Promotional page for Instagram dog, created and largely written by SPA. WP:BEFORE shows two pieces of local coverage, and another "Burly Bear" that isn't the dog. No evidence this passes WP:NWEB or WP:GNG.

The result was no consensus. The !votes were evently split between keeping, merging, and deleting, and two different merge targets were put forward. I strongly recommend that editors interest in these Marvel lists join to discuss how to best present the information therein, or lists like this will likely end up at AfD again. – sgeureka tc 16:59, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is just a list of trivial, seemingly unrelated concepts with no notability. There is no reason to justify this as a fork article because there are hundreds of series articles and many character lists that handle the general characters.

A self-published author and self-proclaimed ghost hunter. The majority of the information here is unsourced, and the few references that are included are mostly from non-reliable sources (his own writings, non-notable websites, etc). It seems he did get a few mentions in Fortean Times, but as that is a publication dedicated to fringe paranormal theories, I'm not sure if the coverage from that counts as a reliable source for establishing notability. Searching for additional sources brought up absolutely nothing but mirrors of this article, so I don't see this passing the WP:GNG. Rorshacma (talk) 21:15, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of countries by carbon intensity

List of countries by carbon intensity (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)

I suggest this article is not useful to readers because:

1) The stats in the article are very detailed and out of date.

2) I doubt anyone will want to spend time updating the stats.

3) I don't think carbon intensity is a useful way to measure countries: because a very poor country with low emissions could have the same value as a very rich country with high emissions - however the poor country may need to increase its emissions without necessarily increasing its GDP - for example certain changes to the way people grow their own food to make sure they get enough to eat. Similarly some rich countries, e.g. Japan, may have much less renewable energy resources than others.

4) Article only covers energy so the title is misleading.

5) Other greenhouse gases are also important.

  • Draftify. If someone wants to update the stats, then they can (and if not, it will eventually get deleted as abandoned). If the stats are fixed (that's the only way the article would be useful), then #4 can be addressed with a page move and #3 and #5 are normal-type limitations of a measurement. A paragraph added to the article to explain the limitations would fix that. But with stats from 2011, then the article doesn't have much of a use. So draftify to give people an opportunity to fix the stats. 19:38, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
Ah thanks I had not heard of draftifying before. Sounds good. But does that mean someone has to put the draft under their account?Chidgk1 (talk) 16:28, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It would just need to be taken to the draft space, where it would hang out waiting for people to edit it. After about six months in the draft space with no edits, it would likely be considered to be abandoned and then deleted. The idea is that once it enters the draft space, it gets edited and fixed. Basically the idea is that the article could be potentially be a usable article, but has flaws that need to be addressed before the article should be returned to the public view (in this case, 8-year old stats that need updating badly).

  • Cool. If you have more accountants, you pollute less. This will save the world. Anarchangel (talk) 02:48, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I don't understand your point about accountants.Chidgk1 (talk) 16:14, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am strongly against deleting this article. Old statistics are still useful. I suggest changing the name to "List of countries by carbon intensity (1980-2011)". A new article "List of countries by carbon intensity" could be created with much less detail to keep track. The single table format of the List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions article is a good example. If we delete this article, should we delete all of these articles in five years time? List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions, List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita, List of countries by carbon intensity, List of countries by greenhouse gas emissions, List of countries by greenhouse gas emissions per capita, List of countries by ratio of GDP to carbon dioxide emissions, List of companies by carbon dioxide emissions per yearList of countries by carbon intensity, List of countries by greenhouse gas emissions, [List of countries by greenhouse gas emissions per capita]], List of countries by ratio of GDP to carbon dioxide emissions and List of companies by carbon dioxide emissions per year Maybe statisticians (and accountants) "are our last hope for the world's ecosystems".Oceanflynn (talk) 02:15, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[1][reply]

  • Comment, nominator appears to want this deleted because the information is out of date, not a reason for deletion, keepers above appear to want it retained because its useful, not a reason to keep it, we need more for it to meet WP:LISTN. Coolabahapple (talk) 01:38, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As the nominator I would say that it should be deleted because it is useless. Who is it useful for and how? However if these discussions should proceed via Wikpedia jargon then yes it is up to whoever wants to keep it to say how it meets WP:LISTN.Chidgk1 (talk) 17:27, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There is very little encyclopedic value in this article other than a massive list of stats which very little context. Ajf773 (talk) 22:29, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. At the moment, this page is the only source of this data. The original spreadsheet has been removed from the US Energy Information Administration's page for unknown reasons and is only partly archived at the internet archive. The subject, carbon intensity by country by year, is important enough to be referenced almost 100 times in articles and papers by the Energy Information Administration as well as in many other outside articles but that same agency does not provide the raw data any more. This article is notable and useful for anyone reading those or other articles who wish to verify the data.

So if I understand 69.209.27.128 right they are arguing that Wikipedia is the only source of some of the data? I thought that was against Wikipedia policy such as WP:RELIABLE so is that not an argument to delete? Chidgk1 (talk) 08:06, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While interesting if it wasn't a just a tabulation of data WP:ISNOT, even doing that wouldn't satisfy the policy. If a source creates a map of this data showing a snapshot for a recent year, say 2018, then that's a great image to put in a climate change related article. These data really aren't suitable for a list article though. Kingofaces43 (talk) 22:28, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(As Discospinster and Alexf say, Mister Supranational has been deleted as non-notable, and if the whole thing is not notable then one year's edition of it can scarcely be notable, so I can see the logic in Alexf's suggestion of speedy deletion. However, that would require an application of IAR, since this is not a copy of the same page, as required by CSD G4, and "Non-notable" is not a speedy deletion criterion.)

  • Merge I guess this is sensibly stupid. Look at the Murder of Yvonne Jonsson which was a prolonged issue between Sweden and Sri Lanka since that Royal Park murder in 2005. The convict was given Presidential pardon by former outgoing President Maithripala Sirisena and the issue is over. This too will soon finish within few days. It will be pointless and waste of time to have such an article. Better to merge with 2019 in Sri Lanka. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.157.216.89 (talk) 16:37, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I don't see this as a WP:ROUTINE event and this clearly passes GNG. Not a major reason to delete. Juxlos (talk) 17:19, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge a few sentences to Sri Lanka–Switzerland relations. This is a minor diplomatic tiff that is not going to rate a footnote in the history books. It's generating some short term news coverage but the long term significance is likely to be somewhere near zero and it fails the WP:10YT test. See also WP:Recentism. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:28, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    As that article has no other content, it would immediately fail WP:WEIGHT (which, unlike 10YT, is actual policy). Jeez, it'd make more sense to AfD the "relations" article (not suggesting we actually do so). GreatCaesarsGhost 19:39, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    10YT is an explanatory supplement to the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not policies.

  • Comment As the article creator I take the blame for creating this article and I agree with WP:NOTNEWS policy. However I feel sources such as BBC and New York Times continue to give updates regarding the incident but not on regular basis. The local Sri Lankan sources are regularly updating the incident. The officials have also revealed the name of the woman staff Gania Banister Francis which was confirmed by Swiss authorities. Actually she was initially considered as the aggrieved party and then she is accused of playing a blunder regarding the incident and has also been arrested. In this case, both the victim and accuser is the same person (Gania Banister Francis). I think it is better to merge the article and I take the responsibility for creating article like this.

