Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Journalism

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Journalism. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Journalism|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Journalism. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

ARV Loshan Sports

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

A duplicate exists at Draft:ARV Loshan Sports already. I can't find any independent, reliable sources discussing ARV Loshan Sports and the article creator appears to have a strong COI. The YouTube channel has a reasonable subscriber count but it needs significant coverage from independent sources to be considered notable enough for Wikipedia. No evidence of a WP:GNG pass. I've reviewed the newly added references and none of them demonstrate notability. The 'example.com' reference doesn't even work. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 16:31, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the Tamil Media Weekly source doesn't work for me. It tries to take me to arvloshan.com, which doesn't exist as a domain. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 16:46, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – ARV Loshan Sports is a notable Tamil-language sports media platform, widely followed in the Tamil-speaking community, especially among Sri Lankan and Indian sports fans. It has been operating for over 5 years, and its founder Ragupathy Vaamalosanan is a veteran media personality with more than 30 years in radio broadcasting. The platform is regularly cited in independent sports news reports and has gained recognition through social media and regional media outlets.

I have added reliable sources to the article, including coverage in facebook and instagram mostly youtube. The subject passes Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines due to significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Niroshanraja (talk) 18:17, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are not independent sources. They are user-generated content. If you can provide reliable news sources discussing ARV Loshan Sports in detail then I'll reconsider. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:26, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:GNG - social media channels, such as Facebook and YouTube, are not considered reliable sources. The Tamil news link is broken, so can't be considered, and the ARV Loshan Sports website is a primary source (not independent) if the link was working.

The person mentioned in the article is actually its own author! This constitutes a clear conflict of interest. Furthermore, the person presented as a representative is virtually unknown in the Palestinian territories. The article violates all standards. The author is attempting to create an article about himself in various versions of Wikipedia, but he does not meet the notability criteria. — Osama Eid ^(talk) 10:16, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It may be an autobiographyt but that is actually allowed, as long as it has been submitted to WP:AFC. Easliy passes WP:GNG though could do with some clean up. Theroadislong (talk) 10:25, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the page can be tagged with a maintenance template regarding COI, but the person is definitely notable, whether or not they wrote it themselves. It's written in a neutral tone, and from the oldest revision, appears to have been translated by the page creator from another wiki, so the content may have actually been written by various other people. Anyway, the subject is notable because of his arrest leading to mass protests (see this report, which is sourced in the article), media pressure leading to a conditional release, and being the director of several noteworthy TV shows. jolielover♥talk 10:27, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Autobiographical article, emergency level conflict of interest. Seeing how the author of the article created an article with the same structure and content on many wikis at once, it is strongly suspected that this is an attempt at character promotion (or more accurately, self-promotion). See WP:YOU.
Absolute Strong Keep Per @Theroadislong, an autobiography article, no matter the potential WP:ACTUALCOI or whatever, is okay to make as long as it has many sources (WP:RS), is neatly written, and NPOV. This is also a very useful new knowledge for me. Thank you. ▪︎ Fazoffic _{( ʖ╎ᓵᔑ∷ᔑ)} 11:28, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't the person unquestionably notable? If not for the arrests, surely as an actor/director for several TV shows. jolielover♥talk 11:30, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:AUTO has replied to your comment. This is not encouraged at all on Wikipedia, even if they try to be neutral. Paid contributors are still better than creating articles by hand. ▪︎ Fazoffic _{( ʖ╎ᓵᔑ∷ᔑ)} 11:33, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jolielover I suggest you read Wikipedia:AUTO#The problem with autobiographies and Wikipedia:AUTO#Creating an article about yourself Badak Jawa (talk) 11:35, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete @Jolielover But making an autobiography on Wikipedia itself is prohibited, even if the subject is worthy. A figure on Wikipedia must be created by someone else, and must not be created by the person himself so that the contents of the article are more reliable and accurate, without any suspicion of adding spices, self promotion, also paid contributor. Serigala Sumatera (talk) 11:38, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
From my inclusionist point of view, I think there ought to be a community revision so as to check and assure the netrality of the article and to add additional information regarding the opposing view of Thaher, to make it more neutral. Because structure-wise, it is pretty decent. Your thoughts, @Jolielover? ANNAFscience (talk) 11:44, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Serigala Sumatera That is absolutely incorrect, creating autobiographies is discouraged but NOT prohibited. Theroadislong (talk) 12:15, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Theroadislong And do you know if the autobiography article has many problems? Have you read Wikipedia:AUTO#Creating an article about Yourself? Badak Jawa (talk) 12:29, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
yes of course I have... and it states " submit a draft to at Articles for Creation (AfC) instead of creating an article directly." which is what happened here. Look [1] Theroadislong (talk) 12:46, 4 May 2025 (UTC) Theroadislong (talk) 12:31, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Theroadislong: So, making an autobiography article on enwiki is okay as long as it is written neutrally, neatly, has many references, and through AfC? Wow, this is very good news. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. ▪︎ Fazoffic _{( ʖ╎ᓵᔑ∷ᔑ)} 12:49, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, yes, basically. WP:AUTO says If you really think that you can meet the inclusion criteria, and if you are willing to accept that your article must be neutral and non-promotional, then submit a draft to at Articles for Creation (AfC) instead of creating an article directly. AfC provides independent viewpoints that may uncover or discover biases you were unaware of, and shows you value volunteer editors' time. The thing is: this article did go through the AfC process (see here), making any argument for deletion irrelevant since policy explicitly states that autobiographies can be submitted and be approved through this process. jolielover♥talk 13:26, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Remind

The author of the article has created or edited all versions of other projects, which is generally considered cross-wiki spam.--— Osama Eid ^(talk) 13:23, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that the user translated this page from an original article in the Arabic Wikipedia, and the original Arabic page that contains most of the information was written and created by someone else about 11 years ago. It is not the same user, so he didn't write that article about himself. It is also noted that the person who is featured in the article is famous and has extensive work and presence on international websites and databases, and his biography is full of notable events, which are supported by many references. He is a candidate to still be on Wikipedia, from my point of view. 85.113.115.249 (talk) 21:12, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since your title references the Palestinian territories, and given that I suspect you may be the same individual, allow me to clarify a few points regarding this matter.

