While it's not a G4, sourcing does not appear to have improved markedly since the prior AFD and the same concerns remain about the sourcing quality. Creator moved it back, so draft space does not appear to be a viable option. No indication it's yet notable and will not be released until September. Note, this is also a copy/paste move so if kept, may need history merge. Star Mississippi 11:48, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable It has all the online information on different cinema websites regarding the film shows and also imdb confirms the date on their page. besides numbers of other wikipedia articles of upcoming film why this page has to wait till its release. it should highly keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmpwork (talk • contribs) 05:27, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
None of that indicates how it meets NFF, unfortunately. Many other articles exist that shouldn't, that doesn't mean we add more. You were advised how to work on it before the release date, but opted not to follow those suggestions Star Mississippi 12:02, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously it shows that it meets NFF when its release date and news sources are authentic and powerful which showcase the notability how can you just give your personal opinion into that. and i do follow suggestions whenever there is a positive suggestion. Rmpwork (talk) 15:26, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines.

Please familiarize yourself with the guidelines, including around AfD participation especially signing your comments. Star Mississippi 22:55, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are majority of movies like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani Dhai Chaal Jawan (film) Neeyat (2023 film) Neelofar when these upcoming movie’s articles are there in wikipedia then Sanak (2023 film) should also stay on wikipedia and we will keep on making it better and better because our goal is to make our Pakistani film industry established and grow. Rmpwork (talk) 01:05, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Main Space After going through a detailed research on wikipedia, i have come across that there are plenty of articles on upcoming films which is just like Sanak 2023. also this article do follow NFF as there is booking ticket website https://bookitnow.pk/movie/sanak who confirms the release date. in regards to notable cause number of news source articles are available on the topic. the article is good to go for mainspace not for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmpwork (talk • contribs) 19:24, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm gonna go keep on this one. Appears to meet WP:NBASIC. Policy-based rationale follows.
The rules: Per NBASIC People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. WP:SIGCOV clarifies that "significant coverage" is coverage that addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. As we are ultimately here to decide collectively whether an administrator should use the extraordinary power of deletion to remove this article from the wiki, we must as always be mindful to resolve all doubts against deletion, and to apply the rules flexibly in support of our encyclopedic purpose.
The sources: It should be noted at the outset that search results may have been skewed by West African naming practices -- as in the article itself, the subject's name is written "Abideen Olasupo" about as often as "Olasupo Abideen". I'm seeing three categories of potentially relevant sources: (1) actual profiles, one unusable and one possibly usable; (2) interviews and mentions that are largely irrelevant to NBASIC but tend to show the subject's encyclopedic significance and likely relevance to readers, which may be relevant at the margins; (3) coverage of various political and journalistic initiatives in which Olasupo has played significant roles, containing coverage of the subject that is significant although perhaps not substantial and can be combined under NBASIC.
1. Profiles: the first source is the worst. The "Foundation for Investigative Journalism", which might easily be confused with other orgs with similar names, appears to be a project of Fisayo Soyombo with, at best, no clear track record of reliability. That delightfully thorough profile must therefore be cast aside. However, Olasupo has also been the subject of another profile, this one in the The Nation Online. Weighing in at 366 words, it contains substantial biographical information. However, as the "hook" for the profile is Olasupo's past work as a reporter for that newspaper, some might prefer to disregard this source as insufficiently independent. (I do not believe that is warranted, but let's move on.)
2. Neither substantial nor significant, but still illuminating: cited by CNN as a public policy analyst, interviewed by the (UK) Guardian on world youth poll, profiled by Tony Elumelu Foundation for COVID19 fact-checking initiative in 2020, interviewed on his election fact-checking work in 2023.
3. Significant though not substantial: Numerous independent reliable sources discuss Olasupo in the context of his FactCheck Elections initiative: [1], [2], [3]. Earlier, he received frequent attention as a leader of the Not Too Young To Run initiative in Kwara state: [4], [5] (contains but is not limited to quotes), [6]. There was also some coverage of his attendance at COP26: [7], [8]. Various outlets have covered his appearance at the UN ECOSOC Youth Forum in 2023: [9], [10]. (I have not attempted to compile a complete list.) None of these require OR to extract the content, and all can therefore properly be combined under NBASIC.
Conclusion: Olasupo has been the recipient of sufficiently widespread coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject, that it is appropriate and consistent with our encyclopedic purpose to combine the available sources under NBASIC. -- Visviva (talk) 03:56, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Thanks to Bejnar, the rogerebert.com citation is enough to verify. It's been a long time since I watched these but I think the role was prominent enough to meet WP:NACTOR. There seem also to be more citations under "Tom Wood", for example [14][15] —siro χ o 00:43, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes WP:NACTOR; he’s had significant roles in The Fugitive & U.S. Marshals and Ulee’s Gold. The Film Creator (talk) 15:02, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. First, as passing at least WP:NACTOR (going by the Tribune article The Fugitive is probably less of a central role than U.S. Marshals & Ulee's Gold, but all appear to meet NACTOR's requirement of significant roles). Second, because unless the Tribune article is a complete one-off he appears very likely to pass WP:NBIO as well; his hopelessly un-Googleable name isn't helping. Finally, because it would be extraordinary (and a sign that our own criteria were seriously out of whack) if six other Wikipedias had organically acquired articles on this fellow and he still didn't measure up. -- Visviva (talk) 01:16, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per siroxo, although I think a merge as a new L3 heading under Amy Balkin#Projects could also be fine. Without any real effort on my part to screen for the "best" sources, just grabbing three at semi-random, we've got e.g. about 150 words in this magazine article, more than 100 Spanish words in this book (preview cut off), at least 170 words in this one, and all seem fairly information-dense. This seems comfortably within the WP:GNG and in particular all sources seem to meet the WP:SIGCOV requirement to address[] the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content.. To the extent we're just haggling over whether to merge, I'd say that the unique properties of a person vs. a place, which affect things like coordinates, categories, etc., would militate in favor of keeping the articles separate. -- Visviva (talk) 01:03, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Every one of the sources I can find, including the LA Weekly article, discusses the singer within the context of the band. Even within her own article here on WP, the albums are from the BAND "Winter," not the PERSON "Winter." If we had an article on the band, I could easily be persuaded to merge and redirect, but I don't think this singer has enough notability on her own to have a standalone article. Joyous!

