quite plainly there, and the sources needed to repair this most certainly do exist — but as expected for a 30-year-old topic, they'll be found in databases rather than open web. I have a course to attend today, so I can't tackle this right away, but I'll take a spin through ProQuest when I get home this evening. Bearcat (talk) 12:43, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:V for these points, as well as the ones made by Freshacconci I agree would support notability. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 14:44, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Seven sources added so far from ProQuest, along with one that merely had to be pulled over from the band's article. More are coming as well — I can confirm that the album charted in RPM's album charts, as I get four pages of search results in the RPM database for it. For some reason, however, the actual chart PDFs aren't loading, so I can't verify the peak chart position yet (unfortunately, the database is stupidly structured, so the only way to actually find that is to check each individual chart one by one until you've manually determined the highest position it reached.) Those will be added once I can get through 404land. Bearcat (talk) 22:06, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep - As Apostolic Prefect, he was the head of a diocese which would later be headed by an archbishop, and is thus listed with the bishops on the diocese web page [3]. He has some coverage, as StAnselm points out, in English language religious literature.

Marginal example of a not-yet-notable composer/producer; assertions and claimsseem to be in conflict with WP:NOTCONTAGIOUS, since he does not appear to be notable in his own right Orange Mike | Talk 20:50, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep WP:MUSICBIO #8 says: "Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.". "Platinum selling" has also been sourced. I have now sourced three grammy noms. In addition, while this is a relatively new producer, I think there is more than enough coverage to meet the WP:GNG, albiet not as much detailed coverage as i would like. But there is some. I have added several citatiosn and a critical response section to the article. DES (talk) 23:36, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note that in the music field WP:NOTCONTAGIOUS does not seem to be fully applied, since WP:MUSICBIO #6 also says: "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." That is pretty much pure inherited notability, in a guideline. DES (talk) 00:01, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • comment - DES: do the Grammy databases list Heat as the nominee; or did he just work on an album that was nominated? I've noticed a tendency to treat anybody who ever touched a project, from the singer to the session musicians to the producer(s) to the sound engineer, as "Grammy-nominated" if the project gets a nomination (it seems to be worse in music than anywhere else). --Orange Mike | Talk 00:06, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • That is a reasonable question, and I am not entirely sure of the answer. I can say that his name was included in the track list of a nominated album, and that a source (now cited in the article) says that he "received three grammy noms for his work" on the album. That is a bit more than being the sound engineer. I still maintain that even without the award nom, this passes the GNG, although I would prefer a few better sources to the more numerous but less detailed ones that I have found so far.DES (talk) 00:17, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - because he is "an extra". But, I think it needs mentioned - as more and more entities move all content to the internet (including legitimate sources that allow for paid ads that look like articles), that WP really needs to step their game up with what does and does not qualify. This subject may meet the requirements simply based on the fact that there are enough "sources" that mention his name. Kellymoat (talk) 13:19, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • comment - mere mentions do not qualify a subject; sources must contain substantial discussion of the subject, not merely mention them in a table or list, or contain a single sentence that calls out their name. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:01, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested proposed deletion. Reason for proposal is that Wikipedia is not a directory, reason for removal is that this is "standard content for airlines" however I don't believe it is the case that we have a seperate article listing every single place an airline flies to.

Those others should probably go as well. The issue isn't the size of the airports, it's the appearance of Wikipedia becoming a sales catalog for these airlines. Explaining what region they operate in and where the hubs are is more than sufficient information for a general-knowledge encyclopedia. Listing every destination crosses over into a catalog.

  • Comment. Not eligible for speedy deletion. A9 requires that there be no claim of significance, and contributions by multiple notable artists is enough of a claim of significance to survive A9. A9 is a special exception to A7's exclusions; the lack of a claim of significance is the important criterion; the lack of an artist article comes into play only when there is no claim of significance. It's not a balancing matter, any valid claim of significance "outweighs" the absence of an artist article. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo).

