Timeline of Pokémon

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article, I believe, fails standards immensely. There is no inclusion criteria for this list, for a start, and with a franchise as large as Pokémon, it's unclear what makes the cut. Should releases of games be included? Release dates for consoles that host these games? When merchandising and crossovers are announced or released? Should anniversaries be commemorated? Should associated companies that are relevant have important fixtures included? I could go on, but this timeline is very indiscriminate in what it includes, and thus is very unhelpful to readers, as there is no clear idea of what is actually important to the franchise's history, whether it be in terms of release information or otherwise. Additionally, this timeline only covers major dates, and no actual historical background. This information is covered at the main Pokémon article already in far greater depth, with notable releases and developments covered there. There are already several infoboxes with release schedules for important subgroups as well that can be used at other articles with far greater aid to readability. Given all relevant info is covered at the parent article, and this list itself is incredibly unwieldy and impossible to properly organize/categorize in any context, this list feels incredibly unhelpful and redundant to readers.

Reviewed during NPP. No evidence of wp:notability under SNG or GNG. Tagged by others for this since February. I preferred to pass this one, and do give orgs like this some slack but don't see how I could pass this while doing the NPP job properly. Has not even a fraction of even 1 GNG reference. Of the 8 references, 5 are themselves including one of their board member's linked-in page. Two of the other three are announcements of an event, and one was an announcement of their appointment of their COE. Could not find anything better in a search.

List of Joe Biden 2024 presidential campaign endorsements

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Endorsements in modern politics is just people saying "I'll vote for X in the next elections!", and nothing more. This is like having a list "List of Star Trek fans", just in a political topic instead of pop culture. To detail it further:

Endorsements are not part of the electoral process, nor are they required in any way. People endorsing candidates do not have to go through a special process to do so, they are not selected (anyone being interviewed by the press may endorse a candidate if he wants), and may un-endorse candidates (and even endorse the opposing candidate) at any point.
Endorsers are not bound to their endorsements other than in their credibility. Someone may endorse candidate X, but if candidate Y wins, nothing stops him from suddenly becoming a vocal supporter of Y. And of course, as the vote is secret, people may vote someone different than the one they endorsed, and nobody would ever know it.
Endorsements do not have value in themselves. One man, one vote. When voting hours are over and we start counting, the vote of Elon Mush or Noam Chomsky have the same value than that of the regular Joe crossing the street.

Endorsements may still be relevant elsewhere in Wikipedia, such as in "Political positions of X" articles or sections, but a list of people that endorsed someone? That sounds a lot like trivia. Cambalachero (talk) 17:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ovation Music Festival

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No evidence that this music festival meets WP:GNG. There is no sourcing on the page, and the only sources I can find on Google are self-published and promotional websites, along with WP:NOTRSMUSIC sources like Setlist.fm and random blogs. All I can find that comes anywhere close to notability is that popular Canadian artists performed at the festival, but just because multiple performers on the bill charted and went platinum does not mean this festival inherits notability.

China (Superleague Formula team)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Also nominated for this same reason.

Unnecessary WP:CFORK of teams that never was independently notable and existed solely to the short-lived series, serving to only the most ardent fans per WP:FANCRUFT as a Wikiproject taskforce was active for it. Worthy of Fandom maybe (nothing wrong with it for those who ask) but then the series has been long gone 13 years ago. WP:BEFORE search don’t turn out much other than announcements, if they still exist. Other than routine maintenances, article do not appear to be updated after 2010, indicating their significance are pretty thin.

Also fail WP:SIGCOV as sources, if there is any or are WP:PRIMARY, focuses too heavily on the series; If not, are announcment of driver signings or focuses on the driver. Like the series, nothing about it is notable either other than the teams operating them. Insufficiently notable WP:GNG to help either. All of those above are also nominated for this same reason.

Comment There's bunch of brief mentions in older Finnish newspapers (accessed via National Archives of Finland's digital archive):

Helsingin Sanomat, 9 May 1975 - mentioned a few times in standard post-event coverage together with other participants.
Etelä-Suomen Sanomat, 31 May 1976 - same, a few passing mentions
Etelä-Suomen Sanomat, 22 January 1978 - elected as the chair of the Salpausselkä Motor Club, given some awards. Very short piece.
Etelä-Suomen Sanomat, 30 August 1976 - event coverage, wins bronze in Turku.
Etelä-Suomen Sanomat, 19 September 1974 - briefly mentioned as the "best driver in the series".

