Guide to deletion

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep‎. Looks like a consensus here to Keep this article. Hopefully, some of the sources brought into this discussion can find their way into the article (this doesn't always happen). Also, editors who review AFDs will inevitably keep running into each other, remember to be CIVIL and focus on assessing the article and its sources, not each other. There are editors on the project who are topic banned from participating in deletion-related discussions because of their conduct so it can and has been done in the past. We need editors with all viewpoints so please, chill and stop insulting each other. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:05, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Luxembourg–Australia relations

2 of the 3 sources are primary. Relations between these 2 countries is not subject to significant third party coverage. Fails GNG. LibStar (talk) 23:14, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

Keep – This clearly falls under WP:DINC. The subject is clearly notable, and significant third party coverage obviously exists, even if it is not being used. Using AfDs to get people to find sources for you instead of finding them yourself is distasteful. – Ike Lek (talk) 00:48, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
Please strike out your personal attack. LibStar (talk) 00:50, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
I have made no personal attack. I have criticized your conduct in abusing the XfD process. This AfD is an example of your abuse of the process to attempt to force cleanup on articles on clearly notable topics, and thus is relevant to content. Ike Lek (talk) 01:48, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
Your comments are simply a getback from our interaction in another AfD where you've made it clear you don't like me. LibStar (talk) 01:55, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
My feelings towards you are irrelevant. I frequently contest deletion of diplomatic-relations related articles. Your conduct is inappropriate and damaging to Wikipedia. Do not attempt to ascribe intent to my statements beyond what is explicitly stated. Ike Lek (talk) 02:04, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
"Your conduct is inappropriate and damaging to Wikipedia." is a personal attack. LibStar (talk) 02:05, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
That is about this AfD, which is made in poor practice. You cannot escape criticism for your actions by calling it personal attacks, especially when it is relevant to the discussion you posed. Ike Lek (talk) 02:09, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

If "sgnificant third party coverage obviously exists", please provide it. LibStar (talk) 00:54, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
You should not use AfDs to get other people to do the work you should have done in WP:BEFORE. I can provide suggestions on where to find sources if there is any legitimate concern as to their existance. Ike Lek (talk) 01:50, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
I have said " not subject to significant third party coverage" as a result of my searches. LibStar (talk) 01:55, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

WP:MUSTBESOURCES. LibStar (talk) 01:56, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
I do not believe you have conducted good faith searches. If anyone has legitimate concerns, I can point to where to find sources. Ike Lek (talk) 02:07, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
That is bad faith on your part. LibStar (talk) 02:07, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
Where are the sources you go on about? again you spend considerable time arguing in AfDs rather than finding sources to support your keep vote. LibStar (talk) 02:08, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
This is an actual personal attack. How I spend my time should be of no concern to you, and is frankly not any of your business to criticize. I am under no obligation to contribute in the ways you would like me to. Ike Lek (talk) 02:11, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

Draftify The article could get worked on before being reintroduced to the mainspace, and it also has the wrong title. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 18:43, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
What title would you suggest? Also, what issues do you believe warrant draftification? Ike Lek (talk) 22:38, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
The issue that warrants draftification, at present, is that there is only one secondary source in the whole article. TarnishedPath^talk 01:24, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
Are you volunteering to improve it? Because if not, draftifying it is just a slower delete, and nothing about the article warrants deletion. Ike Lek (talk) 03:11, 9 August 2025 (UTC)

@Ike Lek: It should be reversed and put into alphabetical order per international relations naming conventions (i.e. Australia–Luxembourg relations) KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 02:04, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
Makes sense, although to avoid confusion that should probably wait until the AfD is closed. That's a WikiProject Countries guideline if I'm remembering correctly, right? Good catch on that. Ike Lek (talk) 03:14, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
Note: Per the "wrong title" comment made above, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Australia–Luxembourg relations for a delete outcome of a seemingly different article in 2009. Fork99 (talk) 07:59, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
Keep per WP:GNG - Multiple reliable secondary sources found, demonstrating significant coverage of Australia-Luxembourg relations. BBC coverage of diplomatic meetings and agreements. Financial industry coverage of tax treaty negotiations (International Adviser, 2017). Business publication coverage of trade opportunities and EU-Australia FTA implications (Paperjam, 2023). Documentation of high-level diplomatic contacts over multiple years. Quality primary sources (eg, Financial Services Council Submission on the 2018/2019 Federal Budget) highlight the economic importance of a tax treaty with Luxembourg. The article meets WP:GNG with this sourcing, and the subject matter falls under WP:DINC I will attempt to improve the current version with these additional sources. I'm new here, please go easy on me if I make a mistake, I am just getting the hang of things. Uncountableinfinity (talk) 09:56, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

Keep - Clearly a notable article regarding diplomatic relations between the two countries. On a separate note, I think the article should be called Australia-Luxembourg relations as it would be in alphabetical order. Grounds for a WP:RM??? IJA (talk) 15:52, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Isn't moving to Australia-Luxembourg relations a no-brainer that anybody can do? That is, if the article is kept. Lova Falk (talk) 17:48, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

I believe so. I'm down to do it myself, but I'm waiting till the AfD closes to avoid creating confusion. Ike Lek (talk) 20:06, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Keep it's the next edition of an annual competition. At worst this is WP:TOOSOON. SportingFlyer T·C 09:57, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Keep – The 2026 AFC U-17 Asian Cup is an official upcoming tournament organised by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). It is notable under WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG as a continental competition that also serves as qualification for the 2026 FIFA U-17 World Cup. Previous and future editions (e.g. 2023, 2025) already have articles, so this page maintains consistency and encyclopedic coverage of AFC tournaments.Arman Shaquille Qio (talk) 14:02, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Keep Clearly notable, just has bad references. The Asian Football Confederation had announced the qualified teams last month, and just did the draw for the qualifiers, so not WP:TOOSOON in my opinion. Lâm (talk) 17:15, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Withdrawn - sloppy nom on my part. Epsilon.Prota ^talk 20:22, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

The result was merge‎ to List of Japanese supercentenarians#Biographies. I find some of the Keep arguments weak, in terms of P&G. The claim that "supercentenarians in general are notable" has no basis in P&G. A nomination lacking valid deletion rationale, possibly including one without a WP:BEFORE, may be subject to a Speedy Keep close, but not after a valid deletion rationale has been entered by another participant. This leaves us with a fairly clear consensus to merge, as a sensible ATD. Owen× ☎ 22:57, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Keep, this article does not fail WP:SIGCOV as stated above, as Hiroyasu was covered by a plethora of Japanese news sources across many years (all of which except one are specifically focused on her), in addition to the GRG and LongeviQuest sources. In addition to being the oldest living person in Japan, she was the eighth oldest living person in the world before her death. Therefore I believe that this article should be kept.

