WP:BEFORE requires a reasonable attempt to locate suitable sources before an article is nominated for deletion. Has this been attempted, or are you saying that there are currently not enough good sources cited in the article? That wouldn't be a proper basis for deletion. Presumably if the league existed and competed, there should be some local newspaper coverage, at the very least, though it might not all be available online. It would be inappropriate to delete the article unless sources can't be found: the present state of sourcing in articles does not establish the notability or lack of notability of topics.

The result was no consensus‎. After several relists, I cannot see a definitive agreement whether there are sufficient sources to improve the article. I can't suggest a compromise such a merge or a redirect as nobody asked for that, so I have to close this as "no consensus". The accusations of sock-puppetry are unhelpful, if you want to do that, WP:SPI is thataway. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:12, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Southern Pacific Class P-8

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

While some of the individual train engines in this class appear relatively notable for their careers and survival as museum pieces, the class itself does not share this notability. Most references here rely on passing mentions of the class when describing individual engines, while the two references that might contain greater detail on the class itself are both fairly old self-published texts.

Keep: @27.33.233.138 has a point, he has clearly spent lots of hours and tons of research into this article. @Trainsandotherthings also has a point that Locomotive classes are typically notable, and he says that it's rare for them to fail GNG entirely. Well, I think that it sounds impossible for locomotive classes to fail GNG entirely. 220.235.238.29 (talk) 20:32, 14 November 2023 (UTC) — 220.235.238.29 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  We can't WP:SOCKSTRIKE on a mere hunch, as was done in this edit. I've reverted that. The tag as an SPA can stay, though if they're an IP editor on a dynamic range (as the IP is), then we wouldn't necessarily see edits in that specific IP's history prior to a few days ago. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 21:16, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  The two IP addresses are the same user. There's a AN/I discussion about them. If they were logged in it could be taken to SPI but you don't take multiple IP address of someone who doesn't have a account to SPI. TarnishedPath^talk 03:55, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It's clearly got notability, plus if you see that there is sourcing issues (if you get what I am trying to say), you could just add the multiple issues template and then we will fix it.

- Locomotive classes are typically notable, and it's quite rare that they fail GNG entirely - books on trains are an entire industry onto themselves (and plenty of books have been written specifically on the Southern Pacific). That being said, my books are almost entirely about more modern locomotives so I can't speak to the notability of this specific class enough to make a formal ruling either way. I disagree with "it's clearly got notability", as the sources are about specific locomotives, not the class as a whole, and notability is not inherited. If the notability were clear, this article wouldn't have ended up at AfD in the first place. What we need are examples of significant coverage of this class (not just individual locomotives within the class) in secondary sources to show notability. Appealing to emotion ("this sounds unfair") will not be sufficient. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:25, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Not notable enough; Google Books shows three books written by the same author, but it mentions the 2472. Otherwise, no sources are available online. Toadette ^{(let's chat together)} 06:37, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  - Brian Solomon is a reputable and well-published author, I own a few of his books myself. Assuming good faith that the books do in fact give significant coverage, that would be a strong argument towards a keep. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:00, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - I agree with Trainsandotherthings—butI do worry that the reference does not actually verify the content.

Delete and Salt. I was unable to find that WP:GNG was met. This article also shows signs off WP:REFBOMB that I've seen in other articles in the last hour and I have concerns that if/when it is deleted someone may attempt to revive it in manipulative manners despite there being no notability. Refer to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Australian railroad IP for details. TarnishedPath^talk 08:21, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I can't recall any other instance of a locomotive class (and not even a subtle sub-class) article getting to AfD, let alone deleted. Especially not when two of them were considered for preservation.
I cannot see any virtue to either of the delete !votes. The idea that adding citations is somehow now a problem on WP, let alone the ludicrous idea that Brian Solomon isn't a reliable source? This is not how we used to work, back when we used to build things. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:26, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- It just sounds very stupid to delete something that is aimed at an entire class of locomotives. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE NEW AND JUST GOT CREATED! 220.235.238.29 (talk) 08:21, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

      I'm not sure if you're trolling or just being willfully ignorant, but either way it's a bad look and I suggest you stop before people start calling into question your competence to continue serving as an administrator. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:19, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If Solomon is a reliable source, xe gives this subject short shrift in the books that I can read. The 2009 Steam Power book gives this 3 sentences, one on page 121, one on page 123, and one on page 125. The 2005 Passenger Trains book has a sentence on page 27 and a sentence on page 106. But it looks like this is one of those articles where there are a multitude of such little sources, and the Solomon sources that I've read check out and support the content. I even found a couple of sources not cited, such as ISBN 9780870950124 which might contain yet more little bits. I'm not sure what documentation being from the 1960s has to do with things, when the subject dates from the first half of the 20th century. In my writing world we call that nearly contemporary sourcing. Guy L. Dunscomb's credentials, in particular, are that he was a railway historian and photographer who actually worked for Southern Pacific. By my reading, as also a member of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society and the Southern Pacific Historical & Technical Society, Dunscomb's credentials as a subject expert are better than Solomon's. So I agree with Andy Dingley here. Uncle G (talk) 05:08, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The article is so incredibly empty that the articles for the 2467 and 2472 have way more information, this article in general doesn't have much information to warrant being kept around. BigSneeze444 (talk) 19:55, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. There is some coverage of the P-8 class in Classic Locomotives: Steam and Diesel Power in 700 Photographs on pages 122-127. Ordinarily, 5 pages would be an easy example of WP:SIGCOV, but this book is full of pictures that take up most of the pages. Still, there's probably ~13 sentences in the source that can be used to build upon this. My bigger problem in evaluating this is that much of the coverage seems to be in print sources I lack access to. I will opine the Brain Solomon's booksthat are published by Voyageur Press seem to be standard sorts of popular press books; they don't appear to be self-published. Classic Locomotives: Steam and Diesel Power in 700 Photographs, for example, even lists a staff editor (Dennis Pernu) in its credits. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 18:40, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Brian Solomon is a well-known author as far as books on American railroads go, and if this weren't created by an editor with such a poor track record I don't think people would be calling things into doubt like this. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:21, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article appears to have been created by an IP and accepted at AfC. I'm not sure what poor track record is getting at here.

In any case, I agree that Solomon's books published by Voyageur Press seem to be reliable sources here. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 21:08, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Red-tailed hawk, this particularly IP is the subject of discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Australian railroad IP. It has created a number of articles which feature WP:REFBOMBing. TarnishedPath^talk 23:17, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Solomon's references are RS, but very trivial. I think I'd rather have the individual locomotive articles kept (for the preserved examples), than simply a bare-bones example of the class of locomotive. Oaktree b (talk) 02:20, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I can only find [1] mentions one locomotive that's been preserved, I don't think it's enough to keep the article. The class gets mentions when the history of the SP (Southern Pacific) is mentioned, but only briefly. The books mentioned in the article as sourcing are fine, one is only a series of photographs that mentions the class. Oaktree b (talk) 02:18, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Best I could find was this [2], basically a roster of every locomotive the company owned. The kind of stuff foamers (what we railfans call ourselves), foam at the mouth over, but nothing we can use to build a wikipedia article. Oaktree b (talk) 02:28, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are musuems in Oregon and in California that have preserved examples, but with less than a paragraph each, coverage just isn't enough here. Oaktree b (talk) 02:30, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Sourcing is in adequate both in the article and what I can see available. Others have engaged in assessment of sources in good faith and do not find them sufficient. In the absence of better sources by those arguing for keep, I have to support the argument for deletion. — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:32, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify - This page was nominated for deletion withinn hours of going live, and there was no attempt to discuss notability on the talk page prior to that. The nom. statement then says it lacks significant in depth coverage, and so it might be worth having a read of WP:DEMOLISH. Per that essay, not happy with deletion here. However there isn't any clear evidence that this person is notable. It may be WP:TOOSOON. All the same, if the page creator wants to continue working on the article in the belief they can demonstrate notability, I believe they should be allowed to do so (with the advice that they should concentrate on notability first to avoid wasting their time).

