By the way here is information about Rashad Nabiyev on web-site of Azerbaijani "Independent Information Agency" (Müstəqil İnformasiya Agentliy). So, the basic criteria is satisfied: There is significant coverage of Nabiyev in reliable independent secondary source. --Interfase (talk) 15:31, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • First, notability is not inherited – the notability of Azercosmos contributes to, but does not automatically confer, notability on its chairman. Nabiyev's notability must be established on its own. Second, the coverage you point is not clearly independent – the bulk of its coverage of the subject are two large quotes, one from another source whose identity is not clear, and the other apparently attributed to Nabiyev himself. —swpbT go beyond 20:52, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sources with the information about Nabiyev are clear independent. By the way the web-site of Azercosmos where we have biographical data about Nabiyev is also independent reliable notable source, because it is not his own web-site and Azercosmos is not his own company, it is a government company. So, we clearly see that the basic criteria is satisfied at least by two sources. --Interfase (talk) 04:25, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • All you've done is demonstrate that you have not read (or not understood) the notability criteria, which describe what "independent" means. It doesn't just mean "written by a different person". Azercosmos is Nabiyev's employer: nothing they publish about him can be considered remotely independent, by even the most generous interpretation, government or not. This is simply not open for debate. Nor have you refuted the case I made that the first source you gave isn't clearly independent–saying it is, without showing how, does nothing. You need to understand something about deletion discussions: the administrators who decide the outcome don't just count up the votes – they weigh whether the arguments are sound in the context of established guidelines. I know you don't have much experience here yet, and I believe you're acting in good faith, but please don't imagine you've offered a valid case yet. —swpbT go beyond 14:02, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I clearly understand notability criteria and see that there is enough information in independent reliable sources (including site of Azercosmos as it is not own company of Nabiyev) showing the notability of Nabiyev. Independent Information Agency of Azerbaijan is also reliable independent source showing his notability. You may have another opinion but I think that my arguments (I didn't just voted as you can see) will be clear for administrators as well. --Interfase (talk) 15:37, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "I clearly understand notability criteria...independent reliable sources (including site of Azercosmos as it is not own company of Nabiyev)" Then no, you don't understand. Maybe you've decided not to understand. Some sources can be argued as falling in a gray area; the subject's employer is never one of them. —swpbT go beyond 17:53, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Here is an interview of Nabiyev in English to "The Business Year" with the biography of Nabiyev. One more reliable independent source showing the notability of Nabiyev. What else do you need? The book about him? --Interfase (talk) 15:47, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
By the way the first two Additional criteria of WP:ANYBIO are also satisfied. In 2014 by the Order of the President of Azerbaijan Rashad Nabiyev for services in the development of space industry was awared with the Progress medal[1]. As you can see the contribution of Nabiyev in his specific field was recognized by the President of Azerbaijan and he received a well-known and significant award of the Republic. --Interfase (talk) 16:08, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Now this is a bit more convincing. I don't know if it's enough, but I'm glad you dug it up and I hope you add it, sourced, to the article. —swpbT go beyond 17:53, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I can see he has done some things of note, and there is at least one good RS, but he really needs more than this to establish WP:NOT. As mentioned, the fact he is a chairman of a large company, and has won a medal doesn't automatically confer notability. Deathlibrarian (talk) 23:06, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Actually does. Nabiyev was awarded with the state "Progress Medal" for his signidicant contributions in the development of space industry in Azerbaijan. According to WP:ANYBIO, the person is notable if he has received a well-known and significant award or honor (Nabiyev has received such one), or has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field (Nabiyev received the award for his recognized contribution in his specific field). --Interfase (talk) 19:54, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Searches have only turned up hits from Wikipedia mirrors and Facebook. There's a chance that the subject may have been real, but he certainly isn't notable; no notability or even existence can be definitively established.

