Delete The article about the album's author was soft deleted, but had a vote saying that there was "no coverage for this musical group". I assume the same logic can be applied to this article. The first reference provides a list of songs in this album, and the second appears to be an article about this album on Blabbermouth, which is a heavy metal news site. As far as I can tell, that is the only source I could find for either of these articles, so this article doesn't meet the WP:GNG or WP:NALBUM.

Delete. Most "local" newspapers in Holland are actually regional. Not the ones used by my AfD friend above. These items are not independent either. The subject is a professional actor who has participated in an impressive (!) amount of media series and units. The problem for encyclopedic notability is that he nowhere led. He remained a professional at work, even where the units in which he acted became famous. That's fine yet moves him to the group of professional actors who are NN for Wikipedia. He is still a great fit for IMDb. gidonb (talk) 07:50, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:NBOX says to be notable a boxer must be ranked in the top 10 in the world. Aramian was never close, the article says he was 174th. He lost every round and finally had to retire from his fight for the EBU Super Middle title--and even if he'd won it wouldn't show WP notability. He did win the inaugural EBF middleweight title, a much more minor title that he never defended. He also won (and lost) some BDB (German Professional Boxer Association) title bouts, but those are also minor. The only sources I can find are either fight reports or database entries, so WP:GNG doesn't appear to be met. There might also be COI issues given that the creating editor only made a total of 8 edits to WP. Papaursa (talk) 00:57, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to User:TechnoSquirrel69 - I do not recommend early closing AFDs as Delete if the originator is actively pushing the article, ever. The benefit of an early close is small. The risk of early closing an AFD with an active originator is that they may request a Deletion Review. (They always can request a Deletion Review, but we sometimes see a concern that an AFD was early closed. You may save five days from the AFD, but then the DRV runs for another seven days.

*H₂eryo-men

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

TL:DR - this is all WP:OR. The opening of this page makes the claim that this is the name of a reconstructed proto-indo-european deity, but only one of the page sources even has the word, and that is Mallory & Adams, which says, inter alia, Another possible mythic reflection of a healing deity may be seen in the Indo-Iranian Aryaman-Airyaman and the Irish Eremon « *h₄erjo-men-). So one source conjectures a possible common root for a healing deity, and suggests derivation from a PIE word, but does not reconstruct the deity. In any case, the deity reconstructed in this article is WP:OR and WP:SYNTH because it uses sources that describe the derivative deities and imputes those functions (e.g god of roads, of welfare etc.) back on the purely conjectural root. This goes beyond the sources. The only source that says any more is a self published one. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/H₂weh₁yú for a similar issue.

AfDs for this article:

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

Subject is a non-notable academic with a part-time teaching appointment at a University and scant publication record, known mainly for a WP:FRINGE theory asserting that the Heavenly hundred were shot by Maidan protestors themselves in a false flag operation. This assertion has been repeated by Russian propaganda sources and is considered disinformation by the EU: to the extent that it is notable, it should be removed to the Maidan casualties article.

Keep, I think it respects WP:SCHOLAR as it is widely cited in academic studies. I show below the most cited:

Quoted in Google Scholar 1598 times (only a couple of months ago he was mentioned 1557 times, so there is great interest in his studies), with h-index 22 and i10-index 36.[25]

"The separatist war in Donbas: a violent break-up of Ukraine?" Cited 151 times.

"The paradox of American unionism: Why Americans like unions more than Canadians do, but join much less" Cited 133 times.

"Regional political divisions in Ukraine in 1991–2006" Cited 95 times.

"The future of private sector unions in the US" Cited 85 times.

"Divergence in growth in post-communist countries" Cited 84 times.

"Cleft Countries. Regional Political Divisions and Cultures in Post-Soviet Ukraine and Moldova. With a Foreword by Francis Fukuyama" Cited 80 times.

Widely quoted in Google Books.[26]

Widely quoted in Google News.[27]

Important Western sources quoted him:

Note 1: Regarding the arguments that his studies are "disinformation", I point out that the source used, Euvsdisinfo[49] quotes only Anton Khodza to "debunk" Katchanovski. Khodza talks about a third person quoting an alleged non-existent human rights group (IGCP) that has nothing to do with Katchanovski. The author of the article seems virtually unknown[50] and was released on the website "site.ua".[51] I invite you to read Khodza's text, it is full of unprofessional epithets and terminology. Moreover, to link Katchanovski to Khodza, Euvsdisinfo puts three links to websites that look like pro-Russian blogs. Two of which are offline and one online. Where would the debunking be?

Which WP:NACADEMIC criteria is the subject claimed to meet? —Michael Z. 15:11, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's worth looking at the actual citations. The list for most heavily cited article includes a very high number of duplicates, citations by the author himself in other publications, or citations by fringe conspiracy theorists. BobFromBrockley (talk) 15:45, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. UPD Sep 19: Katchanovski is highly cited and thus satisfies the first criterion of WP:NPROF, see the detailed analysis based on Scopus author profiles below. Original response: The proposer has not demonstrated that the subject does not satisfy the WP:SCHOLAR criteria. Also, the proposer's implied reasoning "X is used by propaganda, therefore X is fringe/false" is logically incorrect: propaganda uses (selectively) both true and false statements to advance a certain agenda. Alaexis_¿question? 20:37, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This was discussed at length in the previous AfD nominations. Which WP:NACADEMIC criteria does the subject meet? Nangaf (talk) 20:50, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The first one (The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources). His work has been cited a lot as shown by Mhorg above. I've looked at the scholars whose work is mentioned in History_of_Ukraine#Historiography_and_memory, and some of them have similar numbers of citations (Serhy Yekelchyk vs Ivan Katchanovski) and even the most well-known and prominent ones have 2-5 times more.
Furthermore, Katchanovski's work has been cited by such prominent scholars as David Lane (The International Context: Russia, Ukraine and the Drift to East-West Confrontation) and Richard Sakwa (Frontline Ukraine: Crisis in the Borderlands). Alaexis_¿question? 09:28, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please see Lourdes (talk · contribs) comment below: It is important to understand what is meant by independent reliable sources. It doesn't mean citing papers from fellow scholars who are criticising or praising his work. It doesn't mean quoting Google Scholar citations or the number of books he has written. It means we need non-involved reliable sources that confirm that he has made a significant impact. Nothing you have mentioned constitute evidence of this kind. Nangaf (talk) 18:33, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This quote is not based on policy. WP:NPROF says that The most typical way of satisfying [Notability] Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work. Some of Katchanovski's works have a comparable number of citations to the works of other prominent historians of Ukraine who are listed in History_of_Ukraine#Historiography_and_memory and have their own articles.

To preempt the otherstuffexists argument, I'm not arguing that Katchanovski is notable because Yekelchyk or someone else has a Wikipedia article, but rather establishing what "highly cited" means in this field. Alaexis_¿question? 20:08, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Alaexis, Nangaf for the comments. Alaexis, Google Scholar is not consider independent reliable source. You are mistaken on this, as are others who are quoting the same; the only sources that we should consider are Scopus and Web of Science. There is no reference of the author in these that have been mentioned. For your benefit, Wikipedia:Notability (academics)#Citation metrics (which is a guideline, and not policy that you mention), provides details of why Google Scholar is unreliable, and why only Scopus and Web of Science should be considered. Unless there are independent reliable sources mentioned, the concept of quoting Google Scholar Citations is not something our guidelines accept without caution, and any argument mentioning Google Scholar citations should be ignored as being without basis, as per guidelines. Thank you, Lourdes 07:25, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Scopus author profiles show the same picture. Again, I compared Katchanovski to authors that 1) are mentioned in History_of_Ukraine#Bibliography, 2) are active and 3) have Wikipedia articles in order to understand what "highly cited" means in this area. So here are the results
Serhii Plokhy: 362 citations, h-index 8 [52]

Magocsi, Paul Robert: 105 citations, h-index 5 [53]

Yekelchyk, Serhy: 254 citations, h-index 7 [54]

Kuzio, Taras: 1860 citations, h-index 23 [55]

Ivan Katchanovski: 279 citations, h-index 9 [56].

