Non-notable character. Sources 4-8 are trivial mentions at best. I see nothing worth merging. TTN (talk) 22:39, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. I'm usually in pretty firm agreement that the fiction articles TTN nominates need something done, even if I don't always think a neat and tidy deletion is the best approach. But here, I'm wondering exactly what's wrong with the Romper and Uproxx sources, which seem entirely dedicated to a dicussion of the character? Now, certainly, the plot retreads could be later down with section hat links to the earlier novels, but that's an editorial issue. I'd need to pull them to see what all is involved, but there are several scholarly articles that seem to make commentary on the character too. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 00:21, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- There's nothing of substance in any of these sources aside from one paragraph from creators on their decision to include the character, which can easily fit in the main article. They're just a bunch of fluff articles that say nothing. TTN (talk) 00:37, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- What main article? The main point about this character is that they are recurring and so appear in several works. Andrew D. (talk) 11:32, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- The TV show, which is the basis for all of these references. In response to below, sources 1-3 aren't anything special either. I initially paid them no mind because they weren't even used in such a way to even imply they were important. There is little from which to build an article, which is why the person who added them seemingly couldn't even use them in a proper manner. TTN (talk) 14:12, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- The article linked below – Castle Rock (Stephen King) – is about the setting, not the TV show. It seems that there's isn't actually a single main article for this stuff. The character appears in multiple works in multiple media for which we have many articles. It is therefore better to consolidate our information about the character under the obvious heading – his name. Putting it elsewhere would obfuscate the topic and so confuse our readership. There's no reason for this or benefit to be gained. If it works, don't fix it. Andrew D. (talk) 19:33, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- I can't speak for the others who recommended it, but my recommendation to merge to the setting was intentional. All of the works he has appeared in, be it the books, movie adaptation, or current TV show, take place there. He is/was the sheriff and resident of said town, which is why that would be the single main article in which the information regarding him would be appropriately covered. Rorshacma (talk) 19:40, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep There's a glass-half-empty problem with the nomination which dismisses some sources but, by implication, the others are ok. The rest seems to be arguments to avoid such as WP:JNN and WP:ITSTRIVIAL. Relevant policies such as WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE indicate that we should not be considering deletion. Andrew D. (talk) 11:32, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Merge to Castle Rock (Stephen King) which seems like the most clear target for merging. Not individually notable, and the fact that they appear in multiple works doesn't automatically guarantee them an article.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 04:08, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- Merge to Castle Rock (Stephen King). The coverage is niche/passing. This in uproxx is the best source, and it dedicates two paragraphs to the character, summarizing his biography with little analysis outside differences in his bio in book vs movie. I don't think this level of coverage is sufficient for a stand alone entry. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:11, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- Merge to Castle Rock (Stephen King) per above. The coverage is too passing/plot summary based to support an independent article. But, as a major character who has appeared in multiple books/adaptations that take place in the fictional town, merging some of the content to that article makes sense. If it is kept, though, it definitely needs to be rewritten, as the current article is acting like his appearance in the Castle Rock tv series is a direct continuation of his appearances in the book, which it very clearly is not. Rorshacma (talk) 18:32, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- Merge Not independently notable enough for a separate article. Reywas92Talk 20:01, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- Merge Per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 02:19, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Merge. Merge to Castle Rock (Stephen King). The article solely is not notable enough to exist in its own right, so I believe merging is the best option. LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 18:27, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep or Merge perfectly fine article with sourcing that denotes notability. If it is worth merging, it is also worth keeping. WP:PRESERVE Wm335td (talk) 20:45, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

- Possible keep -- The main source is an encyclopedia, presumably a RS. It may have been significant a century ago, but is clearly now defunct, which archives deposited with a Seminary (which presumably considers the archive significant). With a defunct organisation, whose heyday was probably 70-120 years ago, the lack of mentions on the Internet is unsurprising. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:59, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

It seems that this regional insurance company is not sufficiently notable to meet the requirements of our now not-so-very-new WP:NCORP. Yes, it goes about its routine business, and some aspects of that business receive attention (or press-releases?) in the local business press. But despite discussion on the talk-page and the attentions of a (properly-disclosed) paid editor, no solid independent in-depth coverage has been found. Making a loss of $100 million might seem important or even inconceivable to ordinary people, but is not really significant in business terms (Parmalat managed to mislay about $16 billion a few years ago).

