This article is mainly based on primary sources. The countries' interaction appears very minor and limited to diplomatic recognition. No embassies, state visits, agreements, significant migration or trade which typically add to notable relations. LibStar (talk) 23:38, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

DeleteIt is not remarkable. Embassies are not notable by nature and this one is nothing remarkable. The article on Spain–Suriname relations relations should mention the embassy, but a single sentence would suffice. 181.197.42.150 (talk) 04:09, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- This is not an embassy article, it appears you have misread this AfD. LibStar (talk) 06:18, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Couldn't find any additional sources, those in the article are insufficient, and the low level of relations does not convince me that more sources can be found. Toadspike [Talk] 22:07, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Nonnotable pastor. Lacking significant coverage. --Altenmann >talk 23:29, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. Presidents of notable colleges and universities are usually kept under WP:NACADEMIC criterion 6. Would Shelton College be considered such under the criterion? If so, there's a rationale for keeping. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:49, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- That guideline says
major academic institution
, not just "notable". Judging by our article on Shelton College, it's probably not "major". Toadspike [Talk] 22:02, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- That guideline says
- Delete – doesn't pass GNG, only seems to have an article for simply being a pastor, which is not notable in and of itself DimensionalFusion (talk · she/her) 11:49, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Not simply a pastor: "Murray served as a pastor until 1955, when he became president of Shelton College. He led the establishment of the Harvey Cedars Bible Conference in 1941, with the purchase of the historic Harvey Cedars Hotel. In 1960, he left Shelton to start a radio evangelism ministry, Bible Evangelism Inc.[1] Murray co-founded Clearwater Christian College during the early 1960s. In 1971, along with Allan MacRae, Murray founded Biblical Theological Seminary." as the article states, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:13, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. I don't see a consensus here. Some participants think the additional sources and resources brought to this discussion provide SIGCOV, others, especially those that participated in the first week, do not believe this is true. I don't think this is a situation that would be resolved by further relistings so I'm going to close this as No consensus. Editors are encouraged to bring some or all of these references to the article if this has not already been done and also start a talk page discussion if you believe the article should be renamed.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Not notable academic whose credentials do not verify, and for whom most of the claims in the text are uncited. Even if there were sources he would not pass notability. Somehow the original nomination has got mangled so I am doing a second nomination. Ldm1954 (talk) 19:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators and Canada. Ldm1954 (talk) 19:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- It is absolutely shocking that some ignorant (and perhaps ill intentioned) person is trying to delete the article about Canada's foremost expert on nuclear energy issues - who has worked for over 50 years to raise awareness of the risks of nuclear energy and nuclear waste. He is the most recognized activist on these issues in Canada and is in demand around the world as a speaker by groups fighting nuclear pollution. I'd be happy to provide many sources, but I'm completely unfamiliar with Wikipedia editing and would prefer to provide sources/background to an administrator. When the commenter above says "most of the claims in the text are uncited," he seems to be holding this article to a higher standard that hundreds of articles I've encountered (as a Wikipedia reader). When he says, "Even if there were sources he would not pass notability," he is revealing his profound ignorance about Dr. Edwards, his world-wide reputation and his life's work. What concerns me even more, though, is that there could be malicious intent here, trying to suppress the profile of a noted activist on a controversial topic. PLEASE - administrators, immediately look into what is going on here and put a stop to it if it is indeed malicious. Hundreds of Canadian activists are watching this closely and frankly, Wikipedia's credibility is on the line. PaceVerde (talk) 19:59, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- This topic should definitely not be deleted. Dr. Edwards is an expert in nuclear energy issues and has a worldwide reputation. He is an excellent speaker, is extremely knowledgeable and is in demand around the world for his expertise. He is a prominent Canadian who should be represented in Wikipedia. I agree with the previous post, that Wikipedia should be sure that there isn't a nefarious person trying to shut down the discussion about nuclear energy. 45.78.126.149 (talk) 23:01, 11 September 2024 (UTC)— 45.78.126.149 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Content copied over from earlier nomination: 'Hello, I am concerned about the designation of Gordon Edwards' article as an article for "deletion". I viewed of list of multiple recent edits to his article, which appear to be done by a possible 'bot'. Would an administrator please check whether this is the case or not?

- Comment For the closer: This "2nd nomination" was created because User:@Daffydavid: tagged the article for deletion, but (presumably) mistakenly started the discussion at the article's talk page. User:@Covingni:'s keep !vote (which was copied here already by Ldm1954) was the first edit to the "1st nomination" page. which is why there is a "2nd nomination." Daffydavid's rationale for placing the deletion tag was as follows:
The only reference attached that appears to be valid indicates the person to be unqualified. Daffydavid (talk) 10:33, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
and I would interpret this as a delete !vote for the purposes of this "2nd" nomination. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 01:31, 12 September 2024 (UTC) - Keep I found reliable sources about Edwards pretty quickly. I've added two to the article. I think this is more an issue of poor article quality and poor sourcing. Iggy pop goes the weasel (talk) 16:35, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- It is better, but there are still serious issues which it appears led to the original AfD by @Daffydavid. For instance, source [1] is used to verify that he is both President & co-founder of CCNR, but in fact it only states that he is President. While your sourcing is better, there are still too many unsourced claims and it remains very weak on SIGCOV. Ldm1954 (talk) 16:55, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Did you perform WP:BEFORE as requested in the AfD documentation? I did this myself and quickly found a number of reliable sources, though I haven't added all of them. Iggy pop goes the weasel (talk) 16:59, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: To me it does not matter if someone is pro- or anti- nuclear, QANON or a judge. The bar is the same and is in WP:N. That several WP:Single-purpose accounts make rude comments about Daffydavid or me is not going to change anything. As always, this is a discussion and proof of notability by reputable secondary sources is unconditionally required. This is of course at a higher level for living people. Just having a few mentions is not now and never has been enough. Maybe you can find enough, to date this page fails WP:PROVEIT by a long, long way.Ldm1954 (talk) 17:18, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- None of that matters to me either. But you didn't respond to my question above RE: WP:BEFORE. Did you perform it as per the steps in the AfD documentation? Iggy pop goes the weasel (talk) 17:32, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- You need to ask that of @Daffydavid since he made the nomination, albeit with a technical glitch as @GhostOfDanGurney indicates above (a best guess) -- but I do support the nomination. @Daffydavid clearly tried to improve it then gave up, I see no indication of ill-will on his part. I of course did the routine Google check, not finding enough for Wikipedia:Notability of a BLP. You can find the SIGCOV to prove me wrong, I never claim to be infallible. Ldm1954 (talk) 17:55, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Strange...in Wikipedia:Notability I find a whole subsection entitled: "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article." It points out that: "before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility that sources may still exist even if their search failed to uncover any." For this subject, there are ample sources that come up on a simple Google search including articles, quotes in mainstream media, guest appearances on major Canadian television and radio networks, etc. I am working on identifying the best ones to add and will do so as soon as possible. Please note Dr. Edwards is not a university professor and doesn't claim to be. He is an independent expert.

