Cricketer whose only reference is a database entry (no longer permitted as the only reference) and for whom no claim is made that would satisfy general notability because nothing is said about what third parties have written. Also does not satisfy the current version of cricket notability because there is no indication that he played test cricket or otherwise played internationally.

  • Delete A reasonable career of 16 FC matches, but in a basic internet search, I'm not seeing anything to suggest a GNG pass. There may be coverage offline or in non-English language sources though. Not seeing a suitable redirect here as there's no main team he's played for.

  • Redirect to List of Khairpur cricketers - which is itself a redirect for now until someone puts the graft in to develop it. 13 of his 16 matches were for Khairpur and he played for the side over an 8 year period. That's a decent enough compromise for me to suggest that that's the best redirect target in a case such as this. Ideally we'd merge a note to that list per WP:ATD-M, but that might have to wait.

I find no indication that the acronym WBCHS is used either for white blood cells or for the West Boca Raton Community High School. In fact, a Google search finds "West Brooklyn Community High School" (no article on Wikipedia) and that's basically it. Pichpich (talk) 23:27, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to Redirect to High School When I originally ran into this page, it redirected to White Blood Cell. I wanted to preserve the original redirect without ruffling any feathers, but if no sources are saying it, let's get rid of that part.
However, multiple sources (see Active Kids, Active Communities, Events.com, the principal of the school himself, and Active.com) all use the abbreviation. I see no reason to remove the redirect for the high school. InvadingInvader (talk) 00:32, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An editor even writes in the first paragraph that she is best known for being married to a celebrity. That in and of itself makes her not notable. BostonMensa (talk) 23:18, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Women-related deletion discussions. BostonMensa (talk) 23:18, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    This article was missing information. She was a co-founder of important racetrack and a significant figure in thoroughbred racing. Perhaps that would meet the significance requirement? Intrepid203 (talk) 00:21, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I wonder I’d that is emough to warrant an individual article Maddy can’t just be mentioned in Desi’s reticle. BostonMensa (talk) 08:31, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The nominator is mistaken. Being married to a celebrity does not "in and of itself makes her not notable." Quite the opposite, in fact: a relationship with a very famous person often leads to fame. pburka (talk) 01:33, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • fame and notability are two totally different things.
    I am not mistaken. I have seen many people say the same exactly the same thing in other discussions and it is always under the same conditions. Usually from what I remember, it is abut a child but whatever the relation, the theme is notability is not inherited.
    and btw, we are allowed to disagree but saying I am mistaken implies we are discussing a fact and mot an opinion. Simply because we disagree doesn’t mean I am mistaken. BostonMensa (talk) 08:40, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I suspect you're thinking of the essay at WP:NOTINHERITED, the gist of which is that notability isn't automatically inherited. You wrote that her marriage "in and of itself makes her not notable." I stand by my position that this is incorrect and I think such a position is contradictory to WP:5P2. pburka (talk) 13:08, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I am thinking of multiple comments in discussions like this where the article’s authors may or may not have explicitly said “so and so is best known as the spouse/child/parent of this other so and so” but the article was not any different than this one when I nominated it. And while I do not remember verbatim what people said in their comments, let alone who said it and which articles were being discussed, I do remember the common theme of celebrity by association/celebrity not inherited. BostonMensa (talk) 15:45, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that proximity to celebrity doesn't automatically confer notability, but your statement was much stronger: perhaps stronger than you intended. You said her relationship "makes her not notable". Did you mean to say the relationship "does not make her notable"? pburka (talk) 15:53, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The WP:INVALIDBIO guideline includes, That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A (unless significant coverage can be found on A), and I think the emphasis on whether significant coverage exists is a helpful focus for these types of discussions. Beccaynr (talk) 18:12, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I meant exactly want I said, no more and no less. Reread the part where I said that at the time I nominated the article, an editor said she was “best known” for being married to Desi Arnaz. A lot of women at the time might have been envious n but being married to an entertainer in and of itself is not notable. I can’t be any clearer than that. You can continue to discuss it all you want but this is the last time I a, commenting on the subject. Other people can weigh in if they want. BostonMensa (talk) 02:29, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I have not found sufficient independent and reliable support for notability; for example, in the NYT obit for Desi Arnaz, she is only mentioned at the end of the article as one of his surviving relatives, and then the NYT issued a correction noting she died in 1985. From the Clement L. Hirsch article, I found a brief announcement of her marriage and divorce in Time magazine; she is not named as an Oak Tree Racing Association co-founder in Clement Hirsch's LAT obit. The book cited in her article is not particularly in-depth coverage about her (primarily at pp. 273-274, then some gossip/speculation related to Desi, on a few other pages). I have no objection to a redirect to Desi Arnaz, where there is some information about her. Beccaynr (talk) 02:01, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for all this information, very helpful. Could someone help set up a redirect to Desi Arnaz while keeping some of the information on this current page? Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that. Intrepid203 (talk) 13:17, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I considered suggesting a selective merge of content to Desi Arnaz, but based on available sources, there does not appear to be independent and reliable coverage of her role in thoroughbred racing or the Oak Tree Racing Association to support merging that content - in her article, the source cited refers to the role of her former husband, not her. Also, a redirect is one of the possible common outcomes at AfD, so it might be created after this AfD ends, or could be requested afterwards. Beccaynr (talk) 16:53, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I agree, only notable as a side note in Desi Arnaz's life. Deathlibrarian (talk) 06:16, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect sounds like great solution! Intrepid203 (talk) 13:18, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have never figured out why you need to redirect rather than delete or merge. But either way, someone interested enough can incorporate the information amd citations to Desi’s page. BostonMensa (talk) 15:48, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, redirect is probably better. Deathlibrarian (talk) 23:45, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Joshua Bassett's Tour 2022

Joshua Bassett's Tour 2022 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a concert tour, not properly referenced as having a strong claim to passing WP:NTOUR. As always, concert tours are not all "inherently" notable enough to have Wikipedia articles just because they're happening -- the notability test for a concert tour is not passed just by verifying that the tour exists, but by demonstrating some form of cultural or artistic significance "in terms of artistic approach, financial success, relationship to audience, or other such terms" (and that's a direct quote from NTOUR.)
But this is heavily reference bombed to sources that are not establishing notability at all -- out of 23 footnotes, 15 are to Twitter tweets, Instagram posts or Joshua Bassett's own self-published website about himself, another is to an indiscriminate setlist database that still isn't a notability maker, and two more just glancingly namecheck Joshua Bassett in passing without being about him or the tour in any non-trivial sense. And of the just five footnotes that are actually both about the tour and from real GNG-building media, they all just basically verify the tour's existence without saying anything that would satisfy the notability criteria that NTOUR is looking for.

