Long-term concerns about notability, no chart success, very little in-depth coverage. An interview from 1997 was conducted by SoCal radio station KCRW[1] but interviews do not count toward notability. This UnCut album review from 2003 doesn't cover the artist's life or career; it just calls her an "independently-minded pianist-songwriter". The Sputnik page about Terran has no signed author. It appears to have been written by a family member. AllMusic's page about Terran does not have a signed prose review, indicating less notability. And none of Terran's albums have a signed prose review on AllMusic. The 2008 interview with Full Circle magazine cannot count toward notability; in any case it is a essentially a blog post published through Google's Blogger platform.

  • There are these press quotes on her website:JENNIFER TERRAN PRESS QUOTES

"Endowed with a voice or heartbreaking purity and melodic talent, Jennifer Terran will most likely rise rapidly to the level of the greats."- TELARAMA (Paris, France)

FOUR STARS Jennifer Terran “THE MUSICIAN” — ROLLING STONE (Germany)

"Breathtaking... timeless... pure... monumental.... Categorizing Jennifer Terran is impossible. Terran is a style of her own." — OOR MAGAZINE (Netherlands)

"She speaks of the unspeakable, with great touch and skill in production, the arrangements and the songs. Jennifer Terran did show her nakedness on the beautiful pictures of 'The Musician', on 'Full Moon In 3' she is naked in the head of the listener. In my mind I give her a kiss." 5 STARS for 'FULL MOON IN 3' — HEAVEN MAGAZINE (Netherlands)

"The Musician is Terran's third album, but strangely enough it has the innocence of a debut. The compositions are fluent and playful, both rough and soft. Terran produced and mixed everything herself, but has succeeded in preventing that the spontaneity of her music was killed by perfectionism. At some point Tori Amos had that same gift, but in the meantime she has become a phenomena. Let's hope that Jennifer Terran will never become world famous." — PLATOMANIA (Netherlands)

"The music of Jennifer Terran is so beautiful it hurts."- CULTURE (Netherlands)

“Jennifer Terran has become an instrument so fine that it may cut you. All the Santa Barbara songwriter's albums have been honed to her exacting specifications of sensitivity and truth; now she has gestated a suite about motherhood, a subject than which no deeper exists. It goes right to the heart, and that hurts (good). It's real art, her best. Maybe the world can stand it.”(Terran’s: Born from the Womb of Silence) — METAL JAZZ.COM / GREG BURKE (USA)

"Not everybody can be both scary and vulnerable; Jennifer Terran can. The scary part is her voice, which spirals into regions so high you fear she'll disappear or crash, and lately it has acquired a diamond-dust edge that can saw through a stack of hearts, first of all her own." - LA WEEKLY (USA)

Top 10 records of the year"Terran is a breathtaking singer. Her vocal innuendos are pure, free of the mannerism of a lot of contemporary female colleagues."- FOCUS (Belgium)

"Pure, that was this concert in one word. No setlist, no décor, only a small lady, with a voice like a storm behind the piano" — STORYVILLE MAGAZINE (Netherlands)

"ALL OF you wondering whether Kate Bush is going to release another album, or if Tori Amos will ever make another record as good as her debut, can stop bothering with such side issues. Here's the album you've been waiting for.... I don't think there's a duff track. Her voice is staggering. And you've got to love someone who can yell out a full-on, Springsteenesque '1-2-3-4!' to announce the arrival of a violin."Terran's "The Musician"- #2 BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR — THE TIMES

If these can be confirmed it should be enough for WP:GNG imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:39, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed they were quotes rather than the whole coverage. Anyway hopefully this doesn't get closed before I can check them out, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 14:21, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep although I didn't find all of the sources listed on her website I did find significant coverage in a number of sources. Regarding the Sunday Times there was a review of her album The Musician in the Sunday Times where it was named cd of the week. This was published on 20 October 2002 but unfortunately it is paywalled so perhaps someone with access could check it out. The significant coverage I found was in the LA Weekly here, a music business magazine called Music and Media page 10 here, some album reviews here and here. There is quite a bit of coverage in German sources such as here,here,here,here,here,here,here,here,and here. Also coverage here. Together there is enough coverage for WP:GNG in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 19:23, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Andre Walker Hair Typing System (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)

