This is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the
current main page.
Reason: Fsils
WP:NEO, based a single paper in The Astrophysical Journal published in August 2021. All pop-sci coverage, such as the other two references in this article, is about the same study.
Reason: In order to make this article more encyclopedic and less a
WP:DICDEF, we should start by changing the title from an adjective to the stock nomenclature that would refer to U4+ by itself. Presumably, the end product will be similar to
Iodide (I−), unless U(IV) complexes should be discussed as well, then I would rename it to
Uranium(IV) compounds and format it somewhat like
Palladium(III) compounds.
Reason: Ill-defined,
indiscriminate list that mixes real and fictional organizations ranging from the
Ku Klux Klan to
SPECTRE. Zero references apart from 2 about the real-life KKK, and a primary-sourced entry regarding The Da Vinci Code, and few entries that are notable.
Reason: A single science experiment with no reliable medical sources. It was initially redirected by
Alexbrn (
talk·contribs) in October 2017 after sequentially removing massive amounts of
WP:COATRACK and non-RS, but was unilaterally restored in December by
Ianneman (
talk·contribs) on invalid grounds that "[i]n the current climate of research, fully sourced discussion on this subject is impossible". Alexbrn recently did another trim and then PRODded the article, but was deprodded by
Custoo (
talk·contribs) without explanation.
Reason: Fails
WP:LISTN,
WP:IINFO. Only references are database entries or news articles about the films, mostly
Rotten Tomatoes pages, rather than documentation on
gold mining in popular culture. The two external links are top-10 listicles about mining in general. Oddly, there's no delsort about mining or extractive industries.
Reason: Prodded by an IP user with rationale, "We dont need an incomplete list of cruft about this." That is not a good ratioanle, but the deprod rationale by single-edit account
Aazph (
talk·contribs) was even worse: "Proposing for deletion of information about censorship is utterly ironically an act of censorship." Nonetheless, it probably fails
WP:LISTN, since coverage seems to be limited to a mass blocking of about 2500 porn websites in January 2017.
Reason:
WP:SMALLCAT, contains only main and 1 other article (
Hwan-guk) after removing an entry that didn't mention Hwandan Gogi. The latter page is already in the merge target.
Reason:
WP:NOTESSAY, user essay unrelated to Wikipedia. Does not technically meet
CSD U5 since the user has substantial contributions outside of userspace.
Reason: I have come to question the utility of the list, since
Minimax evidently does not air any original programming. Also, the vast majority of the list is unsourced. I'm unable to search efficiently for precedent, since the delsort archives are lagging my browser and the AfD archive search is clogged with pages from
a mass nomination incident in 2017, but I think we delete programming lists that are merely repackagings of programs on other channels.
Reason: Still an ongoing event. It is likely that it will continue into 2022, so
2019–2022 Ambazonian leadership crisis will likely be the optimal title instead by the time this discussion is finished.
Reason: This is hardly about "infinity plus one", so much as a brief rehash of several existing articles about different kinds of infinity. It would appear that "young people's ideas of infinity", as detailed at
[1], is a noteworthy topic, but the sources seem to focus only on infinity in educational contexts or on specific formalisms of infinity such as the
surreal numbers.
Reason: There are about 30 entries that are about specific fields or classes of fields, such as
Euclidean field and
Rational number. Several of the other subcategories in the
Category:Ring theory tree use the plural form as well.
Reason: What is an "unregistered public association"? Also, the listed merge target should not be a redirect to
Category:Non-profit organizations listed as a Russian foreign agent, especially one that is included in categories; any organizations that aren't nonprofits could go here.
Reason: Prodded twice due to lack of notability and
WP:DICDEF/
WP:HOWTO-level content. Fails
WP:GNG according to
Phil Bridger (
talk·contribs) and the anonymous first prodder, since all Google Scholar hits are co-authored by one V. Riznyk.
Reason: It's difficult to discern an overall
primary topic from search results; most of the search results don't match a Wikipedia article and are probably non-notable. However, of the two existing articles indexed on this dab,
Elliptic curve primality and the redirect listed on this page unambiguously trump the
Environmental Crime Prevention Program in
pageviews, so this fails
WP:2DABS. It is in fact possible that the latter topic is not independently notable from
Mario Scaramella, since none of the current sources are suitable for proving notability, but that will need to be discussed at its own AfD.Oddly enough, this dab page was created in 2006 with the algorithm and one never-created redlink, and for several years had an unliked, probably promotional entry as well. Only earlier today did I remove the two bad entries.
Reason: Prodded by
Xurizuri (
talk·contribs) with rationale The article is a description of a series of primary sources (
WP:OR). No reviews or other secondary sources could be located (
WP:N)., and endorsed by
Plutonium27 (
talk·contribs) due to
WP:NOTESSAY. Deprodded by
Jim Grisham (
talk·contribs) with rationale fix or merge as appropriate, which is inappropriate if the content is
WP:SYNTH and there are no secondary sources to back up the claims. Is any information
WP:DUE for inclusion in
Eyewitness memory?
