Contested draft, so we're here. The role has no inherent notability and sourcing found does not establish ANYBIO or the GNG Star Mississippi 20:49, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe that this article should be deleted for the following reasons:
(1) The articles cited aptly profiles Philip Ikeazor amongst other appointees of the President (Ahmed Bola Tinubu) eg https://newswirengr.com/2023/09/16/meet-philip-ikeazor-a-cbn-deputy-governor-nominee-with-over-30-years-of-experience-in-the-financial-services-industry/ and (2)
(2) The Central Bank of Nigeria is a high profile organization, charged with monetary policy and regulating financial services (like the Bank of England and the US Treasury). It's clout, and pedigree is not in doubt. Being appointed Deputy Governor of this bank is quite a high-profile thing, endowing you with instant notability.
(3) He was cited here by Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/person/16567452?embedded-checkout=true) as a former CEO/MD of Keystone Bank(a major Deposit Money Bank in Nigeria)
HIS BIO
In this Youtube Video of the Nigerian Senate proceedings, Ikeazor read out his bio before the Senate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsxJ6lKgEoE. This video channel wasn't Ikeazor's personal youtube channel, but Arise News (Thisday Newspaper's Television channel). His testimony before the Senate is judicially admissible anywhere as credible and under oath. The Senate confirmation was also covered by The Punch Newspapers, which I cited here https://punchng.com/breaking-senate-confirms-cardoso-cbn-gov-four-others-as-deputies/#google_vignette
Most of the bio he read out are verifiable on the following websites: (1)https://businessnews.com.ng/2013/01/31/ikeazor-appointed-keystone-bank-mdceo/ , https://blerf.org/index.php/biography/ikeazor-philip/ and here https://greenwichregistrars.com/board-of-directors/
Finally, Ikeazor has been cited and covered on major independent newspapers and I cited them eg the below link.
https://dailypost.ng/2024/06/28/cbn-mulls-policies-to-tackle-cyber-insecurity-in-nigerian-financial-sector/
I do firmly believe that notability has been established.

This article fails WP:NFCHAR. This character does not rise to the level of significance to warrant a dedicated article. This subject can be sufficiently covered in the parent article on the film. Recommend merging it back in it there. No other character, including more significant ones, have dedicated articles either.

Proposed deletion tag removed on the basis of "several sources" being present. This consists of two primary sources from the British government, an entry in the unreliable Who's Who, the subjects Twitter page and a brief mention of his appointments in a list of British diplomats. Fails WP:BASIC as lacking "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."

  • Keep. Holder of the CVO, a high honour which has generally been considered notable per WP:ANYBIO. They're not handed out in cereal packets. A handful are awarded every year. Confirmation that he was appointed CVO in 2003. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:23, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    ANYBIO provides a "likely" indication of notability provided sufficient in-depth secondary sources are available. As made clear, with regards to WP:ANYBIO, "meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included". ANYBIO does not exempt a subject from the sourcing test. AusLondonder (talk) 16:06, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Also taking a look at your own chart, of the last five AfDs, just one had a clear "keep" result. AusLondonder (talk) 16:17, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Your point is? As far as I'm concerned it's clear WP:COMMONSENSE that anyone considered notable enough by the British Government to receive a high honour (one to two hundred every year in a country of 67 million) should be considered notable enough for Wikipedia. They're not selected at random. They're selected because they're already notable. That's the point of ANYBIO #1, to catch people who are clearly notable but not widely covered in the media. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:52, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The government honouring a government official is hardly a compelling indication of notability. If he's "already notable" then sources meeting WP:BASIC would be easily locatable. He's not a historic figure. AusLondonder (talk) 14:33, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually (my mistake in this instance), the government didn't. The Royal Victorian Order is in the gift of the sovereign, not the government. The vast majority of government officials do not receive high honours; only a small minority. So yes, it's still a good indication of notability. If he's "already notable" then sources meeting WP:BASIC would be easily locatable. I'm sure you're very well aware that that's not really the case. The media generally has little interest in diplomats. Once again, that's largely the point of ANYBIO #1. It balances out people who are notable in real if not especially sexy jobs against media obsession with pop cultural figures. If clauses like this didn't exist then Wikipedia would become ever more focused on pop culture and even less on being a proper encyclopaedia. It's heading in that direction now, sadly, and nominations like this just speed up the rot. He's not a historic figure is a meaningless statement, especially given he's still alive. What does that mean? I assume it simply means you don't think he's notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:27, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I mean he's not a historic figure for whom it is difficult to locate sources. It is quite common for British diplomats to receive honours. I don't think it gives them all a free pass from WP:BASIC. AusLondonder (talk) 15:40, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, only a small minority of diplomats receive high honours (i.e. CBE and above), especially in the modern day. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:26, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I decided to have a look at some British ambassadors to see whether this is accurate. Surprise, surprise, it wasn't. Menna Rawlings, ambassador to France, DCMG CVO. Karen Pierce, ambassador to the US, DCMG. Nigel Casey, ambassador to Russia, CMG MVO. Julia Longbottom, ambassador to Japan, CMG. Jill Gallard, ambassador to Germany, CMG CVO. Martin Harris, ambassador to Ukraine, OBE CMG. Alex Ellis, ambassador to Spain, KCMG. Notice a peculiar pattern here? A walled garden of articles, some with zero secondary sources (completely unacceptable for a BLP), of British diplomats awarded honours by their employer.

