There are not enough independent sources WP:SIGCOV to constitute WP:GNG. I also think the organization is solely based on their Notable Alumni section; I want to make it clear that notability is not inherited, WP:NOTINHERIT. Also, it doesn't qualify for WP:ORG.

My source search (regular Google, Google News, and Google Books) only led me to three "arrl.org" sources (the ones in the article), and two books which only mention the name in passing. pattersonuwu njz (talk) 01:51, 26 September 2026 (UTC)reply

  • Comment: this is almost certainly the same subject as the first nomination from 2006 that ended in deletion (and with low participation for that era); obviously the potential sourcing (even for a subject around since 1947) has not improved in 20 years (and this iteration of the article has been around since 2007, not all that long after the first nomination). No opinion at this time. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 02:43, 26 September 2026 (UTC)reply
    The 2006 deletion does not establish the outcome of the present discussion. Notability is assessed from the sources available and identified now, and the earlier discussion reportedly had limited participation.
    The assertion that sourcing “obviously” has not improved is also premature. A dedicated ARRL article discusses QCWA’s founding, historical membership, chapter development, and 75th anniversary, while additional print-era coverage has been identified in WorldRadio. QCWA’s historical records also indicate that its historian maintained a collection of older books, papers, photographs, and other materials, some intended for scanning and publication.
    I agree that QCWA-authored records cannot establish notability and that each publication must be evaluated for independence and depth. However, the prior deletion and the article’s age are not substitutes for examining the presently identified sources under WP:GNG, WP:NORG, and WP:BEFORE. The print-era record should be reviewed before concluding that adequate coverage does not exist. Hamradio007 (talk) 03:07, 26 September 2026 (UTC)reply

  • Weak keep. From an IA search, there's quite a lot of reporting about QCWA in amateur radio magazines worldwide, sustained over the nearly 80 years it's been around, but it tends to be brief. For example: QST and CQ reported on its first meetings in 1948; very short mention in QST in 1950; Radio Electronics in 1952; RSGB Bulletin in 1961; the book So You Want To Be A Ham in 1968; Popular Electronics in 1980; Radiosporting in 1986. A 1977 editorial in 73 is the most in-depth piece I found. Certainly enough to source its history and growth in membership, and some of the activities it's been involved in -- contributing to development of amateur radio licensing in the US, offering scholarships -- but it'd be nice to see a more in-depth discussion of its history (maybe someone should write one for the anniversary next year!). Adam Sampson (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2026 (UTC)reply
    Adam, thank you — this was very helpful. I went back through the article and incorporated the archival sources you identified, including the 1948 QST and CQ coverage, the later references in QST, Radio-Electronics, RSGB Bulletin, Popular Electronics, and Radiosporting, Robert Hertzberg’s So You Want to Be a Ham, and the 1977 73 Magazine editorial.
    I also cleaned up the citation formatting so the periodicals are cited as magazine sources rather than books, and added a new Historical coverage section to document the sustained published coverage over the decades.
    Your suggestion to look beyond readily searchable web sources and into the Internet Archive was excellent and materially improved the article. I appreciate you taking the time to do that research and point me toward those sources.Hamradio007 (talk) 05:11, 27 September 2026 (UTC)reply

Keep. Although the article lacks of independient source, it has a source from Ars Technica. Lack of independient sources can be resolved by finding sources rather than deleting. Amitie 10g (talk) 19:10, 26 September 2026 (UTC)reply
That presupposes that such sources exist. Merely implying that they might is not a valid 'keep' rationale. If you wish the article be kept, go find them. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:33, 26 September 2026 (UTC)reply
If you're talking about Ars Technica, the source is available at Internet Archive. The cite needs to be updated. Amitie 10g (talk) 22:27, 26 September 2026 (UTC)reply
No, I am referring to the sources that you implied could be found. Sources, plural, as WP:N specifies. Though even an actual verifiable citation to an archived version of the specific Ars Technica article would be a start, given that you are claiming that it may help demonstrate notability. What exactly is preventing you from providing actual citations? AndyTheGrump (talk)
While we certainly prefer that sources be found over deletion when possible, as sources not currently in the article can contribute to notability, we also prefer that we actually know what those sources are over merely suggesting they exist. (No opinion on whether that is the case here.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:18, 26 September 2026 (UTC)reply
  • Delete. I've actually taken the time to look for sources, and can't really find anything that would meet WP:N. There are brief reviews, but most do little more than describe the very basics of what is after all just another in a multitude of Linux distro's, with little to distinguish them from their contemporaries. We already have List of Linux distributions, and expanding the entry there (which currently doesn't even cite a source, and fails to give any indication of its release and discontinuation dates) would be far more useful to place it in context. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:38, 30 September 2026 (UTC)reply
  • Delete – on the Ars Technica source raised above: it is one entry in that site's 2008 year-end Ovatio Awards round-up, an award blurb rather than coverage of the distribution, and the Softpedia link is a shutdown notice. Everything else is the project's own site, the rPath wiki and a Gmane mailing-list post (WP:NSOFT, WP:GNG). Kukuryza (talk) 01:45, 1 October 2026 (UTC)reply
  • Keep Ars Technica is good enough as it contains more than WP:100WORDS on the subject and contains independent analysis. There is also additional coverage, some labeled as reviews. Kelob2678 (talk) 21:14, 3 October 2026 (UTC)reply
See the note at the top of WP:100WORDS: This page is not an encyclopedia article or a Wikipedia policy, as it has not been reviewed by the community. An obscure essay only edited by a dozen or so contributors is of no real significance here. AndyTheGrump (talk) 01:12, 4 October 2026 (UTC)reply

