College athlete that does not appear to meet the criteria laid out in WP:NCOLLATH or in WP:GNG. The coverage is limited to stats pages, routine local coverage of high school sports games the subject played in, a single human interest story from a local Dayton, Ohio news outlet, and local coverage of winning an award from the West Virginia Sportswriters Association. Appears at first glance as a mostly fluff page written by an acquaintance of the subject. nf utvol (talk) 23:55, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Odman was senior executive and founder of several online gaming companies. None of these companies seem to be notable; in any case, they do not have a Wikipedia article. The references in the article about Odman are mostly publications from his own companies and interviews in online gaming publications. I cannot find enough substantive, independent coverage about him to pass WP:GNG. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 23:07, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. There was a followup report last month [1] which placed blame for the crash on local authorities and the bus company, the Jiajun Transport Company. The news report is by Xinhua News Agency, but this is regular, factual reporting so it should be okay for saying there was an investigation that blamed X and Y factors. Very similar reports appear to have been printed in a number of Chinese language newspapers, but they don't go any more in depth than that (judging from Google translate). If we had an article on the transport company or the highway I would probably support a merge there, but we don't and the sourcing is very much just primary news reports, not enough to pass NEVENT.

Given the lack of independent reliable sources throughout this article, I argue that the majority of this article falls under Wikipedia:NOTADVOCACY. Wikipedia should not amplify reports (such as the ISGAP reports and the NCRI report) whose only evidence is an established correlation and not causation. Citing subsequent reporting by the media that further dramatizes the conclusions made by these reports certainly does not help the factual accuracy of this page. Furthermore, there are many statements in this article about critics "speculating", showing that this article is not seeking to provide facts behind this matter, but is simply repeating the speculations of a thinktank. An encyclopedia is not the place to do this.
Overall, the article relies on the speculation of critics and thinktanks and lends undue weight to their reports whose only evidence is flimsy correlative studies. Manyyassin (talk) 16:03, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete An obvious COATRACK ESSAY that overwhelmingly deals with one issue and nothing else; it's one thing if this article talks about many effects, positive or negative, but this is just too much about one topic that does not feature many neutral sources. Nathannah • 📮 16:22, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. Easily meets WP:GNG with sources like [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]. A rename to something like "Foreign donations..." might be appropriate, since Qatar is the largest donor but other countries such as Saudi Arabia and China are also involved. The ISGAP/NCRI reports have been mentioned in reliable sources, so claiming that "Wikipedia should not amplify" them is puzzling. Also puzzling is the claim that the page "overwhelmingly deals with one issue" - yes, that is what a single Wikipedia page is expected to do. Other complaints about "undue weight" and "speculation" are content disputes about what should be in the article, not about whether it should exist. Astaire (talk) 18:38, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Just to clarify - I agree that this article meets WP:GNG. My contention is that I do not believe this is encyclopedic content. The central claim of the article is that Qatar is somehow causing antisemitism at American universities. There is no mechanism for this proposed, and the burden of proof is not met by the article's content or sources. This is unencyclopedic content matching the description in WP:NOTADV and its deletion would fall under WP:DEL-REASON #7. Manyyassin (talk) 19:29, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- I don't see anywhere in the article where the claim "Qatar is funding antisemitism" is being made in wikivoice. Where present in the article, this claim is always properly attributed to critics (although the sentence
This biased approach highlights positive aspects of Islam while sidelining balanced discussions about other religions, particularly Judaism.
should be rewritten to make it clear that this is the Lawfare Project's opinion). - If there are others who argue against these critics in reliable sources, then they should be included as per WP:DUE. Otherwise, since you agree that this topic meets GNG, this discussion is better suited for a place like WP:NPOVN. The article may need some reworking to put more emphasis on the facts and less emphasis on speculation, but it should not be deleted. Astaire (talk) 19:50, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- I'm not arguing it's not notable, but the balance on this article is so overtly against the issue that there is no opposing side and we require neutrality and balance. Nathannah • 📮 23:42, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- If you agree that it's a notable topic then what are we doing here at AFD? As I said above, this is a content dispute, not an argument for deletion. WP:NPOV says that articles should represent
fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic.
If you don't like the current balance of opinions in the article then add some opposing opinions that have been published in RS. Otherwise this is just WP:ITSNOTNEUTRAL and WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Astaire (talk) 16:40, 22 April 2025 (UTC)- This isn't just WP:NPOV. The burden of proof is not met and the speculations made by the thinktanks are not verifiable. There is no onus on the other side to refute these claims and balance out the article; the lack of evidence means these claims shouldn't be here in the first place.

The article attempts to describe the topic from a NPOV, but I do think WP:UNDUE weight is given to the subject of antisemitism and Qatar's influence on it. However, the article meets WP:GNG, so it can be improved and balanced out. There's no reason to delete it.--DesiMoore (talk) 14:35, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Merge (selectively) into Solko van den Bergh, his father, where Gerard is missing entirely.

- Keep per WP:BASIC and WP:HEY. After expansion and referencing, there is enough coverage to piece a good article together and sufficient context for a permanent biography. As others pointed out, it's still not ideal, however, the subject is long dead so BLP does not apply by any stretch of the imagination. gidonb (talk) 19:56, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

- That’s not completely true. I think you’re not an expert in this field. He was not only just simply “an Olympian”. He’s a multiple world championships medalist and had a sports career of at least 12 years at the highest level. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 20:53, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

