Nori Bunasawa

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

The article seems to have started out as draft created by 110347nbtough in November 2020, who subsequently seemed to claim they were Bunasawa himself over on Wikimedia Commons here and here. The draft was then approved by DN27ND about a month later, even though the DN27ND account was only four days old and seems to have no experience as an WP:AFC reviewer. Moreover, DN27ND is an WP:SPA whose primary focus on English Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Japanese Wikipedia has been creating/editing content about Bunasawa; in other words, it seems that the account was specifically and only created for that purpose.

I wasn't sure about the subject's Wikipedia notablity per WP:BIO and asked about the article at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Martial arts#Nori Bunasawa. DN27ND was pinged into the discussion but never responded. It was then suggested on my user talk page that the article be nominated for deletion. I tried some more WP:BEFORE but found nothing resembling significant coverage. I also tried looking at the Japanese Wikipedia article ja:樗沢憲昭 and the Egyptian Arabic Wikiepdia article arz:نورى_بوناساوا but found nothing resembling significant coverage being cited in either of them. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:19, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Potential COI issues aside, the subject evidently seems to be a notable coach at Olympic and World Championship level, and for US colleges. Other pursuits as a magazine publisher/author and film consultant (?) would probably not rise to notability themselves, but the coverage for all three careers being mostly in 50+ year old newspapers – paired with the subject being otherwise covered by not only non-English, but non-Latin-alphabet, media – would be the AGF reason for fewer substantial sources (which is satisfactory here). The article could do with some clean-up, but from a glancing view I would also say it is not short on sources for its coverage, and that the coverage generally indicates notability. Kingsif (talk) 13:39, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Collapsing a large amount of bludgeoning content from an editor now pblocked from the discussion (as well as a smaller number of replies from other editors to the bludgeoning). Daniel (talk) 06:22, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no conflict of interest. I'm not getting paid by Bunasawa. In order to get leads on sources and information, we do have a working relationship (as a reporter would on their subject) where I could reach out and obtain information. I do have drafts of other judokas in the works but am working on securing their contact information in order to get additional leads to sources and information.

There are multiple sources online in various languages (English, Japanese, Russian, etc.) which indicates notability.

There are no COI issues and I sent him a draft on the article as a courtesy, in order to have a working relationship with him for leads on additional sources and for information regarding judo sports figures of which there will be wiki articles published in the future. DN27ND (talk) 05:03, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also advised Bunasawa and his newspaper/magazine publishing team to create a wikipedia account in order for them to release some of the photos that they own to wikimedia commons. DN27ND (talk) 05:57, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And that he is in the process of consulting with his lawyers based in the USA. DN27ND (talk) 06:02, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Being paid is not the only criterion for conflict of interest. See WP:EXTERNALREL. I think the fact that you have a working relationship with this person and especially that you showed the subject of the article a draft itself (presumably for feedback, considering you asked for leads on missing info) is concerning.

The tone in the article has issues with WP:WTW; "dream team", "talented group", "further his education" are unencyclopedic and lean towards WP:PUFFERY.

Whether or not there actually is a COI is debatable, but even the scent of one can ruin your credibility on Wikipedia. You really should be more cautious in future. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 09:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"dream team" is a common phrase that was originally used to describe the 1992 Basketball Olympic team which swept the competition, and then has been adapted by culture to apply to various sports and teams to mean a team that has won by a large margin over opponents. Given the context and the results of the 1969 World Judo Championships in Mexico city, (this only happed twice in the history of the sport) this is an appropriate phrase to use to describe the events.

The phrase is also used in other wikipedia articles

https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Human cloning&lang=en&q=1992_United_States_men%27s_Olympic_basketball_team

https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Human cloning&lang=en&q=United_States_men%27s_national_basketball_team#Dream_Team_II

https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Human cloning&lang=en&q=1996_United_States_men%27s_Olympic_basketball_team

https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Human cloning&lang=en&q=FIFA_World_Cup_Dream_Team

https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Human cloning&lang=en&q=Iran_men%27s_national_sitting_volleyball_team

and the list goes on:

https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Human cloning&lang=en&q=Dream_Team

Would it be puffery to describe the 1992 US Olympic dream team as "talented"? Or would it be appropriate to describe any other sports team as talented on wikipedia?

https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Human cloning&lang=en&q=1992_United_States_men%27s_Olympic_basketball_team

"Opposing teams were nonetheless overwhelmed by the talent of the American roster, losing by an average of 43.8 points per game"

https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Human cloning&lang=en&q=United_States_men%27s_national_basketball_team#Dream_Team_II

"The team assembled by USA Basketball for the tournament in Barcelona in 1992 was one of the most illustrious collections of talent assembled in the history of international sport"

https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Human cloning&lang=en&q=1996_United_States_men%27s_Olympic_basketball_team

"USA Basketball officials sought to construct the team dubbed Dream Team III (Dream Team II was the moniker of the lesser-known 1994 FIBA World Championship team) with a winning combination of veteran players from the 1992 Dream Team that won the gold medal in Barcelona and some of the league's best young talent."

"When the first ten players of the 1996 United States Men's national basketball team roster were announced in the summer of 1995, that young talent, and first-time Olympians, included the likes of Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Shaquille O'Neal, and Gary Payton"

Regarding the phrase "further his education", there are sources that Bunasawa attended these universities after receiving a bachelors degree. If that isn't further one's education, then what is?

Are you saying that journalists never show their subjects a draft to ensure the correct sequence of events?

Please advise. DN27ND (talk) 11:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We're not journalists. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. We're actually allowed to describe people as talented, but not in Wikipedia's voice per WP:NPOV. You have to attribute those kinds of opinions to notable people, like "journalist x described y as talented". 104.232.119.107 (talk) 13:25, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also "Dream Team" I can concede on, but other flowery wordings I'm relatively confident in. When you're already bordering on having a COI, you should be paranoid about writing stuff that borders on excessively flattering or flowery, but you're not doing adequate due diligence. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 13:29, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The selection of the word "talent" in that context was to summarize the accomplishments of those selected to be on the 1969 Japan World Judo team and in that particular year. How else would you summarize a collection of people that had multiple world titles, and had multiple Olympic gold medals? In retrospect, even most of the alternatives selected as backups went on to win world titles in subsequent championships. To choose the "talented" word, is this not appropriate considering the results that these players had?

Considering the results of sporting competitions, is it "flowery" to describe Lebron James, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, etc., as talented without having to say "journalist x described y as talented".?These sporting figures have won multiple world and Olympic titles in their respective sport.

At the end of the day, we are not journalist but the human aspect still applies. Courtesy and respect towards one's subject goes a long way. Just because a writer chooses to show courtesy and respect towards the subject he is writing about, it doesn't mean there is a COI.