- Biographical articles about living or recently deceased people have a higher standard for meeting Notability and verification policies. Simple attestations of sources existing is not enough. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 23:22, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- PaceVerde - what you posted is accurate, but a few of us have already searched for Reliable Sources and come up a bit short. You're welcome to perform your own search and add sources to the article or to this discussion, but without satisfying minimal requirements the article will likely be deleted. You're invited to collaborate and improve the article to establish his notability according to our WP:BIO guidelines.Iggy pop goes the weasel (talk) 14:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- Thank you for confirming you performed WP:BEFORE. That was all I wanted to know. I admit to never having heard of Edwards until I saw this AfD, so my own searches are limited in scope. Iggy pop goes the weasel (talk) 14:40, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Delete per lack of SIGCOV in independent, reliable sources.I made a SA table for the sources presently in the article:
Source assessment table:
| ||||
Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
---|---|---|---|---|
https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2019/12/06/lake-huron-canada-radioactive-nuclear-waste/2622110001/ | Uses quotes from the subject, but the story is not at all about the subject, but rather the Canadian government potentially choosing a site on Lake Huron to store nuclear waste | ✘ No | ||

https://web.archive.org/web/20110706201716/http://sun4.vaniercollege.qc.ca/math/2faculty.htm | A faculty listing by an employer | self-posted by the employer | Simply lists the subject's name as a faculty member. | ✘ No |
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}. |
As this shows, the subject does not come close to meeting GNG. Using google, I found a couple of directories of articles he has written for The Hill Times and National Observer, as well as more articles similar to the one by Detroit Free Press in which he is quoted in his role as a scientist who advocates against nuclear power, but like Detroit Free Press, is not about the subject. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 00:10, 13 September 2024 (UTC) - !vote struck ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 04:16, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Appears to pass neither WP:PROF nor WP:GNG. I found a fair number of opinion pieces by him, but instead we need independent works about him, and I didn't find those. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:12, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
Deleteself-struck. See new !vote below - as a mathematician, does not meet WP:PROF. As an anti-nuclear campaigner, I thought he might meet WP:GNG, but like David Eppstein, I am coming up short of any independent coverage that covers him. Not sure if there is off wiki canvassing here for keep voters, but ultimately it is the sources that matter, and we don't have anything that meets GNG. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 7:37, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Keep- You are perhaps not very familiar with the Canadian media? Dr. Edwards is a Canadian and is known across the country as an independent expert on the nuclear industry. That is why his opinion pieces are published in prominent national publications like The Hill Times and the National Observer. That is why he was featured as one of the main guests/experts on not one, but two episodes of the national award-winning TV program The Nature of Things, hosted on our national Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) network by Dr. David Suzuki (perhaps you've heard of him?). One is The Friendly Atom, 1998 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpVgYrfSIAM, the other My Nuclear Neighbour, 2010 (looking for online link). On APTN News (Aboriginal Peoples television network) in 2019, a journalist introduced him as "probably the nuclear industry's most prominent critic in Canada" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW1CpAOr9HI (10min45). I do thank you for flagging the fact that his bio does not do justice to him. I am working to update and fill it out and will post new content and sources in the coming week or two. His short bio is also on the site of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Does that qualify as a source 'about' him? https://thebulletin.org/biography/gordon-edwards/ He has also provided invited testimony to legislative committees and expert sworn testimony (e.g. to the US Atomic Safety & Licensing Board, although mostly in Canada) about two dozen times. These date back to the 1970s and 1980s so the earlier examples do not have online sources (as far as I know). I believe I can footnote them without an online link, according to wikipedia guidelines? talk — Preceding undated by PaceVerde added 19:19, 15 September 2024 (UTC) Repeat vote.— PaceVerde (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Here you will find listed and hyperlinked 29 interviews with Gordon Edwards as an expert commentator on the subject of the Fukushima accident. https://www.ccnr.org/index_fuk.html That's just on one topic. You may not be familiar with Canadian media, but these interviews are on Canada-AM, CTV and CBC News - it doesn't get any higher profile than that in Canadian national news coverage.
- On this page https://www.ccnr.org/index_A-V.html you will find well over 100 links to video and audio files including Gordon Edwards' in-person presentations as a guest speaker, media interviews - again, in Canada's top national media, webinars, and a presentation at the United Nations (side event to the 17th Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doKmZmIF6ms - where Dr. Edwards was one of two invited non-Indigenous speakers on a panel with 5 First Nations Chiefs and Grand Chiefs.
- Please, for us novices, explain "significant coverage"? PaceVerde (talk) 19:14, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Please, for us novices, explain "significant coverage"?
Have a read of Wikipedia:Notability. A key section here is the one headeded General notability guideline which explains that:
Significant coverageA topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:01, 16 September 2024 (UTC)- Thank you, that's very helpful. So it sounds like someone being repeatedly interviewed in major media for their expertise/commentary would be significant evidence of their notability. PaceVerde (talk) 15:26, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Interviews are not independent. It is the subject talking, and talking about himself is a primary source too. But the reason for the interview might be indicative of notability. If he approaches an organisation and offers talking points, maybe not - because that is again not independent - but if a major news network approaches him for comment, then the question is: why did they approach him? In particular, if he has been written about as an expert, they might approach him for that reason. But then, the source we need that demonstrates notability is the independent person who has written about him and his expertise. It was this kind of source I could not find. But if there are such sources, then I would change my view. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:37, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, but that last statement makes little sense - if the person was approached repeatedly by the media for comment, then clearly the media had a reason to do so, especially on national television (they don't just pick names from a hat). The existence of the hundred plus media interviews and documentaries with the person is in itself proof of notability. PaceVerde (talk) 23:50, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- So what I was saying is that often, as you say, someone is picked for interview based on established expertise. But not always, in fact. But assuming he was picked for his expertise, what we need to see here is the basis for that establishment of expertise. Why did they think he was an expert? What has been written about him? Where is he discussed? When they picked him as an expert, what was their basis for thinking he was an expert? That is what we need to see. Do you have those sources?

- Delete (note: searching works better on "gordon edwards nuclear" - that eliminates others with the same name. "Scientist" doesn't narrow it down to him.) He doesn't meet NPROF; there are few articles in G-Scholar and they are hardly cited. I don't think we can consider him as an author - he wrote some (many?) opinion pieces but I don't see proof that he became a kind of "opinion celebrity". The most that I can find is the student newspaper The Gateway, which has a handful of paragraphs about a talk that he gave. That doesn't really count as being "about" him. I can change my mind if some folks find other sources. Lamona (talk) 20:27, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- What about the sources I cited above? (In my reply to Ghost of Dan Gurney.) The 29 interviews on national television about the Fukushima accident alone? And over 100 video and audio files of media interviews, public speaking engagements, press conferences, panel discussions and webinars in which he is a featured speaker and commentator? Please look at those, I have provided the web pages above where you will find all these links. Clearly he is a 'go-to' commentator on nuclear energy, or as you put it, an "opinion celebrity". PaceVerde (talk) 23:46, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Here is an additional source 'about' Dr. Edwards: https://raven-research.org/dr-gordon-edwards-in-nb-to-talk-about-nuclear-energy/ This is on the website of a university-based research project, based at the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The project was funded for 5 years by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), a research granting agency of Canada's federal government. PaceVerde (talk) 01:16, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note to closer - I note that the week is up today and this is due for closing. I have voted delete and remain unconvinced sources will be found, but I note the active attempts by new user PaceVerde to understand Wikipedia notability and to demonstrate notability. As the learning curve is steep, perhaps we can give this another week to see if they are able to find any suitable secondary sources. They are clearly familiar with the subject, and if anyone can find what is needed, it will be them, but they will need to understand what is required first. Thanks. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:09, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, much appreciated. Yes, additional time is needed to confirm sources, understand the policies and make the changes. I also note that there is no consensus in this discussion. I hope there will be when edits have been completed. PaceVerde (talk) 14:46, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- The no consensus close was disruptive editing by an account created today. I have reverted it. We will need an experienced closer for this AfD owing to the high level of disruptive activity. It would be a pity if we had to request page protection for it as it would prevent you from taking part, so I would make a plea to other SPAs to leave this alone and let the process work.

