- Keep, reasonably long experience as assistant in a fully professional league, and while it's true that the significant coverage mainly comes from the newspapers of his hometown, I'd call it a mid-sized town if anyone were to think that it's a street lined with a couple of buildings..

- Can the 3 VBS AfDs still be combined here to make one? -2pou (talk) 23:45, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- @2pou: I would say no; all should be discussed individually to identify if any is worth keeping. Lordtobi (✉) 10:27, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep and Merge with other VSB games. No real-world significance? The games this company makes are used to train militaries across the world. If you took the time to do a google search you'd see that there are hundreds of hits that could be incorporated into the article. Now as for the individual articles for the VBS games, those could probably be redirected to this page instead. From my research VBS3 looks like the only one with maybe enough on it specifically to have its own article. Bluedude588 (talk) 16:21, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment I added a few more references and will probably continue to add stuff in the next couple days. The notability of the article should be pretty obvious now. Still, merging the VBS articles into this one would make sense I think. Bluedude588 (talk) 16:40, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Bluedude588: High usage does usually not indicate notability, regardless of the field it is used in. The additions you made are good but the coverage still seems very lackluster as a whole. There is no significant coverage (more than a few by-liners) as required by GNG. Lordtobi (✉) 10:27, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. I am not impressed with the article, which likely fails WP:NORG/WP:GNG, but looking at Template:Bohemia Interactive if all those games are notable, while NOTINHERITED, maybe they are notable for having developed a number of notable titles? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:59, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Piotrus: Common confusion; {{Bohemia Interactive}} actually belongs to Bohemia Interactive, a notable and good-article'd video game developer. Bohemia Interactive Simulations at one point spun off from this video game developer and for some reason retained the same name. Lordtobi (✉) 10:27, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Thanks Lordtobi for clarifying this. In this case I default to my analysis of sources, which does not suggest this spin-off company is notable. At best, soft delete and redirect to parent. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:31, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect to Bohemia Interactive#ARMA series where the company is discussed in context. This company is a spinoff of Bohemia Interactive. It seems like the coverage of this company is in the context of being a spinoff, so the few sentences about it in the GA article seem of due weight. It is a plausible search term and a redirect is reasonable alternative to deletion per our policy WP:ATD. Helping readers avoid confusion between BI and BIS would be a useful disambiguation that the redirect would facilitate. --

18:41, 9 December 2019 (UTC)- Mark viking, just to clarify, would you agree to have the article deleted and then recreated as a redirect? This would hinder COI editors from rolling back to older revisions easily. Lordtobi (✉) 19:54, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete and redirect would be better than just deletion. But unless there is harmful content in the edit history, I don't see any reason to delete the history, per WP:IGNORINGATD. In particular, "this might cause a maintenance hassle" is not a good reason for deleting history. --

Merge but TNT each of these individually into a new article free of COI. Bohemia Interactive Simulations, VBS1, VBS2, VBS3 are each sprinkled with some secondary sources on top of comments in each individual AfD. The fact that the military is training with video game like software is notable as evidenced by the multiple news agencies reporting it (whichever version it happens to be). A single VBS series article would seem logical as the general use of the software (not the versions/updates themselves) appears to be what is notable. Perhaps there is another military video gaming trainig article out there to merge/redirect to, but I couldn't tell you where that is. -2pou (talk) 21:00, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Many others are just redirected to the article of their comic book or the main character that is in that dimension. If you merge it anywhere that place will be deleted later on, just as many of these articles were merged here. I see dimensions mentioned in various Google news results [2] but don't know how much detailed coverage any of them get. Lot to search through. The list article has enough valid blue links to justify its existence though. Dream Focus 20:54, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

So this article's a bit of an odd one. Super obscure Tolkien concept, little notability in Middle earth, no notability on the real earth. So the article was created in 2015, and was immediately redirected. The redirect was then undone by the creator of the article (who has been indeffed since 2017), who bypassed AfC to recreate the article and then apparently removed the unreviewed tag himself. See [4]. I don't see this article passing WP:GNG, a reason why the redirect should have been undone, or a clear redirect target since List of Middle-earth animals is no more.

All this apparently isn't covered in RS, but in odd corners of the web which it would be hard to use, even given WP:PARITY. So it's woo, but is it notable woo?

- Thanks for the background. It seems there are two topics here; BEMER therapy, which has some studies listed on PubMed, and the BEMER group, which I agree looks like an MLM scam operation. I suppose the therapy is possibly notable, but I'll defer to editors with more experience in fringe medical woo to determine that. --

- Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But this makes no other claim of preexisting notability for other reasons independent of the candidacy, and is not referenced anywhere near well enough to make his candidacy somehow a special case of greater notability than other people's candidacies.