Nebraska–Texas football rivalry

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

Doesn't appear to be a substantial rivalry. The two schools have a very limited history with each other (were only Big 12 conference for a little over a decade in separate divisions). Cited sources also use the word "rivalry" hesitantly. funplussmart (talk) 21:31, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not finding the needed depth of coverage that we should have for a true rivalry. Passing mentions not enough, especially since other factors weigh against this being a notable rivalry: (i) semi-regular play limited to the period 1996-2010 (four earlier games, zero later games), (ii) lack of trophy or named rivalry, (iii) limited marquee match-ups (zero games with both teams ranked in top 10 and five games with both in top 20), and (iv) lack of geographic proximity (not border states, 820 miles from Lincoln to Austin). Cbl62 (talk) 01:28, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete largely per Cbl62’s argument above. Fails GNG with very little SIGCOV of this meeting as a “rivalry” or notable series. Though they have a handful of top-25 meetings and played in three Big 12 championships, two teams simultaneously being competitive for any stretch of time does not make them rivals.

This article was translated from the Swedish Wikipedia in 2013 and has existed as a more-or-less unchanged stub since then. I tried looking for other sources, but only managed to find a couple through Google Scholar;[3] these only reference it in passing, without much detail, as part of broader sections on the Biennio Rosso.

As this article doesn't appear to meet our notability guidelines, I propose redirecting it to our article on the Biennio Rosso, where sourced information about it already exists. There's nothing in this worth merging. Grnrchst (talk) 20:15, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hospital trust

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

Low-value article. "Hospital trust" is not a legally or otherwise defined term, all trusts which run hospitals are either NHS trusts or NHS foundation trusts. Single cited source also is not specific to the term.

Contains no information of value that isn't already covered at NHS trust and therefore does not even need merging, simple delete and perhaps redirect will suffice.

Article can essentially be summed up "a hospital trust is a NHS trust which runs hospital services".

Harold de Gruchy

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

Fails WP:GNG. This player was previously deemed notable under the WP:NAFL for having played one Victorian Football League game, but this SNG no longer exists after WP:NSPORTS2022. All references in the article at time of nomination are database, Holmesby & Main (where all players have at least a cursory entry for completeness - inclusion alone is not SIGCOV), or public newspaper death notices (notices only, not obituaries - again not SIGCOV). A google search for Harold de Gruchy Melbourne shows up database and wikis only [7]. Among those, the Demonwiki (Melbourne Football Club fan history wiki) [8] includes links to a total of two news articles which mention his existence as a footballer, and two funeral notices; the only descriptions of him as a footballer were to note in one sentence that he was from Cumloden College and that he did not have a good game in his sole game [9] – certainly insufficient description of the subject to constitute SIGCOV or contribute to the meeting of GNG. 1899-1901 newspaper search for "de gruchy football melbourne" shows a couple of routine references to playing school football for Cumloden College, but nothing beyond WP:ROUTINE and nothing which would exceed the requirements of WP:YOUNGATH [10]. My conclusion is that multiple secondary independent sources do not exist and shall never exist. If not deletion, then I am of the opinion that this article could be redirected to List of Melbourne Football Club players#1900s consistent with previous AfDs for similar situations, e.g. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Graham_Kemp.

Keep. I mean of course all the coverage simply focuses on his junior football, the sole game he played in the VFL and his death. He died less than two months after his first VFL game aged 20. Those are the only things the coverage of him could reasonably focus on. Jenks24 (talk) 11:21, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I also disagree that coverage in a specialised encyclopedia such as by Holmesby & Main does constitute (or at the very least contribute to) significant coverage. I refer you to Wikipedia's first pillar: "Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers" (emphasis mine). Jenks24 (talk) 11:27, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Melbourne Football Club players#1900s. No coverage beyond routine birth and death notices and the absolute barest of mentions in match reports. I've got the most recent edition of The Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers and can quote de Gruchy's entry in its entirety: DE GRUCHY, HAROLD (MELB.) ― 1901, 1 game, 0 goals. (b. 9 Feb 1881). That's not significant coverage. – Teratix ₵ 11:58, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Wow, a player who died in 1901 doesn't have a plethora of sources on the internet via a Google search? How shocking! Honestly, this is a perfect example of why the deemed notability SNG guidelines existed.

Keep. Nom fails to explain why this needs to be deleted and in fact acknowledges that alternatives to deletion exist. We have here verified content found in a specialised encyclopaedia.

Article does not cite any sources nor assert notability.

Comment Following Jeraxmoira's excellent efforts regarding adding independent sources, I am in a dilemma as to whether to revert back to Weak keep. One positive thing that can come out of AfD discussions is that it insentivises people to improve articles to try to get them retained and this is a perfect example of this. Now feel that the article now has sufficient independent references to mean that this article would no longer need to be moved to draftspace as I think it's now unlikely that further improvements can be made. Ultimately I think it comes down to whether former stations that had broadcast for temporary periods are seen as notable enough to have an article.

There is a ton of coverage about Muslim Community Radio (2MFM) in Sydney, Australia, which continues to operate (at least 52 hits on ProQuest including duplicates and not all in-depth, but there are enough articles where Muslim Community Radio is the main focus). If this article is kept, and an article for 2MFM is created, this article would need to be renamed (possibly "Muslim Community Radio (UK)") and "Muslim Community Radio" would either become a disambiguation page, or 2MFM in Australia could become primary.

Charmander

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

I realize this is going to ruffle some people, but hear me out: the sources that are there are, with the exception of one, are all extremely minor, many less than a few words in passing. Heck there's one in there about a Pokemon toy that's trying to claim it's about Charmander when the toy itself is minor in the story it's about. That's the sort of WP:REFBOMB-ing we're dealing with. There's just no notability, even without considering Charizard by comparison, who still fills in the role of the original trio's ensemble cast.

WP:BEFORE also didn't turn up anything of value. The book "Japanese Influence on American Children's Television" offers a recap of Charmander to Charizard's role in the anime, but that can be worked into Charizard proper for the same results, especially the design critique of it going from cute to fearsome. It's not enough to prop up the article alongside the Polygon source when all the bad sourcing is removed. Kung Fu Man (talk) 15:34, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Times (54038) Jan. 2, 1958, p. 6.) Also several shorter bits of Times coverage at the same time (Court Circular Jan. 11, 1958 The Times (54046) p. 8 & Court Circular Feb. 13, 1958 The Times (54074) p. 10). He received a Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in the Queen's Birthday Honours (The Birthday Honours. June 12, 1958 The Times (54175), p. 4). His retirement is briefly covered (News in Brief. Friday, Mar. 23, 1962. The Times (55347), p. 8). Via Newspapers.com -- Decent (6-para) article in Times Colonist (Japanese not anti-British. 28 Dec 1937, Tue ·Page 2). Also covered in The Toronto Star (3 paras. Sees Japan's people friendly to Britain. 29 Dec 1937, Wed ·Page 20). Decent article on his marriage in The Toronto Star (seven paragraphs; 29 Dec 1937, Wed ·Page 26). Article on him warning people to leave Japan in Panama City News-Herald (ten+ paras. 21 Jan 1941, Tue ·Page 1).

Keep: Music in wrestling as a whole is notable, and this article serves as a good starting point. Potential original research aside, it is not enough to merit at WP:TNT. Here are some sources directly dealing with the more theatrical professional wrestling:
- Pruitt, Cenate (2019). "Get In The Ring: Professional Wrestling and Heavy Metal Music in Parallel." The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology
- Davis, L. R. (2012). "Cultivating Identity and the Music of Ultimate Fighting." Bowling Green State University.

