Directions for expanding any division below

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 articles

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.

See also: Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Artists Visual arts Surautomatism Surautomatism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats) (Find sources: Google (books · news · newspapers · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · NYT · TWL) Unsourced. The one quote included in this stub article does not use the word "surautomatism". Seems to be a neologism. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:55, 6 July 2019 (UTC) Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Arts-related deletion discussions. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:55, 6 July 2019 (UTC) Delete no sources MaskedSinger (talk) 20:38, 6 July 2019 (UTC) Delete Cannot find any significant (or even less significant), reliable, and independent sources on this. Fails WP:GNG. William2001(talk) 21:35, 6 July 2019 (UTC) Keep Looks like I made a mistake here. Thanks for letting me know. William2001(talk) 17:03, 8 July 2019 (UTC) Keep On reading this it sounded like pseudo-intellectual bullshit to me, but it is sourceable pseudo-intellectual bullshit and those saying they couldn't find anything didn't look very hard. Book sources include The Language of Surrealism and Historical Dictionary of Surrealism. Both sources confirm that Luca and Trost are responsible for this (the latter has entries for both of them [1][2]) so the fact that the Luca and Trost quotation does not contain the word is not very significant. Having said all that, I wouldn't oppose a merge into surrealism if someone wants to take that on. I don't think there is ever going to be a great deal to say about this subject. SpinningSpark 11:26, 7 July 2019 (UTC) Do the two sources you cite use the word? Beyond My Ken (talk) 11:32, 7 July 2019 (UTC) The source I provided actually uses the term surautomatism. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 13:43, 7 July 2019 (UTC) Yeah, the language is, well, "strange", but that "madness" is part of what "surrealism" was about, I think... --Matthiaspaul (talk) 13:50, 7 July 2019 (UTC) @Beyond My Ken: Why are you asking that question? Can you not follow the links I provided? And yes, they do use that word. The Historical Dictionary has it as a headword in an entry of a hundred words or so, and it is also used in the entries for "Trost, Dolfi" and "Entoptic Graphomania". The Language of Surrealism source says "They [Trost and Luca] termed their manic method surautomatism (Lucal and Trost 1945) or superautomatism (Trost 1945), and included examples of indecipherable writing, text produced so fast and with spasmodic muscle movements that the products could not be made out into conventional words." There is also some coverage in Sacred Surrealism, Dissidence and International Avant-Garde Prose, and it is listed as a surrealist technique in Architectural Draughtsmanship: From Analog to Digital Narratives. SpinningSpark 19:21, 7 July 2019 (UTC) I suggest now that you have found those sources, you edit the article to make it clearer that the word is legitimate. Perhaps then other editors, myself included, might agree that the article should not be deleted. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:12, 7 July 2019 (UTC) ...and maybe you should have said in the first place that your problem was you wanted to see the sources in the article rather than get me to waste my time replying to you here. If you want to petulantly persist with delete knowing that sources exist, that is entirely up to you. You have no business demanding that I do something with the article. It is not my responsibility to fix the article any more than it is yours or any other editor. It does not become my responsibility just because I found some sources. If I choose to do anything at all, it won't be until this AFD is closed. I'm not going to work on something only to have it deleted. SpinningSpark 22:41, 7 July 2019 (UTC) Keep. This is not a neologism, but an established though little-known term in arts. I've heard the German equivalent of it ("Surautomatismus") in arts courses in school many decades ago. The earliest source I could find is from 1945 already, and this might even be the source originally defining it (or at least being close to it). I have therefore added a reference to the text "Dialectique de la dialectique" by Gherasim Luca and Dolfi Trost stating (boldface by me): "Poussant l'automatisme jusqu'à ses limites les plus concrètes et absurdes (le surautomatisme, le talisman-simulacre), objectivisant d'une manière ininterrompue le hasard et l'obligeant à renoncer à son caractère de rareté provenant de la découverte de l'objet trouvé (l'objet objectivement offert, la graphomanie entropique), nous écartons l'idée insupportable de ne pouvoir le capter toujours." I think the article should be expanded, but if it cannot be kept the term should be redirected to "Dialectique de la dialectique". --Matthiaspaul (talk) 13:43, 7 July 2019 (UTC) With the added refs I meanwhile clearly see WP:GNG fulfilled to establish notability. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 19:44, 15 July 2019 (UTC) Comment @Spinningspark and Matthiaspaul: Thanks for the info. However, I do not think that keep is the solution here per WP:NOTDICTIONARY. Thoughts? Thanks. William2001(talk) 19:18, 7 July 2019 (UTC) I don't agree. Citing NOTDICTIONARY without any explanation of why this is a dictionary entry, well, you may as well cite WP:IDON'TLIKEIT. Which of the four major criteria on NOTDICTIONARY do you believe this page fails? It is four sentences plus a lengthy quotation, which is more than a typical dictionary entry and certainly goes beyond a definition. Further, the article is clearly capable of expansion from the sources. SpinningSpark 19:33, 7 July 2019 (UTC) See this for the back story of articles created by the same now-banned editor. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:16, 7 July 2019 (UTC) But that user wasn't blocked for creating articles about rare arts topics, or was he? I mean, nobody get's it right all the time, and the variant "soufflage" is in fact used by some (even some academics), so he might have known the technique under this name rather than "sifflage". We still have to further narrow down its first usage in order to sort out if Wikipedia introduced the spelling variant or not. If so, that would be sad, but for as long as it was not deliberately created (as a joke or hoax or whatever) we can't put the blame on a former user, but should put it more on our ignorant or lazy community not recognizing it in all those years. Actually, we than should thank that former user for creating an entry for it in the first place at all. I haven't checked for why that user was blocked and don't defend him, I just think that it isn't a drama. Let's fix it and be happy. What is more annoying is the fact that so many arts terms were nominated for deletion recently that is is next to impossible to properly research them all in the given time frame, so it is very likely that some of them will slip through and be deleted even though they are notable - and articles about rare/obscure topics once deleted are seldomly recreated because experts about these topics are rare as well. At least I don't want Wikipedia to be an encyclopedia for mainstream topics only. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 23:37, 8 July 2019 (UTC) Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 11:36, 14 July 2019 (UTC) Keep. The sources SpinningSpark provided are fairly cut-and-dry. The argument that it needs to be fixed immediately to avoid deletion seems like textbook WP:IMPATIENT to me. I also found this journal article which discusses surautomatism on pp. 4–7. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 14:09, 14 July 2019 (UTC) That's a good one. I have added (as raw refs for now) to the article what we found so far. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 19:41, 15 July 2019 (UTC) Keep. I personally would very much prefer to see the outcome of this discussion be that this article is kept. Although the article is undoubtedly beset with problems, my inclination is to have the sense that these certainly can be fixed. StewBrewer (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:19, 14 July 2019 (UTC) Keep not a neologism. Reliable sources exist. Vexations (talk) 12:55, 15 July 2019 (UTC) Keep article needs a lede rewrite to make the etymology clearer.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:08, 16 July 2019 (UTC) Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Visual arts-related deletion discussions. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:09, 16 July 2019 (UTC) Eugene Mackaben Eugene Mackaben (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats) (Find sources: Google (books · news · newspapers · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · NYT · TWL) GNG and WP:ARTIST fail. I cannot find any sources online. Those mentioned at end of article are largely local. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:50, 10 July 2019 (UTC) Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Artists-related deletion discussions. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:50, 10 July 2019 (UTC) Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Visual arts-related deletion discussions. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:50, 10 July 2019 (UTC) Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Arizona-related deletion discussions. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:52, 10 July 2019 (UTC) Comment, Mackaben's work is held at Tucson Museum of Art (see here), and the University of Arizona Museum of Art (here, and here), his work was exhibited after his death ie. 1998 exhibition, Tucson's Early Moderns, 1945-1965 held at the University of Arizona Museum of Art (here) (have added this to article), so with the info already in the article (unfortunately without inline references) may be enough to meet WP:ARTIST? Coolabahapple (talk) 00:15, 12 July 2019 (UTC) Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 08:05, 17 July 2019 (UTC) Part of the problem is that the way that TucsonArt (talk · contribs) cited sources in xyr original article was fairly rubbish, and has got no better via any cleanup effort since. The ″American Artists of Renown, 1981″ is actually a biography of this person, in a book of artist biographies. It has stuff that this article has not gained in 9 years, including the location and precise date of birth of the subject for example. The one item of TDC coverage that I checked includes biographical information and information about one of the artist's works (Mexican Market Scene, not mentioned in our article), with a reproduction of it above the piece and a report of a prize that it won. I suggest a more thorough review of the citations already present from the initial creation of the article, to see what is being cited and how in-depth they are. I have improved those two.

