Contested draftification, so off to AfD. Company fails WP:NCORP, and it's a particularly egregious case of WP:ADMASQ, almost to the line of a G11. Contrary to the article's claim, it does not appear on the 2024 FT 1000 list (not that that would confer notability if it did). The rest of the sources are limited to:

  • After another inspection, it appears there's some actual analyst coverage here, The company was also covered by Gartner Analyst Tori Paulman as a Cool Vendor, and The company is also featured on analyst firm Fosway's Learning Management 9-grid by Senior Analyst Fiona Leteney as well as the Talent and People Success 9-grid by Chief Insight Officer David Perring both theoretically link actual analyst reports behind them. Here's the problem: it's all paywalled. If somebody has access and could confirm these analyst reports contain significant coverage and aren't just entries in lists, I'd be open to a weak keep. ~ A412 talk! 17:59, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Please note that Gartner Cool Vendor is not a Gartner list - the Cool Vendor nomenclature will only be given to organizations who challenge the thought process of at least 3 Gartner analysts because the publication will mention a specific company by name - other Cool Vendors are the likes of AirBnB, Atlassian, Splunk, Slack ... most went on to change industries 188.177.23.247 (talk) 15:30, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Minor royal and non-notable business exec. Sole claim to fame seems to be a lot of awards received from her own family, though sources on the awards are pretty thin on the ground. In a WP:BEFORE search I could find only passing mentions in Malay and English. A redirect might be the best alternative to deletion, but I couldn't work out an appropriate target, so brought it to AFD for discussion. Wikishovel (talk) 14:30, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contested draftification of an article on a non-notable actor. There is no reliable source for the WP:OR claim that she was the oldest-ever actor who had appeared in Doctor Who (not that that is even a claim to notability). The source for this claim appears to be a Doctor Who wiki. She fails WP:NACTOR as her handful of roles appear to be minor parts, and they are sourced to IMDb, an unreliable source. She fails WP:GNG/WP:NBIO for lack of coverage in independent, reliable sources. There are a couple of articles in a hyper-local village newsletter ([12], [13]), another WP:SPS ([14]), and a self-published as-told-to quasi-autobiography. As for WP:ANYBIO #1, I looked into her Fellowship in the Royal Society of Arts, but it's not a rare honor (there are 31,000 active Fellows) and can be acquired by online application and payment of a fee. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:58, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dclemens1971: Hello. I understand. However, what I do not understand is how some articles such as this one are accepted but not others. This seems like discrimination. There are people as notable as Peggy Batchelor or less notable than her who have pages. Please explain. Spectritus (talk) 15:04, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not discrimination in any way. It's about independent, secondary, reliable sources. IMDB isn't a reliable source. Wendover News is not likely an independent source. Peggy Batchelor's as-told-to, self-published autobiography is not a reliable, independent, or secondary sources. Pointing to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS doesn't make Batchelor any more notable. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:13, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dclemens1971: Doesn't the fact someone wrote a book about her make her notable enough? Also, may I ask how users are supposed to find sources if Wikipedia condemns almost all of them?
The author wrote a book "as told to" her, which means it's basically Peggy Batchelor talking about herself, and thus not independent. And the biography was published by AuthorHouse, which is a vanity press and thus it's a WP:SELFPUBLISHED source and not reliable. English Wikipedia does not condemn almost all sources; it has specific standards, and the ones you used in this article don't meet them. If you have questions about individual sources or sourcing more generally, please visit WP:RSN. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:25, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Zero coverage found for this individual, acting roles are minor, would not pass notability for actors. A voice role in Doctor Who isn't the stuff of notability. Oaktree b (talk) 19:45, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete She was featured in only 1-2 episodes of each TV show she was in and played relatively minor roles in films. The article itself seems to be fixated on the (likely original research) trivia of her having once been the oldest person who had been a cast member of Doctor Who, which as we discussed in this AfD, isn't particularly relevant or notable.