Move to Winter (indie rock band) (or similar, since there's also an American death-metal band named "Winter"). The coverage seems focussed on the band rather than the individual. MrsSnoozyTurtle 05:05, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the proposed move, which will require a re-write. If that happens I'll do the rewrite if no one else volunteers, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:44, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Winter (indie rock band) or something similar, and rewrite accordingly. Note that the band also has two album articles here: Supreme Blue Dream and Ethereality. I am not so sure about notability for those albums, but they have some basic media mentions indicating that this project is a band called Winter that is headed by Samira W. The band has some additional reliable sources found by Atlantic306 above, so there can be a basic article on them as a band. Samira W. does not qualify for one based only on herself. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Prod placed by another user was contested. A WP:BEFORE search yielded zero sources.

Keep I realise that this is only an essay, but I quote WP:BCASTOUTCOMES "Television series, game shows, and talk shows broadcast nationally by a major network or produced by a major studio are usually kept." Maybe in 2001 the internet was still at an earlier stage of development. Although I realise that notability isn't usually inherited, both the author Elizabeth Arnold (children's writer) and one of the actors Eleanor Bron do have Wikipedia articles, and the latter is fairly well known. PatGallacher (talk) 00:27, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Normally WP:BCASTOUTCOMES is a fairly good predictor, and as you say it is an essay and not policy. I would consider this a "short lived" television program given that it only lasted a single season and only had seven 25 minute long episodes. Per BCASTOUTCOMES and WP:NTVNATL (another essay), short lived programs are not necessarily kept. Having found no sources in an extensive search, it's my belief that this program went largely unrecognized by media because it was short lived and that there is not likely to be sufficient sources to pass WP:GNG. Further, per NTVNATL the defining measuring stick for notability is the "presence or absence of reliable sources". At this point we have nothing more that database entries in BFI and TV guide; neither of which have an attributed author or could be considered significant coverage. I'm not seeing an evidence based rationale to keep the article, and after considerable effort trying to find sources with no success I'm fairly confident deletion is the best course of action even in regards to the language at BCASTOUTCOMES per the "short lived" program exception in that essay's language.4meter4 (talk) 02:00, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per PatGallacher. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:47, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Necrothesp I am surprised that an admin would support an argument not based in policy. There are zero sources which meet GNG, and a thorough search in newspaper archives, JSTOR, EBSCOE, google books, google scholar, etc. has yielded nothing. Can you please explain why you think this is a good argument? I am honestly disheartened to see an admin who I respect supporting a badly made argument based on an essay and not policy with no supporting evidence.4meter4 (talk) 21:49, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is based on policy. WP:CONSENSUS, which WP:BCASTOUTCOMES merely illustrates. And any editor can make any argument they choose at AfD. I, personally, am disheartened by editors who seem to have the attitude that because someone is an admin they are not allowed an opinion and must merely trot out the "party line" (strangely, usually the one they back!). I've seen it all too often used as a threat against admins (including myself), and that is worrying. I'm sure you did not intend it in that way, but all the same. -- Necrothesp (talk) 07:44, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NTV. Insufficient coverage to ring the WP:N bell. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:14, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:NTV and WP:NBROADCAST are both essays, so playing one off against the other isn't conclusive. There appears plenty enough coverage to V this, and pretty much everyone agrees that it lasted for at most seven episodes, so coverage is really in line with what we'd expect for an early 2000s half-season show--but I kid. If it's not kept, then merging the whole stub to a section in Elizabeth Arnold (children's writer) is an appropriate ATD. Jclemens (talk) 07:34, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jclemens the deletion rationale was based on WP:GNG not an essay. As it is we still have zero references with "significant coverage". A brief advert type puff piece in The Daily Telegraph is not