Shaper/Mechanist universe[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unsourced and WP:OR. Little coverage of locations are found, therefore failing WP:GNG. Jontesta (talk) 23:51, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's sourced. The content is all from Schismatrix Plus. Notability may still be an issue. Dan Bloch (talk) 01:14, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep first and third entries in a default Google Scholar search are non-trivial academic works covering the fictional universe: a regrettable BEFORE failure. Jclemens (talk) 03:53, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jclemens Uh-huh. And how is this not a fork of the notable novel Schismatrix? The sources you good are very good - for discussing the novel. No need to fork the plot into a subarticle. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:24, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: per Jclemens' sources. Toughpigs (talk) 04:27, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Bruce Sterling per WP:ATD. While potentially notable, it requires a full rewrite and is not salvageable as-is. It appears to be entirely plot. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:09, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Zxcvbnm Better redirect target is Schismatrix... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:26, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Schismatrix - It seems like most of the content of the article in regards to the fictional elements is already covered on the main book's article. Additionally, it looks like the the book's article already also covers the "Schismatrix Plus" reprint, which collected the entirety of the series, including the five short stories that led up to it. It looks like the only thing really missing at that article is the names of those five short stories, so a light Merge to add that information is probably needed. But, as it stands, this article is kind of duplicative to the information found at the book's title, and its very likely that someone searching for information on the series would be searching using the book's name, not "Shaper/Mechanist Universe". Rorshacma (talk) 19:59, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep: I've been tossing up between keep and redirect, and I've decided on keep, if more secondary sources, such as reviews, can be added to make the article less WP:OR. This article, and all articles in general, should be written up as information sourced from many citations, not just from the book itself. If said new secondary sources can't or haven't been added, then I will argue for redirect, or delete. —Mjks28 (talk) 08:11, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mjks28 Just wanted to ping you regarding what I myself missed when I commented here the first time - that we already have an article on Schismatrix. The novel is notable, but its universe? Doubtful. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:25, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the universe's notability is questionable, but as I do not know anything about Bruce Sterling, or his works, I cannot say whether or not it is influential to many people. Because of this, I just look at the attributes of the article, such as the lack of sources and overall feeling of plot summary. I am leaning more towards redirect for this article, as the universe seems to only exist in one novel and five short stories, and could easily just be a section in the Schismatrix article. That being said, if this universe is considered notable, and more secondary citations are added, then I think the article should be kept. Mjks28 (talk) 13:35, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect for now, since the article is a pure plot summary, but I'd be happy to revise my vote to keep IF anyone actually improves the article during this AfD (feel free to ping me). And of course no prejudice to this being restored from redirect into an article if such an improvement is done at a later date. That said, per my comment above, I don't see how the sources found justify the existence of this article separately from Schismatrix. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:22, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per nomination.

Not only is this WP:JUSTAVOTE, it also makes no sense considering the nomination is to delete this. Rorshacma (talk) 01:02, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Mjks28. This doesn't meet WP:SIGCOV even with some of the suggested sources. As an WP:ATD, this can be a section in the Schismatrix article. Shooterwalker (talk) 11:04, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck[edit]

Fails WP:NOTA AND WP:GNG BryceM2001 (talk) 21:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article could have a better career section, but I have heard about Dr Vandyck outside of WP for her academic career, and believe from this that she is notable. Probably meets WP:NACADEMIC at least if someone can collect sources on her publications. Kingsif (talk) 21:57, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: There are a number of sources about the subject, but all centre around (what they see as) her unusual name. Vandyck's research has not yet made significant impact in her discipline to meet WP:NACADEMIC. All in all WP:TOOSOON. – Ploni^💬 00:06, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed that most articles focus on her name in some way, but there are other Wikipedia articles with that kind of focus, like Place names considered unusual. Not sure why coverage for that aspect would be necessarily less legitimate. Benny White (talk) 02:09, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Meets WP:BASIC and I don't think the exclusions apply. There are many reliable sources. Most are from the same timeframe (2019), but not all. One that is currently included in the article is from 2009. Benny White (talk) 02:09, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and lightly merge to Naming in the United States. I'm seeing a single source from 2009, and a flurry of sources from 2019, all human interest stories about the unusual name. This looks like a WP:BLP1E to me. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:03, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per WP:BLP1E, all coverage is a single point in time about her getting a PhD. No pass of WP:Prof and no pass of GNG. --hroest 17:07, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Article is notable in my opinion, but could benefit from more sources. Mjks28 (talk) 05:26, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems like many good sources with significant coverage from 2019-2020. There is also a in-depth article from 2009. I think this establishes enough notability to keep the article. – notwally (talk) 23:59, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and merge. BLP1E strongly applies here, and the subject does not meet any NPROF criteria. However, there is significant coverage in 2009, surrounding her name, that could be merged. Considering how often two sources with 3–4 sentences of routine, often non-independent or non-RS,[4][5] transfer coverage each, or even merely the unevidenced presumption that such sources exist,[6] [7] pass as "GNG" for athletes,[8] it's only fair that the far more extensive biographical coverage here would count for something.