If a person chooses to take more college courses after achieving a Bachelor's degree, how would you describe that if not "furthering his education" ? There is newspaper evidence that Bunasawa was taking more university level courses while simultaneously coaching the varsity judo team.

Could you give other examples of "flowery" wording from the article? DN27ND (talk) 18:21, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is also no "personal, religious, political, academic, legal, or financial" COI. It is common in journalism to keep good relationships (ie protection of anonymity of whistleblowers) with one's subjects/sources in order to further obtain information from them. There is precedence (especially in sports) of subjects denying access of information to journalists who may be rude, disrespectful, etc. Some of the information taken from newspaper sources, sports media sources (ie ESPN) require journalists to be able to contact sports figures for information. DN27ND (talk) 11:44, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per above, we're not journalists 104.232.119.107 (talk) 13:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We are not journalists. The info on wikipedia articles are not primary sources (birth certificates, actual signed contracts, actual college diplomas, identity cards, actual competition brackets etc). These are citations to newspapers and magazines, which are written by sports journalists or reporters. These are secondary and tertiary sources.

If wikipedia contributors are able to use primary sources, it would make writing these articles easier and actually more accurate (since I could just upload the proof)

Even though we are not journalist, having courtesy and respect towards one's subject could yield leads to information which would make summarizing events easier and more accurate. DN27ND (talk) 18:38, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since wikipedia contributors aren't allowed to upload primary sources, in essence we are using journalist's opinions (ie journalist from the NY times, OC register, People magazine, Asahi Shimbun, Wall Street Journal, etc) as sources of evidence. Do you think the vetting process to obtain a journalist / reporter pass from these companies is strenuous?

In essence, it would be way easier, "neutral", and encyclopedic if wikipedia contributers were able to use primary sources as evidence rather than secondary, or tertiary sources written by "experts" hired by these media companies. DN27ND (talk) 18:53, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Check out the results of the 1969 Judo World Championships

https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Human cloning&lang=en&q=1969_World_Judo_Championships

Is that not a podium sweep where one team had a decisive victory over the other teams? That is the time of only 2 times this has happened in the sports history. If the phrases "dream team" or "talented group" is not appropriate to describe the sporting results. Perhaps those words need to be censored from all other wikipedia articles about sports where these words have been used to describe competition results. DN27ND (talk) 12:42, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That 1969 World Judo team had multiple World and Olympic champions on them. In the sport of judo, the World Championships are regarded as a more difficult achievement than the Olympics due to their respective qualification processes. DN27ND (talk) 12:49, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been updating many articles on wikipedia regarding Korean poltics. Everyone knows about the history of the Japanese-Korean rivalry. This is not the thread to hold a grudge.

This is the article is for the sport of judo. You are biased and you have a political agenda. DN27ND (talk) 22:30, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are also many other newspaper and magazine articles that show Bunasawa's notability on the wikipedia article.

"Judo". Orange Network. 385: 7. April 2023.

I could scan these newspaper articles and send them to you. Or you can go into the library archives and look them up yourself. DN27ND (talk) 12:17, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice: I didn't question the person's notability. I'm questioning COI and your understanding of Wikipedia's editing style. These walls of text and excessive bolding are not necessary; I can read. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 13:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but the original poster (Marchjuly) did question notability and it is part of this page's discussion

"I wasn't sure about the subject's Wikipedia notablity per WP:BIO and asked about the article at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Martial arts#Nori Bunasawa. DN27ND was pinged into the discussion but never responded"

People have occupations, other obligations, and commenting on wikipedia doesn't pay the bills. I'm not sure if Marchjuly was expecting an immediate response or what? DN27ND (talk) 18:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're doubling down on the walls of text and bolding. I can read. I'm still confident in what I said, will not engage anymore. Good luck. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 23:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whether the "working relationship" described by DN27ND consitutes a conflict (at least in regard to Wikipedia editing) per WP:COI is porbably something that needs to be further discussed at WP:COIN. I will start a discusison about it sometime within the next few days. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:42, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't scan any newspaper articles and then upload them to either Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons because doing so is likely going to be considered a copyright violation. Please also don't reproduce verbatim any of these sources are any Wikipedia page, except perhaps as short and properly attributed quotes in accordance with MOS:QUOTE because that too will almost certainly be considered a copyright violation. If you can find these sources online somewhere (perhaps a site like Newspapers.com), you can perhaps posts links them as long as there are no WP:COPYLINK issues. You can also summarize these sources in your own words at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Nori Bunasawa (the link is WP:RED because the page doesn't exist yet). I will ask at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request to see whether anyone might be able to find the Orange County Register, Indiana Evening Gazette, Orange Network and Rogers Daily News articles and provide either a link or an assessment of them. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:55, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the sources that are online, I've already linked them to the page.

'''Orange County Register, Indiana Evening Gazette, Orange Network and Rogers Daily News'''

These sources are not online and some of the Japanese sources are not online either. I received them as newspaper clippings. The dates and issues are included. You could try to call the local libraries in those counties and can talk to the librarian about sending you those papers.

Orange County Register has a webpage. Perhaps they might have online achieves. I have photographs of the newspaper clippings.

The Indiana Evening Gazette has online achieves. I have not looked at it because I have access to the scanned newspaper clippings.

The Orange Network is associated with the Orange County Japanese American Association. You can give them a call or search their website to see if they keep their old issues on pdf.

Rogers Daily News is the local paper from Rogers, Ark. that was published from 1927-1981. You can try to call the local library in that city, perhaps they have archives

I have them as clippings, scans, and photos taken by a camera phone.

There are actually much more newspaper articles that were written about Bunasawa in the newspapers, such as a time one of his teen students used judo in self defense against an assault, and many much more. Just because some of the sources are from 25 to 35 years ago, and before the time of the internet, doesn't make Bunasawa a less "notable" sport and martial arts figure.

The information is all there if you want to do the research and look hard enough. Also finding people (through connections) who have saved these newspaper clippings, especially for people who existed before the internet does wonders when writing up a biography.

Have fun on your search DN27ND (talk) 18:18, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are also a few other english language papers in California stating that Bunasawa was a pre-medical student while coaching Judo. I haven't included all the sources and kept it general via "furthering his education" as some papers cited stated that he was a uni student in the USA.

If its THAT important to you, you can call Bunsawa's assistants to see if you can obtain his university diploma at Waseda University, then cross reference the dates of the newspaper sources that stated that he was a student in the USA, then voilà, you have inferred that he "furthered his education"

You can look in the biographical section of his book as well

Bunasawa, Nori; Murray, John (2007). The Toughest Man Who Ever Lived. Nevada: Innovations, Inc. and Judo Journal. p. 299. ISBN 978-0-9648984-1-7. DN27ND (talk) 18:27, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DN27ND, to be blunt, no one is going to read through all of this confusing content you posted, it's overwhelming. You need to be concise. There are a lot of AFDs to look through and this is just one.