Most of the sources are bad:

  • "Curlcentric" - looks to just be mostly trying to sell you something
  • "Women Health Info Blog" - is, well, a blog, one that looks to be by a "Prof. Dr. Gayane Dolyan Descornet" and seems to check out( maybe they deserve their own article? I see this so they've been around for a while) but is still basically just a self-published blog.(from my understanding we wouldn't cite a totally self published blog by Neil Degrasse Tyson on astromy related stuff afterall)
  • Oprah.com - Yea totally not a problematic source to have your boss promote your system
  • studio2121 - 404'd, but is regardless just literally an actual hair salon

this leaves the two podcasts and probably the strongest sources for the existence of this article being 99% Invisible and "The Stoop", haven't heard of the latter before, but it looks like something that could probably get its own article but just hasn't if it's press and awards page is to be believed


Anyway I'm basically arguing that everything but these two podcasts are bad sources, that leads into a bit of a more nebulous issue, that being that the system is basically considered bunk (yes, I know that a Reddit thread isn't the greatest of evidence, but I honestly don't know that much about this subject) or at least highly divisive on technical grounds (also supposedly racial grounds, but I don't really see it), and I only dived into this rabbithole because I saw this classification chart on the Hair article, and it just seemed so.....unscientific? I'm not sure, but I feel like this only exists as a page because someone attached to someone famous came up with it.

If this is successfully deleted, I'd also call for the nuking of Hair#Classification_systems for similar grounds, because unlike the main article that section isn't cited at all and neither is whatever the "FIA" system is. Akaibu (talk) 21:16, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination per close at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2024 September 19. Please also refer to last two AfD's. Daniel (talk) 17:31, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This subject meets WP:GNG and WP:NBIO with WP:SIGCOV in Bloomberg News (2020, 2022, both available via The Wikipedia Library if you want to review), Forbes (authored by staff and thus reliable), Radio Tavisupleba (in Georgian), and Fortuna.ge (in Georgian). Most recently, there's SIGCOV of Lomtadze in BBC and Vedomosti on his purchase of the Wycombe Wanderers. I've also trimmed some of the fluff and added some of these sources to the article. It still needs more cleanup, and I would support protection on the page to address the history of COI/UPE editing -- but the sources show he meets the notability guideline. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:24, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: As AfD1 closer, just stating I haven't had time or interest to review changes and support whatever conclusion emerges here. As I said in the DRV, it was probably time for a new discussion since much can change in two years. Star Mississippi 18:39, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople, Kazakhstan, and Georgia (country). WCQuidditch 18:56, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The Forbes article presented above is more about the company than this person. The Bloomberg articles are mostly about this person, but more about the companies that lose money. I can only find a BBC article that he bought a football/soccer club, which is minimally about this person and more about the transaction and is mostly quotes [2] from the person. Oaktree b (talk) 22:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Did you look at the foreign language sources? And the Forbes source is definitely SIGCOV of Lomtadze. It's a long feature and he is discussed in at least half the paragraphs, and it includes numerous biographical details. Dclemens1971 (talk) 22:50, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm still leaning delete. This is a fundamentally, and I think irreparably, biased article about a person who's spent a considerable amount of money on PR (for example, the purchase of the minor-league football team mentioned above). A neutral article is perhaps possible. It wouldn't look anything like this. —Cryptic 02:10, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:PROMO. Notability is not the issue, although it appears borderline from the sources: the person is certainly rich enough to arrange for whatever ostensibly third-party coverage he wants. The issue is that, as noted in the DRV and in the last AfD, this article is an exercise in self-promotion, a product of undeclared paid editing, and in the face of such a campaign there is little chance of our article staying neutral. The current article should be deleted and recreated only after submission to AfC of a draft by an established editor with no ties to the subject; such a new article should also reflect any possibly (if not likely) unflattering aspects of this person's career. Sandstein 07:35, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It’s a strange reading of our guidelines to insist that a WP:BLP must include unflattering information. I’m sure said info exists (I added a Bloomberg story about a big hit to the guy’s net worth, and there’s nothing stopping other editors from finding and adding it), but to make the inclusion of negative information a prerequisite for having an article on a living person seems unsupported by policy. As for your requirement for AFC, the article was substantially edited by PaulW, a long established editor, and accepted at AFC by Dr Vulpes, another long established editor, which is indeed what triggered this discussion, which would seem to meet your condition. Dclemens1971 (talk) 11:33, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    BLPs are required to adhere closely to NPOV, and NPOV indicates that subjective and effusive praise is out of place in what purports to be encyclopedic content. An insistence that our content comply with NOT is not inconsistent with the biographies of living persons policy. Alpha3031 (tc) 11:43, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Where is the effusive praise? I'm not seeing it. Dclemens1971 (talk) 12:46, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Sandstein. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:26, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the coverage provided by Dclemens1971, which establish notability. There may be some bias in the tone of the article but that can be removed via cleanup. I strongly disagree with Cryptic’s claim of this bias being irreperable.Frank Anchor 00:20, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per SIGCOV identified and further explanations by User:Dclemens1971. AFDISNOTCLEANUP also applies. gidonb (talk) 18:16, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leaning keep per Dclemens1971 and Gidonb. I would give somewhat more weight to the BBC article, for whom this subject is the headliner. BD2412 T 03:19, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I agree with Frank Anchor that any bias here is not irreperable and would add that deletion shouldn't be a substitute to improving an article anyway. The tone of the article doesn't impart any praise that I can see. I do agree that the Forbes source is moreso about the company than Lomtadze in specific, but with the two Bloomberg sources and the sources for his purchase of Wybcombe, I think there's just about enough here to meet WP:GNG. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 14:04, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Mostly per Dclemens1971. After going through them sources, GNG is established clearly and can be seen to cross the SIGCOV threshold too. As mentioned by others above, the article got that promotional tone still now, but something that's can't be fixed with a little rewrite.

