  • Delete I've added what appears to be a working website for this school; it's to a school of this name in Lebanon. I can't find any references that definitively say where this school is located, or other information.

  • Refusal to delete I refuse to delete the page because the personality deserves a wikipedia page. First, it contains 10 references in a specific section attesting that Kayla Braffet is deserving. The references come from Swedish newspapers recognized as reliable sources of information. She recently signed in a big football club. Therefore, erasing this page does not make sense. Because she is known in Sweden and in the world of women's football. It is therefore logical to maintain this page and not to erase it.Susanowoo 00:12, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete reads like WP:PROMO and all the sources look to be WP:ROUTINE Abcmaxx (talk) 18:42, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article says she played for the Chicago Red Stars in the NWSL, which is a WP:FPL. I'm not sure why people are saying she fails WP:NFOOTY. The article needs cleanup, but that's not what AFD is for. Smartyllama (talk) 20:57, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Although playing for the Red Stars would confer notability, I have found no evidence she was anything other than a practice squad player. Therefore, she fails WP:NFOOTY and apparently WP:GNG as well. If someone can provide evidence she actually played a game with the Red Stars, I would reconsider. Smartyllama (talk) 21:02, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the given sources are all WP:ROUTINE, either regular transfer/match coverage or not from independent sources (as with the first and ninth). Just like Smartyllama, I could not find any proof that she actually played in a game for the Red Stars, so she fails WP:NFOOTY as well. 21.colinthompson (talk) 22:03, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and redirect to The Proms. Maybe take whatever is salvageable from the article and put it in that redirect target. Passing mentions online plus the reasons the nom gave makes this a delete. The 2008 Doctor Who Prom which is much better sourced than this article, may have been a one off thing in terms of these proms being notable enough for a stand alone article. JC7V (talk) 06:08, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment a merge with Doctor Who Prom (2008) would probably be best, but that would take more effort than I believe anyone is likely to put in. Failing that, a merge to The Proms seems best. I don't see any reason to keep individual articles on every concert in this long and annual series, based on some of the other concert series we have it might be reasonable to have an article on each year; the 2013 article would be another possible merge target. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:19, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Doctor Who Prom (2008) as above, will do the merge Atlantic306 (talk) 19:30, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as it is not notable, but a redirect to Doctor Who Prom (2008) is possible. Personally I find an article on an individual Prom concert to be entirely pointless, and I would have it as a general article on Doctor Who music at the Prom rather than one from a specific year, therefore Doctor Who Prom (2008) should not really exist but an article Doctor Who Prom may (convert the disambiguation page into a general article). Hzh (talk) 23:12, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Delete As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations I did wonder if it had enough notability, but I am persuaded by the arguments here against retaining the article. I think a general Doctor Who Prom article might be the way to and it could cover this prom, Doctor Who Prom (2008) and Doctor Who Prom (2010), the last of which currently has no article, but is a redirect.

  • Delete the only claim of notability is roles in a series of minor pageants (and the article says she both organized and won the same pageant?), which probably wouldn't be sufficient even if well-sourced; sourcing is atrocious - mostly broken links to social media sites. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:22, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In short, this is a list of various tenures of PMs of Australia and the number of former PMs alive during that tenure. Do we need such a convolution of existing data on wikipedia.

  • Delete Fascinating? but certainly not encyclopedic, ie, what is the use of the articles. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, hence does not count. Sadly someone has done a lot of work. Definitely looks like WP:OR and mild WP:SYNTH. I note that at least one of the other existing articles is already tagged as such. If a graph could be provided of the number alive at any point in time it might be a !definite keep? Aoziwe (talk) 10:50, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep No, the List of Prime Ministers of Australia by age can't be used to see the same information. The two Age columns are for the age at which the PM assumed office, and the age at which they left it. The Died column (the date of death) might have been used this way, but it sorts the living PMs (ie without a death date) next to those with the earliest death dates - and in any case, we'd need to be able to sort by multiple columns at once. This article could do with some improvement in the text (I don't think we've had any dead people who've served as PM), and it needs references, plus I would suggest reordering the columns to Start date, Start event, End date, End event, Duration, Living PMs - but it is a very useful tool for seeing which former PMs were alive at any point in time. As for whether it's a topic that is notable and has coverage: there are often articles about living former prime ministers in regards to how many are drawing pensions, and when one dies, how many are still alive and/or turn up at the funeral.

  • Delete of the current 4 references, #1 and #2 are to his appearance in the "Golden Book of World Records", #4 is a trivial mention. #3 [1] is more substantial, but not enough. The claim that he heads the project smile train in Chhattisgarh fails verification. Google search results just give social media, reviews on "doctor review" sites; nothing substantial.

With no inline citations, and no references after each paragraph, it is difficult to keep this article in the mainspace. It may also include original research. As far as notability, I am not opining.

