This article is very difficult to understand. Some people moved from Sistan to Golestan for reasons that are largely lost in translation. Is this movement notable? Between Farsi and Russian sources, hard to say. I don’t think our readers are well served by having something so garbled in mainspace, so suggest draftifying for further work.

Some of Trump's rallies are independently notable. This one is not. This isn't the one where he was shot at or the one evoking comparisons to the 1939 Nazi rally at MSG. This is the rally where Trump decided to stop taking questions and start swaying to music. It was in the news for a bit, but two weeks later, WP:SUSTAINED coverage is absent. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:30, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, this is a WP:News article with only a brief burst of news coverage. Wikipedia:Not every single thing Donald Trump does deserves an article is also good to keep in mind, both for Donald Trump topics and in general. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:55, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: More of a list of songs than anything else, other than the groovy dance moves, I don't see notability. There is no lasting coverage of the event. Oaktree b (talk) 23:58, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. No sustained coverage. Esolo5002 (talk) 06:16, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: This might warrant a sentence in a larger article about the campaign, but its actual significance looks like a footnote at best, barely a blip in the heavy media coverage cycle. Bludgeoning the article with near-duplicate sources from the same tight timeframe doesn't change that. Mockingbus (talk) 07:22, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and wait: the event did receive widespread coverage after it took place, and if Trump's mental acuity continues to be questioned (or worsen), this event might receive lasting coverage if people look back to it as "that moment when the decline was on full display", particularly if he manages to become President again. I think a wait and see approach would be best. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talkcontributions) 16:27, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This feels like a "Gerald Ford forgot to shuck a tamale" kind of situation, even if it gets there (i.e. worth a sentence or two in the context of a larger article). In the biggest (and two weeks out, seemingly unlikely) case that this is "the turning point", that article probably looks very much different from this one, to the point that I would argue it would need to be rewritten from scratch even then. Mockingbus (talk) 18:12, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per GNG and WP:HEY. The article has been significantly expanded since being nominated for deletion less than 2 hours after creation. Of course not every single thing Donald Trump does deserves an article, but this event has received significantly more coverage than most Trump events. It was covered by numerous international news publications, as well as reliable entertainment, LGBTQ, music, political, and popular culture publications. The article includes reactions by both campaigns, the RNC, notable political commentators, notable politicians and former staffers, and notable musicians. I strongly disagree that this article is "more of a list of songs than anything else" that should be distilled down to a single sentence for another article, as suggested above. The article is a work in progress and I invite others to help expand and improve. --Another Believer (Talk) 16:46, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You have expanded it, but you haven't demonstrated notability IMHO. The latest date I see on a reference is October 17, much like my WP:BEFORE search, indicating the lack of SUSTAINED coverage. As said above, there was a brief burst of news coverage that died out within 48 hours and this article is more of a Trump playlist than NEVENT article. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:49, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A poorly formatted article; most of the sources in the article and the before search seem to revolve around Helen Pankhurst. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 18:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the information has been deleted from the page.
The information deleted was a description of this organisation. Why?