  • Weak Delete a really tough one to figure out since it's so poorly referenced (at least in English) and the subject lived 800 years ago. I don't really want to vote delete since a delete vote could be disproven with credible references, but I don't really see what else we can do (maybe a merge to the person he learned from?). SportingFlyer (talk) 05:50, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note Weak Delete - I suspect the building would be notable and possibly the subject as well - 800 year old shrines typically are notable. What is really needed here is someone well versed in Sindhi and Urdu to look for sources. The English variant we're using may be mangled. Barring sources, this fails WP:V, hence my !vote - and I'll be amenable to changing it should any credible source emerge (which I have not been able to find)Icewhiz (talk) 08:32, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    The more proper English spelling is Pir Chandram (there is a village there, road). Some sources in English do exist - e.g. [2].Icewhiz (talk) 09:13, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    The building pictured is probably this one - google maps.Icewhiz (talk) 09:21, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    There is also a "Chandan Pir Hill" [3] in Sasaram which may or may not be connected (and is better known for an Asoka inscription, not for the Pir).Icewhiz (talk) 09:40, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think the source User:Icewhiz found, Balochistan Through the Ages: Tribes, is referring to the same thing. That source talks about a Pir Chandram near Chhati, which is a few hundred miles away from Dakhan and Medaji, where Pir Chandam is. There are sources that mention the village of Pir Chandam, and there is a shrine there. Here is an article mentioning an Urs at that shrine. If we redirect to Dakhan or Medaji, we can mention at that article that there is a nearby village of Pir Chandam with a shrine, but I don't see that the shrine is clearly dedicated to a figure named Shaheed, but I'm not sure. Smmurphy(Talk) 02:53, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Shaheed or shahid is a title here. As is Pir. A title which is self implicitly about a Muslim (and for Pir a Sufi) figure. The different locations on the subcontinent named Pir Chandam/ram/an/ran may all be for the same Pir (or not).Icewhiz (talk) 05:01, 22 February 2018 (UTC) If the individual has a shrine (or even possibly multiple shrines/locations) - he probably is notable and there probably are sources, quite possible non-English ones.Icewhiz (talk) 05:04, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still not convinced. The sources as listed are just the names of the individual's teachers, Bahauddin Zakariya and Lal Shahbaz Qalander, so I looked for a biography of them but didn't find one in English. There is likely to be one in Urdu, so perhaps there is mention of Pir Chandam in that. I didn't find mention of the individual in material about Bahauddin Zakariya or about Lal Shahbaz Qalander. Unless something more is found, I'm not planning to !vote one way or the other. Smmurphy(Talk) 12:34, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep per WP:GEOLAND. The small village, road, and shrine 1.65km east of Dakhan pass WP:V (news reporting, map, and a number of other sources (e.g. flood relief and meteorological). Details on the Sufi Pir (or saint) currently lack a citation.Icewhiz (talk) 06:58, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep and rename. I've changed my mind. I'd support an article about the village titled "Pir Chandam". The article would basically say that the village exists, it is near Dakhan, and it has a Sufi Shrine. If the proposal is keep and rename, then I support that. Smmurphy(Talk) 13:03, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    It's what we've got at the moment that passes WP:V (+retaining the picture of the shrine which would be a shame to lose if unlinked). I presume this Pir is notable as an individual - but we need someone who is good enough with Sindhi or Urdu to locate sources.Icewhiz (talk) 13:16, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I am very poor at Urdu, but it is usually enough if there were something available online, but I haven't found anything. Do you (or anyone) have any leads in Urdu? Smmurphy(Talk) 14:49, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Afraid not, and in this can Sindhi would also be highly relevant. I haven't been able to find the proper spelling for the village in Urdu or in Sindhi (and I looked - however wasn't able to find bi-lingual maps or other such sources on-line. Found lots of google-maps clones and for some odd reason google maps only has the English name on this one) - which if I had I might have been able to locate something off of.Icewhiz (talk) 15:00, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I wondered when I started my search, but I think this is a case where they've changed names too often for their own good. The three top references, all of which I added, are independent coverage of the company, and we also have CounterSpy (software), which is about a product of Sunbelt Software. (See my note on the talk page for the Vipre article suggesting a merger of some sort, which pre-dates this AfD). The sources indicate that the company was originally Sunbelt Software; there's a merger and a re-founding in its history, but there are three corporate names and probably more sources yet to be found in addition to the 3 (and further reviews of the product that I didn't add). The editor with the apparent COI has been trying to make a case via accolades/distinctions; reading the reviews, that doesn't apply, but I believe GNG is met. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:51, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This anti-virus product recently was rated one of the best a nti-virus products by the premier anti-virus rating organizations.[4] From a software design/technical point of view their product is very good. However, from a marketing point of view Avast/Norton outdo them. But I think the product gets an adequate amount of industry citations/awards to merit a Wikipedia article.Knox490 (talk) 23:24, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good morning - Thanks for your notes and direction. The company does have a confusing history and naming conventions. The history is Sunbelt Software, GFI Software and ThreatTrack Security dba VIPRE. Although our legal name is ThreatTrack Security, we are associating ourselves with our DBA- VIPRE. www.VIPRE.com I'd be happy to help source this with our legal docs that may help. I'll look for guidance here. I don't want the page deleted if I can work with you all to source the edit requests. Jasongrantnorton (talk) 15:30, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Country-by-year participations at the Mediterranean Games are not notable. These articles do not contain any text, but just medal tallies and tables giving the lists of medallists and/or details results of the events the delegation participated in. It seems some sport enthusiasts are using Wikipedia as a directory for storing sport results and statistics, a violation of WP:NOTDIR.

It should be noted that the names of all medallists are already covered at the sport-by-year Mediterranean Games articles.

This nomination is aimed at establishing a consensus on the inclusion of articles on country-by-year participations at the Mediterranean Games ‘’in general’’ – that is, in cases where they have not received any special or exceptional coverage. 103.6.159.82 (talk) 08:24, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm posting this for an IP who pulled it together in Draft space. I agree with the delete rational provided and support Delete all. I've tagged all pages through 1987 with AfD notices. If someone feels it is important they can tag the rest. Many of thesee pages have zero sources, many tagged as such for years.