Keep per lack of a WP:BEFORE search was conducted in Japanese or that the nominator is competent enough in Japanese to do so. WP:OLDSUBJECT is not applicable -- the point is that their age makes them the subject of coverage/importance (as evidenced by press statement by the Ministry of Health when she died accompanied by national TV coverage, multiple examples of coverage in Taiwan ) DCsansei (talk) 23:21, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

Comment Of the 11 cited sources, 5 are WP:PRIMARY (GRG and Longeviquest), 4 are from before the date of her "notability" (becoming oldest Japanese person) and are essentially human interest/background filler and the remaining 2 report her death. Regardless of how many other reports of her death there are, she still fails WP:BIO1E and WP:NOPAGE and the current article content does not justify a stand-alone article. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 00:17, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Delete – Routine coverage of a recently deceased supercentenarian. Fails WP:GNG as the sources are mostly database entries (GRG, LQ) and brief local reports. Does not establish lasting encyclopedic notability beyond age verification.Arman Shaquille Qio (talk) 14:04, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Keep per the other keep voters there is national coverage of her and there seems to be a severe lack of background check on the coverage and depth of sources by the nominator and several of their arguments have seemingly been disproved (such as the claim that the coverage wasn't significant) in summary the subject DOES have significant coverage it IS lasting (the coverage goes back a few years) which strips the deletion argument to "well i dont think its notable" which is a opinion not a fact — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steven547 (talk • contribs) 22:44, 15 August 2025 (UTC) Blocked sockpuppet
Delete Nothing encyclopedic in her article. Thirty-fourth oldest and "oldest living person" for two months in any country does not create noteworthiness. Nothing about this particular supercentenarian's life is important enough for which she should merit a mini biography, let alone her own page. "Japanese person was born, lived a totally uneventful life and died at an advanced age." Simply looks like a supercentenarian fanboy decided to create another completely unnecessary article and has, upto now, been allowed to continue without the adequate pushback. There are tens of these articles that require AFDs and, hopefully, will soon have them and will also be deleted. MattSucci (talk) 05:23, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
all I hear from this argument is a lot of opinions you THINK its not notable you THINK it should be deleted no where in your message do you present an actual argument. Steven547 (talk) 18:27, 16 August 2025 (UTC)Blocked sockpuppet
Keep - passes based on significant coverage. We have a literal and mandatory WP:BLP1E that applies literally to living people, primarily because they are not necessarily famous, and we don't want to be sued by them; in today's nihilistic and litigious society we must be careful about defamation. The policy WP:BIO1E is different in that it's less about literally "one event" or "living" and more about fairness and legacy; for example, we don't want a failed pharmaceutical executive or corrupt school superintendent to be remembered for one stupid mistake. Even BIO1E discusses that reasons behind the policy difference. It's also discussed more explicitly in the essay WP:NOTBLP1E: "WP:BLP1E is a narrow policy that doesn't apply in most cases it's namedropped." The "1E rule" has three mandatory elements: (1) "sources cover the person only in the context of a single event" (several birthday parties and events are discussed in national sources in this article); (2) "that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual" (in this case, the attention she received was ongoing and bigger with each passing year); and (3) "the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented" (here, her age was her role, it was substantial, and well documented).

Delete well this is a throwback. The article has three sentences about Miyoko herself, which are utterly mundane details about her life (going to the University of Tokyo, getting married, and giving calligraphy lessons are... nice, but not notable), and the rest is the usual longevity-qua-contest dreckcruft.

Ephrat Livni

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

The article subject fails WP:BASIC and WP:CREATIVE as an artist, lawyer, and journalist. The sources given do not constitute significant coverage. Source 1 mentions a book she wrote, Between Epiphanies: A Sufi Adventure in Senegal, but I can't find any significant coverage of it. The rest of the sources either fail verification (no mention of her on the linked page) or appear to be routine coverage (an interview by StoryCorps, an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio that wasn't archived, a link to a court case where she acted as assistant public defender, an Avvo page for her work as an attorney).

She has recently gotten a position with the New York Times (see here: https://www.nytco.com/press/new-role-for-ephrat-livni/) and previously held a role on an NYT newsletter (see here: https://www.nytco.com/press/ephrat-livni-named-dealbook-reporter/), but those are just press releases mentioning her new positions. There's no coverage of her as a journalist showing that she passes WP:CREATIVE. Truthnope (talk) 22:46, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Artists, Journalism, Israel, and United States of America. Truthnope (talk) 22:46, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Comment: There are two possibly notable people who share this name: the artist and a NY Times reporter. It's going to take us more than four days to sort this out. Please be patient. Bearian (talk) 01:24, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

I don't think there are two Ephrat Livnis https://www.nytco.com/press/new-role-for-ephrat-livni/ bio states "Previously, Ephrat was a senior reporter at Quartz covering the Supreme Court. She began her career as an editorial assistant in Israel, taught English in Japan, worked as a French interpreter for asylum seekers in New York, conducted legal document reviews at Google in California, served in the Peace Corps in Senegal and was a public defender in Florida, among other adventures." --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:43, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

I had assumed the artist and the NYT reporter were the same person, as WomenArtistUpdates suggests. The NYT press release says that Livni served with the Peace Corps in Senegal, has an MA in Islamic studies from Columbia University, and worked as a public defender in Florida. The Wikipedia article cites this source (https://web.archive.org/web/20120317124931/http://africa.wisc.edu/peacecorps/registration_program_section4_writing.html) which has those same three details. It would be a remarkable coincidence for two people with the same name to lead such similar lives.

The press release also mentions that Livni wrote for Quartz and this Quartz article (https://qz.com/quartzy/1375679/portrait-of-the-street-artist-as-a-middle-aged-lady) describes Livni's art career. Confusingly, the article is attributed to Ephrat Livni twice, but given the article is written in the singular first person and almost every Livni article links to both accounts, I'm more inclined to assume that Quartz just mistakenly created two accounts for the same person.

