Sourcing:

Guardian article isn't significant coverage
Southern Illinoisian article is *about* a partnership that's not independent (he gave them the books about him to read), but the article itself is indepdent, reliable, and significant
The "Steer Your Business Magazine" article seems very likely non-independent
MoneyMarketing doesn't really cover *him*
BusinessInsider is mostly him saying "I got rich by saving", may or may not be significant coverage, definitely independent
OutsourcingAngel is non-reliable
HillSong is just an event invite + non-independent
His autobiography & other book are non-independent

I am also unable to find any other sources, other than what is already in the article, on a quick look. His claims to fame seem to be (a) being a millionaire who was once homeless and (b) owning Genistar. But the S.Ill. + Bus.Insider don't really make enough coverage for (a), and (b) would be better in its own article. Therefore, Delete, lacking any sources.

Clear craze

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

Concerns about WP:GNG as raised earlier on the article's talk page by another user, which I'll repeat below:

A quick search of Google Scholar returns the sum total of one book that mentions the concept of a "clear craze" ever existing, or that it was a thing that was defined to the 1980s or 1990s. I am almost certain this article fails notability and significance. I am not sure how I ended up here to be honest but I see no significance or notability to this article or its contents. Moreover, I fail to see how the term "clear craze" is encyclopedic in any real sense. Further to the point tabloid trends do not construe a relevant or notable reason for this article to be here.

At current, this article loosely collates a list of products that were released around the 1990s that had a transparent design, which is anecdotally indeed something that some products did during that time that can be called a trend. However, the article's collation of them and framing them as a "clear craze" overstep the mark when the nomenclature and grouping is not subject to significant secondary coverage. We don't have an article for Global Village Coffeehouse even though the term means something and connotes an obvious trend without more secondary sources that substantiate the term. Some reflections include the following:

(1) Firstly, on the use of the phrase, the beverage 'clear craze' seems very loosely to be a thing that some sources like the Newsweek article in the context of the trend to create clear beverages or consumer products to reflect claims about the purity and healthiness of the product. I am not sure that this makes it notable, given that the only source really holding the article up at the moment is the Newsweek one, but it seems that this is where the term is coming from. There's very little secondary analysis, and pivotal sentences in the article like "the clear craze became official with its first wave of products" are unsourced. A brief look around for the term doesn't find much use of "clear craze" as a phrasing, although I found it in or the book The Nineties by Chuck Klosterman (around p. 191) [1]. So thinking critically here, without evidence of consumer demand for this style, "craze" at best falsely connotes a marketing strategy that does not, in fact, reflect a "craze" for the products. The most notable example on the page, Crystal Pepsi, was a failure.

(2) Following from that, on the categorisation of products included, the article spuriously conflates the concept of the 'clear craze' as it applied to beverages and consumables to other trends in transparent product design, particularly transparent casings of consumer electronics in the later 90s that seem to have occurred well after the fact of the sourced products. From what I can tell, the link isn't explicitly made by the sources. Ultimately, the article is a list of products with very little explanation of what unites them. There is not a lot of sourcing or analysis to justify why certain things are in the article other than that an editor or other has found a source about a clear-looking product from that era, attributed it to the "clear craze", and put it in. This is not really the most rigorous approach when trying to define a term for a historical design trend.

If this is deemed notable, suggest a rewrite of the article focusing on (a) the substance and use of the term, and (b) being more rigorous about what about products from that era make it attributable to the trend, backed by sources.

Comments - First, there are several websites with text almost identical to this article, but I can't tell whether the WP article is WP:COPYVIO or a case of citogenesis: (1), (2), (3).

The article needs to be revised to resolve the possible copyvio problem.

Second, there are sources that could be used in an overhaul effort for this article:

Third, there are multiple listings by college, annually, naming scholarship awardees at the various institutions, with descriptions of the award, which colud provide in depth, reliable sources to revise the article.

Last, perhaps the best solution to the problem of potential copyvio might be to draftify this article, and rebuild it from secondary, reliable sources. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 17:53, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

