- @Liz, I'm not sure what there is to think. There are two hyperlinks, both of which are of Chinese text, and the rest are books. It's not clear to me how anyone can easily verify the content, but more importantly, this still seems like a rather small and obscure school of martial arts, and I don't think it warrants its own article. I think the topic should perhaps be redirected to Baguazhang. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 09:41, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

The article notes: "阴阳八卦掌,明末清初时,早在四川峨嵋山与青城山一带,碧云、静云两位道长所传。由田氏远祖田如銨始习阴阳八卦掌。在反清复明特殊的历史背景,阴阳八卦掌只在田氏族中秘密传承。传承序为鹏、利、富、海、山、回、克、子、金、川。"
From Google Translate: "Yin-Yang Bagua Palm was passed down by Taoist priests Biyun and Jingyun in the Emei Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain area of Sichuan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Tian Ruquan, the distant ancestor of the Tian family, began to practice Yin-Yang Bagua Palm. In the special historical background of the anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty, Yin-Yang Bagua Palm was only secretly passed down in the Tian family. The order of inheritance is Peng, Li, Fu, Hai, Shan, Hui, Ke, Zi, Jin, and Chuan."
The article notes: "为弘扬中华武术,田迴先生于上世纪60年代将祖传阴阳八卦掌始传外姓,1990年9月田迴所著《阴阳八卦掌·蟒形掌》一书由人民体育出版社出版,并列为中国武术协会审定的《中国武术文库》“拳械部”所属的“拳术类”,后又作为经典,被选录入《中国武术百科全书》和《中国武术拳械录》。"

From Google Translate: "In recent years, Lu Zhongren (text) compiled and published the book "Yin Yang Ba Pan Zhang". The most striking feature of Yin Yang Ba Pan Palm is that it moves around without stopping, its hand, leg, footwork and body movements are ever-changing, its postures are upright and diagonal, turning and turning, rising and falling, and each movement is tightly organized. , the technique is vertical and horizontal guerrilla, circling left and right, and has great charging power.

The book notes: "阴阳八盘掌在清代也称“阴阳八卦掌”。此拳强调“八盘” (指人体的八个部位)的锻炼。因传授的人不同而变得多种多样。但在董海川以后,尹福和程廷华传授是主流。李振清前期弟子萧海波( 1863——1954 ) ,将此拳从民间传入清朝王府。萧的传人芦忠仁在津门潜心钻研,并向下传续了此拳,另有人称“醉鬼张三”的张长祯,与萧交往很密切,对萧述及所学的“内八卦'乾字门'拳法” (即此拳一支)"
From Google Translate: "Yin-Yang Baguazhang was also called "Yin-Yang Baguazhang" in the Qing Dynasty. This boxing emphasizes the exercise of "eight pans" (referring to the eight parts of the human body). It varies depending on who teaches it. But after Dong Haichuan, Professors Yin Fu and Cheng Tinghua became the mainstream. Xiao Haibo (1863-1954), a former disciple of Li Zhenqing, introduced this boxing from the people to the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. Lu Zhongren, Xiao's descendant, devoted himself to studying in Jinmen and passed on this boxing to the next generation. Zhang Changzhen, also known as "Drunkard Zhang San", had a close relationship with Xiao and told Xiao about the "Nei Bagua" Qianzi he had learned. "Men'quanfa" (that is, this fist)."

There's reliable coverage from The Austin Chronicle, including this EP review, but most of it is very brief concert announcements. Outside of that, I couldn't find anything of value. Seems the band was prominent locally but never broke through outside of their city. It's at least a step above GARAGEBAND, but I still don't think it's enough.

- "Cleary's Ramona, like so many kindergarteners, comes to school with three attributes that should lead to successful encounters with the printed word. She is eager to learn, she has extensive verbal ability, and she has a background with some literary works. Ramona "was a girl who could not wait. Life was so interesting she had to find out what happened next" (1968 11). She is familiar with fairy tales, and knows what type of books she likes. Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel (1939) is a favorite because it is "neither quiet nor sleepy, nor sweet and pretty" (1968 22). Ramona enters school expecting, from the first day, to learn to read and write. She learns, though, that she will spend a great deal of her time doing assignments which require her to sit quietly at her desk and complete a variety of skill-oriented exercises."

I would have draftified the article, but that has already happened and the creating editor reversed the move.

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of an activist, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for activists. As always, activists are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third party media coverage about them and their work -- but this is referenced almost entirely to primary source content on the self-published websites and/or social networking accounts of organizations directly affiliated with the subject, which are not support for notability.
There are just two hits of third-party media coverage shown here, of which one is clearly WP:GNG-worthy and one is debatable, but even if we grant the debatable one the benefit of the doubt it still takes more than just two GNG-worthy sources to get a person over GNG.
This may, further, be an WP:AUTOBIO, as it was created by a virtual WP:SPA named "AresuGeography", but people aren't entitled to create their own articles about themselves on here. Bearcat (talk) 17:01, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

There are more appropriate third party sources that could be used to cite this person's work (such as this one or this one). Considering the importance of representing women's activism what about removing the information that you consider self sourced or dodgy and leaving it as a stub to be added to later?