Actually, Godric replaced a speedy after it had been declined already, a generally improper editing practice I've been addressing for years. My comment here is mostly directed to Domdeparis's !vote above, which seriously misconstrues speedy deletion standards. But I don't expect much beyond groundless abuse from an editor who labelled me a "half-literate myopic" on my talk page this morning. As for Legacypac's substantive point, at this point the article claims this is a legitimate album with a number of notable guest performers, and that's the claim speedy proposals are measured against. If the claim isn't transparently false, but requires investigation, it's not speediable. That's why obvious hoaxes can be speedied, but clever ones go to AFD. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo).

WP:NOTSTATS. Nothing can be said about him; there is a short article at [17] but it pretty much states he is a youth debutant in Extraklasa, gives few quotes and stats/bio details (born in, joined Football team X in 200XX, etc.). During this training he had a small accident, and he was nervous during his debut game. This clearly fails WP:GNG. Before someone argues that he passes (or not) Wikipedia:Notability (sports), let me quote from that policy: "Q: If a sports figure meets the criteria specified in a sports-specific notability guideline, does this mean he/she does not have to meet the general notability guideline? A: No, the subject must still eventually meet the general notability guideline. ". So unless we can show he meets GNG, well, NOSTATS etc. Meeting NSPORTS or not is about as irrelevant as whether he has a Polish Wikipedia article (which incidentally he does not have, too).

I am the author of the article, and as I explained on its talk page, I fail to see where we have an explicit requirement that such articles need to be 'the cause of death of a wiki notable person or another notable feature' - that seems vague to say the least. If you look at our 2017 and 2016 articles for aircraft incidents, you will see quite a few that are just AS notable as this one. I understand why private planes and helicopters don't fit the shoe, but in this case it's a country with a very small air force, and one where accidents don't generally happen that often, so there is some notability to it IMO. The other articles serve as a precedent, so unless there is a specific rule that I am missing, we either have to enforce the same rules to all older articles and lose a LOT of them, or come up with some sort of compromise. Just my two cents. Skycycle (talk) 22:04, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The standard is WP:AIRCRASH and precedents don't count for much (WP:Other stuff exists); however it being a country with a very small air force counts as another notable feature. Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:37, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As Hawkeye7 stated - see WP:AIRCRASH. As these being part of the Lesotho Defence Force - sorry, I don't see how this counts for much. The Lesotho air wing is really just a general aviation wing that isn't expected to carry out any role in a war (As Lesotho is landlocked and surrounded completely by the much larger South Africa - in any conceivable military conflict with South Africa, aviation wouldn't last for more than a day (the ground forces might do marginally better, and might be able to put up an irregular/guerrilla campaign afterwards) - it might carry out some role in an irregular conflict with local rebels, but otherwise seems to be mostly geared for regular governmental transport - it is borderline itself for an article (which it doesn't have - is included with Lesotho Defence Force - a small organization overall - as per article 3,100 personnel). Being part of a marginal, non-useful (in any organized international conflict, possible use vs. internal rebels), military of a marginal country - doesn't make this crash more notable than others - if at all less notable. Police helicopters crash all the time - if the crash isn't notable in terms of damage on the ground, specific fatalities (notable victims), or a large amount of victims (e.g. a Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion or Boeing CH-47 Chinook which can lead to a high double-digit body count) - it isn't notable.Icewhiz (talk) 07:04, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep The crash of an aircraft belonging to a very small air force which resulted in multiple fatalities is likely to have lasting notability. Nick-D (talk) 23:54, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - as per Nick-D's comment the incident had a big impact on Lesotho's airforce and with the investigation ongoing there is a strong possibility the content of the article will be expanded soon. If the final discussion here is more leaning twords delete than keep, I'd advise the closing admin to please consider a Mergeing of the content of this article to the Lesotho Defence Force.

