Delete, as it doesn't appear this individual is notable. Almost all sources are passing mentions for roles on projects that are not notable in their own right either. WP:TOOSOON seems apropos. There also appears to be some kind of COI, as the editor that began this entry has admitted to working for a marketing/career management firm on their talk page: User_talk:Shoutingdog, so there is a potential TOU issue here as well.

  • Keep. In the absence of any evidence that this was written by anyone other than the editor who created this we should be thanking that editor for doing such a thorough job of writing an article about a very notable topic rather than calling for deletion.

  • Delete my assumption on the relist is because everyone else agreed with the nomination and didn't spell it out, so I'll go ahead and do it: nothing about this artist suggests he meets any of our notability guidelines. Clearly not ANYBIO or any of the other biographical and music biographical guidelines. The question of deletion vs. merging and redirection is something to consider, but the question we should ask ourselves is if there is anything worth merging or redirecting here? I don't see anything personally that should be merged, and the article history doesn't contain anything worth preserving, and those advocating for that position have not made a case for it. That leaves deletion as the best option. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:57, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The films stars two prominent actors of Soviet-Armenian Cinema, one of whom received an award for the film at the 1985 Venice Film Festival. The director (although lacking a Wikipedia page} appears to be significant in Armenian Cinema [1]. The film is mentioned as "famous" or his "best" film. [2], [3]. It was recently covered by the Sputnik News Agency [4]. Because it's a pre-internet film from Soviet Armenia, it's likely that sources exist in foreign-language papers or books that are not online.

  • As usual for such topics it's tricky. I'm inclined to agree, but then I find two sources that mention the prize and seem to indicate its importance (this and this). They're Google snippets and thus totally useless for article creation, but I have to go with weak keep here because this suggests that there may be more--just not in English, and not easily accessible.

  • I should expand on that last comment by saying that when notable people like Timothy D. Snyder turn up in person to accept an award, it validates the award in a way. As does the fact that they hand the winner a check for $10,000.

  • Whether recipients up for their awards can be a pretty good dividing line to use, about awards. I recall AFDs about movie awards given by movie critic groups in North Carolina and other places, which are simply not in the same league as the Oscars, say, as exemplified by the fact that they just announced their awards, no world/national actors/directors/etc. showed up to receive them. On that basis the movie critic group article was deleted, IIRC. "It's not a real award if the recipients don't show up to receive them" could be a guideline to record somewhere. --doncram 20:55, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Although the award is not well-represented in the English-language media, this is one of the most important such awards for original literary works and research in Ukraine. The prize is frequently referred to as "the Ukrainian Nobel Prize" for the high standard it sets (see here: http://www.umoloda.kiev.ua/number/1029/116/37121/). The founding jury members were George G. Grabowicz of Harvard University (https://faculty.slavic.fas.harvard.edu/george-grabowicz), the prominent poet of the New York Group Bohdan Rubczak (see here: http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CR%5CU%5CRubchakBohdan.htm and here: http://sites.utoronto.ca/elul/Struk-mem/Rubchak-Works/), and one of the most prominent 20th cent. scholars of Ukrainian literature, language, and culture Yuri (George) Shevelov (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Shevelov). See here for more info on the Antonovych Foundation's activities in awarding the prize: https://zbruc.eu/node/57847. The prize is truly one of the most important institutions of supporting high-quality literary works and research in Ukrainian studies. To say that it's "non-notable" is an offense to the attempts of the Ukrainian society to rid itself of the shameful practices of Soviet totalitarianism in literature and in humanities.

