I'm about ready to pitch John Ade over the side as a source for places in this county, given the otherwise lack of evidence of this as a town; his claim that it was "laid out" is not realized in any structure or roads. In fact the best documentation of it is about the potential removal of the station there, all the way back around 1908. Otherwise it is only remembered in the name of the Conrad Savanna Nature Preserve which lies just to the east (the GNIS location having suffered label drift). There's no sign of a town in any topo or aerial, albeing that these don't go back too terribly far. Mangoe (talk) 18:27, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed PROD, and that’s totally fine. But the de-PROD-der did so with summary that prompted me to do another cursory search, but still didn’t come up with anything tangible. My PROD statement Subject fails WP:NPOL and current sources do not help to qualify for WP:GNG still stands. I particularly went through the cited sources to find GNG-passable sources but yielded nothing. There are no sufficient independent sources that provide substantial coverage of the subject to establish the minimum GNG. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:15, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – Normally I'd vote delete for city councillors, especially newly-elected ones who haven't done much in office yet, but recent coverage of Sean Orr specifically has not been routine or minor. An elected official being at the municipal level is not a hard rule; if notability can be demonstrated by significant coverage, then the subject is notable (WP:GNG). Recent allegations of antisemitism and promotion of violence levied at Orr, and counter-allegations of libel and mischaracterisations, have earned Orr coverage at the national level beyond routine election and council coverage (e.g. CBC article on the accusations). Yue🌙 05:56, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Yue Kindly present the sources you think makes this subject pass GNG. I didn’t see any, hence why I nominated. Social media links or PR pieces with insignificant coverages that are clearly dependent on the subject do not substantiate notability as long as GNG is concerned, so kindly provide your own sources that makes you think this, thank you. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 06:28, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The CBC sources reads: In a Wednesday morning news conference, is not indepth and so, we can’t rely on it to establish notability. Even if we did, a source isn’t enough. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 19:30, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Vancouver city councillors are notable political figures in BC. Other councillors have pages with similar sourcing and levels of detail. RedactedSagan (talk) 20:32, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The multiple calls for deletion from a single user Vanderwaalforces for an article under 1 month old without first contributing any clean up tags to the article fails to follow general protocol of steps C. according to WP:BEFORE. With Vanderwaalforces's issue with the notability of the person in this article, I question why a tag such as {{notability}} was not added to the article at the time of doubt, instead of the more aggressive, unnecessary deletion action. Particularly when there has been evidence leaning towards GNG, just poorly cited initially.
Sean Orr is notable as a Vancouver public figure due to his writing, activism and occupation as a politician. He has more significant news coverage citations than many similar level politicians with articles. His win in the latest by-election was notable as part of a historic by-election in Vancouver where voters waited up to 3 hours to cast their votes (and a majority of whom voted for Orr)[1]. During his election campaign he has been endorsed by a number of well known politicians and public figures, such as Svend Robinson and Gabor Maté which in itself shows GNG.[2] The lack of GNG-passable sources that were included when this article has been recently created does not indicate the lack of GNG sources of this person, it simply indicated the article was a stub in need of further work, added citations and additional edits.

For criterion two, which is nothing far from WP:GNG, and as far as GNG is concerned in itself, below is an analysis of the sources currently cited in the article in which the keep !voters claim it enough to pass GNG. There are three parameters that must be met by a source before it can be considered to substantiate notability per GNG, all of the sources fail at least one or two of the parameters.