So only Kuzio has much more citations and indexed works, whereas other prominent scholars have similar numbers. Alaexis_¿question? 08:56, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Once again, thanks and I am glad you are using Scopus to support the argument for the first time. Let me link Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Suzy Styles (h index 8, 240 Scopus citations; deleted because of low citations; see comments). Or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fatima Ebrahimi (h index 15, 598 Scopus citations; deleted because of low citations). Or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Renad Zhdanov (h index 12; deleted because of low h index). And so on. The h index or citations you have quoted are too much below requirements. Ivan's Maidan paper, by the way, has zero citations on Scopus, showcasing how irrelevant it is to his profile. Finally, the reason the other professors (except Kuzio) are on Wikipedia are not because of their utterly bad Scopus citation numbers, but because of other NACADEMIC reasons, such as:
Serhii Plokhy: Director of the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute

Magocsi, Paul Robert: Chair of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Toronto. Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Honorary Chairman of the World Congress of Rusyns

Yekelchyk, Serhy: President of the Canadian Association of Ukrainian Studies

Kuzio, Taras: 1860 citations, h-index 23, far above Ivan

To be honest, I suspect that the above academicians (except Kuzio) will have a hard time keeping their profiles here if we were to take them to AfD. So your logic of h index and Scopus citations is actually proving that we should delete this profile. Thank you, Lourdes 10:15, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

None of your AfD examples are historians or political scientists. The guideline says that the meaning of "highly cited" is different for different scientific disciplines. Alaexis_¿question? 11:11, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is true. As a former academic, however I can vouch for the fact that the rule of thumb for getting tenure at a US university in the social sciences is that an h-index of ~20 is considered a good target. Katchanovski is nowhere near that. Nangaf (talk) 00:15, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I broadly agree with the notion that Katchanovski does not fulfill criterion #1 (if anything, I believe he fulfills #7), and with the scepticism regarding the use of Google Scholar (I disagree with focusing excessively on Scopus and WoS, though, but that's a different matter!). However, as a current academic I find the claim that the rule of thumb for getting tenure at a US university in the social sciences is that an h-index of ~20 is considered a good target to be beyond puzzling. John Mearsheimer, has been described as the most influential realist of his generation, has an h-index of 21. You can find plenty of examples of tenured American academics in the social sciences and humanities with h-indices barely in the 2 digits. These are low citation fields and universities can and very much do look beyond a person's h-index. Ostalgia (talk) 09:19, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment leaning Keep. Considering him as a scholar, he appears to have respectable citations for a few works [57] (151,133,95,85,84), some of which are sole author, however the overall number of citations (1598) appears rather low. He has (co-)authored three books, for some of which the Ebscosearch finds multiple reviews:

The brief review by Dyczok is online (p 548).[58] Nothing in it hints “The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline” per WP:NACADEMIC, in fact the opposite. —Michael Z. 15:20, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Academics who publish books can also be notable under WP:AUTHOR, which is usually demonstrated by multiple reviews covering at least two authored books, which are available here. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:40, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AUTHOR says The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work That's clearly not met in this case. BobFromBrockley (talk) 07:34, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just noting the irony of Kuzio's review being used as evidence of notability here, while other editors on the article talk page are arguing that Kuzio should be removed entirely from the article because of his "beef" with the article subject. Unless the beef itself is notable (e.g. reported by independent RSs) then these two arguments seem incompatible to me. BobFromBrockley (talk) 07:36, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lean keep: Absolutely doesn't meet the specific WP:NACADEMIC criteria (as clearly described by multiple contributors to AfD 2), but I think he might meet WP:NBASIC criteria as a public commentator who receives some attention in the public sphere, as evidenced by the large number of page views.[59] BobFromBrockley (talk) 15:32, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do agree that Katchanovski's efforts to appear in the public eye are his best claim for notability: it's hard to argue that he is notable as an academic or an author. However, WP:Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and these events are WP:RECENT. With the greatest of respect, the number of wikipage views seems like flimsy and transient evidence of notability.

Delete. The article does not note any accomplishments or influence that make the subject notable per WP:SCHOLAR. The Historical Dictionary of Ukraine is the only authorship that seems significant in my opinion, but there’s nothing encyclopedic referenced about it except the bare citation. The only reason there’s an article about this person is his Maidan sniper theory, which is arguably WP:FRINGE, and has only been taken seriously by a couple of scholars labelled pro-Kremlin by their peers, and countless conspiracy theorists, propagandists, and trolls. —Michael Z. 23:34, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. First of all, I agree with Bobfrombrockley that the subject does not meet WP:NACADEMIC. Some content of the page is well sourced, possibly notable and deserves inclusion somewhere. It is the False_flag_theory_of_Euromaidan. But it is better be included to other pages related to Maidan. My very best wishes (talk) 01:38, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It's clear that the author writes on a controversial topic, which clearly generates some antipathy towards him and leads to a hostile environment in the talk page (something that is certainly not aided by the fact that the subject of the article himself has repeatedly tried to insert himself into the discussion). Some arguments in "defense" of Katchanovski by users on the tp are also less than stellar, such as stressing the number of citations, or name-dropping famous individuals who are not necessarily knowledgeable about the topic or area (note: based on what transpired later, many of these comments might have been made by Katchanovski himself). With this in mind, perhaps deleting the article would save us all some energy and potential headaches. Nevertheless, it is also clear (to me, at least) that the aforementioned antipathy should not trickle down to the article or the talk page, as it has (and both are covered by BLP). His views are evidently not the majority position (and the article should reflect that), but he has been cited approvingly by some respected scholars in the area and taken seriously by others. Some people are happy to point out that Putin has echoed some of those views as some sort of "gotcha" that would seal the deal, but I'm pretty sure Putin also believes in Newton's law of universal gravitation, so I would not suggest taking that argument to its logical conclusion! More to the point, I believe the subject complies with guideline #7 of WP:NACADEMIC, namely, The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. Criterion 7 may be satisfied, for example, if the person is frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area. Katchanovski has published, been quoted/featured and/or interviewed in media from different political orientations in both his home countries (Ukraine: Krytyka, translated from OpenDemocracy (2012), Kyiv Post (2014), RBK Ukraina (2016); Canada: Globe and Mail (2021), Canadian Dimension (2022), CBC (2022)) and internationally (Australia: Sky Australia (2022); Brazil: O Globo, ft. agencies (2014); Denmark: Jyllands-Posten (2014); South Africa: Mail&Guardian (2023); Spain: ABC (2022), La Razón (2022); UAE: Al Jazeera (2015); UK: openDemocracy (2013), Daily Express (2022); US: The Nation (2014), Washington Post's Monkey Cage (2014), Jacobin (2022); worldwide: Reuters (2014)). The list is non-exhaustive and includes everything from long pieces to quotations. Needless to say, this does not imply an endorsement of Katchanovski's ideas either by me or by any of the mentioned media, but to pretend that he's merely some crackpot featured only on RT and Sputnik, as OP maintains, is just wrong (and, ironically enough, we often do have Wikipedia articles for those, such as Daniel Estulin), as is the notion that a political entity's labelling of something as "disinformation" could be grounds for Wikipedia to delete an article, which on top of wrong is outright dangerous - can you even imagine what that would mean for .ru wiki?. I'm not going to cast a vote, I'm complete fine with either result, but the framing of the AfD and of the entire discussion around this individual is less than ideal. If we cannot be critical but balanced at the same time, then perhaps its for the best that we don't have an article at all. Ostalgia (talk) 09:10, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the subject has published articles, and he was cited and briefly mentioned in publications by others. No one disputes this. But does it mean that he "has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity"? And what is his "impact", exactly? This is presumably his the False_flag_theory_of_Euromaidan, nothing else really. Is it really a "substantial impact"? Looking at the sources, it appears that is was not he who proposed this "theory" [60]. I believe this "theory" would be better placed to Maidan casualties. My very best wishes (talk) 23:16, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is a case that can be made under #7, but Katchanovski is not exactly a household name. Even people who follow events in Ukraine pretty closely in the mainstream media would be unlikely to have ever heard of him, because his theory is outside the mainstream. The *single* exception to this is a guest article he wrote for the Washington Post in 2014, although I suppose you could stretch it to include his fleeting appearance in the straight-to-YouTube Oliver Stone documentary "Ukraine on Fire". The "impact" of his work can be gauged by the fact that he proposed this theory in 2014 -- 9 years ago -- and he still hasn't got a full-time job. He hasn't even got a research position! He is an adjunct teacher, and crowd funds his publications. This is the career trajectory of a crank. Nangaf (talk) 04:51, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're saying that he he proposed this theory in 2014 and it hasn't gained traction, ergo he is not notable. MVBW right above you states that is [sic] was not he who proposed this "theory", linking to some site that I have not checked (and probably will not check). The implication is that if he didn't propose the theory, then he should not have an article of his own, and the theory should be moved to another article. But here's the thing, you're both single-mindedly focusing on his Euromaidan theory when the article is not called "Ivan Katchanovski's whacky theories" but "Ivan Katchanovski". I'm not necessarily blaming you for obsessing over this theory, given that it's probably the issue he himself focused on the most in his talk page interventions, but one of the things I explicitly mentioned on the TP was that the article should be expanded beyond the coverage of his Euromaidan theory precisely because of this. Of the almost 20 links I posted above I would say the majority don't even mention his theories regarding who killed who when and where during anti-Yanukovych protests. Maybe when he goes on RT he does talk about that, but in mainstream "respectable" media he's just interviewed, quoted or invited to provide commentary as an academic focused on the study of Eastern Europe, which is why I believe he's covered by WP:NACADEMIC #7 - after all, a lot of frequent commentators of lesser academic standing both in terms of education and position have their own articles because of it. Still, I guess having to write this kind of proves the point I made earlier - deleting the article would save us a lot of trouble. Ostalgia (talk) 12:38, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus on whether the article should be kept or deleted should depend upon either GNG or NACADEMIC, and not on personal opinions of commentators here. I am attempting a summary of each qualifier and showcase the subject's notability (or non-notability) below:

WP:GNG - Not met. There aren't multiple sources, in fact not even one, where the subject has been discussed at length.

WP:NACADEMIC

"The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources."

It is important to understand what is meant by independent reliable sources. It doesn't mean citing papers from fellow scholars who are criticising or praising his work. It doesn't mean quoting Google Scholar citations or the number of books he has written. It means we need non-involved reliable sources that confirm that he has made a significant impact. Not one exists.

"The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.

Clearly not.

"The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).

Clearly not met.

"The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.

Clearly not met.

"The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.

Not met.

"The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.

Not met.

"The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.

Not relevant and not met.

"The person has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area.

Not met.

Per the above lack of meeting either GNG or even one clause of NACADEMIC, this BLP should be Deleted. If there are editors who can provide at least two reliable sources against even one NACADEMIC qualifier, I am ready to strike my comment. However, with significant research that I have undertaken, there is no reason for this BLP to remain on Wikipedia any more. Lourdes 05:58, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I would've voted Keep in the last AfD based on the arguments there but didn't feel I had enough information to be absolutely sure; relisting here so soon seems a sort of POINT argument so I'll jump in this time. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 20:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah thanks -- that'd be helpful if I hadn't already participated in thousands of AfDs before. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 20:52, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notes for the closing admin: With the utmost respect for all commentators here, I am providing a summary of the 7 keep votes below. Once again, this is not to discredit any comments on this AfD. This is just my opinion from my experience in AfDs here:

3 of the above 7 Keep votes have only one reasoning: That it is too soon since the last AfD closed. That leaves 4 Keep votes.

1 Keep vote mentions that the proposer has not provided evidence that the subject does not meet NACADEMIC (!!!) Shouldn't it be vice versa, that the keep argument should provide evidence rather than the proposer? That leaves 3 Keep votes.

1 Keep vote out of the remaining 3 is a "leaning keep" vote which mentions that the subject doesn't meet NACADEMIC (yes!) but his article's page views should qualify the subject on NBASIC (!!!). That leaves 2 valid Keep votes from 2 experienced commentators, versus 4 Delete votes, including the nominator's.

These are just notes for the closing administrator based on my assessments; and not intended to be a critique of any commentator here. Thank you, Lourdes 04:41, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No offense, but what you wrote is definitely a critique of Keep votes that you believe should be discounted by the closer. I've seen "Too soon since last AFD" comments come up in lots of AFDs and I've seen AFDs closed as Keep based on that objection alone but that is typically when a follow-up AFD is days, weeks or a month since the prior one. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:34, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Liz, it would be appropriate to close AfDs that basis soon after a positive decision to Keep, but no such consensus has ever formed on the article currently under consideration. Nangaf (talk) 18:48, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for deletion is simply that the subject himself is not notable. My proposed course of action is to delete the article and remove any notable content about the false flag theory of the Maidan to an appropriate article. Nangaf (talk) 18:57, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again Alaexis. You have re-quoted another editor now, who himself has quoted Google citations, which, as I mentioned above, are unacceptable in such cases. Once again, you need to refer to Wikipedia:Notability (academics)#Citation metrics to understand that the only independent reliable sources accepted for citations are Scopus and Web of Science. Any argument using Google citations in such borderline BLP cases which have zero references to Scopus and Web of Science, should be ignored, per our guidelines. Thank you, Lourdes 07:31, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was under the impression that Scopus requires a subscription but it turns out that basic profiles are available for free. I'll update my post. Alaexis_¿question? 08:44, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks David. If I were to describe this person in one line, it would be: "Visiting lecturer with zero GNG coverage, 9 h-index, 279 Scopus citations, and having zero Scopus citations of the very theory that is supposed to be his claim to fame." I was tad disappointed at the re-listing, but I guess consensus is not seen in the same way by different administrators. Lourdes 06:54, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lourdes, while I agree with the spirit of your reply (as I see it, you're suggesting that Jjazz76 should not swallow Katchanovski's theories hook, line and sinker without considering criticism of them), its content is quite inaccurate. Katchanovski is not a visiting lecturer but a part-time lecturer, and while I'm unfamiliar with the system in Canada and do not know what exactly this entails, it's an undoubtedly different role, as he's been at Ottawa for 13 years. I would not focus on his h-index too much as it's not absurdly low for his field, either. Most importantly, however, the statement regarding having zero Scopus citations of the very theory that is supposed to be his claim to fame, considering the paper you are seemingly referring to was published 3 months ago, is very much misleading. I don't think it is humanly possible to review his paper, incorporate it in your research (whether you're citing it approvingly or ripping it to shreds) and then get your own paper through peer review in the span of 3 months. Considering this person's evident self-consciousness and litigiousness, I would consider amending or striking that. Cheers. Ostalgia (talk) 09:34, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that is not true to say that Katchanovski's false flag theory is completely uncited in the literature. However, that is not by itself sufficient evidence that K is notable as an academic.
An h-index of 9 would not be absurdly low for a historian, or somebody who publishes mainly in the form of books or long monographs, but it is distinctly unimpressive in the quantitative social sciences, which is his actual area of expertise. (To the extent that he has gathered information independently for his own publications, the data are from surveys. He also teaches quantitative methodology.)
The nature of his appointment at Ottawa is not entirely clear. However, the following facts are established: he is affiliated with Ottawa; he teaches there; it is a part time appointment; and he crowd-funded the costs of a recent publication, suggesting that he has funding neither from research grants nor from his institution. No grant income is listed on his institutional webpage or Scopus.

