Keep A quick look at google scholar found an entire chapter on the company in Beginning PostgreSQL on the Cloud : Simplifying Database As a Service on Cloud Platforms (2018). And articles like this[1] about a service outage and this [2] about the company's future were already in the article. And articles like Rackspace Hires Morgan Stanley to Help Evaluate Options [3] round out the picture that this is a significant market player.
I've looked at the talk page analysis and am still puzzled as to the logic behind this nomination. I would encourage @Julian in LA to spend time participating in NCORP/NORG AfD's before attempting further nominations. Oblivy (talk) 23:47, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

William Graif

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

This came up at WP:COIN, where there has been argument also over whether the subject is notable or not. Bringing here to get a clear consensus. I am personally a weak delete: the source I see are all either glancing mentions or human interest reporting of the sort that I do not think adds much to notability. I am influenced by WP:TNT: this overweight article has little to do with what an eventual article on the subject would look like. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 19:49, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The article appears to be well referenced on its surface, but upon further investigation they are very much lacking. The sources marked US Chess are actually from the US Chess Federation, whereas reading US Chess initially implied to me it was some sort of news publication - the rest appear to be largely passing mentions, or routine coverage and scoreboards. I also concur with the nominator that TNT bears some weight here. I'd be interested to hear the opinion of a chess editor but from my point of view there's not much to build an article on. MediaKyle (talk) 21:01, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I can confirm the assessment of MediaKyle that the cited sources are largely passing mentions, coverage by local news outlets of "local boy does good", and crosstables. The edit history shows that the whole article was written by Chessy12, whose user page declares a conflict of interest over the article. In other words, the article is an WP:Autobiography.

Keep – Article meets WP:GNG and WP:NCHESS. — Chessy12 (talk) 05:13, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The draft meets WP:GNG and the sport-specific WP:NCHESS tests. Multiple independent, reliable outlets have provided significant, in-depth coverage of William Graif for decades.

Significant coverage (chronological):

- Scarsdale Inquirer "Whiz Kid!" front-page feature on young chess prodigy and early life (Aug 29, 2008)

(this publication also featured Graif+Edgemont in 2018, and his individual Canadian Junior Championship in 2019)

- MLB.com national human-interest story on friendship with pitcher, discussing National Master titled attained at age 14 (Oct 18, 2015)

- Daily News discussing back-to-back NY State High School Championships, concluding "Edgemont owes much of its success to player/coach William Graif", article also quotes Graif extensively (Mar 22, 2018)

- The Chicago Maroon three long-form sports pieces (May 2021, Nov 2021, Mar 2022) discussing on-campus impact, FM title, European tour, and team victories

- Bloomberg News business feature on 2024 World Corporate Chess Championships, quoting Graif and his board-one role (Jun 18, 2024)

- Empire Chess Magazine Autumn-2024 cover story with interview and annotated games after NY State title (Oct 7, 2024)

- Uptown Radio 7.5-minute audio on Chessboxing -- covering Graif's victory and his preparation for 2025 World Championships -- as well as cultural impact (May 16, 2025)

These sources alone provide sustained, non-trivial coverage (whole articles, audio segments, magazine coverage) across at least ten years (2015-2025) in mainstream, regional, and specialist outlets -- far beyond "passing mentions" and easily clearing the "significant coverage" bar.

Comparable or lower-titled players with kept pages (demonstrates consistent application of the same policies, not WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS):

- FM James H. Canty III -- streamer (Graif also streamer+YouTuber with 10k subscribers

- FM Tanitoluwa Emmanuel "Tani" Adewumi -- prodigy coverage

- FM Joshua Colas -- mainly scholastic titles, also is IM-elect

- WFM Alexandra Valeria Botez -- lower title, but extensive media presence

Each kept due to sustained RS coverage, illustrating consistent application of GNG for FIDE Masters. Notability turns on the depth of independent reliable coverage, and rating alone is irrelevant per WP:NCHESS, which clearly states that GNG is paramount. As for other concerns, COI or overweight prose is addressed by normal editing, not deletion (see WP:TNT §KEEP). Expanded below.

(WP:NCHESS #3 mentions "has won a national or continental championship or women's championship", of which Graif has four age-based)

Common SPORTSBIO triggers:

- "Significant national titles": 146th New York State Champion (2024), Canadian Junior U20 Champion (2019), US 6th Grade National Champion (2011), US 3rd Grade National Champion (2008), Canadian Youth U10 National Champion (2008) [source: tournament cross-tables linked in article, plus media coverage]

- "International representation": officially selected for Team USA at the 2025 World Chessboxing Championships [source: Uptown Radio]

COI / weight: I understand and appreciate the concerns about the language used in the article, but per WP:TNT section KEEP, the fix for an over-long COI draft about a notable subject is trimming, not deletion, and am happy to help, for instance:

– prune puffery

– condense routine scholastic crosstables

– add page/episode numbers to the RS above

Conclusion: With multiple, independent RS giving in-depth coverage and national titles plus international selection, Graif is clearly a very notable figure stemming from the chess community. We are talking about the current New York State Chess Champion (noting that this is an extremely prestigious title: the longest-running annual chess tournament in the world according to NYSCA, since the 1870s, Graif is the 146th Champion, a list which includes some of the greatest chess players of all time).