  • Keep. Article does need some improvement, as it is a bit more reliant on primary sources than it should be — update: far less so now that I've poleaxed the unnecessary list of social media endorsements and added real media sourcing for his prior candidacies — but Vancouver is a global city whose city councillors do get a presumption of notability under WP:NPOL #2. I'm also almost certain that the nominator only looked for within-the-past-month political coverage, and failed to search for any art or music coverage from the 2010s. Bearcat (talk) 13:53, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Bearcat Thank you for dropping this comment. I have some questions; NPOL does not cover municipal politicians or councillors whatsoever, was there a discussion somewhere that said councillors from "global cities" are presumptively notable under the same NPOL that doesn't give provisions for people of that status? I definitely cannot see how Orr passes WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:COMPOSER either, can you try to give direct address on these questions, please? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 14:33, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    NPOL #2 ("local political figures") absolutely covers municipal councillors: mayors and city councillors are literally who that criterion was written for. It's also a longstanding consensus, upheld by hundreds or even thousands of past AFD discussions on councillors in cities like New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, London, Paris or Berlin, that city councillors in global cities are much more likely to cross the notability bar than city councillors in non-global cities — the article does still have to be more than just "So-and-so is a city councillor who exists, the end", but city councillors in global cities are very routinely kept so long as the article contains some useful and properly sourced context above and beyond "person who exists", as this one already does. See also WP:POLOUTCOMES. Bearcat (talk) 14:46, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Bearcat Of course, but that is immediately followed by who have received significant press coverage. With a note saying ... A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists. ... (I claim the emphasis). This is a parameter that must be met before a "local politician" can be considered presumptively notable per #2. Orr currently does not meet this parameter for NPOL #2 based on my analysis of the sources cited in the table above. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 14:58, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Per longstanding consensus, city councillors in global cities pass the test as long as they have enough coverage in reliable sources to enable us to write more than just "So-and-so is a city councillor who exists, the end". Orr has that. He also had coverage a decade ago as a musician and photographer and writer that you wouldn't find on Google, as Google very routinely fails to find decade-old coverage. There are a couple of sources here that could still stand to be replaced if possible (e.g. the one citation that's just his "staff" profile on a website that he wrote for), but there are already GNG-worthy media outlets being cited here, covering him in the context of more than just simple verification of his vote total on election night — and for a person who just took office within the past couple of weeks, there will clearly be more coverage in the future as well. Bearcat (talk) 15:12, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with your assessment of GNG for this subject, I’m sorry. It is also clearly incorrect to me because not even a single source passes all three parameters required to meet GNG. With your assessment, this also means local politicians from my country are covered by NPOL#2. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 02:26, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a song, not properly referenced as passing WP:NSONG. As always, songs are not automatically entitled to have their own standalone articles just because they exist, and have to demonstrate a notability claim supported by WP:GNG-worthy reliable sourcing -- but this just claims that the song exists without documenting anything (chart success, awards, etc.) that would constitute a notability claim at all, and cites absolutely no referencing whatsoever.
A redirect to the album it came from would obviously also be perfectly appropriate, but since that's the kind of thing that tends to trigger revert wars I'm not prepared or willing to unilaterally impose that without consensus.
But this needs a more meaningful notability claim than just existing, and GNG-worthy reliable sourcing about the song itself to support it, before it qualifies for its own standalone article as a separate topic from the album. Bearcat (talk) 13:55, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:LUGSTUB that has been returned to mainspace without any additional sourcing of the kind that would satisfy WP:NSPORT. The only assertion of notability is a team medal at the 1911 Turin Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, and a silver for rings and a bronze for parallel bars at the same event.

The team medal cannot be an indicator of individual notability, since notability is not inherited from the team. For these individual medals, only four people appear to have competed at the rings, three of whom received silver, and as such this silver cannot be an indicator of notability since everyone received silver or better. Similarly, for the parallel bars, it appears that everyone who competed received a medal, so again this bronze shared with six other people cannot indicate notability.

Moreover the circumstances of the 1911 Turin gymnastics championships mean they can hardly be considered the equivalent of modern games: the competition took place in the dark with the competitors being allowed to use their own equipment. Competitors were allowed to "cheat" on the parallel bars. Officially speaking this was only a team event, with no individual awards - the "gold", "silver" , "bronze" designations were given post-facto.

