The only reliable source from WP:A/S used here is HotNewHipHop, but an album needs at least 3-4 reliable sources from A/S to pass for notability.

Non-notable individual who fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO for lack of WP:SIGCOV in independent, secondary, reliable sources. A quick source analysis:

The major editor of the page has after the fact disclosed a conflict of interest and it appears that the purpose of the page is to promote a non-notable individual. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:05, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment
As the editor who has contributed to improving this article, I acknowledge a potential conflict of interest and therefore refrain from voting on the outcome. Nevertheless, I would like to provide the following clarifications:
The article has been significantly updated with numerous reliable and independent sources that demonstrate the subject's notability in accordance with Wikipedia's general notability guideline (WP:GNG).
The individual has received multiple international invention awards under the supervision or endorsement of WIPO, including:
• Gold Medal at the Thailand Inventions Expo 2024
• Silver Medal at the Seoul International Invention Fair (SIIF) 2023
• Bronze Medal and Special Prize at the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions 2024
These events are among the most recognized global exhibitions in the field of invention and innovation, and are not affiliated with the subject in any commercial or promotional way.
Furthermore, the article is supported by in-depth, non-trivial coverage from multiple major news agencies, including IRNA, ISNA, Hamshahri, Khabar Online, Verna Magazine, and Iran Front Page. The subject also has a verified Google Knowledge Panel in both English and Persian.
I kindly request that independent editors review the current version based on content, sources, and alignment with Wikipedia’s notability policies before reaching a final conclusion.
Thank you.

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

Article is poorly written and fails GNG. GoldRomean (talk) 17:41, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete per WP:TNT To explain, Ponnar and Shankar are two twin brothers who are the subject of a Tamil epic poem, and this folk story is actually what the article is attempting to refer to. It should be named something like Ponnar Shankar (poem), or perhaps as the Tamil language article calls it, "Annamar Sami Kathai". The poem is the inspiration for the film Ponnar Shankar (film). It actually seems like the poem might be notable as there is a book by Brenda Beck just about the epic. However, the article as it stands literally links exclusively to sources which discuss the film - the few I looked at do not even include a passing mention the poem which inspired it. Very much open to a keep on WP:HEY grounds, I just unfortunately do not have time to salvage the article. FlipandFlopped 00:53, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I originally supported merging to the MLP article, but I changed my mind, since the MLP article only has a very general overview of other media in the "Other Media" section. Weak support for a stand-alone article. ApexParagon (talk) 01:02, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Only one piece of secondary coverage, and it's completely routine. Can be merged to Old Spice#Advertising. Zanahary 18:42, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge I think merging info from this article to The Man Your Man Could Smell Like would be most appropriate. Would need someone to put in the work + probably create a new section about follow on campaigns. In the absence of a merge, I would say weak keep for this article.

Wikipedia is not news. WP:NOTNEWS. Most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion, and also WP:BLP1E, although he just recently died, the guideline is still applicable. There is only coverage in the context of a single event, and subject is more than likely to remain a low-profile individual. Isaidnoway (talk) 20:02, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would disagree with this point. Many of the news outlets also included in-depth coverage of this person's life. They are all reliable secondary sources.
The fact that the person was incredibly notable within the rescue community does not make him any less notable. He was a prominent figure, and his contributions were widely known. It is very unfortunate that he received global attention only after his death. Nonetheless, that does not make him any less notable. He had been one of the most prominent rescuers in the country and in the state of New York for almost 20 years.
As Wikipedia guidelines state, notability is not something Wikipedia can create or confer. He was a notable individual, and his work received recognition. The fact that his work received global media coverage after his death, does not make him less notable .
There are a lot of news, and I agree Wikipedia is not a news site. But many sources cover his life and what he did, and how contributed to the rescue community.
I did not know about him until he died, but after reading all the sources providing detailed descriptions of his 20 years of work, I decided to create this page, to honor his legacy and contributions. It is an unusual case, he was saving animals and not people. Animals do not usually get into the news as much. Moondust342 (talk) 20:35, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: The sanctuary might be notable, most articles are about that rather than the person himself. These are mostly local sources, there isn't much about him outside of the area. The foreign articles used for sourcing are about the shelter/rescue. Oaktree b (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
These 3 sources are about him specifically, him as a rescuer, and history of building a sanctuary. Besides, there are no limitations as to local sources to establish notability on Wikipedia. All these sources are reliable secondary sources covering the subject - the man. If his occupation is rescuing cats and he is notable for that, with wide coverage, there doesn’t need to be ten articles about his childhood or some kind of life outside it—because that’s irrelevant.

