An early career researcher who doesn't meet WP:NACADEMIC. Has some research output through their early training; good for their career stage, but with H-factor of 6 is a long way from demonstrating impact.

- Thank you for raising this issue @Klbrain - I'd like to counter that while this early career researcher may not meet WP:NACADEMIC they certainly meet WP:BIO criteria as they have several secondary sources (Fox News, Post and Courier, The College Today, PittWire) that are independent secondary sources that are reliable, describing their scientific contributions. An additional note is that there are other researchers with similar h-indexes with wikipedia pages. Baseballandbrews (talk) 23:04, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- The news coverage was about Folds of Honor, with Frederico being used as an example of a studentship recipient; so, not the primary topic, so insufficient for establishing notability. However, I'll let other express their views. Klbrain (talk) 23:26, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Taking the article to AFD since a PROD was contested. I won't sugarcoat this; the primary (if not sole) reason Debbie even got any publicity at all is for family affiliations, namely being Eminem's mom. Being related to him or anyone else doesn't by itself entitle someone to a Wikipedia page as WP:BIOFAMILY notes. When there's little to no indication the subject was noted for anything of her own merits, I'm sure this fails WP:BIO, especially when lots of the sources that do mention Ms. Nelson (aside from obituaries) are more centered on her son. Yes, I know he often has often brought up his mother's name within songs (and faced controversy for it), but that's not enough to warrant a separate page either. It seems all the details on her worth nothing are already in articles for those tracks and/or Em's main bio anyway. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:52, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Let's ignore the fact that she's recently died; all sources from before this event (going back years) are all passing mentions in articles about Eminem. Had she not died, she wouldn't get an article. There is nothing showing notability for her, she had a non-notable career. I can't see that she passes AUTHOR, the books she wrote have their own articles. There is perhaps an article about her relationship with her son, for which we have lots of coverage. Notability would be more about the relationship, not the individual. Oaktree b (talk) 23:34, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Insufficient third-party coverage i.e. not meeting notability requirements. The page has four third-party sources. Of these, one only mentions Collective a single time in passing, another is an opinion piece (see WP:RSOPINION) and another is the World Socialist Web Site, of which there is no consensus regarding its reliability. The other is a Greek source with unknown reliability and unlisted status on WP:RSPS. Helper201 (talk) 20:38, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

- I was expecting a wildly different subject from the title and the nomination. Nonetheless, I had a look around. The first stop is all of what has been taken out of the article since its creation. It seems that editors have been wielding the sword of verifiability well. The sources originally cited were either entirely speculative things from 2024 that made zero factual claims, or sources about a different political party, currently with one person (they say) where those sources seem to have obtained their information about this political party from that one person, who claims that xe is being supported by some unspecified entity named this. The Greek source is based entirely in turn upon these speculative sources, and looking at the purported WWW page of this purported organization and assuming that what it reads on the WWW is true.
But it gets worse than the false sourcing. As one editor observed, the original article had a fake address for this supposed organization. (It turns out that Progressive House is not any building in London that I can find, but rather progressive house.) I also observe that there were hyperbolic claims to membership figures unsupported by any source and assertions of facts not stated anywhere, not even on the dubious WWW page.
There are a couple of unreliable personal WWW sites to be found, but ironically the thing to observe about them is that they talk of a shadowy organization, that they found was incorrectly registered at Companies House, taking their money and then saying that they are not to be let into "secret" meetings, and of Jeremy Corbyn denying being involved in new political parties at all in a TV interview. (Just for fun, I looked up the Companies House listing. The corporate address is a place that rents out office rooms by the day. So the personal WWW sites seem to have a point.)
I'm half suspecting at this point that this is a wholesale con and that a Wikipedia article is part of it. We can do something about the latter, at least. It is unverifiable from any source, reliable or no, that this is a real thing at all. And the unreliable sources want to know where all this supposed money is going.

- I'm using a source from an expert in English language socio-linguistic history who explains that parades are actually railway and seafront things, and shopping is incidental.

- I'm sorry. Are you literally accusing me of inventing the terms "shopping parade" and "parade of shops"? When between the two terms there are already approaching a couple of hundred uses on Wikipedia with only a tiny handful of them being near railways or seafronts?

