Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Journalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging of articles related to Journalism. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Journalism|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Journalism. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Entire article contains no citations for information and reads rather like a resume or article written by the subject himself. None of the sources address the information included within the article and do not appear to be WP:RS either. General reference 1 is ImDB, 2 hardly could even be described as a biography and is written by the subject's company, 3 is not independent of the subject, 4 does not mention the subject in the actual article, and 5 is unavailable and from its title, hardly seems like it would contain WP:SIGCOV. A quick google search doesn't appear to yield any promising sources. Neither do searches of google books and google news. Bungle491 (talk) 00:29, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

- links raised concerns about sourcing. However, the subject meets WP:NBIOGRAPHY / WP:GNG based on significant coverage
- in independent secondary sources covering early VR development, SIGGRAPH leadership, and historical publications.
- Here are reliable, independent secondary sources for evaluation:
- 1. Kent Bye, "AWE Hall of Famer Gregory Panos's Journey into VR," *Voices of VR Podcast* (#1612, August 2025). Detailed biographical oral history covering SIGGRAPH leadership and early VR work.
- 2. XR Hall of Fame (2025 Inductee coverage honoring VR/AR pioneers).
- 3. Panos, Greg, "Whose Data Is That Anyway?" *Animation World Magazine*, Issue 2.11 (1998).
- 4. *Virtual Reality Sourcebook* (1991–1998) - cited historical industry reference directory.

I do not see a clear WP:NBIO/WP:BASIC or WP:NAUTHOR pass. oNline sources found on Google mostly verify that he is a working journalist, author and speaker, but they are largely bylines, profiles, podcast listings, database pages, or primary sources rather than significant independent coverage of the subject himself.

I do not see a pass of WP:NBIO, WP:BASIC or WP:NAUTHOR. The available sourcing I could find on Google as well as listed in the article is mainly bylines, routine DUJ office-holder/election mentions, report credits, and quotes in articles about other topics, rather than significant independent coverage of Madhok herself.

I propose merging this article to Newscast (podcast) because I have found this merge proposal on the talk page for Newscast, this discussion will provide due process and a formal decision on that proposal as a template has never been used to formally propose a merger.
I personally oppose this proposal as per point one of WP:NOMERGE, it would make the target article very unwieldy. RogueScholar mentions technical details (such as both podcasts being in the same feed) mean that the articles should be merged, but I have never known that technical considerations should be made in these types of discussions, rather, they should be focused on the notability of content. Some parts of this article could be included in the Newscast article, but it would not be wise to merge the whole article as there is content exclusive to this iteration of the show.

- Comment: A merger of some kind seems sensible, as long as they're one and the same. I remember having a discussion about this at the time Brexitcast was replaced by Newscast, and whether a separate article was needed. I was advised they were two separate podcasts. However, there's an argument for Newscast being a continuation of its predecessor, because they have the same presenting team and format. The podcast was launched to provide analysis of the 2017 general election and titled Electioncast, becoming Brexitcast afterwards. Apart from a couple of special editions, Brexitcast stopped airing regularly after the UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020, but the format continued to air as a podcast, as well as a television programme in the same BBC One timeslot with Newscast. And basically, that format is a dive into the week's political events, which had been dominated by Brexit up to that point. I also seem to remember the podcast being retitled The Coronavirus Newscast or something similar to that for a while at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. So we have four separate names for what is arguably the same podcast, and two separate articles covering its history. Television and radio programmes have previously undergone name changes, the one that springs to mind being Loose Women, which was Live Talk for a time. But we don't have separate articles for Loose Women and Live Talk. Clearly, a straight cut and paste from Brexitcast to Newscast wouldn't be appropriate, but elements of the former could be merged into the latter to create a more comprehensive article covering both topics. Brexitcast would then become a redirect to the expanded article. I suppose it depends whether the BBC and other media regard the podcasts as separate entities as to whether we should do the same.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 18:17, 4 August 2026 (UTC)- Support merge. It's one podcast, it makes no sense to have two articles about it. That they periodically change the name to reflect the top ongoing news item is not a reason to have a separate article. Samuelshraga (talk) 05:50, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

WP:NOTNEWS. Short-lived media relations initiative within a government office that existed for only about five months two decades ago. Coverage consists primarily of contemporary reports announcing its creation, with no significant independent secondary coverage documenting lasting impact, historical importance, or broader notability.