  • Comment: this survived the first nomination in 2010, possibly due to the lower standards of the era, but also seemingly based on identified sources that still aren't in the article 16 years later. The second nomination from 2022 was a procedural follow-up to an IP's PROD (which was invalid because of the first nomination), and ended as "no consensus" for attracting no further participation (owing to the prior AfD and its "keep" consensus). Of note, that IP PROD had more-or-less the same rationale as the current nominator, which may be of note with regard to the AN discussion (the prior link to it was invalid); another IP tried a second PROD with more-or-less the same rationale shortly after that second nomination, which was outright declined without any follow-up. That "no consensus" was not enough to resolve the tag for potential NPRODUCT failure in place since 2021. (No opinion on any of this.). WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:13, 26 September 2026 (UTC)reply

List of British Asian artists (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)

This list is arbitrary and does not pass the notability threshold of WP:NLIST. In the UK, British Asians usually refers to people of subcontinental origin. If you say "he is Asian" to British person, they picture a person of Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan or Bangladeshi origin. The category of "British Asian" applied to all of Asia is not reflecting anything that any contemporary British person recognises as a coherent category, which is why, unlike for British Chinese or British Asian (subcontinental) there are no sources that treat "British Asian" (continental) as a category. At the limit, sources which cover artists with origins from the subcontinent, China and further east may exist, though I have never personally seen any.

There is a census category of "British Asian/Asian", which includes the options "Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Chinese/any other Asian please describe". However, people from West and central Asia do not consistently use this and a separate "Arab" category exists outside of Asian. Turks, Iranians and eastern Russians will usually, though not always, tick "White other" or "any other ethnicity". Boynamedsue (talk) 13:31, 26 September 2026 (UTC)reply

  • Hi there. I'll briefly explain my reasoning for creating the page. I came across the List of Black British artists some months ago while research one project, and, separately, more recently, was exploring the British Asians page to look for info about an Asian artist I had in mind. I noted that the section on arts in the latter page was lacking, and thought that a way in which this section could be enriched, without becoming over long, would be to direct to a stand-alone page. I chose "British Asian" as it is a census term. If folks wanted to make a list or article about British Iranian, British-Russian, artists (or theatre makers, writers, etc etc), then that seems like a splendid idea if separate to the aims of this list/ category. I have added some wording to the top of the list to explain the (imperfect, by many measures, but a definition nonetheless, which accords with census use).
EDIT: in addition, I would note that "British Asian art" or "British Asian artist/s" is legible in an art history context, and as a wider cultural term which does have coherence, to discuss artists/makers of Asian descent. See eg. https://www.london.gov.uk/programmes-strategies/arts-and-culture/commission-diversity-public-realm/london-unseen-heritage-tours-and-trails/london-unseen-meet-our-guides/british-asian-visual-art-post-cool-britannia; https://www.museum.manchester.ac.uk/galleries/south-asia-gallery; https://www.vice.com/en/article/where-are-all-the-british-asian-artists-623/; https://www.ucl.ac.uk/slade/2025/03/11/Chai_Shai_FINAL.pdf; https://research.gold.ac.uk/id/eprint/39107/; https://research.gold.ac.uk/id/eprint/33853/; https://doi.org/10.1177/0163443711436356; https://www.manchesterhive.com/display/9781526128737/9781526128737.00008.xml etc. Medievalfran (talk) 15:09, 28 September 2026 (UTC)reply
Thanks for getting back to me. I think the articles you've posted kind of prove my point. All but one of them relate to South Asian communities alone, only this one relates, as I suggested we would find, to both South Asian and East Asian Britons (but not West Asian, Central Asian or Southeast Asians).Boynamedsue (talk) 17:12, 28 September 2026 (UTC)reply
  • Delete - "British Asian" is a vague term that really isn't defined outside the Office for National Statistics. Looking at the list is seems to be mostly modern/contemporary artists. A better grouping is the article for The Other Story (exhibition). Heavily referenced in this list, but uses the definition Afro-Asian Artists in Post-war Britain. WP:TOOBROAD unless much more time is spent defining this group with RS. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:07, 1 October 2026 (UTC)reply
  • Keep as a navigational list. British Asian is a well-defined category, because this is how these people are classified by the ONS. If the sources separate East Asians and South Asians, then the article can be reworked to reflect this split instead of being deleted. Kelob2678 (talk) 21:40, 3 October 2026 (UTC)reply

