- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
No indication of notability. Of 11 refs, almost all are from his own works; one is an interview with him, one is an entry from Contemporary Authors: A Bio-Bibliographical Guide. He has written 45 books. It is not easy to find reviews other than publisher abstracts or Goodreads blurbs or equivalent; one of his better-known ones (caveat: I am not knowledgeable about this) appears to be Toxic Nourishment, and a search for reviews returns mostly sales sites.

- His main works are Psychotic Core and Psychoanalytic Mystic.
- I disagree strongly with him not being notable. Eigen is a major figure, and the fact that, e.g., Routledge published an introduction to his work (which is rare for a living person) testifies to that fact: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9781003002871/michael-eigen-loray-daws
- His works are widely cited, as a search on Google Scholar indicates, with many of his papers and books having several hundred citations (which is significant for an individual). So disagreed w/r/t notability of Eigen.
- However, I think you are rightfully calling attention to --- if implicitly --- to another issue: The page on Eigen has an insufficient number of external sources. Purely based on a cursory reading of this page one will likely --- and thus correctly --- come to the conclusion that Eigen is an isolated figure. In actuality, he is an important member of the psychoanalytic community, and he teaches worldwide (as his Seoul seminars indicate).
- The article does not reflect that, however, and I am grateful for you bringing this to my/psy-community's attention. Once I have more time, I will try and add some external sources and appraisals.
- But I strongly object to a deletion, Eigen is important, and the literature reflects that clearly. Honigfrau (talk) 09:19, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep There are four books published by Routledge about his work listed in the Further Reading section of this article. Even without looking further, that certainly meets WP:GNG. The use of primary sources for citations is probably due to not understanding Wikipedia's requirements, not to a lack of secondary sources. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:48, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Does not look encyclopedic. Also sources are pretty good - publisher-wise, but do not establish him as a significant author. Many authors have credentials, but that does not mean they should have their own article. Two of the few editors to this page seem to be single purpose editors for Michael Eigen [1] and [2]. I think there is COI issues here. I agree with Mathglot's assessment of the current sources in the article. Ramos1990 (talk) 00:13, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment I am going to try adding sources to this article, though without access to the four books written about him, this may be difficult. I would like to point out that he certainly meets WP:NACADEMIC#1: Google Scholar shows that his 10 most-cited works (ie written by him) have 652, 484, 455, 356, 339, 243, 244, 165, 128 and 123 citations. His most cited book is The psychoanalytic mystic, followed by The psychotic core (as Honigfrau noted). Articles reviewing his work are to be found in academic journals, through Google Scholar, not through a general Google search. RebeccaGreen (talk) 07:29, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment I have now added citations in the article to books about him and his work and reviews of his books (it seems there are actually 6 books about his work, not 4). I'm sure I could find more reviews, but I hope this is sufficient. @Mathglot:, please consider the references now in the article. RebeccaGreen (talk) 09:13, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. The sources found by RebeccaGreen are more than enough to establish notability. The existence of multiple full books about his work from reputable academic publishers, in addition to the book reviews that have been added to the article and the subject's heavy citation count, make an extremely strong case for both WP:NAUTHOR and WP:NPROF.

- Redirect – The article, as written, lacks significant coverage or reliable sources to establish notability. Given that it is a part of the band’s work, redirecting to their main page (or a discography section) makes sense for now. If future sources emerge, it can always be expanded.

- Merge with Piet Hut: This software is used or mentioned in hundreds of independent publications, although none of them appear to discuss the software in detail. It should be discussed in some article even though it doesn't satisfy notability guidelines. I would seriously consider revising the guidelines to allow articles like this to be kept, similar to how WP:NMEDIA and WP:NPERIODICAL have a criterion for publications that are widely cited by other reliable sources, but that is a discussion for a different time.

Unclear that anything at this dabpage is actually ambiguous. Geo Storm is not known as Geostorm, and vice-versa. Users seeking GunForce II and Geomagnetic storm are not likely to use the search term "geo storm". This can all be handled with hatnotes. Delete. 162 etc. (talk) 19:38, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Disambiguations-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 20:44, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. This disambiguation page is useful and avoids lengthy hatnotes. I completely agree that "Geo Storm" is not known as "Geostorm", and vice-versa, but "Geo storm" could be either. It is not clear what any redirect target would be. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:25, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- How is it useful? I'll point out once again that nothing here is actually ambiguous. If the dabpage is deleted, the search query "geo storm" would simply end up at Geo Storm, and that seems fine. 162 etc. (talk) 20:56, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:V and WP:NOTFB. I can't verify that the Cannes International Exhibition of Modern Art exists, or grants awards, or any "New Talent and Creative Thought prize". There's an event called the International Fine Art Cannes Biennale, which does not appear to be notable. Nor does Cobweb art appear to be notable. As far as significant coverage goes, the article is sourced to local Armenian media (newspapers and TV) and YouTube. There's literally no sources from Cannes, or any other places. In 2025, everyone knows that we are not Instagram. Bearian (talk) 21:02, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Does not meet WP:ARTIST standards like "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." I am not able to find any additional information on the "Cannes International Exhibition of Modern Art," and the name doesn't suggest an award bestowed by a particularly knowledgeable body, as Modern Art is art "produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s" and this person was born in 1968!

