Is the team notable? The only external reference (not counting the team website) is to the UCI site, which merely confirms that the team exists. I see three bluelinked members, one of whom probably can be AfDed, but two others are notable since they competed in the Olympics - and accidentally none ever finished an Olympic race.

- Keep: because according to WP:CYCLING/N, "A team is presumed notable if it is: A men's road team in the 1st (UCI WorldTeam), 2nd (UCI ProContinental), or 3rd (UCI Continental) tier...". This team is in the 3rd tier, so should be presumed noteable if we're going by that guideline. However, I agree with the concerns about the lack of independent sources. When creating the article, other than the UCI website, I couldn't find much other than this.
Perhaps if the article remains, I could add a 'Citation needed' or 'Primary sources' tag?[DONE]. Also, please note that there were similar concerns recently with another team in the same tour, Black Spoke Pro Cycling Academy. Cheers, Meticulo (talk) 07:27, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

- Comment: for the sake of convenient comparison, here are links to articles on other teams in the Oceania Tour: ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast, Black Spoke Pro Cycling Academy, Nero Continental, Oliver's Real Food Racing, St George Continental Cycling Team, Team BridgeLane. I suggest either all these articles be deleted, or none of them. If deletions occur, the notability guideline for sports should be rewritten. There might also need to be a rethink of articles about teams in the continental tours of Africa, America, Asia and Europe. Meticulo (talk) 07:54, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

The result was delete. There is not a clear consensus either way and the BLPREQ policy says "Discussions concerning biographical articles of relatively unknown, non-public figures, where the subject has requested deletion and there is no rough consensus, may be closed as delete". Since notability appears to reflect from the scandals, the BLP compliant approach is to delete this and ensure that the scandals are fully covered at the appropriate place. I will make the sources available to anyone that needs them. Spartaz Humbug! 16:10, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE requested by a representative of the subject (Special:Permalink/958743072#https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Demery, verified by the subject at VRTS ticket # 2020052510005286). I think it's a reasonable deletion request - this seems to be a fairly low-profile person, I think it's a case of WP:BLP1E for the Reagan administration court case mentioned in the lead, pretty much all of the coverage is either factual "he's the Assistant Secretary for HUD" or mention of the trial. Didn't turn up any SIGCOV in a BEFORE search other than the outcome of the aforementioned trial. creffett (talk) 14:06, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Comment- I agree that he probably doesn't need an article, but the scandal was widely covered at the time, and for years after, and was part of the corruption problems during Reagan's second term. Would not a sentence in the HUD article be appropriate? There is a history section. Caro7200 (talk) 14:34, 25 May 2020 (UTC)- Caro7200, I wouldn't be opposed, though I'd prefer to see general coverage of the corruption problems and have this as a part so that it gets due weight. creffett (talk) 14:55, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- Accept Request Assistant Secretary of HUD is not a position that confers automatic notability. Merge any relevant information to Reagan administration scandals. --Enos733 (talk) 15:22, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

- Delete we need to respect the privacy of living people. The postion held is not high enough to make a person default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:17, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Assistant secretary of a government department is not a significant enough role to be "inherently" notable under WP:NPOL, the crime angle is far too minor and unimportant to claim that he would pass WP:PERP as an individual, and he's basically not a high-profile enough person that the need to have an article about him should outweight his personal privacy rights. As noted above, there are other articles where content about scandals in the Reagan administration can be included without needing to maintain a standalone BLP of every individual person who was implicated in one of them. Bearcat (talk) 22:41, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete and if there's anything worth merging to Enos733's link, do so without a redirect (which may violate some rule, but IAR.) SportingFlyer T·C 07:16, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- I'm surprised there were a number of keep !votes in this discussion, but this is a low profile WP:BLP1E who received sustained coverage for exactly one event who can be covered elsewhere and who has a privacy concern. A Newspapers.com graph doesn't bring up much coverage apart from the 1989 scandal and a blurp from his guilty plea in the early 1990s. None of the links that are presented below cover him significantly and all link him back to the HUD. I still don't see how he's not a WP:BLP1E. The scandal with African fundraising was directly related to the one event. SportingFlyer T·C 01:57, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. What is going on here? These comments have little to do with reality. The very first reference identifies Demery as "the {HUD]department’s No. 3 executive". The NY Times called him a "key player" at that cabinet-level department and covered his activities extensively, including at least six front-page articles (most of those in 1989). We're not dealing with some low-level bureaucrat. We're dealing with a prominent national figure with extensive coverage in national media. And this is in no way a BLP1E situation; Demery has also been covered in relation to his role in Pat Robertson's "blood diamonds" business [1], his fundraising for presidential campaigns [2], and his fundraising on behalf of RENAMO, a Rhodesian-backed faction in the post-independence Mozambique Civil War [3]. It's evident that none of the delete !voters have done the most minimally adequate WP;BEFORE search (and, frankly, far more caustic comments are justifiable. This is the bio of a notorious white-collar criminal, and his significance shouldn't be minimized because his crimes predate the social media era. It's not Wikipedia's job to sanitize the reputation of politically connected felons. We don't work for Bill Barr. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo).

- Keep - Updating my comment (see above) after thinking about it for a few days. It's clear, per Wolfowitz, that this is a case of more than just one incident. I don't quite agree that Demery is/was notorious--he just isn't/wasn't as famous as North, Watt, Poindexter, etc. Aside from the ethical and moral aspects of his misdeeds, he also seemed, in a criminal and quasi-criminal sense, to be notable as a consistent screw-up, to put it politely and ironically.

- Keep Place that has historical significance. A) The building was one of the few structures that survived the Battle of Kohima (WW2) per this. B) Also the oldest Jain temple in Kohima (capital of a remote Indian state Nagaland) since 1920 per this. Also listed at List of Jain Temples. The jains were a business community that migrated to remote Kohima in 1920. This temple is an important part of the city's history given very few ethnic groups migrated to Kohima that early. Nagaland has 18 tribes, many of whom continue to retain their traditional ways. C) There is systemic bias in the national print and broadcast media on coverage of the North Eastern part and this limits references in mainstream media. I will continue to look for more reliable sources and references. Arunram (talk) 20:28, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of Jain temples#Nagaland. From sources given, I believe it's a real temple, and that its 100 years old (wouldn't bet anything on the latter) but, clearly, there isn't anything to write an article with.

Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 15:55, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Indian metal band. I don't think they are notable enough for Wikipedia. Some of the sources are okay, while some of them (like blogs) are not. Even though some Indian newspapers covered their wins at some (local) talent shows, they don't appear to be notable as this was their only claim for notability. I did a Google search and only these sources that are already presented here were the main results, along with a site named "Hire4event" (do I need to explain?), some blogs, another concert site, and the rest of the sources were not even about Sinister Violence, they were articles with the words "sinister" and "violence" separately. So prove me wrong, but I think this is a non-notable band. Sinister Violence has an article on eswiki too, but it uses the same sources as here, and huwiki has an article on them as well, but that page is also nominated for deletion because it uses the same sources.

NeutralKeep as article creator. (It was kind of an experiment, as I took the name off the Wikipedia:Most-wanted articles list. Have to admit, I am at a loss to find additional references of note. If anyone else can find anything that would be appreciated, but I'm not holding my breath.) Happy to concur with any decision arrived at here. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 15:45, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Changed my vote, as, thanks to User:Athomeinkobe, there have now (03:57, 28 May 2020 (UTC)) been plenty of refs added to at least cover GNG – they were just hiding in several Japanese publications (see below). Regards, GenQuest "Talk to Me" 03:58, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep, as I believe there is enough to satisfy GNG. [This] is a sufficiently detailed report of her signing a contract with Yoshimoto Kogyo, Japan's biggest talent agency. There is also a more recent [interview-style report] about her career, and [another] detailing her early life before turning pro. I've been away from editing for a few years, but from what I remember these sorts of references were usually enough, despite her career not yet reaching the level required to satisfy the specific tennis player criteria. I'll have a quick crack at fleshing out the biography. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:26, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Artillery and tank gun calibre. Unsourced since 2017, fails WP:V. I assume this content could be sourced, but per WP:BURDEN that's up to those who are interested in keeping the content. If nobody is, it's got to go.
Another question is whether the topic is notable, either as an article or as a list of 105 mm guns. I have no idea. Google produces any number of hits, but they generally seem to be about specific 105 mm guns, not about the calibre as such. Sandstein 22:01, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep, no valid argument for deletion presented; all comments above are instead about fixable problems or are contra relevant guidelines on lists and categories. Clearly if the individual entries are verifiable, then an index of them together is as well, and it's just a question of migrating sources over from those articles. The nominator even "assume[s] this content could be sourced", which means per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE that deletion for lack of present sourcing is off the table. We're not talking about contentious BLP material so there's no deadline. Most of the entries in Category:105 mm artillery even have the caliber as part of the article title so it seems silly to me to even consider that a problem. postdlf (talk) 15:56, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

fan-page without real notability. The Banner talk 20:05, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep This is now the third or fourth time this page has been marked for deletion by someone who hasn't taken the time to actually look at the sources involved. Worse yet, no reason beyond a completely false "fan-page without real notability" was provided for why it should be deleted by the nominator. Yes, the page is about a cat, and that might seem silly, but Wikipedia is filled with thousands of even more ridiculous pages with far fewer citations from notable sources. The cat received attention from several national media outlets in the Netherlands that are included in the article and they are right there for the perusual of anyone who doubts the page's legitimacy. Furthermore, this is a topic that has already been debated at length in other deletion nomination discussions. Each time, the decision has been made to keep the page. Why is there the need to now do this all over again, especially after the last one was only a few months ago? Constablequackers (talk) 08:21, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- I did took time to look at the unknown sources, the blogs, facebook, the dead links etcetera. The link to Omroep West is in fact the only reliable source. The Banner talk 09:25, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- I did not see the earlier nomination. But to note that: the article was not kept, it was not removed due to lack of consensus. The Banner talk 09:31, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Okay, in addition to the Omroep West citation, there's also citations from the national paper De Telegraaf, the Leidschdagblad (the daily newspaper for the city), the Leidse Glibber (another publication that covers Leiden), I am Expat (a national website aimed toward expats living in the Nethelands) and at least a mention of coverage from SBS 6.

- Keep The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.
This page notes that (translation from Google Translate) "Bledder became known nationally after an article in De Telegraaf because he was the first cat with its own Facebook page." The page includes a photo of a lengthy newspaper article about the subject titled "Buurtpoes Bledder online" that was published in October 2012, 10 months before the subject's death.
SBS6's television program nl:Hart van Nederland covered the subject's August 2013 death in this article as did Algemeen Dagblad here (metadata here), Leidsch Dagblad here, and Omroep West here. This December 2013 article notes that Leidsch Dagblad declared "Buurtpoes" the word of the year in 2013 after the subject's death.
Five years after the subject's death, the subject was covered in this article in Omroep West. The article's first paragraph notes (translation from Google Translate): "Cat Bledder from Leiden has been dead for exactly five years. "Well," you would say. But that is different in Leiden. The cat made the national news before its death and has its own Wikipedia and Facebook page because half of Leiden knew the beast. Bledder has been set up and is being put down for a day in the Velvet record store on the Nieuwe Rijn so that people can stop and talk to him. Students from the house on the Hartesteeg where Bledder still lives, deliver him early Tuesday morning to record store Velvet." The article mentions that the cat made the national news before it died and mentions in passing that he has a Wikipedia page. (I do not consider this passing mention of the cat's having a Wikipedia page to detract from the article's contributing to Buurtpoes Bledder establishing notability since the rest of the article focuses on how the people of Leiden are still remembering the cat.)
That the subject was covered by reliable sources before, at, and after his death demonstrates he has received sustained coverage. That this coverage was in national and regional newspapers and radio stations strongly establishes he is notable.

- The initial versions of many of these articles (before they were moved into online archives) featured original photography in addition to onsite journalism. The report from 2018 even involved a film crew going down to look at the "stuffed cat" who was put on display in a nearby record store. These were hardly just cut/pasted press releases. And it's not the cat's fault that he was killed by a motorist during August/cucumber time. I'm sorry he didn't die during a more lively news cycle. That motorist should have thought more about how all this was going to impact his Wikipedia page 6 years later!!! Constablequackers (talk) 09:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - There is something bizarre about this article, it does not seem to have been written from an art historical perspective - not that that is a requirement - however it does seem written from an odd perspective that's slightly industrial-economical-promotional.