Despite what he may have told people on YouTube or Twitter, he is not a "Professor". And since, being a part-timer, he definitely does not have a tenure track appointment, he could stay in his current position for another 13 years and he would not be any closer to being one.

This really is not a marginal case. Katchanovski is nowhere near notable as an WP:ACADEMIC. Nangaf (talk) 21:45, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how any of that relates to the point I'm trying to make in the message you're replying to, which is that we should be careful with the wording, given the issues we have already had. Cheers. Ostalgia (talk) 06:32, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is indeed a contentious topic. All the more reason to be scrupulously accurate in the factual content of one's posts. Nangaf (talk) 02:33, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is getting weird – it's not the first time you reply to me to go on a tangent only to later repeat the exact same point I was making (and which I wish you would apply to yourself). I don't know what to make of that, frankly, but it's something beyond the scope of the AfD. I believe my participation here has run its course, I stand by my earlier comment and arguments both for and against, and will just wait in the wings for this to be closed. Cheers. Ostalgia (talk) 08:41, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My polite suggestion is to get your facts straight. And if you can't do that, then I agree that not participating in the discussion is a good solution. Nangaf (talk) 20:48, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your suggestion is anything but polite, just like pretty much every interaction you have had with anyone who expressed an opinion that is not perfectly aligned with yours, but I'll still afford you the courtesy of one last reply.

What you call "my facts" are perfectly straight. That instead of looking at them you decide to argue with straw men that exist only in your imagination is an entirely you problem, and that is what makes further participation in this discussion pointless.

First day of school

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

This is WP:LISTCRUFT. Almost entirely unsourced. There's nothing here that enages with broader cultural or historical importance of the "first day of school" and instead is just original research noting when different countries happen to start their school year. While some of it might be common knowledge (the fact that most northern hemisphere school years start in early fall) that very fact makes the usefulness of an encyclopedia article in question. ZimZalaBim ^talk 03:08, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm inclined to agree, the current article has no useful value whatsoever. It's a real pity, because a good article could be written. In Germany, for example, there is a lovely custom that on their very first day of school, in what we in the UK would call reception year, the kids take enormous paper cones with them, filled with goodies to share with the other kids. This sort of custom is of genuine encyclopaedic interest, and similar things must exist in other countries (and could be sourced). If anyone wrote an article like that, I'd be delighted.

Keep per WP:DINC. The article is largely unsourced and poorly written, but per WP:BEFORE C1-3 and all of D, those problems are not valid reasons for deletion. Source do exist (some of them in the article, others on a quick BEFORE search), and the article can be used as a baseline for creating something better. As Elemimele points out, a good article could be written [that is] of genuine encyclopaedic interest...and could be sourced. Once that is shown, an AfD is no longer the right venue for improving Wikipedia. We need to remove unsourced info and WP:OR, not delete the article.

The Princeton Progressive

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

There is no SNG that confers automatic notability on a topic just because it's associated with an Ivy League school, and indeed our Ivy League articles have historically suffered because of reticence to upmerge non-notable subarticles. This is a prime example.

The initial source is a single quite small paragraph on page 458 of The New Princeton Companion (published by the university's press), very questionable for SIGCOV. Beyond that, there's media coverage of an event that mentions The Prog only trivially as a co-sponsor, and limited coverage from Princeton-affiliated sources which do not count toward notability per RSP.

This article was recently created, and after conferring with the NPP reviewer, Rosiestep, I redirected it to Princeton as an ATD. The article was restored, so I am bringing it here now. I am often a proponent of being lenient on newspaper articles, given that we often cite them and it's in readers' interest to be able to look up their reputation. But that sort of IAR argument doesn't apply well here, since The Prog is quite different from The Daily Princetonian — it's an opinionated political journal rather than a campus-focused publication of record, and it's cited less than half a dozen times on Wikipedia (compare to The Daily Princetonian's 400+). {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 16:01, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as is. The Princeton Tory is the conservative counterpart to The Prog and is cited 7 times on Wikipedia, but they have an independent page. Most of the citations on that page come from Princeton University sources, and most of the remainder do not mention The Tory at all. The number you cited also does not count the former domain of this publication, princetonprog.com, and citations that do not link the website.

The events shown in the article demonstrate that The Princeton Progressive has had a notable impact on American politics, as for instance the Frist filibuster was widely covered nationally, with some sources centering the publication in such events, explicitly. One outlet solely cited the Princeton Progressive Review as the organizer of the two-week event, while the other did not cite it as a co-sponsor, but as a co-organizer. 4kbw9Df3Tw (talk) 09:26, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone,

This is the second request for the deletion of the article. In the first request, there was interference from sockpuppets, and there was no consensus.

I am submitting a deletion request for several reasons, as follows: The article does not meet the standards of notability, and there are no real achievements. It is evident that the article was created solely for promotional purposes. The article has been deleted more than 4 times after attempts to publish it on Arabic Wikipedia. Additionally, most of the sources in the article appear to be promotional and/or lack independence, reliability, secondary context, or the necessary commentary to support notability and assist in developing a neutral and balanced article.

The individual who published the article on English Wikipedia also attempted to pass and publish the article on Egyptian Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, and Spanish Wikipedia, which is suspicious. I believe there is a conflict of interest here.

The information presented is highly questionable, especially regarding "lifestyle coaches" regardless of their nationality. Coaching is a personal activity, and it is difficult to gain fame in it. I also wonder how, at the age of 41, she could have trained 200,000 people... That's a small country! Furthermore, including her website in the article appears to be a form of promotion, as she sells videos through access to her site! The article is suspicious and highly dubious.

Keep - A search found reliable sources to back the subject's notability, most of which are already in the article, including The National, an English-speaking publication which has bureaus in London and the Middle East. The subject has been featured in CNN. Noteworthy as well is that the subject was named by Forbes as one of the most influential women in the Middle East in 2018. Clearly passes WP:GNG and meets WP:BASIC. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 17:47, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The justification for deletion is appropriate, as the article contains a large number of inaccuracies. Also in a television interview with Sumaya Alnasser, she said that people who have doubts about my work should visit Wikipedia, because Wikipedia recognizes me!!!

She says that her presence on Wikipedia makes her products reliable!!!!!

This is clear promotion and exploitation of Wikipedia's purpose.

