This former athlete biography article has one dead-link reference, one external link to the player's statistics. After further searching, I am unable to find additional sources to establish notability. It is missing Encyclopedia biography information such as Early life, Career information since 2013, Personal life, Achievements and honours (if any). Created on 27 July 2011.

  • Keep - clearly notable, this confirms 54 appearances in England's professional football league. Decent amount of coverage online, such as this and this, COMMONSENSE says there will be more offline given this guy was active 30 years ago...a bad nomination where no BEFORE has been performed. GiantSnowman 20:54, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Per the many points made by GiantSnowman above. I also found [1] and [2], Article needs Improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 21:14, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The Gazette article is a match report and clearly routine coverage. The Times article seems to be a passing mention but I don't have access to the full article. The Times article is a passing mention. The articles I found at Newspapers.com and ProQuest are all passing mentions like match reports unless I'm mistaken. If there's significant offline coverage surely some would show up there? Robby.is.on (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Article fails WP:GNG (I can only find routine coverage like match reports and a brief note about his argument with manager John Sitton). He played a total of three seasons in the third and fourth tier of English football, among which only the 1992–93 season was a successful one for Leyton Orient. I don't see any indication that he attracted much attention during his playing career, and certainly nothing after it ended. Jogurney (talk) 15:17, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. WP:COMMONSENSE tells me that there isn't much likelihood that this career lower league player gained any notability at all. Alvaldi (talk) 14:01, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This has been a stub article since 2012, if someone wanted to fix it up they could. But why say keep when all you have is an infobox and one single sentence. Unless it was expanded to a decent agree and I agree it could be a keep article if done up. However there is nothing there. At the moment I side with the delete voters unless someone decides to create something here. Govvy (talk) 09:06, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep'. I added several references, including a replacement for the broken one. He's probably notable both as a player and as a coach/manager. One of the references is from the Daily Mail, which normally isn't a reliable source, but I reached it from Ebscohost. I suspect that the Daily Mails sports coverage is generally reliable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:10, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Unfortunately, all of the references Eastmain added to article except for the article by the The Sunday Times are match reports and transfer announcements (coaching appointments) and therefore routine coverage. The articles I found at Newspapers.com and ProQuest are also passing mentions like match reports. I had hoped the Sunday Times article would have more but it turns out it is about "fly-on-the-wall documentaries" with the only mention of Lakin being "First, the co-manager John Sitton sacked his friend, the long-serving defender Terry Howard. Then, he offered to fight players Barry Lakin and Mark Warren". The bottom line is: There is no WP:SIGCOV for this lower-league player and coach. Robby.is.on (talk) 11:02, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I agree with Robby.is.on that the newly added sources do not come close to significant coverage. These are routine transactional coverage or match reports that often mention Lakin only once. I appreciate the effort, but I don't see how it gets the article in compliance with the GNG. Jogurney (talk) 12:44, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I believe there is enough there and more out there.KatoKungLee (talk) 19:37, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Perfectly valid stub, not every source in the article meets WP:GNG but enough do, and sources will be hard to search for anyways due to being quasi-pre-internet. SportingFlyer T·C 19:56, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer: not every source in the article meets WP:GNG but enough do Which ones? Robby.is.on (talk) 21:43, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Eh, most of them are non-league. I'm still surprised he's been covered comprehensively and routinely for non-league stuff but we can't find a single source on him during his Leyton Orient days. Common sense would say that this would be easily sourced if he had played twenty years later. SportingFlyer T·C 22:10, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how the coverage could possibly be described as "comprehensive". All references in the article are extremely short, barely going beyond "Lakin has agreed to take over as manager at <club>". Robby.is.on (talk) 22:20, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's not comprehensive in the sense any one individual article is particularly comprehensive, but rather that in terms of non-league he would frequently be written about routinely. It's just frustrating - I don't have the ability to search for 1990s era sources or to even check which teams he scored against in the league, whereas now with the loss of the SNGs we have minor league baseball players who easily pass GNG even though they've accomplished nothing sporting (this is just a rant you can ignore.) It's clearly been an untended garden for a long time looking at the history, but I'm surprised a player in the old Division Two would never have been covered significantly, and the fact it's been in such poor shape for a long time reflects either that there's nothing out there or that pre-internet sources can be difficult to find. At worst, we should redirect to a list of Leyton Orient players, since we can WP:V the fact he played for them. SportingFlyer T·C 23:14, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how complete Newspapers.com and ProQuest are but as mentioned above they threw up quite a few match reports but zero SIGCOV. (You can get access to both Newspapers.com and ProQuest through Wikipedia Library.) We're lucky to have these resources for English players, many other countries don't have archives like that at all which results in articles of players being deleted with record number of appearances or goals for their national teams. Robby.is.on (talk) 23:32, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just did. There's 40 results for ""barry lakin" orient" and it's all match reports and brief mentions of transfers (example: "Midfielder Barry Lakin, who scored Saturday's match winner against Bromsgrove in the third round, has had his loan spell from Leyton Orient extended for another two months"). There's 14 results for ""barry lakin" chelmsford" – same. There's one for ""barry lakin" helsinki" which does not mention a move to Finland for Lakin suggesting he never played for HJK contrary to what our article claims. Robby.is.on (talk) 00:48, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, I don't know why people are adverse to match reports, they do help a lot. That's part of the sport. That's why I haven't really done a proper vote, I see this one down the middle a probable no-consensus. Govvy (talk) 12:24, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You cannot write an article based on ten "Lakin scored the second goal in the 72th minute"s. Robby.is.on (talk) 12:57, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, there are thousands of articles of top level footballers that simply are sourced with signing, match reports and stat mirrors. :/ Govvy (talk) 13:29, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's a different problem. Those footballers don't lack SIGCOV like Lakin does. Robby.is.on (talk) 14:30, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, agreed with Jogurney and Robby about the lack of non-routine, SIGCOV, IRS sources. GNG is not met, and there is zero presumption of offline sources existing accorded to footballers now that NFOOTY is deprecated. JoelleJay (talk) 00:46, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been tagged as unreferenced for eight and a half years. There is no indication of notability directly addressed in the article–much of the article is devoted to a unreferenced description of a minor local religious figure. The only coverage found during my WP:BEFORE came from the local Catholic diocese and some seminaries noting that their students ended up as ministers at the church. As best I can tell, the most notable and verifiable fact about this church is that it has a rather pleasant modern edifice. ~ Pbritti (talk) Pbritti (talk) 20:49, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Potentially fails WP:V and WP:GNG. We know that Jarvis Island has no inhabitants so I can't see how they could put together a football team!