List of recurring Orange Is the New Black characters[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article has been mostly unsourced since its creation eight years ago. Some of it is cited to Twitter and Instagram, plus three sources that tell us that one of the characters is inspired by Martha Stewart. This fails WP:GNG (and is a fork of the equally badly sourced article List of Orange Is the New Black characters). Jontesta (talk) 23:40, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements, Television, and Lists. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 02:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify moved unilaterally to main space when unready. I think the subject might potentially have some notability, but the article is not written to show it, nor referenced to show it. Flagged as failing WP:GNG after arriving in mainspace by the editor who moved it to mainspace.

Draftify. New enough for this to be a reasonable choice, sources inadequate for current content, but with some possible case for notability (possibly through WP:PROF#C1). That criterion does not require depth of sourcing for notability itself, but it does not eliminate the need for all claims in our article to be properly sourced. In particular all claims of having invented or discovering something important should be backed up by reliable independent sources that verify those claims; his own publications are not adequate for that kind of claim. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:46, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Wizard Sniffer[edit]

The game was deproded with the rationale that it won awards, but this has no bearing on notability. It lacks significant coverage from reliable sources to justify and fill out a standalone article.

Keep The game won five XYZZY Awards and won two awards in the 2017 Interactive Fiction Competition, which are the two most notable competitions for this type of work, and thus distinguishes itself in its genre.

If the subject does not warrant its own article then redirect to Interactive_fiction#Notable_works to preserve history instead of deleting. --Bensin (talk) 21:26, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... and as for sources, I added the review in The Short Game, which adding to Sarah Laskow's and Lynda Clark's reviews, totals the number to three in addition to the three at the Interactive Fiction Database. No sources contradict eachother. --Bensin (talk) 22:15, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Short Game does not appear to be a reliable source. In fact it admits that it is fan run, with one person in the About Us being "the only person with any real credentials", something that is obvious even from a quick browse of the site. This is not the kind of sourcing we want on Wikipedia. The ability to tell whether a source is reliable is required, as well as being able to judge what topic needs an article, and your recent articles have been less than stellar. For example, Clue (information)? Wikipedia is not a dictionary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:20, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nor are the articles static. I can't see your username in the history of Clue (information). If you are certain you know its flaws you are welcome to add to it and improve it. The Short Game has made content for over 10 years, and has produced over 400 episodes which all appear to be around one hour each. If they lacked credentials in reviewing games when then started, one can hardly say they lack experience now. Their body of work makes them pretty much experts, and they are certainly more experts than any junior reviewer writing for a large media corporation. --Bensin (talk) 17:23, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Their body of work makes them experts" there are many unreliable sources with a large body of work listed at WP:Perennial sources such as the Daily Mail, being long-running does not really have a bearing on reliability. But even if we assumed it counted as SIGCOV, that's only one piece of SIGCOV which is insufficient to pass GNG.

I am not sure if there is anything to improve there as the concept of a "clue" is not notable. If you think it is, you offered no real proof in that regard. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:02, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You yourself considered Atlas Obscura to be SIGCOV, until I added the reference to The Short Game. Then you edited your statement above with an edit comment without rationale.[19] (It would have been better had you instead added a new post where you transparently stated that you had changed your mind and explained why, rather than editing an existing post to make it seem like that was your stance all along.) There's also the review by Lynda Clark. That makes three SIGCOV in addition to the rest of the sources, which all corroborate each other. Interactive fiction is a small art form and sources are inherently hard to come by, even for a game like this that won both of the two most prominent competitions for interactive fiction. If you still think sourcing is a problem, then I suggest you add {{Expert needed}} at the top of the article so it can be improved upon rather than deleted. Or request sources for any statement in the article that you think is unsourced and that a reader cannot verify and assess themselves (hint: there aren't any).

Regarding Clue (information) (a central concept in many games throughout history), feel free to improve it directly or point out weaknesses on that article's talk page. But that article is not relevant to this discussion here. --Bensin (talk) 13:59, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or redirect to Interactive_fiction#Notable_works as an alternative to deletion. I think it's just below notability. Atlas Obscura is a reliable source per WP:AOARTICLES and although Medium.com is generally unreliable per WP:MEDIUM, I think Clark qualifies as a "subject matter expert" since she is listed as "PhD Researcher in Interactive Fiction at Nottingham Trent University". Interactive Fiction Competition might be a notable award, but the fact it won doesn't alone count towards notability, it needs some coverage to go along with it. I just think two pieces of SIGCOV is not enough for notability. --Mika1h (talk) 23:42, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't follow. Is there a reason why you think there should not be a redirect from The Wizard Sniffer to Interactive fiction? If there is a redirect, the edit history is preserved and the article can be easily improved by anyone if new sources emerge. If the article is deleted, there's a risk that someone not familiar with the process of undeleting articles will start from scratch rather than building on what already exists. --Bensin (talk) 21:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm sorry Saqib; although I share with you that this article exists in a terrible condition and has a plenty of WP:OR, we can't deny the fact that it passes WP:ANYBIO and should be kept.

