The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge‎ to Public image of Taylor Swift. I don't see a reason to delete before merging, as some people suggest - we would need to preserve history in any case. Vanamonde93 (talk) 22:30, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Taking this to AFD after a PROD was contested. Regardless of how it got split off from a public image article, what we have now is heavily bloated with excessive details and fancruft, even more so than what I saw a few months ago. The amount shown within "Fashion and aesthetic" here following a split was plenty and frankly didn't require another page for extended details. We're not supposed to be Swift-o-pedia by making excessive pages on simply anything the press writes pertaining to Taylor per WP:NOTADIARY and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Some pieces are more important than others. To be blunt, the page comes off as a WP:POVFORK dedicated to praising her looks. By no means does it help when clothing is called "classic" outside of quotes or how most (if not all) of the commentary under "Reception" seems to lean towards positive remarks when not just giving matter-of-fact or neutral descriptions. Elaborating on some of the negative criticisms might make this read somewhat less like a puff piece, but either way that wouldn't be enough to salvage the page.

• Comment - I was hoping to formulate a decisive vote here, but will have to declare myself undecided on the notability of the topic. Swiftyism is severely out of hand and it downright gives me the creeps -- she's barely seen as a human being anymore -- and this particular article continues the madness with cringeworthy fancruft and other types of obsession for which the obsessed should seek psychiatric help. But on the other hand, dozens of reliable media sources have analyzed her fashion style as a cultural phenomenon of public interest, so I cannot conclude that this article topic violates WP policy. Regardless, there should be a community effort to pare it down into something more factual that does not reflect the sensibilities of stalkers. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:04, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I wholeheartedly agree that many obsessive fans have gotten "severely out of hand" with their overzealous actions. It seems to have made certain journalists who already like Taylor to go over the top with minutiae in their coverage, so one can't always tell how much of that is worth implementing in some capacity. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 15:46, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Swift's fashion, by the 2024 (which in the 18th year of her career), has received more than enough coverage and notability to warrant a separate article. The cited sources are all listed reliable sources, including major music and fashion publications. ℛonherry☘ 06:20, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reliability of publications used isn't the problem here; it instead is neutrality and undue weight. The sheer number of existing sources also doesn't compensate for how the article is loaded with way too many positive remarks. This appears to have been cherry-picked so little to none of comments are even remotely negative. Either way, it's not like she has always gotten unanimous praise for fashion. The article overall reads like something from a fan site or a public relations team. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 13:28, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been contributing at the Bands/Musicians AfD page for a long time, and several of these peripheral Taylor Swift articles have come up over the past few years. I believe most survived because WP policy allows articles that are supported by multiple reliable sources, and the deletion discussions often became lamentations about the obsessive fan prose in those articles, just like here. That is a matter of editing and cleanup, and perhaps the community of editors behind this article could be convinced at the talk page to lighten up on the stalking. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:52, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. There's a neutral share of criticism of Swift's fashion within the article, claiming her dressing sense is "normal" and underwhelming for a popstar, which is also reflected in the lead. Neutrality isn't forcing a 50/50 split of opinions when that isn't the case in the sources. Her fashion has been mostly praised in the media, and some of her "normal" clothes have been criticized, which has been proportionately represented in the prose; it's a 70/30. I cannot agree with your claims that this article is "loaded" with praise, which is honestly an exaggeration and is no grounds for deletion. There is always room for improvement and copyediting in any given article, that I'll agree. The prime criterion for the creation of an article on Wikipedia is the notability of its subject, and this subject has received more than enough notability to have an article. Any other concerns only make way for copyediting, not deletion. ℛonherry☘ 00:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The body says nothing about "underwhelming" or anything synonymous to that, so I'm not sure where this came from, and nevertheless the lead isn't supposed to introduce new things that get no subsequent mentions within an article. I wasn't suggesting a split had to necessarily be 50/50, just that the page looked overly skewed towards positive. This particularly goes for the "Reception" section where the parts sounding generally negative got quickly followed by journalists trying to counter them. It comes off as an attempt to say "these people who nitpick or don't like her choices are wrong". By no means was I exaggerating when I said "loaded", and I'm not going to sugarcoat how the page contains fancruft. When a page seemingly tries to convey a message of "Taylor looks great and don't listen to the haters of her clothing choices", that is unduly positive weight. That's why I brought up WP:POVFORK earlier, and it mentions The creator of the new article may be sincerely convinced that there is so much information about a certain aspect of a subject that it justifies spinning off a separate article. Any subarticle that deals with opinions about the subject of parent article must include suitably-weighted positive and negative opinions, and/or rebuttals, if available, and the original article should contain a neutral summary of the split article. I'm not convinced it gives enough weight to the latter, even if overall less common than the former. Regardless, it's overkill to have as much detail as the page currently goes into. I would expect that much positive, negative, or neutral commentary to be found in a fashion publication or a gossip rag instead of an encyclopedia. Furthermore, let's not ignore the WP:NOTADIARY policy, which says not every detail reported on someone's life is worth including. It's an oversimplification to assume everything that gets into the news is worth making an article for. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:15, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and merge to Public image of Taylor Swift, per above WP:NOTADIARY and WP:FANCRUFT policies stated above. Swift's fashion sense is notable that there is a range of coverage from beauty sites, but I don't see anything here that can't be covered in the public image article.

