ARV Loshan Sports

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

A duplicate exists at Draft:ARV Loshan Sports already. I can't find any independent, reliable sources discussing ARV Loshan Sports and the article creator appears to have a strong COI. The YouTube channel has a reasonable subscriber count but it needs significant coverage from independent sources to be considered notable enough for Wikipedia. No evidence of a WP:GNG pass. I've reviewed the newly added references and none of them demonstrate notability. The 'example.com' reference doesn't even work. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 16:31, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dilovan Kovli

AfDs for this article:

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

Unsourced BLP and an autobiography. The previously deleted autobiography was about an Iraqi artist but this reincarnation has now put him down as a field commander in the Syrian civil war. I can see that Kovli has been added to Hêzên Komandos but this edit was made by a now-globally locked IP account, so is highly dubious. The only mentions of him online are Yahoo and NL Times, which are both image captions giving credit to the Wikipedia user Dilovan Kovli and making no mention of the field commander.

College Football Data Warehouse

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

Fails WP:GNG. Citations show no significant coverage of this defunct website. Reliable sources sometimes use the site's data: "According to the College Football Data Warehouse...". But I cannot find any sources that offer WP:SIGCOV of the website itself. PK-WIKI (talk) 21:05, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This was one of the largest and most reliable sources of statistical information on the history of college football (and it remains accessible through the Internet Archives). Major news outlets long relied on it as a "go to" source for historical information on the sport. E.g., Chicago Tribune (reviewing CFDW's findings on the use of interim head coaches), The Montgomery Advertiser (dscussing CFDW's use of the National Championship Foundation to reconstruct history and choose national champions); The New York Times, USA Today, The Philadelphia Inquirer. Cleveland Plain Dealer, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Vancouver Sun, The Orlando Sentinel. As set forth in the article, CFDW has also been widely cited in books on college football history and in scholarly journals. Further, a review at Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Reliable sources confirmed: "Not only has this website has proven time and again to be a reliable source of information, but it is maintained by an established expert on the topic and is relevant to the field." Given how widely cited the database is, it would do a disservice to Wikipedia to delete the information that has been developed about its background, its creators, and its unfortunate demise. Cbl62 (talk) 21:52, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Those citations provide barely any coverage of the website, let alone significant coverage.
These are the complete mentions of CFDW in those sources:
The only information that can be gleaned from any of those sources comes from the New York Times piece: that CFDW is a "website" and that David DeLassus is a proprietor.

WP:SIGCOV states "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.

These are all trivial mentions at best. PK-WIKI (talk) 04:41, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The sources provided by cbl62 appear to contain the necessary WP:SIGCOV of the website to meet the WP:GNG. Let'srun (talk) 03:56, 20 April 2025 (UTC) [reply]
Where are you seeing WP:SIGCOV in those sources? The citations only say that "College Football Data Warehouse" was used as a source for each article. They contain basically no details at all about CFDW itself. PK-WIKI (talk) 04:45, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

