Fails WP:NSINGLE. No obvious WP:ATD-R target since it's a collaboration by two artists. The film article, Circle of Friends (1995 film), doesn't mention the soundtrack or the song either. Mika1h (talk) 17:18, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

I'm going through The Sarah Jane Adventures serials right now to figure out the sourcing on them, and this serial is something I wanted to discuss more thoroughly given it's currently a GA (Albeit a very old one- 2008 is ancient in GA terms). From a search, even back to the time period when it was airing, I cannot find a single review on the topic. Beyond that, there's some decent analysis in [1] this book, but that's about all. Any other mentions of the serial are merely discussing the character of Sarah Jane Smith and mentioning her role and how she's characterized in this, and are not actually reviews or analysis of the serial itself. The current article only has viewing figures, and no reviews whatsoever, and a good chunk of it is unsourced. I do not believe there's enough to support a whole article here given the bulk of this article is plot summary and what little real world info that exists is minimal. I'd suggest a redirect to List of The Sarah Jane Adventures serials as an AtD, since there is a valid place for this redirect to point for the time being.

- Merge to The Sarah Jane Adventures – The article on “Invasion of the Bane” may not meet WP:NTV for a standalone page. Episodes lacking independent notability should be covered in series or season articles. Merging preserves viewership and character introductions while addressing notability concerns.

As would be expected for an amateur sports club for former pupils of a school, there is no evidence of satisfying the notability guidelines. Apart from the club's own X account, the references are such things as lists of matches, lists of clubs in which this one is included, and reports of individual matches. My searches for better sources merely turned up more of the same. JBW (talk) 16:29, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: played in the FA Cup in the 1880s, notable for that alone. And three of its players gained England caps while at the club so more notable at the time than (say) Hull City are now. References on the article include Athletic News, football annuals, national newspapers, and an England football database. So plenty of contemporary and current references. Not sure how that can be described as "no" evidence. Wikipedia includes history, notability is not dictated by current status. In Vitrio (talk) 16:58, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

The coverage here does not appear to meet WP:ORGCRIT; a mix of relatively routine start-up/business announcements, press releases, and WP:FORBESCON. I searched g-news, g-scholar, newspapers.com, and PressReader- was not able to turn up anything else that looks in-depth.

Article fails WP:GNG. The sources don't sufficiently establish that this is a notable rivalry. Doing a Google search, I found these sources [2], [3]. However, source 1 is from a post-2019 SI article, which per WP:RSPSI, I'm not sure about its reliability, and source 2 is a CBS article that only briefly mentions the "Sea of Hands." The rest of the sources I found are mainly WP:ROUTINE. WikiGiancarloC2 (talk) 15:50, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM. After my BEFORE searches, I could not find any significant coverage in reliable, independent sources about the album. Only mentions I could find were
- Bandcamp (primary).
- Discogs.
- A year end list mention at "The Silent Ballet" One list mention of one song in a unreliable (?) outlet isn't WP:SIGCOV.
I couldn't find any further coverage for the album, even in nicher ambient focused publications, so it fails GNG & NALBUM. ULPS (talk • contribs) 14:48, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. Checked the first 10 references and they are either garbage or sub-par. First one links to Sam Richters personal page, and just the ___domain. Second is an affiliate article, the author even acknowledges that himself (quote: "Disclosure: I wrote the foreward." [in Sam Richter's book]). Third is a 404 page. I found it in Web Archive and it's a promo piece originating from "Fortune Small Business". Fourth, leads to an archived reference which has no mention of Sam Richter or any of his work. Nothing at all. Fifth is used to mislead and misrepresent the facts, – the statement supported by reference #5 implies that the book won some award, but the book, in fact, did not. And so on...

- I added two refs relating to Frances Bay for Darwin Harbour. As for the BC bay, it is more like "just a place name". Possibly there is better prospects for a mention if the target is changed to Francis Point Provincial Park but I have nothing concrete at this point. The North Lake that the Minnesota Frances Bay is part of (between Canada and the US) I can find nothing about, and I thus cannot oppose its removal. CapnZapp (talk) 16:32, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

There is some independent coverage in mainstream Ghanaian outlets (e.g., MyJoyOnline; CitiNewsroom) but it’s event-focused and not yet sufficient for wp:GNG.

