Snowflame (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An incredibly obscure comics villain. He's had a bit of a spur of re-appearances recently, and his subject matter seems like it would be discussed a lot, but there really isn't much on him. Google News hits turn up only Valnet and unreliable sources, Scholar yields no hits except for one book source, and Google Books search yields only the same book source: https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Legion_of_Regrettable_Supervillains/TUhmCwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Snowflame%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA245&printsec=frontcover

This book source is additionally entirely plot summary. There's no analysis, Reception, or really anything I can find that actually establishes the subject's notability. I'd be happy to withdraw this nom if anyone happens to stumble on anything I've missed, but this is just a genuinely obscure character with basically nothing to his name, and it at best a case of TOOSOON depending on how much Snowflame gets used going forward. This article is likely better off being redirected or merged into another article. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 20:01, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (as page creator). I think that sites such as Vice, Gizmodo, HuffPost, and IGN (which are all cited in the article) provide enough coverage for the subject to pass WP:GNG. Di (they-them) (talk) 20:09, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch on those. Being entirely honest, I missed them when I was going through the article, so I'm really sorry about missing those. Still, IGN doesn't seem to contribute to notability per being routine coverage of an ongoing television series, with Snowflame only mentioned as appearing in the series, and the Comicbook sources are primarily plot summary. The VICE, Gizmodo, and HuffPost pieces are all decent enough, but my problem is that there really isn't anything here worth splitting. All of them say the same thing: Snowflame was mildly offensive, and later got a webcomic series. Given the character's incredibly small amount of appearances, Snowflame can quite easily exist in the character list without even threatening undue weight, with only a sentence or two really needed to describe why the character was notable. The issue here isn't really notability, but moreso the fact that Snowflame doesn't really have enough content to really warrant a split off the wider character list. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 21:12, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The VALNET articles are the first several references; the non-VALNET ones are like the entire right-handed column, so if you just looked at the first few, VALNET is what you would see. I get what you're saying about this not being a big deal to merge to a character list, and I agree: it would be a fine article to editorially merge. This, however, is a process that would compel such a merge, and in my mind the standard of non-notability is not met such that the article should be force-merged. Propose it on the talk page and I wouldn't have noticed or cared. Jclemens (talk) 03:36, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep VALNET sources aren't needed to demonstratae notability. HuffPo, Gizmodo, and IGN are just fine per RSP, so the VALNET sources aren't necessary to meet GNG. Comicbook.com is also not VALNET, doesn't have an RSP entry, and seems to have been used for similar articles without issue. While the nod to BEFORE is appreciated, reviewing the sources already referenced at time of nomination is important, too. Jclemens (talk) 20:34, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Sources like Vice, Gizmodo, HuffPost, and IGN covered Snowflame, which shows the character meets WP:GNG. I agree that the character is obscure. Yet, there is enough content to warrant a standalone article, even if it remains short.--AstridMitch (talk) 23:20, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Plaza de California (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article appears to be original research in violation of WP:NOR and advocacy in violation of WP:NOT to the extent that it asserts that the unnamed fountain plaza at the end of Capitol Mall in Sacramento, California between the Jesse M. Unruh Building and the Stanley Mosk Building bears the name "Plaza de California". No reliable sources have been provided to that effect which actually describe the plaza as such in body text. The only two citations to books in the article which use the term Plaza de California are to a 2023 horror novel published by OtherLove Publishing, a small indie publisher whose address is a P.O. Box in Organ, New Mexico, population 323, and a 2024 nonfiction book about a "wedding march" in opposition to Governor Gavin Newsom's COVID-19 restrictions published by Histria Books, a small indie publisher whose address is a mail drop in a strip mall in North Las Vegas. Those are not exactly reliable sources in the sense of books about the history of Sacramento or the Capitol Mall.
The term is used in some articles cited in the article which appear to meet WP:RS, but again, never in the body text. Rather, the term was used exclusively in captions of photographs taken at Governor Gavin Newsom's second inauguration in January 2023. The reasonable inference is that someone at the inauguration (probably a PR flack trying to articulate ground rules for the news media) incorrectly referred to the plaza on Capitol Mall as such, and then the photographers blindly adopted that term when they submitted photo captions to their news services or newswires.
The article also cites a SDSU Web page about a Sacramento postcard, but the Web page dates from 2024 and the term is used only in the SDSU metadata for the postcard as expressly displayed on the web page. It is clearly possible that the archivist could have picked it up from the 2023 news coverage of Newsom's second inauguration. The postcard itself does not use the term.
None of the sources cited in the article in which the actual subject is the Capitol Mall or the plaza itself actually use the term Plaza de California to refer to the plaza.
A search on Google Books revealed that sources about the history of Sacramento usually refer to the "plaza" or "fountain plaza" on Capitol Mall, such as this 1987 book. They do not refer to the Plaza de California. The only context in which that phrase comes up in historical sources is with reference to the Panama–California Exposition, which did have a Plaza de California. This is consistent with my recollection as a lifelong California resident; I have read the Mercury News regularly for over thirty years and all major California newspapers for over twenty years. None of them have ever described the plaza in Sacramento at the end of Capitol Mall as the Plaza de California.
This appears to be a situation in which erroneous photo captions applied a nonexistent name to a plaza which traditionally had none, and then it spread from there. Wikipedia should not be amplifying such mistakes.
I raised this issue on the talk page six weeks ago but the user who created this article has failed to add reliable sources as requested.
It's time to delete this article, without prejudice to the right of anyone to re-create this article later if they can find reliable sources which show that the plaza has been historically and consistently referred to as the Plaza de California. Coolcaesar (talk) 19:23, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, A clear case of POV and original research article. It is about the "war crimes of Greece" and half of it narrates events that occured before Greece as a country even existed. It arbitrarily lists some events as massacres of Greece against Turkey, despite not being known as such in historiography, as victims come from both sides. At parts it relies on sources that are either too old, primary, or unreliable nationalist Turkish sites. As the nom said, every notable event that is included in this article already has its own, well written/sourced article. Plus, there is already a list of massacres during the Greco-Turkish war, and also the article of Persecution of Muslims during the Ottoman contraction which already covers the same topics, but is more general. I don't think that to single one country out of all that can be warranted. This article seems to follow the example of German war crimes, Turkish war crimes, British war crimes, etc. however the creator forgot that these states have been major world empires that committed recognized genocides with deaths reaching up to millions; None of the events in which Greece participated was even close to having a similar impact, so as to warrant a separate, stand-alone article. Every country on earth has engaged in wars which had victims; if the threshold for creating such article was that low, then every country on earth would have a similar article.