- Plant perception (paranormal) (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)
There is no such thing as paranormal plant perception, this is not an independent field of research and the article is misleading as what the article describes is the "Backster effect". Most of the sourcing on the article refers to Cleve Backster. He is the only person in history to hold such ideas. The majority of this article is just citing Backster's experiments which is mostly duplicated material from his own Wikipedia article. There is a main article on plant cognition. I suggest that this article should be deleted and any information if needed in the "research" section of the article can be merged into Cleve Backster's own Wikipedia article which also contains criticism of his experiments. This article serves no purpose.
The two recently added single lines on the article about Jainism and Manichaeism are off-mission and belong on the plant soul article which is a religious belief. I suggest the article to be deleted and redirected to Cleve Backster. Psychologist Guy (talk) 17:29, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Paranormal-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 18:05, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Yes, the nominated page is about stuff that is WP:FRINGE. But the pagename is the right name for that kind of stuff. On the other hand, the plant cognition page mentioned by the nominator is equally fringe. It makes the counter-scientific assumption that tropism and related kinds of plant responses to environmental stimuli are equivalent to cognition. For this reason, I believe that the nominated page should be kept, and a lot of rewriting is, instead, needed. Plant cognition should be largely merged into the page nominated here, rather than the other way around. Some parts of the cognition page are actually based on real physiology, and should be merged, instead, into the physiology page (and any non-scientific stuff there should be relocated in the opposite direction). So, while I agree with the nominator that we do not need both the paranormal and the cognition page, the one that should really be deleted (well, actually, just made into a redirect via a merge) is actually the cognition page. The paranormal page should be kept as the page that covers the various counter-scientific ideas that have been promoted over time. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:55, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that all this type of fringe content related to plant intelligence or "plant neurobiology" needs its own article away from the mainstream plant physiology article on perception. That is why I expanded the plant cognition article which unfortunately has the wrong title. All the WP:RS refer to the this fringe field as "plant intelligence" not plant cognition. I would support merging Backster's content on this article into the plant cognition article which should be renamed plant intelligence. The "plant intelligence" field is supported by botanists and philosophers such as Tony Trewavas, František Baluška, Stefano Mancuso, Peter V. MInorsky and Paco Calvo and is supported by plenty of reliable sourcing. However, there is no reliable references calling their research "paranormal". What they are promoting is definitely fringe but it isn't paranormal. Psychologist Guy (talk) 01:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- I think we are making some progress towards consensus now, thanks. We seem to agree about a 2-article solution, and the question comes down to the pagename for the one that isn't Plant perception (physiology). I think there's a reasonable logic, based on WP:COMMONNAME, to go with "intelligence" as the catchall. But instead of deletion, I'd prefer to keep the other names as redirects. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

I confess it is too technical for me to evaluate the sources, but I do think the volume of coverage suggests this is a notable topic.4meter4 (talk) 04:49, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for voting. I'm not sure if you read the AfD rationale, but there is some literature about a dataset that an organization called "The FireHOL Project" maintains. Those sources will appear in searches but aren't actually about the subject, a configuration tool that (confusingly) is also named FireHOL. (If this doesn't make any sense to you, consider that it's very common for organizations to release products whose names are identical to that of the organization creating them. For example, people commonly refer to "Google Search" as just "Google".)

- Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. A quick google search shows no significant or reliable secondary sources providing in-depth coverage of the subject per WP:SIGCOV — most mentions are trivial or from primary sources, which don't help establish notability. Per WP:BLPSOURCE, "When material is both verifiable and noteworthy, it will have appeared in more reliable sources", which just isn't the case here. The article feels like it was written by someone close to the subject, and it's full of unreliable citations, some of which do not even verify the claim it was meant to cite.

- The episode is often cited among the best Scrubs (TV) episodes, it has significant coverage.
- "mainly plot with a small review section" - three paragraphs of plot, three paragraphs of reception. BilboBeggins (talk) 10:44, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Scrubs season 1#ep22. I'm usually in favor of keeping articles with only reviews as secondary coverage, but a single review in The A.V. Club and brief mentions in listicles such as IGN isn't enough. (This doesn't count as a significant review – my general rule of thumb is that sites or authors should have their own article to provide a significant review.) A redirect is best as episode titles are reasonable search terms. RunningTiger123 (talk) 03:17, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- I of course have no problem with keeping the title as a redirect. Episode titles are always valid search terms. Gonnym (talk) 09:17, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. There is enough significant coverage of episode in various reliable sources.
- First, "article is mainly plot" was never valid argument for deletion, we need coverage. Second, it is now no longer true, the review section is roughly the same amount of words. BilboBeggins (talk) 17:11, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per nomination. Found no additional coverage beyond some announcements; certainly not enough for notability. No apparent redirect target at the moment; there is a draft article for the artist, but it doesn't look promising at the moment. If it does turn around, then recreating this as a redirect to Molina (singer) would make sense. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 22:22, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete or draftify. It's not looking good at present, but I wouldn't assume it can't be improved. It cites five sources, four of them twice each: 1/7 and 6/8 are by the same Emma Madden, so if they qualify as independent, they're still only one indepedent source. 2/3, 4 and 5/9 are all based on interviews with Molina, and so not independent.