- Delete - this "cobweb artist" does not meet notability criteria for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Fails WP:NARTIST. The exhibitions are at "pay-to-play" venues, not at notable art museums or national galleries. The Cannes "show" is sponsored by a local hotel and seems to be a pay-to-play to exhibit at the hotel. No works in permanent collections, no notable awards, nor serious art historical coverage in art history books or notable art magazines. The coverage that does exist seem to be either PR based on the same press release, or human interest pieces because the artist curiously uses spiders and spider webs in his work. The lack of actual reviews in the broader art world are absent. The article seems to be an extension of the PR promo or self-promotion for his work. Netherzone (talk) 17:18, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Delete, I like to !vote keep on these even when they marginally pass notability testing. However here the sources indicate that only passing mentions really are available. Passing mentions, unfortunately, do not suffice to ensure notability. Iljhgtn (talk) 01:25, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment Before creating this page, I did a proper Google search on the topic and discovered the Dr meets the notability requirements.
- Contrary to what the nominator hinted as his reason, Dr. Hall had led multiple medical research and has contributed to many of such research and academic peer-reviewed publications which are published on medical journals and other media platforms.[1] For want of WP:NPOV, I didn't include them at the initial creation of the page. I made sure the page remains neutral as required. Now, I've included a section for his "Medical research and academic contributions" with the link given.
- Also, Dr Hall hall had been appointed to serve in various top capacities in his fields such as
- Chair of the PHO Subcommittee on Obesity
- Director of Bariatric Quality Improvement
- Director of Surgical Simulations
- Medical Director of Bariatrics and Minimally Invasive Surgery at Rome Health
- Medical Director of Weight Loss Center and Wound Care Center at Rome Health in Rome, New York
- He has also won multiple awards. For want of WP:NPOV, I only included those two. Also most of the sources used pass WP:RS, such as THIS, THIS, THIS, and others.
- Judging from the above, I strongly believe that WP:SIGCOV, WP:GNG, and WP:ANYBIO Pax Zah Iyeuna (talk) 18:57, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete The research papers added to not meet criteria for WP:ACADEMIC. They have few (if any) citations and most don't seem to be in notable medical journals. Providing a google scholar link showing number of hits does not meet criteria for notability as it's picking up contributions from any person named Keneth Hall or Ken Hall or even just the last name Hall. I do not think inclusion in Marquis Who's Who Biographical Registry meets criteria for notability, as nomination criteria and fact checking of the list are opaque. While there are reliable sources, not many indicate notability. Coverage from the Rome Sentinel and MVHealthNews is local, and I'm not giving articles there the same weight as a national paper. Some of these sources seem to be brief bios or non-notable coverage of medical seminars for the community. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 00:50, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. From a quick search in Googlenews, Dr. Keneth Hall has made significant contributions to the field of surgery, notably serving as the "Medical Director of Bariatrics and Minimally Invasive Surgery" at Rome Health, where he introduced advanced minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques. He has also held key positions such as "Chair of the PHO Subcommittee on Obesity and Director of Bariatric Quality Improvement" at NYU Long Island Hospital. Furthermore, Dr. Hall has contributed to multiple peer-reviewed medical publications. These accomplishments demonstrate the "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject," meeting Wikipedia's notability guidelines for biographies as given in WP:SIGCOV.Maltuguom (talk) 18:55, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I am not convinced the arguments raised in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barron Trump (3rd nomination) have been properly resolved. The sources are still primarily about his relation to the rest of the Trump family, and there is exactly one new bit of information from since the june 2024 AfD - that his father's cryptocurrency project named him a "financial visionary", not exactly an independent conformation of notability. I suggest that have a restored redirect and be salted for the time being. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 17:49, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. As the AfC reviewer who promoted the article, I note that there has been substantial coverage of the subject since the previous AfD, and this is not abating. A substantial number of citations in the article postdate that discussion, and if this were any other subject, GNG would be abundantly satisfied without question by the degree of coverage, irrespective of achievements documented.

- Keep, as sufficient coverage from new sources have been given since the previous Afd and are present in the article, now passes WP:GNG. Sources have shifted away from his familial ties and more towards himself, and I see no reason why this trend will not continue in the future. Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk) 18:07, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Weak keep. I'll copy what I said in my comment on the draft.
- The main question in my mind is whether there's been a change since the last AfD that addresses the main issues brought up by redirect !voters.
- Looking at the AfD, the two issues were "independent notability" and "low-profile individuals". In other words, 1) is Barron Trump only notable for being Donald Trump's son 2) and is Barron Trump avoiding publicity?
- Since the AfD, I think both have been addressed by Barron's cryptocurrencies projects and his affiliation with influencers.
- Specifically, 1) appeared to be interpreted at that AfD as requiring the coverage to be meaningful even if Barron wasn't Donald's son. For example, multiple redirect !voters discussed Barron's status as an RNC political delegate, which wouldn't have received coverage if Barron was a random person.
- However, after the AfD, WP:SIGCOV has been created/added. A cited New York Times article says
Barron Trump is now treated as an adviser by his father and as something of a next-generation MAGA mascot by his father’s supporters
[24], we see discussions of his role in Trump's decision to go on the Joe Rogan experience as well as beingcredited as the mastermind behind his father’s push into the “manosphere” media
and finally credited for Andrew Tate's release from a Romanian prison.[25] In other words, Barron is now engaging in political activity within the Trump administration. Would he have that role if he wasn't Trump's son? Maybe not, but the main criticism is that (quoting Mangoe)the material is stuff which for the most part could be written about any recent high school grad.
For instance, Donald saying that he didn't think Barron had yet had a girlfriend is the type of coverage that doesn't satisfy 1). - Likewise, 2) appears to be addressed as well. Wikipedia:Who is a low-profile individual gives examples of high-profile activities as willingly participating in the political sphere or providing commercial endorsements. It's already shown that Barron has started being politically active by engaging with influencers. But Barron is also involved with and endorsing World Liberty Financial. He is currently listed as a "Web3 Ambassador" [26] and formerly as a "DeFi visionary".[27] All of this coverage occurred after the AfD.
- To summarize, Barron Trump is a marginal adviser in the Trump administration. He pushed for Andrew Tate to be freed from a Romanian prison and the Joe Rogan podcast, in addition to his role in Trump's crypto adventures. That removes him from the WP:LPI policy and gives him non-inherited notability. Chess (talk) (please mention me on reply) 18:58, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect: as suggested in the last AfD. Nothing's changed in the last 9 months that makes this person more notable. You can only find mentions of him in relation to other Trump things.

