Not enough in-depth coverage from reliable sources to pass WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 23:08, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no distinct rule about bootlegs being ineligible for articles. See WP:UNRELEASED which says that an unreleased album (including a bootleg) can be notable if it has received reliable media coverage. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:15, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Covered in sources and "is perhaps the most bootlegged black metal release of all time". Pikavoom Talk 07:56, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The article can be improved with better sources from the world of books, and it looks like there are few sources only if you do a standard Internet search. Do a Google Books search and you will find the album discussed extensively in many music history books, such as [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], among others. It got coverage largely for its cover featuring a real dead body (that's why the WP infobox has no image), but it's still coverage, and the album is considered an important entry in early black metal. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:50, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for sharing those sources, I've integrated them into the article as well as some of my own that I found. LaunchOctopus (talk) 18:20, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural Note - Back in 2008, this album survived a previous AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dawn of the Black Hearts, when the title of the article was slightly different (a "The" was missing). That is probably why the notice about multiple AfDs does not appear here. Admittedly, notability rules were more lenient back then. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:12, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. What if we just merge with the band's article? Then we can have good info and reliable sources about this bootleg album without necessarily making it have its own article. Would that be a good compromise?SirZPthundergod9001 (talk) 05:26, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I've added several more sources, and this is a notable release in the subgenre and historical scene. LaunchOctopus (talk) 18:20, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Per WP:NMUSIC not meeting the criteria does not mean the article must be deleted. I agree that the guidelines in this case are only borderline due to the coverage being trivial and not meeting standard notability guidelines. However I do not see sufficient reason in this particular example to warrant deletion of the article. This is a rare case of me applying WP:IGNORE - I think deleting this article does not improve Wikipedia and so the official guidelines should be ignored. The sources are trivial, however there is enough of them that I am satisfied this article has cause to remain. Such-change47 (talk) 06:29, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article created by an editor with a (declared) COI.

We really need to hash out a specific higher threshold for crime/disappearance articles, because while they inevitably create a little burst of news coverage when they happen (if it bleeds, it leads), they almost never have any lasting coverage or impact.

    • None of those references meet WP:ORGIND as they are either based on a company announcement or based on an interview. All of the information originates from company sources.

  • Delete WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "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. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria. They are either standard business listings or short articles based on an "announcement" by the company - all of the articles I can find are within the company's echo chamber and I have been unable to find any "Independent Content" as per ORGIND. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 17:04, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, Meets WP:NCORP Matrixport is mentioned, discussed or featured in a number of RS sources (including Forbes, Fortune, Bloomberg News and Crowdfund insider) - these articles do not appear to me to be simply republishing press releases. Deathlibrarian (talk) 08:49, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hi Deathlibrarian, you've mentioned a number of publications - for example Forbes, written by a staff member, which you say is more than a republished press release. Perhaps you could point to the part of that article which meets the WP:ORGIND section of WP:CORPDEPTH, in particular, the part I quoted above about "Independent Content"? Much obliged, thank you. HighKing++ 18:17, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, there's quite a few - In this Swissinfo article, the second part of the article is some commentary on the company This article - discusses Matrixport's fund raising, and how its the company is valued at more than $1 billion This Bloomberg article discusses Matrixport being spun off Bitmain, and goes into the financial details - This Nikkei Asia article discusses cryptocurrency in Singapore, and Matrixport is discussed as part of that, this article, the first half relates to a press release, but the second part discusses the origins of Matrixport. There's others. These aren't just simple re-releases of press releases, or straight interviews, they are staff written commentary discussing Matrixport (sometimes mixed with information from a press release, which there is of course nothing wrong with). In addition, the first part of this Forbes article appears to be related to a press release, but the second part appears to be staff written commentary about the company. Overall, the commentary here in this RS for this company clearly goes beyond "Trivial or incidental coverage" and so easily meets WP:CORPDEPTH Deathlibrarian (talk) 22:25, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • There's no "Independent Content" in any of those articles. The "commentary" is simply rewording whatever announcement they're "reporting" on. If there wasn't an announcement then we wouldn't see several other articles in different publications all publishing and regurgitating the same "news". That isn't "Independent Content". Looking at the references you've listed:
          • The Swissinfo article is clearly based on a company announcement - for example here is one article dated the day before and here are a couple of other articles with the same date covering the same announcement. I cannot identify much by way of "Independent Content" in any one of there and therefore they fail WP:ORGIND.
          • Same observation on the "Deal Street Asia" article covering the topic company's raising of $100m and reaching "unicorn" status - same date, covering the same detail, no "Independent Content and also fails ORGIND.
          • The Bloomberg reference is also covering the same announcement. You say it "goes into the financial details" - all of the articles do but the Bloomberg article is also relying on information from the CEO Ge Yuesheng. Also fails ORGIND.
          • The Nikkei Asia article does not discuss anything about Matrixport (based on the link you included). They're mentioned in the tag line but the "article" is a single sentence. Is that the correct link to the article you're referring to?
          • The livemint article is actually based on this Bloomberg story (cos it says it right under the "2 min read" tagline) which in turn is based entirely on an interview with the new CEO Ge Yuesheng. So which it may not be based on a press release, neither does it contain "Independent Content" as per ORGIND, therefore fails ORGIND. In addition, same details with the same dates appear in other publications as we've seen before.
          • Finally, you reference a "Forbes" article but you link to a "Fortune" article. This article consists of a summary of the previous raising of capital (see the "unicorn" articles above) followed by a recounting of the details provided by the CEO Ge Yuesheng in an interview. That is not "Independent Content", fails ORGIND.
        You say that although an article may be "sometimes mixed with information from a press release", you haven't highlighted anything (paragraph number?) from those articles which meets *both* CORPDEPTH and ORGIND at the same time. Sure, there might be a single throwaway comment in an article that can't be tracked back to an announcement but that's a long way from the standard requires of references that may be used to establish notability. You highlight that the publications are RS and contain more that trivial or incidental coverage but you're ignoring ORGIND, especially the "Independent Content" aspect. As per WP:SIRS, each reference much meet all the criteria, so even if an article (as you say) meets RS and CORPDEPTH, if the in-depth parts aren't "Independent Content", the article fails ORGIND and therefore WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 14:23, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
HighKing I've gone to quite a bit of trouble to individually reference the articles here, discuss them and point out how they include RS and meet CORPDEPTH.. and I can see you have basically disagreed with all these - at this stage, I'm not sure there's much point in continuing, so at this point I think it best that I just agree to dissagree, so others can contribute. Thanks very much for the discussion, cheers. Deathlibrarian (talk) 02:29, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This individual is only notable as the co-founder of Overtime (sports network), which has been deleted as it was promotional in nature. I see no evidence of independent notability in the references given. If a non-promotional article can be written about the company, a redirect can be created to that article. Slashme (talk) 19:44, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback. Please explain how being the co-founder of a major digital media company, and the creation of a groundbreaking basketball that has been featured in almost all the major American media outlets, does not make someone notable? Also, the removal of the Overtime Sports page does make sense and will be re-written. It is certainly a notable company. Bankrupt305 (talk) 14:19, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, the topic of Overtime is notable, but Weiner is not independently notable. We don't need separate articles about Weiner, Overtime, and Overtime Elite. --Slashme (talk) 15:52, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have closely read the wikipedia criteria for new page creation and have spent time with wikipedia help desk and the normal protocol is for the editors to offer suggestions on how to improve this piece instead of just asking for deletion.