  • It's clearly both notable and has ongoing coverage. I would go along with either a keep or a merge. Bearian (talk) 15:52, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - we need more useful information on Wikipedia, not less. This is an ongoing story with several hooks. Switzerland wants to deal with the past [1] and is doubting the rule of law in Sri Lanka [2]. Newly-elected president Rajapaksa does not want to deal with the past [3] and takes the incident personally [4]. Wakari07 (talk) 23:08, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I never thought this Afd would go so long. The embassy issue is a serious legal case. The incident is actually notable as it is still regarded as ongoing legal case in Sri Lanka. Prior to this case, the bond between Sri Lanka and Switzerland have always been controversial ever since the end of 2009 civil war. Tamils have seeked asylum mostly in Switzerland and this has caused rifts between the two nations. I also remember there was another pending legal case on Murder of Yvonne Jonsson who was a Swedish young girl who was murdered in Royal Park, Colombo in 2005. The former President gave pardon to the perpetrator and it caused some sort of issues between Sweden and Sri Lanka. The Swiss embassy case is somewhat similar this. Some reports allege it was Swiss authorities who used Gania Banister Francis as a propaganda to further aggravate the situation between two nations. I don't know who really started this issue first and I contributed to this article by maintaining WP:NPOV. But I am facing severe backlash and criticsms from the outsiders for being the author of this article. I also might face legal consequences for creating article of this kind. This case might not be much covered like the Impeachment of Donald Trump, death penalty of Pervez Musharraf or the Indian Citizenship Amendment Act protests but still I assure Sri Lankan Swiss embassy controversy is very much notable. Its up to the admins to decide upon this. Abishe (talk) 04:03, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge whatever can be salvaged per WP:V, and it wouldn't be small game, to Sri Lanka–Switzerland relations, per nomination. Editors demanding more text from the nominator confuse substance with quantity: Invoking a specific policy can be enough; there's no obligation for elaboration. The article's subject fails the criteria for a stand-alone Wikipedia entry per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:TOOSOON, as even the article's creator acknowldeged above.

  • Self merge I have come to this conclusion after looking at the recent proposals made by fellow editors ever since relisting the discussion. I myself came to this conclusion in order to give my fullest cooperation to the admins. I have created articles such as 2019 cyberattacks on Sri Lanka, 2019 railway strike in Sri Lanka which are even smaller than this article. I prefer this to be merged with 2019 in Sri Lanka over Sri Lanka–Switzerland relations because the list article is much bigger than the latter. I thought instead of reaching No concensus result its better to go with either 'Merge or Keep. The discussion has caused dilemma and I leave it to admins to take final decision. Here after I feel no point in engaging myself into this discussion. Abishe (talk) 04:23, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lacks NPOV, lacks notability LordDimwit (talk) 18:26, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Genesis 1:28 is the commonly-known "Be fruitful and multiply..." verse. However, this page, which is what Wikipedia sends you to if you look up "be fruitful and multiply" and is the first Google result from Wikipedia, is concerned primarily with the Reformed Tradition notion of the "cultural mandate".

While the concept of the "cultural mandate" exists within certain strains of Christianity, it is not synonymous with "Be fruitful and multiply..." and therefore the title of the page itself is inaccurate and in violation of NPOV. I would argue that the concept of "cultural mandate" is not worth an article on its own; it can be folded into Dominion theology.

As for the verse in Genesis itself, I think its sufficiently discussed in the article on the Genesis creation narrative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordDimwit (talkcontribs) 20:42, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's not just that the article lacks NPOV: it's also not worthy of its own page (sorry, I don't know what the term is for that..."lacks notability"?). See my reasoning above: the topics covered by the page are better covered by the existing articles on Dominion theology and Genesis creation narrative.
And additionally, the only way to fix the lack of NPOV on the page is to delete it and/or make it such that the link for "Be fruitful and multiply" doesn't point to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordDimwit (talkcontribs) 20:42, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I must apologise: this article has been on my to-do list for years, and I've never got around to expanding it. It's certainly a notable concept (though within the Reformed tradition) and much bigger than dominion theology. Of course, "Be fruitful and multiply" could still be an article by itself, and could also discuss the Quiverfull movement. StAnselm (talk) 22:38, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- The article is essentially a commentary on one verse of the Bible. "Be fruitful and multiply" would be a better title. There is probably a lot of scope for giving the views of other Christian (and Jewish) commentators on it, but this is not an article pushing one POV in a way that cannot be remedied.

  • Delete. There are no valid reliable sources here to get it over WP:CORPDEPTH — out of 15 footnotes, literally the only one that's actually a reliable or notability-supporting publication at all just features a brief soundbite from the president of the company as one of 13 soundbite-givers in an "answer a generic business question" column which is not a substantive article about the company, and all of the other sources are primary sources that are not valid support for notability at all — but the article makes no notability claim strong enough to exempt it from having to have much better sourcing than this, either.

Article PRODded with reason "Unsourced since 2008, website is dead. Cannot find an ISSN." Article dePRODded with reason "ISSN 0883072X - rm prod". Besides the ISSN, three references were added. The fist one is a single reference to an article published in this journal, but a smattering of such citations is nothing out of the ordinary and to be expected. The second is the list of issues of this journal on JSTOR, supporting the age of the journal. The third is the most substantial one and is a single sentence in a book, listing 4 journals that "contain superb source materials on intelligence". None of the sources provide any in depth discussion of the subject. Apart from that, the journal is not indexed in any database (selective or not; see here]). Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NJournals.

  • Comment: I disagree. Clicking on the link to GScholar renders results to different journals, plus some results to this journal, but most articles have been cited only a handful of times. As I said above, a smattering of citations is to be expected, but 1400 would not necessarily even make a single academic notable, let alone a whole journal. In short, I do not think that this meets NJournals#2. (And note that any journal that gets cited even at minimal rates will be picked up by the Science Citation Index or Scopus. Not being in either one of those is a good indication that the number of cites this journal has gotten over its 40-year history is not important). --Randykitty (talk) 09:26, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The most cited article from this journal I'm seeing on GScholar has 34 cites. I see 5 articles total with over 10 cites. Non-existent general coverage doesn't help, either, and the article really milks its claims from nothing. The "superb source materials" claim is made as if it's a statement of fact, when it was a passing opinion dropped about a list of other journals, as mentioned in the nom.

This fails to establish notability. Sources from the previous AfD were mostly just pop-culture articles about their role in a then upcoming movie.

  • May I ask what makes Playthings magazine not a proper source? It is publication that ran for over 100 years independently and continues to do so in a more compact form after business merger decisions, and it is still accessible for the most part. -2pou (talk) 17:55, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not proper as in it doesn’t list the actual publication by the company or any indication that those toys in particular are even related to this topic. All it says is Transformers in general for that year, which certainly released more than just one set of toys in an entire year. TTN (talk) 18:00, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see. You were trying to say that the claim in the article is not being sourced properly. It reads as if you are claiming Playthings magazine is not a proper source to be used by people in the first place.
    That said, I'm not sure that this is accurate. The publication is Playthings, and the publisher at the time was Geyer-McAllister Publications. We can add publisher=Geyer-McAllister Publications to the cs1 citation template, though this is not a comonly used, nor required attribute. You don't often see "{cite magazine |magazine=The New Yorker | publisher=Condé Nast...}", but I guess a full publisher citation can be added. The exact publication seems to be listed as the December 1985 issue. I am not familiar with the work, but some periodicals only use a Date and not a Volume/Issue number. Either way, Volume/Issue numbers are not required to track down the issue when a date is provided. The title of the article itself is "Transformers named top toy of '85; buyers representing 3,500 stores cast votes for best-sellers in Playthings survey". The lead seems to be claiming that within that article, the Dinobots are discussed somewhere, not necessarily THE top, but somewhere in there. I'd be willing to bet Barbie is somewhere in that article as well. This can be confusing since Dinobots are Transformers, and Transformers topped the list and are used in the article name. It could be read as a quote instead of an article title name, but journal/magazine article/paper names are in quotes when using a cs1 template, and they are not italicized. Now, I could see an interpretation where someone just took that article name and put it into any transformers related article, which wouldn't apply to Dinobots specifcally, but I have to assume good faith that the editor that added the information actually read material related to Dinobots within. I'm not willing to travel to the aforementioned museum in New York to find the issue in question to prove or disprove this, though.
    All that is just about one particular source, which won't establish notability by itself, but per WP:AGF I don't think it should be discounted. I just saw what I thought was a magazine being discredited and started digging. We'll see if more are brought to light, though. -2pou (talk) 20:35, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Transformers articles had a huge problem with improperly used sources to basically try to look important, so I wouldn't automatically AGF. There was a real problem several years ago with vehement defense of poor articles and the implementation of said sources to try to keep them. As for this source, I think that quote is a description of what the source is supposed to be rather than a name of an article. Putting the text into Google, all that comes up is Transformers Wikipedia and Fandom stuff. I feel like that text would be out there somewhere if it came directly from a publication.