  • Delete per nom's OR concerns. Further, there doesn't appear to be any convention of creating articles about "Hygiene and Sanitation in Country X". I would propose merging with Health in Myanmar, but the lack of inline citations would possibly make this more difficult than just sourcing new content. Copying the reflist to Health in Myanmar's talk page may be appropriate. signed, Rosguill talk 21:13, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify The sourcing issue needs to be fixed, otherwise it looks like there are enough sources to suggest that it might be a valid topic. Whether there are previous precedents for "Hygiene and Sanitation in Country X" is neither here nor there (something has to be the first), although there are many articles on "Water supply and sanitation in "Country X", one possibility is therefore retitling it after the sourcing has been fixed and rewritten, or it can stay as Hygiene and sanitation in Myanmar if there is enough RS on the issue to warrant its own article. Hzh (talk) 13:25, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Health in Myanmar; the lack of inline sourcing and the style issues (a heading "What Else Is Being Done") make a merge by anyone other than the original author almost impossible. If anyone can access the sources and wants to try, I encourage them to do so. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:31, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Sources with any sort of substantial coverage? These are utterly trivial books. They don't justify an article. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:50, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We don't let the triviality of the books determine notability or substitute our judgment of the triviality of the books for the judgment of RS. If the books are reviewed then the RS have decided the author is notable. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 14:21, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Weak keep. At first I thought it didn't meet WP:NMUSIC and I typed out a whole blurb about not being able to find any sources... then I re-read the article. "they were signed by Oregon record label Rise Records in November 2006." Well Rise Records is a subsidiary of BMG, which is definitely a major label, therefore passes WP:NMUSIC #5 (signed to major label). At the same time, I'm not really sure this is enough to keep this article, for there's really no reliable sources for this article... other than Allmusic and two sentences from metalarchives. Would like to hear from other people's opinions on this one.Awsomaw (talk) 21:43, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. But is a subsidiary of a Major label automatically significant? Typically the major label's only connection is ownership. Sometimes a label is something that is acquired in a larger purchase of an umbrella parent company. Shouldn't the label's significance be assessed per its own merits rather than by who owns it? Have there been previous discussions/consensus on this? ShelbyMarion (talk) 22:19, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. I'm not really sure myself, I just assumed that subsidiaries of major labels world count, since there's so many artists that fall under that branch. I may be wrong though, maybe someone more knowledgeable on these rules could inform me.Awsomaw (talk) 22:38, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Rise records was bought by BMG in 2015 - well after the band signed and subsequently broke up. So was Rise records a major label at the time? noq (talk) 12:39, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Even if it isn’t a major label at the time, WP:MUSIC also accepts “one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).” Rise Records definitely has a lot of history; and their lineup is incredibly strong; I know quite a few bands on their list from my emo phase; and all of them have wiki articles and are notable in their own right, charting on billboard and participating in large festivals.Awsomaw (talk) 14:55, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Since Rise Records has had more than a decade of history by the time they signed the band, and the fact that many bands on their roster at the time were notable, I will change to weak keep. Awsomaw (talk) 15:13, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
After re-reading #5 of WP:NMUSIC, the rule only applies if they released 2 albums on the label. They only released 1 album on the label, therefore, I don't think the rule applies. I'll still keep it as Weak keep because of the reason provided by Michig. Awsomaw (talk) 14:06, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a computer security expert, not properly referenced as meeting a Wikipedia notability standard. The references here are not reliable source media coverage about him -- right across the board, they're primary sources, media sources in which he's the bylined author and not the subject, or glancing namechecks of his existence as a giver of soundbite in coverage of other things. The editor who brought it to my attention as a potential AFD candidate has also already removed a couple of bad sources, namely a patent application directory and a Facebook post, which aren't notability-building references either. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their existence can be technically verified on the web -- this article says nothing about him that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG on the strength of real media coverage about him.

...not a suitable addition to the encyclopedia because it seems mostly to consist of a regurgitation of a data table produced elsewhere, with little or no context to show that secondary sources consider this a notable set of statistics. That one source is pretty clearly attached to the tourism industry, so its own interest in the subject would not count towards notability. Even if you had those secondary sources, you generally would not copy this entire table into the article, but simply pull a few important data points and give a reference to the rest (from my advice on User talk:Elise Furgurson) — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 02:58, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep clearly of encyclopedic interest, this deals with global numbers and than breaks out data by country. We have many articles on various economic activity. It is really interesting to compare countries because it says a lot about different economies. I'm not bothered that the data is publised by a tourism industry source.

  • Delete. Neither "We have other such lists" nor "It's interesting" are good arguments in a deletion discussion. WP:LISTN is not the most helpful notability guideline, but it says: "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". That doesn't seem to be the case here. Rather, the data seems to be aggregated into such a list only by statistics websites that advertise having billions of such data sets. Beyond the notability issue, both our article and the statistics website that's the main source contain bizarre misinterpretations or errors of fact (different ones!), and there's a decided WP:SYN element to the list.

  • Comment - Those include statistics websites with different and conflicting data, a blog, a press release and a bunch of otherwise problematic sources. There are a few in there that might actually be helpful, but I'll wait to see whether it's actually possible to improve the article itself (which still contains a blatant error of fact) before reconsidering my opinion. Summarizing the gist in the tourism article might be a good solution. Huon (talk) 21:53, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If there is an error - fix it. You can dismiss one of the links as a press release, which it is, but it is a press release by a United Nations agency, not some commercial press release. Legacypac (talk) 21:59, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – I'd be a bit concerned about the conflation of tourism, per se, with other varieties of travel. The combination of the two certainly looks bigger than tourism alone, but most of the interest is in tourism itself. And one of the things that can often be found alongside interest in tourism is boosterism, hence my interest in keeping WP articles as close to neutral as possible. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 23:10, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It was not just her age (112 years) that was notable. For the last two years of her life, she was the last Australian living who had been born before Australia became a nation, and she, and her experience of her life, became notable because of that. The List of supercentenarians from Oceania does not, and cannot, record that. She meets WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:21, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This article blatantly fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO1E, WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:NOPAGE. There is no policy that the "oldest x" is notable and this article is packed with longevity fancruft like administrative changes in her lifetime and all her various moves. Furthermore, she does not inherit per WP:NOTINHERITED the notability of Australia's shift from colony to country just because she was a citizen of both entities. And as the article itself says, "Her life was very ordinary until she reached the age of 110." Enough said. She belongs on a list, nothing more. Newshunter12 (talk) 01:18, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Well, it seems that there is a group of editors determined to remove all articles about supercentenarians. I expect you will succeed. I don't find terms like 'blatantly', 'packed with' and 'fancruft' rational - they seem highly emotive. (I had to look 'fancruft' up - I gather it's a term that originated on Wikipedia.) And, like all Wikipedia guidelines, WP:BIO1E seems to be applied somewhat subjectively. I would not consider that being notable for a period of two years for one's extreme age, for living across 3 centuries, and for being the last person born before nationhood, counts as 'one event'.