Searching further I see that Costa (or at least someone with the same name) took part in the 1919 Inter-Allied Games, but again his performance in the horse riding and jumping does not appear to have attracted significant coverage. I don't see anything in the corresponding French Wiki article that would fix this. FOARP (talk) 13:48, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Its a huge pain to search for sources, but I think its likely that he's notable. He could have been known by several names, e.g. "Costa Antoine", "Antoine Costa", "Antoine Seville", and French newspaper archives Gallica has many matches that are of him, but its very time consuming to search through them all and get them translated (a few coverage examples: [8] [9]). There's a brief piece on him here; apparently he and Louis Ségura were the sole Olympians of Spanish nationality in 1908. His accomplishments and the confirmed coverage make me feel like his notability is likely. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:59, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, if you search for names other than the name of this article, you find information about people with other names. Yes also, it is difficult to find sources for this article which is why it better to find the sources before the article is created. Giving time for these sources to be found was the reason why this article was draftified.
    It is also time-absorbing to go through results that clearly aren't relevant to the topic under discussion and/or don't provide signficant coverage of him, but here we are, so:
    • I do not see what hits from the Gallica search are relevant here. The first hit is La Dépêche algérienne which does not mention any gymnast by the name of Antoine Costa: it gives three excepts, the first is about a shoemaker called Antoine Claver, the second is a death notice posted by Mr and Mrs Antoine Costa and their children, the third is a notice about the arrest of a man by the name of Rico Boras Antoine. The second hit is much the same except Mr and Mrs Antoine Costa are posting a marriage notice this time. What is it we're supposed to be looking at here?
    • The L'Écho sportif de l'Oranie article is not WP:SIGCOV of Costa. It simply makes a couple of bare mentions of Costa ("...Antoine Costa et Bensadoum sont egalement a admirer ... Costa Antoine 2e du championnat artistique ...", or in machine translation " ... Antoine Costa and Bensadoum are also to be admired ... Costa Antoine 2nd in the artistic championship ... "). This is not SIGCOV.
    • The Le Libéral article similarly contains no significant coverage of Costa. It simply mentions him as one of the six member of the French team, and then says "Nos felicitations aux champions d'Algeries et au professeur costa de notre excellente societe de gymnastique l'Oranais", or in machine translation "Our congratulations to the Algerian champions and to Professor Costa of our excellent Oranian gymnastics society". This is not SIGCOV - it is not even clear that "Professor Costa" is the same as Antoine Costa.
    • The Meyba article similar just says "Antoine Costa nació en Orán el 23 de octubre de 1884, también compitió en 1912. En su partida de nacimiento también figura la anotación espagnol" or in machine translation "Antoine Costa was born in Oran on October 23, 1884, and also competed in 1912. His birth certificate also includes the notation "espagnol". Again, this is not SIGCOV.
    If you want more time to find sources for this, then simply reverting the mainspacing and re-instating the five-year count-down agreed in WP:LUGSTUBS is an option. FOARP (talk) 15:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article is an undiscussed fork of an already existing 2025 Pahalgam attack#Response. There have been diplomatic crises between India and Pakistan since the first Kashmir war, however, this is the first time this article is being created. Koshuri (グ) 12:01, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep, this crisis is especially noteworthy in that the Indus water treaty which remained valid despite the 1971 and 1999 wars has been suspended, both nations have expelled attachees and diplomats and civilians have been ordered to leave, moreover the Shimla agreement which solidified LOC as the de facto border too has been suspended, moreover skirmishes have been taking place along the LOC and indian aircraft carrier has been deployed in the Arabian sea. This crisis has been the largest and most notable since the 2019 one. Hence it wouldn't fall under WP: REDUNDANTFORK provided significant coverage in WP:RS which also solidifies it's notability. 𐤌𐤋𐤊 Waleed (🗽) 12:49, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose , the claim made was misleading as it would be totally wrong to state the diplomatic crisis as a mere aftermath of the attack whereas the crisis made itself notable by some important factors such as the temporary invalidation of the Indus Treaty as well as the withdrawal of the recognition of LOC as the de facto border accompanying with firings at the border areas , all that makes it a notable event , also the Pahalgam attack article fails to cover the full details , hence all that proves it to be a notable event.

The response to the Pahalgam Attack was made by the Indian government, resulting in the Diplomatic Crisis between India and Pakistan. Hence, these are sequential but different topics, and any further events or escalations in tensions between the countries shall be put in detail in this article rather than mentioning the full details on the Pahalgam Attack article. So, this article should not be pushed for deletion, atleast till the tensions between India and Pakistan de-escalate. Idiot1729 (talk) 12:15, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