  • Merge the G1 part into Autobots, minus the long and detailed plot descriptions. JIP | Talk 19:50, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Most of those are just minor pop culture pieces without anything to actually say on the topic. As I said, it did get attention for their roles in the one movie, but that's a commonplace style of news reporting in the last decade to pick up Google hits. It doesn't help display anything more than a temporary interest based on search trends. TTN (talk) 18:57, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I hear 2pou. I would be open to supporting keeping this article if I believed anyone was doing/was going to start doing the work to make it passable. My experience with Transformers articles, however, is that they languish indefinitely with maintenance templates with people tweaking the plot summaries. I've seen cases of AfDs closed as a merge that never even got merged as someone removed the "this needs to be merged" template or just reverted to an earlier version of the article after the fact.

  • Keep This is a tough one to unpack, but this is what needs to be done. Move this article to Cylon as the obvious WP:PRIMARYTOPIC while moving the disambiguation page to Cylon (disambiguation). Merge the other 2 Cylon articles into it (this page is the oldest of them), while heavily pruning them for cruft. Cylons are definitely notable (see also: Cylons in America: Critical Studies in Battlestar Galactica), but the two separate articles are rather unnecessary.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:46, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but selective-merge Cylon (1978) and Cylon (reimagining) into this. The concept is clearly notable enough to pass AfD per Zxcvbnm, but all the WP:Content forking is unnecessary. – sgeureka tc 09:22, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The topic is notable beyond mere plot regurgitation. As ZXCVBNM points out, there have been critical analyses not just about Battlestar Galactica as a whole, but about the Cylons specifically. I'll add another to the list: [8] That said, merging the content forks would be wise. --GentlemanGhost (séance) 15:45, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Zxcvbnm. I agree that this seems to be the primary topic so a move would make sense to me, but that is a different conversation entirely. I also agree with Sgeureka as I think it would be beneficial to somehow have one comprehensive article on the Cylons from both shows. I am not entirely sure how it would work, but it is a good idea at the very least. Aoba47 (talk) 01:57, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but merge three entries into one per sgeureka. It's sad that when there's a ton of fancruft on minor and clearly non-notable topics this one is in such a dire state. Merge all three entries, yes, but I think the topic of Cylons is notable. Here are some sources which seem to discuss this fictional race in depth: [9], [10], [11], [12], and somewhat less in-depth but still worth noting [13]. Most fictional races are not notable. This one very much is. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:24, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I considered nominating this for CSD WP:G4, but the previous AFD was almost ten years ago, and I have no idea if the article content is substantially similar, so perhaps it's better to bring this to AFD for consideration. I essentially agree with the previous nominator, and I don't believe anything has changed since then. This is a borderline WP:BLP1E and WP:PERP fail, with the obvious caveat that she is known for two things. However, it is still really no more than a case of someone having 15 minutes of fame for one trivial curiosity, and then briefly raising to public consciousness again because an otherwise fairly unremarkable robbery-murder happened to be committed by someone who had previously been a media curiosity, and the press can never resist that.

How do you propose that we write an encyclopedia article that does justice to the topic on the basis of those two publications? (Also do you know how many thousands of books would fall into the same permastub criteria if that where the bar was set?) czar 00:52, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thousands of books are certainly notable but I wouldn't claim to know how many. It might be interesting to do a Fermi estimate at some point. But note that whatever the number is, the number of non-notable books is far higher. Even books by notable authors from established publishers often fail to get two independent reviews. It's true that for books (or other topics) that only barely meet our notability criteria, we are often only in a position to write a short article. Maybe a couple of paragraphs summarizing the book's contents and one paragraph summarizing a couple of reviews. But short articles can still be quite useful. In some cases, of course, we can merge to series or author articles if we feel readers are better served that way. Haukur (talk) 01:03, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have both of these paywalled "reviews" in front of me and they're each a single paragraph, i.e., minimal actual review and 90% synopsis. I can't see how this can be the basis for writing an article nevertheless asserting notability. In my experience, this is par for PW and Booklist, which are used for librarians to make purchase orders (trade publications), not to assess literary merit, hence why I called this coverage routine. czar 08:20, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is probably too much detail here for a WP:CSD, however, as you sift through the refs there is no quality RS of which he is the main subject. A WP:BEFORE reveals no SIGCOV from any RS where he is the main subject. All references to him are from online blogs/paid-speaker websites (he is a motivitional speaker), which are not suitable RS for Wikipedia. The BLP also has a strong PROMO feel to it.

  • The Forbes article is part of the "Forbes Paid Program" (e.g. not independent); YahooFinance is not RS; the author having books on Amazon that no decent, never mind high-quality, RS wants to do a full review of, does not add to GNG. The RS in this article are not Wikipedia RS - there is no high-quality or even decent quality RS that has done a pice specifically on him. All we have are blogs/paid-speaker blogs etc. We don't even have a single major interview/profile piece on this subject from a full/proper RS, and for a BLP, we really need WP:THREE.

1. No. This is an article by the BLP subject, so is not independent.
2. No. This is a local news network, not a proper RS for an encyclopedia; also not about him but advice from his book.
3. No. This is not about him but 7 different motivational books; and per comments above is from Forbes "paid program" (i.e. the article is marked with Forbes and/or the author may earn a commission on sales made from links on this page); not something that can be used in an encyclopedia.
4. Not really. Inc is closer to an RS (but not a full RS); however, it is not about him, but just some advice per WP:MILL activity in his business.
5. Not really. The article is from LearnVest (a financial planning software company, and not an RS for a motivational speaker BLP); is not a piece on him, but is him giving advice in a 7-minute read section (e.g. is it a WP:MILL piece for a promotional/motivational speaker)
6. This is not an RS, and even within the website, it is from an author who is CEO and Founder of ReadersLegacy.com, Author, Speaker and Publishing Industry Advocate, and has the caveat of Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own – E.g. not even editorial oversite. Again, not RS for a BLP but just more WP:MILL in the promotional/motivational speaking industry.
Sorry, but again, there is no material RS who wants to do a proper piece on this subject as a notable person; therefore, why would Wikipedia? Step back from this and ask yourself, is there even a single material RS who considers John Livesey notable enough to do a piece on him as the subject? I can't find any? Sorry about that.