- ...or keep, now that there's some substantial content, thanks to User:Djflem.
- Delete. There are only three pages in articlespace that are actually linking to this list, and it's not a critical or essential link in any of them — two of them are, unsurprisingly, the two people listed here who actually have established notability for other reasons, because one was also a state legislator and the other was an NBA player, but just wait for the punchline that makes one of them even more problematic — while the third is just the "deaths in April 2015" entry for one of those same two people. So none of them have a contextual need for this link to exist — it can easily just be unlinked in all three uses.
Now, to be fair, strictly speaking the value of a list of mayors does not necessarily vest in how many of them do or don't already have articles to link to — it's more important that a list of mayors of a town or city be complete than it is that the list comprise exclusively blue links. So the real problem here isn't the number of red links — it's the fact that the list is incomplete. The first mayor took office in 1901, with no indication of when his term ended. He's then followed by the state legislator, who — time for the punchline — is listed as an unsuccessful three-time candidate for mayor in the 1920s with no indication given in either the list or his biographical article that he ever actually won a mayoral election or served as the actual mayor at all. Then we skip to the 1950s for a person who served as mayor in 1950 and 1951, and then we skip one or more other mayors to land in 1958 — and then the list is complete from then on, but even then only because one of the next two mayors served for 50 years before dying in office literally just a few years ago.
So what we have here is an incomplete list, with just two notable people in it — and one of those two notable people isn't reliably sourced as belonging in it at all, while the other one is notable far more for other reasons separate from the mayoralty than he is as a mayor per se. Gerald Calabrese can certainly be mentioned in Cliffside Park's city article — and indeed he already is — but this is mostly unsourced information about mostly non-notable people, along with one additional person who may not even properly belong here at all, which is not a recipe for a list that we need to retain either by keeping or merging.

Second source is a local history book written about the town, it may satisfy WP:V, but not notability, I probably can find a book like that for every small town in America.

@Pburka: May I suggest you consider Wikipedia:LISTN, a nom rationale which is dubious, since it clearly states (bold mine): 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 and There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability ... or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists...Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability...Also, as stated above by another editor:the value of a list of mayors does not necessarily vest in how many of them do or don't already have articles to link to . In other words, a list does not require that its entries be independently notable or "blue-linked" (a nom rationale that appears to be flawed). With such a finite list, as mentioned, it should be complete, which it now is. Given Category:Lists of mayors of places in the United States it is clear that the community consensus is is to keep this type of list.Djflem (talk) 07:14, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

- Are you saying merge? Djflem (talk) 06:58, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Merge The article's an oversourced mess at the moment. I don't think the topic itself is notable, but the information in the article has been improved and would be a valid list... I think the best solution here would be to clean this up into a table and move it over to the Cliffside Park article. What information there is on each mayor can be included in the article somehow. A mayor of the town isn't really all that notable, but there's no reason to delete this information now (it was expanded from when it was nominated.) SportingFlyer T·C 06:41, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. No policy-grounded reason for deletion of this content has been advanced. The only legitimate question is whether the content should be included in the article on the municipality or spun out into a discrete list. That is noy an appropriate discussion for this forum. I also echo the concerns about the nominator's absurd claims that no reliable sources exist as to the mayoralty of a New Jersey city established in 1895, since both municipal records and newspapers from the entire time period exist. Statements like this, and the nominator's doubling down on them, indicate the nominator lacks the skills required to research and present deletion proposals. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo).

Non-notable artist. Appears to be an elaborate promotional/vanity page. Searching for this person on Google, I find mostly self-created promotional websites: Facebook, Youtube, etc, and some marketplace websites where I assume his art is for sale. No Google News articles discussing him. Google Books reveals a bunch of books written by him, but every single one is self-published on CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. Going through the References section, every link is either dead, or something published by the subject of the article himself, or a live link that doesn't mention Kis-Lev. Two major contributors to the article: one is Forever Art, who created the article and spent most of his other editing time adding Kis-Lev's artwork to other articles (most of that has been removed from those articles). The other is the similarly-named Psychology Forever, whose other edits are mostly adding Kis-Lev's self-published books to other articles as references. Seems likely that's the subject of the article doing the editing in both cases. JimKaatFan (talk) 20:22, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

this list fails WP:NOT as original research. There are a handful of notable software but it's been nothing but a spam target for years and I would suggest only the notable (ie. existing articles) entries be moved to List of file verification software as "comparison" is original research.

- Delete. This article is problematic for a few reasons. Firstly, as Praxidicae mentions, the overwhelming majority of the software listed in the article are not notable and improperly include external links to places where you can purchase or download said software. As a result, this has made the page a very attractive target for people who wish to promote a particular product. This, of course, is not a reason to delete the article in itself, since we could simply just clean up the article to remove any non-notable software. This leads me to the second issue. After reviewing the few entries on this list that are bluelinks to Wikipedia articles, I discovered that for several of the programs, "file verification" is not their primary purpose: e.g. 7-Zip (file compression), TeraCopy (copying files between drives), Total Commander (file manager). As a result, it seems much of this list is a conglomeration of divergent pieces of software that just happen to have file verification as a side-feature, which makes this toe close to the line of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. What's left are programs that are able to calculate cryptographic hashes or checksums as their primary purpose, e.g. md5deep, sha3sum, and cksum. However, I am skeptical that these relatively esoteric pieces of software are sufficient to sustain the notability of this kind of comparison article per WP:LISTN. Mz7 (talk) 19:01, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

- One option is to trim the tables to notable examples only and merge to File verification; we have kept plenty of similar comparison tables/lists but there's probably not a need for it to be standalone here.

- Comment. There are a few hundred software comparison articles on Wikipedia (see Category:Software_comparisons). I know that "other stuff exists" is a bad argument to make at AfD, but it would be great if we could deal with these articles systematically. Obviously notability and policies like WP:NOTDIR are factors here. But is there an overall consensus on this type of article? BenKuykendall (talk) 01:08, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- BenKuykendall I am for the nuclear option here and think Comparison of ... articles for the most part should be deleted per WP:NOT, since by their nature they almost all rely on original research.