- Request Can someone more experienced than I evaluate the sources PaceVerde has provided here in their various comments? They seem to be mostly interviews, which I think are probably considered primary. But if that many organizations are interviewing him about Nuclear Energy then it's hard to see how he is non-notable in that field. It's a bit too complex for me. Iggy pop goes the weasel (talk) 15:34, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Weak delete with a possible alternative to deletion being redirection to Anti-nuclear movement in Canada. (Note that the organization Edwards heads does not have its own article). I see a start towards GNG (or perhaps WP:NPROF C7), but it surely looks short of WP:SIGCOV. Disclosing that this article came back to my attention (after earlier seeing on delsort) as a result of the disruptive close by SPA. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 17:21, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- A comment before this closes -- I am undertaking a source analysis and have also found some promising new sources myself, which I will post in full in the next few hours, if any closers can wait a bit. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 22:16, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- I've undertaken an expanded source assessment below addressing the newer sources linked in the article and this discussion, as well as some I found myself.
Source assessment table:
| ||||
Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
---|---|---|---|---|
Canada might put its most dangerous nuclear wastes on shores of Lake Huron | three quotes from Edwards but the sole content about him is "Gordon Edwards, president of the nonprofit Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility, based in Montreal" | ✘ No | ||
Nuclear waste questions continue to multiple | ? This may be a press release from Environment North, who are hosting one of his lectures for their annual meeting | Full article is coverage of Edwards' lecture tour and background | ? Unknown | |
CEGEP Vanier College, Mathematics Department Faculty list | This is excellent as verification of his role but since it's just his name on a list, definitly not sigcov | ✘ No | ||
1974 Nuclear Debate : G Edwards vs E Teller (TV 48m) | An interview with Edwards can't be coverage of Edwards, though it sure suggests cultural prominence | ✘ No | ||

Expert weighs in on nuclear power | Student newspapers are I believe considered reliable for events on campus | 533 words solely focused on Edwards' background and talk | ✔ Yes | |
The Friendly Atom | appears to just interview Edwards (though I didn't watch the full documentary to see if it also has secondary discussion about him) | ✘ No | ||
Nuclear Courtship | Primarily interview with Edwards, but does have a few minutes about him as introduction, including recapping the debate with Teller evaluated above (which is framed as a historically notable event) | ✘ No | ||
Dr. Gordon Edwards in NB to talk about nuclear energy | ? Not sure if the host of the event can count as independent for coverage of the event | Not convinced a research org's blog really counts | ✘ No | |
There is more than one Dr. Gordon Edwards | ? Appears to be a letter to the editor | A very fun piece from a different, pro-nuclear Gordon Edwards, seemingly annoyed by prior coverage of this article's Edwards | ? Unknown | |
Nuclear watchdog's views to be heard at forums | 248 words solely focused on Edwards' upcoming talks and his background, e.g., "The forums are to feature retired mathematics professor and media personality Gordon Edwards, who is currently president of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility. The 82-year-old Edwards obtained his PhD from Queen's University in the 1970s. He has been speaking about the potential perils of the nuclear industry for several decades." | ✔ Yes | ||
Two small communities are competing to receive Canada’s inventory of nuclear waste | Edwards gets three quotes as an expert here, but the coverage is not of him | ✘ No | ||

The people versus nuclear power: public participation in the energy debate ]interview with Gordon Edwards, chairman, Canadian coalition for nuclear responsibility], in the scholarly journal Perception, vol 2, 1979 | ? I can't access the full article, but by its title appears to be non-sigcov since it's an interview... though my gosh, having a featured interview in a printed scholarly journal is much rarer than getting a soundbite in a news article, and seems like a sign people are taking note of him. Likely also some biographical coverage as introduction here. | ? Unknown | ||
Nukes, climate change are both threats, say activists | two quotes from Edwards but not really sigcov of him | ✘ No | ||
Dirty Secrets of Nuclear Power in an Era of Climate Change (book) | ? Edwards is quoted for the epigraph of ch 3 on Nuclear Waste, and he and his ideas get about three paragraphs of discussion in that paragraph, plus one more in ch 4 on Nuclear Proliferation. But in the scale of a whole book that's not so much (ie no chapter just on him) and much of the focus is on his ideas rather than background. | ? Unknown | ||
Burying nuclear waste, exposing nuclear authority: Canada's nuclear waste disposal concept and expert -lay discourse, 2008 dissertation | ? Cites Edwards 14 different times with small bits of discussion. The citations are all about him rather than about nuclear power, but each is just a sentence or two. | ? Unknown | ||
Profoundly Misunderstood: Nuclear Energy in Ontario, 1940s – 1980s, 2024 dissertation | ? Three sentences in a whole dissertation probably isn't enough for sigcov, but it did seem promising to find it there. The full discussion of Edwards is "The CCNR, the largest
anti-nuclear organization in Canada, was chaired by Dr. Gordon Edwards, who participated as an expert witness and prominent participant in the Royal Commission. Edwards oversaw every opposition submission to the Royal Commission, which will be discussed below. When cross-examined by AECL lawyers toward the end of the process, Edwards admitted every anti-nuclear submission was neither information nor public information but propaganda 'in the non-pejorative sense.'" |

- I am personally persuaded of a keep here. There is a lot of borderline coverage, which starts to add up when it is considered as a body of forty years of expert quotations and mentions; I am particularly tantalized by how many dissertations make nods to him (more than just the ones I evaluate above). But the clincher for me is the 1989 profile of him in the Montreal Gazette as a notable resident; in conjunction with the coverage of some of his lectures and events (such as "Nuclear watchdog's views to be heard at forums"), I see GNG for him as an activist. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:08, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

