Borderline failure of WP:NBOOK. The author and publisher are both non-notable. There are three sources in the article and I could not find more during WP:BEFORE. The second source [1] seems fine as an independent review. The first source [2] has a conflict of interest: the reviewer discloses at the end that he was a guest of honour at the launch event of Wolf’s Lair.
The third source [3] is mainly a short interview of the author, which is excluded under WP:NBOOK: publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book

Author and publisher are both non-notable. Can't find any independent reviews of this book.

This article appears to fail WP:GNG as it lacks significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. The content is largely unsourced or relies on primary and non-independent references (e.g. the park website, RCDB), and most of the article reads like a fan-written ride guide in violation of WP:NOTGUIDE. Furthermore, the page has a prior deletion history — it was nominated for deletion in October 2018 and the result was a redirect, implying consensus at the time that standalone notability was not met. No substantial new sourcing has been added since then. Recommend deletion or redirect per precedent. Icem4k (talk) 23:51, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Non-notable band. Coverage from reliable sources is insufficient for establishing notability. Fails WP:NBAND. Also possible WP:COI or WP:PE. CycloneYoris talk! 21:00, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, United States of America, and Virginia. CycloneYoris talk! 21:00, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not understanding how this artist fails notability. The band meets at least two of the WP:NBAND criteria as outlined. They are the subjects of a feature documentary that has been distributed world-wide via Tubi and Amazon Prime. Additionally, their music has been featured in several independent films with global reach. Dndlive (talk) 21:37, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- Further, a conflict of interest does not exist with this publication, as the artists in question are independent and representing themselves. They are not receiving payment and I am not receiving payment for proposing their inclusion on Wikipedia. Dndlive (talk) 21:41, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- I humbly request that this article remain published due to artists meeting Wikipedia inclusion criteria, and that I be given the opportunity to revise the citations in order to avoid bare URLs and have a clear citation style. Any help is greatly appriciated. Dndlive (talk) 21:46, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- The feature documentary appears to be directed by the band founder, so is a WP:Primary source. I am not seeing evidence, in the article and WP:BEFORE, of any secondary coverage showing how the subject meets WP:MUSICBIO, including coverage of the documentary itself. As it appears to be mentioned in the article - I was going to propose redirect to David Dillehunt per WP:ATD, but the sourcing for the content in that article is also poor so I just don't see how this can be anything other than Delete. Happy to modify my !vote if coverage turns up. User Dndlive - if you need any help or hints on wikipedia notability please let me know. ResonantDistortion 22:08, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
A seemingly promotional article about a marketing professional and social media influencer who only received significant coverage in one article in The Inquirer [6]. He was also quoted and discussed in Philadelphia Magazine [7], but he was not the subject of the article—I don't think this counts as significant independent coverage. On the whole, fails WP:BASIC.