- Speedy keep a simple click of the "news" link above shows ample news sources for the company. Google news, etc. Loads of KC Star and such.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:53, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment – I have a COI here (Blue KC is a client), so not voting. I would like to note that Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Blue Shield of California all exist under similar circumstances. Of course, I'm not arguing there is any inherited notability here, just that Wikipedia precedent seems to indicate that the subject matter is notable. Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:49, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Delete per nom or, alternatively, selective merge with Blue Cross Blue Shield Association.In fact, as part of a larger project, I would merge all or most Blue Cross/Blue Shield associations into that target article or, if article length is concerned, to Member companies of Blue Cross Blue Shield Assocation. Doug Mehus (talk) 18:47, 26 October 2019 (UTC)- Redirect to Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. I tagged the original version of the present article with a Notability query in 2013 and more recently gave an assessment of its more recent text at Talk:Blue_Cross_and_Blue_Shield_of_Kansas_City#Notability_query, where I indicated my view that the current article references fell under the WP:ORGCRIT "Examples of trivial coverage". For this AfD I have taken a wider look for anything which might indicate notability for the company: again, I am seeing the routine coverage typical of a company going about its business, but nothing to satisfy WP:NCORP. AllyD (talk) 10:56, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment the nominator's case seems to be that the company is so big that a 100 million dollar loss is insignificant, which I would say would be a reason to keep and not delete. Are you guys really thinking about deleting this article?--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:51, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Paulmcdonald: I'd personally favour a selective merge and redirect to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Assocation than to a delete, but to your question, as I understand it, a company's asset size or revenue is of little bearing in terms of notability. What matters is sufficient reliable sources which establish the organization's notability. No firm guideline as to how many, but the Wikipedia essay WP:THREE provides some guidance that is sometimes used in AfD discussions, as well as in page move and merge discussions. As well, even if there is sufficient reliable sources, WP:CORPDEPTH needs to be considered such that there are sufficient sources to write more than a perennial stub- or start-class article. In terms of company size, Central 1 Credit Union was recently deleted because, aside from the fact it was written like an advertisement, it generated little, if any, significant coverage by reliable sources, despite it having nearly $100 billion CAD in assets under management.Doug Mehus (talk) 04:19, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- When I tagged for notability in 2013 I didn't propose deletion, probably influenced to some extent by size. But really, if all that we can say about a company is that it was founded, offers products to operate in a market and appoints executives, then that is all appropriate for their website but is far from establishing the claim to notability for an article here. That information in the present article also does not really seem appropriate for merger into Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, hence my preference for simple redirect. AllyD (talk) 07:59, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- The standard: "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." This has clearly been met just from the sources in the article alone, but as noted above a quick news search shows a large volume of additional coverage that could just as easily build an article to meet the standards. Subject passes both WP:GNG and WP:NCORP easily.--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:54, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- comment on Central 1 there were no independent sources on that article and the only sources were the company website. This company receives plenty of independent third party coverage.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:01, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment the nominator's case seems to be that the company is so big that a 100 million dollar loss is insignificant, which I would say would be a reason to keep and not delete. Are you guys really thinking about deleting this article?--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:51, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Clearly meets WP:SIGCOV based on the sources already present in the article. It's a large independent licensee, so it is its own entity separate from the parent organization. It has more than a million people that it insures and a lengthy history. It's a reasonable content fork.4meter4 (talk) 23:11, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- 4meter4 You and I agree sometimes, disagree other times. Here we sort of disagree, but not completely since redirect/selective merge is a variation on keep. At any rate, the Kansas City Star articles referenced are all trivial and trite coverage (that is, they relate to product or service announcements and corporate/government partnerships). So, those don't count. Haven't looked through all possible sourcing here, but I trust that the nom and AllyD have done their due diligence. Their rationale is sound. Doug Mehus (talk) 23:16, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- I wouldn't consider corporate/government partnerships trivial as they involve public finances and responsibilities. Here's a non-trivial peer reviewed journal article on an innovative way Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City stopped a doctors' revolt over control of treatment decisions by creating an innovative new model for insurance company/doctor decision making: "Kansas City blues discover talk therapy"; Moskowitz, Daniel; Business and Health, Apr 2000, Vol.18(4), pp.21-22. I found that in under two minutes. I am not so confident the nominators followed WP:BEFORE.4meter4 (talk) 23:30, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- 4meter4 Government partnerships can be tricky; if it's just strict churnalism, then it's trivial, but if the company is directly related to the botched rollout of Obamacare, for example, then that might be significant coverage. Your journal article appears, at first blush, like it might qualify. So, WP:SIGCOV may be met here, but I remain uncertain as to whether WP:CORPDEPTH is met. Ping me if further sources turn up so I consider changing/striking the delete part of my vote. Doug Mehus (talk) 23:35, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- I have two responses: 1) That's not trivial coverage, that's significant coverage that you (apparently) just don't have interest in (a variation of WP:IDONTLIKEIT; and 2) If it were WP:TRIVIAL then it's still one of the Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions as "notability fallacy". The standard is: "The spirit and the letter of the guideline are concerned with having enough content to write articles from a neutral point of view" and that has been exceeded.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:36, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