Lists that are unsourced, single-sourced, or single primary sourced, existing as an exception to WP:NLIST which states, Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; and other guidelines on appropriate stand-alone lists.. This sort of mirrors Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists.
Review: Any exception[s], if actually allowed by consensus (depending on the list), need to be one of three, for Information, navigation, or Development. I am not sure an unsourced or poorly sourced break-away list containing the names of living people qualifies. Consideration, of course, has to be the membership criteria.
While attempting to validate a list, policies and guidelines should probably at least be considered. Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists includes, "Citing sources": Stand-alone lists are subject to Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines for articles, including verifiability and citing sources.
Some editors may attempt to down-play the Notability guideline. The opening sentence states, "On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article." The actual opening paragraph states, Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. Wikipedia's concept of notability applies this basic standard to avoid indiscriminate inclusion of topics. Article and list topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice".
Wikipedia gauges notability and being "worthy of notice" by verifiability: All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists, and captions, must be verifiable. Additionally, four types of information must be accompanied by an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material. Please note #2 and #3:
The note on numbers 2 and 3 is because any assumption of inherited or inherent notability is a fallacy. Alright, that's not the note, but true. Anyway, an article, or list, that remains published, either by silence on the subject, or even IAR, is subject to consensus and the fact that consensus can change.
The mention that other stuff exists is usually not a good thing to bring up at AFD. A good discussion for an exemption would be "valid splits from the main page (which would otherwise become way too long)." If a supposed parent article is not sourced or barely sourced, I am not open to considering a "valid split". I have ran across several of these. Articles like List of European Athletics Championships records has sources and also have many "splits" listed as details, which might be a consideration. There should be a link to the "main" article. Articles like European Running Championships with two sources counted as one and likely not advancing notability would not be a good candidate for consideration..
Summation: To claim exemption from notability or verifiability requires silence from other editors, IAR, that is dependent on consensus, and must consider the fact that consensus can change. Any silence ends when there is a challenge, so "likely to exist" becomes moot, and is satisfied by proof in the form of references, specifically inline citations. It would be better to supply a reference and the link to the main article to keep some editor from going on a crusade. It would be sad if the "history of the Commonwealth Games" were upset. -- Otr500 (talk) 08:52, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Firstly, I do not understand the argument that this is a list article. It is an article about a single event in the athletics section of a single competition in a single year. I suppose it "lists" the distances thrown by competitors but that is not really a list so much as a demonstration that this subject only has database listing evidence. No, the piece about Backley's throw does not show that the event is independently notable. The games are notable, but the single event is a spin-off of the games article. There is no clear reason why that is necessary. Wikipedia is a tertiary source, but it is not a results database, and that is all this page is. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:26, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Years ago, it was decided to spin-off the results as otherwise the main page would get way too long. If deleted, this would be, out of the thousands of events in its history, the sole Commonwealth Games event missing an article. That would be nonsensical. If we're saying that its not encyclopedic they need to be discussed as a group, not just one, as that would leave a very awkward gap. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:07, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The WP:NOLYMPIC position quoted above extends to other top-level championships including the Commonwealth Games. It is true that the Games as a whole have an over-arching level of notability as they are a major sporting event, but each individual competition within the Games is also notable in its own right. In practice, as BeanieFan11 rightly pointed out earlier, individual event articles are maintained as valid forks from the Games article for reasons that must include pagelength and readership convenience. Spartathenian (talk) 11:17, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    NOLYMPIC suitably makes the case that the Commonwealth Games would be notable, but there are 45 disciplines at the Commonwealth games, of which 26 are core disciplines. The relevant discipline for Men's Javelin is, in fact, Athletics (a core discipline). The Athletics discipline consists of nearly 70 events, of which the Men's javelin throw is just one. A page on the Commonwealth Games in any year it is held is certainly notable. That does not mean that for every Commonwealth Games we should also presume there are many hundreds of pages of notable events for every one of the 45 disciplines. There is clearly no such presumption intended nor implied. The only thing that matters would be secondary sources telling us about the 1998 men's javelin throw, discussing the event, and explaining why the event is enduringly notable. Such coverage would need to be WP:SUSTAINED, and not just primary reports of the results of the competition itself. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 12:09, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: There's an inherent difficulty in evaluating coverage of popular media in Thai entertainment reporting in terms of independence, as such coverage has traditionally made little distinction between original reporting and supplied material. Thairath, for example, has lots of episode recaps in its website tag for the programme[11], and though most of them read promotionally, there's also a critical news item[12] and even some discussion by the print edition's political columnist[13]. There was a flurry of news coverage when the programme's host was implicated in The iCon Group case leading to his termination[14][15][16], but even some of these appeared to be PR-based[17][18][19][20]. The most in-depth piece of coverage is this piece by web magazine The Cloud[21]. It's interview-based, but includes an introductory section of twelve sentence-length paragraphs in the writer's own voice that indicate source independence. Maybe consider rescoping to cover the franchise instead, since there's more English-language coverage about it[22][23], but then again most of it is from trade publications. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:45, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The first source used is by a pro-PKK news agency, Firat News Agency, making it unreliable. Yes, it does state it as a PKK claim, although I'm not sure whether this is fair to include. The second source doesn't seem to be a Turkish claim, as it is literally the US database citing the International Crisis Group. It also fails failed verification, making up a number of injured. The third source is the same as the first, for some reason duplicated. The fourth source does state what is mentioned in the article, however the source quite frankly states "Since 2015", meaning it should not be used here. The fifth source is the same as the second, the sixth source is the same as the fourth, the seventh source is the same as the first and third, and the eighth source is the same as the second and fifth.
Overall, the entire page seems to just be made up on lies and misinterpretation. It does not deserve to be on Wikipedia, as I'd argue that having to rewrite the entire page and change quite literally everything is not something that correlates with fixing.