Reason: Prodded by
Felix QW (
talk·contribs) due to lack of evidence that this is a coherent topic (
WP:SYNTH and
WP:GNG). Deprodded without explanation or improvement by
Jim Grisham (
talk·contribs).{{collapse top|From [[Talk:Non-classical analysis#OR?]]}}Do we have any sources for all these items being grouped under such a heading?
Tkuvho (
talk) 10:01, 11 November 2011 (UTC): I don't think we do actually, the distinction here clearly isn't in the non-classical logic sense, given the topics. And while there are many books on "Classical Analysis" it is not clear to me we should group these topics together because they are are not in these texts.
Thenub314 (
talk) 03:05, 13 November 2011 (UTC)::This is actually a nice umbrella term, although the list as its stands seems to be OR.
Felix QW has PRODded it, although I winder if draftification might be better until we figure out what to do with the idea. I'd be prepared to steward the article through AfC. —
Charles Stewart(talk) 12:42, 10 January 2022 (UTC):::In that case, I'd be happy to take back the PROD. I wanted to tidy up the page, as I couldn't figure any sensible grouping which included p-adic analysis and intuitionistic analysis but excluded non-standard analysis. So I did some research on the concept, and I only found one pertinent reference. That is a
philosophy paper by Harrison on Zeno's paradoxes, in which the author explicitly states that we he calls non-classical analysis is usually called synthetic differential geometry (p. 279 there). :::So I became convinced that the term isn't actually in general use, and since I couldn't figure out the inclusion criteria used here either, I thought it appropriate to PROD it.
Felix QW (
talk) 13:50, 10 January 2022 (UTC)::::It's a mess of OR (I don't suppose there is a reliable source that gives the same definition as in the lead) and false claims (all widely accepted constructive analysis can be formalised in ZFC). We're better off not having it in articlespace as it stands. I just think it isn't a terrible skeleton on which to build a defensible article. —
Charles Stewart(talk) 00:10, 11 January 2022 (UTC):::::Agreed! So how do we go about this?
WP:DRAFTIFY seems to suggest that we would have to go through AfD to draftify an "old" page?
Felix QW (
talk) 08:31, 11 January 2022 (UTC)::::::Wait for the PROD to run out. If it's soft deleted, I can ask to draftify it, if it's deprodded, I can list it at AfD. —
Charles Stewart(talk) 09:45, 11 January 2022 (UTC):::::::De-Prodded by
Jim Grisham already. Would you like to list it at AfD then?
Felix QW (
talk) 11:13, 11 January 2022 (UTC):::::::*OK, I'll start one before long. It occurs to me that redirecting to
Mathematical analysis#Other topics is simpler than draftifying. It's worthy of discussion. —
Charles Stewart(talk) 19:14, 11 January 2022 (UTC){{collapse bottom}}
Reason: Not mentioned in the current target or the former targets
Strain tensor or
Finite strain theory. There are tensors with Green's name attached to it, but those fail
WP:PTM.
Reason: Entirely weakly-sourced plot summary with no attempt whatsoever to establish real-world notability. I see evidence that there may be academic analysis of the setting, but that would require a rewrite almost from scratch. How would I judge this from
Google Scholar results?
Reason: The list has few sources and seems to fail
WP:LISTN. A large number of the entries are themselves non-notable as well. I usually tolerate plot-significant states in notable works, and sometimes also fictional things from non-works, but like many low-quality lists of fictional elements by type, many entries are mere passing mentions; from works that do not have articles, including books by redlinked authors; or places not even confirmed as US states. A good example of the latter is "North Montana" as a future version of
Canada in Meet the Robinsons, which is mentioned as a one-off gag and is never claimed to be part of the US — all that is said is that it "hasn't been called Canada for years."Aside from notability concerns, the article has serious problems with its scope. We have everything from purely fictional states (the ostensible topic, and same as
Category:Fictional states of the United States); fictionalized versions of real or proposed states, such as works where the proposed
State of Deseret became reality; various
alternate history or otherwise fictionalized versions of the US, such as scenarios where the
American Revolution failed; and
breakaway states formed from the US, such as fictionalized versions of the
Confederate States of America.
Reason: Rather misleading since the target is not necessarily a transcription of
aleph in a Semitic script, and especially since it makes it harder to describe
aleph numbers in mathematics.
Reason: Unreferenced microstub since 2015, with the only claim of significance being that it is the largest hotel chain in
Cambodia. I'm not sure how to discern notability for this topic area, but the search results I've found in English aren't promising. There may be sources in the
Khmer language, but no Khmer-language name or kmwiki article is given which could be searched.
Reason: Disambiguation pages are supposed to navigate topics with the same name, not similar topics. The contents are two
partial title matches, the target of the redirect at the base title, and
List of interplanetary voyages that is included for no reason except being a subtopic of the aforementioned.
Reason: Huge wall of over 5,500 articles and 340 categories, and 11 navboxes and sidebars, out of around 17,000 in
Category:Andhra Pradesh, is useless for navigation and burdensome to edit on some systems. There are still some articles about the state of
Telangana, created in 2014, that haven't been moved to the corresponding
Index of Telangana-related articles.