  • Keep It is an obscure British BBC TV program, that is likely to be commissioned by the Beeb. Quite a lot of these older children's program don't have listings. They are put on, tried out and if not successful, forgotten about. That doesn't mean notability isn't inherent. There 10,000s of these types of articles floating around WP, and until notability is established. I suggest keep for the moment. scope_creep (talk) 00:08, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Notability isn't inherent. We need to establish that this is a notable program. This isn't done by claiming it is "likely to be commissioned by the Beeb" or that there are other articles like this one. It is done by showing there is significant coverage in reliable sources. ~ GB fan 10:25, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Article was created in February 2017. If notability hasn't been proven yet, it won't be. Also just because other similar stuff exists, it doesn't "inherently" mean this should. — Wyliepedia 02:42, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I agree there is a problem with sources for this article. For instance my memory might be playing tricks, but I don't recall this being shown on CITV or any terrestrial broadcaster. I do vaguely remember the Beano plugging a Dennis series on the Children's Channel c 1990. The thing is if this series is as the article describes it should be notable in that it is the first TV series to feature this well known comic character. Unfortunately, the only reference I can find other than this article and IMDB comes in a Dennis the Menace collection from c 2012 which mentions there was a puppet series based on the character (which I assume is this one). I don't have the history of the Beano that was produced in 2008 but, it might be worth seeing if there is coverage in it. Dunarc (talk) 15:59, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, we don't entirely - we do allow tolerance for historical topics that pre-date the web.

Re:The Islamic terror wave in Europe from 2014 (or there about) is quite pronounced and few terror experts would dare dispute its existence. Actually this is a fallacy and none of the refs used support this assertion, certainly the majority don't. Apart from France, which had an explosion of attacks from 2014-16 there are few patterns across Europe and the number killed in both UK and Spain for example (even allowing for recent events), does not support such an assertion. That there has been any kind of pattern in Europe since 2014 is simply an unfounded and unsourced assumption. The sources used to support the claim have actually said things like 'many', not 'more' and have focussed on France, not Europe. Pincrete (talk) 13:51, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
While there are apologists espousing this, you won't find terrorism experts expressing this view. See for instance CSIS's Anthony Cordesman (cliff notes here - [6]), fuller report here: [7]. Nearly all reported fatalities and most of the casualties were the result of jihadist terrorist attacks. The total number of 142 attacks is a continuation of a downward trend that started in 2014 when there were 226 attacks, followed by 211 in 2015..... Most arrests were related to jihadist terrorism, for which the numbers rose for the third consecutive year: 395 in 2014, 687 in 2015 and 718 in 2016. (he prefers to use Jihadist in preference to Islamist or Islamic Extremist/Fundamentalist - which is mainly a matter of flavor).Icewhiz (talk) 14:08, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that anyone doubts that most many of the terrorist events and terrorist deaths in Europe since the early 2000s have been Islamist, people like IRA and ETA have been marginal. I didn't say that was not true, and your sources do not contradict my point, which - put briefly - is that there is nothing special about 2014 and the date does not mark any significant pattern EXCEPT in France when it was the year before the beginning of two years of very deadly terrorist activity. Your source says "If one looks at the START data on the total for Western and Eastern Europe, which includes Russia, the impact of terrorism peaks in the 1970s. It rises again in 1991, driven by terrorist attacks in the Balkans, Palestinian violence, and terrorism in the FSU and Russia. It then peaks for a third time in 2014-2015, driven by both violent Islamist extremism and terrorist activity in the Ukraine. Later it says: If one only examines Western Europe, the START reporting on the patterns in Western Europe shows a rise in incidents after 2010, driven largely by violent Islamist extremism and the influence and actions of ISIS, that reached new peaks in 2015-2016 .... Turkey was a key center of terrorist attacks because of political unrest and Kurdish separatism ..... from mid-2015 onwards. There are many other dates and stats in your sources, none of them supports your claim that "The Islamic terror wave in Europe from 2014 (or there about) is quite pronounced".
There is nothing significant about the year 2014 and the central claim which has opened this article since its creation, is a fallacy. 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2014 may be all significant milestones for some reasons, in different parts of Europe. Your sources themselves note that special factors apply in Russia and Turkey. I'm not opposed to a list of Islamist terrorist attacks in Europe, or in 'Western Europe' I would simply like its logic and claims to be based on what the balance of best sources say and that is a great deal more complex than you, or the article are saying. Pincrete (talk) 15:24, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You could argue 2013 or 2012 instead of 2014 - however this is a separate phase from previous Al-Qaeda/Global-Jihad in the earlier 2000s - in which we see "lone wolfs", "Islamic State", "Islamic State inspiration" - an generally a large amount of attacks (often disorganized and ineffective amateur attacks with improvised means (e.g. knives, cars, trucks). The reason 2014 is often cited as a date is number of casualties in Europe by year and Jihadists arrests per year in Europe. The underlying phenomena is an increase in the number of attacks and "Islamic State" influence as well as fighters returning from Syria to Europe.Icewhiz (talk) 15:40, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well the chart puts a first peak at 2004-6 (Sp+UK?), the 2005 London was of course 'lone wolves', so they are not new. I also noticed that your quote above says that 2014 was the beginning of a downward trend, our article has said the opposite since its creation. That there may be changes in trends, including that a small number recently are verifiably ISIS directed, and a much larger number may/may not be ISIS inspired, should be rendered in text, as should any 'Syria' element. IMO, the year and the 'Europe-wide' definition are simply 'stones round our necks'. What happens in Turkey or Russia has very little connection to events in Western Europe. Arrests is more of an indicator of host priorities than of acts. Pincrete (talk) 16:35, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that anyone doubts that most of the terrorist events and terrorist deaths in Europe since the early 2000s have been Islamist, people like IRA and ETA have been marginal. That's flat out wrong. According to Europol's yearly terrorism reports:
Year Total events Islamist events Total deaths Islamist deaths
2006 498 1
2007 583 4
2008 515 0
2009 294 1
2010 249 3
2011 174 0
2012 219 6 17 8
2013 152 0 7 1
2014 199 2 4 4
2015 211 17 151 150
2016 142 13 142 135

