Non notable artist with lack of independent RS to establish GNG or NARTIST. Florence Biennial is a Vanity exhibition. See: User:Theredproject/Predatory Exhibitions and Vanity Galleries. The only source that is even close to being an RS is the Time Out piece which never mentions the artists, and is only about the person represented in the sculpture.

• Delete search finds no WP:SIGCOV. He is mentioned as the sculptor under the name, "Henry Bezalel Tsafir" in this 2014 article in Arutz Sheva Channel 7 and it goes on to say, "one of the most promising sculptors in the new Israeli art scene." which implies he was not notable, even when this work was created. In this 2014 "Scooper" press release (which is not a reliable source but was used as a citation in the related WP article, The Zionist Journey) it reads he was in a lawsuit over his name not being used on the sculpture.

This page was previously deleted in January 2020 for failing notability:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Carroll Wood, the page was recreated recently with many more references, largely obituaries from the time, added, however there is nothing new added that establishes notability. Being "the first Canadian Officer to fall in battle during the Boer War." lacks RS and is a questionable basis for notability. Doesn't meet any of WP:SOLDIER. The page and the new references added seem to be more about his notable ancestors than him, but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED Mztourist (talk) 07:08, 29 April 2020 (UTC) Since proposing this AFD many more references have been added which has turned this into the most OBITUARY and MEMORIAL page I have ever seen. However all the sources that I can access are focussed on his notable family rather than Wood himself and so my original basis is unchanged, notability is NOTINHERITED.

• If it is an obituary published by a major newspaper (e.g., Guardian, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, etc.), these are articles which have the same editorial oversight as other articles in those publications.

• Weak Keep - based on the comments of AlexdeGrey and Peterkingiron. There does seem to be a lot of sources talking about him, and he seems to have received notoriety due to the Queen's interest and having a small community named after him. That said, I have a hard time judging these borderline calls, particularly concerning a man who died more than a hundred years ago, and whom I had never heard of before. Alternatively, it might be appropriate to pair this down and merge it into a section of Chaswood, Nova Scotia.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 00:51, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This fails WP:NCORP, which is what it is.

• Weak keep The institution isn't accredited in the United States so we need to turn to the available sources to determine if this subject is otherwise notable. One of the sources included in the current article was written by the founder of the institution so it's not a very good source for establishing notability although it should still count for something considering that it's not self-published. I don't know anything about the other sources cited in the article; a quick glance doesn't throw any immediate red flags and I'm being generous in my !vote by assuming that they're reliable. If that isn't the case, my !vote would change to delete unless other sources can be provided. ElKevbo (talk) 15:15, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which sources in this article are independent coverage, ElKevbo? Praxidicae (talk) 15:19, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae, I have added few references, These must be independent reliable such as nipc.gov and Pitchbook, Forbes and many others. Jai49 (talk) 04:46, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jai49 I would expect someone of your tenure to know better. this isn't reliable and it isn't independent. The government website is also not independent coverage. It's a listing. Governments aren't in the business of journalism. Praxidicae (talk) 12:13, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as a WP:CORP/WP:ORG failure. None of the cited sources meet the WP:ORGDEPTH standard. An independent search only finds more sponsored content. The school's UK-based accrediting agency has a spotty record for vetting institutions. That tips the balance for me against giving it a pass as an independently-accredited degree-granting institution. • Gene93k (talk) 15:39, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Article is indeed promotional in tone and full of OR in content, and looks like it was written by a COI editor. Relevant content is already found in Southern Christian Leadership Conference--this is not a case of one chapter being obviously notable in its own right. Drmies (talk) 02:12, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, for reasons stated by Drmies. Anything important should probably be moved to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference page if it's not already there and can be properly sourced, but as this is currently written, it's not encyclopedic and portions violate WP:PROMOTION. Also, I can't figure out why the references are listed the way they are. Kalethan (talk) 20:39, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kalethan, it is because LALeBan didn't read WP:INLINECITE, and instead of making footnotes that would be gathered in a reflist, they used the "ref" template like this, <ref>1</ref>, to make superscript notes in the text (they could have used the superscript tag for it, had they known what they were doing); there is a bot that automatically adds a reflist at the bottom of the text when it sees "ref" tags but no reflist template. They've been here since 2011, and unfortunately they are not, apparently, inclined to participate here. Drmies (talk) 20:57, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Editorial solution to be found. I am closing the following AfDs together: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hungarian names in space, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Serbian names in space, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thai names in space. Considering all three AfDs together, there is no consensus to delete the articles outright, but consensus that something should be done editorially to better organize this kind of content.