I have added the following source assessment table for many of the additional sources cited above by DN27ND. It doesn't cover all of the sources DN27ND mentioned, but I'll keep searching online for links for those not in the table. I used Google translate for the one Russian source since I don't understand Russian, but am able to read the Japanese sources unassisted. The assessments are mine and I tried to give detailed explanations as to the reasons why I made them. The table's last column "Count source toward GNG?" is an assessment done by the table itself. An explanation of it's computed can be found at Template:Source assess#"Overall" assessment.

It's published in Japanese and its target audience is most likely Japanese-Americans, Japanese nationals or other Japanese speakers living/working in the area. The April 2023 issue in which the the article "Judo" is supposed to appear isn't available any longer on the OCJAA website, but the cover can be seen here.

Hard to assess whether the article is sigcov, but from looking at some recent issues still available online like july 2024, June 2024, May 2024 and April 2024, the "magazine" appears to be mainly advertisements and event listing with a few stories/interviews thrown in. There's a good chance the "Judo" article was an part interview and part general interest piece that had some biographical information about Bunasawa but nothing resembling the sigcov to help establish Wikipedia notability.	?

Lean delete per table above, unless it is updated with other sources. The COI is a contributing factor. DN27ND, please do not try to convince me otherwise of COI, you had several essays worth of space to do so and you have not yet. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 20:54, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More bludgeoning (again, with a smaller number of brief contributions by others to said bludgeoning). Daniel (talk) 06:22, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who are you and what are your qualifications? The wikipedia article created on Bunasawa is very well sourced. If there is doubt, the onus is on you to do your research. The Bunasawa is way more sourced than many articles on wikipedia. Regarding the table, there are no requirements for contributors to make one. You and people who doubt the authenticity or notability should make one. This is a blatant attempt of censorship. DN27ND (talk) 23:26, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't an attempt at censorship, it's an attempt at determining whether or not the article belongs on Wikipedia by judging it against Wikipedia policy. Or do you believe that there's a reason why some kind of non policy-related conspiracy might lead to the article being deleted? Axad12 (talk) 15:47, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In essence, Bunasawa is a US coach involved in both domestic and international competitions and he's involved in the movie business. There is a combination of both sources from minor websites, the bio section of the novel he co-authored, and to legitimate local newspapers. If there are disagreements regarding the style or to a source given, you are free to edit the Bunasawa article, it's public.

To delete it completely is censorship. DN27ND (talk) 12:09, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel a section is not properly sourced, then add a [citation needed] tag. If you feel that there are COI, then add the COI notification label. Like I said, to delete the article completely without checking all the sources to see if there is truth in what is written, is censorship. DN27ND (talk) 12:13, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The summary of what I'm saying is, do the fact-checking first, then decide whether or not to delete. DN27ND (talk) 12:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I could get clippings of (in a month or so)

"New Judo Instructor at 'Y' Here". Indiana Evening Gazette. February 21, 1975.

and I could post it to show Bunasawa was indeed a collegiate coach as well.

But what's to stop future editors from accusations without doing their research?

If 100 future editors all want these clippings, am I to post it 100 times in the future?

Those articles clearly state that Bunasawa was the US Judo World and Olympic coach at one point in his career DN27ND (talk) 02:59, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that the sources exist and are not fabricated. The Bunasawa article is extensively sourced. I'm not sure if they are online because these are sources from the 1970s and 1980s.

There are records from newspapers indicating that he was a Judo coach for the US team and for collegiate teams in the 1970s. They aren't online but I have the clippings. DN27ND (talk) 03:07, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete on the basis that this discussion [1] suggests that the subject doesn't meet WP:MANOTE. Also, the article was originally written by a user who has claimed on Commons to be the subject. User DN27ND is clearly closely associated with the subject, if they are not actually the subject, and at the very least is editing directly on behalf of the subject. His claims to be a journalist are clearly questionable, as journalists do not post the results of their work on Wikipedia. COI users, however, do. Axad12 (talk) 14.39, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Delete I appreciate the analysis done by Marchjuly. I had started to put together my own list, but he published first. I generally agree with his analysis. I didn't see anything that convinces me that there are multiple cases of significant independent coverage in reliable sources. Passing mentions, being named a judo instructor, martial arts rank, demonstrating techniques, and listings of results have never been considered sufficient to provide the coverage necessary to show WP notability. There is no evidence that he meets WP:SPORTBASIC which talks about having "success in a major international competition at the highest level." He didn't qualify for the Japanese team even though they were awarded two spots in each division. Being one of two team alternates in his division isn't enough, nor are high school or collegiate championships. I also don't see him meeting notability requirements as an author or actor. I would say he's a talented judoka, but that alone is not grounds for WP notability. Papaursa (talk) 16:15, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yet more bludgeoning along with a healthy dose of OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Daniel (talk) 06:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok... could you tell me how these wiki profiles are allowed to exist?

Tatsukuma Ushijima

Yosh Uchida

Yoshimi Osawa

and etc. These guys never competed at an international level but have had involvement in the sport in multiple ways, either through promotions, winning national titles, and coaching.

I've included citations in the article and Marchjuly's chart showing evidence of Bunasawa as the US Olympic and World team coach. The bits about what he Bunasawa has won in high school, and the collegiate level, were included to show his development as a sportsman, and how he acquired those skills, his exposure to World and Olympic level players, as part of his development towards becoming a Judo coach.

Take a look at Ryoko Tani's biography under "selection controversy"

"Tani lost the 2007 All-Japan Weight Class Judo Championship, which doubles as the qualifier for Olympics and the World Championships on those years when the events take place, but was selected as Japan's representative anyway by the All Japan Judo Federation (AJJF)."

Bunasawa was not selected in either of the 2 spots for the 1969 Mexico World Championships, but if you check out Kono's results (who was selected with Minatoya) he was eliminated at that same national championships in 1969 in the first round by Matsuda (and there is citation and evidence of this). The AJJF's selection of Kono rather than Bunasawa, Matsuda, or even Yamazaki (who was the Asian champion) was controversal considering Kono's competition resume and results.

The judo profiles on wikipedia Japan often lists a player's past competitions and details of their results. Yes you are right, Bunasawa never competed at an international level, but he is an international level coach (this is documented). DN27ND (talk) 16:46, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You've been warned to stop these walls of text and bolding. If I was you I'd give it a break.

Also, arguing that other stuff exists which may be as bad as (or worse than) this article isn't a legitimate argument for this article not to be deleted, it's only an argument that those articles may need to be be deleted too.