The subject fails to meet WP:GNG on their own merit and is only notable due to being the sister of a notable person, as evidenced by all available references primarily focusing on her relationship to her sister. And WP:INVALIDBIO explicitly state That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A.

@Vchimpanzee:,Thanks for sharing. I will take another look if you can provide the sources you feel meet WP:ORGCRIT. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:18, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I found some sources that you probably can't access, but you can see there may be better sources now. A Google search at least got me a bunch of sources about the bankruptcy and I chose the best. I hope they all passed muster. One was The Wall Street Journal but I was only able to see part of the article. It was the important part. After that I tried ProQuest with the information that I had sourced to the company's own web site.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:30, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And if you're not satisfied with these for any reason, I don't know what to say. I've heard people object to coverage in a local paper but the amount of detail seems to be sufficient.

For the reference "Workers sell Leslie Controls to raise..." I searched archives and cannot locate the reference. I searched by title, author, company name, and even went to the specific date and page number and there is nothing on that page similar to what is cited. Can you provide a link to where you accessed it?--CNMall41 (talk) 22:53, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you don't mind that I added the links. I do not like to change anyone's comments but think they would be better inline as opposed to me duplicating everything. I also found this which may explain why there was a reference in New Jersey (the last one you cited above that mentions an award) and outside of Florida. Although I am not sure the award contributes towards notability. I am still looking deeper for more so voters can evaluate as a whole. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:08, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I went through the sources provided and also dug through Newspapers.com, Google News, Google Books again to see if I missed something. This seems to be the only reference that would meet WP:ORGCRIT in my opinion. There are a lot of mentions, routine announcements, employment advertisements, etc., but even these are all regional. I also searched more about its parent company (Circor International) and believe this may be notable. Outside of the coverage, it was publicly traded and even the bankruptcy sources for Leslie Controls is related to the parent (references I find on Circor state that the bankruptcy was to shield Ciror from asbestos litigation it was facing. So while I still do not believe Leslie meets the threshold, I am open to seeing if others would agree Circor is and if a merge into a new page for that company would be a good WP:ATD. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:40, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The only problem at this point is whether the sources are independent or from news sources that are not local. Nevertheless, I keep finding sources that to me establish notability. The statements made in these sources certainly made the company look notable whether or not anyone has done the kind of very specific coverage Wikipedia seems to be looking for. And there's too much detail now to make this part of Circor's article.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:35, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And I get that the company saying these details are significant is a problem but don't know how you determine that the company's accomplishments are significant. Newspapers or magazines might have said so many years ago. I can't paraphrase some of the more complicated scientific accomplishments but they certainly look important.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:58, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your point of view. The company seems important to me as well for what they have done. However, we need to look at WP:NCORP standards and I feel they fall short. The "too much detail" could be removed and it summarized in a paragraph under a page for Circor (assuming it is notable - I may wind up creating it anyway after doing so digging to determine if it is or not). At least for now it seems more notable than Leslie Controls. I think best to let others opine in this discussion about Leslie to determine their take on the references meeting WP:ORGCRIT. For the record, they are coverage quite a bit but mainly brief mentions or routine announcements. Regardless of the year, I feel there would be more WP:CORPDEPTH if they were found to be worthy of notice. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:31, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The "too much detail" though is what makes the company significant.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:38, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that is disagreement here. The application of WP:NCORP. It is not about how much a company has accomplished, it is about what sources have said about those accomplishments. The [{WP:CORPDEPTH]] simply isn't here. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is enough depth here except the minute I saw the statement that each employee at the dinner received a history of the company, I knew they just repeated what was there. So the only issue is independent reporting on those fats which might have taken place earlier and we just can't find it.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:09, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not that it would help but I found this which explains the significance of Leslie train horns. That was the reason I created the article in the first place and someone took that out for some reason. The sources aren't what Wikipedia would call ideal, but I didn't know back then.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:20, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources on page consist of databases and a self-authored piece, so no notability there. The artist's Italian-language article doesn't seem to offer anything better. I was able to find this article which appears to be primarily about the artist, and these two which I think are only passing mentions (hard to tell because I can't read Italian). If those are indeed just passing mentions, then it appears we've only got one valuable source, and notability isn't met. I wouldn't be surprised if there's more to be found, especially in Italy-specific archives that I don't have access to, but as is this does not meet our standards.