Reason: Huge wall of over 5,600 articles, 439 categories, and 5 navboxes, out of around 15,000 in
Category:Telangana, is useless for navigation and burdensome to edit on some systems. Some entries are anachronistic or misplaced, since the state was separated from
Andhra Pradesh in 2014.
Reason: Deprodded in an attempt to complete the list. This index is more narrow in scope than other country indices, focusing only on the core topics such as major cities, but
Outline of Uzbekistan already serves that purpose. There are nearly 40,000 articles in the
Category:Uzbekistan tree.
Reason: Not mentioned at target; only use on enwiki is an undefined term at
Bootstrap error-adjusted single-sample technique. Most search results are about commercial products not mentioned anywhere on enwiki.
Reason: We don't need both this image and
File:MarioKart8Boxart.jpg on the same article (Mario Kart 8) to represent two editions of the same game that are both covered in the article. Aside from that, this image is oversized and, if kept instead of the cover for the original MK8, should be reduced to no wider than 257 pixels.
Reason: Unreferenced, indiscriminate table, with context supported only by links obscured with
LaTeX math markup, e.g.
(
Gauss's constant). A user removed all the continued fractions at
List of mathematical constants in 2019 because it was causing excessive clutter. Can't find similar tables online, but not 100% confident that it fails
WP:LISTN.
Reason: Article about a company that seems to fail
WP:NCORP. All references are either dead or about their projects (e.g.
5 Beekman Street), not them. Notability is not inherited from designing notable or quasi-notable buildings. Note that the company name is sometimes spelled with an & instead of a +. The closest I could find to a notability-supporting source was
[2], which shows that they won an award that does not have a Wikipedia article for designing a
Park Hyatt hotel in Istanbul.
Reason: Created by
JFox 0931 (
talk·contribs), who has a history of questionable article creations about natural features in northern
Delaware, then PRODded by user
VickKiang (
talk·contribs) with rationale:
A questionably significant article without any refs that is an RS that I can find clearly includes original research that is required for the content. The ref provided is questionable and certainly not denoting "significant coverage", merely a database with a trivial mention of two sentences that "Bellevue Lake is near Wilmington. The most popular species caught here are Largemouth bass, Bluegill, and Black crappie. 309 catches are logged on Fishbrain." Indeed, most of the content of this article is original research, which fails a fundamental policy.
Deprodded by a user
Djflem (
talk·contribs) who thinks it should be redirected to another article, possibly
Stoney Creek (Delaware), instead of deleting it outright. Also, the article has poor spelling and capitalization, and unencyclopedic style.
Reason: Although the article primarily discusses United States, the topic is not inherently geo-specific and therefore should use standard
IUPAC spelling.
Reason: Is the
Zecharia Sitchin book The 12th Planet or
12th Planet (musician) the primary topic? This page should be moved to the base title if there is no primary topic; otherwise, it can be deleted per
WP:2DABS with one article having a hatnote to the other.
Reason: While grouping proponents of astronomy-related
pseudoscience is a coherent idea, I cannot find adequate attestation to this
neologism. Also, the new name would match other subcategories of
Category:Advocates of pseudoscience.
Reason: Fails
WP:SYNTH, as no reference presents it as a coherent topic outside of the history of a specific culture. Some references, such as
Ref. 1, mention some variant of the term in passing without clearly defining the or presenting it as a coherent topic; that reference distinguishes it from motorized vessels, while
Ref. 37 (already a dubious source) and
Smylie (2013) use it in the context of a specific culture, and
Ref 33 does not use the word traditional at all. Similarly, the vast majority of the contents of this article are a mishmash of various boat types and some
WP:OR, and it does not really provide a coherent definition of the topic. See also
Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_March_30#Category:Traditional_boats, which has similar concerns.
Reason: PRODded by the IP user 159.253.109.209(
talk·contribs·WHOIS) with rationale: Seems to be based on the work of one research group published in low-quality journals, most of the article describes only elementary physics. The author
Samsiq (
talk·contribs) deprodded the article without adequately addressing the concerns — the new section consists only of background information about
van der Waals forces and a description of two images with no clear relation to the section's topic; and contrary to the deprodder's assertion, "elementary physics" as defined by the IP includes basic
quantum mechanics. All references are from O. P. Kucherov et al. or are irrelevant to the ostensible topic.
Reason:
WP:SMALLCAT, most items were redirected to main between May 2020 and March 2022, and now the only non-main article is
Planck constant. The main article is already in both parents.
Reason: Abandoned,essentially content-free userspace draft that duplicates the topic of
2017 Northern India riots. It was created by a user who has not edited since February 2018, and most of whose other contributions were creating hoaxes.
Reason: Only non-primary sources are interviews and announcements, some in tabloids, and I'm not convinced that meets
WP:GNG. PRODded by
TenPoundHammer (
talk·contribs), who allegedly found no other usable sources in
WP:BEFORE, but deprodded by
Matt91486 (
talk·contribs), who added two of the current four non-primary sources.