I can't find any evidence this person served in the Utah state House, but even if he had he fails WP:NPOL. I would also say that two tertiary sources by themselves are not enough to establish notability. The provided sources are also missing inline citations and I cannot figure out where to access them online so cannot validate anything. EnPassant♟♙ (talk) 21:51, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I actually think he passes NPOL, "Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels." due to the two terms in the Utah State Legislature. TBH that has more to do with NPOL mission creep than the notability of this subject, but he does pass NPOL. Also note that you can pass NPOL and still not be notable, it only indicates that a subject is likely to be notable but they might not actually be. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:09, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

None of the secondary sources cited in the article are about the organization. They cite some reports or declarations by the organization, or people affiliated with the organization, but they do not provide significant coverage about the organization. The most "in-depth" source seems to be The Irish Times [6], which includes a full paragraph about it, but that is still not significant. So it does not pass WP:ORGCRIT. MarioGom (talk) 18:07, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I reviewed every source in the article, and spend substantial time reviewing Google News search results. The nominator's description is correct. There are ~250 sources either mentioning a report by this org, or quoting someone from this org, but I can find no significant coverage on the org itself. The Irish Times source appears to be the best - and that "paragraph" is actually a single sentence. It seems reasonably likely that it will become Notable in the future, but not now. I would endorse moving the page to draft space or userspace, if someone wants to adopt it and watch for future significant coverage.
    Note: Given the impressive range of sources citing this group, it is tempting to say it "deserves" an article. However Wikipedia Notability is not based on importance or worthiness. We require significant coverage in multiple reliable sources to ensure we can build a proper article in compliance with all of our policies. Right now this article is almost entirely a promotional vehicle for things that the org itself has said - and that is because there is an absence of outside sourcing to use. I'm sure the article author did the best they could with what they had available, but that's not enough to comply with WP:NPOV and other policies. Imaging we had an article on a hate group, and that article was almost entirely built from things they had said about themselves. We can't build a compliant and Neutral encyclopedic article without significant coverage in independent sources. Alsee (talk) 19:53, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    ”Right now this article is almost entirely a promotional vehicle for things that the org itself has said - and that is because there is an absence of outside sourcing to use” That’s just not true, at least as the article stands today. There’s only one primary source in the article, two if you count expert testimony to the US House of Reps. Both are used just once. If independent reliable sources are quoting the org, or a founder in her capacity as founder, or relaying findings of the org, that goes towards notability. That’s not what you’re calling promotion, I hope! 78.18.239.47 (talk) 15:41, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    78.18.239.47 I was using "promotional" in exactly the way you hoped I was not. We often use "promotional" in a negative sense, but I was actually attempting to avoid a negative implication here. Our neutrality policy requires that we summarize what independent reliable sources say about a subject. We lack significant coverage of that sort here. The article makes a best effort, but it's basically stuck either quoting the organization itself, or quoting people who quote the organization. Under policy those quotes are not independent, they are insufficient for us to produce a present a Neutral point of View of the org, and they do not qualify to support Notability. It is impossible for us to create a policy-compliant article. Any such article is unavoidably a promotional vehicle for the org's own statements, because we have nothing else available. We need multiple sources that devote a fair number of sentences writing about the org, rather than merely quoting it. Once we have that threshold, we can supplement the article using statements from org itself. Alsee (talk) 09:05, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    A point of requiring independent and reliable sources is that subjective opinions about whether the coverage constitutes promotion or denigration are irrelevant. The reliability and independence of the sources here are uncontested. I understand that you want more secondary comment but descriptions of the org and brief bios of the founders exist and it’s obvious to me that outlets that report on their reports are taking significant notice of them. 78.18.234.190 (talk) 20:03, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Alsee (and commendation on the effort!). I actually believe the Irish Times source in its entirety is about the org, because its other paragraphs use "GPHAE", an abbreviation for it. However, a single extensive source is not enough imo. There are a few other sources about its founder Heidi Beirich, but those would only help establish notability for a bio article. Having read that the org was founded only in 2020, I believe that this might be a case of [[WP:TOOSOON]. Future coverage might increase if the org can establish itself as a trusted resource, but we can't predict the future. So for now, delete, unfortunately. –LordPickleII (talk) 20:54, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I searched the archives of the New York Times and learned that this organization has been mentioned six times in recent years, but all were passing mentions of the form "Beirich of the GPHE said such and such about this hate group". I agree that this organization may well become notable at any time, if a few reliable sources decide to publish articles about the group instead of just mentioning its reports and the comments thats its leader made. So, I would not oppose turning the article into a draft. Cullen328 (talk) 01:38, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The Global Project Against Hate and Extremism is an active organisation founded by notable research leads, with more recent substantial reports than the comments above. Their work to date has had a profound effect for such a relatively new and small organisation. Premature deletion would be regrettable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.78.253.24 (talk) 16:00, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Deletion would not be a comment on the worthiness of the organisation, only on its notability. After all, we have articles about many bad people and bad organisations and we have no articles about huge numbers of good people and organisations. That said, if you are aware of any reliable coverage of this organisation, as an organisation, that might save the article then please let us know. DanielRigal (talk) 17:02, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    There is a profile piece by Bryan Wall in The Beacon titled "An Interview with Heidi Beirich of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism: 'We stand by our reporting'". Now cited in the History section of the page. 109.78.253.24 (talk) 11:41, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This seems to be an interview by a blogging site. Blogs are, in general, not reliable sources. They can sometimes be used to cite simple facts, but don't help with establishing notabiltiy, and as a result, not with this Deletion discussion. Please understand that we are not trying to do a "premature deletion". I personally find the work this org does to be very valuable, and am hopeful and, by current trajectory, optimistic that they will evantually become notable enough to have this article re-created. Such things are not unusual. However, we can't make exceptions for things we may be sympathetic towards, our policy must apply to all equally. –LordPeterII (talk) 15:00, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the argument that Wikipedia could and should have multiple articles on individual reports of this org (from a quick look at least two reports are uncontroversially notable) rather than one article on the org and its work seems unpersuasive. It would be nonsensical make-work to require two (or more) less comprehensive articles in its stead. A band with multiple album reviews should not have its page deleted on the grounds that it should have multiple articles for each notable album but no parent article. If anything it would make more sense to merge the album articles to a parent article.
    I also think that nearly all the many media reports noticing this org tell their readers what the org is. This is by definition non-trivial, not a listing, not a passing mention. To discount it because it may be to a greater or lesser extent “brief” seems tortuous when the rest of the article gets on with detailing the org’s work.
    Thinking of other ways to include this info, a redirect to a new section of, say, the notable Heidi Beirich seems unsatisfactory because she is only a co-founder of the org …and Wikipedia has no page for her in any case. 78.18.239.47 (talk) 13:55, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment on relisting: It seems unnecessary. Four longstanding editors (counting the AFD nominator), each with thousands or tens of thousands of edits, all gave delete arguments citing relevant policies and/or evaluating the sources. Two IP's participated, which is welcome and appropriate. Anyone is welcome here if they bring relevant new information or present arguments aligning with Wikipedia policy. I find the keep votes unpersuasive in light of Wikipedia policy. They substantially amount to WP:INHERITED claims for Notability, misunderstanding of passing mention, and the like. This organization may well be doing good things, it may well pass the inclusion criteria to have a Wikipedia article in the future, but unfortunately it doesn't currently satisfy WP:Notability. I welcome anyone else who wishes to respond here, but I would suggest that the current response is sufficient for a consensus result even if the relisting brings no one new. Alsee (talk) 08:20, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The relister probably has a few edits too. Among deletion opiners, LordPeterII considers the Irish Times piece a fine source for our purposes, so perhaps he also misunderstands, or you do, or opinions differ. 78.18.234.190 (talk) 20:03, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I stand by my vote, as one source is not enough. WP:SIRS contains an example of a neat "source assessment table" (which I don't have energy to create here), which illustrates more visually the issue: Yes, the Irish Times is usable here imo, but almost anyone you ask would say significant coverage or multiple sources do not imply one suffices. We would need, in my personal opinion, at least three sources of the quality of the Irish Times, which means two are lacking. I am quite optimistic that in the future, these lacking sources will eventually appear, and the article will eventually be re-instated (at least I hope that, there's no certainty about the future). So yes, opinions differ. The relist didn't hurt though, and the closing editor needs to evaluate the strength of arguments anyway. –LordPeterII (talk) 10:32, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I added links under my keep which I think rise to the same standard. 78.18.253.136 (talk) 01:49, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I checked these. Reliable sources certainly, but still only passing mentions. They discuss an issue, quote people, and then briefly mention GPAHE. If I had a discussion with my friend, who'd at some point say "... oh yes, and the report is from Global Project against Hate and Extremism, check them out if you like. Anyway, as I was saying ..." I wouldn't tell others that my friend was talking about GPAHE primarily or extensively (not sure if this allegory is the best, but eh). Mentioning twice or even just once that an organization exists does not suffice, even if some of their products, reports, or members are discussed. But I think we must agree to disagree here, and leave the decision to the closing admin. –LordPeterII (talk) 18:55, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here I have come across a new low in edit comments, with the whole section on the Monon added with the following note: "Added more info. Mostly hearsay from men and women who were at there at the time." The section on the railroad museum is also padding, as it is nowhere near Lee. Also in the edit comments is a citation to A Standard History of White County, Indiana from 1915, which on pp. 209-210 identifies the place as a post office and shipping point on the Monon; the writer records an aspiration of the place to develop beyond that, but given the date of publication I would want something later to record that expansion. As it is, we have a few houses sprinkled about with nothing else suggesting a town. Mangoe (talk) 19:42, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I think this might meet WP:GEOLAND? It's always difficult to assess that for a place that was never large, and then mostly abandoned for a long time. My search only yields this, but if that book "History and Reflections of Lee, Indiana" actually was published, it might give support to the claims on that page (Lee, Indiana, like so many throughout the state, died out when the rail lines stopped passenger service and closed depots), and might have been the source of some of the info in the article. I'm frankly unsure how to vote here (WP:GEOLAND has given me headaches before), so only leaving a comment. –LordPickleII (talk) 20:38, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It is unfortunate that the book is not online, but a preview by the State of Indiana government website regarding legacy projects does reference it and supports the statement: These stops became small towns complete with a depot, stores and early settlers.