Seems to have been a standard soldier, who did not do anything very significant except live in an upper-middle-class family. Notability, however, is not inherited. Otherwise, a fail of WP:NSOLDIER as a lieutenant colonel and a mention in despatches isn't significant enough by itself. A google search indicates no in-depth coverage to meet WP:NPERSON independently. In the article, sourcing is either unreliable (i.e. self-published genealogy sites) or not in-depth (like the CWGC source) Eddie891 Talk Work 18:09, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

WP:BLP (actually likely WP:AUTOBIO based on the creator's username) of a youth politician, not properly referenced as passing Wikipedia's inclusion standards. A youth parliament is not an WP:NPOL-passing office, so he's not automatically entitled to have an article just because he exists -- his includability would depend on showing that he's been the subject of enough reliable source coverage in real media to clear WP:GNG. But the footnotes here are entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as his own self-published website about himself and the self-published website of the youth parliament. This is not how you make a person at this level of prominence notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 17:59, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

I can't find enough sources to figure out which (if any) of the potentially existing places with the name this article is trying to be about. The articles says it's a town (city?) in Hyderabad District, Sindh, Pakistan. The version of the article until earlier today [5] had a population figure that was sourced to a webpage that doesn't seem to have any mention of the place. The article listed coordinates that were right in the middle of the city of Hyderabad (presumably an artefact of a copy-and-paste from Hyderabad (Pakistan)), but the article's text mentions different coordinates, which seem to place the town instead in Tando Muhammad Khan District (which was part of Hyderabad District before 2005). Wikimapia has an entry too, but for a place in yet another part of Tando Muhammad Khan [6]. Google maps has an entry for a Sono Khan Lashari village, but that's in a different direction from the city of Hyderabad. There's nothing in Geonames, and I can't find anything reliable on google (though I've only searched in English, not Urdu).
Maybe there is a place, or maybe more than one place, with the name that's notable, but until reliable sources are found, we can't keep this article. WP:TNT applies to a large extent: the only content in the article history is two sentences about the languages (probably alright, but unsourced), a list of generic links that was probably copied from another article, and a few small sections about a local "notable family" that were puffery through and through. – Uanfala (talk) 17:27, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

- WP:NPOL is a guideline, not a rule. Per the top of the section that includes NPOL:
- Keep per my stated rationale. It is also irrelevant that the article creator is under a restriction, since it is that very restriction which forces them through the AfC process; still, since WP:BMB does not apply, an editor's restrictions are a distraction at best. ——Serial # 17:42, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep clearly meets NPOL. I will emphasize that NPOL is not just any old SNG. I point to footnote 12 linked from there, which reads "this criterion ensures that our coverage of major political offices, incorporating all of the present and past holders of that office, will be complete regardless." So, this goes above and beyond just "a claim to notability that hints at a strong possibility that GNG can be met with a deep enough dig". Usedtobecool ☎️ 18:02, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. State legislators have a straight pass of WP:NPOL #1. The current quality of the article is not relevant to their keepability at all — state legislators always have media coverage, and we're just not always on the ball about actually finding and using all of it, which is not the same thing as coverage not existing in the first place. And since the creator used the AFC process, and the article was approved by an AFC reviewer who isn't under any similar restrictions, the original creator's restriction on creating articles is not a problem either since external oversight was involved. And yes, when it comes to state legislators our goal is to be as complete as feasibly possible a reference for all of them, not to pick and choose that some are more notable than others for some arbitrary reason outside of their having being covered by the media in the context of holding a notable political office — so precisely because better sourcing does exist to repair an inadequate article about a state legislator with, articles about state legislators are not deleted just for not already being in better shape than they are. Plus the AFC reviewer has personally already done some work on improving the sourcing here, so this article is already in better shape than it was at the time of nomination.

The result was delete. There is consensus to not keep this. Most "keep" opinions do not make much sense in the context of our policies and guidelines. Less clear is how to not keep it. "Keep & Merge" and "Delete & Merge" are both mutually exclusive and are therefore disregarded. There is some support for merging, but it is not clear what could or should be merged where to. Redirect isn't really advocated here, probably because the title isn't an obvious search term. As a result, plain "delete" is probably the most consensual option. Sandstein 19:17, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

I do not believe this should be deleted, as it captures the individual reactions to these protests, which is something that is not often captured or paid much attention to during large historical events. It's not crucially important, but I believe it has value and especially should not be deleted. Uelly (talk) 20:41, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- This practice is very common when it comes to endorsements of political candidates, and this in fact goes into more detail. The movement that is presently going on is important to report on, and this support is part of that. I would not have spent so long on the page if I didn't believe that.
- I specifically created this new page because I did not want to have specific names fill too much of the original. Instead, I wanted it to have its own space in order to discuss how the entertainment industry as a whole -- not only celebrities -- has been responding to this pivotal time. It's also why I have tried to add details on each figure's stance, and not merely their name, which is in fact more detailed than presidential endorsement list pages.
- I additionally plan to expand this page in the coming days to include more total content about what is happening. There is controversy over certain facets of the responses, and I have yet to see much in the way of opposition to the protests within the entertainment industry. I will be curious to see more in the coming days. Making a page for any currently occurring event is difficult. Hopefully we can make this page even better as a community.