- Note I see in Dutch newspapers he represented the Netherlands at many more international tournaments. There is also coverage about him in the major national competitions. I will add the coming days when I have time. For instance what I saw when scanning some of the many many articles content that is not yet in the article: large amount of international and national competitions, 1913 master shooter, secretary and treasurer of National Netherlands Pistol and Revolver Association, over multiple years, He was the corps gunner. Some might still argue these are not the most extensive articles yet. True, but there is many more and in my opinion writing his entire career with such content I think WP:Basic apply “If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability”. I will see if my assumptions is true when I have time writing it. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 21:17, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- They still need to have WP:SIGCOV, which these are not. The first of these is a single-sentence mention ("De Heer G. v. d. Bergh te Looisduinen verwierf het meesterschap mit 48 cartons", which in machine translation reads "Mr. G. v. d. Bergh of Looisduinen wins the championship with 48 cartons [presumably this is "cartridges"]". The second is just a bare mention of his name. The third discusses a mister S.J. van den Bergh - not the same person, and a G.A. van den Bergh who is also not necessarily the same person, giving no real coverage to either. Ditto the fourth link. FOARP (talk) 23:06, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- My Dutch is reasonably good, but cartons stumped me a little - presumably because it is a shooting term and I know little about shooting. But I do know that in revolver shooting, cartridges is probably wrong, and this term probably pertains to the target, which would be a card. In the first sentence there is a 60 shot card (kaart) that scores 480 points, because that would be a target card with concentric rings. The second sentence refers to a revolver event that is lower scoring, and I presume "cartons" refers to a simple hit on target. My translation of the whole paragraph would be: "One becomes a master pistol shooter by achieving at least 480 points on a 60-shot target. Mr. A. Bouwens from The Hague achieved this result with 508 points. One becomes a master revolver shooter on a master target-card of 60 shots, on which 45 successful hits were achieved. Mr. G. v. d. Bergh from Loosduinen achieved the mastership with 48 successful hits. Also in the Vaderland and Loosduinen competition, there was good shooting and many standings were improved." In any case, it is not SIGCOV. It is a one sentence primary source news report of a competition score. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:39, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete per FOARP and because we do not have sources for an article. I don't think merge is in order, as we don't have anything really to merge there. I would consider an appropriate redirect, but not entirely sure that redirecting to his father is the best target. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:45, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- After the article has been expanded significantly, I don’t see this as a valid reason anymore. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 10:18, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Note I expanded the article using Dutch newspaper articles. I’ve studied the first 130 article of the 1609 search results. When I have time, I can continue writing about him. At the time of moving the article to draft space it was this versus [13] this as the current version.
- Article is significantly expanded after nomination. Keep per WP:Basic “If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability”. Note, the info in the article is from newspaper prose, so not just from listed sports results. Also note, during the early 20th century newspapers only had a low number of pages and short sports article. One or several sentences about him in such articles are not trivial mentions. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 10:28, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- WP:BASIC's next sentence reads:
Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.
It is interesting that you found sources such as the suggestion his shooting was off on the day because of a strong wind blowing, but this is a primary source. Everything else is too. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:40, 28 April 2025 (UTC)- Newspapers are reliable sources. Newspapers are not always primary sources. As writing the results is primary, giving an analysis in a later article is secondary “A secondary source provides thought and reflection based on primary sources, generally at least one step removed from an event. It contains analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts”. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 20:23, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- WP:BASIC's next sentence reads:
- Comment - Every single one of the sources added here is just a brief mention of van den Bergh. Simply cobbling together news-reports about sporting events that do not give significant to the subject of the article is not the way to write a biographical article and does not satisfy our notability requirements. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS. FOARP (talk) 13:13, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- As you like correctness, you should say “In my opinion simply cobbling together…” 95.98.65.177 (talk) 20:15, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, per the excellent expansion performed which satisfies NBASIC:
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability
. That an excellent article of ~600 words can be written here shows it satisfies this. We should especially realize the subject here, an offline era, 1910s-era world championship medalist shooter and national champion. It is likely that there would be further offline sources as well. Regardless, what we have should be sufficient to satisfy NBASIC, and further, I'll say that deleting this does not pose any benefit to the encyclopedia. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:55, 28 April 2025 (UTC)"That an excellent article of ~600 words can be written here..."
- Yes, truly our readers need to know what the wind was like in London in 1908... FOARP (talk) 15:13, 28 April 2025 (UTC)- Given that it was for that reason he had a poor 1908 Olympic performance, yes, it may be relevant to mention. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:15, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- It, specifically, was not given as a reason why he had a poor performance in the source used to support that statement. The piece does not say that his poor performance was the result of that. What it says is:
"Het schieten viel tegen, doordat de schuters geheel onbeschut waren tegen den dwars over de schietbaan saanden wind, welke zoo nu en dan gelijk een storm loeide. Voor de vreemdelingen vooral was dit schietterrein een groote handicap."
- Which in machine translation says:
"The shooting was disappointing, because the shooters were completely exposed to the wind blowing across the shooting range, which occasionally howled like a storm. For the foreigners especially, this shooting range was a great handicap."
- There literally isn't anything in that article about van der Bergh specifically other than listing him as one of "the shooters"
- And that's just that one sentence. There's other parts of the
"excellent"
article that have van der Bergh winning "bronze" and "silver" in 1911-12 at world championship events that didn't officially start until 1947. But this is what's bound to happen where you over-interpret sources that don't really say anything about the subject you are trying to write about. FOARP (talk) 15:26, 28 April 2025 (UTC)- You are accusing me of over-interpreting, while it’s just stating what reliable sources are stating. ISSF World Shooting Championships mentions the years as World Championships editions; and the most recent 2023 ISSF World Shooting Championships starts with “53rd edition”. Also the ISSF website list the pre WW-II events as World Championships. Apart from that there was good coverage of the event those years, and it was named world championships in sources see for instance here. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 20:15, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- It being recognised as one under the ISSF’s auspices is entirely retrospective, as is the idea that “gold”, “silver”, and “bronze” “medals” were awarded at it.
- There was no “ISSF world championship” held in 1911. It is also dubious that medals were awarded as such then.
- You have created an article that takes general statements about groups of competitors and mispresents them as true of the subject specifically, or relays opinions (
”first class”
) as if they were facts. FOARP (talk) 21:00, 28 April 2025 (UTC)- Im just writings what Olympedia is indicating. And note that at the early Olympics no medals were awarded. Have you for instance seen the gold silver bronze at 1903 ISSF World Shooting Championships. So stop blaming me please. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 21:56, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- The fact that these databases include what is essentially wrong information for statistical purposes is the entire reason why articles should not be based solely on them. FOARP (talk) 02:17, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- You shouldn’t base your reasoning purely on 1 sentence you found somewhere; as sources pre World War II are naming it World Championships and the governing body indicates that it were world championships. Also all other Wikipedia articles doesn’t agree with you. So it the general consensus is against you, don’t start shouting please. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 06:48, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

ISSF World Shooting Championships mentions the years as World Championships editions; and the most recent 2023 ISSF World Shooting Championships starts with “53rd edition”. Also the ISSF website list the pre WW-II events as World Championships. Apart from that there was good coverage of the event those years, and it was named world championships in sources see for instance here. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 20:15, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- It, specifically, was not given as a reason why he had a poor performance in the source used to support that statement. The piece does not say that his poor performance was the result of that. What it says is:
- Given that it was for that reason he had a poor 1908 Olympic performance, yes, it may be relevant to mention. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:15, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Absolutely nothing even close to approaching a source containing IRS SIGCOV as required by SPORTSCRIT. BASIC is not met through trivial and primary coverage, and does not make a topic exempt from the SC5 requirement anyway. That a litany of trivial mentions in rosters and primary results and extrapolation from indirect commentary can be spun into 100s of words of prose is exactly why the state of the article is completely irrelevant to determining notability. We dismiss precisely this kind of routine, trivial coverage when assessing notability for modern athletes, why on earth would we make an exception for those from the 1920s (especially when they were nowhere near as competitive as modern Olympians)?1.

- Note I further expanded the article, most notably that he was the president of the Dutch shooting association and that he was co-founder of the Union Internationale de Tir (nowadays called International Shooting Sport Federation). 95.98.65.177 (talk) 08:06, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Note And lets continue: Van den Berg is credited for the establishment of a "main moment in the history of the Royal Dutch Shooting Federation" by organizing a successful shooting tournament next to the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam where shooting was not included. [14] 95.98.65.177 (talk) 08:38, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- More brief mentions - including in Nazi occupation-era newspapers to boot. On this basis, what other articles could be written about totally non-notable people briefly mentioned by a Nazi-era newspaper? For example I see the same page mentions a competition for a military march which was won by a certain Willem Klinkert of Nijmegen: are they now notable? And what about the 20-30 other people mentioned by name on the same page? Can we now just trawl through sources like this and say "on X date NAME did Y[link]" without any source ever actually taking the time to discuss the topic in detail?
- I'm very sorry to go in to depth about this but WP:NONAZIS is actually a pretty serious rule: but did you not look at all at the stuff that's on that page? The speech by Anton Mussert about National Socialism? Did nothing strike you as amiss at all there? Or was your entire focus just on mining anything you could find for brief mentions to string something together here?
- In no other area is it thought acceptable to try to string together a narrative through brief mentions in literal Nazi press like this. FOARP (talk) 09:30, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Citing wikipedia Algemeen Handelsblad was an influential Amsterdam-based liberal daily newspaper published between 1828 and 1970. And according to the Dutch Wikipedia "During the first year of the occupation of the Netherlands by Nazi Germany between May 1940 and May 1945, Handelsblad initially opposed any interference by the occupiers... ...The paper excelled in veiled anti-German expressions, for example by unexpectedly interrupting mandatory war reports halfway through. As a result, the number of subscribers grew to an unprecedented level".
- I don't know the others people mentioned in the newspaper. They may or may not be notable, but that is not the discussion here (OTHERSTUFFEXISTS). Here we are trying to find consensus regarding to this specific person.95.98.65.177 (talk) 09:56, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- So the bit where on the same page it describes repeated applause for statements like "We owe our lives to Adolf Hitler" ("ons leven habben wij te danken Adolf Hitler") - that not spark even the slightest concern on your part? Not even a bit? FOARP (talk) 10:13, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

