The result was delete. The band clearly fails WP:GNG, and the article not (yet) suitable for main article space. In lieu of deleting the history, though, I am fine with it going back to draft space for more incubation. —C.Fred (talk) 21:00, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't meet WP:PROF guidelines:
1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.
In terms of citation counts, his most cited paper has 124 citations according to Google Scholar, his h-index is 33, these are good but not exceptional statistics. I can't see any sign that he has had an exceptional impact in the field of total synthesis. He doesn't pass the "Average Professor Test" on these grounds.

2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
The awards on his CV do not seem to fit this definition of highly prestigious - most were obtained as an undergraduate, graduate or postdoc, or are internal to OSU (e.g. Sugihara young faculty award)

3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the IEEE).
There is no evidence for this.

4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.
Again, no sign of this.

5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.
Although he was the Chair of the Chemistry Department at OSU from 2012 to 2017, this is an administrative role and not an endowed Chair.

6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.
No, unless Chair of the Chemistry Department counts - I think the bar is higher than that though.

7. The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.
He has founded a company, but so have lots of other people. I found a few local news items about Valliscor on Google News, but nothing particularly noteworthy.

8. The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area.
No.

9. The person is in a field of literature (e.g., writer or poet) or the fine arts (e.g., musician, composer, artist), and meets the standards for notability in that art, such as WP:CREATIVE or WP:MUSIC.
No.

In summary, while he seems like a good scientist, there is no evidence that he meets the WP:PROF notability criteria. Polyharrisson (talk) 17:37, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Passes WP:GNG. For example, see Portland Business Journal. Andrew D. (talk) 18:39, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Four papers with over 100 cites is borderline but above threshold to me. I thought this was going to be one of those rare cases where the only verifiable thing we could say about him was the existence of a few highly-cited publications, so that he would pass WP:PROF but fail WP:V, and I was prepared to head for a weak delete on that basis, but Andrew D.'s link has proved me wrong. It's too local to add much to notability, however. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:14, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment Do these help? They're about impact of projects he's been involved in, and he is named as primary collaborator in one and "a national leader in this field and co-inventor of the new catalyst" in the other:
the first article is a different Rich Carter (mathematician based in Bristol, UK), the second is a press release from his employer (Oregon State University). Polyharrisson (talk) 07:09, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The research description read like a copyvio, so I tried checking it out. Some of it appears lifted from his lab website, but weirdly, the sentence His work includes investigations on selective catalysis, including the design, discovery, and study of systems that mediate fundamentally interesting and useful organic reactions seems to be taken from a writeup about somebody else.

I am unconvinced that either WP:BIO, WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR are met. On the BIO front, none of the sources currently used are independent, reliable and contain in depth coverage of the subject. This in National Post is the best source I could find but it's probably not enough. I don't see anything on the PROF front which would get him over the notability threshold either - this 2016 paper has 52 citations according to google scholar but judging by this search his h-index is < 10. Finally, on the author front, I can't find any substantial writing on his books. SmartSE (talk) 22:44, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. Simply a WP:YAMB who never made it – they were in existence for less than three years, and released just three singles, the first of which was on a non-notable record label, and the other two were self-released. Yes, they got played on a national radio station (albeit after midnight, when the show in question is broadcast), but this radio show only seeks out and plays unknown new acts, so by definition every band played on the show will be not notable at that stage in their career. Richard3120 (talk) 02:07, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll add that WP:BAND criteria regarding radio play specifies a band's work/song needs to be in rotation as opposed to random play(s) on a specific show. No evidence is provided that this band's work was in rotation. ShelbyMarion (talk) 11:05, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, absolutely - the nature of the show in question is that bands only get played once on it, as their "big break", and then the presenter moves on to the hundreds of other acts waiting for their song to be played. It's very unlikely that they or any other act on the programme got more than a single spin. Richard3120 (talk) 21:38, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced, and probably not notable. Alex.osheter (talk) 21:16, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep it is sourced with 27 refs and although a lot of them are self sourced there are some independent ones such as New Zealand Herald, Times of Israel and Reuters. I remember this event received a lot of coverage in the UK including the BBC, Channel 4 and broadsheets such as The Guardian and The Telegraph that had secondary coverage, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 21:26, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
37 refs of which 34 are primary sources, 1 is a blog, and the remaining 2 describe a single event on October 26 2018. This event is better suited for Blockade of the Gaza Strip. Alex.osheter (talk) 21:37, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The New Zealand Herald and The Times of Israel are reliable sources, and their coverage is enough to establish notability. Eastmain (talkcontribs) 23:07, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Smerge The article has a couple of reliable sources, but they aren't about the flotilla itself, they're about an even that may or may not be notable. I personally don't think the event fits WP:EVENT. It did not have any lasting effects that I can find, the geographical scope is very small, it was only covered for a couple of days, and was not covered in much depth. There's an argument to be made about the notability of the event, but as far as the flotilla itself having its own Wikipedia page, it's not notable enough.

The idea is that the section in Location hypotheses of Atlantis is too long, it needs to mention the two waves that this fringe theory has undergone and the different "reasons" underpinning them. It doesn't really need an extensive discussion about the more detailed aspects of how the theory underwent fame as a viral event (Viral video, tabloids, and mainstream press) which logically could find a home here in a more detailed article.

The Article is neutral and completely based on the reliable sources now which are fair enough as per Wikipedia Policy. There is no promotional word in Article and also a Criticism Section added now so If you still find it as promotional Article, You can improve the Article instead of deleting it because we all are here for Contribution.