Article subject demonstrates extremely limited levels of notability in terms of coverage actually about the group in question. Search online doesn't reveal any extensive coverage to justify a distinct article for it. Suggest therefore this article be redirected to International Socialist Alternative. Rambling Rambler (talk) 19:37, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For context, previous state of article prior to recent edits was sourced with 19 references comprising:
- 11 via self-published blogs or websites of which 8 were the website of Socialist Alternative and other ISA sections and the remaining three self-published pieces by other communist groups. This is a fundamental breach of
WP:SELFPUB and more importantly WP:ABOUTSELF on the grounds that an article must not be primarily based on self-published information.
- 8 independent sources where the majority of them were dead links or didn't actually make any mention of Socialist Alternative yet were being used as inline citations to imply they were (such as this one about COP26 protests[5]).
As a result of this the article, when reduced to the only sources that could be judged suitable for inclusion (and even one of those is questionable) there is extremely limited demonstration of meeting notability requirements for a standalone article.

The article should be redirected to Jets Overhead. Nominating this because my bold redirect was reverted. There is a total lack of reliable sources talking about this album. The only source currently used on the article, Album of the Year, is a user-generated source that should not be used per WP:ALBUMAVOID as it is user-generated content. It previously had Discogs and AllMusic sources on it that I removed as the supporting text was falsely attributing any sort of critical reception to these sources. Discogs is also user-generated so cannot be used, and AllMusic did not even publish a review of the album. Ss112 18:11, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Genocide of Bosniaks in World War II (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 already exists an article on this topic at Chetnik war crimes in World War II#Genocide of Muslims and Croats where the matter is extensively covered with quality sources (Bosniaks at this time were referred to as Muslims). On the other hand, this article has major issues. Much of the content is cherrypicked, unsourced and engaging in WP:SYNTH.

The table of massacres in the casualties and demographics section is unsourced; meanwhile the Chetnik war crimes article discusses the massacres in detailed prose form. It also wrongly implicates the Yugoslav Partisans, a multi-ethnic anti-fascist guerilla movement in genocide. The casualties listed by Žerjavić and Kočović are the totals of Muslims killed in the entirety of Yugoslavia by every faction and all causes, not only victims of genocide.