- Keep Why the nominator thinks there's nothing to say on the subject is beyond me and looks like a clear failure of wp:before. Multiple reliable sources on the subject are part of the stub, thus passing wp:N - and at least one of the sources goes into the history, making it subject to the wp:WORDISSUBJECT exception for the notadictionary policy. The idea that "the term would be understood by the majority of readers" would have a whole lot of pages eliminated (like strip mall) and is nothing more than wp:IDONTLIKEIT; the deletion standards are far higher than "the majority" while the fact that one of the contributors thinks it should be merged with strip mall demonstrates conclusively that even among Wikipedians participating in this AfD not everyone understands what a parade of shops is. Neonchameleon (talk) 20:49, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. Did any of the chorus of deletes do a WP:BEFORE on this topic? It's patently false that "there is nothing to say".
- The Historic England source already in the article is a thorough assessment of the history and architecture of shopping parades: [1]
- The "Parade of Shops" source (again, already in the article) provides excellent, thorough coverage of the topic in the modern era.
- The London Assembly report "Cornered shops: London's small shops and the planning system" also offers SIGCOV of the topic from an urban planning perspective.
- Scholarly articles such as "Behind the Scenes: Participants and Processes in the Development of London’s Interwar Suburban Shopping Parades" and "Planning for Sustainability: Lessons from Studying Neighbourhood Shopping Areas" also offer SIGCOV of the topic in terms of architectural history and urban planning, respectively.
- Astaire (talk) 03:36, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, otherwise logically I couldn't have found and pointed to an source from an expert at the University of Cambridge explaining that Historic England has got it wrong. The London Assembly report is a good example, in fact. It starts talking about "neighbourhood parades". As the expert explains, parades were railway (and also seafront) things in the U.K. that evolved into long social-activity streets, and shopping is incidental to the fact that people parade up and down them doing social stuff in general. Xe doesn't support shopping parades as distinct any more than xe supports all of the U.K.'s Station Parades as distinct singular concepts. Amusingly, your A&C source even told you that parades are social centres, had you but read its abstract, which is a bit ironic given what you are calling out other people for. You're clearly doing superficial research by mere title phrase matching. After all, if you had even got as far as reading the executive summary of the London Assembly report you would have seen it in reality cover corner shops (not unexpected given the title), shopping centres, supermarkets, and small businesses. Further on it goes into town and country planning in the United Kingdom under the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987. This is the usual oft-seen at AFD poor show of throwing title phrase matches into a discussion, accusing everyone else of not doing the work, without actually doing the work of reading the things that are matched. Uncle G (talk) 09:55, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
Yes, otherwise logically I couldn't have found and pointed to an source from an expert at the University of Cambridge explaining that Historic England has got it wrong.
You have shown no such thing, beyond vague gesturing at a source that in reality contradicts you. The Social Life of Words explicitly acknowledges that a "shopping parade" is a real phenomenon with a distinct definition.- "However, the young people on monkey parades also paraded along SHOPPING PARADES in the sense of ‘short urban or suburban stretches of shops’. The Oxford English Dictionary conflates both these senses under parade, n. 1 4.: ‘a public square or promenade; (also) a row of shops in a town, or the street on which they are situated’."
- "The reason parade developed the meaning ‘short suburban stretch of shops selling basic necessities’ was due to the building boom of the second half of the nineteenth century caused by the advent of rail travel."
The London Assembly report is a good example, in fact. It starts talking about "neighbourhood parades".
The report uses the term "shopping parade" more often than it does "neighbourhood parade", and in context "neighbourhood parades" is clearly a synonym for shopping parades, given that the report is entirely about retail shops.shopping is incidental to the fact that people parade up and down them doing social stuff in general. Xe doesn't support shopping parades as distinct
Again, see the two quotes above. This is a stunning misrepresentation of the source.Amusingly, your A&C source even told you that parades are social centres
Please do not selectively quote from the source when we can all read it. The article makes it clear that the primary function of shopping parades is shopping, not socializing.- "Thousands of shopping parades were built on suburban high roads and in estates, providing the residents of these new communities not just with a local place to shop for their daily (or more major needs) but also offering a center for local activities and interactions, both informal and formal."
- "Interwar suburban shopping parades remain today in their thousands, providing a highly visible material record of a time and place where changes in retailing, in consumption and in investment practices gave birth to new retail environments and transformed the street scene. In an era of mass consumerism that facilitated shopping for pleasure as well as daily needs, these smart and welcoming new buildings were a characteristic element of many people’s everyday environment."

- Keep If there are entire books about the history, architecture and sociology of shopping parades I don't think we can brush them off with a quick WP:NOTDICTIONARY; indeed, on that basis, we would have tens of thousands of articles defining everyday things which fell into that category. Yes, the article is a stub; yes, it can and should be improved, but AfD is not for that. At the very least, I think the material could be merged into Shopping center.

- Keep: Convinced by the sources offered by "keep" !voters above that this topic meets WP:GNG on both sourcing and the test of a standalone page.

- Delete: The list of sources is longer than the text of the article. This is a padded DICDEF. Oaktree b (talk) 23:37, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Looking at the sources listed in the AFD, though, it could be expanded a lot (look at the Historic England source specifically, and the paper about interwar shopping parades) -- article notability is not based on the current content of articles at all (yes, it's currently a DICDEF) but what they could be, which based on the sources now available is a different thing altogether. Mrfoogles (talk) 02:34, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: The paper seems like a good source at first, but then it says this: "Within existing policy and research on neighbourhood parades there is a common ambiguity of terms and definitions. The available research makes reference, interchangeably, to ‘neighbourhood retailing’, ‘local shops’, ‘small shops’, ‘local centres’, ‘convenience retailing’, ‘parades of shops’, ’secondary retailing’, and other typologies"
- So I don't know if this supports this having its own article.
- https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/london-assembly-publications/cornered-shops-londons-small-shops-and additionally just uses the term while discussing local retailing. I think that these sources could be used for an article for local shopping, definitely, though.
- Looking at https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/20507828.2017.1399760, though, presents a stronger argument for shopping parades as their own phenomenon. And https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/iha-shopping-parades/heag116-shopping-parades-iha is additionally a strong source describing shopping parades specifically.
- Overall, I'm voting keep given that there are two sources describing these things in detail now. The opposing argument is centered around the sources given being wrong, which I don't see, or stating that they are a social phenomenon, which wouldn't disqualify them from being an thing worth talking about.