The only notability claim being made here is that he and his books exist, with no evidence of awards or distinctions that would clinch him as "inherently" notable -- but the sourcing isn't getting him over GNG, as one of the "references" is just a clarifying geographical note rather than an actual source; one is a (deadlinked) primary source profile on the website of his own (former?) employer, not notability-supporting media coverage; and the third is just a glancing namecheck of his existence as a giver of soundbite on one page of a book. This is not enough sourcing to get him over the sourceability-based inclusion bar, but nothing stated in the article body is significant enough to get him over the achievement-based inclusion bar either.

A legit historian with a decent number of citations but seems not to meet NPROF. Fair to compare with other Nigerian historians like Saburi Biobaku or Adiele Afigbo which Google Scholar finds far more citations for. I searched for book reviews but didn't find enough to really move the needle here. Haukur (talk) 09:33, 20 July 2019 (UTC) Okay, striking my !vote as per the work below. Haukur (talk) 20:17, 20 July 2019 (UTC) Keep -- (1) It seems clear that "Professor" is used in the British sense, not the American one as a synonym for lecturer. (2) He has a significant body of published work. I do not know Mindex, but the other books are with major publishers. (3) "Chief Commissioner" is probably a status equivalent to minister at the state level, and probably also qualifies him as WP notable. He appears to have retired in the 1980s before the arrival of the Internet; certainly before it significantly penetrated Nigeria. Accordingly the lack of web citations does not concern me. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:35, 20 July 2019 (UTC) Keep (as nom - withdrawn request) per Peterkingiron. I wasn't aware of the usage of academic ranks outside the US. Pinging Haukurth, if they also find Peter's argument convincing, they may strike their vote so this AfD can be closed as speedy keep. --MrClog (talk) 14:03, 20 July 2019 (UTC) I'm not quite sure I understand the argument. Not all full professors are notable. The books may well qualify him but I'd like to see some reviews on them first. I'd like to keep this open a little longer and see if some of the regulars on academic figures chime in. Haukur (talk) 14:15, 20 July 2019 (UTC) I found reviews for the two London-published books but not for the African-published ones. I don't know whether that reflects a greater impact for those books, a different culture of book reviewing between Europe and Africa, or a disconnect between the African-published scholarly literature and the internet. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:02, 20 July 2019 (UTC) Keep. He appears to be a prominent scholar of the region, his books have multiple reviews, and he also served as a cabinet member in a state-level subdivision of Nigeria. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:11, 20 July 2019 (UTC) Keep. The reviews found by David Eppstein seal the deal. I don't find the comparisons made by Haukur convincing. We don't demand that an American or British or any other Western academic should be among the top few in their country, so we shouldn't demand that of a Nigerian academic. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:13, 20 July 2019 (UTC) Keep A healthy collection of reviews to count towards WP:AUTHOR and probably holding a rank equivalent to a US "distinguished professor", as well as his political service.

WP:PROF is not yet met--as the article didn't list any of her published work, I added her most cited paper (19 times in Google Scholar). The next highest is 4 times). Notability otherwise would have to be based upon a number of announcements of non-notable awards, and I don't think that meets GNG.

No pass of WP:Prof. I don't see enough yet for WP:GNG. Xxanthippe (talk) 07:30, 18 July 2019 (UTC). Keep Meets WP:GNG. I have added sources, which now range from 2003 - 2019, and include the Australian Journal of Pharmacy, Deadly Vibe, The Koori Mail, Dubbo Photo News, Triple M, Western Magazine, and Narromine News. At least four of them are SIGCOV. RebeccaGreen (talk) 18:54, 18 July 2019 (UTC) Keep. She doesn't appear to pass WP:PROF, but the sources now in the article cover her in-depth, appear to be at a national level rather than purely local, and are from a wide enough range of years to show that it's not just for the new AWY award. So I think she passes WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:11, 18 July 2019 (UTC) Keep All other things being equal, I'd be inclined to say "delete". But we cannot tolerate the out-of-control and institutionally sexist arrangements that hold professional athletes (mostly male) to manifestly lower inclusion standards than academics (a more gender-balanced profession). There's at least an argument here that the subject of the article meets the GNG. It's not a great argument. I have qualms about the reliability of trade magazines such as the Australian Pharmacy Journal and local news papers doing puff pieces. But the article is in good shape thanks to the good work of experienced editors, and the subject of the article is clearly a highly accomplished individual who can make multiple claims of notability, and the article is sufficiently verified, so I am happy to have the article. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:48, 18 July 2019 (UTC) Are you actually saying that because the consensus is to have a low standard of notability in one field, we should have it in other fields also? (as for equity, there has been quite a flood of barely notable female athletes also. ) DGG ( talk ) 01:31, 20 July 2019 (UTC) No, I'm not saying that. Ideally we would lift the standard of notability for athletes. It's absurd that merely being a professional athlete is usually sufficient for notability. But being a professional academic, or a professional artist, or a professional nurse, quite correctly, isn't. In the meantime, the next best thing to do is to say that if the case for an academic is marginal, male or female, I'll incline towards keep. Here WP:PROF isn't met, but WP:GNG is at least arguable, and the article is ok, so I'm comfortable with keeping it. --Mkativerata (talk) 05:56, 20 July 2019 (UTC) Keep I'm persuaded that she passes WP:GNG, per David Eppstein and RebeccaGreen. XOR'easter (talk) 14:40, 19 July 2019 (UTC) Comment I have added more sources, now from The Sydney Morning Herald (2003), Illawarra Mercury (2010), and Daily Advertiser (2014) - all articles about her.