Notability of an article's subject is usually determined by verifiable evidence of notability. How can one determine which sources to consider when determining the notability of a subject? We search for the subject on a search engine and then we get links to them. Some is by local level media and some by other independent sources. Then what should we do? I personally know people who are notable at local level but lack so called verifiable evidence and don't have Wikipedia articles on that subject. And, also I have encountered various articles on Wikipedia itself where a single reference determines their notability. Please clarify on the above point. Regarding the article, it is upto you and the other users/editors to determine if it meets criteria or not. I am NO ONE to suggest to keep it or delete. Thanks Sentiments777 (talk) 20:44, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete after spending a few minutes, it is evident that the subject fails WP:AUTHOR, and WP:GNG as well. —usernamekiran(talk)
    @Sentiments777: the answers to your queries can be found at WP:reliable sources. There are also certain cases where the subject is de-facto notable, like a census town (doesnt matter what the population is, if it exists, and can be verified then it should have an article). Certain elected persons are de-facto notable as well. In Indian terminology, all MPs, and MLA's are notable. Only one reliable source stating that they are/were elected is more than sufficient for having an article. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask me on my talkpage.

    Jdcooper, the article seems to be lacking references. I think it might just about scrapes WP:GNG as it currently stands.

  • Keep Notable geographic feature per WP:GEOFEAT WP:GEOLAND, also appears to pass WP:GNG from Czech sources. SportingFlyer T·C 12:30, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:GEOFEAT only applies to artificial structures. The Czech sources (which are in Czech) are barely reliable. --qedk (t c) 10:54, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    What makes them any less reliable than, say, one of the top British national newspapers and BBC Radio? And what has being in Czech got to do with anything? Phil Bridger (talk) 10:59, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Turistika is a tourist directory sort of website (fails SIGCOV), and both of the more reliable sources are updates on repairing the springs, and not any sort of significant coverage on the natural springs itself (fails SIGCOV) accompanied with photogalleries. And the quite obvious problem with sources in Czech is that it's infinitely more difficult to ascertain source content and reliability. --qedk (t c) 11:12, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I can hear the noise of goalposts being moved. I was writing about your comment that the sources (and I mean the ones from iDNES and Český rozhlas that were in the article before it was nominated) are barely reliable, but then you went on to answer about significant coverage rather than reliablity. Get such concepts clear in your own mind before writing. As regards significant coverage, then how are articles about the restoration of the springs not significant coverage of the springs? And it is blindingly obvious to anyone with a half-way open mind that the sources not being in English has no bearing whatsoever on their contribution towards notability. The English Wikipedia is not just a mirror of what is available in English for free at the click of a mouse. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:52, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Why? Opinions can't change? Upon further consideration I elected to think that the sources were atleast more reliable that I said they were and I changed my opinion, if you want me (and every person) to mark in big, red letters everytime thay have changed their mind in order to make you aware that the the goalposts have moved, tell me and I'll let everyone know they have to, too. And fwiw, I do not possess magical lingual abilities that can parse any language with a 100% accuracy, maybe you do but there's a reason editors knowing English edit the English Wikipedia while editors knowing Czech edit the Czech. --qedk (t c) 13:29, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Of course if your opinion that these sources are "barely reliable" has changed you should say so. How else can the closer of this discussion know that? And I'm afraid I find it just too tiresome to explain to people why sources not in English, just the same as sources that need access to an academic library to read or need other, non-linguistic, specialised knowledge to understand properly, are just as valid as those that you can find for free online in English. If you don't understand that simple point then you just don't get the idea of an encyclopedia that should give people more information than a Google search. You made a simple mistake in your first assessment of this article, and rather than change your opinion you are using confirmation bias to make more and more outlandish claims as to why this should be deleted in accordance with your knee-jerk reaction. Just stop digging. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:04, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, I am not worried about the law of holes. You keep arguing ad hominem instead of talking about the point I am making. In fact, if you even understood confirmation bias you would not used it in this particular methaphor, I changed my argument instead of arguing they were reliable over and over with a set outcome in mind, that's the literal opposite of confirmation bias. It still stands that GEOFEAT does not apply but you will ignore that to argue ad hominem about why I'm saying, instead of arguing on the facts I am trying to present, even as I gave you an assessment of the sources and why they fail SIGCOV, your point is more about how I argued and the fact that I said Czech sources are more difficult to understand (for obvious reasons) than English ones, which literally any other editor can attest in reality to, unless they are Czech, which maybe you are, but I am not. G'day, I'm out. --qedk (t c) 20:11, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Updated to WP:GEOLAND. Mis-typed the nomination. Furthermore the WP:GNG argument I made discusses articles not currently cited such as [5]ecky-ministerstvo.A190204_455330_hradec-zpravy_tuu] and [https://nachodsky.denik.cz/zpravy_region/oblibena-prdlavka-vytryskne-z-uplne-noveho-prameniku-20130830.html (I did a Czech-region search).

  • Keep Meets WP:GNG. I do not understand the nomination - there were two perfectly good independent, reliable sources with significant coverage in the article at the time it was brought to AfD. The article has now been expanded and other sources added, which is a bonus, but there does not appear to have been a genuine rationale for bringing it to AfD. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:04, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    RebeccaGreen, I checked via Google and Google news and can't find any more sources. These two sources seem to only report 1 event. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:38, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Before you wrote that I had cited some more sources in the article, including a book published many years before the recent restoration of these springs. And your nomination said "no third party sources" even when there were two third-party sources staring you in the face. You can't be surprised when people express incredulity at such a nomination. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:46, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Phil Bridger, well this was the version at nomination https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hronovka_and_Regnerka&direction=next&oldid=833797269
    Both articles cover the same event. And I can't find any other sources talking about the the subject. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 13:04, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, for crying out loud, why can't anyone supporting deletion in this discussion stick to the point. The matter is simple. The version that you nominated and just linked had two third-party sources. You said it had none. That means that you either didn't look at the article before nomination or that you were lying. And how can you still not find any more sources when there are (and were before you made that statement) more cited in the article and in this discussion? Phil Bridger (talk) 13:29, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Phil Bridger, as q said above, I think there needs to be more third party sources than what's in the article. I can't find any using Google or Google News beyond the 3 articles which all cover a single event. There edited to clarify my statement. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 14:49, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    The book source that I cited was published in 1998, so obviously is not about an event that happened in 2013. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:33, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Rewrite. Has significant former clients, but not in itself WP:Notable. Possible conflict of interest also makes it lean more towards deletion. PoliceSheep99 (talk) 17:15, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: fails WP:NCORP. It's true that the Gossip gave the label some commercial success in 2006 with "Standing in the Way of Control" and a few other singles, but that seems to have been the label's moment in the sun, and the only other chart hit I can find is one song by Seelenluft which reached number 70 in the UK – most of the other acts are notable, but they had their chart successes with other labels, not with Back Yard. There doesn't seem to be any in-depth coverage about the label itself, and I strongly suspect that it ceased trading in 2012, as I can't find any releases or social media posts/tweets from the label after this date. Richard3120 (talk) 22:13, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - although the label lists a number of notable artists, I believe the label fails NMUSIC#5 because:
  • The Similou doesn't mention the label at all in the article, and is of dubious notability itself
  • Dega Breaks is of highly dubious notability, in fact it seems the biggest claim to notability is that is signed to Back Yard
  • Although Chromeo lists Back Yard as one of their labels, the label does not appear in their discography.
  • Ali Love is unsourced, but since it charted it is likely a notable band. So this kinda-sorta-maybe might help towards NMUSIC#5
  • Wiley (musician) does not even mention the label
  • Tyson is non-notable, it just links to the disambiguation page
  • Gossip (band) is notable, but only appears on Back Yard as a remix.