• Very weak keep, but not strongly opposed to a merge to Public image of Taylor Swift. I agree that the current article is bloated, but Taylor Swift's fashion sense and influence on fashion trends does seem to have received a lot of coverage in reliable sources. It doesn't strike me as that unreasonable to think that the impact of the world's biggest pop star on fashion would be a sufficiently notable phenomenon to merit an article. For instance (without intending this as an appeal to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS), we have articles on Fashion of Madonna, Fashion of Audrey Hepburn and Fashion of Diana, Princess of Wales, so while I agree that there are WP:FANCRUFT issues here, I don't think the fashion of a very prominent celebrity is inherently FANCRUFT or that this is a topic uniquely of interest to swifties. I lean towards keeping and trying to fix the issues as part of normal editing, but would not be strongly opposed to a selective merge to Public image of Taylor Swift. MCE89 (talk) 23:46, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Public image of Taylor Swift. I see that is has received an honestly strange amount of coverage, but it is very bloated with fancruft and I don't really see why it needs to be a separate article from Public image of Taylor Swift. I agree that it is not uniquely of interest to swifties, but in my opinion it breaks WP:NOTGOSSIP. Sophisticatedevening (talk) 02:15, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete -- (merge to Public image of Taylor Swift) -- seconding Sophisticatedevening, 100% hit the nail on the head. My biggest concern would be that Swift is so notable and so well-covered that virtually every aspect of her could technically be spun-off into a standalone article. I think having broad category-like articles are the best way of handling this while respecting notability. MWFwiki (talk) 00:34, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Public image of Taylor Swift per above arguments. Also, it's just an essay, not policy, but issues like this make me think of WP:FART. Tepkunset (talk) 19:14, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A locally known healer, but not covered significantly by multiple sources. Of the sources in the article:

1. not specifically about the subject (archive link [1])

2. A significant source, a book including 8 pages about the subject - but this is the only WP:SIGCOV. This source is fairly hagiographic, as it happens, and so may not count as intellectually independent. It is mostly quotes of her saying things about life, the universe, and everything.