First, the notability guidelines do not apply to content within an article. This article is a self-promotional page, please verify the content. eg. “In September 2017 he co-founded, with renowned economist Nouriel Roubini, Rosa&Roubini Associates, an independent consultancy firm, in which he serves as CEO and head of research“. There is a substantial difference between self-promotion and being a public figure. Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate information and cannot be used for self promoting professional activities. The article is just the personal page of the corporate website of the company Mr. Rosa runs. Please check https://rosa-roubini-associates.com/brunello-rosa. Second, the article is poorly sourced and it's self referential it doesn't provide a neutral point of view. Furthermore, the article claims that Mr Rosa is fellow at the systemic risk centre at LSE, but it is not possible to verify it http://www.lse.ac.uk/fmg/people. Mr Rosa can ask the universities - where he allegedly claims to work - to host his personal page and can always contributes to the development of wikipedia pages on economy. In conclusion, this page is a self-promotional biography based on self-promotional and self-published sources. Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate information and cannot be used for self promoting professional activities. I propose to delete the biography of this person is not encyclopedic and does not respect wikipedia standards. Can an uninvolved editor evaluate the article to make sure it is respecting wiki policy, fairly written and properly sourced? Ms4263nyu (talk) 08:40, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I found this through the academics and educators deletion sorting list, but he appears not to be an academic economist, his scholarly publications in economics are minimal and largely uncited, and so WP:PROF seems out of the question and we are left with WP:GNG. It is difficult to discern from the sourcing of the article (where nothing is a footnote and everything is an external link) but most sources seem to be by him not about him, and the rest are spammy press-release journalism rather than in-depth stories about him written and published by others. Searching Google News for his name largely confirmed this picture. So I don't see a pass of WP:GNG, but maybe it is buried under the unsourced detail and bad sources of the existing article? Even if so, WP:TNT applies. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:18, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus I'm closing this as a procedural non-consensus. I would have done so much earlier had I sen this afd. It seems from the discussion and the sources available that the individual articles must be disccused separately--the evidence for notability seems strogner for some than for others, but I have no particular opinion of my own about any of them. I point out that according to [[WP:GNG, the existence of sources that meet the notability requirement does not necessarily mean there should be individual articles--a combination article can be a practical solution--such a combination article can be much more extensive than a mere list.

All of these designer dog crossbreeds fail GNG. A couple of them are mentioned specifically in the 2007 New York Times Magazine story "The Modern Kennel Conundrum", but a mere acknowledgement that some F1 & F2 crossbred dogs are marketed under a portmanteau does not confer notability. Google shows up the usual "owners guides" and "complete owners manuals" from the same authors that pump out identical books retitled for every designer crossbreed imaginable. Cavalryman (talk) 00:49, 5 December 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Don't know about the other dogs, but Goldendoodle gets 58 million hits on Google. I would think that constitutes "significant coverage" per GNG. MartinezMD (talk) 01:49, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all per William Harris. Many, many possible crossbreeds. I thought Goldendoodle might be salvagable, but not with what I could find on Google, Google News, and Google scholar. For instance, Goldendoodle has many citations, but most are to either primary sources or sources of dubious quality (Kurt Vonnegut's personal letters as a source of information about dogs?).

  • Procedural keep, as a bundle of 10+ afds will require at least a couple of hours to carry out even a perfunctory search for possible sources ie. 1st 5 pages of gsearch, and did the nominator even consider redirects to List of dog crossbreeds as likely wikireader search terms?

  • Comment - I have no wish to impugn the two procedural keep !voters, but implicit in your comments is a presumption of bad faith in assuming due diligence has not be followed by me as nominator and those who have !voted delete (I take issue with the use of the word of lazy). Can you produce any RS to support the retention of any of the above? I have searched everywhere I know and cannot, to my surprise in some cases. The same due diligence would be applicable to seventeen separate nominations as is required (and has been carried out) in this joint nomination. Cavalryman (talk) 07:11, 8 December 2019 (UTC).[reply]
    • Comment - I don't have to produce reliable sources to support any of them - I'm saying the mass-nomination of multiple pages shouldn't have been done and the AfD should be closed on that procedural basis - I'm not arguing necessarily that any individual page is notable or not, just that the nomination is improper. You say you haven't found any sources - have you been to a university library and tried proper veterinary textbooks and the like that would discuss this sort of thing - that is much more likely to be where any reliable sources on dog breeds are to be found, rather than Google searching (for example).

  • Strong delete - WP should not be used as a promotional tool for "designers" and "wannabe breeds" that haven't met the minimum breed standards of notable breed registries and kennel clubs that keep track of parentage, conduct DNA testing, and can provide verifiability. I do have some reservations about the Cockapoo, not as a breed but as it relates to popularity...but then, famous doesn't qualify for a WP article on its own, and without a reputable breed registry keeping track of parentage and being able to verify that it's a purebred...well, WP may be unknowingly helping puppy mills and other types of scams by giving encyclopedic recognition to a breed that neither exists nor is verifiable. Atsme Talk 📧 21:57, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment so I just looked at Maltipoo as I had a friend who had one. The article itself may not be the best sourced - are those dog sources reliable, especially petbreeds.com and dogtime.com? A news search for Maltipoo brought up heaps of articles as well, and there have been books written which specifically discuss the breed. Perhaps they're self-published, perhaps it's truly not notable, but I have some extreme reservations about deleting all of these at once given the amount of hits that come up. SportingFlyer T·C 01:42, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Quick example of why WP should not be used as a marketing/promotional tool for designer crosses - cruel, not cute. This is the Maltipoo club and registry. Spend a bit of time reviewing the site and compare it to the reputable AKC or KC sites. Sadly, puppy mills are everywhere - it's the quackery and fringe of dog breeding. They sell on Craigs List, and all over the internet where scams run rampant. Atsme Talk 📧 03:35, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Out of curiosity, how is our current Multipoo article at all promotional? I did see some news articles such as this which show you're correct, but I don't know why they wouldn't be added to the article instead of using it as grounds for deletion to help present a NPOV. I also did not come across the Tripod article as a potential source in my search. SportingFlyer T·C 04:32, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

        The Beagalier

        Name variations: Beaglier

        The Beagalier is a dog with lots of character and energy. It also has the attractive features of the two parent breeds, the Beagle and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Bred for health and good temperament, the Beagalier is steadily acquiring a following.

        History of the Beagalier

        The Beagalier became particularly popular through crossbreeding programs in Australia during the 1990s and is still one of the crosses produced by major breeders. Apart from capitalizing on the existing affection for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Beagle parent breeds, the breeders were looking for a healthy, energetic small dog with a less active scent drive than that of the Beagle.

        The book provides six pages of coverage about the Beagalier.

        Beagalier

        History/Evolution: A cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Beagle, the Beagalier was first bred in Australi in the 1990s, focused on reducing the Beagle's scent-hunting drive and wandering tendencies. The crossbreed may have a positive effect on health problems associated with the Cavalier, including heart conditions and other issues related to the shortened face. The typical Beagalier has a good temperament and resembles both parent breeds.

        The book then discusses the breed's size, color, temperament, energy level, best owner, needs, and life expectancy.

        92. Cavoodle

        Originating in Australia, the Cavoodle is a cross of pure Miniature or Toy Poodle with the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, producing a smaller version of the Cockapoo or Spoodle. The affectionate and sweet disposition of the Cavalier King Charles beautifully complements the Toy Poodle's qualities of extreme intelligence and loyalty. Bred as companion dogs, the Cavalier's laid-back and sociable qualities combined with those of the easily trained and responsive Poodle make the Cavoodle exceptionally well suited to family life. The cross has also seen the development of a healthier breed, with many of the genetic problems of the original breeds being greatly reduced. Easy to care for and extremely tolerant and gentle with children, these modern dogs are growing in popularity.