• Comment: As mentioned elsewhere, the three sources I added to the article are the only ones I could find (apart from blogs) that cover the objects as a group. The IOAA 2017 Newsletter article covers all of them, the Thai Astronomical Society covers Martian and Venusian features, and the Siamrath reprint of a NARIT article covers the asteroids, though it's not quite complete. These might be just enough to support the list grouping, taking it beyond original synthesis, but I'm not quite convinced either way. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:44, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Paul 012 and User:Avram25 I also looked at the sources and searched for them before nominating, but apart from a blog and one newsletter no source mentions them all as a group. There may be sourcing for Thai asteriod names, or Thai crater names, but the list Thai names in space is even then OR. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 09:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MistyGraceWhite: It looks to me like it's a better option to keep such a list like this one, instead of splitting it into Thai crater names, Thai asteroid names etc. After all, the reader is more interested about an entire list than about small separate lists.

They have redirected a draft version to the mainspace article, and when I moved the mainspace article back to draft today, the creator had moved it back.

OK I’ve done it now. The new sources are in to support notability. Unsourced material is out. I’ve kept the non-independent sources to support specific details of his life.

Withdrawn by nominator. @Fentener van Vlissingen:You just created a beautiful story out of thin air. Chapeau! because a web search turned triggered my disappointment. Also per Mccapra BTW. KittenKlub (talk) 22:33, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

Pikin Santi is non-notable village. A quick search brings up a wordpress document which says that population was 60.[9] Only resorts are in the Suriname census. The information in the document could be transferred to the resort Wanhatti, but the only information are the names of captain which cannot be verified. KittenKlub (talk) 18:26, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly are the criteria for notability of a village? There are very few Amerindian or Maroon villages with more than 60 inhabitants, even the residencies of the granman of the Maroon nations (Asidonhopo, Diitabiki, Langatabiki, Pusugrunu, Witagron) don't usually exceed that number. I guess you could nominate all villages in this category for deletion. Fentener van Vlissingen (talk) 20:05, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Fentener van Vlissingen:It's more a combination. Langatabiki has an article. The problem is providing information more than the obvious about these tiny villages. If I search for the village, there are some travel stories and that's it. It is a Ndyuka village, so it's fully autonomous from the Suriname government which makes finding any sources even harder. There are pages about the resorts and there is reasonably reliable information about the total number of inhabitants. KittenKlub (talk) 20:14, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@KittenKlub: I can't say I agree. Köbben spent some time in Pikin Santi during his anthropological fieldwork and published quite some ethnographic material about the place. Pikin Santi is also mentioned in the book by Polimé and Thoden van Velzen about the Interior War and is mentioned in the Moiwana trial. If you search for Pikin Santi on Google Books there are plenty of hits, all from highly relevant material. Fentener van Vlissingen (talk) 22:34, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Not sure if this place is legally recognised; if it is, it’s notable under WP:GEOLAND. If not, there are enough mentions of it in RIS to pass GNG. Mccapra (talk) 20:55, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mccapra:In that case I'll withdraw. The recognition is not the problem. The village exists and it's on the map. KittenKlub (talk) 21:03, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mccapra:Yes, this village is legally recognized by the Surinamese authorities. Since the 1760 peace between the Ndyuka and the Dutch colonial authorities, the captains of Ndyuka villages are recognized as traditional authorities (Dutch: traditioneel gezag) and receive salaries paid for by the state.

Algocu, many of those sources you cited are from blogs and forum sites, so it would be better if there are more reliable sources you can find out there. Horse Eye Jack, thanks for pointing the existence of that article. My mistake to have let it slip off my radar, but I am not particularly good with locate pre-1990s sources online (they don't appear in google searches that often). If there are articles coming from multiple independent sources which covers the company in great depth, as per WP:CORP, I am happy to withdraw the nomination. --Dps04 (talk) 19:12, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The pieces in LA Times and LEDs Magazines are passing mentions, but the article from Taiwan Today qualifies as a significant coverage. While I would have expected more than two sources, two sources should suffice for a company founded in the 1960s (WP:MULTSOURCES).