Discussion and voting

[edit]
Comment I removed the heading as it made it look like there's a page called "Discussion and Voting" nominated for deletion in the log. I've also removed 1 article from the nomination as it was already deleted in November. IffyChat -- 09:57, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not for all. For example Italy at the Mediterranean Games is 14Kb and any of 13 single pages is about 7.5Kb. Then 14 + (7.5 x 13) = 115.5Kb, more that 100Kb than too large. --Kasper2006 (talk) 17:37, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing one page was prod'd successfully is useful. I've restored the heading because it makes it much easier to vote without scrolling thru so much marked up text. ~||~
Is it valid? Most of the pages have no sources at all. Legacypac (talk) 16:28, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep all -- First of all, it's impossible to have a sensible discussion about this many articles. Secondly, these are obviously notable. The newspapers of each participating country obviously cover their participation in these games, so there have to be sources in the world. If someone wants to add them to the articles they will, but as per WP:ARTN only their existence need be established for notability to follow necessarily. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 21:42, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is not right, WP:ARTN only applies to the content of articles (ie sections), where the notability of the article itself (ie the topic) is established by WP:GNG. Prince of Thieves (talk) 21:45, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is perfectly reasonable to consider per WP:BUNDLE. They are all the same class of article with the same issues. Where is the coverage and why not cover these within the Games Year pages. Legacypac (talk) 21:48, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • What are you talking about, Prince of Thieves? WP:ARTN doesn't only apply to sections of articles. That's silly. ARTN says that the notability of a subject is determined by the sources in the world, not by the sources in the article: " if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability." Obviously the source material exists for every single one of these articles. Hence the subject of each is notable. Hence each should be kept. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 13:31, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just as an example, anyone who says these things can be sourced, prove it by making France at the 2013 Mediterranean Games meet the WP:GNG guidelines. And no complaining, France has many newspapers, and 2013 sources are still all on the web. If this is possible, maybe we can consider the validity of these articles. Prince of Thieves (talk) 21:54, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Testing out this suggestion, I've found multiple sources covering the 2013 French delegation for the Mediterrean Games and its medallists. I'm sure there's more but I'm not familiar with the French internet. [8][9][10][11] SFB 23:51, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:DINC, Prince of Thieves. No one here has to add sources just to convince you of anything. There are sources, which you can see for yourself if you look. The default position at WP is to keep articles. The burden of proof lies on those who would delete or redirect. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 13:33, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Not really, I don't see enough coverage on the 2013 French delegation to justify an article beyond France at the Mediterranean Games and 2013 Mediterranean Games. The position is to prove to me and other editors with a similar opinion (Redirect/merge) that a set of articles is justified. It is entirely possible that this is this the case, however it would be very helpful for anyone advocating the merit of these articles to give an idea of the sources they are looking at (maybe they also speak French, non?). Purely to keep the discussion consistent, I chose to focus on what is probably one of the most notable countries, to avoid having to discuss the merits of what constitutes a reliable source in Algeria, or whether we should keep some and not others, because obviously we either keep all or done for consistency, unless someone has a workable alternative. Therefore I am mainly talking about France at the 2013 Mediterranean Games. It should be fairly obvious that I made use of google and other searches before even commenting, and I expect others have too, so again, if you have specific sources that demonstrate the merit of these articles, then identifying them is a good idea. It's very common to vaguely link to a google search as if that shows anything at all, but it doesn't help. Prince of Thieves (talk) 13:48, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • And Italy at the 2013 Mediterranean Games is 84Kb :O :O (I'm not the creator of the article). I think that deletion of articles like this is absurd for wikipedia :) --Kasper2006 (talk) 17:55, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or Merge to "Country at the Mediterranean Games", similar thing was recently done with Nations at the IAAF World Indoor Championships by @Sillyfolkboy:. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 22:21, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I would say that if this outcome is not keep, then there is no reason to oppose a merge to the main pages such at Algeria at the Mediterranean Games, which is a topic whose notability is pretty evident. For the athletics set Pelmeen mentions, I have suggested starting at the "country @ games" level before splitting off if the volume of information requires it. For example, we'll certainly struggle to contain information on all 1500+ of France's medals at this Games on one page, and there will likely be plenty of sourcing to validate some yearly articles on that. Information on small nations like Andorra, on the other hand, would be much better served at a central page in any case. SFB 00:08, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment My general feelings on this article type is I don't see the point of exhaustive results coverage at that venue. People will not be checking France at the 2013 Mediterranean Games to see that bronze medallist Simon Guerin was fifth in his heat, for example, or what the first set score between the 1st round France v. Egypt volleyball game was. I feel the articles would be better if they focused essentially on medalist stats, participation stats, and an addendum of athletes' final finishing positions. On that approach you could actually have one whole sortable table of results per country with columns: Athlete/team, sex, sport, event, result. I think that approach would also help fix the issue of the enormously-sized articles we have for larger events, such as United States at the 2012 Summer Olympics. I think there is an overall content and scope issue that needs addressing here that goes broader than the highlighted articles. SFB 00:08, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Not all of the listed articles have afd notifications. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 16:37, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all... - the main argument in this AfD is the lack of sources in the existing articles. While this is certainly a problem, Sillyfolkboy has shown pretty clearly that this is in large part just a result of no good-faith attempt to find some. WP:V addresses whether or not something is verifiable, not verified. Outside of BLP issues, non-contentious articles being poorly sourced is not criteria for deletion, it's criteria for improvement. While some of the proposed changes to "minimise" such content so that it would be viable to have on a single article spanning many years may work for countries like Andorra, it would range from unwieldy to downright disastrous as the generalised default as is being proposed here. While I can see a case that the smaller articles might in theory make more sense at a single aggregated location, I believe that this is a case of preference rather than one of notability, and in my mind the advantages of consistency in each delegation's articles being named and formatted similarly far outweighs any advantages that case-by-case merges can give. SellymeTalk 17:54, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • ...and a comment - I urge everyone to remember that step one of the deletion process is very clear that attempting to improve articles should be done before an AfD, and there has clearly been no effort to do that here. That certainly doesn't overrule other Wikipedia guidelines, but keep in mind that some of the content presented here is going to look more bare than it otherwise should simply by virtue of having skipped part of the process. In addition to the sparse citations I mentioned above, I found several articles that were only seemed empty because they were straight-up missing huge portions of their intended content, which is clearly going to reflect poorly on any deletion nomination. This is something that could have easily been fixed, either by the nominator themselves, or by simply going over to WP:MUSE and asking someone who already works on those kinds of articles to improve it. While I'm not fantastic at finding sources (due in no small part to my only speaking English), filling out result information is definitely in my wheelhouse, and I intend to personally improve the holes in these articles pending the result of this nomination. SellymeTalk 17:54, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can I just point out that I don't doubt the current information presented here can be verified, I am just not sure that an individual country at the games in a given year is notable, in my view, France at the Mediterranean Games is notable, and 2013 Mediterranean Games is notable, and both can give overviews and tables of winners. I will point out that the individual articles can give more information, for example France at the 2013 Mediterranean Games includes all the French althletes, but is someone who came 7th in the 50 m backstroke worth mentioning? It is these non-winners that these articles are essentially lists of, since the winners can be listed elsewhere. We must then determine if these non-winners are notable purely for going to and competing in the Mediterranean Games, similar to how anyone who competes in the olympics is notable, if so, then listing the entire delegation is worthwhile, but otherwise I seriously question the merit of these articles. Prince of Thieves (talk) 00:22, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the notability guidelines. It doesn't matter whether or not 6th*-placed finisher in the 50m backstroke Eric Ress is notable, because it's not Eric Ress that's being nominated for deletion. WP:NNC is very clear that it's the article that needs to be notable, not every individual piece of content in the article. So the question that determines notability in this case isn't "is it worth including non-winners", it's "did France's participation at the 2013 Mediterranean Games have significant independent coverage". As has been demonstrated above, the answer to that is yes. SellymeTalk 13:32, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No. The more relevant issue is; did the limited parts of France's participation at the 2013 Mediterranean Games which are not already covered at France at the Mediterranean Games and 2013 Mediterranean Games have enough significant independent coverage to justify a third article on the exact same topic. Noting guidelines such as WP:WHENSPLIT. Bearing this in mind, it is then up to us to consider what content there is in this article, which is not simply duplicating information from other articles. Prince of Thieves (talk) 14:43, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Assuming that each article was of good quality (which we should - it's our job to fix that if they aren't and not let it impact policy), the size of an article such as France at the Mediterranean Games containing all of the information available at the yearly breakdowns would be an order of magnitude or more greater than the guidelines in WP:WHENSPLIT. Nations such as Andorra may be on the bubble of WHENSPLIT, and I could at least understand the rationale for merger in that case, but I would argue that the WP:SURPRISE would favour having separate articles even then for consistency's sake. For what it's worth, as far as I can tell, the only content on France at the 2013 Mediterranean Games that is present on either of the other two pages you linked is the total medal count and standings, so it's not like these pages are a 99% duplicate with one or two lines of additional information that can't justify a split. SellymeTalk 18:24, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The non-notability of these as topics, better covered in articles about each games or about the country in many games is the primary deletion rational. The almost complete lack of sourcing is just icing on the deletion cake. We have pages on Each Games. We have pages on individual countries acoss the games. We don't need the intersection of these two pages to exist as a poorly sourced unimportant topic. Legacypac (talk) 00:29, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- This deletion discussion is intrinsically flawed since many of the nominated pages don't even have AfD notices at the top of them. How in the world can we expect interested parties to weigh in if the pages aren't tagged right. I move that we suspend the discussion until nom tags pages properly, then relist so that it's up at least a week after all are tagged. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 14:22, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree, having some of the affected articles untagged is a serious oversight. And nothing is being hurt by additional time for debate. Prince of Thieves (talk) 14:27, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As I said in my comments on the nomination "I've tagged all pages through 1987 with AfD notices. If someone feels it is important they can tag the rest". Legacypac (talk) 14:29, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I forgot about that, I feel that someone having pointed it out as an flaw means it should be viewed as important and done. But the discussion here is still quite limited so relisting is not an issue. Prince of Thieves (talk) 14:35, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • You can't just not tag articles and expect other people to do it for you. WP:BUNDLE states explicitly that you have to tag each article. Then WP:AFDLIST says, You must perform all three stages of the process If you're not going to put forth the effort to carry out the nomination process properly the whole thing ought to be cancelled.