        The book then discusses the breed's appearance and color.

        8. Cavoodle

        The Cavapoo or Cavoodle is a hypoallergenic dog breed that hardly sheds or drools. They are a cross between a miniature or toy poodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

        In Australia in the late 1990s, this breed became highly popular with crossbreeding programs.

        They are even-tempered with Toy Cavoodles growing to between 28cm to 35cm at the shoulder as adults.

        Mini Cavoodles will grow to between 33cm to 45cm at the shoulder as adults.

        Note: While the breeds in this collection tend to be more allergy-friendly, no dog can be guaranteed not to cause any allergic reaction and individual pets will vary. Do not stop taking allergy medicine without speaking to your doctor.

        The book notes:

        The Cockerpooo — a cross between the American Cocker Spaniel and the Miniature Poodle — is growing in popularity. Like other breeds, the first dogs were the result of unplanned matings, but more recently, as numbers have increased, matings between Cockerpoos have become planned. The Poodle is evident, both in the face and coat texture, and in the personality of this new "breed." Like the Poodle, the Cockerpoo is an intent observer, not given to the hyperactive excesses of many American Cocker Spaniels. An added bonus is that the Cockerpoo has a much lower incidence of skin problems than the American Cocker.

        The Mal-Shi, also known as a Malti Tzu is hybrid created by crossing a purebred Maltese with a purebred Shih Tzu. Like most hybrids, they are not recognized by any major kennel club, but are becoming increasingly more popular and quite sought-after. The Mal-Shi has the characteristics of both breeds, often with the coloring of the Shih Tzu and the fluffy coat of the Maltese. They are playful little dogs, great with children, and energetic in nature. They are confident and loyal and like to make new acquaintances, both canine and human.

        The Mal-Shi owner must be committed to grooming their dog regularly, even twice a day in some cases, for its fluffy coat can become easily matted if neglected. However, there are advantages, as the Mal-Shi's coat is low-shedding making it a popular choice for those who may have allergies.

The Maltipoo likes nothing better than being at the center of attention, and will settle for nothing less. These little, fluffy dogs are not happy being left alone and will bark. Sometimes Maltipoos take time to accept strangers, and can be aloof, but they are devoted and affectionate to people they know and trust. Similarly, they do not always accept other dogs at first, and time should be taken to properly socialize them. Despite their small size, Maltipoos like to get out and about and enjoy a good walk and a lively play session.

  • Delete in general. WP:NEOLOGISM is the relevent policy requiring significant sustained useage, and I agree with what appears to be the current consensus that List of dog crossbreeds handles these generally non-notable cross-breeds fine. Cunard's listings above don't really convince me otherwise on those areas. As Fish+Karate said though, I do think Cockapoo, Goldendoodle, and Goldador could warrant having their own individual AfD instead (with no prejudice against the filer for filing these as all one). Those might be more likely to be redirects instead (e.g., golden lab already redirects to Labrador Retriever, and using goldador tries to bypass that, but individual AfD is the best place for that kind of focused cleanup. Overall though, encyclopedic articles would be sticking to mostly recognized breeds as one standard. Simply doing a cross and making up a name and having a few sources that are fairly indiscriminate WP:NOTCATALOGUE, does not meet notability. Kingofaces43 (talk) 17:40, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - not trying to be critical of your comment, but just wanted to note that AfD is not the place to clean up articles. AfD is for articles that don't meet notability standards. Bookscale (talk) 23:44, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • That is a common mistake when people don't differentiate AfD itself and the deletion option. AfD can be a place for such cleanup. For deletion though, WP:DELETIONISNOTCLEANUP is true. That other shortcut link there saying AfD itself isn't for cleanup is a misnomer that often confuses people. There are plenty of other options at AfD besides just keep or delete. That's why we have options such as merge, redirect, transwikify, etc. at AfDs for cleaning up issues that fall outside of just the notability question such as redundancy or already being covered appropriately elswhere. There's a lot of cleanup being discussed here related to article titles and deletion, and that's a core part of AfD when questions of notability and layout come up but deletion isn't the best option.

    • WP:NEOLOGISM says, "To support an article about a particular term or concept, we must cite what reliable secondary sources say about the term or concept, not just sources that use the term (see use–mention distinction)." WP:NEOLOGISM does not apply to 13 of the dog breeds nominated for deletion because there are reliable secondary sources about the term and concept. A number of those dog breeds even have entire chapters or entire books written about them. Cunard (talk) 11:18, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • We can't cherry-pick just that and have to go by the spirit of that essay too. Remember that we're still lacking significant secondary coverage of those new compounds that NEOLOGISM describes. That higher-tier sources such as the AKC and other naming organizations aren't formally recognizing the names is a huge red flag on the neologism front. With such a disparity (i.e, WP:DUE, it doesn't really matter if someone can find a handful of books or a chapter. If a cross-breed isn't formally recognized, there's already a framework in articles of current breeds (or the list article) for discussing cross-bred traits. Kingofaces43 (talk) 21:45, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I've already voted keep all on procedural grounds because the amount of source material required to properly evaluate all of these articles is ridiculously large, but I'd also be now inclined to support and keep the articles where Cunard has very helpfully found sources, for the reasons suggested. Bookscale (talk) 23:44, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm just an IP, so my vote wouldn't matter in any case... But I want to point out that a lot of people are referring to "recognized breeds" in terms of kennel clubs, so you're basically saying Wikipedia should endorse these private orgs definition of breeds. Many classic working breeds (such as border collies) resisted joining kennel clubs such as the AKC for 50+ years because breeding for show and meeting appearance-based "breed standards" has a notable and measurable reduction in health. The Jack Russell Terrier is an example of a breed that STILL resists joining a major "established kennel club", for this very reason (they have their own breeding association). Other things to consider is that, for example, there is a Goldendoodle breeding association of North America. I'm just wary of the arguments that there are "official" breeds or "official" clubs. Arguments should be made about notability or not, rather than which specific organization endorses which specific types of dogs. Focus on notability. Another side note, but Guide Dogs of America uses Goldadors extensively, which is notable in of itself. I'm not providing sources, as I'm just an IP and my comment will likely be ignored anyway, but I hope people read and process this comment in any case. Cheers. I hope the discussion goes more towards notability and less about what amounts to dog politics. -IP — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.183.144.120 (talk) 14:49, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as this is a train wreck. I was just working on the article about a famous dog and added a link to cavapoo (which redirects to cavoodle) because that's the stated breed of an associated dog owned by another famous politician. The source for this was a journal of record and so is quite respectable. As such sources reference such breeds then we will just have to deal with it and turning their names into red links would be disruption contrary to numerous policies including WP:ATD, WP:BEFORE; WP:NOTPAPER, WP:PRESERVE and, of course, WP:BITE.

  • Comment, several sources have been presented for a number from this list but no attempts have been made to improve any (I will note that a number of the quotes above read as advertorials and can be used to establish little more than the two parent breeds). Until someone takes the time to improve them, at a minimum those articles should be WP:DRAFTIFYd. Cavalryman (talk) 16:45, 15 December 2019 (UTC).[reply]
  • AfD is not an article improvement service and draftification is just backdoor deletion because it stops people from being able to find the articles. Our policy is to develop topics in mainspace, where everyone can find them and pitch in.

    "Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles. Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome. ..."

