George Street tram stop (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Train stations are not automatically notable and need to meet WP:GNG. This individual tram stop which is simply a raised piece of concrete where trams stop does not meet WP:GNG. Both sources are primary and do not establish notability. AusLondonder (talk) 15:33, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, tricky one. I agree that "a raised piece of concrete" appears not to be notable. However I see from the Tramlink article that every stop on the system has a blue link. Are we proposing to delete all of these? I would also imagine that there are many railway stations (or "halts") around the world which have minimal infrastructure, but nevertheless have their own article. To give an example, the tram stops listed in List of Manx Electric Railway stations each have their own article, despite having minimal infrastructure and much less traffic than the Croydon Tramlink (and the Manx rolling stock being more flimsy than that in Croydon). Ehrenkater (talk) 15:47, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OSE. If you find other non-notable articles, please nominate them for deletion. Please assess this AfD on its own merits. If this AfD results in a consensus to delete/redirect then we can do that for other non-notable Croydon stops. AusLondonder (talk) 16:22, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Manx Electric Railway has been around a century longer than Tramlink, so there are plenty of books about the history of the system that are used as sources in the articles about it. I suspect it'll take a few more decades for Tramlink to be in that situation... Adam Sampson (talk) 17:05, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Then you should be voting for Merge or Redirect (and you can do so with the stated intent of pending the result of that other discussion), not vote Keep without actually presenting a Keep argument for notability of the subject matter. SilverserenC 23:57, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Exactly. Hopefully closing admin will disregard keep votes without valid rationale. The clear community-wide consensus is that rail infrastructure must meet GNG. AusLondonder (talk) 06:26, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I should not be !voting for something different to what I believe to be the best outcome for readers of the encyclopaedia: That keeping these articles in their present state until the outcome of such a discussion concludes how best to present information on this set of closely related subjects. Recommending merge or redirect implies a preference for redirection or merging somewhere now and then possibly demerged or merged elsewhere after the discussion concludes. That would be significantly more disruptive for everyone, possibly more work for editors, and bring no benefits to readers. Thryduulf (talk) 09:24, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I can't find any indication of notability from available sources. I hope someone can present some at some point, but none are evident currently. The closer should remember that AfD discussions are about determining notability of a subject matter and not about discussions of Merging or Redirecting (though those can be outcomes of AfD discussions). Thus, any Keep votes that don't make an actual argument of notability on policy grounds needs be disregarded when determining the outcome of the AfD. SilverserenC 23:59, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect. It's a plausible search term so deletion should be off the table and I'm disappointed to see this here rather than a broader discussion about these articles as a group. Nonetheless, although the system is clearly notable and some stops on it may be, the majority do not appear to have significant third-party coverage so a list of stops is preferable. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:45, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have struck my comment. Based on the discussion with the nominator below, it is clear that this is a bad-faith nomination in an attempt to "win" an argument elsewhere and not one genuinely concerned with assessing the notability (or otherwise) of the subject. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:26, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @HJ Mitchell: I'm really surprised and disappointed by you casting aspersions on me. You are absolutely wrong. I have no objection to a broader discussion although I'm frankly not convinced the London transport project is the best place for an unbiased review. AusLondonder (talk) 08:56, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I assumed a lot of good faith in the discussion at WT:N and the early stages of this discussion because I thought we were working towards a shared goal, assessing the notability of these tram stops and deciding what to do with the articles if the GNG is not met—not getting rid of them by whatever means necessary, including nominating an article that will at worst be merged or redirected at Articles for Deletion. The London Transport project seems like the best place to find editors who may have sources. So far, none containing significant coverage of individual stops have been found so the discussion is moving on to the mechanics of redirecting, so the result is likely to be more-or-less the same but without wasting everyone's time with 30-something AfDs and after looking for sources. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:19, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the article on the broader system. Does not appear notable on its own. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:36, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now Coverage wise there is some from this book about the tram system Croydon Tramlink.
It is likely not enough for straight GNG pass, but I'm voting keeping mainly as I agree with the other keep voters that removing a single article with no plans on how to deal with the rest of the system causes more problems than it solves, as it ends up no one does the work of cleaning up the other articles and we have a navigational & consistency gap. I note that a bundled AfD does not have to be a "review every station or do nothing", it is perfectly fine to evaluate sections of the system at a time (looking at the map, one good starting "set" could be the stations from Lloyd Park to New Addington). If I was voting on a bundled AfD I would of voted to make a listicle instead of keeping.
That aside, if one of the delete !voters volunteers to complete the job of evaluating the rest of the stations and making changes as needed then feel free to automatically convert my vote to Merge to List of Tramlink stops (with redirect to Tramlink as interm target) Jumpytoo Talk 01:22, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We have to start somewhere. We can't keep saying "yes, I know it fails every notability requirement but keep because we have hundreds of other articles that also fail those requirements". That's not a serious argument. AusLondonder (talk) 06:34, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AusLondonder so let's have a discussion about the articles as a group. I agree with you that it's likely we'll end up merging/redurecting the majority of them but surely it makes more sense to do it from one central discussion than relitigating the same question 39 times? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:46, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't do a group nomination because those often become unmanageable disasters. I was also keeping in mind that at Wikipedia talk:Notability several editors have claimed that some tram stops may be notable and that each team stop should be assessed individually. AusLondonder (talk) 16:42, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That seems like circular reasoning to me (something you've been quick to accuse others of), and a deliberate misrepresentation of what has actually been said at WT:N. That's very disappointing. I was hoping for a good-faith discussion that would critically evaluate these articles and that the result would be apparent from that evaluation, not for a discussion where one editor tries to force through their preferred decision based on a subjective opinion of importance. I guess I'll go and start that discussion somewhere and follow it where it leads; I want no further part of this AfD. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:24, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why are you so angry? I was literally told that some tram stops are notable and others are not, which I accepted in good faith. From the discussion at WT:N Tram stops are more complicated than railway stations - some are notable, some aren't and they need to be assessed individually. These comments were explicitly agreed with by several editors. How on earth am I misrepresenting that? AusLondonder (talk) 08:59, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is a valid argument, per WP:OSE: It would be ridiculous to consider deleting an article on Yoda or Mace Windu, for instance. If someone were, as part of their reasoning for keep, to say that every other main character in Star Wars has an article, this may well be a valid point and In categories of items with a finite number of entries where most are notable, it serves no useful purpose to endlessly argue over the notability of a minority of these items. If you want to pierce the argument I am currently making, there needs to at the very least a promise to do such evaluation to show that what OSE allows is not the case. Jumpytoo Talk 17:59, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OSE is an essay. It has exactly zero policy weight in any deletion discussion. Especially when you ignore the entire rest of the OSE section to cherry-pick something that has little relevance to what is being discussed. We are explicitly not discussing something that has clear notability for the vast majority of members. That is specifically something that has not been showcased or presented in any manner. In fact, the notability of really any tram stop has not been presented, let alone the majority of them. SilverserenC 18:07, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. This AfD is for this particular topic's suitability as a standalone. Local consensuses at wikiprojects do not override P&Gs, and the broader question of "how to treat the Croydon Tramlink stops" is totally irrelevant to whether this stop meets notability guidelines. Any pseudo-navigational purpose of this article is fulfilled with a redirect to Tramlink#Routes so it doesn't even sound like a "discussion" about Croydon Tramlink stops would offer a single reason to retain any of these articles anyway. JoelleJay (talk) 23:19, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
is simply a raised piece of concrete where trams stop is harsh and uncollaborative. Cremastra (talk) 00:37, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm so sorry the feelings of the poor defenseless tram stop were so hurt by calling it what it is. But perhaps considering things a little more impersonally would be appropriate for an encyclopedia. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:46, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Available sources do not prove notability for this individual tram stop, so a separate article is not needed - hence I'm not recommending keep. A redirect to a List of Tramlink stops article would be my preferred solution but if and until one is created, a redirect to the line is a valid AtD. Rupples (talk) 23:19, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I don't see the 2023 RfC as preventing this AfD from continuing. And Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gravel Hill tram stop had less participation than this AfD already has, so it can certainly not be used as precedent-setting to overrule this one.

