This individual is notable only for his role in the Assassination of Indira Gandhi. Aside from being one of the assassins of Indira Gandhi, he has no notability whatsoever. Per WP:CRIME, A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person.
Therefore, this article should be deleted and redirected to Assassination of Indira Gandhi. Please see related AfD at: [[1]] May His Shadow Fall Upon You Talk 22:15, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

- Keep as a highly notable subject. This was not some random crime but Assassination of the then Prime Minister of India. The Guideline that nominator is quoting above states "..should not normally be..". Well the murder of the sitting PM is not a normal crime. The assassins of Kennedy, Lincoln etc are similar cases who have their own article. In such high profile cases the subject gets intense national and international coverage which makes the subject pass all criteria of WP:GNG. As expected Beant Singh's act made him popular and multiple notable events such as, election victory of his widow and father, in Lok Sabha, honour by Akal Takht, annual felicitation etc were caused as a result of this act. All of these cannot simply be merged to the assassination page. There are enough sources in the article, hence I dont feel the need to post here.--DBigXrayᗙ 09:40, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - one of the few assassins who actually changed history. There's plenty of good evidence that his legacy continues to this day. Bearian (talk) 14:12, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Bearian: - He is definitely notable, but he's notable for this crime alone. Given that there's only perhaps a few sentences in this article that's not in the assassination article, per WP:CRIME he should not have an independent article. May His Shadow Fall Upon You Talk 14:27, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- @May His Shadow Fall Upon You: - Assassins are often kept as as exception to WP:CRIME. I don't see how consensus has changed on this. Deleting this would create a terrible precedent, or worse, devalue the life of a women leader of color if we kept Sirhan Sirhan, Mark David Chapman, John Wilkes Booth, and Lee Harvey Oswald. We even have articles about those who kill the assassins (Boston Corbett and Jack Ruby). We should keep all of these articles. Bearian (talk) 14:36, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Bearian: - None of those other articles are up for AfD, nor should they really interfere with the AfD on the basis that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The undeniable fact is that the article for the Singh assassins contain almost no information over and above what's in the assassination article. I count only perhaps three or four sentences that could easily be ported over. Assassins are not mentioned at WP:OUTCOMES so I'm not sure why you linked that. This seems like a clear-cut WP:CRIME situation. May His Shadow Fall Upon You Talk 14:40, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- IMHO the article passes our notability criteria due to being the perpetrator of a major crime with international ramifications. Hence deserves a standalone article.
- There are other notable events that has occurred to the subject and his family as a result of assassination, some of them are already in the article some more should be added, since our article is incomplete IMHO. This is exactly the reason why the subject merits another article.
- There are more than a few sentences here, and a notable stub is a reason to expand, not to delete and merge. We wont have stubs if we go down that road.--DBigXrayᗙ 16:41, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- It's true that the subject of the article passes notability criteria, but the community consensus established in WP:CRIME is that a perpetrator who is known only for his crime (and the repercussions of that crime) should not have a standalone article but rather be included in the article about the event. 100% of the notability for this subject stems from his role in the assassination of Indira Gandhi. Therefore, as per community consensus, this should not be a standalone article - unless you have some reason to think that this individual is notable for a reason that has nothing to do with the assassination.

- Keep. Of course assassins of high-profile politicians are notable. "This individual is notable only for his role in the Assassination of Indira Gandhi. Aside from being one of the assassins of Indira Gandhi, he has no notability whatsoever." So, like Lee Harvey Oswald then! Someone else who is notable only for assassinating someone famous. Yes, more is written about Oswald, but the stated reason for deletion just does not hold water. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:37, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- keep mostly per the keep votes above. Also, wikipedia is not a bureaucracy, we have to use our logic at times. Also, WP:CRIME is guideline, not a policy. The subject has plenty of coverage. Not as much as Oswald, but it is enough. John Wilkes Booth was not notable as an actor, without the assassination; he wouldnt have an article either. —usernamekiran(talk) 02:29, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Does not appear to meet notability guidelines. References are often self-published, or parroting unverifiable claims made by the artist. For example one reference contains the oft-repeated claim that the artist won the "HugFest Artist Appreciation Award" in 2017. Either this award is so insignificant even the internet hasn't noticed its existence, or it is completely made up. According to a video on Lele XO's own Youtube channel Hugfest was held at Harbor House in Detroit, MI. Yet searches for "HugFest" "harbor house" or "HugFest" "detroit" 2017 provide no evidence this event happened at all, which in the days of everything being publicised across multiple social media platforms is unusual to say the least. The claim of a single rearching #110 on SNEP Charts in France should also be taken with a pinch of salt. The reference is actually for downloaded albums (note, for some reason Chrome confusingly translates "Top Albums Téléchargés" as "Top Albums Uploaded" while translating "Top Singles Téléchargés" as "Top Singles Downloaded"), the general albums chart can be seen here and doesn't have LeLe XO in the top 200. I haven't been able to independently verify any of the claims about iTunes charts. FDW777 (talk) 20:27, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