- Bessman, J. (1999). "Wrestling Mania Grips Koch, Tommy Boy." Billboard
However, I would also recommend moving the article to simply "Music in wrestling" to incorporate sources such as this:
- Brody, Bina N. (2023). "Competing Bodies and Subversive Songs: Negotiating a Changing Tradition in Senegal’s National Wrestling Music." University of Pennsylvania.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

Cunard (talk) 00:45, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cunard They seem very biographical and non-secondary to me. They just list out the career of the subject; per WP:SECONDARY, no "analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources" can be seen. Timothytyy (talk) 01:04, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Additional criteria says: "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included."

Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Any biography says: "3. The person has an entry in a country's standard national biographical dictionary (e.g. the Dictionary of National Biography)." Biographical dictionary lists reference publications titled Who's Who as an example.

I consider inclusion in Chinese Communist Who's Who (published by a Taiwanese publisher) and A Dictionary of Modern Chinese Persons (published by a Japanese publisher) to be strong indicators of notability for a Chinese diplomat. Each of these sources is a synthesis of facts from primary or secondary sources that discuss the subject's biographical background. The authors of these books had to decide which facts were important enough to include in the subject's biography.

Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources says:

Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources, and to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources. Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and avoid novel interpretations of primary sources.

You added a large chunk of undigested information, but you still didn't provide anything that meets the secondary source requiement, i.e. the requiement of GNG. You said these sources are "strong indicators of notability for a Chinese diplomat as each of these sources are synthesis of facts from primary or secondary sources", so you consider them to be notable. Are you able to find these secondary sources? If not, I don't see why it passes GNG or ANYBIO. Timothytyy (talk) 03:21, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see no reason to dismiss either the Who's Who or A Dictionary of Modern Chinese Persons as being primary. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:03, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Never said they were primary, I believe they are tertiary. However the tertiary sources didn't provide any sources to their claims, so we aren't reaching any secondary sources, which I believe is the only type of source that helps an article pass GNG. Timothytyy (talk) 04:09, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For both books, the Google Books snippet view does not show whether the entries cited any primary or secondary sources. The existence of any additional sources is immaterial since these two sources are sufficient.

Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources says (bolding added for emphasis): "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources, and to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources. Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and avoid novel interpretations of primary sources."

Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Any biography says: "3. The person has an entry in a country's standard national biographical dictionary (e.g. the Dictionary of National Biography)."

The "no original research" policy and the "notability for people" guideline demonstrate that these two national biographical dictionaries are perfectly acceptable in establishing notability.

Cunard (talk) 05:46, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, it is incorrect to treat the two books as a country's standard national biographical dictionaries as they are not even published by (not even in) the PRC or the CPC, the country which the subject comes from and serves. Therefore, it doesn't pass the ANYBIO criterion. Secondly, even when tertiary sources are needed, it doesn't make an article pass GNG. GNG criterion which you provided: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Therefore, the two tertiary sources you provided do not contribute to GNG since they are not secondary, so BASIC is failed. Thus, all BIO criteria are failed. Timothytyy (talk) 06:01, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That Dai Shiqi was covered in "Chinese persons" dictionaries published by Japanese and Taiwanese publishers is very significant in establishing notability, even more so than if he was covered in a "Chinese persons" dictionary published by a Chinese publisher. It means he received international coverage.

It is unclear whether Chinese Communist Who's Who and A Dictionary of Modern Chinese Persons are secondary sources or tertiary sources. But the policy Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources is very clear in saying that both secondary sources and tertiary sources can be used to establish notability.

If the biographical dictionaries are tertiary sources, Cunard (talk) 08:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, tertiary sources can help establish notability, but according to GNG and BASIC, articles must have secondary sources to guarantee basic (i.e. presumed) notability. If we don't have secondary sources but only have 2 books which we don't know if fact-checking work is done due to the lack of references in them, we cannot ensure reliablity. For example, encyclopedias which doesn't list out references supporting their claims cannot provide notability as its accuracy can be challenged. This is why notability guidelines, e.g. GNG and BASIC, emphasize on secondary sources. The sources you provided just seem to be a biographical introduction to the subject by gathering information about the subject from secondary sources, so I believe it is a tertiary source. According to FAILN, anything that fails the notability criteria shall to be merged or deleted; as NOR is not an N guideline and it fails GNG due to the lack of secondary sources, I suggest a merge to the lists provided by Folly Mox, by gathering info provided by the sources, or a deletion.

GNG requires reliable secondary sources. If you believe a discussion on whether the sources are secondary or tertiary is necessary and my elaborations above are too simple, controversial, or problematic, I would be pleased to present my views more detailly. Thank you very much. Timothytyy (talk) 08:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The national dictionaries are reliable sources from reputable publishers. There is no requirement for reliable sources to cite sources in order to be considered reliable.

The sources you provided just seem to be a biographical introduction to the subject by gathering information about the subject from secondary sources, so I believe it is a tertiary source. – it is unclear whether the national dictionaries are secondary sources or tertiary sources. If the national dictionaries are synthesising information about the subject from secondary sources, the subject has received secondary source coverage. If the national dictionaries are synthesising information about the subject from primary sources, the national dictionaries are secondary sources.

Cunard (talk) 09:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't get why you mention the sources as "national dictionaries". Also, "if the national dictionaries are synthesising information about the subject from secondary sources, the subject has received secondary source coverage" is just a very rough assumption, you don't even know whether the sources of these publications are 1. independent, 2. reliable, and 3. provide detailed coverage. Timothytyy (talk) 09:20, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If the sources are not independent, they are primary sources. If the sources are not reliable sources, the national dictionaries would not have relied on them. If the sources do not provide detailed coverage, then per Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria multiple sources can be combined to establish notability.

The consensus at Wikipedia talk:Notability/Archive 73#Tertiary sources is that tertiary sources are perfectly fine in establishing notability. Editors cited the policy Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources, which reflects this already.

Cunard (talk) 09:31, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, according to PRIMARY, primary sources may be independent, and according to SECONDARY, secondary sources are not necessarily independent. Secondly, I still don't understand why the sources about Chinese people written by non-governmental Taiwanese and Japanese people are considered as national biographies, and why reliability is assumed. Timothytyy (talk) 09:44, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected but maintain that these national biographies are reliable sources that can be used to establish notability regardless of whether they are secondary or tertiary sources based on Wikipedia talk:Notability/Archive 73#Tertiary sources and Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources. I consider Institute of International Relations, National Chengchi University [zh] and Kazankai [ja] to be reputable publishers. They are national biographies because of their scope. Cunard (talk) 09:52, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(If you believe that these 2 sources are rooted with reliability, please find further sources that is secondary, which I would say is most preferred, which can conduct fact-checking.) Assuming their reliability, they are still encyclopedic and doesn't develop anything except the rigid history of the person, so I believe they are tertiary. I still root on general notability guidelines, I.e. GNG and BASIC. If the discussion didn't change the wordings of GNG and BASIC, the most basic guidelines, at all, I wouldn't say it is accepted by the community. Consensus isn't that strong after all. Timothytyy (talk) 10:13, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dai Shiqi was a Chinese ambassador in the 1980s and 1990s to Equatorial Guinea and Peru. It is very difficult to find sources for a Chinese ambassador whose tenure was in the pre-Internet era in South America and West Africa. He could have been covered by pre-Internet, offline Chinese, Peru, or Equatorial Guinea sources, but those are very hard to find. What we have is significant coverage in two national biographies published by a reputable Taiwanese publisher and a reputable Japanese publisher. I consider that sufficient to establish notability. Cunard (talk) 10:29, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, but I cannot see any possible significant events which may bring the subject SIGCOV. Even if there is, they might not be reliable.