For example Italy at the Mediterranean Games is 14Kb and any of 13 single pages is about 7.5Kb. Then 14 + (7.5 x 13) = 115.5Kb, more that 100Kb than too large. And Italy at the 2013 Mediterranean Games is 84Kb :O :O (I'm not the creator of the article).

The tl;dr of the above is that it would be the right size if it only listed medal winners. The question is do we want to list all the competitors, mot of which do not have articles. Prince of Thieves (talk) 17:08, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
First off, it's worth pointing out that France alone has won over 1,600 medals – and they're not even on top of the medal tally. I admittedly haven't done the maths, but I'm pretty confident that there's no way you're fitting that many medal winners into a single article without hitting the WP:SPLIT guidelines. Secondly, I'm aware that WP:OTHERSTUFF isn't a valid argument, but it's still worth looking at precedent set by other sports articles here. It's certainly very common for a tournament/event/team article to be considered notable even when almost every single individual participant is not, leaving to a page full of redlinks (or unlinked names). Canadian Masters Curling Championships, 2018 ITF Men's Circuit (January–March), Topklasse (cricket), and even other MSE articles like Mexico at the 2007 Pan American Games are articles on notable topics where the participants themselves are assumed to be non-notable. In many of those examples (I suspect the Pan American Games being the only exception), even "winning" the event wouldn't automatically meet notability guidelines, so for the events to be notable themselves we must be saying that the sum of many non-notable participants can create a notable event. I believe this to be true – a nation's entire delegation at a one of the biggest multi-sport events is certainly more notable in my eyes than the sum of its parts (each individual athlete who is participating). This matches the coverage of such events, too: most news coverage will be looking at their nation's performance each day in the Games as a whole, rather than looking at each individual athlete one-by-one. This even scales to the bigger events: I could find you tens of thousands of articles about Australia at the 2018 Winter Olympics, but barely any about Nathan Johnstone, even though he's a World Championships gold medallist.
Perhaps a better argument would be an analogy to a more direct team sport, though. A nation's delegation at a MSE is a team, after all. Should Dorchester Town F.C. only list the players that are notable, and not include those that would redlink? Or should it be based purely on merit, and only goal-scorers get listed, with other players not being listed even if they are notable? If these would remove too much content, should it get merged into List of teams competing in the Southern League with a small snippet of each team listing only its notable players? This may seem like ridiculous comparison, but setting the precedent of deleting articles because most of the individual content isn't notable brings in to question hundreds of thousands of similar end of the line articles, that are sitting right on the bottom rung of notability with few "sub-articles" to link to, and I think that everyone here would agree that the vast majority of those such articles should be largely left how they are. I suspect that in this case there's a "bias" (for lack of a better word) towards Delete because the quality of the articles is pretty terrible. For example, Spain at the 2009 Mediterranean Games seems like the world's easiest Delete vote at first glance, but they sent 249 athletes to the games (more than any nation did at the 2018 Winter Olympics) and won 84 medals, including 28 golds. If that content was well-presented it probably wouldn't even get nominated. SellymeTalk 19:13, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of meeting WP:CORP. Coverage appears to be mostly about the events the company arranges, not the company itself. There's some WP:1EVENT controversy about the company's ex-founder, not much else. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:49, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Events noted on this page have relevance to a fairly large pool of people. If a company page is not appropriate, can it be migrated to something else? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.210.114.12 (talk) 21:58, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    See WP:CORP for notability guidelines. That's all that matters here for companies.

  • Delete. Coverage? I can't see any – 0 hits on GNews. The article has been reduced to a few lines, but if anything that's an improvement.

  • Delete: It is surprising, given the discussions on the article Talk page, that it did not arrive at AfD before this. It appears to be a run-of-the-mill events business; I am seeing nothing to demonstrate WP:CORPDEPTH notability, nor is that inherited from recent social media posts concerning a person associated with the company. AllyD (talk) 13:05, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - non-notable company. The founder's alleged sexual harassment may or may not be notable, but would have to be sourced according to WP:BLP and pass WP:BLP1E for that to be included.

  • COMMENT I'm a bit confused, because I thought the article was already deleted. That being said, this AFD and the responses are a bit misguided. The article was originally one specifically about notable event(s). At some point someone thought it should be renamed for the company, which is silly, because the article was about notable events, not a non-notable company that happened to run them. You can read more in the discussion here: Talk:Widdershins,_LLC#Notability_&_Advertisment_flags Centerone (talk) 22:45, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @Centerone: The article had been deleted via WP:PROD, which is restorable by request. That is why it is now here. All of the contribution history is available for anyone to look at. The article is unarguably about the company, and it is arguable whether the events associated with the company are notable at all. Combining them into one article does not create notability, as was pointed out to you on the talk page. Feel free to write a stand-alone article about any of the events listed, or propose how this article can be kept. As it stands, I found it unacceptable for main article space, so I proposed it for deletion here. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:05, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I DID work on a stand-alone article. Someone else made the page about the event about the company, which it is and was arguably and quite clearly not actually about. If you actually read the talk page in depth, and the history, you would have seen a discussion on this very thing. Yes, at least several of the events, including Wicked Faire, and SPWF, amongst others, are easily and quite clearly notable. People have played games with the content. If you'll notice, I'm not actually arguing for an article about the company to be kept, I'm just trying to point out some of the article history so that people can understand the context. Centerone (talk) 04:33, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being as yet unselected candidates in future political party primaries — even winning the primary and going into the general election as the Democratic candidate in this house district still wouldn't make her eligible for a Wikipedia article in and of itself. To earn an article now, rather, she would have to be demonstrated and properly sourced as having already been eligible for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before she was a candidate for anything. But that's not what this article or this sourcing actually show. No prejudice against recreation in November if she wins the seat, but nothing here entitles her to already have a Wikipedia article today. Bearcat (talk) 20:52, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- not only is she just a candidate, she hasn't even gotten her party's nomination yet.--Rusf10 (talk) 03:40, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Per WP:NPOL: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". I don't see anything that prevents a candidate from being covered in an article, nor do they have to be notable *before* becoming a candidate. Shireen is part of a major movement this election cycle in which first-time candidates, especially women, are running for national level office. She has been covered in multiple independent sources for this, including as part of Time Magazine's coverage of this movement. The above delete recommendations do not seem to take into account Wikipedia's own guidelines. I do have a vested interest in this article being published and believe that the article is within the guidelines as stated. Sfc2018 (talk) 17:16, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Every candidate in any election always gets some degree of media coverage, so simply being able to show that some media coverage exists is not proof in and of itself that one particular candidate is necessarily a special case over and above most other candidates. The rule for making a candidate notable enough to have a Wikipedia article is normally that she has to have preexisting notability for other reasons besides the candidacy — there can be rare exceptions in extremely rare cases on the order of Christine O'Donnell, who exploded to such a large volume of nationalized and internationalized coverage that her article is actually longer and cites more distinct footnotes than the article about the guy she lost to does. But simply showing three or four pieces of media coverage in her own district's local media is not what makes a candidate notable, because no candidate ever fails to have that. And just having her photo chosen by national media for inclusion in an illustration, when the accompanying text content doesn't single her out for anything more than a brief glancing mention, is not a notability claim that lifts a candidate above the norm, either. Furthermore, the majority of the footnotes here are primary sources that cannot support notability at all, such as "staff" profiles and pieces of her own writing and the routine paid inclusion death notice of her mother — the few sources here that are reliable and independent and about her for the purposes of establishing that she would pass a Wikipedia notability criterion are not enough, in either number or geographic range, to make her a special case over and above most other candidates. Bearcat (talk) 15:14, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete The coverage beyond what we would expect normally for candidates to public office, is not really about her, it is about an alleged large scale phenomenon, and shows her as one of many people said to represent this phenomenon.