- This currently has only one secondary source, and it's all of three sentences long. That can't support an article of this length. Since the source mentions this character in the context of a list of Spider-Man's other enemies, doing the same by redirecting to List of Spider-Man enemies (no merge necessary; she's already there) would normally be appropriate; but disambiguated titles make for poor redirects, so I can't support that either. So I guess I'm leaning delete, with a low bar against recreation as long as there's more secondary sources, and retarget the entry in Screwball (disambiguation) to List of Spider-Man enemies instead of removing it. —Cryptic 14:53, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

The result was delete. A redirect to USC Thornton School of Music seems plausible at first glace, but the scholarship isn't mentioned in that article, so a redirect wouldn't make sense.

Not notable. There are no references to it is its own right--the only refs i could find in Google were links to announcement of concerts by people who have received the scholarship. I could not find that any of the recipients in those announcements are notable in our sense --which is a little odd since the scholarship has been awarded annually since 1951.
There certainly are a great many blue links to notable performers in the article--these are the sometimes extremely famous people who have performed at a concert to raise money for the award. That's namedropping, not notability. DGG ( talk ) 23:53, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

The assertion above that "There are no references to it is its own right--the only refs i could find in Google were links to announcement of concerts by people who have received the scholarship." is I think unfair, possibly because the scholarship has been referenced under various names over its long history, including the "Gwendolyn and Adolph Koldofsky Memorial Scholarship", "Gwendolyn and Adolph Koldofsky Memorial Endowed Scholarship", "Gwendolyn Koldofsky Memorial Scholarship", "Koldofsky Graduate Fellowship in Accompanying", and "Koldofsky Memorial Music Scholarship". I find quite a few references to recipients (in addition to the references to benefit concerts), including:

The assertion above that "There certainly are a great many blue links to notable performers in the article--these are the sometimes extremely famous people who have performed at a concert to raise money for the award. That's namedropping, not notability." is also I think unfair. Wikipedia defines "Name dropping" as: "Name-dropping (or name-checking) is the practice of naming or alluding to important people and institutions within a conversation,[1] story,[2] song, online identity,[3] or other communication. The term often connotes an attempt to impress others; it is usually regarded negatively,[1] and under certain circumstances may constitute a breach of professional ethics.[4] When used as part of a logical argument it can be an example of the false authority fallacy.[5]" But the notable names mentioned in the Koldofsky Scholarship article aren't simply gratuitous conversational mentions for the purpose of impressing others. Instead they are legitimate references from reliable sources directly relevant to the scope of an encyclopedic article.
I don't see any advantage in merging this article with either USC Thornton School of Music or Gwendolyn Koldofsky, and I don't see any advantage in deleting the article completely, since people who come across references to this topic would be disappointed not to find a Wikipedia article on it.

It was claimed above that "department-specific awards are rarely notable on their own and I see nothing showing independent notability." But we do have department-specific award articles, such as John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships at Stanford, and Tiger Athletic Foundation, and university-specific graduate-level awards such as Knight-Hennessy Scholars and the awards listed under "See Also" in that article. The notability of these awards seems to derive mainly from the notability of their benefactors and/or alumni. Musicman103 (talk) 19:03, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete or redirect if possible. This is an award for a specific department, for which no independent coverage can be found. Yes, there are other similar awards, but that doesn't follow that this award is notable. This seems to be more in the line of the Richard Tucker Music Foundation young artist awards (e.g. Sarah Tucker Awards for students). I would like a ping if you find a suitable target to merge it into. Bearian (talk) 20:49, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
I disagree with the latter part of the above comment that says: "This is an award for a specific department, for which no independent coverage can be found." I consider the following ten references in the article to be independent coverage: #1: The Canadian Encyclopedia; #4: lottelehmannleague.org; #5: geni.com; #6: cabbagetownpeople.ca; #7: latimes.com; #9: latimes.com; #10: latimes.com; #18: cdnc.ucr.edu; #21: latimes; #28: the book "Marilyn Horne: The Song Continues". I would also consider these independent references to be substantial in explaining the origin of the scholarship fund, when and where it was created, and in honor of whom, and its later renaming, how it was funded with annual benefit concerts, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicman103 (talk • contribs) 22:46, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

The result was delete. Per guidelines and practice, the only thing that matters in notability discussions is that there are good sources that can be the basis for an article. The "keep" opinions do not address this, or only assert but do not identify sources, and therefore must be given less weight. Being the first gay lead character in UK comics is probably important, and as such warrants (sourced) mention in appropriate articles e.g. about British comics, but under our guidelines it has nothing to do with whether he should be the subject of a dedicated article.