Wikipedia:Canvassing#Appropriate notification says: "The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions—for example, if notices are sent to editors who previously supported deleting an article, then identical notices should be sent to those who supported keeping it."
The editor who proposed the article for deletion is the AfD nominator so is already aware of the discussion and does not need to be pinged. The only other involved editor is the one who removed the proposed deletion. ~~I noticed that the article creator has not been notified so I will notify them on their talk page.~~The article creator archived the notifications.
I routinely have pinged editors who have removed the proposed deletion from articles in the subsequent AfDs and will continue doing so. If you continue to think that this is canvassing, I recommend that you post at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents to receive input from the community about whether they agree. I am fine with my actions being open to community scrutiny. Cunard (talk) 01:31, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is better to err on the side of caution and not notify other editors of AfDs. LibStar (talk) 01:33, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think that concerned editors should be notified so long as the canvassing guideline is not violated. AfDs frequently have few participants, so informing concerned editors helps lessen that problem. Cunard (talk) 01:38, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. [I was already aware of this AfD before Cunard's ping] Cunard's sources do look sufficiently in-depth to meet GNG to me. Generally I'd prefer to keep articles on Chinese topics as we have a real problem with systematic bias but I won't issue a formal vote in the circumstances.

I'm not sure where to put this, so I'll let ReplyTool figure it out. Feel free to refactor.
Cunard's sources both seem reliable and independent, and each contributes to notability. My initial BEFORE was not adequate, so I'll look again on my own later (hopefully today?). I would translate the title of the first source as Who's Who in Communist China, and note that google translate guesses the language of the second source incorrectly. It's Japanese, but with a very high proportion of kanji, indicating little verb conjugation and few other particles. It's probably written in a very brief style like a list rather than full regular prose sentences (I can't read Japanese). Google translate does a little better job with that one if you feed it the correct starting language.
Hoping to get back to this soon; already switched to keep above. Folly Mox (talk) 19:01, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for reviewing the sources, for the better translation for the first source's title, and for the correction about the second source being in Japanese with a high proportion of kanji. I've fixed updated the citation templates in my comment. It was difficult to find significant coverage for Dai Shiqi (simplified Chinese: 戴诗琪; traditional Chinese: 戴詩琪), so it is unsurprising your WP:BEFORE did not find them. To find these sources, I searched for "Dai Shiqi", "戴诗琪" (his simplified Chinese name), and "戴詩琪" (his traditional Chinese name) and went through several dozen Google Books results that were passing mentions before I found these two sources.
Cunard (talk) 10:35, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think this barely scrapes by based on Cunard's sources. It might be considered borderline, but I'm inclined to err on the side of keeping in this case because, as mentioned above, most sources will be offline or otherwise hard to find for a diplomat who was active before the 21st century. —Mx.

For example regarding Huang, I found that there's a fair amount of coverage in Peruvian media.

180app, do the Peruvian sources provide significant coverage of Huang Minhui?

From a Google Translate of this page: "The Peruvian Network for a Globalization with Equity – RedGE is an inter-institutional alliance of non-governmental development organizations, unions and social movements that promote the generation of an alternative vision of a national project that promotes conditions of equity in the globalization process."
I see no indication that this source is unreliable, but I am not familiar with this source. If it is a reliable source, then it provides very detailed coverage about the subject and is a strong source.
The source notes: "El caso más interesante es el de la ex Embajadora en el Perú, Huang Minhui quien fue destacada como cuadro político de Pekín en el segundo semestre de 2011, durante los primeros meses de gobierno de Ollanta Humala, hasta que en julio de 2015, tras jubilarse de una larga carrera diplomática, fue reemplazada ... Huang Minhui estuvo vinculada a este lado del planeta desde la década del setenta. Fue testigo de excepción de importantes procesos como las primeras reformas [long list of events] ...

There is further coverage. From Google Translate "... Which was enhanced by the Strategic Partnership Integral of 2013, in which Huang Minhui was a key player." and "... She defended Shougang's labor policy at times when there was a strong labor conflict ..."

If Bedoya 2016 is reliable, Huang Minhui is very close to passing Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says, "multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". I am striking my support for "redirect" but am not supporting "keep" yet since she is not over the notability line yet. Are there any additional sources that cover her? It is fine for those sources to provide less significant biographical coverage since multiple sources can be combined.

The result was merge‎ to 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. There is coverage, but not enough to sustain a separate article in the face of NOTNEWS and NOPAGE. No one is arguing the massacre should not be covered, the question was where. With respect to the target, noting, however, that should editorial consensus change to Ein HaShlosha as a target, that is fine. The consensus is not to maintain a standalone, however there is not a particular consensus on a target. Star Mississippi 18:47, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ein HaShlosha massacre

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

As with several other pages on less prominent components of the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, this page is unnecessary, not notable as a standalone event and should be deleted or merged back into the parent, which still only holds 24kB of readable prose, yet has been a source for far too many unnecessary child articles. This page's issues are compounded by its poor quality sourcing and fuzzy detail - as the page itself notes, the facts "are largely unknown" - and Haaretz stands alone as the only WP:RSP in sight.

Oppose -

-The massacre has been featured in international press.

-The massacre is worth mention. In 2023 Israel-Hamas war page, there is ALWAYS talk of making new articles since the article is to big. Therefore we should not delete pages created on the subject that take off some of the load from the main article.

-This page exists in 9 different languages on Wikipedia.

Regarding merger, Talk:Ein HaShlosha massacre#Proposed merge of 2023 Israel–Hamas war with Ein HaShlosha Massacre

This has already been discussed, and from what I saw, it's been opposed. So it must be an independent article. Regarding quality of source and adding more sources. Here above I added plenty, and also in the page article itself there are already sources other than Haaretz. Homerethegreat (talk) 11:49, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That merger discussion hasn't been closed, and maybe never be. There appears to be no consensus. It was based on a different target, i.e.: 2023 Israel–Hamas war, which I agree is a nonsensical target since it's already overlength. Many of those opposed cited that as a reason. Here, the merge option presented is to a different target that has no such problems. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:33, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The articles 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and 2023 Israel–Hamas war are already quite long. There are relevant details about many massacres (Re'im, Kfar Aza, Sderot, Be'eri, Netiv Ha'asara, Holit, Nir Oz and more), featured in international press. This calls for dedicating an article, even short ones, to each of these massacres. --GidiD (talk) 11:05, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GidiD: What are you saying? 2023 Hamas attack on Israel is exceptionally short and underdeveloped, with only 24kB of readable prose - well below the length for WP:TOOBIG concerns. Iskandar323 (talk) 11:24, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
1. This is a premature request for merge: Sadly, the 2023 conflict is an ongoing event, and probably all related articles would evolve as more facts are uncovered.

2. The article size you refer to (WP:TOOBIG) is just a rule of thumb, and other concerns may be more important. Further, there are many wiki articles with prose much shorter than 50K referencing sub-topics.

3. Prose size < 150 words would clearly require merging WP:SIZERULE- which is not the case here. And see also 1. GidiD (talk) 08:56, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and Ein HaShlosha per the rationale articulated at Talk:Ein HaShlosha massacre. There are at least nine articles about the various massacres that took place on October 7. Some of them are quite long and detailed and should remain standalone articles. But many others, including this one, are merely single-paragraph stubs that have demonstrated that they will not be expanded any time soon. Readers will have a much easier time accessing information about this attack and others if it is covered in an article about the attacks broadly as opposed to many poor-quality and stubby individual articles that readers are less likely to find.

Keep. After looking at sources [21], it appears this page can be significantly expanded because a lot of details are missing. Moreover, this is a developing event. For example, what was/will be the fate of hostages taken from Ein HaShlosha by the militants? This alone will make a story. My very best wishes (talk) 04:26, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. Not every component of this atrocious attack is independently notable. It is far WP:TOOSOON to tell which crimes will prove to have an enduring WP:EFFECT independent of the overall attack. For this particular article, the sources are WP:PRIMARYNEWS; no secondary analysis of this portion of the attack has emerged (as shown by the paucity of info in this article) and in-depth analysis does not exist yet; and the reporting around this element of the attack has not been WP:SUSTAINED other than in passing mentions (and those are in primary sources).