KEEP - References were not self published and it appears that the person who put in for the deletion has targeted this page repeatedly. The policy below should be considered. When it was possible to find links updates can and should be made instead of deletions by editors. I have found links and sources and added them with ease. Main page: Wikipedia:Editing policy If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page. Vandalism to a page's content can be reverted by any user.
Disputes over page content are usually not dealt with by deleting the page, except in severe cases. The content issues should be discussed at the relevant talk page, and other methods of dispute resolution should be used first, such as listing on Wikipedia:Requests for comments for further input. Deletion discussions that are really unresolved content disputes may be closed by an uninvolved editor, and referred to the talk page or other appropriate forum.
Disagreement over a policy or guideline is not dealt with by deleting it. Similarly, issues with an inappropriate user page can often be resolved through discussion with the user.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rinkgypsy007 (talk • contribs) — Rinkgypsy007 contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- The Hug Detroit festival does exist [5], [6], but I can't see any indication that this is a notable award ceremony. Richard3120 (talk) 10:05, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
Do you live in Detroit? Perhaps it's a significant award ceremony there. Not every notable event happens in LA or NEW York. Detroit has a rich history of music (Motown)
- Comment Yes, I saw "Hugfest Awards" had been changed to "Hug Detroit Spirit Awards" since the nomination. Sadly this does raise the problem that the sources that parrot the HugFest Artist Appreciation Award in 2017 claim are unreliable, since they have failed rather miserably on fact checking and accuracy. FDW777 (talk) 10:10, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment The website states awards ceremony has gone on for 9 years. Other than the Detroit Music awards (26 years), which she is nominated for it appears to be the only local awards event Rinkgypsy007 (talk) 17:55, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - At this time, there are 38 references in the article, yet not a single one of them establishes notability. The bulk of the referencing simply verifies facts such as links to itunes or event listings and do nothing to establish notability. There are sites which list the singer's profile information, but are simply directories. What little there is in terms of articles are interviews and what reads as regurgitations of press release hype. -- Whpq (talk) 13:21, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

WP:BLP of an actor, not reliably sourced as clearing an WP:NACTOR criterion. As written, this consists of a single 10-word sentence stating that he exists, and then jumps straight to listing his filmography without contextualizing his significance at all, and is "referenced" solely to the WorldCat directory entry of a single educational DVD on which he was a production consultant and not even an actor. As always, however, actors are not automatically deemed notable just because the article happens to list roles -- having roles is the job description, so every actor who exists at all would always get an automatic notability freebie if all the article had to do was include a list of roles. Rather, the notability test for an actor still requires some actual evidence of reliable source coverage: entertainment reporting about him, film reviews which single his performance out for dedicated attention, news stories about him winning a notable acting award, that sort of thing -- simply offering one piece of cursory verification in a directory that a film he was involved in exists is not enough.

- Delete. I did a google news search. I don't see any significant coverage, no Oscar nominations, no famous roles. His role in Flipper was probably his most significant, and it is a supporting role at best. -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:42, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete I see no evidence any of his roles rise to being notable. To be fair this article actually tries harder than many of our articles on actors to present sources, we have lots sourced only to IMDb. Also we have lots that are just 1 sentance and then a list of films. Articles on actors are crying out for some good editing to provide contexts of notability or massive numbers of nominations for deletion.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:29, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment, in full knowledge that my opinion may be given less weight as an anonymous editor. Quite frankly, I'm baffled by the conclusion expressed by the OP and the two editors who have insofar commented, in the sense that no coverage in the media outlets, nor any significative sources other than IMDB exist on this actor. Took me 3 minutes of cursory search to find at least three interviews in different news media; not to mention that this actor in particular is not simply listed at IMDB, but also has entries at every single movie database there is, including Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, TV Guide, etc. I also found out that he received a nomination for a NAACP Prize in 2001. Clearly the article needs improvement, but as always - deleting is far easier than working on actually researching and improving!
- While I'm not particularly interested in this debate and I honestly don't care whether or not this article is kept, I can't help but to shrug when I see how little care some people put into their research before pompously exposing their conclusions - aiming for deletion, of course. What a surprise. 46.25.71.70 (talk) 13:08, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- In most places anonymous editors are assumed to be doing so in good faith. If you had pointed us to reliable, independent, significant coverage, I would gladly vote keep. As is, you made assertions without any supporting evidence. Rockphed (talk) 15:49, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Interviews, in which the subject is speaking about himself in the first person, are not support for notability. They can be used for supplementary referencing of stray facts after notability has already been demonstrated by stronger sources — for example, if a notable public figure comes out as LGBT in an interview, then we can use the interview as a source for the fact that they're LGBT — but in order to demonstrate that Wren Brown is notable enough to have an article at all, there have to be a non-trivial number of sources that represent other people writing or talking about Wren Brown in the third person. Once that's cleared off, then you can use the Q&A interviews to source some additional facts — but the Q&A interviews don't count as data points toward the initial question of whether he's cleared our notability standards in the first place.

- Notability is not about whether something is minor. We have plenty of articles on minor things. Notability is about how well documented knowledge of a thing is, and this road as far as I can tell simply isn't well documented. I can find information about a bridge, discussed in the context of the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, and a related person, a local politician from the mid 20th century, but pretty much nothing about this road. Uncle G (talk) 18:22, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Uncle G: let me get this straight, your argument is that my argument is weak because it didn't agree with a section in an essay that you wrote (as evidenced by this edit). Just because you wrote an essay on notability and you appear to be an expert in this subject, it doesn't mean you're right? Maybe a link to something someone else wrote about notability would help? The second part of that answer is fine, I can agree with you, but the first two sentences are fundamentally flawed. Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 19:57, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - regardless of whether it's his own essay or not, he's right - notability in Wikipedia is determined on coverage and reliable sources, not on whether it is "minor".