LUGSTUB de-prodded by Habst. The issue here is every single source is a bare database listing (all of which are ultimately the same source referencing the same data) or the Czech Athletics association - no independent, reliable source providing significant biographical coverage of the subject of the article has been provided of the kind needed for an WP:NSPORTS pass.

Searching online I see many references to the prominent Czech doctor after whom Pacak–Zhuang syndrome is named, but nothing about this runner beyond the usual mirrors and databases. We cannot simply assume that coverage exists based on them having been an Olympian - that was a position completely deprecated by WP:NSPORTS2022.

It's assumed that he died in Germany but even this actually isn't known because his death-date isn't known (and so it shouldn't say this). Considering the history of the period, stating that this man "later moved to Germany" could be extremely inaccurate, but is a symptom of the degree to which the sources have been over-interpreted to produce this article.

  • Comment. I removed the bit that said he later "moved to Germany", which appears to be conjecture. Olympedia states with no certainty that he may have "Died in ? (GER)"; it says nothing about his having "moved" there. If in fact he died there, he may just as likely have been there temporarily, e.g., as a forced laborer under the Nazi regime or as a soldier during WWII. There is simply no source saying he later "moved to Germany". Cbl62 (talk) 14:07, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mass-created LUGSTUB de-prodded by BeannieFan with a vague wave in the direction of a newspaper archive that is not accessible.

There is no credible reason to believe sources exist that would give detail biographical coverage of Antoine Masson. Simply pointing at hits in an archive is not sufficient when we have no idea of their content - "Antoine Masson" is a common name (examples of people with the same name include a prominent 19th century French physicist and a 17th century painter), and even sources that covered the relevant Olympic event would in all likelihood only have covered Masson in passing.

Additionally, this article is a potential WP:V failure: the Olympedia link in the article is for Louis Masson, not Antoine. So what was their name? Was it Antoine or Louis? Or both? Or neither? This appears to be yet another example of Olympedia actually not being a very reliable source. Regardless searches for "Louis Masson" throw up plenty of people who have the same name (e.g., a French politician) but nothing that provides significant coverage of a Belgian boxer.

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

I expect this will be controversial, but I do think my argument is valid. This article was AfDed twice before, shortly after it happened, the first of which was delete and the second of which was keep. Nearly five years later, I believe we can address the article on its merits, and whether it results in keep or delete this will hopefully have led to some improvement in the state of things, whether through deletion or improving it to where it clearly has a scope outside of other articles.

Chauvin fails WP:CRIMINAL and WP:NOPAGE. The crime is notable, but as a person he is not, and even if he is notable this article contains virtually no biographical information besides legal cases and all encyclopedic information is already covered on other articles.

Firstly: he fails WP:CRIMINAL, which specifies 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 if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person. Of course, there are outlined exceptions, and of the guideline's two perpetrator criteria, he fails the first (the victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, e.g. politicians or celebrities (whether Floyd himself is notable is a different question that I will not weigh in on, but he was surely not notable prior to the crime happening so this does not apply) and also fails the second. The second prong is thus:

The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role.