CFDW is a major information repository/resource. It has not only been cited regularly as a reliable source by major media outlets, scholarly journals, and books; it is also cited as a source in hundreds (thousands?) of Wikipedia articles and is recognized here as a reliable source. Deleting the article, which provides background information and context on the database, simply does not improve Wikipedia. I don't recall ever relying on WP:IAR in 18 years working on Wikipedia, but this is a case where it definitely applies: "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it." Cbl62 (talk) 10:01, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The fact that the subject has been widely cited in books on college football history and in scholarly journals, such as the Journal of Sports Economics, the Utah Law Review, the Tulsa Law Review, the Oklahoma Law Review, and Sports Law, is proof of notability. The points made by Cbl62, all of which are valid, also favor keeping the article. In addition, this article is a valuable source of information, which if lost would be detrimental to Wikipedia. Jeff in CA (talk) 10:03, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Projectify We have several keep votes already here, but PK-WIKI's central point remains unchallenged: there has been no substantial coverage of the College Football Data Warehouse itself to establish it as a notable subject. Its use as a source in books, newspapers, and journals and establishes it a reliable source (at least in the past), but not clearly as a notable subject. Compare, for example, with Baseball Reference, which was the subject of a 2015 article in Rolling Stone (here). We having nothing of that sort for CFDW. I also have my doubts that CFWD remains a quality tertiary source now that it is defunct and has not been updated in several years, and therefore does not reflect any of the error-checking and de-bugging against primary and secondary sources that we editors have performed here in editing Wikipedia in recent years. In the early to mid 2010s, I sent David DeLassus over 100 emails regarding errors I found on his website, and he made corrections accordingly. But that obviously stopped once the site went effectively defunct nearly a decade ago. To that point, I have been removing references to CFDW wherever they are redundant or can be replaced with other suitable sources. I plan to eventually remove all the references to CFDW, if possible. But given CFDW's history as a reliable source and frequent citation here on Wikipedia, I think this article should be preserved in some form. A WikiProject College football project page seems like the best fit. Jweiss11 (talk) 14:49, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with moving it to the internal Wikipedia:WikiProject College football space. That page would be far more useful than the current article, as we could discuss the history/authorship/reliability/sourcing issues you mention that are inappropriate for mainspace. PK-WIKI (talk) 16:50, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as incredibly widely cited media outlet. It’s well established that media doesn’t cover other media in the same way it covers the subjects themselves. WilsonP NYC (talk) 22:43, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WilsonP makes an incredibly good point. And very few media outlets have such a long history of being cited as a reliable source to the extent we see here with CFDW being cited in the most reputable newspapers in America in addition to books and academic journals. Cbl62 (talk) 05:40, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Response Among the Wikipedia articles on college football, for the past several years, mentions of and citations to CFDW have (for reasons not related to WP:GNG or WP:SIGCOV) been removed from articles and lists by:
- replacing, within a table, a column that relied on CFDW for inclusion criteria,
- deleting from another article the very same table that appears in this subject article,
- deleting a section about CFDW,
- (per a statement by one of the respected editors above) removing references to CFDW, with a mission to eventually remove all references to CFDW from Wikipedia.

For some of these removals, I began a discussion to object to and resolve the disagreements, and in the end, I relented based on good faith considerations. However, the pursuit to remove CFDW wherever it is mentioned is beginning to seem like a targeted effort to inflict upon CFDW a "death by a thousand cuts", and I am growing weary in general, not to mention becoming older by the day. And I mean no disrespect of any other editors.

Perhaps there is an effort to eradicate all mention of CFDW from Wikipedia; I don't know. I will predict that, if this article is moved to Wikiproject space, then in relatively short time, someone (in disregard of the level of project activity and collaboration it might receive) will say, "The project never really got off the ground," and nominate it for MFD. That could well be a nail in the coffin of CFDW on Wikipedia, and people will celebrate that Wikipedia policies prevailed and therefore that CFDW suffered a deserved fate.

Therefore, I agree with Cbl62 that, if ever there was a reason for implementing WP:IAR to keep an article, this is it. Jeff in CA (talk) 20:38, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As an answer to that, from my perspective CFDW was extremely over-represented (to the point of clearly violating WP:NPOV / WP:WEIGHT) in the articles you mention. This probably comes from being one of the top college football websites available in the years immediately following the founding of Wikipedia. I am rather critical of their opinion on "recognized national champions" (as are you?) and I believe per our evolved adherence to NPOV it was right to remove them from the Wikipedia articles you mention.

CFDW is/was perhaps a reliable source on records and statistical data (although I do have my doubts due to it being WP:SELFPUBLISHED). My issue with using it for this, though, is that the authors of CFDW do not cite any sources for their information. They were surely just drawing it from athletic department publications and newspaper clippings, which is exactly what we now do here at Wikipedia. This was obviously MUCH harder in the time of microfilm and the early days of the internet, so I commend them for their research. But today, in the age of Newspapers.com and other great archives of contemporary reporting, I would rather just mostly skip the step of citing a random self-published website that has been offline for a decade and that may contain forever-uncorrected errors.

I myself have absolutely no intention of deleting a CFDW page in the CFB wikiproject space. I would probably be one of the primary authors. I would have expanded the mainspace article, but unfortunately there appears to be zero significant coverage ever written about the website. If either of the authors are shown to be notable or published, I will consider writing an article on them. PK-WIKI (talk) 01:35, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't find Jeff in CA's suggestion that if we projectify the CFDW article, it will soon be MfD'd to be credible. We have lots of project pages that have been around for years, including several that I created (like Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Coaching trees, Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Official college football guides, Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Archived yearbooks, Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Media guide errors). I don't recall any of these every being MfD'd. If someone were to MfD a projectified CFWD article, you can count on my keep vote there. Jweiss11 (talk) 07:14, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On the assumption that this really is specifically germane to OOD, merge to Constructor (object-oriented programming), as I don't think you can say much about it out of that context. Mangoe (talk) 01:36, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Could you provide a valid independent source so there is at least a reference in the redirected article? We do not want unverifiable content in Wikipedia. Clenpr (talk) 09:47, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The definition is correct, and it's not specific to object-oriented programming - it's used generally when talking about dynamic memory allocation. A quick search for "allocation site" on Google Books finds 15 references using it in this sense in the first 20 results. However, I'm not sure there's enough to say about the concept for an article of its own. Pointer analysis could be a redirect target, although that's specifically about static analysis and it's also used in dynamic analysis (e.g. memory debugging). Adam Sampson (talk) 12:10, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge though I am not as savvy in programming itself, basing upon the definition stated in the article, a sensible move for me is to merge it to Object-oriented programming,as on its own as it is, seems not enough as a standalone, noted also by fellow wikipedians above for lack of RS to support it.Villkomoses (talk) 09:02, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Foresters House