Notrhing notable about this chunk of real estate apart from the link to Epstein; WP:NOTINHERITED. I'd redirect to the dead criminal, but I don't think there's a mention. TheLongTone (talk) 16:19, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Strong keep -- WP:GNG requires that multiple reliable sources cover a topic in detail, and the sources on this article clearly show that this is true. Whether they should devote so much attention to such a topic is something that can be debated, but they clearly do, so it passes the Wikipedia notability criteria, which require it to be possible to write a well-cited article on it -- as has been done. Additionally, I'm pretty some of the articles discuss why he chose New Mexico. Mrfoogles (talk) 17:22, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

- That's not what NOTINHERITED means. It doesn't mean anything notable for being connected with something else can't be notable, it means they don't get that without their own coverage.

WP:COATRACK for RuPaul's Drag Race trivia and miscellania. No idea what "recurring challenges" have to do with "filming" or an article about the production in general, and why e.g. the unsourced "The recurring "She-mail" (a play on "Tyra-Mail" on America's Next Top Model) segment was discontinued." is included (or why the play on "she-male" isn't mentioned).
We have "Members wear "modesty cups" in their underwear to hide the silhouettes of genitalia." or "Willam was disqualified for violating rules while taping season 4" or "RuPaul's outfits are often inspired by the episode's main challenge or popular culture." or "RuPaul ends episodes by saying, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?" The phrase was inspired by his mother." as if they somehow create a narrative and tell us something about the "Production" of the show.
If the production of the show warrants a separate article, it would be best to WP:TNT it and start from scratch, not from this hotchpotch of, well, whatever it is. It's probably quite telling that nothing in the lead is about the production of the show, and nothing in the lead is repeated in the body either. Fram (talk) 15:50, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

