Failure of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Only played 706 minutes in Peru as well as the Chilean second division. Kept before due to a guideline that no longer exists. A WP:BEFORE only yielded this piece from before he went to Peru, and this quote-heavy piece – in addition to databases and passing mentions. Creator is blocked indefinitely.

M Aminul Islam

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

The subject does not have multiple SIGCOV coverages from reliable secondary sources, hence failing to meet WP:GNG. Additionally, the subject is not an elected member, thus failing to meet WP:NPOL. According to sources, he is a “Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser” who will handle the “Education Ministry” until the Bangladeshi interim government ends. Technically, they have the powers of State Ministers, as source also confirm that they will receive the salary, allowances, and benefits of a State Minister.

Keep She was the first famous belly dancer. There are plenty of information about her. I do not understand why she should not be notable. Of course, most information would be in her native language.

Being the "first famous [blank]" does not inherently equate to WP:NOTE and a stand-alone article. Per the latter, the individual must be significantly documented in reputable, secondary sources that provide more than just biographical data; incidental mentions or superficial coverage, even if in multiple sources, do not meet the threshold for notability, see WP:NBIO.

Comment - if you want the article cleaned up or looked at, then sending it to AfD is not the right way to go about it. Doubtless, nineteen years on people will be able to find better sources than me. I remember translating several footballers' articles from foreign-language Wikipedias back in the day and if it seems so long since I worked on Polish footballers.

List of USAF Fighter Wings assigned to Strategic Air Command

AfDs for this article:

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

I really struggled to find decent reliable sources for this list as a whole during my WP:BEFORE searches. http://www.strategic-air-command.com/wings/fighter_wings.htm is unfortunately blank, and I think the site is community-generated anyway. That said, it is likely that only offline sources exist. There are two mentioned in the parent page Strategic Air Command wings, neither of which I have access to, and I am slightly dubious of their quality, just going on the information that's there - no ISBN for either (I did check on Google Books), and the Battermix Publishing Company of America is not known to me as a publisher. So I didn't feel that I could just copy them across. As an alternative to deletion, I suggest that the article be draftified so that WP:MILHIST can work on it in slower time. I note that it has been bereft of sources for some 15 years, and that the previous AfD did not seem to lead to significant improvement in sourcing.

The Editors (novel)

AfDs for this article:

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

A non notable new novel that happens to be transparently about Wikipedia editors. Deleted in October following a deletion discussion [5]. Restored to draft in good faith by someone who thought it might become notable. The draft was moved to mainspace by a different editor, unaware of the previous deletion, but who, in page talk, believes it is notable, having added some sources. I disagree. Source analysis below. I also note that we have a curious case of conflict of interest here. This article is about a book about us the editors of Wikipedia. That cannot be helped, but if we do not uphold our standards of notability for a book like this, then that COI will be plain for all to see. If we essentially advertise a new non notable book about Wikipedia editors, then we say advertising such material is okay - as long as it is material about us! So I believe a firm line should be taken on notability standards. As and when it clearly meets WP:NBOOK, it may be included, but it should not be included until that happens.

Source Analysis:

The following are all the sources on the page. They primarily fail for not being independent. I cannot see that any count towards notability. I have collapsed the list for readability.

Source Analysis

Numlock News [6]: Previously considered at old AfD. Self published by Walt Hickey. WP:SPS N
Studlife (2 of) [7], [8] By Avi Holzman: Washington State University student newspaper. The July article is a Q&A with the author. Clearly not independent. A month later the interviewer wrote a summary of the forthcoming book, and thus this is clearly also not independent. N
Inkshares (2 of) [9] [10]: Self publishing platform. WP:SPS. N
New America [11]: Publicity blurb from an event announcement. Not independent. N
Katy Trail Weekly [12]: This newspaper describes itself as "A community news and lifestyle pieces for the neighborhoods around the Katy Trail in Dallas, Texas" and says "A Turtle Creek resident, Harrison has just released The Editors..." So it is a local news piece about a local author who just published a book. That is WP:MILL. It is specifically excluded by the last sentence of WP:BOOKCRIT criterion 1. N
GeekDad [13] Publicity blurb from product/event announcement. Thus not an independent review. N
Fantastic Fiction [14]: Book seller's blurb. Not independent. N
MyHighPlains [15]: Previously considered at old AfD. A local news station. As for Katy Trail Weekly, this is excluded by WP:BOOKCRIT C1. N
The Guardian [16]: This is a piece by Stephen Harrison (the author), about Wikipedia. Clearly not independent. N
Yahoo Life [17]: Previously considered at old AfD. Part of the Yahoo for creators programme. WP:FORBESCON was discussed regarding reliability but in any case, based on an interview and thus not independent. N
Slate [18]: Lists articles written by the author. Clearly not independent. N
Wikpedia20 - MIT Press [19]: by Omer Benjakob and Stephen Harrison, so clearly not independent. N