Most of the sources are promotional and paid, and during the previous discussion a number of sock puppets appeared and were later banned. What is the point of trying to keep the article going despite the disastrous fallacies! I support deleting the article. It's worth noting that the article has been deleted 5 times on Arabic Wikipedia, and the creator of the article has been banned on Arabic Wikipedia. Recently, the article was also deleted on Egyptian Wikipedia and Spanish Wikipedia. Osps7 (talk) 21:36, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sir Osps7, Lying is harmful to the online Wikipedia, please see WP:DNTL. Sumaya has not appeared on any TV interview recently and her last TV interview was on April 25, 2022. She has never spoken about Wikipedia in any TV show. I ask you to bring evidence. Sumaya does not have an article on the Arabic Wikipedia and the English article is only one month old, so how can an article that is a month old be a reason for the success of her work? Stop lying please as per WP:DNTL. Mazin suliman (talk) 03:45, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep The article already has many trusted and reliable sources. Clearly passes WP:GNG and meets WP:BASIC. Last month, the XfD discussion on this article was closed as “no consensus, you did not wait at least two months as per WP:2MONTHS. The subject has been featured in CNN three times [1][2] [3]. There are many reliable sources that have not been added to the article, I will add them. The Arabic article you mentioned was deleted because it was poorly written, and the editor who wrote it did not follow Wikipedia guidelines (no references, wrong format, etc.). I will write it according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines and submit it again. Moreover, training a large number of people can be done online within a short time. There is nothing suspicious about that. She speaks Arabic, and the population of Arab world is about 456,520,777 people. Mazin suliman (talk) 03:45, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Osps7, part of your deletion rationale is actually a comment I wrote in the first AFD in a relisting comment.

Weak Keep - Tough one, but I'll err on the side of keep. Some of the sources look promotional, and it's entirely possible it was created for promotional purposes, but we're looking at the subject rather than the current condition of the article (unless it's beyond repair, which I don't think it is). Other sources, like Vogue, CNN, The National, etc. seem ok enough, with a mix of primary/secondary material (words by the journalists vs. words from the subject). The big question is the Arabic and English Middle East-related sources, which I (and I suspect most here on enwp) just don't have enough familiarity with to make a judgment call beyond the basics of information literacy. E.g. I don't know Arab News, but this sure looks like a press release/churnalism to me. The same language appears in some of the other sources, which further convinces me it's not a good source to use. I find myself on the fence, and because part of the reason for that is my own ignorance, I'm content to err on the side of a weak keep. I'd encourage the closer to weigh the SPA !votes accordingly, though. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 14:17, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notability, Neutrality, Original Research WriterArtistDC (talk) 14:20, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The primary reason for deletion is lack of notability per WP:ORG. As a result of a s̵p̵e̵e̵d̵y̵ ̵d̵e̵l̵e̵t̵i̵o̵n̵ prod tag placed August 19, there has been a discussion on the article's talk page.

Neutrality continues to be an issue, although much of the non-neutral language and content supported only by the organization's website have been removed.

The remaining content is original research due to sythesis, drawing conclusions from the organization being mentioned in primary sources, generally local news.

Comment I am still pondering this. There is a lot of coverage from a lot of geographic areas, including some regional newspapers, so it's not clearly all unreliable sources or ones that don't contribute to notability. I agree the article needs work to be more neutral and it seems like there's little coverage of the org other than at particular events...

Media coverage is the entire problem. Should an organization be deemed notable because its media campaign has had some success in being mentioned in primary sources? Is the creation of a WP article part of that campaign? There is no secondary source to establish that the organization has any independent support or recognition. Instead, several of the news sources quote other Native Americans as saying NAGA does not represent them. WriterArtistDC (talk) 22:12, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Should an organization be deemed notable because it's actions were notable enough to be mentioned by the news? Yes. that is the definition of notability. Scu ba (talk) 23:30, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is a complex concept with no definitive characteristic. Being mentioned in the news is the lowest level. With regard to news reports, Wikipedia is not a newspaper states "While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion...". That there is an ongoing controversy regarding the removal of Native mascots is notable, but NAGA's role in that controversy has not been established. The closest any citation comes to being a secondary source is a Sports Illustrated article that casts doubt on NAGA's authenticity as an organization.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 15:28, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note RE: Breaking news - The astroturf is continuing to be rolled out, and reported by local news without sufficient independent investigation to qualify as reliable sources for any Wikipedia article. An example from Thursday 08/31 is a CBS TV affiliate (KDBC) in El Paso, Texas, operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group, posting a story with the headline "Soros-backed Native American group praises Commanders president's refusal to revert team name". The group referred to is the NCAI, and the unsubstantiated connection to George Soros is the beginning of a making a false equivalency between NCAI and NAGA, the former being a civil rights organization founded in 1944, representing the shared interests of many tribes; the latter a non-profit founded in 2017 that does not have any secondary source to substantiate any of their statements as being representative of more than the handful of Native Americans listed in public records.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 23:34, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I still wonder what you classify as an "independent investigation". Because usually media companies with things such as editorial boards tend to investigate the things they are talking about before releasing it to the world. Also what part of "The organization traces some of its funding back to George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, as well as other left-leaning contributors" is unsubstantiated, the NCAI lists the open society foundation in their list of backers on their own website.

Comments:
- I see no original research or synthesis in the article’s current version
- The article is well referenced by reliable secondary sources.
- The Sports Illustrated article, while primarily written to spotlight NAGA’s presumed major funder, also covers NAGA in substantial depth.
- Traditional local newspapers and media outlets in the United States are presumed reliable sources until proven otherwise.
- I have never heard news reports by traditional local newspapers and media outlets in the United States described as “primary” before. They are secondary
- We do not make a distinction between little news outlets and big outlets as to reliability unless proven otherwise. Instead we look at editorial oversight, independence and neutrality.
- The article seems to have a slight POV against NAGA. That’s irrelevant to article retention. Cleanup ≠ deletion.
- Whether this is some sort of Native American astroturfing group is irrelevant to article retention.
- Whether NAGA are the good guys or the bad guys is irrelevant to article retention.
- IRS form 990 returns are always primary sources. A possible exception might be any independently audited financial statements attached to the return.
- Analysis of and reporting about Form 990 returns can be used as secondary sources.

—A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 04:04, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The difference between primary and secondary sources is not the type of organization, journalistic or academic, but the level of analysis they do. A primary academic source is one that reports the result of a single study, a seconday source is a literature review which reports and synthesises the results of many similar studies, and a tertiery source makes an even broader analysis and places conclusions in an historical context. A primary journalistic source reports on a single event such as the vote by a local school board to change their mascot, a secondary source reports on the mascot controversy statewide or nationwide based upon an analysis of many such events, often with reference to independent experts. I have never seen NAGA mentioned in any secondary reports, although the SI article comes close.
When I first encountered the NAGA article it was mainly based upon references to the organization's own website and the creator's synthesis of many primary news reports. The current content of the article is the result of removing this original research as much as possible. I used the IRS filings as an independent primary source for the infobox, much better that the prior information being from NAGA's own website. If the current content is negative towards NAGA, it is because the reporting that remains includes comments by Native Americans that NAGA does not represent them. The proposed deletion of the article is based upon notabilty, not POV. Notability is established by reference to secondary sources, not the media's uncritical parroting of NAGA's press releases.
The bias in the Texas television report cited above is clear in their wording of the headline, which implies that NCAI is controlled by Soros. The NCAI is primarily funded by dues paid by it members. If it also receives donations from other sources, characterization of those donors as "left-leaning" belongs on an editorial page, not in a news report.

--WriterArtistDC (talk) 14:23, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

you might want to brush up on what a primary source is, the statements that NAGA makes can be classified as primary sources, and the media reporting on these statements as secondary sources.
as such, due to the substantial media coverage, it classifies for notability.
the CBS report called them "Soros-backed", the NCAI is backed, financially, by the open society foundation which is run by Soros. Not sure how more black and white it could be.

Scu ba (talk) 16:58, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are misreading the definition you linked to and the WP guildline:
- What NAGA has to say about itself is self-promotion, not independently published, thus no source at all.