The majority of events have all throughout this period been separatist in nature, i.e. "people like IRA and ETA". No, really: pick a year, and more than half of the events that year will have been separatist events. TompaDompa (talk) 16:45, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See deaths classified as Islamist. Note that national authorities do not all have an Jihadist classification, but rather lump them in a basket. The number of Jihadist deaths and deadly Jihadist attacks has increased significantly from around 2014. Tactics and profiles of attackers are quite different than the previous AQ activity. Lone wolves existed previously, but not at these proportions.Icewhiz (talk) 17:52, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
TompaDompa, I stand corrected about events, if not deaths, which would show an earlier peak, if Madrid train + London tube were included. My substantive point however is that the 2014 'start date', is at best, arbitary and at worst formulated on a number of fallacies as to whether/what changes occurred at that time, and that the overall picture is a great deal more nuanced than the article seeks to present. Pincrete (talk) 18:31, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It would appear to coincide with the rise of ISIS, although not all of the people who carry out these attacks are card-carrying ISIS members, thus the need for a wider encompassing title. Claíomh Solais (talk) 19:05, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"It would appear to coincide with the rise of ISIS", but we know full well that only a tiny number of these attacks have any discernible link to ISIS, while large numbers of others MAY BE inspired by, and others have clearly no connection at all, so we'll bypass normal rules about rational objective criteria for lists and make it all into a pea-soup that clearly contradicts the best available sources. That, unfortunately, is par for the course on this article. Pincrete (talk) 08:30, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Alas - these are the challenged of "Lone Wolf Terrorism" - where the Jihadists attack after on-line indoctrination from social media, YouTube (e.g. Ahmad Musa Jibril), and other such loose connections - possibly leaving a note somewhere they did it for ISIS, ISIS claiming it, or something similar. Things were so much easier back in the 2000s when most of these had clear chains of command and direction from "terrorist masterminds". However - this being a defining characteristic (Jihadist lone wolf attacks, peppered with a few organized ones) - is not really in doubt by any terrorism expert (whether 2014 is the start year - debatable - but there is definitely a divide between the AQ early 2000s, the quiet Jihadist front in Europe 2006-11, and the current phase of "lone wolves with ISIS "inspiration"").Icewhiz (talk) 09:00, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – Based on the presented rationale for deletion, this AfD strikes me as disruptive in order to make a WP:POINT. I would also urge User2534 to read WP:AGF. With that said, I think it would be valid with an AfD based on WP:DEL6 and/or WP:DEL7 considering that there is indeed a view among some editors that the article is entirely based on WP:OR and WP:SYNTH, and that nothing about it is supported by WP:RS (well, kind of – what I've come across isn't quite that categorical). An argument in favour of deleting the article rather than clarifying (and possibly adjusting) its scope and inclusion criteria might be that a recent attempt to do the latter failed to reach WP:CONSENSUS. TompaDompa (talk) 17:25, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to include "List" in the article's title. The current lede section ("Europe has seen Islamic terrorist activity since 2014.[2]") has multiple problems, and much of the prose is WP:OR or WP:SYNTH.