I am seeing no indication of notability. The article is almost entirely based on primary sources from the band's own social media materials without citation as well as citations to their record labels. AMP doesn't offer much of anything other than asking interview questions. Coverage on allmusic is very thin. Additional search finds no sigcov in reliable secondary sources.

Whole article is a WP:CRYSTALBALL. There is no reliable source stating that this plane crashed, nor that it had anything to do with Assad at this time.

WP:BLP of a writer, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR. As far as his writing goes, the only attempt at a notability claim here is that his work exists, which isn't automatically enough in and of itself -- writers have to show that they pass WP:GNG on significant third-party coverage and analysis about their writing, not just use ISBN and Libris links to verify that their work exists. And the other attempted notability claim here is that he led a search for a missing plane, which wouldn't be "inherently" notable without a GNG-worthy depth and volume of coverage about that either.
But for sourcing, what we've got here is one deadlinked directory entry that isn't support for notability at all, and one deadlinked (but recoverable via Wayback) National Geographic article that briefly glances off Jallai's involvement in the plane search without being about him in any non-trivial sense, which thus isn't enough to magically vault him over WP:GNG all by itself. And while the Swedish interlang is longer and features more referencing than this, it's still based mainly on primary source directory entries that aren't support for notability, alongside a small smattering of more short blurbs about the plane search that also briefly mention Anders Jallai without being about him, so that article also doesn't have sources that could just be cut and pasted over to salvage this.
As I don't have access to archives of Swedish media coverage, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who does have such access can actually find enough substantive coverage to salvage the article, but nothing in it is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have more and better referencing than this.

- Rename There is sufficient coverage for the historical event however the invasion took place purely in the Tirhut/Mithila region of Northern Bihar and Arunasava/Arjuna is described as being the governor or ruler of Tirhut first and foremost hence I believe the article should be renamed to reflect this e.g. the Chinese Invasion of Tirhut.Ixudi (talk) 14:17, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Ixudi I am OK for it Edasf«Talk» 14:24, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Well the historians don't even consider the Chinese accounts as reliable or based on historical events but a hoax. For eg see what Majumdar has to say on this event:
- p. 125
In any case, it is impossible to draw any reliable conclusion from this picture of an invincible hero painted by himself.
- p. 124
But the Chinese account of the embassy of Wang-hiuen-tse which, as noted above, reached India immediately after the death of Harsha, has preserved some curious details of the history of this period. Accustomed as we are to the exaggeration and self-adulation of the Chinese writers, this account beats all records and reads more like a romance or a string of fables than sober history.
- p. 125
- The article is based on a fictional account and the hero (Wang-hiuen-tse) is painted by himself. The issue of WP:HOAX still remains and there's no reason for this article to be kept in article mainspace. Garudam Talk! 10:46, 6 December 2024 (UTC) 14:39, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- @HistoryofAryavart We can still as a article since you gave several more content if it has coverage then we can keep it after some redraw and your source doesn't completely denies its existence. Edasf«Talk» 14:45, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- No, the article is purely based on a fabricated account and I have quoted the source to show that it's full of hoaxes, hence Majumdar concludes:
- p. 126
On the whole, the story of Wang-hiuen-tse has little historical value, except as a general indication of the anarchy and confusion prevailing in North Biliar and the neighbouring region after the death of Harsha. What happened to the kingdoms of Thaneswar or Kanauj we cannot say, but there is no ground to suppose that Harsha’s death was followed by a political upheaval in the whole of North India.
- p. 126
- HistoryofAryavart (talk) 14:55, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- @HistoryofAryavart First of all there are other sources as well which do consider it historical and Majumdar is not complete RS since he's no longer a introductory textbooks and his nationalist nature.You need multiple source and Majumdar's interpretations can definitely added in Article but this isn't concrete to delete article. Edasf«Talk» 15:05, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- No, the article is purely based on a fabricated account and I have quoted the source to show that it's full of hoaxes, hence Majumdar concludes:
- This is not a case WP:HOAX beacuse the article is based on actual stories. Rather the actual article should be edited to reflect that the events detailed in the stories may not necessarily be historically accurate. Ixudi (talk) 15:11, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- I have shown how this Chinese account is not taken seriously.

- Comment: Well I have reviewed the sources itself.

This article is about a branch of Rugby School, only opened a year ago. I think that it is WP:TOOSOON for it to be likely to meet WP:GNG or WP:NCORP, and indeed I cannot find significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. There was an article in The Rugby Advertiser in 2019 about the planned school, but this is local coverage and about a third of the article was a statement from Rugby School. There was an interview with the head in Relocate magazine, but I am not sure that this is a reliable source - the magazine's About talks about sponsored content. There is this article in the Sustainable Japan section of the Japan Times, which is a reliable source, but again it is mostly an interview. There is also an article from the British Chamber of Commerce in Japan, but this is not an independent source. I added a section on overseas branches to Rugby School, and redirected this article there, but another editor reverted this; so bringing it here for the community's view.