- Aafi, OK, I value your opinion, but I'd like to point out that the coverage in Nawaiwaqt is a column, an opinion piece, by guest columnist Aslam Lodhi and the coverage in the other sources is either routine or trivial mentions, none of which meet the GNG criteria. These sources can indeed be used for WP:V purposes but not suitable for establishing GNG, where the threshold is higher. Anyway, I don't have anything more to add on this. As for WP:ANYBIO, I've clarified my concerns above. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 08:07, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Saqib, thanks for adding these two cents. I did not say that these are enough for GNG but we have an established practice of SNGs and it is really not necessary that each and everything would pass GNG. Those that don't are finely evaluated by SNG practices of which ANYBIO is one. This subject has twice received a highest military award in their country and this is verified, and all that routine/minimal/short/whatever, information, is only helpful to support the claims. GNG is just impossible for everything, and as you say, nothing else needs to be said. If a thousand soldiers, authors or anyone else, pass any of our subjective criterias, it is really within our scope to have articles/short biographies of them created on this encyclopedia, or otherwise just collectively cancel all of these subjective criterias, if we don't want to. _signed,Aafi ^(talk) 09:22, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of common misconceptions[edit]

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Biting the bullet here and nominating this page for deletion a sixth time. My reasoning here is quite simple: this is not an appropriate topic for a list in the mainspace. Wikipedia is not a collection of trivia which this page plainly is. Each one of the listings is, at most, appropriate for a single line on their respective pages. The sources cited on this page are often low-quality, including television (1) shows (2), recipe aggregators like Allrecipes and Cookthink, Dotdash Meredith subsidiaries like Thoughtco (deprecated), random blogs including at least one Wordpress-hosted site, and mainly, blatant plagiarism from Snopes (actually, this whole article is practically Snopes Wikipedia-style.) Therefore I think this page should be deleted from the mainspace, and if it must be kept, then moved to the meta namespace ala Wikipedia:Unusual articles since it does serve an educational purpose. wound theology ◈ 19:10, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I favor cleaning up and removing misconceptions with weak references like the ones mentioned, but I strongly oppose deletion or moving it off the mainspace. The list is clearly valuable to users, doesn't seem to obviously contradict WP:SALAT, WP:ENCYCLOPEDIC or WP:NOTDIRECTORY and seems well within the scope of WP:NLIST. agucova (talk) 20:00, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I origianlly came to this article because I am a 40+ USAmerican and was linked from a tumblr post about incorrect "facts" about the world that we were taught as children. Most of these items on this list are indeed COMMON misconceptions in the US. Pre-internet (or even pre-google) it was NOT easy to find the truth about these misconceptions. they were considered common knowledge and encyclopedias did not have enough breadth of information to prove a negative.

I have read through all 6 nominations and arguments for/against deletion of this article and it appears that the delete voters by and large have the opinion that this information is not important enough to be collected while keep voters tend to agree that the article needs to be edited but is a valuable resource. I agree with the KEEPers. Many of the items in the article i did not even KNOW were misconceptions (oil is made from dinosaurs, carrots are good for vision, and diamonds not being coal are 3 quick examples). If you feel it is too US-centric, maybe add that to the title? If you feel it should not be on the main space, they could be a sub-article under urban legends? The suggested unusual articles category is inappropriate because specifically states that the "material is not to be taken seriously". that is precisely how many of these misconceptions were started (as jokes or tall tales) and what the article is trying to clear up.

Keep and add an entry for "This article is a plausible deletion candidate". Seriously though, the problem with this article is keeping it free of cruft. Everything listed there needs to reliably referenced as both a misconception, as being common and also have a relevant article linked that has some non-trivial coverage of the the misconception. Anything that doesn't fit those criteria can be removed. There is no case to delete the whole article.

At the risk of going off-topic here, agree that a big problem is preventing or eliminating cruft. Currently, the edit notice says "It is preferred to propose new items on the talk page first." but this is not a requirement. I have advocated making it a requirement, but did not achieve a consensus on the talk page for that. Interesting that an editor who has added dozens of entries over the past few weeks that are arguably "cruft" is here arguing for deletion.