  • Keep The reason for deletion is "few active users...effectively control the article". No one controls articles on wikipedia. If it needs a lead, write one.

  • Keep Despite the reality that this article has been subjected to pitched battles over what qualifies as "terrorism," (battles fought by tiny numbers of editors on the talk page and won by the side that musters more combatants who are willing to keep arguing longer) it is a useful topic that can and should be improved by more eyes on the page, more editors, and, perhaps, by some sort of ranked language that would allow editors to designate type of support for an attack being terrorism-related. Rather than, as now, removing articles where any sort of doubt can be cast on the terrorism connection by editors, despite incidents being blue-linked and demonstrating well-sourced linkage to terrorist motivation.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:15, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - "nominating articles that are heavily sourced in very reliable international news sources are never going to be deleted, regardless of NOTNEWS," said someone. XavierItzm (talk) 09:22, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but rename "Care Bear Hugs in Europe" to appease bourgeois liberals. In all seriousness though, the talkpage pitch battles, where a small group of editors frantically fall over each other to try and keep out whatever most recent Islamist mass casualty attack has happened on that day from being mentioned (probably the most dedicated being TompaDompa), regardless of the mountain of mainstream media coverage, is a bit of a circus and a great waste of time/energy for those who are forced to try and uphold some basic standards in this area. So I can see where the nominator is coming from, though suggesting the article itself be deleted probably isn't the right way to go about this wider problem in this topic area and each issue should be dealt with individually.