Nothing in your explanation is a reason for deleting the article according to the guidelines. Kps2015 (talk) 21:19, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closing admin: Kps2015 (talkcontribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.
@Kps2015 Notability isn't inherited; this is both a deletion argument to avoid and referenced in the biographical notability standards. The spirit of this guideline quite likely applies to companies people own. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 21:45, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thanks for your response (although I don't fully understand it!).
The problems with this page arise from the fact that fuller information about this organisation has been deleted (on grounds of copyright). The solution is to restore the full information about this organisation, not to delete the page. I will endeavour to sort this out. Kps2015 (talk) 08:50, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kps2015 I really doubt that restoring the information will help with keeping the article. It's probably best to find sources that talk about centenary action without centering Pankhurst. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 11:17, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That page doesn't "centre Pankhurst" it makes one mention of her. That is not a valid reason for deleting the page. Kps2015 (talk) 14:07, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Notability isn't inherited" - I think what you are saying that it isn't of interest that the grand-daughter of those who campaigned for women's suffrage is campaigning in this area today. I would have thought that is arguable. Either way, how is that a reason for deleting an entire page about a major campaigning organisation, rather than simply amending it? Kps2015 (talk) 11:18, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kps2015 You misundertand. I'm saying that it appears that Centenary Action is inheriting notability from that great-grandaughter, which I interpret to be something in violation of an invalid way to get notability. Please read the link I gave you. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 11:49, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@I dream of horses - if you look at the organisations which are members you will see that this is a serious lobbying organisation. Your personal feelings about the founder aren't a reason to delete a Wikipedia page. Kps2015 (talk) 14:15, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem to meet WP:NSONG... b-side song, didn't chart, no significant coverage in independent sources (all the news coverage references seem to be just regurgitated press releases from the group's agency saying the song exists).

Some of the article's content could maybe be salvaged and put into a newly-created article about the song's parent maxi-single (along with information on the other 3 songs, maybe?) but as it stands it doesn't fit the criteria. RachelTensions (talk) 23:57, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2007 Gerry Reilly Cup (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable edition/staging of amateur sports event - that doesn't meet WP:NSEASON or WP:SIGCOV or WP:NEVENT. Even if the competition as a whole (the Gerry Reilly Cup) has notability, there is nothing to indicate that this single running of that event has independent notability. Certainly the text of the article, the refs within it, and a WP:BEFORE search for other sources do not appear to establish independent notability. If not deleted, as an WP:ATD, the title could perhaps be redirected to Gerry Reilly Cup (perhaps to a section WP:WITHIN it dealing with the 2007 event). But there is otherwise no apparent sources/rationale for a single instance of this (non-national, provincial, amateur, childrens/schoolboy) competition has independent notability. (By extension I would question the expectation/presumption, in this template, that every annual occurrence of this amateur/teenage competition warrants a standalone WP:NSEASON/WP:NEVENT article....) Guliolopez (talk) 20:57, 15 October 2024 (UTC) Guliolopez (talk) 20:57, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I intend to create more articles for annual events of this provincial underage football competition, which has grown in stature with each passing year, with counties beyond the province of Leinster now participating. The 2007 Gerry Reilly Cup article was created because when I located the Gerry Reilly Cup article, I found it to be in a very unsatisfactory condition. It was possibly created in 2007 as it focused very much on that year's competition. I tidied up the article and thought it best to create a standalone 2007 Gerry Reilly Cup article to place the bulk of content that I found on the main page. The format of the tournament has also changed since 2007 so the content had become dated and no longer accurate in the way that it appeared on the main page. It was also quite challenging to source references for that renewal of the tournament which happened seventeen years ago. Moresthepity (talk) 21:19, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thanks for your note. If it's "challenging to source references for [..the event..] which happened seventeen years ago", would that not indicate that WP:SIGCOV isn't met? And that, perhaps, (whatever about the competition as a whole or instances of the competition held on other years) the 2007 staging doesn't/didn't warrant a standalone article?