I'm not sure a "list of people who are conservative" is tenable. For one, often calling someone a conservative is using your own judgment, as opposed to something that's a fact like endorsing Trump or being a registered Republican. This list has many cases - Mike Love denies being a conservative, yet he is on this list. Chris Pratt says he isn't either, yet he is on this list. They could be conservative to you, but it's not a fact. We have people who are apparently conservative because they endorsed a Republican (Adam Sandler), in some cases many years ago, which doesn't make you conservative on its own. And unlike lists of people who endorsed someone in a certain year, we can't be certain thes have all aged well. Vera Miles endorsed Eisenhower in 1956, is that proof she is conservative right now? Or even was then? --Quiz shows 19:52, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A list that includes a staunchly anti-religious libertarian like Frank Zappa; a QAnon proponent like Jim Caviezel; the Biden-endorsing Dwayne Johnson; the Soviet dissident Andrei Tarkofsky; the Democrat-turned-anticommunist Walt Disney; the pro-FDR, anti-McCarthy, eventually pro-Nixon John Ford; both Chopin and Kid Rock; etc., etc...

The footnote on Vanilla Ice says "he claims to be apolitical," the footnote on Alice Cooper says he "has described himself as extremely non-political," but they are still both listed here as conservatives.

WP:SALAT, I can't find good numbers for the total number of fossil mammal species, but to give an example, in the Miocene, an 18 million year time period, there are over 4,500 described mammal species.[4] Given that the history of mammals spans 200 million years 66 of which they have been the dominant terrestrial vertebrates, the total number is likely well over 10,000, which given the number of new mammal species described every year (see 2022 in paleomammalogy for an example) seems entirely unmaintainable.