The same person has previously attempted to contact several editors of the Arabic Wikipedia, requesting that they write about him and later edit his article. He even admitted that some news websites wrote about him after reaching a prior agreement with him.

Furthermore, how can this person be classified as notable or well-known in the Palestinian territories?

He is not recognized in the Palestinian community — this is evident from the extremely low search interest in his name. He also has no followers on social media, nor any noticeable engagement or content presence online.

So how can such a person be considered notable or prominent in the Palestinian territories? — Osama Eid ^(talk) 04:44, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

...because there is established SIGCOV of him? A report and several news articles concerning his arrest, or his TV shows/films? The number of followers he has is irrelevant. jolielover♥talk 05:03, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since the following information refers to reliable, independent sources such as local media, as well as international media outlets such as the Voice of America, Radio Liberty, Germany's Frankfurter Rundschau, and reports from international foundations such as the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, this person fully and comprehensively meets the criteria for an encyclopedic person. As is also stated in Wikipedia's notability criteria:

“When using a search engine to help establish the notability of a topic, evaluate the quality, not the quantity, of the search results and linked webpages.”

Wikipedia's criteria for not being notable state that if a person is notable because of their role in one event, it is uncertain whether they are an encyclopedic figure or not:

“When an individual is significant for their role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both. In considering whether to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and of the individual's role within it should both be considered. The general rule is to cover the event, not the person. However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified.”

However, Shahriyar Majidzade has been active in many social and political fields since 2011 and continues his activities today. The following criteria confirm the notability of his journalistic work:

This guideline applies to authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, and other creative professionals. Such a person is notable if:

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)

Wikipedia's goal is to benefit readers by providing information on all branches of knowledge. An “encyclopedic person” is not a title. Treating it as a title can be considered an expression of a one-sided and biased position. Wikipedia's rules and principles clearly indicate that it is a "knowledge-sharing" platform, not a "title-granting" one. Being included in the encyclopedia means collecting information about that person's notable public and political activities in one place and making this information, along with citations, easily and comprehensively accessible to anyone who wants to access information. This is also in line with the principle of "Free content that anyone can use", which is one of Wikipedia's five pillars.

No detailed search was conducted, no correction was suggested, no justification was requested, and no specific criteria for deletion were specified in the request for deletion of this article. Wikipedia's criteria for a candidate for a request for deletion and speedy deletion are as follows:

If no criterion can be met for either a standalone article or inclusion in a more general article, and improvements have not worked or cannot be reasonably tried, then three deletion procedures can be considered.

Shahriyar Majidzade's social and political activities are as follows:

In 2011, he founded the newspaper “Etatist” and is the author of many research articles published in this newspaper: (REFERENCE 1 - MUSAVAT.COM )

In 2018, the National Idea Center ceased its activities due to pressure, and Shahriyar Majidzade continued his work at Kitabistan. Since then, Kitabistan began operating as a research center, not only publishing books but also organizing conferences for foreign experts in Azerbaijan and conducting interviews with foreign experts and ambassadors in the country.

User @1amroff left a message on my talk page with a request to look into this AfD case. That is highly unusual. He did the same with half a dozen other editors. I did not receive an email and was not requested to vote either way. I do read German easily so I looked into it and found some articles in Frankfurter Rundschau, here and here. There is also coverage by Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, for example here. Therefore I conclude that there is enough substantive, independent coverage to sustain the article.

I was also emailed by the user. Encoded Talk 💬 18:15, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Could we have some views from people who WEREN'T off-wiki canvassed?

Delete Yes there are a lot of refs that someone included in this AfD. But none of those refs seem to be reliable secondary sources. Citing "YouTube" repeatedly will not help your case. Angryapathy (talk) 19:59, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Azerbaijani service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the Azerbaijani service of the Voice of America, local media organizations, and the official websites of government agencies are all reliable secondary sources. I am adding some of them again for you. At the same time, I am also re-adding the link to the interview about the parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan published on the German-language fr.de, and the link to the reports published by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. Please feel free to check them.

Comment: Warning @Cafar Quluyev is obviously a sockpuppeteer of @1amroff. Yousiphh (talk) 09:40, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Instead of evaluating the issue on a personal basis, it is necessary to rely on the objective facts I have presented from reliable secondary sources, as has been clearly presented multiple times up to this point. I believe that the opposing side should be allowed to present facts, and the discussion should focus solely on completely objective, transparent, reliable secondary sources. Wikipedia allows everyone to substantiate their arguments. Cafar Quluyev (talk) 12:09, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cafar Quluyev Yes, everyone who edits and makes a significant contribution to Wikipedia, not you who registered yesterday and is editing this discussion today. Yousiphh (talk) 16:00, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
AfD is a place to discuss whether or not the subject has received significant coverage in reliable, neutral, independent, secondary sources that establish the subject as a notable living person suitable for Wikipedia. If you have an argument on this specific matter, please provide it. Let's stay on topic and not deviate to things like when and which account was created. Deviating from the core issue implies a lack of argument. If you find anything unreliable, non-neutral or primary in the sources I've provided, please state which source and why you suppose so. And please justify this based on the “reliability” and “sources” clauses of WP:NOTE guidelines, as well as the WP:RS guidelines. Cafar Quluyev (talk) 21:03, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