I understand that AfDs take time and have no problem waiting, I just wanted to emphasize that I was unable to find reliable, independent significant coverage of Livni as an artist, lawyer, or journalist. The NYT press releases are not independent coverage. The only other thing I could find was this opinion piece (https://www.jns.org/evil-jewish-settlers/) that criticizes Livni's reporting for the NYT. Truthnope (talk) 02:57, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Delete. I double-checked the source assessment table by WomenArtistUpdates and it looks to be correct and well done in that none of these sources provide significant coverage. Some, like this party advertisement provide no coverage of this topic at all. My searches have found no better sources. I agree with Truthnope and WomenArtistUpdates that the peace corp worker and painter and public defender and more all appear to be the same person. Since there isn't significant coverage at all, I'm not sure it really matters if they are the same person or multiple people since there isn't enough coverage for any of these roles.

I added a brief review. It's not enough in itself. NLeeuw (talk) 08:48, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
The article claims All three volumes are maintained in a searchable database by the Finnish Literature Society and are continually updated., but the source for that claim is from 1993. According to Guide to Reference in Genealogy and Biography (2015), entry 1154, this book was indeed the first in a printed series, followed by Writers in Finland 1917–1944, and Writers in Finland 1945–1980. After that, the whole thing indeed went online as "Suomen kirjailijat -tietokanta" [Finnish Writers Database] at a subdomain of the Finnish Literature Society (SKS) home page at finlit.fi: finlit.fi/kirjasto/kirjailijamatrikkeli/. Unfortunately, it is a dead link now. However, https://web.archive.org/web/20101002145113/http://dbgw.finlit.fi/matr/haku.php seems to be an archived version of the same "Suomen kirjailijat -tietokanta" [Finnish Writers Database]. I'm not sure whether it has gone completely offline or still exists in some other form (link rot is an annoyingly common issue with online databases in general). Finnish literature in translation seems to cover a similar scope, although it is focused on literature rather than writers. If anyone can retrieve a currently live version of the SKS Finnish Writers Database, that would be brilliant.

In any case, a lot text in the article in the section Writers in Finland 1809–1916#Contents and scope is not that relevant, unless secondary sources wrote about it. An article must demonstrate the impact of a topic on society, not the work 'behind the scenes', until that itself has also attracted public attention in some way (e.g. the production process of a well-performing film).

If we cannot establish independent notability, I propose we merge the relevant texts from this article into Finnish Literature Society, and make this series and (apparently former) online datase into a separate section for now. NLeeuw (talk) 09:28, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
@Jähmefyysikko Would you be able to check whether that "Suomen kirjailijat -tietokanta" is still online somewhere? If it is, and frequently used, it might be a better idea to rename and rescope this article around that database as a whole, including the three printed books that formed its basis. Alternately, we might merge all relevant information into Finnish Literature Society. Cheers, NLeeuw (talk) 17:05, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
I looked for it in both languages, but did not find it anywhere. Mentioning this in the Finnish Literature Society article would likely be WP:UNDUE; it is only one of the many things they have published. However, based on my comment below, I think we can keep this as is. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 17:50, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

Keep – The Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple is notable as one of the major Hindu temples in South Korea and is affiliated with the international ISKCON movement. It receives coverage in reliable sources, reflecting the presence of Hinduism in Korea and the activities of the Indian diaspora. The article adds encyclopedic value under WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND, as it documents a significant cultural and religious institution outside India. It is also consistent with other articles on Hindu temples worldwide, maintaining coverage and neutrality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arman Shaquille Qio (talk • contribs) 14:05, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Poetry Records

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

Article was created in 2011 and recently nominated for A7 speedy deletion by Premeditated Chaos. Because of the article's tenure on Wikipedia, I thought it might be more valuable to bring to AfD. At present, the article looks to have two sources provided since creation, with one being primary. An English search hasn't provided me any sources, but Chinese sources may exist.

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Music and China. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 21:37, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
Delete. There is no carveout in A7 for age/tenure/whatever you want to call it, and the article makes no credible case for significance. Since we're here, obviously the sourcing doesn't bear out either. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:43, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Delete Although I'd readily change my vote if Chinese-language sources were dredged up, this does not appear to be a significant record label, either in the sense used at WP:MUSIC or in a GNG-type fashion (which, since this is not an artist-centric label, is perhaps likely to be the more important yardstick).

Delete – Per lack of WP:V. Svartner (talk) 03:47, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
Delete I think it was the right call to bring this to AfD instead of speedy deletion to allow for editors to search for Chinese-language sources about Poetry Records. The article's second reference links to http://harrisschool.uchicago.edu/alumni/profiles/Chuxiao.asp, which is archived here, which provides significant coverage about the company. However, this is not a sufficiently independent source because it is a Harris School of Public Policy alumni profile of Xiao Chu, the founder of Poetry Records. This archived copy of the company's website links to an "About Us" page and a "Press/Reviews" page, which indicates there could be significant coverage of the company. However, neither of those archived links work. I did searches for sources about Poetry Records and could not find significant coverage. I could not find a Chinese name for Poetry Records either. I support deletion per Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria. Cunard (talk) 08:31, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

Two others, https://risingnepaldaily.com/news/36788 and https://gorkhapatraonline.com/news/15694 are inaccessible, dead links. The rest are trivial mentions. Due to the coverage in that Ratopati source, there may be others, so there is a possibility that notability can be established, although the article in its current form doesn't.

I would recommend the nominator review what to do before an AfD as they have continued to use the (nearly) exact same rationale for almost every AfD they've started. RandomInfinity17 (talk - contributions) 18:27, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

I haven't yet assessed this article myself, but I'll vote in a separate comment once I have. Just wanted to say that XYZ has nominated many articles for deletion, of which the majority have been deleted. I believe they would already be familiar with WP:BEFORE. 11WB (talk) 19:48, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

While yes, many of their AfDs have been successful, its mostly because the nominated articles are about recent news events that have limited/contemporary sourcing and a consensus formed to delete. I bring up WP:BEFORE as the nominator doesn't show proof that they have followed the steps outlined in it; they just use the same rationale without any indication that they looked anything beyond the article being a "routine news event." I want them to prove that the articles they are nominated are actually not notable rather than point towards the same criteria over and over again. RandomInfinity17 (talk - contributions) 20:58, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

