A former hedge fund. Doesn't appear to pass WP:CORP. Creator is indefinitely blocked. Uhooep (talk) 22:54, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Evaluating the sourcing for these sorts of AfDs is tricky because there are untold numbers of passing mentions and non-independent sources, but on balance I think there's probably enough here for notability even under WP:NCORP's very strict definition of significant coverage. Here's an article in The Times: although it discusses a corporate announcement, it also provides analysis, opining that "Atticus's downsizing is another sign that the era [of] high-profile, aggressive hedge funds, that publicly berated companies' management and flaunted their connections to the rich and famous, has ended". This article in the Wall Street Journal describes the company's history, noting that the fund "angered some investors in March 2008 with how it treated its investment in Deutsche Boerse" and has "received unwanted attention because of" various scandals involving its co-chairman Nathaniel Philip Rothschild. Here's an article from The Daily Telegraph discussing the company's tremendous losses during the financial crisis, and here's another one describing both its "reputation as a formidable active manager" and Lord Rothschild's decision to withdraw his money from the firm owned by his son due to its poor performance. This article in the Financial Times discusses how the fund "helped dictate the course of mega-mergers and corporate strategy at some of the world's biggest companies - and made a fortune in the process", but it also describes its "galling" losses and the fact that its executives will consequently receive no bonuses. I think it's clear that these sources, which come from some of the world's most reliable outlets and which discuss the fund in significant (and often unflattering) detail, are far more than just the routine churnalism that most Wall Street firms generate. The fund is also discussed in these two books published by Wiley, showing that there's coverage from outside the often-ephemeral business press. There are many more sources available in ProQuest and elsewhere, but I think these ones are enough to show an NCORP pass. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 01:24, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This event may have been historic; it was, of course, the first pig heart to human heart transportation in the world. However, it has led to this article falling victim to WP:BIO1E. As far as I am aware; the previous AfD for the article had many pointless 'Keep' comments; one says "showing that the Wikipedia way is wacky". As previously mentioned in the 1st AfD nom; the WP:CRIME pointer also fails. Case in point; this article violates BIO1E, CRIME, and GNG. Fakescientist8000 (talk) 21:49, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NCORP for not receiving significant coverage. Only 3 sources ([1] [2] [3]) could reasonably be considered to provide 'significant coverage' of the website. Two other TechCrunch articles ([4] [5]) have it as a topic, but not at a depth to be considered significant. Anything else online is merely a passing mention of its existence.

Per a source review and WP:BEFORE source searches, this subject does not meet WP:BASIC. While the article has sources, none of them provide in-depth coverage of the subject. Sources in the article are a mixture of primary sources, (such as Deseret Book Company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation, the holding company for business firms owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), unreliable sources and passing mentions. Source searches are providing primary sources such as literature the subject has authored, but nothing significant and independent in reliable sources.

  • Keep. The subject had an obituary written by Thomas S. Monson when he was a member of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles here; an official obit by the church in the Liahona magazine here; the New York Times stated he was next "in line to succeed Spencer W. Kimball as president of the Mormon Church" here; and his work is quoted and referenced countless times in Mormon/LDS-related apologetics and academia. One of those works is Tabernacles of Clay: Sexuality and Gender in Modern Mormonism by Taylor G. Petrey, who gives just over half a page to the subject's stance on segregation on page 24 and discusses his beliefs and teachings in at least six other instances in the book as well, as seen here. It also looks like he was the subject of a 1977 book called An Appeal to President Kimball: Interviews with Mark E. Petersen and Henry Richards, edited by Ron Johnson, Karen Johnson, and Dennis Michael Bingham (seen here). --Kbabej (talk) 21:02, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Below is a summary of those sources:
  • [7] – This is a primary source published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Primary sources are not usable to establish notability on English Wikipedia.
  • [8] – Also a primary source published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Also, Liahona is a primary source published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
  • [9] – NYT coverage qualifies, in my view. There are about ten sentences here that are about the subject himself.
  • [10] – Has only a portion of one paragraph about the subject. Acceptable to some, unacceptable to others, in terms of the depth of coverage here.
  • [11] – This is titled "An Appeal to President Kimball: Interviews with Mark E. Petersen and Henry Richards". Interviews typically do not qualify notability, unless there is significant coverage about the subject in non-interview format, such as from a reporter or author. Furthermore, this source may not be reliable. No publisher is provided on the Google Books page other than the author names.
  • Thus far, only two usable sources are available, one of which is questionable in terms of the depth of coverage provided. As it is now, the article is essentially mostly a puff piece based mostly upon primary sources, and also has uncited content. North America1000 07:09, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep While Mormon bishops are actually pastors, Quorum of Twelve members are actually probably somewhere between bishop and archbishop equivalents, and thus would be notable regardless of the online sources currently discoverable. Jclemens (talk) 00:33, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that there is no presumed notability for religious figures on English Wikipedia. See WP:CLERGYOUTCOMES, which is not a guideline or policy page, and has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. There it states, "The bishops of major denominations, including Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran and Anglican Communion bishops, are typically found to be notable.". However, Latter Day Saint movement persons are not mentioned there. Even if they were, there is no presumed notability; it's not a guideline or policy. North America1000 06:53, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Found a biography about him. Doing a newspapers.com search here, I've gotten references to this person in mostly Utah-based newspapers pretty regularly. Seems like they stretch back into the 1940s. While I am unable to see anything past the paywall, I did see that the first one is an obituary from the Salt Lake Tribune, probably similar to the NYT article. Also got this from the Boston Globe (sorry another paywall), looking to be another obituary. I agree with the nom's rationale that WP:BEFORE search didn't produce enough, but given that the subject lived before the advent of the internet, I can see why there not are easily findable sources online. Rollidan (talk) 09:20, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Below is a summary of the sources directly above:
  • The biography you found is a primary source, published by the Deseret Book Company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation, the holding company for business firms owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It is not independent, and primary sources do not confer notability.
  • The Newspapers search you performed is a generic search using the subject's name, and is essentially a list of WP:GOOGLEHITS. The subject's name is rather generic, and thus, it states atop and left on the search page "There are 1,706,431 matches for Mark E Petersen". Despite all of these, almost all of which are going to be about different subjects rather than this subject. The number of hits a subject's name receives in a search engine does not confer notability.
  • The Boston Globe article just goes to a login page. Cannot access it.
  • Per the subject's lifespan, you state that "given that the subject lived before the advent of the internet, I can see why there not are easily findable sources online". However, the notion of WP:MUSTBESOURCES comes into play here.
  • As of yet, we still lack a simple two solid reliable, independent sources that provide objective significant coverage. North America1000 09:47, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When you define the newspapers.com search to "Elder Mark E. Petersen" during 1984, you get 1,952 matches, all of the top ones clearly being relevant. I've included some in my keep !vote below. ––FormalDude talk 21:47, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'd Support what @FormalDude has already said. The biography, while published by Deseret Book, is 100% not a primary source, as the author has nothing to do with the individual. As for independence, one can get into the "Jeff Bezos and Washington Post" argument, but no need to go down there. As far as the search goes, all of the top hits in both my generic search and a narrow search referred to the "Mark E Petersen," making it not an issue of WP:SOURCESEXIST, because they do exist. Rollidan (talk) 23:31, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Might the more than 40 books he wrote make him notable per WP:AUTHOR as a significant contribution to the Mormon mission? Ficaia (talk) 18:30, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Books authored by the subject were published by Bookcraft, a major publisher of books and products for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Deseret Book Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation, the holding company for business firms owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Can you provide any evidence that the subject actually meets any of the points of WP:AUTHOR? Even is this is possible, WP:AUTHOR does not guarantee notability. Rather, it states upward on the page regarding the criteria that "meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." North America1000 09:51, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is honestly much more than is needed for a person born in 1900. But, seeing as none of it is included in the article, I can see how this nomination came about. I'll work on adding these and other good sources to the article.

Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:BLP1E, and WP:ENTERTAINER. Lacks significant coverage in quality independent sources. Subject placed 12th on the current season of RuPaul's Drag Race, and withdrew early from the competition due to an injury. Sources are either too closely connected to the subject, not in-depth, or fail because of quality issues per policy at WP:TABLOID. There is no WP:SUSTAINED coverage of the subject with sources revolving entirely around this year's RuPaul's Drag Race reality competition.

Not really significant. It’s a rehash of her time on the show, and part of the issue here is demonstrating she has notability outside of drag race season 14. Otherwise there is no reason for an article on Kornbread to exist if the pertinent material can be covered in the article on season 14 of Drag Race. We need sources showing WP:SUSTAINED coverage. What we need is a source showing she’s notable for more than just a single reality competition per WP:BLP1E and WP:ENTERTAINER.4meter4 (talk) 18:39, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of RuPaul's Drag Race contestants - This February 10, 2022 Out article includes WP:SECONDARY commentary/synthesis, e.g. "Though she had to go home, it's safe to say Kornbread left a great and lasting impression on the fandom. She's currently the most-followed season 14 queen on social media after making history for being one of this season's two out trans women...". This February 4, 2022 Entertainment Weekly article also focuses on her, e.g. "Kornbread quickly won fan affection after January's season 14 premiere, across which the entertainer debuted an incredible talent show performance to an original track, [...] and stunned on the runway...". This February 9, 2022 Gay Times interview has some independent introduction, e,g, "The LA queen quickly cemented her status as a frontrunner for the season 14 crown after conquering the first challenge, in which she performed an original rap track to praise from Lizzo, and by showcasing her inner Oscar-winning diva...". The independent content introducing this February 23, 2022 LA Weekly interview includes, "With conversations surrounding trans issues, as well as the differences in gender and sexual preference, pronouns and presentation, each more prominent than ever, Drag Race is more relevant than ever as a platform for understanding how others live their truth." This January 10, 2022 Queerty article discusses the historic nature of her participation, e.g. "This is a stark change from years past, when Drag Race noticeably placed restrictions on trans contestants. Although many contestants have been open about their trans identities, they were still expected to dress as male during their “non-drag” segments of the show." I think information from some of these sources about the show, including Jeté and the historic changes to the show, can be added to where some information already exists in the List of RuPaul's Drag Race contestants article, and possibly to the RuPaul's Drag Race article. Without more WP:SUSTAINED and in-depth coverage, it does seem WP:TOOSOON for WP:BASIC/WP:GNG or WP:ENT notability at this time, but a redirect seems best due to the potential for her career development.

    I did not suggest a merge due to the quality of the sources and the content in the article. With regard to the them article noted below, the focus is on the evolution of the show, and it substantially reprints content from an Entertainment Weekly interview, including quotes from contestants. In the Jeté article, this source supports the fact of her friendship with Colby, but in WP articles about the show generally or the season in particular, it could support new content related to the commentary in the them article, i.e. the inclusion of openly trans contestants.