You're not going to help your case much with those three. See WP:DAILYMAIL, WP:NYPOST, WP:METRO. But just to be clear, Oaktree b the content doesn't change that much if it's about the person or the sanctuary, since the sanctuary is just this person's house. The either/or becomes a question of whether this should be moved/rescoped, not deleted (not that I'm fully persuaded to keep yet myself). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:31, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am not trying to contradict you. Just adding more information. In addition to the sources you added @Rhododendrites, I also added some to the article. Plus these sources are dated between 2013-2024. It is clear that his work as a rescuer has received coverage over the years, along with recognition for his efforts. I feel uncomfortable to say that the subject is not notable "enough" for a Wikipedia page, while he has been widely discussed by the press prior to this and on international level, especially after his death.
Out of the 20 or so sources listed in the article, I think are at least about 4–5 clearly reliable sources that provide detailed coverage sufficient to establish the notability of Chris Arsenault as a prominent rescuer.
Question is how much more coverage a rescuer saving animals can get for his efforts? If you try to google other cat rescuers, it would be hard to find many people with the same coverage he has. There is ABC, CBS, Animal planet. I'd say, objectively, this is the most coverage a prominent cat rescuer can get. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and his contributions clearly seem to be worth recording. I'm just a random person who was touched by his story.
Many people worldwide are Googling this person now, wanting to read about him. It is harder for people to find older articles because all the recent coverage is about his tragic death. I think this article has merit.
Plus, even the WP:NYPOST articles do not seem to have some kind of promotional language, or paid notes, rather than just sharing a story about a man with 300 cats.