- .. It goes on and on like that many more. You get the idea, he is famous, the press covers his every move. As INHERIT says, it doesn't matter if is solely known for his relationship with his father, what matters is that someone is famous (notable per GNG). -- GreenC 16:25, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

The article currently cites substantive profiles of him, not just
"Prez Trump did XYZ and Barron was there."

While there may have been additional reporting since the previous AFD, the nature of the reporting is the same. He is only reported about because of Donald Trump things. If Donald Trump didn't have the profile they do, we wouldn't know about Barron, the article wouldn't exist and we wouldnt' be having this repetitive discussion. Notability is not inherited.

- Changing my vote from the last discussion to Keep. While his article probably could use a trim for someone who doesn't have any social media or any political ambitions yet, there has been some notable news articles that suggest he has done things besides exist as one of Trump's kids. The rumors that he got his father to court influencers is notable as RS generally argue that such actions helped drive out the Gen Z turnout in the election.

It still all goes back to his father. If his father wasn't who he was then the article wouldn't exist.
At what point does this logic cease to be applicable? Do I have to demonstrate a counterfactual scenario in which Donald Trump never ran for president and then prove that Barron Trump would've had the natural talents to become an influential adviser in the Jeb Bush administration?- Your argument would be more convincing if you could explain what Barron has to do in order to become notable in his own right, and why he has not achieved that. For example, having a significant advisory role in the Trump administration or campaign would make Barron notable in a similar way to Donald Trump Jr. Why does his masterminding of Andrew Tate's release or the Joe Rogan interview not meet that threshold?

- To basically repeat what I said last time, redirect per WP:BLP, WP:NOTINHERITED, and because of the quality of the material. I cannot, apparently, say this enough: Sourcing alone is not notability. And reading through the article, the material is stuff which for the most part could be written about any recent high school or college grad. If he weren't the former president's son, nobody would know. He has no more history than I do, or than had the acquaintance of mine who happens to be Jay Gould's great*granddaughter. The only interest in him derives from his father. And besides that, it's just simple BLP courtesy not to repeat what is largely gossipy/promotional trash, no matter how "reliable" the source is. In the end, this fails the "why do we care?" test in a big way, since "because we're nosy about famous people's kids" is (a) the actual answer, (b) not satisfying GNG, and (c) baldly in contravention of BLP's letter and spirit.

- Comment — I am not convinced that an association between Trump and his father confers notability, and this article must be decided on its merits based on WP:GNG. As of this comment, Trump is only significant because he purportedly accrued voters for his father. If Trump were not born to a famous figure, that would not be sufficient. The "breadth" of coverage is quite narrow, evidenced by his limited career experience. However, I find that he is a recognizable figure and a subsection in an article would not be appropriate for the coverage he has received. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 20:57, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep — Arguments exclusively based on Trump's association with his father are invalid, per WP:INVALIDBIO. WP:NOTABILITY requires that articles on people meet two criteria: that an article is warranted, and that WP:BIO is met as a SNG; WP:BIO defers to WP:GNG if one of the specially-listed criteria is not met, which is the case here. Much of Trump's notability here is dependent upon his father, which itself is not explicitly handled by policy but mentioned in WP:INHERITED. I see no reason to oppose having this article in mainspace if the criteria at GNG, which appears to be the final arbiter of inclusion, are met. In terms of sourcing itself, it can be conceded that many of the sources included would not automatically give Trump significance—indeed, no claim of significance is made beyond Trump being the youngest son of Donald Trump, which itself is not sufficient per WP:INVALIDBIO—and certainly cannot be used to support notability. The mere "common knowledge" of Trump's existence is not relevant in this circumstance. A separation between Trump's connection to his father and his activities can and must be reasonably separated. However, as a political advisor, it can be argued that Trump is weakly notable for his role in influencing his father. Given at least one source, the Vanity Fair article, that directly covers him, significant coverage does exist. I do not see a reason to oppose on the basis that he has no significance, which appears to be the dividing principle here, not notability. On the basis of notability, Trump clearly meets the standards at WP:GNG. On the basis of significance, Trump is not a significant figure and him being a member of the Trump family cannot be used to support that. This situation would not be unusual for Wikipedia, where there are numerous examples of articles whose subjects are not significant or do not possess a claim of significance, but which otherwise exist, e.g. historical football players whose existence is justified by GNG deference through WP:SPORTCRIT. I see Trump as no different here. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 04:15, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. The subject has sufficient notability and breadth of reliable source coverage. Most of the sources do not only mention him in passing. Please read the article and check its source content before forming a decision on the AfD. A source assessment of the article's draft (not long before it was promoted) is also available. —ADavidB 23:54, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. The number of reliable sources writing entire articles about Barron Trump is undeniable, even if the coverage is a bit trite. Passes WP:GNG. Go look at Barron Trump#References with a CiteHighligher script turned on and there's like 60 highlighted green, plus some books. Then search the page for the word "Barron" and look again at that references section: many of the sources mention him in the title, indicating he is the primary subject of those articles. He's been covered like 6 times in People Magazine, 3 times in The New York Times, etc. –Novem Linguae (talk) 00:23, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect to Family of Donald Trump - lacks significant coverage about Barron's notability. All the sources derive from the fact he is the son of the current president. Notability is not inherited. Dan arndt (talk) 05:05, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Whether notability is inherited or not is irrelevant. WP:NOTINHERITED (and the opposing argument) is part of an 'essay' on deletion, not a guideline or policy. Barron passes WP:GNG. SK2242 (talk) 06:15, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- Restore redirect when pieces that do cover Barron aren't primarily revolving around either of his parents or their comments on him (the latter wouldn't count as independent coverage due to the close affiliation both have with this guy), they only seem to be focused on mundane things like school, height, personal interests (including sports), and to a lesser extent one brief real estate endeavor. The lattermost is the only thing that could possibly stand out as more than a run-of-the-mill "I'm a student who largely stays out of the spotlight", but at least for now, it's not enough to convince me that he has garnered enough attention for things which have nothing to do with family ties.

