Canadian Country Music group. Charted, but sourcing is thin. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 09:50, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

I expanded the article and the sources. WP:GNG WP:Artist and WP:NMUSIC. But trying to find more sources is elusive. Redirect seems probable, but WP:Hey is an argument. I don't have access to Canadian country music sources that are not on line. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:30, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Important author, Katherine Mansfield, particularly of short stories. Lots of sources at Google books. Referencing needs improvement. Only pretended compliance with WP:Before. Nominator says this is "a test case." 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:06, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Fortunately, lots of editors thought this short story and author were important and should be kept. Putting light on the proposed AFD caught their attention.
The AFD discussion includes a list of many potential sources. Unfortunately, they have not actually been added to the article. The article still needs to be updated. Notwithstanding, WP:Before was controlling. and

Canadian Business College

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
The result was delete. Most of the keep arguments are procedural ones - consensus can change and while being spammy often isn't a deletion reason, lack of notability certainly is - and there is no notability guideline that states that degree-awarding institutions are notable solely because of this. And WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is not a notability guideline. Jo-Jo Eumerus

  • No consensus at deletion review or AfD usually results is keep or reaffirms the original decision, but not in this case. Sandstein relisted the article.

Need reliable sourcing (prefer contemporary to her era and pre-Internet newspapers) to prove the fact that her "Register of State Lands" title was an elected office at the time.

Surely someone has written something about this aspect of the film industry. Can anyone think of how to search for references?

Lists of Muslim scientists and scholars

NO CONSENSUS
The result was No consensus (procedural close). There are a considerable number of editors opining that a single outcome for all of these lists is impossible, and even among those that do not, this discussion has become too fragmented. There are also concerns that the creators have not been notified, although I have not investigated each of those. So I'm closing this as no consensus, with the expectation that the lists will be nominated at AfD individually. Feel free to link from one discussion to another, so that participants who have done due diligence may express useful opinions at each of the discussions.

The nom was for WP:INDISCRIMINATE, To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. So it is not just finding game RS, but why it should be included. The article needs to be improved to show that. Also some argue that as a list, it would grow too large.

StrongSide (video game player)

DELETE
The result was delete. This article is sitting in a little bit of a grey area with respect to notability. The argument to keep rests on the subject meeting the guideline at Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Sports_personalities. However, that section is essentially a summary of WP:NSPORTS, not an independent guideline; so I'm going to defer to what NSPORTS has to say, which is: "subjects of standalone articles should meet the General Notability Guideline. The guideline on this page provides bright-line guidance to enable editors to determine quickly if a subject is likely to meet the General Notability Guideline". If that's what we apply here, notability clearly is not demonstrated, and so I am closing this as "delete". If people want to haggle over the potentially ambiguous differences in those pages, this isn't the place.

The Kids' Cookery School

MERGED AFTER DISCUSSION
No consensus Per the closer:"The result was no consensus. I see there are two distinct AfDs for this page and Fiona Hamilton-Fairley, the CEO of this institution (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fiona Hamilton-Fairley). However, the coverage is clearly overlapping, and arguments for standalone notability become weaker when there is a closely related subject with overlapping coverage. Arguments are being made at both discussions to redirect or merge, but these depend on the fate of the other page. So, I recommend both these articles be considered together, so that the totality of the coverage may be considered in a single context, and all the possible outcomes (from zero pages to two) may be examined. Therefore, this is a no consensus with no prejudice against immediate renomination."

Gell-Mann amnesia effect

MERGE
The result was merge to Michael Crichton#Other speeches. There is a clear consensus against keeping this page. Beyond that it gets a bit murkier. My general rule of thumb in the absence of clear direction is to go with the least drastic course of action that received a reasonable level of support.

I've been coming across references to this and had supposed that Murray Gell-Mann was the source but it turns out that it was actually Michael Crichton.

Are there better sources, particularly in other languages? Interesting problem about an alleged Christian fundamentalist terrorist in Israel, who was indicted but not finally prosecuted. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 22:27, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

  • Particularly since the subject was released for "health reasons". Sourcing out there is from pretty wild claims that got him arrested at the end of 2014. He was eventually released without charge (scant coverage of the release). Coverage in other languages (and I checked the relevant non-English languages) is not any better.