I am not sure that's appropriate at AfD per WP:READFIRST. We're encouraged to comment on the content not the editors participating. I have mistakenly breached this guideline a few times myself! XYZ has given their reason for the nomination, we've now got to assess the article ourselves and vote! according to our own reasons! 11WB (talk) 21:04, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Keep – meets the notability criteria, wide coverage (the article itself has nearly 30 sources); a major aviation incident in the Baltics and I think the first ever full hull loss of a civilian aircraft of such size in Lithuania: . Not a routine kind of news. --Mindaur (talk) 22:25, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Merge to Vilnius Airport. This is a random part of the airport's history that in no way warrants a separate article. There are no secondary sources to demonstrate notability or that this is anything more than a news story. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 23:51, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Delete per WP:NOTNEWS – Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. Although we certainly have continued coverage, none of these actually provide analytical coverage of the accident. They're simply regurgitating what investigations have said (e.g. "Prosecutors issued a press release Wednesday, saying, '[...]'"; The Ministry of Justice clarified that [...] - The report indicates that [...]; "'[...]' the Prosecutor General’s Office said in a statement on Wednesday." Speedy keep votes fail to explain what part of WP:SKCRIT is failed (which is to say, none). The type of aircraft involved, the country involved, or the number of fatalities do not correlate to notability. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents (e.g. cargo plane crashes) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 21:40, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
I agree there is no basis for a speedy keep. Also agree that the location and other specifics are not relevant to establishing notability. In regards to EVENTCRIT#4, I feel a large percentage of the aviation accident and incident articles that are on the project could be flagged under that currently. I feel that, whilst it is an advice page only, WP:AIRCRASH is more applicable here. Specifically, 'Accidents or incidents should only be included in aircraft articles if: The accident was fatal to humans; or The accident involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport; or The accident or incident resulted in changes to procedures, regulations or processes affecting airports, airlines or the aircraft industry. This accident meets the first and second criteria, which is why I opted for keeping the article, along with the other reasoning I gave below! 11WB (talk) 22:42, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
@11wallisb: As I've said above, WP:AIRCRASH, an essay, states that: This essay includes generally accepted criteria for when to add mention of aircraft accidents to articles about airports, airlines and aircraft type articles. Because this is an essay and not policy and also because it should not be applied to stand-alone accident articles, it is recommended that it not be cited at Articles for Deletion discussions for either keeping or deleting. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 14:16, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
I am aware of that. It doesn't take precedence over any actual notability guidelines. They are specific to aviation accidents however and as I said two of these criteria are met. Along with the accident being generally notable anyway. 11WB (talk) 17:57, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
Keep: This is definitely an interesting accident. There is extensive coverage, with a 30-page report from the Transport Accident And Incident Investigation Division of the Ministry of Justice (Lithuania) that analyses the accident in substantial detail. I don't think there is enough to warrant a speedy keep and the references are pretty much all contemporary news reports. The accident is notable though, so I think this quantifies a keep, even if it's weak. 11WB (talk) 22:21, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
"...with a 30-page report from the Transport Accident And Incident Investigation Division of the Ministry of Justice (Lithuania) that analyses the accident in substantial detail." But isn't that the point accident investigative agencies, to analyse the accidents that they're investigating? "...and the references are pretty much all contemporary news reports." But that falls afoul of WP:NOTNEWS which states that Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports [as] Wikipedia does not constitute a primary source. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 22:34, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Some of these accidents, dependant on country, may not even have a report in the end. Or only a short one. Credit should be given to the Lithuanian MoJ for actually conducting a full investigation on a flight that wasn't commercial. 11WB (talk) 22:46, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
@Aviationwikiflight, a recent example of my point above would be here. 28 fatalities on a scheduled passenger flight but no investigation conducted by the Department of Civil Aviation (Myanmar). Yet for Swiftair 5960, a cargo flight with 1 fatality, we get a 30-page detailed report. 11WB (talk) 22:53, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
I haven't taken year into account here, but considering Myanmar's Civil Authority was formed several decades before the accident, you would think there would be something put out about it, right? 11WB (talk) 22:57, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

I don't think it's fair to compare a 1970s aviation accident in Myanmar, which at the time was a dictatorship described as an "isolated hermit kingdom and one of the least developed countries in the world", to a 2020s aviation accident that occurred in Lithuania, a developed country which has a functioning democracy. We judge each accident based on its individual merit, not based on whether or not "X accident" got an investigation. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 23:01, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Fair enough. Specific nation's history really isn't something I have any knowledge of. I was looking at this from a very numbers-focused point of view. 11WB (talk) 23:05, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Apart from the UK, I should add - and a few other exceptions. I have no knowledge of Myanmar or Lithuania's history at all. 11WB (talk) 23:08, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

I'm confused. Are you saying that this accident is in part notable because it has a (lengthy) preliminary/interim report? Aviationwikiflight (talk) 22:56, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
I think I'm saying that there is more information for a Wikipedia article on a specific accident to use if there is a longer, detailed report - like in 5960's case here. 11WB (talk) 22:59, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
@Aviationwikiflight, I chose a pretty terrible example to try to make my point. I apologise for that! I realise I'm basically trying to justify comparing apples to oranges, and so my point, whilst not a fully incorrect observation in many cases, really doesn't matter here. 11WB (talk) 23:13, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Comment: As the article creator, I created this under the belief that the subject was notable. If perhaps I've missed that all of the sources are indeed press releases or paid, then I have no objection to deletion, but I do not believe this is the case. This from NME, for example, doesn't appear to be paid. This from the same article doesn't appear to be either. Furthermore, the Daily Star, which indicates its press releases such as this one, don't have the same on this, nor this (the former falls short on WP:INTERVIEW by virtue of not having much detail to it but the latter has significantly more biographical content included). Neither is there any indication of this from Envi Media being paid. I also can't currently access the source from the Dhaka Tribune, but to the best of my memory it's not paid or a press release. In terms of ones outside of the article, I have this from ICE Media, which seems to mark its promoted content - something not indicated in the source provided. If you know something more about these sources from Bangladesh and why they may not be reliable, as you may do, then please let me know. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 16:58, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
Although none of the sources explicitly state that they are paid or sponsored, many of them read in a highly promotional tone and even include links to the artist’s YouTube music video. It seems unusual that a debut song/EP/music video would receive this level of media coverage without having chart success or a significant number of views on YouTube or other platforms. This raises concerns about whether the coverage is truly independent and meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for music topics. Rht bd (talk) 12:01, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Aside from the ICE Media one that is linked here and not in the article, only one of the sources are about a debut, with the rest being about further work. With the other parts of this claim hinging on the tone being "highly promotional" (which I don't believe is the case) and that they sometimes link the actual song/video they're writing about (not unusual), I'm not convinced these are all somehow paid-for promo. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 12:23, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

It’s what is quoted every time one of these debates comes up. I disagree. I think notability is established with the popularity or history of a name, but the standard argument seems to be that three or more Wikipedia articles about a person with the given name establishes it as notable. Note that people add links to articles about people with a given name as they have interest and time. There are more people named Mael than I had time to list and there are probably more articles about people named Maelys. There's probably an argument for separating names according to the diacritic marks since they have different patterns of use, but they are spelled the same way in English.

