User:SDZeroBot/AfD sorting

This article currently seems to be largely based on unreliable blogs (reader's grotto, and Andrew Rowe - a non notable self-described author of "progression fantasy", who actually claims to have been involved in the coining/publicization of the term (not an independent source). I spent some time looking for more substantial sources about the genre, and it's pretty limited. A couple books are described by their authors as instances of it (), and there is a Bachelor's thesis that mentions the concept. There's a mention in an article in USA Today, which describes the genre as a "parent" of LitRPG. Otherwise, there's quite a lot of reddit threads (which, apparently, google considers 'news' these days) mentioning the concept.

Looking only at post-2020 sources in the assumption that the previous AfD assessed any pre-2020 ones:

More importantly, this is an impossible WP:LISTCRIT failure. As someone even brought up at one point on the talk page, what qualifies a film as biographical? While some entries are certainly uncontroversial, many are not. For example, 300 is on the list, and isn't biographical, even if it did involve a couple real historical figures. Apollo 13 is on the list, but isn't biographical. Shkespeare in Love??? Really? That was fiction for crying out loud. But we have all sorts of edge cases here too, like Schindler's List. Is that biographical? Eh, sorta, but also sorta not.

The page also lacks citations; doing a search for other sources, there are no results about him that I can see in Google Books/News/Scholar (or at least they're lost in the results for the hundreds of other Jonathan Lees).

The only pre-Supermarket Sweep article I found with any real meat on it was this press release from the Newspaper Enterprise Association. Everything else in the 80s was a passing name-drop of him as one of many co-hosts on Real People, or routine mentions of his stage roles ("David Ruprecht plays the role of..."). Even coverage of Supermarket Sweep at its 1990 debut only confirms him as the host and gives zero biographical information. Post-Sweep, all I found was a routine mention of him hosting a local pageant, and another mention of him in a Q&A column. GBooks gave only name-drops of him hosting Sweep or false positives that had the words "David" and "Ruprecht" next to each other, and GNews gave only a couple gossip or nostalgia articles on Supermarket Sweep.

The current sources in the article are a podcast interview, another interview from Broadway World (which is unreliable per WP:BROADWAYWORLD), an Apple TV listing of a work he was in, and a TV Guide listing verifying a non-notable award he won. None of this is SIGCOV, and my WP:BEFORE showed that there isn't much out there on the guy.

Background

I have bundled these in response to a spate of recent successful AfDs all passing on the same basis. I have also bundled centuries with five-wicket hauls because they are equivalent feats; both statistically (average 1½ centuries per test match, 1~1¼ five-wicket hauls per test match) and in prestige. If either cross-categorisation is to be discussed as a whole, the other should likewise be addressed.

These cross-categorisations have the following overall AfD history:

Almost all of these AfDs have had advocates on both the delete and keep sides, before closers concluded delete.

I note that 2021's three big bundle nominations focussed on grounds considered 'less prestigious', which contributed to their deemed failing of WP:NLIST. The 2023–2026 AfDs, on the other hand, have deleted from some of the most prestigious grounds (MCG, Old Trafford, etc.) with WP:NOTSTATS and WP:INDISCRIMINATE considered irrespective the notability or prestige of the ground.

Of the three sources in the article: This is a one-paragraph blurb on "Beautiful Mess", which only name-drops him as the songwriter, This CMT article only name-drops Mills in passing, and the third is the subject's own website.

On Newspapers.com:

On GBooks, the results were this ASCAP magazine name-dropping him as a recent signee, along with multiple passing name-drops in Billboard like this that only mention Mills writing a song and nothing more, or this review of one of his songs that only mentions him as the songwriter and nothing more.

MusicRow.com gave these two blurbs, each only a paragraph long, that are just routine mentions of him signing publishing contracts. Not SIGCOV.

The claims of Grammy nominations are misleading. "Beautiful Mess" was nominated for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and "Heaven, Heartache, and the Power of Love" for Best Female Country Vocal Performance, meaning the nominees were respectively Diamond Rio and Trisha Yearwood, not Mills himself.

Everything else I found online was podcasts, directory listings, YouTube videos, or other content unsuitable for use on Wikipedia. So far, literally all we know about him biographically is that he might be from Mississippi. That's not enough to base a BLP on. The songs are clearly notable, but that doesn't automatically mean he is.

I still believe a discussion is warranted as Bustle might not be a reliable source and Bustle is the only source providing significant independent coverage of Preston outside of America's Next Top Model I can find after a BEFORE search.

Source analysis:

These mentions fail to even combine into a basis for notability here.

The page also lacks citations; doing a search for other sources, there are no results about him that I can see in Google Books/News/Scholar (or at least they're lost in the results for the hundreds of other Jonathan Lees).

I suspect the current tables are WP:OR collated from tables during live streams or undeclared copy-pasting from Liquipedia.

It was created and subsequently expanded with obvious intent to serve as a POV fork by Qq8's sockpuppets (now mostly blocked); Qq8 has openly acknowledged that he is Igor Markov, a prominent AlphaChip opponent, whose papers are now cited 14 times in the article. (More than half the article's current content is still a product of Qq8 socks.)

I propose that the page Religious influences on Zoroastrianism be either: 1) Renamed to Zoroastrianism and other religions; or 2) Merged into the main Zoroastrianism article.

The current title is one‑sided and biased. It only implies a one‑way influence, but mutual influences between Zoroastrianism and other religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) are well documented (Boyce 2000; Shaked 1995; Payne 2015; Nigosian 1993). Early Zoroastrianism (the Gathas) predates Islam and Christianity, and there is no evidence of its contact with Judaism, Babylonia, or Hellenism. Therefore, the current title is misleading.