"Follow the normal protocol[edit] When you find a passage in an article that is biased, inaccurate, or unsourced the best practice is to improve it if you can rather than deleting salvageable text. For example, if an article appears biased, add balancing material or make the wording more neutral. Include citations for any material you add. If you do not know how to fix a problem, ask for help on the talk page.

To help other editors understand the reasoning behind your edits, always explain your changes in the edit summary.

  • Delete My analysis of the current references finds no usable in-depth sources to establish that the subject (Mr. Weiner) meets the requirements for a stand-alone article in mainspace. Most of the reference articles are about the company, Overtime; not about the co-founder. I don't see a benefit for re-incubating this in draft space—it's been tossed back and forth already. If qualified biographic coverage materializes, an uninvolved Wikipedian (perhaps from WikiProject Sports) can start a fresh draft. —Scottyoak2 (talk) 17:58, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have evaluated these additional source suggestions below. I have read and assessed all of the listed potential sources, and also dilegently performed WP:BEFORE. I've attempted to locate one solid source article upon which to build a reasonably-detailed biography of the subject. I have not been successful. The coverage all seems to focus on the company, and the only information about Mr. Weiner that could be summarized from it would amount to a limited résumé. I still think this article should be deleted. Beyond that, I still think the construction of a neutral draft summarizing the history (thus far) of the comapny and/or league would be fruitful. Some of the sources that I've evaluated in this discussion could likely be used to verify details about the founders within that company/league article; because the draft author wouldn't be seeking to establish notability of the founders, given that they wouldn't be the subjects of the draft. —Scottyoak2 (talk) 15:48, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Race-reversed casting

The topic is reasonably notable, but only as a sub-heading in Color-blind casting. I am proposing this AfD to suggest a merge and redirect from Race-reversed casting to Color-blind casting. The novel use of "photo negative" casting is notable only in one or two specific cases, such as the production of Othello masterminded by Sir Patrick Stewart. Therefore, I think it makes more sense to discuss these particular cases as specific instances of color-blind casting on that article page rather than to contrive an article based on an esoteric form of casting that does not have independent notability separate from the one or two cases.

  • Keep As there are sufficient 3rd party sources to affirm notability under WP:GNG. Furthermore, as was agreed on the talk page back when there was all that bruhaha, Colour-blind casting is a similar but different form of casting.