Reason: PRODded by
TenPoundHammer (
talk·contribs) who claimed lack of notability, but subsequently deprodded by
NemesisAT (
talk·contribs) because the PRODder nominated too many articles in quick succession — 200, according to his count. But I have to agree with Hammer here — there are zero results about this TV show in
Google News.
Reason: Short-lived TV series that never got much attention. Only source is primary, and
Google News returned only a couple of passing mentions. One of 146 articles deprodded by NemesisAT due to concerns about mass-prodding.
Reason:
G4 TV show that lasted just under a year and returned zero hits in GNews. One of 146 articles deprodded by NemesisAT out of concern of rapid-fire nomination.
Reason: This is a difficult title to search, but there seem to be no obvious, relevant GNews results, and considering its very short run (<2 months) I'm convinced that it likely fails
WP:GNG. Only source is a book which I cannot check. This is a 1998 TV series that aired on
The WB; it has no relation to the 2012 CBS show also titled 3.
Reason: One of 146 articles deprodded due to rapid-fire nomination; the rest can be viewed at
this userpage, along with various other extremely low-quality articles. Tagged as unsourced since 2017, but it has never had any real sourcing since the creation in 2006.
Reason: Article is 100% overly-detailed plot summary and casting history, GNews entries are mostly tabloid-like material and recaps. Most references are primary or about the actress,
Finola Hughes. Likely fails
WP:GNG.
Reason: This list has over 5,000 entries, and despite being formatted as a plain list, is so long that I have trouble editing it. It is redundant to
List of years in American television, has few references to verify claimed debut dates, and the 2020s section has not been adequately updated to include all notable new programs. No other country has an equivalent list.
Reason: Unsourced,
indiscriminate,
fancruft list without any references. It is woefully incomplete, in part because it does not include any works with extraterrestrial settings — I can also name a show set in a fictional Arizona town (Clarence) that is not in the list. Although I have not investigated
WP:LISTN for any list of TV shows set in a specific real-world location, this combined list fails LISTN.
Reason: Although the channel has a near-worldwide broadcast area, Global is not a standard disambiguator for TV channels and networks, and is miscapitalized.
Reason: Contains only the main article and two subcategories which are incorrectly included —
nuclear fission and
nuclear fusion do not involve the weak interaction.
Reason: Entirely plot summary and fails
WP:GNG, was deprodded by a user who thinks it can be merged to The Tactful Saboteur. The deprodder added two merge tags, one to a nonexistent page, but did not open a merger discussion. I disagree, as there are no references.
Reason: PRODded by
Zxcvbnm (
talk·contribs), who noted the lack of sources that claime dthat it fails
WP:GNG. Deproded by
Spinningspark (
talk·contribs), who claimed (without improving the article) that this is definitely a thing seen in numerous martial arts films and provided an external link about the technique. However, neither
the source the deprodder provided nor
the existing external link in the article seem to be RS, and my search engine results offer no further sources about the technique under this name.The disambiguation page
Spin up (disambiguation) will need to be moved to the base title, even if this article is kept, since there is no primary topic.
Reason: PRODded by
Zxcvbnm (
talk·contribs) on concerns that this is largely
WP:DICDEF-level material and
WP:OR, and fails
WP:GNG. I have reason to believe that this is the case, but it was deprodded by
Lurking shadow (
talk·contribs), who asserted, without further justification, This isn't PROD material. Some content is also about specific products, failing
WP:IINFO. Note that some sources also spell it spin up or spinup.The first source is a manual for a
Western Digital product that mentions spin-up only in passing. The second is effectively an
informative advertisement from
Fujitsu, and is not
WP:RS.
Power-up in standby was proposed for merger in September 2014 by
Petr Matas (
talk·contribs), but no merge discussion was opened and the tag was removed in July 2017 by
Klbrain (
talk·contribs).
Reason: Fails
WP:DICDEF. Most content is
WP:OR or about a
Western Digital product, and all current sources are from Western Digital manuals. I'm not fully convinced that it either meets or fails
WP:GNG; the closest I could find to an encyclopedic RS is
[3], which is a dictionary entry.
MarcZ (
talk·contribs) suggested in June 2009 that this page be merged to
Spin-up because there are few links and it is only a feature of spin-up, but that article is also nominated for deletion.
Reason: PRODded with notability concerns, but it had already been prodded in 2010 over unclear concerns about original research that likely regarded content that is no longer in the article. Only current source is IMDB, Allmovie has no reviews (
Part 1,
Part 2), and the miniseries is not even on Rotten Tomatoes.
Food quality is a very vague topic that belongs more in a dictionary than an encyclopedia. There is no information here that couldn't be included in a different article.
Reason: Search engine results suggest that this is more commonly known without the initial definite article. The redirect currently at the move target is to an article which does not mention something by that name.