  • Note I agree this would be better in draft space. She also had a stage career, which has not been included in the article yet. I am sourcing and adding references and information, and will then consider whether she meets notability guidelines. If she is, the article needs editing, as it reads more like a eulogy than an encyclopaedic entry. RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:14, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Having found and added sources, I think that she does meet WP:BASIC. There are multiple, independent sources, some substantial, some less so, but they add up. There is coverage across her life in both national newspapers and local papers around the UK (around England, and also Northern Ireland and Scotland). The article could still use some work - I'll work on the lede and info box. RebeccaGreen (talk) 02:55, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Unfortunately, I cannot view the many British Newspaper Archive links you added since I don't subscribe and it's not available through the Wikipedia Library. However, I looked at a few of the other links you added and they don't seem to add up:
    None of these adds up to WP:SIGCOV. Can you better characterize the British Newspaper Archive sources so editors can properly evaluate them? Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:09, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    As I wrote, I think that she meets WP:BASIC - "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." The number of times a source is referenced gives an idea of the amount of detail in the sources - the profiles of her published in newspapers in Tyne and Wear and Cambridgeshire are particularly detailed, while the Belfast source has a bit less. There is more detail in The Stage article about the drama school she founded in Essex that I have not included. There is coverage over many years - 1925, 1938, 1947 all deriving from her appearances at the Wembley Tattoo; 1946-1966 in stage shows; 1970s-1980s as founder of a drama school and as a nationally recognised adjudicator.
    You mention that being a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts is not a rare honour. Being a Fellow of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama is - information online [15] states "The Guildhall School offers the following honorary awards for distinguished services to the School and to the profession: the FGSM (Fellow of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama), awarded to distinguished professors, examiners and past students and the Hon GSM (Honorary Member of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama), awarded for services to music or drama and to the Guildhall School. Limited to 100 holders at any one time." That is an indication of her professional standing, in addition to the news coverage about her.
    I am not suggesting that all the sources contribute to notability - 3 of those you link to provide evidence of facts in the article (her appearances in two radio programmes; the date she left the drama school she founded; the facts that she taught at drama festivals as well as adjudicating, and that she worked at drama festivals in Wales as well as England and N. Ireland). RebeccaGreen (talk) 01:34, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Info about sources More info about the sources was requested, so here is the text of the main sources I have found from the 1970s-90s. (Numbers are the current reference numbers in the article.) I included quotes in the article from reviews of her appearances in the 1940s and 50s. As I said above, there is coverage across her life (from 1925-2020) in both national publications and local papers around the UK (from the north-east, east, south-east and south-west of England, as well as Northern Ireland).
  • 1 Next to results of the Ryton Music Festival in the Gateshead Post (in north-east England), a photo of Peggy Batchelor and the following text: "Woman in the festival hot seat PEGGY BATCHELOR F G S M, L G S M who has been adjudicator in the Drama Sections at Ryton Music Festival has had a lifelong association with the Arts, gaining basic training at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and touring many countries during the war with ENSA companies. She then became a founder member of Arts Council West of England Theatre Company followed by radio cabaret and other theatre engagements. Eventually she returned to the Guildhall to become a Professor of Drama and an Examiner for the school. She opened her own school in Essex which she named after a professor who had been such an influence on her life - the Ridley Arts Educational School and Studios."
  • 2 In a Cambridgeshire newspaper (in East Anglia / the east of England), with a photo of Pegggy Batchelor: "To judge the drama THE ADJUDICATOR for this week's Huntingdon Carnival Drama Festival and the “Weekly News" Drama Awards is Peggy Batchelor. Her life has always been associated with the arts - her mother sang at Sadlers Wells and Covent Garden and her father sang semi-professionally. She studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and obtained her performer's diploma. This where she first met Dame Sybil Thorndike who remained a friend. During the war Peggy travelled the world with ENSA companies both as a solo artist and in plays appearing with such people as Vera Lynne George Formby Gracie Fields and many others. After the war she became a founder member of an Arts Council company in the West Country, the company that fostered the talents of Joan Plowright, Edgar Wreford, Charles Jarrott, Malcolm Pride and others. She was invited to appear in a "Scrapbrook" programme for the BBC with Charles Cochran who had known her when she was a child actress dancing before visiting VIPs including most of the crowned heads of Europe. This broadcast led her to being cast in the "Gilbert and Sullivan" series and from that to two years with the BBC. Eventually Peggy decided to concentrate on teaching. She returned to the Guildhall School where she gained her Ministry of Education qualification. She was invited to become an examiner and then a professor of drama. In 1956 she founded the Ridley Studios named after a Guildhall professor who had been such an influence on her life and two years later the Ridley Arts Educational School. She was honoured in 1973 by being made a Fellow of the Guildhall. It is as a member of the Guild of Adjudicators that Peggy is taking part in the Huntingdon Festival which opened at the Commemoration Hall in the town yesterday (Wednesday). There are still tickets left for tonight's and tomorrow's performances which start at 730pm. They cost £1.50 and can be bought at the door. Seven groups are taking part in the festival of one act plays all competing for the best one act play shield and best actor and actress trophies."