in-depth coverage, and neither are un-authored BFI and TV guide database listings. GNG is the standard, and so far none of the keep voters have put forward anything that could be perceived as sig cov such as a critical review or even a listing in an academic reference work on television. I am honestly dismayed that editors with experience are not looking at the sources with the usual critical eye that we apply at AFD across the board. Where are the sources with by-lined authors with some sort of original text, analysis, or commentary? Database entries may verify details, but they are not WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 19:09, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The essays suggest that offline coverage likely exists somewhere, since it was aired nationally. We acknowledge that things for which no sources can be found are not necessarily things for which no sources exist. We have a whole disambiguation page which will still have 20 other entries if this one is removed. Oh, and it doesn't even include a Steven Tyler song of the same name. Think there might be some difficulty searching for sources with that overlap? More to the point, does anyone really think the encyclopedia will be improved by removing a non-promotional permastub? Of course not. Jclemens (talk) 20:41, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't have nominated the article if I hadn't thought the encyclopedia would be improved. Jclemens, your view point boils down to a WP:MUSTBESOURCES argument which is listed as an argument to avoid at AFD. Further, basing a keep vote on an essay without community support is not good practice for an admin in my opinion. Additionally, I seriously doubt that sources with significant coverage exist. I have searched extensively for sources in numerous databases, reference works, academic search engines, etc. and I am fairly confident that there isn't any SIGCOV. I am generally very successful at finding critical reviews on obscure TV shows and films (as I create content in the arts regularly), and given that plenty of time has passed for television reference works to include coverage (which they do not currently) I am fairly certain deletion is the best policy based decision in this case.

So if you did all that legwork, why did it take three relists and me coming along for a proper ATD to be identified? And why did you not address my proposal in your responses to me? I routinely find things that "fairly certain" editors missed, which leads me to believe that, based on a preponderance of evidence, sources do exist for this sort of show, regardless of your stated efforts--I don't need to ABF to believe that you're more than likely wrong.

Comment It does get some reviews in bigger technical websites[20][21][22][23][24][25] but there's very little here beyond run-of-the-mill coverage and no particular reason to keep the current content (which is largely copied from datasheets and press releases) as a separate article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:04, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nomination, reviews found by Colapeninsula are good, but as they say, not evidence of separable notability. —Ganesha811 (talk) 14:18, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, otherwise merge per nom. IMO the third-party reviews cited in this AFD and the previous one are sufficient to pass the GNG (edit: and also WP:NCORP/WP:PRODUCTREV, given their significance, depth and apparent independence). However, given particular problems of this article and the general problems of product articles, I would ordinarily still favor a merge. But the problem IMO is that Sound Blaster is already rather unwieldy and is getting into WP:SIZESPLIT territory. It seems like merging now is just going to make more work for future splitters, with no real benefit. (I wonder, though, if perhaps some sort of reconfiguration into a List of Sound Blaster USB products or some such, spinning off that entire L3 heading from Sound Blaster, might be better way to structure our coverage.) -- Visviva (talk) 22:30, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Really seems to me that this should have been bundled with the nomination of David Kelly, as the two are almost inextricably linked. Here are some sources not present in either article:
- AMS Notices, more than one full paragraph devoted to discussing HCSSiM
- Passing mention in a book about Paul Erdos
- Post at the AMS Blogs about HCSSiM (note that AMS blogs are similar to the blogs described at WP:NEWSBLOG; they have a legitimate editorial process)
- [26] fluffy coverage of Kelly in the Riverside Press-Enterprise
- versions of the article about speed limits were published moderately widely (e.g. in the Boston Globe
- more AMS stuff
--JBL (talk) 23:30, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I am an alumna of the program in question. I'm 100% new to editing wikipedia, so please pardon my lack of knowledge about how everything works.