Fails WP:NCORP. Sources on the page and in a WP:BEFORE do not meet WP:ORGCRIT. With only two locations I am unsure if press outside the local area could be found. CNMall41 (talk) 23:08, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Andrevan:, sorry, just seeing your comment now or would have pinged you earlier. The two you cited from The Register Mail are both about two local stores closing. In fact, they are basically the same (one from the employee perspective and one from the customer perspective). Neither meet WP:CORPDEPTH for the chain itself. The other two are business listings. Are there any references out there you found that meet WP:ORGCRIT?--CNMall41 (talk) 06:34, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While I agree those sources might not meet a stricter standard, I think it meets GNG, along with the other local news already in the article, and I'm not sure that merging with Nash Finch or SpartanNash is necessary, but I can't see a full-scale delete beyond that merger, and I think other times when companies have been merged it's muddled up the history in a confusing way that could be resolved by treating as separate articles. A regional grocery chain with not a lot of stores can be notable with sourcing that describes it with a bit of narrative as these local stories do, through a local lens, but aren't ROUTINE or press releases. They describe the acquisition of the chain by Nash Finch. “When Nash-Finch came in, I was working in Monmouth. It was my day off and I got the call at home,” Cecil said. He said he started to suffer from burnout as Nash-Finch “dictated” ways of doing business that he didn’t agree with, such as selling select, rather than choice beef. “I was told they were doing less than half the business we were doing in ’98,” Cecil said of Econofoods when it closed. “It didn’t have to happen.” An unlikely place for business analysis perhaps, but there you go. The other one talks about consolidation in the market. This is corroborated by the business almanacs and Moody's listings and other stuff that come up on a Google Books search. As I said, I think it meets GNG, and I think more data could be found in Newspapers.com which has over 20,000 results in Iowa, but I'm at a keep because I believe GNG-level sourcing exists and more could be found for an article here.