- Delete or Redirect/Selective Merge to Blue Cross Blue Shield Association - Concur with nom and AllyD. Searching through all 11 pages of Google web search results for "Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City" revealed only trivial press coverage, mostly in local daily and community newspapers and trade publications—lots of company partnerships, service announcements, executive appointments, churnalism, and directory listings (WP:NOTDIR), nothing which meets WP:SIGCOV. Similar story with Google News search results. Not finding anything that would meet WP:SIGCOV, possibly one source, maybe two, but nothing that passes WP:CORPDEPTH on which to write more than a perpetual stub- or start-class article which negatively affects Wikipedia's reputation and editorial integrity. -DM
- Merge/Redirect, although whether to a "Member companies of Blue Cross Blue Shield Assocation." as Dmehus suggested, or to the main "Blue Cross Blue Shield Association" article. Same goes for other member companies that don't have separate notability. - ChrisWar666 (talk) 00:01, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment a word of caution: if Wikipedia were run by majority, then the closing decision would be to delete or merge. However, Consensus is not the same thing as majority. Wikipedia has a significant history of decisions and as process that we use. While certainly consensus can change, the place to change long-standing consensus like the general notability guideline is not in this AFD. The standards have been exceeded, this is not the place to change the standards just to delete an article (no matter how many editors !vote "yes").--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:44, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Huge company, has served millions, sources exist, article could be hugely expanded. All the BC/BS state-level entities have huge history and impact and are notable, i would think. --Doncram (talk) 13:40, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. This is a corp with c. $3 billion in 2018 revenues - if it was freely quoted, it would have a market cap. putting it in touching distance of the S&P500. With 1 million members, at a WP:COMMONSENSE level, it makes no sense to delete this or merge into another article. We clearly have many other standalone BKC WP articles for other states. A google search provides hundreds of refs to this CORP. Would a Kansas WP reader expect to find a WP article on this company - of course they would. Britishfinance (talk) 01:59, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

It has been long-established that we shouldn't have articles on the election-after-next for full cycle elections. See e.g. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United States presidential election, 2024 (3rd nomination) as a recent example (or this, this or this). This article should not exist until 2019 United Kingdom general election is over (and even that article has been moved prematurely as Parliament has not yet ratified the election).

- Keep as per past precedent. We have created pages for the last few UK general elections at the start of the campaigns for the previous elections (see 55th election, 56th election and 57th election). None of these pages were deleted, although the 55th was nominated for deletion the nomination failed. This page has valid information about the election, especially relating to the date. The nominator concedes that, if not already, this page will be valid in 44 days time, so quite different to the example of the 2024 United States presidential election nomination of 2018, where the page would not be valid for over two years. If there is a hung parliament following the 2019 election, this election could take place in a few months time. --Philip Stevens (talk) 21:38, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
Draftiy until 13 December.Keep: Seems silly to delete less than six weeks before needing to recreate it. I think the comparisons to previous deletions of presidential election articles is flawed as, in the UK at least, the second a general election is called there are important political calculations to be made about the following election. 79.77.0.19 (talk) 22:08, 29 October 2019 (UTC)- Delete All content is about UK elections generally and nothing is specifically about the 58th election besides the date. Recreate the article after the current campaign is over when we will have literally a single actual fact about it, even if only 44 days away. Draftify is fine, but this is all just copy-pasted from 2019 United Kingdom general election; it is redundant and serves no purpose. Reywas92Talk 22:10, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. There's only a brief period in which this will be the election-after-next,and as soon as a UK election is called it becomes a distinct entity needing different coverage from the one that comes after it.(The deletion,on the third try,of the 2024 USA presidential election article was an even worse mistake...the date-fixed-by-law-into-the-indefinite-future status of USA elections is more thoroughly established,and of longer standing,than the UK law that has actually only been followed once and has been campaigned against in a major party's manifesto...there is nothing speculative about assuming American election day is not likely to change).12.144.5.2 (talk) 22:15, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Unclear what "on the third try" is supposed to mean. It was deleted on the second nomination too, for very good reason, but recreated over a WP:SALT without consensus. Adding to note that there are zero sources on this 58th election...an article ought to have citations that actually reference the topic (WP:NOTE)... Reywas92Talk 22:44, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Well,I'm especially bitter about people deleting mentions of scheduled American election days from articles on future years,when standing law requires those elections to be held on those dates in those years,while keeping speculative predictions of things that may or may not happen in those years.They may not need full-blown articles yet but no harm is done.The 57th election being called is what makes the 58th something that there can now be articles about...you can't fault there not having been any UNTIL know as a reason not to acknowledge that circumstances have changed.12.144.5.2 (talk) 22:53, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Unclear what "on the third try" is supposed to mean. It was deleted on the second nomination too, for very good reason, but recreated over a WP:SALT without consensus. Adding to note that there are zero sources on this 58th election...an article ought to have citations that actually reference the topic (WP:NOTE)... Reywas92Talk 22:44, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep agree with others, don't see the point in deleting now. The planned date of the election may also be of interest to readers. Bellowhead678 (talk) 22:37, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- WP:INTERESTING is not a policy-based argument to keep. The date could also be mentioned at List of United Kingdom general elections and this redirected there. Reywas92Talk 22:44, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep For the sake of convenience, just keep the article? What is the point in deleting an article that will ultimately be recreated in a number of weeks? No need for this excessive bureaucratic debate over a inevitable article that will eventually come into existence, so why not now when the groundwork has already been laid. Eolais | Talk | Contribs 23:28, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - Agree with Eolais. Deleting or even discussing the deleting of an article that will be recreated in a matter of weeks when there will be no question of its existence is just adding to unnecessary busywork when when editors can be spending more productive time creating new articles of notable topics and improving existing ones.Oakshade (talk) 02:26, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - It'll become much more relevant two months from now. There's no need to delete it now only to inevitably recreate it a few weeks later. --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 05:52, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - Always going to be relevant. It will become relevant soon. Peter Kelford (talk) 09:14, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