- Delete - there's no allegation or evidence for notability; he fails my standards for attorneys. Bearian (talk) 03:50, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
Keep in addition to the Inquirer, Philadelphia Magazine has more than 15 significant paragraphs [8]:
- No one represents the it’s-only-a-business new breed as much as TopDog Law, the entity launched by James Helm in 2019, not long after finishing — perhaps tellingly — a dual JD/MBA program at Rutgers.
- “It comes down to unit economics,” Helm said cheerfully on a legal industry marketing podcast last year. (The TopDog founder, who grew up in Delco and now spends most of his time in Scottsdale, Arizona, declined my request for a sit-down interview.) In the podcast Helm went on to explain that you first have to know the average fee you generate on a case — if it’s $10,000, you have work to do; if it’s $25,000, you’re doing pretty well. Then you need to calculate the cost of acquiring a client. If you understand those two things — and if the delta between them is large enough — “then I can get aggressive about acquiring new customers, and I can do it profitably.”
- Simple, right?
- It’s a formula Helm has used with great success. Six years after launching TopDog, Helm’s operation now has a presence, according to its website, in more than 35 cities across the country, from Ann Arbor and Atlanta to Washington, D.C. Thousands of calls and contacts come in each week.
- Key to the success have been decisions Helm made early on, starting with the consumer-friendly TopDog name. “I think traditionally [law] firms have been very bad at branding their businesses,” Helm said on the podcast. “Every other industry has names that are easy to say, easy to sell, easy to remember. Whereas with law firms, the brand wasn’t the focus.” In dubbing his outfit TopDog — a moniker that could just as easily have been used on, say, an energy drink or a new brand of kibble — he landed on something that both was easy to remember and conjured up winning. “I think a large part of our success is due to the name,” he said. “TopDog gets you top dollar.”
- Helm’s second outside-the-box decision was to focus on social media when it came to marketing. In part the strategy was born of necessity — Helm didn’t have enough money to advertise on TV; even Google AdWords was out of his league. But it also spoke to his age (27 at the time); Instagram and TikTok were as natural to him as TV was to Rand Spear.
- “We really thought there was room to revolutionize [legal marketing], especially on the social media front,” says Ian Harrington, TopDog’s first marketing director. (Harrington would go on to work for Pond Lehocky and is now co-founder, with Ryan Makris and Kate Schenkel, of Very Decent Marketer.) “At the time, no law firm was doing social media with any kind of success or results. It wasn’t by accident that we saw that as an opportunity. James was young; he was good-looking. He wasn’t as good on camera as he is now. That actually took a long time to get right. But we were willing to put in the reps to figure it out.”
- Early on, TopDog’s social strategy was based on Helm sharing his personal story. A high school wrestler, he’d started taking prescription painkillers following an injury at age 17, and he’s said he spent eight years as an addict before finally entering rehab while in law school. The message to potential clients: I know what it’s like to be down and out. I can help you get your life back.
- But in time that strategy gave way to something more over-the-top — kinetic videos of a hyper Helm doing everything from mugging at the camera to rapping. “We had to get our name out there by being bombastic and creating the TopDog persona,” says Harrington. “The algorithms of the platforms push the louder, the bombastic, the faster-cuts kind of stuff. And we really leaned into that.”
- As is increasingly the norm in the personal injury law business, the cases Helm generates — through social media or radio or all those TopDog billboards — are not primarily handled by him or any lawyer working for him, but by other lawyers around the country. In fact, if you look closely at the language, you see that TopDog Law isn’t really even a law firm. Helm’s LinkedIn page describes it as “a leading case acquisition and plaintiff intake platform,” while the TopDog website calls it “a national network for law firms licensed to practice in their applicable states.”
- The uber-referral model is not one every lawyer — even in the personal injury realm — is comfortable with. “I think it’s important for the consumer to understand who they’re retaining to represent them,” says Spear. “I’m here every day. I work morning till night. I like meeting with clients.”
- Perhaps more to the point: Advertising done primarily for the purpose of referring cases to other firms actually runs afoul of Pennsylvania’s Rules of Professional Conduct. As the rules put it: “It is misleading to the public for a lawyer or law firm, with knowledge that the lawyer or law firm will not be handling a majority of the cases attracted by advertising, to nonetheless advertise for those cases only to refer the cases to another lawyer whom the client did not initially contact.”
- When I email Helm about this, I get a quick reply from his general counsel, Sean Berberian. He says that because Helm — through the entity Helm Law LLC — maintains joint responsibility for all cases, he’s not, in fact, “referring” matters and is, therefore, “absolutely compliant with Pennsylvania rules of ethics, as well as other applicable jurisdictions.”
- As it happens, none of this may even matter. When I ask Thomas Wilkinson, the former Pennsylvania Bar Association president, about the relevant section of Pennsylvania’s rules, he essentially shrugs. “There is not a tremendous amount of policing in Pennsylvania of improper advertising. Sometimes that policing only occurs when there’s been a complaint about the quality of representation or a client feels they’ve been duped in some way. But for the most part, if clients are pleased with the outcomes, they don’t care a great deal about how they got to the lawyer.”
- I understand Wilkinson’s point. And yet it still strikes me as odd, the equivalent of a restaurateur — say, Marc Vetri! — running an ad for his restaurant, but then telling you when you call for a reservation that he’s going to get you a table at one of Michael Solomonov’s or Jose Garces’s restaurants.
- Then again, for better or worse, what TopDog and so many other personal injury firms are selling is less legal services than the idea of suing in the first place.
His billboard is covered by Philly Voice [9], a profile in OK magazine [10], his social media in Arizona [11]. Judging this against WP:BASIC, "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," there are five published independent sources. Little Astros Sign (talk) 11:53, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- This article is not significant independent coverage of James Helm, the person: it's mostly quotes of him and his staff about his company and the company's business strategy, with some light background info about Helm as founder. If anything it could count as coverage of TopDog, the company he created. More generally, Helm appears to makes a lot of noise about himself on social media and in the real world, so it's not surprising that some news outlet would quote him or mention him, but that still does not count as significant independent coverage. Separately, I am not convinced that OK! is a reliable source. JBchrch talk 12:56, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- I have found additional sources about him [12] [13] but to me the article seems to be coverage about both him and his company but are you saying that you think that there is coverage for the company not him? I think the opposite because the articles all describe him as a person as the creator of the billboard, and Philadelphia Magazine article mentions him 18 times. Anyway, WP:BASIC — "the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" — if Inquirer is already one independent source then the other six sources can combine to at least be one (which is more than one meaning it is multiple)? Little Astros Sign (talk) 13:14, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- I cannot access the Law360 article, but the Houston Chronicle article does not appear to offer significant independent coverage of James Helm as a person: it covers the billboard story, mentions that Helm is the person who created it, and quotes Helm. Looking at the sources you provided, the coverage falls in my view under the second prong of the rule you cite, i.e. "trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability" (emphasis mine). JBchrch talk 13:24, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

Fails WP:N. No significant coverage in secondary sources for the content covered here for a standalone article. Also, this term can have different meanings, and better if covered on related articles. This page says "Leela Charitra is a biography of Chakradhar Swami", but no mention on Chakradhar Swami. If needed, a section can be added on Chakradhar Swami.