  • Comment "I found the page, read "Her life was very ordinary" and knew how to vote." Most people's lives are ordinary before they become notable, and some people's lives are ordinary after they have been notable. Living to an advanced age is not a criterion that excludes someone from being notable. Oh, and then "not dying for a hundred years"? Easy, right? I have gathered from the so-called Wikipedia project Longevity that this round of deletions is meant to be establishing guidelines for notability among supercentenarians. I have seen no evidence of that whatsoever in the votes of members of that project. Some supercentenarians get far more coverage, over a longer period of time, than others.

  • Keep. I agree that this is not good as a standalone article, but the information is fulfilling Wikipedia's mission. Ideally, this should be merged to an overview article, but no suitable article seems to exist. So either keep as is until Ancient Germanic symbols, or similar article, is created and mark it for merging, or else repurpose to the more notable topic and mark it as needing expansion. Either way, I am at WP:PRESERVE on this one. SpinningSpark 13:54, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

More importantly, it was a trivial mention, just an image with a caption in a long list. The other might be okay, actually, although the information cited to it seems dubious to me personally.

PROD'd and dePROD'd earlier today.

Original PROD reasoning: Searched Google, GBooks, GNews, AllAfrica.com, and found nothing about this sculptor except profiles on commercial art sales sites. The ref given in the article is a good example of the kind of unreliable sources I found - it's a group that sells sculptures so it has a direct commercial interest in the subject and is therefore not independent. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST. (This article is also a somewhat apparent paraphrase of the source, but not quite enough that I was comfortable G12ing it).

De-PROD'd after the addition of three sources. I am of the opinion that they don't indicate that the subject meets NARTIST at all. The two sources from the Herald (via AllAfrica.com) are simply mentions of his name in the context of other things. The one from news day spends all of two sentences mentioning the subject. It's not enough to keep an article.

Merely exhibiting, even in one notable museum, doesn't meet point 4 of NARTIST; the exhibit itself has to be significant. Otherwise the works have to be permanently in the collection of several notable galleries or museums. ♠PMC(talk) 10:21, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I added the references and removed the PROD. I have concerns about finding information on individual sculptors from Zimbabwe. The permanent collection of the National Gallery of Zimbabwe is not searchable online, as the national galleries of many countries are. International exhibitions are often reported in the media of the countries visited as simply 'Shona Art', with far more of the article expended on the organisers of the trip than the artists. The artists' names may be spelled in different ways, making searching difficult. Zimbabwe itself has been dangerous to visit for many years, media has not been independent, and it is not a place which outsiders are likely to visit to write about the artists. So it is hard to see how the significant coverage of prominent sculptors (or other professionals) is going to be found. If the articles that do mention them state that certain artists are notable, and have inspired others, or the artists have been exhibited internationally, that is evidence that they are notable. It may be worth digging in the permanent collection indexes of major galleries outside Zimbabwe, to see what Zimbabwean sculpture they have and whether they have recorded the artists' names. I don't know whether there have been previous discussions on this or similar topics, but I think that these artists deserve more than a PROD. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:37, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The argument that this is a "dangerous" country (it's not much more dangerous than many other parts of Africa), and that it lacks media coverage as a country because of economic inequality or lack of development etc. is beside the point. There's a policy for this, which I cannot remember, but essentially it says we are not here to address world inequalities. You either have the sources or do not; we are blind to social, economic or developmental conditions on the ground. (Additionally, I can easily read hundreds of recent articles written by independent publications in and out of Zim, so I am not sure what the comment above is about.) What is relevant to this discussion is the fact that that sources are not available for this artist to support his notability. I saw one in Google books and not much more elsewhere. GNG fail based on lack of independent reliable sources.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:27, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I'd like to hear the opinion of someone from Zimbabwe. Is it likely this person is covered in undigitized Zimbabwean sources? Many African countries have very little of their local media digitized. It might just take a trip to a local library there. Kaldari (talk) 18:39, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep while continuing to source more information. Having work displayed in the National Gallery is nothing to sneeze at, it's already clear that he's shown internationally from the EU to South Korea, and the News Day source alone gives decent information about him specifically, including some biographical details. That's no small feat for a sculptor from Zimbabwe, and so should be enough to meet NARTIST 4b, substantial part of a significant exhibition, since "significant" should be considered in context. I expect what RebeccaGreen and Kaldari are suggesting is not to right great wrongs, but simply consider the context of sources created about Zimbabwean individuals. If he was an artist from the US or UK, you might expect more significant coverage in more sources, but for a Zimbabwean artist, significant mention in online sources is much rarer, and since someone has already found a few I'd expect more sources to be uncovered with more time and digging. Siko (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:18, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would argue that a "significant" exhibition is one which is independently notable, which none of his exhibitions seem to be. The two sentences in Newsday may provide information about him, but they hardly constitute significant in-depth coverage. ♠PMC(talk) 23:10, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you're getting at, but I note that we do not have notability standards based on the cultural, economic or social development of a city or country. To do so we would have to have a policy (we don't have one) or each editor would have to exercise a subjective scale in interpreting sources, depending on the development of the country (we don't do that). The fact of the matter is that unless you are a Zimbabwean curator or museum director who is familiar with the scene there, an individual can't really gauge his notability. This is why we rely on independent RS: to eliminate the guesswork and notability handicapping that you suggest above, and to keep a minimum of objectivity in the process. We don't need to make assumptions about the state of a country, or to make arguments for why the person might not show up int he press. We just need to assess and count the sources. Zimbabwe itself has plenty of reliable source publishers that can be found online, but unfortunately this artist does not show up in them frequently enough to be considered notable.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:49, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did a bit more research, Coldhart is a member of a emo-rap group called GothBoiClique which used to include Lil Peep. Many other articles mention Coldhart, including this one about another member of GothBoiClique added to Billboard's music festival. This still does not pass notability standards, but I'd like to point out that GothBoiClique is notable enough to have their own article, where Coldhart can be redirected to and talked about.