A copyvio is unlikely. Looking through the article's history, the current version developed slowly over time. Here is the copyvio comparison for your link no. 1. It's blatantly obvious (and also kinda funny) that they just copied text from Wikipedia and made some minor changes to disguise it ("29" -> "various", "selected" -> "chosen", "on the basis of" -> "based on"). The comparison tool doesn't work for the other two links, but they're dated so we can look at the latest revision before they were published. For both no. 2 and no. 3, the text was already there. So the copyright concerns are baseless and the article should definitely not be draftified. --Un assiolo (talk) 19:19, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Semi-advertorialized article about a filmmaker, not properly referenced as passing inclusion criteria for filmmakers.
The attempted notability claim here is an unreferenced list of minor awards from small-fry film festivals whose awards are not instant notability clinchers -- WP:NFILM is looking for Oscars, Canadian Screen Awards, BAFTAs or major film festivals on the order of Cannes, Berlin or TIFF whose awards get broadly reported by the media as news, not just any film festival that exists -- but apart from two hits of "local woman does stuff" in her own hometown media (and a New York Times hit that tangentially verifies the existence of a podcast that she was not involved in creating, and thus is not about her in any GNG-contributing sense), this is otherwise referenced entirely to primary and unreliable sources that are not support for notability at all.

Lean keep Unlike a lot of these fledgling companies, that end up promising a lot of vaporware, this case is likely different. This engine has the backing of Northrop Grumman, which needs it to power its Antares rocket, which it needs to lift the Cygnus spacecraft into space to resupply the International Space Station per the terms of its Commercial Resupply Services contract witch NASA. So there’s a lot riding on this program, which all adds to its notability. Furthermore, if this engine program fails, that itself may be notable if it ends the entire Antares rocket program.

Jim Dukhovny

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

Biography of a CEO of a company, Alef Aeronautics, which is developing a 'flying car'. The article fails to demonstrate that Dukhovny himself, rather than the company and its proposed project, is notable by Wikipedia criteria. The sourcing (some of which looks questionable) consists entirely of articles discussing the project, and of interviews with Dukhovny - interviews are of course not independent of the subject, and thus cannot be used to demonstrate notability.

Category:Vehicle simulation MOGs

Propose merging Category:Vehicle simulation MOGs to Category:Multiplayer vehicle operation games

Nominator's rationale: A very similar category already exists. The desired category for merging is for practically the same thing. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 05:00, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Strong Oppose. As the originator of both categories, "multiplayer vehicle operation games" is actually the category that is more specific.

here is its specific role : A category for any video game, arcade game, or board game in which multiple players are able to each operate a different control station or weapon station on the same vehicle at the same time.,the category for vehicle simulation MOGs is more generic, as it is simply any multiplayer games where players play the game by operating a vehicle, i.e. rather than controlling an in-game persona. --Sm8900 (talk) 02:09, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Merge or reverse merge, the difference is too subtle to keep them apart. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:39, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
it is entirely different. in "multiplayer vehicle operation games," you and other players would be at separate stations on the same vehicle. Whereas "Vehicle simulation MOGs" includes any and all games where each player has their own jet fighter, or tank,or other vehicle, and is trying to shoot other players.

Category:People from Jagiroad District

Propose renaming Category:People from Jagiroad District to Category:People from Jagiroad

Nominator's rationale: The Wikipedia category should be renamed from "People from Jagiroad district" to "People from Jagiroad" because Jagiroad is not a district but a town in Assam, India. Saurabh^{Talk} 03:12, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Just delete, the only article in the category does not contain any information about where the subject lived or lives. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:11, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
@Marcocapelle: Does He has been elected in Assam Legislative Assembly election […] from Jagiroad constituency not imply that? jlwoodwa (talk) 06:18, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- No, unless Jagiroad is the only populated place in the constituency. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:22, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
  @Marcocapelle Jagiroad is actually the most populated town in the constituency, and it's also the second most populated area in the district after the district headquarters. It's often considered a sub-division of the district due to its size and importance. Besides being a major transport hub, it's also an industrial area with significant establishments like the Hindustan Paper Mill and the Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Testing Facility. Saurabh^{Talk} 17:22, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
Yes, the phrase does imply that he was elected from the Jagiroad constituency in the Assam Legislative Assembly election. Categorizing this information can help clarify these details and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the subject.
However, we can also use "Jagiroad" instead of "People from Jagiroad," which will provide broader coverage. Saurabh^{Talk} 14:54, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
He is in three Assam MLAs categories and a political party category, that seems to suffice. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:48, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Category:Mass shootings involving armed citizens