3. About the group she belonged to.

4. A brief mention (archive link [2])

Of the external links, the first is a short obit, the second is a short bio, the third and fourth are copied from the book source, and the last is just an association website. Wizmut (talk) 22:56, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep in addition to the book mentioned above (with its eight pages on Blumenstein) and other articles/books about the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, I find multiple articles that cover her work as a basket maker. This, combined with her presence in the Alaska Women's Hall of Fame combine to make her a notable figure. I have added these articles to the article. DaffodilOcean (talk) 05:00, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I've updated the External Links. PamD 11:44, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I noticed this nomination yesterday and thought after a quick glance at the article that Blumenstein was likely notable, but didn't have time right then to dig into it further. I was going to do so today, only to find that DaffodilOcean and PamD had beaten me to it. The additional sources that they've added demonstrate that the subject meets WP:GNG/WP:BASIC. Schazjmd (talk) 14:33, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I could find no secondary source about this person. One book by Margaret McKenny and Stuntz, The New Savory Wild Mushroom, does have some reviews, but I'm not convinced that's enough to make him notable. Badbluebus (talk) 22:01, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. There's an 8 page biography already cited in the article: Ammirati, Joe F.; Libonati-Barnes, Susan (1986). "Daniel Elliot Stuntz, 1909-1983". Mycologia. 78 (4): 515–521. ISSN 0027-5514.. Another one is Ammirati, J. F. (1983). "Daniel Elliot Stuntz". Taxon. 32 (3): 533–533. ISSN 0040-0262.. He is the coauthor of The Savory Wild Mushroom, which was widely reviewed (e.g. [4], [5]). Jfire (talk) 01:36, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  It looks like the 1983 source you showed is an obituary, which to me carries less weight when establishing notability. I'm more inclined to believe that although the book he co-authored could be notable, Stuntz himself is not. Badbluebus (talk) 01:45, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. To me this idea that obituaries carry less weight is making things up that are not actually in our guidelines. If we have a rule that what we need for an article is in-depth coverage in reliable independent secondary sources, then what we have is exactly that. If you think GNG should be changed to mean something different, then an individual AfD is not the place for that. The bigger issue, though, is that these two obituaries are not independent of each other, because they share an author. That means we do not have multiple independent sources counting towards GNG notability. One coauthored book with two published reviews [6] [7] counts towards WP:AUTHOR but by itself that would again fall short of the mark. I am on the weak keep side of the fence rather than weak delete, though, because I think the book reviews are also in-depth coverage (of Stuntz's works rather than his life story, but still coverage that counts), so putting them together with the obituaries gives us enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:14, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If a teacher submitted this as a lesson plan, they would be evaluated as "not effective." There are many other STEM articles that even I don't understand, but they can be fixed with links, examples, and footnotes. This one, using a logarithmic scale as its centerpiece, can't be fixed into an actual encyclopedia article.

This article about a book was written by the book's author, a clear conflict of interest. There are four references – two are the book itself, another is simply its ISBN, and the final (which I will delete) is a Wikipedia article. There are no independent references; the book was published about three months ago and it does not appear notable; I could not find it on an Internet my search other than on the Internet Archive. Furthermore, it is not a work of fiction and therefore does not have a "plot", which is the main section of the article. It may not meet criteria for speedy deletion, but should be deleted because of lack of notability in this category and the author's/creator's conflict of interest.

Please note that, despite being self-published, the book is edited and subject to open peer review. The book disclosed the reviewer's name along with the editor. Anyone can freely download the book from the source that I provide here. You can read this book if you work in medicine.

I know that self-promotion is bad. Nevertheless, promoting your worthy work for the benefit of people is a wonderful thing. I wrote this article about my book on Wikipedia so that interested ear surgeons will readily notice it.

The creator might not know is that folks that use us with a conflict of interest are also creating a tax problem for us: as a charity, no part of our revenue can be used to profit anyone. If this were clearly notable, with significant coverage in reliable sources, an argument could be made that this is harmless, but I don't see any evidence therefore.

  Research papers and research-based medical books are not same. The book is a compilation of many research works that must have authentic resources. My article is on a research-based book, not about a personal research paper. This book was edited and openly peer-reviewed by world renowned eminent ear surgeons. Reviewer's remarks were mentioned within the book. It is a published book, it has an ISBN, and it is cataloged in the Government's Department of Archive and Library.

  It is considered a charity when an author freely offers his hard-labored book to others. I don't understand how a charity harms another charitable work.

  After reading all the remarks, I understood my learned editors hardly gave a glance at the book. Although the book is free to download from the Internet Archive. I got their taste. If someone think I had bad intentions, it hurt me. Finally, I will request the admin to delete my article as soon as possible. This is my final decision and kindly ignore my previous request.

