This page was created for a musician in India, but she appears to not meet our general notability guidelines. I've PRODded this one, but the creator of the page took down the prod after making some modifications to the page. Quick Google search does not turn up anything to meet GNG, and the only link on the page itself is a search for "Indian Idol" on Times of India - and this link does not meet muster in the slightest. -- Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 08:08, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I don't see myself eligible to vote because I've created the page and my opinion might look biased, so I will humbly accept the opinion of the other experienced editors here. Yet, I wish to comment why I created the page: 1) It looks like the organization is more than 100 years old (under different name but still has the legacy) and its actions over that period of time seemed significant to me. Unfortunately, not all of the sources were accessible because many of them were archived in the old newspapers and libraries. I found what I could online, if anyone has access to other sources and wishes to help this project, I would appreciate it. 2) PEPA caught my attention because this organization has been fighting for a long time for the green environment and better Earth - all for the benefit of the future generations and I find during this dark time of ecological nihilism from many governments, this type of organization will have additional weight and significance for many good people among Wikipedia editors. 3) The organization (based in Purchase) never claimed its actions were local - it claims to be a US environmental agency eager to protect the rights of the US citizens. I believe that for at least part of its actions seem to have an impact across several US states, so it is for at least regional or multi-state.(New England?) 4)I replaced the link 11 with more appropriate one. If anyone wishes to help with more suggestions and links, you are more than welcome.--Parksbows (talk) 20:55, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I note that Parksbows is allowed to submit a recommendation here notwithstanding that they created this article. However, they are incorrect to say that PEPA "never claimed its actions were local". From the "about" page on its website: "The Purchase Environmental Protective Association (PEPA) is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the environment and preserving the character of our community. By monitoring development proposals and informing the public on local environmental issues facing Purchase and the local area, PEPA’s involvement and documentation of the historical, cultural, and natural features of its unique landscape serves as a vital resource to the community." (Emphasis added.) Technically, the organization's activities might extend into New England because New England includes Connecticut and Purchase, New York is very close to the Connecticut border, but I would not consider it a regional or multi-state organization. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:31, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hi, Metropolitan90! I’m glad that someone have finally commented here. I’m allowed to comment thanks to the Wikipedia rules (and I’m even allowed to vote but I do not want to abuse this rule) and I think it is right because I can explain here the reasons behind the article’s creation. I find that Westchester County Airport initiative in collaboration with the other environmental organizations (the links are in the article) is a good indication that PEPA is not a local agency by the nature of its actions. Westchester Airport was supposed to have millions of passengers a year and thousands of airplane flights and every major international airport has a global effect. This fact puts PEPA’s initiative far beyond local and one state organization (not a small state I must confess). Another case, the New York state’s lawsuit in the Supreme Court was widely discussed by the newspapers. And here is the New York Times’ article from 2004 https://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/02/nyregion/footlights.html which speaks about PEPA’s history (87 years old agency by 2004) and its involvement with PepsiCo in the previous years. As I already told before, not all the sources were available to me and some of the sources about the organization might be found in the libraries and archives of the newspapers of the New York State. Let's hope that 2020 will be a better year for our planet's ecology! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!!!--Parksbows (talk) 21:47, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Oliver Fish. There is consensus to not keep this article, but there is no consensus to either delete or merge it. Redirection is a compromise, allowing content to be merged from the history if desired. Sandstein 19:36, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now that's new. Not only we have a separate articles about fictional characters (twins) Oliver Fish and Kyle Lewis but we also have this article about them as a duo. Three is a bit too much, wouldn't you say so? References don't seem to support the notability of the duo (fails GNG).

Doesn't appear to be notable at all. The only relevant Google result is this very article, suggesting a lack of reliable sources (or sources, period) about Berke other than the mere five already cited in the article. Also worth noting that not only is there a conflict of interest here, as the article was created by the late subject himself, but according to this comment he made, he apparently "want[ed] [his] story to mean something after [he was] gone" and "hope[d] [his] little notoriety as a transgendered person [would] help [him] to be heard on [his] way out from this world" - not a very good reason to create an article on yourself, wouldn't you agree?

Poorly sourced promotional piece by a WP:COI editor. Only one reference is in any way valid, and it's a minor mention.

