• Comment. Her name is often given just as Rajlukshmee Debee (same birth year established here). It looks like she got an obituary in Indian Literature. On the one hand that is kinda brief and by a friend (Debjani Chatterjee), but on the other it was published in a significant journal. here she is described as "a major voice in Indian poetry and women's writing". There's a dearth of coverage but some indications of significance. Will keep looking. This and this maybe have some review content? It looks like The Touch Me Not Girl got a couple of reviews ([1], [2]). I also imagine there might be more coverage in Bengali. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 13:49, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Like Eddie891, I think having an obit in Indian Literature and being described as "a major voice in Indian poetry and women's writing" in My Birth Was Not In Vain: Selected Poems by Seven Bengali Women are good indications that she is notable and that there is more coverage. She published many poems in Bengali, and there is likely to be coverage in Bengali language sources (not Bengali Wikipedia), and other languages of the subcontinent. Frustratingly, many of the English language sources which come up in a Google Books source are snippet view only. I hope someone with access to relevant hardcopy sources will add more.

Comment: Courtesy linking to WP:NPOL for people.

That said Haridwar is apparently the 2nd largest city in the state, at ~200,000, so it's at least not tiny.

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

Non-notable singer. Fails WP:GNG, WP:SINGER and the subject of this article is not a notable individual. He is primarily a TikToker/YouTuber but does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for people. The article also incorrectly describes him as a musician, but there is no evidence that he meets the notability criteria for musicians. Additionally, the references provided appear to be paid or promotional news articles.

For example, one article states: "RobinRafan has the ability to deliver creative storytelling content and has proven herself to be a force to be reckoned with." (Here, "herself" is incorrect, suggesting possible copy-paste or automated content). see here Furthermore, these news sources mention all of his platform profiles and account names, which is unusual for genuine news articles. This strongly indicates *a lack of independent, reliable sources*.

Additionally, the article appears to have a conflict of interest WP:COI as it seems to have been created by someone closely related to the subject. Based on these factors, the article does not meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria and should be deleted.SRL1122 (talk) 07:44, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another Note: Obidur Rahman and RobinRafan are the same person. In October last year, an article titled RobinRafan was deleted due to concerns, including a clear conflict of interest (COI). Now, instead of recreating the article under the same name, a new article has been created under Obidur Rahman, attempting to establish notability as a musician.

• Keep As far as notability is concerned, the subject won at least two notable awards Babisas Award and Dhallywood Film and Music Awards. He has also been covered in depth in reliable and notable news sites like, Jago News 241, Dhaka Tribune 2, The Bangladesh Today 3, Janakantha 4, The Daily Observer (Bangladesh) 5and more. Which makes the subject at least pass the WP:NBASIC. He has also been covered for his Album from The Bangladesh Today 6as well for the books he authored byThe Daily Observer (Bangladesh) 9.Instant History (talk) 06:16, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  While the subject has received some media coverage, the available sources do not provide significant, independent, and in-depth coverage required to meet Wikipedia’s notability standards WP:GNG.

  1. Not a Musician: Obidur Rahman is primarily a content creator, not a musician. The awards he received, such as the Babisas Award and Dhallywood Film and Music Awards, were for content creation, not for musical achievements. If content creation alone were enough for notability, then many other content creators in Bangladesh would also qualify.

  2. Awards: The listed awards do not appear to be major national or international honors with extensive media coverage. Winning an award does not automatically establish notability unless it is widely recognized and covered in-depth by independent sources WP:ANYBIO.

  3. Media Coverage: The sources cited, including Jago News 24, Dhaka Tribune, and The Bangladesh Today, mainly provide brief mentions rather than substantial analysis. Many of these articles seem promotional rather than independent journalistic coverage, which does not meet Wikipedia’s standards for significant coverage WP:SIGCOV.

  4. Books and Albums: Publishing books or music alone does not establish notability WP:AUTHOR, WP:MUSICBIO. There is no evidence of critical reviews or independent discussions proving their impact or significance.