- Selective merge This has some decent information, but I'm confused why it's on a separate page. RuPaul's Drag Race should just have a production section with much of this content that isn't already duplicative (who the judges are, that "reading" and Snatch Game are recurring challenges, etc), obvious (does it really need to be pointed out that contestants must follow rules or that Ru helps select lip-sync songs?) or overly wordy/detailed (Sentences each naming non-notable crew members, one of many creative Emmys received). As a reader who sometimes watches this show, I'd want to learn about this organized with related context on the main page rather than pushed into an overlapping subarticle. No other such production pages exist for reality shows (Production of Sense8 appearing to be the only one for TV but obviously with much more content), and prose length does not warrant a split here. Reywas92Talk 17:18, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Clearly a notable topic. Article is not a COATRACK and nom doesn't say anything about secondary coverage. I also strongly agree with comment re: merge to parent article; I'd argue the opposite, that RuPaul's Drag Race is long enough to justify moving content over to the Production page. All of these sections need to be expanded, but I couldn't even be afforded 24 hours from page creation to work on expansion before being summoned to AfD. Conception and development? More to say. Casting? Emmy noms. Music? Way more to say: Lucian Piane, Leland, Freddy Scott, etc. Directing? Emmy noms. Host? Emmy noms/wins. Choreo? More to say: Candis Cayne, Jamal Sims, Emmy noms, etc. Make-up artistry? More to say: Mathu Andersen, Raven, Emmy noms, etc. Hair design? Delta Work, Emmy nom. Costuming? Zaldy, Emmy wins, etc. Overall, the series has received 70+ Emmy noms, many of which have to do with production. There's so much more content to add, what a shame editors are discussing an underdeveloped page which should be expanded via collaboration and not deleted. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:32, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- The show is a notable topic. This is inherently a subtopic of it, or a collection of several subtopics, not an independently notable topic, and should only be split when warranted. However, the main article is not too long to include more content. It's only 3551 words readable prose size, or about half of what WP:LENGTH recommends to justify a split – and most of the season summaries are formulaic repetition that just duplicate the judge and season tables as prose, and the international adaptations section can be trimmed since there's a whole article that covers this info. I somewhat disagree with nom in that much of this (but not all) is worth keeping, just not on a separate page.
- The most similar show (non-scripted, multiple seasons) at WP:FA is The Masked Singer (American TV series), which is a great example of how the main article can have a production section that includes thorough subsections for conception and development, casting, design, costumes, set, music, and filming, as well as all the same other sections. None of these need a separate page. At all. You can even put some prose on List of RuPaul's Drag Race contestants for casting and List of awards and nominations received by RuPaul's Drag Race for the Emmy noms (and the Accolades section that's just two sentences). There's a reason why other shows don't have separate production articles – it's relevant content that ought to be included for readers of the main article! It's so weird for all this content to be partitioned from the rest of the topic – do you want people to read your work or just hope they notice a see also link? And you'd ought to use WP:Summary style anyway, which would of course result in more duplication. Please don't give us "couldn't even be afforded 24 hours", you know perfectly well how to use draftspace – or just write in the underdeveloped main article that can use more relevant content ("expanded via collaboration") and split when actually needed. Reywas92Talk 03:25, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Like Reywas9 said, "a collection of several subtopics". If the costumes of the show are a topic which has received lots of attention which would overwhelm the main article, then an article specifically on the costumes may be warranted. An article on the awards and nominations already exists at List of awards and nominations received by RuPaul's Drag Race (but strangely is not categorized in the Category:RuPaul's Drag Race tree). But an article which lumps together costumes and subchallenges and competitor behaviour and random trivia like "The main challenge of the ninth season episode "Makeovers: Crew Better Work" tasked contestants with giving makeovers to members of the Drag Race film crew." (why is this specific challenge of one episode in one season worthy of a special mention here? No idea at all) is not workable or useful. Much of this belongs in the main article on the show, and should only be split off if and when a specific subtopic gets much more detailed and would overwhelm the main article. What we have here is not a specific subtopic though, but a bunch of subtopics under a generic title. Fram (talk) 09:15, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- We'll have to agree to disagree, I'm moving on. Happy editing, ---Another Believer (Talk) 13:34, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, this is completely a COATRACK. Aside from the article, I’m not sure that the production of Drag Race is a notable topic (this article certainly isn’t evidence that it is), and beyond that I’m very skeptical that the topic wouldn’t be better served as covered on the article for the show. Selective merge. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 14:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep Clearly notable as the production specifically has received its own coverage. This show must have consumed at least 500 million US$dollars in production costs over the years - so coverage of the production is not surprising. Of the many possible keep arguments, a great one is that the production itself has won many awards, such at those at List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_RuPaul's_Drag_Race#Primetime_Emmy_Awards. Information about awards for hairstyling, picture editing, casting, and other production topics are not appropriate for typical articles about the content of the show because it is WP:UNDUE. While the articles about the content of the TV show are popular, only a small percentage of readers care about the production. Because there is so much production content from many sources, it makes sense for this to be its own article.
- Also, help streamline Wikipedia AfD discussions by increasing access to information about awards, by developing d:Wikidata:WikiProject Award! If the world had better access to data about all the awards ever granted, and which awards were more legitimate, and what exactly the awards mean, and how the recipient qualified for the award, then sorting out the notability of topics would be much easier. Consider editing Wikidata today! Bluerasberry (talk) 19:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Many TV shows have won many Emmys and Creative Emmys, and any TV show has many sources about production, but that does not mean the production or the awards won for that are their own separately notable topics, otherwise there'd have to be hundreds of articles about TV production. It's part of the main topic of the show as a whole. How is money spent (and a cable reality show doesn't cost over $2 million per episode) relevant? There can be a lot of content in any article that not everyone cares about, but why would you shove it in another page that maybe people find? E.g. I might not care much about hair and editing, but as a viewer I am interested in the set and challenges! WP:UNDUE is about maintaining a neutral point of view for competing viewpoints and not an issue here. Discussion of integral information about the show is not undue or unbalanced. The Masked Singer (American TV series) does a great job, was that inappropriate to give a FA star when it has whole sections on costumes and filming? The Crown (TV series)#Production won lots of awards and has lots of coverage specifically for production, but that's not basis to split the section even if I find the casting info trivial. Reywas92Talk 00:10, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- That a TV show has won awards for aspects of its production (as expressed in the final product of the TV show) does not at all suggest that the show’s production is an independently notable topic. This argument would allow for “Writing of [title]” for every multi-award-winning book. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 00:35, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- The reason it is notable is that journalists write about the production industry, generating many reliable sources to cite. It is extraordinarily notable because there is so much journalism and interest in this that there are multiple major awards for this field.
- I could be wrong about the US$500 million for ~400 episodes, but at the least, I do not think it is debatable that the low end of production costs must be at least $50 million. The production of the show is also interconnected with a RuPaul Drag Race industry and institution outside of television. Regardless, any money in the tens of millions is an indication of a complex production system which would attract documentation.
- The reason why WP:UNDUE applies is because typical readers expect the article about the show to be about the content of the show. If this production content where merged into the main article, then that would be surprising. Wikipedia does not lack space; if we have content on production and it is not appropriate to put it all in one article, then we have capacity for a new article.
- We could have articles on the production of books or anything else which gets awards, if of course we had citations. We have citations in this case, but for books and many other awards, we do not. Producing a show takes a crew of 100 to do anything, and almost all of that crew is connected to 100+ year old labor unions, connected to media reporting for nearly as long, and part of media industries in urban centers which churn out mass documentation.
- I see that The Masked Singer (American TV series) has a production section in the main article, and that is fine, and it passed WP:FA, so good example. It is also okay for other articles to do other things. In the Masked Singer, the production section has 70 citations and is enough content to be a stand-alone article, especially if there were enough sources and content to expand it. Wikipedia has a lot more content for RuPaul, as can be seen by comparing the 100s of articles in Category:RuPaul's Drag Race to the 15 articles in Category:The Masked Singer (American TV series). There is an order of magnitude more content for RuPaul, so again, it is not surprising that this is based on many more media sources about all facets of the show, and a much bigger, much more attention-grabbing production. Bluerasberry (talk) 15:28, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- I really don't understand how production information on a TV show's article would be surprising. It's part of the show and how it's covered. Many films and TV shows have sections on it. The Shining's production is far more notable than RPDR's in terms of secondary coverage, and that's still just a section of the film's article. @Reywas92's examples of The Crown and The Masked Singer are good, as would be Saturday Night Live, the most Emmy-awarded show in history, whose production is on the show's article, not a separate one. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 19:06, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Zanahary: The factors that make the difference are having enough content for a stand-alone article, having lots of citations to represent different perspectives and facts, and having so much content that merging it all into the main article would unbalance it.
- In the case of The Shining, it is already 12,000 words, so by WP:SIZERULE, the article "probably should be divided". If anyone wanted to add more good content to the production section of that article, or even if someone just felt like it right now due to the size, then we could summarize the production in that article and split it into its own article.
- Currently we have the Shining production section citing 50 sources, and Saturday Night Live citing 20, and the RuPaul production article cites 112. The trend and bias in Wikipedia is going to be for more media to be available for more recent sources. Saturday Night Live started in the 1970s and the Shining is from 1980, but Wikipedia is mostly citing recent digital sources about them. If we had access to contemporary paper other non-digitized media, then we might have longer production sections for those. With RuPaul's Drag Race, not only is it from a media age with a lot more documentation, but also the media is much more accessible now, and also the show itself is explicitly designed to attract media attention. There just will be more media content with more detail about some topics rather than others. Wikipedia is not a book that fills up. We have the space for any topic which passes WP:N. Bluerasberry (talk) 00:32, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- This article is way bigger than necessary because it’s filled with trivia relevant to the topic as well as coatracked content that doesn’t belong. This topic is not independently notable nor so extensive that it should be spun off of the main article. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 03:33, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Selective merge with RuPaul's Drag Race. I tend to be in agreement with User: Reywas92.