  • Delete - Performed a newspapers.com search. This location is variously called Lee, Lee Station, and Lee's Station. Only coverage I can find is sporadic mentions in obituaries and railway news (e.g. "Man hit by train four miles from Lee Station"). There was apparently a "Lee M.E. church", but other than that, nothing new. Fails NGEO and GNG. -Indy beetle (talk) 05:11, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Certainly a post office, a rail station, and church [14][15] are a settlement/community, no? Even if somewhat abandoned? per Bass, Cotter (2020), The Treasure Hunter's Guide To INDIANA'S LOST & BURIED TREASURES: Plus GHOST TOWNS & HISTORIC SITES, BookRix, ISBN 9783748767732 Djflem (talk) 08:00, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, but not satisfying NGEO I think as "Populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG." I do not think there is enough SIGCOV. "Lee was place with a post office open from X to Y and had a rail depot and church" is hardly an article. -Indy beetle (talk) 09:21, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    As as NGEO NGEO says (see below), it's appropriate to redirect/merge. Djflem (talk) 11:46, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge (selective) to Monon Township, White County, Indiana per Wikipedia:NGEO If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the informal place should be included in the more general article on the legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it. and per Hamelle, W. H. (1915), A Standard History of White County, Indiana: An Authentic Narrative of the Past, with an Extended Survey of Modern Developments in the Progress of Town and Country, University of Wisconsin - Madison, p. 209, OAKDALE, OR LEE The only existing postoffice in Monon Township outside the village is Lee , in the northwest corner , about a mile from the Jasper County line on the Louisville , New Albany & Chicago (Monon) Railroad. and other.