  • Delete per my statement when I proposed deletion "No evidence that this accident is noteworthy for a stand-alone article, helicopter crashes are not rare particularly military operated ones.

  • Weak Keep as per Nick-D. I think it would be appropriate to include this incident in Lists_of_accidents_and_incidents_involving_military_aircraft. Whilst this event probably falls fractionally short of WP:AIRCRASH, it is nevertheless brief, well written and appears adequately referenced. Whilst I'm unaware of any policy encouraging comparison of short factual articles like this one with innumerable and lengthy ones about trivial fictional characters or C-grade social media personalities, I think it just about stands up to scrutiny against them.

  • Weak keep or better Merge the content of this article to the Lesotho Defence Force. I think some of the arguments for deletion have a big country bias. It is significant for a small country's defense forces to be sure but it is hard to see why a single helicopter crash should have an article of its own.

Veers close to WP:HOAX. Same for "Wilmington Creative Writing Program Book Award". Other refs seem broken and hard to verify too. Nothing I see suggests he meets WP:CREATIVE, and the abysmally low level of sourcing on him makes it possible this is a hoax.

this article relies on stringing factoids to somehow imply a notable topic. Whilst no formal relations is not a reason for deletion, the interactions are tangential. for example:

  • Estonia has been an independent country since its declaration in 1918 before being illegally annexed into the Soviet Union in 1940. Later, the Estonian government-in-exile was formed in 1953 to handle diplomatic matters how does this relate to relations with North Korea?
  • United Nations Conference on Disarmament, Estonian foreign minister Urmas Paet condemned the recent nuclear test. you'll find almost every Western country condemns north korea on testing.
  • After the Sony Pictures hacking, the 2014 film, The Interview was banned in all of Estonian cinemas. ACME Film representative Elna-Eva Terasmäe said that Sony Pictures was the victim of an unprecedented criminal action, which negative affected employees, customers and the company itself is really barrel scraping for actual interaction between the countries.

His facebook page grew from 11k likes to 20k likes as a result. He then posted a video of him playing Albatross which received nealy 100k views showing Jack Moore has a very large fan base.

The performance at the funeral is not what is making Jack a notable guitarist. Its the hundreds of thousands of views and shares of his songs on social media. https://www.facebook.com/jackmooremusicuk/videos/1483364181714797/ --JodyCollinsBAhons (talk) 14:58, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even though it stands for Bachelor of Education, it is considered as a diploma. It is two year course of "how to teach kids". The creator has obvious COI.

Rape tree

Rape tree (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article recreated after PROD deletion a month or two back. Sources are not reliable enough to confirm this as a notable concept. The first three are YouTube videos from vloggers, not clips from reliable sources. The next is Washington Post, but it's a blog, and the mention of the "rape tree" in it is a Tea Party activist's claim that "rape trees" exist. The blog quotes the activist's claim about rape trees and then follows up with a statement about "confirmed reports of migrant women’s rape by border “coyotes"," making it look like the rape trees claim is similarly confirmed - but it is not, at least not in the article.

The final source is a claim by a local sheriff alleging that trees marked by undergarments and condoms are commonly found along coyote routes and are intended as warnings to migrant women by coyotes. He states, "we discovered that those are rape trees," but from whom? There is no indication of where his information came from, and a local sheriff testifying about illegal immigration issues is about as far from a neutral, independent source as one can get.