  • Comment: I suppose the points above are valid, I don't really see notability, just a guy that had lots of cats. Oaktree b (talk) 00:42, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I agree with nom on WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E even though the BLP1E is a BLP2E - he rescued cats then he died presumably trying to save the cats. The quality of the sources is a big clue - there are a few reliable news sources (CBS, ABC) with typically brief "this is a 45 second human interest story." TV news rarely provides in depth information. Some of the sources are on the "not reliable" list (WP:DAILYMAIL, WP:NYPOST, WP:METRO). Of the remainder, none are what I would call "stellar" sources and some are just odd, like the Kosovo paper and the Hindustan Times, not to mention "iheartcats" and "lovemeow". These short articles merely reproduce the same story without adding anything new. They also tend to use the same photos which I assume means that their main source of information was his web site (thus not independent). Lamona (talk) 00:14, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I do not agree with your point about the pictures. If someone used photos provided on the website for an article, that does not make the source non-independent. They wrote whatever they wanted for the piece. A journalist doesn’t have to travel to New York to take pictures if they want to do a story on this person. Moondust342 (talk) 02:39, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    No, they don't. But if they provide no information that can't be found on the person's web site then their writing cannot be considered independent. To put it another way, I see no evidence that any research was done, but plenty that there was quite a bit of lazy copying. The pictures are just a hint, but don't change my conclusion. Lamona (talk) 03:20, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Hi @Garsh2 @Wound theology. With all due respect, would I be able to provide you both some context in hopes of getting you both to reconsider your votes? WP:COI isn't the subject of this AfD, and even so, i've already disclosed in the past to MrOllie twice that I don't have a COI, and if I did, I would declare it. An article can be rewritten itself, but notability can't be changed, no matter how good an article is. The nominator (MrOllie) proposed that the article is WP:BLP1E and does not merit its own article about the subject itself, but the subject of the article is high-profile (intentionally seeking coverage about themselves or such through interviews, PR, etc), and their independent, reliable coverage has been sustained and not a quick burst. Given this, I would believe that the article falls into WP:GNG, but this is a debatable point, because the subject is a minor. At the very least, if you still believe that the article does not meet WP:GNG, I believe draftification would be a significantly better better option, given that notability is borderline/debatable here. Liahuu (talk) 10:10, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The subject of this article is not high-profile nor are the sources sustained. The subject is not notable as a coder nor as an author but simply as a 12-year-old who started a nonprofit. Founding a nonprofit is not notable in and of itself; I did it myself my senior year. WP:BLP1E still stands and WP:COI has not been sufficiently addressed. wound theology 13:28, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Hi @MrOllie! Much thanks for your explanation and review on this subject. I just wanted to clarify a few points.
  • First, you mention that I have a conflict of interest with the subject. You've already given me a COI warning on my talk page in the past, and i've appropriately responded to such answering that I am aware of such policy and will be disclosing any conflicts of interests I have with any subject. In this case, my reply explicitly mentioned that I do not have a connection to the subject. I also explicitly mentioned this to you on your talk page, for a different (but relevant) draft.
  • You're also falsely claiming that my account is a "single purpose account" - when, in reality, you're basing this claim off of the action I took to move my draft into the article space. Dodging the AFC queue is not inherently prohibited for autoconfirmed users, and given the long wait time, I explicitly clarified in my edit summary that I would be skipping a AFC review to get a review by a NPP in a faster time frame. You also claim "after getting a decline on their draft" - but if you noticed, that declined draft version was from early March 2025. If I had genuine ill intentions for Wikipedia, I could have easily dodged the AfC process, far earlier, and moved my rejected draft into the mainspace. I made a large amount of edits before resubmitting, and eventually moving my draft into the mainspace.
  • I would also like to mention that your review of my article about this subject is unjust - you proposed the deletion of my article 20 minutes after it was created, which is clearly in violation of WP:NPPHOUR, as the article does not qualify for speedy deletion or PROD.
  • "There is no sustained coverage" - there are plenty of reliable, secondary sources that cover the subject, and over a sustained period of time. As you can see, the first article covering the kid founding the nonprofit was on January 2, 2024, while there are sources as late as June 2024 covering the kid founding the nonprofit. There's also coverage about the kid's nonprofit starting a new program, etc and the kid's coding skills. Compared to a traditional WP:BLP1E, this spike of coverage has been sustained and the kid is still "relevant", which is a indicator of notability. The subject further doesn't qualify for WP:BLP1E because they are not a low-profile figure, and (no offense) have made attempts to self-promote through press releases, scheduled interviews, and more, which, by definition, makes them a high-profile figure.
  • Could the article be expanded? Of course. This wasn't something I immediately did, especially given that the subject is WP:CHILD, and I don't want to write too much about them. However, I do definitely think that there are areas of improvement.
  • A huge majority of your statements seem to WP:BITE and WP:CIVIL - inaccurately portraying the context of the situation. I would strongly ask that you take edits from new editors like me with WP:GOODFAITH. I would love to discuss any potential issues, but would love to do so in a civil manner, instead of making false, slanderous claims.
Liahuu (talk) 00:22, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Noting that you are a single purpose account is not a 'false claim' - 100% of your editing is either about this person or their nonprofit. You've had more than a month to work on your draft, WP:NPPHOUR clearly does not apply - all that really matters in this AFD is that the coverage is not sufficient to demonstrate notability, and your decision to push for an article anyway. Trying to turn this around and making it about me personally will not change that. - MrOllie (talk) 00:41, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
With all due respect, i'm not trying to change the topic of this AfD onto you, and I apologize if you feel that way. Claiming that i'm a "single purpose account", though, is personally insulting to me (WP:CIVIL), given that you aren't aware of the future contributions I intend to make on this platform, and simply claiming me as a marketing/spam account is highly offensive and slander when i've clearly mentioned that I don't have a conflict of interest about the subject, and if I did, I would have declared that. However, the COI is not the topic of this AfD, so here's my take on notability.
As for notability, I have mentioned this in my previous answer, but there is a sufficient amount of notability for the subject, which is the primary concern here and the reason this article has been nominated for AfD. WP:BLP1E isn't applicable here because the subject is high-profile (subject has intentionally decided to seek coverage and have published press releases in the past), and they've received sustained coverage (not a burst of coverage in a month or two). By means of WP:GNG, the subject is notable due to independent coverage in multiple sources. Liahuu (talk) 10:03, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As MrOllie (talk · contribs) explained, as it stands, you are a single-purpose editor. Possible intent to make future contributions elsewhere are irrelevant. Your only edits on Wikipedia have been related to TLEEM and Sharda, therefore you are a single-purpose editor. It really is that simple, and MrOllie was not being uncivil by pointing this out. Nor did he claim you were a marketing or spam account. You are casting aspersions which is itself uncivil. You should also read WP:WIKILAWYER. wound theology 13:36, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article is built upon clear original synthesis. No historian presents a War where one sided Mysore, Kingdom of France, the Marathas, and the Dutch where the opponents as Travancore supported by East India company and Kochin. What even surprises is as of mentioned here, the victory didn't favour to the Mysore where they both conflicted at Battle of Nedumkotta.

