The result was redirect to Meteor Crater. Consensus is that it is a real place, but that it is not currently clear if it was ever inhabited. Should more sources surface in the future, the article can be restarted. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 08:06, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this one is a mess, and searching is rendered almost impossible by a game named "Arizona Sunshine" which shows up in results no matter what I do to exclude it. Anyway, the GNIS entry is almost certainly a mistake of some sort: in spite of it supposedly being scraped from a topo map, I see no sign of it at the coordinates given, which locate to a hillside with nothing near it at all. Interestingly, GMaps goes to a different point, which happens to be at the end of a passing siding on the ATSF main line, just north of the I-40 exit to go to Meteor Crater. There is of course no civilization around other than an RV camp on the opposite side of the interstate, which is named after the crater, not the siding.

• Delete The point GMaps gives is consistent with the 1968 topo map, not sure about the discrepancy the coordinates on GNIS. Absent from the 1982 map. I found results that there was oil drilling taking place there [1] and it was an RR station for a potential power plant [2] but nothing that it was a community.

• Redirect to Meteor Crater. Sunshine station was the location of Meteor post office, detailed here. The establishment of the post office in 1906 at Sunshine serving the crater involved a petition to Theodore Roosevelt, so is of some note. Prior to 1902 the station was called "Sunset" as stated in Arizona Place Names but I haven't had much luck finding anything under that name. Redirecting Sunshine, Arizona to Meteor Crater also makes sense because some local geological features have ended up with the name, such as Sunshine Nose.----Pontificalibus 08:31, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Per Nom and others. "...62,000 which is relatively low" and "there isn't that much notability" are very conservative comments. According to the Social Blade (that I recently ran across): Social Blade Rank= 262,590th, Subscriber Rank= 250,213th, and Video Views Rank= 390,197th. This seems like an advertising push to get "youtube coverage on Wikipedia" and "Wikipedia is not a blog, web hosting service, social networking service, or memorial site".

• Delete - I am merely piling it on here, but in addition to what everyone else has said, it is suspicious when a musician who claims to have dozens of releases gets almost no media coverage outside of his own social media self-promotions. All I found was this: [3], from a site that appears to host freelance music/movie reviewers. Mr. Cobb is a hobbyist who makes and releases his own music, and there is apparently a lot of it, but quantity does not translate into notability. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:39, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• If you're arguing for merger there's no need to go through AfD. You can do that unilaterally. Right now this AfD could be closed as speedy keep #1 because no one has argued for deletion or hard redirect. buidhe 23:49, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per nom; Bell CA is a small town which cannot hand all of its mayors an automatic inclusion freebie just because they exist, and three of the six footnotes here are primary sources that are not support for notability, while the three that are real media are all covering him in the context of a single incident that just makes him a WP:BLP1E rather than a topic of enduring encyclopedic interest in his own right. That said, Buidhe is correct that you don't need AFD's permission to redirect it to the event article — you can just do it unilaterally, as long as your edit summary explains your actions. AFD can certainly be asked to weigh in later on if somebody opposes you on it afterward, but doesn't have to weigh in before you're allowed to act the first time.

Same rationale as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Autobots that was just deleted. Anyone worried about the redirects to the article can either move them now or request they be retained should this end in delete.