  • 12 In the Bucks Herald (in south-east England), three photos of Peggy Batchelor with the text: "Thrills on and off the stage. The real life of actress Peggy Batchelor has been more eventful than that of the characters portrayed in her theatrical roles. She survived a wartime torpedo strike in the Med and being mauled by a tiger to be reunited with the RAF officer parted from her 40 years earlier by war. She tells ALEC BROWN of her adventures. FOR Peggy Batchelor the thrill of working alongside stars on stage, radio and television could only be surpassed by teaching. But it is her acting career, from entertaining the troops during the war to Shakespeare plays and a television soap opera, that has given her great richness of experience to draw on. Peggy, of Mill Mead, Wendover, has spent more than 20 years teaching drama skills. She set up and ran the Ridley Arts Educational School in Leighon-Sea, Essex, and now teaches at the Arts Educational School, Tring, and privately. She also adjudicates for exams, lectures and gives recitals throughout Britain, Ireland and in Hong Kong. Her career began as a schoolgirl in Leigh-on-Sea when she joined an amateur dramatic society. As a teenager she trained at the Guildhall School of Drama, London, where she is now an examiner. World War Two interrupted her studies and she joined ENSA — the Entertainments National Services Association. It was then she starred alongside big names like Vera Lynn, Gracie Fields, George Formby, and David Nixon, who later became famous as a television magician. “Vera Lynn was fantastic,” said Peggy. She would go off in a jeep and wherever there were a few men, she would just stop and sing to them. “Some of the ENSA artists were just so brave and really great people. You were all the same — nobody was treated as a star, you all worked together.” After touring hospitals in Britain, Peggy went to West Africa and was on her way to Egypt with ENSA when their boat was torpedoed in the Mediterranean Sea. They spent seven hours in a lifeboat before being picked up. “Between all the work and sometimes rather tragic and uncomfortable situations there were also all these great maments of seeing wonderful places and meeting interesting people,” said Peggy. Then she joined a company which toured India, entertaining troops who were stopping the Japanese advance. She got to know the director of the Tatanagor Steelworks and his two pet tigers. She had loved the animals from childhood and often played with the two pets. But one day one of the tigers turned on her and mauled her. in carbolic and a stay in hospital luckily left her just with scars. But she still loves tigers. In hospital she met an RAF officer in the Medical Corps, who comforted her when she was having terrible nightmares. They formed a close bond but were separated by the war. Then, in 1984, Arthur, by then an Air Commodore, traced Peggy after his wife had died. “We knew it was love and we married,” said Peggy. After the war, she had joined a stage company formed from the ranks of the RAF, which included Bob Monkhouse. Peggy left them to join the West of England Theatre Company, whose president was J.B. Priestley. He picked her for the lead in his play She Came to the City. They also performed Shakespeare, Chekov and Noel Coward plays. In the 1950s she worked for BBC Radio in programmes like Dick Barton and Mrs Dale’s Diary, and on stage as part of a comic double act with Benny Hill. There were also parts at the Savoy Theatre, and Victorian variety shows at the Players Theatre alongside budding thespians like Clive Dunn and Hattie Jacques. In the 1960s she trained as a teacher and set up the Ridley School, which she fitted in with theatre tours and television work, including a part in Emergency Ward 10. Her last tour before giving up to concentrate on teaching was with Shelagh Delaney’s A Taste of Honey. Peggy now has an extensive his! of posts, including member of the Guild of Drama Adjudicators, vicechairman of the Society of Teachers of Speech and Drama and vice president of Aylesbury Arts Festival. As a member of the British Federation of Music Festivals, she met the Queen last summer at the federation’s 70th anniversary celebrations. She feels teaching is the most rewarding part of her career. “I feel communicating is so terribly important, and when you can see somebody blossom and gain confidence, it is so satisfying.” But she has not forgotten her past: “It's lovely going on stage and getting applause at the end. Once on stage, you forget yourself completely. I loved it.”
  • 13 In the Belfast Telegraph (in Ireland), with a photo of Peggy Batchelor with two of the competitors from the sonnet recital class: "Festival talent is praised by actress. NOEL COWARD, Vera Lynn. George Formby, Gracie Fields are among the greats with whom Peggy Batchelor has worked. And this week the English actress is judging at Belfast Musical Festival. Yesterday she began hearing the "small fry" - the young children's verse-speaking - and was impressed. "The standards here are always high because of the excellent teaching. I've been a regular visitor in the past to the Belfast Festival and never have any besitation in visiting Northern Ireland," she said. Peggy has led an eventful life and one of the famous stories about her concerns Noel Coward. When she acted in India some years ago, she was mauled by a tiger, but soon recovered. Coward heard about it and said to her: "Not during the performance, my dear?" Peggy toured with ENSA during the Second World War, but later she turned to teaching and became a professor of drama at the Guildhall School. She pays tribute to the advice of Dame Sybil Thorndike at the school. Dame Sybil, she said, had remained a lifelong friend ever since. The English actress was honoured in 1973, when she was made a Fellow of Guildhall, a distinction shared with such artists as Andre Previn. Dame Janet Baker and Dame Peggy Ashcroft."
  • 26 In The Stage, "'21-Not Out' Southend TWENTY-ONE years ago actress and teacher Peggy Batchelor started Ridley Schools and Studios, now the leading private-enterprise school and dramatic academy in Essex. It was fitting to mark the occasion with a new revue, that genuinely reviewed the problems, like expan sion. and the triumphs, like playing in Berlin, and recording "Oliver" for an American record company. In her brief speech, she forecast the new Ridley Arts Club as the latest addition. The revue, "21 Not Out", at the Cliffs Pavilion, Southend, was cle verly devised by Dennis Boxley and directed by Peggy Batchelor and the faculty, to tell the story, give scope to fifty adults and twenty children, and cover drama, music, mime, opera and choral speaking. Essen tially modern, the direction and choreography were inventive, vibrant and fluent. Among those outstanding were Roland Darvell, Paul Clark and Michael Small. J.K.M."