I didn't survey all the hits, but the best appears to be a profile/interview in Etelä-Suomen Sanomat on 1 September 1977 (link, requires a researcher account), a bit more than a quarter of a (broadsheet) page in size. Interestingly, it also features a (very cropped) image of an English language news story titled "Markku provides bright spot" by Ken Gaunt, apparently from either Speedway Mail or Leicester Mercury, both of which we are told have featured him.

Based on the coverage I have access to, I'm personally rather ambivalent. That said, if someone can actually find the English language coverage mentioned in the Finnish papers and verify they are of reasonable depth, I suspect this would lean towards keep for me. -Ljleppan (talk) 09:59, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. With the additional Finnish sources and the lack of explaination as to why Who's Who of World Speedway would count a as a primary source, I'm leaning towards keep. /Julle (talk) 17:25, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Who's who of world speedway appears to be written by rider Ivan Mauger, as a rider he has a direct connection to the sport and may even know personally many of the riders covered in his book. From WP:PSTS: Primary sources are original materials that are close to an event, and are often accounts written by people who are directly involved. LibStar (talk) 03:42, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Lion Air Group destinations

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NOT, WP:NCORP, WP:NLIST.

WP:NOT is failed because this is a complete listing of the services of a company. As such it is excluded under WP:NOTCATALOG no. 6 which states that "Listings to be avoided include [...] products and services". It is also an indiscriminate listing - all destinations ever flown to, however briefly, are listed without any attempt to summarise them which is against WP:IINFO.

WP:NCORP (which applies to the services of companies as well as the companies themselves) is failed because none of the sources here are independent, third-party, reliable sources. This article is sourced entirely to the company website, press releases, old timetables, the Aeroroutes.com/Routesonline.com blogs, and run-of-the-mill news reports based on company announcements and press-releases. The website and other company publications are clearly not independent of the topic, nor are articles based on company statements/press-releases since they are written entirely using material from the airline. The fact that the sourcing here is also a total WP:REFBOMB only points to the degree to which this is original research in primary sources, synthesising them to produce this list.

WP:NLIST is failed because there is not a single, independent, reliable, 3rd-party source here giving significant coverage to the subject of Lion Air Group's destinations as a group. At best what we have here are, again, articles based on press-releases and company statements, without fact-checking. FOARP (talk) 11:45, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback on the article about the "West Bengal Centralised Admission Portal. I believe the portal plays a significant role in modernizing the admission process for government colleges in West Bengal. It ensures greater transparency, accessibility, and efficiency for thousands of students annually. Additionally, the portal has received considerable recognition from government and media sources, highlighting its transformative impact on the state's education system. I will enhance the article with additional citations and details to better reflect its importance.

Pakistan Muslim League

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is confusing because it is about a group of political parties under same or similar name. Its infobox says it was established by Ayub Khan in 1962. But Khan didn’t establish Pakistan Muslim League. He established Convention Muslim League. Pakistan Muslim League is the name of another political party existed from 1947 to 1958. By naming this Pakistan Muslim League, we are creating confusion because the article is about a group of political parties. In that sense, there is no need for the existance of this article. we can merge it into related articles, or we can merge it to List of Muslim League breakaway groups because this article, talks about parties under same/similar name, actually came from Pakistan Muslim League and we already have an article about it (Muslim League (1947–1958)). This article has only three sources. And the page gives us an idea that it is an single political party. It looks like WP:OR and it would be best to merge it into Muslim League (1947–1958) or List of Muslim League breakaway groups or redirect it to Muslim League.

Keep: Sources 2 and 5 talks about part of the station's history and programming. Source 3, 6 and 7 talk about part of its programming. That said, the article is good enough to pass WP:GNG with the reliable sources indicated (except Source 4, which is just a blog). ASTIG 😎🙃 13:09, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Source 2 is a WP:SELFPUBLISHED blog. Source 3 is a promo for a music event that has a single WP:TRIVIALMENTION of a former DJ for the station. Source 5 is a profile of a former DJ that has a single passing mention of the station. Source 6 is likewise a single passing mention. Source 7 is WP:PROMO for an event the station is taking part in, not independent coverage. In sum, not a single source qualifies for WP:GNG. ~~Furthermore, the stricter WP:NCORP is the test the applies here, not GNG.~~ Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:11, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's unfair and unjust to apply WP:NCORP for radio/TV stations. Broadcast companies and organizations do go under the said guideline, not the stations they own and/or operate. Since WP:BCAST has been long ditched as a guideline, WP:GNG should at most apply for broadcast stations. My keep stands. ASTIG 😎🙃 10:03, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments/Question Competing at the Olympics is no longer sufficient to show WP notability, especially when you're badly beaten in the opening round (54-21). A bronze medal at the European championships doesn't meet any SNG and his semi-final bout was stopped in the second round of the fight (where he lost to someone who lost in the second round of the Olympics). The coverage of his bronze medal was just coverage of the results of the Lithuanian boxers in the event. His short listing in the Lithuanian Sports Encyclopedia is more of a database entry than an article. Being a crime victim doesn't make him WP notable, either. Since he fails WP:NOLY and WP:NBOX, he needs to meet WP:GNG. I don't read Lithuanian, but I can use Google translate. Can someone please point me to the coverage that shows he meets WP:GNG?