  • Comment As the nominator, I have no objection to the community's leaning toward merge if the ultimate decision is not to delete. This specific article has so few (1! - and that has one sentence in total) sources that any merge probably needs to refer to the parent, Kaplan, Inc., or to be merged into that article rather than any other, as the Kaplan Inc. article at least has a few references to a relationship with Nottingham Trent University and to Kaplan having been selected in 2018 as being authorized to deliver the SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Exam).

*Keep. No, all spaceflights on Wikipedia are catalogued this way, a "famous" person has nothing to do with this. If this were an issue as claimed, why wasn't this proposed anywhere for the last 5 years where these have been flying? Seems to be a case of someone only hearing about this for he first time do to connection with a celebrity, not realizing that these flights are always cataloged as such regardless of whose on board "it has a famous person so it should be removed". In that regard, it would be smart to leave these articles to the editors who routinely work on the spaceflight Wikipedia, not one whose just now heard of this and are trying to remove it for a silly reason. These aren't created because of the person abord, it's created so that a cohesive list of all human spaceflights exists across Wikipedia. This article would have existed no matter the crew abord.

WP:BLP of a city councillor, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL #2. As always, city councillors are not all automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to have a significant volume and depth of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about them and their work: specific things they did, specific projects they spearheaded, specific effects their work had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But this just goes "biographical background, elected twice, running for mayor this year, the end", which isn't what we need to see for content, and it's referenced to one primary source and three hits of cursory verification of her election results, which isn't what we need to see for sourcing.
People also do not get articles just for standing as candidates in future elections they haven't already won, so declaring her candidacy for mayor isn't a notability boost either. Rochester is a large enough city that she'll likely become eligible for an article if she wins the mayoral election once the ballots have been counted, but mayoral candidates don't get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates per se.
Simply existing as a city councillor is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt this article from having to have a lot more substance, and a lot more sources to support it, than this. Bearcat (talk) 15:31, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    This particular Wikipedia page is not exhaustive, but provides baseline biographical information for a major political figure in Rochester, NY. Holding public office does not entitle one to a Wikipedia page, however significance to regional culture, politics, history, etc. has long been used to deem eligibility of a Wikipedia page. Notable events, people, and places in Rochester often face barriers to entry in public forums given the diminishment or dismissal of their significance without due diligence to the media environment. Basic research on Mary Lupien in particular will point to her involvement in the aftermath of Daniel Prude's Killing, coverage of Rochester area policymaking, political dynamics in Western New York, national headline grabbing resistance to JD Vance, and public discourse on the Democratic Party. I understand that the current state of this page is minimal, but that was the point in creating it. Mary Lupien is a figure regularly discussed in media and government, so my intent is to create a framework for Wikipedia users to engage with and expand. As one person, I cannot in good faith attempt to singe-handedly source every substantive detail relevant to this or any topic. However, as a frequent user and participant in Rochester's local knowledge sharing, I can absolutely attest to the relevance and significance of Mary Lupien and numerous other topics. With pages like this, novice contributors with unique insights are punished for either 1) not adding enough information at one point in time or 2) creating too much bias or the perception thereof in what information is included. I am attempting to avoid this by sticking with easily sourced information on a topic significant to my community. The notability of this page's topic is absolutely significant enough to remain in the public forum at the very least to create a base for other users to contribute to.