• With all due respect, most if not all of those are transactional/are mere blurbs/aren't really significant coverage, and the best article only talks about him in the sense that he's been drafted, which is the level of coverage expected for anyone who was drafted. If there are two or three which particularly convey notability, it would be helpful if you could identify those instead. SportingFlyer T·C 07:10, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I tried to ignore the articles that simply mentioned he was drafted. And I can't access the Newspapers.com sources, although it seems from the preview that they would help satisfy GNG. So besides them, the top articles are this, this and this.

• Here are clippings of the Newspapers.com articles you've added: [25], [26], [27], [28]. Two of the best three articles you list above are a transactional piece and a fantasy football guide in which Smith is ranked as the 34th-best kicker out of 34 for the 2006 season (there are 32 teams in the NFL, so Smith wasn't even considered the best fantasy kicker on his team).

The result was delete. The decision comes down to the quality of the sources. In defense of the article, an impressive number of sources were proffered, but a closer analysis shows that they fail independence critera, or only mention the subject in passing. This analysis seems to have been endorsed by a large majority of the participants and I find no convincing arguments in rebuttal. While any reliable source can be used to verify a claim in an article even if it is not in-depth, satisfying notability requirements generally requires independent sourcing that goes beyond what you would find in a directory or a press release.

(As a tip to AFD participants defending an article by presenting sources: Try to limit yourself to a few very good sources, don't throw everything up and see what sticks. Trying to overwhelm the discussion with dozens of weak sources is counterproductive as any good sources you do have end up being buried in the haystack.)

Finally, the fact that much of the article appears promotional in nature, and sourced to content sponsored by the restaurant chain (for example the content in the "Awards" section) does count against keeping the article. While such problems are in theory surmountable, the presence of content that appears to advertise a company is seriously detrimental to the reputation of Wikipedia as a neutral non-commercial website. If the article were kept these parts of the article would have to be removed or sourced to something more neutral and reliable. Sjakkalle (Check!) 21:29, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Run-of-the-mill restaurant chain, reads like an advertisement. Not a single reference that I can locate meets the criteria for establishing notability, there is no in-depth information on the company and no "Independent Content" on the company. There are reviews of individual restaurants and the food that is served but this does not help to establish notability for the company. Topic fails NCORP/GNG.

• • Comment I appreciate that took a lot of time. But based on the references you've provided above, all 17 of them, I think you are confusing the standard required from a reference in order to support a fact or assertion within an article (essentially WP:RS) and the standard required from a reference to meet the criteria for establishing notability (which is a lot stricter). The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source *unaffiliated to the subject*. Let's take a look at each of those 17 references:
    • This from Toronto Life and https://www.thestar.com/business/2014/02/19/mr_greek_establishes_middle_eastern_toehold.html this from The Star] are short articles where the contents rely entirely on information provided by the company and/or CEO and provides no in-depth information on the company. They relate to the same interview and carry the same quotations, fails WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH
    • This from Canadian Business Franchise and also this are interviews with entrepreneurs who bought a Mr. Greek franchise. There is no "Independent Content" nor any in-depth information on the company, fails WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH
    • This book entitled "Toronto's Many Faces" has a "Places to Go" section which lists various Greek food places and contains a single sentence on the company containing its contact details and a comment about becoming onve of the largest food chains in Toronto with over 20 restaurants. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
    • This from Toronto Sun is clearly marked: This content is sponsored by Mr. Greek . Fails WP:RS as well as WP:ORGIND.
    • This from The Globe and Mail is a review of an entirely different Greek restaurant with a mention-in-passing of this company. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
    • This book entitled "Official Gazette of the United States Patent and Trademark Office" from June 2003 lists the registered copyrights for that period and has a single entry which reads "Mr. Greek Restaurants Inc., Toronto, Ontario M3C 3S2, Canada: 2,720,243. Pub. 7-30-2002. Int. CL. 42." Fails WP:CORPDEPTH
    • This from the Financial Post is an article on how the revenues at full-service restaurants in Canada is "stagnant" and discusses possible reasons. In an interview with a market research firm executive, they comment "At licensed fast-casual restaurant chains such as Mr. Greek, patrons typically dine inside, a practice that drives up the average dining cheque." A mention-in-passing, no in-depth information on the company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
    • This newsletter from the Hellenic Canadian Academic Association of Ontario mentions the company twice. Once, pointing out that the food and drinks at the First annual University Studies Orientation Day (USOD) were "generously sponsored" by the owner of the company. The second time the company is mentioned saying that lunch at the Second annual University Studies Orientation Day (USOD) was provided courtesy of the company. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
    • This from Greek City Times (which, in my opinion, fails as a WP:RS) is a review of a different Greek restaurant and includes this company in a list of 6 alternative Greek restaurants. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH
    • This from the Restaurant News magazine (page 14) is entirely based on an interview with George Raios, the company's founder, president and CEO and contains no "Independent Content". Fails WP:ORGIND.
    • This from CBC is about the attempts to rejuvinate the Burlington Mall and says that "Blaze Pizza, burger joint Five Guys and Mr. Greek are slated to move in as part of the new look." Fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
    • This information flyer for attendees of a SF convention in 2003 to provide information on visitors on available amenities states that there are several Greek food chain restaurants "with Mr Greek being the commonest". Fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
    • This from Canadian Immigrant magazine contains some interviews with various people who immigrated to Canada. One of the people bought a Mr. Greek Express franchise. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND
    • This from The Star lists the top 10 most-ticketed places in Toronto. At number 10 is a place near a Mr. Greek restaurant. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH
    • This from The Star is a review of a newly opened Mr. Greek restaurant and all of the information on the company is provided by Mr. Raios (the founder, president and CEO of the company). Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND

Not a single reference meets the criteria for establishing notability. Most are mere mentions-in-passing and the others are entirely based on interviews with Mr. Raios. None are significant. HighKing⁺⁺ 18:02, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know where you're from but here in Canada you can't find any Greek Canadian who doesn't know about Mr.Greek. The reputation precedes itself. The TorontoSun article congratulating Mr.Greek on 22 consecutive years of readers choice awards is anything but the company sponsoring itself. I know that here in Nova Scotia ppl come from around the world just to visit John's Lunch. why ? Because it has won so many local 'choice awards' mostly from TheCoast publication. Just because you use in my opinion doesn't necessarily make it so. keep that in mind.Grmike (talk) 20:12, 28 April 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]

I gave you high quality links, in-depth coverage, notability (awards, accolades in national greek publications), and even a connection to the 2010 winter Olympics torch. you're not going to find perfection in every link, but together the links paint a picture. in this case it's keep.Grmike (talk) 20:20, 28 April 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]

a legit link for con fans visiting from SF calls Mr.Greek the commonest greek chain in Toronto. you throw the entire link out bc even though it acknowledges Mr.Greek's overwhelming presence at the time, it doesn't go on to talk about where they get their meat from, why they choose to mention it specifically and not any other establishment ? there's a saying that goes throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

This from Toronto Life the first greek restaurant to open in Kuwait then UAE is not the company promoting itself. World Domination - by Carolyn youdan - no connection to mr greek. it is a Toronto first and Canadian first and greek first to have one of 'their own' making strides outside the country. Carolyn youdan chose to title it "next up for Ontario's mr. greek : world domination" not mr. greek.Grmike (talk) 20:39, 28 April 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]

This book entitled "Official Gazette of the United States Patent and Trademark Office" that link is not in-depth coverage but it does help to establish notability.

This from Canadian Business Franchise and also this are interviews with entrepreneurs period. entrepreneurs who tried other things and had no success. the article is 5 pages long and goes into depth about the ups and downs of running his own business. The rigorous work ethic he acquired early on, the struggles implementing new procedures, the history behind the business, he was there since the franchise was 4 years old - it is 32 years old today. the source easily passes WP:CORPDEPTH and may even pass WP:ORGIND. there's a point at which life experience becomes independent of the things around it.Grmike (talk) 21:00, 28 April 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]

You appear to not be familiar with your policies and guidelines and you are pushing your own opinion and synthesising "notability" requirements. Please read WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH as a minimum since most of the references you list fail on one or both of these guidelines. No harm to look up WP:NOR either and especially WP:SYN.