- Keep In 5 weeks will need to be created. What is the difference? --Crazyseiko (talk) 21:05, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Weak Keep While I was doubtful and can see the nominator's rationale, the fact that it would almost certainly be created as soon as the 2019 polls close (ie in 6 weeks) means deleting know is probably pointless. Also it is not unknown during election campaigns for discussion to start about the next election and attract a lot of coverage. For instance it may well be that party manifestos include pledges of electoral reform which would come in at the next general election (for instance changes to the voting age) and so might be discussed in the artilce. Dunarc (talk) 23:51, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Draft - move the article to the Draft stage. GoodDay (talk) 20:24, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Per the above. --SalmanZ (talk) 16:02, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Wait it out. The article will inevitably become notable/crucial following the 12th of December, so deleting it now, just to be created in a little more than a month, doesn't make any sense. LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 18:34, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep for simplicity; as noted above, it seems a bit bureaucratic to delete in the expectation that it will be created again, unchanged, before the end of the year (when it will be acceptable)
- (Incidentally, calling it "58th" rather than "next" or a specific date seems an excellent change on what we've done when this has come up in previous years). Andrew Gray (talk) 20:17, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep agree with others, don't see the point in deleting now. WP:NORUSH. The date also may be relevant to our readers. Wm335td (talk) 20:49, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per others as this is a scheduled event and there's a past precedent for these articles. On 13 December we can move it to Next United Kingdom general election, but I guess this isn't possible at present since it would cause confusion. This is Paul (talk) 17:10, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
Comments
edit- Comment Within 1 day this deletion request has already been met with heavy opposition. I believe I speak for most people that there really is no need for the deletion of this article to be deleted. When the hard work is done, why undo it for the sake of it not being relevant right now. It will become relevant once the results of the subsequent election are released; no further reason for this discussion to continue, I think consensus has been reached. Eolais (talk) 21:50, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Agree with Eolais: looks to me like a consensus after good discussion. Errantius (talk) 21:36, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- If the article is going to be kept, then it should be renamed Next United Kingdom general election. -- GoodDay (talk) 13:23, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Not until it is actually the next UK general election. At present the next UK general election is the one before. Kahastok talk 14:20, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Then again, we could use the Canadian example (see 44th Canadian federal election) & stick with the current title. GoodDay (talk) 14:36, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Why shouldn't we just do exactly the same thing as we did in 2017, 2015 and 2010? That is, wait until the current election is finished, and then move the article to Next United Kingdom general election? Kahastok talk 17:35, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

I think we are firmly in Wikia territory here. We have a list of commentators, we have more sports coverage than you can shake a stick at, the Dolphins are still winless after pulling a Falcons Superbowl 2nd half, and we have this YUGE list of pairings? I believe we are falling foul of NOTDIR, for instance. (With apologies for what appears to be a baseball metaphor.) Drmies (talk) 15:26, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

The CBS and NBC articles have been around since 2006, the Fox article since 2007, and the ABC/ESPN article since this year. List of NFL on Westwood One Sports announcers, NHL on Versus commentator pairings, NHL on Fox commentator pairings, List of ESPN College Football broadcast teams, List of Major League Baseball on Fox broadcasters, ESPN College Basketball broadcast teams, Olympics on NBC commentators are also relevant to this discussion.

- Hmm we have an Eagles fan here--or so they claim. Tell us how much you hate Dallas, so we can verify your credentials. Drmies (talk) 15:33, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm all in favor of lists of commentators. They're often independently notable; there's a long tradition of writing about the quality, color, and character of the people talking about the quality, color, and character of sports events. But pairings? For lists of commentator pairings to be notable separate from just lists of commentators, I'd think, per list policy, that the concept of commentator pairings would need to be notable. And, it's ... well, not, at least as far as I can tell. So my preference in the broader sense would be to delete any pairings list where the corresponding commentator list exists, convert pairings lists to commentators lists where the former exists but not the latter (if there are any), and retain any pure commentator lists. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:50, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Delete agree with nominator and Squeamish Ossifrage. The idea of commentator pairings just isn't notable. This list just becomes an (accurate) trivia list. I would also support deletion of each one of the lists noted by Eagles247 for the same reason. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:33, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- I'll note that of that list, at least List of Major League Baseball on Fox broadcasters is formatted in terms of pairings, but doesn't appear to have a corresponding simple list of commentators, and so is better restructured that deleted. That may be true of some of the others as well; I'm not really excited enough to dig into this mess that deeply. Olympics on NBC commentators is probably a special case that warrants independent editorial examination regardless. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:46, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

I've looked for reliable sources, mentions in books and news for Robert Straube artist and Bob Straube artist. I've found a few snippets, some local press, a mention of him writing about his heart problems, but nothing that seems to back up notability and certainly not to the extent that he "may have been one of the most printed artists in American history" which is at best PEACOCK and at worst looks like a hoax.