Please don't take this AfD wrong; I'm not by any means disputing that women are sexually assaulted by coyotes taking advantage of their situation. I am disputing specifically and exclusively the concept of "rape trees" as a notable concept that should be covered in a stand-alone article in Wikipedia. ♠PMC(talk) 03:44, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment the term "rape tree" appears to be used by the "Minuteman" type movements, not by mainstream sources, nor by the smugglers/illegal immigrants themselves. Power~enwiki (talk) 05:19, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the appearance of the term in Congressional testimony, which is legit, makes it seem to me as if this is worthy of including in the encyclopedia. Bri (talk) 16:32, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Additional sources include (added 23 May):
  • Nationally and locally, civilian militias have a new look [originally published as The militia next door], Williams, Lee. Sarasota Herald-Tribune; Sarasota, Fla. [Sarasota, Fla] 23 Sep 2012: A.1. "While patrolling Arizona's Vekol Valley, Sawyer said the team found a "rape tree" in the desert, a macabre trophy created by the "coyotes" who smuggle aliens. Sawyer said that after a coyote rapes a woman in his group, he will hang her underwear on the tree."
  • The privilege of citizenship, Klayr Valentine-Fossum, The Knox Student, Knox College, Galesburg IL., April 2, 2009. "Rape is something that could not be ignored by our camp. Not but a 15 minute hike from where we were sleeping was a site of repeated sexual violence. It was called "the Rape Tree." The tree was located down in a wash, that is, in a dry riverbed, not visible from the bank above. You have to climb down into the wash to see it. Bras and underwear hang from the mesquite's branches. And underneath at the base of the tree were pressed down clothes, blankets and backpacks. This tree had become a symbol of domination; of the power a coyote has over the group."
  • The Watch, Fox, Lauren. U.S. News & World Report; Washington (Jul 2013): 1. "As they make their way around the heavy brush, they circle around a pile of women's undergarments, which lay at the foot of a tree. In sections of land near the US-Mexico border, this is known as a "rape tree.""
Your first source quotes someone claiming to have found such a tree, but does not indicate that the newspaper ever followed up on this claim or attempted to fact check the statement. Your second is student journalism, which again shows no indication of any fact-checking. "...a site of repeated sexual violence. It was called “the Rape Tree.”" By whom? When? Third source does seem to meet WP:RS per a quick search of the WP:RSN, but again, I question the credibility of their facts in this case - it's all quotes from "border watch" people with no apparent follow-up or scrutiny. ♠PMC(talk) 03:48, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The term "Rape tree" is being used in multiple news reports including Washington Post, congressional testimony, government officials (see the YouTube videos.)