I am probably one of those editors who frantically fall over each other to try and keep out whatever most recent Islamist mass casualty attack has happened on that day from being mentioned. I do this until a reliable police or govt source explicitly says it is Islamic/ist terrorism (ie not good enough that someone who is probably Muslim commits a crime with typical Islamist MO and/or some unnamed witness says they heard an Islamic slogan, according to one obscure source). While it may be difficult for Claíomh Solais to imagine, my motives are not because I am a 'bourgeois liberal', my motives include that I presume that any reader of WP over the age of 10, when they first hear about any crime that could well be Islamist, doesn't need me to confirm what could well be true, They are not that stupid and they would rather wait to read what is known rather than read what Claíomh Solais, or I, or any 'speculator' thinks is possibly/probably true. What is the rush to state definitively that a particular event is Islamist, before even the police have concluded that it is? Pincrete (talk) 09:36, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename - The evidence suggests that Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe began much earlier than 2014 - certainly in terms of the London and Madrid bombings. Even if we look at recent years than the evidence suggests a significant impact only after 2015 or arguably after 2012. Therefore 2014 is arbitary and misleading. The 1985 El Descanso bombing killed 18 people in Madrid. Just take out the dates.Contaldo80 (talk) 08:50, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to ISIS terror attacks in Europe (2014–present). "Islamic terrorism", while accurate, is a rather vague term considering that virtually every single attack in Europe has been claimed/organized/carried out by ISIS and not by other Islamic terror groups (Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, etc.). 23 editor (talk) 15:56, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Actually in many, many cases, the connection to ISIS is either very tenuous (single source somewhere says possible self-radicalisation, had a black flag on computer, told friends he admired ISIS) or non-existent. Such a renaming would guarantee that the level of WP:OR would quadruple. Manchester arena, there is a possible ISIS connection via Libya, Westminster there is no connection, London Bridge there is a possible online 'linkage', Barcelona there is an ISIS claim of responsibility, but apparent 'local' radicalisation. Pincrete (talk) 16:32, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Second Pincrete. On lots of these articles we've had the argument (resolved eventually to Islamic Terror - after police investigation, etc.) - of "so what if ISIS claim it (they claim everything), so what if it was a Muslim attacker, he must have been a crazy person attacking for some non-terror reason". While a large proportion (not all) of these are ISIS "inspired" - determining each one was so inspired in difficult.Icewhiz (talk) 16:40, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep - I don't really care if you want to rename it to something else, though each rename vote has offered a totally different rendition of what the article should be renamed to and might need to be saved for a second discussion, but, it is obvious that this is a notable topic. The assertions in the nominating statement are ... well there's a 119 sources currently used in the article. They are applied all throughout the article except the lede which isn't supposed to have citations (exceptions exist). The fact that the lede isn't written is not a cause to delete. WP:OR is a dubius assertion, however, WP:SYNTH probably exists and it is arguable that the start date should be the 24th of May 2014. Why this date? None of this amounts to the article being non-notable or unfit for purpose. So no, don't delete this article, fix whatever problems it has. Mr rnddude (talk) 04:39, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename to Mobile Suit Gundam mecha as it pertains to suits, weapons, and armor and not just weapons, and then trim down per WP:NOTWIKIA and apply lots of WP:TNT for unsourced material. The navbox has a list of the most notable "Mobile weapons" which are different types of Gundams. Redirect Mobile weapons to Maneuver warfare which seems to be about mobile weapons in the real world. Most of the news searches on the Internet for pertain to real world mobile weapons and not Gundam ones. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 16:52, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The articles in the navbox may not be notable either. This just seems like the most obvious example of WP:NOTPLOT but articles like Psyco Gundam appear incredibly dubious too.

List of the longest gaps between film sequels

List of the longest gaps between film sequels (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)

This list is 100% original research. There are two sources cited in the article: One is the main page for an entertainment site (which may have said something about one of the films in question at some point in the past, but I cannot find anything relevant now. (The source is cited for the note that the entry on the list apparently should not be on the list: "Despite its title, the film is not a sequel to Aashiqui, and the only similarity is that 'both are music-based romantic films'.") The other discusses the Mary Poppins sequel, but does not mention the unusually large gap.

Searching the 'net, I find several sources discussing lengthy gaps between original and sequel (TRON, Blade Runner, Star Wars, etc.), but none claiming to be THE longest gap or a list of the longest gaps.

How do we know Bambi is the champ in this category? We don't. All we know is that someone added it here and no one has proposed anything with a longer gap.

Several of the films currently listed use spin-offs, prequels, made for TV and direct to video films. Several use "unofficial" sequels, such as the Wizard of Oz where the proposed sequel is not related to the original, the the book the second is based on is a sequel to the book the first is based on. Does that make "Raise the Titanic" a sequel to "A Night to Remember"?

With no source for determining what does and does not "count", I am left to wonder why a made for TV miniseries would count but a radio play, book, etc. wouldn't. If a TV show can be a sequel for a film, why isn't "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" a sequel to the original "Star Trek"?