Comment @Citrivescence: Come on now. Gossip from gossip sites is not notability. Gossip about not getting a spin off isn’t notability. Atlanta Black Star is not a reliable source nor is HelloBeautiful. Redirection is the only viable choice. I’m simply pointing out that because she lacks actual significant coverage from reliable sources rather than gossip sites who talk about what rapper she’s dating, no one has actually manages to find such absolutely basic information like her real name People really grasped for straws for this “source”; I never said lack of verifiable details is the lack of notability (I could have worded that differently), it’s the lack of significant coverge from reliable sources why I proposed deletion. Not 1 independent a/o reliable source was given here and when I actually tried to look, not 1 was found. “Karlie Redd gets engaged” is not notable whatsoever.Trillfendi (talk) 00:08, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @Trillfendi: My sense is that she is very notable outside of mainstream news outlets. She is also a musician and an actress, and accordingly I found sourcing in other outlets that cover hip hop and African American entertainment (which are not gossip sites): www.thesource.com, www.ebony.com, www.chicagodefender.com. The page can be improved. And aside from the sourcing, I don't think a marriage is non-notable simply because certain audiences may not know or care about someone. --Citrivescence (talk) 16:36, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Citrivescence: I’m not saying marriage is notable, I’m saying “Karlie Redd gets engaged” headlines don’t do it. As shown on Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta, she doesn’t have a music career to speak of. And outside of a one minute role in Top Five, she doesn’t really have an acting career to speak of either.Trillfendi (talk) 16:46, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable. This appears to be an innovation of Jaggi Vasudev's Isha Foundation and the temple is on their private grounds. The Dictionary of Hinduism citation is about "Bhairavi" and not "Linga Bhairavi". A couple of other citations are from the Isha Blog and the official site of the subject. Most of the other citations see mentions of the subject during Navaratri celebrations on the aforementioned grounds and one for a CD released in the subject's honour by a devotee and singer. There is one Springer source that does note a "Linga Bhairavi yantra" but again, in the context of the Isha Foundation. I believe that these are insufficient.