Other than the style guide you dismissed, not really. The WikiProject is still active, but it's in need of some work. There's a lot of common practices that are accepted, but still need to be actually written down and discussed. A lot of it comes down to WP:NLIST when it gets into the nitty-gritty of why name articles are usually kept, which I'm guessing is where the rule of thumb Bookworm857158367 mentioned comes from. It's certainly a pretty commonly used standard among the project. Ike Lek (talk) 05:37, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Based on prior discussions, name articles should generally include a definition of a name, its origins, history of usage, and a list of articles about people and fictional characters with a particular given name. These names have been quite well used in France in the past few decades. The articles can be edited and improved upon. There is no reason to delete them, particularly when they are identical in format to dozens or hundreds of others. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 06:07, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Nothing of this is supported by community-wide consensus. WP:GNG is, and all articles must meet it. This article does not. Sandstein 09:20, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Community-wide consensus would seem to indicated by what has been a long-standing practice for dozens or hundreds of name lists/articles that follow exactly the same format. I would also remind you of WP:IAR. Exactly how would deleting these articles improve the encyclopedia? Bookworm857158367 (talk) 19:58, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

A better argument to keep in my opinion is that a name article only needs to meet WP:GNG or WP:NLIST. But I do also agree that there is just no good reason to get rid of them anyway. Ike Lek (talk) 21:03, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
WP:NLIST is the standard used for most of these articles. Both of these meet the standard.

Bookworm857158367 (talk) 23:12, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
NLIST says "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". Where exactly has the set of people with this name been the subject of such coverage? Sandstein 17:29, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
Like you said, "One accepted reason". There are others, including lists that serve navigational purposes. Ike Lek (talk) 18:31, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
Keep per WP:NNAME and the argument put forward by bookworm. IJA (talk) 16:11, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Lack of notability. The sole source of any substance is a review in a local paper from nearly twenty years ago. If there was any serious claim to notability there would be more and more recent stuff. TheLongTone (talk) 12:59, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

Keep I am the original article creator. Passes WP:GNG. This was a local music act in Seattle which recorded 3 albums between 2006-2012 and a single track in 2020. Most of their media coverage is around 2008 and I do not see media reviews for the 2020 release. By GNG / WP:42 we need multiple sources, and we have

These sources have decades of stability for music reviews, and these are reviews and not just mentions of performance. This is just what a record of an artist collective looks like; they make art for a few years then disappear. Bluerasberry (talk) 13:15, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

So, two links to a single review in a local paper, and a website of dubious reliability. You will have to do a great deal better than that to convince me.TheLongTone (talk) 13:26, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

Delete: I can only find Bandcamp, Facebook other other social media or streaming sites. The sources presented aren't quite enough to show notability either. Oaktree b (talk) 13:53, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

I corrected one, but we have The Seattle Times, The Stranger, and a Seattle music review site https://www.nadamucho.com/about/faqs/ which was started in 1997 and still operates today. Is the shortcoming the source publications, the depth of coverage, a need for even more of the same, or ? Bluerasberry (talk) 14:36, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

I have a 2024 source in which the band reunited to play at a venue where they were remembered to play in 2005-6. While this is not significant coverage in itself, it is third-party reliable source journalism about the history of music in the area, and this journalist did see fit to name drop them in a way that expects readers to recognize who they are. The nominator wanted more recent stuff and this is a contemporary published memory of their music from 20 years ago.

Delete - This is a close call and the article's creator gets credit for a good faith effort to find sources. The band came close but just couldn't get beyond a couple of local articles. The 2008 article in Seattle Times certainly helps, and the 2008 interview in the Strangler has some useful info, but otherwise they only have brief mentions in relation to other bands or the venues where they played. They never got beyond Seattle and that city's music media, and per criterion #7 at WP:NMUSIC there is no evidence that they are particularly accomplished or influential in that city. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:54, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
Comment I got another review.

Bluerasberry (talk) 23:56, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

@Doomsdayer520: Okay I did some more research and while it is not Seattle, I found a source which made the claim that this band was some of the best musicians ever to come out of Bellingham, Washington. Bellingham is near Seattle, which is where they usually performed. I also added another review which is from a newspaper and as in-depth as the other ones. Does being the best in Bellingham tip the decision? Bluerasberry (talk) 00:32, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Kudos for all your efforts here, but I don't think this one helps much because it can all be considered the same regional scene. No dispute if others disagree with that particular issue, but the band remains low on reliable sources regardless. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:01, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

AI experiment I am not adding this AI discussion to this AfD discussion directly. I use AI all the time for that reason, I got curious about what contemporary AI would say about this article. This is my first time doing AI examination for a Wikipedia AfD discussion. I copy/pasted the text into Google Gemini. Do not consider this as part of the deletion discussion, but check this out if you want to see the state of technology in AI. Personally, I find this analysis satisfactory.