The result was keep. The "delete" arguments are less numerous and weaker. The "delete" side argues that this was not an actual or serious assassination attempt. That may or may not be so, but it is not relevant for inclusion according to our policies and guidelines for articles about events. These rules are based on the amount, quality of an event's coverage in reliable sources, and its lasting importance. While there may well be arguments against keeping the article on these grounds, the "delete" side by and large does not make them. They also allege BLP problems, but these seem to be largely an issue of the title accusing the man concerned of attempted assassination, of which he was not in fact convicted. This can be remedied by renaming the article, and deletion is not required to resolve this problem. Sandstein 19:28, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of this was recently removed from Donald Trump. While there is media coverage, this doesn't appear to be a serious act and politicians are constantly confronted with random threats. This wasn't a serious threat similar to Attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. This was just some wish by a random guy, which has been built up via the media desire for buzz and clicks.

@Jdcomix: Please examine the sources. The "whole documentary" was not about any assassination. It was about mental health, social services, and the courts. And it was just a cable/internet show that was slapped together and has vanished from public view. Like a segment of "Dateline" or "60 Minutes" in the USA. Also, if you'll look at the print media citations, they're all from the time immediately after the incident, before the facts were known and the charges were reduced to almost nothing. There has been no ongoing coverage or discussion of this inceident, because it's not notable. SPECIFICO talk 23:50, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
FYI, I'm not opposed to renaming the article, but it's received enough coverage to keep the article. I'll probably start a move discussion on the talk page tonight or tomorrow morning when I think of a name. Jdcomix (talk) 23:52, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re-name. I think that the topic is keep-worthy, but the title just seems wrong. It's really very much different from the Reagan example. I haven't quite come up with a proper move target, but I think something along the lines of an "incident", or something like the examples given just above by CaptainEek, would be much better. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:27, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – Possibly the title of the article could be changed, but the topic is notable, received extensive media coverage and has multiple reliable sources (The New York Times, Miami Herald, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, BBC News etc.) Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 00:05, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re-name if kept. - Neither he nor anyone else was charged with or convicted of attempting to assassinate Trump or anyone else. But Wikipedia noneless uses a headline which unequivocally says there was an attempted assassination. I thought we were better than this. Moriori (talk) 00:10, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but rename. "Attempted assassination" is inaccurate and belittles actual attempted assassinations of presidents like Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Harry Truman, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Teddy Roosevelt, all of whom had guns fired in attempts to kill them, and several of whom were wounded. In conclusion, this was a notable incident but not an actual attempted assassination. Worth noting is that attempted assassination of the president is a specific crime. Lynette Fromme was convicted of this though she never fired a bullet, and served 34 years in prison. This guy was not charged with attempted assassination, served six months on lesser charges, and was deported. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 02:34, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It may be more or less innocuous if it's properly renamed, but all the BLP disparaging descriptions of the incident would also need to be removed. Is it really notable when the only press coverage occurred right at the time of the incident and before the facts were understood. Many of the cited sources do not reflect the later descriptions of what happened. @McPhail: - Why did you create this article? What do you feel is notable about the incident? What brought it to your attention? I am not understanding your devotion to the current narrative in this article. SPECIFICO talk 02:48, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Well sourced; no case for failing WP:NOT has been made.