TheJoyfulTentmaker, this could be seen as canvassing. Liz Read! Talk! 04:23, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the feedback, @Liz. I thought this would be considered an appropriate notification as stated in the canvassing guideline, since that is a central location and I was completely open about it. (A more conventional noticeboard for this, WikiProject Turkey, is unfortunately very inactive lately, and maybe this could attract the interest of some existing/prospective project members.) TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 04:41, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz @TheJoyfulTentmaker I am happy with any of my AfD being publicised on Turkish Wikipedia. In very many cases there is either no Turkish article or it is completely uncited. Many of the Turkish editors would be able to contribute here, but even if they don’t want to come to enwiki if they could cite on trwiki we could simply copy the cite to enwiki. Especially for the many uncited Turkish music, TV and film articles they will be far more knowledgable than me. Chidgk1 (talk) 10:55, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Bosphorus in the absence of input from native speakers or Istanbul residents. I can't find other sources that verify this use of the term "Boğaziçi," and the Turkish version doesn't provide sources either. Finally able to view the encyclopedia link provided above now that IA is back online, and it does seem to say this term may be used to refer to the neighborhoods adjacent to the Bosphorus. However, I don't know that the sourcing is strong enough to warrant a standalone article. (I'm open to changing my view if additional sources are presented or a local expert can provide perspective. FWIW, my spouse, while not a Turk, does speak some Turkish and has lived in Istanbul and she knows "Boğaziçi" as a reference to the strait, not as a collective term for the neighborhoods that border it.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:13, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dclemens1971 I have no strong objection to a merge for now, since the there seems to be an overlap with the Bosphorus article. However, if anyone is interested in splitting it back and writing a standalone article, I'm pretty sure there will be no shortage of sources. Side note: adding this poem, which I believe is notable on its own, for demonstrating common references to the neighborhood in Turkish literature.

  • Delete. Awards don't make people notable enough for encyclopedia articles if your source for the award is the award's own self-published website about itself — that's a primary source, not a GNG-building one, and that wipes out two of the three footnotes here. The key to making him permanently notable on this basis would require coverage about him in third party sources unaffiliated with the statement — namely media coverage and/or books — and just one hit of that isn't enough all by itself.

Consensus in the previous AfD that this was a WP:BLP1E due to the only coverage being in the context of a failed election campaign. Was recreated by a new user with few edits outside of this page. Don't think anything has changed since the last AfD (there's been some minor coverage of a bill she advocated for a few months later but nothing substantial), and the article should be redirected back to 2023_Virginia_House_of_Delegates_election, with the title ECP'd. I also think having an article about a person whose apparent sole reason for notability is a sex scandal is inadvisable. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:55, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect or Delete - I defer to more experienced Wikipedians than me. Thank you for the summary. I'll add three main points. Pmcc3 (talk) 15:34, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A) One significant change since the last AfD wrapped up is that S.G. lost the election which makes her less notable than if she had won ("Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline." in Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Politicians and judges with emphasis added).
B) Also, "it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives" in Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons
C) Examining the WP:BLP1E standard, the first two criteria arguably are met (1, only in context of the single event; 2, low profile) but what of criterion 3? There my assessment is that it is not "well documented" because there is one WaPo article and then many reports essentially parrot the WaPo article uncritically (or copy it inaccurately). If the WaPo article gets anything wrong, so will its derivatives. In the case of Joe Gow for comparison, there was much adversarial analysis in committee hearings at a University with lawyers present over the course of months (with no politics or election deadlines) in order to try to determine the truth, and many independent reporters, and still many facts are in dispute. The WaPo article about S.G. was published rapidly in the middle of a political campaign. It describes its own "Deep Throat" as follows: "The Republican operative who alerted The Post to the videos ... provided the information on the condition of anonymity to avoid being drawn into the controversy." The WaPo article is based in part on audio in the videos, but fake words trivially could have been dubbed, not even requiring sophistication of deep fakes. The WaPo, like TwitterX, is owned and controlled by a single individual, sullying each one's trustworthiness. Pmcc3 (talk) 03:19, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article by a novice editor of an academic with unclear notability and which has too many unsubstantiated claims. H-factor of 28 with 2574 cites so does not pass #C1. Page contains both significant WP:MILL (e.g. giving a seminar) and unsubstantiated claims such as "published more than 300 papers". GS shows 141 total, many uncited conference papers. Editor claims that he qualifies under #C2 which I am very dubious about since at most the Ukrainian State prize comes close. I tagged the page with notability questionable, and asked for verification of claims. Appsoft4 ignored request, so now it needs a wider discussion of notability (or not).