A standard BEFORE (JSTOR, newspapers.com, Google Books, Google News) finds no WP:RS. There is a non-RS book review [3] but this seems to be on an entirely different Prosperi and is irrelevant to establish WP:N in any case. Our policy on BLPs states that "human dignity and personal privacy be taken into account, especially in articles of ephemeral or marginal interest."

Chetsford (talk) 16:04, 16 July 2019 (UTC) If you look at the ″About the author″ section at the back of the book, you will find that it is the same person. There's no clue to be had there where we could go to find this person's life and works independently and reliably documented in depth. There's a clue in the coyness of that section, moreover, that they will not be. And they are not, as far as I can determine. Original research that does not pass muster for Wikipedia (I looked xem up on LinkedIn.) leads me to understand that the first sentence of this article, written in the present tense, is utterly wrong. What we have is wrong, and a biography cannot be written in accordance with our content policies. Uncle G (talk) 16:39, 16 July 2019 (UTC) Good point, I found the same LinkedIn page. If correct, this article seems to be a "creative" perspective of his actual vocation. This is definitely the problem in sourcing an entire BLP to a single fandom source. Frankly, Oracle Utilities Energy Information Platform Release Notes [4] from Oracle Corporation may have been more widely distributed than the works we list in this article, even if the subject isn't as scintillating as a monster manual.

Let me quote the version of 3 February 2019, at 01:37 (and therefore before deletion at AfD): Christopher C. Lee was born to Taiwanese parents, Jeff Lee and Ai-Ling Tracy Chuang, in San Jose, California. His parents immigrated to California from Taipei, Taiwan and lived in Fremont during his childhood. He began to develop an interest in various forms of artistry and was heavily involved in street art and hip hop. He immersed himself into streetwear, graffiti and urban culture through exposure to underground artist exhibitions and fashion shows. He conversed with Haight Street, San Francisco artists and designers to gain more knowledge. Growing up in his teenage years, he was known for being a polymath. He excelled in many topics such as physics, mathematics, philosophy, dance, fashion design, computer science, photography, cinematography, business and marketing. By contrast (or not), here's the current version: Christopher C. Lee was born to Taiwanese parents, Jeff Lee and Ai-Ling Tracy Chuang, in San Jose, California.

This leans heavily on her being nominated for mostly non-notable literary awards that don't constitute automatic notability freebies -- and while there is one award here that is notable enough to be a valid notability claim for a writer, that's still not an instant free notability pass that exempts her from actually having to have any WP:GNG-worthy coverage in reliable sources: the notability test for writers is not the things the article says, but the depth and quality of the referencing that the article uses to support the things it says. But the only references here are her self-written biographical blurbs on the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations and events, not reliable or independent or notability-supporting media coverage.

COI and PROMO concerns notwithstanding, and while I'm not perhaps ready to advocate a "keep" or "delete" either way, I am not personally sure GNG is met. I say this because, while there is clearly some coverage of the subject (including of the 2014 "young entrepreneurs" win), much of it wouldn't seem to meet the SIGCOV guidelines. Specifically, much of the coverage seems to be in non-national outlets like the Connacht Tribune and Galway Advertiser (the latter a regional freesheet). The coverage that is in national outlets seems either to be only indirectly related to the subject, or is not entirely independent of the subject. On the former ("subject not primary topic of coverage") for example, the piece in the Independent Health and Wellbeing supplement is more about paleo diets than the subject, and in the Irish Times piece the subject is mentioned among several other potential personal trainers. On the latter ("coverage not independent of subject"), pieces like the Business & Finance interview would seem to be Q&A/PR pieces published to coincide with the subject's press activity/book launches/etc. It may be that the article can be improved (to address the COI and PROMO issues). But, once we've removed all the uncited NOTCV stuff (about primary school and early interest in fitness), and tempered the uncited PROMO stuff (about having the best selling fitness book in Ireland), I'm not sure what is left. (Other than the shout-out from Facebook for being good at Facebook. And the award from the Galway business community for being good at business. And the two books. All of which are great. And laudable. But which are perhaps not particularly strong notability claims relative to this project's goals). The subject's listing on his PR/entertaintment agency's website is quite likely accurate. And he likely can be described as an "author and corporate speaker from Galway who features regularly in print media, radio and TV". Whether that meets this project's criteria I'm not sure either way.... Guliolopez (talk) 02:13, 15 July 2019 (UTC) Further comment.

