Proposal to close the Notability noticeboard

A proposal is under way to determine whether or not to close down the notability noticeboard: Misplaced Pages:Village pump (proposals)#Close the Notability Noticeboard. All are welcome to comment. equazcion 15:45, 13 Sep 2013 (UTC)

My gut reaction is: Probably ... but its not guaranteed. Certainly the articles need a lot of work ... they need editing and much better sourcing to establish why the buildings are notable. I would suggest tagging the articles for improvement... and waiting a while before sending to AfD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueboar (talk • contribs)

• All look to be worthy of coverage. However, as they are so stubby, the coverage would be better structured in merged articles. I would look to merge the mosques and churches, such as by region, denomination and/or age. Not everything here is a mosque or church. Isa_Boletini_Monument, I think obviously belongs in the Isa_Boletini article. Migjeni_Theatre would fit well into the article section Shkodër#Culture. These topics I do not think are notable, as in best presented as a standalone article, but this does not mean that Misplaced Pages should not cover them. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:30, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

TheDetroiter.com

Hello. This article has been tagged for notability for 6 years, and has resulted in no consensus at AfD twice in last 5 years. Can anyone help solve this one way or the other? Boleyn (talk) 07:59, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Arguably its not really notable (nothing out there discussing the site itself), but it should be able to be included in Media in Detroit (best guess) with a redirect so that it remains a searachable term. --MASEM (t) 18:59, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

The Sudans

I'm bringing this here because the notability noticeboard was shut down. I recently created The Sudans, and I wanted a second opinion as to weather it was notable. I thought it most likely was based on these Google searches. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 18:51, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

• "The Sudans" OR "two Sudans"
• "The Sudans" OR "two Sudans" OR "North ans South Sudan" OR "Sudan and South Sudan"

Seems completely reasonable as a notable term to describe the combined countries. (it's not a neogolism). Yes, you likely will be deferring to Sudan and South Sudan for the bulk of the information but I see no reason why there shouldn't be a standalone article to at least explain this. --MASEM (t) 18:56, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

When is one sentence sufficient to establish notability?

At WP:ANI the claim has been made by an extremely senior editor and admin with over 151K edits that a one sentence mention, "Top fashion firms include Jazmin Chebar, Tramando, and Wanama.", is merely "very brief", not trivial, because it was published in a real book and because it identifies these firms as "top fashion firms" and that, therefore, this supports notability. This claim surprises me because it appears to run counter to my own plain language reading of WP:GNG, which requires "significant coverage" as elaborated in the footnote, and of WP:SPIP, which requires that the works "focus" on the topic.

I do not question our guidelines nor do I seek to change them. I am here only to seek guidance in understanding them so that I may follow them correctly. I do my best, but I am human and I make mistakes. If I have misunderstood what constitutes significant coverage, I would like to correct that. Requesting comment, please.