Another BLP with serious concerns. The most--and this is really saying something about secondary coverage--I could find on this man was this. It states he was released from Guantanamo along with others, and, to the best of our very limited knowledge of him, was not charged with anything. Some lists mention him briefly, but we are not a database for these guys, especially when coverage barely exists. And, before it is carelessly brought up, this is a collection of PRIMARY documents--nothing which establishes notability. There are several articles like these with similar issues.

  • Delete as POVFORK of Guantanamo Bay detention camp. The individual might be notable (not clear per my BEFORE he is - fairly scant coverage (there was some coverage on his release in 2017, I'm not sure I accounted for all possible name variations) - good chance he isn't individually notable) - however the article as presently constituted is not about the individual but about the detention camp. I'm not sure I'd call BLP on gitmo detainees (would depend how we view their POW (or crime) status) - but there's enough other issues that support deletion.Icewhiz (talk) 08:19, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. I have added a little to the article; I noticed that the fact that a novel has been written about her was not in the article here, which it should have been. I thought it already was. --Aciram (talk) 19:48, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- Nominator badly misunderstands our criteria for deletion if they think "no sources proving notability on the article" is one of them. It is not; see WP:ARTN. Furthermore, "no Ghits that prove notoriety either" is also not related to notability. Finally, based on nom's comment above about adding "a request for citations and more content" it appears that they ought to read WP:DINC before making any more such misguided nominations. Oh, also, this article has existed on the Swedish WP since 2005 and they ought to know, right? That is, after all that, KEEP per Ymblanter. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 20:49, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as overly promotional. It is difficult to assess notability here, as searches for "My School System" and "My School" obviously return many false positives. However, the article is not far off the threshold for WP:G11 in my opinion, so I suggest deleting it as an advert that does not currently demonstrate notability.

  • Keep -- First of all, the state of the article is completely irrelevant to the question of whether or not it should be deleted. See WP:ARTN. Second, it's obvious that there might be sources in Spanish. So obvious that not to have checked for sources in Spanish violates WP:BEFORE. Third, in fact there are tons of high quality sources in Spanish, which is why the subject of this article meets the GNG and the article should be kept. Just for instance, consider this from El Pais, which, according to our article on the paper, is the second most read newspaper in Spain. And this from El Mundo, also a pretty big deal. Here is one more, but really, a GNews search in Spanish, which should have been done before nomination, will settle this question completely. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 15:04, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, spanish wp has had an article since 2007 with no issues and a good no. of sources that could be used in the wpenglish article, btw, WP:GNG states "Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language." and WP:NONENG - "Citations to non-English reliable sources are allowed on the English Wikipedia (although prefer english)", may i suggest that if the nominator, in future, has concerns with an article about a non-english subject, that they bring it up on the relevant language wikiproject talkpage so that editors who are proficient in the language can consider it? Coolabahapple (talk) 16:53, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: the English Wikipedia article is terrible, but virtually all her chart success (both solo and with her band Olé Olé) was in the 1980s, so there's no information on the internet – you can see she's had one minor hit in recent years [12] but in the 1980s she was a big singing star in Spain, with no. 1 records... you'd need to get hold of a copy of Francisco Salaverri's Solo Éxitos (1959–2012) book to check her 1980s chart positions. And her subsequent television career, both as an actress and as a presenter, is well documented in the Spanish Wikipedia article. Obviously she wasn't that famous outside the Spanish-speaking world, but there's a passing mention of her here in Billboard in 1988, for example, which mentions her success in Latin America as well – I think it's safe to say that if she was famous enough to be mentioned in Billboard in an article about Spanish musical talent, the Spanish media of the 1980s will have plenty of articles on her, it's just a case of finding print media from the era.

  • Keep -- Whatever the nom means by "notability not established," it's clear from the first two sources cited in the article that this company passes the GNG. Those are [13] and [14] in case future editing changes the order. Also, if editors of the article have COIs, there are other means of dealing with them. That is absolutely not a reason for deletion. Finally, as far as I know there's no policy against using sources just because they're "very tourism focused." If I'm wrong, let me know, but I don't see how one could reasonably expect sources on tour companies not to be "tourism focused" to some extent. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 15:10, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or Redirect - I have no real objection to a redirect, but I'm doubtful that this is "a notable topic". Nearly all of the characters in the article are sorted by the individual game they appear in, and most of the sources in the series article itself deal strictly with the individual games, which suggests to me that if we are to have coverage on Disagea characters not notable enough to have their own article, it would make the most sense to put it in the articles for the individual series installments.--Martin IIIa (talk) 17:35, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect - I don't think it should be deleted - it's a long running series noted for its odd-ball characters, so I imagine something could be written up on it, but I'm pretty sure 99% of the current article is unusable, so I don't think keeping or draftifying makes sense either.