Could I ask you a question though? Can you clarify the circumstances which led to you opening an account on Wikipedia and then, as one of your very first edits, approving an article which you presumably were aware had been written by the subject of the article, with whom you had presumably already had contact. Did it not strike you that there may have been some conflict of interest there? Axad12 (talk) 17:02, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote the article and sent it to Bunasawa's team. They might have thought I wanted them to post it? But that wasn't my intention of sending them the draft. I was hoping they look through the dates and make sure everything was in chronological order. I do research the sport and history of Judo extensively and was planning to create other Judo biographies of figures that do not currently have a wikipedia but I think are notable in the sport. That is my intention of creating a wikipedia account. I have another biography in the works, which will probably be released at the end of 2024 or early 2025.

No it did not strike me as a COI. I wrote the article draft and sent it to the Bunasawa team. They provided me leads on info and additional newspaper clippings. If I didnt reach out to their team, I woudnt have gotten all those newspaper clippings. DN27ND (talk) 17:23, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In which case you were approving an article which you actually wrote yourself, but which someone else had posted on Wikipedia after you sent it to them? Axad12 (talk) 17:32, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I wrote that. I send the draft to the Bunasawa team with the intention that they verify the dates and chronology of the article. I am not Nori Bunasawa. I have news that he is currently in the USA and I'm in another country. DN27ND (talk) 11:52, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is context to this. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, If you were a top national player in Japan, that was equivalent to being a World level player. The reason being is because the sheer number of competitors in Japan, and the developmental system of Judo in Japan (the birthplace of Judo). Being a top player in Japan at that time meant being top 3 in the world if you were selected by AJJF to compete and represent internationally.

This is a reason that he was appointed as the US Judo coach in 1972 Olympic in Munich and 1975 World Championships in Vienna. Which is to elevate the level of those teams.

I don't think its a stretch to say that the USA is not a strong judo nation. They have a few World champions and Olympic medalists, but not that much when compared to Japan, Korea, Brazil, France, etc.

The inclusion of his competitions at a high school and collegiate level was giving background to his future pursuits.

If you really knew the world of judo then you would know that there are different levels. Japanese high school students champions can often beat USA Judo Olympians. And most standout former Japanese Judo collegiate players would certainly beat many ordinary USA judo olympians. This is the purpose of the mentioning of his All Japan Silver medal accomplishment. When you talk about All Japan Medalists in those days, they would usually dominate the opposition if they were sent to compete by the All Japan Judo Federation (AJJF).

I mean, do you know what the senior 2 division is? The IBJJF, like the IJF, creates many divisions where older athletes could compete. These competitions do not result in points toward qualification for World or the Olympics games. Its not the most competitive divisions by any stretch of the imagination. Other than that, it looks like Tim Cartmell was prolific writer.

Also, this is beyond the scope of the article and special interest, but if you do your research, the All Japan National Judo Championships is a much much more difficult competition to qualify for and to win than the US Open of Judo, of which you don't have to qualify for. You can just sign up and compete at the US Open of Judo (no joke). DN27ND (talk) 17:26, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For many international competitions at less developed judo nations (ie US Judo Open, Australian Judo Open, etc). There is no qualification processes. You can simply sign up and compete.

At many IBJJF events, you can simply sign up and compete (especially at senior 2, 3, etc. aka the old men divisions) there are no qualification process where you have to win a prior tournament to enter the present tournament. DN27ND (talk) 17:32, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Papaursa, you were editing Tim Cartmell's wikipedia article. Do you really think the IBJJF Pan Championship as a brown belt (Senior 2) and black belt (Senior 2) divisions are legitimate competitive divisions? The IBJJF classifies those divisions are for 56 to 60 years old players. That is the grandfather division. The brackets of these divisions have small numbers of participants. Those divisions were created for older hobbyist jiujitsu players who are well past their physical prime, to compete in so that the IBJJF could collect tournament fees. Most of these older jiujitsu players use the senior 2 division (which means past one's physical prime division) as an opportunity to travel to south America and enjoy the local festivities. Its also very fun for those athletes in the senior 2 division to have their grandkids come out to cheer them on as well.

If you really think the past one's physical prime division (aka senior 2 division) is a competitive international division which makes a person wikipedia notable, then I have some snake oil to sell you. DN27ND (talk) 22:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DN27ND, I suggest you look at WP:OTHERSTUFF. The notability of other articles has no bearing on the WP notability of this article. If you feel those articles about about non-notable subjects, you are welcome to put them up for deletion. If the U.S. head coach at the 1972 Olympics isn't notable, why would the technical coach be notable? I would also caution you about WP:BLUDGEON. I mention these other guidelines because the fact you haven't contributed to any other articles means you might not be aware of other relevant policies and guidelines. You should be aware that open events mean they are open to all (hence the name). They are often different from national championships, especially in sports that can only accommodate a limited number of competitors. For example, this year's U.S. Open in chess has over 300 competitors, but the U.S. championship invites the highest ranked 10 Americans (according to world rankings). Papaursa (talk) 17:53, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No prizes for guessing why this is being collapsed at this point. Daniel (talk) 06:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of the sign up procedures of the US open of chess or the US national chess championships. In judo, the open tournaments hosted in nations of lessor developed judo programs have lower turnouts, qualification processes, and to be frank, a lower talent pool. Just because an athlete competes internationally, doesn't mean they are notable in judo (which was one of the criteria mentioned above for a requirement of notability.

Why wouldn't an Olympic coach be notable? Are collegiate coaches notable?

Check out

Dan Hurley

He's a notable collegiate basketball coach, and his article lists that he coached at a high school level.

Is coaching at a high school level notable? Or is this info included to illustrate the progression of his career?

I'm not making an argument that the subject in the other articles aren't notable. What I'm saying is that they are notable. Movie stars, coaches, pioneers of the sport, they are notable in their own way. That's your opinion that they aren't notable.

I may think that a certain chess player is not notable. But I know nothing of chess, and I would have an uneducated opinion. In that case, I wouldn't vote because I wouldn't be able to tell whether that chess player is notable or not, I would defer to the chess fans, followers and experts.

In Bunasawa's case, not only is he a notable judo coach by coaching 3 levels (Olympic, World, Collegiate), but also an author that is having his book adapted by a major production company. "Dead or Alive" is connected both Bunasawa and Jose Padilla. DN27ND (talk) 18:57, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why would I trust a judo expert to vote whether a chess expert is notable or not and vice versa? Perhaps if it were a vote amongst members of the USA judo community, I would view that as more legitimate than a vote of an uninformed mob DN27ND (talk) 18:59, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So you view the AfD process as akin to an uninformed mob?