The image was presumably next to the text "Α-Τ Πυροβόλο 1943 (Μ. Βρετανία)", but the original may well have been lost to time. Quite how the YouTube content creator got the romanised name Makrykano, I wont speculate.

I'm struggling to see why this biography is notable. I understand that she is the daughter of a former British Prime Minister, but that isn't enough for a page in its own right. I can see that there are mentions of her in the media which she has participated in (i.e. she is not private person as such). However, I can't see why her biography is in itself notable. There is nothing about her life that I can see that would justify this page if it wasn't for the fact that her father was a British Prime Minister. Now that a few years have passed since her father was a Prime Minister, maybe it's clearer than when this article was previous nominated for deletion in 2021 as to why it isn't notable. It's interesting to note that on the page for Boris Johnson there is nothing about her apart from her name. Maybe a sentence about her in his personal life section might be sufficent rather than this whole article? Seaweed (talk) 17:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: as WP:NOTINHERETED.

• Delete As the person who created this AfD I think maybe a little bit of information about her in the Boris Johnson article (more than just her name) would probably be sufficient. My concern is that I just don't think there needs to be an entire article about her. If she wasn't Boris Johnson's daughter, I'm sure there wouldn't be an article about her. With the greatest respect to her, her biography doesn't inherently meet Wikipedia's notability.

Non-notable fictional concept. The references included outside of primary sources only consist of trivial coverage, largely from content farms. Searches are not turning up any significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources, making it a failure of the WP:GNG. I would have suggested redirecting it to Cyclops (Marvel Comics), except I don't think the name "Punch dimension" has ever actually been used in any official capacity in the comics, and is just a joke/meme name made up by fans.

• Merge to Cyclops (Marvel Comics) as natural parent topic: Aside from the CBR, ScreenRant and BleedingCool articles used in the article, this Collider article also covers the Punch Dimension and asserts that it is "described in 1983’s Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe", i.e. not a joke/meme name made up by fans. Daranios (talk) 19:04, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - The concept of Cyclops' power being powered by another dimension is not the made up joke/meme, its the name "Punch Dimension" to describe it that is. The actual quote from the 1983 Official Handbook on the topic is quoted in this article - note that the name "Punch dimension" does not appear in it. Merging is not necessary because the full description of Cyclops' powers, including the concept of it being generated by portals to a dimension of kinetic energy is already described in Cyclops (Marvel Comics)#Powers and abilities. And Redirection would not be appropriate as the name "Punch Dimension" is not the official name of that dimension in the comics themselves, and is not named as such in the Cyclops article. Rorshacma (talk) 21:08, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, just to be sure I've understood correctly, said dimension is not named in 1983 Official Handbook anywhere outside the quoted passage? In that case we still have secondary sources like Collider, which I assume to be reliable, and ScreenRant, where consensus is "reliable for entertainment-related topics", which this is, which report on that fan-generated name. So we can and should briefly include this somewhere on Wikipedia based on those sources, and Cyclops still seems a fitting target for this bit of information to me. (And this, unexpectedly, makes it a non-plot, real-world related factum.) Daranios (talk) 14:18, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Did I fly too close to the sun with this article? Perhaps. But was it worth it? Yes, yes it was. Er, I mean, I don't really object, because the name is a meme, but the dimension is real. Alliterator85 (talk) 19:23, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't think that's a safe line of reasoning or one that aligns with Wikipedia policies and practices. On practical grounds, some sports conferences have described groups of institutions that are associated beyond athletics e.g., the original members of the Big Ten do have some strong academic and administrative ties although I am skeptical that those ties have remained strong and meaningful as the conference has grown beyond all reasonable size and geographic distribution. More importantly, we're not making judgments about how we think institutions should be organized but we're weighing the available evidence to see if reliable sources recognize this grouping and have written about it in substantive ways. ElKevbo (talk) 22:50, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The academic ties they do have are not specific to the business schools, and there's no evidence this is a notable grouping – if either were the case I'd consider that but since it's not my comment stands; it's because of this irrelevance that we do not find stronger ties or sourcing. An intercollegiate case competition isn't enough for that. Reywas92^Talk 15:07, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question for the discussion - might categories be a way to preserve some of this info? I'll admit I don't know if adding a category tag requires the same level of notability as a page. My suspicion is that it doesn't just in terms how I've seen categories tags be used, but I could be wrong. This might potentially be a compromise here between more inclusionist/deletionist perspectives here and in similar categories up for discussion. Jjazz76 (talk) 21:06, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- @Jjazz76, I would say a category of the sort Category:Big Ten Conference Business Schools probably wouldn't be that helpful or relevant. The Category:Big Ten Conference schools is an existing container category for university-specific categories, which then usually container an article or category about their respective business schools. Given that the Big Ten Conference is primarily an athletic affiliation, having duplicative categories for academic sub-units seems redundant and not-super productive. - Epluribusunumyall (talk) 06:28, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Bearian's comment there is no real notability argument, aside from the headline of his obituary in the Western Daily Press which read "WELL-KNOWN IN BANKING CIRCLES", but there isn't any meaningful substantiation of this claim. (Thought of recommending a redirect to the article on his father John Glennie, but that article doesn't exactly inspire confidence in its current state either, though it reads less like a genealogy entry.)