"Naar wij in De Scherpschutter lezen heeft...."
("As we read in the "De Scherpschutter"...). Literally a report from the in-house magazine of the KVvNS. Not independent. FOARP (talk) 10:36, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Note I expaned the article regarding the 1900 Summer Olympics where he won the boys 200 meter rifle event. NOC*NSF is paying attention to this victory and there is still an ongoing discussion about giving Van den Bergh recognition as an Olympic champion. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 12:43, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- This is, yet again, another passing mention in a long list of names (
"Het IOC erkent deze niet als olympisch, omdat dit wedstrijden waren voor professionals (Meijers en Cordang) of een jeugdwedstrijd (Van den Bergh)"
or in machine translation"The IOC does not recognise these as Olympic, because these were competitions for professionals (Meijers and Cordang) or a youth competition (Van den Bergh)."
) - What would be helpful, instead of these repeated updates, is to identify one (1) source that actually covers van den Bergh in detail, such as a multi-paragraph biographical article or obituary. FOARP (talk) 13:01, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- It depends which article you mean, De Sportwereld has a long list with names, the other articles are about 4 people including Van den Bergh. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 13:56, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Frankly I'm just tired of pointing out the same thing over and over so this is the last time I will bother: the other articles only briefly mention van den Bergh (de Volksrant: "...en de schutter Gerard Anne van den Bergh, die met militair geweer over 200 meter bij de junioren de beste was", OmroepVenlo: "...en de winnaar van 200 meter militair geweer bij de junioren Gerard Anne van den Bergh."). These are passing mentions. What is need is significant coverage, such as, for example, a multi-paragraph biographical piece or obituary. Let me know if you find something like that. FOARP (talk) 14:16, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- I'm just doing some research and list notable aspects of this person. But thanks for your comments.
- A multi paragraph biography is indeed welcome, but not necessarily necessary, because in that case the WP:BASIC guideline wouldn't be needed with: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". 95.98.65.177 (talk) 14:46, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Look, no! You are going about this the wrong way. And I don't wholly blame you. It is a common problem. But Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, a tertiary source. That is by policy and design. What it is not is a history project. If you scrape together whatever you can from primary sources about the subject, and synthesise these into an article, what you are doing is that you are writing the biography. You are writing the secondary source here, because you are carrying out a history project. And if we were hosting history projects, that would be excellent work on your part.

Through a web search, it doesn't appear that this is a notable company. I've found some web articles [18][19][20], but with a quick read, I'm concerned about significant coverage (i.e., commentary, analysis, etc.) of the company's services within those sources, per WP:CORPDEPTH.

- Delete The article reads like an advertisement or product description rather than an article, which is not acceptable in Wikipedia's standards. In addition, there are just three references; one by the company's own page, an article in a technologic publication and a product review. These are not enough to consider the company to be notable. Just to be sure, I searched for more inependent sources on the company to possibly add later on, and found almost nothing beyond brief mentions. NeoGaze (talk) 15:09, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: The first link Anerdw is an entire book evaluating the subject pedagogically and without any apparent COI. The other links Anerdw provides aren't that crazy notable, but also do very much offer significant coverage. The second link nom (Bridget) provides is a long PCMag review, and it does provide analysis (e.g.
was disheartened not to have access to snapping guides for centering and aligning
); I doubt nom's interpretation of CorpDepth anyways:Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product
. Even without analysis, description would be enough under the "or". To me, CorpDepth is just something that excludes e.g. "articles" whose only independent content is routine stuff like "Company got $1 billion in founding round B, 14% of which was from famed Corpo C. Additionally, 43% of this contribution was from Corpo D, while 18% was from famed VC...." etc. Any coverage thatprovides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization
should qualify for the SigCov criteria. In my experience, the precedent at AfD is that tech publications and product reviews are not disqualified form notability considerations, and such is also the opinion of the oft-cited essay WP:NSOFTWARE.

I am not voting due to a possible conflict of interest, though if there are no true votes from anyone else, the article should not be soft deleted. Instead the standard procedure is to redirect a deficient album article to the band's page as an alternative to deletion because the title might be a search term by an interested reader. I am unapposed to this outcome if it comes to that.

- Redirect to Israeli land and property laws#Absentees' Property Laws. Per nom, there isn't enough WP:SIGCOV in WP:RELIABLESOURCES to justify a standalone article on the subject.--DesiMoore (talk) 23:26, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- If consensus supports that, then I would support the merge to Israeli land and property laws#Absentees' Property Laws as you suggest. Iljhgtn (talk) 03:35, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect (nominator here), updating my !vote to reflect the positive and most recent suggestions that instead of a full delete that the subject article title be redirect instead to Israeli_land_and_property_laws#Absentees'_Property_Laws. This is a good suggestion and the best AtD. Iljhgtn (talk) 14:58, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment as the editor who suggested merge and redirect as an ATD:
- First, biographical coverage of the article subject appears limited, but his work is covered in great detail in a few sources, for example here at 69 et seq. Every time the word "custodian" is mentioned in relation to that period it means this one person.
- Second, the more important topic is the initial redistribution of seized property, which is addressed at the target article but in an extremely clinical manner despite the lengthy quotes. The focus of that article is not history, but a series of statutes and institutions. I'm not sure how the merge would sit within that article but perhaps a short paragraph about the initial seizure and redistribution would be appropriate.
- I still think this article is fine as a stub. It could be appropriately rescoped into an article about the custodian's office -- I'm not knowledgeable enough or in a position to devote time to doing it, but IMHO that would be the best thing for the encyclopedia.

I could find no reliable independent sources with significant coverage of the subject, thus does not meet WP:BIO. His academic career does not meet any of the criteria of WP:NPROF and neither of his books appears to have had sufficient impact such that WP:NAUTHOR might be achieved. Article has been repeatedly published in mainspace from draftspace in spite of the absence of solid sources and references, and the tone is very promotional.

- Comment: there are several problems with this nomination, although none of them should stand in the way of merging with either a list of faculty or with another article about Elon University.
- AfD isn't the right forum for initiating a merge discussion. Proposed mergers should be discussed on the talk pages of the articles in question. Merger is not deletion.
- Whether there are sources discussing a list of things is not relevant to whether such a list can or should exist on Wikipedia; it is enough that at least some of the subjects of the list are independently notable (of which at least one appears to be here), and that they form a logical intersection that would be useful to readers (i.e. a natural list, not a random intersection, such as left-handed North Carolina chess champions who like Limburger cheese). If none of them were individually notable, then we might want a source discussing them as a list.
- How does this article involve WikiProject:West Virginia? The university isn't in West Virginia and doesn't appear to have any special connection to the state, which isn't mentioned in either this or the main article, or in any of the articles about its presidents.
- All of that said, the list is fairly short, only three of the linked articles have been written (one of which is basically a stub, while another reads more like a résumé, but these can be fixed), and can easily be merged with a more appropriate article, without losing any of the contents.