Bottom line: Someone was intrigued by the idea that this article represents, but the sources simply do not exist to support an article. SummerPhDv2.0 21:52, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Long-delayed sequels are a notable topic.[8][9][10][11][12] A list shouldn't be deleted just because the criteria are arguable or it may be hard to complete; these things can be debated or agreed through talk pages. And if you're worried about "longest" rename to "long". --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:25, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - You seem to be suggesting that this should be an entirely different article. The current article claims to list the "longest" gaps: a discrete claim. The article you suggest is altogether different, as a casual look at your suggested sources confirms. Your first source, "PAJBA" seems to be a blog: no "about" page, no copyright notice. Its claim of the "longest" gaps jumps all over our list 1, 7, 32, 31, 39, 62, 115, 70...
Your second source puts "The Best Man" first on its list. Ours has it at #162. Next is #132, 136, 96, 70...
Source #3 doesn't claim to list the "longest", giving a list of 6 "long delayed" sequels.
Source #4 is the "most absurd gaps". There third gap in this list of sequels is Star War VI to Star Wars I, a sixth degree prequel.
  1. 5 doesn't give a list or claims of the "longest", but is an article about the concept of sequels after decades have passed.
The three of your sources give us a hodgepodge of long delayed sequels that we would probably package in a list format to make it look like a countdown of the longest, similar to if we change List of films considered the worst into List of films that weren't good or wrote List of businesses that made a lot of money.
There might be material to write about Long delayed film sequels, if we can resist the urge to claim we have created a definitive list. To the extent that reliable sources discuss prequels, made for TV and direct to video, we can do the same. We might even find sources tying the distant cousin films. We do not, however, have a verifiable list of the top ten (or 20, or 200...) longest gaps. We also don't have objective, sourced criteria for a list of long delays. - SummerPhDv2.0 16:14, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I'm sympathetic to the nom here. This is a loosey-goosey definition very badly compromised by a near-complete lack of sources. Who says that there weren't any "sequels" between Film X and film X2? Define "sequel" -- do we include films in canon? Fan films? Have foreign sources been scoured? Is a "film franchise" a unitary thing, and the sequel has to be made by the rights holder of the first film? No ... I wouldn't even consider keeping such a list without 95%+ of the entries sourced, and it's more like 5%. Nha Trang Allons! 19:31, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep All it needs is strong criteria and maybe a name change. It appears to now use 10 years as the length. What counts as a "sequel", (Note, the lead does not use the term sequel, but "consecutive installments of a film franchise".) I think the list needs to be parred down. Most of the tv shows removed. If it is film franchise, the "films" should have either had a cinematic release or was shot with the intent to have a release. As for citations, all that is needed is to prove: the two films are in a franchise, there is no other film entry between them, when they were released, and they are films. Zginder 2017-09-01T07:11:57Z
Comment - List of films produced with the intention to release them in theaters that are part of a franchise with no film in between them with a gap of 10 or more years is the reason we don't have List of United States legislators who are part of a family with a gap of 50 or more years between legislators. While we might have a source saying that Billy Smith is the first member of Congress in his family since his great-great-grandfather in 1840, we don't have sources discussing the topic. It might be worth including in the article about Billy, but we don't have sourced criteria for a list. - SummerPhDv2.0 15:53, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am not proposing we use a title like that. Many lists and articles are titled slightly wrong because, it a title that will get more searches. I think something along the lines of "List of long gaps between film sequels". Notice wikt:sequel includes the usage of a prequel or other film in a franchise. Zginder 2017-09-02T02:34:13Z
The point: We do not have any sources discussing films produced with the intention to release them in theaters that are part of a franchise with no film in between them with a gap of 10 or more years. We have a handful of sources discussing "long gaps" between sequels. That their varying criteria are is not explained anywhere is not an invitation for us to create our own. - SummerPhDv2.0 03:09, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We only need sources for the dates of the films release, which for most of them is the same place. Zginder 2017-09-03T11:09:06Z
List of tallest buildings and structures is encyclopedic and backed by reliable sources stating which structures are the tallest. This article currently aspires to mirror that, but fails as the sources simply do not exist. List of tall buildings and structures does not exist because "tall" is a vague, relative term (in my neighborhood 5 stories would be very tall, while it would be tiny in Manhattan). Dumping this article and starting a new List of films with long gaps between sequels echos that problem and invites us to create a topic out of thin air: 5, 10, 15 years? Sequels, prequels, spinoffs, soft-reboots, alternate universes? Theatrical release, direct-to-video, made for TV film/miniseries/series? Take your pick from each list and tell me why that version of the list is encyclopedic while other variations of the list are not. - SummerPhDv2.0 17:47, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, most of the lists in List of tallest buildings and structures appear to be mostly or completely unsourced. Yes, there is an official body, but the Wikipedia entry goes way beyond the "official" lists. Zginder 2017-09-08T08:04:14Z