It is a violation of our no original research policy to use Wikipedia as a direct publication platform for a new thesis. It's not the same as the last time, true, Girth Summit, but it is equally as vague and woolly. Commenters on lobste.rs (that weren't those acknowledging a connection to the author) noted that it could cover practically anything where a table was somehow involved, and that's nowhere near being the level of peer review and acknowledgement by the world at large that this needs.

- Responding to ping above - I had no recollection of having declined a speedy on this article, but the history tells me I did so I must have! My decline should not be read as any sort of endorsement of the article, I merely compared it with the previous version, saw that it wasn't the same text, noted that there was a >10 year gap between the two, and thought that a speedy deletion wasn't appropriate. No objection from me if the consensus is to delete this version. Girth Summit (blether) 13:52, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
As was predicted by delete !voters in 2021 and 2022, this event has not had any persistent coverage. I cannot find news coverage since the strike ended; it is not mentioned in articles about other acts of youth protest or otherwise used as a point of comparison. All I find googling it is tons of other hunger strikes that do not have articles, because hunger strikes, while dramatic, are a not-infrequent act of political protest, and usually do not pass WP:GNG, let alone the higher bar of WP:NEVENT. (Morbid but true, usually the thing that makes a hunger strike pass those bars is someone dying, which did not happen in this case.) Perhaps there's room for a single sentence at For the People Act (currently neither that nor John Lewis Voting Rights Act mention this), but not for an article. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 06:41, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