I draftified this BLP on a non-notable athlete because I believe it doesn't meet the WP:N. Then the creator of the BLP submitted the draft for review, which I declined, but it was still moved to the main NS. I don’t think it meets GNG or even WP:ATHLETE, thus AFD'd it. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 17:54, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Shahzaib Rind is a notable athlete in the field of Wushu and Martial Arts. He is a three-time National Wushu Champion of Pakistan and the first-ever Pakistani to win a Karate Combat World Championship. His achievements include a gold medal in the 3-Nations International Wushu Championship (2016), a silver medal at the South Asian Games (2019), and participation in international events like ONE Championship.

2. ONE Championship: A globally recognized MMA promotion that tracks fighter profiles and event outcomes. [Championship Profile]
3. Khilari.com: A dedicated sports news website that tracks national and international combat sports. They have covered Shahzaib’s participation in the South Asian Games, West Asia Championship, and his national-level accomplishments. [Profile]

Keep I appreciate the concern about source reliability and notability. The following sources meet the requirements set by WP:GNG and WP:RS for establishing Shahzaib Rind’s notability as an athlete. They provide significant, independent, and reliable coverage of his career and achievements:
1. Samaa TV: A reputable national news outlet in Pakistan that extensively covers significant sports and societal events. The article highlights Shahzaib’s recognition and rewards after his MMA victory against India, establishing his prominence and impact. [7]
2. Associated Press of Pakistan (APP): APP is a government-run news agency known for factual reporting. Several APP articles cover Shahzaib’s meetings with government officials and recognitions, which indicates that his achievements are notable at the provincial and national levels.
- [8]
- [9]
- [10]
3. Aaj News: A respected news network in Pakistan that has covered Shahzaib’s arrival at the General Headquarters (GHQ) alongside notable figures such as Amir Khan, demonstrating his national prominence. [11]
4. Pakistan Today: This source reports on his meeting with provincial leaders and his recognition, establishing his influence within sports and government circles. [12]
5. Radio Pakistan: Being a state-run media source, its coverage of Shahzaib's achievements (e.g., winning world karate championships) indicates national recognition. Articles from Radio Pakistan highlight his success on multiple occasions:
- [13]

- [16]
7. BBC Urdu: Coverage by an international, independent news agency like BBC establishes his global notability and influence in martial arts. [17]