  • Delete (changing iVote to Delete or redirect, see below.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:56, 24 May 2017 (UTC)) for lack of WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS. Coverage such as the Fox News clip linked form youtube in the sources conflate the fact that human traffickers rape the vulnerable women they lead across the border, with the assertion about rape trees. Smugglers are abusive. Trees, panties, and rape exist. The problem is that sources do not support the assertion that rape trees exist. Note that although term is cited to the Washington Post what the Post actually printed was this comment: “Take a look at the rape trees in the Arizona desert. When women come, they’re told to bring plenty of condoms, because ‘you’ll be raped,’ and the trees are covered with women’s underwear and condoms,” the comment was made by "a tea party activist from northern Virginia, referring to confirmed reports of migrant women’s rape by border “coyotes,”as the human traffickers are known." Got that? WaPo confirms that women are raped by coyotes, it does not confirm that "rape trees" exist. And the activist making the assertion is in Virginia. She does not assert that she has seen a "rape tree." The 2014 Reuters article on the page does refer to rape trees. The National Geographic article is only an assertion cited to an individual resident of the border area. That is the sum total of sourcing to major media in article the rest is blogs and youtube. So I ran a gNews [19] search turns up only Brietbart, [20] in which "a human trafficking investigator" asserts that "rape trees are a common practice in this area,” " and Brietbart affirms that "These coyotes usually remove an article of clothing from the female they rape and they tie it tightly to a tree—a rape tree." PJ Media claimed to have found such a tree in 2013, However the sole evidence offered is a photo posted on the Facebook page of something called Texas Border Volunteers. PJMedia continues, "Rape trees have been known of since at least 2009, but they tend not to feature in any discussions of comprehensive immigration reform." [21]. This seems to be true. I see no substantive support for the existence of rape trees in reliable sources. WP:NOTSOAPBOX.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:31, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • This goes back to my meta question about what the purpose of this debate is. Determining that it is a term used in RSes with a reasonably complete definition is, I think, the point. "The existence of X" really shouldn't be the subject of a deletion debate. WP:NOTTRUTH kind of makes your agonizing about whether RSes were correctly or incorrectly interpreting the Texas paramilitary group's claims, moot. Bri (talk) 17:48, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed. This article makes a very big claim. Big claims require heavyweight proof. The evidence here is mere handful of news stories the best of which merely quote an individual law enforcement officer, border-zone rancher or political activist who asserting that a bra hung from a tree is an example of a "rape tree." There is a vibrant Spanish-language press on each side of that, not to mention the vibrant outlets for women's rights and anti-sexual abuse journalism. The question I keep asking myself is: If a story this dramatic is is real, why isn't there more media and better coverage????E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:00, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • This scholarly author asks the same question. Johnson, Jennifer L. (2014), "Border granny wants you", in Nancy A. Naples; Jennifer Bickham Mendez (eds.), Border Politics: Social Movements, Collective Identities, and Globalization, NYU Press, ISBN 9781479858170, in which the author states she "could not find a single academic reference" discussing rape trees, yet they are commonly discussed in the conservative blogosphere, and do profoundly affect attitudes and behavior on the southern U.S. border. - Bri (talk) 10:10, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:HEY any editor arguing Keep on the basis of the Congressional Testimony needs to establish that the individuals giving the information on these trees are recognized experts on the border and offer proof (after all, anybody a Congressman invites can testify, Sissy Spacek can testify about farming [22], that doesn't make her statement RS). But even if the testimony is valid, it is insufficient to establish NOTABILITY.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:31, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is the standard that the article has to be about an actual, notable phenomenon, or whether the public discussion of the phenomenon is in and of itself notable? I think the latter, which is why we have articles about mass delusions, legends, hoaxes, cryptids, etc. Which is why I brought up Congressional testimony. I don't care for the purposes of this debate whether the testimony was true or not, only that the venue itself gave it notability. - Bri (talk) 19:59, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the article is hopelessly biased under this title. The phenomenon isn't notable as an urban legend; as an actual phenomenon it should be at most a single paragraph in the controversy section on Coyotaje. Power~enwiki (talk) 21:07, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I added some sources to my comment above. So now in addition we have two very mainstream sources: a page-one regional newspaper and a page-one U.S. News & World Report story using the term and explaining what it is in detail. Good enouh for me. - Bri (talk) 21:55, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Revisiting The U.S.. New article is written by a journalist who is being shown the border area by members of the "Texas Border Volunteers", and who show her a "rape tree." Yes, U.S. News goes with the story, but, no, the journalist doesn't have an evidence that it is a "rape tree" beyond the opinion of the Border Volunteers. To me, it looks as though what we have is a small media flurry around an appealing allegation about a group of criminals who exploit, abuse and abandon illegal border crossers to die in the desert. Maybe the y do advertise on rape trees. Pretty hard assertion to prove, though.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:59, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That one does seem to be a bit more of a substantial mention than your other sources, though I've no idea if that publication meets the standard of WP:RS.

  • User:Bri, you can help your case by removing unreliable sources (I took a few such out just now,) User:Power~enwiki piling up citations to unreliable sources as was done here (spam) is amateurish. If a topic is notable, there will be WP:RS providing WP:SIGCOV and editors should stick to them.