Hi, I created the page. It was reviewed in PC Pro, Retro Gamer and Crash magazines. It's a proper boxed manufactured product. It served as continued reading from the ZX Spectrum Vega+ article. The mag reviews mention Vega+ (notorious product). Happy if you think it belongs elsewhere but I'm unsure if it's defined as an actual clone (a "copy"), as per merging it to the ZX Spectrum clones page mentioned above. Isn't clone defined as around the same hardware? I am familiar with N-Go and it's a clone of the ZX Spectrum Next machine, for instance. Revolt (talk) 13:26, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

This article has been unsourced since 2023, all the Raj-specific sources I could find are unreliable, and people searching this are more likely looking for Satoru (which, to be fair, IS hatnoted but still).

This YouTube channel does not meet the inclusion criteria. After reviewing the cited sources, it is clear that there is a lack of significant, independent, and reliable coverage necessary to establish notability. The first two sources are interviews with the subject, which are inherently not independent and cannot be used to demonstrate notability. The third source, published by the University of Münster (uni-muenster), also fails the independence test, as the host of the YouTube channel appears to be an alumna of the same university. The fifth source cited in the article does not mention the YouTube channel at all. Junbeesh (talk) 08:16, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Websites and Germany. Junbeesh (talk) 08:16, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
Keep. I fixed a broken link which was the reason why the fifth source was being claimed as irrelevant. In addition, the idea that writing about an alumna is a conflict of interest seems spurious to me. This seems like the same idea as arguing that academic journals are default biased by focusing on a specific topic; the topic here is just "alumni/ae of the University of Münster" instead of something like "education". Mcavoybickford (talk) 12:40, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Appreciate you fixing the broken link. That said, the source is just a directory/listicle that briefly mentions Easy German among other channels. It is only a few lines with no real depth and would not count as significant coverage by Wikipedia standards for establishing the subject's notability.
- And yes, the uni-muenster article does not seem to be independent. It is full of quotes from the subject and there's even a disclaimer at the top stating This text is taken from the alumni|sponsor magazine of the university newspaper 'wissen|leben,' summer semester 2022 issue. That magazine features stories submitted by their own alumni. Anyone who attended the university can send in their story to be featured.
- Wikipedia expects significant coverage to be both substantial and independent of the subject, which isn't the case here. Junbeesh (talk) 07:13, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

The review notes: "Star Wars Jedi Quest: Path To Truth ... While the novel is mainly aimed at the 9-12 set, older readers interested in the "Star Wars" universe will find this book interesting, if a little slower than the more adult-oriented novels."
- "The Way of the Apprentice review". Canadian Review of Materials. 2002-10-18.

- Szadkowski, Joseph (2001-08-11). "Weapon Kosher deployed to fight the Evil Produce". The Washington Times. Archived from the original on 2025-04-14. Retrieved 2025-04-14.
The review notes: "3. Star Wars: Jedi Quest, No. 1 (Dark Horse Comics, $2.99). If Anakin is to become a Jedi, he must follow the teachings of his master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. One of the first steps on the long and intense journey to becoming a Jedi is to overcome fear, and the young former slave who now trains to be a Jedi has encountered more than his fair share of fearful elements in the universe. Now, as a Jedi-in-training, Anakin accepts a mission that will force him to confront his deepest, darkest fears - first on a spiritual training exercise, and eventually face-to-face with the memories that haunt him most. The force permeates through 32 pages of Kenobi-inspired color. Why should I (the consumer) care? This four-issue miniseries provides a graphic companion to the Jude Watson's Bantam Star Wars novel of the same name, being released later this month. Readers will get the background on a 12-year-old Anakin Skywalker as he learns the Jedi craft, battles space pirates such as Krayn the ugly, builds his lightsaber and develops a personality only the Dark Lords of the Sith would admire."

Wow, I remember reading this book. It wasn't very good but that doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't notable. Kevin J. Anderson's first novel in the SW Extended Universe, was it?EDIT: I am clearly thinking about Jedi Search, not Jedi Quest. I see that the only two sources listed in the article are TheForce.net. Let's see if we can do better. I don't think that the fact that any individual book in the series had a brief review in an RS necessarily proves the series' notability. I'd rather see an analysis of the cultural significance of the series overall.In this case, we've got our work cut out for us what with the Anderson novel of the same name jamming the search results.Darkfrog24 (talk) 15:36, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment - "Bruh?" You know Q+A interviews are not acceptable for passing GNG yet you insist on providing them as sources at AFD. In your "few mins" search you've managed to link the same an.no article twice. (BTW what's behind the paywall? Can you tell us what is contains?) Dougal18 (talk) 09:42, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- I can't get past the paywall either, but the headline reads: "Tough months for Lucas (20). I don't blame anyone." The second heading reads "Lucas Kubr had to have ankle surgery last fall. Now he's getting better and better every day." So it looks like a mix of news reporting of the slow return to form of a player with an injury, and interview with him ("I don't blame anyone" clearly being his words). The source is primary on one count or the other. I don't see how that can be counted towards notability. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:32, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Sirfurboy:, @Clariniie:, Idk how secondary coverage combined with interview would not count... using that black and white logic all newspaper/magazine interviews mixed with secondary coverage with anybody (like [49] or [50]) would not be counted towards anything... First source: ("Lucas Kubr is now showing it in Brno, where he found his first Czech contract at the age of 20 with second-league Zbrojovka. It came after a two-year stint in Norwegian Bodö/Glimt, for which he is grateful, but he did not want to be dragged off the substitutes' bench any longer... Both as a person and as a football player, Lucas Kubr grew up in the family of Prague native Martin Kubr in Belgium near Genk, in a region crazy about cycling... He didn't enjoy pedaling. But he was fascinated by football"), Second source: ("He is finally enjoying football again, and to a significant extent. Lucas Kubr desperately needed a lot of time on the pitch. After a season in which he played only a minimum of matches for the Norwegian team Bodo/Glimt, the left-back only welcomed the summer offer from Zbrojovka. He plays regularly for the Brno club, often in the starting lineup, and on Friday he even enjoyed his first goal in South Moravia against Slavia B. It was enough for a 1:1 draw. The 20-year-old player has mixed memories of his time at the elite Norwegian club. He gained valuable experience from an interesting destination, and at the beginning of last season it looked like he could make a significant impact. He started Bodo/Glimt's journey in the preliminary rounds of the European Conference League on the bench, from which he also watched the successful double match against Bohemians Prague, but that almost ended Kubra's anabasis in the first team. He only played in two cup matches, only collecting starts for the Norwegian club's reserve team. He welcomed his summer return to the Czech Republic, even though he is not currently experiencing many happy moments with Zbrojovka. The Brno team is still stuck in the relegation positions in the second league"), Third source just from the section without paywall: ("Grandma is from Palermo. Mom is Belgian, dad is from Prague, aunt is German. He was born near Genk, Belgium, and plays above the Arctic Circle in Norway... he rushed to Prague to visit his grandfather, who lives alone in a large house above Smíchov"), Fourth source: ("He lives an extraordinary life. With a Czech father, an Italian mother, a birthplace in Belgium, a current position in Norway beyond the Arctic Circle and a secret desire to become the new David Jurásek. Lucas Kubr (19), do you know him? The fast left-back from Bodo/Glimt was only recently discovered for domestic football by coach Radek Bejbl. The native of the Flemish city of Tongeren is an option for Jurásek's position in the newly formed U21 national team for Jan Suchopárek... Attention, a few days ago the youngster was close to being loaned out to the Czech league, according to iSport information specifically in České Budějovice. But the whole thing is said to have fallen through. It is still possible that the nice guy Lucas Kubr will arrive in the Czech Republic at the beginning of August with the Norwegian team for the rematch of the second preliminary round of the Conference League at Letná against Bohemians. Even if as a substitute"), and the fifth and sixth sources definitely have secondary coverage behind paywall. On top of this I can even find more sources and he will definiftely get more as his nascent pro and international career progresses. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 23:58, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - The added sources are just match reporting and other primary reporting. For GNG we need multiple independent reliable secondary sources. We don't have those.