Fails NOTNEWS. The article does not contain any sources published more than a day or two after the attack, and a BEFORE check confirmed the lack of LASTING coverage. QuicoleJR (talk) 22:54, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The basic premise of the filing is simply false. Aside from the significant breadth of the coverage, it was already covered WP:INDEPTH as early as 7 November by HRW as a potential war crime. It was then mentioned again on 14 November by HRW, so already much more than "a day or two" after, and the coverage has only continued from there. It is mentioned in this 22 January paper in the Springer journal of Intensive Care Medicine. Rainsage flags many more instances of subsequent analytical coverage.

There is no evidence for there ever being a separate 'Yola people'. There is one source that calls the inhabitants of Barony of Forth as Forthers, but that is the same as calling the inhabitants of Galway Galwegians; it's a simple exonym for the people. Outside of that one link, neither of the other two linked sources gives any reference to the people being considered separate. Indeed, one is on farming during the Famine in general, and one is on the last collector of the Forth and Bargy dialect of Middle English. Neither pertain to the 'Yola people' at all. This article is filled with uncited original research, and doesn't meet Wikipedia criteria. Sionnachnaréaltaí (talk) 22:26, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The issue is the Yola dialect page only pertains to the dialect itself, of which there's a lot more information. There's no sources that discuss its speakers ever considering themselves or being considered by others as a distinct ethnic group. The *only* Google Scholar article that shows up when Googling 'Yola People' is Browne's dictionary - and then it's because it has 'A Yola Zong' included in it as well as the word 'people'; no connection between the two. There's basically no sources to use to improve this article, because it's all original research and there is and was no evidence of it being considered separate.
    There's not any evidence on them ever being considered a distinct people. Even Diarmaid Ó Muirithe, who was the reporter on the piece you linked, doesn't call them that in any of his other sources. The only first-page Google result is a Politics.ie forum thread. There's just no sources out there that *can* be used to improve this, as, well, there was never a distinction between them. And the existing sources on it don't show that either. Sionnachnaréaltaí (talk) 12:17, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect the (frankly somewhat limited) cited text to Yola dialect. Likely to the "history" section. Which already covers much of the same content/context. While I don't necessarily agree with the nominator's suggestion that there is "no evidence for there ever being a separate [group]", the simple fact is that - from what I can tell - there is insufficient reliable/independent sources to support the text of this article. Or to expand it. As a standalone title. I propose merging/redirecting as an WP:ATD-R. Because (a) most/all of the sources (and therefore the text) of the article deal with the language/dialect (rather than the people who speak it), (b) what limited text there is on other cultural elements (mumming, patterns, etc) isn't cited and doesn't address how many of these activities are/were also undertaken elsewhere in Ireland (and could, if cited, be covered in summary in the proposed target), and (c) the "rest" of the article is mostly just context. The same context we find in the Yola dialect article. This level of overlap (in sourcing, context and text) means that all of the WP:MERGEREASONs apply.... Guliolopez (talk) 10:10, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think there's much to merge. Most of the stuff that isn't already in the Yola dialect article is uncited, or wouldn't pertain to the dialect (.i. farming habits of the Baronies). I'd welcome any sourced stuff on the dialect to be merged however. Sionnachnaréaltaí (talk) 12:22, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - There is no evidence to suggest these people ever existed as a separate ethnic group. The word 'Yola' used to describe the dialect of this area is very recent and probably a misunderstanding of 'a yola song' which means 'an old song'. Many of the traditions mentioned here such as mumming and patterns aren't unique to the area and barely anything in the entire article is sourced.

Fails NBIO. NBIO requires that biography subjects be "worthy of notice" or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" I am just not seeing evidence that this person is particularly remarkable or passes WP:GNG. The last source (The Coborn Centre for Adolescent Mental Health website) doesn't have any coverage of Coborn. Eastendtalking (archived copy [17]) looks like a self-published website that doesn't count towards notability. The History of County of Middlesex source only briefly mentions Prisca in a couple of sentences in the context of her founding the school and I would only consider it passing coverage. A search on scholar brings up no additional sigcov [18]. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:26, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. A rare case of a pre-20th-century, non-noble woman who achieved lasting memory for her actions. There are book sources, of which the best is a 1900 documentation of Bow Church, which adds her death date from her memorial and the detail that she was the daughter of a minister there. Her name was also memorialised at St Barts. There are at least 3 spellings of her married name (and some confusion with "Priscilla"), but the main problem with the article was it had been expanded by an IP in 2017 with a slab of essayistic and unreferenced prose, and a secondary problem is Google Books can't handle composite volumes with repeated page numbers (or books with a slab of unnumbered plate pages, I suspect). I've fixed the article up with more references, but I don't think we should set the bar very high for biographical details in such cases. Yngvadottir (talk) 00:07, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure to what extent this topic is real or WP:HOAX; it is based on a photocopy of a purported 1975 French magazine article that in turn is hosted on a user-generated shortwave radio conspiracy site. The only discussion I could find of this topic is on said conspiracy site and another self-published newsletter. Recordings purported to be from this station also appeared on a CD, but that's a primary source. Not finding any secondary, independent, reliable sources to show this subject passes WP:GNG.

Becoming the president of a political party’s state or national unit does not inherently confer notability.

  • Keep : Multiple reliable sources have covered P. Shanmugam. Hence this article definitely meets notability criteria.