WP:Primary "Primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them. Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation."
The LOC definition is somewhat different than WP, but similar to historical research: primary sources are "original documents and objects that were created at the time under study". Yet there is the same caveat: "secondary sources, [are] accounts that retell, analyze, or interpret events". On WP, not having secondary sources for the interpretation of "raw materials" found in primary sources is original research. Historians and journalists may do original research, but not wikipedians.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 21:31, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And again, are their statements which are released by local media affiliates not reputably published due to the existence of the news affiliate's fact checking and editorial boards per WP:NEWSORG. Scu ba (talk) 22:29, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- The news stories are raw materials, almost all primary sources of NAGA's actual activity on particular occasions, not what they claim. The sources that remain in the article have some balance, also quoting other participants in the events. The SI article approaches being secondary, placing NAGA's activities in a larger context of Native support for the Redskins and finding it to have been mostly funded by Dan Snyder, and noting that one of NAGA's founding members and spokesperson is Snyder's favorite Pretendian, Mark Yancey.
Not placing the contribution of the Soros organization in the context of the NCAI's total funding is biased reporting. NCAI's list of supporters includes business such as Walmart, government agencies including the Department of Agriculture, and 37 Native American tribes, yet this TV report picks out the Open Society Foundations to make claims that the NCAI is a front for woke liberalism (DEI).

~~Comment~~ Delete (After going through the history, and especially after looking at the first version of this article and the talk page, the problem is not with SPAs and IPs. Changing from neutral to Delete. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 22:42, 5 September 2023 (UTC) )[reply]

With astroturfing groups like this we always face a dilemma. I am familiar with this group. There is no way to put this gently or neutrally. They perpetrate hoaxes, and if they have a WP article, they will create accounts, or do IP edits, to attempt to abuse the 'pedia to perpatrate a WP:HOAX to claim they are actually Native people, that Native people support mascots, and other untrue things. As far as I am aware, from investigations done by Indigenous researchers, they are well-known pretendians and hoaxers, funded by opponents of Indigenous rights, who routinely mislead the media to advance certain political agendas. Advancing these agendas is their paid profession. So, there are usually-reliable sources that contain misinformation about this group, calling them legitimate when they are not, because they succeeded in fooling journalists. This puts us, as Wikipedians, in a difficult place. We can either:

Delete the article under the principle of Deny Recognition. Or,
Keep the article only if there are sufficient sources to tell the truth about them, in a neutral, encyclopedic voice.

My opinion is that if we don't have enough sources to do #2, the best way to avoid being used for a hoax is to do #1 and delete. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 00:07, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am also very familiar with NAGA, having edited the Native mascot articles since 2012. Their tactics are the same as Dan Snyder and prior owners during decades of resisting change: "I found one Native American Redskins fan, so I get to keep the name no matter what Suzan Harjoe, Amanda Blackhorse, and the NCAI says". One of the Natives he found was Mark Yancey, a founding board member of NAGA who could not reliable say which tribe he was from. However, I do not say the NAGA members are all pretendians, but there are only about a dozen in the IRS documents, and no independent source for their claim of 5,000 due-paying members, but the majority are certainly non-native sports fans, as are the thousands signing the change.org petitions.

The racism represented by Native mascots is not a matter of individual opinions, but studies published in peer-reviewed journals and supported by the professional organizations representing the relevant academic disciplines. The current version of the NAGA article has indeed been edited down to a neutral reprentation (per WP:DUE) of NAGA as a fringe group with little credability or success at promoting its contrary viewpoint. This may be all they need, to be able to say there is a Wikipedia article on NAGA so it is noteworthy, but the woke editors are posting only lies and deleting the truth.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 14:13, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If IP editors make incorrect edits we can WP:ECP the article, it doesn't make sense deleting the entire article on the premise that IP editors might one day make incorrect edits. Scu ba (talk) 12:49, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Of course we can protect the article if we keep it. And we would most likely have to. Just looking down both roads, whichever way we turn at this crossroads. I'm not so much saying it's a reason to delete, but some have considered the hassles a reason in the past.

Keep per my earlier comments above^{(04:04 3 September)} and those of others. This organization is notable.

A question that's been raised is: how's it right/righteous/appropriate/whatever to keep an article for an outfit like this. My policy-based answers:

Wikipedia is not censored
Wikipedia is neutral
Our article deletion policy doesn't have a provision for deleting on this basis.

As a practical matter, I don't think this article does the Native American Guardians Association any favors. It's not NPOV now but even edited to neutrality, it's still going to report awkward things. I think the organisation's foes would want an article here. It's the first place journalists and others will look when NAGA comes to their town. If I were NAGA, I would want this article deleted if I couldn't control it. It's too late for them to control it -- it's now on too many watchlists.

Reply - More specific than GNG to the notability of organizations (WP:ORG), the Primary criteria is: "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." This criteria is stricter than GNG specifically to prevent WP being used for advertising and promotion. If these criteria were applied to the NAGA article, all content would disappear, and almost has compared to when originally created. There is at most one secondary source (Sport Illustrated) which mentions NAGA but is about the Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation, and supports the description of NAGA as an Astroturfing organization.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 14:25, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Again, they have significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources, aka local news reports, that are independent of NAGA and instead focusing on the Redskins and other Indian mascot name controversies. Scu ba (talk) 02:59, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum to reply above - WP:SECONDARY: "A secondary source provides thought and reflection based on primary sources, generally at least one step removed from an event. It contains analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources." With the exception of the SI article, all of the citations that have ever been in the NAGA article are primary - local news reporting of an event, in which NAGA was mentioned in passing, not "significant coverage".--WriterArtistDC (talk) 15:58, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep based on wide coverage noted above, but should have a "criticisms" or similar type of section. There is definitely material out there which can be used to populate such a critique that would ensure the article is balanced and encyclopedic rather than being used merely for publicity. The subject is engaged in activities which the general public should know about with available references to support, and that makes it encyclopedic. - Indefensible (talk) 19:08, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Others have been editing the article during this discussion, and I have been doing cleanup, usually rewording based upon the cited sources or removing content that the sources do not mention at all. As noted, the article is moving towards being negative regarding NAGA, but this is due to accuracy, not bias. The organization is mentioned in many primary news reports in sources of varying reliablity, but the few that go beyond stating facts regarding an event either include statements by local Indigenous tribal representatives that NAGA does not represent them or actually represents white supporters of Native mascots that fund the organization. One source notes that NAGA has not received sufficient donations in a year to require submitting a full report to the IRS detailing their activities and spending.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 13:49, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The latest cleanup has been the reversion of an edit deleting SI cited content. WriterArtistDC (talk) 19:33, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not having been part of an AfD before, I don't know what a clearer concensus would look like. Frankly, the topic is not worthy, so I am not surprised there are few participants here. There are currently 4 for deletion (including one "leaning"), all offering comments specific to this article regarding lack of Notability, RS's and NPOV. There are three "keep", one by the originator of the article, who seem to offer inclusionist arguements that would make anything is the media worthy of a WP article, opening up a flood of astroturfing.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 18:40, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is a tough one. I'm sympathetic to the argument that effective astroturfing leads to coverage in minor/local publications (not to mention publications with a documented ideology compatible with the subject's). Fun fact: several of the sources cited quote this guy without qualification (or perhaps prior to the WaPo article). I'm also sympathetic to the argument that there are several sources which go into some depth about this group's activities. There's a good case for retaining some information about it, prioritizing the highest quality sources, somewhere. Does it merit a stand-alone article? It's borderline. What about a selective merge to Native American mascot controversy (again, preserving only the best sources). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 19:15, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have mentioned above that I am the major contributor to the mascot controversy article, which has been GA for years, and no editor found NAGA (or Mark Yancey, the "guy" alluded to) worthy of mention. The viewpoint that mascots are racist, not "honoring" is based upon peer-reviewed journal articles and books by professors in several disciplines, not the opinion of a fringe group.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 21:19, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What does The viewpoint that mascots are racist, not "honoring" have to do with anything? The question is whether, if you take all the reliable sources about the subject of the mascot controversy, there are sufficient sources about NAGA that they constitute due WP:WEIGHT to include there. That's the nature of NPOV. Nobody says we have to parrot their talking points. If there's consensus there that it would not be due weight to include, that's fine, but it's based on sourcing. The merge could simply be something like "Organizations like the Native American Guardians Association (NAGA) mobilized local and national activists claiming to be Native Americans to defend use of Native American mascots. These organizations are not part of any tribe or other Native American cultural group, and multiple people involved have faced allegations that they are not Native American". Now, that may not wind up being an NPOV summary (I'd need to look closer at the sourcing), but it's an example of the kind of merge I mean. Doesn't the existence of these astroturfing groups (caveat: I can't find a good source that explicitly calls them that, so don't use that word) seem worth at least briefly mentioning as a frequently publicized player in the larger controversy? — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 21:42, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I appologize for the way I stated the issue. I do not seperate due weight based upon sourcing and my understanding of those sources as a subject area expert. The fact us there is really nothing to say about NAGA anywhere because there are no sources that mention the organization that come near to the academic and professional sources I have cited in the main articles on Native mascots. Most pointedly there is no secondary source to establish that the organization even exists as supporters claim.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 00:18, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course they exist, there is a verifiable EIN. - Indefensible (talk) 18:58, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Exist as they claim. From the evidence in public sources, NAGA is less than a dozen individuals with a website, a PO box and a registration as a charity which has rarely collected significant donations. They claim to represent a "silent majority" of Native Americans nationwide who are honored by Native mascots, but usually fail because there are members of local tribes advocating for their removal.