This list no longer has any utility. The series previously had somewhere between 600-1000 character articles. It now has 20. There are also around 20 character lists, so this is not a necessary navigational list. Decepticon can hold a small list of blue links if that's actually necessary. This is just a barebones list of names, and even that is useless because most of these characters have two to three different versions due to most of these series being completely different continuities only sharing some core character concepts. Due to that, this cannot function as a proper navigational hub without being even more of a mess than its current incarnation. TTN (talk) 21:36, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Pretty much my same argument here as on the recently closed AFD on the corresponding Autobots list. Every major iteration of the franchise already has coverage of their major characters, whether on the many other Lists of Transformers characters or in their own articles. A list that just jams in every Decepticon, regardless of notability, from multiple series, timelines, and continuities into one place is not a useful way to organize information that is either already found in better form elsewhere or not notable enough to cover. Decepticons are notable, but this list is just WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Rorshacma (talk) 00:03, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• keep [4] appears to be very strong as does [5]. They feel a bit too positive, but I think both are reliable sources and certainly cover the man in detail. There are a few other, mostly similar, sources. Hobit (talk) 22:05, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1 is not a WP:GNG-satisfying source. There is no secondary source content from the author, Steven Brown, Sentinel Classical Music Critic. The whole article is subject quoting and reformatted information straight from the subject. That is not independent, as required by the GNG. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:01, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you're saying, but I'll disagree with that. It's in part an interview, but also the author spoke to others (McKeans for example) and has some actual research of his own. I'm comfortable with it as independent and reliable. And I've never agreed with the notion that interviews by reliable sources don't count for the GNG. I know a number of people support that, but WP:GNG doesn't have such a requirement as I read it. Hobit (talk) 05:59, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point to a sentence or two that is secondary source content created by the author? —SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:11, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how you are defining secondary source in this context (I think you and I have discussed the various definitions by different academic disciplines in the past), but I'd say the 3rd through 6th paragraph, as well as the 8th ("At age 90..."), 10th, "Tiedtke sits on United Arts' board of trustees with representatives of some of Central Florida's biggest corporations. Yet he notices that these businesses, much larger than his own, give no more to United Arts than he does." "*Tiedtke has been connected to Central Florida in one way or another for almost his entire life. Though he was born in Toledo, Ohio - where his father and uncle were the prosperous owners of a large supermarket and department store - he and his family began spending parts of the winters in Orlando in the early 1920s. The Tiedtkes lived near Colonial Drive and Magnolia Avenue. A family named McKean was among their neighbors - and two of the McKean boys, Hugh and Keith, became young Tiedtke's friends for life. Hugh, who died in 1995, went on to become Rollins' president and a co-founder of the Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park. Keith, a retired college professor who lives in Winter Park, said the Tiedtke he met 75 years ago was much like the one he knows today."

I'd call all that reporting rather than just interview questions and answers. Not sure if that's what you are looking for. There is a fair bit more than that. Could you give an example of coverage of a person in a newspaper article that is more like what you feel is required to count as a source? Hobit (talk) 18:07, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I too call all that reporting, repeating of facts without comment or bias, like photocopying. Photocopying does not turn primary sources information into secondary source information, what is needed is author-source commentary, contextualisation, or any transformation of the primary source material. At an absolute minimum, I am looking for an author-sourced adjective applied to the subject, which I did not find. The standard minimum is more like two strung sentences of commentary. Some say 100 words. This source has no commentary, if you exclude the non-independent quotes. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:21, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As we have in the past, we'll have to agree to disagree. Good news reporting (rather than editorializing), like good academic papers, shouldn't have commentary. They report the facts. We want facts, not opinions, in our articles. Requiring a source to have opinions before we can use it to count toward our inclusion guidelines doesn't seem like a standard that's found in WP:N nor one that, IMO, makes sense. We'd have a hard time writing articles on science things with that requirement. Hobit (talk) 14:24, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Facts are good, but independent secondary sources are what’s required to justify covering the topic. It is a straight reading of WP:N, and it is the policy WP:PSTS that requires some secondary sources no matter how many reports and facts there are. Reports merely repeating facts are not secondary sources. I’d like to keep this topic, but we need evidence (2 sources) that anyone has cared to publish any comment on him. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:57, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2 March 25, 2016, by Michael McLeod, may be OK. SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:08, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with Orlando Magazine and Orlando Sentinel, the former of which still does not have an article, is that they are local media (in particular, this seems to be a problem with the OM). Now, WP:AUD is a guideline for organizations, and I believe there is no consensus to apply it to biographies, but there is also no consensus to ignore it - and IMHO it is something to to consider. A person whose coverage is limited to local (city) media, not even regional, IMHO falls on wrong side of borderline notability. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:24, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is ok to be lenient with local coverage for non commercial topics, and tough for commercial topics. Local businesses use their connections to influence favourable coverage. Sports should be considered commercial, if connected to ticket sales. Tiedtke does not at all connected to current commercial interests, and so I don’t think there is reason to suspect non-independence of local coverage. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:47, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SmokeyJoe: Right, but keep in mind the charity-donations-write about our benefactor angle. Now, charity and such can totally make someone notable, but it would be good to see coverage from independent sources that are less likely to be variations of obituaries penned as thanks for the donations during his lifetime. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:14, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Per my argument above, and an earlier prod (subject fails WP:NBIO as they only have local coverage). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:24, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I know you described your reasoning above, but you've linked to WP:NBIO and indicated that they fail this guideline due to their being only local coverage. As you note, local coverage isn't even mentioned in WP:NBIO. And secondly, local in this case is 2.1 Million people in the greater Orlando area.I just don't think it's reasonable to claim someone fails a guideline for a reason not listed in that guideline. I'm fine with an IAR argument (that the guideline *should* say this), and between your two comments I think that's what you are saying. In any case, there are other sources [6] itself is a source and lists a few others. [7]. But yes, those are also local to the area. Hobit (talk) 14:04, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good finds. Sufficient coverage in local sources can be an argument something is on the wrong side of borderline. It's not a simple math. I got interested in 'local' coverage few years back when there was a bio of an architect whose only source was an in-depth biography published in church newsletter. Anyway, since [8] does not seem to be peer reviewed, I am afraid I am still leaning towards delete. If it was, however, published in a peer reviewed outlet, or a non-local paper, I'd be happy to reconsider my vote. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:52, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tiedtke served as president of the event from 1950 until his death in 2004 at the age of 97. “The Bach Festival was started by a very dynamic woman, a Mrs. Sprague-Smith, and she did a great job of creating it and getting it going,” Tiedtke remembered in a 1995 interview. “In 1950, she died suddenly. I was on the board, and nobody else on the board wanted the responsibility of trying to run it and keep it going, so I finally agreed to do it. Then, for two or three years, Hugh McKean, the president of Rollins, and I kept trying to find somebody to run it, and we couldn’t. He finally suggested that I just take the title of president because I’d been running it anyway.” Brown, Steven (1998-02-22). "John Tiedtke: A Cultural Icon". Orlando Sentinel.