- If said graphic novels are notable (have reviews, awards) we could redirect this there if you or anyone else would stub such an article. But I don't see said reviews/awards myself.

Nope, I'm the sole operator of my account. And I work in AppViewX, hence the plurality.Nishevitha (talk) 14:28, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - I am currently of two minds on this. I made a couple of edits as I tried to figure out whether the underlying topic was or wasn't notable.
Nominator David Gerard, did you mean to imply the article was the work of a cloud of SPAs, colluding together? That is not what I saw when I looked at the article's history? What I saw were contributors who disagreed with one another, working to correct what they saw as imperfect wroding by other contributors. So - not colluding. Were they SPAs? I didn't check.
On the other hand, after looking at the sources, I'd say the article is currently quite inaccurate. The references I looked at said AppViewX was spun off in 2016, while our article said it was founded in 2009. That was definitely a problem, but not one for which deletion was the appropriate solution, if the underlying topic was notable.
So, is the topic of AppViewX notable? WP:NCORP says it would have to have "been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources."
Well, in addition to those press releases, I think there has been coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. $30 million dollars of venture capital funding is not chicken feed, and that was published in independent secondary sources.
In my opinion the biggest weakness of both the wikipedia article and much of the RS coverage is that they are really vague about the firm's actual products.
Okay, I spent enough time to form an idea of what their product is.
They sell software that provides developers with a visual programming interface. They claim this visual interface will enable developers who aren't professional software developers to develop visual applications of their own, without having to learn how to program.
I was a software guy, a lifetime ago, and I have a strong prejudice against those selling software that makes this kind of undeliverable promise.
But my strong prejudice is irrelevant, if RS talk about this topic. And, no offense, David Gerard, to whatever extent your feelings about this kind of promise, this kind of software, lay behind your nomination, it too should be irrelevant here.
If third party venture capitalists put down $30 million bucks, and third party IT journals wrote about it, our personal prejudices should count for nothing. Geo Swan (talk) 19:16, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- I looked at the extremely skimpy sourcing - this has never been a well-sourced article - and did a WP:BEFORE and found nothing but press releases and occasional press release reprints, and that made it seem really not noteworthy. I noted the editing history as well. WP:NCORP requires more than funding rounds and churnalism - it requires actual WP:ORGIND content. Where are you seeing this significant non-press-release coverage? - David Gerard (talk) 19:24, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Despite what Geo Swan says, funding news is almost always going to be routine coverage that does little for notability at best, and an outright press release at worst, regardless of the amount of funding or the circumstances (exceptions would include if there was a suspicion the funding was tied to a financial crime somehow, e.g. money laundering). The sources on the page thus far do not show notability. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Onward to 2020 21:37, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

The Spanish Inquisition was not active in The Netherlands because The Netherlands were not technically part of the Spanish Crown and it could never hold jurisdiction there. There was an inquisition but it was not the malevolent secretive organization it is portrayed as here. Executions were more likely to be conducted by political authorities and not the church. Most of this article is based on 16th century rumors, Protestant propaganda, and 19th century historiography. The Talk page contains a list of references to which I suspect the author did not have access to because they often dispel the 'myth' or 'legend' of the Spanish Inquisition in The Netherlands as it is portrayed here.

- The Wikipedia article is longer than the two paragraphs in the book you referenced. Only one sentence from the Wikipedia article corresponds to what is written in those two paragraphs. That one sentence (about Francis Van der Hulst) seems to be the only factual part of the entire article. If the article is to be kept it would have to be rewritten entirely. If the importance of the rumors about the Spanish Inquisition merit being on Wikipedia, it should either be as part of the Black legend (Spain) or as part of the article on the Dutch Revolt. Oda86 (talk) 16:20, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep, possibly as Inquisition in the Netherlands. I only had to take off my shelf J.I. Israel, Dutch Republic: its rise greatness and fall (Oxford University Press, 1995) and look at the index to find it had several passages in the subject. This told me (pp.99-101) that Pieter Titelmans was Inquisitor of the County of Flanders, processing 494 heresy cases, leading to 105 executions. The inquisition seems to have existed 1521-66, initially under Francis van der Hulst aimed at rooting out Protestantism. No doubt there were differences from that in Spain; and perhaps its Spanish nature needs toning down, but that is a matter of editing not a question of whether the article should exist. Whether executions were conducted by the church or the state matters little: they were the result of trials instigated by inquisitors. I do not know enough about the history of the Southern Netherlands after the Dutch Revolt to know how Catholicism was reestablished as the state religion there, with Protestants either migrating to the United Provinces or converting. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:45, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- Most executions were not the result of trials instigated by inquisitors but by the Council of Troubles which was a special tribunal instituted by the governor-general. They tried heresy as a case of treason and didn't operate as part of the Catholic Church. A 2009 also study states that it was the political authorities that acted against protestants.[1] Oda86 (talk) 13:04, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