78.26: this is exactly the issue... Wiley, Chromeo and Ali Love are all notable artists, but none of them were signed to Back Yard when they attained their notability and chart success. The only band who was is Gossip. Richard3120 (talk) 21:45, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Is it genrally accepted here in the music discussions that if a label signs a notable artist, the label is notable? Because that goes against WP:NOTINHERITED. WP:NMUSIC #5 is also referenced above in terms of contribution to the label's notability, but it is a actually a notability guideline for the song, not the label.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:53, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

promotional article for organization without demonstrable notability . inadequately referenced organization. Most of the references are about the problems they try to solve. Some are press releases extensively quoting the organization. Some are mentions . Not one is a third party source substantially about the organization. Specifically: 1. is by the organization 2. is an inclusion on a listing. 3,4,5,6, 7, 8, 9, 10 are about snakebite.

Thank you for helping to improve the article. With regards to the references I have rewritten the article so the numbering of the references might not correspond anymore to the above numbering system. The following are third party newspapers that ask for HAI's opinions on the subject and should show that they are an expert on the problem that the organization is working on. They are all third party references.

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

Refs added later: [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]

[17]

2. This is a posting by the WHO that HAI is a certified WHO actor so that should show that they are notable.[11] 3. Should I remove all references that point to the org's own web page? I don't see that as necessarily bad and requiring deletion of the page but if they have to go they can.[12] 4. I deleted a reference about snakebite that does not specifically ref HAI. 5. The Lancet article is RS and specifically references HAI's study so that is both notable and third party and not primary research. [14] 6. BMJ is a RS and references HAI specifically. [13] 7. I don't see this as a press release as Nessa Childers, Member of the European Parliament is talking about the issue and mentions a press release by HAI. [15] I don't see any particular press releases in the references. And none of the authors seem to work for HAI. Did I miss one?

This might be special pleading but this about a non-profit working to bring good scientifically approved medicines to Africa and prevent deaths. What is wrong about that?--Akrasia25 (talk) 18:00, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • Being a "certified actor" doesn't imply notability its a list of everyone they work with that isn't a government DGG ( talk ) 18:13, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nomination. Subject fails WP:ORGCRITE. A gallant effort by our inclusionist colleague Yngvadottir but one article in a newspaper about the subject's chief administrator does not for Wikinotability make. As to the arguments about its "number of students" and the "population served," they're equally weak.

  • Delete The claim that the nomination engages in "ableism" misunderstands what is going on. We have carved out an unjustified exemption to the general notability guidelines for secondary schools. This is based on the assumption that due to a variety of factors if one searches hard enough they will find sourcing. This is more questionable than is claimed, but does not apply at all to schools that are not broad community institutions.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:45, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Randykitty: You could start publishing a journal, insert citations in some articles, and without an article on the journal, readers would have no way of assessing the quality of that journal. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:57, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And without any reliable sources or indexing in any selective database, all you would have to write an article about this hypothetical journal would be the information that the publisher puts online (unless you'd engage in some serious OR, of course). You seem to be arguing that any academic journal should be regarded as notable, a notion that has been rejected in AfD upon AfD. --Randykitty (talk) 09:56, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I have spent a long time looking into this river and see no existence of it being real. I a valley with this name but the two closest rivers were named Raul Aries and Mures who share a Romanian Wikipedia article [12] and don't seem to mention this place. Following up the chain of articles starting with the article proper leads me to the Crișul Repede which looks to be in a whole different part of the country than the valley. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:19, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    It is a very small river indeed. I have found it on one map: https://bihor-county.map2web.eu/. It is about 4 km south of the village Șuncuiuș and 2-3 km northeast of Zece Hotare, around 46°54′40″N 22°31′01″E / 46.911°N 22.517°E / 46.911; 22.517. From what I see there it may be 3 km long.

  • Keep ... every river on earth is notable. 77.13.19.9 (talk) 02:05, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Not necessarily. From WP:GEOLAND, Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands, etc. The number of known sources should be considered to ensure there is enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography. For example, a river island with no information available except name and location should probably be described in an article on the river. (Emphasis mine.) As such, we should describe this in the article of the Misir since it doesn't have enough information for its own article. – John M Wolfson (talk | contribs) 02:11, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@E.M.Gregory: Hamilton and his brother and the authors of The Self-Sufficient-ish Bible, which "has received reviews from publications including Library Journal, Resource Magazine, and Publishers Weekly". All of the reviews are cited in the article on the book. MarkZusab (talk) 21:47, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Per feature coverage mentioned above and book reviews. Thanks, User:MarkZusab. Book is now bluelinked on page; page remains something of a Wild Ruin in desperate need of renovation.