  • Delete Per WP:SYNTH. The concept of "sequel" here is hazy, subjective, and open to interpretation, for example Cinderella II is a direct to video movie with not nearly the same impact as the original Cinderella continues to have. Therefore this list doesn't have much encyclopedic value.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:59, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I came here thinking I would likely vote to keep this, but delete. Possibly merge some discussion of the longest gaps into Sequel, but only if they are well-sourced. bd2412 T 02:42, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Could you provide detail as to your reasoning?Zginder 2017-09-08T07:41:07Z
      • I do not find that the article demonstrates the proposition that the existence of a really long gap between sequels is a notable thing to document. A ten, twelve, fifteen year gap doesn't seem all that noteworthy, and there are no sources provided to explain what is considered to be a "long" gap; many of the entries are at least problematic. Also, is a story with a different set of characters set in the same fictional universe a "sequel"? Is a prequel a sequel? Is Superman Returns, with a completely different cast playing the same characters, properly called a "sequel" to Superman IV? There is no basis presented in reliable sources for delineating a list. bd2412 T 02:28, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • As referenced early in the discussion and in the article lead, the word, "sequel", is not to be taken literally. It is shorthand for any additional film to a franchise except for remakes. I would also like to remind you that just because there are some questionable entries does not make the list deletable. If you have a problem with a listing, then remove it or bring it up on the talk page. Zginder 2017-09-13T06:50:12Z
As also referenced earlier in the discussion, maybe the word should be taken literally. Or not. Or somewhere in between. Maybe we should include TV series and/or books/comics and/or miniseries and/or direct to video. Since no reliable sources discuss criteria, maybe anything goes. If you think Gravity is a sequel to Speed 2: Cruise Control, maybe we can create criteria that would allow that. You are suggesting we create a topic for which there are no reliable third-party sources. Having thus fully discarded WP:N and WP:V, we might as well create "List of yucky vegetables". - SummerPhDv2.0 12:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Almost no coverage of the musician in independent, reliable sources. The article has two references of which only one is valid.

Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. Unable to locate any significant secondary sources to expand his biography and support notability. No awards or charted songs, and of the 14 sources cited in the article, "ChopSquad" is mentioned on just 7 of them--usually it's just his name. The sources are:

  • [23] - Trivial mention.
  • [24] - Mentions his name.
  • [25] - No biographic information. This source only supports that ChopSquad DJ produced the song "We Be On It" by Lil Bibby.
  • [26] - Mentions his name.
  • [27] - Mentions his name.

"kollegekidd.com" discusses him in two of the articles, ([28][29]), but this appears to be a user-submitted blog (though this may not be correct).

Even The Guardian mentions him in an article here, but just his name.

Just because kollegekidd.com has been used in other articles doesn't mean it's a reliable source – it doesn't say anything about the editorial team on the website so it's hard to verify the claim that it has editorial oversight.

  • Keep The existence of pages for all other SNL hosts is not what WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is intended to mean -- as noted in the page itself, it's 'every Grey's Anatomy character having a page doesn't mean every Office character should', which is a slightly different issue. At any rate, I would agree with the arguments proposed in other AfDs that Spillman is a significant part of the SNL mythos and therefore notable. The strongest I would endorse is a rename to theoretically focus the article more on the episode than on Ms Spillman, but I think WP:BIO1E would categorize Spillman as a notable-for-one-event individual who rightfully received an article.