Result: William Graif plainly clears GNG and NCHESS. Keep and tag for cleanup. Chessy12 (talk) 05:13, 4 July 2025 (UTC)— Chessy12 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Outside of the death, there is no coverage about him...Even the shooting was rather recent, I'm not sure it meets notability at this time. Rather routine event, no criminal charges laid.

Kevin McGarry (actor)

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

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of an actor, not properly referenced as passing WP:NACTOR. As always, actors are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they've had acting roles -- the notability test doesn't reside in listing acting roles, it resides in the quality and depth and volume of WP:GNG-worthy reliable source coverage that can be shown about him and his performances to support the article with.
But this is referenced principally to directory entries, podcast interviews, one of those garbage "celebrity net worth" PR profiles and content on the self-published production website of the show that constitutes his most potentially notable role, none of which is support for notability at all.
What there is for proper media coverage is one People magazine article that's focusing on his wedding rather than on the significance of his acting, an article in Us Weekly (which per WP:RSP is considered less reliable than People, and thus doesn't count as a strong GNG builder) that's doing the exact same thing, and a piece of "local guy does stuff" in the community news hyperlocal of his own hometown -- which doesn't add up to enough coverage to get him over GNG by itself if the article's sourcing is 85 per cent unreliable junk otherwise.
Just having been in television shows and films is not an automatic notability freebie without significantly better sourcing than this. Also there may be a WP:COI here, as the article was created by an WP:SPA with no history of contributing on any other topic. Bearcat (talk) 14:27, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I believe this article should be kept. Kevin McGarry is a notable Canadian actor best known for major roles on series like When Calls the Heart and Heartland, as well as in Hallmark Channel films. The article includes multiple reliable secondary sources, including Entertainment Tonight, Good Housekeeping, TV Insider, and Hallmark Channel. He meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria for actors through multiple significant roles and national media coverage. SU5MSJ (talk) 01:30, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Hallmark Channel's own self-published website about itself is not reliable or WP:GNG-building sourcing for the purposes of establishing the notability of an actor in Hallmark Channel programming, because it isn't independent coverage from a third party. TV Insider is a directory entry, not reliable coverage in GNG-building media or books. The Good Housekeeping and Entertainment Tonight sources you added, in an incorrect format that couldn't stay in the article, were both dead links that didn't lead to the content that you claimed they were leading to, but to "page not found" errors — and according to the headlines, neither of them appeared to be about Kevin McGarry, since they both pertained to something or somebody else, so even if they could be replaced with correct links they still wouldn't ensure Kevin McGarry's notability just because his name was in them. We're not looking for just any source you can find with his name in it, we're looking for sources that represent substantive coverage, written by journalists, in which Kevin McGarry is the primary subject of the source.

Keep WPGNG Andh Namazi (talk) 11:01, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I came here hoping desperately I could keep, because science communication matters. But the article is supported by only two sources, an imdb and an asteroid database. Google doesn't find anything that's not self-generated, but actually finds a lot of other Anton Petrovs in science, which makes things confusing. Even worse, the imdb site has two Anton Petrov's, one with the biography, but the other one[10] linked to the TV series on cosmology. This is probably just a mess-up of duplicate entries, but we can't really have articles based on (1) a single autobiography (self-published) - with no independent referencing - where (2) there's an element of doubt about who the article's about anyway. And the research paper doesn't help because it was a master's thesis, which is a routine part of an education, not peer-reviewed literature. Elemimele (talk) 11:57, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pride Season

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

Article, based entirely on primary sources rather than reliable ones, which misdefines its topic as being much more exclusive to a single country than it actually is.
"Pride season", meaning the part of the year during which LGBTQ Pride events are typically held, is in no way a uniquely Canadian thing -- it's not even the least bit difficult to find sources using the term "Pride season" in American, European and Asian contexts -- but this article, as written, posits it as a uniquely Canadian phenomenon, uses primary sources rather than media coverage for referencing, and basically just provides a short summary of the history of LGBTQ Pride in Canada and an incomplete list of some cities that have pride events (but a considerable number of pride events in Canada have their own Wikipedia articles already, including several in cities that haven't been listed here at all, so why the list wouldn't be linking to them is a mystery).
No prejudice against the creation of a better-referenced and more detailed overview article about LGBTQ Pride in Canada, if desired, but "Pride Season" isn't the correct title for that as it isn't a uniquely Canadian phenomenon or even a uniquely Canadian term for it, and I can't justify just moving this article to that title without major improvement either — but just adding internationalized content to this article wouldn't be a useful alternative, since it's far from clear that the concept of "Pride season" would actually need a separate article from the base concept of LGBTQ Pride at all.