comment - for the financial post, Canada's national newspaper, to use mr. greek as an example in an article discussing a $24 billion industry, without making mention of any other fast casual restaurant, is quite a feat.Grmike (talk) 11:35, 29 April 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]

Re Financial Post, they are only mentioned once briefly in the whole article. "At licensed fast-casual restaurant chains such as Mr. Greek, patrons typically dine inside." It's pretty ludicrous your saying the article should be kept because an article mentions that people can dine inside their restaurant. Seriously. The Financial Post being a national newspaper doesn't have jack to do with it. It's not notability by association. Btw, it's also lame to put random words in bold. It doesn't help your argument any and it's pretty obnoxious. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:47, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IMO it establishes notability. you're not always going to find indepth coverage of a low-importance subject in a national newspaper. it was used as an example for a $24 billion growing sector of the industry. stop being facecious. there are other sources given, none are pristine sources but each has elements of what is required for notability.Grmike (talk) 11:54, 29 April 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]

For 22 years in a row it was named best greek restaurant in Toronto, a city which has one of the world's 8 largest Greek diaspora communities.

• Keep WP:MILL is just an essay not a policy and the nomination's other points are equally weak. This is a substantial international restaurant chain, there are plenty of sources supporting this fact and so the topic is notable. Andrew🐉(talk) 22:44, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Plenty of sources" you say? Name one, any one, that meets the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:52, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep (already voted see above the line for details) - for the same reasons I gave above. The chain of restaurants have notability outside the local community and within the Greek community at large. It's longstanding and well known nationally. Active in the Greek community (founder is board member of the Hellenic Canadian association, make a wish foundation partnership). The passing mention it receives in the Financial Post implies notability as only Mr.Greek is used to represent the $24 billion fast casual industry. A 1995 feature article in the newspaper written by independent source Edwin Mercurio of the Original Bay News - Pickering slide 9 of 36 stated among other things ..solid reputation of the restaurant chain which reaches across Canada and the Koras' family's own well-established name in the restaurant business. it's indepth, independent, and at the time (1995) a significant source (pickering newspaper), so the company was well established even 25 years ago.Grmike (talk) 17:53, 5 May 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]

• Keep: I think the Toronto Life article is a decent source. Only two paragraphs and it does contain two quotes from the company's press release, but it's obvious that it's an independent article because it criticizes the restaurant's food: "Canada's list of cultural exports gets even more random with this latest addition: passable souvlaki." I think that the nominator's claim that "the contents rely entirely on information provided by the company" implies that any article that includes a quote from the CEO can't be independent; any article about a company, no matter how in-depth and independent, will probably include a quote from someone at the company. The two articles that are based on those quotes (one negative, one positive) are both independent and specifically about the company, not passing mentions in an article about something else. — Toughpigs (talk) 14:26, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Toughpigs, nope, that isn't what the nominator (me) means. When I say that a reference relies entirely on information provided by the company (or something similar), is it usually for the reason you've stated above - but let me tease out the precise reasons. What I mean is that there is no information contained in the article *about the company* that is in-depth and [[WP:SIGCOV|significant}. In this article, the opinion on whether the souvlaki is passable or not has no bearing on whether the *company* meets the criteria for notability. WP:ORGIND also comes into play as it states Too often a related party produces a narrative that is then copied, regurgitated, and published in whole or in part by independent parties (as exemplified by churnalism) - so even if a reference doesn't explicitly use quotates/interviews but bases its article on a PR announcement or other company announcement, it also fails the criteria for establishing notability. ORGIND also states that the references must contain "Independent Content" .. that is, content which contains original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking *about the company* that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. The policies and guidelines are tough (for good reason) on companies/organizations and that is why an emphasis is placed specifically on references containing Independent Content. Can you take another look at your !vote? HighKing⁺⁺ 21:02, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • I believe that the nominator is determined to nitpick every source out of existence. I also notice that the nominator has posted five times on this page in addition to the nomination itself, attempting to rebut everyone that disagrees. The essay WP:BLUDGEON describes this style of behavior: "Typically, the person replies to almost every !vote or comment, arguing against that particular person's point of view. The person attempts to pick apart each argument with the goal of getting each person to change their !vote." That is exactly what is happening here, including the request to change my !vote. The essay goes on to say, "When someone takes persistence to a level that overwhelms or intimidates others, or limits others' ability to interject their opinions without worrying about being verbally attacked, then this activity has risen to a level of abuse. This can be considered an act of bad faith as the purpose is to win at any cost." I encourage the nominator to take a step back, let other people look at the article and the sources, and make their own judgment. — Toughpigs (talk) 21:30, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • comment - I agree... with toughpigs.Grmike (talk) 23:58, 9 May 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]
• Delete - I generally agree with HighKing's analysis of the sources; most of them are not useful for establishing notability. I think the The Star article and the Toronto Life article come the closest and provide some useful information towards notability. I think this is a case of WP:TOOSOON; if this company went out of business tomorrow and completely disappeared, would they be notable in the sense of meriting an encyclopedia entry? I'm not convinced that the answer to that is yes. I could vaguely predict that I think the company will probably meet the notability guidelines given time, but the article shouldn't exist until that time when it does become notable. (This is a separate issue, but) even if the subject were presently notable, a lot of the coverage on the page is WP:UNDUE; if the page is kept, it needs some trimming.