Poorly sourced article, which is also filled with promotional clutter and unnecessary external links. A WP:BEFORE shows that the subject is somewhat notable, but coverage from reliable sources is clearly lacking. Fails WP:BIO and WP:NDIRECTOR. CycloneYoris talk! 22:35, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

- Hello, CycloneYoris. I am the subject of this article and I disagree that notability fails Wikipedia standards in that regard. I am aware that this article was created nearly 20 years ago. It appears that the citation quality is lacking, but the projects themselves rise to the national and international level which is required in those standards. I would propose that these poor quality citations be corrected instead of article deletion. 64.96.70.108 (talk) 00:13, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Comment: - I read the NPR review and it's brutal. The Rotten Tomatoes sources are, well, rotten tomatoes. Be careful what you ask for. As I've written before, sometimes it's only the bad reviews that prove notability, while the puff pieces are just the deprecation of media in an age of corporate budget cuts. Again, are you sure that you want notoriety? I mean, really? Bearian (talk) 16:19, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hello Bearian. I like your comment, it's quite funny. That piece is a brutal but honest review and I appreciate that someone with NPR took the time to assess the film. As an artist, I take the good with the bad. Notoriety remains subjective – but I value the global reach of my projects, whether viewers like them or not. 64.96.70.108 (talk) 16:27, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm a fan of his "You Can't Do That on Film" documentary, but I've voluntarily updated the page for years out of respect to the filmmaker. I'm a freelance graphic designer and I'm not receiving any compensation for these updates.

Doesn't meet WP:NBLP. (Definitely doesn't meet WP:NPROF.) Leaving out the first-party sources and blogs, all that remains are:
- two Wired articles from '97: basically interviews, one explicitly calls him "fringe"
- the BBC article from '99: somewhere between credulous and Britishly bemused
- the 2010 Geraci book: does mention him a bunch of times, but only as an example of a transhumanist / posthumanist / extropian / I guess we would call this TESCREAL now?
We also know now that his research program was not successful in creating artificial brains, let alone planet-sized ones. That doesn't invalidate any of the sources but it does put them in a different light. It's not at all clear that he originated any of these concepts: most were established scifi tropes well before he started his research. I did do a WP:BEFORE search, which is when the two Wired articles were added. As far as I can tell, with the available reliable sources, he isn't notable outside of a certain segment of the internet.

- keep that his project failed doesnt mean he is not notable. I checked Google Scholar and found multiple (10+) papers with over 100 citations which is generally at the threshold but usually enough for passing WP:NPROF#1 and on top of that we have media coverage over his (failed) project which also counts towards GNG. I also found a full chapter on him in the book The Path to Posthumanity (pg 57 onwards). Taken together: I would say (weak) notability for NPROF and weak/okay notability with regards to GNG which leads me to conclude that notability is established and there is no reason to delete a reasonable, well sourced, quite NPOV article about the subject. --hroest 15:14, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment I'm a little concerned about a keep argument based purely on citation counts, since several of the publications were coauthored, and their numbers aren't that big for a high-citation field and for potentially accumulating citations since the '90s. (Also, the Google Scholar link above doesn't work; try searching just with his first initial instead.) Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction (talk) 19:18, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
- Agreed that just citation counts can be deceiving, but while I'm not sure my direction (hence a comment), we should take into account that the field was significantly lower-citation in the 1990s and reference counting from then wasn't as good as it is now. When I vote it'll probably be mostly based on the Path to Posthumanity chapter, not citation numbers. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 20:18, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

- Weak delete based upon failing WP:NPROF. Similar to others above, I am not convinced by the citation numbers claim by hroest. I make his h-factor somewhere in the 25-30 range, which is low for a high citation field. Having a few > 100 cited articles is significantly less (in most of science) than what is typically discussed at WT:NPROF and AfD. If others can persuade me of a WP:GNG pass I will change my vote.

The Portuguese Wikipedia references seem adequate to me to demonstrate notability. If consensus is keep, ping me and I will try to make some improvements to it in the next couple weeks. - Ike Lek (talk) 21:27, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- As a prolific contributor to this article and a native speaker of European Portuguese, I have no reservations about writing the sections on Angola and Mozambique, with a view to enhancing the utility of the article. It is imperative to note that greater care will be exercised in the near future to ensure the inclusion of additional sources. Cantrusthestory (talk) 23:36, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTDICT: most exonym articles are indiscriminate lists of examples of the trivial and obvious fact that each language adapts foreign names to its own phonology and/or orthography.

- Keep - As a prolific contributor to this article and a specialist in linguistics, as well as a native European Portuguese speaker, I posit that articles of this nature are necessary on account of their educational value, cross-linguistic and cross-cultural navigation, and their potential to facilitate translation and multilingual writing. Moreover, they ensure searchability and disambiguation for those who wish to navigate not only any list of Portuguese exonyms, but also any other language, including even endangered languages.

- @Cantrusthestory Thanks for your expertise. Could you possibly add some citations to this article? Perhaps some of those on the Portuguese article. Nowadays most citations (except pdfs) can be easily added by using the “automatic” option in Visual Editor.

Seems like a case of the old WP:NFOOTY met WP:TOOSOON. The player played 13 minutes in Spain's second division, as a substitute on the last day of the season. That's going to be hard to spin into an article arguing that he had any notability as a footballer. Interestingly, somebody of the same name in the same part of Spain (and how many Frenchmen are on this side of the Pyrenees) is now a shepherd with some local news coverage [21] [22] but gee, you'd think they'd throw in a mention of his football career if they could, just like mine or your local newspaper do with other small business owners.