Youssef El Deeb

AfDs for this article:

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

Was nominated for deletion by Bearcat, part of their rationale was, "WP:BLP of a media entrepreneur, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for media figures. As always, founders of television channels are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on their sourceability -- but this is referenced entirely to a mixture of primary sources and glancing namechecks of the subject's existence in coverage about other things, with no evidence shown at all of any GNG-worthy coverage with him as its subject." Although re-written, this still applies. The second part of Bearcat's rationale dealt with COI editing, which has only been exacerbated by the most recent edits of a blatant COI/UPE editor. I also agree with Bearian's assessment in the prior AfD. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 10:51, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – This subject meets the criteria of WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Youssef El Deeb is not simply a "founder"; he is a significant media figure in the Arab world. His creation of Fatafeat TV — later acquired by Discovery — is a landmark event in Arab media, widely covered in **independent** and **reliable** sources such as *Deadline*, *The Hollywood Reporter*, and *BroadcastPro ME* (not primary or promotional outlets).
He also held senior executive roles at MBC and Rotana, and his creative work in film and TV has been recognized with awards — further reinforcing his notability under WP:CREATIVE and WP:ENT.
The current version of the article uses multiple **independent** and **significant** sources that focus on El Deeb himself, not just passing mentions. This satisfies the sourcing standard under GNG.
The deletion rationale cites past versions, but the article has been substantially rewritten and resourced. The presence of COI/UPE concerns is not, in itself, grounds for deletion — per WP:NOTCLEAN, what matters is whether the article **now** meets policy. It does.
Editors are welcome to continue improving neutrality or trimming promotional tone, but deletion would discard verifiable coverage of a genuinely notable figure in Arab media.

Delete for lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. While this is a reliable source, I had to scroll through all 7 paragraphs and multiple ads to find the producer mentioned as a literal afterthought. The rest of the sources are less than reliable or more passing mentions. There's a myth about producers that they are rare, creative performers of some kind.

Unreferenced article about an organization. As always, organizations are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:ORGDEPTH on substantive and significant WP:GNG-worthy reliable source coverage about them -- but this cites no sources at all, and the only footnote that's ever previously been in the article was an issue of the self-published newsletter of one of its own regional chapters, which is not an independent third-party source.

Freebird Games

I am not convinced Freebird Games passes WP:NCORP. It has a dearth of coverage about the studio itself that isn't just about the To the Moon series, which doesn't have similar notability issues.

I do believe that Kan Gao, the games' mostly solo dev, is independently notable, per WP:NARTIST and various sources. [12] [13] However, he is likely notable under his real name for a biography article, not under the studio name for a company article. Thus, it would require a rewrite and has no bearing on this page. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:24, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect How about RPG Maker? I moved all of the informations from Freebird Games wikipedia article into RPG Maker rather than deletion. GeniusTaker (talk) 14:46, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If it were redirected to RPG Maker, it feels like it would run afoul of WP:SURPRISE. While To the Moon would be a better target, he also made numerous other games. So it would be better to delete to let the search function do its job, unless a page on Kan Gao were made. If you want to "rescue" the info, I'd suggest making said page using the aforementioned sources, and you could likely merge some of this into it. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:12, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, technically, I already "rescue" the info. That'll be important is to delete or merge the article before I'll redirect the page into RPG Maker until Kan Gao appears as a Wikipedia page with reliable sources. GeniusTaker (talk) 09:48, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Well, if Freebied Games is virtually the brand of Kan Gao, would it not be appropriate to rename and repurpose the article instead? IgelRM (talk) 16:28, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It can't be guaranteed that someone will actually do that after the discussion is concluded. It's better to start a new article at Kan Gao if you wish to transfer the information, then redirecting there would be a valid WP:ATD. Changing the scope of the article would also be a problem if one day Freebird Games did become independently notable of the creator. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:31, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unsure if this is relevant to WP:NCORP but Kan Gao is not the series "mostly solo dev" as seen here https://freebirdgames.com/about/ on the companies website. Falak89 (talk) 20:14, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe not, but the listing also doesn't show the devs' relative workload. Regardless, even if he isn't the main developer, it doesn't change my point. Gao is notable, the company isn't. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:08, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is not relevant for NCORP. I might have exaggerated but I think a conversion would still be possible. IgelRM (talk) 12:04, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The overly promo tone of this doesn't help. I've tried Gbooks, Scholar and a News search, other than routine mentions (naming a president, xyz student participating), I can't find anything about this org. Sounds like a wonderful opportunity, but sourcing is sparse. The article only has primary sources at this point. Oaktree b (talk) 17:14, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect- though I would agree with the Nom about the article needing some rewrite to be more neutral in tone, however the subject/concept of the article is potentially notable, though more as a feature implemented as a result of agreements /collaborations between universties and colleges. as can be seen with a few samples like 1 ,2 , 3 ,perhaps it can be made as a redirect as a feature/programme under existing notable US colleges and universities.Lorraine Crane (talk) 03:29, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This is practically a brochure, and I'm unsure of a suitable redirect target. It doesn't appear that there's anything here one couldn't get on the organization's own website, anyways. I took a look to see if there was any coverage and couldn't find anything, although if there was anything out there it's probably buried amidst news about immigration law.