- Keep In my view, the 5 references presently at the above article are reliable business websites – (Forbes business website), Dawn (newspaper), Business Recorder (2 references from the largest business newspaper in Pakistan), The News International (newspaper). I honestly don't understand how any one of them can be called a 'directory listing'? I also went ahead and updated all 5 references. This company is a notable company because one of its Wikipedia categories is …Category:Conglomerate companies of Pakistan. Ngrewal1 (talk) 01:45, 4 September 2019 (UTC) anyway.
- Comment Have you read the guidelines? Nowhere does it say that if references appear in "reliable business websites" then the topic must be notable. HighKing++ 14:32, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment By the way, Prosperity Weaving Mills Limited (a part of Nagina Group) is listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. So a notable company due to this fact also. I also added 3 more newspaper references today. Ngrewal1 (talk) 20:15, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- If there are analyst reports for Prosperity Weaving Mills, then that compeny would surely pass the notability criteria. But notability isn't inherited. Where are the analyst reports and references for this company that meet the criteria for establishing notability (see WP:ORGIND especially). HighKing++ 14:33, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. Things get a bit tough with cases like this, where we are not dealing with some obvious promo/spam attempt for a start up. It's a mid size company with ~50 years of history. But pretty please, we need sources that are not press releases, and that's all there is in the article. Google Books gives me a snippet " Nagina Group, one of the oldest textile groups in the country, consisting of Nagina Cotton Mills Ltd. Ellcot Spinning Mills Ltd and Prosperity Weaving Mills Limited" [7]. And that's all I am seeing in Books/Scholar. We have to face the fact that WP:ITSIMPORTANT is subjective and not a valid. In its half a century of a history, this company doesn't seem to have attracted any serious attention from anyone willing to write about that outside or passing mentions/press releases of 'business as usual'. Therefore, this is WP:YELLOWPAGES type of a fail. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:17, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Excellent analysis by Piotrus above, summarised as "if, after 50 years, there aren't any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability, then it isn't notable". Nonsense arguments which are not based on our guidelines put forward by Keep !voters above. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 14:32, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment When Pakistan Stock Exchange website shows it's traded on their exchange, there is no doubt it's traded there!!! Other financial, national and international business websites, may not be updated yet.
- Again, when Forbes magazine lists this company as among the best-performing-companies with less than US $1 billion in revenue in 2003, we can safely assume this company already went through their evaluation process. Forbes website reference is at the above article.
- Then there are ASIANET Pakistan and 7 other independent newspaper and business website references at the article. Ngrewal1 (talk) 22:48, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Response Please read WP:NCORP. All of your sources fails this guideline and most of the arguments put forward against your references are grounded in those guidelines, especially WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND and the definition of "Independent Content". 1) This company is not listed on any stock exchange. A subsidiary appears to be but not this company. Also see WP:LISTED as being listed is not a guarantee of notability. 2) Being included on a list is specifically listed as "trivial coverage" and fails WP:CORPDEPTH 3) Not a single one of those references meet the criteria for establishing notability. Most are based on company announcements and mentions-in-passing. None contain "Independent Content" (as defined by WP:ORGIND). HighKing++ 17:14, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Let's be reasonable with each other here, please. I took your own above provided link subsidiary and used it to find out that both subsidiaries – Prosperity Weaving Mills Limited and Nagina Cotton Mills Limited of Nagina Group are shown being traded on Pakistan Stock Exchange on MarketScreener International website. Then just to improve the article further, I have even included your two references at the article. We all know that Nagina Group's subsidiaries are part and parcel of the parent company and I am sure the reputable Forbes magazine considered all those factors before giving its rating 'as among the best-performing-companies with less than $1 billion in revenue in 2003'. Anyway, let's not continue arguing over it and let the closing administrator decide what they want to do with this article based on facts and contents of this article. Ngrewal1 (talk) 01:39, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment It sounds like the only point of disagreement at this stage (hopefully my summary is not misrepresentative) is that you say that if the subsidiaries (they are listed, probably because there must be analyst reports although I haven't checked) are notable (generating revenues for the parent) then the parent is also notable. My position is that (as per guidelines) notability isn't inherited and the parent must be notable in its own right. You say notability is established through the Forbes article (implying the Forbes article meets the criteria for establishing notability). I say the Forbes article is "trivial coverage" (specifically, inclusion on a list - fails WP:CORPDEPTH) and furthermore contains zero information on the company (fails CORPDEPTH). Sure - let the closing admin make a decision. HighKing++ 11:56, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Keep - Lynching victims are often an uncomfortalbe topic for people. So I feel it is important to expand upon lynching that have newscoverage. As shown by the sources in the article, this African-American lynching victim received media coverage when the event happened. Article is a start article and will be expanded upon as more details are found -- Thats Just Great (talk) 14:40, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
Delete per nom. Rename to Lynching of Jim McMillan -It really does seem to be a case of WP:BIO1E. Three of the sources are just very brief news blurbs written in the immediate aftermath of the murderers' arrests, one is just the victims' name in a list, and the last is not about the victim at all, and is about the Red Summer in general. Although certainly tragic, there is not much demonstrating notability for the individual outside of the reports of his lynching. Alternatively, I could support a Merge to Red Summer, if it can be done without going against WP:UNDUE. Rorshacma (talk) 15:25, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Due to his continued work in this field, as well as his ongoing legal efforts with multiple state agencies in Lithuania, he is especially notable in the field of Holocaust Revisionism. Additionally, his status as a prominent member in the field of international affairs within Los Angeles must be recognized, thus doubly confirming his notability. --Stephenson b (talk) 01:01, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

- Renata: To establish notability: [1] This Times of Israel article focuses on Gochin's ongoing lawsuit and places it relative to Holocaust Revisionism in Lithuania. [2] The latter half of this Politico article explores in-depth Gochin's case and the relationship between his research and the work of Silvia Foti, also notable in the field of Lithuanian Holocaust Revisionism. [3] This Haaretz article (published by one of the most widely recognized and trusted Israeli-based news sources) specifically explores Gochin and his case against the Lithuanian government. [4] This is an official statement from the Genocide and Resistance Research Center of Lithuania that explicitly responds to Gochin's lawsuit and dismisses his efforts as part of their ongoing court case. This is just a handful of the third party sources that I was able to find that explicitly mention Grant Gochin in detail and focus on his work. He did not personally author nor publish these works, but he is mentioned in-depth and focused on in these articles. Based on these high-profile mentions in the field of Holocaust Revisionism alone, I believe his notability is established. Stephenson b (talk) 02:43, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
- Stephenson b: None of these cited sources are about Gochin. They are about the lawsuit and the controversy, and Gochin is just interviewed about it (and not say about his life, work, or hobbies). These sources would make a case for the article on the controversy, not for the article on Gochin. See also WP:BIO1E. Renata (talk) 19:06, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion in 2010 was rejected because this was one of London's 5-star hotels. It's now under new management with a new name, and may no longer have 5-star status.