Keep – The subject of this article, Ali Tajdari, clearly meets Wikipedia's notability criteria under several guidelines:
- He is a multi-time national champion in Vovinam and has represented Iran in international competitions. This satisfies WP:NATHLETE.
- He has a documented professional MMA career, verified by third-party databases. This also satisfies WP:NATHLETE and confirms independent verifiability.
- He has released multiple music albums, performed concerts, and has coverage in reliable media, satisfying WP:NARTIST.
- He has acted in national television productions with non-trivial, recurring roles – fulfilling WP:NACTOR.
- The subject’s multi-disciplinary recognition has received coverage from multiple independent and reliable sources, meeting WP:GNG.
It is important to note that this article has existed on Wikipedia for over three years and has been subject to continuous improvement and scrutiny. Notably, two of Wikipedia's most experienced and respected administrators have contributed significantly to refining this article. The fact that these senior editors have worked on it strongly suggests that the subject's notability and the article’s reliability have been thoroughly evaluated.
Given this context, the sudden nomination for deletion appears premature and lacks sufficient justification. Wikipedia's deletion policy emphasizes improvement over removal, especially for articles that have been maintained and expanded over several years.
The appropriate course here should be article improvement, not deletion. Per Wikipedia’s core values, deletion should only occur when an article is irremediably non-notable or unverifiable, which is not the case here. More sourcing and clarification can continue collaboratively.

- Delete (Notified by Jijijef) - I am not convinced that GNG has been satisfied or any notability criteria. Fram pretty much summed up the issue. I don't see where enough improvement can take place for this to meet the notability guidelines due to a lack of verifiable information and a lack of reliable sources. The fact that five separate users declined this at Articles for Creation over a 35 day period on notability grounds is telling. --Super Goku V (talk) 19:34, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Not a single reference in this article confers notability to the subject, and it appears to largely serve to advertise the subject's marketing books. All twenty four references at the time of writing are the subject's own books and articles, database listings, Abebooks, and similar.

Lots of trivial mentions, primary sources, etc. used as sources which do not contribute to notability, and the article is largely a promotional showcase with a non-neutral point of view.

- Delete per WP:NPROF and WP:GNG – While the subject is clearly a promising early-career researcher, the article does not currently meet the inclusion standards of WP:NPROF or WP:GNG. The majority of sources are affiliated with the subject or their institution, and there is no sustained, in-depth coverage in independent, reliable secondary sources. Awards and academic service, while commendable, fall short of notability thresholds without significant third-party recognition. Notably, the subject has expressed a desire to have the article removed, which should be taken into consideration. —BorderlineRebel 16:40, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
- Request for Deletion. I am the subject of this article. While I appreciate the effort behind its creation, I do not wish to have a Wikipedia page at this time.

- Delete/Redirect - A cursory search shows that an actual prose article on the topic of synesthesia in fiction is certainly feasible (and in fact we already have the start of an article that does just this for literature at Synesthesia in literature). However, this is just an almost entirely unsourced list of examples, many of which are either from non-notable works or a one-time mention/gag, that runs afoul of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I have no objection to redirecting this to either Synesthesia#Society and culture or Synesthesia in literature if preserving the history would be useful for expanding either of those articles. Though, given that there are only three sources here, two of which are from non-reliable sources and third is for a character that does not have synesthesia, I am not sure how useful it would be.

- Delete/Redirect per Rorshacma. This is an unsourced list of examples that violates WP:NOT, WP:SIGCOV, WP:OR, and WP:V. Wikipedia is not a directory of examples identified by our editors. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes what reliable sources have said about a topic. As of yet, I haven't seen sources that demonstrate support for an article about this topic. But if we did, it would be a WP:TNT situation. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:39, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
- Well, we can't keep this. One option is to delete it (looking at the "sourced" parts, there isn't really anything worth merging). Another option, if anybody feels up to it, would be to remove all the current content and start writing a prose article here (compare e.g. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genies in popular culture (2nd nomination)). There are two different approaches to writing X in popular culture/X in fiction articles: TV Tropes-style lists like this enumerating examples, and prose articles consisting of analysis from secondary sources on the overarching topic (e.g. Mars in fiction, a WP:Featured article). The issues with the former approach was outlined as early as 2008 in the essay WP:CARGO, and it is well past time that it were deprecated. TompaDompa (talk) 20:38, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Having attempted to find more sources for this newspaper, I've ended up coming up dry. In English, the only significant coverage I can find is the article by Dimitris Troaditis, which has been republished in a couple other websites. A search for more sources only brought up a single source, which mentions the newspaper in passing and provides no detail about it. Attempts to search for it in Greek mostly brought up false positives, due to its use as a phrase to say "forward".
As I've only been able to find a single source that gives it any in-depth coverage, and as I can't find any significant coverage in any other sources, I'm nominating this for deletion. The source could be moved to the anarchism in Greece article if it's worth keeping around. Grnrchst (talk) 14:39, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

"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. The brand was "launched" in August 2023 and these sources are simply regurgitating the same information provided by the founder about herself and the new brand. Fails ORGIND and NCORP.

WP:BLP of a political figure, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NPOL. The attempted notability claim here is that he's active in a political party's local chapter in a city, with no claim that he's ever held any office that would satisfy NPOL #1 -- but the article features no footnoting at all, and instead is just "referenced" to a contextless stack of weblinks mixing primary sources that aren't support for notability at all (Instagram, YouTube videos) with news articles that aren't about him, and just glancingly namecheck his existence as a participant in an event, which is not the kind of media coverage we're looking for.