I agree the article is inadequately sourced, and would be more than happy to try to find better sources for lots of it, but I wanted to check first what kinds of sources are allowed. I have read WP:NOR and understand that sources should be secondary or tertiary sources, but am unsure what kinds of sources qualify as such.

For example, does this letter to the editor (page 2 of the pdf, from Susan Landau) qualify as a secondary source? Or this one?

Also, there is a documentary being made about the program. When that gets published, will it be a secondary source or a primary source? With-High-Probability (talk) 22:37, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
(To clarify since I can't figure out how to edit - the second post I linked is self-published, but it is by a mathematician and mathematics educator, which means it's a subject matter expert AIUI.) With-High-Probability (talk) 22:40, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A documentary could be primary or secondary depending on the details. For example, if it has footage of someone involved with the program being interviewed as a "talking head", then I'd call that a primary source for the person's own statements. What I'd look for is whether the program itself had editorial control over the documentary, i.e., whether the documentary is independent. XOR'easter (talk) 01:14, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi With-High-Probability, I found both the sources you mention (Susan Landau's letter and Jim Propp's blog post) but decided not to include them in my list as indica of notability; I think they could be used cautiously as sources if the article is kept. (Landau's letter could perhaps be used to support inclusion of people on a list of alums, for example.) --JBL (talk) 21:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are by now many other summer mathematics research programs for bright high school students, but this appears to be the one that started them all. I think there is enough coverage for GNG as linked above. For another hard-to-Google but in-depth and reliably published source, there's Susan Landau's "How I spend my summer vacations", AWM Newsletter 11(6), 1981, pp. 8-9, https://www.drivehq.com/folder/p8755087/1748723574.aspx . However, I don't think Kelly has independent notability from this program, so my opinion on his AfD was to redirect here. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:03, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Anushay Hossain

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

Wikipedia is not for advertising, marketing or public relations. Nearly all info in this article about Hossain comes from Hossain. The sources lack independence or are passing mentions: Simon & Schuster is the publisher of her book; UVA is a dead link, but appears from the title to be a primary source alumni interview; C-SPAN is a one-sentence identification of who she is; Women's Media Center is an advocacy organization that trained her ("to connect [her] to editors, reporters, producers, and bookers"); Ms. is a primary source interview; USA Today and Newsweek are authored by her; The National Press Club is a passing mention; HuffPost quotes her briefly; The Stream is a show produced by her; The Pain Gap and the excerpt in Vogue are authored by her; and the Spilling Chai podcast is hosted by her.

No independent analysis in third-party sources is cited. Do such sources exist? Searches of the usual types found a capsule review of her book in Library Journal, and full-length reviews in South Asia Journal (a magazine),[29] and The Daily Star.[30] If her book is considered a significant or well-known work, then two full-length reviews might satisfy the "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" part of WP:AUTHOR #3. In practice, however, I've found that the community does not consider a single general interest book with two reviews to be sufficient to demonstrate notability of the author. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:12, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Pain Gap. From my view, the book is notable, but there does not appear to be support for the "significant or well-known work" prong of WP:AUTHOR#3, which requires this "in addition" to "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" when an author has only written one book. I also consider capsule reviews to be 1 or 2 sentence blurbs, and the Library Journal review therefore more than a capsule and helpful support for WP:NBOOK notability due to the quality of the source and depth of the secondary commentary. Otherwise, similar to the nominator, my searches have not found substantial support for notability that is independent of the book, so a redirect to the book seems appropriate at this time. Beccaynr (talk) 18:39, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the The Pain Gap. There is lots of coverage for the book including several reviews that are easily identified, but there is almost nothing on the author, outside of press for the book launch.

Dilwala(2023 film)

A naïve Google search shows that this appears to be an unreleased film. IMDB, which is an unreliable source, says that it is upcoming. IMDB also has an incomprehensible summary, which was copied into this article, but which I have removed as copyvio. (The IMDB contributor apparently is not fluent with English.) This article was in mainspace, but was moved into draft space, citing paid editing and sockpuppetry. It was then declined, with the instruction to add reviews when the film was released. It has now been moved back into article space without the reviews (because it hasn't been released). Either the cast listing can be moved into draft space until the film is released and reviewed, or it can be blown up, and started over when the film is released and reviewed.