Nearly all of the references are WP:CORPTRIV, WP:PRIMARY (court rulings, interviews), or non-WP:RS. The only source that passes all four notability criteria is The Telegraph article.

Specific epithets are by definition WP:partial title matches, and do not warrant a disambiguation page as none of the species are known by the term alone. There is no entry that might serve as a redirect target in either List of Latin and Greek words commonly used in systematic names or Wiktionary. Paul_012 (talk) 06:54, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Biology and Disambiguations. Paul_012 (talk) 06:54, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- Add to List of Latin and Greek words commonly used in systematic names and then redirect. More helpful to the reader than just deleting. (I've added Prunicolor but don't feel inclined to do the rest). PamD 10:08, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Having a disambig isn't just useless, it's downright bad, because it masks Wikipedia's actual search system. If I search for "acetosella", which has no disambig, the search system instantly provides me with links to three articles on species with this specific epithet, in three different genera. If ever someone names a fourth species and Wikipedia gets an article on it, the search system will find it, automatic update! By having a disambig, we mask the search system, and rely on someone to maintain the disambig. We shouldn't have articles for specific epithets except in special circumstances where there is something to write about the epithet itself, such as Officinalis, which is more than a disambig. Elemimele (talk) 10:17, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- ... for this reason, I disagree with PamD about the redirect (which would also foul up the search system), but agree about adding to list of Latin and Greek words. I admit that any sane person would use Google rather than Wikipedia to do the search, so Maybe I'm making a fuss about nothing. Elemimele (talk) 10:19, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- The entries in the list include a link to do a full search (including the other-gendered versions of the epithet where relevant), so redirecting to that list is helpful. PamD 10:39, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- @PamD: Oooh, interesting; there doesn't seem to be a full search link for pes-caprae on my browser?

I admit that any sane person would use Google rather than Wikipedia to do the search, so Maybe I'm making a fuss about nothing. Elemimele (talk) 10:19, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: I randomly looked through around 1/3 of the countries under Category:Post office buildings by country. The articles using this category are about individual post office locations. There three of these articles for Hong Kong. I could not find other list articles for other countries. However, there are list articles for the USPS by state. @Let'srun, I understand your point regarding WP:OSE but there is relevance when considering if a nonprofit governmental agency and with a building that is frequently a community landmark falls under WP:NOTPRICE. A key may be that WP: NOTPRICE says "Listings to be avoided include...". It does not say these are forbidden. That is because sometimes this content is informational and encyclopedic, rather than promotional. For example, articles regularly include a list of all locations of a multi-campus university and schools and churches are sometimes listed in articles about cities or counties. Rublamb (talk) 21:10, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Post offices are generally a place where business is conducted, and while I get what you are saying I don't think the government association matters. As it stands, this list is only in service of "conducting the business of the topic of the article", and is promotional in nature. If this list is deleted, I would likely nominate those USPS articles next, but don't wish to overwhelm AfD and want to see what kind of consensus is found here first. I also don't those examples you listed as being relevant here. Let'srun (talk) 21:33, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists, which says, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list." I will show below that "Hong Kong post offices" has been treated as "a group or set by independent reliable sources".

As postal services resumed, individual post offices gradually reopened and continued to provide services to the public. The Hong Kong Central Post Office and Kowloon Central Post Office were the first to resume services, with other post offices gradually returning to service. The reopening dates of post offices in various districts are detailed in the table below.
Post Office Reopening Date Hong Kong Central Post Office 22 January 1942 Kowloon Central Post Office 22 January 1942 Wan Chai Post Office 14 February 1942 Sheung Wan Post Office 14 February 1942 Yau Ma Tei Post Office 14 February 1942 Sham Shui Po Post Office 14 February 1942 Kowloon City Post Office 14 February 1942 Sai Ying Pun Post Office 26 March 1942 Yuan Long Post Office 26 March 1942 Tai Po Post Office 26 March 1942 Stanley Post Office 1 May 1942 Kowloon Tong Post Office 15 November 1942 Of the post offices listed above, Kowloon City Post Office had the shortest service hours, primarily due to the Kai Tak Airport expansion project. As it was located on the expansion site, it closed on 14 November 1942, and was replaced by the newly established Kowloon Tong Post Office.