- Merge to Rugby School. There is also a Rugby School Thailand which should really be considered together to avoid trainwrecks. Can that be added to this nomination? These are new ventures that purportedly are creating overseas campuses of Rugby school. Rugby is clearly notable, but the only thing making these other sites notable is the Rugby name, which is a clear case of WP:INHERITED. They are, per nom., too new to have gained any independent notability. They should, however, be discussed on the Rugby school page. There is mergeable content and the redirects would preserve former content and provide a pathway for readers to locate the relevant information in the relevant parent article.

- Yes, I had redirected Rugby School Thailand too - having put brief details of both schools in the Rugby School article first - but that was also reverted. I had considered AfD for that too, but have not yet had time to carry out WP:BEFORE for that branch and it has been going longer (2017) so there may be more coverage, so was holding off on that. Happy for it to be bundled with this discussion though if people want. Tacyarg (talk) 12:26, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
RottenTomato0222 speaking here: I think both articles should NOT be deleted and be kept as independent articles for the following reasons: Though not many readers might recognise either Rugby School Japan or Rugby School Thailand, some teachers/families who are intended to move to those schools have the need to read about that school online whether if they're reading it on Wikipedia or not. Second of all, just because there's not a lot of articles dedicated to Rugby School's branches in Asia compared to the original school, there are tens of articles online discussing about Rugby School Japan and Rugby School Thailand, so we actually do have loads more to write on the article. Third of all, just because the article's discussion is not widely discussed doesn't mean that the article has to be deleted. As mentioned earlier before, there are people who really needs to read those articles. In addition, other world-famous school from the UK like Harrow School's branches in Asia have seperate articles on Wikipedia; like Harrow International School Bangkok, Harrow International School Hong Kong, Harrow International School Beijing, etc.. Furthermore, other UK boarding schools' branches in Asia other than Harrow School all have an article as well, for example; Haileybury Almaty, Marlborough College Malaysia, and Dulwich College Beijing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RottenTomato0222 (talk • contribs) 12:44, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

- WP:OTHERSTUFF is an argument to avoid at AfD, although here it raises an interesting question. Is this school a campus of Rugby School itself, or is it an international school in the way the Oxford International Schools (or Harrow) international schools, where these are legally independent private schools that affiliate to and adopt the syllabus of the affiliating body (e.g the Oxford Education group)? What is the legal arrangement? The page as it stands reads as if this is a campus of Rugby (which is a reasonably common arrangement, more so for universities). But if it is not really part of Rugby at all, but a legally independent private school that is permitted to use the Rugby name then a lot of what is on the page would necessarily be deleted and it is likely (as for a the Oxford International Schools) that there would not be notability of r an article as it would fail WP:NORG. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:10, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Answering your question, the legal arrangement is that Rugby School Japan is an independent private school, just like many other franchise schools. RottenTomato0222 (talk) 09:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hope that helps. RottenTomato0222 (talk) 09:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- But the school was set up by Rugby School? Looking at RSJ's website, it says
Rugby School Japan is proud to be part of the Rugby School Group, an international network of pupils, teachers and senior leaders
. The website for the original Rugby School saysRugby is in the process of developing a family of Rugby schools around the world, following the successful establishment of Rugby School Thailand
. So should there be an umbrella Rugby School Group article, if notability is met, and then if we don't find RSJ notable, it can be mentioned there and a redirect in place? Tacyarg (talk) 11:18, 9 December 2024 (UTC)- Rugby School Japan, or should we call it RSJ, was indeed established by Rugby School, but that doesn't mean RSJ is part of Rugby School's campuses. In contrast, Harrow International School Bangkok for example, was established by a British private school, but still has a Wikipedia page on its own, rather than being merged with Harrow School. The reason is simple; going back to the Rugby Schools Group, that is a brand of a school set up by Rugby School, though their schools are still independent. Another reason; many British private schools in Asia might have opened under the name of their original school in the UK, but the operator of the school in Asia are different. RottenTomato0222 (talk) 13:26, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- It appears that this was not established by Rugby School at all. It is a venture of Clarence Education Asia [31], who seem to have funded the school and then partnered with Rugby School Group. This is a similar structure used by the Oxford Schools. The school is therefore not a campus of Rugby but an independent sister school that is licensed to use the Rugby name and branding, and follows a Rugby School Group curriculum. What this means is that it is a private for profit independent school. The appropriate notability guidelines are WP:NORG. My searches do not find independent sources that meet WP:ORGDEPTH, so we are still not at a keep here. The question is only whether an appropriate merge target can be found. I think there is still a case for a merge with Rugby School under a section called either "sister schools" or "Rugby school group". The alternative is there could be a Rugby School Group article per Tacyarg, and that could then cover all such schools. Failing these alternatives, my view is that it should be deleted as it currently lacks independent notability, but my preference is merge somewhere, and Rugby School remains my preference.