- @Duffbeerforme, unsure why you're bringing up sourcing when the issue brought forward is that he's simply not notable.
- The sourcing is good insofar as the sources say a cinematographer by this name has existed and worked on Cinerama.
- However, working on notable movies with notable producers does not make one notable. All of the 4 sources do mention him, but only one (which has become unavailable, that's a separate issue) is about him, which is necessary to establish notability. themoon@talk:~$ 10:27, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Duffbeerforme I am not finding a mention of Harry E. Squire in the first source (nor "Harry Squire" or "Squire", and the one "Harry" is someone else). I also want to note that Nicholas Cavaliere's article says that he was a cinematographer for the same film (not that one film cant have multiple). This [2] source seems to say the most about him and would be amazing but I don't think this counts as a valid source (please please prove me wrong) since it was produced by the company he worked at as promotional material. Moritoriko (talk) 03:57, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- IMO you're correct that this source is primary and can't be used to establish notability, but it could be used (and is used in the article currently) for WP:ABOUTSELF purposes were he notable. However, a WP:BEFORE search turned up nothing about him. I'll grant that contemporary internet sources are impossible, but a notable creative with a lasting legacy would continue to be mentionned today, and that has not happened. themoon@talk:~$ 12:53, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

The New York Times article appears to be about him "THE man behind the Cincrama camera, Harry Squire, is a stocky, gray-haired, ruddy-faced, bouncy Irishman in his sixties." and is still available [5].

- I mean, it's a common name, sure. That's why a search shouldn't be done with just someone's name, but also the subject they're relevant to. In this case, table tennis. And since this is a Peruvian player, one should be using Spanish, hence "tenis de mesa". Use that with just her regular name above, not even needing the full name, and you'll get plenty of news hits. Now, as for whether there's also coverage from her events back in the 90's, that's going to require a deeper dive into Spanish language sources. SilverserenC 21:27, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. The nomination is the same and my arguments are similar to those found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Petr Píšek. To sum up, this was a politically important individual during a politically important time, as stated by the sources. The subject ruled from a notable castle. He was an early patron of what is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. His portrayal in recent media is not irrelevant. This is a 600 year old figure, and there are undoubtedly undigitized sources or those I missed in my initial search. Mbdfar (talk) 12:27, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- I'm going to repeat myself, but WP:SIGCOV is missing, so I don't even need to write any more reasons. He is from a councilor family, not a noble family. "Politically important" is not in the cited sources. He did not rule from a notable castle, but he just owned rural fort in Ratboř, as [3] says. Among the donors of the Church of St. Barbara were many town's burghers, as the source says, so this does not make him notable either. FromCzech (talk) 13:01, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- That's not quite my understanding. I did not cite this work because I didn't want to incorrectly translate Latin or German, but Borový 1927 mentions the subject several times (see further reading, make sure to search for Latin name conjugations). My understanding is that the subject is much more than a simple church donor as you'd suggest, and that he was an important figure in the early days of St. Barbara's Church. See page 125 for example. I'd welcome your interpretation or translations. Mbdfar (talk) 20:36, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