An alternative could also be to redirect the page to Chetnik war crimes in World War II#Genocide of Muslims and Croats as "Genocide of Bosniaks in World War II" is a plausible title. Griboski (talk) 18:01, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. While you do make a good point that the casualties section for the individual massacres needs sources, it is very clear that those are copied from the already existing article on the list of massacres in Yugoslavia in World War II. This can be fairly easily fixed by adding the necessary source tags. Also, how and where does the article imply that the Yugoslav Partisans engaged in genocide / massacres? The only given perpetrators are the Chetniks, and I don’t see anywhere else in the article them being listed, except for a few incidents in 1941 where they did indeed engage in massacres when they were still temporarily aligned with the Chetniks. Aliy Dawut (talk) 19:11, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that it discusses the Partisans is a minor thing. The bigger issue is that it doesn't make sense to have two articles discussing the same topic. --Griboski (talk) 19:44, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well if you care to re-review the page, I removed several unsourced massacres and massacres that were NOT committed solely by the Chetniks. I do not believe a simple and flexible issue like this justifies deletion of an article that cites 21 RS Aliy Dawut (talk) 19:49, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP1E. Per WP:CRIMINAL, "a person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article", unless "the motivation/execution of the crime... is a well-documented historic event". In this case, none of the reliable sources suggest any historic, social or otherwise serious significance to his 4-day robbery spree from 2016 [6].

This academic book co-authored by Vukovich in which he was "given a chance to tell" his own story alongside 7+ felons is not secondary, independent of the subject or primarily about him. At best, this case could become one sentence at Vigilantism in the United States#Other_episodes. Badbluebus (talk) 17:26, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. With regard to WP:CRIMINAL, the key word here is separate article. We don't have an article on the crime so that doesn't apply, this is not a "separate article" of anything.
I'm not going to vote keep because all the later sources are either bad (all that's interesting, thoughtnova or those weird seo article type things) or just "police said this" or his sentencing announcement without further commentary which isn't great. Just want to correct that. The least bad source is the Anchorage Daily Times ones but overall the sourcing here is very low quality.

About that, the guideline says that "Where there are no appropriate existing articles [about the crime itself], the criminal or victim in question should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies", citing the standards about historical significance or victim relevance. So I believe it applies to this page. Badbluebus (talk) 20:41, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have been unable to find significant coverage of the song in reliable sources, as required by WP:NSONG. The Promotion section is sourced to a self-published database of Runrig set lists and performance dates and other citations are to the charts. This article should be redirected to Runrig discography, where its chart performance is already documented.

For the most part, we don't list these based on ethnic affiliation. Essentially this is just copied from already existing articles: List of mass executions and massacres in Yugoslavia during World War II and List of massacres in the Bosnian War. Griboski (talk) 16:51, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean we don’t list these based on ethnic affiliation for the most part? List of massacres of Turkish people? List of massacres of Armenians? List of massacres of Azerbaijanis?
As for your second point, I mean you could argue any duplicate / identical information across articles is copied? This list focuses solely on Bosniaks, so I believe it deserves its own article, as did the curation page. Nevertheless, that does not warrant for deletion an article that cites 25 RS Aliy Dawut (talk) 19:45, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yet there's no list for Albanians, Croats, Serbs, Macedonians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Russians, Ukrainians, and so on. My view is that we shouldn't be going down that road when most of them are already listed by conflict or country. --Griboski (talk) 20:18, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok… I understand your personal view on the matter but again I don’t think that is enough to justify deleting an article that cites multiple RS and passed Wikipedia curation standards fairly quickly. Why not try and address concerns on the talk page instead of immediately attempting to delete an entire article? Aliy Dawut (talk) 20:28, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Previous AfD closed as no consensus, but should have closed as delete given AfD is not a simple headcount, with strength of argument supposed to account for something. Two editors favoured deleting, and two favoured keeping (including the creator, who cited the unreliable Who's Who as a keep rationale). Source analysis in previous AfD established Jones lacks significant coverage specifically about him in multiple published secondary sources and therefore fails WP:BASIC. The current article has not been improved since last AfD and instead still consists of three sources which do not contribute to notability. Ambassadors are not inherently notable and do not get a free pass from notability requirements. AusLondonder (talk) 13:11, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. (WP:NACTOR) The person has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. - At least in Israel it was defined as an innovative film in that the entire script is one long song, with almost all the dialogue written in rhymes and accompanied by musical instruments. [2]
  2. WP:MUSICBIO Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart. - (If I understand correctly), one of his songs won tenth place in one of the Hebrew song charts in 2016.[3]
  3. WP:MUSICBIO Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability. - One of the leading rappers in Israel, certainly in the field of Poetry slam (he founded Poetry slam Israel).[4]
  4. WP:MUSICBIO Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, such as a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album. - Appeared and created the movie "This City"', appeared in "Plaot" (2013), "HaMora LeAnglit" (2019) and also appeared in the series "HaHanut SheYesh Ba Hakol" (2020-2021)[5].

