Despite her extensive political history, I don't really think she is notable under the Wikipedia guidelines. She hasn't been covered by many news sources, even Delhi local news sources, she is overshadowed by her bigger politician peers, the last coverage was over 10 years ago by reliable sources, and theres not anything extraordinary she did. DotesConks (talk) 04:44, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DotesConks,
Thank you for your feedback. While I understand your point about the extent of media coverage, I believe that Arti Mehra's political career and contributions to Delhi's development make her notable under Wikipedia's guidelines.
1.⁠ ⁠*Political Roles and Achievements*: Arti Mehra served as the Mayor of Delhi for two consecutive terms, a position that requires significant leadership and involvement in governance. She was involved in several important initiatives, including infrastructure development (flyovers, hospitals, and multi-level parking), health reforms, women's empowerment projects, and urban development. These roles show her impact on local governance and urban development, which is significant in her political sphere.
2.⁠ ⁠*International Recognition*: Mehra represented India on global platforms, including speaking at the 62nd United Nations General Assembly and attending international conferences on climate change and women's empowerment. This further establishes her as a notable figure, especially within the context of global politics.
3.⁠ ⁠*References and Media Coverage: Although the news coverage might not be frequent, there are reliable sources like the *Deccan Chronicle and others that have acknowledged her work, including her participation in significant global events. Her contributions, particularly in governance and women's empowerment, have been discussed in reputable outlets. Her role in international relations and her representation of India at high-level events should be taken into account when evaluating her notability.
4.⁠ ⁠*Historical and Political Context*: While she may not have been continuously in the media spotlight, her position as a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and her involvement in Delhi’s political landscape over several years show a long-standing commitment to public service. It is important to consider her overall career impact rather than just recent news coverage.
I would also like to politely mention that there are many people whose contributions are a lot to the society but they don’t have as much media coverage currently. All their articles should be deleted as per your logic.
I believe her political influence, both locally and internationally, qualifies her for inclusion under Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for politicians. However, I appreciate your thoughts on this and am open to further discussion if needed.

A previous discussion had resulted in a Merge, this has now been challenged. Over a year ago.

It is a small group that seems to have no independent notability outside of the lab leak theory (which this was merged with) and which has too little, information to really warrant its own page Slatersteven (talk) 17:13, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[Keep] DRASTIC was instrumental in producing evidence for the lab leak, and is cited widely. Covid-19 was a disaster of such enormity that this group clearly needs to stay. As to not being very current, neither is the NAZI party, but nobody would suggest it is not notable! Tuntable (talk) 23:19, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Can someone who speaks Arabic cite the source given in the article? WikiProject Unreferenced Articles is trying to clear out the backlog for May 2009, which is the source of a lot of the attention this article is getting, as it is currently the last one, so I would add it but I unfortunately am not fluent.

Source Quote Comment
Al-Ahrar (1986) The title reads "السوايسة مهربون وتجار مخدرات و النائب محمد طايع يطالب بتحويله للمحاكمه" ("Al-Sawaisa [this should probably be reworded, refers to people in power in Suez] are smugglers and drug dealers, and MP Mohammed Taie demands that they be brought to trial.") Full text article, fully applicable as reference. Al-Ahram major newspaper in Egypt. Clearly identifies Tayea as a Member of Parliament. Tayea illustrated in a photo.
al-Muṣawwar (1984). p. 5 "... وفى المنيا : حصل الوفد على مقعدين هما مقعد فاروق طه في الدائرة الاولى وأحمد شمرول في الدائرة محمد على طايع . وفى الاسكندرية : فاز الوفد وفى الدائرة الثالثة فاز الوفد بمقعدين في الدائرة الاولى على حين فاز الحزب الوطنى

بثمانية مقاعد وكان ..."

This is clearly a listing of winning candidates from the 1984 Egyptian parliamentary election. But the Google Book text mark-up seems to have an error, there appears to be a missing word that would identify the precise constituency of Tayea. Can't see the full sentence due to snippet view. Due to snippet view, I can't see the title of the article, exact date of original publishing nor the author. Al-Musawar wiki article.
Sabah al-Kheir (2000). p. 6 "وهناك فوزية طايع زوجة المهندس محمد طايع النائب الراحل منذ أسابيع التي تنوى دخول المعركة في الأربعين أيضا" ("... and there is Fawzia Taie, the wife of the engineer Mohamed Taie, the late deputy a few weeks ago, who intends to enter the battle on the fortieth day as well.") Snippet view on Google Books, but full sentence readable. Ar.wiki has an article on Sabah al-Kheir. Clearly identifies that Mohammed Tayea had been a member of parliament, that he was an engineer, that he was dead as of 2000 and that his widow was a candidate in election.
[3] "كبار السؤولين تتعلق بأوجد التعاون بين البلدين في مجالات النقل البري والبحري' والملاقات البرلمانيه . ويغادر وفد مجلس الشعب المعري عمان الى -العقية يوم الثلاثاه القادم عائنا الى نويبع ويضم الوقد البادة:, [...] ؛ محمد مرسي غربء محمود محيد داودء حافظ عبدء شيخدء وجييه الزلاياني..." ("Senior officials discussed cooperation between the two countries in the fields of land and maritime transportation and parliamentary meetings. The Egyptian People's Assembly delegation will leave Amman for Aqaba next Tuesday, heading to Nuweiba. The delegation includes: [...] Mohamed Morsi Gharbeh, Mahmoud Mohid Daoud, Hafez Abdel Shekhed, and Wagih Al-Zalayani. Mohammed Ali Tayea; ...")