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

Article about an office building, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for office buildings. As always, buildings are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage and analysis of their architectural, historical, social or cultural significance -- but this doesn't make any meaningful notability claim over and above existing, and is referenced almost entirely to primary sources that aren't support for notability. The only reliable source present here at all is an insurance industry trade magazine, which is here solely to tangentially verify the name of the company's CEO rather than supporting any information about the building in its own right.
Since it's the headquarters of a company that does have an article under WP:CORP terms, any information we need about its head office can easily be contained in the company's article -- but in order to qualify for its own standalone article as a separate topic from the company, it would need a much stronger notability claim, and much better sourcing for it, than this.

Keep Articles about designated heritage buildings is something that we should be expanding on Wikipedia. This is a prominent and very well-known building - you even see mention of it in fiction, such as [ short stories] by Austin Clarke. There has been coverage over the last half-century, such as this significant trade article when it was sold in 2022. There was national media coverage when it was constructed, such as in the Globe and Mail (ProQuest 1270450320). Even if the article isn't deemed worthy of inclusion, it's most certainly should be merged and/or redirected to Foresters Financial. Nfitz (talk) 23:38, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes, basically. WP:AUTO says If you really think that you can meet the inclusion criteria, and if you are willing to accept that your article must be neutral and non-promotional, then submit a draft to at Articles for Creation (AfC) instead of creating an article directly. AfC provides independent viewpoints that may uncover or discover biases you were unaware of, and shows you value volunteer editors' time. The thing is: this article did go through the AfC process (see here), making any argument for deletion irrelevant since policy explicitly states that autobiographies can be submitted and be approved through this process. jolielover♥talk 13:26, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The other two sources cited in the article are not independent. I checked WP:NPROF and I think the only criteria that might apply is #1, for citations. Her Google Scholar profile [8] gives an h-index of around 30, which I suggest is borderline; I do note that the article had explicitly been undraftified with this comment respectable h-index, may meet WP:NPROF.

Comment

Lists that are unsourced, single-sourced, or single primary sourced, existing as an exception to WP:NLIST which states, Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. 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, per the above guidelines; and other guidelines on appropriate stand-alone lists.. This sort of mirrors Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists.

Review: Any exception[s], if actually allowed by consensus (depending on the list), need to be one of three, for Information, navigation, or Development. I am not sure an unsourced or poorly sourced break-away list containing the names of living people qualifies. Consideration, of course, has to be the membership criteria.

While attempting to validate a list, policies and guidelines should probably at least be considered. Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists includes, "Citing sources": Stand-alone lists are subject to Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines for articles, including verifiability and citing sources.

Some editors may attempt to down-play the Notability guideline. The opening sentence states, "On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article." The actual opening paragraph states, Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. Wikipedia's concept of notability applies this basic standard to avoid indiscriminate inclusion of topics. Article and list topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice".

Wikipedia gauges notability and being "worthy of notice" by verifiability: All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists, and captions, must be verifiable. Additionally, four types of information must be accompanied by an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material. Please note #2 and #3:

direct quotations,
material whose verifiability has been challenged,
material whose verifiability is likely to be challenged, and
contentious material about living and recently deceased persons.

The note on numbers 2 and 3 is because any assumption of inherited or inherent notability is a fallacy. Alright, that's not the note, but true. Anyway, an article, or list, that remains published, either by silence on the subject, or even IAR, is subject to consensus and the fact that consensus can change.