Improperly written and improperly referenced article about an artist. This is not written as a biographical article at all, but instead starts with a header titled "critique of her works" and then proceeds from there to be exactly the original research essay, complete with addressing the reader as "you" in the second person, of your nightmares. And then at the end it just devolves into straight-on résumé.
And for referencing, we just have (a) her self-published résumé, and (b) a bare-url'ed link that just goes to a ProQuest login screen, which I can't log into because my ProQuest access doesn't work that way -- but even when I do log into my ProQuest account through the method that does work for me, I still can't find a piece of content in it that actually supports any of the art criticism essay parts that are referenced to it.
She might have a legitimate claim of notability, so no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can actually show and reference one. But this, as written, is so egregiously bad that it needs the blow it up and start over treatment regardless of her notability or lack thereof. Bearcat (talk) 07:25, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Yes, the article is awful, but she is notable, with work in the National Gallery of Canada and significant coverage in Female Gazes: Seventy-five Women Artists (book chapter devoted to her), Feminism and Contemporary Art: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Laughter, Faking Death: Canadian Art Photography and the Canadian Imagination, In visible light: photography and classification in art, science and the everyday, etc. Much of the existing content would need to be cut. --Michig (talk) 10:15, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I never said she didn't have a potential claim of notability, I merely said that as written it's a pile of garbage that needs such a fundamental top-to-bottom overhaul of every single thing about it that recreating a new article is more appropriate than simply trying to clean this version up (which won't actually happen anytime soon, if Wikipedia's record on such matters is anything to go by). Bearcat (talk) 22:26, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So now you admit that you nominated an article for deletion even though you knew the subject was notable? You ought to withdraw this nom. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 14:54, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's not how it works. Notable topics can still have their articles deleted if the article is problematic — deletion does not create a permanent ban on her ever being allowed to have an article at all, because people are allowed to try again if they can do better. We most certainly can delete even notable topics if the article that actually exists has other problems besides notability itself, such as being a copyright violation or a blatant advertisement or an original research essay instead of a properly written encyclopedia article. Bearcat (talk) 19:59, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it is too how it works. There is no deletion policy that supports deleting an article whose subject satisfies the GNG just because you think the article sucks. Cite some policy if I'm wrong. And don't cite anything to do with copyright violations, because obviously that's not on point. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 21:19, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Reat WP:TNT, which quite clearly specifies that articles can be deleted regardless of notability if they're written so egregiously badly that restarting the whole thing from scratch would be easier and more efficient than trying to clean up all the problems with the existing version. And the next time you feel any sort of urge to play the "I know how Wikipedia works better than a person who's been a well-respected Wikipedia administrator for 15 years, with a very strong reputation for knowing the ropes" card, put it back in the deck and leave it there. Bearcat (talk) 22:16, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Interestingly, I read WP:TNT a long time ago. I started with the template on the top "which quite clearly specifies that" it is an essay and is not policy. Of course articles can be deleted regardless of notability for any reason whatsoever. All it takes is an admin with no scruples who doesn't understand the difference between a policy and an essay and who thinks that the argument from authority isn't a fallacy to hit one button. And the next time you feel any sort of urge to play the "I know how Wikipedia works better than an IP whose qualifications I have no way whatsoever of knowing" card, put it back in the deck and leave it there. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. But you probably won't be. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 14:18, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have no reason to be ashamed of myself at all — but you obviously need to also read WP:ONLYESSAY if you think "that's only an essay and not a policy" is a valid counterargument to what I said. We have policies to explain what to do and guidelines to clarify how to do it, so guidelines are every bit as binding as full policies in the absence of a compelling reason to make an exception to them, and are not ignorable just because they're "essays". Deleting a bad article does not prevent a better one from being recreated after the deletion, so one does not have to be "unscrupulous" to support the TNT principle at all — one simply has to actually care about the quality of Wikipedia content, which is not a bad thing (though it may well be a pointless "King Canute trying to hold back the tide" thing, at the rate things are going.) Bearcat (talk) 16:03, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Another thing about that only-an-essay is that it recommends that deletion is only appropriate when there is an actual reason to delete the edit history, which is not the case here. So not only are you confusing essays with policy but the essays are not even on point. Perhaps shame isn't the appropriate response. Have you considered standing for reconfirmation as an admin? And at least you've dropped your "you can't possibly know as much about WP as I do because you are only a lowly IP" argument. But it's embarrassing to everyone that you used it in the first place. For all you know I'm on the arbitration committee. You've certainly given no reason to believe that you understand WP better than I do and have provided significant evidence that you don't, King Canute. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 18:39, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There is such a thing as an article being so egregiously bad that even if the subject does pass a notability standard, deleting the existing version and restarting a new one from scratch is still preferable to simply attempting to clean up the existing article. This one has overshot that line by enough to land on the moon. Bearcat (talk) 22:23, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Then stub it. There's no justification in policy for deleting it if the subject meets the GNG. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 14:52, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Stub what? If I were to remove all of the inappropriate content from this article, what would be left is "Nicole Jolicoeur is an artist who exists, the end". Bearcat (talk) 19:59, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a city street, not properly referenced as clearing our notability standards for local roads. A city street is not automatically notable enough for its own article just because you can describe its physical characteristics, or even because you list the public transit routes that happen to use it -- the key to making a road notable enough is to show and reliably source some political, social or historical context for what makes it important. (For example, Christopher Street in New York City has an article, because it has a national historic designation as the nexus of the riot that changed LGBT history -- but the technically much busier arterial street in Toronto that I can spit onto from my bedroom window just has a redirect to a city neighbourhood it passes through, because its only real claim to notability is lending its name to that neighbourhood.) This, however, is referenced 5/7 to maps (and it was actually fully 3/4 mapsourced until I stripped the WP:CIRCULAR reference to a user-created Wikipedia map) -- and of the two sources that are actually text, one is a primary source government report from the municipal government, hence not a notability-building source, and the only one that's actually real WP:GNG-eligible media is a glancing namecheck of the street's existence in an article about the Confederation Line. Neither the context nor the sourcing here are enough to make a street notable enough for its own encyclopedia article. Bearcat (talk) 01:05, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Tag it for more development perhaps. Add a list of historic buildings along the street perhaps. It is the second street in from Wellington (Welllington runs in front of the parliament buildings, Sparks is the first street) in the capital of a nation which has reasonable economic and social and environmental policies and practices. I note there is Streets and highways of Washington, D.C. covering the capital of a lesser nation. There is List of roads in Ottawa which is not well-developed (it is just a list with no map and no discussion) but which could/should be better developed, and possibly some items like Queen Street could be merged/redirected to sections there, but there is no urgency IMO. --Doncram (talk) 05:58, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete None of the Keep votes so far have discussed sourcing, which is necessary for streets to be included in our encyclopedia. I agree with the nominator the sourcing for this street isn't quite there - three of the sources in the article are to Google Maps(!!). Also I've looked and found other articles about the street to try to improve the article, finding this [8] (interesting, but RS?), this webpage from the city [9], and these on the Confederation Line construction [10] [11]. I don't think any of these are significant/non-routine enough, and I can't find much else. If other Ottawa streets are more poorly sourced perhaps we should take a look at those as well, but WP:OSE.

  • Delete. Organizations are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they can technically be referenced to their own self-published websites. Our notability standards now are much tighter, and much more dependent on reliable source coverage than they were at the time of the first discussion, so the fact that I argued the other way the first time, with reasoning that would get me laughed out of clown college today, is ironic but not determinative.

WP:NOTLINKEDIN, WP:NOTWHOSWHO. This is a non-notable bio subject. All sourcing is primary. It's a résumé (appears to have literally been copy-pasted from a bio on his hard drive or maybe one of his websites, and was clearly being edited by him from day one, to include his hobbies, where he likes to eat, etc. While it's been cleaned up by me and many before me, what's left (without removing any unsourced but potentially legit info) simply isn't an encyclopedia article, it's a Who's Who in Libraries or Who's Who in SEO entry. The entire purpose of the page is promotional, of Price's websites and of his red-link friends, and was littered with WP:EL violations. The book prominently mentioned (twice) is from a self-publishing imprint, the offerings of which are almost all "how to make money on the Internet" types of no-name-author monographs.

Not speedily deletable since there's an assertion of importance (some awards). However, the awards are from a minor trade association in a sub-discipline (not entirely trivial, but does not establish notability, just professional competence in one field), and a back-pat from his alumni association, which is entirely trivial. I thought about prodding it, but it's clear that the subject himself comes back as an anon periodically to "maintain" the page; it would likely just get re-created in different wording later.

I'm not finding anything usable in a Google news search on him. His name is mentioned fairly often in library-related sites and publications, but just as a citation attribution, or as the name of a co-editor of a resource they're pointing to (which is now part of Library Journal and owned by Media Source Inc., not by him and the partner). There's nothing I can find that is in-depth coverage of him, in multiple, independent, reliable sources. By way of comparison, I am not encyclopedically notable, yet I have more press coverage (actually about, not just mentioning, me) than this subject does, and I put out a book with a legit major publisher, and have friends and collaborators whose names I could drop as links that aren't red. Price clearly isn't notable either. This is a vanity article that has slipped through the cracks (didn't even have any cleanup templates on it, somehow) since August 2004. It's had over 14 years to turn into a proper article, and it's just not going to happen.