  • Comment. The subject is not completely unnotable under PROF, the citations appear reasonably healthy. As the subject recently died, it is possible that more obituaries will be published (there is one in memoriam already in the article) which will provide GNG. There's a uk article that appears to predate the subject's death and was apparently not created by Appsoft4. Perhaps draftification is an option? Although the creator appears to have been quite disruptive, imo blocking them from participating in this AfD is not really in the interests of assessing whether or not the article subject meets our threshold.

Fails WP:NATFEAT. "Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. [...] If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography.

The opening line says it all: "The Carmel Pine Cone is a small weekly Californian newspaper." and it's been one since its inception. Carmel-by-the Sea is a tiny town. The fact the the Pine Cone has an article here has been used to suggest that articles in it carry notability. That has been used in the construction of a walled garden by a single editor to boost the reputation of this tiny place. Despite a reference in the NYT (close inspection will show it to be a passing mention) not one of the ten references verify any notability. WP:V is one of our key tenets. No V? No article.

This was the final ANI discussion that led to the creator's site ban after many, many discussions.The editor had a long history of COI and undisclosed paid-editing, poor sourcing, self-published sources, COI sources, and deliberately misrepresenting sources to make subjects appear notable. Additionally, there was LOUTsocking. The editor, Left guide who deleted some of the material, was working on clean up efforts removing hyperlocal sourcing, paid-COI sources, self-published sources, and questionable sources. These were not some random drive-by deletions as problems went on for over a decade before the editor was community blocked/banned. Netherzone (talk) 00:28, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - This article is another entry in the "Carmelopedia" what some editors have called a "walled garden", the purpose of which was boosterism and WP:PROMO effort to promote all things Carmel-by-the-Sea. This mayor, whose term ran for two years, of a town of less than 700 people during his term, does not meet notability criteria for an encyclopedia article. According to the article, he is "best known" for his efforts to keep Carmel free from tourists; this does not confer inherent notability. Fails WP:NPOLITICIAN. He was also a non-notable writer (fails WP:NAUTHOR) and he acted in a play at a local theater in Carmel (fails WP:NACTOR). (The Forest Theater section is because he acted in a play there - this is typical bloat/puffery from the editor who is now blocked for COI/UPE and poor sourcing.) The sources are all local or hyper-local, or sourced to the Carmel Residents Association (COI), or the questionable "Arcadia Publisher" Images of America series of books for the tourist trade.

Just curious: How do you know that he only served as mayor for 2 years? The article says that the was elected for a 2nd term as mayor.

      This article has a lot of negative coverage about Liangyou's business failures and also covers the company's history. The article notes: "据《第一财经日报》记者多方了解,这家2011年总资产已达154亿元、全年销售收入165亿元的老牌国企,这几年却不尽如人意。食用油是良友的主营业务之一,良友集团原领导曾有“海狮兴,则良友兴”的论断,一位资深业内人士如此告诉本报记者。现实非常残酷,上海作为良友的总部,占尽“主场”便利,良友不仅输给了跨国粮油品牌金龙鱼,在央企品牌福临门和台湾品牌多力冲击下,良友也应对乏力,市场份额下滑。"

      From Google Translate: "According to the reporter of China Business News, this old state-owned enterprise, which had total assets of 15.4 billion yuan in 2011 and annual sales revenue of 16.5 billion yuan, has not been satisfactory in recent years. Edible oil is one of Liangyou's main businesses. The former leader of Liangyou Group once said that "if Sea Lion prospers, Liangyou will prosper", a senior industry insider told our reporter. The reality is very cruel. As the headquarters of Liangyou, Shanghai has the convenience of "home court". Liangyou not only lost to the multinational grain and oil brand Golden Dragon Fish, but also failed to cope with the impact of the central enterprise brand Fortune and the Taiwanese brand Duoli, and its market share declined."