What's holding me off from a straight WP:NOTGENEALOGY !vote is that he authored a work - Arrau, Lorenzo de: Reconocimiento de las Plazas, Pertrechos y herramientas que se hallan en la frontera de este Reyno. Concepción, 10 de abril de 1769 which is still referenced by modern writers.[15][16] This is not presently in the article and may pass WP:NBOOK (and our subject might pass NAUTHOR) - but this require familiarity with Chilean sources that is beyond my purview (i.e. this may be an obscure travel log, or something that is beyond obscure).

We would need multiple reviews showing that Brown's bio of Hofstaer is notable to show that Brown is a notable writer and that is lacking. I have to wonder if the article is outdated since it mentions his last work was 10 years ago. Ok, most historians do not have the output level of Fred E. Woods (that article I do not think has been updated with all his works), although Woods publishes multiple works that are variations on the same theme, and Woods is more a compiler than a writer of prose, but there is no indication that Brown is seen as an impactful historian, and I say that as someone who has engaged more in metahistorial intellectual history studies than many.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:16, 13 July 2019 (UTC) Note: This discussion has been included in the list of History-related deletion discussions.

Setting aside the supposed Pulitzer nomination, his faculty profile already makes a clear case for WP:PROF#C5 (endowed professorship) and WP:AUTHOR (multiple published reviews of his books): "David Brown, Raffensperger Professor of History ... His work has been reviewed in the New York Times, New York Review of Books, Times Literary Supplement, New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, (London) Sunday Times, The Irish Times, and The Australian." As nominated, the article already contained external links to NYT and WSJ reviews of his books, so there is little excuse for the nominator to have failed to account for this in the nomination, and even less excuse for JPL to say we "need multiple reviews" when those reviews are already present. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:11, 14 July 2019 (UTC) Comment Major thanks for the improvements to the article.

As always, every award that exists on earth is not always an automatic notability freebie -- notability because awards attaches to major national awards that get regular press coverage, on the level of the Governor-General's Awards or the Pulitzer or Booker Prizes, and not just to every small-fry award that exists. But of the 13 footnotes in the book article, six are metareferencing the book to itself, which do not constitute support for its notability; three are needless reduplication of a single review in a travel guide; two are needless reduplication of a single review on a non-notable and unreliable blog; and one is a piece of "local woman does stuff" in her own hometown newspaper -- and the only source in her BLP is a glancing namecheck of her existence at the end of a blurb about somebody else in a listicle. None of this is enough sourcing to get either the book or the author over WP:GNG, but the "Banff Mountain Book Festival" is not an "inherently" notable award that would exempt them from having to have much better sourcing than this just because the word "award" is involved.

(I looked for citations that described the people as both non-binary and writers/authors within the same citation. I did not yet have time to look for citations for most of the people, only a few of them.) As to whether the list is redundant in a way that wouldn't normally or shouldn't allow for a separate article, I don't know; I see we have e.g. List of people from Michigan as well as List of Michigan writers as distinct lists (but "WP:OSE"). -sche (talk) 05:07, 13 July 2019 (UTC) Pinging the article's creator, @Antiqueight:: can you help add references, please? Personally, I would be inclined to keep the list if most of the individuals can be referenced (and any that can't be are removed). -sche (talk) 21:45, 15 July 2019 (UTC) I'll go through and update with references where I can and remove what I can't but I believe the list needs to remain and that the existence of List of people with non-binary gender identities is irrelevant. I'm at work right now but I'll get to it later when I can. Thank you @-sche: for the notification. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 09:06, 16 July 2019 (UTC) Keep Having a list of people with non-binary gender identities is not a reason not to also have a list of non-binary writers. We have lists of women writers from different centuries and different places - being able to find writers of female gender or non-binary gender, etc, is of interest to readers. I have added a couple of references, but I am wondering why some names are in the list, when the articles about the people don't indicate that they have/had non-binary identities - eg Beth Brant, whose article has the category "non-binary writers", but who, according to the article, "became active in the feminist community and announced her sexual orientation as a lesbian", and the article uses she/her pronouns throughout; and Marjorie Celona, whose article makes no mention, in the text or categories, of being non-binary, and uses she/her pronouns. Should I delete any I notice who seem inappropriately included? @-sche:, @Antiqueight:, what do you think? RebeccaGreen (talk) 17:36, 18 July 2019 (UTC) Yeah, if nothing in the article confirms it and you do a quick google for their name + "non-binary" and don't see anything relevant that could be added to the article ('cause IMO making at least a little good-faith attempt to find sources is a good best practice), I'd say remove them (per BLP and all). I'll try and look for citations for more myself when I have time. -sche (talk) 18:36, 18 July 2019 (UTC) Thanks. Sure, I'm always happy to find and add sources!