  • Weak keep. It looks as if the subject was getting coverage even before her time on RPDR. Kornbread hosting drag brunch at The Abbey was covered by the Beverly Press here; she appeared in the podcast Listen Sweetie here; and her appearances on the web series Blame the Hero. Then, of course, there's the coverage for RPDR. With that combination, I think the article can be expanded beyond just the RPDR information. --Kbabej (talk) 19:16, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Those sources aren’t significant coverage. The Beverley Press article is essentially an advertisement about the drag brunch at the Abbey and not about Kornbread; although she was hosting the event. A puff piece in WP:LOCAL newspaper advertising an upcoming event is not significant. Likewise, a podcast and television appearance are not evidence of notability. We would need an independent review demonstrating that her appearance on the podcast and web series was significant. As with all articles involving the people in the arts and entertainment, we rely on independent secondary sources such as critical reviews to indicate whether that work is notable.4meter4 (talk) 03:53, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or move back to draftspace. If the statement is that it shouldn't be deleted because it is a work in progress, it *should* be over in draftspace, which was done to the article after you created it. In terms of serious campaign, I believe that there are Major elections such as US House and Senate where one of the Major Party candidates is viewed as not notable enough for an article, for example, there is no article for the Democratic candidate in the Oklahoma 2018 Attorney General race. From WP:NPOL.
"The following are presumed to be notable:
Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels.[13] This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them.
Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.[8]"
Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline.Naraht (talk) 18:52, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This seems to be a case of whataboutism. What about the OK 2018 AG race?
Citations explaining her notability, her previous high-profile candidacy, and the high profile of her current race for federal office, do cross her over the threshold of notability. Anthonydorazio (talk) 18:58, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete fails the WP:GNG. First, there's no presumed notability available under WP:NPOL, since Bonoan meets none of the criteria there. Second, sourcing in the article is dependent on self-published and primary materials. I'm not opposed to the use of primary materials for the verification of facts (eg electoral results, awards etc), but in this case they cannot form the sole basis of sourcing to demonstrate notability. Yet, as I repeat frequently, present content is not a measure of notability. Third, however, searching for actual reliable sourcing reveals remarkably little. The "best" I can find include a podcast interview, a candidate Q&A, shared video of missing cows...all of which fail as sourcing to satisfy the GNG. In six months the electoral contest may heat up, no prejudice against recreating in that case. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 21:56, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Candidates do not get to keep Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates per se — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. The tests that a candidate has to clear are that either (a) she already had preexisting notability for other reasons independent of the candidacy, such as already having held a different notable political office (Hillary Clinton) or being notable in a different field of activity (Cynthia Nixon), or (b) a credible reason can be demonstrated why her candidacy should be seen as much more special than everybody else's candidacies, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance (Christine O'Donnell). This demonstrates neither of those things, and is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all. Obviously an article can be recreated after election day if she wins the seat, since she will satisfy WP:NPOL #1 at that time, but merely being a candidate for a seat does not get a person into Wikipedia in and of itself.

    Aloha please do not delete this page. I am real, I am relevant, and I will be on the ballot in November as a choice for all of Hawaii. I would like to start by stating that if I was an R or D I don't think there would be as much of a call for the page's deletion. I welcome critique to make this page more engaging and substantial, but some of these comments are petty and it shows. In 2020 I raised the money, I got the votes, and I even won some film awards while doing it, but I didn't think it was relevant enough for a wikipedia page yet. Now that I am running for US Senate I believe by not having a page puts me at more of a disadvantage than even my 3rd party affiliation. The people trust Wikipedia, and it is the first destination for people searching to learn about something new. I love wikipedia, I believe it is the new Library of Alexandria and our modern Akashic Record. Wikipedia levels the playing field to the access of information and knowledge to anyone with internet access, instead of holding it for ransom behind pay walls and dusty libraries of Ivy League Universities. I will never stop running for office or stop using every breath in my body to be a steward for the people and freedom. I expect the same drive from the Wikipedia community, to never stop curating and sharing knowledge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Feenabonoan (talkcontribs) 03:52, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Feenabonoan: All Wikipedia articles, no matter who or what they are about, must satisfy the criteria elaborated in the general notability guidelines. The crucial problem is that the editors contributing here do not feel there is enough reliable sourcing to demonstrate notability. However, as I indicated above, if the contest in Hawaii grows, and sourcing becomes available that satisfies the criteria (also bearing in mind subjects notable only for one event), an article can be recreated.

This has been recently nominated for deletion discussion on pl wiki (pl:Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/artykuły/2022:02:23:Metoda równych udziałów), with a note that the creator of this article likely has a COI (the only other page they created is that for one of the co-authors of the paper cited in the Method., see ongoing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Piotr Skowron).

  • The reason why "Method of Equal Shares" gives only 2 hits is because the rule has been previously called Rule X in the early papers. The original paper has 33 citations. This is the list of papers studying the rule:

    • As I pointed out in pl discussion, even if the above papers discuss this theory in WP:SIGCOV (which is not apparent from their titles), they are almost all co-authored by one person (Piotr Skowron). There is no evidence of wider recognition for this theory. A short summary could be merged to Skowron's biography. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:21, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete At best this could be a sentence in Participatory budgeting algorithm. Lamona (talk) 19:01, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • A few arguments for keeping:
    1. The method is taught at courses at major universities and is described in a book. For example, it is taught at Harvard https://sites.google.com/view/optdemocracy22/schedule (the lecture about participatory budgeting, the name of the rule used there is Rule X), and at the University of Warsaw. It is described in the book being published by Springer (the open-access version is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.01795). There, the method is called Rule X, and is mentioned 50+ times. Springer is a serious scientific publisher; the topics covered in books are those which are considered established in the literature.
    2. Analogous pages exist for analogous methods.. Examples include Proportional approval voting, Sequential proportional approval voting, Satisfaction approval voting, and many others. The knowledge of how to implement proportionality in committee elections is covered at Wikipedia. It seems reasonable that the knowledge of how to implement proportionality in the context of participatory budgeting (PB) should be available for common readers, especially given that PB elections are becoming increasingly common.
    3. The topic is relevant for many people. Many people participate in elections, and many cities are now considering introducing participatory budgeting or changing their election methods. It is important that the knowledge of how different methods work is available and easily accessible for general public audience. When talking to a few cities, I noticed people where surprised, when they've heard the example with red and blue projects (the one that is mentioned on the page). They did not expect that the used method returns such results and they were not aware that proportionality can be achieved. In a way, why should they, since this knowledge is not easily accessible.
    4. Citations. Regarding recognition, pointed out by User:Piotrus, the articles mentioned above are those that define the method, and study their properties. In order to check how often the method is referenced in the literature, one would need to look at papers that cite these works. For example, the query <<"Rule X" Peters Skowron>> in Google Scholar returns 46 hits. Yet, some papers refer to this method not using its name explicitly, so the number of references can be larger. Is couple of dozens of references in the scientific publications a lot (given that the method has been proposed three years ago)? I think that yes, but this is a subjective criterion. For comparison the query "Sequential proportional approval voting" returns 35 hits. Note that WP:GNG does not specify how many times the name should be mentioned.
    5. Satisfaction of WP:GNG. Notice that the papers that I have mentioned went through the review process, where their soundness and significance was judged by independent researchers. The fact that there were several papers published on the specific rule in top venues in computational social choice (NeurIPS, AAAI, IJCAI, EC; I recommend looking for "ranking of computer science conferences") means that this research and knowledge is accepted and important for the relevant community. In particular there exist reliable and independent sources for the knowledge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Motzarcik (talkcontribs) 05:49, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Motzarcik we would still need significant sources to support the article. You seem to know of sources so please list them. Numbers of hits on searches is not sufficient given all of the shortcomings of search engines. Also note that Google scholar does list some articles by the authors you mention (Peters and Skowron) but the number of citations given for them (10, 9, 7, 5, 1, 1) is not very high.

  • Lamona, I've updated the reference list in the article. I hope this will be now clearer how this is referenced in the literature and how this relates to other concepts and topics (see the "properties" section). The citation numbers for the works that define the method in different settings are actually higher (12, 33, 3, 13), giving 61 in total. This is a lot for papers in Computational social choice. For all the works that are now referenced in the article, these are (12, 33, 3, 13, 86, 39, 220, 7, 51, 66, 81) (I put the numbers in the order in which they are used in the article). Motzarcik (talk) 12:08, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Motzarcik I looked at all of those I can access but do not see "method of equal shares" in them. If this is a named method, I would expect to see it in them. Taking this one for example, if you search on "equal shares" you get zero hits in the source. That would make the statement: "MES with adjusting initial budget, PAV and Phragmen's voting rules can all be viewed as an extension of the D'Hondt method to the setting where the voters can vote for individual candidates rather than for political parties" original research because that conclusion is not reached in the article. Three of them have information about Rule X. At best, this article could be titled "Rule X" and only those sources that describe Rule X would be referenced. Lamona (talk) 14:15, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Lamona, thanks for the comments:

        Let me first explain the issue with the name. In this Wiki article, there is the statement "In early papers the method has been also referred to as Rule X", provided as footnote 1. Indeed, in paper [2], in the version that has been published (https://openreview.net/pdf?id=5rm0b_fsNZ) the authors wrote that they decided to name the rule "Method of Equal Shares". Indeed, in the original paper that first defined the rule ([3]), the authors wrote "which we give the preliminary name Rule X", suggesting that this is a temporary choice. Note that "Method of Equal Shares" and "Rule X" is exactly the same rule, and the authors of [3] are the superset of the authors of [2], thus the authors who initially defined the method are those who decided to change the name. I've seen three papers in review which are using the name MES already. Indeed, we can use in this article the name "Rule X", but I think it would be better to respect the decision of the authors, also given that the name "Method of Equal Shares" is more informative (intuitively, "equal shares" appear twice: first, each voter is assigned an equal share of the budget, and second, once a candidate is selected, each voter who voted for the candidate is burden with an equal share of the cost of the candidate). Perhaps, saying that the method is also called Rule X in the first line of the article (not in the footnote) would avoid further confusion. What do you think?

        Regarding the D'Hondt method: in [3] (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.11747.pdf), Proposition 2 says that Rule X (MES) satisfies priceability, and Theorem 3 says that priceability implies the fact that the method behaves as the D'Hondt method in the apportionment setting. This is exactly the same interpretation as the one taken in [12]. Thus, the statement "MES with adjusting initial budget, PAV and Phragmen's voting rules can all be viewed as an extension of the D'Hondt method to the setting where the voters can vote for individual candidates rather than for political parties" is not original research, but has been proved in independent sources. However, you are right that I did not add the mentioned reference in the right place, which I am now correcting. I hope this is now clear. Please let me know. Motzarcik (talk) 17:04, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