I cannot find there to be any more sources, as most of them other sources are about the band members, so I don't see this being a standalone article, as with the other first few tours that were redirected so I would say it would be for deletion.

I will also be restoring the following related articles to nominate them for the same reason of not meeting notability as the article mentioned:

The GAO source meets it. The Reverse Engineering book meets it (check for 2 locations). The NIST directory meets it. The subcommittee hearing would generally work for me as it should be under penalty of purjury, but we have enough either way. The other ones are a bit more dubious for various reasons but again, we have plenty. —siro χ o 17:39, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of any specific definition of any directory listing as trivial, especially not under that guideline.

The first two talk about the thing for a paragraph, and we have about 20 of them in Gscholar, should be enough for GNG. If this was a person, we'd be off to the races; Mr. XYZ discussed in 20 peer-reviewed journals? Easy notability. Oaktree b (talk) 00:10, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. I understand that and looked at the references. These are mainly saying that it exists and a brief overview of what it does. Nothing significant so still not seeing how this would get over the hurdle of WP:NCORP. If we allowed articles to be created that we cannot expand and consider them notable based on these types of mentions we could create a lot of company pages. --CNMall41 (talk) 00:35, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep For me, there are adequate sources such as the two books available to Google Books references above (Motor Vehicle Safety and Reverse Engineering) that meet the criteria for establishing notability. I can understand why there might be questions of the level of "in-depthness" (is that a word?) in those articles but you'd have to start by asking what level you belive might exist to describe the company. Sometimes a company can be notable and do something very simple that doesn't exactly lend itself to the availability of pages of analysis or opinion and I believe this is one of those organizations. With that in mind, the sources meet the criteria in my opinion. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:26, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seems in general possible to split the "Lennard-Jones potential" article.

Yet, it would not be obvious how. The only option that I could see would be to make a split to "Lennard-Jones potential" and "Lennard-Jones substance", i.e. the (theoretical) substance described by the Lennard-Jones potential. However, several aspects would need to be discussed equally in both articles.

The Khaleej Times article fails ORGIND, Techstory is a blatant ad, and it's unclear they have an editorial process, the Indian Express article, besides falling under INHERITORG, does not cover the software in depth. Not sure if it's based on the same IANS news release that was in this Economic Times article, which seems to be a permanent deadlink but I believe should have the same content as the (google cached) Deccan Herald article here, but neither is compliant to current standards.

After going through the sources readily, several either barely discussed the subject or only glancingly, while while the largest source discussing her character is clearly not reliable (while PopMatters may be, the author lists no credentials, is using a pen name, and another major article for the website is citing blockchain to Norse Mythology?). There aren't sources that appear to discuss the character outside of the scope of the games itself, or even the story for the first game as much. She's more a plot device than a fleshed out character, and what is there is failing SIGCOV. WP:BEFORE turned up much of the same, Rachel just doesn't seem to be independently notable.