  • Comment/question It looks to me like the TimesLive and Sunday World articles are substantial. From what I can learn on the sites themselves, both seem to have suitable stature in their markets.

The TimesLive one looks like an interview containing several quotes by him, copied verbatim, which make the majority of the article along with an image supplied by him. The Sundayworld is another similar type of thing. They have use him image from instagram. It may better but I don't know, hence this Afd.

  • Forensics since a simple incision seems not to be enough. We have & found:
Simple, typical, unexceptional announcements of a new hip hop release in a hip hop website, such as this in The Source, e.g. "new single and album are available on all digital streaming platforms. Check out latest single below," etc; the LA Weekly reproducing here a press release put together by our subject's PR; TshisAlive, the promotional branch of the South African Sunday Times putting out advertorials about every little thing concerning their artist, e.g. here about a beef with Ticketpro, here about philanthropy plans, etc; a lot of items about the one truly notable event in our subject's career, i.e. the "Burna Boy debacle," e.g. here, all doused by a strong sprinkle of promotion; assorted dead links; and that's it.

Reviewed during NPP. No evidence of notability under GNG or SNG. A vague term invented by a company for something that it does. The references have a bit on the company (most of them just passing along self-published material) and the leader, but there is no coverage much less the required in-depth coverage on what this actual is.

Not notable either per WP:NACTOR or WP:SINGER. An earlier version of the article falsely claimed that he has received the State Nihol Award.

  • Keep. I can't access the newspaper archive I typically use to go though Swedish sources right now, but I think a couple of the ones I've added are substantial enough (a couple of the others help add sources for individual poins, but are less important for notability).

  • Keep I'm similarly disadvantaged rn, but essentially in agreement with Julle's analysis. Open print media archives show sustained interest throughout the 80s, 90s and 2010s, most of it is likely brief mentions, but I'm convinced from what I've personally read and seen over the years that there is independent and in-depth coverage in substantial excess to what Julle has already provided.

Subject fails notability guidelines and article reads with significant WP:FLUFF. The majority of sources constitute self-published material on the subject's blog or secondary sources based significantly on said blog. Additional sources used appear notable at first, such as this MIT reference, but a look at the url (which includes /egilbert/) identifies this as also being written by the subject. There are one or two interviews the subject has done with reliable sources, but these read similarly to the blog.