    Keep per HEY (additions and improvements to article): satisfies GNG. Djflem (talk) 21:53, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:GEOLAND. There are certainly quite a few named "localities" in Indiana that in practice are not actually populated places in any reasonable sense, and it's good for those to be deleted. Lee, however, doesn't seem to fall into that category. For one thing, I notice it has multiple named streets of its own, something GNIS-spam non-towns generally don't and a good indication that it's a recognized populated place, presumably like any other existing ones with a town plat at the courthouse. (Most like the rightly deleted Pleasant Acres and others tend to be just indistinguishable points along county roads.) It also has documented history; for any small rural community it's to be expected that it'll be sparse, and no less so for Lee that for many others that we rightly retain. Though it's certainly small, Lee appears to be a legitimate town, and deleting it would be contrary to the guidance at GEOLAND: "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low." ╠╣uw [talk] 11:04, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    How is it "legally recognized"? It doesn't appear to have ever been incorporated. -Indy beetle (talk) 12:03, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    No, it's not incorporated (at least not that I'm aware of), but even under GEOLAND's guidelines for populated places without legal recognition it's still appropriate to retain the article, in that it has the characteristics and long-term historical indicators of a legitimate and extant (though small and unincorporated) town, and not just a non-notable GNIS/GEOnNS artifact. I support efforts to clean up Wikipedia by getting rid of the latter, but I favor keeping the former. ╠╣uw [talk] 14:34, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Legal recognition and incorporation are not one and the same thing by any means (the former being a poorly defined term Wikipedia term in a geographical context, bantered about for a long time). It's just that incorporated places get a "free pass to "wikinotablity" via NGEO. It's not even clear if townships in Indiana are incorporated, but they, too, get a "free pass". Djflem (talk) 15:43, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, I was wondering about the "legal recognition" phrase too since it seems a bit murky, and as you say it's not synonymous with incorporation. For things that are more than just "GNIS fluff" and for which at least a modicum of documentary and historical evidence exists in reliable sources, I think it's best to retain, and it seems like Lee's in that group. ╠╣uw [talk] 17:09, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I know there have been debates about what "legal recognition" entails. Incorporation is just an example of something that satisfies that. What kind of legal recognition are you talking about? Is there evidence that this is a CDP? -Indy beetle (talk) 00:15, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Appears we moved away from the unuseful debate about legal recognition, which is a non-defining term. What would be inappropriate about following the NGEO guidle line which suggests merge for "informal places"? Djflem (talk) 04:24, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Since GEOLANDS separates guidelines on the basis of legal recognition, it unfortunately seems like something we do still have to consider. Is being formally platted as a town something that would constitute a form of legal recognition? (If so, that's something I could probably verify.) ╠╣uw [talk] 14:41, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That might depend on who platted it. The town of Pembroke, North Carolina, for example, was platted by a real estate management subsidiary of the railway company which built a station there, several years before the town gained incorporation, so that lots could be sold to people and businesses who wanted to locate nearby. Private platting doesn't seem like "legal recognition". -Indy beetle (talk) 17:47, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - No actual evidence of legal recognition or significant coverage to meet GEOLAND or GNG. Despite its age, A Standard History of White County, Indiana (1915) is the best source we have; The Treasure Hunter's Guide To INDIANA'S LOST & BURIED TREASURES is self-published through Bookrix and many of its entries cite Wikipedia. With these old platted towns, it's often hard to parse whether or not they were ever actually developed, but it's telling that after 30 years of existence the 1915 source only mentions it as a post office instead of including it alongside the town of Monon/New Bradford. If there had been anything in Lee besides the post office and railroad shipping point, then surely the author would have said so. –dlthewave ☎ 17:30, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Conjecture about what and why a writer writes something or not is clearly not a AfD argument, is it? Twenty five years later still worthy of inclusion in this 1908 map. Unclear what is depicted in this 1920 map. Could it be the church, which goes unmentioned above, but certainly speaks to more than a PO or RR station? Djflem (talk) 18:03, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    No, the 1915 source doesn't say it was only a post office: "Oakdale, or Lee, is an important shipping point for hay. Hundreds of tons are baled at the station every year and shipped abroad, and, with the improvement of the surrounding farming lands, it has become an equally good point for the marketing and shipping of grain." (Multiple other sources also call out the grain market.) So we know it was at least a post office, railway station, grain market, and center for transportation of local bulk agricultural products including grain and hay. The town's roughly 120 lots were also laid out on multiple named streets, three of which are still there today. ╠╣uw [talk] 17:09, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I took a trip to the library (and explored more online) to look for additional supporting sources and found several more which I've added to the article. I actually wound up boldly rewriting a majority of the article text, not just to incorporate the new sources but also to flesh out the historical summary and geographical descriptions, correct some minor errors and misstatements, add a photo of the town, etc.

A few of the additional sources relate specifically to Lee and its history, features, status, etc. It's noted in Baker and Carmony's Indiana Place Names (1975) and in Baker's From Needmore to Prosperity (1995), which describes it as a village and grain market established by (and named for) ID&C Railroad President John Lee in 1883. The origins are also described by the Monon Railroad Historical Technical-Society (citation added). I note too that Hamelle's Standard History (previously cited) describes Lee as "an important shipping point for hay" as well as a local center for grain shipping and marketing; this point wasn't previously mentioned in the text but is now included. As I mentioned earlier I also wanted to find more plat-related details, and though I wasn't able to check the original records in Monticello I did find multiple volumes of official plat books in the library (published from 1990 through the early 2000s) that identify Lee as a town or village, rather than simply a point. I'll follow up with more details when I get the actual plat.

Some of the other newly-added sources touch only on related subjects in the article such as the history of the railroad that passes through town, the local geography, etc., and so aren't strictly relevant to this discussion; I included them while I was doing my update, though, just in the interest of strengthening the article overall.

(Note: Several of the reference citations I put in have overly length quotation blocks, something I did deliberately as a temporary aid to expanding and reviewing the article. These can and should be trimmed down once they've been reviewed.) ╠╣uw [talk] 16:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This appears to satisfy WP:GEOLAND inasmuch as this is a legally recognized place that is currently (and has historically been) populated, so WP:DEL-REASON#8 is off the table. The sourcing is substantial enough to write a brief encyclopedia entry, but this is not destined to be a permastub.