- Your edit does make it look like the beginnings of an actually factual article. It could be worth salvaging if a lot of it were removed. In particular anything based on The Rise of the Dutch Republic by John Lothrop Motley. Even his 19th century contemporaries were very critical of this work ("tendency to make up "facts" if they made for a good story"; "his views are generally too obsolete"; "bias in favor of Protestants and against Catholics").

- Cook, Bernard (2002). Belgium: A History also doesn't seem to go over well in academic circles in the Low Countries. One review concluded: "il faut cependant déplorer son manque réel de consistance et l’absence d’une vraie perspective d’information scientifique." (however, we must deplore its real lack of consistency and the absence of a real perspective of scientific information).[2] Maybe part of the issue is that the Historical revision of the Inquisition - The Revolt of the Netherlands hasn't found it's way beyond Dutch and Belgian historiography. Most of what I find to make my point is written in Dutch or French whereas arguments from the other side tend to come from English or American writers. I also learned about the Spanish Inquisition in the Netherlands in high school but studying history at university, this was one of the things my professors took the time to debunk.

The kinds of content problems the OP describes are not appropriately solved through deletion, although I won't be surprised if this article becomes more about dispelling myths or historiography in time. I myself made an edit to this article with the edit summary: "Add quotation which questions this whole article". The quote included "there never was any scheme to establish a Holy Office of the sort known in Castile in the Netherlands". However, I also did a thorough search for sources and found a number, which I added to the further reading section. They seem to indicate notability, and I would be glad to see someone step forward to integrate them into the article.