Reason: From internet search, I'm not sure that
Vacuum permittivity or
Relative permittivity is called the "epsilon number"; almost all results are about
Epsilon numbers (mathematics). However,
Epsilon 0 would be a valid disambiguation page that would include only Vacuum permittivity and Epsilon numbers (mathematics). If deleted or moved, Epsilon numbers (mathematics) will be moved to the base title.
Reason: Like the related article
Cosmic entity (DC Comics), this article consists entirely of
WP:OR and does not prove that the topic meets
WP:GNG. The lone source ia a Polygon op-ed that speaks of a "cosmic universe" in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not of cosmic entities. The associated list, which is also included in this AfD, seems to be more coherent than its DC counterpart, but is based solely on primary sources.
Reason: Why do males get a distinct category while females do not? Either way, this category should ideally include about half of all articles about individual horses, unless
our notorious gender bias also affects our coverage on individual non-human animals.
Reason: The associated article,
Cosmic entity (DC Comics), will almost certainly be deleted at its AfD, and this list has exactly the same problems as the main article — namely, it is pure
WP:OR without any references, has unclear inclusion criteria, and fails
WP:LISTN — except that unlike the embedded list at the main article, it includes additional characters who are not significant enough for inclusion in the more general
lists of DC Comics characters. I'm not sure that the definition stated in the lead is the same as in the other list, and I can once again make the examples of
Bat-Mite and
Starro I gave in the other AfD. At the talk page, there's a discussion with similar concerns from 2005–2006 that I wish to embed here.During the last AfD in 2020, users argued for trimming the non-notable entries, despite that the trimmed article would be exactly the same as the embedded list at the main article. The contents haven't changed one bit since then.
Reason: The
antihero is obviously a notable topic, but I'm not convinced that a list of them is notable in the academic sense. The contents are mostly rolling up listicles and similar non-RS, or sources that label specific characters in passing as antiheroes.Aside from that,
this 2008 CfD, along with prior CfDs under different titles, established that the label of an antihero is too broad and subjective for a category, so it is probably also too subjective for a list (
WP:SALAT). In light of this, the quality of the references, the tendency to attract unsourced entries, and the removal of sourced entries that editors disagree with, are unsurprising.
Reason: Non-free image that doesn't really add anything to the text, and is also low quality. It is already clear from the text that a
curium-248 target was used in the initial discovery of
livermorium, and nothing that would need an image to be represented.
Reason: We at FTN recently analyzed the article, which is somewhat unfocused and used mainly pro-fringe sources for medical content, and concluded that the rest should be deleted. The remaining sources are all
WP:MEDPRIMARY and possibly
WP:PROFRINGE, and some of them are not about
hydrogen administered in aqueous solution, but rather on purported therapeutic uses of hydrogen in general.
Reason: Yet another non-notable list of people on postage stamps. Not going through PROD since this has non-inline sources and
Johnpacklambert (
talk·contribs) made some minor edits recently, but thosr references are two well-known stamp catalogs (
Scott catalogue and
Stanley Gibbons catalogue) and have no bearing on
WP:LISTN.
Reason: Undid a presumptive bad-faith PROD nomination by LTA, per
Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Software_projects_crosswiki_LTA, but I have reason to believe that this is genuinely non-notable. This purportedly obsolete software has no non-primary sources, and includes a line about an unrelated project with the same name.
Reason: This is not the only or main timeline template; there are several other generic templates for different kinds of timeline for use in different context, such as
Template:Sidebar timeline to create a sidebar; this one creates a
navbox.
Reason: I'm not sure that this member of
Silence 4 is independently notable. This BLP has no references, and the external link (supposedly an announcement of Costa leaving the band) is dead. I have already corrected the title from an unnecessarily fine band-based disambiguation, since the other
Rui Costas are not musicians.
Completely unsourced.
WP:BEFORE shows no reliable third-party sources to establish
notability for this topic. Almost all entries are simply a name and a profession. They have all been tagged for expansion since 2008 and safe to say that expansion isn't coming.
Reason: Per the updated
WP:CHEMGROUP guideline: For groups of compounds named after a simple parent compound, articles about the group should be located at the plural of the parent compound name[.]
Reason: This article came up at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Triarch as a potential redirect target, but several users (and myself) have noted that this DC Comics story arc fails
WP:GNG. The content is solely a short plot summary and a list of issues.
Reason: Was suspected to be a hoax by
Nythar (
talk·contribs), but they removed their own {{db-hoax}} tag without further comment. The draft is unsourced and with vague timeframe, and I found zero search engine results that mention something called Hamek in relation to
Najmadin Shukr Rauf.
Reason: Search engine results for Magonia point to the mythological place, or to various other works which do not have Wikipedia articles, particualrly the novel by
Maria Dahvana Headley. This page receives the vast majority of the pageviews compared to the genus
Magonia (plant). The disambiguation page at the base title should not be deleted, since the Headley book is a valid entry as well.
Reason: I can't find any significant usage related to this person, other than as an insult. Probably why the entry .*corn[- ]?hole (titles ending with cornhole) is on the
title blacklist.