But John Tiedtke's example will be before us again as of Thursday, when the 63rd annual Bach Festival of Winter Park begins. Since 1950, Tiedtke has been the festival's leader - not only running it but helping foot the bill for it. He has pitched in with a variety of the area's other cultural groups too. He has served Rollins College in several capacities, including a 20-year stint as its treasurer. He has helped support the Enzian Cinema Cafe in Maitland - which his daughter, Tina, founded. He has given $100,000 a year to United Arts of Central Florida since it was founded in 1988. Tiedtke's real business is a group of sugar, citrus and corn farms near Lake Okeechobee. He has done everything else as a sideline. Moore, Roger (2004-12-23). "Benefactor's Legacy Lives in Music, Art". Orlando Sentinel. Archived from the original on 2020-02-28. Retrieved 2020-02-28.

Tiedtke was born Sept. 15, 1907, in Toledo, Ohio, into a wealthy family -- they owned a supermarket and department store in Toledo. He created even more wealth by investing in sugar, citrus and corn farms on land near Lake Okeechobee. Land companies, development companies, Shawnee Cattle and Atlas Sugar were among his holdings. But it was what he did with that wealth that has had so much impact. He spent millions bringing great music, film and art to his adopted home -- Central Florida. McLeod, Michael (2016-03-25). "Still Blooming". Orlando Magazine. Archived from the original on 2020-02-28. Retrieved 2020-02-28. The article ntoes: Enzian owes its existence to John Tiedtke, whose family owned a prosperous department store in Toledo, Ohio, and had a winter home in Orlando at the corner of Hillcrest Street and Magnolia Avenue. Tiedtke made Winter Park his permanent home as an adult, tending to the family’s investments in South Florida farmland and becoming a savior to nearly every arts organization in town, including the Bach Festival, Florida Symphony Orchestra, Orlando Museum of Art, Orlando Opera, and Festival of Orchestras—all that besides being a founder/funder of United Arts of Central Florida. Tiedtke’s love of the arts drew him close to people of similar tastes. His best friend from boyhood on was another hugely influential Central Florida arts philanthropist and cultural advocate, Rollins College president and Morse Museum co-founder Hugh McKean, who saved priceless Tiffany stained-glass windows from the wrecking ball. And Tiedtke’s wife was a woman who was raised alongside the Danube, in the City of Music, home to Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. Her name was Sylvia Southard. She was a princess and a survivor. ... Sylvia met John Tiedtke after the war, while visiting relatives in Winter Park. They married in 1948 and had two children, Philip and Tina, with whom they would summer in the family castle, where one of Sylvia’s favorite activities was taking the children hiking up through the mountain passes, enjoying the wild Alpine flowers they saw along the way. Among them was a rare, velvety blue, trumpet-shaped bloom called enzian. In 1985, when Tina Tiedtke took up the cause of creating an alternative art movie house for Orlando, the seed money for the enterprise came from her art-loving father, while its name owed its inspiration to the rarest of the flowers she’d seen on those mountain treks with her mother.

He went on to make — and continues to make — an even greater fortune in the Everglades in the sugar business. ... For as little as $10 an acre, sometimes for as little as unpaid back taxes, Tiedtke bought several hundred acres in the Everglads and began cultivating sugar. The business is called Shawnee Farms and now consists of vast tracts of land cultivated in sugar cane. ... When Tiedtke wasn't spending his time on his Everglads plantations, he was living in Winter Park, and there his association with Rollins College began. During the spring semesters, he taught photography classes. By the 1940s, he began teaching business courses. He still goes every day to a rented office on the Rollins campus where he spends time working on his farms' business, on his own investments and on the business of the arts in Central Florida.