  • Keep. Only someone unfamiliar with the goth–industrial subculture would contemplate deleting this; while they're no Sisters of Mercy or Nine Inch Nails, they're a well-known act in that scene, if a bit "classic". The problem for all such articles (bands with mostly pre-Internet popularity and influence, in a genre that's not a big seller like thrash metal or hip-hop and which peaked after the band's time, and mostly after the genre mutated toward industro-metal like Ministry/RevCo, Nine Inch Nails, and Rammstein) is that most RS coverage about them will be in paper sources, namely old music magazines, and mostly just European ones like NME and various that are not in English. The German article on the band seems to cite one that we're not using here at en.wiki yet, though I haven't looked it over. If someone has access to paper copies, Industrial Nation and other alt-rock mags of the late 1980s and early '90s would be about the best bets when it comes to US sources (though I guess it's vaguely possible they might have turned up in something more mainstream).  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  03:56, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Update: I've done a total overhaul on it, translating the much better German article; also integrated its addl. source of course. Still needs much better sourcing, but I can't see anything in there that would be a controversial claim. Anyway, it's not even faintly plausible this band isn't notable, given how well known/influential it is in its genres (twice, as both Girls Under Glass and Trauma), with recording contracts under at least four names, carried on major (well, major for the genre) labels like Metropolis, with 10 studio albums and at least 5 greatest-hits anthologies, and a live album, and a live and documentary DVD, and who have headlined at Wave-Gotik-Treffen and Gotham [UK] Festival, and who've toured with The Neon Judgement, Fields of the Nephilim, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, who have bands like Project Pitchfork open for them, who have multiple collaboration releases, [etc.]. This looks like it was a WP:IDONTKNOWIT nomination. All of that information was already in the super-ugly original article.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  11:29, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to the Levellers (band). And do the same for other members Jeremy Cunningham, Matt Savage (Levellers), and Charlie Heather (Levellers). And then protect against reversion of the redirects. All four articles, including this one on Jonathan Sevink, have been redirected to the band in the past, but the person behind all of them, an editor named Slade121, has reverted the redirects without giving further evidence of independent notability for each guy outside the band. Also note that each of these articles briefly introduces each band member in the first paragraph, and then repeats a basic history of the band. So each individual member's article has no assertion of notability outside the band, and I can find no evidence of such. This pattern has already been noticed for yet another member, Simon Friend, who was subjected to this AfD in which the ultimate decision was the same as my recommendation here. Note that the individual article for yet another band member, Mark Chadwick (Levellers), probably qualifies for notability due to his solo work outside the band, but that article also has a repeat of the basic band history, which should be axed. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:11, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Less than ten sources with nearly 40 years of articles. The primetime schedules are well-sourced and justified, but here (and especially since 1997-98, when kids TV on broadcast began to die and by 2008, nobody under the age of 14 could muster any care for it any longer), there's few sources (and some of them are literal PR). TV encyclopedias already have this information, so it's still existent in book form. If you can source every one of these in the next seven days, be my guest, but otherwise, we're looking at information the category system and text in each show's article can cover much better.