Reason: While I have not checked whether there are any other nitrates of zirconium, zirconium also has several lower oxidation states, and most other inorganic zirconium(IV) compounds have the oxidation state in the title.
Reason: During
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shep Unplugged, the nominator repeatedly rebutted comments by other users because none of the sources provided are simultaneously reliable and support the name of the talk show. I was likewise unable to confirm this title.
Reason: I can verify that this channel exists, but I don't see much evidence that it is notable.
Google News turns up empty, and
ProQuest results are primarily announcements such as
[4], which are sometimes linked to the channel Living Foodz (now
Zee Zest).
Reason: Can't find any significant connection between this title and its target, even when specifying that results also mention Elvis. Target section
removed in September 2021 due to apparent lack of notability. Still mentioned at
Amanda Lear discography.
Reason: Mass-created stub by
Carlossuarez46 (
talk·contribs). PRODded by
VersaceSpace (
talk·contribs) who asserted that the designation as a "village" and a "military installation" is
WP:OR, but I think we will need a
WP:BEFORE check to confirm or disconfirm these claims, per
WP:NGEO.
Reason: Previous AfD was speedy closed due to an unclear rationale, an outcome endorsed at DRV with no prejudice for a renomination or merger discussion.I'm not sure from
WP:BEFORE that this topic is notable enough even for a merger. Most results are mirrors of Wikipedia, primary, or non-RS, except for
Encyclopedia Britannica.
Reason: I can't find anything called Yesso in direct connection to the Ainu — search indicates it is a historical name for
Hokkaido, among various other uses. Should I retarget to that page, or disambiguate between Hokkaido and
Diego Yesso?
Reason: Prodded twice, both times because it is wholly redundant to
Precognition. As it stands, it is largely a
WP:DICDEF. 3 of the 6 references are by the inventor of the term, Ref. 5 is likely
WP:PROFRINGE and may fail
WP:SYNTH, and Ref. 6 is another Wikipedia article (
Zaum) that uses the term, but almost certainly in a different meaning than this article. Not sure about Ref. 3, which is a book about dreams by
Vine Deloria Jr., but I suspect that it is also profringe because he also wrote Red Earth, White Lies.
Reason: Poorly written article that was PRODded and then redirected, but the title is not a plausible redirect. I don't think there is any content worth merging to
Laterite or
Borneo.
Reason: Cannot find evidence that this person meets
WP:GNG, or that the honors and awards (
CNN Heroes,
Obama Foundation Fellow) are significant. The closest I found was
[5], which is written like a press release. Only sources are their organization, New Earth, and the award providers. I have not attempted to determine notability of New Earth. Created by a paid SPA
Leesada (
talk·contribs) with unsourced and promotional content, which has since been removed, and a different SPA
Izziyait (
talk·contribs) later attempted to add more unsourced content that closely matches that which was removed.
Reason: Main article and all associated articles deleted by
PROD, only remaining blue links are all educational institutions that happen to have teams in this non-notable league.
Reason: Mass-created by
Passportguy (
talk·contribs) in 2009 based on an unreliable database
https://tageo.com. There is something at the specified coordinates, but the fact that this was not overwritten or redirected by
Carlossuarez46 (
talk·contribs) when he mass-created Iranian village stubs is suspect. Search engine results for
fa:آق بلاغ خالد returned only mirrors of the Farsi translation of this article.
Reason: Mass-created by
Passportguy (
talk·contribs) in 2009 based on an unreliable database
https://tageo.com. There is something at the specified coordinates, but they are actually in
East Azerbaijan Province, and the fact that this was not overwritten or redirected by
Carlossuarez46 (
talk·contribs) when he mass-created Iranian village stubs is suspect. Neither of the
Yusefabad stubs created by Carlossuarez46 matches this place.
Reason: Unreferenced BLP who fails
WP:GNG, created by a promotional SPA who edited solely on this topic. All of his films either do not have articles or are at AfD for the same reason.
Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by
User:Carlossuarez46. Name is of a well, but there is something at the provided coordinates that could be a village.
Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by
User:Carlossuarez46. Name is of a well, but there is something at the provided coordinates that could be a village.
Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by
User:Carlossuarez46. Name is of a well, but there is something at the provided coordinates that could be a village. I removed unsourced content about an alleged murder that contained dubious information (The prime suspect behind the bodies is Wanye Al-ballshar[...] [who] uncovered the bodies; the population has declined by 2 million") and was accompanied by an image generated by
This Person Does Not Exist.
Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by
User:Carlossuarez46. Name is of a well, and there is no community at the given coordinates. PRODded, but quickly deprodded because I added the wrong rationale.
Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by
User:Carlossuarez46. The name contains chah (چاه, well), and the geocoordinates go to a subdivision of
Yazd called Akramiyeh (
Persian: اکرمیه). Not sure if this subdivision meets
WP:NGEO.
Reason: Created by a user who has been warned for creating redirects based on a
subreddit involving
GPT2; these particular redirects are likely based on
[6]. The latter has been retargeted, but I'm not convinced that it's a good target.
