I nominated a previous version of this page for deletion. The consensus decision was Merge to Just Stop Oil, which was not what I had originally proposed. The Just Stop Oil page does contain a brief summary of the relevant event, but I don't think a full merge has been carried out. Instead, this page has been expanded to cover other instances of vandalism. However, it's still got the infobox and the undue emphasis on the flash-in-the-pan event that prompted the article's creation. I believe this fails WP:COATRACK, and I still think the article should be deleted, possibly with a merger of the relevant bits into Stonehenge, not Just Stop Oil.

Unnecessary WP:CFORK, and violates WP:NOTDATABASE as almost the entire content of the article is just a copy of the ESPNCricinfo source [1]. Just because the men's IPL has this article (which I also don't necessarily agree with), that doesn't mean this article meets WP:NLIST, as I don't see significant coverage about these captains grouped together in news sources (i.e. not just copies of the table).

This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 13:33, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. Potton, Ed (2004-12-18). "Something to bray about - Our pick of the festive TV". The Times. Archived from the original on 2024-07-03. Retrieved 2024-07-03.

      The article notes: "The Last Chancers began as a Comedy Lab sketch, directed by Stephen Merchant of The Office and starring Buxton and Steve John Shepherd of This Life. Channel 4 later commissioned it as a two-parter, "obviously with Stephen no longer on board because he was too busy winning awards". The result is more mainstream than his previous stuff, but the pop cultural digs are still sharp. The wry observations on in-band politics and musical tribalism, in particular, make you wonder whether Buxton, like his co-writer MacMurray, has a murky past on the gigging circuit."

    2. Smith, Rupert (2004-12-23). "Rock bottom". The Guardian. Archived from the original on 2024-07-03. Retrieved 2024-07-03.

      The review notes: "A new comedy drama about the ups and downs of life in a rock band rings all the right bells, largely because it raises hopes that we might be in for a 21st-century Rock Follies. The Last Chancers (Channel 4, first shown on E4) was not that longed-for event, but it was an agreeable hour that wasn't short of laughs or insight. Writers Tony MacMurray and Adam Buxton have clearly done their time in the lower depths of the music business ..."

    3. Ridgway, Imogen (2004-12-22). "Last chance saloon for pub rock hopefuls". Evening Standard. Archived from the original on 2024-07-03. Retrieved 2024-07-03.

      The review notes: "The ineptitude and staggering self-belief of Buxton's Johnny is bound to draw comparisons with David Brent, but there's also something a little Alan Partridge-y about his desire for fame. The characters of his fellow male band members, alas, have not been developed as much. However, the two female leads, guitarist Liv (Valerie Edmond) and gobby Aussie Kirby (Emma Pierson) are played with confidence and add an extra dimension to what might have been a bloke-centric drama."

    4. Dugdale, John (2004-12-12). "The Last Chancers - Pick of the day". The Sunday Times. Archived from the original on 2024-07-03. Retrieved 2024-07-03.

      The review notes: "Underused on TV since The Crow Road, Edmond is a welcome signing; but the comedy's problem is its hero, who suffers as many humiliations as Brent and Alan Partridge but lacks their compelling and richly imagined awfulness."

    5. Sutcliffe, Thomas (2004-12-23). "Last night's television: Yes, I'm beginning to see the light - Light Fantastic BBC4 The Last Chancers C4". The Independent. Archived from the original on 2024-07-03. Retrieved 2024-07-03.

      The review notes: "The Last Chancers looks a bit like a six-part sitcom that has suffered a rear-end shunt and ended up as a two-part comedy drama. The tone was certainly more sitcom than drama, since Adam Buxton plays the part of Johnny - a white-bread wannabe rocker - with the same slightly arch, sketch-like performance he used on The Adam and Joe Show. Looking at my notes, I can't find a single line that would withstand quotation in cold print as an example of something funny, but that doesn't do any kind of justice to what was a rather engaging comedy."

    6. Starkey, Gabrielle (2004-12-11). "The Last Chancers - Multichannel Choice". The Times. Archived from the original on 2024-07-03. Retrieved 2024-07-03.

      The review notes: "There are a lot of influences in here, most notably The Office and Spinal Tap, but it's well observed and written and (all too rare in comedy nowadays) funny. In particular, the characters are all well-defined and instantly recognisable without being total cliches."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow The Last Chancers to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

      The book notes: "Conceived in 1986 by four friends with a shared passion for historic military vehicles and who thrilled at driving their own vintage models in parades this museum has developed into a place to honor America's other veterans of the battlefront. It boasts a collection of more than 60 meticulously restored fighting machines, ready to roll at a moment's notice. Most vehicles have been acquired within a 150-mile radius of the museum. When tractors were in short supply in the 1940s and early 1950s, local farmers often relied on retired warriors rugged jeeps, trucks, and half-tracks to work their land. The Heartland's dedicated staff has rescued many from rust and oblivion, returning them to mint condition."

      The book notes: "Ever wondered what sitting in a tank would be like? This central Nebraska location encourages exploration of all vehicles on display. Besides tanks, helicopters, halftracks and even ambulances are on display. Jeeps from every branch of service are lined up. From World War II to present day, about one hundred restored vehicles are ready for action. Most are still operational. Military engines are also housed here."