  • Delete all: WP:NOTTVGUIDE says historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. The operative word is, of course, "may" — and the case can be made that such historical significance needs to be verifiably demonstrated in reliable sources. As it is, however, these schedules are all undersourced at best even in terms of the information itself (and some are unsourced entirely, and for years at that). Yes, these schedules can be potentially interesting and/or useful… but that doesn't necessarily mean they should be on Wikipedia, nor does that exempt them from our sourcing policies. (I'll note as well that should these articles be deleted, the navbox {{US TV schedule Saturday morning}} won't have much reason to exist.) --WCQuidditch 00:08, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep all and in reply to ...such historical significance needs to be verifiably demonstrated in reliable sources... there are dozens of such sources listed/quoted in the Delrev for the last round of these AfDs. I don't want to spam this page with that long list of sources again, but there are scholarly works specifically discussing the historical significance of the scheduling of programming on Saturday mornings in the 1980s. For example, sources quoted in the delrev discuss the significance of Smurfs being on in the morning (and how that affected the development of news programs like Today). They contrast the lineups in the 1980s (filled with cartoons sponsored by toy companies selling toys) vs. the lineups at the same time in the 1990s (aimed at older children, tweens and teenagers, sponsored by clothing companies) vs. the lineups in the 21st century (tweens abandoned as a demographic because they don't watch TV on TV anymore, and instead focusing on adults).
If you read those quotes in the books and journals, you can then come look at the TV schedules linked above and see the actual lineups that the journals and books are discussing. You can see the counterprogramming, the lead-ins, the blocking, the tentpoling, and the change/development over time. This is an excellent reference. It has historical and encyclopedic value, and Wikipedia is a better place to have this information than anywhere else, because it's more likely to be accurate here. There are tons of reliable sources both to serve as a basis for the data, and to establish the notability of the data. It's a shame to delete it all.
Questions for those still not convinced: 1) Why is it important that they be deleted, what's the harm of leaving it? 2) If the sources posted thus far are insufficient, what sources would be sufficient to establish their notability/historical significance? What, written by whom, published where, would make the grade? Levivich (talk) 01:43, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Scheduling =/= the schedule. Scheduling as a subject may well be notable and worthy of an article - in fact one already exists (Broadcast programming). Wikipedia is not a TV guide and there is no point at which the TV schedule as a whole itself (as opposed to the techniques behind television scheduling) becomes encyclopedic, any more than the notability of telephone directories in general makes the content of specifc telephone directories notable. There may be cases in which specific artifacts of the television schedule rise to the level of encyclopedic content (e.g., instances of programming going head-to-head in a notable ratings competition such as the Monday Night Wars) and in those cases an article is justified, but not the schedule as a whole which is just an indiscriminate collection of information. FOARP (talk) 09:23, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@FOARP: Thank you for taking the time to reply. I understand what you're saying: scheduling is notable but not the schedule itself. I'm very new here and I cannot express how utterly confused I am about the difference between "indiscriminate collection of information" and a "discriminate" collection of information. Let me explain how I am looking at Wikipedia and maybe you or someone can help me see straight:
  • For example, on 1980–81_United_States_network_television_schedule_(Saturday_morning), every single show has its own article. Those articles include channels, release dates, etc. If I added airtime to those articles, sourced to TV Guide, wouldn't that be OK?
  • The_Tom_and_Jerry_Comedy_Show includes a list of episodes, and what day they aired. If I added the time of day, wouldn't that be OK?
  • There is an article about its production company Hanna-Barbera and a List of works produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, which includes when they aired
  • So the list of works is OK; a list of episodes is OK; listing the release dates, channels and airtimes is OK; an article about scheduling techniques is OK; ...but a "TV schedule," i.e. a list of notable television shows and what time they air... is not OK? I hope you can see how this is confusing to a newcomer. Levivich (talk) 04:43, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - same issues as previous bunch. These articles are a collection of WP:NOTTVGUIDE (electronic program guides) with mostly no sources at all, and those which have source, are just a TV guide source. Levivich's sources are really good but they do not belong on these articles, but on an article that talks about the subject of United States Saturday morning network television schedule. As it stands, these articles have no sources (WP:V), no context (WP:N) and are just an WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of information. --Gonnym (talk) 10:41, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Gonnym:, I have a question for you, and I'm not arguing with you, I only ask to avoid wasting my time (and yours). If I were to go through these articles and add sources – inline citations for every episode of every show, cited to Castleman, Harry and Podrazik, Walter J. (1984). The TV Schedule Book. McGraw-Hill. ISBN 0-07-010277-5., by page, or TV Guide, or local newspaper listings, or your source of choice... would that change your mind (or anyone else's)? I don't want to do the work if it's not going to matter in the end. But if it won't change your mind, then this isn't about lack of sources, right?
  • If I added a paragraph to the beginning of each article explaining (using sources from my delrev) the concepts of blocking, lead-in, counterprogramming, etc...if I added a summary paragraph about Saturday morning cartoons...If I added little summary blurb paragraphs summarizing each show... would that change our mind? I don't mind doing it but I don't want to waste my time. If it doesn't change your mind, then it's not about lack of context, right?
  • "Indiscriminate" means "done at random or without careful judgment." These television shows are organized by year, by time, by channel, and by season. So it's not random. It is only for the "Saturday morning cartoons" television block, only on the broadcast networks, and only lists notable TV shows...the time slot, networks, and shows all have their own articles. That seems like careful judgment in its selection and organization. How could it be better organized to be more discriminate and less indiscriminate?
  • Again I'm not trying to argue with you, but I don't want to add sources and explanatory paragraphs if it won't change anyone's mind anyway. Levivich (talk) 05:00, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'd still say it wouldn't help the article. Citing a TV guide that a show actually was on at that time is good for WP:V, but that does not mean that the 1975 Saturday morning TV shows was notable. Also, if you need to add the same exact lead paragraph to each article then again, creating an article for the subject of United States Saturday morning network television schedule and you can also add a List of United States Saturday morning network television programs - both of which are better suited than the current articles as they offer academic value and context. --Gonnym (talk) 07:23, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Gonnym: Thanks for the response. I was wondering about List of United States Saturday morning network television programs: would it be deleted? If I included in the list what network it aired on, and what time, would either of those be deleted? I'm guessing based on your comment at the delrev that channel yes, time no.
The academics who study Saturday morning cartoons focus on what time they're on. For example: Studying programmes closely as single texts also has the disadvantage of separating a programme from its place in the schedule of the day in which it was broadcast...Selecting individual programmes for study means extracting them from the flow of material of which they are a part, and which might have important effects on their meaning... While each programme or ad might be interesting to analyse in itself, more meanings relating to speed, pollution, road safety or masculine bravado might arise because of the connections between the programmes and ads in this television flow. - An Introduction to Television Studies, London: Routledge. The author is saying you cannot understand a television show without understanding its broadcasting context–the "flow"–what comes before, what comes after, and what is on at the same time. It's important that Tom & Jerry precedes Bugs Bunny. It's an example of pairing and lead-in.
For example: This study investigated the effects of various programming strategies, commonly employed by the networks, on program popularity for children...Simple correlations supported the relationship between program popularity and the following programming strategies: counterprogramming by type, block programming by type, inheritance effects, starting time, program familiarity, and character familiarity. - "Programming Strategies and the Popularity of Television Programs for Children", Human Communication Research journal. The study factored in start time, counterprogramming (what else is on at the same time), and blocking (like, Might Mouse + Tom & Jerry + Bugs Bunny + Popeye).
My point being, an article about Tom & Jerry would and should include its airing time, what came before and after it, and what was on at the same time. A list of Saturday morning television shows should have the same information. If you rearrange that into a TV schedule, that's an improvement, and a legitimate resource for academic researchers, or at least it seems that way to me. Just as much a valuable part of an encyclopedia of human knowledge as a list of all the species of moths, or a list of all the episodes of Game of Thrones. Levivich (talk) 08:35, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all. I !voted "keep" in the previous AfD mainly as a result of procedural unfairness, and I am still extremely uncomfortable with both of User:Sandstein's closes – but especially the first one, as I wrote last time. Even if the reasoning is seemingly sound, AfD needs to run its course to evaluate community consensus properly, and short-circuiting the process causes huge problems. (As a side note, I have found most of Sandstein's closes to be more well-grounded than the average, so I do not think it is bias on my part.)
Now, with that out of the way... Many of User:Levivich's sources would indeed be excellent for a standalone article or three covering the topic in prose, as it seems has already been pointed out. But as much as I dislike the essay on Wikipedia:Bombardment when it comes to WP:V and WP:N, it most certainly is a salient point in terms of other policies. WP:NOTTVGUIDE (which itself is often interpreted over-broadly, but not in this case) is very clear that Wikipedia is no place for full-fledged TV schedules, and for very good reason: it may be great material for a database, but it makes for a mess of an encyclopedia.
In short, Levivich's hard work is unfortunately tangential to the simple fact that the existence of these tables violates WP:NOT in and of itself. (This energy would be far better spent on stopping and reversing the constant deletion of incredibly valuable material from Wikipedia by users selectively and wildly inappropriately invoking NOTTVGUIDE where it obviously does not apply, e.g. simple program listings on articles with little traffic and therefore virtually no editors to defend them.)