@Grmike: It's not about waiting for time to pass. It's about waiting for the subject to become more notable by receiving more coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. WP:TOOSOON is not actually about waiting for time to pass; it's about waiting to see if the subject actually becomes notable or not because it is too difficult to tell at the present time whether that will happen. Ikjbagl (talk) 23:07, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AMOUNT is of relevance here. A weed in the crack in the sidewalk in front of someone's house that receives a full page write up in Washington Post and Los Angeles Times is more notable than the largest and oldest organic chocolate pretzel factory in the world that receives only local coverage and a passing mention in national press.

• Delete Every bit of trivial mentions and insignificant coverage can be used to support a statement or augment the details within the article when there's proper references that meet all the criteria of WP:NCORP to establish the foundation to build on. You can round up all the beef trimmings but when you're expected to present a pound slab of high grade steak, the trimmings will never satisfy that. It's not being the first, being in business for a long time or the attributes expressed by an editor here that drives notability. It is the high level of notice and deep coverage by general interest, high circulation media coverage (see WP:AUD ) that is heavily weighed in notability determination.

Fails WP:NCORP as none of the sources are significant, independent and reliable. The vast majority are merely passing references (many do not even mention the name Insigniam at all). What appears to be a source that has significant coverage [49] is Sponsored Content/Branded content as evidenced by an Insigniam advertisement on the first content page, and the editor's welcome on the second page "Welcome to Leadership Principles: A Development Resource, a special edition of the HBAdvantage, the magazine of the HBA. The HBA, in conjunction with Insigniam and our other corporate sponsors and volunteers, is pleased to offer this publication with inspiring and practical leadership information to further your advancement in healthcare." This explicitly identified Insigniam as a corporate sponsor of the 15 page "special edition" of this industry magazine, which explains why half of the pages feature glowing promotional language about the company.

WP:BLP of a television journalist, not making any strong or properly sourced claim to passing our notability standards for journalists. As always, journalists are not automatically entitled to have articles just because they have jobs -- they need to show evidence of distinctions, such as major journalism awards and/or sufficient reliable source coverage about them in media to clear WP:GNG. But as usual for bad articles about journalists, this is written more like somebody just tried to do a thinly veiled rewrite of her staff profile from a past or present employer, and is "referenced" solely to her own self-published website about herself -- and while there are a couple of real media links being linkfarmed in the external links section instead of being properly cited as footnotes for article content, they're all just short blurbs that are doing very little to actually get her over GNG. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have significantly better sources than this, and furthermore the article has been flagged for sourcing problems since 2008 without ever seeing any discernible improvement in its referencing.

While the first episode of the show covered art and fashion in Paris, the second one delved into the legacy of guitar legend Les Paul, and the third one looks into the advertising. “We are not only focusing on established icons,” explains the veteran news anchor, who counts Mikhail Gorbachev, Tom Ford and IM Pei among her top interviews. “We are also covering people, places, or things that have the potential to be iconic.” Savin, Monique (2011-02-06).

The article notes: Prominent Sikh Canadians include former federal Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh and journalist Monita Rajpal (a CNN news anchor, based at the network's London office).

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Monita Rajpal to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  Cunard (talk) 11:30, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Monita Rajpal worked for CNN International between 2001 and 2014 in Atlanta, London, and Hong Kong.