I created this article in good faith, but after several years there is still no evidence of significant independent coverage. All sources remain limited to the subject’s own website or directory listings, and the article was tagged in 2016 for additional citations, which have not materialised. After reviewing Wikipedia’s notability guidelines (WP:GNG, WP:RADIO), I now believe Zambezi FM Radio does not merit a standalone article.

- Delete. Does not meet WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NACADEMIC. There are a couple of book reviews of "What do men want" which could support an article about that book. There is a single article about a protest about a speech she gave. The bulk of the article is about a lawsuit, which is WP:ONEEVENT and not a particularly interesting or notable one. cagliost (talk) 12:56, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Redirect: to the article about "What do Men Want", seems to easily pass AUTHOR notability [34], [35], [36], [37]. This was all in about 10 seconds of Google search...

The article history seems problematic for her, so I think we should honour her request.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:20, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep the author of two very notable books about which we have articles and which have many reviews in places like The Guardian, The Times, The Times Literary Supplement and academic journals. Her 2009 book is showing up on academic syllabuses and in articles like this from Verso[40]. Arguments that this is a case of WP:BLP1E and of not meeting WP:AUTHOR are clearly wrong.Jahaza (talk) 15:40, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

- IMO, 2 books with WP-articles doesn't necessarily equal "a significant or well-known work", context matters. And like (almost) all SNG:s, NAUTHOR falls under "Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:14, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
- The GNG itself is a rebuttable presumption, so that's not really much; just one of her works seems rather significant in the realms of feminist theory. We can delete anything provided there is consensus, that's the "Presumption". PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:17, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
- The point of the SNG is that if we have, say, an author with two books with three reviews each, we presume that they're notable and don't have to dig and dig for additional sourcing to "prove" it. But here, we're well past that point, where there are tens of reviews of her work, syllabi[41][42][43][44] and reading lists[45][46][47][48] that include it, and she's being referenced as a figure with whom people generally interested in the field of feminist theory would be familiar[49] and profiled in general interest, if highbrow, magazines[50].

Her role at the time as an influential left-wing feminist isn't obvious nowadays from a cursory google. and hasn't been clear to date in the article (which in terms of word count has been dominated by the Turner legal case). Her rightward turn and very different book, What Do Men Want?, appears to have also had traction in many circles on the right and has been widely reviewed. She has also been widely published as a commentator for various mainstream publications at different times. — LittleDwangs (talk) 22:22, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

One of the most notable rivalries in American sports has been the Yankees-Dodgers from the 1941 to the 1981 before they ever met in the regular season, and were never in the same division, let alone the same league. Another example, this time from basketball, is Celtics-Lakers. And this is clearly not "completely made up" given Conyo's sources.

- Keep There are literally more than a dozen VALNET (CBR, ScreenRant) articles substantially about Cerebro spanning several years; even if we only consider each a fraction of a reliable source--and they're really more like comic book issue reviews, for the most part--that's still at least one source towards the GNG. Cerebro has its own Lego set. And Cerebro does get namedropped without further explanation by EW (actually, multiple times if you search the EW archives). Throw in print references like Hall, R. A. (2021). Robots in Popular Culture: Androids and Cyborgs in the American Imagination. United Kingdom: ABC-CLIO. and Dudenhoeffer, L. (2017). Anatomy of the Superhero Film. Germany: Springer International Publishing. and we've got a clear pass. Jclemens (talk) 09:17, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- Oh, Meehan, P. (2009). Cinema of the Psychic Realm: A Critical Survey. Ukraine: McFarland, Incorporated, Publishers. has an X2 plot summary coverage of Cerebro as well. Jclemens (talk) 09:21, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- Valnet sources do not provide notability at all; their presence is a null point in proving notability. A Lego set is not an indication of notability given that is merchandising; a company can market a non-notable character as much as it likes, but if the coverage from third party sources isn't there, it's moot. Both EW and the McFarland sources are plot summary, the Springer source is a trivial mention. The only actual coverage we have in here that isn't plot summary is a single sentence in the Robots in Pop Culture source. Your sources are clearly failing Wikipedia:NOTPLOT and Wikipedia:SIGCOV's definition of trivial sources, with not a single one beating either definition. Even if you argue Robots in Pop Culture counts, that's one source, and given how little else got turned up, I doubt there's more, and one source does not make an article. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 16:51, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- 1) WP:VALNET is 1) a video game notability discussion, not specific to cinema or comics, and 2) doesn't even say that about video games. If you look, it's listed as "situational", not deprecated, invalid, unreliable, or any such.
- 2) NOTPLOT is about how we write about things. A secondary source that is 100% plot summary is not thereby unusable, but rather is necessarily transformative.
- 3) The Robots in Popular Culture reference is not
a single sentence
. Rather, it's a two-page article on Cerebro/Cerebra spanning pages 103-104. Your mischaracterization is hard to square with reality. What single sentence did you find instead of the actual entry on Cerebro? - 4) The fact that a fictional element has been rendered into a concrete form for sale absolutely constitutes "real world" impact. My take on this, User:Jclemens/FICT, has been consistent on this for well over a decade. Jclemens (talk) 18:56, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- I will note Wikipedia:FILM also tends to have a similar, if stricter view on Valnet. Also, not sure what you mean by WP:VALNET not mentioning this when it outright states: "In general, these sites should not be used to demonstrate notability due to concerns over their content farming. "
- NOTPLOT still applies when all of the sources you've grabbed are plot summaries. What article are we going to have that wouldn't just be all plot summary if all the sources have is plot summary?
- The Robots in Pop Culture source is all plot summary, barring the one sentence at the end. There's very little actually significant in terms of its coverage.
- Your opinion is not a policy on how merchandise should be treated in regards to notability. Even in just past discussions, merchandise has repeatedly not been considered viable for demonstrating notability.
- Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 20:03, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- 1) You're treating as guideline an essay, and ignoring its nuance. For example, regarding ScreenRant, it notes:
Considered "marginally reliable" per 2021 RfC on WP:RSP. May be inappropriate to cite for controversial statements in BLP pages, but source is deemed reliable enough for other uses. Sometimes spelled as "Screenrant".
That's not a never. - 2) I shouldn't have to educate you on how to create an article, but here goes. If plot summaries in independent RS'es establish notability, then other sources--such as Valnet--can be used to flesh out appropriate details, per WP:NNC and thus easily making an article by, for example, copying tidbits from reviews that don't constitute non-trivial coverage. Did you really not understand this be the case before? I'm genuinely curious.
- 3) It's an article that takes up two pages in a dead-tree book that's independent of the franchise. For you to double down on characterizing it as a single sentence is inappropriate and smacks of motivated reasoning, and calls into question all your characterizations of source
ds. Are you so interested in "winning" that you're willing to downplay sourcing? Explain to me how that's not BATTLEGROUND? - 4) Never said it was. I said it's how it should be. The fact that Wikipedia defines notability in a picayune manner that entirely ignores things like, oh, major corporations investing money trying to sell a product based on a fictional element continues to be wrong, and I continue to bring it up whenever relevant. You're welcome to disagree, of course. Jclemens (talk) 06:35, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