Article about a shortlived (2007-09) magazine, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing inclusion criteria for media. The only notability claim on offer here is that it existed, which is not an automatic inclusion freebie in and of itself -- the magazine would have to be shown to have received third-party coverage about it in sources other than itself to pass WP:GNG, but the only "reference" here is its own self-published content about itself rather than independent validation of its significance.

Fails WP:NSONG on all counts: Did not chart, did not win any awards, and is unlikely to grow beyond stub status. This can be adequately covered in a few sentences at Tenacious D#Spicy Meatball Tour, Trump comment and hiatus (2023–present). 162 etc. (talk) 04:08, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:35, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The song has been the primary subject of multiple independent published works; the article itself already has three, and a quick Google search yields at least four more. As the primary concern here is notability, and the article's subject passes a WP:BEFORE check, it's not suitable for deletion.

Weak keep as I am convinced the article could be improved by the additional sources found above that are from different outlets, although they are pretty repetitive in terms of content, and if it wasn't the band's first new song in five years, this song probably wouldn't be notable or very relevant.

Asasey Hotel attack

Fails WP:NEVENT no lasting coverage. Cannot find any coverage of the event after July except for trivial one line mentions in articles discussing other attacks. Closest thing I could find was this: https://www.kormeeraha.com/2021/03/12/canadian-school-renamed-after-hodan-nalayeh/ but it is about a victim more than the attack.

Unfortunately hotel attacks are a common incident in Somalia and just aren't very notable. Could be merged into Hodan Nalayeh, al-Shabaab, or the Somali civil war Traumnovelle (talk) 04:17, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and do not merge. Hotel attacks are not a common incident in Somalia just as school shootings are not in the United States, despite what is suggested from news coverage. An attack in which 25+ people are killed is not WP:ROUTINE and there was international news coverage of the attack in global RS including FT, NYT, CNN, AP, BBC, Reuters, etc. More than enough coverage to establish WP:GEOSCOPE, WP:DEPTH, and WP:GNG for WP:NEVENT.

@Longhornsg But not WP:SUSTAINED which is one of the more important aspects in WP:NEVENT. There is nothing after a month. Death toll is not notability, plenty of even higher casualty attacks are not notable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:
A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:
1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

  The review notes: "The reasoned reflection on Howard contained in Faultlines is also a strength, and contrasts with the increasingly shrill discourse that otherwise characterises debates about Howard and his legacy. Interestingly, the moderate and reasoned tones of the Megalogenis critique contrast with the message of some of Bill Leak's cartoons in the book. Faultlines is a political book, notwithstanding its occasional personal reflections. And it is useful and timely, arriving when there is a hint that the Howard era might be coming to an end and that a new generation of leaders (including some generation W people, no doubt) will emerge to take up the cudgels to further modernise Australia."

  The review notes: "Such insights, along with the numerous references throughout the book to "senior" party sources, lend Faultlines an insider-flavoured account familiar to the journalistic mode of commentary (one would not expect anything less from Megalogenis, a respected senior feature writer and former Canberra press gallery journalist from The Australian). But Faultlines does contain some flaws. The argument that Generation W holds more progressive social values and is pro-republic, republic and refugees, for instance, seems amiss, even according to Megalogenis's own account. ... Another contentious part of Megalogenis's thesis concerns his argument about the nascent political power of Generation W."

  The review notes: "Megalogenis is interested in where the country is headed, "beyond the fog of politics". He's unafraid to talk of race in a way you could imagine a Greek-Australian whose boyhood was spent in inner-city Melbourne schools during the 1970s, might be. "Debate will resume when Howard departs," he states. On matters relating to the complexities facing women in their professions and as mothers, Megalogenis is a must."