ApLundell (talk) 05:57, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the spirit of WP:GD I'm going to suggest that we pursue a constructive alternative such as improving or cleaning up the article. Two main reasons (1) Being one of the Samuel Adams founders both within the beverage field and just generally is definitely a major contribution. It looks he was not the frontman, but, indeed, he's been recognized by multiple secondary sources as being a founder and his involvement in various beverage investments is notable enough to be topic of headlines. As you probably know, media outlets have full control over headlines, which means that these media outlets viewed his involvement as "the story". On a more basic level, Samuel Adams is also billion dollar major conglomerate, it's widely recognized, and is part of the American social milieu (2) I digged into other secondary sources and there's quite a few other significant achievements such as being one of the people who started GT Interactive, which launched DOOM (a major video game) (3) This nomination was a careless mistake on my part so it's kind of a fluke nomination. My apologies again to all for that bonehead error and for wasting folks time reviewing this!
re: Harry Rubin (virologist) Even though I intended to nominate it, I also now lean towards keeping it. Mostly because his achievements within his specific domain are quite significant.

  • This is one example a mission school set up by missionaries in the early days in pre-Malaysia days, not that 'rare' yes, but they are getting there. In the current and foreseeable future of political climate and increasing Islamisation of Malaysia the number of these type of schools are on the decline (462 nationwide, 227 in peninsular Malaysia in 2011 [1] down to 420 nationwide, 191 in peninsular Malaysia in 2024 [2].

The facts of significance you provided deserve a place at article such as Education in Malaysia instead of this school. The school is not inherent of notability because it has early contribution to humanities as a missionary establishment per WP:ORGSIG. The school is not inheritable of notability because it has notable alumni per WP:INHERITORG.
Issue with this article is the history and other notable events sections fails to WP:PROVEIT with reliable sources. Other part could be just WP:MILL content. Ong Kai Jin (talk) 07:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sections that doesn't have verifiable/sources should be removed those cases, not an outright entire page removal. It doesn't help the case that the name "Bukit Bintang" is extremely SEO unfriendly as a casual web search with those terms will refer to "Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur" the tourist spot, instead of the school. There are sources out there but they aren't electronic accessible/one dead trees for the most part/or buried in older web archives.C.M. Au Yong (talk) 15:07, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is just barely some digital traces that remain to this day, eg. mentioned in passing: BBBS & BBGS as major mission schools in the country in its day[3]. C.M. Au Yong (talk) 16:16, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I assume removing them would leave nothing much left. A search at https://search.nlb.gov.sg/onesearch/Search?query=%22bukit+bintang+boys%22&cont=newspaper showing newspapers but irrelevant to article. Ong Kai Jin (talk) 04:26, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Being a mission school does not address the issue whatsoever, 420 or 191 is a big number to start with. Some of the sources cited in the article are also press releases and/or paid materials. And for your information, the enwiki is not for personal blogging and since it is the most spoken language it should be more stricter than mswiki. N niyaz (talk) 14:51, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The term is indeed used in India. However, I don't think it has scope beyond a definition. It can be easily integrated in Fake news in India#Modes of distribution (WP:CFORK). Although start-class, it pretty much looks like a future repository for dumping all fake news spread on WhatsApp. For serious cases, there is already Indian WhatsApp lynchings.

  • Here's a stab at a source table. The strongest candidates appear to be a short article in the Navbharat Times, an opinion piece in The Hindu, and an in-depth blog post of questionable reliability. That last one is really a stretch, and I think we'd be hard-pressed to hit WP:3REFS. Even more so to get something large enough that it'd merit being split off from Fake news in India. hinnk (talk) 02:24, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are several sibling lists for other decades, so the concept was clearly "split long list up into multiple sublists for convenience". If The Robe was from an earlier decade, thus, then it would simply belong in another decade's list. Bearcat (talk) 15:25, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Refer to Category:Lists of films by studio. Please note the navbox 20th Century Studios Films at the bottom of the page. This is part of larger lists. Since major (or even minor) film studios have such an enormous output of films over the years or decades, this is an acceptable method of listing films by studio. — Maile (talk) 12:49, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again, this article is deceptively written, creating an initial impression that it meets the criteria of WP:NCORP unless scrutinized closely. Critically fails WP:ORGCRIT, There is not even a single source from the article or WP:BEFORE to establish any context of notability. Being a nominee of The Beatz Awards is not significant enough to make it presumptively notable. Over all, fails WP:GNG. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 22:14, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure this person passes WP:NACTOR, mostly minor roles. Can't find any reliable sources discussing them apart from the cited nytimes source which isn't specifically about Intiraymi, but mentions him in passing in 3 paragraphs of a rather long piece about the state of the entertainment industry in LA in the late 1990s. Other sources I have been able to find are Star Trek fansites, which I wouldn't consider significant coverage. Hemiauchenia (talk) 00:08, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