- I don't have a problem with there being an article on "Religious persecution in The Netherlands" but that would widen the scope even further. It would also complicate matters even further because the Dutch Revolt was basically a civil war where one town might have seen the persecution of Catholics whereas a few towns over Protestants were subjected to the same. My main issue is with the term 'inquisition' because The term 'Inquisition' was already leading to confusion in the sixteenth century. [...] Since then, 'the Inquisition' has also been used in historiography as a container term and has obfuscated historical debates.[3] Most of your sources are about rumors and propaganda about the inquisition (even if they do use the word "inquisition" in their title). Muchembled is actually a review of the book "Modern Inquisition trials in the southern Netherlands" in which he extensively criticizes the misuse of that term in the title. Historical revision of the Inquisition - The Revolt of the Netherlands mentions a forged "decree of the Spanish Inquisition signed by the King of Spain in 1568 declared most Dutch lives and property forfeit" that was not discovered to be a forgery until the 20th century (I would have to consult the source to know the actual year though). This would invalidate any source you mention published in the 19th and early 20th century. The main issue is that even historians constantly seem to correct each other on the proper use of the term as it applies to the Netherlands. Rewriting the page under its current title would leave nothing more than a stub. Rewriting it as "Religious persecution in The Netherlands" seems to broad and narrowing it down might render it too niche. If we were to turn it into "Myths about the Inquisition of the Netherlands" it would be better suited under Black legend (Spain) or Historical revision of the Inquisition - The Revolt of the Netherlands. The latter also still requires a lot of revising. I quoted a source below that, for me, indicates that as far as there was an inquisition in the Netherlands not enough information about it remains to build a notable article. All the rest just comes from historical misunderstandings and misuse of the term.
- @Daask: So, in summary: Integrating the sources you added might not be enough. Rewriting the article almost entirely, with exception of the contributions made in the last few days, might be enough. It would basically be a short section on how there wasn't really an institutionalized Inquisition in the Netherlands, only a handful of people with the title of inquisitor over a short time (see below). Laying out how persecution of Protestants was a civic matter, not one performed by the Church. And then a more sizeable sections about myths, rumors and propaganda about the Spanish Inquisition and the resulting misinterpretation by historians of the role the Inquisition played in religious persecutions in The Netherlands, which has been corrected in recent decades. Would that be a notable?
- Keep. This inquisition existed, is notable. Whether it was an extension of the Spanish inquisition is a separate question. (does the source given support the term "protestant propaganda"?. Hydromania (talk) 06:26, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- re Propaganda: The term is used by historians on the Dutch revolt to describe the "paper war" waged at the time via pamphlets.[4][5][6]
- re the term inquisition: Using that term is problematic. There was a sort of papal inquisition that dealt with heresy from 1525 to 1540. This was in no way or form an extension of the Spanish Inquisition nor was it ever a stable organisation[7]. After that it became the jurisdiction of the political authorities but their actions are still referred to in the article as those of an "inquisition". It isn't. Oda86 (talk) 10:57, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment -- This article contends that the outreach of the Inquisition in the Low Countries should not be exaggerated as Goosens has done by equating it with other early modern centralised Inquisitions. Unlike Spain, Portugal or Italy, the Inquisition in the Low Countries never turned into a stable organisation which survived for centuries: it was certainly buried by 1589, if not already by 1576-7. In fact, we argue that the Inquisition in the Low Countries should primarily be regarded as an 'office' bestowed upon individuals rather than as a proper institution. It never acquired a building or created separate archives. In the Low Countries, the Inquisition never formed a tribunal, yet individual inquisitors were called upon as specialised judges for offending clerics, or for judicial procedures de fide conducted by laymen. Inquisitors - and there were not so many of them in total - were often appointed ad hoc, after the death of the previous holder of the function. As importantly, the inquisitorial function was continuously reassessed during the sixteenth century, while never attaining a fixed equilibrium. Its functions were thus subject to changing dynamics: first, the inquisitors served as a much-needed check-and-balance on the civil courts and episcopal and papal inquisitors. Then they became an intelligence service for civil courts which had received broadened competence regarding heretics. Finally, after the episcopal reform in 1559, even inquisitors themselves no longer insisted on the necessity of their function. Hence, the inquisitorial office went through different phases of cooperation and antagonism with both the secular and the ecclesiastical officials with whom it shared responsibility for the repression of heterodoxy.[8] Oda86 (talk) 10:57, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Non-notable film production company. Speedy was declined because they are supposedly "responsible" for several blue-linked films. In reality, per the credits of those films on IMDB, they are merely one of several production companies involved in making said films (ie, they are not a primary film production company like MGM or Miramax that arranges for films to be made, but a company you contract to help with shooting your film).
I found no results on a Google search for news or books. Newspapers.com had some trivial mentions in Boston papers as well as one fluff piece in the North Adams Transcript about how nice it was that the company was shooting in their little town. There are no sources outside of Massachussets, so it fails WP:AUD even if that fluff piece + trivial mentions were enough to squeak it over WP:GNG. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 07:30, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep - Alaskan Huskies aren't pure breed either, but are the most used breed for sleddog races (mostly for longdistance races) in the US and Canada and for that very notable. The Eurohound on the other hand is the most used sleddog in Europe, where you got more short- and mid-distance races. So I don't see why "not being a purebred" is even important in this matter or why Eurohounds are less notable. As an alternative, maybe a section on the Alaskan Husky page would be enough, since the Eurohounds partly descend from AlaskansFratzengulasch (talk) 11:09, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Subject does not appear to be sufficiently notable, seeming to fail to meet the criteria of WP:BIO and WP:ACADEMIC.
He does come close to meeting #1 of ACADEMIC, but it appears that Tornqvist indexes have not had sufficient impact. He does also come close to meeting a broad definition of #2, having an award named after him, but not awarded to him. However, this award does not seem to "highly prestigious" within Finland, and it is not so internationally, and so again it seems he does not qualify.
Neither of the two provided independent sources covering Tornqvist are substantial, with one of them being an obituary. However, the other source is a Swedish encyclopedia dedicated to correcting the under-representation of Finnish history within world encyclopedias, so it is possible that the individual is sufficiently notable in Scandinavia to warrant inclusion.
A search for additional sources that would affirm notability do not provide anything, but I have been unable to comprehensively review Swedish or Finnish sources due to an inability to read Swedish or Finnish. BilledMammal (talk) 04:50, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

- Comment Found a little more coverage. This book describes the subject's contributions to population forecasting. This indicates that he was elected a fellow of The Econometric Society (not sure if this rises to the level of meeting WP:PROF#C3). The reference here indicates that the subject was known as "the grandfather of Finnish statistics", but I don't see the subject described that way in other sources. Larry Hockett (Talk) 05:22, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Törnqvist created a method used to construct widely cited price indexes around the world. Independent of that, he taught Linux Torvalds to program. The nomination for deletion is absurd. I recommend WP:Speedy keep, because deletion discussions are pretty painful. - econterms (talk) 05:45, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - Unfortunately, while the Törnqvist equation is used somewhat widely, it doesn't seem like the "independent reliable sources" showing it to have "significant impact" exist.