  • Comment, i am a bit uncomfortable that an author is deemed notable for being known for one notable book, there are exceptions of course (covered under point 3. of WP:NAUTHOR - "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, ...") like Harper Lee (until recently:)) and To Kill a Mockingbird, but whenever an author article like this comes to afd, i am reminded of people who are known for one event, now if there were reviews of Hamilton's other works/indepth sources that discussed him that would different (sorry, the sources presently in the article don't cut it, although the BP one looks interesting), i will stay on the fence on this one, btw, i wouldn't mind a background section in the book article covering the two authors, well thats enough of coola's ramblings.....Coolabahapple (talk) 02:28, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • In response to User:Coolabahapple's concerns, I ran a couple of quick searches and added some sources. While there are some book reviews, he gets coverage more often as a feature story: clambering though little-known ancient ruins, foraging wild plants for food, being a minor guru of the sulf-sufficiency (grow your own food) movement.)E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:04, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A non-notable startup with little to no coverage in reliable independent sources. Nothing unique about it and does not compare to the industry leaders like Splunk(which basically does the same thing at a scale 100x). Daiyusha (talk) 01:28, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi let's not be too hasty with deleting this article, please. I have some information for you that I hope will change your mind.

1. ---> "A non-notable startup with little to no coverage in reliable independent sources" Graylog is consistently mentioned alongside Splunk and is reliably in the top 5-10 when discussing the top log management companies. A quick Google search will tell you that.

Look through some of these links, these sources below which are considered to be very reliable and independent.

2. ---> "Nothing unique about it" There are many unique aspects. I can add in an extra paragraph about why Graylog is unique if you think that will help improve the quality of the article. I don't this it is reasonable to request outright deletion over this, perhaps do you have a suggestion or constructive criticism on this?

3. ---> "does not compare to the industry leaders like Splunk(which basically does the same thing at a scale 100x)" - Sir, people are having this conversation all the time. DevOps teams, sysadmins & others are comparing Graylog to Splunk legitimately. For many businesses, they can't pay the high cost to have Splunk so they look to other more affordable options (open source or enterprise). Again, there are pros and cons to both, but there is nothing wrong with including a comparison if that conversation is already being had.

Here are links to notable reliable 3rd party sources where these comparisons are happening all the time:

Splunk is clearly the leader in the log management space, nobody disputes this. Just because Splunk happens to be the leader in the space doesn't mean Graylog should be banned from Wikipedia or make Graylog any less legitimate. You seem to be very concerned about mentioning Splunk in the article. Is there anything wrong with that?

I am asking for you to reconsider this deletion request and instead tell me where you think this article needs to be adjusted. This is a legitimate company that is well known in the log management space and deserves to be on Wikipedia.

Thank you I look forward to working with you and the other editors to make this article better. De-Stavness (talk) 05:43, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: People will have a discussion for about a week, and If people find sources that are supportive, your article stays.

Thank you for your feedback. I've put together another list of sources that I believe to be reliable and independent. I've included a mix of sources from education and governmental websites, to news sources, and to articles mentioning the company or product in a significant way. Graylog has international users/clients so some of the sources come from all around the globe.

Again there are more mentions and sources I am just trying to find what you consider legitimate. Please look these through and let me know what you think. Thank you.