        • We still need sources that refer to this as the "method of equal shares". I didn't find any, so if you have some, please link to them here. Lamona (talk) 22:28, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • Sigh That article nowhere has the term "method of equal squares" or even "equal squares". To have an article that is presumably about a method called "equal squares" you need sources that call it "equal squares". That article does mention Rule X but is not significantly about Rule X. Lamona (talk) 22:29, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          • That seems wrong on two counts. Excluding sources because they happen to use the old name for something seems like a daft idea, that would have serious impact upon some countries, for starters. ☺ And for an article that supposedly isn't about Rule X, it seems to devote a fair number of pages, and an entire appendix, to proving multiple theorems about Rule X. Uncle G (talk) 02:34, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
            • Uncle G, you misunderstood me, perhaps because this thread is so long. We need some evidence that MES is the new name, and that needs to be shown in sources. So it's not because it's the new name, it's because we don't have evidence that it is the new name. I'm suggesting that unless we have such evidence, the article should be called "Rule X" because that is what the sources listed are about. It is possible that there are sufficient sources for Rule X, I really don't know, but the article appears to have a fair amount of WP:OR, which would need to be removed. Also, the article that Motzarcik lists as evidence that Rule X has been changed to be MES and they are the same, actually says: "Recently, Peters and Skowron [2020] introduced an aggregation rule for approval-based committee elections that they called Rule X. In that setting the rule satisfies a combination of appealing proportionality properties. Here, we extend it to the more general model of participatory budgeting, that is, to the model with arbitrary costs and utilities. We will call this rule the Method of Equal Shares (in short, MES)" which sounds to me that they are not one and the same, but one is derived from the other. So I ask: cannot the MES article stand on its own, without being sourced primarily to articles about Rule X? Given that the cited article that coins the term "MES" is from 2022 it may be WP:TOOSOON. Lamona (talk) 16:46, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
              Lamona: Rule X is exactly the same as MES. The paper that you refer to has also its arxiv version, which is older (2020), and where the authors use the name Rule X: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.13276.pdf. The two articles contain definitions of the rules, so you can check that this is indeed the new name that is used by the authors (I guess, the authors got a feedback, that the name Rule X is not informative and decided for a change). The authors write that they extend the rule to the setting of PB, because if costs of projects are equal to one this is exactly the setting of committee elections, and the two definitions are then exactly the same. This is common that the same object is referred to differently in different literature. For example, Turing machine was first called "a-machine" in the original work. Sequential proportional approval voting is sometimes called greedy proportional approval voting or reweighed approval voting. Still we use sources using both names. Of course, we can call the article "Rule X", but I do not see a clear reason why we should change the name that was suggested by the authors. Lamona, what is the criterion for using the name? If I write to the authors with a question, and if they decide to update the first article in ArXiv (the one that uses the name Rule X) to use the new name, will you be satisfied? Motzarcik (talk) 18:34, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          • Lamona, I've changed the page to include the following explanation in the first sentence "(in early papers the method has been also referred to as Rule X[2,3,4], but since 2022 the authors started using the name "method of equal shares"[1])". The link to [1] is indeed the link to the version that uses the name MES, and that says that this is indeed Rule X. For the paper which you say only mentions Rule X (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.11747.pdf), note that except for introducing the definitions, Theorems 7, 8, 9 are purely about Rule X. Proposition 1, Proposition 2, and Theorem 3 are about the axiom of priceability, which is satisfied only by Rule X and Phragmen's sequential rule (Proposition 2), so these results are also about Rule X (in particular, Theorem 3 implies that Rule X extends the D'Hond't method). Theorems 4 and 10 show that welfarist rules (like Proportional Approval Voting (PAV)) do not satisfy some of the axioms of proportionality. Only Theorems 5 and 6 are about PAV. This paper is very much about Rule X (it introduces the rule, and introduces axioms, by which it compares Rule X to PAV---and more generally to welfarist rules---and to the Phragmen sequential rule).

2. "Have fought for the highest title of a top-tier MMA organization" - McKenzie has never fought in a top-tier promotion, so obviously hasn't fought for the title in one

I'm sure there's an article to be had about the US incongruent foreign policy but this isn't it - this is largely WP:OR and an essay and otherwise not encyclopedic. I can't see a way that this could be cleaned up to be encyclopedic as opposed to someone's thesis/opinion paper.

The Case of US Foreign Policy was probably supposed to be the backbone of this article, but the poor conceptual framework of the journal article and the catch-all "hypocrisy" title of this Wikipedia article make it not sustainable. I don't think hypocrisy is a conceptual framework in international relations or foreign policy analysis (although comparing mismatches between rhetoric and foreign policy is interesting), but "hypocrisy in foreign policy" would probably need its own article and not be so US-focused (otherwise it's just seems to go against NPOV).

I initially tagged this with {{Prod}} but it was untagged without explanation by 204.112.130.227 (talk · contribs · WHOIS).

The subject is an American soccer player who has received recent national press coverage after she was found dead from suicide. The article is likely a case of WP:SINGLEEVENT and WP:RECENTISM.

All of the significant, third-party coverage of her is due to her death. All the other sources are WP:ROUTINE, except for a high school student newspaper that mentions her involvement in a Nickelodeon reality show. Beyond the single event, I don't think there's enough coverage to meet WP:GNG and she doesn't meet WP:NFOOTY criteria. Adeletron 3030 (talkedits) 13:49, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - This is an interesting case. Her suicide has been HEAVILY covered by pretty much every outlet in the US and has been used to draw attention to mental health concerns with American young people. But that is, as the nominator points out, WP:SINGLEEVENT. The reason it is interesting to me is that Meyer was also the subject of a viral video in 2019 of her celebrations after getting the match-winning save on a PK for a national championship, it was even named on a lot of "top sports plays of 2019" lists (example). But I looked for any other coverage - profiles, human interest stories, etc., and can't find anything else significant. Rikster2 (talk) 16:58, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Interesting indeed. I don't know enough of the subject area to know if there is enough (or any) coverage of her before her death. However, there could be a lasting impact, similar to the cases of Olivia Podmore and Kelly Catlin, albeit they were both notable before they died. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:45, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    So I bring up WP:RECENTISM, because like you say, her passing might be remembered in a larger discussion about mental health but there's no way to know now. As Rikster points out, she did have some notoriety because of her heroics in a championship game, but there's not enough coverage of her overall life and career. Adeletron 3030 (talkedits) 18:35, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    • It is not disingenuous at all - there are not currently any independent WP:RS about her and the 2019 championship on the article.