- Think a simple Redirect to the For the People Act with a mention of the strike would be preferable than deleting it outright. Article is well sourced, but don't think it merits a standalone article on its own. - Epluribusunumyall (talk) 19:31, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- I'd say that having previously been an article would still make the title plausible, since it might be linked from somewhere off-wiki, or someone might remember the title or have it bookmarked or search. The article got 400 views in 2024, which is low but nontrivial. The real question, for redirection versus deletion, is whether there's something to redirect to. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 19:48, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Boldly merged and BLARed this to Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn but was reverted. I do not think this statue warrants a standalone article. There is barely any meaningful content here; the article more closely resembles an entry in a travel guide for prospective tourists than an encyclopedia article, and the topic can be amply covered within the article about the series (edit: as I discussed later in the AfD following additional edits to the article, I think it would fit best as a section of DiverCity Tokyo Plaza) or on the Cultural impact of Gundam page (or both). silviaASH (inquire within) 13:37, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep per GNG and HEY. Re: "There is barely any meaningful content here" -- WP:SOFIXIT! This nomination is a statement about the current state of the article, not the amount of coverage the subject has received. I'm not convinced WP:BEFORE was completed and this should probably have started with an article talk page discussion. I've added quite a few sources to the article, which should be expanded and improved, not deleted. I also see there are quite a few non-English sources, if any multilingual editors are able to review. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:25, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- I did look up the subject before nominating- I didn't see an extraordinary amount of coverage. While the subject does clearly satisfy GNG, I still don't think it meets WP:PAGEDECIDE, even after the improvements that have been made. I just don't think there's that much to say about the topic that can't slot neatly into a section on Cultural impact of Gundam or DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, both articles which themselves could use some improvement. silviaASH (inquire within) 15:39, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- "the subject does clearly satisfy GNG" is a reason to keep the article. Instead of worrying about how to update multiple articles about the topic, I think it makes more sense to focus on updating this article, so I'll keep workin' on it! ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:38, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
...significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article.
silviaASH (inquire within) 20:32, 30 March 2025 (UTC)- Anyway, I went and looked at the sources that have been added more closely, and while it's evident that there's more to talk about in regards to the statue than I may have initially thought, I still think that all of this information would be better off merged into the DiverCity Tokyo Plaza article. Many of the currently cited sources ([29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41]) only mention the statue trivially, in a long list of other recommended tourist spots. They say it's cool and everything (don't get me wrong, the statue is very cool and I'd personally love to go see it), but don't really address it in detail, so I don't think all of these qualify as WP:SIGCOV. The sources which do address the topic significantly ([42], [43], [44], [45]) do shed more light on the creation and establishment of the statue as an attraction and the motives for its construction, but I think all of this information could be summed up in about a paragraph within the DiverCity article. Two of the sources are just mirrors of one another ([46], [47]).
- Finally, the last couple of citations ([48], [49]) don't really talk about the statue itself so much as they talk about the place where the statue happens to be. The SoraNews source, in particular, primarily uses the Unicorn Gundam as the lead to talk about the DiverCity Plaza as a whole, and its many Gundam attractions. This is also the case with several of the 13 citations that mention the statue trivially- they do it within sentences (sometimes even within the same sentence) of bringing it up as the main attraction at the DiverCity Plaza. The headline of the paragraph in this source, just to name one of them, says as the heading of the paragraph in which the statue is acknowledged,
Gundam-themed mall opened in Tokyo
. This is a clear and consistent pattern even in the sources which acknowledge the statue non-trivially- they primarily discuss it as the centerpiece of DiverCity, and its numerous other Gundam-related attractions. - This is why I think the statue isn't independently notable. It isn't ever discussed independently of the mall. For this reason, I think it would be best (again, per WP:PAGEDECIDE), to merge the contents of the article into the DiverCity Tokyo Plaza article, and discuss it as the primary attraction of that area. Being discussed in a standalone article means that readers are missing the context of the statue's ultimate purpose, which is to attract people to the mall and hopefully get them to purchase a Gunpla. silviaASH (inquire within) 21:25, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. We'll have to agree to disagree, but for now I've added several additional news sources specifically focused on the statue and I'll continue to tinker at the article as I have time. Happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:40, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete or maybe redirect to DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, which already has a paragraph on this. This is a statue at a shopping mall with no sign that this is a significant monument. Asparagusstar (talk) 15:46, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm not sure if we have a notability guideline for statues or art installations or attractions (though, if we do, I'd definitely like to know about it), but this likewise seems to me to not be independently notable of the DiverCity Plaza. silviaASH (inquire within) 20:38, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I'd say since WP:ARTIST has standards like "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique" or "The person's work has become a significant monument," then notability for an individual work of art would have similar standards. This statue is not a significant new concept, doesn't display significant new techniques, isn't a significant monument, etc. Asparagusstar (talk) 01:34, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep per APK, easily meets GNG and HEY. Lots of adequate sourcing on the page. Seems the fact that it is exhibited at a shopping mall is being used as a negative of some kind.

- Been thinking I may have made a mistake in opening an AfD (I jumped to that thinking it was necessary because of the reversed BLAR) and I should have opened a merge proposal discussion instead. I still don't think the article meets PAGEDECIDE, but I ought to have given more consideration to if AfD was the appropriate venue for that concern. Anyway, at this point I think I don't support deletion in any case, with the clear improvements the article has received, this should be either kept or merged. If this AfD closes as keep I'll wait a bit for development to happen and perhaps consider discussing a merge down the line if I feel that my criticisms remain relevant. silviaASH (inquire within) 11:47, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- Such a full and improved page shouldn't be merged, as the only reason for a merge would be its location and not judging the artwork on its own merits.

The article relies on a single primary source, and its tone is unbalanced. For a long time, no additional sources were added, and it is difficult to find references for such a minor battle. Although the Assyrians retreated during this battle, it is still considered a victory because the source comes from a book written by one of the Assyrian leaders who participated in the war. However, the part stating that the Assyrians retreated has been removed. Here is the old version of the article [1]. Sikorki (talk) 03:08, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep The single source is not a primary source - this indicates a misunderstanding of what a primary source is. Moreover, it is irrelevant at AfD whether an article relies on primary sources (completely acceptable), uses only a single source (not preferred, but okay), is non-neutral or incomplete (because WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP) - this indicates a misunderstanding of this process. That being the case, the impulse is to toss this nomination without further ado. A google search turns up multiple references. [50] Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:54, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hawkeye7 note that GNG does generally require multiple secondary sources:
"Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected.
Also note WP:OR:Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them.
The book describes itself as "first-hand", which suggests that it's a primary source (though I have not looked at the source itself so this could be misleading). But none of this matters because it looks like it's self-published. The article should be kept if those references you've added give significant coverage, but it's hard to tell from WP:GOOGLEHITS. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 03:02, 18 March 2025 (UTC)- The mistake that many newbies make is assuming that the sources required by GNG to establish notability must be those used in the article.