Alexander's invasion of Gangaridai (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)

The article clearly fails WP:GNG, No mention of “Alexander's invasion of Gangaridai“ in the sources, Sources in the background & aftermath does not even mention the event rest are unreliable and don't mention a conflict either. Also this event is based on later legend which is not considered historical.

• The Cambridge Ancient History: Macedon, 401-301 B. C. United States, Macmillan, 1927: It was a severe blow to Alexander. True, he could not have gone much farther in any case; half his army was on his communications with Taxila, and he was using Porus' troops for garrisons. But he thought there was not much farther to go; his desire still to advance with his reduced force proves that clearly enough. The intention of con- quering the Prasii, i.e. the great kingdom of Magadha on the Ganges, with which he is credited in some inferior sources, is a later legend; for he knew nothing of the Ganges, unless just the name, or of Magadha.

• Delete: The article fails WP:V as the supposed conflict between Alexander and the Nandas has no basis in mainstream historical accounts. It violates WP:NOR by promoting speculative and fringe narratives not supported by reliable sources. The portrayal of Gangaridai as having repelled Alexander is contradicted by well-documented historical records, which state Alexander's retreat was due to his troops' exhaustion and refusal to advance, not any direct conflict with the Nandas.

I believe Jim Leisy fails the WP:GNG criteria. Not enough independent secondary sourcing to prove notability.

The majority of the article is unsourced self-promotion. According to the one reference in the article the artist won a 'Caldera Gold Spot Award' but I can find no explanation of what that is or how notable it might be. He also has a work catalogued by the Smithsonian https://www.si.edu/object/solar-eclipse:nasm_A20170021000 that was gifted by the artist.

Additionally, there appears to be WP:COI from Leisy himself, creating the page in the first place, removing other editors' issue taggs without fixing issues, and multiple edits of the page under User:Jimleisy.

  Works represented in the Smithsonian, Portland Art Museum, and 'National Air and Space Museum' were all gifted by the artist, apart from one at Portland that I could find that was intentionally purchased with funds provided by the Photography Council (Leisy was on the board of directors - so there's clear WP:COI there): http://www.portlandartmuseum.us/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=record;id=70706;type=101 SallyRenee (talk) 09:21, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  The works may have been donated by the author but the guideline Wikipedia:Notability (people) does not make a distinction between purchased and donated works, so that is not a relevant argument. By the way, it is not at all easy to donate work to museums. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 03:28, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I am leaning towards delete but not iVoting until I look deeper. I understand the nominator's thoughts about self-donated works in collections, however many institutions would still run a donated work through their acquisitions board; however in the case of the Portland Community College Collection, it's doubtful if they have one. The work in the Houston MFA seems to be donated by another person. The LensScratch article is a good source, however more like that are needed to meet NARTIST and GNG. A GoogleBook search found nothing. Netherzone (talk) 21:22, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - After searching more, I think there is enough for him to meet notability standards. Here's what I found online: a comprehensive obituary: [19], article in LensScratch: [20], a comprehensive narrative about his work in the collection of the Smithsonian's Air & Space Museum [21], he's quoted here as an expert: [22]. These items along with the permanent collections (even tho several were donations by the artist), [23], however the work at the Portland Community College Collection was not donated by him [24], and has a decent narrative: [25]. The COI content or unsourced self-promo can be trimmed from the article; I think he meets notability, not in the strongest sense, but I do think he is notable.