      The article notes: "市场人士分析,良友食用油售价低,是因为作为国企,担负了上海市平抑物价的责任,企业品牌投入资金相对较少。这导致良友在市场竞争中非常不利。"

      From Google Translate: "Market analysts analyzed that the low price of Liangyou cooking oil is because, as a state-owned enterprise, it bears the responsibility of stabilizing prices in Shanghai, and the company's brand investment is relatively small. This puts Liangyou at a great disadvantage in market competition."

I did contribute some a bit to the article a few years ago, including adding the NF image and some sources.

Having looked at WP: BANDMEMBER and read the first item on the list of notability criteria under WP:BAND, I can say that I would not be opposed to a merge with or redirect to Elvis Costello.

An entirely blanked article because it fails WP:NBIO and has WP:COI issues. Somehow, nobody thought about making a deletion discussion throughout all of this process. TeapotsOfDoom (talk) 17:05, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Might as well ping @Left guide and @Arch2all to see what arguments they have. TeapotsOfDoom (talk) 06:33, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the redirect, because it linked to a page which is not directly related to Francis Wynkop. I haven't deleted the previous content. It is not an acceptable solution to create misleading redirects in this case. Keep the old content or delete the whole page, if no one can create acceptable content here. Arch2all (talk) 09:29, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wynkoop is with 2 Os; and the redirect (although I think the page should be kept) was not misleading. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 09:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or redirect per the edit summary argument which is still fully valid:

    fails WP:NBIO, virtually all of the coverage available for this person is paid sources, passing mentions, and questionable sources that don't count towards notability

    Also possibly the product of COI/UPE based on the banned article creator's history. Left guide (talk) 07:35, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not sure your general assessment of the sources as a whole is correct but WP:NPEOPLE indicates that persons meeting the following criterion may be considered notable: "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews;" That is obviously the case here. Your redirect was not misleading (see above) but I consider it is not necessary.
    Also, @TeapotsOfDoom pinging the 2 contributors who redirected/blanked the page respectively might be seen as inappropriate, although it was limited, open and neutral in its wording, as the audience might fall under the category "partisan". I am certain you did it in good faith and both users were not selected for their opinion on the subject but their opinion on the subject was obviously clear to you before you pinged them. Thank you all the same.
    Anyway, despite strong indications of notability, I stand by my procedural SK !vote. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 10:12, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Admin comment, I see no grounds for a speedy keep as BLAR is normal part of editing. Please focus on notability and not procedural issues. Star Mississippi 11:39, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    But I will focus on procedural issues, though. Please look at the history of the page and of this AfD. And please read my comment with more attention. "Blaring" is not an issue. Blanking a page, however, is not, I must insist, normal part of editing. At all. And nominating a blank page, even in good faith, is sufficient ground for SK in my view, at least for procedural keep. See first !vote and see nominator's rationale. So, as your comment is apparently made in quality of administrator and my input seems to be the only thing you notice here, please kindly read: Wikipedia:Page blanking. It's a guideline. As for the rest, I mentioned notabilty too, myself (twice), but AfDs are not always about notability only and when a procedural flaw is patent, it is relevant to mention it and it is permitted if not recommended, to !vote accordingly. Thank you for your time and concern. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 12:48, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The Austerby is described as a hamlet under the entry for Bourne in a Lincolnshire Trade Directory and appears on older Ordnance Survey maps. Austerby without "The" is a street name in The Austerby, Bourne. The ward's full name is Bourne Austerby. Pevsner has an Austerby Manor House as a titled entry, but notes it under Bourne. In a recent WikiProject UK geography discussion on whether UK wards required a separate article, most contributors thought they should be subject to passing the GNG - but one experienced editor was of the opinion wards come under WP:NPLACE and have a presumption of notability, so not clearcut. Close call but on balance, I support the nominator's redirect - to Bourne, Lincolnshire, though may change to keep, if further sources are put forward.