The problematic part for Chauvin's case is while the murder is clearly notable, his role as a person is not significantly discussed in sources that are not extremely close to the event. Almost all are WP:ROUTINE legal notice and they do not persist[...] beyond contemporaneous news coverage, they are right after the event happened. They are all on the wider societal effects - but not Chauvin or how his life relates to the event. Unlike other killers who may warrant an article, where there was wide discussion about motive and the personal background of the killer, and how it relates to the event, there is none of that here. There is basically no discussion of Chauvin as a person at all outside of breaking news sources and legal notice which do not help for WP:CRIMINAL

Secondly, WP:NOPAGE: even when someone technically fulfills one of our notability guidelines, it is worth considering whether we are best serving the information to the reader this way. Killers who are much more notable, and who clearly pass WP:CRIMINAL, have had their articles deleted because it was better covered or had too much overlap with the main event article, even when it clearly harmed the main event article, or when the main article was extremely lengthy. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but it gives us precedent to ask the question, would be beneficial to the reader if this information is presented another way? Yes, it would, for this case.

Almost all information in this article is basic legal proceedings, which overlap entirely with the Murder of George Floyd or the Trial of Derek Chauvin article. There are numerous citations to legal documents (which we are not supposed to use on a BLP ever), there is virtually no necessary information in this article that is not repeated in other articles, except that he was attacked in prison (not relevant to notability), and an enumerated and improperly formatted list of conduct complaints (sourced to breaking news).