- Could be relevant to the comment above suggesting WP:NPROF. It includes his detailed bio (as of 1975). Also if one is considering his notability as an academic (college professor), he earned a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship (1961) - is that considered a "highly prestigious academic award or honor" (national or international)? According to WP:NPROF, that alone qualifies as notable. PaceVerde (talk) 17:05, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nothing that Edwards is co-author of will be relevant to the deletion discussion, for the same reason that interviews are not relevant: Wikipedia articles are based on what other people say about him. If there are any reviews of his publications, however, those would be relevant. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 08:30, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I'm honoring an informal request to relist this discussion. Just an aside, positing conspiracy theories or speculating on some "nefarious person" serves to undermine the speaker's position and are, by and large, ignored by experienced editors who would be reviewing this AFD discussion. Focus on Wikipedia's standards of notability and whether reliable sources providing SIGCOV exist, either in the article or brought into this discussion. Right now though, a majority of participants are arguing for Deletion so those editors wanting to Keep this article would be wise to spend their time looking for better sources.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:12, 18 September 2024 (UTC)- Re your comment that "a majority of participants are arguing for Deletion," I count 8 keeps in this discussion. Three of them are near the top in a reply and two comments copied from an earlier nomination. Those individuals seemed not familiar with the convention of stating "Keep" at the start of one's comment, but they are clearly for keeping. At the moment I see 4 deletes and one weak delete. I am aware this is not a vote as per guidelines. PaceVerde (talk) 17:22, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: I mean, we have confirmation of the Nuclear Responsibility group and he's written articles [2], but nothing about this person. I don't see notability. Oaktree b (talk) 00:04, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- I found several new sources in ProQuest, included in my source table above: I would describe several of them as being about him, especially the profile in the Montreal Gazette. Does your assessment include those? I only ask because I’m concerned I didn’t make my finds clear enough. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 02:58, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: There's an Entymologist (bug scientist) with some coverage [3], but it doesn't appear to be this person. Oaktree b (talk) 00:10, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment - I'm persuaded enough by LEvalyn's expanded SA table to strike my delete !vote, but will stop short of changing my !vote to keep as I cannot verify the sources on ProQuest myself. Am now neutral. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 04:16, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - I have struck my delete above having reviewed the source analysis by LEvalyn above. I think it is still marginal, but I think the range of these sources is sufficient to take this over the line. My specific comments are as follows (I am just going to treat the sources as numbered from 1-19 in the table rather than duplicate the table, and I will not mention sources where we both agree they don't add to notability):
- Source 2: I agree with you that this looks like it is off a press release so not independent.
- Source 6: Edwards came to the student campus and this is the student newspaper report of it. The article is long, but what i actually says about Edwards as background is just “Dr Gordon Edwards, an expert on nuclear energy and the President of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility,” which is pretty much off his website. I don’t think this is significant coverage about Edwards
- Sources 11&13: Local press, articles as you describe them A lot of people will take these asis. I tend to be a little sceptical, but the range of local press across more than one locality is worth noting.
- Source 16: This open access book does not appear to be independent. It says: "Gordon Edwards, quoted at the start of this chapter and whose work substantially informed this chapter, is President of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility." (page 23)
- Source 17: PhD thesis. I couldn’t find the coverage as I was only getting a preview. This may be a good one. Where it talks about Edwards, is this information from which a page could be written? The thesis does not have to be about him, but to be significant coverage, it must discuss Edwards, so that we have something the article could be written from. This is a definite maybe.
- Source 18: MA dissertation. We usually only use PhDs, although, to be honest, I have some issues with that, as our standards are much lower when it comes to other things - but I won’t sidetrack onto that. You already had it as questionable, and it remains so.
- Source 19: Agree. This one counts.
- So all in all, there is one that I clearly agree on, one source that may also be very good. We need multiple sources to pass GNG, but my feeling is that given one clear one, and the range of the others, I don't think there is a clear case for deleting this article. Note, however, that the title is wrong. He is a mathematician, not a scientist (as per the amusing source among others). He is notable for heading up his campaign, and not for being a scientist. A page move would be in order after the AfD closes to a title that corrects that. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 16:21, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for weighing in in such detail; you’ve given this AfD a lot of careful and generous attention. I think your enumerated concerns are fair except for the book, which really looks independent to me. Saying that Edward’s’ work substantially informed a chapter strikes me as scholar-speak for “Edwards is influential and I read a lot of his writing” not “I personally know or ever spoke to Edwards”. Edwards is not thanked in the acknowledgments nor is he quoted from anything but public sources so I would be surprised to learn he was involved with the book. (But, the source may still not be solid for GNG since he’s proportionately a small part of the book…)
- I agree that “scientist” is wrong. I think “anti-nuclear activist” would be most accurate to how the sources refer to him, even during the period that he was also a math teacher. But I’m neutral on what the new title should be. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 17:08, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- (activist) should suffice as disambiguation. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 18:45, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Not swayed by the sources in the last table above; marginal sources one and all. If we had at least ONE decent story in a RS about this guy I might be ok with a weak keep, I'm just not seeing enough coverage to show notability. Still a !delete from me. Oaktree b (talk) 16:54, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: He comes up in newspaper articles in the 70s and 80s [4], [5], [6], bu they're just him speaking about xyz subject in the field, attending a conference or talking about it. Oaktree b (talk) 16:58, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Also note in the new SA, the article "Nuclear waste questions continue to multiple" is not a press release, it is a guest column in a newspaper, The Chronicle-Journal (Thunder Bay, Ontario), author identified as a climatologist with Lakehead University who is also vice-president on the board of directors of Environment North, a charitable organization. The fact it is published in a daily newspaper with a significant circulation and owned by a known newspaper publisher makes it independent. That would now make 4 independent, reliable sources about Edwards in the SA. [User:PaceVerde|PaceVerde]] (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 18:16, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Just FYI, I will be getting to edits and additions of sources soon. There's a lot of work in double-checking and formatting correctly the source information, especially for 1970s to 1990s sources. PaceVerde (talk) 19:09, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - LEvalyn's work up above is persuasive enough for me, showing four reliable sources which cover him in enough detail. Others considered reliable but not necessarily with significant detail can be used for verification of facts. If kept, I'd recommend a move to note him as an activist, as that seems to be really what he's most known for. - The literary leader of the age ✉ 03:13, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Sins of the Shovel. This is how I read the consensus of this discussion. If an editor can work on improving the book article, that would be ideal. If the author creates other notable work, this decision can be revisited. Liz Read! Talk! 23:53, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Delete, not yet notable under WP:NAUTHOR (only one book) or WP:NPROF (too early career, doesn't meet any of the criteria). -- asilvering (talk) 22:18, 11 September 2024 (UTC)- @Asilvering: I don't think WP:NAUTHOR says anything about more than one book being required? – Joe (talk) 09:14, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- When an author only has one book, and all the coverage is about the book and not biographical coverage of the author, it's the book that's notable, not the author. If you want to argue that she's a notable author for having written the "significant or well-known work", Sins of the Shovel... well, I can't stop you, but I don't think that's a good argument. -- asilvering (talk) 12:06, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's not exactly my argument. It's an explicit SNG (WP:NAUTHOR, emphasis added:
[...] a significant or well-known work or collective body of work
). Whether you frame it an article on the author or an article on the book, the content is the same, making it rather inconsequential which one is the 'notable' entity. – Joe (talk) 12:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- Yes, essentially. Per WP:BLP1E, it would be better in this circumstance to cover the notable material in an article on the book. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:45, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I don't object to his outcome; I think the content would be basically the same. My preference is still for keeping this title, though, since it doesn't really matter either way and a) that it is what the original author of this article chose and b) it's quite likely the subject will write more books. – Joe (talk) 11:23, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- @Russ Woodroofe: There is no article on the book. Are you proposing that we move this article to being about it? – Joe (talk) 09:15, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. If the book is notable (amply demonstrated by the sources cited in the article), then so is the author per WP:NAUTHOR#3. Whether we cover them separately, together under the author's name, or together under the book's title is inconsequential. – Joe (talk) 09:14, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- That is not consensus. The author must be standalone notable as well. I've never seen that statement at Afd in more than 10 years. They are many many famous books where the author is virtually unknown, even in the modern period. They don't like the limelight, don't give interviews or readings or go to conferences or conventions. They are unknown and by any defintion they would fail WP:SIGCOV. scope_creepTalk 10:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- WP:NAUTHOR has wide consensus and has been stable for years. It reads:
This guideline applies to authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, and other creative professionals. Such a person is notable if [... t]he person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series).
- The subject of this article has written a significant work, Sins of the Shovel: Looting, Murder, and the Evolution of American Archaeology, which has been the subject of at least six independent reviews in periodicals (cited in the article). Hence, they meet WP:NAUTHOR.
- I alluded to the logic behind this above: if we can write an article on a book, we can write an article on its author – even if the content is just
John Smith is the author of Notable Book, a [remainder based on significant coverage of the book]
. Whether to call this article "John Smith" or "Notable Book" barely affects the content and is a question of article titling and framing rather than notability or deletion. – Joe (talk) 11:22, 13 September 2024 (UTC)- I know what it reads and what it means. I've done 100's of book and author Afd's, over the years. I'm acutely aware of the policy. They are one of the most common article types that gets sent to Afd. The author must be notable on their own to have the article. Notability is not inherited. That is long-establised consensus. I could point to 1000's Afd's where the statement has been made, following established policy. The book is certainly notable, but the author isn't yet. You just have to look at how the industry is structured. If you followed They must be standalone notable. List of books review. By your logic every self-published author would have have an article on here. scope_creepTalk 11:42, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Scope creep, I think you're right about the outcome of AfDs, but I don't think that's an accurate conclusion about Joe's logic. Those self-published authors rarely get book reviews in reliable sources that would count for notability. Frankly, I think Joe's logic is perfectly correct (what does it matter if the article on a book is at the author's name or the book's title?), but it would be a really eccentric outcome for an AfD. -- asilvering (talk) 12:11, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think it would be strange outcome. I don't know what has changed in the 6 months-odd interim where I wasn't doing Afd. scope_creepTalk 12:33, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's quite a common outcome for academics, at least. A common objection to WP:NPROF is that it lets us have articles on people for whom there could be little or no biographical sources available. Which is true, but following the logic above it just means that the notable entity is John Smith's work not John Smith. But actually calling the article that would be dumb, so we don't do it. – Joe (talk) 12:43, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Odd that this long-established consensus followed in hundred of AfDs isn't written down anywhere, then, and that the notability guideline for authors explicitly contradicts it. – Joe (talk) 12:40, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- If you can find a handful of AfDs (or even one, honestly) for authors that have been kept on the grounds that an author has a single book with multiple reviews, I'd be very interested to see them. -- (talk) 13:36, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- asilvering, no specific AFD comes to mind right now but after closing hundreds (thousands?) of these discussions over the past 4 1/2 years, I'm sure that this has happened. There are authors, like Harper Lee, who, throughout most of her life, was notable for writing only onw book but it was a highly notable one. Also, many AFDs are sparsely attended and if there is a strong consensus that the book is notable and the reviews are prestigious, then it's likely that the article will be Kept. Liz Read! Talk! 19:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, Harper Lee is a good index case. I've used that exact example before when explaining to AfC submitters what kind of coverage one might need to be notable on a single book. (Though, obviously, she's rather extremely notable, so it's not exactly fair. Someone half as famous as Harper Lee is still going to pass any kind of AfD with flying colours.) This is an early career archaeologist with a well-reviewed book. They're very much not in the same league. -- asilvering (talk) 19:36, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think that WP:BLP1E and WP:BIO1E are the relevant standards. For example, Harper Lee has been covered enough to not be a low-profile individual, and her relationship with the book is well-documented and substantial, even though she was for a long time covered only in the context of the one book. Also, the To Kill A Mockingbird is such a significant book that it is worthwhile covering both author and book. None of the reasons to cover Harper Lee apply here, at least so far as I can see. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 17:25, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- I suspect the point of disagreement comes down to the interpretation of
significant or well-known work
in WP:NAUTHOR. Some seem to (reasonably) interpret that as meaning a work of literary significance, as with Harper Lee. For me, it is closer to the "significant" of WP:SIGCOV – just something that has been the subject of detailed coverage in independent reliable sources. – Joe (talk) 15:14, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