محمد علي طايع؛ "

1985 article in Jordanian newspaper Ad-Dustour, mentioning Tayea as part of an Egyptian parliamentary delegation. Contrary to comment made in the previous AfD, an equivalent of a congressional staffer would not have been mentioned as a delegation member in Middle East context.
[4] "...م تحدث محمد طايع ( حزب الوفد ) © لمحاميى القطاع العام والهيئات ما كانوا أسوة بما هى متيع" ("Mohamed Taie (Wafd Party) © spoke to the lawyers of the public sector and the bodies that they were not equal to what they are enjoying...") Al-Akhbar article from 1985. The mark-up is horrible, but ties Tayea to the Wafd Party and seem to relate to parliamentary event.
قضية مجارى الاسكندرية : جريمة العصر القصة الكاملة لتلويث مدينة و تدمير معالمها السياحية و الحضارية و البيئية "ه - المهندس / محمد علی محمد طايع عضو لجنة الاسكان وقامت اللجنة بزيارة ميدانية لمحافظة الاسكندرية في الفترة من ١ - ٤ مارس سنة ١٩٨٥ اجتمعت خلالها بالسيد محافظ الاسكندرية ورئيس المجلس الشعبى المحلى وبعض أعضائه ورئيس هيئة الصرف الصح" A book, seemingly polemical, has a mention of Engineer Tayea being a member of the Housing Committee, participating in a fact-finding mission instituted by the People's Assembly. The fact-finding committee happened in March 1984, so before the May 1984 election.
مصطفى شردي من المهد إلى المجد "مهندس محمد طايع - عضو مجلس الشعب السابق" ("Engineer Mohammad Tayea - former member of the People's Council [i.e. parliament of Egypt]") A book, which mentions Tayea as former MP in passing (p. 188)

Article topic fails WP:ORG. The party is defunct and achieved insignificant results in the one election it fielded candidates in (0.21% of the popular vote, less than 7% in ridings it contested).

The article was previously PRODed in 2020 but deproded by Spinningspark with the explanation: "This is more than the usual joke/personal soapbox minor party. It needs a more thorough discussion before deleting, and some evidence of WP:BEFORE". I looked through Google (general web search), Google Books, Google Scholar, and my university databases (local to BC) for reliable sources and found no in-depth coverage. The only content about the party that has survived on the web is non-in-depth public records from the provincial government (i.e. date registered, deregistered, etc.).

I found this article by a local Indigenous publisher, but the coverage does not include a claim of notability. The coverage is quite routine and is a basic breakdown of the party's ambitions. Yue🌙 02:05, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Teagan Livingston (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Although a colonel in the U.S. air force, the subject doesn't seem to be notable. Livingston has limited coverage by reliable sources. She is featured in an article from The Times of London on how her admission to a women's lineage organization led it into "a political storm for welcoming transgender women", but it seems the organization's admission policy of trans women more generally is the focus of the article, not Livingston as a trans woman herself.

Other than that, there is an article on a voice training group for trans people at a Pennsylvania grad school with a couple quotes about her experience as a participant. This seems pretty trivial and not worth a mention. Best, Bridget (talk) 02:43, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment (changed to Keep, see below): No results in either Swiss newspaper archive. I will search for German sources tomorrow, but if I don't get around to it this should be read as a !vote to delete. Toadspike [Talk] 21:39, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    After searching several newspaper archives, I finally found hits in the Schwäbische Zeitung [5]. Most of it is not sigcov, simply covering exhibitions of his work and by his art group Panta Rhei (likely notable) – this has four sentences about his work and his art, this has around a paragraph about his art, this has a sentence or two. I strongly suspect that their archive, which would have covered Feierabend when he was alive, will have more coverage, but it seems like I'd need their app to access it.
    The search function of the Deutscher Zeitungsarchiv is very obtuse but it seems like they don't have anything on him – not a surprise, given that their coverage after ~1950 is limited. Toadspike [Talk] 18:28, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    From the German Wikipedia article, there's a biography of him titled "Die Stille ist laut genug: Der Maler Hermann Feierabend und seine Bilder" and have an article about one of his paintings being stolen [6] (paywalled). Searching that newspaper (Südkurier) for his name in quotes, I get over 39 results. At this point, I am certain that enough sourcing exists for an article, even if I cannot access it due to paywalls. We should keep this article. Toadspike [Talk] 18:55, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This artist does not meet WP:NARTIST. He has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, or won significant critical attention, or been represented within the permanent collections of any notable galleries or museums. The article has no citations and I am not finding any RS to support the information presented in the article. The German Wikipedia article does not show notability. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:11, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Did you read anything I wrote above? Although he isn't world famous, "He has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition" is demonstrably false [7][8][9][10]and "or won significant critical attention" is also demonstrably false (there is a book written about him). While I admit that the sources I've linked don't cover all the info in the article, there are in fact many reliable sources that cover him. I also strongly disagree with "The German Wikipedia article does not show notability" – it cites a book and a news source, which is a lot by their standards. Toadspike [Talk] 07:42, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes I read what you wrote and disagree with your assessment. Multiple items in Schwäbische Zeitung does not make an artist notable, just a member of a local group of artists who exhibit in the town hall every year. Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 16:22, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Apologies for my harsh language. I think the paywalled Südkurier articles and potential coverage in the Schwäbische archives, plus the book, are enough. You do not. This is reasonable and we may agree to disagree. Toadspike [Talk] 17:25, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