If Cavalryman wants to collaborate to improve an article such as Beaglier, per {{sofixit}}, there's nothing stopping him. As it is, all he seems to have done is make a drive-by nomination for deletion with no constructive edits or talkpage discussion. He didn't even make courtesy notifications on the talk pages of the editors who created these articles. Just how are they supposed to discover what has happened to their creations if they are moved elsewhere without notification?
Andrew🐉(talk) 17:18, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree Andrew. It's also worth noting (as it seems to be frequently misunderstood on AfDs) that notability can be established independently from the status of an article. If the sources above show notability, then the articles should be kept regardless of their current status. And the onus is not on any particular user to improve the article in order to keep it. This is the inherent problem with these mass nominations of articles, which is why I have argued for a complete keep all, with no prejudice to any particular articles being re-nominated and assessed on their individual merit.

  • ’’’Comment’’’ - Yes, designer breeds exist. Yes, they are popular. Yes, they are cute. Yes, WP:NOT states: ”... merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia.” Famous, popular and cute is not a good reason to include, and neither is mention in a book when verification of the breed/parentage is unreliable and reliant on visual ID. Science has demonstrated that visual IDs are faulty; therefore, so-called “designer breeds” or dog types are sketchy at best. If they did breed true, they would have been recognized by a reputable breed registry. Instead, we have puppy mills and backyard breeders gouging unsuspecting buyers with potentially false and misleading information while selling them on “looks”. Inclusion of such articles is dangerously close-skirting policy because we would be accepting unverifiable crossbreeds and giving them encyclopedic recognition based on anecdotal information, not verifiable facts, historical accounts, quality record-keeping or DNA results that verify lineage. I also hesitate over merging such articles to the true breed articles because the former represents crossbreeds that lack verifiability of parentage by RS. Most are based entirely on anecdotal accounts. WP articles should provide sound, verifiable information, and I am not convinced that unverifiable crossbreeds meet that expectation, regardless of the number of online sources and/or dog books that contribute to their fame and popularity of a purported (unofficially recognized and unverifiable) designer breed.

  • This stuff about "true breeds" is unscientific. Per this paper, most dogs have little genetic variation, being descended from "just three original founding females". It follows that "dog breeds do not represent a biological classification; rather hobbyists are responsible". Per WP:NPOV, we have no right or reason to take sides between the various hobby communities and clubs, regardless of how they dignify themselves. I am writing this in London where the Queen is content with her dorgis and her Prime Minister has a Jack Russell cross. If such pillars of society are content with dogs that are not "true breeds", we should likewise be tolerant and accommodating. Andrew🐉(talk) 15:34, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not once does that article state that there is very little genetic variation between dog breeds; that is your interpretation of what the sociologists said. Perhaps you might pursue what evolutionary biologists have to say on the topic. That breeds can be identified by their mDNA is proven, and there are numerous businesses that do just that. It is also proven that "pure breeding" leads to deleterious genes - not a good thing for dogs. It is unclear what the term "biological classification" brings to your mind, nobody is arguing that a breed is a subspecies of C. lupus. William Harristalk 10:37, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I know that you will not discuss further, but you do seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of WP:BROADCAST. That guideline says about radio stations: Notability can be established by either a large audience, established broadcast history, or being the originator of some programming.

  • Weak delete – the keep argument is insufficient for establishing notability. However, I am a bit hesitant to vote delete if there's a chance that the book sources that PK650J947 identified actually do contain significant coverage.

I can't find any English language reviews or significant coverage suggesting this passes GNG or NTV, nor anything in machine-translated Afrikaans, but I can't speak it, so there could be sources I can't find, so I'm opting for an AFD over PROD. SITH (talk) 14:33, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This was a major (by South African standards) TV show during my childhood. As I understand the AFD tag is mainly about lack of sourcing? It does seem that the article name is misspelled, it should be Mannemerak (see intro credits on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeXWdtnEYS8). It does also exist on IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9541114/. The misspelling seems quite common on the internet though: https://findwords.info/term/manemarak. I hardly remember making this page (sorry about the typo), but irrespective of the fact that I created the stub, it would be sad for Mannemerak to be considered non-notable.

I'm not seeing any independent sourcing other than unreliable sources like IMDB, Netflix, etc. This was put up for a WP:PROD which was removed more than once despite the fact there no reliable sources used as references at that time: [15] [16]. I'm not seeing anything else that indicates strong notability to meet WP:NACTOR. She was in The Librarians (2014 TV series), which has an article. But I'm not seeing another notable work she is in with a reliable source for it.