I am very skeptical this person meets either WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. I do not believe being named to the "Time 100 Next" list is counts as a significant award under WP:ANYBIO; it is a "rising star" kind of award, and Time has diluted the brand of the Time 100 by creating many subsidiary lists. In any event, her "Time 100 Next" writeup is a single paragraph and not WP:SIGCOV. Other sources are limited to:
- Another single-paragraph blurb in a Forbes Middle East list.
- Press release-driven promotional coverage, often unbylined, of "awards" she has received (,
- Primary source Q&A WP:INTERVIEWs (, , , )
- WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs (, , , , , , ) (Several of these are Arab News, which per RSN is not a reliable source for coverage of Saudi state enterprises like Al-Rashid's company.)
- Sources that do not mention her at all (,
- Primary source bios (, )
I can't view whether she's discussed in the Ankler article with its very hard paywall but even if she is, we still don't have independent, reliable source WP:SIGCOV elsewhere for a WP:GNG pass. In my WP:BEFORE search, I found more of the same but no qualifying coverage. As an alternative to deletion, I would accept a redirect to Saudi Research and Media Group, where the subject is mentioned, which would preserve the page history should qualifying SIGCOV emerge in the future. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:05, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople, Women, Journalism, and Saudi Arabia. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:05, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- I vote Keep (full disclosure: I am this GA article's creator). Alrashid has significant coverage in the Ankler article (which should be counted as WP:PAYWALL says you can't limit a source by its difficulty of access, including paywalling). She also received a full-length, 489-word profile in Communicate Middle East, where she was named #5th-ranking Leader of 2021. She is also significantly covered in this Springer-published book on business leaders in the Gulf, and the Deadline interview, which tilts closer to the critical/prepared interview discussed in WP:INTERVIEW as it appears to include criticalness (for example, stating that it appears women are still struggling in the Saudi cinema scene "It feels like they’re struggling to progress to features").
- She was also named to the Time 100 Next in 2025 with a profile on her activities. She was named to the Forbes Middle East Most Powerful Businesswomen three times (2023, 2024, 2025), each time including a short profile on her and her activities over the relevant year, and to a leaders list Fast Company Middle East, and has also been discussed by this paper about Western and Arab media portrayals of arab women. Jishara (talk) 16:35, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- Can you describe how much text the Ankler article gives to her and the nature of it for those of us who can't access and review it? Meanwhile, to address the added sources:
- The Springer book you cite gives her less than one paragraph (four sentences) - hardly SIGCOV in the context of a book.
- Communicate a trade magazine, coverage in which is generally not considered independent.
- The journal article you cite includes two brief quotations from AlRashid and four sentences of summmary, not even close to SIGCOV:
Table 8 reveals that Arab News presented a news discourse that states that there are many stories that demonstrate the significant role played by Arab women in daily life. The speaker is a Saudi Arabian female, Jomana Al-Rashid, who works as the CEO of the SRMG. She is considered one of the most successful women in Saudi Arabia; she illustrates that many women are also successful like her.... The newspaper quoted from the speech of Jomana Alrashid, written in Table 10 above, informs the readers that Arab women have their rights protected.
- The Deadline material is solely based on its interview with her and appears to incorporate virtually no independent reporting.
- The other sources you added are trivial mentions (, , ).
- The Fast Company Middle East mention (nota bene - not Fast Company but a Middle Eastern outlet that has licensed the brand) is a single paragraph.
- None of these would count toward a WP:GNG/WP:NBIO pass. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:17, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response. I agree that some of the sources are trivial, but my rationale for Keep is not based on those sources alone:
- The book is independent and reliable: as for significance, it passes the WP:100WORDS.
- Trade magazines are not automatically considered non-independent, just leaning that way, and this is 1) a leading trade mag for a relevant but not directly associated to her field trade and 2) a 489-word source profiling her journey in the context of an award granted - I'd argue that this does in fact pass independence.
- In addition, Time 100 Next included a profile of her that's fully independent reporting from an independent, reliable, bylined source and passes WP:100WORDS. Each of the Forbes Middle East profiles do, as well, pass WP:100WORDS, showing the coverage is in fact significant. Jishara (talk) 17:51, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- 100WORDS is an essay, not a guideline. SIGCOV is determined in large part through context, and 100 words of coverage in a single paragraph of a full-length book would constitute a passing mention in the context of the book. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:57, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- I agree that WP:100WORDS is not solely dispositive. However, the ~180 words spent on her trends towards the overall conclusion here that the book does include substantive coverage - it details her present and former work, and also includes individualized discussion you would be unlikely to see in coverage that's less substantive and requires its own research: ex, discussion of her use of head coverings. This is also just one part of a larger picture of significant coverage. I appreciate your thoughtful discussion on this. Jishara (talk) 18:23, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

- Oppose (i.e., Keep). I recognize the sourcing here isn't as clean as we'd like, but I think there's a real risk of applying GNG more strictly here than we would to a comparable subject with English-language, Western trade press coverage. Alrashid runs one of the largest media groups in the MENA region and chairs a major film festival, yet a lot of the coverage of executives in her position, regardless of gender or nationality, tends to run through regional trade press and Q&A-style interviews, simply because that's how business journalism works in that market. That's a structural feature of how Gulf business figures (and Arab women executives especially) get covered, not necessarily evidence that she's non-notable. Applying a rigid SIGCOV test without accounting for how sourcing patterns differ by region and language risks systematically under-representing subjects like this one. That said, I don't think this needs to rest on that argument alone. The Springer-published book gives her two pages (pp. 71–72) of independent, non-interview discussion ;not a trivial mention, regardless of what WP:100WORDS' exact word count says. She's also the subject of independent reporting in Time's profile, which by itself is a reasonably strong plank. Combined with the Ankler piece which per WP:PAYWALL can't be discounted just because it's hard to access...I think there's enough to clear GNG even before we get to the interview-heavy or trade-press sources, which I agree are weaker and shouldn't be leaned on too heavily.

- Keep I disagree that these all passing mentions - 180 words is not a brief mention in my view, and still counts as SIGCOV. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 10:30, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- Keep She should pass WP:BASIC where it says that "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability". Even if I cannot read the firewalled article either.-Deamonpen (talk)