Please let me know if there are additional sources or further information required to satisfy all concerns. 58.27.212.244 (talk) 04:24, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the sources you provided, but I’m still not convinced. The coverage appears to be routine and doesn't meet the significance criteria you mentioned. While every athlete gets some level of coverage, that alone doesn’t mean they pass the WP:N test, which requires meeting either WP:ATHLETE or GNG. Also, if you have any COI, please disclose it. It's concerning when an IP consistently tries to keep an article on a relatively ROTM athlete.Saqib (talk I contribs) 08:58, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Thank you for your feedback. I want to clarify why the sources provided are not routine and meet the WP:GNG and WP:ATHLETE guidelines:
1. Significant Coverage: The sources do not merely document event participation but discuss Shahzaib’s career trajectory, achievements, and influence in detail. For example:
- Dawn News and BBC Urdu have published feature articles discussing Shahzaib’s impact on martial arts in Pakistan and his journey to becoming the first-ever Pakistani to win a world Karate Combat title, which is a significant accomplishment.
- Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) and Samaa TV report on his multiple recognitions and rewards, including job offers and financial support from provincial governments, showing institutional recognition.
2. Meets WP:ATHLETE: Under WP:ATHLETE, notability is achieved if an athlete has competed in a fully professional league or has been the subject of significant national or international attention.
- Shahzaib has competed at the South Asian Games, ONE Championship, and Karate Combat—each of which qualifies as a professional and highly competitive event.
- His victory in the world Karate Combat Championship brought him international recognition, as documented by multiple reliable sources.
3. Addressing COI Concerns: I want to confirm that I am participating to improve the article based on reliable sources and Wikipedia's guidelines. I have no personal or professional conflict of interest. My goal is to ensure that notable athletes from underrepresented regions, like KPK, Balochistan, Punjab and Sindh receive appropriate coverage on Wikipedia.
Given the above points, I believe Shahzaib’s notability is well established based on significant, independent, and reliable sources. 58.27.212.244 (talk) 10:24, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now then, none of these sources are used in the article.
Also, I even question whether or not these are actual reliable sources, or if this even says a word about notability.

WP:BLP of an artist, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NARTIST. The attempted notability claim here is that her art has been exhibited, which is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself -- notability on that basis doesn't derive from the list of gallery shows, it derives from the use of reliable source coverage and analysis about the gallery shows, such as reviews of her shows by professional art critics in newspapers or magazines or books to establish that the shows were seen as significant by somebody other than her own public relations agent. But this is referenced entirely to sources self-published by Belan herself and/or the affiliated galleries, with absolutely not one reliable or GNG-building source shown at all.
I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with much better access than I've got to archived US media coverage can find more than I've been able to, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to be referenced considerably better than this.

I guess I am a little bit lost here, what does PROD reason means? Why citations do not count or is there something I overlooked? Sorry, I just try to provide sufficient evidence to retain the journal, but I need to know what is actually required. Besides, I suggest putting this at least on hold because the journal has currently got a new editor (this is not me) and will move to a new publication platform (https://www.soap2.ch/) with all the old articles properly tagged with DOI.

To avoid the deletion of the entry for Ancient TL (ATL) from Wikipedia.com, I am providing evidence of the journal's relevance. First, a little bit of background: Ancient TL is the open-source and free-of-charge luminescence and electron-spin resonance dating community journal. The journal is run by volunteers from the academic community. The few articles published yearly are mainly of technical (such as conversion factors) nature of relevance to the experts in the field. Beyond, the journal publishes abstracts about completed theses in the field (source: http://ancienttl.org). The publications have no DOI (yet), and the journal needs to be indexed, which is related to the low number of publications yearly. Given the following evidence, The journal is of utmost relevance to the scientific community.
@RandyKitty if this is not enough evidence, I may ask to provide actual arguments why the given evidence is not sufficient. Thank you! GeoGammaMorphologe (talk) 21:01, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I waited a few days to see if more reliable secondary sources surfaced, but they have not. This article is currently sourced to about 60% primary sources, including numerous interviews and out-right guest blog posts done by the company itself. All of the secondary sources I could find fall into two categories: 1) A passing mention that "Game X uses Frontier's in-house engine", and 2) Elite Dangerous happened to generate a star system almost identical to one that NASA later actually discovered. (The latter 5 sources all fall into this).

I cannot otherwise find any in-depth independent coverage of the engine. See the talk page for an earlier analysis plus an additional one just now.