  • Re-name if kept. Morimori is on the right path. Despite being relatively well-informed about that person's public events, the first I heard about this being considered an "assassination attempt" was when I learned of the existence of this article. The US Secret Service is very sensitive about attempts on the life of the chief executive of the US, & unless they label an event an "assassination attempt", I find it hard to consider that event one. And were it not for having an effect in UK public affairs, I'd go as far as question this event's notability. People get ejected from public events all of the time for various reasons. -- llywrch (talk) 17:17, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for sheer WP:BLP reasons. This entire article exists to accuse a named, otherwise-unknown living person of a major crime that he has not even been charged with, much less convicted of. --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:26, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Snow Keep Article easily passes WP:GNG, WP:EVENT and WP:SUSTAINED (albeit the longer term coverage was mostly in the UK). Sorry, and while assuming good faith on the part of the OP, this is not a close call. I strongly suggest a speedy close. Discussion of a possible name change can be carried out on the article talk page. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:05, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • obvious delete The characterization of this as a serious assassination attempt is patently untrue and there's no "balance" to be achieved between political mouthpiece conservative sources and the rest of the world. On top of it the thing reeks of a certain kind of recentism since it was forgotten about in the US almost as soon as it had happened. The BLP angle is also considerable. Maybe a new article could be written with a more accurate focus on the UK ramifications, but this version of it needs to be gotten rid of, without a redirect. Mangoe (talk) 06:02, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing in your comment represents a WP:PAG based argument for deletion as all of the issues you raise are essentially fixable. See also WP:Deletion is not cleanup. The article subject easily passes our notability guidelines. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:15, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Even though all the coverage happened within a year of the event and there's no identified topic for the article after cleanup? Asking you as an experienced Admin for guidance on this. SPECIFICO talk 16:19, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The news coverage was extensive and of sufficient duration to ring the WP:N bell. And Notability is not temporary. I do agree that whether this qualifies as an actual assassination attempt is debatable. Some sort of name change may be desirable. But that is not relevant to the question of whether or not this event passes our notability guidelines, which it clearly does. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suggestion There is no question that the article passes our notability guidelines, but legitimate concerns have been raised as to whether or not the event in question was an actual assassination attempt. I would suggest that the article subject be broadened. There were at least two incidents during the campaign that involved Mr. Trump's security. This one and another where somebody tried to rush him. The latter one probably does not meet our guidelines for a stand alone article. There may have been others. I wasn't paying close attention to this sort of thing at the time. I would suggest that this page be broadened to cover security related incidents during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. A new name could be applied reflecting the broader focus with this title being left as a redirect. Courtesy ping SPECIFICO, Mangoe, NatGertler
  • While I have no objection to their being an article on security issues during the Trump campaign, assuming that there is some source article that points to more than just one such incident (so that combining them isn't WP:SYNTH), I do have a strong objection to the current title being used as a redirect to that page. Again, this would be being used in Wikipedia voice to suggest that a living individual attempted an assassination that he has not been charged with, much less convicted of. Really, the page should be blanked even while this discussion continues. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:51, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think this was a security incident. It was a crazed kid flailing at a guard and knocked to the ground. That's all. He never got the gun, let alone did anything violent with or without it. I also question whether this had extensive or lasting coverage. One can find news reports of countless arrests and then more coverage at the time of the trial. In this case, the so-called "documentary" was a tabloid bit on a web channel run by BBC, now taken down, that dealt with mental health issues, not assassination. It's cruel that a single editor has written 90-95 percent of the text of an article that depicts this young man as a would-be assassain, and I'm stunned that the WP community is apparently content to publish this. SPECIFICO talk 17:22, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note that post-release Sandford has continued to acknowledge that his intent was to kill Trump. McPhail (talk) 19:56, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. BLP1E would be a showstopper for an article about the young man. That said, someone trying to grab a gun from a police officer at a rally for a presidential campaign is definitely a security incident, whether they got the gun or not. I don't remember any, but if there were any incidents involving other candidates the article could even be broadened to Security incidents during the 2016 US Presidential Campaign or something similar. Whether or not the term assassination attempt could be retained in a redirect would depend on whether it was employed by reliable secondary sources. That's what we go by. Our personal opinions are neither here nor there. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:47, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there were other security incidents: Man charges security barricade at Trump rally in Dayton --ZimZalaBim talk 18:16, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
After pondering BLP, specifically NAME and CRIME, I am inclined to think it would be best if the man's name was redacted from the article and replaced with appropriate pronouns. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:51, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think one difficulty we face is the lack of coverage once all the facts became known. Really all we have is the coverage of the sentencing at which the judge said he did not think the kid tried to commit a violent crime. Almost all the sources are from a period of confusion made worse by the kid's statements after he naively waived his Miranda Rights and the prosecutor was making inflated allegations that he and the grand jury soon dropped. SPECIFICO talk 19:59, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep because of the many sources discussing the incident. The name of the article is not a reason for deletion, as it can be changed if necessary. Personal beliefs about what does and does not constitute an attempted assassination are irrelevant. Freeknowledgecreator (talk) 00:34, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename if kept. I have always thought this incident did not deserve an article, but discusssnts here make a good case for GNG based on the coverage in the UK. However the incident certainly does not warrant the title "Assassination attempt". I think the suggestion above for an article "threats against" similar to the one about Obama was excellent, and should be done if the article is kept (on which I am now neutral).

  • Delete but merge to Donald Trump without redirect, rename if kept. I think it shouldn't have a stand-alone page per WP:NOTNEWS. This is a minor incident, and yes, of course it received press coverage, but I don't think it passes the WP:10YEARTEST. I think the amount of content devoted to this minor incident in a stand-alone article is WP:UNDUE, and the content instead properly belongs at the biography of Donald Trump (or maybe one of the child articles, like about his campaign), and so it should be merged. I do not think there should be a redirect, because this title is totally bogus. If the article is kept, I support renaming it, as it was not an assassination attempt and is not described as such by the consensus of reliable sources. The page, with this title, should be deleted, because we are giving readers the false impression that there was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life.