- Comment: WP:NOTPRICE says:
This list is not being used as "a resource for conducting business". It is being used to document Hong Kong's post offices which have been discussed as a group by academic sources (Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists). The list does not include "product pricing or availability information". The list includes encyclopedic information about each post office such as its English and Chinese name, its ___location, its year of establishment, its year of closing, and a photo. The list is not being used as "a price comparison service to compare prices and availability of competing products". Cunard (talk) 22:03, 17 August 2025 (UTC)A resource for conducting business. Neither articles nor their associated talk pages are for conducting the business of the topic of the article. Listings to be avoided include, but are not limited to: business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, store locations, contact information, patent filings, products and services, sponsors, subdivisions and tourist attractions. An article should not include product pricing or availability information (which can vary widely with time and ___location) unless there is an independent source and encyclopedic significance for the mention, which may be indicated by mainstream media sources or books (not just product reviews) providing commentary on these details instead of just passing mention. Wikipedia is not a price comparison service to compare prices and availability of competing products or a single product from different vendors. Lists of creative works are permitted. Thus, for example, Wikipedia should not include a list of all books published by HarperCollins, but may include a bibliography of books written by HarperCollins author Veronica Roth.
- Redirect to Hongkong Post. Majority of these list entries are merely sourced from Hongkong post to prove they exist, which itself violates WP:NOTDIR. There are a few references that would be ideal on the parent article, to use for the small number of list entries that are indeed notable. Ajf773 (talk) 08:49, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- No opposition to a redirect as suggested. Let'srun (talk) 12:20, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- I just added Hongkong Post as a source because I believe that is better than having no sources. As there are already enough secondary sources to prove notability for a stand-alone list article, it is not really a factor and can be improved later by someone who reads Chinese. However, I would maintain that WP:NOTDIR does not apply because this list goes beyond being a directory, because it includes dates, photographs, and historical details. Rublamb (talk) 16:32, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: I had to really think about this one as it crosses over numerous policies and guidelines. I could say keep under WP:HEY but think more information is required.
- WP:SAL: I reviewed the sources that would translate to English and also added other sources, including one of the secondary sources suggested above. (see WP:HEY) @Cunard is correct. There are reliable secondary sources that discuss the post offices of Hong Kong as a group. That is what is needed for a stand-alone list article to meet notability. Also, I am confident that other sources exist to improve this article, but I was not able to fully access them because the source were in Chinese.
- WP:NOTDIRECTORY specifically applies to simple lists, such as a list of phone numbers, that do not include contextual information showing encyclopedic merit. Although this article includes addresses, it also includes contextual information that is not directory in nature, such as date of establishment and closure, photographs of the buildings, and historical details about the post offices. Although it would benefit from more information and sources, this is an encyclopedic list rather than a directory entry.
- WP:NOTPRICE: This is the issue that gave me the most pause, and I totally see why @Let'srun called for this AfD. The indent of this policy is to prohibit business self-promotion via Wikipedia, specifically stating, "Neither articles nor their associated talk pages are for conducting the business of the topic of the article " WP:NOTPRICE suggests this can be achieved by avoiding the inclusion "business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, store locations, contact information, patent filings, products and services, sponsors, subdivisions and tourist attractions". Note that this list is items to be "avoided", not items that can never be included. That is because context matters. This article is not promotional in a way that matches the intent of WP:NOTPRICE; there is no discussion of services or products. The only issue could be "store locations". But given that this article includes defunct locations, it is difficult say its intent is to conduct business. As discussed above, a list of businesses is allowed in Wikipedia, provided the intent and content is encyclopedic. If this article was a simple list that just included ___location name, address, hours of operation, and phone number, it would violate WP:NOTPRICE. But since it lacks the "conducting business" content and also includes historic details that are encyclopedic and non-promotional, it does not fail based on WP:NOTPRICE. Rublamb (talk) 17:15, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Pretty blatant violation of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Cunard's typical disruptive wall-of-text is completely insufficient to demonstrate notability. While the general topic of the postal system in Hong Kong might very well be notable, a directory-like listing of the ___location of each one most certainly is not, and its existence flies in the face of WP:NOT. Most of the entries here are unsourced, further violating WP:NOR. One of the few exceptions, picked at random, that is sourced contains the oh-so-encyclopedic content of
" This post office closed during World War II, reopening on 14 February 1942. It moved to a new building in 1986. "
. Wow. Let me say that again. WOW. It closed briefly during WWII, and it later moved locations in the '80s. The few other entries with commentary are pretty much the same level. This is bottom-of-the-barrel stuff, even by Wikipedia's standards. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 03:02, 19 August 2025 (UTC)- Comment: As part of my review of this AfD, I went through and found sources for each entry, unless noted as citation needed.

But Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. The minuscule amount of encyclopedic information that might actually be here (like singling out the oldest post office) can go in a history section of the main article about the HK postal system. The notability of the system itself, along with its history, does not justify a list like this. And there are no sources that justify the existence of this list.

- Keep WP:NLIST says "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. Because the group or set is notable, the individual entries in the list do not need to be independently notable". Since the grouping has, as noted above by @Cunard and reiterated by @Rublamb, been the subject of multiple independent scholarly discussions, it meets this requirement. No individual notability needs to be shown for each post office unless it has a standalone article. Oblivy (talk) 01:55, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: This list is much more than a simple directory. It contains referenced historical information about many of the post offices in Hong Kong, thus contributing value to the history of postal services in Hong Kong. Individual post offices have historically played an important role in the local society. Most of them do not individually deserve an article, but this collective article is a very good way to collect such information in one place. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 09:52, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. The arguments to keep have no basis in policy. The postal system in Hong Kong is notable, obviously. And an article about its history, including the role of specific post offices, is likely viable. But none of the provided sources suggest that the grouping of all post offices is notable over and above the postal service itself. The sources are about the system, not the list: NLIST is not met. The similarity to other categories isn't a reason to keep: quite apart from that being an argument to avoid, we specifically use categories to group notable topics for which lists are not viable.

- Keep. The sources identified by Cunard do indeed demonstrate that the post offices of Hong Kong have been discussed in WP:SIGCOV in way that is not trivial or reflective of a directory. As such it meets the criteria at WP:NLIST. Note that this would not be true of post offices in every city, and this list isn't a precedent for similar lists in other locales. The sourcing would need to be there to justify other lists of this type.4meter4 (talk) 22:05, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:DIRECTORY and WP:NOPAGE I am usually err on the side of including things, but the interpretations of WP:NLIST offered above are simply not logically tenable. Two independent, reliable sources could list the phone numbers of every pharmacy in New York City. Does that mean we then need to create a wikipedia page called List of pharmacy phone numbers in New York City? No, because there is no encyclopedic value in that beyond turning Wikipedia into a directory. The same answer applies with regards to post offices. WP:NOPAGE is also instructive in this regard - when a subject passed WP:SIGCOV, that means it clears the minimum bar of notability to be covered on the Wikipedia. How exactly that coverage occurs - whether by way of its own article, of a fully included list, or as a summarized mention within another article - remains up to the community to decide.