Question - if this article is not necessary due to raised concerns, why is the nominator creating articles such as Beit Rima massacre about events of the same scale, with Ein ha-Shlosha being obviously more documented as massacre and showing intentional killing of civilians rather than collateral damage in Beit Rima including militants. Fraankly I find both not notable enough, but would be happy to get an answer whether this is a systemic bias of the nominator.GreyShark (dibra) 19:19, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is certainly odd that an editor would create one article, and nominate a similar one for deletion. But there's nothing improper about it. Editors change their mind, or wish to solicit debate about the necessity of such articles. I wouldn't rush to assume bad faith or a systematic bias. Let's discuss each article on merits alone, without pulling the author's or AfD nominator's history into the discussion. Owen× ☎ 20:04, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You would do well not to project motives on other editors (advice I struggle at time to take). We are building an encyclopaedia; to do that we work on articles, not editors. Also, arguing against an article based on other articles is both dangerous water and explicitly recommended as something NOT to do. See WP:WHATABOUT.

I also have a two-fold answer for your question. First, that article is also in AfD right now and I don't think it passes WP:NEVENT with its existing sourcing. I would delete both, but for different reasons. Second, that has zero to do with this article. It has different issues as well as a viable parent article for the overall event. The 2023 Hamas attack on Israel is encyclopaedic and already has strong secondary sources (something that simply cannot be said for each individual atrocity that the event comprises, like the subject of this AfD). Cheers, Last1in (talk) 20:06, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I strongly believe that the article should be kept on Wikipedia. This event is a significant part of history and provides valuable information for those seeking to understand the complexities of the region’s past. The article is well-sourced, providing multiple references to verify the information presented. It adheres to Wikipedia’s guidelines for neutrality, presenting facts without taking a side. Deleting this article would be a loss to the Wikipedia community and its readers worldwide.

Keep This happened. this article shouldn't be deleted to favor ones bias, attempt to deny it happened. User:Iskandar323 has shown systemic bias against Israel on every, article posted about the Hamas Attack on Israel. on Every page he's asking to either rename articles from "massacres" to "attacks" to lessen the crimes the group has committed, and here again, he's attempting to do the same. in breach of WP:BIAS CViB (talk) 18:29, 9 December 2023 (UTC) Struck non-EC comment per WP:ARBECR. Iskandar323 (talk) 20:42, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
First, WP:BIAS is about systemic bias, not about accusing fellow editors of personal bias which is a breach of WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF. Second, It does not require a bias (in either direction) to support or oppose a position based on policy and reliable sources. Once, just once, I'd like to see a civil discussion in Middle East topics that does not end up with folks implying racist motives on pro-this or anti-the-other editors. We're here to build an encyclopaedia; if everyone can't leave their bigotry at the door, we will fail. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:39, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of Penthouse Pets

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

This strikes me as inherently problematic. There are numerous magazines in this genre which use a monthly featured model as a marketing gimmick, and it is really nothing more than that. Sourcing is not great for showing that the list itself is notable. The vast majority of names on this list are non-notable people. If anything, the existence of the designation should be discussed in the Penthouse (magazine) article, and an abbreviated list should be presented there, limited to notable individuals who happen to have been so-named.

- Notification of the article creator is automatic, but I don't think that weighs into the propriety of the article itself one way or the other. BD2412 T 21:18, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
COMMENT I don't think this can be compared to regular periodicals as it's an integral part of the identity, just like Playboy centrefolds. It's something people will be interested in. I also don't think the notability of any people should weigh in here as it's about the notability of the list. Obviously such a list should be complete. I think any decision should be based on the quality and sustainability of the list. So unless there's obvious problems in that regard I'm leaning towards keep as I haven't seen any valid criticism against the list itself. Biofase ^flame| stalk 00:41, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- We don't (and shouldn't) have a freestanding List of Hustler Honeys or List of Gallery Girls Next Door or List of Genesis centerfold models, or any of the other magazines in the genre outside of the List of Playboy Playmates of the Month, which contains a substantially higher caliber of notability of its membership (despite also having a dearth of sources). The obvious problem is that the list is unencyclopedic in the first place. BD2412 T 02:42, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  I'm not sure why you're singling out one list to the exclusion of others. It sounds more like you're applying notability as a competitive criteria and not a value criteria. So I'm sticking with my criteria unless the article itself is problematic there's no reason not to keep it. Also I hope you're not referring to the old "wikipedia is not..." argument which has been put to death already as false. Wikipedia is whatever an encyclopedia is and encyclopedias do include how-tos and lists when they are relevant to the time. Biofase ^flame| stalk 20:53, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  According to deletion policy, reasons for deletion include articles that are not encyclopedic according to WP:NOT policy, and in this instance, there does not appear to be support in independent and reliable sources for the notability of this group. I found this article while working on another, because of vague mentions in low-quality tabloid-style sources about the subject having been a Penthouse Pet. And from a general AfD view, this also does not appear to be a notable honor, because of the lack of independent, reliable, and secondary support for the encyclopedic significance - without support in such sources, it appears reasonable to exclude what also appears to be a mostly unverified list of people who are not well-known. Beccaynr (talk) 21:20, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  If the list itself is unverifiable it's one thing but this seems to be a made up reason not in the policy as a list is an encyclopedic tool and does not need to be supported or even exist in sources. That's why I said if there are problems with the content of the list then mention it but there are no obvious problems with such a list itself.
  
  Actually just did a quick google search and "penthouse magazine" returns about 30m results while "penthouse pets" return about 20m with many sites dedicated to lists and archives of pets so the topic itself seems pretty notable to me. Biofase ^flame| stalk 21:47, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Yes, I shouldn't have mentioned verification when this discussion is otherwise about encyclopedic notability of the group, and sufficiently independent and reliable sources to support notability. So on that topic, the use of a Google test does not help identify specific sources to support notability. If this is a notable distinction in a modeling career, then let's establish that with sources; otherwise, this list appears to lack encyclopedic significance. Beccaynr (talk) 22:58, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - including per WP:NOTPROMO and WP:NOTDIRECTORY, because WP:NLIST notability of the group does not appear supported by independent and reliable sources. WP:NLIST also does not appear to support inclusion of a list of the notable subjects in the Penthouse (magazine) article because of the lack of support for the notability of the group.

Polarbear678 (talk) 18:21, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The WP:NYPOST and WP:DAILYMAIL (the second and third sources linked in the comment above) are not suitable for supporting notability. The first source is a Youtube video of a "The Penthouse Pet of the year, 1977" interview by the CBC, posted in 2010 and described as "In this clip from 1977, the Penthouse Pet of the year - Vicki Johnson - talks about why she posed for the magazine at a time when Penthouse was considered more controversial than it is today" on the website, which does not appear to support the notability of the Penthouse Pets group. Beccaynr (talk) 18:30, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Those aren't the only sources. Penthouse group is often in the news. There are so many reputable sources that have mentioned it. They have been mentioned in news sources of all political spectrum. I don't see why it is not notable. Polarbear678 (talk) 18:59, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The New York Post article isn't even about someone who was a Penthouse Pet! It's about a girl literally living in a penthouse suite (a top-floor apartment). BD2412 T 19:28, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That was a mistake. I just updated it. Polarbear678 (talk) 19:41, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Guidelines and policy indicate the notability of Penthouse magazine does not contribute to notability for Penthouse Pets as a group - the organizations and companies notability guideline, which has a focus on some of the common issues with abusing Wikipedia for advertising and promotion and a need for quality sourcing, has a section about no inherited notability, e.g. An organization may be notable, but individual members (or groups of members) do not "inherit" notability due to their membership. For this article, we theoretically could verify group membership with the Penthouse website, but this would seem to be WP:PROMO if independent and reliable sources do not support the notability of the Penthouse Pets group.

