Lacks Notability. Fails GNG. 4 out of 2 sources are written by subject himself ( can’t be used for notability). One is press release and another one is a blog written by his friend. Rahmatula786 (talk) 15:20, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People and Nepal. Shellwood (talk) 15:25, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for taking the time to review the article. I would like to respectfully clarify a few points and highlight the efforts already made to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines (WP:GNG).
    I have invested significant time and effort researching and compiling information about Basu Gautam, and I understand the importance of maintaining Wikipedia’s standards. While it is true that some of the initial sources include self-authored content and a press release, these were added to provide context rather than to establish notability.
    However, I want to emphasize that my work did not stop there. I have actively sought and included additional sources, and I am in the process of further expanding the references with reliable, independent, secondary sources that offer significant coverage. These sources aim to address the notability concerns directly.
    I deeply value Wikipedia's commitment to neutrality and verifiability, and I am fully open to constructive suggestions for improvement. If you are aware of specific independent sources or ways to enhance the article's compliance with GNG, I welcome your input.
    Please note that I am committed to improving this article and ensuring it aligns with Wikipedia’s content policies. I kindly request time to make these updates, as I believe the subject has contributed in ways that merit encyclopedic recognition.Please revisit page again GlobalEmpathy (talk) 16:06, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: per Das osmnezz, this article needs improvement, not deletion. The notable sources include The Guardian and Al Jazeera. There's enough WP:SIGCOV to meet at least WP:BASIC.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:16, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ironically, The Guardian is just a pointer, had people only looked. There's a paragraph that can serve to expand the article in Watson 2022, p. 239. There's other information, helpfully itself built from news coverage, in Wells 2022, pp. 148–149. ISBN 9781509854257 p. 121 is a glancing mention, but is the sort of source that could be used for an introduction. (Unfortunately, the Alberto Lati book that has more is not, as Ediciones Plan B is a self-publishing outfit. For goodness' sakes, Alberto!) In Boniface 2018, p. 57 is found the fact that this was three teams in one club: men's, women's, and under 20s. I didn't look much further, because then I reached Rodríguez López & Estupiñán Osorio 2022, which is over 40 pages on this subject and must be good for at least another paragraph, not least on the mixed reception to the idea.

Non-notable "physician", "politician", and individual. Fails WP:BIO, WP:NAUTHOR, WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:53, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Who said she's a politician? Ahola .O (talk) 14:02, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't mentioned or categorized that she's a politician or an author. She passes both WP:BIO and WP:GNG.
Here are some reports about her on Businessday and Thisdaylive: Why I’m Mentoring a New Generation of Women – THISDAYLIVE, Lola Adeyemi, Founder and CEO at Mentoring Her - Businessday NG but i considered them to be interviews. For WP:BIO, she is a Nigerian cancer researcher that has presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and World Health Organization (WHO), has been recognized by Forbes, was awarded by Johns Hopkins University and a Special Advisor to the Minister of Education, Nigeria. I hope this helps. Ahola .O (talk) 14:59, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Fails WP:GNG due to a lack of independent, reliable sources supporting the subject's notability. A brief internet search reveals that most available sources are interviews or press releases, which are not considered reliable for establishing notability. Additionally, presentations at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) do not, on their own, confer notability.

This is just a lengthy plot summary and a neatly organized list of appearances in media. No reception/analysis. Publication history could be merged to List of Hellboy comics, since it is arguably better formatted. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:57, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this article is a candidate for deletion, but it does need to be refocus. It shouldn't be about the fictional organisation in the comics, but rather about the 140+ issue comics series, B.P.R.D. Hellboybookeeper (talk) 11:28, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That makes sense, but we still need sources to establish that series notability (reviews/analysis of or awards to the series as a whole). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:35, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of notability whatsoever. This article basically just says "this exists" without further clarification. Sources just state the administrative division of the place and the location, not much more JekyllTheFabulous (talk) 06:26, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looking up the Anglicizations was a nightmare, produced at least one Anglicization that we did not have which in turn had a lot of false positives, and only yielded prose-free gazetteers with map coördinates, several different ones. Looking up the Persian name showed promise at one point, until it turned out to be a place in Iraq. This is a permanent substub, sourced to a dead spreadsheet, about which we can barely write verifiable prose at all. Uncle G (talk) 18:26, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Openstreetmap takes you directly to a small town at the end of a road which shares a Persian name with the Persian link for Qezeljeh. If we can locate that census, this would pass WP:NGEO. SportingFlyer T·C 03:20, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep I can only verify this to Google Maps and Openstreetmap, but there is clearly a populated place at the point on the map using satellite photos. Google seems to think it's Anglicanized to Qezelje when you click on the addresses of one of the gardens in the photo. Still needs more work, though.