- asilvering, no specific AFD comes to mind right now but after closing hundreds (thousands?) of these discussions over the past 4 1/2 years, I'm sure that this has happened. There are authors, like Harper Lee, who, throughout most of her life, was notable for writing only onw book but it was a highly notable one. Also, many AFDs are sparsely attended and if there is a strong consensus that the book is notable and the reviews are prestigious, then it's likely that the article will be Kept. Liz Read! Talk! 19:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- If you can find a handful of AfDs (or even one, honestly) for authors that have been kept on the grounds that an author has a single book with multiple reviews, I'd be very interested to see them. -- (talk) 13:36, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Scope creep, I think you're right about the outcome of AfDs, but I don't think that's an accurate conclusion about Joe's logic. Those self-published authors rarely get book reviews in reliable sources that would count for notability. Frankly, I think Joe's logic is perfectly correct (what does it matter if the article on a book is at the author's name or the book's title?), but it would be a really eccentric outcome for an AfD. -- asilvering (talk) 12:11, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- I know what it reads and what it means. I've done 100's of book and author Afd's, over the years. I'm acutely aware of the policy. They are one of the most common article types that gets sent to Afd. The author must be notable on their own to have the article. Notability is not inherited. That is long-establised consensus. I could point to 1000's Afd's where the statement has been made, following established policy. The book is certainly notable, but the author isn't yet. You just have to look at how the industry is structured. If you followed They must be standalone notable. List of books review. By your logic every self-published author would have have an article on here. scope_creepTalk 11:42, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- That is not consensus. The author must be standalone notable as well. I've never seen that statement at Afd in more than 10 years. They are many many famous books where the author is virtually unknown, even in the modern period. They don't like the limelight, don't give interviews or readings or go to conferences or conventions. They are unknown and by any defintion they would fail WP:SIGCOV. scope_creepTalk 10:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to the book, our standard outcome for authors of only one book but one that is arguably notable. And while we're at it refocus the article on the book to say something about the book based on its published reviews instead of merely being a rehash of the author's back cover blurb, sourced only to that blurb. As for the argument above over whether authoring one book should be enough for the author to also be notable: see WP:BIO1E. —David Eppstein (talk) 14:03, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. I find the suggestion that a book is notable but not the author bizarre outside of the exceptional cases that scope creep describes (e.g., ghostwriting cases), but I can't see that here; Morgan is happy to appear on scholarly podcasts, blog about careers, write for popular magazines, etc. She's also listed in various places for her contribution to particular digs etc., so she's hardly unknown. And remember that this is a particularly widely reviewed book. Not many academics or first-time authors can boast a lengthy review in the New York Times. WP:AUTHOR does not say (as pointed out) that multiple books are required, and WP:1E doesn't apply, as no one is claiming that Morgan is notable for her role in some event (e.g., for an archeologist, a particular discovery); the claim is that she's notable for her creative output. Josh Milburn (talk) 07:12, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Per the above discussion of the 'unorthodox' creation of the book article, we literally cannot delete this article. If the consensus is to go with the (bizarre, in my view) 'book not author' approach, a history merge would be necessary. Josh Milburn (talk) 07:16, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to the book. Notability is not WP:INHERITED. A book can be notable but that does not, in fact, imply its author is notabble for a page. For that we would need multiple reliable independent secondary sources, with significant coverage in each, of the author. That has not been shown to exist and I don't see it in searches, so redirect will serve the reader best. Searching on the author will then take the reader to their notable work, which includes some author biography. (Not much at present). Note that a redirect preserves page history, which should allay Josh Milburn's concerns above. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:11, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to Sins of the Shovel, with nothing preventing a future WP:SPINOUT. I find myself in this column because this stub article—as it stands now—reads like a résumé. I could find nary a personal detail in the sources, which without exception pertain to the book and not the author. What is lacking here today is inherent notability of the author apart from the book. In the recent Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jay Anson (closed as keep), if not for the subject having died and obituaries written about him, the article otherwise had the same rationale as here for redirection (I'm not even sure that "... played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work ..." applies to Anson the author specifically, or to others who were more directly involved in the backstory of The Amityville Horror, such as George Lutz (redirect) or William Weber ... but I digress).

The result was merge to Letts, Indiana. Liz Read! Talk! 23:09, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This is a bit of a puzzle, because the sources are contradictory as to whether this and Letts are the same place or not. The history of the county which is referred to by both articles, for example, says "As the Letts Corner State Bank has played an important part in the life of our subject, it may be of interest to note a few facts regarding this well known business institution," but the very next sentence begins, " The Letts State Bank was organized by Leroy A. Eckhart[.]" There's mention of a high school which is referred to various as the Letts high school and the Letts Corner high school— unless they are two institutions, which seems quite unlikely considering their proximity. The railroad station was always in Letts; the supposed location of Letts Corner shows no rail service. My inclination is to treat them as a single place but if someone can find something that clears this up otherwise that would be a big help. Mangoe (talk) 22:14, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment - Decatur County: Interim Report, Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, 1999. p. 85 writes "The village of Letts was laid out in September of 1882 by Joab Stout and others . It is situated in an area of rich farm land , and has therefore been a center for grain exportation . In 1868 Allen W. Letts built a store on what is now SR 3. The settlement that sprang up around this store was known as Lett's Corner . [...] After the completion of the Vernon , Greensburg & Rushville Railroad to the east of Letts Corner in 1880, the village grew in the direction of the tracks and was renamed simply Letts ."

This isn't an issue of "theres coverage for it" its that it is a definitional impossibility that conflicts with sports films and list of sports films. And it isn't something that can be fixed either by going through it and saying what is or is not a sports film based on sourcing because the whole thing is a failed exercise that cannot be undone. It's not even a split list as its contents contradict the other lists its supposedly split from. As an encyclopedia this article is so all over the place that while everyone here is debating Babe i'm noticing that according to it the top sports films of all time are Inside Out 2 and the entire Fast and the Furious series alongside the Dragon Ball anime.