  • I'm the nominator and I think I'm leaning towards weak keep now, mostly based on links shared by Alvaldi. Individually, I don't know that they're enough (the first is a "local girl done good" story from her hometown paper and the third is from a Stanford-focused vertical of SBNation so neither is completely independent coverage), but together and in combination with the coverage of her passing, I think they get us to WP:GNG. I think this article is fine, though I wonder if sites like SB and the Athletic with hyperfocused coverage of individual teams end up opening up WP:GNG to more sportspeople who haven't played at the highest levels. Adeletron 3030 (talkedits) 16:35, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I think I'd count the two SBNation articles as one source, and when added to the lengthy Just Women's Sports interview already on the article and the post-death coverage I think she meets GNG. Rikster2 (talk) 19:58, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - There still is not a single in-depth source about this location. Most of the sources are simply links to map locations, which are unreliable sources. The French article is woefully undersourced, and would not pass GNG on English WP. To show notability you have to have in-depth sourcing about this place.

@Wikiourembaya: The issue we have with the article is not bias and writing about a place with a different culture gives it no exception from Wikipedia's article guidelines. The problem is that the sources you are using for the article are other Wikipedia articles, Google searches, and other unreliable sources; see Wikipedia:Verifiability.

  • David Mead's sixth and seventh albums — Dudes (2011) and Cobra Pumps (2019), respectively — were self-released, which means that press coverage and reviews were harder to come by than when he was on labels like RCA earlier in his career. Until January of this year, Mead's Wikipedia page contained few citations, and the same was true of the pages for his pre-2011 albums. I've attempted to remedy that situation, as you'll see in the various pages' "View history" tabs, and will continue to do so, and I created pages for Dudes and Cobra Pumps so that his entire discography is represented. In my opinion, these pages shouldn't be deleted or "redirected" to Mead's page. I promise I'm not trying to be difficult. Addred85 (talk) 13:26, 4 March 2022 (UTC)Addred85[reply]

Nonnotable fictional character. The character has appeared in one film only, Lights Out (2016 film). The infobox claims she also appeared in the three-minute short film Lights Out (2013 film), but the character was not given a name until the 2016 film. There is no indication of this character having any significance outside the film she appears in. (She's no Freddy, Jason, or Michael Myers!) —Mahāgaja · talk 12:43, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Doesn't seem to be any - I did a more vague search and when the film is mentioned in lists of this type it's about the film as opposed to the character. If the sequel had come out then I think that there would be a higher chance of the character appearing in such lists but the sequel seems to have gone into development hell.

  • Merge based on my own search engine test which does not seem to indicate that the fictional character warrants their own standalone article. I think there are two reasons to have standalone articles, one being that the character was standout in coverage (Anton Chigurh comes to mind), or the other being that so much is written about a particular character that it warrants being a sub-article of the film article. An example of that would be Long Duk Dong; he wasn't particularly standout at the time, but retrospective coverage have assessed the character critically. Here, I'm not finding Diana to be that kind of standout character or to have substantial enough content to warrant their own article. Also, if this article happens to be kept, I think Diana (Lights Out) would be the better article title since "Walter" doesn't seem used by many sources.

Merge. There is a reception section but it seems too superficial to warrant a stand-alone article. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:31, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. I haven't been able to find anything to show that this character is notable on their own. There are a handful of sources released in the years following the film's release, but not really anything that would firmly show that the character is considered to be independently notable. Mostly they're tongue in cheek, like saying Starlight from The Boys could instantly defeat her. (Which I mean, would absolutely be the case given her powers.) Anything that's in here could be merged into the respective sections on the film and short articles. I'd recommend redirecting with history to the main film article - although I would also recommend a name change per Erik's suggestion.