  • Procedural keep if you want this merged this should be a merge request and not at AfD. You can try a merge proposal following the steps at WP:MERGEPROP. (However there was a recent merge proposal that seemed to result in no merge). snood1205 19:38, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep AfD isn't the right venue to propose a merge, the article cites sources which seem to discuss the subject beyond the Patrick Stewart production, and I don't think it's fair to describe the subject as a subtopic of Color-blind casting (because it isn't colour blind). Hut 8.5 20:25, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Almost every merge I've ever seen has come out of an AfD. This seems like a good place to start. I doubt a merger proposal will get any attention on a low-traffic page like that, but I'll give it a shot if there's no consensus for that procedural reason. @The C of E: you're mistaken regarding the scope of Color-blind casting, which also covers non-traditional casting and is therefore the right place to write about recondite casting decisions such as this one. Let's talk about GNG, though, by running through the sources. You've framed the article as a notable casting technique, but the sources don't support that. The sources support the notability of Patrick Stewart's race-reversed production of Othello. I'm going to be listing them in the order they appear as of this revision.
    1. This source is entirely about the casting of Stewart's Othello.
    2. Again, this is about Stewart's casting of Othello.
    3. Othello again.
    4. Othello.
    5. Othello.
    6. Othello.
    7. Our first and only non-Othello source. It's some random .edu releasing a blog post (press release?) about a non-notable director casting a non-notable all African American production of Death of a Salesman. The source article doesn't even mention race-reversed casting or photo negative casting. Probably because it's an all African American cast rather than a "reversed" cast of black and white actors.
    8. And we're back to Othello coverage.
    9. The Guardian on Stewart's Othello.
    10. I don't know what this is... some kind of textbook? No quotation to go off of, and it's used to source some vague prose about it being praised.
    11. Othello again, and it's a trivial mention at that.
So where's the WP:SIGCOV required for GNG? You can argue sigcov for Stewart's casting in Othello. You can't argue sigcov for "race-reversed casting," because it's not independently notable outside of that production. That turns it into a weird single-purpose WP:COATRACK or an example of WP:NOTNEWS. @Snood1205 and Hut 8.5: would you please reconsider your votes with that in mind? Thanks for your time! AlexEng(TALK) 11:48, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid you are mistaken because the Colour-blind article clearly describes it as "blind casting". This is not "blind casting", this is deliberately and intentionally casting characters in reverse race roles. The term "race reversed" casting was used as the title of the article as an WP:NDESC title opposed to "Photo negative casting" as it was originally. This isn't a COATRACK (which is an essay not a policy anyway) as it isn't trying to obscure anything or go off on a tangent. Also, NOTNEWS doesn't apply here either as this isn't OR, a news report, a who's who or gossip. It is only about a theatrical concept that may have been utilised rarely but is one that exists. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 11:58, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're missing several points here. Color-blind casting discusses variants of non-traditional casting and can easily be expanded to cover this more or less unique casting decision for Stewart's Othello within the context of "race-reversed" casting. The concept of "photo negative" or "race reversed" casting is also so needlessly restrictive that it's going to be esoteric by its very nature; it implies a racial binary. Who are you going to cast for a traditionally Asian, Latina, or Navajo character in "photo negative" casting? What's the opposite of Asian? Race-reversed casting is a coatrack, because it digresses from the arguably notable casting choice for Stewart's Othello and focuses on the practice as a whole, which is not notable independent of Stewart's Othello. As an analogy, consider if I created an article about the World Trade Center cross, but I named it Formation of steel beam crosses in building collapse. Yeah, it happened in a notable way, but framing the article as a discussion of the creation of crosses made of steel beams as a result of building collapse is creating a coatrack. Lastly, WP:ITEXISTS is not a solid argument, and WP:NOTNEWS says most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion, which is an argument against WP:SIGCOV, which is explicitly why that policy exists. See WP:WHYN. AlexEng(TALK) 12:51, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
For a start the argument you're making isn't based on the GNG. The GNG just says that the article subject needs to have significant coverage in third-party reliable sources. This subject clearly does. It doesn't say anything about only having notability in the context of X. Nor do I see how you can apply the likes of NOTNEWS, because this concept was still getting substantial coverage over a decade after Stewart's production of Othello. Combined with the fact that the concept has been applied to other productions (which the article discusses, with sources), I think it's suitable for a standalone article. I wouldn't object to it being merged into an article about non-traditional casting, but we don't have an article about non-traditional casting. We only have an article about colour-blind casting, and it's definitely not in scope for that as it involves casting people by race. Hut 8.5 12:56, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, GNG demands significant coverage of the actual topic. The topic that is being covered significantly in the above sources is not race-reversed casting. It's the race-reversed casting of Stewart's Othello. I could likewise not claim notability on Deaths caused by stingrays because one event received significant coverage: Death of Steve Irwin. Do you understand where I'm coming from? What other notable, reliably sourced productions are there in the article? If the answer is "none", then will you change your mind? AlexEng(TALK) 13:18, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree with that interpretation: coverage of race-reversed casting in the context of the Stewart production is coverage of race-reversed casting. The sources aren't solely concerned with the details of Stewart's production but with the general concept/idea of race-reversed casting. And as I've said the article discusses examples of race-reversed casting other than Stewart's. Hut 8.5 17:56, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to color-blind casting. While there are clearly different ways to approach this, and technically "color blind" implies at first glance that race is not considered in casting, while we also have cases of deliberately changing some or all of the race roles involved. The thing is in this case "color-blind casting" is a catch-all term for a variety of casting techniques that are basically anything other than trying to cast based on the phenotype of historical characters or the perceived and understood phenotype of fictional characters. I also have to admit that I dislike this term because at some level if assumes a binary of race, which is not workable in any context, and clearly not in a global context when you have countries like China which has 56 designated ethnic groups which are in essence like the racial groups in the US. Also, color-blind casting though inprecise, could also include the changes of ethnicities of a character that are not exactly racial classificiations, while this term more clearly invokes race. I think it is general considered a sub-topic of "color blind casting" in actual use, although in theory technical "color-blind" casting is only when you ignore race in casting, this often involves deliberately changing race for stylistic or social reasons, but in many cases it is hard to tell. Was Perry White recast as a black man in "Man of Steel" because Laurence Fishburne was the best actor they could find in a race neutral set of actors, or did they do it because of various stylistic or political inclinations of those making the film. I have seen people suggest the former, but not with any actual evidence they have direct insights into the thoughts of the directors. Next, was the casting of the role of Iris West in the TV Series Flash a result of feeling the actress they chose was the best, or was it for stylistic, political and story telling goals of the show. In that case it is at most a 1 color blind decision, as opposed to cases of total color blind casting, because there every relative role to that actress cast is done in a way that clearly acknowedges their race, there are other cases we can present where multiple roles are cast with people who based on either their looks or the racial identity of the actors could not be related. In some cases these are handwaved by making some people become adopted to explain their non-conforming look, but in other cases, most often in musical productions, they just go with it. Some of this brings to mind the Muppet Christmas Carol where Bob Cratchet and his wife are played by Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, but they make all their boys frogs and all the girls pigs. The even more fun thing on the Flash issue is that in the new Flash film the role of Iris West is again played by an actress who is generally classed as African-American, so is this a case of race role reversal from the comics, or is this a case where the changes to the role done in the TV show have become so deeply entenched in the public perception of the role that those making the film knew that if they did not cast an actress of African descent as Iris West, they would be savaged in some parts of social media and maybe elsewhere with vicious attacks as "white washing" the character and such? It is hard to say, although it does appear that at one point in development there were also two Euro-American actresses in consideration for the role of Iris West, so this may be a case of total color blind casting. My all time favorite to bring up is the show Merlin where an Afro-Guyanese descended British actress played the role of Ghinevere, but it was clearly not 100% color blind casting in that the role of her brother was also cast with an actor of African descent. Of course, maybe this is the result of fully color-blind casting decisions for the main characters where the main goal is to get strong actors, and for secondary characters they considered look to match where relation was established in a way that they did not for the primary characters. It is hard to know, and unless we can find secondary reliable sources that discuss this in depth, instead of my gathering notes from direct observations of the film, and then reading comments on TV tropes, it is going to be hard to justfy having full free standing articles on sub-topics of this idea, especially where what is what is not well established, and a lot of the discussion of it comes from social media posts that often put way more heat than light on the topic.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:09, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment So on futher review, race reverse casting seems to be the changing of all the races of the characters to tell a new story. I would argue the Death of a Salesman is not a case of this, if it is than The Wiz should be mentioned here, because if we are treating a total cast change than clearly recasting The Wizard of Oz with an all-African American cast is a thing. However, what was done in this one production of Othello was retelling the story by switching all the main characters races. So why exactly are we not speaking of how Guess Who (film) is a race reversal film of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? The reason may be in part because those two films are not really the same story, just have some very minor conditions of the plot in common. The big thing in my mind is that "color-blind casting" does not literally mean race is ignored in cating, it means that it is approached in non-traditional ways, or is considered less than an absolute condition. The term covers a lot of similar but different things. In part because we have to judge the results and not always directorial]producetorial intent. For example, in some cases race changes from the material being adapted will be called for in screen plays or scripts for stage plays before casting is done, but sometimes screen plays and scripts will be rewritten to make sure they conform to the people who have actually been cast.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:56, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Our color-blind casting article treats any change from the race of the character/actor in either previous productions, or based on the known historical context of a real person as a case of color-blind casting. Thus merging together A-changes between the race/ethnicity of historical figures and the ones of the actor protraying them, 2-changes between the race/ethnicity of a fictional character, and the race/ethnicity of the character in a new production (it includes the Flash TV series under this rubric, which involves changes the race of multiple realted characters in a unified way), and 3-changes in the race of a role that is explicitly non-human and so tehcnically in the role itself does not involve race. The example for the last is the casting of Dean Cain as Superman in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The fact that Dean Cain was of mostly European but partial Japanese ancestry may or may not make this different than if a fully Japanese ancestried actor had been given the role. The fact that his birth parents were shown and were cast with actors who at least appear to be of fully European descent may also have some bearing, although our article only mentions that Cain who was of Japanese descent was given the role, and previously the role had been portrayed by Euro-American actors, and Superman was always drawn to appear white in the comics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:18, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have to admit what I find oddest is that our Color-blind casting page mentions Spider-man homecoming as a case because a very minor character was recast from white to Hispanic, but does not mention that MJ Watson, who is arguably one of the 3 most important characters in the franchise, and if we consider the Frnachise as a whole may be the second most essentially character after Peter Parker/Spiderman, has a changed race. I guess some would argue since this MJ Watson is Michelle Jones Watson not Mary Jane Watson she is a different character, but I think from any story telling of stylistic view of what is going on, the name change does not make her a different character, she is still filling the same character niche and the name changes in this case leads to her being still called MJ most of the time.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:18, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The city is undeniably major and the Council has received international attention because of the George Floyd protests and it's subsequent police reform initiatives. I see no reason Chughtai is an exception with regards to notability and hope you will expand on your basis for nominating nearly every incoming Councilmember's page for deletion. Stanloona2020 (talk) 20:12, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep: We should be encouraging articles like this, not deleting them. This is not a "non-major office," and in fact it is even more notable than it might look on paper due to the centrality of Minneapolis to the demonstrations and unrest that have been occurring in the US (and other western countries) since 2020. Decisions made by the Minneapolis City Council (such as a proposal to create a new city public safety department instead of the police department) have been nationally noteworthy. It makes no sense to delete this article, when Wikipedia would in fact benefit from articles on all current members of the Minneapolis City Council and in fact quite uncontroversially had articles on each then-current member before the 2021 city election (which is when new member Chughtai was elected).