- Comment This sculptor is represented in about 4 regional galleries and has public art commissions in about 14 city councils. She has been a finalist in at least three art awards. She has had solo as well as group exhibitions. Her work has been reviewed, not just passing mentions. She would be known in public art circles amongst people who commission public art and has some international recognition. As usual I don't think editors should check an Australian's notability by using only US sources or journal aggregators that are US or European-centric. I agree this artist is not nationally well-known, but I want to know what previous commenters are looking for in terms of notability. You have all seemed to use different sources or criteria, some of which may not be relevant. What do you want to see for her to pass your notability standard?

4 regional galleries and has public art commissions in about 14 city councils. She has been a finalist in at least three art awards.
If you would provide RS for those claims I think it would help the article. Ross' work does not appear to: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 16:19, 25 November 2024 (UTC)- Comment: I'm not wedded to keeping her article but I can possibly find references/reviews to her work in her artist's file in an art library next week. If these reviews/references show a body of work as per her CV would that get her over the line for WP:ARTIST.? You'd need to wait a week until I can get to her clippings file. LPascal (talk) 09:11, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment::Ross is a sculptor, so that needs to be taken into account...an expensive creative endeavour and in Australia very hard to sell to major collectors other than public institutions, so her number of public art commissions — seventeen 1992–2019 — is high in the small Australian market for sculpture. I'll check the reviews of her work in major newspapers as listed in her CV https://marsgallery.com.au/usr/library/documents/main/artists/79/anne-ross-cv-24.pdf at MARS gallery, a major commercial gallery in Melbourne. They date back to 1991 and significant Aust. art critics address (Nelson, Lynn, Lancashire, Makin etc.) her work ('(c) won significant critical attention'). McClelland Sculpture Survey and Award (x3) and Moet & Chandon Touring Exhibtion are major events ('(b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition'). Maitland Regional Gallery, Jewish Museum of Australia,in which Ross is represented are notable galleries and inclusion in The City of Melbourne collection is likewise notable. I am not a fan of her work, but I feel after further checks that she meets the notability criteria. :Jamesmcardle (talk) 22:44, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

- Pause nomination for at least a week. As mentioned above, research is being done on this. — Maile (talk) 02:58, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: I have checked the Anne Ross ephemera file in the art library. Ephemera files contain newspaper clippings, exhibition invitations, CVs, catalogues etc relating to the artist. The files are useful to confirm exhibitions, the accuracy of an artist's CV and to find press reviews in journals and newspapers that are difficult to find online. I found enough ephemera and newspaper clippings to confirm that her CV is accurate (artists' CVs usually are) and that she has featured in the arts pages of The Canberra Times, The Age, Sydney Morning Herald. She appears in the Scheding Index of Australian Arts & Artists, https://artresearch.com.au/results/?criteria=anne+ross and The NAVA Who's Who of Australian Visual Artists. Her public art commissions (outdoor sculptures) are in the collections of 13 individual state/local/government organisations (Meets criteria (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.) Her "inside" art is in the collections of at least 14 galleries. She has been shortlisted and shown in two prestigious sculpture awards: McClelland Sculpture Survey and Award, and The Woollahra Sculpture Prize. Because of her many public arts commissions and showings in sculpture exhibitions and awards, I think she also meets criteria 3. The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. ie her work is obviously well known in public art circles especially in regard to animal sculptures.LPascal (talk) 02:21, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. This isn't a hoax, for the record — unlikely as it may seem, it's the real name of a real person in the Canadian film industry, who does have a legitimate notability claim as the producer of a Genie Award-winning documentary film. (Remember that such awards go to the producer of the film, which means he was personally a recipient of that award.) Also, he was born in the 1970s, so he had the name first and The Other One came later, so it wasn't his parents trying to be funny.
While the article was obviously in poor shape at the time of nomination, it actually is salvageable with better sourcing; the key (aside from the obvious need to use much more specific search terms than just his name alone) is that because his strongest notability claim happened 20 years ago, it wouldn't Google well and will have to be recovered from archives like ProQuest and newspapers.com. But I've searched those, and there are viable sources with which to fix the problem, so I've cleaned it up significantly. Bearcat (talk) 16:38, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

What makes the topic notable is the following information about the Trust:
- "The Lady Tata Memorial Trust was one of the earliest philanthropic trusts created to support world-wide leukaemia research. Very little was known about leukaemia at the time of the establishment of the Trust. The Trust provided fellowships and grants to some of the leading international researchers and contributed significantly to the advancement of knowledge about leukaemia."
Even though there is very little information about the Trust in the public domain, in my view, the topic is hugely notable because of the fact that the Trust "has contributed significantly to the advancement of knowledge about leukaemia". So, I strongly oppose the move to delete the article. Krishnachandranvn (talk) 12:50, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

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 of the event itself. The event does not have significant, 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.

- Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV. Sources 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 11 are all independent WP:SECONDARY WP:RS with editorial staff; some of them covering the demise of the project. These include independent green technology magazines, mainstream media like CNET and KFMB-TV, national magazines like Popular Mechanics etc. These sources have by-lined authors and address the subject directly and in detail. The source analysis by the nominator is off.4meter4 (talk) 06:27, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per @4meter4; can confirm sources 1, 3, 4 (EcoWorld, Green Car Reports, CNET) are reliable, secondary, and give significant coverage. @Scope creep yes it failed but it existed and was covered in the news (and is somewhat interesting) so it is notable for a Wikipedia article. "Secondary coverage" means not using the vehicle specs directly, not "Don't use articles that hype the product". Mrfoogles (talk) 06:41, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment It is curious that the first Afd was borderline, now is magically keep. I don't think so. The references and coverage weren't examined then but will be now. Reference 1 is a conversation with the founder. It is not independent. Reference 3 is a notice taken from note sent out by the founder, essentially a press-release. It is not independent either. Are you sure Ref 4 is right. It doesn't mention the Aptera 2. I'll go through the references in the next couple of days. scope_creepTalk 07:03, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - Absolute WP:CFORK that is unnecessary. This is already covered Aptera Motors#Design history. The first question I have is how reference #4 (CNET) is significant coverage about Aptera 2? Both keep votes reference it yet I do not see any mention of Aptera in that reference. Reference #1 (Eco World) is clearly marketed as "commentary & forums." How is that reliable? Reference #3 (Green Car Reports) is an industry publication and covers the liquidation of the company, only mentioning the prototype they tried to build (which is already covered in the Aptera Motors page. Reference #6 (TechZulu) is another industry publication with no listed editorial standards. This reference (#9 - Popular Mechanics) is a good reference but causes some question as well (it talks about Type 1 but then says a second model is coming out - so, is Aptera 2 the rename of Type 1 or are they separate - if they are separate then all the references above fall apart for notability). I also fail to see how News 8 (reference #11) is significant since the video doesn't even play. To show this is notable for its own page separate from Aptera Motors, coverage needs to meet WP:ORGCRIT and based on what I see it falls well short. --CNMall41 (talk) 07:13, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- In fact, looking at the Aptera Motors page, the Type1 and Aptera 2 are two different concepts so why are saying here "The Aptera 2 Series (formerly the Aptera Typ-1)" on the Aptera 2 page? As it is a different vehicle, the sources above about Type1 would be irrelevant to showing notability for Aptera 2.--CNMall41 (talk) 07:17, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

- You have a strange idea of independent. Ideal reporting is where you get information from as many places as possible - including the factory and his/her personal inspection of the car. Each source is then weighed for reliability (eg manufacturers rarely lie about a car's wheelbase but often lie about fuel economy, emissions and max power). The reporter then makes a value judgement based on his/her knowledge of the general subject (eg Car and Driver reporters know a lot about cars, reporters for business magazines usually know a lot about economics but little about cars). The ideal reporter is free to report on things from the factory (if the reporter agrees with it) and also free to report on anything that the factory does not agree with. Your definition of independent appears to be that no knowledge is allowed from the factory at all - which means that if the reporter even glanced at a press release then it is not independent. What are the chances that any reporter never looks at a press release? Stepho talk 00:13, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- The reporter you are referring to is a contributor to the publication, not a staff writer. Based on the advertorial wording used in the reference, do you feel this is similar to WP:FORBESCON with little or no editorial oversight?--CNMall41 (talk) 02:00, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Being a freelance contributor or a staff writer doesn't make any difference. Car and Driver are well respected for unbiased reporting for the reader's benefit and not just parroting the manufacturers. They have staff editors and lawyers to protect that reputation by weeding out uncritical writers and double checking articles before they are sent to print.
- Siler's article for Car and Driver is certainly enthusiastic but he also points out several negative things. Eg, unusually wide front track, restricted rear view, poor ingress for the arthritic among us, poor rear hatch access, poor capacitive-touch buttons, 8-hour charge times. This is no blanket endorsement of a factory press release. He obviously wants it to succeed but still calls attention to its short comings. Stepho talk 04:27, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- I understand your point. I'm not sure we agree that it "doesn't make any difference" regarding them being a contributor or staff writer though. If it doesn't make a difference, we wouldn't have things like WP:FORBESCON and WP:HUFFPOCON. --CNMall41 (talk) 06:10, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- The difference matters when there is no editorial oversight - in which case the contributor can say anything. When there is editorial oversight then the editor gets to remove anything/everything that is not inline with the values of the magazine. Car and Driver have editorial oversight and very good values for balanced reporting, so whether the writer is staff or a contributor no longer matters. If the writer submits an unbalanced story then the editor will simply reject it. Car magazines with a good reputation will work quite hard to protect that reputation and will not throw it away on a cheap report. Stepho talk 07:59, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Forbes and Huffington Post have very good values for balanced reporting and work hard to protect their reputation as well. I do not think that is the issue. The issue is whether contributors to this publication have the same editorial oversight. A reference that reads good enough to print is one thing. A reference that was fact checked by an editorial staff is different. Again, I am not challenging the source, per se, only raising the question. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:56, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

- Visiting the factory would be a good indicator that a journalist found the topic noteworthy actually. However, looking closer at the writer, it appears they are not a journalist with the publication, only a contributor. This could be similar to the case of WP:FORBESCON but don't know for sure. Regardless, it is being challenged by at least one editor so it would help if someone can show that contributors have the same editorial oversight as the journalists ("staff writers") for the publication. MY QUESTION about the sourcing still remains unanswered. What "addition to previously mentioned sourcing" mentioned in the keep vote speaks specifically about Aptera 2 as again, the Type1 and Aptera 2 are two separate models and cannot see the significant coverage for Aptera 2.--CNMall41 (talk) 19:25, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