I'm not saying PopMatters isn't reliable, I'm arguing the author of that article isn't a reliable source for the reasons given. It's a site that encourages submissions without payment and the individual authors of those submissions should be considered accordingly.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:25, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm a bit torn because while I do largely agree with the nominator's assessment of the article, this article did go through an AFD less than a year ago that resulted in an uncontroversial Keep consensus. I feel there should have at least been some attempt to bring up these concerns on the Talk page of the article to discuss a possible Merger before bringing it back to AFD within such a relatively short time after it was already Kept at AFD. Rorshacma (talk) 23:40, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the 1st afd lacks more participants and was maybe thoughtless closed. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 23:43, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I considered a merge proposal, but given how the previous AfD went felt it may trainwreck without a more organized discussion. Not to mention there seems to be an ongoing problem with those discussions being actually closed.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:46, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, believe me, I am very sympathetic to the fact that Merge proposals on Talk pages very often have little participation and often go ages without a closure, which is why I usually don't bring this up in AFD discussions where merging or redirecting is the obvious correct option. Its just the fact that this particular article had a very recent AFD in which no one in it actually advocated deletion which kind of gives a bad look to the process. But, that's just my two cents - as I said, I actually do agree with the nomination, and would support a merge. Rorshacma (talk) 00:04, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Article could only come up with is a short paragraph about LGBT representation in Life is Strange and not specifically about Rachel. Also, there is zero developmental info specifically about the character from a real world perspective, and a WP:BEFORE search does not turn up any better. Not to mention the WP:REFBOMBING of the article so it'll be like "Wow there are so many sources, this has to be notable". GreenishPickle! (🔔) 23:41, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Greenish Pickle!: Did you mean developmental info as in "that was the thought process of the developers for the development this character"? This and this have bits on that, not a lot but more than zero; this has the side of the voice actress. Daranios (talk) 14:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely dead lesbian syndrome. She did spend most of the relevant games' runtime being...dead in-universe. Haleth (talk) 05:19, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, yeah, I did participate in the last AfD. I thought it looked familiar. Keep per my reasoning then. And can we agree that deletion is off the table, and this is really a discussion substantially constrained to whether the character article should be kept standalone, or merged to the various installments in which she appears? Jclemens (talk) 00:31, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, or a full on redirect. That said how exactly do you feel it meets notability in light of things here? Your statement in the previous AfD was that the "article improvements" showed coverage in reliable sources, but that's being contested here as anything sufficient.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:39, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the game's article - I think a lot of the sources being put forth are critiques of the story itself rather than the character or their actions. Notability is not inherited, so just because a story elicited controversy over treating a character poorly does not make the character immediately notable. I believe the previous AfD conflated these two things incorrectly. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:25, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As I said last time, even after the removal of PopMatters we still have sourced, non-stubby article, which has a recepetion section to balance plot summary even if that is not very long. So WP:WHYN is fullfilled and I see no reason for merge or even deletion. I also wonder if really all secondary sources have been analysed in WP:BEFORE. E.g. PC Invasion has an interesting characterization for Amber having (or being seen as having) two sides, which has not yet been worked into the article, which (at least for Before the Storm) flies into the face of She's more a plot device than a fleshed out character. Procedurally I think this should have be a merge discussion rather than an AfD. Daranios (talk) 15:10, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Part of the problem is it's still primarily a review of the game. Even by the reviewer's own admission the characterization here is up to the player's interpretation and not an analysis on their part as that's the case with all the game's characters. So maybe assume a bit of good faith as to why I said what I did.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 16:12, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, sorry about my phrasing. What I should have said was that I see more in the secondary sources than you described. Like, I believe it's a good thing to have a multi-faceted character (Game of Thrones anyone?) which allows to say more about them. WP:GNG also specifically says that the topic does not need to be the source's main topic in order to count as significant coverage. Daranios (talk) 20:12, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Daranios Can you tell me which sources meet WP:SIGCOV here? I just scanned the titles so far, but those suggest the artices are about the game rather than the character. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:06, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: The short answer, basically already present in my reply to Greenish Pickle!: The secondary sources collectively allow us to create a sourced, meaningful article which fullfills the requirement of WP:ALLPLOT and WP:WHYN, so as usual I personally am satisfied with that. Individually, I'd say "Life is Strange: Before the Storm broke our hearts in good and bad ways" has a significant amount to say on the character, both plot and commentary. I did not yet have time look into all secondary sources, but have already found that there was more in those I have looked at than was previously present in the article. Maybe I'll find time to look more next week. Daranios (talk) 14:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Daranios, I like your arguments as they have merit, and I personally believe that most if not all the out of universe information presented in the article should be preserved without question. However, I am indecisive as to whether the character's dead lesbian trope, as noted by Jclemens, should be refocused and covered within a dedicated reception section in the series article (since we have one now), or in a dedicated standalone article for the character as per status quo. Weak Keep if there is a consensus that there is nothing wrong with the status quo, but I am not opposed to a merge into the series article if and only if someone is willing to do up a proper section about the reception and analysis of her role as a plot device over the course of two games. Often people who advocate a merge or redirect simply will not bother with preserving adequately cited content, they just want that article gone from mainspace and such a position works as an adequate compromise per AfD guidelines. Haleth (talk) 05:38, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Haleth: I am not fundamentally opposed to a merge if there should be a majority who thinks the character analysis we have uncovered would be better presented within the context of the games'/series' articles. However I personally fall on the side of a stand-alone presentation being both feasible and preferable. And I do share the concern with regard to merges that really all relevant information is preserved (including the recent additions). Daranios (talk) 15:18, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would prefer a merge myself, generally echoing Haleth, weak keep being second choice. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:09, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am the other way. Weak keep as a preference at this stage, merge being a second choice. Haleth (talk) 11:16, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I don't think there's enough significant sources talking about the character outside of the games itself to work as a standalone article, and a lot of the commentary around the character is essentially commentary on the game's tropes itself versus Rachel. And I agree that the PopMatters article isn't reliable in this case; it's someone with a pseudonym, not a staff-bylined article. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 21:24, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It should be noted that the keep opinions are NOT based any unproven assumption that sources have to exist somewhere, but rather existing sources are present and linked for everyone to see and check both in the article and the previous deletion discussion, which is the most basic argument when notability has been put in question. So keep statments here are argument-based, not votes. The content of the sources is such that we have "a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic" and more than "a few sentences", including a (now slightly expanded) decent-sized reception section. As that is the whole point why we have a notability requirement in the first place, I don't see why this article should be merged, much less deleted. Daranios (talk) 10:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My second line was partly meant to be amusing. But, the fact that this comparison to Twin Peaks' Laura Plamer is also richly elaborated on in sources that don’t count here (e.g.,in Tumblr lore), does not make the other print sources less worthy.