Fails WP:GNG. I'd cite failing WP:NPRODUCT, but Cobra isn't actually sold per se so I'm not sure it'd apply. -- ferret (talk) 13:43, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Per nom. Notability is not inherited or "granted up" and I could not find any independent coverage of the engine itself. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 14:21, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This article about the Cobra engine has over 13 credible references such as PC Gamer, Polygon, Yahoo, Mashable, Kotaku, Game Developer, MCV, Ars Technica, BusinessWeekly, and gamedev.net. These are reliable sources. Furthermore the engine itself is historically very significant at having powered over 16+ world famous games. It is also the only game engine that simulates the Milky Way galaxy with a 1:1 scale in Elite Dangerous. It's not a very famous engine, because only Frontier Developments uses it. However, it's popular enough that it's been covered for years and praised such as that Cobra's Stellar Forge system had a star system similar to Trappist-1 before NASA discovered it. Trappist-1 was added thereafter. -Artanisen (talk) 16:30, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You can't simply ignore the source analysis that I've already provided on the talk page. For example, Mashable and one of the MCV articles are both written by Frontier, making them primary sources. The other MCV article is an interview, making it non-independent. I've addressed the rest of the sources on the talk page as well and why they don't contribute to the topic's notability. -- ferret (talk) 16:34, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You're neglecting the reasons and credible sources that have been provided for why an article about the Cobra engine should be kept. There are less noteworthy game engines that are also on Wikipedia. It has sufficient independent sources as well. The games that are powered by Cobra use systems of this engine which are mentioned in more articles without explicitly saying Cobra. Wikipedia has articles with only 1 or 2 references. - Artanisen (talk) 16:36, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Frontier Developments. The mentions of Cobra in the non-primary references are trivial enough that I would consider them to increase the notability of Frontier or Elite Dangerous, but not the Cobra engine. That being said, I think there's enough secondary sources mentioning Cobra to have a short section in the parent article.

Run-of-the-mill predatory/payday lender. "Reviews" are indiscriminate WP:SPIP with no meaningful content. Wikipedia is not the place to host brochures. No indication of any independent coverage, in-depth in reliable sources, in fact there's barely anything beyond the SPIP and the routine "I got predatory loaned to" that all of these have, which, while sad, are not great sources for encyclopedic content.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:

    People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

    • If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

You guys decide. - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 05:26, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, that Forbes piece is authored by a staff writer, so should pass the reliability test. However, most of what's in that source is discussion about the Cavaliers or interview quotes from Barlage's mouth, neither of which contribute to notability. It seems to fall short as far as secondary SIGCOV that directly discusses Barlage as an individual person; the best I could extract from that source is the following:

Barlage, entering his second season as CEO, wants to change that. He has a five-year plan that includes an international component in South America.

Left guide (talk) 06:02, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
BeFriendlyGoodSir is the creator of the contested article.
I would say any full-time NBA GM (although maybe not interim) is likely notable, so could see some people correlating that to any person at the same organizational level if they don't fully understand the difference between the front-facing nature of the GM position against the others.