  • Regarding the comment about me needing to remove non reliable sources. If you are referring to Knox College's student-run newspaper, it may be an RS. Per RSN discussions (March 2017, October 2009, etc.), student newspapers may be RSes. I'd rather leave it for consideration. Bri (talk) 17:42, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • WP:TNT is for "hopelessly unsalvageably" articles, usually either massive copyvio, or polluted by some kind of COI. Even articles created by undisclosed paid editors rarely fall into this category. I don't see how a four-paragraph article with multiple valid sources can be described this way. If you think it should be described as mythology then by all means add a statement to that effect, of course, backed up by RS. - Bri (talk) 23:46, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't need just a statement, it (if kept) needs a full rewrite to make it clear that as far as all sources have indicated, it is an unproven allegation primarily linked to minuteman/borderwatch type movements, with no confirmation from any independent sources. ♠PMC(talk) 06:18, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I added some info to the article. My research indicates that some people believe rape trees are "real," and other people believe that they are instead a fiction used to fuel an agenda. The sources I provided are books and are reliable sources. The congressional testimonies are also reliable. I'd rather that people searching for a topic like this find a neutral POV article on Wikipedia describing it. The material I added makes it clear that the claims are coming from a particular source and are most likely being used to create an agenda. I think that's sufficient. There's no reason to TNT the article. Improve it like I did if you are unhappy about it. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:38, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Selective Merge and Redirect to sexual assault of migrants from Latin America to the United States (just created, and mentions this subject) - When I first came across this AfD, saw the sources, and did a search for my own, it seemed like a neologism intended to make a political point (e.g. "Consequences of an Open Border") rather than a subject that we need a stand-alone article about. There's enough coverage for me to support something other than deletion, but it's clearly a relatively small element of a much bigger subject -- sexual assault of women crossing the border. I was surprised that I couldn't find an appropriate merge target that dealt with that subject. Coyotaje is sort of related, but the sexual assaults are not the sole domain of the smugglers, and I would argue are not best covered as part of that article regardless. So I started a draft of sexual assault of migrants from Latin America to the United States, and I would like to invite other editors to improve it. I don't even know that the title I chose is the best, but it seems like too important a subject for us only to cover in the coyotaje article or via "rape trees". — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:36, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)This is a a much better merge & redirect target than coyotaje, I think. We can make mention of your article in the coyotaje article and then fully discuss the topic in its own article. ♠PMC(talk) 19:57, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article does not fufill requirements of WP:NFootball or WP:GANG Wolfmalfoy (talk) 04:56, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Article does not fufill requirements of [[WP:NFootball] or WP:GANG. The subject of the article is an underaged athlete who has yet to sign a professional contract or play in a professional or senior national team match. The article was created in response to recent press coverage of the subject's performance in a youth tournament and there has not been widely spread coverage of the subject outside of this. The article is therefore inappropriate at this time.Wolfmalfoy (talk) 04:58, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Sargent clearly passes WP:GNG. He is notable. Stating that the article was "created in response to recent press coverage of the subject's performance in a youth tournament" or just because Sargent "scored in a youth tournament" is pure ignorance about the subject in question. Sargent have been a standout for while now and his life and career have been widely covered by media. The article includes several sources and in a quicky search on google any one can find much more.

The only source that makes me believe he could be notable now is the one from US Soccer where he is the youngest scorer in the U20 World Cup but that is it and not enough in my eyes to see him as notable right now. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 19:04, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I can't make my mind up about this one, this individual has received a lot of coverage recently but most has been about his immediate recent performance and has probably been overhyped due to his age.

This has been speedy deleted six times under the titles Fly Fierra and Fly fierra (both titles are now salted). The basic argument remains the same: he's just not notable as a musician and producer. The only coverage (actually simple instances of his name being mentioned) in reliable sources stems not from his work as an artist but from a dumb prank he pulled with a couple of friends.

Am I the only one who thinks that this page should be merged into a redirect? Sure, he's a main character in one of the most iconic animated series, but the page hardly covers any out-of-universe notability, and a majority of sections or content is unsourced, save for the Creation and Development section. And after doing research I could hardly find any official sources or news coverages on the character that are noteworthy enough to warrant an article, or any at all for that matter; when typing the character's name (or "chris family guy") into Google News, most of the coverages deal with people who just happen to have the same name as him and have no affiliation with Family Guy whatsoever. The closest sources to real-word perspective of the character I could find were the coverages concerning him dating American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift in the episode "Chris Has Got a Date, Date, Date, Date, Date", but considering that it was only a one-time thing that didn't attract much impact, I don't find the information that sufficient to consider the character iconic, despite his series being such. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if an article about a fictional character doesn't have a Reception, Controversy, Criticism, or Cultural impact section, then does that automatically mean it should be merged into a redirect?