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Lists-related deletion discussions. --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 08:47, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Split The current scope is unmanageable in both temporal and categorical dimensions. This should be split into separate lists - I would suggest by taxon rather than period, since we already have a few of those; e.g., List of extinct cetaceans, List of extinct rodents. This could be done for other extant high-order clades for which we do not yet have lists. Note that this is not required for fossil-only taxa (say, Deltatheroida) because the main article invariably already contains that list. Note also that this demonstrates that this catch-all list duplicates plenty of existing content, which is to be avoided. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:00, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I agree that creating a number of smaller lists is a good idea (per Elmidae. This list could then become a list-of-lists, helping readers to navigate to the appropriate specific list. My feeling is that "What extinct mammals existed in prehistoric times?" is exactly the sort of question an intelligent school-kid might ask, and it's our job as an encyclopaedia to do everything we can to help them find an answer. The topic is good, but the current approach could be vastly improved. Elemimele (talk) 12:42, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Category:Prehistoric mammals exist. Give ideas perhaps on how to sort it into smaller list. Wikipedia exist as an encyclopedia and an Wikipedia:ALMANAC, and size doesn't matter, WP:NOTPAPER. Dream Focus 12:59, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - does it need work? Yes. does it qualify for deletion? No way. "Impossible to maintain" is a personal judgment. Just because you don't personally want to maintain it or think it's bad doesn't mean it should be zoinked. leaving out shabby incomplete lists as bait to annoy autistic people and thus lure them into our trap ("ill just make these 12,582 little fixes and then get back my chores") is Wikipedia's stock in trade jengod (talk) 16:34, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Though a split of some kind seems right, this is never going to be a definitive list, so another option might be to pare it down to "notable" prehistoric mammals (which still might need to be split per Elmidae); "notable" being perhaps those species with a significant research record vs those whose info was recorded but then never studied in depth. Something that brings the topic down into the WP:SALAT range. - - UtherSRG (talk) 19:11, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep/Split and convert to list of lists. Definitely meets WP:NLIST. More importantly, the scope of prehistoric mammals is much narrower than prehistoric insects or plants, so we can rein it in and avoid running afoul of WP:SALAT. (Ideally we'll come up with solutions to those as well one day, but that's beside the point) This list is already in sections so it's doing well with regard to SALAT. I think some level of notability (blue links only, or blue links plus red links with SIGCOV but no article, etc) could possibly help as well. —siroχo 22:20, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete‎. When policy changes it can be hard to find a clear consensus because it takes a while for wide acceptance of the new standards to bed in and its not helped by votes that assert a gng pass but don’t provide context of which sources pass and why. Here we have the benefitnof a detailed source analysis but its in the delete side and has not been refuted. The evidence is that the gng is not met so that gives us the outcome.

Looking at the Latvian sources, the first is straight from his football club Red XN; the second is a transactional piece with a bit more info than that provided in the referenced press release, but still hardly non-routine SIGCOV Red XN; the third is another piece from his club Red XN. Govvy SportingFlyer Are there other Latvian language sources y'all are counting? Because a single transfer announcement is most certainly not enough for GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 00:06, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay: There are weak hits here and there all over the place from a some obscure ones from Italy back to Latvia, one example, you can goto a news service like diena.lv and pick up some hits. la.lv have some weak hits, but not very good ones. ir.lv doesn't do sports as far as I am aware. There is a difference between the local newspapers in per regions in Latvia to the national ones. Up to you how you want to vote. But from what I've seen online, it's a weak keep for me, and the reason why I side with Keep is partly what SportingFlyer said. It's rare for a Latvian player to go abroad for football and Zelenkovs played in Italy, although in a youth setup. And now he is called up to their international team. You're just seeing the black and white and not the bigger picture from my point of view. Govvy (talk) 09:38, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think the second source is fine. The third source is from the Latvian federation, not a club. There are other additional sources out there as well - it's not as if this is the entirety of the information. SportingFlyer T·C 10:16, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Latvian federation is still a governing sports organization and so does not count as independent. JoelleJay (talk) 15:59, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah ok I thought you guys were just referring to the sources on the Latvian wiki. I don't really see why it matters where he's from if he doesn't receive SIGCOV...? The diena.lv hits all just seem like routine match reports. My own searches in Cyrillic didn't return much at all, and I only got transfer announcements and match recaps from 46.lv and Sportazinas.

      The article notes: "Playing a loveable down-and-out who becomes a kind of hero to local children he meets in an inner city wilderness was a nice change for Peter McNamara – he's usually a tough guy or a villain. ... The only problem with his new role is that he had to shoot several scenes with horses and as an asthma sufferer he is allergic to them. ... Oasis, the new 10-part children's series made by Carlton, is written by Barry Purchase, who wrote Tucker's Luck and much of Grange Hill. McNamara stars as a rodeo clown who resigns in protest against cruelty and later rescues some of the animals with the idea of setting up a city farm."