  The review notes: "Given access to previously unpublished census data, as well as leaked polling information from the major political parties, Megalogenis has applied his own economic and political skills and insights to present a revealing if not always flattering portrait of contemporary Australia. In Faultlines: Race, Work and the Politics of Changing Australia (Scribe, $30rrp, out now), Megal-ogenis says the realities of Australian life are different to the 'truths' being fed to us by politicians and the media."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Faultlines to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

List of Cubana de Aviación destinations

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NOT, WP:NCORP.

WP:NOT is failed because this is a complete listing of the services of a company. As such it is excluded under WP:NOTCATALOG no. 6 which states that "Listings to be avoided include [...] products and services". It is also an indiscriminate listing - all destinations ever flown to, however briefly,. are listed without any attempt to summarise them which is against WP:IINFO.

WP:NCORP (which applies to the services of companies as well as the companies themselves) is failed because none of the sources here are independent, third-party, reliable sources. This article is entirely sourced either to the company website or to run-of-the-mill articles based on company press-releases and statements and trade-press coverage. Additionally, many of the links are 404, making them fail verifiability - indeed one is actually a link to what appears to be a review of the film Cars 3.

The overwhelming majority of destinations listed here are listed as "Terminated" so this list is also un-necessary, and already adequately covered by the sentence "Cubana operates flights to over 20 destinations in Cuba, Europe, the Caribbean, North, Central and South America" in the main article. To the extent that there is any encyclopaedic interest in Cubana's previous destinations, this is already covered by the page History of Cubana de Aviación. This page is therefore entirely redundant.

Comment As I said in other deletion discussions regarding airline destinations, in the case of mass removal of these articles I will quit Wikipedia for good. I have neither the time nor the will to discuss this over and over again.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 21:14, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:IINFO. As the flag carrier of Cuba, Cubana de Aviación certainly has a unique history, and it is entirely appropriate to discuss the development of its route network over time, which people have done in the parent article. What I cannot support is a list of every single city this airline has flown to since it was established almost a century ago. I see no need for us to document that at one point in its existence Cubana flew to some random destination that appears in its 1949 timetable. Such a list falls outside the scope of our encyclopedia.
As a side note the link mentioned above can be found in the Internet Archive where it leads to an article about Cubana flights to Martinique. Sunnya343 (talk) 01:53, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per repeated precedent. The closure of the most recent one I remember cited Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive296#Mass deletion of pages - question of protocol, Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 141#RFC: Should Wikipedia have lists of transportation service destinations?, Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 140#Should Wikipedia have and maintain complete lists of airline destinations?, Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Airports/Archive 15#Request for comments on the Airlines and destinations tables and Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 187#RfC on the "Airlines and destinations" tables in airport articles in determining that there is no consensus for deletion. In the AfD review the "no consensus" close was endorsed, a number of paths forward were suggested to those trying to delete these articles to establish a new consensus. Instead, it seems that these disruptive nominations are continuing. Worth noting that there was yet another discussion about Aeroflot destinations also earlier this year which resulted in keep. Do we have to keep doing this? Avgeekamfot (talk) 15:09, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The last ten AFDs on Airline destination lists have all closed as delete/merge (see here), and roughly 2/3rd of the Airline destination lists that were ever created (~300 out of ~470) have now been deleted. Well-attended AFDs included this one deleting 120 airline destination articles and this one deleting 82 airline destination articles. Two of these deletion discussions were also endorsed on review.

Moreover discussions about what lists to include on Airport articles are pretty irrelevant to an article that is not an Airport article, and a no-consensus close cannot be used to assert a consensus in favour of any particular outcome. FOARP (talk) 09:03, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This article includes the statement: "Frankfurt is currently a terminated destination for the airline". This appears to be based on a comparison of primary sources (a listing of destinations in the 1996 World Airline Directory - a sort of Yellow Pages for airlines, and a listing of destinations in a drop-down menu on the Cubana website from 2010). How is this kind of synthesis of primary sources to reach a conclusion that neither states not original research?

The reality is, this isn't a defensible statement, because there's a number of different explanations as to why an airline might have had a destination listed in a directory in 1996 but not be offering that service in 2010. These include an error in the original listing, the Frankfurt service being planned but never actually started, and the Frankfurt service still operating in 2010 but not being listed by mistake. Moreover since no date is given for the list, the implication is that this service is still not being offered now, when in reality we only know that it wasn't being offered in 2010 - and in reality Cubana are selling flights from Frankfurt on their website right now.

This kind of original research/verifiability problem is present throughout this corpus of articles. Indeed, the article under discussion is largely made up of services listed as "terminated" based on identically-flawed reasoning. FOARP (talk) 12:58, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