  Additionally, after this article was nominated for deletion, a new article was published on March 5, 2025, in The Bangladesh Today, seemingly to reinforce notability. However, this article does not provide neutral or independent coverage. Moreover, the reliability of The Bangladesh Today itself is questionable, as it does not appear to be a highly reputable or widely recognized news source.

  On the same day, user Minilikintern added this as a reference. Instant History, I would kindly request you to review this news article and share your thoughts after reading it.

  Given these factors, the subject does not meet Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines WP:GNG or the specific criteria for musicians and authors WP:MUSICBIO, WP:AUTHOR.SRL1122 (talk) 16:33, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  For now, let’s ignore WP:AUTHOR and WP:MUSICBIO. Let’s concentrate on WP:NBASIC, which states: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." As we can see, most of the sources (probably more than five) have Wikipedia pages themselves, and the person is clearly the subject of the articles, rather than just receiving a trivial mention.

• Regarding your claim that the awards are not notable, I believe this is incorrect. The fact that these awards have dedicated Wikipedia pages indicates their significance. According to WP:ANYBIO, the subject has received well-known and significant awards (e.g., Babisas Award and Dhallywood Film and Music Awards). If you think these awards are not notable and significant, you may challenge them for deletion as well.

• As for the reference you pointed out, you are correct that it is written in a promotional manner, and we need to remove it. I have also cleaned up two more additional references that were promotional.

• The COI issue with the creator seems obvious, as you mentioned. However, I think we are here to discuss whether the subjects meet the notability requirements or not.

• And also I would appreciate it if you could explain how you became such an expert in sorting pages for deletion discussions while having only 25 edits. Instant History (talk) 00:14, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you for your response. I would like to clarify a few key points:

  1. Misinterpretation of Notability

  According to WP:NBASIC, notability requires significant coverage from independent and reliable sources.

  Simply being mentioned in multiple sources does not establish notability.

  Most of the cited sources provide only trivial mentions rather than in-depth coverage.

  Some sources, such as The Bangladesh Today, are not considered highly reliable mainstream media outlets.

  2. Source Analysis

  Out of 12 references, 10 explicitly describe him as a content creator.

  While some sources casually mention "musical artist," the primary emphasis remains on his identity as a content creator.

  Only two articles focus on his music—one from Dhaka Tribune and another from The Bangladesh Today.

  The Bangladesh Today itself lacks strong credibility as a reliable source.

  3. Awards and Misrepresentation

  The subject received these awards as a content creator, not as a musician.

  If winning such awards as a content creator is enough to establish notability, then at least 10 other content creators in Bangladesh should also be considered notable, yet they are not.

  4. Attempt to Fabricate Notability

  As I previously mentioned, new articles were published after the AfD nomination to strengthen claims of notability.

  Dhaka Tribune originally published an article on June 27, 2023, explicitly identifying him as a content creator.

  After the deletion nomination, on March 6, 2025, the same article was updated to present him as a "musician".

  This suggests a deliberate attempt to manipulate notability, which contradicts Wikipedia’s principles.

  5. COI (Conflict of Interest) & Neutrality Concerns

  You have already acknowledged that some references were promotional and have been removed. This further supports the argument that the article was created with a biased intent.

  Wikipedia does not establish notability based on self-promotional or questionable sources.

  6. Questioning My Edit Count

  The number of edits a user has is irrelevant to the validity of their arguments.

  Wikipedia values policy-based discussions over edit count metrics.

  Evaluating AfD cases does not require thousands of edits—just an understanding of Wikipedia’s guidelines. Thank you SRL1122 (talk) 08:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Romantic Revival (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 page appears to be a mixture of unsourced information, original research, and potentially self-promotion.