@Dclemens1971 Thank you for your constructive feedback. However, I addressed the issues you raised when the page was initially moved (by you) to draft status, and I ensured that all guidelines were strictly followed before moving it back to the Mainspace. Two, I have previously worked on pages that required more references, and I believe this is one of those pages that can be improved over time. BYLINE: The issue of whether an article is bylined or not should not be attributed to the writer since contributors on Wikipedia are volunteers, who are trying to make 'free knowledge' something of value to everyone who consumes information on this platform. Regarding the source InfomediaNG, I did not encounter any security issues while using it here. Moreover, I have seen other reliable platforms referencing the site, particularly for biographies and fact-checking-related content. Could it be that certain pages are restricted in your country? Opyquad (talk) 23:56, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Opyquad: All guidelines were not strictly followed, clearly. Regarding unbylined content, please review discussions at WP:RSN. News organizations in Nigeria are considered by many editors to publish promotional content that does not meet the bar of WP:RS, and content without bylines is particularly likely to be this kind of promotional material. Beyond that, the content is just churnalism based on recycling Clintianoo's social media statements into articles, which means the material is not independent since it's basically the subject's own words. I can't view InfoMediaNG since my network indicates the site hosts malicious malware and I have no desire to invite that onto my computer. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:07, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Dclemens1971 I have done my best to ensure that the article adds value to Wikipedia’s goals. No emotions involved! First, I do not agree with the proposition being advanced at WP:RSN that Nigerian newspapers should be “formally” deprecated. That is too harsh of a recommendation. In fact, some newspapers in Nigeria are dedicated to combating fake news and fact-checking claims made by other media outlets. The fact that some media organizations have published unverified claims should not be enough to categorize all Nigerian newspapers as unreliable.
I have cited some of these newspapers in other articles I have published (here, here, and here), and there were no issues raised regarding the authenticity of the sources. My approach has always been to conduct thorough research on my subjects and write about them, especially when they are of public interest and have made significant impacts in their respective fields.
I would encourage you to approach this matter with an open mind while applying the guidelines without any preconceived bias that Nigerian newspapers are inherently unreliable. As for the other source—InfomediaNG—it may be related to your system’s configuration, such as a firewall mistakenly flagging the site as a false positive. I have no such issue here.
While it's understandable that some sources might be flagged due to instances of misinformation or promotional tone, it would be unfair to apply a blanket deprecation without assessing individual publications on a case-by-case basis. A balanced approach that recognizes both the strengths and weaknesses of various media outlets would better serve Wikipedia’s objective of providing accurate and well-rounded information. Encouraging editors to critically evaluate sources rather than outright dismissing them seems like a more constructive path forward.
Thank you for your time. Opyquad (talk) 12:00, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Opyquad I don't agree with the proposal to deprecate all Nigerian sources either, but I do believe that given the problems identified, they must be carefully evaluated and that promotional or tabloid-type articles like the ones used in this article are inappropriate to establish notability. And are you using ChatGPT or another AI platform to write your responses? GPTZero gives your fourth paragraph a 100% probability of being AI-generated. Please use your own words to participate in discussions here. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:55, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Dclemens1971 AI cannot be relevant to my response here. To the main issue, similar sources have been cited in a similar page for Tiktok influencer in Nigeria. Opyquad (talk) 14:24, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's relevant in that AfD discussions are based on strength of argument, not on !votes. Because AIs have literally never proven themselves able to apply Wikipedia policies and guidelines to sources, AI-generated responses will usually be discounted by closers seeking to weigh the strength of argument.

In my most recent revisions, I removed most sources because they all either failed WP:RS, WP:HISTRS, WP:RAJ, and WP:AGEMATTERS. Most of the sources were from the 1800's and 1900's, and those that weren't completely failed on being reliable sources.

Non encyclopaedic, controversial and appears to serve as a political part of Awami League. This holiday was controversially declared by the Awami league government only, and was removed from Bangladesh twice, most recently in October 2024. It doesn’t meet WP:NPOV. It is better to delete or integrate with other related articles like Controversies related to Sheikh Hasina or Criticism of Awami League. — Cerium4B—Talk? • 15:48, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The nominator didn't specifically explained the reason. They didn't explain how it is not encyclopediac. A subject can be controversial. But that has nothing to do with notability. It is true that Awami League government made it official holiday. But from 1967 the party observed it. And no Wikipedia guideline states that holiday only observed by specific organisation is not notable. Former holiday is notable in Wikipedia too. There are many former holiday articles here. And most importantly, maybe we could find more holiday articles declared as part of regime propaganda. We have similar articles like this, for example, Day of the Shining Star, a North Korean holiday for its second leader or Party Foundation Day, which is the holiday about the establishment day of Communist Party of North Korea!

To know an article's notability, we need to analyze its sources. The sources are from reliable works and they includes older offline newspapers. PIB published a book which is a collection of news articles about the birthday celebration. I did not include sources from historical newspapers (1972–1975). It clearly meets WP:GNG. If there is any POV issue then we can solve it, we don't have to delete this notable page. Notice that it is also a DYK article and for nomination I had to work on its POV issues several times. To me, it is almost POV free. Mehedi Abedin 16:03, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia:Not every single thing Donald Trump does deserves an article, this is a WP:TOOSOON article about a thing Donald Trump said that has not yet risen to the level of needing its own standalone article. We already have the broad historical overview Movements for the annexation of Canada to the United States, where this can be (and in fact already is) briefly addressed, but it's not at all clear that a few bloviating comments during the post-election transition period, when the president-elect hasn't even been (re)inaugurated yet, would already need their own spinoff article as their own topic independently of the overview.
Certainly if 45/47 actually launches a war on Canada during his term, then we'd obviously start a new article about that war when that happens -- but as long as it's just words, many of which are just rephrasing content that's already in the overview article as it is, it's not permanently notable just because Donald Trump said words.
Further, there was a significant bypass of process here: a user created Draft:2024-2025 proposals for Canadian annexation to the United States, which got rejected at WP:AFC on the grounds of lacking sufficient context to justify the need for a standalone article, but then a different user created a one-line stub which looked like this, following which the first user copy-pasted the content from their draft into it with very little effort to actually address the reasons why the draft was rejected in the first place.
This just has not yet risen to the level of needing its own standalone article as a separate topic from all the other past discourse around this concept. Bearcat (talk) 15:36, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, having worked on the 51st state article before this remarks, I think that splitting it off from the already large 51st state article and the traditional annexation article makes a lot of sense. The reason is its not clear Trump is being serious, rather as Trudeau said he seems to be distracting from other issues. Certainly, neither rino or maga has ever heard of the Canadian unification as part of his campaign rhetoric, and its hard to believe any conservative would want this as it would swing the balance of power in the USA back to the democratic party permanently. So I don't see it as part of the traditional unification movement, which every time it has happened it comes from the people in that region (for example Hawaii and Marianas had 90%+ votes in favor basically). Actually, what is very likely Trump is trying to distract from a place that is actually due to become a State, Puerto Rico, which has ten years of referendums in favor but again votes democratic so it would push the narrow balance of power in the USA back to blue. That is where I find the Canadian response remarkable, truly the USA has the best friend to the north to handle such a bizarre discourse in such a respectful way.