That is a little different than "even exists as supporters claim," but even so it does not really matter. Wikipedia can still have neutral coverage of a problematic subject like a hoax or fraud, that is why I recommended previously to include a "Criticisms" section. - Indefensible (talk) 21:23, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A quick Google search and the sources already existing in the article does not give any sources that prove individual notability, and per WP:N, it is not worth a standalone article. If the character is not notable, I suggest a redirect and/or merge to List of The Godfather characters#Luca Brasi. Spinixster (chat!) 14:02, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see if the sources are good:
- First source seems to have been written by students (see bottom of page), but either way, this talks about the character's death scene rather than the character himself.
- Second source also talks about the character's death scene.
- Third source isn't very good because it's a trivial fact in a list of trivial facts.
You will need sources that prove the character's individual notability, not something about a scene they're in or some trivia about the portrayal of the character. Spinixster (chat!) 08:49, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment List of The Godfather characters seems to have a major NN character spinout problem. There are quite a few redlinked hatnotes from expired PRODs from 2021 which no-one has bothered to remove. My recommendation would be to blanket merge/redirect back all subquality TGF character articles there and let it grow organically, instead of worrying individual character notability. – sgeureka ^t•c 09:14, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. (see below for GNG) If we think about this from the readers perspective, they're going to want to read about the iconic line, "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes" and learn what it means, how the relevent scenes played out, how they were made, what impact it's had beyond The Godfather, etc.

We Wikipedians have a hard miss here, not having any solid coverage beyond a bit of plot summary of "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes". I'm willing to seek out a better way to cover this subject, but flat merge into a character list probably buries the notability here. Perhaps a Death of Luca Brasi or even Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes article for the notable sequences from The Godfather, with some background, and linking to a shorter character bio in the list would work. But I'm not sure AfD is the best place to make that complicated a decision. Beyond the movie character, there's even the matter of the differences between film and book to cover, as those have been analyzed as well.

Either way, the article needs an improvement to focus on notability. But when we consider the subject holistically, a fictional element that is analyzed in secondary sources, it's pretty clear this this meets WP:GNG.

Here's a Springer Nature book chapter[66] that dedicates several hundred words to the character and their death, as part of a discussion of cuisine. (Incidentally, this is a morbidly fascinating read).
This academic book [67] has hundreds of words of coverage of this character, relating The Godfather to the real world, comparing the authenticity of the book and the movie, etc.
This book has more analysis [68]
This book's commentary [69] provides secondary coverage of the character in "life" as well as their death, also examining how various film-making techniques were used.
Here's a bit of a shocker - a religious analysis of the notable scenes [70]

This represents a non-exhaustive search.

I'm willing to change my !vote if someone has a good way to capture the notability for our readers, but again, a flat merge into a character list is probably not going to do it here. —siro χo 05:19, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a good idea for an article about the scene. I checked the sources, and they seem to be okay for use, though I'm not sure about the title of the article, more consensus would be needed for that. Spinixster (chat!) 07:16, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@North8000@KH-1@Spiderone

Hello to everyone, in this message i will explain why i think article meets music notability guideline. I am sorry for long text but please read it all.

1."Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award." You can read on reference that is official CBC.ca website that subject is nominee of Juno 2019 awards. This is most clear meet of wikipedia music notability guidelines.

2."The most written about him in any of those is the self-supplied bio in various announcements": RE: I think we should take in consideration that subject is from Cuba, many information about him cant be obtained since Cuba is closed country, expecialy from the "internet" side. Second, how is media supposed to write biography about someone from closed Cuba, if biography isnt supplied from subject side on one way or another, written or spoken? You will probably agree with me that the media will not go to Cuba to "investigate" about jazz musician and get his birth certificate risking their own freedom, jazz is not a 'commercial' type of music listened to by billions of people nor is the subject politically dissident/politically persecuted etc. so articles about him will sell millions of copies.

3. "One of the references is Wikipedia that that has just his his name is a list." That reference is leading to Wikipedia article about world famous Jazz festival and competition in New York. In that article subject is mentioned as one of the performers and subjects performance on that festival is showing that subject is acclaimed, recognized, and famous artist in his(Jazz) field since he performs on world famous festival. Second reference for that performance is YouTube video on YT channel of that same festival, on video you can literaly see subject performing there. Third reference is from media. I know YouTube shouldnt be used as reference, but i put it there with purpose, for reviewer of article to see with his own eyes that media coverage is justified, accurate, and authentic, YT reference can be removed when reviewer see it and confirms it anyhow.

4. Music notability guideline, "Musicians or ensembles may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria."

"Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself", In article there is many references of media that report about artist, they are not big media publishers but Jazz is not 'comercial' type of music. In whole world there is no big world famous media that make many reports on Jazz musicians and their life. The size, importance and popularity of the media reporting on the subject are proportional to the influence of Jazz in world.
"Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country". In article there is references to his performances in Canada, USA, Montenegro. For Montenegro reference is from the first Montenegrin Jazz radio station and portal.
"Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles." Subject, while in school, became member of "Buena Vista Social Club" that is internationaly famous ensemble, which have own Wikipedia page, in that club there is numerous notable musicians. I put only one reference for that from "Niagara jazz festival" since i thought it would be enough, it isnt possible that so much famous festivals lie about their musicians, also when you google this there is many media that mention Alexis Baro as one of members of the ensemble.
"Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, such as a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album." I think this is also a pass, since subject performed on world famous jazz music festival in New York, i explained this in part 3.
Criteria for composers and lyricists, Others: -The recording has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award -The recording was performed in a medium that is notable-Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition-Has had a work used as the basis for a later composition by a songwriter, composer, or lyricist who meets the above criteriaRE: I think few of this are pass or partialy a pass since subjects composition is on Hilario Duran’s Grammy Award nominated album “From The Heart" and I put references for this also, reference is Library of Congress in Washington.