- Comment No opinion on whether this particular article should be kept as I don't know or care whether it's notable in Wikipedia terms, but don't let "star rating" have any impact on your thinking here. As I explained repeatedly a decade ago when I was trying (and failing) to clear up the hotel spam,
may no longer have 5-star status
has no relevance for UK hotels. There is no formal UK hotel rating scheme, and any establishment can describe itself with whatever number of stars it likes. Indeed, it's not unusual for the same establishment to use a different star rating to describe itself in marketing materials aimed at different audiences, depending on whether they want to appear luxurious or good value. ‑ Iridescent 15:55, 10 September 2019 (UTC) - I echo Iridescent. Wikipedia is not a travel guide, and if you are choosing subjects according to star ratings you are approaching encyclopaedia article writing entirely wrongly.
The right approach is to see how well documented something is and how in-depth that documentation is. For this hotel, under either name, I could not find anything beyond directory listings, complete with prices, and advertisements. The sources cited discuss this subject only tangentially, as one out of several examples of a different subject. Sometimes with this sort of article there is an earlier name and it is the address that is notable for having a documented history of buildings, but Midland House (from the 1960s and existing mainly in yet more business directory listings) is not particularly well documented in the history books either. The old London Wall is, or was in the time of Midland House at least when some archaeology was done, still preserved at that address, but this would be a bizarre way to present that subject, even as a redirect.
Delete Agreed with both the above. Grange City has a number of hits in Google books. Picking up something on it being a place for parties, I think it's Lloyds. But doesn't seem to be anything substantial. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:37, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. WP:NPOL does not extend an automatic notability freebie just because a role happens to have been elected rather than hired; the difference between a role that passes NPOL and a role that fails it hinges on the importance of the work the person does in the role, and court clerk is not an "inherently" notable role at all. But the only evidence of reliable source media coverage being shown here at all is a single obituary in his hometown newspaper, which is not in and of itself enough coverage to get him over WP:GNG in lieu of having to hold an NPOL-passing role.

Article uses sources from a singular spoiler site, Inside Survivor. The other site sourced, Reality Blurred, also uses information from Inside Survivor.

Keep. A similar article (Wikipedia: Articles for deletion/Survivor: Edge of Extinction) was deleted since not many people were talking about it and it was still unconfirmed. From a simple google search of "Survivor season 40", many sources claim the fortieth season of Survivor is Winners at War (or at least an all-winners season). Some sources are related to Survivor and some are not, but the "main source" has proven to be reliable over the years. I must stress that the main source is not original research because it gets its information from Survivor itself or workers in Survivor, proving itself to be reliable.Jayab314 10:15, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Literally that same source was used for the early creation of Edge of Extinction, and was considered in violation of WP:RS. Inside Survivor also calls its articles rumors. In what way is a rumor a reliable source? Also, if there are more sources, then why weren't they used in conjunction with Inside Survivor? Telling someone to Google "Survivor Season 40" is not useful. Sinjoh2015 (talk) 10:35, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. As per my argument that ApprenticeFan copied above. In addition when Edge of Extinction was created (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Survivor: Edge of Extinction), it also faced a similar issue as all it used was a single source from Inside Survivor. The other "sources" used all linked back to Inside Survivor, and Inside Survivor was considered to not be WP:RS. Sinjoh2015 (talk) 10:35, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete: It has always been past precedent to make a new article on an upcoming Survivor season, once CBS has officially released information about it. No matter how accurate Inside Survivor has been in the past, there are not an official source of information.

Complete mixture of mythology with history. Like, for the 20th tirthankara, this page lists that Rama, Dashratha and other prominent figures of Hinduism as followers of Jainism. That is without any source. This is perfect example of WP:Misleading text.

- Comment Dharmadhyaksha Article is still not resolved. I just cited one example to show how it is misleading. Here is an another example. Siddhartha of Kundagrama has been shown as Jain monarch while it is ambiguous that he followed Jainism; however, his son was tirthankara in Jain Tradition. Another goes for Ajayapala (Chaulukya dynasty), wikipedia page mentions his religion as Brahminism and it is also written that he didn't patronage Jainism then why he has place here in the list?
- There are some other mistakes too. Like, obfuscating history with mythology. Mythological King Sagara also find place in same category as of other historical personality.

- Comment: @Harshil169: I understand your concern that the list is being a mix of actual historically proven people with that of mythological people.

- Keep -- There have been Jain kings and no doubt dynasties in India. If so, there is no reason for not having a list such as this. Issues about what its content should be can be resolved by editing. It will probably be better if history and myth are placed in separate sections of the article, but one never quite knows how much history may be incorporated in what is referred to as myth, because we cannot date it or the story includes the direct intervention of gods in human affairs.

- Delete. Being an unsuccessful candidate for political office is not an inclusion-clinching notability claim, but this doesn't even really try to make a claim that he had preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him into Wikipedia independently of the candidacy — the only reference being cited here at all is a glancing namecheck of his existence as a giver of soundbite in an article about somebody else, not coverage about him for the purposes of establishing his notability. I'd also note that the original prod was removed on the grounds that the prod rationale was expressed in a nonsensical and invalid way, not because there was any actual debate about his lack of notability — but since we're here, we're here. Also, both of the images in the article are screenshotted from a website but falsely claimed as Creative Commons-licensed original work created by the uploader, and accordingly have also had to be nominated for deletion at FFD.