• The primary source for the page, and for the majority of its life the only source, is a Time Magazine article entitled Festivals: Romantic Revival. The article was published in 1969 and is merely a review of a particular event held that year which featured Romantic music (and which was not even called "Romantic Revival"). The Time article contains no claims about broader historical trends of Romantic music experiencing a revival in the cultural consciousness starting in the 1960s, as the Wikipedia page does. In fact, far from suggesting that this 1969 festival is the beginning of a coming cultural shift, the author is openly derisive of the Romantic music played at the festival.

• The text about Ates Orga's championing of the revival, added to the article several years after its initial creation, is supported only by an accompanying reference to a 1977 article written by Orga, and not by any independent source positing the notability of Orga's activities.

• The text about the Romantic Revival Orchestra, added to the article quite recently, appears to be entirely self-promotion. No source is provided other than a link to the website of the entity described.

Note that the page has existed on Wikipedia for almost 20 years and as such may have influenced sources written after 2007, if not in any particulars of fact, then at least in the claim of the existence, naming, and notability of a "Romantic Revival" in classical music in the 1960s.

• Delete it doesn't look like the sourcing is at all there to support the idea that this was a musical movement. Since the article says Harold C. Schonberg was a champion of it in the New York Times I searched the full archive for that paper and as near as I can tell he never used the phrase, and the paper itself only used the phrase talking about other eras, or just casually saying that there's been a revival in interest in this kind of music lately, without saying anything about it being a specific movement. This article appears to be advancing an original argument the sources don't make. --Here2rewrite (talk) 13:40, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can see ignoring press releases, the remaining coverage doesn't meet WP:ORGCRITE. Routine stuff like hiring/firing news, reporting some acquisitions without further details , the company getting a rating or some non-notable award etc. There is some coverage on employment lawsuits but the focus is on the lawsuits rather than the company and per WP:ILLCON cannot be used to establish notability.

Confused and confusing. Unclear whether it is referring to fiction or reality. The only reference is to a Scottish Gothic academic paper. The examples are all well covered elsewhere, and the general themes are covered in the propaganda, forgery and hoax articles, and epistolary novel for fiction. There’s a long history of debate and confusion on the talk page. It went to AfD in 2012, and doesn’t appear to be any better now. See also false documentation.

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

This list fails WP:DATED, which advises, for text that is likely to go out of date to be verifiable, statements should be dated. As evidenced by the talk page's list of former vegans, and some research, following a vegan diet is not an immutable characteristic (such as Latino or profession, which Wikipedia treats as immutable). I don't doubt many BLPs listed are no longer vegan, even as we claim they are.

For the list to be verifiable, an extra column would have to be added, "as of". This would contradict the strong claim made in the title, which implies "currently a vegan" rather than "was ever a vegan", as seen by the removal of entries when people are no longer identified as vegan. This point was only cursorily addressed in the last deletion discussion, which came to no-consensus. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 04:50, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The article is well sourced. It is true that in the past there were celebrities on the list who were not vegan. Myself and another user have fixed this problem by removing them from the article list. On the talk-page there is a long list of former vegans and mistaken vegans [28]. I am not convinced we need to start adding dates when people became vegan on the list. Adding WP:RS is good enough. If users want to know more about their veganism they can click on the biographies of the person and read their article. Veg Historian (talk) 10:45, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm thankful for your comment. I'll just note once on "the article is well sourced" that, as an example, the source listed is an RS for the claim that Mark Browning was a vegan as of 2010, but it is not a RS for the claim that he is a vegan now, per the reasoning in the nom. Sources are considered reliable/not reliable for a given statement. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 11:02, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I believe the criteria you are setting for this list is too high. This is a simple list of vegans. If a person is not vegan anymore and we have an WP:RS for that we just remove their name from the list. If a reliable source says someone is vegan and we have no further updates on that then we leave them on the list. I am not sure why you are trying to over complicate this list. It is true that many vegan celebrities seeking fame and fortune give up their veganism but they are mostly doing it as a fad and not for ethical reasons. Once we have newspaper material or interviews about this documenting when they gave up veganism; we just remove them from the list. We do not add dates. Myself and another user have removed many of these from the list in the past.