Keep. Yes, this article has it's problems and could stand improvement. As one of the active editors for this page it is a constant task to keep it cruft free and make sure all the assertions are reliably sourced. I would welcome help with that. Despite the flaws, it's a useful compendium of things that are commonly believed that are false. As someone once said, "It's not what you don't know that's the problem, it's the things you think you know that aren't true." It's a valuable resource that should remain, and was once a ~~featured article~~ Wikipedia:Featured_list_candidates featured list candidate. Seeing how this article has been nominated for deletion five times in the past without success I find it odd that it has been nominated a sixth time. It's time to drop the stick. Seems like a WP:SNOW keep. Mr. Swordfish (talk) 00:09, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contrary to a common misconception, the page was never a featured article, with one of the issues cited as preventing it from being promoted being: ""common" needs to be defined clearly - i.e. what makes the list not wp:OR." Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 01:12, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier this year List of hobbies was deleted after a fourth nomination for many of the same reasons I nominated this page. wound theology ◈ 06:28, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The page requires OR to determine what is common, and what is a misconception, violating WP:LSC. The idea that RS could be deferred to is a common misconception for a few reasons:

Misconceptions cannot be "common", they must be "common among X". X is undefined, and excluding an entry in a local newspaper for saying "it's a common misconception that "local landmark"" is defining common, and isn't deferring to RS. The edge cases are common among world, among America, among Jews, among historians of whipped cream etc. Line drawing is defining common.
RS are not deferred to. The talk page is huge because editors want to exclude RS when they say something is a common misconception because they don't personally believe it's common. See literally two days ago.
"Current" is said to be implied from the title (according to an apparent consensus of what "common" is defined as), but isn't defined how to establish this. Seen in a dispute a few days ago, where it was argued if it was common in 1967 it is common now because people are "still alive".
RS will not always say "it's a common misconception that", "words to that effect" are used, which includes "contrary to popular belief", but also includes "many people believe" and "etymological urban legend". Evaluating whether "words to that effect" are met requires comparing to definition of common and misconception, which is the problem that led to the idea of deferring to RS in the first place.
An entry cannot be included as a misconception if it's not false, as it is not then a misconception. The way this is enforced is usually not something being factually wrong, but quibbling with definitions: that's not a misconception, it's... a misnomer (misnomers are a type of misconception), technical language vs common language dispute, abstraction of complex ideas and many many more. i.e., entries to "list of common misconceptions" which have RS saying they're a misconception, are being excluded because it doesn't fit editor's personal definitions of "misconception."

Some of these problems are fixable, others are not. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 01:04, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As an addendum, to support the position that the page is a list of trivia, the phrase "contrary to popular belief" has been identified in The Washington Post as a "journalism cliche... that we should avoid". Contrary to popular belief is widely regarded in the talk page as the most acceptable "words to that effect" for "common misconception". Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 01:09, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not appear to meet relevant notability guidelines and lacks non-trivial coverage from reliable publications. Steps were taken to locate said sources WP:BEFORE this nomination, but were not successful. Note that this article was previously nominated for deletion nearly a decade ago on September 2015, where there was limited discourse and the outcome was speedy keep.

Reviewing the history of this article, there also appears to be a running content dispute over the origin and application of this phrase. While this may be a plausible search term on the internet, I do not see valid sourcing to support this as an article or redirect on Wikipedia, hence my recommendation for deletion.

FairVote[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Although this article has existed for a long time, I believe it should be deleted for for reasons of notability and being promotional in nature.

The article recently came under scrutiny due to a COI discussion about the User:RRichie (who is probably Rob Richie of FairVote).

There are no sources on the page that can be used to establish notability. Most of them probably shouldn't be used on that page at all.
The page appears to have been created and maintained mostly by FairVote employees. This raises concerns about WP:PROMO
The article is in a bad state right now. There have been attempts to improve it, but I believe those will be unreasonably difficult, due to the continued involvement of FairVote employees. (See the "Vandalism" section of the article's talk page) Brilliand (talk) 15:21, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly oppose - the article has been chaotic due to what are alleged by supporters of the organization to be ideologically-based attacks, and by involvement by supporters of the organization who didn't seem to grasp our rules about COI, etc. But that does not change the fact that this is the best-known U.S. organization advocating for IRV and related reforms. Problems with the article do not change the topic's notability. (Full disclosure: I've been a supporter of this organization for decades.) --Orange Mike | Talk 17:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- New year's eve fireworks: More churnalism based on press releases.
- The Times doesn't even reference this company, it's an editorial generically talking about "the vets" in Britain as an industry sector.
- KPTV is sponsored content (read down to the bottom) and thus not independent.
- DVM 360, Community Impact, Pet Age, and ABC6: coverage of new location openings and thus ineligible under WP:ORGTRIV.
- Spectrum News 1, Tampa Beacon, WFTS Tampa Bay: local news and thus of questionable value for WP:NCORP per WP:AUD.

Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability.

this provides an in depth look at Segal's political views and places them in the context of Israeli right wing media, and indicates notability beyond Israeli media
this is a lengthy, in-depth interview dedicated to Segal, in Israel's highest circulation mainstream newspaper. This alone satisfies WP:SIGCOV.

I think you are misreading the defintion of "independent" - ""Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent."- an interview with Segal is not produced by him but by the paper and journalist interviewing him.

Regardless, while the DW article includes a very short quote from Segal, it is neither an interview nor focused on that quote. Instead, it describes the controversy Segal was involved with, with other 3rd parties commenting about Segal. Kentucky Rain24 (talk) 17:04, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can find no significant coverage in independent reliable sources that are about a plush toy known as "Paper Duck". The article has as three references. Reference #1 is about a Tiktok trend of making paper ducks, and is not about a plush toy, nor does it even mention a plush toy. Reference #2 is a youtube video showing how to fold an origami duck and is not at all about a plush toy. Reference #2 is not accessible to me, but I highly doubt that an academic paper from 2001 about beetles published in the Australian Journal of Entomology would be about a plush duck toy. The only relation that paper would have to a duck would be that the surname of one of the authors is "Duck". It looks to me like the article's creator simply googled "Paper Duck" and slapped three of the results that showed up as references without actually evaluating the references. -- Whpq (talk) 14:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the article creator was just mistaken in using the term "plush toy", possibly English isn't their first language. I corrected it to "paper doll" - the copyvio image they illustrated the article with (which has since been removed) did seem to be the same paper cutout as in the TikTok article, I think that's the only possible subject in question here. Belbury (talk) 15:42, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Whpq: out of interest, have you found a copy of the paper cited in reference #2? Looking at volume 40(4), the page numbers don't line up, it hasn't been published in the previous edition or volume, and I'm suspecting more of a hoax reference. Mdann52 (talk) 15:02, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It may be a hoax reference, or it may be a real paper, but I doubt very much that if it were a real paper, the contents of the paper would be of any relevance to this article given the other two references. -- Whpq (talk) 15:12, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI. I've posted a request at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request#Australian Journal of Entomology to see if anybody might have access. -- Whpq (talk) 15:18, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the result is in. There is no such paper. It is a hoax reference. -- Whpq (talk) 15:53, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd guess that an AI hallucinated it, given the article creator's otherwise low level of English fluency. Which would also explain the "plush toy" thing.

I agree with you that more sources should be added, maybe also an infobox to sum everything up since it's a pretty long article. However I could find multiple reputable sources with a quick google search such as articles by the University of the Punjab, the Pakistan Perspective, the United Service Institution of India, and a book titled Murree Rebellion of 1857 by Barnabas Crist Bal. I think it's important that we expand on this article instead of deleting a piece of history. Thomas Preuss Harrison (talk) 18:57, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes the article needs improvement but the event recorded was not an insignificant one in the context of the chaotic developments of 1857. Saul David's 2002 history The Indian Mutiny records the concern expressed by Sir John Lawrence as "disaffection and mutiny spread" during August of that year and that this included the Muslim tribal unrest in the Murree Hills. Buistr (talk) 07:32, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Poor, unreliable sources and many fails verification. Some of these unreliable sources are WP:RAJ era and primary sources. The event was not significant and if reliable sources with coverage is to be found, it can very well be merged to Indian Rebellion of 1857. RangersRus (talk) 13:40, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Murree#History. As noted by source #3 in the current article, ...Murree had played a small and insignificant role [in the Indian rebellion of 1857, and goes on to detail minor disorganized skirmishes. This seems appropriate to mention in the location's history as its local, minor participation in a major historical event (and it already is mentioned there), but it doesn't seem to be DUE for more than a sentence at Indian rebellion of 1857 and currently isn't mentioned there at all. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 14:13, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect to Stock exchange: This can be discussed topic in a broader article, which should be easier to navigate for users anyway. Only one of the papers focuses specifically on stock markets in smaller countries, and none of them appear to be important enough to have inline citations in the article. Even if sourcing is improved, WP: TNT is relevant, and there would need to be a very compelling reason why this is easier to navigate than putting it in the main Stock exchange article.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:
A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:
1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