      The article notes: "Appealing to the even younger was Oasis (ITV, 4.40) a ten-parter about a piece of wasteland in South London which the kids call The Jungle and which has been illegally fenced off by the council until the arrival of Posh Robert (John Simms) a well-educated drop-out. He and drifter Jimmy (Peter McNamara) team up to fight off the council and local villain, Bob Bulger (Bill Stewart) a Faginesque-character who recruits local kids to carry out petty crimes. I hope this series will be popular with children because the plot seems plausible and city-kids can at least identify with the problem of having nowhere safe to play. Some of the older cast members do seem to be overacting, however, a fault I've noticed before in children's productions. Kids are far quicker at detecting a baddie or the untrustworthy than many adults, so snarling a lot just looks daft."

Otherwise it's a form of WP:BIO1E (where the "one event", for which the person is notable, is their birth; Or perhaps death of a parent).

WP:OR WP:UNSOURCED WP:CROSSCAT of language family (Slavic languages) and geography (countries where the majority of the population is a native speaker of a language which belongs to the Slavic langue family). These are then linked to an arbitrary group of nationality-based diaspora articles, ethnicity-based diaspora articles, and diaspora articles which are a mix of nationality and ethnicity. For the sake of argument, I will assume that "ethnic Belarusian" etc. means "a native speaker of Belarusian", and therefore a native speaker of a Slavic language. Under that interpretation, all nationality-based articles shouldn't be in this DP, because that includes all people with Belarusian nationality, regardless of what their native language is. E.g. Lithuanians in Belarus who move to, say, Karakalpakstan, are part of the nationality-based "Belarusian diaspora", but not the ethnicity-based "Belarusian diaspora". But even if we purge it all and only keep the purely ethnicity-based diaspora articles, there is a long series of precedents which have confirmed that language family is a WP:NONDEFINING WP:CROSSCAT.

Follow-up to long series of precedents, including but not limited to the deletion (or merging/renaming) of:

Some related ongoing discussions:

Examination whether each article is nationality-based, ethnicity-based, or a mix

Slavic diaspora may refer to any of the following diasporas of Slavs:

  • Belarusian diaspora: The Belarusian diaspora refers to emigrants from the territory of Belarus as well as to their descendants.
    • Conclusion: Nationality-based.
  • Bosnian diaspora: The Bosnian diaspora consists of Bosnian emigrants of all ethnicities and their descendants. Bosnians clarifies: As a common demonym, the term Bosnians refers to all inhabitants/citizens of the country, regardless of any ethnic, cultural or religious affiliation.
    • Conclusion: Nationality-based.
  • Bosniak diaspora: redirects to Bosniaks, which are a South Slavic ethnic group
    • Conclusion: Ethnicity-based.
  • Bulgarian diaspora: Map of the Bulgarian diaspora in the world (includes people with Bulgarian ancestry or citizenship).
    • Conclusion: Both, so it includes non-ethnic Bulgarians.
  • Croatian diaspora: The Croatian diaspora (...) consists of communities of ethnic Croats and/or Croatian citizens living outside Croatia.
    • Conclusion: Both, so it includes non-ethnic Croats.
  • Czech diaspora The Czech diaspora refers to both historical and present emigration from the Czech Republic, as well as from the former Czechoslovakia and the Czech lands (including Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia).
    • Conclusion: Nationality-based.
  • Macedonian diaspora: Macedonian diaspora in the world (includes people with Macedonian ancestry or citizenship).
    • Conclusion: Both, so it includes non-ethnic Macedonians.
  • Polish diaspora: The Polish diaspora comprises Poles and people of Polish heritage or origin who live outside Poland.
    • Conclusion: Both, so it includes non-ethnic Poles.
  • Russian diaspora: The Russian diaspora is the global community of ethnic Russians.
    • Conclusion: Ethnicity-based.
  • Serbian diaspora: Serbian diaspora refers to Serbian emigrant communities in the diaspora. The existence of a numerous diaspora of Serbian nationals is mainly a consequence of either economic or political (coercion or expulsion) reasons.
    • Conclusion: Nationality-based.
  • Serb diaspora Serb diaspora (Serbian: Српска дијаспора/Srpska dijaspora) refers to the diaspora communities of ethnic Serbs. It is not to be confused with the Serbian diaspora, which refers to migrants, regardless of ethnicity, from Serbia.
    • Conclusion: Ethnicity-based.
  • Ukrainian diaspora The Ukrainian diaspora comprises Ukrainians and their descendants who live outside Ukraine around the world, especially those who maintain some kind of connection to the land of their ancestors and maintain their feeling of Ukrainian national identity within their own local community. A bit unclear, mixed, but mostly ethnicity-based. On the other hand, Ukrainian diaspora#Spain notes: According to official Spanish statistics, there are 112,728 Ukrainians in Spain as of late 2019, being the 11th biggest foreign nationality found in Spain. So this is about nationality again. Meanwhile, the article contains the phrase "ethnicity" 6 times and "nationality" 5 times, both mostly in the references.
    • Conclusion: So this is another mix of ethnicity-based and nationality-based diaspora.
Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:55, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see how one can infer it from the link to the article Ukrainians, but the quoted lead text from Ukrainian diaspora actually does not mention ethnicity at all. It merely says “Ukrainians”, a term that my dictionary doesn’t define by ethnicity either: “a native or inhabitant of Ukraine, or a person of Ukrainian descent.”  —Michael Z. 14:55, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete In addition to the arguments above all Slavs except some Poles or Belarusians are technically 'Slavic diaspora' as they are 'scattered across regions which are separate from [their] geographic place of origin'. --Nk (talk) 06:28, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I’m not opposing, but the rationale is not sound, because it relies on artificially narrow definitions based on ethnicity, a concept introduced by the nomination and not inherently defining of the subjects or the article.
For example, my dictionary says diaspora is the dispersion of a people from their homeland, and does not restrict it applying to an ethnicity. Similarly, for example, Ukrainian diaspora refers to “Ukrainians and their descendants,” further explaining that that is “those who maintain some kind of connection to the land of their ancestors and maintain their feeling of Ukrainian national identity within their own local community.” In fact, many national communities are not solely or even primarily based on ethnicity. The definition above is a very good one, because it seems to remain consistently applicable during a period when many sources have stated that Ukraine has significantly and rapidly changed from a nation based on ethnic nationalism to a more unified civic one that includes a number of ethnic, linguistic, cultural and religious groups (including Ukrainian and Russian speakers, Crimean Tatars, Jews, &c).
I thought it worth discussing because many Wikipedia discussions focus unreasonable on unduly atomizing ethnicity and nationality and therefore fail to reflect RS’s on related subjects.
This article is not a disambiguation page as it purports to be, because there is no clash of article titles. It is more like a category listing. Diasporas appear to be categorized geographically, as in Category:European diasporas, but there’s no reason they couldn’t also be categorized by language groups, as this is a common way to characterize and group peoples, countries, and states.  —Michael Z. 14:24, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with all those observations, actually. Ukrainians can be defined in an ethnic and in a civic way, and each individual may have a different emphasis; it depends on who you ask. But I think the civic approach is most applicable in the 21st century, as there is a strong and widespread sense of civic virtue, and inclusion of diversity (as mentioned Ukrainian and Russian speakers, Crimean Tatars, Jews, &c which is all true), in Ukrainian society and those who fled or migrated abroad. Contemporary Ukrainian culture is not so much based on ethnocentric ideas such as the Ukrainian language, let alone on being "Slavic" (or being "Eastern Slavic" or "Eastern Orthodox" or clinging to Cyrillic etc. as an unchanging undeniable part of one's identity, as it is in Bulgaria, for example), for that matter), as it is about striving to be a sovereign society that chooses its own way, and develop in its own manner within the wider European and global context. Therefore, reductionist linguistic groupings of the Ukrainians and their diaspora as "Slavic" do not really do justice to the complex and nuanced situation as it can be objectively observed, nor to the way it is subjectively experienced and expressed. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:26, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
All true. But Slavic, as in Slavic peoples, refers to a particular set of national groups. There’s no reason to define the category narrowly as “Slavic-language-speaking diaspora,” which would be a less likely interpretation to me. My dictionary has a main definition, meaning of or relating to the language family branch in C&EE, and a subsense, meaning relating to or denoting the peoples who speak a Slavic language. It is quite normal to interpret Slavic as meaning how it’s intended in this article title.
[Still not arguing to keep, just talking about the semantics.]  —Michael Z. 15:06, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I think the confusion might come from how you use the term "national groups" (in an anthropolical / sociological sense?) while I use the term "nationality" in a legal sense.
Let me try to illustrate this with an example. (I hope this will be realistic, and not insensitive, because this is stuff that has been happening, and people should be aware). Suppose that a Crimean Tatar woman with Ukrainian nationality, born and raised in Crimea, with Crimean Tatar as her first language, Russian as her second, Ukrainian as her third, gets a job in Simferopol (mostly speaking Russian at work and in society), but has to flee to Kyiv in March 2014 when she rebuilds her life (e.g. she gets a new job, wherein Ukrainian becomes increasingly important for communication at work and in society), and then has to flee to Poland in February 2022, where she has to start all over again in Warsaw, hoping to return to Kyiv (and if possible Crimea) some day in the future.
Now, if we were to define "Ukrainian" very narrowly in ethnolinguistic terms, she would not be counted as part of the "Ukrainian diaspora", and thus the "Slavic diasporas", just because Ukrainian is not her first language (nor is Russian, for that matter). However, if we define "Ukrainian" in broad, civic, nationality-based terms, then of course she is a Ukrainian. Whether her first language is part of this or that language family doesn't really matter; it has no bearing on her career (WP:OCEGRS). Having Ukrainian nationality, however, has been WP:DEFINING for her whole life (probably more than Crimean Tatar as her first language, let alone Russian as second and Ukrainian as third). I don't know if we should consider this hypothetical woman part of "Ukrainians" as a "national group" the way you are describing it, but I would regard her as neither an "ethnic Ukrainian" nor as a "Slavic" person, but she certainly is a Ukrainian national, part of the Ukrainian diaspora in Poland.