  • Keep or Merge with Online shaming - Simply being a neologism is not sufficient reason to delete, it must be shown that it is only a neologism and not a notable topic worthy of a stand-alone Wiki article. Is this a notable phenomenon? Well, there certainly seem to be plenty of articles discussing it. For example this article defines it thus:
"The system of pseudo-peer-reviewing on Tumblr is called a “call-out culture,” where users will police the posts that they feel do not align with Tumblr’s need for inclusivity. “Call-out” culture can be positive in its system of checks and balances because it derails the spread of misinformation, but this policing is generally assumed to be negative due to the aggression from which “calling-out” stems. While “call-out” culture is a double-edged sword, it is ultimately a practice of consciousness-raising partly because of the publicity that stems from the arguments, but mostly because the internet is made into a forum for debate and education."
Undergraduate student essay. Not a reliable source. Bacondrum (talk) 22:18, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are other sources that give similar definitions and are enough to sustain notability (e.g., 1 2 3). My main concern is that Online shaming covers similar ground (although not the actual culture so maybe there's room for two articles). FOARP (talk) 13:01, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hoo, boy. I thought that this page was paltry, but Online shaming is even worse (no attempt to define or to source the term/concept; subheads without sources; long list of subheaded but non -bluelinked "examples") . It is also not a search term I had though of, although I had searched for an article on this topic just yesterday, and failed to find one. On the other hand, our article on Doxing is surprisingly good, proving that we could turn this into a good page. User:FOARP, do we discuss what to do with Online shaming there, here, or somewhere else?E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:07, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if it is decided that merge is a better option than keep, then we can talk about what to merge this article to or whether other articles should be merged into this one. If Online shaming needs deleting then it should be AFD'd. Otherwise page quality issues are for the talk page. I think you're right that the problems with Online shaming seem worse than those for Call-out culture. There's also the related concept of Cyberbullying but again that seems a related, but not identical, phenomenon. FOARP (talk) 18:37, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't oppose keeping the page if it was significanty improved, when I first came across it the page was horrendous and virtually unintelligible, the current version is certainly "paltry", to put it mildly. As it stands the page should be deleted. Bacondrum (talk) 22:43, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree online shaming is a shocker of a page, but at least it contains some reliable, secondary sources and the secondary sources appear to be authored by people with relevant expertise. Bacondrum (talk) 22:48, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As was explained to Bacondrum in the article's talk page, despite there being no one clear definition of what it is, there are plenty of reliable sources talking about it, and each defines it more or less similarly. Alex.osheter (talk) 20:55, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Could you possibly direct us to a single reliable source used in the article? (keeping in mind that an op-ed is not a reliable source for a neologism)Bacondrum (talk) 22:02, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The state of referencing in the article is not key to deciding whether the article should be deleted or not. There are multiple reliable sources discussing the concept of "Callout culture". For example, here, Dr. Ealasaid Munro, a lecturer in Communications, Media, and Culture at the University of Stirling, defines "Callout culture" as one "in which sexism or misogyny can be called out and challenged ... facilitat[ing] the creation of a global community of feminists who use the Internet both for discussion and activism" (quoted here). Similarly here, Prof. Michael Berube, a Professor of Literature at Penn State University, states that "In so- cial media, what is known as “callout culture” and “ally theater” (in which people demonstrate their bona fides as allies of a vulnerable population) often produces a swell of online outrage that demands that a post or a tweet be taken down or deleted". There are other such references easily findable through a GScholar search and otherwise, and other references are already provided above. It does not matter that these references are not yet included in the article. FOARP (talk) 07:37, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is not mine or any other editors job to find citations to back other editors assertions. If you find reliable sources and you can improve the article then by all means, do it. As it stood and as it currently stands the article is not encyclopedic, cites sources that are poor, inappropriate and\or do not support statements. I personally had never heard of "callout culture” till I came across the Call-out culture link in a see also section. I'd never heard of “ally theater" at all until now. Bacondrum (talk) 07:47, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is the nominator's job to confirm whether a page should be deleted before nominating it. No, it does not matter that the references are not yet included in the article. No, it does not matter that you've never heard of it. FOARP (talk) 08:10, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not an established terminology. Not an encyclopedic subject. Cited sources are poor or do not support statements. I found no sources, I can't possibly know of them all. Improve the article. if you know better, do better. Bacondrum (talk) 08:18, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There's some serious "Didn't hear that" going on here. How much more of an WP:RS do you get than scholarly articles by established academics in reputable journals? Again, the present state of the article doesn't matter for AFD - it's the possible state that matters. FOARP (talk) 08:23, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not a dictionary I heard you, I searched for sources in good faith, it is you who is not listing: I found no sources (and I spent a good amount of my precious time doing so), I couldn't find a single article or paper that even mentioned the term. I can't possibly know of all papers or articles in existence. If you found a quality source, improve the article and it may no longer warrant deletion. Improve the article. If you know better, do better. Or perhaps you are here pushing the term? I dunno? All I know is that I came to read an article and it was very hard to make sense of, pretty much a POV, right-wing biased rant about how terrible feminists are and was structured like a dogs breakfast, I tried to improve it, but found all citations were op-eds, it's a neologism and doesn't belong here as far as I can see, happy to be proved wrong. Bacondrum (talk) 09:18, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - the article is not perfect but has a lot of good references from reliable sources. The AFD nomination is misguided. Deleting it wipes out an enormous amount of excellent work on an important topic; most of the work that has been done on this article is completely in keeping with the various Wikipedia standards for encyclopedic content and reliable sources. DeRossitt (talk) 02:26, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – This nomination seems to be in bad faith. There were a great many more sources (86) before Bacondrum began to slice up the article. Yes, it was in bad shape as it was in the process of merging in cancel culture, but there was extensive sourcing from a large number of reliable sources (including many prominent authors and publications) that were summarily removed by Bacondrum prior to listing the article here. I understand the intent behind the edits and in some ways the article had definitely grown too large and lost focus, but to suggest the term(s) have little or no usage in reliable sources is bunk. I also agree that there are a number of closely related terms all about the same or extremely similar terms/phrases like Milkshake Duck, online shaming, public shaming, cyberbullying, mobbing, mob justice, online boycott, outrage culture, and/or outrage porn (though I'm sure there are others out there as well) and, in theory, a single article encompassing all of these terms could suffice. (Indeed that was the point of merging cancel culture and call-out culture.) Until such a time as that centralized article about the general phenomenon is created, keeping this article is a fair outcome and deletion serves no purpose. At the very least it should be redirected to one of the similar terms/phrases listed above. - PaulT+/C 03:50, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I made the nomination in good faith, and you should assume as much. Poor form. Care to point out a reliable source in the version as it was? It's a neologism and wikipedia is not a dictionary, the article also lacked even a single reliable citation. Bacondrum (talk) 01:17, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are several, but the first one I saw (that has since been removed) is: Danuta Walters, Suzanna (5 May 2017). "Academe's Poisonous Call-Out Culture". The Chronicle of Higher Education. Retrieved 21 October 2017. Another (that is still present) is: Friedersdorf, Conor (2017-05-08). "The Destructiveness of Call-Out Culture on Campus". The Atlantic. Retrieved 2019-05-14. I stand by my point: to suggest the term(s) have "little or no usage in reliable sources" is bunk. As is your assertion that the article also lacked even a single reliable citation. Articles by Suzanna Danuta Walters in The Chronicle of Higher Education and Conor Friedersdorf in The Atlantic both easily qualify as reliable secondary sources for a neologism (not to mention the subsequent sources that others have identified above), and that was just in the opening paragraph of the first merged version of the article that I linked to above. - PaulT+/C 04:14, 18 May 2019 (UTC) Also, removing 95% of an article and then saying it lacks sources in an AfD is pretty egregious. - PaulT+/C 04:19, 18 May 2019 (UTC) Also also, doing stuff like this is a bad idea. Do not change your statements after people have already responded to them per WP:REDACTED. - PaulT+/C 05:14, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not reliable sources for a neologism. They are op-eds, primary sources. Bacondrum (talk) 04:26, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also