Similar case to recently deleted İpek Özgan and Büşra Demirörs. Aydın has only played in WP:NOTFPL leagues and her caps for Turkey are only at youth level, youth caps don't confer notability. This source has about 3 sentences that mention her and the rest either only contain one mention or they are stats websites.

Per strong consensus, Aydın is required to meet WP:GNG but I could find nothing about her in a Turkish search. Some coverage of Ebru Aydın exists but nothing really about the footballer of this name that would justify an article. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:29, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This can be a useful if somewhat niche list. Remember that Wikipedia has plenty of episode lists for TV shows that are frequently less notable.

Av = λv (talk) 15:18, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- While some interesting keep arguments have been made, and I appreciate the work that has gone into this, I really do not see what purpose this serves as a Wikipedia article. Ignoring for the moment the fact that the list is nothing like complete (covering only specials covering a few political events in 2018 and 2019) - there are several other issues to my mind. BBC News Specials are often produced at very short notice and are unscheduled (so getting details of older ones would be challenging) -so an episode guide is an odd thing. The titles vary - it is not like BBC News Special is a brand for a series as I think is being implied here, but something used (inconsistently) to denote special coverage of a major event. Indeed BBC News Special redirects to BBC News - it would be odd to have a list of episodes for something that there is not even an article about! In fact the BBC News article does not even mention news specials, which I think seriously brings into question their importance. Sometimes the specials are just essentially extended news bulletins. I do not see what would set them apart from extended special coverage of any event by BBC news in its history, or ITN for that matter. As I say I appreciate the work that has gone into this, but I don't think it meets notability requirements and has too many other issues which in my view preclude it as a Wikipedia article.