The mention that other stuff exists is usually not a good thing to bring up at AFD. A good discussion for an exemption would be "valid splits from the main page (which would otherwise become way too long)." If a supposed parent article is not sourced or barely sourced, I am not open to considering a "valid split". I have ran across several of these. Articles like List of European Athletics Championships records has sources and also have many "splits" listed as details, which might be a consideration. There should be a link to the "main" article. Articles like European Running Championships with two sources counted as one and likely not advancing notability would not be a good candidate for consideration..

Summation: To claim exemption from notability or verifiability requires silence from other editors, IAR, that is dependent on consensus, and must consider the fact that consensus can change. Any silence ends when there is a challenge, so "likely to exist" becomes moot, and is satisfied by proof in the form of references, specifically inline citations. It would be better to supply a reference and the link to the main article to keep some editor from going on a crusade. It would be sad if the "history of the Commonwealth Games" were upset. -- Otr500 (talk) 08:52, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Firstly, I do not understand the argument that this is a list article. It is an article about a single event in the athletics section of a single competition in a single year. I suppose it "lists" the distances thrown by competitors but that is not really a list so much as a demonstration that this subject only has database listing evidence. No, the piece about Backley's throw does not show that the event is independently notable. The games are notable, but the single event is a spin-off of the games article. There is no clear reason why that is necessary. Wikipedia is a tertiary source, but it is not a results database, and that is all this page is. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:26, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Years ago, it was decided to spin-off the results as otherwise the main page would get way too long. If deleted, this would be, out of the thousands of events in its history, the sole Commonwealth Games event missing an article. That would be nonsensical.

Speaking only to the list classification, historically these articles have been classified by the community as lists due to the reasoning you point out; see Category:List-Class Athletics articles for hundreds of other examples. I only chose the first two newspapers.com results but there are many others about the event if you just search the names of the medalists in quotes. These javelin throws only happened once every four years and they were a very important and highly-discussed sports match, second only to the Olympics. --Habst (talk) 19:21, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The WP:NOLYMPIC position quoted above extends to other top-level championships including the Commonwealth Games. It is true that the Games as a whole have an over-arching level of notability as they are a major sporting event, but each individual competition within the Games is also notable in its own right. In practice, as BeanieFan11 rightly pointed out earlier, individual event articles are maintained as valid forks from the Games article for reasons that must include pagelength and readership convenience. Spartathenian (talk) 11:17, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
NOLYMPIC suitably makes the case that the Commonwealth Games would be notable, but there are 45 disciplines at the Commonwealth games, of which 26 are core disciplines. The relevant discipline for Men's Javelin is, in fact, Athletics (a core discipline). The Athletics discipline consists of nearly 70 events, of which the Men's javelin throw is just one. A page on the Commonwealth Games in any year it is held is certainly notable. That does not mean that for every Commonwealth Games we should also presume there are many hundreds of pages of notable events for every one of the 45 disciplines. There is clearly no such presumption intended nor implied. The only thing that matters would be secondary sources telling us about the 1998 men's javelin throw, discussing the event, and explaining why the event is enduringly notable. Such coverage would need to be WP:SUSTAINED, and not just primary reports of the results of the competition itself. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 12:09, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Sirfurboy, I understand your frustration but I think part of the reason these guidelines have worked so well is because nobody has been able to find a case disproving the rule yet, at least not for a javelin throw at the Commonwealth Games. In my search earlier I saw newspapers that do exactly what you describe about the 1998 Commonwealth javelin, I can't speak for every event but these ones at least were a big deal. Of course, another explanation is that these articles are classified as lists which can be treated differently w.r.t. notability per WP:NLIST. --Habst (talk) 19:29, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Were the guidelines suggesting that every single event spawns hundreds of pages, then the guidelines would not be working well. But the guidelines don't say that. This page is a spin-off. There is no evidence of independent notability. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:32, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Promo bio for a non-notable individual with no evidence of passing WP:NACADEMIC or WP:GNG. His h-index of 5 (from the Scopus page linked in the footnotes) is what might be expected from a postdoc or graduate student, not an associate professor, and signals the opposite of significantly impacted...academia, to quote the peacocking language used here. He meets none of the other NACADEMIC criteria. The sourcing (here and in a BEFORE search) does not support GNG either. It's limited to non-independent pages: his faculty profile, primary source bios ([10], [11], his own writings [12], [13] and a LinkedIn page. One source turns up a blank page and another is a random search box. The final tenuous claim of notability is an award as a lifetime member of the NZ Institute of Quantity Surveying, but this is unlikely to be a notable award since NZIQS appears non-notable, and it fails WP:V, since the only source is the aforementioned WP:USERGENERATED LinkedIn page and search queries on the NZIQS website turn up no results for life/lifetime members or for Ali's name.