The article notes: By the time Sinclair arrived, the society and its annual festival had for decades been the personal domain of Tiedtke, a shrewd businessman who had made his fortune growing sugar, citrus and corn in South Florida. McKean had asked his boyhood friend to take charge in 1950, when founding society President Isabelle Sprague-Smith died and the organization’s future seemed in doubt. The no-nonsense Tiedtke proved a fortuitous choice. He loved music — he played a little piano, but mostly enjoyed listening ---— and was a consistent and generous donor to community-based arts organizations. At Rollins, he had been treasurer and chairman of the board of trustees. ... Tiedtke died the following year at 97, and to the end was cajoling Central Florida businesspeople to do their civic duty and give more to the arts. In fact, Sinclair’s continued presence in Winter Park can be counted among the plain-spoken philanthropist’s many legacies. Just before Tiedtke’s death, Rollins established the John M. Tiedtke Endowed Chair of Music. For once, the man for whom the chair was named wasn’t asked to write a check. Others contributed generously, including an anonymous $250,000 donation that was later revealed to have come from one Fred McFeely Rogers, Class of ’51, a music composition major who became TV’s Mister Rogers and befriended the Sinclairs during his frequent Winter Park visits.

Then he began to grow lettuce, built a packing house to handle the crop. It was the lettuce that helped him get in the cattle business, according to his manager, Otto Larson. Disposal of the waste from the packing house posed something of a problem so Tiedtke bought a few cattle to feed. And three years ago he went into the cow business seriously.

• John Tiedtke has received significant coverage in reliable sources in the Orlando Sentinel in 1984, 1998, and 2004. He received significant coverage in Winter Park Magazine in 2015 and in Orlando Magazine in 2016.

  Florida Today said Tiedtke "was another important figure in the cultural development of Winter Park" who "was very successful in the state’s sugar industry".

  The Orlando Magazine noted that Tiedtke was "a savior to nearly every arts organization in town, including the Bach Festival, Florida Symphony Orchestra, Orlando Museum of Art, Orlando Opera, and Festival of Orchestras—all that besides being a founder/funder of United Arts of Central Florida".

  The Orlando Sentinel said, "The arts in Central Florida lost a giant on Tuesday. John M. Tiedtke, local businessman, philanthropist and tireless patron of the arts, died at 97. ... Tiedtke was born Sept. 15, 1907, in Toledo, Ohio, into a wealthy family -- they owned a supermarket and department store Tiedtke's in Toledo.

But it was what he did with that wealth that has had so much impact. He spent millions bringing great music, film and art to his adopted home -- Central Florida."

  Tiedtke was a professor at Rollins College which established the John M. Tiedtke Endowed Chair of Music. The chair was funded in part by an anonymous $250,000 donation from Fred Rogers who is TV's Mister Rogers.

  He married Princess Sylvia Southard, the daughter of Prince Alfred of Hohenlohe-Langenburg in Stainach, Austria (the son of Ernst II, Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg) this is wrong because the Prince Alfred who was the son of Ernst II, Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg was born in and died in 1911.

  He made his fortune from Eastgate Farms and Shawnee Farms, two sugar-cane plantations near Lake Okeechobee.

  In 1972, he was one of eight Floridians to receive a "C.H.I.E.F." award ("Champions of Higher Independent Education in Florida") from the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida.

  In 1973, Florida Governor Reubin Askew gave him one of the "Governor's Awards for the Arts". Tiedtke was the founding director of Channel 24 (now WUCF-TV).

• Wikipedia:Notability (people) does not require non-local coverage. Furthermore, the Orlando Sentinel is a major regional newspaper, not a small local newspaper. Even WP:AUD (Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience) (which applies to companies, not people) says that "Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability." WP:AUD says that even regional media is a "strong indication of notability".

  That Tiedtke was the subject of multiple articles in the regional newspaper Orlando Sentinel over a period of decades (1984, 1998, and 2004) strongly establishes he is notable.