This does not appear to be a notable place. It is not marked on Ordnance Survey mapping or included in List of United Kingdom locations: Has-Hd. Considering the references:

  • "Post office directory": the only hit for "haven village" appears to be the phrase "Skegness is a small haven, village ...": a red herring
  • Newcomb: confirms that "Haven Village" is a postal address but does no more
  • Hennessy: "lives in Haven Village, Boston, which is a block of flats run by Encore Estate Management."

    Hi Ldm1954, I don't think I've seen you on CORP AFDs much, just wanted to quickly confirm if you're aware normally a lot of the search results we normally see are press releases, which are excluded under WP:ORGIND. For example, of the first 15 google results on my end for Athletico -paranaense about the company instead of the football club ([24] [25] [26] [27] [28][29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38]) only one (number 6 on the list) is not a press release, and even that is local coverage of the type of charity activities companies often do for publicity and composed of mostly quotes from the organisations involved. This is quite a common situation for NCORP because most companies interested in that kind of thing will put out press releases very regularly but it does mean that the number of times it comes up in search results (ghits) even when confirmed to be about the subject is quite often less useful for establishing notability than many other subjects. Alpha3031 (tc) 22:56, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Alpha3031 I am not that familiar with CORP AfDs, although I have come across quite a few startups described in academic BLPs as part of claims for notability. I am also familiar with churnalism as that occurs with too many science blogs. Three points first:
    1. I did not know much about PT, but over the last few years I have learned. I would not class the PT employees the same as nurses, but they are certainly grossly underpaid and their role is not that different.
    2. It is a pretty bad page, clearly it was written by a novice as it does not hit the appropriate topics.
    3. As an educated guess, each location sees 40 patients per day which, with repeat visits comes to about 100 per week. When the numbers are combined I think this is a significant health care effort.
    Beyond that, the sources you quote in fact have material which I think should have been used:
    • ([1] quotes the Big10 VP which could be used
    • [3] is an award from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services which can perhaps be found.
    • [7] is from another company so is independent.
    • [10] has quotes from the Chicago Bears which could be used.
    There might be more. There is a YouTube channel here which at a minimum goes as an external link Ldm1954 (talk) 17:42, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, in theory, some of these sources could plausibly provide information in an article, but the main point is we need sources establishing notability in the first place in accordance with WP:NORG. The three numbered points don't address Wikipedia notability. As to those sources, the Chicago Bears are a football team who appear to be one of the PT company's clients, so not an independent source, that's a WP:COISOURCE. The YouTube video is published by the company's account, so clearly not an independent source either. PRNewswire (or at least the link you provided) simply regurgitates press releases by the company, so obviously not independent either. The material published by another company that you claim to be independent is actually a WP:COISOURCE because it says NextGen Healthcare, Inc…announced its extended agreement with Athletico Physical Therapy. The article hosted on the Malaysian Reserve states that it's copied from PRNewswire which means it's another regurgitated press release. Left guide (talk) 01:55, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no evidence that an Nvidia GPU microarchitecture by the name Fahrenheit ever existed. At that time, NVidia simply gave each chip they designed a numerical codename based on the order they designed it - NV1, NV2, NV3, NV4 and NV5.

I stand by my original PROD reason, which was that it seems unlikely there will be enough coverage to meet WP:NORG.

The Guardian article cited is written by Briggs and seems to be more about her opinions on art than the organisation itself. All the other coverage I've been able to find such as this 2002 article also from the Guardian barely goes beyond mentioning the name.