- Delete, somewhat regrettably. Based on what little we have to go on from this stub, I'm pretty sure the subject was the artist responsible for several of the backgrounds used for the checks printed by the Deluxe Corporation. As they're one of the largest check-printing companies, that might very well make Straube's claim to be one of the most-printed American artists one of those "technically true" sort of things — although clearly not in the way people expect. Unfortunately, for Wikipedia to have anything to say on the matter, there has to be coverage in reliable sources. And the people in these sorts of corporate graphic design positions, even when their work is encountered everyday, just don't attract attention by reliable third-party authors... which appears to be exactly the case here. As far as I can tell, Deluxe doesn't even mention the artists responsible for its checks themselves (which makes sense, as this sort of work was almost certainly done as work-for-hire). Barring some sources that somehow evaded my search, we're left with no alternative but deletion. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:36, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Promotion article for none notable forcefield EvilxFish (talk) 15:03, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep as notable (subject of multiple WP:RS)...no MMFF is included in many popular molecular molecular-modelling programs and various independent secondary-source articles likewise state that it is popular/important and worthy of being studied and evaluated (rather that just published for others to use). See for example doi:10.1186/s13321-014-0037-3 and arXiv:1705.04308. I don't see promotional/WP:NPOV content, but if so that would certainly merit being cleaned up. DMacks (talk) 18:06, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- If what you are saying is correct then the article should be kept, note both of those references are primary though.

- Indeed, second-person (independent), but not "a review article on the topic" (WP:SECONDARY). DMacks (talk) 17:09, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. I'm really out of my element on this particular flavor of chemistry topic, but there's clearly discussion of the Merck Molecular Force Field in quite a few book-format chemistry works in addition to scads of journal hits. This Kluwer Academic computational chemistry textbook goes so far to call MMFF "popular" (as of 2004, at least), and frankly that's probably good enough evidence as any. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 19:20, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- An easy keep on the basis that other researchers not associated with Halgren or his affiliation have written on the subject. For instance both [2] and [3] have MMFF in the paper's title.

- Smerge to Welfare Party of India, assuming that independent RS can be found to support that article (which might be the case based on an extremely cursory search), or else delete. My initial reaction was to advocate for retention here, because we have articles for the state affiliates of the US Republican and Democratic parties. However, that's not really analogous. List of political parties in India tells us that (as of 2017, apparently) there were "8 national parties, 52 state parties and 1785 unrecognised parties", of which the Welfare Party of India is one of the latter; its article is currently entirely sourced to the party's own self-published website. If there is coverage of some of these literal third-tier parties in reliable sources, there's no problem with having articles for them (clearly, we don't have an article for all 1785 of them!), but they need sourcing. And there's certainly no expectation that their subsidiary affiliates would warrant inclusion. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:54, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

I don't read Italian well, but numerous sources within Google Scholar's 28 hits on "Circolo Lenin" look like they have substantial mentions of the club, which looks like it adds up. Also search in general Google yields 4,030 hits. One hit is this Youtube video which seems to be about the 40th anniversary of Circolo Lenin in Puglia, like a conference panel or something, back in 2009 (it was founded in 1969).

- @TTN: Sigh. It's a gamble. Sometimes they work, but you need a tool like TW to keep track because the odds are that half the time some inclusionist will just discard prod 'because'. I still bother with prods, but about half end up here, including for pretty clear, unreferenced content. It helps to suggest in prod that 'this can be redirected to x', then it may be soft deleted instead. Or you can just be bold and redirect such stuff, the problem here is that if you are undone there is often no notificaiton. AfD at least makes undo of redirects less likely.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:12, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

- Thanks, Störm, but even before 2017 wasn't the standard supposed to be proof of the school's existence? Today I found exactly one RS from 2009 that appears to be an official and independent source. There may have been offline sources, but nothing more online. Three other sources here, here and here appear to be commercial directories, the last more of a blog with a pop-up window advertising how "to be the top-listed school in Faisalabad", presumably by paying a fee to the host site. I understand the last AfD was a procedural keep based on the 2017 RfC, but maybe I shouldn't be surprised that the article has been tagged for lack of sources since 2013 (almost within half hour of its creation!), and also that no one has removed the promotional text/tone since then.