Question Has anyone been able to access and check Reference 1? If the term is used significantly in that book then it may be a notable concept. But I agree with nom that the article seems to have a lot of SYNTH, bringing together selected examples that never actually talk about the concept. If it is kept, the article needs a major rewrite. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:23, 9 August 2023 (UTC) Keep I managed to find a couple of references to the concept: [13][14][15]. However, the term doesn't seem to be very widely used, and a search of "plasticity product" mostly gets you articles on geotechnical and soil science, where it of course has a different meaning. So maybe a disambiguation page or a change of title to "plasticity product (neurobiology)", or something like that, would be a good idea. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:49, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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

The page fails WP:GNG. There are plenty of hits on Google/Google Scholar/JSTOR/Wikipedia Library, but most are unreliable or are an adjective modifying a noun. They do not show that "Contemporary fantasy" has a distinct identity. The Encyclopedia of Fantasy entry ([16]) is interesting but not a clear subgenre:

"By definition, a Contemporary Fantasy sets the mundanity of the present day in clear opposition to the fantasy premise. A Contemporary Fantasy is thus a Crosshatch […] or a Portal fantasy […] or a Gnostic Fantasy […] or a Fantasy of History […] or an Instauration Fantasy […] – or indeed any combination of these. [...] Many texts can be described simultaneously as Contemporary Fantasy and as Urban Fantasy."

Moreover, I don’t think it can pass GNG. If we use the (unsourced) definition on the page, it's meaningless; it says nothing about the text, only when it was written. What is the common ground between "The Bottle Imp", The Borrowers, The Garden of Sinners, and Harry Potter? It’s not a useful term.

People searching for "contemporary fantasy" are probably looking for fantasy stories set in the modern world, and Urban fantasy is the most common phrase for this per Google Ngrams [17], although Low fantasy has a slightly higher number of pageviews. So I think a redirect to Urban fantasy would be best. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 11:29, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup of the article, such as deciding whether the article should only be about a genre or if it should be a broad concept article can be handled on the article talk page. Both articles would be valid, and it may be that this discussion ultimately leads to two such articles, or perhaps a BCA can have a substantial section for the genre.

If there are suitable sources which describe its impact on the software world then it would be worth keeping, but I haven't seen any yet.

A fictional concept from the Buffyverse, where this could be merged. No reception, analysis, even creation/development, just 100% plot summary with footnotes to primary sources (TV episodes, mostly). My BEFORE is not showing anything helpful, although as always, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Said BEFORE is difficult due to generic term here, particularly in the context of the show's name - maybe someone familiar with scholarly research into this show will be able to cobble up some analysis to save this? Otherwise, as I said above, we can just redirect it (perhaps merge a few tidbits?) per ATD/SOFTDELETE to Buffyverse.