also, "a single article encompassing all of these terms could suffice. (Indeed that was the point of merging cancel culture and call-out culture.) Until such a time as that centralized article about the general phenomenon"... you had it right the first time, it is a term, not a phenomena, a phenomena is an event or an occurrence...this is a big part of the problem with this article, the subject is not being clearly defined and calling it a phenomena is misleading. Calling a term a phenomenon is clearly pushing the term and biased in it's presentation of said term. Entirely cited using op-eds, it is therefor 100% POV.Bacondrum (talk) 09:41, 19 May 2019 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bacondrum (talkcontribs) 04:39, 19 May 2019 (UTC)Stop editing comments after others have replied per WP:REDACTED. Changing the time is not apropriate. If you don't know how to fix something, ask how to fix it. Don't make it worse. - PaulT+/C 15:33, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly (1), you are 100% mistaken about The Atlantic: Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 240#Is Conor Friedersdorf and the Atlantic a Reliable Source?. (And, in fairness, I was mistaken about the The Chronicle of Higher Education article being a secondary source, as it is from The Chronicle Review, but that doesn't change the fact that it is a RS: Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 117#The Chronicle of Higher Education. It just happens to be a primary source in this case.) Regardless, as established by many other editors here, there are reliable (primary and secondary) sources for the article. Furthermore, just because a source is a primary source does not mean it needs to be summarily removed from the article.
Secondly (2), call-out culture, cancel culture and outrage culture are all terms (each one being an individual "term") that describe the same/a very similar type of behavior or phenomenon. There are a series of similar terms/articles (inclusive of the three above) that each describe similar behaviors/phenomena: e.g. outrage porn/outrage media/outrage journalism, Milkshake Duck, public shaming, online shaming, online boycott, cyberbullying, mobbing, mob justice, moral panic, and likely others. I don't know how you managed to lose sight of that in what I wrote. I thought it was fairly clear.
Regarding some kind of merger (3), WP:NEO states: In a few cases, there will be notable topics which are well-documented in reliable sources, but for which no accepted short-hand term exists. It can be tempting to employ a neologism in such a case. Instead, it is preferable to use a title that is a descriptive phrase in plain English if possible, even if this makes for a somewhat long or awkward title. In this case there are a great many "short-hand term[s]" all describing very similar things. I would support some kind of merged page with "a descriptive phrase in plain English" that encompasses the described phenomena (across more than just the "culture" terms) generally, but I don't think this is the proper venue for hashing that kind of thing out.
Finally (4), I'd like to kindly ask you to stop your disruptive editing at the article in question. You are right at the WP:3RR threshold. (123 each restoring this addition of the {{neologism}} template.)
P.S. Why was this AfD listed as the 2nd nomination. I can't find the 1st one. Does it exist? - PaulT+/C 08:21, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Conor Friedersdorf and the Atlantic a Reliable Source?" not as a primary source (op-ed) about a neologism. Not at all. Thanks for acknowledging the other source is not good enough, now we are making some progress, I hope you understand the rest of the citations used are also primary sources.
"Regardless, as established by many other editors here, there are reliable (primary and secondary) sources for the article" kindly point one out then. There are none as far as I can see, all op-eds, 100% of them.
"I thought it was fairly clear" not at all. You lot keep saying there are secondary sources, but there are none. If other editors have found some I'd ask them to improve the article.
"I would support some kind of merged page" I'd possibly support the term being mentioned on a page about social media terms more broadly...I might not oppose this page as a stand alone if it can be demonstrated that the subject is encyclopedic, the page is edited into a well written, clear and reliably cited article, or it is demonstrated that it's more than just a passing fad or a term a handful of university activists or op-ed writers have used - remembering that Wikipedia is not a dictionary.
I've switched out the neologism template for the primary source template, it should not be removed until the issues have been addressed, namely the complete lack of secondary source, secondly the need to establish that this is an encyclopedic subject. I have no axe to grind here, the page is just nothing like an encyclopedic entry, primary sources are not reliable for this subject even if it can be demonstrated that it is encyclopedic. It absolutely needs to be improved or removed. I'm interested as to why editors who claim to have secondary sources have not improved the article, looks like pushing a particular view or the term itself to me. Bacondrum (talk) 09:20, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Why was this AfD listed as the 2nd nomination." I can't find it either, my mistake. I must have gotten mixed up with another article I was looking at or something. Bacondrum (talk) 09:26, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Mistakes happen to everyone (including myself as I noted above), but perhaps you should recognize that you have been making a lot of mistakes with this article and begin to self-reflect. My responses to your previous comments are below:
Para1: There is nothing wrong with using reliable primary sources in support of specific points in the article as long as they are properly attributed. You keep on removing these points simply because they are primary sources without any regard for their reliability. Please stop.
Para2: Here are several (and I'm sure there are more):
They have been pointed out to you multiple times but you just seem to ignore them. The fact that they exist and discuss the term is enough to satisfy WP:NEO, and therefore the article should be kept.
Para3: Stop twisting my words. The sources I listed above are already in the article and you keep asserting there are none. Furthermore, this does not mean that reliable primary sources are completely worthless on their own.
Para4: Well, lucky for everyone, we don't need to satisfy you in particular, especially since you are being disruptive.
Para5: This could be interpreted as a self-revert, except that it shows that you are continuing to edit disruptively. In fact, it was noted at this edit warring report that you have done this at this article in the past. Please stop and gain consenses for your edits if they are disputed going forward. - PaulT+/C 15:23, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It is not a neologism when it is a mixture of very simple words. This meets WP:GNG, I found [16], the book Kill All Normies has a "culture war" perspective on this, and the British book Feminism: A Fourth Wave? discusses this. wumbolo ^^^ 13:15, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep this has nothing to do with WP:NOTNEWS. Also the amount of killed people is not a reason for deletion and nothing in the article seems to suggest that there was a killing. The deletion should most likely to be about notability and it is based on whether there are extensive reports about the subject on reliable sources or not. The event seems notable and have got attention from newspapers and so passes WP:GNG (this is based on a quick check on google). The reason for the speedy keep is because the reason that was given by the nominator doesn't seem to be a good reason for the deletion so I think this article should be kept unless there is a good reason presented for the deletion.--SharabSalam (talk) 22:10, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep - WP:GNG easily met and demonstrated to be met. A lack of deaths is ≠ to a lack of notability, even though a presence of deaths adds to the case for notability. Aircraft is a hull loss. Mjroots (talk) 18:04, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Mjroots: Is it a hull loss? I'm not seeing that anywhere. If so, it should be added to the article and would probably sway me to keep, but I'm on the fence at the moment. RecycledPixels (talk) 06:39, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Aviation Safety Network currently states "substantial damage". Given that the aircraft has been immersed in seawater and is 18 years old, it's almost certainly a constructive total loss. Mjroots (talk) 06:46, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Substantial damage to hull, multiple injuries, and a rather unusual aircraft incident. This recent incident was an international news item , and there is some continuing coverage through 13 May (e.g. [17]). As we are unable, at this point point, to assess whether said coverage will be SUSTAINED, we should keep the article per WP:RAPID. Icewhiz (talk) 12:58, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Regularly scheduled passenger airline flight crashes, resulting in injuries and a hull loss. (Injuries are described as minor). Meets WP:N with international news coverage including multiple non-trivial coverages on BBC [18] [19], Reuters [20] [21] NBC News [22] [23] CNN [24] [25]
  • Keep. As a result it is a hull loss which the aircraft overrun and fell to the river which is a bit different from other incidents. Triila73 (talk) 23:21, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The article expands on a noteworthy aspect (see section 2.1) of the existing Wikipedia article about Coenzyme Q10, that aspect being the effect of Coenzyme Q10 on heart function. That section contains four lines and is far from comprehensive. As such, it leaves the reader with an incomplete picture of the extent of human knowledge on the subject. If this article about Coenzyme Q10 and heart function in senior citizens is accepted, then it will be possible to link from Wikipedia’s Coenzyme Q10 article to this more comprehensive article. There is too much information here to put it all into section 2.1 of the Wikipedia Coenzyme Q10 article. The presentation of the article is neutral. It is the reporting of facts without bias. The contents of the article are verifiable. All statements of fact are documented. From a bio-medical point of view, it is noteworthy. It is also noteworthy from the point of view of many senior citizens and many people with increased risk of heart disease. Morrillr (talk) 11:32, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of capitals in Thailand