There is no actual claim to meeting notability guidelines. Being a signer of the role of distinguished stamp collectors is an honor, but it does not seem to meet our notability guidelines, since we do not find indepdent coverage of it. I did several searches. What I found is that some of the links to this article were really meant to go to Alma Theodora Lee, who seems to be the more common usage of "Alma Lee", so even if we keep this article it should not longer be the primary use of Alma Lee. GNG requires independent sources, and the stamp collecting societies own publicatiion honoring those it gives an honor to is not an indepdent source for establishing notability. I see no way to show notability here, and my searches for additional sources turned up nothing. Her one publication is not enough to establish her as a notable writer, so we have nothing here.

  • Comment mdvaden.com site is a promotional personal site for mdvaden and there is no indication he is considered an expert on Redwood trees. Therefore it is not a WP:reliable source. famousredwoods.com is privately registered and there does not appear to be an about page or similar to identify who it is written by. Additionally, the website is only valid with an insecure http url and I therefore conclude that it is not a reliable source either.

    @Noq: I don't believe that "the site can only be accessed through http" has any bearing on whether it is a reliable source. it does however seem to be a self-published source with no information on editorial control, so it probably isn't reliable. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:48, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment
    1. We discussed whether Vaden passes the expert bar at Talk:Grogan's Fault. Being a certified arborist is not the same as "being established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications" (quoting from WP:RSSELF). Vaden has not published his work in independent publications, and therefore is not considered an expert by Wikipedia.
    2. WP:PROD is a process for uncontroversial deletions. It is not required. I thought this might be a controversial deletion, so decided to bring this up at WP:AFD for discussion, rather than attempting a unilateral deletion.
    3. I don't believe that I have violated any behavioral guidelines of Wikipedia. I'm sorry if Jqmhelios11 feels bitten. I believe that I've been respectful in my limited dealings with them.
    4. This article truly does not currently appear to pass WP:GNG. GNG says that an article should have "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"
      • The article is currently only supported by mdvaden.com and famousredwoods.com. Both of those sources were previously determined to be unreliable (by consensus).
      • I checked: I cannot find any other sources than mdvaden.com and famousredwoods.com for Hail Storm. Maybe Jqmhelios11 can find something?
      • I'm not sure what Jqmhelios11 means that WP:GNG requires only 1 criteria: I quoted it above.

Note that calcalist seems to be the main source of reports, both in Hebrew and in English, smells fishy.

  • Keep The fact that something may not be well-known in the Anglosphere does not mean that it is not notable.

Mlb96 (talk) 05:46, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "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. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria as follows:
    • This TechCrunch article is based entirely on an announcement by Intel. For example, here's an article from the day before from the Jerusalem Post covering the exact same announcement with the same details even using the same quotes from company execs. Not "Independent Content", fails WP:ORGIND
    • Reuters article is also entirely based on a company announcement (second sentence confirm it too) with no "Independent Content". Here's the same announcement covered by the New York Times. Fails WP:ORGIND
    • The Forbes article is written by a "contributor" therefore fails as a WP:RS
    • This Times of Israel article dated 23rd October 2018 is based entirely on this Press Release of the same date with the addition of an interview. No "Independent Content", fails ORGIND.
    • The Bloomberg reference makes no secret of the fact it is based entirely on an announcement and interview with various involved executives. It has no "Independent Content", fails ORGIND.
Contrary to some of the comments above, the criteria for establishing notability is not based on the quantity of coverage and it matters not a whit the language and the country.

It is repeatedly created by a user with a close relationship with the subject (see the deletion log for Rakitha Welangoda in addition to repeated draft attempts), that is generally spammy and anyone who even begins to look into it quickly discovers there's no supporting reliable sources.

  • Keep - I disagree with OP interpretation that book reviews are routine. Certainly, book reviews of someone's work shows the person's notability and are one of the ways to guage notability. It meets WP:NAUTHOR point 3 "or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews". There is also significant coverage like Cengage along with all the book reviews. The tone of the article can be more neutral, but the subject is notable (5,407 library holdings). Additionally, there is some coverage about his legal career, but is behind paywall.

  • Comment – Note that the Rajasthan's historic north-western region in question is known by multiple similar names, e.g. Jangal Desh, Jangal Pradesh, Jangaladesh, Janglu, Jangal, etc. A cursory search with these terms shows a large number of results at Google Books and I don't have time to check them now. But I can provide relevant quotes from an academic source which is already cited in this article:
quotation

p. 28
A part of this desert was also addressed as ‘Jangal’, ‘Jangal Des’ or ‘Jangalu’ referring to the arid wilderness of the region. Contrasted with the neighbouring fertile plains of the Punjab rivers and the Indus, rich loamy lands of Gujarat and the thickly forested plateau of Malwa, its aridity renders a singularity to its character, that of a desert.
pp. 77–78
The kingdom of Bikaner was established in 1465, in the area that was traditionally known as Janglu.48 The fort-city of Bikaner was founded in 1488, in a place that was strategically located on a route that connected Punjab, Multan, Marwar, Delhi and Sindh. The control of this area seemed to have passed from one group to another and at the time of establishment of Bikaner. Johyas, Chauhans, Sankhlas, Parmars, Bhatis, Bhattis, Khichis, Chayals, Kyamkhanis and Jats were dominant groups and controlled large portions of this arid region.49 Several of these groups had accepted Islam but still seemed to maintain old associations, even continuing to enter into matrimonial alliances with their Hindu counterparts. In the 15th century, towards north and west of Janglu, Bhatis were still very strong and controlled all major forts including Pugal and Bhatner.50 Jats in this region saw Bika as a possible buffer between them and the Bhatis. Bika is believed to have intervened in ongoing disputes between Saran, Godara and Punia Jats, and eventually subjugated all of them. Nainsi describes Bika’s role in a dispute between Godaras and Sarans as follows,
The Saharans said, we will not be able to win, as Bikaji backs the Godaras. The Jats of Bhadang went to Narsinghdas Jatu, who brought his forces. When one hundred and forty Godaras were killed, they approached Bikaji, and told him that your Jats are being killed by Narsinghdas. At midnight half of the Jats of Bhadang approached Bikaji and told him that we will help you kill Narsinghdas. They took him to where Narsinghdas was asleep and Bikaji killed him. The Jat forces, fled, and Bikaji took all their cattle. Bikaji also killed Sonhar Jat at Harani Kheda.51