Transparently political, wildly incorrect (wages have increased substantially since 1981). Lacks notability and appears to be a neologism. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 03:41, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nom is however correct on it being a neologism. If it survives AfD, I'll propose renaming to either Great Regression (Robert Reich) or Stagnating real wages for lower earning workers in the advanced economies since 1981 (Checking on google scholar, the vast majority of recent uses of "Great regression" are in completely different senses to that used by good professor Reich.) Being 'transparently political' is not a valid reason for deletion. I'd be inclined to accept it as an IAR reason if the article would be likely to increase US polarisation - but the phenomena reflects almost equally badly on both parties (Many would say worse on the Reps in the 20th century, but quite a few have argued the Dems have been more to blame in recent years, and there are global economic forces in play that neither party can easilly fully mitigate.) PS - I tweaked the wording to make clear the article if refering to real wages - thanks Nom for pointing out it could have been read as "wildly incorrect". FeydHuxtable (talk) 12:21, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When I say wildly incorrect, I mean every sentence in the article is rejected by the consensus of mainstream economists and is not supported by the actual data. Real median wages are up substantially from 1980 (and more precise metrics, like median household income per head-equivalent after adjusting by PCEPI, have increased much faster). A framing that "reflects badly (or well) on both parties" is still an explicitly political framing, and in fact that's my main complaint here—the article is just uncritically repeating Robert Reich's populist talking points, despite wages, compensation, and consumption figures all disagreeing with him. If the article is kept, it should be retitled something like "Great Regression myth" and be devoted to explaining how this thesis has been thoroughly rejected by the consensus of mainstream economists. (Excluding parts like widening measures of relative inequality, where the field generally agrees that metrics like Gini are up, although there's some disagreement.) The consensus is that the period 1980-2015 was characterized by the poor getting richer at a slightly slower pace than the rich, a trend that reversed around 2015. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 23:37, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Only tangentially related, but if you want to understand American political trends since 1980, the most enlightening articles for me have been Center squeeze and McGovern-Fraser commission—this is pretty much exactly what social choice predicted would happen based on the changes we made to American political institutions.) – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 23:38, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for explaining & for the tips on center squeeze etc. I can see you really know your stuff in this topic class! Sadly though, that's 100% incorrect on the mainstream consensus. When it comes to marshalling economic data, they don't come much more mainstream than Robert Reich. Just glance at the lede of his wikipage - even the conservative leaning Wall Street Journal placed him sixth on its list of Most Influential Business Thinkers . Granted, some of his favoured policy responses are a little outside of consensus, at least in US economic circles, but his command of data is masterful. It's important to note Reich was talking about workers who both live in the advanced economies and are in the lower paid brackets (especially bottom decile).
Even at the end of the 20th century, there was relatively little quality empirical work that differentiated between the pay brackets at good resolution. But between about 2000 & 2005, trailblazing work led by Tony Atkinson along with the likes of Emmanuel Saez & Thomas Piketty yield abundant data on these trends. There's likely still a few 10th rate economists who don't even know about it - but no one try's to seriously dispute the data as the empirical evidence is unassailable. (Disputing their fave policy recommends is of course another matter.)
Turing to your rebuttals, there's not really much conflict between your Fed link & what Reich said about median earnings. (He said "stagnating" not declining). The Fed graph may appear to show they're "up substantially", but a skilled analyst would immediately see the graph has misleading qualities if used to support that sort of conclusion (e.g. choice of extrema for the Y-axis). Take a look at the Great Regression infographic. Reasonable for Reich to say overall pay growth stagnated between 1980 - 2009 when it only totalled ~8% , compared with ~ 85% between 1947-79. And much of that rise is due to gains that overwhelmingly benefit those at the top. As is clear from the part of the infographic showing that pay for the bottom quintile rose by 122% in the 1947-79 period but actually fell by 4% for 1980 - 2009.
According to various datasets, you'd be right to say 1980-2015 was characterized by the poor getting richer at a slightly slower pace than the rich - but only from a global perspective rather than looking at the advanced economies. (Losses for the poor in Global North were more than offset by gains from the more numerous poor in Global South). Interestingly, believers in social choice & pubic choice type theories normally like to claim the trend didn't reverse until more like 2018, so they can blame the shift aware from free market liberalism after Trump & Brexit etc. (And the current revised World Bank, UN & IMF figures largely back that up, though they didn’t a few years back.) But as you mention 2015, here's a good source for showing that other mainstream economists saw the data in an almost identical way to Reich. Note fig 1.2 on page 9 which shows falling incomes for the entire bottom 90% in several advanced economies! Note the report was co led by Larry Summers himself, about as centrist a mainstreamer as they come. BTW, I met with Larry in London at the launch event for that report. Even back then, I was starting to think being an activist for socialist economics was not the best use of my talents, but I accepted the invitation as I was hoping one of the inclusive capitalists there could be talked into funding an Inclusionist version of Wikipedia, where folk like RAN, Anobody & Ikip could be installed as lifelong Arbs, and policy would be set so that no useful article would every be deleted. I did managed to have a ten minute chat with the biggest moneybags there ( Glenn Hutchins ) but sadly we got stuck on talking about the chances of implementing a generous universal basic income, and never got the chance to talk to him 1-to-1 again... Anyway, now I've hopefully clarified mainstream thinking for you, perhaps you might change your vote to keep so article can be saved? Or if you remain determined to delete, perhaps you could strike "wildly inaccurate"? This article was created the legendary RAN himself, a titanic contributor whose legacy we should not want to tarnish. FeydHuxtable (talk) 20:00, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • DraftifyDelete: From the sources available this seems like nothing more than a not so newish neologism. From the sources available in the article that I can view the term is only used in passing or as the title and there is no great analysis of the concept as a thing in and of itself. Searching for the term results in similar with what sources that are available only mentioning the concept in passing. I'm not discounting that sources exist though which could be used to further demonstrate notability so I suggest draftification with the understanding that any movement to mainspace go through AFC. If notability hasn't been demonstrated by there being significant coverage in multiple reliable source after 13 years then this ought to be deleted.