Reason: Excessively vague redirect created by a user with several problematic redirects. However, this one does not appear to be derived from the GPT2 reddit.
Reason: One of several 1-page subcategories of the listed merge target; I will bulk nominate all of them if this one closes as merge. Should also be merged to
Category:Bengali-language newspapers.
Reason: Yet another
StrexcorpEmployee (
talk·contribs) redirect based on
a post in the GPT2 subreddit. Can't find any evidence from plain search that this spelling was ever used in English, but the
ProQuest results are a bit less clear and may be about a different, French-language newspaper not covered in enwiki.
Reason: Mass-created article by
User:Carlossuarez46 based on unreliable databases; alternative name "Chah-e Amiq Shomareh-ye Do Zurzamand" of this putative village is of a well. Apparently deprodded by the prodder for no apparent reason.
Reason: The image on the article that supposedly represents the article subject. Mass-created article by
User:Carlossuarez46 based on unreliable databases; name of this putative village is of a well. However, as there is nontrivial content in the article, an image which is purportedly a photograph of the village, I am instead going the route of AfD. However, I cannot verify the provided English or Farsi name (چاه بردي) in a search engine.
Reason: Previously deleted by PROD because it has the name of a well (چه, or chah, means well in Persian). The new source in this version by a different user does not help us, as it is a database search for the 2015 Iranian census, and this place name failed
WP:V.
Reason: This page was nominated for PROD by
Let'srun (
talk·contribs) using an incorrect procedure, and then deprodded without comment by
Snickers2686 (
talk·contribs). The rationale was:
Reason: Because the
Carlos Hank González at the base title was also a Mexican businessman, we cannot disambiguate by country or by occupation. If the other page is moved from the base title, it would then go to
Carlos Hank González (born 1927).
Reason: All three items on this dab page are
WP:PTM:
Ab Bandan Kash,
Ab Bandan Nonush, and
Ab Bandan Sar.
Carlossuarez46 (
talk·contribs) created a very large number of Iran placename dabs like this one, many containing
WP:PTM; this is just a pilot for the alphabetically earliest one that I found. I have not attempted to verify any of the individual pages under this dab.
Reason: This
WP:PTM case is a bit trickier. Several of the Carlossuarez46 place name dabs include two nearby place names differing only in the adjectives olya (عليا) and sofla (سفلي), which respectively mean upper and lower in Arabic; in this case,
Abdol Khakhi-ye Olya and
Abdol Khakhi-ye Sofla in
Salas-e Babajani County.
This is a rumour, and as far as I can tell there are no credible sources - this claim is based on interviews with Thai Ngoc by two minor Vietnamese media outlets, and has not been scientifically verified. Thai Ngoc is not notable for any other reason. Therefore, I propose that this article be deleted unless a sufficiently believable source can be cited. —
User:121.73.78.69
Reason: Mass-created article by
User:Carlossuarez46 based on unreliable databases; name of this putative village is of a well. Incorrectly deprodded, since the prior AfD was for a disambiguation page with 1 entry.
Reason: I'm not sure that this decade should be pointing to a disambiguation page which includes only two things numbered 4570, and
5th millennium which redirects to
Timeline of the far future. See below also the 236 decade redirects to the latter page.
Reason: I was unable to find significant coverage of this
geographic coordinate system; most results are mirrors of Wikipedia or the organization who created the system. The only source is primary, after I removed
WP:OR regarding the
intellectual property claims on this algorithm.
Reason: Unused with no forseeable use; the image is an original representation of a setting in Little Big Adventure. Was used on
Binary stars in fiction, along with several other similarly unencyclopedic images, before that page was cleared and redirected by
TompaDompa (
talk·contribs).
Reason: Fails
WP:GNG, and tagged for notability since 2011 — the only usage in Google Scholar are Tschegg (2009) and a passing mention in another article which references Tschegg; the other reference does not mention this topic. Was redirected (inappropriately) in 2009 to
Espresso by
Materialscientist (
talk·contribs).
Reason: Previously deleted per
G7 following the March 2020 RfD. New redirect does not resolve concerns raised last time. No useful results on the Internet.
Reason: Erroneous Eubot creation based on a stylization. Only
7 pageviews in the last 90 days, compared to 89 for the stylized title
GRΣΣK and 39920 for the target.
Reason: Same as below, except that this was not created by Eubot. Only
10 pageviews in the last 90 days, compared to 89 for the stylized title
GRΣΣK and 39920 for the target.
Reason: Latinized redirect of the stylization "My Big Fat GRΣΣK Wedding". There is no equivalent redirect containing the capital sigma —
GRΣΣK mentioned below is the only one of its kind on Wikipedia — and this redirect mixes sentence case and title case in a way that the film does not. Only
1 pageview in the last 90 days, compared to 152550 for the target.
Reason: I find it odd that we have a 2-page category for two buildings of a particular kind, both in Indonesia, that were not destroyed in a tsunami. We don't even have any categories for buildings that were destroyed by tsunamis.