- Alternative of new Response page
While I think and will continue to defend this page as being a valid one that contributes well to Wikipedia's mission as well as the public interest, there could also be a possibility of creating a new page titled Response to George Floyd protests, which could include this plus various commentators and politicians. Responses by high profile figures, verified by reputable sources, are rather crammed into the original. Creating a new page of this kind could also solve the problem. I wish to work with the community to find the best solution that puts this work to use! PickleG13 (talk) 14:14, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete What is this, a stan list? We already have a page for Blackout Tuesday, which is already closely linked. As I said earlier on the talk page of the protests, if we want to add responses from the entertainment industry, it must be someone of considerable following who has done something substantial, like Cole Sprouse getting arrested, Halsey joining the protests and Taylor Swift criticising Trump. If we are going to add every celebrity who has like, posted, about it, the page is gonna be long as hell. Nahnah4 (talk | contribs) 16:13, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep -- I concede that cruft arguments have a point, but in the current situation where people are locked at home paying disproportionate attention to "public opinion leaders" which for better or worse, include the cultural elite (also known as "entertainment industry" -- I know some will cringe at Taylor Swift being called a "cultural elite" but her influence on certain demographics is indeed relevant). Additionally, this is a nice way to keep the info, but move it off the main page. I would also support a merge to include other public opinion leaders, including politicians, other public figures such as famous scientists, philosophers, columnists, et cetera. --Calthinus (talk) 16:56, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Why would we want it on any WP article? It's trivia. Many celebs are using it as an opportunity to look good & gain media coverage for themselves. Jim Michael (talk) 17:07, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- All culture is political and all politics is culture. The "irrelevance" argument is hinged on this idea that public figures do not matter. Loads of research suggests the opposite. Of course some selectiveness is warranted, but when people underestimate the influence of even low-brow pop singers to effect politics, they do so at their own , etc [8]. --Calthinus (talk) 17:15, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- You mentioned Swift, but Swift is just one of the many celebrities out there. This can easily be added into the initial article itself, without the need of this article which is almost just like a stan list. Nahnah4 (talk | contribs) 17:18, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Nahnah4: absolutely agree about the need for selectiveness -- hence why I started the thread over at Talk:George Floyd protests. But deletion is WP:NOTCLEANUP -- the topic is notable, though, as I've said, it should be expanded to include all impactful public figures, not just those in the so-called "entertainment industry". The discussion about which celebrities should not be on a "stan list" (don't really know what this means tbh) is one for establishing inclusion criteria, not deleting a whole page. One good criterion would be if there is independent RS coverage of the celebrity's statements -- if is adequately covered by significant RS, then it is warranted, exactly in line with WP:DUE. --Calthinus (talk) 17:21, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

- Per Jim Michael. There is no denying that public figures like celebrities are incredibly influential, and that Taylor Swift can make a Tweet about Trump and get 2 million likes from it, but there really has no encyclopedic value to listing every celebrity who have responded to this. There has been an influx of celebrities who have supported the movement, are you going to name every single artist who has a Wikipedia page? From the initial article, we have already mentioned that the support from the entertainment industry has been overwhelming, so it should already give readers a sense of how positive the response was, without needing to list out everything. If we really want to mention celebrities, mention the ones that have done more than what other people had done. But the thing about this is also that we can't really define who did what that is considered more "impactful". Nahnah4 (talk | contribs) 17:16, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Disagree. There is a criterion for notability if not "impact": WP:RS coverage. If the celeb in question is not deemed by any RS to matter, they won't cover it. For example, this means we'd keep Trevor Noah, but remove Hardwick... Noah is covered by RS, Hardwick is sourced only to Instagram. --Calthinus (talk) 17:24, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete and merge Most of the article of composed of inessential, miscellaneous responses that are of little interest or importance to anyone outside of the fanbases of the individuals and organisations making those responses. How Queen's lead guitarist or Cartoon Network responded to this uprising has no correlation to the uprising itself. However, specific elements of it (especially significant responses from prominent African American entertainment figures such as Jamie Foxx and Tessa Thompson) can be merged into other articles about the protests, where necessary.

- Merge to George Floyd protests, while this is just a list of people and organisations vaguely related to the entertainment industry who have commented on the ongoing events, there are several very significant people here whose comments have received a lot of attention, and that is worth covering at the main article to a greater degree than it is already.

PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." DePRODded by article creator who added an in-passing mention and claims notability because this is the first journal publishing in this language. However, that is not a claim for notability. Neither does a GScholar search unearth any evidence for this being "widely cited" as claimed on the article talk page. PROD reason still stands, hence: delete.

Keep Gbooks search shows multiple English-language titles that cite articles from Sámi Dieđalaš Áigečála. The added citation is not a "passing reference"; it's an article on where scholars at Sámi University publish in the context of the school's mission to support Sámi languages; that SDÁ is the most frequent outlet for articles written in Northern Sámi is relevant and indicative of the journal's value. It also demonstrates that, within the context of the Northern Sámi language, that the journal is "known for its publishing of scholarly research" (per WP:NJournals over the past 26 years. I'd also point to this quote from the Research Council of Norway's Evaluation of the Humanities in Norway: Report from Panel 2 – Nordic Languages and Linguistics: "The Sámi-language journal Sámi dieđalaš áigečála plays an important role. Although its dissemination is limited by its language, the fact that an exclusively Sámi-language linguistic journal of high quality exists is necessary for Sámi to be considered a fully-fledged language." Northern Sámi is a small language and therefore will not have hundreds of citations, particularly in English. Clearly SDÁ meets criteria 1 and criteria 3 of WP:NJournals, and it meets criteria 2 if one takes into consideration the size of the language community involved.

- Keep Per the reasoning of Carter. Mccapra (talk) 10:23, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: The reasoning of Carter is incorrect, this journal misses all three criteria of NJournals. Even predatory journals (which this isn't) will collect a smattering of citations; that this journal hasn't gathered more in 26 years of existence is testimony to it being not notable. The Norwegian evaluation is done by the very people who publish in this journal. The size of the language community is irrelevant, of course. As Carter says, " its dissemination is limited". If this journal had even minimal notability, it would have been picked up by at least a few specialized databases, such as the MLA International Bibliography. --Randykitty (talk) 10:36, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: The Research Council of Norway is not the publisher of Sámi Dieđalaš Áigečála, although it does provide funding to the universities that publish it, and the panel who wrote the report (listed on page 77) does not (in an admittedly quick spot check) appear to include anyone who has been published in it. SDÁ is a Level 2 publication in the Norwegian Scientific Index, which is "reserved for the internationally most prestigious publication channels". This alone should meet criteria 1 ("influential in its subject area"). It is clear from Google Scholar that SDÁ is frequently cited in papers that publish in Sámi languages and articles about Sámi language and culture; without access to MLA International Bibliography, it's hard to say how frequently such topics are even covered in that resource, which is why the size of the language community and the corresponding academic interest in it matters in assessing criteria 2. As for criteria 3, the establishment of SDÁ is historically relevant and notable for Sámi scholarship, as noted in the Research Council of Norway report. Carter (talk) 14:36, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I'm not at all convinced. Norway is a small country (population-wise) and the two universities that sponsor this journal are prominently represented in the RCN. --Randykitty (talk) 14:53, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- It sounds like you think the RCN report's process was a self-evaluation. It was not. Each panel consisted of "independent Humanities scholars from a range of European countries." Panel 2 (the one cited above) was made up of scholars from England, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. This was part of a major, multi-year effort to critically assess and benchmark Norwegian scholarship and research. Carter (talk) 15:52, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