  • Oppose deletion, at present. [Disclosures: I have no personal interest, direct or indirect, in this individual, and so have no POV issue to declare. Otherwise, I am a regular academic editor with thousands of edits, who for personal reasons chooses not to log. Various other editors and adminstrators are aware of my work.] I oppose the deletion, at present, because the issue with the article appears to be quality of sourcing, a matter that can be remedied. (Contrary to the perspective of @David Tornheim:, clicking on the link in the AfD template message brings up several reliable published sources, including for a recent appearance in Netflix's new (and clearly notable) series, Love, Death and Robots. Hence, I think a deletion is premature. I regularly attend to articles whose sourcing is even worse than this; moreover, despite the UK being part of the coverage of en.wikipedia.org, there is no gainsaying that there is a bias in perspective here in favour of U.S.-based film enterprises over professionals from the Commonwealth, even moreso over other English-speaking film professionals further afield. (I am quite sure, for instance, that there is more written about minor American directors and producers than about some preeminent Kenyan or ASEAN ones.) Given the possibility of improving the sourcing for the stub—for that is all the article claims to be—and the fact that we naturally know less and so lean away from Scots and other non-American English-speaking professionals in our writing, I will oppose this deletion. Note, I am not an inclusionist, and would see more of the plagiarised, unsourced material—in some cases, whole articles—removed from the encyclopedia. But what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and unless we want to go on a committed, very long redactive editorial spree removing the articles far worse than this, Hayley McLaughlin should simply be tagged for improvement, and reevaluated later (should this Scottish actor's work not continue to develop as recent sources seem to indicate it might). Meanwhile, I will tag the article "BLP refimprove", and add a "Further reading" section, with any published articles on the subject that I can quickly find. Cheers. 2601:246:C700:9B0:7911:7D3:DBD5:9B47 (talk) 07:57, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please look at the article now. {{BLP reimprove}} was downgradedand to {{more footnotes}} after more than a half dozen reliable sources in support of several programmes were found and added to the text and to a Further reading section. All bare URL citations have been filled, and the process of extracting the listed potential sources was begun. The IMDB and other unreliable sources originally placed are all but gone from the article now (and even before, spoke more of editor practices rather than subject notability). If anything, the more than 20 appearances of the actor presented at the UK biography site, PersonBio.org and at her IMDB page are underresearched/underrepresented, so her apparent notability is clearly understated relative to the available evidence. Moreover, the Netflix appearance in the premier episode of its Love, Death and Robots drew international press overage of the programme and this actor, who played that episode's lead/protgonist. Finally, there is a current (January 2020) recurring role in an American hit series, and very ample reliable material available to source that (and all other material appearing in this UK actor's stub). Hence, in due course, one should consider withdrawing or closing the AfD. 2601:246:C700:9B0:4400:20AC:B374:431B (talk) 17:45, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
unless we want to go on a committed, very long redactive editorial spree removing the articles far worse than this,... I actually have no problem with that. Wikipedia is not a platform for aspiring non-notable actors to advertise themselves. I see way too much corporate advertising on Wikipedia, including that from Hollywood. It needs to stop. If you want to help remove the unnecessary promotion, please do. And by the way, I am an inclusionist, but not for advertising.
If you think WP:NACTOR is too restrictive, which it may be, then I suggest you go to go that page and request a change in notability requirements for actors. I might even support that, if you have a cogent and reasonable proposed change. Certainly the requirements for actors are ridiculously high when compared with the extremely and unreasonably low bar for WP:NOLYMPICS, which causes a ridiculously high percentage of all Wikipedia articles to be about people whose only notability is being in the Olympics once. I consider it free advertising for the Olympics, a huge business. --David Tornheim (talk) 06:01, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The reply is disingenuous to the point of being insulting, and misrepresents the thrust of my earlier arguments. First, there is no evidence that this is a case of an actor... advertis[ing] themselves; all evidence is that this article is maintained by independent editors with no connection to the title subject. (That is certainly the case for this academic editor.) Second, it is insulting to call the recent improving work I have done on the article "advertising". WP:AGF—I removed puffery, weasel words, etc., and removed IMDB and poorer sources, replacing them with sources that comply with WP:VERIFY; as I said, I am an academic editor, and not one that writes copy for adverts, in any way or fashion. Third, no statement was made that WP:NACTOR was too restrictive, only that its application involved discretion, and that it did not necessarily apply, in as clearcut of a manner as was argued, here to the article in question, when reference to it was first made. Bottom line, this actor is doing high quality work, on highly regarded series, with highly regarded professionals (e.g., Robert Zemeckis)—see first response below, to scope_creep. People need to start working through the 20+ listed credits that are posted for this actor at the UK bio site, and see what can be supported with verifiable sources. Only then should a firm decision be made about notability. 2601:246:C700:9B0:8DB1:30F:3466:53DA (talk) 01:42, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
First, there is no evidence that this is a case of an actor... advertis[ing] themselves; all evidence is that this article is maintained by independent editors with no connection to the title subject.
Are you sure about that? I got no reply to asking an IP editor--who seems to be particularly concerned about preserving this page--whether they have a WP:COI or not: This unanswered COI question. It seems to me based on this diff, that the editor is overly eager to have a page kept before reliable sources have reported on the actor, something the editor seems very confident will happen. Why is that? That sounds like the kind of talk you get from a WP:COI editor, like the editor is trying to promote the actor and/or works the actor is in. This IP editor is new and has worked on few articles, and shows up aggressively pushing for this one article to be saved as one of his/her biggest priorities. That's pretty typical of a WP:COI editor. But please, let's hope that IP editor answers the question and explains their COI-like editing behavior. --David Tornheim (talk) 07:31, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete All the coverage is indicative of an actor at the beginning of her career. The librarians is a guest role. Some minor, Linlithgow Gazette is a micro newspaper and Daily Record are all local new. Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:NACTOR. scope_creepTalk 09:43, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, an actor at the beginning of their career can still be notable, and the WP guidelines you state are not clearly unsupportive of an article. First, the WP:NACTOR argument presented is based on the least of this actor's accomplishments (the The Librarians episode), not the best available (the Love, Death and Robots premier with coverage from news sources in at least four countries, and the recurring role in the Zemeckis' drama, Project Blue Book, the 2020 coverage of which is just beginning). This pick-the-earliest-and-least argument would be like evaluating Harrison Ford based on his 1970 role in Getting Straight—which no one has seen—and ignoring his next role, American Graffiti. Second, using WP:SIGCOV to take a swing at Daily Record (Scotland) is a straw man argument as well—picking the least of more than a dozen valid citations to attack. Granted, the Daily Record is not the greatest source, but it is to Glasgow what the New York Daily News is to NYC (and it is more important to that nation than the News is to the U.S.). But, more critically—why are Deadline, Variety, and io9.Gizmodo all ignored—are they not valid as entertainment sources? I'm sorry, I spent an hour, and was able to find these, and dispel the IMDB-only argument (see this diff). Until someone takes the time to review the 20 entries at the UK site that presents the full filmography, then do the work to see if there is significant press on more of the works in which this UK actor has appeared, I cannot buy these fly-by rejections based on no significant effort to investigate or improve. WP:SIGCOV was misused here, and WP:NACTOR clearly involves discretion. Actors from the UK deserve a chance at WP. 2601:246:C700:9B0:10F8:DB65:ED5E:C55A (talk) 04:45, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ref 1 is the Linlithgow gazette which is local coverage. It is a micro newspaper celebrating it's local celebratory.
  • Ref 2 is a good secondary source, if it was a leading part but it is guest role in the librarians.
  • Ref 3 is non-rs. It is IMDB
  • Ref 4 No mention of the subject
  • Ref 5 Mentioned in passing as cast member
  • Ref 6 Mentioned in passing as cast member. Has a small paragraph about the character, not the person playing it
  • Ref 7 Mentioned in passing as cast member
  • Ref 8 No mention of Hayley McLaughlin
  • Ref 9 Quote with no context
  • Ref 10 Seems to be lead is low budget film Deadly Switch
  • Ref 11 non-rs. IMDB again
  • Ref 12 Second cast list in first episode. Single episode.
  • Ref 13 Assuming a single episode as other voice actors are getting
  • Ref 14 Confirms ref 13
  • Ref 15 Confirms ref 13 although cast list is out of order.
  • Ref 16 Profile page. Non-rs
  • Ref 17 Confirms ref 13
  • Ref 18 Ref 18 confirms 13
  • Ref 19 No mention of Hayley McLaughlin
  • Ref 20 No mention of Hayley McLaughlin
  • Ref 21 to 28 is non-rs and doesn't count towards notability. There are all IMDB.
Out of the 21 references, 10 are Non-RS, meaning they don't count, leaving 12. Of those 12, 5 don't mention the subject, which leaves 7. Of those 7, 4 detail a single episode of the excellent Robot series where she is a voice actor and not the star. The Robot series is mentioned in several continents due to the very high quality animators that are being used to create the series, not her. The remaining three references, two of them are local to Scotland, one of them has Scottish coverage and not much else. Linlithgow gazette is too local to count. It hyper-local. The last ref is for film Deadly Switch, where she is a lead, but a low-budget film that is indicative of the type of film that brand new actors make. The librarian role is a guest star. All indicative of an attempt to WP:PUFF the article out. scope_creepTalk 18:16, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment/Reply. Your closing comment is borderline insulting. AGF. There has been no WP:PUFF from me. The Librarian piece is noteworthy as her first major gig (that I found), and it resulted in her receiving very positive mention, as a guest star (over the regular cast members), by two reviewers. That is notable. And the rest of your analysis is misdirected, and your time cataloging the sources significantly misspent. With regard to misspent: unfortunately, you waited with your analysis until the nice, short list of sources I provided in my opening hour of work became adulterated with with added IMDB sources. I do not think they should stay, and I will remove them, so your list will very quickly become obsolete. Had you done your analysis earlier, you would not have been able to draw as consistent of a negative conclusion as you did. With regard to misdirection, as repeatedly stated: (1) The original AfD report addressed the fact that there were no reliable sources, with the article relying only on IMDB. (2) I then put in the hour, drawing reliable sources using the News search link appearing in the AfD header, to make the point that the subject was indeed subject of several WP:VERIFY-compliant news reports, and so that the original AfD objection was misguided—there were available sources, the original posting editor simply had not looked hard enough. And disingenuous, significantly, because (3) there has never been an argument from me here, none whatsoever, that the task of sourcing is done, or that this set of sources are sufficient or best, simply that non-IMDB sources were available for this actor, and that they were WP:VERIFY-compliant and satisfactory for a stub-length article.
In response to the improvements I made to the original IMDB-only article, editors are now moving the goal posts, attacking the first-pass, clearly preliminary sources for a stub—sources that are clearly good enough for a stub. So I reiterate what I said in response to David Tornheim above. A firm decision about notability should not be made until the many listed entries in this actor's filmography—appearing at the UK bio site, and/or at IMDB—are researched. That is to say, our time is better spent improving the article and its sources, rather than arguing about matters not in dispute. After we know if the actor is notable, only then should people firmly decide. And we will know after the work is done on the credits this actor has posted. 2601:246:C700:9B0:8DB1:30F:3466:53DA (talk) 01:42, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I don't believe we should discount Scottish newspapers because they are local to Scotland, local reliable sources references are acceptable for all topics except companies and organisations.

