Sui-Turkic war (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This seems to me, based on the lack of available sources and a look at a translation of the primary sources offered, to be a set of skirmishes, minor invasions, and on and off bickering rather than an actual "war" per se. I do not believe this subject is notable based on my WP:BEFORE search. Some of the battles individually might be, but again, I don't thing the "Sui-Turkic war" is a discrete topic in-and-of-itself.

  • Leaning merge. I think it would have been appropriate for the nom to have dropped a link to this revision, one diff prior to their own gutting of uncited content comprising the majority of the prose. For clarity, this is the version I would support merging into related articles: the article at the diff of nomination adds essentially nothing to either Sui dynasty § Foundation and Emperor Wen or First Turkic Khaganate § Civil war.
    I haven't yet done a BEFORE, so no comment on notability yet. Whether or not this topic can be construed as a "war" may come down to a translation issue, but this is the English Wikipedia so our word for "war" obviously takes precedence.
    The main thing I'm actually commenting to note is that none of the (WP:GENREF) sources given are actually Primary sources. There are two modern sources named only in translation – which will add difficulty in locating them – but obviously secondary sources even given the translation of their titles. There are a further two secondary sources which happen to be pretty old. Both Book of Sui and Zizhi Tongjian were compiled by professional historians from extant primary and secondary sources at their disposal. Zizhi Tongjian in particular is extraordinarily reputable and may even be considered a tertiary source, but that's a point I don't want to argue.
    Additionally, if these are the two sources being consulted in translation, I can attest that machine translation of Classical Chinese (and even modern Chinese written in a more old-school style) is still real bad, with its major problems including word boundaries, grammatical functions, abbreviated referents, and proper nouns.
    Anyway, still no strong opinion here as I haven't put in the work to inform myself, so I don't know yet whether or not this nomination is appropriate (although an absence of sister language articles is not a positive omen), but the process of nomination in this particular case looks flawed to me personally.

  • Keep: Per the significant coverage in reliable sources on the topic, including various pages in The Military History in Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties; or see https://doaj.org/article/d4cdaacd051b42099ce82e79374c94d4; Warfare in Inner Asian History (500-1800). (2018), p. 61 and Graff, D. (2003), Medieval Chinese Warfare 300-900 Taylor & Francis (pp. 13, 142, 144, 146, 155, 157, 176). Etc. -Mushy Yank. 22:47, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Renaming the page Military confrontations between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks might suffice to address the nominator's concern because the topic seems notable enough for an entry. -Mushy Yank. 22:52, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article is mostly cited to primary sources including interviews.

Nonnotable Irish scribe --Altenmann >talk 18:47, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom, WP:GNG and WP:NWRITER. While I have found/confirmed/added a number of sources to the article, none deal with the subject in any meaningful depth. To the extent that the only biographical information at all is a somewhat "throw away" comment in a piece by historian Nollaig Ó Muraíle - where he gives a very rough age (60ish) as of 1724. Otherwise the only "claim to fame" is that the subject was involved in transcribing someone else's work. While being able to read/write/copy someone else's work was probably far more significant (in the 1720s) than it might now be in the 21st century, absent other biographical coverage, it isn't enough to meet WP:NWRITER. Which, among other things, expect that someone would have "created or played a major role in co-creating a significant [..] or collective body of work". (Transcribing two works by Seathrún Céitinn isn't a "major role in co-creating a significant [..] body of work"....) Guliolopez (talk) 20:59, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I've soft-deleted the other two but given the additional sources that turned up in this case, I'll relist this one in the hopes there's anything else. Has anyone checked Irish-language sources? Also, the relevant standard for a scribe would be WP:NARTIST.

Fails WP:NEVENT. All coverage is very local, not in depth or analytical, and not over a sustained period of time. PARAKANYAA (talk) 14:27, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: The article meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines because the subject has been covered by multiple independent, reliable, and non-local sources. While some may argue that the coverage is predominantly local, this claim does not fully reflect the range and scope of the sources cited,Atlanta Black Star,CBS News,Express News,The U.S. Sun and Fox News are definately not local. Although local outlets may have initially reported on the subject, subsequent coverage by nationally and internationally recognized media outlets suggests that the topic has broader significance. This aligns with Wikipedia's notability guidelines, which prioritize significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Afrowritertalk 15:27, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The U.S. Sun is unreliable, CBS News has local branches (which is what the article is citing), Fox News only covered the case when it was a breaking news item in 2019 which does not help notability. Atlanta Black Star is better but still specialized (and further only one source, and the content isn't great to overc ome that), still almost entirely local. Per WP:NEVENT (which is meant to balance the fact that a lot of news is actually considered a WP:PRIMARY source, not counted for notability, without making it wholly unusable), just because something was reported as happening does not make it notable. It doesn't have to have all the aspects that indicate notability for NEVENT, but this is literally none. Further, there isn't enough depth of coverage to compensate for it. There is little to say. All the sources are when the event happened or the trial. PARAKANYAA (talk) 15:30, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This page should be deleted as the person does not seem largely relevant. Searching his name shows a stark lack of coverage after he dropped out of the 2018 Wisconsin gubernatorial election. Additionally, the page itself seems suspect and contains what I read as promotional material and reads as a piece written in support of Gronik, which is backed up by the fact that one of the primary editor to the page had most of their edits labeled with "possible unreferenced addition to BLP" and various instances vandalism and unreferenced BLP edits being reverted.