- Comment None of the delete votes seriously engage with the wording of WP:NOTDIRECTORY It has six categories - 1 simple lists without contextual information, 2 loosely associated topics, 3 non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations, 4 genealogies, 5 program guides and 6 business directories. This article is clearly not 2, 3, 4, or 5. It has information on specific locations, like historical moves, beyond a simple list. It's not 6 as its function is not to help people find post offices, and it includes branches which were closed. I have addressed in my vote above why this satisfies WP:NLIST.The WP:LISTORG requirement within WP:STANDALONE for organizations is similar to NLIST, which is that individual notability does not need to be shown for each component of the list. Oblivy (talk) 01:05, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- I am only responding to this comment because of your supposition that I have "not seriously engaged" on account of failing to reference the six NOTDIRECTORY categories. With respect, you need to scroll further up the WP:NOT page where it clearly states that
the examples under each section are not exhaustive
. - In no way shape or form has an editor "failed to seriously engage" with WP:NOTDIRECTORY if they don't make explicit reference to one of the six example categories, because per WP:NOT, they are very explicitly just that: non-exhaustive examples. A !delete vote which more broadly states that the article is not in keeping with the spirit of WP:NOTDIRECTORY is a perfectly valid !vote.
- And in case I wasn't clear, I completely disagree with your propositions about categories #1 and #6:
- At best, a slim minority of the articles have substantive "notes" listed about when the post office was founded. The vast majority are a simple listing of their ___location and founding date, with a brief note.
- The inclusion of a handful of closed offices does not transform what is otherwise a business directory into something else, in the same way that the Yellow Pages doesn't become a history textbook as soon as one or two of the phone numbers become outdated. "Its function is not to help people find post offices" is also completely subjective statement of opinion - maybe I say that is what the article's function is. That type of statement without elaboration does not critically engage with the policy.
- There are reasonable, arguable positions to keep or delete - far from "unserious engagement". All of the !votes have seriously engaged. FlipandFlopped ㋡ 02:03, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- I was careful to say nobody had engaged with the wording of NOTDIRECTORY, which in the case of an organization includes the six categories. Sorry if you feel I'm mischaracterizing your argument, but IMHO "Per [[WP:NOTDIRECTORY]]" is just namechecking the policy without applying it. If you disagree I'm OK with that but I stand by my comment. Oblivy (talk) 02:13, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

- Delete for me the question is whether the information is indiscriminate per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. And for me the way to tell if it is would be to apply the same rules to a different example. For example, mainland china has tens (possibly hundreds) of thousands of post offices. Would a theoretical page containing all those be "discriminate", in the sense of the opposite of indiscriminate, information? Do we really want these kinds of lists for every country in the world that has post offices, given that it is highly likely that almost every country has had their post offices discussed as a group? I say no. We don't need lists of post offices, or McDonalds locations or churches dedicated to a saint or locations or benches with a view. JMWt (talk) 16:32, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

- Weak keep. This seems fine, I can find a handful sources on this pseudoscientific supplement (more often under the alternate name "honey pack"). A warning from the Belizean government,[1] television news coverage in Arizona,[2] and a warning from the US government that some of these products secretly contain actual pharmaceuticals[3][4] leading to discussion in trade publications for pharmacists[5] and emergency medicine physicians.[6] I don't see anything to support the above claims of spam or promotional language, especially after Bilby's cleanup a week preceding the AfD nomination. In fact, the article is highly critical of the topic and treats it as I would expect any article on a junk health supplement. I am suspect of the nomination itself, which feels LLM-written to me. It came days after the article cleanup, and the AfD notice was first placed by Marie20123 but the nomination statement was written later by Emilio102wiki. Marie20123 was then shortly thereafter blocked for undisclosed paid editing. I'm not sure what exactly is going on here but the deletion rationale doesn't line up with the state of the article or indicate any WP:BEFORE. It might need some copyediting but I don't see a proper rationale for deletion. If this doesn't meet WP:LASTING it might be worth merging into honey or another article on junk supplement trends, but I don't really see the specific issues raised so far in the nomination.