- I feel we'll have to agree to disagree on a few of these points, but I will clarify that I'm not trying to "win", at least in the way you're phrasing it.

- Just on two specific points: The Springer source comments on the artistic rendering of Cerebro in the X-Men film(s) and how that impacts the character of Professor X, so some non-plot stuff.

- The articles 49er and 49erFX constitute two different classes of boat. These two articles are seperate olympic classes and are recognised seperatley by World Sailing. If the 49erFX page constitutes a content fork, than the ILCA 7, ILCA 6, and ILCA 4 dinghies should all be counted as content forks of the ILCA page. The 3 rigs within the ILCA hull all are counted under 1 class association, as are the 49er and 49erFX. The article for the 49er contains only 1 sentence about the 49erFX which does not constitute appropriate coverage. While the 49erFX's hull specifications are shared with the 49er, the difference in rig size is mentioned within it's article constituting seperate discussions. This, once again, mirrors the situation between the several rigs of ILCA, and the 49erFX's article abides by the rules layed out by the existance of 4 articles for 1 hull size. The deletion of the 49erFX's article would contradict this rule andresult in unfair bias against women's classes in sailing. Fin.Seaman (talk) 10:30, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

- Strong Keep — Here are several sources that explain connections between the weather and politics. Oh…and here is an article by CNN specifically connecting 2020 weather events to politics and the 2020 Presidential election. Here is an academic article specifically on how weather events 2012–2020 affected the US presidential elections. Must I continue? Very clearly not a synth topic and clearly not a coatrack as suggested by the deletion votes above. In fact, it is would no more “coatrack” or “synth” than everything listed in the 2020 in climate change article, as there is no source connecting all the parts of that article together. This is a general-sum topic on how severe weather influenced and changed politics during the year 2020, whether it led to the creation of new legislation, new state of emergency declarations, or even how it started misinformation and political issues.

- That article about 2012-2020 is about one state, and is not about "severe weather" but about rain. The CNN article is even worse: "Bad weather is one problem the 2020 election won’t have" is the actual title. It does briefly discuss the effect of rain during election day in earlier elections. Basically, these articles may support an article on "influence of the weather on American elections", but not the current article. Fram (talk) 13:05, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. There's way too much irrelevant detail here: "that tally is surpassed only by the Tornado outbreak of March 31 – April 1, 2023 with 134, the 1974 Super Outbreak with 148 and the 2011 Super Outbreak with 219." "Soon afterward, Isaias reached its peak intensity, with maximum 1-minute sustained winds of 90 mph (150 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 986 millibars (29.1 inHg)" "For example, a man allegedly set fires in Glide, Oregon, after a Douglas Forest Protection Association member refused to give him a ride to town". If this article is going to work, you need to cut all the irrelevant crap that's about meteorology, history, or causes that are unrelated to politics. Then there's "The legislation passed the Oklahoma House of Representatives 89-11 in March, but failed to pass the Oklahoma Senate in April 2020", which is about pretty generic safety information, not really something political. That's what makes this seem particularly like synthesis. You bring up the New York legislature ("state congressional" does not exist) investigating a utilty, but this also seems like government working like it should, not "influence on politics". This doesn't have any relationship to tornadoes resulting in relocation of voting sites and extended hours, which seems pretty mundance. You bring up a bunch of sources above about climate policy, election day turnout, and perceptions of climate risk, but even though there are in fact connections between weather, climate, and politics, that doesn't have anything to do with "Assisting members were provided personal protective equipment to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19. At emergency shelters, masks and gloves were provided to residents." Mere government response isn't politics. I see literally nothing in the Easter Outbreak section that is politics-related. Gosh, I legitimately came into this writing a Comment without a !vote to recommend trimming the fat thinking something could be done with this, but as I read and wrote more it got worse. Seriously, what in the Hurricane Laura section has anything to do with politics? Unbelievable amount of irrelevant details, and the president visiting the area is not an influence on politics, at least not any that can be connected in an encyclopedic way to all the other topics. I do appreciate that you've started a draft on the bigger picture rather than 2020 events in particular, but you should keep it focused, not a coatrack. Reywas92Talk 14:45, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