  • Keep. Happy to be corrected if I'm misunderstanding the relevant notability guideline here, but my understanding is that coverage of an unsuccessful candidate's campaign can still be counted towards WP:GNG even though being an unsuccessful candidate doesn't count towards WP:NPOL. It seems like he got quite a bit of SIGCOV associated with his campaign, going well beyond the kind of passing mentions any random candidate could expect to get ([8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]). Agree that a lot of the material about his business career needs to go as it is promotional and unsourced (although there are some passing mentions of him as a businessman that could be used here), but I think he probably meets WP:GNG based on the coverage associated with him as a candidate.

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians and Georgia (U.S. state). WCQuidditch 00:22, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the election in which he ran - I'm not sure he's otherwise notable, and he can be adequately covered there. The above argument is flawed since if you only receive GNG coverage for being in an election, we cover you on the election page. SportingFlyer T·C 23:02, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not necessarily opposed to this, but looking at the election article this would amount to "Andy Gronik, businessman (still on ballot; endorsed Kelda Roys)" — I don't think any of the other material could realistically be covered within the election article. I think there's enough coverage in reliable sources of specific biographical information and scandals associated with his campaign (particularly [17] [18] [19]), as well as some coverage of his business career, that would be lost if we were to redirect. And AFAIK there's no notability guideline that says that receiving GNG coverage for being an election candidate means you must be covered on the election page? MCE89 (talk) 00:21, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      The business career stuff is completely unsourced, though. I simply don't see him as notable outside his losing campaign, and I don't see his campaign as particularly notable. Again we have a long history of if you only have campaign coverage and you lose, you get redirected unless some special circumstance applies. SportingFlyer T·C 01:47, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Only relevant for Melodifestivalen 2019, and hasn't received sufficient coverage otherwise.  dummelaksen  (talkcontribs) 21:02, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per these criterias at WP:NMUSIC. 2, The recording has appeared on Sweden’s national music chart. And within the Top10. 5, The recording was performed in a medium that is notable, yes Melodifestivalen which broadcast on the national broadcaster SVT and had millions of viewers. Criteria 6 and 7 also applies. Clearly also within WP:GNG. Clearly notable and relevant.BabbaQ (talk) 23:42, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Its performance at Melodifestivalen counts against it, as the song is only ever mentioned in independent sources that cover Melodifestivalen 2019, not the song in its own right as is required for notability. For the same reason, reaching the top 10 isn't a sufficient condition as that's only an indication that such sources exist, but they don't in this case.  dummelaksen  (talkcontribs) 14:05, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a business executive, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for business executives. As always, business executives are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they have jobs, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party reliable source coverage about their work in media and books -- but this is a single-sentence article of the "he is a person who exists, the end" variety, and is referenced solely to a single glancing namecheck of his existence in a source whose primary subject is his successor, which is not enough to get him over GNG all by itself. And the only other reference that was ever previously in the article at all was a directory entry that wasn't a GNG-worthy source either, while the article has been tagged as inadequately sourced since 2019 without ever being improved.

This article has a long history of COI and UPE editing, most recently even going so far as to produce fake news articles accusing Wikipedians of defamation. Obviously in of itself that's not a justification to delete, but looking at the sources, they are exclusively related to the publication of a book in 2015 in which the subject claims to have treated Michael Jackson. Beyond those already cited I can only find other articles that are clearly promoting other books e.g. [22] "This is an advertorial on behalf of Dr Patrick Treacy." and this article in the Times written in the first person and with "The Needle and the Damage Done is published by Austin Macauley; €30" at the end. I'm unable to find any truly substantial, independent coverage as required to meet WP:BIO. Combined with the COI issues, I believe that deletion is our best course of action.

Fails WP:MUSICBIO and all the sources cannot count toward WP: GNG. There are also elements of source farming here, in June 2024, this source was published in up to nine ([25] , [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32] different newspapers with different titles but same contents word for word. Probably, the subject's notability is tied to being the originator of Baye Dance step, however, the dance step is also not notable. I would have redirect it to Dance with a Purpose Academy (DWP Academy) but it has no page on Wikipedia. Ibjaja055 (talk) 10:20, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: In accepting the draft of this article, I considered it under WP:NMUSICOTHER, and yes, took the invention of dance steps to be notable, supported by national shows and performances, as documented. I don't think we're seeing source farming - rather, as happens with AP and similar, a base article was probably produced in one source location and circulated (it's not a press release) - the piece was found in respectable sources such as the Accra Times - so the only limitation is that that counts only once. Given performance, choreography, etc., I believe GNG is met, if not by much - I've seen a lot of less-well-attested articles (and yes, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is valid, but I weight what there is vs. the source base in Ghana). SeoR (talk) 17:31, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@SeoR Thanks for the explanation but I took my time to go through all the sources and couldn't find GNG sources. The widely circulated source is highly promotional with flowery languages.hijacking the internet...He boasts a remarkable footprint... the multidimensional dance powerhouse whose talent has garnered widespread admiration and inspired an entire generation. .... Other sources are social media gossips like [33] [34] [35] and so on. Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:53, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for coming back, and I see your point. I do think the over-circulated article could be genuine "entertainment journalism" which often tends to the flowery, but I agree it's not ideal. And the "gossipy" materials are only good for background, not as primary references. I will try to search some of the main Ghana media sites for more. In the end, this was a "Random AfC" and I have no attachment, but I am aware that our coverage of areas such as arts in most non-EU, non-Anglosphere countries could use a boost, so I'd be loathe to lose an article with real potential.