Thanks, North America1000 02:13, 20 July 2019 (UTC) Keep We have lists for writers who are women or men. This completes the lists for writers who are not women or men. The topic is not too general which a list of non-binary people might be. Though the relatively small percentage of notable people out as non binary keeps the list small today, eventually it will be a list that is too general. The topic is not too specific, it isn't only non binary writers from North America. People on the list are notable. There has been some additions to the list that are incorrect or insufficiently cited. This will be rectified over the next couple of weeks and the list tracked to double check all additions have citations. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 22:33, 20 July 2019 (UTC) Note Since nobody else has supported deletion and references have been added, I'm fine with this discussion ending early as either Keep or nomination withdrawn. I still don't feel that it's really necessary considering we have a list of non-binary people and a category for non-binary writers, but it seems to be a losing battle. I do think that we need to discuss the inclusion of some entries on the list, not just if they identity as non-binary, but also if they're even notable as writers. But that can be had on the talk page.

I would argue for notability for two reasons. First, originality of approach, technique, and subject (in the spirit of item 2. of WP:AUTHOR as I read it - apologies, I am a novice), and the author's participation in a notable collective body of work (in the spirit of item 3. of WP:AUTHOR - this point I will seek to clarify, with refs, promptly). The three works listed are recognised as 'firsts' on the subjects, which would not be notable in itself except that those subjects are significant (an indication of this may be the significant attention / discussion that the corresponding Wikipedia articles generate) - Carlos Duarte Costa, Ngo Dinh Thuc, Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church. It could be considered remarkable that there has been no previous monograph ever written on these topics, and therefore these first scholarly publications on the subjects are notable. I will aim to add more references and sources as they appear (the works are fairly recent). Another aspect of notability, I would argue, is the subject's significant founding role in the UK branch of a significant international movement, the Catholic Worker Movement. I would argue that it is in keeping with the overall goal to properly identify the significant individuals of a) a notable but comparatively little-researched area of academic and social interest, and b) a notable and comparatively little-researched international social movement. I hope these comments help - as I say, a mere beginner! Apollinari (talk) 06:03, 10 July 2019 (UTC) Note that source does not state that he helped found the Catholic Workers Movment - which was founded in 1933, by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin - but only that he was part of a group that established some sort fo a "house" for a London branch of that movement.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:43, 17 July 2019 (UTC) Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Italy-related deletion discussions.

CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 06:27, 10 July 2019 (UTC) Delete Fails WP:SIGCOV, fails WP:AUTHOR. Much/most of the sourcing is PRIMARY. The claims to notability are co-founding a Catholic Worker's house, sourced to Catholic Worker. Writing 2 books, but no book reviews are given. If, someone manages to find INDEPENDENT reviews of the books in WP:RS publications, please ping me to revisit. I am always willing to change an iVote when shown solid sources. This, however, appears to be PROMO for a non-notable author.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:00, 10 July 2019 (UTC) Keep To clarify, three book reviews are given, one from a journal (an established print periodical) and two from a serious blog. May I ask whether the subjective comment about the article being a PROMO (above) is intended to cast doubt on the good faith of the submitter? Apollinari (talk) 12:17, 11 July 2019 (UTC) I am not familiar with "RENEW" magazine, but the like given on the page is [19], which did not look like an edited periodical, and may not be INDEPENDENT. A wrodpress blog by an non-notable person is not useful in establishing notability. The forward to the book is not INDEPENDENT of the book. Is there a review that I am missing? Nor does PROMO posted on the publisher's page. And the fact that he had written articles does not contribute unless those articles are discussed in reliable publications.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:36, 11 July 2019 (UTC) Also, I see that you are new here, and, therefore, probably unaware that it is customary when comment at AfD about a page you created to identify yourself as the page creator.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:40, 11 July 2019 (UTC) Striking good faith duplicate iVote made by new user presumably unaware that although we can comment repeatedly, only one bolded iVote per customer.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:44, 11 July 2019 (UTC) Thanks for the guidance, it is truly appreciated. Sorry to insist but I see this accusation of doing promotion as unwarranted conjecture and speculation. I am new, yes, but Wikipedia guidelines enjoin us to presume good faith, and I am doing my best! And what does "And the fact that he had written articles does not contribute (etc.)" mean? Who had written articles? Me?Apollinari (talk) 04:10, 12 July 2019 (UTC) It refers to Jarvis. Publishing a book or an article does not show that a writer is notable. Books only support the notability of the author by Wikipedia standards if multiple WP:RS publications review or engage with the book. Such material must be WP:INDEPENDENT. And if Jarvis publishes an essay in a the New Statesman or The Guardian, that does not establish notability. But if he publishes such ab article, and The Nation and The Times write articles about the article Jarvis wrote, the discussion about his writing contributes ot establishing his notability by Wikipedia standards. for a dramatic instance of this, see Michael Anton. E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:42, 12 July 2019 (UTC) Thanks. Indeed. I believe I never contested that.