Sitting here writing this, I'm tempted to boldly blank the page or redact the individual's name, but that'd probably be unnecessarily disruptive. What about "2016 Trump rally pistol-grabbing incident", or Security Incident titles as suggested above. Feoffer (talk) 12:21, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to The Watchmen (band), the band he's most notable for. While "was a member of two notable bands" is a notability criterion in NMUSIC, it isn't one that exempts the person from actually having to have any real sources — but the only reference being cited here at all is a glancing namecheck of his existence in a 122-word blurb about one of his two bands, not a source that's substantively about him for the purposes of establishing his independent notability. A solo album also isn't an automatic inclusion freebie either, but still depends on having reliable sources. There are things here that would be valid notability claims if the article were properly sourced — but there's nothing that's so "inherently" notable that he would be exempted from having to get over GNG on the sourcing just because of what the article says.

  • Comment – I have mixed feelings about this one. It has received some coverage in at least two secondary sources, according to the article's own references, indicating some level of notability, but the other refs at the article are all primary sources that don't count towards notability. The missing part of the picture is whether it got any media/press coverage at the time of its release in the 1980s – my suspicion is that might have (i.e. WP:NEXIST), but probably not much... My feeling here is that this is probably just barely notable, but it would be preferred if one or two more secondary sources for this could be found to "clinch" it... --IJBall (contribstalk) 17:05, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I think the "notability" of this subject stems from what an awful failure it was. In addition to the mentions on Cracked and Screen Rant, there's a page on TV Tropes and some YouTube videos dedicated to mocking the series. This kind of thing isn't usually considered significant coverage in reliable sources, but for this kind of topic, I think it indicates that there's legitimate public interest in this topic. At least all of the mentions of it are independent of the source -- the company that produced Peppermint Park is long gone, and the page wasn't written to advertise the series. I think it bends notability slightly but doesn't come close to breaking it. -- Toughpigs (talk) 04:45, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Toughpigs: Having a TV Tropes page is not an assertation of notability. "Legitimate public interest" is not the same thing as Wikipedia-level notability, and this doesn't seem to pass it. Cracked and Screen Rant are literally the only coverage forms that are anywhere close to reliable, and I see no reason to invoke WP:IAR just because you think it's of interest to someone. All rare media is of interest to someone. Does that mean everything on Lost Media Wiki should have a page here? Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 20:56, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: Well, notability is defined as "worthy of notice", and I think demonstrating "legitimate public interest" plays a role in that.
I looked on newspapers.com, and I found a couple mentions, which I acknowledge are very marginal:
  • Jordan Valley Sentinel (Murray, UT), Jan 14 1988, "Consumer Electronics Show: The Latest of Everything and Then Some": "E.J. Levine and the gang from Unicorn Video were there as were the people from the Peppermint Park video series which is a marvelous series for teaching preschoolers from Mark V Productions."
  • West Valley View (Salt Lake City, UT), Dec 17 1987, "Home on the Video Scene Dept.": "If you have preschoolers at home you can turn your VCR into a very pleasant learning tool with the Peppermint Park series of educational tapes which feature live action characters in various settings."
Looking at Lost Media Wiki, quite a bit of the articles featured there do have Wikipedia pages -- the current featured articles on the home page are Getting Together, Hortensius, Boone, the original version of The Good Dinosaur, Star-ving and a computer game called Big Brother that Wikipedia doesn't cover. I don't know if everything on Lost Media Wiki should have a page here -- I hadn't heard of it until I was looking up Peppermint Park yesterday -- but if that's meant to be a slippery slope argument then it doesn't scare me, particularly. -- Toughpigs (talk) 22:46, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Toughpigs: The two articles you cited are both trivial mentions and not enough for notability. "But other stuff has Wikipedia articles too" is not a valid reason to keep this one. Have you found any reliable coverage? Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 23:09, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: I have not. Just Cracked and Screen Rant, and (to the extent that it matters) TV Tropes. -- Toughpigs (talk) 00:03, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Then that is not reliable source coverage, and therefore not notability. If you can't find anything, then it must not be notable. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 00:04, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