What does the reader get from having this article, which is not a biography but a list of legal cases, which are already covered on other articles and covered better! If it is possible to write an article on Chauvin that does not duplicate other articles and clearly has a reason to exist besides it being for the sake of it, this is not it, and this article shows no evidence that it is capable of becoming that. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:13, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Chauvin has been reported on for a number of different crimes, with sources also devoting significant space to his earlier life and career. While Chauvin murdering Floyd no doubt initiated all of this, sourcing is, at this point, sufficient for a standalone article. Cortador (talk) 05:52, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not per WP:CRIMINAL, the relevant notability guideline. The content that isn't in other articles is unencyclopedic and irrelevant to any notability, and if kept shouldn't even be included in the article (with the exception of his early life, but that is sourced entirely to sparse mentions in articles from the month after the crime). The claim to notability is entirely based on the Floyd killing. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:56, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. He clearly meets the second prong you discussed for the significance of coverage around his role to this day and in a global context. It isn’t “just contemporaneous.” The reporting on Chauvin has investigated the whole context of his life and career and his role continues to be pivotal to this historic event and the discussions still occurring. This feels like saying Lee Harvey Oswald shouldn’t have an article as his notability is exclusively due to one very historic crime-the crime is of such significance that reliable sources have since investigated and discussed him and his past actions.~Malvoliox (talk | contribs) 15:51, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:CRIMINAL: "2. [The crime] has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event." We've certainly met that threshold. The trial of Derek Chauvin does not go into the same detail that this article does, in part because not all biographical elements of his life are admissible as evidence at trial. There are details about Chauvin that will never fit cleanly into other articles. Details that readers clearly seek, given page views of this article versus related ones TheSavageNorwegian 16:33, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    "indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role." The sourcing does not discuss Chauvin as a person extensively. He was there, he did it, that is all they really say. He is the perpetrator but the sourcing does not focus on him outside of legal notice. Someone like Lee Harvey Oswald has extensive coverage about their life outside of the legal case - Chauvin has almost none. This article is sourced almost exclusively to routine legal proceedings.
    Page views are not notability. Whatever details this article has (he went to a certain school, tax fraud case) that the others don't are superfluous and aren't needed to understand the Floyd killing. We have WP:BLP1E for a reason. PARAKANYAA (talk) 17:50, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    "The sourcing does not discuss Chauvin as a person extensively." Yes it does: [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32]. Levivich (talk) 18:11, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    5 of those are from right after the murder happened or trial coverage, so they do not "persist beyond contemporaneous news coverage". The first one has him in the title but I checked it and it recaps the murder and analyzes the murder. It gives no information on him as a person. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:33, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    What you call "right after the murder" is not what I would call "right after the murder":
    • May 25, 2020: the murder happened
    • A few days later, May 29, 2020, WaPo's profile of Chauvin [33]. That is contemporaneous news coverage, right after the murder.
    • Seven months after the murder, Dec. 23, 2020: "Derek Chauvin: Racist Cop or Product of a Racist Police Academy?" published in the Journal of Black Studies. That is neither contemporaneous, nor news coverage. [34]
    • Nine months after the murder, Feb. 6, 2021, PBS's profile of Chauvin [35]
    • Ten months after the murder, Mar. 10, 2021, BBC's profile of Chauvin [36]
    • Eleven months after the murder, Apr. 20, 2021, CNN's profile of Chauvin [37]
    • A year and two months after the murder, Jun 25, 2021, NYT's profile of Chauvin [38].
    It is not true that the first source--the Journal of Black Studies article--"gives no information on him as a person", e.g.: Chauvin was the product of a highly militarized police academy that molds recruits into human robots programmed to enforce laws that target predominantly African-Americans ... Chauvin’s record with the Minneapolis Police Department included 'at least 17 complaints' ... Though Officer Chauvin had several complaints filed against him, he 'received only two letters of reprimand' ... it is, perhaps, not too great a leap to attribute Chauvin’s homicidal act to being “educated away from . . . [Black] culture” (Asante, 1993, p. 170) as well as living away from it ... Had Chauvin had the benefit of an Afrocentric education and training or even greater exposure to the Black life and culture of the inner city, he may have been able to resist perceiving Floyd as a violent criminal and view with greater empathy a man begging for his life. It's perhaps more psychoanalysis than biography, it's not the most detailed RS about Chauvin, but it certainly gives information about Chauvin.
    Take away the WaPo and the Journal of Black Studies articles, and you still have PBS, BBC, CNN, and NYT writing profiles of him months or over a year after the event. And that's just what I found in five minutes of googling his name. Levivich (talk) 18:53, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Those are during the trial, which contemporaneous to that event, they are recapping to remind the audience paying attention to the trial. Look at the headings - "What charges does Chauvin face?" "What has happened since Chauvin's arrest?" etc, yes that's WP:ROUTINE legal developments which will happen with the perpetrator of any murder case. The PBS is not, but is a personal interview with people who knew him which is WP:PRIMARY.
    The journal source is, as evidenced by the text you excerpt, useless for developing a BLP, and it does not give information on him that would help developing an article. It's all hypotheticals or abstract he may have been, had Chauvin had the benefit. And two sentences about his police record. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:01, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, meets WP:CRIMINAL because the murder of George Floyd is a well-documented historic event, and because sustained coverage of the event in RS persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to Chauvin. WP:NOPAGE arguments don't convince me: the content about Chauvin that is not about his murder of Floyd, e.g. his history of excessive force, his experience in prison, etc., would be WP:UNDUE in articles about the murder of Floyd. Chauvin is a notable criminal. Having an article about Floyd, an article about Chauvin, and an article about Chauvin's murder of Floyd, is the best way to split up coverage of that topic. If we were to combine it, we'd have undue problems, and page size problems, given the vast amount of RS coverage of Floyd, Chauvin, and the murder. Levivich (talk) 18:15, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The prison content is not even due weight here. It is completely unrelated to his notability. The main article can easily address that he had several improper use of force complaints in a paragraph or so. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:35, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Being stabbed in prison is a significant WP:ASPECT of his biography, and that's covered by WP:NPOV, not WP:N. Significant WP:ASPECTs are included in articles regardless of whether they are related to the subject's notability or not. Levivich (talk) 18:56, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It clearly isn't. Do we have sources reflecting on the ramifications of him being stabbed in prison? no, it's mentioned exclusively by WP:BREAKING news. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:02, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, this is not a discussion I am creating on the grounds of notability. I have no doubts that this subject is technically "notable". However, it is a clear violation of WP:NOPAGE and WP:MERGEREASON, which I feel are two policies often forgotten about when creating a page (someone can make a page on something, but nobody asks if they should).