Also why divert scarce labour from the war effort? Also according to the talk page the numbers are wrong.

Comment: Did a teeny bit more searching, noting small amount of coverage here. Mrfoogles (talk) 06:23, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]


I disagree with the nomination for deletion.

Strum has co-written two songs on popular 00s albums - Come and Get it by Rachel Stevens and Still Standing by Kylie Minogue in addition to the single, Why Not Us? by Monrose.

Under Notability (music), Strum therefore qualifies under the criteria: 'Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition.'

In addition, Strum is eligible for inclusion under the criteria as a performer: 'Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.' 'Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).' ('Addicted' was released by Warner Bros. major label release - https://open.spotify.com/artist/49DJil4JyZdW8Upoilkfom?si=uoQw-rvcTSOKuvGOyykJkw - her second album 'Cocoon' was also a major label recording, which was shelved and has now been released and distributed on an 'independent label with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable - https://open.spotify.com/album/7vNUTEQtnCVWel68cxx5sC?si=fMuK_Zl5Q1mgtyt1TSqOAQ and https://hmv.com/store/music/cd/cocoon)

Her listing is incomplete, but she is featured on the UK Official Charts Company website: https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/alexis-strum/

In addition, she has released two albums as a recording artist, which are widely available on all streaming platforms, with 8.3k monthly streams on Spotify.

She is also eligible for inclusion under: 'Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, such as a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read the policy and notability guideline on subjects notable only for one event, for further clarifications).'

Go My Own Way was the theme tune to the 'network television show' Vital Signs (TV Show) in the UK, which aired on ITV, starring Tamzin Outhwaite.

She is also eligible for inclusion under: 'Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.'

The music video for Bad Haircut featured Tom Ellis and was aired on The Box and MTV Hits, and has over 100,000 views on YoUTube.

Not Sure: I updated existing references and added some additional ones. It looks like the band was active 2008-2015 and then again in 2018 with Vantine and others. For the reformed band in 2018, the references I found list different people than the article originally named (I changed the article to reflect what's in the sources). The originally named people are in pictures that are part of the article but I can't find any sources that link them directly to "The Fleeting Ends". There is coverage of this band in the local Philly outlets that cover indie bands, it's more limited outside - I see some newspaper articles that announced tour dates and the Popmatters magazine article about a release in 2018.