Ah, yeah, with regard to WP:OVERLAP I think if all the relevant analysis from the found sources (and as I said, there are more) would be incorporated into Buffyverse#Slayers together with an balanced amount of plot summary, that would make that section akwardly large as compared to the rest of that article, as described in WP:NOTMERGE #2. And there is simply enough content for a stand-alone article as described in WP:WHYN. Daranios (talk) 19:09, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as an AfD outcome per Daranios's RS findings. No objection to a merger discussion as a discussion, but there are enough RS'es that a merge is not an appropriate AfD-compelled outcome. Jclemens (talk) 19:38, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Buffyverse#Slayer and develop the content from there until it hits WP:SPINOUT territory. The concept should definitively be covered on WP, but there's nothing really salvageable here. A stub-like fresh start as part of the larger universe will help without completely nuking it; the redirect leaves the article history behind for selective culling for interested parties. – sgeureka t•c 14:32, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Siroxo Thanks, and I think this will likely be closed as keep. I'll nonetheless choose to dissent and not withdraw this, as I think much of what you've added is not about the concept of "Slayer" but about Buffy, the character, at least as written and quoted in the article right now. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:27, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure thing. I included some coverage about the potentials and the first slayer, there will be more coverage on both of those. Much slayer content will be inherently tied up with the main character. The dichotomy of teenage desires vs slayer responsibilities is a major theme in the show and would belong in both topics. "The slayer" is frequently mentioned in concept distinct from Buffy even when she is the individual in the room, in the show but more importantly in secondary sources. There will definitely be more to add on Faith, Kendra, Fray, Nikki Wood, and likely some I'm forgetting, from those and other secondary sources. —siroχo 02:38, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Plot summary unnecessarily split from Black Canary where I suggest this should be merged as a SOFTDELETE option. As a stand-alone article, this fails WP:GNG.

  • Merge to Black Canary. I would even support a bold heading in the section. But neither article is long enough or distinct enough to warrant separation. It is just an unneeded split that makes navigation harder for WP readers.

  • Merge to Black Canary - Splitting this into three different articles really does not accomplish anything except, as El cid, el campeador mentioned, make it harder to navigate for readers.

This subject fails WP:GNG, WP:NMUSIC, and WP:ACADEMIC. Previous versions were full of a smattering of somewhat vague uncited claims to notability, as well as cites to promoters, and claims about third parties without good references. I removed the majority of those. This subject's sole named ensemble, even before my WP:BLP edits, has been the percussion quartet Répercussion, itself not apparently notable. There is one interview full of third party claims with Drum!, but I don't think the source is reliable particularly for third party claims, nor the import of what they claim. I left local Montrealer (non-notable publication) coverage in external links, as the source failed to name any author in one piece, and clearly sourced its promotional information from the subject in the other. It also contains advertisements for the subject, indicating the subject is responsible for funding publication or is affiliated closely enough to get free ad space. It's not a particularly WP:RS.

Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable in the absence of a WP:GNG-worthy volume of reliable source coverage about his endeavours — but the only article being used as footnoting is a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself in the first person, and the two "external links" are both from a minor hyperlocal cityblog in the subject's hometown, which doesn't add up to a GNG-worthy volume of coverage.

Another nicely written article (Good Article, even) about an anime character with WP:GNG issues, particularly in the WP:SIGCOV realm. Reception contains some non particularly impressive poll rankings ("In March 2010, Syaoran was ranked twenty-third best male anime character of the 2000"), and critical responce based on the mentions in passing in various reviews of the anime or manga. A telling sign of this having major GNG issues is that next to no source mentions this character in its heading, outside three links to Amazon merchandise about Syaoran plushies, keyrings and such (sigh). I'd suggest merger to Syaoran (Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, original) from which this seems to have been originally split, but sadly, the "original" character faces the same issues. A merger to List of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle characters might be a reasonable compromise. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:41, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. In the "Characterization and themes" [22] "Syaoran" is mentioned in context 13 times. In the "popularity" section, the actor who portrayed the character was nominated for a Seiyu Award. [23], [24]. The reviews are also not taken into account... "Even though Syaoran comes from Cardcaptor Sakura, his personality in Tsubasa couldn’t be more different, and he’s twice as old as his earlier appearance." gives an opinion on the character: [25], [26]. Im sure I can find more, I just skimmed through both the English and Japanese sources used. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:46, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I honestly forgot this page existed and assumed that it had been merged into the list long ago.