You mean autobiography - see below on the reliableness of these sources. Legacypac (talk) 06:38, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - As the last AfD was so recent, there's no change in opinion so I'll repeat what I typed there; The All-China Women's Federation, Vision China Times, Yibada and GBTimes have extensive coverage of this person.[12][13][14][15]. The Journal of Modern Chinese History gave an extensive review of her autobiography as well as extensive biographical information.[16] And these are all just English language sources. Most certainly much more exists in Chinese. The nom needs to learn the basic tenants of Wikipedia:Notability. As WP:NEXIST states, notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. If there's an issue of a controversial statement in the article that you believe needs sourcing, consider placing a citation-needed tag at the specific content.Oakshade (talk) 06:03, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    As the article stands I'd have to tag almost every sentence with it, which would be obviously disruptive. If these sources actually support the information in the article, then we're talking, but as of now they don't. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 06:10, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you'd like to change WP:NOTABILITY to ignore the existence of in-depth coverage demonstrating passing WP:N and only go by the coverage that's placed in an article at the time of an Afd, then you'd have to make your case on WP:N's talk page, not try to push a new agenda in a single AfD.Oakshade (talk) 05:15, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete nothing in this article is verified. Her autobiography is exactly that - unverified and according to the Amazon write up, pretty fantastical. It appears like major life details were disputed for decades (maybe still) by offical sources. The Amazon write up disagrees with the two Woman in China page in significant details like her marriage(s), kids etc. The WIC source is pure propaganda and basically screams unreliable. Just look at some of the other stories there like [17] Without a real reliable source thos has to be removed. Legacypac (talk) 06:36, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because an Amazon publicity piece on a book disagrees with the one of the extensive coverages that exist of this person? What does this have to do with WP:NOTABILITY?Oakshade (talk) 07:00, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
One of the references may be propaganda, but that someone is notable enough for the CPC to propagandize about is itself an indicator of notability. If we were to write articles about modern Chinee people without reference to that kind of sources we wouldn't have much left. Atchom (talk) 19:03, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you can't see the problem with sourcing an encyclopedia article to propaganda, I really don't know what else to say. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 23:33, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For someone who is an administrator, you seem to be curiously unfamiliar with Wikipedia policies. First of all, dismissing Chinese official sources as "propaganda" is simplistic and POV. Secondly, even if they were propaganda, government sources are still considered reliable for factual information, see WP:BIASEDSOURCES. If you read academic writings such as The Cambridge History of China, they source enormous amounts of "propaganda". -Zanhe (talk) 00:00, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Look, I write about this stuff on an academic basis. I'm well aware of what's propaganda and what's not. The fact is you simply cannot write about modern PRC history without using loads of CPC "propaganda". To take a very basic example, there aren't any non-PRC government sources about the biographical backgrounds of most of the top Chinese leadership, but we can't simply not write about those people. Read some modern academic literature on Chinese politics if you don't believe me. Atchom (talk) 22:04, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This article fails WP:GNG, and WP:NOPAGE. There is no policy that being old is notable and nothing in the article is sourced, let alone sourced to independent reliable sources. I also agree with Legacypac's analysis of the autobiography and WIC as sources. Neither constitute a WP:RS as far as I can tell either, and should be disregarded.

  • Delete per my first nomination of this article. » Shadowowl | talk 09:40, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep - article is poorly written but it's simply ridiculous to question her notability. I'm familiar with the subject and have written several articles of early Communist Chinese spies (see Qian Zhuangfei, Li Qiang, Hu Di). Huang Mulan was one of Chinese Communist Party's most famous spies, highly praised by Premier Zhou Enlai for alerting party members of the defection of the Party head Xiang Zhongfa and saving the life of Politburo member Guan Xiangying. A Google search of her Chinese name yields more than 1500 books and more than 100,000 web pages, including numerous articles from mainstream media. Not only is her autobiography published by an academic publisher, it caused such a stir that it was reviewed by the Journal of Modern Chinese History, and elicited much debate in Chinese media, see Phoenix News. Guo Moruo, perhaps the most influential modern Chinese scholar, wrote a major novel based on her life, which has been adapted into multiple television dramas, see Xinhua. -Zanhe (talk) 10:21, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. [18] confirms she was a real person and is "notable". Quote from the article: ’ This book reviews the heroine’s life and her dedication to the revolution in the past 100 years, and it is indeed worth reading. ZHOU Bin (周斌), Institute of Modern History, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing--Jirangmoon (talk) 11:50, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As per above, meets GNG even if most sources are in Chinese. There is an article in zh-wiki about her (黄慕兰) which I tried to link under Languages, with no success. HouseOfChange (talk) 12:53, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I added some references that talk about her life in depth, supporting several claims made in the story. There is plenty of material in links given by Oakshade above to demonstrate notability and improve article further. HouseOfChange (talk) 14:04, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a person who has received some minor PR over the years, but who to my eye does not appear notable. The article seems to have been added by a user with COI (note - that is not strictly relevant to the AfD issue, but I mention it since I have mercilessly shorn the article of a lot of uncited assertions and peacockery - AfD discussion participants might want to look at the article history when weighing it in the balance).