Compare with an older mass nomination on empty/placeholder entries for the same awards (and more related AfDs: nonexistent years, empty, another empty). These articles were all automatically generated and promptly abandoned.
An alternative, if some believe that having some list may be useful, is to create a list of awardees across all years, with inclusion limited to those that already have existing articles. However, these year-by-year lists should be deleted regardless. — MarkH21 (talk) 03:03, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

- Keep
- They have never been "abandoned", only attacked, notably by User:Fram. Not all of these articles were created by me, a few other people have been prepared to contribute.
- A huge amount of work went into creating these articles, the information was not available in decent machine readable form and needed substantial work.
- Even if they had been automatically created, then "promptly abandoned" - which seems to suggest that both these things are bad - they are not - and by extension poison the well against the creator, that would be irrelevant. 30,000 stubs were automatically created by User:rambot and "promptly abandoned" and are now full fledged articles. (I know, I have worked on almost all of them).
- Most of the awardees are notable if anyone can be arsed to actually do the work to research them - even those that are not can simply be unlinked. We do not limit these types lists to entities that are wiki-notable. Our coverage of commercial entities that are not prominent is very poor.
- We do normally have year-by-year lists for awards where there are a significant number of awardees - this example is for one category, of one award that had two awardees. Making one big list of all awardees over 50+ years would be ludicrous, numbering possibly thousands of entries.
- There is no doubt that these are notable awards, covered annually in the press and in early decades, national television news.
- I would not be totally adverse to mergeing earlier years sections into one article per year, if the total number of recipients is small.
- When I created these articles there was one Queen's Award for Enterprise article with a list of random winners in random categories from random years, and in some cases the wrong entity was credited the award. Returning to the "one list to rule them all" would invite this type of chaos back.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 11:44, 10 September 2019 (UTC).
- Moreover many of the awardees do have article on Wikipedia, even though they are redlinks,some are even household names. I just turned the following links blue with a few moments work.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 12:51, 10 September 2019 (UTC).
- @Rich Farmbrough: The current state is more chaotic than one list with the notable winners from each year. Perhaps it was not systematic and inclusive before, but a List of Winners of the Queen's Award for Enterprise with sections for each category and subsections for each year would serve better than the existing model of dozens of articles incompletely covering dozens years. — MarkH21 (talk) 15:39, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Merge the ones that need merging/Not a topic for a single AFD - The awards themselves are definitely notable. Obviously some years not all winners are notable and not all categories are populated - but this seems to be a question best handled on a case-by-case basis. FOARP (talk) 15:06, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- @FOARP: I don't think that there should be a list for each category for each year. Each list only has a few notable winners at most, and this is true for all of the ones nominated. — MarkH21 (talk) 15:39, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- We have not established that only notable winners should be listed.
- We have not established that "only a few" on each list are notable.
- On the article The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation (Technology) (2007) there are forty winners listed. Thirteen are already blue links, which seems more than "a few" to me. Of the other I have looked at, Air Products PLC, Packaged Gases Group, is almost certainly a part of Air Products and Chemicals, and has a turnover of some $7 bn. James Halstead is a member of the AIM 50, and so almost certainly notable. Enterprise Control Systems is a leader in UAVs, and almost certainly notable. Autoflame is a relatively small engineering firm, but was a pioneer in electronic boiler control, may well be notable. Solagen is a solar sign company, which may struggle to meet notability criteria, although I may just need to search more thoroughly.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:52, 10 September 2019 (UTC).
- Whereas most have very few entries like this. Most of the lists in "Sustainable Development (Environmental Achievement)" can never have more than a few entries based on this table. WP:LISTN applies and Wikipedia is not a directory of any business that has won this award that is given to 200+ per year. On the topic of LISTN: "Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group." Are the individual category years really notable? Is "The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation (Technology) (2010)" really individually notable in the spirit of WP:GNG or something similar? It seems that each category-year is not. — MarkH21 (talk) 21:11, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
1983 is a difficult year, because the government have lost the documents. But it's still going to be reliably sourced, and verifiably so in the London Gazette, and newspapers of the time.{This was a different year, someone had well-intentionally broken the ref in this case, I have populated this page now.)- Yes, thanks, I am familiar with the table, I created it.
- It is interesting that you oppose these pages both on the small number of entries on them, and on the large number of entries on them.
- Year-categories is a sensible way to build this coverage, because, pace deleters, in enables us to have year pages and category pages, without creating forked content.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 19:23, 11 September 2019 (UTC).
- Nowhere have I opposed it on a large number of entries. It's the small number of notable entries. The 200+ per year is to contrast just how few are notable. And sure, you could find a reliable source listing entries for 1983 or any year, but is that year's award notable on its own? Are there multiple reliable sources with significant coverage on it? In the 1983 case, one article that prints the list in the London Gazette with no significant accompanying words doesn't seem to count. — MarkH21 (talk) 19:38, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- We use the London Gazette (along with the Cardif, Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, and some 80+ other official Gazettes) as a reliable source for a huge number of things, in nearly 25,000 articles. I don't think there is any doubt as to its general reliability.
- The awards are covered generally in the Financial Times, other quality papers' business pages, local newspapers and the trade press. Broadcast coverage was significant in the early years, and there is still some regional coverage.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:14, 11 September 2019 (UTC).
- I am not disputing its reliability at all. Just whether there is evidence of WP:SIGCOV (on each year-category, not just the award as a whole). (Plus, whether we should have lists dedicated to 7 or so entries) — MarkH21 (talk) 20:18, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

- Keep all List of who won a notable award year by year are fine. Some of these articles are far longer than others, so I don't think you can just merge them all together, not any reason to do so. A navigational box would be a useful thing for these. Dream Focus 10:08, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Give me a break, I just created The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development (Environmental Achievement) from its yearly stubs. I won't redirect the individual pages while they're tagged but it's absurd to keep them separate. Even for the other two categories with more items, a list with a couple hundred bullet-pointed items is not too large to cover together, or they can go by decade: The Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade (Export) (2013) has a nice big 113 items but is less than 4,000 bytes and doesn't take up much space with its four columns. The related context, lack of prose, and lack of reason to split other than your perceived WP:LENGTH issue is reason to merge. Reywas92Talk 19:33, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