The problem is your lack of understanding of Wikipedia policies like conflict of interest, reliable sources, notability, etc. etc. Those policies exist so that things can be dealt with objectively, rather than just using your opinions on those topics, which seem to be very much at odds with policy if your comments here are anything to go by. Axad12 (talk) 19:28, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm informed about COI, reliable sources, and notability. I can see why readers suspect COI, but it is what it is. If I did not have contact with the subject and his team, I wouldn't have gain access to information and the newspaper clippings and there would be no article. So put a COI disclaimer on the article.

I'm aware what reliable sources are. The article contains a mix of both reliable sources and sources that are potentially less reliable. For evidence of the subject's role as a US judo coach at the Olympic, World, and collegiate level, those are very reliable sources. For evidence of his involvement in the movie industry and upcoming project, those are semi-reliable and inferences were made (ie José Padilha is involved in the Mitsuyo Maeda movie "Dead or Alive", Bunasawa is involved in the Mitsuyo Maeda movie "Dead or Alive", Bunasawa co-authored a book on Mitsuyo Maeda therefore, his book is being adapted to a movie by a major production company (Stampede productions), which was also stated on Judoinside.com). I could ask Bunasawa and his team to take a picture of his contract and post it on wikimedia commons and there is a good chance they could do that. The contract would be considered a primary source and I regard that has having greater integrity than secondary sources. But I'm not sure if this is allowed.

Whether or not Judoinside.com is a reliable source is debatable. It's a website that is supposed to have accurate judo competition records and biographies. Can it make mistakes? Absolutely. "Reliable sources" like the New York Times also make mistakes on reports. I would say judoinside.com could perhaps be classified as semi-reliable. The point is, through my contact with Bunasawa, I was informed that he signed a contract with the production company. When I tried to search this online, Judoinside.com was the only source of information which verified this.

In terms of notability, Judo has grown into a large global Olympic sport since the 1960s. Judo became an Olympic sport in 1964, and around the time the subject of this article entered college as a freshman. This individual was operating within the judo world since the beginning of the institution of weight classes to development of international competitions. He is part of the history of the sport.

The other information such as him founding a martial art, his involvement with his newspaper company comes from his book and his newspapers. In terms of notability of the book and the newspaper, you would have to assess it by sales, circulation and whether it is used as a citation on other papers. I heard the book did very good sales numbers on the google bookstore and on Amazon.

In terms of his fighting records, those are from newspaper clippings from Japanese sports newspapers such as Nippon Judo Shimbun, and The Judo Shimbun. The inclusion of his national japan fighting record is to give some context to his coaching involvement in the USA. That competition is well respected in the Judo world in the around the time of the 1960s. So to judge notability, knowledge of historical context of the sport is required.

So yes, if you don't have knowledge of the historical context of the sport, it is akin to an uninformed mob voting on a subject of which they have no information about.

When writing this article, I was thinking about how the English reader could understand the article without me actually writing and explaining the historical situation of the sport in a biographical article. I still haven't figured it out, but I have included some sources such as Leitner, Katrin (2011). "The Japanese Corporate Sports System: a Unique style of Sports Promotion". Vienna Journal of East Asian Studies. 2: 27–54. doi:10.2478/vjeas-2011-0008 – via Researchgate which includes the history for interested readers. DN27ND (talk) 17:28, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On the sport of judo and notability in judo. Let's get real and we'll use judo in the USA as an example. There are a lot of international competitors that the US puts out that I would call no-hopers. The majority of US judo athletes get eliminated in the first round at major international tournaments. If they get a lucky bracket, maybe they will get eliminated in the 2nd round. If you are in the sport long enough, at some of the less competitive tournaments (like the Pan-Americans, most of US athletes might win Bronze or Silver). Some of these athletes market themselves, try to get endorsements to cover their travel and competition expenses, but really use it as a vacation. To travel the world on their own dime or their sponsor's dime, but in actually, they are the no-hopers (they wont medal in the Olympics or World championships). There are exceptions to the rule, (Jimmy Pedro, Mike Swain, Kayla Harrison, Kevin Asano, etc) but the exceptions are rare.

A player who medals in the All Japan Championships in the 1960s and the 1970s, if they get selected by the AJJF to compete in the Olympics or the Worlds, it is almost a certainty that they will get a onto the podium to get a medal (there are exceptions to the rule, but it is a huge chance they will medal). Since this is the reality of Judo, then you will understand why Bunasawa is a notable US coach and why I included the details of his 1969 All Japan National Judo tournament in his bio. And trust me, Bunasawa is a lot more notable than the US judo athletes that have been on the international circuit post-2016 Rio Olympics. There's a lot of no-hopers on the US judo team post-2016 Rio Olympics that are a lot less notable than Bunasawa.

If you are informed about the sport of judo in the USA, you would know this. DN27ND (talk) 17:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Read WP:BLUDGEON. And then post the links to the articles you think work towards WP:GNG. Anything else is just wasting your own time and other people's. Axad12 (talk) 18:46, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also since this is the format, for non-judo people to vote on notability. Perhaps research on judo as a sport in the late 1960s. The only international events at that time for the sport of were either the World Championships or the Olympic games. Meaning there were literally no other international events in 1969. If the AJJF did not select you, other international competitions were not available. Today in modern times, there is a saturation of international events in judo. But that doesnt mean an international judo player is notable.

In the 1960s, if you at the top of Japan Judo. You were very notable in the judo world. DN27ND (talk) 19:04, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Papaursa, I suggest you look up the senior 2 division of the IBJJF before editing Tim Cartmell's wikipedia article. It's a division for 56-60 year olds. Grandkids love coming out to cheer for their grandpas in those divisions. Are you saying competitors in this BJJ division (which is not an Olympic sport) are more notable than an Olympic level coach? Please clarify DN27ND (talk) 22:33, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/Question I've stopped trying to read through the avalanche of text by DN27ND. Am I wrong or are both of the keep votes from him? Papaursa (talk) 00:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed two entries from the source assessment table that were added by added by DN27ND, on the basis that the source assessment table above is clearly marked "prepared by User:Marchjuly" and so it is misleading to add source analysis that is not actually prepared by Marchjuly. DN27ND is free to re-add this analysis separately if it is clearly indicated with who it's coming from. DanCherek (talk) 01:41, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There were users who wanted me to add to the table. I shouldnt have to do Marchjuly's homework, but ok I'll entertain him. I posted 2 of the relevant photographs of newspaper clippings rather than add those sources to his table list before its deletion, he choose to hide them before deletion. This is censorship of sourced information and of sources. DN27ND (talk) 03:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be useful to have some input from Marchjuly and Papaursa on whether the two sources in the table below genuinely count towards satisfying WP:GNG. My understanding of previous comments in this thread is that references to someone having been a coach do not confer notability.