Promotional resume-style bio for a non-notable economist, repeatedly moved into mainspace by quickie-autoconfirmed accounts following declines at AfC. There is no evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. Sources in the article are primarily the subject's own writings, plus WP:PRIMARYSOURCE bios and a few low-quality promotional WP:CHURNALISM articles that appear to be based solely on interviews with the subject (see here, here; this one is explicitly marked as sponsored content). With a relatively low h-index for an economist at his stage of career, I don't see a pass of WP:NACADEMIC either. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:42, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Possible copyright infringement. The Dutch Wikipedia article was deleted because it was not clear where and when the text was first published and by whom; copyright infringement could not be ruled out. Same applies here; the first version of the english-language text is a straightforward translation from a Dutch original, possibly written by the same author of the Wikipedia articles, that appears to have been published in 2021 by the Bibliotheek van Zeeland. It has to be assumed that the Bibliotheek van Zeeland is the owner of the copyright. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 00:21, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Much appreciated, @Gidonb! I have mixed feelings about this. The topic of this article, SvE for short, is notable. Thanks to your effort to write a lead section, it survived the first AfD discussion. I am sure that researchers on slave trade would be very interested to know more about this trading company, that was small and short-lived, but certainly relevant. What needs to be clarified is if this article, published by Zeeland Library, is copyright protected. The third and fourth paragraphs, as well as the literature and references, are identical to the first version of this WP article on the SvE. If I understand the disclaimer correctly, the text is not intended for commercial use and the library does not take responsibility for improper use. In my view, the text cannot be published as is on Wikipedia. The Encyclopedie van Zeeland, another publication by Zeeland Library, also carries the same text. Since the EvZ does not have a disclaimer, we have to assume that the EvZ is copyright protected. For a Wikipedia article on SvE, the text needs more work. In my view, for example, the section on Essequibo at the start of the fourth Anglo-Dutch war, is only indirectly relevant for the SvE. The two main sections of the article really are two different topics. Unfortunately, this article cannot be cleaned up. It has to be deleted for copyright violation. A new article has to be created from scratch. I will have to leave that to someone else. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 14:55, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