Note that a user on Italian Wikipedia with the same name as the subject created the article "Eleonora rossin" three times in 2009. It was deleted all three times [15] — the first two as "blatantly promotional", the final time as "test page, nonsense, or stupidities". It was created a 4th time on Italian Wikipedia as "Eleonora Maria Rossin" by the same person who created the article under discussion here and likewise deleted as blatantly promotional [16]. She may have been in something performed in the La Fenice theatre, but certainly not for the opera company. She does not appear anywhere in the La Fenice Archives. If she did appear with Valentini Terrani in The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein at the Festival della Valle d'Itria in 1996, it must have been in an incredibly minor role. Observe [17] nor is she listed on the Dynamic recording which lists the full cast. Two of the "references" were deceptively, and I am tempted to say intentionally, misleading. I have corrected them. There is no such publication as NewsSpettacoliEventi. The page is actually notiziabile.it. There is a respected publication, Giornale della Musica, but the site linked in the ref is actually notizie-news.it. Like notiziabile.it, it is basically a PR platform.

  • Delete: article full of bogus information--Jeanambr (talk) 21:44, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. This article is so full of patently false information that it borders on being a hoax. Here are just a few examples (some of which have been subsequently corrected or removed by me):
  • Claim: appears on the recording "Pietro Mascagni: Cavalleria Rusticana , with Claudio Abbado, 2000" - There is no such recording
  • Claim: "In 1997, Rossin made her debut appearance at the La Fenice in Venice in the role of Maddalena in Rigoletto."La Fenice burned down in 1996 and did not re-open until 2003. She is mentioned nowhere in the La Fenice archives under any date. According to the La Fenice archives, Sinopoli never conducted Rigoletto there
  • Claim: "She published in 2014 for Feltrinelli Italian Edition the book titled La musicoterapia nelle mente e nel corpo" – patently false. It was self-published using ilmiolibro.it. Feltrinelli merely listed it on their book-selling site where they specifically state the publisher as "ilmiolibro self publishing" [18]
  • Claim: "Rossin is the niece of Giuseppe Sinopoli and Lucia Valentini Terrani"zero evidence of this apart from her own claims [19] and information added to the Italian and English Wikipedia articles on Valentini Terrani by two accounts closely associated with this article, e.g. [20], [21] [22]
  • Claim: "Rossin has performed at the Vienna State Opera, Chicago Lyric Opera, Fujiwara Opera of Tokyo, Kennedy Center of Washington and the 2005 Aix-en-Provence Festival, in the role of Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana, conducted by Giuseppe Sinopoli" – the Cavelleria Rusticana claim is patently false. It was not performed at the 2005 Aix-en-Provence Festival at all and there is zero evidence for Rossin having performed in any of the other opera venues mentioned.
  • Claim: "she made her debut with Lucia Valentini Terrani in Offenbach's The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein at the 'Festival della Valle d'Itria' at Martina Franca" – almost certainly false; she is listed nowhere in the cast for the live recording [23]
A further example of the nonsense... In the article "Enzo Ganassi" is listed as the conductor for two of her videos. However on the videos she posts and her website this person is listed variously as "Renzo Grassi" [24] or "Renzo Degrassi" [25]. I can find no evidence of the existence of either a conductor or a director by any of those three names.
Yet more nonsense... "she began composing for Japanese cinedma [sic], and has been the only female composer for the music of Anime giapu Seraphim Prologue of Mamoru Oshii, with the nickname Burondo sakkyokka". Seraphim Prologue is a book of manga, not a film with a soundtrack. Moreover, one of the accounts associated with this article added that spurious "information" to Mamoru Oshii [26]. Meanwhile, the IP 93.36.166.58 which geolocates to Turin where the subject has a music school, added yet more spurious information to Mamoru Oshii filmography [27] (there is no mention whatsoever of her on IMDB for the two other films to which she had been added as "composer"). The IP also added completely spurious claims to Rossin being the niece of Anna Moffo to the Italian and English Wikipedias [28] and here [29] as did this article's creator [30].
In short, nothing in this article can be trusted. Given that, and the multiple attempts at recreation on the the Italian Wikipedia, I highly recommend salting both under this title and under Eleonora Maria Rossin.

Article about a pharmaceutical company, not referenced to any reliable source coverage about it for the purposes of satisfying WP:CORPDEPTH: the references here are a business directory, a self-published press release, two primary source websites of non-notable industry awards that receive no media coverage, and one article which namechecks the existence of one of this company's subsidiaries a single time without actually being about it in any substantive way. Furthermore, the editor who originally created this keeps trying to revert-war it back to her preferred advertorialized version, strongly suggestive of a conflict of interest.

Hello.

@Andrew Davidson I strongly discourage merging since the columns of List of largest cities are based on population, not area in square kilometers (or km2). Instead of discussing about deleting and merging, why don't you help contribute instead? The subject on it is easy.

Also, I am very much interested in contributing to the article.

Hello.

Thank you.

I think it might be appropriate to merge it in. Since it is a WP:TNT situation, we could do that to get more attention from contributors. I agree about merging it though, but I don't know too much about these list pages.

Also, it isn't that hard to contribute to because you can just copy the area from a city's Wikipedia article (an act of pure laziness).

It is definitely not a delete.

Hello.

Keep is my opinion.

@Jakeluv I agree with you very much.

Someone once told me about the WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS but you can't apply that to an argument on a 2004 page :)

The page does need a lot of development, if we will stop WP:TNT.

Also, instead of nominating this article for an AfD and do textbook work, we could have been contributors to it instead to avoid this from happening.

All these people in this discussion could have being adding to it more right now.