Fails WP:GNG, only reference to the "Battle of Naband" is this article itself or articles direct links to it had been edited into. No WP:SIGCOV even in historical sources, certainly not to base a full article off of.

Hello, I'd like to clarify a few points. Just because a source doesn't explicitly mention the phrase "Battle of Naband" doesn't mean the engagement didn't take place. Some sources might describe events indirectly or in different terms. Additionally, I have added another source to the article.

    Hi B-Factor,
    I’ve made several updates to the KDK Softwares article to address the concerns you raised regarding notability and promotional content.
    1. Notability: I’ve added independent sources, which provide coverage of the company’s history, partnerships, and industry role, which I believe satisfies the notability criteria for organizations (WP:ORGCRITE).
    2. Neutrality: I’ve reworded sections that previously may have sounded promotional.
    3. Citations: I’ve ensured that every single sentence in the article is now backed by a citation, and the references are from independent, reliable sources.

Tagged as an essay for 10+ years. Effectively an orphan, listed as a see also in one article (it was also an easter egg link in another, I fixed that...). Categorized in broad category (Ice ages). WP:GNG of this is unclear. Perhaps parts of it could be merged to Refugium (population biology), which seems to be what refugia (otherwise, a disambig) means here. Why this exists as a separate article from that one is beyond me, except perhaps this is too poor to merge? But I am not familiar enough with the subject matter to be sure if this is useful to merge or not. But as a stand alone article it makes little sense to keep.

Based on run-of-the-mill aviation accidents, severe turbulence became a widespread cause for in-flight upsets involving aircraft, including ones that resulted in injuries because of the turbulence. While this resulted in a fatality, though tragic, aviation incidents and accidents involving severe turbulence really make the cause of this accident run-of-the-mill.

I dispute that there was one such phenomenon, effectively there is a degree of WP:SYNTH here. The material on the PBSP armed struggle can be dealt with in the PBSP article, the material on the NAP-Communist Party-Student Union Guerrilla Forces is dealt with there (and can't really be framed as a 'communist insurgency', rather it was a subset of a larger nationalist campaign). There is no relation between the PBSP and the other grouping, they were not part of a single movement or tendency. There were also other groups conducting armed struggle in East Pakistan, and in opposition (to a degree or other) to Bangladeshi independence. Combining pro-Soviet, pro-Chinese groups and intermediary groups into a narrative of a 'communist insurgency' is ahistorical. Soman (talk) 11:40, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am creating this deletion request on behalf of the community, not because I actually believe this article should be deleted.

Just for some context, I created an early draft of the article and abandoned after getting feedback from others that it probably wasn't notable. User:Dcpoliticaljunkie found the draft and improved it. They nicely asked on the talk page if I felt it was ready to be moved to mainspace and I said it was.

More importantly, I believe that AFD is one of the few bureaucratic processes that actually work on Wikipedia. User:Antony-22 started a merge discussion, but I find that those discussions often don't get seen by the community at large. AFD is much more obvious and the discussion is generally more structured. A few other users have made comments on the article talkpage asking for the articles deletion.

I am leaving those comments and the merge discussion below. I will add my own !vote when I get some time, probably at some point tomorrow.

  • This is not a European-style legislative coalition, even an informal one. Unlike in parliamentary systems, in the United States it is common and unnoteworthy for legislation to pass with some votes from both parties. The idea that Republicans should try to pass legislation without any Democratic votes is a new one—even the Hastert rule didn't require that—and one that has not even been put into practice.
What this article does have is a good description of funding-related legislation during the 118th Congress, but that text is customarily in the article for each year's federal budget. I propose to move the text to 2024 United States federal budget and 2025 United States federal budget, and possibly other articles, as appropriate. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 00:48, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can't do an AfD right now but this article seems to be deletion worthy with WP:OR and WP:SYNTH violations. 1) the idea that there are any coalitions (and I use that term loosely) between fractions of the Republican and Democratic parties exist is dubious at best and outright false at worst. 2) the infobox, especially but not to the ideology section, makes claims that are not supported in any of the sources. 3) the article can't even agree who is apart of this "coalition". 4) this article synthesizes sources from the 2 speaker elections in 2023, the removal of Kevin McCarthy, and the various bills to stop a government shutdown to create a narrative unsupported by reliable sources TheMysteriousStar (talk) 01:22, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Now that a number of editors have made arguments for both keep and delete in good faith, I don't think a procedural close would be appropriate - there's evidently valid debate to be had about the fate of this article. —Ganesha811 (talk) 07:06, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I am not super familiar with the deletion process on Wikipedia but I feel that there is enough substantial coverage of this phenomena in the 118th Congress, which was unique and a distinct feature, that the article is appropriate. We did not "create a concept out of thin air". It seems some of the hang up is a result of the name and I would not be opposed to discussing a better name for the article such as "Bipartisan cooperation in the 118th House". At the very least, there is well-written content in this article that could be utilized elsewhere, but given the breadth of coverage about an unprecedented need for bipartisanship for the House to function, I believe this article (perhaps renamed) should remain in the encyclopedia. Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 13:12, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I don't know why people keep saying that bipartisan support of funding bills is unusual, when it is in fact commonplace in the United States. Look for example at the votes for major funding legislation for 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016. The unusual thing here is the unsuccessful attempts to pass funding legislation along strictly party-line votes. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 02:24, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Would you object to reworking the article into something along the lines of "Bipartisan cooperation in the 118th House"? With 1 keep, 1 weak keep, 1 split, 1 merge/split, and 1 delete/merge it seems most who are not supporting keep do not object to the article's content but to its description of "coalition" (however informal). That's not a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater. While I think describing it as a coalition is defensible with the sourcing we have, I concede that it is less so that an article on bipartisan cooperation without describing it as a coalition. Thoughts? Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 13:24, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I would object–my whole point is that the 118th Congress in fact features less bipartisan cooperation than historically usual. If the article is retained, a more appropriate title would be something like Attempted party-line votes in the 118th Congress.
    Also, I'm not proposing to "throw the baby out with the bathwater". As I said, the text is actually quite good, and all of it should be preserved, but in the articles that typically cover this kind of content. As it is, this article is mostly a content fork of the annual U.S. budget articles, and that kind of WP:REDUNDANTFORK is itself against policy.