The article should explain why this crime has encyclopedic value. Some crimes have encyclopedic value because of who the victim is, who the accused is or because whatever happened as a result. Not every crime that happens and is mentioned on the news has encyclopedic value in my opinion. Poveglia (talk) 03:00, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
Withdrawn by nominator - I think we should not include everything that meets GNG but be more selective and that a tragic event that is mentioned in many sources but doesn't have much on a long term impact on those who are lucky enough to not be directly affected by it and is unfortunately not unique or rare should not be included. Other people prefer to include everything that meets GNG. OK. Poveglia (talk) 22:39, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Crime_victims_and_perpetrators says: "The victim or person wrongly convicted, consistent with Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Subjects notable only for one event, had a large role within a well-documented historic event. The historic significance is indicated by persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources that devote significant attention to the individual's role." and that just isn't the case here. This is not an event of historic or encyclopedic significance and there is no persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources. Poveglia (talk) 04:51, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_newspaper says: "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia.". This event sure was newsworthy at the time but there is no enduring notability; its just routine news reporting. Poveglia (talk) 05:06, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

- @Joseph A. Spadaro: The article does not mention that national and international coverage. It contains just two sources. Any missing white woman will result in some press coverage, but there is no indication that this crime is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia unlike thousands of similar crimes. Stuff like this happens every day. Poveglia (talk) 03:10, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

- This is an encyclopedia, not an indiscriminate collection of text, so the fact that an article is under construction (like every single article on Wikipedia, none of them are finished) does not mean we should store information about non-notable events. I don't have to judge notability based on the article, I can simply type her name into Google to see limited local coverage for a short period of time. Poveglia (talk) 03:21, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

- If some Greek press reported on it because of the fact that one of the people involved is Greek that doesn't automatically make this worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. The husband is a Greek American. But I don't see what makes this crime special; why is so different about it from 8746358734685 other crimes committed in the past decade that this one should be included in an encyclopedia while the others are not.

Comment - as a disinterested observer, the dingdong above seems a bit unnecessary, this appears to be a developing news story and thus there are now more notable sources eg CNN and CBS NY which perhaps have not yet been taken into account. If there is an 'underconstruction' tag surely it would be good faith to assume these sources will be added, at the same time the article was created 3 days ago and only has two references at the moment so it definitely needs some work to justify the tag. If more sources are added, I would be inclined toward keep. Mujinga (talk) 12:26, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- There are a million sources. National and international. Including the cover of People Magazine, and also Rolling Stone. And -- I just found out -- a full-hour episode of the TV show Dateline (airing just last night). These would eventually be added into the article. I only started the article a day or two ago; I immediately slapped an "under construction" tag. And, of course, five minutes after the brand new article is started, some one with a "trigger finger" puts it up for deletion. A quick Google search will show dozens of sources, many local, many national. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:19, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- If sources that indicate a lasting notability and encyclopedic relevance are added I will also vote keep of course. Poveglia (talk) 13:08, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - A quick Google search shows that this story has been covered repeatedly by CNN, CBS New York, New York Post, Fox News, International Business Times, The Advocate, Yahoo! News, and the list goes on. Although the article may not be fleshed out, this appears to easily cross the bar of notability. May His Shadow Fall Upon You Talk 13:48, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - In addition to my Keep vote above, I wanted to comment on some of the policies invoked in this discussion because I've found them to be commonly misunderstood. WP:CRIME does not require that the victim have a "large role in a historical event." WP:CRIME is concerned with whether the victim should have their own article, independent of the crime itself. Such a policy would be very relevant if the AfD was for Jennifer Dulos; but it's not. WP:CRIME is a more specific restatement of WP:BLP1E, which is another widely misunderstood policy. This does not address whether the crime should have an article; that's handled by WP:NCRIME. NCRIME states, in it's entirety,
Articles about criminal acts, particularly those that fall within the category of "breaking news", are frequently the subject of deletion discussions. As with other events, media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act, provided such coverage meets the above guidelines and those regarding reliable sources. The disappearance of a person would fall under this guideline if law enforcement agencies deemed it likely to have been caused by criminal conduct, regardless of whether a perpetrator is identified or charged. If a matter is deemed notable, and to be a likely crime, the article should remain even if it is subsequently found that no crime occurred (e.g., the Runaway bride case) since that would not make the matter less notable.
I think this clearly meets NCRIME criteria as evidenced by abundant national-level coverage. May His Shadow Fall Upon You Talk 13:57, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Many sources covering this including New York Times[13]. Bus stop (talk) 15:22, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- I believe the goal here is to write an encyclopedia, not a somewhat random collection of old news. If people disagree that's fine. If they agree then I would like them to explain what makes this crime worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. This isn't D. B. Cooper. Poveglia (talk) 17:17, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: This is not "old news". This happened in May 2019. And it is still continuing and ongoing news. And its coverage has also been continuous and ongoing. If anything, the coverage has increased and expanded, as the story continues to grow and develop. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:25, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: I just found out: The TV show Dateline did a one-hour special episode about this case, also. The show aired just last night! Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:31, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Poveglia—you are mentioning the D. B. Cooper article. I think the comparison is the riddle wrapped up in an enigma aspect of both articles. We also have the Death of Elisa Lam article. I would guess we have other articles too that involve a severely unanswered question with the powerful implication of criminality. One important consideration involves the level of support in sources, but the Disappearance of Jennifer Dulos certainly attains some level of support in sources, so I am reluctant to reject the article's existence. Bus stop (talk) 18:03, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Bus stop: I thought it was kinda obvious who were responsible after reading the article. So to me it doesn't seem like much of a mystery. The D.B. Cooper case is a mystery that has been talked about for decades. I didn't know Elisa Lam's name, but I did remember her story after so many years. I checked Google News, sorted by recency, and there are recent articles that mention Elisa Lam and D.B. Cooper [14] [15] It seems very unlikely that the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos will generate the same level of persistent coverage over the years (or decades in Cooper's case). Especially when the husband (and perhaps his girlfriend) get convicted, which is what I would assume the next chapter of this drama will be. I don't think its a much of a whodunnit when there are 2 people arrested on charges of tampering with evidence and hindering prosecution. Poveglia (talk) 18:15, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Let me correct myself. There are mysteries involved in these cases. Some presumptions are strongly suspected. You make a valid point that it seems likely the husband will be convicted, although that remains an unknown at this time. But wouldn't there still be large mysteries such as why he would kill the mother of his 5 children? Or am I being too pollyannish? Reliable sources are closely following the case probably due to the enormity of the crime that is alleged to have transpired. We also have Watts family homicides. Bus stop (talk) 18:35, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- I remember that story too, and when I looked on Google News (sorted by recency) I noticed someone wrote an article about them yesterday. That is 393 days after the event. It seems unlikely that this disappearance will receive the same persistent coverage. If and when the husband is convicted it will be case closed so to speak. I do think we should have an article on Mike the Headless Chicken because there is persistent coverage over a long period of time in multiple sources. For the future generations our article about Mike will have more value than an article about some random murder (let's be honest, its extremely unlikely that she is going to be found alive and well) that happened a long long time ago.