Delete There is still not a single reliable, non self published book review. A basic requirement for any book to warrant a Wikipedia article. Copying my comment from the last AfD: "Did a WP:BEFORE but I couldn't find enough to unambiguously pass WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG. The first source is an interview, which seems questionable as a source of notability for a book. The piece is part of the Yahoo for Creators program, which has an unclear level of editorial control from Yahoo itself, and may be published with little editorial oversight like WP:FORBESCON, but I'm not sure. The second source is a local news station, which I think is of questionable notability. The third source "Numlock News" is a self-published substack blog which as far as I am aware does not count towards notability". Hemiauchenia (talk) 14:08, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, or Library Journal, which many have argued "review everything". I found one review from Novels Alive, though I've never heard of the site.

Delete: The only mentions from sources that are otherwise reliable are unacceptable because they are not independent of the subject. A further search for both author and book still turn up nothing that establishes notability. If the outcome here is again to delete, WP:SALT may be worth considering this time. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:29, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1976 Aeroflot Yakovlev Yak-40 crash

Per WP:GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT: Other than databases, there exists no reliable secondary sources that provide (significant) coverage of the event, no in-depth coverage, no (sustained) continued coverage, no demonstrated lasting effects nor long-term impacts on a significant region of the world that would make this event notable enough for a stand-alone article.

WP:COI I have a soft-spot for the Yak-40; it's a pretty little thing that deserved greater success in the wider world.

Anyways - although not especially notable in itself, is this event just one of hundreds of similar articles, and will they go through the same Afd process? Yes, I know, there is a WP: for what I have just done, but see my next point before shooting me down.

One of the reasons for lack of (significant) coverage is surely due to historical censorship in the Soviet Union; in this case their reluctance to acknowledge such aviation ~~crashes~~ accidents? Had this event occurred in the USA, with seven fatalities I am sure it would have been front-page news, and years later spawned an episode of Mayday (Canadian TV series). Was this article always doomed to fail simply because it happened not just in Russia, but in a remote backwater of such a vast country. Where is Ust-kut airport anyway, and does anybody care? But whilst you are there, look at this beauty, steaming out at low-level.

Back on track; there was one part of this accident article that I found most interesting; the aircraft was being used as a freight carrier, not at the end of its career, but in its heyday. It is not what you first think of when you look at the lede image and see those rear-airstairs deployed. The List of accidents and incidents involving the Yakovlev Yak-40 doesn't mention that it was a predominantly cargo flight, and deleting this article would deprive us of that detail. Ok, so I'm clutching at straws now, but there is a real point hidden in that comment.

So, it's a KEEP, pending a response from you (or others) that persuades me to change my mind, which I assure you is a real possibility.

(*) On a separate issue; back in the USSR (!), even though I like to ride my bicycle (I like to ride my bike), I'm fairly sure that I wouldn't be allowed to pedal my agenda incessantly. <coughs>. Ok, that's my way of apologising for interjecting into a conversation between you and third-parties; I am not sure what the correct form is in these cases, although I am rapidly reaching the stage of applying 'do not feed the troll', which seems to be one of the aims of the "project". Maybe I'm Losing My Religion, or maybe I've said too much.