Delete - I'm not seeing the independent and significant coverage from reliable sources that would be needed per WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. The only ones that are even broadly independent are the two Breaking Defence stories, and of those ref #4 has no analytical content about the subject (the only things about him specifically are quotes, i.e. non-independent) while ref #2 is your run-of-the-mill "X was appointed as Y" announcement thing. Nor does there appear to be any more specific notability guideline that would be relevant. I'll also note that vague hand waving about how the AAE is needed to win, if anything, just demonstrates how there doesn't seem to be any policy-based argument for keeping this. -Ljleppan (talk) 08:32, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- the presented analysis actually is slightly above secondary education level in the Netherlands, so above high school level in the US: there rather on the level of first year university physics. The analysis is meant to be accessible to advanced high school students, within the scope of the Wikipedia mission.
- "plenty of OR", probably meaning "plenty of Original Research", is factually incorrect, as the complete argument in the article was condensed from the referenced book/website of MacKay, Science Advisor to the UK Department of Energy 2009-2014.
- submitter of this deletion proposal wrote on 19 November on her/his talk page "in short, I’m not disputing the factuality of the derivations in the article, but WP:NOTTEXTBOOK applies.", so she/he apparently retracted the complaint of "incorrectness to boot".

Keep @Fermiboson @Ldm1954 The physics is incorrect? No, everybody, also the referenced nice papers by Kenneth Holmberg et al. (2012, 2013), agrees we have 1. acceleration, 2. air drag, and 3. further friction, and the applicable formulae. The quoted "5% air drag" holds only at constant 60 km/h, while the wikipedia article considered the quadratic effect over a range of low and high speeds. It is irrelevant for the thrust of the article: there is basically a quadratic dependence on speed of energy consumption, everybody agrees on that. The source of the Wikipedia article is the report by professor MacKay, official scientific adviser to the British government, the book Sustainable energy without the hot air 2008, free online www.withoutthehotair.com. We can easily incorporate the results of Holmberg et al. in this Wikipedia article. Merging? the article with other long articles muddles the arguments both ways, the TooLongDidNotRead effect.
- Wikipedia needs a relatively simple article on the vital subject of energy consumption by cars and the effect of speed, right? Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 13:04, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia should have an article, but only if it is correct. The current Wikipedia page states:

"At higher speed the energy consumption of a car per unit distance increases proportional to the square of the speed. This is caused by the air drag which dominates over the tyre rolling resistance at high speeds."

This is misleading as it is focusing on the 5% contributions, and ignoring the dominant 95% internal loses due to friction in the engine/transmission and also the efficiency of the engine etc as a function of speed.

~~Keep Merge~~ Delete I've edited Energy-efficient driving to include those parts of the subject article I consider notable.

The case presented against this article is weak.

The case claims is is "high-school level analysis"; the audience of Wikipedia includes high-school level readers.
The case claims WP:OR citing no examples.
The case claims the article is factually incorrect citing a discussion which includes exactly one -- disputed -- claim of incorrect content.
In the linked discussion the "tone" of the article was disliked. It seems to me to be a completely typical Wikipedia article.
The case did not make the claim that the topic was not notable or otherwise unsuitable for Wikipedia.

It is possible that only a minimal case was presented because it was assumed that everyone will vote delete.

The major issues I see with the article are

Title seems a bit non-encyclopedic.
Relies primarily on a single source
Contains disputed claims.

These are all issues that can be repaired. Johnjbarton (talk) 16:16, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnjbarton and also @Hansmuller, please look at Fuel economy in automobiles#Energy considerations. This has a comprehensive list of the energy consumption contributions, which is far larger than the two in Car speed and energy consumption. You can also look at the similar information in Speed and fuel economy studies, and the comparable article in Energy-efficient driving plus there are numerous Google searchable articles from organizations such as AAA, RAC, DOE as well as popular science articles. The energy consumption is a very well-trodden topic, being a balance between $$$ for simple steels compared to superalloys or refractory metals versus engine efficiency, drive train and related frictional losses and other contributions such as drag and rolling friction. Ldm1954 (talk) 21:41, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As I said on the physics talk page, comparing this article to Fuel economy in automobiles is off base. I think the thrust of the article is actions existing drivers can take. Merging this content into Energy-efficient driving on the other hand, would be a win. That article is more comprehensive and yet it has no reference to Mackay or to Holmberg et al The vehicle speed section is weak compared with this article.

I'm working at it, thanks.Hansmuller (talk) 22:16, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: the physics is sound, according to the MacKay source and further literature. The referenced Holmberg/Erdemir articles , incorrectly used for refutation, actually support the Wikipedia article:

1. Holmberg et al. / Global energy consumption due to friction in passenger cars / Tribology International 47 (2012) 221–231 agree with this Wikipedia article, they state on page 223:

"The external air drag is the air resistance of the car when it moves on the road. It is proportional to the square of the driving speed and directly related to the size and shape of the vehicle, usually expressed as a multiplication of the drag coefficient by the projected front area [34,35]. In this study, 60 km/h is assumed as an average driving speed for all cars globally in urban, highway, and any other kind of driving.". Holmberg et al. do not further address the effect of speed.

2. Holmberg et al., Global energy consumption due to friction in passenger cars, transportation and industry, STLE Annual Meeting, Detroit, USA, 5-9.5.2013, echo the MacKay argument for a quadratic dependence on speed on their pages 8 and 9, with graphs similar to MacKay we can use as reference in the article, and refine the argument on other sources of friction.

Air drag losses dominate at high speeds, Holmberg/Erdemir agree.

Apologies to Hansmuller for going so long without replying. I will respond to his points both on my tp and here below.

In summary, my argument is not just that the article currently is an essay, although it undoubtedly is (I can elaborate more on this if need be but don't see the need right now), but that it can be nothing but an essay, under the area that the title delineates.

With regard to the factual accuracy claim, I based it entirely upon Ldm1954's looking into the source paper, for which I would also like to apologise as I should have done more extensive research myself. That said, while maybe "factually inaccurate" is not the most precise term, I do think that the article cannot be written in a manner where due weight is given. Since car speed is such a minor portion of the efficiency of automobiles (this part I think everyone here agrees with), any article that talks about only the impact of car speed is going to create an impression of disproportionate impact. In any case, that is not my main point, and if you still want me to remove "factually inaccurate" I am open to doing so.

The article currently cites two papers. One of these papers talks about a factor of energy consumption independent of speed, and the other is essentially an appendix to a popular policy document (which to be fully honest looks self-published to me, but I don't see anything wrong with the content so let's roll with it.) Everything else is a textbook, relating to the elementary derivation of the v^2 formula for air resistance (and other forms of resistance). We can cut all of that and simply cite the proportionality to the papers involved since there is no need to piece together our own derivation when the result is accepted. (Notable pieces of OR that would be cut include, for example, "energy consumption over a distance" section.) We are then essentially left with:

A reproduction of the proportions of modes of energy loss from said paper;
A reproduction of a graph of energy loss vs velocity from two papers;
A description of the trend represented in such graphs.

Note moreover that:

A dependence of efficiency on speed is not the major focus of the one paper that actually mentions it.
The experimental results from aforementioned paper have nothing to do with the v^2 dependence.