- For the record, "politically important" comes from the cited source, where it states "Odreinové patřili k nejstarším radním rodům ve městě a svoje postavení si udrželi až do husitských válek". The phrase "councilor family" does not have any meaning. I read this as more akin to a patrician, similar to the cs:starý patriciát. I think my paraphrasing was apt, but please correct me if you still disagree and it can be rewritten in the article. And for what it's worth, the old castle in Ratboř seems notable, certainly notable enough to be a wartime target, and is now dedicated as a cultural monument (also interestingly it was later owned by other notable people such as cs:Bernard Mandelík and cs:Hubert von Czibulka, but I digress)[7] [8].
- That stuff doesn't really matter, but I also disagree that the sources are as trivial as you mention. I think further translation should be done to improve this article, but I do believe the number of times the subject appears in Čelakovský (1916), Vaněk (2011), and Borový (1927), supported by the other sources and context push the subject into notability. Mbdfar (talk) 01:04, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- I meant burgher family, if you don't like the term councilor family. Local political importance is not a carrier of notability, if there is no SIGCOV. The fortress in Ratboř was no different from the others in the area, so I don't know how you judge the notability. Its modern history is more remarkable. There were at least 19 such fortresses and castles in the vicinity of Kutná Hora, and due to their medieval origin, all of them are protected as cultural monuments. Because these are defensive structures, they were of course a target of attack during the wars. But even if Oderin owned Prague Castle, it wouldn't be enough on its own page without SIGCOV. The sources are not enough, as evidenced by the form of the page, which is just a collection of small fragments instead of a coherent biography or a description of some notable act he performed. FromCzech (talk) 14:22, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- Which is why I said that stuff doesn't really matter. But if you're going to keep bringing it up, I don't think burgher is a good description and the other fortresses are probably notable to.

Mbdfar (talk) 16:01, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- It does, however, add context. From my perspective, these facts, along with the lasting coverage over 600 years, indicate that the subject was more than a WP:MILL local politician. Mbdfar (talk) 23:25, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

"Politically important" is not in the cited sources. He did not rule from a notable castle, but he just owned rural fort in Ratboř, as [3] says. Among the donors of the Church of St. Barbara were many town's burghers, as the source says, so this does not make him notable either. FromCzech (talk) 13:01, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Non-notable nobleman with a biography that hundreds of Czech medieval lower nobles had. The sources used are only trivial mentions. FromCzech (talk) 07:19, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep, I wrote this article as I believe the subject is a politically notable figure from an important family. The subject held royal appointments and was the ruler of several notable castles/villages. The sources I've found are brief, yes, but are clear that this subject was notable during a politically and militarily unstable time in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The subject is 600 years old, and I presume there are many sources that are not digitized or I have missed on my search. I also do not want to discount the modern depiction of the subject (even a characterization) in the recent video game referenced in the article. While not proof of notability on its own, I do believe it supports the above assertions. Mbdfar (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 10:16, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- According to the content of the article, he was the equivalent of a local politician, and ruled only the villages of Perštejnec, Vysoká and co-ruled Suchdol. His family was only a wealthy bourgeois family, not a noble family. There is no article for him or his family on cswiki, which would be very unlikely if him or his family was important like you say. You need WP:SIGCOV to demonstrate his notability. With all due respect, it seems that the main motivation for the creation of the page is the appearance of the character in the video game based on him, not the merits of the real character. FromCzech (talk) 11:12, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- He ruled "only" three towns/castles. Respectfully, the cswiki has 7% of the articles that the enwiki does and is not a qualifier of subject notability. I learned about this historical figure through his portrayal in recent media, correct. My motivation for creating this page was improving Wikipedia's coverage of notable subjects found in this time and place. Mbdfar (talk) 11:30, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry, I should not have written that last sentence. Cswiki is of course not qualifier of subject notability, I wrote this just for comparison. The existence of SIGCOV is decisive. FromCzech (talk) 11:38, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

- I would like to note that I am the creator of this article - the nominator decided not to ping me perhaps because they didn't want my input. There are dozens of year articles for American elections, many of which are also off-year election years. They serve a mostly navigational purpose, as far as I can tell. I know the formatting isn't like the other year articles, but that is an issue which can be fixed with editing and not a fundamental flaw. I could understand if it was something like, I don't know, a couple of ward elections, but there were multiple gubernatorial races and a few House seats on this year. The mayoral list is also not complete -- there were more elections that year than are listed in the article. Billclinton1996 (talk) 21:22, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

That discussion had a series of votes with absolutely no basis in policy (including that the song is charting well despite being an introductory track, that the article's author put lots of effort into the article, that it's charting in Asia) and one vote claiming that it meets GNG, which was unsubstantiated and the article's sourcing (as well as a search online) shows is clearly not the case. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 00:10, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

- Where it charted doesn't have anything to do with the notability guidelines for a song.