Comment Here’s the full citation of the second article that is archived above:

Drouin, R. A. (2019) ‘Games of archiving queerly: artefact collection and defining queer romance in Gone Home and Life is Strange', Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media, 16, pp. 24-37. doi: 10.33178/alpha.16.02

Some relevant quotes that show the centering of Amber:

“The exigency of numerous characters in their devotion to the missing Rachel Amber, a queer girl, links trauma to the premise of the game. By the game’s conclusion, players find Rachel’s corpse and realise she has been kidnapped, murdered, and potentially raped, shattering Chloe. Rachel, as the subject of a queer trauma archive, possesses a dual role of spectre and centrepiece. Haunting the archive, she is voiceless; details about her come second hand, and there are limited artefacts to compose her history. Players cannot fully understand her sexuality without the biased influence of Chloe, who is in love with her, or the prequel game, Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. It is also queer Chloe who preserves Rachel’s memory and memorialises her.” (p. 31)

“Sexuality and gender are overt themes and concerns of both Life Is Strange and Gone Home. This undisguised attention to queer girls prevents audiences from misconstruing the representation either game offers.” p. 34

“Despite relying on the deaths of queer girls to chronicle, the Life Is Strange universe equally hinges upon female devotion, from Chloe’s attachment of Rachel to the healing relationship between Chloe and Max. Rhetoric and archival theory influence queer representation in gaming.” p 34.

LingLass (talk) 03:25, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to all merge opinions: After some expansions, which do not yet incorporate all secondary sources found, Rachel Amber currently has a longer Reception/analysis section than Max Caulfield or Chloe Price. I think incorporating these sourced parts into either the series' or the individual games' articles would be either akward or require a major restructuring, as none of these articles has a characters section yet. So do you believe a merge is really the most beneficial course of action at this point? Daranios (talk) 10:14, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While there have been modifications to the article since this started, and I applaud those efforts...I still feel the sources even the new ones are looking at the story of the games and not her as an independently notable character outside of them. It's just not being demonstrated. I would almost suggest merging the respective bits of commentary to their corresponding titles, as nothing would be lost then.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:34, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources added by Daranios. I feel that there's a bit of goalpost-shifting with how "independently notable" is being construed by some participants here. We can certainly agree that simply being a character in a notable game does not by itself make the article subject notable. But that does not mean that the character can only be notable if they are covered outside of any connection to the game (which would be an impossible standard). Rather, it is simply necessary that the character be covered in independent reliable sources, etc., that address the character directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. That standard seems amply met by the sources here, many of which have extensive discussion of this character's story. And while it does seem like perhaps some sort of in-depth article on characters in Life is Strange might be a more optimal way of arranging this content, until someone gets around to doing that labor-intensive reorg, this article seems fine. -- Visviva (talk) 05:06, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This is the page creation of a new and apparently undeclared paid editor User:Shadowaxe990 (here's one revision of their sandbox). The pagespace might be retitled as Resume of Rio Caraeff which I would assess as a list-class WP:BLP. If I sound flippant it's because this is a list of press releases and overblown bare mentions assembled almost entirely with commas and "best of" lists of dubious worth. I see not a single citation which I could arguably classify as meeting significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. I'll assess sources (as of this datestamp): cites 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 are entirely resume/hr-related, routine business news; 3 and 6 are interviews. #8 is his appearance in Vanity Fair's 2010 "not quite in the top 100" top 43 list, #9 is another honorable mention (not in THR's 2012 top 50, but...), #10 he ranks 32nd in Fortune's 2009 40 under 40, #11 he's one of Fast Company's 2014 top 1000 most creative people in business (look at the list of 1000 alphabetized links), and finally Evening Standard's 2011 top 1000 Pop & Rock list.