  • Comment to the objection that “there are sources” my response as nominator is that I don’t doubt that the subject is the author of multiple books. What there is not is anything that demonstrates notability. We don’t allow bio articles sourced almost entirely to online shopping sites with dead links. In addition not a single detail of the subject’s life is even verifiable based on the refs in the article or anything else I can find in English. I don’t think it’s acceptable to retain an entirely unverified bio on the strength of a claim that “there are sources.” Mccapra (talk) 06:11, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I tend to agree with the advice in the essay linked in the nomination. If we're going to write about kids, we need to be careful. Relevant to the present case are the admonishments, Students are not notable prodigies for their performance as students, no matter how advanced they are in their work, and Prodigious children who demonstrate skill in mathematics or science are expected to have published works on a par with their notable adult academic peers. Another pertinent concern is the general idea of not having a whole article about a person only known for one thing. Only one event has been covered with any degree of reliability, namely his admission into NYU, and that's being very generous to the silly season reporting. On the whole, I'm just not seeing a notability case that is strong enough to outweigh the concerns here. XOR'easter (talk) 20:13, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not distinguish Virtualization development from the concept of virtualization. It was recently changed from a redirect to an article by moving material from timeline of virtualization development, but unfortunately that material does not seem to make it at all clear what the subject matter of this article is intended to be. I would guess from the title it is the use of virtual machines for software development, or the development of virtual machines but I don't think either of these merit their own article at it is also not at all discussed in the article as it stands. It also appears to largely consist of WP:OR, and notability cannot be established since it's unclear what the article is about in the first place. I would propose it be merged into Virtualization but I don't think there's anything in the article worth moving at this time. 🌸wasianpower🌸 (talkcontribs) 03:40, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment At least some Finnish-language coverage exists, with e.g. these two pieces by by Yle Uutiset discussing his troubles in the 2023 Budapest world championships at length: [20], [21]. The same event was covered by e.g. Ilta-Sanomat [22]. That said, I'd view these as essentially one piece of newswork for notability purposes. Other than that, it's mostly your bog-standard sports coverage [23], or tiny local newspapers [24]. There is a piece by Aamulehti [25], but it's paywalled and I can't say whether it's just the standard "we interviewed an athlete" fare that contributes little-to-nothing towards notability, or something more extensive. Iltalehti has a short piece about him retiring [26], but it's quite a short piece with lots of quotes. All told, not the worst coverage I've seen, but neither is it anything that would make this a slam dunk in my eyes. I'd feel much more comfortable coming down on the keep side of the fence if there was at least one more solid non-interview piece in relation to something else than the Budapest events. Based on my (very brief) search, I'm rather ambivalent. -Ljleppan (talk) 16:00, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll just emphasize here, as both Habst and Alvaldi have referenced these news pieces in their !votes: I think the Finnish-language coverage is weak. The strongest pieces of content (Budapest troubles) are less about the subject and more about the events in which he got involved in: they say fairly little about Ojala himself, and thus do little to establish the notability of Ojala. Similarly, most of the other stories are either wholly or in large part interviews, i.e. the subject talking about themself. To my understanding, these have been traditionally held to have little-to-no value for establishing notability. Yes, there is coverage relating to the subject, but there is little independent coverage about the subject in specific. There is no encyclopedic value in a quote of the subject saying they had a tough competition at some event or another, and they plan to train hard in the future. Ljleppan (talk) 06:51, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ljleppan, I greatly respect your contributions to this discussion and have thought about what you said. I do disagree with your assessment about the Finnish sources. For example, in [27] it's mentioned in the free preview that his "life will change" (translated) due to his retirement. Surely life-changing events are worth covering if a news organization deems it fit to write an article about it? In addition, the subject is specifically the sole topic of coverage. Re: interviews, I don't agree with that assessment. I've spoken with other experienced editors about interviews and they can actually have substantial value in establishing notability. For an interesting admin comment about interviews, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pietro Farina (athlete). I also wouldn't anticipate the type of quotes mentioned to be in the retirement article, because it's about his retirement so he wouldn't have to train for anything in the future. Thanks, --Habst (talk) 12:14, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Habst: the significant problem with Urjalan Sanomat in specific is that it's a hyperlocal newspaper, serving a municipality of approximately 4.5k people. Having a piece (notably, of unknown length and depth as it's paywalled) about someone in it is hardly indicative of any kind of meaningful notability. Ljleppan (talk) 14:45, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And I might as well mark myself down as a weak delete for now, absent further sourcing that provides intellectually independent and significant coverage about the article subject in specific. Ljleppan (talk) 14:50, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ljleppan, thanks for the response. I think that point is valid when the story is only circulated in physical print, but the Urjalan Sanomat is an online article so the potential audience is much wider. Also, just because we don't have access to a source doesn't mean it can't be used to assert notability; per WP:NEXISTS, simply knowing that sources must exist is enough to assert the notability of a subject and keep an article. --Habst (talk) 14:55, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This misrepresents the point of WP:NEXISTS: it points out that the notability-establishing sources do not necessarily need to be located in the article. But simply pointing at a paywalled article you have no access to (as far as I can see) is not sufficient: someone needs to be able to actually access the source and provide an assessment of whether it is the type of content we generally view as notability-indicative. Otherwise it is merely an unsupported assertion. Ljleppan (talk) 15:02, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ljleppan, I don't think that interpretation of WP:NEXISTS is backed up by the text or idea of the policy. Yes, sources don't need to be in the article – but that's simply not the only application of NEXISTS. Per Wikipedia policty the mere possibility of sources existing – a bar which I think has both been passed and not sufficiently rebutted in this case – must be considered by editors in deletion discussions. So of course, if paywalled articles can be found that are clearly solely about the subject, they should be considered regardless of whether we have access right now on the basis that a future editor could use it. I've seen articles about award winners kept in the past based on the fact that typically winners of their award have plaques written about them as part of the award, and that plaque could count as SIGCOV despite us not actually having a picture or the text of the plaque.