Personally I'm very reluctant to take the word of an editor who has admitted to having approved a draft that they had themselves authored, in clear contravention of policy, and who seems to be very unfamiliar with broader policy here. Not to mention, of course, the fact that they have a conflict of interest but have yet to declare it on their user page. Axad12 (talk) 04:24, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with this. I think it's possible the subject of the article is notable, but the draft creation and approval process is so suspect that I don't think we should keep the article up. It sets a bad precedent. If someone really wants this article back, then they can recreate in future, without a COI and without this extreme belligerence. The conduct from DN27ND in this thread has been unacceptable. Throwing around accusations of censorship, walls of text, poor understanding of Wikipedia policy and refusal to learn the policy, refusal to adjust the POV language. It just keeps going.

I already voted above, but we should delete the article. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 05:16, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Collapsing per the inappropriate commentary and line of questioning. Daniel (talk) 06:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My conduct is unacceptable to you? What are your qualifications?

Perhaps you should clean up the article? I contributed to the article using language that is in common usage in North America. The selection of the wording is appropriate to give the information in a relatively terse manner. DN27ND (talk) 05:27, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering, is North American english your first language? You dont have to answer if you don't want to DN27ND (talk) 05:28, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The issue raised directly above related to whether some of the language used was in accordance with WP:NPOV (as per discussions further up this thread), not whether it was good English. You really are doing yourself no favours by continually arguing, especially when so much of what you are saying is contrary to policy.

You've been asked now twice to knock off the WP:BLUDGEON. This discussion is about reaching a consensus on the right course of action, not for you to make the overwhelming majority of contributions saying things that no one else agrees with. Axad12 (talk) 06:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I posted above and in my edit summary, I "hid" the images per WP:TPG#Removing prohibited material because they were copyvios uploaded to Wikipedia Commons and were subsequently deleted as such by a Commons' administrator. DN27ND was advised not to do this, but went ahead and did so anyways. As I also posted above, I would've happily unhid the files if Commons would've kept them. DN27ND was also advised that they could post at c:COM:ANU#User:DN27ND and explain why the two uploads weren't copyvios. DN27ND can still request the undeletion of the files at c:COM:REFUND if they feel the files were wrongly deleted. If DN27ND thinks I censored them or otherwise did something else inappropriate by doing this, they're free to seek administrator assistance at WP:ANI; if hiding the files was wrong, an administrator will let me know and even possibly sanction me for it. A Wikipedia administrator can't restore the files, though, since they were uploaded to Commons (please don't misunderstand this as meaning it's OK to reupload them to locally to Wikipedia though) and need to restroed by a Commons administrator.

As for the source assessment table, DN27ND or anyone else re-assess the same sources I did or assess other yet-to-be assessed sources (with or without using a table), but it would be better to do so as their own separate post (maybe a brief assessment or table here on this AFD page and more further analysis on the AfD's talk page if needed my be a good idea). Others, however, really shouldn't be modifying my post to add their assessments to my table per WP:TPO because doing so makes it seems as if it's my assessment and not theirs; this is why DanCherek, who's a Wikipedia administrator, reverted DN27ND's edit to the table I created. If DN27ND feels DanCherek censored them by doing this, they're free to discuss things with Dan at User talk:DanCherek or seek other administrator assistance at WP:ANI. It's not a question of doing someone else's homework for them, but rather a question of misrepresenting what someone else has posted by modifying it in some way (i.e. putting your words into their mouth) without a really good Wikipedia policy based reason for doing so. If DN27ND and others mistakenly thought the table I created was for them to build on, then my apologies for not making it clear that it wasn't. Now, if anyone disagrees with my source analysis, they're of course free to post why; once again, though, they should do so in their own post and not insert their comments into the middle of one of mine. FWIW, I've added a signature to the post DN27ND made to create their source assessment table since it was missing one. I did this per WP:TPG#Attributing unsigned comments and didn't modify the post in any other way. If DN27ND wants to add some kind of introductory statement to the post, they can. They should also be able to expand the table with additional assessments if they want, but might want to follow WP:REDACT if they do, particularly if others have already commented on the assessments given in the table and posted below the table.

Finally, I've posted enough in this discussion already; others are more than capable of reading all that's been posted above (or what's yet to come) and making their own assessments regarding Bunasawa's Wikipedia notablity. DN27ND doesn't really need to convince me of this, but the WP:ONUS is on them to establish a WP:CONSENUS among others that Bunasawa is indeed Wikipedia notable. That's what the Wikipedia administrator who ultimately reviews the discussion will be looking for and assessing. I've no problem leaving things to that administrator and WP:CONSENUS. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to add this to my last post but forgot. A possible alternative to deletion might be to WP:DRAFTIFY so that it can continue to be worked on. I do think, however, that there should be a condition attached to this if that's what the consensus ends up being: the draft should be submitted for WP:AFC review and not moved back to the mainspace by either the article's creator, any other (new) account with an WP:APPARENTCOI, but might be able to skip AfC if assessed and moved by an account which is WP:AUTOPATROLLED or an established record of problem-free article creation. That's not a guarantee that the article won't or can't end up at AfD again, but it might address any COI concerns. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:31, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For why I advocate for deletion over draftify: I'm a bit uncomfortable with the likely COI's impact on the article's content. I think deleting would be cleaner.

If we do draftify, I'd prefer if the reviewer be informed about the conditions under which the article was created, and that the POV language gets toned down before approval. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 08:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bludgeoning. Daniel (talk) 06:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, you really don't know what you are talking about Sir. If you want to change the wording of "he was chosen as a part of a talented group (which included future Olympic champions in Toyokazu Nomura, Isamu Sonoda, and the national judo 'dream team' that eventually swept the competition at the 1969 World Judo Championships)" then by all means do it.

You can change "talented group" to "a group which included multiple World Champions, Olympic champions, and future world and olympic champions"

The point I was trying to make was in choosing the wording of "talented group" and "dream team", is that 1969 World team wasn't a normal team. If you have 2 world or Olympic champions on a team in a single year, that's already a rare event. The total gold medal count for both Worlds and Olympics of all individuals on that 1969 Japan team (and this is just gold) is around 13 gold medals!. I'll repeat that, If you add up all the Olympic and World golds of individuals on that 1969 Japan team, its around 13 gold medals. I could change the word "talented group" to a group that eventually had a total of 13 world and Olympic gold medals if you want me to. DN27ND (talk) 18:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this matter in a bio of a US coach? If you were part of the US Judo sporting committee, who would you rather choose as your judo coach? Adonis Diaz, Angelica Delgado, or someone that has been on a selected to be part of a team of a collective 13 World & Olympic judo gold medals?