- Comment the problem with news, is that it develops, and while 30 seconds later, nothing is notable ... things change. Now that Trump has been denounced by both the Anglican Bishop of Washington, and the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Washington (in the name of Pope John Paul II for the June 1 (and now June 2) visits), has this since become independently notable? I added two references to the article. Nfitz (talk) 20:30, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, but rename
and rewrite. No merge.. This is a notable event. However, it is not really about using the Bible, but about the Photo op session by Donald Trump. Or maybe it should be something like 2020 St. John's Church incident (someone already created it in talk page space). To make the session he ordered to attack people who demonstrated peacefully in DC. That must be emphasized here, although the misuse of the Bible to justify evil actions is also notable. My very best wishes (talk) 20:49, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- So, here is the actual story as described in sources [9]. "The President of the United States delivered a speech about the need to "dominate" the streets in the wake of protests that have arisen following the death of George Floyd, a black man who was held down and killed while in Minneapolis police custody. Then the President, in a transparent attempt to push back on the storyline that he had to be whisked to a bunker below the White House to protect him from protesters in DC last Friday [10], strolled across H Street to St. John's Church and held a Bible aloft shortly after police had forcefully cleared peaceful protesters from Lafayette Park." My very best wishes (talk) 00:26, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
Merge with George Floyd protests as a non-independently notable subject at best. This is footnote-worthy at best. --letcreate123 (talk) 22:47, 2 June 2020 (UTC)- Changing vote to Keep in light of the numerous coverage that the subject has received independently of the George Floyd incident, and the fact that the article has since been expanded to include this coverage. IMO, this was a case of WP:TOOSOON for the article to have been created, but it now meets general notability guidelines. --letcreate123 (talk) 01:55, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep content somewhere. It's relevant content, and should either be part of its own page on the controversial photo op, or merge the content to the "George Floyd protests in Washington, D.C." article. Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:42, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep and move -- to Photo op sessions by Donald Trump (plural now, two different religious institutions) or something more specific. I would have agree with the deletion yesterday--but the continung news suggests to me that this might well be a major issue. abovee.it's a bad title anyway, because the controversy is about his using the church, not specifically about his holding up the bible.

- "Photo-op" may be perceived as editorializing the event. While it was inarguably a photo-op, it also may have represented something much more significant to Trump. We should remain objective and not include that phrase in the title. The topic also more broadly covers law enforcement actions separate from the actual photo op. - Wikmoz (talk) 01:15, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep (but rename). As the sources reflect, this is hugely important. See, e.g., New York Times: "And when the history of the Trump presidency is written, the clash at Lafayette Square may be remembered as one of its defining moments." As of now, the use of violence against the lawfully assembled protesters at Lafayette Park has caused a rift between Trump and the Secretary of Defense (see CNN, Defense chief breaks with Trump on response to protests). This is not a "routine" or ordinary event. This is extraordinary, perhaps unprecedented in recent decades. Neutralitytalk 15:11, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Please also check Special:NewPages for a refresher in what's truly not notable...I won't point any examples out, but they're very easy to find there. Cellodont (talk) 15:17, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- further comment The article as it stands is a perfect example of one the several characteristic kinds of bad WP writing. In this case, it's bloat. When it comes down to it, this is one episode in the larger narrative of the protests, and it should be presented that way. Instead, because of the abundance of writing about the incident, and also, if I may be quite rude about it, because of the propensity of WP authors (I cannot bring myself to say "editors" because editing is the antithesis of what is happening here) to solve all issues by simply writing more, There are way too many words and way too much detail and way too many references; if any actual editing were going on, two-thirds of it would go away as excessive elaboration. And if it were pruned back to that, it would fit in an article on the protests without a problem. But it seems to me that any attempt to do any of this would be met with stiff opposition. Mangoe (talk) 15:31, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- I disagree. There are no excessive details. As currently written, this page is MUCH better than most pages on scientific subjects or history/politics in other countries. This is probably because we have a lot more participants contributing to US politics. My very best wishes (talk) 16:02, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep for now per Capewearer's reasons. If this turns out to become just part of a bigger event that would supersede this visit, then it should be merged. But if not, this article should stay. Vida0007 (talk) 15:56, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. This article is clearly pretty well sourced and has a lot of depth (more than I expected to be honest), enough for it to be its own article. Maybe it made sense when this requested was started, but currently it's the same size as George Floyd protests in Washington, D.C., even though there's not really any extraneous information, so a merge doesn't make sense. -Xbony2 (talk) 17:03, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Content deserves to exist somewhere, and it's too far out of the scope to include in George Floyd protests, which is already 170kB and likely to get longer. userdude 18:07, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. Many sources indicating this is a major, pivotal event of historic importance.It has united Episcopalian clergy in furious denunciation [13], the participation of the Defense Secretary in the photo op resulted in "A former top official at the Pentagon, James Miller, resign(ing)... from his position on a Defense Advisory Board.... his decision was made over Secretary of Defense Mark Esper’s participation in President Donald Trump’s photo op in front of St. John’s Church" [14] and is even splitting his conservative evangelical base the photo op was intended to appeal to[15].