- Thanks for the comment. In answer to your question, it is passing anyway, but no - the problem is that even if you have a match report that has something that scrapes through SIGCOV by describing a good game that the player had, the account of the match is a primary source. Someone has watched the match and written down what they saw. The very definition of a primary source. Many people seem to assume that such accounts show notability (and such people have perhaps never !voted to delete an article in any AfD ever), but notability is shown when someone takes such accounts and writes a source that synthesises them to tell us something biographical of the player. For instance, if someone takes multiple accounts and describes how the player pioneered a new attack, or somesuch, then the synthesis and biographical account will be a secondary source demonstrating that the player is not just a player but a notable one.

- Keep This report includes detailed analysis of his background and movement between Norway and the Czech Republic. This short article gives details on his personal background. This article is an extended profile. Easily satisfies GNG/BIO. Also there is simply no community consensus that match reports can per se be discounted as "primary"; it is simply not that binary. A match report can contain all sorts of information referencing past match histories, player interactions, differences between matches in a current season, coach/player styles, coach/player development etc. A match report which contains detailed analysis of a particular player's contribution could well count *towards* notability. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 05:10, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Match reports certainly are, prima facie the epitome of primary sources. They are an eyewitness report of a match. Your point, I think, is that even primary sources may contain information that may be considered secondary, depending on the question asked. An example from an unrelated area: a PhD thesis is a primary source, but a thesis studying a school might contain historical background of the school culled from other sources, and that background might be secondary. That does not make the thesis a secondary source. But when I said the sources were match reporting and other primary reporting, I did not assert a "binary" at all. I specifically said that what I read was primary reporting. So, let's look at these.
- Your first example [51] is certainly match reporting from paragraph 4 onwards. Paragraph 1 is the writers introduction, includes a primary quote and a writers opinion "he enjoys football again". No secondary information. Paragraph 2 likewise. although "he gained valuable experience by..." is not about this match, it is the primary opinion of the writer, it is not a collation or analysis of any sources. Paragraph 3 likewise and has quotations from the subject, which are neither primary nor independent.
- Your second [52] is, as you say, very short. It also is evidently written from an interview response. I don't see how that can tell us anything about notability.
- I'll have to come back to source 3 and the four that Das osmnezz wants to discuss above as I am out of time. Potentially an extended profile is relevant, and is not just match reporting, but I'll note cautions that (1) it contains interview material - which does not preclude it being good, but must be considered appropriately per WP:IV (2) independence needs to be considered. What is the occasion of the document? (3) we need multiple sources.

I specifically said that what I read was primary reporting. So, let's look at these.
- Comment "a PhD thesis is a primary source" - that statement does not reflect community consensus; WP:SCHOLARSHIP:
as they are often, in part, primary sources.
(my emphasis) In other words, not always and if so, partially. Thus, case by case analysis is required, which is my point above about match reports. Unfortunately, this is again a demonstration of turning elements of our guidelines into binary black and white frameworks. It denies that our guidelines are designed to have flexibility and not be absolute. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 00:00, 29 April 2025 (UTC)- How you can read what I said and think I am asserting a "binary black and white" framework, when I very specifically made the point to say the opposite, is beyond me. I literally made the point that the research is a primary source for the research/thesis being defended, but contains secondary information if the question asked of the source is different. But if you think that an eye witness match report is not prima facie a primary source, then you have some more reading to do. If someone watches a match and writes about the match, then what they are writing is an eye witness account. Now to the sources I said I'd come back to, I'll look at Das osmnezz's 4 first, and then at the third of yours that I ran out of time for.
- First source: [53] This whole source is an interview. See WP:IV
a person does not pass GNG if interviews are the only kind of sourcing they have
. In particular, all statements an interviewee makes about themself in an interview are primary, and cannot be used towards GNG. This includes the interviewer's summary of their response as you have quoted here. - Second source: [54] This is a match report, a primary source. You argue that, nevertheless, there is secondary information, such as "He is finally enjoying football again." While it is true that this is not exactly a description of his performance on the field, what it is is an opinion of the person watching. That person is presenting the match report, and their opinion that he is enjoying football again, is the eyewitnesses opinion. This is still primary. It is the primary opinion of the reporter. It is not a synthesis or analysis of primary sources. It is their opinion based on what they saw. As a matter of historiography, this is all a primary source. It tells us about his performance in the match, it does not tell us about the notability of the subject.
- Third Source: [55] - Again an interview. Now you pick up the statement "Grandma is from Palermo..." etc. These are statements of fact that can be safely used in an article, but it is clear that this was not researched by the interviewer from some primary source. The interviewer has asked the interviewee a question, and he said, in the course of his answer, that his grandma came from Palermo etc. The statement is reported as a fact, but the information has come directly from the subject during the interview. It is primary. It is probably reliable enough, but it tells us nothing about notability, as per WP:IV and P&G
- Fourth Source: [56] - This is another interview and also cannot be used to establish notability.
- "This article" source (the one I said I'd come back to): [57] This one has a write up about an upcoming match. The first thing to note is that the quotations from Kubr are primary regarding Kubr. That is, if he talks about himself, the information is primary. Halfway down the article, however, we get a little biographical detail - his Belgian/Czech story. This information clearly comes from him, but the occasion is what is important. Why are we getting his profile? The answer is simply that he is a new signing, about to get a start. It is a news story, but I do not believe this demonstrates notability. News reporting is primary, and although the background goes beyond the main news interest, the information presented has clearly been obtained from the subject themself in the course of an interview for the news story. I will, however, mark it as a
because others might wish to make a case for it. That case would need to take the occasioning of the article seriously. If one were inclined to accept it, however, this would still be the only source we have. WP:GNG requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources, so we are still short of GNG here. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk)

Article about a hockey player, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for hockey players. The leagues he played in, the American Hockey League and the ECHL, are specifically listed in WP:NHOCKEY as conferring notability only if the player "Achieved preeminent honors (all-time top-10 career scorer, first-team all-star)" -- but there's no claim being made here that he ever achieved any such thing in either league, and he hasn't been shown to pass WP:GNG either as the article is referenced entirely to content self-published by the teams he has played or worked for rather than any evidence of independent coverage in third-party media sources.
The article has, additionally, spent 18 full months with WP:BLP-violating nonsense like "He is currently an ambulance driver in Alberta. He once smiled, but really didn't like it. Chris also had the pleasure of providing the Rebels staff with water in their mouths." in it until I found and poleaxed it just now, which isn't a deletion rationale in and of itself but does speak to how many responsible editors have actually seen the article.