Its not puffery, the wording was chosen to illustrate that point. DN27ND (talk) 18:24, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I could see why you would interpret it as flowery or puffery. But this is not the case if you understand the context. DN27ND (talk) 18:27, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's like comparing the bench player of the USA men's basketball team to the National basketball team in Fiji. Even 2nd or 3rd string players of the USA national basketball team could wipe out the 1st-string starters of the Fiji national basketball team

In this comparison, Japanese judo players who reach the All Japan National level are the equivalent (and even surpasses) 1st string starters in many many other countries where the judo program is less developed DN27ND (talk) 22:40, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For context, the developed and competitive judo nations currently include:

Japan, Korea, Brazil, Georgia, Mongolia, Russia, more eastern European nations, etc.

The US isn't one of the more competitive judo nations. DN27ND (talk) 22:42, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And for more context, in modern days, even 3rd string Japanese national judo players, or Korean players, or Brazilian players could take out the players that represent the US in the Olympics.

I'm not bias, check the competition results. DN27ND (talk) 22:45, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If I take out "dream team" and "talented group" and replace it with "the group that eventually won a total of more than 13 golds in the worlds and Olympics", would you stop complaining about language? DN27ND (talk) 18:39, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And also I'll be real with you. I'm American. I'm not partial to the Japanese judo team. I'm a fan of the sport of Judo. If the Russian team won all the golds in a sport I'm a fan of, I would use the same language, because this is sports history. If the Chinese or Iranian team were breaking records in sports history, I would still use the same language to describe a rare event. My contribution is not about nationalism. NBA player Bill Russell won an unprecedented 11 NBA championships. I don't think this will ever be replicated by another NBA all star. This is a record in sports history and I use words appropriate to the description.

You are contributing to a lot of wikipedia pages that are related to Korean culture and Korean history. There are some historical articles that you have edited that have been related to the Japanese-Korean war conflict. I think you are biased against my wording in regards to the Japanese team. If the Korean team had 13 total gold medals in a single team for a particular year, I would use the same language. Its not puffery or flowery, it's words that describe the magnitude of that accomplishment in sports history. DN27ND (talk) 19:28, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or I could post the sources, you can assess them and clean up the article. If its moved to the draftspace, people are going to lag on investigating the sources.

Your table consists of mostly sources that are available online and that's fine. It's what is readily available that's within a few clicks a mouse. The article created on Bunasawa includes many sources from the 1960s to 1980s. These sources are more difficult to obtain (it would take time to track them down, but they do exist). Perhaps track these sources down first so that the administrators can make an informed decision of notability and whether to keep the article or delete it? Right now they don't have access to all of the info. I'm volunteering to post the newspaper clippings, but due to copywrite issues, I cannot post them. I think look for and present all the info, so administrators then make an informed decision. DN27ND (talk) 07:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been trying to find sources at WP:RX#Nori Bunasawa sources, but haven't had many responses yet. Ultimately, though, the onus falls on you as explained in WP:SOURCESMUSTEXIST and WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES to provide information about such sources. They can be WP:OFFLINE, but again the onus falls upon you to convince others that they are what they say they are. You don't need to convince me if you or someone else can establish a consensus that they are. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:31, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sending individual emails of the sources. This would require great time commitment. I could post the sources on some agreed upon website, then everyone can have a link to go and view them. DN27ND (talk) 08:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are a lot of sources on various wikipedia articles. And many of them are not online by from various books or textbooks. Are the contributors required to post all of the sources they use to some website or to email them to wikipedia admin?

I could post these sources as a courtesy, but If your accusing the article of fabricating sources, then provide evidence. DN27ND (talk) 08:23, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia policy states that the onus is on you to prove that the sources exist, not on others to prove that they don't.

When people give you links to clarify Wikipedia policies, as Marchjuly did above, it is in the hope that you will acquaint yourself with the policies concerned and stop pursuing lines of argument that carry no water.

Given that pretty much everything you've said in this discussion so far has been contrary to policy, it will be interesting to see the four sources you've indicated below to see if your estimation of "Reliable Source?", "Significant Coverage?" and "Counts towards GWG?" matches up with Wikipedia policy. Axad12 (talk) 08:43, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I have access to the newspaper clippings. What public website do you suggest I post them to? I want everyone to be able to view them to assess for themselves, not just a select few via email. DN27ND (talk) 09:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DN27ND: This is really my last post here (at least for the time being). I would be careful about adding any convenience links to any Wikipedia page if you reasonably suspect the website you're linking to be hosting potentially copyrighted content without the consent of the original copyright holder of said content. Such a thing would be prohibited per WP:COPYLINK. I know you disregarded my advice above about uploading scans/photos of said articles, but I really think it would be wise for you to seek input at WP:ELN, WP:RSN or even WP:AN first before doing anything like that. It would, in principle, be much better to find links to official websites where such articles might be found, but perhaps an archival site like newspapers.com is also OK. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Like I stated, these sources are from newspapers in the 1960s to 1980s. I don't know if they are online. I have some of the clippings. The others sources on the wikipedia article, I viewed them and referenced them before including it on the article and would take time for me to be able to request them from individuals. If you have suggestions on how I can post the ones I have saved, for the public to view, then I'm open to suggestions. DN27ND (talk) 09:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

for him to update his table, instead of using them to update his table, then hiding them, he choose to hide them without updating his table. The sources were right there for you to evaluate, instead you hid them from public view without updating your table. Copyright issues aside, if they were going to be deleted anyways, why not assess them before the deletion?

Instead of quickly adding those sources to his table, he quickly made claims of COI on other threads. Perhaps Marchjuly has an agenda DN27ND (talk) 21:35, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The former of the two source assessment tables is based on online sources which can be checked. It is by an experienced contributor and indicates that GNG hasn't been met. That was also the opinion of three other contributors to this discussion.

The latter of the two source assessment tables is based on sources that have only been seen by a contributor with an admitted COI. From their contributions above their understanding of Wikipedia policies is clearly faulty and I don't think their assessment of GNG can be given any credence.

Now that the latter user has been blocked from contributing to this discussion I don't see how the rest of us are likely to be able to see the sources that they refer to. While that is unfortunate, the chances of those sources having satisfied GNG must surely be assessed as exceptionally low.

Apart from the COI contributor, the only other contributor to vote KEEP did so on the basis that "from a glancing view I would also say [the article] is not short on sources", but no one disputes the quantity of the sources, the issue is the quality. Axad12 (talk) 15:49, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. @Whothatwhothatwhothstboi: you may vote if you think the page should be retained (see the template in the corner of the page: how to contribute and deletion process). Ilovetvshows may !vote too. Adding sources certainly can help unless other users consider them not reliable/not independent and maybe someone should explain why most sources have been said to fall under WP:NEWSORGINDIA when it does not concern websites or media that are considered generally unreliable (and that are simply not mentioned there), as, not only for newcomers, that might not be completely clear. The quantity of coverage added certainly means something, though. Bylined sources would be better, I guess. Maybe such as https://www.news18.com/entertainment/abhishek-nigam-is-part-of-sayli-salunkhes-pukaar-dil-se-dil-tak-8884431.html, which contains a paragraph that might pass for independent coverage. But I will leave it that as I don't wish to comment any further on the topic and maybe my !vote is clear enough (not opposed to keep- suggesting redirect as a useful compromise, alternative to deletion). -My, oh my!