I realize that the article was nominated for deletion before. However, significant and in-depth coverage in reliable sources about the so-called "Macedonian mafia" is lacking. The only academic source I've encountered that mentions the Macedonian mafia is Social Change, Gender and Violence: Post-communist and war affected societies. It is true that there are criminal groups in North Macedonia (as well as Macedonian criminals abroad) but I have not seen any sources classify them as part of a broader body, so the whole premise for the article is based on original research.

  • Delete - Searches come up with some passing mentions, including a couple of mentions in books by people educated there ([14] and [15]). These certainly do not meet SIGCOV. There is very little else. Almost no newspaper coverage. Passing mention in a few papers, such as [16], but again, no SIGCOV. Google turns up a little more, but then the information is not independent and primary. The school website is the best source of information, and has quite a detailed history [17] but this is primary and not independent. It can't count towards GNG. What we do learn from the web page is that the role is about 300 children from nursery to A level. This, then, is a relatively young school - over 30 years old but that is still not that old for a school, and it is a very small one. As a rule of thumb I would not expect a school of this size and age to be notable without some significant and particular factors (famous events, documentary, famous students, notable founding etc.) I see no evidence of any such, and what I have found does not meet GNG. Although I would usually suggest a redirect for a school, non notable Port Harcourt schools have no suitable redirect target. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:09, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT. Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary in nature since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis. The event does not have in-depth nor sustained continued coverage with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the accident. No lasting effects or long-term impacts on a significant region have been demonstrated. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks.

Fails WP BIO; depth ot the sources is not enough for proving the notability; general notability fails here; dependent or primary sources do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.

Oblivy (talk) 11:58, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I didn't say she inherits notability from Red Hill. I'm saying that the sources in the assessment above show a GNG pass, and that her involvement in Red Hill (additional sources, not in article, here: Stars and Stripes, Honolulu Civil Beat, Hawaii News Now, KITV, Honolulu Star-Advertiser, KHON) demonstrates that she is not only notable for the mold-related case. If we had just the Red Hill case to go on, I'd agree with you that it's not enough SIGCOV. But we have SIGCOV in reliable sources for the mold-related lawsuit, plus solid reliable-source coverage for another case, and that takes us beyond BLP1E. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:29, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think what you are making is an inherited argument. She is mentioned as the lawyer for the Red Hill case, and nothing in the sources you cited is about her separate from her role in that case. Her role can be discussed at that page. Again, I truly respect your attempt to find sources, but I'm confident in my view. Oblivy (talk) 01:00, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is some random part from the text: And that house, Kristina Baehr said, was slowly killing them. The family abandoned it and everything inside to escape the mold. All of their clothing, toys and personal belongings — even the family Bible — are a total loss. They also remain on a strict regimen of medications and therapies to detoxify their bodies.

On the financial side, the mold nightmare has wiped out the family’s savings, Evan Baehr said. He estimated they’ve spent more than a million dollars on demolition, repair and reconstruction, along with relocation costs, medical copays and out-of-pocket treatment expenses.

“You’ve done everything that you can to prepare to take care of your family financially — and then suddenly a year later, and it’s all gone,” said he Baehr.

The family has filed litigation against the companies that designed and constructed their home as they look to recoup their losses. Kristina said it’s been a long and arduous legal process, but she believes it will be worth it.

“I’m going to go to the ends of the earth and back to get recovery so that our kids can be safe going forward and so that we can rebuild their lives and have the resources to provide for their medical care,” Kristina Baehr said.--Shinsi Bohansetr (talk) 07:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not convinced any of this content is worth merging. We already have articles on death, life after death and near-death experience which cover such content. Psychologist Guy (talk) 10:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: this concept exists in a few religious and cultural traditions, but it’s actually already handled in those contexts in more appropriate pages. I don’t think this is synonymous with life after death in the sense that article means it, because I’m more familiar with it referring to the idea that, despite no vital signs, the dead can still hear (rather than being in some kind of afterlife) but that’s such a fine nuance that the redirect probably is better than any other option.