In my WP:BEFORE all I found was either database entries and reviews on blogs (mainly wordpress). The same, seemingly, goes for the sources in the .de version of the article. I therefore don't believe that this meets WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 13:22, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SUBNOT. There is no indication from the article that this person is notable. Aneirinn (talk) 07:24, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. What would be the benefit to anyone in deleting this information? He was noted in an apparently legitimate book about famous pipers, so is notable. Station1 (talk) 08:03, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • What benefit does it provide in its current state? There is no notion of any notability in the article. This person being mentioned in only one "apparently legitimate book about famous pipers" does not establish grounds for notability. See WP:GNG. Aneirinn (talk) 09:50, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, Military, Ireland, and New York. WCQuidditch 10:43, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • We have exactly one source, which is indeed an on-point biography. But there appears to be no supporting sourcing available from anywhere else, at least that I can find; certainly none are being proffered in the article. The notability threshold that it is easy to exceed with truly notable historical figures is multiple sources. That way details can be cross-checked, and gaps can be filled. I am awash with search matches to things that contain lots of people named John, Moore, and Piper in some way. But all attempts to trim the noise in various ways have revealed nothing at all. Uncle G (talk) 11:22, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • The indication that he's notable come from the fact he had a biography written about him by a notable academic nearly twenty years after his death; the average musician that passes the GNG isn't going to get that. There's most likely going to be offline sourcing, but given how common the subject's name is... good luck finding it. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 11:53, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. A single 400-word biographical summary (in a directory-style work seemingly covering almost every professional piper of the era) doesn't meet WP:SIGCOV. As with other contributors to this AfD, I can find no other substantial sources. (This piece on galwaysown.ie is a passing mention which seems to be based on either this Wikipedia article and/or the earlier O'Neill source. Book and journal searches only returns other versions of the 1913 O'Neill source). Per WP:NRV, notability is based on the verifiable existence of significant coverage in multiple independent sources - not merely that there might/could be other sources (that exist only in potentia...). If this were a modern professional musician, who was covered in 400 words in a single source, we wouldn't even be talking about it.... Guliolopez (talk) 12:31, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Besides being a "piper of good repute" we have nothing else that talks about this person. We don't even know most of their life, where they were born. Travelled on a boat, went home and died at sea, is about the extent of the article. Zero claim at notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:36, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

The article is based on personal imagination and appears to be original research. The concept of "Pan-Iranian colors" does not exist, and no academic sources support this idea. The sources cited in the article discuss only the modern and historical flags of the country of Iran, which have no connection to other groups considered Iranian due to their language.

  • Delete unless an editor can furnish evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of Tohi. Persian BBC did discuss his music but evaluating whether or not that coverage was significant would require analysis by a Persian/Farsi speaker. I suspect that this was a brief introduction to playing a bit of his music. Since he now lives in Los Angeles, English coverage might be expected, but all I found was one highly promotional non-independent item obviously generated by a press release or public relations activity.

Insignificant 1-2 day WP:ROUTINE operations, one of thousands of non-notable military operations. Almost 20 years later, no WP:SIGCOV indicating a failure of WP:LASTING. Only coverage may be simple listings of the operations in directories or from sources published by the U.S. military that are not thus independent, and not qualifying WP:RS to establish WP:GNG.