  • Keep Honestly, I find this AFD way too forced. In the reception section, there are comments involving famous singers, talking about the inspiration they got from Syaoran's character to compose theme song while one source is also big guide about the series, citing everything character in regards to what they feel. There is also far more sources already focused on Syaoran like the book "Shōjo Across Media: Exploring "Girl" Practices in Contemporary Japan. Palgrave Macmillan. 2019." and "Anime and Memory: Aesthetic, Cultural and Thematic Perspectives", comparison to the other Syaoran by Comic Book Resources. Seriously, this AFD feels way too forced.Tintor2 (talk) 01:13, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep per Knowledgekid87 and Tintor2.

Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 06:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Giftheck. I would normally be wary of an AFD for something with this much reception. But in this case, there are three articles about the same character with a lot of redundant sources and reception, verging on a WP:REDUNDANTFORK. The best way to cover this would be as a singular article about the character. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:39, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: I'm going to properly cast a vote this time, and officially suggest merging this with the other Syaoran article into a single article at Syaoran (Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle). I agree with the above that said 'Keep', but also agree there are a lot of redundant duplicates between the two that would be dealt with if the two were merged together.

Detailed and in-depth are not the same. They are very detailed to be used for content within the Wikipedia page, just not to establish notability.

None of these meet WP:ORGCRIT. For instance, the Forbes article is part of its Advisor program.

Articles in Forbes print and article written by Forbes staff writers are generally reliable for establishing notability per WP:FORBES. This is a review published in their "Advisor" series. While it may not be paid (never said it was by the way), they still earn a commission from the company for referrals through links (see the note at the top of the article). This would never be acceptable to show notability in Wikipedia as the financial interest with Country Financial takes away the independence of the reporting. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:53, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Acknowledging your comment but I am going to just say that I still disagree. Keep in mind this is only supplemental material to add to what Siroxo posted and was agreed upon by 2 other editors (A.

Just to be clear, you disagree with WP:FORBES, a guideline that was implemented after strong community consensus? And your argument is an appeal to authority since AfD consensus is not based on vote count. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:33, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll admit that not all of those sources wouldn't fulfill the significant coverage requirements on their own, but I think there is enough overall here to keep this one around, and the sources show that there has been continuing coverage about the company.

A sample from other search engines (these are mostly random after excluding press releases, as nothing particularly distinguishes itself as more significant: [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46]) shows coverage that comfortably falls into the category that is not usually sufficient to establish notability, no matter if we cited all the 267 google indexed online news articles, ~450 books, etc, there is not enough content to extract without resorting to the ACE serves consumers seeking alternatives to traditional banking relationships by providing convenient, immediate access to financial services type of PR fluff we get from uncritically copying from primary sources. Which, incidentally, is enough to delete under WP:DELREASON #4 or #14, even if not necessarily #1, entirely ignoring the matter of #8 or #7. Going back to the sources again: There is zero encyclopedic content we can extract from articles that merely mention the name of the subject, or that it charges (a quantity!) of money in exchange for services, or "it got robbed".

Fails WP:GNG. The media coverage alluded to in text, as far as I can tell (namely in the Futurist) is not independent as it is by the founder. WhinyTheYounger ※ Talk 21:09, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    • Each of the articles listed in Google Scholar is written by Halal, who founded/runs the project, as is the WaPo article. This likewise seems the case with ProQuest, ignoring what appears to be some sort of technical training thign also called "TechCast" that also appears in those results.

Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOL as a former small-town mayor and federal judicial nominee. A possible redirect is Barack Obama judicial appointment controversies, where his WP:BLP1E is listed. Let'srun (talk) 00:54, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect. It seems this individual was eventually appointed to a state bench [51]. But that source is not independent and there is virtually no coverage on this state appointment, so ultimately doesn't affect the outcome here. —siroχo 07:05, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Is this really relevant for Barack Obama judicial appointment controversies? I mean, there was no controversy, the nomination just expired. Curbon7 (talk) 20:37, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Good point. Target article should probably be renamed to just "Barack Obama judicial nominees" or something like that. - Indefensible (talk) 21:15, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd probably include the word failed in there, but that is a discussion for the article talk page itself. Let'srun (talk) 00:39, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not meet the criteria of WP:NCOLLATH or the more general notability guidelines. He did not play professionally, did not win and was not nominated for any national awards, did not win or play in any national championships and has received only scant attention in the press. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 00:07, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Denniscabrams: In light of Alvaldi's substantial expansion of the article, and the additional sourcing, would you consider withdrawing this so all can move on to more productive matters? Cbl62 (talk) 03:14, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