coverage isn't sufficient ... [for a] GNG-based exemption from WP:NHOCKEY
– ?? NHOCKEY is an inclusionary criterion, not an exlusionary one (and a broken one at that -- if you meet NHOCKEY, you may be notable if you pass GNG; if you do not meet NHOCKEY, you may be notable if you pass GNG). The only thing that matters is whether he meets GNG, and national coverage is not necessary for that. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:25, 21 April 2025 (UTC)- There's no such thing as a distinction between "inclusionary" and "exclusionary" SNGs. GNG does not just count up the number of media hits and keep anybody who's surpassed an arbitrary number, without considering the context in which the media hits exist — as I've said more than once, if GNG just concerned itself with the number of sources a person had, and didn't care about whether the context of what the person was getting covered for was actually of any broad or sustained public interest or not, then we would have to keep an article about my mother's former neighbour who once got a blip of media coverage for finding a pig in her front yard. (Hell, if all GNG cared about was the number of media hits that could be found, and didn't measure for whether the context of what those hits existed for passed any notability criteria or not, then I would even be able to claim that I qualified for an article.) So media coverage doesn't just have to hit some arbitrary number of clippings, and also has to verify passage of one or more notability criteria. Bearcat (talk) 18:23, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- The sport-specific sub criteria is just leftover stuff from before WP:NSPORTS2022 that wasn't participation based (all of the participation criteria was removed). None of the individual sport guidelines have been updated with replacement criteria so we're pretty much just left with skeletonized guidelines that offer unhelpful advice like likely to be notable if they've been inducted into the hall of fame. There's isn't even any guidance currently on football, gridiron football, or baseball. In regards to NHOCKEY, the only NHL guidance mentions first-round draft picks, which is obviously too strict given all of the blue links at 2017 NHL entry draft (and there's never been an overabundance of hockey players anyway). ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:58, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

- WP:SIGCOV does not exclude local coverage, and makes no mention of national coverage. Flibirigit (talk) 15:57, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Local coverage isn't excluded from usability, and I never said it was. But local coverage is not necessarily enough to hand a person a GNG-based exemption from normal inclusion criteria all by itself — unelected candidates are not exempted from NPOL just because they can show a handful of local campaign coverage in the local media of the area where they were running without any evidence of broader significance, actors who don't otherwise pass NACTOR's achievement-based criteria are not exempted from them just because they can show a handful of "local aspiring actor gets first bit part in movie" coverage in their hometown media without any evidence of broader significance, high school and junior league athletes are not exempted from the inclusion criteria for their sport just because they can show a handful of hometown local coverage without any evidence of broader significance, local bands are not exempted from having to pass WP:NMUSIC just because they got a few hits of "local band plays local pub" in their local newspaper without any evidence of broader significance, and on and so forth.
If a person is properly established as passing an SNG on an actual inclusion criterion, then we genuinely don't care whether their sourcing is "local" or "national" — but if a person's coverage isn't establishing passage of any specific inclusion criteria, and instead you're trying to argue that they get over GNG purely on the number of media hits that exist in and of itself, then a local vs. national coverage test does come into play, because lots of people can show some evidence of local coverage in contexts that don't pass encyclopedic standards of permanent international significance. Bearcat (talk) 18:23, 22 April 2025 (UTC)- WP:BLUDGEON and WP:WALLOFTEXT may apply here. Flibirigit (talk) 21:01, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- If the only coverage were a couple of articles from Neiszer's home town of Craik, Saskatchewan stating that he made it to a WHL team, I'd probably agree that he does not meet GNG. But he has much more extensive coverage from Red Deer, Alberta, which is not his home town (or even his home province) plus significant coverage from Las Vegas, Nevada, which is not even his home country. That's not to mention a lot of insignificant coverage in other newspapers in other ciites. So he actually has not only national coverage, but international coverage.

- Local coverage in the home market of the team he played for isn't sufficient in and of itself to give a minor-league hockey player a GNG-based exemption from WP:NHOCKEY. We'd have to see nationalizing coverage, not just the Red Deer Advocate alone. Bearcat (talk) 15:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep - Red Deer Advocate is a perfectly acceptable source for demonstrating significant coverage for notability, which has no "national coverage" requirement, and the Las Vegas Review-Journal provides an additional source of significant coverage. Rlendog (talk) 17:18, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Looking through the history of this article, it seems to have been an art project by the Belgian Bains::connective (an archive of their website). Their website seems to be the only source that has ever been in the article, and the article's original illustration was sourced to that site too. As you can see from that image (and old versions of the article and site), the art project also seemingly made some concerningly fringe connection with psychology/telepathy. More to the point my WP:BEFORE failed to find any coverage in WP:RSs covering this either as a feedback demonstration or as an art project, and thus I can't see this meeting WP:GNG.

After the July revolution in Bangladesh, it has become common practice for various individuals to form new political parties. Most of these parties have no national or regional influence, no organizational structure, no notable actions, are not eligible for registration with the Bangladesh Election Commission, and have not participated in any elections or established any offices. Prothom Alo has described such parties as merely nominal. Hundreds of parties have been formed, among which only the National Citizen Party (NCP) is considered notable. The current article is one of the many non-notable parties, as it has not received any substantial coverage from independent, reliable sources, nor is any notable person associated with it. The article is based solely on a press release announcing the party's formation. Wikipedia is not for writing about everything; this is why notability criteria were established. Due to the lack of coverage meeting WP:GNG (General Notability Guideline) and failure to satisfy WP:ORG (Organizational Notability), I propose that this article be deleted.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 13:50, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

While most of the coverage I found in my own WP:BEFORE is from local/regional papers (like that in The Avondhu of school extension project and alumni), there is some coverage in national outlets (like Irish Examiner and Irish Independent - granted largely "match report" style reporting that is not especially WP:INDEPTH on the school itself). If there is consensus that the school doesn't have independent notability, then (per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES and as an WP:ATD) I wonder if the title should be a redirect to Lismore,_County_Waterford#Education.

- Keep: Miscalculation is the key word of the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel. It happened twice, in 1973 and in 2023. It took a year and a half until the truth was revealed. I do not claim that Netanyahu was "right" or Bar was "right", but something very wrong happened in Israel due to this miscalculation. Furthermore, it is not a "neologism" but a word which exactly reflected the situation between Israel and Hamas. Israel wanted Hamas would be satisfied, and Netanyahu wrote it in his affidavit, but Hamas wanted to conquer Israel. Heads of Hamas said clearly that they would not make the attack if they knew the reaction of Israel and of the world (mainly of Trump). The history will judge. Dgw|Talk 12:35, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

LUGSTUB-a-like with no credible assertion of an WP:NSPORTS pass.
He competed at the Olympics, but merely competing is not an indicator of notability per WP:NSPORTS2022.
He competed at the 1903 Antwerp gymnastic tournament and the 1907 Prague tournament (which were not world tournaments, since these weren't held until 1931) as part of the French team. However Lux does not inherit the notability of his team.
The article incorrectly states that Lux received individual "medals" at the 1903 and 1907 tournaments. However, there were no individual awards at the 1903 or 1907 gymnastics tournaments - these weren't awarded until much later. Scores (not medals) were conferred retrospectively after 1922, and a retrospective score given years after the event purely as a statistical artefact cannot be an indicator of notability.

- Comment: I want to explain my nomination in more detail. After the July revolution in Bangladesh, it has become common practice for various individuals to form new political parties. Most of these parties have no national or regional influence, no organizational structure, no notable actions, are not eligible for registration with the Bangladesh Election Commission, and have not participated in any elections or established any offices. Prothom Alo has described such parties as merely nominal. Hundreds of parties have been formed, among which only the National Citizen Party (NCP) is considered notable. The current article is about one of the many non-notable parties, as it has not received any substantial coverage from independent, reliable sources, nor is any notable person associated with it. The article is based solely on a press release announcing the party's formation. Wikipedia is not for writing about everything; this is why notability criteria were established. Due to the lack of coverage meeting WP:GNG (General Notability Guideline) and failure to satisfy WP:ORG (Organizational Notability), I proposed that this article be deleted.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 14:04, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

The article incorrectly states that Hentges received "gold" in an individual event at the 1903 tournament. However, there were no individual awards at the 1903 gymnastics tournament.