- Keep as now entitled, "Donald Trump visit to St. John's Church", as it is about the actions of President Trump and some in his administration attempting to assert a political position and to persuade public opinion about him, it is not not about the killing or the protesters and, as more is revealed, potentially may reveal significant abuse of power to achieve that objective, so consider it worthy of being a separate article. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 20:52, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep this event clearly documents a pivotal moment in American history where a sitting United State President abuses his/her authority of the military and federal agents to attack and violate the rights of American citizens excercising peaceful and lawful protest before curfew. And why? For a one minute photo-op in front of St. John's church. The DC Police Department were caught unaware and barely notified; and they would have never deployed the kind of tactics the agents used to clear out the protestors, the kind historically proven to escalate, and not de-escalate confronations. The DC Mayor was caught unaware. The church priest were evicted from the premise. This kind of insanity is normally commited by dictatorial regimes in banana republics. --Atvica (talk) 03:21, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. It certainly seems as if it will be a significant event in the Trump presidency, and that alone ought justify its inclusion.

- Comment - This is a classic music inclusionist-redirectionist debate between a classic inclusionist, User:DarklyShadows, and a classic redirectionist, User:Coolmarc. I wrote an essay for a previous debate outlining the conflict between the mostly clear special notability guidelines and the amorphous general notability guideline, User:Robert McClenon/Music Disputes. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:56, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - If we agree that the song will be mentioned in the album track listing, and we agree that the song charted, why not use the relatively clear special notability guideline saying that the song charted?
- Comment - If we agree that the song will be mentioned in the album track listing, and we agree that the song charted, why not increase the nominal size of the encyclopedia by having a title rather than just a redirect?

- Redirect- The problem with the keep argument here is that the special notability guideline specifically says
If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created.
The only ref that passed that is ref 3, which is a self-published source, not a reliable one. The first sentence specifically says thatSongs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent
. The problem is that there is only one self-published source, which is excluded for being trivial. Username6892 18:11, 3 June 2020 (UTC) - Redirect per WP:NSONGS.

Sending to AFD after the page creator removed the PROD notice with the following edit summary:
And the reason for the PROD is:
I agree with Axem Titanium's reason - as per WP:VGSCOPE, numbers 5 through 7, this isn't a place for excessive gameplay details, nor is a place for any unsourced or poorly sourced character lists of any kind, especially when that list is placed on a newly created standalone article. Plus the use of YouTube videos, an official website, and 3 websites (GamingonPhone & Micky isn't even listed on WP:VG/S; VPEsports is) as sources is another red flag as well.
The page creator should've just removed the inappropriate content and that's it - no need to move that content into another article. See also WP:OSE based on the edit summary of that diff. theinstantmatrix (talk) 03:06, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

The races she has competed in are not at a high enough level to satisfy WP:NTRACK. The only race she is mentioned to have won was the Ergebnisse Women's Run Berlin, which given the times of the leading finishers suggests that this was not a "major senior-level international competition".

- You are right about the last three sources - I could not read them. However, none of the titles are about the magazine - they are all serious pieces on pornography. In addition, ff you search Google, there is nothing about the magazine. I suggest you provide us with some proof that we can all see that this subject is notable. Rogermx (talk) 15:50, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Looking at the later Russell source, I can free preview about 18 pages in the section this citation says this magazine is mentioned in. Likely, the magazine is mentioned as the source of something close to the hundredth photo examined. The section itself is about the photos and any accompanying texts, with sources mentioned as part of academic rigour and proof that they are appearing in circulated magazines. Actually, control-F lets me find any mentions of 'Shackled' even on pages that can't be previewed. This is in fact the case. The discussion is about how real violence is endorsed from the likely fact that no makeup artist would take the time to fake the bruises depicted in the image. Shackled is mentioned exactly one time in listing the source of the imagine. (Well, the magazine is listed one time, the word comes up twice more in the context of images of shackled women, and once more in the books index to find where the term is mentioned should one have only access to the physical copy.) And, notably, the magazine is not mentioned in the earlier section "Circulation Rates for Selected Pornographic Magazines", and even a mention there wouldn't demonstrate notability so much as common circulation.Nic T R (talk) 08:13, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. From the comments above and my read-through of the Prostitution and Pornography, it seems that this magazine is not notable, and in fact has garnered discussion (if it can even be said to have "garnered discussion") only for being an ordinary example of a widespread phenomenon. The description in Prostitution and Pornography seems particularly telling: it is introduced as being "one of roughly thirty-five such magazines distributed by Lyndon Distributors" (p. 267). In order words, nothing sets it apart except that it happened to have a catchy name or a relevant headline for this author's commentary on pornography. ~ oulfis 🌸(talk) 05:59, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- To clarify -- I was able to access the entirety of Prostitution and Pornography and read both sections where the author discusses Shackled at some length (p. 267-8 and p. 287). In both cases the actual discussion is focused on how to interpret pornographic images of sexual submission, for which Shackled provides an "illustrative" (p. 286) example, but nothing about the magazine itself is presented as noteworthy. ~ oulfis 🌸(talk) 06:08, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

- Hi Muboshgu, would you be willing to comment based on the additional sourcing that was found, and has either been integrated into the article or is collected on the talk page? There has been quite regular local coverage throughout her entire political career (since at least ~2010), and this coverage expanded to the state level during the 2016/2018 elections and more recently to the national level with her primary win. For this reason, the subject seems to easily pass BASIC. Is there a reason that standard wouldn't apply? Am I misinterpreting the BASIC standard? Thanks for your thoughts--I'm fairly new to deletion discussions, and so a fuller discussion would be useful in helping me evaluate this sort of thing in the future.

- Redirect to 2020 United States Senate election in Oregon as a usual and appropriate outcome for candidates running for U.S. Senate. No prejudice against recreation if the subject wins in November or if there is sustained international/national coverage of the subject's embrace of QAnon, which would push her to the Christine O'Donnell territory of notability. --Enos733 (talk) 21:09, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to 2020 United States Senate election in Oregon, there is significant coverage not in local media, but that coverage mostly just seems to be a brief flurry around her being an insane conspiracy theorist, meaning that she fails WP:BLP1E. There is no indication that it will be lasting. If she continues to get coverage to the same degree she has recently, the article can always be recreated. Also, the nominating statement is incorrect, she did not walk back her comments and is still clearly a QAnon cultist. Devonian Wombat (talk) 00:54, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. If this needs to be revisited in a year or two, fine. But she made national attention for her beliefs. Definitely more than the average losing Senate candidate will get.

I still don't see any reason why this can't be a redirect to the election page just because the election has generated coverage, especially because this is a particularly US-centric problem.