- Keep. You know... I was going to say simply redirect to Hawkeye (Clint Barton), but then I looked at the Hawkeye article to see how much he comes up...only in the reception. BUT, what a mention in the reception it was! He was covered extensively in this WIRED article. That got me thinking that if this was praised so highly, there must be more out there, so I went to Comic Book Roundup to check. Well, there are so many sites that actually chose to review this that there are too many to bother linking. Here is the overall link, and you can see several mentions of him in there: [8]. His story also won the Eisner award in 2014. Clearly a reception section should be created to capture some of this, but the sources WP:NEXIST based on this alone. There's probably more, but this already meets GNG.

There aren't many LG handsets that are notable, the Shine is certainly on the upper end of notability for that manufacturer. Amongst the news coverage I see Engadget, Gizmodo, Wired and CNET. From what I can recall there was quite a fuss about the device at the time, however article rot seems to have removed any mainstream news stories that I can recall.

- Delete. In terms of qualifying for a Wikipedia article, the notability test is not the things the article says, but the quality of the sources that can be shown to support the things it says. For example, a person is not "notable" for appearing in a film if your source for the claim is a video clip of the film's trailer on a streaming platform; a person becomes notable for appearing in a film if the appearance led reliable sources (i.e. media) to write and publish journalistic coverage about the appearance. But this is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and even on a Google search there's literally nothing better out there. Wikipedia is not LinkedIn: we are not a place where people are entitled to have an article about them just because they exist, we are an encyclopedia where an article becomes earned by passing a notability criterion and receiving media coverage.

The Silver Star has been awarded to well over a 100,000 people and is not our nation's "highest award for valor", which, according to WP:SOLDIER would be required to establish notability on its own.

I can't find a reference to a "Fort Eger Badge" except on McHugh's page; if such an award exists, please provide a link. McHugh was not and could not be awarded the Presidential Unit Citation; that award is made to a unit and assigned soldiers are allowed to wear it forever. McHugh's page has the flavor of violating WP:NOTAMEMORIAL.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 15:46, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Gaarmyvet: Thanks for the information. I find many references to the awards of McHugh - some not RS, however I do not suspect Stolen Valor.

My hope is that these clues may lead us to RS of the awards. I think the FB post was taken from this RS. Lightburst (talk) 16:01, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Clarityfiend:, I never meant to suggest stolen valor and regret if what I wrote seemed like it.

WP:MEMORIAL, also applies here. Kierzek (talk) 00:00, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete: doesn't seem notable. His experience on D-Day, which forms a big chunk of the article and seems to be part of the justification for notability, doesn't appear to be any different from most of the other soldier of the 1st Division that would have landed that day. Also being a recipient of the Silver Star also doesn't justify notability as it is the fourth level gallantry award behind the MoH, DSC and DSM. Zawed (talk) 10:19, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
- Actually it's the third level. The DSM isn't a gallantry medal. Still doesn't make him notable though. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:24, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. If this gentleman is kept then I see no reason not to have articles on every single other veteran of every war that has ever been fought. Given that would patently be ridiculous I fail to see what his notability is. Even if we take his decorations into account, hundreds of thousands of third-level decorations (like the Silver Star) have been awarded over the centuries. The Bronze Star is so low as not to count as equivalent to a true decoration in most countries (e.g. approximately equivalent to a mention in dispatches in the UK, only probably much more common). They have been handed out like sweets in many campaigns. He doesn't meet the requirements of WP:SOLDIER, WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG. Just typical local coverage for a local hero. You could find similar for any distinguished military veteran anywhere in the world. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:18, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