Virtually non-existent, secondary, reliable source coverage for this individual in Canada, fails WP:NBASIC. Recreating previously AfD’d page (from 2006) but there has been an ounce of more coverage. Only really covered in one article (about her volunteer role as a “fixer” after a scandal) and the rest are passing coverage, mostly in what would probably be considered WP:NINI & WP:BIOFAMILY. She the wife of Tim Hudak.

Lots of trivia in the article, in an apparent attempt to bolster notability, such as passing mentions of affiliations, prior employers, or the fact that she was part of a debate prep “acting” the part of a well known politician. Even the bulk of the fixer story was basic quoting of either her or other people directly involved. While has worked with politicians, does not qualify as a politician for notability/BLP requirements.

Otherwise nobody seems to be really covering her.

Attempts to handle through notability tagging and talking with article creator have failed. Independent research has uncovered precious little for a WP:BIO.

Not to be confused with either of the two more notable Deborah Hutton’s of which come up in search results even for Deb.

Also was mentioned in Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jaime_Watt which was also deleted, but now a redirect.

Would be okay with merging some into the husband, but there is precious more than a sentence or three worth moving. TiggerJay(talk) 06:40, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1. 2 articles discuss her role in the Greenbelt scandal. This fact is about her and not her relationship with Tim Hudak.
2. She was not Tim Hudak's wife when she became Premier Harris's chief of staff, that has nothing to do with her marriage. I think that there may be offline sources that cover this in greater detail, given the time period in question.
3. She is an independent political actor. She writes political columns which have been discussed: https://www.ombudsman.on.ca/resources/speeches-and-articles/speeches/2019/politicians-cannot-do-the-work-of-independent-officers-of-the-legislature-(qp-briefing) https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/how-the-right-defends-policy-lite-brown-hepburn/article_1206a6f9-ea8b-56fd-9b3a-cab27386e28f.html I haven't been able to source the original columns yet or encyclopedic sources, but I think there's potential here.
4. There's another article which provides substantial coverage about her currently linked in the article and it has nothing to do with Greenbelt scandal.
5. She currently on the Metrolinx board of directors. Metrolinx is a controversial agency, and I may be able to find sources that are about her role as a director specifically. Such a source would could be paid, such as a transportation or engineering magazine, given the niche topic.
I may prematurely moved the article from draftspace. I think the most appropriate action is that it is moved back to draftspace, given the likelihood that more information can be uncovered. Legend of 14 (talk) 07:48, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also found this article: https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/ontario-liberals-target-conservative-leader-hudaks-wife-over-cancelled-gas-plant. That's 4 independent sources, with substantial coverage, about 3 different topics. Legend of 14 (talk) 08:02, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Extended discussion about the merits of those point
To be clear the criteria for inclusion is not about simply having reliable sources, nor if you know that it is TRUE, but rather if it meets specific criteria for being notable. See the linked policies in response to each of your points:
  1. The two sources are effectively WP:PRIMARY sources as they recount who-said-what. I was unable to find any significant WP:SECONDARY coverage of this "volunteer role" such as the impact, result, or aftermath of her involvement (ie did it accomplish anything of note). Hutton's role isn't even covered in the Greenbelt scandal article.
  2. Both Hudak and Harris are simply passing mentions of being in proximity of notable people and thus it would still fail WP:NINI. The exact timeline isn't relevant.
  3. The reliable sources refer to her as a "longtime strategist"[47] and " one-time chief of staff" (e.g. appointed) [48] which is in the realm of politics does not mean she meets WP:POLITICIAN, and simply having those titles does not itself establish notability.
  4. The other sig-coverage I assume you're referring to is "Tim Hudak’s daughter Miller the light of his life" -- which is an article centered around their daughter, and the only reason this article was covered was given in the title, because it was about the notable, Tim Hudak and the impact on his political aspirations their daughters illness created. WP:NINI
  5. Per reliable sources from the article, her role on the board is a "part-time role." [49]. No indication she had any significant role, in anything having to do with any scandal of Metrolinx, and again, isn't even referenced in that article's page.
  6. With regards to the National Post citation above, I think the title is supporting of a general lack of notability "Ontario Liberals target Conservative leader Hudak's wife over cancelled gas plant" (emphasis added) -- the article has chosen to use "leader's wife" instead of directly referencing Hutton by name in the title.
Based on the above, I suggest nothing has been provided to support WP:PERSON the person [...] should be "worthy of notice" [...], "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". She appears to have worked in the proximity of notable people/events/companies, but does not support that she meets any of the criteria of being independently notable. Also does not meet WP:ANYBIO criteria. TiggerJay(talk) 17:43, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
1. The people who wrote the articles have no first hand knowledge of Deb Hutton's role in the Greenbelt scandal. Secondary sources including quotes from Primary sources, does not make them primary. The content not being the Greenbelt scandal article has no basis on Hutton's notability. It's a good idea for her to be mentioned by that article.
2. Sources make clear her role in appointed positions are significant. In 2003, the the Globe and Mail said that no government decisions were made without her approval: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/here-are-the-backroom-players/article18430066/.
3. There's more to the article than those titles. So this point is irrelevant.
4. The article gives significant coverage to Hutton's actions not just Hudak's.
5. Her not being referenced by the Metrolinx page does not support her not being notable. That article should probably mention her and other board members.
6. Just because the article title chooses to disrespectfully refer to her as Tim Hudak's wife, does not mean the article was not primarily about her.
A coverage gap in other articles does not support a finding of lack of notability. It supports a finding that the articles in question should be updated. Wikipedia is not a place were women's actions should be attributed to men, despite the fact that others may do that. Just because other sources give undue weight to Deb Hutton's relationship with her husband, does not mean we can do the same here, WP:NPOV. The national post article is about Deb Hutton and giving only passing mentions to her husband, not the other way around. Legend of 14 (talk) 18:12, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Your approach to handling contentious issues does not work towards consensus building, which has been been demonstrated time and time again. ANIANI 2BLPNtalktalk 2 As such, I can only see further responding to you here will add heat without light, so I will defer to other editors to discuss the merits of this article.