evaluate this draft Wikipedia for notability, and predict whether Wikipedia editors would pass or fail it in a deletion discussion - (text of article including citations posted here) Let's evaluate the notability of "A Gun That Shoots Knives" based on the provided draft Wikipedia article and predict its outcome in a deletion discussion. Assessment of Notability (WP:BAND and WP:GNG) The core of Wikipedia notability for musical groups relies on WP:BAND (specific criteria for musical groups) and the overarching WP:GNG (General Notability Guideline). WP:GNG requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Here's how the provided references stack up: Reference 1: Zwickel, Jonathan (October 10, 2008). "Music & nightlife; Seattle band A Gun That Shoots Knives takes fun seriously". The Seattle Times. Reliability: The Seattle Times is a major, reliable newspaper. Independence: Independent of the band. Significance: This sounds like dedicated coverage of the band, likely meeting "significant coverage." It's a feature article. STRONG evidence of notability. Reference 2: Barr, Brian J. (February 12, 2007). "Weeknight Warriors". Seattle Weekly. Reliability: Seattle Weekly is a respected alternative newsweekly. Independence: Independent of the band. Significance: The description ("dressed in clothing which required bravery to wear, and then playing jokey music which confuses the audience") suggests a review or significant mention of their performance. This is likely significant coverage. Reference 3: Moorman, Trent (January 10, 2008). "The Making of Love". The Stranger. Reliability: The Stranger is another prominent Seattle alternative weekly. Independence: Independent of the band. Significance: An "interviewer" reported on their tours and extensive costume collection. This indicates a dedicated interview/feature, thus significant coverage. Reference 4: Whiting, Corinne (April 19, 2024). "Cheers to 90 years: How Seattle's Blue Moon keeps rising". Seattle Refined. Reliability: Seattle Refined appears to be a local lifestyle/news site. It's likely reliable for local event coverage. Independence: Independent. Significance: Mentions the band playing at an anniversary event, including past performances. While this provides some recent activity, it's likely a passing mention in the context of the venue's history, rather than significant coverage of the band itself. It supports their existence and local presence but doesn't strongly contribute to GNG on its own. Reference 5: Richardson, P. W. (January 30, 2008). "A Gun That Shoots Knives, the Kids in the Hall of post-millennial techno-synth guitar rock". nadamucho.com. Reliability: "nadamucho.com" is less immediately identifiable as a highly reliable source like the others. Its reliability for WP:GNG would need closer scrutiny. Is it a well-known music critic site, a blog, or something else? Assuming it's a credible music review site, it still points to dedicated coverage. Independence: Appears independent. Significance: The title suggests a dedicated review or profile, indicating significant coverage, assuming the source's reliability. *Reference 6: Cole, Brent (June 2017). "11 Questions: Kelly Sorbel". whatsup-magazine.com.* Bellingham, Washington. Reliability: "whatsup-magazine.com" (a local music magazine in Bellingham) is likely reliable for local music news. Independence: Independent. Significance: This is an interview with a band member, where the band is mentioned as having members from Bellingham and their music being "some of the best to ever come from there." While it confirms local impact and recognition, it's an interview with one member, and the significance of the band's coverage needs to be carefully assessed. It leans more towards a passing mention/local recognition rather than deep, significant coverage of the band as a whole. Prediction for Deletion Discussion Based on the provided sources, I predict that Wikipedia editors would likely PASS this article and keep it, although it might be a close call for some editors. Here's why: Strong Core Sources (References 1, 2, 3): The articles from The Seattle Times, Seattle Weekly, and The Stranger are all from major, independent, reliable publications that appear to provide significant coverage of the band. These three sources alone likely meet WP:GNG's requirements for multiple, independent, reliable sources with significant coverage. The Seattle Times article is particularly strong, as a major newspaper feature. The reviews/interviews in Seattle Weekly and The Stranger further solidify this. Evidence of Sustained Attention: The articles span from 2007-2008 for initial coverage, with a brief mention in 2024 (though less significant). This indicates that they weren't just a flash in the pan but received attention over a period. Specific Notability Criteria for Bands (WP:BAND): While not explicitly stated if they released albums on major labels or toured internationally, the consistent significant coverage in prominent regional media (Seattle) about their performances, tours, and unique style strongly points towards meeting points like: "Has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works from independent reliable sources." (Met by 1, 2, 3) "Has had a professionally released recording that has charted on a national or at least a major regional sales or airplay chart." (Not explicitly shown, but the GNG is often sufficient on its own). "Has performed at a notable venue or tour." (Implied by "4 concert tours" and reviews of performances in Seattle's major alt-weeklies). Potential Weaknesses/Arguments for Deletion (and how they're addressed): "Local Only" Argument: Some editors might argue that the coverage is primarily local to Seattle. However, The Seattle Times is a major regional newspaper, and Seattle Weekly and The Stranger are highly influential alt-weeklies with a broad readership, often seen as sufficient for notability for regional acts, especially given the depth of coverage. "Lack of National Coverage": While national coverage strengthens a case, it's not strictly required if the regional coverage is truly significant and from reliable sources. "Source 4 and 6 are weaker": While true, they are supplementary. The notability case rests firmly on References 1, 2, and 3. Conclusion: The draft provides compelling evidence of notability through multiple, independent, reliable sources providing significant coverage. The descriptions of the articles (feature, review, interview) strongly suggest that the coverage is "non-trivial." Therefore, it's highly probable that this article would be kept in a deletion discussion. can you convert your above response into Wikipedia's markup text so that I can copy /paste it into Wikipedia?

Merge to The Boring Company#Hawthorne test tunnel.

merge to The Boring Company#Hawthorne_test_tunnel with considerable trimming. This article is way overblown with too much minutia too carefully documented. They made a test hole; it has some technical stuff which might be of some interest. Then they were done, and they went on to other more substantial projects, or maybe they didn't; it really doesn't matter.

Keep – The subject is notable as the first completed tunnel project of The Boring Company, widely covered in significant, independent, and reliable sources including CNN Business, The Verge, The Guardian, Vox, and CBS News. It represents a milestone in the development of tunnel-based transportation systems and is repeatedly cited in discussions of the company's later projects, such as the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop. This easily passes WP:GNG and is encyclopedically valuable as part of documenting the history of infrastructure projects by Elon Musk’s companies.

These are all independent articles and not press releases 75.30.104.197 (talk) 00:07, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

KEEP' Clear Notability & Credible Independent Coverage

Wikipedia requires that articles be backed by significant coverage from reliable, independent sources—not just press releases or self-published materials. "The Boulder Group" meets this bar:

The company publishes quarterly net lease research reports that are cited by reputable real estate publications like GlobeSt and REjournals, showing independent interest in their content Wikipedia +1 REJournals .

Industry analytics firms Real Capital Analytics and CoStar have ranked it among the top single-tenant retail transaction companies nationwide, covering periods from 2010 to 2024 Wikipedia +1 .

Multiple external news outlets (via AB Newswire) report on significant property transactions facilitated by the firm:

Sale of a Chipotle property in Georgia ($1.5 million) in early 2025 Wedbush Investors .

Sale of a CrossAmerica Partners C-Store & gas station in Florida ($3.45 million) also in early 2025 FinancialContent .

Sale of a Starbucks in DFW ($2.7 million) in September 2024 FinancialContent .

Sale of an Outback Steakhouse property in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area ($3.4 million) in September 2024 Wedbush Investors .

All these are verifiable, independent mentions—definitely not fluff.

KEEP Meets Wikipedia Notability Guidelines for Organizations

Per Wikipedia’s Notability Guidelines for Organizations, a company qualifies for a standalone page if it has:

Significant coverage from reliable, independent sources.

Substantial impact or achievements, such as notable rankings or industry leadership.

This entry ticks both boxes. It’s not totally obscure or a vanity page. The deletion notice itself signals that the article is up for discussion—but it’s not a foregone conclusion that it should be deleted — Note: An editor has expressed a concern that editors have been canvassed to this discussion.