He earned a Silver and Bronze Star, was inducted into the State of New York's Veterans Hall of Fame, and has a street named after him. Atsme Talk 📧 04:24, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- Carrying a tripod for a weapon that was never used is a "significant role" in a battle? ApLundell (talk) 04:49, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- Parsing words. Storming the bloodiest beach (Omaha) in the most significant (Turning Point Battle)...in addition to participation in the another historically significant turning point, the Battle of the Bulge. Reasonable editors can disagree, however they do not hand out Silver and Bronze stars to insignificant soldiers. Nor do they name streets after them or put them in any Hall of Fame. In any event, my argument is that McHugh passes GNG...the requirement is for reliable sources, and on that measure McHugh passes. The muttering about "local" sources is not mentioned in any guideline for WP:N. Sources only need to be reliable. Per WP:SOLDIER
It is important to note that a person who does not meet the criteria mentioned above is not necessarily non-notable; ultimately, this determination must be made based on the availability of significant coverage in independent, secondary sources.
Lightburst (talk) 05:06, 8 December 2019 (UTC)- "An important role" is not just being there. He apparently did his duty just like millions of other soldiers and that is honorable but not notable.Mztourist (talk) 05:47, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- Does the article have non-trivial reliable secondary sources? If so the article passes our notability guidelines. As an aside: I had a stepfather who was in WWII. He drove a tank in the Battle of the Bulge. And I have an Uncle who was a Marine in Viet Nam, he was in the Tet Offensive. Nothing is written about either of them in any RSs- they have no gallantry medals, no streets named after them, no hall of fame inductions. Consider keeping the article because it passes the tougher GNG standard. Lightburst (talk) 06:06, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- Once again I ask, do you think therefore that every single one of the hundreds of thousands who have won a third-level decoration throughout history should have an article? Would that not be utterly ridiculous? Or does this only apply to soldiers from the modern West who have a lot written about them? Given that would be a clear breach of WP:SYSTEMIC, we would surely have to extend it to all others as well. That's every veteran of every war in history. Off you go! Better start now. Alternatively, we could follow our own guidelines and not write articles about non-notable people who have only received routine coverage in local sources. There are very good reasons that we have decided that corporals with one third-level decoration are not notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:00, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hyperbole: The use of hyperbole does not help make your case. I have just described why my soldier stepfather and my soldier uncle do not qualify for an article. On WP we keep articles on subjects where reliable sources are found to show notability. We in fact have articles about complete rubbish on WP because a WP:LOCALCONSENSUS is found to keep. We also delete great articles for the same wrongheaded reason. This subject is notable because our guidelines for GNG say it is. Lightburst (talk) 15:38, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

- As did hundreds of thousands of others. I assume you agree with articles for every single one of them then? Every soldier who fought in the Battle of Stalingrad. Every veteran of the Battle of Waterloo. Every pilot of the Battle of Britain. Every soldier who went over the top at the Battle of the Somme. All very notable actions. All obviously worthy of articles under your interpretation of WP:SOLDIER. Fighting in a notable action does not equate to playing a significant role in it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:00, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- Necrothesp - every year in the US we honor Veterans Day, but we also honor D-Day separately because it was an historic turning point in WWII, and McHugh was not just part of that event as what the oppose arguments are attempting to reduce him to when saying "as did hundreds of thousands of others" while naming various other battles in the war that are not honored separately as is D-Day. McHugh was inducted into the Veterans Hall of Fame because he fought in 3 historic battles. As a member of The Big Red One in the Invasion of Normandy - The invaders were able to establish a beachhead as part of Operation Overlord after a successful "D-Day", the first day of the invasion. He was one of the first and firsts are notable on Wikipedia. This biography clearly passes GNG, N and V. The same would apply to any other Hall of Fame inductees with similar coverage in RS. Atsme Talk 📧 16:49, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- You're presumably aware that the USA is not the only country in the world or the only country covered by Wikipedia? In Britain we remember the Battle of Britain, the Somme, etc, etc. And yes, also D-Day. All with many thousands of veterans, many of whom fought in multiple notable battles and were decorated more than McHugh, but still not enough to meet WP:SOLDIER. We don't have halls of fame, however. That's an American thing. That doesn't make our veterans any less notable. Every country has battles they particularly remember. Russia remembers Stalingrad, for instance. And pretty much every veteran has some coverage in local newspapers. If this passes AfD, which would clearly be utterly ridiculous, then I move that every single veteran of every single war of every single country should be entitled to an article. Surely you see how ludicrous that would be? -- Necrothesp (talk) 21:38, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

- I'm leaning towards Keep. Substantive sources have been cited, including a full obituary in Queens Chronicle.

- You are using the wrong words to describe what is required ...notable sources. I do not know if you are doing it on purpose so I will AGF.

An article about a phone which doesn't meet WP:NPRODUCT or WP:GNG. The sources about the phone are all from a forum, which isn't reliable because it is entirely user-generated content. A Google search turns up almost results about the phone, especially News and Books searches.

- Keep Vintage cell phones as a whole are very, very niche. Finding official places to cite is very hard with stuff like this. Motorola doesn’t have information about phones this old on their website, and I can’t think of any other “official” places that have lots of information about any vintage cell phone.
- The Tough Talker is very notable, because it is the precursor to what became the Motorola bag phone, a very popular range of phones Motorola produced for many years.
- Also, I am only citing mobilecollectors.net for years the phones were made, as they can be told by the serial numbers on the phone, and those don’t lie. It’s very hard to figure out exactly when some of these were introduced, and when production ceased, so we can only go by the oldest and newest-known ones we can find.
- I just thought it would be very nice to have an article about these phones, as there really isn’t a good one elsewhere.
- Also, there is very, very little citing in the Motorola bag phone article, so why is that being allowed to stay up?
- Sure, maybe the Tough Talker isn’t the most well-known phone in existence, but it’s very historically significant for Motorola, and deserves its own article. Why should it be forgotten to time because it’s not the most famous phone in existence?
- If y’all really feel like the article should be deleted, I can’t do anything about that. I am just trying to do some good here and create a decent article about these phones, because there isn’t one elsewhere.
- It’s crazy that y’all are fighting me so hard on this. Clearly no appreciation for history here. This article has been written with facts from a neutral point of view, so do your research! I have spent hours researching these phones, which is probably a lot more than y’all have. I definitely won’t be using Wikipedia in the future. This has been an utterly terrible experience.