Originally created when the event was announced in a Eurovision Song Contest-style format for each participating country, however this event has not gained nearly the same level of media attention or general awareness, and thus I believe individual country articles outlining participation in these events do not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidance. Specifically I refer to WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV, as from what I can see coverage of these events is limited to fan media and promotional releases. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:36, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. The sources for these articles are either primary sources (the ABU) or Eurovision-related sites that include passing mention of ABU participants (since the idea is that these events would be appealing to ESC fans). Even with that, the information was largely reformatted from press releases. As the nominator noted, these events never gained traction nor are they competitive like their inspiration's format. The yearly occurrences (ABU Radio Song Festival 2012, ABU TV Song Festival 2012, etc, - both GAs!) appear to have enough coverage, but I'm not sure what's accomplished by having a list of the handful of songs that each country 'sent' to be showcases (not voted on by the public). It's an interesting event, but these pages are remnants of an attempt to treat it like its much larger/more impactful, which was a product of being part of the former WP:ESC and its page creation structure (now deprecated for non-competitive events). These pages could be replaced by a single article "List of ABU Radio Song Festival songs" or whathaveyou, but that's probably the extent of it given where notability stands and I wouldn't make this deletion contingent on its creation (or an alternative). Grk1011 (talk) 13:12, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- Comment this article is written just, disastrously, but there are some non-news sources. It may however need to be "eventified" or shifted scope. not sure, because the notability seems to be mixed between the crime, her conviction, and elements of her as a person which is why this case is notable, so I think it may be the best choice to write it as a biography. However I would not object to someone nuking most of this page because we should not be using FindLaw on a BLP!!

Fails WP:ORG. Defunct provincial party that achieved insignificant results in the elections it contested, never garnering more than a hundredth of a percent of the popular vote or half a percent in any riding. A search through Google and provincial archives returned no in-depth coverage in reliable sources. The news sources given are routine coverage that neither focus on the party nor describe it in detail. All the other sources are standard governmental reports that do not establish the party's notability. Yue🌙 01:20, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. It has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject (National Post, Vancouver Sun, Vernon Morning Star, Penticton Western News). The article is not "abusing Wikipedia for advertising and promotion" as the party is long defunct. I started the article, but have no connection to the party or its organizers, and have never lived in British Columbia. Ground Zero | t 01:44, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: The Plainfield Horse Show was apparently a prominent event of its time, run by the club, and had its own show grounds. Numerous sources exist, however they are prior to the internet. According to WP:NPOSSIBLE, it is only necessary to show that sources exist, though it is not necessary to have cited them in the article. My wiki-work in the area of carriages and driving has enabled me to find enough sources on this topic to indicate that this subject passes standards for notability. There are 15 search results in the New York Times archives ranging from 1907 to 1935 for "Plainfield Horse Show".[1] Almay has numerous historical photos,[2][3] most of which have been copied to WikiCommons. The articles and photos indicate several high society individuals attended as spectators and competed in the shows. Since driving clubs limited their memberships to worthy well-connected individuals, and driving is/was an expensive pastime, I would expect that society pages would be covering this annual horse show. This 1906 issue of Bit & Spur[4] has numerous references to Plainfield (the club, the grounds, and the show) throughout the issue, and on page 129 covers the first day of the show, names the class winners, and mentions there will be more detailed coverage to follow in their next issue. There are three pages of coverage in a Bit & Spur 1913 issue.[5] The content in these two issues indicate to me that this periodical probably extensively covered this horse show for many years. Another periodical, The Carriage Monthly also covered the Plainfield shows.[6] At this point, having satisfied myself that this is a notable topic, I stopped searching for more sources. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 20:42, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- I really respect your expertise in this field. I did read the mentions of the club in newspapers before I even suggested this article for deletion. They mentioned the horse shows and sometimes contestants and winners, but not the club itself.
- I just read references 4 and 5 below. Nearly every reference in 4 is either a photo caption or mentions a horse entered in a show. Page 341 basically describes a new venue for the club, names the committee that brought this to pass and says they got drunk. The article in reference 5 is mostly about a show at the venue. Neither of these cover the club in depth; they talk about the shows.
- WP:ORGSIG requires significant attention from independent sources, and photo captions and race date anouncements don't qualify because they tell us nothing about the club.
- I believe you that members of high society were club members, but WP:INHERITORG says that organizations don't inherit notability from members.
- WP:ORGCRITE says that notability requires significant coverage from multiple reliable sources, and the sources I've read talk about the grounds, which are not the club, and the horse shows, which also are not the club. The only mention of club members named the ones who somehow got the venue built and got drunk. None of this explains to the reader the club's notability, why and how it came into being, what its purpose was, etc. I couldn't even find a newspaper article about the fate of the venue or the club. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 09:16, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
- Then we should rename the article to Plainfield Horse Show, especially since that fits closer to the types of sources that do exist, and leave the club name to a mention within the article. (I would do it, but not during an AfD.) The grounds were owned by the club, and the show was run by the club. It is common practice in Wikipedia to lump together in one article all closely related topics if there isn't too much content, for example a company, it's founder, it's products, and it's headquarters. Sometimes it's a toss-up as to whether the article is titled for the company, the founder, or its product. It was common practice for a club, patron or organization to establish and hold long-running horse shows. Examples include Badminton Horse Trials at Badminton House, and the Topping Riding Club (still in existence) held a horse show for several years before it was renamed Hampton Classic Horse Show after its more famous location, The Hamptons. You missed my point about the elite. I meant that the show would have gotten ample news coverage because of its patronage by famous names (sources exist), and was not trying to suggest that celebrity competitors made the show notable (inheriting notability). Just because it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to find those sources online, doesn't mean they don't exist. I have shown that sources do exist for the horse show, quite in detail, and over a long period of time (10+ years). See WP:NPOSSIBLE: "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article". Since we can easily rename the article (and expand it with my recent research), I suggest focusing less on "the club" (current title) and more on "the topic" of the club, which includes it's show, it's members, it's grounds, etc. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 15:29, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