WP:N#1 requires that a subject meet either the general notability guideline... or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (emphasis added), so passing WP:GEOLAND is perfectly sufficient and does not require a GNG pass. That being said, this article also does pass GNG through coverage by multiple independent RS, including:
  1. [16] pp. 209-210, which describes the origin of the town
  2. [17], which per the Indiana Bicentennial Commission is a whole book on the history of Lee.

I'm unable to understand the first part of this comment, but I must explain that there is a trwiki side of this story as well. ZeusAmmon created the article of this subject on trwiki on 6 September, which was speedy deleted per M6 (similar to A7 of enwiki), then recreated by him the next day, then deleted again and salted as well. He took this to the talk page of the second patroller, where he called the patroller for violationg NPOV because... he didn't send the article to AfD but rather tagged it for CSD, which, you know, is a bit on the weird side of the argument spectrum. Once notified about this AfD, he proceeds to join in with an argument that is based on no enwiki policy (not even trwiki policy) whatsoever. Generally speaking, this is considered to be suspicious behavior, and a question realting to a conflict of interest is quite normal. ~StyyxTalk? 20:31, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Afd rule isn't different from the Turkish version and I don't understand why you're trying to associate some model and graphic designer with me. It looks like you're trying to manipulate community here. You should have send it to Afd at Turkish wiki, but obviously but you didn't because of with a ridiculous reason. Kadı accused me with typing at both wikis and association with her (which writing on both wikis isn't against the rules), but as i prove before I don't have Aya shalkar related edit. Kadı, can you explain me why you accusing people while people are able to check authorship of articles. And the thing i don't understand why are you guys keep coming here to answer me? It smells fishy :D. There's only one way to this gethering and it's a ban reason. So, be honest are you guys live puppeting/shadow puppeting each other? ZeusAmmon1 (talk) 21:35, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
AfD isn't different, but speedy deletion is. Trwikis M6 allows you to pretty much tag everything that doesn't have two sources (GNG pass), while enwikis A7 applies to only a set of limited articles that don't have a credible claim of significance. This would pass a trwiki M6, but not an enwiki A7. Why the two patrollers on trwiki went for CSD and not AfD is beyond my knowledge, but there is no such requirement of sending everything to AfD, and two seperate admins have deleted it. Being eligable for speedy deletion isn't a "ridiculous reason".
You do realize that this very edit of yours is an Aya Shalkar related edit, right? And that's the point here: you come to participate in an AfD discussion in a project where you have no idea as to how its deletion process works. ~StyyxTalk? 22:33, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can't find any evidence of notability. To date, he has played 9 minutes in a semi-pro league, which is not a valid claim to notability. Google News and a Russian source search have only trivial mentions of Kirillov. Does not appear to pass WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG as there appears to be an absence of significant coverage from reliable and independent sources.

  • Keep as this is the largest deaf youth organisation in Northern Ireland, and current sourcing satisfies WP:GNG and WP:NONPROFIT. Most in-depth coverage is the 2017 article in BelfastLive – although it includes quotes from two members from the charity, it is a lengthy piece which also includes many paragraphs of text written by reporter Sarah Scott. Other significant coverage includes two articles in Belfast Telegraph – one of which doesn’t count toward notability, as it’s contributed by co-founder Malachy McBurney, but the other focuses on a landmark report co-authored by the Northern Irish Deaf Youth Association (as Action Deaf Youth was previously known) which was presented to the Ministry of Education. The 2022 article in Larne Times is also helpful in providing a summary overview of the charity. Cielquiparle (talk) 12:54, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Although there is content on the page it is all unsourced. The page is quite unclear about what the article is about, claiming to be about Hermeticism, Theosophical, Rosicrucian, Aurobindonian, and New Age, but mostly only seeming to talk about Theosophy which is WP:FRINGE. I asked for help on the above pages and Sri Aurobindo but editors have indicated no interest in this page. The only talk page content is threads asking about notability [59]. It is a mess, and the unverifiable reflections and ideas are very debatable. At the very least needs WP:TNT to allow a new targetted page on whatever the subject should be. However, my research suggests that the Mental Plane is largely a sub element of Theosophical Cosmology and would be better treated in that subject as a whole, or as Blavatsky's cosmology rather than as a separate page.

I'm not a fan of "No consensus" but there seems to be a fundamental disagreement here about whether or not this subject passes WP:NACTOR because of work done since the last AFD in 2019. I see that many accounts supporting a Keep are fairly new editors but that doesn't allow me to completely disregard their opinions. This article can't be moved to Caylee Cowan as that article is admin-protected but a request can be made to WP:HISTMERGE the two articles and an admin handling article merges can consider the request.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria says:

    People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

    • If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

With the computer knowledge he learned, in 1996, Cai Haoyu, who was only 8 years old, made "Alien Envoy" by himself and won the second prize in the animation group of the National Computer Competition. Two years after winning the award, at the age of 10, he was elected as the "Little Academician" of the Chinese Academy of Juveniles with his professional knowledge in the computer field."

      The article notes from Google Translate: "Cai Haoyu, chairman of Mihayou, was born in a businessman family. Influenced by his parents, he had the gene for "doing business" since he was a child. When he was in junior high school, he was a little smart in Japan, he sold watches in high school. He opened an account to speculate in stocks when he was an adult. When he was in college, he could earn more than 300,000 a month. But doing business did not delay his studies. After graduating from Shanghai Jiaotong University with a master's degree, Cai Haoyu ran all the way on the road of entrepreneurship. In 2012, Cai Haoyu and two classmates from Shanghai Jiaotong University founded Mihayou, whose business mainly focuses on domestic animation mobile games, comics and other fields."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Cai Haoyu (Chinese: 蔡浩宇) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

That's good and all but I don't think they have made a "widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field". Futher the whole article reads like a cross between a promo and resume. Just having money and running a company is not notable. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 04:58, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A "widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field" is a quote from Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Any biography, a subsection of Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Additional criteria, which says:

People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included.

A person who does not meet these additional criteria may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability.