    • That's a long list of hits from ProQuest search. Have you looked through them? Some of your links are so blatantly inappropriate that I'm not sure if this wasn't WP:REFBOMBing. Still, let's go through.
On sources you claim cover NAUTHOR #3
  • IWMBuzz isn't even considered reliable for Indian films, their main coverage area.
  • Republic is a deprecated source.
  • This ToI review literally has "micro-review" in its head. It can't possibly be WP:SIGCOV. Note also that WP:NFSOURCES (while not applicable directly) has wording that specifically bars these "capsule reviews".
  • All the UNI (a wire agency) reports are credited to the same author. The article on When the chief fell in love is clearly not a review. The one on Of Love & Politics uses identical words (Aditya Samar Singh aristocratic, Brajesh Ranjan overtly nationalistic agenda) as TNIE and is mostly made up of dialogs copied from the book instead of any significant independent content. The one on Edge of Desire uses same lines from the book's blurb. Neither appears to have been carried by any WP:RS. Combined with UNI's unknown reliability, there is enough to doubt the independence of these articles.
  • Beyond Of Love and Politics (which itself can be argued with, but I haven't looked in detail), none of these books could be considered significant enough for Wikipedia. The current state, where none of those books have articles on them, reflects it.
On the sources you claim suitable for GNG -
  • Business Standard is actually from IANS, a newswire, but also carried by other newswires like ANI. Without a by-line or a credit, this routine announcement is indistinguishable from a press release.
  • The three Telegraph pieces ([23], [24],[25]) are all book launch announcements, by the same author who has reused the same general structure and even identical bio blurbs (Before penning books, Tuhin also used to write screenplays for Hindi daily soaps. ... Finishing school in 1995, Tuhin then went on to pursue graduation in commerce from Hindu College, Delhi. He also holds a diploma from National Institute of Advertising.) since his first book release in 2008. The rest of those articles are made up of author quotes and they are basically interviews. The extreme similarity of the article on "Have a Safe Journey" launch to other articles covering it (similar lines on author lists, road safety awareness, Minister's foreword, CEO's message - all in that same order), brings into question the independence of these articles.
  • The remaining Telegraph article actually covers a speech he made and is full of quotes from that speech. It has nothing at all about him apart from Sinha, who is a novelist, a BJP spokesperson in Mumbai and an advisor to the ministry Hemantha (talk) 06:30, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recreated some time after being deleted in 2007 at the first AfD, so ineligible for PROD. Gaelic football is distinct from association football and is therefore not governed by WP:NFOOTY. GF does not have its own SNG under WP:NSPORTS, so we have to rely on GNG, which the subject does not meet based on a search. Have been unable to verify if the subject meets the actual SNG for Gaelic football, WP:NGAELIC. ♠PMC(talk) 03:32, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Guliolopez you are correct and I apparently need my vision checked. I've struck that part of my argument. I haven't been able to verify whether he played at the SNG level; the only Gaelic Football stats site I could find was FinalWhistle, and that only shows 2021 for some reason: [27]. I did find some coverage of him in the Irish Examiner, but it's fairly routine game/injury reporting so I'm not sure he hits GNG. ♠PMC(talk) 01:27, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. I have found and added a number of refs which appear to confirm that WP:NGAELIC is met (Gaelic footballer who has played at senior inter-county level [in league or championship]). A claim to notability under WP:GNG is weaker. As there are limited independent/biographical sources of which the subject is the primary topic. But there are a few/scant examples.

Dear Wikipedia librarians, I am really very surprised and disappointed by the conclusions you have reached regarding the article on Dr. Luis Fernando Cifuentes. He is a prestigious Colombian doctor who in 1997 made a valuable scientific contribution by correlating the relationship between ascorbic acid or vitamin C in the creation of nitric oxide from saliva. He has also made other important contributions in the use of analgesics in the fields of osteoarthritis, neuropathic pain, neurostimulation, among others.

He is a very prestigious scientist who is a member of world-class organisations such as the American College of Clinical Pharmacology, the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research and the International Association for the Study of Pain. He is also an member of the National Academy of Medicine.

I really find it hard to understand that because the subject of the article has decided to pay an editor to create the article since he does not know how to do it, one can already draw the conclusion that the article lacks neutrality. I would like to know where in the article there is a glimpse of bias. The conclusions you have reached are really incomprehensible. The article was published a year ago and was in force without any problem until it was declared to contain paid contributions. And with only that element, you guys come to all these conclusions and consider that the article should be eliminated? Please be more serious!

This is an interesting article for Wikipedia because it has scientific rigour and is encyclopaedic in nature, which is the basis of the content to be published on this platform. Please I ask you to remove the tags that have been added and that the article continues to be valid as it has been until now, providing interesting information from scientific studies 100% verifiable by the references given and with valuable findings for the subjects under study. Thank you very much!— Juanma281984 🗣️ 17:44, 2 March 2022 (UTC) Note to closing admin: Juanma281984 (talkcontribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD. [reply]

2022 Muntinlupa local elections[edit]

2022 Muntinlupa local elections (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article contains the assertion "Local elections were held in Muntinlupa on May 13, 2022"...

That could simply be re-written as "Local elections will be held in Muntinlupa on May 13, 2022" (please see the Commission on Elections (Philippines) countdown - "59 days before the May 9, 2022 National and Local Elections".

In my opinion, that would be quite inappropriate for a number of reasons, including but not limited to:

  • pure speculation about an election that has yet to happen
  • un-referenced speculation about living people who may contest that election

This article could be moved to a notional Draft:2022 Muntinlupa local elections until they happen. That would appear to me a way forward. I would argue that wait from 10 Mar 2022 to 9 May 2022 is too long to retain WP:CRYSTALBALL-ing about living people.

  • Speedy keep or withdraw the nomination and stop wasting our time. Unless Putin or Xi Jinping invades the Philippines, 2022 Philippine general election will surely happen. Campaigning for national positions began last month, and campaigning for local positions will begin in March 26. I've also added a reference about the election and made some clean-ups. I suppose a withdrawal of the nomination is in order? Howard the Duck (talk) 12:29, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep if I have understood the nomination correctly, or if the nomination cannot be understood. The nominator appears to be objecting to advance articles about planned elections in constitutional democracies. Wikipedia has many articles about planned elections in constitutional democracies, such as 2022 gubernatorial election in Maryland, which is six months later. Is there a problem with a verb tense? So fix it. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:05, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Howard the Duck and Robert McClenon. To be honest, I clearly don't understand what the nominator's said behind the reason for deletion as it basically almost like a discussion on a talk page (although the last part is 18%-ish reason but the rest isn't either).