- Weak Keep and expand The problem is that we have a one sentence stub. Looks like the club formed to run the horse show, so there’s little sense in splitting the two concepts. Now that it has been discovered , Someone (and it won’t be me, but I am linking some sources I found if anyone else is interested ) needs to expand it enough so that it can stand on its own. But I concur that this show/club was notable, and I would make an analogy to the articles on various horse races that were a big deal in their time but are now defunct. I’m on Newspapers.com and a constrained search for this club name gave me 577 hits. Looks like the club itself incorporated in 1905 with $25,000 of capitalization and there had been a horse show in 1904. I have linked an article on the 1905 incorporation and a oiece in NJ.com from 2012 discussing the event. Another clipping from 1963 discussing the show in 1913 noted that it drew 400 entries, which was pretty impressive. Looks like it ran through about 1917 or so— these shows stopped during WWI and many never recovered — and the grounds burned down in 1922. Looks like the organization had a polo team for a while afterwards. But bottom line is that I recommend we close this for now, give interested editors a chance to build it up from a stub, and then see what we have quality wise. As a horse show, it easily hits notability. Montanabw(talk) 06:04, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and Rename. The sources found by Grorp are adequate to show notability of the horse show at the very least. Per WP:PRESERVE I think this should be updated rather than deleted.

This seems like a WP:BLP1E. Also, Ndiaye isn't even a chaplain yet, but a chaplain candidate, so even notability for that event seems not particularly special. I don't think she meets WP:ANYBIO either. For most other chaplains to get firsts like Bonnie Koppell and Abdul-Rasheed Muhammad, they have more significant accomplishments beyond being the first chaplain of their religion/gender, and I don't think Ndiaye's removal from the DoD website, while unfortunate, is something that qualifies as making her more notable. Ndiaye also doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG as the Army source is not independent, and there really isn't any WP:SIGCOV outside of the NYTimes article, so not multiple sources.
I'd say draftifying at very least would be appropriate until Ndiaye actually becomes a chaplain. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 02:38, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- We will likely not know if she becomes a chaplain as it probably will not be reported on in this administration so we would not have RS coverage on it. The usual timeline for that happening would be next month.
- While the nominator suggests her accomplishment is not "particularly special", when you recognize the historical weight of her accomplishment in the 200+ year history of the US Army, notability is considerable. The fact that she received a press release on her nomination at the time, which garnered attention from the paper of record, is significant coverage.
- The removal of her information from the DoD website is more than "unfortunate", it's part of an orchestrated attempt to rewrite history, which makes the subject even more notable.
- Nayyn (talk) 03:20, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Any reporting from the administration doesn't matter either way as that's not independent. Press releases from the Army don't count as independent coverage. The NYT article does, but it is only one part of meeting WP:GNG which requires multiple sources. And then there's still the WP:BLP1E concerns. 2LT Ndiaye is probably likely to remain WP:LPI and we can't WP:CRYSTALBALL that she won't. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 11:18, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- Oppose deletion. I'll admit many of the points that the nominator has raised are relevant if you are considering a strict definition of WP:NBIO. However the fact that few outside sources exist for this person do not negate the fact that this person exists and the sources that do exist are reliable. Her erasure by the administration (and from history), and despite the points raised by the nominator were what predicated the creation of this article in the brilliant Wikipedia spirit of WP:BOLD and WP:IAR. In terms or notability WP:ANYBIO, Ndiaye would be recognized as someone who would be counted as "part of the enduring historical record in a specific field", considering the 240+ year history of chaplaincy in the United States Army. I think it would be hard to argue against that fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nayyn (talk • contribs) 03:55, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Chaplain Corps (United States Army)#Other notable chaplains, at least until there is more SIGCOV.

The result was no consensus. The article saw some improvement during the three-week course of this AfD, but it isn't clear whether the concerns raised by the nom were addressed. I see no consensus that the topic itself is non-notable. Editors are encouraged to remove any unverifiable/WP:OR content, even if this whittles the article down to a stub.

There is no such thing as the "Continuity Model of British Ancestry", and the old sources being united under this heading are about different things, and are handled in various other WP articles. This new article fails in terms of WP:NOTE, WP:OR, and WP:V.