    With great respect, I would be eager to strike any unsupported assertions I've made because I think it's important to discuss based on facts. I don't think it's appropriate to imply that another editor would do that without pointing to a specific statement that is both asserted and unsupported. --Habst (talk) 14:32, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Please note that there is no policy that disqualifies local coverage from counting towards notability. Proposals to reject local sources from showing a subjects notability was last rejected in 2018. Alvaldi (talk) 17:31, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I was very surprised by the depth of coverage found above thanks to hard work of Geschichte and Ljleppan. I think any argument to delete needs to directly rebut the 13 sources found in this discussion. For example, the recent retirement article I would say is significant, independent, and reliable to challenge @Prof.PMarini in particular. --Habst (talk) 19:29, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    First of all, you have to admit that the sources Ljleppan listed would not appear in a customary WP:BEFORE search. He/she himself said that despite the sources found it "would not make a slam dunk" and he/she is "ambivalent." Plus, the sources still do not quite meet WP:SIGCOV about the subject of the article, Athletics World is focused on the doctor and just mentions Ojala; yle.fi was cited three times, but they are a mix of interviews, so may count as primary source, not useful as proof of notability. So my comment is still a Weak Delete at best. And anyway, I am just participating in a discussion and would not in any way take it personally if the consensus happens to not be the same as what my interpretation of the matter is. Additional edit: Plus, I only read English Wikipedia. If Geschichte had to search in Swedish to find sources, perhaps it is better wriiten in the Swedish Wikipedia and later translated. If readers and editors need to expend so much effort to prove a subject's notability, maybe the subject is not notable enough. Prof.PMarini (talk) 02:01, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I've added a comment above expanding my view on the Finnish language sources (they are rather weak, in my view), but I'll just note here that there is no requirement for sources to be in English. See WP:GNG, stating "Sources may encompass published works in (...) in any language." and "Sources do not have to be (...) written in English.", as well as WP:NONENG. Ljleppan (talk) 06:54, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Prof.PMarini, thanks for engaging, I think this type of discussion is what makes Wikipedia better. First of all, you have to admit that the sources Ljleppan listed would not appear in a customary WP:BEFORE search. -- I don't agree with this assessment, in Ljleppan's own words their search was "very brief". A WP:BEFORE should be able to catch any sources found in a very brief search. I think that the sources do meet the bar for SIGCOV -- I have looked extensively into Wikipedia policy on interviews in the past, and I've concluded that according to policy, they actually do not count as primary sources if they are published by news organizations because the news organizations have editorial processes and are staking their reputations on the veracity of the claims. There is no Wikipedia policy that says that interviews cannot contribute to establishing notability. Thanks, --Habst (talk) 12:24, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Regarding "[interviews] actually do not count as primary sources if they are published by news organizations because the news organizations have editorial processes and are staking their reputations on the veracity of the claims," this is blatantly incorrect. News organizations printing "X said that Y" does not indicate the news organization is vouching for the claims Y, but that X indeed claimed Y. Ljleppan (talk) 14:57, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ljleppan, that may or may not always play out in the off-wiki world, but according to Wikipedia policy that statement is certainly correct. I'm not referring to when cases where a newspaper gets a quote from someone – that's not an interview article but merely reporting that someone said something. An interview article is something more like that in the Pietro Farina case, where the article is written as a transcript as if the interviewee had written the article, without contextual framing around every quote.
    Per Geschichte's comment, there are many non-interview articles in this case anyways, so the point is kind of moot. --Habst (talk) 14:40, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Interviews are almost always primary sources w/r/t to the content directly attributed to the person being interviewed, as is the plain reading of "accounts (..) by people who are directly involved" and as is explained in the footnote stating "Further examples of primary sources include: (..) interviews", both from WP:PRIMARY. Interview articles can also include non-primary content by the journalist who authored the article (this is normal, almost all non-tertiary content is primary-in-part), but not all content in it is categorically primary. Ljleppan (talk) 21:25, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think we agree, then, except for Interviews are almost always primary sources. It simply depends on context and framing, and I've not seen any evidence that the sources presented in this AfD are "solely primary" interviews. --Habst (talk) 22:06, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Marini - I searched in Swedish because Swedish is an official language of Ojala's country of origin. The YLE articles are not interviews though they contain quotes among other things. The comments about "expending effort" seem subjective and have little to do with policy as I see it. Geschichte (talk) 15:29, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting as there are comments to this discussion that have been made within the past hour. I'd also like to echo the request that editors arguing to Delete engage with the sources brough up in this discussion. Some editors have done this (thank you!) but all editors saying the sourcing is inadequate should review sources that have been found.