      The book notes:

      He recognized the difficulties in using maps of questionable accuracy and acknowledged the problem of defining the limit of a city. Nonetheless, he was able to reduce his results to several classes of cities, by area: very large cities in excess of 2,000 arpents, such as Peking or Rome, or between 1,000 and 2,000 arpents (5–15 km2), such as Lyon or Florence; large cities, 300–1,000 arpents (1.5–5 km2), such as Brussels, Strasbourg, and The Hague; medium cities, 70–300 arpents (0.35 km 2–1.35 km2), such as Liège, Cadix, and Amiens.

  • Redirect to List of largest cities. It already has a much larger and better maintained table of cities and can be sorted by area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teraplane (talkcontribs) 00:48, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Such a list is inherently subjective because the definition of "city" varies so widely between countries and even within a country. It might make sense to list cities in this way in a jurisdiction where the definition is consistent, but a worldwide list is just a horrible pit of WP:OR. Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:15, 17 March 2018 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete, Merge, or Redirect to List of largest cities: Delete is the first choice as there is No notability for a standalone article. This AFD needs an admin closure for sure. The outcome depends on close attention to policies and guidelines as well as other criterion, and not just a head count. Any !vote except "keep" actually means editors deem a stand-alone article not appropriate. "Merge" and redirects" sometimes causes confusion and they should not. This is the 4th nomination with one deletion and an "article champion" has not emerged. The possibility of Wikipedia:POTENTIAL is negated by the lack of notability. In this case, the target article for both merge and redirect is either List of largest cities or List of cities proper by population. There are three !votes for a redirect to List of largest cities and one for List of cities proper by population. There is one merge !vote for List of largest cities. There are four !votes for delete (including my first choice). A summary would be of fourteen !votes nine consider the article not worthy of stand-alone status and five think it deserves to remain. I have serious concerns with the comments "...summary article of three lists...", so it is appropriate to have a fourth summary list? Now we need a new "Category"? What about "Also, it isn't that hard to contribute to because you can just copy the area from a city's Wikipedia article (an act of pure laziness).". If we have to "copy" Wikipedia content to another article that should be a red flag of original research, that has continuously been mentioned. There are four references and a general source and all can support content but none of the five sources advance notability and that is a criterion for inclusion on Wikipedia.

No evidence of notability. Another tragic but tragically common disappearance (about 2,300 Americans are reported missing each day). No evidence of any lasting outcome, such as a change in a law as a result of the case, that indicates that this is any more than just a run-of-the-mill disappearance case. References are typical news reports or routine coverage; not indicative of this case being any more notable. Bneu2013 (talk) 05:37, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete- There's nothing special about this case. Sure, its tragic, but nothing out of the ordinary. The media always digs up cold cases in hopes that there will be a new lead (and I think that's a good thing). However, we can't have an article on every crime or disappearance that been featured on America's Most Wanted or the Investigation Discovery channel. It easy to say that there's been recent coverage, but you have to look at the context of that coverage. It's routine, its not as if there has been new developments in the case or its considered the crime of century.--Rusf10 (talk) 05:11, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also WP:BLP1E should apply too because technically we don't know for a fact that she is dead.--Rusf10 (talk) 05:17, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Missing person's case of local interest covered by all too common news stories: "Still missing XX years later...", "In Memoriam...", etc. Saying this coverage is anything, but periodical and routine is ignoring how the news generally functions and the lack of any actual substance to the case. We are not a database for missing persons and should not even try to be, especially when this is the product. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:00, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Except that sources are not local, she is discussed in considerable detail in a book by Clifford L. Linedecker (a journalist and author of quite a few true crime books in the 1980s and 90s who can certainly support an article,) the book was published by a major New Yorrk house (Macmillan Publishers (United States)). She is also discussed in several other books on crime. It is important not just to look at the description of the crime, but to assess the sourcing. E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:18, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Gregory you have to know by now that I look into your statements for accuracy. The book you are trying to pass off, Death of a Model, is about an entirely different person; Paige's case is noted for some similarities. As for the "several other books", this is the only one I found in a search that mentions her at any considerable length. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:41, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do me the courtesy of not twisting my words. I wrote that the book "discusses her in some detail", which it does, it is obviously about a different young woman. Book searches return varying results even when the same search term is used, this is just the way gBooks works. E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:45, 8 March 2018 (UTC) Revisit: other gBook hits appear to be trivial/routine.[ [User:E.M.Gregory|E.M.Gregory]] (talk) 16:31, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • At best you can describe it as a footnote. Five mentions of her name in a 277-page book? Please.

An object example of why it is so frustrating trying to sort these Somali place names which were created en masse. We have no coords, and the name we have doesn't give any hits. The UN document cited is not obtainable, so I cannot tell what it might have said. Geonames doesn't match it exactly, but it names a "Hero Caralei" which might be a different transliteration— except geonames says it's unverified, and you guessed it, there's nothing at the coordinates given.

@Enoch Gilbert: Please see WP:BASIC: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability." Reliable sources generally include newspapers, magazines, and other sources with editorial oversight (so we can be reasonably sure the information in them is true). See identifying reliable sources. Fan made websites such as this one, or other self-published sources, are not considered reliable. zoomaruba.com is a directory entry, neither reliable nor significant coverage. The St. Ignatius News appears to be an extremely local source. The Family Life magazine article you've added[38] appears to be the only source with any significant, independent coverage, but it looks like more like a human interest story: people usually don't get into encyclopedias because they take their family traveling. More sources of this caliber would allow for clearer indication of notability. If the Mrs. New Zealand pageant is notable, than there is a potential claim to notability. Quality sources are key. --Animalparty! (talk) 04:52, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Very redundant as it includes every game from the main List of PlayStation 4 games page and it only focuses on a trivial thing that is almost never (in 99% of cases) mentioned in the game's article itself.