Offensive in Podrinje (1993)

After removing unreliable local news portals etc, we are left with citations to two pages of the CIA history. I checked them, and all three of the citations failed verification, the only apparent reference to this fighting being a paragraph fragment as follows: "The VRS Drina Corps attacked again late in May and crushed Muslim forces in the salient , driving them back some 15 kilometers to the Praca River and eliminating the threat to Visegrad . Follow - on attacks from Cajnice in the southeast toward Gorazde itself , however , gained little ground . " on page 185. This isn't significant coverage, and therefore doesn't meet WP:N.

Looks like someone didn't go to geography classes. Podrinje means "on the river Drina" or "next to the Drina" and thus includes the entire region. at the same time, I checked your claims and of course they are fake, if you had entered and edited the pages without bad intentions, you would have seen that on page 186 it is written "The Bosnian Serbs had nevertheless achieved most of their 1993 objectives in the Drina valley and This time Muslim bravery alone was not enough to prevail against the stronger, better organized and better led Serb troops.

Comment I have tagged the bolded Operation "Prača '93" in the lead as dubious, as the sources listed do not use this name. I have also tagged the goals of the operation given in the lead as failed verification, as the goal of the overall offensive (of which this was a part) was to clear the ARBiH from the Drina valley, but the goals listed in the lead are not given in the sources. As it stands now, the "Operation" section has all the material in Balkan Battlegrounds. It consists of a direct copy and paste of a paragraph on page 390 (this is ok as there is no copyright on US government material such as this). The rest of the article is background and aftermath, which really should not be considered when deciding if this subject is notable. There is probably scope for an article covering all VRS offensive operations around Gorazde and Visegrad between January and June 1993 (which takes up about 2/3rds of a page in BB, but this article is a non-notable subset of those operations in my view, and like many of these newly created articles, appears to be focussed only on the point of view of VRS success instead of a neutral point of view.

Have a Nice Decade: The 70s Pop Culture Box

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

I am nominating the article for this box set and its two follow-ups for deletion due to lack of any substantial coverage. The article for the 70s box was restored the other day by an IP editor with the reasoning that because the other two have articles, this should also have one. However, the only source present on the first two articles is an AllMusic review, and the only source on the 90s box set is a mention in a Pitchfork article (which is not primarily about the box set in question). All fail WP:NALBUMS as far as I can tell. The parent article that the 70s box set redirected to prior to today, Have a Nice Day (album series), was redirected to Rhino Entertainment, but that article has no mention of the Have a Nice Day or Decade box sets anymore (and inserting a mention/a focus on this series there would stick out like a sore thumb), so that's why I'm seeking deletion not a redirect. The two additional articles:

Neutral from the article’s creator.

Were I still in my 40s rather than my 60s, I would object to this article’s deletion, given that I created and worked on it nearly two decades ago, when I went by fantailfan. However, I am no longer an active editor on Wikipedia, and have not been one for well over a decade.

Since the title was reissued at least once despite its unwieldy packaging, I consider it to be eligible for notability. Not least for the historical audio clips interspersed throughout, however annoying they are on repeated listenings. Its follow-ups are less notable: Rhino’s thinking seems to have been that if one clunky multiple disc decade-spanning non-big name popular music survey sells, the only thing to do is to create more clunky multiple disc decade-spanning non-big name popular music surveys.

All the above constitute no argument for keeping the article as it is, but only for its notability. Given a thorough editorial overhaul, I think the article could meet the standards required to keep it available. In late 2024, it is a curio, but still notable.

However again, I am not the one to do it. My music tastes have changed, to classical. I currently contribute my uncompensated list-making energies to Discogs, mainly to transcribe the contents of large classical music box sets. I no longer have the time or inclination to edit this article into shape.

Most other sources the article cites are not independent, unless the government [31] counts as independent. A Vox article [32] I found may have significant enough coverage, or it may not.

He is a well-known figure in Nigeria and in the Nigerian energy industry at large.

While an editor claims that the Centre for Energy Investment and Innovation (an organization the subject leads) lacks notability, this does/should not diminish the subject's recognition/notability.