Reliable, Verifiable Coverage

The Boulder Group’s research reports and market commentary are regularly cited by respected real estate media outlets such as GlobeSt and REJournals, reflecting independent, third-party coverage. News articles and trade press also document the firm’s major transactions, market forecasts, and executive analysis, demonstrating significant coverage from sources independent of the company itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:249:8080:4DF0:D5AF:170A:4F8C:4865 (talk) 00:55, 15 August 2025 (UTC) — Note: An editor has expressed a concern that 2601:249:8080:4DF0:D5AF:170A:4F8C:4865 (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion. — 2601:249:8080:4DF0:D5AF:170A:4F8C:4865 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Rowing at the 2025 Junior Pan American Games – Men's coxless pair

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

This is a level of detail we do not need for a regional junior sports competition. This should not be conflated with senior events, possibly not with world junior events either, though pages of the latter type have also been deleted in the past. Here at the 2025 Junior Pan American Games, the competitors are not notable and the competition not prestigious, resulting in a lack of in-depth reporting on the event to justify such detailed lists. Keeping "as part of a series" is not a valid argument either; I'm nominating all of the rowing lists from these particular games.

Hi, I understand the reasons for nominating those articles for deletion. If others agree, I agree with their deletion. I would include the detailed results in the same page for Rowing for the 2025 Games. I wonder why only the rowing ones though, I've created similar articles for the results of over events from other disciplines, should they be up for deletion too?. JuliánLeiva66 (talk) 01:17, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Now that I think about it, the other articles that i've created for individual events from other discipline should also be up for deletion, it really is unnecessary to create them when I can just add the detailed results in the same pages for each discipline at the Games.

Functionally identical to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ismail Khan Lodi last October: this is a genealogical article on a non-notable figure (see WP:NOTGENEALOGY).

No additional sources were located to suggest notability.

I'm not really sure how any company is meant to build a page without routine business coverage? Dylan909 (talk) 20:57, 11 August 2025 (UTC)
Companies are not entitled to "build a page" on Wikipedia. Most companies do not meet Wikipedia's special notability criteria for businesses, and articles about companies are not controlled by the companies themselves but rather serve as a neutral summary of what has been written about them.

The result was delete‎. I am not aware of any RfC where consensus was to confer automatic notability to mayors of cities above a certain population size. Ignoring socks, I see a rough consensus here that even if we accept the Indian media coverage as reliable in this case, as DesiMoore and Bearian suggested, SIGCOV is still not met.

Weak Keep - subject meets WP:GNG. According to the RS Noticeboard, the Telegraph is reputable. Times of India should be used with caution, especially for entertainment news. However, this is non-trivial coverage of a politician, so I think it can pass. In addition, Durgapur is one of West Bengal's largest cities, so she qualifies as a major local political figure WP:NPOL.--DesiMoore (talk) 16:08, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
Keep Being the mayor of a huge city would suggest notability. I searched her name in google news, and there is plenty of media coverage to also suggest notability. Additionally, she is the first female mayor of Durgapur, which is another reason why she is notable. IJA (talk) 16:22, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Keep for the reasons stated by DesiMoore. As I've noted elsewhere on AfD, the Indian media is, similarly to the New York Post, not reliable for films, sports, and similar pop culture content (pay to play is rampant), but ironically can be used for "hard news" like government, crimes, and social issues.

Keep I have a conflict of interest, so I will not edit the article directly. However, I would like to point out several independent, reliable secondary sources that may have been overlooked and could help establish notability per WP:GNG:

Independent coverage:

Inside Precision Medicine – Coverage of Zellkraftwerk acquisition and expansion into multi-omics (2019)
Entrepreneur Quarterly – Background on acquisition and BioGenerator support (2020)
Yahoo Finance – Summary of Bruker acquisition and strategic fit

Published research using the company's ChipCytometry technology:

Jarosch et al., 2021. "Multiplexed imaging and automated signal quantification in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues by ChipCytometry.". – Demonstrates multiplexed protein detection and signal quantification in human FFPE tissues.
Jarosch et al., 2022. "ChipCytometry for multiplexed detection of protein and mRNA markers on human FFPE tissue samples.". – Describes a combined mRNA and protein detection workflow using ChipCytometry.
Carstensen et al., 2021. "Quantitative analysis of endotoxin-induced inflammation in human subjects using ChipCytometry.". – Applies ChipCytometry to clinical samples to measure inflammation-related immune responses.
Schupp et al. 2021. "In-Depth Immune-Oncology Studies of the Tumor Microenvironment in a Humanized Melanoma Mouse Model." – Uses ChipCytometry to profile immune cells in humanized tumor models.
Jarosch et al. 2023. "Multimodal immune cell phenotyping in GI biopsies reveals microbiome-related T cell modulations in human GvHD." – Combines ChipCytometry with scRNA-seq to phenotype human GI biopsies from clinical cohorts.

Keep - The independent sources provided above (especially the 4th) by the editor with a WP:COI seem adequately non-trivial. AFAIK, the Yahoo piece has information not available in other articles with independence issues. WP:SUSTAINED (as the policy notes) does not mean that a short burst of reliable secondary sources cannot establish permanent notability. Sam0fc (talk) 06:44, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
Redirect to Bruker as per WP:ATD. The topic of this article is the company, not their products, 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. We have a number of sources above and one flaw in the reasoning above is that the editor is focussed on whether the source is an "indepdendent, realiable secondary source" but does not appear to have considered the *content* of the articles, and whether it meets the criteria for "independent content". Similarly, the "published research" needs to provide in-depth independent content about the *company* but instead appears to showcase the novel step involved in their technology. Notability is not inherited - if the company is notable then we expect to find sources that meet the criteria for notability - that is, articles that discuss the company. I've provided an analysis below:

Created with templates {{NCORPcheck table}} and {{NCORPcheck}}
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor.
Source	Independent Content?	In-depth?	Overall establishes notability per NCORP
"Why fast-growing Canopy Biosciences isn't your typical biotech startup — by design". St. Louise Business Journal. 2022-08-03. Retrieved 2025-08-03.	It relies entirely on information provided in an interview with a Sr. VP and their CEO. There is no "independent content" whatsoever and reads like an advertorial.
"Canopy Biosciences Expands into 'Multi-Omics' Company with Zellkraftwerk Acquisition". St. Louise Business Journal. 2022-08-03. Retrieved 2025-08-03.	This (and lots of other sources) simple regurgitates this PR announcement of the same day.
"Canopy Biosciences Acquired by Bruker After 4 Years As BioGenerator Incubated Startup". St. Louise Business Journal. 2022-08-03. Retrieved 2025-08-03.	Like the earlier source, this one (as well as lots of others) regurgitates earlier announcements from connected parties about the acquisition, such as this and this. No independent content.
"Bruker's Buyout of Canopy Biosciences Enhances Portfolio". St. Louise Business Journal. 2022-08-03. Retrieved 2025-08-03.	From Zack's Equity Research but fails ORGIND for the same reasons as others which primarily repeat announcements. If this was a research report from Zack's, an analyst might have provided some context for the acquisition but here, statements such as the acquisition will "enable Bruker to enhance its own portfolio" and the global presence "will be beneficial for both the companies" only repeats the PR and is not Zack's independent content.