Not sure why this was deprodded since it still fails WP:NNAME. It could be redirected to the one person with the name but the parenthetical disambiguator would make it an implausible target, as someone searching up "Feng (surname 酆)" is going to expect information on the surname and not Feng Yunhe.

      The book notes: "春秋時期,鄭穆公有個兒子叫豐,在鄭僖公時任大夫,豐的孫子施、卷以他們的祖父的名為姓氏,稱為豐氏。二是出自國名。周初,周文王的第十七子封於酆國,後人以國名為姓,稱為酆氏。後來,後人中有取酆(現簡化為豐)的左邊為姓,即豐姓。豐姓是當今少見的姓氏,人數不多,但分布很廣,天津、河北、山東、內蒙古、廣西、雲南、四川等地均有豐姓。歷代名人唐代有高僧豐幹。宋代有義士豐存芳。明代有狀元豐熙,書法家豐坊,詩人豐越人,學者豐寅初,進士豐慶。現代有著名教育家、畫家豐子愷。 慶麼姓淵源慶姓來源主要有三. 豐姓始祖公子豐 慶姓始祖慶輔."

      From Google Translate: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Mu of Zheng had a son named Feng, who served as a minister during the reign of Duke Xi of Zheng. Feng's grandsons Shi and Juan took their grandfather's name as their surname, and were called Feng. The second is that it comes from the name of the country. In the early Zhou Dynasty, the seventeenth son of King Wen of Zhou was granted the title of Feng State. Later generations took the name of the state as their surname, and were called Fengshi. Later, some descendants took the left side of Feng (now simplified to Feng) as their surname, namely Feng. The surname Feng is a rare surname nowadays. There are not many people with this surname, but it is widely distributed. People with the surname Feng can be found in Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places. Famous people throughout the ages: In the Tang Dynasty, there was the eminent monk Feng Gan. In the Song Dynasty, there was a righteous man named Feng Cunfang. In the Ming Dynasty, there were the top scholar Feng Xi, the calligrapher Feng Fang, the poet Feng Yueren, the scholar Feng Yinchu, and the Jinshi Feng Qing. In modern times, there is the famous educator and painter Feng Zikai. There are three main sources of the surname Qing. The ancestor of the surname Feng is Gongzi Feng and the ancestor of the surname Qing is Qing Fu."

      The article notes: "出自姬姓:周武王滅商後,封自己的弟弟,即周文王的第十七子於酆邑,建立侯國,世稱酆侯。周成王時,酆侯被廢黜,其後人以酆為姓氏。酆姓主要分布在湖南、陝西、安徽、湖北等省市。據說,出自山西省洪洞縣的酆姓族人曾遭遇大災荒,多數向北方遷移,遷出的人們大多居住在山西省朔州一帶,大同也有一些。"

      From Google Translate: "From the Ji surname: After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he granted his younger brother, the seventeenth son of King Wen of Zhou, the title of Marquis of Fengyi and established a marquisate, known as Fenghou. During the reign of King Cheng of Zhou, Marquis Feng was deposed and his descendants took Feng as their surname. The surname Feng is mainly distributed in provinces and cities such as Hunan, Shaanxi, Anhui, and Hubei. It is said that the Feng clan from Hongdong County, Shanxi Province once suffered a great famine and most of them migrated to the north. Most of the people who migrated lived in Shuozhou area of Shanxi Province, and there were also some in Datong."

      The article notes: "酆〔 Fēng 〕京兆郡渤海堂酆姓起源京兆,祖宗酆侯。"

      From Google Translate: "The surname Feng originated from Jingzhao, and the ancestor was Feng Hou."