Being the director general of NITDA isn't enough to demonstrate notability. I've removed some fluff, but I've checked a few more misleading cites, and just concluded this is probably some paid article full of soft mentions, and doesn't pass the strict test for a WP:BLP article. Instead it is a resume. Dennis Brown - 07:14, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that NPOL specifically says he should not be as it isn't a top level position. Not every appointee (or elected position) automatically passes the bar of WP:BLP/WP:N. I would also note the language in NPOL: "are presumed to be notable" but it doesn't relieve them of the obligation in WP:GNG to have significant coverage in reliable sources. If the position was that important, it would be trivial to find sigcov in WP:RS, but that isn't the case. "Presumption" isn't a guarantee, it just means that it is likely you will find sources.

The book is not notable in any way. For a long time (2001-2021), this article existed without references of any kind. It currently holds the record for the longest such article on the English Wikipedia, which is interesting, but isn't enough to make it notable (per this discussion). Of the two references that were then added, I have just removed one as circular, apparently based on this Wikipedia article, as are most of the handful of sources that one finds on Google.

Fails WP:NCORP with a lack of significant coverage. Created by a blocked user. I would argue the previous AfD of this article was withdrawn in error, as the supposed sources given were of the company's products, not the company itself. Notability cannot be inherited from products a company makes.

Possible ATD target could be Corsair due to the recent merge. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 05:26, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, move to Fanatec as best alternative. The idea that "Notability cannot be inherited from products a company makes" leads to the absurd conclusions at AFD that "List of X products" would be notable but "X" would not, even when the article is substantially about X products. In any case, I maintain that Fanatec as a line of products passes WP:NPRODUCT. ~ A412 talk! 17:08, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, WP:LISTN would imply that a list of products from a company that is not notable, would also be non-notable. In other words, only the individual products by the company Fanatec may be notable. The article Fanatec Forza Motorsport CSR Wheel would be indisputably notable if it was created ([24] [25] [26] [27]). The company - not so much. This notability of products over developers is rather common in video games too. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 17:27, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Fanatec. Endor AG as a parent company is not notable, but Fanatec certainly is (Google News). No, it's not mentioned in the New York Times, but not everything has to be.

  • redirect to Divide County, North Dakota#Townships. We do not keep township articles in every state because their importance varies wildly. For example, in North Carolina they were enacted and then almost immediately ignored. I get the impression that in ND they have some function with land use/zoning matters, but they otherwise do not appear to provide any of the other aspects of local government; I could not find anything that outlined what their powers are but I found a state land use form requiring a township officer signature. Be that as it may, I note that the list of officers in the state website gives the names of three people living at the same address which indeed is within the township, and if you believe the census, those same three people are the only people living in the township! It's easy but meaningless to hold an election when the only people who can vote are the officials (and I note that of the other three listed, one lives elsewhere in the county and the second lives in another county; the third has no address provided). I'm also quite dubious that location of the eponymous monument is a point of notability for the township; I had to verify it with a map. The fact that such a large percentage of the townships lack officials indicates their relative lack of importance, and when it comes down to it, it appears all that we can give for them as a rule is geography and populations, which can be served well enough with a map and a table, respectively, in the county article.
As far as ND township articles as a group, it doesn't look as though a great many have been created. One or two users started mass-adding them but did not get far. I found this stale user page for example which for the first county has a reasonable idea for a county table structure. And it contains most of what one would put in an article, so I'm not seeing the need for individual articles. Mangoe (talk) 23:42, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(North Carolina and North Dakota are not the same state.) Would seem that the name of the Writing Rock monument likely lends its name to the township, and is an important piece of history located within it.Djflem (talk) 17:32, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I an aware of which state is which, and if you think I confused them, you need to reread the passage. Yes, "it would seem", but that doesn't give the township any notability, and never mind that I have come across no source for that belief. The point is, townships are not necessarily that important in the state scheme of things, and they range from non-existent (Maryland) to vestigial (NC) to possibly more important than counties (NJ). What I'm seeing in ND is that they appear to be of minimal importance, especially given that around half of them have no governance and appear to be just lines on a map. Indeed, the very difficulty of finding out why they exist and what function they serve is an indicator that as individual bodies they are probably no more than minor administrative divisions. Mangoe (talk) 12:26, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:GEOLAND as it is a populated, legally recognized place and there is enough in-depth historical information about Writing Rock Township specifically in books such as Stories and Histories of Divide County (1964) – the main section about the township is on p. 454 but there are also other pages discussing various aspects of its history. In addition, as others have mentioned, the township is the location of Writing Rock State Historical Site, which makes it distinctive. Newspapers.com turns up obituaries about people who were born in or homesteaded in Writing Rock Township; a five-year-old girl who was killed by a horse in 1960; a farmer who threatened his neighbors with a rifle and tried to kill himself when approached by police in 1920 – even if none of this is worth mentioning in the article, it demonstrates that it was a real place where people lived (and not "just" a directory listing). (Of those clippings the most interesting one is the Bismarck Tribune article about how the 1928 election returns for Writing Rock Township were not counted by the North Dakota secretary of state because the automobile transporting them was destroyed by fire on its way to Crosby.)