Propose deleting Category:Mass shootings involving armed citizens (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure if this should be renamed, as armed citizens seems like a POV title, or outright deleted as non-defining. User:Namiba 14:20, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:58, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
Delete per nom. POV and not-defining. Are there mass shootings perpetrated by unarmed people? Or wait, is this supposed to be shootings where someone was armed at all? regardless, delete. Mason (talk) 03:59, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Keep for context, this refers to incidents where someone where someone who was not the police went after the perpetrator with a weapon, armed citizen here is referring to the person who tried to stop them and not the perp. For a few of these incidents in this cat this is actually quite defining and discussed, but I don't care enough to argue this. In either case I do not think it is POV; armed citizens is the usual title for this kind of thing in the sources. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:25, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Keep as creator This has been a major topic of discussion in the American gun control debate, and there are plenty of sources talking about it (just search "mass shootings armed citizens". I think it is a defining characteristic for some shootings (New Life Church, Greenwood, Sutherland Springs, Cetinje for an international example; there are plenty of sources discussing the armed citizens' roles in those attacks). The cat can be removed from the others if you want. It's also not POV, I guess we can change it to "Mass shootings involving defensive gun use" if you want.Also Mason please look at the category page and take 5 seconds to read the description before you comment anything. Thank you. Lettlre (talk) 22:09, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:03, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm on the fence about whether to keep or delete. However, if kept, it needs renaming because the current name is unclear, both because it could refer to the shooter and because citizen generally refers to someone with citizenship, which is obviously unconnected to this topic. Perhaps something like Category:Mass shootings involving armed civilian defenders, though I don't like the word "defender" but I'm unsure what else to suggest.

Category:LGBT YouTube celebrities

Propose deleting Category:LGBT YouTube celebrities (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Not a helpful redirect, considering that the start of both this category and its target is "LGBT YouTube". Delete it. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 02:48, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

The category was moved to Category:LGBT YouTubers nearly a decade ago, I don't have a problem with deleting this. AusLondonder (talk) 03:26, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Not quite sure I understand the rationale though, it was only in existence as a result of a move. AusLondonder (talk) 04:00, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:This TV affiliates

Propose deleting Category:This TV affiliates (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Empty category (network defunct) Mvcg66b3r (talk) 02:46, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Delete You shouldn't be preemptively emptying categories, but here deletion is merited when the network in question no longer exists. See this CfD nom from 2023.

Category:Post-Classical Chinese philosophers

Propose merging Category:Post-Classical Chinese philosophers to Category:Philosophers by Imperial Chinese dynasty‎

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. Post-classical is vague and unclearly defined Mason (talk) 02:45, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

I thought we had a complete post-classical tree for East and South Asia, but apparently not, or not any longer. Merge as it does not make sense to keep a single post-classical category on its own. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Canadian women designers

Propose merging Category:Canadian women designers to Category:Canadian women artists
Propose merging Category:Swedish women designers to Category:Swedish women artists

Nominator's rationale: Merge per EGRS and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_December_3#Category:Women_designers Mason (talk) 23:27, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Shouldn't the subcategories be nominated too? Shouldn't it be a dual merge? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:53, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

What are you suggesting that the subcategories need to be nominated for? All of them are in established "X by nationality" trees with dozens upon dozens of siblings for other countries, with no discernible reason why Canada should be uniquely excluded from established trees, so why would they need to be deleted? Bearcat (talk) 17:31, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

If the nominated category is a case of WP:OCEGRS then surely its subcategories too. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:38, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

If Category:Women fashion designers and its Category:Women fashion designers by nationality subcategory, with 76 countries represented in it, are not a problem, then Canada's category for that cannot be a special standalone problem if the rest of that tree isn't. If Category:Women architects and its Category:Women architects by nationality subcategory, with 72 countries represented in it, are not a problem, then Canada's category for that cannot be a special standalone problem if the rest of that tree isn't. And on and so forth. Bearcat (talk) 14:01, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
I did not intend to nominate the subcategories, just this level per the discussion. Mason (talk) 02:47, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry but I just don't get it. Why we would remove the women subcat here, but keep a women subcat both at a higher level and at a lower level in the tree? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:49, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:First-person shooter multiplayer online games

Propose splitting Category:First-person shooter multiplayer online games to Category:First-person shooters and Category:Multiplayer online games

Nominator's rationale: This is a though one, but there are multiple reasons why this long-lasting category might not be as defining as everyone has once thought.

FPSMOGs are not a legitimate sub-genre of first-person shooters, while MMOFPSs considered one and Wikipedia has their own article on it. More importantly, most games in the FPS genre as whole will have online multiplayer, making it even more non-defining. This category isn't an entirely non-diffusing category and is also one of the only categories at the moment combing a genre and multiplayer online games.

This merge may make navigation harder, both the MOGs and FPS categories will contain 35-45 more articles, and that's okay. And besides not every single title that would fit into this category has been added here anyway.

For the subcategories we will instead replace the MMOFPSs category with category:Multiplayer online games and category:First-person shooters by series. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 02:03, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