Keep This is about a school of thought that was once dominant in British genetics as late as 15 years ago, which will mean that the subject is notable. which if included in other articles would give undue weight to the now largely abandoned idea that the British gene pool is substantially unaffected by subsequent invaders, because Wikipedia was being substantially written then. There was at two major TV series devoted to this, Francis Pryor's Britain AD and Britain BC, while you had some best sellers (as well as the accompanying books from Francis Pryor, they also included Blood of the Isles and The Origins of the British) which propounded a theory that was dominant in academia before more genetic testing of ancient DNA became practical. Some quotes that illustrate the thinking from that time:
- "The gene pool of the island has changed, but more slowly and far less completely than implied by the old 'invasion model', and the notion of large-scale migrations, once the key explanation for change in early Britain, has been widely discredited." Dr Simon James - BBC article
- "All these marker systems indicate a deep-shared ancestry in the Atlantic zone, dating at least in part to the end of the Ice Age" - Genetics and the Origins of the British Population - in the Wiley Encyclopedia of Life Sciences (accesible with Wikimedia)
- "But geneticists who have tested DNA throughout the British Isles are edging toward a different conclusion. Many are struck by the overall genetic similarities, leading some to claim that both Britain and Ireland have been inhabited for thousands of years by a single people that have remained in the majority, with only minor additions from later invaders like Celts, Romans, Angles, Saxons, Vikings and Normans." Nicholas Wade
- "The genetic evidence shows that three quarters of our ancestors came to this corner of Europe as hunter-gatherers, between 15,000 and 7,500 years ago, after the melting of the ice caps but before the land broke away from the mainland and divided into islands." - Prospect article by Stephen Oppenheimer, a major populariser of the argument
- "This idea of a ‘Beaker Folk’ became unpopular after the 1960s as scepticism grew about the role of migration in mediating change in archaeological cultures" - The Beaker Phenomenon and the Genomic Transformation of Northwest Europe *"During the 1960s scepticism began to grow about the primacy of migration as a vector of social change in prehistory." The return of the Beaker Folk? Rethinking migration and population change in British prehistory academic paper that severely challenged the school
- "By that time, many scholars favoured a model of elite dominance involving small, mobile warbands and the acculturation of the local British population" The Anglo-Saxon migration and the formation of the early English gene pool - Later article that severely challenged this school
I intend to add others as this debate goes on. JASpencer (talk) 06:53, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- @JASpencer: As discussed on the article talk page, what you are listing are at best different arguments (I think doubts would be a better term) against different possible migrations, in different periods of history and prehistory. They are simply not united by any "model" or "school" or "theory" or "movement". (To pre-empt another possible argument, they are also not united by being the results of genetic research. Doubts about the extreme "migrationism" of the late 19th and early 20th century, were, as you show yourself, common long before genetic evidence became available. Indeed your genetic-oriented sources are from the period before meaningful genetic evidence was available.) There are also other articles for every valid point that can be discussed about the sources you are uniting. Also, as discussed concerning recent articles you tried to create, putting everything else aside it wouldn't make any sense to make separate articles for models (for example the Germanicist extreme "migrationism") and diverse critics of those models [53][54].--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 08:42, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

- It is an honest question, and has nothing to do with your editing proposal. If there is a source, then maybe I should change my own opinion, which is that the article should be deleted (although there would still be major overlap concerns). Concerning editing the article, the whole idea seems a bit surreal unless we can define some notable topic which this article is about? Right now it is essentially a collection of snippets about different topics which are covered in other articles. Not only is there already an article about the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain, but even an extra article about the history of debates about it, made recently by the same editor who recently made this one Historiography of the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain. In the same series of events we also had two more articles created for BOTH sides of the specific continuity migration this article about [55][56]. These now redirect to Migrationism and diffusionism. We also have [[57]]. Andrew Lancaster (talk) 17:45, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Reason Myuoh kaka roi (talk) 12:45, 22 March 2025 (UTC) This entire article contains numerous unreferenced claims about the various variants of sit-ups, lacking any reliable sources to support them. The information appears to have been added by some bunch of students, incorporating misleading and nonsensical details that violate Wikipedia’s content policies. Furthermore, most of the information on this topic is derived from news sources and it is not required to make a seperate article for this topic in wikipedia if further research isn't made.

- Keep - The article is in line with other comparative charts for military ranks that have been kept for years. As shown in the introduction and history sections, gendarmeries across the francophone world commonly developed from the French gendarmerie that was made up of deployed personnel from France alongside locally recruited personnel. So, this article provides an easy view of the similarities between these forces, alongside the more interesting differences as seen in the cases of Mauritius and Vanuatu, where while acting as and being recognised as gendarmeries in the literature, follow British policing inspired rank systems, due to British colonial interests and history in these territories. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 15:52, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep - Having received notification from the relevant WikiProject, I took a look at the article and sources, but couldn't find what the problem is other than minor editorial issues, so I decided to come here for more info. I totally agree with Cdjp1 and others. This is in line with other comparative charts especially in the military. It is notable with plenty of reliable sources, not to mention helpful to the general reader, and I see no problem here. Tamsier (talk) 10:01, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- It's nice that the people of the MilHist project seem to like this article, but why? The text has no comparison of the ranks at all, just provides some background. The large gallery provides no context and has no clear relation to the article text. The implicit claims in the gallery (e.g. that a sergeant-major in Canada isn't comparable to a sergeant-major in Chad, or that a corporal in Tunisia isn't comparable to a corporal in Vanuatu) are unreferenced, and it is very unclear which of the 23 sources, if any, are actually about the comparison in the table, or whether this table is pure WP:OR, and whether any reliable sources actually do care about the comparison of Tunisian ranks with Vanuatuan ranks. Fram (talk) 10:32, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

- I totally agree with Thehistorianisaac. As I've stated above, there are indeed editorial issues, which could be fixed, but that's not a ground for deletion. The issues could be fixed through our normal editing process, but the article is notable and warrants a stand-alone. Tamsier (talk) 08:16, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- You both claim this is notable, but neither of you has responded to my question; which of the 23 sources, if any, are actually about the comparison in the table, or whether this table is pure WP:OR, and whether any reliable sources actually do care about the comparison of e.g. Tunisian ranks with Vanuatuan ranks.
- The topîc of the article is the comparison, so you need sources about the comparison, not sources about individual countries nor about the history of the French gendarmerie. This is not an editorial issue, this is a fundamental issue for an AfD. Fram (talk) 09:14, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