  • Weak keep I think there's enough here. The Cleveland news stations, Cleveland.com and Cleveland Magazine should be independent enough. The news organizations decided that Barlage was worth reporting about. We can argue whether the content represents a significant amount of coverage, but personally, I'm satisfied. There's enough to build a reasonably informative article. The business leader of an NBA franchise is indeed an important role, and arguably more significant for the ongoing cultural impact of the team than any cup of coffee G-League call-up. Zagalejo (talk) 19:49, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A "cup of coffee G Leaguer" likely has had SIGCOV going back to at least college, in addition to during his professional career and almost certainly has additional features done when signed to the NBA team. As for "cultural impact", I'm really not so sure as he essentially runs the arena prices and advertising because not actually the CEO of the Cavs themselves, but of the parent company. It looks like his current duties don't have really any impact on the on-court product. Best, GPL93 (talk) 12:06, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete since the sources deployed to support notabolity are cumulatively weak enough to not constitute an acceptable foundation for an independent article. We are often impressed with corporate titles and titles are, oftentimes, awarded indeed to amplify a position's importance. He's a top manager; that is all. Not some creative force as the text makes him out to be, provided we pay close attention to the sources per se.
Forensics, amidst the avalanche of proffered links: A tsunami of typical, simple, obligatory announcements (here, here, here, and again here, more here, some more here, oh you want more, here's more and we're done, though there's plenty more; this NBA listing of every NBA executive, including our subject; come fawning text advertorial-wannabe such as this pap, ("Barlage is proud of how the renovated Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse served downtown", etc) in the Cleveland Magazine; as if the first tsunami was not catastrophic enough for the article's case, we are hit by another, this one of articles about the Cleveland Cavaliers but not about our subject, articles such as this, this, this, this, this, but you get the general idea; a PR press release about the Jeff Ubben Posse Fellows Program ("mentorship opportunities for high-achieving college students"), in which our subject is mentioned as one of the program's many hosts; a report on a youth center's renovation financially supported by the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Kaiser Permanente, in which our subject is name dropped; then, more announcements, e.g. here; and so on and so forth, fluff masquerading as substance. -The Gnome (talk) 11:21, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just wanted to chime in: your "fluff" link implies that the article is meant to be promotional, but I have no doubt that it was created in good faith. The creator frequently works on NBA articles, and the over citation was probably an attempt to overcome the article's draft status. (Also, please tone down the snark just a hair. Your arguments are fair, but your tone is unnecessary.) Zagalejo (talk) 18:36, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Both links shared are interviews, so have no bearing on notability. Best, GPL93 (talk) 02:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are you claiming WP:TOOSOON? I would not be surprised if Barlage met your notability requirements in the next year or so and Volunteer time would be wasted and at that point nobody will bother recreating the article. So be it. - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 16:58, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Please note that the Utah TV show in this article is entirely distinct from the Indiana TV show of the same name starring Sammy Terry. The Sammy Terry character was on Indiana TV from 1962 to 1989, occasionally thereafter, continuously makes personal appearances, and still produces web content; Sammy Terry has plenty of reliable sources (print news and at least one book), far beyond what the article currently references. If this article survives, it should be moved to something like Nightmare Theater (Utah), with Nightmare Theater being a redirect to Sammy Terry or a disambiguation page. Vadder (talk) 23:26, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • I would agree that, even if enough sourcing demonstrating notability could be found, the Utah show is not the primary topic. The Indiana show has much more material to work with. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 15:37, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      I did the initial page, and I believe Nightmare Theater (Utah) would be the proper title. This would avoid confusion with all the other Nightmare Theater and Theatres out there. While the show was broadcast on a Salt Lake City station, it was received statewide. Intergalacticlanguage (talk) 16:15, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Five articles about albums not shown to pass WP:NALBUM. Back in the day, Wikipedia's approach to album notability was to extend an automatic inclusion freebie to any album recorded by a notable artist, regardless of its sourcing or lack thereof, in the service of completionist directoryism -- but that's long since been kiboshed, and albums are now independently notable only if they can be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about the album. But four of these five articles are completely unreferenced, and one is referenced solely to a single unreliable source directory listing that isn't support for notability.
It also warrants note that these were all briefly redirected to the band a year and a half ago for lack of independent sourcing, but that was reverted within 24 hours with no actual explanation provided of what the problem with redirecting them was, and they've continued to stand as unreferenced articles ever since, without ever having a whit of GNG-worthy sourcing added to any of them.

I don't think this article in its current state meets WP:NSPORT. Yes we have fixed-gear bicycle, as well as fixed gear racing, but it doesn't seem clear what this one is all about. As they say, two heads are better than one, and here I am to find the community's assessment. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 05:35, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the sport of freestyle fixed gear meets notability. Aside from being featured in Hollywood motion pictures (cited), the very first cycling trick done on film was done on a fixed gear bicycle (this is cited in the article). A fixed gear bike was used in the X Games (in 2001 Trevor Meyer) the premier showcase of Extreme sport. Fixed-gear bicycle article doesn't contain the details or background on the community of people doing tricks on fixed gear bikes. Racing on a fixed gear isn't really related to freestyle (tricks) on a fixed gear; similar to how speed skating isn't related to figure skating.

NGS Names Server doesn't even have it as a "populated place", their wastebasket taxon of geographic names. Searching the coords in Google shows what's maybe a few houses, but without any reliable sources, even a trivial legal recognition, we can't confirm the place meets GEOLAND.