Cai Haoyu is notable under Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline and Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria.

While the article can be improved to be more neutral, Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required.

I'm not sure User:Dr vulpes. I've seen this happen a couple of times where, during an AFD, an article isn't just improved but changed, in one case, to be about a different subject. I'm not sure why editors can't wait for an AFD to close before making major changes or merging articles. I'll ping Sergecross73 to see what they think. Liz Read! Talk! 22:29, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe Cunard has done anything wrong - Ive many times in the past rewritten articles in efforts to keep poor/lazy deletion nominations. Not that this nom was either - it was a very good nomination for the articles original form. Honestly, I'm probably more of a "neutral" in all this right now. Cunard did address my main concerns...but at the same time, it's still a pretty rough bio. Which isn't to slight to Cunard either, I imagine the goal was merely do enough to keep the article, not write a comprehensive bio on the subject. And they didn't so much "change the subject" as much as they removed the off-topic stuff and added on-topic content.
Sorry, that's a lot of musing without a solution. Here's what we could try - maybe we relist it one more time, and I could leave a neutral note at WP:VG asking for more input because we're at a bit of a stalemate. WP:VG usually has a bunch of regulars that participate at AFD, and for whatever reason I was really the only one who jumped on this time. A nudge could help. Sergecross73 msg me 22:46, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have substantially rewritten articles at AfDs numerous times in the past too. I did so in this particular case because two editors (Sergecross73 and Jumpytoo) said they were willing to reconsider their "merge" position if the article was reframed to be about the person rather than the company he founded. Per Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required, there is more work that can be done to expand and improve the article, but I think it is in a good state now. There are detailed sections about the subject's "Early life" and "Career". The article no longer has multiple paragraphs about the company with little discussion of him.

No editors have explained why the sources are insufficient for Cai Haoyu to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline and Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria. The AfD has received sufficient input to be closed and it's not clear why this needs to be relisted. But if the AfD is relisted, I support a neutral note at WP:VG asking for more input.

  • Comment: There is already a longstanding redirect at Conway Library to the Courtauld article. AllyD (talk) 07:20, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete: I have extended the article text a bit and added references, but am unconvinced these add up to demonstrating specific notability for this collection and particularly for the unreferenced list of those whose photographs are collected there. The existing Conway Library redirect to The_Courtauld_Institute_of_Art#Study_resources lands at a paragraph about this and the Witt Collection. I am inclined to think that is sufficient, but I also see TheLongTone's case for the photographer list (albeit unreferenced), which (veering towards WP:CRYSTAL / WP:ITSUSEFUL) could become more relevant when the digital images go online.

Happy to share PDF of that to anyone who can't figure out how to get it themself. The collection has almost a million photos; btw it includes T.E. Lawrence's photos of Arabia. Story of Martin Conway ( (1856–1937), Lord Conway of Allington, first director general of Imperial War Museum) who began collecting it in 1885, partly as "one of his interests was of photography as a record of buildings that might suffer war damage" also interesting.

I've tried to find sources to verify that this war actually occurred and I'm frankly not able to. As such, even if this is not a hoax, I believe that this war has not been covered significantly by multiple independent reliable sources and therefore fails WP:NEVENT. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 05:52, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Revising my reasons: the source cited in the article has been used elsewhere, so it's plausible that these events did take place (Nalchik refers to the river Nalchik). However, there is so far only the same single source behind all non-RS tertiary references to these events so fails notability per WP:NEVENT. I am also concerned there may be OR in the framing of several events as part of a single "war". Surely, a war of months-long duration would have other sources attesting to it.OsFish (talk) 03:09, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep. This source, which is RS, says "Après la signature du traité de Passarowitz, le khan mena une expédition punitive contre la Kabarda (1720-21)." This source: "In Spring 1720, Sa'adet-Giray Khan camped on the border of Greater Kabarda..." and "the Crimean Khanate ... together with Nogays, raided Circassian lands in 1710-1717 and 1720". I'm convinced it's not a hoax, so unless the cited article is bogus... I need more evidence that it is truly non-notable. Article should probably be re-titled. Srnec (talk) 01:00, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Both those sources are footnotes. One does not tie any battle in 1721 to events in 1720 and basically exists to say that the source material it comments on is probably confused over the identity of two different leaders, which seems a little worrying. The other does not describe any specific events in the time frame. The problem is in taking these events as a coherent whole as an article. OsFish (talk) 04:20, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The title is tosh, but the 1721 invasion is listed in ru:Крымско-ногайские набеги на Кабарду. Keep and rename. Ghirla-трёп- 11:16, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • P.S. Most conflicts in Category:Wars involving the Circassians are also poorly documented and need reviewing. Ghirla-трёп- 11:26, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      Thanks for tracking that down. I noticed that in that Russian page, the claim is also sourced to "Мальбахов Б. К. "Кабарда на этапах политической истории (середина XVI — первая четверть XIX века), Москва, «Поматур», 2002 г. ISBN 5-86208-106-2". There appears to be some disagreement about this as a source, with this edit, albeit from an IP, claiming it's not RS, although there's no talkpage discussion about it. So we may want to be cautious here. What's also notable is in that Russian page, there isn't a coherent "war" listed from 1720-1721. There it says a small-scale battle ("бой") near the River Nalchik takes place in 1721. So I am concerned that the time frame of the article may be WP:OR. I'm not sure that the battle in 1721 by itself is notable. I'd need to see more than one reliable source mention it (especially as I'm not sure how accurately the text of this article reflects the Mal'bakhov source). Or, the article title needs to be changed to reflect the general Crimean Tatar campaign.OsFish (talk) 06:16, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      It's hard to find non-partisan, reliable sources on the subject. Circassians tend to blow their anti-Turkic military campaigns out of proportion, while Balkars, Karachays and other Turkic authors tend to deny that Turkic incursions into North Caucasus ever took place. See Kanzhal War (1708) for one example. That said, Malbakhov seems to be a reasonably well respected historian. Ghirla-трёп- 14:50, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      It would really help if @A poor son of Adam: could provide us with quotations from the Mal'bakhov source, particularly where these events are unified under a single title like the "Nalchik war". This may help to determine how widespread this historical framing of events is. As it stands, I'm inclined to delete on notability grounds, but am open to how notability is applied to poorly document historical events like this. My reading of WP:NEVENT is that it fails.OsFish (talk) 01:59, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- There is still only one reference listed in the article itself. I cleaned up the references in the article to make that more apparent. As for the other sources proposed by srnec, the posted excerpts don't seem like more than mention of raids, skirmishes, or small battles, which may have been worthy of comment about some larger scenario. But to me, they don't show evidence that this was anything that is in-and-of-itself notable enough. I wouldn't mind renaming it if a suitable title could be found and if the possible OR could be better documented. Radzy0 (talk) 23:45, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The argument that started this is "this didn't happen and if it did it wasn't important".