Speedy Keep: WP:CSK#3. Those three articles are obviously about different topics. Li Keqiang Government refers only to the composition of the State Council of the People's Republic of China after the 12th (2013-2018) and 13th (2018-2023) National People's Congress. China under Xi Jinping covers the socio-political governance and influence of China during Xi's chairmanship, which extends past 2023 as Xi remains Chairman after the 14th National People's Congress. The subject article is about the Fifth Generations of Chinese leadership, which is a common term coined for categorizing distinct periods of communist leaderships and inherited from the Hu–Wen Administration. In other words, the article is about political institutions of China during the combined rule of Xi and Li from the period 2013-2023, which discusses the distribution and swift of power between Xi and Li during their governance. A simple BEFORE already shows the broad usage and actual meaning of this term, and the nominator (once again) did not provide a deletion rationale grounded in Wikipedia guidelines. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:47, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Li Keqiang Government is the Central People's Government of China from 15 March 2013, when Premier Li Keqiang took office, until March 2023, while Xi Jinping–Li Keqiang Administration is the administration of China from 2013 to 2023. Both articles list the State Council members, and do little else; it's not obvious that the articles should not be merged. (I agree that China under Xi Jinping is clearly very different). Walsh90210 (talk) 01:39, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Walsh90210: Not really, they are quite distinctive. The key difference is that the subject article includes details about the distribution of power between Xi and Li, which Li Keqiang Government would and should not cover. Another distinction is that the discussion/analysis of this term usually focuses on the power shift from a more equally distributed structure to one more heavily leaning towards Xi, as well as the conflicts between Xi and Li's policies and governance. This is clearly differentiated from Li Keqiang government again, which solely covers the administrative structure of the State Council. Rather than a merge, this article requires an expansion. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 05:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Qiu Shi Science and Technology Prize[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article from 2012 tagged for speedy deletion 12 years later as unambiguous advertising (criterion G11). The article does contain some promotional language (e.g. "The Qiu Shi Foundation was named after the famous Qiu Shi Academy" and "Cha was best known for his industrial prowess, building a multinational textile conglomerate.") but this is mostly a stub article on a Chinese research prize where there are some examples of the awards being newsworthy, see e.g. [37]. However, while the awards have made it into some news articles, I am unable to determine the independence or reliability of these sources, and none of them are cited in the current article. The sources I have found are also much more about the person receiving the award than the award itself. While the promotional language is not severe enough for it to warrant a speedy deletion, I am bringing it to AFD and recommending delete. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:08, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  The article notes: "A chemist from mainland China has won a major Hong Kong science prize for his leading global research in the field of bio-inspired nano-materials, highlighting China’s pledge to become an innovation hub in its own right. Jiang Lei received a grant of one million yuan (US$150,000) as winner of the Qiu Shi outstanding scientist award at a ceremony on Saturday night at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, Anhui province. ... The prestigious Qiu Shi annual awards – qiu shi means “quest for truth” – was established by the late Hong Kong industrialist and philanthropist Cha Chi-ming, father of Payson Cha Mou-sing, in 1994 and features Nobel laureate Yang Zhenning on its judging panel. Previous Qiu Shi Award winners include Tu Youyou, who went on to receive the Nobel Prize in medicine for the discovery of artemisinin, saving millions of lives from malaria; Pan Jianwei, who later led the launch of the world’s first quantum satellite; and Zhang Yitang, who proved a theorem that had eluded mathematicians for more than a century. This year, in addition to the main prize, 12 outstanding young scientists were each awarded a US$90,000 grant, over three years, in recognition of their returning to China, with all their scientific potential, after overseas education or employment. ... This year, the number of recipients of the outstanding young scientist prize grew from 10 to 12, in line with the foundation’s aim of luring more talent back to China."

Cunard (talk) 10:21, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Cunard did a very thorough search of sources. However, I found the nominator's main concern is that many of the sources are about the award ceremonies and awardees, rather than the award itself. While the South China Morning Post and People's Daily sources provided by Cunard are indeed about the award itself, The Beijing News and China Daily sources seem to fall under what the nominator would consider as non-independent sources. Therefore, I found two additional sources from Guang Ming Daily[38] and Ta Kung Pao[39] which documented the founding of the award, and I believe these should be adequate to address the nominator's concerns. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 15:04, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't anything that contributes to his wikinotability on Google Books as far as I can see. Current coverage appears to be largely of the arrest warrant, so if there should be a standalone article, it should be of the event rather than his biography, but I'm not sure about that as well. Unless an editor demonstrates its notability through WP:NEVENT, it may be considered routine news coverage.

If they are not, obviously Keep because it has an enormous amount of coverage, but if (given what the Reliable Sources Noticeboard says about unreported sponsored business content in Indian news) we just use the non-Indian business news sources, I think it likely has to be a Delete because I don't see many of those.