      The article notes: "【姓氏来源】《元和姓纂》记载: “周文王第十七子酆侯之后,以国为姓。”《左传》上说: “酆舒有二隽才,京兆。”由此可知,酆姓是出自 3000 多年以前周文王的第十七个儿子酆侯,由于被封于酆(今陕西户县东) ,所以,子孙也就按照当时的习惯,以国为姓,称为酆氏。望族居京兆郡(今陕西长安东)。【历史名人】春秋时潞国有执政大臣酆舒。宋代有著名道士酆去奢。【宗祠堂号】渤海堂。出自宋代酆去奢的故事。酆去奢,少为崇山官道士,精思忘瘦,一心行道,据传说去渤海向蓬莱仙岛,得道成仙而去。后世酆姓人家就以他去“渤海”成仙作为纪念,取堂号为“渤海堂”。【楹联】二擅隽才(酆舒) ,双成寿考(酆寅初)。"

      From Google Translate: "【Origin of surname】《Yuanhe Xingzhuan》 records: "The descendants of Fenghou, the seventeenth son of King Wen of Zhou, took the country as their surname." "Zuo Zhuan" says: "Feng Shu has two talented people, Jingzhao." From this, we can know that the surname Feng comes from Fenghou, the seventeenth son of King Wen of Zhou more than 3,000 years ago. Because he was granted the title of Feng (now east of Huxian County, Shaanxi), his descendants also followed the custom at that time and took the country as their surname, called Feng. The prominent family lived in Jingzhao County (now east of Chang'an, Shaanxi). 【Historical celebrities】During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a ruling minister Feng Shu in Lu State. In the Song Dynasty, there was a famous Taoist priest Feng Qushe. 【Ancestral Hall Name】Bohai Hall. It comes from the story of Feng Qushe in the Song Dynasty. Feng Qushe was a Taoist priest in Chongshan when he was young. He was so devoted to Taoism that he forgot his weight and practiced Taoism. According to legend, he went to Bohai Sea and went to Penglai Island, where he became an immortal. In later generations, people with the surname Feng used his immortality in Bohai Sea as a commemoration and named their hall "Bohai Hall".

      The book notes: "唐代的京城是建於長安,則當時酆姓人家最多的地方其中的道理,十分顯然。鄭姓的始祖是周文王的兒子酆侯;豐姓雖然是鄭穆公之子豐的後裔,但是,當時鄭國也是由周文王的後裔所建,則推算起來,豐姓豈不也是源自周文王?所以,酆姓與豐姓,實際上是一根兩枝,算起來都是黃帝軒轅氏的姬姓後裔。兩姓源異而本同說起來,我國姓氏的奧妙之處就在這裏,鄭姓與豐姓,雖然乍看之下各有各的來源,彼此之間並無淵源,但是如果再進一步認真地追溯起來,就可以發現另一番景象———在三千年以前,兩姓根本就是一家人。"

      From Google Translate: "The capital of the Tang Dynasty was built in Chang'an, so it is obvious that Chang'an was the place with the largest number of families with the surname Feng at that time. The ancestor of the Zheng surname was Feng Hou, the son of King Wen of Zhou. Although the Feng surname is a descendant of Feng, the son of Duke Mu of Zheng, the State of Zheng was also founded by the descendants of King Wen of Zhou. So, doesn't it mean that the Feng surname also originated from King Wen of Zhou? ?Therefore, the surname Feng and the surname Feng are actually two branches of the same root, and both are descendants of the Ji surname of Emperor Huangdi Xuanyuan. The two surnames have different origins but the same origin. This is the mystery of Chinese surnames. Although Zheng and Feng have their own origins at first glance and have no connection with each other, if we take a closer look, Looking back, we can find a different picture—three thousand years ago, the two surnames were actually one family."

      The book notes: "酆 feng 酆姓人相传是周文王的后代。早在商朝末年,周文王之子周武王灭商建国,为了扩大王室的势力,把自己的多位弟弟分封于天下,其中第 17 弟被分封于酆(今陕西户县一带) ,为侯国,史称酆侯。后来,酆侯的后代便以这一封国的名称为姓,姓酆,从而成为最早的一批酆姓人。鄭姓得姓以后,在历史上又以京兆等为郡望,并出现了春秋时潞人酆舒、宋朝进士酆伸之等著名人物。当代,酆姓也是一个分布较为广泛的姓氏,尤其是在陕西、四川等省,都较为容易见到以此为姓的人。"

      From Google Translate: "Feng. It is said that people with the surname Feng are descendants of King Wen of Zhou. As early as the end of the Shang Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou, the son of King Wen of Zhou, destroyed the Shang Dynasty and founded the state. In order to expand the power of the royal family, he divided the country among his brothers. Among them, the 17th brother was given the title of Marquis of Feng (now Huxian County, Shaanxi Province). , known in history as Feng Hou. Later, the descendants of Feng Hou took the name of this fiefdom as their surname, Feng, and became the earliest group of people with the surname Feng. After the surname Zheng was derived, in history, Jingzhao and other counties were considered as the ancestral home, and there emerged such famous figures as Feng Shu, a Luren in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Feng Shenzhi, a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty. Nowadays, Feng is also a widely distributed surname, especially in provinces such as Shaanxi and Sichuan, where it is easy to see people with this surname."