Reason: It is necessary to rename it to match the main article,
Birdwatching. However, it is unclear which term should be used in Wikipedia articles; the annual subcat is
Category:Birding and ornithology by year, while
Category:Birdwatching sites. I have not ruled out if it is the main article which should be renamed, or if I should bundle this with the entire tree to enforce consistency.
Reason: Not mentioned at target. Previous content was a poorly written duplicate article that included copyvios and spam. Only other creation by the creator
Heavyequipment4u (
talk·contribs) was a promotional userpage.
Reason: There is disagreement on the proper disambiguation to distinguish this person from
Sanjaya Sinh and
Sanjay Singh (Haryana politician), who are all Indian politicians.* This person has represented both
Uttar Pradesh and the
National Capital Territory of Delhi in state and federal offices. He is currently a member of the
Aam Aadmi Party, but previously served in
Samajwadi Party. He was born in 1972.* Sanjaya Sinh has represented Uttar Pradesh in state and federal offices, and is a member of the
Bharatiya Janata Party. He was born in 1951.* Sanjay Singh (Haryana politician) serves in a
Haryana state-level office, and is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party. We do not have a precise birth year for this person.
Reason: Too narrow for the target article, which is only about
gas giants. For example,
helium planets are described in their article as appearing white or gray.
Reason: Except for 2 pages in the California subcat and 1 in the Massachusetts subcat, all of these categories contain only subcats for disc golf courses. Most of those are themselves
WP:SMALLCAT, but will be nominated separately.
Reason: This one is difficult. We need to use the plural to reflect its perimarily set-category contents, but a disambiguator matching the main article
Contact binary (small Solar System body) is unwieldy for plural form. (
Contact binary is about a type of binary star.)
Reason: There was an undiscussed
cut-and-paste move from this page to the base title, which will need to be history-merged; the disambiguation page was moved to
Mirza (disambiguation) via an improper title. Is there a clear primary topic for Mirza?
Reason: Not discussed at the target dab page, and different from
benzodiazepine.<gallery>{{pb}}Clozapine.svg|A dibenzodiazepine ([[clozapine]]){{pb}}Chlordiazepoxide structure.svg|A benzodiazepine ([[chlordiazepoxide]]){{pb}}</gallery>
Reason: Currently this is based only on primary sources from government websites, and may be
WP:SYNTH. I can find attestation to the term, e.g.
[10], but otherwise
WP:GNG is questionable. Created by a COI SPA who repeatedly shoehorned a commercial website into the article text; see also
Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Scores_on_the_doors.
Reason: Standardize fictional element disambiguation, even in the absence of other characters with the name. I would have done this unilaterally, but that conflicted with an existing redirect.
Reason: At their user talk page, creator
Khalsa Mishima (
talk·contribs) claimed that they were personally told by A.S. Khalsa that he has changed his legal name. I was unable to verify this, finding zero results for this name or "Shardul Singh" in connection to his organization
Waris Panjab De.
Reason: Fails
WP:NOTNEWS and
WP:LASTING because there is no in-depth coverage beyond the week of the incident.
Kent G. Budge (
talk·contribs) was unable to find anything except for a paper that briefly describes three different news reports on unexplained meteorite incidents in loose relation to a
strangelet hypothesis.
Reason: Contains only one subcategory, and the name is nonstandard. Based on
Category:Things named after Tolkien works, I am not confident that there are enough astronomical objects to populate this, not even considering
WP:SHAREDNAME to delete the subcategory.
Reason: The capital B is not used for the Ξ− b baryon, if that is what is intended from this redirect. I considered retargeting to
Stalag XI-B with a hatnote to the firearm listed in
Llama Firearms' article, but am unsure if the former is
WP:PTM.
Reason: Overly broad redirect from a merge, as the target is specific to Christianity and does not discuss other religions; there is probably also a missing broad-concept article similar to the stub
Snake handler. An incorrect link was found at
Mareke giri, a type of street performance in Iran.
Reason: This fictional location definitely fails
WP:GNG; search results are a mixture of the non-RS typical of fictional elements, and unrelated things with the same name. Content is almost completely unsourced, including purported real-world background about the name. Can possibly be redirected to Highlander: The Series.
Reason: I cleared out an article here that was a duplicate of
Solanki (clan), but I am not sure is this should instead redirect to the surname
Solanki. There are notable people with the name, but they are currently not listed at that SIA.
Reason: Is the surname more noteworthy than the
Solanki (clan)? I found a duplicate article of the clan at
Solangi and redirected to the clan, but I am not sure if that page should instead redirect here. Although this list currently includes only the surname, there are notable people with the given name Solanki as well (e.g.
Solanki Roy), which would be included in the same article.
Reason: Per rename request incorrectly started as an RfC:
For one thing, the current category name is grammatically wrong.
Another thing, some articles in the category were assassinated before the OUN-B was created, which was in 1940 (see
here) —
User:Jabbi 19:24, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
Reason: Per
MOS:/, a slash usually should not be used to join items, as the meaning is often ambiguous. I don't think this discussion falls under the scope of
WP:ARBPIA.
