Directions for expanding any division belowEdit

The general outline and collection has been started, but if you would like to expand and organize a discipline, here's what you do. Right below the page heading for the discipline insert this: {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Work groups/Division banner}} and save. This will put a rough outline together for you and then you can edit it to conform to your area. See Writers and critics below for an example. If your project grows large enough where it's taking up a good portion of this page, you should probably move it to a subpage of this page.

You might also want to make a Members section for people to join your specific area!

Tagging articlesEdit

Any article related to this work group should be marked by adding |a&e-work-group=yes to the {{WPBiography}} project banner at the top of its talk page. This will automatically place it into Category:Arts and entertainment work group articles. Articles can be assessed for priority within this work group by using the |a&e-priority= parameter. See Template:WikiProject Biography/doc for detailed instructions on how to use the banner.

I have multiple reasons for putting this in an AfDD.

1. The person who wrote most of the article has the username Marazano. If you check him on the French Wikipedia, you will see that his user page says that he is an author. 2. For me, it fails WP:GNG, because the vast majority of the article only praises him for his writings, and the vast majority of it is unsourced. The only sources are ones confirming he wrote those books, not that they have gotten "critical acclaim" and "positive reviews", like the article states. 3. I have put this on AfDD before, but only 1 person voted (excluding a sockpuppet). Cheers! // 🌶️Jalapeño🌶️ Don't click this link! 14:45, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Notability challenged since 2014. Sources are a combination of primary and user-generated. No showing of SIGCOV. Could possibly be merged to Charlie Higson, along w/ the other books in the series, as a possible AtD. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 16:51, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    There's no demonstration of notability for the series as a whole either. According to the author's article, there are seven books, five of which have individual articles here on WP. All the articles have issues similar to this one in that they just retell the plot w/ long, crufty character descriptions. For some reason, this was the only book article to get tagged.

None of the sources are about him as a person and I can not find any which do. There are a bunch of passing mentions, there are things about his books, there are quotes from him in various pubs, but nothing that passes the GNG. Guerillero Parlez Moi 20:11, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Comment References don't need to be about an author "as a person" in order to satisfy the relevant wiki-notability guideline. Authors are noteworthy because of their books. An encyclopedia article about an author should discuss their contributions to the world, not their favorite ice-cream flavor. XOR'easter (talk) 21:11, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    You still need a minimal amount of biographical information to write an article. If there is coverage of Attack of the 50-foot Blockchain, we should have an article on it instead of shoehorning an article about the author (who we can say very little about). -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 21:30, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Yes, we could refactor the page to be about the book instead of the author, but we do have things to say about the author. Declaring that his activities as a Wikipedia contributor and administrator aren't "biographical information" makes no sense to me. We have one book that meets WP:NBOOK, another that has at least gotten noticed [8][9], and descriptions of other activities. That's at the very least a good start towards a biography. XOR'easter (talk) 21:35, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Delete Agree with nom that the sources don't provide coverage of him as a person. I'm on the fence with how much the book(s) contribute to meeting WP:NAUTHOR, but lean towards no. FWIW, I'm a fan of the book, and would vote keep if I thought the sourcing/bio info was there, but I'm not seeing it right now. CarringtonMist (talk) 14:36, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Keep - WP:NAUTHOR is satisfied: criteria include The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors; or The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series). Just looking at Attack of the 50 foot blockchain, it's throwing up over 13,000 ghits for me, including mentions/reviews in the Financial Times, Al Jazeera, Wired, and The Guardian.

No evidence she meets WP:PROF, the "Institute of Psychophysical Research" appears to be an independent organization and she does not seem widely cited in Scholar for her work. - car chasm (talk) 18:02, 1 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep. First because people have gone to the trouble of contributing, and their contributions should not be deleted unless there is a good reason for it. Secondly, I would mention that the BBC series Everyman considered her work notable enough to be covered in a TV documentary in 1985 (not actually referred to in the existing Wikipedia article, but available here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCi_fZUAp7M ). Unless someone has a burning desire to 'cancel' research into this particular area of dream research (which, incidentally, has nothing intrinsically 'para' about it), please let this article stay. Chrisgp (talk) 15:15, 2 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep Google Scholar shows a respectable rate of citation for her work on lucid dreaming and out of body experiences. Some of the citing works will of course be agreeing, some just reporting and others disagreeing. But disagreement is not grounds for deletion! It is grounds for keeping because the topic is one of lively debate. Foiled circuitous wanderer (talk) 20:07, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Paul LundeEdit