  Adding specific dates is just overcomplicating things. I have not seen this criteria suggested for other lists. Are you also going to be suggesting next that we add specific dates to List of animal rights advocates saying when they became activists? I believe this is unnecessary. As stated if someone is not vegan anymore and we have a source on that; we just remove them from the list. Veg Historian (talk) 11:28, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  To use your example, List of animal rights advocates does not require dating the attribute (e.g. as of 2024 they were an animal rights advocate) because it is not "likely to go out of date" as WP:DATED states. The reason I say this is likely to go out of date is because a) the long list on the talk page shows a lot of people come in and out of veganism (and sources probably won't exist for a lot of them doing that: for BLP articles to avoid error and for verifiability we date these statements) and b) the research I mention in the nom. I'll leave this as my last comment. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 11:38, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created. 3/6 of these sources are album reviews, NME has it as a passing mention, Consequence also has it as a passing mention (in the context that Earl performed on stage with him, one of the songs being Rusty) leaving the Complex source, which is not clear as a reliable source, and does not provide significant coverage. jolielover♥talk 05:16, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Wikipedia isn't targeting you, it's just that there are quite a lot of guidelines and policies to adhere to. In terms of notability, the song does not meet the requirements (WP:NSONG). jolielover♥talk 03:12, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notability isn't derived from opinions, there's a guideline in place for songs (WP:NSONG) and a quick google search finds hardly any sources on this song, only passing mentions of it in general news about the album/live performances. The difference in the other examples you mentioned is that they do appear to have significant coverage. Tamale, for example, got quick a lot due to its provocative lyrics and music video. Gone, Gone / Thank You also has some notability to have a page due to it charting in a few countries and earning some certifications. jolielover♥talk 15:39, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete based on the existing sources.
  • Complex has a paragraph of coverage, just barely significant IMO.

  • Billboard is an album review, which doesn't contribute to notability per WP:NSONG.

• Draftify This article is still under construction. There is not enough information here yet to show or determine notability. As an article just over one hour old, it could have been moved to draft space without being brought here. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:48, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Just discovered that there is an article on this topic in the Spanish section of Wikipedia. 2A00:23C8:3D81:7801:852:F46:1EE9:B4CA (talk) 17:26, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Zzz plant. The article badly needs expansion but the topic is inherently notable. Examining the WP:NEVENT criteria:
  • WP:LASTING: According to the BBC, the case influenced the UK to change its policy regarding transgender prisoners. [40]
  • WP:GEOSCOPE: The case received coverage from national media, including the Guardian [41], BBC [42], Times [43], Independent [44], Telegraph [45], and Sky News [46].
  • WP:DEPTH: In addition to straightforward reporting on the case, the Guardian published two in-depth articles about why the case happened [47] and its effects on the UK's transgender inmate policy [48].
  • WP:PERSISTENCE: As outlined by Zzz plant, the case has been taken up by multiple academic sources since White's 2018 conviction. The case has also received media coverage since then, e.g. [49] [50]
  • WP:DIVERSE: See WP:GEOSCOPE above.

Draftify. New article with no real content. I agree it is notable though. But there is nothing here and for a crime involving BLPs it is an issue in its current state. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:55, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.Hopefully the article is much improved now. Slàinte mhath a chàirdean (talk) 23:16, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This is very much a WP:BLP1E case and the focus of this article is on their prison issues and activity rather than anything that affected the general public outside mentioning how they got to prison, and the categorization of Category:LGBTQ history in the United Kingdom is alarmingly WP:POINTy.

  Well, it's not a BLP1E since the article is about the case, not the person, and the article now has a section titled "Aftermath and impact". The issue with the category also isn't a deletion rationale. Astaire (talk) 17:41, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The article... is on the event. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:03, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This article has significantly changed since its AfD nomination. Astaire (talk) 17:39, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Much more sourcing has been added to signify notability, and the case seems to have had enough of an impact on government policy and public discourse to warrant an article. Tulzscha (talk) 00:04, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