The text claims this as a "former stop on the Grand Canyon Railway", which I don't believe is true. It is on that line (and you can see MoW equipment and a huge pile of ties in the GMap aerial at this time), but I really doubt that the GCRY ever stopped there in the middle of nowhere. It was a siding on the ATSF, and is referred to a couple of places: for example, this AEC report describes it as an unstaffed ATSF station. Otherwise I get the usual geoclickbait and pictures of GCRY trains, and that's it. I'm not seeing the notability here. Mangoe (talk) 19:45, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• The band are notable with coverage in CrossRythyms and Tollbooth which are reliable music sources but there is no need for a seperate discography page so it should be merged into the Dissident Prophet article and the three album pages redirected to that article as they show no independent notability imv, Atlantic306 (talk) 01:14, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge discography article to the band's article, and Redirect the album articles to the band as well. As stated nicely by Atlantic306 above, the band itself has a little notability but their releases do not. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:30, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect per above. I’m not particularly convinced of the band’s notability, but unless that gets sent to AFD, that’s a separate issue, and the merging/redirecting still works. (Not to mention that, if the band’s article were deleted, then it would mean this would all be be deleted all the same, which is the only reasonable alternative here. We simply don’t need separate discography articles for bands with no charting to to document.) Sergecross73 msg me 17:02, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, though the recommendation is to merge the discography article to the band's article, there is practically nothing to merge because none of their releases charted and all that's left are album and song titles. If that is the ultimate decision in this AfD, I will do the merge myself in about a minute. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:21, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

She got non-trivial coverage in a large number of independent third-party sources (currently cited on the page, I removed only one of them after checking).

Delete Textbook example of WP:NOTINHERITEDTheLongTone (talk) 16:16, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I'm puzzled by the references above to WP:NOTINHERITED. That (influential) essay proposes arguments to be avoided in deletion discussions. Most examples given are of "keep" arguments but no one has suggested "keep" here so these examples do not seem to apply. However it also deprecates two "delete" arguments, one of which is "Delete she's only the U.S. President's wife". So, it seems to me that WP:NOTINHERITED suggests that the nomination here is a poor one and does not focus appropriately. I do have some sympathy with the WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE argument, however. Thincat (talk) 12:33, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  I completely agree. Seeing WP:NOTINHERITED used as a sole reason (when it's not a guideline) for deletion seems misplaced here, because of the exact example it uses for a wife in that essay. Whisperjanes (talk) 02:47, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Peter Phillips is 15th in line of succession. Fact that they declined a royal title does not remove their royal lineage nor connection to royalty past or present. This is a question of how far removed from royalty should be considered notable under WP:GNG. I would argue if Peter Phillips is considered notable and included in WP, she should at least be merged into Peter Phillips PenulisHantu (talk) 14:26, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Probably merge. A cursory reference in Peter Phillips' article should be sufficient. RobinCarmody (talk) 22:19, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and create a (new) redirect to Peter Phillips. All of the content in this article that would be relevant to the article on Peter Phillips is already in the latter article. What remains is the personal family history of Autumn Phillips, who has always been a private figure who has never carried out public activities (unlike wives of US presidents). In fact, one could argue that there should never have been an article about her. She is a classic WP:BLP1E, that one event being married to a peripheral member of the British royal family whose own notability is borderline. Risker (talk) 01:10, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Her marriage to Peter Phillips does not make her notable automatically, but the coverage she has received does. Is anyone disputing that she has has received significant coverage in reliable sources? I don't see how WP:BLP1E applies here, the coverage relates to a number of different events: her wedding, the birth of her kids, the conversion from Catholicism and her divorce. She has made several public interviews, so she is not exactly avoiding public life. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 15:20, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

She also seems to have regularly participated in public events as a member of the royal family ([17], [18]), so WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE doesn't convince me. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 15:33, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Pax:Vobiscum. The Daily Mail is not considered an acceptable source for establishing notability or as references for BLPs. Risker (talk) 15:59, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am not saying they should, I was merely pointing out that she has been regularly been participating in public events. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 19:04, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are conflating two different things. (1) She has received coverage in reliable sources as shown by the references already in the article, unless of course you don't think the Daily Telegraph counts as reliable. (2) She has participated in public events as a member of the royal family as shown by the Daily Mail articles. Here are other articles showing her participating in public events: [19][20][21]. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 21:10, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comments: Examples of "other articles" can give the wrong signal. The BBC example titled Queen attends landmark Braemar Gathering with content, "The Queen was accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles and her eldest grandson Peter Phillips, and his wife Autumn." is the opposite of significant coverage and at the same time is the definition of passing mention. The example might be acceptable for content but does nothing to advance notability. Otr500 (talk) 23:42, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I explicitly said that those links were simply to prove that she participates in public events as a member of the royal family, making WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE irrelevant to this discussion.