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG; none of the provided citations offer independent coverage of Lunde, just works by Lunde. Searching the internet, Google Scholar, and my university library I was able to find two reviews of works by Lunde, [10] and [11], but which don't discuss Lunde himself or his role in the works at all. When considering the case for WP:NACADEMIC, both of the reviews I would describe as faint praise for the works, nor is there any evidence of a high h-index despite publishing extensively. One of Lunde's primary outlets has been Aramco World described as follows in an Indiana University paper [12]: As Aramco World approached its fiftieth anniversary in November 1999, a retrospective feature touted the cosmopolitan ethos of the publication in its very founding, as it supposedly emerged from Aramco's culturally sensitive priorities. Presuming a fundamental chasm between US Americans and Saudis, the magazine sought: "to bridge the natural but enormous cultural gaps between its expatriate, largely American, workers and their Saudi counterparts and hosts … "7 Founded in 1949 in New York, Aramco World was modeled after other contemporaneous US publications like Life and Saturday Evening Post.8 In 1964, it shifted its publication headquarters from New York to Beirut, where it remained until the beginning of the Lebanese Civil War in 1975.9...n the case of Aramco World, for example, tight Saudi control of the magazine's contents remained in place (as it does to this day), even though the magazine was being produced in Lebanon to, in part, present an ostensibly localized and authentic—rather than propagandistic—picture of the region.12; -- in other words, at best a general interest magazine, at worst a propaganda venture. In the absence of biographical sources about Lunde, I'm not seeing a case for notability. signed, Rosguill talk 04:37, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Biography of a writer, not properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for writers. The principal notability claim here is that his book exists, which isn't automatically enough in and of itself in the absence of a demonstrable WP:GNG pass for it, but the sourcing isn't getting him over GNG: it consists of one short newspaper blurb from 1885 that verifies the existence of the book without even naming the author at all, and one newspaper article from 2008 that isn't substantively about Vincent Holt or the book, but just glancingly namechecks their existence in the process of being fundamentally about the concept of the same dietary practice that the book was about. So these sources are acceptable but not enough, and he would have to have more than this to actually pass GNG. Bearcat (talk) 17:35, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:

    People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

    • If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

WorldCat and LOC listings merely indicate that someone has published something. That's not enough for WP:PROF, not by a long shot. The World Cleanup Day website is just a blurb from Let's Do It! India talking about themselves (We have a strong presence in 24 Indian states, etc.). XOR'easter (talk) 15:01, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Keep The subject is connected and elected to a post of the Party which is ruling Central Govt of India for last 9 years and looking into news articles i can say, He is the founder of the Let's Do It! India and also awarded by Alar Karis. He is also an Associate Professor in Delhi University, which is really a notable thing. He has been a Speaker at the World Economic Forum. He is notable as an Environment Activist. The subject passes WP:GNG and WP:BASIC as an environmentalist. He is working and worked as a researcher at many places as mentioned in the article.

    It's very, very rare for associate professors at any university to be notable by virtue of their academic achievements. Minor party officials generally aren't notable either, regardless of their party. XOR'easter (talk) 19:21, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep the article: Good quality content generation is always a difficult task especially there are numerous unsung heroes get no prominence due to lack of secondary sources or difficult to find such credible sources. Here, as we can see, this page related to the person seems to good acedemic reputation and is a budding environmentalist cum lawyer. His work got recognised at several places of high reputation like Princeton University and also by the Government of Estonia. He is also a founder of Environmental organization which is doing decent work.
I think we need to protect this page so that other youths get inspired from him and do some good for the environment. However, I would suggest to enrich the content with better language, its linkages for the public good. Ashishsuman14 (talk) 12:20, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Delete Does not meet the requirements laid out in WP:NPROF. Did WP:BEFORE including a Google search and couldn't find anything major about him. Articles about him in some news outlets don't have an author or come from questionable sources. Was admitted to the Professional Fellows Program but that's not a major award, it's a program out of the US State Department. Let's check the criteria from NPROF and see if they pass.
  1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.: Not that can be determined
  2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.: Only has a minor award given at a conference in Estonia.
  3. The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).: Claims to be a "directed studies fellow", I googled this title and he is the only person who comes up. So it's either the most selective honor ever given or it's not important.
  4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.: Was unable to find any of his published work in academic journals.
  5. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.: Not a named chair
  6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.: Not an admin of a major academic institution or society.
  7. The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.: Can't find anything
  8. The person has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area.: Not a chief editor of any journal.

This individual lacks notability and more importantly some information seems fabricated. For example, the article claims this individual to be "Vice President of the Jewish Community of Montenegro" but it is not true (the current website contradicts its previous version); ditto for "Chairwoman of OJC SEE". Also, "As a journalist, she works as film and TV critic", however she doesn't work for any notable media outlets, apart from her own blog, which is practically unknown but nevertheless advertised here.

Weak keep There's this, from the World Jewish Congress, [25], I assume is a RS and not related to the subject of this AfD. Plenty of sources in Serbian?, which I can't assess to notability or not using Gtranslate. Oaktree b (talk) 13:48, 1 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Comment reviews look arguably OK as they are right now; the article has been updated somewhat since nominated for deletion. Merge to Mahesh Kothare is a sensible ATD since this is an autobiography, if we're not going to keep it standalone... but again, that's difficult to evaluate.