I'm glad you also included the information at Moyie River, but I don't think this should be included here or that it justifies this article. This is not significant coverage, it just identifies the place, which is the border crossing area. They have 199 locations where water was tested, and this primary source data isn't the sort of thing that belongs in the articles of each sampling site. The border crossing article should certainly mention it's along the river though. Reywas92^Talk 15:12, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article describes social concerns about the exposure of drag to children as "hysteria," "moral panic," and "extremism." Regardless of whether one might be inclined to agree with such statements, there is not sufficient evidence to call one side of a very polarized political divide "hysterical." This article thus claims a seriously contested assertion to be fact, something which has a strong prohibition on it in WP:VOICE. JustAPoliticsNerd (talk) 02:41, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This article describes a well-documented phenomenon involving opposition to drag. The nomination disputes the article title and characterization of the phenomenon, which is a valid discussion but not a reason to delete the entire page. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 03:14, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do agree that the general theme of writing about "opposition to drag" or something along those lines could be done neutrally, though this would take such substantial rewriting that it may be better to start from scratch, or incorporate elements of this page into a "criticism" or similarly titled section on the article about drag. JustAPoliticsNerd (talk) 03:54, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am not taking a position on whether the characterization should be changed. If it were to be changed, only the first sentence would need substantial rewriting; the rest of the article mostly describes protests and events. The word "panic" only appears 7 times in the article (besides the title) and only once outside the lead. If there is a consensus that the terms are non-neutral (the consensus doesn't exist now), what is wrong with renaming the article to, for example, "Protests against drag" and removing the terms in the first sentence? Helpful Raccoon (talk) 04:37, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the outcome of this AfD is Keep, I strongly agree with the Helpful Racoon's proposal, and I think a move discussion should be started to move the page to a more neutral name. However, I will still maintain my Delete !vote. Félix An (talk) 05:11, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Off-topic, but after a bit of thought I believe "Anti-drag movement" might be an appropriate title if "Drag panic" is found to be non-neutral. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 05:34, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as by above: subject is clearly notable, and arguments about article quality, POV, or title are irrelevant.

Also, consensus for the article name already exists on the talk page: Talk:Drag_panic#Move_to_"Criticism_of_drag". Complaints about that should follow the requested moves process, not the AFD process, and should be done there.

See the statement of Daniel Rigal in the linked discussion. Further discussion of this should be done at the talk page. Mrfoogles (talk) 07:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the name stems from its use it reliable sources, as opposed to Fox News (see WP:FOXNEWSPOLITICS). The fact that a large number of reliable sources refer to it in this way is sufficient evidence that it's reasonable to characterize it that way. Mrfoogles (talk) 08:03, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article is pretty notable and it points out the opposition of drag, hence the name "drag panic" which is a moral panic. Obviously, the article is a bit opposed rather than neutral, but it doesn't mean the article should be up for deletion, it's just need a cleanup from various WikiProjects that are involved in it. Please know the editor is still new to this, remember it's a privilege to edit on Wikipedia. Now, for the name of article, @Félix An requested to rename the article to "criticism of drag" in which I disagreed, because no one else calls it that. Although, other editors from that discussion pointed out it's "overly broad" or "would be a completely different topic" since the article is about the opposition of drag. With the name not being suitable for the article, I do agree with @Helpful Raccoon's proposal to rename it "anti-drag movement". If the outcome is keep, it just need a cleanup and a name change so it doesn't be opposed and stays neutral. — JuanGLP (talk/contribs) 14:50, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I could find very little coverage about this dance. The article was PRODed in 2022 with the rationale being it is indistinct from square dance, but this is not clear due to the lack of coverage.

Just making it up.

The school’s official website is suspected to be a website built by the editor.
The school emblem and school song are suspected to be composed by the editor. The entry states that the school song from 2024 will be "People from No. 3 Middle School Pursuing the Other Sun" and the audio file is uploaded. However, according to [1], the school song in March 2024 will be "Brilliant Talents Grow in Lixiang".
The chapter "School History" is completely inconsistent with [2] "Lingcheng No. 3 Middle School was founded in November 2001 and was renamed Lingshan County Lingcheng No. 3 Middle School in December 2011."
The school motto "Inspiring students to study hard and pursue excellence" should be "Study diligently and achieve excellence" ([3]), and the philosophy "Let students be admitted to good high schools and make students become obedient and good children" should be "education with ideals" To realize the ideal of education” ([4])
"Internet Censorship" is an entire chapter of original research and fictitious reference materials. The ISBN of "Research and Reference on the Militarized Management of Education in Guangxi" is found to be a Chinese textbook for the first volume of ninth grade.
User:鸡景行 also translated the entries into English Wiki and Cantonese Wiki.

Delete. Keeping it is out of the question. Google finds no reviews, no interviews, no box office, nothing - fails WP:GNG with knobs on. There isn't even a reliable source to establish cast members or release date. I find a monochrome movie poster (VHS box? idk) that names the production company and five members of the crew but no cast and no year. There is no way to write a "reasonably balanced article" without sources. Redirecting to List of Hindi films of 1977 isn't an option. There's no reliable source that confirms it even belongs in that list. I find a movie poster (VHS box? idk) that names five members of the crew but none of the cast or the release date. Without support that entry will be removed sooner or later, the proposed redirect will then redirect to a page that doesn't mention the topic, and we'll waste some time at WP:RfD disposing of an ill-considered redirect.