With that out of the way, I will say flat out that there is almost nothing to say about the ladder scene in MGS3 besides the fact that it exists. It can literally be summarized in a singular sentence on the lines of "At one point in the game, the player has to climb an extremely tall ladder for three minutes." Maybe give a few sentences in the reception section of the game article about how the scene was interpreted by critics or how it inspired other sections in other games, and boom. You've summarized the subject without leaving out any important information. Because no other information exists.

And to further reaffirm what I mean by that, I am the primary author of Snake Eater (song), as well as the user who got it to GA status. That song is most commonly associated with this scene. However, the song I believe warranted a spin-out because not only did it demonstrate notability, but there was information about its development and analysis of its lyrics. There is a complete article to be had there that covers all the bases that should be expected out of a spinout. Now go back to "That song is most commonly associated with this scene." As a result of that, I have basically checked every source that exists regarding this scene. For further reassurance, I also checked every source cited on this page (except the Metagaming book). Yet, there remains almost nothing to be said about the subject beyond a sentence or two and something that could easily be contained within a Reception and/or Legacy section within the article for MGS3. A proper, encyclopedic article on something like this cannot exist solely because of what critics thought of it. It needs context and reasoning as to why it should have a separate article. See WP:NOPAGE and WP:MERGEREASON.

Basically, there is nothing to be said about this scene. It is "notable", but also fails WP:NOPAGE and MERGEREASON, with almost no development info or anything beyond the fact the scene exists and how journalists reacted to it. You could easily summarize this in the article for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater with little to no consequences towards its coverage. In-fact, covering the subject in an article that actually discusses it as part of the greater subject (and therefore, giving more context) would likely benefit coverage of the scene. I suggest either a merge or a redirect to Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. λ NegativeMP1 01:01, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Procedural keep WP:WRONGFORUM, the nominator admits this is not a deletion discussion and that the page is notable and passes WP:GNG with significant coverage. I understand AfDing a non-notable page when you have a potential merge target in mind, but AfDing a notable page makes no real sense. Furthermore, there are plenty of standalone pages on similar equally brief gameplay topics such as Cow level and The Goat Puzzle, so its brevity has no bearing on whether it needs to be merged and the rules don't state that "short things do not deserve their own article". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 06:25, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:NOPAGE is part of notability, so this is still the right place. PARAKANYAA (talk) 06:29, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    NOPAGE clearly states that it is meant to apply to stubs with almost no content. "Sometimes, when a subject is notable, but it is unlikely that there ever will be a lot to write about it, editors should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of creating a permanent stub." The amount of information on this topic is far more than just a stub and there is absolutely enough content to justify a standalone page. It just does not seem like it is enough to head to AfD instead of a merge discussion (which is far more about opinions than policy violations). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 06:37, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    No it doesn't, it gives as examples large scale sections of presidential campaigns and whether other articles provide "needed context". Both apply here. With merge discussions, often no one will contribute besides the page creator or WikiProject members, so an AfD is better to get eyes on things. PARAKANYAA (talk) 06:52, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Just because you think AfD is more frequented does not mean it can be used for any random issue. The fact is that there is NO WP:DELREASON that this page violates, and it is not a content fork and was created whole cloth. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 06:57, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The WP:DELREASON is that by failing WP:NOPAGE it becomes a notability problem. Because NOPAGE is part of notability. PARAKANYAA (talk) 06:59, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The entire basis of the AfD (that it "violates" NOPAGE) does not make sense. NOPAGE is a matter of opinion and is extremely vague. Which is why merge discussions even exist and you can't just point to the fact that something *could* be merged to justify starting an AfD. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 07:50, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. The article seems lacking in a show of independent notability, and works best to improve the content of the main article(s). I also find the procedural keep argument uncompelling; as noted by Parakanyaa, an article having a NOPAGE conflict is perfectly valid as a DELREASON. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 07:49, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Independent notability with GNG is passed; the Metagaming book has several pages on it, there are two full articles from reliable sources otherwise, and multiple paragraphs in a list, among other things. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 07:53, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per above. I find the NOPAGE argument to be a reasonable one for this discussion: there's just not enough meat on this bone to justify it being on its own, and the reception doesn't change that.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 09:45, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not appear to have the needed WP:SIGCOV to meet WP:SPORTSBASIC. The current sources in the article are primary to the clubs the subject played for and a search elsewhere didn't reveal anything that would help this subject meet the GNG. Let'srun (talk) 00:52, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