Weak Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV (barely). There definitely needs to be some serious pruning of bad promotional sources and writing, reformatting of the article, editing for encyclopedic tone, etc. However, there are four articles among the references which are independent significant coverage about Davide Lombardi; three of which are in the LightSoundJournal, which is a professional publication for light and audio engineers, and one of which is from an Italian media source. He works as a sound engineer for notable artists, so I am leaning on the keep side.4meter4 (talk) 03:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@4meter4 That's a valid point; however, a reminder to anyone else reading this that Lombardi doesn't inherit notability from the people he works with. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 04:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
His notability comes through his work within his business. From the references you can see he is one of the most successful people in his own business, hence the amount of interviews and big Artists names that employ him for major projects, similar to most articles with notable knowledge, but yet not in the mainstream of press like TV stars. if that makes sense? Fabrizio Di Ninni 1982 (talk) 09:50, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Fabrizio Di Ninni 1982 Getting interviewed and working with big stars don't mean you qualify for a Wikipedia article (or, to speak Wikipedian, whether or not you're "notable). Of course, whether or not you qualify is separate from whether or not you're doing important work. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 19:04, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is the point. The idea is to make notable to the mainstream, who is already notable, but doing a different job from music/movie stars or similars. I agree working with big Artists doesn't mean to qualify for a Wikipedia article, but simply proves his knowledge and notable position within business. There are many articles that are in similar position (studio/live sound engineers, producers, musicians). As example, looking at Antony King sound engineer Wikipedia article, who has similar (and probably less) references from the same independent coverage. This is good to expand knowledge of live sound engineering, as people like me that loves concerts and understands basics about audio, appreciates and follows what some of these people are capable to create amazing live events for us all. thank you for the discussion. Fabrizio Di Ninni 1982 (talk) 22:54, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Fabrizio Di Ninni 1982 I've gone ahead and nominated the Antony King article for deletion as well; as I said in the nomination, at the very least, the article may need to be shortened significantly, and at most, deleted.

This is why people are advised to not point out that other articles exist; the "other articles" they end up pointing out usually aren't that great, either. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 23:39, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gina F. Acosta

Fails WP:NPOL. A staff member at the Office of the Vice President of the Philippines does not count toward WP:NPOL Ibjaja055 (talk) 05:14, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Multiple secondary sources such as The Philippine Star, Daily Tribune and GMA News Online have covered this government official from the Office of the Vice President (OVP). The OVP's questionable use of confidential funds under VP Sara Duterte has been among the top issues discussed in Philippine politics this year, if not the topmost (alongside tensions in the South China Sea and the POGO menace), and much of the Philippine media has been extensively covering the hearings conducted on this matter by the House Committee on Good Government in the past few months ([47][48][49][50][51]).