Insufficient significant coverage located on a search using "music box" + Topologika in order to reduce noise.

I stumbled on this article during a voice call at WP:Discord. I'm pretty sure it's a hoax article.
Per Geni, the Person who created this article later got blocked for fabricating sources (See AN/I thread). There is no evidence of this term being used before October 2004. On the talk page, Brian Kendig mentioned it isn't a term used in the fandom (which a YouTuber friend of mine confirmed for me fwiw). OberRanks claimed D.C. Fontana used the term in the 1960s to describe Leonard McCoy's backstory, but that is a claim I find doubtful given the user's history of fabricating sources.
If the article is referring to licensed non-canon Star Trek media, then we have Star Trek spin-off fiction. If it's for a list of notable fan works, then we have Star Trek fan productions.

  • Delete As far as I can tell, this is a hoax article. The mention of D.C Fantana using it in the 1960s seems factitious and is unverifiable. Any contemporary usage of the term seems intrinsically linked to the former Star Wars Expanded Universe (now known as Legends), usually in the form of parallels between how the two franchises handled third party licensed (and unlicensed) published materials.

  • Delete. The article discusses nothing more than the difference between canon and non-canon. The owners of the Star Wars license (Disney) declared much non-canon Star Wars material to be incompatible with the direction they wanted to develop further stories, and that resulted in the Star Wars expanded universe which is rich in detail but conflicts with recent Star Wars movies and television series. Star Trek has not (yet) had a schism like this (even alternate Star Trek universes have been explored in canon). - Brian Kendig (talk) 14:08, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, appears to be a hoax, or egregious original research plus wishful thinking, which amounts to the same thing.

Vanamonde (Talk) 06:54, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Delete and) recreate as a disambiguation page: This article may have false facts, but I think the topic is valid: the term is used in a number of academic and non-academic sources. The term seems to be used in at least two meanings, though. The first is just what the introduction to our article here says. Just compare To Boldly Go and use "expanded universe" as search term. The second is fan stories for Star Trek, as exemplified by STAR TREK Expanded Universe Wiki (compare this and other sources). So basically Star Trek spin-off fiction and Star Trek fan productions, just as the nomination says. That's why I think this should be a disambiguation page to point the interested reader in the right direction about this actually existing term. Daranios (talk) 11:02, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Non of the academic and non-academic mentions pre-date the creation of the article, which seems to me to be a clear case of citogenesis. It is only an "actually existing term" because an unscrupulous and now blocked editor made it up. Retinalsummer (talk) 11:23, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Retinalsummer: "Non of the academic and non-academic mentions pre-date the creation of the article" seems to be true enough, however that does not make it "a clear case of citogenesis". E.g. this academic source goes back to the definition of extended universe rather than our Wikipedia article here, as well as drawing the parallel to the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and both those terms have been used before 2004. Most academic sources refer for the name to said STAR TREK Expanded Universe Wiki. This wiki seems to be younger than 2004, so it is possible that they have taken their name from the Wikipedia article. But that does not seem very likely to me in comparison the concept of expanded universe simply being applied to their fandom. Even if we were to assume that the name originated from our article here, it is out there and is used now. Why should this (hypothetical) unwanted Wikipedia-neologism-origin hinder us from documenting it now? Lastly, as it is not a false fact that is promulgated, but rather a new name for a concept, it seems to me that WP:Neologism would apply rather than WP:CITOGENESIS. (Aside from the one sentence, "The term was first used...", which seems likely a hoax, but is not take up by other sources, so no citogenesis there.) Curiously, I did not so far see any guidance for a case of a term created by Wikipedia in violation of WP:OR which became a real thing afterwards. Daranios (talk) 15:06, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    "Why should this (hypothetical) unwanted Wikipedia-neologism-origin hinder us from documenting it now?" I personally think this sort of thing makes Wikipedia look unreliable. I can't imagine continuing to use the term "Jewel Voice Broadcast" after it was shown to have originated on Wikipedia as a sloppy translation, for example. Some lazy academics also copied that term from Wikipedia, but it doesn't mean Wikipedia or more rigorous academics should use it. Retinalsummer (talk) 23:07, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Retinalsummer: Allright, then we should have some evidence or solid indication that indeed "Some lazy academics" "copied that term from Wikipedia" in this case, before acting on it. Said source has a valid explanation for getting to that term independent of Wikipedia, and as long as there is no indication that the authors are not among the "more rigorous academics", we should not place a hunch from our side above a secondary source. For the second use of the term, the work of the academic sources seems to be mainly in analyzing STAR TREK Expanded Universe Wiki. We should not ignore such analysis just because the name of that wiki may or may not have been taken from an erroneous Wikipedia article. Daranios (talk) 10:31, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals. Why is an article needed when there are no sources that could be used to make content. The only article of use is this. That sources talks about Ajay (his brother) and Vijay but more sources are needed on Vijay. The article was written by this user and have no idea where they got access to sources 1, 6 and 7, but based on the current article almost all of it (if not all of it) is original research that does not explain why he is notable.