Having trouble finding reliable sources that cover this 007 concept in depth. The sources in the article are a Wired article with a passing mention, and a podcast with a passing mention in the podcast summary. Additional googling (to try to figure out what this 007 concept really means, since it's physically impossible for someone to work 24 hours a day 7 days a week) left me confused and without a good understanding of this concept, suggesting this concept isn't really covered by reliable sources in enough detail. Appears to fail the WP:SIGCOV part of WP:GNG. –Novem Linguae (talk) 14:07, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- As you have said before on the 007 talk. It likely means the company has a 24/7 work schedule and not the people. It could mean the worker lives next to his computer and takes breaks as needed for sleeping so technically never off the clock. It depends on what their definition of rotational work force means not ours. I believe quoting the sources are sufficient and adding our commentary to explain the insanity/illogic of the concept is not my job to start over thinking it. If you think about it, how many other business paradigms articles covered by WP are essentially smoke and mirrors from businesses covering up something else? The sources are Wired magazine and NPR are not fly by night organizations and they thought it was important to include in their work so it should be be mentioned in WP. Septagram (talk) 16:13, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- "Rotational work force" is a bit vague. I don't know what that means without further explanation, and the sources I went looking for to explain this didn't really fully explain this. But anyway, that can be discussed on the article talk page if the article is kept. The fundamental problem from a Wikipedia deletion guideline perspective is that this topic probably doesn't pass WP:GNG's "significant coverage" bullet. Significant coverage in my opinion is about 3 meaty paragraphs of detail about the concept, in about 3 reliable sources. Some other editors might have lower standards such as 2 and 2, but no matter what, we need more than just passing mentions of one or two sentences, I think. –Novem Linguae (talk) 17:05, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: I think there is enough coverage in reliable sources to support mentioning the 007 working hour system on Wikipedia. But there probably is insufficient coverage to support a standalone article as the sources I found largely provide passing mentions of the subject. The 007 working hour system has been called "an exaggeration" (Cheuk 2021 ), "a joke" (Dai & Tao 2019 ), and a way for "mocking the system" (Mukherjee 2025 ). The 007 working hour system usually is discussed alongside the 996 working hour system. Possible merge targets are 996 working hour system and Labor relations in China. Here are sources I found about the subject:

The book notes: "The grinding 9-9-6 work culture is widely used in some of China's most prestigious IT corporations. To borrow the words of Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba (one of China's largest IT corporations), this culture represents a fortune bestowed on those who work hard and earn high salaries. The condition in some corporations is even worse, due to a new work ethic coded as 007, which means working from midnight to midnight, seven days a week, and resting only on rota-tions. Both work cultures overtly defy the Labor Law enacted in 1995."

- English-language sources:
- Some of the sources say 007 came about due to Work From Home (WFH) during the Covid pandemic. Others mention people living at the office 24/7. A few do use the term in a humorous way, but mostly it is serious and becoming more common as the work force becomes more competitive. Septagram (talk) 00:36, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- I agree there are references to it as a joke, which seems to be the best explanation. It strains credulity to believe a 168 work week is "becoming more common". It's not only illegal but probably physically and mentally impossible to accomplish (consider debates on errors by long-rotation MD residents) on anything but a short-term basis. Stories like Oriental Daily strain the sometimes-narrow credibility ODN has. Based on what @Cunard has found this AfD probably ends with keep, but the article if kept needs to express greater incredulity at any suggestion this is a genuine, common practice. Oblivy (talk) 02:08, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to 996 working hour system. Per WP:PAGEDECIDE if inclusion in a larger article would provide useful additional context then it can be included there rather than in a stub. This would resolve the greater incredulity needed issue and we can revive the article if (somehow) this becomes a thing that is having a real world impact rather than what appears to be absurd hyperbole about employer expectations Oblivy (talk) 02:06, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
- What about the sources that say 007 came about due to Work from Home (WFH) during the Covid pandemic and people living at the office 24/7?