Thanks, Sandstein 10:47, 17 July 2019 (UTC) Taking a look at the sources, one by one: Soources # 2 & 3 are a blog VagrantVicar are NOT WP:RS. source # 4 : Alexandre Christoyannopoulos, Christian Anarchism: a political commentary on the gospel,]] (Imprint Academic, Exeter, 2011, pp 355-356, p 408ff) is a WP:RS, althogh I cannot access the relevant page online. The page, however, uses this source only to claim that Jarvis was part of a group that established a residential house in London as part of the Catholic Worker Movement. A worthy activity, but not a notable one. The fact that a newsletter of the Catholic Worker movement mentions him does not contribute to notability. to understand how inadequate the sourcing here is, look at citation #5: [20]. It is an announcement for a Catholic Worker panel discussion, but Jarvis isn't one of the panelists, he's the contact person. Ditto for source # 6, 7, 8 & 9. \ Source # 1, #11 not INDEPENDENT; it is the preface of a book by Jarvis. Source # 12 is a blog 13 is Jarvis' publisher Sources # 10, 15 [21] are to a Catholic magazine called RENEW. The 2018 reference is to an article Jarvis wrote; the 2019 reference is behind the subscribers-only paywall. it is very likely to be an article Jarvis wrote, as the 2018 citation was. This would leave us with the mention in a book of the fact that he was part of a group or committed that opened a Catholic Worker residence in London as our sole SECONDARY, WP:RS source. It ≠ notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:47, 17 July 2019 (UTC) The 2019 article is a book review by a Paul Dean, as indicated in the reference. I wonder why it appeared "very likely to be an article Jarvis wrote" when the reference is clear and we are Assuming Good Faith Apollinari (talk) 01:18, 18 July 2019 (UTC) Thank you for identifying this citation (Paul Dean, 'Book Reviews', RENEW, No. 189, March 2019, p 17 ), the nature of which was not at all clear to me. I guessed that it was "very likely" to be an article Jarvis wrote because the first citation was to an article Jarvis wrote.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:07, 18 July 2019 (UTC) Renew - small publication backed by Hans Küng, Mary Grey, Elizabeth Stuart, Tony Flannery and others, among the most influential (and controversial) figures in the field. Leaning is progressive, feminist, LGBT theology. No question it is WP:RS. So the total is two WP:RS references? As I commented, the issue seems quantity of quality sources, not quality itself. Could use more voices, insights and sources on this but I imagine that would require some time to pass (WP:POTENTIAL). I don't think deletion would be a travesty but this is not clear outright fail of WP:AUTHOR WP:GNG either, as I'm sure many cases are. Borderline case.Vintage-vintner (talk) 07:13, 18 July 2019 (UTC) summing up We have 2 WP:RS items for Jarvis' career. 1 review of a book he wrote. 1 book (page view not available when I searched) that discusses or mentions the fact that he was part of a group that established a Catholic Worker Movement something in London. Not clear what it was that the participated in crating. a newsletter? a residence? a London chapter of the movement? It is not clear what the claim is. One book review in a WP:RS does not pass WP:AUTHOR. E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:07, 18 July 2019 (UTC) I find the claims clear from the article, which is where the claims should presumably be found. Catholic Worker is described as an international network of branches, co-founding London Catholic Worker would mean co-founding the London branch. It's amazing what can seem clear to one person and not to another, I agree that it's terribly confusing sometimes. I don't think it can be a decisive argument that an editor cannot access one of the WP:RS book references and therefore discards it. It is not a criterion of WP:RS that it be free online access, how would that work? But I get it, the more you contribute the more rules you get to invent.Vintage-vintner (talk) 11:47, 18 July 2019 (UTC) We still have only 2 sources on this person.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:58, 18 July 2019 (UTC) Comment -- That is much more a discussion of verifiability of sources, not of notability. He has clearly undertaken research on dissident Catholics. I note that he is now in his mid-40s, and has recently published three books, all with the same publisher. The article says nothing of what he has done before. I suspect that his doctorate is a recent one and the three books are a spin-off from his thesis. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:48, 20 July 2019 (UTC) True. The books may be able to show impact, in the form of scholarly discussion, citation, in a few years. But I have searches, and I presume some of the editors arguing keep have also searches, and I just can't find sources. That, plus the fact that [[User:Vintage-vintner is an WP:SPA; account created the day after this discussion began, has edited only on a narrow range of closely connected topics.E.M.Gregory (talk) 02:09, 21 July 2019 (UTC) Carl Heldmann Carl Heldmann (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats) (Find sources: Google (books · news · newspapers · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · NYT · TWL) Of the five references provided in this article, three are to Heldmann’s own work. The one in the LA Times I can’t access and the last is a passing mention. I can’t find any other references.