2024 Formula One World Championship

This has been created then BLARed three times. I disagree with the BLAR as there is no suitable target, certainly Formula One makes no mention of 2024 except for mention of a tv rights deal. As for the article, it consists entirely of speculation based on existing long-term contracts, and no sources I can find discuss the season itself, but only speculation or articles about aspirations etc (eg [91] which may belong on team/biography articles but are not enough to warrant an article about this season). The season is simply too far away to support an article (noting that 2023 Formula One World Championship only left draftspace permanently in August). So I think deletion or draftification is suitable here (and not redirection). A7V2 (talk) 01:27, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – Evidently no reason for creation. Also support SALTing the article until mid-2023. 5225C (talk • contributions) 02:11, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and SALT until some time next year - Simply WP:TOOSOON for an article on a subject about which far too little information exists for it to meet the WP:GNG. If for some unexpected reason the subject becomes notable earlier than might be expected then a request can be made to the admins to unsalt the page. All this article would be likely to do for the next few months is attract speculative edits or information better suited for other articles (ie. contract information can go on driver biographies). HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 03:24, 13 September 2022 (UTC) Neutral on whether this should redirect to Formula One#Future. Since this season falls in the middle of a planned regulation cycle there is particularly little to say about it until closer to the time, but the redirect isn't inherently unhelpful. 2026 Formula One World Championship would make more sense as a protected redirect to Formula One#Future. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 05:24, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • BLAR to Formula One#Future and Fully Protect the redirect until mid-2023. 2024 is not all that far off, and it seems reasonable to believe that people will search for information on the 2024 season. In my view it is more helpful to redirect readers to useful information about the future plans of Formula One, presumably why they would search for such a topic, than to entirely delete the redirect. Additionally, Draftify the existing article content (this should also be done if the page is deleted and SALTed as proposed by User:HumanBodyPiloter5). ostensibly singular userpage (inquire within) 03:46, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I have Redirected this page once, you lot keep bringing it back, simply put, it needs to go. NASCAR has a policy where they don't do anything for the next years page until about August of the year current, so for example they wouldn't allow a 2023 Page until August because most deals and the calendar is released from August onwards. F1 is a global sport, much bigger than NASCAR, and frankly if we can't even get this right, and allow pages two years early, then we are really ruining ourselves. Think about what I've just said, and maybe lets implement a system for pages where they can only be applied in August of the current year, otherwise, we just get too many pages to manage, and there's no explicit reason for them to be there ConcordeAAIB (talk) 05:02, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, ConcordeAAIB, I am unsure who your statement is intended to be addressing. I don't disagree with your broader reasoning, I just find the phrasing somewhat confusing. The only contributor to this discussion who has "brought the page back" from being a redirect is the user who nominated the page for discussion. Am I missing something? HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 05:14, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Who are you referring to? And why do we need to think about what you've just said when we're all in agreement? Indeed, three of us have supported SALTing. 5225C (talk • contributions) 06:25, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I restored the article not because I think that it is an article which should be kept (as should be clear from me nominating it for deletion) but because I disagree with the BLAR(s) since I don't think it is a suitable redirect (and probably it should never have been BLARed even a second time but taken to AFD when it was restored). WP:BLAR suggests AFD is the place to sort these matters out. I firmly oppose the above suggested redirect target of Formula One#Future as there is no mention of the 2024 season in that section. I have no particular opinion on whether to salt. It is probably unnecessary since the article has never been recreated out of process: anyone is free to revert a BLAR, and a draftify result here makes it much clearer that this shouldn't be recreated, but maybe that's just wishful thinking. A7V2 (talk) 07:40, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, I had completely missed that you had restored the article from a redirect just to nominate it at AfD. That to me seems confusing and quite ridiculous. Why would you have not just left it BLARed and listed it at WP:RfD instead? Reverting the redirect back to an article just to nominate it for AfD makes no sense, and in this case has only ended up distracting discussion participants with answering the question of "should the article exist" (upon which it seems the answer is no, otherwise it would not have been previously BLARed) when the question the discussion ought to have been focusing on was "should this redirect to anywhere" upon which there is some clear division, but not a clear consensus (yet) since that's not what we were asked. Maybe I'm missing something about some obscure technicality in the processes, but if you don't think an article should exist, why would you put it back just to point out how it shouldn't exist? That seems rather counterintuitive and silly. Though at this point that toothpaste is out of the tube in this particular case, so whatever.
Maybe I'm totally off the mark with this comment and reverting a BLAR to start an AfD is a completely normal thing to do, in which case my opinion on it can be disregarded and I'd much appreciate being educated. Ignore this everyone, I'm a dumbass. ostensibly singular userpage (inquire within) 10:21, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • From WP:BLAR: If editors cannot agree, the content issues should be discussed at the relevant talk page, and other methods of dispute resolution should be used, such as restoring the article and nominating the article for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. 5225C (talk • contributions) 10:36, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, I see. Thank you. Striking this comment. ostensibly singular userpage (inquire within) 10:38, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Formula One#Future. This is WP:TOOSOON to create a page considering the 2023 season has not even started yet and the 2022 season is still in progress. Due to persistent edit-warring, I would also support page protection of this redirect until 1 July 2023 (and no later than that date). Frank Anchor 18:55, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Way WP:TOOSOON, this is a series of contracts. WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOTDATABASE apply here, as listing these contracts is unencylopedic in nature, until we get closer to this contracts actually being in force. I also oppose a redirect (perhaps even strongly oppose) as Formula One#Future doesn't discuss this season in any way, shape or form. SSSB (talk) 19:08, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: There is no point in keeping the article now.--Island92 (talk) 09:58, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I think we can all agree that the page should be deleted. However, there are two issues to further discuss here. First, I felt that the 2023 page was created too late, and should've been created earlier. Second, those suggesting a redirect to Formula One#Future, that section, firstly contains details that's already happened, and second should be updated to discuss long term driver contracts, the calendar expansion etc. etc. Phoenix84621 (talk) 19:03, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That being the case, I strongly support adding that missing information, and maintain my previous opinion that the page should be redirected to Formula One#Future and fully protected for a limited time to prevent further page re-creation and edit warring. ostensibly singular userpage (inquire within) 21:58, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Oppose the addition of contracts to Formula One#Future. The scope of this section is to outline the planned evolution of the series, and it would constitute a database (which Wikipedia is not) to list contracts there simply because the relevant season article does not exist.

The nom has made 12 deletion nominations in 10 minutes, so I doubt they have done a very through WP:BEFORE. This being an independently accredited degree-awarding institution, the community's experience, as summarized by WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, shows that most such institutes have enough coverage to be notable, although that coverage may not be readily available online. I don't speak the language, but an online news search does show some promise, and local print newspapers might have more.