François then followed in his father's footsteps as president of the club, his later resignation, and nomination to honorary life president. The gym/club later named a competition of some sort after François. I believe the second article details the competition or one iteration of it?

- Keep. No reason has been provided why the current sourcing is insufficient, and "There are a lot of parties in Bangaldesh" isn't a reason to delete the article. The quantity of parties doesn't matter; whether they have coverage does. Cortador (talk) 13:21, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, @Cortador: My first question is: do you know the Bengali language? This is important because the article is based entirely on Bengali-language sources. My second point is that I did not say "There are a lot of parties in Bangladesh," and therefore it is not notable. Please see my original nomination again. I would like to answer your question regarding why the current sourcing is insufficient. A large number of sources alone does not establish notability. As outlined in WP:GNG, to meet the General Notability Guideline, sources must provide presumed significant coverage and must be independent of the subject. WP:PRSOURCE clearly states that "A press release is clearly not an independent source." The current article is primarily based on a press release about the party's formation. The remaining sources simply mention how many parties have been formed. Not a single source cited in the article qualifies as providing significant coverage. Moreover, the most notable publication in Bangladesh, Prothom Alo, described these parties as merely nominal. If you find any source that provides significant coverage, please point it out, and I will withdraw my nomination.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 14:39, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I want to explain my nomination in more detail. After the July revolution in Bangladesh, it has become common practice for various individuals to form new political parties. Most of these parties have no national or regional influence, no organizational structure, no notable actions, are not eligible for registration with the Bangladesh Election Commission, and have not participated in any elections or established any offices. Prothom Alo has described such parties as merely nominal. Hundreds of parties have been formed, among which only the National Citizen Party (NCP) is considered notable. The current article is about one of the many non-notable parties, as it has not received any substantial coverage from independent, reliable sources, nor is any notable person associated with it. The article is based solely on a press release announcing the party's formation. Wikipedia is not for writing about everything; this is why notability criteria were established. Due to the lack of coverage meeting WP:GNG (General Notability Guideline) and failure to satisfy WP:ORG (Organizational Notability), I proposed that this article be deleted.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 14:04, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- I agree with your pov. Can you check my original comment and consider a redirect. This will further help in expansion of an already existing article with 3-4 lines in the Unregistered parties section of List of political parties in Bangladesh for the subject which mentions Bangladesh Popular Party as well. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 21:30, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect It is unregistered as Owais Al Qarni said. The influence can be disputed here as some sources suggest that they are now having a big regional network or a party influence in several local areas (I am not sure if we can call it that as it is unregistered/unrecognised by legal system). Thus, I suggest for merging it with List of political parties in Bangladesh as unregistered parties section mentions it at the top. A 3-4 lines paragraph can be added if needed. Upon searching to check notability by reliable sources, some mentions in English sources found are - [64] a source solidifying the nominators comment,[65], a mention of the party, [66], an independent separate mention.

- Comment - the article has an interesting history to be aware of. It was created by a now globally locked account, part of the "Put Radzyn on the map" campaign to promote the town of Radzyn.

- Weak delete - After going through all the sources in the article, and conducting an online BEFORE search, here's what I found: quite a few hits for this photographer, but they are press releases, or event announcements, and photo credits in various publications. A lot is taken directly from Wikipedia. It seems he is a much loved and respected local photographer, who has photographed a broad range of subjects. However most of the sources in the article are primary sources. Some of the citations that look like book reviews are actually synopses written by the photographer himself, and published by the Zwiazek Polskich Artystów Fotografików - Association of Polish Art Photographers, of which he is a member, so not independent. What I did find that contribute to notability are: He designed a stamp for Poland: [71]; review of one of his shows in a newspaper (which I think is local Wyborcza.pl LUBLIN): [72]; and this article, but it is unclear exactly what the publication is but appears it may be an academic journal, info: Młynarczyk, Tomasz. 2011. "Exhibition "Archive - Form And Light and Shadow". Archives – Kancelarie – Collections, No. 2(4)/ (December):195-219. https://doi.org/10.12775/AKZ.2011.007.

LUGSTUB with no credible assertion of an WP:NSPORTS pass.
He competed at the Olympics, but merely competing is not an indicator of notability per WP:NSPORTS2022.
He competed at the 1903 Antwerp gymnastic tournament (which was not the world tournament, since these weren't held until 1931) as part of the French team which placed second. However Lecoutre does not inherit the notability of his team.
The article incorrectly states that Lecoutre received silver in an individual event at the 1903 tournament. However, there were no individual awards at the 1903 gymnastics tournament. Scores (not medals) were conferred retrospectively after 1922, and a retrospective score given years after the event purely as a statistical artefact cannot be an indicator of notability.

This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}. |
- Of the sources that come close to meeting reliability standards, there's one acceptable source reporting one specific announcement (Pocket Gamer), one that's probably acceptable if rather unusual (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette), and one source that's deficient in multiple ways (Game Rant). I don't think this adds up to WP:GNG in a way that the article can be primarily based on reliable sources.

- Partial merge to Sea turtle#Conservation status and threats. There is some information here (at Impact of sand loss on sea turtles#Effect on sea turtle habitats) that could be integrated into the existing article. The bulk is however well covered at Coastal erosion and Beach (which BTW is in a shocking state of referencing...) and/or constitutes essay-style padding. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:10, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Add: I hadn't even seen Threats to sea turtles, mentioned below. That is the obvious merge target. The fact that there are no less than three different large articles to which this material could be merged demonstrates that we really do not need another standalone production that consists of 2/3 duplication. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:04, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy keep: Per WP:CSK,
Absence of a deletion rationale
. Nomination is a single, unnecessarily bitey, sentence that does not constitute an objective deletion rationale based on policies & guidance. The maintenance template {{Term paper}} has been reasonably applied to the article. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 09:53, 28 April 2025 (UTC)- Comment - I should further say that I agree that the article as it stands could be shortened and the language tightened so as to focus more specifically on the topic in question, and better integrated into the encyclopedia using wikilinks to existing articles. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 09:57, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- "Speedy keep" is inappropriate because the article has obvious problems - rambling scope and massive duplication of content. Dissatisfaction with the nom statement (which I agree is not very informative) is no reason to toss a substandard article that will have to dealt with back into the pot. Or to put it differently, if this was to be "speedy kept" based on these spurious arguments, I would have it back at AfD with a more elaborate rationale within a day. Let's sort it out her and leave out the unproductive process-lawyering. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:13, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