I am sorry for long answer, but i think i fully explained why subject meets multiple music notability guidelines, fully or partialy in some parts and why article is not for deletion. Thank you for you patience. IlistenClassicalMusic (talk) 11:18, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @IlistenClassicalMusic:, thanks for your work. I just try to do my job properly and am not an active advocate for what happens then either way. For this reason I'm not going to argue/respond to the points in your post post except to note a couple things which might be useful info for you. Wikipedia notability is mostly about finding in depth coverage of the topic (the performer) in typically at least 2 sources so that would be a good thing to look for when looking for sources. Adding references which are basically the venue promoting an upcoming appearance which use the artist-supplied bio are a nice addition but don't count towards that. Also, you can't use Wikipedia as a source. However this ends up, thanks for your work and happy editing! Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 14:13, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explanation, I'm sorry if my answer seemed like an arguing, that is surely not what i wanted to do.

IlistenClassicalMusic (talk) 14:26, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@IlistenClassicalMusic: A common meaning of "arguing" is simply "making arguments" "making points" and is not anything negative. So your post is fine and there is nothing to be sorry about.

@Greenish Pickle! My script for marking unreliable sources just picks up Metro. Can you point me to where the other soruces are marked as unreliable? Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources does not mention them :(

In general, I don't consider such soruces to be very reliable, and the article right now is in a terrible shape, but https://web.archive.org/web/20221110200906/https://movieweb.com/scream-2022-how-tara-stole-the-show/ (link to bypass ads) and the dreadcentral article linked above for example do seem to meet SIGCOV (I did not check other, they don't mention the character in the title and likely fail SIGCOV - if someone cares to claim otherwise, please do so, with quotes). Oh, and Screenrant article seems borderline ok too, and you did not call it out as unreliable...

Hey Edward, CBR.com has its own Wiki, and based on my own analysis, the site is blog-based, meaning it is not reliable. MovieWeb mainly relies on WP:TABLOIDs from other sources, which means it is also unreliable. Finally, the Screen Rant source is actually fairly significant. I counted 24 instances of Tara's name appearing. Granted its about her relationship to Chad, but delves into how their romance is shown to us the viewers. Conyo14 (talk) 04:51, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CBR has been used for articles in the past. Their reliability, from my experience, tends to be dependent on what is written. Granted, it only has a small blurb of info about Tara, so it's not an end of the world scenario if it isn't fit for the article, but I thought it best to include all that I could find from my brief search.

Comment: The subject's name here is Nuzha Nuseibeh or Nuzha Nusseibeh, but the page is currently listed under the subject's maiden name, not her married and most commonly used name (as used for example, alongside her husband, in diplomatic records, or as president of the YWMA in Jerusalem, and as quoted in books), so a WP:BEFORE search for sources under the actually more prevalent name for the individual is required.

Keep: On the face of it, that the subject received the Order of Jerusalem is alone sufficient for WP:ANYBIO.

I did remove some of the most egregious nonsense on one or two of the articles, but I have not had a chance to do much more because I want to finish work on the Australian seasons first. Not that this work is ever truly finished. In fact, I’ve gotten sidetracked the last few days back to the American seasons in an attempt to bring a uniformity and consistency to all of the seasons in the franchise, regardless of nation.

I don't really see why this page should be deleted. I was unaware that a previous Fear and Hunger article had been deleted, but I think another discussion should be had on whether this article deserves to be deleted. It is my opinion that the multiple articles from Rock Paper Shotgun, CBR, and DualShockers all fall under WP:GNG. I think another discussion should be had on whether it does or does not fall under WP:GNG. I don't think they're the strongest sources in the world but I've definitely seen Indie game articles that have been kept on far shakier grounds --NimoEdit (talk) 00:44, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete @Pyraminxsolver: AfD is for when you want an article to be deleted, not kept. Nevertheless the article should still be deleted, as the notability has not changed since the previous AfD held mere months ago. It fails WP:GNG with most sources not being from WP:RS. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:53, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. DualShockers is situational, the most recent discussion[97] is pretty promising, and the author of these two pieces[98][99] is a professional journalist in the entertainment industry. Those plus RPS should suffice for GNG. And note that one of those DualShockers pieces is new since the last AfD, so the coverage is indeed deeper now than a couple months ago. —siro χo 05:55, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Even assuming we count DualShockers as a reliable source, per WP:GNG, "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability." The second one is also about a totally different game, the sequel. So we'd preferably need one other source, and CBR is simply a content farm. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:45, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the combination of the first DualShockers source and the Rock Paper Shotgun article is enough to just barely pass WP:GNG. Zxcvbnm is correct that if it were just the two DS articles this wouldn't be notable, but the combination of the first one with RPS is enough to showcase notability. Devonian Wombat (talk) 14:36, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's incredibly rare that 2 reviews would be considered GNG passing, especially when one of them is from a situational source. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:53, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have added 3 additional non-english reviews, all of which I believe should pass WP:RS. Surely this should be considered enough to pass GNG? NimoEdit (talk) 02:59, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not every source that is published on the internet passes WP:RS - there are massive amounts of unreliable sites. That said, The Games Machine is an unequivocal reliable source.

Keep. There are just about enough RS to keep this article. I don't have access to Mikro Bitti articles, but it nevertheless contributes to the game's notability. Cortador (talk) 08:11, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't meet GNG or WP:NMMA, seems to only be notable as Kimbo Slice's cousin, though notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Lots of fishy primary refs, dead links and a general sense that this is a COI/vanity page. Nswix (talk) 03:16, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ as per nom. Doesn't meet WP:NMMA. Lethweimaster (talk) 15:30, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep After reading what BeanieFan11 brought up below. Lethweimaster (talk) 10:33, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Does not appear to meet any current notability criteria. The most notable thing he did was compete at the 2004 Olympics where he won his first fight and lost his next two. I don't see significant independent coverage from reliable sources to show he meets WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 01:24, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I want to thank BeanieFan11 for his efforts and finding those sources. Ferguson doesn't meet any SNG, but I think the GNG is met. I've certainly seen other AfDs closed as keep with poorer sources. I went looking for more evidence of his U.S. championships, but USA Judo only shows the 2023 results on their website. Papaursa (talk) 01:42, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. @Lethweimaster and Papaursa: The article might not be in the best shape, but there's extensive coverage of Ferguson available, see for example: "Muscle and Mayhem; Ferguson Takes No Holds Barred Pursuit of Judo Gold", a 1,200 word feature from The Washington Post (national coverage); "COURAGE OF THE FIGHT; Armed with the best America has to offer in judo, Rhadi Ferguson will accept nothing less than gold in Athens.", a 1,300 word feature from the Los Angeles Sentinel (more national coverage); "Ferguson getting an education at Games", 700 words from The Gazette; "Judo Olympian ready for the cage" (part 2), an in-depth feature story from Florida Today; "Judo master sharpens skills for Athens" (part 2), a feature story from The Palm Beach Post; and "Titusville black belt will guide Bahamas in World", from Florida Today. Ferguson passes WP:GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:53, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It would be to Muhammad Ali, Carl Anderson (singer), and Laila Ali. Right now this is a nice connecting article between those 3, but I agree that she does not seem to meet notability on her own. - Indefensible (talk) 04:14, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've never closed an AFD to Merge to more than one article. I think I'd leave that to some other closer. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:32, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete outright on account of subject distinctly lacking sufficient independent notability, an attribute that cannot be inherited yet is necessary for a Wikipedia article. Whatever little can be salvaged, i.e. is appropriately sourced, could be merged away, though it appears that our subject's already present in the suggested three lemmas. -The Gnome (talk) 14:09, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