- Merge to Aptera Motors - Some information is already merged but there is more that needs to be moved. Not very clear but it appears that the Typ-1 is an earlier prototype than the 2 Series. Neither reached production but it is still interesting to read about the development of a car. The failure itself can often be notable or instructive - failed because it was too radical? Or not practical? Not powerful enough? Too cramped inside? Not enough funding? Or just plain old bad luck? Stepho talk 08:06, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment It states in the review article in ext links which I looked at in the before,
A tour of the spotless Aptera facilities, located in Vista, California
, so that is not an independent reference either. I have no doubt the editor got a very clear understanding of what the prototype product is and how Aptera were trying to sell it, to enable him to write his article. Apologies for saying its a prototype. I shouldn't have put it in. They is obviously prototypes on here which are notable but its certainly not this. scope_creepTalk 08:11, 1 December 2024 (UTC)- "The writer visited the factory so it is not an independent reference" is one of the biggest "whats?" I've had in a long time on here. I'd seen other people comment on this sort of argument being made on AfDs but didn't expect to actually encounter it being made 'in the wild'. Of course they visited the factory. That was part of the point of the article. The author is independent of Aptera, visiting the factory doesn't magically make them an employee or working for them. Wow. - The Bushranger One ping only 22:24, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- That sarcastic comment by an admin is not becoming. I sincerely hope your not making similar comments like that in other places on Wikipedia. If I had a factory and was expecting an editor/writer of a prominent magazine to come and visit, I would lay out the red carpet with the corporate lunch and freebies and loot bags and there would be an expectation there would be a good writeup. There would be a strong personal relationship there between sales/marketing and their channels. It is human nature, quid pro quo, otherwise what would be the point of it. I can imagine him - oh look here is our shiny new product, isn't it fantastic. Oh, yes it is. Its fantastic. I will write an excellent wee ariticle since you fed me some michelin quality food and gave me a fat loot bag. It is all standard marketing practice so the reference is dodgy and not independent. The meaning of independent doesn't have a scale. Independent means independent. scope_creepTalk 08:54, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hmm, I'm detecting double standards by scope creep. In an earlier comment scope creep said "I've not heard such a load of tosh for about a decade" and went on to say that I should not comment on Wikipedia. Now when someone makes a similar comment on him, then it's "unbecoming". The common thread seems to be that anybody saying anything that scope creep doesn't agree with does not deserve to comment.
- Regarding the laying on of lunch, goodies, etc - the onus on you is to provide evidence that this happened (or at least that it is common in the industry), that it influenced his article and (if all this did happen) that this somehow is an argument for deleting our article. You have quite a long chain of unproven connections there.
- You keep saying that he wrote an article that was heavily biased in favour of the manufacturer. Reading his article, he points out several flaws with the vehicle - hardly the type of article that someone in the manufacturer's pocket would write.
- Are you aware that for the vast majority of magazine reviews on new vehicles, the vehicles are supplied free by the manufacturer for a day or 2. If it is a track event (quite common) then lunch is usually supplied in the form of finger food (eg sandwiches and similar basic food). Press packs are often given out but these are simple pamphlets - not the type of thing to risk journalistic integrity over. Yes, the manufacturer puts on a good face when the journalist comes to the factory. No, they don't layout the red carpet, cordon bleu food, piles of cash or similar bribes. If you think that this journalist was biased simply because he visited the factory then you must also say that every car review where they did not buy the car themselves is also biased and throw out the vast majority of references in the vast majority of Wikipedia car articles.

Relisting comment: Relisting this discussion as there is no consensus yet. But this is one of the strangest AFD discussions I've reviewed lately. There is an established role for freelance journalists that are not employed by a periodical or media organization. I'm sure a lot of accepted references in articles on this project are written by freelancers. No need to dismiss their contributions if the journal or magazine has editorial oversight.

Additionally, sources from Motor Authority, IEEE Spectrum, Forbes, Greentech Media 1 , Greentech Media 2, Car and Driver review and Wired provides a well-rounded view of the subject to pass notability.--— MimsMENTOR talk 13:35, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

- Keep, without prejudice against a merge to Aptera Motors. The Popular Mechanics and KFMB references, combined with the additional ones listed by Mims Mentor above, would indicate that the article passes GNG. (That said, the car never made it out of the prototype stage and it's unlikely there will ever be much more to say about it, so merging to the manufacturer's article would a reasonable option as well.) --Sable232 (talk) 15:40, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment The references presented above, several of them, at least four of them are press-release based and not worth anything. They are non-rs. I would go through them but its late in the day. I could search for the specific press-release but since the company has went under it would be difficult but not impossible, there is no doubt there is press-release driven articles. A merge is probably the best bet as there is not enough for standalone notability. It all comes from the company, either visits to the factory to show it off, or the usual startup branding that would fail WP:SIRS. scope_creepTalk 17:07, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