This article was created way back in 2009 and it has been unreferenced for over 15 years! There is a context that says:

This village is becoming an example of collective development, cooperation, solar and organics through a special development drive by LD Sharma, an entrepreneur who was born and brought up in the same village and who is now guiding all villagers to develop collectively. This village is around 35 km from Paonta Sahib, a place which is known for Sikh Gurudwaras.


There is a temple of Devi Bhadhrakshi. The temple is being rebuilt by LD Sharma through a registered committee named Mehta Vikas Jan Main Smiti and the latest updates can be seen online.

which might be referenced to the creator of the article itself LDSHARMA. If you see this search result, all of the sources were published after 2009 and it might be referencing back to the article so we can know it should be a hoax and even OpenStreetMap does not even list that place. The temple of Devi Bhadhrakshi reference that I could only found was from Facebook and Instagram which is generally unreliable, this search result. Vitaium (talk) 13:45, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

      The article notes: "Avid Technology last week introduced a storage system that it says better meets the needs of broadcasters, networks and post-production facilities seeking to centralize storage. Called Avid Unity ISIS, the system moves well beyond the capacity of Avid's current Unity system. Whereas that holds up to 20 terabytes (TB) of data and can be accessed by up to 60 editing clients, ISIS offers as much as 64 TB of storage and lets 100 editors, reporters and producers work on video at the same time. ... CBS News will use ISIS as the backbone of its new digital newsroom, which eventually will use Sony XDCAM HD at 50 Mbps."

      The article notes: "Avid recently introduced a new media workgroup solution called the Unity ISIS media network. (See Web links.) The system offers a glimpse into the future of intelligent storage networks, which will offer more capabilities and built-in redundancy, while reducing cost and complexity. The heart of Avid's system is called a Data Blade. In essence, it is a NAS unit with two Gigabit Ethernet ports. Each Data Blade contains two Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks for 1TB of storage. The Data Blades are attached to Gigabit Ethernet switches, creating two redundant paths from any client to any Data Blade. ... Given the incredible pace of change over the past two decades, one might come to the conclusion that off-the-shelf IT solutions will eventually replace such products as Avid's Unity ISIS or that it is improbable that companies developing dedicated solutions for broadcasters will survive. Don't bet on it."

    3. "Avid -- Unity ISIS". Videography. New Bay Media. 2005-11-01. Factiva VDOG000020051203e1b10000s.

      The article notes: "Now available from Avid is the next-generation shared-storage solution in the Avid Unity family: the Avid Unity ISIS media network. Unlike SAN devices that rely on centralized intelligence to manage data, the Avid Unity ISIS system leverages a distributed intelligence architecture via Avid's Infinitely Scalable Intelligent Storage (ISIS) technology. This design enables 16 individual storage blades-housed within a single storage chassis (Avid ISIS Engine)-to process media while simultaneously sharing data and balancing the collective workflow between entire groups of connected storage drives."

    4. "Avid Rolls Out ISIS Storage Solution". Broadcast TV. CMP Media. 2005-11-01. Factiva DGTV000020051203e1b100003.

      The article notes: "Building upon its Unity family of products, Avid Technology has introduced a new shared storage solution, the Avid Unity ISIS media network. ISIS, which stands for Infinitely Scalable Intelligent Storage, employs a distributed-intelligence architecture that enables 16 individual storage blades to process media while simultaneously sharing data and balancing the collective workflow between entire groups of connected storage drives. ... CBS News recently began using the Avid Unity ISIS in a continual effort to convert to digital. "When we first saw Avid Unity ISIS, we knew it would be an ideal storage solution that could more efficiently handle the massive amounts of media that we store, access, and share simultaneously between our major news operations in New York and London every day," said Frank Governale, VP of Operations at CBS News. "It also fits well into our IT infrastructure, greatly expanding our client count and the amount of data we can share in real time," he added."

        The article notes: "MSNBC upgraded five editing rooms to HD with Avid Symphony Nitris systems. It is editing packages using Avid's DnxHD 145-megabit-per-second mezzanine compression format, storing them on the Unity ISIS. It uses Grab Network's Anystream software for transcoding needs, employing a grid transcoding system with parallel processors. "Everything here is shared," says Canary. "We have one large Unity ISIS that handles all the content from Today, Nightly News and MSNBC.""