Unlike Wiktionary, Wikipedia (English) does not generally include foreign-language words, and none of the article's citations is actually dispositive on the question whether—or even supportive of the idea that—this word has any currency in English:
- [10] is a news report that mentions what the German word is, and it reports the word as German, while also mentioning, by way of explanation, an equivalent British term.
- [11] only asserts that the German word was untranslatable (which is somewhat contradicted by the existence of the equivalent British expression).
- [12] does not mention the German word at all.
- The other, thrice-cited print source is German. (I do have the sneaking suspicion the article's creation might have had something to do with the publication of that book, but I have absolutely zero evidence for that hunch, nor have I even tried to search for any. If somebody wants to look into this – it's a thought. It may not be worth it though; IMHO there's already ample reason for deletion, and I generally hate Deletionism and tend to favour inclusion.)
Also, the German word is not in OED. A Wiktionary entry does exist, but it only recognises the word as German. Besides Wiktionary, I have not seen any English-language dictionaries that include this term. I have not looked very hard, but I have not been able to google any evidence this word is in any way a thing in English or in the English-speaking world. Multiple pages on cuckoldry already exist, as do several words for the children produced thereby, from the pejorative bastard to the fanciful love child – these besides the perhaps more British than American milkman's child. —ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 19:33, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

- I do wonder what people who create articles are thinking, sometimes. The concepts are cuckoldry and nonpaternity in English, with false paternity/paternity fraud being related ones. For some reason we have tacked on "event" and have nonpaternity at non-paternity event, although the formal literature on the subject (e.g. the Oxford Handbook of Infidelity or the Springer Genetics and Ethics in Global Perspective by Wertz and Fletcher or the HUP Fatherhood: Evolution and Human Paternal Behavior) generally goes for just nonpaternity and talks of "nonpaternity rates" and suchlike. Nonetheless, we have had this subject under (sort-of) the right name for 17 years and didn't need it restarting under a German name in 2023. Uncle G (talk) 02:45, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete Wow, this has been around unsourced since 2005! Most of the items on the list are just the buildings, not even the names of the non-notable restaurants. This is a pretty generic concept with no specific sources and the list is obviously quite incomplete. Revolving restaurant is certainly a notable and less ubiquitous concept, but there's not anything really distinguishing about a restaurant on the 50th floor vs. one on the 5th, just a view but I'm not sure what else to say about that. Reywas92Talk 02:11, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep I fail to see how a more ubiquitous thing is thereby less notable for purposes of inclusion in an encyclopædia. The more ubiquitous thing might be less exceptional, but we're not just covering the rare and unusual here. This is an encyclopædia, not Ripley's Believe It or Not. Also, if the category is not as commonly used, that would tend to support these things being less ubiquitous, wouldn't it? I tentatively concede that if tower restaurants are really quite as ubiquitous as you suggest (press X to doubt), then perhaps examples aren't notable just for being tower restaurants only, and thus perhaps there is no need to list just any and every unexceptional tower restaurant. But not every article has to have War and Peace vibes. Perhaps a simple article barely over stub-length might suffice. That's all fixable without article deletion though. Granted, fixing that might be boring, and the article might remain neglected for a long time, but that's also not a good reason for deletion. —ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 03:29, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- ReadOnlyAccount The overall question isn't if it's ubiquitous we should keep it. Something even more ubiquitous than tower restaurants may be red towers, but if sources don't describe "red tower" as a grouping, we don't write Red tower. Do you have RS showing "tower restaurant" exists a concept? I hope you do, and we can WP:HEY. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 03:52, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Upon just a tiny bit of cursory "research" (read: googling), it seems the related term "rooftop bar" is better established (these places often do serve food too, so there is significant overlap, and the differences are a matter of degrees, though not all of the former would be the latter and vice versa). I might have proposed merging with rooftop bar, except that doesn't exist, so shucks – or aw-shucks, even!

- Possibly even more shucksworthy might be the fact that a good part of such third-party coverage as tends to hang out near the top of google results appears to often refer to tower restaurants by the superlative-minded moniker/description "tallest restaurants (...in the world /clarkson)". Even though that may be the more common term for actual tower restaurants (not mere rooftop bars), I prefer the less common name on grounds of technical accuracy: It's not actually the restaurants that are yay tall. —ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 04:39, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- PS: This reddit post made me smile, because "high-rise restaurant" sounds as European as a continental breakfast – which latter, btw. is another perfect example for something that's very ubiquitous but also not exceptional, yet probably deserving of its own article.
- That's why the should be called "The highest restaurant in X" Moritoriko (talk) 04:44, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think rooftop bar really captures this concept. Take the example above of the "Eiffel Tower restaurant", it's not a bar, nor is it on a rooftop (imagine). Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 04:45, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, This is not an actual category as far as my searching found. It feels like 'Castle restaurants', is it a nice feature of some restaurants. A more extreme example is 'patio restaurants' because that's an actually established term. I think rooftop bar is a poor merge target as well because rooftop bars are generally open air which these are usually not. Moritoriko (talk) 04:52, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