- Keep: Meets Wp:NLIST (Sources covering that very topic exist, see GNews hits, for example) and can be considered a WP:SPLITLIST -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 21:31, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
So we need a definition for a sports film then (i always considered that t being about a sport event or training for a event) Babe (using this as example) is about babe training for a sheep dog trail then complete in the trail. Fanoflionking3 (talk) 21:32, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- The issue with the genre is that is vague and unspecific. As shown by the two links above, there is no obvious connection between what is and what isn't. This is why an editor above may laugh at the idea of Babe being a sports film, while other may not. We can have our own personal definitions, but as that's not categorizable, we can't say what is higher grossing than the other. If a film were specifically about baseball we might be able to have some sort of list, but that would be relatively fringe. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:42, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Somethings are clearly sports film (rockey for example), whiles others could be question (babe for example) using babe a done a sample of what we could do.Fanoflionking3 (talk) 22:17, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
We could do something like this, we do not need to every film just any witch someone question. Fanoflionking3 (talk) 22:39, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Rank | Film | Year | Worldwide gross | Ref | Sport(s) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Babe[a] | 1995 | $254,134,910 | [2] | Sheepdog trial |
- I think the talk page would be more appropriate for this, as the genre does not seem to be very specific, I don't think a list like this can be really be built on any foundation without some more strict details of what the genre may include. Andrzejbanas (talk) 22:46, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Notes
- Keep as a notable stand-alone list topic even though the list's current contents and approaches are garbage. The problem is defining a sports film as opposed to films that have sports in part, like considering Forrest Gump a sports film is WP:UNDUE. I do oppose the more complex and cross-categorization lists that are embedded in this list article per WP:NLIST since some just get plain indiscriminate. I would support a hard-ass culling of this list. Regardless, there are reliable sources talking about highest-grossing sports movies, so the scope is 100% tenable. We have to overcome the sloppiness of this draft. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 17:01, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think there being
reliable sources talking about highest-grossing sports movies
necessarily means thatthe scope is 100% tenable
. If those sources do not agree what counts as sports movies and what does not, there does not exist a consensus scope, but an equivocation. Do the sources actually agree on the scope in a way that makes for list criteria that are clear-cut and enforceable here? TompaDompa (talk) 17:42, 4 September 2024 (UTC)- Of course the scope is 100% tenable. The problem is with how to present the details. We definitely have reliable sources writing about the highest-grossing sports films. Do we see these sources naming Forrest Gump and Babe as sports films? Or is it certain editors being ridiculously and erroneously pedantic here? Furthermore, reliable sources are not published with Wikipedia suitability in mind. So can we find a way to work with their coverage? Other approaches here could be to avoid an overall list and instead have various embedded lists by sports (e.g., highest-grossing baseball films). Or we could redirect to just sports film and write some prose saying what has been identified as highest-grossing films in the sports genre and not commit to a table. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 19:44, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe we have different ideas about what it means for the scope to be tenable. If the best we can do is
redirect to just sports film and write some prose saying what has been identified as highest-grossing films in the sports genre and not commit to a table
, I would not consider the scope to be tenable. I would not even consider the scope to be tenable if we have toavoid an overall list
. I'm sure we can find somewhere on Wikipedia to include the words "highest-grossing sports film(s)" with some relevant content, but that's a much lower bar. TompaDompa (talk) 21:00, 4 September 2024 (UTC)- I think TompaDompa's suggestion might be best. Being the third...fourth...fifth highgest grossing sports film is not something commonly applied to any film as an achievement and would be unmeasurable. Being the highest grossing sports film of all time or something is something you could potentially cover. The rest is just numbers games that we can't apply as with even sourced material above, there appears to be no consensus to what is and what isn't considered a sports film from person to person.

- Comment I'll quote myself from roughly a year ago over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of highest-grossing films based on television series: It is plain to see that this article, as so many box office lists before it, was inspired by the only such list on Wikipedia that is actually of high quality: List of highest-grossing films (a WP:Featured list). The problem with the proliferation of these lists is that they are created without understanding what it is that makes that list work, and they often just copy the structure without considering whether it is appropriate for the newly-created list—or indeed, considering whether the new list should exist at all. The result is that we have a plethora of poorly maintained, straight-up bad lists with myriad problems including—mainly—sourcing issues. This is, well, churnalism—or I suppose online one would call it content farming. It is the assembly of pure WP:RAWDATA by way of WP:Original research at the whims of Wikipedia editors who have mined box office databases for the data and come up with a new angle from which to slice it more-or-less arbitrarily. It is a scourge.As for what should be done about this list, specifically, if it is to be kept in any form whatsoever (be it as a stand-alone article or as part of some other article) it categorically needs to be demonstrated that it is actually possible to have inclusion criteria that are
unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources
per WP:LISTCRITERIA, or in other words that there actually exists some kind of consensus among the sources about what belongs on the list and what does not. What we currently have fails the requirement from WP:LISTCRITERIA toAvoid original or arbitrary criteria that would synthesize a list that is not plainly verifiable in reliable sources.
That goes for a lot of these lists. TompaDompa (talk) 17:39, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. This is just a mirror of BoxOfficeMojo with some summaries ... that doesn't update as often. No effort to indicate when these statistics are captured or how out-of-date they might be. Or how they might compare across decades. And so the information is better kept at its source, and such an article offers no value. The inclusion criteria is between absurd and unenforced: there are silly entries (like *Babe*). But also entries for movies that haven't earned more than $10 million -- how could they possibly appear on any "highest-grossing" list? *Ben-Hur* for the "sport" of chariot racing? Come on. -- mikeblas (talk) 04:12, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I don't see what value this article provides to the reader either. Reflecting the comment above, it is impossible to keep up to date. The problem is effective sourcing is another problem. I don't see its value as a standalone article. scope_creepTalk 13:45, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

- I'm fully aware of the problems with the article. I created it during a time when I still had the impression, that fulfilling notability is not considered as important if the author is very well known. Egan's novel Schild's Ladder for example up until a few months back didn't even have a single reference and almost completely consisted of only plot summary. It still contains not even a single review (although I intend to add the one I've found for the german article soon). The same holds for "TAP". I only realized afterwards that it was because the articles were created in 2003 and 2007 respectively, when the guidelines in their current form probably didn't even exist yet. Afterwards, I tried to improve some articles already created, but didn't find much more to add to establish notatbility. Hence if the article gets deleted, I'm okay with that.

- Delete. Recent discussion suggests one of the two sources listed to be generally unreliable. Aviationwikiflight's discussion of the lack of secondary sources, coverage, and impact only reinforce this editor's position. Jtwhetten (talk) 18:22, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, for now. There seems to be 2 glaring problems here: effects and sources. As for effects, it is well known that the USSR covered up many aviation and aerospace disasters, not to mention Aeroflot planes were crashing what seemed to be every week, so it doesn't seem that important. However, the fact that it is the deadliest passenger aviation crash in Turkmenistan seems relevant enough to me to warrant the page staying. As for sources, the crash is listed on aircrashinfo, a popular aggregate source for plane crashes, and they helpfully list all of their sources where they got the crash info. As it turns out, the 2 sources cited in the article do not pop up in this reference list, so information about this crash must be somewhere in aircrashinfo's references. Thankfully, I found a few that cover this time period and are available in my university's library, so if I get the time I'm more than willing to see if I can find any more relevant information from a real source. If I hit a dead end, it's probably better for this to get deleted. But in the meantime, I'm willing to give it a shot. SouthernDude297 (talk) 21:41, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- I seriously doubt the sources listed would provide significant coverage of the event beyond a mere trivial passing mention. Per WP:GNG, sources should be secondary, meaning that the sources must provide analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis. If the sources do, I would be inclined to reconsider the nomination, but for now, you seem to be arguing that currently, the event isn't notable. And just because "Flight ___" was the deadliest in x country doesn't mean it should warrant a stand-alone article, unless it can meet the necessary requirements to have a stand-alone article.