- Comment – I think the need for secondary sources (WP:NOR:
Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources...
) applies just as much to team articles as to bios. Unless I missed something, all I'm seeing are contemporaneous game reports, reports of an award, reports of a default... these all seem like primary sources. The "source trifecta" is reliable, independent, secondary. WP:NTEAM points to WP:GNG, and GNG says at least two sources that meet the trifecta. Here, I'm not seeing even one. – Levivich 15:35, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- They're not primary - they're periodicals which have covered the team. SportingFlyer T·C 17:32, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- I'm of the view that newspaper reporting on current events (i.e., such-and-such team won by so many points and so-and-so scored a goal) = primary source – Levivich 19:49, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- That is one of the most ridiculous arguments I have ever heard in a deletion discussion. All newspapers cover current events. By that logic, none of them can be used to meet GNG. That's absurd. Smartyllama (talk) 15:18, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Is this the first time you're seeing this argument made? May I introduce to you WP:PRIMARYNEWS, part of the explanatory supplement WP:Identifying and using primary sources.

- Comment. Hey, good news here! There is an exception to Wikipedia's requirements for notability of topics which means this article can easily be Kept, with only small modification to clarify that it is a set index article covering multiple items, i.e. the 7 usages of the name that the article does cover. The reason this can be saved is the argument/fact that any verifiable set of same-named things is allowed to be covered in a set index article, for which standards of notability do not apply! There is no requirement for wp:GNG or any other standard to be met, beyond verification that there are multiple things named "Blurr". It should probably be renamed, however, to "List of fictional characters named Blurr" or similar, and Category:Set indices should be added, so that it is clear to all that the big exception applies.
- In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of lakes named McArthur (still ongoing, but honestly it seems very likely the decision will be to "Keep" or not delete the article, thereby endorsing the strategy), it is being clarified that this maneuver is okay. This is great. By its reasoning, this article can be saved! --Doncram (talk) 05:39, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

- The historical settlement that was at this point, the confluence of South Fork Eel River and Eel River, until 1915 was Dyerville. This name was originally the name of a post office. Actually of two post offices, one short lived in 1861, and a second one in 1933, some 18 years after Dyerville was destroyed. See ISBN 9780520266193 p. 371. The second one was the post office of a short-lived town named — yes — South Fork, that sprang up because of the railroad and logging. See ISBN 9781467130622 p. 37 and ISBN 9780738595139 p. 48 et al.. History books, people! Uncle G (talk) 10:16, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
- I find mention of South Fork, Humboldt County prior to 1915 e.g. in the Santa Cruz Weekly Sentinel January 8, 1876 "Colonel H. Allen. who recently died at South Fork, Humboldt county, weighed 350 pounds". References to it continue through to the 1950s (excluding of course mention of South Fork High School in nearby Miranda, California). Are we sure the South Fork settlement and Dyerville weren't in different locations e.g on different sides of the river? --Pontificalibus 11:55, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
- I haven't found documentation of more than a South Fork post office in the 19th century, and although a settlement is possible the post office only lasted a year according to the aforecited source. The only actual South Fork settlement in the books that I have looked at so far is the 20th century one. South Fork and Dyerville are two distinct things, but seemingly more separated in time rather than space. See ISBN 9780738595139 p. 87 for a 1930s photograph of a CCC camp where Dyerville once was with the railroad in the background. Uncle G (talk) 12:33, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
- Ok, this claims the name "South Fork" was later adopted for the railroad station at the south end of the railroad bridge. If the settlement around the railroad station is what is referred to when sources say "South Fork, Humboldt County", this puts that settlement on the opposite side of the Eel River to Dyerville which was on the north bank. Here it is on a map fragment (website currently timing out).----Pontificalibus
- You are assuming something not in the sources, the physical extents of these things. They were both at the confluence. We don't know more than that. And as I said before: history books, not maps! The history books will tell you that Founders Grove, inagurated 1937-11-15 some 22 years after Dyerville was destroyed, is on the Dyerville Flats. You are looking at a map from entirely the wrong time period to determine where Dyerville was. Uncle G (talk) 13:09, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
- Regardless of the extent of Dyerville, the map shows South Fork railroad station well south of the south bank, and the source above shows, on the north bank, an "aerial view of Dyerville in 1935, which by that time was mostly a CCC Camp". Post-1935 sources referring to "South Fork, Humboldt County" are thus unlikely, at that time, to be referring to a settlement synonymous with Dyerville. This would indicate a separate article referring to the settlement and also railroad station may be warranted.----Pontificalibus 13:51, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Redirect to Hyperspace, Delete and Move Disambiguation Page Here - as both articles are on essentially the same subject, and this article itself uses the term "hyperspace" interchangeably with "hyperdrive".