- Thank you for taking the time to review the article. I would like to respectfully clarify a few points and highlight the efforts already made to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines (WP:GNG).
- I have invested significant time and effort researching and compiling information about Basu Gautam, and I understand the importance of maintaining Wikipedia’s standards. While it is true that some of the initial sources include self-authored content and a press release, these were added to provide context rather than to establish notability.
- However, I want to emphasize that my work did not stop there. I have actively sought and included additional sources, and I am in the process of further expanding the references with reliable, independent, secondary sources that offer significant coverage. These sources aim to address the notability concerns directly.
- I deeply value Wikipedia's commitment to neutrality and verifiability, and I am fully open to constructive suggestions for improvement. If you are aware of specific independent sources or ways to enhance the article's compliance with GNG, I welcome your input.
- Please note that I am committed to improving this article and ensuring it aligns with Wikipedia’s content policies. I kindly request time to make these updates, as I believe the subject has contributed in ways that merit encyclopedic recognition.Please revisit page again GlobalEmpathy (talk) 16:06, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- The AFD discussion isn't intended to evaluate whether the article is currently good enough -- just whether it is possible to find multiple independent reliable sources that significantly cover the article subject (whether they exist at all), regardless of the subject's importance. Essentially for the article to be kept it needs to be shown that there are reliable sources describing the subject in some detail, or that they can be assumed to exist (mostly the former). If you're planning to find better sources later you could also propose it be draftified (moved to Draft:Basu Gautam), where it can be worked on without having to be in the main article space.

- Ironically, The Guardian is just a pointer, had people only looked. There's a paragraph that can serve to expand the article in Watson 2022, p. 239 . There's other information, helpfully itself built from news coverage, in Wells 2022, pp. 148–149 . ISBN 9781509854257 p. 121 is a glancing mention, but is the sort of source that could be used for an introduction. (Unfortunately, the Alberto Lati book that has more is not, as Ediciones Plan B is a self-publishing outfit. For goodness' sakes, Alberto!) In Boniface 2018, p. 57 is found the fact that this was three teams in one club: men's, women's, and under 20s. I didn't look much further, because then I reached Rodríguez López & Estupiñán Osorio 2022 , which is over 40 pages on this subject and must be good for at least another paragraph, not least on the mixed reception to the idea.

- I don't like the relist comment as the sources are already in the article. The problem with this particular article is the club appears to be either a Colombian non-league team, or even a non league team in the sense they aren't even in a league. I'm not sure if that would mean they have to meet NCORP as an organisation or not? Still there is plenty of coverage, even if the article itself is a wee stub.

- The benefit is the diffusion of knowledge, same as any article on WP. That's our goal. Now, I'm not particularly interested in 19th century Irish pipers myself, but if just one person in the next 20 years is, this article is worthwhile. It's not a hoax, it's not a lie, it's not promotional, it's not taking up valuable disk space, so there's a good reason to keep it but no good reason to remove it. If we do remove it, the knowledge will still be out there in the book, just harder to find. Station1 (talk) 21:15, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

- We have exactly one source, which is indeed an on-point biography. But there appears to be no supporting sourcing available from anywhere else, at least that I can find; certainly none are being proffered in the article. The notability threshold that it is easy to exceed with truly notable historical figures is multiple sources. That way details can be cross-checked, and gaps can be filled. I am awash with search matches to things that contain lots of people named John, Moore, and Piper in some way. But all attempts to trim the noise in various ways have revealed nothing at all. Uncle G (talk) 11:22, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- The indication that he's notable come from the fact he had a biography written about him by a notable academic nearly twenty years after his death; the average musician that passes the GNG isn't going to get that. There's most likely going to be offline sourcing, but given how common the subject's name is... good luck finding it. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 11:53, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Weak delete. A single 400-word biographical summary (in a directory-style work seemingly covering almost every professional piper of the era) doesn't meet WP:SIGCOV. As with other contributors to this AfD, I can find no other substantial sources. (This piece on galwaysown.ie is a passing mention which seems to be based on either this Wikipedia article and/or the earlier O'Neill source. Book and journal searches only returns other versions of the 1913 O'Neill source). Per WP:NRV, notability is based on the verifiable existence of significant coverage in multiple independent sources - not merely that there might/could be other sources (that exist only in potentia...). If this were a modern professional musician, who was covered in 400 words in a single source, we wouldn't even be talking about it.... Guliolopez (talk) 12:31, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Besides being a "piper of good repute" we have nothing else that talks about this person. We don't even know most of their life, where they were born. Travelled on a boat, went home and died at sea, is about the extent of the article. Zero claim at notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:36, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

The article is based on personal imagination and appears to be original research. The concept of "Pan-Iranian colors" does not exist, and no academic sources support this idea. The sources cited in the article discuss only the modern and historical flags of the country of Iran, which have no connection to other groups considered Iranian due to their language.

- Delete unless an editor can furnish evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of Tohi. Persian BBC did discuss his music but evaluating whether or not that coverage was significant would require analysis by a Persian/Farsi speaker. I suspect that this was a brief introduction to playing a bit of his music. Since he now lives in Los Angeles, English coverage might be expected, but all I found was one highly promotional non-independent item obviously generated by a press release or public relations activity.

Insignificant 1-2 day WP:ROUTINE operations, one of thousands of non-notable military operations. Almost 20 years later, no WP:SIGCOV indicating a failure of WP:LASTING. Only coverage may be simple listings of the operations in directories or from sources published by the U.S. military that are not thus independent, and not qualifying WP:RS to establish WP:GNG.