I don't see any sources about this place other than the book listed. Judging by the description, the article seems to be nonnotable: it had a post office for at least three years. I assume it was only written because of GNIS. However, if anybody has the book available to them, they can verify.

Based on the description in the article, this was probably located in what is now Piedmont or North Oakland. There is currently a Monte Vista Avenue in that area. —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 02:37, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • When looking at BBC Three idents (AfD discussion) I discovered that the article that we (fortunately, see later) do not have, BBC Two idents, has entire book chapters, going through the idents one by one.

    Moreover: That nomination rationale is a terrible one, not founded in Project:deletion policy. We don't delete things just because the information exists elsewhere. Indeed, we only include things when the information exists elsewhere. Nor do we delete things because they are Project:summary style sub-articles.

    That said, the existence of History of BBC television idents and the fact that no-one has actually gone to look for the outright books on this subject (which have lots on Two, but not Three and Four), and that all three of the places where we cover this are solely based upon WWW sites named "TV ARK" and suchlike, does mean that there's just been uncritical dumping into three separate places in Wikipedia. But it does not take the administrator deletion tool to fix this, just an editor with a bit of willingness to pull the finger out, read the books, and mercilessly merge with the ordinary editing tool.

    There's another channel with a lot written about its idents that I kept turning up because I thought that "channel" might be a good restrictive search term. It turns out not to be.

    And in another demonstration of Wikipedia not having the articles that the good sources write about, and having the articles that the good sources do not write about, History of BBC television idents does not have BBC Wales at all.
    • Blandford, Steve; McElroy, Ruth. "Promoting Public Service? Branding, Place and BBC Cymru Wales' Idents, Promos and Trailers". Journal of British Cinema and Television. 8 (3): 392–410. doi:10.3366/jbctv.2011.0046. ISSN 1743-4521.

    Yes, I had a what-the-Hell moment and tried Scotland just to see. Not a peep in BBC Radio Scotland. Of course. Three duplicate articles on the unstudied stuff, no content on the studied.

Violates WP:NOTDATABASE and does not meet WP:GNG as a non-notable Olympian.

He competed as part of a team of 22 Dutch Gymnasts in the 1908 Olympics, with his team coming second last, with us knowing little beyond that; just when and where he was born and died. BilledMammal (talk) 05:25, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Violates WP:NOTDATABASE, being sourced only to databases, and does not meet WP:GNG as a non-notable Olympian who competed as part of a team of 45 British Gymnasts in the 1908 Olympics, with his team coming last. BilledMammal (talk) 05:19, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Violates WP:NOTDATABASE" isn't true or relevant, as the article is not 1)Summary-only descriptions of works, 2)Lyrics databases, 3)Excessive listings of unexplained statistics or 4)Exhaustive logs of software updates. His bio states a lengthy career in gymnastics, along with another one in the RAF. Maybe there is more info in newspapers, etc from the time. If not, worst case is redirect to Gymnastics at the 1908 Summer Olympics – Men's team per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R#KEEP and WP:CHEAP. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 10:15, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Meshkar's company “EA Home Design” was deleted via AfD [31] back in Dec 2021. It was recreated about two weeks ago under a different title but also deleted [32].

While this article is about the founder and not the company, it more or less suffers from the same issues (paid promotion/lacking independent coverage). Seeking deletion for failing WP:NBIO. KH-1 (talk) 00:48, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b: The Forbes piece does not meet RS requirements, as it is a contributor piece and thus fails WP:FORBESCON on WP:RSP. --Kbabej (talk) 16:49, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete we lack sufficient indepdent secondary sources that are reliable to demonstrate notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:04, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep [34], [35], [36], look promising. I suspect there's a significant media coverage. Codabray (talk) 15:09, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Codabray: Of the sources you mentioned, the first (on mint) mentions the subject twice with his quotes; there is no independent analysis of the subject. There is also no author byline; it's written by "HT Brand Studio", which I'm assuming is some sort of promotional tool. The second on Entrepreneur is an op-ed piece. The third on Forbes is by a contributor and thus fails WP:FORBESCON on WP:RSP. So unfortunately, no, none of the sources you mentioned meet the RS requirement. Kbabej (talk) 16:47, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Codabray: Also, you're the creator of this article. Wouldn't you include the best sourcing from the article's creation? How do you not know if there's more significant media coverage if you've done the research and determined the subject is notable enough to have a WP page? --Kbabej (talk) 17:10, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This article is basically a promotional CV. As stated above, the sources don't meet the RS requirements. Here goes my assessment, though please forgive not using an assessment table:
1. The Forbes article is by a contributor and thus fails WP:FORBESCON on WP:RSP.
2. The Entrepreneur article is an op-ed piece.
3. The Homesnap is a company listing of his daughter and does not mention the subject. [Since removed.]
4. The Mint piece mentions the subject twice with his quotes; there is no independent analysis of the subject. There is also no author byline; it's written by "HT Brand Studio", which I'm assuming is some sort of promotional tool.
5. The Chartable piece is an interview.
6. The TuneIn source is another interview on a podcast.
7. The JP source is about his company, not him. It mentions his name once. The company has already been determined to be not notable.
8. The Architecture Art Designs article has no byline and mentions the subject's name once. The company has already been determined to be not notable.
10. The Lianna Marketing page doesn't even mention the subject, and even if it did, it would be his own website. [Since removed.]
Overall, these sources are terrible and I could not find one that fit our RS requirements. The subject is clearly not notable and this article is only here for promo purposes. --Kbabej (talk) 16:58, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