  • Delete no sources at all. Xegma(talk) 05:02, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete: I can find several interviews with master inventors, and material from IBM, but the closest I could find to significant independent coverage is this article [28], which gives some background but is mostly about a single master inventor. But without at least one more source I don't think we have anything for an article. Plus, the level of detail currently in the article suggests it was written by an IBM insider and/or based on IBM (i.e. non-independent) sources.

I propose this article for deletion because there are many, many, many "sources" but which are often profiles and biographies sometimes written by the artist himself and anonymous users, the sourcing is horrible and it is difficult to find your way around, if the article is eligible it is absolutely necessary to rework the sourcing, I tried to improve it, but... SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 23:43, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also a lot of these "sources" come from databases like AllMusic, are there any press articles or better quality elements? SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 01:10, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, although it happens articles older than 6 months are not supposed to be moved to draft so if it is kept it needs to be fixed while in mainspace, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 19:40, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sourcing on this article is a mess. Far, far too many citations to sources that don't help with notability, which makes assessing it very difficult. I have gone through every single reference and found exactly one that in my opinion shows notability: Soultracks bio, which looks like an independent and in-depth biography. Doing a search, I have found: Hot Hits book, a little snippet; Charisma and Christian Life, a frustratingly obscured piece that looks to be mostly about an album but I can't be sure. The second source Atlantic306 has noted is an interview, which cannot contribute to notability (sorry).
In short, based on the sources I could find, delete. It feels like there should be enough RS somewhere out there, but they're not in the article and I can't find enough to say keep. Atlantic306, do you have access to any offline sources that are pushing you towards keep? He seems like he ought to be notable...maybe some of his albums are notable and we could redirect? StartGrammarTime (talk) 07:45, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I don't have access to any offline sources but there are quite a few book results in a google search which I cant assess unfortunately as either its a small snippet given or none at all. Reviews of his music do count towards notability so I would include the reviews on CrossRythmns and on AllMusic (the paragraph ones, not the single sentence ones), imv Atlantic306 (talk) 19:55, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NACADEMIC. He worked for some important organizations in non-major roles. I see no sign of any influential scientific publication of his on a reputable journal, or any terminal degree for that matter. This looks more like a resume of a postgraduate student than anything else. Badbluebus (talk) 00:21, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, creation of page was due to unusual and niche academic field of minority religions in prison, which is the topic of his first publication due for release in 2024. His terminal degree was completed at Birkbeck Dept. Of Psychosocial Studies but I can’t find a citation for this so I didn’t include. On the ‘non major roles point’ - understood, but he held the role ‘Head of Policy’ for HMPPS in 2023 which feels notable? Apols if I’ve made it sound like an advert JapaneseWoodblocks (talk) 10:10, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi thanks for making this page. If I can make the case a bit more: is a nascent academic but in a niche and unusual field of writing about Norse paganism in prison which distinguishes his contribution and his first publication is a book chapter with Bloomsbury coming out in December.
He sits on various policy and governance boards for national organisations including charities (Traveller movement) and the Magistrate’s association. I know he sits on several more including the Uni of Sheffield but can’t cite this.
I don’t want it to read like an advert, just an encyclopaedia entry for a niche academic who works at the intersections of religion and penology. JapaneseWoodblocks (talk) 10:20, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