Its page nos. 57 and 76 also contain some relevant details about it, but I am not quoting them due to copyright issues. Note that I have just glanced through some pages of the above source, rather than reading them. And I am only posting here to show that this is not a hoax. So this needs a second look. But I guess we do need some coverage in other scholarly sources for meeting WP:GNG. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:47, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Partially agree with NitinMlk. As I already mentioned Jangladesh was real name of the region and it is no hoax. Rathores of Bikaner did subdue Jats of the area and took control of this region. The Bikaner Kingdom even in later times was called Jangal desh. As pointed out by @NitinMlk, there is problem of different spellings, in my opinion more common spelling is Jangal desh or Jangaldesh and not Jangladesh. Quick google book search for Jangal desh and Jangaldesh not Jangladesh gives quite a number of books mentioning it in relation with historical region. If I remember correctly, the rulers of Bikaner till later times were called Jangal dhar Badshah i.e. Lord of Jangaldesh. Sajaypal007 (talk) 12:49, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My bad, it is not a hoax: was too confident to bother rechecking Kothiyal. That being said, GNG is not met: there is nothing to write apart from that in bardic chronicles, Rajasthan (or rather, a part of it) is frequently mentioned as Jangaldesh.

No, only a particular north-western region of Rajasthan (rather than the whole of it) is historically known by this name. A quick search at Google Books shows that this academic source also has some details about it. But I don't have access to it. Anyway, you are way better than me at searching sources. So please do have a look at them if you get some time. Thanks. - NitinMlk (talk) 21:07, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't get time to look at the Google books search results, but I have just looked at the other sources cited in the article. One of them contains a chapter authored by Dr. Jibraeil, who was an assistant professor of history at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU): [10]. His research was focused on Rajasthan and the revised version of his thesis was published by Routledge in 2018: [11]. So I guess his cited chapter seems fine with in-text attribution. I will check its content in a day or two. Note that he was one of the multiple AMU faculty members who died this year due to COVID-19: see [12], [13], [14], etc.
Sajaypal007, the article's title is not an issue, as the page can be moved to Jangal desh if that's its WP:COMMONNAME. This region is mentioned in many Rajasthan-related articles. So a short and well-sourced article would be helpful. But at the same time, we need inputs from someone who is well-versed in Rajasthan's history of that era. - NitinMlk (talk) 23:44, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
NitinMlk, I consider myself as having good grasp on Rajasthan History, did my graduation and PG in it. As I looked at more and more sources, I kind of think that my vote for deletion was made in haste, although I did mention that the region is mentioned as such in history books. Can I change my vote from delete to merely a comment, with more inputs I can make better decision. Although I am little busy for next couple of weeks, I will atleast list as many sources I can find on this below. Sajaypal007 (talk) 05:42, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Added 3-4 sources on Jangladesh page alongwith quotes, copy pasting those here, Jangal Desh[1][2][3][4] Dr Dasharatha Sharma was a famous historian from Rajasthan. Rima Hooja is also archaeologist turned Historian. Karni Singh was former Maharaja of Bikaner i.e. the same region which was called Jangal desh and he also studied history from Delhi University. K.R. Qanungo was also a historian and wrote many books. Here 1 another famous historian of Rajasthan G.N.Sharma mentioned Jangaldesh in his map. Another historian Ram Vallabh Somani 2 in his book Prithvi raj and his times mention the region of Jangal desh. If time permits, I will add more sources that mention the region. Sajaypal007 (talk) 06:30, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Just remembered, the famous Chirwa inscription of Guhilot prince Samarsimha, states that Jaitrasimha's (his grandfather) pride could not be curbed by rulers of Malwa, Gujarat, Maru and Jangala. Sajaypal007 (talk) 06:42, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sajaypal007, the WP:!VOTE can be changed whenever you want, and the AfD can be relisted if you need some more time. But I am not familiar with Rajasthan's history of that era. BTW, Jibraeil's chapter does have relevant details, which I will hopefully quote here tomorrow. - NitinMlk (talk) 19:42, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As the title indicates, Jibraeil's chapter is about the Churu region, rather than Jangaldesh, although Churu was part of Jangaldesh. Anyway, here's a relevant quote from the book:
quotation

After Chauhans, Jats completely established their supremacy and hold over administration in their own traditional fashion, which continued till the conquest of the region by the Rathors.23 The Jats claimed their right over the land which was under their possession before the Rathors occupied it and this claim was inherited by their descedants, who used to divide the land among themselves for cultivation. It appears probable that in the early period of their conquest the Rathors could not exercise any definite claim on the land as landlords. However, it was possible only in the 17th century,24 due to internal rivalries among the Jats, primarily Godaras surrendered, later on all the Jat clans accepted Rathor's suzerainty.25 After this, the rulers had strengthened their position and tightened their grip over the area.26
When Rathors led an expedition into the region of dry land also known as Jangal Pradesh, which was occupied by the Jats and various tribes, the Bhatis and Jats of the region wanted to secure their position, they measured sworded with him and fought bravely against them, but finally defeated and accepted Rathor suzerainty.27