The Zhejiang Normal University East Stadium has also been renovated. Its lawn looks very flat to the naked eye, but in fact it is high in the middle and low on both sides, with a slope of 0.3% to prevent water accumulation in the lawn during the rainy season. For this reason, the staff also used the satellite positioning system to ensure accuracy when laying the grass. According to the staff, the lamps used in the gymnasium and stadium of Jinhua Sports Center are the same as the "Big Lotus" main stadium of the Hangzhou Asian Games. These LED lamps have many advantages such as energy saving and environmental protection, low electricity bills, durability and long life, soft light without flicker, rich colors and many shapes."

Doing a Google search I cannot find more than a couple of papers where this unit is mentioned, and it is not part of any of the unit standards I can find.

- Keep One straightforward way to check for usage is to look at papers that cite a paper establishing a term, in this case "The rayleigh: interpretation of the unit in terms of column emission rate or apparent radiance expressed in SI units" [20]. Checking citing papers [21] gives a good long list, of which I checked the first 10. Of these, 8 make explicit use of the unit, and devote at least a short passage to defining it, so I think we are good. Of particular note is p. 22 of this thesis [22] which gives an in-depth definition that we should adapt for the article. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:45, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Clear evidence of significant coverage in sources linked above. In addition, editor discussions within the talk pages of the MOS lend validity to the notability of the subject, even if it is rather obscure and not an official SI unit. Jtwhetten (talk) 18:57, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I think we have to be very careful not to conflated how we consider SIGCOV for citations of academic articles compared to in news or similar. A good comparison should be how BLP are judged. The most definitive notability is when something becomes a generic, so is quoted without citation e.g. general relativity. Dropping down a level in physics (excluding HEP) I dont think anyone would question the notability of a paper with > 1000 citations, or > 100 in the first year or two.
- A Google search would show if Rayleigh has become a generic -- it has not.
- The original paper has 176 cites on Google Scholar since 1956. While relevant, that is not strong SIGCOV. It has 3 cites in 2023-2024. Note that not every paper that cites it will discuss the units.
- The second has 44 cites since 1974, certainly not particularly significant.
- The third has 58 since 1976, better but it also discusses an alternative definition so IMO is weaker.
- My interpretation remains that this is not really a notable topic, and the wider community has not voted major support of the idea. If they had it would be a widely used generic unit. Just my opinion. Ldm1954 (talk) 13:31, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- N.B., I do not see the MOS discussion as supporting the notability, in fact the opposite. Ldm1954 (talk) 13:33, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- ...what. It's a scientific unit that is used in at least 50 peer-reviewed studies. That makes it easily notable enough for an article. You are operating on some very strange metrics here. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:57, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- I am being a rigorous physicist. A paper cited in 50 peer reviewed studies is not particularly notable, for instance in physics it would be counted but far more would be needed for tenure. For a BLP in physics (not HEP) a rough estimate is that their should be 50 papers all cited more than 50 times, i.e. an h-factor of 50. Perhaps compare to unconditionally notable terms such as the 1968 Ernst equation which is cited 1159 times, 1968 Broyden's method cited 3816 etc; there are many, many more. Ldm1954 (talk) 15:17, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- The argument as to whether the Rayleigh is generic is curious. A review of linked pages provides multiple references using the unit in the generic sense (i.e. without citation/explanation). Refer to [23], [24], and [25]. The pages using these sources do require editing to comply with MOS but that is another issue. Moreover, I think we would all agree this is a very niche topic, and so it is appropriate to expect a certain amount of difficulty in finding numerous RS to satisfy SIGCOV.

- Keep: Draft picks are typically very well covered for professional sports leagues and are often considered a defining aspect of a player's career. Additionally, organization draft picks are typically discussed in a fashion that would meet WP:NLIST. I recognize the list isn't very large right now, but I believe it still meets NLIST and it will continue to grow so long as the league doesn't fold. As for manageability, that's certainly not a concern, as we actually have quite a few list of players drafted that make it to featured list status, 7 of which are for NHL team draft histories. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:57, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. The only other place for this would be on the Ottawa Charge article itself, and I can see this list as getting long and unwieldy over time. If the league doesn't last long, then I'd support merging the content, but in the meantime I don't think it's necessary. -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:14, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

fails WP:GNG, not covered in reliable sources independent of the subject. No WP:SUSTAINED coverage. Polygnotus (talk) 10:16, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople, Hinduism, Spirituality, California, Louisiana, and Missouri. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:44, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Subject received significant coverage by NPR, the Kansas City Star/Times, and the Kansas City Business Journal. The article also cites a 1952 book by Richard Fowler, Leaders in Our Town. Perception312 (talk) 15:23, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah that book is described as "The Inspiring Stories Of 116 Leaders In Our Town." and it is only 77 pages so I don't think that means much if anything. 1.5 inspiring stories per page! And the Kansas City Business Journal is physical spam. So what you have is a short article in a 1959 local newspaper and the NPR piece. Polygnotus (talk) 15:42, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

- What do you mean when you say that the Kansas City Business Journal is spam? Is American City Business Journals not a reputable publisher? Perception312 (talk) 16:02, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- We used to receive that kind of physical spam all the time back in the day, but then they made a law against it and now I never see it anymore. It provides hardhitting journalism such as "Bank parent promotes KC exec into new role", which is an article about the fact that someone got a promotion and not to forget "KC taco joint will get a new name", a breathtaking story about the time a local taco shop changed its name. Riveting. Polygnotus (talk) 16:37, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- I added this source, America's Alternative Religions, which twice mentions the subject in relation to the religious movement he was a leader of. Perception312 (talk) 21:12, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah one of those mentions is his name listed in the index of the book. And the other mention is
Leadership of the SRF was taken up by James J. Lynn, who after taking sannyasa was known as Rajarsi Janakananda. He served as president of the SRF from 1952 until his death in 1955.
So that source does nothing for notability. Polygnotus (talk) 04:51, 19 September 2024 (UTC)- As indicated by the index and the reference, the second mention is on page 184:
Probably Yogananda's greatest financial benefactor was James J. Lynn, a self-educated farmboy from Louisiana who ... became a very wealthy businessman. He often testified that he suffered from "nervousness" before he discovered kriya yoga.
In summary, the subject is notable for funding and leading the NRM started by Yogananda. Perception312 (talk) 13:55, 19 September 2024 (UTC)- What we need is WP:INDEPTH WP:SUSTAINED coverage in WP:RELIABLE sources that are WP:INDEPENDENT of the subject. A sentence or 2 is not enough. Polygnotus (talk) 13:59, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Here we go: "Embodying the Civilizational Connection: Yogananda and Saint Lynn", a detailed section in Chapter 2 of a newly published book, Golden States: How California Religion Went from Cautionary Tale to Global Brand by Eileen Luhr. It starts on page 92. Thank you for spurring me to find this excellent source. It will take me some time to read it and add it to the article, but now we have at least three independent sources that cover the subject in detail: NPR, Kansas City news articles, and Eileen Luhr. Perception312 (talk) 15:00, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Perception312: I skimmed it and that looks like a much better source! Also google her name, she has written other stuff that may be of interest to you. I don't really think that a very old newspaper article, or physical spam, or half a page in a book "counts" (in the context of GNG), but this source certainly does.