Comment I have now added a few new sources to the article and replaced some questionable ones. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 09:25, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and/or Merge to Peter Phillips: Not notable for a stand alone article per Nom, that notability is not inherited, and other reasoning: See "Comments". Otr500 (talk)

Comments: User Pax:Vobiscum, that stated "...the coverage relates to a number of different events: "her wedding" (to Peter Phillips), "the birth of her kids" (from the marriage to Peter Phillips), "the conversion from Catholicism and her divorce" (related to Peter Phillips). She has made several public interviews, so she is not exactly avoiding public life.". The last sentence is covered extensively in Who is a low-profile individual?. Any notability of the subject is directly related to her marriage to Peter Phillips. "Low-profile" "is someone who has been covered in reliable sources without seeking such attention, often as part of their connection with a single event.". Neither are "titled", nor their children, they are not "working royals", and that does give credibility to WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE.

The opening sentence of the article states: "...is the wife of Peter Phillips...". The only thing likely to change in the future would be, "is the ex-wife of Peter Phillips". Any "appearances" with Peter, the grandson of the Queen, even if involving "public functions" the Queen is attending, would normally be as the wife of Peter in non-self-promotional functions.

The entire lead provides zero notability of the subject not connected with Peter Phillips. The entire article with 29 references provides no independent notability, certainly not in the lead or "Early life" sections, and the bulk of the article is found in the "Marriage to Peter Phillips" and "Children" sections. To fans of "including everything in the world on Wikipedia" (encyclopedic or possibly not) that is likely to be hard to understand. There are numerous sources that state the subject and her husband are considered "low-keyed" or maintaining a "low profile". It could be argued: "But they reportedly were interviewed and photographed by Hello! magazine, for an apparent fee of £500,000.": Please see Wikipedia:Who is a low-profile individual#Behavior pattern and activity level.

Sources need to "support a claim of notability" over just supporting content. When notability is called into question we cannot just assert there is notability. There are what looks like 9 links to The Daily Telegraph (counts as one towards notability), along with around 20 other references, and we still have an article captioned as "the wife of Peter Phillips". Regardless of any rhetoric, defending of the article, or The Daily Telegraph, that is what is presented, but may soon be the above mentioned "ex-wife of Peter Phillips".

I joined Wikipedia because I liked the idea of sharing knowledge freely with the world so I am not a fan of the The Daily Telegraph. Partly because they have already received compensation for what they want us to pay for again, but also because they do print tabloid type money making news stories. Unless consensus was to change the reliability of The Daily Telegraph is not questioned. That is not the point. A misconception is that several references do not automatically confer notability. This can be seen by a more common trend that comments such as "Keep, the article has plenty of reliable sources", are not generally counted as valid.

I would be so open to constructive comments providing independent notability (since I could not find any) that could be added to the lead (and referenced in the body), not related to Peter Phillips, the marriage or children, or the crown. I don't see that it exists. Without that, we are just supporting the creation of a pseudo biography that includes If the event itself is not notable enough for an article, and the person was noted only in connection with it, it's very likely that there is no reason to cover that person at all. This can be seen as an easy rebuttal of a presumption of notability. -- Otr500 (talk) 17:37, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously she is known because of her association with the British royal family. Is anyone associated with the Royal family notable? Absolutely not. How do we determine which are notable and which aren't? We see if there is significant coverage in reliable sources. WP:NOTINHERITED actually makes this exact point: "The fact of having a famous relative is not, in and of itself, sufficient to justify an independent article. Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people (including politicians) can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship, but only if they pass WP:GNG."

I also want to point out that in WP:NOTINHERITED, which a few used as an argument for deletion, has one example about marriage -- and it's used to show as a reason not to use for deletion. It even goes on to say about not inherited: "Note, however, that this does not apply to situations where the fact of having a relationship to another person inherently defines a public position that is notable in its own right, such as a national First Lady." I personally think being a part of the British royal family does denote a public position, but I'm sure some might disagree. Either way, it's just an additional thought, since the new sources added pass WP:GNG. Whisperjanes (talk) 02:47, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The argument for WP:GNG is a bit weaker, because most of the sources I am finding simply mention her with respect to her roles—but, there are quite a few sources, from Broadway World and Los Angeles Times, among others. The article itself needs some work, but I don't think deletion is necessary in this instance. Dflaw4 (talk) 04:56, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Her guest roles and smaller roles wouldn't come in to play with WP:NACTOR. I see she had supporting roles in those two films, but I'm not seeing evidence that her role in those movies were significant. Broadway World wouldn't be considered a reliable secondary source.