Comment/Reply. As I stated in response to scope_creep's vote, I agree with you, that disparaging a Scottish newspaper just because it a Scottish publication, e.g., from Glasgow, the most populous city in that country, displays a bias that is inconsistent with the letter and spirit of WP:VERIFY, and of this being an encyclopedia for all English speaking countries. 2601:246:C700:9B0:8DB1:30F:3466:53DA (talk) 01:42, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Atlantic306 said above "local reliable sources references are acceptable for all topics except companies and organisations. The question is whether a source is reliable not how widely its distributed (see the discussion at WP:Notability". Are you sure about that? I assume you are talking about this discussion. I didn't read all of it carefully. From skimming it, I am not at all convinced that because this is being discussed at length that the result of that discussion is a definitive determination along the lines you have stated. For example, I believe from reading and participating in WP:AFDs regarding notability in sports, that a person in a high school or other junior league who is doing really well, or who made some important play, and has been covered by multiple local papers is hardly notable. I'm pretty sure I have seen those kind of articles rejected more than once.
I think part of the issue of local papers is how one satisfies the requirement of "significant coverage", as in WP:GNG. If a small community of 1,000 has a magazine of that size--one that can be demonstrated to be secondary, reliable, and verifiable--and that magazine does a long story on a local band by a local "expert" musician who saw them in town and loved their work, does that really count the same toward "significant coverage" as when BillBoard magazine has coverage with the same number of words by an expert with a similar level of expertise? I find it hard to believe that the two articles are equal in establishing "significant coverage". In that sense, I do think the size of the distribution can be a factor in notability, rather than simply reliability. Was that covered in the discussion you mentioned. If not, I might throw that in. --David Tornheim (talk) 08:18, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Atlantic306: I'm not discounting the papers in Scotland as sources. The Record Daily is a national Scotland daily. The Linlithgow Gazette isn't. It is so small I hadn't heard about it. It is worth noting that the subject has not been mentioned in the two scottish broadsheets, The Glasgow Herald and The Scotsman.

  • Comment - Praxidicae - You say you "Can't find coverage in any language" but a quick GNews search for "Гуляйгород" shows large amounts of coverage in the Ukrainian media (e.g., here). Do you mean that you reviewed this Ukrainian language coverage but, having reviewed it, you could not find any instances of significant coverage? To be honest, I do not feel confident to review UA-language coverage in articles that may include those that cannot be machine-translated. This is particularly the case when "GulayGorod" means potentially something like "Go for a walk about town" and as such there may be a large number of mentions of it. From what I can see in machine translation I am leaning very slightly towards delete - there's articles covering them but none in detail that aren't interviews - but honestly I would like to see some input from a Ukrainian-speaker first (assuming you are not one, of course, and apologies if I am incorrect in assuming that).

I have also found considerable coverage in Polish, i. e. on the official website of Warsaw (the capital of Poland): http://www.kulturalna.warszawa.pl/instytucje,1,4054,HulyaiHorod.html?locale=pl_PL. The band performed on various prestigious festivals in Poland, like this one: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%8F%D0%B9%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BA_(%D0%A7%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C)

  • Additionally, the two awards now in the article are a "Winston Churchill Trust Scholarship" and a PHD program writing award. The first, the "Winston Churchill Shcholarship" was actually a travel grant. The trust gives out fellowships as well; their site does not list her as a fellow. These are not a big deal. The second was a school awards. Every school gives out hundreds or thousands of these a year. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:37, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - The non-primary sources are just not sufficient for passing the WP:GNG. The ones present are either from non-reliable sites (such as fansites), or are extremely passing mentions that have no discussion about them outside of basically saying "dinosaurs are a type of monster in D&D". For example, the book being used as a source, "Religions in play: games, rituals, and virtual worlds", sounds impressive, but actually looking into it shows that D&D dinosaurs are mentioned exactly one time, and in no other context aside from being included in a list of a bunch of other monsters. The number of sources stuck onto a page doesn't mean that much if none of them actually provide any kind of in-depth coverage or analysis that would allow an article to be written that could pass the WP:GNG. And quite frankly, none of the ones present, or can be found upon searches, do. Rorshacma (talk) 16:39, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment about Religions in play: True enough, dinosaurs appear there only one time. As the quote shows the author does not, however, considers them any type of the myriad monsters in the game, but one of the basic ones. He uses them together with only two other groups, demons and fey, as comparison to demonstrate the importance of mythology-based monsters in the game. So in view of all sources together I stand by my opinion and curiously await extraneous judgement. Daranios (talk) 19:55, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Being used as an example is a far cry from the GNG-required in-depth analysis. Sorry, but Rorshacma is right on spot, those sources are not very helpful, I am afraid. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:55, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep Bahamut and Tiamat, the two most important Dragon deities in D&D, articles survived AfD. The category as a whole is important; thus a list article about well-known and lesser-notable individual subjects satisfies wp:cln and wp:listn. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 16:18, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - As with the rest of the species-specific deity lists, there are no reliable sources talking about the grouping as a whole that goes beyond basic plot or passing mentions - basically only Tiamat and Bahamut are potentially notable among the group, and are the only ones that really get any kind of coverage that could argued to be from reliable, secondary sources, and they already have their own articles. So, the grouping fails WP:LISTN, and as only two of these entries are blue-linked, it does not really serve much of a purpose as a navigational tool. The only deities here that would warrant being merged into the main Dragon (Dungeons & Dragons) would be Tiamat & Bahamut, but since they already have separate articles, that isn't really necessary at this point.

@Rpimpsner: The whole point of Afd is to check the references in the article to determine if they support its existence per policy and see if there is more available sources, so it can be supported it for a keep. There is nothing here that is worth a keep. The subject is insufficiently notable. You have clearly not read any of the notability criteria nor WP:AFD nor any essay's associated with it. I suggest you do. scope_creepTalk 22:18, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Scope creep:I am confused on how there is not enough for a keep when a quick glance at several other Wikipeida pages that are not nominated for deletion have less sources and are of people of equal or lesser notoriety. I would easily be able to provide samples of them if need be. However, just by looking at several of the sources I have already provided including a Wall Street Journal profile that goes in depth on much of what is in the written content. I have also Googled and was able to find more profiles including one from the Financial Advisor that I included as reference as well aa well as some other references that I will include in when I have the chance. I also want to refer back to the CNBC contributions including many apperances on their shows as an expert that are very easily accesable via a search on CNBC's website.

  • Delete per WP:TOOSOON and WP:HAMMER. Until his book comes out, we are counting dancing angels on the head of a pin.

  • Delete significant coverage in reliable, independent, sources is simply lacking. And, while I agree with Bearian about the futility of some of this discussion, I'd just emphasise that there is a subtle but significant difference between a reliable source providing a profile of a regular contributor, and a reliable source doing a profile on someone entirely independent.

This is a redundant character list. There are twenty four other character lists on the franchise. These characters are covered in their respective series. There are only two characters on the list that retain articles, so it is pointless for navigation.