      The book notes: "酆出中國有姓酆的人,也有姓的人,這兩個姓氏的讀音相同,其間只差了一個邑字旁。那麽,這兩者之間是不是有什麼特別的關係或淵源呢?要弄清楚這個問題,就得先行把兩個姓氏的姓源分辦一下一關於酆姓的姓源,「姓纂」和「名賢氏族言行類稿」都是這樣記載的:「周文王第十七子鄂侯之後,以國爲姓,左傳酆舒有二雋才,京兆。」鄭豐兩姓的來源,這兩者之間是不是有什麼特別的關係或淵源呢?相信這必然是一個大家所關心的問題。要弄清楚這個問題,就得先行把兩個姓氏的姓源分辨一下————中國有姓酆的人,也有姓的人,這兩個姓氏的讀音相同,其間只差了一個邑字旁。"

      From Google Translate: "There are people in China with the surname Feng, and there are also people with the surname Feng. These two surnames have the same pronunciation, with the only difference being the character "邑" on the radical. So, is there any special relationship or origin between the two? To clarify this question, we must first analyze the origins of the two surnames. Regarding the origin of the surname Feng, "Xingzhuan" and The "Records of Words and Deeds of Famous Clans" all record it like this: "The descendants of the seventeenth son of King Wen of Zhou, Marquis of E, took the country as their surname. Zuo Zhuan recorded that there were two talented people in Fengshu, Jingzhao." The origin of the two surnames Zheng and Feng, Is there any special relationship or origin between the two? I believe this must be a question that everyone is concerned about. To clarify this question, we must first distinguish the origins of the two surnames.

  • I appreciate you finding these sources. Personally I don't believe these sources prove notability as they are all just lists of names repeating the same story about how the name supposedly originated. I don't think appearing on these kinds of lists suggests notability, especially since most of these sources have very similar titles. And they all contain only a brief paragraph about the name tantamount to a mere mention. Pretty WP:ROTM stuff. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 22:51, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Names still have to meet WP:NNAME, which states that a name that nobody with a Wikipedia article has is likely not notable unless it has exceptional sourcing, as names are just words above all. The sources you’ve provided are almost exclusively lists and dictionaries, and most of them are just different iterations of the same source, the Baijiaxing. I don’t believe that WP:NOTDICT hasn’t been violated. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 16:05, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NNAME doesn't say anything about exceptional sourcing. It says that A properly sourced article about a name may still be notable without a list. In other words, a name that meets WP:GNG is presumed notable, like any other topic that meets GNG. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:22, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes though like I said it is an anthroponym so any name without significant in-depth sourcing is not notable unless two or more people with Wikipedia articles have it. That’s why I said “exceptional sourcing” since there’s really no other way for a name to be notable if it there are no articles about people with the name. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 17:18, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't need exceptional sourcing, just significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. In any case, I've added several other notable people to the list in the article (they don't yet have articles on the English Wikipedia, but they do on the Chinese Wikipedia). —Mx.

The subject of this article has not yet demonstrated individual notability outside of his band, Tomorrow X Together, which is a criteria per the notability guideline at WP:BANDMEMBER. This is evident from the largely empty "Career" section that shows very little in the way of individual activity that would assist in establishing individual notability.

Subject has not released any solo singles that have charted anywhere that could assist in establishing individual notability, or participated in any activities of note outside of his membership in the band. The article mentions his individual participation in a YouTube series, which was uploaded onto the band's YouTube channel, but it doesn't seem to have received WP:SIGCOV outside of a few sources that are largely churned from a press release.

The name of this as "Hancock Chapel" as opposed to just "Hancock", seems to be an accident of map updating/reading, because a topo in the 1950s just calls the place "Hancock". The actual chapel, which is still there, is a bit south of the label, on the west side of the T intersection. There is a scattering of buildings about, but not so obviously organized as to make clear it was a town. Baker says right out that Hancock was a 4th class PO, but it's not at all clear that the updated label was sup[posed to be for the church, and rural churches usually are labelled. Searching is impeded by the commonness of the name and by the presence of Hancock County. By all means, go ahead and try to clarify this, but at this point it seems to be a somewhat made-up place due to unclear map labels. Mangoe (talk) 03:30, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Does the subject of this article meet the guidelines for notability for academics? Cannot find much independent or external references about her. Unsure if Deputy Director position confers notability but again limited search results aside from academic papers InsomniaOpossum (talk)

I've never attempted to invoke WP:TNT before, but I'm going to go ahead and try here, very cautiously. This is a stub article on a notable topic created by a user who has been blocked twice from creating new articles following their history of mass-creating short, poorly written, and poorly sourced stubs (like this one). There is absolutely nothing useful on this page or in its history. The sources are obviously inadequate for a medical topic. If someone wanted to improve this article, they would have to restart from scratch, and I mean that without a hint of exaggeration. Therefore, I am carefully suggesting we TNT this to encourage this to happen. To be clear, I understand that this is almost never a good reason to delete an article, and I understand that opposing views exist, such as WP:TNTTNT. Still, even after reading through opposing essays on the matter, this looks to be an extremely rare case where nothing associated with this article is salvageable (neither what's currently there nor in its history). I am fully expecting backlash over this, but I would like to emphasise that I wholeheartedly agree that using deletion as cleanup is almost always a bad thing. This is an extremely uncommon case where the entire article is unusable. All that said, and while I myself don't feel qualified enough to do so, if anyone else had the time to improve this, I would withdraw my nomination immediately, as again, notability is not the problem.