Disagree with "insignificant" -- the influence of the "Playboy interview" is documented by many sources (some are cited in the list article).

Keep. A traditional kingdom does much more than "grant honours to itself and others." Bunyoro and other traditional kingdoms such as Buganda continue to be an important part of Uganda's society and identity. The article on Bunyoro begins: Bunyoro, also called Bunyoro-Kitara, is a traditional Bantu kingdom in Western Uganda. It was one of the most powerful kingdoms in Central and East Africa from the 13th century to the 19th century. It is ruled by the King (Omukama) of Bunyoro-Kitara. The current ruler is Solomon Iguru I, the 27th Omukama. "Pure fantasy" is a really poor characterization of Bunyoro. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:42, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have not nominated Bunyoro for deletion. The recently-created internet honours mill is what I've nominated, which isn't a commentary on the history of Uganda or the history of the kingdom. I agree that Bunyoro exists; it's full of rich history. Conversely, these articles are not.

Beverley town fair

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

This article appears to be about a livestock market that has changed date and location a few times. I was able to find a reference to medieval Saturday markets, but that 1. doesn't support the implied claim of continuity 2. still wouldn't be a claim of notability since most medium sized towns have markets of one form or another.

Looking at a current list of What's on in Beverley, there's nothing with this exact name. It's clearly the case that there are and were several markets, fairs, festivals and other community events in Beverley - searching online brings up results for the Festival of Christmas, Beverley Puppet Fest before any mention of a livestock fair - none individually notable enough for a Wikipedia article.

I would redirect to Beverley#Culture and amenities. As the article is currently entirely unsourced, I don't believe there's anything that needs merging or preserving. -- D'n'B-t -- 10:02, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/Redirect per nom. WP:BEFORE can't WP:VERIFY most of the contents here. There are some sources for individual notable characters, but these are already covered better at their character articles. Sometimes a single character list is fine for navigation and context (which is the case for List of Doctor Who characters), per WP:ATD. But the premise for this list is flawed, and contains far too much unverifiable content for an additional list. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:38, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I do see the issues with list, but as the topic clearly seems notable based on the secondary sources a WP:BEFORE search brings up, those issues all can be solved through normal editing are therefore not grounds for deletion: As for the purpose, this list can gather links to the Doctor Who villains notable in their own right for navigation, and collect a balanced amount of relevant information on characters who are not notable in their own right, in accordance with WP:CSC and the result of the earlier discussions (although these are quite old). Lacking references can be added from the existing secondary sources (and probably trimming some entries). As for justification and Wikipedia is not a directory, inclusion criteria can and should be phrased. And while tags are admittedly often not very effective, one month is a bit short for see if someone else would like to tackle the problem before bringing things to a deletion discussion. And AfD is not cleanup. And as always, if you see an issue, always consider to Fix it yourself instead of just talking about it. All that said, I have no objection against a merge to List of Doctor Who characters, if a majority thinks this is the better way of presenting things for editorial reasons. A renaming away from List of Doctor Who supporting characters might then be in order, though. Daranios (talk) 15:20, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll confess I didn't look at List of Doctor Who supporting characters before nominating - one thing at a time - but now I have, that too is hard to justify. What doesn't duplicate List of Doctor Who cast members and/or Companion (Doctor Who) is in-universe trivia. We can of course talk about adding in secondary material, but when there's nothing worth keeping at the present moment aren't we in WP:STARTOVER territory?

Comment - The List of Doctor Who supporting characters would likely be the best Redirect/Merge target, as I did notice that the small handful of entries here that were not just one-shot Monster-of-the-Week type characters and were reoccurring characters linking to their own articles are also all listed on that page already. Rorshacma (talk) 16:51, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/Redirect per nom, whatever works best. I've meaning to take action on this list for some time, and was planning to start a merge discussion once I finished my work at List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens. Most of the characters in here are one-offs easily redirectable to their target article, as I don't believe the concept of "Villains" is really independently notable from the main character list. The main character list is, for all intents and purposes, complete shit, and was on my to-do list for a rewrite. I do plan to work on the list eventually and improve it, but I believe the recurring villains can be safely merged to the main list while one offs can be redirected to their parent article. I'd be happy to handle individual character redirects should this article be merged, redirected, or what have you. Should the supporting characters list be decided as the target, I'd be fine with shifting my priorities to rewriting the character list to be actually useful if editors feel that would more greatly beneficial than doing the aliens list, as I already have a draft started in my userspace for a rewrite, because per nom, that list is very much in Wikipedia:STARTOVER territory. In any case, I see no reason this article should exist, and if sources spring up to determine separate notability, the Villains list would require a complete rewrite akin to the aliens list.

Comment: I'm trying to evaluate WP:ENT, but Alexis Tomassian § Filmography is pretty misleading; for instance, Tomassian did not voice Zuko in A:TLA, but rather in its French dub. The best I can find so far is voicing the main characters of Martin Mystery and The Podcats, and the latter's notability is questionable. jlwoodwa (talk) 06:17, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He also voiced Samson in Calamity, a Childhood of Martha Jane Cannary; he's listed as the third star, and a review describes Samson as the plot's initial catalyst. That looks like a significant role to me. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:38, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: If it's notable enough for Finnish Wikipedia, it's notable enough for the English one. Matter of fact, the Finnish article has sources that can be ported with proper translations to the English article. That Article Editing Guy (talk) 22:04, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is not how the English Wikipedia's notability guidelines work. Regardless, I don't think the sources on the Finnish page demonstrate notability per WP:GNG: one is a press release, three of them are links to music charts, and the last is the band's Facebook page. However, they may qualify through WP:MUSICBIO, criterion 2. ArcticSeeress (talk) 18:25, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: There are sources in the corresponding Finnish Wikipedia denoting notability which can be used to expand the article. Requires work though, but certainly not unnotable. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 12:33, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not sure what the above voters are referring to on the Finnish article. There are 5 sources, all of which don't count towards notability. I've included one additional source (blabbermouth.net) I managed to find below:

Even if we count blabbermouth.net as significant coverage, that is only one source that counts towards GNG. Yes, they could meet WP:NBAND because they charted on Finland's national chart, but there isn't enough coverage in reliable sources to write an article. At the moment, most of the article is unsourced original research. Charting does not mean a band is inherently notable or has to be kept; it just means there is usually enough coverage to write an article. C F A 💬 02:42, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per this. Ping me if something changes but these sources do not appear to contribute towards enough GNG for an article. Traumnovelle (talk) 05:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