- It isn't that the details are not a useful addition to the project, it's that it doesn't seem to pass the threshold for notability in its own right.

- Merge - looking at the references I see that it appears to be a version of the Motorola 4500X which is covered under Motorola Bag Phone. I suggest that this material may make a useful addition to that article, it may also be that some of those "Bag Phones" are notable enough to be spun out into their own articles.

As such, creating a Wikipedia article about it would be too soon. You've gone incognito (talk ⋅ contribs) 09:08, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect to The Passion of the Christ: IMDB Pro is a reliable Industry source as it only accessible and editable by industry insiders, it has listed the film as in pre-production(meaning it has been "greenlit" but has not yet been filmed), has listed the runtime as a surprisingly oddly specific 167 minutes, posted up an official Teaser Poster for the film and has given an official projected release date. The movie is most likely being filmed "quietly"(to avoid trouble) due to the controversial nature of the production and the issues associated with the original film. Hollywood has made movies entirely in secret due to security concerns before(I'm fact the 2004 Original was also a high security production and it was not publicized much before filming took place in secret), usually using alias production names. I do agree it is a little too soon, and the article maybe should have it's content placed in the "sequel section" of the page for the original film. Although it is clearly happening, the projected release date from the industry source is 2021 at the earliest. It is indeed slightly too early for a page, even if the production is a "high security" film production and possibly already filming some scenes. I think all relevant content should be moved to the sequel section of the 2004 film.Colliric (talk) 03:41, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and WP:NOTFILM. Article's references are mere mentions of the film's potential – it has not been verified to have entered production yet. Editor above commented "The movie is most likely being filmed 'quietly'(to avoid trouble)," which is completely speculative WP:OR and cannot be proven or disproven without verifiable independent coverage in reliable sources. -- Wikipedical (talk) 19:22, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Fictional term. Might belong in wiktionary but it fails at being an encyclopedic article due to failures of WP:GNG. Sure, it is used in a number of works, but outside making a "list of books and other media that use the term astrogator" there is is little to work with, and such a list would fail WP:LISTN anyway.

- Orgasmatron (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Here's a 'fun' topic to discuss. Problems are the usual ones: list of appearances in fictional media (quite a few, given the usual har-har associated with this; this also makes search for sources painful; there have even been several books and dozen+ articles that use this term in their title, etc.). But all it means this likely fails WP:GNG. No source I see discusses it in depth, the extent of analysis is that this term has been coined by Woody Allen's movie Sleeper (and Allen was mocking Wilhelm Reich's ideas), and then a sentence about in-universe plot (device that allows to trigger orgasms, har har) and then was used in few other works. The point to bear in mind that while the joke of Orgasmatron is used to ridicule some things, said joke itself has not been subject to any in-depth analysis, and so the article is simply unable to develop beyond a two-liner definition and then a list of works using this term. Is this enough to warrant an encyclopedic article? I think that this should be simply a paragraph at best in the Sleeper movie (but there is nothing to merge there from the current article). PS. As far as I can tell, this term does not have its own entry in any encyclopedia of sf terms or such, neither. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:04, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

- Lean delete - Honestly this feels a bit like WP:SYNTH material to me. It doesn't seem as if any reliable sources actually link the 'orgasmatron' from the original film to any of the vaguely similar devices in other media/pop culture. Unless a reliable source talks about them together, it doesn't make sense for us in Wikivoice to state or imply that they are related. Michepman (talk) 04:49, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
- Selective merge to Sleeper (1973 film). Take the In Sleeper (1973) section, and distill it down to a few sentences. The Slate, Guardian, and LA Times references already in the article are surely sufficient to support this brief mention. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:48, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
- PS, as sgeureka mentions below, moving Orgasmatron (disambiguation) to Orgasmatron make sense. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:27, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Selective merge to Sleeper (1973 film) per WP:SYNTH and RoySmith. Orgasmatron (disambiguation) can/should then be moved the the undabbed name. – sgeureka t•c 08:33, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