Redirect to Wikimedian of the Year, not enough coverage to establish notability, fails WP:GNG. jolielover♥talk 06:47, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JackFromWisconsin: Did you look at the other two sources in the article? The three combined make up the GNG coverage, it's not just The Guardian. One is from a magazine, the other is a newspaper. The magazine gives the coverage outside of WP:BLP1E because they wrote the article this March. While they definitely bring up the point that I was awarded Wikimedian of the Year, the piece is not substantially about that, and goes into significant detail about my editing in general. It currently meets the threshold of Wikipedia:What BLP1E is not. The author was a journalist that happened to attend a meetup I went to this January with the intention of covering it for their magazine, and we had no interactions before that.
There's significant coverage of me in all three sources. They're reliable and they're all independent. I agree that other than that I'm relatively low profile, but I have no issues with a biography if one exists. I nominated the article for deletion myself the first time around (which was two sentences for people new to the discussion and right after I won the award) when there was only the PelhamToday source. There was a bunch of !keep votes then on the basis on WP:ANYBIO. My rationale was mainly based on notability grounds in that I didn't meet GNG at the time. I personally think I do now.
By the way, I really should have been officially notified about this AfD. No one left a talk page message or even a ping. I also think that if source analysis and notability debates are the type of thing one is passionate about, there's lots of articles at List of Wikipedia people that have much weaker sourcing than this one.

Keep, The Guardian coverage, combined with local news reports, creates an accurate portrait of a young Wikipedian who has taken to editing the encyclopedia as a service to humanity. The sources meet GNG, although there should be much more coverage if the Foundation public relations department were on task and realized that promoting the Wikimedian of the Year is a perfect opportunity to connect Wikipedia with its readers through interviews and public appearances. This would reach young and older readers who would otherwise think of Wikipedia as a public utility, like a sidewalk or the telephone (it's always there, no need to wonder where it came from or who created it). Some dismiss articles about Wikipedia as something called "navel gazing" without taking into account that the project itself is notable, present, and necessary in everyday life. The Wikimedian of the Year's recipients receive enough media to justify yearly articles, and Clover's is simply a page about the recent winner of an encyclopedically-worthy award. Randy Kryn (talk) 09:51, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This argument veers into speculation of what Wikimedia Foundation 'should' be doing; decisions should be made based on what coverage currently exists, not what should exist. There aren't multiple, independent articles on the subject. My little source review:
- The Guardian article: One small paragraph about Clover, mentions she is the youngest 'Wikimedian of the year' and 75% of her edits were on a mobile device. This source isn't completely independent since she was interviewed by the article's author, and is a small mention in the article overall.
- CanCulture: Small, independent magazine, interview with her; not independent.
- Pelham today: Local news site, article is dedicated to her.
- Wikipedia user profile: well... don't need to explain this one, it's a primary source that doesn't establish notability.
What many people think of Wikipedia is irrelevant when it comes to an AFD about notability, and from the sources, there is a clear lack of it. jolielover♥talk 10:08, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I personally wouldn't say the CanCulture source is an interview. It includes some quotes from me, but it's not similar to anything I've seen counted as an interview in AfDS before. Those are usually more Q&A like in nature. I agree that an AfD isn't nessecarily the best place for speculation on what the WMF should be doing, and if PR-based sources existed they wouldn't really count towards notability anyways. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 10:14, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The PelhamToday source is completely about me and is about 11 small paragraphs. The Guardian piece dedicates 2 of its 7 paragraphs to me and provides a bit more detail than suggested above, specifically about how I'm a younger editor and also that I used to edit on my work breaks at McDonald's. CanCulture dedicates about 46 lines to me. I also dispute that it isn't independent simply because it quotes me. I say lines rather than paragraphs but there's a lot of line breaks and I didn't want to mischaracterize what is actually there. Then there's a fourth source that covers me (an interview with BBC Techlife that was briefly mentioned in the last AfD), but as an actual interview it wouldn't count towards notability at all. I'll also mention that the PelhamToday source is technically a republished version of a ThoroldToday source (not cited in the article and not included as part of the 3 that contribute to GNG) and that the brief quotes included in the piece are the journalist quoting me from the awards ceremony (which was uploaded to YouTube). I didn't actually talk to him. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 10:24, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but there's still hardly enough to establish notability as of yet. Like I said, CanCulture is a really small independent magazine, PelhamToday is a local news source, and The Guardian source isn't about Clover, focusing instead on generational gaps between editors and bringing Clover in as an example. Per WP:GNG, sources must offer "significant coverage" that goes beyond routine announcements or trivial mentions. I definitely see The Guardian's article as a trivial mention. jolielover♥talk 10:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose we just disagree then. I know what SIGCOV is and I think that these sources do indeed meet it. I guess time will tell what other editors think. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 10:58, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, "PR based" simply means that the Foundation's public relations office would put together a press kit for television, radio, press and influencer producers alerting them to the Wikimedian of the Year's availability for media interviews, and those interviews would apply as sources. If this logical action is being done on a yearly basis already, my apologies for bringing it up. Yes, The Guardian mention, combined with local and other coverage, arguably meet GNG. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:29, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Additional Comment) I was looking at the deletion discussion for Newyorkbrad and really think that we should take better care of our BLPs, especially Wikimedia related ones. To quote 28byte of that discussion, "problems with piecing together a biographical article about someone about whom no proper biography has been written in reliable sources. You get woefully incomplete and outdated scraps of information that do not cohere into a proper, comprehensive narrative about the man’s life and career." Facing it, there is no real narrative about Clover's life written in the sources. The few sources that do exist all cover her winning the award and one goes a bit further in depth and also looks at her mobile editing.