Hi TheLongTone, Thanks for your concern. Could you please specify why you think Education about the holocaust and The Holocaust in curricula are duplicates? Curricula is a "key component" of Education about the Holocaust, and that is articulated in the article. These articles were created as part of a project that uses Wikipedia's and UNESCO's open license/open access policies to create and improve articles. If you have any doubts as to the legitimacy of these articles, Genocide education included, please consult the cited publications. If you have any questions about the project, please consult John Cummings. Thank you. (A.mart82)

Hi, can I request nothing is 'speedied'. I don't agree they are the same subject but I don't pretend to have enough in depth knowledge of the subject to know whether it is suitable to merge this article into another or to leave as it is. --John Cummings (talk) 09:54, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with Education about the holocaust. Per Wikipedia:Article size, there's no need to have a separate article on this subtopic. The style is somewhat prolix and underreferenced and could be edited down. Although the articles don't do a very good job of establishing notability, I don't think the notability of the topic is in question as it regularly comes up in newspapers etc. But I don't think education and curricula are separate topics, even though the articles have different focuses (like having articles on restaurant food and restaurant menus.) --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:23, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per previous. This has the feel of a not very good academic essay, not an encyclopedic article. Inevitably each country will do this differently, so that I am not sure that a worldwide synthesis is useful to have. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:50, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

After reviewing the sources and past discussions, I concur this does not pass WP:GNG/WP:CORP/WP:NMEDIA. It is a podcast that has generated little coverage of itself, except niche star wars fan sites and local media. They do get mention in passing every now and then, but I don't see what makes them significant (notable). I don't see any source discussing their significance or impact on the wider world, or even in Star Wars fandom. Yes, they are likely one of the more notable Star Wars podcasts (I am guessing, since I haven't found a source that says that...), but unless this is stated by a reliable, non-niche, non-local source, it is not enough. PS. My university doesn't seem to have access to HighBeam, but neither of those articles seem sufficient (passing mention/local coverage) to be sufficient to argue this podcast has received significant coverage by other media, IMHO.

Jessica Silverman Gallery

I don't see how this comes near to meeting WP:CORP. The gallery does what all art galleries do – have shows, try to sell works of art, promote themselves and sometimes the artists, etc. The article was created by a user named Jsginfo, and appears to have been an attempt at promotion from the day it was started. We don't allow promotion. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:54, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep (although consider moving to Jessica Silverman). She and her gallery are widely covered in the art press and somewhat in Bay Area media. I added various sources. The content was not in the slightest bit promotional, so that cannot be a reason for deletion. It comes down purely to notability. With coverage in various publications, she passes WP:GNG. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:34, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is not a promotional entry; the Jessica Gallery is now established in the Bay Area and the entry is sufficiently referenced User:Matthewwells55 (talk) 15:11, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong delete as blatant self-promotion of a non-notable gallery. --Lockley (talk) 02:44, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm not sure whether the article is about Jessica Silverman or the gallery. I'd be willing to presume notability of the gallery based on its own website (the advertorials are sufficient for existence), Jessica Silverman herself is not notable.

  • Delete The article lacks focus, it discusses both the gallery and the owner. I don't see anything that would substantiate a claim of importance or notability. The article says nothing about the gallery besides where it is, when it was founded and what it sells. Those things apply to any retail establishment, they exist somewhere, they were established and they sell stuff. As for the founder herself, that her father created an important collection of Fluxus work is immaterial, notability is not inherited. Mduvekot (talk) 04:17, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