- NitinMlk (talk) 20:28, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Churu and Bikaner were both part of Kingdom of Bikaner, Rathores since Rao Bika ruled over this part. So historically Churu is also considered as part of Jangal Pradesh. Sajaypal007 (talk) 13:27, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Long story short, Jangaldesh used to be the old name of a particular region in Rajasthan which was ruled by Jats, before felling to Bika. We know nothing except this. So, why not merge to History of Rajasthan? TrangaBellam (talk) 06:44, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with TrangaBellam. The term is very sparsely cited and, at best, deserves a mention somewhere. Not an article of its own. --RegentsPark (comment) 15:21, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment -- I believe that "desh" means something like province. I do not know the distinction between it and pradesh (also province). However differences of name according to whether these words are added to the name Jangla and variations in the vowels (due to differences in transliteration and not significant. The footnotes seem to have quotations using the name, so that it seems to be real. On the otehtr hand I would caution against the expansion of this article beyond its current length.

This is a disambiguation page for two pages for two different topics which had been agglomerated into a single page. Neither topic appeared, in itself, notable. After discussion with Kvng, I split the two topics each into their own independent page, added hatnotes, changed the main page to a disambiguation page, nominated the two new pages for PROD, and this one for AfD (2nd). This whole process was complicated somewhat by vandalism halfway through. If one of the two independent pages survives PROD for some reason, it can be brought back into this page. Otherwise, as seems most likely, all three should go. Bill Woodcock (talk) 09:22, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The plan was to delete all three, since nobody has suggested that any of them describe anything notable, but if you want to have a disambiguation page distinguishing three non-notable things which were proposed by someone once, and never became real...

  • Draftify for not more than six months, at which point notability should be reconsidered: I'm not seeing evidence of the protest's impact. Just getting themselves a meeting with a senator is not enough. This is too soon for an article—if the protest carries some lasting significance, it can be moved back (in a much more neutral tone and article title). If this is kept in any form (including draftification), its title should be changed to "2021 Arizona hunger strike" or something of the like. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 04:16, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The name of the article has been changed. The definition of "notability" for wikipedia article is that there're multiple reputable sources referring to the event. This event has been reported on national TV, newspapers and magazines. There are at least 40 original reports and coverage on this event nationally. Regarding the impact, 40 people were willing to sacrifice their health and stop eating for days on - how often does this occur? btw, I'm requesting a global name change as the original requester of deletion was using my personal info as part of the reason for their recommendation (which is very improper, FWIW). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ningmosberger (talk • contribs) 04:38, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    I agree that the OP should not have cited your personal information. However, I don't appreciate you looking through my contributory history. The reason that George H. W. Bush broccoli comments exists in mainspace, and this article should not, is that the former article has demonstrated a lasting significance over time with respect to presidential health, campaign messaging, and the broccoli industry. The latter has not demonstrated that has had an effect on state policy, hunger strikes, or even prompted a national discussion of some kind. And that's because the protest ended yesterday. We have a guideline for this, it's WP:TOOSOON—I'd read that as well. This protest is unique, and interesting, but neither of those are mentioned in our guidelines for inclusion. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 06:06, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I did not mean any disrespect by including “personal information” in my nomination rationale. I only did so because the page’s creator uses their given name as their username. And the photos uploaded on the page were uploaded by someone of the same name. Anyone can Google that name and find a semi-public person. I made the assumption that this page was designed to be an extension of a public figure’s journalism work. Per WP:OUTING, Posting another editor's personal information is harassment, unless that person has voluntarily posted their own information, or links to such information, on Wikipedia. Either way, I have redacted my mention of their name in the deletion rationale. KidAd • SPEAK 06:31, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Thank you for removing reference to my personal info. This article has nothing to do with me. In fact I didn't even know that readers could see my username so easily otherwise I'd have never used it (and have since requested a global user name change after I saw your comment). And the reason I used the photos I took is that I don't want to get into copyright issues. This article has everything to do with 20-40 kids who sacrificed their health (and risked their lives) to stand up for something that they really cared about. And they have made a difference! They had talked to dozens of Congressional folks since they were in DC. Three Texas House Representatives came to DC to support them because of voter suppression in Texas that can only be addressed by a federal law. Senator Merkley (who was the primary sponsor of the For the People Act) mentioned the kids on Twitter. Senator Kelly met with them. The Senators knew that they were there. The White House knew that they were there. Even though the Senate didn't pass the bill yet, Senate Majority Leader Schumer wrote yesterday that the democracy bills would be voted again in the first week when they return. They were on Washington Post, Mother Jones, MSNBC, ABC, Fox, The Guardian, The Politico, and more. They already *had an impact*, whether the bill will eventually pass or not. Also, someone changed the title to "Arizona hunger strike" which is incorrect. They only spent 5 days in Arizona, and 10 days in DC in front of the White House. At the end, half of the kids on hunger strike were not from Arizona. They came from all over the country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ningmosberger (talk • contribs) 08:05, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Regarding "Posting another editor's personal information is harassment, unless that person has voluntarily posted their own information, or links to such information, on Wikipedia.": well, in fact, I did not "post my own information or links to" my personal information. You googled my username, which isn't information that I voluntarily posted. Just sayin' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ningmosberger (talk • contribs) 08:12, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't believe the WP:TOOSOON is applicable. Here is the description for WP:TOOSOON: "While there are topics that might arguably merit an article, sometimes it is simply too soon. Generally speaking, the various notability criteria that guide editors in creating articles require that the topic being considered be itself verifiable in independent secondary reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, nor is it a collection of unverifiable content. It is an encyclopedia that must be reliable. If sources do not exist, it is generally too soon for an article on that topic to be considered." As I mentioned above, the hunger strike has been covered in over 40 original articles or TV interviews, some of them included in the reference list. They are verifiable, independent, and substantial coverages of the event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ningmosberger (talk • contribs) 08:34, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, I meant WP:PERSISTENCE. To quote Leo McGarry, "in this day and age, these kids are phenomenal". But they would either need lasting coverage or a shown impact to qualify for inclusion. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 04:56, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Regarding Impact: Right after the Senate dismissed the session, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made this statement: "Additionally, please be advised that shortly after the 117th Congress resumes in January, the Senate will consider voting rights legislation, as early as the first week back." and "If Senate Republicans continue to abuse the filibuster and prevent the body from considering this bill, the Senate will then consider changes to any rules which prevent us from debating and reaching final conclusion on important legislation." It's difficult to prove impact, but the hunger strike definitely moved the needle in the right direction. Several Senators were tweeting about the hunger strike before they left DC. If the US Congress manages to pass the most significant voting reforms since the Civil Rights Movement (and even if they don't pass), we owe a debt of gratitude to these kids.