DeleteKeepThe article does not make a claim of importance or significance for the subject. 2 of the sources are routine business announcements that do not satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH; 2 are primary. Looking on the Web I find loads more routine business announcements in reliable sources but that also do not satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. Does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NCORP.-Lopifalko (talk) 11:10, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- I changed my opinion from delete to keep because of WP:SIGCOV that came to light during this AfD, namely: Irish Times, The Times and Independent. -Lopifalko (talk) 14:33, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. To my read, WP:CORPDEPTH is met. While (at time of nom) there are only two sources in the article (and the article does need work, per the longstanding tags), the subject has been the primary topic in extensive coverage over the years in the two Irish newspapers of record. Namely the Irish Times and Irish Independent. In the latter for example there is coverage, across two decades, which includes examples of unfavourable coverage (1999), regulatory oversight (2000), "explanatory" coverage (2008), through to acquisition coverage (2018) and recent events (2019). There is similar levels of coverage in the Irish Times, as well as examples in the The Times (London), Irish Examiner, Financial Times, etc. Are there limited relevant links/refs in the article? Absolutely! Are there limited relevant links/coverage in the universe? Nope. (Does the article warrant improvement? Yes! Does the article warrant deleting? No! Not on CORPDEPTH/SIGCOV grounds at any rate. Not in my view.) Guliolopez (talk) 16:48, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

- Response Hi Lopifalko. Of the multiple examples returned in the Irish Times search, this one (covering the subject's foundation, history, etc) stands out. Otherwise, this piece (in The Times (UK)) covers McCarthy and the history of his business in equal measure. Otherwise I would question the suggestion that this type of coverage doesn't contribute to SIGCOV/CORPDEPTH. Given that it is part of a "prolonged" series "regarding a corporate merger[/acquisition/sale]". (There are plenty of WP:CORPSPAM articles in the project. Involving relatively small or short-lived companies or web-properties that have garnered coverage only on the basis of the funding they have raised, or the product launch coverage they have garnered, or the controversy they may have briefly courted. This subject doesn't, to my read, fall into the same bracket.) My "keep" recommendation remains. There are sufficient examples of significant/in-depth coverage to demonstrate that NN is met.

- Incorrect on two counts. Firstly, these are not "related topics" but actual meanings of mobile infantry. Secondly, dead wrong that only Heinlein's fictional force takes this name; the Military Review uses the term, giving it some official credence; also in here,here and here. Much as I like Heinlein, he doesn't have a monopoly on the term. SpinningSpark 22:48, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Per WP:DABCONCEPT, "If the primary meaning of a term proposed for disambiguation is a broad concept or type of thing that is capable of being described in an article, and a substantial portion of the links asserted to be ambiguous are instances or examples of that concept or type, then the page located at that title should be an article describing it and not a disambiguation page." (bolding mine) Whether an article could be written about infantry that happens to be more mobile than "leg" infantry is a separate question, but what we have here is not "perfectly valid disambiguation". Clarityfiend (talk) 05:54, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- You can't have it both ways. If it is questionable whether a broad concept article could be written then DABCONCEPT doesn't apply, and if DABCONCEPT does apply then the page should be converted to a stub. Either way, deletion is not the answer. SpinningSpark 08:30, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

- The recent changes don't seem significant. What's more relevant is the more discursive version in the page's history.

- Keep The current version seems a perfectly valid article, although additional source citations would not come amiss. The previous version seemed to me to be a perfectly valid DAB page,if an unusual one. Which is batter can be discussed on the talk page after this is closed. A straight list article on this topic could also be done. The original nom did not list any policy-based reason for deletion, and I see none now. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 02:39, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. As I stated before, it is not a valid dab page. Entries must be referred to as/synonymous with "mobile infantry", and none that are listed qualify. Examples are specifically excluded by WP:DABCONCEPT, as noted above. As for my reason for deletion, I question whether the term is officially recognized/defined, as opposed to something like "fast car", a term that crops all the time, but is just as unworthy of an article. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:03, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- I don't take such a narrow view of what can be a valid DAB page in exceptional circumstances, and I think an argument could be made that each of the linked terms is sufficiently synonymous with "mobile infantry" that an unusual DAB page could be permitted to exist, and helps readers. As for WP:DABCONCEPT you can't have it both ways. As I belive was suggested above, if there is a potentially valid article about the concept of "mobile infantry" in general (not just in the RAH novel) then the current version is a start on such an article and should not be deleted. If that is not a valid article topic, then DABCONCEPT does not apply. In neither case is deletion the proper answer, as per WP:ATD. Even if it is decided that neither a DAB nor an article is appropriate, a redirect to the articel about the concept in teh RAH novel seems useful, and that does not need an AfD. I still see no policy-based reason to delete, and certainly none was mentioend in the original nomination. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 15:54, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Each of the entries is a subset of "mobile infantry", not a synonym. A tank is a motor vehicle. Does that make them synonyms? Again, where is there anything more than passing uses of the phrase. No mentions at all (or anything even remotely close) in Infantry Branch (United States) or Infantry of the British Army, for example. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:31, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment A WP:BEFORE search as to whether this could be a valid article topic brought up only Starship Trooper articles, but a newspapers.com search shows the term "mobile infantry" was in use a lot during World War II. I could not find any articles in the immediate which would denote any sort of notability to a larger article, but I don't think it's impossible. I generally agree with the nominator this is not a valid disambiguation page, looking at both the current version and the page originally nominated for deletion, but I also think it's possible that it could be.