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Unity ISIS to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

    Is that really significant enough to warrant a whole article about this product, as opposed to say merging it to the article on the vendor? To me it just reads like the usual trade journal copy-paste job of the vendor's press release. Even the quotes from MSNBC and CBS executives – anyone who has ever worked in or adjacent to enterprise/B2B sales knows how this works, they're called "reference customers", they'll let you quote them endorsing your product in your marketing/PR materials, in exchange you promise to take extra special care of them.

Hello, regarding your claims, there is no (OR) in the article. The troop strengths, alliances, and outcomes are directly supported by the sources cited. The specific engagement of the new source I've added is labeled as "LUIZ SÈRRÂO AND THE BATTLE OF 1590.".
The topic is already significantly covered. I've found additional books that mention the battle, though I haven't cited them all. Jaozinhoanaozinho (talk) 19:41, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I don't know a lot about perfume or about the reliability of fashion sources so am happy to be corrected by those who know more about this area, but I think there's enough coverage to demonstrate notability. Excluding the dozens and dozens of "top 10 perfume" lists and "this is the perfect Black Opium dupe" junk articles, there seem to be a good number of reviews and product announcements in reliable sources. Some of these are a little shallow, but these are some examples of what I could find: [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] [58] [59]. And that's not to mention the many, many articles about the advertising controversies, which aren't enough to show notability on their own but probably do contribute a little to notability. There were also quite a few scholarly sources in fields like marketing and fashion history that provide mentions of Black Opium. MCE89 (talk) 03:23, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have been looking a lot into fragrances lately, which is also the reason why I came across this page and noticed the deletion template.

WP:BLP of a writer, not properly sourced as passing WP:AUTHOR. As always, writers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show certain specific markers of achievement supported by WP:GNG-worthy third-party coverage about them in media and books -- but this article is completely unreferenced, and is not making any strong notability claims.
The main attempts at notability claims are that he's been municipal poet laureate of a small city, which isn't an automatic notability freebie without sourcing for it, and that he's been a recipient of various minor and/or unspecified literary awards that aren't highly prominent enough to confer instant inclusion freebies without sourcing for them. An award has to be notable in its own right before it can make its winners notable for winning it, so notability doesn't derive from the presence of the word "award" (or sticking the word "prestigious" in front of it) in the article text, it derives from the quality of the sourcing you can show to demonstrate that the award is a sufficiently notable and/or prestigious one in the first place.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass GNG on his sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 14:15, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Under Hive Colab there are multiple sources that support notability, see New Vision, Independent, AsiaTechDaily, Nile Post, Pctechmag, and BBC FuzzyMagma (talk) 17:40, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are multiple sources but after looking at them, I do not feel comfortable using these to establish notability. My initial comment is the article is about HiveColab while the focus on a lot of these articles is about YSAU (Youth Startup Academy Uganda) which is one of the accelerator programs under it. Per WP:NOTINHERITED while they are related, we cannot use the program alone to cover for the organization above it and HiveColab should be able to stand by itself. Also something irking me is how promotional the whole thing seems. I see mention of co-founder Barbara Birungi and judging by the state of her article, it feels like there is some PR campaign being held for her (and possibly her firm) on the internet. Anyway:
      • New Vision: There seems to be a related press release for this here. This is reporting on a ceremony for YSAU, a program under Hive Collab rather than Hive Collab itself. Half of it are just promotional quotes by related parties. If you look at the remaining content, most of it looks very similar to the press release. Edit: ITC states it is involved in implementing YSAU so it’s a related party. The press release from Hive Collab is here which has similar wording content.
      • Independent: First thing I noticed is this article is not authored to an individual. There's another site with the exact same content here so I’m wondering if this is just a form of a press release. The focus is on Ugandan startups signing deals at Gitex in Morocco. The focus is not on Hive Collab but the entrepreneurs under it. The latter half of the article can be ignored since not about Hive Collab. So taking out the quotes, its pretty much a non-notable entity named Dain Leaders Corporation signing an MOU with Hive Collab and the supposed benefits in a press release manner.
      • AsiaTechDaily: Non-notable entity GCCEI signs an MOU with Hive Collab. That's kinda it. While it is authored, it seems like a regurgitated press release of a routine deal given how short it is and the language used.
      • NilePost: This one does seem to be more than a press release (I think). But in my view looking at it, the main focus is on YSAU companies attending Gitex in Morocco with a chance to show themselves. There doesn’t seem to be much analysis on Hive Collab itself. Edit: Here is the original press release, the 15 YSAU startups are directly copied so the source is now much weaker.
      • PC Tech: There seems to be a related press release (or update as called) for this here. This article is not authored to an individual. Another ceremony of people from YSAU graduating. Large chunks of it are just kinda copied from the press release.
      • BBC: Very brief mention of Hive Collab and in fact seems to be more on Barbara Birungi herself.
    • So looking at all of them, they fail WP:SIRS in my view. To save time just give the best three independent in-depth sources going forward. - Imcdc Contact 05:25, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      You should be clear when you say a press release to indicate how did you come to that conclusion.
      All of what you labelled as a “press release” is either not a press release by the organisation, see New Vision or is not one at all, see Nile Post. And I am not sure who did you dismiss the mention by the BBC. This organisation is not in Global West, it is in Uganda and still mentioned by the BBC. FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:55, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      FYI, I have updated the above analysis.
      See WP:PRSOURCE. A press release doesn’t need to directly come from Hive Colab. It can come from an affiliated party. We know ITC is affiliated because it itself says the YSAU is implemented by ITC, Hive Collab and several other parties. So no independence there. WP:PRSOURCE also mentions how less reputable news sources will write an article based on a press release which we are seeing here in examples of churnalism. Btw I have found some of the press releases by Hive Collab and updated above based on it. For example we can see now that Nile Post has indeed copied a chunk out of a press release.- Imcdc Contact 12:25, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    FuzzyMagma (talk) 10:20, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure if its because Google Books is cutting off my access to see the whole thing, but almost everything seems to be a very short mention. A lof seem to be just something like this: ilab (Liberia), Hive Collab (Uganda), Etrilabs (Benin)... and thats it. The only one that offers more is the UNESCO one. But its just one short section giving very general (and sort of generic) description of Hive Collab. I don't think this is enough to meet WP:SIGCOV for an WP:NCORP subject. Imcdc Contact 11:25, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes all of them are mentions and not a dedicated chapter or even a whole page in the book. I will add the full excerpt later as most of them are not as you described.
    Still, given it was mentioned in all of these sources (books/News) = coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Whether you consider that satisfy the “significant” part or not, I will leave it to you. I am of the opinion of keeping the article.
    Also your comment about the BBC source is unfair, as Barbara Birungi was talking about HiveColab, quoting “"It's not about strict business. It's also about coming here to share your ideas, and collaborate. Because out of sharing and collaborating come ideas," says Ms Birungi. The Hive CoLab was opened to give the technology scene in Uganda a space that they could call their own and come and collaborate, says Barbara Birungi. "Apart from just offering them a space we see how we can take an idea to the next level. Because many startups fail within the first two years of existence."” FuzzyMagma (talk) 22:00, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete — (moderate to strong) — simply not seeing notability, coverage, or impact. Article created by a single-purpose user. Interestingly, the (all-related) articles this user has edited/created all mention one “Damien Drake.” On the article in-question, we have this gem: The recording session was filmed live aboard the Sloop, while sailing up and down the Hudson River. The music video, directed by Damien Drake, can be viewed on YouTube: It is one of the few, if not the only, music videos sanctioned and planned with Seeger and filmed especially to accompany one of his songs. The single is available for download on iTunes, Amazon.com, and all digital retailers.