- Speedy keep I agree with SunloungerFrog, there is no valid deletion rationale given here and the nom is likely to dissuade the editor who created the article. It's been less than a day since the article was tagged "Term paper" --- at least give time for the author to update the article. There is clearly research out there, and probably enough to meet GNG on its own or enough to significantly add to similar articles on sea turtles or erosion.
- Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 10:55, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Whether or not an article is kept is decided by the sourcing situation, not by the current quality of the article. I also suggest the nominator should refrain from personal attacks against other editors in the future, and provide proper a deletion rational instead. Cortador (talk) 13:26, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy draftify The keep votes fail to advance any reason to keep the article, which is quite obviously a student essay that does not meet our standard for tone or content for articles. I urge the class instructor Use:Bcndz5 not to permit students to create in mainspace the pages listed at Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/IES Abroad Barcelona/The Climate Crisis - Global Perspective, Mediterranean Context (Spring), as basically none of these have appropriate encyclopedic tone or are appropriate topics for standalone encyclopedia articles, the worst of which being User:Jkraus1313/Floating Cities and Amphibious Architecture. Articles should generally not have specific titles with complex names like some of these. This article would be better trimmed of the background, irrelevant info like all of the Long-term impacts section, and essay-type fluff and the topic instead included at Threats to sea turtles. Reywas92Talk 14:48, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - I would be content enough with draftification to allow the creating editors a second pass and more time to work on the article, and ultimately to decide whether it is better to incorporate the content into an existing article. Courtesy ping to Bcndz5 as class instructor - I think the wikisource in Reywas92's comment above is missing an r. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 15:23, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. This is too specific for mainspace. The keep votes don't provide an argument why this topic is notable. Threats to sea turtles is sufficient enough. Esolo5002 (talk) 15:28, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep no specific mention in the nomination per WP:CSK mentioned by SunloungerFrog and a remark that can pass as a personal biting remark too "not a place to store your" with "suggest Google Drive" sounds like an attack or rant and goes against WP:GTD. Furthermore, the time period is not too long. Do give time and check more sources if they are added with allowing further edits by creator/editors. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 06:18, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- I wonder about the origin of this scurrilous notion that an "insufficient nom rationale" alone justifies a keep vote, when at the same time multiple commenters provide a number of valid rationales. Ignoring those is a peculiar type of non-constructive WP:POINTiness that may feel righteous but accomplishes nothing else. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:47, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Well, that is your pov and the nomination itself is WP:POINTY, and I have stated it is against WP:GTD which is constructive. Anyone should not get in arguments to make other's points lesser or present their own opinion as a better one. By the way, here is a great point from the same you pointed out-
- do not nominate an article for deletion that you don't really believe ought to be deleted, giving the same rationale. with giving no reasons it is the same as noted here.
- You can have your pov as long as it is not demeaning others and others can have theirs likewise. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 14:39, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT. Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. The event does not have in-depth nor sustained continued coverage of the event itself with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the accident. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks.

Practically everything that has been written to expand the article in order to prevent it from being deleted is false (other than the Thirty Years' War section). The previous user who withdrew their AfD nomination did not fact check any of the sources or information added. The article has been expanded incorrectly and mostly falsified (though it's likely, or at least I'd like to think, that it wasn't done on purpose and the editor who expanded the article just wanted to help improve it). If you wish to help improve the article, please use proper sources which correlate with the information written. Bubba6t3411 (talk) 05:59, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Article seems like it is better suited to be a paragraph under Jello's article.

- Keep - I agree with the last voter, as the band has relatively little coverage in feature articles but their albums are getting a lot of professional reviews from which some more band history can be gleaned.

This BLP article has been tagged for the use of unreliable sources since 2020. Wikipedia's strict standards for Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) require that all content be supported by reliable and verifiable sources. Upon review, I found that the article cites eight sources, six of which are entirely unreliable, including local book-selling websites, while another provides only a trivial mention. The article relies almost entirely on Nadvi, Jasim ad-Din (2019); however, no direct link is provided, and the reference appears to be from a user-generated website, which does not meet Wikipedia’s reliability standards. I considered removing the material cited from this user-generated source, but doing so would leave the article as little more than a one-line stub. Due to the lack of reliable, independent secondary sources, the subject fails to satisfy the notability guidelines outlined in WP:Scholar, WP:AUTHOR, and WP:GNG, and therefore, the article is not eligible for retention and should be deleted.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 03:07, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Savitech (traditional Chinese: 盛微先進科技; simplified Chinese: 盛微先进科技) does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria. Cunard (talk) 06:40, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep the article: I believe this article meets notability guidelines. savitech are the developers of the LHDC Bluetooth codec, one of only a handful of codecs certified by the Japan Audio Society for Hi-Res Audio Wireless. That’s a significant technical achievement and recognition from a respected industry body. These sources talk about Savitech and their codec in a substantive way, which supports notability beyond just a passing mention. As for the tone of the article, I agree some parts might read a little promotional — that can and should be fixed with copyedits. But promotional tone alone isn't a reason to delete the article outright, especially when the subject is clearly relevant in the tech/audio industry and verifiable with reliable sources. A cleanup tag seems more appropriate than deletion. Just to be transparent: I’m not affiliated with Savitech, nor have I been paid to write this article. I created it in my free time because I think LHDC is an underrepresented but notable technology in the wireless audio space. Happy to help improve the article further if needed.

The sources in the article are a company database (not sigcov), the company website (not independent), a press release (not independent), and a news article that is so blatantly promotional it is either a press release or a paid piece. I couldn't find anything better via a web search, just more press releases and the occasional passing mention. Toadspike [Talk] 21:20, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Subject does not appear to be notable per WP:NGO upon search. The current sources are either primary or not WP:SIGCOV, and the article seems to be promotional. Also, it seems that the article creator has a WP:COI with the subject, having only made edits to the subject's article. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 02:58, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

I have limited knowledge about the notability criteria for sportspersons. That being said, the subject does not appear notable to me. How is merely participating in an Olympic event sufficient for notability, especially when there are over 5,000 participants?–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 02:34, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

REDIRECT to Miss Universe Sri Lanka. Fails WP:GNG - the winner of a national beauty pageant (see WP:1EVENT) however apart from that there is no evidence of any other significant achievements. Failed to place at international level. Dan arndt (talk) 01:51, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Subject does not seem to be notable upon searching for reliable, secondary sources. Also, the creator of this article seems to have a undisclosed connection to the subject. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 13:00, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment Notability concerns aside, which perhaps others may address first, I would note as the original contributor to the article that the claims of connection to subject are unfounded and likely unnecessary to the PROD discussion. Giri was a popular quizmaster for many competitions I attended (with hundreds of other students), over 12 years ago, and the motivation to contribute came from that. I don't believe that qualifies as a close connection. Cheers Komodo (talk) 03:29, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: A borderline WP:G11 article. Reads like promotion. None of the sources cited are reliable or do anything to establish notability. Junbeesh (talk) 08:52, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: The article has been updated significantly. The promotional content was removed and factual information was re-written in a WP:NPOV tone. Further, primary and promotional materials citations were removed and independent, secondary and reliable sources from media coverage were added. Let me know if this doesn't address your WP:NOTABLE concerns or if you have any other feedback. Komodo (talk) 18:15, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: Article was significantly re-written to address concerns noted above for the article -- including secondary coverage and reliable sources, though I should note that WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Nonetheless, WP:NOTABILITY concerns should have been addressed as well with this coverage, but further information on why this article meets the criteria: (a) Significant coverage in reliable and independent sources: He has received coverage beyond simple announcements or listings. Sources like news outlets (Times of India, Deccan Herald snippets mentioning quizzes he hosts), articles about major events he leads (Tata Crucible coverage, TCS IT Wiz) but does not own, interviews (like in People Matters), and platforms featuring his talks (TEDx) constitute significant mentions in reliable contexts. While his company website or speaker profiles are primary or promotional, significant coverage exists independently. (b) Evidence of recognition and impact: His position as the quizmaster for the high-profile Tata Crucible quizzes since 2004 is a long-standing, nationally recognized role. Similarly, hosting the large-scale TCS IT Wiz/InQuizitive adds to this prominence. Greycaps, his company, has been described in multiple sources as one of Asia's largest in its niche. Finally, he is a frequent speaker, including on platforms like TEDx, that demonstrates a public profile and recognition in his field.

- Keep being the only prisoner of an entire country for several years is fairly unique. There is substantial in depth coverage from a quick seatch, and there is what appears to be sigcov in many books, not just news [86]. The news coverage also appears to be indepth. The 2021 piece is fairly indepth and a decent refutation of it being NOTNEWS. He was a diplomat, a fairly significant position, so there also appears to be coverage on that.