- Delete doesn't meet WP:NMMA (or WP:GNG), as he ranked #65 in the world according to fight matrix. Lekkha Moun (talk) 07:50, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Clearly fails to meet WP:NMMA. My search for sources found databases, fight announcements, and results--all of which are typical for any pro fighter. In addition, most of the references are from sources that are either deemed not reliable (like sportskeeda) or not independent (particularly One FC's articles). His ranking is probably overstated at fightmatrix since it lists 4 Russian fighters named Murad Ramazanov, all with non-overlapping fight records (which probably explains the one fight in 5 years gap in the main fighter's records). Counting the fights in the gap he no longer has his long unbeaten string or 12-2 professional record, because fightmatrix shows a 2-3 records for those "other" fighters with the same name. Papaursa (talk) 15:54, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- None of the Murad Ramazanov's are the same person, that region of Russia has many guys who share the same last names or first names, it's like Viet people and the last name Nguyen. There are pictures of the other Ramazanov's in tapology and sherdog, showing it's not the same Murad in PFL, especially since he has a distinctive look.

- Redirect to IIT Delhi. It's kind of a nice article, but it just doesn't meet WP:NORG or WP:GNG. As @4.37.252.50 points out the history will still be there if sources emerge later.All the inline cites are from primary or non-independent sources (i.e., IIT) other than the Business Standard article which doesn't mention the library. Three papers that were added do seem to move us some way forward but on closer inspection fall considerably short of the line:
- DESIDOC Journal of Library & Information Technology seems to be from a non-predatory journal (at least it's on this list which claims to exclude predatory journals. It's significant coverage of the library. BUT it's written by two librarians at IIT.
- Journal of Information and Knowledge is maybe from a non-predatory journal but it is more about a piece of software AND it's co-written by an IIT librarian
- UCL article is about a visit to UCL by a representative of IIT and seems to be based on an interview. It's maybe good as a cumulative article where there was one longer piece of SIGCOV and some multiple shorter independent sources like this, but it's not enough on its own.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Notability is not inherited, and this article is entirely sourced to tangential trivial mentions in articles about Pack.PNG and Herobrine. However the Minecraft@Home team is not independently notable or GNG-passing. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Video games-related deletion discussions. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Neutral – I am left a bit confused by the sources. It is unclear to me whether Minecraft@Home is the name of the group of people who are undertaking these projects, or whether it is merely the name of the tool they have developed to make their discoveries. If it's the former, then this would be a good little article, but if it's the latter then I don't think it works. Regardless, the sources are giving very scant information about the people who made these discoveries happen, which is really sad... ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 09:26, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I had a feeling for a while the group could possibly be notable and I was willing to be patient, but after closer examination of the sources, I'm agreeing with Zx here. As for the confusing regarding what it is, this article is very poorly put together, and was even weaker when it was first made, so it makes sense why Maplestrip was confused. But it is in-fact a group, and I was at one point part of it. I don't know if that means I have a COI or not due to the group's nature but that shouldn't matter as I think the article should be deleted anyways. λ NegativeMP1 17:43, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Like NegativeMP1, I thought the sources cited here might demonstrate WP:SIGCOV as they are reliable secondary sources, but they never quite go beyond WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs. The group is already mentioned in the Herobrine article, appropriately briefly, and this article is very short anyway, so there would be no point in merging. Masskito (talk)
- Delete: I have to agree with the editors above. As of the latest revision by RNGHit where they removed 3 sources, here's how the sources could be put: Sources 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11 and 14 are not about Minecraft@Home and they are trivial mentions. Sources 3, 6, 7, 8 and 13 doesn't talk about it at all. 9 and 12 shouldn't be here. The only thing notable here is Pack.PNG, but even that would fail WP:SUSTAINED as can be seen on Draft:Pack.PNG. win8x (talking | spying) 22:52, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep and keep improving. I have removed a lot of the promotional language and extraneous biographical detail that appeared to be original research which is not allowed per WP:OR and WP:BLP. I have removed the "BBC" as a source as if you look at the actual archived page, it cites Wikipedia as its main source (!). I have also removed the Opera Magazine and Musical Times quotes for now until someone actually finds the actual sources for those. But given the length of her career and number of recordings, there are a wealth of reviews which are easy to find via Wikipedia Library, ProQuest, etc. which satisfy WP:BASIC and WP:CREATIVE (notable body of work), arguably WP:NMUSIC (prominent in early music scene), and probably WP:GNG (she did give a lot of interviews over the years so it will take a while to sift through the to find the "best" that also includes objective third-party interpretation rather than straight Q&A "take what she says on face value")...I've added the Gramophone review referenced above, as well as an excerpt from the The New York Times. This article could still use more work...but there is plenty of "colour" here about this bold and distinctive performer, like in this 1993 review in the Vancouver Sun.

His fightmatrix rankings are strange. The article mentions his drawn catchweight fight against Kojima--Kojima was the #1 flyweight and Taitano was the #71 bantanweight. A two round fight sounds more like an exhibition. Taitano's next fight was against an unranked fighter and fightmatrix had Taitano as the #8 flyweight, apparently ignoring the fact his ranking was from a fight where he was a bantamweight against a smaller opponent.

- Keep per WP:BASIC and WP:HEY. Have expanded article and added more sources. There is enough WP:SUSTAINED coverage over time, including her 2006 performance after winning an anthem idol competition at age 13 and her long track record as a child singer in Lindsay, Ontario, prior to her big break on the national stage in 2017 as the first Indigenous singer in Canada to be cast by the Canadian Opera Company, which was covered in Maclean's, Toronto Star , University of Toronto Quarterly, and others. Added a mention of her 2018 performance of an original work about the Mississaugas' creation story as well as review mentions in Opera Today on her portrayal of Sarah Riel in the Louis Riel opera, and opera critic John Gelks on her performance of an aria from La Cecchina at the Glenn Gould vocal showcase.

- Keep as per WP:HEY as the article has been significantly improved using multiple reliable sources since nomination as detailed above. Therefore deletion is no longer necessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:33, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Withdrawing per WP:HEY. Thanks to Cielquiparle for improving the article.4meter4 (talk) 02:43, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG. The only source she was mentioned was this. Aside that nothing else. The rest are just school profile while some of the source like the 4th one has nothing to show about than a home page of the site. Gabriel (……?) 01:52, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. The article calls her "a Fellow of the International Federation of Library Association (IFLA)". I cannot verify this and do not know what it means; maybe the IFLA/OCLC Early Career Development Fellowship? Honorary Fellows of IFLA [30] would be notable through WP:PROF#C3 but she is not listed there, so it must mean something different. The early career one would definitely not pass that criterion; it is a different meaning of fellowship. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:55, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- The biography has a lot of statements with no source to back them up. Which fails to meet WP:PROOF and could end up be a WP:NOR. Just checked the reference on ref 2 and it says 404 page not found. Gabriel (……?) 05:28, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Nothing to establish notability here. Fails WP:NACADEMIC, I can't even verify that she's a fellow of the claimed organisations. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:27, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Fails NPROF#3 and #6. Sources available cannot be used to satisfy GNG. Best, Reading of Beans 08:06, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: An article about a professor that doesn't meet WP:NPROF. Being a so-called Fellow of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions doesn't justify notability. The publications are very very poor, and can't be used to justify WP:NAUTHOR regardless. This list will tell you the lack of notability (former fellows). Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 05:04, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree with the above. University librarian is a position that does not confer automatic notability, WP:PROF notability is not evident, and there are serious verifiability issues here. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:23, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Spent a lot of time looking at the IFLA fellows/honor programs: spoiler, could not find her on any list of winners, so cannot verify most significant claim (may be a confusion of member w/ fellow). There are honorary fellows in the society, which I would call a WP:PROF#C3 pass, but she is not on that list. (We're not going to solve today a perennial discussion about whether librarians can qualify via WP:PROF; I think yes, but it doesn't matter here because she doesn't have that award). I think the IFLA Medal would also be a C3 pass. The Scroll of Appreciation and Early Career Fellowships should count towards notability, but are not C3-type/level awards themselves. But none of them can be verifiably applied to Dr. Obi. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 23:49, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