  • Comment — I am not going to pretend that I don’t understand the TNT argument or have never considered it myself. That said, I’m not sure I understand it, here. It’s a stub. Just work on it as-necessary. From a quick Google, it appears that the topic is likely notable. (Not to get into WP:OR territory, but as a side-note, it’s not a proper diagnosis because it sounds like it is a mild post-operative infection) That said, it being a stub — in my opinion — works against the TNT argument. It would need to be just a huge set of information along with egregious errors for me to consider wiping an article completely. The title is salvageable, no? Breastcancer.org and the Mayo Clinic both refer it as BII. Surely someone from Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine could assist with this?

  • Keep The topic certainly seems notable - a quick search reveals articles in The Guardian [60], the Australian ABC [61], Spectrum News [62] and the BBC [63]. Surely it would be possible to expand and improve the article, rather than deleting it? The information in it doesn't seem incorrect, just not appropriately expressed. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:27, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The news sources demonstrate notability, so they have a valid function, and what is said appears to be true. It's surprising anyone would attempt to write a med. article without using any MEDRS sources. Here are some:
There are plenty more med. sources available. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:45, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources above. There are more sources available too, but the ones linked above should prove sufficient for notability. WP:TNT doesn't seem appropriate here given it's only a five-sentence stub. Procyon117 (talk) 11:55, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@MWFwiki, @RebeccaGreen, @Chiswick Chap, @Procyon117: Alright, alright, everyone. I understand. I've decided I will take matters into my own hands and attempt to personally rewrite this page. Even if I can't make it perfect, I can hopefully at least make it better than what it is now (and better sourced). Anonymous 14:58, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the given sources:

  • [64] is not SIGCOV and only links him as a contact, also not independent as it's a partnership with his association
  • [65] and [66] do not mention him at all
  • [67] is IMDB
  • [68] is his association's official website (primary)
  • [69] only lists his association in a bullet list of many others, no SIGCOV
  • [70] is another of his websites
  • [71] is an interview he gave to a council his association joined, neither independent nor secondary
  • [72] is another SIGCOV-free bullet list
  • [73] doesn't mention him, and, looking at the context of how it was used, wouldn't have been independent either way
  • [74] is his speaker profile at an event, not independent
  • [75] is literally an advertisement
  • [76] is the same as the first source, but this time with the title of a different paragraph
  • [77] is yet another list with no content beyond names
  • [78] and [79] are open letters he helped writing, very primary
  • [80] gives me an error 404, but appears to be another open letter

All in all, out of 17 references, exactly zero provide secondary, independent SIGCOV, making this a very likely WP:GNG failure. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 01:35, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: this link should work (grabbed from archive). You're right that it's just another open letter. Procyon117 (talk) 11:58, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable history denier. Few sources on google search, all of them more than 5 years old; this raises the prospect that the subject's notoriety was short-lived and has not endured. YouTube channel has fewer than 20K subscribers; most videos less than 5 years old have fewer than 500 views. There is mention in the Reuters source of one or more videos with over 300,000 views; however, it is not on the YouTube channel, and no other reference to this purported video could be located. Risker (talk) 00:46, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Noting here that the YouTube channel has a 16-year-old video, "Westboro Baptist neutralized by the Patriot Guard Riders" that has over 900K views; its SEO tags are "Patriot Guard Riders Westboro Baptist Fred Phelps gay military funeral army navy air force marines coast guard free speech propagandabuster propaganda buster tony WBC", several of which are heavily-searched terms. The article subject is not noted to have anything to do with either Westboro Baptist Church or the Patriot Guard Riders, in the article or in any reliable source that I could locate. That makes a single highly viewed video out of 2.6K videos. Risker (talk) 00:57, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete this article because I need time to gather enough information about him. Beside I'm using information from Japan's wikipedia to create it. Besides he's one of the history deniers we need to worry about and avoid for non-Asians Youtubers. Besides, you can help me by translating the source citations from the Japanese wikipedia and get this issue resolved. Koreanidentity10000

Hello, Koreanidentity10000. I see you have been adding information from another project. Please read this information on how to copy information from another Wikimedia project, because you're not correctly attributing that information. Remember to include the reference sources when you are copying over the information. If it isn't referenced in that project, then it should not be coming to English Wikipedia. I will give you time to sort this out, but right now with your changes, it is now a copyright violation with poorly referenced or unreferenced material. Since this is a biography of a living person, this is a fairly big deal. Risker (talk) 06:18, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Two unreleased films that fail to establish notability. The first film may have been unfinished, which is why it is listed here as a short film [94]. The first film was also incorrectly listed on the 2008 list of films, but the sources were emerging in mid-December 2008 and a release seemed unlikely [95].

In an attempt to salvage, the film article I added information about the second unreleased film, all passing mentions.

Source Reliable? Significant? Notes
Indiaglitz [96] Generally unreliable No See Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force#Guidelines on sources.
Filmibeat [97] Generally unreliable No

Although, I find this database site dubious [98] Kailash29792 assured me of its usefulness for Malayalam cinema. It lists all of the released films and some unreleased films. While it lists the 2017 version as unreleased (first with a pink U and then with [ പുറത്തിറങ്ങാത്ത ചിത്രം ] (transl. [Unreleased film]), it has no mention of the 2008 film, so without a doubt that film was never released.
