Non-notable biography with no coverage in independent sources that fails NAUTHOR. Most coverage is primary and awards do not arise to the significance of ANYBIO. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 14:23, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the Christianity.com article[1] appears to be an independent source. The site is owned by Salem Media Group. Jahaza (talk) 17:00, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NLIST, topic is not independently notable from the monastery, and any needed information could be merged to the primary Kilmacduagh monastery article. -Samoht27 (talk) 05:16, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not seeing a WP:GNG pass for this small Italian church. The article's only sources are a local tourism website and a history on the comune's website, which would be a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE. Didn't find anything else in my WP:BEFORE search, although if independent, secondary WP:SIGCOV is found please ping me. A BLAR was contested so seeking consensus for a redirect to Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Aosta or a similarly appropriate target. Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:19, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is an established convention - albeit a rather silly one IMO for many reasons, including that apart from anything else it doesn't follow the Italian convention - for names of Italian churches, which the present article follows. Ingratis (talk) 08:34, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In the case of this church, it should bear both names, since it is located in a region that is officially bilingual. Furthermore, it's worth noting that "San Pantaleone", just like "Saint Pantaléon" in French, is merely the name of the patron saint of the church — not the name of the church itself. --Simoncik84 (talk) 12:50, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Point 1 - no particular opinion. Point 2 - thanks for stating the obvious, which I'd agree with; you're more than welcome to argue about it with the supporters of the long-standing naming convention. Since the article seems unlikely to remain as a standalone, however, it scarcely matters. Ingratis (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not seeing a WP:GNG pass for this private school in Tennessee. Sources are:

I didn't find any other GNG-qualifying sources in my WP:BEFORE search. The page creator unilaterally removed maintenance tags for notability, promotional language and third-party sourcing without coming close to addressing the problems, so rather than edit-war over a tag, I am going to AfD as the next step. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:54, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Schools, Christianity, and Tennessee. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:54, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    While I acknowledge that many of the currently cited sources are affiliated with the school or its denomination, there are also independent, reliable local media sources covering Clarksville Christian School that demonstrate its notability. For example, Clarksville Now and The Leaf-Chronicle have reported on CCS’s accreditation milestones, scholarship achievements, and athletics, providing substantive coverage beyond routine directory listings or press releases. Additionally, local news outlets have covered CCS events and student accomplishments in a way that goes beyond trivial mention.
    I am actively working to incorporate these independent third-party sources into the article to strengthen its verifiability and comply with WP:GNG. I respectfully request additional time to improve the article with these reliable sources before any deletion actions are taken. GatewayPolitics (talk) 03:02, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Also you could have taken these concerns to my talk page before taking this step. GatewayPolitics (talk) 03:04, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    (You could also have taken your perspective to a talk page before unilaterally removing the maintenance tags on a page you created. Your removal of them is what prompted me to do a WP:BEFORE search that turned up no qualifying sources.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:18, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Those articles I saw in my BEFORE search; they all appear to be based on or just reprints of press releases from the school. I have not seen anything that constitutes WP:SIGCOV in an independent, reliable, and secondary source. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I hear what you’re saying about the sources, and I understand the importance of meeting WP:SIGCOV. That said, I think tagging or taking further steps without any prior discussion — especially when some effort was clearly made to include sources — feels a bit premature. A quick note on the talk page could’ve opened the door for collaboration rather than escalation. I’m still open to improving the sourcing if better material exists, but I think we should be careful not to rush into cleanup actions without first giving editors a chance to respond. GatewayPolitics (talk) 03:18, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Deletion discussions run 7 days so you have plenty of time. If you supply sources that pass the test of GNG, the page will be kept. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:19, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dclemens1971 I have cleaned it up. Any other things that need to be changed? GatewayPolitics (talk) 03:44, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I still don't see any sources that support notability. The Clarksville Now piece appears to be based on a pair of press releases from the school ([17], [18]) and the Leaf-Chronicle link is to a "subscribe" page. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:53, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, I changed it a bit more and I believe that the article is good and is notable enough. I will have to see other opinions, and will respect the outcome. GatewayPolitics (talk) 04:04, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I would say the Leaf-Chronicle article is independent WP:SIGCOV of the school but the Austin Peay State University piece isn't; it's focused on its alumnus Hassell and trivially mentions the school. That's one source toward GNG; remember, we need multiple GNG-qualifying sources. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify - the page creator has requested additional time to source the article, so it can be done in draft space and then submitted to Articles for Creation when it is ready. Stockhausenfan (talk) 08:55, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify - I support allowing the editor time and space to get this article in shape. — Maile (talk) 23:10, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify or Delete. This article is not sourced appropriately and is written in a promotional tone, but I can see the potential for keeping it in draft space to let the author have more time to build out sources. I found a couple of regional newspaper articles that *might* be enough, but it's a long shot and the author will need to do a lot of work to get it an appropriate level of sourcing to support notability. nf utvol (talk) 23:37, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article would be better off as simply a subheading of the Diplomatic agenda section of the main article, but merging it does not seem viable because it is simply not up to encyclopedic standards. The talk page reveals possible copyvio issues as well. It appears to be substantially the same as it was in 2009.

If this article is not to be deleted/merged, it would need to be completely rewritten by someone with subject expertise or at least competence. M.A.Spinn (talk) 20:03, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to lack WP:SIGCOV and has had WP:PROMO edits. In WP:BEFORE did not find reliable sources such that WP:GNG fails here. Iljhgtn (talk) 02:36, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep: The article doesn't seem to violate WP:PROMO as a whole, and it seems to have enough content and references to merit keeping it. The issue is there isn't much legitimate notability, a simple google search leads to less than 1 page of results. Ashwin060 (talk) 23:33, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Child of God (album). Despite charting, the song is not covered in reliable sources, thus failing WP:NSONG. UnregisteredBiohazard (what i dowhat did i do now?) 04:23, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