I created this page ages ago because I remembered his rendition of "I'm Gonna Hurt Her on the Radio". However I'm struggling to find any information on him at all besides the brief AllMusic bio. Billboard published a review of his debut single but gave him no other attention. "Keith Perry" + "Curb Records" returns nothing whatsoever on Newspapers.com -- not even The Tennesseean, a newspaper based in Nashville, saw fit to cover an artist who was on a Nashville-based label for 5+ years. The only other hits on American Radio History are passing mentions such as release dates for his singles, mentioning that he is part of the label's roster, or other uninformative fluff.
While he does meet one criterion of WP:NMUSIC with two albums on a notable label (Curb Records), one of the two was merely a covers album that got no attention whatsoever. None of his singles or albums charted anywhere, and he doesn't seem to have gotten any sort of media attention. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 09:02, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

- Comment I'll be curious to see how this AfD nomination is resolved. Many editors will cite the fact that he has an AllMusic bio plus two releases on a major label, thus an automatic "keep". Yet other's will point out that his efforts resulted in no measurable success or significant coverage and vote delete based on the "may be notable" qualifier regarding criteria. I find it a curious case study in how otherwise failed musicians are deemed encyclopedic-worthy by wiki standards, something that happens all too frequently here. I'll hold off for voting now on the possibility that significant coverage exists. After all, his career pre-dates (barely) the era of broad online coverage; sources may exist in 90's era print publications that are difficult to track down by googling. ShelbyMarion (talk) 14:06, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
- As I said, there are plenty of possible sources for musicians whose careers predate the Internet age. Americanradiohistory.com has thousands of issues of Billboard, Radio & Records, Gavin Report, and other trade publications. The Nashville newspaper is on Newspapers.com and in the past has proven helpful in expanding the articles of even 80s and 90s country artists (see Tracy Lawrence, Steve Wariner, Eddy Raven, etc.). Even Dale Daniel has gotten more coverage despite having only one non-charting album on a lesser label. See also cases like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Waycross (band) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Spurs where there seems to be a consensus that meeting at least one criterion of WP:NMUSIC is not always enough if reliable sources don't exist. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:28, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. There's a bio and two album reviews at Allmusic. One of his albums appears to have made the Billboard Hot Country Albums chart (can't see the details in the Google Books snippet).

- Billboard.com does not have any chart listings for Keith Perry on Top Country Albums or otherwise. What is the snippet that you found on such? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 06:23, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
- Billboard has a habit of messing up their chart archives so I wouldn't rely on their website. Google Books gives a search result here for ["Keith Perry" curb] in Joel Whitburn Presents Hot Country Albums: Billboard 1964 to 2007, p. 321. He gets a mention, but it's hard to tell what for exactly. --Michig (talk) 07:02, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Michig:, The reference appears to be to a multi-artist album on Curb, on which Keith Perry was but one participant, and likely chosen only because Curb likes to re-issue stuff 9 billion times. Back issues of Billboard confirm that Keith Perry indeed did not have a single or album chart anywhere. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:16, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. And, indeed, per the arguments made in the original AfD. Namely that the only coverage that seems to be available, of which the subject is the primary topic, is the article in the Irish Examiner. A single article of this type doesn't meet WP:SIGCOV. The other coverage, in which the subject is mentioned, is substantively about other topics, and the subject is largely just referred to in passing - together with other people working in media (like the Irish Independent piece, the CV style bios on rte.ie, etc.) The only mentions of the subject that I can find, since the original AfD, include this type of thing or this. Which is the type of general activity to be expected for someone working in media. But doesn't contribute to WP:SIGCOV or WP:FILMMAKER or similar. Guliolopez (talk) 10:24, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Weak delete - Disagree that WP:NOWORK is a good reason for deletion. However, in my WP:BEFORE I only see two sources giving significant coverage to the subject, both of which are interviews and as such of dubious independence from the subject (1 2). You'd think there'd be more, but absent that this fails WP:GNG. FOARP (talk) 14:50, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. The fact that the article hasn't been improved since the first discussion is not a deletion criterion in and of itself — but what is more determinative is that the reason it hasn't been improved is because there aren't any genuinely solid sources to improve it with. Two of the three sources here are a primary source and a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article whose core subject is something else, neither of which are support for notability — and while there is one source that's both reliable and non-trivially about him, even just a basic GNG pass requires more than just one such source.