With this in mind, what can the article actually say? "Theoretically, energy consumption scales as v^2. Because of 'various factors', this doesn't actually happen at all (see graph). Also, it turns out other things have far more impact on energy consumption than car speed does, so it doesn't actually matter that much unless you're on a highway." If we have to mention all kinds of different factors not included in the title to have an article, then essentially throw our hands up and say "see results here, which we can't predict, but doesn't matter anyways", why not simply do all that at the place where this is already done? Fermiboson (talk) 04:12, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some additional notes, as the above message was getting clunkier and clunkier with every note I tried to add and edit into it:

There are still claims I consider factually inaccurate in the article. For example:
- The graph captions and text don't really mention the fact that there is a large mismatch between v^2 predictions and actual data. I personally had to read through the thing three times, and the associated source twice, before I figured out what was going on.
- That air pollution is proportional to the speed squared. Neglecting how ill defined "air pollution" is (total emitted pollutants? Pollutant concentration?), the statement "air pollution increases with petrol consumption" is unsourced, and off the top of my head I can think of several factors (such as increased combustion temperatures at high engine rpms) that could change the speed dependence of total amount of air pollutants emitted.
I think that there is a possibility for the article to merit a keep, if we are able to find sources to cover some of the following:
- Popular misconceptions about the dependence of energy consumption on speed
- Adjustments that car designers make to control the dependence of energy consumption on speed
- The effects of speed limits, or other forms of speed control, on roadside pollution, gas consumption etc in certain areas.

These would allow the article to instead talk about the way the speed dependence influences other factors, which would not require any synthesis. With a cursory search I have not been able to find any. Fermiboson (talk) 04:22, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not arguing that we should delete the article because things are incorrect, I am arguing that we should do so because there is nothing left that isn't either essay or reproduction of information after those things are removed. I pointed out several factual inaccuracies because @Hansmuller asked me to do so on my tp. Fermiboson (talk) 16:18, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with @Fermiboson. My opinion of the article is that it will mislead readers because it only considers the very minor terms, not the big ones. Consider the two main Figures, Graph 1 and Graph 2. From Graph 1 I should drive at 30 km/h or less. From Graph 2 I should drive a Prius at 30 km/h or less, and not buy a BMW which does not obey anything in the article.

If I now go to an authoritative source such as https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10312 or the full data at https://tedb.ornl.gov/ a different picture emerges. Three key points:

Engine efficiency is not linear, in many cases it increases with speed if we ignore frictional losses, see for instance http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/237/1/012011 (as just a source I pulled quickly).
Frictional losses in cars are not speed independent, it is much more complicated than this, see for instance https://doi.org/10.3390/lubricants7050039. This is lubrication science, and not a simple high-school problem. At low speed you can have boundary lubrication; at higher speeds you transition to lower friction and hydrodynamic lubrication, see Stribeck curve. You also have to worry about viscosity changes with engine temperature etc.
Rolling resistance is not so simple, see the decent article on it. You can always purchase low rolling resistance tires.

We already have a good article at Energy-efficient driving which is far more detailed. I see no reason for this article to exist. Energy efficiency, engine efficiency and lubrication are not simple topics.

For fun, something you won't find clearly spelt out here or elsewhere. A few years ago as an experiment a German automobile company worked on a very clean and efficient automobile engine, so there would be no particulates in the engine to lead to wear or frictional losses. The result, horrible. It turned out that they made it so clean that there was no graphitic material being produced inside the engine, and graphitic materials are good solid lubricants. Tribology is complex. Ldm1954 (talk) 00:43, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your posts with these detailed references make a compelling case that this topic is WP:Notable. Again the accuracy of the article should be discussed in the Talk page.

The graph in [22] makes the important point that the graphs that MacKay chose are not the ones that are important to drivers. What counts for drivers is mpg vs speed, not energy vs speed. And the graphs on energy.gov show that the speed effect is much less dramatic once you factor in the miles gained at higher speed.

Performance of a small compression ignition engine fuelled by liquified petroleum gas does not seem to be related to the article.
The Knauder reference is about engine speed effects, not vehicle speed effect. As you know transmissions cause these to be not equal.
The Rolling resistance of tires is approximately constant once you have purchased them. See https://www.trb.org/publications/sr/sr286.pdf

I disagree that Energy-efficient driving is a good article. For example, the mpg effect per the energy.gov example is not discussed. It needs work and we should encourage improvements.

In my opinion this overall approach of dumping on the article does not improve Wikipedia. Our goal should be better articles and telling editors their work stinks and should be deleted the worst way to accomplish that goal. The most you can accomplish that way is the deletion of one small article that everyone agrees is flawed and driving away the editor. Big deal. If on the other hand you ask what can we do to guide an editor towards better contributions, that editor may go on to make improvements over time. Since all of the dumping takes time I don't see any real cost of a more positive approach. Johnjbarton (talk) 02:56, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We will agree to disagree. I am not an expert on automobiles and lubrication, I have only collaborated with people who are for ~20 years.

The rather razor-thin operational history of this radio station (and it hadn't "ceased broadcasting" by 2006 — that was when it was granted its construction permit; it was not licensed until 2011) leads me to believe that it probably wasn't around long enough to get anywhere near the significant coverage to meet the GNG.

The reference from Today^[1] and the reference from People^[2] are both very reliable and solid references. This page is notable. It could surely be improved, but nominator has chosen to systematically nominate to delete any article I have submitted in a motivated approach or ulterior motive other than objectivity.Stravensky (talk) 22:54, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Stravensky and think the article should be kept. The two sources above both pass the 5 primary WP:NCORP criteria. The today article is not the most substantive, more of a profile of the founder, but it makes more than a passing mention of the program and SEL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Groceryheist (talk • contribs) 00:14, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

References

Comment Both of those references indicate that Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement has been founded satisfying WP:V, but there are passing mention at best. That is best you can say about the organisation in these two references. Both of these references fail WP:SIRS. I'll go through the rest of the references later. scope_creep^Talk 00:31, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It may be beneficial for anyone else to go through the references instead, given your apparent conflict of interest based on nominating any page submitted by me on the grounds of weak references when you clearly haven't yet reviewed any of the references. Stravensky (talk) 03:58, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, "passing mention at best" is a long ways off, for anyone who actually reads either of the above articles which are in depth about Scarlett and Choose Love Movement. This is an obvious motivated action by someone who is motivated to delete my contributions without regard for objectivity. Stravensky (talk) 04:00, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by "low chart"? WP:NSONG never said any of such but that it may be notable if it charted, probably if there's WP:SIGCOV and/or enough news coverage, or a certificate and award/nomination. dxneo (talk) 11:46, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dxneo Low on the chart, as in not even in the top half and only for one week. A lot of songs can achieve that, but that doesn't mean it's an impressive or even notable chart run.

LexCorp

Fictional company from DC universe. Our article is pure plot summary. My BEFORE failed to find much outside a master thesis. (It also seems there's a real-world company named such that we don't have an article about?). The concept was used few years ago in marketing for the movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (ex. [30]), but coverage is mostly about the movie, not the company, which is just a plot background. I suggest per WP:ATD-R to redirect this to the list of DC comics organizations. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:38, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's my thought as well. I remember it was mentioned a lot throughout the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited series, but I don't know of any analysis of it beyond that. I did a quick search on Google Scholar and only found an apart from a thesis entitled "Comic Books as the Modern American Mythology" (apparently only accessible behind a paywall), a small mention on page 10 of "Creation of a Procedural Narrative Within the Fictional Universe of DC Comics", page 72 of Caped Crusaders 101: Composition Through Comic Books, a few mentions in a Spanish-language publication, and mentions in some books, but that's about it. So, I support a merger. Historyday01 (talk) 05:29, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Lex Luthor - The fictional company is pretty specifically only notable because it is the company owned/ran by Lex Luthor, and pretty much all sources that discuss it are doing so due to its links to Lex himself. Covering it as part of the overall topic of Lex simply makes the most sense per WP:NOPAGE. It looks like the current article is purely plot summary, and it looks like the fictional history of the corporation is already covered throughout the plot summaries on Lex's article. But, I have no objections to a light Merger of any information would make sense to be added to Lex's article. Rorshacma (talk) 19:04, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Star City (comics)