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

This is a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of List of wiki software with no useful salvageable value.

The section "Multi-user wiki software" lacks any useful inclusion criterion - MediaWiki (the software that this wiki runs on) does not have a "personal edition" in any reasonable sense. Yes, it's configurable enough you can use it for a lot of things, but the standard for when that would be would be entirely arbitrary. Most of the remaining entries do not have any mention of personal wikis in their article.

The section "Single-user wiki software" is almost entirely duplicated at List of wiki software#Personal wiki software.

The rest of this article is just a trivial definition of the concept - "a personal wiki is a wiki for personal use". And that's it. Delete or redirect to List of wiki software#Personal wiki software (since an individual instance of a personal wiki is by definition a complete nonentity with no existence outside of that of its sole user the software is the only significant bit). * Pppery * it has begun... 04:54, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of wiki software#Personal wiki software as suggested in the nomination. I agree with everything in the nomination rationale, and I can’t find sufficient sourcing to rework the article so that it isn’t a redundant fork. The Keep vote above contains textbook examples on arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, and I’m also dubious whether the Keep voter read the nomination at all.

As noted in a message on the page, 'This article is written like a personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay that states a Wikipedia editor's personal feelings or presents an original argument about a topic.' The article contains a non-dictionary definition and characteristics of puppy love, a sub-article on puppy love in China related to China's marriage age laws, and statistics which do not mention puppy love of Taiwan, China and the United States. Though the article has existed for a long time, it is still rated as 'Start-class' on Wikipedia's content assessment scale (see the Talk page). The article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignemnt between 24 January 2023 and 19 May 2023, and yet is still rated as a 'Start-class'.

  • Keep Two of us have now added information and sources to this article, which demonstrates that she does meet WP:GNG. There are plenty of reviews of her stage appearances, with significant, positive mentions about her ability and performances. She had major roles in Stepping Out in the West End and Nice Girls in Newcastle, and in several other professional performances of notable plays in Derby, Newcastle, Chester, etc, for which she received very positive reviews (I have not included quotes about all her performances here). There are articles about her (eg here and here) - they do mention her father, but they are about her, not him.

Keep - Auckland Councillors each represent wards that are often larger than most New Zealand electorates, earn a full-time wage of over $100k, and control a budget and asset base in the billions. As the majority don't represent any mainstream political party it's difficult for citizens of New Zealand's largest city to access basic, objective information about their public representatives.

  • Procedural keep Simply being an Auckland councillor in its own right doesn't meet WP:NPOL, and city councillors across the world need to have a heightened level of coverage in order to be kept. That being said, this isn't the worst article in the world, and while I'd still vote to delete for failing GNG, it feels potentially salvageable if other sources exist. I'm not looking through the other six since they all need to be reviewed on their own merits, so these need individual AfD discussions, hence the procedural keep.