Delete. The primary reason this article is of note to me is that since late 2024, Dickens' primary claim to fame (notoriety?) has been The Telepathy Tapes, a podcast that I do not think I, as an autistic person, can talk about objectively.
I agree that WP:TNT would be the least circuitous route to a quality Biography, if some iteration of the article was permitted(?) to remain in the database.
Also, I want to make sure I understand Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process § How does the deletion process work? correctly. The page was proposed for deletion on January 12, so if the vote to delete the page is unanimous (which of course it might not be), it could be deleted on the 19th. Is that correct? Thank you for your help!! Finalgirlfall (talk) 17:24, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Finalgirlfall, that's correct. On the 19th or 20th (usually), an uninvolved administrator will look at the discussion and determine if there is a consensus to close the discussion. If there's not, they'll relist the discussion for 1-3 additional weeks, checking in each week to see how the discussion has evolved. Otherwise, they'll close the discussion and take whatever the consensus action is (such as deleting the article). Cheers, Suriname0 (talk) 01:10, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to The Telepathy Tapes - I do think Dickens meets WP:NDIRECTOR as it is usually applied, but without good secondary coverage to meet WP:GNG I'm skeptical of maintaining this as its own article. (I'm not particularly concerned about WP:PROMO here; the article is short, and can be trivially reduced to a series of simple verifiable claims by removing the awards and recognitions section entirely and trimming Career.) I suspect that higher-quality profiles of Dickens are imminent, given the recent prominence of The Telepathy Tapes. This review in The Times, for example, contains a few substantive sentences on Dickens. A few more sources like that would lead me to vote Keep. For now, we're better off selectively merging info (a few sentences at most) about the host to The Telepathy Tapes. Suriname0 (talk) 01:36, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Oppose merge as long as Sole Survivor (2013 film) and Fish Out of Water (2009 film) are standalone articles. As a reader, there's nothing more frustrating than clicking a name in an article about a work to learn about them and being redirected to an article about another work. Delete is a far more preferable outcome. Nardog (talk) 13:29, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I personally still would softly favor a merge (as a reader, I prefer ending up on the page that has the most information about them), but pageview data suggests that the Sole Survivor page had 10000 views in 2024, which does make a redirect much less appealing. Suriname0 (talk) 21:36, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:TNT. First off, this is such a mess right now that it would take a huge amount of time and effort to fix the multiple, obvious, tag-able issues. Secondly, as Jay8g discovered and reverted, autobiographical edits by the subject or a close contact, are reason enough to delete or at least page-protect. Third, the subject's major claim to notability is based upon a fringe idea. Meta and X might allow such biased opinions, but we are not primarily a social media platform. I'm not against a redirect to The Telepathy Tapes, which is labeled as speculative and is possibly notable (although I don't concede that). Bearian (talk) 03:49, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Road networks: International road networks (such as the International E-road network), Interstate, national, state and provincial highways are typically notable. Topic notability for county roads, regional roads (such as Ireland's regional roads), local roads, streets and motorway service areas may vary, and may be notable if they satisfy the WP:GNG criteria, the criteria of another subject-specific notability guideline, or other criteria within this notability guideline.

Before World War I this row housed somewhat faded blooms, many from Vienna, who rented their charms for the small fee of $2. ... Around the time of World War I, the Government opium factory was still situated at the end of Tin Lok Lane. Here, half naked coolies could be seen stirring pans of steaming opium. Tin Lok Lane translated means Lane of Heavenly Happiness and probably derives from these activities. ..."