  At CNN, she interviewed Ehud Barak, a former Prime Minister of Israel; Andrés Pastrana Arango, the then-President of Colombia; and Moses Blah, who had just taken office as President of Liberia. She also interviewed Mikhail Gorbachev, Vicente Fox, Al Gore, Tom Ford, and I. M. Pei.

  She has received substantial coverage in the Bangkok Post, the Press Trust of India, The Economic Times, the National Post, TRNTO, and The Hindu.

Contested PROD. UPE, and borderline speedy deletion material. No claim to notability in the article, and the four sources are three copies of the same press release, published and superficially rephrased in three different places, and a short promotion piece. I have not found any secondary sources, and the fact that the last reference was published a few hours before it was added to the article indicates that there are no better sources – they are adding everything they can, and it's all promotional and self-published. bonadea contributions talk 08:23, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of fancruft related to a Filipina singer. Of the several dozen entries in the various lists in the article, a huge chunk is poorly sourced or exaggeration i.e. World Music Awards only having won one. There have been previous attempts to correct but has just been reverted. Some of which seems to be of dubious quality and the inclusion of multiple awards which are non-notable. Formatting of this list seems to be another major concern.

• That looks like all cleanup issues to me. What awards these lists should include is a matter for discussion, not deletion. A good percentage of the awards listed here have their own articles, and if the awards are notable then award recipients are necessarily verifiable. Present lack of sourcing is not a deletion argument. postdlf (talk) 21:47, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• KEEP The history of the article doesn't show any "previous attempts to correct", nor has anything been "reverted" since 4 March 2018‎ and that was something minor. No discussion on the talk page either. If an award is notable, it should be listed here. If anything isn't, then discuss it and remove it. I don't see how this is any different than any of the other spinout articles for actors or musicians listing their awards won.

• Comment: While admitting that I am not in the best position to assess this article, it seems as though deletion is probably reasonable—however, I would love to here people's thoughts on the non-English sources before I officially vote. Here is one English source, though it doesn't look to be a particularly reliable source: http://m.thedailynewnation.com/news/205055/tamanna-not-to-return-country-this-month. As an aside, I don't believe that the article is written in a promotional style, although that could be easily fixed, anyway. Dflaw4 (talk) 12:20, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comments: I didn't see obvious promo. I see a terrible article but that is not grounds for deletion. There may be some confusion. The article states "She made her debut in Dhallywood with Tyajyoputro". this source states "Tamanna made her film debut with the late Shahidul Islam Khokon's 'Bhand'." -- Otr500 (talk) 02:23, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

Fails GNG. At the time of nomination the article has five sources:

• the first is used to cite a sentence about a completely different breed, the Chinese Crested Dog
• the second is used to provide a translation for the word “Pila”, meaning hairless or naked
• the third is an unverifiable book that is only used cite a number of dogs at a 2008 Argentine dog show, further a search of a number of ISBN search engines fails to find the work
• the forth an archived link to a dead page of an obscure Argentine dog breed association, the Asociación Canina Argentina, the official national kennel club of Argentina is the Federación Cinológica Argentina
• the fifth not only fails as RS but does not even mention these dogs.

• Delete. The name appears once on Google scholar here, with the name appearing once in that article with no further elaboration. The name appeares in Google books Xoloitzcuintli with the article stating that this dog first appeared in Argentina in the 1950s and implies that it is an imported Xoloitzcuintli but without actually saying that. Fails notability in my opinion: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail....is more than a trivial mention, William Harristalk 09:36, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Substantially more coverage exists in Spanish than in English, which is unsurprising for a local breed in a Spanish-speaking country, especially considering that this is a breed "in danger of extinction" (en peligro de extinción, first source linked below). The article on Spanish Wikipedia was a useful starting point for finding sources and coverage. I found a press release from the Argentine Canine Association announcing their official recognition of the breed and laying out the criteria of its breed standard. The Argentine Kennel Club, a member of the Pan-American Kennel Union, describes the perro pila as an "native Argentine breed". There is an article about the perro pila from La Gaceta Salta. In a publication by the La Plata National University there is a full page about the perro pila. There are a number of other results as well. Significant coverage clearly exists to sail past the GNG and justify the breed having its own article. CJK09 (talk) 18:14, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