Musician seemingly notable only for a few years' association with The Cranberries. Sources here are primary source Q&A interviews (, , ), a page on a Cranberries fan blog, brief trivial mentions (, , , , ) and sources that don't mention her (, ). I found one review for an EP issued under the name White Prism and one review for a full length album issued under that name, but neither is enough coverage for either or both to be notable under WP:NMUSIC, and thus I don't see a pass for Cranitch under WP:NMUSICIAN or, per the source analysis above, a WP:GNG pass. OK with a redirect to the Cranberries page, where she is mentioned and for which she seems best known. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:21, 19 September 2026 (UTC)reply

Non-notable small (7- to 10-person?) startup company that doesn't meet WP:NORG or WP:GNG. In terms of the general coverage, most of what is offered (and seemingly available based on my own WP:BEFORE) is the type of passing mentions in general tech-industry/start-up outlets about funding/incubation/etc. Several of which are in the article. EG: "of 220 companies that applied for this start-up program, 15 were selected" (chronicle.lu and siliconluxembourg.lu), "several Irish start-ups help with waste management - here's 2" (Irish Examiner), "10 small startups got a grant of €50,000 at a local event - Eirvato was one of them" (luxinnovation.lu), etc. Of the coverage which does deal with the company as a primary topic, it is relatively ROTM business coverage (on funding/etc) similar to what we might expect for any other similar startup: "small company raises enough to pay 6 or 7 people for a year" (Irish Times) or "7-person company closes Blanchardstown office due to slow uptake in Ireland - moving instead to 1-person office in Luxembourg" (TheJournal and Fora.ie), etc. The claims to notability in the "recognition" section are incredibly weak: "company was one of 237 finalists (in 26 categories) that didn't win anything at a niche industry awards do" (GreenAwards.ie), "company was one of 1000+(?) others who applied and were selected for a proprietary label" (solarimpulse.com). The text of the article itself describes an otherwise ROTM small <10-person start-up company. Comparable to millions of such small companies globally. While it is great that the creating COI/SPA editor declared a connection, that doesn't override the fundamental notability concerns. (Frankly this is such a clear case that I'd have PROD'ed. Only that this has seemingly been through AfC....) Guliolopez (talk) 09:25, 18 September 2026 (UTC)reply

    • Comment (article creator, COI disclosed on my user page — offering one source-focused note and leaving the assessment to uninvolved editors). I'd ask that the sources be weighed individually per WP:SIRS rather than as a group. Three stand apart from the accelerator/listing material, which I agree carries little weight: (1) the Irish Times piece is a full-length, bylined article in a national newspaper devoted solely to the company — it goes beyond the transaction to independently describe the product, target sectors and market context; (2) the Silicon Republic article is a dedicated editorial feature, not a reprinted announcement, selected and written by the outlet's editor with analysis of the company's model and strategic shift; (3) Fora/TheJournal published dedicated reporting on the company's strategic decisions, again with the company as the sole subject. That is multiple pieces of significant coverage, in independent national outlets, across several years — which is the WP:GNG/WP:NCORP threshold, even setting aside every routine item the nominator lists. The Recognition section was intended as verifiable fact, not as a notability claim, and I have no objection to trimming it. If consensus is nonetheless that WP:NCORP is not met today, I'd respectfully ask the closing administrator to consider draftify as an alternative to deletion: the company remains operational and the article can return through AfC if and when deeper coverage exists. ~~~~