Comment. Personal attacks on the article creator aside, I am not seeing any citations to any policy or guideline that would justify excluding these cites as entirely resume/hr-related, routine business news: [57], [58], [59], [60]. All of these are articles that are entirely about the article subject, which is substantially more than required under WP:SIGCOV. And unless there is some issue that hasn't been put forth here, Vox/Recode, Variety, and the Hollywood Reporter are all reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

Comment: Articles about a company hiring or releasing a subject from employment based on (fully quoted) memos or other such press releases (with extended quotes) cannot be reasonably considered substantial, independent, or significant journalistic coverage about an executive. When a big company hires an executive leader, human resources put out a press release. They would have done the same for ANY individual they hired for the position. Such articles are what the company wants said about them, much like an interview. Such reporting is more about the position and less about the individual. The press release is a function of corporate public relations and reporting of such a press release is NOT investigative journalism, it's considered WP:ROUTINE business news.

Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "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. Nothing in the article meets GNG/NCORP criteria for establishing notability. Looking at the THREE sources mentioned above:

This is in the Washington Post is about the suspension of the company's exchange following a "scandal". A slightly longer article in the National News reports the same facts with additional comments from chief market strategist at Century Financial in Dubai. They're just a sample of two reports, but many more exist all reporting the same facts. But none provide any in-depth "Independent Content" about the *company*, fails CORPDEPTH and ORGIND.
This in Vanguard is simply regurgitated PR, fails ORGIND.

None of the THREE meet GNG/NCORP criteria and I am unable to locate anything that does. HighKing⁺⁺ 16:37, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yat with acute

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

Cyrillic letters marked with the acute accent for syllabic stress (as used in dictionaries and readers) are not distinct letters or “stressed variants” of letters. The articles about them are not notable subjects meeting WP:GNG, but merely the cross-section of the subject of the respective base letter (Yat) with Acute accent or Stress (linguistics).

What is “soft deletion”? This proposal is for deletion.

There was nothing wrong with the previous deletion, but please let me know if you actually find a real problem. The proposed deletion was posted at the top of all of the articles. It was posted in article alerts for three WikiProjects.[68][69][70] It was posted in appropriate deletion logs.[71][72][73][74] An article creator was notified.[75] —Michael Z. 21:23, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Michael, look at WP:SOFTDELETE. It's used in situations where there has been low participation in a discussion and no Keep votes. The article is treated as if it is a Proposed deletion and can be restored upon request at WP:REFUND. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A with acute (Cyrillic) for an example of where Soft Deletion was used. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:39, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. JMWt seemed to be arguing against soft deletion due to low participation, so I don’t understand their intent. —Michael Z. 05:47, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You previously stated "See the previous deletion discussion regarding nine articles at.."

I was simply stating that there is nothing to see when nobody else contributed to the discussion.

As I said, it is very hard for me to make a comment on this AfD and it seems almost nobody else can either. In which case soft deletion seems like a mistake to me. I think we need more input for even soft delete beyond a single editor making statements that the rest of us are unable to parse. JMWt (talk) 06:15, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Or what you refuse to see is that editors view this as an uncontroversial deletion of material that’s all already in other articles where it belongs. Your argument is “I don’t understand this but I am suspicious of you.” If you can’t assume good faith then go ahead and find additional knowledgeable editors to comment before this discussion closes, or do some research and find some sources, but casting your unfounded doubts here is not helpful. —Michael Z. 15:15, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And the whole point of soft deletion seems to be this situation which you say it’s not acceptable for. If you don’t like the guidelines, then go change them instead of trying to bypass them in this discussion. I am not doing anything wrong, and your line is potentially disruptive. —Michael Z. 15:18, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Re: yat with diaeresis, from the image it is clear that the diaeresis was used as a substitute where the grave accent wouldn’t fit over the tall letter when setting metal type, in that one dictionary. Was that a convention, no idea, since that article is un-referenced. I would propose deleting it too. —Michael Z. 03:23, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable police officer.

Director-General is the highest possible rank in the IPS, which is clearly what I said. I said "rank", not "post". Just as an army officer can hold the rank of general and not be head of his nation's army. But we'd still write an article about him because of his rank, because reaching that rank is a clear indication of notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:37, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
DGP is the highest rank in the state, but is not holder of the highest position. Holding the highest rank does not make them automatically notable, though holding the highest post which is the chief of police staff in the state may do so. Per this list, there are 5 DGPs and 15 ADGPs in the state [76] and Kerala is among the smaller states, and most of the 3200 IPS officers stand a good chance of retiring as an ADGP or DGP.