- (edit conflict) Actually, you are just straight up wrong. Influence literally means to affect, control, exert power, or change. A hurricane affects the government and causes a state of emergency. That state of emergency is directly a cause of the hurricane. No hurricane = no state of emergency. No hurricane = no disaster funds. No hurricane = no government action. The government does not have to help, but they choose to..more specifically they are influenced into helping. The disaster (and their constituents affected) influences politicians into helping. So yes, disaster relief is influenced by severe weather disasters. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 15:36, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

- It is, but it is still a political directive that would not have occurred unless the disaster occurred. @Oaktree b: You mentioned "
California isn't the US Federal gov't though... This goes all over the place
", because American politics are not just national politics. The Politics of the United States article specifically talks about federal, state, and local politics. The first sentence of this article states, "During 2020, several severe weather disasters...affected American federal, state, and local politics...
" This discussion has always been regarding federal, state, and local political involvement. If you thought it was just national-level, then you might want to revise some previous statements or thoughts, since it has been all three. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 19:16, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

- I don't need a condescending dictionary definition. Moreover, just because a hurricane influenced a government action doesn't mean it influences politics. Even if politics can be a broad concept and politicians are involved in disaster response, do not conflate the very different aspects of routine news of emergency declarations and recovery funding with electoral politics and peoples' political views like the sources in your vote touch on. It's synthesis to combine all of these aspects where the sources don't do so and I don't see an encyclopedia article here. Again, a US-specific disaster relief article might be great, but don't have it just be a list of disparate examples. — Reywas92Talk 15:59, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Departure– (talk) 16:37, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. There is likely a valid article to be had on the impact of climate/weather on politics, probably even at a country level. I mean, there's a decent argument to be had that the Midwestern US is as we know it today due to extreme weather triggered by a volcanic explosion in SEA.) I did find the Nazi reference in a keep vote... a little out there if I'm being honest, but it does remind me of another city whose fate was changed by clouds. Anyways. Yes, weather and extreme weather events can have a massive impact on politics, but it happens very gradually, and less in a "Polls were open and disaster relief was given" way and more of a "what happens to a region impacted by droughts or to a regime when a hurricane kills 300,000 of their people" way. This article is a coatrack of every time a major storm happened in the US in 2020 and it prompted any form of government response, then synthed into one article. I'd have normally been okay with draftification as an ATD... but given how long it takes for the impacts of weather on a country's politics to be discussed in sources, even if there is something here it's not going to be a viable article topic for years if not decades.

This article was originally created in 2007. In June of the same year, it was mentioned on the talk page that this article was likely not appropriate for Wikipedia, namely under notability. A Google search on this Society lists either primary sources or self-published sources. It is also noted here in 2016 that this article violated WP:COPYPASTE in an older version of the article, requiring cleanup. Unfortunately, based on all the available historic evidence and available sources (or lack of reliable ones), I think deletion appears to be the only logical option currently. 11WB (talk) 07:57, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Almost all the sources about the subject look like puff pieces. Other sources are not about him (they seem promotional/PR as well), they are about the films, and general gossip sites/tabloid-like coverage. In essence, actor fails WP:NACTOR (only two films, we cant be sure about lead roles), and there is not significant coverage in reliable sources, failing general notability guidelines as well.

- Keep. Does meet WP:NPOL, when it states: "This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them", which this sentence specifies winning an election to a notable seat, but haven't been seated which this can clarify Evans being notable. There is the list List of members-elect of the United States House of Representatives who never took their seats, and all of them have blue links, and the list includes people who have not held offices before and were just member-elects to their first public office that they won the election for. MoviesandTelevisionFan (talk) 20:40, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- Reply. Election to a national legislature is far more notable than election to a subnational legislature, particularly a legislature with very small constituencies. A cursory glance at the individuals at the list you mention shows that many of them would qualify under different notability guidelines. Jack Swigert was an astronaut. Samuel Marx was a member of the New York City Council. Even in cases where I think notability may not otherwise be present, Luke Letlow was a particularly prominent COVID death. The articles are not X was elected to Y and then resigned before anything happened. Do you have three really good sources that back up Dawn Evans having a stand-alone article?--Mpen320 (talk) 14:51, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: WP:NPOL question aside, are additional sources likely to exist for WP:NOPAGE purposes? If all the article can ever say is "X is a politician who was elected in Y year, but refused their seat", then a redirect to the election article with a note they refused to be seated is sufficient. My experience with writing articles for NH state representatives, of which I have done several, is that non-incumbent/non-controversial candidacies themselves typically do not receive much coverage due to the nature of the state house. Curbon7 (talk) 23:32, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- This is what I was thinking too. Certainly passes WP:NPOL, but we should consider a redirect per NOPAGE. I had a challenge even finding significant coverage that explained the subject's refusal to be seated and minimal coverage about the election itself. As examples, the article (as it existed on July 6), has a mention that the subject is a small business owner, but nothing more and there are certain attestations attributed to the local Democrats page, which I wasn't able to find a better source. - Enos733 (talk) 02:13, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect to 2024 New Hampshire House of Representatives election as an alternative to deletion. As far as the part of WP:NPOL stating "applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them", I believe that is meant to clarity it is not a violation of WP:CRYSTAL to create an article for a state legislator-elect and thus we can avoid numerous AfDs for people who will (in 99.9% of cases) take office within a few weeks. I do not believe it means that every state legislator-elect is inherently notable even when there is a lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. I consider this a BLP1E situation (if that) and so I think a redirect is the best approach. Such an approach is also in line with WP:NOPAGE. --Mpen320 (talk) 15:32, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