Mccapra (talk) 05:27, 9 July 2019 (UTC) User:Mccapra, As you say, his books are notable and sources exist from which the page can be improved. However, you appear to misunderstand WP:CREATIVE, with, writers, composers, painters and other CREATIVE types, we do not require that anything at all is known about the creator, only that the work is notable.

Added two book reviews and a NYTimes article stating that one of his books sold 300,000 copied. This page just needs an editor to put the work in, but it may require access to news archive searches.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:25, 10 July 2019 (UTC) Comment. Thanks but I still don’t think this passes WP:ANYBIO. The NYT source is a passing reference consisting of one sentence. The CNN source is likewise a passing ref consisting of a one-sentence quote. The last two refs you’ve added don’t have links so I can’t see them, but suspiciously they have identical titles. When I search for that title I turn up a third piece in the NY Daily News also headed “Want to be your own contractor? First read this“. From which I conclude this is most likely just a recycling of launch PR. My conclusion is still that while some of his books may be notable, he isn’t. Mccapra (talk) 06:50, 15 July 2019 (UTC) Note, however, that they are signed reviews by different journalists, both apparaently using an obvious play on world of the book title.

There are multiple areas where the article attempts to establish notability, but fails. The article says he is well known in the entertainment sector in India, yet there seems to be no significant secondary coverage. A breakdown of the article's sources: 1st Source: Does not mention subject 2nd Source: Dead Link 3rd Source: mentions the subject's name once, but there is not enough context to determine if the source is referring to the same person. 4th Source: An editorial, which does not meet Wikipedia's guidelines. 5th Source: A photo gallery. A google search of the name reveals only 300 results, which consist mainly of either unrelated material, Wikipedia duplicate sites, etc. There also exists no Hindi variant of the page, which is another sign the subject lacks notability. The article makes numerous bold but false claims, most notably that Mr. Jafri has won an Indian Academy Award in 1989 (which there is no record of) and that he helped create a show called Badhte Kadam, which the article says is the longest running play in Indian history with 482 nights in a row. The problem is that 1. Badhte Kadam appears to be an indian charity, and 2. that there is actual reputable independent coverage of the play 'Hai Mera Dil,' which is the actual longest showing play in India, with over 1,000 showings (source: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/With-1098-shows-Hindi-play-among-longest-running-in-Mumbai/articleshow/21889796.cms ) There are also no reviews that I can find of any of his supposedly 9 books, 11 plays, 20+ sound and light productions or any of his radio and TV serials. The article claims the subject created the play Shatranj Mohre in 1999, but the play is an adaptation of a film of the same name, was Created by P.L.Deshpande, not Vilayet Jafri, and has been performed in India since the 1970s. Awards: While the article mentions him having won numerous awards, there are no reliable sources to verify this information. In reality, there is information proving the exact opposite. The page states Mr. Jafri won the Tulsi Samman award, yet the sourced list of award winners on the award's page does not mention him. There is also no evidence the "Sanket Samman" award even exists. Going through every award results in either A. The subject not being listed among the award's recepients or B. Not enough verifiable coverage of the award to determine the award even exists. Conclusion: this article is more than likely a hoax. Nothing the article says is backed up with any evidence whatsoever, with much of the information directly contradicting known facts (most notably having received an Indian Academy Award). No verifiable media coverage can be found. The icing on the cake is this sentence on the original draft of the page: "Vilayet Jafri was born on 2nd October 1935 in Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh, India to an illustrious family of patriots who stood against the British during the Indian freedom struggle. As a result, his Great Grandfather was sentenced to death while his Grandfather was imprisoned in 1921." The article was clearly written from a non-neutral point of view and none of the information presented by the article should be considered trustworthy.