There is no such thing as the concept of a province "capital" in Thailand. Originally, this listed the towns/cities the provinces were named after (and which served as the seat of the provincial offices), but as the offices of some provinces have moved location, this has morphed into an WP:OR listing of municipalities in which the offices are located, labelling them as "capitals" where no reliable source does. It's absurd to say Ban Tom is the capital of Phayao Province and Bang Rin of Ranong.

  • Keep for now, at least procedurally. For instance, searching "Phetchaburi" "capital" brings up a number of sources which cite it as a provincial capital. For instance, [26] lists several regional cities as capitals. The infobox for each province lists a capital as well. If we take the nom at face value, there's going to be a fair bit of cleanup required, but considering there's evidence of provincial "capital"s existing in English, I think this list is valid until otherwise shown. SportingFlyer T·C 06:02, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I expect all of them to be informal uses by sources which can't be considered reliable for supporting such claims, per WP:RSCONTEXT. In general settings, it wouldn't be unnatural to refer to the namesake town of each province as its capital, even if technically inaccurate. But can you find any source (that didn't copy the info from Wikipedia) that says Ayothaya, Ban Tom, Bang Rin, Chaeramae, Chai Sathan, Khelang Nakhon, Mai Khet, Non Nam Thaeng, Nong Pling, Sadiang, Sanam Chai, Sukhothai Thani, and Thanon Khat are the capitals of their respective provinces? --Paul_012 (talk) 06:11, 14 May 2019 (UTC) PS Yes, I expect a major clean-up operation for all provinces will be needed. These concerns were raised in previous discussions at Talk:Provinces of Thailand#Province capitals and Talk:List of capitals in Thailand#Untitled --Paul_012 (talk) 06:14, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • It honestly looks incorrect/vandalised as opposed to non-notable. None of those cities/towns actually appear to be capitals of the province, if they exist at all. SportingFlyer T·C 06:34, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • They are the municipalities where the provincial halls are physically located, so no, not vandalised, but "updated". The problem is that there is no official designation of what constitutes a "capital", so following the most basic definition—the town or city where the province's seat of government is located—will inevitably constitute original research as seen here. --Paul_012 (talk) 06:41, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
          • Honestly, I have no idea why this would be original research. The concept of a "provincial capital" is clearly noted in English-language sources over time, such as [27]. CNN, a reliable source, says the provincial capitals and provinces share names [28]. It's pretty clear this isn't actually a list of capitals, but I'd be shocked if there wasn't a list somewhere noting where all the provincial halls were, if not in the namesake city, which would also constitute renaming the article. SportingFlyer T·C 05:41, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Provinces of Thailand which already contains the capitals for each province. The rest of the content is unsourced and probably original research. Ajf773 (talk) 07:43, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep with rewrite: Article can be kept by fixing the BLP violations through rewriting.--PATH SLOPU 07:49, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep with rewrite: I also agree with this. I think the movement itself was notable enough to happen in India when it did, and had notable enough social effects, to warrant keeping its own article. It happened nearly a year after the original Me Too movement in the west, independently and spontaneously, and so wasn't immediately tied to what happened in the west; also, it was seen as a groundbreaking social-shift in one of the largest and most conservative, hierarchical societies in the world. It was notable enough to warrant prominent worldly publications (CNN, BBC, etc) to publish articles specifically on it, and they treated it as its own movement. On a public level, it eventually introduced behavioral reforms in many industries (entertainment, journalism, education, etc) and prominent social figures were suddenly in a fearful position of having their indiscretions outed, which seemingly returned power to the 'victims' or 'average people' in a way the society had never seen before. A climate of 'healthy fear and restraint' was introduced to the workplace; It was one of the first real examples of the use of a social tool (the internet) to empower the disenfranchised and bring about a serious change (or at least notable social reflection) in mindset throughout that society. And its effects were far reaching; many industries, class levels, etc were affected and continue to be so.
So I think it's important to keep it as it is a valid and notable social movement, but edit any BLP concerns (within reason - as even in the original Me Too article, personal examples and names were used factually to illustrate points) as needed and make it read more professionally.

WP:POLOUTCOMES says "Mayors of cities of at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville". Mayors of smaller towns, however, are generally deemed not notable just for being mayors". Wellm is the 4th biggest city in Kansas a city of "at least regional prominence"? Debatable, but the current two-line stub and no indication of anything but local coverage/job blurb suggest there is nothing to warrant a separate article. My current suggestion is to ensure that the city he is a mayor in has a referenced list of mayors, and that's it - if all they'd get in their bio is 'he is a mayor... and he lives in his city', sorry, that's not enough.