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

Fictional city from DC comics, setting for Green Arrow - but does not seem notable on its own. We have here just a plot summary + listing of apperancees, i.e. pure WP:FANCRUFT. My BEFORE fails to show anything better than [31], which seems to be a student paper (not a thesis - the best I can figure out it was just a course paper related to a blog - PopMeC Research Blog, since it is also part of the suggested citation in the pdf). I suggest redirecting either to Green Arrow or to the List of DC comics locations per WP:ATD-R. PS. Interested editors may want to know I also prodded an even worse IMHO article, Coast City. A redirect is always fine as I noted there, or we can have another AFD is someone thinks it merits it. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:17, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not a real rivalry, they're just both public schools in the same state so there may be some comment on it. But when they don't play each other regularly and the series is entirely non-competitive, with one being in a second-tier conference, it's not something notable needing an article. Reywas92^Talk 04:35, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A lack of competitiveness or one team belonging to a Group of 5 conference does not mean it is not a rivalry. The sources say it is a rivalry. Pennsylvania2 (talk) 17:07, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so some in the media have called a rivalry because that's a fun word that gins up interest, but that doesn't mean we need an article that compiles results. A pair of schools is more likely to be called that if they are geographically close and play often, but that can apply to countless combinations of teams and it doesn't mean we have to have an article on it. Games being on the schedule another three years out doesn't change that. Reywas92^Talk 02:08, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep 18 sources describe the series as a rivalry. The lopsided aspect of the rivalry actually adds a notability aspect to the rivalry as per the sources. The series was renewed in 2018 with games planned for 2026 and 2027 and sources described it as a rivalry. Pennsylvania2 (talk) 17:07, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The sources seem to indiciate notability. glman (talk) 00:15, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Glman: Which of the sources seem to indicate notability? I have an open mind, but I'm not seeing SIGCOV (i.e., in-depth coverage) of a rivalry in multiple, WP:INDEPENDENT sources. Cbl62 (talk) 11:52, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cbl62 - Both the Temple News and the PSU Collegian say they are independent of their universities on their sites. For the Collegian it says The Daily Collegian, The Weekly Collegian and The Daily Collegian Online are published by Collegian Inc., an independent, non-profit corporation with a board of directors composed of students, faculty and professionals. and for Temple News it says The award-winning student publication, editorially independent of Temple, now publishes every Tuesday..KatoKungLee (talk) 17:33, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how it works. These are student newspapers written and published by active and enrolled students of the two universities and not by professional journalists. Under long-established precedent, student newspapers are not WP:INDEPENDENT and don't count toward GNG. If the "rivalry" were truly notable we'd be seeing SIGCOV written by persons other than students. @WhatamIdoing: @JoelleJay: Do I have that right? 23:23, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Passing mentions of a "rivalry" are not enough. We lack depth of coverage of this as a true, notable rivalry in reliable and independent sources (i.e., not Onward State or Daily Collegian as Wikipedia regards student newspapers aa not WP:INDEPENDENT). I also agree with User:Reywas92 that the lack of competitiveness (Penn State has dominated throughout the series history, winning 40 of 45 games) is a factor to be considered in evaluating whether this is a true rivalry. If someone can present actual SIGCOV of a rivalry in multiple independent, reliable sources, I'll reconsider. Cbl62 (talk) 01:49, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He fails WP:JOURNALIST and general notability. The article is a reference bomb of LinkedIn and other primary sources, which suggest material was lacking to get the article out there in the first place. I have evaluated all the source and found lack of notability and/or reliability, which suggest this is a run-of-the-mill journalist, not someone that stands out in his profession (see WP:JOURNALIST).

Keep. This is borderline. I've gone through the same thought process as nom but lean on the side of deeming the interviews by RTS and Arizona Wildcat admissible as independent secondary sources that confer notability. Deryck C. 11:07, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The Arizona Daily Wildcat is a student newspaper, so it would be a weak source to show notability (WP:RSSM). The only material in the RTS interview (that is not an answer by Zand):

Benjamin’s career began while still at university where he launched a travel website, Informed Explorer and began producing video content. He is now the editor of BBC Pop Up, a mobile bureau which travels the world making current affairs documentaries, as well as a programme maker for Panorama, the BBC’s long running investigative series. Born in Liverpool and without any connections in journalism or the BBC, Zand has forced his way up through hard work and talent, and along the way he has picked up a lot of handy advice.

That's why I think this is pretty weak to warrant a biography of him on here. Both are WP:INTERVIEWS, which usually don't count for notability in AfDs. And RTS source is published by the same people that gave him an award, so one can say is not independent. बिनोद थारू (talk) 22:54, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: So far we have one UEFA and four NZS sources, so apart from them being the highest organization in association football there's hardly any connection of them with Križaj. As she's a woman, we could also include sources from zenskaliga.si, which is the website of the primary association for woman football in Slovenia (presuming it's RS): 1, 2, 3. There's also some local coverage: team change, her playing FIFA on the national TV and more passing mentions as a result of her scoring. A09|(talk) 16:23, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: For future note, UEFA and the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) would not be considered independent sources. JTtheOG (talk) 17:25, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per A09. I echo that this article needs improvement, not deletion. --Grnrchst (talk) 08:16, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This, I think it's the same person [33], several hits in local newspapers found by clicking on the "newspaper" link in the infobox for deletion. Oaktree b (talk) 02:05, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It could be. Although she seems to have long hair in this, and based on Google images, she has short hair, so I'm not sure. Spinixster (chat!) 02:30, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I can't find useful sources, article should be deleted. I'll revisit if the article I linked in my other comment is the same person. Oaktree b (talk) 01:00, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep‎. I see a consensus here that this article subject is notable. If editors interested in this article could spend some time improving it and adding additional sources you have come across, that would be welcome. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:06, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I mean, the case happened and it's mentioned [34] but I don't find critical discussion of it... This reads like an essay written by someone in high school. Oaktree b (talk) 02:08, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Clicking on the Gscholar link brings up law journals, but it's above my pay grade to try and understand what's discussed about the case. What do others thin? Oaktree b (talk) 02:09, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been online for 9 years before it has had its notability challenged. Given this and the fact that it has 2 law books cited n support and that it has been subsequently edited by several others, I believe meets notability in spades Kiwisheriff (talk) 11:32, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- I am a bit surprised as the paucity of sources showing online. This case was often mentioned in consideration of so-called Lemon Laws. Although the case's impact pretty well faded a soon as the 1993 CGA went into effect, notability does not expire. The subject is enclyclopaedic, sourced, and (at least during the 80s) sustained. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 21:09, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the support for the article. However, I would argue that the legal concept of "merchantable quality" has not faded with the implementation of the CGA, as not only was this section under the SGA copied into the CGA, it actually enhanced it, by making it illegal to contract out of the law by the retailer, ie. "no refund" signs. Kiwisheriff (talk) 02:23, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Implied warranty would be a good candidate for expanding on the state of the NZ law, for anyone interested. — HTGS (talk) 03:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I am surprised at a nomination that doesn’t address the two books cited, which, if they give reasonable coverage, would be sufficient alone to support notability. Then, as mentioned, the scholar links (eg [35]) add plenty of potential sourcing. Obviously the article’s current quality, nor the length it has existed do not affect the decision here. As some of us know well, NZ law is still underdeveloped on Wikipedia, but if it weren’t, I would support a merge up into the relevant area-of-law article. — HTGS (talk) 03:11, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Satisfies GNG. This case has received significant coverage in books and periodical articles in Google Books, Google Scholar and elsewhere. There are entire periodical articles about this case: [36]. (There are also entire periodical articles about the concept of "merchantable quality" generally).