     This article from the journal The International History Review discusses the Far Eastern Association of Tropical Medicine (FEATM):

     The FEATM became a forum-based regional organisation and held ten conferences from 1910 to 1938. The first, in Manila, saw the participation of seventy-six experts from 'India, Ceylon, Siam, Netherlands India, Federated Malay States, Straits Settlements, Hong Kong, Philippine[s] Islands, Tsingtau ([or Qingdao in China, represented by] Imperial German Government), and Japan'. It was a medical-expert organisation and governmental. Its member units were expert organisations located in countries in the region, with key positions selected by these organisations. Participants, however, represented their respective governments, rather than their professions. Many were colonial officers in charge of quarantine, or from colonial medical institutions. Invitations were sent through diplomatic channels. Governments funded the participants' travel expenses and a conference when their unit hosted it. In Asia—with the exception of Japan, China, and Siam—a majority of the administrative units were colonial governments, and they became the member units of the FEATM.

     The source notes: "There has been a curious tendency of late years to alter the names of certain streets which mark great epochs in the life of our Colony, and to confer upon them Chinese names. Thus the street leading from the Eastern Praya to the Happy Valley was known for very many years as "Observation Place", so named because at this very spot Captain Belcher, R.N., of H.M.S. Sulphur, who took possession of the island in January, 1841, took his first observations for latitude and longitude. It is now known as "Tin Lok Lane " which literally translated can only mean "Happy heaven lane", this may relate to the heavenly bodies from which the observations were taken, or more probably perhaps it refers to the fact that the street or more probably perhaps it refers to the fact that the street or lane leads to the Happy Valley; but in any case the neighbourhood is practically a European one and it is difficult to understand the reason for the change of designation."

     The article notes: "Traffic flow in Wanchai is expected to be greatly improved when work on the widening of Tin Lok Lane and Morrison Hill Road is finished. A Government spokesman ... pointed out that Tin Lok Lane and Morrison Hill Road are important links for traffic heading for, the Cross Harbour Tunnel from Wanchai. "The roads are now heavily used and because of the location of the tram tracks along Morrison Hill Road and Tin Lok Lane, only two traffic lanes are available for buses and cars. ... He said that in addition, a signal controlled pedestrian crossing would also be provided at the junction of Tin Lok Lane and Wanchai Road."

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Tin Lok Lane (traditional Chinese: 天樂里; simplified Chinese: 天乐里) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

• Delete. The coverage cited is not significant and the road is WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. Geschichte (talk) 14:05, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • The South China Morning Post and Ta Kung Pao published articles about the road. The road was the place where Captain Edward Belcher of the HMS Sulphur "who took possession of the island in January, 1841, took his first observations for latitude and longitude". This historically significant road has received significant coverage and is not run-of-the-mill. Cunard (talk) 10:19, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per the sources found by Cunard. This coverage is not run-of-the-mill. The sources discuss the street as a subject of historical interest and mention its importance in Hong Kong. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 04:03, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result was procedural close‎. This was closed by an involved non-admin in breach of WP:NACD. In the time between it being closed and reopened by myself, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susovan Roy (2nd nomination) was filed. This AfD is therefore no longer required.

An anonymous IP asked that I bring this to AFD on my talk page. It's been tagged for OR and sourcing issues since 2012. I have no opinion on the notability of this person, and am only bringing it here on behalf of 190.219.101.187 4meter4 (talk) 05:26, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• SPEEDY WITHDRAW. I see now this has gone through multiple WP:AFDs. The last one which involved a WP:SOCK. It's possible I got duped into renominating this for that same editor. I should have looked at the talk page for prior AFDs and I didn't which was my mistake. I only looked at the article itself. I am not going to support another AFD after a clear keep outcome in a 2024 AFD ruling.4meter4 (talk) 05:32, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

4meter4 that article is supposedly about a musician who in my opinion does not comply with WP:SINGER and neither WP:GNG did not stand out in anything nor can I find strong references that are reliable, and furthermore it is not known. Do you know if he is alive or dead?. WP:PROMO delete. 190.219.101.187 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 05:42, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - In the third nomination (two months ago), voters found several sources with reliable info about the singer, but nobody ever used them to improve the article. That's the main problem to be solved now, because the current version of the article says nothing about the singer but it could be expanded.