- Delete content. Not an actual neighborhood, even if there's a vague idea in San Francisco of the western neighborhoods that were historically developed from the Outside Lands west of the Western Addition. Still, the Richmond, Sunset, Parkside, etc neighborhoods are very much separate entities and overall, an article on this topic makes about as much sense as an article on North of Market, San Francisco.

- REDIRECT to Little Lake City School District, which I improved using the newspaper article cited in this article and other sources that I found when trying to establish whether this is a notable topic. The newspaper article establishes that there was a lake, which by the 1950s was dry and being built on. The main focus there is on the early days of the school district. The Arcadia book on Santa Fe Springs has more on that and also fills in that Little Lake was the first name used in 1952 by the homeowners' association that began the movement to incorporate during the huge post-war residential expansion in the area; they soon switched to using Santa Fe Springs, successfully urged the high school district to rename Little Lake High School (now Santa Fe High School; our article does not mention its original name), and the area was incorporated in 1957 as Santa Fe Springs. (See p. 95.) Little Lake was in short a brief precursor name to Santa Fe Springs, and otherwise has never been a distinct area, although the Arcadia book notes that residents wished the new city to correspond to the school district in its boundaries. In addition to the school district and the park and cemetery mentioned in our article, there is a retirement facility named for the lake, but even Little Lake Road has been renamed within Santa Fe Springs. I checked the two names of early residents given in the article, John J. Orr and James Warren Day, and found them mentioned only in proximity to mentions of the school district, not of any distinct area, in Guin's 1907 History of California. The article is synthesis or a misunderstanding; the school district is a better target for the redirect than is Santa Fe Springs, for which "Little Lake" was a very transitory, rejected name.

After the long run of "vacation cottages, ad far as I can tell", this one is quite straightforward. This is now the Oakwood Resort, but it was built by one of the predecessor groups to the UMC in 1893 as "Oakwood Park", campground and meeting center. After several denominational mergers it ended up with the Methodists in 1969, and the prior lodge on the property was replaced by the current hotel building in 1994. THe Methodists ended up selling the property in 2008, and so here we are with a posh resort. All that said, I don't see any great notability as a resort, and it's not a settlement, so I'm afraid it goes. Mangoe (talk) 01:07, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

- Weak keep or redirect to Gabon at the 1984 Summer Olympics#Athletics as an alternative to deletion if there’s consensus against keeping the article – Although most likely non-independent since it comes from the Gabonese Ministry of Women's Promotion, there appears to be significant coverage in this book (more than ~100 words). From what I can see through their limited previews, there appears to be an entire page dedicated to her, titled: "Gisèle ONGOLO, Reine des pistes Gabonaises" [Gisèle ONGOLO, Queen of the Gabonese tracks]. From the book, it says that in 1987, her best year, she won gold medals at the Central African Games in the 100m , 200m and 4 × 100m races. She was apparently part of a Moroccan club.[78] As of April 2015, she was the Vice-President of the "Executive Committee of the African Olympic Athletes Association" [79] Other than sports, she wrote a paper titled "Nature et typologie des conflits interafricain" [Nature and typology of inter-African conflicts] #1157; As of 13 October 2022, she was the director of human ressources for the General Directorate of Public Accounting and the Treasury of Gabon (Ministry of Budget and Public Accounts). [80] This is obviously not a strong keep vote but the above are indications that there might be more out there than what we can find online.

I appreciate Aviationwikiflight digging up some non-Olympic accomplishments and references for Ms. Ongollo, but I don't find any of it to be particularly notable and the references brought up appear to be WP:ROUTINE and/or WP:PRIMARY (though I am not 100% sure on the latter due to language barrier issues). A hatnote can be added to the redirect target to point to Ms. Ongollo's participation in the 1988 Olympics and I have no objection to redirecting to 1988 with a hatnote pointing to 1984. Having multiple suitable redirect targets is not a valid reason to choose neither and delete anyway, which also deletes the page history. Frank Anchor 13:19, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

To assume that such an accomplished woman who was considered the best overall athlete in the nation for several years would not have any further coverage, when we have not checked even a single newspaper in the history of her country, is ridiculous. She's clearly notable in Gabon and obviously would've received further coverage during her career. Deleting this is not an improvement to the encyclopedia.