As mentioned earlier, none of the "published research" provides in-depth independent content about the company. None of the sources meet GNG/NCORP criteria. HighKing⁺⁺ 14:52, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

List of shows considered as Peak TV

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

This is functionally a list of semi-arbitrarily selected "best TV shows of the 2000s" which is impossibly subjective. Linked shows appear to fairly rarely be referred to as "peak TV", so there's a very subjective interpretation of when to add here. Without a clear justification for inclusion/exclusion, this is becoming just a wall of links. The concept of peak TV is clearly notable and a useful article to have, but this list does not seem notable useful to most readers in this form and is an excessive amount of detail that isn't benefiting the project and will be near-impossible to bring to standards.

Delete Obscenely broad and poorly defined, an essentially indiscriminate list. The Golden Age of Television (2000s–2023) is already a very long and weakly defined concept, and it is entirely unhelpful to have a list of over 600 shows that have been on TV in the last three decades. This has no useful purpose. This main article is welcome to be expanded with more examples of the most significant prestige shows by placing them in appropriate context, but hundreds of bullet points does not assist in navigation or understanding. The inclusion of a selection of shows dating back to the 70s and 80s makes it even less clear what the point of this is. Reywas92^Talk 04:28, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
Delete first of all, I don't think the name is even appropriate. "Peak" is colloquial slang. Second of all, as mentioned, WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Just about any news agency can publish an article saying X trending show is the best thing on TV - this article has a rather low bar for entry. jolielover♥talk 10:14, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
- Apologies - apparently "peak" is a legitimate word. I still don't think this article should exist; its article subject should be covered in List of television shows considered the best. Dividing each era into lists like this makes WP:INDISCRIMINATE more and more relevant.jolielover♥talk 02:55, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Delete. Like mentioned before, this is a very subjective, indiscriminate list. The standards for inclusion on this list also confuses me--for example, 13 Reasons Why is included on this list but neither citation focuses on the quality of, or the critical reception to the show. The first citation is an article about one of the writers of 13 Reasons Why, it is not about the show itself. The second citation very briefly mentions the show in a long list of shows coming out at the time. Overall, I agree that most of this information would be better suited for the Golden Age of Television (2000s-2023) page. death pact (again) 19:22, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Keep and overhaul for restructuring. The article has definitely gotten bloated with low standards for criteria (including the intrusion of an IP range with even littler experience in this regard), since I haven't done moderation in the last few months. However, I don't think the article and subject matter are entirely bad. There are some solid sources listing shows that deserve to be recognized as examples from the Peak TV era, and we could establish an arbitrary criteria and cut out the (giant) fat to make it clearer. If the worth in a listicle of these examples is still too little, I'm willing to hear why.

As for Espngeek's editing, as this user is the most prominent in the article's history, I have mixed feelings about their efforts. It's dedicated but the edits are indeed just link dumping and obsessive searching for "examples" without really reviewing whether or not these sources are good. Plus when links do get added they end up as almost bare links, including only the source title and publication. Espngeek's white flag support for deletion indicates a lack of experience and confidence with sources as well. It's a shame the article ended up this way. Carlinal (talk) 21:05, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

"Obsessive searching" and "dedicated" are a perfect way to describe my edits although I question both the "just link dumping" and "lack of experience and confidence with sources" Espngeek (talk) 16:53, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

Keep with major restructuring per above, the article should exist although it definitely needs higher standards to not be indiscriminate. Prefer a potential draftify to enable restructuring as an alternative to potential deletion. Happily888 (talk) 00:03, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

No, this whole concept is too vague. It's basically "TV has been good for the last 25 years, here's our favorites". The main article is welcome to have more prose or well-organized sections that describe examples of prestige dramas or long-running comedies or streaming's successes or whatever with the best sources, but it should not be a standalone list.

Conan the Barbarian: The Official Story of the Film

I find this sort of geek-focused book hard to evaluate because of the sourcing, but outside of Starburst, most sources seem unreliable or like marketing blurbs rather than reviews. I do not think there are 2 good reviews. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:12, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Comment: The Empire source looks to be an actual book review, based on what I can see via this preview. As far as I know, they're considered to be a reliable source. I did a rundown of the reviews in the AfD talk page and honestly, I'm pretty surprised by them. Most have been repeatedly cited in academic/scholarly sources, so the bulk are likely usable.

I guess that is fine then. The problem I have is that the unreliable geek-focused sources and the reliable ones look very similar, haha. I can withdraw this. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:48, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Robot Commando

In a search (proquest/archive.org/google books/google/newspapers.com), I found blogs, sales listings, and a library catalog, and no sigcov, besides one alright piece from VICE , not enough for WP:NBOOK. The early volumes in this series were notable but many of the later ones seem to have no sigcov, and unlike others this does not seem to have inspired outside adaptions. It is used as an example with no sigcov in a textbook. Redirect to List of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks? PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:01, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Merge to List of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks or even Steve Jackson (or am I confused about Steve_Jackson_(American_game_designer)#The_two_"Steve_Jacksons")? I also rapidly found the Vice piece. I also found brief notes in these two books. Too insigifnicant for an article but still some verifiable research that can be merged. Archrogue (talk) 15:10, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
Redirect to the list page. I think that would be slightly better, as Jackson did a few different games and this would help make it a bit clearer that it's a FF gamebook. It might also help fend off people who would assume it's the other Steve Jackson and try to redirect to the other author. I'm not certain if they would try, but it's not an impossibility. I'm not opposed to a redirect to the author either, though. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 19:31, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

Joshua Little (footballer)

Although there is a cricketer with the same name, several searches using several different combinations of descriptors brought up no WP:SIGCOV. The only meaningful sources cited in the article, too, are from his club's website (WP:LOCAL). This is possibly a WP:TOOSOON, but given the league in which he plays, I don't see much potential for notability. Anwegmann (talk) 00:35, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Delete. After conducting a thorough BEFORE search, I am able to find references which was only about database or primary or routine coverage but not sufficient to meet general notability guidelines or demonstrate significant coverage.