Sulfurboy (talk) 09:45, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Right, Sulfurboy, but they do show that the actress has a fairly large body of work, and there are a few more films in which she has had supporting roles, too. I generally consider supporting roles in notable films to be "significant". As for the Los Angeles Times articles, they do seem to be fairly routine, I agree: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2019-09-10/new-movies-opening-in-la-this-week-sept-15-22-brad-pitt-ad-astra-downton-abbey-Rambo; https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-thursdays-tv-highlights-working-the-engels-on-nbc-20140820-story.html.

The result was keep. There seems to be consensus to keep this article per WP:NOLY. The general argument for deletion was that WP:OLY only offered a presumption of notability. However, it is worth noting that WP:GNG also uses the word presumed, and that the ultimate standard of notability is consensus in a deletion discussion. Special notability guidelines exist to complement the GNG in fields where coverage may be more sparse. (non-admin closure) ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 19:24, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Going to basically copy and paste my response from the other AfD: WP:NOLYMPICS doesn't exist because someone decided out of nowhere that all Olympians are notable or to override general notability guidelines. With arguably the exception of the earliest editions, but certainly by 1920, people who attended the Olympics were not just picked out of a hat, they were elite athletes at the national level. In 2020 on Google, yes, the only thing that is readily available is that he participated in one event at the Games, but the fact that he was there in the first place suggests that he had at least some success in his home country, which is probably difficult to find information about unless you have access to Belgian publications from the 1910s and 1920s. WP:NOLYMPICS exists, therefore, because consensus determined that if the individual was at the Games, there is a significant likelihood that sufficient sources for a biography exist that may just be difficult to access. My work is on pre-1952 Egyptian athletes, and information beyond their Olympic appearance is difficult to find in Arabic online, let alone in English. But I happen to have access to newspapers and sports journals from that era and there is plenty of coverage on all of them that would satisfy WP:N with ease. For a country like Belgium, which at the time had a better-developed press and sporting infrastructure, there must exist coverage of all of their Olympians that would easily satisfy WP:N, I just can't access it (or at least read it). WP:NOLYMPICS represents that consensus that these sources likely exist for all Olympians, even if we cannot find them, and so we can avoid discussions such as this and presume notability unless there is convincing evidence otherwise. Canadian Paul 06:46, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "presume notability unless there is convincing evidence otherwise. " One cannot prove such a negative.

Meets WP:NOLY as an Olympian, but fails WP:GNG as there are no significant, indepth sources about him (and meeting GNG is a requirement under NOLY as well, just being an Olympian is an indication of possible notability, but not a default pass). Note that the article (based on a database source) even gets his name wrong, he was Gerard Bertheloot, not "Gérald". All I was able to find was some local stuff from his city Kortrijk, and one picture in an old local newspaper.

Contrary to current competitors at the Olympic, many competitors at the early games (pre-1940 roughly) are barely documented or remembered, and got little attention at the time either. This is one of those who is barely something beyond a name in a database, and thus not fit to be the subject of an enwiki article. Fram (talk) 09:47, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • As the current discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)#Change to WP:NOLY makes clear, meeting WP:NOLY gives someone a presumed notability, which has to be demonstrated when challenged. You are simply restating the presumption, without any evidence. The first Afd closed as "no consensus", hardly an overwhelming reason to keep this one.

I respect that Lugnuts has put in a lot of time here to create articles on Olympians. If you Google search them and find multiple sources which can be used to expand them, great. But when you search and literally find nothing but the database mentioning one Olympic appearance, how do we expand ones like this? I think in cases where they'll only ever remain database stubs we should redirect into lists like List of competitors at the 1928 Summer Olympics. When creating the stubs I would check to see if there are further sources available for later expansion, if not then perhaps consider merging into a list which gives birth and place of birth dates of each competitor. I think this a wider issue, not just one off Olympians but villages (even a lot of ones I created), moths etc which currently only have stark database mentions. At the end of the day we want to write an encyclopedia and if there's nothing which can be used to even write a 1 kb stub we should consider a way to convey the same info in lists without readers having to search through hundreds of pages...♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:30, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete – We can't write a biography without in-depth (read: GNG) sources. Meeting an ATH SNG, alone, isn't a reason to keep. NOTDIR is the policy that governs here: we are not a directory of Olympic athletes. Levivich ^{[dubious – discuss]} 19:32, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. We should not be trying to create articles without secondary sources to speak of; per WP:NOTDIR which trumps notability guidelines. SNGs that recommend the creation of such unsuitable articles should be revised. NB, calling a good faith editor "notorious troll" is completely unacceptable. buidhe 04:35, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. A google search is woefully inadequate in assessing notability for someone like Bertheloot. Likewise, databases such as Newspapers.com are also insufficient because they do not include sources from the non-English speaking world. It seems prudent (perhaps essential) to check French and Belgian sources from the late 1920s and early 1930s to see what type of coverage Bertheloot actually received. Barring negative results from such a search, and in the case of a pre-Internet subject most likely to be covered in the non-English-speaking world, I do not think that there is a sound basis for rebutting the presumption of notability that flows from WP:NOLYMPICS.  Cbl62 (talk) 04:50, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And someone might be upset if their hometown or favorite animal article is vandalized. I’d be very upset if someone vandalized the llama article with an anti-llama rant. That’s all irrelevant.