While we're possibly at a bare minimum for an inclusionist, I think we should take more care for BLPs of our editors (if not all BLPs) and prioritize creating articles when its possible to make a decent article. Looking closer at the sources, like what User:jolielover did above, shows that what exists may not be even enough to count for notability. Currently, I feel we are a still a way off. --JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 12:18, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reywas92, kindly pointing out that instead of others "overestimating our significance and reach" that you may be underestimating it? Wikipedia as a cultural phenomena built on existing and expanding technology is a significant influence that explains available information in a unique and important way. To pick one person out of the pool of editors to honor as a named example of its production is backed up by the notability of its, amazingly to many, ongoing existence without falling prey to the IP vandals. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:11, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If that wasn't clear, it's overestimating the significance and reach of internal activities like volunteer awards, not the encyclopedia as a whole...and its contributors, even the best ones, do not inherit the project/organization's notability or influence. Reywas92^Talk 15:15, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, the 'our' caught me in its all-or-nothing trap. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:22, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's important to be humble and be cautious when writing about Wikimedia topics. Yes, our website is incredible and the way we've been able to build an encyclopedia free to all is amazing. But we also need to be realistic and not give ourselves undue attention. Let other publications do the talking. JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 15:25, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing undue about viewing Wikipedia objectively. I'll try to not to unduly comment in this discussion again though. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:31, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable indie band. The only (possibly) non-primary source in this article is a thread on now-defunct website “AbsolutePunk”, which doesn’t seem to be archived anywhere. Since AbsolutePunk had a forum section, it’s also possible that the post was user-generated rather than official content, which would make it unreliable. (If anyone can confirm this or figure out what the post was, let me know)

Kordel Davis

Rejected CSD A7 and contested PROD. This article appears to have issues around WP:BLP1E. Davis has received coverage related to the Penn State fraternity hazing scandal but does not appear to be independently notable. Discussion of his music career is sourced only to retailers where his music has been published. Discussion of his activist work is sourced to articles that either don't mention him; make very brief mention without significant coverage, when discussing a different topic; or articles written by Davis himself. It seems like this would best be covered with a redirect to Penn State fraternity hazing scandal. hinnk (talk) 01:09, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have not found any secondary sources that back up the claims made in the article (i.e. that it is the predominant standards bearer for sailing the Americas). World Sailing seems to be the international body that actually sets standards for the sport, and US Sailing is the member org for the united states. Article seems more promotional to direct people to schools from American sailing which I expect is how they make their money. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 15:35, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contested draftification. The only coverage of this football player I can find are trivial announcements that he'll be joining Chelsea and run-of-the-mill stories about his scoring in particular games. The Forbes article appears to be unreliable per WP:FORBESCON. Note that NFOOTY has been explicitly repealed by consensus of the community.

Forbes		WP:FORBESCON		? Unknown
Football Talent Scout		SPS. See about page.		✘ No
Astana Times	Independent of the subject, but not independent in the sense that this is a Kazakh-government run paper that has a vested interest in promoting Kazakhstan.

This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

Source assessment confirms that the coverage is largely based on participation. Participation-based coverage is not sufficient for notability based on the two RfCs linked to in the nom.