On November 5, Acosta was among the seven OVP officials who issued a position letter asking that the house congressional inquiry into their budget use be terminated ([52]), and by November 11 was among the four OVP officials ordered arrested based on a contempt citation issued by the committee for their non-attendance at the hearings ([53]). During the November 20 hearing, OVP chief of staff Zuleika T. Lopez and a branch manager of Land Bank of the Philippines gave testimonies that pinpointed Acosta as the OVP official who directly handled the confidential funds of the vice president ([54][55]). The varied independent coverage cited in this paragraph alone, in my view, merits notability for the article; further coverage in the media is also anticipated in the aftermath of the testimonies given in the Nov. 20 hearing. LionFosset (talk) 06:09, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This person has not ran for public office i.e. not a politician, so I don't know how WP:NPOL applies. She appears to be more of a career civil servant or a bureaucrat. This person is notable for one event which is on Sara Duterte's alleged corruption, so the best solution is to merge and redirect this with the article that discusses that, or if that doesn't exist, transform this BLP article to such an article. Howard the Duck (talk) 12:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Howard the Duck That's an insightful suggestion. Ibjaja055 (talk) 16:10, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Howard the Duck You took the words right out of my mouth: Acosta is not a politican. Though I concede to the fact that the person is largely notable for one event so far (i.e. Onel de Guzman, a private citizen who created the ILOVEYOU virus), numerous secondary sources have covered the person not just as a probable participant in Duterte's unusual confidential fund use from 2022 to 2023, but as a government official ordered to be arrested after she was cited in contempt for her continuous absence from house committee hearings in spite of two subpoenas ([56][57][58][59]). LionFosset (talk) 17:46, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@LionFosset All the sources you provided do not count toward WP:GNG because they lack the WP:SIGCOV of the subject. Ibjaja055 (talk) 20:48, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Will continue to give arguments on this matter soon, but I am posting here for reference (and maybe posterity) some stunning developments that just occurred within the past 24 hours in Philippine politics (1. VP Duterte refuses to leave the House of Rep. detention center holding her chief of staff Zuleika Lopez; 2. VP Duterte goes on a tirade against the House committee hearings and curses at President Marcos, his wife and House Speaker Romualdez, claiming to have already spoken with a contract killer to target them in the event she herself is assassinated; 3. VP Chief of Staff Zuleika Lopez faints from an anxiety attack at 3 a.m. and is brought from the detention center to a hospital; 4. Executive Sec. Lucas Bersamin deems VP Duterte's statements an "active threat" against the administration). LionFosset (talk) 06:28, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All the more reason to merge and redirect as per my argument above. What's notable is what's happening, not her. Howard the Duck (talk) 00:43, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am considering moving the current article or redirecting this BLP to a new article entitled 2024 Philippine congressional hearings on Sara Duterte, or to Mary Grace Piattos scandal. This is similar with what the proponents in Talk:Alice Guo#Requested move 24 May 2024 on moving that article to "2023–2024 Bamban raids", only that it was overtaken by the fact that Guo had surely attained notability and deserves a biographical article, unlike this person, or the pawns of Sara Duterte, the Marcoses, Romualdezes and everyone else. Howard the Duck (talk) 01:27, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Howard the Duck: I would be amenable to this, actually. However, use the former title (with some tweaking), not the latter. "Mary Grace Piattos" is just one of the many details questioned in the confidential fund use by the OVP. LionFosset (talk) 03:57, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Acosta falls ill during the Nov. 25 budget hearing (and brought out of the premises to VMMC with VP Duterte in tow) after admitting that she disbursed the confidential funds to the VP Security Chief in 2022-2023 on Duterte's orders. She is the second VP aide to faint and be brought to VMMC after Lopez. Humorous note: The Akbayan Partylist memefied the Duterte-Acosta photo. LionFosset (talk) 18:54, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm leaning towards a merge and redirect. She only got significant coverage because of the current issue with Sara Duterte. But on her own, there might not be much justification to have a separate article about her. ---Tito Pao (talk) 02:44, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yoshimitsu

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

The reception section is a mess of listicles and "anything not nailed down" types of articles. While there can be some degree of commentary gleamed for Yoshimitsu, it's brief and often repetitive. Even checking sources I've used in the past for Soulcalibur characters doesn't offer much at all. There's just no meat on this bone that I can find.

Comment: Honestly, I'm leaning forward to being neutral in this situation. I feel like there's a chance the character might be notable since they have been involved in two fighting game franchises and have almost appeared in every main game of each franchise and gone through multiple distinct designs. Otherwise, the best source I could find about Yoshimitsu is [60]. These sources might also help [61], [62], [63], [64], and [65]. Aside from that, this character has three incarnations throughout the Tekken and Soulcalibur franchises, so if the character information is going to be merged, then the Tekken version of Yoshimitsu should be merged in Characters of the Tekken series, and the Soulcalibur version of Yoshimitsu should be merged in Characters of the Soulcalibur series. Kazama16 (talk) 07:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Den of Geek one is the strongest source coupled with Jasper's commentary on the Tekken character ranking list. The main problem though is that the Game Rant and CGMag refs are echoes of some of the commentary from that one on the designs and could be summed up as "his appearance changes frequently", PushSquare is basically death battle commentary in this case, and The Gamer and 3DPrint refs are both about fan works (I checked to see if the designer on the latter had some notability that could help but no dice). I feel there may not be enough actually said for SIGCOV when the sources are lined up is my concern.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 08:14, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Just not notable. The WP:GNG is clearly failed here. If this page is redirected, it should be moved and the DAB made primary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:30, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per others. Very little SIGCOV and a very clear-cut case of not much notability existing for him. I'd redirect Yoshimitsu (Soulcalibur) and Yoshimitsu (Tekken) to their respective character lists, since he's a character of two different franchises, and redirect Yoshimitsu (No distinction) to the DAB page to be the primary topic, per Zx. Both lists just redirect to his article, so content will need to be merged to them for the information to be retained. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 04:48, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Per Kazama16's sources. Den of Geek (both of them) and CGmagonline are the strongest sources. Those two, plus GamesRadar and Bloody Disgusting and Game Rant, which all discuss his design and unorthodox fighting style, compared to other fighting game characters, may also be of some help. The more trivial sources can definitely be trimmed down, but overall, I feel this isn't redirect-worthy. I can see this being a Voldo type of situation, where most of the notability comes from his "freakish" design and unorthodox fighting style. MoonJet (talk) 22:32, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Isolated, the Bloody Disgusting source would be good...but it's just saying the same thing as the CMag and previous Game Rant sources. Much like there's only so many times you can say "this character is sexy" in an article, "this character is freaky" starts to get repetitive fast.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 22:45, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify per WP:POTENTIAL. The article already has at least one reliable source, and a Google search brings up several industry specific sources.--DesiMoore (talk) 16:04, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Illinois Farm Bureau