Septagram (talk) 03:16, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
- I see a lack of serious inquiry and evidence from press outlets claiming an actual 168 hour work week. Do you believe that people are really at the workplace for 168 hours? The article won't even say for sure. Context is important, and the 996 article will provide it in a way that this article never can. Oblivy (talk) 03:51, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Well written, but just one of many familicides that happen across the nation every year, nor is it even the deadliest one. Perhaps the most notable aspect of the incident is that the mother was the perpetrator, as it is usually a male, but I do not believe this allows it to meet the notability criteria. WP:NOTNEWS Point 4 of WP:EVENTCRITERIA: Routine news events, regardless of how tragic or widely reported at the time, are usually not notable. Raskuly (talk) 02:50, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. Although tragic events of the sort unfortunately happen across the country every year, I believe what particularly stands out about this familicide is not only that it was perpetrated by the mother, but the fact that it took place in a small town in one of the safest states in America, where you least expect an incident like this. As the murder only occurred a week ago, we cannot be too sure that it will fail WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. The diversity of sources isn't much of an issue either, as I've gathered reports from multiple outlets including local newspapers and national news websites. There could be more updates ahead and given the situation it seems quite possible that the significance of this event is lasting. FromNH (talk) 23:40, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting as all events here-the article subject, the writing of the article and its nomination-all happened very recently. I'd like to allow for more discussion but, for editors who are arguing to Keep this article, you should base your opinions in Wikipedia policies, not on specific irrelevant details like the ___location of where this crime happened.

- Delete per 4meter4; it's simply too soon for notablity-proving sources to appear. I can't see anything that makes me think this tradgedy is very likely to have lasting impact; however, if it does (quite possible due to the fact that I believe most famicides are perpetrated by men), then we can always re-create the article. On a similar note, and this is with a nod to the spirit of WP:BLP/WP:BDP, I don't think it's fair to the family and friends of the deceased, or Wikipedia editors, to have to babysit the article until those high-quality, non-breaking news sources are written, as it could easily take 5 to 10 years.

Subject fails to meet the WP:GNG because of a lack of WP:SIGCOV. The only sources are databases which don't support notability, and both searches elsewhere and the corresponding wikis didn't reveal anything better.