Redirect to List of brown dwarfs This article fails WP:NASTRO, I did WP:BEFORE and there are only three academic sources but none have anything notable about this object that would satisfy WP:NASTRO. If anyone finds material for this article please ping me, I'll add it to the article and withdraw the nomination. Dr vulpes (Talk) 00:59, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no WP:SIGCOV of this sailboat and thus it fails WP:GNG. PROD was contested. Would support redirection to IMOCA 60. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:56, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, its common practice that every IMOCA 60 has its own page, like the french wikipedia (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiatives-C%C5%93ur_4). The importance is given by the Vendée Globe starting only in about two months. Give me some time to bring the article up to speed. V.Glas (talk) 19:19, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@V.Glas You created the page This page was created in November 2023 and it has had no independent, reliable, secondary sources since then. That seems like plenty of time to find them and "bring the article up to speed." (I don't believe they exist, since I searched for them WP:BEFORE nominating.) As for your argument that "it's common practice," that's an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument that does not rely on any actual guidelines, and we follow English Wikipedia guidelines here. What is your policy-based reason for keeping this article? One alternative, if you believe sources will be available after the Vendee Globe, is to draftify this article, which is the appropriate place for it if you're still working on finding sources. Let me know what you think. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:32, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, I did not create the page. That was @Yachty4000. If you are looking for sources or notability, take the French article as reference. I already translated and added some parts. V.Glas (talk) 20:13, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for my misstatement and have struck it above. Regardless there is now a week for sufficient sources to be identified. As I said, I didn’t find any that fit the bill (and I looked in French as well). But if you find some and they do meet the standards of WP:SIGCOV in WP:SIRS I will withdraw the nomination.

  • Comment: V.Glas has added several sources. Five of them are to the IMOCA website and thus not independent. Three ([30], [31], [32]) are WP:INTERVIEWS with the boat's skipper and thus primary sources. One ([33]) is a WP:TRIVIALMENTION in an article about several boats being built for the Vendee Globe. One ([34]) appears to be a publicity piece. Two ([35], [36]) do not mention the Initiative Coeur 4 at all. One ([37]) appears to be self-published. And finally, one ([38]) is a brief mention amid WP:ROUTINE race coverage. In short, I still don't see any SIGCOV in secondary, independent, reliable sources.

Subject of article is not notable, sources cited show that they were sent to jail for a contempt of court charge and a misdemeanor picketing charge. Article is very WP:PROMO and not WP:NPOV. I did WP:BEFORE and he mentioned briefly in a three books one of them is a published that only publishes material on veganism and animal rights. The mentions were not in-depth from what I could tell. There is a section about his writing but none of the material would qualify under WP:NAUTHOR Dr vulpes (Talk) 00:48, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also article was PRODed so that's why I brought it here to AfD. Dr vulpes (Talk) 00:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AnimalRightsArchivist if you think there are some materials that are offline that would be helpful we could also send this article to draft which would give you some time to gather everything needed. For example I use the Internet Archive for a lot of sourcing but it's been offline for a few days, but you also might know of sources in magazines or books that aren't available online. I know that some of the books I noticed his name in were from really small presses so they might not have everything scanned online. Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:33, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Completely unsourced. Tried Googling for sources, and got a bunch of official PBS websites (that is, they weren't third-party sources). I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 00:15, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