The subject does not meet WP:NCHURCH, and its lack of notability has been pointed out since 2016; I have found nothing on this denomination. The article has no reliable secondary source to support its notability.
I recommend deletion. Veverve (talk) 02:55, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@StAnselm: All the mentions of the Ontario Old Roman Catholic Church in the link you provided are WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS; and from what I get with a Google books search in the 1996 edition, all mentions of this denomination there seem to be WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS.

Subject lacks independent significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. The sources in the article are mainly press releases, or are about events in which Duncan was involved but not about Duncan directly. Those sources where Duncan is the main subject are too closely connected to him to be considered independent. Article reads like a CV or press release. I can't find independent coverage on the awards. The article is also an orphan with zero incoming wikilinks. 4meter4 (talk) 02:49, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found no significant coverage per WP:NALBUM. SL93 (talk) 00:00, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would be fine with a redirect the album is found be non-notable. I didn't realize that Roosarna was once known as that. SL93 (talk) 20:02, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's confusing because Kikki Danielsson released several solo albums on her own, but she was a member of Roosarna on every single one of their albums. Even more confusingly, the Roosarna albums were released as Roosarna featuring Kikki Danielsson, then as Kikki & Roosarna, and then as Kikki Danielsson & Roosarna. Anyway, the album being discussed here is a Roosarna album with Kikki on it. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 03:52, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MEMORIAL written by WP:COI editor for non-notable businessman. This rambling article effectively says "man did job". Being CEO of a notable company does not make this individual notable per WP:NOTINHERITED. MIDI (talk) 17:06, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly all of the sources are press releases or derived from press releases after his passing. We cannot use press releases or articles derived heavily from press releases, as they are not considered independent. Pyrrho the Skeptic (talk) 17:22, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. For the simple reason there is almost no independent coverage of this person. After tracing down the sources of what little coverage there is, it appears to originate mostly from company press releases. Also, one obituary does not make a subject notable.

  • There are no reliable sources cited in the page. There may be reliable sources on Google News, as I saw a few passing mentions only on articles about the company. Notability is not inherited. Any reliable, independent sources with SIGCOV must be added or the page is a delete. Multi7001 (talk) 00:36, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect or merge to the article about the company he was a CEO of. His contributions could be discussed there. 👨x🐱 (Nina CortexxCoco Bandicoot) 00:54, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Whilst the article as it stand is WP:PROMO, Schnyder is a WP:BASIC pass per this source, this source, this source, this source, and this source. The present state of referencing in the article doesn't matter per WP:NEXIST, WP:PROMO can be fixed through normal editing. The Financial Times reference particularly makes this an easy keep. FOARP (talk) 14:04, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We should keep in mind that nearly all of those sources you shared came from the same press release, or press announcement on about the same date, and per WP:PRSOURCE "Press releases and articles written from press releases cannot be used to support claims of notability." Pyrrho the Skeptic (talk) 15:26, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Each of the obituaries obviously contains independent reporting. The fact that they quote the press release as a statement from the company about his death does not mean that they are based on the press release. I mean Financial Times is about as high-quality as things get with sourcing so you're going to have a up-hill struggle to convince anyone that they sourced their obituary of Schnyder to a press release when it contains a bunch of stuff that clearly wasn't sourced to the company and aren't contained in the other articles about his death (e.g., the expansion in the former USSR and sales to a central Asian dictator, details about "The freak", Ludwig Oechslin's role etc. etc. etc.).
Additionally the final source (La Stampa) was from before his death, wasn't based on a press-release, so did you actually check all of the sources I included in my comment?
And this is all without even touching on the industry press (e.g., this), and society coverage (e.g., this and this). FOARP (talk) 19:20, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe, but the independent coverage is still almost entirely based off the news of his death, and there does not appear to be much coverage during his life. I did look at the sources you shared. The La Stampa is just a couple of quotes from him about the business, according to my translation. Am I wrong? I don't think that's significant coverage of the man himself. But clearly a lot of this is subjective. Pyrrho the Skeptic (talk) 19:45, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The FT obituary is very clearly coverage of Schnyder's entire life. Ditto the industry press coverage. The Le Temps obituary does discuss his sporting career and rescue of the company so it's not just about his death. The Tropical Style book is by Tuttle Publishing (an established publishing house) and is also clearly significant coverage of Schnyder, and notably doesn't even mention the company. That coverage of his life happened primarily when he died does not negate the fact that this is coverage of his life - many notable people only receive their best coverage in obituaries or after they are dead. Even taking a narrow view of the period of time in which there was coverage of Schnyder, it appears to have gone on for months/years and did not simply occur in April 2011. FOARP (talk) 08:39, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
PS - I've given the article a heavy edit to remove the PROMO garbage, reads better now I think. FOARP (talk) 11:36, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Re-reviewing the sources cited, the page is a very weak keep; a subject of very low significance in the industry. The page will require the removal of all unreliable sources cited. Multi7001 (talk) 16:39, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