- Thank you for clarifying your concerns, and I now better understand your point about many sources being routine announcements or primary material, but I also believe that there is also substantial, independent coverage that goes beyond WP:ROUTINE and WP:PRIMARY. Three of the strongest examples are:
- Variety – “John Wick Creator Derek Kolstad Launches Story Kitchen With Former APA Agent Mike Goldberg, Dmitri M. Johnson” (Sept 2022). This is not a simple announcement but a feature article in a leading industry publication. It discusses the company’s founding, leadership, and positioning within the broader Hollywood/interactive entertainment landscape—qualifying as significant, independent coverage.
- Polygon – “Hollywood is entering a new era of successful and authentic video game adaptations… largely driven by Story Kitchen” (2025). This in-depth feature covers Story Kitchen’s multiple projects (Sonic, Tomb Raider, Sifu, Dredge, It Takes Two, Clair Obscur, etc.) and frames the company as a central force in reshaping how Hollywood handles video game IP. This is clear evidence of WP:CORPDEPTH, as it analyzes industry impact rather than routine announcements.
- Deadline Hollywood – “Story Kitchen Sets First-Look Deal With Amazon MGM Studios” (May 2025). This article provides industry context for a multi-year studio partnership, situating Story Kitchen among comparable companies and showing recognition by one of the most authoritative entertainment outlets.
- Together, these sources demonstrate that Story Kitchen has received significant, reliable, independent coverageconsistent with the requirements of WP:GNG. While some citations in the article are indeed announcements, these three (and others like them) provide the kind of depth that shows clear notability. MLGoldberg (talk) 15:53, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – Story Kitchen has received significant, independent coverage in reliable secondary sources such as Variety, Polygon, and Deadline. These articles go beyond routine announcements or primary sources by providing in-depth analysis of the company’s founding, industry impact, and major partnerships, thereby satisfying WP:GNG and overcoming concerns about WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:PRIMARY. MLGoldberg (talk) 15:57, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for clarifying your concerns, and I now better understand your point about many sources being routine announcements or primary material, but I also believe that there is also substantial, independent coverage that goes beyond WP:ROUTINE and WP:PRIMARY. Three of the strongest examples are:
- Comparing CORPDEPTH for this article:
- 1) Examples of substantial coverage: This article provides an "overview of the history of an organization",
- 2) Audience: This company is in the press more than monthly, and is directly working alongside extremely high-level artists, and creators, in film, tv and games. The audience(s) for the projects that Story Kitchen touches is global, and massive.
- 3) Numerical Facts: This article does not rely on numbers to make a point.
- 4) Significant coverage of the company itself: None of the articles info can easily be lifted and used elsewhere. It's one-of-one data that is only directly applicable to Story Kitchen.
- 4 Is This Trivial Coverage?: As respectfully stated above for (2), this a company working within the mainstream entertainment industry, in an exotic sector (the merging of games and Hollywood), and no other company is myopically focused in this space.
- Lastly, why delete Story Kitchen when there are dozens of other film and television production companies listed, with similar or less interesting businesses (such as Thunder Road, Temple Hill, Blumhouse, Di Bonaventura, Original Film, 87North, etc. Please explain what differences you are seeing so that the Story Kitchen article can be augmented to your satisfaction. MLGoldberg (talk) 02:08, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- If something hasn't been deleted, it's either that they actually pass WP:NCORP due to more media attention, or their non-notability hasn't been noticed.
- The point is that WP:FAME does not matter, it is entirely about media coverage that is non-trivial. You can be in the media a lot, but still not pass the WP:CORPDEPTH policy for the reasons stated there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 02:21, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- Having methodically gone through the CORPDEPTH list (and its sublists), can you please be more specific with the potential issue, or issues as they relate to the article?
- I truly am not seeing what you're seeing, so more context would be supremely appreciated.
- Additionally, do you mind highlighting how this article differs from almost all of your other American film production articles (such as the companies listed above, or hundreds more), that have not been deleted and allowed to remain on Wikipedia?
- I'm truly failing to see that difference as well.
- Examples that appear quite similar to Story Kitchen are:
- Thunder Road, Temple Hill, Blumhouse, Di Bonaventura, Original Film, 87North, Escape Artists, Seven Bucks Productions, Marc Platt Productions, Rideback, etc.
- Moreover, many are also -actually- in Wiki articles, alongside Story Kitchen! MLGoldberg (talk) 02:37, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- With regards to your statement on talk page that I "do not have answers" - I did give you all the necessary answers in my previous response. But if you wish me to be more specific, then I believe that the sources pertain to: "standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage" (such as this being one example), or are alternatively WP:PRIMARY (such as this) interview. If you wish to disprove it, then cite the best three sources you believe do NOT violate CORPDEPTH or are otherwise clear proof of notability.
- Regarding the rest of your statement, that is an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument so I don't believe me or anyone is really obligated to answer that any more than it has already been answered above. If something hasn't been deleted, it's either that they actually pass WP:NCORP due to more media attention, or their non-notability hasn't been noticed. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:32, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

[20][21][22] This certainly contributes [23]. – Ike Lek (talk) 06:06, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

- Comment could reasonably be merged to Vertical blanking interval; the concept is actually tremendously important but would mostly be covered in paper books (such as Michael Abrash's Black Book), or long-since-departed blogs and Dr Dobbs' Journal website things. It's not always called the vertical blank interrupt; it might also be called the vertical retrace interrupt or various other synonyms, and it was tremendously important because back in the days before operating systems took over control of everything, if a programmer wanted to do anything with the graphics memory or graphics settings, without creating noise on the screen (because of conflicts between the graphics processing chip and the microprocessor), s/he had to wait for the vertical retrace and start doing things during that time. It was therefore used extensively in nearly all games designed for CRT-displays pre-Windows. Elemimele (talk) 12:34, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

This article relies almost entirely on primary sources and reads in a very promotional tone. I have left some feedback on the active author's talk page regarding these issues in the hopes that they can be worked on. Failing that, I don't believe this article would be appropriate for mainspace, so I !vote for deletion or a return to draftspace so the issues can be worked on there. 11WB (talk) 00:22, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

- There is no need for deletion. A company that is earning revenue of $1.3 billion has been bought for $3.3 billion, which is not a joke. The user wants to delete a major MNC firm, which is weird. The editor is totally weird. There are 85 listed sources. I vote to keep and maintain the article. To make a non-issue a issue, I will vote for the user who has proposed for deletion to be permanently banned from Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunaita (talk • contribs) 03:46, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