- Delete Two years ago I created an article for Steve Watkins who had narrowly won the Republican congressional primary in KS-2. He had considerably more notability and vastly more campaign funding than perennial Oregon candidate Perkins, but the article about him was deleted. After Watkins narrowly won the general election, a new article was created with considerably less reliably sourced material. The article here contains numerous errors of fact, and it's not worth fixing. There's absolutely nothing notable about Perkins. Many others hold to the same conspiracy theory that she does, although they are more than those who claim they were abducted by space aliens. She got about 175,00 votes running against other nobodies in the U.S. Senate primary, a statewide race of course, up from the less-than-3% she got in the 2014 Senate primary. Only about 330,000 total votes were cast in the 2020 Republican primary for the nomination. In another simultaneous statewide primary, the Oregon Democratic 2020 presidential primary, had about 600,000 voters cast ballots and about the same in the hotly contested Democratic race for Secretary of State.[18] Merkley, the uncontested nominee for reelection in 2020, is immensely popular. He won the 2014 contest by about 250,000 votes. Perkins will cascade back into obscurity on November 3rd. Activist (talk) 08:11, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep per Jlevi and Kingofthedead. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 11:33, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS, without prejudice against recreation in the future if circumstances change. As always, candidates are not automatically entitled to keep Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates — and the test that makes one particular candidate more special than other candidates is not just the ability to show that extralocal coverage has started to exist, it is that the extralocal coverage has exploded to the point that she already passes the ten year test for enduring significance.
Basically, the way to demonstrate that a candidate is a special case who deserves an article just for being a candidate is to perform the following thought experiment: assume that she loses the election, and then dies the very next day so that she never has any chance to accomplish anything more notable than running for office and losing. Then ask yourself the question, "given those assumptions, has her candidacy already made her so highly famous that she will still be a household name in 2030?" If you can't convincingly answer "yes" to that question, then what you have is not a candidate who has become permanently notable, but a temporarily newsy WP:BLP1E. Bearcat (talk) 15:11, 24 May 2020 (UTC)- It’s interesting to draw the line there. Is Vivian Davis Figures or Roxanne Conlin still a household name? Not really, no. And honestly very very few people in politics are big enough that they’ll still be talked about a lot outside their home state in 10 years. State representatives are often pretty anonymous yet they still get an article by default while someone who’s a major party candidate for a very high office who’s received a lot of national media attention isn’t?

- Strong keep. WP:NOTNEWS isn't a reason to delete the article. The point of NOTNEWS can be summed up by this: "However, not all verifiable events are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia." Or, in other words, judgment is required. So let's use judgment here. Perkins isn't just a "candidate" for a local office or even for a Congressional seat. She is the nominated candidate (having won a contested primary) of a major U.S. political party for the office of United States Senator. And if you do a Google search on her name, restricted to news sites, there are 14,500 results; she is getting huge media coverage. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 18:54, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- John Broughton,
She is the nominated candidate (having won a contested primary) of a major U.S. political party for the office of United States Senator.
That still fails NPOL. And see WP:GHITS as well. This is the coverage a candidate for office gets, and candidates are not notable for being candidates. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:06, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Muboshgu,WP:GHITS is an essay. And even that says "... searches using Google's specialty tools, such as Google Books, Google Scholar, and Google News, are more likely to return reliable sources that can be useful in improving articles than the default Google web search." That's why I used a Google News search rather than searching all of the web. As for WP:NPOL, that includes this: "The following are presumed to be notable: ... Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage." Perkins has received significant press coverage. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 00:21, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- Every candidate in every election can always claim to have received "significant press coverage" for the purposes of claiming that they pass WP:GNG and are therefore "exempted" from having to pass NPOL. So the test that an unelected candidate has to pass to get a Wikipedia article is not just "does press coverage of the campaign exist?" — it is "since every candidate can always show some evidence of press coverage without necessarily being of enduring public interest, does this candidate's press coverage establish her as much more special than every other candidate, in some way that passes the ten year test for enduring significance?"

- The test that a candidate has to clear, in order to earn a special exemption from our normal consensus on the non-notability of candidates, is not "does coverage of the candidacy exist" — every candidate in every election can always answer that question in the affirmative, so our normal consensus would be inherently meaningless if the existence of campaign coverage were all it took to get a candidate around it. Rather, the question that has to be answered is "does her coverage demonstrate a credible reason to believe that people will still care about this in 2030?" — and a reason to answer that question in the affirmative has yet to be shown.

- "Her party's nominee for a major election" is not a notability claim that gets a person into Wikipedia. The notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable office, not just running for one — even presidential candidates aren't exempted from having to satisfy NPOL just because they happen to be candidates.

- It's not our job to be a "resource" database of every single person whose name happens to pop up in the current news cycle — we even have a rule that explicitly says we are WP:NOTNEWS. Our job is to look past the daily news and figure out what information people are still going to need ten years from now. Literally every candidate in every election everywhere can always show campaign coverage, and thus claim that he or she passes GNG and is thus exempted from actually having to pass NPOL — so if that were how it worked, NPOL itself would be inherently meaningless, we would always have to keep an article about every single person who was ever a candidate for any political office regardless of whether they won or lost, and then we're not an encyclopedia anymore but just a worthless advertorial database of campaign brochures for unsuccessful candidates. So the test for whether or not a candidate warrants an article just for being a candidate is not "does she have campaign coverage in the here and now?" — it is "will anything we can write about her right now still matter to anybody in 2030?"

- A couple responses - first, there is a lot of value assumptions in "her party's nominee for a major election" that our community has frequently rejected. It is not our role to attempt to define what is a "major election" or even a "major political party nominee." And, if the question is whether people want to know who a candidate is, there are other sources for that information (and importantly the basic information about a candidate for the U.S. Senate can always be incorporated into the page about the election (or perhaps at QAnon). The second concern about political candidates is that there is a tendency for the page to fall into a state of promotional material. This is often because editors are often supporters of the candidate (especially the less known they are) and can turn quickly into repositories of political positions or endorsements and may violate WP:NPOV, because there are few people watching the page to patrol against those violations of policy. --Enos733 (talk) 22:30, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