• Keep I think WP:ATH is met here. Not surprising there isn't a ton on the internet, but there probably is some more in print sources. We do have this image FWIW. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 14:51, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:NEXIST, which says that if reliable sources exist, then the subject is notable. Dr. Blofeld's point that "we can't currently access them and are unlikely to for a Very long time if ever" isn't relevant; offline and hard-to-reach sources still exist, even if an individual editor can't access them. Likewise, WP:ARTN says that the current state of the article doesn't affect the subject's notability. Personally, I agree that this article is not interesting and won't win any awards, but I disagree that it makes the website crap. The website is fine. -- Toughpigs (talk) 23:39, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• • However, once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface. – WP:NEXIST Levivich ^{[dubious – discuss]} 00:10, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Nominator acknowledges that the subject competed in the Olympics, so the subject meets WP:NOLY. What else? As it is the subject passes the SNG. Those who appear in the Olympics are notable. In addition to SNG - not that it is needed but WP:NEXIST as other editors have stated. Lightburst (talk) 02:35, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Competing in the Olympics makes you notable based on common sense. Not sure why this keeps coming up since these articles always get kept don't they? The Notability guidelines all have a disclaimer saying "It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply." See that last part? And despite some desperately trying to ignore the subject specific guidelines, WP:NOTABILITY clearly states "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right". So either common sense or the subject specific guideline for this sort of thing, proves the subject is notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. Dream Focus 03:47, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:NEXIST, which says that if reliable sources exist, then the subject is notable. I agree with the reasoning of Toughpigs. the subject meets WP:NOLY. For sure, sources are out there, but they are antiquated and not on the internet. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:44, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep OK, the minimum standard I expect is now there, I got it to 719 bytes of readable prose and 124 words. Please try to expand these stubs a bit so they actually half resemble encyclopedia articles, thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:30, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, personality in public spotlight for decades. He was the runner-up for the Shillong parliamentary seat in 2014, obtaining 168,961 votes. He was the dominant candidate in 11 out of 25 several assembly constituencies in the state, (https://meghalayatimes.info/tsunami-modi-sweeps-nation-congress-demolished/). In addition to the references in the articles, there are as well as a number of descriptions of the person as "a prominent church leader and activist" (Khasi and Jaintia Hills, https://www.telegraphindia.com/states/north-east/meghalaya-hopes-for-mine-rescue/cid/1680286), "KJEPC convener P B M Basaiawmoit" (http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/content/23985/tribals-oppose-uranium-mining/), "P.B.M. Basaiawmoit, a Presbyterian Church member and former vice-president of the National Council of Churches in India" (https://www.worldwatchmonitor.org/2018/03/good-friday-holiday-reinstated-in-christian-majority-indian-state-after-protests/), etc, without mentioning the references in local languages. Notably, the article was featured on mainpage of Wikipedia in T:DYK. --Soman (talk) 14:56, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Considering the number of votes polled in that constituency was 6,19,987 votes, it is not unusual that he still lost. Anyway the primary concern per WP:NPOL is the lack of electoral success and article covering the subject in significant detail (despite being in politics for decades). The sources linked above are passing mentions/ comments in article covering other topics, and not meeting WP:GNG of this person. Also T:DYK is not a notability criteria.DBigXrayᗙ 15:10, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep simple Google search produces repeated appearances in the Indian English-language press over 10+ years, seems to be a notable North-Eastern activist, Christian religious leader, was Vice-President of the Indian affiliate of the World Council of Churches. Meets GNG. Subject occupies multiple categories, rigid categorisation for deletion purposes via NPOL is inappropriate. --Goldsztajn (talk) 23:42, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep due to the article's DYK status. If one were to delete it, one should first go through the list of editors active on DYK and alert them first to this deletion notice. Until that is done, it is not really fair for AfD to infringe on DYK's turf by deleting the article. If you delete it, someone could claim that makes this corner of the website supreme. This has never been decided yet.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 01:37, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