The subject is clearly not a BLP1E, as he is a public figure who ran to replace Yasser Arafat as Palestinian Authority president (see - 2005 Palestinian presidential election) - and he got 2.76% of the vote (Hamas did not run officially - an outside US figure made this run possible). In depth Al-Jazeera profile from 2003. The electoral run was covered in Washington Post as well as elsewhere. The subsequent criminal case, which ended in a conviction and jail time, clearly meets WP:NCRIME with rather significant and sustained national and international level coverage: [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41]. Coverage in this book. The criminal case itself definitely passes NCRIME (so even if this were a BLP1E - this would be a rename at best), however given that the subject here has been profiled and covered also in contexts other than the criminal case a standalone bio here makes sense.

  • WP:HEYMANN KEEP. I have done a modest expand, source, using only a few of the available sources, which include a long profile in the Washington Post. And Note that subject was in the national news form 2004 - 2007, and that he was convicted and imprisoned.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:44, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You mean you duplicated entire paragraphs multiple times? Ok ... nableezy - 16:41, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, you only proved that it impossible to write a NPOV article about a living person based on the coverage available about him. The case is regarded as demonstrating the difficulty of convicting individuals who assist militants... and Although Ashqar was recorded discussing violent attacks... are each repeated three times. He was convicted for refusing to testify for crying out loud. Everything else he did was technically legal. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 19:35, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have copyedited the page which had several instances where the sources were misattributed to some other organization. I will assume good faith chalk that up to several mistakes. However, the article still relies almost entirely on this source. We have no idea if this article was retracted but it does not appear anywhere on The Washington Post website. This article still fails WP:BLP1E. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 20:50, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As for your assertion that you corrected "the L.A. Times masked as the Chicago Tribune). What you did was miss the fact that this was a Chicago Tribune story that the Los Angeles Times also printed. And erase it. The Chicago Tribune should appear in the cite as the "Agency". My apologies if I misformatted it. I do at least try to credit the correct newspaper.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:14, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The WaPo article is easily accessed via proquest, where I read it. It is a detailed biographical profile of Ashqar: (Palestinian Puzzle; A Business Professor in Springfield Goes on Trial Today On U.S. Charges of Supporting Hamas. He Strongly Denies It.: [FINAL Edition],Mary Beth Sheridan - Washington Post Staff Writer. The Washington Post; Washington, D.C. [Washington, D.C]19 Oct 2006: B.1. ). Mary Beth Sheridan is still at WaPo, and she's on twitter, if you truly think I made this up go ahead and ask her if she wrote this 2006 profile.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:05, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is extensive coverage of his presidential bid (in Arabic as well) - we are at 2E at least, not 1E. If we were at 1E, the correct move would be to rename for the notable criminal case, but we aren't there.Icewhiz (talk) 21:10, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please cite them. That is exactly what is needed to prove notability, which I don't see at this time. People run for office all the time and that does not mean their candidacy is notable. Otherwise, this should be deleted. The person's notability is right now entirely inherited from the court case involving three people not just Ashqar. This page as been in violation of BLP for years.--- Coffeeandcrumbs 21:28, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Washington Post: Va. Man Certified as Candidate to Replace Arafat.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:02, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Still inherited notability from concurrent criminal proceedings. If you read the article, it has little to do with the candidacy. His candidacy is a coatrack for The Washington Post to repurpose their previous coverage. Also note that Howard University is in Washington, D.C. Of course, the local paper latched on to this. See for example these sources which shows that his notability was inherited from the fact that he was accused of a crime when he ran for office. Separating his candidacy into a stub section shows desperation to keep this page no matter what. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 22:33, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ashqar placed 8th, with 2.68% of the vote. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 22:34, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nah. It shows that the candidacy was covered in newspapers in Israel, Australia, Britain and the United States. The British, Israeli, and Aussie papers that I cited/read do not even mention the arrest.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:40, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Covered" or mentioned in passing? Without seeing the sources I cannot judge that he was not just listed among the 8 or more candidates. Can you quote from the sources you cited please? Assuming good faith, I am sure the subject was mentioned. But I have serious doubts that his candidacy was "covered" without also covering his concurrent criminal case. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 22:48, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also link to ProQuest so people with access can assess the sources not available elsewhere. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 22:55, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We enter BLP 3E with his prison hunger strikes. The first was in 1998, when he refused to testify against Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook in a New York Court.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:10, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In your desperation to keep the page, you have introduce so much unsourced material. I have also lost any ability to assume good faith in you since you don't link to the sources AND you add things not in sources when I locate them. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 23:23, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I do this kind of sourcing for several articles a month that come to AfD poorly sourced, but that appear to me to be notable topics. Sometimes I do several a week. I do not feel "desperate" about this one. More like intrigued. What is unusual is to meet an editor so determined to challenge solid sourcing. Please remove the failed verification tags from the Reuters article about the 1998 prison fast that ran in the Washington Post and that is plainly visible in a Proquest Newspaper search. E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:31, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just because you have previously used original research to filibuster deletions does not mean it was a good thing. I have pointed out many instances now of where you, I assume through lack skill, have introduced content that is not in the sources you cite. I give up, you have succeeded by WP:REFBOMB. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 23:36, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Place 4th is the presidential elections. We have multiple in-depthmsources for this subject spanning 2 decades.Icewhiz (talk) 03:48, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
e.g. - This Springer book - pages 279-280 - covering one of his hunger strikes.Icewhiz (talk) 07:31, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'll also note that we are at least at 3E - the case from 1998 - in which his hunger strike is widely covered, the case from 2003+ (with a second long hunger strike), and the presidential campaign. Icewhiz (talk) 07:35, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:HEYMANN thanks to E.M.Gregory and Icewhiz. The subject certainly meets WP:GNG, with significant, sustained coverage in independent reliable sources, including the New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, the BBC and a solid two paras in the book The grand jury: A tool to repress and jail activists. And that's only in English, apart from one source in Arabic - I expect that there would be a lot more. I hope that those who agreed with the WP:BLP1E nomination rationale, based on the state of the article at the time of nomination, will reconsider now it has been shown that coverage of the subject is about far more than a single event.