      The article notes: " Such moments and memories are hallmarks of the Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles, a volunteer-run, admission-free facility off Interstate 80 at the Lexington exit. It displays military memorabilia, including more than 70 restored Jeeps, tanks and helicopters, to honor those who built and used the "Arsenal of Democracy." ... Lauby, 60, is among the three farmers and an attorney three of whom are Vietnam veterans who founded the museum in 1988. ... Most of the vehicles were found within a 150-mile radius of Lexington, but several were purchased through military surplus sales or donated by veterans. Over-the-road truckers and local railroads have donated services to haul the hulking machines. ... One of the museum's six Huey helicopters was shot down five times in Vietnam; another was a medical ambulance during Operation Desert Storm."

      The article notes: "At the Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles, they've got Nebraska's largest private collection of military jeeps, ambulances, armored personnel carriers and Burma trucks. On the northeast corner of the Interstate 80 Lexington interchange, they've got about 60 restored military vehicles representing every armed conflict from World War I to Operation Desert Storm. ... What Nielsen referred to as a group of naive farm boys and ranchers incorporated as a nonprofit group, took out bank loans, raised money and built the first building on the site. They opened in 1993, but only in good weather. They put the word out that if the flag was up on the pole, the museum was open."

The museum is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of historical military equipment of all types.

Main issue: the 2nd film of the director never released --> WP:TOOEARLY. This guy only directed one released film, not meeting Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative professionals since the film received mixed reviews. The notabliity guidleine states that the director creates a "well-known work or collective body of work". As of 2024, the work is not well known, it is a single film with mixed reviews, not a critically acclaimed film. I don't know if a writeup by an assistant professor at American College, Madurai holds any weightage but that info can be added to Penguin, the director's only released film. The deletion was caused by an undo of a redirect to Penguin. Long sources are mainly direct interviews about Penguin, not independent. Acting roles seem minor and not notable.

If anybody who directs one film, gets an article, doesn't this set a bad precedent. The film didn't win a National Award or any award for that matter.

This source [13] talks about six films including Penguin, all of this information pertaining to Penguin should be moved to the film article. This director can be notable after more of his works release. DareshMohan (talk) 22:36, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: if you are wondering what the contents of source #7 is, it is here: [14] The story focuses on the pain and struggles suffered by the female lead. A pregnant woman remembers her child who went missing years ago. After the child’s missing, her husband started becoming toxic by saying she was the reason for the loss and separated ways from her. Later after years, a male character was shown who accepted her as she is and started living happily with her. No strong characterization or importance was given to both these male roles. They are just part of the screenplay.

That's just the plot of the film. How is it scholarly analysis? The assistant professor mentioned above [15] (page 100) is the only significant analysis but that is of the film and can be added to Penguin.

Just redirect to Penguin till Zebra (his second film) releases. DareshMohan (talk) 23:17, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails WP:Actor and WP:Director. AmericanY (talk) 06:55, 28 June 2024 (UTC)AmericanY (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • Keep: This seems like a bad-faith nomination and I believe you are upset about your friend, User:Monhiroe's autopatrolled rights being removed. You first edited this article on 8 October 2023, what changed your mind between then and 19 June, 2024, when you redirected it? Did it take eight months for you to judge its notability? On 19 June, you skimmed through all the articles I have ever created and made some changes on three of them [16][17][18]. Was it to check which ones you could nominate for deletion but couldn't find any, so you thought Eashvar Karthic was borderline because he had only one film and chose to redirect it? Is this how you get back at an editor who may have upset your friend?
The notice you have posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force is not neutral and did not follow WP:APPNOTE. Is your nomination rationale so weak that you are trying to discredit a source simultaneously?
Notability
  • The main issue you have mentioned in you nomination rationale is countered by WP:FILMMAKER#3 where it explicitly mentions significant or well-known work. It need not be a collective body of work.
  • I believe the film receiving mixed reviews has no weightage here as we are not debating for WP:FILMMAKER#4c
  • As of 2024, the work is not well known, it is a single film with mixed reviews, not a critically acclaimed film. - Adding to my previous comments above, the film has been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, which can be verified by checking Penguin (film).
  • Apart from the above, the film has been cited in journals for three completely different reasons: A film that discusses women-centric films, OTT during the COVID-19 pandemic and representation of the subaltern.
  • If you had taken the time to read through Source #7, you would have known that the PDF you have linked is another journal that has cited the original source #7's work. In the PDF you have linked, Penguin (film) was selected as one of the films out of all the other women-centric films that were released in 2020. The scholarly analysis is in the findings and conclusion section of the same PDF. The journal entry's objective is independent of the subject, so it's absurd to ask for an analysis about the film when the objective is different.
  • FWIW, here is another journal that extensively cites the subject's work.
There is significant coverage about the subject and their work. Penguin (film) has also received independent periodical articles, reviews and cited in multiple journals, thereby passing the WP:FILMMAKER criteria. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 09:02, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Jeraxmoira, I completely agree with you on the notability of this director and, like you, I do indeed disagree with DareshMohan's interpretation of the guideline in the present case, but is your very aggressive opening statement absolutely necessary? I am inviting you to kindly strike it. I don't think it's appropriate here, nor helpful. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 09:27, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Any bad-faith nomination will be called out. My statement is true and the diffs/timeline make it clear, so it will not be struck out. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 11:05, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