- Delete I find very little coverage in accessible sources, at least from her time in the US. The report mentioned in this article is in a newspaper (the San Francisco Chronicle) which is not on Newspapers.com for the relevant years (maybe other editors have access through different databases, and can say how significant it is). But even if it is significant coverage, we would need more than just one article to meet WP:GNG, and I don't see it. There are some mentions, including a report of the ship launch, and when she and her husband were guests at an American-Russian Friendship banquet in 1944 (that tells us that she was an expert in silk manufacture, not mentioned in this article) - but other than that, there are just photos of her arriving to board the ship to leave the US in 1948. (Identified - not sure what the article means about correspondents failing to identify her.) From what the article says about her activities in the US and in Russia, she would not meet any WP:SNGs either. (There is significant coverage of her husband, so I don't think there would be a question of his notability.) (I'm glad to have seen the photo of her cat, gorgeous - but sadly no reason to keep it on Wikipedia.) RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:50, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- DeleteThank you for your time and expertise. I agree that the picture of OTL doesn’t reflect her activity during WWII. The main reason why I submitted this article for Wiki is because there were literally thousands of wives of Russian-Soviet diplomats that are worth a blank page. The Wiki article on Lydia Gromyko is extremely poorly written and has questionable citations (mainly in Russian). Whereas OTL (1942-1944) in publications is remembered as a socially active person. She defied the stereotypes characteristic of Russian-Soviet diplomats wives. The photo of the “oversized woman in furs” leaving the car on the dock In 1948 and called “mommy Lomakin” is not OTL ! A lot of mistakes are made in when chasing for sensation. See the pictures on the family arrival in Sweden. Thank you for reminding me that she was expert in silk manufacture. Please give me a lead to the “American-Russian friendship banquet 1944”, I can’t find it. I regret if the article will be deleted, little is known of the people that worked together during the American Russian alliance. Write me if I can improve the article in any way. I still find that OTL and her time are worth remembering. Thanks again User:Ludaleib (talk) 13:24, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But this literally doesn't even try to demonstrate that he had any preexisting notability for any other reason besides the candidacy, and the only reference is his own political party's self-published website about itself rather than a notability-conferring reliable or independent source, which means he's passed neither of the other two paths to making an unelected candidate more notable than other unelected candidates. And furthermore, I suspect some form of conflict of interest editing here, since the page creator has "Kumawat" in their username and their edit history has been devoted entirely to people whose surname was also Kumawat — I don't know whether these people are all one family or not, but there's certainly a singular focus on the name.

- Delete. I did not know that PORNBIO had been deprecated in favour of judging porn actors directly against regular ENT criteria, but I'm pleased that it has — it's always been used to try to draw a circle of protection around porn actors who couldn't actually show any acceptable sourcing for their notability claims at all. And this is one of them: not a single footnote present in this entire article would have been acceptable in a BLP of a mainstream actor at all: directories, YouTube clips, blogs and primary sources all. If somebody wants to create their own separate WikiPorn for Wikipedia-style articles about porn actors, be my guest — but Wikipedia has to maintain encyclopedic standards of notability and referenceability.

- First and foremost: per AfD guidelines please keep all conversation on the article, not the editors. Second, WP:COI says it CAN create a conflict of interest if there is any relationship between the editor and the subject of the article, not that it inherently DOES. Third, of the 8 references cited, only two are social media, neither of them are personal pages (therefore not excluded as WP:RS). The majority of the sources are not directly related to the band but present factual data of the band’s activities. Although I’m not familiar with the first website listed in the references section, it appears to be completely independent of both the band and any production agency the band has worked with. The third reference appears to display the band’s recorded work, which is a measure toward WP:NMUSIC notability, however it’s a very subjective view. There is no rubric by which to measure, so I can simply say that what looks like three studio releases and one live release are notable enough to me.

- Delete The article does not cite a single source, making this original research from start to end. I couldn't find significant coverage in independent, reliable sources for it to surpass GNG (not surprising given the level of minutia we're dealing with). There's a wikia out there to cover this kind of content. RetiredDuke (talk) 15:26, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Olivet Comets football. No desire to keep; strongest consensus to Redirect, with Olivet Comets football as the most practical available option (non-admin closure) Britishfinance (talk) 08:46, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Unremarkable seasons for the Olivet Comets, a Division III college football team. Olivet College is a small college with only 1,040 students. Division III seasons should be limited to something extraordinary which these are not. No sources in articles to show that these season would pass WP:GNG and a WP:BEFORE search does not find such sources.

- Redirect to Olivet Comets football. Not notable as others have mentioned, but WP:NSEASONS suggests a redirect is appropriate in this case. Smartyllama (talk) 18:52, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- I agree that Redirect per WP:NSEASONS would be a better choice.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:01, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- I might be inclined to support redirect if there were a meaningful place to redirect, but in this case the Olivet Comets football article is a one-sentence sub-stub which in its entirety reads: "The Olivet Comets football program represents Olivet College in college football at the NCAA Division III level." Cbl62 (talk) 12:22, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- Sometimes we have to create the destination. I suggest that re-directing to a season article for the conference is one place. The aforementioned Olivet Comets football is another.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

- Comment. It appears that the major contributor @Bagabondo: didn't come here, and instead answered on their talkpage without following the instructions for replying. I'm unfamiliar with architecturaldigest but 'brandequity' is hosted on the indiatimes website, so might be closer to an WP:RS. I think given more time and more WP:RS this article could be ok. - ChrisWar666 (talk) 00:23, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

- Delete The criteria for notability requires that there are multiple references which provide significant coverage with in-depth information on the company. These references must contain independent content which is defined as follows: Independent content, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. On analysis, most references fail as the content is not independent, relying on interviews/quotations from the CEO and company announcements or content created by connected sources. Topic fails GNG/NCORP. HighKing++ 11:19, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