  • Keep. I just read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, something that very few editors who bandy its title about seem to do, and found that it contains the words

In categories of items with a finite number of entries where most are notable, it serves no useful purpose to endlessly argue over the notability of a minority of these items. For example, there have been AfD discussions for articles on individual area codes listed in the List of North American Numbering Plan area codes. Currently all links to area codes in use are blue links, which serves the purpose of Wikipedia being a comprehensive reference.

The category of items here is SNL hosts, and the vast majority are notable, so in the interest of Wikipedia being a comprehensive reference we should cover them all as long as they are verifiable. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:38, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete this and Willie Earl Green. My news archive searches on the murder found nothing. I'm not saying that there might not have bee a news story that I missed despite using a variety of keywords, only that there couldn't have been much. What did come up was a BLP1E-type flurry on Green's exoneration. The Los Angeles Times reported the story, Green always maintained he was innocent, kept his nose clean in prison, got an associate degree, worked in the prison library and married his penpal - all while in prison. He had been convicted based on the sole testimony of an eye-witness who was high on cocaine at the time of the murder; also police had falsely informed the witness that Green had previously been convicted of stealing from the murder victim. Judge therefore ruled that Green did not receive a fair trial. Sum total of coverage appears to have been two news stories in the Los Angeles Times, neither very long. Plus an AP story and a UPI story that got picked up by a number of newspapers. All in March 2008. It is a story that tugs at the heartstrings. But I am not persuaded that either the murder victim or the falsely assused man are notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:37, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

News searches returned only a single passing mention in Forbes. Open web searches gave nothing of any apparent value. All current references are to the official website. Does not appear to have garnered sufficient coverage to establish notability. Incidentally, article is fairly poorly written and overall promotional in tone.

  • Delete. Every website that exists does not get an automatic inclusion freebie — it has to be the subject of reliable source coverage in media to qualify for an article, and does not get to keep an article that's metareferenced exclusively to its own self-published content on itself. And as for the claim that an article is mandatory because one exists on FR, that's not a notability claim either — FR is just as user-generated as we are, so the fact that an article exists on FR doesn't necessarily mean it belongs there. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS still applies to content on other language Wikipedias, and not just internally to EN alone. Bearcat (talk) 21:05, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- 100% promo article on a private company with no indication of notability or significance. Such content is excluded per WP:NOTSPAM. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:55, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- The page was cleaned up and several sources were added to provide a neutral point of view and an encyclopedic angle. Ridesharing.com is the most recent name and the majority of sources points towards the previous name The Carpooling Network or the French version Covoiturage.ca, previously Le réseau de covoiturage which has numerous secondary sources. DallasMultipass (talk) 14:40, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
DallasMultipass (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Keep. This Canadian site is the English domain of fr:covoiturage.ca which have a good press coverage, interviews/topos. In English, mentioned in Forbes, and other medias. Also, this site is the database behind a lot of other important carpool networks like Bombardier, universities and Canadian cities. But it's true the tone might be a little promotional, but this can be fixed easily. Best regards. Osoyoos (talk) 22:34, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment -- the sources listed by Osoyoos are not convincing for notability. Forbes, for example, is from forbes.com/sites which is a user submitted area and does not count towards notability: 4 Ways to Increase Your Income This Month. The other links provides news clips on the company's web site, and they are the usual suspects -- interviews and other WP:SPIP sources. So unchanged for me: still "Delete". K.e.coffman (talk) 00:26, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As K.e.coffman says, The Forbes ref is just a directory entry and therefore unusable as a RS for notability -- we need to examine all Forbes refs to see which ones are not to actual editorial content. The others are either notices, PR, or both. DGG ( talk ) 03:09, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article written by a possible paid editor (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TiffanyTinnell). No evidence of notability. The 46 references consist of blogs, primary sources, and unreliable sources like IMDB.