I have strong belief that this subject does not meet the notability criteria mentioned in WP:GNG or WP:NGO. This article relies excessively on the use of primary sources, and when searched up, I can only see some reliable/secondary sources, and even then they are not independent of the subject (e.g interviews with the founder).

non-notable, WP:BEFORE returned 0 results for "International Jat Day" or "World Jat Day" from a scholar, books, or google cse search. a search for reporting returns a few articles all of which only had minimal coverage or rs issues. doesnt meet WP:SIGCOV, or WP:DEPTH if viewed as an event. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 13:32, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or merge redirect to Jats. Most of the article seems to duplicate Jats rather than talk about the day itself. Doesn’t seem notable enough for a standalone article.
Most egregious example of this: Half of the article is about “Historical Jat kingdoms” which is entirely unrelated to International Jat Day. This is where most of the book sources, and nearly half of all sources in the article come from.
Edit: Given how the majority of the article is likely AI-generated, and there is little unique info in the article that is reliable or not already covered by Jats, I have decided against merging.

Since nomination at AfD, the creating editor has added a rough translation from the urwiki article, but I am not sure what to make of the references that are now there - they look like primary sources to me, but my knowledge of Islam is quite poor. In any case, although my WP:BEFORE searches turned up references to the last ten nights of Ramadan and that the Night of Power occurs within that period (so the topic is possibly notable), I could find nothing linking the phrase Al-'Ashr al-Awakher with it at all.

First of all, I believe this footballer fails WP:SPORTCRIT because he only played 244 minutes in Albania's highest league and spent the rest of his career in lower divisions where attendance can be measured in the hundreds. But does he meet WP:GNG anyway?

Declined prod. There are 3 non-database/results sources. This one isn't SIGCOV as it's 2 small 1 line mentions. This and this are about his son dying and not SIGCOV about Vincent. Fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. Medalling in Indian Ocean Island Games is not considered a top tier competition for WP:NATH. LibStar (talk) 00:32, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Declined prod. 2 third party sources added, the rest are databases/results listings. This is a small 1 line mention and not SIGCOV. Fails WP:SPORTSCRIT and WP:NOLY. LibStar (talk) 00:25, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kapambwe was the top Olympian from his country and was noticed by The Baltimore Sun for running the entire Olympic marathon barefoot. It's all but certain there is more coverage than what I found; looking at Zambian newspapers would be a start, which is important to note because none of their 1960s archives have been checked yet. Yes, there's a systemic bias against African countries that affects the coverage available to us, but that's not the same thing as saying that no coverage exists, or even worse that we shouldn't look at all. --Habst (talk) 01:16, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Zambia at the 1964 Summer Olympics: No evidence of passing WP:GNG/WP:NSPORT. The Baltimore Sun "notice" flagged by the "keep" !voter above is a single WP:TRIVIALMENTION: However, three of the contestants started out barefoot. Harbanslal Harbanslal of India, Constantino Kapambwe of Northern Rhodesia and Mathias Kanda of Rhodesia. However, redirecting as an AtD will preserve the page history should future sourcing the qualifies this subject for mainspace be found. Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:50, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect. Nobody is saying that "we shouldn't look", we should, in theory, but more importantly, we "must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources". According to developments in policy, this must be in place before the article is created, not an infinite number of years after it's created – especially when there is no clear indication of notability such as here. I agree that there are issues regarding behaviour, as well as the D-word, disruptive editing, and I'd like to propose that these athlete prods/afds are placed on hold for a while, as they and the oftentimes nonsensical arguments therein are getting very tiresome.

  • Redirect to Zambia at the 1964 Summer Olympics as an alternative to deletionWP:WHYN and WP:SPORTCRIT both respectively state that "We require the existence of at least one secondary source so that the article can comply with Wikipedia:No original research's requirement that all articles be based on secondary sources." and that "All sports biographies [...] must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. [...]" The sources provided in the article do not help in establishing notability since they are either a database or don't provide significant coverage of the subject at hand. Searches performed on (but not limited to) Google or Newspapers.com didn't turn up any sources that would help establish notability. Looking at what we currently have, there doesn't seem to be enough to satisfy WP:GNG. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:58, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Aviationwikiflight, the keep argument in this case isn't in conflict with either of those guidelines. If we have reliable indicators that GNG-contributing sources exist, they can be used to fulfill WP:N even if they aren't linked in the article. --Habst (talk) 23:54, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