Our rule is that a subject can qualify for a separate article if sources exist in the real world, even if none are cited in the article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:03, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I am aware. However, if you continue reading through that guideline, you’ll find more info - specifically regarding whether editors can find sources elsewhere. I’ve done a search through sources that I know of, and through search engines, and can’t find any sources whatsoever. As per that guideline, that seriously casts into question the notability of the article. Danners430 (talk) 18:08, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This is contextless data with no indication of importance or discussion as a group in secondary sources; as such, it fails WP:NLIST. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I found a book source which I think is enough to establish the topic's notability. Smith, Paul; Smith, Shirley (2014). British Rail departmental locomotives 1948-1968 : includes depots and stabling points. Hersham: Ian Allan Publishing. p. 96. ISBN 978-0-7110-3800-4. OCLC 897871236. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 10:21, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTSTATS and WP:NLIST. These statistics are not given any context or meaning. Eastmain above fails to distinguish between departmental locomotives as a whole (we already have British Rail departmental locomotives) and eastern region departmental locomotives. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:30, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Switching to Merge with British Rail departmental locomotives in the interest of developing a consensus. I'd rather we have one of these list articles than three, that's for sure. There is no reason I can see to have separate list articles when one will do. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:32, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – there is a whole chapter devoted to this subject in volume 10A of Locomotives of the LNER. I have added this source as a reference to the article, along with one for each main section. I don't mind expanding it to one citation for each loco, but it a fair amount of work, and it would be a waste of my time is the article is deleted...

The source also states the location the locos were used at.

This is also part of a series of three articles – the second covers the Southern Region and the third every other region. — Iain Bell (talk) 10:45, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why do we need a series? These are just lists, and British Rail departmental locomotives could easily hold the entire contents of this article if people think it's worth including in the encyclopedia. Splitting them up seems arbitrary and not particularly helpful. We don't need three articles where one would do. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:08, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - First and foremost, I concur with Eastmain that sources exist to demonstrate notability, and two of these sources have been integrated into the article as of time of nomination. By definition, GNG is satisfied. Being said, looking at WP:NVEHICLE, this subject falls somewhere between the "type" and "subtype" categories in my view, and leans towards the "subtype" classification, falling under the "type" of British Rail departmental locomotives. Beyond functioning as a quasi-"list of" article, prose in this article focus predominantly on the history and numbering structure, which would substantively improve British Rail departmental locomotives. Ergo, I !vote that the article be merged and redirected to a subsection of that article. Ultimately, I will also cite ease of navigation as a factor to consider here. The linking between these articles, especially without the 'British railway locomotives and miscellany, 1948 to present' navbox on some mobile platforms, makes information unnecessarily segmented across articles. Condensing and combining content here seems the best course of action. Bgv. (talk) 09:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Jimmy Merchant, the author, per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. I did not find significant coverage about the book in my searches for sources.
A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow editors to selectively merge any content that can be reliably sourced to the target article. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow the redirect to be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future.

  The editorial notes: "You might not have heard of the Oregon Battle of the Books, but for kids from 37 public and private schools in Deschutes County, it’s a big deal, and it’s coming up soon. ... Students across the state get lists of books geared to the competition’s three divisions, third through fifth grades, sixth through eighth grades and high school. There are 16 books on each of the lists for the younger two groups, and a dozen on the one for high schools. ...

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Oregon Battle of the Books to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
Cunard (talk) 09:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience says:
The source's audience must also be considered. Significant coverage in media with an international, national, or at least regional audience (e.g., the biggest daily newspaper in any US state) is a strong indication of notability. Attention solely from local media (e.g., the weekly newspaper for a small town), or media of limited interest and circulation (e.g., a newsletter exclusively for people with a very unusual job), is not an indication of notability. At least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary.
The Oregonian and The Register-Guard are the largest and second largest newspapers in the American state of Oregon. These two sources, which provide significant coverage about the subject, meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience. Cunard (talk) 09:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep. The stub cites reviews in The Guardian and The Sunday Times, as well as the Theatricalia listing. Here and Here are more mentions. The V&A Museum even has a feature about the play and its costumes. This play was written well before the internet existed, so most of the sources would be print sources. The play had a starry cast led by Vanessa Redgrave. I disagree with the nominator. It clearly meets WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. If we want to fill out the stub to its full potential, someone will have to go to the library and get all the 1971 sources. From what I can see, it has an interesting background: Olivier commissioned the play for the Old Vic, but funding was not sufficient, so it played at the Young Vic. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:39, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I've got 1971 reviews from The Daily Telegraph and the Birmingham Post. Combined with the existing reviews, this demonstrates notability for the play. Toughpigs (talk) 03:37, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