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

WP:BEFORE reveals no ostensible notability. Article is almost exclusively unsourced and written by the organization themselves (user 'Ilfb1916' clearly violates WP:ISU and implies this is the subject itself), being functionally a billboard instead of a resource with any encyclopedic merit. IP editor who removed PROD did so under the justification of "Useful links and relevance due to member and partner organizations", but this is complete nonsense as it pertains to notability.

Well, this is an interesting kettle of fish. On the one hand, we would presumably have a clear example of what WP:BRANCH was intended for; failing to find sources outside of the branch unit's area of operation, we would redirect to the parent organization. On the other hand, on this very day the American Farm Bureau Federation kicked the Illinois Farm Bureau out of the federation over a membership/business dispute, and as of December the state bureau will not have a parent organization, litigation and backroom dealing pending. I don't see any WP:SIGCOV of the organization in non-WP:TRADES publications separate from this dispute, and that coverage is all in agricultural trade publications and local news outlets in small Illinois markets. In the absence of an WP:NORG pass and without an appropriate WP:BRANCH redirect target, I'd have to !vote delete. Open to an WP:IAR redirect to American Farm Bureau Federation too.

Comment – Uh... Wow. I was not expecting this to take that direction. The WP:BEFORE I'd done for this organization was two days ago, so this wasn't even on my radar when I nominated it. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 02:53, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. According to the NPR story given already above the IFB is the largest insurer of farms in the state of Illinois. It's a significant company with a lengthy history. There is significant coverage in the following including a book about the company:

Nancy K. Berlage. "Organizing the Farm Bureau: Family, Community, and Professionals, 1914-1928" Agricultural History, Vol. 75, No. 4 (Autumn, 2001), pp. 406-437 (32 pages) https://www.jstor.org/stable/3745183
Farmers Helping Farmers: The Rise of the Farm and Home Bureaus, 1914-1935 (2016, Louisiana State University Press)
Dan Leifel and Norma Haney. The Diamond Harvest: A History of the Illinois Farm Bureau (Bloomington: Illinois Agricultural Association, 1990).
Cynthia Clampitt. Mid- west Maize: How Corn Shaped the U.S. Heartland (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2015).
Additionally JSTOR has 240 hits when searching on the "Illinois Farm Bureau" and there are more than 9,000 hits in PROQUEST with lots of SIGCOV news coverage across many decades. Sourcing and WP:ORGCRIT is not an issue here. Best.4meter4 (talk) 05:50, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some thoughts on these sources:

The first two (the Agricultural History article and the LSU Press book) are both by the same author, Nancy Berlage. Collectively these would count as one source (since they are not intellectually independent of each other).
Dan Leifel and Norma Maney both worked for the Illinois Farm Bureau for decades, Leifel as general counsel and Maney as an executive assistant. Their history of the IFB cannot be considered an independent source.
Can you point to what in the Clampitt book refers to the Illinois Farm Bureau? I can't access the text but the snippets available via Google Books indicate it's only index mentions, not WP:SIGCOV. Would be happy to be proven wrong if you can share how Clampitt discusses the subject. (If it was pulled from this Illinois historiography article, it's clear the author is talking about the Maney and Leifel book, not saying Clampitt covered the IFB in her book: Agriculture remains a critical part of the Illinois economy. A recent centennial history of the Illinois Farm Bureau offers a broad look at state agriculture including the post World War II period. Cynthia Clampitt wrote a history of midwestern corn production that includes work on Illinois.)
The "NPR" story I linked above is actually a local radio story from an NPR affiliate and doesn't pass the WP:AUD test.
I paged through many of the JSTOR listings and didn't find any additional WP:SIGCOV. Apart from the Berlage article above, they all appear to be WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS.

Based on this analysis, I see only one WP:SIRS source to pass WP:NORG. Open to reviewing more if you can supply additional examples. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:18, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep: The history from the ProQuest article is fine, this talks about the Bureau [82] as well. just barely enough for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 16:48, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Domain authority

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

Aazingly outdated article for something that seems at core to be based on one company's ("Moz") proprietary product.

The article ttself makes this clear:

"The software as a service company Moz.org has developed an algorithm and weighted level metric, branded as "Domain Authority", which gives predictions on a website's performance in search engine rankings with a discriminating range from 0 to 100".

Search doesn't work this way any more, and almost all the references cited are incredibly outdated; the thing described doesn't really exist any more, algorithms have moved on. There is probably an article to be written on site reputation, but this isn't it. — The Anome (talk) 00:53, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural close per WP:WRONGFORUM. I don’t think this is something we can handle at AFD because it requires expert opinion and original analysis based on expertise rather than an evaluation of sources based on WP:N or WP:Deletion policy. It is essentially a content decision more akin to a content dispute than to notability issue. I would suggest working with editors on the talk page and discussing how to handle this or contacting a relevant WikiProject to enlist editors on reworking or repurposing the article. A move discussion might be in order at that time to your suggestion of site reputation. I don’t think AFD is the right pathway to address these issues.

Daniel B. Matthews

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

This article has been toned down over the years but still seems decidedly promotional. "Here, Dan attained his M.B.A. in a mere 8 months, specializing in Marketing and Business Management. He managed to do this. while working two jobs at the same time" Everything is sourced to an article from his university's alumni association, and I'm skeptical that this is independent. That article certainly reads like a subject-provided biography.

The claims of notability are that he was a Senior Vice President at Northwest Airlines and won "North American Deal of the Year Award in 2006" and "AirFinance Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003". "North American Deal of the Year Award" gets under 30 total Google results, with conflicting information about who gives it, and none of the sources seem particularly reliable. When I google "AirFinance Lifetime Achievement Award" the only results are this guy's Wikipedia article and college alumni articles, and a random person's Linkedin bio. These do not seem like notable awards. Here2rewrite (talk) 03:38, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Agree this is definitely promotional. Sources 1, 2, and 3 are all the same "Daniel Matthews 76' - Alumni Achievement Award 07" page from his university alumni publication. Almost word-for-word.

Snooze (Agust D song)

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

Do not believe this passes NSONG. Charting is almost certainly too little (Vietnam Hot 100 page doesn't even verify it's charting; this page does, but that the sourced page doesn't even go past the top 25 of the chart suggests non-notability of the peak position), and the rest of the sourcing is album reviews which all barely mention the song specifically and a database page.

Keep - the song has charted on several national charts (Japan Oricon, Billboard Japan, Billboard Vietnam Hot 100, United States Billboard Digital Song Sales) which is a criteria for WP:NSONG. In addition, there is likely enough coverage in existence to expand the article to be more than the stub it is right now. RachelTensions (talk) 02:43, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, well-sourced article, Top 20 in Japan, clearly meets WP:NSONG. 162 etc. (talk) 04:16, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the album per NSONG: "Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability. If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created." The only other sources being unimpressive appearances in chart statistics is a very low bar and should be ignored. Tag the redirect as having possibilities.

The previous discussion was closed for soft deletion, however, the reason it was restored was due to the previous nominator being a sock of a banned user.