As I was trying to find sources to improve this page, I realized that almost all usage of the term "SAM" came from before 1992. It was used to refer to Tenascin back when it was called cytotactin, for instance. There are no secondary sources that exist that detail what a "substrate adhesion molecule" is as a family. Either they assign the term in passing when talking about CAMs, or they pick a specific one and label it that. I propose this page REDIRECT to the extracellular matrix page. It has all the necessary info and more, and doesn't try to propagate terms that haven't been in use since the eighties. Innertuber40 (talk) 05:13, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

This should REDIRECT to the Extracellular matrix page. "SAM" is an archaic term used by a small group of scientists in the latter half of the eighties, when they were just discovering matrix proteins involved in cell-substrate binding. If you Google substrate adhesion molecules, the modern results will either be recapping old experiments, simply use the term "cell adhesion molecule," or be referring to "self-assembling monolayers." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Innertuber40 (talk • contribs) 05:18, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

So this article was created by Phwaice who seems to be a WP:COI user judging by username and behavior. The article was previously nominated for deletion and the consensus was to redirect to a company article that is now deleted due to lack of notability. The article was then reverted by Carloschilo who also seems to have COI behavior.
The issue is this article from a quick glance seem to be nothing more than a PR puff piece for the subject which is basically WP:PROMO. There’s also issue of notability. The vast majority of sources are basically brief mentions of the subject. You have some which are interviews, so they are not independent. The subject is mentioned in a few lists, but these again seem more like mentions and not really in-depth.
This article probably needs to be rewritten from scratch to comply with Wikipedia standards. That’s assuming we get enough independent in-depth sources of notability. Imcdc Contact 03:41, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I don't have access to the cited edition of Baird's, but it probably includes information by institution as well. In addition, when the data set is itself notable, combining that group meets standards for stand-alone list articles. Consider, for example, a list of notable alumni from a college; there is rarely a secondary source that covers that list of people, but the included alumni are individually notable.
- Since several of these institutional GLO lists have recently been nominated for deletion, it is worth noting that these articles exist as a part of an agreement between WP:UNI and WP:FRAT. The former felt that complete lists of GLO were too much detail for university articles and the latter liked the ability to expand the level of detail, as in the way this article provides details about each GLO. This level of detail appears to be moving this list article toward the direction of University of Virginia fraternities and sororities, which is GA status. With that in mind, this article should be seen as a work in progress that can be moved from list article status, either as is or at a later date. Rublamb (talk) 16:59, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

The article notes: "At the end of the ceremony, they always draw water from Chiangchun Creek to symbolize their awareness that "when drinking water, one must remember the source," i.e. be grateful, in this case to their ancestors for pioneering the land that is now their home. The proceedings at the pavilion are referred to as "visiting Baijiao." When the faithful "visit Baijiao," they worship both a god and their ancestors. The ritual is unique among Taiwan's temple festivals in this sense. ... The visit to Baijiao takes place every year and wraps up in about a day, but once every four years Tsuchi Temple elects a new board of trustees and supervisors, and the occasion is marked by the Hsuehchia festival. The main difference between the big festival and the visit to Baijiao is that the procession doesn't just go from Tsuchi Temple to Paichiao Pavilion."

The article shows external notability after the event with a school named after her, a playground, and an award.

Another administrator said that a clan (tribe) is not subject to WP:A7. I disagree, but I'm not 100% sure, so I'm nominating it for deletion. I have no idea how to evaluate whether a clan meets WP:GNG. I suspect, though, that others in the community are more knowledgeable. Bbb23 (talk) 00:44, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I can't find a reliable source, and the one given is a passing mention, as I have access to this textbook. I would be ok with a redirect, but don't know a target. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 00:43, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

- Keep, sources exist, it's just that most are in Romanian (and several of them fall in that gap of "too old to have been published online, too young to be public domain", which doesn't make finding them online any easier):
- SIGCOV: in Damm, P.E & Mitrofan, H. (2005). Peştera din Pârâul Hodobanei. Speomond 9 pp.15–19 & the Hodobana listing on speozet.ro, editor Paul Damm. (Both in Romanian)
- SIGCOV-but-no-access: Vălenaş L.(1982) Consideration preliminaires sur les problemes crees par la tectonique active de la Peştera din Pîrîul Hodobanei (Monts Bihor). Nymphaea, t.X, 183-194
- Possible SIGCOV, but no access to verify: Mitrofan H. (1985) Acomodarea de adio, Bul.CCSS, 9 p.119-130
- Possible SIGCOV, but no access to verify: Tulucan, T. (1986). Clasificarea genetică a fenomenelor endo-vulcano-carstice din România. Aspecte ale repartiţiei acestora în lanţul Munţilor Carpaţi. Buletin speologic informativ FRTA-CCSS, nr. 10, p. 121-135
- Additionally, sigcov in English by Liviu Vălenaş (WP:SPS, yes, but by an expert--his 1982 publication on this cave (listed above) is listed in practically every source that pays even a passing mention to the Hodobana Cave. Also has various other published articles in subject-relevant journals including Theoretical and Applied Karstology and Speomond, as well as multiple Nymphaea yearbooks.)