Sadly, hyperspace article is little better than this, and it may end up getting the 'axe or not' review soon. PS. Hyperspace is probably notable, it has hits in The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy (unlike hyperdrive). It also has numerous hits in Science Fact and Science Fiction: An Encyclopedia and is in its index, while hyperdrive just gets a single hit in this volume, a mention in passing. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:34, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Per WP:LISTN, the term "Nigerian DJ" may not have enough of a definition as a group of people that has been discussed as a group in reliable sources. Note the article's present reliance on circular references. The list also does not nail down a definition of DJ and includes a hodgepodge of radio personalities, party spinners, and rapper backers. So far the list only includes people with WP articles, but it could get indiscriminate because Nigeria is a big place with lots of music. This topic could possibly be replaced with a new category. (Also, the following is not relevant for this particular list's notability, but note that some of the people in this list have had their personal notability questioned as well.) ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:02, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

- Keep or merge to a list of broader scope; standard list of people by nationality and profession. We have a well-populated Category:DJs category structure (which includes Category:DJs by nationality...which in turn includes Category:Nigerian DJs), which undercuts the notion that editors can't figure out what such a title means. The nomination is rather incoherent and offers no true argument for deletion, apparently thinking "Nigerian DJ" is some term of art or subgenre, when it's simply simply a disc jockey who is Nigerian. The nominator also undermines their claim that this list somehow does not have a workable definition, by suggesting that a category based on that same definition would be fine. postdlf (talk) 21:53, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- Call my nomination incoherent if you wish, but you have argued about the validity of the Category which is not part of the nomination, and glossed over what is supposed to be different about a Category and a List. The List article nominated here is just a pile of blue links for less than ten people, and so is the Category. Why have both? Per WP:LISTN the thing being listed in a List article does indeed need to have a definition, with the policy stating "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" (italics in original). Therefore that definition is required in a List article, but not in a Category. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:00, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
- No, just about everything you just said is incorrect, and you haven’t understood my comments. Both categories and lists require inclusion criteria, and where they cover the same subject with the same terminology are expected to use the same definitions. Neither “DJ” nor “Nigerian” has any usage here that is unique to this list. And see WP:NOTDUP. Re: LISTN, as its numerous qualifiers intend to communicate, it is sufficient but not necessary, and it’s indeed of little relevance here with such a standard list. On the number of entries, I addressed that as well with the merge alternative. postdlf (talk) 23:20, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
- I must request that you avoid condescending terms like "incorrect" and "incoherent" for someone who merely interprets policies differently than you. My interpretation is that "Nigerian DJ" is weakly defined. We have both made our case so perhaps future voters will be persuaded by either of us or neither. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:21, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

- Comment - it's a bus route - WP:GNG says that even significant coverage in reliable sources does not guarantee that a subject merits its own article because Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information - it's a bus route of local interest only - WP:AUD says "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability" - Epinoia (talk) 16:05, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

The result was delete. The keep votes deal solely with nfooty, which is a presumption of GNG. This has been challenged and whilst a number of sources have been added, delete arguments clearly show them to be routine reporting either not of significant length or only mentioning the subject briefly. Happy to undelete if substantial third party coverage can be found but the efforts here suggest that is not the case. Either way, it is always very unlikely that a player who has made such a small impact at a fully professional level and has never played internationally is going to satisfy GNG.

- Keep. As a former professional footballer (both Eredivisie -first tier- and Eerste Divisie), subject clearly passes WP:NFOOTY/WP:NFOOTBALL #2, the WP:GNG, and has an article also at nl.wiki. If someone fails to find additional sources, and this happens all too often, strangely even with well-referenced articles, an AfD is not the answer. Rather, in such cases a refimprove request should do. This is a classic case of an unncessary nomination. gidonb (talk) 10:52, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - Article about non-notable, semi-pro footballer who was once contracted to a club in a fully-pro league, but only made a single appearance in a domestic cup for them. Online coverage is routine, with lots of transfer announcements (e.g., Algemeen Dagblad), and there are only match reports and squad lists covering his time with RKC. Comprehensive GNG failure and the narrowest possible passing of NFOOTBALL's bright-line equals a failure of the spirit of NFOOTBALL. Jogurney (talk) 14:32, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- This is a routine claim people make at NFOOTBALL discussions. But does it hold water? Per WP:NEXIST I have looked at the sources and reached the conclusion that coverage stands out for being diverse, not routine, and includes besides actually very few transfers, an exceptional amount of injuries, victimhood in a violent attack by supporters, a leadership role, and goal contributions while the player is a defender. gidonb (talk) 22:39, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

- Much of it has been added to the article. Player moved relative few teams. Much of the coverage was on his health conditions (at depth) and victimhood of violence. Extremely nonroutine. Your response, however, was very routine for WP:NFOOTBALL discussion. It made me wonder if you actually looked at sources of this player or perhaps another or a previous one?! Maybe take another look. Plenty of sources in the article now. It couldn't be easier! gidonb (talk) 12:44, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- While I appreciate your efforts to expand and improve the article, none of the references included in the article represent SIGCOV (even the Algemeen Dagblad article I mentioned above). Everything is routine coverage for a footballer (a sentence or two for the most part) - footballer played in a match, footballer received a yellow card, footballer is injured, footballer signs with new club, footballer is released by club. The attack is unique, but I don't think the coverage is from a non-primary, reliable source, and by itself I can't see that getting this article over the GNG bar.

- Delete (Round 39? Is everybody ready yet to have some kind of RfC on this so we aren't putting closers in a difficult position with every one of these "borderline NFOOTY/no GNG" nominations?) – Per Soccerway, this player has one NFOOTY-qualifying game in the second-tier Eerste Divisie (never played in the first-tier league), and it was nine years ago. Since then, he has been playing only in third-tier Topklasse, and for the past three years, in semi-professional Tweede Divisie. There is no indication that this player will have any NFOOTY-qualifying games anytime soon. Also, no WP:SIGCOV; the only thing I'm finding are a few brief mentions and routine game reports, etc., like [25] [26] [27]. The Dutch Wikipedia article is three sentences; shorter than ours. I appreciate Gidonb's recent expansion and rescue attempt, but I'm not seeing GNG-satisfying sources. AD and Gorinchem is routine with a couple quotes from the player. The AD injury report is, well, an injury report, not in-depth coverage of the player, but routine coverage of the injury. Het Kontakt is a primary source report about an incident in which the player was attacked, not in-depth coverage of the player himself. Without seeing WP:THREE GNG sources, for a semi-professional footballer with one appearance 9 years ago, my !vote is delete. – Levivich 02:14, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
